IPL Trainer - Jemilie

Name: Jemilie Varso
Age: Around early twenties
Height: 5’5”
Occupation: Mercenary for hire / Former IPL Judge

Formspring: [link]

Bio: Jemilie is an enigma of the Pokemon world. There are no documentations of her past involvements or achievements or of any special credit to this lavender blond’s accomplishments- only a simple bio of a girl from Hoenn who apparently left to make Pokemon training a living. Yet her eyes and her voice yields the strains of years of experience if one would be so intuitive to notice, with an aura of apathy overlaid in her desire to challenge the so-called ‘Best of the best’ on Challenger Island. Her view and philosophy of the world is not so black and white, as she often makes it a point to play the devil’s advocate against people and their decisions, and seems in as much the ultimate loner than her cheery personality would suggest in the presence of others.

Jemilie’s battling style is straightforward yet varied, to diversify against the vast possibilities of enemies her team is willing to accomplish. She holds a roster of various Pokemon that are often rotated around, yet always keeps the same strange eldritch black Blaziken with every setup, though this Pokemon sees none but the fiercest of battles and thus mostly remains rarely used. Her wanderlust keeps her from remaining committed in one place for so long, and can vanish for months at a time before suddenly reappearing. But no one knows where she disappears to…


CURRENT ROSTER

Garuda Ra – Blaziken ♂ (Pic Reference: [link])
Ability: Blaze – Fire Attacks rises in a pinch
Holding: Scope Lens
Bio: A Pokemon as mysterious as his owner, seen often alongside his trainer observing battles but rarely participating in them himself, although his muscular bulk and fierce appearance suggest a Pokemon that likes to dominate the battlefield with overbearing strength and power. Ra shares similarities with Jemilie in that it also tends to wander and inexplicably disappear without a trace on its own volition, questioning whether the trainer has any real control over the Pokemon if at all. There are rumors that he can also speak the human language somewhat, though no one but Jemilie can say for certain.
Battle Preference: Garuda Ra is a fierce fighter and wastes no time pummeling his opponent to the ground the moment a match starts, preferring speed and power for an early advantage. Even going all-out early, the Blaziken does know how to pace himself when dealing with tank-like opponents and waits for an opening and weak point he can home-in on, a feat aided greatly by his Scope Lens. The Pokemon never gives up, even on his last legs, learning how to turn weakness in a devastating last-ditch Reversal move to turn the tables
Preferred Attacks: Critical-hit moves (Blaze Kick, Slash, Night Slash), Reversal

Sköll Anubis – Riolu ♀ (Picture Reference: [link] )
Ability: Inner Focus – Prevents flinching
Holding: Muscle Band
Bio: A small Riolu that had appeared with Garuda Ra one day after another lengthy disappearance. Apparently a protégée of the Blaziken, who follows under his direction rather than Jemilie’s, she fights with similar viciousness but with a more patient, feminine preference. The glimmer her fur gives off flickers around her like fireflies, dancing almost with a life of its own, adding to the calming serenity the pup’s personality provides.
Battle Preference: Sköll Anubis battles almost in the same fashion as Garuda Ra, fast and hard-hitting, though the Riolu does possess a measure of defensive moves to keep stronger opponents at bay, still being a young Pokemon and not as enduring. Rather than rush to attack, she prefers to wait and sense the auras around her, to judge her best mode of approach to deal with her opponents.
Preferred Attacks: First-hit attacks (Quick Attack, Vacuum Wave, Bullet Punch), Double Team

Maku – Swampert ♂
Ability: Torrent – Water Attacks rises in a pinch
Holding: Leftovers
Bio: A hulking beast of a Pokemon that is as timid as a puppy, Maku is yet another of Jemilie’s old starter Pokemon whom she raised alongside with Ra, and thus remains being one of the only Pokemon the Blaziken can truly tolerate and work with. Unlike the rest of the team, the Swampert remains loyal to Jemilie and prefers to stay around the trainer, enjoying the undivided attention. Maku doesn’t enjoy battling as much, sometimes taking an incredible amount of effort to face an imposing opponent, but the desire to protect his trainer (as he oftentimes finds himself to be the only Pokemon who can) often melts away his inhibitions, revealing a far more dangerous opponent that rivals even Ra’s destructive power.
Battle Preference: Maku is defensive by nature and plays it safe by keeping enemies at bay with his mud attacks usually designed to hinder accuracy and speed. In more intense battles, Maku slows down and concentrates his aura to dish out tremendous damage at a time.
Preferred Attacks: Water moves with secondary effects (Muddy Water, Mud Bomb), Defensive (Protect, Wide Guard), Curse
