[[File:Gold Silver Chuck.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Chuck from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Chuck appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. A {{type|Fighting}} Trainer, he is known to spar with his Pokémon to train both them and himself. His in-game title is "His Roaring Fists Do the Talking". Chuck is married, but spends little time with [[Chuck's wife|his wife]]. She isn't too fond of this, and spends her time standing outside the Gym, perhaps waiting in hope that he will come home.

Chuck is married, but spends little time with [[Chuck's wife|his wife]]. She isn't too fond of this, and spends her time standing outside the Gym, perhaps waiting in hope that he will come home.


Chuck's Gym is very different between the two generations it has appeared. In [[Generation II]], once challengers have made their way through his Gym, Chuck will attempt to intimidate them before battle by telling how his Pokémon "will crush stones and shatter bones." He then lifts and tosses a boulder prior to accepting the challenge. In [[Generation IV]], Chuck awaits his challengers underneath a large waterfall. He will not notice the player approach him until the water under which he has been meditating stops flowing.

He will not notice the {{player}} approach him until the water under which he has been meditating stops flowing.


Chuck enjoys a good battle, but after losing he vows to train 24 hours a day. After he is defeated, his wife will give the player {{HM|02|Fly}}, which the successful Trainer will now be able to use outside of battle. She also comments that she is grateful that her husband would be doing more training, since he was getting "a little chubby". In addition to the {{Badge|Storm}}, Chuck gives out {{TM|01|DynamicPunch}} in Generation II ({{m|Focus Punch}} in Generation IV).

She also comments that she is grateful that her husband would be doing more training, since he was getting "a little chubby". In addition to the {{Badge|Storm}}, Chuck awards [[TM01]] (which is {{m|Dynamic Punch}} in Generation II or {{m|Focus Punch}} in Generation IV).


Chuck can be found in his Gym most of the time, but on Sundays the player can have their [[Photography|picture taken]] with him in the northwestern corner of [[Johto Route 47|Route 47]] (just south of where the [[White Flute]] is found). Because of his punishing training schedule, his phone number can be obtained not from him, but from his wife. If the player calls him on a Wednesday night, Chuck will travel to [[Saffron City]] to battle with an enhanced team in the [[Fighting Dojo]].

Chuck also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only time he can be fought using Pokémon not of the {{type|Fighting}}; his second six-Pokémon team in this game is actually composed of only two Fighting-type Pokémon.

[[File:Chuck anime.png|thumb|220px|Chuck in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
As revealed in ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]'', Chuck once traveled to the [[Galar]] [[region]] to study Galar karate, where he met a young [[Bea]], who was the daughter of one of the karate teachers.


* After being defeated
In addition to being the [[Cianwood City]] [[Gym Leader]], Chuck takes on students and trains them to handle {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. [[Kiyo]] and [[Brawly]], [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]]'s Gym Leader and another Fighting-type specialist, both studied under Chuck.
:''"Hmm... I lost? How about that! All right. You're worthy of the Storm Badge!"''


:''"The Storm Badge lets your Pokémon {{m|Fly}} to any city or town you've already been to! Here, take this, too!"''
=====[[Original series]]=====
Chuck debuted in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first noticed Chuck as he sparred alongside his {{p|Machoke}} on a Cianwood beach. The group rushed to his side after they witnessed him being thrown by Machoke, though Chuck was unfazed and had them march to the [[Cianwood Gym]] before officially introducing himself as the Gym Leader.


:''"That is {{m|Focus Punch}}. It doesn't land if the foe you're attacking hits you first, but it's very powerful if it manages to hit!"''
After a meal, Chuck agreed to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. He sent out his {{p|Poliwrath}}, and it quickly defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} in the first round. Ash next used {{AP|Bayleef}}, who defeated both Poliwrath and Machoke with her {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}} attacks, earning him the {{Badge|Storm}}.


