Description <- for this.

Full view, please! And in case anyone is wondering... that Stunfisk is using Bounce to get so air-born.

Forgive this wall of text. You don't have to read it if you're not doing anything in the STABoct or IPL, anyway.

-----
Name: Adelaide Grady
Age: 25
Height: 5'5''
Hometown: Traveled often as a child and has never stopped moving around. Her home region, however, is Unova.
Personality: Adelaide, or Ade to friends, is a very carefree, laid back woman. She's energetic, very excitable, and has a knack for getting herself into ridiculous situations. She's a very relaxed trainer, never putting much effort in training her Pokemon companions further than what's necessary to get her by. Battles are a means of extra cash when and only when things start getting uncomfortably tight. In fact, she'd rather come up with some other form of challenge than by battle if at all possible, often able to propose very... interesting means of alternative competition. She cares for all of her Pokemon, naturally, and acts as half cheerleader half awkward coach trying to give instruction. Even the moody Agro, who often times will refuse to listen to her completely, is given cautious encouragement. She's also quick to praise after a challenge weather or not it's been won or lost.

Overall she is an extroverted person, comfortable with speaking to strangers and a very easy person to talk to. She's loud, she loves to laugh, and would much prefer to see the comedy in things. She's usually the last person to realize that a situation needs to be considered seriously and even then will try and keep the mood up with a positive attitude. Adelaide has often been called a 'spazz' in reference towards her general personality. She has an unconscious tendency to look after her friends. She's like that really awesome aunt who let's you have cake for breakfast - unless you're a close friend or family in which case she's a more protective older-sister type. Even if she barely knew someone she'd still come to give them a lift or help them out should they call on her.

Adelaide moves to the beat of her own tune. Far from being scatterbrained, she's got something of a good head on her shoulders - if she didn't she wouldn't have been able to successfully create and continue her free-lance delivery service. She is no sharp-minded, clever businesswoman though. She's a firm believer in try, fail, try again, fail better. No-one and nothing is perfect and all one can do is keep trying until you figure out how to do it right. Her morals can sometimes seem questionable, considering her work motto is "I'll deliver anything! ANYTHING." She'd never intentionally harm someone if she can at all prevent it, and does do SOME research into potential clients. Not that she's had to be too incredibly wary since most of the Teams have disbanded or gone into the underground. Ade is very serious about getting her deliveries to their destination in as good of a condition as possible - it depends on her and her Pokemon's ability to get the things they need, after all. Don't mess with her package or face some serious wrath.

TL;DR Adelaide is a cheerful, upbeat, energetic, easily excited, WEIRD person. She'll be the comic relief but she's not an idiot flailing around, either. She'd just rather try and find the comedy in situations and is easily distracted by the fun things. There's just too much in life to enjoy! When it's time to get serious she's going to be the last person to sober up, but she'll get down to bid'niss if she's got to. She's part cheerleader, part awkward coach to her Pokemon and isn't necessarily the most adamant of trainer - she doesn't really do too much training with her Pokemon beyond what is necessary to get her by. She's not much of a strict battler and would rather come up with any other kind of alternative challenge if at all possible. Adelaide is at least serious about one thing - making her deliveries. Mess with one of her packages and you're toast.

History: Growing up her parents moved around very often, never settling in any one town. The longest she spent anywhere in her young life was Pallet Town where she spent nearly a year playing with her younger first cousins Harlan and Shaina Lowe. After they moved away from there she was brought back to the region she was born in, Unova, where they stayed. Rather than setting out on a Pokemon Journey when she came 'of age' Adelaide continued to travel with her family. It wasn't until she was old enough to be on her own that she decided to start her Journey... which didn't get very far. She stumbled upon a seriously injured Solosis and rushed it to the nearest PokeCenter. Instead of continuing any further she kept the Solosis, which she named Filo, and ended her big Journey there. Adelaide started up a free-lance Delivery service called "Silver Wind Deliveries" soon after. It's her main source of income as well as a means to satisfy her wanderlust. Her slogan is "I'll delivery anything to anyone anywhere!" Needless to say, she's found herself all over the place - though mostly staying in the Unova region until now.
ABUSE CLAUSE: I'm coo wit ANYTHING the judges throw at me, so long as Adelaide or any of her Mons don't actually die.

