'''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]'s (later the [[Seafoam Islands]]') [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Volcano}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in {{pkmn|battle}}. He is a highly intelligent man who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==

When he once got lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range, he was guided out of the mountains by a {{p|Moltres}}. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine is a resident of [[Cinnabar Island]], and has lived there since before the [[Cinnabar Lab]] was built. He is good friends with [[Mr. Fuji]] and used to do Pokémon research with him.

In addition to the Volcano Badge, Blaine gives out {{TM|38|Fire Blast}} in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} he gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}, and in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], his reward is {{TM|46|Fire Blast}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the volcano on Cinnabar Island has erupted, destroying the town and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to a cave at the [[Seafoam Islands]], and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar, planning to rebuild his Gym one day.

Blaine is able to be [[rematch]]ed in HeartGold and SoulSilver, after collecting his number at any time on Tuesday on Cinnabar Island. A call to him on Tuesday afternoon will arrange a rematch. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blaine has also added Gym Trainers and a puzzle to his Gym, unlike in [[Generation II]], where he stood alone in a small cave.

 

In {{B2W2}}, Blaine, along with his fellow Kanto Gym Leaders, participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He can be faced in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament|Kanto Leaders]], [[World Leaders Tournament|World Leaders]], and [[Type Expert Tournament]]s.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first met a disguised Blaine while they looked for the [[Cinnabar Gym]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''. Prior to the episode, Blaine was forced to close the Cinnabar Gym after the island became a tourist destination because of its hot springs and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were no longer interested. He went on to open the Big Riddle Inn to cash in on the tourist trade. After {{an|Misty}} solved Blaine's riddles, Ash and his friends stayed at Blaine's hotel during their time on [[Cinnabar Island]].

Blaine alerted Ash and his friends to {{TRT}}'s attack on the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] after he received a phone call. After the group defeated the trio, Blaine, still in disguise, revealed that he operated a Gym "in a place where no firefighter could win". Solving the riddle, the group discovered Blaine's secret Gym, located inside the Cinnabar Volcano, after [[Misty's Togepi]] accidentally jumped on one of the hot spring's tap fixtures and revealed a secret entryway.

In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', Ash forfeited the battle when Pikachu nearly fell into the Gym's boiling magma. Afterwards, Team Rocket broke into the Cinnabar Gym and attempted to steal Magmar by freezing it with ice projectile guns. Though Magmar broke free, the sudden cooling of the walls in the lava cave caused the rock to crack, triggering a volcanic eruption. Blaine, Ash, and his friends were forced to use their {{t|Water}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to block the cracks with boulders.

During the crisis, Charizard and Magmar gained an interest in each other's strength, and wished to test it in battle. Blaine agreed to a [[rematch]] with Ash, but due to the internal damage of the volcano, it was held on top of the volcanic crater. At first, Magmar and Charizard were evenly matched, but Charizard's ability to fly eventually gave it an advantage. It lifted Magmar high into the air and used {{m|Seismic Toss}}, slamming Magmar into the volcano and knocking it out, earning Ash the victory.

Blaine likes to make up riddles and use puns even in inappropriate situations. Even so, he is a stern opponent and takes his role as [[Gym Leader]] very seriously. He values a keen challenger and makes sure they truly earn their {{Badge|Volcano}} in {{pkmn|battle}}. He has crafted his battle strategy around his Gym's volcanic location, which suits his {{t|Fire}} Pokémon against its biggest weakness, {{t|Water}} Pokémon. The searing heat can also exhaust and overwhelm a challenger.

This listing is of Blaine's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

|img=Blaine Ninetales.png

|epname=Riddle Me This

|vajp=Shin-ichiro Miki

|vaen=Rachael Lillis

|desc={{p|Ninetales}} was Blaine's first Pokémon used in his {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}. Despite its beautiful looks, Ninetales proved to be an incredibly powerful Pokémon, knocking out [[Ash's Squirtle]] with a single attack. Ninetales was recalled when Ash sent out his {{AP|Charizard}}.

