Biography
Thunder Kid and Happy Lover were inadvertently released by Tristan Taylor and Téa Gardner, who stumbled over their capsules while fleeing from a group of Gokibore. They followed Tristan and Téa into a tunnel, sliding into a beach.[1] Téa initially got a shock when she spotted them, but as Happy Lover and Thunder Kid struggled to pull their heads out of the sand, Tristan was unsure if they should run or help them. Téa then recognized Happy Lover as a piece from the Capsule Monsters game and asked if Tristan agreed that he was cute. Tristan agreed but said that same could not be said for the "stubby mutant lizard". Thunder Kid was taken aback, but Téa got Tristan to admit that he was just kidding, which cheered him up.[2]
Happy Lover and Thunder Kid warned Téa and Tristan as they saw Root Water emerging from the water and stepped forward to protect them. Thunder Kid tried to attack Root Water with its electricity, but was blocked by a wall of water. Root Water fired a number of blasts of water at Thunder Kid, leading Tristan to realize humans felt the same pain as their monsters. Téa encouraged Happy Lover to use its ability to heal Thunder Kid, which consequently healed Tristan. Since Root Water was able to block Thunder Kid's previous attack, Tristan came up with another strategy. This time when Root Water attacked Tristan pushed Thunder Kid into the air, putting the sun to his back, allowing him to blindside Root Water. The attack was successful, but Root Water evolved into High Tide Gyojin afterwards, leaving Thunder Kid and Happy Lover cowering in fear. High Tide Gyojin sucked the group into a twister, until they were rescued by Solomon Muto and Summoned Skull.[1]
