'''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]'s (later the [[Seafoam Islands]]') [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Volcano}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in {{pkmn|battle}}. He is a highly intelligent man who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. | |||
[[ | |||
==In the core series games== | |||
Blaine's title is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master." His strategy is to incinerate challengers with his rough-and-ready Fire-type Pokémon. To reach Blaine, challengers have to answer a series of quiz questions about Pokémon. Blaine only takes off his sunglasses when thinking up new quiz questions. | |||
When he once got lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range, he was guided out of the mountains by a {{p|Moltres}}. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine is a resident of [[Cinnabar Island]], and has lived there since before the [[Cinnabar Lab]] was built. He is good friends with [[Mr. Fuji]] and used to do Pokémon research with him. | |||
In addition to the Volcano Badge, Blaine gives out {{TM|38|Fire Blast}} in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} he gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}, and in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], his reward is {{TM|46|Fire Blast}}. | |||
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the volcano on Cinnabar Island has erupted, destroying the town and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to a cave at the [[Seafoam Islands]], and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar, planning to rebuild his Gym one day. | |||
Blaine is able to be [[rematch]]ed in HeartGold and SoulSilver, after collecting his number at any time on Tuesday on Cinnabar Island. A call to him on Tuesday afternoon will arrange a rematch. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blaine has also added Gym Trainers and a puzzle to his Gym, unlike in [[Generation II]], where he stood alone in a small cave. | |||
In {{B2W2}}, Blaine, along with his fellow Kanto Gym Leaders, participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He can be faced in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament|Kanto Leaders]], [[World Leaders Tournament|World Leaders]], and [[Type Expert Tournament]]s. | |||

===Main series=== | |||
[[File:Blaine anime.png|thumb|250px|Blaine in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] | |||
====[[Original series]]==== | |||
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first met a disguised Blaine while they looked for the [[Cinnabar Gym]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''. Prior to the episode, Blaine was forced to close the Cinnabar Gym after the island became a tourist destination because of its hot springs and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were no longer interested. He went on to open the Big Riddle Inn to cash in on the tourist trade. After {{an|Misty}} solved Blaine's riddles, Ash and his friends stayed at Blaine's hotel during their time on [[Cinnabar Island]]. | |||
Blaine alerted Ash and his friends to {{TRT}}'s attack on the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] after he received a phone call. After the group defeated the trio, Blaine, still in disguise, revealed that he operated a Gym "in a place where no firefighter could win". Solving the riddle, the group discovered Blaine's secret Gym, located inside the Cinnabar Volcano, after [[Misty's Togepi]] accidentally jumped on one of the hot spring's tap fixtures and revealed a secret entryway. | |||
[[File:Blaine disguise anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Blaine in his disguise]] | |||
Misty went on to solve another riddle and Blaine revealed himself to the group. Ash then challenged Blaine in a three-on-three Gym match. After Blaine's {{p|Ninetales}} defeated {{AP|Squirtle}}, Ash selected {{AP|Charizard}}, while Blaine called out his {{p|Rhydon}}. Rhydon emerged victorious after Charizard flew away from the battlefield to nap. Pikachu then defeated Rhydon after he used its horn to conduct a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack. Afterwards, Blaine selected his {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} as his third and final Pokémon. | |||
In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', Ash forfeited the battle when Pikachu nearly fell into the Gym's boiling magma. Afterwards, Team Rocket broke into the Cinnabar Gym and attempted to steal Magmar by freezing it with ice projectile guns. Though Magmar broke free, the sudden cooling of the walls in the lava cave caused the rock to crack, triggering a volcanic eruption. Blaine, Ash, and his friends were forced to use their {{t|Water}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to block the cracks with boulders. | |||
During the crisis, Charizard and Magmar gained an interest in each other's strength, and wished to test it in battle. Blaine agreed to a [[rematch]] with Ash, but due to the internal damage of the volcano, it was held on top of the volcanic crater. At first, Magmar and Charizard were evenly matched, but Charizard's ability to fly eventually gave it an advantage. It lifted Magmar high into the air and used {{m|Seismic Toss}}, slamming Magmar into the volcano and knocking it out, earning Ash the victory. | |||
====Character==== | |||
Blaine likes to make up riddles and use puns even in inappropriate situations. Even so, he is a stern opponent and takes his role as [[Gym Leader]] very seriously. He values a keen challenger and makes sure they truly earn their {{Badge|Volcano}} in {{pkmn|battle}}. He has crafted his battle strategy around his Gym's volcanic location, which suits his {{t|Fire}} Pokémon against its biggest weakness, {{t|Water}} Pokémon. The searing heat can also exhaust and overwhelm a challenger. | |||

