Character from pokemon-johto by
Azalea Town's reclusive Poké Ball craftsman, the only person in the world who can hand-make Apricorn Balls — and the one Professor Elm sends the GS Ball to for analysis.
Kurt speaks rarely and only in sentences he has thought about twice. He hates Team Rocket with a personal intensity that goes back to the Slowpoke Well incident, and he will close the workshop and go into the forest with a Scizor if he thinks the well is under threat. He hand-makes seven kinds of Apricorn Balls — Fast, Heavy, Level, Love, Lure, Friend, Moon — using a lathe his grandfather built and a process he has refused to teach anyone but his granddaughter Maizie. He agrees to analyze the GS Ball as a favor to Oak and Elm. He makes no promises. He does not open it. He never opens it. The plot point ends there, on purpose.
Broad-shouldered old man in his sixties with a shaved head, white-grey beard, and sharp dark eyes. Wears a workshop apron over a rust-colored shirt and brown slacks, elbow-length gloves permanently streaked with Apricorn sap. His home is a small wooden house at the edge of Azalea with a lathe in the back room and seven jars of Apricorns on the windowsill.
