<div class="floatleft">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ed/27/51/ed27516883ac80f837d295342a58fc56.jpg)</div>Name: Erik Digger<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Age: 23<br/>Home region: Alola<br/>Personality: Grim and stoic, Erik likes to keep quiet. He seems to get along well with his Pokemon; moreso than humans. Carries a Banette plushie.<br/>Background: Like most youths, Erik set off on his Pokemon journey when he came of age. And, just like many trainers, he started to have a "type"; Ghost and Dark Pokemon. It started off innocently enough, being lured in by the odd, stuffed-doll like Banette. But he grew to love them, bit by bit. In the course of trying to soothe the Banette's grudge, he became increasingly empathetic towards the terrible pains and tragedies that these type of Pokemon had suffered through; decided to bring light to their lives.<br/><br/>Not one to shy away from the darker aspects of life, he occasionally worked alongside Team Skull, as a pinch hitter or hired help. However, with the arrival of Team Rocket, he separated himself from the group; easily done, since he had never been an official member.  He stood back, and observed the events as they transpired, and continued to train and befriend his Pokemon.<br/><br/>Now, with a criminal organization rising up like some sort of tyrannical dictatorship, he sees that people, like him, can't just stand idly by. The suffering must be ended. To that end, he is willing to try to work alongside other human trainers, as an ally, rather than a competitor.<br/>Team:<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Alolan Marrowak</div><div class="spoiler_body">*Marowak (Alolan) (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Marowak_(Pok%C3%A9mon))<br/>+<acronym title="The user hurls mud in the target's face to inflict damage and lower its accuracy.
