'''Roman''' (Japanese: '''チアキ''' ''Chiaki'') is one of the [[characters of the day]] in [[DP076|''A Full Course Tag Battle!'']] of the [[Pokémon anime]].

He appeared along with his fiancée, [[Kylie]]. He is the owner of the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] on the [[Valor Lakefront]]. Trainers must battle him and his fiancée in a [[Double Battle]] in order to eat in the restaurant for free.

Roman and Kylie first battled with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} and were easily defeated by them. Then they were to battle {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}. But before they could battle, Team Rocket broke in the restaurant and stole all the food. Roman was upset by this and wondered what his father would say.

After May and Dawn dealt with Team Rocket, Roman and Kylie started their battle with May and Dawn. Despite putting up a good fight, they were defeated in the end.

|desc={{p|Girafarig}} was first seen in a Double Battle being partnered with [[Kylie]]'s {{p|Drifloon}} against {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Blaziken}} and {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Their battle was interrupted however by {{TRT}} who stole all of the restaurant's food.  

After the food was reclaimed the Trainers agreed to continue the battle. Blaziken started with a {{m|Blaze Kick}} only to be countered and then hit by Girafarig's {{m|Bite}}. Piplup then attacked Girafarig, along with Drifloon, with a {{m|Whirlpool}} and was finished off in a combination of Piplup's {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Blaziken's {{m|Fire Spin}}.

A character named Roman also appears at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in a similar capacity as in the anime. However, the game Roman's Japanese name is リオ ''Rio'' and his only Pokémon are different, meaning Roman in the anime was at the most inspired by Roman in the game and is not the same character. In the games, Roman and Kylie's fathers are the owners of the restaurant.

* Roman's Japanese name contains ''aki'' meaning autumn. His fiancée's Japanese name contains ''natsu'' meaning summer.

* Both Roman and Kylie resemble the {{tc|Rich Boy}} and {{tc|Lady}} [[Trainer class]]es, respectively.

* [http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-11/episode-22-11_22-a-full-course-tag-battle/ Pokémon.com's summary for the episode] mentions Roman as '''Charleton''', possibly indicating it was an initially planned name for him.

* Roman's Girafarig knows Bite in the anime, although Girafarig [[anime move errors|cannot learn that move in the games]].
