This rock of a man stands impressively tall at 6ft or 183 cms, he is an intimidating force to reckon. He wears a headband around his forehead, sporting the logo of his families dojo on it, otherwise you probably would mistake the man for someone else. As he sports a jean vest, and a pair of sweat pants with a racing stripe down the side with a pair of tennis shoes. His backpack is worn from his years of trainer travels. But he is determined to strengthen himself through Pokemon training.

Personality Weaknesses:
Gullible - He might be a strong, brave and loyal fighter who would put it out all on the line for you. But he's dimwitted and is gullible. He falls for any little trick there is known to man. Too bad you rarely see a sweat on your brow when he is tricked into an ambush.
Slow - Rowe is slow. We're not talking physical slow. It just takes him some time to Get It. What exactly? Anything and everything.

Skills:
Martial Arts - Judo
The Masters Family dojo is a well known, They aren't a specialized gym. Simply a place that those who want to hone their Pokemon and inner strengths go to learn from his father and his father before him. Rowe lives on in this tradition. A junior black belt seeking inner strength and experience before he takes over the family dojo and earns his black belt. Rowe follows in the footsteps of everyone else of his family line.
Survival Tricks
Sleeping out doors, making a campfire, and cooking on an open flame don't seem to be a problem for Rowe. They are all things he has learned roughing it out in the woods. All things he is acquired as experience during his martial pilgrimage.
Fishing
A skill he was taught by a master of the waters. When he was handed an old fishing rod, the old fisher merely smiled at him. They sat together for hours on a rock, casting out rods in hopes to catch something in the waters. Rowe carries onto his newer fishing rod with the memory of the old man he met.
Nehmo Masters
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Region Currently In: Kanto
Region From: Johto
Trainer Class: Psychic
He seemed the complete opposite to the sturdy, confident man standing next to him. Thinner friend and with an air of creepy indifference, he simply stared into a completely different space. Some were unnerved by it. Others not so much. He chose to use his brother as his pack mule and only wore a travel hoodie sweater and comfortable walking shoes. He stood at 5'7" or 170 Cm.
Personality Strengths:
Smart - He is after all the brains of the duo. Though smart is a very broad term. Nehmo is a strategist, he is cunning and careful when it comes to any battle. He's often the one to have something, he doesn't go recklessly charging in like his brother tends to do. Beyond that he also has a very broad smartness, he's generally knowledgeable about Pokemon, studies well to know what their needs are for their care.
Quick Thinker - While he might have not been near as martially trained as his brother. Those things didn't interest him near as much when his powers began to develop, he still was taught by their father a dojo master. Nehmo caught on how to have quick reactions to circumstances that would otherwise shake others. He can often find a quick solution in a bind.
Fair - Nehmo has no interest in bullying or hurting others in battle. He refuses to fight those who are not within his range. He doesn't see the honor in fighting the kid with a single caterpie with a more evolved group of Pokemon. He'll offer words of advice, maybe, but he'll never partake in unfair actions.
Personality Flaws:
Creepy - Nehmo's indifference, especially when he is zoning off, can come off a little unnerving and off putting. Most find him completely creepy as he does not express near as much as his brother does. This does not mean Nehmo doesn't experience emotion or never expresses them, it simply means he can zone sometimes.
Zones Off - Nehmo has a habit of zoning off when he is lost in thought. And the thoughts are often normal everyday thoughts. He just has a habit of checking out while doing so.
Mean Streak - Nehmo does have a mean streak sometimes. Though its rarely towards anyone he cares for. While okay sometimes his brother deserves being left alone if he's not going to move. But Nehmo does not take kind to disrespect or Pokemon abuse or any other sort of foul behavior. Or continued behavior that may annoy him. He's known to be in those times a bit vindictive. I.e. like walking off from his brother while Rowe starts running off at the mouth.
Easily Annoyed - While patience to a point. Constant chaffing at him might not be the best idea. He can become quickly annoyed. Which triggers one of his redemption tactics. May it be dumping a glass of water on your head, bending a fork, or throwing a rock at you. It''s best to figure out what makes him tick and never do it again.
Equipment: *Rowe's sheet
Psychic Abilities:
Telekenisis -
Nehmo has demonstrated this by levitating his Pokeballs and casting them into the field without touching them physically. As well as spoon bending and other such feats.
Sychronize -
Nehmo has a rare gift to mirror the moves of Pokemon who share the same power as him. Thus Nehmo can conduct the same moves as them, as long as he has that Pokemon he can share a power with. Its part of his empathetic bond with them. This bond also makes his friendships with his Pokemon much stronger than just a strong Pokemon bond.
This is Nehmo's own unique gift. Like Sabrina could bind people into dolls and control reality. Nehmo's is the ability to use moves like Psychic or Psyshock.
*His Pokemon can steal be stolen, this just makes his Pokemon a little happier than base levels of happy. And Pokemon easily warm up to him.
