Travis is just a local thug in Castelia city. He's first pokemon is a Darumaka he caught on route 4. He also caught a Mandibuzz on the same route, that he caught with an Hyper ball he stole to a rich guy who was walking in the wrong neighborhood. He also stole a pokemon. At first he stole it's pokeball, because it was decorated and thought he could sell it, but he then realized it was a shiny Magikarp, so he decided to keep him to brag about it.
The only badge he has is from his local gym. He does not really care about gym battles, but maybe he'll go on the closest towns to get other badges and steal stuff
