Pryce (Japanese: ヤナギ Yanagi) is the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town's Gym, known officially as the Mahogany Gym. He is an expert in Ice-type Pokémon. He gives the Glacier Badge to Trainers who defeat him at his Gym.

In the core series games

Pryce appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. A specialist of the Ice-type, he is known as "The Teacher of Winter's Harshness". Pryce is one of the oldest Gym Leaders players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before Ethan, Kris, and Lyra were born. The secret behind his power is—like Chuck—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.

Pryce's Mahogany Gym cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in Mahogany Town. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once Team Rocket has been defeated at their headquarters and the Gyarados at the nearby Lake of Rage have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the Glacier Badge, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: TM16 (Icy Wind) will be given in Generation II, and TM07 (Hail) is given in Generation IV.

Like all Gym Leaders in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his Pokégear phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in Saffron City's Fighting Dojo.

Main series

Pryce in the anime

In the past, Pryce was a Trainer himself. His Piloswine was more like family to him and helped Pryce win many battles. During a national competition, however, Pryce and Piloswine were defeated by a Magmar and left with severe burns to their bodies. While the two were healing together, Piloswine walked off one night during a blizzard and left Pryce alone without explanation. Since then, Pryce had become hostile and cold towards challengers and his other Pokémon, subsequently earning himself the nickname "Icy Pryce".

Pryce in his youth

In the present day, Pryce debuted in Rage of Innocence, where he had his Dewgong freeze over the river to stop the Red Gyarados from reaching Mahogany Town and then scolded Ash for thinking he could befriend the rampaging Pokémon.

Pryce's position as the Mahogany Town Gym Leader was revealed in the following episode, much to Ash's shock. Pryce was unimpressed to see Ash, especially with his Pikachu on his shoulder, and he sent out his Dewgong to prove that people and Pokémon can't be friends. Ash sent out his Phanpy, but Dewgong froze it with Ice Beam. Pryce turned down Ash's Gym challenge because he deemed him to be a weak Trainer with no strategy before walking off.

Pryce later came across Ash again as he was in the middle of a confrontation with Team Rocket. He tried to guide Ash away, but the pair ended up losing their footing and fell into a crevasse. However, Ash's Totodile and Noctowl were able to soften their landing. Out of gratitude, Pryce healed Totodile with some wild herbs. The pair later discovered a cave using Totodile's earlier Water Gun, and Pryce soon located a leg bracelet that belonged to his Piloswine. They soon reached an ice cavern and found Piloswine encased in ice. Pryce realized that Piloswine had left years ago to retrieve some herbs that could heal burns, and he forgave it. Ash used Cyndaquil's Flamethrower and Pikachu's Thunderbolt to free Piloswine from the ice and awaken it. Pryce later teamed up with Piloswine to defeat Team Rocket when they tried to steal it. Upon returning to the Mahogany Gym, Pryce agreed to have a Gym battle with Ash the following day.

In Nice Pryce, Baby!, Ash returned to the Mahogany Gym the following morning. For the first round, Cyndaquil went up against Pryce's Dewgong. The battle quickly went underwater, and Cyndaquil emerged victorious after using a close-range Swift attack followed by a Flamethrower. Pryce sent out Piloswine, and it defeated Cyndaquil with a powerful Take Down. Pikachu was sent out next, and while his speed was useless on the icy field, Pikachu was able to slide around and land a few Electric attacks. Despite Piloswine's endurance, Pryce decided to forfeit the match because it was becoming too exhausted to continue. As a result, he awarded Ash the Glacier Badge.

He reappeared in a flashback in Why? Wynaut!.

Character

Pryce had become an incredibly stressed and cold person after his faithful Piloswine seemingly walked out on him after they lost a battle years ago. He went on to focus his energy and strategy on training a Pokémon's abilities, but had no emotional connection with them. He even refused Ash's initial Gym challenge after deeming him too emotionally involved with his Pokémon. However, after being reunited with his Piloswine and realizing why it left him in As Cold as Pryce, Pryce's sadness was replaced by joy and optimism.

