Glacia is a Unovan teenager who really likes the cold. So much so in fact that she's creating her own villainous team to make the world colder. Unfortunately, quite a few things are preventing her from even forming the team. Mainly, the flight she took to Kanto took most of the money she had saved up for her pokemon journey, leaving her with only 500 pokedollars. Regardless, she's determined to survive in this harsh environment, to get more food, get more money, and become the most powerful trainer on the planet. She has a calm and analytical mind, but can be motivated to anger at some points. Apparently, she is named after a member of the Hoenn Elite Four, though her family mostly consists of fire type trainers.

## History

### **Pre-Day 1**

Glacias' adventure started in Celadon City. With barely any money and no active allies, she began looking for Pokemon to join her party. To her luck, she found a Mincinno, which she was able to catch without even fighting. However, to her dismay, the Mincinno was not in any mood to cooperate with her. With that venture exhausted, she decided to maybe look for ways to make money. She tried applying for a job at the Celadon Hotel, but decided she'd rather not be tied down to Celadon to work. Her next stop was the Game Corner. In here she met Le'an and played a couple of round of Blackjack and Giratina's Wheel. However, she only ended up losing even more money and not gaining any milage on a possible takeover.

Everything was going awful for Glacia. And thus, she decided to take a more aggresive stance on her plan. She began to collect rocks near Celadon to throw at people, possibly to deter enemies or force them to her will. Glacia began picking pokemon fights with some youngsters, but she noticed her extra force was not necessary to achieve victory, as her Vanillite and Mincinno proved rather efficent in battle. Her day ended with a few more scopes on nearby areas, but a failure to secure anything due to tight security. She slept outside that day.

### **Pre-Day 2**

#### Celadon City

Glacia fed herself and her Pokemon with the last of her food resources. They'd have to get serious today if they wanted to survive. The Poke-Mart was her first stop. In an attempt to get the security scope on the Poke-Mart, Glacia struck conversation with the clerk. His name was Iggy, and he seemed to confirm to her that not only was the Poke-Mart lacking in security, but also that he himself has stolen some things in the past. Content with this information, Glacia began discretely taking some items, including a TM for Secret Power. Things were looking up, and with that, she headed off to Route 7.

#### Route 7

While searching for new Pokemon to train against, Glacia stumled upon a Grandbull. Despite her attempts, which included several sneak attacks, frozen dinner bribes and betrayal, the Grandbull seemed to get the upper-hand on her and her Pokemon. Before Grandbull could hurt her however, Iggy and his Sneasel jumped in to save her. Glacia joined him and together they were able to defeat Grandbull, which Iggy took advantage of and used the opportunity to catch it. Iggy offered her the Grandbull, but Glacia refused, understanding that in the future, she couldn't rely on others to help her out, and that the Grandbull would only be proof of that. After that, Glacia and Iggy struck up another conversation about what they were doing with their lives, to which Glacia lied and said she just wanted to travel. She also subtly implied that Iggy's life was not compatible with her, and that she couldn't understand people who were fine with living a simple and boring life. Iggy took offense to this and challenged Glacia to a battle with some stakes. If she were to win, he'd have to give her a great amount of his items. If he was to win, Iggy would have to tag along with Glacia to wherever she chose to travel to. The two agreed and got into a doule-battle.

Iggy wasn't confident Grandbull would listen to him, so he'd use his Sneasel and his Gloom, while Glacia used the only two Pokemon she had in hand. By this point, Mincinno still seemed distant towards her, but was willing to listen for now. During the fight, Glacia began to help her Pokemon by throwing rocks at Gloom. Iggy responded by screaming while Mincinno used Echoed Voice, making the move weaker. The fight seemed to take a bad turn when a combination of Sneasel's oppresive offense and Gloom's Stun Spore got Vanillite and Mincinno paralyzed, which then caused Vanillite to be easily dispatched. However, Mincinno was able to take down Gloom with some cleverly placed Tail Slaps. This left Sneasel and Mincinno in a 1v1. In a struck of luck, despite the paralysis and weakened state, Sneasel was struck by Cute Charm, which left it useless for the rest of the battle. Glacia then forced Mincinno to go on an impromptu date with Sneasel, to which Iggy reacted with absolute shock. Mincinno disregarded the order, instead going for the finishing blow on the distracted Sneasel, winning the battle.