Extra:
-The goggles are pretty much for bad-weather driving OR for when Agro uses her Sandstorm attack only. Adelaide doesn't wear them over her eyes and rather prefers to let them hang loose around her neck or wear them up on top of her head.
-QUITE OFTEN she will push the sleeves of her sweater up. Beneath her sweater Adelaide has a black wife-beater type tank top on. If she gets hot or if it gets torn up she'll take it off and tie it around her waste. She also carries rather LARGE messenger style bag around with her. Sometimes it holds deliveries as well as her items.
-Her scooter's name is Scooty. She keeps it in excellent condition and would be VERY upset if anything happened to it. It IS her only mode of transportation, after all, which is something necessary for her delivery service.
-Her delivery service is free-lance and called "Silver Wind Deliveries", her slogan is "I'll delivery ANYTHING to ANYONE ANYWHERE." Despite this she's not an idiot and won't accept a job that will harm someone/is incredibly seedy.
-Some water Pokemon kind of freak her out. Top of the list being Huntail, Gorebyss, Tentacool/Tentacruel, Barboach/Whiscash, Relicanth, and Frillish/Jellicent. The others she can deal with on a varying level - the more weird and fishy they are they more uneasy she is. She can tolerate Stunfisk a bit better than others thanks to Fiskerton.

Pokemon #1
Name: Filo
Species: Reuniclus
Sex: Male
Ability: Magic Guard, Regenerator
Nature: Mild nature; Somewhat stubborn
Personality: Intelligent, patient, calm, sense of humor, able to loosen up
Battle Style: The most competent when it comes to pure battle of Adelaide's troupe. Filo is her only Pokemon who can do just fine on his own since he's a quick thinker, it makes him good at executing things on the fly. They both trust each other completely. He tends to start things out by using Reflect, giving him a bit more of an edge defense wise and a chance to observe the opponent and the way it moves. He tends to attack from far off, trying to stay out of reach with his special attacks but can land a terrifying Dizzy Punch should he be forced into close combat.
Moves: Psyshock | Hidden Power (Bug) | Dizzy Punch | Endeavor | Reflect
Other info: Filo has been with Adelaide since the beginning. He became her first Pokemon after she found him as a Solosis badly poisoned from a wild battle he'd gotten into. They've been inseparable ever since. Their bond is extremely strong and their trust is even stronger. Despite his very mild, calm personality he'll occasionally partake in a spur-of-the-moment activity. Generally he prefers everything to be planned out. He's a stickler for being there on time... or making a delivery on time. More often than not he's out of his Pokeball and traveling around with Adelaide.
Extra - The gel around Filo's "ears" are exceptionally large.

Filo gets along with all of the other Pokemon on the team just fine.

Pokemon #2
Name: Spookylight
Species: Lampent
Sex: Male
Ability: Flame Body, Shadow Tag
Nature: Quirky nature; Mischievous
Personality: Mischievous, a trickster, likes to tease, will mess with grumpy people/Pokemon because it's fun, everything is a game
Battle Style: Spookylight is very playful, even in battle. He doesn't often take fights seriously, which only ends up making him seem a tad creepy in retrospect. He dances around the opponents attacks and throws his own back at them almost casually. This little trickster will lure in unsuspecting Pokemon with Will-O-Wisp and give them a nasty burn when they least suspect it. After that he'll lay on a Hex and proceed to Flame Burst and Shadow Ball. That said he likes to burn, burn, BURN away the competition when he does get serious with an Overheat.
Moves: Flame Burst | Will-O-Wisp | Hex | Shadow Ball | Overheat
Other info: Spookylight takes everything as a game, which can sometimes be a little creepy. He seems to take after Adelaide in that he'd prefer to never be serious about anything. He'd much rather spend his time popping out from no where trying to scare people or annoying the heck out of Agro. It's hard to keep his attention on any one thing and sometimes Ade has a bit of a time keeping him focused during battles. After a successful battle he'll often perform a victory dance that Adelaide will often join in on.

Spookylight is a bit of a neusance to the other Pokemon. Agro can't stand being around him, much less working with him. He gets along pretty well with Honey, though.

Pokemon #3
Name: Sadface
Species: Archen
Sex: Male
Ability: Defeatist
Nature: Timid nature; Quick to flee
Personality: Emo, pessimistic, a downer, shy, hates battling
Battle Style: Sadface hates competing. He's incredibly reluctant to participate in any kind of challenge battle or not. When Adelaide does manage to coax him into participating he's very hesitant to actually attack, instead using Double Team to EXCESSIVE amounts followed by Agility, often times two or three times in a row. Anything to keep something from hitting him. He'll get an attack in when no one is looking if it's possible. After he's been worn down a bit he has an extremely bad habit of just... giving up. His tactic is to Double Team some more and try and hide amongst the fakes. It takes a considerable amount of cheering, encouragement, and coaching for Adelaide to be able to get him to do anything actually productive after he gets like that. He is the fastest Pokemon on her team due to unintentional EV training.
Moves: Crunch | Wing Attack | Ancient Power | Agility | Double Team
Other info: The baby of the group. While making a delivery to a Day Care Center Adelaide found this little guy thrust into her arms, the breeder that had just hatched him running off without saying anything. She was thrilled to have him... even after she found out he couldn't fly, he was a horrible fighter, and he always gave up. Sadface is always the downer, the sad guy, the pessimistic. He doesn't like to battle. At all. Adelaide even has a hard time getting him to participate in other activities that don't involve fighting because he still thinks he'll lose. He is always, always getting encouragement and is extremely coddled by Adelaide in her attempt to boost his confidence. Along with Filo, Sadface is also often out of his Pokeball and perched on the back of Adelaide's scooter, her shoulder, or arm.

