OC-TOBER
Day 1- Intro A Kanto-era Rocket deserter who left for Hoenn, haunted by the past and confronted with his desire to be a good person. An orphan by parent's choice and not by the lack-thereof, Ashley ran away from it all in an attempt to become a person that he could respect, but with a self-mutilating nature of thinking he deserves every bit of pain he has received since, he isn't getting closer. He's only pushing himself to higher and higher standards.
He knows this, especially after his run-in with jayden cross in a lighthouse, when he was ready to die but lived. So when the closest thing to a father figure in THEO BECKETT sees him for the first time, he makes the ultimatum. Either he burns Rocket and walks, or he burns, and walks back into the organization he deserted.
How do you think that went?
Day 2: Starter First Pokemon was this little Pichu after he joined Rocket. They were inseparable together. Often, they would snooze and watch stuff when off mission, but when on missions the duo were very compatible. She evolved quickly to a Pikachu, and soon after an Alolan Raichu. It was like having a little sister, and Ashley felt happy. He had purpose, and someone he loved like family.
And then THEO BECKETT took it away from him. More accurately, Ashley was to take her life in front of him as punishment for failure. With it, he became a much more damaged individual. This is where his guilt truly began, and the deeply rooted problems within him.
Day 3: Childhood Foster children have a really complicated life. Their parents either never wanted them, never deserved them, or never met them. To Ashley, those are the three realities he dealt with. Never meeting his parents, he was in the foster care system early, and he always considered each family a dice roll. It just happened he kept rolling closer to snake-eyes than the twelve most were lucky to get. As such, he was forced to grow up quickly, especially when he left his last home.
When he was in his teens, he met THEO BECKETT to join Rocket in Saffron City, Kanto, and he was going to make a name for himself and get the chance his parents never let him have. The naivety of a boy who believed himself to be able to do it all... sometime in that time he meets jayden cross .
Day 4: Best Friend Thing is, Isaac Merlo has really been one of the first humans he has gotten to speak with. He's been there for him, and saved his ass from the frying pan. Makes you think, it's truly hard to find a homie like that. With Isaac, he feels he has a best friend that he can rely on. Now defecting back to Rocket, it only makes it stronger.
But, before, he had another best friend. jayden cross was someone who was important to him, but after his desertion of Rocket, they lost contact. Out of choice. Now, however, he finds himself have to question it. Ashley will still look forward to more friends. Maybe more, who is to say?
Day 5: Talent Ash's talent comes in an interesting form. The moment he left Rocket and was able to live his own life, he realized there was an entire world of culinary arts. Had he the chance to make something of himself, he would have gone to school for it. The moment he puts his pink apron on, and gets to work, he's making the kitchen smell better than a date.
He makes an excellent chef in the kitchen, and with the money he made from his earlier time in Rocket, he was able to buy the tools. Watching food channels, buying cook books, he must have tried for ages. Guy spends weeks trying to make food better than what you find in a restaurant, and he threw himself headfirst into it.
Day 6: Favorite Pokemon Thing is, Ashley doesn't play favorites. Instead, his newest housemate is an egg he had found during Splashfest. On the beach, it had been alone and abandoned. So, he decided since he stayed with it all day instead of continuing his failed Magikarp Splash streak, to take it with him. After he got home, he even forked over money for a small incubator. It sit in his room, until a fateful day.
He had gone out for lunch with a friend, but they flaked. Instead, he runs into Isaac Merlo and kepler brueshaber, and after getting groceries, they hop over to his place, where the egg is just minutes away from hatching. Ashley dons his pink apron, and begins making sushi, when the new housemate pops out of his shell- literally!
Day 7: Free Space! So, if he's got his headphones on, he's got a few genres to choose from. Ashley enjoys rap, K-Pop, and R-and-B. Though he tries to enjoy all kinds of music, he still makes the preference to anything with lyrics to the instrumental side of things. Often, he'll mouth the lyrics to himself, but he's not the type to sing it. Serenading is a little cheesy, and he'd have to be awfully smitten to want to do that.
Hey, that's just fine. He likes having it to himself, in his own presence. Often, since he lives alone, he sings in the shower. Yes. He does do that. Is he good at it? I give him a six out of ten. He's not trained, but he's got the emotion right to get it down. A bit of a huskier voice to him, Ashley is a baritone.
Day 8: Pokemon Center First time Ashley ever went to the Pokemon Center was for Jubilee when she was sick. Little Pichu had a massive fever, to the point that teenage Ashley ran there in just pants and a single shoe. Probably ran a marathon that day by himself. But the good news was, Jubilee was fine! She just had a cold, nothing big!
But that night, Ashley got a cold himself. Guy was so sick from running in the freezing cold in just pants and a single shoe that he had gotten something while there. But Jubilee took care of the poor guy.
