'''Ash's Hawlucha''' (Japanese: '''サトシのルチャブル''' ''Satoshi's Luchabull'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] region.

==History==
Prior to its capture, Hawlucha was the champion of a forest, where it helped maintain peace. Hawlucha gained this title after defeating the previous champion, a {{p|Machamp}}. After developing a rivalry with Hawlucha, Machamp retreated to some mountains so that it could train to become stronger.

Hawlucha made its first appearance in ''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]'', where it battles an {{p|Ursaring}} that stole food from a group of Pokémon. Although it easily got the upper hand, Hawlucha missed its attempt to finish Ursaring off with {{m|Flying Press}}, leaving it open to attack. Ursaring was stopped by Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who scared it off. Ash offered to help Hawlucha perfect Flying Press, which eventually ended in success after countless failed attempts. They are interrupted by the Ursaring from before, who teamed up with a {{p|Conkeldurr}} so that they could trick the previous champion, Machamp, into believing that Hawlucha was the one terrorizing the forest Pokémon.
[[File:Ash and Hawlucha.png|thumb|250px|Ash with his Hawlucha]]
Machamp challenged Hawlucha to battle, and despite Hawlucha's power, it managed to easily take Hawlucha's attacks. Ursaring and Conkeldurr then stepped in and began double-teaming Hawlucha. Although reluctant at first, Machamp realized who the real villain was and defeated Ursaring and Conkeldurr. Machamp carried the two away and said its goodbyes to Hawlucha. Later, Ash challenged Hawlucha to battle with the condition that if he wins, Hawlucha will join his team. Despite the speed of [[Ash's Froakie]], it was easily able to outmaneuver it avoiding its {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Bubble}} attacks; despite this, the battle ended in a tie when Froakie's {{m|Pound}} collided with its Flying Press. Although Hawlucha didn't lose the battle, it decided to join Ash's team, even agreeing to reinstating Machamp as the forest champion.

In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Hawlucha was used in a [[Sky Battle]] against [[Moria]]'s {{p|Talonflame}}. Hawlucha was quickly outmatched due to Flying Press being ineffective and Talonflame easily dodging all of Hawlucha's attacks due to being in the air. Hawlucha was defeated after missing with its {{m|Karate Chop}} and being hit by {{m|Fire Blast}} and {{m|Steel Wing}} attacks.

In ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', Hawlucha battled together with [[Ash's Froakie]] against [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. Hawlucha used Karate Chop a few times to counter Bunnelby's {{m|Double Slap}}. But, when Bunnelby was going to use {{m|Mud Shot}} and Ash commanded Hawlucha to use Karate Chop again, Froakie used Water Pulse before it can do anything. Hawlucha started to get a little bit angry, but the battle continued. Then Froakie lets Chespin's {{m|Pin Missile}} hit Bunnelby, which faints, making Hawlucha very angry. Hawlucha attacked Froakie, who defended itself. Later, Ash came up with a great new move called Super Flying Cut. They trained but it didn't work out, until Ash was kidnapped by a wild {{p|Trevenant}}, so Hawlucha and Froakie went after it. They found out Trevenant only wanted help for his friends trapped by {{TRT}}. Ash's two Pokémon have a battle against Team Rocket, sending them blasting off with their new Super Flying Cut, before giving each other's fist as a sign of their new friendship.

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Hawlucha was used in its first [[Gym]] battle against [[Korrina]] as his first Pokémon in his [[Shalour Gym]] battle, it went up against {{p|Mienfoo}}, Hawlucha followed Ash's strategy of dancing, which he got off [[Tierno]], Mienfoo went for a {{m|High Jump Kick}} which Hawlucha attempted to dodge by dancing but failed, Mienfoo then went for a {{m|Drain Punch}}, and Hawlucha tried to block by dancing but failed and had its health absorbed, Hawlucha went for a Karate Chop but this was blocked and then it was hit with a {{m|Force Palm}}. This confused Ash as Tierno's [[Squirtle]] could block attacks easily. Hawlucha then went for a Flying Press but it was countered by {{m|Swift}} which hit Hawlucha. At this point, Ash realised he couldn't win by imitating Tierno and that he had to use his own rhythm, so he changed back to his own battle style. Mienfoo went for a High Jump Kick, but Ash got Hawlucha to wait and dodge at the last second, causing recoil damage. Hawlucha then hit with a Karate Chop, dodged Mienfoo's Force Palm and then defeated Mienfoo with Flying Press. It was then recalled. Later Hawlucha was then sent out to battle Korrina's {{TP|Korrina|Mega Lucario}}, Hawlucha went for a Karate Chop, but it was presumably blocked, it then went for a Flying Press, but it was countered by {{me|Lucario}}'s split {{m|Bone Rush}} damaging Hawlucha, it was then knocked out by Mega Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, crashing it into a wall.

In ''[[XY051|When Dark and Light Collide!]]'', Hawlucha was sent out to perform in {{an|Carl}}'s Super Pokémon Battle play, after Pikachu injured the {{p|Gallade}} who was supposed to play the good guy. Hawlucha worked with Carl's {{Shiny}} Hawlucha, known as Dark Hawlucha. Hawlucha wasn't very good, refusing to be sent flying into a wall and using too much force, though it became better the next rehearsal. It started a fight with Dark Hawlucha, after being hit with its Karate Chop until it was stopped by Ash and some crew members. Later it trained with Ash after hearing about Dark Hawlucha being a former wrestling champion. During the play it teamed up with Dark Hawlucha to beat {{TRT}} after they interfered with the play. When the real play started, Hawlucha suffered from Stage Fright and messed up with the beginning so it and Dark Hawlucha decided to improvise and battle immediately, which reminded Dark Hawlucha of its former battling days. After a long battle Ash's Hawlucha won. Later before it left it shook hands with Dark Hawlucha.

In [[XY058]], Ash used Hawlucha as his second Pokémon in his [[Coumarine Gym]] Battle against [[Ramos]], it went up against {{p|Weepinbell}}. Hawlucha used Flying Press which damaged Weepinbell, it then used High Jump Kick, but Weepinbell used {{m|Poison Powder}}, {{status|Poison|poisoning}} Hawlucha. Weepinbell used {{m|Razor Leaf}} and Hawlucha was unable to dodge due to it struggling from the Poison Powder, it was then hit by Weepinbell's {{m|Slam}}, it then used Flying Press, but it was slow due to the damage it had taken and it was caught by Weepinbell's {{m|Grass Knot}}, slamming it to the ground. Hawlucha jumped backwards and made a successful hit with High Jump Kick, but the Flycatcher Pokémon was able to grab onto Hawlucha and use Slam, knocking it out.

==Personality and characteristics==
Hawlucha takes great pride in its own battle style, preferring flashy, speedy moves, and insisting on finishing its opponents with a Flying Press. It also first takes its opponents attacks before attacking itself. It is shown to be cool, calm, and collected; similar to {{AP|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Buizel}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. Hawlucha is very determined in battle and never gives up, no matter how bad the situation may look and is always ready to improve itself. It has been shown to be quite powerful, as it was called the champion of the forest. Hawlucha is also shown to be kind and protective when it defended the smaller Pokémon's food from an Ursaring. Hawlucha also gets angry when someone interferes its battling as shown in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', where it got angry at Frogadier as a Froakie. In ''[[XY051|When Dark and Light Collide!]]'', Hawlucha suffered from stage fright before its acting performance. It was also mentioned by {{an|Clemont}} in the same episode that Hawlucha hated losing.

Hawlucha has strong personal pride, and has been shown to be hard headed to an extent, not taking it well when Froakie dismissed its battling style and interfered in its battle in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'' However, in the same episode, Hawlucha was demonstrated to be a fairly mature Pokémon, and swallowed its pride and attempted to apologize to Froakie.

Since its capture, Hawlucha has been shown to both like and be quite loyal to Ash, willing to battle with him in its first Sky Battle the episode after its capture.

=====Moves improvised=====
*'''Super Flying Cut''' (Japanese: '''スーパーフライングいあいきり''' ''Super Flying Cut'') — When Hawlucha and {{AP|Froakie}} were not getting along in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', Ash came up with an idea where Hawlucha and Froakie could work together to make a powerful move. Froakie gets on Hawlucha's back, and Hawlucha starts flying. Froakie would jump off of Hawlucha, and use {{m|Cut}} on the target. Then Hawlucha would come down and hit the same target, resulting in major damage. This was mastered during the battle with {{TRT}}, resulting in their defeat.

==In the manga==
===In the movie adaptations===
Hawlucha appeared in the manga adaptation of the 17th movie, where it participated in a battle against [[Astrid]].

==Trivia==
* Hawlucha is the first, and so far only one of Ash's Pokémon that {{pkmn|battle}}d against [[Ash's Froakie|him]] to a draw before allowing itself to be [[Caught Pokémon|captured]].
* Hawlucha is Ash's first basic stage {{type|Flying}} Pokémon that is not capable of evolving.
* Not counting {{AP|Aipom}} (who had no evolution at the time of her capture), Hawlucha is Ash's first [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|Pokémon that cannot evolve]] since {{AP|Torkoal}}, who was caught [[AG058|502 episodes earlier]].
** Coincidentally, Torkoal was also voiced by [[Shin'ichirō Miki]] in Japanese.
* Hawlucha's capture was first revealed in {{n|First pages from 17th movie manga adaptation surface|leaks of the 17th movie's manga adaptation}}.

'''Ricard Nouveau''' (Japanese: '''ピノ・ノワール''' ''Pinot Noir'') is an A-class [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] and the [[character of the day]] in ''[[BW080|Clash of the Connoisseurs!]]''. He was chosen along with {{an|Cilan}} by [[Mr. Hatterly]] to help choose a Pokémon for his daughter, [[Marigold]]. Ricard believed that the perfect Pokémon for her would be {{p|Petilil}} because of its scent and cuteness. Cilan disagreed with him, thinking that a half {{type|Grass}} would be more suitable rather than a pure one. Since they couldn't agree, the two Connoisseurs decided to have a battle to see who was right. Ricard ended up losing the battle.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', with Cilan remembering the battle they had as one of the many he had during his travels.

'''Miles''' (Japanese: '''マイル''' ''Mile'') is [[Skyla]]'s grandfather and a former [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Mistralton Gym]].

