**NERVOUS SWEATING** HI OMG

[Creator-Kami]

!!!! I never even realised Caneron doesn't have a partner. Wow that does make the ground ripe for theories

I might even put something abt Cam and Lucille in the fic now seeing as you've inspired me...

Well, if you're interested...

Spoiler

I theorize that, like Theo and the main character (who will be referred to as Pluto from this point forward, as Pluto was my headcanon main character), Lucille and and Cameron grew up together as rivals. But, while Theo was always the follower in his relationship with Pluto, Lucille was always the follower with Cam. While they both started with Pokemon that only have Peck as a starting damage-dealing move, Cam's Volchik had type resistance, while Lucille's Chicoatl, had type weakness. We theorize that Cam grew incredibly close to Lucille, his feelings for her developing into romantic interest. Cam grew stronger as a trainer and won the Championship, while Lucille grew stronger as a researcher and scientist.

Then, twenty years before the events which take place in the story, Kellyn came over from the Almia region and saved Lucille's life from from rampaging Pokemon and swept her off her feet. Of course, Cam was upset... But due to his usual passive attitude, he backed off of his feelings for Lucille's sake. His feelings were still quite obvious, and eventually Kellyn picked up on it. Kellyn is noticeably possessive and tends to snap at people who attempt to come between him and Lucille. And based on how intimidated Cam seems by Kellyn (such as clearly not wanting Pluto to be exploring the dangerous Epsilon island but "not being able to defy Kellyn's orders" or when Kellyn snaps at him for not telling him about Lucille's possible involvement and Cam stutters noticeably...), I theorize that Kellyn bit his head off and told him he was just causing Lucille distress so he should stop having any involvement with Lucille. So... To escape those feelings and for Lucille's sake, Cam left the region. Lucille was pretty hurt, not understanding why he just up and left one day without a single word of reason. So, to get her mind off of the sadness, she began looking for a big project to work on as a distraction... And wound up getting involved with Larkspur Industries.

Meanwhile, Cam had attracted the attention of scouting agents of Interpol when he won the Championship. When they approached him, similarly, he accepted as a means of getting his mind off of losing the person he had deep feelings for. But, through Interpol, he met a vibrant person who helped him forget the past. He fell in love and married, and had a child, Theo, eleven years before the current events of the game. But... Due to complication with the birth, Cam lost his spouse. It was then that he was told he would be sent back to Tandor to investigate shady business involved with Larkspur Industries. After all, he was already familiar with the region and could investigate much easier than many other agents. So, with a heavy heart after losing his partner, he took his very small son to Bealbeach to live while investigating.

But he soon discovered that his childhood best friend and love interest was working closely with the group he was sent to investigate... And one day, when he was there looking for evidence, the plant engaged its emergency meltdown sequence. And Cam tried to save Lucille, but... It was too late to do so. Of course, Kellyn blamed Cameron. After all, he suspiciously returned just before Lucille vanished. Kellyn grew fixated on finding his partner, to a psychologically unhealthy extent. And when he stopped caring for Pluto and sent them to Moki town to live with his aunt, Cam took his son there to live and watch over them. After all, he might not have been able to save Lucille, but he certainly wasn't going to let her child grow up without a real father figure in their life.

So, essentially, he started raising Pluto alongside Theo. And much to his delight, Pluto and Theo developed a relationship that really reminded him of his relationship with Lucille. It was almost bittersweet to him.
