Monty was just your average kid. No one could really tell you much about him, maybe just that he tended to be reserved and cut off from everyone. While he often seemed cold and sometimes even egotistical, he looked up to many people for different skills, traits, physical or otherwise. The few friends he had, he was very loyal to, making sure to always show his gratitude for their companionship.
Monty loved playing video games in his spare time and was quite the completionist. He had just about every pokemon game released to collect all pokemon again and again.
He and his family were on a trip during summer holidays. One of the activitiest they had planed was sightseeing on the mountains, a national park, mostly untouched by human hands. Well, this kiddo decided that it would he a good idea to mess with his parents by getting on the other side of a railing over a fast-flowing river. No big deal, the railing wasn't on the edge of the bridge, right? Well, it was a big deal. Next thing he knew, he was in the water, hiting against stone painfully as he tumbled down with the water...and then...He was laying on grass. He got up, but he couldn't balance on two legs anymore. He had...fur and paws. He panicked, finding that he was now a dog. A dog with pebbles around its neck and brown fur. A pokemon came up to him, finding the confused and lost boy, offering to help. It was a ___.
Monty spent time getting used to the small town the pokemon had brought him to. As usual, he didn't have that many friends, but the pokemon that had found him became a close friend quite quickly and made sure to introduce him to everyone. That pokemon's name, he learned, was Alex. With time he got used to this new form. He got used to all the pokemon that surrounded him. Rescue and exploration teams alike sometimes stopped by either just to shop or stay for longer periods of time and Alex definitely was quite enthusiastic about pointing any such team out to Monty. He grew to admire the toughness of Rock and Steel types, the ferocity and straight-forwardness of Fire and Dragon types, the sneakiness and secretive nature of Dark and Ghost types, etc.
But most of all, he liked the energy of Electric types like his best friend.
Soon enough, Alex came to him with a proposal. "Let's start our own Exploration team!" Monty reluctantly agreed, urged by the promise of something new and exciting beyond the town and the tales and legends Alex couldn't help but spout to try convince him. "We'll call it team Shinning Hearts! If that's okay with you?"
"Of course it's okay with me, Alex!" Monty barked, the pair running off to register as soon as they felt ready.
(Apologies. I couldn't help myself.)
