Ok, so the backstory kinda dragged on a bit.. I just wrote whatever came to mind and so here we are! I figured I'd eventually explain who she is and such down the road.<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Hibana Tenjou<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/tenjouanthy/1338924558702.png)</div></div><strong>Specialization:</strong>Fighting<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Bi-Curious<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Quite wild. When Hibana gets pumped up, everyone knows it and loves it. She knows how to get trainers amped up to really get into their battles with her. Hibana is the type to strike while the iron's hot, but can be flustered if you manage to put her in a tight spot.<br/><strong>Hometown and Region:</strong>Tetso Region, Hometown unknown<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Hibana doesn't remember much of her past. All she knows is she was clutching onto a Riolu when she came to and both she and the pokemon were heavily injured. Having no memories of where she came from or where she was going, Hibana just began walking. She knew they both needed help, so she continued walking mindlessly, oblivious of her surroundings, looking for someone that could help them. Eventually she fainted from her wounds, but later came to in a bed. Turns out an older looking man had found her and tended to her wounds. She asked about the Riolu that was with her, and the man showed her him sleeping on the edge of the bed.<br/><br/>The man didn't ask where she came from or anything, he only introduced himself as Lee Tenjou, an old pokemon trainer that lived in the secluded area she was wandering around in. He did ask what her name was, but when she seemed confused over it, he realized that the trauma from one of her head injuries must've caused it. "I know! How about I give you a name for now?" He spoke to her kindly. "I'll name you.. Hibana. Hibana Tenjou. Until you can remember your true name, keep this as your name."<br/><br/>During her time with him, spent mostly recovering from her wounds and watching over the Riolu as it needed more time to recover. He didn't do much aside from quietly watch the two, keeping whatever secrets he knew to himself. Lee spoke to Hibana in various ways, trying to ascertain how much she remembers, but it was hard. Some things she did automatically, while others needed to be taught. He taught her how to use pokemon and how to catch them as well as how to care for them. Lee suggested that she put Riolu into a pokeball, but upon sight of one, the little guy freaked out and tried to get away.<br/><br/>It was only by Hibana's soft talking and earnest nature that she seemed to calm him down. She promised him that she wouldn't make him do anything he didn't want to. After that, he seemed to grudgingly listen to her, following her around at time and keeping his distance at others. Soon though Hibana's currently stable world was thrown into chaos as some men burst into the home, looking for Riolu and herself. Without thinking, Hibana moved like lightning with trained reflexes, bringing the men down with skilled moves. Lee was impressed, he didn't expect the young girl he picked up to have known martial arts. But he also realized that whomever was after these two would come again, and likely in greater numbers.<br/><br/>So he packed a few supplies for Hibana along with a map to follow. He also gave her a Tyrogue in a pokeball, mentioning that it'd protect her in a pinch. Sending her on her way, Lee quietly prepared for what could be his last fight...<br/><br/>Hibana fought her way to the nearest city, sometimes running into those men or others like them, or just running into pokemon trainers. She didn't know why, but the feeling of battle and the adrenaline pumping seemed to put her in a good mood. Despite the hardships, she found she was enjoying herself in some weird way. Word began to spread about the girl with the fighting type pokemon and more and more challenges began to come her way. This also had a effect of keeping those strange men away as she was always around someone now. She wanted to check on Lee, but everytime she was about to head back to that place, Riolu would stop her.<br/><br/>Eventually a year passed and she had become pretty popular, her Tyrogue had evolved into a Hitmonlee. She often would be seen crashing with Nurse Joy as she didn't really have a place to stay.. strangely despite her winnings. But eventually she settled into an area where fighting types were numerous and this got the attention of the Elite Four, who had been watching her exploits for the past while. Soon enough, she got an invitation to become one of the gym leaders, much to her surprise.<br/><br/><strong>Starting Team:</strong><br/>-Riolu: Endure, Counter, Force Palm<br/>-Hitmonlee: Meditate, Rolling Kick, Jump Kick, Brick Break<br/>
