Mr. Charles Goodshow (Japanese: タマランゼ会長 President Tamaranze) is the current president of the Pokémon League, the duties of which include presiding over each region's League Conference.
History[]
Mr. Goodshow has made several appearances in the Pokémon anime. In his first appearance in All Fired Up!, he watched the Moltres flame to make sure no harm would come to it. When Ash ran into the flame and tried to run with it, Officer Jenny tried to stop him, saying he looked like a troublemaker. However, Mr. Goodshow stepped in and defended Ash while also informing Officer Jenny that how a person looked on the outside wasn't as important as who they were on the inside. So, Ash was allowed to run with the flame.
Mr. Goodshow also appeared during the Johto and Hoenn League opening ceremonies. In Like a Meowth to a Flame, during the opening of the Ever Grande Tournament, Team Rocket had stolen the flame and were flying away with it, Mr. Goodshow was confident that Ash would get the flame back, and sure enough, using his Glalie, Ash safely returned the flame.
Mr. Goodshow also had a cameo appearance during Ash and Gary's battle in Can't Beat the Heat. In At the End of the Fray, he makes another cameo to present Tyson with the winner's trophy.
Mr. Goodshow showed up in the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Conference and was seen viewing the opening ceremony with Cynthia in An Old Family Blend!. Throughout the episodes featuring the conference, he was present watching battles with Cynthia.
