'''Lyra''' (Japanese: '''コトネ''' ''Kotone'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Ethan}}. She replaces {{ga|Kris}} from {{game|Crystal}}.


==Storyline in the games==
==In the core series games==
===When selected as the player character===
===As the protagonist===
Lyra's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks her to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]]. Because she may encounter dangerous wild {{obp|Pokémon|species}} along the way, Elm gives her a choice between three Pokémon for protection: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Because she may encounter dangerous wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} along the way, Elm gives her a choice between three Pokémon for protection: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.


Lyra meets a strange boy the same age as her watching Elm's Lab from outside. When she tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves her away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Lyra's rival, analogous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III|III]].

Lyra continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes the errand. While there she meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Lyra's bond with her new Pokémon, gives her a [[Pokédex]]. On her way back home, Lyra again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, she learns his name from his dropped {{ga|Trainer card}} and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Lyra to keep the Pokémon she chose earlier, and encourages her to compete in the [[Johto League]].

Professor Elm allows Lyra to keep the Pokémon she chose earlier, and encourages her to compete in the [[Johto League]].


From there Lyra begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way she also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

Along the way, she also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures, and not just as tools for battle.


After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, Lyra then takes a short trip on a ship, the [[S.S. Aqua]], from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Journeying across that region, she battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Lyra heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28|Kanto}}. Her journey comes to a close when she faces the Champion from Pallet Town Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}} at the summit of Mt. Silver, who had been training there since shortly after he became Pokémon League Champion [[Generation III|three years prior]].

[[File:Goldandsoul.png|thumb|left|200px|Lyra speaking with {{ga|Ethan}}]]
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Ethan Lyra.png|thumb|left|200px|Lyra speaking with {{ga|Ethan}}]]
If {{ga|Ethan}} is selected to be the player character, Lyra meets him in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a {{TP|Lyra|Marill}}. She will always have Marill even if another [[starter Pokémon]] is selected. In addition, she doesn't appear to take the remaining starter Pokémon. Her role in the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver is similar to that of {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if they are not chosen as the player character, while Ethan takes this place if she is selected as the player. She teaches the player how to catch pokemon (replacing [[Dude]] from [[Gold and Silver]])
If playing as {{ga|Ethan}}, Lyra appears as an NPC in the game. When playing as Lyra, Ethan takes on this role instead.


While playing as Ethan, her grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. She also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}. Naturally, this role is given to Ethan if she is the player character.
Lyra meets the player in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a {{TP|Lyra|Marill}}. She teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on {{rt|29|Johto}} (replacing the [[Dude]] from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}). Her grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. She also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}.


When called from certain locations, Lyra will mention that something will happen if the player takes a certain Pokémon there.

Shortly after the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an {{an|Lyra|anime counterpart}} of Lyra appeared in the episodes from ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' to ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''. Much as with {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, she shares both her English and Japanese names with the player character she is based on.

Shortly after the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an anime counterpart of Lyra appeared in the episodes from ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' to ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''. Much as with {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Serena}}, she shares both her English and Japanese names with the player character she is based on. Along with her friend [[Khoury]], she traveled with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for a short time, before ultimately returning to [[Johto]].

====Pokémon Adventures====
{{main|Crystal (Adventures)}}
Although Lyra doesn't appear separately in [[Pokémon Adventures]], Crystal essentially serves as her counterpart by wearing her {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} outfit during the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} due to her mother forcing her to wear it against her will.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Much like {{ga|Silver}} received the fan name "Kamon" from the list of {{ga|Ethan}}'s names in {{game|Silver}} for discerning purposes, Lyra was known by much of the fandom as "Soul", following the precedent of {{ga|Red}}'s {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} introduced in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Interestingly, {{ga|Ethan}} was the only one who appeared in-game in demos with the name Soul: Lyra's name was in fact "Heart" (though likewise, ''Leaf'' was a default name for Red in LeafGreen, and ''Fire'' and ''Red'' default names for Leaf in FireRed).
* Lyra is 4'11" (1.52 m) tall and weighs 90.4 lbs (41 kg). This was confirmed by checking the heights and weights of certain Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]]. <!--Gen I to Gen IV examples needed.-->The height was eventually confirmed by the ''Pokémon Scale World'' series of 1/20 scaled figures.<ref>[https://p-bandai.com/sg/item/N2511648001001 Page about the ''Lyra & Bayleef & Natu & Smoochum'' set of figures].</ref>
** Also similar to {{ga|Leaf}}, "Soul" is one of the optional names for Lyra in Pokémon SoulSilver Version.
* It is assumed by some fans that {{ga|Kris}} and Lyra are one and the same, but this possibility has yet to be supported by an official source. [[Takao Unno]] revealed in an interview that he had designed Lyra from scratch, but that only sheds light on the characters' design differences.
* Lyra and Ethan are the only pseudo-rivals, (along with the only [[rival]] characters in any game apart from Wally), to not appear to have a starter Pokémon from the professor in that region.
* Lyra shares many of her Japanese default names with {{ga|Leaf}} and {{ga|Dawn}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s default Japanese names.
* Lyra shares many of her Japanese default names with {{ga|Leaf}} and {{ga|Dawn}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s default Japanese names.
* Occasionally, Lyra will call and claim that her {{p|Marill}} evolved into {{p|Azumarill}}. However, regardless of this, her Marill is ''never'' shown to have evolved and in subsequent calls she still refers to it as a Marill, due to the random chronology of the calls.
* Occasionally, Lyra will call and claim that her {{p|Marill}} evolved into {{p|Azumarill}}. Upon meeting her again, however, she will still have a Marill. This mix-up is due to a translation error: in the Japanese version, she talks of how she would be surprised ''if'' she were to turn around on a whim while walking about and find her Marill in the process of evolving, or having evolved, into an Azumarill. She follows that thought up with: "But that would never happen!"
* Lyra is 4'11" (1.52 m) tall and weighs 90.4 lbs (41 kg). Thus, Lyra is slightly taller and heavier than {{ga|Ethan}}, whereas it was the opposite for {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Dawn}}.
* According to one source, Lyra replaced Kris as the female player in HeartGold and SoulSilver because Takao Unno did not consult Ken Sugimori's original artwork before beginning Lyra's design. <ref>[https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2023/11/random-pokemon-gold-and-silvers-male-protagonist-was-apparently-a-ninja-in-the-ds-remakes]</ref>.

