He demonstrates enthusiastic support at the Regional Championships, energetically cheering while wearing a Pikachu hat; this visible fervor is noted by Celestine, who uses it to unsettle Ava during their match. He maintains his supportive presence at the World Championships. His own gameplay centers on a Pikachu-focused deck, utilizing cards like Snorlax, Lickitung, and Basic Lightning Energy, though his competitive skills appear limited, evidenced by a swift defeat against Celestine. In Japanese, he is identified as "Ava no Chichi".
