Isamu is a young Trainer from Pallet Town who received a Pokédex from Professor Oak and was sent on a quest to find out more about Pokémon. <br /> <br /> Isamu encounters a violent male Clefairy on his way to Professor Oak's lab, and together they defeat a giant Nidoran by accident. When Clefairy follows Isamu to the laboratory, Isamu chooses to travel with the Clefairy because he finds his antics amusing. <br /> <br /> Unlike his rival, Isamu doesn't catch a lot of Pokémon. He has two (later three) favorites, which he keeps outside their Poké Balls. He has caught several others, including Articuno, but never uses them in battle. <br /> <br /> He continues his journey in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire, the sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters that takes place in Hoenn, and in Pocket Monsters DP, the second sequel of Pokémon Pocket Monsters that takes place in Sinnoh. <br /> <br /> His rival is Kai Midorikawa. <br /> <br /> (Source: Bulbapedia)<br /><br />
