Wesley

## Wesley Shine

 Wesley Shine is one of the two hosts for the mainline Region Trotters series. He was hired alongside Hifumi Sena just before Sinnoh's season started, and has been a part of the main seasons until Alola Adversaries.

## Biography

Originally hired to be a one-off host for the Sinnoh season - to represent his home region - the former contest star proved to have a fun and engaging dynamic with the main host, Hifumi, and he was brought on board for more seasons after that as Hifumi's permanent cohost.

Though a lot less responsible than Hifumi, and eager to blow the show's budget on fancy firework shows, and indulge the contestants in petty drama, he's a kind man at heart. Or, well, he can be. Sometimes. When he's not being catty and frivolous.

After the Sinnoh season, he settled down and got married to his personal manager, Keith Drabbe. However, the two divorced shortly after the Kalos season ended. They have a son together, Dorian Shine, who is 12. Dorian lives with Keith in Sunnyshore.

However, during the Alola season - everything seemed to take a turn for the unhinged. Wesley gets waterboarded by a contestant, there are several epic meltdowns, and after a fight with his own cohost - Hifumi, she disappears completely, and he shuts down mentally and copes very badly, putting on a guise of not caring what happens to her, even though he, in fact, cares a lot.

However, Jitarou and the remaining Alola cast confront him shortly after Jade's elimination, and he reveals to them what he knows. From that, the cast is able to deduce the mole and the fact the disappearances of several people, including Hifumi, are linked to Morelull rings sending them to Ultra Space.

They are able to rescue the people disappeared - including Hifumi - in Ultra Space, and confront Necrozma, whose presence had been agitating the Morelulls. The rest of the season goes off without a hitch, well, without a major hitch, and Wesley and Hifumi both announce that they're quitting Region Trotters at the end of the season, after Jitarou is announced the Champion of Alola.
