Isamu Tillman [ Done! ]

Is one of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques and allow the user to manipulate the surrounding earth for offensive and defensive purposes or create it; be it dirt, mud, or rock. Though, Earth Release techniques have the ability to change the strength and composition of the earth from being as hard as metal to as soft as clay, as well as manipulating their density, making them heavier or lighter.

Yet Isamu has the ability to control, Sand: Which is a versatile material, most often employed by the Elementist, only a few have mastered it throughout the golden ages.

Isamu was the sort of unenthusiastic kid who liked to watch clouds. He carries himself with an air of amicable temperance, politely conversing with the people he encounters and freely giving his meager services to those who need a hand. He preferred not to get involved in "troublesome" activities, pretending to be busy to avoid responsibility. These traits lead those unfamiliar with Isamu to view him as ineffectual or easily exploitable, but more perceptive people become aware in short order that his gift for placatory eloquence and veiled redirection of disagreeable situations suggest a deep wisdom belied by his youthful, unassuming visage. He also does not like fighting, deeming it, as he does most things, "troublesome". He is fully aware of this side of his personality however when duty calls he always willing to put others before himself both in terms of well-being and social standing.

Even though, by his own testimony, bravery, he will sacrifice himself and face almost certain death, for the sake of his friends and/or villagers without a second thought.

His parents were born on a distant region from that of the mainland, called the Minoru Islands. His father was an Earth Elementist while his mother was a water Elementist. Though through birth his mother had passed away living his father to give him up for adoption. It wasn’t the fact that he couldn’t raise him yet it was the cause of remembering the past and his wife that died through the procedure. In fact he doesn’t know what his parents even look like he was put up into adoption by the very beginning as well with their parting gift an egg alike. They were breeders of the ground type… That was their specialty and they were the only ones doing it throughout the main lands.


Since his adoption… He was held up within an orphanage with several other kids who as well were put up for adoption. He never truly understood why their parents would give them up but the thought of it, was their own reasons. His life was wrapped around the orphanage; ever since he was born it was his practical home for many years. Until he was two he was finally adopted by Mr. & Mrs. Johnson were my very first family who adopted me… Along with their three children, I didn’t fully understand it. I felt different from them and out of place… Though I accepted it and took it all in and when I hit the prime age of two his egg had already hatched and his Pokémon was a Hippopotas. A unique Pokemon to start off with though he had the spirit of both his parents which in turn; turned out for the greater reason of being whom he was.

Through his parents he received a gift, naturally an Earth Elementist he required a nature of Water as well… And the soft material called sand he was soon able to control. At his age though he wasn’t fully aware of this situation, and slowly he would learn why he was granted with this very gift. Even at the age of two he was already exploring around the house, walking and climbing until hit five, at that age he continued to explore outside and soon around the city. Throughout the years I slowly developed and started school, learning about the difference of types and their weakness and strong points. A genius he thrived to learn everything and anything about each particular Pokemon within the Kanto Region… While he wasn’t learning he was within Saffron City exploring the land around. At the age of five, his oldest step – brother took him out to the next town over, and that’s when he found his Cubone.

Unaware of Isamu’s high spirit to explore escapes the grasp of his eldest brother and while he was taking care of his own business. Isamu soon found out about the Pokemon Tower, and what’s it nature within the Pokémon world… As it held the deaths of a thousand Pokemon it was a peaceful spirit within, as the doors fully opened, the sunlight flooded the room. The bright light exposing all to whoever was within… And within there a found a smaller Cubone, hiding away within the far corner of the building. Scared and frightened he coward and would hide behind the tombstones, the bright smile crossed his younger face and soon entered with the doors closing. The once bright room fell into a darker dim lit area, silent and peaceful; he took everything in and felt the pain of the spirits… And then the Cubone I felt her pain she just went through with her trainer and abandonment.

At that moment their bond would grow, knowing that the two felt the pain of one another, and since on she became part of the family. Returning to his eldest brother and a soft smile on his face handed him a Pokeball, and soon finally catching her, his first family was his closest and cherished memories were within. Yet when Team Rocket invaded the town and took over Silph. Corporation, an accident had changed forever, he soon slowly discovered his ability to manipulate the sand pouring out of Hippo’s body. His youngest sister got hurt and the two men had their own lives ended, he turned into a monster with the attention to kill. After that day, he was taken back to the orphanage… During the night he started to train his body mentally and physically.


Before they found him a new home, Isamu was thrilled with his new gift he soon started to learn to harness it for the better. Showing off the other children only feared him yet a girl about his age took his hand and blushed… Knowing that if he wasn’t able to find a home a home, she would stay by his side and be his partner in crime, even at their age they were together. It all changed when they were split up, two separate families’ wanting only a child and nothing more… The pain within him caused him to fall into a cycle of depression. Finding him the, hosts lied and said he was a normal child in need of a good caring home, and that’s when I meet Mr. and Ms. Velazquez, odd enough they had no children. Being an only child was harder than having siblings or step – siblings, which meant he got away with mostly anything. Hiding his new gift he started to fall into a night cycle, where he slept during the day and up at night training to his heart’s content.

