But I could've sworn he was a second-year last year too. And I think even the year before that..." (: The Indigo Disk) attending Blueberry Academy, and a member of the Elite Four. He uses Pokémon.
==In the core series games==
Drayton has a friendly and laid-back personality. Although Drayton appears unserious, he is really skilled in battling. However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result.Drayton: "I'm really not made for learning in classrooms. I've gotten held back...three times I think? [...]" (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk) Drayton comes from a prestigious family and is the grandson of Drayden, the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym.Hassel: "Your grandfather Drayden informed me that you were forced to repeat a year of school... Several years, in fact!" (: The Indigo Disk) Through his grandfather, Drayton is acquainted with Hassel of Paldea's Elite Four. He used to be the , though he never formally referred to himself as one due to wanting to avoid the responsibilities of being the League Club president, which come with the title. He was eventually dethroned by Kieran, lowering him to instead being the leading member of the BB League Elite Four, situated at the Polar Plaza.
Drayton first meets the player at Central Plaza after they've defeated Carmine and takes them to the League Club Room, where he introduces them to the BB League. Drayton invites the player to the Blueberry Academy Cafeteria to discuss officially joining the club, referring to the meetup as a "date",Drayton: "If you wanna officially join us, maybe we can have a cafeteria date to talk details!" (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk) much to the ire of Carmine, who tells the player that Drayton is annoying and advises them not to trust him. Later, at the cafeteria, Drayton suggests to Kieran and the other Elite Four members that the player should be allowed to enter the BB League. After a vote between the five ends in the player's favor, Drayton helps them register for the BB League. Each time an Elite Four member is defeated other then himself, Drayton comes by to congratulate the player. Drayton is also the only Elite Four member who does not require the player to pay Blueberry Points to register for his Elite Trial, as he asks his receptionist to charge it to his account instead.
Drayton's Elite Trial forces the player to battle three using only Pokémon that were caught in the Terarium, which excludes any Pokémon caught in Tera Raid Battles. After the trial has been cleared, Drayton can be battled. The player does not need to use these Terarium Pokémon during their battle with Drayton. He rewards the player with upon being beaten.
After the player has defeated Kieran, Drayton gives them a Master Ball, following which he, along with the player, Kieran, and Carmine, are invited to Briar's classroom, where she requests that they join her on an expedition to Area Zero. While the rest accept the request, Drayton declines, claiming he needs to guide the League Club through the aftermath of Kieran's dethroning, but in reality is just feeling too lazy to travel all the way to Paldea.
After the player has caught , Drayton can be found in the League Club Room, where he offers to rematch the player once a day.
