'Scuse me! This thing on?

Hello? You guys can hear me, right? Right?!

...oh, ya can? Oh, that's good. For a few seconds there I was thinkin' ya couldn't hear me! (''laughs'') Anyhoo... name's Sinatra. Heard they were givin' out pages ta other members of Kim's team, so I figured-- why not join in on the fun? Might as well get a bit more time ta shine in the spotlight! I mean, I got enough money from my performances as is...

WHAT?! YOU HAVEN'T HEARD MY PERFORMANCES?!

...heh. Sorry. I'll talk more 'bout those later. For now, allow me to introduce myself. Like I said, I'm Sinatra. I'm [[Kimberly Bond]]'s Furret, and I'm the second Pokemon that Kim caught on her journey-- nice ta meetcha! 

Assumin', of course, that you're reading this... 

Are ya?

Thought so! Then let's get this show started, shall we?

== Personality ==

Alright, I'll admit it-- I'm pretty much Frankie himself if he died and got reincarnated into a Furret's body. Jersey accent? Check. Wit? Check. Charisma? Check. Temper? HOOOOOO-BOY CHECK! Seriously, ya wanna see me fly into a rage at the slightest inconvenience? HERE YA GO, LADIES AND GENTS! Course, I'm still not as bad as that crazed Kingler [[Peechee]]- seriously, what ''is'' it with him? He got a split personality or somethin'?- but it's still a problem. Well, at least it is for them. But don't you dare think that this doesn't mean that I don't care! I absolutely care! What kind of team member would I be if I didn't care?! Ya think I can't control myself whenever [[Freddie]]'s around? Jeez! I mean, I did it whenever he was scared of anything; give credit where it's due, why dontcha?!

Anyways... yeah, suffice it ta say, I got another thing in common with good ol' Frankie-- I like to talk about myself. I know, I know, "vanity is a sin", "pride cometh before a fall" and all that, yadda yadda yadda-- but seriously! I was a traveling singer for months before I met Kim! I went around singing Frankie's hit songs, and people loved me for it! They flat-out gave me money and I put it in my hat!

Yep, that's right, folks- I do performances. And if ya don't like 'em... then like I said before, ya got no taste in music! 

In fact, I did one when I first met Kim, back when I was a Furret. "New York, New York"- pretty proud of that one, honestly. And why wouldn't I be?! That performance got me a freaking Trainer! 'Course, if I ''don't'' get ta play an instrument or perform something... I can get pretty miffed. I live for performing, for crying out loud! Heck, I got selected ta play the trumpet in Kim's band, New Dawn's Dreamers-- AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET TA PLAY IT! The two songs that she performed at the Cafe Sonata didn't even have a trumpet solo! I was hopin' they'd get ta play Vienna, but then Kim forfeited ta [[Colton|Kendall]] and Shadow Cast!

...Ah, well. Hopefully, I'll get ta play it again. Besides, I gotta admit-- that performance of "Jambi" was really freakin' good. 

And that's saying a lot, because I know a thing or two about performances!

Speaking of Kendall, though, Kim often compares me to him. I'll admit, I can kinda see why she would do that-- we're both stubborn, snarky Castelians who genuinely do mean well, after all. The only difference is that Kendall's not into Frank Sinatra music like I am. 

But enough about Kendall! This is ''my'' page! 

Anyways, back ta my anger issues. The good thing about them is that I can get righteously livid whenever I see somethin' that ''really'' ain't right. Case in point: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, WHATSOEVER, ABOUT WHAT THEY DID TA DIO?! Seriously! His old Trainer flat-out GASLIT HIM and SLASHED HIM WITH A KNIFE ACROSS THE FACE! Peechee flat-out wants ta kill him, and while I'm not one ta kill people, I honestly don't blame him for wanting to! That old Trainer does not deserve ''any'' Pokemon!

...can ya tell how happy I am that Dio's safe with Kim now?

Anyways. In battle, my strategy is simple: fight first, act questions later. 'Course, Kim hasn't used me in battle since I evolved into a Furret. Makes sense, really-- don't have much in the way of cool moves yet, since I'm a Normal-type. Well, other than Brick Break, that is. Brick Break's a pretty cool move, to be honest. But still, we Furret are more versatile than ya think they are! Once I get some cool coverage moves and stuff like that, YA BETTER USE ME MORE, KIM! YA HEAR ME?! 

