Pokemon SoulSilver Premise
The plot of Pokémon SoulSilver is similar in many ways to the story of Pokémon Silver, with only minor changes. The player gets to choose between two playable characters, Ethan or Lyra. As either Ethan or Lyra, the player embarks on an exciting adventure across the Johto region, fighting in various gyms and eventually the Pokémon League. Silver, the main villain in the game, shows disdain for Team Rocket and vows to take them over, believing them to be weak. Silver will battle the player many times throughout the game, not because of malice, but to prove he is a good trainer. By the end of the game, the player defeats Team Rocket, breaking up their leaders, and enters the Hall of Fame.
