**Raven** (Japanese: **レイベン** *Reiben*) is a Pokémon Trainer hailed from the city of Wyndon in the Galar region.

## **New Era**

### **Johto Journey**

Raven first appeared shortly before the start of the Silver Conference, where she offered to assist Dwayne in retrieving the Ho-Oh Sacred Flame from a wild Sneasel, Machop, and Machoke who were stopping Trainers from collecting it, effectively preventing the Johto League to kick off.

Dwayne and Raven are almost at the shrine. However, they almost get battered by Machoke's Rock Smash, but they lean back to avoid it. They spot the Machop and the Machoke that the attendant was talking about. Dwayne then brings out his Totodile to battle. Raven orders her Duraludon to use Stone Edge on Machop while Dwayne orders Totodile to use Water Gun on Machoke. With the Fighting duo occupied, Raven orders Dwayne to enter the shrine. He opens the doors and gazes at the magnificent Sacred Flame for a moment before Sneasel tries to take a swing at him, but Dwayne jumps out of the way. Dwayne sends out Misdreavus for a Shadow Ball attack, but Sneasel leaps and avoids it. Sneasel strikes back with Ice Beam and knocks Misdreavus down, but not out. Totodile and Duraludon finally knock out Machoke and Machop with a Slash and Steel Beam, respectively, and along with Raven, rush towards Dwayne. Misdreavus tries to weaken Sneasel's Defenses with Screech, but Sneasel dodges it again. Finally, Sneasel gives Misdreavus a Poison Jab that throws Misdreavus right into Dwayne. Both get sent right back down the hill, and their descent ends when they collide into a tree. Raven and the other Pokémon rush towards their side, asking if they were alright, and Dwayne assures them that they were fine. Dwayne picks himself up and declares that Sneasel is more powerful than he expected, and they decide to retreat for the time being.

Later, Dwayne and Raven return to the shrine, but Machoke and Machop have recovered. Dwayne sends out Noctowl and Raven uses Duraludon. Noctowl takes Machop down with a Sky Attack, and Duraludon hits Machoke with Dragon Pulse. This knocks the fighters back, but Sneasel orders them forward again. Noctowl uses Extrasensory while Duraludon simply uses its sheer physical strength to lift them up and throw them down the hill. The duo crashes through a tree and hit the ground hard, much to the surprise of the shrine attendant. Raven turns her attention to the Sneasel, and decides to battle with her strongest Pokémon, and brings out her Cinderace. The first attack Cinderace uses is Mega Kick, which Sneasel has no chance of dodging. Sneasel tries to counter with Throat Chop, but Cinderace dodges and counters with Flamethrower. Cinderace gives Sneasel Blaze Kick, knocking it down. Raven throws an Ultra Ball at Sneasel, and successfully catches the Pokémon. Dwayne congratulates Raven on her latest catch before turning his attention to the Sacred Flame.

With the obstacles now clear, the torch runners can finally begin the long-awaited relay to the Silver Conference stadium. The shrine attendant thanks everyone for their efforts and reveals that he has decided to hire the Machoke and Machop to permanently protect the shrine. Raven reveals that she'll be competing at the tournament and she's looking forward to seeing Dwayne there.

When Dwayne and Sydney's Pokémon engaged in a brawl before their official match, Raven had her Alcremie use Sweet Scent to calm both parties down to prevent both Trainers from getting disqualified from the tournament.

