Burgh (Japanese: アーティ Arti) is the Gym Leader of Castelia City's Gym, known officially as the Castelia Gym. He specializes in Bug-type Pokémon. He gives the Insect Badge to Trainers who defeat him.

In the games

Burgh appears in Pokémon Black and White as the Gym Leader of Castelia City's Gym, the third Gym to be challenged by the player. He is also an artist and apparently started his career in Nacrene City, which he often comes back to when he gets "artist's block." Trainers who defeat Burgh will receive the Insect Badge, along with TM76 (Struggle Bug).

He also reappears at N's Castle where he and the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Burgh returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Burgh gives away remains the same.

Quotes

Pokémon Black and White

Nacrene City

"Good day, Lenora. Find any good Fossils lately?"
"Eh? Just looking for a change of pace. Seems hectic or something around here. What's up?"
"Uh-huh. You are...<player>, is it? Are you raring to round up our robbers?"

Pinwheel Forest

  • Outside Pinwheel Forest
"This leads to Pinwheel Forest. If they manage to scuttle off into the forest, we might have trouble."
  • Inside Pinwheel Forest
"Well, you see... There are two ways out of Pinwheel Forest--the road that goes straight and the path that winds through the woods. I will take the straight road after them! If they're not there, I'll block the exit. Would you please take the other way and check whether Team Plasma is hiding in there somewhere? You'll run into a lot of Trainers, but it's basically a single path, so I'm sure you won't get lost. Come on! Let's do this for Lenora's sake!"
"Mm-hmm? Team Plasma hasn't come in this direction... The forest's bug Pokémon are quiet, too."
"Oh, sweet! The bug Pokémon were getting all worked up, so here I come, and what do I spy with my little eye? This important looking guy! Are you here to help your friends, whom I defeated?"
"Hmmm... We got back the stolen skull and if we corner them, there's no telling what they might do. I think I'll be heading back Lenora... Well now. Well... I'll be waiting for your challenge at Castelia City's Pokémon Gym. Yes indeed. I'm certainly looking forward to it!"

Castelia City

"Ah hah! You're the one who fought Team Plasma in Pinwheel Forest... If I remember, your name is... <player>! Come to challenge the Gym, I suppose? Aww. Sorry, but could you wait a bit? I was informed that Team Plasma has shown up! In fact... Come with me! I'm going to the dock at Prime Pier!"
  • At Prime Pier
"Come on! This way! Team Plasma... They took this young lady's Pokémon"
"Iris... You did everything you could"
"Agreed! No fear--we will get that Pokémon back. Right, <player>? Having said that, finding a person or Pokémon here in Castelia City will be like finding a needle in a haystack."
"<Player>, let's go! Iris! You stay by that young lady's side."
  • On the main street
"That way! M'hm. There, heading toward the Gym?!"
  • On Gym Street
"This is definitely the place. Looks like our only option is to battle them and go in."
"Oh please! <Player>, I'll leave that one to you!"
"Team Plasma is inside. The stolen Pokémon may be there as well. Okay, I'm going in!
  • In Team Plasma's hideout
"So, what would you say is the guiding principle of Team Plasma, anyway? "Take what you want from people"?
"Here in Castelia, we have a lot of different kinds of people. Everyone's ways of thinking and lifestyles are very different. Honestly, there's something about what you're saying I don't quite understand."
"One thing we all have in common is that we all care a lot about Pokémon. Even meeting for the first time people can talk about Pokémon. Talk or battle or trade... Remember your speech at Accumula Town? You were responsible for leading me to rethink my relationship with Pokémon. For that, I thank you. At that time, I made a promise... I swore to myself that I would dedicate myself to Pokémon even more strongly! What you guys are doing... Aren't you going to strengthen the bond between people and Pokémon even more?"
"Gah! What do we do if anything's happened to the other stolen Pokémon?"
"What is everyone planning to do now?"
"Uh-hm. That's great! Iris is a dazzling Pokémon Trainer, but maybe not at home in the big city yet? So, a little give-and-take, hm! People and Pokémon need help to each other out."
"Well, then, <player>. I'll be waiting in the Gym."

