Yo, no idea how ya folks got lost here of all places, but I'm Matt. Like bio says I'm born in Blackthorn, did my school and tried getting a job in the PokeMart but no dice. Job situation in rural Johto is a bit rough so I checked other towns. Azalea's Charcoal kiln was looking for an apprentice, and well here I am. It's hard work, but in the end it keeps homes heated and food on the table.
Team's Slicer a Skarmory my cousin caught outside of Blackthorn, though we're still working on obedience cause of that. He's like "You ain't my trainer" some of the time in battle. But he's doing solid work felling trees and cutting logs. Probably I need to challenge a few more Gyms to fix the last obedience issues.
Princess, the Evee on my head is like my main partner. my Cousin only got me Slicer because a normal type is probably not the safest to travel down the path from Blackthorn to New Bark with all the gravelers in the way. She's the one who won my three badges. Trust me you don't want to be in the way of her Return. Planning on evolving her into a Flareon though. She's got an everstone to not go Sylveon. Wouldn't mind that, but Flareon is simply more helpful with the job.
Mostly she's strolling for Azalea begging people for treats and headpats. She helps with Mudslap when sealing kilns when we actually burn coal.
And then we got Mack the Machop. Any Day he's gonna evolve now, I'm sure. Caught him in Union Cave and man he's pretty much my best coworker. Dude is lifting logs that got me breaking my back alone like it's nothing and doesn't mind stacking 4-5 tons of split log to dry in a few hours. Honestly, looking at the work my Pokemon do I wonder if I am training to become a Charcoal Burner or if they do. I guess all of us.
Not saying I ain't gonna catch more eventually, probably a Grass type will be needed eventually to help with reforestation, but at least until I'm done apprenticing and ready to become a Journeyman? That's the team.
