Nathan

Nathan (ネイサン, Neisan) is a young hailing from Monkshood Town in the Hora region. He is the younger brother of the town's Gym Leader, Cable. He later begins traveling with Silus and Lyra after they visit the Monkshood Town Gym.

Character
Nathan was born the younger brother of Monkshood Town's Pokémon Gym Leader, Cable. As the younger brother of a Gym Leader, he was held to high standards, and was not allowed to leave on a Pokémon journey, like most of his peers. Cable intended to groom Nathan to take over his place as Gym Leader, but Nathan refused, wanting to compete in the Caspia Conference and become Champion.

During this time, Nathan was given his very first Pokémon — Emolga. He then somehow managed to earn Gardenia Town's badge, the Garden Badge, from the two Gym Leaders. Nathan states that sometime prior to The Super Punchy Pokémon!, he captured a Timburr; it is assumed he caught it around this period of time.

In Double Deino Duo!, he joins up with Silus and Lyra and finally begins his Pokémon journey.

In The Super Punchy Pokémon!, Nathan joins his first official Pokémon competition, alongside his friends, by taking part in Phlox Town's annual P1 Grand Prix.
