Favorite Pokemon Character

Who is your favorite character in the Pokemon games, whether it be Evil Team leaders, gym leaders, rivals, etc.

As for myself... honestly not sure. There are a lot of different Pokemon characters I like, but I would say Hau is at least pretty high on the list. Say what you want about him as a rival, but he'd be a pretty fun guy to hang out with in real life. Though I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that he knows what my footsteps sound like...
