Piper Black

Piper is the Top Student and Gym Leader at the Alto Mare Trainer School. Due to her position she rarely leaves this school and is sent into battle for competitions and also judges many beginner competitions. She will often adventure out into the Orange Archipelago or other locations in Johto to train or also catch many new and beautiful Pokemon. Her main focus of Pokemon is on beautiful and cute Pokemon that can also fight with amazing grace and lovely coordination which permits her to trump the other trainers in the Alto Mare Trainer School. She is said to have been capable of graduating to a staff member, but decided to continue her training and keeping her position as a Gym Leader for the Alto Mare school. She is renowned for her extracurricular Water-type Specialist sessions for both Gym Battles and Coordinating. Like the Alto Mare Trainer School she focuses on Water-types.

In Rotation
Piper often only keeps less than six Pokemon in her rotation but will often have all six when fighting a challenger. She may also have others on hand depending on the occasion and also is known for catching the majority of the Pokemon the Alto Mare Trainer School uses.
