Professor Birch

Poochyena

Hoenn's field-researching Professor and May and Max's father's colleague; studies Pokémon habitats and distributes Hoenn starter Pokémon.

A sturdy, tanned man with brown hair, dressed for fieldwork in shorts and a lab coat.

Adventurous and hands-on, Birch prefers researching Pokémon in the wild to sitting in a lab, sometimes to his own peril.