:''Wahahah! I enjoyed battling you! But a loss is a loss! From now on, I'm going to train 24 hours a day!"''
After defeating Chuck, Ash was planning on challenging [[Olivine Gym]]'s [[Jasmine]], but [[Janina]] informed him that Jasmine was still not up to battling because of her concerns for [[Amphy|Sparkle]]. Chuck recommended that Ash and his friends visit the nearby [[Whirl Islands]], and even gave them a card to pay for their ship fares. The following day, the group boarded a ship destined for the Whirl Islands. Chuck and his [[Chuck's wife|wife]] waved goodbye to them from a Cianwood pier.


=====[[Fighting Dojo]]=====
He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.
* Before battle
:''"There you are! Taste my 24-hour training!"''


* After being defeated
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
:''"Wahaha! A battle with you is never boring!"''
[[File:Chuck JN.png|thumb|250px|Chuck in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Chuck reappeared in a flashback in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]'', when Brawly revealed he was one of his students. Chuck reappeared in another flashback in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]'', where [[Scott]] revealed that Chuck and Brawly were [[Greta]]'s idols.


=====[[Pokégear]] Phone=====
=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
:''For registering his number, see [[Chuck's wife]]''
Chuck, now wearing his {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} attire, reappeared in ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]''. He was having a training battle with Bea and her {{p|Grapploct}} with his Poliwrath in a training match, when Ash visited his Gym for a [[World Coronation Series]] [[rematch]] against Bea. Chuck, recognizing Ash from their Gym battle, watched the match from the sidelines alongside [[Goh]]. Afterwards he prepared a dessert picnic to commemorate the draw result.


* Calling the player:
====Character====
:''"Yo! Chuck here! What's up? You know, I'm just going to say this once, but I... I really like sweets. They're the best. After training every day, the thing that I absolutely look forward to more than anything is sneaking behind my wife's back to eat something sweet. Fortunately, I haven't been packing on too many pounds... Oh! Don't tell my wife! Please!"''
Chuck actively trains with his Pokémon and uses himself as a decoy to test their strengths. He pushes them to perform their best and feeds them enormous amounts of power food to maintain their muscle. Chuck has raised his Pokémon to be focused and calm, making them tough opponents in {{pkmn|battle}}.


:''"Yo! Chuck here! What's up? You know, I spend a lot of time training under a pounding waterfall every day. I guess that's why I’ve been disagreeing with my wife a lot lately. I was thinking of taking her on a trip as an apology, but I can't think of any good places to go. ...That's it! I should take her to Tohjo Falls! What do you think?"''
Even though he is a {{t|Fighting}} master, Chuck gets tired easily due to his body shape. His [[Chuck's wife|wife]] repeatedly makes fun of him for this. He is also optimistic and burning with enthusiasm. In addition, Chuck has a tendency to break out into tears whenever he is overjoyed with his Pokémon and their progress.


:''"Lately my Gym's waterfall device has been malfunction... Aaaaahh!Boomwhooshoowhooshoowhooshoowhooshoowhooshoowhooshoowhooshoowhooshoowhoosh...! ...Haa haaa haaaa. Sorry. While I was on the phone with you, the device broke and I just got doused with water. I'll call you back once things have calmed down a bit here!"''

* Calling him:
:''"Hello?! Oh, hey, sorry for shouting! I’m doing great! You know there're some stronger Gym Leaders around. Don't lose heart! Keep going!"''
:''"Hello?! Oh, hey, sorry for shouting! I’m doing great! Let’s see... I’m free most Wednesday nights. Give me a call then, OK?"''
 
* On Wednesday nights:
:''"Hello?! Oh, hey, sorry for shouting! I’m doing great! Oh hey! I just finished training. Do you want to battle again?"''
::No: ''"Noooooo! That’s terrible!"''
::Yes:''"All right! I’ll be waiting over at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City!"''
 
:''"Hello?! Oh, hey, sorry for shouting! I’m doing great! I’ll be waiting at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. Look forward to it!"''
 
