Jeremy is a minor recurring character who made his debut in Weekend Warrior.
Jeremy is a businessman who used to be a traveling rocker in his youth. Prior to that, he was a Pokémon Trainer, but he had to quit when he formed his band because he became too busy.
He harbored a lifelong dream of competing in a Pokémon Contest. He revived his rocker persona and entered the Silver Town Contest. During the Appeals Round, he used his Butterfree, which performed a combination of Stun Spore, Poison Powder, and Safeguard. His wife Mandy and son Nicholas interrupted his appeal to persuade him to abandon his dream and return home. Jeremy responded with a speech about how he and his Pokémon had spent countless hours training to realize their dream and what it means to be a Pokémon Coordinator. Following this speech, the judges, audience members, and May cheered for him to continue competing. After witnessing how much this dream meant to him, his family allowed him to complete his run in the Silver Contest.
Jeremy and his Venusaur, who was usually sleeping according to Nicholas, ended up battling May and her Combusken in the final round. Venusaur launched powerful Frenzy Plant attacks, but ultimately, May won the Ribbon.
Jeremy briefly reappeared in Thinning the Hoard!, where he was seen watching the Kanto Grand Festival at home with his wife and son.
