Backfire

My name's Backfire. I'm a male Cyndaquil currently travelling with my trainer, Marcus (which is short for Marcellus). I usually tend to be a pretty nice guy. I usually don't get angry, but when I do, I go all out. I'm also rather emotional and I overreact a lot. I am currently in a relationship with the love of my life, Ralts.

History

I began life as an egg that Professor Elm discovered abandoned in the woods. The first four years of my life were spent in Professor Elm's lab, eagerly awaiting the day when I would finally be old enough to be chosen by a trainer that I would go with on a Pokemon adventure. With me in the lab were Chikorita, the creepy stalker who was always making advances toward me, much to my dismay, and Totodile, the stupid one who would try to eat anything, including me! There was also Professor Elm, who had a good heart but was also sort of a pervert (he studied Pokemon breeding for pete's sake!) and a nerd. Anyway, after four years, I was finally old enough to go on a Pokemon journey with a trainer! The three trainers were Jasmine, the clingy weird girl, and Leeroy, the kid who looks really smart but is actually very stupid, and Marcus, the sixteen year old with a great sense of justice and a good heart. Marcus was given the privledge to go first, but Jasmine pushed in front of him and chose me, much to my dismay. However, just before she left the lab with me, Marcus spoke up, saying that he wanted me instead, and that since he was supposed to go first, I was rightfully his! After some consideration, Professor Oak decided that he was right and gave me to Marcus! Quickly after that, Marcus, his family, and I all boarded a plane to Unova, where his family was moving. On the plane, I made a good friend in a Wooper, who was on the plane to escape his old life with his abusive ex-trainer. I offered for him to join Marcus's team, but he declined. We landed in Mistralton City and moved into Marcus's family's new home in Nuvema Town, where Marcus and I relaxed for a day. While we were relaxing at his home, we recieved a pleasant surprise when we found Wooper at the front door asking to join Marcus's team! He said that he had reconsidered, and had stowed away on buses all the way from Mistralton to reach us! Marcus accepted, of course, and Wooper became a part of the team! The next day, Marcus, Wooper, and I left his home to finally begin our Pokemon journey! We made our way to Accumula Town. While we were there, we breifly returned to Route 1, where Marcus caught the clumsy, overly orderly,  motherly Audino. We spent the night in Accumula. The next day I noticed a trash can moving. Upon inspection, I found a Ralts that was horriffically skinny and looked like she had been beaten! We rushed her to the Pokemon Center, where she underwent treatment. Thankfully, she survived, and she joined our team! She told us that she had been abused by her trainer, who had eventually left her in that trash can to die! After giving it a few days to recover, we were finally off again! By this point, I had developed a huge crush on Ralts, and so had Wooper, who kept making advances toward her which involved him saying some very dirty stuff to her. She did not like this at all, and began to hurt Wooper every time he flirted with her, much to my amusement. We moved on to Striaton City. By this point, Ralts and I had become very good friends, and eventually, I built up the courage to confess to Ralts my love for her, which I assumed she did not yet know about since she had told us that her emotion-sensing horns were broken. However, upon my confession, she revealed that she had been lying about her horns, and that she had known all along! However, she said that she didn't mind since she loved me back! I was incredibly happy. However, at this point, we were just friends who happened to be in love, and were not actually dating. So I, after some hesitation, finally built up the courage to ask her out. However, to my surprise, she beat me to it and asked ME out! She suggested a simple walk through the woods, which I agreed to. And so, on that same day, Ralts and I left for our walk in the woods. Things went well at first, but soon we ran into some poachers. After a failed attempt to run, we were surrounded and left with no other way out but to fight! But before I had a chance to get more than one or two hits in, Ralts had defeated them all! It was over in a minute! I noticed a burning hatred in Ralts's eyes. I decided I would ask her about later. The rest of our date went well, and we returned to where Marcus, Wooper, and Audino were staying. The next day, I made an attempt at battling gym leader Cress at the Striaton Gym, though I was defeated. I am currently in Striaton City, preparing for my rematch with Cress.
