History:

Kenton was born in a clutch of 5 eggs in the prehistoric age by two Aerodactyl parents. Out of the five, he was the unlucky runt of the litter, so he had to make up for his size. As a child, his parents kept a close eye on their hatchlings, making sure they didn’t fall off their perch to their death. Kenton never really got along with his other siblings, as they usually try to eat his meat their father brings or keep him out from getting any water from the small pond near their nest, all because he was the runt. When it came to flying day, all of his siblings expected him to fall to his death instead of fly. When they all took off, only two fell: The first born and the third born. He and his other two siblings were able to fly safely. He felt no remorse for them, for they had it coming. His parents were sad, but they knew they were going to lose someone. At year thirteen, the three hatchlings were able to leave the nest and start their own lives. The three siblings went their separate ways, and he never really saw them ever again.


It was hard for Kenton to hunt, due to his small stature, but he somehow survived. He thrived off the land eating mainly bugs, and usually hid when larger Pokémon searching for food stomped passed him. He usually never stayed at one spot since there were always larger Pokémon, so he was constantly on the move, sleeping in spots that not many predators would look. One day, while searching for bugs, he spotted a nest filled with eggs, the parents nowhere to be found. His stomach took the better of his mind and he proceeded to try to steal one. He grabbed one and cracked it open with his jaws, eating the contents inside. Suddenly, the earth shook around him and a shadow casted over him. Yolk dangling from his face, Kenton looked up to see a huge Rampardos. The beast let out a large bellow and tried to grab him with its jaws, only to have him quickly stammer away. He flapped his wings and flew through the dense forest with the enraged and hungry Rampardos following behind. He looked back to see if it was still chasing, quickly avoiding the trees. When his head turned back around, he slammed into a cliff wall headfirst. A bit dazed by the sudden hit, he tried to fly up only to get tangled in some vines. The Rampardos was now closing in, its harsh growls piercing Kenton’s ears. The large reptile approached the trapped Aerodactyl, seemed to grin at him. The creature then opened its jaw, ready to swallow him head first. Fear went through the young Aerodactyl’s body. He knew his life was about to end in this moment, and the fear froze him in place. Suddenly, he felt something burning in his chest. The burning soon spread to his throat, and he couldn’t hold back the burning pain anymore. He spat out a light green liquid into the mouth of the Rampardos. The creature closed its mouth, and gagged in pain. The pain came back to him, and he spat again at the creature’s face. The acid-like spit started to burn the creature’s face, forcing it to flee from the area. The liquid dripped from his mouth, which started to burn the vines to where he could escape. With this power, he was able to survive better with this defense mechanism.


Kenton continued to spit the acid whenever the burning pain came from it. Every time he would spit out the acid, the pain would stop for a few minutes. After many times of spitting it, the pain slowly subsided and he was able to freely control the acid. One day, he decided to make a home out of a huge oak tree, so he used his acid to burn a hole in it. As he slept there for the night, the thick sap started to seep through and started to cover him, without his knowledge. The sap fully covered him, and with the chilling nightfall, it froze over him. Many years passed since then. The tree where he was trapped in died and fell into the earth, covering up the old amber. His skin soon rotted away, leaving behind only his skeleton. The rigid amber he was encased in smoothed out from the constant pressure in the ground. After millions of years passed, someone finally discovered Kenton’s fossil. A group of scientists named The Commonwealth discovered his fossil during an excavation for several fossils Pokémon for experiments. When the Commonwealth returned to their lab in Rhode Island, they decided to try to resurrect some of the fossils they obtained. The first two fossils were unsuccessful and only ended up breaking them in half. They then decided to try to use the Old Amber they got. They placed it in the machine, and doubled the power from the past two attempts. The amber soon cracked, but the skeleton remained intact. The skeleton soon rose from the broken amber, the muscle and flesh returning to the once living beast. The machine stopped, and the beast fell to the floor. The scientists surrounded the creature and viewed it. Suddenly, eyes flashed open, and the beast stumbled upward. Its pupils shrunk at the sight of everything: lights, strange liquids, technology, and different species. His primitive mind raced. He was scared by everything. His mind went blank, and he went into culture shock. The earth shook below him, bits of the ground erupted from the ground. The ground slammed into the wall, breaking a piece of the wall and creating a hole. Kenton jumped through, and rampaged through the city. His rampage caught the attention of The Team, and they sprang to action to try to detain him. They knocked him down, and pinned him down. Kenton soon calmed down, his mind clearing and soon adjusting to the sudden change. He felt a pang of guilt, and tried to ask for forgiveness. The Team eased up, and let him stand. Since he couldn’t speak, he made a series of motions, showing them that he wanted to show them forgiveness by cleaning up his mess and helping them out. The Team agreed, and they showed him their base, where he will be training to become a hero.

Personality: Kenton is very curious of his surroundings. With his primitive mind, he doesn’t fully understand everything around him, so he would usually stare and figure out what it is until told what is it or figures it out. He can barely understand English, but he tries to learn, despite lacking the vocal cords to actually speak. Since he can’t understand English very well, whenever someone cracks a joke near him and starts to laugh, he would take it seriously and growl at them.

Hobbies: He enjoys flying, as it exercises his wings. He also likes to draw, mostly with paint.

Extra:
He currently lives with the Commonwealth, as the lab is close to Happy Harbor.
His size is 5’10”, which is the same size as a regular Aerodactly, but compared to his family he is short, thus making him the runt of the family.
He’s trying to learn sign language, as well as trying to understand English.
