Bio
His father had seemingly abandoned them and he didn't get to learn much about them.

His mother was a brilliant professor who was not so brilliant with money, landing herself into deep debt. She later started reeling in big paychecks after gaining her dazzling expertise and acclaim, but her pile of debt was still quite large. The two would often travel to other regions for her research, rarely staying for long in one place. She was particularly fascinated with dragon types and had a talent for handling them.

He would assist her in her research, trying his best to reach her high expectations, and sometimes went out to battle other pokemon trainers they encountered along the way.

Later, he put his journey as a pokemon trainer on a semi-pause, when his mother suddenly disappeared. He began focusing more on his studies while making her debt payments while she was gone, hoping she would be found soon. He was studying biology and was thinking about joining his mother's ranks.

Sorry i was gone for a bit there, I was on a short trip The voice from your dreams echoes in your head The past is being tampered with... you must bring peace and save the future As your eyes flutter open, you're met with a curious bulbasaur examining you from close up, a cautious litten pacing a circle around you, watching to see what you'd do next, and a timid mudkip, darting from place to place as it observed you. You were still in the pajamas you were wearing last night, and you could spot your phone nearby, except it looked... different. You could spot your phone on the ground not far away from you, it's usual color gone, and instead it was a white color, with some golden attachment on the back... that was your phone, right? The three pokemon all looked up from examining you as you heard a voice getting closer. "Bulbasaaauuur, Muuudkiiiip, Liiitteeeen, come baaaack!" A man called out, his voice getting closer until it suddenly stopped. "Oh stars, is that a person...? Hey! are you alright?!" A man asked as he ran to your side, standing over you as you laid on the ground, just becoming aware of your surroundings

"Mm, I'm fine, no need to worry..."
He slowly sat up so as not to frighten the shy mudkip or the cautious litten. "Hello there, little bulb..." He smiled at the little pokemon before redirecting his attention to the stranger. "Ah, sorry for you worrying there. You haven't seen an abra or her scheming trainer anywhere, have you? I-"
Now that he was standing he realized he recognized nothing. There were no features of his campus or anything of his hometown in the distance. Far from that abra's teleporting capabilities... Had a pokemon actually spoken to him in his dream and somehow sent him here? Speaking in people's dreams wasn't so far-fetched, but a pokemon being able to time travel was something of myth or legend, as far as he remembers. (And really, why him of all people?)
"Um, where exactly am I?"

((Oh, okay! Thanks for telling me

"abra?" The man took a notebook out from his cloak, flipping through a few pages. "Ah! Abra... hmm... no, we haven't seen one I'm afraid... why, are you searching for one?" He asked, taking in your appearance. "Hmm, pardon me, but you're dressed rather oddly- not in a bad way of course, just... I've never seen clothes like that... I don't recall seeing you around before. Where exactly are you from? Or are perhaps you a native of this region?"

He blinked at him with his jammies that have cartoonishly drawn Tyrantrum and Aurorus roaming around his garments. "Um. Hoenn," he said, not very descriptively. He tilted his head at the notebook the man flipped through. They do not have a pokedex here...? He couldn't have actually been sent back in time to fix things Let's not think about that too much right now.

"Someone I know likes to play pranks on me and sometimes does their charming... practical jokes with their abra. Teleporting me to random places at random and often inconvenient times. Like trees or other buildings while I'm going to work." He seethed for a moment before he sighed. If he really had been sent to ancient Unova, the man probably doesn't really understand what he's saying. Does he even know abra can teleport? "I don't think this was their work this time though. So no need to find an abra."

He pets the bulbasaur. "Um..." How should he approach this? He's mostly in denial of everything and he's only been a couple minutes in. "Could you tell me where the nearest village is?"

(forgot to ask, do in-game stats affect how strong or fast pokemon are? still thinking about how purugly is faster than a jet dragon...)
(sorry if my responses don't make much sense im a bit sleep deprived. my mind is mush)

(I'm gonna go with things being more lore-based than game-mechanically based)

(And don't worry, your responses are perfectly articulate ^u^)



"Hoenn! Ah, little mudkip here originates from that region... What exactly bring you to the Tao region, then. I didn't realize anyone from Hoenn had arrived here" he hummed curiously. The bulbasaur happily accepted the petting, and as the mudkip and litten noticed, they seemed to become more relaxed

"We happen to be quite close to Castella village, I can escort you there, if you'd like" The man offers. "You can call me professor Wisteria, I'm the lead pokemon researcher here in the Tao region"

"Catsella, huh? I'll take you up on that offer, then. Don't want to be in this forest alone..." He picked up his(?) phone and gave a brief look around, hoping that the almighty pokemon from his dreams dropped some of his pokemon along with him. He didn't see any signs of them or his pokeballs so, he guessed he'd have to start over again. "I used to help my mother with her research, so maybe I could be of some help to you."

Wisteria began leading the way through the trees. You don't see any signs of your previous team as you begin to walk through the woods, the professor's three pokemon trailing alonside the two of you.

"It would be wonderful to have a research assistant. Most of the settlers here are too afraid of pokemon, its been hard enough for me and the Plasma expedition team to keep our own pokemon around, much less get any assistance working up close with new and unknown pokemon" he sighed wistfully.

There was a rustle of bushes nearby, and before anyone could react, a liepard leapt from the bushes, growling at the two humans and the pokemon. Wisteria let out a yelp as he jumped out in surprise, pulling his arms in front of him defensively. "Stop! Get back! away!" He shouted at the wild pokemon. The three pokemon at the professor's side, immediately darted back, growling defensively at the larger pokemon, but unsure of what actions to take themselves.

Hisao's first reaction was to bolt - there was no way the three tiny pokemon could fend against the liepard. But when Wisteria started shouting at it, some of his rationality came to him. There was no way any of them could outspeed it.
He looked at the pokemon dubiously before snapping off a branch. "Litten, could you set some of it on fire? Mudkip, can you soak the other half so I don't burn myself?" He hoped he could wave a flaming branch and it would maybe scare the wild pokemon.
