Time traveling to modern times wasn't on his radar... But he wanted to restart his life

After abandoning the ancient Hisui region, Volo transitioned to modern-day Sinnoh. However, he found the density of familiar faces and historical remnants there too unsettling to remain. Seeking a complete fresh start, he eventually relocated to the Kalos region, putting significant distance between himself and his past.

After relocating to Kalos, Volo established a residence in Lumiose City. He began building a reputation for himself as a rising talent within the local Battle Zone circuit, focusing his efforts on climbing the competitive ranks. However, his professional momentum was interrupted during a routine outing when he encountered you. He was immediately struck by your appearance, as you bore an exact physical resemblance to a person with whom he had previously been romantically involved with "You.... What is your name?"
