Mr. Briney
Mr. Briney (Japanese: ハギ老人 Old Man Hagi) is a sailor that appears in many forms of the media. He has a Wingull named Peeko.
In the games
Mr. Briney is first seen near the Rusturf Tunnel, asking the player to recover his Wingull, Peeko, from a Team Aqua or Team Magma Grunt. Once Peeko is rescued and returned to Mr. Briney, he will offer to give the protagonist rides in his boat to Dewford Town and Slateport City until he/she gains the badge from his/her father. He later becomes the captain of the S.S. Tidal. His house is located on Route 104.
In the anime
Mr. Briney appeared in two episodes of the Pokémon anime. In On a Wingull and a Prayer!, his Wingull Peeko was captured by a member of Team Aqua, the same one responsible for stealing from the Devon Corporation the episode before. Ash and his friends helped to save Peeko and return it to Mr. Briney. As a way of thanking them, Mr. Briney gave them a ride to Dewford Town on his boat.
In Sharpedo Attack!, Mr. Briney was with the group when Brock helped an injured Sharpedo. At the end of the episode, Mr. Briney dropped the group off at Dewford Town.
