Hey guys, I'm Ryuutakeshi. I'm one of the moderators for the Black and White section of Bulbagarden forums and I am not in any way evil. At all. No sir.

I am a 17 year old college student from Washington State and have been a fan of Pokemon from the age of 5. My first experience with Pokemon was with the anime. I saw a clip of Ash's battle with Brock. Naturally, I was very angry when my Pikachu did jack against Onix in the games.

My hobbies include Acting, which I hope to be a professional in some day, martial arts, forensics, and skiing. I also love to read, and I have a mediocre artistic talent.

I am also the author of Son of Earth, a fanfic telling the story of HGSS from the view of Silver.

Anyways, so this is my page. Please feel free to talk to me on the forums, I may just be able to sit down and talk with you. Not guaranteed sadly as I may be in the middle of something mod related, a battle/trade, or I'm just popping in and then leaving to go do something else in Real Life. Yes, despite my insane post count, I do have a life.


Signature Team

           

Their names are, in order, Kimber, Corin, Emperor, Jason, Chloe, and Victor

These are the pokemon you will fight if you choose to battle me. (Note: Subject to change upon release of Generation V)

Their stories are rather interesting and I feel I may as well list them.


Kimber

Kimber is named after Kimber Boh from the novel The Wishsong of Shannara. Not only do I like the book, I also liked the name and felt it appropriate for my Spirit of the Desert. I actually liked the Desert in RSE. The one in DPPt was somewhat of a disappointment as the ground looked more like an ashflow. Also it wasn't a full desert. But I digress. Kimber is from Hoenn's Desert and was the first dragon type I ever trained. I didn't even realize she existed until I fought Drake in Emerald. But when I did, she became my favorite dragon. Kimber is the tough, no nonsense member of the group, acting as a sort of Team Mom. Her mate is Jason.

Her moves are: Dragon Claw, Fly, Earthquake, Crunch.


Corin

The story behind my Lucario is a really odd one. Before Bulbagarden, I was a clan leader on Brawl Central forums, which sadly no longer exists. The clan page can still be seen here. Anyways, I would have led the Mewtwo Clan had he returned, but sadly that was not the case. No, as it turned out, Mewtwo was replaced by Gen IV newcomer Lucario. I hated Lucario for this. Refused to use him. So what changed? Well, overtime I began to realize just how good Lucario is. And so I decided to try him out. He's been with me ever since (he replaced Keith the Tyranitar). His nickname is actually similar to the name of my brother's Lucario, Coran. They're rivals. He's the assistant leader of the group and his best friend is Jason. You might even call them Bash Brothers.

His moves are: Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Psychic.


Emperor

The name is obvious. King. Emperor. Not that hard to figure out. I trained a Nidoking in Generation III in honor of my favorite Gym Leader, Giovanni. I personally thought Nidoking was unfairly unloved. He's got a unique typing (sorta) and a great movepool. Also, he's purple. I like purple. He's the oldest of the group and the wisest.

His moves are: Stealth Rock, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Earth Power.


Jason

Jason was originally not named. He was just a Scizor I had always wanted from Gen II but could never get until Gen IV. I named him in honor of Jason Voorhees, because Aquablade11 from Youtube has a Scizor named Freddy Kreuger. You can laugh. Please do. Anyways, I always liked the Scyther line and always loved the fact that Scizor is only weak to fire. He manged to solo Lance for me once. He's the leader of the group and his best friend is Corin. You might even call them Bash Brothers. His mate is Kimber.

His moves are: Bullet Punch, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, Night Slash


Chloe

I have no idea why, but when I first saw Espeon I thought it should be named Chloe. Don't ask why, I really don't know. I actually was always an Umbreon fan and tried painstakingly hard to get one in Gen II. Sadly, I got Espeon. However, I quickly learned that I liked Espeon and so decided to keep using her. She's now my favorite Eeveelution. Also, she's purple. She's the calm, intelligent one of the group. She's in love with Victor.

Her moves are: Psychic, Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, Calm Mind


Victor

I'm surprised no one has gotten the name reference yet. Victor the Houndoom. Victor Houndoom. Victor von Doom. Yeah, I'm a nerd. Live with it. Anyways, I named Victor (and his counterpart Reed the Gyarados) after the characters from the Fantastic 4 after I saw the movie. The good one, not that really stupid one you can only see online. I just like the pun of it. So Houndoom has been a personal favorite since Archer showed me his in Silver. I had no idea what it was or how to get it, but it was awesome and I wanted it. Then Karen had one that slaughtered me repeatedly. I really wanted one then. So I got one once I accidentally ran across a Houndour outside Saffron. Victor has remained my #1 fire type since, mostly for the unique typing and awesome name. He's the hotheaded, rash member of the group. He's in love with Chloe.

His moves are: Flamethrower, Dark Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Nasty Plot.
