## Characters

* Hareta (Japanese: ハレタ), the main character and the adopted grandson of Professor Rowan. He lived most of his life in the forest with wild Pokémon, practically thinking himself as one. His clothes indicate that he is based on Lucas; however, his hairstyle is vastly different and his vest lacks the white stripe that appears on that of Lucas. Deciding it would help the boy to travel and see the world, the Professor decided he should be a Pokémon Trainer and travel with his assistant, Mitsumi, and one of his Pokémon, Piplup.
* Mitsumi (Japanese: ミツミ) is a main character and the assistant of Professor Rowan. Her clothing implies that she is based on Dawn, albeit with a clearly distinctive hairstyle. An orphan, she was raised by Team Galactic. She became extremely close to Pokemon, and easy to manipulate. On a mission to destroy Professor Rowan's lab, Rowan convinced her that Pokémon are more than just tools, and she defected from Team Galactic, becoming Rowan's assistant. Later, she came along with Hareta to find Dialga. After she went to Lake Acuity, Cyrus managed to capture Mitsumi's Eevee. With Cyrus threatening to kill Eevee if she disobeyed him, Mitsumi was forced to rejoin Team Galactic and fought Hareta. After losing, she quit Team Galactic again, causing Jupiter to explode the room she was in with Light Screen.
