'''Sigh for Psyduck''' (Japanese: '''VSコダック''' ''VS. {{tt|Koduck|Psyduck}}'') is the thirteenth round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Synopsis==
{{Adv|Red}} arrives in [[Lavender Town]] in the middle of a rain-storm and is looking for somewhere dry to stay. He tries to ask people for help, but they completely ignore him. While wandering around, he comes across an old man, [[Mr. Fuji]], at a tombstone. Red asks what he is doing: he is paying his respects to his deceased {{p|Doduo}}. Red also pays his respects. Mr. Fuji appreciates Red's kindness and asks him to go to his house.

At Mr. Fuji's house, he explains the origin of the [[Pokémon Tower]], a cemetery built to respect the souls of Pokémon. Red wonders why Mr. Fuji's Doduo was not buried in the Tower; Mr. Fuji tells him that there are ghosts in the Tower. Red refuses to believe that there are ghosts, but Mr. Fuji states that the ghosts have made the townsfolk frightful and untrustworthy. While Mr. Fuji explains, Red is looking through old pictures of Mr. Fuji and his Doduo and stumbles upon one that has {{Adv|Blue}} in it. Mr. Fuji informs Red that Blue went into the Tower about two weeks ago and never returned. Apparently, no one that enters the Tower returns. Intrigued by the mystery, Red runs into the building.

While wondering why there is an odd fog inside the building, Red encounters a {{p|Psyduck}} and is confused to see a water type pokemon in such an earie place. But when the Psyduck's eyeballs suddenly sink into the back of its eye sockets along with some of its skins and revealing some bones as it crept closer to him, Red realizes that the Psyduck is actually a mindless undead. At the same time, many other undead pokemons show up and surround him in the fog.

Red quickly sends out his Bulbasaur who whips the undead Psyduck into pieces using its Vine Whip attack. As the other undead pokemons close in on the duo, Red and his Bulbasaur dashes out for the exit in a panic. However, just before he is about to leave the tower, Red realizes that the undead pokemons can only stay in the fog. In the distance, he sees fire. The fire is coming from the tail of Blue's {{p|Charmeleon}}! He tries to run over to them, but Charmeleon keeps firing flames at him. When he gets a closer look, he sees that there is something different about Blue: he is being controlled by the fog...

'''Danger: High Voltorb''' (Japanese: '''VSビリリダマ''' ''VS. {{tt|Biriridama|Voltorb}}'') is the tenth round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Synopsis==
Red and his Pokémon are out for some fresh air on the hills near [[Vermilion City]] when they spot a huge ship in the ocean. A few minutes later, Red is in front of the majestic [[S.S. Anne]]. He decides to get in and creeps inside unnoticed. However, his adventure in the ship is short; when he sees a suspicious Pokémon in one of the rooms, he screams, and the sailors kick him off the ship. As he thinks about the mysterious thing he saw, an odd old man interrupts and asks Red if he can see his Pokémon. Amazed by his team, the old man introduces himself as the Pokémon Fan Club president and takes Red downtown to the Fan Club.

Inside the building, a group of PokéFans chat about their favorite Pokémon and read their official magazine when the president, Red, and his Pokémon arrive. Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl instantly grab everyone's attention. A girl asks Red about ''Nyoro''. He responds that he has had it since it was a {{p|Poliwag}} and mentions all the battles he has won with it. A sudden silence sweeps the room. The president explains that the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] doesn't like to force Pokémon into battles and they prefer un-evolved ones because they're cute. Suddenly a desperate man enters the room saying his {{p|Exeggutor}} has been stolen. The President sadly remembers his stolen {{p|Abra}}, and seeing the old man crying, Red offers help. Since the thief acts around the same time every month and a huge transport is needed to carry all the Pokémon, Red concludes that the S.S. Anne is the answer.

Leaving ''Pika'' in the Fan Club as the president asked, Red again enters in the ship. Back in the room where he saw the suspicious Pokémon, Red finds a [[Poké Ball]], but when he tries to touch it, he gets zapped; it turns out to be a {{p|Voltorb}}. In a short battle, Poliwhirl ends up paralyzed, and a man appears out of nowhere and threatens Red for being a trespasser. Suddenly he sees [[Lt. Surge]] and is immediately surrounded by a bunch of {{t|Electric}} Pokémon ready to attack.

==Major events==
* Red meets Pokémon Fan Club President
* Red meets Lt. Surge.

==Trivia==
* The suspicious Pokémon locked in a room on the S.S. Anne is a {{p|Hitmonlee}}.
* The title is based off the common words on a high voltage sign, ''Danger: High Voltage''.

===Errors===
* Red says in this round that is very difficult to catch a Pokémon that already belongs to another trainer, counteracting the fact that he caught [[Misty]]'s {{p|Gyarados}} back in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. It should also be noted that in the {{pkmn|games}}, a Pokémon owned by a trainer cannot be caught.

'''Platinum Berlitz''' (Japanese: '''プラチナ・ベルリッツ''' ''Platinum Berlitz'') is the female main character for the Pokémon {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} and the {{chap|Platinum}} story arcs of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. At first, she was only known by her family name; her given name is the same as the then unreleased third version to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{v2|Platinum}}.

==Character==
Platinum is a member of the house of Berlitz, a 200-year old and {{wp|zaibatsu|extremely financially powerful family}} of [[Sinnoh]]. She wears diamond and pearl rings. She does not give her name to commoners, instead insisting that they refer to her as '''Missy''' (Japanese: '''お嬢様''' ''Ojōsama'', a term used to refer to the daughter of someone of high class).

She is very knowledgeable as a result of reading lots of books during her childhood. However, since beginning her journey she has decided that it is better to actually experience as much as possible. For this reason, Platinum challenges the [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh and also takes on other challenges such as the [[Super Contest]]s of [[Hearthome City]]. She has shown a natural tendency to recognize patterns and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of various areas of Sinnoh and Pokémon in general, although towards the beginning of her journey, she had difficulty dealing with wild Pokémon.

==History==
==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[Image:Bertlitz.png|thumb|left|Platinum at the beginning of the seventh chapter]]

Platinum is introduced at the beginning of the seventh chapter as a member of the ancient Berlitz family, which has a tradition for its member's coming of age to travel to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]] to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of the Berlitz's butler, Sebastian, her father hired [[Paka and Uji|two bodyguards]] to protect her on her journey. [[Professor Rowan]] provided her with three [[Pokédex]]es, three [[Pokétch]]es, and the three Sinnoh [[starter Pokémon]] so that Platinum would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research.

However, because {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} coincidentally match the bodyguards' description--one in a red scarf and the other in a green scarf--Platinum presumes they are her bodyguards instead, and the duo think that this journey is a sort of {{wp|Reality television|reality TV show}}. Platinum assumed that they were actually her bodyguards, chosen so the trio would not seem odd.

Platinum is amazed by the closeness of Pearl and Diamond, as well as their various skills: Pearl's assortment of {{pkmn|battle|battling}} advice and Diamond's ability to cook [[Poffin]]s and instincts on Pokémon. She also is an audience for their various Manzai attempts and is amused by them at times. Platinum often can be demanding of Pearl, annoying him. Platinum is also unaware of a [[CommonerShipping|crush]] Diamond has on her. It seems that, after saving her from [[Team Galactic]], Platinum gains respect for Diamond and Pearl, by calling them by their first names, but, she still refuses to give her name. The boys assume her name is "Missy", hearing it from Pearl's {{p|Chatot}}, who repeated it from a conversation between Platinum and her butler. After formally accepting them as her bodyguards and friends, she revealed her real name to them.

==={{chap|Platinum}}===
In the eighth chapter, Platinum is in the [[Battle Zone]] by herself and receives [[Steven Stone]]'s [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]]. She travels to the [[Battleground]], where she meets up with [[Looker]], who escorts her to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} as part of his ongoing investigation into [[Team Galactic]]. She has, so far, taken part in four of the five facilities, the Battle Castle, the Battle Arcade, the Battle Factory, and the Battle Hall, and has claimed victory in each. It seems that Platinum is trying to get information about out of the [[Frontier Brains]] about the [[Distortion World]] in order to save two "important people". She has also recently met [[Pearl (Adventures)|Pearl's]] father, [[Palmer]], and has gone off with him on his {{p|Cresselia}} to the Distortion World.

==Trivia==
*In the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl chapter of Pokémon Adventures, there were some moments where Platinum's first name was actually said, but her first name was always covered by another's speech bubble (to show that it's drowned out by that person's speech). For example, when facing the gym leader [[Maylene]], she is announced as the challenger, but yells when her name is said, so that her first name is unheard. The writers were most likely waiting for the release of {{game|Platinum}} to name her for it.
*Platinum is one of three Pokédex holders to have a known last name, the other two are {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}.
**Out of the three, she is the only one not to share her last name with an in-game [[Pokémon Professor|professor]], as she is not related to one.
*Three of Platinum's Pokémon are in the same evolutionary family as {{an|Dawn}}'s Pokémon, though unlike Platinum, Dawn's are still in their unevolved state (though one, Pachirisu, doesn't evolve).
**She also had a Mamoswine at one point, though she gave it it to Diamond without ever being shown using it.
**Besides this, she commanded a Togekiss who originally belonged to another Trainer; however, in Platinum's case, this was just temporally.

'''Pearl''' (Japanese: '''パール''' ''Pearl'') is one of the male main characters for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Personality==
Pearl is impatient and is often accidentally getting himself and his friend, {{adv|Diamond}} into trouble. He is the straight man (''{{wp|Manzai|tsukkomi}}'') of the {{wp|Double act|comedy duo}}, with Diamond is the funny man. His appearance is based off that of {{ga|Barry}} from the video game series.

Compared to Diamond, Pearl is hasty and easily angered and, according to Diamond, always goes out of his way to complete things he has started, which reflects the virtue that he is aligned with: willpower, which also makes him associated with {{p|Azelf}}. Pearl is also very bossy and usually tells Diamond and Platinum what to do.

[[Tower Tycoon Palmer|His father]] is very skilled in battling, and Pearl has learned a lot from him during his childhood, which has helped him in creating training sessions for Platinum to participate in for practice for her gym challenges. One of his most amazing abilities is his skill of being able to tell what move a Pokémon is preparing to use. Like his two traveling companions, Pearl was not very strong when he first set out on his journey across Sinnoh but now seems to be the strongest of them.

Because the two boys were neighbors during their childhood, Pearl and Diamond are practically as close as brothers. Even though Pearl often yells and smacks Diamond, Pearl truly does care for Diamond. Oppositely, Pearl likes Platinum's arrogant attitude towards Diamond and himself. Despite the fact that he often yells and criticizes her, Pearl always helps Platinum by helping prepare her for her goals and dreams, and is often amazed by her knowledge and perseverance. The two quickly got used to the others personality and have became close friends.

==History==
==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[‎Image:Dia_Pearl_and_Pokemon.png|left|thumb|Pearl, Diamond and their first Pokémon]]
Pearl was first introduced at the New Generation Funny Grand Prix in [[Jubilife City]], where he, along with Diamond, won the Judges' Special Merit Prize. Upon leaving the Grand Prix, Diamond and Pearl's prize was mixed up with [[Professor Rowan]]'s envelope, causing the boys to, unknowingly, accept the mission to guard {{adv|Platinum|Platinum Berlitz}} on her journey to the top of [[Mt. Coronet]], although they believed they were on a reality show and Platinum was the host.

In [[Oreburgh City]], Platinum decided to challenge gyms, and Diamond and Pearl helped her train, which helped build trust within the young trio. After many different trials and crises together, they finally reached Mt. Coronet, but they soon discovered that the cavern they have entered would not lead to the summit, and therefore had to continued their journey on to the eastern side of Sinnoh.

In [[Hearthome City]], Platinum decided to challenge a Super Contest. In order for the girl to win, Pearl planned a very strict dance program that Platinum would have to perform, which she did, which helped her snag the victory.

Afterward, the trio was attacked by Platinum's true bodyguards, [[Paka and Uji]], who believed that Diamond and Pearl where kidnappers who had taken Platinum for ransom. Thankfully, they were saved by [[Fantina]], who took them to the [[Lost Tower]]. Once Fantina deemed it save for them to leave, the trio went to the [[Solaceon Ruins]], where they saved a group of Unown before heading back out on their journey.

In [[Veilstone City]], Diamond and Pearl met up with Paka and Uji for real and had their first true battle with [[Team Galactic]]. During this battle, Diamond's [[Wig]] and [[Pearl's Infernape|Pearl's Monferno]] both evolved and Platinum's true identity was revealed to the two boys by Paka and Uji. However, before her real bodyguards had a chance to meet and explain things to the girl, they were banished into [[Distortion World|another dimension]] by Saturn. Once this happened, Diamond confessed to Pearl that he knew Platinum wasn't a reality TV host from the beginning, but he had kept it to himself because the misunderstanding was the thing that created and held together their friendship. The two then took an oath that they would protect her and keep their real identities a secret.

Later, following a seperation from Diamond and Platinum at Lake Valor, an adventure in the [[Great Marsh]] and Platinum's gym challenge in [[Pastoria City]], they met up with [[Cynthia]] at the [[Pokémon Mansion]], and she helped them clear the group of {{p|Psyduck}} that were blocking [[Route 210]]. They encountered Cyrus again in [[Celestic Town]] when the man broke into the ruins that held Sinnoh's legend of the three lakes. After the showdown with the man, in which Diamond and Pearl had a huge argument that had nearly cost them the victory, the trio ended up in Hearthome once again and Platinum challenged Fantina, who turned out to be the gym leader of the [[Hearthome Gym]].

After gaining a victory, the trio learned of Mr. Berlitz and Professor Rowan had disappeared. In order to find them, the trio went to [[Canalave City]], where they mistook [[Byron]] as Mr. Berlitz and Professor Rowan's kidnapper. After realizing the whole thing was a misunderstanding, Platinum finally learned of Dia and Pearl's true identity, and was completely horrified by the shocking news. However, after a horrible night full of nightmares, she decided to keep the boys as her companions and they resumed their journey with the new goal to stop Team Galactic's evil plans.

The trio was then split up to defend the three lakes of [[Sinnoh]] and Pearl was assigned to go to [[Lake Valor]]. On the way there, Pearl accidentally fell from a cliff in order to save a nest of {{p|Wingull}} and ended up in front of the [[Fuego Ironworks]], where he was reunited with the {{p| Luxray}} that he had befriended near the beginning of his journey and, after it said farewell to its herd, it joined Pearl's team.

Upon leaving the Fuego Ironworks, Pearl met up with [[Rad Rickshaw]] and traveled with the man to Lake Valor. Once they arrived, the two went across the lake to the small island in the center, where Pearl fought against Team Galactic's [[Saturn]] and witnessed the [[Galactic Bomb]]'s explosion. The two then fought of the Pokémon of willpower, {{p|Azelf}}, but Pearl lost the fight and collapsed.

