'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub. | '''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of t | |||
heir strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. | |||
At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]]. | At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out.

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul is also angered by Ash's criticism of his training, then Ash proceeds to use similar training methods, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]]. | Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it.
