He doesn't give off the air with the way he walks or act. People have been known to describe his actions and movements as "Dapper", "Smooth" and "Cool". Even as a child, his appearance has been above average, hence him getting an early career in modeling. He prefers to wear clothes that are in style or "In The Now". This is easy because of all the gifts of clothing his agency sends him. The soft features he got from his mother allow him to appear masculine in height and muscle tone, but soft and somewhat feminine in skin and bone structure. He is constantly seen with glasses on, but it is unknown if they are prescription or just a fashion choice. He also wears a pokéball shaped earring on the bottom of both ears, but they are rarely seen do to the below-the-chin length hair. PERSONALITY Although he is a model, Giovanni has never been described as "Snooty" or "Stuck Up". He is a rather kind person. Many a day he'll go for a walk when not deterred by his modeling career. Sometimes he'll join in on a game of baseball if some kids are playing. One time, he even joined a small group of children that wanted to play hide and seek. All of this seems to happen to the dismay of his secretary. When he came home covered in dust and dirt from the baseball game or when he got a scratch on his cheek form hide-and-seek, his secretary nearly fainted. Giovanni considers himself normal though. He's not better than anyone and he isn't haughty about his looks. While well aware of the fact that he is very handsome, he is also aware that there is probably someone out there more handsome than him. Of course, he'll never see anyone as better looking than his pokémon. Though few, he cares for his pokémon greatly and with much love. He loves them so much, that he warned his employer that if his modeling career ever impeded his ability to spend time with his pokémon, he would quit. Giovanni is just one of those rare people who has a beautiful face that matches his equally beautiful heart. HISTORY Giovanni Brighton was born from two wonderful people: Melissa and Andrew Brighton. Melissa Brighton (Formerly Melissa Gurish) was a singer when she was younger. Her parents weren't very proud of her career, but they supported their daughter anyways. So for several years Melissa continued with her singing career. She made quite a lot of money, which also meant she made quite a few fake friends who only sought after her money. She wasn't sure what she would do and she wondered if she would ever have a true friend. Then she met Andrew. Andrew Brighton was working with a moving company that was owned by his Uncle. He had been living with this certain Uncle since the passing of his parents. It was hard work, but Andrew knew it would help him grow up to be a strong respectable man. He had a few friends and had no trouble making new ones. He was well liked about town. One day, Melissa's employer scheduled a concert at Pallet Town. Since the weekend was free for Andrew and his Uncle, the two decided to go. It was there that the Andrew first got to see, or rather see and hear, Melissa Gurish's amazing singing voice. He stayed late at the concert to talk with her afterwords and was lucky enough to manage it. Melissa was enthralled by this little town man's humor and charm. She also had a feeling that he couldn't ever be after her money: He was too fumbly and blushy around her. Melissa and Andrew soon started dating and Melissa quit her career as a singer, much to the dismay of her fans. The two feel into the truest of loves. They stayed together for so long that eventually Andrew asked Melissa to marry him. Both families were thrilled at the announcement and a grand wedding was held using a large portion of the money Melissa had made as a singer. The two lived happily in Pallet town for many years. One year, it finally happened. They were blessed with a child. A boy, who they named Giovanni Brighton, after Andrew's deceased father. Giovanni lived a normal life: School, Friends, Decent Grades. The only thing different about his life, was that at age 7 he was contracted by a modeling agency. When his parents had asked if he had wanted to do it, all Giovanni has asked was "Do I still get to play with the other kids?". This warmed the hearts of the Agency representatives and his parents. To Giovanni, it had seemed like a normal kid. He didn't want anything special in life. If being a model would help his parents with money (Not that the needed it. They lived a decent life thanks to Melissa's past as a singer.) and it would help the modeling agency, then he would do it. As long as he still got to go to school and play with other kids. When he turned ten, he went to get his starter pokémon like all other trainers, but he planned in staying in school and learning, instead of going off and starting his adventure right away. Professor Oak allowed him to choose a Pikachu (♂), which he promptly named Begy. Giovanni was very excited to have his first pokémon and the pikachu seemed equally happy to have a trainer. From then on, whenever school was out, Giovanni would immediately let Begy out of his pokéball and the two would run off to play. For a while, it was like that. Begy and Giovanni going to play after school, or going to battle the other kids that hadn't left on a journey, but still had pokémon. He was content with the way his life was. It got even better the day he managed to capture a Butterfree (♂), whom he named Spirit. Not only did this start up a new routine of playing with his new friend and Begy together, it also prompted an increase in his modeling career. Spirit began modeling along side Giovanni, and soon there after, so was Begy. Giovanni and his pokémon began a new line of PokéCouture. After befriending Spirit, Giovanni soon took up a class in Strings. He became an excellent Violinist. So on warm evenings, when he was done modeling for the day and his pokémon were relaxing with him, he would pull out his Violin and play a soft melody while Begy and Spirit sang along. It was haunting really, and quite beautiful as well. Giovanni never really held any interest in relationships. He knew outright that he was homosexual, no two ways about it. Even then, the thought of having a man by his side did not seem to appeal to him. He had himself, He had his family, and He had his pokémon. He didn't see why he could possibly need any one else. Though it wasn't like he rejected all other people. In fact, he was a great people person and loved making friends, but that was in. He only wanted friends. Nothing more was ever needed and nothing more was ever requested. When he turned fifteen, the urge for adventure began to twitch at him. He would find himself sometimes losing focus in