Conway

Conway, a recurring character, seems to be based on the Super Nerd class. He first appeared in Tag! We're It...!. Later, he appeared in the Pokémon Summer Academy arc from Camping It Up! through One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!. He became Ash's official rival during the Lily of the Valley Conference in the episodes An Old Family Blend through Working on a Right Move!, where he lost to Ash. Unlike the Super Nerds featured in the games, he is not known to own any Poison-, Electric-, or Fire-type Pokémon. However, he did train a Venonat during the Pokémon Summer Academy.
