New Trainer {} Seasoned Trainer {} RTF {} Team Rocket {} Gym Leader {X} Elite Four {}
Region and Town of Origin: Bohren, Crescent Beach City
Character's Pokemon, if not new: Marill, Lanturn, Azumarill, Ludicolo, Altaria, Floatzel, Kabutops
Character Personality: Skyler is the very definition of 'laid-back.' As a child, she never had to do anything herself and everything was given to her. While traveling she learned to be a bit more self-reliant and she's very world-wise now where she was naive before, but she tends to express it in an uncaring and sometimes dismissing manner. She loves her pokemon and she loves battling, but she almost loves surfing more than either of those things put together. She's extremelypassionate about the ocean. Her solution to any life challenge is to "let it roll off your back, man."
However, Skyler is not stupid. At times she can be somewhat dense but thinking she can be talked around or down to will only get her to sic one of her pokemon on you. She's great at manipulating the system, which is why she uses weather as a battle tactic. Never call her a cheater.
Character History: Skyler received her Azurill from her father when she was a little girl. She wasn't a trainer then, just a slightly bored, spoiled rich resort kid who had a penchant for wandering around the beach and picking up other people's surfboards. She battled with Azurill sometimes but usually only when they ran into Magikarp. She competed in surfing contests and her Azurill always swam with her, but after one competition where she was accused of using Azurill to cheat, she quit competitive surfing. Azurill blamed itself and became very depressed, and Skyler decided the best thing to help it would be to take it on the Bohren League Challenge. Azurill evolved into Marill after defeating the Ground gym, regaining confidence in itself. Skyler was very proud of it but never pressured it, since Skyler doesn't know the meaning of the word 'pressure.' After a long, hard-fought battle at the Poison gym (now Ghost gym) Marill evolved into Azumarill. Azumarill is the 'taskmaster' of Skyler's pokemon, and keeps them in line because Skyler is mostly too lazy to.
After winning the eight badges of the League, Skyler decided to return home and take a well-deserved vacation. Upon coming back to Crescent Beach City, she found that Alexis, who was the gym leader, was leaving to take her place among the Elite Four. Skyler put in her bid to become the gym leader of the town - it is not required to defeat the Elite Four to become a gym leader. Unbeknownst to her, the League thinks she's dumb as sand and didn't want her becoming a leader - until her father made a few very pointed phone calls about funding. Skyler was instated leader of the Crescent Beach City Gym.
She has always been a talented battler - she battles more on instinct than anything else, and has discovered that water pokemon thrive in the rain. All her teams are built to exploit Rain Dance, and most of her pokemon have the Swift Swim ability. She is very understanding with her pokemon, and won't force them to battle if they don't want to. This, combined with the fact that she is never in her gym, makes league challengers very angry with her.
