Brycen

Template:GymLeaderBoxBrycen (Japanese: ハチク Hachiku) is Gym Leader of Icirrus City's gym, and is the seventh gym to be challenged by the player. He will award the player the Freeze Badge if the player defeats him. He first appeared in Pokémon Black and White.

Game

After the gym battle, he will be at Dragonspiral Tower for the event where N captures Reshiram or Zekrom in Pokémon Black and White, respectively.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 he appears in Virbank City in Pokéstar Studios acting for as the villain of a new film and serves as an actor. If the game is beaten, he can be found in Icirrus City if Memory Link is used. Following the events of Black and White, he had a talk with Alder in which he decides he tells him of his resignation as Gym Leader. Marshal eventually enters and hears them talking, with Marshal eventually questioning him on his decision. Brycen reveals he decided to go back to acting, so that he could act alongside Pokémon and in doing so, help the people conflicted by Team Plasma's ideology for Pokémon liberation. Marshal is worried he may injure himself again as it is revealed he suffered a terrible wound while acting when he was younger. Brycen however appreciating Marshal's concern claims he will be fine, as he now has a goal, different from before when he just acted with no real sentiment but rather only for being cool. Alder asks Marshal if training under him has helped him understand his relationship with Pokémon, and he says it has and asks Alder to spar with him. Alder accepts and Brycen serves as a judge.
