Pokemon Classified Content: Rival Roy (Improved Version)

Roy is a 15yr old boy who is the younger brother of Liam, and is always positive and uplifting towards others.
As a kid Roy was modest but always tried to show others his skills in battle when given the chance, but his talent was never truly recognized because his older brother's success, and thus it burdened him with unreasonably high expectations from others. Even though Liam was against said expectations for Roy, they were always there anyway, but Roy made sure it didn't affect what he wanted to do with his life.
When joining you on your journey, he not only wants to further improve his skills in Pokemon battling, he also hopes to one day be accepted as a member of the Elite Four. He will not let anyone or anything get in the way of that dream, no matter what they do or say.

He is also not aware of Liam's real job until later in the game's story, and this would mark one of the only points in history where Roy is truly angry at somebody and acts out of rage and not reason.
