Character Backstories:
While Jamir admires Marta he underestimates himself, he yearns to become stronger physically as well mentally for several reasons; his trust in Marta, to protect Merle and his new family, self-hatred for letting his mom get taken and for revenge on Team Rocket, as much as he’ll deny it.

Marta takes pride in coaching her family to better themselves while valuing the importance of knowing one’s limits and patience. She worries for Jamir the most for pushing himself too hard as she suffered the same experience first hand.