Telepathy -
Nehmo like many psychics possess an ability of telepathy. This is how he shares his battle strategies with his Pokemon and not the other trainer. He can effectively communicate without a word to Pokemon with high happiness levels with him when to move without a single word.
His abilities are not indefinite. He can get exhausted or get a headache if he focuses too hard or over exerts his reach.
Skills:
Strategist -
Nehmo doesn't go into a battle without a plan. He knows the most effective use of his moves, he knows the most effective weaknesses to exploit. Nehmo is cunning and crafty, and will not lose to someone's sheer dumb luck, you have to have skill and a better strategy then him to truly beat him. Nehmo doesn't accept losses by someone's dumb blind luck. He sees it as a failure of training and the failure of the trainer.
PokeBaking -
A small little hobby of Nehmo's, Nehmo has studied recipes and experiments his own recipes to make the best pokepuff pastries for his Pokemon that he can. He has gathered knowledge about the type of berries and their flavoring. What type of Pokemon this pastry would benefit the most from and so and so forth. But he has no desire to join any contest for ribbons. He sees it as frivolous.
The Brothers' History:
Twenty-three years ago, Rowe was born in Ecruteak city. To Wrest the Black Belt of their family dojo. His father had been teaching Pokemon style Judo for several years before his birth. He was taught by his father and his father taught before him.
While the family dojo may have moved, the family style had never changed over the countless years the Masters taught their martial arts. The dojo taught fighting Pokemon and trainers side by side. The family style took lessons, legends say, from the first fighting Pokemon to ally with humans. And the families fist were said to be as powerful as a Pokemon's fist.
Though those may just be tall tales. Before Nehmo, Rowe was the one doted on. Affectionately loved by his grandmother, grandfather, mother, and father. And when he turned three he was slowly conditioned to prep for training in the family style.
The dojo had many Pokemon who wandered the hallway. Many of them his father's Pokemon and his grandfather's Pokemon. And their children. He began his training with Flex the Machop as soon as it had come out of the egg. Though no one prepared for the secondary introduction to the family Nehmo.
Rowe was four when Nehmo was born and there were already odd things about Nehmo's birth. There were whispers and everyone knew there was something different about this baby. They hear the baby talking ordinary baby talk in the room to baby Pokemon gathered around him. Nehmo refused till about five to use any object with his hands.
In some ways Nehmo's mother was a little frightened by her baby's strange gifts. They were a family of martial masters. Not ones who had babies who used their mind to move objects and talk to Pokemon as people talk to people.
While her mother, their grandmother, tried to encourage her that this may have been a good thing. Neither parent didn't quite know how to react to their new family member. And Nehmo certainly didn't seem to want to follow any family traditions.
Using his hands to punch bags didn't satisfy him enough. Why do such a boring task when you can lift objects with your mind. Sable was his first Pokemon, an Eevee gifted to him by a family friend. Which made him a target of the families uncertainty.
When it was time for both boys to learn from the schoolhouse close by in the same city. Nehmo became subject of other students ridicule. He was a weird kid who could do things with a thought and not a single touch.
Over those years Rowe became over protective of his brother. Tried hard to fight for Nehmo's honor. And stand for the injustice his baby brother experienced for being different. Then came a time, when Nehmo was seven and Rowe eleven drifted apart.
Rowe already delayed his Pokemon journey when he was ten for Nehmo's sake. Waited a year. But in order to some day inherit the dojo he needed the experience of travel as his father did, and his grandfather., He set out in search for his own strength.
Rowe spent many of those years training with Flex to become stronger. Hiding in the forest. Practicing. And training their martial skills before they decided they were ready to take on any battles. They made a new friend in those years, Munchy the Munchlax.
Munchy had been stealing food from the duos pack and was coaxed into being Rowe's friend if it promised not to steal any more of his food. Instead Rowe would feed Munchy whenever he was hungry. He didn't know that it would always be hungry though.
They didn't fight many battles. In fact they fought a few. And took down a few gym leaders. Beating Whitney in glory. Then at fourteen he planned to return to his hometown, in order to meet his brother in hopes to guide him on the start of his journey.
To his surprise and his family worry. Nehmo left overnight before saying goodbye to anyone.
Nehmo being eager for adventure and looking for a reason to run away from the ridicule and hardship he faced. While the city he grew up in was closer connected to ghost and spirits, many kids were not used to adequately dealing with a student with the power to move objects on his own.
Worried about his younger brother's safety and how outsiders might react to Nehmo's powers, he raced to find his younger brother. Wherever he may be. In order to protect him from the dangers of a cruel world.
It took him a year before he found his younger brother. Nehmo had become a cunning escape artist for a while. Evading him every step of the way. Embarrassingly his brother had earned more gym badges then him.
Nehmo didn't need Rowe to protect him. Rowe did not see this and continues to not be able to let go of his oath to keep his brother safe.
They often are seen fighting together in double battles. As people are conflicted if the brothers even actually want to have each other around.
