PERSONAL INTERVIEW WITH CHARACTER
What is your earliest memory?
My earliest memory...I can't remember it completely, but I was outside beside the forest. I wasn't allowed to go in there without a Pokemon, but stupid me went in anyways... I don't remember much other than running back out of it after a while. I know something did happen, since I noticed my hair changed color after I came out of the forest.
What was your biggest disillusion as a child?
I pretended I was a super hero and the strongest trainer. I remember yelling out commands to imaginary Pokemon and at the television, even during dinnertime, haha.
What's one thing no one knows about you?
I guess if my hair is actually natural or not? If I remembered what happened better, I'd know about it too...
What's one thing everyone assumes about you that isn't true?
I'm not lamebandana! Bandannas are cool, okay? And just because I'm a trainer, I like to battle 24/7. I actually gave up on battling a while ago...
What's one thing you wish you could stop?
I wish I didn't get into so many arguments with Lash. I actually do respect her for being so accomplished and able to absorb new information so quick. I look up to her determination, too. She'd be able to accomplish anything she wanted, probably.
What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
I want to program and develop my own Pokedex.
What are you a sucker for?
I guess finding new things about Pokemon...! Outfit-making, too. If someone asks me to make an outfit, I will never say no!
What's your biggest pet peeve?
Un-kept hair! How can someone go around with hair that's sticking out all over the place?? I guess I easily get irritated with people who acts before they think... I've seen so many people get into trouble like that...and they never learn! It's just so annoying seeing them make the same mistakes every single time!
What is your most prized possession?
I guess my sewing equipment! Also my observation notes!
What can absolutely make your day, no matter what?
Seeing a well-raised Pokemon during contests always make my day brighter! Getting new topics to do research on is always a plus, too.
What's the worst part of your life right now?
Probably being stuck in that Culinary Arts class... And having to deal with Zapdos making a racket whenever he wants...
Do you have or want children?
Not really.
If/when you ever have children, what is one thing you absolutely want to teach them?
I'd probably teach the importance of the environment for wild Pokemon, so they won't go catching them left and right only to stick them into PCs. Pokemon thrives the best in the environment they're brought up in!
What was the worst advice your father ever gave you? The best?
Hmm...the best advice is mostly about research techniques, of how to observe wild Pokemon in their natural habitat. The worst... It might be when he forgot to tell me that wild Pokemon would attack humans. It's also his bad habit too, to rush off and then get attacked by a Zigzagoon. [sigh]
When did you feel you'd finally 'come of age?'
Maybe when I finally gave up on trying to be a champion. I mean, I've always helped out my dad with his research and I thought I was better at that than battling, but there was always a small part of me who still wanted to become the champion I dreamed as a tiny kid. I think for any kid with Pokemon, they'd want to get into that Hall of Fame, right?
How do you feel about sex?
[OH BOY AWKWARD. He just looks away haha.]
Describe your ideal significant other.
I guess someone who'd be interested in research, too? I haven't thought about it, actually... [Blushing, haha. He's scratching the back of his head.]
How do you deal with depression, stress or sadness?
I bury myself into books and research. Taking my mind off of it helps a lot. Biking helps too. Having a nice breeze blow at your face while you're out watching the sunrise is nice too.
How do you think of yourself?
I'm pretty cool, I guess, haha.
How do your friends think of you?
I'm not sure, actually. I've never bothered to ask. I don't care for the specifics, but I'm sure they think well of me... Otherwise they would be friends with me, right?
How do your enemies think of you?
They think I'm lame. I'm not, geez!
Who is your biggest role model?
Professor Oak. Becoming a Pokemon Professor like him is my dream!
what is your biggest accomplishment to date?
I filled up the entire Pokedex for my dad! ...Well minus the Legendaries... Back then, I didn't even believe that they actually existed...
What has been your most humbling experience to date?
It's definitely when May became champion. She worked so hard to train her Pokemon, and that worked paid off for her. As a trainer who watched her from the very beginning, she grew so much. Honestly, I didn't expect it to happen. That moment was when I felt really small, haha...
What will it take for you to die happy?
I'm not sure...maybe meeting Professor Oak and getting my research approved by him!
What would you rather be doing right now?
I'd rather be sorting out my research notes!
