Tyson (Hoenn): Difference between revisions

Tyson first appeared in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'', in which he rescued {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a flock of {{p|Murkrow}} with his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}}. They quickly became friends as it turns out they were going to the same place to eat and because Tyson has a certain fondness for food like {{an|May}}. The group met up with him interacting with [[Charles Goodshow]], where he found out that Ash and Brock were also torch-runners [[EP074|in the past]]. Later, {{TRT}} disguised as an [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], went up to Tyson and ran off with the tournament's {{p|Moltres}}-flamed torch. He warned Ash and the gang that they ran off with the torch and chased after them. Tyson stopped [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]] by having his {{p|Metagross}} use {{m|Confusion}}. His Meowth successfully took the torch from the {{MTR|talking one}} and finished the villains with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Tyson is generally laid back and humble. He regularly complements others like when he noted {{an|Brock}}’s skills as a [[Pokémon Breeder]] after his picky Meowth took a liking to Brock's handmade food. He enjoys traveling between towns to reach the next [[Gym]], and takes time out of his training schedule to try out the local eateries.  

He has a deep and personal connection with his Pokémon, giving them pep talks and makes an effort to spend time with them.  

In {{pkmn|battle}}, Tyson is stern and quickly takes charge of the situation. He is a tactical {{pkmn|Trainer}}, who makes use of [[type]] advantages and brute force. Tyson was taken aback by some of {{Ash}}'s unconventional methods and stamina in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]''. To control the situation, he maintained his typical strategy of using his Pokémon's attacks like Meowth's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{p|Hariyama}}'s {{m|Arm Thrust}} to deflect damage. While confident in his abilities, he continues to hone his techniques by observing others in battle.
