Home's where the heart is

Ambrose was born in the rich month of May, right in the heart of what was named Hearthome City. Her parents were both born and raised in the soothing Floraroma town, however had decided to settle down in the city life without the hectic bustling in Jubilife. Thus, Hearthome became their ideal city to live and raise a child in. Being raised in Hearthome, she was raised around numerous pokemon both within the city and the city outskirts the majority of her time. Ambrose's parents were both already working under Team Galactic, and they were given a maternity leave when Ambrose herself was born. With the original intention to allow their daughter to grow up like any normal child, they introduced the young child to pokemon contests and battling at an early age. Often, she played with her mother's Lopunny and even got to take care of it's egg, the egg harbouring her own soon to be Buneary. Every day, she would go on a scroll in Amity park with her parents and their family Cleffa, peaceful days before her parents had to go back to working as Spies in Team Galactic. [break][break]

When she grew out of the toddler stage, her parents had to be called for a mission assigned for the both of them. This pulled them from their daughter, causing her to grow rather lonely. Every day after school, she would come home only to find the egg sitting in her room like every other day. Her parents came home late, and they left early. Sometimes, they'd even leave her all by her lonesome. Not having a pokemon yet, she couldn't protect herself at all and so was told not to go out. This continued on and on, and the girl was clearly unamused by such a life. So in her free time, she snuck out of the house to enter the contest hall and watch the contests. She also watched some gym battles, having the time of her life while her parents were gone. When alone at home, and their parents knew that they wouldn't be able to return home, they had their family's Chansey and Mightyana to take care of the house. Mightyana would sometimes go out and take care of her, but otherwise, she would sneak out on her own when Mightyana needed to help her father.[break][break]

But you're not...

Ambrose was walking with Mightyana down the streets of Hearthome, until suddenly, she felt the egg beginning to hatch. With joy clear in her expression, the girl found that it was indeed a Buneary dormant within the egg. The girl quickly rushed home to get to know the little cotton rabbit, growing very close with it and even going as far as to walk in Amity park with it all on her own. When her parents came home, they often found their daughter curled up on her bed with her new little friends - a sight that certainly warmed their hearts. They were happy to see that their daughter was no longer lonely without them, often times leaving behind some items and treats for both her and her little pokemon in the morning when they left for Head Quarters. Even if Ambrose loved her Buneary dearly, and brought her out to watch contests and battles all the time, that doesn't mean that it's healed her from the loneliness caused by her parent's neglect caused by their job. Eventually, Ambrose grew to resent their jobs, even going so far as to tell them to quit so that they could spend more time with the girl. Even if they constantly explained that it was to better the world, she didn't want to understand saying that she just wanted to be happy with her parents at home until she went on a journey herself. Soon enough, the two of them dropped the topic and even went as far as to ignore the child's screaming and crying on the matter. However, they made sure to ask the Buneary to keep an eye on the little girl. [break][break]

Liars

And then she turned 12. At this point, her Buneary evolved into Lopunny and she was attending the local trainer's school. Lopunny often played with her and dressed her up, eventually leading Ambrose to view the rabbit as both a mother and a close friend. Her parents were still barely home, but she now knew that they were just trying to keep themselves free to come home as early as humanly possible. It was also at this time where she learned that they worked for Team Galactic, but she was never able to hate them. See, her parents taught her their beliefs and why they did what they did. They said that it was for pokemon, and for other children like her. They said that if they succeeded, they would be able to come home more often and they would have all the time in the world together. From there on, they also made a promise that they would come home every night and tuck her into bed. True to the promise, they did just that with the help of the three pokemon who stayed home and looked after the house. Everything was fine and dandy.. Until that one day they didn't return. [break][break]

A few days afterwords, she received word from a man with blue hair (much like her parents) while wearing some odd space suit. He came to her house and knocked, with the pre-teen answering curiously. At first, she mistook him for her father because the hair style and outfit was near identical.. But soon stopped when she noticed that stoic expression on his face. He let himself in against the child's will, and then sat on the couch to explain the situation to her. It turns out that her parents were in the middle of a mission. However, while at their station, a group of trainers attacked in an attempt to foil the plot. In the process, her parents were crushed under fallen boulders in Mt. Cornet. They weren't killed, however their injuries are life threatening and it's possible that they may never move again from paralysis. News like this crushed the poor girl to bits, and she needed the rest of the week (or even more) to process what exactly she just heard. [break][break]

They're all the same

From then onwards, she was constantly begging the man to let her see her parents to which he refused. He claimed that they were still in critical condition, and they needed time to themselves. He came over as per her parents' request to keep her company and to make sure that she was healthy. Made him buy food and all, and they promised him that they would pay him back. He explained to the young Ambrose that all the trainers opposing Team Galactic thought the same - constantly antagonizing and bashing down on them when they just wanted to re-create the perfect world in which humans and pokemon can live in harmony. Raised under her parents' ideals and being the naive, narrow-minded child she was, she grew a resentment towards other trainers. Both because of them wanting to antagonize and crush Team Galactic's ideals, and because they were also the ones who almost put her parents into permanent retirement. Then he.. Kind of started influencing her. See, her parents only wanted her to support Team Galactic. They didn't want her to actually join them knowing the dangers that it could pose to her otherwise normal life. Instead, this man tried to manipulate her into joining when she reached that age. Worst part? He succeeded. [break][break]

Galactic Grunt

Finally turning 15, the girl was able to become a pokemon trainer. After reaching that age however, she joined Team Galactic as a grunt and was given two pokemon, both in their baby forms. Lopunny herself had.. Well, she stayed behind in Hearthome city. As much as she would have loved to come to aid Ambrose, she stayed home and took care of her parents with the now evolved Blissey. There were huge changes in her personality from the influence, but nevertheless, she listened. As time went on however, her faith in Team Galactic wavered. Sure, she loved the fact that so many followed in her ideals and everyone was generally nice to each other. But she had seen what some had done, and she sometimes even questioned why. In the end, she stayed loyal, obedient, and blind. Which brings us to today.
