Ookido, Shigeru
オーキド・シゲル
Prior to his introduction, Shigeru usually comes off as an arrogant show-off. However, his personality begins to change as he matures. Later in the series, he grows into a nicer and more humble person in both the anime and the video games. Throughout most of the series, he and Satoshi maintain an ongoing rivalry during the Kanto and Johto League sagas, though this diminishes at a later point. After his crushing defeat at the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League, his attitude toward Ash—who finished in the top sixteen, far ahead of his rival—changes significantly following this turning point. His dealings with Pokémon seem to mature as he starts traveling alone, wanting to better reestablish himself as a trainer.
His rivalry with Satoshi comes to a head at the Johto League Silver Conference semi-finals, with both trainers giving it their all and Satoshi narrowly emerging as the victor. After his loss, he decides to no longer compete for the same goal as Satoshi, but instead dedicates his career to Pokémon research. Although no longer Satoshi’s rival, he tends to motivate Satoshi on ways to better himself as a trainer, at times scolding him when he becomes overconfident about his wins, particularly in the Orange League and Battle Frontier. In a sense, Shigeru is what urges Satoshi to start yet another new journey by traveling to different regions across the world, such as Johto and Sinnoh. Despite his many absences in the series, Shigeru continues to remain a vital character and one of Satoshi’s most valued friends. He is bound to make more appearances during the Diamond and Pearl Saga, since he seems to have decided to be both a Pokémon trainer and a Pokémon researcher there. He guest-appears in episode forty-five of the Diamond and Pearl series, helping to preserve a group of highly endangered Shieldon with Professor Rowan and his team.