==In the anime==
Miles first appeared in ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]'' after {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} had just met Skyla. He had retired from being the Gym Leader of Mistralton City in order to fulfill his dream of owning his own cargo business. His granddaughter took over for him after his retirement. Like Ash and {{an|Cilan}}, he did not agree with Skyla's concept of using "Air Battles" to run the Gym. He then explained that she used to battle challengers the traditional way and was also very good but battling them left her no time to fly her plane, thus she came up with the concept so she wouldn't waste her time. Although he disagreed with Skyla, he thought she might still have a point and thus gave up trying to convince her otherwise, only doing so again once Ash challenges Skyla to a proper battle himself.

Miles now serves as the Gym assistant for his granddaughter and refereed both Cilan and Ash's match. Before Skyla had battled Ash, she watched old videos of Miles battling challengers while he was Gym Leader so she could pick up tips.

He appeared once again in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'' where he hosted the [[Wishing Bell Festival]]. There it was revealed that he is very knowledgeable of important female figures in [[Unova]], mostly because he finds them attractive. [[Elesa]] happens to be his favorite and even disqualified Cilan in the contest because his impression of her was not up to his standards.

GamerGeek:

[[File:Keaton.png|thumb|250px|Keaton]]
'''Keaton''' (Japanese: '''カナザワ''' ''Kanazawa'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''. He looks after a forest somewhere near [[Geosenge Town]].

Keaton had observed a {{p|Hawlucha}} that lived in the forest he guarded for a long time. The Hawlucha used to protect other forest Pokémon that were in danger. One day, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came through the forest and witnessed how an {{p|Ursaring}} was about to steal [[Berry|Berries]] from a group of Pokémon. Then Hawlucha appeared and fought the Ursaring. As they watched in amazement, Keaton appeared and explained to the group more about Hawlucha's behavior. When Hawlucha was in danger itself when Ursaring was about to throw a rock on it, Ash stepped in and had his {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Iron Tail}} to finally drive Ursaring off. Afterwards Ash wanted to know more about Hawlucha, and so Keaton took them to his home to explain more.

Keaton told the group Hawlucha just appeared in the forest one day. The forest was known for being full of Pokémon practicing martial arts, and Keaton concluded Hawlucha came to test its skills. Day after day Hawlucha defeated the veteran Pokémon of the forest, and as such it came to be known as the "forest champion". Keaton greatly appreciated Hawlucha's presence, as it helped him in protecting the forest. Noticing Ash's interest in Hawlucha, Keaton proposed to take him to its training spot, which Ash happily accepted.

He took the group to the spot and watched how Ash helped Hawlucha train. Afterwards, {{an|Serena}} noticed a group of Pokémon were coming their way. Keaton recognized them as the group of Pokémon that all the other Pokémon in the forest despise, with amongst them being the Ursaring from earlier. He also noticed a {{p|Machamp}}, and explained to the group how this Machamp used to be the forest champion and protect the other Pokémon, until Hawlucha appeared and they formed a rivalry. Hawlucha managed to beat Machamp many times, and as such Hawlucha eventually took Machamp's place. Machamp left for the mountains to train and was not heard of anymore, until now. Machamp challenged Hawlucha to a one-on-one battle, which it accepted. Keaton then analyzed every move in the fight. After the fight, Keaton watched Ash battle Hawlucha with his {{AP|Froakie}}. After it ended in a draw, Keaton asked Hawlucha if it wanted to join Ash, to which it nodded. Then, Machamp appeared again and promised it would now look after the forest again. As Ash caught Hawlucha, Keaton asked him to take care of Hawlucha for him and to have it take part in even more passionate battles, which Ash promised. The group then said their farewells to Keaton as they continued their journey towards [[Shalour City]].

Grey (XY027)

[[File:Grey anime.png|thumb|250px|Grey]]
'''Grey''' (Japanese: '''グレー''' ''Grey'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]''. He lives in [[Calanthe Town]].

Grey lived together with his wife [[Florence]] and their {{p|Flabébé}} in peace when one day Florence fell ill while she was watering the flowers in their garden. She was quickly taken to the Calanthe Town hospital by ambulance. This saddened Flabébé, who had always enjoyed the company of Florence, and she left Grey while he was asleep to search for her. When he woke up, he was shocked to see Flabébé was gone, but he had a hunch where she was. He quickly went to the hospital and there he found Flabébé in front of the window of the room Florence was hospitalized. When a strong gust struck however, Flabébé was blown away. She lost her flower, which was subsequently run over by a car, destroyed. The gust blew Flabébé further away, and Grey was unable to get her back. Since then, he looked for Flabébé everywhere, but could not find her. Flabébé's disappearance greatly saddened Florence, who went in a state of emotional despair even though she was recovered from her illness. Grey also worried about Flabébé's wellbeing, as her flower was destroyed and she would not survive without a new one.

Some time later, when Grey was walking down the street, he suddenly noticed Flabébé sitting on top of {{an|Bonnie}}'s head. He quickly ran towards her and hugged her, happy to have finally found Flabébé back. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} had found Flabébé earlier and had concluded she had a Trainer already. When Grey came to them, they realized he was her Trainer. They introduced themselves, and Grey thanked them for taking care of Flabébé. Grey then asked Flabébé to come home, but she hesitated as she had taken a likening to Bonnie. {{an|Clemont}} asked Grey why Flabébé did not have a flower of her own, to which Grey explained to the group what happened before. After this, the group proposed to get a new flower for Flabébé, but Grey told them it is not a normal flower available in flower stores, but instead a special flower called the "Fairy Flower", that only grows in a certain area. Ash and his friends then decided to go look for this special flower and bring it to the hospital Florence was staying. They advised Grey to keep Florence company in the meantime.

Later, just as Grey was assuring Florence Ash and his friends would bring the Fairy Flower soon, they entered the room Florence was staying in. They had successfully found a Fairy Flower, and Flabébé had attached herself to it. Flabébé was now happily reunited with Florence, and she suddenly felt a lot better.

Saddened by this, Flabébé became sad and left Grey while he slept to go see Florence again, only to be blown away by a gust of wind and lose her flower. She landed in {{an|Bonnie}}'s hair, and took a liking to the girl because of the flower ornament in Bonnie's hair. After meeting up with Grey again at the Pokémon Center, Grey told them that Flabébé would need to find a new Fairy flower or else she would not be able to survive. They managed to find one, but {{TRT}} attacked the group and stole {{AP|Pikachu}}. Flabébé defeated Team Rocket with Aromatherapy, causing them to lose the will to fight. Afterward, the group met up with Florence at the hospital she was staying at. Seeing Flabébé again made Florence so happy that she felt like would recover soon. As they parted ways, Bonnie thanked Flabébé for the time they spent together, and she said farewell, hoping Flabébé would continue have a good life with Grey and Florence.

Flabébé's only known move is {{m|Aromatherapy}}.}}

Dolan

[[File:Dolan.png|thumb|250px|Dolan]]
'''Dolan''' (Japanese: '''ダズ''' ''Daz'') is a [[character of the day]] and a Pokémon smuggler who appeared in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]''. He served as the main antagonist of the episode.

Dolan drove by with his {{p|Diggersby}}, on the run from [[Officer Jenny]] and her {{p|Manectric}}, with a stolen {{p|Scatterbug}} that he was planning to sell. However, while swerving, the cage accidentally fell down and Dolan drove off since he was still being chased. Later, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} searched for Dolan with the help of Officer Jenny. Dolan returned to where the cage fell and found out that Scatterbug had evolved into {{p|Spewpa}}. Unbeknownst to him, the Spewpa was {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in disguise. He eventually found out sometime after driving off as the disguise fell off.

The group found Dolan in an abandoned laboratory and everyone except for Ash got trapped in a net that was set. Dolan confronted Ash and told the group about Chespin being valuable to sell despite not being in the Scatterbug evolutionary line. The two had a battle where Dolan was determined to defeat Ash. After {{AP|Froakie}} became weakened by Diggersby, Spewpa took over and was able to defeat Diggersby while evolving into {{p|Vivillon}}. Dolan tried to catch Vivillon with a net but Officer Jenny arrested him. Dolan was about to fight back but Vivillon's scales made him calm and he got dragged away by Officer Jenny.

Adam (AG094)

GamerGeek:

[[File:Adam Hoenn.png|thumb|250px|Adam]]
'''Adam ''' (Japanese: '''ソウヤ''' ''Sōya'') was a [[character of the day]] in ''[[AG094|The Relicanth Really Can!]]''.

Adam is a treasure-hunter who searches the sea for valuable artifacts. Some of the items he collects include [[shard]]s and old Pokémon shells. He was looking for the treasure of a ship when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him. He took the group into his submarine, and with the help of his wife {{ho|Evelyn}} from their boat above, Adam and the others set out to find the hidden treasure.

They found the ship after following a {{p|Relicanth}} and being sucked in by a whirlpool. When they found the ship, they discovered the treasure inside of it. The group wanted to take the treasure, but {{TRT}} took it instead and destroyed the ship. After making their getaway, they blocked the entrance to the sea cave. The Relicanth, however, knew a different way out, which allowed Ash and friends to escape and pursue Team Rocket. The Relicanth defeated Team Rocket and Adam had his treasure, though it was different from what he expected. While he thought gold or other precious jewels could be inside, the treasure chest only contained green shards. Although disappointed, Evelyn pointed out they could use them to make jewelry, which made Adam feel a bit better.

Adam and Evelyn then bid farewell to Ash and his friends as they headed off to [[Mossdeep City]].

'''Captain Stern''' (Japanese: '''クスノキ館長''' ''Captain Kusunoki'') is an oceanographer who lives in [[Slateport City]].

==In the games==
Due to his occupation, Captain Stern is responsible for a lot of the town's livelihood. He constructed the [[S.S. Tidal]], a ship transporting people to and from [[Lilycove City]] and Slateport City. He also built the [[Oceanic Museum]], and runs [[Stern's Shipyard]].

He ordered the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Rustboro City]]. [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] will threaten him in the Oceanic Museum to try to recover the Devon Goods, which are plans for a new submarine engine for Stern's next project— [[Submarine Explorer 1]].

After gaining access to the HMs {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Surf}}, the player can go to the [[Sea Mauville]] ([[Abandoned Ship]] in Generation III) in hopes of finding a Scanner. For {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, in exchange for that item, Captain Stern will offer either the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}} in return, both of which are required for {{p|Clamperl}} to evolve into {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}}, respectively. In {{2v2|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}}, Captain Stern instead gives the player the [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/6|OR}} or Tidal Bell{{sup/6|AS}}, which is required to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Lugia}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

==In the anime==
Captain Stern's [[Character of the day|only anime appearance]] was in ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]''.

