Characters

 * Hareta (Japanese: ハレタ) is the main character and the adopted grandson of Professor Rowan. He lived most of his life in the forest with wild Pokémon, and practically thinks of himself as one. His clothes indicate that he is based on Lucas, however his hairstyle is vastly different and his vest lacks the white stripe that appears on that of Lucas.
 * Piplup (Japanese: Pochama) is Hareta's starter Pokémon. Piplup is stubborn and hard to get along with at first but after a while Hareta and Piplup's friendship becomes stronger helping them win battles.
 * Mitsumi (Japanese: ミツミ) is a main character and the assistant of Professor Rowan. Her clothing implies that she is based on Dawn, however, her hairstyle is clearly distinctive. An orphan, she was raised by Cyrus to be Team Galactic's Ultimate Fighting Machine. She became extremely skilled, and easily destroyed anything or anyone Cyrus told her to. However, when she was ordered to destroy Professor Rowan's lab, Professor Rowan convinced her that Pokémon are more than just tools, and she defected from Team Galactic, becoming Professor Rowan's assistant. Later, she came along with Hareta to find Dialga. After she went to Lake Acuity, Cyrus managed to capture Mitsumi's favorite Eevee. With Cyrus threatening to kill Mitsumi's Eevee if she disobeyed him, Mitsumi rejoined Team Galactic and fought Hareta. After losing, she quit Team Galactic again, causing Jupiter to explode the room she was in, killing her. Except later it turns out that Jun had saved Mitsumi and her Eevee at the last second by protecting them from the explosion with Light Screen.
 * Jun (Japanese: ジュン) is based on Pearl, and is Hareta's rival. Jun has a crush on Mitsumi. He is a very strong Trainer, with some strong Pokémon at his disposal.
 * Professor Rowan(Japanese: ナナカマド博士 Dr. Nanakamado) adopted Hareta as a grandson. However, on seeing Hareta's ability to understand the souls of Pokémon, he felt it was best to leave him out in the forest with his Pokémon friends to care for him. Deciding it would help the boy to travel and see the world, the Professor decided he should be a Pokémon Trainer and travel with his assistant, Mitsumi, and one of his Pokémon, Piplup.
 * Byron (Japanese: トウガン Tougan) finds Hareta washed up on the shore after having been defeated by Cyrus. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago.
 * Cyrus (Japanese: アカギ Akagi) is Team Galactic's leader.
