I was born in South Korea, Seoul. The truth is... even if it's for little kids, I like Pokémon. My dream is to become an author of writing fiction and adventure stories. Birthday: January 25th I have brown eyes, black hair, and wear glasses. I like animes and mangas, like Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Hikaru No Go. I've had ideas of writing stories by typing it up here.

He can also be stronger than he looks as he's able to knock out some people he punches, like when he punched Brock for his lovey dovey mode, and Barry for his boasting and arrogant bragging. Aura: At a certain point in a serious situation, Hikaru's eyes can glow yellow and green, which determines if he is determined to win a battle, or furious to crush his enemies, like Pokémon poachers, Team Galactic, and Team Rocket. Another time can be when he is about to lose a battle, his eyes are mysteriously known to give his Pokémon some fighting spirit, allowing them to become much more stronger, allowing him to win a tough battle. This is revealed to be Aura, which Riley and Lucario points out. With the power of Aura, Hikaru is able to understand what Pokémon are saying. He also can contain objects with an Aura barrier, while also sensing other people's aura, knowing if they're friends or enemies. There will be more power to Aura that Hikaru will be able to access on his journey. Aura Guardian Mode: A form given to him by Sir Aaron, who reveals that Hikaru has the same amount of power of Aura like with the Aura Prince, despite being a bit more inexperienced. With this form, Hikaru is able to have his Aura powers stronger than he expects, along with an appearance change. His green and yellow eye pupils remain with light-blue marks under his eyes. He wears a dark-blue trench coat with shoulder guards while also having a high collar shirt. There are also gray pants, golden wristbands, dark-blue combat boots, along with black finger-less gloves that have symbols that are the same as the one from Sir Aaron's hat. A black eye mask is added having the shape of the "mask" of a Riolu. Aura Blade: While being known as a young Aura Guardian, Hikaru was given a long dagger that was known to be called the Aura Blade, a special weapon that chooses a worthy Aura Guardian to fight and to protect the world. With the Aura Blade, Hikaru is able to perform skills that is given to him or when it is unlocked: - Aura Ascension Slash: A 12-hit combo that can use the power of Aura to deal some critical damage for the one that opposes the user with the Aura Blade. Synchronization: When both Hikaru and Infernape's feelings are in sync, and when they have the same determination to win a battle, Infernape is able to transform into his powerful, and mysterious form, while having Hikaru's Glowing Eyes. At that, Hikaru is able to see what Infernape is seeing, making the battle much more easier for the two. But, when Infernape takes a hit during the time in that form, Hikaru feels the pain as well. The form Infernape takes is named Spirit-Infernape, with Hareta being the first to mention it. Dimensional Scream: On certain occasions, Hikaru is able to trigger the Dimensional Scream when he touches something, as the vision shows him either the past of he future. This is revealed by Kellyn, who explains about the Dimensional Scream to the group. To Hikaru, he himself believes that the Dimensional Scream can warn him about the future consequences that might come to his way. Hikaru's Current Pokémon in Rotation: Infernape: Hikaru's best friend and number one partner. Hikaru met Infernape as a Chimchar when the escape accident occurred. Infernape took an instant liking to Hikaru, already creating a "brotherly" bond between the two of them. Infernape helped Hikaru in a few Contests, including Gym Battles. His bond and love for his human brother is growing stronger and stronger, looking unbreakable everyday. Infernape bonds with Ash's Chimchar, as the two consider each other as brothers. His bond with Hikaru proves him the strongest Pokémon on Hikaru's team, caring for him very much, disliking it when Hikaru gets injured. Infernape is revealed to have some sort of hidden power that makes him similar to Hikaru. His attacks grow much stronger, with increased speed as he changes into a different form, while his appearance is different, as his eyes on his second form is the same as Hikaru's. This is revealed to be Synchronization, with Hareta first calling Infernape’s new form: Spirit-Infernape. Infernape is revealed to have hated Hikaru getting hurt by his brave, but reckless actions, causing him to get upset as he revealed and confessed his true feelings to Hikaru as a human brother. But in his current form, he can be quite mischievous and mature at the same time when he scolded Piplup for his reckless actions. His mischievous side shows when he