'''Pryce''' is the seventh gym leader faced in ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon: Gold Version, Silver]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal]]'' versions. His specialty is Ice-type Pokémon.

Pryce was a veteran Pokémon trainer who served as the gym leader of the Mahogany Town gym. He had trained Pokémon for about fifty years as of ''Gold'', ''Silver'' and ''Crystal''. He was very in touch with Pokémon, saying that he had seen and suffered much in his lifetime and that Pokémon similarly have many experiences in their own lifetimes. He also often made metaphorical comparisons to winter and the cold in general. The secret to his strength is apparently daily meditation under a waterfall to strengthen both his mind and body.

In ''Gold'', ''Silver'' and ''Crystal'', he was challenged and defeated by [[Gold]]. Pryce then assured Gold that his strong will would allow him to overcome all of life's obstacles, and awarded him with the Glacierbadge as well as TM16: Icy Wind. He also told Gold that he and his Pokémon would be together for many years, so they should cherish their time together.

In ''Gold'', ''Silver'' and ''Crystal'', he has the following Pokémon:

Pryce appears in ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'' as the seventh opponent in the Gym Leader's Castle. In this game his roster consists of a Piloswine, Dewgong, [[Cloyster]], [[Ursaring]], [[Donphan]] and [[Jynx]] in the R1 battles, and [[Tentacruel]], [[Articuno]], [[Quagsire]], [[Girafarig]], Piloswine and [[Hitmontop]] in R2.

In ''[[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]'', he is the seventh opponent and uses a Seel in battle.

*Pryce appeared in three subsequent episodes of the Pokémon anime, which gave him a tragic past. It was shown that he was a champion trainer in his youth until he was badly burned in battle and then his Piloswine left while he was bedridden and never returned. Feeling abandoned, he became cold-hearted and bitter, believing that Pokémon were only good for battling. Although Pryce defeated [[Red#Ash Ketchum|Ash]] in their first battle, his disposition softened after they found his Piloswine frozen in ice, where it had been looking for medicine for Bryce all along, and revived it. Pryce then forfeited his next match with Ash.

*Within the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Pryce was depicted as the main villain of the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc. He was wheelchair bound but had powers over ice (and some over time) which he used to pose as the Mask of Ice and become the new leader of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Giovanni]]'s absence. It is eventually revealed that years ago he was friends with [[Professor Oak]], [[Agatha]], [[Kurt]] and the couple who ran the Pokémon daycare center until an incident resulting in the loss of his two favorite [[Lapras]] which caused him to become sullen and withdraw from his friends into isolation. As the Mask of Ice, he captured and brainwashed children to becoming his loyal servants, such as Green and [[Silver]] (who escaped), and [[Will]] and [[Karen]] (who joined him willingly). His ultimate goal was to create a GS Ball with the feathers from [[Ho-Oh]] and [[Lugia]] for use of capturing [[Celebi]] for use in traveling back in time to save his Pokémon. Battling [[Gold]] and the other trainers in the meantime, his identity was not revealed until the final chapters of the arc, when he succeeded in capturing Celebi and began traveling back in time. However, Gold was able to follow him and destroy the GS Ball, which freed Celebi and left Pryce trapped within the time vortex with seemingly no way to escape. However, at the same time he heard a song that Oak and the others had written for him a long time ago, and the song finally achieved its intended purpose of warming Pryce's heart.
