>>35343752>BackstoryAdopted brother of MC. Was previously homeless due to parents being accidently being killed by the box legend
>PersonalityA bit introverted with low self-esteem, but typically has the MC's back, until a good portion of the story. The constant losses start the take a toe and the character's personally takes a turn for the worse. He starts becoming more and more drastic measures to win such as purposely sabotaging MC's Pokemon before a battle, (such as they'll be affected by a status aliment before the match starts) until he starts to outright resent the MC due to MC having plot armor and shit (you know, typical "chosen one" and every one loves him/her) This all ends up with rival joining the villainous team due to absolutely loathing the MC at this point and also to get revenge on the box legend. After one final battle, and into the postgame, rival starts feeling immense guilt over his actions and becomes the atoner.
