In the ''Gold, Silver & Crystal'' saga, he attempts to become Gym Leader of Viridian City, but injuries sustained from when he was captured by the Elite Four prevent him from doing so. After recovering from his injuries, he aids his allies in fighting the Mask of Ice (Pryce), the leader of Neo Team Rocket. Red returns to a leading role in the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' saga, where he teams up with Blue and Green to rescue Professor Oak, who has been kidnapped and taken to the Sevii Islands. While there, he encounters a newly revived Team Rocket and the Pokémon Deoxys. After his team loses to them, Mewtwo appears to help them.

He and his companions are eventually freed from their petrified forms in the ''Emerald'' saga. Red appears again in Hoenn during the ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' saga when he and Green confront Maxie and Archie. Though his Venusaur is capable of Mega Evolution, they are defeated after Groudon becomes Primal Groudon, but are saved by Giovanni. Red's Pokémon include Saur (Venusaur), Poli (Poliwrath), Snor (Snorlax), Aero (Aerodactyl), Gyara (Gyarados), and Pika (Pikachu). While Red was frozen by the Elite Four, Pika teamed up with Yellow in order to save him and while Red left for the hot springs, he again asked Yellow to take care of Pika.

, though the ferocity of their rivalry is toned down as the series progresses. He is Professor Oak's grandson, and has a sister named Daisy. In the first arc, Blue attempts to capture the mythical Pokémon Mew but backs down as soon as he realizes his opponent is far superior. Witnessing Red's attempt to catch it without hesitation sparks his resentment. He later encounters Red again in Viridian Forest, when he begins to dislike Red even more when he helps heal the wounded young of a Kangaskhan he has been trying to capture. Seeing each other's faults, Blue and Red become official rivals. After Red saves him when he becomes possessed by a wild Gastly in the Pokémon Tower, Blue collaborates with him to defeat Team Rocket member Koga. When they later encounter, they accidentally trade all their Pokémon with each other, so Blue takes the liberty of training Red's Pokémon to their limits. The two rivals work together again, this time with the help of Green, when Professor Oak is kidnapped by Team Rocket, narrowly defeating Koga again as well as the captured Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Applying everything he learned from Red, Blue faces off against Red in the final match of the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League Tournament.

were two of the Masked Children, and had escaped from the grasp of the Mask of Ice, the leader of Neo Team Rocket, at a young age, while others abducted along with them remained and became the Mask of Ice's servants. Because of this, she shares a close bond with Silver and frequently treats him like a younger brother. She later helps out in the final battle against the Mask of Ice by using the three legendary birds with Red and Blue, and overcomes her phobia of birds whilst protecting Silver. In the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' saga, Green appears while traveling to the Sevii Islands to meet her parents. However, the psychic Pokémon Deoxys captures her parents, causing Green to faint in shock after being injured during the encounter. When she wakes, not fully recovered, she and Blue discover that Red was defeated by Deoxys, and Green rushes to his side after he runs away to recollect himself. She reveals to him the real reason why Professor Oak wanted Red and the others to return their Pokédexes and Green resolves to train, despite not being fully healed, to fight against Team Rocket and Deoxys. In the end, they manage to stop Deoxys and disband the newly revived Team Rocket. However, she is turned to stone in the process. She, along with the Kanto Pokédex holders, appears in the ''Emerald'' saga, still encased in stone. At the end of the chapter, she escapes from the stone. She and the other Pokédex Holders defeat the fake Kyogre by unleashing all of their ultimate moves. In the aftermath, she participates in a tournament against the other nine Pokédex Holders. After the events during the ''Emerald'' Saga, Green appears alongside Red in Hoenn during the ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' saga, confronting Maxie and Archie, defeating their Pokémon by Mega Evolving her Blastoise. Red and Green are then defeated when the two villains perform the "Primal Reversion" on Kyogre and Groudon, overpowering them and knocking them out. They are later revealed to have survived thanks to Giovanni who took them on his airship. Green's Pokémon include Blasty (Blastoise), Jiggly (Wigglytuff), a Snubbull, Clefty (Clefable), and Ditty (Ditto).

