Chris (L1)

Chris is a Gym Leader in Lethargic’s Generation I. He specializes in Bug Pokémon and is the leader of the Viridian Gym. He is the weakest Gym Leader in Kanto.

Story
Chris first appears as a silhouette during a conversation with Professor Daffodil. This silhouette can also be seen in the Badge Case, where it will be colored with the Bug-Type’s signature lime-green. As with the other gym leaders, his name will not be listed until defeating him in battle. Chris is the first gym leader the player must defeat. Upon defeat, Chris will give the player the TM for Bug Buzz, some Silver Powder, and of course the Cocoon Badge. Chris’s only other appearance within the main story prior to Isles of Victory is when he gives the player a Scyther egg in Viridian Forest. Chris will then be battled once again within the Chamber of Growth on the second Isle of Victory on the path to the Pokémon league. Chris can be rematched any time afterwards.
