Blaine

Blaine is a retired scientist and professional jokester, constantly pulling pranks on tourists and only takes off the

sunglasses when thinking hard (rumor says when thinking up new quiz questions, but he spread it so people don't take him

seriously)

He runs a popular quiz show on the radio and owns a big hotel

The gym is in the volcano and doubles as a monitor station for it

notes:

His anime design is his disguise

He actually burned off his mustache and this is a fake one

He used to breed Vulpix

He was born and raised on Cinnabar Island, along with his rival Fuji. Once, when exploring the Seafoam Islands, he was guided

down to the beach by Moltres, who inspired him to start training Fire types. His first fire pokemon was a Vulpix, as he was

familiar with the pokemon (having an Alolan Vulpix beforehand)

He was by Fuji's side when Amber died, and promised to do anything he could to help him. Blaine didn't even draw the line at

giving his DNA to create a biological superweapon! He had a kind of morbid curiosity that couldn't be sated. He dropped off

the project when it moved to New Island, being entrusted with Fuji's mansion. Sadly, it was burned down by team rocket

He tries to keep in touch with Fuji, but their relationship was never the same.

When you try to go to his gym, he gives a riddle in disguise. he hangs around in the disguise and is wearing it when you first

enter the gym

After being beaten by the trainer from pallet, he gets more involved with managing the community, speaks more geniuenly.
