Judges:Autumn Bringfire | Carl Paiva |
Isaac KingMorale Officer: RileyIntern: DomCarl PaivaCo-Administrator and Judge of the 2010 Pokémon Creative Battle Club: Offshoot Tournament
Age: 27 Years Old
Height: 5’ 8”
Gender: Male
Town of Origin: Mauville City
Trainer Title: Freelance Reporter
Badges: 7
Notes:-A friendly fellow, but kind of absent-minded.
-Being new to this whole "judging" business, he will try to sound professional - but will easily admit his lack of experience.
-May be prone to writing notes and taking snapshots of the battles he judges - after all, he's still a reporter.
-Still thinks he understands what pokémon say (when he most certainly DOESN'T).
During the first PCBC Tournament, Carl worked on a journalistic coverage of the event - during which he did a few investigations of his own, temporarily became the administration's "official" reporter, and managed to battle his way up to the 3rd round. Three years later, he now works as a freelance journalist, doing odd jobs for reasonable prices - which not only allows him to travel around, but also gives him more time for training.
While working on an in-field report about recent improvements to Goldenrod Gym, Carl heard news about the presence of Tin Tower employees in the city, and some supposed new project. Setting out for a potential scoop, he manages to find them, and is nearly immediatly recognized for his work with the news site (altough his participation in the tournament apparently fell into obscurity). They mention the new project - a paralel tournament that would happen in junction with the more official PCBC 2 - and the lack of availiable judges at the moment. Carl jokingly offers to be one, and to his surprise, is accepted on the spot - they either thought someone closer to the public could work well, trust on his work based on their previous "partnership" and his supposed experience with battles, or were just happy to find someone with any interest in the position. Despite some initial confusion, he decides to take the job; it could be interesting, and some great stories could come out of this.
Likes: Travelling, doing things on his own pace, anything interesting-looking (places, people, pokémon), casual clothes (the coat was part of the regulation), Kodak moments.
Dislikes: Excess paperwork, reporter Gabby (from Hoenn), beedrills and vespiqueens, charlatans, making promises (won't stop him, tough).
Pokémon Team:Note - As per the PCBCOS Judge Regulations, his team was supposed to follow a thematic color pattern... something he was only told of after the team was already assembled. The problem was hastly (and rather effectively) solved by a liberal use of green and gold paint.
