Personality

Both a passionate and honest person, Seth's key trait is his mixture of persistence and smarts. Always pursuing a goal, but smart enough to know when to back down on most occasions. With his father involved in Striaton’s police force and mother working as a prosecutor, one would naturally assume this is where Seth attained a strong sense of justice and an unmatched ability to pick apart someone’s character. As time developed and Seth undertook the role as a semi-freelance journalist, that passion birthed two traits earning him the title “Blue Pest” by criminals and law-enforcement alike: abrasiveness and patience. No matter what obstacle is thrown his way, Seth perseveres for the sake of his articles illustrating nothing but truths. Naturally, he harbors a strong distaste for anyone who tries to muddy up news by virtue of entertainment. Throughout his years, however, that sense of justice diminished. It didn’t take a genius to know this profession was a cruel one - he’d never feign ignorance to such. Therefore, Seth isn’t above using underhanded methods to secure valuable information for his articles. Lastly, Seth’s outlook on battles is that they come second to his job and overall are very unimportant.

Origin

Early Life: Born into a respectable family in Striaton City, Seth’s childhood stretched hardly beyond the norm. And yet, he enjoyed that. While there was the occasional mockery of his girlish looks, he never truly let it bother him. His parents also held honest jobs, with his father being a police officer and his mother being a prosecutor. Sadly, suxh led to a busy life for both parents arriving home from work at late times or just sometimes not being around entirely. Consequently, this led to Seth discovering independence at an early age. He didn’t resent his mother nor father, knowing their jobs were important and that sacrifices needed to be made - that much was only further understood as he got older.By the age of 10, Seth’s father came home with a gift - an apology, if anything. It was a Porygon. During an arrest, a surplus was stored for malicious purposes by the apprehended criminals. Likely some type of massive cyber-attack. The criminals were busted and all that was left were their hoarding of Porygons, having been told to simply release them, Seth’s father asked if he could take one in. With permission being granted, the Porygon, who was nicknamed “Polyente” by Seth became the future journalist’s first Pokemon.Whereas most kids his age dreamed of becoming a trainer, Seth saw differently. For years, he’d always have an interest in the media, seeing how it operated and what went on behind the scenes. Picking up a job as a newspaper boy, Seth’s first steps were set. Over the years, Seth moved his way up by working for Striaton’s tabloid newspaper center named “Multi-Type News”, a small company that mainly publicized in the city. Somewhere in between the age of 14-16, Seth had caught a Ghastly he nicknamed “Geist” during a night out delivering papers. Geist later evolved into a Haunter and has remained that way since.Moving into Castelia City when reaching the age of 18, Seth finally achieved his dream of becoming a journalist by working for the city’s news organization “Daily Castel” mixed in with freelancing. Quickly becoming renowned for his work and methods of gaining information from criminals and law-enforcement, Seth earned the moniker of “Blue Pest” for his persistence. Despite this, he’d never bend the truth of an article, nor take requests for stories that had no factual evidence behind them. During his stay in Castelia City, Seth acquired the two final Pokemon to his team: a Zoura and Elgyem.Now at the age of 21, Seth often takes up the more dangerous reports, digging his nose into subjects most journalists wouldn’t dare approach out of fear. Alas, he’d realize just how cruel this business could be, and thus impacted Seth’s once righteous sense of justice. While he’d never conform to the typical practice of stretching truths, the young journalist wasn’t beyond using underhanded methods to gain information. Even wiping away the memories of those providing him information so his stories through his Beheeyem.
