        UNOVA   BEGINNINGS:       Blood & Badges     //    
 
Born into a rich family residing in Castelia Town, Felix was a spoiled child. His family owned a home in Undella town which they frequently stayed at. Young Felix met the Sinnoh region's newly crowned Champion, Cynthia and was enamored. Cynthia playfully goaded the child to attempt the Unovan Gym Challenge. Inspired, Felix took Pokémon from his parents to pursue his newfound goal: to become a champion. This dream came to an abrupt end, failing to brute force a second victory and was ridiculed by spectators. The Gym Guide pointed heartbroken Felix in the direction of the Battle Subway in Nimbasa, suggesting he try and train there. He met Emmet and Ingo outside the facility who immediately tried to weigh him up. A battle ensued, resulting in another loss for Felix despite Ingo holding back. Felix snuck onboard anyway, suffering another defeat. Emmet approached the boy from behind, telling him he'd never be worthy using "Daddy's Pokémon".A familiar face approached Felix, re-introducing himself as Arthur who shared the same preschool as him and also struggled to win battles. The pair agreed to become stronger together and that capturing their own Pokémon was vital. Felix caught a Minccino named Sky and met up with Arthur in Straiton City's Trainer School. The troublesome pair shot through their grades and a girl named Maia was often dragged into their antics. Felix learned a Shiny Stone was required to evolve his beloved Sky, and left for Wellspring Cave in hopes of finding one. Sky mistook the glowing core of a Boldore as the stone which awoke and enraged the nearby mother Gigalith. Felix turned toward his shrieking Pokémon to witness the Gigalith crush Sky in an explosion of blood and gore that splashed the boy. A Drilbur appeared before the terrified-stiff child and ushered him out of the cave before the enraged Pokémon could cause any more harm. It followed the distraught Felix and refused to leave his side, even after they were found by Arthur and Maia after they heard he'd gone to brave the cave alone.The pair encouraged Felix to continue, promising that the three of them would be invincible together. They built teams from nearby areas and made sure never to venture off alone. The exploration lead them to discover how terrifying and dangerous predators in the Pokémon world can be, landing themselves in life-threatening situations. Felix stopped attending trainer school and meeting with his friends to pursue the Battle Subway once again under the alias of 'Sinder'. The unconventional battle style was addictive, and he earned a name for himself. Arthur and Maia 'graduate' from the school and corner Sinder to remind him of their promise to defeat the gym challenge. A friendly battle between the trio begins, and it is revealed that Sinder is far stronger than both of them now.Departing to earn a 6th badge, Arthur wanted to return to Relic Castle after he heard fossils had been sighted. Maia is all for it, but Sinder is reluctant but follows anyway. As they explored the depths, Maia was caught in a sand trap and sucked through. The two boys split up in panic to find where she fell to. The girl had fallen into a tomb where a Druddigon had made its nest. Disturbed, the beast lashed out and threw Maia into a wall; her Sawsbuck leaped from its ball to halt the second charge which resulted in its antlers being ripped from its skull. Sinder managed to fight his way to the tomb, to watch the Druddigon slash through Maia and hurl her across the room. Reuniclus and Excadrill were immediately set upon the dragon; the rest of his Pokémon out of commission as Sinder ran to his friend.Barely alive, she offered last words and tried to hand over her cherished necklace, but Sinder convinced her that she'd be okay as he left her to deal with the Druddigon. A terrified Arthur eventually made it after being chased by a Yamask carrying a mask he assumed to be Maia. His Stoutland managed to create an opening for Excadrill and Reuniclus to topple a crumbling pillar onto the beast and knock it unconcious. The pair returned to the lifeless body of Maia. Filled with regret and blind hope they carried the body out of the castle where a nurse announced her dead. Arthur blamed himself for her death because it was his idea. Sinder blamed himself because he wasn't strong or fast enough to defeat the Druddigon.Sinder continued the gym challenge and explored the region fully with Arthur, constant battles with each other ended with Sinder having the upperhand. The pair were turned away from Victory Road due to Alder disappearing. The pair retired back to Nimbasa where Sinder introduced Arthur to the Battle Subway who didn't enjoy it so they parted ways until the league re-opened. Ingo and Emmet invited Sinder to the 'underground' ring where the Subway took a horrific and barbaric turn. Death became routine as Trainers brawled and Pokémon battled to death or submission. Sinder barely mourned the loss of many partner Pokémon as they were 'too weak' if they fell in combat. Battling became a priority over sleep and the man earned the title of 'Subway Butcher', keeping even the notorious Subway Bosses on their toes.Exposure to underground rings lead to an inevitable offer to earn money by selling his capability as both a fighter, and a trainer on an international level and explore other regions. Sinder required the title of 'Champion' to go international, but he had put-off facing the League since obtaining the 8th badge. Arthur returned and informed Sinder that Alder had returned and he no longer needed to throw himself at the Subway. Racing through the famed Victory Road, Arthur awaited at the end of the route to challenge Sinder, believing that he was stronger, and could outsmart his rival. Sinder proved to be too powerful and unpredictable, barely using a third Pokémon and reminded Arthur that he would never be too weak to save his friends ever again, and made a promise that they would both become Champions for Maia.With Arthur on the sidelines, Sinder challenged the Elite 4 - the most powerful trainers in Unova; excluding the Champion himself. A dominating performance was roadblocked yet again by Alder who had abandoned his post for reasons unknown. Roaming Unova, Sinder sold his services to those willing to pay. Black markets, military, or regular civilians. A chance encounter with Alder in the Giant Chasm, had an enraged Sinder ambush him and deliver a terrifying ultimatum: title shot, or die in the chasm. Unable to negotiate, Alder accepted and the pair returned to the Pokémon League where Sinder emerged victorious having outsmarted the champion and his terrifying Volcarona.Before departing ways with Arthur for the foreseeable future, Sinder reminded him of some unfinished business: a grudge match with a Druddigon. Relic Castle shook violently as Sinder's team mercilessly obliterated the monster and torched the half-alive corpse. Pulling Maia's pendant from his pocket, Sinder felt a weight off his shoulders for avenging her death.Now free to leave Unova, the mercenary left for lands unknown in search of strength and wealth.

