| Name: Lt. Surge City: Vermillion Badge: Thunder Badge Favorite Type: Electric Appearence: Description: Lt. Surge is the third gym leader and resides in Vermilion City. He is an expert on Electric-type Pokémon. In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen, Lt. Surge is depicted as a paranoid American war veteran. His paranoia is shown when the player must find and activate three hidden keys in the Gym to challenge Surge. In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen, one of the lesser trainers states Lt. Surge was his "strict C.O." in the war; in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, another trainer states that Lt. Surge saved his life. In the Red and Blue games he sports a Voltorb, Pikachu and Raichu, but in Yellow he sports only a supercharged Raichu, much like in the anime. In Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, he is the first Gym Leader of Kanto that can be challenged. When defeated, he gives the player a Thunder Badge. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Lt. Surge is an ex-Team Rocket Elite, and sailor on the S.S. Anne. He also served in a war as a commanding officer, using his Pokémon to defeat enemies. In the anime, Lt. Surge is a tall, muscular tough guy who calls any opponent who hasn't beaten him a "baby". In the anime, he is portrayed as a "gentle giant" at times. Surge compliments Misty when she, Ash and Brock first entered the Gym, thinking it was Misty who had come to challenge him. When he battles Ash, his Raichu defeats Ash's Pikachu. However, because Lt. Surge didn't give his Pokémon the chance to learn the speed and agility it could have as a Pikachu (as he evolved it right away), Ash wins the rematch by ordering Pikachu to wear out Raichu by dodging its attacks. | |
