(if this is not okay to post, just say so! It's not a battle or anything, just a slight introduction of Nyght. I want to kind of get him out there a little. Others can come talk to him but he won't admit who he is or anything as of right now, I'm saving that for a later time.)
He was barely outside the town, the trees covering the sunlight. It was a beautiful sunny day, not a breeze or buzz gone by all afternoon.
Nyght wandered over to the site of the burned-down building that had once been the Pokemon Adoption Center. It was his father's pride and joy in all of Kansai before it had burned and taken him with.
It was also the place where Nyght had formed his team, the six Pokemon living here and saved by his father. One ending had led to a beautiful beginning.
In the center of the burnt building was a gravestone. Nyght and the few people around had placed it there in memory of his beloved dad. Now, vines covered over it, but they crumbled easily under Nyght's hand as he brushed them away.
On it, the words read,
Zachary Nyght Zasq Beloved Pokemon Caretaker
Nyght stood there for a minute, reading the name over and over. This had happened twelve years ago. Yet the feeling remained the same.
The mourning had passed, and Nyght was free of the pangs of grief. There was still a sadness, the longing to see him again, but Nyght had come to accept the death. Besides, he had a new family.
And they all rested in their Pokeballs, which hung along his belt.
Nyght smiled.

William was walking by and saw someone standing in front of a stone inside a burnt out building. He walks over to see what was up. "Hey," William says, trying to get his attention. There was no response, so he tries again. "Hey dude. Anything happen yet? You gonna talk?" The guy was still frozen still. Then William read the stone. "Is that your father?" Still no answer. William choses top wait till he says something.
Few minutes later, he tries to strike up a conversation. "I'm looking for a friend. His name is Eric Andrews. We have been friends for a while.................Have you seen a bald person that has a Pikachu?........I once pulled a funny prank on him. It has to do with his sister..........Well, when we were 14, he saw us hanging out after school. His sister tells me about him thinking we're going out already. So one day, I head out to the house as he was going to the Pokemart with his mom. When he got back he saw his sister looking suspicious. He walks towards her with groceries in his hands. She makes sound like she was trying to hide me without him knowing. She was good too.........You wanna hear about this, because it will get too graphical.........I'll take it as a no." William is still waiting for him to speak.

(Just so you know, it's easier for someone to respond if you only ask one question at a time than just assume they're giving the silent treatment. Nyght does respond.)
Nyght had mainly ignored the newcomer, he wasn't much of a talker. This new guy seemed to be quite the chatterbox in comparison. When asked if he had seen someone or if the person buried in front of him was his father, he had been given no time to make an answer.
Nyght closed his eyes for a second and reopened them. His voice was deep and rich as he spoke.
"I've seen no one around here but the townspeople. This man is my father, twelve years gone by now. And excuse the bluntness, but I care little for pranks of any kind. Is there anything else you wanted?"

William was proud to hear an answer from the guy. He responds, "Yeah, how does the Gym Battles work here? I came from Kanto and I can't find any Gyms besides the ones you work out in." His voice dropped a little from what he heard. He took another look at the stone then looked back at the guy.
I wait for the answer as I fight back the tears of how it feels to lose a father.
(sorry for what I did. It wont happen ever again, I promise)

(I don't mean to sound rude, but did you just make Nyght speak for him?)

(I agree with Seth. William, as part of the rules you cannot control another character's for them; it completely goes against the idea of a role play and, well, it's quite rude. Please alter your post )

(it's fine, now you know ) "Gyms here are not set in buildings like the other regions. Gym Leaders wander around, you have to find them and challenge them. There are five total." Nyght faced him and could see the sadness. "You understand what loss means, don't you." It sounded like a question but was more of a sympathetic statement.

I spoke, but things were scratchy. I spoke clear enough for him to understand. "I lost my dad when I was 6. He was walking me to school and a band of pokemon thieves appeared out of no where. My dad was a pokemon scientist and they wanted his work. Dad wouldn't let them have and they sent pokemon to fight us. Dad had no pokemon. They took him and I was running to catch up with them. When I got to Viridian City, he was on the ground. His work was taken and he was bleeding a lot. I saw him die right in front of me with his last words saying, 'revenge is never...' I didn't know what he meant till I turned 12." I began to tear up. The first tear fell to the ground.
I began to huff the air because of the memory. It was too sad to remember, but I didn't want him to have no answer. I watch my tears fall to the ground then kneeled down to cover my face. I didn't know a visit would sent me back down memory lane, but I wished I could've been there for my dad.
I tried to say something, but my throat felt tied up.

Nyght felt the pangs of sympathy as William confessed his story. When he dropped to his knees, Nyght placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You lost your father at a young age and in a violent way. It's very hard to overcome that. But you're a strong person, I can tell."
Nyght looked back at the gravestone of his own father. "My dad owned this place, and it caught on fire when I was fourteen. Six Pokemon were inside, and he ran in to save them from death. It took his life, but like your father, he died trying to save something important.
"So now it is time to move on. As hard as it is, and no matter how many regrets we can conjure, we must get up and move along the path they would have taken. But if you ever need a father figure, I'm here."
He held out a hand to help lift the newcomer. "I never did introduce myself. My name is Nyght Zasq, ATK Gym Leader."

What he told me was touching. "I never knew what my dad was really protecting: the research or me. I do know that he was wanting them to leave when he tried to save me by hitting the pokemon with his briefcase.
It's nice to meet you Nyght." I gain some happiness and cleared my throat. "I'm William Jennings. My friend Eric Andrews flew here before I did. I find it funny that some people thought I was famous when his sister followed me out of her jet."
I remember that very well, Lauren (Eric's sister) walked from behind me and almost tripped when everyone was shouting for her arrival.
