Gino

"Ooh, foreshadowing :3“

Species: Salamence (Shiny)

Gender: Male

Nature: Jolly

Ability: Intimidate

Obtained: Castelia City

Ball: Quick

Name Basis: Character from Code Geass

General Description: Gino is quite the unusual Salamence. Not only is he Shiny, but he seems to think he’s a catlike Pokémon rather than a Dragon. He purr-growls when happy, plays with cat toys, and ends many of his sentences with “nyan, ” among other catlike behaviors. He’s highly affectionate, and many are surprised to see a Salamence nuzzling them. However, he’s just as powerful as any other member of his species, and his attacks are devastating to the unprepared. He also has an uncanny ability to break the fourth wall, and even defeat it in combat.

Trivia

• Gino lapses into more typically draconic behaviors and mannerisms when sufficiently angry as opposed to his usual catlike ones.

• Gino often takes catnaps, and also curls up into a half-Shelgonlike, half-catlike ball to sleep.

• In Silent's ficverse continuity, Gino guest-stars in the preliminary release of Built for Risk (link), where he's one of three Pokémon in a team and he fights that continuity's incarnation of Shaun. He's seen using Flamethrower and Outrage among other moves.
