Murtaugh (Japanese: マートー Maatoo) is a wandering Pokémon trainer and the current Champion of the Xeno region. Known and renowed as the World's Strongest Trainer (Japanese: 世界最強のトレーナー The World's Strongest Trainer), Murtaugh has also developed something of a ongoing argument with the Elite Four, as he seems to greatly enjoy his previous life as a regular trainer more than his current life as the champion, and will often go on long treks in order to get back to the root of it all, Lancelot, his Gallade, by his side. He also plays a major role in Pokémon ANT.
