Scratch

Appareance
Scratch looks like a normal Sandslash, but there are a few differences- Scratch's left ear is slightly bigger than his right ear. His claws are also a bit smaller than those of other Sandslash's. Scratch also has a scar of a claw on his belly but it's hard to see.

Personality
Scratch is very introvert and timid and is scared of alot of things, he can be shy at times. It's not hard to fool Scratch as he is rather gullible and naive. Scratch does not like to talk about the way he feels and prefers avoiding his fears and problems than to learn deal with them, as a result he spends most of his time underground because of almost all of the things he fears, dislikes and hates are located on the surface.

Hobbies
Scratch loves to dig and spents lots of time underground searching for minerals. He had dug so much up at some point that he made storage rooms underground to store things he dug up, these rooms have collapsed, leaving a sad Scratch. Sometimes Scratch is underground for multiple days without going to the surface. Some say Scratch goes underground not because he loves it there so much but because he hates the surface.

Scratch also likes to annoy Static by calling him Stacy. But this usually results in Scratch and Static getting into a fight with eachother and Scratch is, eventhough he has the type advantage, most of the time not the one who comes out of this fight as the victor.

History
Abandoned in the desert almost right after birth Scratch has been wandering around until he found his first trainer, Nate. Scratch became his trainer and Scratch lived with him and here he met Static, Nate's other pokemon who would become one of Scratch's best friends. He also became good friends with an umbreon with the name Shadow. This friendship became also really strong and this is why Scratch refers to Shadow as his sister.

At some point Scratch was in love with a little Jolteon named Spark. Shadow was the only one who saw this and told him to ask Sparks to be his girlfriend. Scratch asked her out and she said yes. After a while Sparks dissapeared leaving Scratch frustrated and lonely.

When Static broke up with his at that time current girlfriend and everyone else could see that Shadow was in love. Because Shadow didn't dare to ask Static out, because she was too shy, she asked help from Scratch. So, Scratch asked Static if he felt the same towards Shadow as Shadow felt towards him, for her and this was going to be the start of a relationship that still is alive.

A while ago, Static proposed to Shadow, who happily agreed to marry. Scratch immediately got excited, his first words when he heared the news were: "Will there be any chocolate cake?" and "Make me many cute nieces and nephews!" When the wedding ceremony took place everybody was talking except for Scratch, well atleast after he got some chocolate from someone. Scratch fell asleep during the ceremony due to lack of sleep and the fact that it was taking really long.

Scratch's first trainer, Nate abandoned him and Static so they started searching for a new trainer. Scratch's new trainer was Lyra, a girl from New Bark Town. Scratch has always been really happy with Lyra even though he doesn't see her much. Lyra has some other Pokemon but there hasn't been any interaction with Scratch as of yet.

His sleeping bag
''Scratch's Sleepingbag

Do you literally take that sleeping bag everywhere? -Static

Scratch's sleeping bag is his favourite thing in the whole world. He has found it somewhere in the desert when he was four and now, at age thirteen he still has it. He takes his sleepingbag with him, no matter where he goes. When Scratch becomes tired he just crawls into his sleeping bag to rest. If he would ever lose his sleeping bag, he'd freak out and be crying all day long.

List of things dug up by Scratch
-Pyrite(also known as fool's gold)Scratch has found lots of pyrite and kept it in one of his storage rooms. Scratch likes the cubic structure of pyrite crystals but that's it.

-Amethyst(a certain kind of quartz) Scratch has found so much of it that he had made one storage room that was completely filled with amethyst. Scratch loves the crystals and the purple colour of amethyst.

-Emerald ,Scratch has found one emerald, polished it, and gave it to his niece Kirara because he didn't really want it and she loved shiny things. Scratch doesn't get why humans go crazy about emeralds; it has no use at all besides being pretty but unlike many other minerals you've got to polish it to make it pretty.

-Iron ore, Scratch has found one iron vein and dug it out. Scratch kept it in the storage room for things of which he has no idea of what to do with it.

-Copper ore, Scratch also found a few copper veins,he kept the cupper in the same storage room as the iron and for the same reason.

-Beryl,Scratch has found some bits of this mineral.
