Natsuya

ナツヤ

Natsuya is a Pokémon Ranger. He serves as the male player character in Pokémon Ranger: Locus of Light.
Natsuya debuted in the game's anime special, SS022 (Pokemon Ranger: Hikari No Kiseki), where he tried to prevent the Pokémon Nappers from taking control of other Pokémon. However, he was subsequently attacked, causing him to crash onto an island where the Ukulele Pichu was located.
He made his main series debut in DP169, where he was tasked with bringing a rare Heatran that knows Eruption to a wild park for its safety.
He is also depicted as having a very optimistic attitude, owing to his grandfather's advice from when he was younger. Eventually, with the help of Ash and company, he succeeded in capturing Heatran using his Capture Styler and assisted it in escaping to safety.
