Other Recurring Characters

Nurse Joy

A family of nurses found all throughout the world.

Cool Old Lady: The elderly Nurse Joy from Shalour City certainly is this.
Dressed to Heal: As per canon.
Fantastic Racism: Averted. Misty and Professor Oak specifically state that they can be counted to not be bigots and fall into anti-Bloodliner hysteria.
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: As per canon.
Shared Family Quirks: It's on purpose. All Nurse Joys practice saying the same line everyday for two hours with which to greet visitors to the Pokemon Centre.

Officer Jenny

A family of police officers found all throughout the world.

Badass Creed: They follow three general life rules: "Serve the public trust, protect the innocent and uphold the law."
Canine Companion: They traditionally use Growlithe as their main partners.
The Commissioner Gordon: Giordanna "Gio" Jenny is this for Gligarman.
Fantastic Racism: Averted. Misty and Professor Oak specifically state that they can be counted to not be bigots and fall into anti-Bloodliner hysteria.
Friendly Enemy: Ito Jenny of Catallia City turns out to be Childhood Friends with Neko Hachi, the Black Arachnid. They both made a childhood promise to become famous, and Neko decided to achieve Fame Through Infamy by becoming a Karmic Thief. He also encourages Ito to live up to their promise and become the best police officer she can be.
Hero Antagonist: Ito Jenny of Catallia City is this in the Black Arachnid Gaiden to the title character. To a lesser extent also the Vermillion Jenny who tries to put an end to the Squirtle Squad's antics.
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: As per canon.
Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: Ito Jenny is this to the Black Arachnid. While she's saddened that her friend has taken the path of a criminal, ultimately resolves to live up to the promise herself and become the best police officer she can be, even if it means that she'll have to arrest her friend one day.

Don George

A family of training club owners found all throughout the world.

Fantastic Racism: Averted. Misty and Professor Oak specifically state that they can be counted to not be bigots and fall into anti-Bloodliner hysteria.
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: As per canon.

Paul

A trainer from Sinnoh who, for some reason decided to start his journey on Kanto. He only seeks the strongest Pokemon, and has a mindset of winning at all costs.

