As a young kidnapped young girl, Valerie had spend her life in the hands of Team Rocket grunts who mistreated her and worked her into hard labor until she was old enough to work at a Strip Club, primary as a bartender, but secondary a dancer. Never getting paid enough for her hard work, she depended on sleeping with clients to pay for her Pokémon's hospital bill.
She has many friends who protect her and support her, often wanting to help her, but never accepts it and goes along her days needing to get her Pokémon treated.
A birthday party for a client had started the sparks of her new life. With the birthday boy, who didn't ask to be in the strip club, things were certainly different between the two. Nothing was sexual, but they understood each other and complimented each other. Red granted her the life she was thriving for and saved her from abuse. She wanted to build up her life again and become stronger, so she went on a journey through Johto to maybe find Red and repay him for everything he did for her. She wanted to become stronger and stronger, but not only strong for herself, but strong so that she could feel worthy of Red saving her life.
