Flynn Saunders

## History

Growing up on a small berry farm, Flynn sought more than the simple, monotonous, and provincial life of a farmer. Seeking the bright lights, paparazzi, and action of the big city, Flynn set out with his trusty Funfetti to pursue a life of stardom and fame.

## Appearance

A lanky figure with well-kept hair, a clean shaven face, and glasses. He dons very stylish clothing with a white and gold cloak that seems to have no specks of dirt or dust at any time. Always has his partner Funfetti on his shoulder.

## Personality

A very determined and outward person who always looks to spread joy and entertainment wherever he goes. Doesn't like to get himself or his Pokemon dirty. Not the best battler, but moves with grace and elegance wherever he goes.

## Ace Pokémon & Team

Flynn's team contains a mix of Fairy types, as well as other friends he has met along his journey.

Bongos (Azumarill) - ACEDelilah (Lurantis)Luna (Ninetales)Wiggs (Wigglytuff)Funfetti (Alcremie)
##### Main Cast

Bongos (Azumarill) - The Battle Superstar, the bringer of pain and drumming. Spunky and with the heart of a champion despite his small size, he's always rearing to go for a fight. He's very proud of his strength, but sometimes doubts Flynn's combat abilities, knowledge, and tactics. Voted "Kairos' Most Popular Pokemon" in June 2023 Census.

Delilah (Lurantis) - The salon extraordinaire, the gossiper & beauty queen. Delilah assists Flynn in the salon, as well as trimming and maintaining the orchard's plants. She has a very cheery personality, always singing and seeking any tea that can be spilled during a given day. Perhaps has a darker side to her, now having a bodyguard in Cupid to handle any enemies she might make. (Signature Innovation Move: *Cunning Blades*)

Luna (Ninetales) - The moon-touched seeker of Guardians. Luna is obsessed with the moon and the stars, viewing them as a watchful protector always present in the night sky. She's recently become very fascinated in the Guardians scattered around the Kairos Islands, and witnessed the Leafeon Guardian of Pampa firsthand while at the Grove. Her curiosity has now let her wonder whether the moon itself is some sort of Guardian. (Signature Innovation Move: *TBD*)

Wiggs (Wigglytuff) - (Signature Innovation Move: *Yoom Tah!*)

Funfetti (Alcremie) - Flynn's starter, always very joyful and cheerful. Enjoys pretty flowers and sweet treats. Loves to visit Wurtem to look at the glowing plants. (Signature Innovation Move: *Rainbow Deluxe*)

Edgar (Meowstic) - Always gets into trouble, friend of Nonna (Zenith's Meowstic) (Signature Innovation Move: *Psychedelic Trance*)
