The Bulbasaur who would eventually become Ash’s Bulbasaur was born in a forest near Cerulean City. He grew up there, surrounded by his parents.
As he was getting older, he became more and more independent. One day, when he was walking alone in the forest, he met another male Bulbasaur. Both Bulbasaurs immediately fell in love with each other. Consequently, Ash’s future Bulbasaur started spending less time with his parents and more time with his boyfriend. They loved each other very much.
A few weeks later, when the Bulbasaurs were kissing each other and "holding vines", Ash’s future Bulbasaur’s parents saw them. That’s how they found out that their son is gay, and they were really upset about that. As a result, they brutally attacked both Bulbasaurs and they abandoned their son.
Both Bulbasaurs were severely injured during the attack. Fortunately, soon after it, Melanie found them and brought them to the Hidden Village. She took care of them as well as she could and they did their best to stay strong together.
Eventually, Ash’s future Bulbasaur recovered from his injuries, but his boyfriend died due to his injuries. The surviving Bulbasaur had loved his boyfriend until the end and was heartbroken about his death. He cried for weeks as he was grieving.
While Bulbasaur was grieving, Melanie did her best to take care of him and of the other Pokemon of the Hidden Village. Eventually, Bulbasaur started helping Melanie take care of them, in order to avoid them suffering like he had suffered. After all, that’s what his compassionate boyfriend would have wanted.
For a few years, Bulbasaur helped Melanie take care of the other Pokemon of the Hidden Village… until Ash and his friends arrived there.
