[attr="class","puppy"] [attr="class","puppy2"] [attr="class","puppy3"]history [attr="class","puppy4"]Secrecy has always been a big thing with my family, it tends to be in most cases but with us...well, we had more cause to stay tight-lipped than others. Quite honestly I think we'd have acted like this even if we didn't have pokemon DNA running through our veins. The people who live in Black City tend to behave like that anyway so luckily for us out introversion didn't rouse any suspicion. If you subtract my tendency to get into fights with the idiots who started them. Unfortunately the 'he started it' line didn't blow over too well on the ones I call mom and dad. Like I said, I'm a part of the species that seems to have the world on end. At least since the discovery came to light. A gijinka; more specifically houndoom and I'm thankful all I have to show for it is that ail of one. It's easily hidden so that's less of a problem for me. Horns on the other hand; that'd just be troublesome to operate around. And luckily enough the same could be said for my parents. I don't want to sound pretentious saying that all the gijinkas in my bloodline have been either houndoom or houndour but that's how it was. All having traits either easily hidden of overlooked. Needless to say I was disappointed when I received a dozy-looking pokemon for my ninth birthday. Of course I'd been half-expecting my parents to go all out for their little girl, to the extent that they would obtain a pokemon from another region entirely . Seriously, I would have been just as happy with an Axew. Not going to lie I was disappointed to find out that it wasn't a dragon but the reassurance that it would become one kept me happy enough. For a city that revolved around money I suppose it was bearable. I'd never stayed there long enough to investigate of become more aware of the workings and all that. After all, once I hit ten I high-tailed it out of there. Home was suffocating; Black City even more-so. To this day I still think deciding to head of on a pokemon journey is the most motivationally driven thing I've done. My lazy habits aside the idea of the freedom that came with trapeezing around Unova was too tempting to pass up. Dragon-taming. It had an appeal I always seemed drawn too, but after spending as long as I have with a dragon-type as a partner I couldn't help get attached to them. They were a challenge. Notably one of the toughest type to train due to their vicious and superior tendencies. You had to earn their affection and cooperation. Not an easy feat but that's what made it fun for me. Type-speciality was said to be something only the most confident of trainers undertook. Personally I didn't care but it did earn me some scars over the years from the creatures that seem all too eager to fight for me nowadays. As time went on the human supremacy and gijinka retaliations started to piss me off. Especially after seeing the pain it all seemed to cause the general populace; I shuddered to think about the other regions of the world. Often times I still find myself ridiculing humanity as a race. So-called 'normal' people and gijinka alike. Neutrality came naturally to me, I saw no benefit in supporting causes thought up be idiots. So long as I stayed hidden and indifferent life would remain liveable. It's never that easy. Black City was a cesspool for criminal activity. A place filled with greedy souls and people looking for nothing more than to fill their pockets. I wan't entirely ignorant to all this stuff when I was younger. With the exception of all the brawls I found myself getting into my parents seemed to do a nice enough job in keeping our family off the radar. I was still in Unova when it happened. That's what made it worst. You would hear talk of neighbour selling out neighbour to turn a quick profit. It might have been fortunate of me to not have been there when it happened but the soul-crushing guilt stayed all the same. What started out as a regular training day turned sour in the instant I saw the news broadcasting the murder of a couple in Black City. I think that's when I started to hate humans. I didn't claim whatever inheritance was left to me. Perhaps I was just being overly cautious but I had a feeling that's whatever their killer - or killers - would have wanted. I mean, we had tons of family photos in the house. You'd have to be an idiot not to cop that they had a daughter and by default another gijinka. I left the region as quick as I could after that; heading to Lyeant. Perhaps not the best of ideas concerning the animosity felt between the two parties but I guess the rest of the world wasn't much better. Fake smiles and fake enthusiasm. I mean, I was never very enthusiastic to begin with but after their death my previous outlook on neutrality took a change. My gijinka side practically pleaded with me to exact revenge for what happened to my parents but I stomached it. Faking things came pretty easily after that. I mostly kept to myself and kept up with training and gym challenges. I never expected to be offered a position though. It seemed the current dragon trainer was nearing their retirement and needed a replacement. With a gym leader position came responsibility. I wasn't very keen on that at first, but with the knowledge that it offered some form of protection from society veered my views. I took it in the end. My status as a gijinka is hidden easily enough and all I had to put up with was the odd arrogant challenger trying to prove how ballsy they were. Annoying, yes. But bearable. Not to mention being tied down wasn't nearly what I'd wanted to do with my life, there was still sights to see and things to do. Oh well, I'll keep at it for now until all this crap blows over.
