'''Oliver''' (Japanese: '''セイヤ''' ''Seiya'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]''. He is from [[Goldenrod City]].

During the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] competition, Oliver met {{Ash}} and challenged him to a Normal Class [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}. He sent out his {{p|Meganium}} against [[Ash's Pikachu]], and despite having the type advantage, Meganium lost after a tough battle. Afterwards, he congratulated Ash and promised he would be victorious in the next battle.

<!--Do NOT add male as a gender. Meganium's gender difference is based off an appendage being smaller/longer between genders, which is harder to nail down than the more obvious gender differences, as animators may make mistakes in making the antennae too long in one scene or too short in another.-->

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version, Seiya and Soshinium are named after and portrayed by Seiya and Soshina, who together form the Japanese comedy duo {{wp|Shimofuri Myojo}}.
** Shimofuri Myojo is based in Osaka. Osaka's [[Pokémon world]] counterpart is [[Goldenrod City]], Seiya's [[hometown]].
** Similarly, in the English dub, Oliver and Stanium are named after the members of {{wp|Laurel and Hardy}}, a comedy duo formed by {{wp|Oliver Hardy}} and {{wp|Stan Laurel}}.
* Oliver's hair has the shape of ''{{wp|hibiscus}}'' leaves, a possible reference to his [[type]] specialty, in this case, {{t|Grass}}.
