View source for Eagun

'''Eagun''' (Japanese:  ローガン ''Rōgan'') is the grandfather of [[Rui]] and wife of [[Beluh]].  Eagun is a very old man with lots of white hair, a long white beard, and flowing purple robes.

The elder of [[Agate Village]], he considers it his personal duty to protect all of the other senior citizens in Agate, as well as their Pokémon.

In his youth, Eagun was one of the greatest Pokémon Trainers in [[Orre]], if not the world.  However, once he started to age, he retired and now lives in the base of a large living tree in Agate Village.

Dispite his age, Eagun is still in excellent shape, being able to easily outrun two healthy people a fraction of his age.  

Eagun still keeps the first Pokémon he ever recieved with him, a Level 50 [[Pikachu]].

The old trainer is highly enthusiastic about Pokémon legends and myths, two of his favorites being [[Ho-oh]] and [[Celebi]].  He's seen a Ho-oh at least once before the end of [[Pokémon Colosseum]].

Despite his experience and power, Eagun was too old to prevent members of Cipher from invading the [[Relic Cave]] in an attempt to destroy Celebi's [[Relic Stone]]. A [[Cipher]] grunt was able to knock out Eagun's Pikachu using the power of a [[Shadow Pokémon]], [[Hitmontop]].  Luckily, [[Wes]] and Rui stepped in to save the day.

Eagun has trouble with gadgets, especially new technology.  He's only just learned to type in his old age.

Throughout Pokémon Colosseum, Eagun takes on the role of mentor to Wes, imparting words of wisdom and supplying advice.

Many fans have suggested that Eagun is actually supposed to be an aged version of [[Ash]] and that Pokémon Colosseum takes place in the far-flung future.  However, there doesn't seem to be much proof to back this up.  There are some similarities, it's easy to picture an elderly Ash having the same personality as Eagun.  In addition, Ash did start with Pikachu and has seen Ho-oh more than once.  However, it's more likely that Eagun is loosely based on Ash in the same way that Rui is presumably loosely based on [[Misty]].
