>>55172406Fresh off the presses, made this specifically for this thread and based off a recent Emerald playthrough. Doodled in MS Paint.
Gerard is a young socialite born into money and with a passion for battling. He uses his family's wealth to collect the strongest mons from across the Hoenn Region in order to compete in tournaments and battle circuits all across the land. He doesn't actually train his own Pokemon--instead, he uses the vast resources at his disposal to "speed things along" and get to the important part. Once his prized mons are in his possession, his battling prowess quickly wins them over to his cause.
In his youth, he volunteered himself as one of Professor Birch's field aides, and traveled across the Hoenn Region with his partner Ralts to find the rare species that no one else could encounter. Gardevoir proved to be the most reliable teammate during his adventures abroad.
Gerard has the rare accolade of being among the select few Trainers in Hoenn to have not only caught a Feebas (having a troupe of retainers on his father's payroll helps) but successfully evolved it into a Milotic.
When he isn't competing in tournaments, Gerard uses his wealth to help fund and advance Professor Birch's research.
