Blaine: Difference between revisions

{{CharInfobox

'''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]'s (later the [[Seafoam Islands]]') [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Volcano}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He is a highly intelligent man who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the volcano on Cinnabar Island has erupted, destroying the town and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]], and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar, planning to rebuild his Gym one day.

For each of his Pokémon, Blaine has two [[Super Potion]]s, using them randomly 25% of the time.

In ''[[PS165|Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose (Part 1)]]'', the [[Masked Man]] launched an attack on the Pokémon League. The Gym Leaders all teamed up to battle the Masked Man's army of Grunts. The battle led everyone onboard the [[Magnet Train]], which was a diversion to transport the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. Clair realized the Grunts were under mind control and blamed Blaine, noting his frequent absences as evidence. She used the opportunity to have her exhibition match with Blaine. Clair tried interrogating Blaine on the whereabouts of Lance, who went missing after the battle on Cerise Island. With Entei's power, Blaine easily fended off Clair's attacks and defeated her. He then reassured Clair, stating his belief that Lance is still alive somewhere.

In [[PS590]], Blaine arrived at the village, where he helped Mewtwo battle [[Lysandre]] by [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] it. Blaine and Mewtwo's bond gave Mewtwo the unique ability to Mega Evolve more than once per battle, allowing it to switch between its X and Y forms when needed. This bond also meant Mewtwo received any damage dealt to Blaine, a weakness Lysandre exploited by having {{adv|Zygarde}} attack the surrounding area with {{m|Land's Wrath}}. With Key Stones borrowed from his allies, {{adv|X}} simultaneously Mega Evolved his five capable Pokémon and used them against Zygarde. Lysandre retaliated with his own Pokémon, only for them to be taken out by Mewtwo and Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. After Lysandre was defeated, Blaine checked the man's wounds, confirming he was still alive but suffered heavy damage to his spinal area

In [[PS594]], Blaine and Blue talked to [[Professor Sycamore]] about the final battle with Team Flare. They noted being watched by a small green creature that appeared after Zygarde's defeat. Sycamore dubbed the creature a Zygarde Cell and noted similar creatures being seen in the [[Alola]] region and sent his assistants, [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]], to investigate.

|desc={{p|Mewtwo}} was created by Blaine in a Team Rocket hideout using a small sample of {{p|Mew}}'s DNA and Blaine's own. After it was fully cultivated in the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], it went berserk and demolished the place before settling in the [[Cerulean Cave]] (where it wreaked havoc in the northwestern sector of [[Cerulean City]]). Eventually, Red caught word of it and reached the cave out of curiosity before nearly being killed in its {{m|Psywave|psychic tornado}}. Blaine made a valiant attempt to kill it at all costs, knowing that if he, the only one with the ability to function as a "Mewtwo Radar" was defeated, the world could come to an end. Although this succeeded in eliminating its tornado, the mutant itself still survived, only to be caught with a Master Ball that was thrown by Red in an ingenious maneuver. Mewtwo then went on to be a trained Pokémon belonging to Blaine and fought against [[Lance]] in the {{chap|Yellow}}, though Blaine's failing health held it back from winning. After it was released a year later, it partnered up with Red much later on to free {{adv|Deoxys}} from {{adv|Giovanni}}'s hands. In the {{chap|X & Y}}, Blaine was revealed to have reunited with and re-caught Mewtwo.}}
