Skids Lawrence- 53- league
Skids is a loving uncle with a untamed wandrlust, the feeling for adventure still holds him strongly. Despite his age, he's going strong but there's only so much his body can take and he might be having to learn this lesson the hard way.
Friends:
Making friends is very easy given how kind and friendly he is. Skids enjoys helping people smile or find some joy in something. This has led him to being a very goofy person in general. Even if you don't say your friends, if you're in trouble and Skids notices, he's gonna step into whatever is going on and trying to help you. This of course can lead to issues but his heart is in the right place.
Enemies:
Getting on Skids' bad side is possible, if you're cruel to your pokemon and don't care about the effect you cause on them or if you do that to people in general. You'll get on his bad list fast in those ways but the quickest way is to do this to people he knows or cares for. After all, he still has a grudge and hatred against his own brother-in-law for how they raised Henry along with their efforts to make him a trainer. Of course, some people might just hate him for how he acts. Which is fine, not everyone can keep up with a high energy individual that clearly pushes himself and doesn't know when to quit for his own safety an health.
Romance:

PLOTS: (Da fun part)

Let him try to cheer you up either from his attempt to be funny, helping you out with some practice, or even a pep talk. Skids encourages others and wants them to rise up to any of their challenges. If ya need some form of support, just ask Skids ^^
Trauma:
Skids isn't without his own issues sadly. He holds a lot of grief and resentment toward himself due to how he believes he failed two of his pokemon in his original journey in Hoenn. Some characters around his age might've heard of that one elite four battle years ago when some thirteen year old lost their start pokemon in the battle, yep that was Skids. Skids has lost two of his beloved teammates and it was something he never got over. He hasn't raised a pokemon from the Mightyena or Blaziken lines since and believes he's unable to properly raise either of them due to how deeply rooted his mindset is on the matter.
The dude has had multiple decades for this to stew in his head, every way it has he's blamed himself over every other variable. This will take multiple attempts to help fix due to how deep this goes, and depending on how people try to help him with it. Just telling him to get over it and accept it will do more harm than good. There's also the fact that Skids doesn't want to admit these issues.
This goes even farther than just two loved ones he never got over. Skids is okay in gym battles but the man has never taken up battling against hte Elite four. The man is reasonably still afraid of that place, afraid of repeating his mistakes, afraid of losing even more. IT goes to the point where he won't even step NEAR the building let alone go into it. When tournament battles for any other event show up, he's the same way. To him a tournament battle feels just like a elite four battle.
Old Friends and old Rivals:
Skids is a oldie, so in his youth it stands to reason that he made friends and enemies/rivals during that time. These people can be from Hoenn or even Kalos; where he was stuck having to spend many years due to a debt. This can go a little further and the friends or rivals having kids could even be invovled. Maybe they heard stories of battles between their parents and Skids? Or the strange jovial man with the very grumpy but scary salamence? There's a lot of potiental new bonds and old ones that can be created.
Maybe he pissed someone off so much, that person might try something now that he's back in Hoenn once they learn about this? After all, the reason that Skids' mightyena died was a rival battle gone wrong due to said rival getting fed up with losing against him and tried to have their pokemon lash out at skids.
