Tony

Tony is a private investigator that was hired by several concerned parents of Prairieville to find the then-missing Lucky Breaks Guild kids. While Tony has not become an official member of The Lucky Breaks Guild, he carries their badge and has accompanied them on several Guild missions."'I'm a hard-boiled detective. You may think solving mysteries is all fun and games, but it's not all it's cracked up to be. You gotta shell out the time to look for clues and connect the dots- it's no yolk. It can be dangerous work sometimes, last thing you want is to get into a situation that's scrambled and end up poached by some gangsters or criminals. I'm the best there is, and every time I get the evidence for the case to go over easy and land those criminals behind bars.'"

Background
Originally from a big city, Tony is a hard-boiled detective. Being smaller and weaker than most Pokémon, Tony has learned how to use brains against brawn to get by. Above anything else, he's honed his skills of perception and persuasion to aid in his investigations. While Tony is a little rough around the edges, (both figuratively and literally) he has a caring and kind personality once you get to know him.

However mature he may seem now, Tony wasn't always there for his friends when they needed him. Through his actions he tries to redeem his past, but his regret still haunts him until he's ready to come face-to-face with his greatest moral failing.

In Game
The other player characters first met Tony when they finally arrived back at Prairieville after having disappeared for some time after entering a shimmering spot. Before their arrival, Tony had spent the past several months putting together clues, interviewing the parents and other residents of Prairieville, and helping the local law enforcement with searching for the missing kids. He had gotten to know the residents fairly well and even befriended a few; however, he had kept his emotional distance from the parents and those who were distraught by the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the guild kids.

Early on, Tony had taken on a parental role to the group, especially with Anana. This started after the kids were re-united with their parents and Tony noted that some kids were less happy than others to be back in the company of their parents. Since becoming attached to the quaint and sleepy town of Prairieville, Tony felt that accompanying the kids on their adventures & keeping them safe was upholding his original promise to their parents to find them, and by extension, to keep them safe.