Captain Stern is the curator of the Oceanic Museum. He was introduced to {{Ash}} and [[Max]] when Marius battled them and lost; Captain Stern stepped in and mentioned he had been looking for Marius. As the curator of the Oceanic Museum, which Ash and Max attempted to enter, he offered to give Ash and Max a tour. The museum had many sculptures of {{type|Water}} Pokémon and models of submarines. Captain Stern also showed off his latest find, a volcanic rock formed by underwater volcanoes, supposedly created by the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Groudon}}.

While the kids went to go get ice cream, members of [[Team Magma]] broke in and stole the stone.

Ash had confronted the member of Team Magma when Captain Stern caught up to them, and he sent out his {{p|Sealeo}}, which used an {{m|Aurora Beam}}. The blast caused the thief to drop the case and Marius caught it. Captain Stern told Max and Marius to run for it, and they escaped via the sea using Spheal. Ash, however, refused to run and continued to fight. After another flurry of attacks, the case opened and the stone broke. Team Magma got half of the stone; {{AP|Pikachu}} got the other.

Later, Ash apologized to Captain Stern for letting Team Magma escape, but Stern was grateful to just keep half of the stone so he could study it.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Captain Stern Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Captain Stern in Pokémon Adventures]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Captain Stern appears in a supporting role. {{adv|Ruby}} came to Slateport to enter a [[Pokémon Contest]] when [[Team Magma]] attacked, looking for Captain Stern. They kidnapped Stern, Ruby, the [[Pokémon Fan Club President]], and [[Dock]].

Team Magma wanted to use Submarine Explorer 1 to reach the [[Seafloor Cavern]], the deepest part of Hoenn's ocean. However, a special starter developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and transported in the Devon Goods was needed. Ruby saved Captain Stern but ended up drifting away in the submarine. During the conflict, Stern ended up being poisoned by a {{p|Torkoal}}.

Later, Captain Stern was able to inform [[Norman]], and [[Gabby and Ty]] of Ruby's location.

When {{p|Kyogre}} flooded half of Hoenn, Stern helped evacuate the people of Slateport into ships.

Captain Stern is apparently friends with both [[Steven Stone]] and [[Wallace]].

'''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]'s (later the [[Seafoam Islands]]') [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Volcano}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He is a highly intelligent man who uses {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Blaine's title is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master." His strategy is to incinerate challengers with his rough-and-ready Fire-type Pokémon. To reach Blaine, challengers have to answer a series of quiz questions about Pokémon. Blaine only takes off his sunglasses when thinking up new quiz questions.

When he once got lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range, he was guided out of the mountains by a {{p|Moltres}}. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine is a native of [[Cinnabar Island]], and has lived there since before the [[Pokémon Lab]] was built. He is apparently on good terms with [[Mr. Fuji]].

In addition to the Volcano Badge, Blaine gives out {{TM|38|Fire Blast}} in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} he gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the volcano on Cinnabar Island erupted, destroying the town, and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]], and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar. He plans to rebuild his Gym one day.

He is able to be battled again in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after collecting his number at any time on Tuesday. He is found on [[Cinnabar Island]]. A call to him on Tuesday afternoon will arrange a rematch. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blaine has added Gym Trainers and a puzzle to the Gym, unlike in Gold and Silver where Blaine stood alone in a small room.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Blaine anime.png|thumb|250px|Blaine in the anime]]
Blaine appeared in the episodes ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' and ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.

Blaine ran the Cinnabar Island Gym until the island started to become crowded with tourists. Instead of serious challengers, the Cinnabar Island [[Pokémon Center]] started to fill up with freeloading vacationers. Fed up with this, Blaine closed the Gym and opened up a hotel near the island's volcanic hot springs, disguising himself with a wig, a fake mustache and sunglasses. He also disguised his voice to be softer and lower pitched than normal. Blaine likes to make up riddles even in inappropriate situations.

When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met Blaine, he told them several riddles. Misty deciphered the riddles and eventually the trio found Blaine's hotel, and underneath the hotel in a volcanic cavern was the Cinnabar Island Gym. Ash challenged Blaine to a Gym match, but was easily defeated. After the battle, {{TRT}} attempted to steal Blaine's {{p|Magmar}} by freezing it with guns that projected beams of ice. Magmar broke free in the end; however, the sudden cooling of the walls in the lava cave caused the rock to begin to crack, indicating that the Cinnabar Island volcano was going to erupt.

Ash, Blaine, Misty, and Brock used their {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to dam the cracks in the walls with boulders. During the emergency, Ash's {{AP|Charizard}} and Blaine's {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} gained an interest in the other's strength, each wishing to test it in battle. Blaine agreed to a rematch with Ash; due to the internal damage of the volcano, it was held on the volcano's crater. At first, Magmar and Charizard were evenly matched, but Charizard's ability to fly gave it an advantage. It lifted Magmar high into the air and used {{m|Seismic Toss}}, slamming Magmar into the volcano. The Spitfire Pokémon was knocked out, and Blaine was defeated.

|desc={{p|Ninetales}} was Blaine's first Pokémon used in his battle with Ash. Despite its beautiful looks, Ninetales proved to be an incredibly powerful Pokémon, knocking out [[Ash's Squirtle]] with a single attack. Ninetales was recalled when Ash sent out his Charizard.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.

Ninetales's only known move is {{m|Fire Spin}}.}}

|desc=After Ash chose Charizard in his battle, Blaine countered it by choosing {{p|Rhydon}}. Charizard refused to fight the {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, so Rhydon went up against {{AP|Pikachu}} in its place. Blaine doubted the Electric-type could defeat Rhydon, but Ash encouraged Pikachu to use Rhydon's horn as a conductor of electricity that eventually caused its defeat. This battle sparked a now well-known Internet meme in the Pokémon fandom, as Rhydon is usually immune to Electric-type attacks.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}.}}

|desc={{p|Magmar}} is Blaine's final Pokémon and his powerhouse. In the first battle, Magmar easily defeated Ash's {{p|Pikachu}}. After the battlefield was wrecked due to Team Rocket's influence, Magmar and Ash's Charizard ended up gaining a respect for each other and wanted to test their strengths against one another. This was done in Ash's rematch with Blaine on top of Cinnabar's volcano. However, despite Magmar's powerful attacks including {{m|Fire Blast}}, Charizard managed to come out on top.}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Erika Blaine Adventures.png|240px|thumb|Blaine and Erika]]
Blaine was a former member of [[Team Rocket]], joining because of his interest in science and conducting experiments on some of {{adv|Red}}'s future Pokémon, namely {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Eevee}}. He was first seen (albeit without a speaking role), studying and generating {{adv|Mewtwo}} under the [[Rocket Game Corner]]. But after hearing of Red's clashes with Team Rocket, like protecting {{p|Mew}} from them, Blaine left, attempting to make up for his evil deeds. When Red reached Cinnabar Island, Blaine was under attack by members of Team Rocket and their newly captured {{p|Moltres}}, on loan from [[Sabrina]].

Blaine had his Rapidash carry Red to his Pokémon Lab, while Red let Blaine use his Gyarados to hold off Moltres in return. At the Pokémon Lab, Red was able to revive an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from a [[fossil]]. Aerodactyl helped rescue Blaine and defeat Moltres.

Later, Blaine asked Red to help him in [[Cerulean Cave]]. While he was working under Team Rocket, Blaine combined some of Mew's DNA with his own to create a hybrid Pokémon named {{adv|Mewtwo}}. Some of Blaine's hand was infected with Mewtwo's DNA, and thus he was able to track the synthetic Pokémon. Because of this, Team Rocket attempted to abduct Blaine to review Mewtwo's whereabouts. Using the [[Master Ball]], Red was able to capture Mewtwo for Blaine after Blaine tried and was seriously injured in the process. This is when Blaine revealed why he quit Team Rocket. He saw Red's compassion for Pokémon in the Rocket Game Corner and it made Blaine realize that he created two monsters, Mewtwo and himself. He then decided that he didn't care what Team Rocket would do to him, but rather that he needed to catch Mewtwo and help it. It was then suggested by Red that he needed to show Mewtwo compassion because all that it knew about humans was cruelty and arrogance.

The psychic bond between Mewtwo and Blaine limited them both. If they were apart for too long, both would begin to become ill. Blaine worked for several years trying to find a way to sever the bond without hurting either of them. He then appeared during the {{chap|Yellow}} as one of the "Good" Gym Leaders of Kanto. After {{tc|Super Nerd}} Miles was defeated, he used Growlithe's [[Odor Sleuth]] and deduced that Red must have been at [[Mt. Moon]]. When Miles was being lifted away by [[Agatha]] and her {{p|Gastly}} Blaine tried to use Growlithe's Fire Blast to knock it out, only for it to almost kill a Caterpie had Yellow not saved it.
[[File:Blaine disguises Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Blaine changing his disguise in the {{chap|Yellow}}]]
He was then seen back on Cinnabar Island training with {{tc|Camper}} Evan using Mewtwo to practice their connection using a disguise. Yellow then finds out that it was Blaine and that he was simply wearing a disguise because he didn't know who was watching. He then hears a message from [[Brock]] reporting that he found an ice sculpture of {{adv|Red}} in [[Mt. Moon]]. He then travels to Cerise Island with Yellow (albeit by different routes) and Mewtwo, revealing that that was what they were training for. He then runs into Blue and sees several Pokémon, believing them to belong to the Elite Four, but actually belonging to [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]].

During the [[Cerise Island]] incident, [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]] paired Blaine and {{adv|Yellow}} together in the fight against the [[Elite Four]]. They intruded on Lt. Surge and Bill's battle with Bruno. They were blocked out by a strange barrier, however, and were kept out since Bruno did not wish for anyone to interfere with their battle. Together, they confronted [[Lance]]. However, the bond between Mewtwo and Blaine proved to be their undoing, and they were defeated, leaving Yellow to face Lance alone.

Later, during the [[Masked Man]]'s plot in [[Johto]], {{p|Entei}} chose Blaine to be its partner. The healing power of Entei's flames was finally able to cut the link between Mewtwo and Blaine, and the two were free to live their lives apart from each other. Yet, Blaine's corroding hand still served as a reminder of his past with Mewtwo, as demonstrated in the {{chap|FireRed and LeafGreen}} when Mewtwo was facing off against {{p|Deoxys}}.

