Appearance;

Axelle is large bodied. His glorious build appears to be carved out of fur, as the large mass is usually mistaken as not powerful. But if you look closely you can see the beast's muscles ripple beneath his fur ever so lightly. His fur is a light blueish-gray, with a dull odd tan marking.

Starting from his head. Axelle's head is box-like, his forehead is broad and flat and only comes to a bump as it slopes to Axelle's eyes and eyebrows, then it slopes downward to his nose. So the top of his head is more or less in the shape of a large, obtuse triangle. His nose is camel-like, or rabbit-like, in the sense of appearance and functionality. He can choose to close his nostrils if he wishes to. Making him a perfect candidate for winter, desert, and other weather conditions. Axelle's jaws are massive; he has the same type of teeth build as a bear, more namely a Polar Bear. His body is overall in a square shape, his body is solidly built. But old age has certainly taken its toll on his body. But for his true age, he's still rather fit. His legs are stocky, though he's hardly considered short as this beast stands about seven feet tall when sitting upright without his front feet touching the ground. His feet sport long, but dull looking, claws. Despite the dull look, these claws are close to being seven to eight inches in length.

His fur is mainly curly now, the creature's soft, long fur seems to have been harvested not too long ago but he still keeps a fairly thick mane around his neck and upper chest. But his fur is mainly weather proof, and it acts as a light armor for the creature.

Many, many misfortunes have befallen this lonely Typhlosion. Though this creature may sound beautiful at first from this description, Axelle is not a beautiful being. He hardly holds his old beauty of his younger days. His fur is much duller, and it appears to be falling out in some places. Especially around his feet and elbows, as he's lying down more often. He is absolutely mauled with scars, more notably the ones on his face. The whole right side of his face appears to have been deeply burned as it's extremely disfigured. The creature's ears were cut off, which with how it looks it must have been done purposely with either a knife or scissors. He lacks much fur around the top band of his nose, like his mouth had been tied shut for years. Other notable scars were the ones on his back and right thy. They ran rather long aside his skin, they were nearly the cause of his death before he had been dumped and found by Thomas. The creature has many burns and scars, but they're mainly hidden from sight as his fur continues to grow. Another feature is his eyes, they were once filled with light and joy. Now they are dull red ovals, his right eye is filled with cataracts but his left eye seems completely fine for his old age. Though he is getting on in age and his eye sight island has been diminishing. His face is gray, a silver tinge has settled into his features. It continues to cover his face, his hackles, and now his paws.

Axelle's face, when he was younger and in his glory days, he would always have the face of happiness. But this overwhelming laughter that was once in full is now gone, he's more serious now and his face often has a bit of tiredness and sadness mixed in. He became what he so greatly feared, but he keeps a strong attitude towards the simple joys in life. He rarely cracks a grin now, but it can happen especially with Thomas. The creature would never admit it publicly, but he has a fondness for the boy far more than he had ever held for a human. Although in his old age, he works for Thomas, rarely taking on battles now but he is the main ridden transport

Personality;

Axelle, over the years his book hasn't been read over completely and not everything about him will reach the lips to most. Axelle is a different Pokemon compared to his younger self, over the years he had gone through so many emotional and physical attacks and distress that the poor thing can't really stay on one topic too well without drifting off into a silence vigil. The once laid back creature was now a serious miser, the once sunny outlook on life was filled with gloomy, and even stormy, clouds over head. His new mind set has been broiling in a pot for what seemed like years until the cooked result sprung forth. He was in a sort of a depression most of the time now, the sadness and pain of past events haunt him in the worst ways lately.

Axelle seems to be full gone out of his mind, but he keeps himself in check as well as he can. But after the traumatizing injuries, his memories, he can no longer keep himself from often speaking to himself like the crazy, old man he clearly looks like. Even though he seems frail, Axelle is still a force to be reckoned with. He's still sensible in the form of understanding what will happen if he doesn't take action, so Axelle is clearly not a helpless creature and dislikes the idea of people becoming sympathetic for him as he won't often do the same for others often.

