History

Robert debuted inWin, Lose or Drew!, where he was seen participating in theSlateport CityPokémon Contest. In the first round, he delivered a performance that left thepanel of judges very impressed and secured him a place among theCoordinators moving on to theContest Battles. There, he faced off againstDrew in the semifinals and proved to be a very tough opponent, lowering enough of Drew's points to be announced as the winner of their battle when the five-minute time limit expired. He was later shown receiving the SlateportRibbon fromMr. Contesta.

InHi Ho Silver Wind!, Robert took part in theHoenn Grand Festival, where he was briefly seen competing in the preliminaryAppeals Round, during which he successfully showcased hisMilotic to proceed to the next stage. InDeceit and Assist, he used Milotic yet again for the secondary Appeals Round, scoring a perfect 100 and advancing to the Battle Stage.

InRhapsody in Drew, Robert nearly became a victim ofTeam Rocket when they tried to steal his identity and his Pokémon soJessie could compete in theGrand Festival.Ash appeared right at that moment to stop Team Rocket using hisSnorunt. However, the Snow Hat Pokémon couldn't get itsIce Beam to work and so Robert took Snorunt aside and told it how to focus its energy when executing the attack. Afterevolving intoGlalie, it managed to properly use itsIce-typemove to send Team Rocket blasting off, thanks in part to Robert's pep talk.

Robert then proceeded to the finals of the Grand Festival, where he found himself up against Drew once again. Just like in the Slateport Contest, Robert easily defeated Drew, thus earning theRibbon Cup as well as the title ofTop Coordinator. According to Drew, immediately after he won, he begantraining for the next Grand Festival so no one will get better than him.

Character

Robert is a very skilledPokémon Coordinator as he advanced to theBattle Stage with a high score in both theSlateportContest and theHoenn Grand Festival. He also seems to be a calm and collected person. This was shown whenTeam Rocket attacked him and he remained composed even though they were trying to steal his Pokémon.

Robert is dedicated towards his goal and takes Pokémon Contests very seriously, starting to practice for the nextGrand Festival soon after winning theHoennRibbon Cup. He seems to be very knowledgeable aboutPokémon, as shown when he toldAsh's Snorunt the key to control its un-masteredIce Beam attack.
