Keith

Keith (Japanese: ケイタ Keita) is a character of the day in So Near, Yet so Farfetch'd.

Keith, along with his Farfetch'd, steals Pokémon from other people and uses them for his own. He has his Farfetch'd distract his victims so he can swipe Trainers' backpacks and replace them with backpacks filled with rocks. Misty, Jessie, and James were three of his victims. When Ash, Pikachu, Brock, and Misty reported to Officer Jenny of what happened, Jenny stated that Misty was Keith's fifth victim. Jenny had been after him for a while, but he never seems to stay in one place. Psyduck, after escaping from Keith without him knowing, finds Ash and his friends and leads them to Keith. After catching Keith, he explains the reason why he's been stealing—he thinks his Farfetch'd is too weak to battle, but Farfetch'd proves to him that it can battle by defeating Ash's Bulbasaur. After Misty's Psyduck defeats Keith's Farfetch'd with its Disable, and after Team Rocket dumps a bunch of Voltorb that he gave to them from their balloon, he decides not to steal Pokémon anymore and returns the Pokémon to their rightful Trainers. After learning this lesson, he decides to train his Farfetch'd in catching Pokémon, rather than stealing them.
