May and her friends first met him while she was practicing with her [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly]] on the beach near [[Slateport City]] in ''[[AG033|Now that's Flower Power!]]''. Like [[Ash|Ash’s]] main rival, [[Gary]], Drew is portrayed as being confident, critical, and popular among his supporters, though generally not as overtly insulting as Gary initially was. However, also like Gary, he is not a villain by any means, despite how his comments and attitude may have angered May and her friends. His first match against May pitted her [[May's Torchic|Torchic]] against his {{p|Roselia}}, only to have it end when [[Team Rocket]] interfered. Drew’s skills have been a continuing inspiration for May to better herself as a coordinator, so much so that seeing a different Roselia will remind May of her rivalry. | ||
In Drew’s showing at the Slateport City Contest in | In Drew’s showing at the Slateport City Contest in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]'', he and his Roselia defeat May and Beautifly, but go on to lose to Robert and his {{p|Milotic}}. Drew shows up again for the [[Fallarbor |Fallarbor Contest]] in ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists!]]'', where May learns that he has three contest ribbons. Before the Fallarbor Contest begins, Drew has his first battle against Ash, pitting his Roselia against [[Ash's Swellow|Ash's Taillow]]. During the contest, however, he loses to Grace and her {{p|Medicham}}. Following the contest, Drew congratulates the winner, May, by giving her a rose. The gesture (which is repeated in later encounters) is seen by some fans to be a hint towards a [[ContestShipping|romantic relationship]] between the two. Drew claims that the roses are for May's [[Beautifly]], but the excuse seems to become more cursory each time. | ||
In [[AG077]], Drew is mobbed by the M.F.P. (Mothers for Pokémon) fan club at the Rubello Town [[Pokémon Center]]. Before the contest, May spots Drew practicing outside with his new Pokémon, {{p|Masquerain}}. May introduces Drew to her latest Pokémon, [[May's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]]. Masquerain is shown to be a Pokémon well-suited for contest battling, while Bulbasaur, though rare in [[Hoenn]], embarrasses May with its lack of discipline. Drew wins his fourth ribbon in [[AG078]] using his Roselia in the first round, and his Masquerain to defeat Sunny’s {{p|Girafarig}} and Savannah’s {{p|Lairon}}. | In ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'', Drew is mobbed by the M.F.P.

Because of his green hair and recurring appearances in the anime, some fans believe Drew to be the anime interpretation of the video game character [[Wally]]. | Because of his green hair and recurring appearances in the anime, some fans believe Drew to be the anime interpretation of the video game character [[Wally]]. |
