Silver shows a strong dislike of Team Rocket. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a {{p|Sneasel}} from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]] and while {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} attempts to take down Team Rocket in [[Mahogany Town]] and [[Goldenrod City]], he interferes to prove himself. It is in the Mahogany hideout that he meets with [[Lance]], {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. When Team Rocket takes over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], Silver first blows the player's Team Rocket disguise, unaware of the player's plan to sneak in by pretending to be a member of Team Rocket. He later follows the player to the Goldenrod underground and they battle Team Rocket, hoping that Lance will reappear and he can request a rematch. | Silver shows a strong dislike of Team Rocket.

By the time the player reaches the Indigo Plateau, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer. He is defeated and departs to continue training. The player battles Silver on [[Mt. Moon]], and though he loses he claims he can feel his Pokémon getting stronger, and resolves to train at [[Dragon's Den]]. When battled the seventh time at [[Indigo Plateau]], Silver seems to have finally learned to care for his Pokémon properly, as his {{p|Golbat}} has evolved to {{p|Crobat}}, which only occurs when Golbat is very [[Happiness|happy]]. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his [[starter Pokémon]] starts to [[Walking Pokémon|follow him around]], much like the player's Pokémon; Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the starter he stole. | By the time the player reaches the Indigo Plateau, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer.

Following Silver's final encounter with the player and after the player has become Champion, Silver can be found training on Tuesday and Thursday in the [[Dragon's Den]], where he cannot be battled, and will appear at the Indigo Plateau on Monday and Wednesday to challenge the player to a battle, should he or she appear. He does not appear at all on the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Lance and [[Clair]] will appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a [[tag battle]] following the battle at [[Mt. Moon]]. | Following Silver's final encounter with the player and after the player has become Champion, Silver can be found training on Tuesday and Thursday in the [[Dragon's Den]], where he cannot be battled, and will appear at the Indigo Plateau on Monday and Wednesday to challenge the player to a battle, should he or she appear.

Giovanni and Silver's relationship is revealed in HeartGold and SoulSilver when a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} is brought to [[Ilex Shrine]]. Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of {{ga|Red}}. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from the failure of his father. | Giovanni and Silver's relationship is revealed in HeartGold and SoulSilver when a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} is brought to [[Ilex Shrine]].

The [[starter Pokémon]] that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game. As with most [[rival]]s, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's starter. | The [[starter Pokémon]] that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game.
