Read more ↓Arven is a significant character introduced in the ninth generation of the Pokémon franchise, specifically in the games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. He is a student at Naranja Academy (or Uva Academy, depending on the game version) and plays a crucial role in one of the main storylines, "Path of Legends." Arven is known for his deep affection for his Mabosstiff, which suffers from a mysterious illness, driving him to seek out the Herba Mystica, rare ingredients found by defeating powerful Titan Pokémon. His journey is one of personal growth, initially appearing somewhat aloof but gradually opening up to the player as they assist him. He is not a Pokémon species himself, but rather a human character, a trainer and researcher with a strong emotional core. His narrative arc explores themes of companionship, perseverance, and the bond between a trainer and their Pokémon, resonating deeply with players. Arven's connection to the legendary Pokémon Koraidon or Miraidon also adds to his importance within the Paldea region's lore. His natural habitat is within the Paldea region, often found near research stations or exploring various terrains in search of the Herba Mystica. His diet consists of regular human food, often prepared with a culinary flair, as he enjoys cooking. His behavior is characterized by a determined, sometimes gruff, but ultimately caring demeanor, especially towards his ailing Pokémon.
