− | In the past | + | In the past he apparently worked in the army and was a strict taskmaster. His faith in electric-type Pokémon comes from the fact that they had saved his life when he was fighting in the war. In ''[[Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions|Pokémon: Red, Blue, Green]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Yellow Version|Yellow Versions]]'' (as well as ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]''), Surge was the third gym leader [[Red]] battled. But due to the cautious nature Surge had developed during his military service, he had sealed himself off from the rest of the room with an electrical barrier, that could only be deactivated by pressing special switches hidden within wastebaskets. After being defeated, Surge gave Red the Thunderbadge as well as TM 24: Thunderbolt (Or TM 34: Shock Wave in ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen''). |
− | + | Surge could also be challenged by [[Gold]] in the ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]]'' ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|and Crystal Versions]]'' (as well as the ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]''). He was the first [[Kanto]] gym leader that Gold could battle in the game, and would once more give away the Thunderbadge upon defeat (as well as TM 34: Shock Wave in ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver''). In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', he later appears outside the Power Plant between the hours of 9AM and 11AM every day, where he will exchange Pokégear numbers with Gold if he shows him a Pikachu. Calling him on Friday mornings will cause him to come to the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City for a rematch. After being defeated in a rematch, he will appear at Saffron City's Magnet Train station, where he will trade his own English PIkachu to the player for a Pikachu that was caught in the Viridan Forest. | |

− | + | *Lt. Surge appeared in an episode of the Pokémon anime, where his only Pokémon was a Raichu. He taunted [[Red#Ash Ketchum|Ash Ketchum]] for not evolving his Pikachu and often teased Ash by calling him a babty. But Ash was ultimately able to prove himself when his Pikachu defeated Surge's Raichu in their rematch. | |
− | + | *He appears in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga initially as one of the villainous gym leaders serving under [[Giovanni]] as part of [[Team Rocket]]. He uses the St. Anne for his criminal activities and nearly kills Red after he stumbles upon them. He captures [[Zapdos]] for Team Rocket, but is defeated in the final battles of the ''Red''/''Blue''/''Green'' arc by Red in Saffron City. He later appears near the end of the ''Yellow'' arc to battle the Elite Four for Team Rocket. He is supposed to fight alongside Red but due to his absence he is paired with [[Bill]] instead in battle against [[Bruno]] until Red returns, at which point Surge draws back. In the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc he was shown to have retained his gym leader status and used the S.S. Aqua to investigate and attempt to defeat [[Pryce|the mysterious new Team Rocket leader]], only to be defeated. After discovering proof that [[Gold]] and [[Silver]] are alive, he enlists [[Morty]]'s help in tracking them to see what they know about the Mask of Ice. During the competition with the Johto gym leaders, he is paired against Morty in a match that ends with a draw. [[Raikou]] chooses Surge as its master, and he uses Raikou to escape being trapped on the bullet train and to battle the Mask of Ice alongside [[Misty]] and [[Blaine]], although they are ultimately defeated. | |
