Marco is a man who lives based on desires and personal goals. He is highly driven and easily readable when it comes to what he wants. If there is a goal he sets himself, he’ll roll on towards that goal with a single-minded and often reckless abandon, much like a boulder would, barrelling down a mountain.<br/><br/>When it comes to people, Marco is generally friendly and honest, not beyond calling someone he doesn't like an idiot just because he thinks they are. He finds people overly confusing most of the time, but still finds a lot of pleasure in social-ness. He generally prefers being with people than being alone. Despite how blunt and straightforward he is, he is a reasonable intelligence: not surprisingly, considering his family. Overall he is easy to make friends with and is easily impassioned by a friend’s feelings.<br/><br/><strong>Hometown and Region:</strong> Born in Pewter City, later moved to Prismalia Town <br/><br/>Prismalia Town is so named due to its world renowned gemstone caves. The presence of the rare gemstone caves makes it a huge tourist destination, as well as a popular second stop for treasure hunters, after they visit the Tetra regions rumoured treasure filled mountains. Most famous is the world famous Diamond heart caverns.<br/><br/>The Diamond-heart caverns are famous for the bright diamonds that line the walls of the tunnels, leading to the Centre of the cavernous expanse, in which a huge heart shaped Diamond resides, glinting light through the reflections of the other diamonds. Its beauty is unparalleled and the spot is considered good luck for romance.<br/><br/>As well as the Diamond-heart caverns, multiple other caves exist, including several which are filled with Pokémon and some which are mined. The caves hold many treasures, as well as diamonds. Including fossils, and is home to a museum, which hosts the region’s fossil resurrection facilities.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> Marco was always into Pokémon, he’d spend most of his time in his home region, in Kanto. He often travelled around with his Father, an extensively skilled Pokémon trainer. For the most part, his life was good. He loved watching Pokémon battles and often watched his father battle: especially the battles against Brock, the rock gym leader.<br/><br/>Eventually though, his father left, starting a new chapter of his trainer journey that Marco couldn’t follow him on. Marco was left to watch as his dad left, leaving him alone in Kanto with only his mother, a scientist at the Pewter City Museum. Marco spent more time at the Pewter city gym, learning from Brock and watching his battles with a hungry knowledge that was undeniable.<br/><br/>Marco’s father, despite being away for such an extended period, cared enough about Marco to send him constant gifts. The two most notable were an aged piece of rare Amber and a Pokémon egg he got at Mt Silver. Both of which would guide his life in later years.<br/><br/>Marco, with help from his father and mother, started getting in contact with various trainers all around; most notably, the Steel trainer Jasmine and the Rock Gym leaders; Roark and Roxanne. His contact with them solidified his love for battling and planted the seeds for a new dream.<br/><br/>Soon enough, Marco hatched the egg, and birthed the rare Pokémon, Larvitar. The Larvitar became the focus of his life, and the two were nigh-inseparable. With Brock’s help, Larvitar and Marco began to train and were soon skilled enough that they helped Brock out, by working as Gym trainers.<br/><br/>It was around this time, when Marco was 18, that his Mother received a promotion. She was due to transfer to the Tetso museum of Science, where she would become the head of Pokémon scientific exploration. This meant that the two soon ended up in the Tetso region, the place that Marco has called home for Six years.<br/><br/>As he arrived in Tetso, Marco’s mother gave him a unique present, she had taken the Amber gifted to him by his father and transformed it using the reanimation technology that had been refined by Kanto and Sinnoh technologies, bringing Marco his second Pokémon to life: An Aerodactyl.<br/><br/>Marco then made a new decision, mainly prompted by a letter he received from Jasmine. He decided to become a Gym leader, just like his friends from far off lands. But instead of being the stepping stones for a trainer’s journey, he would be more than that. He decided to become the strongest Rock trainer in existence; he’d surpass all others with his bright ambition and a stony will.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Starting Team:</strong> <br/><br/>Larvitar//Topaz-<br/><br/>Gender: Female<br/><br/>Attacks: Dig, Sandstorm, Rock Slide<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Aerodactyl-<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Attacks: Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Supersonic, Wing Attack<br/></div></div>
