Liam is a young trainer who dreams of one day becoming a Pokémon master, but ultimately struggles to make the cut. A frequent target for bullies, Liam is a socially awkward, but well-meaning boy who has a strong passion for Pokémon. Early on, Liam becomes friends with Ember and after her encounter with the rift, mysteriously gains the ability to understand her even as a Pokémon! Much like Ember, however, Liam also lost his father when he was young. When his family refused to understand him, he ran away to Castelia and currently lives in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. In his spare time, Liam works as a cashier at the local Poké Mart and trains with a Hitmontop. Using his knowledge of Pokémon across many different regions, Liam teaches Ember how to defend herself in her new form.

NOTE: It is HEAVILY implied that Liam is autistic or on the spectrum. While it is preferred that we would like to cast someone on the spectrum, we welcome others to audition for Liam regardless! We're looking for someone who knows how to play the Peter Parker type role. A nerd/geek who doesn't quite fit in but wants to do good and help others in return. Think of Finn from Adventure Time or Tom Holland's Spider-Man from the MCU.
