Van Darkholme

A performance artist who likes to profile mankind's deepest, darkest fantasies. One half of the legendary Tag Team duo "The Gym".

Leader of the Deep, Dark Gym
Van was one of the disciples of the legendary Mark Wolff. However, he twisted his teaching into an evil path seeking only to gain power and challenged his master. Still unexperienced on true power, he lost and left his mentor in search of the deep and dark fantasies.

Despite all, they retained a certain level of brothership over being gachi stars.

However, Aniki can't bring himself to let him die either, since he's all that's left to him since Ricardo's gone, even if Van had betrayed him... but Van just sees his words a pitiful, something Ricardo would be ashamed of. When Aniki gets angry, the guard Joshua Graham shows up... but it turns out to be a disguise of a familiar face. Gold had survived alone all those years and even the rumbling, and had become a "beastmaster". More than that, the hardest thing yet was returning and learning what had become of Van.

But, Van only stopped being a Master of the Locker Room because he had to destroy it himself, annihilate all who fail. That's why they tried to take over TFR, why he came to destroy this factory... and even why he destroyed The Gym.

However, Van's has acquired too much power even for the fully accomplished Pokemon Master. Before he takes him out, Aniki notices the camera footage of Wesker Bravo and Boomer taking away with all the Dimes.