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Blaine also works as a Pokémon ecologist.

Although he's serious for most situations, he also had his comical moments. Blaine had his mustache burnt when he was training and had to use fake ones. Sometimes, he may also use riddles to lighten up the dark atmosphere.

|epname=Tauros the Tyrant
|desc={{p|Mewtwo}} was created by Blaine in a Team Rocket hideout using a small sample of {{p|Mew}}'s DNA and Blaine's own. After it was fully cultivated in the [[Pokémon Lab]] on Cinnabar Island, it went berserk and demolished the place before settling in the [[Cerulean Cave]] (where it wreaked havoc in the northwestern sector of [[Cerulean City]]). Eventually, Red caught word of it and reached the cave out of curiosity before nearly being killed in its {{m|Psywave|psychic tornado}}. Blaine made a valiant attempt to kill it at all costs, knowing that if he, the only one with the ability to function as a "Mewtwo Radar" was defeated, the world could come to an end. Although this succeeded in eliminating its tornado, the mutant itself still survived, only to be caught with a Master Ball that was thrown by Red in an ingenious maneuver. Mewtwo then went on to be a trained Pokémon belonging to Blaine and fought against [[Lance]] in the {{chap|Yellow}}, though Blaine's failing health held it back from winning. After it was released a year later, it partnered up with Red much later on to free {{adv|Deoxys}} from {{adv|Giovanni}}'s hands.}}

Entei's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}, and its Ability is {{a|Pressure}}.}}

[[File:Blaine Zensho.png|thumb|200px|Blaine in Pokémon Zensho]]
Blaine appeared in ''[[PZ08|Cinnabar Island]]''. He tells Satoshi about his Gym on Cinnabar. Satoshi meets up with him and they have a battle. Blaine uses Arcanine and Satoshi uses Charmeleon which results in Satoshi winning the battle. As a result, his Charmeleon starts to evolve into a Charizard. Blaine explains that he was in Seafoam Islands and his Fire Pokémon were hurt. While he was there, he remembers seeing Articuno fly away. Blaine uses his Charizard to capture the Articuno that has been flying around the island.

==Trivia==
* Although {{p|Magmar}} appears as Blaine's signature Pokémon in the anime, he only has one in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, with it not even appearing in his Gym team in Yellow (which went as far as giving [[Lt. Surge]] only {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} to mimic the anime).
** This may be due to the fact that ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' aired only a month prior to the release of {{game|Yellow}}, by which point Yellow was likely in the final stages of production.
** This is somewhat circumvented in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, where in he uses a Magmar in the Gym battle and a {{p|Magmortar}} in the [[Generation IV]] rematch as his signature Pokémon.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he is one of two Gym Leaders who in the rematches does not have any items on any of their Pokémon (the other being [[Jasmine]]).
* Despite the {{p|Arcanine}} evolutionary line being his signature Pokémon in Generation I and III, Arcanine is no longer in his party in Generation II and its remakes.
* Even when the player battles Blaine in a rematch, he still references his "Cave Gym" as if the battle's taking place there.
* Blaine is the only Gym Leader to have a Gym in two different locations.
** He is also the only Gym Leader so far whose Gym is not in a town or city.
* In Generation {{Gen|III}}, most Kanto Gym Leaders who share a specialty type with a Hoenn Gym Leader give out the same prize TM as the Hoenn counterpart. Blaine is the exception, rewarding [[TM38]] ([[Fire Blast]]) instead of [[TM50]] ([[Overheat]]), as [[Flannery]] does. He does reward TM50 in Generation IV, however.

===Design differences===
[[File:Blaine disguise anime.png|thumb|200px|Blaine's anime disguise]]
Blaine has two separate character designs. The first one is from early Sugimori artwork for [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. He is depicted as a bald man with light red hair to the back and side of his head, with no mustache and no sunglasses wearing beach clothes. The old design was reused in the {{pkmn|anime}} (as Blaine's real look) and very briefly in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga (as a disguise after his mustache was burned).

Later, in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and outside-Japan [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] the artwork was revised and he started to be depicted as an older man with a mustache, and no hair on his scalp, wearing sunglasses and lab coat. Despite the artwork changes, his new design was used in ''all'' Generation I main series games, including the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. This means that Blaine's design was probably changed very late in the production of Red and Green, since his official artwork and his in-game sprite are completely different portrayals. However, his Red and Green overworld sprite still shows him without glasses, while later in the {{pkmn|Yellow Version}}, his glasses are clearly visible.

The reasons for changing the design is unknown; however, the [[Fame Checker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} explains why he doesn't always wear sunglasses: "Blaine is said to remove his dark shades only when he is thinking up new quiz questions."

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Blaine is shown wearing a hat. He wears more sophisticated clothing than his previous lab coat. He also sports a cane that resembles a question mark.

'''Alexa''' (Japanese: '''パンジー''' ''Pansy'') is a journalist from [[Lumiose City]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. She works at the {{DL|Lumiose City|Lumiose Press}}.

==In the games==
Alexa is first met in [[Santalune City]], where she prevents the player from going to {{rt|4|Kalos}} until her sister, [[Viola]], is defeated. After Viola is defeated, she will let the player pass and also give them an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}.

The player later meets her at the Lumiose Press building on Estival Avenue. She will suggest various locations in Lumiose for the player to see and will offer to take the player.

===Quotes===
'''[[Santalune City]]'''
* Before defeating Viola
:''"Oh, you... You are, aren't you? You're one of the kids who got a Pokémon from [[Professor Sycamore|Augustine Sycamore]], right? That <lead Pokémon> you've got there looks pretty happy. You must be a good Trainer. In that case, get over to the Pokémon Gym. I'm sure my sister will be glad to meet you!"''

* After defeating Viola
:''"Oh, you... You are, aren't you? You're one of the kids who got a Pokémon from Augustine Sycamore, right? Would you look at that! You got the {{badge|Bug}}! Looks like I might have a new scoop. To beat Viola at your young age... You really are something, aren't you? Oh! Sorry, I never did introduce myself, did I? I'm Alexa. The Gym Leader you just faced, Viola, is my younger sister. I work as a journalist myself. Here, why don't you take this to celebrate getting your first Badge!"''
:''"If you have an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} and you turn it on, all of the Pokémon in your [[party|team]] get [[experience|Exp. Points]], even if they don't appear in battle. I hope it helps you with your {{pkmn|training}}! I work at the big publishing house up in [[Lumiose City]]. Feel free to stop by anytime if you have the next big scoop to share with me!"''

'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Lumiose Press}}'''
* First visit
:''"Oh! You're that kid--the one who came to see me! Hey, hey, so tell me... Has that Exp. Share been useful? You haven't forgotten about me, have you? I'm the journalist Alexa. I gather info about what's going on in Lumiose, and then I write it down. I travel the {{pkmn|world}} to gather information, but Lumiose is my real stomping ground. And I don't just know the famous shops. I could tell you exactly how many {{p|Espurr}} are in every one of our alleys! I know everything about this city, so you just come to me if there's anything you ever want to know!"''
* Subsequent visits
:''"Hey, kid! You're back! Good to see you again!"''
* After greeting the player
:''"Do you want to know about Lumiose's hottest spots?"''
::'''No''': ''"OK! Come visit us again!"''
::'''Yes''': (gives a list of the spots to choose from)
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|South Boulevard}}''': ''"That's the boulevard that surrounds the south half of Lumiose City, OK? The most popular shops on it are the {{DL|Lumiose City|Sycamore Pokémon Lab|Pokémon Lab}}, the {{DL|Lumiose City|PR Video Studio}}, and the salon, {{DL|Lumiose City|Coiffure Clips}}. You can reach {{rt|4|Kalos}} or {{rt|5|Kalos}} from there. Or as we locals call 'em... Parterre Way and Versant Road!"''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|North Boulevard}}''': ''"That's the boulevard that runs around the northern half of Lumiose City, of course. The popular destinations on North are the [[Battle Institute]], [[Hotel Richissime]], and... Oh, {{DL|Lumiose City|Lumiose Station}} to hop on the TMV! If you want to reach {{rt|13|Kalos}}, {{rt|14|Kalos|14}}, or {{rt|16|Kalos|16}}, you can get there from here. But of course, we locals all know them as Lumiose Badlands, Laverre Nature Trail, and Mélancolie Path!"'
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Vernal Avenue}}''': ''"Vernal Avenue is on the south of Lumiose City, and it's packed with specialty shops. In {{DL|Lumiose City|Boutique Couture}}, for example, you can get items that are unique to Lumiose City. {{DL|Lumiose City|Firseur Furfrou}} is the only place that most people will trust with grooming their [[Furfrou]]. There's also the {{DL|Lumiose City|Herboriste}} and a ton of little cafés."''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Estival Avenue}}''': ''"Estival Avenue is a avenue on the south side of Lumiose City with a relaxing atmosphere. You can find popular spots like the {{DL|Lumiose City|Loto-ID Center}}, where people say you can win big, and a café where roller-skating enthusiasts gather. And most important of all... This company right here! You should already know that, though, since you came in today!"''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Autumnal Avenue}}''': ''"Autumnal Avenue is on the north side of Lumiose City and has a few special shops. Some are really big with the tourists, like the {{DL|Lumiose City|Poké Ball Boutique}}, where they only sell [[Poké Ball]]s--every kind under the sun. Then there's a shop that specializes in juice, the {{DL|Lumiose City|Juice Shoppe}}, which Pokémon all love. And {{DL|Lumiose City|Restaurant Le Yeah}} serves decent food."''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Hibernal Avenue}}''': ''"Hibernal Avenue is one of the avenues up on the northern side of Lumiose City. It's famous for its three-star restaurant, {{DL|Lumiose City|Restaurant Le Wow}}, which is THE place to be. All the VIPs in Kalos are seen there."''
:::'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Centrico Plaza}}''': ''"Centrico Plaza stretches out around the symbol of Lumiose City, [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. Vernal, Estival, Autumnal, and Hibernal: all four major avenues connect there, at the center and the heart of the entire city. [[Phil the Photo Guy]] is probably a big draw, too."''
::''"Do you know how to get there? Want me to show you the way?"''
:::'''Yes''': ''"OK! Go out of this building and..."'' (player warps to the area asked about)
:::'''No''': ''"If you ever need a guide, don't hesitate to ask me!"''
::''"Anyplace else in Lumiose City that you're curious about?"''
:::'''No''': ''"OK! Come visit us again!"''
:::'''Yes''': (gives a list of the spots to choose from)

==In the anime==
===''Best Wishes'' series===
[[File:Alexa anime.png|thumb|250px|Alexa in the anime]]
Alexa first appeared in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', with her {{p|Gogoat}} and {{p|Helioptile}}.

