Yeah, but still boy's closet mainly filled with black, black and more black until dear mother insisted to accompany him to the department store. And, let's not forget his fair collection of boots.
OTHER ) He had his left ear pierced. Shouyo originally wanted to do both but unable to handle the pain in the end. He only used one kind which he never taken off since he has it (even though his mother told him it looks very weird). He has red irises which he hid with colored contacts.

PERSONALITY TRAITS ) Carefree, Aloof, Deceiving, Loner, Collective
PERSONALITY )Some people think Shouyo has a quite nasty personality. Most of the time he shows a carefree tendencies, making jokes and speaks without care and has a thing on complementing others to the point of flirting openly. He hardly feel offended by others and where he is more intelligent than some of his peers Shouyo never particularly think of himself higher than anyone. Shouyo uses his knowledge to manage his problems (in ways only he knows how) and for battle purposes. Hardly lose his cool even in a very heated situations.

Yet, at the same time he is very detached to people in despite of showing some friendly demeanor to others, in a way most people could not understand which was the real Shirizawa Shouyo. And the fact that Shouyo himself is the kind of person who could say a lie without batting an eyelash doesn’t help this at all. He’s tricky and crafty in deceiving others so he would get his way. Shouyo is a top con-artist when needed to. Travelling alone at most time and the type who comes and goes as he pleases, he rarely create any some sort of relationship to others thus unless the other party decided to stick around this nasty individual Shouyo could just vanish completely from their life.

Shouyo doesn’t have a lot of friends. However, when he ever do he will try to protect that relationship at any cost. Extremely loyal and simply cannot be moved once he’s devoted into someone. When regarding them the ‘real’ Shouyo showed up along with his weaknesses and fear of being left alone or useless to others. Also, he gets more emotional than he usually is. 

BACKGROUND & LIFESTYLE ) His mother died while giving his birth and Shouyo ended up living together with his father whom hated by the villagers. They lived outside a small town further away to the mountain than the Snowpoint City. Shouyo was outcast-ed by his peers which parents had warned them about Shouyo and his father.

One day when he ventured out to the mountain himself, driven by his frustration, he met an Absol. He understood that the Pokemon was about to give a sign of an upcoming disaster, thus he raced down to the town only being held back by a blizzard. He was nearly killed but saved by the same Pokemon. Yet, when he returned, the small town was already buried by an avalanche. Being an orphan, Shouyo was adopted when he was twelve year old by a couple who cannot have a child. Together they moved to Jubilife City.

In age of fourteen Shouyo started his life as a trainer and somehow made the same Absol who saved his life as his trusted partner ("Absol-chan!"). He is lazy and rarely participate in events. Only collecting the badges. While he did, he collected fair amount of information along the way about secret organizations in between his constant visit to the Game Center. Now sixteen, Shouyo will take a new step to a new region to explore (and a new game to take).

TORIUMI SHINJI
 
 

FULL NAME ) Toriumi, Shinji
BIRTHDATE & AGE ) 23th January 1998, 16
THEIR PARTNER POKEMON ) Alakazam
PERSONALITY ) Shinji is a boy filled with curiosity. Once he's fixated to a mystery he would devoted himself on revealing the truth. He is kind to others and geniunely friendly. Shinji is very tenacious as he continuously fight his illness in order to fulfill himself with answers of the world. As opposite of Shouyo, Shinji is a man of his words and true to himself.

HOW YOU MET/MEET ) Shouyo and Shinji met each other a year ago, when both of them are still fifteen. They meet in a quite delicate situation. Shinji was cornered by some Pokemon thieves and Shouyo suddenly came and flashed them a video camera, saying that he already tape them and if he wanted he could give the information to tied them up with a certain organization. Afraid, they left immediately.

Curiously, Shinji asked the other why would Shouyo helped him which answered because Shouyo wanted to looked like a hero even for a minute. Cannot hold his curiosity Shinji asked him what will he do with the tape and the bad guys. Shouyo told him that he didn't have any tape and those guys are stupid because they believe a bluff a kid just made before laughing.

In a flash Shinji was both confused and interested with Shouyo and introduced himself. He openly showed his feeling that Shouyo even said that he was quite flattered by it and then allowed Shinji to uncover who Shouyo is in every way he pleases. Although, the next day Shouyo already left the town. It doesn't stay that way though, because then they came to realize that they are neighbors and the reason they haven't met each other simply because Shinji was hospitalized before.

INTERACTION ) The first reason that probably tied them together either as friends of love interest would probably their opposite view of things around them. While Shouyo desperately try to cover things up, Shinji wanted to unravel everything. Both of them know that Shinji does have great interest in Shouyo as a person and the other boy used this chance to create riddles about his motives and self for Shinji to uncover. Although, in Shinji's eyes it seems like Shouyo really wanted to tell him the truth eitherway but refused or rather scared of it and resorted in giving them as part of a game only two of them could play.

When it doesn't concern this, they also have a quite disagreement because of Shouyo's preference of Dark-Type Pokemon where Shinji simply adores Psychic-Type. Shinji loves to tease Shouyo because his Eevee turned out to be evolved to Espeon instead of Umbreon like Shouyo originally wanted. It was worth to note that even though Shouyo likes to tease other people, when it's only them Shinji is more of a teaser than the other boy.

Shinji doesn't like of being taken care by Shouyo who might have a soft spot because of Shinji's illness and most of the time gets angry when Shouyo does. He wanted the other boy to view him as if he was a perfectly normal boy who can fend himself. And the fact that physically Shinji is taller and broader than the lean Shouyo.
STATUS ) friends (?), neighbors

FACECLAIM ) Shuu Ouma (Guilty Crown)
BACKUP FACECLAIM ) Kouchi Sakakibara (Another)

"THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A COMPLETE LIE. TRUE, OR NOT?"

WHAT TYPE OF TRAINER ARE YOU? ) To put it simple I'm just a normal trainer you see on every road in any region. Although I'd say Pokemon is not my only interest, if you know what I mean. I also wanted to try to be a Pokemon Coordinator. I mean, I am a great poffin chef! If only I can find a way to convince Absol-chan to do it/sighs/

WHAT IS YOUR BATTLING STYLE? ) Any Pokemon and trainer can be strong but in the end when you catch them off guard they are just a sitting duck, ne? Speed and reading the mind of opponent until they're waltzing on the palm of my hand... ha-ha, maybe that's my battling style!

ARE YOU A ROOKIE OR EXPERIENCED TRAINER? ) Ah... how am I suppose to answer that? But well, I do have two years of experience prior of my journey to Kalos and I've been together with Absol-chan years prior my first adventure. So, it's not a lie that I am a quite experienced trainer, ne?

DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN TRAINING A CERTAIN TYPE OF POKEMON OR ARE YOU ALL ROUNDED? ) To be honest I don't exactly specialize any certain type. However, when I put my thoughts on it maybe I am a bit biased with Dark-Types. But, then again it's only a preference. I'm okay with all types! Well, most of the time...

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MEGA EVOLUTION? ) Hmm... I think it is very interesting phenomena indeed. I know some evolution come from the bond created between Pokemon and its trainer. But, a method to make them evolve further is something entirely different. For me who partnered with an Absol it's certainly a magnificent thing. Especially for my Absol-chan to have such a beautiful wings!

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS, DREAMS OR AMIBITION FOR THE FUTURE ) My goals, dreams or ambition? Zero, nada, none, turn around please. It's a secret. Someone once said a secret make a woman a woman. But, I'm not a woman but it doesn't matter. However, let me tell you one thing. It has something to do with world domination... joking!
