Backstory:  Eden grew up in the country, in a small town, on a ranch/farm. His parents were always loving and supportive and urged their son to strive for his dreams and goals. As a child, he was the complete opposite of a social butterfly (as he is now), instead, Eden was very shy and cautious. He liked to spend time helping out his mother and taking care of the pokemon. He did have a few close friends and his younger sister to help pull along for playdates. Even once ascending into his teens, he was still a quiet kid.

At the age of 14, he took a trip to visit some relatives up north in place of his sister (Who had fallen ill at the time).  His Uncle (Maternal side) and Aunt were overjoyed to have him, and to have help with their pokemon research. Despite Eden's lack of confidence, and minor mistakes, his relatives assured him he was doing just fine. The process was off to a slow start, but a start nonetheless.

One night, he layed awake in bed, feeling awful after accidently contaminating an important sample; His relatives were far from angry, but it didn't stop the anxiety the boy was feeling. Even with the freezing temperature, he decided to take a walk to clear his head. He hadn't strayed too far from the cabin when the snow picked up. Stumbling across a small cave, Eden decided to wait for the weather to die back down. To his surprise, the cave was inhabited by another, a small pokemon. A shuppet. Both beings kept their distance, unsure of the other. They never took their eyes off each other, til the snow stopped. Eden left, thinking about the little pokemon on the walk back. He soon returned with some food and a blanket for the thing. This continued every night. The two slowly began to grow close, until one night when the shuppet began to follow him back to the cabin. Eden's relatives were more than happy to have the pokemon stay, and the boy named him. Ceryn.

They've been inseperable ever since. Helping each other grow and learn. 

Sometime after returning home, Eden made up his mind to travel. To explore and see the world and experience new joys and wonders. He left months later, with encoragement from his family. He returns home from time to time to relax and help out.

Facts/notes/extra: 

- Current team;   Banette - Ceryn : Eden's very first pokemon [a Shuppet at the time].
At first he may come off as serious and hostle to anyone, especially anyone that could potentially hurt Eden. Once he is reassured however, one comes to learn he is very much like Eden himself. They both tend to be upbeat and usually goof off alot together. Ceryn has helped Eden very much through the years they've been together. [Such as Eden overcoming his shyness and allowing him to feel more confident and ready to take on the world].

                            Ponyta - Bonnie: A gift from Eden's mother when he decided to pursue traveling.
She is larger then the average ponyta and is Eden's main source of transportation besides walking. Bonnie is rather docile when it comes to others. She is willing to let most [both pokemon and humans alike] ride on her back. Bonnie is very fond of children.

                            Glaceon - Makenna: Upon another trip up north, Eden came across Makenna [and yes she was a glaceon at that time]. She is the most level headed of the team. She's also the 'motherly' type; Always looking out for the other pokemon and her trainer as well. The friendly type, though if threatened she may attack quite visciously. She's also a pretty good judge of character.

                            Wartortle - Lincoln 'Linc': Linc is the lazy type, He'd rather sit back and relax [near the waterside perferably] then anything. Especially loves to sleep/nap. He's quite loyal to Eden, and would do anything his trainer asks of him. He's also tough and can be aggressive towards others [usual if they tend to disturb him].

- Obtains a Flomantis later on (Almond)

- Favorite foods: Stir fry (rice or noodle types), homemade pies, sandwiches
