Brooke
Jublife was the second closest town to Sandgem. It was also the heart of the Sinnoh region, full of soaring skyscrapers and hotels, busy streets. Brooke had lived in a medium sized apartment near the north-eastern part of the city.
She had resided together with her mother, Eri Hallows. At the age of forty-three, Brooke's mother fell severely ill. Not even the best doctors of Jublife or Eterna City could find a cure. They miserably told Brooke the heartbreaking news that her mother would breathe her last breath soon. Indeed, a few weeks after catching the disease, Eri passed away.
At the time of these events, Brooke had been merely eleven years of age. The dealings struck her hard, but also toughened her over time. She decided to go live with her grandmother in Sandgem Town, south of Jublife. Certainly, she made the journey there and joined up with her grandma, Jessica. She quickly got accustomed to the little town and people and spent the next six years of her life there.
It had been December of the fifth year, when Brooke had been walking around with her friend Ross just outside the borders of the town, in a meadow with a small hill where they often hung out. They were walking past the hill of rocks when they heard quick, loud, breathing.
Both were shocked upon discovering a worn out Elekid that had seen better days. Half covered in snow and eyes closed, it must have used its last energies to crawl to the little safety of a small cavern in the hill. Immediately, Brooke picked up the Elekid and took care of the worst of the wounds, while they both hurriedly escorted it back to Sandgem.
Later, Jessica, who was not only Brooke's grandma, but also the town's healer, cured the Elekid and gave it a warm place to sleep for the night. The next afternoon she instructed Brooke to release it back into the wild. When Brooke let the Elekid go at the borders of town, it came back running as she was crossing the meadow back to town. Since then, they have been not only trainer and Pokémon, but also best friends.
The day after Ross found a Sneasel was the day she decided to compete in the Little Cup. The travel had taken her over two hours now, but the city was already in her sights. The sun was out and flocks of Starly hovered over the grassy landscape overhead. Tired from walking in the hot weather all day, she let Elekid out of his Pokéball, sighed heavily, and seated herself on the grass.
She calmly and slowly took out her packed lunch, which consisted of a ham sandwich and some orange juice. Elekid was hungry, and eager to eat, so as soon as Brooke pulled a box of Pokéblocks from her backpack, Elekid rushed to grab it, tripped, and knocked both Brooke and the box to the floor. Brooke sat up and watched as Elekid struggled to lift his heavy body from the floor and go for his food. She smiled.
"You and me make a great team, buddy."
However, the little Elekid was too busy eating to pay any attention to her.