[[‎Image:Pearl_catches_Buizel.png|right|300px|thumb|Pearl finally catches a Buizel]]
Pearl later awoke in the Pastoria Gym. While there, the gym leader of Pastoria, [[Crasher Wake]] suggested the boy catch a {{p|Floatzel}} or a {{p|Buizel}} as they seemed to fit Pearl's personality. After several failed attempts and some encouragement from his Pokémon and his new teacher Wake, Pearl finally caught a Buizel along with a {{p|Tauros}} and a {{p|Diglett}}. After some training with Wake and hearing that Diamond was on a Galactic Airship, Pearl left for Veilstone City in order to infiltrate the Team Galactic Headquarters.

Upon arriving in Veilstone, Pearl noticed that the city was guarded by Team Galactic. Thankfully, he was able to get through with the help of a group of {{p|Unown}} that he, along with Diamond and Platinum, had met in [[Solaceon Town]]. Once he managed to get inside of the Headquarters, he was reunited with his former traveling companions and sacrificed his Pokédex in order to save the [[Lake guardians]].

The newly reunited trio then regrouped with Cynthia and headed to the [[Spear Pillar]], where Diamond and Pearl split up with Platinum and Cynthia and time and space begins to distort. They then begin to fight off {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Right after that, a flock of {{p|Starly}} appear and begin attacking the group, which results in Chimhiko, [[Wig]], [[Chahiko]], and Lax fighting and defeating them after half an hour. When Chimhiko, Wig, and [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] are training in [[Eterna City]] for Platinum's Gym battle with [[Gardenia]], Cynthia walks past them and notices that the three Pokémon are about to evolve, after which all three of them evolve. He evolved later again alongside [[Wig]] in [[Veilstone City]]. He is quite possibly the most used Pokémon by any of the three Sinnoh Trainers and his speed and agility are often put to good use. He has a Naughty nature and has the ability [[Blaze]].}}

* Pearl uses a {{p|Buizel}} and has promised to protect Platinum; this is not unlike Platinum's real [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]], one of which also uses a {{p|Buizel}}.

'''Diamond''' (Japanese: '''ダイヤモンド''' ''Diamond'') is one of the male main characters for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Personality==
[[‎Image:Diamond Poses.jpg|left|thumb|Diamond's one man skit]]
Diamond is the funny man (''[[wp:Manzai|boke]]'') of the [[wp:Double act|comedy duo]], with his childhood friend {{adv|Pearl}} playing the straight man. Despite appearing seemingly dopey and slow-witted when performing his role, he is actually very perceptive. His appearance is based on the male [[player character]] of Diamond and Pearl, {{ga|Lucas}}. His name is often shortened to Dia, but is also called by his full name, Diamond, by Pearl when the latter is unusually serious.

Diamond is often apathetic and rarely not seen eating - even in dire situations, as was the case when he had a feast with his Pokémon while aboard a Galactic airship of which [[Mars]] was also a passenger of. He shares these traits with his Pokémon, especially so with his Munchlax. While not fat, he is much less active and energetic when compared to {{adv|Pearl}} or {{adv|Platinum}}, as seen when Platinum mused that every morning since the trio began traveling together, Diamond would perpetually end up being the last to get up. However, he is always serious when it comes to food and is an expert at cooking [[Poffin]]s. He also displays an ability to analyze the situation at hand - when something strikes him as illogical, he will attempt to make sense out of it. Diamond has a somewhat natural instinct to judge how a Pokémon feels and can be quite observant when something arouses his interest.

Diamond has a large amount of respect for Pearl and despite the latter's tendency to berate him aggressively, the two are as close as brothers. Diamond also has a not-so-small [[CommonerShipping|crush]] on {{adv|Platinum}}, which he developed when they first met.

Diamond has changed a lot from the beginning of his journey with Pearl and Platinum. He was convinced by Pearl after the incident at [[Veilstone City]] to set aside their dream of becoming great comedians to protect {{adv|Platinum}} until she finishes her journey. On [[Iron Island]], he also received training from [[Riley]] in order to further his battling skills, which were lacking when compared to {{adv|Pearl}}'s and {{adv|Platinum}}'s.

==History==
===Childhood===
Diamond grew up in [[Twinleaf Town]] with his mother. His best friend was his neighbor {{adv|Pearl}}, who he partnered up with to make a Comedy Pair after seeing two famous comedians at a show. He was also a fan of {{adv|Red}} and owned puppets of his Pokémon.

==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[‎Image:Dia_Pearl_and_Pokemon.png|right|thumb|Diamond, Pearl and their first Pokémon]]
Diamond first appeared at the New Generation Funny Grand Prix in [[Jubilife City]], where he, along with Pearl, was awarded the Judges' Special Merit Prize. Upon leaving the Grand Prix with their prize, Diamond and Pearl bumped into [[Professor Rowan]] and his assistant, Mr. Berlitz, causing them accidentally switch envelops and, unknowingly, receive the mission to guard {{adv|Platinum|Platinum Berlitz}} on her journey to the top of [[Mt. Coronet]], although they believed they were on a reality show and Platinum was the host.

In [[Oreburgh City]], Platinum decided to challenge gyms, and Diamond and Pearl helped her train, which helped build trust within the young trio. At the [[Valley Windworks]], met up with [[Mars]] for the first time and defeated her with Diamond's emotion and kindness. After many different trials and crises together, they finally reached Mt. Coronet, but they soon discovered that the cavern they have entered would not lead to the summit, and therefore had to continued their journey on to the eastern side of Sinnoh.

In [[Hearthome City]], Platinum decided to challenge a Super Contest. While Pearl helped Platinum practice, Diamond began cooking [[Poffin]]s. When Platinum was about to quit the contest due to her being attacked by the other participants, Diamond cheered her up with a piece of pie, which allowed her to continue and win.

Afterward, the trio was attacked by Platinum's true bodyguards, [[Paka and Uji]], who believed that Diamond and Pearl where kidnappers who had taken Platinum for ransom. Thankfully, they were saved by [[Fantina]], who took them to the [[Lost Tower]]. Once Fantina deemed it save for them to leave, the trio went to the [[Solaceon Ruins]], where they saved some Unown before heading back out on their journey.

In [[Veilstone City]], Diamond and Pearl met up with Paka and Uji for real and had their first true battle with [[Team Galactic]]. During this battle, Diamond's [[Wig]] and [[Pearl's Infernape|Pearl's Monferno]] both evolved and Platinum's true identity was revealed to the two boys by Paka and Uji. However, before her real bodyguards had a chance to meet and explain things to the girl, they were banished into [[Distortion World|another dimension]] by Saturn. Once this happened, Diamond confessed to Pearl that he knew Platinum wasn't a reality TV host from the beginning, but he had kept it to himself because the misunderstanding was the thing that created and held together their friendship. The two then took an oath that they would protect her and keep their real identities a secret.

Later, following a seperation from Pearl at Lake Valor, an adventure in the [[Great Marsh]] and Platinum's gym challenge i [[Pastoria City]], they met up with [[Cynthia]] at the [[Pokémon Mansion]], and she helped them clear the group of {{p|Psyduck}} that were blocking [[Route 210]]. They encountered Cyrus again in [[Celestic Town]] when the man broke into the ruins that held Sinnoh's legend of the three lakes. After the showdown with the man, in which Diamond and Pearl had a huge argument that had nearly cost them the victory, the trio ended up in Hearthome once again and Platinum challenged Fantina, who turned out to be the gym leader of the [[Hearthome Gym]].

After gaining a victory, the trio learned of Mr. Berlitz and Professor Rowan had disappeared. In order to find them, the trio went to [[Canalave City]], where they mistook [[Byron]] as Mr. Berlitz and Professor Rowan's kidnapper. During the battle between the young trio and Byron, Diamond befriended Byron's {{p|Shieldon}}. After realizing the whole thing was a misunderstanding, Platinum finally learned of Dia and Pearl's true identity, and was completely horrified by the shocking news. However, after a horrible night full of nightmares, she decided to keep the boys as her companions and they resumed their journey with the new goal to stop Team Galactic's evil plans.
[[‎Image:Diamond New Jacket.png|left|thumb|Diamond trying on his new jacket]]
The trio was then split up to defend the three lakes of [[Sinnoh]] and Diamond was assigned to go to [[Lake Verity]]. However, Byron didn't believe that Diamond was a strong enough battler and made him go through training with [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]]. During this, he learned to overcome his weakness in speed.

Soon, Diamond was back in Jubilife City, where he saved the President of the Poketch Company from wild {{p|Lickitung}}, which evolved into a {{p|Lickilicky}} during the battle and joined Diamond's team. Afterwards, he arrived in [[Sandgem Town]] accidentally found himself in the Berlitz's Mansion and was mistaken as a thief by Platinum's butler, Sebastian, but this was quickly taken care of and explained. Before resuming his quest towards Lake Verity, he fought off a swarm of {{p|Yanmega}} that was sent by Team Galactic to attack Professor Rowan's Science Lab.

Diamond then made one last detour and returned home to find some winter clothes that his mom bought him, finding a note left by his mom telling him that she heading to Lake Verity to get some [[Berry|berries]]. Upon reading that, Diamond realized that his mother was in danger and rushes out of his house to the nearby lake, where he find his mother being held hostage by Mars.

Diamond and his Mom fought off Mars and Diamond went airborne on {{p|Drifblim}}. However, after {{p|Mesprit}} was awakened, he followed Mars onto the Team Galactic Air Shuttle and found himself back in Veilstone City. There, he infiltrated the headquarters of Team Galactic and was soon reunited with Pearl and Platinum. They then save the [[Lake guardians]] by sacrificing their Pokédexes.

The newly reunited trio then regrouped with Cynthia and headed to the [[Spear Pillar]], where Diamond and Pearl split up with Platinum and Cynthia and time and space begins to distort. As the two boys began to fight {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, they were ambushed by Cyrus, who commended them from for trying to stop him.

This angered Diamond, who then verbally attacked Cyrus by stating what he believed Time and Space was. Cyrus then had Dialga and Palkia attack the boys but the man had troubles controlling them as one of the [[Red Chain]]s that had been used to control the Deities had been destroyed by the Gym Leaders. Platinum then returned and revealed that the way to defeat Cyrus was the power of balance and, when Cyrus' control over them wavered, the three released the Dragons from their constraints. The Dragons then used their powers to create a sphere that distort Cyrus within it. The three then celebrate with a fist bump.

'''Emerald''' (Japanese: '''エメラルド''' ''Emerald'') is the eleventh main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His origin is unknown, although {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

==Personality==
Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} and Todd while he is sleeping.

Emerald doesn't like Pokémon themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{adv|Crystal}}.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Sceptile}} got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with [[Berry|berries]] in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's [[Pokédex]] indicated that it evolved from [[Wally]]'s {{p|Grovyle}}. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

==Character history==
===Past===
As revealed at the end of the {{chap|Emerald}}, Emerald was one of the orphans that {{adv|Crystal}} was helping. He looked up to her and wanted a [[Pokédex]] of his own. [[Professor Oak]] did want to offer one to him at one point but he had declined due to his animosity towards Pokémon while in the Pokémon Academy. He spent his time roaming around Hoenn and met the [[Trick Master]], who gave him the gadgets that were inspired by a [[Fiore|faraway land]]. He also had a green gem that was used as a test to call out {{p|Rayquaza}}, but Emerald found the gem and it got attached to his forehead.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
He first appeared in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, having been brought there by {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. There he met [[Todd Snap|Todd]]. After he bound and gagged {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} and stole his {{p|Salamence}}, Emerald was about to be banned from the Frontier, until it was revealed that Emerald was attracting media attention. Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the [[Frontier Brain]]s and [[Scott]] eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the seven Brains within seven days.

Later on, Emerald's reason for visiting the Frontier is revealed: he was assigned by [[Professor Oak]] and Crystal to capture {{p|Jirachi}}. He attempted it the first time after his fight with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}} and was almost successful. However, after that, he went back to his original challenge.

==Pokémon==
This has been updated from the most recent chapter of the Battle Frontier Saga.

Emerald arrived just seconds after [[Professor Birch]] lost Treecko's Poké Ball in the waves. Treecko was eventually found by [[Wally]], and helped him to climb the [[Sky Pillar]] to awaken {{p|Rayquaza}}. While climbing, it evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}. When they reached the top, Rayquaza's power sent Grovyle flying out of the pillar, and it was lost again. After that, he became a rental Pokémon in the {{ho|Battle Factory}} (later revealed to have been smuggled there by [[Guile Hideout]] to drive the nosy reporters out). He went berserk after being stung by a {{m|Poison Sting}} and Emerald calmed it down, then he used it in the battle against {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}. After defeating Noland, Emerald took it upon realizing that it was no rental Pokémon (all Pokémon in the 50 course were of level 50 only, and Sceptile was 51). It was later proved that this Sceptile was the same lost Treecko when {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} went to the Battle Frontier and their starters, [[Zuzu]] and [[Toro]], recognized Sceptile.}}

==Trivia==
* Emerald is the only character named after a [[Version|third version]] in Pokémon Adventures that is male, as {{adv|Green}}{{tt|*|In Japan, Green is Blue, and the Blue Version was the ''third version'' of Generation I in Japan.}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} are all female.
* Emerald and Yellow are the only main characters of Pokémon Adventures not directly [[cross-canon counterparts|based on]] game characters, coincidentally named for third versions of odd-numbered generations. {{game|Yellow}} is, however, the ''fourth'' game of [[Generation I]] in Japan, with {{game|Blue}} being the third.
* {{p|Sudowoodo|Four}} {{p|Snorlax|Pokémon}} {{p|Mantine|owned}} {{p|Mr. Mime|by}} Emerald are also owned by [[Gold (Adventures)|other]] [[Red (Adventures)|Trainers]] [[Crystal (Adventures)|in]] Pokémon Adventures; notably, they also all received pre-evolutions in [[Generation IV]].
** All of the Pokémon listed also meet their counterparts at the end of the Emerald Arc. They all become acquainted and are seen lounging with each other.
** It should also be noted that {{adv|Gold}}'s {{p|Sudowoodo}} is a male, while Emerald's is a female. The only other time that two main characters of Pokémon Adventures had two [[Pika|Pokémon of the same]] [[Chuchu|species and opposite genders]] an egg was produced by the two.
* The [[Trick Master]] says his Soil Gun was based on a device he saw in a faraway land, which might refer to a [[Capture Styler]] that calms a Pokémon with circles.
* Emerald is the only Pokémon Adventures character whose first Pokémon was actually one of the starter Pokémon from the game series - or rather its evolution, Sceptile.
* Emerald's birthday is May 31.
** An emerald is the birthstone for those born in May.
* Emerald is the only Pokémon Adventures main character whose first Pokémon was set to be a starter Pokémon of the main series games.
** Emerald is also the only main character to lose his first Pokémon before actually obtaining it.
* Emerald and {{adv|Green}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}, they are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}. The only other two are {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Ruby}} who are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancers}}.

