Astin from Jessie's flashback

Astin used to go to the same school that Jessie was in. He left to become a Pokémon Coordinator and, before leaving, asked Jessie to join him on his journey. Jessie was torn between traveling with her crush and staying at school for her debut as a dancer. Jessie ultimately decided to stay at school and has not seen him since his departure.
