* '''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. His gym specializes in {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and he awards the player with the {{badge|Volcano}} upon defeat. In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], his gym is destroyed by a volcanic eruption and he builds a temporary gym inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] where he continues his duties as a Gym Leader.
* '''Hareta''' (Japanese: '''ハレタ''') is the main character of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]] and the adopted grandson of [[Professor Rowan]].


* Blaine is known as ''"The Hotheaded Riddle Master!"'' In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], he quizzes the player's knowledge of Pokémon and they must answer every question correctly, or face a trainer battle for every incorrect answer, before battling him.
* When Hareta was little, his father, [[Kaisei]], left him in the custody of [[Professor Rowan]].


* Blaine made his anime debut in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', offering {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} room and board if they were able to correctly answer his riddles. Ash later earned his Volcano Badge after battling against [[Blaine's Magmar]] atop the volcano.
* Hareta is extremely defensive of Pokémon and is angered when he sees them getting abused.


* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Blaine was part of the team of scientists that created {{adv|Mewtwo}}, and actually sacrificed part of the flesh on his arm so that Mewtwo could survive outside the lab. This gave him a psychic connection with the Pokémon, but also caused him great pain. This bond was later severed by {{p|Entei}} who then teamed up with Blaine for a time and later left him for {{adv|Silver}}.
* Because of his living with Pokémon most of his life, Hareta is unfamiliar with technology and is prone to being very curious of places like cities or even confusing things as food.


* Blaine had his own {{TCG|Blaine|theme deck}} in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* He has the tendency to forget the names of people, such as when he called [[Cyrus]] "Surface" or calling [[Mars]] "Mabs."


* Blaine has gone through two different designs: Originally he had reddish-gray hair along the side of his head with a bald crown, but later was made completely bald with a mustache.
* Hareta chose {{p|Piplup}} as his [[Starter Pokémon]]. Similar to Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, it held an [[Evolutionary stone#Everstone|Everstone]] at first but later on, it could not bear all the energy because of it and evolved into a {{p|Prinplup}} then immediately into an [[Hareta's Empoleon|Empoleon]] in the same chapter, after [[Mitsumi]] removed the stone.
