Appearance
Ian is a kid with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. He is 4'11" tall, likes to wear striped shirts (usually with blue stripes) and shorts, because they're comfy and easy to wear and he often wears red sneakers.
As Ian the Pikipek
When Ian raises the arm his Xtransceiver is on and shouts the phrase "Bird Go!", he transforms, in a flash of light, into his superhero-in-training form, Ian the Pikipek. Ian sewed the costume himself using fabric he bought from Ersatz Alliance, in pink, red and blue sewed together with Kevlar due to its protective properties. The costume comes with a cape made to look like a bird's wings when opened and a helmet with a gold-tinted visor designed to look like a Pikipek's beak.
Personality
Ian is an optimistic and fun-loving child who is also a bit of a prankster. He has a bit of a sweet tooth and is always seeking new adventures.
History
Backstory
Born and raised in Nuvema Town, Ian was always kind and caring towards other people and Pokémon. His philosophy was "Always be Kind to those around you, and you can't go wrong!" Ian also loved to explore. He was always proud of his sense of adventure.
One day at Pokémon Trainer School, Ian and his class were all assigned their own Pokémon Egg to tend to and raise until it's time for them to set out on their journey. Ian took his Egg home with him and cared for it every day as best as he could. When the Egg hatched, Ian and his family were the first to see it. Ian's Pokémon Egg hatched into an adorable Pichu, which Ian nicknamed Piku-chan. Ian had cared for the young Piku-chan since then, protecting him from those who would do him harm.
One day, on a trip to the Kanto Region, between the events of the Kalos Arc and the events of the Ranger-2 Arc (About age 8), he made some new friends, and on a dare, he snuck in to Team Rocket's Headquarters. After a few minutes of sneaking around, he was spotted by one of the Team Rocket Grunts, who went over to see who was there. Upon seeing that it was Ian, the Grunt grabbed him by the arm, causing the young trainer to panic. Ian then kicked the Grunt in the groin, causing the Grunt to let go, giving Ian his chance to escape. "Note to self: When someone dares you to sneak in to an evil organizations headquarters, just say no." He told himself immediately after the stunt.
When he turned 10, he received his Starter Pokémon from Professor Juniper, an Oshawott. Ian's mother suggested that Ian nickname the Oshawott "Oshawittle", which he did. He then took Piku-chan, whom, thanks to Ian's friendship and care, had evolved into a Pikachu, with him, received his Pokédex and started his adventure!
After he defeated the Castelia City Gym, his Mother gave Ian a Pokémon Egg that she found, of which Ian accepted. Like with the Egg that contained Piku-chan, he cared for the Egg as best as it could until it evolved into a Larvesta, which was considered to be a rare Pokémon. Ian then named the Larvesta "Mothra", after one of his favorite movie monsters, who had been known to care for all life in the Pokémon World and wouldn't hesitate to attack those who would threaten the World or her family.
On his way to Opelucid City, he ran into a wild Ralts. Ian could tell that the Pokémon was very shy and tried to calm it down. The Ralts took a liking to him and began following Ian. Ian then gave the Ralts one of his Poké Balls, which the Ralts happily climbed into. Ian then nicknamed the Ralts "Raru".
In Search of the J-Team
On Ian's trip through Kanto, he runs into a Team Rocket Grunt who tries to steal a guy's shoes. Ian confronts the Grunt and wins, forcing the grunt to give up his Boot. Ian contemplates the mysteries of the boot as he is on his way to the Pokémon Center, when suddenly he runs into a Punk Girl named Nana, who heals Ian's Oshawott for him. Ian and Nana then exchange numbers so they can keep in touch and Ian sets off. On his way to Saffron City, he finds a newsstand run by Ever, who sells Ian a newspaper of the time the J-Team fought a 50 ft. tall tortilla on Dewford Island. This newspaper sparks Ian's interest in the J-Team, and he begins his quest to find them and join their ranks. Ian heard from Ever that there might be some J-Teamers in Vermilion City, so Ian decides to go there. After watching a rerun of an episode of the J-Team TV Show, Ian sets off for Vermilion.
On his way to Vermilion City, he almost gets run over by a Pokémon Trainer on a motorcycle, who introduces himself as Milagros. Milagros and Ian become friends and Oshawittle falls in love with Milagros' Vespiquen, Dot. As Ian and Milagros head off to Vermilion together, they see someone fall out of a tree with their Gardevoir. After climbing the tree that the girl (named Cady) fell out of, he and Milagros arrived at Ersatz Alliance. There, Ian found a pink scarf that turned him into a Ralts. After Oshawittle picked a fight with Milagros' Persian, Baby Cat, and Absol, Blitz, Ian, Cady and Cady's Gardevoir, Cecelia, calm the squabbling Pokémon with the use of Hypnosis. Ian then goes to buy his scarf, when he is suddenly challenged to a game of Arceuszilla sized Jenga for the scarf, which Ian wins. Ian then returns to Ersatz Alliance to buy some fabrics for a costume he was working on.
When Ian and Milagros leave Ersatz Alliance, they notice that Milagros' bike was vandalized, so the two split up so Ian can work on his costume while Milagros tries to find who damaged his bike as soon as they arrive in Vermilion City. Once Ian completes his costume, he notices that Milagros looks like a wreck, so he follows Milagros to the alley where they find two Team Skull Grunts. Ian and Milagros challenge the grunts and win. Once the two trainers get the bike fixed, Ian runs into Ever again, and Ian asks where the best place to find new Pokémon to befriend is. Ian heads off to Fuschia City as per Ever's recommendation...
