Brendan Birch (Sparks)

Brendan Birch Artemis  is a Pokémon Trainer who is the rival of   Clarissa Spark.

History
Brendan Birch first appeared when Clarissa was asked to retrieve Mudkip and Torchic from him at the request of the Professor. Brendan, a rookie trainer, noticed Clarissa only had his father's Treecko on her (since her other Pokemon were injured) and challenged her to a battle. Brendan ended up winning the battle and decided to keep Torchic and called Treecko pathetic.

Personality
Brendan can come off as cocky and mean spirited but he can be quite nice when he wants to. This is shown when he comforted Clarissa after her Combusken fell ill.
