The child of hard-luck career fighters, Wrex was left on his own after his parents' tragic suicide pact cut his childhood short. While they didn't leave any reason, he knew why... and that reason fueled him from that day forward. Foster homes feared him, schools dreaded his arrival, and soon he made an immense splash at the 'prestigious' Everstone Preparatory School, and founded the massive poison-type-only gang known as the Sikkboys. When a special tournament meant to send the top team to the Poke-Combat Academy for additional training was put into place, everyone knew the outcome before the fighting started... and in short order, the Sikkboys arrived on the scene, Wrex at the head.
