Andreas

Andreas (Japanese: トキオ Tokio) is a character of the day in the Pokémon anime who appeared in Hook, Line and Stinker.

Andreas was a competitor in the Seaking Catching Day in Johto. He had a very arrogant attitude, especially towards Misty and her Poliwhirl. He claimed that his Poliwrath was far superior, and that he would win the competition. Misty told Poliwhirl not to listen to Andreas, and that it was just as good as Andreas's Poliwrath.

Sure enough, Misty ended up winning the contest by capturing the winning Seaking. Andreas, impressed with her victory, told Misty that she was a worthy opponent and deserved to win the contest.

Andreas had a habit of calling Misty "Red".
