'''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}}.

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}}

==Optional names==

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.

Brendan's only appearances in the main series are small cameos in the opening sequences of {{pkmn|movie}}s, specifically ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. He is shown to spend time in [[Battle Tower]]s. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.

 

Unlike in the games, he has never interacted with [[May (anime)|May]]. It is unknown if he has ever met her, or even if his parents are the same as in the games, as neither [[Norman]] nor [[Professor Birch]] has mentioned him.

====Pokémon Generations====

[[File:Brendan PG.png|thumb|250px|Brendan in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]

Brendan appeared in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]'', where he was first seen battling several {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s with his {{p|Sceptile}} while infiltrating the [[Team Magma Hideout]], before running into [[Courtney]]. She then challenged him to a battle with her {{p|Camerupt}} just as [[Maxie]] and the rest of Team Magma headed for the [[Seafloor Cavern]] aboard [[Submarine Explorer 1]].

Much like the other [[player character]]s depicted in [[Pokémon Generations]], Brendan doesn't have any lines of dialogue.

Later in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', a trainer was seen battling and catching Deoxys with Mega Rayquaza, although due to the trainers hidden face, it can't be 100% confirmed this was the same Brendan from ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''.

=====Pokémon=====

{{TrainerPoké

Sceptile's known moves are {{m|Leaf Storm}} and {{m|Leaf Blade}}.}}

Do not add Mega Rayquaza. It is not certain that Brendan was the person with it in PG09

[[File:Brendan ORAS Trailer.png|thumb|250px|Brendan in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]]

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}}.

Later, sometime after his Treecko evolved all the way up into Sceptile, Brendan battled {{Steven}} and his {{TP|Steven|Mega Metagross|Metagross}}. Brendan then [[soaring in the sky|soared in the sky]] with his Mega {{p|Latios}} alongside May and her Mega {{p|Latias}}.

Sceptile then had the ability to Mega Evolve into a Mega Sceptile. It was last seen battling {{Steven}}'s {{TP|Steven|Mega Metagross|Metagross}}.
