## History

King was born to a Royal family on a small island near Alola called Hau'lei. However he was not the firstborn and so he was not set to be the next king. From a young age he was enamored with Alola's league battles and would constantly watch them on Television. He pleaded with his father to allow him to pursue his dream. At age seven his father finally gave in and sent him to learn with the nearest professor, being Kukui. Kukui taught him everything he knows about Pokémon battles. When King was 13, Kukui sent him to the league to deliver a package to Hau, the champion at-the-time. On his way up the mountain he found a little Vulpix that was scared and hurt and he nursed her back to health. Ever since then he and Aurora have been inseparable and the best of friends. KIng Currently has defeated a spirit of Greed, 6 Gyms, and has a Normal Beauty and Cute Contest Ribbon, as well as a Super Cool Contest Ribbon

## Appearance

King is a very, almost unfathomably attractive young man with black medium-length spiky hair, the sides of his head are shaved to skin length. He can be seen wearing designer shades and clothing covered with a hardy leather jacket.

## Personality

King is a driven young man, almost to a fault. He is intense but equally as caring if you get through his hard shell. He cannot stand violence or mistreatment of Pokémon, fighting hard against the injustices of such behavior. Because of this he has nursed many of the Pokémon that he calls friends back to health when they were injured or sick.

## Partner Pokémon

His Pokémon are many and include; Alolan Ninetales(Mega), Dragapult, Metagross(Mega), Milotic(shiny, Water/Dragon), Jolteon, Infernape, Gyarados(Water/Dragon), Salazzle, Fraxure(shiny, Dragon/Steel), Dracozolt, Garchomp, Tyrunt, Bagon, Falinks, Aerodactyl(Dragon/Flying), Frogadier, Rillaboom, Grovyle, Skarmory, Lucario, Toxtricity, Hatena, Lycanroc-Dusk, Hakomo-O(Totem), Duraludon, Charmeleon, Basculin(White-Striped), Hisuian-Zorua, Trapinch, Horsea, and Starmie to name a few.

## Allies

King has many people he calls an ally or he just flat-out has a crush on. These characters are; Professor Kukui, Professor Rosewood, Aileen, Flynn, Eika, Alice, Melody, Mimi, and Fiona.

After repeated interactions with Gym Leader Iyrys in various quests, she and King have developed a bit of a mutual crush/admiration for one another.

## Enemies

King is a pretty decent person to get along with, there are few people he considers worth of either his ire or his frustration. Currently only Team Hoop has his Ire, but admittedly he spends most of his time dealing with his business or training his pokemon.

## Goals and Dreams

King is a simple man, he has but three goals. 1. To become Kairos League Champion to make a name for himself. 2. to broadcast Pokémon battles and contests for all to see across the isles. 3. To potentially meet a pretty young woman to form a romantic relationship with.

## Important Quest Happenings

This section lists interesting things that happened to King during quests.

### The First New Friends

In the first quest chain King encountered some friends that he still has with him. The first Friend he met was an Eevee, he had a broken leg and King made a make-shift splint to help the little guy out. After repeated visits to the pokemon center, Eevee grew to trust King and joined him. Although Eevee has evolved to become a Jolteon, he still like to snuggle up to King.

During this time, King also met a curious Shroomish, who joined King only because he had food. Shroomish doesn't care much for fighting, preferring to stay at home and each all of King's food.

After investigating a noise in the Pokemon Village, King came across a Riolu, She had a bag full of trinkets that were broken or defunct. King promised that he would find a way to fix them if she came with him. Riolu eventually evolved and is one of his closest friends.

At the end of his first Quest, King and the others he was travelling with decided to fish to catch pokemon. Oathrender was getting unlucky, so King stopped to cheer him on. Oathrender got a shiny Feebas while King was cheering him on! Oathrender thought that the Feebas was sick, and King asked if he could have it instead. Not seeing any issue with it, Oathrender gifted him the pokemon. Feebas is now a Milotic and she loves coiling herself around King.

### Trek Through the Safari

When the Safari Zone opened, King jumped at the opportunity, he had three encounters while there that really stuck out to him. The first of which, he found a Hisuian Basculin, sleeping at the bottom of a stream. After quietly swimming to it, he was able to catch it. The second encounter was a massive Totem Relicanth, who attacked him after he took an egg, The egg after hatching turned out to be a Totem Jangmo-O, which has since evolved. The final encounter was a Wingull whom had a Soul Dew in its mouth. King chased the thing down, knowing that that item does not belong to it. When King caught the creature it dropped the item and King snatched it. He hopes one day that he will be able to return the item to the Latios or Latias that it belongs to.

### Team Hoop Emerges

After Team Hoop emerged, King leapt into action, wanting to keep the islands safe from their tyranny. He defended Sanctuary from some Team Admins before rushing over to Zidrane. He heard that Kyogre emerged and he wanted to protect Iyrys specifically since he likes her and she is a friend to him. During the fight with Kyogre, he noticed that things were going bad for his pokemon and his allies Finris, Fredrick, and Briar. He noticed the huge cannon that was set up next to them and he investigated it, determining that it would work if you used a Mega Stone. After telling everyone this, Fred handed him a Mega Stone and he fired the cannon, Causing Groudon to emerge. While King was initially afraid that he made everything worse, he was pleasantly surprised when the Groudon started listening to him. With Groudon's help, they were able to defeat Kyogre and King gained a new Friend in the form of little Manaphy.
