Forrest Franklin

Forrest Franklin

Forrest Franklin (Japanese: タクマ・ジロー Jirō Takuma) is a ranger who appeared as a character of the day in All in a Day's Wurmple. Forrester Franklin is Forrest's identical twin brother; Forrest is distinguished by his blue t-shirt and a mole on the left side of his face.

Forrest lives in a forest just outside Rustboro City, the place where he was born. As a Pokémon Ranger, he knows a lot about the area, such as where certain Pokémon appear. He dreams of traveling but is afraid to do so.

Forrest first appeared to help out May who was being attacked two-on-one by Team Rocket. Initially introducing himself as Franklin, he helped May to find and catch her Wurmple. Forrest admired May for her independence. Assuming that traveling helped May to become stronger, he decided to get over his fear and travel as well. At first, he suggested traveling with May and her friends but this did not happen and presumably he traveled by himself.

May took Forrest to meet Ash, Brock and Max where he encountered his brother, who had just returned from his own journey. The twin brothers explained their uncanny similarity, which helped to clear up the initial confusion.
