General Volt

General Volt is the brother of Lt. Surge. Like his brother he has been in the army and is a gym leader who focuses on electric type pokemon.

In the anime
In the anime it is found out that he and Surge got their first pokemon in Johto when finding them in some bushes. Volt took Elekid and Surge took Pichu. In every battle they had against each other Volt won. After many battles across Kanto Volt’s Elekid evolved into Electabuzz and years later into an Electivire. General Volt battles Ash and eventually Ash wins. Volt then goes to Zapshock mountain knowing that Zapdos, Raiko, Rotom and Regivolt gather there once every 100 years. Volt beats Rotom but is know much for the power of the other legendaries. Ash tries to battle them and beats Regivolt and Zapdos using Squirtle, a pokemon that would be weak against electric types. He uses Pikachu to beat Raikou and instead of capturing them he lets them go. They then give Ash a lucky charm known as the Thunder orb. Volt helps Ash and his friends when team Rainbow tries to capture the legendary pokemon. Ash and Volt command their Pokemon to destroy the cages keeping the pokemon trapped. Team rainbow retreats from Thunderist city and Volt says he hopes Ash wins the Pokemon league championship.
