"I don't want to look away."

Sable Aomori is the daughter of Pokemon researchers and a very driven young woman. She has always had trouble with people, but her mother's protection shielded her from many of the consequences of that trouble. Now though, for better or for worse she is out in the world on her own. Her goal of victory in the Pokemon League is only one of her concerns; the changes coming to Nede are something she has chosen not to ignore, and the worlds beyond are part of the vistas she wants to see. She goes on her journey with her family's secret ninja skills, her Pokemon, and a boundless thirst for understanding that may yet see her through the many dangers ahead. One danger, though, is of running up against the very protection that allowed her to flourish in the first place.

Background

While she was born in Fuchsia City, Sable grew up on Cinnabar Island, a tropical paradise filled with researchers--and sometimes tourists. Her mother and father are both scientists, studying pokemon behavior and habitats, and she has an older brother! She would do a lot of traveling though; her mother regularly took her back to Fuchsia to see her extended family, where she made some good friends. Additionally, she periodically got to see Pewter, for her brother's father.

But mostly, she grew up on the islands, learning to swim early and being the darling of a number of scientists who appreciated the serious little girl. Her mother Anne was very protective; Sable was a little different from most kids even at a young age, and she picked up on that.

Eventually, though, even with her mother asking her to wait 'another year' Sable set out on her Pokemon journey, with her partner Ulpi, a Piplup. She even completed the first part of her Gym challenge in Pewter City!

Chapter 3 Act 1

Sable learns of the Ten Wise Men and Team Rocket, and is daunted by both. After seeing Visitors in action and working alongside them, she decides to do her part in the fight--and sets aside her Gym journey for a time in order to prepare for this new mission.

Seeing war up close changes her approach somewhat, but strengthens her resolve.

Since, she has had the chance to meet a number of people and learn many different ways of living. She's fought Solaris over Nedian technology, fought Team Rocket, and learned about her own family's involvement in the matters of Nede's future. She has also made good friends.

She intends to visit the Four Fields, to prepare for the Ten Wise Men, and find out what's important to her.

Skills, Powers and Abilities

Sable is an able Pokemon Trainer, proficient in various battling techniques. She has a strong bond with her Pokemon, is good at catching more, and can effectively train a variety of them. She is particularly good at defensive techniques, knows her type matchups, and is adept with TMs, which she uses to teach her Pokemon new moves for particular challenges.

While she isn't a prodigy like some, she's a little older than many who started their journey before her, and has the benefit of a great education from her researcher parents.

She is also (secretly) a ninja! She learned her mother's stealth and infiltration techniques, and while she is not a combatant on the level of the average Drifter these days, these skills serve her quite well in exploration and getting around in general. These techniques include ancient methods of alchemy and compounding, at which she is very good. She is versed in healing Symbology, though she hasn't practiced using it in combat much.

She's also great at fishing! Sable is an adept angler.

Pokemon Team

Name	Type	Nature	???
Prinplup	Water	Brave	'Ulpi'. With Competitive abilities, he's quite proud. He is also magnanimous, viewing himself as a noble knight. He has learned a little Blue Magic. He also evolved, after a fight with Cynne on Mt. Moon.
Dratini	Dragon	Relaxed	'Artan'. Has the Shed Skin ability, and loves to be admired. Sable met him in Fuchsia City's waterways.
Vulpix (Alolan)	Ice	Timid	'Xirua'. Snow Cloak is her Ability. She is quite mysterious, met around Cinnabar Isle.
Growlithe (Hisuan)	Fire Rock	Sassy	'Kasu.' Justified is her Ability. She joined Sable on the slopes of the Cinnabar dormant volcano, after she and Timu helped to put some spirit related to her to rest. Sable doesn't entirely understand what happened, but Kasu followed her and is very affectionate. She believes that Kasu doesn't want to be alone, either.
Cubone	Ground	Quiet	'Eno'. He was traded to Sable from Nina when she was younger. She is strong enough to Train him now, and he's become a powerful member of her Team.
Onix	Rock Ground	Calm	'Ishka'. She is very relaxed, but shows great interest in many things. She loves to explore. Much larger than the average Onix.

Other Pokemon

Name	Type	Nature	???
Sudowoodo	Rock	Careful	'Blok'. He has the Rock Head ability. He doesn't like meteors.

Bellsprout	Grass Poison	Lonely	'Prima.' Chlorophyll is her Ability. Sable caught her to help with Misty's Gym, but hasn't yet challenged it. She's raising her carefully, and has come to appreciate her in her own right.

