UPN: Cyprus
Name: Cyprus
Age: 18 Starter Pokemon: Ralts (Zephuros), Male, Lv. 5 Bio: Cyprus is a Pokemon Trainer fresh out of the bustling Jubilife City. For many years, he and his family have struggled financially after opening a small custom Poketch application store in downtown Jubilife. Despite their money problems, the fierce competition of other Poketch stores in Jubilife, and Poketchs themselves not being a very widespread device at the time, his parents kept the shop open. They kept the few customers they had happy by doing what they loved best, designing Poketch applications. Cyprus enjoyed his family's profession, but constantly longed to trek across the world with his own Pokemon. However, he could not bear to leave his family's business while it was in such a sad state of affair. After coming of age to receive his first Pokemon, Cyprus instead suggested that he continue to work alongside his parents to make sure that their business was a success. Six years later, the Poketch was a commonly equipped device for all Pokemon Trainers, and his family's business finally started to turn a profit. On Cyprus's 18th birthday, his parents surprised him with his first Pokemon, and encouraged him to go out and explore the world. He quickly ventured into the land of Fizzy Bubbles, where he was sure that he'd find an exciting adventure. Personality: Coming from a background of hard work and dedication, Cyprus approaches Pokemon training the same way. He treats his Pokemon as family, and will always listen to what they have to say. Being a man of practicality, he does not favor any single type of Pokemon. Rather, he would prefer to use each of his Pokemon according to their strengths, but will not push them into a situation that is not in their comfort zone. He enjoys working with, and being near technology. He is never seen without his Poketch or PDA, which he uses to record all manner of information throughout his travels. Being outdoors makes Cyprus nervous, but he will endure it for the sake of bettering himself and his Pokemon, not to mention the knowledge he can gain. Knowledge is power to Cyprus, and as such, he is constantly on the lookout for new things to study and new mysteries to unravel. Among other people, Cyprus is soft-spoken, kind, and is always willing to help in any way he can. Appearance Active Team: Ralts (M) Level 50 (Starter) Nickname: Zeph (short for Zephuros) Type: Psychic Lives in: Pokeball Nature: Careful Special Ability: Trace IQ: 6 Contest Stats: Beauty:0, Tough:0, Cute:0, Cool:0, Smart: 20 Level Up Moves: Growl, Confusion, Double Team, Teleport, Lucky Chant Egg Moves: Confuse Ray, Will-o-wisp, Shadow Sneak Move Tutor Moves: Ice Punch Special Moves: Voodoo Bugaloo, Wish Bio: A small, timid Pokemon, Zeph was captured outside Jubilife City by Cyprus's parents and given to him as a gift on his 18th birthday. Zeph obviously enjoys traveling alongside Cyprus, and seems to be bonding quite quickly with its Trainer. Careful and precise, Zeph is a smart Pokemon who thinks things through before it acts. Cyprus named the young Pokemon after the swift and gentle wind of the West, Zephyr. Gastly (M) Level 27, Caught in the Arcane Realm's Graveyard on Nov. 6, 2008 Nickname: Zultaire Type: Ghost/Poison Lives in: Vampire Ball Nature: Serious Special Ability: Levitate IQ: 6 Level Up Moves: Hypnosis, Lick, Spite, Mean Look, Curse, Night Shade, Confuse Ray, Sucker Punch Egg Moves: Haze, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Psywave, Will-o-wisp Move Tutor Moves: Ominous Wind Bio: Zultaire was once the Pokemon of the deceased Alana Rochester. Due to having his memories partially erased by Alana herself as she died, Zultaire became drawn to the Graveyard, the place of her death. Eric Rochester, Alana's husband, blamed the Gastly for the disappearance of his wife. Mr. Rochester grew bitter, and made plans to obtain the Elixir of Life to revive his deceased wife. Falling in with the wrong company, Zultaire joined forces with an evil Gengar, who also desired the Elixir in order to revive its evil