Cinnabar Island was a volcanic island, and it erupted two years later, destroying everything on the island. Everyone was able to escape, and Blaine began living in the Seafoam Islands, using a cave there as his temporary gym (it was fashioned to look even more like an actual gym in ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'', including having other trainers present). [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]] challenged him there in ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal]]'' (as well as ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]''). After being defeated, Blaine gave the trainer the Volcanobadge (as well as TM 50: Overheat in ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'') and promised to give them a rematch after his gym was rebuilt. | Cinnabar Island was a volcanic island, and it erupted two years later, destroying everything on the island.

*Blaine appeared in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where he started out as one of the criminal gym leaders affiliated with Team Rocket, working for them as a scientist. He was part of the group creating Mewtwo and used some of his own DNA to create it when there was not enough [[Mew]] DNA, which created a symbiotic bond between he and Mewtwo. Seeing Red's good deeds gave Blaine an epiphany (similar to Giovanni's in the games) and he began allying with Red. After Team Rocket's first downfall, he also teamed up with Red to try and kill Mewtwo, but Red was able to capture it instead and Blaine began trying to help it turn away from its evil nature. During the ''Yellow'' arc, he teamed up with Yellow in the exploration of Cerise Island and battled [[Lance]]. Mewtwo became Blaine's loyal partner although the arm that shared DNA with Mewtwo remained infected. During the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc he came to Johto for the gym leader competition and was chosen by [[Entei]] as its temporary master, and its sacred fire was able to heal Blaine's arm while also breaking his bond with Mewtwo, so that they could live separate lives. He also coordinated the gym leaders in battle with the Team Rocket members and defeated [[Clair]] when she wanted to have their match which had been canceled. He also teamed up with [[Misty]] and [[Lieutenant Surge]], who had the other two legendary dogs, in battle against [[Pryce|the Mask of Ice]]. Blaine later made an appearance in the ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' arc before having a more prominent role in the climax of the ''X''/''Y'' arc, where he worked with Mewtwo in fighting [[Lysandre]] and helped him to Mega Evolve. | *Blaine appeared in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where he started out as one of the criminal gym leaders affiliated with Team Rocket, working for them as a scientist.
