There's one problem with your sheet slacker, your starter has to be grass, water or fire.
No, I checked and Cottonee is dual-type grass/fairy. Unless it was once Flabby baby, and I just didn't see. (Also, yes, I call Flabebe Flabby Baby. Fite me.)
I'll post anyway. It's not specifically first-come first-serve.
Name: Felicia Aethen
Gender: Female.
Age: 16
Appearance: An average height young teen, with long and messy black hair and hazel eyes.
Backstory:
Felicia was born in Morta. So were her parents. So were their parents. Theyve been there a long time.
The family lived in one of the quieter areas, with less wild pokemon than any other. They ran a small berry farm, and sold to the nearby towns. It was a simple and happy life.
Until last year.
Felicia and her twin Alicia had never left the farm before. They were curious. So in the dead of night, they decided to go to the nearest town, not even a mile from the farm. They were almost there, the lights of the town visible. Then something hit them.
Felicia was knocked to the ground. She was stunned, she couldnt move. The pokemon ignored her for the more interesting prey.
If only it could be said she didnt feel anything. But Felicia knows she did. The screams are etched into her memory. The next morning a hunter from the town found them.
Alicia didnt make it.
When she got home, she was quiet. Shed lost her other half. She didnt speak for a year, and when she did she said she wanted to apply to be a trainer. To explore for both of them. After taking some classes for the basic needs of a trainer on the road, she brought the familys Turtwig (the child of their primary beast of burden) with her for the examination.

Name: Umbria Blanche
Gender: Female
Age: 11
Backstory: Umbria was born into a rich family in Lumiose City with her father, little brother, and stepmother. Umbria absolutely loved Pokemon, and in return they loved her back. Wanting to be a coordinator, her father gifted her a Cottonee on her 10th birthday, which she named Verte. Life was good.
Until her father died in a one-person car crash only a few weeks afterward, of course.
Distraught and suddenly a little bit more alone, she decided not to go and embark on her Pokemon journey. This changed upon her, her little brother, and stepmother being mugged in an alleyway. Luckily, they managed to stall for time until the police came by, but... Seeing her supposed protector, her stepmother, being so defenseless... it awakened a resolve within her. She needed to become the very best, and no-one will ever hurt her or her little brother again.
A week later, she boarded a boat for Morta.

Ughhh... I don't know which one to accept.... Okay, so how about this. One of you can join Team Metrom. The other one can be a lonesome traveller, who rivals both teams. Unless either of you have a problem with thaaaaaaat? Otherwise, I'll just have to remove the team thing entirely, btu I think it's an interesting thing.
So, how about it? Whoever posts first gets the decision first, so, decide.