teases his human brother for his love for Dawn, but he supports him at the same time. Luxray: Hikaru's first caught Sinnoh Pokémon. Luxray as a Shinx evolved, during the time when she and Ash's Staravia were saving the bird Pokémon from Team Rocket for their freedom. Luxray looks up to Hikaru as her older brother, creating a sibling bond between them. When Hikaru grooms and cares about her, she feels loved, and loves her trainer back. She has a big interests in Contests, when she competed in a few. She was also powerful when she was a Luxio, by defeating her evolved forms twice, battling a Luxray from Sho, and a Luxray from Marble. When trying to defeat Team Rocket to save Cresselia along with Dawn's Swinub, they both ended up evolving after gaining some serious injuries. However, it seemed as though Luxray doesn't recognize Hikaru anymore as her human brother. That was soon revealed as Luxray was truly afraid of Hikaru and his glowing eyes when he used Aura, making her believe that he wasn't like himself. But as Hikaru confesses and truthfully tells Luxray of his true feelings of her and how he loves her as a younger sibling, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon slowly returns back to her old self like she used to be, being lovable and supportive to her friends and her "family". Her past will soon reveal itself later on in the story. Leafeon: Leafeon was an Eevee who is in love with Ash's Grotle. She loves Hikaru as an older brother, creating a third sibling bond between them. Leafeon, as an Eevee used to be a cold Pokémon, believing that friends mean nothing. It came to her belief that she would eventually be betrayed from those that she would call friends, causing her to be isolated from other Pokémon. This was mainly due to the fact that she believed her parents had died in a wild battle, causing her to be alone. However, this all changed when she met Clara and Grotle as a Turtwig. After meeting the two, Eevee became more open to other Pokémon, but remained cautious of them. Leafeon prefers to be beautiful and clean, while being fierce in a battle as well. She performs well in Contests, while being hard to beat in battles as well. Leafeon performed well during a Gym battle against Crasher Wake by battling hard in order to defeat Quagsire, despite the heavy damage she took from the attacks. That proves on how much she is determined for her victory. She is also revealed to be afraid of heights, such as when she escaped from Team Rocket at a large height, along with dark, confined places, along with ghost stories, like when a mischievous Rotom frightened her along with Hikaru and Monferno. Buizel Buizel is a shy Pokémon, who is a younger brother of Ash's Buizel. Buizel has a great care for other Pokémon, especially his older brother, who he loves the most. When he and Hikaru met, another sibling bond was starting to be made when Hikaru and Monferno began to help him with his Ice Beam move. He was recruited by Hikaru, wanting to stay with his older Sea Weasel Pokémon brother forever. He had helped a lot during Hikaru's fourth Gym battle against Crasher Wake and his Floatzel, staying equal to it before winning and earning Hikaru his fourth Sinnoh Gym Badge. After battling Floatzel, Buizel was seen training hard in case of another Gym battle coming as he also refuses to evolve, wanting to be equal with his older brother. Buizel looked to be stronger as he defeated Steelix despite of getting hit hard, and being nearly suffocated by Steelix's Bind attack. However, he lost to Bastiodon, due to the previous damage he took from Steelix's attacks. His past will be revealed later on in the story. Dragonair: Hikaru met Dratini at the abandoned Pokémon Center, where it was abandoned from his previous trainer. Dratini took a shine to Hikaru after the Twinleaf boy took a little care for it, and playing with it for a while. After the fight against Team Rocket for Happiny, Dratini began to make a bond with Hikaru, wanting to go with him on his Sinnoh journey. Dragonair had evolved when battling Kenny and his Prinplup, managing to defeat Prinplup, before time ran out, earning Hikaru his third Contest Ribbon. He can be very powerful in battle like when he defeated Maylene's Machoke, and having a tie with Paul's Torterra. Dragonair fought against Fantina's Drifloon and Duskull, only to be overpowered by Duskull, despite of the power he had, causing him to be defeated. He also fought against Byron's Bastiodon, as he was able to deal some serious damage, but was easily defeated with Bastiodon's Flash Cannon and Flamethrower combo. His past will be revealed later on in the story. Gardevoir: Gardevoir was the first Pokémon friend that Hikaru made in his past life when she was a little Ralts. When Ralts had disappeared for some reason, Hikaru asummed that Ralts didn't like him anymore, until