Victor

History
Rose and Cobalt first met Victor on Route 1, on their way to Viridian City. He and his Lillipup Biscuit were stuck on a ledge and were too frightened to get down on their own. Shortly after, Victor began to travel to Pewter City to meet up with his Aunt. Along the way, he ran into Rose and Cobalt again, and accompanied them through Viridian Forest and into Pewter City. During that time he also met Cira, who used Biscuit to create a diversion. Victor lost his temper, and still has very complicated feelings about Cira. After arriving in Pewter and meeting his Aunt, Victor decided that he would continue to travel with Rose and Cobalt on their Pokèmon journey.

On their first full morning in Vermillion City, Victor introduced Rose to Pelipper Pier, and convinced her and Cobalt to go to the theme park. Once there, he gleefully fessed up to being a first-time attendee, and led Rose, Cobalt, and their Pokémon to the Exeggutor Drop for their first ride. He and Biscuit enjoyed the ride, and led the group towards the Gym by way of the Psychic Fun House.

Once inside the Gym, Victor took the spectator's passage and ended up in the crow's nest of the ship arena. He cheered for Rose and Cobalt during their battle, and after their loss was approached by Calico and Agean to help them in the Trial. He and Biscuit pretended to be in peril, and dressed up in themed costumes to assist the Gym Leaders. At the end of the Trial, he revealed his role in the Trial, and gleefully produced his and Biscuit's "I Heart Pelipper Pier" hats. They, along with Rose and Cobalt, went to meet the tall woman from the crowd.

After getting ice cream, he, Rose, and Cobalt, along with their Pokémon, followed the tall woman to the entrance of Diglett's Tunnel. Although very apprehensive, he followed Cobalt into the ominously dark tunnel after Treble provided light. When they found Articuno in the underground cavern, Victor was visibly terrified, and cried throughout much of their encounter despite calling Nightlight out for support. When not crying, or being sat on by Nightlight, Victor was polite to the Legendary Birds. At some point during the meeting (likely during Zapdos's entrance) Victor passed out due to the shock and the cold. Nightlight, along with Rose and Cobalt, carried him to the Vermilion City Pokémon Center, where he received treatment from Nurse Joy.

Victor remained at the Pokémon Center under the care of Nurse Joy and protection of Nightlight, Sakura, Baritone, and Bass while Rose and Cobalt infiltrated the Top Secret Base. During his recuperation, he was sedated (poisoned, possibly with Arbok venom) and kidnapped by Team Rocket. He was kept in this state until Rose and Cobalt found and rescued him, with Rose using Sakura's Leech Seed to clear some of the poison from his system. They attached him to Nightlight, who presumably took him to a safe Pokémon Center for treatment.

Personality
Victor is a kind and gentle young man who has thinly veiled rage issues, but a truly good heart in him that he always wears on his sleeve. It's heavily implied that his frustrations come from his abandonment issues related to his aunt not being honest to him about his father's absence, which has lead to the needy nature that he can show with his friends as well as his Pokemon. He can be reluctant to open up about his deeper issues even to those closest to him and often relies on others to sort of keep him on the right track, trusting them to help him make the right decisions. Victor seems to be afraid of being hurt, by putting his stock in the wrong people. This has lead to him holding a grudge against others, which comes from a generally stubborn nature that has to be either directly confronted, or he'll keep staying the way he feels until the end of time.
