Alex Cena

Alexander Daniel Cena (born 27 August in Snowpoint, SN) (more commonly referred to by his surname Cena or as Alex) is a Sinnohsian Pokemon Trainer, currently challenging both the Unovan and Kantoan Pokemon Leagues. He specializes in the Ice-type.

History
Alex was born in Snowpoint to two parents, Erica and Alex Cena. He is known to have three sisters - Artemis, the oldest, who is a building contractor, Alexis, who is Cena's twin, and Alicia, the youngest. They have all attempted to help Alex with his love life, and have failed spectacularly. His mother lives in Snowpoint with the girls; his father is currently missing after an expedition into the Sinjoh Ruins. The family lived very briefly in Johto, where Alex's sister Artemis went to high school with future Elite Four leader Karen Umbra.

Unovan Antics
Alex left home around in the fall in Sinnoh to attempt to conquer the Unovan Pokemon League. It was in Unova that he met Bianca, Blair, and Lea, fellow Pokemon Trainers who challenged the League of their home. He also met N, the mysterious leader of the criminal organization Team Plasma, with whom he has spawned an intense mutual hatred, spawning from Alex's feelings towards Lea, who N believed was in love with him.

A Wild Ride Through Johto
Traveling through Johto for a time, Alex was instrumental in the saving of Karen, a former Elite Four who had been seduced into working for her former Master, the The Mask of Ice. She was nearly beaten to death by her associate Keane, but because of Alex's own self-imposed debt that he had placed upon himself to Karen (she had saved his sister from a rampaging Tauros during high school), he helped her survive with the help of Mewtwo.

Returning to Unova, he befriended Lea for real, and began to take a much greater interest in her, an interest that was initially not returned. They did, however, agree to go to a New Year's party that Petrel was hosting. They went and enjoyed some time in Kanto and Johto, exploring together, much to the chagrin of N. At the New Year's party, Cena became slightly drunk and kissed Lea. The resulting drama led to awkward moments throughout their trip to Kanto and Johto. The two have reconciled, though, and have become good friends ever since.

Confusion and Near-loss
Upon his return to Unova, Cena began to refocus on his efforts to win Badges and challenge the Elite Four of the region. But ties to Kanto, including the two badges he had earned there, as well as a proposed plan by Karen, kept him traveling between the two regions. It was during this time that Cena began speaking to Ashley Amaya, a field agent for Team Rocket and an acquaintance from his travels there. The two began talking more, and Cena slowly found himself falling for her. He did, however, still harbor feelings for Lea, so he spent his time traveling between regions, training for either league, prepared to make his move on either girl. When Cena and Ashley hung out together, he began to lose interest in Lea, despite the two bonding over an epic game of tag.

Ashley, however, having suffered her own emotional heartaches, ran away from a Rocket base and nearly committed suicide. Karen saved her, and Cena was amongst the first to visit her in the Plateau's infirmary, along with other close friends Shion and Katie. The two bonded more, but when Ashley openly admitted to loving her longtime friend Miles, Cena realized there was nothing he could do, so he confessed his feelings for her and simply accepted that they would, for the moment, remain friends.

Their interactions, however, proved that there was something between them, something Ashley admitted, despite her lingering feelings for the ever-absent Miles.

Happiness
The two spent time together at their friend Shion's house, and then at Ashley's house in Cherrygrove, the latter ending mysteriously. It was later revealed by Cena's Gardevoir, Mira, that Cena and Ashley had begun a relationship, having kept it secret for a time.

Known Pokemon
Cena is known to have at least 11 Pokemon:

Cena has also caught a Seel that has not been named yet.

Appearance
Cena is relatively short and stocky. He has dark skin, reflecting his Mexican heritage, and is not thin, prefering to call himself husky.

Personality/Psychology
Cena is an incredibly loyal guy who sticks by his friends through thick and thin. He'll find ways to help his friends, defend them from others who would do to hurt or impede them, and would rather die than betray one of his friends. Because of this, he's often been called naive.

Because of his upbringing in an all-girls household, as well as his older sister's constant lessons on how to meet girls, he has become something of a mix between a "ladies' man" (constantly flirting with women around his age) and a person with deep respect for women. He will, for example, briefly flirt with a woman and then, after saying something unsavory or ungentlemanly, plead for forgiveness.

One of the worst traits he has, though, is that one of his first reactions to seeing things not going his way or against his beliefs is to run from the situation, as evidenced by his running from Unova when it was apparent that Lea had taken a liking to N instead of him. He's tried to stop this behavior, but it has still lingered.

