r.i.p qiu 😪😪 kojo will make sure you’ll be properly credited in his research paper on deadly pokemon moves /j
ANYWAYSSS 🤔🤔🤔 YAP TIME cause i love pokemon #HellYeah
unlike most, when kojo started battling at age 10, he had two pokemon/starters instead of one; a trigger-happy gible named lucifer, and a rather shy litwick named lilith. this is because kojo moved from melbourne, australia to golden grove, oregon, and already had a partner from back home. however, while adjusting, he grew curious of golden grove’s pokemon, and when wandering the woods one evening, he stumbled upon a litwick, fell in love with ir, and caught it.
at age fourteen kojo’s team had grown from two, to five pokemon— gabite, a shiny frogadier, lucario, midnight form lycanroc, and a tinkatuff. his litwick— now evolved into a lampent (he grinded the hell to get there vro)— has seemed to have been ‘benched’, but in reality it is kojo’s most trusted partner (alongside gabite) and used for his nightly routine of pokemon hunting rather than fighting. around age sixteen, on a trip to hawaii, kojo wandered off to go study and hunt wild pokemon in the area, and after getting lost 😞 stumbled upon a type: null. he tried to study it, but accidentally triggered it into a fight, and somehow (main character plot armour; he just so happened to catch a passimian a few nights before) managed to catch it.
at age eighteen kojo’s team now consists of a garchomp, shiny greninja, lucario, midnight form lycanroc, a tinkaton, and silvally. this, however, is not his ‘main’ team, they are actually more active when he’s researching, as they are rather large and scary pokemon and therefore scare off distractions (wild pokemon) when he’s busy doing his job. when kojo fights, he switches pokemon every few fights, never really sticking to a pokemon other than garchomp. this doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about his pokemon, in fact, he is kind of hesitant to use certain pokemon, he’s just strategic and likes confusing other trainers— especially his lover and one of the two champions, qiu. other than fighting, kojo’s hobbies are studying and researching pokemon and their environments.
uhh in step 4 kojo just finished med school and starts his residency to become a cardiovascular surgeon but he still enjoys studying pokemon he just doesn’t have the time for it (sorry chat i’m too lazy and dont have his step 4 personality figured out yet okay bye)
