Training 101

To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause...
Human beings have been training Pokemon as long as anyone in this world can remember. Battling, breeding, coordinating, even crime... it all comes down to the ancient, oft-considered-sacred bond between man and 'mon. Hopeful children dream of the day when they'll receive (or even better, catch themselves!) their first Pokemon. Successful battlers can go from not being known from Adam to becoming minor local celebrities, to having the entire world's eyes on them while they rise through the ranks of the Pokemon League. While working with these wonderful creatures has branched off over time into a few more specialized categories, the most common, tried-and-true category that folks fall into is simply... Trainer.
