'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.


==In the games==
'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is an {{wp|actor}} who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.
Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].

Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the {{player}}. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].


After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].


Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.

Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.


In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].

Brycen made his anime debut in ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'' where he and his {{p|Beartic}} saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a falling boulder. {{an|Cilan}} was the first to recognize him as a famous movie star who had the lead role in many movies up until he decided to quit acting during the filming of another movie. He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]].

Brycen debuted in ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'', where he and his {{p|Beartic}} saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a falling boulder. {{an|Cilan}} was the first to recognize him as a famous movie star who had the lead role in many movies, up until he decided to quit acting during production of another movie. He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]].


Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.

Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. It was then that he revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the [[Icirrus Gym]], surprising everyone.

It was later used to stop poacher [[Rizzo]] and his two {{p|Jellicent}}, and save the Mountain Guardian, {{p|Volcarona}}.


Beartic reappeared during Ash's Gym {{pkmn|battle}} with Brycen. It was able to easily defeat {{AP|Pignite}} despite the type disadvantage with its super-effective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks, leaving Ash with just {{AP|Krokorok}}. Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Dig}}. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}.
In ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', it was the third and final Pokémon used by Brycen during Ash's Gym {{pkmn|battle}} with him.

Brycen, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, first appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.
====History====
=====Past=====
Brycen was an action movie star that excelled in martial arts. After a serious accident, he resigned from acting and became a Gym Leader.


Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[kami trio]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture.

Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone. Brycen decides to train Black and takes him away to Icirrus City. Afterward, he took Black to the [[Tubeline Bridge]], where he had the Trainer train his team to get stronger. After Black had finished several steps, he was taken to the Icirrus Gym for his final training—a Gym battle against Brycen. After Brycen is defeated, he hands over the Light Stone to Black.

At the Pokémon League, Brycen decides to search for clues on the kidnapped Gym Leaders. After remembering that they had no memories of the kidnapping, Brycen suspects that the Pokémon League competitor [[Colress|Hood Man]] may have something to do with it due to possessing {{p|Beheeyem}}, a Pokémon that can alter memories. To help with this investigation, Brycen enlists the help of {{adv|White}}. While White investigates the League, Brycen digs down to Team Plasma's castle, where he is confronted by five of the Seven Sages. He attempts to retaliate, only to stop once he finds out that [[Hawes]] is being used as a hostage. Brycen is approached by [[Ghetsis]], who attacks and knocks him unconscious. When Team Plasma attacks the League, Brycen is held up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders. Soon after, he is freed by [[Shoko]]'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.
 
====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Two years later, Brycen is revealed to have quit being a Gym Leader to go back to acting in Pokéstar Studios. In a Brycen-Man movie, he plays the titular character and faces off against {{adv|Whitley}}, who plays the role of {{p|Foongus}} Girl. Whitley easily wins, but the battle is interrupted by [[Big Monster Series|Mecha Tyranitar]], which someone had forgotten to turn off. The Mecha Tyranitar causes havoc until {{adv|Blake}}, playing the role of {{p|Dewott}} Kid, comes in and saves the day. Afterward, Brycen talks with Whitley and Blake's teacher, [[Cheren]]. Although Brycen remembers Cheren from his Badge quest, Cheren confesses that he doesn't have any memory of anything past his adventure with Black in the Cold Storage. Brycen notes that there's a vacant Gym Leader spot in Aspertia City and suggests that Cheren take it, much to Cheren's surprise.

Brycen (Japanese: ハチク Hachiku) is an actor who is the Gym Leader of Icirrus City's Gym, known officially as the Icirrus Gym. He specializes in Ice-type Pokémon. He gives the Freeze Badge to Trainers who defeat him.

In the core series games

Brycen appears in Pokémon Black and White as the Gym Leader of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with TM79 (Frost Breath). He also reappears at N's Castle where he and the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages.

After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, Cheren and Bianca are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to Dragonspiral Tower.

Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with ZekromB/ReshiramW, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps Cedric Juniper investigate Dragonspiral Tower.

In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of Alder and became a Trainer. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the Pokémon World Tournament as a participant along with other Gym Leaders, and can be talked to at his former Gym. He also appears at Pokéstar Studios as a Movie Star, playing the roles of Brycen-Man (Japanese: ハチクマン Hachiku-man), a villain in the Brycen-Man Series, and Mecha Cop (Japanese: メカポリス MechaPolice) in the Full Metal Cop Series.

In the anime

Main series

Brycen in the anime
Brycen and his Beartic in a movie called "Enter the Beartic".

Brycen debuted in Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!, where he and his Beartic saved Ash and his friends from a falling boulder. Cilan was the first to recognize him as a famous movie star who had the lead role in many movies, up until he decided to quit acting during production of another movie. He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by hunters.

Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his Krokorok, without any good results. During the break in his training, he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore, and he explained it was because of an accident that happened onset. Nobody was hurt, but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.

Later, Brycen stopped Pokémon poacher Rizzo's attempt to capture a Volcarona by defeating his two Jellicent with his Beartic. After Officer Jenny carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to Icirrus City in order to battle the Gym Leader. It was then that he revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the Icirrus Gym, surprising everyone.

After making it to Icirrus City in Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!, Ash faced Brycen at the Icirrus Gym. In the end, Ash's Krokorok, despite being at a type disadvantage, was able to win against Beartic and secure Ash the Freeze Badge.

He reappeared in a flashback in Curtain Up, Unova League!. He also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

Character

Brycen is intensely focused on and off the battlefield. He trains in the mountains around Icirrus City to improve his physical strength and mental sharpness for his role as Gym Leader and as an action movie star. Brycen is also incredibly fit, capable of holding a handstand with ease.

Brycen's Beartic
Beartic
Brycen has a Beartic as his main Pokémon. Aside from being his battling partner, Beartic had also starred in some movies alongside him. It was first seen in Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!, training with Brycen at the mountains near Icirrus City. Initially, Iris was scared of it. It was later used to stop poacher Rizzo and his two Jellicent, and save the Mountain Guardian, Volcarona.

In Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!, it was the third and final Pokémon used by Brycen during Ash's Gym battle with him. It was able to easily defeat Pignite despite the type disadvantage with its super-effective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks, leaving Ash with just Krokorok. Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with Stone Edge and Dig. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the Freeze Badge.

As shown in An Epic Defense Force!, Beartic has its own footprint at Pokéstar Studios's Walk of Fame.

It reappeared in a flashback in Certain Up, Unova League!.

Vanillish
Vanillish was the first Pokémon Brycen used against Ash in their Gym battle. At first, Ash sent out Krokorok. However, after Krokorok had failed to land any hits on Vanillish and taken some damage, Ash recalled him and sent out Scraggy instead. Scraggy found it difficult to work properly on an icy field, and was at first unable to land any hits. He was, however, able to block Vanillish's Icicle Spear with his "pants" before firing a Focus Blast. By a stroke of luck, Focus Blast hit Vanillish from behind, and Scraggy was able to finish the Icy Snow Pokémon with a Headbutt.

Vanillish's known moves are Astonish, Icicle Spear, Blizzard, and Mirror Shot.

History

Past

Brycen was an action movie star that excelled in martial arts. After a serious accident, he resigned from acting and became a Gym Leader.

Black & White arc

Brycen, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, first appears at the Celestial Tower to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to Nacrene City to help Lenora face the Shadow Triad in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.

Brycen as Brycen-Man in the eleventh chapter

Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the Forces of Nature. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed Black to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture. Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone. Brycen decides to train Black and takes him away to Icirrus City. Afterward, he took Black to the Tubeline Bridge, where he had the Trainer train his team to get stronger. After Black had finished several steps, he was taken to the Icirrus Gym for his final training—a Gym battle against Brycen. After Brycen is defeated, he hands over the Light Stone to Black.

At the Pokémon League, Brycen decides to search for clues on the kidnapped Gym Leaders. After remembering that they had no memories of the kidnapping, Brycen suspects that the Pokémon League competitor Hood Man may have something to do with it due to possessing Beheeyem, a Pokémon that can alter memories. To help with this investigation, Brycen enlists the help of White. While White investigates the League, Brycen digs down to Team Plasma's castle, where he is confronted by five of the Seven Sages. He attempts to retaliate, only to stop once he finds out that Hawes is being used as a hostage. Brycen is approached by Ghetsis, who attacks and knocks him unconscious. When Team Plasma attacks the League, Brycen is held up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders. Soon after, he is freed by Shoko's Patrat and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

Two years later, Brycen is revealed to have quit being a Gym Leader to go back to acting in Pokéstar Studios. In a Brycen-Man movie, he plays the titular character and faces off against Whitley, who plays the role of Foongus Girl. Whitley easily wins, but the battle is interrupted by Mecha Tyranitar, which someone had forgotten to turn off. The Mecha Tyranitar causes havoc until Blake, playing the role of Dewott Kid, comes in and saves the day. Afterward, Brycen talks with Whitley and Blake's teacher, Cheren. Although Brycen remembers Cheren from his Badge quest, Cheren confesses that he doesn't have any memory of anything past his adventure with Black in the Cold Storage. Brycen notes that there's a vacant Gym Leader spot in Aspertia City and suggests that Cheren take it, much to Cheren's surprise.
