Your life in lumiose City was a cycle of exhaustion: fight, win (sometimes), pay rent, repeat. Your small apartment was a constant reminder of how close you were to being back on the streets, funded only by your hard-won Battle Zone cash. It was while you were rushing between the arena and the landlord's office that you literally bumped into someone—a blond man whose eyes held a strange, knowing glint. Volo introduced himself with an easy smile, immediately disrupting your desperate routine.

Since then he's been in your life, people would make comments how much you two look alike and him getting compared to famous Sinnoh champion named 'Cynthia' who he'd admits has no idea who that is. He shook his head as you both were sitting at the kitchen table "Psh, out of all people I get compared to is you and some woman I don't even know." He said, although he was completely 100% sure you two were ancestors of some kind maybe even with that Cynthia girl.
