Silver (Japanese: シルバー Silver) is the sixth main character of the manga series Pokémon Adventures. His first Pokémon was a Sneasel. As a child, he was kidnapped and raised by the evil Mask of Ice, where he met and became close with Green. Together they escaped, and Silver went to Johto, where he later stole Professor Elm's Totodile. This is similar to the way Green stole Professor Oak's Squirtle upon her return.

Silver's special skill, as described by Professor Oak, is Pokémon trading and is known as the "Exchanger" (換える者 Exchanger).

Silver is based on the rival character of the same name in the Generation II and Generation IV games.

Character history

Past

As revealed in the FireRed & LeafGreen chapter, Silver is the son of Team Rocket boss Giovanni. As a young child, Silver was kidnapped by the Mask of Ice to serve under him. It was there that he met and befriended Green, and together they escaped from the Mask of Ice and parted ways.

Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter

In his quest to take down the Mask of Ice and Team Rocket, Silver allied himself with Lance and stole a Totodile from Professor Elm's lab. In stealing the Pokémon, Silver made himself a rival in Gold, who then tried to track him down. The two boys eventually realized they share a common goal, however, as Gold was also trying to defeat the Mask of Ice. Together, Gold and Silver battled the villain at the Lake of Rage, but were defeated, and their fates were left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed they were in Whirl Islands, where they were found by Lt. Surge. They met Crystal and battled a Lugia that started attacking them, but failed to catch it. Silver then headed to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League in an attempt to find the Mask of Ice, but Green teleported him away from there to save him.

In the final confrontation in Ilex Forest, Silver fought Will and won. Later, together with Gold and Crystal, he dove after Pryce into the time portal. The Pokédex holders made it out unharmed, but Pryce was stuck inside.

FireRed & LeafGreen chapter

In the fifth chapter, inspired by Green meeting her parents, Silver renews his quest to find the truth about his own past. This journey takes him to Viridian City, where he meets Yellow, who reads the mind of his Sneasel. Meanwhile, Silver's real father, Giovanni, is also heading to Viridian to reunite with Silver.

Although Silver is initially unhappy about his true heritage, Blue helps him realize that Giovanni has his qualities, and Silver uses his Ursaring to help rescue his father. In the end, however, one of Giovanni's underlings, Sird, turns Silver and his friends to statues with a beam intended for Deoxys.

Emerald chapter

Silver remains a statue for most of this chapter, and is only set free towards the end, when Emerald wishes Jirachi to do so. Along with the other Pokédex holders, Silver then joins the fight against Guile Hideout.
