==History==
Thatcher debuted in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty!]]''. He and [[Alyssa]] operate the [[Misty Village]] Lighthouse using a special rock called the light stone. Thatcher's grandfather gave him a {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} to help charge the light stone, but Thatcher was unsure of whether or not he could properly train them. Having very little trust and confidence in his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, all Thatcher could do was cheer for others using his Pokémon's {{m|Helping Hand}}. {{Ash}}, who Thatcher sees as a "hero", helped Thatcher protect the light stone from {{TRT}} and taught him to believe in his Pokémon.
 
Thatcher soon left on his own {{pkmn|journey}} to become a {{pkmn|Trainer}} like Ash. During a day of training, [[Sheridan]] noticed Plusle and Minun's powerful Helping Hand attacks and recruited Thatcher to become a member of his traveling pep squad.
 
En route to [[Lavaridge Town]], in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} encountered Thatcher again as he was training to becoming a pep master. [[Max]] later exposed Sheridan and his power of pep as a fraud, leading to the end of his elite cheer school. Thatcher, with a Helping Hand from his Pokémon, then helped [[Ash's Pikachu]] escape from Team Rocket. With a renewed faith in his own abilities, Thatcher said goodbye to Ash and his friends, and set his sights on continuing his own journey towards becoming a Trainer.
 
==Character==
Thatcher is ambitious and enthusiastic, and he also has a deep understanding of teamwork. He actively seeks out a master to help teach him new things in order to prove himself. This, however, causes Thatcher to feel lost, making him vulnerable to fraudsters like [[Sheridan]].
 
Thatcher continues to admire {{Ash}} for his courage, and even considers him a great mentor. In his [[AG052|second appearance]], Thatcher was shown to have developed some sense of independence.


He reappeared in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', where he was training with a pep squad with his Plusle and Minun.
