## Biography

"Living near the Pokemon League is stressful. All the teens in town strive to be the very best, waking up every morning with the Indigo League looming over their quaint city, building up their drive and desires day by day. Matteo wants that too... he's just lacking a little... drive. Lazy, uncoordinated and lethargic, even. Dude doesn't even have enough grit to control his own volatile Pokemon.

Matteo's a sweet guy, don't get me wrong. He struggles with putting forth effort, and is often found dozing off or being a little too relaxed wherever he goes, sometimes even to the point of being unable to recognise danger. His parents thought they fixed his laziness problem when they found out he had a hearing problem. Nothing changed, but he does have a nifty hearing aid now!

Matteo's parents are rarely around, and he really does want to impress them. They're rather high maintenance, and they expect only the best from Matteo. He lives in his family's shadow, and sometimes they wish that he could be easier to hide so his shortcomings wouldn't have to publicly embarrass them. How can he hide when he's just so dang good looking? Perhaps his looks have contributed to his "it'll happen eventually" carefree attitude.

All of his family's accomplishments, trainers having fought their way past the Indigo League many times, have put them on the map and now it's Matteo's turn. Can he do it? More like, will he even try?"

Matteo's Sandshrew is an incredibly mean-spirited Pokemon. It thrives on destruction and disorder. It loves to needlessly smash things and cause others harm. This is due to Matteo's lazy nature as a trainer, and not disciplining his Sandshrew when it acts up, so it runs rampant.
