Hi, welcome to PXR! :D

I'm enjoying your story so far! You create such colourful and interesting characters! :) It's cool that it's set in a new region.

I found it kinda funny that he already had a Purrloin at home and now got given one as a starter. I realise he would be disappointed that it was unevolved and stuff, but he obviously likes cats and that Pokemon in particular, so I wouldn't have thought he'd mind so much. I was surprised Maria chose that Pokemon to breed for him when he already has one. xD

Looking forward to reading more! :)
