Mr. Fuji is not a native of Lavender Town. He used to live on [[Cinnabar Island]], where he was known as '''Dr. Fuji''' (Japanese: '''フジはかせ''' ''Dr. Fuji''), the founder of [[Pokémon Lab]]. He is a close friend of [[Blaine]], as indicated by a portrait in the [[Cinnabar Gym]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. It is rumored that he lived in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} at one time.


In the [[Generation I]] games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, when members of Team Rocket killed {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} at [[Pokémon Tower]], Mr. Fuji marched up to their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] and started to rant about how Team Rocket was abusing Pokémon. Later, Mr. Fuji went to the Pokémon Tower to calm the Marowak's restless spirit, but Team Rocket appeared and held him hostage until the {{player}} drove them out of the tower. In gratitude, Mr. Fuji gives the player a [[Poké Flute]].

Mr. Fuji's first appearance in [[Pokémon Origins]] was in the episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]''. Much like in the games, he had gone to the [[Pokémon Tower]] after it was taken over by [[Team Rocket]], trying to convince them to leave, but wound up as their hostage. After Team Rocket was driven out of the Pokémon Tower by {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, Mr. Fuji rewarded the young Pokémon Trainer with the [[Poké Flute]] and a pair of mysterious stones. When Red asked what the stones were for, Mr. Fuji told him that he would "find out soon enough".

Mr. Fuji later appeared in ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', where [[Reina]] told him about the rumours of an incredibly strong Pokémon seen in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. After hearing that the Pokémon is likely a {{t|Psychic}} type, he said, "So, it's still out there", indicating that he knew the identity of this Pokémon. After hearing of Red heading to capture the mysterious Pokémon, {{p|Mewtwo}}, Mr. Fuji began to think about Red's possibilities to win the fight against it. During his thinking session, Red battled Mewtwo in the Cerulean Cave, and wound up getting almost all of his Pokémon defeated, leaving him with only his {{p|Charizard}}. While Charizard battled Mewtwo, Mr. Fuji understood that Red's only hope of victory lied within the stones he had given to him. The stones, revealed to be [[Mega Stone]]s from the faraway [[region]] of [[Kalos]], gave Charizard strength to rise from the brink of defeat and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. This new power gave Charizard capability to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.

'''Mr. Fuji''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Mystery of the Fossils}} expansion, it later debuted in English in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration by [[Ken Sugimori]]. Mr. Fuji allows the player to add a Pokémon on their {{TCG|Bench}}, and all cards attached to it, to their deck and then shuffle it.

==Trivia==
* Mr. Fuji may be the same character as Dr. Fuji (Japanese: フジはかせ ''Dr. Fuji''), who founded [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Pokémon Lab]]. In addition to the characters having the same surname, the [[Fame Checker]] reports that Mr. Fuji is not from [[Lavender Town]] and is friends with [[Blaine]], suggesting a connection between Mr. Fuji and Cinnabar Island. The anime character [[Dr. Fuji]] may have been inspired by the Dr. Fuji in the games.
** This is further supported in [[Pokémon Origins]], in which Mr. Fuji is shown to be Dr. Fuji.
** Interacting with the portrait of Dr. Fuji at the Pokémon Lab yields the following text: "A photo of the <sc>{{color2|606060|Pokémon Lab|Lab}}</sc>'s founder… <sc>Dr. Fuji</sc>?!"