#### Saffron City

As per their terms, Iggy handed over the items. However, Glacia still asked Iggy to join her. Iggy agreed and went to the Poke-mart to quit his job. While Iggy was usy with that, Glacia moved to Saffron City through Route 7. She waited for Iggy at the Pokemon Center, and once the two met up again, they moved to Little Apple Inn. The price was bit high for them, so they asked the inn keeper Gunner, a muscular Galarian native, to see if they could get a lower price. Gunner mentioned he had a proposition. He'd lower the price for both to $300 if they'd each fight his two sons: Ron and Mike. He explained they had recently lost to the local gym leader Sabrina and that they were looking for training partners. Glacia and Iggy agreed and shook on it. They sleep inside the inn in different rooms.

### **Pre-Day 3**

#### Saffron City

Glacia woke up, and good on her word, would prepare herself to fight Ron. During this time, she saw a newscast about a galarain smuggling ring being pressure for stealing and trnsferring Geodude and Zubat. She stepped downstairs where Ron awaited. The two stepped outside for their sparring match. Ron was extremely passionate and loud, and some of this seemed to rub off on Glacia during their fight. First it was Ron's Houndour vs Glacia's Mincinno. It was a rough fight, but Mincinno came out on top. Then it was Vanillite vs Horsea. Vanillite was able to show off its new Secret Power, which was able to get a jump on Horsea, but its powerful Twister overpowered Vanillite and knocked it out. However, Horsea was severely weakened by Vanillite, making Mincinno get an easy knock-out on it. Ron was furious with his loss, but still asked Glacia to come inside the inn again, where Gunner took her into what seemed like a secret hatch.

Iggy was already waiting in this room, signing a contract. Gunner revealed to Glacia that he and his family ran a Galarian smuggling ring, where they would transfer Kanto Pokemon into illegal galarian zoos for the rich to partake in. Iggy had decided this was the type of venture he wanted, and was signing in to help them. However, Gunner recognized Glacia wanted more and already knew she would deny the application. As gift for her help (and as a bribe for her silence) Gunner gave Glacia a Pokeball containing a Galarian Pokemon. Iggy and Glacia said their goodbyes and Glacia was off to explore.

Glacia discovered the Pokemon inside was a Galarian Meowth. This Pokemon was ravaneous and a bit loosey, which put her off at first, but she still decided to keep it. Together they went to try and steal from Saffron's Pokemart, but she soon discovered the one in Saffron was ideed decked out with security. While the two exited the Pokemart, Glacia noticed Galarian Meowth had stolen something: a Wooper Doll. A clerk quickly stormed out, assumidly mad about the doll, but then began to use the opportunity to flirt with her. The clerk, who's name was revealed to be Ezreal, then asked her to lunch. While Glacia wasn't interested in him, she'd take the opportunity to get a free meal.

#### Sugar & Spice Bistro

Seeing the place as a comfortable spot, ruled by Saffron's finest punk audience, Glacia couldn't help but consider this fine place as a possible recruitment spot. However, there was not time for scouting. She needed to....date now. As Ezreal showed off his best impression of a suave player, and Glacia attempted to play along, Ragnar would scheme around the bistro, a ticking time-bomb only kept in check by Glacia's occasional glances. However, he was recalled before he broke the place. The two rising trainers tiptoed around eachother's backstories, not wanting to reveal too much to the other. As the topic of possibly battling came up, Glacia made sure to inform Ezreal she wouldn't be holding back, and this his obvious attraction to her was a weakness she was willing to exploit. Ezreal mentioned he wasn't planning on standing in her way, and that he had a lot of training to do before he challenged any gym, let alone face her. Ezreal would then ask Glacia if she had a map on her, to which she denied. Ezreal, now having to return to work, offered to get her one once they made their way back to the Poke-Mart he worked at. Sweet, more free stuff. Ezreal payed for lunch, and the two were off.

After returning the Wooper-Doll to its rightful home, finally purchasing something for once and not stealing, and saying her goodbyes to Ezreal, Glacia returned to the bistro soon after. She hadn't forgotten about how good of an opportunity a place like this could present. She asked around the establishment for the meanest, toughest guy around. She was pointed to El Chino, a small, angry looking man that didn't look a day over 5, but could probably make you the baby if you made him mad enough. Glacia was determined, however. As soon as Glacia approached him, two tall men would stand behind her, casting a shadow over their little "get-together". El Chino was quick to threaten Glacia if she wasn't quick with an explanation.

Even under the pressure of being "iced", Glacia kept her cool. She challanged the boy-man to a Pokemon battle, a way for her to establish herself as a threat and symbol of respect. El Chino brushed her off and instead called for his "boys" to take care of her. Glacia sighed, but noticed something. El Chino had no Pokemon on him. She coughed a smirk and called him a pussy, the catalyst for the bistro rumble that had already been brewing. As she scavanged for whatever food El Chino left, Ragnar now dealt with a Loudred and Whirlipede combo, the three of which made a mess of the bistro the short time they got to fight before the fight was broken up. Although it was only a short scuffle, both Glacia and Ragnar proved themselves not to be underestimated, both to the crowds watching, and eachother.