Charizard refused to fight the {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, so Rhydon went up against {{AP|Pikachu}} in its place. Blaine doubted the {{type|Electric}} could defeat Rhydon, but Ash encouraged Pikachu to use Rhydon's horn as a conductor of electricity that quickly caused its defeat. | |||
Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}.}} | |||

After the battlefield was wrecked because of {{TRT}}'s icy attack, Magmar and [[Ash's Charizard]] ended up gaining a respect for each other and wanted to test their strengths against one another. This was done in Ash's [[rematch]] with Blaine on top of Cinnabar's volcano. However, despite Magmar's powerful attacks including {{m|Fire Blast}}, Charizard managed to come out on top.}} | |||

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Blaine also works as a Pokémon ecologist. | |||
==== | ====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===== | ||
'' | Blaine debuted in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]''. He was first seen discussing the creation of {{adv|Mewtwo}} with [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]] at the [[Team Rocket Hideout]]. When Blaine noted the genetic material Team Rocket acquired from {{adv|Mew}}'s cells wouldn't be enough to fully complete Mewtwo's body, Ken suggested they attempt to capture Mew to obtain more. | ||
'' | In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', Red arrived on [[Cinnabar Island]], where he found several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s attacking Blaine. With Red's help, Blaine escaped his pursuers, only for the Grunts to send a {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Moltres}} after them. Choosing to stay behind and keep Moltres busy, Blaine had his {{p|Rapidash}} take Red to his secret laboratory, where he used a machine to revive his [[Old Amber]] into a living {{p|Aerodactyl}}. With his new team member, [[Aero]], Red managed to wound Moltres, forcing the Grunts to recall it and flee. | ||
'' | In ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', Blaine found Red in battle with Mewtwo in front of [[Cerulean Cave]]. After rescuing him from one of Mewtwo's attacks, Blaine revealed that he managed to complete Mewtwo's body by adding some of his human cells into it. Some of Mewtwo's cells also entered Blaine's body as well, linking the two and giving Blaine the ability to track Mewtwo's whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Red used the [[Master Ball]] he borrowed from Blaine to catch Mewtwo, defeating it. Afterward, Blaine apologized for Mewtwo's violent behavior, stating it was born from only being exposed to cruelty of humans. Red suggested Blaine atone by showing Mewtwo compassion as a way of helping it change for the better. | ||
== | ====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}===== | ||
[[ | In ''[[PS047|Purrrr-sian]]'', Blaine received a call from [[Erika]], who asked that he come help her and {{adv|Yellow}} battle {{adv|Miles}}, a {{tc|Super Nerd}} that had disguised himself as Red, who had gone missing. Along with [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], Blaine traveled to [[Celadon City]], where they and Erika cornered Miles, preventing him from escaping and giving Yellow the opportunity to knock Miles unconscious. Afterward, Blaine apologized to Misty for the crimes he committed on her Pokémon during his time in Team Rocket. With his {{p|Growlithe}}, Blaine detected some of Red's scent on Miles's body and found out his last known location was on [[Mt. Moon]]. | ||
Blaine | |||
Blaine had | In ''[[PS064|Putting It on the Line...Against Arcanine]]'', Yellow made it to Cinnabar Island. She found {{tc|Camper}} [[Evan]] helping Blaine train together with Mewtwo. Blaine later received a call from Brock, who had gone to Mt. Moon to search for Red, only to find a broken shell of ice in the shape of Red's body. Their call was interrupted by Misty, who informed everyone that an army of the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon had begun attacking various cities around [[Kanto]]. Blaine revealed that after some investigating, he discovered the Elite Four's base of operations was on [[Cerise Island]]. He sent Yellow to the island first, noting that it'd be more advantageous to enter the island from different directions. Later, after arriving on the island, Blaine encountered {{adv|Blue}} as well as his former Team Rocket allies: [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]]. | ||
In ''[[PS070|Allied by Alakazam!]]'', Yellow, {{adv|Green}}, and {{adv|Bill}} arrived on the island and joined the others. The evil Gym Leaders revealed they came to defeat the Elite Four and suggested everyone work together to take down their common foe. With her [[Spoons of Destiny]], Sabrina split everyone into four groups of two that would face one Elite Four member each. Blaine and Yellow were partnered together against [[Lance]]. | |||
In ''[[PS079|Airing Out Aerodactyl]]'', Lance revealed himself to Blaine and Yellow. Hoping to measure Lance's strength, Blaine stepped up to battle him alone. With Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}} constructs, Blaine shattered the [[Ultra Ball]]s on Lance's belt, hoping to prevent him from using his other Pokémon. Left exhausted from battling with Mewtwo for too long, Blaine passed out. His and Mewtwo's efforts were in vain, as Lance'a remaining Pokémon were already out of their [[Poké Ball]]s and ready to fight. Mewtwo tried to keep battling, but retreated back into its Ball to ensure Blaine's safety. | |||
In ''[[PS090|The Legend]]'', after the Elite Four were defeated, Blaine returned to the Kanto mainland with Yellow and the others. He and the other good Gym Leaders worked together to repair the damages caused by the Elite Four's army. | |||
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===== | |||
In ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', the Kanto and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders gathered at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. They took part in an exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League's opening ceremonies. Blaine was paired up against [[Clair]] in the seventh round. | |||
In ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]'', Blaine was approached by {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Entei}}, who had been searching for someone to command it in battle. Blaine agreed on the condition that Entei used its special flames on him. With its Flames of Life, Entei burned the Mewtwo cells in Blaine's body away, curing him of his life-threatening disease. Sensing their connection was severed, Mewtwo left Cinnabar and flew off to parts unknown. Blaine's match with Clair was postponed while he recovered from the effects of Entei's healing. | |||
===Pokémon=== | In ''[[PS165|Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose, Part 1]]'', the [[Masked Man]] launched an attack on the Pokémon League. The Gym Leaders all teamed up to battle the Masked Man's army of Grunts. The battle led everyone onboard the [[Magnet Train]], which was a diversion to transport the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. Clair realized the Grunts were under mind control and blamed Blaine, noting his frequent absences as evidence. She used the opportunity to have her exhibition match with Blaine. Clair tried interrogating Blaine on the whereabouts of Lance, who went missing after the battle on Cerise Island. With Entei's power, Blaine easily fended off Clair's attacks and defeated her. He then reassured Clair, stating his belief that Lance is still alive somewhere. | ||
This listing is for Blaine's Pokémon in the '' | |||
{| | In ''[[PS169|The Last Battle III]]'', Blaine, Misty, and Lt. Surge teamed up to confront the Masked Man. By combining Entei, {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}, and {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Raikou}}'s strength, they overpowered the Masked Man's {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}} and {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}} before having Suicune trap the man himself between its Crystal Wall. Revealing his body to be fake, the Masked Man broke free and knocked Suicune unconscious, leaving Misty stuck inside the Crystal Wall. Misty was later freed by [[Eusine]], but she, Blaine, and Lt. Surge were left too injured to continue battling, forcing the Suicune, Entei, and Raikou to chase after the Masked Man. | ||
| | |||
| | In ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', after the Masked Man's defeat, Blaine resumed his duties as Gym Leader. As Blaine won his battle with Clair, the Kanto Gym Leaders were declared the victors of the exhibition tournament. | ||
| | |||
| | ====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===== | ||
[[File: Blaine XY chapter.png|150px|thumb|Blaine in the twelfth chapter]] | |||
In ''[[PS295|Double Down Deoxys]]'', Blaine was visited by Evan and Miles. He noted the scars created from his separation from Mewtwo have begun aching. Blaine speculated it was due to Mewtwo sensing that Mew may be returning to Kanto. | |||
====={{MangaArc|X & Y}}===== | |||
In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Blaine was revealed to have gone to the [[Kalos]] region, where he studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. He later reunited with and re-caught Mewtwo at the [[Pokémon Village]]. One day, while getting food in a nearby town, Blaine was sent flying by the [[ultimate weapon]]'s blast. The [[Battle Chatelaine]] sisters found Blaine's unconscious body and took him to the [[Battle Maison]] to recover from his injuries. After some time passed, Blaine left for the Pokémon Village, which had been infiltrated by [[Team Flare]]. | |||
In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Blaine arrived at the village, where he helped Mewtwo battle [[Lysandre]] by [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] it. Blaine and Mewtwo's bond gave Mewtwo the unique ability to Mega Evolve more than once per battle, allowing it to switch between its X and Y forms when needed. This bond also meant Mewtwo received any damage dealt to Blaine, a weakness Lysandre exploited by having {{adv|Zygarde}} attack the surrounding area with {{m|Land's Wrath}}. With Key Stones borrowed from his allies, {{adv|X}} simultaneously Mega Evolved his five capable Pokémon and used them against Zygarde. Lysandre retaliated with his own Pokémon, only for them to be taken out by Mewtwo and Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. After Lysandre was defeated, Blaine checked the man's wounds, confirming he was still alive but suffered heavy damage to his spinal area | |||
In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', Blaine and Blue talked to [[Professor Sycamore]] about the final battle with Team Flare. They noted being watched by a small green creature that appeared after Zygarde's defeat. Sycamore dubbed the creature a Zygarde Cell and noted similar creatures being seen in the [[Alola]] region and sent his assistants, [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]], to investigate. | |||
====Character==== | |||
Although Blaine is serious for most situations, he also had his comical moments. Blaine had his mustache burnt when he was training and had to use fake ones. Sometimes, he may also use riddles to lighten up the dark atmosphere. | |||

Eventually, Red caught word of it and reached the cave out of curiosity before nearly being killed in its {{m|Psywave|psychic tornado}}. Blaine made a valiant attempt to kill it at all costs, knowing that if he, the only one with the ability to function as a "Mewtwo Radar" was defeated, the world could come to an end. Although this succeeded in eliminating its tornado, the mutant itself still survived, only to be caught with a Master Ball that was thrown by Red in an ingenious maneuver. Mewtwo then went on to be a trained Pokémon belonging to Blaine and fought against [[Lance]] in the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}, though Blaine's failing health held it back from winning. After it was released a year later, it partnered up with Red much later on to free {{adv|Deoxys}} from {{adv|Giovanni}}'s hands.

