Violet's Rotom Phone

(Japanese: ロトじい Rotojī) is a Rotom Phone that Violet owns in Pokémon Adventures. In addition to possessing a Pokédex app, Rotojī was outfitted with an artificial intelligence, allowing it to communicate with humans.
History
Past
Rotojī was originally a human butler that served the Lang family. While he and Violet were very close, the butler worried the boy's pampered lifestyle would him ill-prepared for integrating into regular society. He attempted to slowly convince Violet that he wasn't actually royalty like he was raised to believe, but the butler passed away before he could accomplish this. Wanting to console their grieving son, Violet's parent enlisted the help of researchers to program an AI copy of the butler's personality onto a Rotom Phone. Violet later attached a mustache to the phone to make it better resemble its human counterpart.
Rotojī debuted in the Scarlet & Violet arc. When Violet transferred into Uva Academy, he and Rotojī began searching through the student registry for a student named Arven. When Jacq arrived in the teacher's lounge, he mistook the two for intruders. After clearing up the misunderstanding, Rotojī requested that Jacq install a Pokédex app onto it, which he accepted.