On his way to Fuschia City, he runs into a Snorlax, which squashes him and Piku-chan flat. They then meet a travelling cowboy named Des who helps Ian with the Snorlax. Ian and Des have a battle to prove if Ian is worthy of befriending the Snorlax. He and Oshawittle prove to be a great team and Des allows Ian to catch the Snorlax, which he later names Totoro. Ian and Des part ways when they arrive in Fuchsia City, however they both know that they'll meet again.
In Fuchsia City, Ian explores the Kanto Safari Zone where he meets several of his Pokémon, like Miyako, Flap, Romie, Julie, Fluff and Joy. Ian then heads off on his Kanto Gym Challenge, where he meets Brock, challenges him for the Boulder Badge, and wins.
On his way to Cerulean City, he meets a Pokémon Trainer named Bastion, who was on the run from a criminal group who hated Weremons known as The Nameless, and the two joined forces to fight the Nameless. As they tracked the Nameless through the caves of Mt. Moon, Bastion and Ian get caught in the traps set by a female Pikachu and a Furret who used to belong to another trainer who was on the Nameless' trail, but died before the trainer could capture the criminal group. Ian and Bastion assist the two Pokémon in their deceased trainer's quest to stop the Nameless. On Route 4, Ian and Bastion, along with the Pikachu and Furret, now known as Piper and Misango, confront the Nameless and finally succeed in capturing them. Ian then challenges Misty for the Cascade Badge and wins.
Upon winning, Ian shows Bastion the very tree that first led Ian to Ersatz Alliance, where he got his scarf from. Suddenly, Ian sees that Bastion had run into a trainer named Silversmith who didn't want Bastion to buy a scarf. After a powerful speech by Ian in his Ralts form, Silversmith turns around and begins to leave. After Ian calms Silversmith down, Silversmith invites him for Castelia Cones, which Ian accepts. Ian gets some Castelia Cones (and by some, Ian meant a dozen, but the Castelia Cone seller gave him 15 for the price of 12.) Ian gave one to Silversmith and another to Sephy before heading back to Kanto through Ersatz Alliance, but not before meeting a Froslass whom he befriends and names Yuki.
The Lights Went Out On Kanto
When Ian returned to the Kanto region after his Castelia Cone run with Silversmith, he noticed that the region was a little darker than he last remembered. He went to Mt. Moon to investigate, and suddenly noticed several other trainers gathered outside. Ian recognizes several of them as people he had met on his journey and with Des' assistance, comes to the realization that he is among members of the J-Team. Ian went with the J-Teamers to the depths of Mt. Moon, where Necrozma was hiding. A great battle begins between the J-Teamers and Necrozma. Ian tries his best to contribute to the battle, and heartbrokenly withdraws Raru when the attempts to use hypnosis on Necrozma fail. Ian continues to fight his hardest along with the J-Team, when suddenly, Raru bursts from his ball with a new power, Lucky Chant! When the J-Team defeat Necrozma, they learn of Necrozma's plight, and Ian promises that he'll do what he can to help Necrozma.
The Journey Continues
After the battle, Ian continues his Gym Challenge, after an encounter with a strange pink gem that hypnotizes him and a meeting with Priscilla Kwan and her brother, Henry Kwan who save him from his entrancement on April Fools Day. Ian challenges Lt. Surge to a battle at his Gym and wins. Ian then contacts Priscilla upon noting that the gem that entranced him on April Fools Day looks like a normal Rose Quartz. Priscilla brings Ian onto the Stormchaser to discuss the gem.
Raiders of Macraul Manor
While Ian waited for the results of the gem testing, he receives a text from Merlin, who calls the J-Team into the Stormchaser's Gym and tells them about a raid on Macraul Manor to retrieve an Ultranecrozium-Z crystal that belonged to Voyd. There, Ian met a man named Reynard Albright, whom Ian referred to as "Grandpa Reynard" out of respect. Ian volunteered to use his backpack to sneak the J-Teamers into the manor. He trained his stealth as Ian the Pikipek so he could help the J-Team get the Z-Crystal. Ian ran into Des and eventually, the two were noticed by a female Macraul who went by the name "Sylvestra". Ian blushed for a split second, but brought himself back to his senses and he and Des tried to flirt with Sylvestra, failing to realize that her husband, David...
...was right behind them...
Upon realizing their predicament, Ian left Des to deal with the Macrauls who noticed them. Ian and Des soon found the collection room where the Ultranecrozium-Z was. The two then retrieved the crystal and escaped with Merlin to Lumiose City. The raid had been a success, until Ian and the rest of the J-Team were almost blown to the Distortion World by a Weezing's Explosion. The Weezing's trainer, Izaya Orihara, stole the Z-Crystal from the weakened J-Team and kidnapped Merlin. Ian tried to give chase, but it was too late. Ian fell to the floor and began to worry about Merlin. After some encouraging words from Des, Ian gets back up on his own two feet and lets out a yell of "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!" before he decided to head back to Nuvema Town.
"I need a break."
Ian arrives in White Forest on his way back to Nuvema Town via Ersatz Alliance. Ian decides to explore White Forest when it suddenly started getting foggy and a strange melody was heard. Ian went to check where the melody was coming from, and saw the Mythical Pokémon, Meloetta sitting on a log. Ian sat next to Meloetta and listened to her sing. Then, Meloetta revealed to Ian that he had the soft song of psychic power in him and told him that something was coming and that Meloetta did not know what it was or when it would arrive. Ian assured the Muse that even if he wasn't ready to face it, he would stand and face it regardless. As the fog disappeared and Meloetta with it, Ian looked around. Ian knew what he had to do and headed to Nacrene City so he could study the powers he had the potential to use.

He then does a double-take to say hello. After Ian and Nana put their Xtransceiver numbers into each other's Xtransceivers, Ian heads off to find his next adventure, as if winning a boot from a Team Rocket Grunt wasn't crazy enough...
