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's morning had started about as picturesque as one could, arriving in Vermillion city upon the luxurious S.S. Anne, greeted by the dazzling sun and amazing coastal views, catching breakfast at a local cafe, and now getting to chat with her darling Sho, "Uh huh, I just got off the boat a few minutes ago. No I didn't get sea sick! Your mom's made of tougher stuff than that!" she chided with a chuckle, talking into her cell phone as she pecked at her oren berry crepe. She had come a long way from Hoenn for this trip, a special vacation to go meet up with her son who's journey had brought him all the way out to Kanto. While they hadn't met up face to face yet she was still excited to hear how his adventure was going, "So how's your play going? Oh I can't wait to see it! I bet you look adorable in your costume! Oh don't give me that you're such a cutie wootie hehehheh...so how many gyms have you managed to stop by so far? Hmmm not that many yet huh? Don't worry mamma bear will give you some first hand training to whip ya into fighting strength! Oh you know I'm serious! Speaking of which where did you want to meet up for dinner tonight?...." she mused.<br/><br/>However in the midst of making her plans a cute little pidgey suddenly fluttered down right to her table,  giving a few chirps to get the woman's attention, "Huh? one second Sho..." she muttered, placing the phone down on her lap and giving the pidgey a gentle pat on the head, ruffling it's feathers a little before noticing the note tied to it's leg, "what's this little guy? A letter?Wow I've seen this on TV and stuff, but I didn't know they even still trained carrier pidgeys for real, how old fashioned..." she cooed, smirking a bit at how novel it felt. However the actual message inside was another matter entirely, "Eh!? MewTwo? Disappearing legendaries? Aren't they always "disappeared"? I mean you never see them just wandering around...huh they were talking about something like that on the news the past few weeks haven't they?"  she mused, turning the whole idea around in her mind, slowly picking back up her phone, "Hey Sho? We might need to cancel on dinner tonight...I don't know how serious it is but I got some weird invitation to something...like a party I guess...don't worry I'm just gonna check it out real quick, but I might be out and about till late, yeah it's probably nothing sweetie, but when a mystery calls you gotta go check it out, right? Love you too" she cooed, hanging up the call and casually tossing her toast to the dutiful pidgey as a tip before kipping up out of her seat and flagging down a taxi.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/jtC4OwZ.png)</div>One car ride later Mio found herself drifting down the little waterway that lead to Cerulean Cave, floating comfortably on the back of her Walrein, who's wide, strong back was more than enough to support the shapely pokemom, "If the directions I got were correct it should be right around here..." she muttered to herself, head perking up as her suspicions were confirmed not by any formation in the stone, but by the rag-tag collection of trainers gathered about. This must be it! And it seemed she wasn't the only one to get a mysterious invitation, "Ahoy!" Mio called out to the group as she floated closer, excitedly hopping up to stand on her Walrein's back, waving to the assorted group of youngsters, "you're all here for the Potluck right?" she teased, chuckling as they neared the shore. However before they could reach solid ground it seemed Walrein had bumped against a stone or something beneath the surface, shaking just enough to throw the motherly trainer off balance and send her falling forwards towards the water, "Waaah! Walrein!" she called out for help, not wanting to crash into the water below and ruin her outfit. Quick as a flash Walrein turned his head and unleashed a powerful ice beam across the water, "Waaaalrein!" the tusky pokemon roared as the water flash froze into a solid sheet of ice, which saved Mio from going under, but caused her to smack face first into the icy floor with a heavy thud, which was....better?<br/><br/>"Ughff...." she groaned, splayed out comically on the ice, even sliding a few inches after taking her nose dive, "It's ok! My face broke the fall...." she assured, quickly sliding herself over to solid ground and shakily hefting herself up to her feet, "heheheh, I guess I didn't break the ice very well huh?" she cooed, rubbing her face and brushing a few stray locks of hair out of the way. Despite her less than graceful entrance the older woman was quite strapping, wearing a loose sweater and denim shorts that seemed to show off her thick yet clearly well maintained figure, "alright so what's the prize? This is like one of those guerrilla marketing campaigns or something right?" she questioned, clearly not buying into the world ending connotations of the note.
