Tor?
"On est là depuis une heure, Jen, et rien d'autre n'est arrivé. Peut-être qu'il est temps de rassembler les autres et d'avancer vers la forêt. Trouvez un joli type de Grass pour rejoindre l'équipe pendant un moment."
"Trère. C'est le keste!" Quoi? Je ne suis pas assez? La plus récente des acquisitions d'Alix a frappé son cimier à plumes alors qu'il s'est envolé. Alix commençait déjà à interpréter l'action comme étant similaire à un homme qui lève ses sourcils.
"Oh, détends-toi, Kestra, tu vas bien. Vous ne pouvez pas gérer certains types que je sais qu'on affrontera plus tard. » Kestra n'a pas répondu, au lieu de cueillir un petit tas d'herbe. Alix, cependant, s'étirait et s'approchait de ses pieds. "Ok, l'équipe, c'est l'heure de partir. Je ne peux pas rester assis sur la première route pour toujours." À ses mots, Jen s'est enfilée et s'est jetée sur la botte d'Alix, chirurguant et ramassant les lacets. C'était une jolie vue, si c'était une menace pour les nœuds. Alix a ramassé le petit type de feu, mais soupirait tout de même.
"Jen, je ne vais pas te porter tout le temps. Tu seras paresseux si tu ne cours pas un peu."
"Tor torchictor?"
"J'ai compris, nous sommes un nouveau partenariat, mais une fois que vous serez un grand Combusken fort, vous serez trop grand pour porter."
"Rrr." Jen ne semblait pas s'en soucier. Elle se mettait à l'aise. Alix s'est froissé les plumes avec sa main libre et a commencé, en demandant à Kestra de suivre. Le petit oiseau était rapide à ses talons, prenant parfois le vol sur de courtes distances à quelques pieds au-dessus de l'herbe. L'herbe devint bientôt la route, alors qu'Alix menait le chemin plus loin de la ville, vers les ponts enjambant la rivière. Elle a repéré plusieurs des autres le long du chemin, les agitant en passant.
Jusqu'à ce qu'elle franchisse l'un des ponts, quand elle entendit les bruits d'une bataille. Ato, lui aussi, se dépêchait d'enquêter, avec son Mareep en remorque. Alix, le plus rapide des deux, a été le premier à trouver Robyn debout là avec son Petilil dans ses bras, et un étranger debout à proximité avec ce qui semblait être un Pokémon de type Eau d'une sorte sur ses épaules.
"Bon alors. On dirait que tu t'es occupé de tout », a-t-elle remarqué avec un sourire.
"La première bataille est toujours l'une des plus difficiles. Je serai au bord de la forêt quand vous serez prêts." Ato s'est excusé, se retournant sur la route. Il a probablement juste voulu faire le voyage avec les anciens Trainers et en finir avec, Alix mused. Quoi qu'il en soit, le point que le groupe devrait se déplacer est resté.
Name: Alix Lily Pearce
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Appearance: Standing at exactly six feet in height, Alix shows the clear signs of a young Warrior in training: a reasonably strong physique, fit from years of training and exercise. She tends to dress in white, blue and silver, with several of her shirts decorated with the Pearce family emblem (the stylised head and plumes of an Altaria in mid-flight). Her hair, light brown, long and straight, resembles a hime cut (a common Sengun hairstyle), reaching just past her shoulders at its longest. Her eyes are a plain blue.
Alix can usually be found wearing a T-shirt, lightweight long pants, and solid-looking boots. She carries a large backpack to hold her gear, and wears a smaller satchel for her more frequently used items. A row of six empty catches are attached to the satchel's strap, designed to hold Poké Balls. Lastly, Alix wears a pair of fingerless leather gloves embroidered with a variation of the family emblem on the back; the usual Altaria imagery is backed by a hand-stitched Poké Ball logo in red and white.
Personality: Alix sees a challenge and takes it in her stride. This does not necessarily mean 'head-on' or 'too proud to back down'; learning martial arts exclusively for defensive purposes has instilled a sense of knowing when to pick one's battles. Alix tends to think tactically in the beginning of a match, aiming to either outmatch the opponent's speed or weather blows until she lands a match-winner. Once a plan gets into her head, however, she struggles to adapt if her opponent changes their tactics in response.
Socially, Alix is reasonably capable, but she has issues with the image she portrays; she's extremely attentive to how she looks. Why else would she fuss over her choice of clothing, or make a point of ensuring there's nothing out of place during her travels, as much as she does?
Profession: Alix has just become a Trainer, but is a Warrior first and foremost.
Talents: Alix has inherited the skills and abilities of Sengun's Warriors. This means that she can talk to certain species of Pokémon and understand them in the same manner as a Pokémon Empath (a rare type of Trainer who can understand Pokémon). All Warriors have one or two specialty types of Pokémon, and Alix is no exception. The Pokémon that she finds easiest to talk to belong to the Flying and Fighting types: those are her specialties. She has yet to form a Link with a Pokémon, however, and has not chosen a Warrior Skill.
Alix often displays an affinity for Flying or Fighting Pokémon, but it is entirely possible for her to link with Pokémon of most other types. However, she has difficulty approaching and battling Electric or Psychic types, as they are the two with the most direct opposition to her favoured types.
Other than her Warrior teachings, Alix has a solid education in a variety of subjects, and has several years of training in basic defensive martial arts for use in Warrior combat.
Starter Pokémon: Alix does not currently have a Pokémon with her, but she has reserved a Torchic to be collected at the Ilex Laboratories. Torchic's moves are Scratch and Growl, and her ability is Speed Boost.

Hometown: Eyria City, Eyria, Sengun

Biography:
The daughter of an Eyrian Warrior and a Trainer from Challena, Alix was quickly found to have inherited her father's Warrior capabilities. She grew up in Eyria's mountains and plateaus, watching bird Pokémon soar from the peaks in the north and treetops in the south, where Platinos' forestry reached into Eyria's lands. The family has an Altaria; the bond between a Pearce and an Altaria or Swablu is a long-running family trait.
From an early age, Alix was enrolled in Eyria's Feather Dance Dojo, where she learned her defensive martial skills over the years and trained in fitness. The Pearce family wasn't one for laziness. Between schoolwork, training and helping around the house, Alix was kept busy and out of trouble.
All Warriors have specialty types, indicating the species with which they work best. Alix didn't find out her own until the age of fourteen, after a sparring match against the family Hitmonchan that ended in a draw. She congratulated her opponent on fighting to a standstill, and was amazed to understand, more or less, the Hitmonchan's response. It was in the Pokémon's own language, of course, but Alix understood it.
Much like her father once described it, it was almost as if a light clicked on in her brain and she could perfectly translate the language. Quickly, Alix's parents introduced the teenager to Pokémon of other types: she found that, despite being a complete stranger, the Karea - a pure Flying-type - was the most receptive to her approach. And so Alix discovered her specialty types as a Warrior, and became eligible, in her parents' eyes, to take on the Pokémon League.
She chose not to begin the challenge, however, believing that she was too young and inexperienced to venture out into Sengun alone. Instead, she began to hone her skills further, doing research in her spare time to understand the abilities of a Warrior. Over the following years, she completed her classes at the Feather Dance Dojo, researched the history of Sengun, and studied the politics of Sengun's Ten Kingdoms, after having the fortune at age nineteen to meet Airryn Hawke, Queen of Eyria, herself.
So having prepared as best she could, Alix put in a call to the Ilex Laboratories a month after her twentieth birthday, reserving a Pokémon for pickup, and boarded an airship to Regala.