'''Sapphire Birch''' (Japanese: '''オダマキ・サファイア''' ''Sapphire Odamaki'') is the ninth main character of the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Her first two Pokémon are a {{p|Torchic}} and an {{p|Aron}}; she probably got them from her father, [[Professor Birch]].

Sapphire loves to {{pkmn|battle}} and is a tomboy; she has been seen swinging on vines through trees in an outfit made of leaves. However, she does have a feminine side, as she explains to {{adv|Ruby}} in volume 19. She is [[FranticShipping|in love]] with Ruby, yet, even after they both confess their feelings, she becomes annoyed at Ruby constantly avoiding the matter.

==Character history==
===Past===
[[Image:Young_sapphire.png|thumb|left|150px|Sapphire as a child]]
Sapphire was born in [[Littleroot Town]], [[Hoenn]]. Her father was [[Professor Birch]], who was a Pokémon Researcher. As a child, she was an average fancy girl but that changed when she met Ruby. The two had a lot of fun with each other, until their playdate was interrupted by a {{p|Salamence}}. Acting quickly, Ruby was able to knock it out with his [[Pokémon]]. At that time, Rayquaza was being held by the Pokémon Association near the place he and Sapphire were playing and was set free by the Salamence. Sapphire ran away crying, and later came to realize she ruined Ruby's dignity, and vowed to become stronger.

==={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
[[Image:Sapphire Vol 21.png|thumb|right|250px|Sapphire in the last R/S volume]]
Sapphire was introduced when she saved [[Ruby (Adventures)|Ruby]] from two wild {{p|Mightyena}}s. She was, at first, mistaken by Ruby as a wild animal because she wore leaves and started attacking him. This hostility escalated when she learned the two had contrasting goals. Soon, they agreed to settle their rivalry with an 80-day pact, in which Sapphire would conquer all 8 gyms in [[Hoenn]] while Ruby did the same for all contests.

In [[Rustboro City]], Sapphire rescued [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}} in a fountain, and chased after the SSS of Team Aqua. After that, she defeated [[Roxanne]] at the [[Rustboro Gym]]. After traveling to [[Dewford Island]] on Walo and training in the [[Granite Cave]], she deafeated [[Brawly]], before traveling with Ruby to the Abandoned Ship, where they met up with [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha|Mitch]] of [[Team Magma]].

After parting ways with the boy in [[Slateport City]], Sapphire stumbled upon [[New Mauville]], where she helped [[Wattson]] and the [[Trick Master]] settle the underground city's generators. Sapphire then headed to Mt. Chimney, where she teamed up with [[Flannery]] to stop Team Aqua from killing the volcano. However, they failed to do so, and Sapphire went to [[Fortree City]] on Pilo, her {{p|Tropius}}.
[[Image:Sapphire E.png|thumb|left|250px|Sapphire in the Emerald arc of the manga]]
Once there, Sapphire became [[Winona]]'s disciple after loosing to her in a gym battle. Soon, an emergency meeting of the gym leaders brought Ruby, who had become [[Wallace]]'s student, to Fortree. Unfortunately, the two had a fall out after Sapphire learned that Ruby had been hiding his true strength from her and the boy showed little care about Hoenn's fate. As the awakening of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} brought havoc to Hoenn, Sapphire went with Winona to fight, and learned, in the process, about the Seafloor Cavern.

Soon, Ruby finally decided to join the battle and, with the help of Sapphire and her [[Relicanth (Pokémon)|Relo]], went to the Seafloor Cavern. At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] but were horribly defeated. They were then taken to Mirage Island, where the trained and learned that they had absorbed the Blue and Red Orbs.

Just before leaving Mirage Island. Sapphire told a shocked Ruby that she liked him. Before Ruby could respond, they had to leave and he didn't get to tell her that he felt the same way until they reached [[Sootopolis City]], where he pushed Sapphire away in order to protect her. Ruby then left with Marge in order to fight against Maxie, Archie and the Ancient Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre.

Soon, Sapphire escaped the air car and came to the battlefield, where the two rivals charged up {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} and finally defeated Archie and Maxie. Ruby then used {{p|Celebi}} to restore peace.

The next day was the eightieth day of the bet and Sapphire had succeed in her goal of getting all of the badges in Hoenn. She then ran off into the sunset with Ruby to [[Littleroot Town]], where a party was awaiting for both of their birthdays.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
In the sixth chapter, {{Adv|Ruby}} and Sapphire traveled to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} to help save the other [[Pokédex holder]]s.

==Pokémon==
These are all of Sapphire's Pokémon as of Volume 21.

Toro teamed up with {{adv|Ruby}}'s [[Zuzu]] in a [[double battle]] against [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] at [[Seafloor Cavern]]. In the [[Emerald chapter (Adventures)|Emerald arc]], Toro was Sapphire's most used Pokémon in the numerous {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} and {{ho|Battle Tower}} battles, and she learned the ultimate fire attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, from [[Kimberly]]'s metal ring.

==Trivia==
* Like her {{ga|May|game counterpart}}, she is the only female rival in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
* She is the only female Pokémon Adventures character named after a [[generation]]'s second [[version]] ({{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Pearl}} are all male). Like them, however, she is the designated rival of the character with the name of the respective primary version, and based on the rival in the respective games.
** Likewise, she is the only Pokémon Adventures counterpart to a female player character not named for the third version ({{adv|Green}}, counterpart to {{ga|Leaf}}, after [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]]; {{adv|Crystal}}, counterpart to {{ga|Kris}}, after {{game|Crystal}}; {{adv|Platinum}}, counterpart to {{ga|Dawn}}, after {{game|Platinum}}).
* Sapphire is the only rival whose starter's type is disadvantaged against that of her own rival (her Torchic vs {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Mudkip}}). However, unlike other rivals in Adventures, which were all based on in-game rivals, Sapphire's game basis is also a player character.
* Sapphire is the only character to successfully earn every gym badge in her native region. {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Platinum}} challenge or challenged Gyms as well; however, although Red defeated every Gym Leader in [[Kanto]], he didn't earn every badge, and Platinum has yet to finish her journey. {{adv|Silver}} simply stole every Gym Badge from Johto at one point, but he didn't earn them through challenges.
* Sapphire's birthday is September 20th.
** A sapphire is the birthstone for those born in September.
* Sapphire's bloodtype is O.
* All of Sapphire's Pokémon mirror her gender, with the exception of Toro & Minun. The same goes for Ruby (with the exception of having also owned a {{p|Celebi|genderless Pokémon}}), with only his [[Zuzu|starter]] and {{p|Plusle|electric rodent}} the same gender as him.
* Even though in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire|s}} there was no [[version-exclusive]] look for {{ga|May}}, artwork of Sapphire shows a blue variation of her attire.
* Sapphire is one of three Pokédex holders to have a known last name; the other two are {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Platinum}}.

'''Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ルビー''' ''Ruby'') is the eighth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As a counterpart to {{adv|Sapphire}}, Ruby has a great passion for [[Pokémon Contest]]s. While he's an excellent battler, he only fights when necessary or when no one takes notice. He believes that Pokémon battles are barbaric, and get his Pokémon dirty—something that he hates.

His first Pokémon were {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, and {{p|Ralts}}, all given by his father [[Norman]]; his "starter" Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}} which he received from [[Professor Birch]].

Ruby has admitted to having a [[FranticShipping|crush]] on his rival Sapphire.

==Personality==
Ruby's extremely good at sewing and knitting. He makes clothes for all his Pokémon to wear, and even made Sapphire the clothes she wears for much of her adventures. He is shortsighted and wears contacts to correct his eyes as he is too vain to wear glasses. His other hobby is photography. He has a photo album of all of his Pokémon's biggest moments - such as evolutions or contest victories. He's not shy about showing it off, either. He's always lying to Sapphire about not being powerful enough, but then, his secret is revealed when he tries to save Sapphire from the Grumpig stampede.

Ruby can be quite shallow at times, putting too much emphasis on outward appearances. He even once kicked Mimi out of his party for not being beautiful enough. Recently, however, Mimi returned to Ruby and, after being mocked by [[Archie]] for being weak and ugly, Ruby declared that Mimi had inner beauty and it evolved into a Milotic.

==Character history==
===Past===
[[Image:Young_ruby.png|thumb|right|Ruby when he was younger]]
Ruby was born in [[Goldenrod City]], Johto. His father was [[Norman]], who was an aspiring gym leader. He met Sapphire once, and the young Ruby and Sapphire had a lot of fun with each other, until their fun was interrupted by a {{p|Salamence}}. Acting quickly, Ruby was able to knock it out with his [[Pokémon]], but got his forehead split open in the process. It was his fault that his father failed the Gym Leader Test because the Salamence broke into Rayquaza's containment area and set it free. At that time, Rayquaza was being held by the Pokémon Association near the place he and Sapphire were playing. Sapphire ran away crying, and later came to realize she ruined Ruby's dignity, and vowed to become stronger. Ruby, on the other hand, realized he had been too brutal, and promised to suppress his strength in battle.

==={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
[[Image:Ruby_RSchapter.png|thumb|left|250px|Ruby in the Ruby and Sapphire chapter]]
On his eleventh birthday, Ruby and his mother moved to [[Littleroot Town]], [[Hoenn]]. Ruby was displeased with this decision as he preferred [[Johto]]'s modern cities over Hoenn's rural countryside. After getting to the small town, Ruby ran away as he didn't want to face his father, who didn't approve of Ruby's hobby of Pokémon Contests. Just as he left the town, he met [[Professor Birch]], who was attacked by two {{p|Mightyena}}. Ruby refused to battle, stating his reason was because he didn't want his Pokémon dirty. Instead, he asked the two dark types to join him on his quest to conquer the contests of Hoenn. However, they started to chase him. Ruby still didn't fear him and instead picked up Birch's nearby Pokédex and used it to learn about Mightyena.

Amazed by the fact that the Mightyena were evolved, he sent out his [[Nana]], a {{p|Poochyena}}, and showed off her elegant moves against the stronger Pokémon. However, the attacks did no damage and Ruby and Birch were forced to run from the wild Pokémon. Due to the [[Running Shoes]] that had been given to him by his parents for his birthday, Ruby got ahead of Birch and fell off a cliff and was knocked unconscious. Fortunately, a mysterious Pokémon caught him and brought him into its cave.

Ruby was soon awakened by the lick of Nana. Upon waking up, he received a call on Professor Birch's [[Poké Gear]] from the researcher himself. Ruby explained where he was and Birch introduced himself formally. During the conversation, Ruby realized that Birch was a friend of his father but the man didn't know that the boy had ran away yet.

The Pokémon the noticed that Ruby was awake and spoke to him. Shocked, Ruby backed up in fear and Nana attacked it. The Pokémon then revealed itself to be a human girl. She attacked Nana with her {{p|Torchic}}. In order to help the boy, Birch told him to take out the {{type2|Water}} Pokémon {{p|Mudkip}} out of his bag. Ruby was disappointed by the lack of coolness and beauty in the Pokémon, but stated that it could be in a tough contest. Ruby refused to battle, which angered the girl. It was at that point that Birch realized that it was his daughter Sapphire that Ruby was fighting. As Birch explained this to Ruby, the reception between the two was lost. Moments later, the two children were attacked by a {{p|Seviper}}.

Ruby still refused to fight, forcing Sapphire to defeat the Tail Snake Pokémon all by herself. After this the two got into an argument over their interests, which made Sapphire ask Ruby to take a bet. The two would go on a journey and see who would reach their goals in 80 days. Ruby agreed and then Sapphire fainted from the damage that she received from the battle with the Mightyena. Realizing the girl was hurt, Ruby helped her and left her some new clothes. Before he left, the Seviper awakened, but Ruby released a mysterious light from a Poké Ball and the Seviper fell to the floor.

After leaving the cave, Ruby came to a bridge, where he showed his new Mudkip how to perform in a contest. When he had the Water type try for itself, they were attacked by a {{p|Dustox}}. He and his [[party]] ran away and Ruby noticed that he had accidentally forgotten to give back Birch's Pokédex. The machine then scanned the [[Bug type]] and Ruby learned that it was incredibly powerful. However, Mudkip saved them with his {{m|Water Gun}} and Ruby nicknamed it [[Zuzu]]. He then set off yet again.

The next day, Ruby arrived in [[Petalburg City]]. He headed through the city carefully so that he wouldn't be found by his father. However, he came across a sickly boy named [[Wally]], who had been attacked by a {{p|Nuzleaf}} while trying to catch a Pokémon. After receiving a complement from the other boy, Ruby quickly offered to try and catch a Pokémon for him. However, Ruby learned that his dad was coming to help Wally do the task!

Upon seeing his father come, Ruby grabbed Wally and jumped into a nearby bush. Wally, however, came out and asked Norman if he would help him catch a Pokémon but the gym leader said that he wouldn't because Wally was too ill to journey with one. Although his father nearly caught him, Ruby was able to stay hidden, but when he came out of hiding he found Wally unconscious on the ground.

Ruby took the sick boy home and that night the two left home and Ruby promised to let Wally use his {{p|Ralts|Ruru}} in order to catch a Pokémon. The two found a {{p|Kecleon}}, which Wally was determined to catch. Although Wally failed to catch it many times, Ruby stuck by him and was given a [[PokéNav]] as thanks. After Wally caught Kecleon, the area they were in was struck by an earthquake and Ruby fell into the sea. Thankfully though, he was saved by [[Mr. Briney]], who took him to [[Dewford Island]].

After arriving on Dewford, he once again met up with Sapphire and went into the [[Granite Cave]] in order to find the powerful, yet beautiful Water type Pokémon {{p|Milotic}}. However, he instead found a bunch of {{p|Mawile}}. He, however, was saved by [[Steven Stone]]. During the battle with the Mawile, Ruby's Nana and [[Coco]] evolved. After the battle, Ruby left the Island by riding Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Walo}}. One night, they stopped at the [[Abandoned Ship]] on [[Route 109]]. There, Ruby and Sapphire teamed up with a {{p|Plusle}} and a {{p|Minun}} to fight [[Team Magma]]. After this fight, the two trainers left the [[Electric type]]s behind.

Soon, Ruby was let off Walo at [[Slateport City]]. There, his Zuzu evolved into {{p|Marshtomp}}, which attracted the notice of the Hoenn [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], who took Ruby to the Contest Hall, where they made Poké Blocks with [[Captain Stern]] before being taken away by Team Magma, who was targeting Stern. Ruby fought against Mack in the S.S. Kaien 1 in order to free the Chairman and Stern.