Achilles' Heel: As a trainer, he tends to gain momentum every time he wins a bout against an opponent, which he uses to overpower them. Stopping that momentum can easily throw him off and leave him open for a counterattack. Gary uses this to his advantage during their Indigo rematch, and it contributes to his defeat.
Adaptational Early Appearance: Ash meets him in Vermillion City, far earlier than he did in canon.
Adaptational Villainy: An interesting example, because his actual character doesn't change that much. But considering Pokémon have a higher chance of getting seriously injured or even killed this time around, his callous attitude comes off as even worse. At one point, he actually insults Lt. Surge for not wanting to risk his Raichu being horribly maimed by a super-powered Razor Leaf attack. He's also not very concerned about potentially killing wild Pokémon.
Adaptational Wimp: Justified, since he's not as far along as his canon counterpart, and therefore doesn't have as much experience.
Age Lift: His age is now 15.
Almighty Janitor: No, really, at least initially. Paul tended to lag behind in gym badges when compared to Ash and Gary, but he is depicted as comparable to Ash and Red and superior to Gary in skill, managing to pass the four move threshold before Ash and Red did. As in canon, Paul specifically had less badges than Ash when they first met because he retained his canonical issue with cheap badges and thus did not challenge the Cerulean Gym, though by chapter 41 he had gotten ahead of Ash and Red with eight badges specifically because they took time to train before they made the attempt.
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: As per canon, he's this. He takes great pride in his victories and crushing his opponents, and when he loses, he attributes it either to dumb luck or his Pokémon not being up to par.
Ascended Extra: Nidoking was a minor member of Paul's team only seen once in canon, but in Reset he's appeared fairly frequently.
Calling Your Attacks: Manages to be creative by being discrete. By snapping his fingers, he could command his Grotle to use Stealth Rock without his opponent realizing it.
Catchphrase: His favorite word: "Pathetic".
Curb-Stomp Battle: He completely dominates his first round Tag Tournament opponents. And Chapter 36 implies that he delivered a pretty bad one to Gary Oak.
Dishing Out Dirt: His Nidoking. He also had briefly an Onix that he released after losing in the Fuchsia Gym, and in the Vermillion Gym he had a Dugtrio. By the time of the Fuchsia Tag Tournament, his starter has become a Torterra.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He apparently misses his late mother.
Everyone Has Standards:
- He might be a total jerk, but he's no homophobe. Wallace's sexuality does not diminish his skill in Paul's eyes.
- Paul is willing to give people more slack when they prove to him they can back up their talk. While still having issues with Erika, Paul notably gave her more respect internally once she began curb stomping Morana (notably stopping insinuating the ban was to avoid losing, which she proved to him that she did not have reason to fear).
- Paul's issue with weak gyms remains from canon. He has a notable disdain for the Cascade Badge due to how weak the gym leaders were, and fails to see it as an accomplishment to be won, and thus he deliberately avoided competing for one.
- Judging by his reaction to Ash being identified as a Bloodliner during the confrontation with Mewtwo, he appears to have no issue with Bloodliners in themselves, accepting Ash's confirmation that he doesn't use his abilities in regular Pokémon matches.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:
- Minor example, but when confronting Ash about picking up another 'groupie/cheerleader' when he sees that Iris has joined Ash and Misty, Ash simply counters that Paul cannot understand that he might keep someone around because he likes having a friend rather than because he needs someone to tell him how great he is.
- He's also rather surprised to learn that Mega Evolution is triggered by The Power of Friendship, thinking that it makes no sense.
Extra-ore-dinary: He has a Magnemite.
Foil: As per canon he's one to Ash.
- He's an interesting foil to Red as a foil to Ash. Both of them are less friendly and close to people and their Pokemon than Ash is, but with Paul it's because Paul has no interest in doing so and thinks being friendly is a weakness. Red meanwhile does care for his Pokemon and has several standards about what it means to be a trainer, but his social awkwardness extends to them and doesn't bond with them as fast as Ash does.
Green Thumb: Like in canon his starter was a Turtwig, which evolved to Torterra by the time of the Tag Tournament.
The Grinch: According to Reggie, he doesn't like Christmas very much.
An Ice Person: Has a Jynx and a Cloyster.
Jerkass: Comes across as even worse than in the anime, considering that Pokémon battles are more dangerous in this timeline and thus at more risk of serious injury. Unlike in canon, this attitude is not tolerated by anyone, not even Ash.
Jerkass Has a Point: That being said, he had legitimate grounds to be annoyed at Erika's ban on male challengers, due to the problems it caused to many trainers.
Kick the Dog: Releasing his Raichu and not even bothering to heal it was a serious dick move.
Life Drain: By the Indigo League, his Torterra can use Giga Drain.
Making a Splash: After the Tag Tournament, he fishes for a Magikarp he plans to train to a Gyarados, along with a Shellder that's already a Cloyster by the time of the Indigo League.
Mind over Matter: Has a Drowzee/Hypno and Jynx. Briefly also had a Mr. Mime that he released after losing in the Fuchsia Gym.
Misplaced Retribution: It's implied that him picking a fight with Ash was partially to vent his anger at Erika for not accepting his challenge. It's further implied that he had previously taken out his anger on hapless wild Pokémon before (including a Golduck that Misty caught).
Missing Mom: His mother died some time before his first appearance.
Never My Fault: He blames his Raichu for her poor performance against Misty and Iris and casts her out, ignoring the fact that he made her battle when she hadn't fully recovered yet.
Perpetual Frowner: Of course. Misty actually notes this as one of the traits she dislikes of him.
Pet the Dog: For all his jerkass attitude, he wasn't above giving his Nidoking a reward for a job well done after a Gym, in the form of a treatment package including nail trimming, among other things.
Playing with Fire: A Magby, presumably his canon Magmortar, is mentioned in Chapter 31. By Indigo it's already a Magmar.
Poisonous Person: His Nidoking. He also has a Seviper, which he uses against Gary during their first battle.
The Power of Trust: His philosophy in a nutshell is that a Pokémon should trust their training to know best, as in, trusting their trainer to bring them the victory they couldn't get by themselves.
Psychic Powers: He has a Drowzee/Hypno and a Jynx, and used to own a Mr. Mime.
The Rival: He acts more as Ash's main rival this time around, instead of Gary. Their rivalry is even more intense now than in canon.
Shock and Awe: Has a female Pikachu. By the time he arrives in Fuchsia City, he's evolved her to Raichu.
The Social Darwinist: As usual, he believes that only strong Pokémon are worthwhile.
Shed Armor, Gain Speed: During his Indigo League match against Gary, his Cloyster uses Shell Smash.
Sore Loser: Downplayed. He wasn't happy over losing the Fuchsia Tag Tournament, but channeled the frustration to win a Gym Badge later. In the Indigo League, while he partially chalks up his loss to Gary to bad luck (due to the battlefield changing), he acknowledges Gary's growth as a trainer since the last time they faced each other.
Trash Talk: Engages in this while fighting the Hiker, considering him a weak opponent and not worth his time.
The Unapologetic: Apparently he hasn't apologized in years until Janine forced him.
Valley Girl: Thanks to Dexter hacking it and giving it a personality upgrade, his Pokédex now talks like one, and he can't stand it, but neither can he get rid of it.
Villain Respect: "Villain" may be a strong term to describe him, but he is capable of acknowledging Ash when he does something impressive, with his noting that Ash had handled Lilo's Mudsdale better than anyone could have expected being the main example.
Worthy Opponent: He's acknowledged Red and Ash as this by Chapter 41, noting it will be a lot more satisfying to defeat them at Indigo than the more powerful Koga. He does not feel the same way towards Gary and doesn't consider beating him an accomplishment. While participating in the Indigo League, Paul makes it to his third round without feeling like he's had to face any 'idiot' trainers to achieve victory, showing a degree of respect for his opponents so far, and even acknowledges Gary's growth after seeing him beat Melissa in the Top 32 and when he loses to him in the Top 16.
- His Torterra has this for Ash's Servine after he lost to her, and it's also hinted to be mixed with a degree of attraction.