Axelle is in the constant search of companionship from Thomas, he can grow pushy towards Thomas from time to time. Although he is only showing the boy love, having a huge beast trying to nuzzle up to you isn’t exactly nice. He becomes rougher when Thomas tends to ignore him.

But other than his mildly mean nature and old age, this beast is fairly kind but possessive of those on his team.

History;

When Axelle was born, he was of royal blood. Whether you, the reader, consider this a blessing or a hopeful notion, Axelle did not. It was a curse for him, the bane of his existence.

Axelle was born into a clan, a clan that was ruled over by females. This clan was completely made up out of Cyndaquils, Quilavas, and Typhlosions that had, over the centuries, adapted well to cold and snowy conditions.

Axelle was born to the Queen, the head honcho of the whole clan. His destiny was sadly already decided for him even before he was born, as it's a ritual for all first born males to the Queen. They are to be aged to one year and then discarded; keeping the male foreboded bad luck. No one really questioned it, but it was believed destruction would come to the snow dwelling clan if they didn't do as instructed in the legends and old stories. If it wasn't for this horrible legend, Axelle would have been a great asset to the clan, which makes this story a little bittersweet.

Axelle and his mother were extremely close, they bonded like two lovers. The mother/son bond was powerful, but sadly his mother chose her ranking over her first son. He was given to a younger couple to foster, they dreaded the day they would have to give him up as the little prince was all they wished for. But they attempted to please and love the little prince as much as they could, but he didn't know anything until the day came upon them all as Axelle turned a year old. Axelle was ritually banished from the clan's rankings and lands for the rest of his life. Like many first born males before him, Axelle left his home behind.

Axelle traveled, the small creature searched and searched and searched for a place to call his own. It wasn't until, near the Eastern part of the map, Axelle was nearly incapable of going on with his travels, did he find a small town. It was a small, but rather friendly community. Although they weren't so friendly to Axelle, none the less he made his home on the near out skirts of the town. He summed up his house as a small little stick tent with some largish leaves placed over it to attempt to keep the rain out. Though it would often fail, and at times after a rain he would sit there and sigh as he dried himself out. What was even worse was that Axelle's reputation wasn't any better, except the once brave little Cyndaquil had transformed into an underweight wimp. The Cyndaquil had made a change for the worse, turning into a timid little thing. And it wasn't until one day did his life change, he had been made fun of and picked on by one of the teams in the area while he was talking with Auntie Kanga. The last straw--he ran off.

A terrible sadness filled the youngster's heart, and he decidedly ran into a forest. Well, that choice changed his life for the better. He encountered another Pokemon, it was sleeping on the side of the river innocently. At first Axelle believed it would attack him, after a few minutes watching it breathe the Cyndaquil decided it was safe. He stepped out from the bush, crawled towards the Pokemon t take a good look at it. It was clearly a water type, he believed that they were called Mudkips. He took a seat next to the Pokemon, it made him feel better that someone was there with him. The thought of a rescue team didn't cross his mind until the water Pokemon woke up. As it stirred, Axelle attempted to hide from the Pokemon but it failed. Despite the fear, Axelle quickly learned that the Mud Fish Pokemon couldn't remember anything but his name. Axelle quickly took up the opportunity to make friends with the Mudkip, who stated his name was Suzu. Suzu grew to like Axelle, befriending him. Axelle would then suggest they form a Rescue Team. Which they did, Axelle made Suzu the team leader as he believed he could not hold that role up. They formed Team Sogon, which was Axelle's dream come true.

Rumors quickly spread, not only that but from the mouth of one of Team Sogon's most rivaled team. From a team formed from a Gengar, Ekans, and Medicham who called themselves Team Meanies. They were spreading a rumor that Suzu was cursed, a cursed human that Ninetales had imprisoned for touching it's tails. It was then that the town revolted against Team Sogon, abandoning Suzu. Axelle admired the Mudkip, and couldn't bare to leave him to be picked off like scrap meat. Axelle would keep a very close eye on the town, often sleeping outside of Suzu's house. It paid off, as the town quickly came and stormed the house. Axelle and Suzu thankfully got away and hid. They both decided that it was getting out of hand, so they decided to search out Ninetales. But, they failed to find her as they ran away to figure out this problem. They encountered someone just as informational, Xatu, who told the team the truth.

