Agatha concentrated on battling with her Gost-type Pokemon to become a member of the Elite Four in tje Kanto region. It's not easy to beat this experienced Trainer.

Richie

When Ash entered the Pokemon Indigo League Tournament he met Richie. This yoing Trainer was like Ash in a lot of ways. He went on to beat Ash in the tournament, although some would blame that loss on Ash's Charizard. Richie has kept up his training, and turned up in time to protect Moltres from Butch and Cassidy.
