Blaine (カツラ Katsura) serves as the seventh Gym Leader at Cinnabar Island's Gym. He specializes in Fire-type Pokémon and holds the Volcano Badge for the trainers that can defeat him.

In the Anime

Blaine's first appearance in the anime series was in the episode IL058: Riddle Me This. In the anime, Blaine had become disturbed by the fact that Cinnabar Island had become filled with tourists, and no serious trainers. This led to the decision that he would close up the Gym and open it in a secret location, and also open a hotel, all the while disguising himself by wearing a long-haired wig, fake mustache, and round sunglasses.

In his disguise, he would give out many riddles to tourists and visitors, including Ash and his friends. With Misty able to figure out many of the riddles, the group found the hidden Gym and figured out that Blaine was in a disguise the whole time. This then led to Ash's gym battle, where he used his Squirtle, Charizard, and Pikachu against Blaine's Ninetales, Rhydon, and the most powerful of the team, Magmar.

With Squirtle quickly defeated by Ninetales, and Charizard disobedient, Ash was left with Pikachu, who managed to beat Blaine's Rhydon. Blaine then unveiled his Magmar, who was more than a match for Pikachu. When Pikachu was in danger of falling into a lava pit below during the battle, Ash forfeited the match. After an incident where Team Rocket endangered the island, and destroyed the Gym, Ash, his friends, and Blaine had to fix the problem, where Charizard and Magmar developed a rivalry.

Blaine allowed Ash to have a rematch with him shortly after, this time over the volcano where the gym was located. Blaine using his Magmar caused Charizard to participate in the battle. After a hard fought battle, Charizard used Seismic Toss on Magmar, ending it. Upon leaving Blaine rewarded Ash with his Volcano Badge.

His Gym was filled with quiz machines that unlocked the doors leading up to him. If the player answers incorrectly, they are forced to battle a Gym member.

In the Generation II games, the volcano on Cinnabar Island has erupted forcing Blaine to relocate to the Seafoam Islands. In the Generation III remakes, Blaine is again the Cinnabar Gym Leader, with an updated appearance.
