Chase Sparks/History

==Beginnings Arc==
Chase was an ordinary young boy from Hachimanyama, Tokyo (New York in the dub). Ever since he was small, he loved Pokémon, but never got the chance to play any games related to it due to his family's poor budget. For a few years, he had visions about a certain Pikachu, always confusing him. One day, after classes at Hachimanyama Elementary School, he saw a teenage boy walking on the road, but he noticed a truck about to hit the young boy. Not wanting to let him die, he pushes him out of the way and sacrifices his life in the process, though not before apparently hallucinating a Pikachu in front of him.
Eventually, Chase opens his eyes and discovers that he was reincarnated into the world of Pokémon, albeit with the same name given from birth. While shocked at first, he (as a 3-year-old) decides to get used to his new life, especially since he loves Pokémon. Two years later, he befriends Trace, learning that he lives in the same town as him (Pallet Town). While staying true to their friendship from that day on, they eventually become rival-like for certain things.
Five years later, the famous researcher Professor Oak offers to give each of them a starter Pokémon so they can set off on a Pokémon journey. While looking for Oak, Chase finds him at the entrance to Route 1, where he also encounters a peculiar Pikachu (which he realizes is the same Pikachu from his hallucinations and visions) and catch it, making it his partner Pokémon, while Trace receives an Eevee from Professor Oak, who also gives each of the two young Trainers a Pokédex and asks them to complete them. After delivering Professor Oak's Parcel to him from Viridian City, Chase's journey begins in earnest.
==Pewter Arc==
After leaving Pallet Town, Chase goes on a quest to catch every Pokémon in the Kanto region, starting with a Pidgey, Rattata, and Oddish (which he names Olivia). He later gets a Spearow (which he names Feary) and two different Nidoran, but becomes exhausted and retreats to the Pokémon Center. The next day, after a battle with Trace, Chase makes it through Viridian Forest (catching a Caterpie, Weedle - which he names King Bee, and Bulbasaur in the process), and arrives in Pewter City, where he encounters a lonely Meltan. After a whole day trying to (and successfully) befriend it, he catches it and names it Melty, not wanting to let it go into the wild. The next day, with the help of Priko and Olivia, Chase defeats Brock, the first one of Kanto's eight Gym Leaders, as well as encounters Blue, another Pallet Town Trainer, who had set off on his own journey years earlier. However, unbeknownst to anyone, a Mew starts to watch Chase from afar.
==Cerulean Arc==
After a few training sessions, Chase sets off, leaving Pewter City behind. On the way, he catches a Sandshrew (which he names Sandy and switches out for fully-evolved King Bee) and a Mankey that quickly disobeys him and causes trouble for his team. Displeased, he decides to rest for the night, but gets his first nightmare in the process. The next day in Mt. Moon, Chase has his first encounter with Team Rocket, an evil organization bent on using Pokémon for their own benefit and gain. He also obtains the Helix Fossil and has his first confrontation with the bumbling Team Rocket trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth.
During the battle, Priko gets hurt, and his enraged Trainer snaps and suddenly shoots out magic lightning bolts, forcing the trio to retreat. Past Mt. Moon, an exhausted Chase arrives in Cerulean City, where he passes out at the Pokémon Center. The next day, the young boy goes on to catch a Psyduck (which he names Donald) and a Charmander, as well as teaching Priko Zippy Zap. Alongside another Bulbasaur he obtained, this helps him defeat Gym Leader Misty, earning him his second badge.
==Vermilion Arc==
After two days in Cerulean City, Chase puts Olivia back on his team and goes on to thwart Team Rocket's plan of recruiting new members at the Nugget Bridge, catching a Venonat and Squirtle afterwards. After some evolutions, he then encounters the famous Pokémon fanatic Bill, who gives him a pair of S.S. Tickets for the S.S. Anne luxury liner, which is currently docked at Vermilion City. Along the way there, Chase meets up with Trace once more and shares one of the tickets with him. Aboard the S.S. Anne, he meets up with Blue again and Priko learns the Secret Technique Chop Down, which grants his Trainer access to the Vermilion Gym while the S.S. Anne sails away. After a rough battle the first time, Chase teaches Priko Dig and manages to defeat Lt. Surge, resulting in him getting the Thunder Badge. However, as he goes to the Pokémon Center to rest, he begins to become doubtful of himself. Once again, Mew watches on.
==Celedon and Lavender Arc==
After leaving Vermillion following a cooldown, Chase has an encounter with Lorelei of the Pokémon League's Elite Four on Route 10 and makes his way through Rock Tunnel to Lavender Town, where an orphan Cubone and the Mew that had been watching Chase the whole time are kidnapped by the Team Rocket trio and taken to Celadon City. Following them, Chase discovers the secret entrance to the Team Rocket Hideout at the Rocket Game Corner. The young boy infiltrates the hideout, where he defeats the Team Rocket trio once more; have his first confrontations with Team Rocket Admin Archer and the organization's leader, Giovanni; and learn of the team's plan to take over Silph Co. in Saffron City. Returning to Lavender Town with Cubone, Chase uses the Silph Scope to identify the ghost blocking the entrance to the highest floor of the Pokémon Tower as Cubone's deceased mother, Marowak, which is calmed down after reuniting with her child and departs to the afterlife. The Trainer stops the Team Rocket trio from kidnapping Mr. Fuji at the top floor, but after what happened with the day's events, he decides to get some rest.
A few days later, Chase goes on to resume his Gym Challenge, and it is revealed that he caught a Chansey (which he named Lucky), a Farfetch'd, a Jigglypuff, a Krabby, a Snorlax, a Growlithe (which he named Barky), a Drowzee, a Mr. Mime, and an Abra. Glad that he is working hard to complete his Pokédex, the young boy becomes overly confident, leading him to winning battles against Trainers too easily. Eventually, he makes it to the Celedon Gym, but is forced to pose as a Lass whose partner Pikachu wants to have a battle with the Gym Leader. Despite the ruse backfiring, Priko and Barky defeat Erika, getting Chase his 4th badge.
