Jimmy battled a Trainer named Shinji, using his Typhlosion against Hitmonlee. Despite the latter dealing strong blows, he was defeated by Typhlosion's Flamethrower. The boys exchanged their Pokégear numbers before departing. Jimmy went to the Pokémon Center to have Typhlosion healed. He decided to rest a bit and groom Typhlosion, since the next town was quite far away. Jimmy suddenly noticed Marina talking with Vincent over the phone. When Marina found out that Jimmy was there, she stopped talking to Vincent, wanting to talk to her crush instead. Their conversation started amicably, beginning with them talking about their journeys. Marina asked Jimmy for his Pokégear number, to which Jimmy didn't want to share, since he was not the type to be calling other people.
Marina, however, took Jimmy's indifference as a result, since she dressed herself up as a supermodel. Still, he noticed she wanted to become an actress. Marina offered to recite a poem, but Jimmy refused. It made Marina think Jimmy had a crush on her, but he refused to admit that. Still, Marina reminded the importance of training for her performance, to keep people and Pokémon happy. Jimmy, however, wanted to grow stronger to teach kids back home how to become a Pokémon Trainer, to which Marina believed he had to become stronger than even Lance, the Champion. She showed him a notebook depicting Lance, wanting to work together with him to become famous. Jimmy reminded that being a star and a Trainer were two different goals.
Marina doubted that, and to back up her claim, she challenged him to a battle. During their battle, Marina's Misdreavus got spooked by a stray lightning bolt and fled into the nearby forest. When Jimmy chased her, he found out that criminals from Team Rocket, named Attila and Hun, were trying to capture the legendary Pokémon Raikou, to which previously they didn't believe it to be real. To prevent them from catching Raikou, Jimmy sent Typhlosion to defend it. [1] Marina supported Jimmy, as she sent Little Miss to attack with Psybeam. As Little Miss used Perish Song, Marina went to tend to her, due to that being a recoil move. As Team Rocket dispersed, Jimmy and Marina took Raikou to the Pokémon Center.
Later, Marina visited Jimmy, who was sad about Raikou's critical condition. Marina stated that life was too short to be gloomy, and gave him a drink. Jimmy explained that Raikou was recovering, while Marina complemented him and Typhlosion for looking cool during the battle. Suddenly, Eusine arrived, fascinated to witness Raikou. Marina became fascinated by Eusine, who pointed out that Raikou could've hurt Jimmy, as it didn't trust humans. However, Jimmy felt that it could recognize its allies and enemies. The next day, Raikou escaped from the center, nearly attacking Jimmy, who reminded it had not fully recovered yet. To catch up with it, Marina and Jimmy went with Eusine into the latter's car, finding Raikou to be attacked by Team Rocket once more.
As Team Rocket ignored Jimmy and Marina, the two sent their Pokémon out to battle, until Steelix went to use Rock Throw on them. In that moment, Vincent arrived, having his Meganium use Solar Beam to shatter the rocks. Due to Raikou's energy being absorbed by a crystal, the three had their Pokémon strike the crystal. However, the crystal shell was destroyed, causing Raikou to be landed on Marina. Team Rocket grabbed the opportunity to kidnap both of them. Jimmy became frustrated that the enemy had captured Raikou. [2]
Vincent started to panic about Marina's disappearance, even after Jimmy tried to calm him down. To rescue Marina, Jimmy asked of Vincent to call her through the Pokégear. Marina received the call, but was pushed away by Attila. Vincent swore he would defeat them soon, but Attila shouted through the Pokégear before smashing it. Despite this, Vincent, Jimmy and Eusine managed to find Marina's location, and took Eusine's car to reach that location, using Jimmy's Beedrill to find Marina's whereabouts. Upon encountering Hun and Attila again, Vincent became furious, but was held down by Jimmy, as they asked of the enemy to release Raikou and Marina. As Raikou reappeared, Jimmy's Beedrill went to rescue Marina, but was hit by Attila's Skarmory. Vincent managed to easen her fall, and was annoyed that she only praised Jimmy about it.
Despite their warnings, Raikou remained to battle Team Rocket, making Jimmy think it wanted to repay them because they helped it escape earlier. Since Team Rocket used a giant crystal to absorb Raikou's energy, Jimmy, Marina and Vincent sent their Pokémon out to weaken it. Team Rocket sent their Pokémon to battle the Trainers, nearly even hitting them, until Raikou used its electricity to distract Steelix and Skarmory. The crystal was weakened enough for Raikou to destroy it and release itself, causing Team Rocket to flee. Vincent, Jimmy and Marina turned to Raikou, thanking it for rescuing them, who fled into the wilderness. Jimmy swore never to forget Raikou. [3]

