Brendan (Japanese: ユウキ Yūki) is the male choice for the player character in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and their Generation VI remakes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

In the games

Role

Brendan in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer

If Brendan is selected as the player character he starts his journey moving from his home in Johto to his new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Prof. Birch from a wild Pokémon, he is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn region. Brendan develops a close bond with 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^SEAS/Team Magma^REOR and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the Battle Frontier (in Emerald).

If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his dad finish the Hoenn Pokédex and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's rival and friend. Unlike other rivals (except for May when playing as Brendan), he gives up being a Trainer, making them the only rivals unavailable for battle after defeating the Elite Four. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not evolve their starter Pokémon into its final form, except for in ^ORAS, where their starters have been fully evolved by the battle that takes place after the credits.

Littleroot Town

"Pokémon fully restored… Items all packed, and… Hey! You… Who are you? Oh, you're <player>, aren't you? Moved in next door, right? I didn't know that you're a girl. Dad, Prof. Birch, said that our new next-door neighbor is a Gym Leader's kid, so I assumed you'd be a guy. My name's Brendan. So, hi, neighbor! Huh? Hey, <player>, don't you have a Pokémon? Do you want me to go catch you one? Aw, darn, I forgot… I'm supposed to go help my dad catch some wild Pokémon. Some other time, okay?"

Route 103

"Okay, so it's this one and that one that live on Route 103…"

• Before battle

"Hey, it's <player>! …Oh, yeah, Dad gave you a Pokémon. Since we're here, how about a little battle? I'll teach you what being a Trainer's about!"

• Being defeated

"Huh, <player>, you're not too shabby."

• After battle

"I think I get it. I think I see why my dad has his eye out for you now. Look, your Pokémon already likes you, even though you just got it. <player>, I get the feeling that you could befriend any Pokémon with ease. We should head back to the Lab.

Oldale Town

"I'm heading back to my dad's Lab now. <player>, you should hustle back, too."

Professor Birch's lab

"Huh… So you got a Pokédex, too. Well then, here. I'll give you this."

"You know it's more fun to have a whole bunch of Pokémon. I'm going to explore all over the place to find different Pokémon. If I find any cool Pokémon, you bet I'll try to get them with Poké Balls."

• If talked to once again

"Where I should look for Pokémon next…"

Rustboro City

"<player>, how's you Pokédex? Have you filled in any pages yet? Mine rules. I went on a Pokémon-catching frenzy in Petalburg Woods until I ran out of Poké Balls."

"By the way, I walked by Mr. Briney in Petalburg Woods. I bet he was on his way home to his cottage by the sea. I bet you didn’t know this, but he’s always got a Pokémon with him."

Pokémon Emerald

Rustboro City

"Oh, hey, <player>! You had a Match Call feature put on your Pokénav! Cool! Let's register each other so we can get in touch anytime!"

"By the way, <player>, I walked by Mr. Briney in Petalburg Woods. I bet he was on his way to his cottage by the sea. <player>, how's your Pokédex? Have you filled any pages yet? Mine rules. Want to have a battle to test how far you've progressed?"

Yes: "I know you just became a Trainer, but I won't go easy!"

No:"What's the matter? Don't have any confidence in your Pokémon?"

• Being defeated

"Hmm... You're pretty good."

• After battle

"By the way, you know Mr. Briney? The guy I just passed? I bet you didn't know this, since you just moved here, <player>, but Mr. Briney was once a great sailor."

Route 110

• Before battle

"Hey, <player>. So this is where you were. How's it going? Have you been raising your Pokémon? I'll check for you."

• Being defeated

"Hmm... You're pretty good."

• After battle

"<player>, you've trained without me noticing... Good enough! Here, take this."

"That's an Itemfinder. Use it to root around for items that aren't visible. If it senses something, it emits a sound. Anyway, I'm off to look for new Pokémon."

Lavaridge Town

"<Player>, hey, it's been a while. How's it going? Hmm... That's a decent collection of Badges. All right then. You may as well have this."

"Keep those with you if you're planning on going into that desert near Route 111. There should be some Pokémon that are exclusively desert-dwellers. You might look around for those. As for me... I'm considering challenging Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg. Unlike you, <player>, your dad looks like he really is tough. See you around!"

