With an opposing trainer he goes all out for the reason that they deserve nothing less then that. For many a trainer it'a merely showing respect. When it comes to training his own pokémon he is encouraging them constantly. Wanting to see them improve and grow stronger and forge that precious bond of trust. He expects those who pass his Gym to have those same values of forging both trust and strength with their pokémon.<br/><strong>Hometown and Region:</strong> Pyrite Town (Orre)<br/><strong>Background:</strong> Madison originally was from Pyrite Town where the strong thrive. It wasn't the worst place to live if you were capable of handling yourself. In a sink or swim town like that Madison's childhood was full of trials. Pokémon weren't just for companionship for young children but also for protection. Battling was both about defending yourself and improving your lot in life. When he was fifteen Madison received his first Pokémon in the form of Woolvry from his parents. Since wild Pokémon were rare in the desert region of Orre, and due to the region lacking a league of it's own Madison decided that he would have to work up the funds to travel on the S.S. Libra in order to have his own journey. <br/><br/>So he battled and trained in the colosseum to raise the money which consequently allowed him the opportunity to train up against other trainers. However during this time he realized he would need a second Pokémon in order to stand a chance against the other trainers and there was only one place to possibly find wild Pokémon. He went into the old mines of Pyrite Town in order to hunt down a pokémon and there he found his second partner Sneasel. It was a fierce battle but he had came prepared and after the skirmish he had his second Pokémon. Battling through the cups of the Colosseums in the Orre Region he found himself making a considerable sum of money. <br/><br/>But what followed at the Orre Colosseum for the PokéCup Tournaments was notice by the Elite Four's scouts for nurturing encouragement within his Pokémon as well as competent strategy. He received an invitation soon afterwards to the Tetso Region inviting him to be a Gym Leader. In due time he had the funds and resources needed to begin his journey. Bidding farewell to his family he set off for the Tetso Region with one other gift in his possession tucked carefully away in his side pack in a strong container, a Pokémon egg that has yet to hatch.<br/><br/><strong>Starting Team:</strong> <br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Clokcruel</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Type:</strong> Fire/Dark<br/><strong>Ability:</strong> Intimidate<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Fire Fang</li><li>Crunch</li><li>Hone Claws</li><li>Quick Attack</li></ul></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sneasel</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Type:</strong> Dark/Ice<br/><strong>Ability:</strong> Keen Eye<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Ice Punch</li><li>Metal Claw</li><li>Faint Attack</li><li>Agility</li></ul></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Pawniard</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Type:</strong> Dark/Steel<br/><strong>Ability:</strong> Defiant<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Fury Cutter</li><li>Torment</li><li>Faint Attack</li><li>Metal Claw</li></ul></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Egg (Contains Eevee)</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Type:</strong> Normal<br/><strong>Ability:</strong> Adaptability <br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Helping Hand</li><li>Tackle</li><li>Tail Whip</li><li>Wish</li></ul></div></div></div></div>