When Helioptile bumped into {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on [[Harvest Island]], Ash used his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle it, but Helioptile fired an electric move, then Alexa arrived with Gogoat, and mentioned that the Helioptile is hers. Since both of Alexa's Pokémon were not native to the region at the time, Ash's Pokédex could not recognize them. Alexa then introduced herself, and mentioned that she came all the way from the [[Kalos]] region to write an article about the [[Grand Harvest Festival]], which was the tradition of Harvest Island.

While there, she learned about a [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] that was going to take place there. When Ash was bumped by [[Rodney]], who became Ash's new rival for the tournament, Alexa comforted him. At the end of the tournament, when Ash had won, Alexa had filmed the tournament, including Ash giving Rodney an apple after he lost. After the tournament was officially finished, Alexa decided to travel with the group.

[[File:Alexa magazine.png|thumb|250px|left|A magazine detailing Alexa's journalism]]
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', she went to an {{OBP|Unnamed island|BW135|island}} with the group which was known to have some treasure. After arrival, she recorded some footage of a sunken ship there and then passed through a gate that took her to some wild Pokémon that evolved from some stones. Continuing onward with a group of three {{p|Eevee}}, she found a secret passageway which led her to the treasure chest. After Alexa found the treasure and got the Eevee to evolve, the Pokémon began to respect her and the group. Afterwards, she left with the group and waved her farewells to the Pokémon.

In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' after Alexa and the group arrived on [[Cave Island]], she temporarily left the group and rode on her Gogoat to find something to film. At the end of the episode, she returned to Ash and his friends and as she missed out on a {{Shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}} who lived on the island, [[Clair]] showed the Druddigon to her as she caught it earlier.

In ''[[BW138|Go, Go Gogoat!]],'' it was revealed that Gogoat was Alexa's first Pokémon; she caught it after it helped her back up a cliff to her campsite.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', while Ash parted ways with {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, Alexa remained with him and followed him to [[Pallet Town]]. In the [[BW142|next episode]], she told Ash that [[Viola|her sister]] is a [[Gym Leader]] in the Kalos region. At the end of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Alexa accompanied Ash as he traveled to Kalos.

===''XY'' series===
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Alexa and Ash arrived in [[Kalos]] by plane. When Ash wanted to challenge her sister, Alexa explained that her gym isn't in [[Lumiose City]], but rather [[Santalune City]] instead. She then made a call off-screen to her sister, but revealed to Ash that she would be gone for a while. After showing Ash a map of Lumiose City, she parted ways with Ash and wished him good luck.

Alexa reappeared in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'' to watch Ash's battle against Viola, and she appeared again in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'' to help Ash and his Pokémon in training.

Alexa reappeared in ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''.

===Character===
Since her debut, Alexa is shown to be rather forgetful, a trait her Gogoat seems to have gotten used to. She carries out her journalism work with pleasure as well as earnestness, often working late into the night. In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' she became so engrossed in her work that she failed to realize the crisis Team Rocket was causing. Despite this, she is clever and a competent battler as shown in ''[[BW137|Celebrating the Hero's Comet!]]''. She chose to delete her data of the deserted island in ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' in respect for the Pokémon who had been guarding its secret.

She is very cheerful and is often smiling and enthusiastic, a characteristic she shares with Ash with whom she gets along very well. She calmed the young Trainer down after his confrontation with [[Rodney]] and comforted him after saying farewell to Iris and Cilan. In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' she was notably disappointed when Ash got upset about not being able to battle her sister. She shows more focus or even aggression in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', especially when battling Ash. She was surprised that {{an|Serena}} was the person to inspire Ash in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', indicating that she wanted to be the one to inspire him.

Helioptile first appeared jumping out of a flower field after getting lost, where it encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. When Ash tried to capture it, Helioptile became scared and attacked him in retaliation, until Alexa came and explained that Helioptile belonged to her. Later, Helioptile acted as a charger when Alexa needed to charge her recording equipment after the battery was low.

While Helioptile was initially hesitant of Ash, it would eventually befriend him as Alexa predicted, running into the young Trainer's arms in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', Helioptile showed it had developed a good relationship with {{AP|Pikachu}}, often linking their electricity. When {{an|Professor Oak}} began to study Helioptile, he was shocked by the timid Pokémon.

Helioptile's only known move is {{m|Parabolic Charge}}.}}

In his excitement the Professor began tugging on Noivern's ears before the Sound Wave Pokémon eventually attacked. Noivern was then fed and returned to its Poké Ball. Noivern is completely loyal to Alexa but will bite someone if it isn't fed immediately after work.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'' Alexa used Noivern to help Ash train {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} to withstand attacks from [[Viola]]'s Pokémon.

Noivern's known moves are {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Boomburst}}, and {{m|Gust}}.}}

[[File:Alexa Adventures.png|thumb|right|130px|Alexa in Pokémon Adventures]]
Alexa makes her first appearance in the {{chap|X & Y}}, where she goes to [[Vaniville Town]] with Viola to interview up-and-coming {{tc|Sky Trainer}} {{adv|Y}}. Noting that she used to be a {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer in the past, Alexa wonders why Y decided to switch from the land to the sky. Y refuses to answer and states that she hates reporters for causing her friend {{adv|X}} to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts. Before the interview can continue, the legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} appear and begin destroying the town while fighting each other. When Viola wonders if the two are actually even Pokémon, Alexa states that she isn't sure either but notes that according to a 3,000 year old legend, Xerneas and Yveltal appear every 1,000 years.

At Lumiose City, Alexa finishes up her report on the Vaniville Town incident. She wonders why the news has only been reporting the incident as a "strange explosion" and completely ignored the Legendary Pokémon. She gets a call from Viola, who had been injured, much to Alexa's surprise. Viola informs Alexa that Team Flare is behind the incidents all over Kalos and reveals that Y and her friends are on their way to Lumiose City. Alexa then goes to Prism Tower to have an interview with [[Professor Sycamore]] concerning the Vaniville Town incident. By the time she arrives, the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief has already beaten Alexa to the interview and finished it as well. After Sycamore leaves, Alexa hands her notes of the Vaniville Town incident to the editor-in-chief, who promptly burns them. The editor-in-chief then attacks Alexa with a {{p|Pangoro}}, but she is saved at the last minute by {{adv|X}}. The editor-in-chief continues battling X and even takes Alexa's {{p|Helioptile|Eri-chan}} hostage. Y and the others take Alexa down to safety, confident that X will get Eri-chan back. Once they get to the ground floor, Alexa realizes that the media is working for a great evil that is deliberately keeping information about the Legendary Pokémon from the public.

X eventually manages to defeat the editor-in-chief's Pokémon and successfully retrieves Eri-chan for Alexa. Alexa thanks the kids for their help and gives them a Lumiose journal from three years ago under the hope that it will somehow help the kids on their journey. She says her goodbyes and takes a cab to {{rt|4|Kalos}} so that she can meet up with Viola again in Santalune City.

When the editor-in-chief beats them there, he reveals himself as a Team Flare member and kidnaps Eri-chan. When {{adv|X}} defeats the editor-in-chief's {{p|Pangoro}}, it falls out a window, letting in sunlight that Eri-chan uses to recharge itself enough to shock the editor-in-chief and knock him unconscious.

Nanette

GamerGeek:

[[File:Nanette.png|thumb|250px|Nanette]]
'''Nanette''' (Japanese: '''ノノミ''' ''Nonomi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]''. She is a new {{pkmn|Trainer}} just starting out on her [[Pokémon journey]] and was on her way to [[Nuvema Town]] to get her [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. She is very anxious and fears that everything will turn out worse than the reality.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met her as she was having trouble crossing over a bridge. They crossed ahead of her, reassuring her that the bridge was safe. Later, when she arrived at the lab, she refused to go inside, fearing it was full of hostile {{p|Galvantula}} and instead called out to anyone inside. She met with Ash and his friends again who invited her inside, and again she panicked, fearing Professor Juniper would be cruel to her. Instead, the Professor greeted her with a smile, and released {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} so she could choose one as her starter. Nanette then worried that if she chose Snivy, it would evolve in her sleep and constrict her in affection as a Serperior. She ruled out Oshawott as well, as she worried that it might accidentally {{m|Water Gun|drench}} her in her sleep. So, Nanette decided, thanks to {{an|Cilan}}'s advice, to choose Tepig as her starter Pokémon.

Ash and his friends decided to help Nanette bond with Tepig through a [[Tag Battle]]. She initially told Tepig to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} after Ash commanded Pikachu to do do, which confused it. Ash reminded her that Tepig is a Fire-type and thus can't use Thunderbolt and to look up its moves in her [[Pokédex]]. The battle was soon interrupted when {{TRT}} appeared in one of their mechas. In a panic, Nanette quickly returned Tepig to its [[Poké Ball]] as the other Pokémon were stunned by {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. Team Rocket nearly managed to steal Pikachu, but Nanette was able to distract Team Rocket with Tepig, who ended up being captured instead. Ash then sent {{AP|Unfezant}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} to rescue Tepig, and it was eventually returned to Nanette. Nanette then set off on her own journey.

[[File:Kimmy Shoney.png|thumb|250px|Kimmy Shoney]]
'''Kimmy Shoney''' (Japanese: '''ショウギ・ケイマ''' ''Keima Shōgi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]''. He lives on [[Giban Island]] with his parents, [[Korban and Harmony Shoney]].

Kimmy was upset when he met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. His {{p|Linoone}}, Tokin, had been stealing round objects for no obvious reason, including [[Poké Ball]]s that contained two of {{an|May}}'s Pokémon.

Kimmy couldn't figure out what was going on with his Pokémon until {{TRT}} tried to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Linoone chased after the balloon. Kimmy then remembered how he and Tokin used to play catch before it [[Evolution|evolved]], and that it was just trying to have some fun. After Pikachu was saved and Team Rocket was sent blasting off, Kimmy promised to pay more attention to his Pokémon and to start playing with it again.

