VIZ's names (to clarify, I've just got my copy of Viz's edition volume 15 today)
(Their names come from "Pochiena" and "Powalen". Any connection to the Ice Climbers is pure coincidence.)

'''Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ルビー''' ''Ruby'') is a main character in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As a counterpart to {{adv|Sapphire}}, Ruby has a great passion for [[Pokémon Contest]]s. While he's an excellent battler, he only fights when necessary or when no one takes notice.  He believes that Pokémon battles are barbaric, and get his Pokémon dirty — something that he does not like.
