Silv

Silver (Japanese: シルバー Silver) is the son of Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket and one of the Pokédex holders. He is also known as the Exchanger (換える者 Exchanger). As mentioned by Professor Oak, his special skill is Pokémon Trading.

Personality
Silver is silent, cold and distant to the people he despises but is kind, loving and somewhat sarcastic to his friends. He can be a jerk to others at times, even without knowing it. However, once he notices he has hurt their feelings, he finds it very hard to apologize to them. Whenever Silver is very angry, he is shown to use vulgar language. Silver is sometimes teased by others, saying that he is a tsundere (not like he cares or anything).

Childhood
When Silver was a young child, he was kidnapped by the Masked Man and was to serve under him, along with Blue and other young children. He became good friends with Blue and together, they both escaped the Masked Man (only to part ways in the end).

Past adventures
Silver was on a quest to defeat the Masked Man and Team Rocket. He stole a Totodile and a Pokédex from Professor Elm's lab, only to "meet" Gold after his escape. The two started a rivalry after their first battle against each other.

Once he met up with Gold, they both realized the other were trying to stop the Masked Man. They decided to team up together and battled against him at the Lake of Rage, only for him and Gold to be knocked out unconcious afterward. They later meet with another Pokédex holder named Crystal.

At the final battle in the Ilex Forest, he, Gold and Crystal jumped into the time portal, chasing after the Masked Man, who turned out to be Pryce, Mahogany Town's Gym Leader. They made it out alive, however, Pryce was still stuck inside.

A few months later, Silver decides to find about his own past and where he came from. He meets Yellow and it was revealed that we was from Viridian City. The two were confronted by two Rocket Admins, Sird and Orm. They revealed that Silver's father was Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket. At first, Silver was reluctant and refused to accept it, but later on, once he rescued Giovanni with his Ursaring, he accepts the fact Giovanni is his father.

As Silver and the rest of the Pokédex holders stopped Team Rocket's Battle Airship from crashing into Vermilion City, he, Red, Green, Blue and Yellow were turned into stone statues (from a beam that was originally intended for Deoxys). A long while later, when Emerald made a wish from Jirachi, he and the others were no longer petrified and were set free. They joined the others in their battle against Guile Hideout (with his Feraligatr learning the ultimate Water type move, Hydro Cannon).

A few years after the events with Guile Hideout, Silver hears an announcement of the revival of Team Rocket. He flies to the Whirl Islands and searches for Lance to ask him about it, but only to be attacked by Clair instead. As the two were attacked by a group of Koffing, his Sneasel takes an item, which was a Plate. Searching for more answers, Silver flies to the Safari Zone (right after he evolves both his Sneasel and Murkrow using items that were given to him from Blue).

Current adventures
A year and a half after the events with Team Rocket and Arceus, Silver returns to his house in Goldenrod. He is often seen spending time with the Kanto and Johto Dexholders or he is stuck at home, slowly dying from boredom. He even once mentioned what his father said about this scenario: "When you stay inside for too long, you'll become antisocial and hiss at people." to which he replied, "He must think he is so smart."

Nowadays, Silver works as a barista at the coffee establishment, Staryubucks. Whenever he is not at work, he either stays at home or spends time with Gold (which sometimes results him staying the night).

Blue
Silver’s “big sis”. He and Blue share a very close sibling bond and he tends to be very protective of her. He often tells her that she’s more reckless than he is. The two exchange each other messages every once in a while. The two, even up to now, are still thieves, but their days of theft have died down quite a bit.

Gold
Silver's rival and best friend. The two have minor quarrels they have with each other but no matter what, they still remain as close friends. Silver always gets caught up in Gold's "Stupid Shenanigans" and often tells him to stop doing whatever he is doing (it often ranges into following random girls he makes contact with to showing visuals of certain content that should never be shown to pure and innocent children). Much to his and Gold's dismay, the two are widely teased by girls, implying that the two may have feelings for each other.

Crystal
Silver's other best friend. Even though the two rarely meet up due to conflicting work schedules, that does not stop them from messaging other. An interesting fact is that whenever the two talk to each other, they always talk about Gold and his crazy antics.

Green
Silver is known to be on good terms with Green, but that doesn’t stop him from being protective of Blue, as he constantly tells him to take care of her. He sees Green as a big brother, but doesn’t admit it to him, as he often hides it by giving him snarky remarks. After spending time in his Gym, Silver found a strange interest in teasing Green, often calling him "Tchenpai". (It is not to be confused with chenpi, a bitter sun-dried tangerine peel.) However, despite all that, the two seem to be close friends.

White
Silver and White have a love-hate relationship as the two often tease and make fun of each other. He deeply cares for White and often shows his soft side around her, which confuses people, thinking that the two are a couple. (Later on, that statement was proven to be false.) She gave him his second nickname, “Silvester”. It should be noted that White was Silver's first friend he made in Unova.
