Name: Rai
Species: Lugia
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Height: 15'6"
Weight: 448.3 lbs
Date of Birth: Unknown
Theme Song:
(If you didn't see that coming...)
Distinguishing Markings: Rai has an odd, collar-like marking near the base of her neck that can be seen in her appearance picture. It consists of strange signs with circles between them (This isn't natural, it's a marking she let Zeke put on her when he became a Gym Leader). Her spikes, flaps, and underbelly, rather than being various shades of blue, are all an almost pitch-black, rather than the normal blue, or bluish black.
Appearance:
Rai with Zeke
Location: The Twin Isles, usually around Sterling City
Level: Lv69
RP Sample: The grass blew gently in the wind sweeping through Sterling city, waving back and forth in the pleasant breeze. Stretched out in the grass, with her wings folded against her, Rai savored the breeze. City residents walked past the small meadow she was laying in without so much as a funny look. She'd been here as long as that new Gym Leader, she wasn't rare to see around anymore. She occasionally stirred, shifting to a more comfortable position, or moving a few feet this way or that, but for the most part, she sat in the meadow savoring the sweet-smelling wind as it breezed by. Someone took a step onto the grass as she lay out, and she looked over curiously at the new arrival. It was Zeke, holding that little flute thing that made the noise she liked so much. She crooned happily at him, and sent, via telepathy, a wave of happiness at him. She hadn't seen him since she'd gone flying a few hours ago. Getting up, she walked over to him, putting her head down near him. She chirruped as he scratched her head, just above her eyes. When he stopped, she looked at him for a brief moment, then licked him from head to foot. He laughed, and wiped some saliva off his face.
"It's good to see you too, Rai."
She tried to send words with her telepathy, but all that made it across was, "Happy... Zeke... here..."
She wasn't very good at using Telepathy for speech yet. She'd only managed to learn a few simple words and Zeke's name since they'd met. Looking awkward, she looked back at Zeke, and he laughed again.
"You'll figure it out soon."
She licked his face again, and offered her neck again. Zeke clambered on, just past the mark he had duplicated from his arm to her neck, and she leapt, spreading her wings and taking off for no place in particular. As the wind rushed past her head, and Zeke held onto her neck with both arms (She had taken off rather suddenly...), she savored the freedom of the air and the weight of her friend on her back.
History: Rai and her trainer have a history that dates back to when they were both very young. They first met when she was 5, and Zeke was a newborn. Zeke's parents had taken him on a boating trip on their sailboat. They weren't very rich, but they enjoyed boating and fishing as much as anyone else. On this particular outing, however, the Maelstrom had gotten larger, and the water was much choppier further out. When a storm brewed, Zeke was lost in the confusion. Taking his first steps, he toddled to the rail of the ship, and a wave catapulted him over the side. Meanwhile, Rai and her parent were swimming near the Islands, and Rai saw the toddler hit the water. Swimming to him, she picked him up, and, breaching over the boat, dropped him into his mother's arms. Rai's mother saw that she had found who she belonged with, and left her offspring to meet the world above the waves. Rai followed him throughout his childhood, protecting him from the dangers of the Twin Isles when he strayed too far from safety. When she was almost eleven, and Zeke had just turned six, Zeke finally met the Pokemon responsible for saving his life on more than one occasion. They bonded instantly, and were inseparable from that day forward. She traveled with Zeke when he started traveling at the age of 12, battling the Twin Island Gym League, beating all eight gyms, but not pursuing the Elite Four. Neither of them had any interest in attempting to be champion and champion's partner. When Zeke was offered the position of Gym Leader, he accepted readily, and Rai stayed with him as his only Pokemon. Whenever Zeke was hanging out around town, and Rai was bored, she would fly away from the islands, exploring the ocean and Orange Islands. One day, she decided to venture further north, and she found the Whirl Islands. There, she met the first other Lugia she'd seen since she was five. She was significantly happier on her return trip than on her trip there. When they returned, Zeke noticed the change. Something odd remained, however, even in the days coming. A month later, Zeke was helping Rai lay her first egg. Now Zeke and Rai are waiting with anticipation to see what's going to emerge from the egg.
Personality: Rai is a very caring Pokemon, not being the type to cause frivolous harm. She only fights for Zeke in his gym because of his assurances that there's a quality PokeCenter across the street. Along with being peaceable, she is very young, and still curious and somewhat naive. She often gets herself in trouble trying to find things out about the world by herself. Zeke has, on more than one occasion, found her lost in Victory Road, trying to decide which way is out. She is also somewhat too trustworthy of people, and, without Zeke's guidance, can get in a lot of trouble with other trainers, and she has, on more than one occasion, found herself struggling to get out of a Pokeball.
Strengths: Rai is resistant to Fighting, Grass, and Psychic-type moves, as well as being immune to Ground type moves. Rai's greatest strength is here excellent defense. Lugia, as a species, has an extraordinarily high defense focus, and while speed and attack may be lower, Lugia ranks among the highest in defense stats. Being a legendary also gives the perk of being decently powerful regardless of how stats are distributed. She's decidedly not a lightweight when it comes to landing blows, be they physical or not.
Weaknesses: Rai is weak against Rock, Electric, Ghost, Ice, and Dark type moves. Rai, while being a Legendary Pokemon, is still young, and isn't quite as wise as you might expect a Legend to be. That being said, she doesn't always know what to do without Zeke's guidance, and if she finds herself away from him for any length of time, she can get lost, and, on occasion, outwitted.
Ability: Pressure: Pokemon use up twice as much energy upon use of an attack or move.
Attacks/Moves:
Name: Aeroblast
Type: Flying (Special)
Effect: A yellow light charges in Rai's mouth. Many beams of light emit from this energy ball, which then merge into a single, very powerful beam of energy capable of massive destruction.
Name: Fly
Type: Flying (Physical)
Effect: Rai flies high in the air, and then strikes the enemy from above with a devastating physical strike. This can be used outside battle to carry humans and other Pokemon places they couldn't reach by themselves.
Name: Extrasensory
Type: Psychic (Special)
Effect: Rai launches a devastating Psychic attack on the victim, causing them pain through their mind. The attack must be precisely aimed, or it will not work.
Name: Hydro Pump
Type: Water (Special)
Effect: Rai issues a large torrent of water from her mouth, to deluge the opponent.
Name: Whirlpool (Movie 2 Version)
Type: Water (Special)
Effect: NOTE: This is NOT the "grab" version of Whirlpool, this is the Cyclone version from Movie 2. This move depends on water. If there is a suitably large body of water present, Rai dives into the water, spins up a vortex, and brings it above water to form a cyclone-like vortex. If there isn't enough water present to pull it out of the water, the water is produced by Rai, and spun up abovewater.
Name: Dragon Rush
Type: Dragon (Physical)
Effect: The user rams the foe with great speed, the primary blow being a sort of headbutt. It has a decent chance of causing the target to flinch.
Name: Safeguard
Type: Normal (Status)
Effect: This move forms an ethereal barrier around the Pokemon shielding them from status problems such as poisoning, paralysis, and the like for five posts.
Hold Item: Sitrus Berry-A held item that restores a great amount of health if eaten by the Pokemon. It is tough, large, but smooth-tasting, moreso than the Oran Berry. This will not bring a Pokemon out of Fainted status, and will not heal fatal or severe wounds, only lacerations, bruises, and the occasional bleeding-out wound.
Poke Ball Type: Officially-PokeBall, but she's never seen in it. The top is modified to be a silver color, with a feather carved above the button.