His old friend Sheila had noticed a substantial difference in him by the events of Nice Pryce, Baby!, which were reminiscent of Pryce's younger days. In battle, Pryce proved to be fiercely competitive. He used the battlefield to his full advantage, freezing it over to make an icy wasteland that hindered an opponent's speed based strategies or breaking up the ice to make an underwater field ideal for his many dual Water and Ice Pokémon. Pryce's Dewgong and Piloswine were shown to be excellent at landing direct attacks with their sharp horns and also striking at a distance with their Ice moves.

Pryce commonly meditates at a mountain waterfall near Mahogany Town on a daily basis to keep his mind sharp and clear.

Pryce in Pokémon Adventures

History

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

When the Legendary Pokémon Suicune begins challenging the Gym Leaders, Whitney, DJ Mary, the Pokémon Association Director, and Hirō go to the Mahogany Gym after deducing that it will be Suicune's next target. There, they encounter Pryce, who welcomes his visitors with warm hospitality. One of his ice sculptures begins moving, which turns out to be Suicune after having been frozen in ice. Pryce helps battle Suicune, but upon its defeat, the Pokémon is revealed to be nothing but an ice sculpture that had appeared to move with the use of Pryce's Pokémon. Pryce reveals that he set up the battle as training in case he was attacked by the real Suicune.

At the Indigo Plateau, Pryce arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. Pryce was appointed the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and is set to face off against Erika of Celadon City, the Kanto representative, in the eighth and final match. Due to Blaine feeling under the weather, his match is postponed, thus moving Pryce and Erika's match up. Pryce faces Erika in battle, which ends with him as the victor. When the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Pryce disappears as the other Gym Leaders face the army of mind-controlled Team Rocket Grunts.

Pryce in his youth

In the climax of this chapter, it is revealed that Pryce is actually the true identity of the Masked Man. After having his disguise destroyed by Gold, Pryce uses the Silver and Rainbow Wings to create a GS Ball, which could capture the Pokémon that can travel through time, Celebi. With it, he escapes into the Crack in Time, only to be pursued by a relentless Gold. After exiting, Pryce is attacked by the other Pokédex holders, but he easily manages to fend them off. When Celebi emerges from its shrine at the Ilex Forest, Pryce captures it and forces it to send him back in time to a certain point in his life. Once they free themselves from his ice prisons, Gold, Silver, and Crystal follow Pryce back in time to stop his evil plan. There, it is revealed that in his youth, Pryce had lost his two Lapras in an avalanche, leaving their child an orphan. Pryce reveals that all along, his plan was to go back in time to reunite his Lapras, La Glace, with its long-lost parents.

Pryce fights against Gold one last time, where it ends with Gold's Pibu destroying the GS Ball, freeing Celebi from Pryce's control. Although defeated, La Glace flies to the past, where it is reunited with its parents. Celebi helps heal Pryce's heart by playing a song from his past, bringing the man to tears in the process. Having a change of heart, Pryce expresses his envy at Gold's youth as he willingly lets himself fall into the voids of time, where he was presumed missing.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Pryce in the ninth chapter

Pryce returns along with Lance and Giovanni to stop the three Legendary Pokémon created by Arceus. There, Pryce reveals that while he was trapped in the voids of time, he witnessed the beginning of the world, the births of legendary and mirage Pokémon, and a future that was destroyed by the three Pokémon created by Arceus. Knowing what lies ahead, Pryce called out to someone for help, and was heard by Lance. Celebi, having sensed this beforehand, released Pryce out of the Ilex Forest Shrine, where they encountered Giovanni, who was waiting for Celebi's arrival to cure his disease. When Giovanni saw Pryce, he immediately attacked Pryce and would have killed him if it weren't for the intervention of Lance, who told them of the events going on at the Sinjoh Ruins. Although reluctant, the three Trainers formed an alliance to stop the destruction before it could begin.

While Giovanni faced Giratina and Lance faced Palkia, Pryce went up against Dialga with his Swinub. Although Dialga had the ability to manipulate the flow of time, Pryce's past experience with time gives him immunity to its attacks. After Arceus is calmed down by Gold, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina leave to parts unknown, which finally ends the battle. After Celebi helps heal Giovanni's disease, Giovanni entrusts Pryce and Lance to train his son so that in the future, they may battle. In the meantime, Pryce decides to return to his Gym and resume his position as a Gym Leader. Silver forgives Pryce for his past misdeeds and returns the Gym Badge he previously stole from him.

