Story Version: Platinum, right?
Name: William Bungus
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Appearance: Short, light brown hair, narrow hazel eyes, nondescript glasses. Typical outfit consists of grey cargo pants, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a grey knit sweater.
Height/Weight: about as tall and heavy as a Pidgeot. (4'11" / 87 lbs.)
Personality:
William treats everybody as equals and forgets that it can be rude to just approach someone very important. He's very friendly. Sometimes it's because he's enthusiastic and wants to meet someone, sometimes it's because he's been taught "it's just the right thing to do."
William is sometimes extremely energetic and sometimes gets easily bored, but sometimes he can have incredible focus when he's investigating something he's interested in. Mostly, that's fungus.
A self-described "weird kid," William doesn't really fit in with his peers and has spent a lot of time alone thinking about social skills, rather than practicing them. He is a philosopher that wants to get along with everybody.
He sometimes experiences claustrophobia, and sometimes can be a crybaby.

Backstory:
1. Family:
William has an older brother, a Pokémon trainer that he used to look up to, but hasn't seen for years. His dad isn't around much and he doesn't get along well with his mom. She tells him that he isn't good enough and will never live up to his brother's accomplishments. William spends most of his time out of the house, mostly in the woods looking for mushrooms.
2. Pokemon experience:
William once found a wounded Paras in the woods and visited it daily to attend to it: covering it in forest floor debris and misting it lightly with a spray bottle. Eventually the life drained from its eyes and it evolved into a strong healthy Parasect.
3. Past experience that has defined your character:
Some Pokémon rangers came to his summer camp for some kind of drug-abuse education demonstration. When they brought out cool grass types to illustrate a point, all of William's focus went out the window and he could only watch the Amoongus throwing poison spores. He tried to collect them from the ground once the presentation was over. He made himself very sick and had to be taken home from the camp.
4. Special Talents:
William is good at building a camp site, finding a way through wilderness, and typing knots -- general Cubchoo Scout stuff.
Special Pokemon: (I know it said the restriction was Kanto Pokémon but we're in Sinnoh, so...?) Parasect. It would be handy to have!
Personal Goals:
William wants to start his own mushroom farm and is interested in talking to people who have started their own business. He also has starry-eyed dreams of becoming a Pokémon Ranger, in the same way a child might imagine themselves as a skateboarding firefighter or a robot with swords for arms.
Pet Peeves:* being ignored, people with big egos who are all talk and no action, thankless jobs.

Drawing or Writing: probably drawing >__> writing maybe.
Contest Starter: I'll still need to write it, but it'll be Tepig!
Other notes: I'd like to start as having met the local Prof! But I'm ok with not having a gym badge at this point. It's a little thing but I guess it's not a big deal.
