'''Monta''' (Japanese: '''モンタ''' ''Monta'') is the main character of the manga series [[Be a Master!! Pokémon BW]].

Monta is a trainer just starting out on his journey with his starter Pokémon {{p|Snivy}} who aims to be a "Pokémon Battle Master". After successfully capturing a {{p|Patrat}}, he hears a rustle in the grass and goes to look. To his surprise, he finds a Patrat and {{p|Watchog}} and decides to capture them. After he attacks the two Pokémon start to run around in circles, he is about to throw another Poké Ball when [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]] appear. Cheren lectures him about what he is doing wrong as Monta is looking up Watchog's [[Pokédex]] entry, and he vows one day he will capture a Watchog.

He uses Snivy in a double battle with Cheren's {{p|Tepig}} against a Bike Gang King's {{p|Braviary}}, it looks like they were about to lose, but they use a combination attack fainting Braviary. Monta battles Cheren in [[PBW02]] using his {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Roggenrola}} against Cheren's Tepig, {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}}. With Cheren's vast knowledge of Pokémon and triple battles, it looked like Cheren could not lose, but was defeated by a powerful {{m|Rock Slide}} from Roggenrola.

In [[PBW03]] he captures an {{p|Emolga}}, suddenly he sees a cave and decides to go inside, he hears a rumble and suddenly a wild {{p|Excadrill}} appears, he sends out Snivy who uses some impressive moves to capture it.

He then sees a Pokémon Ranger and they battle, the Ranger uses his {{p|Zebstrika}} and {{p|Swanna}} against his new Emolga and Snivy. The Ranger is very powerful and Monta has to recall Snivy for Excadrill after Swanna's attack hit hard. The Ranger underestimated him though and Emolga and Excadrill were able to knock out their opponents with one hit.
