History Characters / PokemonGoldFanmade

Gold's fifth Pokémon, caught while training his team to beat Whitney. He eventually trades it away for a female Machop.

* ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy: He takes the time to explain to Gold how Metapod and Kakuna's use of String Shot have reduced Quilava's speed, leaving it too slow to evade Scyther's attacks. He also explains how Fury Cutter's power doubles with each use after Gold noticed that the attack was hitting harder and harder.

* SignatureMon: She [[StarterMon starts with Chikorita]], but since her goal is to catch all Pokemon to complete her Pokedex, we won't be seeing Chikorita too much. That said, she does seem to spend more time with her Togepi.

!! Cyndaquil -> Quilava

* FantasticLivestock: She owns a Miltank farm.

* {{Tsundere}}: ''Extremely'' harsh type. He's mean to both [[{{Jerkass people]] and Pokémon, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he shows no hesitation]] [[HeroicSacrifice to cushion Kris' fall]], showing that deep down he cares about her. His Pokémon also show UndyingLoyalty towards him, fighting a huge load of Koffings while he was unconscious; with the implication beint that they know Silver cares about her deep down, but has huge trouble expressing it. And, to complete the package, he has [[FreudianExcuse an utterly heartbreaking reason]] to be so harsh.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: Whitney's Miltank only starts using [[DistractedByTheSexy Attract]] once Gold decides taking the fight seriously and she only starts using [[HealingFactor Drink Milk]] once Gold brings female Pokemon in his team, such as a female Nidoran and Muscle the Machop.

* RomanticFalseLead: For Kris; the two have a rather close relationship, but Kris lets him down gently before she and Gold leave Violet City. [[spoiler: And it already was a ForegoneConclusion that Kris will end up with SIlver.]]

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Silver treats his Pokémon very harshly. When Kris runs into him at Sprout Tower, he's kicking his own Zubat at another trainer's Hoothoot and has left his battered, unconscious Totodile to lie on the floor instead of returning it to its Poké Ball or tending to its injuries. This callousness shocks Kris and earns Silver a tongue-lashing.
* BerserkButton: Team Rocket's criminal actions, especially the maiming of Pokémon, for Silver. He may be an aloof and callous jerk to his own Pokémon, but when a hiker tries to sell him some Slowpoke tails, Silver—who has seen firsthand the horrible way in which these tails are harvested—begins trembling with barely-repressed rage.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Silver is an aloof {{Jerkass}} who [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals treats his Pokémon harshly, even kicking them]], but he hates Team Rocket with a passion for its criminal actions. The Slowpoke tails trafficking particularly revolts him.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Silver is a {{Jerkass}} that [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals treats his Pokémon horribly]] and refuses to associate himself with Gold and Kris despite them sharing his goal of stopping Team Rocket. However, when his MeleeATrois with Kris and Eusine gets interrupted by the temple collapsing, Silver shows no hesitation of [[HeroicSacrifice using his own body to soften Kris's fall]], showing that he does care about her, but is all {{Tsundere}} about it.

And, to complete the package, he has [[FreudianExcuse an utterly heartbreaking reason]] to be so harsh.

* BloodKnight: She's shown to be extremely competitive, and is always looking for a challenge - whether it is during a Pokémon battle or a bug-catching contest. When an Ace Trainer with seven badges challenge her, she's ecstatic at the prospect of using her full power.

* DoNotGoGentle: In episode 13 Gold defeats Whitney... But her Miltank single-handedly took down five of Gold's Pokemon, more than once. Gold had ran out of Potions and Revives by the time Muscle (his Machop) was knocked out again by Miltank [[GrievousBottleyHarm smashing Milk Drink's bottle on her head]], and Gold only won because his Wooper started evolving mid-fight.

* ThatOneBoss: In-Universe, the narration presents Whitney and her Miltanks as a dreaded BeefGate - no matter how many badges her challenger has. When Gold and Kris arrive in Goldenrod, they see scores of trainers going to the Pokemon Center to have the overworked nurses heal their battered Pokemon, and when Silver tries his hand at the Gym he first sees trainers who had lost so badly even their ''Pokeballs'' were damaged, and he himself is curbstomped by the Miltank she kept specifically for trainers at their first Gym [[ScissorsCutRock in spite of leading with a Gastly]]. Gold puts up a better fight than Silver, but he still loses to Whitney, who beats him ''six times in a single episode''. Even when fought for an eighth badge, she's a force to be reckoned with, as she uses a team of highly defensive Pokémon who know both healing moves and powerful attacks. A poor challenger finds this out the hard way when his team gets curbstomped twice in the same episode.

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Silver treats his Pokémon very harshly.
