Biography

Season 1: Indigo League

Blaine disguised

Blaine had become disturbed by the fact that Cinnabar Island had become filled with tourists, and no serious trainers willing to battle him for the Volcano Badge. In his disguise as the manager of the Big Riddle Inn, he would give out many riddles to tourists and visitors, including Ash and his friends. With Misty able to figure out many of the riddles, the group found the hidden Gym and figured out that Blaine was in a disguise the whole time. This then led to Ash's gym battle, where he used his Squirtle, Charizard, and Pikachu against Blaine's Ninetales, Rhydon, and the most powerful member of the team, Magmar.

After an incident where Team Rocket endangered the island by causing the volcano to start erupting, and resulting in Blaine's Gym being destroyed, Ash, his friends, and Blaine had to fix the problem, where Charizard and Magmar developed a rivalry.

Blaine allowed Ash to have a rematch with him shortly after, this time over the volcano where the gym was located. Blaine using his Magmar caused Charizard to participate in the battle. After a hard fought battle, Charizard used Seismic Toss on Magmar, ending the battle with Ash the victor. Upon leaving, Blaine rewarded Ash with his Volcano Badge, following one final riddle about it.

It should be noted that some Rhydon possessed the ability to use Lightning Rod and that all of them were immune to Electric attacks. However, Ash's battle with Blaine took place before abilities were introduced.
