Bio: Thortan was a young trainer who was a rising star in the pokemon Johto league, he even made it to the elite four with his most powerful team. He was unable to defeat Will in the first round and decided to travel the world in order to train him and his pokemon even more to take on the other championships. During his travels he came across the crime syndicate Team Rocket, who targeted him for his powerful pokemon. During the battle his first pokemon Maganium was horribly poisoned by one of the criminals Weezing. He rushed his best friend to a pokemon center, but there was nothing Nurse Joy could do to save the poor Maganium. She died shortly after.

Distraught and heartbroken, Thortan traveled the world learning all he could about status effects, and buffs and debuffs. During that time he become the world's foremost expert on the subject, even developing better versions of the status cures that were available in his youth. He eventually found his way to the Alola region where he was offered tenure and a grant towards his research in exchange for teaching the students.
