Shane

Shane is a Pokemon Trainer from Nuvema Town and is the main rival of Vincent.

History
Shane makes an appearance in Vincent's Adventure Begins! as a beginner trainer like Vincent to choose his Starter Pokemon. After meeting Professor Juniper, he chose Tepig as his partner. He then challenged Vincent Dunstan to a Pokemon battle. He had interest in his new rival's battle strengths and strategy, but knew he was going to win. In a result, Shane defeats Vincent.

In Basic Strategies!, he challenged Vincent to a 3-on-3 battle near Nacrene City. He was revealed to have defeated the Striaton Gym Leader Chili and earned two badges along with owning five Pokemon. In the battle, he used his Tranquill and Palpitoad and his newly-evolved Pignite(whom evolved before Vincent's Gym battle three chapters ago). His Pignite defeats Snivy again, his Tranquill is defeated by Frillish, and his Palpitoad ties with Tranquill, making it a tie.

In Joltik in the Pinwheel Forest!, he found Vincent after he had caught his Joltik and tells him that he also has a Bug-type to his demise. Vincent then challenges him to a battle where he uses his newly-caught Shelmet. In the battle, his Shelmet managed to counter and defend against Joltik's electric attacks, but fell simultaneously with it. He then learns that Vincent has a different battle style and leaves.

He later appeared in Trouble in Castelia City! where he was revealed to have defeated Burgh and earned himself the Insect Badge. Later, he used his Tynamo and Tranquill are battling Ghetsis's Bouffolant. They were knocked out and later used his same Pokemon to defeat the wild Sawk with Vincent's Timburr and newly-evolved Servine who used a powerful Leaf Tornado.
