He’s only lucky that his Pokemon stay with him by choice, but when he’s by himself, he feels deserving of the seclusion, and vulnerable because of his regrets of what brought him to such a stage of his life. Senseless Violence ~ Xenneth doesn’t like to fight, nor does he like to be involved in lots of fights.

Fighting ~ Xenneth does not like fighting, especially getting involved. Even though he has great strength and knowledge that he uses with his Pokemon, he suppresses it by not allowing them to get involved in fights unless it’s absolutely necessary. He keeps his problems to himself, and doesn’t involve his Pokemon unless they wish with their very own wills. Destruction ~ The destruction of one’s spirit, will, or body isn’t something Xenneth aims for. In other words, he doesn’t like “death” in a sense and literal. To avoid this, Xenneth usually is distant from such events like public funerals or the possibility of low surviving rate type of involvements. He is closed off to such risks that involves his Pokemon, and usually does this by his lonesome self. One alternative is usually doing things with his own hands or aiming to simply stun and not kill. Past ~ Xenneth dislikes many aspects of his past; mainly his weaknesses. His connections to his family he has shamed, his tutor which he has not been able to express his love to, and his involvement in Team Rocket makes him feel like they are three strikes of a weakness of his heart. This makes him not want to take risks or get involved in his life more than beyond the tranquil paradise that is “Orchid Inn.” HISTORY: Xenneth, like most trainers, begun his journey at age ten. Before that however, he always wanted to be a Pokemon trainer as he counted down the days when it hit his eighth birthday. His Auntie Chezza would usually demonstrate her Pokemon Training “Prowess” to him as she seemed to harbor a deep love for Pokemon of the Grass-Type and being a trainer in a distant land that skyscraper to make goliath like cities and street like terrain. This made her visits rare, and when she did come and pose and play with Xenneth along with her Ivysaur, it made him want to become just like her, but except settling for a Gym Leader after her journey, he wanted to be like the other trainers who went to the endless quest of becoming a Pokemon Master. By the time he had turned ten, Xenneth had begun his quest as a trainer. Being born in Celadon City within Kanto, he had thus been dropped off in Pallet Town where he begun his journey and selected the beginning Pokemon that was Bulbasaur, the standard grass type Pokemon for Kanto trainers. Beginning his quest, he had set out to battle as a trainer freely, but his ignition as a trainer has posed a problem: Xenneth was “very” weak. His first gym battle met with a failure, even though he had the elemental advantage. After his third failed attempt, he simply realized that he did not have the “will” for Pokemon Battles, and without it, he would not make a very good trainer. Realizing this, Xenneth had fallen into a deep despair upon his first year of being a trainer, and afterwards was too ashamed to return home so soon, and was just as ashamed to continue and only be met with defeat within his journey as he missed his opportunity to participate in the Pokemon League, and had so few badges. It was because of this that he wandered aimlessly through the Kanto Region site seeing while in despair with his Bulbasaur, but eventually had met with the fate of find his answer. Sitting upon Cerulean pier, Xenneth had come into contact with a beautiful young woman. The most notable features was the large sun hat she had wore along with a sky blue dress that blew in the wind. Constantly shying away each time she turned to acknowledge his wandering eyes, she had eventually made contact with him giving a “Hello.” Of course, as shy as he is, Xenneth tried to not acknowledge it and even apologized and make an excuse, but she was persistent, even noticing his Bulbasaur who she had credited as “Filled with Potential just like its trainer.” Xenneth was soft, easily charmed by her words, so it was from then he spent the rest of the day with the teenage woman, Lily, as she nestled Bulbasuar in her lap while talking to Xenneth who reiterated every detail about his depressed year of failure. After the evening was over, Xenneth had sat with Lily during the sunset. Staring out from the pier with her, he found his joy of Pokemon Battling rekindled only slightly, but this time wanting to become stronger. He had decided that since Lily was a trainer, very much like him, he wanted to ask to travel with her, but before he could, he had heard a Cell Phone call come through on her phone, and after awaiting her to give short replies and conformation, she had simply stated that she had to get back to “work.” Curious to what “work” was, he asked, but only simply gotten his response cut short to see a Helicopter fly over and land in the distance at the end of a pier with its side embalmed with a large “R.” Lily who had looked down to Xenneth, she had simply stretched her hand to him and begged him to come with her as she wanted to see him become stronger. It had been his first day since being recruited into the organization