Notes

  • I didn't intend for Ethan to have a similar hair color as Katsu. It sorta just happened and I decided to just roll with it.
  • As noted, Ethan is meant to be a replacement of Barry from the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum series with Katsu being the protagonist.
  • I created Ethan as a means to find a balance between having a asshole rival and a friendly one. It's one of the few things I felt we don't get enough of in Pokemon games.
  • Ethan's design is something that is meant to be a slight constrast to Katsu's.

The Sinnoh Champion

About

Your name is Ethan Whitlock, and you are the Sinnoh champion. This has been the case for several years, and you refuse to allow anyone to take that title away from you (without force). After all, you worked hard to become one. You never thought you would find yourself sitting in the castle of the Pokemon League as a champion. You thought your best friend (Katsu Saito) would be the one to do so. Katsu had the drive and determination to be one. However, that changed when the male came back (after being taken by that strange murky Pokemon). The male's desire to become a champion had faded away as the male spent years being broken over whatever he witnessed while in the realm. Sometimes, you ask him what was in that realm. Katsu always told you that he saw Hell. You'll never understand if what he's saying is right or not (especially with the previous champion ramblings about the world being a place of distortion). Regardless, you have decided to become a champion to honor your friend. After all, both of you did make a promise that one of you would reach the top.

Preferences

Likes

  • Pokemon Battles. He very much enjoys engaging with them as they help keep him being bored.
  • Sewing. It's a nice acitvity to engage in when you're not worrying about anything related to Pokemon battles and what not.
  • Brendan. He loves his boyfriend. He'll do whatever he can to make the male smile.
  • Interactions. The male is very much a extrovert and practically strives off of social interactions with others. It doesn't even have to be human!

Dislikes

  • Lack of organization. He can be a bit fussy when it comes to structure espesically when it involves the Pokemon League and anything that involves paperwork.
  • Horror movies. The male can't stand them. He'll do whatever it takes to avoid watching any.
  • Sinnoh's weather. He's not a fan of how cold Sinnoh can get espesically when Winter comes.
  • Sleep. Why need such a thing!? He can go a few days without it!

Personality

Ethan is a benevolent, easygoing guy that has no problems bringing a smile to other's faces. Whenever he meets someone new, he's obligated to act as an inviting gentleman. He doesn't like the idea of others disliking him. The last thing he needs is dealing with people finding ways to make his life a misery. To those younger than him, he serves as a mentor, often giving advice and encouragement to those who need it. He's not the type to mock those who fail and is often quick to praise others for trying. It's one of the few reasons why a good chunk of people in Sinnoh is fond of him. He doesn't gloat about his abilities. He inspires others to get stronger through whatever means necessary. When he's with Katsu, he can be a bit snarky and flirty towards the shorter male. Other than that, Ethan and Katsu see each other as brothers. Ethan is one of the few people that Katsu trusts when it comes to how he feels about things. After all, Ethan can be compassionate, serious, and wise when he needs to. Not only that but, Ethan was one of the few people that helped bring Katsu out of the darkness he was trapped in for years.

Katsu Saito Best Friend


5367491?1583457291

Having known the male for years, it's no surprise that Ethan is close to Katsu. The two had went through so many hardships together and been there when the other needed them the most. In a way, they see each other as brothers. When they're together, they often fire snarky remarks at each other during Pokemon battles.

Brendan Boyfriend


8455111?1602128078

Having met him when they were teenagers, Ethan cares deeply for Brendan and will do whatever it takes to make him smile. He has been one of the few people to keep him sane from hard work that comes with being a champion. He often visit the male in Hoenn when things are slow in Sinnoh. He enjoy watching Brendan perform in contests.

Jasper the Infernape Partner Pokemon/Starter

Jasper is Ethan's first Pokemon and has been by his side for years. Without Jasper, Ethan would have lost his marbles years ago. While Jasper can be a rowdy at times when it comes to his desire to fight, Ethan cares deeply for his partner. If the monkey is feeling down, Ethan is always the first to try to bring his spirits up.

Pearl the Togekiss Partner Pokemon

When it comes to keeping things organize, Pearl is always the one that keeps things on track. To Ethan, he's his assistant and a second mother to him. She always makes sure that he's being well-taken care as he does occasionally forgets to take care of himself when he gets really into his work.

Jet the Dusknoir Partner Pokemon

Ethan does occasionally bumps head with Jet as the Dusknoir has the tendency to not listen to his commands. He's not really sure why this is the case since he has done his best in treating him well. Regardless, he is taking his time in getting the Pokemon to trust him. It's taking a while, but he's making some progress. Any progress is better than no progress.

Sapphire the Floatzel Partner Pokemon

While Sapphire may be a little rough around the edges (similar to Jasper), Sapphire rarely gives Ethan a headache. In fact, she's usually the one that saves him from dealing with one by being the one that keeps the team on track whenever Ethan is busy worrying about stuff. She does treat Ethan like a younger brother despite the fact that Ethan is older than her.

Peridot the Roserade Partner Pokemon


21008772_QIS46mBrmeLRy4z.png

Peridot has the tendency to stick his nose in places that he shouldn't. It's to the point that the male always seem to stumble his way into trouble as a result. It causes Ethan to deal with quite a few headaches when dealing with him. However, this doesn't mean that Ethan dislikes Peridot. In fact, he's pretty amused by the flamboyant rose.

Emerald the Tyranitar Partner Pokemon

Ethan wasn't expecting Emerald to be a docile Pokemon given her species. However, Ethan doesn't see a reason to complain about it. Having a aggressive, wild Tyranitar is something that he prefer not to deal with. Regardless, he always get a kick out of seeing people see how gentle and kind the taller Pokemon can be.
