==In the games==

A little paranoid, Lt. Surge installed a series of traps in the Gym. He takes a liking to Trainers with a lot of guts.

In addition to the Thunder Badge, Lt. Surge gives out {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, and {{v2|Yellow}}. In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, LeafGreen,|s}} {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} he gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, he doesn't give out a [[TM]]. Also in HeartGold and SoulSilver, he trades a foreign {{p|Pikachu}} with the player for another Pikachu.

===Fame Checker===

:"<sc>Lt. Surge</sc> installed the traps in the <sc>Gym</sc> himself.

:He set up double locks everywhere."

* There’s a rumor...

:"<sc>Lt. Surge</sc> is rumored to have been a pilot while home in America.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

[[File:Lt. Surge Sabrina Adventures.png|right|200px|thumb|Lt. Surge and his Raichu with Sabrina and her Mr. Mime]]

Some time later, the [[Elite Four]] tried to destroy humanity. Team Rocket's admins joined up with {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Yellow}} to stop them. During the battle against the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]], Lt. Surge was paired with {{adv|Red}} according to [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]]. However, with Red absent due to injuries, Lt. Surge had to choose {{adv|Bill}} as his partner instead, whose Spoon had not bent due to the fact that he was accompanying Green and Yellow, thus not intending to battle in the first place. When Red arrived the moment that Bill and Lt. Surge were about to lose, Lt. Surge's spoon bent, revealing Red as his true partner. Red then resumed his battle with Bruno. When it finished, Lt. Surge became fed up and pushed Bill into the acidic waters below, though Bill was saved by Red.

|desc={{p|Electabuzz}} is one of Lt. Surge's most powerful Pokémon and it's noted that it is disobedient and Surge couldn't even get it in a [[Poké Ball]]. It was first seen on the [[S.S. Anne]], where Surge sent it out to fight against {{adv|Red}} and his [[Poli|Poliwhirl]]. It seemingly had the upper hand until the {{type|Water}} Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Poliwrath}} after being pushed off the side of the ship, which resulted in Red defeating Surge and Electabuzz. It was used to fight against Red again during the battle at [[Silph Co.]] Two years later, Electabuzz was used in the battle of [[Cerise Island]], where it helped battle [[Bruno]], but was not able to damage his Pokémon due to their evasiveness. During the Gym Leader Tournament in [[Johto]], it fought against [[Morty]]'s {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}, who almost defeated it before Surge switched it with {{p|Magnemite}}.

{{TrainerPoké

|desc=Lt. Surge owns many {{p|Magneton}} and uses them for aerial transportation by having them create an energy platform using their magnetic charge. He has carried (and sometimes trapped) many people using this ability, from allies like {{adv|Bill}} and {{Adv|Gold}} and enemies such as {{adv|Red}}.

* As in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Lt. Surge's [[Trainer ID number]] is 33038.

* In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], the man who describes all of the World Leaders questions if Lt. Surge is from Unova. This is probably because Lt. Surge is from America, and the Unova region is based off of New York City, USA.
