Golden Boys - Questions!

[Onigiri-chan]

Here I am again looking for information, this time for another underapreciated Pokemon manga; Golden Boys. I'm sorry if there are too many questions, please bear with me. ^___^U

1: Which Pokemon does Gold have by the end of the manga? I know of Croconaw, Pichu, Pikachu, Bayleef, Pidgey, and possibly Psyduck, but I'm not sure on that one. Does he catch/evolve other Pokemon?
2: Same with Black, since he abandons Pidgey and Bayleef, what others Pokemon did he capture? what is his final team? I only know of Gastly and a strange Tyranitar... but again, not sure...
3: Same with Crys, other than Cyndaquil and Togepi (they evolved?), what Pokemon did she catch?
4: What became of Black in the final volume? Did he transform into a good guy? Did he and Gold had a final battle?
5: Is Pikachu's original owner Minaki/Eusine?
6: What are Mikan and Shijima's roles in this manga? (apart form Gym Leaders) and what are their Pokemon?

Ok, that would be it. If you guys can answer to at least 1 of those, I would be happy.

Thank you in advance. ^_^

1: Which Pokemon does Gold have by the end of the manga? I know of Croconaw, Pichu, Pikachu, Bayleef, Pidgey, and possibly Psyduck, but I'm not sure on that one. Does he catch/evolve other Pokemon?

He has: Croconaw, Pidgeotto, Bayleef, Pikachu, Pichu, Tyrogue, Elekid and Sudowoodo.

2: Same with Black, since he abandons Pidgey and Bayleef, what others Pokemon did he capture? what is his final team? I only know of Gastly and a strange Tyranitar... but again, not sure...

He has a Sneasel, Haunter, Magnemite, Golbat and a stolen Electrode. Falkner in Volume 1 also mentioned that he used a Mareep against his Pokes.

Spoiler

The Black Tyranitar was never his. It's the Cianwood's legendary Pokemon who wreaked havoc in Johto years ago. However, Cianwood City's Fighting type masters defeated it and sealed inside a hole next to the gym. Black unsealed him and when it was free it started to destroy everything on this way. However, Black helped Gold with catching him and Gold resealed him.

3: Same with Crys, other than Cyndaquil and Togepi (they evolved?), what Pokemon did she catch?

She has: Cyndaqquil, Togepi, Hoothoot, Wooper and Six Magikarps

4: What became of Black in the final volume? Did he transform into a good guy? Did he and Gold had a final battle?

He only helped Gold

Spoiler

with this Black Tyranitar

at the very end of the manga. However, he did it ONLY BECAUSE

Spoiler

this Tyranitar

"made fool of him" (as he says)

5: Is Pikachu's original owner Minaki/Eusine?

Spoiler

Yes, sorta... When Masaki was experimenting with his newly-invented Time-Travelling Capsule (in future), Minaki visited him and suggested that this Capsule would come in handy on his Legendary Pokemon quest. Masaki sent Minaki's Pikachu to past to gather the information about Legendary Pokemon sightings in past. The Pikachu was given a learning device to memorize these sightings. However, this Pikachu landed in Gold's hands and Minaki was searching for him in order to obtain it back.

It's a very confusing story. And a bit unlogical. It's possible that I told it innacucurately because it's really hard to understand.

6: What are Mikan and Shijima's roles in this manga? (apart form Gym Leaders) and what are their Pokemon?

Mikan - of course Amphy (Akari). It's like in games. Amphy fell sick and Gold & Crys had to go to Cianwood to find the secret medicine.

Spoiler

Later, in the final chapter Mikan goes to Cianwood to help Gold with this darn Tyranitar.

Shijima - He and his Poliwrath got hurt because the fat girl and her heavy Pokemon fell on him (it was funny). So, he wasn't fit to lead the gym. Gold was leading the gym for him and training under his command. Gold did a LOT of hard Physical Trainer under him. In reward, he obtained the Secret Medicine for Amphy.

Spoiler

Shijima and Minaki helped with Tyranitar, too.

Trivia: In the Chuang Yi Translation of Golden Boys manga Shijima's name was Fergus instead of Chuck. It's strange because all other characters were known under their proper english names.

Ok, that would be it. If you guys can answer to at least 1 of those, I would be happy.

Thank you in advance. ^_^

Thanks.

Uh... I forgot. Black also had a Gyarados and Xatu (if I remember well).

 

[Onigiri-chan]

Great! ^_^

One more question: Gold's Sudowoodo is that huge one that was terrorizing people? (I saw a scan somewhere)

Great! ^_^

Yes.

Everyone thought it is a tree. But it grown bigger and no one could get rid of it. It was blocking the route to Ecruteak City. It was making a big problem because it blocked the road, so people can't get to Pokemon Summit, which happens in Ecruteak City. When Gold & Akane met that "tree" they discovered that it's actually a Sudowoodo, not a tree. They had no chance in battle with this tree because it was too big. However, it turned out that Sudowoodo was using dried mud to cover its surface and act giant. Gold used Totodile to swill the mud and uncover Sudowoodo's real (not-so-huge) body. After that, Gold caught the Sudowoodo.

Thanks Maxim ^___^

And now, my last question, I promise.

How did Gold and Crys meet each other?

And now, my last question, I promise.

How did Gold and Crys meet each other?

They first met each other at a Misty Forest. Crys was chasing a wild Dugtrio and she got lost in that forest. They teamed up to find the exit from the forest and while doing it they found a ruins. Crys loves ruins and mysteries because she is an adventurer and she prefers explorations more than training. Crys got excited about the ruins and decided to stay there and told that she doesn't need Gold to get out because she's an adventurer and she can get out from the danger easily on her own. Gold got angry on her and left her alone. But while he was going in forest he realised that she must help her. He decided to return to her and he noticed that a wild Ursaring attacked her and she's in big danger. But a combined team of Gold's and Crys's Pokemon defeated Ursaring and it escaped. After that, Suicune appeared and the forest disappeared. It turned out that the forest was an illusion made by Suicune. So, Gold thought that Crys was illusion, too. But he found her and since then they travel together.

Feel free to ask about anything
