I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST,

HEIGHT: 5''8'
WEIGHT: 114.6 lbs.
APPEARANCE: Liam is a freak of nature.  Apart from his usually strong muscled and fair skinned brothers and sister, the youngest of the Mandrake line has pure milk white skin, a short dusting of dark chocolate brown hair that spreads about his scalp in a thin covering of tangles and curls, and deep brown eyes that separate him in every single way possible from the rest of his family.  He quite honestly looks as if he came from another family entirely, and lacks the thick and strong build that his brothers have, and the naturally perfectly carved facial features that his sisters have.  Liam's stature is slim and agile, mostly made of bone rather than muscle.  The young adolescent looks nothing like his mother or father either, and more often than not, outsiders will mistake him for a separate child entirely.  Liam travels lightly, with a simple green backpack to store everything he needs in his journey, the classical belt strapped tightly to his waist to carry his Pokemon partners, and light tan khaki shorts, along with a t-shirt that is most commonly blue, but the shade may very depending on his mood.  He wears simple sneakers, not bothering to worry about how he looks, only wearing what prohibits travelling around the least.

TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST,

HISTORY How Liam exactly became a Pokemon Trainer and ended up in the Shiara region where he is today is completely unknown to his mother and father.  Being the youngest of the children, the only one left at home besides his ten year old sister-the last in their long line of seven children-Liam was living a normal life, growing up helping out around the house with chores, and going to school like a normal child would.  But one thing fascinated him about his education, and that was the aspect of Pokemon.  He didn't care how or what, but anything that involved Pokemon in any way fascinated and thrilled him to extreme limits, to the point where he would be caught daydreaming when he should be studying, and his academics suffered because of this.  Soon, Liam expressed his desires to his father and mother one night, who simply laughed at him and told him he had gone a bit crazy from the lack of sleep recently.  Liam was hurt by his parents' words, but he only swallowed his words and slipped back into his normal life.  Yet the burning desire to be around Pokemon did not leave him, and he continued to nurture many fantasies about his life when he was older, centered around his loyal partners.  Roughly two weeks after Liam had first expressed interest in Pokemon, his uncle came to visit the home.  Liam's uncle was a travelling merchant, who scoured all kinds of landscapes to sell many wares.  But Liam was more entranced by the notion that his uncle carried three select Poke Balls with him each time he came, latched firmly onto a black belt that was strapped tightly to his waist.  Liam knew they contained his uncle's loyal partners, and he would beg tirelessly for his uncle to release one of those Poke Balls, so that Liam might be able to see his uncle's partners.  In the past visits, Liam's uncle had always turned him down with a careful laugh and wave, saying 'they're too exhausted from the hike over here'.  Liam had been forlorn, but his uncle's fascinating tales had soon brought a smile to the boy's face again.  This time was no different, the same as usual, but that night, Liam headed out into the garden like always to find something utterly life changing waiting for him.  There, next to one of the fountains that sprayed light and cool mist over the garden to promote growth of the vibrant green vegetation, lay the shape of a small and battered Pokemon.  Liam recognized it immediately as a Snivy.  They were quite common in the woods around his little town, and so it was not unnatural to see the small Pokemon wandering through town.  But this one was injured-and badly.  Liam could see the small and frail Pokemon was weakened beyond the point of being able to move anymore, and the tiny Pokemon had collapsed onto the fountain side, breathing slightly.  Liam didn't know what to do.  But his uncle emerged from behind him moments later, with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes.  He handed Liam a small blue berry, and gestured toward the small Pokemon.  Liam understood what his uncle was telling him-to give the small berry to the injured Snivy.  Liam's uncle watched him with great calm as the child fed the injured Pokemon the restorative berry, and his uncle stayed there to watch the Snivy climb into Liam's arms and go to sleep.  The boy was so shocked that he doesn't recall the rest of the night, only that his uncle took him back inside with that Snivy, and the next morning he was off travelling with his uncle, to the land of Shiara, where his uncle claimed he could fulfill all of his dreams.

TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE,

NONA

Snivy - Female - level 07 - Rash - Overgrow
Nona was Liam's first Pokemon.  Found injured and beaten beyond the limit, rendering her inable to move at all, the tiny Snivy had laid down on the egde of a fountain, hoping for a calm and quiet death, when Liam and his uncle came along.  With a berry in hand from his uncle, Liam managed to keep the small Snivy stable as he fed her the berry.  Grateful to this young boy for saving her life, the Snivy climbed into his arms, and fell asleep almost instantly.  The next morning, the duo were off travelling with Liam's uncle toward the region of Shiara, and already forming a bond that would last them forever.
