[i]"What's your story?"[/i]

Ross turned to look at his Machoke who was acting innocent once again which made Ross think he had been making...'the face' behind his back. He gave it a warning look before turning to look back at Tinder and he smiled at her while nervously looking at Garchomp then back at Tinder again. "Well, Like I said I'm from Kanto originally." He said as he thought back to his childhood and the smile faded after a moment.

"I left my family around the age of seventeen to become a traveling trainer. Didn't have the best relationship with my family mind you." He said quietly as he thought back. "But even though we didn't have a good relationship I wouldn't have wished what happened on them to anyone. You see, back in Kanto we have our own criminal problems. The biggest and most feared crime organization was called Team Rocket. They were almost as bad as Cipher before someone managed to take them down but before they were taken down they caused their fair share of problems."

Ross looked down at the ground for a moment as his Machoke patted him on the back and his Ryhorn nudged his leg slightly. They knew this was difficult for him to talk about. "I came back about two weeks later to try and talk to my family only to find the house pretty much destroyed and a couple of police officers carrying body bags out of the wreckage. By this time I was kind of in shock and didn't notice that my brother's Ryhorn had barely survived the attack. I eventually snapped out of it at the Police station and after thinking for awhile I decided to leave Kanto with Ryhorn here. We eventually made our way to Orre and we've been here ever since."

"What about you? How did you end up in Orre?" He asked.

[i]"Cipher took a lot of them hostage a while back so the police would know not to mess with 'em. I've been looking for leads for a bit now, trying to find out where they might be being held, but no luck. I'm not even sure if they're alive..."[/i]

"We've all lost someone to Cipher." Velis said quietly. "I lost my entire family to them in one night including my sister. They killed my parents and abducted most of the Pokemon at the house. My sister was a fighter. She and her Pokemon put up a great fight before Cipher managed to knock out her Pokemon and then took her along with the Pokemon from the house. The only two Pokemon left at the house were these two and they were badly wounded. After running around for a bit I managed to smuggle both myself and these two into the Under and hid out there."

Velis patted Justine on the back and smiled. "I'm sure that eventually you'll find out what happened to your Dad. And I really hope that he's okay." She said quietly. "You ever need to talk though, I'm here."
