Kenny (Japanese: ケンゴ Kengo) is a Coordinator and is a childhood friend of Dawn and Leona. He and Dawn have since become rivals.
History
Kenny first appeared in Getting the Pre-Contest Titters and Settling a Not-So-Old Score in which he and Dawn entered the Floaroma Pokémon Contest. Both of them made it to the finals, but he lost to Dawn after a closely fought battle.
He made a brief appearance on television in Throwing the Track Switch with his Prinplup in which he appears winning a Pokémon Contest, which gave him his second ribbon.
He appeared again in Journey to the Unown! and Team Shocker!, where he enters the Solaceon Town Contest with a new Pokémon, a Breloom.
In Pruning a Passel of Pals! and Strategy With a Smile! he made short cameos watching the Wallace Cup on TV. Kenny then made a cameo in A Breed Stampede! alongside with Nando in Marian's news report about Coordinators.
He also appeared in Stopped in the Name of Love!, along with Barry, where they revealed that they are best friends, despite having recently met. In Old Rivals, New Tricks!, he reappeared, entering in the Sandalstraw Town Contest and won against Dawn's Ambipom with his Prinplup, earning him his fourth ribbon.
Kenny calls Dawn by her nickname, Dee Dee (Japanese: ピカリ Pikari). It was revealed in Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn! that he came up with the name to make fun of Dawn when they were younger.
In DP174, Kenny participated in the Sinnoh Grand Festival, where it was revealed that his Prinplup had evolved into an Empoleon. During the appeal round, he used Empoleon alongside his Floatzel, and while the appeal started well Empoleon's Flash Cannon was too powerful and Floatzel was sent flying. As a result, Kenny didn't make it past the appeal round, leading to an early exit from the competition. Upset about his loss, Kenny decided not to remain for the rest of the Grand Festival and after bidding farewell to Dawn and her friends, Kenny left Lake Valor to being his training anew. He made a brief cameo in DP177 watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals.
In DP180 Kenny was seen doing some training with Jasmine the Olivine City Gym Leader. He also had a battle against Ash's Buizel in which he used his Empoleon. Kenny was able to win the battle.