she came back, as a Kirlia, saving everyone from Team Rocket. She explained the true reason of why she never came to him again, with Hikaru forgiving her. Gardevoir proves to be an elegant battler, along with a big supporter during Pokémon Contests, as she shows determination and beauty in her moves. She evolved from Kirlia to her current form when she fought against Paul's Honchkrow, when Hikaru was at first reluctant to attack, due to the incident he had with Yamato being the second-in-command of Team Galactic. Togekiss: Hikaru had met Togepi when he and the others were in Mr. Backlot's mansion, being known as a shy little Pokémon. Despite that, she can be a bit tough and tricky when battling opponents, like when she uses AncientPower for a direct attack, and using Attract to charm the male opponents. She joined Hikaru immediately right when the Twinleaf boy made his request, creating another bond between the two. She first evolved into Togetic when she tried to stop Luxray from rampaging around, and evolved again, thanks to the Shiny Stone Hikaru had found secretly, when she was placed in the PokéRinger competition against Minako and Staraptor. After she had evolved, her battling style remains unchanged, but the way she moves becomes even more graceful. Her past will be revealed later as the story goes on. Riolu: This Pokémon hatched from an Egg given from Riley. He looks up to Hikaru and Infernape as his older brother as he is aware of Riley's Lucario being his father. He can get frightened easily by loud people or objects, while also being curious for new people and Pokémon. Whenever someone gets hurt or injured, the young Fighting Type will always worry and care for that person or Pokémon, especially to Hikaru as he looks up to the Twinleaf boy as the elder brother.

He aims for strong Pokémon, training them hard, while giving both Hikaru and Ash hard times. Lucas: An old friend of Hikaru and Dawn, as he is also from Twinleaf Town.

To Hikaru, Barry seems to be an amateur, despite of the tough talk that he makes. Barry is also revealed to think Paul as his 'idol'. Ursula: An unfriendly and arrogant Coordinator who believed Dawn had won the Wallace Cup by accident. She is shown to have a little charm or crush on Hikaru as she made a bet to decide if Hikaru would be going on a date with her if either Dawn or Hikaru were to lose to her in the Chocovine Contest.

Preview for VOL. 2: Yuki could only watch in horror as he watched his dark self glare at him after he spoke his words, causing the Hawlucha Boy to feel empty inside. Every feeling he had right now became blank, as he fell to his knees. He began to shake as he shook his head in disbelief. "You have to be lying... They wouldn't lie to me... They're... my friends. The friends that I shared so many memories with. And you... of all people, are telling me they've lied to me this whole time about you!? Why should I trust in you and not them!?" Yuki snapped angrily. "I already told you before. No matter how many times you want to deny it, you're me. And I'm you. I'm the part of you that contains your deep hatred and anger. The hatred towards the ones that lie to you... the ones that try to hurt the ones that are precious to you." Shadow Yuki spoke seriously. Yuki couldn't say anything before his Shadow spoke once more, causing the Hawlucha Boy to listen. "Didn't you find it weird when they acted suspicious after you became 'unconscious' several times? And it's been happening recently, because of those idiots called Team Rocket getting on your nerves." "It's not only that. There were times when you saw Pokémon getting hurt... The times when you witnessed someone dear to you getting hurt... Isn't that why you became 'unconscious'? Isn't that the same reason why I'm standing before you now?" Shadow Yuki asked sternly. "That's... That's just..." Yuki started to stutter before he found himself unable to speak, as he couldn't help but understand what his dark self was saying to him. What the Shadow said... It was all true to Yuki. "Those... 'friends' of yours feared you, which is why they hid the truth from you several times. Of course, every time you regained control over that body you're in, you remembered nothing. And that's because that was when I took over." "Do you know what that means? Because of me residing in your body, they feared you... Feared you that someday, you might lash out at them. This all began the day when that inventor friend of yours caught that Grass Type..." Shadow Yuki explained seriously. The Hawlucha Boy remained silent, which signaled the Shadow to go on with his words. "If you don't want to believe me, that's fine. But I only say to this you because I'm a part of you. Think about it..." Shadow Yuki said before he sighed. Soon, he turned into a dark mist before he disappeared, getting out of the Hawlucha Boy's sight. Yuki remained on his knees, before he heard someone familiar calling out to him. And it wasn't just one, but a few. "Yuki! Yuki, are you okay!?" Ash called out. He ran with Pikachu on his shoulder. Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and Lucia followed the Kanto Trainer with Hawlucha at their side. The Wrestling Pokémon flew over, only to see Yuki down on his knees. "Cha...?" Hawlucha asked out of concern. "..." Yuki remained silent as Ash approached his Kalos friend, trying to get him to talk and stand back up. "Yuki? What's wrong--" Ash started to ask as he reached for the Hawlucha Boy, only to have his hand slapped away by the now angry Yuki. "Y-Yuki!?" Ash gasped as the others gasped and widened their eyes in surprise. "Tell me why..." Yuki started to say with a growl, causing Lucia to ask in worry. "Tell you what...?" Lucia questioned hesitantly, only to receive a harsh glare from the Hawlucha Boy, enough to make her flinch. "Tell me why all of you lied to me about my dark self! Why you never bothered to tell me the truth about me every time when I 'blacked out'!?" Yuki boomed angrily, frightening Bonnie and Dedenne as Clemont widened his eyes in realization. "Yuki... Don't tell me..." Clemont started to say until the Hawlucha Boy interrupted him. "Yeah, that's right! My 'other self' told me everything... How you guys lied to me every time when he appeared to you guys! How you guys never bothered to tell me the truth, because you were too scared of my other self's dark presence!" Yuki snapped angrily. Lucia's face darkened at the yelling the Hawlucha Boy was doing. Serena held her arms together, shaking a little as she was frightened about the dark secret Yuki has discovered... The secret that she and the others hid from him every time Shadow Yuki appeared. "W-We... We couldn't tell you... If we told you about your dark self... You... You..." Serena started to say as tears welled up in her eyes. "I what...?" Yuki asked, his temper not cooling down even for a moment. "...You wouldn't be you again..." Serena added hesitantly before she shook again, causing Yuki to widen his eyes before they returned as a glare. "What...?" Yuki hissed as the Kanto Trainer took a step, wanting to calm his Kalos friend down. "Look, Yuki... Before you say anything, we're sorry..." Ash started to say, only for the Hawlucha Boy to grab his jacket collars, before dragging Ash to his face! The others widened their eyes while Hawlucha watched in disbelief and in shock. "You're sorry? Sorry doesn't fix the lies that you and the others said to me in the past! All I wanted was for you guys to tell me the truth! I thought you guys were really my friends... until I realized that all you guys are nothing but liars!" Yuki spat angrily. He released Ash, causing the Kanto Trainer to cough before he regained his balance on the ground. Lucia remained silent while Bonnie kept shaking as she held her brother close to her, causing the Lumiose Gym Leader to comfort her. Serena just kept her eyes away from the angry Hawlucha Boy while Ash bit his lips, his face starting to darken as well. Yuki just glared, not seeing anyone step up or try to reason with him until he noticed Hawlucha approaching him a little, though despite being hesitant. "Hawlucha... You too? Did you... lie to me, too?" Yuki asked, his temper lowering down a little. The Wrestling Pokémon made no movement but frowned. A moment later, the Wrestling Pokémon gave a slow nod, causing Yuki to widen his eyes in disbelief. "I can't believe it... You too? Why? I thought you trusted me! Trusted me enough to tell me anything! We were best friends! Partners!" Yuki called out in disbelief, as he didn't want to believe his first Pokémon to be a liar, too. However, with Hawlucha remaining silent and having a dark expression on his face, the Hawlucha Boy felt tears welling in his eyes before he shut them tight. Gritting his teeth, Yuki turned back, not wanting to feel the painful feeling again. The painful feeling of... betrayal. "You guys... are complete... UGH! I NEVER want to see you guys again!" Yuki snapped as tears spilled from his eyes as he ran off, leaving the others to watch him leave in shock. "Yuki...? Yuki, wait! Please!" Lucia pleaded as she tried to run after the Hawlucha Boy, only to be stopped by Clemont, who only shook his head with a frown. At him doing so, Lucia slowly turned to see Yuki leave her sight as she slumped down. "Yuki..." was all Lucia could say as Hawlucha's face darkened, before there were visible tears rolling down his cheeks. "Yuki... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Please... Please don't leave..." Hawlucha thought, before he broke down into a sob, as he cried for his human "brother" to come back. Pikachu and Dedenne sadly came over to their crying Wrestling Pokémon, as they tried to comfort him.

