Konar Champion Josh

"He comes from a long line of experienced battlers. You'd be hard pressed to find a more dangerous enemy."
::: -Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket
"I have to feel sad for him, despite his nature. In all my years of Pokemon battling, I've never fought someone who was so bitter, so full of hate and anger and sadness. I pity his Pokemon."
::: -Naomi, former Champion of Konar

 antagonist of Blood In The Water. In the fic, he manages to take control of the League and plans to destroy the region with his Pokemon.
==Pokemon==
Josh has a strong, but very unrounded team. He mainly relies on brute strength to force his way to a win.
Pokemon	Information
 	Rayquaza is Josh's primary and signature Pokemon. It was used to terrorize Konar, and was responsible for defeating the previous Champion Namoi's Dragonite. When Anna, Haleigh, and Siobhan began to become a threat, he sent it out by itself to hunt them down and (presumably) eat them. It is quite capable of battling without Josh. Naomi states it to be level 97, making it Josh's strongest Pokemon.
 	Tyranitar is Josh's first pseudo-legendary Pokemon to obtain, and it was his last to evolve into its final form, due to its high level. Tyranitar lost to Naomi's Lucario, prompting Josh to send out Salamence. It was seen in a flashback, and has not appeared since. Naomi states it to be level 88, making Tyranitar his weakest Pokemon.
 	Garchomp is the second newest addition to Josh's team. It hasn't partaken in any battles as of yet, like most of his Pokemon. Naomi states it to be level 93.
 	Metagross is Josh's secondary transportation, if Rayquaza isn't around. He uses it to fly around thanks to its magnetism. Due to it's combination of Steel/Psychic, it is likely that Josh chose this Pokemon to cover the incredible Ice-type weaknesses the rest of his Pokemon sport. Naomi states it to be level 95.
 	Salamence is Josh's strongest non-legendary Pokemon. It was seen in a flashback to Josh's battle with Naomi, where it defeated her weakened Lucario with ease but fell under her Dragonite's attacks. It has not been seen since. Naomi states it to be level 90.
 	Giratina is Josh's second legendary Pokemon, and it is responsible for accidentally setting the plot of the fic in motion. When Josh was killed by Archer in his assault on Team Rocket's lair, Giratina brought its trainer back to life by imbibing a bit of its chaotic, otherworldly nature within. The process drove the boy insane, and he began plotting mass murder. It hasn't been seen since the flashback, although it's likely Josh has kept it around. Naomi states it to be level 92.
 	Blaziken was one of Josh's first Pokemon, likely his starter. It was only seen once, in a flashback to Josh's assault on Team Rocket's lair. It hasn't been seen since, but since Josh has six Pokemon already, it is likely that Blaziken was transferred to a PC or released. It's level is not known, but it was powerful enough to use Sky Uppercut, it is at least level 59.
==Family==
Josh's father is Giovanni of Team Rocket, and Madame Boss is his grandmother. He is a descendant of Tarquin Lawder and Lady Grenville.