He has very thick eyebrows and square eyes. In his role as an Elite Four member, he also wears black gloves with what appears to be a gray compass-like pattern engraved on them. He also carries a suitcase with him.
His preference for Normal -types is reflected in his very generic and square appearance, indicating that he is very formal in what he does, just as Normal types have nothing remarkable about them. Incidentally, his bird-like hairstyle and cloud-print tie and unusually piercing gaze also reflect/hint at his Flying-type coverage and how he does use them as a secondary preferred type. That and his suitcase implies that he travels a lot, something associated with flying airplanes usually. His hair and expression vaguely resembles a combination of Pidgeot's hair and Staraptor's face, further foreshadowing his flying -type affinity.

Larry constantly works overtime as a salaryman and is often left completely drained of energy as a result.

Although mostly having a morose outlook on life, Larry does have a huge appetite, always frequenting the Treasure Eatery of Medali inside his Gym.

He is Sonia's friend, and accompanied her during their Gym Challenge. After her loss, Leon became sad as he worried about her, but carried on and became a Champion.

According to Mai , Melli was shier and more withdrawn as a child, until he one day announced that he would work hard to help Adaman, though judging by his conceit he appears to have worked hard to extremes.

Pokémon

Paul has mid-length purple hair that has one big strand hanging over the middle of his face, small dark eyes and he almost never smiles, except for the occasional smirk and a small chuckle whenever he deals with Ash Ketchum .
He wears a purple jacket with navy blue sleeves, a blue undershirt, dark purple pants and purple and navy sneakers with white soles.

Paul is perceived as a grumpy, cold, callous, cantankerous, abusive, grim, heartless, merciless, rude, mean, and rather arrogant Trainer, who has no interest in being friends with anybody (especially not his Pokémon ) and simply sees his Pokémon as tools to win battles and often not caring if they are hurt. These actions of his was because due to Pyramid King Brandon who defeated Paul's older brother, Reggie .
He is often annoyed and exasperated by Ash Ketchum 's actions, advice to treat his Pokémon nicely and tendency to act like a child to the point that Paul seems to barely see their rivalry. He dislikes Ash's philosophies such as friendship and trust because he believes that they are a sign of weakness, and he also dislikes training Pokémon hard to get stronger, preferring to only train ones that are naturally strong. Paul rarely shows any emotions, especially not positive ones, and this affects his dealings with his Pokémon, which can be very harsh. However, some occasions, he has been shown to lose his temper. One example was when he let his anger get out of control during his battle with Brandon when he wasn't able to beat Brandon's Pokémon.
Although Paul maintained a bitter rivalry with Ash for the duration of the Sinnoh series, his hatred of Ash as a person (rather than as a Trainer ) peaked at the end of the first season of the Diamond and Pearl series, where the two were forced to team up in the Hearthome City Tag Battle tournament. He treated Ash as a detriment rather than an ally, constantly telling him to stay out of his way and even having his Chimchar attack Ash's Turtwig at one point out of spite. When Paul released Chimchar and Ash subsequently caught it, he rudely told them that they deserved no better than each other: both were pathetic scum. After they won the tournament, Paul had no desire to keep the Soothe Bell prize due to his refusal to treat his Pokémon with basic decency. He gave it to Ash, but he violently threw it at Ash in a fit of anger rather than simply handing the bell over.
Despite his intense hatred of Ash, he does not necessarily wish harm on him, and helped him against Team Rocket multiple times even while he and Ash were enemies.
Paul knowingly abused his Pokémon both physically and emotionally, the prime example being Chimchar. He at one point had all of his Pokémon attack it at once in hopes of activating Blaze. He would constantly tell it that it was "worthless" and "pathetic", which left a strong negative impression on Chimchar.
While Gary Oak (Ash's previous major rival) and Trip (his next one) would directly insult Ash and call him immature names like "loser" or (in Trip's case) say he was "from the boonies", Paul would simply rudely say how poor of a Trainer Ash was. Instead of being a bully, he is only rude to Ash due to viewing him as an inferior Trainer, rather than as an inferior person like Gary and Trip. Despite this, his rivalry with Ash was overall much more bitter than Gary's and Trip's--whereas Gary and Trip simply didn't like Ash and enjoyed dissing him, Paul absolutely loathed Ash and, unlike with Trip, the feeling was mutual on Ash's part as Paul reminded Ash of Damian, the original trainer of his Charizard, a view that peaked after Paul ditched Chimchar.
Despite his seemingly cruel nature, Paul understands that he cannot treat everyone as horribly as he treats Ash, and can be polite whenever he wants to—especially towards authority figures like Cynthia , Nurse Joy , and Professor Rowan . He also can acknowledge his opponent if he considers them to be a worthy opponent as an example of this is Roark , who he was very impressed by and he also seems to think a lot of Reggie (Paul's older brother), despite once saying he had 'a big mouth'. After his defeat by Brandon, he obliged to the latter when he told him they'll have a rematch one day once he controlled his emotions.
Paul's dislike of Ash stems-at least partially-from his disappointment in Reggie. Ash is known for treating his Pokémon as friends and equals, rather than as tools, much like Reggie does. Paul blames Reggie's philosophy as the reason he lost to Brandon, and thus he sees the same parallels in Ash. While he does not hold a grudge against Reggie for this because he is family, he does hold one against Ash. He also seems to enjoy seeing Ash getting angry, one example of which is when he chuckled and said to Ash "Man, you get worked up". Paul's "catchphrase" of sorts is 'Pathetic' who tends to direct it at Ash when Ash does or says something that Paul finds irritating or childish, and does not apologize for his actions, either.
Towards the end of the saga and especially after losing the battle to Ash in the Sinnoh League, Paul seems to reform somewhat and he is shown thanking his Electivire for a good battle- something that he had never done prior to the three-part final battle. Paul was also impressed by how Chimchar (Paul's former Pokémon) had become an Infernape and developed nicely after being in Ash's care and how well Ash had trained it and admitted as such after their final Sinnoh battle. Paul then decided to return to Snowpoint City to challenge Brandon again and he bids farewell to Ash, although on more friendly terms and he also seems sad when he sees Ash lose to Tobias . Later, Paul decided to help Ash against the competitors in the Master Class when training his Pokémon by using Pokémon reflecting of his opponents (such as Gyarados of Lance, Garchomp of Cynthia and last Metagross of Steven Stone). As it turned out later, this help was also his attempt to learn more about the connection between Pokemon and trainers, since he was offered to become a Gym Leader . The interest in this activity also speaks of the redemption of his character.