Ninetales's only known move is {{m|Fire Spin}}.}}

|desc=After {{Ash}} chose {{AP|Charizard}} in his {{pkmn|battle}}, Blaine countered it by choosing {{p|Rhydon}}. Charizard refused to fight the {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, so Rhydon went up against {{AP|Pikachu}} in its place. Blaine doubted the {{type|Electric}} could defeat Rhydon, but Ash encouraged Pikachu to use Rhydon's horn as a conductor of electricity that quickly caused its defeat.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}.}}

|img=Blaine Magmar.png

|desc={{p|Magmar}} is Blaine's final Pokémon and his powerhouse. In the first battle, Magmar easily defeated Ash's {{p|Pikachu}}. After the battlefield was wrecked because of {{TRT}}'s icy attack, Magmar and [[Ash's Charizard]] ended up gaining a respect for each other and wanted to test their strengths against one another. This was done in Ash's [[rematch]] with Blaine on top of Cinnabar's volcano. However, despite Magmar's powerful attacks including {{m|Fire Blast}}, Charizard managed to come out on top.}}

Blaine appeared briefly in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. He was seen being challenged to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} and defeated by {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, earning the young Trainer the {{badge|Volcano}}, much to Blaine's distress.

|epname=File 3: Giovanni

|desc={{p|Arcanine}} is Blaine's only known Pokémon. It was used in his Gym battle against {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, but was defeated.

None of Arcanine's moves are known.}}

Blaine briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

[[File:Erika Blaine Adventures.png|240px|thumb|Blaine in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Blaine also works as a Pokémon ecologist.

Blaine debuted in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]''. He was first seen discussing the creation of {{adv|Mewtwo}} with [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]] at the [[Team Rocket Hideout]]. When Blaine noted the genetic material Team Rocket acquired from {{adv|Mew}}'s cells wouldn't be enough to fully complete Mewtwo's body, Ken suggested they attempt to capture Mew to obtain more.

In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', Red arrived on [[Cinnabar Island]], where he found several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s attacking Blaine. With Red's help, Blaine escaped his pursuers, only for the Grunts to send a {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Moltres}} after them. Choosing to stay behind and keep Moltres busy, Blaine had his {{p|Rapidash}} take Red to his secret laboratory, where he used a machine to revive his [[Old Amber]] into a living {{p|Aerodactyl}}. With his new team member, [[Aero]], Red managed to wound Moltres, forcing the Grunts to recall it and flee.

In ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', Blaine found Red in battle with Mewtwo in front of [[Cerulean Cave]]. After rescuing him from one of Mewtwo's attacks, Blaine revealed that he managed to complete Mewtwo's body by adding some of his human cells into it. Some of Mewtwo's cells also entered Blaine's body as well, linking the two and giving Blaine the ability to track Mewtwo's whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Red used the [[Master Ball]] he borrowed from Blaine to catch Mewtwo, defeating it. Afterward, Blaine apologized for Mewtwo's violent behavior, stating it was born from only being exposed to cruelty of humans. Red suggested Blaine atone by showing Mewtwo compassion as a way of helping it change for the better.

In ''[[PS047|Purrrr-sian]]'', Blaine received a call from [[Erika]], who asked that he come help her and {{adv|Yellow}} battle {{adv|Miles}}, a {{tc|Super Nerd}} that had disguised himself as Red, who had gone missing. Along with [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], Blaine traveled to [[Celadon City]], where they and Erika cornered Miles, preventing him from escaping and giving Yellow the opportunity to knock Miles unconscious. Afterward, Blaine apologized to Misty for the crimes he committed on her Pokémon during his time in Team Rocket. With his {{p|Growlithe}}, Blaine detected some of Red's scent on Miles's body and found out his last known location was on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PS064|Putting It on the Line...Against Arcanine]]'', Yellow made it to Cinnabar Island. She found {{tc|Camper}} [[Evan]] helping Blaine train together with Mewtwo. Blaine later received a call from Brock, who had gone to Mt. Moon to search for Red, only to find a broken shell of ice in the shape of Red's body. Their call was interrupted by Misty, who informed everyone that an army of the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon had begun attacking various cities around [[Kanto]]. Blaine revealed that after some investigating, he discovered the Elite Four's base of operations was on [[Cerise Island]]. He sent Yellow to the island first, noting that it'd be more advantageous to enter the island from different directions. Later, after arriving on the island, Blaine encountered {{adv|Blue}} as well as his former Team Rocket allies: [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]].