Raven breezes through the screening round of the Silver Conference, as well as the majority of the tournament, and she ultimately reaches the finals, where Raven finds herself battling against Dwayne in a Full Battle, just as Raven herself predicted. Raven, wearing a standard Galar battling uniform, says that she would proudly represent Galar and win the tournament. Dwayne and Raven send out Houndoom and Ursaring, respectively. Raven starts the battle by ordering Ursaring to use Hammer Arm on the field, which causes the ground to shake violently, and Houndoom loses his balance as a result, and Raven quickly commands a follow-up Thunder Punch, which hits Houndoom directly, causing severe damage. As Houndoom struggles to get back up, Dwayne mumbles that Raven truly was an incredible Trainer, and orders Houndoom to hang in there. Raven then tells Ursaring to end the battle with another Thunder Punch, but as Ursaring closes in, Dwayne tells Houndoom to crunch Ursaring's hand, which it does, and Thunder Punch gets cancelled. As Ursaring unsuccessfully tries to free itself, Dwayne commands Houndoom to use Flamethrower, which blasts Ursaring back, before Houndoom knocks it out with a follow-up Thunder Fang.

Raven then sends out Sneasel, the same one she captured before the tournament opened. Houndoom uses Fire Blast, but Sneasel dodges and and charges towards Houndoom with Poison Jab, but Houndoom jumps to dodge the attack and follows up with Flamethrower. Sneasel uses Ice Beam to create a wall of ice to block Houndoom's attack, before finally knocking it out with Throat Chop. Dwayne then recalls Houndoom and sends Misdreavus as his second Pokémon. Dwayne commands a Shadow Ball, but Sneasel fires off an Ice beam that overpowers Shadow Ball. However, Misdreavus quickly charges towards Sneasel and uses Confuse Ray, leaving Sneasel confused. With Sneasel unable to properly battle, Misdreavus knocks it out with a flurry of Shadow Ball and Power Gem.

Raven chooses Stantler to fight next. Misdreavus tries a Shock Wave, but Stantler blocks the attack with Protect. Stantler then replies with a Hypnosis, which puts Misdreavus to sleep, and Stantler follows up with Shadow Ball, knocking out Misdreavus. Dwayne sends out Heracross out next, but Stantler quickly outspeeds Heracross and puts him to sleep as well with Hypnosis. Stantler then takes advantage of the situation by using Dream Eater. As Stantler slowly absorbs Heracross's energy, its target soon wakes up in a rage, not appreciating at having his dreams stolen, as Stantler becomes shocked. With a single Megahorn, Stantler is blasted into the stadium's walls, and gets knocked out of the battle. The announcer orders a five-minute intermission due to three of Raven's Pokémon being unable to battle.

The second half of the battle begins; Dwayne sends out Noctowl and Raven chooses Alcremie. Noctowl hits Alcremie with a Confusion, but Alcremie weakens him with Charm. Noctowl is then struck by Alcremie's Dazzling Gleam. Noctowl recovers and attempts to use Sky Attack. However, Alcremie knocks it out of the sky with a blindingly fast Giga Impact, winning Raven the round. Dwayne sends Heracross back out. As Heracross prepares to use his Fury Attack, Alcremie uses Sweet Scent, decrasing Heracross's movements because of the scent. Heracross manages to free himself from the influence before knocking Alcremie out with a Megahorn. Raven's fifth Pokémon is her Duraludon. Heracross uses Arm Thrust, but Duraludon uses Stone Edge to stop Heracross dead in his tracks, and after Heracross gets blasted by the attack, Duraludon follows up with a vicious Hyper Beam, which knocks Heracross out of the battle. Dwayne's next Pokémon is Roserade. Roserade starts with Bullet Seed, but a Dragon Pulse attack from Duraludon easily pushes through the seeds. Dwayne orders a Petal Dance, but Duraludon manages to withstand the attack, and as Duraludon continues to get engulfed by the attack, Raven commands a Steel Beam, and the attack blasts through the petals and strikes Roserade right on her head, knocking her out, and leaving Dwayne with only one Pokémon remaining.