=====[[Cliff Edge Gate]]=====
:''"Hey, <player>! Good to see you again! But I never expected to see you around here. Could it be… that you are on the way to the Embedded Tower? The Embedded Tower is a huge tower piercing the sky. It is said to have something to do with the mythical Pokémon that stretched the seas and that Pokémon that widened the lands. But the tower no longer is standing."''
:''"The way to the Embedded Tower is harder than you can imagine. You need Rock Climb as well as Surf."''
:''"I see! So you’ve defeated all the Gym Leaders in Kanto as well! Then there’s nothing to worry about. Believe in yourself and walk your path. Yahaha!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Chuck anime.png|thumb|230px|Chuck in the anime]]
Chuck made his only {{pkmn|anime}} appearance in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met a man roughhousing with a {{p|Machoke}}. After following him, Ash discovered that the man was Chuck, [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. Even though he is the Fighting master, he gets tired easily as he is a little fat. His {{TP|Chuck|wife}} continually makes fun of him because of this. He is positive-minded and emotional and has a tendency to break out into tears if happy. His battle technique is to battle with his Pokémon to improve their concentration. 
 
Later, Chuck and Ash had their battle for a Storm Badge. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}} who got defeated by Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}. Ash then used {{AP|Bayleef}} who defeated both Poliwrath and Machoke.
 
It was later revealed that [[Brawly]], the [[Dewford Town]] Gym Leader, used to be one of the many students of Chuck.

|desc={{p|Machoke}} is Chuck's main Pokémon and a close friend of his. They first appeared {{pkmn|training}} together on a beach. During {{Ash}}'s [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with him, Chuck used Machoke as his second Pokémon against [[Ash's Bayleef]]. Though Machoke proved to be a challenging opponent with its Submission attack and gave Bayleef trouble in a {{m|Vine Whip}} {{wp|tug of war}}, Bayleef ultimately succeeded in enduring Machoke's attacks and defeating it, earning Ash the victory.


Machoke made its appearance in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''. Chuck and Machoke have a close bond of friendship with one another. This can be seen when both of them cry and hug each other when they are happy. They fight with each other often to improve their concentration in battles; they use this technique even before important matches.
It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.


Chuck used Machoke against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bayleef}} in a Gym battle. With a powerful {{m|Submission}} attack, Machoke almost defeated Bayleef, but with Ash's support, Bayleef won the match.

Poliwrath dodged Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack three times until it was hit by the fourth one. It then managed to hold off Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}}, focusing its energy and then using {{m|DoubleSlap}}, knocking Pikachu out.


Ash then chose {{p|Bayleef}}, and Chuck issued Poliwrath to use {{m|Water Gun}}, which Bayleef dodged.

Chuck ordered Poliwrath to focus its energy, and while Poliwrath was wobbling, trying to stand up straight, Bayleef used {{m|Body Slam}} to defeat Poliwrath.
Poliwrath reappeared in ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]'', where it battled [[Bea]] and her {{p|Grapploct}} in a training match. It later watched her [[World Coronation Series]] rematch against Ash.

[[File:Chuck and Whitney.png|thumb|225px|Chuck and his Hitmontop (left) with [[Whitney]] and her Miltank (bottom)]]
[[File:Whitney Chuck Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Chuck in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Chuck taught {{adv|Blue}} martial arts and how to train Pokémon when the boy was very young.
[[File:Chuck HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|170px|left|Chuck in the ninth chapter]]
[[File:Chuck HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|100px|left|Chuck in the ''HG/SS'' chapter]]
Chuck is a martial arts master.
He initially was training for a battle with [[Walker]] in his first appearance in {{PAV|10}}, but found that he was too late. He then noticed something amiss when he found his sandbags and Walker's jacket slashed, but then he met {{p|Suicune}}, and with help from Walker. He figured out that it was the cause of the jacket and sandbags and attempted to catch it with Walker, but to no avail as previous Gym Leaders such as [[Clair]] had tried to do.


