* ''[[WebVideo/PokemonLarimar Pokémon Larimar]]'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BmBUsxG_2k link]]): [[PresidentEvil President Sterling]] is the seemingly benevolent president of the Larimar region, but in actuality, he is the true leader of Team Prestige, an evil team who [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain wants to purge any and all immigrants of Larimar]]. Once a war veteran, Sterling once came home to Larimar after a war, [[StrangerInAFamiliarLand only to notice that things have changed]], and not in ways that he liked. Sterling was outraged by how Larimar was so willing to let outsiders into "his" region, so he tried everything in his power to keep them out. Sterling would [[HijackingCthulhu use legendary Pokémon to cause natural disasters all across Larimar]], only for Sterling to step in to [[EngineeredHeroics paint himself as a hero]]. Years later, Sterling would form Team Prestige and become the President, all under the ruse that he was against them. Under Sterling's guidance, Team Prestige would kidnap innocents, and use the Legendaries to cause disasters once again. Sterling uses his hatred for immigrants and what Larimar has done in order to empower [[MadeOfEvil Tawartagon]], and with the Legendary's help, he plans to spread its darkness to repel immigrants once and for all.
