#[basic reason mom and ciar encouraged her]

@misscleverclogs​ asked: What inspired Shida to be a trainer of dark type Pokemon?

Other than she just really likes dark types, it’s a combo of her mother and Ciar. When she was little she would get teased for liking dark types. Her mother constantly encouraged her to ignore what the other kids said and do her own thing. As long as she was happy and loved her Pokemon that was all that mattered. Ciar was just as encouraging though after she and Hiro moved in with him and Senga, he tended to scare off anyone who tried to pick on either twin with his Hydreigon. The first pokemon she actually caught on her own was a Deino. She kept bugging Ciar to help her catch one and eventually he caved in and lent her one of his own Pokemon so she could catch one. His Hydreigon is very fond of Shida as well and tends to follow her around whenever Ciar doesn’t need him.
