Ame Soria (PKMN2000)

=Ame Soria (PKMN2000)=
PKMN2000 Ame Soria, aged 19, is a Crimsonverse variant of mainline Ame Soria that resides in the PKMN2000 universe, a Pokémon universe. In this universe, PKMN Ame, paired up with her Gardevoir, is a Pokémon trainer, battling with them and is a lot less focused on Mercenary League duties than her mainline counterpart. She debuted on October 7, 2022 in Season 3 during the Pokémon Crimson trilogy and has her own series, Pokémon Crimson: XPEDITIONS, a direct continuation of her story to become greater and find peace for her past while doing so. PKMN Ame is the current ILTEP champion and is the ex-girlfriend of Leila Harris, someone who has a significant impact on her character. 
==Appearance==
Ame has 3 different outfits that she has been seen to wear throughout the Pokémon Crimson trilogy:
=== Standard Trainer ===
The standard outfit of PKMN Ame is a black modified track jacket with white shoulder lines that end at the elbow, with a red line that twists to the right (or left if on the opposite arm, however this is sometimes inconsistent) On the cuffs of the where the sleeve ends, there are two lines that circle around it. On the collar are gold colored collar. On her dominant throwing hand is a red glove that although isn't explicitly mentioned as to what purpose it serves, this is the way PKMN Ame would active Mega-Evolution. This glove is also a reference to the Sekki Tekko glove from Kill la Kill. Ame also wears a white shirt underneath the jacket, black jeans and white sneakers. 
Everyone knows a trainer needs their hat before embarking on journeys, so PKMN Ame also wears a black flat-brimmed hat with the Senketsu eye on it, but in the original PKMN Crimson episodes, Ame isn't wearing the hat.
=== ILTEP Challenger Uniform ===
This uniform is seen crudely drawn at the end of PKMN Crimson Part 2 and when Part 3 premiered, it showed it's full glory. Similar to the standard outfit, this uniform swaps out the black and replaces it with white, and the shoulder stripes are now black as well. On the left side of the jacket's chest area is the United States flag and beneath it is PKMN Ame's challenger number, 117. On the right side of the upper chest is the ILTEP logo and under it is the Soria last name. ILTEP rules require that the shirt worn under it must be the ILTEP shirt. The hat worn must be ILTEP branded, this hat is curve brimmed.
=== Champion Uniform ===
This uniform is worn by Ame after she defeats Marsh and is crowned the new state champion of Texas. The challenger uniform is mainly consisted of red, the shoulder stripes are white again and the twist bands are now black, as well as the bands on the cuffs. She is wearing her Senketsu hat again but the most important feature of this uniform is the "Champion Scarf," a yellow silk scarf with a white line running down the middle of it, this scarf is worn by current ILTEP champions and must be passed to whoever defeats them, for example, since Ame won against Marsh, she needed to forfeit the scarf to Ame, the NEW ILTEP champion, and if Ame is defeated, she must do the same. This scarf's color symbolizes victory, but in Ame's mind, it signifies something else: her ex-girlfriend Leila, who happened to the person she defeated. Since Ame knows Leila wore this scarf for a very long time, she takes extreme, obsessive care of it and seems to always wrap it around her body to simulate Leila's embrace. When the wind blows her scarf, it hugs her, and the reason why the scarf is always behind her is because her past and the memory of Leila are still holding her by the neck.
== Biography/Personality ==
PKMN Ame in this universe is the second oldest known multiversal variant (the first oldest variant is ARTX3090 Ame Ryuko Soria, who is 57 years old) being 19 years old, her age is not explicitly stated until the pilot episode of Xpeditions, which her National Pokémon League ID confirms it by looking at her date of birth, March 5, 2003.
PKMN Ame is also a college dropout and in Pokémon Crimson Part 1, PKMN Amanda mentions that she hasn't seen Ame in college recently and PKMN Ame replies saying she had dropped out because she found a "better use of her time." PKMN Ame, while she was still attending EPCC, (El Paso Community College) was studying computer sciences, graphic design and was also a part of the college's softball team before being ejected from the team after an verbal altercation that turned physical, this was not why she dropped out.
As stated earlier, PKMN Ame shows little interest in mercenary work, instead focusing on being a trainer. Her determination to be the best trainer she can possibly be while getting chances to go much higher are her main forms of motivation. She enjoys all things trainer related, which include getting to interact with Pokémon, train them, battle with them, and one time entered a Pikachu in am acrobatics competition. She has a very high confidence stat, rarely letting minor or major inconveniences get to her, finding silver linings in them and uses them to make the best of a shitty situation.
While PKMN Ame is a great trainer who can stay calm and focused in stressful situations, she does hide her vulnerabilities behind that mask. Underneath is a very insecure person who has been hurt emotionally due to her actions with her ex, Leila Harris, who Gardevoir told Ame about when they won the ILTEP championship match. This causes a mental relapse in Ame about Leila, something that may be more prevalent in future Xpeditions episodes. Their stories conflict in determining who was to blame for their parting, leaving it up the viewer who they want to believe.
==Pokémon* ==
*This only applies to PKMN Ame.
Always at her side and reliable ally is Gardevoir, a psychic/fairy type Pokémon who accompanies Ame on her adventures (and misadventures) and helps with whatever, as well as being a good friend. These two have a psychic bond, meaning that Ame can hear Gardevoir speak, while others cannot except A1770 Ame, most likely because A1770 and PKMN Ame are same person as stated by Gardevoir in Pokémon Crimson Part 2. 
In Pokémon Crimson Part 3, when PKMN Ame battles Yua in the ILTEP match, she is seen using Hitmonchan and later in the episode, she also had managed to capture legendary Pokémon Xerneas (for reasons that I don’t care to explain because it’s funnier not to) but it's unknown to how she even managed to do this. 
In XPEDITIONS, Ame is unable to use any of her Pokémon she had in her storage box except for one, which she obviously chose Gardevoir. 
==Trivia==
*PKMN Ame used to have all of her gym badges she received displayed in plain view to avoid people challenging her, but it only made her appear cocky so now she keeps them inside her jacket.
*PKMN Ame has taught Gardevoir multiple ways to kill, which Gardevoir has been an assistance in few Mercenary League contracts with Ame, throwing a chair at an enemy in Part 2 and in Stories from the Crimsonverse, she telekinetically gets Ame's pistol and shoots a lewd Pokémon artist, showing no hesitation to end a life.
*In an Instagram post, PKMN Ame was seen with a Masterball on her waist.
*Earlier concept designs of PKMN Ame implied that PKMN Ame was a fire type user.
