Straw is a 16 year old trainer from Saffron City, Kanto. He is formerly a Pokemon ranger, but quit due to feeling unable to do his job after being mauled by a Tyranitar and watching one of his Pokemon die. He then went on a Pokemon journey at the commendation of his parents. Since then, he has beaten the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova Pokemon Leagues. He spent 3 years as a Pokemon Ranger after turning 10(though 1 was spent in training), and has been a Pokemon trainer since leaving his ranger job.
The Beginning
Straw was born in Saffron City. His father works at Silph Co., while his mother works in the Magnet Train station. Although he lived near several other children, he preferred to play with some of the local Pokemon. These Pokemon included a small family of Eevee, a stray Eevee that lived around the train station, and a Ditto who was abandoned by its trainer. The stray Eevee became known as Crescent, Straw's Umbreon, and the Eevee family's daughter became known as Aurora, Straw's Espeon. Straw witnessed Ditto being taken by Team Rocket, but was unable to do anything about it. He has not see him since. Straw's family eventually adopted Aurora's family, as well as Crescent's sister, Ariel, who was found inside Silph Co. Straw's sister Nicole took Ariel as her first Pokemon. A few months after Straw's 10th birthday, he set out for Almia and the Ranger Academy. After completing training, Straw received Envy, a Nincada at the time, as a gift from his father. He soon bonded with Envy just as he did with Aurora and Crescent. However, two years later Straw ended up in Tyranitar territory, the Tyranitar killed Envy, and severely injured Straw. Straw recovered, but was left with a fear Tyranitar. As a result, Straw quit his job as a Pokemon Ranger, being physically and emotionally weakened by the attack.
