Gavroche

Gavroche is Mitchell Rhodes' Raticate. As a Rattata, he was the first Pokemon Mitchell caught.

Appearance

His current appearance is one common to Kantonian-region Raticate, despite being born and raised in Unova.

Personality/Bio

Gav is cheerful, extroverted, and very cunning for his age. He was separated from his family at an early age, and he only managed to survive life in Castelia's streets and sewers by scavenging for food and seizing whatever opportunities he could. The presence of a human that got lost in the sewers was one such opportunity, which he used by guiding the human to the surface in exchange for treats. One thing led to another, however, and Gav ended up allowing himself to become the human's starter Pokemon. If anyone asked him why, he'd say he did it to get free food and shelter, but he'd admit to himself that this human might just become something he never really had before: a friend.
