**Luis** is a Pokémon Trainer in Ibaro. He is the player's rival and Professor Narra's research assistant, and serves as one of the player's two main rivals, along with Ally.

## In the games

Luis is a young boy from Calinga Town, which also serves as the player's hometown. He grew up with his mother and younger sister, who sees him as a role model; his father is never seen.

In game, he works as an assistant to Professor Narra, helping her with research along with other young trainers. He is hired shortly before the player, and is assigned with giving them a Starter Pokémon on Route 1. After making the player choose a Pokémon, he chooses the one with the type advantage and battles them, against Professor Narra's instructions. After winning or losing, he leaves to report back to the Professor.

Luis is not encountered again until the player reaches Professor Narra's Lab in Primento Town. Here, Professor Narra will scold Luis for battling with the Pokémon she gave him; she will try to take it from him, but reconsiders after his Pokémon breaks out of its Poké Ball, pleading to not be taken. After Professor Narra gives him permission to battle with the Pokémon, he rushes to Senatopia City to challenge the gym, battling Ally at the Pokémon Academy and losing before leaving the town.

## Personality

Luis is very similar to Barry when it comes to his personality; he is always in a rush, excited to take on his new job under Professor Narra since it allows him to get closer to Pokémon. He can also be conceited at times, expecting himself to always win when he has the type advantage. Despite this, however, he is a capable Pokémon trainer who has formed a bond with his Pokémon unusually quickly, as pointed out by the Professor.
