Drew (Japanese: シュウ Shū) is a recurring character of the Pokémon anime. He is a Pokémon Coordinator from LaRousse City and May's main rival.
History
Drew made his debut appearance in Now That's Flower Power!, where he was seen watching May training for the Slateport City Pokémon Contest. He said she needed a lot of practice and insulted her Pokémon, which made her angry. Later, when May and her friends were looking for Bluk Berries, he appeared and challenged her to a Contest-style battle. He did a good job showing off the attacks of his Roselia, but the battle was interrupted when Team Rocket stole the Bluk Berries. He then helped May to retrieve the Berries and left.
He appeared in Win, Lose or Drew! to compete in the Slateport Contest. He received a good score in the Appeals Round and was qualified for the second round, where he and his Roselia defeated May and her Beautifly, but lost to Robert and his Milotic.
He appeared again in Pros and Con Artists, where he had a battle with Ash. Using his Roselia, he was able to defeat Ash's Taillow, despite being at a disadvantage. It was revealed in this episode that he had already won three Ribbons. In Come What May!, he competed in the Fallarbor Contest; however, he lost to Grace and her Medicham. Following the Contest, Drew congratulated the winner, May, by giving her a rose. This gesture was repeated in many other episodes.
His next appearance was in Disaster of Disguise, where he had a battle with "The Phantom" and lost. He was planning to compete in the Verdanturf Contest, but after his Roselia got injured in a battle with a Dusclops, he thought it would not be good enough to battle and decided not to participate. He was seen in the audience of the Contest in Disguise Da Limit.
In A Fan with a Plan, Drew was revealed to own a Masquerain. He was seen practicing with it, and, in the following episode, he used it to defeat Savannah's Lairon in the finals of the Rubello Town Pokémon Contest. This victory gave Drew his fourth Ribbon.
Drew appeared again in Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?, where it was revealed that he had obtained his fifth Ribbon. When May showed him her four Ribbons, he told her that there was only one more Contest to be held before the Grand Festival, and criticized her for relying on luck and for not having strategies. May then challenged him to a battle, which was interrupted by Team Rocket's attempt to steal Pikachu. Accidentally, Drew was pulled into Team Rocket's submarine along with the rest of the group. When the submarine exploded, the entire group was blasted into the air. They fell in the Mirage Island, where they met a group of Wynaut.
Drew entered the Hoenn Grand Festival in Hi Ho Silver Wind!, where he appealed with his Roselia and received an excellent score that allowed him to pass to the second stage. In the following episode, he used his Masquerain for the second Appeals Round, and the impressive performance of the Eyeball Pokémon put him in the Battle Round. In Rhapsody in Drew, he faced May in the quarter-finals of the competition. Using his Roselia and Flygon, he was able to defeat May, who was using her Combusken and Skitty. He made it all the way to the finals, but lost to Robert, who also beat him in the Slateport City Contest.
Afterwards, he decided to go to Kanto to compete in Pokémon Contests there. In On Cloud Arcanine, he was seen trying to catch an Arcanine. He gave up capturing the Pokémon when he discovered that it had a litter of Growlithe puppies to take care of. It was also revealed in this episode that he had obtained his first Kanto Ribbon.
In Spontaneous Combusken!, when May said she was ready to defeat him in the Chrysanthemum Island Contest, Drew revealed that he wasn't going to compete because he had participated in several Contests lately and his Pokémon were exhausted and in need of some rest.
He appeared again in New Plot, Odd Lot! and Going for Choke!, where he watched May competing for her fifth and final Ribbon in the Mulberry City Pokémon Contest. He also helped Ash to frustrate Harley's plans of sabotaging May.
Drew reappeared to compete in the Kanto Grand Festival in May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, where he was reunited with his old friend and rival Solidad, who had defeated him a long time ago. He managed to pass the appeals stage and quickly reached the quarter-finals, where he found himself against May once again. He fought a hard battle, but his Flygon and Absol ended up being defeated by May's Combusken and Squirtle.
In The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!, after finding May feeling down, he decided to have a battle with her to cheer her up. At the end of the episode, he revealed that he would be traveling to the Johto region to participate in Contests there. He made a cameo appearance in Strategy with a Smile! watching May performing in the Wallace Cup along with Harley and Solidad.
Character
Like Ash's main rival, Gary, Drew is portrayed as being confident, critical, and popular among his supporters, though he is generally not as overly insulting as Gary initially was.
When Drew had participated in his very first Contest, he had lost badly to a strong Coordinator named Solidad. Solidad said the loss was so heartbreaking that he cried. Though he had suffered a defeat in his first Contest, he endeavored to become a better Coordinator and has succeeded to a good extent. He used to be very prone to nervousness when he started his career as a Coordinator.
He used to taunt May when he first met her because she used to be like him when he first started out. Even though his comments and attitude may have angered May, he still provides a helping hand whenever she needs it.

Absol made its debut in the Kanto Grand Festival where Drew used it in his Appeal Round. Even though Absol made it through to the next round with its move combinations, Drew felt was not as dedicated to him unlike his other Pokémon, since it was afraid to attack Drew with Razor Wind. After a talk with Ash later that night, Drew decided to use Absol in the Contest alongside his Flygon in the Double Battle round. Later, they were to fight May and her Combusken and Squirtle. During the battle, Absol was able to use combination of Drew's Flygon's and its moves, dubbed Dragon Razor Wind by Lilian. After a harsh battle, Absol and Combusken were left to fight alone. However, Combusken, after making full use of its newly-learned Overheat, had more points than Absol when the time ran out and May moved on to the finals.
