Raymond (Japanese: レイモンド Raymond) is Pokémon Trainer that Ash battled in Mewtwo Strikes Back and its remake.

In the anime

While Ash and his friends were having lunch at the beginning of the movie, Raymond approached them and asked Ash for a battle. Although Ash had just told his friends that he was too weak to work, he jumped up, ready to battle. In the Japanese version, he stated that he was just going to have a quick battle before lunch.

Despite Raymond's eagerness, Ash successfully knocked out all five of his Pokémon in rapid succession. In fact, Pikachu took out three of those Pokémon in one Thunderbolt when Raymond tried to unfairly gang them up on him. Raymond was stunned by the defeat, such that in the Japanese version, he exclaimed "Oh my God!!!" in English. The match also caught the attention of Mewtwo's Fearow, and this led to Ash being invited to New Island.

Notably, Raymond had a then-unknown Generation II Pokémon when he appeared: a Donphan.

Character

Raymond maintains a tough exterior, but was shown to be impulsive in battle and set on victory. He even resorted to underhanded tactics and sent out three Pokémon at once in the hopes of winning after Ash defeated two of his Pokémon.
