A Pokémon Trainer from Goldenrod City, Rex is an upbeat young man, eager to help out anyone he can. However, he has a tendency to get himself and people around him into trouble quite frequently, resulting in a number of misadventures both with and without the J-Team. Rex began his regional journeys in his home region of Johto, moving onto Kanto, and the Sevii Islands afterwards. Following a trip to the Orange Islands, he met and became an unofficial member of the J-Team.

Rex is written by [Hobgoblin] and made his first appearance on [page 3583].

Background

Rex was born to Faith and Andrew Hunter in Goldenrod City, Johto, October 9, 1996. His early childhood years were fairly normal, though his overactive imagination and penchant for fantasy caused him to grow up relatively friendless. As a result, he spent much of his time indoors, filling his time by either playing video games or mock-wrestling with his mother's Hitmontop.

Due to his father being at work for most of the day, Rex's interests stemmed from his mother's. Due to her influence, he developed both his love of reading and his desire to become a Pokémon Trainer. However, his father felt that he should not own a Pokémon, much to the boy's displeasure.

Eventually, Rex found himself heading to the Game Corner one day, managing to do moderately well enough. Cashing in his earnings, he was able to purchase an Eevee which he named Rascal. Forming an immediate bond, the little boy excited to finally have a friend of his own. Rather than playing with others, they would explore various parts of town and have their own “adventures”. However, his father grew upset by Faith's gradual encouragement of what he perceived as "a future of frivolity" and separated from his family, heading to Kanto.

As Rex became older, he became aware of the Pokémon battles that other people were partaking in. Deciding to use them as a way to finally get others to notice them, Rex challenged the first person he came across, a girl who had recently moved into the city. Unfortunately, she easily defeated him on three separate occasions. Devastated, Rex decided to give up on battling, returning to his childhood games. But, despite his love for Rascal, he still felt empty inside, the games no longer as amusing as they used to be.

Six months later, Rex became aware that the girl who defeated him was actually the new gym leader of the Goldenrod Gym, Whitney. Feeling a sudden twinge of resolve, Rex was determined to surpass her and all of the other trainers in Goldenrod. At the beginning of the next Johto League Season, Rex set out with Rascal, beginning what would later become an unusual adventure. Along the way, he encountered the J-Team and even met a few other trainers who would go on to become long-term friends of his, such as Kim and Jun.

At present, Rex has decided to forgo battling Gym Leaders after working up the nerve to triumph over Sinnoh's Gyms, instead focusing on studying Pokémon for the Pokédex project. In the process, he has become a wielder of a Mega Bracelet and begun training with both Korrina and Eros, having begun something of a platonic if affectionate relationship with the latter.

Trivia

  • Rex's canon backstory is that his father left his mother when he was young after their move, leaving her to deal with a great amount of debt. As a result, Rex was sent to live with his aunt and uncle in Unova, acquiring Rascal from Amanita and Fennel. Following that, he set out on a journey to train for his goal of battling against the various Fighting-type experts in the world.
