Aku is a very fiery young man, he has a lot of ambition and spirit and it tends to blind his sense of reason. .

He’s extremely confrontational, to the point it’s almost comedic. He’s very assertive and stubborn, it’s really hard to change his mind and he has trouble understanding when people take a different view point to things. Despite seeming unpleasant at first, he’s more then capable of liking other people and trying to bite his own tongue for their sake. He is also very very easily flustered by any display of affection, wether or not it’s inherently romantic.

Early Life

Aku was born in Paniola to two young parents with some dreams of making it big and moving out of their small town and to one of the cities. Neither of his parents were trainers but they had a couple pokemon that Aku grew up alongside. However, as Aku grew the weight of not meeting their goals and financial troubles began to bare down on his parents harshly and drive them aaprt. They stayed together, but Aku became fairly neglected and had to learn to take care of himself much sooner than he otherwise would have.

Adolescence

As a teen life under his parent's roof only seemed to become harder and harder day by day. It felt more like living with landlords then family, and this drove Aku to try an pursue something he could do in his free time. With some convincing and a part time job, he got his started pokemon which he named Toast. Overtime he accumulated a few more pokemon, notably Krispy the galarian zigzagoon and Fly the deino. He wouldn't begin seriously training them for a few years to come, but their bond became unmatched very quickly.

Adulthood

As soon as he was old enough, Aku did exactly what everyone told him not to. He packed up his few belongings, and with Toast in towe used all his savings to move to a town called Cantoon in another region. He's still adjusting to the new town and people but living on his own was more or less a breeze. He filled up his team rather quickly and is now training with his pokemon to hope fully become the nect champion. This has already come with it's challenge though, as a kid born and raised in Cantoon, Tetsuya, more or less forced himself into the position of Aku's rival.