After a deep breath, Dwayne chooses Latias as his final remaining Pokémon, which shocks the audience and the announcer screams out in surprise. At the stands, Jade leaps out of her seat in surprise at seeing Dwayne in command of a Legendary Pokémon, and back in Pallet Town, Edge and Roberta stare in awe at Latias's presence. Raven also becomes shocked at the sight of the Legendary Pokémon, and Latias giggles at everyone's reaction to her sudden appearance. Dwayne orders Latias to use Dragon Breath, but Duraludon blocks the attack with Stone Edge, before using Hyper Beam, but Latias manages to fly upwards and dodge the attack. With Duraludon unable to move due to Hyper Beam, Latias approaches him at a face-to-face distance, and blasts the Steel-type Pokémon with a point-blank Dragon Breath attack. As a result, Raven is down to her last Pokémon—Cinderace. Realizing that both Pokémon were equally powerful, Dwayne remarks that their battle would be one to remember, and orders Latias to use Psywave, but Cinderace uses its legs to blast the attack away in a flash. This impressive display of strength and speed causes everyone to gasp in amazement, Dwayne included. Cinderace's Flamethrower and Latias's Dragon Breath clash in mid-air, resulting in a huge explosion.

Dwayne then commands Latias to use Dragon Breath again, which Cinderace easily dodges by jumping high into the air. Taking advantage of the fact that Cinderace can't move freely in the air, Latias tries a Psywave, but Cinderace dodges, then counters using Mega Kick. Latias flies upwards, dodging the attack. However, Cinderance lands on his feet, and uses the momentum to bounce back towards the sky, successfully striking the second Mega Kick directly onto Latias's face. However, Latias quickly regains her composure and blasts Cinderace down with a point-blank Dragon Breath. Cinderace is ordered once again to use Mega Kick. As Latias and Cinderace brawl it out, Dwayne commands Latias to use Dragon Breath, and Cinderance gets blasted to the ground. As the smoke clears, Cinderace shocks everyone by remaining on its feet, and Raven explains that Cinderace used Flamethrower at the last second to cushion its fall.

As Latias begins panting in exhaustion, Raven orders Cinderace to use Blaze Kick, and Latias gets struck directly onto her face, but Cinderace also begins showing signs of exhaustion. With both Pokémon tired out, Cinderace uses its signature attack, Pyro Ball, which Latias counters with Dragon Breath, and both attacks explode after a back and forth collision. Latias attacks again with Psywave, but Cinderace dodges and smashes Latias with a Blaze Kick, dealing severe damage to her. Latias uses Recover, but Cinderace stops the process with a quick-fire Flamethrower. Latias and Cinderace clash again with Dragon Breath and Flamethrower, respectively that engulfs both Pokémon. As the smoke clears, both Pokémon struggle to their feet. Raven and Dwayne plead for their Pokemon to get up, and with encouragement both do.

Dwayne orders another Dragon Breath, but as Latias prepares the attack, Latias suddenly feels an excruciating pain on her neck, and collapses. Latias attempts to get back up again, but this time she can't and faints completely, meaning Raven is the winner of the Silver Conference. Dwayne is left distraught from the loss, but quickly cheers up, knowing full well he battled well and rushes over to Latias, and feeds her a Sitrus Berry, and Latias slightly recovers. Dwayne asks if she's okay, and Latias fights back tears, disappointed for being defeated, believing she was at fault for Dwayne's loss, but Dwayne assures her that she did her best, and he was proud of her, and Latias quickly cheers up, and nuzzles against her Trainer in a playful manner. Raven approaches them and offers a handshake, and Dwayne accepts. Raven states that she had never participated in a battle that made her this excited, and hopes to battle him again one day, and Dwayne returns the sentiment. Latias and Cinderace also exchange pleasantries before the announcer urges the crowd to give both Trainers another round of applause.

The next morning, the Silver Conference comes to an end with Raven becoming the winner of the Johto League Silver Conference, and Mr. Goodshow presents Raven with the coveted trophy as the crowd cheers on. Outside the stadium, Dwayne asks Raven where she would head to next, and Raven says she would travel through Mt. Silver first, hoping to capture some powerful Pokémon, and would then return to Galar for the time being before embarking on another journey. Dwayne says that Mt. Silver was prohibited, but Raven explains she just gotten permission from Mr. Goodshow and shows Dwayne her official letter from the president of the Pokémon League, and Dwayne expresses his amazement. Dwayne and Raven shake hands as Raven walks off.

