History

Pre Debut

Shaun's just an average kid from Sunyshore, born to an Unovan father and a Sinnohan mother. Raised by them, his parents' Eeveelutions Amethyst and Blue Moon, and his godfather, he lived a happy content life, despite how...eventful life could be. He was homeschooled by his mother and Amethyst, who taught him many things, including Monese. On his tenth birthday, he began an apprenticeship with Marshall. As much as he enjoyed helping with the breeding and caregiving, he wanted more in his life. His wish came true on his thirteenth birthday when he receiveda Piplup egg, a Premier Ball, and 5 Poké Balls. After the egg hatched, he made it his goal to train and build a team and enter the Sinnoh Hall of Fame. He came close, but didn't get to challenge Cynthia. Undeterred, he and his team decided a change of scenery was needed and they would return to defeat the Elite Four, so they headed to Alola, where, unbeknownst to them, much lay in store...
