Danny

Character from pokemon-kanto by

The Gym Leader of Navel Island — a handsome outdoorsman whose challenge involves mountain climbing and sled-crafting before any Pokémon battle begins.

Danny lives at the summit of Navel Island's mountain, and the gym challenge begins at the base: climb the mountain, freeze a pool of water with ice Pokémon, build a sled from the mountain's bamboo and the trainer's own Pokémon's moves, then race down the mountain course. Only after all that does the battle itself begin — a three-on-three on a beach at the mountain's base. He is earnest, competent, and irritatingly good at everything, which means Misty immediately develops a crush that Ash cheerfully weaponizes. His Pokémon are a Nidoqueen, a Machoke, and a Scyther used for construction as much as battle. He awards the Sea Ruby Badge with a handshake and a shirtless wave goodbye.

Appearance

A well-built young man in his late teens, shaggy dark hair, bright green eyes, tanned skin. Wears an open vest, cargo pants, and hiking boots. Usually shirtless in warm weather, to Misty's visible distraction. Carries climbing gear and a carpenter's tools.
