Full name: Blaine Riddleflare Age: 73 Height: 181 cm Hometown: Cinnabar Island, Kanto region Hobbies: Making riddles and quizzes Friends: Mr. Fuji Blaine is an old man of medium height.

Blaine wears a white lab coat over a dark green collared shirt with a red tie with 3 orange pokeball logos. He has a black belt with a silver buckle, blue trousers, and black shoes. Passionate for his age, Blaine has high hopes in his abilities and not the type to be discouraged easily. Proving his skill is what Blaine desires most, even with the dramatic change of his gym that came to pass. Blaine's tenacity lights a fire in his heart, always he bares a smile on his face to highlight his spirit. Blaine enjoys making riddles and the puzzle in his gym involves challengers solving his riddles along the way. Blaine's title is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master." His strategy is to incinerate challengers with his rough-and-ready Fire-type Pokémon. To reach Blaine, challengers have to answer a series of quiz questions about Pokémon. Blaine only takes off his sunglasses when thinking up new quiz questions. When he once got lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range, he was guided out of the mountains by a Moltres. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine is a resident of Cinnabar Island, and has lived there since before the Cinnabar Lab was built. He is good friends with Mr. Fuji and used to do Pokémon research with him. Blaine used to be a Pokemon researcher in his youth. Currently, he is the owner of an inn in Cinnabar Island called Big Riddle Inn, which is famous for its hot springs. Apparently, Blaine's battlefield is hidden inside the hot springs. Blaine specializes in Fire-type Pokemon. His team includes Arcanine, Ninetales, Rapidash, Magmortar, Magcargo, Houndoom and Torkoal. Sometimes he uses Camerupt, Charizard, Flareon and Heat Rotom. "Hah! I am Blaine, the red-hot Leader of Cinnabar Gym! My fiery Pokémon are all ready with intense heat! They incinerate all challengers! Hah! You better have Burn Heal!" "Awesome. I have burned out... Take this Volcano Badge! Here, I will give you this, too. It's called Overheat! It has a slight drawback, but it's powerful and well worth it! I did lose this time, but I'm going to win next time. When I rebuild my Cinnabar Gym, we have to hold a rematch. My Fire-type Pokémon will be even stronger! Just you watch!" "Awesome. I have burned out... But the fire inside me is only going to get stronger! Let's battle again sometime!" "Here we go! This is the Cinnabar Island Gym Pokémon Quiz! Challengers get asked five questions that they have to answer. Get one right, and you get a Blaine doll! Get a question wrong, and you'll have to battle one of my students here. But if you manage to beat them...then don't worry—you still get a Blaine doll! Think you can collect five Blaine dolls?! Here we go! The first question!" "Too bad! You were close...but ultimately wrong! The challenger must now face a penalty match against one of the Trainers I instruct!" "Challenger! You have obtained five Blaine dolls! Which means... it's time for our battle! I'm Blaine, the red-hot Gym Leader here! My fiery Pokémon are all rough and ready with intense heat! They incinerate all challengers! Hah! Hope you brought some Burn Heals!" "Good morning. A beautiful day, isn't it? Even the Pokémon seem to be bright and chipper! *yawn* Oh, excuse me! I got carried away thinking up quizzes late last night. "Brilliant weather today! What's that? The glare off my head is blinding you? Always make sure you eat proper meals! Using your thinking cap burns calories, you know." "Hm? Does the darkness make you nervous? In that case, I suppose my Pokémon could use its flame. Such a wonderful night! Nights like these always seem to inspire the best quiz questions!" "Life is one big question! It's a cycle of asking yourself questions and figuring out answers! Every mystery you solve is one more step you take in your growth! The same can be said for Pokémon battles! No matter what walls you run into, you become stronger every time you overcome one! As long as I live, I will continue thinking up quiz questions and having Pokémon battles! That is my way of life as the hotheaded quiz master!" "Don't worry about it! My head may seem defenseless, but it's plenty trained! Fine... It's a waste, but I suppose I'll forget about that quiz. But I won't give up! One day, I will think of a quiz that everybody can enjoy! I will make quizzes the next craze on Pasio!" "Indeed I am! You need something from me? Are you interested in my quizzes?" "I'm the hotheaded Blaine! I used to do Pokémon research with Professor Fuji! What luck! The accomplished Professor Oak will surely understand what I have to say. Actually, I spotted a strange Pokémon in this forest not too long ago. I'm certain the number one Pokémon researcher might be able to discover that mysterious Pokémon!" "Bam! A question! We all know that Pasio is an artificial island... But there is, in fact, a Pokémon that only exists on this island! True or false?!" "Oh! I didn't hear you coming! I was just trying to think up a quiz using Ponyta as the subject. I can't come up with a single idea! I haven't been able to come up with anything good lately. I might be in a slump." "And now, time for a quiz!" "I like hiking up mountains. Climbing up those mountains is very liberating—especially so if your Pokémon are at your side. I once got lost and stranded on the mountain, but there was a Pokémon that I saw there... I could never forget that light that guided me, and I went back many times to look for it." "The quizzes I think up are very popular! All the Trainers who challenged me were happy to take them." "I am Blaine! I am the Gym Leader of Cinnabar Gym! I'm also known as the Hotheaded Quiz Master! My Pokémon are all hotheads that were raised on Cinnabar Island! Now that I'm here, you have nothing to worry about. If there's anything you would like to know about Pokémon, ask me! I'll answer you in quiz fashion!" "There is a facility called the Pokémon Research Lab on Cinnabar Island. They research very interesting things, such as Pokémon Evolution and legends. Rearranging genes is a practical way to explore the infinite possibilities of Pokémon. That's some difficult stuff, but the researchers at the lab all believe that they're doing the right thing." "I have a friend in Lavender Town. His name's Fuji, and back in the day, he was an excellent researcher. Now he manages a refuge for abandoned Pokémon there. If you ever find yourself in Lavender Town, pay him a visit. I'm sure a Trainer like you would be able to put a smile on his face." "Whenever I'm thinking up quizzes, I take off my sunglasses so that I can concentrate. Good ideas just come to me when I do so. Maybe you could think some up, too. It's surprisingly easy to get hooked!" "Hm. I thought of a good quiz! Are Infernape sharp thinkers or poor? They're sharp! They are INFERnape, after all!" "Hah! Let your youth—your spirit—burn bright, young one! Your youth can burn like a blazing flame, and it can burn out just as easily! Ignite your passion while you can! That is the key to living a hot life!" "Fire-type Pokémon are even hotter than their names or appearances might seem! They will lose to nobody when it comes to heat! From their spirits, their bodies, even how they look when they fight, they are hot and heartful! In a battle, you should always let your passion burn! That's common knowledge when you fight with Fire-type Pokémon!"