In ''[[PS070|Allied by Alakazam!]]'', Yellow, {{adv|Green}}, and {{adv|Bill}} arrived on the island and joined the others. The evil Gym Leaders revealed they came to defeat the Elite Four and suggested everyone work together to take down their common foe. With her [[Spoons of Destiny]], Sabrina split everyone into four groups of two that would face one Elite Four member each. Blaine and Yellow were partnered together against [[Lance]].

In ''[[PS079|Airing Out Aerodactyl]]'', Lance revealed himself to Blaine and Yellow. Hoping to measure Lance's strength, Blaine stepped up to battle him alone. With Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}} constructs, Blaine shattered the [[Ultra Ball]]s on Lance's belt, hoping to prevent him from using his other Pokémon. Left exhausted from battling with Mewtwo for too long, Blaine passed out. His and Mewtwo's efforts were in vain, as Lance'a remaining Pokémon were already out of their [[Poké Ball]]s and ready to fight. Mewtwo tried to keep battling, but retreated back into its Ball to ensure Blaine's safety.

In ''[[PS090|The Legend]]'', after the Elite Four were defeated, Blaine returned to the Kanto mainland with Yellow and the others. He and the other good Gym Leaders worked together to repair the damages caused by the Elite Four's army.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====

In ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', the Kanto and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders gathered at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. They took part in an exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League's opening ceremonies. Blaine was paired up against [[Clair]] in the seventh round.

In ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]'', Blaine was approached by {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Entei}}, who had been searching for someone to command it in battle. Blaine agreed on the condition that Entei used its special flames on him. With its Flames of Life, Entei burned the Mewtwo cells in Blaine's body away, curing him of his life-threatening disease. Sensing their connection was severed, Mewtwo left Cinnabar and flew off to parts unknown. Blaine's match with Clair was postponed while he recovered from the effects of Entei's healing.

In ''[[PS165|Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose, Part 1]]'', the [[Masked Man]] launched an attack on the Pokémon League. The Gym Leaders all teamed up to battle the Masked Man's army of Grunts. The battle led everyone onboard the [[Magnet Train]], which was a diversion to transport the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. Clair realized the Grunts were under mind control and blamed Blaine, noting his frequent absences as evidence. She used the opportunity to have her exhibition match with Blaine. Clair tried interrogating Blaine on the whereabouts of Lance, who went missing after the battle on Cerise Island. With Entei's power, Blaine easily fended off Clair's attacks and defeated her. He then reassured Clair, stating his belief that Lance is still alive somewhere.

In ''[[PS169|The Last Battle III]]'', Blaine, Misty, and Lt. Surge teamed up to confront the Masked Man. By combining Entei, {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}, and {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Raikou}}'s strength, they overpowered the Masked Man's {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}} and {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}} before having Suicune trap the man himself between its Crystal Wall. Revealing his body to be fake, the Masked Man broke free and knocked Suicune unconscious, leaving Misty stuck inside the Crystal Wall. Misty was later freed by [[Eusine]], but she, Blaine, and Lt. Surge were left too injured to continue battling, forcing the Suicune, Entei, and Raikou to chase after the Masked Man.

In ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', after the Masked Man's defeat, Blaine resumed his duties as Gym Leader. As Blaine won his battle with Clair, the Kanto Gym Leaders were declared the victors of the exhibition tournament.

