He also met Lyra in Goldenrod City's underground tunnel, where he gave her a fashion case. Ethan was mostly found at New Bark Town during the game, where he would provide Lyra with a star for her trainer card after she completed a challenge of collecting five shining leaves. He also showed up at Celadon City to talk about the Gamefreak floor of the Pokémon Mansion and could possibly appear as a fan of Lyra's at the Battle Hall. He also played a part in the [[Celebi]] event, in which he was teleported back in time with Lyra. | He also met Lyra in Goldenrod City's underground tunnel, where he gave her a fashion case.

His starter Pokémon was [[Cyndaquil]], and he was featured in a ''Pokémon Chronicles'' episode with two other trainers. One of the other trainers is an anime version of Kris (the original female counterpart to Ethan), known as Marina, whose starter was a Totodile. A character using Ethan's ''HeartGold''/''SoulSIlver'' design also makes a cameo appearance fighting Ash during the opening of the thirteenth ''Pokémon'' movie. |
*Gold was featured in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, starting in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arcs. He is shown to come from a family which already has a group of Pokémon as pets, although he only takes one Pokémon from his family home with him (not counting his [[Poliwag]] which he loses, but returns to him in time to evolve into a [[Politoed]]). He sets out with a [[Cyndaquil]] as his starter Pokémon initially to hunt down Silver after catching him steal [[Professor Elm]]'s [[Totodile]], but as he progresses he sees that Silver is not so bad and winds up entangled in the plans of the newly revived Team Rocket. They go missing after a battle with [[Pryce|the Mask of Ice]] in which they are believed dead, but they are rescued and kept safe by [[Entei]]. Gold later plays a vital role in the final battle against the Mask of Ice, being trapped in the time portal with him and using a newly-hatched [[Pichu]] to free [[Celebi]], trapping Pryce in time while Gold is able to escape safely. He later appeared in the ''Emerald'' arc, complete with armor that is an imitation of [[Archie]]'s Guile armor, to fool him as part of Crystal's plan to use [[Jirachi]]'s wish to revive the trainers whom had been petrified in stone. After they are revived, the ten Pokédex trainers unite to defeat Archie and the imitation [[Kyogre]]. He later starred in the ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'' arc. Among the Pokédex trainers, Gold's specialty is described as Pokémon breeding, as shown in his hatching of [[Togepi]] and Pichu (which was born to [[Pikachu]] owned by Red and Yellow). He is shown as being more immature then Red and with quirks such as wearing goggles, riding a scooter instead of the standard bicycle and using billiard cues to launch Pokéballs. | *Gold was featured in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, starting in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arcs.
