'''Kenny''' (Japanese: '''コウタ''' ''Kōta'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School!]]''.

Kenny started out as a timid boy who was fearful of even touching a Pokémon. During a school field trip, Kenny and his classmates were searching for a {{p|Poliwag}} that had run off. After [[Max]] found Poliwag under a bench, {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} accused him of ruining the class trip and [[Anita]] stood up for Kenny.

Later, Kenny was watching a lecture from {{an|Professor Oak}} via videochat when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walked in during class. As Max was introduced to Anita, he learned that Kenny's parents as well as her own forced their children to attend the [[Pokémon Trainers' School|Pokémon Trainer's School]] at [[Rustboro City]]. After [[Brock's Lotad]] had trouble following his command to use {{m|Water Gun}} in front of [[Roxanne]]'s students, Ash tried to help Kenny overcome his fear of touching Pokémon by having him pet {{AP|Pikachu}}. However Tommy deliberately stepped on Poliwag's tail, causing it to fire off a Water Gun, though Max leaped to Kenny's safety.

Outside, Kenny watched the {{pkmn|battle}} between Max and Tommy. When {{TRT}} arrived with the stolen Pokémon from the school, Kenny proved to be the hero in the situation. He urged Max to use an actual attack, instead of relying on defensive moves constantly like he did during his match. Kenny also coordinated Anita and Tommy's contributions to taking down Team Rocket. After Team Rocket was defeated, Kenny petted Magby and Poliwag, showing that he had finally overcome his fear of touching Pokémon. At this, Tommy finally came to respect Kenny and they both became friends.