of thugs, and Xenneth was left into basic training. Of course, he was hesitant at first, buy Lily promised that she would hold his hand as long as she could before he would be let go. She was assigned to be his mentor, and was very kind to him no matter what. Through this kindness, she had pushed him knowing for a fact that it was his openness and fondness for her that pushed him so hard to do better. Over time, Lily had made it a routine to train Xenneth to the point that not only had he become stronger, but his become as well as he had even gained a will to battle, but on the condition it was to make Lily proud. Over time, Xenneth had been forced into missions for Team Rocket. With Lily being his mentor, they were usually paired together as she had a habit of using her grass and psychic type Pokemon in tandem with Xenneth’s grass and water type Pokmone that he usually juggled around. (Water types he caught because he usually adored them and he caught what was suggested by Lily.) As he moved up in the ranks with Lily eventually becoming an executive thus slightly distancing them from each other because of the time they got to spend together, they met up with what little time they had as they talked about their days and even joked around a little. Xenneth had become an official grunt At the age of thirteen to the point where he had to stand on his own two feet. His calls to his family were nothing more than lies, and his time with Lily seemed to take value more so over than that of his family seeming to be his escape away from guilt, and as the newbie, he was very much taken advantage of by fellow executives that were on Liliy’s Rank. If anything, they saw Xenneth as their “play thing” seeing he was unique out of the rest seeing he did not have reasons of his own for joining Team Rocket, but rather solely to grow stronger with Lily. Taking advantage of this, Agents Viper and Alice of the Executive continuously attempted to form a “sadistic” bond with him. With Viper trying to entice him, even though Xenneth was oblivious to her charm, and Alice who wanted a strange type of “Lover’s Suicide” as she proclaimed, it was obvious to Lily they were trying to use him as a “puppet” as by Viper and an “Escape” as by Alice who befriended him falsely, but on both accounts, Lily had saved him showing aggression towards the two and threatening if they would bring any harm to Xenneth, they would hurt him. Taking on more missions to prove to himself and to not be dependant upon the Liliy and show that he was accustom to his new life style, Xenneth had become more “outgoing” even though dangerous and often in over his head. Eventually, he had even taken on a mission that involved the pursuit of the Legendary Pokemon, Zapdos. He was only fortunate to be saved by Lily who learned of his foolish risk upon taking the mission and saved him from certain death after taking a direct “Thunder” and falling into the a river. Xenneth had been unconscious for nearly a month. Lily the whole time had come back upon her returns from any of her assignments with her legs crossed and reading a novel awaiting for his awake was patient. Upon him awakening and seeing her on the side of his bed, he had been silent as she read. Lily had been noticed Xenneth and noted to him that she too had been hesitant about being in Team Rocket and participated in careless missions with little probability of not only success, but chances of living. Noting that she did not know what he missed in his old life that made him act out in such way, she had only advised that he find a way to cope with it before it destroys him like it almost did last time. Lily had left silently not able to hear Xenneth’s appreciative “Thank You,” but she knew he would take the words to heart seeing they were close beyond that of their relationship of Mentor and Student. At age fourteen, Xenneth had an offer to change his rank. Upon doing background search of Xenneth’s profile, the higher ups had thus discovered Xenneth’s family had a famous Flower Shop in the Unity Region where his Auntie Chezza had studied herbal plants. They mission was simply to convince Chezza to join Team Rocket or take her research notes for the R&D Division for Team Rocket. The notes were valuable because of the research harnessed around Grass Pokemon to manipulate the five senses. It would thus prove valuable to their research which tempted them greatly. Xenneth had obliged to take the mission realizing if he did not, someone else would and meet it with hostility. Being assigned a second teammate to accompany him, Xenneth was unsure about the certain grunt, but Lily had stepped in during the debriefing (fully aware of the mission) and offered her own services to be Xenneth’s teammate greatly insisting that two familiars would be better than a stranger to accompany Xenneth which would give the wrong idea. A lying implication that she had made contact with Chezza, when she did not, but Lily knew Xenneth was a soft touch and would not want anything to escalate from the meeting with a harsher grunt. It was decided that Executive Lily and Operative Xenneth would be the ones to carry out the task. The Mission would last for on month to convince Chezza Hikari. Xenneth had visited