Character

Pryce is a frail man who uses a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his Gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack.

Pryce was first seen searching for his lost Pokémon. Red found his Swinub covered in ice, and helped Pryce to try to rescue it. They couldn't get Swinub out, but eventually the ice cracked and Swinub escaped. Pryce and Red went to his Gym, where Pryce challenged Red to a battle. During the battle, Clefairy tries to dazzle Swinub in order to trick it. Clefairy's plan worked until it put on Piloswine costume, which angered Piloswine and caused it to attack Clefairy. Piloswine was finally reunited with Pryce and Swinub.

Trivia

His Japanese Leader title is 冬の厳しさを教える者.
Pryce is the only Gym Leader who has forfeited to Ash.
In the games, Pryce is the only male Johto Gym Leader to have a Generation II Pokémon. Each of the other four male Johto Gym Leaders have only Generation I Pokémon.
In Generation III, a Pryce lookalike, along with Jasmine and Whitney's, can be seen as an audience member in a Pokémon Contest.
Pryce is the only Gym Leader whose highest-leveled Pokémon is at a lower level than the highest-leveled Pokémon of the Gym Leader before him.
As stated by in-battle dialogue in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and later during random calls on the Pokégear, Pryce's middle name is Willow, which also happens to be his Japanese name's translation.
In Generation II, a Boarder in Pryce's Gym states that the secret to Pryce's power is his daily meditation under a waterfall. In Generation IV, this is changed to his sitting on top of "very cold ice".
- This may be because in Generation IV, Chuck trains through meditation under a waterfall.
In Generation II, even though Piloswine cannot learn Fury Attack until level 33, Pryce's Piloswine knows it at level 31.
In Black 2 and White 2, the moveset and held item used by his Dewgong in the Type Expert and World Leaders Tournaments are the exact same as the ones used in rematches in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Pryce has an erroneous Tentacruel in Pokémon Stadium 2: Mirror Coat is an Egg Move, while Reflect is a Generation I TM.
In Generation IV, Pryce states that the Glacier Badge will raise the Special stats of Pokémon, despite Badges no longer raising stats in this generation.

+Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. A specialist of the {{type|Ice}}, he is known as "The Teacher of Winter's Harshness". Pryce is one of the oldest Gym Leaders {{player}}s will face in the {{pkmn|games}}: he has been {{pkmn|training}} Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.
-Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the seventh Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region. A specialist of the {{type|Ice}}, Pryce is known as "The Teacher of Winter's Harshness". Pryce is the oldest Gym Leader players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.
 Pryce's [[Mahogany Gym]] cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in [[Mahogany Town]]. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once [[Team Rocket]] has been defeated at their [[Team Rocket HQ|headquarters]] and the {{p|Gyarados}} at the nearby [[Lake of Rage]] have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the {{Badge|Glacier}}, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.
-Like all Gym Leaders in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his [[Pokégear]] phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

-Pryce also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Like other Gym Leaders' teams in this game, he uses a variety of Pokémon not of his specialist type. Uniquely, Pryce uses a [[legendary Pokémon]]: the {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}.