Looker

Appears in: Looker Interlude | Ultima Interlude | Yancy Interlude (voice only)

A top-rated agent from the International Police. Currently on the trail of an important case.

Interpol Special Agent: As per canon.

Sir Aaron's Lucario

Appears in: Main Story | Sir Aaron & Lucario Gaiden | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020

Sir Aaron's partner during his lifetime. He was sealed inside a staff and guarded for thousands of years in Rota until the present time.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Inverted. In this timeline, instead of being forcibly sealed in the staff without knowing why, he willingly allows himself to and is fully aware of the reason.
Adaptational Early Appearance: He's freed from the staff during the Mewtwo movie arc in Ash's first trip throughout Kanto, far earlier than his respective movie.
Aura Vision: Like Sir Aaron, he's able to use aura as a sixth sense to perceive his surroundings.
Bare-Fisted Monk: Part Fighting-type.
Dodge the Bullet: Can use Detect.
Extra-ore-dinary: Part Steel-type, and can use Metal Claw.
Flash Step: Can use Extreme Speed to this effect.
Foil: Acts as one for Mewtwo during their confrontation. Their fighting styles contrast heavily against each other, with Lucario using his varied yet relatively limited skills to dodge Mewtwo's more powerful attacks and land a few hits, while being driven to fight by the promise he made to Sir Aaron of helping his descendant when the time came.
Healing Hands: He's been shown using Heal Pulse on Sir Aaron when he's injured or sick.
Kame Hame Hadoken: Can use Aura Sphere.
Playing with Fire: Can use Blaze Kick.
Sealed Good in a Can: Remains sealed inside Aaron's staff, until he's freed when Ash gets captured by Mewtwo.
Weak, but Skilled: While he's not weak by his species' standards, he definitely fits this against the exponentially more powerful Mewtwo, and uses it to his advantage to hold his own against him.
Wolverine Claws: Can use Metal Claw.

