Backstory
Early Life
Born in Paldea, Anita was born into a fairly average family as far as status and wealth goes. Her needs were generally met growing up and her parents were able to get an average salary. Her mother’s job as an Ace Trainer, however, kept her traveling a lot. Often, it was just Anita’s father and her for longer stretches of time, as he worked at a local café.
Anita’s time was often spent at the café, when not with friends or at school. It was here, and at home, that her dad’s appreciation for food rubbed off on the young Anita. She was able to see how much it meant to him and his customers, along with their Pokémon, and it began to mean much to her as well.
Thus, as she grew up, Anita began to help out at the café when she had the time. Her dad was more than happy to teach her everything he knew about cooking, and she learned it very well. Customers began to recognize her work just as fondly as his, and their Pokémon felt the same. It certainly helped that Eevee, one of the family’s Pokémon, was always willing to try samples herself. Cooking became a major pastime for Anita, for all of the joy it brought her and others.
The Uva Academy
When she was of age, however, her competitive mother had her own ideas. She wanted her daughter to become a top-notch battler just like her, to see the joy of battles like she did. Anita showed a clear distaste for wanting to battle so hard, and her dad saw this, but her mom wouldn’t have it and eventually applied her to the Uva Academy, to discover the passion she was so desperate for her daughter to have.
Thus, Anita ended up at the Uva Academy, alongside Eevee who wouldn’t leave her side. While there, she ended up having a really rough time improving her battling skills, even though her other classes went swimmingly. She did a wonderful job learning about Pokémon and even picking up some handler and breeder knowledge. And this knowledge carried into her ability to cook a wider variety of foods on her own time. She just… couldn’t find the knack or passion for battling that she was supposed to be finding.
Thankfully she was able to make some great friends while at the academy, even if she wasn’t the best on the battlefield. She ended up spending a lot of time with Selene and Rio, two other students who were far better at battling than her. Often times, they’d help her with battle practice and she’d return the kindness with cooking and hospitality. The three of them ended up getting very close, and the other two ended up showing her what real passion and love for their crafts can look like.
The Life of a Chef
This realization made her more confident in herself and more willing to take charge of her life to follow her real passion: cooking! She dropped out of the Academy on her own accord, and left to go pursue a culinary career at a few different restaurants. All of them taught her new things about cooking, and she came to love her craft more and more. She even met more Pokémon along the way, who became additional partners on her team. While her mother was disappointed and hasn’t really let it go, her father was on her side and has continued to support his daughter’s dreams.
At one point, Anita felt as though she began to stagnate in her culinary expertise, suddenly wanting to learn even more than ever before. Almost out of nowhere, she immediately quit her job and made plans to head on the road. She was ready to learn from the best chefs in the world, and hopefully make a few new techniques out of the many mysteries, flora, and fauna of the world. She was ready to finally show her mother that passion could take many forms. Though, does she really need to worry what her mother thinks anymore, now that she’s on her own?
Only she can find the answer to that question, along with her culinary techniques. Though after a chance encounter with her old academy friends, she doesn’t have to be alone in that journey.
Anita’s Pokémon
Listed in the order they joined her team
Eevee
Eevee was one of Anita’s family/childhood Pokémon, and her closest partner since she was sent to Blueberry Academy. Eevee’s been through a lot with Anita and has seen her struggles, and just wants to be able to be a friend and confidant for her trainer no matter what. Even if that’s just being a little fluffy bud, she’s there.
Eevee is also the first to try Anita’s cooking, without fail. She’s been there even when her trainer was… inexperienced… in the kitchen, and has been able to help Anita get better and better through her tastes. This has also allowed Eevee to have a pretty sophisticated palate, understanding food and flavors to an unusually high degree.
Eevee’s small stature and speed are useful in battle, though she often uses this more to catch and reach things that Anita is unable to keep up with. She’s often Anita’s extended/third arm around the kitchen, and the two have been able to find a rhythm to their combined work after being together for so long. Eevee is hard working with Anita, though she also really enjoys being lazy and snoozing when she isn’t needed for work. She can often be found napping in Anita’s fluffy hair.
Eevee isn’t against evolution but hasn’t found the right spirit to do so yet (explaining why she isn’t an Espeon or Umbreon, let alone the other ones that require a stone). Maybe she’ll be ready during Anita’s coming adventures, but only time will tell.
Combee
During a camping trip, Anita wanted to try using the local fauna to make a sweet treat. She ended up being so successful that she attracted a stray Combee! Anita was happy to let the little bee try her snack, and from that point Combee was more than happy to stay by her side.
Combee is a very silly and jolly Pokémon, happily buzzing around when it’s meal time or when out having fun with the other Pokémon on the team. She’s very good at raising the spirits of the other trainers and Pokémon in the team, whether she’s trying to or not. Though this does mean she’s also pretty slow to notice when things are really wrong, and she has to be calmed down when needed.
Combee has a massive sweet tooth and will try to add sweet flavors to any and every dish. Even if the dish really doesn’t need it… thankfully Eevee keeps a good eye out for any wayward honey or similar ingredients. This does make Combee a wonder at locating more unique flavors in the wild. Always helpful for a sweet treat!
Lillipup
One night, when closing up the restaurant, Anita found a Lillipup rummaging through the trash for scraps. Seeing he was really hungry, she decided to give him the leftovers she was going to take home. The Lillipup was incredibly grateful for the meal! While eating, Anita decided to take the Lillipup home with her, and he ended up officially joining her team!
Anita quickly noticed that Lillipup’s nose was incredibly powerful, and he became great at locating specific ingredients while out in nature. He’s also keen at noticing irregularities, like when food is spoiling. His little nose has been incredibly lifesaving while on the road, and he’s happy to help.
Along with his nose, Lillipup as a whole is a very cautious Pokémon. He tends to stick closer to Anita when not asked to do things, and even then tends to make sure she’s within line of sight. That said, when he’s totally sure everything’s safe, or when Anita is nearby, he’s able to, finally, relax a little.
Ducklett
Ducklett and Anita had a rough first meeting, where the former initially swooped down to steal the latter’s groceries after a shopping trip. While Anita was outran (outflew, I guess), Eevee managed to cunningly catch up to her and stop her, retrieving Anita’s goodies. Ducklett then made a second attempt to grab her groceries…
This time, though, Anita was more prepared to take a stand. Instead of a battle, however, she somehow convinced Ducklett to wait and see what the food was going to be used for before it got stolen again. The Ducklett cautiously followed Anita home, and after a meal she was happy to stick around and join Anita’s team.
Ducklett is still a rowdy little Pokémon, but she channels that energy into helping keep Anita safe. She’s more battle-oriented than the other Pokémon in the party, and more willing to start fights instead of finding calmer solutions to problems. This also includes the party, where she has started squabbles on a few locations. (Often, she’ll steal a few bites from the others’ food…)
When it comes to it, though, she’s become attached to her new little family, and she’ll do what she needs to defend and be there for them!
