Magazines, newspapers, books of all sorts, even romance novels. However, while he sat inside or in a comfy chair devouring his newest literary prize, his brother was impressing people with his strength and his skill catching and battling pokemon. Adelmar, often shortened to Adel with his friends, was not jealous however. In fact he somewhat enjoyed his older brother taking the attention away from him, and directing it somewhere else where he could watch. Unlike most people, he never was interested at being in the center of attention, he was more concerned with trying to understand what was happening. His parents tried to be supportive of both of them, but it could be seen that they did favor his brother with his ambitions and goals. Silly little Adel just wanted to stay inside and read his books. Finally the day came and his brother left on his journey, determined like so many others to be the best Pokémon trainer in the world. Adelmar wanted to do something in his life that was a little less… competitive. Without big brother Erno around the house, things were certainly more quiet. At age eleven, instead of receiving Pokémon like many of his friends did, he earned his first pair of glasses, his eyes already struggling to keep up with the strain forced on them from reading so much. Instead of setting out on his own Pokémon journey, Adel stayed in school. He studied hard, he devoted himself to learning, and he found himself set on a more fufilling career path. Finally, he set out from his parent’s home in Viridian City, and moved to the much larger Celadon City in search of work. Living in an apartment on borrowed money from his parents quickly grew to be a lonely life however, and Adelmar felt left out, seeing so many of the people in this city being friends with their own Pokémon. Finally one night, Adel made a call to his brother, and asked him if he could catch him his own Pokémon; preferably something friendly that could keep him company. The next morning the transfer was through, and Adelmar was the proud best friend to his new Sandshrew. He named him Sadiki, a word from a foreign language meaning “faithful”, and the two quickly grew attached to each other. Today, the two are still living in Celadon City while Adel searches for employment.
