Christopher Rodriguez

## Chris Rodriguez

Chris at the start of the Rebirth Saga

Christopher Rodriguez is one of the graduate students of the Aquacorde City Pokémon Academy and a main character of Z: A Kalos Journey. He is written by Oddball\_.

 Background

Chris lived a mostly uneventful life in his family home in Lentimas town in the Unova region, spending most of his time walking the path around the volcano and reading the myths and legends that he got from the local library.

It wasn't until he moved to Kalos that Chris began to become exciting. He began to excel in his classes, achieving high albeit not the highest grades. His favourite subjects were history and science. In fact, his knowledge of the legends of Kalos and the paper that he wrote on them after the Team Flare fiasco were highly praised in the mythological historian community.

## Personality

Chris is most often portrayed as highly intelligent, if not a genius in and of itself. While his primary goals certainly aren't Pokémon battle oriented, he often plays his battles very tactically. Using type match ups, Abilities, and other factors to his benefit. This can also show itself in his love of history and lore. Inspired by a trip to the Nacrene City, he was one of the few there who was far less inspired by the art than the bones and relics which Lenora had on display. When he arrived in Kalos, he spent most of his student years not socializing with the other students, and preferring much to be shut in his room reading one of the many books of lore which he had either acquired from the library or his loving family had sent him from home.

However, there is more to Chris than meets the eye. Beneath the lore nerd, there is a hyperactive youth that found a release through the means of Roller Skating during his early adventure through the Kalos region. Quickly becoming a natural talent, winning his first race on *Parterre Way,* and shortly thereafter winning his second race against the bike riding Grant in Cyllage City. While it certainly isn't his primary goal, Chris absolutely intends to further explore this newfound hobby.

## Physical Appearance

Chris is scrawny young man. He stands at a respectable 5"8' (172.72cm) and weighs around 140lbs (10 stone). near caramel skinned with dark hair and hazel eyes. He has a very peculiar birthmark on his right shoulder, shaped like a fancy letter of some ancient language.

Common clothing items include his brown hiking boots, A poncho that was given to him by his grandmother, and a hat he purchased in Lumiose several years prior, and a few things he picked up at the boutique in Cyllage City.

## Relationships

In regards to the other students, Chris was ignorant. He didn't pay them any mind. As with elementary, he thought that once he finished school their paths would lead them apart. So he never bothered forming friendships with any of them. Since his journey began, however, he has bumped into some of them several times, with mixed relations being formed.

*MAIN CAST:*

***Sebastian Allender - Friendly***

Chris and Sebastian met in Lumiose city, and have had a friendly relationship with each other ever since. Chris admires Sebastian's strength as a trainer, especially after witnessing how he handled himself during the fight with the Cloned Gyarados. Chris hopes to one day battle with the young man with no holds barred.

***Drew Tucker - Strong Hostility***

Chris encountered Drew while acting as a deliveryman for Professor Sycamore. The young trainer had then stolen the parcel from Chris and after an encounter with a suspicious thug in a Lumiose alleyway, narrowly escaped from Chris. The two later encountered each other several more times and the hostility between the two has only grown since then.
