Ranchers Pokémon AU — Character Roles
Jimmy is the owner of the nursery in the Wild Area! He's also the only human working there. He mainly takes care of wild pokémon due to his location, though he won't turn down trainers either.
Tango is the fire gym leader, though he does engineering work whenever the gym's not busy (the gym's almost always busy). If people didn't take him serious for his contributions to Motostoke, they take him serious for his strength in battle.
Bdubs is the grass gym leader who seems to prioritise his sleeping hours over his gym job. Because of that, the gym has the most scattered open hours out of all the gyms in the challenge.
Scott is the water gym leader, and a constant hot topic. After all, everyone knows he's too strong to be the second gym leader in the challenge. Why would he give up a higher position that easily?
Joel is the fighting gym leader who shares his gym with Etho, running it during the day. Despite the fact his strategies are pretty predictable people still struggle to beat him — beating raw strength is easier said than done.
Etho is the ghost gym leader who shares his gym with Joel, running it during the night. He's a pretty mysterious guy to the public, barely seen outside of his gym.
BigB is the fairy gym leader, despite the fact he's one of the last leaders people have to face, he's pretty unknown. Most people who do know about him however know his fights are more than just fights — they're shows full of effects, BigB knows how to make his pokémon and their moves shine.
Grian is the flying gym leader sharing a gym with Scar, handling the non-fighting part of being a gym leader for the most part. Sometimes he'll sub in for Scar, sometimes he'll fight alongside Scar.
Scar is the ground gym leader sharing a gym with Grian, handling the battling most of the time. He loves dragging Grian out of his office to fight challengers together, though sometimes Grian has to drag him off the battlefield so he doesn't overwork himself — his disability is something he tends to forget about in the heat of battle.
Cleo is the dark gym leader, previously studying pokémon but realised battling was more their thing early on. They manage to make Spikemuth feel more welcoming to residents and visitors alike, and they're a greatly respected gym leader and person in general.
Ren is the dragon gym leader, because who fits better in the castle of Hammerlocke than a king? Despite being the last leader in the challenge, most challengers don't fear fighting against him — his battles are so full of theatrics you'll be too amazed by everything to be scared.
Martyn is a dragon gym trainer, despite his strength. Word has it he's capable of taking over the gym or becoming the next champion, but he seems happy working under his king.
Pearl is the current champion of Galar, yet many doubt how much she actually deserves that position. Many, including Pearl herself, underestimate just how strong Pearl is, both as a trainer and a person.
Impulse is an engineer working to maintain Motostoke's mechanisms, and a close friend of Tango's. Known to overwork himself to make sure everything is perfect, his work is good but he lacks the ability to take care of himself.
Skizz is a pokémon professor helping new trainers get started alongside researching pokémon and the region of Galar, and another close friend of Tango's. A man of many abilities, he helps out with the gym challenge, resolving any possible problem or conflict that may arise for challengers. While less of a mechanical guy, he helps Impulse carry stuff around so the latter can do his job — though Skizz will also remind him to stop working and take a break.
#pokeshell AU#<- temp tag but just tagging it pkmn au felt unoriginal and BORING. anyways onto my rambling#I wanted to wait until I had everyone's teams ready but life got busy!#so I decided to at least post everyone's roles as a start SO I CAN'T BACK OUT LMAO I HAVE A TERRIBLE HABIT OF GETTING SCARED N BACKING OUT#anyways as one may notice Mumbo Lizzie n Gem are missing#honestly I lack knowledge about Mumbo and Lizzie to properly give them a role?? n I didn't want anything to feel overly off so uh. yah.#we just call it hehe double life ref and move on.#“but Skizz-” where there is Impulse there is Skizz. I don't have the heart to seperate them. do you?#speaking of them I had the idea to put either their podcast or their drumming in the AU too. so maybe I'll do smth w that in the future!!#ANYWAYS while this is a rancher-centered AU there will be hints of other duos :3 not all duos r specifically from DL tho#also boat boys and desert duo sharing gyms was on accident whoopsies
