Avery (Adventures)

Avery is a character appearing in the "Sword & Shield Chapter" of Pokémon Adventures.
==Appearance==
==Personality==
Avery is a descendant of a family of psychics, even though his abilities are very limited. As such, he became Mustard's student, thinking that will earn him attention he desires so much, and to become a Gym Leader as well. He also butts heads with Klara, who desires a similar attention from the dojo.
==Biography==
Avery joined Mustard's dojo with Klara. The two were promising students until they started to just show off and slack around.SWSH035
===Sword & Shield arc===
Avery had limited psychics powers, which let him levitate Poké Balls in mid air, who sold only 8 albums. In order to get better at this power, he joined the dojo just a moment before Klara arrived.SWSH031
Klara and Avery lost their uniforms to a number of Galarian Slowpoke, and the two went to chase after them. Klara wanted Avery to battle Slowpoke as a senior (as he entered the dojo a moment before her), but Avery declined. The two started bickering, until they noticed Slowpoke returning with Henry, who was unconscious. The two returned to the dojo, where they avoided Mustard's question about their missing uniforms, by showing Henry, who was poisoned. Klara went with Hyde to cure Henry, and Avery glared them at the door, nervous that she was getting more attention while he couldn't do a thing.
Once Henry recovered, Mustard asked of Klara to welcome new students. Avery tried to offer himself for this task, but Klara pushed him off, being capable of doing that. Klara ran off, and found Casey and Marvin at the Corviknight taxi, greeting them as their "senior". After a battle with her, Casey defeated her Pokémon. Avery became scared, seeing how powerful Casey was, and thought that her efforts would overshadow him.SWSH031 Avery watched with Klara as Casey and Marvin entered the dojo. Mustard wanted to give Casey a Kubfu, to which the duo protested that he'd rather give the Pokémon to outsiders than students. Mustard merely reminded them that they had yet to finish their training. As the question to develop an antidote was raised, Avery felt it was his time to gain some attention. He proudly stated he could get the group to find the sap during the foggy morning that was requested.SWSH032
Avery was showing off his telekinetic ability, sending out his Galarian Slowbro by swinging his head to release a Poké Ball. While others were impressed, Klara realized that he was training his Slowpoke in secret to evolve it, due to both of them having caught Slowpoke at the same time. Thus, she shouted how he was just making unnecessary moves. Marvin noted she was right, to which Avery realized they were criticising him as people did during his childhood days. Instead, Henry proposed that they could all catch an Abra. Everyone threw a Poké Ball but missed, except for Avery, whose telekinesis let him throw farther to catch Abra. Henry pointed out Avery could use this ability to catch Pokémon that were fleeing. Avery noted that, and swore to train Abra, and deep inside felt joy for this sense of accomplishment. He promised to assist them tomorrow in the search; Marvin wondered if he could use the ability to change weather, but Avery claimed that was too much for him. Tomorrow, Avery and Klara rejoined the group, and went to the Forest of Focus, trying to avoid wild Pokémon.
Despite realizing he couldn't use the ability to find the sap, Avery tried to concentrate himself, but was attacked by an Amoonguss. Poison-type Pokémon started attacking, to which Henry and Casey defended themselves, and even Kubfu entered the fight. As Klara tried to mention something was wrong, she got attacked by Kubfu. The latter felt guilt over that, to which Avery and Klara could relate due to how many mistakes they did to grow better. Eventually, the group reached the Forest of Focus, where Casey harvested some tree sap.SWSH033 Avery watched as Casey sent Bit to fight Kubfu, but the latter's moves impressed Avery. The group pondered about Kubfu until it showed a poisoned Zorua it wanted to cure. Since it was a wild Pokémon, Avery wanted to find a berry instead of using an artifical Antidote.
Marvin's Dracovish hit the tree to make the berries fall down, to cure Zorua. However, it fainted, due to them being guarded by Pokémon - Skowvet and Greedent. Kubfu attempted to fight them off, but due to being outnumbered, Henry, Casey and Marvin sent Twiggy, Bit and Tearie, who evolved in the battle, which made Klara and Avery grateful the trio weren't official students. The duo were amazed by the Pokémon's teamwork, but doubted mere humans would be able to reach that level of coordination. Casey pointed out it was just them that wouldn't follow orders, unlike most humans, a statement that made Klara and Avery uneasy. With the battle over, Avery decided to take the cure to the railway station to be delivered to Hammerlocke. Seeing he wanted to show off, Klara joined him, reminding that wild Pokémon could attack them, and the two ran off.SWSH034 Having delivered the cure, the two were chasing Galarian Slowpoke, and fainted at the Gym's door. Mustard noted they restarted their first trial, and let them join dinner to finish the trial tomorrow. Honey remarked that they were more motivated with Henry and Casey around. Thus, the next day, the two finished their trial by having retrieved the dojo's outfits, and wearing them.
