Black (Golden Boys)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Black is a trainer from Johto and a character from the Golden Boys manga series. He is based on the rival character from Pokémon Gold and Silver. He has a strong hatred for what he considers to be "weak" Trainers, such as Gold, as well as Team Rocket, who calls him a traitor.
Despite his low opinion of Gold, they are forced to work together in Gold and Black VS Team Rocket. He defeats Gold in battle at a tournament in Let's Use Fighting Type Pokémon!!, however, his tactics were ruled unfair so Gold was declared the winner. Gold defeats him in battle in The Legendary Pokémon.