### **Hoenn Again**

Sometime after her return to Galar, Raven decided to travel to the Hoenn region in order to participate in the Hoenn League, and bringing only Cinderace and Duraludon with her. While walking down a narrow back street in Ever Grande City, Raven sees Dwayne being attacked by a flock of Murkrow, and promptly sends out her Corviknight to fend them off with his Steel Wing attack. Raven and Dwayne exchange greetings, with Raven discovering that Dwayne was also participating in the Ever Grande Conference and upon learning that Dwayne was heading to the same restaurant she was, Raven decides to invite him along for lunch.

During the meal, Raven explains that she caught Corviknight shortly after returning to Galar, and it quickly became one of her most trusted Pokémon. The conversation continues, with bonding between them, until Raven notices the time. She has to get going, or she'll be late. As she rushes outside, Dwayne follows behind, asking why she was in such a hurry, and Raven reveals that she is a torch runner so she has to get to the Pokémon Center to collect the sacred flame. Outside the Center, League President Charles Goodshow, together with the local Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy and a small crowd of spectators, are waiting for the flame to arrive. The flame soon arrives by a police motorcade, just as Raven reaches the Center and apologizes for being late, and she promptly sets off running with the flame. Not too long afterwards, Raven has arrived at the stadium complex, not visibly tired at all from the long run.

During the preliminary rounds, Raven and Corviknight battle against a Trainer and his Charmeleon. The referee starts the match and Corviknight instantly dashes towards Charmeleon without even waiting for an attack order. Dwayne, Layla, Josie, and Jannette are shocked by this sudden action, but Raven remains calm and orders a Steel Wing attack. Corviknight extends its wings and launches itself towards Charmeleon, but its vicious Steel Wing is dodged by Charmeleon's incredible leap. Seeing an opening, Charmeleon uses Fire Punch as it lands, and successfully scores a direct hit. Raven orders a Brave Bird and Corviknight dashes towards Charmeleon. Unfazed by Corviknight's counterattack, Charmeleon retaliates with Fire Blast, and Corviknight gets blasted back to the other side of the arena, but manages to land on its feet.

Charmeleon then uses Mega Kick, which smashes Corviknight right into the stadium wall. Not one to give up however, Corviknight thrusts himself forward as Raven orders Iron Head, sending Charmeleon spiraling backwards. Raven instantly orders a follow up Hyper Beam, and Charmeleon is sent smashing into the ground and out for the count. The referee announces that it is unable to battle, declaring that Raven and Corviknight are the winners. However, Corviknight does not want the battle to end there, and it extends its wings once again and flies towards the fallen Charmeleon. Raven attempts to hold her Pokémon back, but it frees itself from its Trainer's grasp and dashes towards Charmeleon as the crowd are left startled by the ferocity. But before it can attack, Raven recalls Corviknight back to its Poké Ball, gazing at it in concern.

After the match, Raven details when she first encountered Corviknight to Dwayne, Jannette, Layla, and Josie. Raven explains that one day, while she was traveling through a snow-covered forest, she happened across a pack of wild Rookidee and Corvisquire, headed by Corviknight, who was battling against a Charizard, but was losing badly as the rest of the pack watched on. Charizard used Fire Punch, knocking Corviknight away, and then Flamethrower to knock the Raven Pokémon down and out. As Charizard walked away in victory, Corviknight's pack simply expressed their disappointment in their leader and abandoned it, leaving the injured Corviknight alone in the snow. Raven then explains how she took Corviknight in and nursed it back to health, and bandaged up its damaged wings. As Raven finishes off her story, Dwayne, Jannette, Layla, and Josie come to understand Corviknight's hatred towards the Charizard evolutionary line.

