Hikaru Kurosaki

Background
Hikaru has been able to obtain the first 493 Pokemon. He uses Pokemon that have fierce power, but swift attacks. His philosophy is to find and train strong Pokemon to be exceptional battlers. Due to this, he frowns upon Pokemon Contests. He believes that the Pokemon Coordinators are a bunch of prissy losers who know more about dress up than true battling. Hikaru has even gone to some lengths of sabotaging Contests, but he does in such a way that no one is hurt in the process. Hikaru is listed as a wanted criminal by all the regions except for the Orre Region.

The storage system he uses is separate from any other PC Storage System, so he can't be cut off from catching or switching out Pokemon.

When Hikaru was on Mt. Coronet, he encountered Arceus, which Hikaru then proceeded to capture. Arceus laughed at Hikaru's feeble attempts, but Hikaru was able to bring out his strongest Pokemon, a Gallade. The Gallade was able to bring Arceus to it's knees surprisingly. Arceus then used Last Resort against the Gallade, but unwittingly, used a strange power that fused Gallade and Hikaru. Arceus was almost appaled at what he had done, but upon closer inspection, Hikaru was just fine. A wooden sword lay where Gallade was, with Hikaru gripping it. When he let the sword go, he transformed into his former partner Gallade. He was capable of Human speech in both forms, but he was able to be captured in his Pokemon form. Arceus asked if Hikaru could forgive him of such a crime. Hikaru forgave Arceus, but he asked if Arceus could undo waht ahd been done. Arceus told Hikaru that there was nothing either of them could do. After that, Arceus asked if he could join Hikaru to seek out someone who could help him. A Pokemon sage named Solina. Hikaru now is traveling with 6 Pokemon to find Solina.
