While Brock was at Professor Ivy's lab, Ash and Misty land on Tangelo Island and meet this young man, Tracey. He is a Pokemon Watcher and is also a very big fan of Professor Oak. Knowing that Ash and Misty are close to Professor Oak, Tracey decides to tag along with Ash as the crew travels the Orange Islands. Only after the Orange Islands adventure, Tracey decided to stay in Pallet Town and be Professor Oak's assistant.

He is shrouded in mystery for most of the Battle Frontier saga. Unlike the other Frontier Brains, his silhouette is not shown on its own during the opening and is only seen in the center of the group shot. Trainers will only find out the location of the Battle Pyramid after they have collected the other six Symbols. This may mean that Brandon ranks higher than the rest of the Frontier Brains, although in the video games and manga, this position belongs to Anabel. When Ash finally gets his sixth Frontier Symbol in Second Time&#039;s the Charm!, he learns that it is located near Pewter City.    His first battle with Brandon occurred in Battling the Enemy Within!. At the time, however, Ash was possessed by an ancient king of the Pyramid who battled Brandon&#039;s Regirock with Ash&#039;s Sceptile. Sceptile was defeated, although Ash eventually regained control of his body, and the Pyramid was moved to an area near the Indigo Plateau.    For their second battle in Overjoyed!, Ash&#039;s Torkoal squared off against Brandon&#039;s Registeel. However, Torkoal was, like Sceptile, defeated by Brandon&#039;s Legendary Pok&eacute;mon.    In Gathering the Gang of Four, Ash and co. met up with Brandon in a forest. In Pace - The Final Frontier!, Brandon and Ash fought in a 4 vs. 4 battle. Brandon&#039;s Dusclops defeated Ash&#039;s Charizard in the first round, but was then defeated by Ash&#039;s Bulbasaur. Then, Brandon&#039;s Ninjask squared off against Ash&#039;s Squirtle, where Squirtle was able to beat Ninjask with a Hydro Pump. In the next round, Squirtle was defeated by Brandon&#039;s Solrock, which in turn drew with Bulbasaur. With both competitors left to their last Pok&eacute;mon, Ash used Pikachu while Brandon unveiled yet another Pok&eacute;mon from his legendary collection: this time, a Regice. Despite the odds, however, Pikachu managed to hold its own against the legendary golem and came out victorious, becoming only the second Pok&eacute;mon in the anime to have defeated a Legendary Pok&eacute;mon, after Charizard.    Brandon appeared again in A Pyramiding Rage!, where he wanted to research the Snowpoint Temple. While meeting up with Ash and friends, he is challenged to a full battle by Paul. Paul loses the match easily due to him losing control of his emotions. Brandon later mentions that they would battle again when Paul is ready.    In Pillars of Friendship, Brandon tries, and fails, to stop Pok&eacute;mon Hunter J from disturbing Regigigas in the Snowpoint Temple, which then goes on a rampage. It eventually calms down when Brandon saves it from being turned into a statue by J. Brandon then decides to stay at the Snowpoint Temple, not only to rebuild it, but also allow Regirock, Regice, and Registeel to become the new pillars that protect Regigigas.

__Anime:__
Sakaki is the Rocket Team Boss and a former Tokiwa City Gym Leader. He is a very ambitious man and is intolerant of failure. Sakaki is shown to have access to vast wealth and resources. The money probably comes from Rocket Team's main source of income — the profit of selling stolen Pokémon. Sakaki also gains a lot of money from smuggling Pokémon, Pokéball trafficking, and other crime rackets. He has Rocket Tean operations in both Kanto and Johto. He rarely meets people in person, as he prefers to communicate with his underlings via telecommunications.
__Manga:__
Sakaki serves much of the same role as he does in the games, although he now has Matis, Natsume, and Kyou as subordinates. However, Sakaki is much more ruthless than his other counterparts. ~!Like in the games, he is the father of Silver.!~

Raoul Contesta (Japanese: コンテスタ Contesta) is a character in the Pok&eacute;mon anime. He is a Pok&eacute;mon Contest judge.    Contesta is the main contest judge, and also the Pok&eacute;mon Contest director. He is usually the first one to comment on the Pok&eacute;mon, and the one who offers advice to the Coordinators. When May kept forcing her Bulbasaur to continue battling in Cruisin&#039; for a Losin&#039;, Contesta yelled at her for not knowing when to stop the battle, and criticized her for not caring about her Pok&eacute;mon.    In The Ribbon Cup Caper, Contesta helped look for the Ribbon Cup, which had been stolen by Brodie.     Bulbapedia

Mr. Sukizo (Japanese: スキゾーさん Mr. Sukizō) is the president of the Pok&eacute;mon Fan Club and one of the judges for Pok&eacute;mon Contests along with Mr. Contesta and Nurse Joy.    His appearance resembles that of a male Pok&eacute;Fan, which may have served as inspiration for his design.    Sukizo is a man of few words as the only thing he ever seems to say is &quot;I like it&quot; (好きですね). In the English adaptation of the series, his phrase is &quot;remarkable&quot;.     Bulbapedia