In the quarter-finals, Raven found herself battling against Josie. As the battle commences, Raven sends out Cinderace to battle first, while Josie sends out her Heracross. Dwayne finds it weird that Raven was choosing Cinderace from the start, as she often saves him for last. Raven tells Cinderace to use Flamethrower whilst Josie has Heracross use Hyper Beam, and the two attacks collide. Josie then commands Heracross to use Horn Attack, but Cinderace intercepts it with Pyro Ball, knocking out Heracross with one shot.

Josie recalls Heracross and sends out Vigoroth, whom she commands to use Flamethrower as Raven commands Cinderace to use Mega Kick. Cinderace's Mega Kick pushes through the Flamethrower, and slams into Vigoroth, sending it crashingo onto the wall, knocking it out in one shot as well, and Josie is quickly realizing that Raven and Cinderace were on a class of their own, and on the stands, Dwayne notes on how much stronger Cinderace has gotten. Josie decides to send out Shelgon next and has it begin with Double-Edge, which lands and causes Cinderace considerable damage. Raven then calls for a Blaze Kick, which Shelgon dodges before launching a Draco Meteor. However, Cinderace expertly dodges all of the oncoming meteors, and knocks Shelgon out with Pyro Ball, getting itself a third single-shot victory.

Josie chooses Shiftry as her fourth Pokémon, and Cinderace uses Flamethrower. Shiftry dodges and uses Quick Attack, but Cinderace dodges it. Josie then orders Shiftry to use Leaf Storm, but Cinderace hits it with a close-range Flamethrower before the attack can fully develop. Shfitry is hurt and stumbles, which allows Cinderace to land a direct Blaze Kick onto Shiftry, which knocks it out and leaves Josie with only two Pokémon remaining. Josie is disbelief, but quickly gets over it and summons her Pelipper, who quickly charges in with Aerial Ace, but Cinderace counters with Mega Kick, and both attacks clash, but Pelipper gets the worst of it and faints, leaving Josie with only one Pokémon remaining.

Despite the overwhelming odds, Josie refuses to give up, loudly exclaiming that if she couldn't win, she would at least take Cinderace down with her and summons her Sableye. Sableye starts off with a Power Gem, and Cinderace tries to dodge, but Sableye manages to land a glancing blow on him. Sableye then follows up with Shadow Claw, but Cinderace overpowers him with a Pyro Ball. Cinderace prepares to use another Pyro Ball, and Josie has Sableye use Water Pulse, but despite the type advantage the move had, it ends up getting overpowered again and Pyro Ball lands a direct hit. Cinderace then leaps high up in the sky and rains down with a ferocious Blaze Kick, and Josie desperately commands Sableye to use Payback. Both attacks clash with one another, causing a giant explosion that covers the entire arena. The battlefield is covered with smoke as everyone is desperate to see what happened. Eventually, the smoke clears and reveals that Sableye has gone down, but not without taking Cinderace down with him. However, because Josie no Pokémon able to continue, Raven is declared the winner by default.

Josie recalls Sableye and seems rather distraught by the one-sided wipeout she'd just suffered, but knows that she worked as hard as she could and feels satisfied with her position. Raven approaches Josie and thanks her for the battle, and Josie says that Raven showed to her that the world was a big place, and there would always be Trainers far stronger than herself, and thanks her for teaching her a lesson in humility. Following this, both Dwayne and Raven win their respective semi-final matches, and once again, meet each other in the finals, with Dwayne knowing that Raven has grown much stronger since the Johto League, especially after watching her battle against Josie, and becomes more determined than ever to win.

