>>37992169Despite his tanned and rugged appearance, Damon actually is a bookworm from an Alolan university studying biology. He never dreamed of going on a journey, battling and rearing pokemon, or doing much other than enjoy the comforts of a lab and examine pokemon mostly through samples and video documentation.
Unfortunately, that's not how you become a good researcher in the pokemon world, and so his university, fed up with his loophole abuse, sidestepping, and doing his damnest to make it by purely on theory and study than practice and exercise, he was given the friendliest, sweetest Eevee they had and promptly drugged out of his lab (I mean what I say) and found himself on a slow boat to Hoenn to begin his incredibly painful pokemon adventure and find out that not everything goes quite according to the books.