After winning, he drifted away from Slateport and landed on [[Route 118]], where he caught a {{p|Feebas}} before being attacked by a {{p|Zangoose}} and a {{p|Seviper}}. Ruby and the Swimmer that he had befriended escaped into the [[Weather Institute]], where Ruby was found by Norman.

[[Image:Norman saving Ruby.png|thumb|right|Ruby being saved by Norman]]
The father and son had a showdown between the two, which resulted in Ruby falling off the Weather Institute but was saved by Norman, who gave Ruby permission to participate in contests. Overjoyed, Ruby headed off with [[Gabby & Ty|Maryann and Tyler]], a pair of interviewers who had witnessed the battle between Ruby and his father, to [[Verdanturf Town]]. There, he participated in, and won, all of the normal rank contests. After winning he spotted Wally in the crowd and chased after him, only to find out it was not Wally, but his cousin [[Wanda]].

Soon, Ruby, Tyler and Maryann heard of a riot caused by {{p|Whismur}}. They went to the [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to investigate and fought against Team Magma's [[Marge]]. After a long battle, Ruby and his two new comrades headed towards [[Fallarbor Town]].

Upon arriving in the small, Ruby immediately entered the Tough, Cool, Cute and Smart categories of the Super Rank contests. However, he was too late to enter the Beauty category and was forced to watch. During the Beauty category, he fell in love with [[Wallace]]'s performance and, afterward, asked the older man to be his master. Although Wallace originally refused, he changed his mind after witnessing Ruby battle. The two then headed for [[Fortree City]], where Wallace was to meet up with the other gym leaders.

After arriving in the city, Ruby meet up with Sapphire again and battled against a group of {{p|Grumpig}}, during witch Sapphire realized that Ruby wasn't as weak as he claimed to be. This lead to the biggest argument between the two and Sapphire telling Ruby that she never wanted to see him again.

Due to this argument, Ruby ran from Fortree and went to the flooded Slateport City and participating in all the Hyper Rank contests. He won all of them too, but lost to Wallace in the beauty category, which lead to Ruby telling [[Mimi]] that she was ugly after which Mimi ran away from Ruby, who cried himself unconscious.

[[Image:Ruby Vol 22.png|thumb|250px|left|Ruby in the last R/S chapter volume]]When he awoke, he was feeling bad about what he had done when he saw Sapphire on TV, along with her new {{p|Relicanth}}, which he recognized as the Pokémon that Mr. Briney said could [[dive]] deep into the sea. Realizing that he was the only one who knew this, Ruby left the first aid station and saved a blind boy's {{p|Magikarp}} that he had initially thought was Mimi. The boy then made Ruby realize that he should help out in the crisis that was happening in Hoenn and Ruby then sent a letter to Wallace stating that he would fight against the Ancient Pokémon.

Wallace drove Ruby in his air car to Sapphire's location. He then explained to everyone that Relicanth could take him and Sapphire to the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. They then dived under the sea together, their goal to defeat Maxie and Archie.

At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against Maxie and Archie but were horribly defeated. They were then taken to Mirage Island, where the trained and learned that they had absorbed the Blue and Red Orbs.

[[Image:Rubynohat.png|thumb|right|Ruby, without his hat, confessing his feelings for {{Adv|Sapphire}}]]
Just before leaving Mirage Island, Sapphire told a shocked Ruby that she liked him. Before Ruby could respond, they had to leave and he didn't get to tell that he felt the same way until they reached [[Sootopolis City]], where he pushed Sapphire away in order to protect her. Ruby then left with Marge in order to fight against Maxie, Archie, and the Ancient Pokémon {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

After Marge's death, Ruby reunited with Mimi, who then evolved into a {{p|Milotic}}. Sapphire then came to the battle field and the two rivals charged up {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} and finally defeated Archie and Maxie. Ruby then used Celebi to restore peace.

The next day was the eightieth day of the bet and Ruby had succeed in his goal of getting all of the ribbons in Hoenn. He then ran off into the sunset with Sapphire to Littleroot Town, where a party was awaiting them.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[Image:Ruby E.PNG|thumb|left|250px|Ruby in the Emerald arc of the manga]]
Almost a year later, Ruby, along with {{Adv|Sapphire}}, was sent to the Battle Frontier by [[Professor Birch]] to help out the third [[Pokédex holder]] {{Adv|Emerald}} in his quest to save {{p|Jirachi}} from [[Guile Hideout]]. They first met up with the boy at the Battle Dome but it soon became clear that he resented them. So, in order to get to know Emerald, the two entered the Battle Dome tournament. Ruby fought Emerald in the semi-finals but lost. He did however help [[Emerald's Sceptile]] regain its memories of its past with [[Professor Birch]]. He and Sapphire were then kicked out of the Battle Dome by Emerald.

Outside, the two ran into [[Palace Maven Spenser]], who recognized Sapphire as a person who had held the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Blue Orb}}. Ruby found this odd and recorded this encounter with the power of the Memory Lighter that he had been given from Marge. After Guile Hideout captured Jirachi, Ruby and Sapphire teamed up with [[Noland]] and Emerald and challenged the Battle Tower as a four man team.

On the top floor, the team found [[Anabel]] brainwashed and under the control of Guile Hideout. With the use of {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} shared sight ability, Spenser informed the trio of Pokédex Holders that Guile had touched the Blue Orb, forcing Guile to reveal his true identity as [[Archie]]. After Archie summoned the Great Sea Beast to flood the Battle Frontier, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald where joined by {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Gold}}, who revealed that Ruby and Sapphire needed Jirachi to revive their senior Pokédex Holders {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}} and {{adv|Silver}}, who had all been petrified by a beam that was meant for {{p|Deoxys}} at the end of the {{chap|FireRed and LeafGreen}}.

After Emerald was able to awaken the older Pokédex Holders from their petrification, Ruby used Zuzu's newly learned [[Hydro Cannon]] attack to destroy the sea beast. After the battle was over, Ruby participated in a tournament between all ten Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost.

He released her after she lost a Contest in [[Slateport City]]. Mimi later went all the way to Sootopolis City in order to reunite with Ruby. She was then hurt and humiliated by [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] who said such ugly creatures didn't deserve to exist, but Ruby realized Mimi's inner beauty was greater than any external beauty and, after receiving the Beauty Contest Hyper Rank Ribbon from [[Wallace]], gave it to Mimi, along with her own contest call.

[[Image:Ruby Running Shoes.png|thumb|left|Ruby using his running shoes]]
Besides necessities, Ruby also has a "Makeup Box" and "Sewing Box" in his backpack, for his contest appearances. Ruby has a pair of [[Running Shoes]] made by the [[Devon Corporation]] which he received from his father for his eleventh birthday. They're extremely powerful and useful, and propel Ruby along the ground with bursts of compressed air.

Ruby's eyes are {{wp|Myopia|myopic}}, and he has a pair of glasses to correct this. He's usually too vain to wear them, though.

==Trivia==
* Ruby is the first main character whose starter Pokémon has a type advantage over that of his rival (his Mudkip vs {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Torchic}}). This is, of course, possibly due to both Ruby and Sapphire being based on in-game player characters, one of which ends up as the rival, depending on the player's choice of gender.
* Ruby's birthday is July 2nd.
** A ruby is the birthstone for those born in July.
* Ruby's blood type is O.
* All of Ruby's Pokémon mirror his gender, with the exception of Zuzu, Plusle, and Celebi, the latter being a genderless species. The same goes for {{adv|Sapphire}} (with the exception of a genderless Pokémon), with only her [[Toro|starter]] and {{p|Minun|electric rodent}} the same gender as her.
* Ruby's only Pokémon that hasn't fully evolved is Ruru, with the others either being fully evolved or unable to evolve at all.
* All of Ruby's [[Pokémon]] have nicknames in which the first two letters are repeated.
* Ruby and {{adv|Gold}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}, they are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancer}}. The only other two are {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Emerald}} who are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}.

'''Green''' (Japanese: '''ブルー''' ''Blue'') is the third main character of the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Her first [[Pokémon]] was a {{p|Jigglypuff}}. As a young child, she was kidnapped by {{p|Ho-Oh}} and raised by the evil [[Masked Man]], where she met and became close with {{adv|Silver}}. (This kidnapping led to her {{wp|ornithophobia}}, which is not cured until the end of the GSC Saga.) The two of them escaped, and Green went to [[Kanto]], where she stole [[Professor Oak]]'s {{p|Squirtle}}.

Green is quite cunning and quick-witted. She can talk others into believing a bold-faced lie and talk her way out of many tight situations. At one point, she convinces {{adv|Red}} to buy a bunch of useless items for [[Pika|his Pikachu]]. Green is also a master of disguise, she uses her {{p|Ditto}} as a mask and is able to make herself look like anyone she wants.

Green's special skill, as defined by Professor Oak, is [[evolution|evolving]]; she is known as the '''"Evolver'''" (化える者 ''Evolver''). However, until recently she refrained from evolving her Pokémon, because she preferred to lull her opponents into a false sense of security by using unevolved "cute" Pokémon. The special skills of Green and Silver are homophonous in Japanese.

The original Green was designed after the early sketches for a [[Lass]] and [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|a female protagonist]] shown in early concept art for {{game|Red and Green|s}}; however, the idea of choosing the character's gender was unable to be implemented until {{game|Crystal}} due to technological limitations of the time. When {{ga|Leaf}} finally appeared in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Green changed her clothes to match.

==Character history==
===Background===
When she was only five years old, Green was kidnapped by Ho-Oh, under control of the Masked Man. The Masked Man gave her a Jigglypuff and began to train her as one of his underlings. There, she met {{adv|Silver}} and developed a close bond with him. A few years later, the two children escaped from the Masked Man Hideout and then parted ways.

==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Green Adventures RGB.png|thumb|right|Green's original design]]
[[File:Manga Special Blue.png|thumb|left|Green in the first chapter]]
Green first met Red and tried to scam him out of his money by selling fake items by using her beauty and flattery. Red hunted her down to reclaim his money, but she used this opportunity to steal his [[badge]]s. Then Red learned that her Squirtle was stolen from Professor Oak and had evolved into a Wartortle. She is then seen surrounded by a group of [[Team Rocket]] members, revealed to have stolen some chip involving {{p|Mew}}. She sends out [[Ditty]] and in the confusion of Red saving her from an opponent's {{p|Tauros}}, she was able to switch Ditty as the Tauros and make the opponent's Pokémon defeat themselves thanks to that Tauros' special ability. It was then revelaed that she wants to catch Mew because she thinks that it is "the cutest Pokémon ever". Later it is found out that she really just wants it for money and when the two of them go hunting for Mew, she has Ditty {{m|Transform}} into Mew to fool the pursuing Team Rocket, although they really figure out the hoax and in the ensuring battle Mew gets away. Green then leaves saying that she plans on selling pictures of Mew she took to newspapers, but she does give back Red his badges.

She is later seen trying to sweet-talk her way into [[Saffron City]]. After failing, she tries to infiltrate from the air with her {{p|Jigglypuff}}. She then spots {{Adv|Blue}} and tells him about the barrier and later suggests that they team up. She then gets Red and Blue to team up so they can do all of the work for her getting into Saffron City, which they succeed in doing. She then slipped through the back door of Silph Co. and was able to glide right up to the 3F, where she encountered [[Sabrina]] and had to deal with her playing mind games. She later gets away from her by concealing Poké Balls on her chest and make Sabrina have Kadabra slash them off her chest, sending out Jigglypuff which used {{m|Sing}} to freeze Sabrina in her place. She than uses [[Ditty]] to disguise herself as Sabrina and reachs the room with the Badge Energy Amplifier and is almost attacked by Red. She then reveals that she frisked a Marsh Badge and traded it to Blue for his Moon Stone. She then takes the Amplifier from Red after it not working with his badges, revealing that the badges she "returned to him" were actually fake and that she kept the real ones. She then puts all of the badges into the Amplifier and made [[Zapmolcuno]] form accidently, thinking that it was supposed to make a rare new species of Pokémon. She was knocked out during the battle between her, Red, and Blue against Zapmolcuno but Red takes the Moon Stone and evolved her Clefairy into a Clefable. After a long fight Zapmolcuno was defeated by the combined forces of [[Blasty]], [[Blue's Charizard]], and the newly evolved [[Saur]].

Afterwards, she manages to get into the 9th Pokémon League tournament without badges by making it through special qualifying elimination rounds. Green makes it to fourth place, but is defeated by Professor Oak, who uses her fear of birds against her by using a team of Flying-type Pokémon to defeat her. He then reveals to her that he knew of reports and saw pictures of a girl who got kidnapped in Pallet Town by a bird Pokémon and when he saw the same face stealing a {{p|Squirtle}} he knew he had to talk to her and remind her that stealing is wrong. She confesses to Professor Oak who forgives her for stealing Squirtle and gives her the last [[Pokédex]]. She has ornithophobia and is afraid of {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon because of her kidnapping.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
Green is first seen in the shadows listning to the battle between Yellow and Lorelei, calling Yellow an idiot when she told Lorelei her name, something Green said not to do. She is then seen attacking Lorelei's hand with one of horsea's attacks after Yellow and Bill escaped her and Lorelei was just about to give chase again. She then disappears.

Green trains {{adv|Yellow}} and gives Yellow her boy disguise, bugging her hat in the process so she could be tracked and heard, and sends her off to save Red. She believes the Elite Four were controlling Ho-Oh after hearing it from {{adv|Silver}}, so carries a grudge against them. She then journies to Bill to take a look at his transport system and look at {{adv|Red}}'s recent withdrawls. With Pika gone from his party Green knew he would want to replace it with another Pokémon and after Bill begrudgingly allowed it after she tied him up she saw that Red did so and withdrew [[Vui]], but before she could find out the [[Pokémon Center]] where the transaction took place, Bruno's {{p|Hitmonlee}} came in and smashed the transporter. After chasing it for a while Hitmonlee was defeated only for them to realize that it was simply a decoy to keep them away from Lance in Vermilion City.

Once she reaches Cerise Island she meets up with Yellow and they stealthily navigate the island by having Jigglypuff fly them across shrouded in Horsea's Smokescreen. Once the map Yellow obtained was eaten by a Slowbro they followed it to a cave and found Blaine, Blue, Koga, Sabrina, and Lt. Surge. When Sabrina's [[Spoons of Destiny]] chose partners Green found herself paired up with Sabrina. She battles [[Lorelei]] and she uses her ice voodoo dolls to chain Green and Sabrina together, and since they did not work together well at all, Green was quickly knocked out and Sabrina found herself carrying dead weight. After Sabrina stalls for a while Green wakes up just in time to have Blasty propel them up so they wouldn't fall off a cliff. Lorelei then tells her that she attacked Green first because of the humiliation that Green caused her when she first battled Yellow and Green recalled her tale of training Yellow, using it as a scapegoat to have her Clefable use minimize to get the dolls and then had Blasty blast them, separating her arm from her body. In truth this was really just Ditto (explaining why she didn't have wounds from the ice cuffs like Red and Sabrina endured), which had been her arm all along and had Ditto tie up Lorelei from behind. This angered Sabrina, who could've gotten out of the ice cuffs and not be carrying Green around the whole battle.