{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} meet Blaine in ''[[PM024|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Quiz Battle!!]]'' while entering a building similar to a Chinese food restaurant. Inside the building, Blaine challenges Red to a Pokémon Quiz. As Red got the quiz wrong, Blaine ends up penalizing him and sends out his Pokémon for each question answered incorrectly. Blaine reappears in ''[[PM054|The Pokémon Banana League (Part 1)]]'' where he lends Red a {{p|Meowth}}. | |||

Blaine appeared in [[PZ08]], meeting {{Zensho|Satoshi}} at [[Seafoam Islands]] while chasing after {{p|Articuno}}. At his Gym on [[Cinnabar Island]], he told Satoshi how he had been enamored by Articuno for years, but had never succeeded in catching it, and was starting to feel his increasing age was making the task more and more difficult over time. When Satoshi offered to help him, Blaine asked him to prove his strength to him first. Once Satoshi had defeated Blaine and earned the {{badge|Volcano}}, they headed back to Seafoam Islands. Since Articuno didn't see him as a threat yet, unlike Blaine, Satoshi approached it first and used his {{p|Jigglypuff}} to put it to {{status|sleep}}, allowing Blaine to come in and finally capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] he had admired for so long. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* Although {{p|Magmar}} appears as Blaine's signature [[ | * Although {{p|Magmar}} appears as Blaine's signature Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}, he only has one in [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|VII}}, with it not even appearing in his [[Gym]] [[Party|team]] in {{game|Yellow}}. This is due to Yellow already being in late development by the time of Blaine's anime debut. | ||
* Blaine's | * In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s who in the [[rematch]]es does not have any items on any of their Pokémon (the other being [[Jasmine]]). | ||
* In {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, a rare glitch can occur, where he will use a [[Super Potion]] on Pokémon he just sent out despite them being at full health. | |||
* Despite the {{p|Arcanine}} evolutionary line being his signature Pokémon in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, Arcanine is no longer in his party in Generation II and its remakes. | |||
* Even when the {{player}} battles Blaine in a rematch, he still references his "Cave Gym" as if the {{pkmn|battle}}'s taking place there. | |||
* Blaine is the only Gym Leader to have a Gym in two different locations. | |||
* In Generation III, most Kanto Gym Leaders who share a specialty type with a Hoenn Gym Leader give out the same prize TM as the Hoenn counterpart. Blaine is the exception, rewarding {{TM|38|Fire Blast}} instead of {{TM|50|Overheat}}, as [[Flannery]] does. He does reward TM50 in Generation IV, however. | |||
* Blaine’s new design and cane in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} may be a reference to {{wp|Riddler|The Riddler}}, particularly the hat, cane and Blaine’s gym revolving around riddles. | |||
* Blaine’s portrait in [[Pokémon Stadium]] is the only one to not use his headshot from {{game|Red and Green|s}} promotional material. Instead, it uses his headshot from the manual of the Japanese version of Red and Green. | |||

Blaine has two separate character designs. The first one is from early Sugimori artwork for [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. He is depicted as a | Blaine has two separate character designs. The first one is from early Sugimori artwork for [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] seen in concept artwork<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20240314215338/https://twitter.com/helixchamber/status/1016520835958476800 Helix Chamber tweet featuring restored concept artwork]</ref> and the Japanese manual. In this design, Blaine dons a damaged military uniform worn, which resembles the Imperial Japan-era 98 Shiki-Gun-i. He is depicted as a balding man with light red hair to the back and side of his head. Furthermore, he lacks a moustache, and bears a more gaunt, albeit serious, facial expression. This more archaic design was reused in the {{pkmn|anime}} (as Blaine's real look) and very briefly in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga as a disguise after his moustache was burned. Additionally, an unused sprite for this design would be seen in the SpaceWorld 1999 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, being used as a placeholder for the female Rocket Executive's sprite.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver/Spaceworld_1999_Demo/en#Trainer_Sprites The Cutting Room Floor Page]</ref> | ||
Later, in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and outside-Japan [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] the artwork was revised and he started to be depicted as an older man with a mustache, and no hair on his scalp, wearing sunglasses and lab coat. This design was originally used for the Silph Chief. Despite the artwork changes, his new design was used in ''all'' Generation I main series games, including the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. This means that Blaine's design was probably changed very late in the production of Red and Green, since his official artwork and his in-game sprite are completely different portrayals. However, his Red and Green overworld sprite still shows him without glasses, while later in the {{pkmn|Yellow Version}}, his glasses are clearly visible. | |||
The reasons for changing the design is unknown; however, the [[Fame Checker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} explains why he doesn't always wear sunglasses: "Blaine is said to remove his dark shades only when he is thinking up new quiz questions." | |||
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Blaine is shown wearing a hat. He wears more sophisticated clothing than his previous lab coat. He also sports a cane that resembles a question mark. | |||