The name Pryce comes from "ice".
His Japanese name, Yanagi, may come from 山羊 ( yagi , "goat" in Japanese, possibly in reference to mountain goats, whose thick fur, thick fat, and fatty, energy-storing humps help them survive in cold environments, or possibly in reference to Capricorn, a zodiac constellation depicting a goat that the sun passes through during the winter). Following the plant-based naming of most Gym Leaders, it may also include 柳 (yanagi, Japanese name for the willow tree).


Pokémon

Pryce is an bald old man with short white hair with three upper spiked fringe on front and two spikes in each sides, brown eyes and pale skinned. He usually has a displeased look on his face. Pryce supports himself with a gray cane, which has a brown top.
As Masked Man, Pryce wears a black cloak, a mask of ice with two black eyes and a black mouth, and long white locks of hair.

When he was young, Pryce was adventurous like his friends and had fun with them. However, after the death of his Lapras, Pryce became cold and very distant from his friends.
To others, Pryce will often act humble and kind to others. He often apologizes and thinks himself inferior and cowardly. But this was merely a guise to prevent people from suspecting him as being the cold and ruthless Mask of Ice. Evidence shows as the Pokémon Chairman refuses to believe Pryce to be the Masked Man.
The Masked Man was ruthless and unsympathetic. He believes that Pokémon are nothing but mere tools to help him accomplish his goals. This was shown when he tells Gold that Pokémon are weapons of war or when he used the Gyarados in the Lake of Rage as an army. The Masked Man is also manipulative, commenting that children are much easier to influence as followers.
However, during the final battle and a flashback of Silver, the Masked Man was given a more sympathetic and human side. This is shown when he showed great rage when Crystal showed surprised when Pryce committed so many misdeeds just to save his two Lapras. He said that he lied about saying Pokémon being weapons, but instead that Pokémon should be loved and nurtured for. In Silver's flashback, after Green and Silver escape, Pryce had just finished an ice sculpture of him and the children he kidnapped as a family. This shows that the Masked Man captured children partly for pure intentions.

Pryce wears a short sleeved yellow button shirt with a white collar and two white stripes on the end, some red shorts and red sandals.
In his youth, Pryce has a long layered brown hair with upper spiked fringe on front and two fringes in the center and has a fairly tan skin. He wears a blue long leather jacket with purple turtleneck underneath, pale yellow pants and reddish brown shoes. After being burned by Magmar's Fire Blast and losing his Piloswine, he wears light purple pajamas and has bandages on his neck, head and face.