However, she eventually learns she was wrong about Ho-Oh and that it was Lugia instead and resolves to return to [[Johto]].

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
Green reappears late in the storyline, when her relationship with Silver is disclosed. She and Silver escaped from the Masked Man, who used Ho-Oh and {{p|Lugia}} to kidnap her along with [[Will]], [[Chermaine]], [[Karen]], and [[Keane]] to be his servants. Green confronts Ho-Oh and finally overcomes her ornithophobia, and uses the [[legendary birds]] to help defeat the Masked Man.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
More of Green's past is revealed in this chapter including how she, along with {{adv|Silver}} [[PS268|managed to escape]] from the clutches of the [[Masked Man]]. She finally learns that her parents have moved to the [[Sevii Islands]] and resolves to reunite with them. Before she can, both they and Professor Oak are kidnapped by {{p|Deoxys}}. Here, her Pokémon finally evolve to their final stages and her Blastoise learns the legendary {{type2|Water}} move - {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. At the end of this saga, she was turned to stone along with four other [[Pokédex holder]]s.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
For most part of this chapter, she, along with four other Pokédex-holders, remained turned into stones. It was only at nearly the end of the chapter that she and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}. In the tourney that included all of the Pokédex-holders, it is said that she won her first match, which was against {{adv|Crystal}} but it is not said how the other battles went.

==Pokémon==
Most of Green's Pokémon nicknames, with the exception of Puriri, contain syllables from the species' Japanese name, followed by a Japanese honorific. "Puriri" comes from Jigglypuff's Japanese name, Purin.

==Trivia==
* Green's Pokémon were unnamed in Viz's American translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Their English nicknames were first used in Chuang Yi's translations of [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)|Sevii Island Arc]]. Surprisingly, her {{p|Jigglypuff}} didn't get an English nickname. This was later attributed to a memory of the Masked Man telling her not to nickname it when she was very young.
* Before official nicknames of Green's Pokémon were released, [[Serebii.net#Staff|Coronis]] coined his own, which were often seen used by fandom. Coincidentally, Chuang Yi's nicknames were almost the same as Coronis's ones (except Blastoise and Jigglypuff).
* Her {{p|Snubbull}} (now a {{p|Granbull}}) got a gender change. In Volume 15 he's listed as male, while in Volume 24 she's listed as female.
* Green and {{adv|Blue}} are the only main Pokémon Adventures characters whose names were changed for the English translation. This is due to the complexity of [[Generation I]]'s game releases, where in Japan, Red Version was paired with Green Version (leaving Blue as the third), and in the rest of the world Red was paired with Blue (while there was no Green). Since she was not {{adv|Red}}'s rival, the translators did not see it fitting that she have her name be that of Red's "rival version". This name change is present in both the VIZ Media and Chuang Yi translations.
** A panel in the original VIZ printing of [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|volume 3]] forgets to make this change, however. When the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and Green is identified as "BLUE". This error was still present in the "[[The Best of Pokémon Adventures#Red volume|Best of Pokémon Adventures]]" compilation volume, but was corrected for the 2009 second edition.
* Green is the only one of the original seven Pokédex holders that doesn't have any unevolved Pokémon on hand.
* Green is the oldest main character in Pokémon Adventures, having her birthday June 1st while Red and Blue's birthdays come August 8th and November 22nd.
* Green and {{adv|Emerald}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}, they are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}. The only other two are {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Ruby}} who are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancers}}.

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') is the second main character of the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is the grandson of [[Professor Oak]].

Blue debuts in the first round of the manga, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' where he and his rival {{adv|Red}} see a {{p|Mew}} in a [[Pallet Town]] forest. His first [[Pokémon]] was a {{p|Scyther}} -- he is shown with one when he was a child. When he was young, he trained in [[Johto]] under [[Chuck]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cianwood City]].

Blue's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is [[Pokémon training]] -- that is, leveling them up and making them strong, and as such is referred to as the '''"{{pkmn|Trainer}}"''' (Japanese: 育てる者 ''Trainer'').

Blue has a serious, calm, and focused personality in everything he does. Although Red and Blue were once bothered by each other because their personalities are so opposite, they ended up resolving their differences.

Blue and his Scyther were trained by Chuck of Cianwood City when he was a child. Thus, Blue has some cursory knowledge of martial arts, and his Scyther knew [[Generation II]] techniques.

Blue also has a rivalry with [[Koga]] of [[Team Rocket]]. This began when Blue almost killed Koga's {{p|Arbok}} by having his {{p|Charmeleon}} {{m|cut}} it in two, and continued on throughout the series until Koga's reclusion.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Blue Adventures RGB.png|thumb|110px|right|Blue's original design]]
[[File:PABlue.jpg|thumb|left|Blue in the first chapter]]

Blue was first seen by Red when he was battling a Mew with his Charmander, only to recall it after he thought it was too strong for him. This angered Red to a point that he decided to challenge Mew himself, only to be quickly defeated. Blue then told Red that he needs to know when he's outmatched and leaves. He then encounters Blue again who is attacking any Pokémon he sees to tell if they are worthy of catching, accidentally hitting Red's [[Poli]] in the process, but eventually the Pokémon he wanted to capture in the first place appeared, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, however it got away after Red healed the baby Kangaskhan who had been poisoned by a Poison-type Pokémon. It is this incident where a rivalry develops between these two. He is next seen in Pewter City with intent on challenging Brock and is later seen battling him with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}}. He then goes to the Pokémon Tower after meeting Mr. Fuji, only to be caught under the control of the {{p|Gastly}}, until Red defeats them and frees him. The two of them eventually runs into [[Koga]], who has been controlling the Gastly this whole time, however Blue eventually has his Charmeleon cut Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, making Koga swear a personal vendetta against him.

During the course of their adventures, Red and Blue accidentally traded Pokémon, including his new {{p|Porygon}}, which the man at the front desk of the Game Corner said would be very difficult to train since he didn't catch it himself. This caused Blue's {{p|Machoke}} to evolve, and Blue took the opportunity to teach Red's Pokémon more exotic, varied, and useful moves. Red's training on Blue's Pokémon made them more playful and lighthearted, something that greatly annoyed Blue.

After he unsuccessfully tries to enter Saffron City he returns to Pallet Town to tell Red about the barrier and how he believes from a picture he too depicting several Team Rocket together that Saffron City is their hideout, and Blue in turn learns that his grandfather is missing. He then tells Red that since it is his grandfather that is missing, that he is the only one to save him and wants him to back off, although Green finally convinces the two of them to work together. They get separated in Silph Co. and ends up running into Koga on 2F, who instead of allowing Blue to reach his Poké Balls, subdues him with his {{p|Muk}}. He tells Blue that rather than kill him on the spot, he wants to use him to get his grandfather to cooperate with them, to which he refuses. He then takes a Razor Wind to the chest and is seemingly rendered incapable of moving. When Red appears after defeating [[Lt. Surge]] Koga traps him to, having Blue reveal that he was really wearing a reflective pendant given to him by Oak and that allowed him to have his Pidgeot attack Koga before he could kill both of them. Koga then calls his {{p|Articuno}} and freezes the two of them, only for Koga to realize that Blue previously called out his Charizard to keep the room warm enough for them to melt and Koga was then subsequently defeated. Green then took Koga's Soul Badge and gave it to Red. They split up after that, Red to help Green, and Blue to save his grandfather, who was trapped in the basement, which he found out using Koga's Golbat. He finds his grandpa and realizes that all of the people from [[Pallet Town]] are tied up just a floor below them. He comes back in order to help Red and Green fight Sabrina and [[Zapmolcuno]] and after Red's [[Saur]] evolves and Green's Clefairy evolves into a Clefable, they defeat Sabrina and Zapmolcuno is split.

At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament, Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] barely defeats Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. This tames their rivalry as the two finally begin to respect each other, and begin to become friendly rivals.

Blue's cockiness becomes subdued as the story continues, and his personality becomes less mocking and more aloof and quiet. He is also able to rely on instinct more and constantly adapt his strategy. He often becomes flummoxed by {{adv|Green}}'s hyperactive meddling in everyone's affairs.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
In the Yellow Saga, Blue is first seen defeating a Gastly that all of the good Gym Leaders and Yellow were fighting. He then reveals that it had belonged to [[Agatha]] whom he had battle previously at the [[Power Plant]] due to the grudge she has toward his grandfather. He then says that he had cut off all contact with him just so nobody could listen in. Before he leaves Yellow wishes to train with him, which he allows.

Then he recalls to Yellow the time when he battled against Agatha. It was back during the time of the first chapter when Red was battling Giovanni. Blue had just caught a Lapras that another boy named Bozz was eyeing because he wanted a strong pokémon so he could enter the Power Plant to save his Haunter which disappeared into there. He talked to his grandfather and he had heard similar rumors so Blue decided to investigate. He defeated several Magneton along the way before he finally encountered Agatha. After Bozz let it slip that Blue was Oak's grandson she decided to destroy him instead of toy with him like she had planned initially. She had her Gengar use Hypnosis on him and then use Dream Eater to drain his power. His dream was of when he was training with Chuck and he made him do things without the help of his Pokémon and after he complained, Chuck made him realize that not only must a Pokémon be strong to defeat an opponent, but so must a trainer. He then has his Golduck transfer his thoughts into his Pokédex for Bozz to read and have him learn the same lesson, so he could rescue his Haunter which was in Poké Ball behind Agatha so its attack would disrupt Gengar's Dream Eater. This plan works and after Blue escapes, Agatha disappears before he could get any answers on how she knows his grandfather.

He tutors {{adv|Yellow}} in more intense strategies for {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is during this training that Blue learns that Yellow doesn't know the basics of Pokémon. All of her Pokémon were given to her, she didn't know what moves [[Ratty]] knew and cried when it evolved since she didn't think it was Ratty anymore, and couldn't catch a simple {{p|Caterpie}} because she didn't want to hurt it so Blue had to catch it for her. He later teamed up with Yellow to defeat an entire pack of Mankey but when it became clear that Yellow could not defeat the leading Primeape he took it upon itself to defeat it with his Porygon. Yellow then goes off to continue training on her own.

He then appears to Blaine at Cerise Island and the two of them try to take on the Elite Four, only for them to run into the three Rocet Admins, [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]].

Later, he is paired up with Koga by Sabrina's Spoons of Destiny. Before he finds an opponent he returns Golbat to Koga which he had kept with him ever since the incident at Silph Co. The pair of them fight [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] once again. During the battle he and Koga are separated and he is forced to use Koga's Golbat once again after he is blinded by Agatha's Haunter's {{m|Lick}}, forcing him to have Golbat use echolocation to realize that there was another Golbat coming at him. After a while of evading the Golbat Koga started throwing shuriken balls containing Paralyze Heals, one of which got to Blue and he was able to rejoin the battle, and defeat Agatha. Although it turns out that Agatha wasn't really defeated and was actually having her Gengar become Koga and Blue's shadow and was slowly sucking the life out of them and due to Koga's quick loss of blood Gengar was able to get away with this for a moderate time. They figured it out, however, and it was defeated.

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
Blue comes to take on the role of the [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader after Red is forced to turn it down. He captures several powerful Pokémon that were enraged by the Pokémon March Radio song that was accidently being played by the Pokémon Association. While he was initially turned down because he wasn't qualified but after he caught the rampaging Pokémon and was able to locate the cause, he was given the job. He then informs Red of how to heal his wounds that Lorelei's ice cuffs created, and gave him his [[Green's Charizard|his Charizard]] to help him make it there easier. He assists in the final battle with the [[Masked Man]].

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
Blue and Red go to Professor Oak's lab at the professor's request. They don't see the professor but find a note that tells them to return the Pokédexes. As they leave they are attacked by a mysterious [[Pokémon]]. They decide to go to the [[Sevii Islands]]. He and Red go through a series of tests given to them by [[Kimberly]] to obtain the ultimate attacks, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Blue teaches the legendary {{type2|Fire}} move Blast Burn to his Charizard. After meeting up with Elite Four member, [[Lorelei]], they split up to defend the Sevii Islands from Team Rocket. Blue fights with [[Orm]] of [[The Three Beasts]] and his {{p|Shuckle}}, learning that Team Rocket kidnapped his grandfather. After saving Prof. Oak, he traveled back to Kanto, and helped stop the Team Rocket airship from crashing into [[Vermilion City]]. He was turned into stone soon afterwards by an energy explosion.

He, along with the other four who were turned to stone, were shipped to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in a box to be revived.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
For the most part of this chapter, he, along with four other Pokédex-holders, remained turned into stone. It was only at nearly the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}.

Because the bonus snippets of Volume 6 shows that Blue has registered 126 Pokémon by the time he battles Agatha, it can be assumed that Blue has caught many more that have yet to be shown or added to his teams.

==Trivia==
*Blue and {{adv|Green}} are the only main Pokémon Adventures characters whose names were changed for the English translation. This is due to the complexity of [[Generation I]]'s game releases, where in Japan, Red Version was paired with Green Version (leaving Blue as the third), and in the rest of the world Red was paired with Blue (while there was no Green). This name change is present in both the [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]] translations. His {{ga|Blue|game counterpart}} is also named Blue in the English translation of [[Generation II]]'s games.
** A panel in the original VIZ printing of [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|volume 3]] forgets to make this change, however. When the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and {{adv|Green}} is identified as "BLUE". This error was still present in the "[[The Best of Pokémon Adventures#Red volume|Best of Pokémon Adventures]]" compilation volume, but was corrected for the 2009 second edition.
* Although {{adv|Silver}} is the Pokédex holder whose special skill is Pokémon trading, Blue tops out the roster amongst the Dex Holders with four Pokémon that have evolved via trade. They are his Alakazam, Porygon2, Scizor, and Machamp. Additionally, both his Rhydon and Porygon2 are capable of evolving another time with trade, and he has personally asked of Silver to research on the matter as he found out Rhydon could evolve a second time in Giovanni's book ''The Mysteries of the Earth''. Meanwhile, the most Pokémon evolving via trade owned by other protagonists are one Pokémon. Gold's [[Poltaro|Politoed]], Silver's {{p|Kingdra}}, and Yellow's {{p|Golem}}.
*Both the Japanese and Chinese print show that [[Professor Oak]] is Blue's paternal grandfather.
*Blue is one of three Pokédex holders to have known a surname; the other two are {{adv|Sapphire}} and {{adv|Platinum}}. Coincidentally, all three are related to someone involved in the field of Pokémon research. Blue to [[Professor Oak]], Sapphire to [[Professor Birch]], and Platinum to the assistant of [[Professor Rowan]]. Out of the three, Blue is the only male, and a grandchild rather than a daughter like the other two.
*Blue's birthday is November 22nd.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the first main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His first [[Pokémon]] was a [[Poli]]wag, which [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story.

