No one really knew where Mr. Andel came from, despite having a ship hailing from Johto. No port nor coast guard ever recalled the massive aircraft carrier vessel in their docks. Yet, the vessel has been sighted off the small region and its neighboring Kanto islands. On the vessel houses a large coliseum like structure and its own community including a Poke Center, shops, restaurants, and even homes. But most notably, the center-most structure, the aforementioned coliseum houses a sizable Pokemon gymn with ancient fossil Pokemon as the prominent theme. Inside, a seemingly wealthy family house regular Pokemon battles and even invite others of notable strength to join in on the competitions.
But this family is far from benevolent. While the competitions seem like a fun escape for the more well trained trainers, it is in fact a ploy to gauge the strongest trainers, in order to either recruit, or eliminate them entirely. All in an attempt to conquer the known world with little resistance in the way once his plan comes to fruition.
Few ever know him other than Mr. Andel. An enigmatic man, with a serious, stern nature. He enjoys Pokemon battles to their fullest, as he is often seen fighting or training with his ancient beasts, or his beloved dark types such as his two Houndooms, or Umbreon. Outside of his position as a self proclaimed "Gym Leader" Mr. Andel is sometimes seen in the field performing various bouts of research on lands, as if he is comparing them to some unknown country, but should an outsider ask about his research he either shrugs it off or ignores the question entirely.
