Cato

Another OC from the same series as Geo and the others. This time it's Cato, a minor rival to Geo and was Jodi's tag partner in the Hearthome Tag Battle Tournament. He's a somewhat creepy yet decent guy who is very analytical and strategic, but he does care about Pokemon and is appalled by Orion's methods and treatment of his Pokemon. He also offers some good advice from time to time, such as recommending that Geo teach his then-Grotle (now Torterra) Energy Ball for a better ranged attack. Which spawned not only a new improvised battle technique (Energy Ball Charge) but multiple variants of the same idea that Geo expanded to other moves like Draco Meteor. He's also got a crush on Jodi, being one of her many admirers, but unlike Stu and Liam he's more tolerable and respectful toward her. His main Mon is a Torterra.