+===Main series===
+[[File:Pryce anime.png|thumb|250px|Pryce in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
+In the past, Pryce was a {{pkmn|Trainer}} himself. His {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} was more like family to him and helped Pryce win many {{pkmn|battle}}s. During a national competition, however, Pryce and Piloswine were defeated by a {{p|Magmar}} and left with severe {{status|burn}}s to their bodies. While the two were healing together, Piloswine walked off one night during a blizzard and left Pryce alone without explanation. Since then, Pryce had become hostile and cold towards challengers and his other Pokémon, subsequently earning himself the nickname "Icy Pryce".
+[[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|left|250px|Pryce in his youth]]
+In the present day, Pryce debuted in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', where he had his {{p|Dewgong}} {{m|Ice Beam|freeze over}} the river to stop the {{TP|Lance|Red Gyarados|Gyarados}} from reaching [[Mahogany Town]] and then scolded {{Ash}} for thinking he could befriend the rampaging Pokémon.
-:''"When the ice and snow melt, spring arrives. You and your Pokémon will be together for many years to come. Cherish your time together!"'
+Pryce's position as the Mahogany Town [[Gym Leader]] was revealed in the [[EP237|following episode]], much to Ash's shock. Pryce was unimpressed to see Ash, especially with his {{AP|Pikachu}} on his shoulder, and he sent out his Dewgong to prove that people and Pokémon can't be friends. Ash sent out his {{AP|Phanpy}}, but Dewgong {{status|frozen|froze}} it with Ice Beam. Pryce turned down Ash's [[Gym]] challenge because he deemed him to be a weak Trainer with no strategy before walking off.
-=====[[Fighting Dojo]]=====
+Pryce later came across Ash again as he was in the middle of a confrontation with {{TRT}}. He tried to guide Ash away, but the pair ended up losing their footing and fell into a crevasse. However, [[Ash's Totodile]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} were able to soften their landing. Out of gratitude, Pryce healed Totodile with some wild herbs. The pair later discovered a cave using Totodile's earlier {{m|Water Gun}}, and Pryce soon located a leg bracelet that belonged to his Piloswine. They soon reached an ice cavern and found Piloswine encased in ice. Pryce realized that Piloswine had left years ago to retrieve some herbs that could heal burns, and he forgave it. Ash used {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} to free Piloswine from the ice and awaken it. Pryce later teamed up with Piloswine to defeat Team Rocket when they tried to steal it. Upon returning to the [[Mahogany Gym]], Pryce agreed to have a Gym battle with Ash the following day.
-* Before battle
-:''"Finally. No need for words. A Pokémon battle is the way for us to communicate."''
-* After being defeated
+In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', Ash returned to the Mahogany Gym the following morning. For the first round, Cyndaquil went up against Pryce's Dewgong. The battle quickly went underwater, and Cyndaquil emerged victorious after using a close-range {{m|Swift}} attack followed by a Flamethrower. Pryce sent out Piloswine, and it defeated Cyndaquil with a powerful {{m|Take Down}}. Pikachu was sent out next, and while his speed was useless on the icy field, Pikachu was able to slide around and land a few {{t|Electric}} attacks. Despite Piloswine's endurance, Pryce decided to forfeit the match because it was becoming too exhausted to continue. As a result, he awarded Ash the {{Badge|Glacier}}.
-:''"Mmm... Impressive!"''
-=====[[Pokégear]] Registering ([[Lake of Rage]])=====
+He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.
-:''"The strong rain falling on the surface seems to be agitating the raging lake. This must have some purpose that we meet again. Why don't we exchange our phone numbers?"''
-::Yes: ''"I make it a habit to train myself on Monday mornings to give this lazy body a spine. You could be a good training partner. I'll be waiting for your call!"''
-::No: ''"That's OK, too. People ought to have their own ideas. That's the way it is."''
-:''"So? Will you exchange numbers with me?"''
-=====Pokégear Phone=====
+====Character====
-* Pryce calling the player:
+Pryce had become an incredibly stressed and cold person after his faithful {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} seemingly walked out on him after they lost a {{pkmn|battle}} years ago. He went on to focus his energy and strategy on {{pkmn|training}} a Pokémon's abilities, but had no emotional connection with them. He even refused {{Ash}}'s initial Gym challenge after deeming him too emotionally involved with his Pokémon. However, after being reunited with his Piloswine and realizing why it left him in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pryce's sadness was replaced by joy and optimism.
-:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Just like one of my children... No. You’re more like one of my grandchildren... There’s such an age difference between myself and the Trainers who defeat me nowadays... But you know, the strange thing is that when I lose, I don’t feel disappointed. I just feel happy. Just happy that such talented Trainers have come to see me. ...I just wanted to talk to someone about that, so I called you. That’s all."''
-:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Do you know why they call me the winter Trainer? Do you recall that my middle name is “Willow”? The willow tree looks like it withers in winter’s cold. But really, it sprouts dozens of new buds. My fighting style is also strong just like that... It’s written in old books, you know. You should look it up sometime."''
+His old friend [[Sheila]] had noticed a substantial difference in him by the events of ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', which were reminiscent of Pryce's younger days. In battle, Pryce proved to be fiercely competitive. He used the battlefield to his full advantage, freezing it over to make an icy wasteland that hindered an opponent's speed based strategies or breaking up the ice to make an underwater field ideal for his many dual {{t|Water}} and {{t|Ice}} Pokémon. Pryce's {{p|Dewgong}} and Piloswine were shown to be excellent at landing direct attacks with their sharp horns and also striking at a distance with their Ice [[move]]s.
-* Calling him:
+Pryce commonly meditates at a mountain waterfall near [[Mahogany Town]] on a daily basis to keep his mind sharp and clear.
-:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. You know, there are Gym Leaders out there who are stronger than me. You should try battling them. I don't think you'll lose."''
-:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. I usually get up pretty early... If we're going to battle, I'm at my best in the morning... How about you give me a call on Monday morning!"''
+====Pokémon====
+=====On hand=====
-* On Monday mornings:
-:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. Oh, perfect timing... I was starting to get bored... Do you want to battle again?"''
-::No: ''"I see. Well, that's how it's got to be... If you ever change your mind, give me a call. Remember, I'm free on Monday mornings."''
-::Yes: ''"Honesty is good. So I'll meet you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City, then?"''
-:''"What? I can’t hear you very well. I think we’ve got a bad connection. Well, if you have something you want to talk to me about, go somewhere else and try calling again."''

