realest_strengthTy is most noticeably an amiable Pokemon. He isn't the least bit shy and has little trouble interacting with others, even new or obviously popular people, and prefers to approach things with an open mind despite the type of world he grew up in. Likewise he isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes or to confront wrong-doers and those he has been wronged by. He strongly believes that the ability to trust is the realest strength there is and that if people would pull together and be willing to trust each other then the world would be a better place...but he knows that it's unwise to just put his faith in every person he meets. Despite being a partner and relying largely on them, he has been been acknowledged by his other teammates as having the potential to become a great leader.
He enjoys making friends, but he refuses to have superficial friendships or alliances based only on convenience. If he makes a friend he will put his faith in them and treasure them greatly, and expects the same of them, as well as to go above and beyond for their well-being to the point he is willing to set aside his happiness for theirs or to follow them into impossible to endure situations. He doesn't hold weakness or ineptitude against people, nor does he value power above strength of character. He would much rather work with someone who sincerely will put their heart into the tasks that need done, regardless of their skill level, than with someone who is great at things but has no heart for it. When dealing in group situations he wants what's best for everyone and so it really bothers him when something has no fair answer or he can't do anything to help them.
Even in a world where people are selfish and innocents and the trusting are made to suffer as everyone tries to take advantage or turns a blind eye to those in need, he refuses to accept that sort of negativity and does what he can to change it instead, clinging to his ideals and trying not to let doubt overrule his beliefs. He can understand the reasons why people wouldn't want to trust or make friends but doesn't approve of that type of thinking because, even though he didn't make friends at first, he never gave up on the idea of finding people he could trust. He doesn't believe that bad experiences are an excuse to give up on the world or to take advantage of others, but can be sympathetic to the plights of some wrong-doers even if he can't side with them. He is also able to forgive those who do wrong but then sincerely regret it and will even help and encourage them to not give up hope. He rarely holds a grudge, but is perfectly willing to tell others off when he feels the need or to fight to protect himself or others if he has to.
He's neither fearless nor immune to doubts though, simply hard to scare off and stubborn. He will face down large amounts of doubters and try to change things, but his confidence in his ability to do it alone is weak. If he can't rally others then he does let doubt in himself and the world show. In dire situations where he knows he needs to do something quickly but not what he can do he may crack under stress and panic as well. But it only takes a little glimmer of hope to push the doubt back for him. Often when faced with something that causes worry or unease in others around him...or even when he is sad or lonely himself, he will continue to act cheerful and try his best every day regardless of his personal feelings to help keep others cheerful and so they don't worry about him.
Unlike many of the Pokemon of his world, the unknown and mysterious don't scare him at all. He is extremely open-minded, believing that maybe it's less mystery and more the need to discover the truth that make things mysterious. He doesn't brush things off as untrue just because of a lack of facts or a seeming impossibility because the world is a large and mysterious place. Likewise he doesn't balk at the idea of the spreading mysteriosity and the mystery dungeons it creates throughout his world, acknowledging the danger they can pose but also seeing it as a great adventure to explore them. When it comes to taking work as an adventurer, he believes that a job should be taken based on the need of the client rather than the size of the reward.
These traits make him exceptionally easy to get along with and are often how he gets through to others. But it has left him open to hurt and scams, and could again.
