Josh Smith

Josh Smith is a main character in Pokemon Academy: PokeProblems and he is a Senior (Grade 12) in the Hoenn Pokemon Academy.
==Backstory==
Josh is the second oldest sibling of the Smith family. When Josh was 9, his parents left them at the family home while going on a vacation to Alola and the ship they were on vanished midtrip. Left with little choices, Josh and Jeanne used the Pokémon they had, the family Ninetales and Josh's Machop, to enter local tournaments and gain prize money. After going through tournaments for 3 years, Josh heard of the new Pokémon Academy in Hoenn and applied there to grow stronger.
==Personality==
Josh is generally a kind person, if you can get him to talk with you. He is a bit protective of his siblings, due to them growing up mostly without their parents who left them, Josh was always trying to keep them safe and secure as kids. Nowadays though, he usually is laid back and joking with others, often times failing at it. With his interests mainly being in battles and biology, Josh often skips classes that don't pertain to them as he cares more for his Pokémon than school, though he passes with Cs in his other classes by studying in his personal lab when he's about to go to bed.