Latest revision as of 14:41, 11 September 2024
Blaine (Japanese: カツラ Katsura) is the Gym Leader of Cinnabar Island's (later the Seafoam Islands') Gym, known officially as the Cinnabar Gym. He hands out the Volcano Badge to Trainers who defeat him in battle. He is a highly intelligent man who specializes in Fire-type Pokémon.
In the core series games
Blaine's title is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master." His strategy is to incinerate challengers with his rough-and-ready Fire-type Pokémon. To reach Blaine, challengers have to answer a series of quiz questions about Pokémon. Blaine only takes off his sunglasses when thinking up new quiz questions.
When he once got lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range, he was guided out of the mountains by a Moltres. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine is a resident of Cinnabar Island, and has lived there since before the Cinnabar Lab was built. He is good friends with Mr. Fuji and used to do Pokémon research with him.
In addition to the Volcano Badge, Blaine gives out TM38 (Fire Blast) in Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen. In HeartGold and SoulSilver he gives out TM50 (Overheat), and in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, his reward is TM46 (Fire Blast).
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and their remakes, the volcano on Cinnabar Island has erupted, destroying the town and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to a cave at the Seafoam Islands, and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar, planning to rebuild his Gym one day.
Blaine is able to be rematched in HeartGold and SoulSilver, after collecting his number at any time on Tuesday on Cinnabar Island. A call to him on Tuesday afternoon will arrange a rematch. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blaine has also added Gym Trainers and a puzzle to his Gym, unlike in Generation II, where he stood alone in a small cave.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Blaine, along with his fellow Kanto Gym Leaders, participates in the Pokémon World Tournament. He can be faced in the Kanto Leaders, World Leaders, and Type Expert Tournaments.

Main series
Original series
Ash and his friends first met a disguised Blaine while they looked for the Cinnabar Gym in Riddle Me This. Prior to the episode, Blaine was forced to close the Cinnabar Gym after the island became a tourist destination because of its hot springs and Trainers were no longer interested. He went on to open the Big Riddle Inn to cash in on the tourist trade. After Misty solved Blaine's riddles, Ash and his friends stayed at Blaine's hotel during their time on Cinnabar Island.
Blaine alerted Ash and his friends to Team Rocket's attack on the Pokémon Lab after he received a phone call. After the group defeated the trio, Blaine, still in disguise, revealed that he operated a Gym "in a place where no firefighter could win". Solving the riddle, the group discovered Blaine's secret Gym, located inside the Cinnabar Volcano, after Misty's Togepi accidentally jumped on one of the hot spring's tap fixtures and revealed a secret entryway.
Misty went on to solve another riddle and Blaine revealed himself to the group. Ash then challenged Blaine in a three-on-three Gym match. After Blaine's Ninetales defeated Squirtle, Ash selected Charizard, while Blaine called out his Rhydon. Rhydon emerged victorious after Charizard flew away from the battlefield to nap. Pikachu then defeated Rhydon after he used its horn to conduct a powerful Thunderbolt attack. Afterwards, Blaine selected his Magmar as his third and final Pokémon.
In Volcanic Panic, Ash forfeited the battle when Pikachu nearly fell into the Gym's boiling magma. Afterwards, Team Rocket broke into the Cinnabar Gym and attempted to steal Magmar by freezing it with ice projectile guns. Though Magmar broke free, the sudden cooling of the walls in the lava cave caused the rock to crack, triggering a volcanic eruption. Blaine, Ash, and his friends were forced to use their Water, Rock, and Fire-type Pokémon to block the cracks with boulders.
During the crisis, Charizard and Magmar gained an interest in each other's strength, and wished to test it in battle. Blaine agreed to a rematch with Ash, but due to the internal damage of the volcano, it was held on top of the volcanic crater. At first, Magmar and Charizard were evenly matched, but Charizard's ability to fly eventually gave it an advantage. It lifted Magmar high into the air and used Seismic Toss, slamming Magmar into the volcano and knocking it out, earning Ash the victory.
Character
Blaine likes to make up riddles and use puns even in inappropriate situations. Even so, he is a stern opponent and takes his role as Gym Leader very seriously. He values a keen challenger and makes sure they truly earn their Volcano Badge in battle. He has crafted his battle strategy around his Gym's volcanic location, which suits his Fire Pokémon against its biggest weakness, Water Pokémon. The searing heat can also exhaust and overwhelm a challenger.