Three volumes later, as fate would have it, Chuck would find himself facing the very disciple he himself raised in the opening ceremony of the [[Indigo League]], and after a tough fight, his {{p|Hitmontop}} fell to Blue's [[Blue (Adventures)#Rhydon|Rhydon]]. Impressed with his student's progress, especially using a newly captured Pokémon he had to raise anew, Chuck acknowledged Blue as a Gym Leader worthy of his title.  
====History====
=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Chuck trained {{adv|Blue}} in the ways of fighting and [[Pokémon training]] when he was a child.


Afterwards, when members of [[Team Rocket]] under the [[Masked Man]]'s command come to ambush the unsuspecting lambs of the Pokémon League, Chuck, alongside other members of the 16 Gym Leaders, fought in the [[Magnet Train]] to stop the Rockets' advances, not knowing it was a diversion.

Chuck debuts in ''[[PS124|Scrappy Skarmory]]'', where he is waiting for his friend {{adv|Walker}} to arrive so that they could battle each other. When Walker fails to show up, Chuck heads back outside to find his training equipment torn to shreds. The cause is revealed to be the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}, which Walker is currently fighting against. They team up to fight Suicune and attempt to capture it, but they fail and Suicune manages to escape.


Years later, Chuck, [[Falkner]], and [[Bugsy]] appear before {{Adv|Silver}}, where his Hitmontop once again clashed with the Rhydon it had fought with, [[Silver (Adventures)#Rhyperior|evolved]].
At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Chuck arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the sixth round, he faces off against his former student, Blue. Using the methods his teacher taught him, Blue defeats Chuck and gains another win for the Kanto Gym Leaders. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Chuck and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Chuck returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.
 
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Chuck, along with Bugsy and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the [[Ecruteak Gym]] from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When {{adv|Silver}} arrives to see Morty under [[Eusine]]'s recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. When Chuck's {{p|Hitmontop}} realizes that [[Blue's Rhyperior|Silver's Rhyperior]] is actually the evolved form of Blue's {{p|Rhydon}}, Silver reveals that he is actually a friend of Blue. Hearing this makes Chuck decide to trust Silver and allow him inside the Gym. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of {{p|Arceus}}, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.

Chuck (Japanese: シジマ Shijima) is the Gym Leader of Cianwood City's Gym, officially known as the Cianwood Gym. He specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon. Chuck gives out the Storm Badge to Trainers who defeat him.

In the core series games

Chuck appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver as the Leader of the Cianwood Gym. A Fighting-type Trainer, he is known to spar with his Pokémon to train both them and himself. His in-game title is "His Roaring Fists Do the Talking". Chuck is married, but spends little time with his wife. She isn't too fond of this, and spends her time standing outside the Gym, perhaps waiting in hope that he will come home.

Chuck's Gym is very different between the two generations it has appeared in. In Generation II, once challengers have made their way through his Gym, Chuck will attempt to intimidate them before battle by telling how his Pokémon "will crush stones and shatter bones." He lifts and tosses a boulder prior to accepting the challenge. In Generation IV, Chuck awaits his challengers underneath a large waterfall. He will not notice the player approach him until the water under which he has been meditating stops flowing.

Chuck enjoys a good battle, but after losing he vows to train 24 hours a day. After he is defeated, his wife will give the player HM02 (Fly), which the successful Trainer will now be able to use outside of battle. She also comments that she is grateful that her husband would be doing more training, since he was getting "a little chubby". In addition to the Storm Badge, Chuck awards TM01 (which is Dynamic Punch in Generation II or Focus Punch in Generation IV).

Chuck can be found in his Gym most of the time, but on Sundays the player can have their picture taken with him in the northwestern corner of Route 47 (just south of where the White Flute is found). Because of his punishing training schedule, his phone number can be obtained not from him, but from his wife. If the player calls him on a Wednesday night, Chuck will travel to Saffron City to battle with an enhanced team in the Fighting Dojo.