Chezza saying he had been so busy with his journey that he forgot to contact his family as a lie after being asked by his Auntie why he had not talked to anyone for a while, and Lily who had accompanied him had assumed the faux identity as a “Mature Girlfriend” seeing she was way above Xenneth’s age. Chezza had bought the story giving Xenneth the benefit of the doubt, but that’s only how it seemed on the surface. Xenneth had delayed his offer and the truth to Chezza for a good week, enough time so that himself and Lily would talk things over until he worked up the courage to ask Chezza to join them. However, it was also Lily who had seemed to have hesitant feelings to ask as well but not only was she afraid of losing Xenneth to the ordeal. Upon Xenneth’s fourth visit upon the week while staying in the region, he had spoke to Chezza finally having the courage to offer her to join Team Rocket as a scientist with her research. Chezza did not seem surprised as she had even told Xenneth that she was aware of his movements in Team Rocket because as a Gym Leader, she would be called to duty to dispatch of Team Rocket Members. Xenneth had never known about Chezza’s role as an official, but Lily seemed more than aware of it as she stepped forth to defend Xenneth and deciding to carry out the mission by force. At that moment…Chezza and Lily had begun to do battle. Xenneth had stood upon the sideline watching Lily’s Sceptile battle against Chezza’s Ivysuar. Exchanging heated blow for blows, Xenneth had watched the two Pokemon battle until he had finally grew tired of seeing his family member that was like a best friend and Lily who was similar in closeness to him fight, and demanded them to stop as he simply asked Chezza what would her choice be. Chezza stood by her decision, as did Lily say that she would not fail the mission, so Xenneth had requested of Lily deeply that for his one and only wish that Lily failed this mission for him. Lily replied obliged fulfilling the wish just for once, and thus departed leaving him to tend to Chezza. Chezza had insisted she would not tell Xenneth’s secret to the rest of the family, but she did say dearly that he would have to face them sometime like she did face her, and before then, she hoped that he would find his “true” self before he found his way back to them. Xenneth misunderstood, in denial, he had insisted that Team Rocket was his life and departed with Lily into the night and returned to Team Rocket Headquarters insisting that their mission was a failure. Lily and Xenneth avoid speaking to each other for the next few weeks. It had been months since the incident with his Auntie Chezza and Xenneth had been promoted regardless of the result making up for his failure with more “advanced“ missions. Eventually, he had become an executive much like his mentor, and slowly approaching was his birthday. Himself and Lily and patched things up to some degree understanding each other, but Lily had been struggling with the ordeal of meeting Xenneth four years ago as she had decided that she should buy him a Birthday Present, but without noticing, she had been conflicted with another feeling she had those years ago. Upon Xenneth finishing a mission to scout the movements of “Ho-oh,” he was used by Team Rocket as the bird only appeared during a “Certain“ occasion and to a “Certain“ type of trainer. Sensing Xenneth was this trainer, they had used him to confirm the myth of the bird appearing to pure hearted trainers when equipped with one of his “Rainbow Feathers“ of the legendary Pokemon. Not only was the myth thus proven true, but found that Xenneth could come into contact with Ho-oh if he wished by journeying to the top of the Tin Tower in Johto. Ignorant of their purpose, he had accepted the mission with the idea of it beaing another scouting mission keeping it secret from the trainer. They kept the hunch of Xenneth was as “pure hearted“ than they thought, then he would truly turn on them since Ho-oh‘s presence was often a sign of virtue, wisdom, and purity to some. It did not even take the presence of Ho-oh to make Xenneth change his mind. Upon entering the Tin Tower and battling the Monks who thus defended it from Team Rocket members as well as Xenneth who commanded them, he had found himself being briefed by one the nearly unconscious monks after beckoning for his team to continue forth up the tower after hearing Ho-oh land atop of it. The Monks explained to Xenneth that the reason the Legendary Pokemon was there was not because of some lure of the Rainbow Feather, but the heart that held the feather, the one of Xenneth‘s that called the Bird Pokemon there. Xenneth realizing that this meant something and catching on that the reason he led this mission was not because of leadership, but because of his traits, he figured out that he was being used. Realizing this, he had decided to sabotage the mission. Ambusing his own grunts secretly by luring them into a trap using Hypnosis by his Mismagius, Xenneth had not only stopped the Rocket Grunts, but made it so they would not remember the mission. Continuing up the tower, he had found Ho-oh who was restrained by a single grunt, but revealed that it was a guised executive, Lily. Lily was not disappointed