Hiker (Trainer class): Difference between revisions

A trio of Hikers appeared in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]''. One of them had his {{p|Magmar}} beaten by an [[Regional variant|Alolan]] {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}}, then again for a second time, causing them to take it to a Pokémon Center. At the end of the episode, they kept {{wp|photobombing}} the pictures that the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} was trying to take of {{ashcl|the group}}. They reappeared in ''[[SM095|Sparking Confusion!]]'', where they re-encountered Ash and his classmates while they were investigating unusual activity detected at [[Wela Volcano Park]] as the [[Ultra Guardians]]. In the end, they agreed to patrol the park and {{pkmn2|caught}} an Alolan {{p|Golem}} that had gotten attached to them. They reappeared in ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', where they once again photobombed Rotom's attempts to photograph Ash, his classmates, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Although he was not seen, promotional material revealed that at least one of the three Hikers participated in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]] during ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', but was ultimately defeated.