#### Saffron Gym

After the battle at the Bistro, Glacia took El Chino's coffee, sipping it as Ragnar scavenged some sandwiches for them. After some searching around, she decided to finally tackle a great challenge... a gym challenge. She went over to the Saffron City Gym, to prove her worth. There, she met the Gym leader, Sabrina. After stepping in the green circle, she was ready to rumble.

The match was a 2v2 singles match, with no healing or item use. Glacia chose Vanice and Ragnar, and the first challenger was a Slowpoke. Glacia sent out Vanice to attack the Slowpoke, who made a Trick Room to confuse the cone. In said room, the speeds were reversed, with slower pokemon becoming faster. After Vanice was able to attack the Slowpoke with a super effective Astonish/Secret Power combination, he was put to sleep by a yawn. Glacia brought Vanice back, afraid that he was going to be obliterated, pulling out Ragnar. Slowpoke then fired with a future sight... but for some reason Sabrina couldn't see it going off. Ragnar continued attacking the Slowpoke, before being hit by a yawn... but then, when all hope seemed lost, Vanice's trick was revealed! His secret power had a chance to paralyze the Slowpoke, and it did! Ragnar hit the Slowpoke with one final metal slash, rendering it unable to battle!

Abra was thrown out next, and Glacia switched out Ragnar for Vanice, hoping Vanice could be woken up quickly. Vanice, despite his best efforts, was almost immediately annihilated. It was down to Ragnar. Ragnar fought well, but was battered with multiple psychic tendrils. Soon, the tendrils were replaced with shadow balls, ones that Ragnar had to dodge left and right... Until a shadow ball finally hit Ragnar... or so it seemed. Dust flew up everywhere, and from the dust... Ragnar flew up out of the dust cloud, slashing at Abra before it could teleport away, rendering it unconscious!

And thus, the story concluded. Glacia, with the sacrifice of Vanice and Ragnar's slashing, had finally won her first gym badge, that being the Marsh Badge. With the badge won, she left Saffron City, moving across Route 5 and for Cerulean, where she would commit one of her worst crimes yet. On her way to Cerulean, however, she made a secret base for herself by using Vanice's secret power to carve a hole into a rock structure. She slept there, for the night.

### **Pre Day 4**

#### Route 5

When she woke up, a Bellsprout was waiting, looking at her. She offered it a sandwich, and though it was scared of her, it took up her offer anyhow, taking the sandwich and scurrying off. Glacia exited her base, continuing on her journey to Cerulean City. Along the way, she had encountered a pidgey, which she sent out Vanice to defeat. Despite Glacia mistaking Protect for Harden, she was still able to command Vanice to victory, and take a new member into the party!

#### Cerulean City

After entering Cerulean City, Glacia entered a Pokemon Center. After she healed her pokemon, she released the Pidgey. That was a mistake, as the Pidgey pecked everyone's heads. She quickly caught the pidgey, Moving outside and asserting her dominance over it. She then returned the Pidgey and learned it's stats. She called the Pidgey "Penny", officially welcoming her to the team, and moved out of the pokemon center on her merry way, moving towards the Bike Shop. Little did she know that it would be the defining moment of her early career.

#### The Bike Shop Incident

Glacia entered the Miracle Cycle, looking for a bike. She was given a choice between a Mach Bike and an Acro Bike, but both had prices that were much too steep for her. Despite offering to work or battle to lower the price of bikes, or perhaps rent one. Of course, none of these were accepted by the bike shop owner, who seemed relatively reasonable despite his overtly inflated prices. Glacia then left the shop with a single "Ok." This was when everything went south. Glacia took Ragnar out of his pokeball, made him steal a bike from the shop, (Keeping him from attacking a familiar family of Bellsprouts as she did,) and they both absconded to her secret base. Glacia quickly changed her appearance, hoping that she wouldn't be immediately recognized when she went back into town.

#### Route 25

After that, she went back into town, headed to Nugget Bridge. Of course, it was early in the morning, so the challenge was not available to her at that time. Regardless, she passed the bridge, and went out towards route 25. While there, she found a shiny Horsea, which she released Penny to attack. Through a long battle where she ended up attacking the Horsea herself while Penny caught the pokemon with a great ball, she was able to catch a new teammate.
