Joe Merrick

Mr. Merriku
A man endlessly tortured by Masuda Junichi after committing a sin against Pokémon. Bugs always follow him wherever he goes.

Season 0
Merrick is one of the Pokémon available in Coolsville. He was probably trapped inside the Pokeball by Masuda himself.

Episode 10

He is one of Red's Pokémon, her starter given to her by Koshimizu Hayao after she chose him for being exactly as pathetic as Tre. As his first challenge, he was put into NXT's King of /v/ Championship as /vp/.

Episode 13

Escapes his pokeball only to find an ally of Masuda-sama, and tries to show himself stronger. Sadly, Mario spends the entire match dominating him and leaves him weak enough for the buggerus to start crawling their way back to him.

Episode 14

Released (or discarded) by Red.

The Extinct Light
Finally... his enemy who cheated him, Pegasus, is nowhere to be seen, and so he joins the fray back at Amakusa Elite Wrestling to become the top pokemon informant in the ring as well.
