You picked up a small, black book and flicked through it curiously, your thoughts running away as you did so. How did two young boys become the protectors of a region riddled with crime? How exactly did the youngest learn what the pokemon of the world were saying? Why was he punished for doing so? What secrets of the past do they and their pokemon hide behind cheerful smiles and excellently carved masks? Perhaps, just perhaps, this small, black book in your hands hold all the answers.


(Ello! This is going to be the backstories for my two main pokemon trainers Robert and Jamie Cornwall and their pokemon. Some of these backstories are going to be a tad bit dark and I will give you a warning for when that happens in each chapter. Also feel free to leave CONSTRUCTIVE comments if you so please.)

Title: The Beginning

June 8th, 1999, 7PM.

A young man in his early twenties was staring out a window in the waiting room of the hospital in Jubilife City, Sinnoh. If one was to look at him you would believe this young man was perfectly calm which was not really the case. Earlier that day his wife of three years had gone into labor with their first child. Now to many, this would be a cause for celebration but not this time around as the wife went into labor three months too early. His mind was turning with the different possibilities when the doctor walked out.

"Family of Venus Cornwall?" The doctor called out causing the man to turn and look at him.

"That would be me." The man replied in a slightly gruff voice. "I'm her husband, Cyrus Cornwall."

"Mister Cornwall you may wish to sit down for this news." The Doctor stated.

"I am find standing," Cyrus responded causing the doctor to nod.

"I wish to be the first to congratulate you on a set of twin boys." The doctor started before getting interrupted by Cyrus.

"Wait, twins? We were told we would be only having one child."

"Yes, it seems as though the oldest was hiding the younger one."

"I see, and my wife?" Cyrus asked causing the young doctor to sigh. This was the part that he always hated.

"There were complications Mister Cornwall. We could only save either the youngest twin or your wife. Your wife picked to save the child. I'm sorry for your lost." Cyrus swallowed thickly at the news and ran his long skinny fingers through his pale blue hair. "Mister Cornwall, we would like to keep the twins here for observation."

"Alright. Have they been named yet?"

"No. Do you know what you wish to name them?" Cyrus nodded.

"The oldest shall be named Robert Matthew Cornwall. The youngest will be named James Glen Cornwall."
