Pokémon- Diamond and Pearl

Paul: Paul is perceived as a grumpy, cold, callous, cantankerous, abusive, grim, heartless, merciless, hot-headed, rude, mean, and rather arrogant Trainer, who has no interest in being friends with anybody (especially not his Pokémon) and simply sees his Pokémon as tools to win battles and often not caring if they are hurt or not even in a switching situation like Stealth Rock or Spikes. Paul’s bad attitude combined by these actions of his were all because of due Pyramid King Brandon who defeated his older brother, Reggie. Paul has mid-length purple hair that has one big strand hanging over the middle of his face, small dark eyes and he almost never smiles, except for the occasional smirk and a small chuckle whenever he deals with Ash Ketchum. He wears a purple jacket with navy blue sleeves, a blue undershirt, dark purple pants and purple and navy sneakers with white soles. He is a power-hungry trainer who only cared about is power. He trained his Pokemon harshly and cruelly to make them break their limits. Unlike Ash, Paul is initially not a caring Trainer as he wants pure power from his Pokémon and the Trainers he faces to be strong. Paul is also known to release his Pokémon if he deems them weak or useless, which seems somewhat appropriate because of his ambition and seeing his Pokémon as tools for his own glory. It revealed his true goal is to defeat Pyramid King Brandon ever since his brother, Reggie lost against the most powerful Frontier Brain just so he won't let his brother's mistakes happen again. Professor Rowan: He appears to have a serious demeanor, compared to previous Professors' kind and cheery attitudes. Professor Rowan is a man of 60 with fair skin, blue eyes, and spiky white hair with sideburns and a mustache. He wears a gray jacket over a white shirt paired with a light blue vest, a gray tie, dark teal pants, and gray shoes. Sometimes, he wears a white lab coat with his outfit. Ash: He is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town whose goal is to become a Pokémon Master. His first Pokémon was a Pikachu that he received from Professor Oak after arriving late at his laboratory. On his journeys around the Pokémon world, he's been accompanied by a multitude of close friends. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed throughout the series, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character. Ash has a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. Dawn: Dawn is carefree, upbeat, and cheerful. Whenever she makes a mistake, she often quickly recovers and strives to do better. She's also confident- even from the beginning of her journey, Dawn is very confident in her abilities (sometimes even a little overconfident, as shown when she ordered her newly evolved Ambipom to use Swift), though not to the same extent as Ash. Similarly to Ash, Dawn was eager to begin her journey and had a clear goal at the start as she wants to be Top Coordinator just like her mom Johanna. While she's kind and supportive, she is sometimes quick-tempered and often gets emotional when she loses, so Ash and Brock often have to help her cope. Dawn has a fair complexion, steel blue eyes, and long navy blue hair. Her usual outfit is a mini sweater dress consisting of a black V-neck tank top with a white shirt under it, a very short pink mini skirt, and a dark pink scarf. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink Poké Ball print on it. She also wears yellow hair clips that hold up her hair in front. She wears a bracelet on her right wrist and a Pokétch on her left. On her feet, she wears a pair of knee-length pink boots and black mid-knee socks above them. Her boots have a pink and white strap on the edge. The rims of her boots are white, while the soles of her boots are greyish-white. She also has a small yellow backpack with all of her personal belongings. Brock: Brock's eyes appear to be closed all the time. The rare times he fully opens his eyes are when they are forced to open unnaturally. Brock was originally the Gym Leader of Pewter City Gym, but he decided to follow his dream to become the greatest Pokémon Breeder. After he lost in a match against Ash Ketchum, he quickly gave up his title. He accompanied Ash during his journey through several regions, all while trying to live up to his goal. He has traveled with Ash from Kanto to Sinnoh, where he has since worked as a Pokémon Doctor. Pikachu: This Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon owned by Ash Ketchum and is his main partner. He picked him as his first partner Pokémon. Pikachu always stayed outside his Poké Ball (with exceptionally rare instances), and could be seen riding on either Ash's head or shoulder, or walking along side him, or being held by Ash a few times.Despite Pikachu's small size, he is one of Ash's most dependable and strongest partners (if not the strongest). Whenever Ash was not around, Pikachu took a leadership position for the team. He was curious, friendly, intelligent and had shared Ash's fondness for battling. Pikachu was a very determined Pokémon and unwilling to give up in tough situations. He was responsible and often looked after younger PokémonAlthough he is sometimes stubborn, he had obeyed Ash's commands in battle and rarely left his side. Pikachu was also a constant target for Team Rocket. They had tried to capture him many times throughout the series; but on the few occasions that; they did, their plans were always thwarted; by Ash and his friends. Pikachu had often used his Electric-type attacks to escape danger or traps; with Thunderbolt being one of his most common moves. He was very swift in battles as well. He could also imitate some Pokémon; by mimicking their face shapes. Pikachu did not like being in his Poké Ball one bit, hated someone pulling on his tail and being followed very closely. He liked riding on Ash's head or shoulder.
