Phillip Ivy


From Rebirpedia, the Pokémon Rebirth encyclopaedia.

 

Phillip Ivy is a scientific researcher specialising in the field of Pokémon variation, particularly that of biological differences between members of the same species. He also takes great interest in Pokémon behaviours - studying the migration patterns of air and water-borne creatures that settle on or pass by Valencia Island.

A relatively unknown scientist, Phillip was first recognized by the Pokémon Institute after making contact with one of its most highly-esteemed members, Professor Samuel Oak. His laboratory is a converted villa donated by an anonymous wealthy couple who were interested in the continued preservation of the Pokémon upon Valencia.

Phillip sports a very cool and level-headed demeanour which helps him adapt to and deal with even the most unexpected situations. However, while his knowledge of Pokémon interactions is quite expansive, knowledge of their dietary requirements is limited.

Additionally, Phillip is rather uncoordinated when it comes to housekeeping. He can be reckless and lack forethought.

History


 

Spoiler Warning - Major plot details may follow

 

 

Following exposure to a backlash of energy from GS-255 shortly after it was discovered upon the island, Phillip's body was gender-swapped. He was still relatively unknown by much of the Pokémon Institute at the time, and as a result ended up forging a good deal of his scientific reputation while a woman.

At the same time, "Philena" forwarded the GS Ball to Prof. Oak in the hopes that he'd find a way to reverse what had happened.


Prior to the One Day World War, Phillip obtained the data necessary for his and his assistant's reversion. He consequently used the events of the ODWW as a cover-up for the disappearance of "Philena".
