Drayton (Japanese: カキツバタ Kakitsubata) is a character introduced in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. He is a student attending Blueberry Academy, and a member of the BB League Elite Four.[1]
In the core series games
Although Drayton appears unserious, he is really skilled in battling. However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result.[1] According to a certain NPC, he comes from a prestigious family and his grandfather is a Gym Leader in Unova — implied to be Drayden.
