James was born in the Hoenn region. He was born to an alcoholic father, and a mother whom he knows nothing about. His brother, Jimmy, three years older, has a Typhlosion and went to Johto to start his journey. He left his brother James behind in the Hoenn region.
He met a girl named Crystal at school and her ferocity caught his attention. How could such a little girl be so ferocious and tough, he thought. He followed her and realized she trained at a dojo. He went a little too far into the dojo and witnessed the girl use fire at her command. He was caught by the sensei's but with Crystals instruction, she let him watch and stay. They became friends that day. Crystal convinced him to train at the dojo, if not with her then as a regular student on the other floor.
James then stuck with Crystal and never told a soul her secret. James was very trustworthy but also very dependent on the friendship of the girl. He was loyal but also jealous. He was honourable yet resentful.
For years James and Crystal were inseparable, training together or just spending time together. But at the age of 14, Crystal had to leave him. Team Rocket got word of her powers and tried to kidnap her, but with friends' of hers' help, she got out safe. As a precaution, her father wanted them all to leave. As so they left. No matter how much James wanted to go with her, his father would not permit it. James needed to wait until he was old enough to leave, when he became a trainer.
After Crystal left, he started to form abandonment issues. He was lonely, walking around town. He barely had any real friends other than Crystal. But he found an Absol wondering around her old house, so James tried to befriend it. He and Crystal did send mail to each other a couple times a season and they vowed to start their journey together. Years later, when James turned 17, he learned what Absol's signify. He caught it and vowed to show it to Crystals father. And so he left to meet her in Johto.
He expectantly met Crystal on his way to Johto. But things got rough on the ship they were traveling and the friends (Tsuki and Hiro) that saved Crystal from Team Rocket helped her out yet again but delivering her to Lance's hideout in the mountains as they worked out the problem. James' adventures with Crystal began there, as Crystal was crowned Queen of the Infernos by an Entei. James didn't know much about what these powers of Crystals signified nor what being "Queen of Fire" meant, but he went with it and stuck by his friend.
Crystal taught him everything he needed to know about her powers, given how he was her best friend as well, she just as dependant on their friendship. They became lovers that night and stayed with each other every day.
They explored the Johto and Hoenn region, catching and training powerful Pokémon on their journey together. With her powers getting more and more powerful, Team Rockets attacks seemed to come to an end.
But they struck back one night. They kidnapped James, instead of Crystal. And they succeeded.
James has now spent a year with Team Rocker, unlocking a power inside of him. A power he did not know he had, the power of electricity at his disposal. James forcefully got trained under Team Rocket under this year.
The two have now spent a year without each other...
James did not know Crystal and her friends have been trying everything in their power to find him, give how nothing was working...
Just as the idea of being a powerful ally of Team Rocket began to settle in, he found Crystal...