Route 119

• Before battle

"<Player>! So this is where you've been looking for Pokémon? Let me see how good you got. I'll test you! Now! It's a battle, so battle!"

• Being defeated

"Hmm... You've gotten pretty darn decent."

• After battle

"I'd say you're good enough to search for Pokémon anywhere. Here, I'll give you this. Try it out."

"Use Fly, and your Pokémon instantly carries you to any town you've already visited. But you need the Fortree Gym Badge to do that. Anyway, I have to move along."

Lilycove City

• Before battle

"Oh, hey, its <player>. I'm running an errand for my dad. No, I'm not buying any Dolls. Anyways, it's been a while. Want to have a battle to see who's raising Pokémon better?"

Yes: "Aww, but you know I'm not going to lose to no <player>."

No: "Oh, what's the matter? Don't have the confidence?"

• Being defeated

"Humph... You've done a lot of raising. That stings a bit--I had a head start on you as a Trainer..."

• After battle

"I... I plan on going home to Littleroot. You know I'm helping my dad on his Pokédex. It's coming together pretty decently, so I should go show him. <Player>, what are you going to do? Collect all the Gym Badges and take the Pokémon League challenge? Maybe I'll do that, too... Well, anyway, hang in there!"

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Littleroot Town

"Pokémon fully restored...Items all packed, and... Y-you... Who are you? <player>? Oh, you're the new kid who just moved in next door?! Huh... I didn't know that you'd be a girl. Dad-I mean, Professor Birch-told me you were the kid of a Gym Leader, and I sort of hoped you'd be a guy. My name's Brendan. Well, I guess we are still neighbors, so... Nice to meet you! Let's be friends, OK? Huh? Hey, <player>... Don't you have any Pokémon? If you want, I can go catch you one. Aw, wait, I forgot... I'm supposed to be going out to help my dad catch some wild Pokémon. Some other time, OK?"

Route 103

"OK, so it's this one and that one that live on Route 103... Huh? Hey, <player>! Ohhh. So you finally got a Pokémon from my dad? Then how about a little battle? Since we're here and all! I'm going to teach you what being a Trainer's all about!"

• Being defeated

"Huh. You're not too shabby, <player>."

• After battle

"It was a good battle. Thanks! Here! Lemme heal up both our parties real quick. I think I know why my dad had his eye on you now. Look, you just got your Pokémon, right? And you already have that strong of a bond? I get the feeling that you could befriend any Pokémon, <player>. No doubt. Well, I've got some data here, so I guess it's time I got back to the lab. You should head back, too, <player>!

Oldale Town

"I'm heading back to my dad's lab first! Come on, <player>!"

Professor Birch's lab

"Oh! <player>! Over here! Huh... So you got a Pokédex, too, <player>. Well then here. Have some Poké Balls on me. You can use them to catch wild Pokémon. If you catch a Pokémon in the wild and battle together with it for a while, it will grow stronger for you! Take that as a bit of advice from a more experienced Trainer like me! I'm going to get ready to head out from Littleroot soon myself. It's like...I don't know...It really gets you pumped up, right? We've both gotta give it our all out there, <player>!"

Route 101

"<player>! This is from my dad. He said he forgot to give it to you before. The app I just added to your PokéNav Plus is called the DexNav. It can tell you lots about the Pokémon living in each area and that kind of stuff. It's a handy app to have if you're trying to catch lots of different Pokémon. Guess it's about time I use the DexNav to do a little more catching myself! I'm gonna head that way and see what I find. <player>, you should use those Poké Balls I gave you earlier to do a bit of catching, too!"

• Sneaking up on Pokémon

"Hey, <player>! Over here! See that? Right there? There's a tail sticking out! There's a Pokémon hiding there! And look here, if you check your DexNav... Score! It looks like that Pokémon knows a pretty rare move, too! <player>! Try getting closer, real nice and slow! Push lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak close to Pokémon hiding in the grass. That's what it said in some book. You're almost there...! Slowly...slooowly... Remember...you press lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak!"

