At first Dusty seems like like just another of those long-haired, yee-hawin', pickup driving good ol' boys from the backwoods. You might even wonder how someone like him even wound up at an exclusive school that's usually the domain of the top shelf of society. Dusty will simply credit it to hard work and just wanting to do something with his life. Oh, and his mother's a design engineer for the largest car manufacturer in Sinnoh. That helped a little too.

If anyone is content to just write him off as a stump-jumping redneck without getting to know him, then he's content to just let them keep thinking that. Southern drawl and colorful language aside, Dusty is a lot like any average Pachirisu his age; cheerful, clever, and borderline hyperactive. He'll be more than happy to talk your ear off about just about anything, if you can keep up with him. Certainly not an easy task when he really gets on a topic he's interested in.

Although he decided against joining a team for his first two years to concentrate on his studies (he plans on following his mother's career track to automotive design), Dusty has since reconsidered after the school exams put a much greater emphasis on teamwork both in and out of battling. He's thinking about hooking up with Team Showtime as an alternate after learning they were interested in finding an Electric-type to try and balance things out a little.

(Major props to  carlito whose two Pachis helped me design this guy. Especially the tail spikes, which I personally like a lot better than the 'normal' design. Yeah, I know his right hip is screwed up... big perspective error there.)
