Johto (HBH)

**Johto** (Japanese: **ジョウト** *Johto*) is a member of a long family of siblings, with Johto being the third oldest. Centuries later, Johto would have an entire region named after him, with his fellow siblings also having regions named after them. Johto was also responsible for the creation of the very first Poké Ball in existence.

## **History**

### **Time War**

Johto and his sister, Sinnoh, came across Edge when the latter was transported to their time period by Celebi. After exchanging introductions, Edge explained himself, but also accidentally revealed that Johto would eventually have a region named after him, but Johto was unfazed by this, simply choosing to ignore this, more concerned about Edge's arrival, as it could greatly affect time and space.

When Celebi re-appeared, it sent Johto, Sinnoh, and Edge towards an alternate future timeline, where they encountered an alternate older version of Edge, whom was responsible for Celebi gathering them together. Future Edge explained that the Giovanni from his timeline was gather allies across different timelines to aid him in ultimate goal of absolute power, and decided to take a page out of his book and had Celebi bring him some allies to stop Giovanni. Johto then suggested his two other siblings, Kanto and Hoenn, to aid them, and the two siblings were gathered by Celebi, and they all set out to battle Giovanni and his minions.

As Johto and the others arrive, they find themselves in a staredown with Giovanni's forces, with Giovanni commending Future Edge on following his footsteps of gathering allies from alternate worlds, but Future Edge rebuffs his comments, and vows to bring him down once and for all. Giovanni scoffs his confidence and says that with the power of alternate worlds, no one could stop him. Giovanni introduces his allies one-by-one: Shawn, Brianne, Leonel, Valkyrie, and Lightning. Everyone prepares for battle as Shawn summons his Shiny Golurk, Brianne summons her Luxray, Leonel summons his Abomasnow, Valkyrie summons her Shiny Entei and Lightning summons his Eelektross. To combat, Future Edge summons Latias, Edge summons Venusaur, Johto summons Ho-Oh, Kanto summons Zoroark, and Hoenn summons Regigigas.

As the battle rages on, Giovanni unleashes his Time Bomb, which erases all timelines, and Trainers, from existence, Johto included. However, through the efforts of Sinnoh (who was the sole survivor of the blast) and Celebi, Johto and their allies were restored back to life, and ultimately managed to defeat Giovanni. With the crisis over, Johto and his siblings were returned to their time period.

## **Character**

Johto is a strong-willed, level-headed, and brave individual. Upon meeting Edge, Johto was suspicious of the Trainer's sudden, and mysterious, arrival, but nonetheless remained calm and collected while questioning him. Also, after Edge's accidental reveal of Johto's legacy, Johto only momentarily reacted to the reveal, only to simply ignore it and become concerned about Edge being sent to their time period, worried that it could affect the flow of time.

Johto also holds great affection for his younger sister Sinnoh, and seems very protective of her. According to Johto himself, their father always looked down upon her due to Sinnoh being "ordinary" compared to her brothers and sisters, but Johto always stood by her, and after the siblings set out on their respective journeys, Johto took Sinnoh with him, as Johto enjoyed having her around him, and in return, Sinnoh admired and adored her older brother.

Johto also possesses an indomitable spirit and drive to never quit, even when odds are stacked against him. Johto also shows deep, and genuine concern with the feelings of Pokémon, as despite ofter battling his older brother Kanto for sport, Johto would only accept those challenger if the Pokémon he battled alongside with had no opposition or reluctance, saying that their opinions were the most important as they were the ones in engaging in actual battle.
