Gold (Adventures): Difference between revisions

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetche'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City (mistaken in translations a Cherrygrove City) and he runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Poltaro's Water Gun made it react more than Explotaro's [[Ember]] attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Ataro's Pokéball disguised as a cue ball, his Egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the Egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Explotaro evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care coupe then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Poltaro evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the [[King's Rock]] the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is Defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.

Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} and battle a {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's [[Aeroblast]] attack, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Pokéball they threw turned out to be empty. Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful [[Mega Drain]], but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melt the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real identity by smashing his mask, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man, now revealed to be [[Pryce]], threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. He is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into [[Pichu]]. He then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beatss, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Frontier]] in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state  by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon [[Jirachi (Pokémon)|Jirachi]] and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate [[fire-type]] attack, [[Blast Burn]], which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]]. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}} and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified_. When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his [[Emerald's Sceptile|Sceptile]] the powerful [[Frenzy Plant]], and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Blue in the first round).

|desc=Utaro, Gold's {{p|Sudowoodo}}, was captured whilst on a race around [[Goldenrod City]] with [[Whitney]], the local [[gym leader]]. The two competitors soon reached an enormous tree, that neither of the trainers' Pokémon could move. Suddenly, a large {{p|Rhyhorn}} bursts out and Whitney stupidly tries to stop it, getting herself carried away by it. The strange tree reacted strangely to [[Poltaro]]'s {{m|Water Gun}} attack and shrinks down to size. Gold then finds out that Sudowoodo was hiding from Rhyhorn and they go after it, defeating it and saving Whitney.  It has a Jolly [[nature]], and is shown interacting with {{adv|Emerald}}'s Sudowoodo after [[Guile Hideout]] had been defeated.}}

|desc=Sintaro, Gold's {{p|Sunflora}}, was caught as a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[PS099|Sunshine Sunkern]]'' to launch Explotaro's Poké Ball high into the air to defeat a raging Skarmory, using her amazing jumping ability. Sintaro had also been the last one to touch Gold's Togepi egg and is the apparent reason for Totaro hatching.  It has a Serious nature.}}

|desc=Poltaro, Gold's {{p|Politoed}}, is one of the family Pokémon at Gold's home that he grew up with. When Team Rocket grunts stole Gold's backpack, containing the Poké Balls with Poltaro's it was washed away by the stream and ended up with a wild Granbull. It had hopes to evolving into a Poliwrath after seeing {{adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]]wrath but instead evolved into a Politoed right after its evolution into Poliwhirl. It debuted as a Poliwag in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Flies]]''.}}
