'''Robert''' (Japanese: '''ロバート''' ''Robert'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Silver Rock Isle]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Robert and Milotic.png|thumb|left|220px|Robert and his Milotic]]
Robert debuted in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]'', where he was seen participating in the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. In the first round, he delivered a performance that left the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] very impressed and secured him a place among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s moving on to the [[Contest Battle]]s. There, he faced off against [[Drew]] in the semifinals and proved to be a very tough opponent, lowering enough of Drew's points to be announced as the winner of their battle when the five-minute time limit expired. He was later shown receiving the Slateport [[Ribbon]] from [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]].

In ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', Robert took part in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where he was briefly seen competing in the preliminary [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], during which he successfully showcased his {{p|Milotic}} to proceed to the next stage. In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', he used Milotic yet again for the secondary Appeals Round, scoring a perfect 100 and advancing to the Battle Stage.

In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', Robert nearly became a victim of {{TRT}} when they tried to steal his identity and his Pokémon so [[Jessie]] could compete in the [[Grand Festival]]. {{Ash}} appeared right at that moment to stop Team Rocket using his {{p|Snorunt}}. However, the Snow Hat Pokémon couldn't get its {{m|Ice Beam}} to work and so Robert took Snorunt aside and told it how to focus its energy when executing the attack. After [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{AP|Glalie}}, it managed to properly use its {{type|Ice}} [[move]] to send Team Rocket blasting off, thanks in part to Robert's pep talk.

Robert then proceeded to the finals of the Grand Festival, where he found himself up against Drew once again. Just like in the Slateport Contest, Robert easily defeated Drew, thus earning the [[Ribbon Cup]] as well as the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. According to Drew, immediately after he won, he began {{pkmn|training}} for the next Grand Festival so no one will get better than him.

===Character===
Robert is a very skilled [[Pokémon Coordinator]] as he advanced to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] with a high score in both the {{ci|Slateport}} {{pkmn|Contest}} and the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. He also seems to be a calm and collected person. This was shown when {{TRT}} attacked him and he remained composed even though they were trying to steal his Pokémon.

Robert is dedicated towards his goal and takes Pokémon Contests very seriously, starting to practice for the next [[Grand Festival]] soon after winning the [[Hoenn]] [[Ribbon Cup]]. He seems to be very knowledgeable about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as shown when he told [[Ash's Snorunt]] the key to control its un-mastered {{m|Ice Beam}} attack.

Robert was then declared the winner of the battle and he went on to win the whole Contest.

It later appeared in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'' where it was used in the Appeals Round of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]].

Robert appeared in ''[[SP21|The Enchanting Pokémon Soul!]]''. Unlike the anime, he did not have a name and has a different appearance, having shorter hair and wearing a baseball cap and casual clothes rather than having long hair and an aristocratic inspired fashion sense.

He participated in the same Pokémon Contest that {{an|May}} and [[Drew]] were competing. He was able to get past the first round and battled a Coordinator and his {{p|Seedot}} where he won. After Drew defeated May, Robert battled him in the final round where he was able to defeat him and win the Pokémon Contest.
