PERSONALITY
"Oh? No one would admit they're a bad person you know. Well, maybe some would, but that would make them good, honest people, right?"
Elysian is somewhat of a brat and scoundrel, he's a bit superfluous in performance but becomes immediately pragmatic, or even cowardly when the situation turns less favourable towards him. He isn't above using some underhanded tricks to get what he wants - which usually isn't much. Despite veining poetic about becoming filthy rich and being drowned in luxuries, he's surprsingly easy to actually satisfy and has a very exaggerated imagined picture of what being wealthy is actually like.
Perhaps due to his upbringing, Elysian has the streak of a kleptomaniac and conman. He sometimes pickpockets people out of habit, a skill that he is dangerously good at, but will return the items and apologize once he's realized what he had done. That being said, towards those he deemed to be "evil", he exhibits a Robinhood complex and doesn't hesitate to fight dirty tricks with dirty tricks. In fact, it is something satisfying for him, being able to drop the nice, lawful gym leader initiate act for just a moment.
Those who knows of his past might be surprised at his generally cheerful if not over the top demeanour, but Elysian doesn't really see any of his past as "unfortunate". He treats it more like a fact of life, knowing that even if he acts cold and hostile while cursing the world, it won't really get him anywhere.
BACKGROUND
"...Hmph. I came from a faraway place, half of you probably never even heard of it. It wasn't a good place, but at least my parents cried when they left. It kind of just happens, everyone's gotta abandon a kid or two. Also, psst, you want to buy this silver wing? Only 1 million 
. You might encounter a legendary Pokemon if you hold it! Huh, me? I'm not strong enough for that, haha. It's authentic, I swear!"
Hailing from the Pyrite Town of the Orre Region, Elysian was abandoned by his parents quickly as he was born around the time that the town began to fall into disrepair. Known as a town of thieves and thugs, the boy naturally took on these characteristics and resorted to a life of crime much like the rest of the town's populus. He didn't have his own Pokemon for a long time, but developed swift movement and great sleight of hand skills. The main trade of the town was the trafficking of shadow Pokemon, which were easy to steal, buy, and sell due to their artificially closed hearts.
To say that Elysian didn't have his own Pokemon is not entirely true, because he says that a strange rock he carries around is a Pokemon. No one took his claim seriously, as it seemed like a normal rock, not like any rock type Pokemon ever seen in the region. Despite that, he lugged the rock around with him everywhere he went, believing that he did see it acting like a Pokemon. His theory finally came to fruition when a wild Drifloon, a Pokemon known for kidnapping children, wrapped itself around Elysian and tried to carry him away. Being pulled up in the air, Elysian accidentally dropped the rock he's always held on to. The rock, however, only fell for a bit before floating up revealing its true form: Minior.
The Minior that Elysian dragged around for so long had a heated battle with the wild Drifloon in midair, trying to protect its "trainer", or the kid that dragged it around for a while. It eventually ended with the pair befriending the balloon Pokemon. They've drifted far out by then, and crashed landed in a series of islands. It was much later that he found it those were the Whirl Islands of Johto.
With nowhere to go but ahead, Elysian was forced to travel far, though at least he went from no Pokemon to two. His old habits die hard, and he continued to use pickpocketing as his main source of income, even stealing a silver wing from a well-known radio tower director. After finding out that he might have actually taken something important this time, Elysian booked it for another region. He arrived at Valoro and heard about the gym leader initiative, and decided he would take a shot at it. Though his main reasons for wanting to become a gym leader is to be above the law and earn a quick buck, he is trying his best to turn a new leaf.
POKEMON
"Hubble and Myst are, uh, it was kind of luck that I got them. Myst tried to kidnap me when I was really small, and everyone thought Hub was just a regular rock - Hey! Don't just drop out of the air like that, your shell is heavy you know!"
Hubble - Minior
Hubble is an unusual Minior, though there is no difference between it and regular Miniors when it's shell is on, its unusual coloring shows itself in its shields down form. It's quite a happy-go-lucky Pokemon, and even can be considered a bit lazy. It likes to pretend to be a regular rock, though that is harder to pull off in places where Minior are more common.
Myster Loon - Drifloon
Or just "Myster" for short, the full name is what a very young Elysian called it while being kidnapped. For a Drifloon, Myster is somewhat bad at its job, being (more than literally) an airhead and often loses direction. It's a bit meek and timid and dislikes traveling in packs with other Drifloon, which is likely why it tried to take up a trainer who seemed like he had no other Pokemon.
