Crispin (Japanese: アカマツ Akamatsu) is a character introduced in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. He is a first-year student attending Blueberry Academy and a member of the BB League Elite Four. He uses Fire-type Pokémon.
In the core series games
Crispin enjoys cooking as well as battling and often cooks for the other members of the Elite Four after they finish their club activities. His parents run a restaurant that he plans to take over once he finishes school.[2] He appears to have a crush on Lacey[3][4] and is ranked as the lowest Elite Four member in Blueberry Academy, situated at Savanna Plaza.
Crispin is first met at the Blueberry Academy Cafeteria, where he votes in favor of the player getting to enter the BB League. His Elite Trial consists of the player having to create a super spicy sandwich from ingredients gathered from League Club members. After the trial has been cleared, Crispin can be battled. He rewards the player with TM207 (Temper Flare) upon being beaten.
When Kieran is dethroned by the player as the BB League Champion and seemingly demoted to being the highest-ranked Elite Four member, Crispin is alarmed when told that he could lose his own Elite Four position as a result of that shift, being its lowest-ranked member, though Kieran later withdrawing from the League altogether and Lacey temporarily freezing the current BB League ranks saves him from this fate.
After the player has caught Terapagos, Crispin can occasionally be found in the League Club Room, where he offers to rematch the player once a day.
Pokémon
Crispin keeps his Pokémon in Quick Balls. He will always send out Blaziken last and Terastallize it at the first opportunity.
Traded to the player
Upon the third unique interaction with Crispin in the League Club Room, he will trade a Magby to the player in exchange for almost any Pokémon excluding Shiny, Legendary, or Mythical Pokémon.

Trivia
- Crispin notices if the player does not put bread on top of their sandwich during his Elite Four trial and says, "I'm a bit surprised you didn't put bread on top, though. Is that a Paldean thing...?"
- This may be a reference to the fact that players commonly move the top bread out of the way to intentionally miss the sandwich, because placing it in the center adds no value to Meal Powers, but carries the risk of knocking other ingredients off.
- As the lowest ranking member, all of Crispin's Pokémon are one level lower than the rest of the BB League Elite Four's.
- If the player chooses Fuecoco as their first partner Pokémon, Crispin is the only NPC Trainer in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet who Terastallizes their Pokémon into the Fire type.
- Crispin is the only BB League Elite Four member whose strongest Pokémon is not a Steel-type.
- Crispin is in the same class as Kieran, as mentioned by Carmine in their League Club conversation.[5]
