Appearance: Zamboni is a little and fast young man with a puckish smirk always fixed on his face. He wears a purple cloak pinned with a brooch that takes off when he has to move quickly for a battle or run away. Zamboni doesn’t like to walk very much, so he’ll be probably carried around by his bodyguard Jenna. He has an unpleasant high pitch voice and a funny annoying laugh.
Zamboni always wears black sunglasses because he’s blind. His other senses are very much developed, especially hearing. Continuously emitting ultrasound he can "see" objects and people around him. Being less focused on the perception of external reality he has developed his thinking and memory, which helps him to understand the situation he is in without the need to see. When Zamboni is on the floor the vibrations in the ground it makes him understand if someone is moving and in which direction. His sense of smell is so developed that he can smell blood even from kilometers away. The real deficiency are that he can’t see the colors (but knows them since he hasn’t always been blind) and that can only read Braille. Zamboni doesn’t want people to know that he’s incapable of seeing mainly because people wouldn’t fear him or worse feels pity for him since he’s a criminal. So he always keeps the glasses and he’s so relaxed and confident that no one would say that he’s blind.
Personality: Zamboni, as a criminal, combines the savvy skills of a pro thief with the razzmatazz of a born entertainer. He’s a hyperactive person and will probably annoy people with stupid nicknames and bad puns, and if someone has something with some economic value he’ll just try to steal it without thinking twice. Zamboni doesn’t like to take risks with battles and he’ll just make his bodyguard Jenna fight for him instead. When in the company of his brother, he is a little quieter and well behaved.

Battle Style: Zamboni usually doesn’t fight, since he has a ginormous bodyguard who will gladly do it at his place; but if he’s forced to or if he finds a weak foe and wants to have fun he’ll attack with fast and multiple moves. On the other hand he’s not very resistant and can’t endures attacks for too long, so he will probably try to defend himself or fly away before being beaten up. Zamboni likes to use many different tricks to confuse his foe with moves like Substitute, Double Team or Haze.

Background:
Zamboni was born in the resort area in Sinnoh exactly seven minutes before his twin brother Leucer. His parents were the champions of the Sinnoh league and they all lived together in a nice villa with their teammates and trainer.
As a Zubat he was born completely blind. He grew up learning how to live normally without any need to see, being able to use ultrasound as eyes. He’s always been a hyperactive person so he loved to play and explore the surroundings with his brother. Since there weren’t other kids in the area Leucer and Zamboni were companies to each other, thus establishing a strong bond.
Their parents were often away on business, so they were raised by their uncle Nocturne, who, among other things, was a thief who had the brilliant idea to teach them how to steal, cheat, lie and everything that they needed to know to make them his assistants. Zamboni really liked the stealing lessons and with his dexterity he was naturally talented for theft; he used to skive off the etiquette lessons that their mother had imposed to both Leucer and him just to stick with his uncle to learn more about the fine art of theft.
When they were two teenagers and they evolved in Golbats, Zamboni and Leucer gained the ability to see, but it was a traumatizing occurrence for them. Being able to see all of the sudden colors, movements and light was a real shock. They had to wear dark glasses and stay locked up at home for months. For an easily bored person like Zamboni it was a torture, the days were all the same and seemed to never pass. He tried to find a way to distract himself, practicing to pick locks, being taught to read by his brother, or with any other activity he could found, but eventually he got weary of everything. Also being a Golbat he felt the need to drink a lot blood every day, and the blood packets that his father brought never satisfied his appetite.
When they finally got used to sight, Zamboni had a great desire of movement and to cause some troubles around, so for their fifteenth birthday Zamboni and Leucer asked for permission to go and explore the region on their own. Given that for their parents were good and mature boys, they agreed. They arrived in Sinnoh and began to travel to the different cities, and strangely, wherever they passed, objects and money began to disappear to the people. The two brothers were too skilled to get caught, and most were known as the children of the champions, who were honest and working people, so anyone would have ever suspected of them.
Arrived in Celestic town they learned that in the Celestic Town Historical Research Center were exhibited the Adamant and Lustrous Orb, so they decided to organize a big hit to test their skills. They worked out a plan to perfection and managed to steal them without major problems, although well protected. They were so happy and satisfied with their success that they evolved in Crobats. Returning home at the Resort Area, they decided to donate them to their dear uncle without him knowing about it, so he was discovered and arrested for burglary of national property (although for the first time in his life he actually was innocent).
With the second evolution, they had become even more agile and silent, and at that time, with their developed senses, improved skills and knowledge and the experience gained, they had become infallible thieves, but the Resort Area was beginning to be too small for them. They decided to leave for some distant region, where to begin a career as professional thieves, where nobody would have recognized them as the children of the champions anymore. Before leaving, they wanted to do something nice for their uncle as a repayment for all his teaching (and to make up for the fact that he was arrested because of them), and since he had a large collection of gems, stones and rocks but he missed a Magma Stone, they decided to go to Stark Mountain and steal it to Heatran for him.
They went into the deepest meanders of the mountain, the environment was getting warmer and soon arrived in the chamber where there was the Magma Stone, surrounded by a river of lava. Everything seemed quiet, so they decided to act without hesitation to get away quickly with the loot.
<I told you it was a great idea!> Zamboni said cheerfully taking the Magma Stone. As soon as he pronounced these words the air itself seemed to catch fire, and a powerful metallic voice echoed across the room. <Who dares steal to the mighty Heatran?> the two rushed to the exit, but the earth shook violently, causing a landslide that blocked the exit.
A huge monstrous woman stepped in front of them. She was wearing a heavy armor, and some parts of her body were melted magma. Her face was contorted into a furious expression. They tried to fight her, but Heatran was too protected and strong for them, and she was completely immune to their poison. On the other hand, Heatran, angry from their affront, attacked them fiercely and eventually used a powerful Flash Cannon, completely blinding them again. Almost exhausted and startled by the move, they weren’t anymore able to protect themselves. Heatran would have killed them when Nocturne, who had followed them, came out grinning out of a hole made in the ground and bounced on Heatran, beginning to bite her fiercely. The hard metal armor was like butter for a Sableye like him. Then he used his Mean Look to paralyze her and grabbed his nephews (and stole the Magma Stone since he was there.) furious, Heatran made the volcano erupt to stop them, but the three had already fled through the thick network of tunnels that Nocturne had dug over the years.
Apart from the traumatic experience and returning blind, Zamboni and Leucer had gone well since they were still alive in spite of everything. Fearing to be treated as two poor maimed they decided to hide their blindness by wearing dark glasses. Shortly thereafter they left for Unova, where they formed a team of crooks that is currently active in various criminal acts mostly failing miserably.
