"I am Gene, the Master of the Rock Club! Rock is good...Isn't rock good, ???...? Rock is hard and strong! Doesn't crumble under pressure! After you duel me, you'll know I'm right! Come! Show me what you're made of! Our duel will be played with 6 prizes! You won't get the Rock Medal unless you defeat me!"
"Wonderful... Your persistence - persistence that can even break rock - has led you to defeat me! You are worthy of receiving this Rock Medal! And take this booster pack, too. ...And another booster pack: Mystery."
"I look forward to the day we duel again!"

Trivia
Gene's deck in GB2, いわのうえにも３ねんデッキEven 3 Years on a Rock Deck, is a reference to a Japanese proverb; even a rock could be warmed if one sat on it for three years. The proverb is meant to teach the value of perseverance.
He looks Identical to Professor Oak. It is unknown if they have any relation to each other. The The fact that the the TCG games may not take place in the same world as the main series makes the issue even more confusing.
