Thorton

He analyzes his opponents, and his knowledge of and skills with any Pokémon are the real deal. As Factory Head, he battles challengers.

Appearance: Thorton is a pale, teal-eyed man with black slick hair, with the top being green. Unlike most people, his eyes are always half-shut. He wears a white tie, which has a teal button, over his red shirt with teal sleeves. Thorton wears a white belt, teal shorts and red shoes. Thorton also has some gadgets, which he usually keeps in a spare container around his waist.

Personality Thorton is a knowledgeable analyst who is confident in his abilities and analyses. He has even invented a machine just to analyse the possibilities of the player character winning against him. However, he acknowledges and appreciates the friendship between Pokémon and people, so he usually tells the player character not to care about his machine's results too seriously.

Factory Head Thorton is the second Frontier Brain in the Sinnoh region. He is in charge of the Battle Factory.

Partner Pokémon: Bronzong.

Bronzong's appearance: Bronzong is a large Pokémon resembling a blue-green bell with two arms coming out of its sides. It has a hollow body and a yoke attached at the top. Its face can be best described as being a "Totem Pole" design; Bronzong has two round, red eyes with blue-green irises and a rectangular mouth with one visible row of square teeth. It also has several darker, rectangular markings on its body.

In ages past, this Pokémon was revered as a bringer of rain. Bronzongs were found buried in the ground.

Bronzong knows Gyro Ball, Zen Headbutt, Telekinesis, and Flash Cannon.

Gyro Ball: Bronzong holds out its arms and white balls of energy appear at the ends of them. Bronzong then spins around quickly and it slams into the opponent.

Zen Headbutt: Bronzong focuses its willpower to its body and rams the target.

Telekinesis: Bronzong makes the target float with its psychic power.

Flash Cannon: Bronzong flips around and aims its bottom at the opponent. It then gathers silver energy inside its body and then it fires a silver beam of energy at the opponent.

Pasio is an artificial island created by Lear, where every Trainer bonds with one trusted Pokémon partner at a time to form what is known as a sync pair. These sync pairs fight together in Pasio’s signature 3-on-3 team battles. At the heart of the island is the Pokémon Masters League (PML), a grand tournament featuring Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Champions, and other notable Trainers from every region. To qualify, participants must defeat PML Leaders across Pasio and earn five badges while adventuring with their partnered Pokémon. Centra City is the island’s largest hub, hosting a Pokémon Center complete with a shop and café. Other major locations include the Battle Villa, a multi-floor challenge facility for endurance-based combat, and several specialized arenas scattered across the island. The most prestigious battleground is the Champion Stadium, where the final rounds of the PML are fought. Meanwhile, the Trainer Lodge serves as a social space where Trainers gather, interact, and strengthen their partnerships.