Professor Jared Kowaski

Appears in: Main Story (mentioned)

An oft-mentioned Professor who specializes in Gyarados. He may have had history with manly men trying to adapt to mundane solutions.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: His knowledge of Gyarados behavior is second to none, but he has no other skills worth mentioning.
Canon Immigrant: Originates from the webcomic Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. Given some talk the author had in the Pokemon Spacebattles thread, it is likely Cross got permission from the writer of the webcomic to have Jared be mentioned.
The Ghost: Has not appeared in the flesh in the story.
No Sense of Direction: Apparently he ended up on Pinkan Island in the Orange Islands, while trying to go to Dandelion Island. Dandelion Island is in Sinnoh, which is well to the north of the tropical Orange Islands.

Santa Claus

Appears in: Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2016 (Dream Sequence) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2018 | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2019 (mentioned) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020

Giver of gifts around the world.

Adaptational Badass: Compared to his portrayal in the canon anime, he definitely qualifies.
Arch-Enemy: To MissingNo, though Santa seems to treat him more like a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis.
Badass Santa: Can fight with MissingNo where Ash and his Pokemon found that MissingNo could No-Sell them.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Assumed his iconic form at Gastly's suggestion to be more "family-friendly" with the changes of society.
Glitch Entity: He groups himself, MissingNo and ZZAZZ together, so he's definitely this.
Humanoid Abomination: He brainwashes people to think that they got the gifts he made, and is related to MissingNo. A lot more benign though.
Santabomination: It's all but stated that he's the the same type of entity as MissingNo and ZZAZZ.

The Squirtle Squad

Appear in: Main Story (Thinker) | Squirtle Squad Gaiden | Bloodliner Hunter Interlude (Joker) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2018 (Scout) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020 (Heavy)

Disney Death: They were presumed dead in the cave in, but they all managed to make it out alive.
Does Not Like Spam: Scout enjoys chocolate bars, but hates coconut-filled ones.
Everyone Has Standards: They might be pranksters and thieves, but not actively evil or malicious, and draw the line to causing serious injuries to their victims. They even try to save the group who attempted to ambush them in the underground route when the cave in occurs.
Game-Breaking Injury: Scout ends up with an injured leg during the cave in, and by the time of the Holiday Special 2018 he still walks with a limp.
I Shall Taunt You: Joker is especially fond of this.
Mythology Gag: Scout was eventually found by the Fire Department, and now helps in putting out fires.
Named by the Adaptation: The four remaining members are given nicknames: Scout, Heavy, Joker and Thinker. Ash's Squirtle himself is referred to as "Boss".
Never Found the Body: Ash's Squirtle was separated from the rest during the cave in, and believes he's the only one who survived. As it turns out, however, the others managed to make it out alive, but ended up being separated from each other.
Reformed Criminal: All of them, but Joker and Scout in particular, since the latter is now part of the Fire Department and the former ended up working for the very same Officer Jenny who frequently crossed swords with them.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Heavy is the shortest member, but also the strongest physically. He's able to take on a Poliwrath in a physical fight and win.
The Smart Guy: Thinker fills this role, as he's usually the one who comes up with the ideas for their raids.
Taking the Bullet: Thinker takes a Wild Charge/Bite for their leader.
Trademark Favorite Food: Heavy seems to like eating energy bars.
True Companions: Of course they were this. To the point the others chose to save their leader over themselves during the cave in.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Scout and Thinker are this, according to their leader.
Wrestler in All of Us: Heavy uses an Airplane Spin on the Poliwrath Boss to take him down during a brawl.
Worthy Opponent: Heavy sees the Vermillion Jenny's Growlithe as this. The feeling isn't mutual, though.

The Storytelling Gastly

A Gastly who visits the Maiden's Peak during the End of the Summer Festival, working to keep old legends alive and earn a few bucks on the way.

Insistent Terminology: He's not a con-artist, he's an interactive storyteller.

This Pokemon is said to be the creator of the known universe. At the beginning of the story, he sends Ash back in time so he can stop Cyrus from destroying reality.

The Chooser of the One: By virtue of saving Ash from the reality collapse and tasking him with the mission to stop Cyrus from causing it again.