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to {{pkmn|battle}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{adv|Blue}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.

Red's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the '''"Fighter"''' (戦う者 ''Fighter'').

In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the [[Pokédex holder]]s, second only to [[Professor Oak]].

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[‎Image:Pokémon_Adventures_Red_3.40.PNG|left|thumb|100px|Red in the first chapter]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red was first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mentioned [[Professor Oak]] and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they left. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander|Charizard}}. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see [[Professor Oak]].

Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's [[Poké Ball]]s are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for one last Pokémon - the same {{p|Bulbasaur}} from earlier, which he eventually finds in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}. Red then figures out how to use {{m|SolarBeam}} on his own, impressing Oak to the point of giving him a [[Pokédex]] and [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to keep. He is then sent along by Professor Oak to capture as many Pokémon as he can, and encounters Blue again in the [[Viridian Forest]]. The two boys fight over a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a [[rival]]ry with him.

Red later manages to catch a menacing [[Pika]]chu that was destroying industry in [[Pewter City]]. He then runs into {{Adv|Blue}} again, learns of the {{badge|Boulder}} and decides to challenge [[Brock]] and earn Gym Badges. After blowing through the preliminaries with [[Saur]] and [[Poli]] Red realizes that he needs his newly caught Pikachu to beat [[Brock's Onix]]. After a rocky first part of the match, Red earns Pikachu's trust and he defeats Brock. He later encounters [[Misty]] and [[Gyara|her Gyarados]] which had been stolen and went into an intense rage, horribly injuring Misty and her {{p|Staryu}} in the process. After re-capturing the {{p|Gyarados}} for Misty, Red learns about [[Team Rocket]] through Misty and Oak, and sets off to [[Mt. Moon]] after them with Misty. They win a battle against Team Rocket even after the admin [[Koga]] uses an injection to make his {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolve into a {{p|Rhydon}}. While staying in [[Misty]]'s mansion, Misty whoops Red to make him see that they need to be stronger if they want to defeat Team Rocket. After several days of training, he defeats her and wins the {{badge|Cascade}}.

After stowing away and getting kicked off the [[S.S. Anne]], Red meets the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], learning from him that his {{p|Abra}}, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, [[Lt. Surge]]. Lt. Surge, another one of [[Team Rocket]]'s admins, throws Red and [[Poli]] overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, saving Red from drowning.

Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a {{p|Snorlax}}. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the Snorlax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] to rescue {{Adv|Blue}} who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a {{p|Gastly}} owned by [[Koga]]. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.

[[File:Red Special RGB.png|right|thumb|Red, [[Pika]], [[Saur]], and [[Poli]] in the first chapter]]
Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called {{adv|Green}}. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two badges, the {{badge|Boulder}} and the {{badge|Cascade}}, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen {{p|Squirtle}} mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into {{p|Wartortle}}. He infiltrates [[Team Rocket]] to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about {{p|Mew}}. Even after everything {{Adv|Green}} did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but but not before leaving Red's badges entrusted in his pocket.

Red then accidentally gets his Pokémon swapped with {{Adv|Blue}} near [[Celadon City]]. When he tries to battle with them they refuse to obey him, but later he decides to play with them while Blue trains Red's Pokémon with more exotic and useful moves. Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.

Red then goes to [[Erika]] and challenges her, but she first requires that he proves himself by catching an {{p|Eevee}}. Eventually, with [[Bill]]'s help, Red finds and catches [[Vui|a strange Eevee]] with the ability to swap between any of its evolved forms, due to a special device implemented in its ear. He then goes to find Erika and asks why Eevee is like this, and challenges her to a gym battle. Erika easily defeats Red, and says that she will kill Eevee due to its deformity. Once Red uses [[Pika]] to protect Eevee, Erika reveals that it was simply a test and the real people that made Eevee like this were [[Team Rocket]].

Red next visits the {{ka|Safari Zone}} in [[Fuchsia City]], and although he isn't supposed to do anything except watch, he smuggles in a [[Poké Ball]] and catches a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, angering two {{p|Nidoking}} that were fighting over her. He manages to escape them but is then taken by a {{p|Victreebel}} to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Weepinbell}}. He gets away from them only to run into the Nidoking again, resulting in a fight between Nidoking and the Victreebel. Red uses this to catch both Pokémon, and catches many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden.

He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss [[Giovanni]], whom he believes is just a researcher, get some [[fossil]]s and get to [[Pewter City]] through [[Diglett's Cave]], only to see that Pewter Museum of Science is set ablaze by two {{p|Magmar}}. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an [[Old Amber]].

Wanting to reach the [[Seafoam Islands]], Red then goes to the bottom of a lake to retrieve the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}}. He is instead confronted by a {{p|Dragonite}} and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it, only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock. He is eventually rescued by [[Misty]], who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and [[Gyara]]dos. Misty then trades Red's {{p|Krabby}} for her Gyarados, who knows {{m|Surf}}. On Seafoam Islands, Red encounters Team Rocket again, who are searching for {{p|Articuno}}.

He then reaches [[Cinnabar Island]], spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a {{p|Moltres}}. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}}. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's [[Old Amber]] and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

Later, when Red, {{Adv|Blue}}, and {{Adv|Green}} all fail to get into [[Saffron City]], Red goes to [[Pallet Town]] to ask for [[Professor Oak]]'s advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for [[Sabrina]] and her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. {{Adv|Blue}} then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be [[Team Rocket]]'s headquarters, and they find out that [[Vui]] is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large {{t|psychic}} barrier, so with some urging from {{Adv|Green}}, Red and Blue team up. With [[Pika]]'s {{m|Substitute}} and Blue's {{p|Golduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}}, the two of them locate the source of the {{m|barrier}}, Sabrina's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.

After splitting up with Blue at [[Silph Co.]], Red runs into [[Lt. Surge]], who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, powered by {{p|Zapdos}}. Red sends out [[Saur]] in defense and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the {{badge|Thunder}} from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds [[Koga]] standing victorious over {{Adv|Blue}}. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's {{p|Grimer}}. After a hard battle with the legendary {{p|Articuno}}, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the {{badge|Soul}} from him, and the two split up once again.

He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets {{Adv|Green}}, who hands him the {{badge|Marsh}} in exchange for his {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. Red fits his seven badges into the Amplifier and points it at his [[Pika]]chu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two badges that she returned to him earlier were a fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged together when Green inserts the real badges in, creating [[Zapmolcuno|a new Pokémon]]. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.

[[File:PS038.jpg|left|thumb|Red's battle with [[Giovanni]]]]
Red then journies back to [[Cerulean City]] to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be {{Adv|Mewtwo}}. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}}. They are saved by [[Blaine]], and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a [[Master Ball]] for Blaine.

Later, Red encounters {{adv|Yellow}} being attacked by a {{p|Dratini}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He helps her catch a {{p|Rattata}} and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets [[Giovanni]] again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better trainer and goes off to the [[Indigo Plateau]].

With the badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces {{adv|Blue}} in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} with [[Saur]] and emerges as the [[Champion]] of the 9th Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]], who are watching the battle from the side.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
[[File:PS068.png|right|thumb|Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]]]]
At the beginning of the second chapter, two years after the end of the previous chapter, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want Red's {{badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he refuses, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.

Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the chapter, [[Giovanni]] eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save [[Bill]] and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:GoldRedheadingoff.png|left|thumb|Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter.]]
Red is offered the newly open position of [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help {{Adv|Yellow}} deal with finding {{p|Lugia}} in [[Johto]], but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from {{Adv|Blue}} where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]] with [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]], where he meets [[Sabrina]], also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokémon League, and he later arrives at the scene in time to save {{adv|Blue}}, [[Brock]] and [[Erika]] from a [[Magnet Train|train]] crash.

Red and Blue then travel underground with Blue's new {{p|Rhydon}} towards [[Ilex Forest]], where the villainous [[Masked Man]] headed. Along the way they meet [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], two former enemies, who help them on their way and tell them about {{p|Celebi}}.

When they arrive at [[Ilex Forest]], Red, Blue, and the other main characters then team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the battle Red finally learns that {{adv|Yellow}} is a girl. At the end of the story, {{adv|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[File:Red and Green FRLG Special.png|thumb|right|Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and their Pokémon in the fifth chapter]]Red and Blue meet at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, where they find messages mysteriously asking them to leave their Pokédexes and head to [[Vermilion City]]. Once there, the two board the [[Seagallop Ferries|Seagallop Ferry]] to the [[Sevii Islands]], where they also find {{adv|Green}} being attacked by {{p|Deoxys}}. They are soon confronted by the new [[Team Rocket]] Admins, the [[The Three Beasts|Beast Warrior Trio]], as well as {{p|Deoxys}}, who is under control of Giovanni. As it turns out, [[Professor Oak]] has been kidnapped by Team Rocket.

Red undergoes special training under [[Kimberly]] on [[Boon Island]], where his [[Saur|Venusaur]] learns the legendary {{type2|Grass}} move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with. Red loses his confidence, but eventually regains the will to fight in order to understand the meaning of his connection to Deoxys.

{{Adv|Mewtwo}} shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the Team Rocket helicopter hovering above [[Viridian City]], where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as [[Carr]], one of the Beast Warrior Trio, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his {{p|Forretress}} all over the helicopter and ordering them to use {{m|Explosion}}, takes over the helicopter. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the aircraft from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]]. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the chapter, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by [[Sird]]'s beam intended for Deoxys.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, still statues, were transported in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this chapter, Red, along with four other [[Pokédex holders]], remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others helped fight [[Guile Hideout]].

==Pokémon==
Red's Pokémon nicknames are taken from two syllables from their Japanese language-version names.

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the fifth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he "borrowed" from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the "House of Pokémon." He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.

He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous.

Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''"Breeder'''" (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:GoldGSCchapter.png|left|thumb|Gold at the beginning of the third chapter]]
During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). On his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Explotaro]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.

Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City, he realizes that [[Poltaro]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Explotaro heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.

He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help, he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a male. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Explotaro use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it turns out it took Gold's Poltaro. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Totaro's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.

Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one: if he lost, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's granddaughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. This was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier than him. He found a Teddiursa and tried to catch it to no avail. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Ataro ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his billiard cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetche'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle, Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Poltaro's Water Gun made it react more than Explotaro's {{m|Ember}} attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Ataro's Poké Ball disguised as a cue ball, his egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Explotaro evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care coupe then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Poltaro evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.
[[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's {{m|Aeroblast}} attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Poké Ball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful {{m|Mega Drain}}, but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into {{p|Pichu}}, which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[Image:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|100px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]
During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the fifth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he "borrowed" from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the "House of Pokémon." He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.

He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous.

Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''"Breeder'''" (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:GoldGSCchapter.png|left|thumb|Gold at the beginning of the third chapter]]
During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). On his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Explotaro]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.

Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City, he realizes that [[Poltaro]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Explotaro heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.

He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help, he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a male. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Explotaro use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it turns out it took Gold's Poltaro. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Totaro's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.

Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one: if he lost, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's granddaughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. This was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier than him. He found a Teddiursa and tried to catch it to no avail. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Ataro ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his billiard cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetche'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle, Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Poltaro's Water Gun made it react more than Explotaro's {{m|Ember}} attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Ataro's Poké Ball disguised as a cue ball, his egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Explotaro evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care coupe then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Poltaro evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.
[[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's {{m|Aeroblast}} attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Poké Ball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful {{m|Mega Drain}}, but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into {{p|Pichu}}, which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[Image:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|100px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]
During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the fifth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he "borrowed" from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the "House of Pokémon." He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.

He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous.

Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''"Breeder'''" (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:GoldGSCchapter.png|left|thumb|Gold at the beginning of the third chapter]]
During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). On his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Explotaro]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.

Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City, he realizes that [[Poltaro]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Explotaro heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.

He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help, he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a male. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Explotaro use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it turns out it took Gold's Poltaro. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Totaro's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.

Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one: if he lost, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's granddaughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. This was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier than him. He found a Teddiursa and tried to catch it to no avail. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Ataro ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his billiard cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetche'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle, Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Poltaro's Water Gun made it react more than Explotaro's {{m|Ember}} attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Ataro's Poké Ball disguised as a cue ball, his egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Explotaro evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care coupe then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Poltaro evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.
[[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's {{m|Aeroblast}} attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Poké Ball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful {{m|Mega Drain}}, but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into {{p|Pichu}}, which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[Image:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|100px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]
During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the fifth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he "borrowed" from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the "House of Pokémon." He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.

He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous.

Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''"Breeder'''" (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:GoldGSCchapter.png|left|thumb|Gold at the beginning of the third chapter]]
During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). On his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Explotaro]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.

Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City, he realizes that [[Poltaro]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Explotaro heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.

He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help, he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a male. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Explotaro use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it turns out it took Gold's Poltaro. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Totaro's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.

Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one: if he lost, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's granddaughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. This was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier than him. He found a Teddiursa and tried to catch it to no avail. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Ataro ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his billiard cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetche'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle, Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Poltaro's Water Gun made it react more than Explotaro's {{m|Ember}} attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Ataro's Poké Ball disguised as a cue ball, his egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Explotaro evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care coupe then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Poltaro evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.
[[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's {{m|Aeroblast}} attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Poké Ball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful {{m|Mega Drain}}, but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into {{p|Pichu}}, which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[Image:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|100px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]
During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).

Hi! I just joined to help! I have a new idea for one. How about Brock and Autumn. I also have a suggested name for it! How about...
1. YoungOldShipping
2. TutorShipping
3. BrotumnShipping
[[User:Tandra88|Tandra88]] 14:47, 28 March 2009 (UTC)tandra88

== NavigatorShipping??? ==
Why did you change '''KnowledgeShipping''' to '''''NavigatorShipping'''''???? Brock and Max know '''a whole lot more''' than Gissele (a C.O.D.), and Gary. Can't we change the Gary/Gissle shipping to something like ''GravelerShipping''???? --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Mission Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Sandbox|2]]''' 14:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

-- *eye roll* Dude, we have an official list for a reason (even the out-of-date one on Bulbapedia will confirm that it's been under these name since at least May): so things like this won't happen.

