Dan's Backstory

New Bark Town...

Dan was born in a family with no brothers but he had 4 sisters that were older than him. His sisters, Lauren age 8, Sally, age 10, Kristen, age 6, and Rachel age 9. When Dan was a little boy, his sisters would dress him up and tease him a lot. When Dan was 5, he would always hide from his sisters because they would force diaper him and make him wet it and make him do all sorts of baby things to him. One time Dan was hiding from his sisters, he was in a tree and saw his sisters walk past him so many times, and Dan thought it was funny and started to laugh. When Kristen heard his laugh, she looked up and saw Dan. "Girls, Dan is here." said Kristen as she was climbing up the tree.

When Dan saw that his sister was on her way to him, he leaped to the other tree but he slipped and when he jumped, missed the tree but hit his head on the tree trunk and fell down to the ground very hard. When Dan hit the ground, his head was starting to bleed, and since his mom and dad went to the store to buy groceries, his sisters were trying to fix up Dan. The oldest sister, Sally at the time 15, picked up Dan and runned to the nearest Poké Center. When Sally reached the Poké Center, their parents came home and asked where are Dan and Sally.

When they told their parents that Dan and Sally were at the Poké Center, both parents screamed and ran to the Poké Center. When they saw Dan in Sally's arms unconscious and bleeding, they went to the front desk and asked if they could get him saved faster because they didn't want to lose a child. The nurse, a Meowth, said that they are doing everything they can to help and ask for Dan. Sally, not wanting to let Dan out of her arms, held him tighter. The Meowth came to Sally saying that if she wants to she can come with Dan to the operating room so they can save Dan.

Sally, liking that idea, nodded and got up but was covered in Dan's blood, brought Dan to the operating room. When Sally put Dan on the hospital bed, she begged the doctor to please save Dan. The doctor, a Quagsire, said that they would do everything they could to save Dan. When the doctor was saying that to Sally, Dan was unconsciously using Recover and started to heal himself. When Sally saw that Dan was healing himself, she got her parents, and she showed it to her parents and they started to cry tears of joy. When Dan was finished, healing himself, he grabbed Sally's hand. As soon as Sally felt Dan's hand, she hugged him and he hugged her. When they were hugging Dan asked: "Sis, what happened?" Sally looked at her brother and told him everything. "Dan, what happened was that when you jumped from the tree to escape us, you slipped and missed the tree and then you fell really hard on the ground. So, I picked you up and ran you over to the Poké Center and they were ready to fix you but you unconsciously used Recover and healed yourself." when Sally was done, Dan started to cry and hugged his sister tighter.

"I'm so sorry that I caused so much trouble" said Dan. Sally, trying to comfort Dan, said "It's OK, we are just glad that you are still alive." While Sally was comforting Dan, their parents came in and started to hug Dan tightly saying that he was grounded for climbing trees and trying to jump from them. Dan, still sad, said "OK" When they were done at the Poké Center, they went back to their house.

Age 7...

When Dan was 7, they were packing up clothes and stuff for a vacation. Dan was happy because they were going to Olivine City for the seaside and Dan has never been there and he was excited about it. He was already packed up with everything he needed for the vacation. Before leaving for Olivine City, Dan went back into his room and grabbed his stuffed animal. When he got back, he got in the car and they drove all the way to Olivine City. When they got to Olivine, all of them were tired, so they went straight to their house and went to sleep. When they woke up, they got ready to go for a swim. When Dan was done getting dressed for a swim, he asked if he could go the ocean and swim. His parents said "Not until we are all ready" Dan was sad because he was really looking forward to swimming. Dan waited for his family to finish getting changed, and after 30 minutes of waiting, his family was ready and they went to the ocean.

When they got to the ocean, Dan jumped into the ocean and started to swim. He was very happy because he always wanted to swim and now he was. His sisters also joined him. They went to the deep end of the ocean and they wanted Dan to come with them. Dan knowing that he wasn't the strongest of swimmers declined and swam in the swallow end. He was having a good time and then he looked at his sisters having fun and he wanted to join them. So he started to swim towards them, but as he was swimming, he slipped and lost his footing. He started to drown but then someone grabbed his hand. He looked up and saw that Kristen saved him. He started to get afraid of the ocean and he went into the house and stayed in the house. Kristen, getting worried about Dan, went inside and checked on Dan.

Dan in his room, crying and saying that he was not good enough and that he was a failure. When Kristen heard that he had said those things about himself, she started to hug him and said that he was not a failure and he was good enough and that her and the sisters did not ask him to come to the deep end. Dan still scared of the ocean wanted Kristen to stay with him. "Of course Dan" said Kristen and they stayed inside and played video games until their parents came inside. When they saw that they were playing video games, they sighed in relief. Their mom, Francine, came to them saying: "You should have not ran off, you got your father and me worried." Dan started to cry and then Kristen hugged him tight. "Mom, can I have a word with you?" said Kristen.

Kristen took her mom to another room away from Dan and told her mom everything. When Francine knew what had happened, she went to Dan and apologized to him saying that it was not right for her to yell at him.

Age 10...

It was Dan's Birthday and he was so happy. He went outside and started to collect some berries. When he was picking some berries, Kristen was wrapping her present for Dan for his birthday. She was so happy to have her present done for Dan. She made Dan a sword and had everyone in the family to sign it. When she finished wrapping up the sword, she put it on the present table. When she was done looking, she heard Dan screaming "Get Out" the entire family looked out the window and before they could get out of the house, they were blown up and everything was in rubble. Dan went to his family and tried to revive his family but he was too late. He found a present for him and unwrap it. He saw it was a sword and it said, "Happy Birthday Little Bro, Love Kristen" Dan started to get teary eye and then Kristen's hand popped out and she said "Help" Dan went to her and took her to the Poké Center and left her there. Before he left he said "Sis, if you ever need me, call me" and with that he gave her a phone and then left.
