Who knows where he came from, but he got lost on Unova's train system at some point... and befriended a little bug-loving trainer hopeful! Someday he'll grow up big and strong, but for now he's just comfortable in his trainer's arms...

Personality

often lost in thought

Background

nat has loved bug pokemon with all his heart all his life!! they're tiny and adorable, full of joy and curiosity. he's a bug catcher in anville town that dreams of becoming a bug-type gym leader like bugsy or burgh!
being from anville town, he spends a lot of time near trains. he doesn't ride them very much (gets trainsick v easily) but loves watching people come in and out and thinking about where they're going and what they do! he gets to see pokemon and trainers from all over the world coming and going, which really inspires him.
a little lonely caterpie wandered off the train one day, seemingly without a trainer at all! since they aren't native to unova nat worried about how it'd be able to handle itself in the unfamiliar environment, so he took the sweet creature under his wing to help it out! the two were near inseparable quickly, even though it wasn't nat's original intention to keep the caterpie for himself. he'd given it a temporary nickname 'little' when they first met to try and keep from getting to attached, but it kinda stuck and now it's just his name... :'D
since he felt that even if he let the caterpie go he'd just follow him around anyway, nat decided to officially capture the endearing little babby and make him an official part of his party!
