Welcome to Gaia! ::

Age: 20

History: Raised within Viridian City, Brandon had a nice, quiet life. He spent many a year just, well, chilling out. He was one of the smarter kids in school, and even held a pen pal in a different region. Somewhere around his 8th year of school, he had been recommended to be a Gym Leader. The closest inspiration he could find was a man who called himself G. He never told the apprentice his real name, but it didn't bother Brandon. All that had got him was that G had told him he was going to grant him power.

After several years of training, G had mysteriously disappeared. He hadn't told anyone where he went, not even Brandon. This forced Brandon to go out on his own. He spent months training the Ground-type that was introduced to him from G. This was until he had met a man named Steven. Even though Brandon held an advantage, Steven had just tossed his Pokemon aside in a battle. The power of Steel had intrigued him, so he decided to stop his Ground training and go through with the metal chaos. Steven started his training by giving him a Pokemon. Nodding, Brandon thanked his former pen pal, and started off on building his Beldum, Arach's, strength.

Brandon traveled to Hoenn, hearing that a nice supply of Steel types were held there. From there, the traveled East of Fallarbor, catching a vital member of his starting team. He taught Aeronautic how to Fly, just before he moved to Dewford. Within the Granite Cave, he met his next Pokemon, which became the backbone of his team. Ringo took time training, but was worth it when he became a Lairon. During their training, Brandon had caught Compass and Sparticus.

Somewhere along the way, Brandon met a Scientist. He was attempting to create the first cyborg Pokemon. A robot with a capabilities of a Pokemon. Full use of moves, getting stronger, even evolving. Unfortunately, George, or G30-RG3, was a failure. Too much Pokemon part to it, thus leading it to experience heightened feeling and pain from it's more metallic parts. Brandon took the experiment to show the Scientist that he could still be useful, even though he felt more pain than a normal Pokemon. After that meeting, Brandon held a full team, thus he decided to head off to Sinnoh.

There in Sinnoh, he learned that if you train a Nosepass or a Magneton in Mount Coronet, they would evolve into stronger versions. This brought his Probopass and his Magnezone into play, even snagging Grim and Scylla on his visit. After such, Brandon couldn't seem to find another good Steel type. He knew there had to be more, so he started to do some research. He found several Pokemon that he never would've guessed held a Steel typing after evolution.

He spent hours upon hours lathering trees with Honey in an attempt to find a Pineco, before finally succeeding and catching a the small Bagworm Pokemon. Upon his searches for others, he came across a Trainer searching for a Munchlax. When he was looking for Paul, he came across and caught a Munchlax. Taking advantage of this, he traded it for a Scyther, which immediately evolved into a Scizor named John. A bit later, he came across the Pokemon Steelix, and through a quick trade and trade-back, he obtained his own.

At his current point, he held 10 Steel typed Pokemon. Forretress, Aggron, Magnezone, Probopass, Metagross, Skarmory, Mawile, Scizor, Bronzong, and Steelix. With two spots left, he needed to find a pair of good Pokemon that could round off his team. While reading, he found Empoleon, the Water/Steel type starter of the Sinnoh region. It was unfortunate, although. Since he wasn't from Sinnoh, he couldn't get the Piplup he needed. Although, he managed to find someone who would get him the Piplup while he searched for his final Pokemon. Agreeing, they parted ways and the man said he would be in Canalave when he was done.

While the man worked, Brandon did extensive researching, finding a defensive ancient Pokemon. Through a bit more research, he found someone who could revitalize fossils. He spent a couple of months digging within the mines of Oreburgh, eventually finding and revitalizing his Shieldon, Blockage, which soon evolved into Bastiodon. With this done, he headed off to Canalave to claim his Piplup. He met up with the man, and once the exchange was done, he ran off like the wind. Brandon's confusion was lifted when he was chased down by the cops. He took refuge in Johto for the time, becoming the second spot of the Elite Four to hide from the Sinnoh police. He changed his look, dyed his hair, and picked up a small accent. He was hoping to keep from being caught until he died, well, if he was lucky.
