Drawing the Fire-type Gym Leader was especially difficult, as I had to make him look younger to match the rest of the characters.
Blaine is the son of a scientist, and he started playing soccer because one day, on a field trip to the volcano, he suffered a dangerous accident and was saved by a ball engulfed in flames, shot by a mysterious player with glowing wings.
Blaine became captain of the Cinnabar Island team and is sponsored by his father's laboratory.
He's a fiery striker who lives and breathes soccer, always trying to come up with strange strategies that don't always work out well.
