Clyde West

Clyde West is a member of Team Rocket, as well as a character in The Weather Chronicles. He is Marcy's friend and is known as one of the best shiny hunters.

Appearance
Clyde is an eighteen-year-old boy that stand at about five feet, seven inches. He has sandy gold hair cut short enough to hide in his Rocket cap, and green eyes. Sometimes he has burns, bruises, or scratches, since he goes to great lengths to capture shiny Pokemon.

Casual
When off duty, Clyde wears green jeans, black dress shoes, a white T-shirt, and a blue dress shirt that's usually unbuttoned and open. In the winter he wears a red hoodie.

Rocket Uniform
When he's on duty, he wears a standard Team Rocket uniform: Black suit, white boots and gloves, black cap, and a red R on his shirt.

Personality
Clyde is generally friendly to everyone, especially if they'll help him find his latest assignment. The only thing that angers him is when people outright say they don't like Pokemon just because of their coloration. Sometimes he gets lost in thought while thinking up a strategy to capture the shiny Pokemon.

History
Born in Goldenrod City, Clyde was first exposed to Team Rocket when they took over the radio tower. He was about five years old, trying to win a radio card for his sister's PokeGear, when they stormed the building and kicked everybody out. Sad because he didn't get a chance to win the card, he tried battling a grunt with his shiny Glameow, Courtney. Courtney lost the battle, so he tried sending out his shiny Mime Jr., Chalice. The grunt noticed he had two shiny Pokemon and was amazed with his luck. He tried to capture the two, but Clyde's older sister intervened and took out the grunt.

Several years later, when Clyde was about fifteen, he joined Team Rocket. The leader, Valley, noted his ability to find and capture shiny Pokemon, so designated him a shiny hunter. He roams across regions looking for shiny Pokemon of certain species. The only shiny legendary he has captured is a young Lugia.
