'''Rose''' (Japanese: '''ローズ''' ''Rose'') is the president of [[Macro Cosmos]] and the chairman of the [[Galar]] [[Pokémon League]]. He was the first person to endorse [[Leon]] as a {{pkmn|Champion}}, and is also currently sponsoring [[Bede]]'s Gym Challenge. He also designed and developed the metropolis of [[Wyndon]], which houses the headquarters for both the Galar Pokémon League and Macro Cosmos. Like his brother [[Peony]], he uses {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

Bede later borrows Rose's {{p|Copperajah}} and uses it to demolish the mural in [[Stow-on-Side]], looking for Wishing Stars. After he is stopped by the player, Rose shows up to voice his disapproval and disqualify Bede from the Gym Challenge.

During the player's travels, Rose discusses with [[Leon]] a plan to secure an energy source for Galar that can avert a projected energy crisis 1,000 years in the future. When Hop and the player head to Rose Tower to confront Leon for failing to appear for dinner, they catch a discussion between the two, with Leon arguing that Rose's plan can wait until after the Championship Match and Rose insisting on taking action immediately. He then apologizes for delaying them, but after Leon departs, Rose begins to enact his scheme. He releases {{p|Eternatus}}, which he had been energizing with the Wishing Stars collected by Bede, to enact a second [[Darkest Day]] in order to provide Galar with a near-infinite supply of energy.  

According to Oleana, Rose once worked in a coal mine a long time ago. In [[The Crown Tundra]], [[Peony]] is revealed to be Rose's younger brother. When they were young, they {{pkmn2|caught}} Peony's first Pokémon, Cufant, together. However, their relationship deteriorated due to Peony frequently being compared to his more accomplished brother. Peony went on to become a Gym Leader and later Champion, but when Rose became the Galar League chairman, Peony resigned his Champion status and disappeared.

Rose forms a [[sync pair]] with a {{p|Copperajah}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Copperajah is capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. Rose became a playable sync pair on July 14, 2023.

Prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Rose was responsible for inserting {{an|Leon}} into the world of [[Pokémon battle]]s, and this approach made Leon move away from his childhood friend [[Sonia]]. He also worked for years with [[Professor Magnolia]] on the so-called Galar Particles, which is the basis of the power that allows Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]]. Together, they created the [[Dynamax Band]], but Rose had his own goals for the phenomena, which prompted Professor Magnolia to end their partnership.

In ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', Rose initially observed an experiment to inject Galar Particles into the Energy Plant's reactor. When Oleana asked him if he wished to pause the experiment so the reactor's hangar could be strengthened, he refused, stating his belief that the disaster that once endangered Galar, the [[Darkest Day]], would be resurrected as {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, which he called the savior of the region. Later, he and Oleana visited a mine where a Gigantamax {{p|Coalossal}} had been rampaging after being exposed to a burst of Dynamax energy from the reactor. There, he met up with {{Ash}} and {{an|Leon}} and invited the former to a dinner at Macro Cosmos's headquarters in [[Wyndon]]'s [[Rose Tower]]. During the dinner, Rose explained that Galar's prosperity allowed him to rise out of poverty and establish Macro Cosmos, and as a result, he was willing to do anything to ensure this prosperity would last for a thousand years. He requested that Ash stay at his side and help him accomplish that dream, offering to sponsor Ash with his vast resources in exchange. Much to Rose's surprise, Ash refused the offer.

In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Rose confronted Ash and Leon in [[Hammerlocke Stadium]] after {{p|Eternatus}} escaped from the Energy Plant's reactor. He explained that while ancient people who feared Eternatus came to know it as the [[Darkest Day]], he had given it its proper name as an indication of the infinite amounts of Galar Particles it could produce, which he planned to use to provide Galar with millenniums worth of energy. He further revealed that he had the additional motive of preventing any further tragedies like the one he suffered as a young boy, where his father was killed in a coal mine collapse. In order to complete his agenda, Rose sponsored Trainers and specifically groomed Leon to become a modern-day hero figure who would ultimately subdue and catch Eternatus to ensure it could be kept as a power source. When Leon refused and instead said he would only catch Eternatus to seal it away again, Rose grew angry, sent out his {{p|Copperajah}}, and ordered it to attack. However, Ash intervened and battled Rose to buy Leon enough time to defeat Eternatus. Rose then sent out his {{p|Ferrothorn}} to stand against {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Riolu}}.

|desc=Rose held this {{p|Eternatus}} in the Energy Plant's reactor, planning to strengthen it with Galar particles so it could serve as a source of infinite energy for the Galar region. After a number of experiments in which Galar particles were injected into the reactor, it escaped from its containment field within [[Hammerlocke Stadium]] in ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]''. Above the stadium, Eternatus began gathering massive amounts of energy from across the region. In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Eternatus transformed into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} form, but with {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}'s help, {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] managed to defeat and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, allowing it to be sealed away.}}

Rose debuted in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he was first seen watching a [[Pokémon League]] tournament battle between {{an|Leon}} and [[Bea]]. Afterwards, he visited a hospital and signed some children's shirts. Rose was then about to leave when he was approached by {{gal|John}}, a fan of Leon's who wanted him to give Leon a letter. Since John reminded him of Leon, Rose agreed to fulfill his request. Later, he saw the letter contained a drawing of Leon and his {{p|Charizard}}.

In ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]'', Rose approached [[Nessa]] following her loss to [[Milo]] during the [[Galar League|Champions Cup]]. He implied to Nessa that her competing duties as a [[Gym Leader]] and a model were responsible for her loss, and that she should stop modeling if she wanted to reach higher.

In [[PASS25]], the Gym Leaders were informed by Leon and Sonia that Rose was working together with [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. They, along with Henry's group, gathered at Rose Tower to find out if Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar. Rose wasn't in the building, but appeared on a video screen, where he revealed his plan to release Eternatus and restart the [[Darkest Day]], thus ensuring the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random.  

In [[PASS27]], Henry, Casey, Sonia, Leon, Raihan, [[Nessa]], [[Melony]], [[Piers]], [[Hop]], Bede, and [[Marnie]] traveled to the Energy Plant, where they found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success. Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and had several contingency plans to deal with the Dynamaxed Pokémon. One such plan was Sordward and Shielbert, who were currently in battle with Eternatus. Despite possessing the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]], the brothers failed to defeat Eternatus and were sent flying off [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]. Rose saved the brothers, but was disappointed by their performance and questioned the legitimacy of their royal lineage. Rose sent his [[Gigantamax]] Copperajah to battle Eternatus and had Oleana convince the others to assist him. By the time they arrived, Leon's group found Rose had already been defeated. While Bede kept Rose safe, Leon's group successfully took Eternatus down, only for it to get back up and change into its Eternamax form.

It eventually escaped when Rose started the Darkest Day, intending for it produce enough Galar particles to sustain Galar for the next thousand years. It was eventually defeated and put in Macro Cosmos custody.
