((hurhur, didn't want to get too cocky and make an account. B) ))
The Psiioniic (You can call him Psi for short)
Leader of Vermillion City Gym
He favors double battles with electric types.
Confront him in the gym, and you'll be facing these beasts:
Alpha the Plusle
A quiet and reserved little creature, Alpha doesn't typically show herself unless Psi needs her for battle, preferring to spend her time hanging off her trainer's back or keeping watch of him from afar. She's wary around strangers, and will often hide should they approach.
Disregarding her in the thick of battle because of her timid nature is probably the biggest mistake one can make. For such a small Pokemon, Alpha is surprisingly ruthless in battle, and lives up to her namestake in that she could very likely be considered the powerhouse of Psi's team. Whatever you do, approach with caution.

Beta the Minun
Picture a small child, about four or five maybe. Now that you've got that image in your head, give that child all the sugar he can eat and a kazoo. Then turn it into a Pokemon. This is probably the closest you'll get to defining Beta- his energy is boundless, as is his ability to irritate anything that gets in his way. Though Psi can keep a handle on him and his actions during battle, he's a bit too lax on him otherwise, unfortunately, permitting him to run free and wreck havoc throughout the gym. It is only within these confines the little Pokemon will operate, however; it's a rare thing that he'll leave the gym without Psi's awareness.
Eager and reckless as he can get, however, Beta is one heck of a support Pokemon. Oftentimes, his bravado is enough to distract challengers from the real threat on the field, leaving his teammates time to prepare themselves to sweep the field.

Gamma the Voltorb
Gamma has a dream. That dream involves blowing up in someone else's face after they've mistaken him for a Pokeball, though Psi refuses to indulge such dangerous, pointless extremism from his Pokemon. Instead, Gamma is likely the most surly Voltorb you'll ever encounter. He's cranky, shocks anything that moves, and overall, not a really pleasant Pokemon to be around. There's not much to say other than that.

Theta the Magnemite
For being a floating metal ball, Theta seems... surprisingly sane, at least when compared to the rest of the Psiioniic's Pokemon. He prefers to spend time in his Pokeball when not being used for battle, he follows orders to the best of his ability when in battle, and is otherwise perfectly bland in every single way.
... Other than the fact that he's oddly possessive of Psi. Theta is often seen lurking around behind his trainer while left to his own devices, shooting nasty glares and, when the Magnemite thinks it can get away with it, paralyzing shock waves at anyone who gets too close. He's got a jealous streak, though certain forces have kept him from acting upon it.
Psiioniic doesn't seem to have noticed this side of his Pokemon yet.

Moving on, if you beat his sorry yellow arse, you get this:
(We call this fabulous thing the Thunder Badge. It's shiny, it's official, and you know you want it.)
But wait a minute. Who IS this douchebag?
Psi is a product of war. Though it's been a while since he's been forced to helm a ship for any real purpose, that much is obvious in almost his every action- his cautious wariness and paranoia are unparalleled. It's progressed to the point where, despite being a land dwelling lowblood, the Psiioniic has taken the leadership position in a port town, the door inaccessible to anyone who can't swim or cut down the foliage in the way. This isn't without reason- should the day come where the sea dwellers take action, he's there, ready as the first and last line of defense to zap them into submission. Whether her Imperious Condescension has taken notice of this is unknown, though personally, Psi really hopes she hasn't. Being a thinker, not a fighter, Psi is easily manipulated into doing things by force. Put him into a position where those he cares about are at risk, and he'll do whatever you want.
Because honestly, Psi doesn't really enjoy fighting. A follower of the Sufferer's teachings, he prefers to use his prowess to defend rather than claim victory... Though that isn't to say he doesn't enjoy a challenge every now and then. A strong believer in brains over brawn, Psiioniic tries to challenge the trainers that come to him in ways they likely haven't been before, having created a gauntlet of traps and puzzles that he calls a gym tends to dissuade most potential opponents. Such is likely in their better interest, anyway- any League-hopeful that can't think strategically is going to have problems in the long run. He's just saving them the trouble.
Outside of all the battle and concerns regarding it, however, the Psiionic isn't a bad guy. Though he seems a bit severe, he's surprisingly soft spoken for a troll, good-natured and loyal to the core to those that earn his friendship.
He also has other Pokemon worthy of mention, though you aren't likely to see them in battle:
Iota the Magnezone
Iota was Psi's first Pokemon in the history of five-ever. Though a patient and modest Pokemon by nature, he seems to have adapted many of his trainer's mannerisms and habits, which have lead to the misunderstanding that the two of them are exactly the same, more often than not.
Though neither of them are particularly affectionate by nature, there's nearly an unspoken agreement between them that one will be at the other's side until the bitter end. He's literally never in his Pokeball, and is usually seen floating alongside the Psiionic as he goes about his business, keeping him company.