After Ash chose Charizard in his battle, Blaine countered it by choosing Rhydon. Charizard refused to fight the Ground-type Pokémon, so Rhydon went up against Pikachu in its place. Blaine doubted the Electric-type could defeat Rhydon, but Ash encouraged Pikachu to use Rhydon's horn as a conductor of electricity that quickly caused its defeat.
Rhydon's known moves are Horn Drill and Fury Attack.

Magmar is Blaine's final Pokémon and his powerhouse. In the first battle, Magmar easily defeated Ash's Pikachu. After the battlefield was wrecked because of Team Rocket's icy attack, Magmar and Ash's Charizard ended up gaining a respect for each other and wanted to test their strengths against one another. This was done in Ash's rematch with Blaine on top of Cinnabar's volcano. However, despite Magmar's powerful attacks including Fire Blast, Charizard managed to come out on top.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Aside from being a Gym Leader, Blaine also works as a Pokémon ecologist.
Red, Green & Blue arc
Blaine debuted in Tauros the Tyrant. He was first seen discussing the creation of Mewtwo with Ken at the Team Rocket Hideout. When Blaine noted the genetic material Team Rocket acquired from Mew's cells wouldn't be enough to fully complete Mewtwo's body, Ken suggested they attempt to capture Mew to obtain more.
In Holy Moltres, Red arrived on Cinnabar Island, where he found several Team Rocket Grunts attacking Blaine. With Red's help, Blaine escaped his pursuers, only for the Grunts to send a Moltres after them. Choosing to stay behind and keep Moltres busy, Blaine had his Rapidash take Red to his secret laboratory, where he used a machine to revive his Old Amber into a living Aerodactyl. With his new team member, Aero, Red managed to wound Moltres, forcing the Grunts to recall it and flee.
In And Mewtwo Too?!, Blaine found Red in battle with Mewtwo in front of Cerulean Cave. After rescuing him from one of Mewtwo's attacks, Blaine revealed that he managed to complete Mewtwo's body by adding some of his human cells into it. Some of Mewtwo's cells also entered Blaine's body as well, linking the two and giving Blaine the ability to track Mewtwo's whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Red used the Master Ball he borrowed from Blaine to catch Mewtwo, defeating it. Afterward, Blaine apologized for Mewtwo's violent behavior, stating it was born from only being exposed to cruelty of humans. Red suggested Blaine atone by showing Mewtwo compassion as a way of helping it change for the better.
Yellow arc
In Purrrr-sian, Blaine received a call from Erika, who asked that he come help her and Yellow battle Miles, a Super Nerd that had disguised himself as Red, who had gone missing. Along with Brock and Misty, Blaine traveled to Celadon City, where they and Erika cornered Miles, preventing him from escaping and giving Yellow the opportunity to knock Miles unconscious. Afterward, Blaine apologized to Misty for the crimes he committed on her Pokémon during his time in Team Rocket. With his Growlithe, Blaine detected some of Red's scent on Miles's body and found out his last known location was on Mt. Moon.
In Putting It on the Line...Against Arcanine, Yellow made it to Cinnabar Island. She found Camper Evan helping Blaine train together with Mewtwo. Blaine later received a call from Brock, who had gone to Mt. Moon to search for Red, only to find a broken shell of ice in the shape of Red's body. Their call was interrupted by Misty, who informed everyone that an army of the Elite Four's Pokémon had begun attacking various cities around Kanto. Blaine revealed that after some investigating, he discovered the Elite Four's base of operations was on Cerise Island. He sent Yellow to the island first, noting that it'd be more advantageous to enter the island from different directions. Later, after arriving on the island, Blaine encountered Blue as well as his former Team Rocket allies: Lt. Surge, Koga, and Sabrina.
In Allied by Alakazam!, Yellow, Green, and Bill arrived on the island and joined the others. The evil Gym Leaders revealed they came to defeat the Elite Four and suggested everyone work together to take down their common foe. With her Spoons of Destiny, Sabrina split everyone into four groups of two that would face one Elite Four member each. Blaine and Yellow were partnered together against Lance.
In Airing Out Aerodactyl, Lance revealed himself to Blaine and Yellow. Hoping to measure Lance's strength, Blaine stepped up to battle him alone. With Mewtwo's Psywave constructs, Blaine shattered the Ultra Balls on Lance's belt, hoping to prevent him from using his other Pokémon. Left exhausted from battling with Mewtwo for too long, Blaine passed out. His and Mewtwo's efforts were in vain, as Lance'a remaining Pokémon were already out of their Poké Balls and ready to fight. Mewtwo tried to keep battling, but retreated back into its Ball to ensure Blaine's safety.
