Name: Molly Ann Franklin

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Description: Molly is rather short only standing about 5 feet. She has what people would call icy blue eyes though she wouldn't know because she can’t see very well, though she’s not considered to be legally blind. She does wear glasses when doing certain things but most of the time she doesn't. She’s got chestnut brown hair that’s in a pixie cut. She can usually be found in a t-shirt and track pants. Depending on what she wears her shoes will usually match.

Personality: Due to her years of training she had built this strong front to her and refuses to let her size get in the way. If someone tells her she can’t do it she’ll shove them out of the way and show them how it’s done. She’ll be the first one to want to help but if you double cross her you better watch your back. She doesn't forget what one has done to her. Don’t let her seriousness fool you she can be fun and outgoing once you get to know her.

Background: She was born and raised in Vermillion City of the Kanto region. She was always “different” because she couldn't see very well and was made fun of in school. Her parents did the best to encourage her. When she first started running off her parents presented her with an Eevee in hopes that having a Pokemon as a friend would help her out. Though when things got tough for her she would run away though it wasn't very far. At first her parents would worry but once they realized where she was running off to they just waited for her to come home. Where was she running off too? The Vermillion City Gym. She would sneak in to watch Lt. Surge take on the trainers that would come to challenge him for the Thunder Badge. After many attempts to sneaking in she finally got caught a few years later. She explained her story and why she would sneak in. She asked if he would be willing to train her after showing him her Eevee. He told her it would be nothing but hard work and drills and that he wouldn't go easy on her and she agreed.

After years of hard work, determination and the will to never give up she worked her way up through the ranks and became one of the trainers of the Gym. By this time she had evolved her Eevee into Jolteon and caught, raised and evolved her Magnemite into a Magneton. She would train out near the caves and this is where she caught her Diglett and trained it into a Dugtrio. It was through Dugtrio that she learned her seismic senses. Dugtrio would burrow underground and she would learn to follow Dugtrio by feeling the movements in the ground. She would meet her Braviary as a lone little Rufflet who had strayed from his nest. Unlike her other Pokemon Rufflet went after her out of defense but couldn't fly away. It took a few days but she was able to catch Rufflet and mend his injured wing. Once he was well enough to be released she tried to do so but instead wanted to be with her.

She was talking with Lt. Surge and he was telling her about the problems that were starting to happen. She was starting to notice the increased amount of Grimers, Muks, Trubbish and Garbodors starting to appear near the Harbor. She had found out that one of the oil tankers had exploded and that’s what was causing the increased amounts of Poison Pokemon. This is where she was able to capture a Garbodor. She had expressed her concerns that she needed to help end whatever was going on. Lt. Surge being a man of the army understood where she was coming from and gave his approval.

Pokemon: Jolteon, Magneton, Dugtrio, Braviary and Garbodor

Other: Because of her not being able to see very well she uses her other senses. Most notably her acute hearing and seismic sense. (Please see Toph Beifong for a better understanding on seismic senses.)
