Justin

==Biography==
===Johto===
===Hoenn===
==Personality and Characteristics==
As a trainer, Justin incorporates his father's battle style of balance in battle, ensuring that they each express a balance between defense, speed, and power. Most all of Justin's Pokemon have an aptitude for speed and power, but Justin is not entirely concerned how their defense is expresssed. For example, Justin's Eevee knows Double Team for evasion as a form of defense while Furret can use Coil to boost his natural defenses. Skiploom can use Fairy Wind to repel contact attacks. Plusle and Gardevoir can use Nuzzle and Hypnosis, respectively to immobilize opponents. 
Due to his mother's training, Justin developed a natural talent for Pokemon Contests, but he does not like to actually perform. Ironically, it is because of his mother's training that Justin tends to focus on his Pokemon's strengths instead of his opponents' weaknesses when battling. By this focus, Justin can channel this focus into appeals, which is all about showing off a Pokemon's beauty and abilities. When Justin tried his hand at a Contest in Hoenn, he won it on his first try but shares he did not feel any passion in performing. Many, including Top Coordinator Juan, believe Justin has the ability to become a Top Coordinator himself. However, Justin recognizes a stark difference in gym battles and contest battles and he is not able to bridge the gap to train his Pokemon for the latter, such as making contest combinations.
Justin was able to use his contest gifts to help Evyr win the Oldale Contest. He also traveled with and mentored Rachel during their travels in Hoenn, leading her to advance to the Top 4 of the Hoenn Grand Festival. Justin often helped Rachel with appeals and battle tactics but made the initial mistake of spoon-feeding her ideas instead of encouraging her to develop and improve her own ideas. Once Justin and Rachel acknowledged this mistake in mentoring, Justin only helped Rachel train and judge her own performances.
