Update: As of late, it seems that Kit and Raviel have taken different paths...
Who'd have thought that Lieutenant Surge would've trained such a person?
Meet Raviel, often known by other Pokemon Trainers as the 'Electro Gypsy'. This wandering individual's birthplace is unknown, though he was found in Vermilion City and 'adopted' by the gym there. He worked on the gym and all of its renovations throughout the years alongside Lt. Surge, though ultimately he left at the age of sixteen due to the differences between his views and those of his 'superior officer'. A free spirit in all definitions of the term, Raviel has come a long way in the two years since his departure from Kanto.
In this time, the electric trainer encountered Takashi, alias Torment, whom he claims to rival. The two are evenly matched despite Takashi's obvious advantage due to his psychic ability. The two parted ways after their journey through Hoenn ended, Takashi going to Johto and Raviel heading for Unova, where he amassed the majority of his current team.
As for his ambition as a trainer, he is a man of many desires. First and foremost, he wishes to acquire the title of Champion in Unova with the hopes of impressing Elessa, the electric Gym Leader of that region. Admittedly, this goal comes only due to the fact that his attempts to impress her through song have failed, despite his talent. Speaking of his 'talents', his ability to produce 'fine electric beats' is infamous, and there's an obvious mythical element that works itself into his 'Techno Rock' (which he plays with a modified Keytar). Despite this, however, he never takes money for his performances, preferring to earn his way through battles as he separates his 'art' from his 'profession'...
"Music is my passion, and I'm not selling it. It's something to share, not to be bartered! But if you want to help me pay the bills, why not battle me? Same stakes as always..."
Oh, and, one last thing... Don't ask about the eye. The otherwise open and charismatic Casanova will clam up if confronted about that patch of his.
His Caravan
For a diagram of how his caravan's interior is designed and to learn how he steers the thing, click Here. Warning, image is a little on the large side.
Raviel's Caravan is a self-propelled carriage powered by an electric motor with a minimalistic design. The power cell sits in the middle of the carriage's interior underneath a table, and actually provides electricity to the entirety of the carriage, allowing for him to have simple appliances in there such as a stocked fridge and a small television that sits on the one fixed cabinet to the left of it (recieved via a practically unnoticeable dish atop the caravan). The carriage is about ten feet in height from the base to the roof, the wheels adding an additional foot to its height, with a length of about fourteen feet and a width of about eleven. This makes the carriage seem rather large, and allows for the gypsy to have quite a few luxuries such as the rather comfortable bunk bed next to the power cell. Aside from those, there's a small futon on the side of the table opposite of the beds and a few working power outlets. He even has an electric stove.
Raviel built the caravan on his own, but not for entirely selfish reasons. Between towns, he occasionally finds a lost child and offers to take them either to the town preceding them or the next town, depending on a few factors (for example, if the child is a trainer or not, as those that aren't he takes back to the town prior as an assumption that the child is running away, nine times out of ten). Raviel's Emolga, Minipete, is almost always seen inside the caravan and often recharges the power cell of its own accord, mainly because it seems to acknowledge that the replacement of the cell can be a bit tedious for his trainer. Raviel is often kind enough to allow strangers to board his caravan, occasionally asking for some low fee in order to keep himself stocked, but oftentimes omitting the request entirely.
After renovating the caravan by altering the internal dimensions to oppose those of the external ones, Kit has improved the caravan's design. This was a sort of gift to Raviel as the two grew closer and closer, stemming from steamy affairs between the two and a few 'willing' feedings of Faiga, her Charizard.
-Current Team-
Minipete (Emolga)
Eelektrik
Garvantula
Jolteon* (Not actually in party yet, need to get it from the Dream World.)
Electavire
Final slot normally belongs to either Rotom or Zekrom, depending on the scenario.
-Raviel as one of the Seventh Gym Leaders of the Salaba_Region-
Raviel and Kit have recently been asked to serve in the Salaba Region as dual Gym Leaders. They now take their residence on Romana Island, to the northeast of the mainland. The Island is, more or less, the Gym, consisting of multiple caravans in which those like Raviel roam. Trainers more or less have to guess which Caravan belongs to the Gypsy and his Partner, and if they are successful, they must do battle with them in a Team Battle. If they guess incorrectly, they must battle one of the other 'gypsies'. Due to the inconveniences this can cause, some caravans are labeled to state what purposes they serve and there are specific times that challengers may attempt to fight Raviel and Kit, noted by the large Clocktower that looms over the caravans.
Upon receiving the Zaproot Badge, trainers will now be able to use Rock Climb, and, as such, scale the giant city walls to reach the final Gym belonging to Viol.
