Robert was born in Lavender Town. He got his Pokemon license at age 10 and at age 11, he caught his very first Pokemon in the Town's Haunted Pokemon Tower - a Gastly. Over the next five years, he attended school. He didn't go to some kind of Pokemon academy, but an actual school with a wide variety of subjects, where Pokemon were just a chapter in Biology class. By age 16, he graduated from school and wanted to set out on a Pokemon Journey with his first Pokemon, who was now a Haunter, and a Cubone his mother gave him. On his Pokemon Journey, he met his girlfriend Rilli, who traveled with him, helping him out, and he caught a variety of Pokemon. Towards the end of his Pokemon Journey, he decided to create the Diversity Gym. After earning his Eighth Badge, he went back to Lavender Town with Rilli and with some help from the Pokemon League and his mentor, Mr. Fuji, his dream of being the Gym Leader of Lavender Town's very first Pokemon Gym was realized. |
