Ian

**Ian**is one of the three main characters in **Battle Champions Pokémon Pearl!**He is **Rickson'**s best friend and rival.

## **History**

In **Legend of The Lake!,**Ian mocks Rickson for coming to Lake Verity after him. He reveals that he found a suitcase with two poke balls and he wants to use them to capture Mespirit, much to Rickson's disapproval. They then find Mespirit, much to their surprise. He sends out **Tatter,**his Krickitot, and orders him to use Bide. However, a Psybeam attack from Mespirit instantly knocked Tatter out. Suddenly, **a Chimchar**was sent out of it's Poké ball and defended Ian. Chimchar tried to attack it with Ember, but Mespirit disappeared before he could unleash his attack. The Professor's assistant, **Mia,**arrived and scolded him and Rickson for using **Professor Rowan**’s Pokemon. Ian then calls Mia "Ridiculous!" before she grabbed the starters and left.

Ian returns in **A Rising Starly!**, where he chose Chimchar as his starter Pokémon. After seeing Mia give her newly caught Starly to Rickson, he immediately started complaining. After a heated argument with Mia, he challenged Rickson to a battle.

Ian returned in **A Blaze of Rivalry! Turtwig vs Chimchar!**, where he battled Rickson and lost.

In **Sandgem Showdown! Galactic Attack!**, he had Tatter fight alongside Loop and Happiny in a battle against Team Galactic. Despite dealing damage to one of their Sudowoodo, Tatter was defeated after he got hit with a Rock Throw attack.

In **Dude in a Geodude!**, Ian was revealed to have obtained a Coal Badge

In **Lookout Looker!**, Ian battled Rickson again. He managed to defeat Rock, but he lost to Loop.
