Player: Red Character: Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane Time Spent In-Game: Since 2016 Retroactive Retirement?: N/A
How did your character change in Victory Road?: He... has been through the wringer. He's lost more friends, more loved ones, than he knows what to do with. He conquered the E4, pitched in against every weird and threatening thing that's happened since he arrived. At one point, he even got married. He's raised a team of powerful, caring pokemon with so much personality, helped some endangered ones, the list goes on. He's been through so much it's hard to really elaborate effectively. Very slowly, he started to improve in starts and stops, in terms of his trauma, his past, and opening up more to his friends, instead of just feeling like the whole world was on his shoulders.
What did your character do to impact the setting?: He established himself as a researcher at the observatory, especially for the younger visitors, taking school students on tours. He's an E4 Champion, who also owns a house on the same island as the observatory - which has a lot of rooms for the occasional wayward trainer to crash in. He's also helped out a great deal with the Lapras Project that Armin started, checking in on them as much as he could.
Why do YOU feel your character should be retired?: He's been here for so long, he's come to the end of the arc, really. And being in VR with his pokemon, researching space, is a better ending for him than canon gave.
NPC Info: Shiro will remain at the Observatory on Four Island in the Sevi Islands. He will continue his work as a researcher, and offering spare rooms of his house on the same island to trainers who need somewhere that isn't a pokemon center. He is always ready to train with new arrivals, and his Aggron is a constant figure watching over the beach in front of the house. Just in case.
