Takeshi

Takeshi rolls onto the scene as Satoshi’s rival when he first appears, but he's not just a foe—he's hoping to tag along on Satoshi's adventures, dreaming of becoming the best Pokémon Breeder ever. A few years older than the rest, he often finds himself playing the wise sage, helping out during battles and refereeing the action. He’s got a soft spot for romance too, always attempting to charm the ladies, though he usually gets shot down, yanked away by Kasumi or Masato, or hilariously zapped by his own Pokémon, Gureggru. It makes for some entertaining moments!
