Tyler (DP080)
Tyler (Japanese: タイセイ Taisei) is a beginning Pokémon Trainer and the character of the day in The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!. He is voiced by 斎藤千和 Chiwa Saito in Japanese.
Tyler was trying desperately to catch a Yanma when he met Ash and crew. Like Dawn his starter Pokémon was Piplup. His was nicknamed Pippy (Japanese: チャッピー Chappy) and it wore a hair barrette on its head. After finally weakening a Yanma, he was about to catch it until Team Rocket showed up. Jessie threw a Poké Ball at it and caught it herself.
Dismayed by this, Tyler began to feel that he would never catch a Yanma, but Ash encouraged him and he found the confidence to try again. The next day, he attempts to catch another Yanma but Team Rocket interfered once again and the Yanma got away. A little bit later he put out some of Brock's Pokémon food and another Yanma started to eat it. Team Rocket tried to interfere again but Ash sent them blasting off. It took a couple of attempts but Tyler managed to catch this Yanma.
