## Story

Cin is originally from Hulbury, in the Galar Region. His life at home as a kid was not very fun due to his family, but he was very close friends with a Scorbunny which he named "Nando." When Cin was 12 years old, he left home for good, along with Nando. He soon met Professor Sonia, who gave him somewhere to stay and eventually inspired him to take on the Galar Gym Challenge. Cin then travelled Galar while catching Pokémon, learning to battle well, and taking on the gyms. Cin was able to collect all 8 gym badges and take on the Galar League's Wyndon Conference. During a battle against a Trainer and his Mega Absol, Nando - now a Cinderace - was able to take on a special new form thanks to it's bond with Cin. Due to the form being new to Cin and Nando, they couldn't control it and ended up losing the battle, placing 14th in the League.

Later, Cin headed to the Alola Region as he had heard that the Alola Champion had a similar form with his Greninja. Cin enrolled in the Pokémon School so that he could learn more about the world from Professor Kukui. Cin decided to take on the Island Challenge during his time in Alola. About Halfway through his Island Challenge, Cin met the Alola Champion, Satoshi, for the first time. Satoshi saw Cin and Nando's strange power-up form and decided to train Cin himself. Thanks to Satoshi's Training, Cin and Nando were able to master their Bond Phenomenon Form, which they named "Cinderace Miracle Form" (JP: **エースバーン**奇跡 *Aceburn-Kiseki**)***

Years Later, Cin is working as a Chaser for Project Mew alongside Gou, Shigeru, Tsurugi and Asahi. Cin is more interested in Pokémon Research nowadays, but is still a powerful trainer who battles from time to time. Cin's main field of research is Legendary and Mythical Pokémon.

## Pokémon

Cin owns many Pokemon. He swaps them out for whatever mission he is required to do, but he has a main team of six that he has with him if the mission requires no substitutions. The rest of his Pokémon live at Sakuragi Park in Vermillion City, Kanto.

### **Nando**

Nando is Cin's Cinderace. She was Cin's first Pokemon. She was originally a family pet as a Scorbunny. When Cin left home for his first journey, he caught Nando as they already had a strong bond with each other. She is Cin's closest friend, and his strongest Pokémon. Cin never removes Nando from his active roster. She is housed in a Luxury Ball.

Nando is capable of using the Bond Phenomenon to transform into her Miracle Form (JP: **エースバーン**奇跡 *Aceburn-Kiseki*). While in this form, Nando becomes a dual-type Fire/Fairy type Pokémon. Nando is also capable of using the move Light of Ruin, due to the Bond Phenomenon's ties to Infinity Energy most easily found in Eternal Flowers.

Her current moveset is *Pyro Ball*, *Play Rough*, *Counter* and *Iron Head*. While in her Miracle Form, *Play Rough* gets upgraded into *Light of Ruin*. Nando is also proficient at using the Z-Moves *Dynamic Full Flame*, *Lovely Star Impact* and *Super Spiral Combo*. Nando's ability is *Libero*, which causes her type to change to whatever move she is about to use. While in her Miracle Form, her ability changes to Huge Power, doubling her physical attacks' power.

### **Raichu**

Raichu is the third Pokémon that Cin never removes from his active roster. Cin and Raichu met in Ecruteak City, in Johto, when Raichu was still a Pichu. Pichu grew attatched to Cin very quickly. Their close friendship allowed Pichu to evolve into Pikachu. In Blackthorn City, Cin was given a Thunder Stone by the Gym Leader, Clair. Pikachu was keen to evolve, and used the Thunder Stone to trigger the evolution into Raichu. Raichu has become one of Cin's most reliable and powerful Pokémon. In the Alola Region, Cin was given a Z-Crystal by Tapu Koko, as his Raichu reminded it of a trainer that it had met a few years prior. This Z-Crystal was the 'CinRai-Z,' allowing Raichu to use the exclusive Z-Move *1,000,000,000 Volts*, only used before by Ash's Pikachu.

### **Rogue**

Rogue is Cin's Shiny Absol. She was caught in the Crown Tundra while Cin was visiting to research a local Legendary Pokémon. While it took Rogue a while to warm up to Cin, the two are close friends now. Their bond is the key factor to allow Rogue to Mega Evolve, provided that Cin has his Key Stone and Rogue has her Absolite.

### **Scout**

Scout is Cin's Shiny Dusk Lycanroc. He was met as a Rockruff on Melemele Island. When battling the Kahuna of Akala Island, Olivia, She noticed that aside from its alternate colour, Scout was almost identical in almost every factor to A Rockruff She'd Met Before. The similar circumstances led Olivia to the idea of taking Scout to the place in which the former Rockruff had evolved. Sure enough, Scout evolved into a Dusk Form Lycanroc when the green sun shined.
