Originally born on her family’s estate near Cyllage City in the Kalos Region. Her family was very wealthy, but lacked warmth and love. Not because her parents were bad people, just their jobs kept them away from home most of the time. Her father was a renowned on-the-field- Pokémon researcher, and her mother was a famous Pokémon breeder, known to have breed the Pokémon of Elite Four champions and master coordinators alike As a result she was mostly raised by her grandfather who lived on the family estate. From a young age, Celeste was able to form deep and meaningful friendships and bonds with all kinds Pokémon. Her grandfather attributed this due to her lack of interaction with other children and people, she treats the Pokémon she meets as if they were people, individuals, and befriends them as such.
Her grandfather, a former Ace Trainer and Veteran Competitive Battler, saw massive potential in the young girl due to her ability to form strong bonds with Pokémon, and began teaching her the basis and basics of Pokémon battling. Celeste took the lessons and knowledge in stride. On her tenth birthday she wanted to set out on her Pokémon journey with her best friend/ Pokémon at the time, a wild Riolu she had been friends with ever since she met him in the small forest on their family estate, but much to her disappointment, her parents told her no, for now, and instead her mother gave her a Pokémon egg and told her to take care of it, raise it, and once she understands the full responsibility of having Pokémon, then she will be allowed to go on her quest.
The egg eventually hatched into an Eevee. Celeste named her Sylvia since she had planned on evolving it into a Sylveon, her favorite Eeveeloution. After months with Sylvia, playing, bonding, and having practice battles with her grandfather to train, the day finally came when she would prove to her parents that she is now ready to start on her journey. It was the week of her eleventh birthday when they returned home for their visit, something that she was used to for as long as she could remember.
Celeste showed her parents the progress she had made with Sylvia, her parents were beyond impressed with the progress that Celeste had made and agreed to let her go on her journey. It was their gift to her, in addition once she got the ok to go, her best friend Riolu challenged her and Eevee on the spot to a battle. With her parent’s blessing and her grandfather watching with interest. The battle begun right in the middle of Celeste’s birthday celebration.
The battle was harder than anything Celeste had ever encountered, Sylvia was at a type disadvantage and Riolu was no slouch, showing off his speed, precision, and determination. When the battle had ended, Sylvia stood victorious, standing by sheer will power alone. After the battle Celeste’s grandfather handed her a Pokéball. She looked at Riolu and he nodded back, he was the first Pokémon she would capture.
(More of a summary, still WIP)
From that point on, Celeste began her goal of becoming one of the greatest Pokémon trainers of all time, someone that even League Champions will admire and respect. She would study hard in-between battling, training, and traveling, looking for powerful Pokémon and where to find them. Carefully constructing her team Pokémon one at a time making sure each member of the team fits with the rest. The trust and bond between Pokémon and trainer and Pokémon and Pokémon on her team was incredibly strong.
It took her 6 years to assemble her team, travelling across 7 different regions, spending roughly a year in each training, looking for her desired Pokémon, and challenging the gyms in each region along with any other battling establishments such as the Battle Frontier and Battle Tower whenever available. But she always stayed away from the Elite Four, she heard stories about their skills and power from her grandfather’s stories and from then always wanted to be a champion and she had made it a goal to herself that once she is ready, she will challenge them in succession starting with the Kalos League, once she acquired every badge in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos.
Champion titles earned for this RP: Kalos, Unova, Sinnoh