Using his [[Pokédex]], he discovered what it was. They visited the Shoney household to see if they had seen a Linoone and it was revealed that it is Kimmy's, named '''Tokin''' (Japanese: '''トキンちゃん''' ''Tokin-chan'').

It was revealed that Tokin has an obsession with round objects and has a large collection in its shed. They looked inside for May's Poké Balls but were unable to find them. Tokin used to be a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and it would play fetch with Kimmy, using its Poké Ball, but it took things too far. The group looked around the forest and in trees to try to find May's Poké Balls. {{TRT}} decided they would steal Tokin for the [[Boss fantasy|Boss]].

Suddenly, Tokin was spotted with May's Poké Balls in its mouth, but was immediately captured by Team Rocket. Kimmy tried to save Tokin but was badly hurt. {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Iron Tail}} to break the net, but Team Rocket captured Pikachu too. Linoone however targeted at Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], as it is round, and was able to save Pikachu and send Team Rocket blasting off. Kimmy decided to spend more time with Tokin from now on, making Tokin happy.

Tokin's known moves are {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and its Ability is {{a|Pickup}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Kimmy's Japanese family name comes from the traditional Japanese game {{wp|Shogi}}, also known as Japanese Chess, while his first name comes from 桂馬 ''keima'' (knight), one of the figures from that game. His Linoone is named after と金 ''tokin'' (promoted pawn), another figure. Similarly, the other members of the family are named after Shogi figures as well.
** Tokin's name is also similar to the word ''token'', which may refer to its tendency to pick up items.

GamerGeek: Touching up the article and removing incorrect roles (i.e. Eva Christensen voiced Dextra: http://www.yugioh.com/characters/dextra)

[[File:Veronica Taylor.jpg|thumb|300px|Veronica Taylor]]
'''Veronica Taylor''' (born April 9, 1978) was a voice actress for the English-language [[dub]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] by [[4Kids Entertainment]].

==Biography==
Taylor began acting in school plays when she was five years old. In college, she participated in plays and acting workshops, and continued her acting education through graduate school. She has also trained in voice acting and singing. Her first anime job came when her acting coach recommended her to the director. With reference to the interview with Veronica Taylor on YouTube, she appears to be embarrassed to voice Ash in public or in front of the camera, by covering her mouth when doing Ash's voice. She also revealed that she had to deepen her voice and do warm-ups and cool-downs in the process of voicing Ash in 4Kids.

Taylor, as well as [[Maddie Blaustein]], [[Rachael Lillis]], Jim Malone, and [[Norman Grossfeld]], among others, did a commentary for [[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]. During this, Veronica revealed that she was embarrassed to do the voice of a male character, yet delighted to be a part of such a successful show.

==Pokémon roles==
Taylor voiced two of the {{ashfr|main characters}}, {{Ash}} and {{an|May}}, and various other roles until the end of [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle|the eighth season]], when {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}} and [[TAJ Productions]] [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|took over the dubbing and distribution of the anime]]. Her main roles were taken over by [[Sarah Natochenny]] (Ash and Delia) and [[Michele Knotz]] (May). She has not returned to provide voices in the anime since.

'''The Bridge Bike Gang''' (Japanese: '''あらしのサイクリングロード''' ''Stormy Cycling Road'') is the 36th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 2, 1997 and in the United States on October 23, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

In the course of a journey, one meets up with many different things. Returning to civilization after a long period of wandering, our heroes find a bridge that reaches 20 kilometers in length. There is no way to reach Sunnytown—on the other side of the bridge—but by crossing. The bridge, however, has been designed especially for bicycles. The party tries to purchase bicycles in order to cross the bridge, but lacking the funds and otherwise at a complete loss, they decide to stop by the Pokémon Center and re-evaluate their plans. At the Pokémon Center, by pure luck, a job awaits them—delivering medicine to Sunnytown.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} came across a bridge during their travels. They wanted to walk on it but an officer named Norman said only the bike track was ready, not the actual road. Devastated, the group then attempted to get a [[Bicycle|bike]] but was unsuccessful. When they arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] to think of a plan to get a bike, they found a worried [[Nurse Joy]]. She said she had to deliver medicine for injured {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} over the bridge to [[Sunnytown]], but she could not leave the center because she had Pokémon to attend to. Ash and Misty agreed enthusiastically. As they rode joyfully across the bridge, [[James]], [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} sailed slowly below the bridge. Jessie made plans.

Just after Ash and his group finished their refreshments, a strange group of wild bikers came. They tried to escape but were surrounded. The leader of the gang, [[Chopper]], challenged Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}. He sent out {{p|Golem}} and Ash sent out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Golem easily defeated it with a single {{m|Tackle}}. Ash then sent out {{AP|Charmander}}. Charmander set Golem on fire with a {{m|Flamethrower}} and an {{m|Ember}}. Golem tackled Charmander but ended up setting fire to three of the gang's members. Chopper withdrew his Golem but the {{ball|Poké}} was still hot from Charmander's attack.

Next, [[Tyra]], the other leader of the bike gang, sent out {{p|Cloyster}}. Misty wanted to battle and tried to send out {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} but {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} appeared. Misty decided to give it a chance, which got Tyra laughing her head off. Psyduck was clueless and the bike gang cracked up in laughter. Psyduck used {{m|Tail Whip}} and again, the bike gang laughed at it. After a few rounds of this humiliation, {{TRT}} arrived and said their {{motto}}. But it appeared that Team Rocket were heroes in the bike gang's view. Jessie was called "Chain Jess" because she used to swing a chain around as she rode her bike. James was called "Little Jim" because he was the only one in the group who had used training wheels. Just as Team Rocket and the bike gang attacked Ash, Misty and Brock, the police arrived. The bike gang immediately rode off, almost leaving Team Rocket behind. When [[Officer Jenny]] arrived, she offered them a ride but then said she had a job to do. The [[Weather conditions|weather]] got ferocious and turned into a storm. Meanwhile, Chopper and Tyra challenged Team Rocket to ride through the storm on their unicycles.

In [[Sunnytown]], Nurse Joy was worried that medicine wasn't arriving to cure the injured Pokémon, a {{p|Shellder}}.
Then, a ship passed by and the bridge lifted up but Ash was determined to save the sick Pokémon, for it would have been too late if they had stopped for the bridge to go back down. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are trying their hardest to pedal their unicycles up the other side of the upturned bridge. Just as Ash, Misty, and Brock are not going to make it, they saw Team Rocket jumping off the other side and bounced on their heads, sending Team Rocket into the water while allowing them to be propelled upward and on to the other side. As they passed the bike gang, they challenged Ash to a battle. Ash, of course, refused and told them he's delivering medicine for a sick Pokémon. The bike gang realized now why they were riding through the storm and joined them. Nurse Joy in Sunnytown was relieved when the bike gang and Ash arrived with the medicine. The bike gang's new heroes were "Awesome Ash" and "Mighty Misty". Then, Brock tells Tyra that she can call him "Honey", only to receive a large, red slap across his face.

==Major events==
* [[Misty's Psyduck]] is revealed to be able to use {{m|Confusion}} and {{m|Disable}} only when its headache is severe enough.

===Errors===
* In one scene at the Pokémon Center in Sunnytown, Chopper's hair is darker than usual.

===Dub edits===
* Originally, Misty wanted curry while Brock wanted ''ochazuke'' or pancakes. In the English version, Misty wants a hot dog while Brock wants deep-dish extra cheese pizza.
* The Pokémon Center's poster had text removed.
* Misty complains about doing all the work on the bike she and Brock share, while originally she was upset because she wanted a bike only she rode, not a shared bike.
* Big Jess and Little Jim's original names were 姉御 ''Anego'' (big sister) and 兄貴 ''Aniki'' (big brother).
** Jessie's original nickname was チェーンのムサシ ''Chēn no Musashi'' (Chain {{tt|Musashi|Jessie}}) instead of Chainer Jessie. While James's was 補助輪のコジロウ ''Hojorin no Kojirō'' (Training Wheels {{tt|Kojirō|James}}) instead of Trainer James.
* In the Danish dub, Norman's dialogue is altered to include a contemporary pop culture reference to {{wp|Scandlines}} TV commercial characters Kaj and Bøje, a pair of seagulls.

'''Tyra''' (Japanese: '''ミサ''' ''Misa'') is a [[character of the day]] in the episode ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]''.

She battled against {{an|Misty}} with her {{p|Cloyster}}. Tyra seemed to have the upper hand, but because of {{TRT}}'s disturbance, the battle was undecided. Tyra recognized [[Jessie]] as "Big Jess". She and the rest of the gang were ultimately scared away by the police; however, upon convincing Jessie, [[James]], and {{MTR}} to ride in the storm, she returned to the cycling road. There, she and the other members helped {{Ash}} deliver the medicine to the sick {{p|Shellder}} in [[Sunnytown]].

Misty told Psyduck to use {{m|Tail Whip}}, which didn't give any result and only got the gang laughing harder. Upon Tyra's command, Cloyster then opened its shell and used Clamp on Psyduck's tail, causing it to scream in pain. Due to this, Tyra declared herself the winner of the match.

Cloyster's only known move is {{m|Clamp}}.}}

[[File:Chopper.png|thumb|250px|Chopper]]
'''Chopper''' (Japanese: '''マサ''' ''Masa'') is a [[character of the day]] in the episode ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]''. He is a member of a gang who have claimed [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] as their territory. They {{pkmn|battle}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who are traveling across the bridge.

Chopper entered into a battle with {{Ash}}, and while his {{p|Golem}} was able to defeat his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, it was defeated by [[Ash's Charmander]].

After the battle, Ash and {{ashfr}} continued across the bridge to [[Sunnytown]], attempting to deliver medicine to a sick {{p|Shellder}}. However, Chopper and the other bikers stopped them, wanting to battle. When Ash declined, saying he was trying to deliver medicine to a sick Pokémon, Chopper was impressed that Ash would brave dangerous weather to help a Pokémon. He and the other bikers escorted the kids to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Chopper, impressed with Ash's bravery, announced that the gang would dub him "Awesome Ash."

Chopper and [[Tyra]], another biker, are old friends of [[Jessie]] and [[James]], as they were once part of the bike gang.

