Extra Information: Jay considers the capture of Ho-Oh to be his most difficult task so far, the battle with Ho-Oh nearly decimated the entirety of his team, only falling thanks to Ninetales' Toxic and Volcarona's resilience. The battle took place when Jay, Carolina, and her younger siblings had taken a vacation out in the Johto region's Ecruteak City, though this wasn't originally planned. They had done some exploring out near the Burned Tower after hearing rumors about an ancient Fire-type residing at the Burnt Tower, curious they went to check it out. With their luck, they had encountered the Rainbow Pokemon, the legendary Ho-Oh. Jay had soon engaged it in battle, and after a strenuous battle, he was victorious in his endeavor. After its capture, Ho-Oh had quickly cemented itself as not only Jay's strongest Pokemon, but the strongest Pokemon of the Elemental Trainers. Its power and defenses are incredibly high, though its speed is below average. Jay rarely resorts to using it battle and generally saves it for last, believing it would give him an unfair advantage if he brought it out too early while also giving the Pokemon a bit of a surprise factor.
Born on a cold winter day in the city of Olathe, Jay was raised by stern, but loving parents. From a young age, his parents had begun to teach their son all they could about the world around him, teaching him what they think would help him in the future. This tutelage from his parents would prove to be quite useful in the long run, as his future would involve plenty of adventuring and time spent with Pokemon. His goal in life had become apparent when his father had gifted him with a Fennekin for his sixth birthday. The two of them had bonded well and it didn't take long before Jay decided that the little Fire-type would join him on a journey throughout the Kanzasu region when felt he was ready. He had goals to one day travel about the region and become its new champion, however just months after he turned six, his family had expanded. His mother had given birth to his younger sister, someone he vowed to protect and care for her until he had left on his journey. Over the next few years, Jay and Olivia were able to grow close to one another, becoming nearly inseparable from one another. Olivia was the one who helped keep Jay smiling, even on bad days, it was the little sister that kept him inspired to go for his dreams.
It wasn't too long after Olivia had turned four that Jay decided he was gonna head off on his own, traveling Kanzasu as he searched for his place in the world. Though, before he left, he took his sister out to the beaches of Olathe for one final day together before he would leave. They wanted to spend as much time together before he left, since they both knew neither of their parents would agree to letting a ten year old be responsible for his four year old sister as he traveled a region largely unknown to them. As they wandered about the beaches, Jay had come across a Helix Fossil resting on the shorelines, deciding to give it to his sister as a late birthday present. After returning home, Olivia and Jay were practically glued to each other, the little one wouldn't leave her brother's side until the morning. The two of them loved each other dearly, so it was gonna be pretty difficult for the two of them to say goodbye, especially for however long Jay might be away. After a tear filled farewell between the two of them, Jay had left on his journey to complete his goals.
Soon after leaving on his journey, Jay had met a wild Eevee. Believing that battling the Normal-type would grant him some good experience for his travels. The battle between the Eevee and his beloved Fennekin was a quick and simple battle, ending in Jay's favor. Following Eevee's capture, he decided to take on his local gym, the Grass-type leader, Penny. This was his first battle against another human, so it would be an interesting learning experience for him and his Pokemon. He had a Fennekin, so at least one of his Pokemon would hold the advantage over Penny's due to her typing. Much to Jay's surprise, the battle ended in Penny's favor; most people tend to take her on midway through their journey. Realizing he wasn't quite ready for her gym, he decided to make the journey out towards Platte, the only city on the western island with a port. He planned on heading out towards Wyandotte to really begin his journey.
Soon after arriving in Platte, Jay had met up with a young breeder named Kyle. He was on his way back to his ranch in Salina, which was just southwest of Wyandotte. The two of them were able to become pretty good friends as they awaited for the boat to arrive at the port. Believing Jay would be a good trainer, Kyle had decided to pass along a Pokemon egg, believing that it would be better if the Pokemon inside the egg had the chance to see the world around it. Soon after the two of them parted ways at the port in Garden City, the egg had hatched into a Larvesta. This little Bug-type would play a key role in many of Jay's toughest battles in the near future, including the encounter with a Pokemon that would have a significant impact on Jay's battling, though Larvesta wouldn't evolve until he had reached his final gym battle against Salina, one that would take just about everything he's learned on his journey to that point.
Soon after reaching Wyandotte, Jay had taken on the gym in hopes of really kick starting his journey. After a lengthy battle with Cain, he had managed to come out on top thanks to his little Eevee. The victory in the Wyandotte Gym was not only his first victory in the Kanzasu Pokemon League, but his first major victory since he had left on his journey a few months prior. This victory had called for a bit of a celebration, Jay decided it'd be a good idea to take a quick vacation in Springfield, he was always interested in seeing the beautiful, scenic views the cliffs offered. Sometime before reaching the city, two major events had happened to the group. First, the little Eevee had evolved into a Flareon thanks to a Fire Stone from Jay, the second involved the capture of team member number 4, a beautiful Ninetales.
The Ninetales was a bit of a tragic encounter, especially in comparison to his other Pokemon, it was also his first encounter with Team Nebula... sort of anyways. The poacher was hired by the nefarious Team Nebula to capture any Pokemon that seemed to be either valuable or powerful, with such a nice pay from the villainous squad, the poacher had practically jumped at the offer and soon after leaving the Royal Laboratory, he had come across the Ninetales. While this particular Fire-type wasn't all that powerful, it was an incredibly rare sight to see a wild Ninetales. There was no doubt in his mind that this Pokemon would be the valuable creature that Team Nebula was seeking, but unfortunately for this poacher, he ran into Jay. The cliched heroism that was an established part of Jay's personality caused him to engage the poacher in battle. While the poacher only had a single Pokemon, his experience in battle was enough to nearly defeat Jay; his Rampardos only went down thanks to a combination of Flareon's Shadow Ball and Toxic. After his defeat, he had fled the scene in search of an easier to obtain Pokemon while Jay had stayed behind to help treat the wounds of the Ninetales, though over the course of the next few days, the two of them grew close and eventually prompted the Fire-type to join up with Jay's team.
Over the course of the next five years, Jay had slowly collected the Kanzasu gym badges, his Larvesta had evolved into a Volcarona and he captured a Litwick that had eventually evolved into a Chandelure. After he had collected the gym badges, he had decided he wasn't quite ready to take on the Elite Four, so he decided it was time to head home for the first in several months. While over the course of his journey, he had occasionally made a few stops at home to check in with his folks and hang out with his beloved sister, though none of these visits lasted for more than a couple days. Unknown to him, he would soon encounter someone that would forever change his life.
