Blake Oak

Blake Oak is the supporting character of Pocket Monsters. He is the rival of Redwald Walker since they were little.

The Beginning


Blake Oak debuted in when he was accepted to Professor Oak's Summer Camp for Pokémon Trainer License. As it was revealed during his conversation with his grandfather Professor Oak, his parents left him with his grandfather when they decided to go on a safari across the world. Despite Professor Oak claimed that the only reason his parents left him behind was because it was not safe for him, and they would eventually take him once Blake will be qualified for it, Blake strictly believed that his parents just abandoned him. As he stated in the same conversation, his goal was to challenge the eight Gym Leaders and eventually compete in Kanto League to become a Champion. When that happens, he would not want to see his parents although they would be proud of him.

Blake and reappeared in along with his Pokémon Cubone, being chased by a wild Kangaskhan after everyone in the summer camp of Professor Oak was given a task to catch a Pokémon in Pallet Jungle. As Blake claimed, he wanted to catch a Kangaskhan, therefore he chased a Kangaskhan's infant to reach to the mother. However, unlike what he expected, the mother found Blake before and chased him behind. On his way, he encountered and. During this time, Blake was hurt and Redwald took care of his wounds. These incidents built up some coziness between him and his eternal rival Redwald. But in the end, he did not tolerate what their relationship, and left Redwald and Greta with dignity.

Blake participated in Professor Oak's Summer Camp Competition in in. He qualified from elimination rounds and quarter finals by using his Pokémon. In the semi finals, he was matched with Redwald in a two vs. two battle. Blake used his Cubone as he mastered on using his bone by Bone Club, which would cause critical hits often against. As Cubone caused serious damage on Eevee, he was substituted with. Since Cubone could not use most of his moves against a Flying type Pokémon, the battle ended up a draw. Blake's second option was his Spearow which he caught in Pallet Jungle. But before Spearow defeated Eevee, Redwald withdrew from the battle as he stated that his Eevee was in a bad shape and unable to battle. Therefore, Blake became one of the two finalists of the competition along with Greta.

In his grand finale battle in, Blake used his Pokémon as usual, by attacking the foe with all his might. His first opponent was, and he used his Cubone against her. However, Greta substituted her Pokémon with her, but Blake still kept on the game the same way. As Blake's only tactic was to attack the foe with powerful attacks, Cubone used his Bone Club as much as he could, until Caterpie distracted him with her String Shot. Later on, Cubone could not attack properly, and fainted in the end. Blake was criticized by his grandfather, Professor Oak, as he only thought of attacking, but there was nothing for defense. The battle did not change the current of events after Spearow's appearance as well. Since Spearow's only tactic was to attack the foe, he ended up hurting himself with Take Down, and fainting in the end.

In, Blake received a letter from his parents as Professor Oak claimed. Blake decided to thrash the letter, but Professor Oak asked him to keep it until he wants to read. In the meantime, Blake focused on his journey across Kanto to compete in Kanto League. Eventually, he had a conversation with his Pokémon, asked them to come along with them. With his team that he was confident with, he prepared everything he needed for the journey. In the meantime, he decided to read the letter, but it remained unclear what was written in it.

Part Red & Green


Blake appeared again in, while he was on his way to Viridian Gym. However, as he realized that the Gym was closed, he walked through the city to leave the place, until an old man, Delmar Sandoval, invited him after seeing him on the road. While the two met, Delmar revealed himself to be one of Professor Oak's acquaintance, who worked with him in a project years ago. As he also revealed that he participated in Kanto League for several times in his youth, Blake challenged the old man to a battle. In the battle, Blake used his three naïve Pokémon against the old man's old and tired Pokémon. In the three versus three battle, although Blake lost all the rounds, he found the battle inspirational. After he left Delmar's house to keep on going on his journey, he became even more eager than ever.
