## Character Bio

On the top of his head are triangular-shaped ears with the ear tip being lighter purple whilst the inner ear color is a purple color. His eyes are always closed, therefore, how or what his eye colors are remains unknown, he's also blind due to this. He has a short, circular snot with heart-shaped nostrils, there's a big lighter purple marking on the lower proportion of his face, it goes above his snout, also giving it a lighter purple color. Similar to his face marking, he has a lighter purple belly. Next to the big marking on his face are black poker card symbols, the one on the left resembles an upside-down heart shape with a black stick on the bottom, whilst the right resembles three balls attached to each other, two on the bottom and one on the top with a black stick underneath them. He wears a small shirt, which is actually part of his body and can't be removed.

He has big dark indigo purple shoulders, whilst his shirt is a normal indigo color that resembles a buttoned-up shirt.

### Pokédex Entry (Character Bio)

Presto's power/type is **Psychic**. He's a magician who performs various magic tricks for his audience, most of his tricks seem to variety more around teleportation and disappearing, which is actually a very popular trick used amongst many magicians. His magic tricks however are 100% real, considering he actually has the ability to teleport himself and can also teleport other characters and objects into other locations. However, he may accidentally teleport other objects over the heads of other characters, which could lead to them either getting injured, crushed to death or put within another bad situation revolving around the object. This too means that Presto has teleported other characters into dangerous and bad locations during his magic show, such as on the top of a volcano or literally high in the sky, in which they'll proceed to fall to their possible inevitable death depending if they can fly or levitate in the air. Presto is shown to not intend for this to happen, apparently, he doesn't have mastery control over his teleportation ability. He literally teleports while sleeping, in which he could teleport within a dangerous area without even knowing, leading to his death. The immediate moment Presto senses a threat within the area, he teleports in a few seconds without a second thought, which could also go wrong as he doesn't even decide where he wants the teleportation to take him.

He's the nephew of Vanish the Alakazam, who's a supervillain. In some instances for his heinous plans and acts, Vanish often recruits Presto for his help, whether it be for testing an experiment or taking part in a villainous crime, while Presto may oblige and do as his uncle says, he doesn't exactly want to a crime causer as the thought of helping a supervillain with hero Pokémon characters targeting them down doesn't sound so fun, so he often just teleports away. Presto tends to be quiet and rarely speaks, he also sleeps a lot which has proven itself to be a major issue for not only his safety, but also the safety of everyone else. Things can go horribly especially if he suddenly falls asleep whilst using his psychic powers, meaning all of the objects that were being under the effect of telekinesis would stop floating in the air and start falling down bellow, resulting in many deaths or injuries if there's unfortunate characters in that area. His eyes are also always shut and he rarely opens them, this is also a problem as he usually does things that require eyesight, which can result in the deaths of others or himself.

Being his uncle, he does have a normal relationship with Vanish, however, he doesn't like the thought of Vanish attempting to get him to cause crimes along with him. While he does often oblige, he sometimes teleports whenever Vanish orders him to do something too heinous.