Ash recalls Bulbasaur and sends out {{p|Charmander}}. It uses {{m|Ember}}, but Golem is unaffected. The Megaton Pokémon then attacks with Rock Throw, but Charmander dodges and attacks with {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} in succession, covering Golem's body with flames. Golem attempts to Tackle Charmander, but just ends up rolling amongst the bike gang as a red-hot ball of fire, forcing Chopper to recall it. Even after the battle, Golem's [[Poké Ball]] was so hot that Chopper almost burned his fingers while holding it. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.

Golem's known moves are {{m|Defense Curl}}, {{m|Tackle}}, and {{m|Rock Throw}}.}}

==Biography==
Eric Stuart, the son of a criminal attorney and a modern dancer, grew up in {{wp|Brooklyn}}. He was born October 18, 1967. He formed his first band at age 14, inspired by his music teacher.

After high school, Stuart worked as a production assistant and played shows in the New York City area.

'''Tyson''' (Japanese: '''テツヤ''' ''Tetsuya'') is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} from [[Mauville City]] who competed in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] and one of {{Ash}}'s [[rival]]s.
==History==
Tyson first appeared in ''[[AG125|Like A Meowth to Flame!]]''. He rescued Ash and {{ashfr}} from a flock of {{p|Murkrow}} with his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}}. They quickly became friends as it turns out they were going to the same place to eat and because Tyson has a certain fondness for food like {{an|May}}. The group met up with him interacting with [[Charles Goodshow]], where he found out that Ash and Brock were also torch-runners [[EP074|in the past]]. Later, an "Officer Jenny" and "Nurse Joy" ({{TRT}} in disguise) went up to Tyson and ran off with the torch of {{p|Moltres}}. He warned Ash and the gang that they ran off with the torch and chased after them. Tyson stopped [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]] by having his {{p|Metagross}} use {{m|Confusion}}. His Meowth successfully took the torch from the {{MTR|talking one}} and finished the villains with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

In [[AG126|the next episode]], he came to Ash's and [[Morrison]]'s rescue from Team Rocket's pit traps. Once again, his Meowth sent them away but this time, with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. He later battled [[Vivica]] and her {{p|Persian}} in the first round of the Ever Grande Conference. Tyson used Meowth and ended up winning the round, only for him to restrain Meowth from attacking any further.

[[File:Tyson Winning.png|thumb|250px|Tyson with the Ever Grande Championship Trophy]]
In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Tyson went up against [[Johnny]] with {{p|Sceptile}} and {{p|Aggron}} remaining as {{p|Donphan}} and {{p|Blastoise}} were already knocked out by the time Ash and company arrived to watch his battle. Tyson was able to defeat Johnny when Sceptile successfully used {{m|Solar Beam}} on Aggron.

He then watched the six-on-six battle between Ash and his opponent, {{ho|Katie}}.

Tyson defeated his opponent's {{p|Rhydon}} with Meowth in ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'' after Ash defeated Katie.

He battled Ash in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'' and ''[[AG131|At The End of the Fray!]]''. Tyson was a very tough foe for Ash as both sides were down to their last Pokémon, Pikachu and Meowth respectively. After a long battle, both sides were having trouble standing up. However, Meowth emerged victorious when it was the only one standing. Tyson congratulated Ash for a good battle. Tyson then went on to the finals and ended up winning the [[Hoenn]] League, having the chance to battle the Hoenn [[Elite Four]].

After the Ever Grande Conference, he said goodbye to Ash and his friends as he left [[Ever Grande City]].

Ash's Snorlax

'''Ash's Snorlax''' (Japanese: '''サトシのカビゴン''' ''Satoshi's Kabigon'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

==History==
===Original series===
====Orange Islands====
[[File:Ash Snorlax debut.png|thumb|left|250px|Snorlax in its debut]]
[[File:Snorlax swimming.png|thumb|250px|Snorlax swimming "the blubberfly" between islands]]
During his travels in the Orange Islands in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', Ash arrived at the [[seven Grapefruit Islands]]. Here, they discovered a grapefruit orchard that was under attack by a {{p|Snorlax}} that was eating everything in sight. Once it became apparent that it was a strong swimmer, concerns arose that it would consume the islands' vegetation within days. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{Tracey}} and the [[Team Rocket trio]] attempted to take it down. However, Snorlax proved to be a highly defensive and very powerful battler, using {{m|Body Slam}} to flatten {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} easily. {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s attack resulted in Snorlax seizing the tongue and using it as a napkin, [[Misty's Goldeen]] was almost eaten, and attacks from [[Misty's Staryu]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] were barely felt. [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s attempts to put Snorlax to sleep (through deceit and hypnosis respectively), resulted in Snorlax sending them blasting off with a {{m|Mega Kick}}, but gave Ash and his friends the idea to lure {{an|Jigglypuff}} out to {{m|sing}} Snorlax to {{status|sleep}}. The plan succeeded and eventually managed to stop the Snorlax. This gave Ash and Pikachu the perfect opportunity to weaken it with {{m|Thunder}} and capture it whilst it was asleep.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Snorlax and the rest of Ash's Pokémon were sent out for lunch, and it promptly went to sleep. It woke up in time to attempt to devour the entire harvest of fruits Ash had gathered, but [[Tracey's Scyther]] warded it away. Once put to sleep by Jigglypuff, the group decided to let it sleep, and it once again awoke, devoured the entire plate of sandwiches that Tracey had prepared, and went back to sleep. Tracey noted that Snorlax was exercising far less and therefore ate far less, and Misty told Ash off for not really training it. It proved far too heavy for Team Rocket to steal, and this delayed them long enough for Ash to return and save the group.

In ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]'', Snorlax made his battle debut in stopping a giant {{p|Rhydon}}. After holding an even ground with the huge Pokémon, Snorlax used {{m|Mega Punch}} to send Rhydon flying.

In ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', Ash mistook his Poké Balls and sent out a sleeping Snorlax instead of {{AP|Charizard}} when fighting [[Gulzar]]. However, Snorlax's Poké Ball smashed on a rock and broke. Snorlax woke up in response to {{p|Gloom}}'s attacks and crushed it, before trying to eat its flowers. Ash tried to recall Snorlax, but the Poké Ball was damaged and would not work. This forced Ash to drag Snorlax over a mountain to the nearest Pokémon Center in order to get his Poké Ball fixed. After failed attempts to drag Snorlax on rollers and luring it with a real apple, Ash dresses as an apple and made Snorlax chase him all the way to the Pokémon Center. It came to the rescue when Team Rocket held the food supply for ransom, easily defeating a super-powered Meowth and then sending Team Rocket blasting off with its newly learned {{m|Hyper Beam}}. It then proceeded to eat all of the food itself.

Ash kept the Snorlax on his team for the remainder of his time in the Orange Islands, but could not use it in the finals due to the fact that it would not wake up and needed to be switched with one of Ash's {{AP|Tauros}}. After the tournament was won, Ash then decided to keep his Snorlax at Professor Oak's permanently because he could no longer feed it and only called upon its power in major battles.

====Johto====
Snorlax appeared in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', where it crowded into Ash's screen with {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Tauros}} and {{AP|Muk}} to wish him luck for his next Gym battle with [[Whitney]].
[[File:Ash Snorlax Raiden Feraligatr.png|thumb|250px|Knocking Raiden's Feraligatr out of the ring]]
Ash called upon it for the [[Sumo Conference]] in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', sending his {{AP|Noctowl}} back to Oak's lab to make room. Snorlax broke the weigh-in scales, and promptly fell asleep during the opening ceremony. Its enthusiasm skyrocketed when it heard the prize: a year's supply of Pokémon food. In the first round, it defeated a {{p|Poliwrath}} with no trouble, as the Tadpole Pokémon just bounced off Snorlax's stomach and fell out of the ring. Snorlax went running for the food, but Ash managed to recall it quickly. It also defeated a {{p|Machamp}} with no trouble, putting it into the final round with [[Raiden]]'s {{p|Feraligatr}}. This time, Snorlax went on the offensive, but Feraligatr dodged and Snorlax was left teetering on the edge of the ring. It showed amazing agility, and managed to repel Feraligatr's attack by exhaling and using its stomach to press it away. It was then thrown by Feraligatr, but landed in the ring with such an impact that the stadium shook and Feraligatr lost its balance. Snorlax pushed Feraligatr out of the ring and claimed the victory, devouring the entire year's worth of food in one go before falling asleep. Ash then returned Snorlax to Oak's lab.

In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Ash surprised his friends by sending out Snorlax in his rematch with [[Clair]]. It dove under water to dodge {{p|Kingdra}}'s Hyper Beam, and then jumped out of the water to avoid {{m|Hydro Pump}}. It alternated between dodging and enduring attacks to tire Kingdra out. Once again diving underwater to avoid Hyper Beam, Snorlax knocked Kingdra out with its newly learned {{m|Ice Punch}}. However, this battle exhausted Snorlax, and a {{m|Dragon Breath}} from Clair's {{p|Gyarados}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} it, before it was knocked out by Hyper Beam.

Snorlax was called up by Ash in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' for use in the [[Silver Conference]]. It shook off a {{m|Fire Spin}} from Gary's {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, and defeated it with Hyper Beam. It then fought his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, which had already defeated {{AP|Tauros}}. However, Nidoqueen proved no match for Snorlax; despite landing an airborne {{m|Double Kick}}, her {{m|Hyper Beam}} was countered with Ice Punch and defeated. However, Snorlax could not keep up with {{p|Scizor}}'s speed and was knocked out by a {{m|Metal Claw}} to the face.

Snorlax then fought during Ash's following match against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', although it was fast asleep when sent out to fight {{p|Hypno}}. It was awoken, obviously irritated and angry by {{m|Dream Eater}} and proceeded to scare Hypno, then quickly put Hypno down with Hyper Beam. Unaffected by {{p|Steelix}}'s {{m|Wrap}} attack, it defeated Steelix in the same way. However, it could not pull off a third Hyper Beam victory against {{TP|Harrison|Houndoom}}, who reflected it back onto Snorlax with {{m|Counter}} at double strength, knocking it out in one blow.

===Advanced Generation series===
====Hoenn====
In a special episode, Snorlax made a cameo appearance and was seen being awakened by the herd of {{AP|Tauros}}.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', Ash saw that Oak was feeding it [[Pokéblock]]s, and tried to call on Snorlax to battle a wild Snorlax. However, Oak informed him that Snorlax needed to wait between meals before battling.

When Ash returned from Hoenn in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], Snorlax befriended [[May's Munchlax]], and brought its power to bear against [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]], taking it down easily.

