Avery comes from a long line of psychics who run the Psychic-type Gym in Galar. However, he is considered by his family to be a disappointment due to lacking psychic skills like teleportation or telepathy for example. At some point, he obtained a Galarian Slowpoke. Because of the pressure, he developed a very proud personality that would levitate anymore who defeated him. This behavior lead to his Gym Trainer's status being revoked. During his desperation and depression, he discovered the Master Dojo, through his partner Slowpoke, that would lead him to visit to the Isle of Armor in order to train under Mustard so he could improve on inheriting the position of Psychic-type Gym Leader.

He is first seen by the player at Wedgehurst Station, obtaining the Armor Pass needed to visit the Isle of Armor. Before he can get on the train, a Galarian Slowpoke appeared blocking the way, which resulted in Avery requiring the player to catch it. After complimenting on the player's capture of Galarian Slowpoke, he gets on the train for the Isle of Armor. He eventually reached his location and becomes a student at the Master Dojo. He initially caused friction with the other students, but he started to become more friendly through Mustard and his wife Honey. Though he trained hard, he became lazy from the lack of a rival and motivation to improve himself.

League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Avery's League Cards in Pokémon Shield.

Normal League Card

"Avery comes from a long-standing family of psychics. Each Psychic-type Gym Leader of Galar has been from the same bloodline as Avery, and thus, Avery has been destined to bear the burden of Gym Leader since even before he was born. Ever since he was a child, Avery could freely move things with his mind but lacked other skills, such as teleportation or telepathy. This has caused the rest of his family to label him as a disappointment. Avery has a great deal of respect for Slowpoke, as they go about their business at their own pace, no matter what others say."

Rare League Card

"Avery has always been very proud and would levitate any opponent who dared defeat him. This behavior caused his status as a Gym Trainer to be revoked. During this time of despair and desperation, his Slowpoke found a flyer for the Master Dojo, leading to Avery's current circumstances. Avery caused friction with many of the other students initially, but the kindness of Honey and Mustard slowly helped him to mellow out and become more friendly. Recently he has been training hard with his now-evolved Slowbro to prove himself better than a certain new student at the dojo."

Quotes

Pokémon Shield

Wedgehurst Station

"Naturally. I have made all the proper preparations, which you can observe with unclouded eyes."

"Hmph. To meet a Slowpoke... Such a thing is simply elegant."

• If talked to prior to interacting with the Slowpoke

"Could this be your first time ever seeing a Galarian Slowpoke? Where they're from might be different, but they're still just as carefree as other Slowpoke."

• After catching the Slowpoke

"Hmmm? How interesting... I must say, your catching style was quite simply elegant."

"Understood."

"I am headed to an island called the Isle of Armor. I've heard it's a place where one can catch rare Pokémon and do lots of training. Perhaps we shall meet again sometime. Well then, please excuse me."

Trivia

• Avery's uniform number is "026", which can be read in Japanese as goroawase for おつむ otsumu, meaning "brain".