Castelia Gym

  • Before battle
"Thanks again for your help. My bug Pokémon are scurrying with excitement about getting to battle you. Let's get straight to it!"
  • During battle (the first non-KO hit)
"Snick! My switch was turned on!"
  • After sending out last Pokémon
"Could it be time to bug out of here? No, no, I refuse to be squashed!"
  • When defeated
"Is it over? Has my muse abandoned me?"
  • After being defeated
"Aww... I lost. Whatever! Losing to you doesn't bug me because you are a-MAZ-ingly strong! This is the Gym Badge! You beat me, so it's yours!"
"It's the Insect Badge! It's insectible--I mean, incredible! If you have three Badges, Pokémon up to Lv. 40 will obey you, including traded Pokémon. Because I'm a generous guy, I'll also give you this."
"Struggle Bug also lowers the Sp. Atk of the target that was damaged. I'm the best guy to tell you, it's the little things that count!"
"How many discoveries have you made since you started your adventure? When I was a kid, my innocent heart was captured by the beauty of bug Pokémon. I drew with them and battled with them, and after all this time, I continue to discover new things. A world shared with Pokémon is a world swarming with mysteries."
  • Post game:
"Heya! This is what I do. I keep raising Pokémon and drawing pictures inspired by the Pokémon I raise. It's what I love to do. My life hums with energy. What could be better?"

N's Castle

"Bianca asked us to come, too."
"Your Pokémon, they are doing their best for you, right? Why would you want to be separated from them like that?"

Badge Case

Umm... That's right. You! Use Bug-type Pokémon!

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Castelia Gym

  • Before battle
"Good work back there in the sewers. My Bug-type Pokémon have been scurrying with excitement about getting to battle you. I'd say my Bug-type Pokémon are pretty great! C'mon, let me brag a little! Dwebble's round little eyes are cute! It's resilient and reliable! My ace is Leavanny! It's really the best! I think it's so sweet how it makes clothes for other Pokémon out of leaves. Of course, I'm really proud of all of my Pokémon! Well now… Let's get right to it!"
  • During battle (the first non-KO hit)
"Lights, please! Time to show you what Bug-type Pokémon are made of!"
  • After sending out last Pokémon
"Mmm… I've got a bad feeling about this! Could I be in trouble?"
  • When defeated
"Hmm… It's over! You're incredible!"
  • After being defeated
"Oh hoo… You are very strong indeed! I guess it's no surprise I lost. Here! Take this Insect Badge! I think it'll suit you!"
"Ooh! The Insect Badge suits you even better than I thought it would! If you have three Badges, Pokémon up to Lv. 40 will obey you, including traded Pokémon. And, huh, you know what, I'll also give you this."
"Struggle Bug also lowers the Sp. Atk of the target that was damaged. I'm the best guy to tell you this. It's the little things that count!"

Burgh in the anime

Burgh debuted in Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!. He first appears in Pinwheel Forest when Ash and Iris climb the tallest tree in the forest, and they were surprised to find Burgh in a cocoon-like cloak, hanging from the tree. He introduces himself to the gang and shows them his sketches of the forest. Suddenly a Sewaddle, who has taken a liking to Burgh, jumps up on his shoulder. He tells the trio that the Sewaddle had been accompanying him through the forest, even though it is not his Pokémon.

The next day, Burgh and the kids discover an ill Patrat, and he is able to heal it with some medicine. Suddenly Sewaddle is attached to a Deerling and falls into a raging river along with Ash. Burgh sends out his Leavanny, which uses String Shot to save them. Sewaddle's leaf on its head is damaged, but Leavanny fashions it a new one. Later, Burgh says his goodbyes to the group.

Burgh appears once more in A Venipede Stampede!. He and the group investigate mysterious sounds coming from the sewer system in Castelia City. They discover and injured Venipede that Ash rescues from a pipe. Burgh quickly treats is wounds but wonders why it is in the sewer in the first place when Venipede live in the wasteland outside of the city. When the group returns to the surface, they find that a swarm of Venipede is reeking havoc on the city.

Burgh becomes somewhat angry to find out that the mayor plans to get rid of the Venipede using force and protests the idea. The mayor eventually decides to let him handle it. His idea was to find the leader of the Venipede and have Nurse Joy's Audino use Heal Pulse on it. He, Ash, and Iris eventually locate the leader only to see it be attacked by Trip and his Lampent. Burgh orders him to stop and tells him that he is only making things worse.

Once Nurse Joy's Audino uses Heal Pulse on the leader, Burgh plays his Bug Flute and leads the Venipede out of the City. He sees Ash and his friends off at the end of the episode when they decided to go with Professor Juniper to investigate the Desert Resort.

Ash battled him in Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!. Ash won the battle, earning him the Insect Badge.

Burgh appeared in flashbacks in Climbing the Tower of Success! and Battling the Leaf Thieves!.
