Dr. Blade

## History

Blade grew up in the busy streets of Goldenrod City with his family of eccentric eevee researchers. As such, he grew to a fond liking of eevee and all it's evolutions. As he got older, he took particular interest in the more medical side of practice than research, though that's not to say he isn't amazing at researching either.

During his time researching and working, Blade had always wanted to see more evolutions of eevee, the ones that weren't officially added to the pokedex, as they hadn't really been seen or found yet. This eventually led him to start theorizing ways to help 'create' eeveelutions more naturally. During this bout of research, he found a surprising kinship with one of the family's eevees by the name of Orange. *See final paragraph in history to know why the eevee is called Orange.*

Orange was a particularly difficult eevee for his family to deal with as it refused to evolve no matter what they tried. It was during this time that Orange happened to see Blade researching a poisonous substance and showed a keen interest in it; so much so, that Blade had to prevent the rebellious eevee from attempting to drink it. After this odd encounter, Blade was able to bring Orange under control (much to the family's relief) because he now understood why he was being so difficult. It wanted to evolve into a poison-type eevee and nothing else.

With a new-found ally in his attempt to find/create new eeveelutions, Blade began to look more in-depth on potential methods of creating different eeveelutions. It was at this point that he caught word of Kairos Island, and its odd phenomenon of different species and techniques being found on a regular basis. After consulting his family, they decided to fund his trip to Kairos to further the research studies of eevees while working at the pokemon center in Sanctuary Island.

**Arrival at Kairos Island**

On the first day of arriving to Sanctuary Island, Blade met two eccentric trainers almost immediately after disembarking. They introduced themselves as Primrose and Adette and proceeded to give him a tour of the island while helping him find the pokecenter.

Within a few days of arriving, Blade learned that there were many trainers who had achieved the ability to completely change the typing of a pokemon, known as: Type-Sync. Incredibly interested, Blade began to look if it was possible if this type-sync technique would be what was needed to help Orange achieve its goal.

As of right now though, Blade is saving money to buy land and his own house.

***Eevee Naming***

The reason Blade's eevee is named Orange is because that was the name available at the time. His grandfather started doing research on eevee's and thier natures and potentials. Since eevee's nature and potential are so varied, he couldn't ever give an appropriate name to match their disposition or what they would evolve into. So he settled on naming each individually hatched eevee to a type of fruit. Kiwi, Watermelon, Strawberry, etc. Blade's family has kept with this tradition ever since.

## Appearance

While not in uniform (as a doctor), Blade will usually be dressed in slacks and a polo. If he is adventuring, he tends to wear cargo pants and pocketed shirts while carrying a backpack filled to the brim with essentials and medicine.

## Personality

Blade tries to be a gentleman, as such he will always open the door for woman, pull their chair out at the table, and try to maintain a dignified appearance. However, when he sees something interesting (like a new eeveelution), all this goes out the window and he tends to get more excited and maybe a little touchy wanting to examine the new species as soon as possible.

Blade is easy going and enjoys company of others. He is more than willing to provide help or services to his friends or those in need whenever he can.

## Ace Pokémon and Team

**Orange (Eevee):** Orange is Blade's first and most loyal pokemon, both of them wishing to see a new eeveelution created, Orange is willing to go out of the way to do what is necassary for its dream to become a poison type. Though when not actively attempting its dream, Orange tends to be very playful.

**Goomy:** Goomy was the very first pokemon that Blade caught when he came to Kairos Island. A rather rare, and fortunate find, Blade has found a new friendship with the goopy dragon.

**Chansey:** Since Blade works at the pokecenter, it was only natural he got a chansey to help in his endeavors.

**Lemon (Vaporeon):** Blade came across Lemon on one of his pokemon hunts and instantly grew attached.

**Furret:** One of his favorite pokemon (other than eevee) as a kid, Blade bought his sentret from Niles and had it evolve into a Furret.

## Friends

Primrose

Adette

## Foes

Longo: Not exactly a foe, but Longo has a tendency to come off as rude and cocky, blasting his music in the pokemon center despite the needs or issues of others. He's not particularly fond of Longo.
