{{adv|Gold}} was seen competing in the Pokéathlon as a way to pass time while searching for [[Lance]]. Gold won the Skill and Stamina Courses with his [[Aibo]], [[Polibo]], and [[Exbo]]. He won the Jump Course and narrowly wins the Speed Course with his Sudobo, [[Togebo]], and Sunbo. He then has a close match in the Skill Course with the Johto Elite Four but wins with his Aibo, Polibo, and Exbo against Koga's Muk, Will's Exeggutor, and Bruno's Machamp.
{{adv|Gold}} went to the Pokéathlon to meet up with [[Lance]] and get information about {{p|Arceus}} for {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He starts with the Skill Course, which he enters with [[Exbo]], [[Polibo]], and [[Aibo]] and succeeds in beating it. After that, he beats the Jump Course with {{p|Sudowoodo|Sudobo}}, {{p|Sunflora|Sunbo}}, and [[Togebo]]. Next, he tries the Stamina Course, which he beats with Exbo, Polibo, and Aibo again.
 
Gold's fourth challenge takes him to the Speed Course, where he is pit up against the top athlete {{jo|Jet}}. Initially, Jet gets the upper hand in the first two challenges, but is eventually defeated in Relay Run, which gives Gold enough points to win. For his final challenge, Gold enters the Power Course with Aibo, Exbo, and Polibo. His opponents this time are three of the [[Elite Four]], [[Bruno]], [[Koga]], and [[Will]]. They manage to easily win the first two rounds, but Gold ends up the victor in Block Smash by utilizing High Tension mode.
 
After Gold tells everyone the real reason why he came to compete, a [[Lance's Dragonite|Dragonite]] attacks the Pokéathlon Dome. Gold manages to defeat it and realizes that the Dragonite actually belonged to Lance, which meant that they were attacked before they could get to the Dome. Annoyed that Lance isn't coming after all, Gold takes the Dragonite for safe keeping and heads off to [[Ecruteak City]].  


Some of the events featured have different rules. For instance, the Relay Run requires Trainers to run with their Pokémon so as to decide when the Pokémon should switch out. The Lamp Jump requires the Pokémon to share the board with other teams instead of competing separately.