Our Dragons Are Different: Part Dragon-type.
Super Mode: It's the first known Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

Mewtwo

Appears in: Main Story | Mewtwo Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2018 | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021

An artificially-engineered Pokémon created from the cells of Mew, and designed to be the strongest ever.

The Atoner: Like in canon, he decides to leave in peace at the end of his arc, once he sees the error of his ways.
Berserk Button: Suggesting he might be affiliated with or working for Team Rocket is an excellent way to piss him off. He also doesn't like being pitied, or compared with beings or things he considers as lesser.
Clone Angst: He has to deal with the fact he's nothing but a copy of Mew, an experiment to create the ultimate weapon.
Composite Character: Takes elements from the original and dubbed version of the anime, as well as other incarnations like Origins, and the Special/Adventures manga.
Didn't Think This Through: When confronted about his plans to revive Amber, Casey Snagem points out how even if he can recreate Amber's memories, the new Amber won't be the same he knew.
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: If he perceives his enemies are pitying him, he becomes extremely angry.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He clearly loved Amber, to the point he still wants to live happily with her.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He doesn't understand how the powers used by trainers and Pokémon together work. Taken to its logical conclusion when he attempts to use a Z-Move and Mega Evolution, and logically fails at both of them.
Go Mad from the Revelation: Subverted at first, but ultimately played straight. While he was aware of his true nature for quite a while, his time with Ambertwo made him not care too much about it. However, when she suffered from Clone Degeneration and disappeared, he was left into the void of darkness and found no other way to cope with it than going on a rampage.
Heel–Face Turn: Not so much evil as confused, but he ultimately decides to leave in peace and never hurt anyone, ever again.
Heel Realization: After he gets defeated, he finally sees the error of his ways, especially how he was treating his clones as expendable tools even though they saw him as family.
I Just Want to Be Loved: Deep down, all he wants is to live in peace and happy, and not to be alone anymore.
Kryptonite Factor: He's vulnerable to Dark-type attacks, a fact Giovanni makes clear by pitting him against a Tyranitar.
Never Be Hurt Again: To some extent part of his goal, a world in which he and Amber won't be harmed by anybody.
Never My Fault: In Chapter 43, on running into complications with his cloning Amber project, he blames Dr. Fuji for getting himself killed and letting his notes be destroyed. Of course, he was the one who killed Dr. Fuji and destroyed his notes when he destroyed the lab.
Person of Mass Destruction: Well, Pokémon, but that's the intended role his creators had for him, and he lives up to those expectations.
Power Limiter: Zigzagged with his M2 Bind armor. It acts to both suppress and enhance his powers as required, giving him a greater degree of control over them.
Psychic Powers: Psychic-type.
Psychopathic Manchild: For all his power and intelligence, at the end of the day, he's more or less a scared and angry child lashing out at the world and trying to seek comfort. Thankfully, he's able to deal with his negative feelings in a more constructive way after his Heel–Face Turn.
Redemption Rejection: Temporarily, when Anabel tries to convince him to stop the fighting by conversing inside his mental domain, he refuses and forcibly kicks her out.
Smart People Play Chess: He's shown playing a chess game with Giovanni during the second half of his interlude.
Then Let Me Be Evil: Reading the scientists' minds and realizing they see him as a monster, he ultimately embraces that belief and decides to show them how much of a monster he can be.
Ultimate Life Form: His creators intended to make him this. By the end of his interlude, he's embraced that idea himself.
Unskilled, but Strong: While he does have training he received from Giovanni to refine his skills, during his battle against Lucario he clearly relies more on his raw power and spamming the different moves he's learned than any particular strategy.
Villainous Breakdown: Progressively goes through one during the second half of his arc, first from Ash's Pokédex trying to destroy his lair to kill him, then as his clones fail to defeat the originals, then as he himself fails to defeat Lucario. It reaches the climax when he fails to use a Z-Move and Mega Evolution due to not understanding how they work, which leads him to be defeated by Ash's supercharged Gigavolt Havoc.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Deep down, he still has the emotional and psychological maturity of a scared child forced to grow into adulthood.
Worf Had the Flu: While not outright stated, having to contain the explosion Ash's Pokédex tried to cause to destroy New Island is implied to have wasted a large chunk of his energy, playing a major factor in his defeat.
You Are Number 6: Designated as "Subject # 150".