Yellow

, also known as Amarillo del Bosque Verde, and known in Japan as is a Trainer born in the Viridian Forest. A character exclusive to Pokémon Adventures, she has the powers to heal Pokémon, hear their thoughts and slight psychokinesis, and it is said that there is only one child who inherits this power every ten years from Viridian Forest. She is a happy-go-lucky girl who dislikes Pokémon battles because she cannot bring herself to hurt Pokémon and has developed a battling style where both sides are not hurt at all if possible. There have also been hints throughout the manga that she has a crush on Red. She first appears in the final volume of the first arc, though her name is not revealed until the ''Yellow'' saga. Having lost her way in the Viridian Forest, Yellow is attacked by a wild Dratini.

because of her mysterious powers that allow her to heal and communicate with Pokémon, which counter the same powers of Lance, the leader of the Elite Four. Yellow fights against the Elite Four while defending Pika, Red's Pikachu, which had escaped from them. Despite opposition from the Kanto Leaders who are Red's friends, Yellow is supported by Professor Oak. Yellow encounters the Elite Four and meets Bill and Blaine. Yellow also trains with Blue. Yellow then joins forces with Bill, Blue, Green, and the former admins of Team Rocket, and the eight of them travel to Cerise Island in order to defeat the Elite Four. In the final battle, with the help of Giovanni, who also has special powers, Yellow defeats Lance. She stops the Elite Four from gaining control of a mysterious and powerful Pokémon, later revealed to be Lugia. Her true gender is revealed at the end of Volume 6, but she puts off informing Red of it. In the ''Gold, Silver & Crystal'' saga, Yellow travels to Johto and meets up with

while pursuing Lugia. It is revealed that Yellow was the one who woke up the three legendary beasts - Suicune, Raikou, and Entei - from within the Burned Tower in Ecruteak. Yellow and Crystal are then separated by Lugia at sea. After the attack, Yellow and her uncle wash up on shore, where they are brought to the Pokémon daycare center run by an elderly couple. Soon, the center is attacked by a group of Neo Team Rocket members who seem only to be interested in Yellow's hat. In truth, the two feathers on her hat are the Silver Wing from

and the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh, the keys to traveling in time, stolen from the Mask of Ice many years ago and planted there by Blue. After fleeing from the center, Yellow continues to Ilex Forest, where she finds Crystal, Silver, Red, Blue, and Green battling the Mask of Ice. As the Mask of Ice captures Celebi and travels back in time, they find that Gold is trapped within time and needs the feathers to be freed. Gold and Yellow finally realize that the feathers are on her hat, and she is forced to take it off in front of Red in order to save Gold. At this point, Red finally learns Yellow's true gender. During the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' arc, Yellow returns to Viridian City. While there, she meets Silver, who believes that he may have originally come from this area and had ties to the Viridian Gym before he was kidnapped by Mask of Ice, and is now looking for his family. With her aid and the sudden arrival of the Team Rocket operatives Orm and Sird whom the two promptly face in a battle, Silver learns that he was the son of Giovanni, former Viridian City Gym leader and head of Team Rocket. After he faints and is kidnapped by the evil duo, Yellow gives chase on her Butterfree, and soon manages to break into the Team Rocket helicopter to rescue him. As Yellow grows angry, her Pokémon’s levels rise to the eighties due to her power and the special training by Blue earlier, making her as dangerous as the other Kanto champions in battle. She later reunites with Red, Blue and Green, and helps permanently disband Team Rocket in the Sevii Islands, but is turned to stone while doing so. She is freed from the stone in the ''Emerald'' Arc, where Yellow commands Pika (Red's Pikachu), Chuchu (her Pikachu), and Gold's Pichu to use Volt Tackle together to finish off Guile's giant Kyogre. Yellow's Pokémon are Ratty (Raticate, her first and evolved Pokémon), Dody (Dodrio), Gravvy (Golem, given by Brock as a Graveler,) Omny, (Omastar, given by Misty as an Omanyte,) Kitty (Butterfree) and Chuchu (Pikachu). Yellow has a special bond with both her Pikachu, Chuchu, and Red's Pikachu, Pika, who have an egg together, which later hatches into Pibu, Gold’s Pichu. Yellow was voted as the fourth most popular character in the series in Japan 2011.

In the beginning of the third arc, Gold catches Silver after he steals a Totodile from Professor Elm, and later blames him for stealing a backpack full of Pokémon who he lives with. They cross paths multiple times throughout the arc, but eventually become friends, and their rivalry becomes less intense. Along with Silver and Crystal, Gold fights with the other Pokédex holders against the Mask of Ice, managing to cure Pryce (the true identity of the Mask of Ice) of his sadness with the help of Celebi. He sacrifices himself without hesitation to stop Pryce, trapping himself in the flow of time, but is saved by Celebi. After Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver are petrified into stone by the after-effects of the energy blast caused by Deoxys, Gold and Crystal appear in the Emerald saga in hopes of reviving their old companions, the statues trapped at the end of the top room of the Battle Tower. After Gold's friends are released from stone, he, alongside Emerald and all previous Pokédex holders, fight Guile Hideout, and after defeating him, host a Pokémon Battle tournament.

