Astur

Émile's Staraptor aka Astur is his third Pokémon. Though his name is Astur, Émile didn't realise this until after about 24 years. He first appeared in chapter 1 of Radiant Ace.

Description
He is a shiny, but he is different than most shinies: his eyes are dark blue and his bill is pure yellow (instead of being tipped in brownish-black).

Before Stanford
He was caught at Route 101 in Hoenn. It is unknown as to why he was there.

In Stanford
In chapter 46, he was shot by a Team Havoc poacher; however, it was only in the wing and he survived.

Before Émile went to Unova, he left him with Astur's mate, Arlie, under the care of his father.

In Nanu's Revenge
He appears, along with his other teammates, in Nanu and Naomi's wedding.