Sadface is a bit of an annoyance to the other Pokemon, being such a downer and the baby of the group. He tends to tag along behind Filo and steers COMPLETELY clear of Agro. He also especially doesn't get on well with Honey despite attempts to prove he's not out to get her or her seeds.

Pokemon #4
Name: Agro
Species: Krookodile
Sex: Female
Ability: Intimidate, Anger Point
Nature: Adamant nature; Often dozes off
Personality: Mildly grumpy, likes to nap, easy to fly off the handle in battle
Battle Style: Agro will battle if she feels like battling. She completely refuses to listen to anything Adelaide says. Even if it means loosing. On very rare occasion she'll heed something Adelaide tells her to do, but will try to play it off as something she intended to do already. She launches into battle blindly most times and is quick to go into a Rage or if she gets even more mad she'll kick up a blinding Sandstorm. Agro refuses to work in a team with any other Pokemon but Fiskerton... whom she works incredibly well with. If paired up with Fiskerton she'll even be more inclined to listen to instruction from Adelaide.
Moves: Bite | Rage | Dig | Sandstorm | Payback
Other info: Adelaide got Agro as payment for her VERY FIRST Delivery for her 'Silver Wind Deliveries' service. She's never accepted Pokemon as payment since. Agro is devastatingly strong... but often times will ignore her trainer and trundle off to take a nap instead. She prefers to walk on all fours than upright despite her arms being significantly longer than her legs. Agro is often times just mildly grumpy and disobedient outside of battle but can get rather violent in battle when provoked.
Extra: -Agro's pokeball is an Ultra Ball.

Agro is mostly neutral towards the others on the team, so long as they leave her alone. She tends to get into spats often with Spookylight, who insists on pestering her all the time. She seems to be very close to and the only one to really understand the enigmatic Fiskerton.

Pokemon #5
Name: Fiskerton
Species: Stunfisk
Sex: Female
Ability: Limber, Static
Nature: Calm nature; Good perseverance
Personality: ...
Battle Style: Fiskerton is... an enigma. She listens to direction from Adelaide completely and that's really it. She doesn't really do anything on her own. Without instruction she has a tendency to just... sit there. Staring. Smiling. A Bounce from her is said to give the victim nightmares for days.
Moves: Surf | Camouflage | Mud Bomb | Discharge | Bounce
Other info: Fiskerton is kind of an enigma. Adelaide caught her almost by accident after stepping on her and getting a nasty shock. She dropped a Pokeball and ended up catching her. Maybe Fiskerton WANTED to be caught. Adelaide is a little freaked out by the fishy appearance but loves Fisk just as much as her other Pokemon. She makes an amazing surf-board.
Extra: -Fiskerton hardly ever makes any sound. She just... stares.
-She's got little freckly marks beneath her eyes on her 'cheeks'.
-Adelaide named Fiskerton before she realized the Stunfisk was female... woops.

She seems to get along fine with the others... but only Agro really seems to understand what she's 'saying' with her vacant stares. She seems to be best friends with Agro.

Pokemon #6
Name: Honey
Species: Maractus
Sex: Female
Ability: Water Absorb, Storm Drain
Nature: Naive nature; Highly curious
Personality: Paranoid, eccentric, suspicious of all, jittery
Battle Style: Battle with Honey can be a sometimes frantic experience. She's usually all over the place and has a tendency to overuse Giga Drain. It might take a little bit for Adelaide to get through to her and have her start listening to direction if the opponent is a bird-type or has Intimidated Honey but once she's tuned into her trainer things tend to go more smoothly.
Moves: Needle Arm | Petal Dance | Giga Drain | Grasswhistle | Solar Beam
Other info: Honey is something of a paranoid eccentric. She was this way when Adelaide caught her so what exactly happened to the Pokemon to make her this way is unknown. It took a while but Ade gradually earned the trust of Honey, enough to be able to battle or challenge others in competition with her. Everyone else is under suspicion, though. ESPECIALLY bird-type Pokemon. She's terrified of birds, Sadface is hardly any exception. It's hard to keep her attention focused on anything when there's so much to worry about. Occasionally, when anxiety and stress levels skyrocket, Honey will break out into nervous song and dance, shaking her ears around to create a maraca like sound. When out of her Pokeball she is ALWAYS close to Adelaide or Spookylight.

She's rather leery of the other Pokemon on the team. She does get along fairly well with Spookylight, though, who seems to help loosen her up a bit from time to time.