Knowledgeshipping has been Gary/Giselle for even longer than ''I'' can remember and I've been in the 'shipping game for years, and someone (not you, because I know who it was) named Brock/Max Navigatorshipping even before it occured to you. There is no ''changing'' when it's been that way for that long; you'll have to live with it. Sorry. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]]

Okay, it's not that bad. I just wanted a reason why we changed it, and you gave me one. Thanks. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Mission Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Sandbox|2]]''' 14:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== BlueShipping??? ==

What in the HELL made you change DrugShipping to BlueShipping?? Quite clearly DrugShipping made more sence "I'm sick of people not checking and doing things willy-nilly" what the hell does that mean?? I checked to see if there was a shipping like that there wasn't so I made one!! You have no right to change the name so there I'm pissed off Ok are you happy!?!? I want answers!!! I will not change it for risk of being banned but I think that everyone has a choice of what to call there own pages!! GAWD!!!

Forgive me for typing rudely, but I think I know what I'm bloody well talking about. Gary/May is LIST ON THE LIST AS ''BrunettShipping''.

Knock it off, you two. ArcToraphim knows more about shipping, and I admit that I know absolutely nothing, so leave the misspelling.

It has an article, so NO--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 17:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Brunetteshipping should be a redirect, as should Shellshipping, I suppose. It goes against my better nature since they're both claimed, but neither will be getting any articles any time soon. [[User:ArcToraphim|ArcToraphim]] 17:23, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

:ShellShipping I'll keep as a redirect. BrunetteShipping, however, should be deleted, since there's no connection between BrunettShipping and BrunetteShipping besides the similar names. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 17:30, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
::Point taken, but at the same time, you did make the point about the common use of Brunetteshipping on Google. .....I just don't want to keep going through these arguments between people, and if this is what I get for something not many people support, imagine what's going to happen once I find the strength to do something about Farawayshipping (which should be Outcry, but Faraway's in much more use). I'm too old and settled for the crap.
::In the short run, Delia/Jasmine will never get an article, for obvious reasons. If it's possible to create a disambig that states Brunette is Delia/Jasmine and commonly mistaken for Gary/May, please go here for article, that I can live with.

== Chie ==

[[Satoshi]] is a disambig page because there are two characters named so. Tajiri is just an addition to an existing disambig. As for voice actors, we don't make disambigs just because of their first names because no one refers to them just by their first names. That "what if they think Chie's the surname?" is not a reason. What if someone thinks that "Ketchum" is actually Misty's surname? Is it a reason for a disambig? No. We NEVER create disambigs just because some VA shares a name with a character. We only add VA names to EXISTING disambigs. Hence, there's no need for [[Chie]] being a disambig. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:Ever think if you took a less demeaning course of action, people would actually take you serious more times than not? Saying things like "We NEVER" is belitting (as though you're yelling at a child) and akin to a personal attack that puts people who don't know how to deal with you on the maximum defensive. It also makes you feel you've erected a wall others cannot argue around, empowering yourself to whatever your statement is, which in fact, it can.
:Because I would like to see where this mandate that "VAs don't get listed in disambigs when this, that, and these" is dictated (even a solid agreement on a talk page involving Those Who Matter would do if it's not apart of a manual), instead of something you feel should be warranted by your own say-so. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 16:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::Personal attack? Don't be funny. I just think there's no need to create disambigs for the sake of creating disambigs. The arguments for "Chie" as a disambig are very weak. If there were two characters with such name - I would agree with it. Or even, if there was more than one notable VA with that first name. But there is nothing like that, a person who could be searching for a "Chie" in POKEMON Pedia would most possibly be searching for Maisy/Maizie/Macey/whatever it's spelt. And it's funny how you completely changed the topic of the discussion, questioning my methods of reasoning. There is no mandate about creating useless disambigs but there should be one (I think I'll contact TTE on this issue) and as long as there's no such one, I'm just seeking for usless disambig and annihilating them. Your advocating of them is ridiculous. And we actually deleted one disambig like that (character vs. VA) - that was [[Hiroki]]. I was the one to annihilate it and (despite Maverick Nate's revert) my decision was supported without any further problems. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::I'm not saying you're attacking people; I'm saying the way you conduct yourself makes people feel like you are, regardless if you are or not: all guns ablaze, and all that jazz. And see, now you're bringing what you should have brought in the first place instead of CAPS usage and demanding to be right: passive reasons for its elimination (except for that "advocating of them is ridiculous part"; I rightly take offense).
:::Now, I agree somewhat with what you're saying and I see what you mean, but I have to protest: it's very '''unlikely''' that anyone searching for "Chie" is looking for Maisy. Chie Sato is a lot more prominent for being a voice actor than Maisy is as a character (being that she existed a thousand episodes ago and anyone looking for her will likely only know her English name, or will search her out through Kurt, if they don't know her English name).
:::Chie Sato, however, is still functioning through the series as the occasional voice or various roles and remains a current member of the minor cast. My reasoning for "what if they think her first name is her surname" is logical: you might think such a person to be an idiot, but there are a lot of people who cannot discern an Asian surname from a first name (because it's all Greek to them). Also, if a person's mind blanks and they can only recall "Chie", what then? If it leads to a redirect, they're square out of luck, no?
:::However, I will concede to the point of not having the disambig (for now). Though I don't believe it's right, only because it plays a part in isolating the Japanese part of the 'Pedia from the English folk. And if you DO bring this up to TTE, be a lad and bring up both sides of the argument, yes? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 17:05, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

== About Barry ==
On the page it said, "Also, like Gary, his name is taken, in both Japanese and English, from the first-listed default name for his game counterpart in the primary version." But isn't this wrong? The first listed name for the rival in Red/Blue was Blue not Gary. Gary was second. - Kirby Phelps (PK)
:Point. Perhaps it needs to be reworded to negate doubts of a pattern; the problem with just saying the name was taken from one of the defaulted list makes it seem like there is no pattern, while that's untrue (and would give way to possible arguments on "how he should have been Damion"). The pattern is the top-most normal name (colors and metals not considered in the general "normal" vicinity) of the alpha version is given to the rival.

If all roads lead to Rome, when it comes to how the article will look with the G template or the word itself, what's the point of using it in the first place? It really is a lazy template, even game wise, if you are using it instead of writing out the darn word. Dreaded é you can just click on the palette. Ooooo, I'm frightened.

Nor is it up to you. We're a community - that means we make these decisions together. Now, if you really think Origin should stay, then explain why on its talk page, don't give me some cryptic sentence here about how it has "grounds for means and context".

:But it's because you're an admin that people are predominantly going to agree with what you believe, like CK here, who's only trying to get on the admins' good side, as he admitted above. It's also a pseudo-domino effect: what one person thinks and then does, it's suddenly alright to have that opinion, even if they were completely indifferent before, and not necessarily because they believe it should be done, but it's also nice to know that, seeing as we're a community, that you wouldn't contact me that this was going down, and I have to find out after I come home, and feel because it is being done, it's futile to fight back against the inflow of opinion. Because, you know, you're an admin. No one's going to think you're doing this "as a user" and not as "an admin". PLs just sit pretty, after all. You'd think, as a community, you'd also get the opinion of the one whose overseeing the articles and is up to their eyeballs with the subject matter, instead of getting the opinions of users who aren't. And not just me, mind. It might be a process, but did you even ask which ones are definitely not notable? I'll tell you.

:::::I'd like to see you tell that to the supporters of the big 'ships. The 'ships themselves might not be fact, but the in-media hints they use are. The only thing that differs between mainspace and shipping articles is that interpretation is allowed on those facts. The "why suchandsuch is supported" is never important; that's opinion in and of itself and would never be allowed; the facts of action is what either speak for the 'ship or don't change anyone's mind. Its relevance to the circumstance is important, however, in the case of things like Contestshipping and Fireshipping, being character and episode subplots respectively. Accord, Aegis, and Repulse are directly connected to the advance of the 10th movie, Dedicate was some cute one-off crush for May to not reciprocate, and same for Kissshipping, and even that one isn't confirmed to be one-sided (meaning harmless flirtation over real first-sight feelings). Ability, Morpheus, Alto, and every other crush-on-Ash are related to the characters of the episode(s) in question, as is all the one-sided main-character 'ships (since it's the main characters that are involved, even if they aren't doing the involving). Canon 'ships should have their due, because they ''are'' fact, and all one-sided 'ships bask in the canonical status as being factual in some way, for someone (Brock's daily crushes not withstanding).

<nowiki>[Resetting indent]</nowiki>I think I should throw in my rationale. Luna, you have to divorce your feelings for shipping in general - which I profess to know next to nothing about - with Bulbapedia's overarching standards for quality and notability. We can't sacrifice our standards to keep a segment of the fan base happy. If people are that interested in Chikoshipping, '''they'll make an article for it.''' We aren't hostile to ships. We are hostile to articles that are not of even acceptable quality and clog up the site. This isn't an attack on you or the work you do, but you and I have talked numerous times and agreed that a handful of ships are outrageous on face, simply there because someone can contrive it. I think narrowing the number of articles will allow contributors to focus on the more viable ships, and as they grow, the smaller ships will pop up again, and then they will get filled in, and the section will expand out. It's worth noting that Bulbapedia itself only opened with 114 articles. There were, if memory serves, 386 pocket monsters at the time. You grow from a core outwards; right now the Shipping space is paralyzed by sprawl, with too few contributions and daunting tasks facing it.

I recommend a setup in which we condense all ships who have articles at "small stub" level into a handful of list articles. Viable stubs and full articles are kept. People work on the viable stubs and the big articles. If someone wants to expand a subsection in a list article, once it's meaty enough to be spun off into a viable stub, we do that. I think that'll benefit your overarching goals--an expanded, high-quality shipping space--and ours, a neat, clean, and easy-to-approach section of Bulbapedia. -- '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' [[User_talk:evkl|(need to talk?)]] 16:55, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Whether it's shuffled into a make-shift list like the nevermet 'ships or just left alone, as long as it's somewhere to be seen and likely added to. If that's what what you mean by 'list articles' (the nevermet list), then I only ask that I have what was deleted from Greenshipping, so as to make a PiPiPi manga 'ship list (too few and they're all small).

::I agree with you completely. As we transition small stubs to lists, we'll preserve them in their entirety. This may present a bit of a formatting challenge but I'll get people to think up ways to make sure everything stays together. We won't reduce an article of two sentences to "___shipping; shipping between A and B" in a list. We'll keep the full two sentences, or however much there is. I think at this point the biggest issue is twofold; one, we need to determine what constitutes a viable stub, and two, we need to determine a way to categorize all of these new to-be-removed stubs into very intuitive lists.

:::At your request, Luna, the content of the GreenShipping page before deletion, minus the templates and such, was:
:::<code>'''GreenShipping''', in the context of the {{pkmn|manga}} [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], refers to a romantic relationship between the brothers [[Pistachio]] and [[Peanut]]. No evidence exists for such a pairing, as Pistachio and Peanut interact only once in the entire ten-volume series, when Peanut introduces Pistachio to [[Hazel]].

* [[Shipping:SundaeShipping]] - this one has a lot of info, but its a huge wall of text, and has been since its creation in 2007. its also pedophilia, but i guess shipping is no holds in that respect.

also, [[Shipping:History of Pokémon shipping]] article is on the list and it is massive with multiple problems, seems like an important article to seemingly forget. anyway, thats all for now. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:55, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:Nix Smother, Jail, and Curtain. Blue does have multiple episode hints, but no one's been paying any attention to them. And no, the nature of 'shipping rarely stops the masses from supporting it (the majority of supporters [which yes, are a minority] don't support Sundae ''because'' it's pedophilia, or else Brandon/Ash would have been huge); but if you haven't noticed, some 'ship articles do have walls of texts, because that's the best way to get the relationship across. Hoenn, hang on to. I've a feeling I'm going to be combining articles once I'm privy to the time for it (List of player ships, which would be player/player and player/rival).

Hey, I made [[DayDreamShipping|the page]], so do you want to take it off the list? I didn't want to without permission.--[[User:Smartkidhen|Smartkidhen]] 20:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Lists of ships ==

I was thinking, maybe it will be simpler if we code a nice roundy template for each "box" you use in those lists....? --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 13:54, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

::{{Template|Shipping}}. [[Shipping:List of nevermetshippings|There]]. There's still a slight glitch (the romanized names are bolded for some reason I can't figure out), but it works. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 15:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey im new here...um so can i b part of Project Shipping? I kno lotsa ships and can find evidence for them. Sorry for seeming like a pathetic noob. As matter of fact i am. {{unsigned|emovampire1}}
:That's fine. You don't actually have to ask permission, however. Just add your name to the bottom of the list and help where you can. And sign your name with the four tilde (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), please. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 23:37, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I have noticed no one made a Yellow and Green page yet.is it ok if i make one?

== <nowiki>[[Category:Shipping|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki> ==

<nowiki>[[Category:Shipping|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>
Allows the name of the page to show up in the category, in this case, Category:Shipping, without having to write out the whole page name. For example, instead of <nowiki>[[Category:Shipping|AdmirationShipping]]</nowiki>, users can simply put <nowiki>[[Category:Shipping|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki> on the [[Shipping:AdmirationShipping|AdmirationShipping page]] and have AdmirationShipping show up on the Category:Shipping list. It also works for any other category, such as Category:Anime ships, and can be used on {{tt|every|I assume}} shipping page. I hope this helps and/or clears up the misunderstanding we had.

Pokémon Adventures

2010-05-10T07:12:00Z

Rubybrendan: /* Trivia */

{{redirect|Pokémon Special|the special episodes in the [[Pokémon anime]]|List of anime specials}}

'''Pokémon Adventures''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター'''☆'''SPECIAL''' ''Pocket Monsters ☆ SPECIAL'') is a {{pkmn|manga}} series authored by 日下秀憲 ''[[Hidenori Kusaka]]''. It was illustrated by 真斗 ''[[Mato]]'' for the first nine volumes and starting from [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|volume 10]] it has been illustrated by 山本サトシ ''[[Satoshi Yamamoto]]''. It is published by [[Shōgakukan]] under the Ladybird Comics Special series.

It is popularly known as '''Pokémon Special''' even outside of Japan, and often shortened as PokéSpe (Japanese: ポケスペ ''PokeSupe'').

Unlike the anime, which, though drawing much inspiration from the games, does not follow them exactly, Pokémon Adventures is a mostly game-based manga, with the thirteen main characters taking their names from the [[main series]] games, and their various adventures tending to stay restricted to their home [[region]]. Also unlike the anime, which has gone to great lengths to indicate the danger of a [[legendary Pokémon]] being captured, the main characters of Pokémon Adventures have captured and sometimes use their own legendaries, much as the {{player}} can in the games. Pokémon Adventures also contains darker elements than other media, including certain characters and some Pokémon actually dying.

The series was translated into English and published in the United States by [[VIZ Media]]; however, publication stopped after the {{chap|Yellow}}. In June 2009, VIZ began re-releasing the series from volume 1. Unlike the original English releases, which read from left-to-right like Western comics and had the art mirrored from the Japanese releases, these re-released volumes retain the original format, with the pages going from right-to-left. Following the re-release of Volume 7, Viz will begin to release volumes 8 on onwards for the first time in the United States.

