Astral
Channeler Astral (a.k.a. Child of Potential)
Astral is a youth who has the power to connect with Pokémon through the art of Channeling. They are a descendant from a long lineage of Channelers who were destined to act as a bridge between Pokémon and humans. Over the course of their adventures, they have gained powers beyond that of a normal Trainer, setting them apart from the rest. With Astral's Pokemon at their side, this is when they are at their strongest. They also came into the possession of the power of MissingNo via a Pact, binding it to their body.
Astral's team is made up of many different Pokemon, the Channeler using them interchangibly according to the plan they have in mind. Their partner Pokemon Storm, a Jolteon, has excellent tracking talents and battle potential. A genetic anomaly occurred in her breeding, gaining the high-risk Volt Tackle move from her father, a Raichu. The second Pokemon, Chapplin (full name Charlie Chapplin) is a passive, easygoing Appletun who often uses his Vine Whip attack for both terrain traversal and keeping foes at bay. Cali is Astral's third Pokemon, an Aegislash that allows the Trainer to use its body as an actual sword and shield to bolster their in-battle capabilities also using King's Shield to defend theirself. Puddle the Swampert is Astral's fourth Pokemon in both roster and catching order. While very powerful, the Mud Fish Pokemon has not been with his Trainer long enough to listen completely, opting to smother them with love instead.

Often empathetic people with a great intuitive understanding of others’ emotions, they can take this expertise to a whole other level with Pokémon, even acting as a conduit to connect the hearts of multiple Pokémon at once.
- Visions (Oracle): Mystical abilities that bestow mastery over past and future when honed.

Personal history
Before traveling as part of the main party, Astral was born in Thenia's Pólitonka Town. They had been training to take the family title of Channeler from their mother since they were young. She had taught them much about their legacy, up until her death. They've had to learn more about their role while learning more and more about the people and Pokémon in it. There is doubt in Astral's mind about their abilities. The townspeople noticed Astral had much more compatibility with Channeling than their mother. Storm, Astral's Eevee, was received as an Egg. Storm was the offspring of the family's Raichu and Jolteon. Astral's mother had become sick, and so they always went to pray at the local shrine to wish her safe health. Unfortunately, she had passed just as her letter to the Olympus Conference arrived in the mail, so Astral decided to set out in her place. With the blessing of the village, the Trainer and the Evolution Pokémon set out on their journey to the Sleepy Snorlax.

Education
Homeschooling from their mother led to Astral not being the best in terms of book smarts. However, they do have a sharp intuition, and clever outside-the-box thinking. Due to consistent training, Astral has an uncanny sense of understanding things regarding Pokémon.

These people...
These people here are some of the weirdest people I've ever met. First there's this odd little kid with a Sableye who's apparently a Poké Ball Crafter. He had hurt Storm pretty bad. I can't blame him after all of that, though. It was a misunderstanding, and with that whole spooky moment with Darkrai, he's fearful he'll meet a bitter end. Then there's Koji, a guy veiled in mystery who is very exemplary at battling. He caught a Pawniard through a stroke of luck and sheer determination. I cannot get ANY read on Leo. Frank is...... for lack of a better word: strange. He falls out of a wormhole with a horde of Jellicent-like creatures, knows way too much about them, and claims to be from a world similar to our own. He helped us at the very least, but I still do NOT trust him and his Togepi. However, they're the only people I'm aware of that survived whatever has happened in this area. No use thinking on it for now. I need to make sure we get to stay our fair share of the time at the Sleepy Snorlax. There's nothing normal about that light that had appeared before we passed out. I have to find out what happened.
Power of the Plates
After attuning wiith the Iron Plate, a strange phenomena occurred. While everyone was attempting to get the Icicle Plate under control as it spews out subzero Ice-Type energy My hands became heavy, and gained a metallic sheen! It was as if they were steel themselves... Was that in relation to the Plates being in close proximity, or was something else causing a reaction?
Maybe the Plates aren't just relics, but pieces of the same puzzle.
Recent Events
Where do I begin?
Since my last entry, many things have taken place. Allow me to summarize:
After the Blinding had taken place, Koji, Jasper, Leo, Frank, and I found a few Pokémon living in the now-abandoned arena. Koji successfully caught a Bisharp, and we all decided we would make our way back to the inn we previously stayed in. Soon we find out that the inn we had stayed in for the tournament had been turned into a base of operations for a tribe of unfortunate people who lived throughout the aftermath of the Blinding. We spent a long time at the inn, helping gather supplies and earning the trust of Phineas, the self-proclaimed leader of the Sleepy Snorlax Tribe. Ava, Phineas' sister, took great care of us while we stayed at the Inn. It took an intense and emotional battle to do so. We also learned more about how Ultra Beasts are just like humans and Pokémon; Everyone has their own thoughts and emotions. The professor's assistant came to give us more info about the Blinding and its origin, a being called Necrozma. We later learn that Necrozma has eaten 1% of the stars in the sky. Ava helped us gear up before we left the inn, and wanted to join us on our journey to prevent Necrozma from consuming more light. We accepted knowing full well we need all the help we can get.
After leaving the Sleepy Snorlax, we encountered this suspicious man wearing a mask. He seemed inhuman almost, speaking in such robotic ways and mannerisms. The party decided to ambush him and obtained minimal info on the Ultra Beasts before he escaped. We would later travel blindly, getting sucked into a portal to this abandoned library within a pocket dimension. I befriended a Honedge and named it Cali, and Koji caught a Yamask, giving the small spirit the name Ana. We learned a vast amount of knowledge and saved a Magearna named Solar, the attendant to the library. It, unfortunately, had to do its job, even after the passing of its creator and its "sister," the creator's daughter. Layla, a girl we met at the Sleepy Snorlax, joined us at the library. It wished for freedom due to its heavy loss, but we helped heal its heart. We made sure it could communicate with us via my Rotom Phone.
After our time there, an Ultra Wormhole (as Frank calls it) opened once more and separated the group into different places. When we landed in the unknown location, I almost died by falling off a mountain with poorly timed rappelling. Luckily Layla caught me with her astounding telekinetic powers. Though it seems we got transported to the Distortion World, the realm of the Legendary Giratina. We witnessed the fall of Arceus, the Original One, the event rendering Layla comatose from the trauma of the event. We were stuck, seeing the exit portal far above the area where we had landed. After being stuck there for a few days, Jasper and Ava found a way to save us. While attempting to leave, Giratina appeared once more to disrupt this. Layla prevented this by sacrificing herself. She did this not only to help us flee but to save my Applin named Chapplin as well. We assumed the worst with portal closing and showing no signs of coming back.
Ava, Jasper and I found ourselves flung into Allegro, a moderately sized coastal town. We attempted to shop for some supplies, to no avail. Jasper did obtain a Charizard that was very rare in color. All thanks to an appraiser who analyzed the Iron Plate I unearthed before going to the Athenaeum. I attempted to gain a vision with my newfound powers, and ending up making a deal with a man in the mindscape of the Iron Plate where I would attempt to gather the Plates to free him from the mental prison. After a few days, we reconvened with Koji and Frank. Layla seemed to have not perished! She had been spewed from a portal much like the one we had escaped through prior to staying at the hotel we're in currently. Chapplin is alive too, and seems to have stepped up to protect Layla, as it had evolved into an Appletun in the time we were separated. Welcome home buddy.
