Hammond

A man who is only known by the name "Hammond."

It is unclear if he even has a last name as few have the luxury to get to talk to him.

## History

Hammond has for better or worse spent his entire life living amongst the Pokémon inhabiting Kinaba Island and has thusly never spent much time with other people leading him to be rather awkward when it comes to people skills.

As a baby, Hammond was abandoned and left to perish in the jungle by his parents. Why this is the case remains a mystery but instead of meeting the grim fate put before him by those who should have cared for him most, Hammond would go on to survive the ordeal due to him being discovered by a roaming colony of Shroomish which happened to pass by him.

One Shroomish in particular would take extra interest in the infant Hammond and would stay by his side throughout his childhood. This very Shroomish just so happens to be Sentinel, the one and only friend and family Hammond has ever really known.

The name "Hammond" was adopted after he found a small crumbled up note inside his crib Titled "Dear Hammond \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*" "We're s\* s\*\*r\* \*on. \*ut th\*s \*a\* \*\*e \*n\*y w\*\*. For\*\*v\* U\*." Only the first part of the note was readable. The rest had either been scribbled out, like what he assumes to be a last name, or severly damaged by the damp climate of the jungle.

However Hammond cares not for his supposed Last Name as he in no way feels affiliated with his parents and instead seeks to find his own path in life. Maybe one day he will find people he can trust and open up to but for now he sticks to his PokéPartners as he always has.

He is currently taking up residence in a place called The Mycelium Sanctuary.

## Appearance

Hammond is usually clad in his Breloom lookalike outfit with his signature plague doctor mask on. He has a fairly average build on first inspection but his appearance can be deceiving as he is actually quite well toned under his suit. Likewise he could be described as "Handsome" with his light brown hair and deep green eyes by people should they see his likeness without the mask, however few ever will.

## Personality

Hammond is a very recluse and withdrawn individual who struggles with people skills as he has never had the ability to learn them. He does however have a very caring nature for injured beings, humans or not.

Though that being said he usually doesn't care much about what humans do or don't do. His main concerns are for the safety of the Pokémon who inhabits the various habitats of the many islands of the Kairos region. He only really seems to have strong emotional connections with Pokémon. That being said he is not outright hostile to people and can respect anyone who he deems to treat their partner Pokémon with the respect they deserve.

He has a strong distaste for people catching Pokémon who are unwilling to be caught and therefore makes it a point to befriend any Pokémon and earn their trust before offering them to join him on his journey.

Perhaps he might one day learn to be amongst people, should he spend enough time amongst them.

## Ace Pokémon and Team

Hammond prefers Pokémon of the grass variety but has by no means any typings he dislikes.

### **Main Team Members:**

#### **Breloom, *Sentinel* (Starter/Ace):**

The Pokémon who stuck by Hammond since as long as he can remember. This Pokémon has formed a special bond with his partner human and will guard the wild by his side.

Sentinel is by many means almost a direct reflection of Hammond but in Pokémon form.

#### ***Dartrix, Canopy:***

-v- This lad is often seen just chilling doing own things, an often friendly and welcoming birb boi this specific Dartrix is quick to make friends with other Pokémon and trainers alike.

Though should it ever be provoked enough or be stuck in a battle it will not hesitate to dish out the hurt by tossing sharpened feathers at its opponents.

It has been observed to bring medicine amongst other items to those in need during combat encounters. -v-

#### **Torracat, *Savannah:***

A little curious kitten with a glint in its eye. Always digging around, investigating its surroundings and people should there be any nearby. It is very forthcoming to new situations.

Litten has excellent tracking abilities and often finds its way into places it maybe shouldn't be in.

It was found chasing a wild Pikipek before it promptly got scooped up by a funnily clad trainer, who caught and peaked its interest, it has since befriended this trainer (Hammond) and now spends its time scouting the thickets and brush.

But rest assured, Curiosity won't kill this cat.

#### ***Morpeko, Hoarder:***

Also known as "OMG A HAMSTER UWU!!!!" and "He who hungers" this little fiesty ball of fluff and sometimes anger has what many would consider an insatiable apetite for food but also sometimes violence.

Despite its small size it actually packs a real hard punch.

"Because of their cheek pouches, hamsters actually have a higher capacity for evil than your regular animal" -Hamstovitch

#### ***Haunter, Shade:***

Just a really cool lad.

You can always expect that Shade will try and give you a pair of... well... shades? It is unclear exactly where Shade gets these seeming unending pairs of glasses from and why he has such an affinity and craving for putting them onto anything that moves and has eyes, sometimes even when its not alive nor has eyes. (Has been observed placing his signature shades onto cardboard cutouts)

It is speculated that Shade has access to a pocket dimension filled with never ending pairs of shades. This has since come to be known as the "Shade-o-realm"

He looks a tiny bit odd without his shades on.

#### ***Marshtomp, Mireland:***

A lil goofy gooper.

Not a whole lot happens inside this ones brain but it is still an extremely lovable creature who will just loaf around the field wondering if it should be showering whatever is currently infront of it in water.

A very dependable ally and 100% certified goofball.

### **Other notable Pokémon (Not currently on the team):**

#### **Steenee, *Meadow*:**

The first Pokémon besides Sentinel that Hammond has caught. Meadow originally joined his team as a Bounsweet and has a very caring nature for anyone it meets.

A very friendly and approachable Pokémon.

She was found in the Jungles of Kinaba Island.

#### **Lunatone, *Lunar*:**

This particular Lunatone likes to play dead in an effort to blend in with nearby rocks. This never works.

One of the things it really really really loves to do it to make other nearby Pokémons food start floating about when it is eating time. Why it does this nobody knows. But it always seems to enjoy itself whilst doing so.

#### **Frigibax, *Frostbite*:**

A recently hatched Frigibax.

Still a little baby.

Was saved by Hammond after the Baxcalibur Egg theft situation.

The group succesfully retrieved all the eggs and returned them to their owner. However this owner intended to make them into omelettes and just before they got the chance to crack the egg, Hammond requested to relieve them of an egg, upon which each member of the trainer expedition was granted a single egg to hatch.

It appears to be very withdrawn and skittish.

#### **H. Sneasel, *Ravine*:**

One of many peculiar Sneasel who Hammond and a larger group of Trainers came across whilst solving a case about a Baxcalibur Egg theft. These Pokémon would go on to be defeated in their plot to Eggnap and be caught by the other member of the group.

Hammond was then handed one of the caught Pokémon by another member, and Ravine now spends its days hiking the mountains alongside Hammond.

She has a very cool but smug personality.

## Friends

List of friends.

Respects ***Liv*** after observing the care she puts into her Pokémon.

***Oliver Badman*** is a G.

Pokémon and Nature. (He doesn't do well with people but this is mainly due to a lack of interaction)

## Foes

Rivals or foes!

Those who do Pokémon unnecessary harm.

Noone in particular yet.

## Goals

Hammond strives for a world where Pokémon and Humans can live in true symbiosis with nature and eachother. He wants to try and understand the thoughts of people but has no idea as of how to do that just yet. More interactions are required.

Hammond wants to keep both People and Pokémon happy, though mostly Pokémon. Though he has little interest in battling as he considers it a brutal and barbaric ordeal, he is willing to listen to the wants and needs of his trusted partner Pokémon, who might want to do just a little battling from time to time. That being said he is also aware that he has to get stronger if he wants to protect people and Pokémon and therefore accepts battling and similar institutions and a necessary evil.

His short-term goal is to try and understand the world around him. If he sees something that peeks his curiosity he will usually try and investigate it. This also applies to people as he wants to try and understand and connect to them.