class and occasionally not paying attention to the photographers (who of course took this as the perfect opportunity to photograph him with a mysterious far off stare) and he even found himself losing focus when talking with his parents. The nervous twitches and desires to roam were intense, but he had told himself that he would finish his education. He sated these temptations by practicing his battling skills more and more. He became quite good at combining moves and other advanced battle techniques. Luckily his mother and father were both able to help him with this training, teaching him everything they knew about battling. When his parents had taught him all they knew, he turned to Professor Oak, who was willing to assist him when he wasn't busy researching or helping newer trainers. Giovanni, of course, understood completely. By the time he had turned 17, he had beaten almost every trainer in town. He wasn't ruthless or a bully about it, he was just good. He never went all out on someone he knew was just starting and he never went easy on someone he knew was a veteran. Not to say that he always won of course. It took him several tries to finally win against his neighbor. She was an older woman who had moved to Pallet Town to retire, so it was to be expected that she was a good battler. Giovanni got to know this lady better once he was sure of his battling skils. Every so often he, Spirit, and Begy would go over to listen to the tales of the women's amazing exploits. Her name was Sukichi, but she preferred to be called Granny Suki. So Granny Suki would frequent them with amazing stories while he old Persian partner sat and her feet and rested. This became one of Giovanni's favorite past times. The time had finally arrived! Giovanni was graduating! The ceremony was wonderful and hundreds of pictures were taken (granted that some odd hundred of those pictures were taken by fans of Giovanni and another odd hundred by his employer's agency). While the event was grand and wonderful, it was the after-celebration at Giovanni's Parent's house that was the most exciting. Friends and Family alike had arrived to celebrate Giovanni's graduation. His Aunts and Uncles, Grandparents (his Mother's side of course), Classmates, Teachers, and even Granny Suki. They were all there. When things had quieted down a bit, Grampa Mike (Melissa's father and Giovanni's favorite relative) pulled Giovanni off to the side. "I got something here for ya' boy-o." The elderly man rifled through a medium sized box. What he pulled out, I had never seen before. A black egg with a bizarre red marking on the front. I watched in awe as the red pattern changed shape occasionally. "What is it Grampa?" I touched the hard surface of the egg. It felt slightly warm. "It's a rare pokémon egg. I found it on my trip to the Unvoa region! And I want you to have it." And with that, he handed me the egg and headed back off into the party. With a look of complete glee, I looked down at the egg. A weight hopped onto my shoulder as Begy looked curiously at the egg. He wasn't the only one curious, as Spirit soon landed on my head. "Look guys, we got a new family member." My smile was so wide that day, that I don't think I stopped smiling, even in my sleep. For two more years, Giovanni stayed in Pallet Town. He kept working at his modeling career. He lived in a small house that he bought himself. It was only a one bedroom near the lake close to the outskirts of town, but he liked it none the less. Now that school was out, he had a lot more time on his hands. Though there was more, it was all well spent. He had a garden that he tended to, He practiced his Violin, trained with Spirit and Begy, and then there was another thing he kept doing... Even after two whole years, the egg had yet to hatch. He was almost worried that the egg would never hatch, but he refused to give up hope. He would keep the egg warm and clean and keep it near him at night. Then the miracle day finally arrived. Giovanni, Begy, and Spirit were all out in the garden. Begy and Spirit were mostly just smelling the flowers while Giovanni watered them. On his back, in a special made carrier, Giovanni kept the egg close. And of course, he sung to his pokémon, and the egg, as he watered the flowers. "Sunshine makes us grow up strong, Water helps the work along~♪ Flowers bloom to make us smile, So I'll tend them for a while~♫" He had always sung this song as he tended the flowers, but today was different. As he finished his little song, he noticed a soft glow coming from his back. Begy and Spirit both waved and squealed, trying to signal it was the egg. Giovanni quickly reached behind him and grabbed the egg from its satchel. The egg was glowing brighter and brighter, before it eventually formed into something different. The hard shell exterior became soft fur and the rounded top turned into a small wisp of hair. Then the glow dimmed and Giovanni was now holding a... pokémon? He had never seen one like this before. "Zoru!" the small pokémon yipped with excitement as it blinked its first look into the world, and into the bright blue eyes of Giovanni. Its stumpy tail wagged happily. He gently set the pokémon down, to be inspected by Begy. Begy gave a tentative sniff, but was then shocked when the small unknown pokémon suddenly morphed into a Pikachu. Giovanni was so flustered! He swiftly ran inside and snatched up his pokédex, then ran back outside to see two Butterfree floating around. One was spirit and one had to be the baby pokémon. Taking a guess, he flipped open the dex and scanned the one floating on the left. The tinny voice spoke up and cricked through the speaker. "Butterfree, the Butterfly Pokémon. Butterfree is the evolved form of Metapod. The scales covering its wings help it to shed water." Well, must be the other one. He flipped over and scanned the other butterfree. A small fox looking pokémon appeared on the screen and the voice spoke up again. "Zorua, the Tricky Fox Pokémon. Zorua hides its true form by changing its shape into people and Pokémon, and loves to surprise people." The voice went silent. The Not-Butterfree floated over and landed in Giovanni's arms. It then turned back into the Zorua shape. Giovanni smiled. "Well.. Then I guess it's nice to meet you, Tricky." He chuckled and the zorua yipped with delight. ... A few weeks after the Zorua hatched from it's egg, Giovanni decided to go adventuring as a pokémon trainer. His mother and father were proud and his agency was okay with it as long as he would schedule photo shoots in different locations. So, with a smile on his face, a spring in his step, and Begy's and Spirit's pokéball in his pack (and Tricky in his arms of course) He set off for adventure!
