Rippler (Junior)

Rippler Junior is a Pokemon character that appears in both Pokemon: Beginnings and Pokemon: Unlimited. He is the son of Rippler Senior, who was killed by Mewtwo for defying his rule along with the Dark and Psychic type Pokemon under his legion in another dimension. While he was an antagonist in the Beginnings series, he becomes a supporting protagonist in Unlimited, much to save his own daughter Serena as he travels with Happy and friends.

Prior to Unlimited, he was married to a female Weavile that had an affair with him behind his back, making him a single father.

Physical Appearance
As a child, Rippler was a black Sneasel with two feathers in his head and tail, with red eyes and white claws. As an adult, he became a Weavile with the same dark complexion and red eyes, although he has two feathers around his ears and three for his tail, somewhat similar to his father's looks except with lesser feathers, the lack of a beard and cape. In Unlimited, he has a torn collar and scars on his face, as he said he received them from a female Admiral during his attack on the Pokemon World Government prior to his capture.

Personality
Rippler's attitude is a seriously snappy type of individual, as he is quick to call out others for their nonsense. While used as humor at times, he can be very direct, often saying what's on his mind. He also has his sense of pride, which is something that was with him ever since he was a child, and dislikes being "second best", as he feels as if he is "weak". An example of this was when Happy saved him from being executed. He lashed out at him while expressing his true feelings about him and his strengths, thinking that he is "mocking" him as a weakling. However, he can push his pride aside when he knows he's met his match.

He is known to be a loner, not really hanging around anyone unless in certain situations. To Charles, he referred to his actions as "shady", being somewhat of a joke towards his Dark typing. Despite this, he is loud and abrasive, even scaring Pokemon like Lola with his voice. His usual antics are calling Pokemon by their species rather than their name, such as his rival Happy being called "Turtle", or calling Lola "Rabbit". Neither one of his friends question it, as they are used to it.