Relationships

Name	Image	Type(s)	Info
Anne Aomori		Grass Dark	Sable's mother. Sable regularly talks about the things Anne says as wisdom, and while she's always been perhaps overly protective of Sable, Sable doesn't begrudge that. She knows her mother as someone who enjoys fun after she's gotten all her work done, and has a great sense of humor. She's also used to her mother's dating life being kind of complicated. Unfortunately, it would seem her morality is also complicated. Sable has learned that her mother is a member of Team Rocket, and is unhappy about it. She's resolved to find an alternate approach for their family.
Edgar Chiba		Fire	Sable's father. He's a researcher like her mother, focusing on Pokemon habitats. While he and her mother never married, he still spent a lot of time with her growing up in Cinnabar, and his easy smile and sense of humor were always nice. He's never seemed to worry all that much, except for about her. While her mother sometimes says he's kind of frivolous, Sable thinks Anne likes him anyway, and does not object to his attempts to get back together with her mother. He's on an extended study in Armslock. She isn't sure what he'll do about her mother's affiliation, if anything, but she knows she can go to him if she needs to.
Whit Aomori		Flying	Sable's older brother. He is a travel writer, who as of the opening of Energy Nede even writes about locations in Filgaia and Lunar. Sable thinks he's very cool; while he grew up and left the house before her by a good while, she looks forward to seeing him when she gets the chance. She likes Chauncey, too! Does he know about Mom?

Name	Type(s)	Info
Nina Chiyome	Fire	Her oldest friend, in terms of time known. She and her sisters are training partners for her too! She likes Nina, and enjoys her art, even though it is ILLEGAL. She's a little oblivious to some things, but relies on her. Now that they're getting involved in more dangerous things, she hopes Nina can stay safe. The Pokemon Nina gave her is being very helpful!
Loren Voss	Ground	He seemed prickly at first, but Sable didn't mind that. Now he's attacking places with his Pokemon. She tried to be welcoming, but...
Ethius Hesiod	Normal	A xenoanthropologist. He's not a ghost! Sable was able to help him with Pokemon knowledge, and was happy about that. He seems very kind, and is helping with the Ten Wise Men. He's come to understand Pokemon well himself, and she feels that they're both ready to try the Four Fields.
Mia Tamaoka	Dark	Mia goes by Mia, now! She's still in Team Rocket, but seems to have grown more serious about her life. Sable considers her a rival.
Arisugawa Joy	Psychic	She seemed nice, and could read Pokemon's hearts. Sable saw a lot of similarities between them, though Joy has more experience. Joy gave her a training aid!
Citan Uzuki	Ice	Very nice, but also mysterious. He has a Mimikyu! He seems very knowledgeable, and Sable likes him.
Lan Lilac	Normal	She seemed to like Artan a lot! Sable suspects she might be scatterbrained, but that's OK. She has a brother, too!
Luna Meitner	Fighting	She's a warrior. She's very prickly, and that's probably going to get her into trouble.
Ruth Pauling	Dark	Frightening, but also kind. Sable doesn't understand her, but she helped to give Sable resolve. ...Still scary, though, with that gun of hers.
Ida Everstead-Rey	Dragon	A scholarly Visitor who wants to help. Sable appreciates her guidance, and finds a kindred spirit in her connection to the fossils of the Hyadeans.
Shige Kiwako	Ghost	She seems concerned with others, which makes sense for someone who cares for ghosts. Sable won't listen to her cautions entirely, but she knows she means well.
Timu Guado	Grass	A Visitor who is more different from most, but at the same time has embraced Nedian ways more than most. They're friends now, and Timu seems to understand better than anyone else her troubles with her family. She's glad that Timu has come to Energy Nede.
Chase	Electric	Quiet, but intense. He's very good with Pokemon. His Pikachu is extremely cute... And he's a good person.
Dirk Swordsman	Steel	He's really cool...
Chartreuse Spinosa	Rock	A real academic who likes Sable's ideas! She seems very nice. Her Mareep is nice, too.
Seraph Lanval	Water	He's not a ghost. He's alive! He's a little sloppy, but Sable's mother says not to hold people having fun against them too much. He's very helpful, too.
Rille Felis	Fighting	She's very cool. She seems like the kind of person to look after people, and Sable has seen she's a fighter. She hopes Rille can protect that city...
Josephine Lovelace	Flying	She loves birds. She's like a cool aunt. She knows about a lot of things!
Rena Lanford	Psychic	She's a Nedian, but also a Visitor. Sable thinks they have a lot in common. They'll fight together for Energy Nede.
Hannah Curie	Normal	Hannah seems very nice, and seems to know a lot about adventuring in other worlds. She has an Absol! Hannah works for Sable's mother. Does she know?
Blue Oak	Normal	He seems kind.
Jessie	Poison	Jessie is an old family friend; Sable's mom knew her mom. But now she's in Team Rocket. She'll have to talk to her...
Asgard	Fighting	Asgard understands 'strength.' He talks like Sable's mother, and helped her figure out what her mother was up to. She wants to grow, but she isn't sure she agrees with Asgard's beliefs about Pokemon.
Xantia	Fighting	She was scary, but now she seems nice.
Vivace Mori	Steel	A new friend. Sable met her previously and thought her perspective on Steel-types was interesting, but then got to know her better over a discussion of the Four Fields and a battle. She's willing to trust Vivace.
