One of the admins of the Explorers. Currently, he has assumed the position of President of Exceed Co. Furthermore, he successfully usurped Gibeon's power and now appears in the media. He has become widely known as the "handsome president of Exceed Co." He took over the mission to retrieve Liko's pendant after Amethio failed. Initially just one of the organization's admins, his presence gradually grew, making him the main villain working behind the scenes throughout the story. In a sense, he could be considered the final boss figure for Chapters 1 through 6 of this series. He speaks in polite language even to his colleagues, appearing courteous at first glance, but in reality, he has a condescending and insolent personality, scoffing at his colleagues' failures. He didn't believe in the existence of the Black Rayquaza until he saw it with his own eyes. He has almost no sense of camaraderie toward the other admins, stating clearly that he is "merely using them for his own purposes." He never fails to set things up behind the scenes so he can snatch the spoils for himself. He shows firm loyalty to Gibeon, the leader of the organization. On the other hand, he works on independent research with Agate to avoid being noticed by Hamber, who is close to Gibeon, and he is viewed with great caution by Hamber and his colleagues. Due to these relationships, his position in the story (including past flashbacks) has changed several times: Exceed Co. Scientist → Explorers Admin → President of Exceed Co. and Representative of the Explorers. It can be said that his actions in the story become more extreme as his social status improves. Due to his personality and behavior, his popularity within the organization is poor, and the members do not seem to think well of him. Furthermore, he dislikes vague, invisible concepts like trust and bonds, dismissing those who talk about the importance of bonds as "ridiculous" and showing strong discomfort. On the other hand, there are many scenes where he shows strong trust in and dotes on his partner Umbreon. When this is pointed out, he falters, showing a contradictory side that understands the concept of bonds but refuses to acknowledge them. He dotes on those he trusts, showing affection by petting their heads. (However, due to his nature, it always comes across as somewhat condescending.) His past is unknown, but as a boy, he appeared neither extremely wealthy nor poor. In appearance, he is a tall, slender young man with bluish-green hair. He ties back his slightly wavy, shoulder-length hair. His bangs are swept up on the right side. He wears a black shirt with a tie the same color as his hair, a cape-mantle flowing to one side, and a dark blue suit with yellow oval patterns in places, matching his partner Pokémon. He is referred to as "handsome" in the story, making him one of the rare officially good-looking characters in Pokémon. He is the type to emphasize data, gathering information before committing to a plan. In early battles, he acted as a commander and did not appear on the front lines, using microphone sensors on his Pokémon to control them remotely. He is efficient, using Teleport to forcibly return them to his command room after a battle ends. He also possesses flexible thinking, such as combining the moves of multiple Pokémon to cover for weaknesses. Even if his plan is thwarted, rather than becoming flustered or enraged, he gets excited and laughs, saying, "This is interesting!"—a rare trait for this type of intellectual villain. However, it's a different story if the defeat comes from low-strategy elements like "intuition," luck-based tactics, or unexpected accidents. He showed irritation when his Magneton was defeated by a Lucky Punch, and he lost his composure and spoke harshly when Beheeyem's ability was predicted by pure intuition and defeated. While he is highly skilled, his greatest threats are his aforementioned information-gathering and strategic planning abilities. He constantly monitors the movements of both allies and enemies using surveillance cameras attached to Pokémon, often manipulating events to his advantage. Even outside of battle, he always thinks two or three steps ahead, allowing him to quickly correct his course even if minor irregularities occur. He remains fully vigilant, considering the immediate elimination of the Rising Volt Tacklers even after they resumed activities a year later. Despite the Rising Volt Tacklers steadily gaining strength, the fact that the Explorers still maintain a dominant position is largely due to his intellect and strategies. He has demonstrated leadership that wins the overall conflict regardless of individual match outcomes, such as creating unfair battlefields where his subordinates have an overwhelming advantage. Overall, he is depicted as one of the most difficult enemies in the story, with almost no openings to exploit. <<Owned Pokémon>> - Umbreon (Partner Pokémon) - Magneton → Magnezone - Beheeyem Currently, many of his Pokémon are themed after space or celestial bodies. He does not own a Ride Pokémon and frequently uses vehicles such as cars, ships, and helicopters. Also, perhaps because he denies the power of bonds with Pokémon, he does not have any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution in his party, unlike other members who are said to require the power of bonds. <<Speech Style>> First person: I (Watashi - formal) / Second person: you (Anata - polite) / [Name]-san / Guest He drops honorifics for those he trusts. Furthermore, his tone is always polite, using "desu/masu" forms regardless of who he is speaking to. (Translator note: Spinel uses polite, formal Japanese to everyone.)
