Hatcher Gold

Gold, or ゴールド, is the main Pokemon trainer and Pokedex Holder from Johto manga canon. His rivals and teammates are Crystal and Silver. He is a well-meaning and carefree, but often immature and mischievous, kid from New Bark Town. He grew up all his life surrounded by Pokemon in his house, and has since grown up with a very strong affinity to raising them. Because of this, Professor Oak considers him the Breeder of the Pokedex Holders, due to his ability to draw out unparalleled potential in a newly hatched Pokemon.

Previous Canon Info
Gold first left on his original journey intending to come back very shortly, after leaving with Joey to meet Professor Oak and, more importantly, DJ Mary. When he met Silver at Professor Elm's lab shortly after, he vowed to chase after the boy, and ended up getting sucked into a battle alongside Silver and Crystal against the Mask of Ice (Pryce), who they eventually defeated and trapped inside Celebi's time traveling plane.

He later traveled to the Hoenn Battle Frontier with Crystal to assist the Hoenn PokeDex Holder in beating Guile Hideout, who was later revealed to be Archie. Gold didn't reveal his presence at the Frontier until he was unmasked as being a fake Guile Hideout, during a plan to confuse Guile's Pokemon. During the incident, Gold tried to inspire Emerald to find the ability to claim one of Jirachi's wishes in himself, and worked with the other PokeDex Holders to hold off and eventually defeat the giant energy Kyogre that Archie had summoned.

In the HGSS chapter of the manga, Gold fought head-on against Arceus, but the results of that battle are clouded in fog. ((Due to that issue of the manga having not been fully released at this point.))

Pokemon
Gold has many Pokemon at home of various species. These include rare and common species, but Gold has taken his closest Pokemon with him since his journey began 7 years ago.