Alright. Let's finish this up. Kim has this weird habit where she writes down info about her newly-caught Pokemon's personalities. I was the first one ta get mine!... as far as I know, anyways. She's probably got one for [[Paul (Kim)|Paul]] too, but I haven't seen it yet. With that being said, here's my profile. Gotta say, it's pretty dang accurate: 

"''NEW POKEMON CAUGHT: SINATRA THE SENTRET. VERY CHARISMATIC. LIKES TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. APPARENTLY HE HAS A STUBBORN STREAK, ACCORDING TO THE POKEDEX. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN HIS LOVE OF "MY WAY", THEN. WONDER IF HE KNOWS THAT TECHNICALLY, THAT SONG'S KALOSIAN. HE ALSO HAS A BROOKLYN ACCENT AND PLAYS THE TRUMPET. I WASN'T INTENDING TO HAVE A TRUMPET SOLO IN MY BATTLE OF THE BANDS PERFORMANCE, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE WE CAN FIT ONE IN THERE SOMEHOW. JUST GOTTA THINK OF A SONG THAT COULD WORK...''"

I got one for you: "Vienna"! Ya ever heard of it?!

== Details ==

* '''Met:''' So Kim met me on Route 22 in Johto, near Goldenrod City-- same place she ran into [[Dio]]. I was her first capture-- lucky me, huh? Anyways, yeah, we've been friends ever since. 
* '''Ability:''' Keen Eye. Wanna see if you can try ta lower my accuracy? Sorry! Can't do it! Not with the ability I have!
* '''Favorite Move:''' Foresight. Which I STILL haven't used yet, by the way! Seriously, Kim, ya coulda used me against Allister! Did you forget I had that move on me or something?! Anyways, yeah. That move helps me hit ghosts-- which is pretty dang useful, if ya ask me. 
* '''Nature:''' Adamant. Yep, I am pretty stubborn. Is that a bad thing? 
* '''Characteristic:''' Somewhat va-- SOMEWHAT vain?! '''''SOMEWHAT--?!'''''
* '''Ball:''' ...I think you already know by now that Kim just uses Poke Balls on all her mons. How many of those does she have, anyways? A hundred? She already has 19 Pokemon!
* '''Evolves in:''' [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12971269370a74820100&page=22557 I was the first one ta do it, baby! Did it while doing one of my favorite things in the world-- performing "My Way" in a Battle Royale!]
* '''Hasslemon typing quirk''': <code> {{color|#D2691E|So... yA mAy hAve heArd thAt All oF Kim'S monS decided to get typing quirkS.

== Trivia ==

Alright! Ya wanna know more about me? I'm glad you asked! 

* I was named after good ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra-- and I really don't think I need to explain to you why...
* So when we went to the cafe to perform, I couldn't play the trumpet because I had paws! Sheesh, can you believe that?! Anyways, Kim got one of those choker thingies from Colton and turned me into a human, and she gave me a human name-- Artanis Francis-- "Art" for short. Once again, ya have Frankie ta thank for it-- the first name is just "Sinatra" spelled backwards and the last name is derived from "Frank". Probably the most unoriginal name ever-- don't tell Kim I said that, though.
* I have two chat handles. The first one- my regular chat handle- is ''ArtFrancis'', and you already know where that comes from. The second, though-- that's the one I use for [[Hasslemon]], and that's ''wanderingMustelid (WM)''. I have no freaking clue what a "mustelid"  is, but "wandering" definitely fits-- I ''was'' a travelling performer before meeting Kim. Oh, and there's also this one meme of a Furret just walking around to Accumula Town music. 
* Finally-- CHARACTER THEMES! Hoo-boy, baby, this is where it gets really fun! Kim gave everyone two themes-- a regular theme and a Broadway theme. For me, my regular theme is obvious. It's "My Way". It's Frank Sinatra's biggest freaking hit, the song I evolved to, and an ode to my adamant nature all in one. It's freaking PERFECT. Now as for the Broadway theme... it's this song called "Don't Break the Rules" from this musical called ''Catch Me If You Can''. I listened to it, and I like it. First of all, it's jazz! And it has trumpets! Whoever made the musical has taste, I tell ya! But more importantly... yeah, I'd probably be the first one on Kim's team ta tell somebody else not ta break the rules. I'm a bit of a stickler. (Even [[Ozzy]]'s not as much of a stickler as I am! Don't tell Ozzy that, though.)

So... yeah! That is it! Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming to this performance today, but I gotta go and talk ta Kim about something. A few things, actually. 

Alright, folks, I'm out! 

Make sure ta send me your money! You can put it in this hat I got right here...