Raikou

Appears in: Main Story

One of the Legendary Beasts from Johto, resurrected by Ho-Oh centuries ago. Known as the Spirit of Lightning.

The Ageless: Being resurrected by Ho-Oh apparently made it unable to die of old age.

Shock and Awe: An Electric-type.
Single Specimen Species: Averted, there are in fact several of them. Anabel just happens to meet the first and oldest of them.

Telepathy: The original one is able to talk to Anabel this way.

Entei

Appears in: Main Story (mentioned) | 100th Sidestory Special - The Glitch War

One of the Legendary Beasts from Johto, resurrected by Ho-Oh centuries ago.

Brainwashed and Crazy: The one that goes on a rampage during the Glitch War does so under the influence of Alish, who is in turn possessed by a fragment of ZZAZZ.
Playing with Fire: The Legendary Beast of Fire.

Indigo League Participants

Pava Gilbane

Appears in: Main Story

A girl whom Ash faces in the first preliminary round of the Indigo League. Her family owns a construction business.

Bare-Fisted Monk: Has a Machoke.
Big Creepy-Crawlies: Has a Beedrill, and it's mentioned that she's gone to Bug-Catching contests to fill her team's remaining slots.
Crippling Overspecialization: She heavily relies on her Dragonair/Dragonite as her main asset in battles and thus hasn't trained the rest of her team to the same level, but this is more due to a lack of opportunity than a lack of interest.
Fangirl: She's a follower of the Salon Maiden's blog, and is thrilled to meet her in person.
Incompletely Trained: Due to her father suffering an injury, she had to go home not long after starting her journey to help with the family business, drastically limiting her ability to expand and train her team. The only reason she managed to make it to the League at all is by using her Dragonair to win a non-travelling badge, and multiple characters comment that besides the Dragonair, who later evolves into Dragonite, after apparently being on the verge of evolving for some time, her team isn't really on a League level.
Infinity -1 Sword: Deconstructed with her Dragonite. While it's undoubtedly a very capable battler and leagues ahead of the rest of her team, that's mainly because circumstances forced her to rely on one of her Pokemon at the expense of the others. One of the main reasons she lost at Indigo was because she relied on it too much; had the rest of her team been up to a similar standard, she probably would've beaten Ash.
Our Dragons Are Different: The powerhouse of her team is her Dragonite.
Sore Loser: Subverted; after she loses to Ash she breaks down crying and runs off, but later on she's shown to feel bad for acting like that, and she had sympathetic reasons for not wanting to lose.
Wrestler in All of Us: Her Machoke's main strategy is using grappling moves.

The Rookie Crusher

Appears in: Main Story

A veteran trainer who relishes in beating down rookies in the Pokémon Leagues. He faces Ash in the second preliminary round.

Accidental Truth: He accuses Ash of being a "fake" rookie when he starts losing to him. While everyone thinks he's gone mad, Pikachu and Ash mentally muse that he's technically correct on that.
Blinded by the Light: One of his strategies is to combine Double Team with Flash on his Exeggutor to blind his opponent and discretely set up Trick Room.
Broken Win/Loss Streak: He'd gone undefeated against rookies for over 20 years, until he faced Ash.
Expy: Word of God is that he was designed using Tonpa the Rookie Crusher from Hunter × Hunter as a basis. Crossoverpairinglover also says he has some elements of the Player Killers from Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Thinks that Ash should have been happy for making Pava cry after he beat her in the previous round.
Fat Bastard: Implied to be somewhat overweight, since he's broader and bulkier than Ash, and not by muscle.
Hate Sink: There is nothing redeemable about the man in or out of universe.
Heel: Acts and looks the part, and it's even mentioned in-story.
Jerkass: Very much so, especially since he takes pleasure in crushing rookie trainers and their spirits.
No Sense of Personal Space: He gets up close to try and intimidate Ash before their match, and refuses to respect his personal space.
Only Known by Their Nickname: This is even lampshaded by the announcer who specifically only calls him the Rookie Crusher because his title is more famous than whatever his actual name is.
Smarter Than You Look: Despite his appearance he is fairly clever. His strategies are fairly novel and effective, and thanks to his years of experience in fighting rookie trainers, he's one of the first characters in universe to pick up that Ash might not be a Instant Expert and fresh-faced rookie without reading his mind.
Villainous BSoD: He's left catatonic after he loses to Ash, to the point security needs to remove him from the arena.