During the finals, Raven and Dwayne prepare for their battle to declare the winner of the Hoenn League. The grass battlefield is auto-selected for the heated six-on-six match between the two Trainers. Dwayne chooses Crawdaunt as his first Pokémon, and Raven releases Duraludon. Crawdaunt uses Dark Pulse, and Duraludon counters with Hyper Beam, creating an explosion of light that reaches high into the sky. The explosion knocks out both Crawdaunt and Duraludon instantly. For their next choices, Dwayne chooses Blaziken while Raven chooses Manectric. Blaziken launches Flamethrower as Manectric evades Blaziken's attacks. Manectric responds with a Charge Beam attack, which collides with its target for a direct hit. Blaziken is blasted backwards but recovers from the attack. Blaziken goes for another Flamethrower attack but as Manectric evades this second round of attacks, Blaziken ascends into the air and strikes a direct hit with Blaze Kick. After the dust clears, Manectric is announced as unable to battle. Raven decides to choose Hariyama for her third Pokémon choice. Blaziken begins with another Flamethrower attack as Hariyama blasts forward with an Arm Thrust reflecting the Flamethrower attack. When Hariyama is within range, it strikes down with a Brick Break, knocking Blaziken unconscious.

Dwayne selects Altaria as his third Pokémon. Hariyama goes for another Brick Break attack, slamming into the ground, while Altaria manages to evade the attack by flying. Altaria and Hariyama blast forward with their Sky Attack and Focus Punch, respectively. The combined strength causes an explosion that sends both Altaria and Hariyama backwards, but Altaria is the one left unable to battle. This leaves Dwayne with only three additional Pokémon, ending the first stage of the battle.

The second half of the battle begins, with the battlefield now changing to rock terrain. Dwayne calls upon Flygon for his fourth Pokémon selection and Raven chooses Hariyama again. Flygon thrusts forward with an Iron Tail attack, but Hariyama grasps onto Flygon and prevents it from moving. Hariyama rotates into the air and slams Flygon down in a Seismic Toss. After a few moments, Flygon recovers and continues on the attack. Hariyama charges for a Focus Punch while Flygon counterattacks with Dragon Claw. Just before both Pokémon connect their attacks, Flygon slides to the right, causing Focus Punch to miss, and scoring a direct hit with Dragon Claw, knocking out Hariyama in the process.

Raven chooses Glalie for her fourth Pokémon. Glalie begins with Rollout. Glalie hits a boulder and propels itself skyward, hitting Flygon with the attack. Glalie goes into another Rollout attack hitting Flygon multiple times, each more powerful than the last. As Glalie moves for one last Rollout attack, Flygon manages to halt Glalie by catching it with his arms. Flygon lifts Glalie and propels it towards the ground, and follows up with a Dragon Breath, and Glalie is declared unable to battle. Flygon seals an impressive victory, leaving Raven with only two more available Pokémon.

A solitary Poké Ball rotates from Raven's hand, as Corviknight is called upon by Raven. Corviknight begins the battle with a Steel Wing attack, scoring a direct hit against Flygon, who begins to show exhaustion from the previous battle. Dwayne orders Flygon to use Rock Slide, but Corviknight dodges and uses Brave Bird. Despite Flygon's attempts to counter with Dragon Breath, Corviknight pushes through the attack and lands a direct hit, knocking out Flygon in the process. Dwayne does not hesitate in this competition and chooses Dragonite for his fifth Pokémon. Dragonite is eager to battle and closes in on Corviknight while using Dragon Claw. While Dragonite continues its barrage, Corviknight launches a Hyper Beam attack. Dragonite evades the attack and repeats Dragon Claw. Dragonite then charges up a Dragon Dance, but Corviknight manages to recover and counterattack with a high-speed Iron Head, knocking Dragonite unconscious and unable to battle.

