Overview
Brendan was born in Johto. At age 10 he moved to Littleroot Town in the region of Hoenn. His father is Norman, The Petalburg Gym Leader. Brendan's mom's name is unknown but she is just called Mom in the games. Brendan's rival and friend, May, is the daughter of Professor Birch. Although if you are a girl and choose May as your character all the above information will apply to May, and her rival will be Brendan. Lucas, the male player character in later games, is friends with Brendan, since they battle each other a lot in Wi-Fi Battle Rooms. There is a short cameo appearance of them battling in the beginning scenes of Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Brendan is a very quirky person, judging from the way he grins hugely in his R&S(Ruby and Sapphire) artwork. He made a cameo in Destiny Deoxys, Jirachi wishmaker, and PokemonRanger and the Temple of the Sea all at the beginning of the movie.
