In the past, Pryce was a {{pkmn|Trainer}} himself. His {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} was more like family to him and helped Pryce win many {{pkmn|battle}}s. During a national competition, however, Pryce and Piloswine were defeated by a {{p|Magmar}} and left with severe {{status|burn}}s to their bodies. While the two were healing together, Piloswine walked off one night during a blizzard and left Pryce alone without explanation. Since then, Pryce had become hostile and cold towards challengers and his other Pokémon, subsequently earning himself the nickname "Icy Pryce". | In the past, Pryce was a {{pkmn|Trainer}} himself.

Pryce was unimpressed to see Ash, especially with his {{AP|Pikachu}} on his shoulder, and he sent out his Dewgong to prove that people and Pokémon can't be friends. Ash sent out his {{AP|Phanpy}}, but Dewgong {{status|frozen|froze}} it with Ice Beam. Pryce then turned down Ash's [[Gym]] challenge because he deemed him to be a weak Trainer with no strategy before walking off. | ||

He tried to guide Ash away, but the pair ended up losing their footing and fell into a crevasse. However, [[Ash's Totodile]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} were able to soften their landing. Out of gratitude, Pryce healed Totodile with some wild herbs. The pair later discovered a cave using Totodile's earlier {{m|Water Gun}}, and Pryce soon located a leg bracelet that belonged to his Piloswine. They soon reached an ice cavern and found Piloswine encased in ice. Pryce then realized that Piloswine had left years ago to retrieve some herbs that could heal burns, and he forgave it. Ash used {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} to free Piloswine from the ice and awaken it. Pryce later teamed up with Piloswine to defeat Team Rocket when they tried to steal it. Upon returning to the [[Mahogany Gym]], Pryce agreed to have a Gym battle with Ash the following day. | ||

For the first round, Cyndaquil went up against Pryce's Dewgong. The battle quickly went underwater, and Cyndaquil emerged victorious after using a close-range {{m|Swift}} attack followed by a Flamethrower. Pryce then sent out Piloswine, and it defeated Cyndaquil with a powerful {{m|Take Down}}. Pikachu was sent out next, and while his speed was useless on the icy field, Pikachu was able to slide around and land a few {{t|Electric}} attacks. Despite Piloswine's endurance, Pryce decided to forfeit the match because it was becoming too exhausted to continue. As a result, he awarded Ash the {{Badge|Glacier}}. | ||

His old friend [[Sheila]] had noticed a substantial difference in him by the events of ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', which were reminiscent of Pryce's younger days. In battle, Pryce proved to be fiercely competitive. He used the battlefield to his full advantage, freezing it over to make an icy wasteland that hindered an opponent's speed based strategies or breaking up the ice to make an underwater field ideal for his many dual {{t|Water}} and {{t|Ice}} Pokémon. Pryce's {{p|Dewgong}} and Piloswine were shown to be excellent at landing direct attacks with their sharp horns and also striking at a distance with their Ice [[move]]s. | His old friend [[Sheila]] had noticed a substantial difference in him by the events of ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', which were reminiscent of Pryce's younger days.
