Dynamo [Male Scizor]: Dynamo was one of Anthony's first Pokémon, being a gift from his father, and has been with his trainer before he joined Team Rocket. Unlike the others on his trainer's team, he tends to be more honorable as if he was following a code. Still, the Pincer Pokémon is deeply loyal to his trainer, and despite his crimes, will give his life to protect him. Anthony considers Dynamo to be his only true friend of his Pokémon due to their history together. Ability: Swarm Moves: X-Scissor, Iron Defense, Slash, Fury Cutter, Metal Claw, Agility, Bullet Punch, Quick Attack Flint [Male Golem]: Flint was caught by Anthony during his time as an enforcer of Team Rocket. He is all brawn and no brain, only thinking of crushing his opponent. The Megaton Pokémon is merciless in battle, not holding back regardless of who his opponent is. He is also known to have a one-sided rivalry with Crash. Anthony knows that Flint is very loyal, following his orders no matter what, and usually starts off with him first in a battle. Ability: Sturdy Moves: Double-Edge, Earthquake, Smack Down, Rock Throw, Rock Blast, Steamroller, Tackle Crash [Male Rhydon]: Crash was caught by Anthony during his time as an enforcer of Team Rocket. While being both strong and intelligent, but hates to follow orders, preferring to follow his own instincts. The Drill Pokémon tends to hold back when fighting weaker opponents and goes all out when fighting a stronger opponent. He does not care much about Flint or his rivalry. Despite Crash not being obedient all the time, Anthony knows that when a big fight comes up, the Drill Pokémon will be in the fight. Ability: Rock Head Moves: Drill Run, Hammer Arm, Take Down, Chip Away, Bulldoze, Stomp, Horn Drill Bomber [Electrode]: Bomber was caught by Anthony during his time as an enforcer of Team Rocket. Although its battling skills are lacking compared to the rest of the team, it never holds back during a fight. Yet, the reason for this is because the Ball Pokémon takes pleasure in the destruction that it causes and tends to fight recklessly. Anthony does not like the attention that Bomber causes but is not hesitant to pull it out when it comes down to fight. Ability: Static Moves: Self-Destruct, Rollout, Charge Beam, Sonic Boom, Spark, Tackle Scourge [Male Houndoom]: Scourge was caught by Anthony during his time spent as an operative in Johto. He is a fierce opponent, taking on a mindset of a hunter. Because of this, the Dark Pokémon will always go in for the finish and hates it when his opponent escapes. Anthony tends to trust Scourge over some of his other Pokémon due to his more natural instincts. Ability: Early Bird Moves: Crunch, Flamethrower, Feint Attack, Fire Fang, Howl, Thunder Fang, Bite Morgana [Female Murkrow]: Morgana was caught by Anthony during his time spent as an operative in Johto. She is known to be incredibly weak and only fights when necessary. The Darkness Pokémon is very greedy and tries to snatch away shiny objects or anything that she finds valuable. Anthony uses Morgana as a lookout and tends to keep her out of her Poké Ball for such a purpose. Ability: Insomnia Moves: Wing Attack, Haze, Peck Attack, Astonish, Pursuit

Anthony stands at five feet and eleven inches tall and weighs around 146 pounds with a slim figure. He has jet black that is kept short with a stubble beard. His hazel eyes are usually covered by a pair of shades to help conceal his identity. He has some muscles, but does not bother with building them up, focusing on being swift than strong.
Anthony usually wears a large, black overcoat that covers him from his shoulders to his ankles. The overcoat was designed with hidden pockets in the interior to contain his Poke Balls and dual pistols. Underneath it he wears a Kevlar vest for protection along with a white undershirt and a pair of jeans. Finally, he wears a pair of combat boots. He is more than willing to change his outfit when on the run however.

Anthony is a drifter and tends to look after himself. Still, when it comes down to it, he is willing to work with others who share his same goals. Although he does not take an interest in killing others, he is more than capable and willing of doing so when required. He is cunning and calculating, able to evade police while looking after himself through a criminal spree for years by going after small targets.
Anthony tends not to trust others, relying on his own skills and instincts. This leads to him distancing himself from others, even those he may work with. He believes that anyone who gets close to him will either try to eliminate him or be harmed in some way. Ultimately, he continues his life of crime because he knows that it is necessary to his survival in this world.

