Dean (A Just Edge)

Dean is the younger brother of Alex. He is an aspiring Pokemon Trainer. He takes the boat back to the mainland from Cinnabar Island along with Ryan, Kelly, Rahul in chapter 10 of A Just Edge. After Pinkbeard the Pirate attempts to hijack the boat, Dean saves the day by deploying his Mega Magikarp and singlehandedly defeating the Pirate and his Pirate Pokemon Crew. Once they reach the mainland, Dean accompanies Ryan and the gang to Pallet Town, since it is almost dark when they arrive and they needed to find a good place to stay for the night.

Dean is more of an introvert than an extrovert, though he will engage with others when he wishes. He did not speak to Ryan and the others on the boat ride until after the Pinkbeard incident, showing that his natural state is to be more shy. When he is around people he knows better (or feels comfortable), Dean will be more conversational and open. He does like to joke a lot with friends. Dean is rather charismatic, though he is stubborn as well. In his own words, "it's my way or the highway". Dean does not like being criticized and will either get mad or make up excuses when anyone tries to correct his errors (usually Pokemon battle errors). Dean may lie or come up with excuses if he is caught doing something bad, but usually he is quite friendly and abides by the rules. Despite his charisma, he does not try to be the leader of Ryan's group, instead taking more of a passive role as a follower.
