Tom Simms

Tom Simms is the main protagonist and central focus of Pokemon, Asylum of the Devitory Style!

Pokèmon, Asylum of the Devitory Style!
Acquiring a Pokedex from an acquaintance, Tom Simms leaves Yorin Town on a journey to become the best Pokemon trainer in the world. After adopting a runaway Porygon, Tom collects several more Pokemon and gym badges. Upon arriving in Mega City, Tom teams up with Sabre, a secret agent, to dismantle Team Rocket's operations in the region. Tom is killed by a Rocket-owned Scizor, and brought back as a zombie by the mystic Krystella, eventually returning to life.

After winning eight badges, Tom is turned away from the Pokemon League, having never gotten a trainer's license. Winning a ninth badge to secure his entry into the League, Tom reaches the seventh round of ten before he is assaulted and nearly killed by a fugitive Rocket, Larry. Suffering greatly from the attack, Tom forfeits the eighth round and drops out of the League.

Waiting for the next tournament, Tom discovers a remote island in search of a legendary Pokemon. Mentored by the hermit Sensai, Tom eventually finds and wins the trust of a Moltres that had been hiding on the island. Returning to the League, Tom wins all ten rounds to earn a battle against the League champion, Ivy. After an epic 20-Pokemon battle, Tom emerges as the winner, finally becoming the Pokemon world champion.

Trivia

 * When the first chapter was written, Asylum had not settled on a name for Tom, instead writing a placeholder name "ttt." In the first publishing on ThePokemasters, some instances of "ttt" were left in by mistake.


 * Tom is never seen using his Swinub, Delibird, or Sharpeedo.


 * Despite Asylum's penchant for graphic violence, Tom is one of the only two characters to die in the story.


 * Throughout the story, a romantic relationship between Tom and rival Jen is teased sporadically, and Asylum often considered pairing the two up, but decided on pairing Tom with eventual love interest Claire instead near the end.
