Biography
Prior to the most recent chapters, much of Machine's life before the Red Star Academy was not known. However, after saving Yellow from a rock slide inside of Mt. Moon, Machine revealed that he was not everything he seemed. He revealed that his real name was Crimson Emerald until he got it changed a few years ago to Machine. He also revealed that he is related to Professor Birch, Ruby Emerald (the current Pokemon Champion of Hoenn), and Sapphire Emerald. Although not proud of revealing this to Yellow, he was told to only reveal this information to the person he most cared about. At the time, that person was Yellow.

According to Machine, he changed his name to what it is now because his family attached a metal arm over his left arm after something terrible happened to him, notably making him the way he is now. Machine blames his family for this tragedy, however, he did not reveal anything about the arm or what it could do, besides the fact that it has incredible powerful as shown when he broke large boulders with a single strike. He later revealed that his leg was also made from prothestic metal because of a beast that dwelled deep inside of his body of the same name as the "Red Star" within his body. It has finally reawkened and has even enabled to prematurely evolve all of his Pokemon at once.

Later on, when Machine revealed a bit more of his past to Yellow (and then later to the rest of his friends), much more is discovered about Machine. Machine, called at Crimson at the time, was attacked by the Reddosutā Shikaku when he was young. The Reddosuta Shikaku (translated to mean, Red Star Assassins) were a group of villains who rivalved against Team Rocket when Machine was very young.

It was led by Emerald family's cousin, Pulse Emerald. Pulse, although he loved his family, wanted more power than he was originally given as a Pokemon Trainer. He eventually created these Red Star Assassins Pokemon Team that would take jobs for high amounts of Poke Dollars that they didn't reveal to be that much until their job was finished. However, if they couldn't pay what they owed to them, the family that asked them to help were annihilated and wiped off from the planet. This eventually came to haunt him when Machine's family was the ones who requested their help. Beyond his better judgement, Pulse rejected the job realizing that it wouldn't be right to kill his own family for profit. However, the Reddosutā Shikaku didn't care for what Pulse had to say.

Pulse tried to stop them from completing the job but, in the process, Pulse was also killed off. A new leader eventually stepped up to lead the group, taking Pulse's name, identity, and masochistic personality. After a large battle with Team Rocket, the Reddosutā Shikaku were foolishly eliminated, cutting their numbers greatly. Because of this, Machine and his family thought that they were safe from these Assassins.

However, a few years after Ruby became the newest Pokemon Champion of Hoenn, he came back to warn and help his family escape from these ruthless villains. Even though he hated it, Machine and his sister, Sapphire, went along with Ruby's plan until they were attacked again by the Assassins. Ruby called in Lance, the Pokemon Champion of Hoenn and prominent member in this anti-Reddosutā Shikaku organization called, the Dragons. Lance, just before Ruby destroyed the building that the Reddosutā Shikaku were attacking, saved Machine and Sapphire taking them away to Johto for awhile. Still, this malicious group, attacked Lance, Sapphire, and Machine once more until Lance was able to let Sapphire and Machine escape. Machine escaped to Johto and enlisted into the Red Star Academy built in Red Star Town in order to gain a new life and even decided to make a living as a Pokemon Trainer, losing all contact with Hoenn, Lance, and his little sister.

His dream was almost crushed by the time he enrolled at the Red Star Academy because he could clearly see corruption and hatred brewing in everyone's hearts. He soon met Hakel Fury and they were both tormented by bullies and other people who wanted to treat them as if they were garbage just because they could. Sharing the same inner hatred (although Hakel didn't reveal it until Graduation Day), they became best friends and even moved in as roomates together.

Because of all of this, Machine skipped school most of his years while somehow still keeping his rank in the school slightly above average, picked fights with some of the toughest kids in the Red Star Academy when he couldn't even fight, and even forced Hakel to skip with him on some days. Machine and Hakel eventually graduated together and they even received their own first Pokemon together, forgetting the bad memories they had in the Academy. They soon met Kusa Tenpi and continued on with their journey, with Kusa joining their team.