Anthony was born to Severino and Lavinia Lombardi, who worked together in a small shop that the family had owned. However, the shop was unsuccessful and lacked business so the family had poor living conditions. Growing up, Anthony was affected by this as he was forced to help out around the shop sometime after turning 13 to help bring in business. He grew to hate the shop because of his forced employment and sought escape to live his life.
After turning 18, Anthony announced that he would be leaving Viridian City to find his own way in life. His parents did not take the news well and tried hard to convince him to stay. His father went so far as to give him a Scyther he received through trading. Although he did enjoy the companionship of Dynamo, it was not enough to convince the young man to stay. He left his home, trying to find someplace to settle down with a steady job. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he failed, and became a drifter across Kanto.
After two years of drifting across Kanto, Anthony received word that his parents were murdered. Returning to Viridian City, he discovered that they were killed in a robbery gone wrong and that the man responsible was still on the run. The police was making minimal effort to catch him so the young man decided to take matters into his own hands. Even though he held no love for his parents, the desire for revenge burned hot in his heart, prompting him to move forward.
While searching for his parent's killers, Anthony was approached by a representative of Team Rocket who offered him a deal. Team Rocket was willing to help him in his search as long as he joined the criminal syndicate. With no other option, he accepted, and by the next day, he found the location of the thief-turned-killer. Without hesitation, he broke into the apartment and shot the man twice in the chest to end his life. Afterwards, he left to begin his service to Team Rocket.
Anthony now served as a grunt for the criminal syndicate, acting as an enforcer. He caught himself a capable team consisting of Flint, Crash and Bomber to aid him in his missions. For missions, he did whatever he was ordered to do from murder to arson to theft. He had no problems committing these crimes, seeing it as repayment for Team Rocket's aid in his quest for vengeance.
Sometime after turning 25, Anthony was relocated to Johto to help the new leaders of Team Rocket bring Giovanni back to the syndicate. He resided there for three years, capturing Scourge and Morgana as well as evolving Dynamo and Flint, giving him the perfect team. However, his Pokémon and skills were not enough to stop Team Rocket's defeat at the Goldenrod Radio Tower three years later, bringing an end to the syndicate for now. After eight years of service, he saw his debt as repaid and never looked back.
Anthony returned to Kanto, trying to find a new job so that he could live a normal life. Yet, several days after his return, details were released about his criminal background and the police issued a warrant on him. With it now being impossible to settle down as he had planned, the former enforcer returned to his drifter ways, now having the smarts and cunning to evade police detection. He made caches across the region with fake identifications, guns and money for whenever they got too close.
Eventually, Anthony reached the decision that he needed to continue his life of crime in order to get by. He realized that the only way he would be able to have a quiet life was to earn enough money to move far away. With no one wanting to hire a wanted man, the only way to earn that money was to steal it. For the next nine years, Anthony carefully devised cons to get enough money so that one day he could return to a normal and quiet life.

"You don't have to do this, sir," the shopkeeper begged, trying to remain brave. "I need this money. I won't call the cops or anyone if you just leave now."
Anthony gazed upon the elderly shopkeeper, pistol leveled at his chest. The shop was rather small and out of the way, so he knew that no one would walk in during his crime, especially since it was night. Everything was going smoothly but he needed to get going soon. The longer he stayed here, the more likely it was that someone is going to catch him in the act.
The shopkeeper was lying. As soon as Anthony leaves, the man was going to call the cops to report him. He could always evade the cops but it made no sense to leave now. He already had the shopkeeper at gunpoint, he might as well get some money out of it. With his free hand, he slammed his fist onto the counter, causing the man to jump back a little.
"Money, now," Anthony demanded, holding out the palm of his hands towards the man.
The shopkeeper gulped, opening the cash register. He pulled out several stacks of bills and placed them into the criminal's open palm. Anthony pocketed the cash into his overcoat and made his way towards the door. Without another word, he holstered his pistol in one of his hidden pockets and left the store. He did leave a witness alive, but it was a necessary con. He could have killed the man but that would only make the police more eager to catch him. It was time to return to the shadows before the cops arrived at the scene and make his getaway.
