Shū (Japanese: シュウ Shū), is a Pokémon Trainer that specializes in capturing wild Pokémon. He is the main character of the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga.
Character
Shū uses a device called the In-Com, a headset created by his father that lets him talk to his Pokémon. He also uses a Pokédex. He has terrible aim and frequently misses his targets when throwing Poké Balls. Shū is enthusiastic and often comes up with bizarre but effective schemes for capturing wild Pokémon, such as dressing up in giant Pokémon suits. He is very loyal to his Pokémon, though his Pikachu is willful and will refuse orders. His rival is Tomio.
History
Shū met his Pikachu in Enter Shū & Pikachu! when he found Pikachu's Poké Ball abandoned in a forest. Apparently, the Poké Ball had become defective and was releasing Pikachu's electricity everywhere. Shū was able to fight against the current and release Pikachu, after which they became partners. Even though they are close friends, they argue constantly.
Pokémon
Unlike in most other Pokémon canon, Shū does not seem to have a limit on the number of Pokémon he may carry with him.