to find Xenneth had sabotaged the mission, nor was she surprised that he had figured everything out. She actually wanted him to know, but she could not tell him herself to raise suspicion seeing that the Team Rocket Superiors would accuse her of treason. Now met with Xenneth alone and with Ho-oh restrained by fire proof cords, she had thus challenged Xenneth to a battle, the terms being she would bring him in for treason if he would lose, and herself taken the burden of failure if she would lose. The roof became wet as a storm raged for the battle. Battling, Xenneth had not only faired well against Lily, but in the end lost. However, she did not turn him in as she had tore loose the bindings of Ho-oh and shooed it away watching it form a Rainbow after the parting storm. With the mission thus being reported as a failure by Lily herself upon the tower at five thirty four in the morning by communication system, Lily was branded a traitor and was demanded to be “dealt with” on sight as an immediate command, but Xenneth had let her go as he watched her stare to the rainbow admitting that four years ago, prior to meeting Xenneth that she was actually hesitant that day about being in Team Rocket until he came along. Stating that she “Quit” as of now and knew what she wanted to do. Parachuting from the rooftop, after bidding Xenneth a Happy Birthday, of Tin Tower evading police while Xenneth and the grunts had thus escaped. Xenneth had realized that Lily’s gift that day was him realizing why he was in Team Rocket, and thus him opening his mind to his path of finding his “true self” as a Pokemon Trainer. Fifteen and now applied as a Team Rocket Elite, Xenneth had taken the intended spot of Lily who was blamed for sabotaging the missions as well as being the obstruction to manipulate Xenneth because of her always being near him. With their plan for the Rainbow Feather and taking Ho-oh lost, they had thus decided to move onto bigger plans, that being to take the Kanto Region‘s territory away from the officials because of the cloned Legendary Pokemon rumored of living in the region. It was thought impossible, but R&D Division had developed a massive assault ship that would be powered by captured electric Pokemon. Xenneth had been surprised realizing why they wanted Zapdos, but settled for less with snatching other electric lesser Electric Pokemon, but with Lily gone and his vision realizing what he was doing was not in his best interest, he decided to set up an operation with his Pokemon, his last operation amongst Team Rocket. His Pokemon being prepared and himself late for the meeting as the battle ship, Thunder Dreadnought launching into the sky from the sea, the moment it had thus launched and parted from the Ocean and headed for Kanto‘s land, Xenneth had begun the operation with each of his Pokemon stationed in different places of the ship and himself along side his long trusted Ivysaur commence their advancement through the ship intended to destroy the topside area as well as fend off the trainers. With a Butterfree sprinkling Stun Spore upon the deck while he proceeded to the cockpit, and a powerful Mismagius hypnotizing the electric Pokemon to discharge the ship to overload, they had thus begun to single handedly destroy Thunder Dreadnought slowly. Upon confronting his fellow Elites, Xenneth had one simple goal, and it was to hold them off until the ship went down, even if it would be with him on it. With support from Butterfree and a fortunate assist from a Zapdos that had been attracted to the electrical disturbance by the discharging ship, Xenneth was able to hold them off while Dreadnought had sunk into the Ocean with him on it. Even when losing conciousness, he had convinced himself that he had indeed won. It had been mysterious to exactly what saved him, but he could recall Lily in a bathing suit for some reason and her prized Mantine, but he was not sure. With his hand going to his side to realize his Pokeballs were empty, all except one, and his eyes searching across the shore, he had remembered that he had completed his mission. The proof was the floating plate remain of the battle ship‘s insignia “R“ that had a wet print along it that most likely was his own. He assumed he drifted to sea on the plate at best doubting he was really saved by Lily who had left him. Taking his last two poke balls that were upon his belt that was Mismagius‘s and ButterFree‘s, he had smashed them to disclaim the Pokemon seeing he wanted to start anew and did not want to drag the Pokemon through the suffering. It had been two months since Xenneth’s incident. His mind was fresh with himself scrapping up from Johto’s shores after the destruction of the battleship. After his crimes, he knew he could not return home, so therefore, he had set his sights on trying to start a new life with Ivysaur as he spent time in Goldenrod City where he had thus felt himself content with living life in an apartment while finding jobs in the large city. Eventually, he had gotten into the flux of working around the city and being friendly with the locals. It was one day that when he checked for mail that he actually had an anonymous letter only to open it and find that it was signed from Lily with a message