Pokemon Trainer Trevor [Inactive]

Born in Lumiose, Kalos, Trevor lived a remarkably bland life for about eight years, though he would forever treasure what he could remember of them, for a short time after he turned eight, his parents decided that having kids tied them down too much and elected to go on a vacation around the world. Unfortunately, they also decided that this would be more or less a permenant vacation, and suddenly Trevor was sharing the house with his sister and a strange woman, an aunt he didn't know he had. His sister became bitter and angry, recognizing their parents' abandonment for what it was, as she was older and more capable of realizing such a thing. But Trevor adapted to the abandoment in a different way; unable to really fully grasp that his parents and decided they were worth it, desperate to get out of this house and maybe give them an incentive to come home, Trevor became obsessed with the Pokedex and wanting to go on a journey. He thought completing it would prompt his parents to come home to celebrate the accomplishment... and maybe even stay home. Since the aunt knew Sycamore, she got him in contact with the professor, in the hopes of getting rid of the kid for a while, not just for her sake, but for his own. Not wanting the group of children he was giving the Pokedex to to go out on their own, the professor had them get to know each other a little before sending them down to Vaniville to recruit the last child, a reluctant, shy boy named Calem. Even though he was awkward around the others, he got his Pokedex and his opportunity, and set out, eager to grasp at this chance with everything he had in him. Unfortunately, despite his attempts to make memories and fit in, he never felt like he actually belonged in the group, instead hanging around the sidelines with Tierno, a boy who annoyed him to no end despite his guilt about the fact.

Frost Cavern was his major encounter with Team Flare as the group set about trying to take hold of the region. The ordeal was a bit frightening but by this time Trevor was actually hoping for a fight, tired of feeling left out and hoping that maybe being bold would not only allow him to stand out, but also to scare off the thugs taking everything for themselves.  Thanks to his and Calem's efforts, Team Flare left Abomasnow alone. The boy felt a rare sense of pride in accomplishing something so huge, but sadly, he would not be present for when Team Flare made their biggest move in taking the region-- in fact he didn't arrive in Geosenge Town until after Flare had been defeated.  Staring in awe at what was left of the massive weapon, Trevor thanked his lucky stars that it was not his shoulders the region's fate had rested on. Calem was made of sterner stuff than he could ever be. Maybe it was time to just... let it go.

Calem went on to defeat the Elite Four and from there his life descended into hell. Trevor tried to help him hide from the media, but like everyone else, to no avail; eventually Calem dropped off the face of the earth, Trevor distraught at yet another abandonment. Was that just his destiny in life, for others to leave? At least Calem had an excuse... though this comforted him at first, he realized just how huge an accusation this lobbed at his parents. Trevor decided maybe it was just best not to think on it at all.  By now he'd nearly completed the pokedex, but as victory inched nearer, it felt more and more hollow. What was the point if it wouldn't bring his parents home-- the same parents who'd neglected to even send so much as a postcard for his birthday?

He would forever regret not being near Tierno the day the outbreak truly swept the region. It meant another friend whose fate he didn't know, and marked the end of a very brief and unhappy childhood. He feld to Lumiose only to find his apartment building in shambles and his aunt and sister missing. Unable to locate anyone, Trevor gave up looking and focused entirely on survival.  

Maybe he'd find who he wanted to, if he didn't actively search? Perhaps it was time to stop fighting fate and let what would happen, happen.

:leo: Calem: A boy he met through Professor Sycamore; he liked comparing Pokedexes with Calem and though he tried to motivate his losses in their little Pokedex contest to do better, secretly they were swift and heavy blows to his self esteem. Calem barely seemed to be trying, yet he was better at this than Trevor. Could he not be cut out for this after all? Even so, Calem himself was a friendly child and Trevor could not help but be drawn to him, especially as Calem was always kind in his dealings with him. Misses him quite intensely.

:leo: Tierno: A boy he met through Professor Sycamore; Tierno irked him because the other boy got to enjoy setting out to make his dream come true without any stakes. If he failed, he failed and that was it-- if Trevor fails, Mom and Dad don't come home. As a result his irritation leaked through on more than one occasion as he would try to lowkey tell Tierno to shut up.  Thankfully Tierno completely missed the sentiments behind it, perhaps not even understanding Trevor's intent. As it turned out, when the children split up, Trevor followed Tierno around so as not to be completely alone despite not having a whole lot in common with him. He doesn't really like him that much, and feels rather guilty about it.

:leo: Shauna: Met through Professor Sycamore; he felt a little better about Shauna because she was more willing to make the goal of her journey the experiences she'd live rather than battling, which helped validate his own quest a little. She was a little too enthusiastic for his taste, and far too loud, but he holds no ill will towards her.

:leo: Serena: A girl he met through Professor Sycamore, and spent a little time with before their journey started.  He found her intimidating and didn't like to speak directly to her, able to stand her company only when in a group. Feared she would judge his choice of not wanting to be a battler and his habit of being a shadow haunting the sidelines.
