Description
Here we have the first of the Johto League Gym leaders, Falkner Takahashi and his faithful Pidgeotto companion, Russo.

Falkner is a 17 year old with both great talent and attractive features.
While his father is away traveling, Falkner was chosen and left in charge of the Violet City Gym.

He is vain and has a habit of fawning over his own looks in every reflective surface he finds.
He almost never leaves home without a mirror and is often seen with other teenaged girls clamoring around to get his attention or an autograph.

He is almost always seen with a smile on his face and the sparkles around his face never seem to go away.
When asked by others to turn them off, he often replies; "I can not." with a genuine smile.

It's assumed the sparkles are actually apart of his anatomy that he literally cannot control.

Despite his narcissistic attitude, he is no pushover.
He may be the first Gym leader that many beginner trainers encounter on their journey, but that does NOT make him weak.
Each of his birds are expertly trained by him and his father and each of them have sharp beaks and talons powerful enough to pack a serious punch and shred up even the most determined of opponents.

Russo (Male/ Lv. 39), the Pidgeotto seen beside him, though not the strongest bird in his arsenal,
is easily his most loyal and most trusted friend. It's said that he loves Russo more than he loves himself and is commonly found grooming and coddling the bird in his spare time.

Their favorite pastime together is hang-gliding.

Omg, this was so much fun!
Both 'Strike-ifying' Falkner and writing his bio. XD

As you can probably tell, I used Falkner's official HGSS art as a base/ref for his pose because even though I'm
improving with drawing people, posing in general is still difficult.
