He is the son of [[Team Rocket]] [[Boss]] [[Giovanni]], and was long speculated as such due to the reference made toward Giovanni's red-haired child in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as his {{spe|Silver|Pokémon Special counterpart}} also being Giovanni's son. His connection to Giovanni was finally revealed via an event in HeartGold and SoulSilver activated by taking a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} to the shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]. | |||

Silver | Silver first appears in the [[Generation II]] games, lurking outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. During the player's journey to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining [[starter Pokémon]] (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of [[Cherrygrove City]], battling to get through. | ||
Silver shows a strong dislike of Team Rocket, vowing to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a {{p|Sneasel}} from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]] and, while {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Kotone}} attempts to take down Team Rocket in [[Mahogany Town]] and [[Goldenrod City]], interferes to prove himself. It is in the Mahogany hideout that he meets with [[Lance]], [[Champion]] of the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]], whose words begin to set him straight. By the time the player reaches the Indigo Plateau him or herself, Silver realizes that Lance was right, and battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer, finally. He uses a {{p|Crobat}} during this battle, illustrating that he finally is able to show love towards his Pokémon as partners and friends, not as tools. | |||
After the Elite Four has been defeated and the player becomes the Champion, Silver can be found training on Tuesday and Thursday in the [[Dragon's Den]], and will appear at the Indigo Plateau on Monday and Wednesday to challenge the player, should he or she appear. He does not appear at all on the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Lance and [[Clair]] will sometimes appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a [[tag battle]]. | |||
Giovanni and Silver's relationship is revealed in HeartGold and SoulSilver if the player brings a promotional {{p|Celebi}} to the [[Ilex Shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]].

Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from them failing his father. | ||
