Wes has apparently been with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Espeon}}, for years, possibly since childhood. Wes joins [[Team Snagem]] for unclear reasons and presumably leaves once he becomes disgusted with their actions.

Wes's past is never fully explained. He has apparently been with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Espeon}}, for years. Wes joins [[Team Snagem]] for unclear reasons, but then leaves.


Before he does, he plants a bomb to completely destroy Team Snagem's headquarters and steals the portable version of the [[Snag Machine]] - a device that can turn [[Poké Ball]]s into [[Snag Ball]]s - which can be used to catch Pokémon already owned by other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. In the process Wes reveals the hidden base to the police of Orre.

In the process Wes reveals the hidden base to the police of Orre.


Equipped with this device, Wes wanders around until he rescues [[Rui]] from some kidnappers in [[Phenac City]]. Using his very high-tech hovering motorcycle to travel around [[Orre]], Wes and Rui set off to uncover the conspiracy behind [[Cipher]], [[Team Snagem]] and the [[Shadow Pokémon]].

Wes's actions eventually attract the attention of both {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}}, indicating that he must care deeply for all Pokémon.
Wes's actions eventually attract the attention of both {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}}.


However, shortly after defeating Cipher and snagging/saving most of the Shadow Pokémon, there are reports that "Wes" started attacking people with a Shadow {{p|Togetic}}. Wes, with the help of News reports and [[Kids Grid]], managed to track down the impostor to Outskirt Stand, where he was in the middle of attacking one of the people nearby. He then battled and defeated the impostor and then snagged his doppelgänger's Shadow Togetic. The impostor is later revealed to be an ex-{{tc|Cipher Peon}} who had wanted revenge on Wes for shutting down Cipher, and declares his success in ruining Wes's reputation. However, Orre forgives Wes after realizing their mistake.

However, Orre forgives Wes after realizing their mistake.


Wes's past is never fully explained, although some conjectures can be drawn from dialog within the story. Wes fits in well at [[Pyrite Town]] (one character even remarked that he would), suggesting that he doesn't have that much of a problem with petty crimes like thievery. He seems to have once had some sort of father/son dynamic with the head of Team Snagem, [[Gonzap]].
His whereabouts after the events of Pokémon Colosseum are unknown. His and Rui's heroic acts in bringing the first Shadow incident to an end are remembered by people in Orre in {{Pokémon XD}}, though their names are not mentioned.


His whereabouts after the events of Pokémon Colosseum are unknown. Because neither he nor Rui appear in {{Pokémon XD}}, he may have followed Rui to her home town, a currently unknown location. The duo's heroic acts in bringing the first Shadow incident to an end are remembered by people in Orre, though their names are not mentioned to [[Michael]].

Wes (Japanese: レオ Leo) is a young man who lives in the Orre region of the world. He is the protagonist of Pokémon Colosseum.

Storyline

Wes during the intro of Colosseum

Wes's past is never fully explained. He has apparently been with his Pokémon, Umbreon and Espeon, for years. Wes joins Team Snagem for unclear reasons, but then leaves.

Before he does, he plants a bomb to completely destroy Team Snagem's headquarters and steals the portable version of the Snag Machine - a device that can turn Poké Balls into Snag Balls - which can be used to catch Pokémon already owned by other Trainers. In the process Wes reveals the hidden base to the police of Orre.

Equipped with this device, Wes wanders around until he rescues Rui from some kidnappers in Phenac City. Using his high-tech hovering motorcycle to travel around Orre, Wes and Rui set off to uncover the conspiracy behind Cipher, Team Snagem, and the Shadow Pokémon.

Wes's actions eventually attract the attention of both Ho-Oh and Celebi.

However, shortly after defeating Cipher and snagging/saving most of the Shadow Pokémon, there are reports that "Wes" started attacking people with a Shadow Togetic. Wes, with the help of News reports and Kids Grid, manages to track down the impostor to Outskirt Stand, where he is in the middle of attacking one of the people nearby. He then battles and defeats the impostor and snags his doppelgänger's Shadow Togetic. Afterwards, the impostor is revealed to be an ex-Cipher Peon named Fein who had wanted revenge on Wes for shutting down Cipher, and declares his success in ruining Wes's reputation. However, Orre forgives Wes after realizing their mistake.

His whereabouts after the events of Pokémon Colosseum are unknown. His and Rui's heroic acts in bringing the first Shadow incident to an end are remembered by people in Orre in Pokémon XD, though their names are not mentioned.