Locke M. Hiraturemura

Appears in: Main Story

A trainer hailing from Maroon Island in the Orange Islands, who faces Ash in the fourth preliminary round. Given that he's obtained most, if not all of his Pokémon through Wonder Trading, he's still trying to figure out their abilities through trial and error.

Action Girl: His Mienfoo is female and a tough fighter to boot.
Bare-Fisted Monk: Has a Mienfoo and a Hakamo-o.
Dishing Out Dirt: Has a Midnight Lycanroc.
An Ice Person: Has an Avalugg.
Mighty Glacier: His Avalugg might be a literal example; has high defenses to tank most attacks and takes advantage of its ability to heal damage during hail.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Many of his Pokemon are observed by Dexter to be the variety often abandoned by trainers for difficulty, like Chewtle and Rockruff. Locke managed to put them all together into a functional and strong team, if with some issues.
Unskilled, but Strong: While he has a good range of Pokémon, his habit of Wonder Trading means that he hasn't always taken the time to establish what his team can actually do, to the point that he's surprised to learn that his Hakamo-o became part-Fighting after its recent evolution.

Cross

Appears in: Main Story | Charmander Gaiden

A trainer from the Alola region who is seemingly interested in finding (and catching) Ho-Oh. He's set to be Ash's opponent during the sixth Indigo League round.

And Then What?: Invoked; when Charizard and Incineroar are fighting, Incineroar rants about how Cross has a clear plan to train himself to a level where he can battle Ho-oh, but Charizard counters that Cross has no plan for after he's battled Ho-oh, while Ash has a long-term goal (stopping Cyrus) and what he'll do with his life after that.
Decomposite Character: His role as Charmander's previous trainer is retained by Damian, though he does recognize him as Ash's Charizard from having fought once.
Dishing Out Dirt: His Midnight Lycanroc.
Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: His attempt to catch a Zapdos goes as well as you'd expect. Not that he actually learns the lesson given that he still has his sights on Ho-Oh.
Early-Bird Cameo: He had some minor appearances during the main story and side stories, first when he challenges Solidad, and later when he's revealed to have provoked the Zapdos who attacked Ash and Co. while they were training. He also briefly appeared in the Charmander Gaiden, defeating him while he was still under Damian's care.
Evil Counterpart: When Ash is reviewing Cross's various Pokemon, he's struck by the notion that Cross's twelve known Pokemon are basically 'counterparts' of his own initial twelve in the original timeline, such as Incineroar being a powerhouse similar to Charizard where Mantine was mainly used for transportation like Lapras.
Graceful Loser: Downplayed, but he seems to have gained a degree of respect for Ash after Charizard defeats Incineroar, acknowledging that he has skills and hoping they'll meet again in Johto.
Hidden Depths: He spends a lot of his off time in libraries, possibly due to trying to know as much as he can about Ho-Oh before pursuing it.
Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Cross takes a few key blows in his League battle with Ash because he assumed that the Kanto Muk was more like the Alolan Muk than it was; Alolan Muk's crystal form gives it a more solid body than its Kanto counterpart, allowing Ash's Muk to avoid some of its opponent's attacks with its more malleable form.
Jerkass: His first encounter with Ash and Misty quickly establishes him as a very unpleasant person.
Playing with Fire: Has an Incineroar.
Small Role, Big Impact: Downplayed, but his attempt to catch Zapdos led to it attacking Ash and Co., and thus to the creation of Ash's Electrium-Z. Given his dislike of Z-moves, he'd not appreciate this fact.
