PERSONALITY
Calm & Collected - In some of the most tense situations, Oliver tries to keep a clear and leveled head to make the right decisions. He's a logical person, at least he tries to be. Although he may seem relaxed on the outside, his mind is going a thousand miles a minute thinking of various ways to go about the situation. Sometimes he'll get lost in those thoughts and ignore anyone talking to him.
Irritable - He has short nerves, especially when he's working on his research. Oliver likes to study in peace and quiet, and generally be around quiet people or Pokemon. Loud mouths that aren't his close friends tend to get on his nerves. Especially when they get up in his face to try and get his attention.
Passive - Despite his short temper, Oliver never really acts on it. He hates confrontation and tries to avoid it at all costs. He'll quietly hope things get resolved without having to take any action. Which hardly ever happens.
Passionate - He's a passionate person who has a large heart for Pokemon and friends alike. Oliver tries to go above and beyond for his friends when they need help, even if he doesn't receive the same in return. There's also multiple times where he'll pull an all-nighter in an attempt to further his research.
Intelligent - Oliver is a intelligent person. He thinks logically and tries to come out with the best resolution possible, even if it takes hours to figure out. He takes his time and plans out his every move if he can, even if they don't yield the best results, it's better to live and learn in his opinion.
Low Self Esteem - There's a few things Oliver takes pride in, and even then he doesn't consider himself the best at anything. He thinks little of himself and it shows in his speech and actions.
Emotional - He gets very emotionally attached to people and Pokemon alike. He's often told he's a open and transparent book, people can easily read him with no problem. Oliver wears his heart on his sleeve, and sometimes that comes back and bites him in the ass.
BACKGROUND
✦ Born to two scientist parents, Oliver had a good education growing up in Kalos. He hardly saw them, though, as they worked countless hours for their employers. His older sister took care of him during his younger years in Satalune Town. However, once he entered the Pokemon Academy, he was more or less on his own, as his sister also joined his parents in their research. He was independent on his own and excelled academically in school. He was considered the nerd of his class, and attracted the attention of a couple of kids in class for that reason. Some asked for help, while others demanded it, but Oliver soon came to befriend these people. He spent the majority of his school years with the same group.
✦ Growing up, Oliver slowly started to realize what type of employers his parents worked for. He’d often sneak into their home offices, hoping to catch them for a moment before they left for the day. On a few occasions, they left their research and work on the desk. Plus, it didn’t take much for him to guess his parent’s password to their computer, where he found some emails from their employers. They sought knowledge on evolving mankind, and unfortunately it was the exact field his parents specialized in. And from Oliver could tell, they were not “asking” his parents to do anything, but rather threatening them. Initially, it was a shock to him. However, fear and logic soon set in. It was definitely information that they didn’t want him knowing about, probably for his own safety. So he pretended to be blissfully unaware of his parent’s, and sister’s, situation.
✦ Once it was time to graduate from the Pokemon Academy, Oliver and his friends decided to travel together as a group. However, he was secretly tasked with gathering information on traveling Trainers and the Gym Leaders that they’d encounter from his sister. She withheld all information from him, such as why he needed to do it. Oliver felt obligated to his family, especially his sister who took care of him for most of his life. He asked no questions, but he could only assume it was for the organization that employed her. At this time, Oliver was well aware of the organization’s intentions and their plans for evolving mankind, but he felt powerless. In his current position, there wasn’t much he could do but obey.
✦ He journeyed far and wide with his group of friends, who he quickly became attached to. They stuck next to him even after they found out about his intentions after all. It was then that Oliver decided that he was going to follow his own path, and rebelled against his family. It was a no-brainer really. His sister had become someone he didn’t know anymore. The two lost contact through his journey, and her fate was unknown at the time. He assumed he would have to face her later on, as he and his friends decided to fight against the organization and put an end to their research. Even though he still cared deeply for his sister, Oliver was willing to put family bonds aside and fight for himself and his friends.
✦ Along the way, Oliver and his friends encountered a group of wild Pokemon that were guarding a bridge. Their battle with the Diglett and Digtrio below brought the attention of a nearby Aerodactyl. She was wild and aggressive at the time, but after being caught and trained by Oliver himself, she started to grow fond of him. She became a strong member of his team, and stayed with him to the end of his journey. Their bond didn’t form overnight however. She was difficult to train. But after countless battles and a few gym battles won too, she eventually warmed up to him. The two had a strong bond since, she trusts him completely.
✦ After a long and exhausting win, his parents were freed from their obligation to their employers. However, the victory wasn't without casualties. His sister was far less fortunate in the battle, and met an unfortunate end. It was a devastating loss to Oliver and his family, and they took some time to themselves to patch up and recover, both physically and emotionally. There was one particular battle that Oliver wasn’t able to go unharmed in. A fight against the organization and their creation in an underground lab went not according to plan, and he suffered a large scrape on his face. Eventually, it healed well, but it left a noticeable scar on his cheek.
✦ Sometime later, Oliver decided that it was time to continue his own, personal research and traveled to a brand new region. He took one of his trusted Pokemon with him on the journey, leaving the rest in the care of his parents to help around the lab. Hopefully, this time, his journey would be less troublesome.

She's a bit possessive and territorial, and tends to act hostile towards new faces unless Oliver calls her off. Once she knows that Oliver is safe, she acts friendlier towards people and allows them to pet her. She is one of Oliver's most loyal Pokemon and sticks by his side through thick and thin.
