Romeo

Romeo (Japanese: ロミオ Romeo) is a character of the day who appeared in Love at First Flight.

He grew up in Lake May alongside his good friend Juliet. He fell deeply in love with Juliet, but always became nervous when around her. This affected their preparations for the upcoming May festival, as it caused him to bumble through his performance motions.

May took particular interest in assisting Romeo in realizing his emotions for Juliet. Her attempt to have Ash pose as Juliet failed miserably. Later, he sprung into action to help save Juliet's Illumise, who had been stolen by Team Rocket. Romeo and his Volbeat helped defeat the evil trio. After seeing Illumise display her affections for Beat, Romeo gained the courage to confess his own feelings for Juliet, which were revealed to be mutual. Romeo had regained his confidentce and the pair went on to put on a well-received May Festival light show for the crowd.

Romeo has a Volbeat named Beat (Japanese: ビート Beat), who fell in love with Juliet's Illumise. He first appeared practicing with Illumise for the May Festival, but Romeo's clumsiness caused them to all fall into the water and he had to be saved Brock's Lotad.

He appeared again when Romeo showed Ash and his friends the routine. Romeo then used Beat to find Illumise who had been kidnapped by Team Rocket, who also captured the other Volbeat. Beat used Double-Edge to try to destroy the cage that held the other Volbeat captive. Freeing the Volbeat, Beat along with the other Volbeat used a five-way Signal Beam attack, effectively blasting Team Rocket off. Illumise rewarded Beat with a kiss on the cheek for his rescue efforts. In the end, Beat along with the rest of the Volbeat performed perfectly for the festival.

Beat is distinguished among Romeo's other Volbeat as he wears a red bow tie.

Beat's known moves are Tail Glow, Quick Attack, Double-Edge and Signal Beam.

They first appeared practicing with Beat and Illumise, but Romeo's clumsiness caused them to all fall into the water and they had to be saved by Brock and Ash's Pokémon. They appeared again when Romeo showed Ash and his friends the routine. Romeo then used his Volbeat to find Illumise, but then Team Rocket appeared to suck them up. They were freed by Beat's Double-Edge. Illumise then used Sweet Scent to stop them from being vaccumed up and Romeo called for a five-way Signal Beam attack, effectively blasting Team Rocket off.
