HIKARI

A child of the rainbow city, one of two siblings, Orchidaceae was one who had all the dreams of a trainer but was not able to fulfill them. It was circumstance that worked against him each time. Initially, he wanted to start a journey and travel around since he was young. Affording all of the things in the world, he was one who had the best of everything due to his family's lifestyle, and so he had the best teachers since he was young to teach him what the academy would before one became of age. How to train Pokemon? He learned this with private tutors. The most effective combinations? He had the research first hand. What berries and poffins were made? He had groundbreaking research and a private prep uniform to dress in as he would spend his time at Celadon Private Schools. Orchid was a child who felt he had everything for the sake of being an effective Pokemon Trainer.[break][break]


Or so he thought...[break][break]


As Orchid thought he was spending his days in his youth to be the best Pokemon Trainer he could be, he did not know that he was actually being trained to be a soldier. From age five and up, he saw little of his parents. His father who had been a simple man that worked in exotic plant delivery and his mother who had been a top researcher in pharmaceuticals were seldom to be around. The young boy would be raised by a penthouse that was a collective of maids and servants. Some of these would have prominent roles in training him themselves and ensuring that he would get his lessons. Orchid was oblivious of it all as a child who spent time thinking that he was to be a trainer some day. There was dissonance, even then, with some of the things the books would teach him from what some of the tutors would say:[break][break]

"Battles had no mercy."[break][break]


"Pokemon were tools."[break][break]


"Losing was not an option!"[break][break]


Harsh words, but Orchid would try to reason in his head why they were harsh. Even when reasoning with his mother how some of these messages were not what they seemed, he was met with confusion as she would agree and insist that her son was "being soft." His father? Perhaps the only comfort he had when his mother and the maids and butlers were absent...and even if they were not, they would only shoot a glance to suppress the comfort the boy would get from the gentle parent. Orchid, in fear, would not say anything in relation to the lessons he was learning from the house staff and his mother as he did not want to add to problems. He had known quite a few things in his heart that were wrong, and in his ear, he knew of his mother's bouts of rage at his submissive father who did not raise a voice about the time she spent working.[break][break]

At those times, was he lonely?[break][break]

Sure I Get Lonely. When I am the Only...

[break][break]

Wanting to keep down the fighting and tension, Orchid said very little. He would be submissive to his parents' plight and would simply go by the teachings of his tutors. If anything, his ideas remained intact about being gentle as he seemed to enjoy the casual activities in his life:his watching of Pokemon League battles, his occasional private school lessons away from the strain at home, and his time he spent protecting his younger sister would allow him to flourish in his own way. Orchidaceae still had dreams of becoming a Pokemon Trainer and leaving home and finding the truth for himself when he would become of age when he had a chance...but that was short met.[break][break]


It was during the uproar of Celadon City, a scandal of the local Game Corner, that Orchidaceae would quickly experiences changes in his day-to-day life. His mother would consistently move around with even his father oblivious to know why. Orchid's private school lessons became more frequent and private tutors were more numerous with each move. His life became hectic as he lost stability of having constant friends due to his family's chaos. Arguments came worse as Orchid's father would question adamantly his wife's activity and work, only to be met with anger as they both could not be quiet. She herself insisted that her job funded them more than his ever would, and he desired stability for Orchid's sake. With little to settle on, it was inevitable what would come of it all: Orchid's depression would worsen as his family was torn into two.[break][break]


Orchid was to live with his mother as his sister would be in the care of his father. It was perhaps one of his most disparaging sacrifice as he insisted that things be this way; sensing that things would not change in his mother's home. His father would stay and live in Kanto, while his mother, would up and move to Johto insisting that she "needed space" for the sake of her research away from her father's "foolishness." Thus, Orchid would spend his time in Ecruteak City, a place that his mother rooted herself in. But, Orchid was still young, and oblivious of everything around him. He still lived a life with his mother where he would consistently be followed like a Prince would be: under the eyes of her staff and swayed from any danger: whether it be from the world's physical threats or ideas of what Pokemon battling should be.[break][break]


To say the least, Orchid would not start to piece things together when a certain organization would be revived and induce its hectic reign once again. It would be the same time Orchid's training would be seen to be put to use among youth like himself like a soldier on reserve. His body was equipped with the insignia uniforms that would be representation of Team Rocket, revealing then his mother's role as not just as a maternal parent, but a head researcher that had been using her pharmaceuticals for the purpose of Team Rocket's experiments and his father's access to exotic plants for the sake of further her endeavors. The house's staff were grunts that would lead him on missions and furthering goals while his mother's satisfaction would come from knowing he had not "messed up" or introduced his sentimental ideas into working for the organization.[break][break]


However long that would last, Orchid was subjected to Team Rocket's goals, until once again they were overthrown by certain "heroes." Some of the members were arrested, including that of his mother, and Orchid would have to answer for his crimes even if he was a youth pulled into it with little to no choice. A youth with a juvenile record, Orchid still believed his life to be over. He did not want to face his father again after what he had done under his mother's direction. He believed he would be a terrible sight for his little sister to see! Orchid would toss himself into a depression and believed himself best be detained than anything else.[break][break]


However, with Team Rocket's infrastructure crumbling, the remains would be incorporated into a new organization...and with this cutthroat organization, he would be swept into a chaos like a new storm.[break][break]


Orchidaceae would be found from his solitude among other youthful former Team Rocket members by this organization. Unfortunately, with his training and his knowledge given to him by his mother who pampered him, invested in him, saw to him that he learned all of her knowledge and training; he would be a resource that could not be ignored! Even if he desired to not be a part of it, that he would be useless, these people knew a lie and were cunning unlike Team Rocket, and thus would purpose that he would cooperate lest they made sure the Rainbow City burned instead of be suffocated by their hold.[break][break]


Orchidaceae had fond memories of Celadon City. He still considered it home even when he was detained and kept in Johto, and he feared for the rest of his family be found. Just seeing how this organization would deal with civilians who were simply prison guards, he had enough fear and dread within him to think that they were not kidding. Thus, Orchidaceae would agree to their terms while setting some for himself: the desire to structure his own syndicate and research department of this frightening new organization and to be stationed back in Kanto Region.[break][break]


Thus, he would be a part of this frightening new organization: The Cruor.[break][break]


Orchidaceae's plan coincided with the job he was given, the subjugation of the central parts of Kanto. His goal was to place Celadon City, under his position, under his control for his own purposes. Silent he would do so while attempting to establish a division in what was formerly the Celadon City Game Corner. Here, this is where the Cruor would plan to have the Grass-Type trainer have his wicked flower bloom.[break][break]