simply saying: ~“The Path ends with sorrow, and begins with Forgiveness. That Ending is at Turnback Cave, and from there, the beginning is up to you…” Xenneth was confused about the message, but the words “Turnback Cave” were familiar. With his eyes going to the post card and the shadowed image of monstrous upon it, he was afraid that it was a trap, but took upon it as a chance to once again see Lily. Arriving months later at Turnback Cave in Sinnoh, Xenneth had entered Turnback Cave with no Pokemon other than Ivysaur. He had traveled endlessly into the cave, eventually he came to the end where he had thus found within the parting mist Giratina awaiting in its wake. Remembering Giratina’s origins, he knew that it would act aggressive if Xenneth’s heart was not pure, and even though it was, Xenneth had been attacked confusing him, but he had little time to dwell upon it defending himself. Xenneth and Ivysaur had concentrated upon defending and evading Giratina to the best of his efforts. Not wanting to fight the Pokemon seeing he felt that he changed, he had only focused on trying to convince it, but mostly with excuses and beckoning it that it was not his fault. Feeling his raging pain and doubt within him, Ivysaur had wanted to buy time Xenneth to realize what he was saying, and because of that, he evolved with all his might into Venusaur increasing its strength and vitality to hold off Giratina with his new technique, “Frenzy Plant.” Xenneth had reflected and tried to battle along side Venusaur in order to prevent themselves from being done in by Giratina. However, after thinking about everything, he had realized that it indeed it was because he did not speak with his own voice or making his own choices. With all his breath before Giratina landed its attack upon him and an exhausted Ivysaur, he cried out that he was “Truly, sorry!” With that, the Giratina had held off upon its attack only to pull back and reveal itself as a transformed version of “Mew.” Xenneth had realized that it was not a Wild Giratina, but simply Mew in its place visiting the cave and waiting for Xenneth most likely for Lily’s favor to make him undergo his final chance. Realizing this, Xenneth was happy he understood and his soundest apology had reached Mew as well as the fallen Pokemon from the graveyard that reached to the “other side” from the area they stood. Turning to Venusair, Xenneth had watched as the grass-type Pokemon had too began to fade. Venusaur was too weak from the battle, and was completely exhausted from exerting so much strength from protecting Xenneth. It was til this end, Xenneth realized Venusaur was going to die in the graveyard, and before he would, Xenneth thanked him and given him a tear filled appreciation for staying by his side all the time. Asking for mew to take care of him, Xenneth had felt no regret as Mew responding with a nod as it flew around him happily With the small pink Pokemon circling Xenneth and giving him a blessed smile and touch upon his nose, the Pokemon had thus teleported him from Turnback Cave only to have him sit before the sight of which was Celadon City where he thus began. A last test to start over…the last plead for forgiveness. Hesitant as ever, he knew he had not seen his family for six years and a few months. He had done many horrible crimes and his face upon the black list for the region. Not only that, but he had been lying all this time and he stood before his door feeling like a complete stranger. His right hand reaching out to the door as he given the knob twist, he had only met face to face with the young thirteen year old girl that he barely recognized as his sister who looked at him puzzled before identifying. His mother appearing before him as she walked to the door, they were silent before they all embraced Xenneth warmly, happy that he was home and him making sound promises that he would repent for everything he had done. Now, Xenneth restarts his journey, but this time to specialize in the ways of Grass-Pokemon, gentle, but lethal, just like his distant mentor, Lily. The Pokemon World seems to be vast and takes Xenneth to a journey overseas filled with more danger, and an opportune moment for Xenneth to set things right as he embarks to repent for what he done by doing what he can, and this meant (at the very least) helping build a safe haven for trainers and protecting the world from evil. | [atrb=width,225px,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style, width:185; padding-left: 2px;] POKEMON PARTY  SPECIES: Grovyle NICKNAME: Princess GENDER: Female NATURE: Sassy MOVES: Leaf Blade | Detect | X-Scissor | Quick Attack  SPECIES: Raichu NICKNAME: ----- GENDER: Male NATURE: Naughty MOVES: Thunder | Rain Dance | Grass Knot | Dig  SPECIES: Bulbasaur NICKNAME: ----- GENDER: Male NATURE: Timid MOVES: Leech Seed | Poison Powder | Sleep Powder | Vine Whip  SPECIES: Kangaskhan NICKNAME: Ms. Kangaskhan GENDER: Female NATURE: Hardy MOVES: Strength | Outrage | Solar Beam | Circle Throw  SPECIES: Tropius NICKNAME: ------ GENDER: Male NATURE: Hasty MOVES: Fly | Razor Leaf | Silver Wind | Body Slam  SPECIES: Ponyta NICKNAME: Sapphire GENDER: Female NATURE: Naive MOVES: Flame Wheel | Sunny Day | Agility | Solar Beam PC STORAGE     |