master. Eventually, Cyprus helped Zultaire escape Gengar's rule, and after venturing further into the crypt, managed to find the Elixir of Life. Greeted by the angelic form of Alana Rochester, Cyprus left the Elixir be, and the Gastly was able to regain its lost memories. Upon finally receiving closure regarding his wife's death, Mr. Rochester suggested that Cyprus take Alana's Gastly with him. Cyprus accepted, knowing that he could not pass up the opportunity of inheriting a Pokemon with a vast amount of previous experience. Zultaire is clearly a powerful Pokemon, contributing to the death of over one hundred of Gengar's evil Haunter minions. He has a serious demeanor, clearly meaning business when he battles, and is glad to provide guidance for his new young Trainer whenever he can. Grotle (M) Level 25, Hatched from a Starter Egg on Nov. 13, 2008 Nickname: Tremor Type: Grass Lives in: Frankenball Nature: Naughty Special Ability: Overgrow Level Up Moves: Tackle, Withdraw, Absorb, Razor Leaf, Curse, Bite Egg Moves: Superpower, Body Slam, Thrash, Double-edge, Growth, Sand Tomb, Seed Bomb Move Tutor Moves: Synthesis, Earth Power TM Moves: Taunt, Fury Cutter, Rage Bio: As soon as this Pokemon hatched, Cyprus knew that it was unlike the rest of his team. It threw such a powerful tantrum that it shook the ground, earning him the nickname, Tremor. He doesn't get along with Cyprus's Pokemon, and does not seem to have an ounce of respect towards his Trainer. Tremor prefers down and dirty tactics, relying on brute strength to win. He thinks that Cyprus's "tactics" and "plans" just get in the way of his battling. Cyprus is unsure whether or not he'll be able to reel in this Pokemon's huge ego, but it's clear that some intense training sessions are needed. Otherwise Tremor may -never- end up obeying Cyprus... Spinarak (M) Level 5, Hatched by Aquatic Angel, and Adopted on January 9, 2009 Nickname: Jitters Type: Bug/Poison Lives in: Pokeball Nature: Quirky Special Ability: Insomnia IQ: 6 Level Up Moves: Poison Sting, String Shot, Scary Face Egg Moves: Pursuit, Sonicboom, Toxic Spikes Move Tutor Moves: Bug Bite, Bounce, Signal Beam TM Moves: Toxic, Hidden Power (Water), Sunny Day, Protect, Giga Drain, Frustration, Solar Beam, Return, Dig, Psychic, Double Team, Sludge Bomb, Facade, Secret Power, Rest, Attract, Thief, Endure, Flash, Captivate, Sleep Talk, Natural Gift, Poison Jab, Swagger, Substitute Special Moves: Metronome Bio: Cyprus sees potential in this little guy, but seems to be very busy with his other Pokemon at the moment. Jitters is normally a mild-mannered Spinarak, but his Insomnia takes quite a toll on his attitude. Prone to sudden and sometimes extremely violent outbursts, Cyprus tries his best to give him plenty of personal space. Jitters is frequently found in Cyprus's camp at night, resting in a hammock built out of his webbing, which is actually his clever way of catching unsuspecting prey. He guards Cyprus as he sleeps with fervency that unnerves the young Trainer, but Cyprus is ultimately appreciative of his loyal, yet quirky attitude. *shiny* Stunky (F) Level 1, Hatched from a Poison Nature Egg on November 12, 2010 Nickname: Type: Poison/Dark Lives in: Pokeball Nature: Unknown Special Ability: Aftermath Level Up Moves: Scratch, Focus Energy Bio: Cyprus has never seen a Pokemon quite like this Stunky before, and is still trying to figure out its personality. The young Trainer is pleased by its arrival, and even though it's quite possibly the worst thing he's smelled in his life, he believes it rounds his team out quite nicely for the time being. Glameow (F) Level 4, Hatched from a Normal Pound Egg on December 25, 2008 Nickname: Holly Type: Normal Lives in: 2008 Fizzy Bubbles Christmas Ball Nature: Jolly Special Ability: Limber IQ: 1 Beauty Points: 10 Contest Stats: Beauty:10, Tough:10, Cute:10, Cool:10, Smart:10 Level Up Moves: Fake Out Egg Moves: Sand-attack, Bite Move Tutor Moves: Super Fang, Fury Cutter, Sucker Punch, Headbutt, Snore TM Moves: Return Special Moves: Shadow Claw Bio: Born on Christmas