In Volume 22, it is revealed that Ruby also owns a Celebi that he came across in Johto. Ruby may dislike Pokémon Battles, but he is a capable Pokémon Trainer in his own right. At the age of six, he actually liked climbing trees and battling Pokémon. However, when he injured himself while protecting a girl from a Salamence, the girl became frightened and cried. Ruby assumed at the time that the reason the girl was scared was because he fought too fiercely. From that day onwards, he tried not to battle, only resorting to it when no one else was watching him or he has no other choice, focusing only on the beauty and non-combat qualities of his Pokémon. It is revealed in Volume 21 that Ruby likes Sapphire and she was the girl who Ruby had rescued, though neither of them recognized the other when they met at the beginning of the arc.

, who is in the process of running away from his new home in Littleroot Town. While saving Ruby from two Mightyena, Sapphire injures herself. In gratitude for saving him, Ruby tends to her wounds and makes an outfit for her. In Volume 19, it is shown that the reason why Sapphire chose to wear the clothes he made for her was because he wrote in a letter enclosed with the clothes that the clothes would definitely fit her. Sapphire gets another outfit change at the end of Volume 19. Once again, Ruby makes the clothes for her, and tells her personally that the new clothes will fit her. Sapphire may be wild and tomboyish, but she is a devoted Pokémon Trainer who would go to any lengths to achieve her goals and protect what she treasures most. She is very upset by Ruby declaring that he would rather go back to Johto than stand beside the Gym Leaders as they prepare to face Team Aqua and Team Magma. She persuades Winona to battle her, and the Gym Leader is so impressed by her fighting spirit and her will to defend Hoenn that she gave Sapphire the Feather Badge. In Volume 21, Sapphire is revealed to have a crush on Ruby, though it had been hinted on several occasions before that. In the Emerald arc, however, Ruby claims to have forgotten the events during the Groudon and Kyogre affair including their confession of their feelings for each other due to the time void while leaving Mirage Island; whether or not this is true has yet to be proven. In the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire arc, it's hinted that Ruby was probably faking and that he seems to have feelings for Sapphire. The reason for Sapphire's wild, tomboyish personality is due to an incident that occurred when she and Ruby met briefly at the age of five. The two were attacked by a wild (later revealed to be Zinnia's) Salamence. Ruby protected Sapphire, leading her to believe that she should stand up for herself more. Because of this belief, she chose to abandon her docile personality, turning her attention to Pokémon Battles. She did not recognize Ruby when they encountered again, only realizing his identity when she saw the scar on his forehead which he received during the Salamence attack. Sapphire is based on May, the female playable character from Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. However, Sapphire's character is notably different from the other two versions of May, especially the version from the anime, in terms of personality and attitude. In the ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' arc, Sapphire returns as a main character. She was voted as the fifth most popular character in the series in Japan 2011, tied with Diamond.

has hired him to catch the legendary Jirachi. Arrogant and impatient, despite his great interest and expert knowledge in Pokémon battling, he claims to not like Pokémon very much, claiming that his belief is that Pokémon cannot win in a battle by using the trainer's faith in them over strategy. However, this belief shifts when he acquires Sceptile, Sudowoodo and Dusclops from the Battle Frontier, coming to accept them more as friends rather than tools. He appears to be extremely short, and he is actually shorter than he looks. Under his long sleeved clothes he has high platform shoes, and he always holds a pair of external mechanical hands which he holds with his real hands. However, these are mostly tactical places to keep most of his capturing equipment; for example, his platform shoes include several rows with different kinds of Pokéballs. He also has a rare ability to calm Pokémon by making them remember their birthplace. Emerald does so using soil from the Pokémon's birthplace, which is compacted and placed into a special gun he carries. By shooting the ground the Pokémon is standing on, the feeling can calm the Pokémon in a matter of seconds.

rings. She does not give her name to "commoners"; therefore, her given name was previously unknown. However, her name was revealed as Platinum to coincide with the recently released (at the time) game, '' Pokémon Platinum Version''. The Berlitz family tradition is for members coming of age to travel to the peak of Mt. Coronet to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of Berlitz's butler, Sebastian, her father hired two bodyguards to protect her in her journey. Professor Rowan provided her with three Pokédexes, three Pokétches, and three of his starter Pokémon so that Platinum would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research. Due to a mix-up, she does not travel with her intended bodyguards, and instead ends up with Dia and Pearl, who believe they are on a game show and that they will win a prize for taking her to Mt. Coronet; her real bodyguards are later revealed to be trapped in the Distortion World. When Platinum discovers this, she feels betrayed and stops traveling with Diamond and Pearl for a while. Later, they make up and become friends again. Platinum is very competitive; over the course of her story, she enters contests and battled gym leaders. She is also shown to be sheltered as a result of her upbringing, and it is revealed at one point that she never learned to ride a bike, though she is immediately forced to learn.

