She's used to going above and beyond to help others, and finds great enjoyment in doting on both people and pokemon alike. Of course this is all what one would expect from a motherly house wife, but Mio also has a more eccentric streak as well. Her old passion for battling tends to flare up at the oddest of times, and whenever she gets heated about something she can be surprisingly aggressive and intense. She can also be a bit of a goof, having a bubbly enthusiasm and odd sense of humor that for her age can be seen as highly endearing or really embarrassing. <br/><br/>History: Mio started her journey as a pokemon trainer over 30 years ago. Back then as a child she had no real care in the world aside from traveling the world and growing stronger beside her team. Despite pokemon contests becoming a big draw for female trainers at the time, Mio never cared much for it, focusing entirely on tearing her way through the pokemon league. She would compete in the Hoenn league grand tournament for 12 consecutive years straight before retiring, managing to reach the Elite 4 on 5 separate occasions and even facing the league champion once, though she would never actually capture the title herself. <br/><br/>Mio ended up retiring in her early twenties after becoming pregnant with her first and only child Sho, deciding to settle down with her husband and starting a proper family life. She would stay retired for nearly 15 years, until her son decided to start his own pokemon journey. With her son out traveling and her husband often away on business trips, Mio ended up dabbling back into the world of pokemon. First she picked up a part time job at a pokemon day care, then a battler tutor, and even applied to become a gym leader. Unfortunately none of these jobs really captured that old spark of being an actual trainer, and so she eventually decided to come out of retirement and take another go at the pokemon league. She didn't pursue it as seriously as before, every few weeks or so she would take a trip to one of the big cities, have a few battles here and there, maybe even challenge one of the gyms, and it more or less became a hobby for her. However despite that she's managed to rack up quite a few badges, and word of her come back story has made her somewhat renown among older trainers, and day by day the thought of going all out and finally trying to become champion grows more and more tempting. <br/><br/>Pokemon Team:<br/>-Grumpig (https://i.imgur.com/5inU6ZY.png) (psychic)<br/>[Psychic, Teeter Dance, Hypnosis, Dream Eater]<br/>-Ninjask (https://i.imgur.com/W6wobf6.png) (bug/flying)<br/>[Ariel Ace, Slash, X-scissor, Swords Dance]<br/>-Shedinja (https://i.imgur.com/AVI9Qn9.png) (bug/ghost)<br/>[Shadow Ball, Phantom Force, Hyper Beam, X-Scissor]<br/>-Exploud (https://i.imgur.com/cXtSasu.png) (normal)<br/>[Boomburst, Echoed Voice, Crunch, Thunder Fang]<br/>-Torkoal (https://i.imgur.com/ZWx54M5.png) (fire)<br/>[Lave Plume, Overheat, Sunny Day, Solar Beam]<br/>-Walrein (https://i.imgur.com/jtC4OwZ.png) (ice/water)<br/>[Ice Fang, Rollout, Ice Beam, Surf]<br/><br/>Reserves: <br/>-Shiftry <br/>-Seviper<br/>-Beautifly<br/>-Wailmer<br/>-Claydol<br/>-Altaria</div></div><br/>Location: Cerulean Cave<br/>Active Pokemon: Walrein<br/><hr/><br/>Mio gave a small chuckle as one of the gathered trainers raced over to lend a hand, "Thanks honey, and that's disappointing, I guess I took the<em>trip</em>over for nothing..." she cooed, putting in a short pause as if waiting for them to laugh at her pun, "Hmmmm....Naomi Hunter....Naomi Hunter....Naomi...Hunter..." she mused, trying to recall if she had heard the name before, "Oh! is that like from that Krookodile Hunter show? I love that show but I barely get the chance to catch it when it airs!" she cooed, mistaking the multi-time champion for a nature show host. It seemed that the older woman hadn't really been keeping up with current league events during her time in retirement, so this newer generation of champions was more or less unknown to her.<br/><br/>As the blonde haired lad stepped up to introduce himself Mio gave him a beaming, motherly smile, "well looks can be deceiving you know" she said, referring to the fall, "because it was actually<em>really</em>painful!" she said, flashing a cheeky grin and a goofy thumbs up, seemingly taking a bit of pride in her prat falling. Behind her Walrein just shook his head, casually wading around in the water as his trainer got up to her old antics, "It's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm Mio, no fancy titles or anything heheh." she cooed, glancing around at the gathered trainers, "wow, this really is a pretty impressive looking bunch, and you're all so young too! I wonder if my message might have ended up going to the wrong person..." she mused, seeing how she seemed to be the odd one out, both in age and in importance. Everyone gathered here seemed to have some kind of elite air about them. One was a multi-time champion, one was apparently a tv star, one was toting what looked like ranger gear, and one had an infernape with a really cool nickname....talk about feeling out of place.
