Kotone (Japanese: コトネ Kotone) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime who debuted in DP143. Dispite he looks female, he's actually male.
Ash and friends first met Kotone when his Marill wandered off and they found it wedged in a wall. He introduced himself as a Trainer from Johto. He came to Sinnoh with his friend, Kazunari and his father in order to observe the Pokémon native to the region. Later he asks Dawn to participate in the Johto Festa. They had a battle but Kotone lost and rewarded Dawn with an egg.
It is implied in DP144 that Kotone has an interest in Ash, though whether it's platonic or a tad romantic remains uncertain. He admires his bravery and wishes that Kazunari would act more like him. Kotone even asks Dawn if he and Ash are a couple though Dawn quickly denies it. In DP145, he attempted to pair Kazunari and Dawn together as a couple before eventually realizing he had feelings for the former.
In DP147,he and Kazunari had a tag battle against Ash and Dawn in the Suiren Colosseum. Kazunari was surprised when Kotone chose to go with Chikorita against Monferno and Cyndaquil who are both Template:Type2s. But he had confidence in it. It proved to be a strong opponent but it eventually lost to Cyndaquil. Both Kotone and Kazunari lost the battle soon after.
Later they headed back to Johto with Kazunari's father. Kotone plans on challenging Whitney and Morty. Also, upon his request, Kazunari decided to become his traveling buddy. They promised Ash and Dawn that they would see them again.
