Ryu

Ryu (Japanese: リュウ Ryū), known as Ron in Chuang Yi's translation, is a character from Pokémon Adventures and is Clair's disciple.

Character

Ryu was considered to be interested in Clair as seen when he mentioned about her family history.

History

Ryu was first seen having a battle with his master, Clair. Although he fought hard, Clair's Dragonair managed to easily defeat his Seadra and won the battle. Although she stated that Ryu needed more training before he could defeat her, Clair praised his use of Twister and Smokescreen to block her vision. When Clair notes that a worthy challenger hasn't come by in a while, Ryu brings up the fact that only her cousin Lance was able to best her in battle. This angers Clair, who proceeds to kick Ryu in the face.

Ryu makes a cameo appearance in a flashback in Dealing With A Koffing Fit, where he overhears Clair's conversation with Lance over the Pokégear.
