Damekage, the Genetics Researcher
A Pokemon researcher from Kalos interested in how and why Pokemon evolve he found himself in Alola. There he found himself fascinated with how climates had changed the way some Pokemon had evolved. In doing that research he came across a Pokemon that seemed to sparkle in the light. This led to his research on why some Pokemon will rarely have a unique coloring to them and shine in the light. Partnering up Pokemon has allowed him to explore the potential of more Pokemon. He is after the answer to the shiny Pokemon. Returning to PAX again after furthering that research; bring your best partners to challenge him and earn the Genetics Emblem.
