Trevyn Vernon

Trevyn Vernon, also known by the codename Mr. Skully Pettibone, is a member of Team Skeleton.

## Personality

Trevyn is often seen as a loud and sociable person. People typically see him as kind and caring, though he can often come off as blunt and harsh at times as well. Trevyn enjoys meeting with new people and often tries to make new connections. These connections never tend to last, however, as with his active personality comes a level of instability, and he typically never stays in one place for long. Trevyn has a love for travelling, and has been exploring the world for the past few years after leaving his home with the dream of one day visiting every region. Paralleling his bright and outgoing personality, Trevyn is also a nature lover at heart. He adores grass-type Pokémon, and centers most of his team around them.

## History

### Early Life

Trevyn was born in Fortree City, Hoenn, where he lived as an only child with his parents for most of his childhood. His parents had a rigid style of raising him, heavily restricting his activities and expecting a lot out of him when he began school. Trevyn did not enjoy most of his time in school, though his parents also began having him take piano lessons around the same time, which resonated with him much more closely. His parents constantly degraded him for his downfalls, however, only making it more difficult to overcome them. Trevyn struggled to make friends at a young age, and ended up mostly keeping to himself when possible. He never had a close connection with anyone else, human or otherwise, until he found a small Lotad rummaging around their family's garden.

Trevyn and this Lotad soon became close, though Trevyn's parents did not approve of him caring for a Pokémon. The Lotad began to frequently visit his home, and he started caring for her outside in their garden. One day, a severe storm swept through their city, however, terrifying the Lotad as she struggled to find shelter. When Trevyn ran outside to check on her, his parents severely scolded him for his view towards the Pokémon, feeling that it was a waste of his time to care for her. After this event, combined with all of the indignation he already felt towards his parents and the way they treated him, he ran away from home, at the time only 15 years old.

### Life Outside of Hoenn

Once Trevyn left his hometown, he began to truly explore his life as he wished it to be. No longer restricted by life under his parents, he soon found it easier to make connections with others when being more willing to express his true self. He began his travels in the Sevii Islands of Kanto before moving to the mainland and eventually towards other regions, taking occasional small jobs as a pianist as a source of income. Initially fluent in Kantonian, living in Kanto was easier for him, but it left him wanting a newer experience. He soon after travelled to Galar, where he quickly picked up on Unovan as he lived there for over a year. Not as content with life in Galar, he decided to move closer to his home region, going from Sinnoh and Fiore before staying in Almia, where currently resides now.

Despite so frequently moving between new regions, unknown circumstances have left Trevyn remaining in Almia for many years now. He eventually heard of the newly-formed Team Skeleton, and on November 6th, 2019, he decided to join the team, offering him a source of more stability in his life as he remained in the region. Despite his past love for music, playing piano began to fall to the wayside for him, merely reminding him of memories he'd rather forget. Trevyn remains in the team to this day, caring for his Pokémon and taking on gardening as a hobby with their help.

## Relationships

Despite having made many various connections over his years of travelling, ranging from platonic to romantic, Trevyn doesn't make much effort to keep in touch with them for long and has no current contact with any of the people from his past. As he'd put it, he prefers to leave the past behind him, focusing instead on whatever new endeavors may lie ahead for him.

## Pokémon

### Jade (Female Lombre)

Trevyn met Jade as a young Lotad while he was still living in Fortree City, and she became a sort of starter Pokémon to him and his journey. Without any close human friends in his hometown, they soon formed a close bond with each other. After the storm, though, Trevyn was worried for her and enraged by his parents' apathy towards the situation, which became a major reason behind his decision to leave his home.

### Topaz (Male Shiny Parasect)

While travelling through the Kanto region, Trevyn met Topaz as a Paras in Mount Moon. As a shiny Pokémon, his manner of standing out from other Paras made him more susceptible to predator attacks, and when Trevyn found him, he was severely injured and missing one of the mushrooms on his back. Trevyn quickly decided to take Topaz in and care for him, but even as his wounds healed, his second mushroom never grew back. This is still reflected in him as a Parasect now, with the large mushroom on his back being noticeably smaller than average for a Parasect.

### Aquamarine (Female Drednaw)

While in the Galar region, Trevyn found himself in Galar Mine No. 2, where he encountered Aquamarine as she was being harassed by a group of humans. As a Drednaw, Aquamarine has a short temper, and was quick to attack when provoked. Trevyn managed to intervene and fend off the other humans, but faced an attack from Aquamarine in the crossfire. Despite this, he was determined to show her compassion in an attempt to calm her down, which was successful as she began to let her guard down. He was able to connect with her, and she allowed herself to join his team.

### Emerald (Female Torterra)

Emerald was the last member added to Trevyn's team when he was in the Sinnoh region. Surprised by her rarity as a standard starter Pokémon, he actually found her in the wild as a Grotle after having been abandoned by her previous trainer. She took shelter in a route near the town Trevyn was staying in, and over the course of a few days, Trevyn would periodically check up on her, as she seemed to be struggling to adapt to life in the wild. Emerald initially was reluctant to open up to Trevyn, but overtime she became more comfortable around him and was willing to join him on his journey.
