Additional history that happened since the last application (their history at the school before they left, what happened and caused them to return):
When Green returned to the school, he was the Viridian City Gym Leader, had an awesome roster of Pokemon at his side, and he was on top of the world. Well, technically, all three things are still true. He's still the Gym Leader, he's still got awesome Pokemon with him at school, but he's on top of the world for different reasons. See, though he came back to school with a Gym license as if this was his top, he still remained a resentful teenager that had a lot of growing up to do, and a lot of pain to let go of.

When Red Team showed up, he was sure him and his were going to drive them out of town, but over the course of a series of school trips, a confrontation with a Russian couple that put Sasha, Vinnie, and Char in the hospital at the same time, and some unfortunate universe/species swapping, they only got closer. Not really like Green can close his eyes and forget that Sonny helped him call for help after Char was nearly fatally shot in the tail, or the fondness a weaker, alternate universe version of himself felt for a wild version of Vinnie. If there was any theme at all of his time at Smash, it was a new understanding of how people worked.

He felt comfortable living with the other RAs, Kumatora and Zelda, before Bulba even moved in. He worked on repairing that fractured understanding between himself, Mac, and Daisy. He revealed to Char that he had been abandoned like his parents, just like Char has been abandoned by his previous trainer. Jolt decided to attend. Other members of Green's team came and left. Bulba evolved. Bulba fell in love with Vinnie, and came out to the rest of the team. Green was forced to learn how to mediate better, not just as a trainer, but as an adult.

He had many of his own confrontations, as well. He defended Char after Max's unwitting betrayal. Green himself (or, a different version of him) was betrayed by a Team Rocket version of Bulba, and once the smoke cleared, he had to come to terms with that. He had to learn to trust Vinnie with his starter's heart, though being able to trust the Venusaur with his own life after they were kidnapped by a rabid fan together definitely helped. He ran for his life from Groudon, as the orbs had fallen into his possession.

And then, Blue arrived. Not wanting to admit it to himself, Green danced around his feelings towards her for a year or so, finally confessing at that prom, to have his heart broken for the first time since he was a child. A long time would pass between them in an awkward limbo, before finally, she returned his feelings. This was an all new situation for him, and it was better than he could have ever imagined. And as he looked around himself, suddenly he could see so many people that had been through so much over the course of 5 years smiling and laughing with each other. Maybe it was time to let go of some of that pain he'd been carrying around. It was getting a little too heavy for him, anyways.

Personality Changes (ie, some characters grow are are different based on where they are taken from. Please write down any changes in personality compared to the first app):
Green's age is beginning to show. Not that 24 is old, but some sparkle of calmness and maturity is starting to appear in his eyes, where before there was nothing but smugness. Where there was once no room in the spotlight for anyone but him and his Pokemon, now there kind of has to be more, since there are so many other people standing with him. Through the kindness of those he's gotten closer to, it's caused him to be more gentle to others around him. Only to a certain point, though. He's still not afraid to try to administer a verbal smack down to those who he believes deserve it.

In-Character 1st person sample:
Well, it's nice outside, guys. I'm about to go out to the field and just start hitting soccer balls into the goal. Yeah, I said INTO the goal. If someone wants to try and play goalie, be my absolute guest, but prepare to have your work cut out for you.
Come on... You can't play like you're all studying. I'm an RA, I know full well what goes on around here. Pit, are you reading this? If not, someone tell him to get his feathery butt out to the field to play ref.
Ah, alas, normally I would encourage a cheerleader or two, but you must remember ladies, I'm spoken for. And im pretty sure that if she gets involved in this, she's playing for the opposite team.
Let's go, out to the field, pronto. We don't have much more good weather left in the year, you freakin' vampires.

In-Character 3rd person sample:
Green crinkled his nose up in disgust at the sight of it. He had forgotten his lunch in his dorm. He had ten minutes between TA duties in two different classes. And it was three days before Halloween. The thought had been "it's insane to not eat just because of that," but now that he had one of Nancy's home cooked snacks in his hand, it was becoming harder and harder to deny his fear.
What'll it be this time? Scales? Fire breath? Well, been there, done that, he thought, thinking back to his brief time in a Charizard's body. This was just the risk he was going to have to take, because his growling stomach was really starting to bug him. In a way, it was cool. He was like some kind of a daredevil. Right?
Eating open food from this school three days before Halloween. He had to be an idiot.
Well, at least he wouldn't be a hungry idiot. And it did smell good. Down the hatch.