Bianca
Bianca was one of the first friends Cena made in Unova. He initially took an interest to her, but after finding out about their age difference and her obliviousness to any romantic gesture because of her innocence and idealism, he simply accepted her as a close friend. Cena caught a Pidgeoto in Johto as a present for Bianca when she lamented on her lack of a Flying Pokemon so that she could travel.

Lea
Whitlea Touko was another friend Cena met in Unova. Orignally only meeting during an encounter with N, he began to develop feelings for her later on. They went to Petrel's New Year's Eve party and, with the help of some champaign, shared a New Year's Kiss. This was a mistake, however, and it nearly cost them their friendship. However, the two have reconciled, and Cena has attempted on many occasions to court her, although now they seem to be content with simply calling themselves friends. Their relationship drama also spawned an intense rivalry with N, who had fallen for Lea and considered Cena to be attempting to "steal" her away, despite Lea's feelings of disgust towards N.

N
As mentioned above, N began simply as an acquaintance of Cena's, and when Cena began to court Lea, N became supremely jealous. N and Cena often verbally quarrel, and N has expressed both hatred and apathy towards him. Despite seemingly returning those feelings, Cena secretly pities N, and hopes that he finds his right path and that they may be, at the very least, friends.

Karen
Karen went to the same High School as Cena's older sister Artemis. During a school outing to the Safari Zone, Artemis accidentally caused a stampede of Tauros, nearly costing her life; had it not been for Karen's budding Elite Pokemon training skills, she might not survived. As such, Cena thought that his family owed a debt to the Dark-type master, so when the Mask of Ice returned, Cena traveled to Kanto to attempt to return her to the side of good. In the end, Cena helped Mewtwo rescue her from near-death at the hands of fellow Mask agent Keane. Karen calls Cena "kid", and views him as a "scatterbrained neurotic teenager with a good heart and lots of potential".

Shion
Shion Kitakami was one of the girls Cena talked to frequently. He briefly flirted with her, but after traveling to Johto just to invite her on a date, Cena found out that she was 4 years older than him (21 compared to his 17) and a nearly-out-of-the-closet lesbian. Though he attempted to reconcile their friendship at least, he nearly got her killed by exploding Voltorb in the process. The two have since made up, however, and have bonded more over the situation with their mutual friend Ashley.

Artemis
Cena's older sister and most trusted confidante, she constantly berates him at his failed efforts to court girls. The two share a fondness for architecture, and Cena designed his dream Gym with her assistance. He has attempted to help her overcome her Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (caused by her nearly-fatal encounter with Tauros) by helping her train a Togekiss named Dawn.

Ashley
Originally an acquaintance from speaking with people in Kanto, Ashley Amaya quickly became the subject of his affections. The two hung out once in Goldenrod, and had a good time. However, Ashley's life as a Rocket Grunt was far from perfect, and she attempted suicide before Karen rescued her. Cena was the first to be at the Plateau when he heard she was being treated there. He stayed with her overnight along with Shion, Katie, and Miles. The two bonded, but when Ashley revealed her feelings towards Miles, Cena knew that they could not be more than friends. Cena has since resolved to joining Team Rocket to protect Ashley from whatever may happen to her while on the team.

Trivia

 * Alex Cena is portrayed by Cena on PokeTwitter.
 * Most of Alex's Pokemon are given relatively normal names, but some of them are references to video games, pop culture, or Cena's life:
 * Washington is a double reference, refering to both the 1st president of the United States of America and Agent Washington, a character from the Halo machinima Red vs. Blue.
 * Setsuka is named for the Soul series character of the same name. "Setsuka" is a Japanese word meaning "Snow Flower".
 * Arthur is named for Cena's real first name, and means "bear".
 * Kendra and Dawn are named for Cena's coworker and friend Kendra Dawn, who prefers to go by K.D.
 * Nathan is named for Nathan Drake, the protagonist of the Uncharted series.
 * Revolver is named for Revolver Ocelot, a character from the Metal Gear series, and is a joke: when said together, his nickname and his species names sound like "Revolver Ocelot" ("Revolver Oshawott").
 * Cena graduated early from High School so that he may take his Pokemon journey before college.
 * A story in the Cena family involving Team Rocket included the falsification that the team stole the beds of naughty children. This was meant as a tale to warn kids against being bad, but became reality when Grey and Giovanni decided to steal his bed as a practical joke. Cena has attempted to appeal for his bed back, to no avail.
 * Cena's current PokeGear is the HTC Athena, a "Pokedex phone" of the real Cena's own design. It runs Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) as its operating system, with a full Pokedex app that matches functionality with a standard Pokedex, and a 4.3 in screen with many other features native to Android smartphones and tablets. Originally set to be released two weeks before Cena got it, it was given to him as a gift for successfully bringing a package containing a Pokedex tablet computer to Silph Co. for final approval.
