You were the middle child of the Kanto Champion, Steven, and his brother, Mike. Mike was 21, you were 22, and Steven was 23. When you 3 started your pokemon adventure, Steven got a female Charmander he named Miki, Mike got a female Squirtle he named Dewdrop, and you got a male Bulbasaur you named Flowerpot. Whilst Steven got Daisy Oak to be his girlfriend and became Champion but fought Mike for the title, you had lacked behind since you got stuck at Saffron City Gym, making you take more time only for you not to be able to beat Steven! Well one day 7 months after he became Champion, Mike was going on to complete the pokedex. He asked you to trade your Venusaur, Flowerpot, to him, which you agreed to and it went well!...but not so well for Steven..because when Steven (reluctantly) sent over Miki, her neck got snapped in the tube and her pokeball got stuck..sending Steven into immense grief. This caused him to visit her grave every day. It had been one year since the incident, and you had recently come back to your house in Pallet Town from collecting groceries since you were a little more stable than the other two, yeah of course it hurt to see Steven's beloved Charizard die, but it didn't strike you that hard. So here you were, in your bedroom that you didn't share with Steven and Mike since you insisted you were your own room to your mom when you were 6, but your room was across the hallway from them. Steven hadn't come home all night, but Mike told you not to worry. At 1 in the morning, you were watching TV on low volume when you heard the front door open and footsteps come up the stairs..slow..heavy footsteps. The footsteps stopped across the hall by Mike and Steven's room..and were calling for Mike in a low, raspy tone...like Steven's voice but all messed up..
