Mateo (Japanese: イサオ Isao) is a one-time character in the Pokémon anime who appeared in The Crystal Onix. His English voice actor is Michael Haigney and his Japanese voice actor is 私市淳 Atsushi Kisaichi.

Mateo and his younger sister Marissa live on Sunburst Island in the Orange Archipelago. Mateo owns a glass shop, but his products are lower quality than the other glassmakers on the island. One shop owner yelled at Marissa claiming her brother was ruining the glass business on the island.

Mateo's ultimate goal was to capture the legendary Crystal Onix. With the help of Tracey's Venonat and Marill, he found the Pokémon in a cave. Using his Pokémon, he weakened it, but out of nowhere, he decided not to capture it. He told Ash and his friends that just seeing the Crystal Onix had inspired him.

When he returned to his glass shop, he was able to make much better quality glass pieces and soon his business greatly improved.
