Backstory
Despite being two years apart, Maxx and Tora were originally Starter Pokémon given out by Professor Rowan. When they learned to talk, this freaked him out and he released them back into the wild. They lived their lives around Sinnoh, where they tried to keep themselves a secret from humans, who rejected them for being Sapi. Over the time, they grew to be best friends, and they evolved together.
