Ashton Taylor was the kind of kid that often got in trouble.

Probably because they didn't necessarily assign themselves to either gender, and so despite being born male, was often found in the girl's bathroom, depending on the day. Their parents didn't seem to really care either way, never really scolding the child when this happened, despite how frustrated their teachers got. They figured that it wasn't really important, that they should be how they feel like. If on Mondays, they felt like a he, and on Fridays they felt like a she, it was fine. They were wide and excepting of everyone, because that's just how they rolled. Why bother with worrying about labels when there was so much more out there? Exactly.

Ashton, when turning twelve, was given an egg from the family's raichu. Hatching it, Ashton went off on their first pokemon journey - going all the way back to Pallet Town to start it - ready to explore the world. Their parents didn't really care. In fact, many would say that Ashton's parents were down right neglectful - Ashton just figured that their parents trusted them - and maybe that's why they never returned home. Since the age of twelve, they were travelling, never really staying in one place for too long. From Kanto, they went to Johto, Hoenn, Orre - you name it, they've been there.

Ashton ended up staying in Sinnoh, when the other two pieces of their trio were embroiled in Team Galactic. The nineteen year old - at the time - wasn't the most enthusiastic of members, not even joining the team. They just passed along juicy gossip to their trio, and that was that. Of course, until said trio went down in the flames of drama. Personally, Ashton was neutral, but the other two just had a massive fight, and then broke up with each other and then them. With a shrug, Ashton just decided they would leave the region. But they hesitated, and that was just the right thing that someone had been waiting for.

A pretty girl swooped them up, and showed them the ropes in Galactic. Their little thing was on and off up until two months ago, where she ended up dying in an accident. Ashton didn't feel like leaving this time - rather, they joined Team Galactic because you can't spend two years around a Team and just not join. Maybe they weren't sure about the goals - they were just a grunt - but in the end, Ashton figured that rebelling against the system was pretty much par for the course. Who knows, maybe they'd find happiness there again, like they have so often already.

They just drifted along the boat of life anyways, so why not get some purpose?
