Kabu is a character appearing in the "Sword & Shield Chapter" of Pokémon Adventures.
==Appearance==
==Personality==
Kabu is a strict, disciplined man. He gives much to defeat his challengers, expecting the very best from them during Battles. However, after losing, he becomes very frustrated, and compensates that by yelling out loud to encourage the challengers he lost to complete the entire Gym Challenge.
==Biography==
A young Kabu was a well-known trainer in Hoenn region. However, he suffered when lies were spread out about him.
Later, when Sonia suffered loss in Ballonlea, Kabu went to comfort her, telling her about his experience as a trainer.
===Sword & Shield arc===
Kabu was in Motostoke City's Stadium. Hearing the news that Leon, the Champion, has recommended two Trainers to take on the Gym Challenge, Kabu resolved himself to use his very best to battle them.SWSH003: Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw
Kabu later faced Marnie in a Gym Battle. However, his Centiskorch lost the battle to her Morpeko.SWSH010: Blazing!! Bede's Feelings Later, he faced Henry and Bede, the two Trainers he lost against. However, he did not suffer fatigue, and took on his fourth opponent, Casey. The latter used Arrokuda, Kilo, whom she had recently retrieved. The two Trainers Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, but Kabu lost that battle, too.SWSH011: Gulp Gulp!! Pokémon
After Hop defeated Kabu, the latter, accompanied by Milo and Nessa, visited him and Casey. The three Gym Leaders wanted to congratulate Hop and Casey, for many challengers that had faced Kabu were defeated, and lost the will to complete the Gym Challenge. Hop understood, for having a skill in battling was not enough to win the battles. Kabu admitted he wanted to see them off personally, and yelled out loud: he wanted to see the two complete the challenge, having faith in them. His shouting caused many people near him to become stunned.SWSH012: Thump!! The Gazing Sage
Kabu answered to the Gym Leaders' call about Chairman Rose's questionable activities. He met up with other Gym Leaders—aside Nessa and Opal—as well as Hop, Marnie, Henry and Casey at Rose Tower. Kabu and Milo were intrigued by Rose, thinking he would bring back the Darkest Day, which was depicted on the mural at Turffield. Inside, they found Bede and Opal confronting Oleana, who refused to move, as Chairman Rose was not present. Oleana, seeing that they would not leave, sent her Pokémon to stop them, and in that moment, the group came in as well, sending their Pokémon to battle. With Chairman Rose unleashing the Darkest Day in Hammerlocke, the Pokémon of Wyndon were Dynamaxed, and this caused people to panic. In order to go to Hammerlocke, the group was picked up by Professor Magnolia, who rode away in her motorhome.
Kabu was in the motorhome heading to Hammerlocke, which, due to a collapsed bridge, took a bumpy ride on the railway. On the way, he received a call that Motostoke was having trouble with the Dynamaxed Pokémon. With the call of Trainers asking for Gym Leaders' support, Kabu remained behind in the motorhome, as Magnolia drove them away.SWSH026: Crack!! The Rusted Sword and Shield Having received word that Macro Cosmos' employees were sent to deal with Dynamaxed Pokémon in Galar cities, Kabu decided with the rest of the Gym Leaders to return to Hammerlocke to provide support. The motorhome rode away, but stopped when a blast struck a hole in the road.SWSH029 Kabu and the rest arrived to Hammerlocke, when they witnessed a bright flash coming from the rooftop. When they came to the top, they saw everyone having fallen unconscious, so they had called a medical team to take them to Hammerlocke hospital.SWSH030
