Gary OakBeing Professor Oak's grandson, Gary knows a lot about pokémon. He always tries to impress Ash with his pokémon knowledge, with whom he's been a rival since they were both very young.

History

In the year 2000, Blue (as Gary's called in the game) was elected the new Viridian Gym Leader. A role which he didn't perform all that well since he, like his antecessor Giovani, was absent most of the time from the gym. However, it was for a very different reason. Giovanni was busy with Team Rocket, being its leader, but Gary was busy training his pokémon.

Gary now investigates Pokémon Fossil Resurrection on an island between Cinnabar Island and Pallet Town with his assistant.

Later, when Ash left for Hoenn, Gary stayed in Kanto and became a Pokémon Researcher like his grandfather.
