He Had Freaked Out Upon Seeing Vivillon But Went Thru Chara Development And Thought Ykw Bug Types Arent So Bad After All - Blog Posts

Name: Francis Bonnefoy Specialty: Beautiful Pokemon Place of Origin: Lumiose, Kalos Team: Sylveon, Milotic, Primarina, Gardevoir, Roserade, Aromatisse Not used for battle: Alcremie, Vivillon, Furfrou (Heart) Pokemon he hates/fears: Bug Types. They're beautiful, of course! Just from afar. Very far.

Francis is a man who lives for the glitz and glamor of life, partly due to his upbringing. He has been wealthy since birth as the Bonnefoys had been the leading family in Grand Festivals, so he had also grown up watching Pokemon coordinators and showcases. He was a model for some time while participating in Pokemon Contests and winning several Grand Festival titles. While he still regularly performs in Contests, he is active in competitive battling and earning the title of one of the best trainers in all of Kalos. He admittedly had no interest in battling once, viewing it as barbaric. But his longtime childhood friend and rival, Arthur, had started battling soon after getting his Pokemon and had taunted Francis, saying he was incapable of doing the same as he was too weak and feminine. Angered, Francis set out to prove him wrong, participating in the Final Test too and becoming a trainer. His reputation as a Bonnefoy means he is still regarded as spoiled and weak, but he continuously proves them wrong in every battle. He is also an Elite Four member alongside Alfred, Arthur, and Yao, and is in the Pokemon Hall of Fame with the record of having won the most battles. This is due to his own skills and the fact that Arthur's mocking words have been fueling him in every battle. He is a Pokemon Coordinator for Astral in the future, working alongside the rest of his (former) group but in the entertainment sector. His parents are successful but neglect him in favor of their work, so Francis gladly welcomes the chaos of the Kirkland family and often spends his time with them instead of in his own house.

Note:

The Astral Institute handles everything Pokemon-related, from battles and championships to Grand Festivals and showcases to Pokemon Centers. There are different sectors (technology, literature, entertainment, medical, etc.) Alfred is in the tech sector, Arthur is in literature, and Yao is in medical. There are various professions in each, such as coordinators, researchers, journalists, and professors.
