Jonathan (Rotom)

Jonathan, nicknamed Jon, is a rotom belonging to David Riley Albright. He conventionally takes on the appearance of a Lillifuture rotomdex.

Configuration

Rather than a pokéball, Jon is frequently kept in various devices, more often than not smartphones. His most frequent appearance is that of a Lillifuture rotomdex, which is itself part pokédex and part tablet computer. He speaks human languages and does so almost in exclusion, though he can and occasionally does speak to other pokémon in monese.

He uses an attachable hard light projector to transform his appearance to that of a male human from the early 21st Century. Although the appearance of this disguise can vary (and is often used to impersonate his trainer should the need arise).

As a dex, he has encyclopedic knowledge of pokémon that spans the best knowledge available in the 2040s.

Personality

Jon is innately curious about the past and loves exploring and learning, owing to him inhabiting a dex. Although more than likely to follow Dave's lead in regular situations, he does occasionally overturn instruction, especially when motivated by his trainer's well being. He is immensely and unfailingly polite and diplomatic in times when his trainer isn't. He often uses his pokédex archives to help his team strategize and has the potential to be a remarkably formidable trainer in his own right. However, he retains most of the functions of a trained pokémon and often needs to be reminded that he can be autonomous (especially when imitating a human).

He shows immense interest in playing the role of a humanoid superhero or action hero and often adjusts his hard light appearance to mimic battle damage.
