Character from pokemon-kalos by
The big dancing Trainer with a Squirtle who choreographs every battle like a ballet — Ash's rival on style, not force.
Tierno believes in dance as battle strategy — every move his Pokémon make is a choreographed step. He practices with his Squirtle for hours, refining synchronized routines that double as dodging drills. His Blastoise is one of the fastest heavies in Kalos. He's kind, supportive, and completely indifferent to winning if his team had fun dancing. Ash finds this baffling and then charming.
Heavyset, tan skin, short dark hair, wide smile. White short-sleeved T-shirt, grey shorts, backpack. Squirtle constantly at his feet. Taps a rhythm even when standing still.
Also known as: Tierno, Tieruno
