Stu

Another recurring character/rival OC. Stu is your basic muscle-headed, power-focused rival. He develops an unhealthy obsession with Jodi and wants her to become his girlfriend while seeing Geo and Danny as obstacles to her (she even calls them her "knights" so that only increases the problem). As a result he has a rivalry with Geo, and to a degree Danny, in hopes of outshining them so Jodi will ditch them for him. He's not a bad guy, as he hates the likes of villains such as Team Galactic, but he's too stubborn and bullheaded to give up on his pursuit of something he wants. That said, he's battle style is pretty predictable, so Geo and Danny are able to outmaneuver him. His Starter is a male Empoleon named Bubbler.
