Ephraim

Ephraim (Japanese: ミノル Minoru) was the character of the day for The Grass Route.

He is a son of a couple of farmers who live in Johto. He specializes in raising Grass-type Pokémon, mainly because his parents use a large collection of Grass-type Pokémon to maintain their farm. He convinced Ash to enter his Chikorita and Bulbasaur in the Grass Tournament, held near where he lives.

Ash faced Ephraim in the finals of the tournament, with Ephraim using Skiploom and Ash using Bulbasaur. Skiploom almost lost, but learned Solar Beam at the last moment. It defeated Bulbasaur, and won the tournament. Ephraim's prize was a collection of Leaf Stones, which he planned on using to evolve his parents' Pokémon.
