Blue (Resurgence)

Blue Oak (Japanese: オーキド・グリーン Green Okido) is a recurring character in Pokémon Resurgence. He was the Champion of the Indigo League before Red defeated him. After that, Blue took the place of Giovanni as the Viridian City Gym Leader, as Giovanni had mysteriously disappeared after he disbanded Team Rocket.

Pokémon Resurgence: FireRed & WaterBlue

Pokémon Resurgence: HeartGold & SoulSilver

Appearance
Blue is a tall, thin young man with light skin, brown eyes, and tall, spiky light orange hair.

In FireRed & WaterBlue, he wears a short-sleeved dark gray shirt and purple cargo pants and black shoes. He also carries a light blue pack around his waist, and has purple bands around his wrists.

In HeartGold & SoulSilver, he appears older than he was in the previous season. He is slightly taller and more mature-looking. He wears a black leather jacket, a black belt around his waist, khaki cargo pants, and black shoes.

Character
Blue is a passionate and respectful guy that likes to battle a challenger no matter who they are. Before that, Leaf says that he was self-absorbed, rude, snarky, and very competitive towards her brother Red and was constantly mocking him on his supposed inferiority towards him.

Blue has a lot of talent as a Pokémon Trainer, despite his young age, collecting all eight Badges and becoming the Champion before Red. Even Giovanni acknowledged that Blue's skills were far beyond anything he had ever previously seen. He's also a sore loser, being clearly unwilling to admit his loss to Red at the Pokémon League.
