(Japanese: マサオミ Masaomi) is a recurring character of the Pokémon anime who first appeared in BW070 and a rival of Stephan.
History
He was the champion of the previous year's Donamite tournament and returned to defend his title with his Throh. He has shown a particular interest in Stephan and his Sawk. However when Stephan began bragging that Sawk was the greatest, he took slight offense to it. He stated that Stephan could not say he was the greatest until he won a battle against his Throh. Even then, he had concluded that Stephan would not make it past the second round just by looking at Sawk.
Still, Masaomi continued to observe Stephan and Sawk in BW071 during the intermission while they were attempting to help Ash's Scraggy direct his Focus Blast. Afterwards, Masaomi fought his first opponent, Domon, and defeated him easily, and advanced to the second round.
The night before the second round was to begin in BW072, Masaomi was seen training Throh by having him throw large boulders around. The next day he went up against Iris and her Excadrill and won, advancing himself to the semi-finals. Before the episode's conclusion it was revealed that his opponent for that round would be Ash and he battle him in BW073. Though he did stand in longer than Masaomi's other opponents, he still lost and Masaomi advanced to the final round where he would face his last opponent, Stephan.
Stephan would prove to be his toughest opponent yet to the point where Masaomi struggled to maintain control of the battle. However, Masaomi eventually lost and was forced to give up his championship title. Though he did lose, he was thoroughly impressed by Stephan's skills as a Trainer and congratulated him when he won, even giving him a handshake.
Pokémon
This listing is of Masaomi's known Pokémon in the anime:
| Masaomi's Throh | ||
| Throh is the only known Pokémon Masaomi has on hand and had started a rivalry with Stephan's Sawk. In BW071, he went against Domon's Mienshao and was able to dodge every single one of its attacks. He knocked it out of the tournament after a Seismic Toss followed by a Circle Throw.
In BW072, Throh was put up against Iris's Excadrill. He easily blocked his Drill Run attack by grabbing his claws then used Circle Throw which got him out of his drill form. Throh then used Superpower to get Excadrill out of the ground when he used Dig. He then used Seismic Toss on Excadrill and knocked him and Iris out of the tournament. When Iris ran out on the battlefield to check on her Pokémon, Throh bowed his head in an apologetic way in a reaction to seeing how worried she was. In BW073, Throh's opponent in the semi-final round was Ash's Scraggy whose attacks he easily dodged. Scraggy's Leer was essentially useless against Throh as was his Headbutt. Throh knocked his opponent out of the tournament with Seismic Toss and advanced Masaomi to the final round where he would get to face-off with Stephan's Sawk. Sawk proved to be more difficult to subdue than his other opponents. The Karate Pokémon was able to slip out of his grasp continuously, including a Bind attack by using Bulk Up. Even though hit by one last Close Combat attack, Throh managed to get back up thought it was clear he had reached his limit. Suddenly, his rival turned away from him leaving him surprised. Shortly after that, however, Throh fainted not even knowing he was going to give out while Sawk did. Throh's known moves are Superpower, Seismic Toss, Circle Throw and Bind. | ||