On October 26, 2009, it was announced that Gakunen magazine Grade 5 and Grade 6 (at the time serializing the Diamond & Pearl chapter) would cease publication at the end of the fiscal year. Publication will continue in the Grade 4 magazine, and in Corocoro Ichiban.

Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] is quoted as stating, "This is the comic that most resembles the world I was trying to convey."<ref name="tajiri">[http://web.archive.org/web/20021215144736/www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/characters.html]</ref> Game producer [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] also praises the series, saying, "I want every Pokémon fan to read this comic!"<ref name="ishihara">[http://www.viz.com/products/products.php?series_id=497]</ref>

==Story arcs==
The various {{adv|chapter}}s of Pokémon Adventures span the four [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]] so far. These chapters are named typically for the games they correspond to; however, the protagonists of each chapter typically also share these names.

===Red, Green & Blue chapter (Volume 1~3)===
{{main|Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)}}

The first chapter of Pokémon Adventures, much like the first games, chronicles the journeys of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} across the [[Kanto]] region, conquering its eight [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Later, a third Trainer, {{adv|Green}}, comes into the plot. Together, the three defeat [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization that uses Pokémon for illegal things. Red also helps [[Blaine]] to capture {{Adv|Mewtwo}} and saves {{adv|Yellow|a young girl}} from [[wild Pokémon]] in [[Viridian Forest]]. In the end, as in the games, Red defeats Blue in the Pokémon League.

This chapter consists of the first three volumes of the manga.

===Yellow chapter (Volume 4~7)===
{{main|Yellow chapter (Adventures)}}

The Yellow chapter starts two years after {{adv|Red}} obtains his title of the Champion in the [[Pokémon League]]. {{adv|Red}} disappears for one month after he leaves to answer a challenge from someone named [[Bruno]]. One day, [[Professor Oak]] discovers Red's {{P|Pikachu}}, Pika, injured at his doorstep. Soon after the arrival of Pika, a young trainer comes into the Professor's lab. The trainer, {{adv|Yellow}}, claims that "he" is a friend of {{adv|Red}} and wishes to look for him with Pika. While [[Professor Oak]] is still skeptical about Yellow, especially about "his" ability of healing and sensing Pokémon's emotions, he eventually entrusts this mission and Red's upgraded [[Pokédex]] to the young trainer. However, this event only triggers the revelation of a larger secret as Yellow is repeatedly attacked by members of the [[Elite Four]].

===Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Volume 8~15)===
[[File:Manga characters.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Adventures main characters up to the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}]]
{{main|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)}}

As peace is returning to [[Kanto]], new journeys and happenings are beginning in another region, [[Johto]]. {{adv|Gold}} was enjoying his normal life with his family Pokémon, who have been with him since birth, until he ran into a Pokémon thief at [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. As he goes on a journey of chasing the thief, {{adv|Silver}}, with a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm and [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], he stumbles upon the secret plots of the [[Masked Man]]. At the same time, [[Professor Oak]] sends out a "Pokémon Capture Professional", {{adv|Crystal}}, on a journey of completing the Pokédex. She gets involved in [[Eusine]]'s plans to capture {{p|Suicune}} and tries to do so herself. Soon after, she also gets involved with the plots of Masked Man, who is apparently after the two legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. The more shocking revelation follows: this Masked Man is actually one of the 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of the combined Kanto-Johto area!

===Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Volume 15~22)===
{{main|Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)}}

Things have just settled down in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but another new region coming on screen. This chapter is about the "rivalry" of {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, who are trying to conquer all the [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Gym]]s in [[Hoenn]] respectively within the span of 80 days. Just like their counterparts in Kanto and Johto, they encounter two evil organizations, the land-loving [[Team Magma]] and sea-loving [[Team Aqua]]. However, on top of their gym battles and Pokémon contests, the two teams and the balance of nature, Sapphire and Ruby have to worry about something else, too: their feelings for each other...

===FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Volume 22~26)===
{{main|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)}}

The FRLG series continues the series featuring the characters Red and Blue as they are forced to explore the [[Sevii Islands]] to look for [[Professor Oak]] who got kidnapped by a {{p|Deoxys}}. Meanwhile, {{adv|Green}} has finally located her parents, but as she is about to meet them, they get swallowed up by a mysterious black hole. Red, Green, and Blue must locate the missing relatives with the help of a former foe, [[Lorelei]], the psychic mutant, {{Adv|Mewtwo}} and a mysterious old lady, [[Kiwame]], while defeating [[Team Rocket]] again at the same time. Back in [[Kanto]], {{adv|Silver}} is seeking his parents as well, with the help of {{adv|Yellow}}. He is soon shocked by the revelation of who his father really is...

===Emerald chapter (Volume 26~29)===
{{main|Emerald chapter (Adventures)}}

The grand opening of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} takes an unexpected twist when {{adv|Emerald}} appears on the scene. Now he must conquer the seven facilities in seven days. With a seemingly unmatched ability at battles and access to every Pokémon {{adv|Crystal}} has ever caught, the mysterious stranger that attacks [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] and is seeking {{p|Jirachi}}, [[Guile Hideout]], may be more of a worry, especially if he catches Jirachi first...

===Diamond & Pearl chapter (Volume 30~?)===
{{main|Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)}}

An important family from the region of [[Sinnoh]] sends their last descendant {{adv|Platinum}} on a special mission with two [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]]. Platinum instead meets with {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}}, who coincidentally match the description given to her (two boys in scarves, one in red, the other in green). They join her, believing that by accompanying her to [[Mt. Coronet]] they will win a prize from her family, but it won't be easy.

===Platinum chapter (Volume ?~?)===
{{main|Platinum chapter (Adventures)}}

The chapter follows Lady {{adv|Platinum}} Berlitz as she enters the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} as well as [[Looker]], who is investigating information on the [[Distortion World]].

===HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter (Volume ?~?)===
{{main|HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter (Adventures)}}

The chapter starring {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} is scheduled to start in the April 2010 issue of Grade 4 magazine and in the May 2010 issue of Corocoro Ichiban.

Silver investigates a series of incidents that appear to be the work of a revived Team Rocket. A few weeks later, Gold faces an enraged Arceus in battle.

==Trivia==
*A lot of the art in Pokémon Adventures is based on the original concept works from the games. For example:
**In the Red, Green, and Blue chapter, Charmander is drawn with spikes on its back.
**Hitmonlee has legs that can stretch like springs in the Yellow chapter.
**Green's character design appears to be based on a [[Ken Sugimori]] illustration of {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and an [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|unnamed, unused female trainer]].
**Brock's Graveler is seen floating like Geodude instead of having feet.
*Throughout the series, every protagonist starts out with a Pokémon other than the traditional starter Pokémon that are chosen in the games. However, each protagonist eventually gets one, near the start of the chapter.

Rubybrendan: /* Intro */

{{ship}}
----
'''LuckyShipping''' (Japanese: '''レブル''' ''ReBuru'') is the name given to the pairing for {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Evidence==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
* Green shows a flirtatious attitude toward Red in their early encounters. The first time they meet, Green charms him into buying her wares. When battling [[Team Rocket]] in the first saga, Green refers to Red as her "sweetie pie". She also hugs him, winks at him, and blows him kisses. It should be noted that this continues even after there was no need to act in such a way around Red.
* Green tricks Red into buying her items by acting like his admirer. Later Red is talking to his Pokémon about it, commenting on how he could tell she liked him, and how she is his age. Showing a clear attraction at the time, he keeps his mind on her until a {{p|Pinsir}} interrupts.
* As Red tries to get his money back from Green, the girl fakes her tears in attempt to escape. Red, however, stops her and leaves her next to a tree after getting his money. Unfortunately, Green manages to steal his two badges, which forces Red to pursue her again. Then he learns that Team Rocket is looking for her, so he disguises himself as one of them to find her.
* Red heroically saves Green from a full-speeding {{p|Tauros}}. Because of this, Green seems to "fangirl" over him and call him "her hero."
* Green calls Red her "sweetie" and exposes him to Team Rocket by tearing off his uniform without necessarily being aware of his outfit underneath.
* Escaping Team Rocket, Green drags Red with her, despite not knowing his motives. She then appoints him as her partner without giving him a choice.
* After Red and Green get away from Team Rocket, Red joins her in catching {{p|Mew}}, even though he is more or less irritated with her motive for money. Once Team Rocket reappears, he helps her out again and protects her by keeping her out of the line of fire.
* Once Mew had escaped from Team Rocket, Green and Red go their separate ways. But Green slips him a note, thanking him for everything. They then exchange one last glance at each other.
* Once [[Sabrina]] locates Green for the second time in the battle with Team Rocket, this time with Red, he tells her to stay back, claiming it to be dangerous. This is something done often between love interests. Green swoons once more, agreeing to do so.
* In the semifinals of the [[Pokémon League]], Red watches Green's match, and seems to have preferred it if she were to win.
* In the Final Round, Green watches Red's match and seems to want him to win.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
* Green is the first to discover and show notable concern when Red is missing. Upon seeing {{adv|Yellow}}'s drawing of Red in her sketch book, she becomes anxious, hoping that she knows his whereabouts. She is also the one who sent Yellow on a mission to find him.
* At the end of the arc, Green decides not to tell Red about Yellow's true identity, saying it would be more fun to see him figure it out on his own. However, fans believe that Green simply stayed quiet because she didn't want competition.

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
* Green lends [[Blasty|her Blastoise]] to Red. Red questions this decision at first, since she uses her Blastoise for flight transportation, and Green tells him "not to worry about flying".
* During the final chapter, Red and Blue join Green in battle using the [[legendary birds]]. The interesting point here is the fact that Red would yell out her name in concern whenever she was in deep trouble.
* When Red is finally able to try and talk to Yellow about her true gender, Green yells saying it's a bad time to do so. Fans believe that she is either worried or jealous, although she doesn't seem to care at all when she notices Yellow worrying about Red talking to [[Misty]].

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
* Green goes into shock upon witnessing her parents disappear (at the hands of {{p|Deoxys}}) and falls off the boat into the water. Red sends his [[Poli|Poliwrath]] to rescue her and he carries her from then afterward until they can find her a bed.
* When Red's spirit is broken and he runs away, Green gives chase, and when she finds him, she comforts him and thanks him because "he did all of it for her sake." Although this, like his previous anger, is also later credited towards his friends in general. However, he seemed much angrier over Green than Blue (who was also victimized), granted that Green was in a worse condition at the time. However, whether or not Red did care more or mostly about Green, she perceives it this way. This shows that both of them care deeply for each other, although whether the feeling be romantic or platonic is never really addressed.

==Trivia==
* LuckyShipping is an alternative name for ''FeelingShipping'' ({{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Yellow}}) as well as the name for the Shipping of {{ho|Robert}} and {{an|May}}.
* A popular rumor in LuckyShipping is that Red's Espeon and Green's Ditto have or will mate and produce an egg. The only evidence of this is that the two Pokémon were seen together at the end of the Emerald saga.
* Another name for LuckyShipping is ChristmasShipping, which uses their English names "Red" and "Green." The name is taken from the idea that red and green are the two commonly used colors for Christmas decoration, or are "Christmas colors."
* It is unknown exactly where the name "LuckyShipping" comes from, but the common story is the idea that Red gets "lucky" with Green, and Silver shoots him in response to his actions. Though it should be noted that this happens nowhere in the manga. Another theory is simply that Red and Green are lucky to have each other, or lucky to have met. It can also be presumed that since Green makes the most physical contact with Red and is more flirtatious towards him than anyone else shown in the manga, that Red is considered lucky in that sense. However, the ''exact'' origin of the ship's name is unclear.
* Their names, "Red" and "Blue", Green's Japanese name, are two colors that are commonly put together and are found together in video game pairs. One could argue that this is foreshadowing to a future relationship.

[[Image:Project Shipping logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Shipping'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list]].

==Project Shipping==
===Scope and aims===
Project Shipping covers all articles about Shipping. When developing new pages or adding to old ones, adhere to this: [[Bulbapedia:Shipping]] for guidance on content.

===Participation===
'''PLEASE READ''': "All" is a misnomer; it is impossible to actively construct articles for all the known Ships. Bulbapedia is also an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias are professional tools. All information is relevant if it relates directly to the medium it spawns from, and is FACT. It is fact Ash is oblivious to the many crushes he's gotten; it is not fact he might currently reciprocate on any of them.

Shipping articles do offer bias, as Shipping itself is as bias as it is factual. It's fact Shipping is a major part of the fandom; it's not fact everyone agrees with everything that will be represented as evidence. Therefore, if you are going to participate in cleaning up the articles or creating them, please be aware of what is acceptable within the article. You might insert information another does not believe belongs, even though it fits possible "evidence"; unlike the main space, information here is not judged the same, only because everything on the main space is generally ironclad and there is no room for fanon, weak evidence, or lazy information. In that frame of mind, even bias information is subject to disbelief, and can be deleted if the evidence is not sustainable.

tl;dr - Crap is still crap. You can grasp at straws, but you're better off not, for the sake of an article's integrity. Know your information, and if you have to, explain it coherently (just not over-glossed and embellished).

===Page Creation===
If you want to create an article that is not listed on the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list|to-do list]], it would be wise to ''ask'' the current project leader if it's actually okay, with ''a valid argument for it''. There are over 6,000 Ships in the Pokémon fandom alone; not all of them deserve articles on the merit of existence alone.

AUGUST 21, 2009: There will be '''no more''' pages for nevermets without prior consultation with the Project Leader. Any future articles will need to have a founding basis for the article, and will be given a week-long trial on its worth. Meaning, unless it's an article on a somewhat canon interrelation, such as ChikoShipping, AdvanceShipping, or CollideShipping, it will be rightly judged if it's worth notability. So before publishing the page, please construct it to an adequate size. If there is little to be said for the couple past popularity and straw-clutching (IkariShipping), then chances are it's not worth it. However, we will be the judge of that, if it's worth its weight or not.

===Structure===
====Title====
All articles should be known as 'Shipping:{name}Shipping' and a page, '{name}Shipping' should be created with only the template <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect}}</nowiki>. There is no need to put <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect|PAGENAME}}</nowiki> because the template has that covered.

Also, at the start of each article in the Shipping namespace you should add a [[Template:Ship|<nowiki>{{ship}}</nowiki>]] template so as to warn people.

If the article is a stub, use the template mentioned below.

====Other====

:''For further structure templates, including multi-ship articles, see [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/Article Structure]]''

===Goals===
# Write comprehensive and upstanding articles on Ships.
##This means they are to be substantial, well written (even if they are short articles), and with substance.
# Ensure that all hints/evidence/facts are in the originating media and not from fanfiction. All fanon information is to be eliminated.
##All given hints/evidence/facts should also be meaningful and not tossed in there because it made the Shipper in you go squee.
