(Japanese: バイオレット・ラング Violet Lang) is a main character in the manga series Pokémon Adventures. He is a student at Uva Academy.
Character
Calling himself Paldea's "Prince of Speed," Violet aspires to be the fastest in the region. He is searching for Herba Mystica so he can help Miraidon increase its speed. Violet is enthusiastic about racing and is easily distracted whenever he assumes a race is about to begin.
Violet is well-intentioned and quite cheerful, often happy to try new things. He has a habit of accepting any request without hesitation, even agreeing to help Cassiopeia after they hacked Rotojī. However, Violet's pampered background and lack of proper socialization as a child has made him rather arrogant, sensitive, and overly dependent on others.
According to artist Satoshi Yamamoto, Violet was designed using his own customizable player character in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.[1] At first, he used the default hairstyle, but felt that it wouldn't be too distinguishable from Ortega. He showed the list of hairstyles in the game's strategy guide to members of his family, asking which one looked like a prince, and based Violet's design on their suggestions.[2]
History
Past
Violet is heir to the prestigious Lang family. At the insistence of his parents, the butlers and maids serving the family always referred to Violet as "Prince", which led to him believing he was actually royalty. One butler that was especially close to Violet worried the boy's overly-pampered lifestyle would make it hard for him to integrate into regular society. The butler attempted to slowly convince Violet he wasn't actually a real prince, but passed away before he could accomplish this. To console their grieving son, Violet's parents commissioned a Rotom Phone containing an AI copy of the butler's personality onto it. This Rotom Phone was given the name Rotojī and a mustache to make it resemble its human counterpart.
Violet's parents later enrolled their son at Uva Academy in order to honor the butler's wishes. Shortly before attending school, Violet and Rotojī witnessed an injured Miraidon crash-landing on a beach near Cabo Poco. Violet went to check if Miraidon was alright, only for it to steal one of his sandwiches and begin following him around. Shortly afterward, Violet received a call from Professor Turo, who informed him that Miraidon's condition could be cured if it was fed the Herba Mystica. At Turo's suggestion, Violet set out to find Turo's son Arven, who had been doing research on the mysterious plants.
Scarlet & Violet arc
Violet debuted in PASV01. Shortly after arriving at Uva Academy, Violet and Rotojī began looking for Arven's whereabouts. Their search led to Violet crashing the school's opening ceremony and competing in a race against several teachers. All the commotion alerted Arven, who demanded to know how Violet came in contact with Miraidon. Violet ignored the question and instead dragged Arven along to assist in his quest to obtain the Herba Mystica.
In PASV02, Violet and Arven traveled to Asado Desert, home of Iron Treads, the Quaking Earth Titan. Violet challenged Iron Treads to battle, but was easily defeated, allowing the Titan to flee. Recognizing that Iron Treads was too powerful at their current level, Violet and Arven decided to challenge the Titan again after they trained and caught more Pokémon. While battling wild Pokémon, Violet came across a pair of Team Star Grunts attempting to recruit a girl named Penny against her wishes. Violet used Fuecoco to defeat the Grunts and force them to retreat. Penny thanked Violet for helping her, only for him to react in confusion when she referred to him as "Prince" despite being a complete stranger.
In PASV04, Penny explained that as a fellow Uva Academy student, she was present at the Treasure Hunt's opening ceremony. After Penny left, Rotojī was hacked by someone going by the name "Cassiopeia". The caller recruited Violet and Arven as members of Operation Starfall, a plan to defeat each of Team Star's five squad bosses and force the group to disband. Days later, Violet and Arven arrived at the Segin Squad's Base, where they were approached by Clavell. Disguised as a student named Clive, Clavell requested to join Operation Starfall as well, which Cassiopeia accepted. Violet was unable to see through his disguise, much to Arven's bafflement, but Clavell quietly told Arven to play along.
In PASV05, Violet and Arven battled through waves of Grunts while Clavell played support by healing their injured Pokémon. Once the Grunts were defeated, their boss Giacomo stepped out to face Violet. Using his DJ skills, Giacomo tricked Violet and his Pokémon into unconsciously following the beat of his background music, throwing their movements off. Once Violet saw through Giacomo's strategy, he immediately launched a counterattack and emerged victorious using a Tera Orb he received from Clavell. Accepting his defeat, Giacomo stepped down as a boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.
Later, at South Province (Area Three), Violet and Arven encountered Klawf, the Stony Cliff Titan. Despite their best efforts, the Titan kept dodging their Pokémon's attacks by using the area's terrain to its advantage. Realizing that a higher location would be the best way to find Klawf's whereabouts, Violet had Arven climb up the nearest watchtower. Once he reached the top, Arven found Nemona, who desperately begged for an opportunity to also take on a Titan. Together, Arven and Nemona kept track of Klawf's movements, allowing them to launch a pincer attack and lead Klawf into the path of Violet's next attack, driving it off. With Klawf defeated, Arven used the Sweet Herba Mystica it was guarding to make sandwiches for everyone to enjoy. The sandwich successfully restored some of Miraidon's strength, giving it the ability to dash, much to Violet's delight.
