Level: 70 (MAX) Met At Level: 3 Gender: Male Ability:Inner Focus Held Item: None Personality: Soft Steel sees himself as the "Only Sane Being" of his group, being rather practical and down-to-earth compared to Right and Wagon. Calm-headed, he likes to train and hone his fighting abilities. Having the natural ability to see a being's aura has taught him to be highly aware of his surroundings as well as the beings around him at all times. This does put him at odds with Right and his other Pokemon at times, but usually in a "guys, please be more aware" kind of way. He has a surprisingly strong sense of right vs wrong, though, and have little tolerance for those who are cruel and wicked. History: Soft Steel was hatched at the Breeding Center, and spent much of his short life there. He learned early on that some of the weaker Pokemon were having trouble getting their fair share of food out of the communal feeding bowls, due to a trio of greedy Murkrow chicks, and often got into fight with that trio. Unfortunately, none of the workers were around long enough to see the Murkrows' evil acts, and instead acted like Soft Steel was starting unnecessary fights. This went on for nearly two weeks until Right showed up one day. The human was actually hoping to get a Munchlax, but quickly realized the food issue and helped Soft Steel kick the Murkrows' butts. Right was the one who finally explained to the center workers what was really going on, and told the dark-type birds very plainly that if they tried to hog the food again, he'd show no mercy. Grateful for Right's help, and impressed with both his skills of beating up bullies and his sense of justice, Soft Steel chose to bond with Right that day. He quickly learned that while Right looked human, and had a mostly-human aura, they could talk like the lad was a Pokemon himself. The only thing he regrets about choosing Right, though, is the latter's way of thinking and doing things. It has sometimes frustrated and/or embarrassed the Riolu to the point of putting his face into his palm. As Of 04/22/15: During the time-travel event, Soft Steel, having heard Right's statement in his speech that he would never abandon his friends, felt a new-found understanding with his human. Thus, their bond of friendship grew so strong that it triggered his evolution upon their return to Union. Fully accepting his role as second-in-command of their team, he's currently honing his newly-expanded aura abilities in order to help his human friend out in any future adventures. As of June 2016: Soft Steel has hit the current level cap of 70 after helping Right try to free the Gigases the first time.
