Hometown:  Pallet Town

League Status:  Lost in the Indigo League's 4th round.

Hair:  Brown

Background
This character seemed to be an in and out of Ash's life.  It seems that Gary is out there to prove that he is once and for all better than Ash.  He is also Professor Oak's Grandson and came from the same town as Pallet, so it seems that Professor Oak and Ash know him from before the series started.  He is also the second known character to have seen the Legendary Mewtwo and, in fact, had to fight it with his Arcanine and his Nidoking.  At the beginning of the Johto Journeys, it seems that the rivalry between him and Ash is revived after his Eevee defeated Ash's Pikachu.

Personality
 Gary first started out to show that he was as good of a trainer as his Grandfather, Professor Oak.  However, you only see his major competition as Ash.  Gary is over conscious at times, but he did pop into somewhat of a reality when Ash was battling for the Earth badge since he was defeated by Mewtwo.  Gary now is more humble and is trying to show that he is a great trainer, but his major competition is actually Ash, although Gary doesn't want to realize it at first, but he does at the beginning of the Johto Journeys.
