I guess I have a habit of not really being what people want me to be.

Spoiler warning!
This article contains plot details about events that occur later in the game.


Cal is first met on the peak of Pyrous Mountain. He was the former Fire-type Gym Leader before he retired to find himself and become one of Kiki's top apprentices at her academy. The player first meets and battles Cal as a test from Kiki. Cal admits to the player that he has spent most of his life trying to one up his brother Blake and escape from his shadow. He further states how he used to watch over Shelly and have a close bond with her due to family issues, however Cal's anger towards Blake caused their bond to fall apart. Once defeated, he states that he started training Fire types to counter his brother's Ice type.

Later on Cal was found on the peak of Pyrous Mountain with Taka and Solaris. When Victoria asked Cal, he told her that he was too weak and couldn't defeat them. After the player loses to (or defeats) Solaris, Kiki appears and attempts to stop the PULSE-Camerupt from destroying the island. After Cal stops Kiki's attempt at destroying the PULSE-Camerupt, Solaris' Garchomp kills Kiki. Shocked at Solaris' actions, Cal destroys the PULSE-Camerupt with his Magmorter.

After Team Meteor leaves Pyrous Mountain, Cal attempts to make an apology to Victoria, which she rejects. Cal then leaves the area. Later on, the player meets Cal in the South Obsidia Ward. He tells the player that he never wanted any of that to happen and explained the reasons behind him joining Team Meteor. He also states that he secretly sabotaged the PULSE-Camerupt as he was fond of the Academy and didn't want it to be destroyed. He then asks the player if they trust the reasons for his actions. Regardless of the answer, he thanks the player before leaving.

After encountering Blake in Ametrine City with Shelly, Cal reappears in front of the character and makes up with Shelly due to his past actions. He then gives the player advice about a secret entrance in Blake's apartment and goes to chase Team Meteor. After rescuing Heather, Heather teams up with Shelly and the player teams up with Cal to catch up to Blake in the Ametrine Mountain. After Blake escapes, Cal speaks to the player and reveals to them that Terra is also part of Team Meteor. He then offers the player a flight back to the city and parts ways afterwards.

Pyrous Mountain battle speech
Pre-battle speech

[Cal]: ...

[Cal]: ......

[Cal]: .........

[Cal]: ...Hi.

[Cal]: Can I help you?

[Cal]: ...Oh, Kiki sent you here too, huh?

[Cal]: To battle me...

[Cal]: I have't had a serious battle since I resigned as Gym Leader...

[Cal]: And even then, I was misguided. I had let anger drive and control me.

[Cal]: That's why I came here: to learn to let go of the rage I felt towards by brother...

[Cal]: Everything I'd ever done was just to try and prove myself better than him... And then...

[Cal]: You're challenging the Reborn League now, correct?

[Cal]: Had you met a leader named Shelly?

[Cal]: ...So you have. How is she?

[Cal]: Timid... right? That might have been my fault...

[Cal]: I used to keep her around. Watch over her. She and I connected on some level. We were always scorned by our brothers, and our families.

[Cal]: Blake... He always got the attention. He got all the praise for everything, and then anything I ever did was just a sloppy second.

[Cal]: Back then I was too full of rage to see that he was the source of my anger. But Shelly understood.

[Cal]: Only, she didn't understand. And one day she said something, and I reacted horridly. And I...

[Cal]: ...Regret hurting her more than anyrhing else.

[Cal]: And yet, because of it, I was finally able to change...

[Cal]: Look at me, just rambling on... Sorry. I suppose being assigned to meditate alonefor days on end has that effect on people.

[Cal]: I can see clearly now, but the source of my energy is exhausted. Formerly rage, now...

[Cal]: ...Now perhaps I'll stop talking and give you the battle you came here for. And perhaps I'll find my new center in doing so.

Post-battle speech

[Cal]: I seem to have lost my fire after all...

[Cal]: Perhaps it's for the best. I only ever started training Fire types to beat my brother's Ice... How foolish...

[Cal]: In any case... You can go and tell Kiki that you defeated me.

[Cal]: I'll be staying up here. I've got things to finish.

[Cal]: Er, meditation, that is...

Trivia

  • Cal's name could be a reference to 'calor', a Latin word meaning 'heat'.
  • Cal bears some resemblance to Malva of the Kalos region in the official Pokemon games, as both are Fire-type specialists who are part of their region's respective criminal organisations.
  • Prior to Episode 17, all of Cal's Pokémon used during the player's battle with him on Pyrous Mountain, with the exception of his ace, were fully-evolved starter Pokémon.
  • Cal originally had blue hair but dyed it red to stand out from his brother, Blake. Later on in the story his hair color is returned to its natural blue color.
  • Cal mentions that he became a user of Fire-type Pokemon to gain an advantage over his brother, an Ice-type user.
  • Cal and Blake's relationship can be related to Cain and Abel, where Cal is the Abel to Blake's Cain.
  • Cal has an illegal Magmortar that knows Blast Burn, which it cannot learn through legitimate means.
