(Japanese: シューティー Shooti) is a Pokémon Trainer from the Isshu region and a rival of Ash.
History
Shooti was introduced in BW001 as a beginning Trainer ready to choose his first Pokémon. After meeting with Professor Araragi, he chose Tsutarja as his new partner. Shortly after obtaining it, he challenged Ash Ketchum to a Pokémon battle. He had much interest in battling Pikachu, a species that is foreign in his region. Because Pikachu could not use any Electric attacks, Shooti easily defeated Ash.
Shooti appeared again at a Battle Club in BW010, where he and Ash had a 5 on 5 battle. He offered to have a full battle with Ash, which means that he has access to at least 6 Pokémon. His Hatooboo defeated Ash's Mijumaru and Pokabu in one hit with its Super Luck-boosted Aerial Ace.
Character
Shooti is a Pokémon photographer, in which he takes photos of Pokémon and places with a green digital camera. In BW010, he is also shown to possess a Live Caster.
He is a quiet individual who prefers to keep his emotions to himself and becomes annoyed by Ash's overly-expressive personality, referring to him as a hillbilly multiple times. He insults Ash by calling him a weak Trainer. He bears many parallels to Paul.
Despite having just started out as a trainer, Shooti has shown himself to be an extremely skilled battler, already implementing many strategies in his battling. His Hatooboo took out both Ash's Mijumaru and Pokabu with one Aerial Ace, his Janovy was able to defeat Pikachu twice despite Pikachu being a much more experienced battler, and his Pururiru defeated Ash's Mamepato with one Aerial Ace. Also, both times he has faced Ash, he has won twice, despite Ash being a much more experienced trainer.
