When Bruce was younger he aspired to become a Pokémon Ranger in the Hoenn branch, and he officially joined their ranks at the age of 19. His incredible work ethic and drive put him at the top of his class, and he quickly became experienced in the field, though he had little time for friends. To Bruce, his work was simply something he was to excel in, and nothing more. The academy gave him a Bulbasaur to begin his work, which he named Abram. His career took him across Pokéarth to every continent as he excelled in every task handed to him. It was during these travels he met Melissa. In every continent he would meet Melissa, who was a Pokémon researcher discovering the fossils of Pokémon left behind in history. She took note of his hard work and talent, and he of her beauty and intellect. She was kind to others, gentle, thoughtful, and loving. As fate would have it they fell in love, and after three consecutive attempts, Bruce finally accepted Melissa's marriage proposal at the age of twenty four. She gave new meaning to his work. Bruce now saw his duty to protect both people and Pokémon as a personal responsibility, which catapulted him further into his work: he was officially recognized as the National Leader. For a number of years, Bruce and Melissa lived happily in their own little paradise. Sadly, paradise didn't last forever. Melissa, who was with child, was rushed to the hospital for early delivery. Bruce grasped his wife's hand as she gave birth to a baby boy... but life ended for both the child and its mother that night. Wracked with grief, Bruce spent the next few years in temporary retirement, giving up his position as Head of the Rangers. The memories of his lovely wife plagued him, and he couldn't bring himself to protect others when he was so helpless to save his wife. Eventually, he picked up his badge once more, trying to salvage his broken life. He began again, starting from the bottom, working himself through each day and living life as he had learned it from Melissa. He was never truly over her, but he always prayed for someone to come along and end his nightmares. OTHER > Because he is getting on in years, he pretty much calls anyone he meets 'kid.' Also, in his hometown of Slateport City, people have started to name him 'Old Man.' While he doesn't think himself old, he embraces this name and often introduces himself as such. >> The irony between that fact and the fact his Pokémon are all ancient goes without saying. > When his wife passed, it took two whole years for him to be open to social functions and friendships again. He doesn't think himself ready for any romantic involvement, but he could be persuaded if he found the right gal. > Melissa's Pokémon became his after her passing. They give him company, but also bring memories that haunt him. > Bruce was once the National Leader, the President and Leader of all Rangers across every nation. However when he resigned the position was filled by someone else. He didn't ask for his position back when he rejoined, but instead is a living Legend among the Rangers. He refuses to be praised for such a title, because his motivation had been taken from him. > Years of work: 19------------------------Joined the Rangers 20-22--------------------Hoenn Leader 22-24--------------------Regional Travel 24-28--------------------Ranger Leader 28-32--------------------Early Retirement 32-40--------------------Rejoined Rangers 40-44--------------------Regaining Lost Rank POKEMON  Abram, male Venasaur Overgrow Vine Whip ▸ Sleep Powder ▸ Take Down Synthesis ▸ Sludge Bomb ▸ Solar Beam  Dakky, male Aerodactyl Rock Head Ice Fang ▸ Fire Fang ▸ Thunder Fang Wing Attack ▸ Take Down ▸ AncientPower  Rampa, female Rampardos Mold Breaker Headbutt ▸ Take Down ▸ AncientPower Zen Headbutt ▸ Sandstorm ▸ Head Smash  Omami, female Omastar Shell Armor Rollout ▸ Mud Shot ▸ AncientPower Ice Beam ▸ Rock Blast ▸ Hydro Pump  Crado, male Cradily Suction Cups Constrict ▸ Ingrain ▸ Confuse Ray AncientPower ▸ Rock Tomb ▸ Energy Ball IN PC None.
