Colton

Appearance
Colton Rever is a Unovan of between late teens and early 20's. He wears a light gray jacket, in that the jacket is light. He does not seem to possess a bag, but his jacket is instead loaded with plenty of things, such as a TM case, his phone, and his Pokeballs. His hair is relatively unkempt, which mirrors the persistent uninterested look in his eyes. His sneakers possess red soles and gray everything else.
Biography
Colton works for Game Freak’s branch in Unova, but what he does specifically is currently unknown. He has, however, described that he has been called in as a representative from time to time.
History
Born and raised in Castelia City, Colton spent most of his early years holed up in his parents’ apartment complex. His father worked somewhere, but the specifics are currently unknown. What is known is that one year before the events of Black and White, his father was fired from his job, since his workplace was occupied by Team Plasma.
Without a job, they were forced to move to Accumula Town. With his parents only now noticing his fatigue and self-imposed isolation, they arranged a meeting with Professor Juniper to give Colton a Pokemon of his own. It was decided he was to be given an Oshawott.
One year later - several days of which spent bedridden due to said Oshawott constantly throwing his scalchop at Colton’s head - Team Plasma made that speech in Accumula. Watching from the window, Colton and Oshawott held equal disdain.
One week later, after much preparation, including finding and catching a Lillipup who lived nearby, Colton left on his journey. He was given an Eevee upon trying out trade. He caught a Joltik responsible for a power failure in Castelia, as well as being rewarded with a Vulpix egg for fixing it. Upon leaving Castelia, he rescued a Riolu from a trainer who was less abusive and more obsessive and stupid.
After beating his 8th gym, he saw on the news that Team Plasma was defeated. Bitter, he returned to Castelia and got a job at Game Freak. He has been called in for business trips, including one to Alola, where he first met Soujin after an encounter with Quirinus.
Alola
After said encounter with Soujin and Quirinus, Colton made his way to Route 16 after overhearing a scream. He was shortly after introduced to Pokeforms, where he attained his own. After a night screwing around in said form, he found himself getting involved with Anabel and a search for an Ultra Wormhole. The search turned up fruitless, but their group - sans Anabel - was ambushed by 817.
After shaking off the Xurkitree, he was brought to Aether Paradise. He blacked out in the chopper, waking up to find Gladion’s Silvally near the chopper. He spent some time with him before being escorted back to Ula’Ula Island. Upon remembering he had a Ride Pager, he returned to Aether Paradise, where Hephaestus was now attacking.
After Elagabalus was defeated, Colton once again returned to Malie, only to notice a U.F.O. on the other end of the Island. This somehow led to him attending a wedding in the PMD-A Universe.
Upon returning, he was close enough to see Hokulani Observatory getting ambushed by a Nihilego. He flew over, but knew he probably would not be able to help. He disembarked a short distance down, and that was where he met the first ‘mon he caught in over five years - Rei.
Upon making it to the observatory and learning of what the Bronze Birds and Auric Avenger were, he somehow made it to Poni Island, eventually catching sight of a bunch of Legendaries around a machine. Curious, he got involved and found a friend in Mahina.
After he felt he outlived his reason for being there and getting some food at Seafolk, he left for Mahie City so he could hopefully remember which challenges he had completed. Upon entering the Library, he was sidetracked by hearing that a poker game was going on with Ever, Squealer and Muninn. Halfway through the first hand, he overheard Mew Prime talking about Pokeforms. Having wanted his to evolve since he got it, he engaged, being reflexively transformed after catching her out. Then they sparred. Sylveon took over his seat at the table while Colton and Prime fought.
After a particularly brutal Stone Edge attack, Prime conceded and Colton evolved into a Dusk Form Lycanroc. Satisfied, he left the Library with Sylveon to resume his Island Challenge, retrieving his Z-Crystals from Alola's Game Freak office to learn that the Rock Trial was next. However, Olivia was actually at the Pokemon League instead, so Colton had to leave the Trial Site to the League to confront her.
Pokeworld
After finding the group trapped in the building, Colton was the first one to advance the story by finding some old media player and a key. After meeting with Terry and Petey, he was the first to engage Lena. After his methods backfired and the fleed, the group encountered Walt, who revealed that Colton actually possesses an affinity for Obscura.
After they retrieved Sam's voice, Colton left with the Darkrai to shut down the generator - and try for the first time to channel Obscura. It didn't take.