In The Legend, after the Elite Four were defeated, Blaine returned to the Kanto mainland with Yellow and the others. He and the other good Gym Leaders worked together to repair the damages caused by the Elite Four's army.
Gold, Silver & Crystal arc
In Yikes, It's Yanma!, the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders gathered at the Indigo Plateau. They took part in an exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League's opening ceremonies. Blaine was paired up against Clair in the seventh round.
In Entranced by Entei, Blaine was approached by Entei, who had been searching for someone to command it in battle. Blaine agreed on the condition that Entei used its special flames on him. With its Flames of Life, Entei burned the Mewtwo cells in Blaine's body away, curing him of his life-threatening disease. Sensing their connection was severed, Mewtwo left Cinnabar and flew off to parts unknown. Blaine's match with Clair was postponed while he recovered from the effects of Entei's healing.
In Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose, Part 1, the Masked Man launched an attack on the Pokémon League. The Gym Leaders all teamed up to battle the Masked Man's army of Grunts. The battle led everyone onboard the Magnet Train, which was a diversion to transport the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. Clair realized the Grunts were under mind control and blamed Blaine, noting his frequent absences as evidence. She used the opportunity to have her exhibition match with Blaine. Clair tried interrogating Blaine on the whereabouts of Lance, who went missing after the battle on Cerise Island. With Entei's power, Blaine easily fended off Clair's attacks and defeated her. He then reassured Clair, stating his belief that Lance is still alive somewhere.
In The Last Battle III, Blaine, Misty, and Lt. Surge teamed up to confront the Masked Man. By combining Entei, Suicune, and Raikou's strength, they overpowered the Masked Man's Ho-Oh and Lugia before having Suicune trap the man himself between its Crystal Wall. Revealing his body to be fake, the Masked Man broke free and knocked Suicune unconscious, leaving Misty stuck inside the Crystal Wall. Misty was later freed by Eusine, but she, Blaine, and Lt. Surge were left too injured to continue battling, forcing the Suicune, Entei, and Raikou to chase after the Masked Man.
In The Last Battle XIV, after the Masked Man's defeat, Blaine resumed his duties as Gym Leader. As Blaine won his battle with Clair, the Kanto Gym Leaders were declared the victors of the exhibition tournament.
FireRed & LeafGreen arc
In Double Down Deoxys, Blaine was visited by Evan and Miles. He noted the scars created from his separation from Mewtwo have begun aching. Blaine speculated it was due to Mewtwo sensing that Mew may be returning to Kanto.
X & Y arc
In Pinsir Glares, Blaine was revealed to have gone to the Kalos region, where he studied under and received a Key Stone from Gurkinn. He later reunited with and re-caught Mewtwo at the Pokémon Village. One day, while getting food in a nearby town, Blaine was sent flying by the ultimate weapon's blast. The Battle Chatelaine sisters found Blaine's unconscious body and took him to the Battle Maison to recover from his injuries. After some time passed, Blaine left for the Pokémon Village, which had been infiltrated by Team Flare.
In Yveltal Steals, Blaine arrived at the village, where he helped Mewtwo battle Lysandre by Mega Evolving it. Blaine and Mewtwo's bond gave Mewtwo the unique ability to Mega Evolve more than once per battle, allowing it to switch between its X and Y forms when needed. This bond also meant Mewtwo received any damage dealt to Blaine, a weakness Lysandre exploited by having Zygarde attack the surrounding area with Land's Wrath. With Key Stones borrowed from his allies, X simultaneously Mega Evolved his five capable Pokémon and used them against Zygarde. Lysandre retaliated with his own Pokémon, only for them to be taken out by Mewtwo and Blue's Charizard. After Lysandre was defeated, Blaine checked the man's wounds, confirming he was still alive but suffered heavy damage to his spinal area
In Floette Returns, Blaine and Blue talked to Professor Sycamore about the final battle with Team Flare. They noted being watched by a small green creature that appeared after Zygarde's defeat. Sycamore dubbed the creature a Zygarde Cell and noted similar creatures being seen in the Alola region and sent his assistants, Sina and Dexio, to investigate.
Character
Although Blaine is serious for most situations, he also had his comical moments. Blaine had his mustache burnt when he was training and had to use fake ones. Sometimes, he may also use riddles to lighten up the dark atmosphere.

