Elena was born and raised surrounded by the unearthly atmosphere of Laverre City in Kalos. Her parents had met each other at their jobs. Her father was a supervisor at the pokéball factory, and her mother was a tour guide for it. After four years of dating, they mistakenly created Elena, and her impending birth was what finally pushed them to go ahead and get married. After her birth, her parents both held onto their jobs to support the family, leaving Elena in the care of her maternal grandmother during the work days. Although her parents, of course, were loving and there for every other waking moment.
She had an average childhood, or at least as average of a childhood as one can get in a place as mystical as Laverre City. There was always something strange or mysterious to be explored, after all. As a kid, she'd play with her friends on the Laverre Nature Trail, and as a teen, she worked a part-time job at the local café. However, the highlight of growing up, as far as Elena's concerned anyway, was watching Valerie's fashion shows. She loved watching Valerie battle at the end of them. The way she took to the stage with her pokémon was enchanting, and her performances made Elena's heart leap.
Elena was able to participate as a model in one of Valerie's fashions shows once, much to her incredible excitement, and being able to interact with the gym leader directly only furthered her admiration for Valerie. She decided pretty soon after the event that she wanted to have her own gym so that she could inspire others just like Valerie had inspired her.
When Elena grew past her teen years she started to really focus on how to achieve her goals. The first step to everything, she figured, is doing what most trainers do and going on an adventure.
So here she is.

Wow. That guy really was here to start a pokémon journey. Was he going through some kind of mid-life crisis?
Elena followed the professor down into his lab, peering around the room curiously as they went. Once everyone was downstairs, Kakui released all of the starter pokémon that the region had to offer. Looking at the three lined up next to each other only confirmed her love for the little blue pokémon that she'd requested. Her mood from having to deal with Egan's previous hostility evaporated instantly as she heard the little bwark that the Popplio made.
Elena tucked the supplies that the professor handed her into her bag, and she squatted down to the little sea lion pokémon's level before rubbing its head gently as she spoke. "Hey there, cutie. It's nice to meet you," she cooed affectionately. "Let's get going, mkay? I'm sure you're just as excited as I am to do some traveling." The Popplio happily bwarked again in response before it found itself comfortably resting in Elena's arms. "Oh, and what do you think of the name Poppy?" she asked in a small, curious whisper only to receive another happy bwark.
And yes, she was naming it Poppy after that famous pop-singer in Lumiose City.
Elena stood again, smiling gleefully at the professor and ignoring Egan entirely. "Thank you, professor! I guess I'll go ahead and get going now since that's all I needed." She waved slightly before turning, heading up the stairs, and out the door to Route 1. Mabel gave a final farewell to the Rockruff by petting the ball of energy with her feelers before following after her trainer.
