'''Raymond''' (Japanese: '''レイモンド''' ''Raymond'') is [[Pokémon Trainer]] that {{Ash}} battled in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and [[M22|its remake]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Mewtwo Strikes Back====
While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were having lunch at the beginning of the movie, Raymond approached them and asked Ash for a {{pkmn|battle}}. Although Ash had just told his friends that he was too weak to do so, he jumped up, ready to battle. In the Japanese version, Ash said he was just going to have a quick battle before lunch.

Despite Raymond's eagerness, Ash successfully knocked out all five of his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in rapid succession. In fact, {{AP|Pikachu}} took out three of those Pokémon in one {{m|Thunderbolt}} when Raymond tried to unfairly gang them up on him. Raymond was stunned by the defeat, such that in the Japanese version, he exclaimed ''"Oh my God!!!"'' in English. The match also caught the attention of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s {{p|Fearow}}, and this led to Ash being invited to [[New Island]].

Notably, Raymond had a then-unknown [[Generation II]] Pokémon when he appeared: a {{p|Donphan}}.

==Trivia==
* Raymond shares his name with his Japanese voice actor.
** This voice actor and that of {{OBP|Miranda|M01}} also work together in a [[Suzukisan|Pokémon-based band]].
** In the manga adaptation, Raymond instead appears as a direct caricature of his voice actor.
* In [[The Art of Pokémon The First Movie]] and the [[Pokémon the First Movie (graphic novel)|Ani-Manga adaptation of the film]], he is simply named "Pirate Trainer". The closed captions of the remastered version of the movie call him "Raymond".
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} defeated the part {{type|Ground}} {{p|Golem}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which should have had no effect. This error was eliminated in [[M22|the remake]], as Golem was replaced in Raymond's [[party]] by a {{p|Drowzee}}.