[[File: Blaine XY chapter.png|150px|thumb|Blaine in the twelfth chapter]]

In ''[[PS295|Double Down Deoxys]]'', Blaine was visited by Evan and Miles. He noted the scars created from his separation from Mewtwo have begun aching. Blaine speculated it was due to Mewtwo sensing that Mew may be returning to Kanto.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Blaine was revealed to have gone to the [[Kalos]] region, where he studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. He later reunited with and re-caught Mewtwo at the [[Pokémon Village]]. One day, while getting food in a nearby town, Blaine was sent flying by the [[ultimate weapon]]'s blast. The [[Battle Chatelaine]] sisters found Blaine's unconscious body and took him to the [[Battle Maison]] to recover from his injuries. After some time passed, Blaine left for the Pokémon Village, which had been infiltrated by [[Team Flare]].

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Blaine arrived at the village, where he helped Mewtwo battle [[Lysandre]] by [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] it. Blaine and Mewtwo's bond gave Mewtwo the unique ability to Mega Evolve more than once per battle, allowing it to switch between its X and Y forms when needed. This bond also meant Mewtwo received any damage dealt to Blaine, a weakness Lysandre exploited by having {{adv|Zygarde}} attack the surrounding area with {{m|Land's Wrath}}. With Key Stones borrowed from his allies, {{adv|X}} simultaneously Mega Evolved his five capable Pokémon and used them against Zygarde. Lysandre retaliated with his own Pokémon, only for them to be taken out by Mewtwo and Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. After Lysandre was defeated, Blaine checked the man's wounds, confirming he was still alive but suffered heavy damage to his spinal area

In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', Blaine and Blue talked to [[Professor Sycamore]] about the final battle with Team Flare. They noted being watched by a small green creature that appeared after Zygarde's defeat. Sycamore dubbed the creature a Zygarde Cell and noted similar creatures being seen in the [[Alola]] region and sent his assistants, [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]], to investigate.

Although Blaine is serious for most situations, he also had his comical moments. Blaine had his mustache burnt when he was training and had to use fake ones. Sometimes, he may also use riddles to lighten up the dark atmosphere.

This listing is for Blaine's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

|desc={{p|Rapidash}} is Blaine's mode of transportation. He first used it to battle the {{p|Moltres}} that Team Rocket had captured with little success, and had it help Red reach his laboratory, where an {{p|Aerodactyl}} could be resurrected from the [[Old Amber]] he had acquired earlier.

Eventually, Red caught word of it and reached the cave out of curiosity before nearly being killed in its {{m|Psywave|psychic tornado}}. Blaine made a valiant attempt to kill it at all costs, knowing that if he, the only one with the ability to function as a "Mewtwo Radar" was defeated, the world could come to an end. Although this succeeded in eliminating its tornado, the mutant itself still survived, only to be caught with a Master Ball that was thrown by Red in an ingenious maneuver. Mewtwo then went on to be a trained Pokémon belonging to Blaine and fought against [[Lance]] in the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}, though Blaine's failing health held it back from winning. After it was released a year later, it partnered up with Red much later on to free {{adv|Deoxys}} from {{adv|Giovanni}}'s hands. In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, Blaine was revealed to have reunited with and re-caught Mewtwo.}}

Blaine was chosen by {{p|Entei}} to be partnered up for his extensive knowledge of the {{type|Fire}}.

{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} meet Blaine in ''[[PM024|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Quiz Battle!!]]'' while entering a building similar to a Chinese food restaurant. Inside the building, Blaine challenges Red to a Pokémon Quiz. As Red got the quiz wrong, Blaine ends up penalizing him and sends out his Pokémon for each question answered incorrectly. Blaine reappears in ''[[PM054|The Pokémon Banana League (Part 1)]]'' where he lends Red a {{p|Meowth}}.

[[File:Blaine Zensho.png|thumb|200px|Blaine in Pokémon Zensho]]

Blaine appeared in ''[[PZ08|Cinnabar Island]]''. He tells Satoshi about his Gym on Cinnabar. Satoshi meets up with him and they have a battle. Blaine uses Arcanine and Satoshi uses Charmeleon which results in Satoshi winning the battle. As a result, his Charmeleon starts to evolve into a Charizard. Blaine explains that he was in Seafoam Islands and his Fire Pokémon were hurt. While he was there, he remembers seeing Articuno fly away. Blaine uses his Charizard to capture the Articuno that has been flying around the island.
