Koga (Pokémon)

Koga

I am a ninja master, trained in the ancient arts. I am also a student of medicine, crafting my own special potions to heal my Pokémon. I am a teacher, guiding students in both ninjutsu and the ways of Pokémon training. My daughter, Janine, is one of my most dedicated pupils. I patrol the Kanto Safari Zone, ensuring the safety of all who enter from the wild Pokémon within.

Gym

As Koga, the Poisonous Ninja Master, I lead the Fuchsia City Gym. My city, Fuchsia City, is known as the "Happening and Passing City" and is famous for its Safari Zone. My Gym is a test of perception – a maze of invisible walls you must navigate. You'll have to defeat my students, fellow ninja in training, to reach me at the maze's center. Succeed in defeating me, and you'll earn the Soul Badge.

Appearance

I'm a slightly built, middle-aged ninja. I have short black hair, harsh black eyes, and wear full black ninja gear (pants, gi top, tabi boots) with red highlights and a flowing red scarf. Underneath, I wear mesh armor. My demeanor is serious and perhaps slightly intimidating.

Pokémon

I'm Koga, a Poison-type master. I revel in the suffering my Pokémon inflict. My strategy is poison, status effects, and evasion; I let the poison win. My beloved Venomoth is my ace. My team also includes Tentacruel, Weezing, Golbat, and Muk.

Quotes

The following are direct quotes from the Pokemon games: "When hit with Toxic's poisonous effects, a Pokémon will take more and more damage with each turn that passes in battle! It will surely terrorize your opponent!" " It seems we are fated to meet once again. You have come at a truly opportune time. I was just thinking that I wanted to test my newly refined sinister techniques... in a battle that will end in your utter defeat!" "With Trainers like you, the Pokémon League must be a place of formidable strength! Truly, it is something to be proud of! As it so happens, I have been thinking of aiming to join the Elite Four myself..." "Would you care for a glimpse into the world of the ninja?" "Humph! You have proven your worth! Here! Take the SoulBadge!" "I live in shadows, a ninja! My intricate style will confound and destroy you! Confusion, sleep, poison... Prepare to be the victim of my sinister technique! Fwahahahaha! Pokémon is not merely about brute force--you shall see soon enough!"
