Pope-kémon Slowking XII

As seen in the Pokémon 2000: The Power of One movie and the mini-sode Slowking's Day.

About Me
(WIP)

Early Childhood
I grew up in the Slowpoke Well just outside of Azalea Town. It can be assumed that I come from a very large family growing up there, which is true. I have one brother, who has also become a Slowking, and is traveling Sinnoh with his trainer, Conway. To be frank, I think Conway is a very odd individual, and unsettles me a tad. But enough about that. When I was born, there was something genetically different about me from the other Slow-folk living in the Well. I had the ability to speak the human language. While my parents had tried their best to keep this special gift as secretive as possible, it was somehow leaked along the Pokémon Black Market. Note that by this time, I was only a month or so old, which, to put it in perspective, a year in age for my kind is about equal to 5 human years. Needless to say, once word of my gift got leaked on the Black Market, my life would never be the same.

Slowpoketail Incident
The first problems arouse not only when my gift was revealed, but also at a time when Slowpoketail's value skyrocketed. Whether or not, they correlated is unclear, for me at least, Pokémon aren't very adept in the world of finance. The first wave of incident came when Team Rocket came out of the shadows from three years of underground activity, to come and cut off Slowpoketails in order to sell them for a fortune. Those of us that were older and had evolved already were the lucky ones. Me and my brother, being so young, were our parent's primary concern for protection. In a desperate attempt to save our tails, our arenas each gave us a King's Rock. This would at least make a potential evolution occur much quicker than naturally, where we usually evolve into Slowbro at 7 and a half years old, or Level 37. the rest of our kin were extremely helpful to my family, knowing that my gift of human speech was most likely their target. They helped our family move into hiding at the bottom of the well. There, we tried our hardest Shellder-fishing in order to get on to bite our heads so that we may evolve as quickly as possible. After about a week of vain attempts, both my brother and myself got our bites, and thus we evolved into Slowking. Unfortunately, some of the younger members of our family weren't so lucky during the Rocket invasion, like my cousin. Her tail was cut and now it is impossible for her to evolve into a Slowbro since she has no tail to Shellder-fish with. For some reason that I'm still unaware of, Team Rocket ceased their hunt for tails and finally left my home. Taking extreme precaution, my parents sent my brother and myself off to two different lands, where it would make it harder for Team Rocket to find the unusual now Slowking that can speak the human language. My brother made his way to Sinnoh where he soon met and partnered with Conway, while I myself went to Vermilion City in Kanto as a layover for my final destination.

Two Island
Upon my arrival to Vermillion City, I was soon given information discreetly to stealthily make my way onto the next ship to Cinnabar Island, where from there, I would make my way to the Sevii Islands, where I would spend the next two years. My first destination was to Two Island, where the very kind elderly woman living at the Cape on the island took me in, after explaining my situation to her. She was unconditionally kind to me and helped me develop into a more natural-based, patient, and kindhearted being. She had a small library herself, which is where I got the incentive to study at Smogon University to expand my knowledge base. Of course, I wouldn't be able to go in person since the school was back in Saffron City, and I was trying to stay under the radar. Nurse Joy allowed me to proceed with my studies in the back of the Pokémon Center where I excelled in just about every subject except for my financial classes. They weren't very comprehendible for me, and since I was raised to live off the "fat of the land." Economy just wasn't something I was concerned with, and I still feel this way. After receiving my Associate's Degree, I concluded my studies there and felt that I should go off to another island where I could live in further isolation to decide for myself what I should be doing with my life. During my time here, the old woman and myself took occasional trips to the Berry Forest on Three Island where I educated myself in natural medicinal methods and became fond of the preference of natural medicines as opposed to conventional methods by humans. This could also be influenced by the fact that I was not human and was raised on natural supplements, but I digress.

Six Island
After an emotional farewell to the kind old woman on Two Island after two years, I made my way to Six Island and settled along the Ruin Valley. Here I found myself among fellow Slowpoke, and I found myself at great inner peace. They accepted me very openly into their population and here I took the time to master my Psychic abilities and maximize my potential. I also enhanced y physical abilities swimming up and down the Water Path several times before the sun rose every day. Like I said, here I was at inner peace so the positive auras around our little population was at a level where I thought that I could live here forever. After four years here, the Dotted Cave, located in the center of the valley, started to become a very popular spot for tourists and I could no longer t\physically and mentally train myself in the solitude that I needed. Another reason driving me to leave here was the fact that the Slowpoke population was very small and consisted mostly of males, who have gone out to mate in the four years I was here. Other Pokémon soon claimed our home and didn't understand what I was trying to accomplish here. In other words, the minority of us were eventually driven out, including myself. My experience here did not end on a positive note, but my time here was well worth it. It helped me realize myself and who I was as a Slowking, and why I was born. With news that the other Sevii Islands were becoming more popular tourist spots even in the offseason, I decided to travel to the nearby Orange Archipelago and see what that group of islands had to offer me.

Seven Grapefruit Islands
Since it is a fairly lengthy to swim westward to the Orange Islands, I stopped and rested at the easternmost Island, which was the group of isles known as the Seven Grapefruit Islands. I did not stay here long; only to replenish my strength after the long swim and trying to map out my course for another island. After practically collapsing on the beaches the inhabitants here took me in openly as well. I had asked them where a good place to live peacefully with enough resources to sustain myself were, and they suggested Shamouti Island, where I would finally make my permanent residence. To clear up any misconceptions, I arrived at the Seven Grapefruit Islands three weeks before the incident caused by the gluttonous Snorlax, and I wasn't even aware what had transpired until about a month afterwards. I had only stayed on this group of islands for about two days before I set off island hopping.

Kinnow-Navel Island Midpoint
I only call it this because from what I understand, this island has no name as of yet. It should be mentioned that this island was to the west of Navel Island and Northeast of Kinnow Island. Here, once again, I mapped out the next step in my island hopping experience, calculating that Cleopatra Island would be my last stop before Shamouti. Unlike my last stop, I only rested a few hours here before I continued.

Cleopatra Island
In my last stop before heading to Shamouti Island, I noticed after a walk around the perimeter that it was uninhabited. It would have been nice to stay there and live my life, but I fear it was also an island without any Pokémon population, which surprised me for such a large island. At least the island was full of berries and other necessities that I would need for the last leg of my trip. WhileI was here though, I did meet a Seel right after I left. He was a playful yet civil chap. We still get together for some underwater adventures on occasion.
