Mitch the Sceptile

Mitch is a Sceptile living in Fortree City with his mate, Lia the Gardevoir.

History
Mitch initially lived in Nuvema Town, Unova while a Treecko and early on as a Grovyle. Shortly after becoming Lia's mate, Mitch met other Pokémon such as Aleri the Leavanny and Flare the Vulpix. However, Lia and Mitch moved to Fortree City after taking a vacation together in Hoenn. The reason they picked this place to live was because it was full of trees, and when they had visited during their vacation, there was a carnival in town. Their relationship has been very romantic.

Mitch was also part of a mission by Wartortle and Backfire the Typhlosion to bring notorious Pokémon poacher G to justice. While they were successful, Wartortle was skewered through the shell and killed in front of Mitch, causing him to develop a fear for death. He has since matured and gotten over this fear.

After some time, a Surskit followed Mitch and Lia home during one of their walks through Route 120. The Surskit seemed very attached to them, so they decided to adopt him and name him Sam. Sam was very bubbly and loved to skid around the floor of Mitch and Lia's treehouse.

In the Spring, Aleri offered Mitch and Lia the chance to be in a rescue team, to which they obliged. The group was known as the Jade Brigade, until Lia left due to spite of Aleri. Jirachi became Lia's replacement, and the group was renamed the Jade Parade.

Mitch's experiences in the Jade Parade influenced his desires to evolve into a Sceptile. Lia, however, was not supportive of this idea, or even the idea of evolving into a Gardevoir herself. They even kept everstones to keep themselves from evolving. However, a group of Masquerain took Sam one day and kept him high in a tree Mitch found himself unable to climb as a Grovyle. He chucked his everstone into the lake of Route 120 and instantly evolved into Sceptile. Lia allowed herself to evolve as well after Sam was rescued.

Shortly after evolving, Mitch and Lia mated to produce their daughter Charlotte.

In June, Mitch found himself in the middle of an expedition to put a stop to Genesect's influence over the Musketeers of Unova. The Jade Parade navigated Virizion's mystery dungeon to fight her to break her evil influence. However, her Volcarona burned the tree dungeon down and the Parade barely escaped thanks to Jirachi's quick thinking with Teleport.

Mitch found himself helping Unova once more in July to rescue Aleri, Beans the Stunky, and a Bisharp from Genesect's clutches. He and Jirachi waited at Landorus' Guild for someone to give them information regarding their location. Wartortle's son managed to make it back to the Guild and lead Mitch and other rescuers to Genesect. What resulted afterwards was a large scale battle against Genesect which ended with Aleri beheading the steel bug.

After a third Genesect attack that Mitch had almost no involvement in, Aleri disbanded the Jade Parade. Mitch felt disappointed, so he searched for a guild in Hoenn with Lia to continue rescue work. They found one, but Lia quickly became apathetic about the idea of rescue, instead wanting to focus more on the romantic side of her relationship with Mitch.

At one point, Miss Magius turned him into a Mareep via illusion. During this time, he played with a Chingling and enjoyed his swap at lot more than he thought he would. Although Lia also seemed affectionate towards Mitch in Mareep form, in the end, she said she didn't appreciate her mate being under the influence of an illusion.

In recent times, Mitch has made friends with Marcus, a Gallade and Green, another Treecko. Mitch admires Marcus' strength, and ditto for Green about Mitch. Mitch has even influenced Green to train to evolve into a Grovyle.

During February, Fortree had fallen victim to various attacks by adversaries recently, such as Magius scaring Green, a Hydreigon (really a Honchkrow under an illusion by Magius), and a Froslass. Because of these encounters, Mitch was worried that he and his family may have to leave Fortree City. However, they were able to stay in the end.

In March, Mitch participated in a Pokémon Stadium match against a Steelix, which he won with a moveset of Double Team, Giga Drain, Low Kick, and Leaf Storm.

These days, Mitch lives a quiet life, but he's managed to make friends in Pokémon such as Tep, an Emboar, and Star, a shiny Floatzel, among others.