-==In the anime==
-[[File:Pryce anime.png|thumb|left|Pryce in the anime]]
-Pryce appeared in three episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', and he was featured as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''.
-In the anime, Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back. He believed it had abandoned him, and he grew bitter. He became more cold-hearted and believed that Pokémon are for battling and nothing more. Because of this, he refused to fight {{Ash}}, thinking him to be a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When Ash compelled him to a battle, Pryce finally accepted. Using his {{p|Dewgong}}, he beat [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] easily.
-[[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|Pryce in his youth]]
-Later when Ash again tried to talk Pryce into a battle, they stumbled onto a cave where they found Pryce's Piloswine frozen in ice. It had some plants that aided in the healing of burns. It was then that Pryce realized that Piloswine had gone in search of medicine for him, and only the snow storm trapping the Pokémon in ice prevented it from returning to him. Piloswine was defrosted and on being reunited with Piloswine, Pryce lost his cold-heartedness and became happy again.
-The next morning, Ash battled Pryce in a Gym battle. After a fierce battle, Pryce forfeited as his Piloswine became tired and he knew it would serve no purpose to keep going.

-Pryce is a frail man confined to a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his Gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack. That is how he simulated a battle against {{p|Suicune}} while fooling those who were invited over to watch, including [[Whitney]] and [[DJ Mary]].
+====History====
+====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
-Despite his frailness, he is still the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and was thus automatically pitted against [[Erika]], who represented Kanto's Gym Leaders, in the exhibition match which he won.
+When the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}} begins challenging the Gym Leaders, [[Whitney]], [[DJ Mary]], the [[Pokémon Association]] Director, and [[Radio Director|Hirō]] go to the Mahogany Gym after deducing that it will be Suicune's next target. There, they encounter Pryce, who welcomes his visitors with warm hospitality. One of his ice sculptures begins moving, which turns out to be Suicune after having been frozen in ice. Pryce helps battle Suicune, but upon its defeat, the Pokémon is revealed to be nothing but an ice sculpture that had appeared to move with the use of Pryce's Pokémon. Pryce reveals that he set up the battle as training in case he was attacked by the real Suicune.
-However, he has a sinister side&mdash;he is also the criminal mastermind [[Masked Man]].
-He kidnapped {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Green}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]] ([[Will]] and [[Karen]] willingly joined him) when they were children. Pryce raised them to be his servants. Even though Green and Silver escaped, he continued to raise the other four as his slaves.
+At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Pryce arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. Pryce was appointed the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and is set to face off against [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]], the Kanto representative, in the eighth and final match. Due to Blaine feeling under the weather, his match is postponed, thus moving Pryce and Erika's match up. Pryce faces Erika in battle, which ends with him as the victor. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Pryce disappears as the other Gym Leaders face the army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s.
-Then, after {{adv|Giovanni}} disbanded [[Team Rocket]], he was able to recruit the now-leaderless Rocket Grunts as his underlings. Some came willingly; others were mind-controlled with masks.
+[[File:Young Pryce Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Pryce in his youth]]