        UNOVA   RETURN:       Black City, White Lies     //    
 
Having caught the attention of Ghetsis from Team Plasma; Sinder returned to his home region where it all began. They supplied a partially armoured attire in order to mask his identity. Hired initially as a back-up should the unspecified plan of his employer go south, Sinder was eventually tasked in assisting Team Plasma rallies that followed days after N's appearance in each city to foresee trainers releasing their Pokémon, and intervene if there was retaliation. Under his watch, many trainers and their Pokémon were torn from each other peacefully, or by any means necessary to fall into compliance with Ghetsis' vision. Between rallies, Sinder escorts squads of grunts and many of the Seven Sages to their destinations after word that a group of young trainers are stirring up their plans, but is instructed to leave upon each arrival as he will be required elsewhere immediately to keep the ball rolling.An urgent mission for all-hands-on-deck arose concerning Twist Mountain. With the arrival of Sinder, the entire mountain was locked down, which granted Plasma enough time to complete the 'critical' objective that was undisclosed to him. His Rival Arthur made an attempt to dismantle the operation, but was met with Sinder and all hell broke loose between the pair, revealing Sinder's true identity. Unable to deliver the final blow to his friend, Sinder healed Arthur's Beheeyem to have it teleport him away. Ghetsis revealed the grand plan had come to fruition, and the funds had already been transferred into Sinder's account, and encouraged the mercenary to return his armour and take his leave in fear that he may turn against Plasma should he be present for the finale.Two brief years after the downfall of Team Plasma, Sinder received a surprising contract for Plasma once again, under Colress instead of Ghetsis. A black armour set is gifted to the mercenary, revealed to have a 'Colress Machine' built into it. The scientist took interest in Sinder's strength and questioned what makes him and his Pokémon strong. Not giving a meaningful answer, Sinder told Colress that "weakness is a crime". To weigh Sinders strength, Colress asked him to pick a singular Pokémon to be used in a combat experiment. Sinder's Arcanine was pitted against a terrifying mechanical predator - a Genesect. The canine defeated the construct, allowing Sinder the capture it to Colress' disappointment.Sinder was to reacquaint himself with the region as Unova had evolved drastically in the past two years, but was to leave his new uniform until afterwards. The Elite 4 and various Gym Leaders - including some that Sinder had grow close to - interrupted his exploration. Informing the mercenary of the events following his departure two years ago, they offered to buy out his services to work against Plasma from inside and drop all charges against him as the international police were on his case. Sinder agreed to their terms, and promised to make things right. Some of the gym leaders took this as an opportunity to catch up with the mercenary and escorted him around parts of the region while he expanded on his own team.Colress then sent Sinder to assassinate Rood - a sage that has gone rogue, believed to be hiding in Driftveil while Colress took his Genesect for a test-run and a distraction to keep the attention away from Sinder. Upon arrival, Arthur spied his rival and sought to intercept him for revenge. Sinder informed Rood that he must seek shelter elsewhere and that Colress sent him to assassinate him. As Sinder left the house, he was ambushed by Arthur and the rift between them grew with Sinder casting him aside, unable to tell the truth. A fight broke out between the pair, giving Sinder the perfect excuse for Colress as they reformed at the Cold Storage.Zinzolin was found inside the facility and claimed to have captured the Legendary Dragon Kyurem, which Sinder overheard on his approach to the pair. Colress knew this, and began making preparations to deal with the potential of Sinder turning against Plasma now that Ghetsis plan was in motion once again. To keep the mercenary occupied, Colress had him assist with transforming the Forces of Nature trio into their Therian forms. Sinder keep them occupied as Colress used the Reveal Glass mirror, and set them loose on the region.The Plasma Frigate was now fully operational and took flight with Kyruem powering it. With Ghetsis now revealed to be behind it all, he began to freeze over the region city by city. As Sinder prepared to fight back against Plasma, his armour locked up; rendering him completely immobile as Colress activated the Colress Machine within the armour and transported the mercenary onto the frigate where he was to be imprisoned and abused for his attempted betrayal. As they flew over the Giant Chasm where Ghetsis was to enact his plan of baiting N to return and fuse the Legendaries together, Sinder was thrown overboard, plummeting toward certain death. He was saved last minute by Skyla, who had been trailing the ship with Arthur in attempt to board it.With Team Plasma dissolved for good and still recovering from his wounds, Sinder remained in the region to assist with the recovery of the region. As an an extra reward, he was granted access to Black City and White Forest where he'd challenge their battle facilities before departing his beloved home region once again - never straying too long.
