>>58500947He’s only child of an archaeologist couple in Sinnoh’s Celestic Town. He was trained and expected to follow in their footsteps as an archaeologist and as such had very limited experience battling and socializing while growing up. It was only after a family trip to Jubilife City that he realized how confined he was by his parents. The tall buildings, bustling crowds, and brightly lit nights utterly captivated him. Years later, after saving up money from doing odd jobs around town, he got approval to excuse himself from a planned dig at Mt Coronet to travel to Jubilife for a weeklong solo vacation. However, the true reason for his trip was to catch a flight out of Jubilife’s airport to Lumiose using a ticket he had secretly bought. There was no grand plan or job set up in Kalos. It was pure impulse and naive confidence that he’d find somewhere to live despite being flat broke.
After landing and miraculously “employed” by AZ, he’s spent time flitting about the city, buying expensive clothes, growing out his hair, and exploring new parts of himself with his new Pokemon. He has a penchant for battling, but is terrible at gauging strength and has found himself offering to do oddjobs and favors after losing with no cash to fork over.
