Character from pokemon-sinnoh by
Oreburgh City's first-badge Gym Leader — a Rock-type specialist and working mining engineer whose Rampardos is already a minor regional legend.
Roark spends his mornings in the Oreburgh Mine and his afternoons at the Gym. He gives Ash his first Sinnoh badge (after the second attempt — Cranidos dismantled Ash on the first), hands out Coal Badges with genuine pride, and trains his Rock team around fossil revival research. He is the gentler of the Oreburgh Gym leaders — his father Byron, far to the north, is the sterner half.
Late teens, bright red hair, round glasses, green-and-white mining outfit with a hard hat. Pickaxe slung over his shoulder even in battle. Byron's son — same jawline, lighter touch.
Also known as: Roark, Hyōta