Debut | Holy Moltres |

- Main article: Mewtwo (Adventures)
Mewtwo was created by Blaine in a Team Rocket hideout using a small sample of Mew's DNA and Blaine's own. After it was fully cultivated in the Rocket Hideout, it went berserk and demolished the place before settling in the Cerulean Cave (where it wreaked havoc in the northwestern sector of Cerulean City). Eventually, Red caught word of it and reached the cave out of curiosity before nearly being killed in its psychic tornado. Blaine made a valiant attempt to kill it at all costs, knowing that if he, the only one with the ability to function as a "Mewtwo Radar" was defeated, the world could come to an end. Although this succeeded in eliminating its tornado, the mutant itself still survived, only to be caught with a Master Ball that was thrown by Red in an ingenious maneuver. Mewtwo then went on to be a trained Pokémon belonging to Blaine and fought against Lance in the Yellow arc, though Blaine's failing health held it back from winning. After it was released a year later, it partnered up with Red much later on to free Deoxys from Giovanni's hands. In the X & Y arc, Blaine was revealed to have reunited with and re-caught Mewtwo.
Debut | As Gastly as Before |

Growlithe is Blaine's Pokémon that was usually seen in searches. He first used him to find the cloth of Super Nerd Miles after he got possessed by a Gastly.

Surge had been injured fighting the Masked Man in Indigo Plateau, it was partnered up with Silver instead, and went back to the wild after the villain was defeated.

Blaine appeared in PZ08, meeting Satoshi at Seafoam Islands while chasing after Articuno. At his Gym on Cinnabar Island, he told Satoshi how he had been enamored by Articuno for years, but had never succeeded in catching it, and was starting to feel his increasing age was making the task more and more difficult over time. When Satoshi offered to help him, Blaine asked him to prove his strength to him first. Once Satoshi had defeated Blaine and earned the Volcano Badge, they headed back to Seafoam Islands. Since Articuno didn't see him as a threat yet, unlike Blaine, Satoshi approached it first and used his Jigglypuff to put it to sleep, allowing Blaine to come in and finally capture the Legendary Pokémon he had admired for so long.

Trivia
- Although Magmar appears as Blaine's signature Pokémon in the anime, he only has one in Generations II, IV, and VII, with it not even appearing in his Gym team in Pokémon Yellow. This is due to Yellow already being in late development by the time of Blaine's anime debut.
- In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he is one of two Gym Leaders who in the rematches does not have any items on any of their Pokémon (the other being Jasmine).
- In Red and Blue, a rare glitch can occur, where he will use a Super Potion on Pokémon he just sent out despite them being at full health.
- Despite the Arcanine evolutionary line being his signature Pokémon in Generations I and III, Arcanine is no longer in his party in Generation II and its remakes.
- Even when the player battles Blaine in a rematch, he still references his "Cave Gym" as if the battle's taking place there.
- Blaine is the only Gym Leader to have a Gym in two different locations.
- In Generation III, most Kanto Gym Leaders who share a specialty type with a Hoenn Gym Leader give out the same prize TM as the Hoenn counterpart. Blaine is the exception, rewarding TM38 (Fire Blast) instead of TM50 (Overheat), as Flannery does. He does reward TM50 in Generation IV, however.
- Blaine’s new design and cane in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver may be a reference to The Riddler, particularly the hat, cane and Blaine’s gym revolving around riddles.
- Blaine’s portrait in Pokémon Stadium is the only one to not use his headshot from Pokémon Red and Green promotional material. Instead, it uses his headshot from the manual of the Japanese version of Red and Green.
Design differences
Blaine has two separate character designs. The first one is from early Sugimori artwork for Pokémon Red and Green Versions seen in concept artwork[3] and the Japanese manual. In this design, Blaine dons a damaged military uniform worn, which resembles the Imperial Japan-era 98 Shiki-Gun-i. He is depicted as a balding man with light red hair to the back and side of his head. Furthermore, he lacks a moustache, and bears a more gaunt, albeit serious, facial expression. This more archaic design was reused in the anime (as Blaine's real look) and very briefly in the Pokémon Adventures manga as a disguise after his moustache was burned. Additionally, an unused sprite for this design would be seen in the SpaceWorld 1999 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, being used as a placeholder for the female Rocket Executive's sprite.[4]
Later, in Pokémon Blue and outside-Japan Pokémon Red and Blue Versions the artwork was revised and he started to be depicted as an older man with a mustache, and no hair on his scalp, wearing sunglasses and lab coat. This design was originally used for the Silph Chief. Despite the artwork changes, his new design was used in all Generation I main series games, including the Pokémon Red and Green Versions. This means that Blaine's design was probably changed very late in the production of Red and Green, since his official artwork and his in-game sprite are completely different portrayals. However, his Red and Green overworld sprite still shows him without glasses, while later in the Yellow Version, his glasses are clearly visible.
The reasons for changing the design is unknown; however, the Fame Checker in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen explains why he doesn't always wear sunglasses: "Blaine is said to remove his dark shades only when he is thinking up new quiz questions."
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blaine is shown wearing a hat. He wears more sophisticated clothing than his previous lab coat. He also sports a cane that resembles a question mark.
