Personality: ☀ Reserved -- Nirav is a quiet boy who keeps to himself most times. He doesn't talk too much unless he's with people he is close to ☀ Observant -- He usually observes people and what they do. He takes notice to small details about people and events. ☀ Judgmental -- Nirav is quick to judge the people he sees and talks to. He also takes time to think over what he will do, as opposed to jumping in and hoping for the best. ☀ Caring -- To the people Nirav sincerely cares for, Nirav will do whatever he can to make sure they are doing well. His close friends, family, and pokemon mean the world to him. ☀ Dedicated -- Nirav puts his heart into his work. Likewise, if he starts to do something, he intends to finish it to the best of his ability, even if it becomes impossible later on. Strengths: ☀ With how much he helps his mom in the shop and at home, he knows how to perform various house keeping tasks, such as sewing and cleaning. However, he can only do minimal cooking (Scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, and toast namely) ☀ He's independent for an 11 year old, and feels comfortable doing things by himself ☀ Through his mom and aunt, he is fluent in Hindi. Though he knows Japanese through his dad and grandpa, he isn't fluent yet and tends to trip over longer sentences and words. Weaknesses: ☀ He's quite shy, and usually tries to keep to himself. He doesn't talk too much, especially to girls. He has a bit of trouble with talking to them especially. ☀ Having never left the Sevii Islands himself, Nirav knows very little about the rest of the world. He only really knows about Vermilion City, which is where his dad grew up and where the tourists sail in from. ☀ Nirav makes many snap judgments about people, whether he knows them or not. Biography: Nirav, the youngest of four siblings, was born on One Island in the Sevii Islands. He lived with his two parents, his older brothers, his aunt, and his grandpa. A crowded and not very wealthy household, yes, but a happy one. His father was a fisherman who sold in local markets in the Sevii Islands. His mother, a seamstress, who helped to mend and make clothing that people would come to purchase. Some of his household worked as lifeguards on the beach to raise an income, others ran the ferries to and from Vermilion City. Nirav couldn't work, but he helped his mother dye and sew, as well as bought things from the local markets for meals. They were tight for money on multiple occasions, especially when tourist season ended. But they worked together to get through it, be it in taking more hours or in helping around in the house. They all stuck together, a tight knit family. Nirav didn't think too far into the future. For a lot of his life, he assumed that when he grew up, he would find a job on One Island and help support his family, like his other brothers did. Though occasionally, he would hope to leave the island one day. He hoped for an easier life, like the ones he saw in the tourists that came to town every year.
When Nirav was eight years old, Mr. Goto was offered a better job as the captain of the S.S. Anne. Though it brought in a lot more money, it meant he was gone for a whole year at a time as he sailed around the globe. His absence left a hole in the Goto household, but they carried on a bit better now. The Goto boys were able to put more time into their studies. Nirav began learning a lot more Japanese from his grandfather, as his dad was now away and couldn't teach him it. Though he didn't go to any kind of formal schooling, he began to read more for leisure, especially poetry books. As the spring of his 11th year rolled around, his family began to talk of having him sent away for a more formal education, something his brothers had to miss out on. They wanted him to have this opportunity to further himself and have a better life. So he signed up for Ordell Academy. And when the time came, Nirav packed his bags and set off for school.

The day had been an odd one to say the least. Shortly after breakfast this morning, Nirav had gotten word to come down to the gynmasium. Apparently, all the students were being gathered up. Was this an assembly? Or maybe a surprise meeting? The school had been real fond of sudden surprises and gathering the students in one area, so Nirav didn't question a thing as he was among the last to get towards the gymnasium. Though as he made his way towards the front following a few people behind Skylar, he began to become concerned. Why were their pokemon being taken away?
As he watched her talk about her confusion and distrust over one of the academy workers, Nirav was soon forced into the gynmasium by a strange, blue pokemon. He scanned it to learn about Poliwrath, a tough fighting pokemon whose muscles seldom grew tired. He grew nervous, but it was when the walkie-talkie announced that they would all be hostages, his fears were confirmed. Nirav froze. They were... hostages? "No, no I'm not going to give them to you." Before Nirav could further voice his rejections to being a hostage, he felt something pulling on his bag: that Poliwrath from earlier was trying to take his pokemon! Nirav tugged back, not wanting to give up his pokemon. "No, stop!" he yelled. After struggle from both sides, the cloth bag tore open at the seams, the pokeballs rolling on the floor before being collected by the mechanic and her pokemon. "Hey! Give those back!" Nirav gathered the rest of his things off of the floor, including the tattered remains of his knapsack. "You... You can't do this! Why would you do this!?" This was the loudest Nirav had been all year, and easily the most scared. What had they all done to deserve this?

