Pokémon Adventures: Gold, Silver & Crystal

by Hidenori Kusaka & Satoshi Yamamoto

Gold, a reckless Pokémon breeder from New Bark Town, chases the cold and secretive Silver across Johto. Crystal, a serious capture specialist, works to complete the Pokédex. Behind everything lurks the Mask of Ice — Pryce, the Mahogany Town Gym Leader, who kidnapped children years ago to create soldiers for his plan to capture Celebi and turn back time. Silver and Green were among those children. The truth about Silver's father will change everything.