Looker suggests challenging the Frontier Brains of the Sinnoh Battle Frontier so that they may reveal any information that they know. Platinum's design is based on the female player character of ''Pokémon Diamond'', ''Pearl'', and ''Platinum'', Dawn. She was voted as the eleventh most popular character in the series in Japan 2011.

Villainous teams


Team Rocket/Neo Team Rocket

In Pokémon Adventures, Team Rocket has their own mnemonic for the word "Rocket": "Raid On the City, Knock out... Evil Tusks". Three Gym Leaders - Lt. Surge, Sabrina and Koga - serve directly under the first incarnation of Team Rocket. A fourth Gym Leader, Blaine, used to work for Team Rocket as their scientist, but now joins the alliance of Kanto Gym Leaders not affiliated with Team Rocket (Brock, Misty and Erika). The first incarnation of

is led by Giovanni - the Gym Leader of Viridian City and deputised by three high-profile members of Team Rocket - Ken, Al and Harry, which proclaim themselves as an "Elite Trio". They aim to exploit Pokémon and conquer the world. Pryce, the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town, leads the first incarnation of Neo Team Rocket under a masked disguise called Mask of Ice. In the past, he captured Ho-Oh and used it to recruit six talented youngsters that would help him achieve his goal of travelling through time. Carl and Sham were based on the designs of the Neo Rocket Executives in ''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Pokémon Silver''. Will and Karen, like Carl and Sham, were loyal to Pryce (and thus saw his face behind the mask) but after Pryce's disappearance, formed a new Elite Four with ex-Team Rocket deputy Koga and former Elite Four member Bruno. Finally, Green and Silver, who were kidnapped by Pryce and thus never saw his face, escaped from Pryce when they had the chance, becoming recognized Pokédex holders that contributed to Pryce's defeat in the voids of time. Carr, Orm and Sird are the deputies of the second incarnation of Team Rocket, exclusive to Pokémon Adventures. They call themselves the Three Beasts. Carr reacted angrily when he found out that Giovanni was searching for his son, and thus tried to wrestle control of Team Rocket. He also attempted to revive Team Rocket at the start of the ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' arc, but was stopped by the Four Generals, who claimed that those who do not follow Giovanni's ideal were not truly representative of Team Rocket. It was also revealed that Sird was originally a founding member of Team Galactic, who pretended to be loyal to Team Rocket but was in fact meant to capture Deoxys for Team Galactic. Before "joining" Team Rocket, she came across the weakened Maxie and Archie and presented a sword and armor to the winner of a fight to the death between Maxie and Archie. Due to an ankle injury sustained on her escape from Kanto, Sird assumed control of a Team Galactic grunt's body and continued operations using his body. The second incarnation of Neo Team Rocket, led by Archer, Ariana, Proton and Petrel, who are collectively named as the Four Generals, appears in the ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' arc. They aimed to control Arceus, the deity of Pokémon, in order to convince their former leader Giovanni to return. They achieved this by fooling the arc's main protagonists (Gold, Silver and Crystal) into helping them. Arceus created the creation trio of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, and all appeared to be ready for Giovanni's return. Giovanni did indeed return, but with Lance and Pryce, both of which were antagonists of previous arcs, and worked together with the three main protagonists to stop the creation trio from destroying the world. * Giovanni (): * : ** : ** Al ():: ** Harry (): * : ** Carl (): ** Sham (): * Three Beasts (): ** Carr (): ** Orm (): ** Sird (): * : ** Archer (): ** Ariana (): ** Proton (): ** Petrel ():


Team Aqua and Team Magma

Team Aqua and Team Magma are the criminal entities based in Hoenn. Led by Archie and Maxie respectively, the two teams are portrayed very differently in Pokémon Adventures. Team Aqua is the more established organization that aims to expand the sea; its leader is even the boss of a television station, thus allowing Team Aqua to cover up their actions, including the ending of volcanic activity at Mt. Chimney. Team Magma is the smaller, more disjointed organization that aims to expand the land, but often has little sense of direction. During the climax of the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' arc, the two leaders strike a deal to reach the bottom of the sea together. They later assume control of the Blue Orb and Red Orb respectively. However, Archie and Maxie lose control of the orbs, which sink into their bodies. Kyogre and Groudon eventually reach Sootopolis City and start clashing once again. Even after the orbs are knocked out of Archie and Maxie's bodies, the clash continues, and after the clash is stopped, Archie and Maxie re-emerge with greater wickedness and savagery in their minds, and announce their intention to crush anyone that dares to defy them. In the ''Emerald'' arc, Guile Hideout's real identity was revealed as Archie. He was the one who had won the sword and armor from Sird, having beaten Maxie in a fight to the death, and managed to summon a giant Kyogre-like monster to expand the sea, but ultimately disappeared in a flash of light after losing his armour, as well as control of the Battle Frontier's rental Pokémon.
