Travon is the owner of the Sangi Ranch and he raises Merriep. Ellie is his granddaughter and she lives with him at the ranch. She had been trying to help her Denryu perfect its ThunderPunch when Ash Ketchum and his friends stopped by the ranch.

Travon wanted to trade in Ellie's Ampharos at a Pokémon Trade Meet in the neighboring town but Ellie knew that her Denryu was doing its best and asked to let her watch it a bit longer to help it improve. Her faith in Denryu proved to be well placed as Ellie's Ampharos fought off Team Rocket and protected the Merriep from being stolen.

Travon makes a very good soup that Ash Ketchum and his friends all enjoyed. Ash Ketchum liked it so much that he wanted a second cup.