Yuki trains with Hawlucha to be tough, but gets along with citizens, being called the Hawlucha Boy. He is revealed to travel with Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie on his journey together. Since he had trained with Hawlucha in Aquacorde Forest for two years, he is unfamiliar with the video technology, like PokéVision. He is also somehow connected to the darkness he has, whenever something stings him to gain the power of darkness, turning him in some kind of Shadow. Yuki has no memories of his parents, and no one talks about them for some reason. As Yuki soon starts to travel with one of Ash's friends, Hikaru, together with the others, he soon starts to become more aware of his dark self as he unknowingly distances himself from his Pokémon, severing his bonds with them little by little. But as time passes by, Yuki will need to find a way to mend his bonds by staying true to himself and his true feelings. Personality: - Yuki is a boy who loves Pokémon, just like Ash and the others. He even trains with them by combating with them when he needs to as he believes that his Pokémon can't be strong alone as a trainer needs to be strong for their Pokémon as well. He is also a boy who can get easily annoyed when something provokes him, such as his name and title, or when someone insults his Pokémon. When he is possessed by his darkness, Yuki acts malicious to the people that harmed innocent Pokémon and will stop at nothing to take them down until they beg for mercy. When he is free from the darkness however, Yuki has no memory or it, and will feel worried, believing that the others won't tell him of what they saw in him. Voice: Yuki has the same voice as Ventus (English/Birth by Sleep) and Johan (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX/Japanese) Badges: 2 1. Bug Badge - VOL. 1 - Chapter 2: Yuki VS Viola! The Santalune Gym! 2. Cliff Badge - VOL. 1 - Chapter 43: Climb the Wall! Yuki VS Grant! Powers and Abilities: Yuki is known to be a martial artists, as he's been trained under Hawlucha just like he trained him. With that said, Yuki is able to defend himself from suspicious people or some other Pokémon who challenged him to a spar in the past. He can also detect suspicious people or things, which sometimes protects his friends from a certain incident, as he's able to discover the suspicion about Team Rocket's disguise and fake works. Darkness (Yuki's Shadow): On a certain critical situation, when he sees Pokémon being tortured or severely injured by selfish people, Yuki snaps, creating a dark aura around him. With that, he becomes ballistic, determined to destroy everything in his way: enemies, poachers, Team Rocket, and all those who hurt Pokémon. However, on an unknown reason, he doesn't harm his friends, but gets hostile with his Pokémon, for those who gets hesitant on his orders. They can be stopped, possibly due to his strong bond with his friends, Pokémon, and Hawlucha. Yuki's Current Pokémon in Rotation: Hawlucha: Yuki met Hawlucha at Aquacorde Forest, two years ago, where Yuki saved Hawlucha from his near death. Hawlucha trains near a waterfall where he and Yuki now trains to become the best. He trusts and likes Yuki as a training partner and as a best friend. Hawlucha has an unbreakable bond between him and Yuki. If Yuki were to be in danger or more, Hawlucha would be there to protect Yuki. Hawlucha was a great battler against Viola's Vivillon, earning Yuki the Bug Badge, and defeating all of Ash's Pokémon before tying against Pikachu, earning Yuki another win. The Wrestling Pokémon was also a tough battler when he battled against Korrina's Lucario for the first time, matching its speed and power, which allowed the two to recognize each other as rivals. He can be deeply concerned about the Hawlucha Boy, especially when he's taken over by the darkness. Heracross: Yuki and Hawlucha met Heracross while they were on their way to head to Santalune City. Heracross challenged Hawlucha to a battle, but quickly lost, due to Hawlucha's incredible strength and speed.

Buizel: A mischievous, but strong Sea Weasel Pokémon that has been following Yuki and the others ever since Buizel first met Yuki near the Ambrette Aquarium.
