Elizabeth's Rotom

Elizabeth's Rotom was the third Pokémon caught by Elizabeth Storybook in Alola, and her fifth overall.

History
Elizabeth first met Rotom while walking to a malasada shop in Hau'oli City. It was lying on the ground, injured and sick when she picked it up and took it to a Pokémon center. Initially it was afraid to tell what happened, out of fear of bringing shame to its former Trainers, but soon revealed that it belonged to an extremely abusive family. Rotom revealed that they touched it inappropriately, beat it constantly, blamed it for everything, rarely gave it food, and forced it to play with their two (toddler) daughters, and eventually threw it out. After it was taken in, one night, a stranger broke into the house and started touching Rotom inappropriately while pinning it down on the floor. From that point onward, it became very fearful of anybody but Elizabeth or Nurse Joy seeing it in its normal form, although it has lessened greatly over time.

Elizabeth took care of Rotom without catching it for a long time until it saw its long lost friend, a Ditto, and then she offered to catch both of them, to which they both accepted and allowed themselves to be captured by her. It has lived with he ever since.

Personality and characteristics
As a result of its past, Rotom is a very shy Pokémon, becoming nervous in the presence of people other than Elizabeth and is reluctant to come out of its Pokédex in front of others except for its Trainer or Nurse Joy, similar to how a person would react if somebody saw them without their clothes.

Since Elizabeth took it in, it has formed a very strong bond with her that has gotten closer over time. It has a close relationship with a Ditto and a Misdreavus that are also owned by her. Rotom also tends to frequently switch between being in the Pokédex and being in its normal form, coming out of it to eat food, use moves and battle, and go to sleep, as it prefers sleeping in normal form. Unlike most others of its species, this particular Rotom is not interested in causing mischief and does not like to posess electrical appliances, except for the Pokédex, a big relief to Elizabeth. In addition, it is highly suspectible to electrical overcharge, sometimes getting it several times a day, and is also revealed to be allergic to soy.
