Rinto: Difference between revisions

(Japanese: '''リント''' ''Rinto'') is a recurring character in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. He first appeared in [[JN051]].

Rinto first appeared at [[Rock Tunnel]], watching the [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} between {{Ash}} and [[Genba]]. After seeing {{AP|Farfetch'd}} run off after defeating Genba's {{p|Gurdurr}}, Rinto spoke to Ash about Farfetch'd's huge potential. He then had a battle against Ash and Farfetch'd using his {{p|Gallade}} and won with just one move.

Before he left, Rinto talked about the lack of synchrony between Ash and Farfetch'd and that he would like to battle Ash again when they became more in sync.

 

Rinto is set to reappear in [[JN060]].

Rinto is shown to be very observant and analytical, analyzing Ash's Farfetch'd and his battle style. Despite respecting other trainers, Rinto acted with a certain amount of sarcasm towards Ash in his relationship with his Pokémon including ignoring Ash's presence and talking only to his opponent's Farfetch'd. After his victory against Ash, it is revealed that Ash has been looking for other ways to train Farfetch'd and beat Rinto and Gallade in the future.
