ATREYU HARGRAVE'S INFAMY FILE

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE X PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE

INTRODUCTORY BLURB

time to break down the matrix

Atreyu Hargrave is a runaway from the Kanto region; like many others, he has been hurt rather personally by actions he suspects to have been done by Team Rocket, though no evidence has come up to prove this as fact. Before his childhood home burned down—the event that spurned him into action and throttled his world—he was known as a rough and tumble kid somewhat obsessed with the environment. He had a minor presence in online environmental science spaces and contributed a few articles to small-scale news columns and blogs, but since his departure from Kanto, all communication with associated parties has stopped. His educational career is only part of who he is and hardly dominates his personal life. He studied hard, but he also partied hard; he wasn't afraid of getting dirty in a number of different ways. He might have been on the path to joining Kanto's division of Rangers with a shining ecology degree at his disposal, but he threw it all away in favor of seeking out who might've killed his family. Aside from his cousin Embry Hawkins , who he asked to embark on this journey with him, no-one in Kanto is aware of his current location. He is unaware if Rockets were keeping close enough tabs on him to track him or not.

✦ Atreyu works at local convenience store Pik-n-Go, a small 24-hour mart with four gas pumps and cheap goods. Its mascot is a Pikipek, as the name suggests. He's had said job since graduating high school.[break]
✦ He has his motorcycle license and owns a street bike.[break]

LEAGUE KNOWLEDGE

to infinity, even beyond it, i am a comet, no destination

✦ Those with access to Kanto's police records pre-Rocket takeover will find Atreyu charged with a misdemeanor for being drunk in public on April 12th, 2016. He spent the weekend in jail but was otherwise not convicted or charged.[break]
✦ Furthermore, on October 27th, 2021, Atreyu was arrested for assault after a bar brawl went awry. Despite law enforcement being under Rocket jurisdiction at this time, Atreyu was found to have acted in self-defense and was thus let go without further questioning or charges.[break]
✦ As of September 3rd, 2023, Atreyu defaulted on his student loans. Debt collectors have been notified.[break][break]

ROCKET KNOWLEDGE

their message is clear, it's blatant, it's blatant

✦ See information above.[break]
✦ When Team Rocket seized Kanto, a team infiltrated the Kanto Radio Tower in Lavender Town. On November 17th, 2017, Trent Hargrave and Blanche Hargrave were taken into custody for three days for a review of their jobs and to reinstate them with new orders.[break]
✦ In April 2019, local law enforcement opened a case file on Trent Hargrave due to suspicion of the household being involved in smuggling various peoples, goods, and pokemon out of the country. A warrant to search the home was not obtained until December of 2019. No evidence was found.[break]
✦ The file was re-opened in January of 2023 when police was tipped off that the Hargrave family was operating a secret radio service from their home that pertained to an underground refugee service. Another search of the home was conducted, revealing incriminating evidence in their basement that confirmed Rocket suspicions. Trent Hargrave was fined and his equipment seized.[break]
✦ Trent Hargrave was fired from Kanto Radio Tower in March of 2023.[break]
✦ Rumors of continued involvement did not go unnoticed. Eradication of the family was determined. An outsourced member of Team Rocket, dorian westcliff , was selected to execute their plan. On the night of May 28th, 2023, the Hargrave family home was set ablaze. Police and firefighters were given delays to prevent evacuation. According to police reports, remains were found, but the cause of the fire remained a mystery. Currently, the case remains untouched.[break]
✦ As of January 2024, Kanto Rocket forces are unaware of Trey's whereabouts.[break][break]

PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE

do not come for the people i love, 'cause then i get scary, then i get ugly

✦ Trey was out clubbing in Celadon City, Kanto, when his family home caught fire. His mother and sister tried calling him, but he ignored their calls and voicemails until the next morning. Now, hearing his phone ring makes him anxious, and he does his best to never miss a call. He harbors immense guilt over this.[break]
✦ He couch surfed for roughly a month before finding his own apartment in Lavender Town.[break]
✦ He withdrew from school in order to pursue the case of his family's death. His personal and work life deteriorated rapidly. By January 2024, he stopped paying rent and began selling personal items to get by.[break]
✦ Neither his job nor landlord received word of termination—Trey simply left Lavender Town one day after receiving a tip online about the potential suspect for the murder of his family. All he had to go on was that the person resided in Hoenn and potentially had a Magmar, but after months with no leads, it was all he had to go on.[break]
✦ When he visited his cousin to ask him to go with him to Hoenn, he was already homeless; he was riding on the hope that Embry would say yes.[break]
✦ He had minor involvement with his father's secret broadcast, A.R.K., Assisting and Recovering Kanto. Their family home sometimes housed refugees or those planning to flee Kanto. The radio station served the entire country and was primarily focused on providing helpful information on how to stay safe, where to go for sanctuary, how to relocate, how to protect personal pokemon, who to reach out to if you needed help (as the government and police forces were now corrupt), etc. Despite Trent Hargrave losing his personal equipment, the broadcast still carries on to this day, operated by others across the nation. Various raids have been conducted across Kanto in attempts to stop it, but efforts have been fruitless so far.[break]
✦ Trey sold most of his personal possessions before traveling to Hoenn. He received a modest lump sum of money when his parents passed, which is what is currently helping him get by.[break]
✦ He has a bad habit of ghosting people, especially flings or acquaintances that he hasn't gotten to know very well.[break]
✦ He's more keen on playing with his vices now that he's more frazzled. He frequents bars and clubs across Hoenn and has picked up smoking.[break]
✦ He is paranoid that Team Rocket is keeping tabs on him, or at least they were in Kanto. He hopes he can stay undercover enough in Hoenn to avoid suspicion, but he's not exactly doing a great job of hiding that he's on a manhunt.[break]
✦ He was pursuing a career in ecology to eventually join Kanto Ranger forces, but Trey no longer feels that's possible.
