HISTORY:
Matthew was born like any other human being, on the inside of a cramped hospital. Not just a hospital in some random place, but within the Unova region, but in Accumula Town.
Not only was the hospital cramped with humans, it was also cramped with healing Pokémon left and right. His first memorable event happened in one of these buildings, 3 years later.
He had somehow stumbled over a rock, and fell down a concrete staircase. Whether the parents knew that it was a Pokémon that did it, that's their fault. That, or Matthew never decided to tell them.. He was cradled into one of those beds, waiting for a doctor to come in and check his aching bones. He was only 3, and he was handling this pain like a 40 year old.
The conclusion came from the doctor, both of his legs were fractured quite badly, and his right arm was broken harshly. "Most likely from trying to break the fall..", the doctor said to the parents, with their child cuddled between their scared faces. They had to accept it, it wasn't their decision that he was hurt so badly. "We assume he'll be able to walk within a month or so." the doctor continued, trying to offer some enlightenment to the family.
In this whole situation, Matthew just stared at the doctor and his stethoscope around his neck that shone when it hit the few rays that entered the cramped room.
A month passed, and Matthew was up on his feet again. He had some pretty gnarly bruises and a couple scars on his arm. Only worth it if you get scars and bruises, right?
Luckily, his arm bone healed back into place with the help of a cast, and a brace later on to keep it there.
While incapacitated this whole time, he would sit around with his one friend, Vanillite. He had nicknamed the floating icecream cone Nilly. Matthew had, on occasion, tried to lick the icecream cone, but Nilly would float off too quick for him to even see what it tasted like..
Nilly had been at his side the whole time, occupying the kid's time. Nilly had become part of the family when Matthew's dad came home from work, with an egg in his gloved hands. The egg was freezing, fog coming off of it from the heat outside. His dad gave it to him for his 3rd birthday, and had taken care of him ever since then. what the parent's didn't know is that Nilly was the one that caused Matthew to fall down those stairs.. those silly "Can't catch me!" games..
The Pokemon's ditz-y style was what got that kid going. Once she did something funny, Matthew would just giggle and giggle. This sure would tick off his parents when they were taking their naps on Sunday evenings..

Years passed, and he had now turned 16. His sweet sixteen, baby! Low and behold, he didn't get much for his bday. He had gotten a few trivial things from his parents, and Nilly (now Vanillish) had given him a face full of ice beam. He just chuckled to himself, allowing himself just content-ness in this moment. His parents had been great to him all his years, and all he could give back was a smirk at the gifts he had received. "Thanks, guys." was all he could say. Nilly just zoomed around the room at the thank-you.

Three more years passed, and we're at the present. Not much has changed in the past years, other than the usual guy-hitting-puberty-type-of-deal. Nilly, now a Vanilluxe, just laid around this house, like Matthew had begun to do. She had lost her spunk, and Matthew had just finished high school last year. He wasn't going to go to college. Education bored him to tears. Soon enough he'd be moving off somewhere on his own, or just go explore the region like the other kids seemed to be doing. He thought that'd be the best. So now he has embarked on this new trip, with nothing on him other than a backpack and some food for his trip to get his starter Pokémon.

PERSONALITY:
Matthew is a subtle guy, he doesn't like to brag or take people down. He's just one of those nice, quiet guys. Though, when he needs to talk, he has supreme fluency. Sentences flow with proper grammar, like most of us wish we could do. No wonder why he skipped college..
He isn't much of a person for change, either. He likes what was established in him long ago by his parents and by exploration, not new stuff.
He isn't much of an outgoing person either. He won't just walk up to someone on the street, and just pour out his soul and life story to that person. He keeps to himself what he should, and if he needs to ask directions from someone, he will. Not like people are poisonous or something, he just prefers to be by himself.
Matthew is also a hard-worker. He doesn't like having other people do stuff for him, he's more independent then that. Some things he'll allow, like Pokémon Centers.. he is kind of squeamish around blood and such, so they can take care of that.

APPEARANCE:
Matthew is like any other person. He isn't the tallest person, he isn't the shortest, he is right in the middle. Somewhere in the 5 foot 8-ish range is where he stands.
His dirty-blond hair is cut short, not to the point of baldness, but to the point where there is still hair on the top of his head.
His eyes are a hue of green and gray combined, to create a steel-looking pair of irises. They seem to pop-off his face, because of his darker-than-albino skin. His skin isn't a normal Caucasian white, it's more tan than that. His skin color is normal too, he doesn't spend an hour a week in a tanning salon.
Matthew likes to wear a comfortable pair of aged jeans, the kind that sit at your waist and you don't have to worry about them sagging down. He wears a random graphic-T underneath a nice green hoody. His choice of shoes is a nice pair of etnie type shoes, with a green stripe through the side, with a black stripe accompanying it above, and a gray stripe below it. Not the greatest running shoes, but they get the job done. Of course his outfit does change when it gets hotter outside. He strips the hoody off and stows it in his backpack, and just wears his graphic-T that was underneath. Or, if it's like desert temperature, he may take out his spare shorts from his backpack. These shorts are a green and white checkerboard design all around.
