Arven is an upperclassman at the academy. He's good at cooking and is researching healthy recipes that can help Pokémon feel better. He will be asking you to help him out, since he isn't good at Pokémon battles. Arven puts up a bit of a front when the player first meets him. He comes off a bit frustrated and rude at first, but as the game goes on we begin to understand where his frustration comes from. Arven is a young man with a lot of love in his heart, and we discover while helping him that his dog and best friend, Mabosstiff, is dying. As we help him try to save Mabosstiff we learn that he has been estranged from his mom while she works to research the Great Crater of Paldea, and Mabosstiff is basically all he has. 

Voice Type: Somewhat frustrated, but determined to save his friend. Willing to trust Juliana to help him find a cure. Lovingly emotional toward his dog.