Route 102

"Hey! There you are! How's it going, <player>? Hope you've been using your DexNav and perfecting your sneaking skills. Oh, and you DO know about your DexNav's Detector Mode, right? It'll react to any Pokémon in the area, so it's pretty handy to use! Hm? Whoa! Check 'em, out <player>! It's like...I don't know... Seeing them like that makes me feel kinda...warm. You know? All right then! We're nearly there! Petalburg, here we come! Norman is the Gym Leader in this city, right? And...your dad, <player>. I'm thinking maybe I should challenge him once I train up my Pokémon a bit more. Guess I'll be off then!"

Rustburo City

"So you made it here to Rustboro, too, <player>. It's a real city, huh? Nothing like Littleroot. Oh, did you know? There's a Pokémon Gym here, too. Soon as I gather a few more Pokémon, I'll be trying my team against it! See ya!"

• After visiting Devon Corporation

"Hey, <player>. How's your Pokédex? Completed any entries yet? Mine pretty much rules. I went on a Pokémon-catching frenzy in Petalburg Woods until I ran out of Poké Balls! Oh, yeah. I passed by Mr. Briney in Petalburg Woods. I bet he was on his way home to his cottage on Route 104. I guess you wouldn't know since you just moved here and all, but they say that old guy used to be an amazing sailor!"

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 Landon and Sean; in the Japanese version, リクヤ Rikuya and カイト Kaito (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.

Counterparts

In the anime

Brendan's anime appearance

Brendan's only anime appearances are small cameos in the movies, appearing in the openings of Jirachi: Wish Maker, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea and Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Brendan seems to be a strong battler, as his cameos suggest he spends time in Battle Towers. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.

Like in the games, he has the starter Pokémon that weakens May's (May has a Blaziken while he has a Swampert). It is unknown if his relatives are the same as that of the games, where, as May is Norman's daughter (as the player is), Brendan would be Professor Birch's son. However, Brendan has never been mentioned by him.

Pokémon

The following are Brendan's known Pokémon in the anime:

Aggron

Brendan's Aggron

Debut	Jirachi: Wish Maker

Brendan's Aggron was only briefly seen in a Double Battle at the beginning of the sixth movie alongside Shiftry, against a Solrock and Manectric. During the battle, Aggron froze the opponent's Solrock. Notably, Aggron is kept within a Luxury Ball, a type of Poké Ball rarely seen in the anime.

Aggron's only known move is Ice Beam.

Shiftry

Debut	Jirachi: Wish Maker

Brendan's Shiftry was only briefly seen in a Double Battle at the beginning of the sixth movie alongside Aggron, against a Solrock and Manectric. During the battle, Shiftry was hit by the Manectric's Spark. Notably, Shiftry is kept within a Repeat Ball, a type of Poké Ball rarely seen in the anime.

Shiftry's only known move is Bullet Seed.

Swampert

Debut	Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea

Swampert is the third Pokémon revealed under Brendan's ownership. Not much is known about it, however, as it has only been seen briefly at the beginning of the ninth movie, where it was seen confronting Rebecca's Tyranitar in the Battle Tower.

Swampert's only known move is Ice Beam.

Rhyperior

Debut	Giratina and the Sky Warrior

Brendan's Rhyperior has only made a brief appearance at the beginning of the eleventh movie, where it was seen battling against Lucas's Magmortar.

Rhyperior's only known move is Hammer Arm.

In the manga

There are three different manga counterparts to Brendan: Ruby from the Pokémon Adventures manga, Ruby from the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga, and Rald from the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga.

In the TFG

Brendan, based on a blue recolor of this character's usual clothes, appears as a common Trainer figure in Next Quest, the launch set of the Pokémon Trading Figure Game. There is also an unreleased figurine based on him from the cancelled Groundbreakers expansion, named Landon (one of the default names for him in Pokémon Ruby and Emerald), who wears the same outfit as Brendan does in Ruby and Sapphire.

Trivia

• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pikachu wears Brendan's Emerald headband as an alternate costume. Also, the Pokémon Trainer has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.
• He and May are the only set of player characters who have a chance to speak with both a mother and a father in the games.
• In the fandom, Brendan's knit cap has commonly been mistaken for white hair. Although largely obscured by his headwear, Brendan's actual hair is visible in most depictions, usually black in color.