Suzu was a human and yes he was transformed into a human, but no.. he was not the one cursed. And that was all Xatu gave them before sending them back. Axelle and Suzu ran East, where they were told to run. They needed to get information from all three legendary birds, during the travel to Articuno they encountered an Absol who was named Andreas. He joined the team temporarily to defeat the last bird.
With the birds defeated and the mob of rescue teams close behind them, the ragged team pushed forward. The timid Cyndaquil felt as if he couldn't go on, so the two took a detour. Hopeful that the mob of rescue teams would pass over them.

Strangely enough, the cave they had wandered into was that owned by the Ninetales. The two were sleeping when the fox Pokemon came upon them, she quickly recognized Suzu. The chosen one. Axelle woke up as the fox stepped forward, but he knew his fire attacks would be all useless. But he would do his best to protect his friend. The Ninetales saw this in him, explaining she knew Suzu. Her being the Ninetales from the legend, she had sent for Suzu to come to the Pokemon world. But Axelle's meeting with the fox was cut short as the voices of various Pokemon sounded off, they had found them. Axelle quickly woke up Suzu, and they took off with the Ninetales. But it wasn't long until the two just couldn't run any longer. When they simply thought they were done for, Ninetales stepped in. Telling what had originally happened. And with Ninetales' help, Suzu and Axelle regained their health. They would be ready to take on the cause of the natural disasters of that point of time, which was Groudon.

The two battled Groudon alone, their team work was amazing. They forced the beast into another sleep. After this, it would generally all go down hill for Axelle. Suzu's job being done as a Pokemon, he left. Lots of tears fell that day, one of many sad endings for Axelle. Though Axelle's heart was broken, he continued with the Rescue Team. Convincing Andreas to join him in his pursuit in becoming the greatest Rescue Team the town had. He dealt with the falling meteor along side Andreas, but this is where he left it. Team Sogon was a Diamond Rank, and Axelle stated his job was also done there in that little town. Axelle's first purpose of staying was to see if Suzu would return, but Axelle waited eight long years in order for this to happen and it never did. But he committed everything to memory, and the happiness of his first friend is still burned into his heart. Axelle, during these eight years, had committed himself to become stronger, which he succeeded in doing.

Convinced Suzu was never coming back to the Pokemon world, Axelle took off and left Andreas to himself. Axelle would search for Suzu in the human world instead. But the strong Cyndaquil quickly found himself captured by a trainer by the name of Thomas. Axelle had found the Sinnoh Region, he appeared near a town which the eighteen year old trainer was residing in for the moment and he was captured promptly as the trainer took an interest in owning a fire Pokemon. The Cyndaquil was quickly trained and he evolved into long and slender Quilava, though this was for a rather short time until he evolved into his final stage of a fully fledged Typhlosion. Thomas used him mainly as a power house, a tank of sorts with his defense and special attack soaring through the roof. Axelle was only introduced to one other team member, the boy's Emploeon who was named Arashi Umi. They became fast friends, often training together.

But it wasn't too long until Thomas took turn for the worst. One day, while at a Poke'Center, a man named Cyrus appeared. Claimed to be a great scientist, and as soon as Thomas was taking his leave. Cyrus pulled an offer on Thomas that he simply couldn't refuse, like most human beings they craved power. And Thomas also craved this power, he was struggling to gather the badges he so desperately needed to challenge the Elite Four. He joined Team Galactic, becoming an underling of Cyrus'. Though Thomas saw what Cyrus was doing as the wrong thing to do, how could a world live without the spirits? No emotion, knowledge, or willpower. Humans wouldn't be humans.. they would be puppets. Many times Thomas would turn to Axelle for comfort and protection, Axelle certainly was the best giant pillow any kid would ever want. This caused a change in Axelle, a very nurturing side of him appeared. He held compassion for someone else that wasn't even a Pokemon, someone who had rather cruelly captured him. For some reason, Thomas seemed to know it was coming.