Chuck in the anime

History

Pre-series

As revealed in Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!, Chuck once traveled to the Galar region to study Galar karate, where he met a young Bea, who was the daughter of one of the karate teachers.

In addition to being the Cianwood City Gym Leader, Chuck takes on students and trains them to handle Fighting-type Pokémon. Kiyo and Brawly, Dewford Island's Gym Leader and another Fighting-type specialist, both studied under Chuck.

Original series

Chuck debuted in Machoke, Machoke Man!. Ash and his friends first noticed Chuck as he sparred alongside his Machoke on a Cianwood beach. The group rushed to his side after they witnessed him being thrown by Machoke, though Chuck was unfazed and had them march to the Cianwood Gym before officially introducing himself as the Gym Leader.

After a meal, Chuck agreed to a Gym battle against Ash. He sent out his Poliwrath, and it quickly defeated Pikachu in the first round. Ash next used Bayleef, who defeated both Poliwrath and Machoke with her Razor Leaf and Vine Whip attacks, earning him the Storm Badge.

After defeating Chuck, Ash was planning on challenging Olivine Gym's Jasmine, but Janina informed him that Jasmine was still not up to battling because of her concerns for Sparkle. Chuck recommended that Ash and his friends visit the nearby Whirl Islands, and even gave them a card to pay for their ship fares. The following day, the group boarded a ship destined for the Whirl Islands. Chuck and his wife waved goodbye to them from a Cianwood pier.

He reappeared in a flashback in Why? Wynaut!.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Chuck reappeared in a flashback in Brave the Wave, when Brawly revealed he was one of his students. Chuck reappeared in another flashback in Wheel of Frontier, where Scott revealed that Chuck and Brawly were Greta's idols.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Chuck, now wearing his Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver attire, reappeared in Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!. He was having a training battle with Bea and her Grapploct with his Poliwrath in a training match, when Ash visited his Gym for a World Coronation Series rematch against Bea. Chuck, recognizing Ash from their Gym battle, watched the match from the sidelines alongside Goh. Afterwards he prepared a dessert picnic to commemorate the draw result.

Character

Chuck actively trains with his Pokémon and uses himself as a decoy to test their strengths. He pushes them to perform their best and feeds them enormous amounts of power food to maintain their muscle. Chuck has raised his Pokémon to be focused and calm, making them tough opponents in battle.

Even though he is a Fighting master, Chuck gets tired easily due to his body shape. His wife repeatedly makes fun of him for this. He is also optimistic and burning with enthusiasm. In addition, Chuck has a tendency to break out into tears whenever he is overjoyed with his Pokémon and their progress.

History

Prior to Red, Green & Blue arc

Chuck trained Blue in the ways of fighting and Pokémon training when he was a child.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Chuck debuts in Scrappy Skarmory, where he is waiting for his friend Walker to arrive so that they could battle each other. When Walker fails to show up, Chuck heads back outside to find his training equipment torn to shreds. The cause is revealed to be the Legendary Pokémon Suicune, which Walker is currently fighting against. They team up to fight Suicune and attempt to capture it, but they fail and Suicune manages to escape.

At the Indigo Plateau, Chuck arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the sixth round, he faces off against his former student, Blue. Using the methods his teacher taught him, Blue defeats Chuck and gains another win for the Kanto Gym Leaders. When the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Chuck and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled Team Rocket Grunts. The fight takes them to the Magnet Train, which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Chuck returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Chuck, along with Bugsy and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the Ecruteak Gym from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When Silver arrives to see Morty under Eusine's recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. When Chuck's Hitmontop realizes that Silver's Rhyperior is actually the evolved form of Blue's Rhydon, Silver reveals that he is actually a friend of Blue. Hearing this makes Chuck decide to trust Silver and allow him inside the Gym. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of Arceus, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast.
