'''Chase''' (Japanese: '''カケル''' ''Kakeru'') is the male [[player character]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. His female counterpart is {{ga|Elaine}}, and is analogous to {{ga|Red}} as he appears in [[Generation I]] and their [[remake]]s, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, along with {{ga|Leaf}} as she appears in the latter two games.

==In the games==
Chase is a young boy from [[Pallet Town]]. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls him and his friend {{ga|Trace}} to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Chase picks a {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}} or {{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}} , while Trace picks the opposite Pokémon. Oak also gives them each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto.

From here, Chase and Trace journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn.
<!--
Chase also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, he uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from {{ci|Celadon}}, Chase uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by [[Jessie]] and [[James]], two agents of Team Rocket. He soon journeys into [[Saffron City]] in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Chase encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Chase defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. Giovanni disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Chase challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the [[Elite Four]] and discovers, to his surprise, that Trace has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Chase defeats Trace in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau.-->
