matis

Lt. Surge is the leader of Vermilion City's Gym, officially named the Vermilion Gym. He awards the Thunder Badge to trainers who manage to defeat him. Specializing in Electric-type Pokémon, Lt. Surge stands out as an exceptionally large and muscular individual, likely the tallest human character in the show. His demeanor is marked by arrogance, loudness, and crudeness, referring to all trainers as "babies" until they prove their mettle by defeating him.

Lt. Surge tends to look down on unevolved Pokémon, advocating for their rapid evolution. His Raichu mirrors his tough personality traits. However, Lt. Surge's critical flaw lies in evolving his Pokémon too swiftly without adequately teaching them essential moves. Despite once overpowering Ash and his Pikachu with sheer strength, Pikachu eventually triumphed using speed-enhancing techniques like Agility, exploiting Raichu's lack of agility and tactical training.