His adventures passion continued as he continued to explore, though within the new region. His new home was within Blackthorn City within the Johto Region… Home to the Dragon specialists who lead him to explore the Dragons Den as well the surrounding areas. And this is where he found his second partner within Route 45, Gligar through the grass he actually started toying and pranking with Isamu. It wasn’t instant but it took him several days… Gaining his trust and soon after the third day, Gligar joined the team. The years grew and finally hope was within the air, as he soon trusted his new parents by the age of ten, with his age so did the knowledge and training he would become a master at being an Earth Elementist… And with that so did control over his other ability. Controlling the sand was more difficult than the Earth itself, through each night the two trained harder than any time before and when he hit the rip age of twelve, he was an official Sand Elementist.

He kept himself equal to earth itself and wore no shoes; he had taught himself to use the unique ability of seismic sense, using the earth to "feel" even the minutest vibrations from the earth. Through this heightened seismic sense, Isamu could visualize where people are, their relative distance to himself, and their Pokémon. One stormy night… He was found out by a complete accident a robber ran his way, the path he always used was soon a crime scene, nearly dead Isamu stopped the burglar but suffered a punishment of returning to the orphanage, once again lost within hope and fear. Yet he soon turned into a little rebel... Disobeying the rules throughout the orphanage and destroyed property. His heart was torn in many ways than one and lost hope one’s self, losing interest in finding a fitting home he continued to train himself to the depths of hell till they were fully synced with one another.


Being synced to his team mates offered more than just a great friendship it offered the trust within battle and courage. He had almost lived all over the world, from Kanto to Hoenn, and this time his parents were Mr. & Mrs. Ashcroft, he wasn’t alone they already had two kids yet after complications with the third and a miscarriage. They were forced to adopt, yet it didn’t change their own mind on how they loved the child they would be taking home… Yet Isamu didn’t believe it, after several families within the past. His feelings were kept locked up deep inside and that rebellion nature deep within seeped out into the world around, he kept himself a secret to the new family… Training since he was six years old, he still continues to train till this very day, where they lived was different from his previous foster homes. Mauville City it wasn’t a big though seemed more like a small town then City but when he went exploring he found the desert of Route 111.

With it being the first time within the desert… He was amazed with the sheer volume of the sand around, and soon started training. Yet within his own ability, his vision was clear and able to see through the thick cloud, without the use of any goggles. Stumbling onto a wild Pokémon battle he made his own mark and as the two battled it out, through the desert, he reversed the Arena Trap onto Trapnich itself getting stuck before the final blow. The Pokeball was tossed and soon wobbling against the ground, slowly and with the third rumble and he would be the third Pokemon caught. And with the new team member, he continued to train and perfect his own battling style… Through his mind, he needed one more Pokemon. Within the Sinnoh Region, he would soon find a loop hole within the system and with the orphanage global, he could request a family within the Sinnoh Region.

At the age of thirteen he was already there for a full year, the shortest time with an actual family but he wanted to move on and continue exploring. This plan of his would get him kicked out and back into the orphanage; out in front of his own house he would perform a small act for money… For when the time came too escape and go off on his own, the act would consist of him bending the sand and using it for a live crowd. With Hippo of ‘course they were the star attraction until his parents returned and like any other time… They would kindly return me and I was off into another family. Though this time was different most of the kids were actually adopted besides the twins, nobody wanted to adopt both and that were the recruitment's on the twins. A couple years had passed and soon they were adopted leaving me the only child within orphanage… I knew what I wanted and right hosts came I quickly was ready to leave.


After his previous family, this was his last stop for adoption and after he gets what he needs he would vanish and to never return. Once hitting land, he could continue through Route 206 into Eterna City walking through he spotted the cave… And soon was curious a mystery waiting to be solved within. Mr. & Mrs. Robinson had a larger family with five kids, Twins with three girls, with the twins being the oldest around his own age. Having that many kids, they wouldn’t be able to keep track of them all; through the night he slipped out and went fourth into the cave… Wayward Cave was pitch black darker then the night itself. Yet he managed to find his way through slowly with each step his hand guided himself across the moist cavern walls. He heard the echoes of the Pokemon who roamed around, playing and fighting with one another… Slipping down he slide down a longer pathway a rock slide, into a small pool and crystal clear water.

This room was mysteriously lit, though shinned brightly against the surface of the water and this is where he found his fourth Pokemon that gained a spot on his team. Gabite a playfully aggressive Pokémon who thought it was funny to brawl, the two instantly grew attached and the battle itself lasted forty minutes, tiring him out he soon threw the ball and made his last catch. Finding an exit, Gabite soon showed him the way, and with that he vanished out of thin air… Away from his previous family who just adopted him. He was done with moving around, and with his team truly formed he was ready to take the league challenge…
