It has been hundreds of years since the days when Team Eclipse terrorized the Mintel Region. The harmony between people and pokemon has been broken after a mysterious plague spread throughout the entire planet. All affected pokemon went into a berserk state, destroying everything in their path. Humanity was able to hold them off for a time with their own pokemon, but soon many of their own became affected. Humanity fled underground, hoping to flee from the same pokemon that were once their friends and partners.

In an effort to save the human species, a group of scientists created the pokemorphs, created with the stored DNA of pokemon mixed with human embryos. "Even if the human species is doomed, through these 'pokemorphs' our legacy can continue" said the scientists leading the project.

Mysteriously, as quickly as the plague started, it ended. As humanity left their underground homes, they found a world in ruin. Not only had the plague run its course, but all the pokemon affected had returned to normal. Humans re-forged the bonds they had with pokemon and the pokemorphs joined humanity in an effort to re-build a ruined region.

Yet, the humans resent the pokemorphs despite being their creators, and the pokemorphs in turn resent humanity. Pokemon have had a strangely negative reaction towards these strange new mixtures of their own DNA with that of humanity. Reconstruction has been slow, and crime is running rampant. Can the three groups of humanity, pokemorphs, and pokemon rebuild a ruined world? Or will the tensions between them tear them apart?

Trainer Information

Name: Joseph Wilkes (Prefers "Joey")
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Species: Pokemorph (Lucario)
Appearance: Joey looks more human than he does pokemon, and since his species is one of the more humanlike ones he doesn't look too different from most humans. His most noticeable feature is two blue Lucario ears sticking out from the top of his head. He has short blue hair and red eyes similar to a Lucario's. He is rather tall and thin, but surprisingly lithe and strong. Fur covers parts of his body such as his arms, legs, and torso. He also has a short blue tail.

Most of his pokemon-like traits are covered up by his outfit, however. Joey tends to wear a white shirt and a blue jacket. He tends to wear jeans, but occasionally he wears black slacks. He has two pieces of clothing he can't live without: a blue baseball cap with two holes cut in it for his ears, and a pair of black gloves.
Personality: Joey can be described as a never-ending fountain of energy. He is eternally optimistic and has the philosophy that with enough spirit, it's possible to achieve anything. Joey never, ever gives up, whether it's a friendly competition or when something is at stake. The one thing he despises more than cowardice is self-pity. He will not hesitate to tell people what he thinks of them, and can come off as rather blunt and insensitive.

Joey gives his all in whatever he does, and expects others to follow. He is incredibly passionate about what he does, and has dedicated his life to helping restore the Mintel region. Others may write him off as idealistic and maybe a little stupid, but Joey shrugs that off. He simply is who he is, and he refuses to allow himself to follow the expectations of others. His main weakness is the fact that he will often exert himself too much and his stubbornness can often override his good sense.

Deep down, however, Joey's heart aches for his home and his parents. He is determined to never let anyone have to go through what he's had to go through, and he wants to work to make post-plague Mintel a better place for everyone.
History: Joey is a second-generation pokemorph whose parents were both pokemorphs. He and his parents lived in one of the underground camps that were built during the plague, and lived with pokemon for much of his life. It was a fine life for a while. Joey learned much from his father and was a spirited youth even then. However, one day disaster struck.

Joey had been playing outside with his charmander, Scorch, when a cave-in occured above his parents' home. Joey and Scorch had managed to survive, but he found out his parents had not after finding their bodies in the rubble. He was at a loss for words. He had never thought in his wildest imagination that this could happen.

The Mintel Reconstruction project arrived later to clean up the mess. There, Joey had a life-changing talk with one of the people there. He had poured out his story to one of the workers hoping to hear something that could help him get through this crisis. The worker listened intently and made his reply.

"I can't claim to understand what you're going through, kid. I'm not going to say I know how you feel, and I can't promise what I say will help cheer you up. Let me just say, though, that where you go from here is what makes all the difference. I have a friend who suffered something similar, and he made something out of himself. When you're done grieving, I want you to promise me that you'll rise above this situation and improve someone's life. It would make your parents proud. "

This wasn't what Joey wanted to hear at that moment, but he understood later what the man was trying to tell him. He spent a year or two living with his aunt before deciding to become a trainer so that he could use his abilities at raising pokemon to help others.