Lyra (Japanese: コトネ Kotone) is the female player character in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Her male counterpart is Ethan. She replaces Kris from Pokémon Crystal.

In the core series games

As the protagonist

Lyra's journey as a Trainer begins when Professor Elm asks her to run an errand for Mr. Pokémon, who lives north of Cherrygrove City. Because she may encounter dangerous wild Pokémon along the way, Elm gives her a choice between three Pokémon for protection: Cyndaquil, Totodile or Chikorita.

Lyra meets a strange boy the same age as her watching Elm's Lab from outside. When she tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves her away. The boy, Silver, will become Lyra's rival, analogous to Blue in Generation I and III.

Lyra continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes the errand. While there she meets Professor Oak who, upon realizing Lyra's bond with her new Pokémon, gives her a Pokédex. On her way back home, Lyra again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, she learns his name from his dropped Trainer Card and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Lyra to keep the Pokémon she chose earlier, and encourages her to compete in the Johto League.

From there Lyra begins on a Pokémon journey in the Johto region, facing off against its eight Gym Leaders, defeating and disbanding the revived Team Rocket, and becoming the Pokémon League Champion by defeating the Elite Four and its previous Champion, Lance, at Indigo Plateau. Along the way, she also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures, and not just as tools for battle.

After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, Lyra then takes a short trip on a ship, the S.S. Aqua, from Olivine City to Vermilion City in Kanto. Journeying across that region, she battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from Professor Oak in Pallet Town, Lyra heads for Mt. Silver via Route 28. Her journey comes to a close when she comes to the summit and faces the Champion from Pallet Town and Pokémon Trainer, Red, who had been training there since shortly after he became Pokémon League Champion three years prior.

As a non-playable character

Lyra speaking with Ethan

If playing as Ethan, Lyra appears as an NPC in the game. When playing as Lyra, Ethan takes on this role instead.

Lyra meets the player in New Bark Town at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a Marill. She teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on Route 29 (replacing the Dude from Gold, Silver, and Crystal). Her grandparents run the Pokémon Day Care on Route 34. She also gives the player the Fashion Case in Goldenrod Tunnel and the Vs. Recorder on Route 31.

When called from certain locations, Lyra will mention that something will happen if the player takes a certain Pokémon there.

Pokémon

Lyra uses this party to show the player how to catch Pokémon when Ethan is selected as the player character in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Masters EX

Main article: Lyra (Masters)

Lyra, who is based on the NPC character, forms a sync pair with Chikorita and its evolved forms Bayleef and Meganium, along with Jigglypuff, Celebi, Vaporeon, and Phanpy in Pokémon Masters EX. Lyra became a playable sync pair on September 17, 2019.

Lyra has also made notable appearances in one of the game's Main Stories, the Villain Arc. Unlike in the core series, both Lyra and Kris coexist in the same game.

Trivia

  • Lyra is 4'11" (1.52 m) tall and weighs 90.4 lbs (41 kg). This was confirmed by checking the heights and weights of certain Pokémon in the Pokédex. The height was eventually confirmed by the Pokémon Scale World series of 1/20 scaled figures.[4]
  • Lyra shares many of her Japanese default names with Leaf and Dawn. She also shares all of Kris's default Japanese names.
  • Occasionally, Lyra will call and claim that her Marill evolved into Azumarill. Upon meeting her again, however, she will still have a Marill. This mix-up is due to a translation error: in the Japanese version, she talks of how she would be surprised if she were to turn around on a whim while walking about and find her Marill in the process of evolving, or having evolved, into an Azumarill. She follows that thought up with: "But that would never happen!"
  • According to one source, Lyra replaced Kris as the female player in HeartGold and SoulSilver because Takao Unno did not consult Ken Sugimori's original artwork before beginning Lyra's design. [5].
