''' | '''Ethan''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒビキ}}''' ''Hibiki'') is the main {{player|playable character}} in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and is the male choice in {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In Crystal, his female counterpart is {{ga|Kris}}, while in HeartGold and SoulSilver, his female counterpart is {{ga|Lyra}}. | ||

===When selected as the player character=== | ===When selected as the player character=== | ||
Ethan's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks him to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]] on {{rt|30|Johto}}. Because he may encounter dangerous [[wild Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}. | |||
Ethan spots another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When Ethan tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. This boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Ethan's rival, analogous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]]. | |||
Ethan continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes his errand. While there he meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Ethan's bond with his new Pokémon, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On his way back home, Ethan again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, Ethan learns his name from his dropped {{ga|Trainer Card}}, and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Ethan to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and also encourages him to compete in the [[Johto League]]. | |||
Ethan begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle. | |||
After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, | After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, Ethan then journeys by [[S.S. Aqua|ship]] from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Traveling around that region, he battles against another set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Ethan heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28|Kanto}}. His journey comes to a close when, deep in Mt. Silver's cave, he faces the Champion from Pallet Town, Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}}, who had been training there since shortly after he became Pokémon League Champion [[Generation I|three]] [[Generation III|years prior]]. | ||

In this particular scene, he is seen with a {{p|Marill}}. He will always have Marill even if another [[starter Pokémon]] is selected. In addition, he doesn't appear to take the remaining starter Pokémon. His role in the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver is similar to that of {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if they are not chosen as the player character, while Lyra takes this place if he is selected as the player. He teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on {{rt|29|Johto}} (replacing the [[Dude]] from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}). | ||
While playing as Lyra, his grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. He also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}. Naturally, this role is given to Lyra if he is the player character. | While playing as Lyra, his grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}.

;[[New Bark Town]] | |||
*After the player gets a starter | |||
:''"<Player>! So you picked... a <sc>Chikorita/Cyndaquil/Totodile</sc>! That's a cute Pokémon you have! When you walk with it, it'll become more friendly. You should turn around and talk to it sometimes, too. Oh, that's right! Why don't you show it to your mom? See ya!"'' | |||
*After receiving a Master Ball from Elm | |||
:''"I wonder what a Kimono Girl wants from you..."'' | |||
:* If spoke to his Marill | |||
::''"Hmm... My Pokémon may be putting on some weight lately... | |||
:*If the player attempts to walk to Route 27 before battling Ho-Oh/Lugia | |||
::''"Hey, <player>! Where do you think you're going, <player>?"'' | |||
* In his house | |||
:* If the player hasn't yet got a starter Pokémon | |||
::''"<Player>! Professor Elm was looking for you. Did you go to his lab?"'' | |||
:* If the player has a starter Pokémon | |||
::''"My <sc>Marill</sc> is super cute... But your <sc>Chikorita/Cyndaquil/Totodile</sc> looks pretty good, too, <player>!"'' | |||
:* Later in the game (if no [[Shiny Leaf]] is present on the walking Pokémon) | |||
::''"Isn't it strange that when we are with Pokémon, going out is just so much more fun! <player>! Try going to different places and talk to your Pokémon! I bet you'll find out so many things about them!"'' | |||
;Professor Elm's lab | |||
:* After battling Silver | |||
::''"Hold on a second! She has nothing to do with it! I saw it. There was a red-haired boy looking into the building!"'' | |||
::''"<Player>! I'm glad they understand you are innocent. See you later!"'' | |||
:* After earning the Rising Badge | |||
::''"<Player>! Did you already collect eight Badges? That's so cool! The professor is waiting for you."'' | |||
::''"<Player>, people are talking about you! I heard you helped Kimono Girls? You've been helping all these people! You make me proud to be your friend."'' | |||
;[[Route 29]] | |||
::''"There you are! <Player>! You can catch wild Pokémon with Poké Balls. Follow me!"'' | |||
::''"See? Just like that! It's better to lower your target's HP more than I did, or make it sleep or something. You can try all kinds of things to see what works. I'll give you these. Good luck! See ya!"'' | |||
:* In battle | |||
::''"All right! I got its HP down! Time to throw a Poké Ball! | |||
;[[Route 31]] | |||
::''"I knew it was you, <player>! How did you get past me? Here is something neat for surprising me, <player>!"'' | |||
::''"The Vs. Recorder can record all your Pokémon battles. I have to go now! I won't let you pass me again! Come on, <sc>Marill</sc>!"'' | |||
;[[Route 34]] | |||
::''"Grandpa! Good work, Grandpa! The Pokémon you raised for me has been as healthy as can be! You look fit, too!"'' | |||
::''"Hi, <player>! Let me introduce you. This is <player>. She's a Trainer. She seems to be getting better at raising Pokémon. Well, not as good as you, Grandpa, of course! Follow me, <player>!"'' | |||
::''"Grandma! Let me introduce my friend. This is <player>!"'' | |||
::''"What? Grandma...! What are you talking about? She just happens to live nearby..."'' | |||
::''"Well, I better go now... See ya! Oh! I almost forgot! Here! This is my Pokégear number!"'' | |||
::''"You know you can talk to your Pokémon as they follow you? They do all sorts of cute stuff on the road and in towns. I'm taking notes every time they do funny things. Give me a call and I'll share some of them with you."'' | |||
::''"Grandma! Don't you say anything. We are both Trainers, and we are supposed to exchange numbers. That's all."'' | |||
;Celebi Event | |||
::*''"Hi, <player>. Have you heard of the legend of the shrine? They say that people disappear when they tamper with it."'' | |||
::*''"... What was that?"'' | |||
::*''"Where are we...? Ilex Forest has disappeared! ...That's not it. It's more like we have been transported somewhere else...? <Player>, something is strange! I heard the radio mentioning the date from three years ago!"'' | |||
::*''"Is that...am I looking at...<sc>Celebi</sc>? That explains it! <sc>Celebi</sc> must have caused all this! My grandpa once told me that <sc>Celebi</sc> can travel through time using its mystic power called Time Travel! <sc>Celebi</sc> must have taken us back in time! Literally!"'' | |||
::*''"<Player>, there is someone else here besides us! Let's go find out who!''" | |||
::*''"Who does he think he is? That was unnecessary! But what were they talking about? The revival of Team Rocket...? They say that Team Rocket was removed from the Kanto region by a child three years ago. So this really is three years ago!"'' | |||
::*''"Oh no! It's happening again...! It's <sc>Celebi</sc>'s Time Travel!"'' | |||
::*''"Huh? That's the guy we just saw arguing with that boy!"'' | |||
::*''"Three years ago...? Goldenrod City...? Could this be the one the radio was trying to reach? Giovanni, their boss? Do you hear it, <player>? The radio is saying something strange! Team Rocket has occupied the Radio Tower at Goldenrod City! It can't be! <Player>, you solved this case already!"'' | |||
::*''"They keep calling for their boss. I feel sorry they don't know he's not coming. After this, <player>, you will defeat them! ...Wait a second! <Player>, you're still here. Then, who will defeat Team Rocket...?"'' | |||
::*''"Not again...! I've had enough! Please let me go back to my time!"'' | |||
::*''"Traveling through time sure doesn't feel good."'' | |||
::*''"Hey, my <sc>Marill</sc>! I thought I would never see you again! Wait a sec... So we must be back to our time! It was all so bizarre. But now that we are safely back to our time and Team Rocker's terrible design fell through, we can say... all's well that ends well, right? <Player>, you never cease to inspire great adventures! It sure was an exhausting day, though. I better get going. See you!"'' | |||
