Johto Recurring Characters
Professor Elm
Appears in: Main Story | Joey Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (mentioned) | Gligarman Interlude (mentioned) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020 (mentioned)
Johto's local Pokémon Professor, and a former student of Professor Oak. Specializes in studying Pokémon abilities and breeding.
- Absent-Minded Professor: Has a tendency to become too caught up in his research and sometimes he neglects his surroundings.
- Fantastic Racism: He's very convinced that bloodliners want to enslave Earth.
- Jerkass Has a Point: On the other hand he is right that some bloodliners are planning to take over the world.
Dan
Appears in: Main Story | Falkner Gaiden
A trainer from Johto with a few years under his belt. Currently trying to break in Kanto his Top 16 rut from Johto.
- Batman Gambit: Basically uses this in his Indigo League battle with Ash; he uses Typhlosion as his fifth Pokemon in the battle, anticipating that Ash will assume he's saving Ampharos for last and use his own Pokemon accordingly, when in fact Dan's last Pokemon was Octillery, which was less powerful but had more advantages against Ash's already-weakened powerhouses.
- Commonality Connection: While Ash initially notes that he was someone he was battling unconnected in some way to him (Otoshi) or his team (Kaia, Cross) in the later rounds, the reveal of both of them having battled Sabrina and survived (Ash won, Dan lost) created a thread between them.
- Death or Glory Attack: Typhlosion's Blast Burn is very powerful, though the immobile period means that the Fire-type is vulnerable afterwards. Dan outright acknowledges that their second Blast Burn against Pikachu will either win or lose them the match, with the latter ultimately coming to pass.
- Face Death with Dignity: Despite facing the real possibility of being killed by Sabrina, he and his Pokemon are willing to fight to prove themselves worthy. Luckily for him, Sabrina does find him skilled enough.
- A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: After his first Pokemon League, he tried to increase his winnings at the Goldenrod Game Corner, and predictably lost all of them. The next year he tried to invest in stock options, but they pummeled the next day and he lost all his money again.
- Gratuitous Rap: His Pokédex talks this way.
- Hero-Worshipper: Downplayed. If his clothes are any indication, he's a fan of Lance.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: While his Mega Ampharos is his most obvious threat, Typhlosion is just as dangerous, needing both Pikachu and Charizard working together to take down.
- Noodle Incident: He mentions a number of them, including being bitten by his (future) Arbok and insulting softball in front of Whitney.
- No-Sell: Manages to have Typhlosion stop Gigavolt Havoc with Roar.
- Remember the New Guy?: The team that he mentioned during his main series debut more or less are the Pokemon we see him using in his battles against Corey and Ash, with the exception of Steelix. The most likely answer being that Steelix was captured at some point between his battle with Sabrina and the Indigo League.
- Super Mode: His Ampharos can Mega Evolve.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: After being stuck in the Top 16 in Johto several times in a row, he successfully makes it to the Top 8 in Kanto.
- Took a Level in Badass: He certainly got a lot better between his Gaiden debut and his main story appearance.
Joey
Appears in: Joey Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017
A youngster from Johto who tries to leave behind his 'Top Percentage Rattata' Once Done, Never Forgotten moment.
- Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: Still suffering a pretty big one, since even five years later people still remember it. Joey won a chance to appear on DJ Mary and Professor Oak's show. During said appearance, he blurted out that he thought his Rattata was in the top percentage of Rattata. Of course, he never expected to become an Internet meme.
- Lethal Joke Character: Knows almost everything about Rattata, and how to use it to great effect.
- Precision F-Strike: Delivers one at the Cherrygrove Tournament, unable to stand anymore that people make fun of him.

- Dark Is Not Evil: Tamao's Umbreon.

- Making a Splash: Sumomo's Vaporeon.
- Massive Numbered Siblings: Borderline example, since they're five sisters.
- Mistaken for Romance: Satsuki's sisters briefly think Falkner is her boyfriend.

- Action Girl: Even out of costume, she can handle herself pretty well against muggers.
- Fantastic Racism: She shows distrust towards Bloodliners in her appearance in Chapter 26. It is left ambiguous in context if she had these feelings before or after the Bloodline War of the future.

- Mission Control: Acts as this to her father and the Night Watchers during the Gligarman Interlude.
Mr. Parker/Gligarman
Appears in: Kiawe Interlude (mentioned) | Looker Interlude (mentioned) | Lara Gaiden (mentioned) | Pokémon G-Men Interlude (mentioned) | Wicke & Nephew Interlude (photo) | Black Arachnid Gaiden (mentioned) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (Mentioned) | Squirtle Squad Gaiden (comic) | Gligarman Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021 (mentioned)

- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: An example, as revealed in the 2017 Holiday Special. He was the one who took down Heratia, the mother of the Seven Brothers and Grandmother of Ash and many others. In doing so he opened up the door for the brothers to kill her, which set into play every criminal act they would do on their own.
- Of course, this is also the reason why Ash and all his siblings are able to exist and interact in the world and help people, so the result of this action was not entirely negative.
- Noodle Incident: At one point, his Sharpedo Repellent saved both his own life and Gio Jenny's.
- Retired Badass: His age has made it difficult to fight crime directly, but he still does detective work now and then.

- Super Mode: He planned to Mega Evolve his Ampharos, but unfortunately Bill interrupted the transformation by having First Giga Impact it far away and stole his Key Stone during the battle.
