'''Christopher''' (Japanese: '''ツリオ''' ''Tsurio'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''.

He was the first of {{Ash}}'s two opponents in the quarterfinal rounds of the [[Whirl Cup]]. He appeared to be an experienced {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]], as he had attached his [[Lure Ball]] to a fishing rod and released his {{p|Kingdra}} by casting the line.

Despite his efforts, Christopher failed to emerge victorious against Ash and his {{AP|Totodile}}. Using {{m|Bite}}, Totodile blocked Kingdra from using a {{m|Hydro Pump}} attack. This caused the water to build up inside its body and it got sent flying once Totodile let it go. Ash proceeded to move on to his {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Misty}}, while Christopher was eliminated from the competition.

|desc=Christopher's {{p|Kingdra}} first appeared in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Totodile}} in the first round of the [[Whirl Cup]]. Christopher used a fishing rod with Kingdra's [[Lure Ball]] on the end to haul Kingdra into the battlefield. Totodile tried to dive underwater when Kingdra suddenly used {{m|Twister}}, which hurt Totodile badly. Kingdra used {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which Totodile simply walked across. Just as he was about to use {{m|Bite}} on Kingdra, it suddenly dove underwater. Christopher ordered Kingdra to use {{m|Smokescreen}}, which filled the water and left Kingdra out of sight.

The battle came to a standstill because it was expected that Ash would have Totodile risk it and jump back into the water. Fed up, Christopher told Kingdra to jump up and try another Hydro Pump. Ash, however, told Totodile to use Bite on Kingdra, aiming for the snout. Totodile was successful and plugged up Kingdra's snout, causing all the water in it to hold back. After a while, Totodile released his jaw from Kingdra's snout and Kingdra went flying across the stadium and was not able to battle any longer when it landed.

Kingdra's known moves are {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{m|Smokescreen}}.}}
