Cross: Difference between revisions

Cross was first seen walking through [[Viridian Forest]], where he had previously abandoned a {{AP|Charmander}} that he was raising. To Cross's surprise, Charmander had obeyed his orders to wait where he left it despite the risk of staying out during a pouring rainstorm. When Charmander saw its former Trainer, it ran up to Cross and hugged him, only for Cross to kick it off his leg and tell it to leave him alone. {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} and [[Verity]], having seen the whole incident, told Cross off for leaving Charmander out to die. Cross then told them that only the strong were meant to survive before leaving. As he walked away, Cross introduced himself and proclaimed his intent on becoming the strongest Trainer around.

After Marshadow was defeated, Cross watched as Ash challenged Ho-Oh to a battle. After Ash's battle concluded, Cross, having had a change of heart, said his goodbyes to Ash and his friends. As he left, Cross promised to challenge Ash to another battle after he got stronger, and told Ash not to lose again until that day comes. He was last seen in the ending credits, sharing a meal with Lycanroc and Incineroar around a campfire.

Cross is a boy who believes that strength is everything and aims to become the ultimate Trainer. He abandoned his {{p|Charmander}} when he deemed it too weak and wouldn't listen when Ash told him that a Pokémon and its Trainer have to work together to become strong.