+In the climax of this chapter, it is revealed that Pryce is actually the true identity of the Masked Man. After having his disguise destroyed by {{adv|Gold}}, Pryce uses the [[Silver Wing|Silver]] and [[Rainbow Wing]]s to create a [[GS Ball]], which could capture the Pokémon that can [[Time travel|travel through time]], {{adv|Celebi}}. With it, he escapes into the Crack in Time, only to be pursued by a relentless Gold. After exiting, Pryce is attacked by the other Pokédex holders, but he easily manages to fend them off. When Celebi emerges from its shrine at the Ilex Forest, Pryce captures it and forces it to send him back in time to a certain point in his life. Once they free themselves from his ice prisons, Gold, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} follow Pryce back in time to stop his evil plan. There, it is revealed that in his youth, Pryce had lost his two {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche, leaving their child an orphan. Pryce reveals that all along, his plan was to go back in time to reunite his Lapras, La Glace, with its long-lost parents.
-In his youth, Pryce had lost two of his {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche. He never got over the traumatic event, and it seemed to scar him emotionally. He stopped at nothing to gain {{p|Celebi}}'s power so that he could travel through time and be reunited with his Pokémon.
+Pryce fights against Gold one last time, where it ends with Gold's [[Pibu]] destroying the GS Ball, freeing Celebi from Pryce's control. Although defeated, La Glace flies to the past, where it is reunited with its parents. Celebi helps heal Pryce's heart by playing [[Boy and his Lapras|a song from his past]], bringing the man to tears in the process. Having a change of heart, Pryce expresses his envy at Gold's youth as he willingly lets himself fall into the voids of time, where he was presumed missing.
-Unfortunately, the power of Celebi's time travel almost caused the world to freeze over. Apparently, time travel causes temperatures to plummet. {{adv|Gold}} followed Pryce through time and his {{p|Pichu}} destroyed the [[GS Ball]], freeing Celebi.
+====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
+[[File:Pryce HGSS chapter.png|thumb|220px|Pryce in the ninth chapter]]
+Pryce returns along with [[Lance]] and {{adv|Giovanni}} to stop the three Legendary Pokémon created by {{adv|Arceus}}. There, Pryce reveals that while he was trapped in the voids of time, he witnessed the beginning of the world, the births of legendary and mirage Pokémon, and a future that was destroyed by {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Dialga|the}} {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Palkia|three}} {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Giratina|Pokémon}} created by Arceus. Knowing what lies ahead, Pryce called out to someone for help, and was heard by Lance. Celebi, having sensed this beforehand, released Pryce out of the Ilex Forest Shrine, where they encountered Giovanni, who was waiting for Celebi's arrival to cure his disease. When Giovanni saw Pryce, he immediately attacked Pryce and would have killed him if it weren't for the intervention of Lance, who told them of the events going on at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Although reluctant, the three Trainers formed an alliance to stop the destruction before it could begin.
-Pryce vanished in the time vortex, and for several years, his fate was unknown.
+While Giovanni faced Giratina and Lance faced Palkia, Pryce went up against Dialga with his {{p|Swinub}}. Although Dialga had the ability to manipulate the flow of time, Pryce's past experience with time gives him immunity to its attacks. After Arceus is calmed down by Gold, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina leave to parts unknown, which finally ends the battle. After Celebi helps heal Giovanni's disease, Giovanni entrusts Pryce and Lance to train his son so that in the future, they may battle. In the meantime, Pryce decides to return to his Gym and resume his position as a Gym Leader. Silver forgives Pryce for his past misdeeds and returns the Gym Badge he previously stole from him.
-Pryce finally reappears once again several years later alongside [[Giovanni]] and [[Lance]]. It is currently unknown what happened to him inside the time vortex or how he escaped.
+====Character====
+Pryce is a frail man who uses a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his Gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack.
