Flemeth the Gogoat

## History

Flemeth was born in a farther off area of the word, where freezing temperatures, rocky terrain, and blizzards were as common as fish in the sea. She was born to an older Gogoat mother that lived with a small community of other pokemon in the area. Her father wasn't around, and she frankly never met him, though her mother would occasionally entertain her if she asked of him when she was a young Skiddo. The small community that they lived in dwindled every year, mostly due to the younger population hitting the road for fortune, adventure, or just a better quality of life. The population got so low, that the community dwindled down right to 15 other Pokemon besides Flemeth and her mother. And eventually, the two left themselves.

The mother and daughter were nomadic once they had left the snowy tundra of their old home. They wouldn't stay in a town for more than a month. Only to nurse any injuries sustained from their travels, buy supplies, or just rest up during particularly harsh weather. For years the duo lived like this, and Flemeth learned many things from her mother. How to forage in the wild for food, mend injuries, basic survival tactics, and most importantly, how to traverse the plethora of regions they moved through.

Flemeth had long ago evolved, but around the age of 30, her and her mother eventually settled in the town of Redpetal. Her mother was already older when she had Flemeth, and had sustained most of the injuries on their nomadic due to protecting her daughter, so age and health was catching up with her. While Redpetal had been in their sites for a while, Flemeth mainly brought her mother to live here due to the Poppies that surround the town and their healing properties so that her mother could be comfortable and rest easier as she grew older. To support herself and her mother, Flemeth took up a job in Mail delivery, going from town to town to deliver mail and packages.

## Personality

Despite being a bit on the older side, Flemeth still seems like a Spring Torchic! She has a helpful, motherly attitude and is eager to lend a hand... err, hoof to any Pokemon in need. Or an ear, if she can'y physically help you, she'll be sure to listen to your woes and give you some sage advice, or just a good old nuzzle if that helps too. She couldn't care less what others might think of her, but seems to get especially angered when others pick on her friends, or just smaller pokemon. She carries herself in a ladylike manner, when it counts. And has flares of sassyness in her. She'll offer herself up as target any day, usually replying with "How about pickin' on someone yer' own size. Huh?" Though sometimes her *helpful* attitude can be her down fall. She can be rather blunt, or dense, lacking some fineness in things. Want to talk to that cute girl you have a crush on? Well too bad, Flemeth has found out, and she's already marching right up to them, and explaining how cute you are and your most embarrassing moments, so they couldn't possibly say no. Did someone cut in front of you in line? Well, now Flemeth has picked a fight with them on your behalf.

## Physical Description

From afar, Flemeth seem to be the average Gogoat, aside from some more unique features. Her right horn is missing, presumably from a fight from long ago. Her left ear is pierced with a golden ring as well. Due to growing up in a colder climate, her back legs have grown a second coat over then, and her overall fur is much shaggier than the average Gogoat. The grassy pelt on her back, around her neck, and tail have grown much more as well. Her height and weight are just slightly above average, with her height at 6ft (Head to feet), and weighing around 225 lbs.

## Prowess

Flemeth isn't the fastest, but due to her job and experience, she has an incredible amount of stamina and raw power from her days on the field. Although not the fastest pokemon, she can produce short bursts of speed, particularly when attacking and using moves such as *Aerial Ace* and *Wild charge.*  But her general go-to moves tend to be *Energy Ball*, *Horn Leech*, *Earthquake*, *Double-Edge*, and *Payback*.

Due to her ability *Sap Sipper* she is either immune and absorbs grass moves completely, or takes minimal damage from them. Special or status moves are generally absorbed, and power up Flemeth. These include but are not limited to: Solar Beam, stun spore, Worry seed, and Energy ball. While physical moves like Horn leech, vine whip, and Trop Kick are simply more resisted against Flemeth, equivalent to a 1/4th resist.

For more support like moves, she tends to use things like *Work up*, *Grassy Terrain, Synthesis*, and *Leech seed*.

Her main strengths are that she's quite bulky, sporting great defense (In general) and HP, as well as a great pool of stamina. But on the other hand, she's rather slow, along with the common plethora of Grass type weaknesses.
