John (Japanese: ジョン John) is a character who appeared in Pokémon: Twilight Wings, and the main character of its first episode.

History

 
John on the hospital roof

John is currently being treated for unknown illness in hospital, where he met his good friend Tommy while they shared a wardroom. They bonded over their shared dreams of becoming Pokémon Trainers like their idol Champion Leon. John, in particular, wants to watch one of Leon's matches in-person.

In Letter, John and Tommy learned that Chairman Rose, who operates the Galar Pokémon League, was coming to visit the hospital. John was determined to write a letter for Leon and missed out on the visit entirely. He and Tommy rushed to the hospital roof, where they were able to deliver the letter to Chairman Rose.

In Moonlight, John remained in hospital for further observation following another operation. Tommy, meanwhile, had been released from hospital after making a full recovery. The two had a fight before Tommy was discharged over John's ambitions of becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Tommy, following on the advice of Allister, sneaked into the hospital and apologized to John for his earlier comments. John accepted the apology, with the pair vowing to become the greatest Trainers together.

After making several appearances throughout the Pokémon: Twilight Wings series, John's letter finally reached Leon in Moonlight.

Character

John is determined and hopes to become a great Pokémon Trainer just like his idol Champion Leon once he recovers from hospital. He is enthusiastic and takes pride in his collection of Leon memorabilia that decorates his wardroom. However, he can become too fixated by one thing, with his friend Tommy often reminding John to stay realistic about his condition.