The day that Cyrus attempted to create a world that fit his own vision was the day Thomas ran and released everyone except his first Typhlosion, he had sent everyone except Axelle to his friend to release. And before Thomas created a conflict, the boy released the Typhlosion. Axelle didn't understand at first, he stood at Thomas' side for a long time during the revolt against Cyrus. He even stood and attacked for the boy, but he wasn't commanded, which felt strange to him. He attempted to protect Thomas but his attempt failed as an attack from the controlled Palkia dismissed the boy to somewhere unknown to Axelle. The blast sent Axelle flying back into the cave. It would be a while until Axelle would be able the go back out to the Pillar, not seeing any trace of Cyrus or the Space and Time entities Axelle recovered within the town below the mountain. Axelle lived for quite a few years in the city, scrounging off trash and smaller Pokemon. He left once he thought there was nothing else there to seek, and left for the Pokemon world once again.

This time, he got there through swimming. Using mainly his instincts, Axelle formed a clan. It grew fairly quick, as the area he choose was fairly traveled through. This is where Axelle first caught sight of a potential lover. Axelle had never thought to be involved with anyone like he had with this Pokemon, she was absolutely beautiful. But, before he could ask her name, she had disappeared. Disappointed, but not discouraged, Axelle continued with his clan. But it started to fall apart, mainly from lack of food and members disappearing. When Axelle decided that no one was left, he left. He left the Pokemon world once again. He told himself he would never return, as too many disappointments occurred there. But this is the step into a very dark world, where he would nearly loose his life.

Axelle was in his prime, the age of 20 years, he wasn't easy to capture but he was eventually. This time by a trainer with dark intentions, intentions to use Axelle for killing and robbery. Axelle was transformed into an aggressive man killer, but this took much time as the genital Typhlosion knew it was wrong but it was the only way he'd get food, water, and living space. He also turned mean for the reasons of abuse. Being hit, kicked, whipped, belted, zapped, stabbed, and everything else you can imagine. But it was more like implanted fear for the next coming punishment, he did most of his work off this set of mind. It was his job to kill and clean up after the mess, so he was taught how to use his teeth and claws for killing instead of his attacks. It had to be silent and efficient. But, not even a year later did this trainer decide to get a new Pokemon and traded Axelle off to the fighting ring.

The day he arrived Axelle was quickly taught who was in charge, the boss was a rather small man. Axelle could easily over power him, but he was shown that with numbers on the boss's side he wouldn't survive a second of battle time. He was quickly tied up, mouth was bound shut, his cute cupped ears were cruelly snipped off with scissors and his glorious man was shaved off. It took two years in order to force Axelle to be fully obedient and a rather desperate creature. Axelle would, at first fight due to hunger, he was allowed to eat from the Pokemon or animal he was faced off with. After a while he would grow accustom to it all, able to kill when told. He was on the top charts for ten years, earning him many scars but none like the ones he would get for his last battle. The 31 year old Typhlosion was faced with the biggest fight of his life one winter night, it was another Typhlosion but a much bigger, stronger, and darker Typhlosion. The battle was long, the battle was to the death. Axelle acquired his large facial burn and back scars from this battle that continues to haunt him to this day. Axelle had lost, if it wasn't for the boss of Axelle's battles then Axelle would have been dead. But Axelle was pulled out of there. Ironically, the other Typhlosion died not more than three hours later and Axelle survived... more or less. He was unfortunate that his injuries were so severe that he wasn't fight worthy any longer. The boss felt for his once prized Pokemon, and he kept the Typhlosion and took care of him. For three years he was able to keep the Typhlosion as a relatively tame pet, but the money stopped coming in and he was unable to keep him. He released the Typhlosion in a last ditch effort, Axelle would be released during late winter. His boss felt horrible for it, but he could no longer afford for the large creature. So Axelle took his leave. Not long into his days on his own, the 34 year old Typhlosion was beginning to starve and freeze to death.

His savior was a boy, under the name of Thomas. The Typhlosion recognized the boy right away, but Thomas did not recognize Axelle. It was far later on in did Thomas learn that Axelle was the same Typholsion he caught in Sinnoh back then. Regardless, Axelle has been with Thomas ever since.
