'''Brendan''' (Japanese: '''ユウキ''' ''Yūki'') is the male choice for the [[player character]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[Generation VI]] remakes, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. He also serves as the [[rival]] in the same games if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, {{ga|May}}.

==In the core series==

If Brendan is selected as the player character, he starts his {{pkmn|journey}} moving from his home in [[Johto]] to his new home in the town of {{to|Littleroot}} in [[Hoenn]]. After saving [[Professor Birch]] from a [[wild Pokémon]], he is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn [[region]]. Brendan develops a close bond with {{ga|May}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}{{sup/3|E}}.

If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his father Birch finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's [[rival]] and friend. Along with May (when playing as Brendan), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their starter Pokémon into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their starters have been fully evolved by the battle that takes place after the [[credits]].

==In spin-off games==

Brendan appears during the main story of [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Treecko}} and its evolved forms {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Sceptile}}. In his alternate outfit, he can also team up with {{p|Latios}}.

{{main|Brendan (game)/Quotes}}

In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are '''Land'''on and '''Sea'''n; in the Japanese version, リクヤ '''''Riku'''ya'' and カイト '''''Kai'''to'' (陸 ''riku'' means land and 海 ''kai'' means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.

In Emerald, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, Professor Birch says "So it's <optional name>?", suggesting one of the 20 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Brendan. They are versions of Brendan with the same design, but with different colors. In all figures, Brendan uses his sweater and backpack from {{game|Emerald}}, and his pants and shoes from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brendan|41}} (Japanese: ユウキ ''Yūki'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing clothes with blue in place of the red or orange colors from the other figures.

* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Landon|41}} (Japanese: リクヤ ''Rikuya'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, wearing clothes with the color palette from Ruby and Sapphire.

* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Sean|41}} (Japanese: カイト ''Kaito''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, wearing clothes with the color palette from Emerald.

 

The Brendan figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Landon and Sean figures were not released either.

Swampert's only known move is {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

|desc={{p|Sceptile}} is Brendan's only known Pokémon, possibly his {{pkmn2|starter}}. It was used to infiltrate and fight off {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s and [[Courtney]] in the [[Team Magma Hideout]].

Brendan appeared in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], where he was first seen sleeping in his house in [[Littleroot Town]]. A {{p|Treecko}} comes by and woke him up. He ran to {{ga|May}}'s house as the [[starter Pokémon]] were playing with one another. Brendan encountered a {{tc|Youngster}} and battled his {{p|Zigzagoon}} with {{p|Treecko}}.

[[File:Ruby RS chapter.png|thumb|right|220px|Brendan's Pokémon Adventures counterpart Ruby]]

Ruby from [[Pokémon Adventures]], who is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, is based on Brendan.

Rald from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] is based on Brendan.

* Before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Brendan and May were the only rivals whose [[starter Pokémon]] does not reach its final form.
