>>55507730Enter Kouji. Just your typical eighteen year old Japanese delinquent with a huge chip on his shoulder. Got expelled halfway through high school after engaging in what the school called "wanton violence", and decided that he was better off doing part-time work to help sustain himself and his younger sister who he was effectively guardian of. You see, Kouji's life has been nothing but rough. His mother was once a famous stuntwoman turned actress in America; dead, after a frenzied Hollywood pokemon flew into a rage and mauled her during a shoot. His father? Never around, too busy gallivanting across the globe as an Interpol agent trying to make the world a better place. Sure Kouji had a chance to accept money from his estranged father, but his pride wouldn't let him, and his sister loved him too much to go be with their dad, so using whatever was in the bank he lived off of what he could and supplemented the rest.
Now, this rough and tumble life story doesn't exactly sound like the sort of person who'd get sent to a top tier military university for the best would-be trainers in the world. And you'd be right to assume that, especially because Kouji HATES pokemon. A carryover grudge from his mother's death. So how the hell does he end up on the island? You see, because the program is meant to measure every possible parameter, there is another big factor besides raw skill or talent that needs to be looked at. Luck. So, the initiative has a special lottery program for a very small select few to try their chance of a lifetime.
So now this begs the question, why would Kouji, who loathes pokemon, even bother at the slim chance of getting? Well, that's where the secret spice comes in—he didn't. Somehow, for some reason, someone put his name into the figurative goblet of fire, and it just so happens... he was among the select few winners who got in.
I can keep going if my writing style isn't cringe and people are still interested. Also pic related, his family.
