Ten
Trainer Tensei wants to battle!
Ten's first encounter with a wild Pokemon was as a child, when they were on a school trip to a mountain range. While eating lunch a baby Absol with red scythes approached Ten, who was sitting away from the group, so they offered it some of their lunch. The Absol cautiously accepted, letting Ten pat her head. She started following them and they assumed she wanted to be their friend. They named her Night Claw and somehow convinced the teachers to let them take her back on the bus. Night Claw was silent and somewhat intimidating, giving Ten a reputation as someone to steer clear of. They didn't mind, because their Absol glittered in the light. After learning that Night Claw was a shiny Ten became obsessed with finding more, and began travelling the world after high school. Their travels took them across the world as they documented their findings, focusing on ways of attracting and catching shinies. They'd always had an interest in battles, often watching them and reading up on the latest tactics, but didn't start training their Pokemon or battling other trainers until their mid 20's.
As a Gym Leader, Tensei runs a teahouse in a quiet corner of a bustling city suburb. It's a little tricky to find, hidden down winding alley ways, but presents a rewarding challenge for badge collectors. The teahouse operates as normal at first glance, but once challengers ascend to the second story they find themselves in a maze of ever-changing rooms. Entering the same door twice will take them to two different rooms with a new Gym Trainer to fight: trainers who specialise in the Ghost-type. Ten's gym has an object-based gimmick where trainers use Pokemon based on items: Sinistea, Dhelmise, Drifloon and Rotom, etc. Gimmighoul and Gholdengo are banned, not due to their power but because Tensei hates them. After entering the correct sequence of doors challengers face Tensei, the eerily floating Gym Leader.
As a Champion Tensei is at their most focused. They know their team isn't the strongest, so they always think multiple turns ahead and try to outwit their opponent. Using the tricks they learned as a Gym Leader Tensei tries to trick their opponent into making misplays or incorrect predictions, so they can get a free move or dodge an attack. They're incredibly aware of their weaknesses and try to use their opponent's intelligence against them by predicting what they think Ten will do, and doing something different. Switching Pokemon into attacks they resist, baiting Protects to raise their own stats and forcing their opponent to switch when it suits them are a few of Ten's go-to techniques.
