[[Conway]], a recurring character, seems to be based on the Super Nerd class. He first appeared in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It!]]''. Later, he appeared in the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] arc from ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' through ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''. He became {{Ash}}'s official [[rival]] during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in the episodes ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend]]'' through ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' where he lost to Ash. Unlike the Super Nerds in the games, he is not known to own any {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, or {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, however, he did train a {{p|Venonat}} during the Pokémon Summer Academy.

'''Miles''' (Japanese: '''アキヒト''' ''Akihito''), known as '''William''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, a minor recurring character in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, belongs to the Super Nerd class. He first appears in ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'' where he is disguised as {{adv|Red}}, punches [[Erika]] and reveals himself before taking away [[Pika]]. He uses a coat of rubbery stocking to shield himself from the Pikachu's attacks, as well as {{p|Marowak}}, {{p|Paras}}, and {{p|Persian}} to escape from and confound the citizens of [[Celadon City]]. He is later defeated in ''[[PS048|Paras Sight]]'' by [[Misty]], [[Brock]], [[Erika]], and [[Blaine]], and {{adv|Yellow}} gets Pika back from him. In ''[[PS049|As Gastly as Before]]'', he is taken away by a {{p|Gastly}} and it is revealed (after {{adv|Blue}} saves him) that he was hired by [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]]. Weeks later, in ''[[PS076|Take a Chance on Chansey]]'', Miles wakes up at [[Cinnabar Gym]], where {{tc|Camper}} Evan is taking care of him while Blaine is absent. He then tells Evan that he was the first to find Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]], and it was here that he found bits of Red's clothing that contained his scent to fool Pika.

====History====
====={{chap|Yellow}}=====
Miles first appears in ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'' where he, disguised as {{adv|Red}}, punches [[Erika]] and reveals himself before taking away [[Pika]]. He uses a coat of rubbery stocking to shield himself from the Pikachu's attacks, as well as {{p|Marowak}}, {{p|Paras}}, and {{p|Persian}} to escape from and confound the citizens of [[Celadon City]]. He is later defeated in ''[[PS048|Paras Sight]]'' by {{adv|Yellow}}'s Pokémon coupled with the timely arrival of [[Misty]], [[Brock]], [[Erika]], and [[Blaine]], and Yellow gets Pika back from him. In ''[[PS049|As Gastly as Before]]'', he is taken away by a {{p|Gastly}} and it is revealed (after {{adv|Blue}} saves him) that he was hired by [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]]. Weeks later, in ''[[PS076|Take a Chance on Chansey]]'', Miles wakes up at [[Cinnabar Gym]], where {{tc|Camper}} Evan is taking care of him while Blaine is absent. He then tells Evan that he was the first to find Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]], and it was here that he found bits of Red's clothing that contained his scent to fool Pika.


====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
In ''[[PS153|Oh, It's Ho-Oh!]]'', Miles and his Persian and Evan and his Haunter are seen having a quick battle with Evan emerging as the victor. They are revealed to be taking part in the next Pokémon League and because they do not have Gym Badges, they have to take part in the preliminary tournament.

A Super Nerd (Japanese: 理科系のおとこ Science Man) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are generally depicted as skinny young men with long hair and glasses, and are grown-up male Schoolkids.[1] In HeartGold and SoulSilver, they are accompanied by a remote-controlled robotic Pikachu holding a Poké Ball.

They generally use a combination of Poison- and Electric-type Pokémon, except those in the Cinnabar Gym, who specialize in Fire-types instead.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Super Nerds battled outside of Gyms will award three Poké Balls along with prize money upon being defeated.

In Pokémon Stadium, they are referred to as Nerds and specialize in Pokémon knowing Selfdestruct or Explosion.

Conway

Conway, a recurring character, seems to be based on the Super Nerd class. He first appeared in Tag! We're It!. Later, he appeared in the Pokémon Summer Academy arc from Camping It Up! through One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!. He became Ash's official rival during the Lily of the Valley Conference in the episodes An Old Family Blend through Working on a Right Move!, where he lost to Ash. Unlike the Super Nerds featured in the games, he is not known to own any Poison-, Electric-, or Fire-type Pokémon. However, he did train a Venonat during the Pokémon Summer Academy.

A Super Nerd in Pokémon Origins

In Pokémon Origins

Super Nerd Miguel appeared briefly in File 2: Cubone. He was shown hogging the Dome and Helix Fossils when Red was at Mt. Moon. Red battled him off-screen, after which he presumably gave Red one of his Fossils.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Miles in the Yellow arc

Miles (Japanese: アキヒト Akihito), known as William in Chuang Yi's translations, a minor recurring character in the Pokémon Adventures manga, belongs to the Super Nerd class.

History

Yellow arc

Miles first appears in Whacked by Marowak! where he, disguised as Red, punches Erika and reveals himself before taking away Pika. He uses a coat of rubbery stocking to shield himself from the Pikachu's attacks, as well as Marowak, Paras, and Persian to escape from and confound the citizens of Celadon City. He is later defeated in Paras Sight by Yellow's Pokémon coupled with the timely arrival of Misty, Brock, Erika, and Blaine, and Yellow gets Pika back from him. In As Gastly as Before, he is taken away by a Gastly and it is revealed (after Blue saves him) that he was hired by Agatha of the Elite Four. Weeks later, in Take a Chance on Chansey, Miles wakes up at Cinnabar Gym, where Camper Evan is taking care of him while Blaine is absent. He then tells Evan that he was the first to find Red frozen on Mt. Moon, and it was here that he found bits of Red's clothing that contained his scent to fool Pika.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In Oh, It's Ho-Oh!, Miles and his Persian and Evan and his Haunter are seen having a quick battle with Evan emerging as the victor. They are revealed to be taking part in the next Pokémon League and because they do not have Gym Badges, they have to take part in the preliminary tournament. However, because of the attack caused by the Masked Man, the Pokémon League tournament was canceled and they never got a chance to compete.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Miles and Evan also made a cameo appearance in Double Down Deoxys, visiting Blaine for a while.
