Alexis Nordstram was many things: Smart, hard working, orderly, cleanly, and very proud.
There were many things Alexis Nordstram was not: Humble, weak, good with change, or one to give up.
And at that moment, in Camphoreon City, where he had gone to start life a new - Alexis Nordstram also found himself without a place to stay, money, or food. Which was a big change. A VERY BIG change.
Groaning, the twenty year old leaned against the wall of a building. In one hand was a suit jacket, neatly folded. His hair was still nice and neat, but it looked unclean. His clothes had a slight rumple. Today was day two without a room, and no money anywhere. Hunger was starting to gnaw angrily at his stomach.

"That actually sounds familiar," the girl answered, grinning. She opened her bag and brought out bread and other ingredients for sandwiches. To Nord, she gave a few fruits, including leppa and pecha berries. "The sandwiches will be ready in a few minutes. You can start on those in the meantime. Hmm...I wonder if I had a name that common, too," she murmured, busy fixing the ingredients together.
Casting the young man a funny look, Ty shook her head, answering slowly. "Noooo...unless by 'strict police patrols' you mean officers directing you to Pokemon Centers, where they have rooms to stay in for free. Closest thing to 'comprehensive shelter services', I guess, but I don't know exactly what that is."
Beaming at him, she remarked, "You haven't really roughed it out before, have you? Don't worry. If police were all that strict around here, we wouldn't have so many problems with Team Rocket. Speaking of them, were they they ones who robbed you?"

Free rooms in Pokemon Centers? Nord felt so stupid, he could only dumbly lead a pecha fruit to his mouth to be bitten in half and chewed thoughtfully. As soon as the flavors hit his tongue, he groaned happily and swallowed, "Thank you, Tymikko. You're very kind... I owe you."
Sighing, he nodded, "Yes, they were the ones. I took a business offering here. It stated free room, one free pokemon of your choosing, and a good salary. They hired me on the spot and well... The pokemon." Nord eyed the pokeball in his suit jacket's pocket. There was something wrong with that creature.
"So, I lost all my money in a matter of days, was kicked from the apartment, handed this pokemon, and... Well I lost most of my clothes, furnishings, personal data..." God, he'd been such a fool.

Food? Food! Snapping from his dazed thoughts, Nord grinned toothily and took the sandwich, "Thank you again. Thank you." And began to eat. It didn't take long for the two berries and the sandwich to be mere memories. Delicious, tasty memories.
Since his stomach was no longer rumbling heavily, he felt at peace. With the sun overhead, Nord wanted to desperately nap and maybe, when he woke, this nightmare would be over. However, that was childish, and Alexis Nordstram was Not-A-Child (trademark pending).
Sliding the basic pokeball from his pocket, he sighed deeply and pressed the button to enlarge it, "All right... Ready... Steady..." He tossed it, expecting it to thud uselessly to the ground.
Instead, a red light beamed from its open body. Yelping in surprise, Nord backpedaled while pointing at the revealed monster.
"I... Is this an Eevee? It's weird! Why is it black and white?" Was it a ghost? Or maybe it was poisonous?