Day, Cyprus could not bear to put this meowing kitten in the adoption center, despite being slightly allergic. The Glameow was very thankful for Cyprus's kindness, and began to mew Christmas tunes! The Trainer thought it fitting to gift the Pokemon with a special Pokeball, and a festive name, given the season. Holly couldn't be any happier! She enjoys cuddling with Cyprus, and her lovely mewing lulls him to sleep with ease. PC Pokemon: Dustox (F) Level 16, Hatched by Aquatic Angel, and Adopted on Oct. 13, 2008 (Holding Silver Powder) Nickname: Autumn Type: Bug/Poison Lives in: Pokeball Nature: Unknown Special Ability: Shield Dust Beauty Points: 10 Level Up Moves: Tackle, String Shot, Poison Sting, Harden, Confusion, Gust Bio: Cyprus could not resist the glassy-eyed stare of this Bug Pokemon in the Adoption Center as it reminded him of the terrible circumstances in which he was forced to eat an illusionary, albeit realistic, Wurmple in the Arcane Realm. Naming the young Wurmple "Autumn" seemed appropriate given the season, and the beautiful bright colors painted on the Bug Pokemon seemed to reinforce his naming choice. As Cyprus's first fully-evolved Pokemon, she is eager to prove her worth! __WORKS IN PROGRESS. DIGGING UP LINKS EATEN BY UPN.__ Yanmega (M) Level 25 Hatched by PikaGod, Traded to Empoleon Dynamte, Obtained in a Trade with Empoleon Dynamite on October 31, 2010 Nickname: Pop-Tart (PT or Petey for short) Type: Bug/Flying Lives in: Bug Ball Nature: Naive Special Ability: Speed Boost Level Up Moves: Night Slash, Bug Bite, Tackle, Foresight, Quick Attack, Double Team, Sonic Boom, Supersonic Egg Moves: Pursuit, Sonicboom, Toxic Spikes Move Tutor Moves: Ancient Power, Omnious Wind, String Shot TM Moves: Sky Attack, Flash Cannon, Energy Ball, Dark Pulse, Razor Wind, Sludge Bomb, Poison Jab, Steel Wing, Aerial Ace, Dragonbreath, Giga Drain, Shockwave, Psywave, Swift, U-Turn, Bullet Seed,Fury Cutter, Detect, Endure, Light Screen, Reflect, Substitute, Psych Up, Taunt, Torment, Flash, Whirlwind, Sweet Scent, Swagger, Toxic Silver Wind? (needs link) Bio: After being hatched, PT remained in relative inactivity until traded into the possession of a wealthy Trainer named Wes. PT was showered with gifts, and learned a lot under Wes's tutelage. His training finally culminated at the Fizzy Bubbles PokeRinger Tournament, where PT took the gold medal for Wes, and made his Trainer very proud! Afterward however, Wes became interested in other hobbies and Pokemon, and PT was once again left at the wayside. As Wes made his way to the Adoption Center to give PT a better home, he bumped into Cyprus, who after seeing the champion-pedigree Pokemon immediately made arrangements to have him traded to his roster. Cyprus hopes to take PT all the way to another championship in the future, and this Yanmega couldn't be any happier for a chance to compete once more! Forretress (M) Level 55 Hatched by Cyprus, Adopted by Hayward, Obtained in a Trade with Hayward on November 1, 2010 Nickname: Forteo Type: Bug/Steel Lives in: 2008 Christmas Ball Nature: Quirky Special Ability: Sturdy Contest Stats: Beauty:20, Tough:20, Cute:20, Cool:20, Smart:20 Level Up Moves: Toxic Spikes, Tackle, Protect, Selfdestruct, Bug Bite, Take Down, Rapid Spin, Bide, Natural Gift, Spikes, Payback, Mirror Shot, Explosion, Iron Defense, Gyro Ball, Double Edge Egg Moves: Move Tutor Moves: Gravity TM Moves: Thunder Wave Bio: Between travelling back in time, fighting a genetically-altered monster, and stopping a herd of Shadow Tauros, Cyprus's first hatchling Pokemon has become quite a seasoned veteren under Will's training. Cyprus felt very guilty putting Forteo in the adoption center just after it had hatched, and a year later was offered a chance to take care of him once more. Forteo doesn't seem to be immediately warming up to Cyprus, which the young Trainer feels is fully understandable, given the calibur of company the Forretress is used to. Cyprus only hopes that he can regain Forteo's trust once more, and take him on more fabulous adventures just as Will had.
