History: Striga spent most of her life avoiding The Kimono Dance Theater, where her sister took her own lessons on being graceful. Instead she could be find exploring Bell Tower - and once found, she was forcefully removed from the place. As a young and innocent-looking girl she has been presented with Flaaffy - a little fiend passed down from her sibling. From that day she decided to become a Pokemon trainer and complete a team, that would make that snoby guy next door Morty envious. Once she reached her teens, Striga packed her belongings and under cover of darkness left the city with a single note left behind. She decided to head out to Goldenrod and make her dream of being worthy of freely entering Bell Tower come true. She was alone in the big city though, but still sneaky and stealthy enough to find her place in Game Corner and the Underground, where she made many useful acquaintances. That didn't do her any good unfortunately and quite often she found herself being chased down the many streets by police for either shoplifting or breaking into Radio Tower (she just wanted to talk to Mary - Striga was her biggest fan!)
One fateful day she gambled against a Mysterious guy and won. But instead of being rewarded with coins or points, he handed her a Mysterious letter, that was worth much, much more...

Additional Information: very often she has problems with telling apart right from wrong; she will do anything to achieve her goals; once she received het letter, she took a train, where she met a girl from Department Store, from whom she had stolen (it was Flaaffy, really. But you accuse the trainer) some candy. They're best
buddies now.

Pokémon

Name: Flaaffy
Nickname: Macabra
Gender: male
Nature: naughty

Attacks: Frustration, Thunder, Protect, Rock Smash
Ability: static

History: Macabra used to belong to Striga's sister. Now that he travels with her, she uses every opportunity to trade him for better Pokemon. He's a stubborn little guy and loves annoying his trainer or getting her into trouble. Rarely does he listen to her commands, but he's still very protective of her. He picks on other people
and Pokemon too. Though, in less affectionate way.



Name: Murkrow
Nickname: Mortimer
Gender: male
Nature: careful

Attacks: Fly, Thief, Perish Song, Drill Peck
Ability: insomnia

History: Mortimer used to belong to another trainer. That was until he was stolen by Team Rocket. And then he was stolen by Striga - and she does not let him wander off at all, so for now he stays with her. Mortimer loves shiny objects and often picks them up - it doesn't matter if it's just a piece of glass or some rich lady's
diamond ring. Both are pretty neat. At first he did not trust Striga, but she bribed him with good food and now they are the best partners in crime that could be found around Johto.

Name: John Doe
Nickname: Hypno
Gender: male
Nature: impish

Attacks: Hypnosis, Nightmare, Dream Eater, Psychic
Ability: forewarn

History: John Doe was the first Pokemon Striga caught on her own (literally on her own; her Flaaffy decided to be useless). She doesn't know why she decided to keep him, but his eyes were so hypnotizing, she could not resist! Now she uses him to scare nosy children and for some other illegal stuff. She can't believe nobody kicked her out from the Game Corner yet!


Name: Houndoom
Nickname: Claus
Gender: male
Nature: quirky

Attacks: Strength, Crunch, Inferno, Toxic
Ability: early bird

History: This great little dude was left by his trainer at Day Care Center and he actually never showed up to pick him up! How could that be? Claus is really friendly. He wants to befriend every Pokemon. He's very clingy. And he wreaks havoc everywhere. He just needed a little loving. But it was hard to keep him out of trouble at the DCC. But he caught Striga's eye when she was working there (she had nowhere to stay, so she traded her hard work for a warm bed) and upon leaving Goldenrod, she took him with her. Claus is not the brightest crayon in the box, but he brightens everyone's day.


Name: Misdreavus
Nickname: Lady Macbeth
Gender: female
Nature: jolly

Attacks: Ominous Wind, Destiny Bond, Payback, Screech
Ability: levitate

History: Since Morty had so many ghost Pokemons, Striga wanted to prove herself by catching one, too! But she had to be a little more original than the Ecruteak leader. She traveled to many scary places and visited many graveyards to find a perfect ghost. But finding one and deciding to take on it before she fled wasn't an
easy task. After many failed attempts she managed to catch one! Lady Macbeth is the only girl in her team. She's a vary vain and self-centered ghost - certainly not good-natured one. But Morty patted Striga on her back once he saw her and the girl couldn't be more proud. And Morty's Gengar seems to be really fond of the little Midreavus.


Name: Wailord
Nickname: Pear
Gender: male
Nature: mild

Attacks: Surf, Heavy Slam, Ice Beam, Mist
Ability: oblivious

History: During one of Striga's journeys with her old companion, the duo had to get across the ocean. They stopped in the middle on an island, which could not be found on their maps. It was a good place for a short rest and soon they settled down. At first they did not notice their location was slowly changing, but a loud strange noise emitting from below the ground quickly gained their attention. Panic-striken Macabra decided to react and sent out a strong thunder attack towards the island-like creature (and the ocean, and her trainer) that happened to be a wild Wailord. The whale became paralyzed and started to disappear under the water. Since everyone was drowning anyway, Striga decided to catch the beast and use her as a transport later on. But bonding with such a Pokemon is quite difficult and usually Pear chooses the longest way possible to reach the destination his trainer chose.
