Information
Raihan started taking selfies so as to never forget the pain of his defeats, but more recently he has been taking photos showing off his training routine, his fashion choices, and the like, causing some fans to leave harsh comments whenever he loses to Leon. It's true that Raihan is on a ten-nil losing streak against Leon, but no other Pokémon Trainer has managed to KO as many of Leon's Pokémon as Raihan has. Raihan no doubt looks forward to taking a selfie after finally defeating Leon.
Raihan is a mellow guy to an extent. He has a passion for battling and strategy, and seems to really come alive when he's in a Pokemon fight. His strategic way of battling tells of his wits, as well as personally mentoring his gym trainers. Hammerlocke has a wealth of history, and he's no stranger to it. He knows all about what's happened within its walls, implying that he's not only passionate about the city, but history in general. He's the keeper of the Vault, which carries relics of the past, and he takes that seriously. He's also been known to study and look up information on every trainer who participates in the gym circuit, to the point of knowing what they nickname their Pokemon, to learn their strategy and what they're like. He has a thirst for knowledge, to the point of sneaking into places as a child to learn the ins and outs of places, and he isn't afraid to go against the grain, earning him the title of troublemaker. Despite this, he looks out for everyone almost like an older brother or guardian would, and he's very likely to tell a truth that people don't want to hear about themselves, all with a bored look on his face.
Raihan's the type of guy who dances to the beat of his own drum, and if others happen to like what he's playing, then all the better, but it's all for him. It just so happens that a lot of people happen to like that beat. He's also smart enough to know when someone's being a dick, but lets it roll off of him. He loves himself too much to let the criticism really get to him; he looks good and he knows it, though he comes off as narcissistic as a result. He's optimistic, as he never takes losing too seriously, and always looks forward to the next battle. All in all, Raihan is a kind and very loyal person whose lazy looks hide a fiery passion for battling, strategy, and outwitting his opponent.
