Kinso

He is an artisan who lives in Rifure Village and makes Gym Badges. Kinso appeared in The Blue Badge of Courage. When Misty, Tracey, and Sakura came to his cabin to get new Cascade Badges, they found him with an injured ankle. After administering first aid, they had to get some exercise, make the badges and participate in a Pokémon battle to earn the Gym Badges. After Misty's Psyduck screwed everything up due to its inability to swim, Kinso refused to give them the gym badges. After noticing two boys with a Zigzagoon and Poochyena stole the badges he worked on, including the badges Misty, Tracey, and Sakura made, they helped Kinso get the badges back.

In the end, after witnessing Misty's Psyduck defeat the thieves' Pokémon, Kinso decided to give Misty the badges.
