Rusty (Pokemon Rusty)



Rusty is the protagonist villain of the webseries Pokemon Rusty by Dorkly. He is very naive, but is determined to become the best Pokemon trainer there is. He looks up to his hero, Red

Personality
Rusty has very low intelligence and knows very little, if anything, about Pokemon and the Pokemon world and often kills his pokemon on accident. Although he causes disaster almost everywhere that he goes, he is not outright malicious and often causes things out of chance or accident. He is very inspired by his hero, Red, even to the point of naming his Kakuna "Pikachu" after his hero's favorite pokemon. He often gets discouraged during his journey, but he always bounces back, ready to fight on.

History
The series follows Rusty, as he is the protagonist. He randomly announces one that his destiny is to be a pokemon trainer just before heading out into the world, getting a Kakuna from Professor Tree. He goes through a series of misadventures where he declares a random Bug Catcher as his rival and tries to evolve Pikachu in numerous, almost cruel, ways. He is caught off guard by Team Rocket who tries to steal Pikachu, but he "evolves out of pure happiness" the moment the Team Rocket member touches him. Rusty is punched by Pikachu and left, afterwhich he calls his dad to pick him up.

As they ride home, they crash into a Snorlax and Rusty takes it as a sign that he must continue his journey. He makes his way to the Celadon Mall where he accidently buys Professor Tree's bike filled with drugs. He eventually runs into Team Rocket again and he persues them to Cinnabar Island where he challenges Blaine, thinking its his destiny to defeat him. Rusty is dealt a crushing defeat and is discouraged, so Blaine gives him a seashell, claiming that it is a badge and it lifts Rusty's spirits once more.

Team Rocket Membership
He finally makes it to Team Rocket HQ under the alias of a new recruit named Russel or Reginald (The Team Rocket Member, Ron, cannot read Rusty's handwriting). He tries to rescue Pikachu, but his efforst are stopped quickly. Realizing that Rusty raised the now insane Pikachu, they welcome him to Team Rocket, also finding the drug filled bike.

He goes on a ride along with a Team Rocket Member, but they are caught by surprise by Red, who oblitherates them and their car, apparently killing Pikachu as well.

He ventures on and passes through notable landmarks in his region like the Battlehaus, the Daycare and the Pokemon Tower, where he is haunted by all the pokemon he killed in the past. His deceased grandfather comes to his aid before they can get their revenge.

He meets up with Professor Tree and watches a documentary with him before heading to the Viridian City Gym, which has a blockade of cops surrounding it. Rusty gets in through the back and goes to face Giovanni, but is shocked to discover that Pikachu killed him and took over Team Rocket. The police finally break through before Pikachu kills Rusty and they are both arrested and taken to jail.
