Despite originating from Lumiose City in Kalos, Sean was sheltered for nearly all eighteen years of his life. It was, at first, simply because he was quite shy for a child; he did not wish to participate in games with other his age kids, or fight in mock pokemon battles. None of that seemed to interest him, and his parents would be lying if they said it wasn't worrying.

Once his family managed to purchase a house in Sinnoh as a result of his mother's new job, Sean was expected to shut himself in even more than before. However (and fortunately for his mother and father), the opposite occurred. The boy would find himself taking the occasional walk, admiring his surroundings while encountering the friendliest of pokemon. It resulted in an epiphany of sorts, and only at age thirteen: he realized the world was serene, beautiful. And he wished to see it all.

He still refrained from socializing however, and spent most of his days visiting either the beach near Sandgem town, or Lake Verity. But once he turned 16, a year late on what could have been the start of a new journey, he at least came to see the wonders of battling. It was originally a practice match between his mother and father (what they were practicing for, he was never quite able to discover) that he was allowed to participate in. He stuttered as he commanded his pokemon, fretted when they got injured, almost gave up when he saw they were in pain.

Yet anyone could see the smile set upon their faces, and he decided to do the same.
[break][break]
Is that what people sought after? The exhilaration of battle, overcoming the fear and worry? And is it because of the world's vibrant and colorful surroundings, the new faces and notion of friends, that people chose to explore? It was certainly food for a thought, and he savored every bite...

Until his eighteenth birthday.

His father decided it was time for him to finally leave home, and despite putting up a fight even fiercer than a pokemon battle, it did the teen no good. With the companions he's had since Kalos by his side, a knapsack, and a forced, shaky grin on his pink lips, the boy set out to truly see what else the world had to offer him.
[break][break]
And he stayed oblivious to the twist in his father's smile, and the glint in his mother's eyes.
