And here's some backstory:
Ever since he was young, Felix spent a ton of time around Pokemon, as his parents are both breeders. To their delight, he picked up both their love of breeding and the rare ability to understand the Pokemon language, and he recognized that talent in himself early. With the help of his parents, Felix quickly studied and trained to become a certified Pokemon breeder, getting full recognition at just 14 years old. He's done his best to make friends in high places and generally be well-liked by his peers and superiors among the National Breeder's Organization. These connections gave him access to the Kanto Elite Four, who accepted his proposal that he accompany their star trainer, Raphael d'Alcott, on his journey through the Kanto region and make sure his Pokemon are strong and well cared for. Felix hopes this will expose him to more people, places, and Pokemon as well as help boost his organization's reputation.

Okay, a little more backstory! This is why Felix has a Floatzel's soul in addition to his own--the soul is what gives him his Water typing, Floatzel-like personality, and ability to understand and speak to Pokemon. It might need some work, though, so suggestions are appreciated!

So when Felix was about eight, I imagine his parents' lifestyles led him outside a lot. Just outside Floaroma Town is a river where Floatzel and Buizel live, so I'm thinking he befriends a wild Floatzel who he nicknames "Waterfall", because "she's pretty like a waterfall". Waterfall likes Felix, treating him like a Buizel and playing with him as Floatzel are wont to do, and she also introduces Felix to her month-old Buizel pup, whom she allows Felix to nickname Cascade (Felix can't understand Pokémon yet, so Waterfall communicates most of this through gestures).
Then... something bad happens. Maybe Cascade falls into dangerous rapids so Waterfall jumps in after him to shield him with her body, but regardless Felix can't find her at their usual meeting spot. When he eventually does find her downstream, she has horrible gashes all over her body that haunt Felix to this day. Felix had just began learning Pokémon caretaking from his parents, but her injuries were well beyond the capabilities of an experienced vet. In any case, Waterfall dies to Felix and Cascade's grief.
But Waterfall, caring too deeply for Felix and her son, remains after death, her soul bonding with Felix so she could still watch over her son through him. Before she fades into his subconscious, she implores Felix to make him strong, but keep him safe.
After this, Felix realized that he could understand Cascade and his cries for mother, so as he comforts the little Buizel in the Floatzel language, he vows not only to protect Cascade, but to become the best breeder he can, so he doesn't have to watch any more Pokémon die.