Due to an incident in the past, Pryce is a grumpy man, who believed humans should not be friends with Pokémon, merely that they need discipline. After finding his Piloswine, Pryce abandoned that philosophy, as his cold personality changed into a warm one that welcomes friendships with Pokémon. Pryce's battle strategy involves freezing his opponent's Pokémon.

Pokémon

Roger has medium length yellow hair and sports thick black glasses. He wears a grey dress shirt with a green tie and suspenders.

Throughout most of the game, Roger is portrayed as a kind, calm, and openly friendly person. He is eager to meet new people, especially those he hears positive things about, as demonstrated with Tim and Pikachu. He wants to have a good relationship with his employees, going out for coffee with them and treating them like friends, even giving them the freedom to do what they want. When Max is revealed to be the one who stole Carina's violin, Roger is deeply disappointed in this revelation and having to call the police. He humbly takes compliments from others like Mr. Graham, and even gets nervous when he begins to show his more angry and bossy side.
However, in the final chapter, this is proven to be nothing more than a facade. Roger was truly a cunning and manipulative sociopath who had no compassion for those around him. At heart, he only desired power and control, with no qualms on what he had to do to get it. He is still very cautious, making sure nobody, not even his henchmen, knew his identity by contacting them via phone or letter, never showing his face. Being the one behind the R incidents, he clearly did not care who or what was hurt/destroyed for the sake of his research, even if it was one of his own staff members. Notably, he directly harms Emilia by taking her hostage to force Tim into reactivating the R machine. He is incredibly arrogant as well, remaining totally confident in himself during the final confrontation, which leads to him letting his guard down and revealing the truth behind his plans. During the aforementioned confrontation, he noted to Tim that it would be "their last conversation", implying that he was going to have him, Emilia and Pikachu killed or otherwise taken out of the way so that they couldn't reveal the truth (although the former is more likely, since he attempted to eliminate them with Noivern soon afterwards). Despite his cruelty, he seems to have a certain level of respect for Tim's detective skills, although he could be faking this too.

He possesses penetrating catlike eyes that are a deep sapphire-blue color. Siebold wears a very regal uniform; his cloak-like garments are mostly pure white, mixed with some blue patterns, similar to a garment worn by royalty.

Pokémon

Silver is a tall, slender young man with crimson red hair, pale skin, and dark eyes.

Silver is a power-hungry, intensely snobbish, greedy, cruel, callous, cunning, unsympathetic, rude, short-tempered, grouchy, and rather villainous character in the games. In Gold and Silver ( Generation II ), he steals a starter Pokémon from the lab and is extremely rude and bad-tempered toward the player character, even going so far as to physically shove them on some occasions. He later steals a Sneasel from an unknown Trainer, presumably the Pokemanic in Cinawood City, further showing his cold nature. He will occasionally challenge the player character, and will become enraged when defeated. He doesn't treat his Pokémon with respect, but rather as fighting machines to make him appear powerful and menacing with Silver vowing to take down any Trainer he regards as weak.
However, later in the game, when Silver interferes during the player character's attempt to take down Team Rocket first in Mahogany Town and later, Goldenrod City, he finds himself meeting Lance, the Champion of the Elite Four at Indigo Plateau in the Mahogany Town hideout with Silver challenging Lance to a battle. However, Lance easily defeats Silver and then proceeds to berate the young man for his way of training Pokémon with Lance stating Silver does not believe in nor trust his Pokémon. Even though Silver is left outraged at Lance's attitude, even going so far as to call the Dragon Tamer "a bleeding heart" with Silver vowing to defeat Lance by getting stronger Pokémon, he soon realizes Lance was right when the player character beats him in a battle at the Goldenrod Underground which has Silver realizing the error of his ways as he begins questioning what he has done so far while wondering if love and trust are what he lacks when it comes to treating Pokémon.
He is the son of Giovanni , the Boss of Team Rocket . However, he apparently despises Team Rocket and has a lot of hatred within him which is further shown when during a fateful encounter with Celebi in the Ilex Forest shrine in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player character and their friend are transported back to three years in the past which shows Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion, presumably at the Tohjo Falls after Red has beaten Giovanni with Silver vowing he will become stronger by himself.


Pokémon

Sophocles is a short, somewhat chubby boy with spiky orange hair and black eyes. He wears a white shirt with a design of an orange Game Boy Color on it and brown pants with orange cuffs.

The name Sophocles comes from "Sephora", a genus of trees and shrubs. The name also may be referring to the Greek tragedian Sophocles.
His Japanese name, Māmane, could come from 麻痺 (mahi, paralysis, which is often inflicted by Electric -type moves) and māmane (the Hawaiian name for the Sophora chrysophylla, a plant that is part of the Sophora genus).