Dwayne selects Gardevoir for his final attack. Gardevoir scores a direct hit with Moonblast, but with little effect. Corviknight retaliates with a Steel Wing, but Gardevoir manages to avoid the attack and grab onto Corviknight's body and deliver a point-blank Shadow Ball, knocking Corviknight out of the competition. This leaves both Raven and Dwayne with only one Pokémon each. Raven calls upon Cinderace as her final Pokémon. Gardevoir begins the final match-up with Shadow Ball, which Cinderace matches with Flamethrower. Gardevoir follows up with Moonblast, which Cinderace also counters with Flamethrower. Following the clash of both attacks, the stadium fills with energy. Dwayne decides to take the battle into close range with a Teleport, teleporting herself behind Cinderace and scoring a direct hit with a point-blank Shadow Ball. Dwayne continues this strategy over and over, until Raven picks up on where Gardevoir would teleport next, and commands Cinderace to grab ahold of her just as she appears, and shoots a point-blank Flamethrower onto Gardevoir's face, causing severe damage.

Remembering the strategy he'd used against Jade, Dwayne orders Gardevoir to grab Cinderace and teleport both of them high towards the sky, and Gardevoir does so, teleporting Cinderace several feet in the air before teleporting herself safely back on the battlefield. As Cinderace freefalls, everyone assumes this was the end of the battle, but Raven remains calm, and orders Cinderace to fire a Flamethrower on the ground, which gradually slows his descend until allowing him to safely land on his feet, and Raven explains she had watched Dwayne's match against Jade and assumed that Dwayne would try the same strategy sooner or later, and she prepared herself for this.

Gritting his teeth, Dwayne orders Gardevoir to use Psychic, creating psychokinetic waves that lift several of the rocks across the battlefield, and Dwayne orders Gardevoir to fling them towards Cinderace, who despite managing to fight back against a few, soon gets overwhelmed. Realizing that Cinderace's legs were his strong point, Dwayne orders Gardevoir to aim the rocks towards Cinderace's legs, and Cinderace's legs take the brunt of the attack, causing Cinderace to drop his knees in pain. Raven knows that Cinderace couldn't keep up for much longer and orders him to use Pyro Ball. However, Dwayne was expecting this and orders Gardevoir to use Psychic on the incoming ball of fire, and redirects it back towards Cinderace, who takes head-on. As Cinderace staggers, Dwayne, filled with goosebumps over his body, yells out for Gardevoir to end the match with a fully-charged Shadow Ball, and Gardevoir's Shadow Ball gets charged up to maximum before being launched, which lands a direct hit onto Cinderace's face, causing a massive explosion.

As the smoke clears, Cinderace remains on his feet, and after staring down at Gardevoir for a few seconds, lets out a smirk before collapsing foward, knocked out, and the referee declares Cinderace unable to battle, and gives the victory to Dwayne and Gardevoir, making Dwayne the winner of the Ever Grande Conference. Dwayne is left speechless by the result, and looks around the field, questioning if he had indeed won the tournament, and Raven confirms it, and urges him to celebrate his victory.

Following the end of the tournament, Raven takes her leave, returning to Galar for the time being before deciding on her next journey.

## **Character**

Raven is a very supportive and social individual, offering to help Dwayne retrieve the Sacred Flame of Ho-Oh from a gang of wild Pokémon in order to enable the Johto League to start, and enjoys mentoring others, finding genuine pleasure in teaching others to become better Pokémon Trainers. She's also quite independent, preferring to travel by herself instead of with companions, but nonetheless has no problem in having other people accompany her should the situation call for it.

Despite her team of strong and eclectic Pokémon, Raven always remains humble and compassionate individual, always encouraging others to perform at their best, and lifting their spirits whenever they feel upset or disappointed with themselves. In addition, she is also quick-witted and confident, seen when she used her Alcremie's Sweet Scent to force Dwayne and Sydney's Pokémon to stop fighting, and subsequently covered up for them to prevent them from being disqualified for their Pokémon's squabble.

Raven also possesses a great deal of pride towards Galar, and always wears the region's standard battling uniform for her matches, and openly professes that she was not only battling for herself, but also to represent Galar, and she expresses pride in her region. She also has a streak of determination, as seen with her battle, and later victory, against Dwayne, as well as her eagerness to capture a wild Sneasel.
