Harrison Alder was born in Lavander Town, Kanto. From a young age he was interested in Pokemon, he was able to befriend many pokemon quite easily. On his tenth birthday, Mr. Fuji gave Harrison a pokemon egg. Harry looked after it, cared for the pokemon that was growing inside, until one month later it glowed a bright light, Harry was astonished when he saw the blue Trapinch that had just hatched from the egg, from what he knew a Trapinch was orange. It was that moment that defined his life, his interest in pokemon became an interest in alternatively coloured pokemon. Harry left Lavender Town, he made his way to Pallet Town to study under Professor Oak. He stayed there five years before he left on his journey. Battling trainers and observing wild pokemon whenever he got the chance but he rarely saw any "shiny" pokemon. He had become obsessed with the alternatively coloured pokemon, making his way through the regions in search of more. By the time he had finished his journey through the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, he was eighteen and had only caught one more shiny pokemon, a light green Ekans. Harry then learned of a recently discovered region, home to almost every type of pokemon. In hopes of discovering the reasons for "shiny" pokemon, Harry quickly moved to the Myrius region, where he built a lab and began his new life.
