I guess it would be best just to indeed lightly imply it
Or, you know, you don’t have to imply it at all and just have normal relationship with your Pokémon.

❄Erika Olson❄
"Oh my..." Erika gawked as she slowly revealed the trapped plant-like Pokemon from the ice. It was definitely one she had never really seen before. Studying her Pokedex entry with extra scrutiny, she was quite amazed that she had quite possibly discovered a 100 million year old Pokemon. "Woah..." Erika said under her breath in awe, thinking about just how old this ice must be. Older than humans by far? That was a crazy thought.
Well regardless, Erika did absolutely feel the need to thaw this old fossil out and try to capture it. A Grass/Rock type (assuming Pokedex's give typing on initial scan?) had typing coverings that Erika's team presently did not have but more significantly, this Lileep was millions of years old possibly. How cool was that thought?
Now Lileep was a matchup that Erika really didn't know how best to approach it. Grass-types had a weakness to Chic and Sno but with Chic exhausted from the last battle, it definitely seemed like Sno was the better option. Rock-types had an advantage against Ice-types, right? Does Lileep learn a Rock-type move and at what point? Perhaps it was best to stick with Gibs, as he was certainly up to the challenge and he possessed no likely weakness to Lileep here.
"Alright.." Erika decided, giving Gib's Pokeball a toss out in front of her. "Gibs! This might be a tough one but I believe you can win. Use Sand-Attack to cover your approaches as you tackle Lileep down to tire it out." Gibs nodded, flexing as she showed off in front of Chic who seemed rather impressed by the display. "Gib, Gible!" He yapped with confidence, further impressing Chic who eagerly encouraged from the sidelines. "Torchic!"
..And so Erika had Torchic thaw Lileep out. Out of a sense of honor, Erika would give Lileep a chance to wake up before giving Gible the order to begin their strategy. Sand-attack to cover the approach and tackle Lileep to the ground, at least try to. Then he'd drop back and repeat. Erika had failed to anticipate the Rock-typing to be resistant to the Normal-type tackle but well.. she'll learn.

I'm not really speaking on behalf of the GM, more for myself I guess. I don't understand the importance of having your character in love with his starter Pokemon unless you wanted to explore that relationship beyond what the current players are doing (which is just the trainers treating their Pokemon like friends and pets). This is a light-heart adventure and a coming-of-age story and I feel like exploring past a normal relationship doesn't fit, like at all. Even if there may have been one character out of the thousands in the anime who loved his Pokemon, I imagine it was something that was lightly implied, at best, and probably more fan speculation.
I am sure there are plenty of other Roleplays on this site that will allow you to explore a relationship like that but I would very much prefer you keep it there and not here.

Oh darn. My Inkay .gif is, all of a sudden, deciding to grow three times its original size.
Edit: Well... Couldn't save the original but I found a new one that has a lot of extra blank space so it stretches out my Party list a bit.

@Joshua Tamashii Pretty much.
@PlatinumSkink
Wow. Another one, huh. Hmm... Lileep isn’t really a favorite but it is up to Erika and what she would do.

❄Erika Olson❄
Erika held her breath again as she watched the Pokeball shake once, twice... thrice. Click "Whew..." Erika sighed as she allowed herself to gently fall back onto her butt, sitting for a moment now that one of the more intense encounters she had was over. Inkay was very close to hitting Erika with some type of an attack and more importantly, her teammate, Chic, was really hurt from that encounter. Erika glanced over and found Chic looking back already, as if expecting another command but Erika knew what she had to do. "Oh Chic, girl, you did great! Come here!" Erika patted on her lap and much to Chic's delight, she came hurrying over. "Torchic!" She exclaimed as she found a spot on Erika's lap and nestled up to Erika's torso.
As the two of them took a moment, Erika heard the miner from earlier speak. Cooling down now, she couldn't really blame any of the miners for not warning her earlier. She should have been careful. "Thanks but I couldn't have done it without this Chic-ity here!" Erika replied, scratching Chic's warm feathers for a moment. "I should have been careful, too. It is, after all, a wild Pokemon."
Erika allowed the two of them a few more minutes to take a break and while idly scratching Chic's feathers, she wondered about Inkay. She had never honestly seen one before and really had no idea about the Pokemon. Maybe once she finishes here, she should give the Professor a call to ask about her team? It might help. Also for potential pointers? Maybe.
"Alright, Chic, you okay if we continue with a bit more mining? We will take a nice long, deserved back after. Promise." Chic, encouraged but tired, nodded and was ready to continue.
So they continued. Erika chiseled away with a pickax as Chic used Ember. Eventually they found a green gem, which Erika wasn't sure what it was but it looked nice. She planned on getting it appraised later. However she still wasn't done, finding the strength to carry on and continue mining.
@PlatinumSkink
Aww skinky, u da best.
Anyway, it is good to know that Inkay packs a punch. Now Time to continue mining. Erika and Chic could probably mine the big stone and I had thought once or twice more because of the exact same reason.
Edit: Also just realized that Chic has Blaze. Which if she would have used ember again (something I was thinking), she would have likely KO'd Inkay. x.x Thank goodness I went straight for the Pokeball.
..Aaaaandd... I decided to have a bit of fun with Inkay. Make her an initial challenge to train and battle with since I don't want it too easy with Foul Play. Kay's personality will be fun to develop. Also got around to Chic's personality which I kind of stumbled upon.

Whew, sorry for the slight delay on that one. I've been fighting some writers block recently.
I know the feeling x.-