Nirav lost his battle against Koru in Round One of the Tournament
☀ Frequently writes in a journal, but would die if anyone read it ☀ Writes with his right hand. His handwriting is small and neat. ☀ Is far better at writing coherently to people than speaking coherently to people ☀ Halloween, Yr. 1 [male meowstic, paired w/ Cyril]
☀ In the Sevii Islands, there is very little distinction between seasons. It's usually around 80-90 degrees Farenheit. In the winter, it doesn't get lower than the 70s. ☀ The islands' main revenue come from tourism in the summer and winter, making spring and fall off seasons dependent on fishing alone. ☀ Doesn't celebrate Halloween at home. It's the middle of the off season, so there's really not the time/money to do so. Usually, the kids are just given the day to play on the beach.

Nirav's Private Journal No Peeking!
Year 1:
October
October 3rd, 20XX: It's a few days before I go to Ordell, and I almost don't want to go. What if I don't like it there? Or everyone is mean? What if it's super cold all the time? Everyone insists that going away to go to school is what is best, but it isn't anything my brothers have done and they're doing fine. I don't even have a pokemon to bring; what if the pokemon the academy gives me doesn't like me?
It's going to be weird being away from my family. No extra person to help with dinner or with the shop... Will they be ok? Grandpa told me not to worry and to make the most of it. That, and to keep up with learning Japanese. I told him that I'd try, and I will, but it's definitely gonna be strange. I'm going to miss everybody here. Hopefully I can come back and help once I'm done with the school year, or on break or something. I'm really going to miss home.
Waves wash along the sandy shores: a calming farewell from his home
October 15th, 20XX: School is absolutely nothing like home, which is kinda bad and kinda good. Everyone here is eager to chat and talk, which I can't stand. I get nervous and stutter and I can tell they notice. I'm hoping that once they realize I don't want to talk, they'll just leave me alone. But none of them do! Nobody looks like me, people ask about my turban, and everyone already knows each other since I came in late. It's super awkward.
I did meet a few people in particular. A girl's Ponyta ate my lunch and a Snivy then destroyed it. Even now, I'm still pretty hungry. All I've had is a granola bar.
On the positive side, I got a pokemon. An Eevee actually, who I named Raja. He and I seem to be on the same level in terms of dealing with people, which is really nice. That and the library here is massive. There's nothing like it back home. Books everywhere, organized beautifully. And what's even better? People don't talk to me in there. I've read so many books already. Arguably, read more books than talked to actual people, but I don't really mind honestly. But we're going on some kind of trip this weekend, so I have no books to read. Maybe it'll be fun. I don't know really.
October 26th, 20XX: If I appear to be writing down history facts, maybe Ms. Floros will not call on me in class. La di da, Great War. Lugia. Sinnoh. Please call on someone else.
Please do not call on me. I know the answer, but I hate speaking up
. . .
Though in class, he dreams to not say a word His need for an A leaves that dream shattered.
October 28th, 20XX: So one of the loud boys I met on the trip, Izzy or something, gave me a flyer for his Drama club a few days ago. I never considered joining a club since clubs mean new people and Drama sounds like having to talk on stage. But there is also room for backstage work, like sewing costumes. It's been forever since I've gotten to sew something new. I'm almost considering it. I could always go to one meeting and check it out. No harm... right?
October 29th, 20XX: Today feels almost like a blur. I found a jacket outside earlier. Don't know who it belongs to but I hope they don't mind me borrowing it. It's getting too cold; I can't ask my family for a coat. Those cost way too much and what we have at home is not going to help the winter here. I also caught a Drifloon! Don't know what to name him yet, but he led me to find Silvano in the woods?
He looked absolutely awful, but he was glad to see me. We exchanged numbers and the Drifloon helped us out of the forest. We got patched up at the nurse and got food at the cafeteria. He was really thankful Drifloon led me and Raja to him. Who knows how long he had been out there?
October 30, 20XX:
In these chilled days, I long for the scorching heat and salty air of home.
Reunion with those sandy beaches and clear blue skies are all that I ask.
But do tell! Once the familiar shores greet me, will I miss this cold?
