Pokemon: Not so Apathetic Adventure

Trainer Winston Snowberry hadn't earned a single badge even after months as a trainer. One could blame it on his ice type starter and type disadvantages, but he knew it was just his own irrationality. However, after seven years of inactivity, he decides to return to the battling grounds for ... college credit? Financial gain? And personal spite? What kind of journey is this? (I don't own Pokemon.)
