[[File:Paul DP.png|100px|thumb|right|Paul]]
Paul is a veteran trainer to [[Veilstone City]], much of his rivalry with Ash was due to their attitudes with their Pokémon<!--(What didn't make sense was that Ash was asking him about his missing Pikachu in the first place and Paul told him about Starly)-->. While Paul would rather focus on brute strength and heavy workouts for his Pokémon, Ash was the opposite of that which caused many fights between them.
Paul is an experienced Trainer from [[Veilstone City]]. Much of his rivalry with Ash was due to a disagreement over which [[Pokémon training]] method was correct. While Paul would focus on strengthening his Pokémon through heavy training sessions, Ash believed that [[Friendship|developing a bond]] with his Pokémon was the best way to achieve good results. This caused many confusing arguments between them throughout the series.


Paul is the trainer's original of [[Ash's Chimchar]] who was released after failing to meet their expectations during the tournament in Tag Battle [[Hearthome City]].
Paul is also the [[original Trainer]] of [[Ash's Infernape]], who was released when it was a {{p|Chimchar}} after failing to meet Paul's expectations during the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]].
 
Despite his starter being a Turtwig (which evolved to Torterra well before Diamond and Pearl), the main Pokémon he owned in the Sinnoh region is a {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} that he's trained since it was an {{p|Elekid}} and was used in the last battle against Ash in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].


Despite his [[starter Pokémon]] being a {{p|Turtwig}}, which evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} before its introduction, Paul's main Pokémon is an {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} that he trained since it was an {{p|Elekid}} and was used in the last battle against Ash in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].
