Professor Birch: Difference between revisions

Birch has a keen interest in field research, in which he studies Pokémon habitats and behaviors. Because his line of work requires him to be primarily outside his lab, Birch's assistant {{OBP|Joshua|assistant}} is often left running the lab and giving new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s their [[starter Pokémon]]. He is good friends with [[Norman]], and was also familiar with Norman's daughter {{an|May}}, as mentioned in ''[[AG001|Get The Show On The Road]]''.

Personally, Birch is jovial and carefree, but has a reckless driving style in which he regularly jumps ledges and travels on winding mountain roads. He was also a fantastic mentor, even though he does not like teaching, and he is held in high regard by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s like {{jo|Harrison}}. He enjoys playing with Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing!]]'', where he quickly understood a group of {{p|Seedot}} and befriended them. However, he often finds himself in precarious situations and is often attacked by [[wild Pokémon]] during his expeditions.