Later, Snorlax helped Ash earn the Guts Symbol from {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. [[Scott]] notes that Ash picked unusual types to battle the {{type|Fighting}} specialist Greta. However, Snorlax used {{m|Protect}} to absorb the blows from her {{p|Hariyama}}, and then took it down with an {{m|Ice Punch}}. Against her {{p|Medicham}}, Harden failed and it was hit hard by {{m|Focus Punch}}, which sent flying into Team Rocket. Once the battle was resumed, Snorlax was frozen by Ice Punch from Medicham, but used {{m|Rest}} to recover whilst Medicham smashed through the ice. It was then pummeled by a series of Focus Punches, until its fully charged Hyper Beam propelled it into the ceiling and it crushed Medicham with a powerful Body Slam, giving Ash the victory.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
It appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', alongside Ash's other Pokémon. It was not in its [[Poké Ball]], like many of Ash's other Pokémon, but was found eating food from a kitchen in a restaurant. It was later used in the battle against the [[Team Rocket trio]], but it was sleeping. Ash tried to wake up Snorlax, but it merely rolled over, tipping the Team Rocket mecha over in the process.

It was then seen in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' where it defeated a female Trainer's {{p|Grumpig}} with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}, helping Ash progress to the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

===Best Wishes series===
Snorlax was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Snorlax and Pikachu.png‎|thumb|250px|Snorlax showing Pikachu affection]]
Snorlax is very lazy, responding only to food or battle (and not always the latter). It is a powerhouse eater, able to consume a year's worth of food in one helping. Its hunger often overcomes common sense too, as it tried to eat both [[Misty's Goldeen]] and [[Gulzar]]'s {{p|Gloom}}, not recognizing them as Pokémon.

However, this appetite is mirrored in its unparalleled strength and fitness. It is a very strong swimmer and is deceptively agile, along with its hugely powerful physical moves. Snorlax's main advantage is its huge defensive capabilities, with very few attacks capable of inflicting damage.

Despite its laziness, Snorlax is a very affectionate Pokémon, and (when awake and focused) is very loyal to Ash. Its single-minded attitude towards food has subsided recently, shown in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' when it woke up purely because of Ash's presence. Typically, it would take a {{AP|Tauros}} stampede to wake it up in other situations at Oak's lab.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Snorlax EToP.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Snorlax in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Snorlax appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'s chapter ''[[ET15|Attack of the Demon Stomach]]''. Like in the anime, it was eating all the fruits from the seven Grapefruit Islands. As the workers tried to save as many fruits as possible, Ash tried to battle Snorlax with {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, but with no results. When Ash tried to save a grapefruit from being eaten by Snorlax, he almost got eaten himself, only to be saved by Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}. Once Snorlax had finished with one island, it made an enormous leap to another island. After Ash and {{an|Ruby}}'s many failed attempts to put Snorlax asleep, {{an|Jigglypuff}} appeared, and Ash made it {{m|sing}}, causing Snorlax to finally fall asleep. As Snorlax was sleeping, Ash was able to catch it with a Poké Ball.

Snorlax later made a brief appearance in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash sent it out amongst his other Pokémon during his dance match with [[Rudy]]. However, all Snorlax did was sleep. Snorlax wasn't seen in the manga after this chapter.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', Misty says, "That is if you can ever get ''him'' to wake up", but only in the dub. Another instance of gender confirmation in the dub was in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', when Professor Oak says "Snorlax's Hyper Beam was sent back to ''him'' at double the power."
* Snorlax is the only Pokémon Ash caught in the [[Orange Archipelago]] who he still possesses.
* Snorlax's Poké Ball is the only one of Ash's to break.

Arnold's mother

{{Unknown name}}
[[File:Arnolds mom hugs Ash.png|thumb|200px|Arnold's mother mistaking Ash for her lost son]]
[[File:Arnold.png|thumb|200px|Arnold reuniting with his mother]]
'''Arnold's mother''' (Japanese: '''ハジメの母親''' ''Hajime's mother'') is a [[character of the day]] from ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''.

Arnold's mother mistook {{Ash}} for her son, [[Arnold]]. She revealed that Arnold, like the other children, had disappeared three days before Ash and {{ashfr}} had arrived to [[HopHopHop Town]]. Unbeknownst to her, this was due to a {{p|Hypno}}'s {{m|Hypnosis|sleep waves}}, which were being used by socialites to treat {{a|Insomnia}} and as a novelty. The sleep waves had unintentionally affected a larger area than desired, and had brainwashed several children into believing they were various Pokémon. They all had gathered in the park, imitating the Pokémon they believed themselves to be, until Ash and his friends, upon discovering their location and the cause of their strange behavior, brought Hypno to the children. Hypno promptly undid the brainwashed behavior, and the children returned to normal and reunited with their parents, including Arnold.

'''Arnold''' (Japanese: '''ハジメ''' ''Hajime'') is a [[character of the day]] from the episode ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''. He is a [[doppelgänger]] of {{Ash}}, with the only differences being his clothing and hair color.

He was one of the children that became hypnotized by {{p|Hypno}}'s sleep waves, resulting in him becoming lost at the park. Luckily, {{p|Drowzee}}'s dream waves were able to wake him and the other children up. At the end of the episode, he was reunited with [[Arnold's mother|his mother]].

Damian

2015-01-16T18:49:24Z

GamerGeek:

[[File:Damian Best Wishes.png|thumb|250px|Damian, as seen in a flashback in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
'''Damian''' (Japanese: '''ダイスケ''' ''Daisuke'') was the original owner of [[Ash's Charmander]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Damian.png|thumb|250px|Damian in the {{series|original}}]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Damian is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''.

At a [[Pokémon Center]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} overheard Damian bragging about how many Pokémon he caught. He said that he left a Charmander in the nearby forest because it was too weak. {{an|Brock}} yelled at Damian and ordered him to reclaim his Charmander because it might die in the rain. Damian laughed it off and Ash was about to challenge him to a battle until [[Nurse Joy]] prevented the confrontation, saying that using Pokémon to settle arguments is wrong.

Brock and the others recovered Charmander and had it taken care of at the Pokémon Center. As soon as it felt better, Charmander left to wait for Damian once again.

{{TRT}} later tried to steal Pikachu, but Charmander chased them away with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. Ash asked Charmander to join them, but Damian showed up, having seen the fight, and said that he had purposely left Charmander alone to toughen it up. In fact, Damian was glad he didn't have to go through the trouble of raising Charmander himself. Damian ordered Charmander to return, but Charmander wanted to stay with Ash. Enraged, Damian tried to attack the group with his other Pokémon, but a combined attack from Charmander and Pikachu scared Damian away for good.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

When Ash and {{ashfr}} heard about this, they retrieved Charmander, saving it from a downpour. Later, after seeing how Charmander defeated {{TRT}}, Damian wanted Charmander to return to his team. However, witnessing Damian's purely selfish motivation, Charmander was unwilling to do this, and joined [[:Category:Ash's Pokémon|Ash's team]] instead.}}

He has many other Pokémon which were not shown.

Damian makes an appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, but with a much different, nicer personality. His Charmander had been left waiting for him for ten days, so a {{p|Squirtle}} convinced it and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to join him on a trip to the [[Hidden Village]].

There, Charmander was reunited with Damian. Damian had gone shopping when an accident put him in a coma. He thought Charmander would end up at the Hidden Village and came looking for him. The tearful reunion inspired Squirtle to seek out its Trainer.

Joe (EP009)

2015-01-16T18:24:51Z

GamerGeek:

'''Joe''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is a student of [[Pokémon Tech]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Joe.png|thumb|250px|Joe in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Joe is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were lost in a forest when they saw Joe, who was being quizzed on facts about {{p|Pidgey}} while being forced to run on a treadmill. Ash thought he was being bullied, so he chased the older children away. Joe explained that he was a student at [[Pokémon Tech]], a school that teaches students how to [[Pokémon training|train]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is on the bottom of the beginner class and the other kids were tutoring him before Ash showed up. Apparently, Joe actually knew everything about Pidgey and its evolutions, but he was pretending to be ignorant so he would not have to work harder. Ash demanded to know who was responsible for the "tutoring" program, and Joe showed him a picture of a pretty young girl named [[Giselle]]. It seemed that Joe had a crush on her, despite her harsh treatment.

Joe took Ash and his friends to the campus and showed them around. He explained that graduates of the school are allowed to compete in the [[Pokémon League]] without having to challenge [[Gym Leader]]s or collect [[Badge]]s. As a beginner, Joe had the skills of someone with about two Badges. He felt obligated to remain at Pokémon Tech because his parents paid so much to get him in. Joe then demonstrated some of the tools the school offered, such as a {{pkmn|battle}} simulator that appeared to resemble the {{pkmn|games}}. {{an|Misty}} was annoyed by this, thinking that the simulation could not make up for the real thing, and proved this by defeating Joe in a battle, with Joe using his Weepinbell and Misty using her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, despite the {{type|Water}} disadvantage on her part versus a {{type|Grass}}.

After witnessing [[Ash's Pikachu]] defeat Giselle's {{p|Cubone}}, Joe was finally convinced that he should leave Pokémon Tech, deciding to try to collect Badges instead. He and Giselle bid farewell, promising to meet again some day.

Giselle

2015-01-16T18:12:40Z

GamerGeek: There are a few other younger girls who Brock fell for (i.e. Solana).

'''Giselle''' (Japanese: '''優藤聖代''' ''Seiyo Yūtō'') is a student of [[Pokémon Tech]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Giselle.png|thumb|175px|Giselle in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Giselle is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.

Giselle confronted and belittled {{ka|Joe}} after a recent loss against {{an|Misty}}. During her talk with Joe, it became apparent that Giselle is a bully who cared very little for young, inexperienced Trainers. Misty angrily challenged Giselle to a {{pkmn|battle}}, to which the latter agreed to. Giselle defeated [[Misty's Starmie]] with a {{p|Graveler}}, despite the type disadvantage. After taunting the young [[Gym Leader]], Giselle then started to lecture her fellow students.

Now {{Ash}} got angry and argued that [[Pokémon training]] was more than types and levels - one needs to be friends with them, too. Giselle laughed haughtily and called Ash a beginner. She teased him about having been on a journey for two months and only having two [[Badge]]s and three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She then proceeded to note that Pikachu are an awful choice for a [[starter Pokémon]], and that they're more fitting as pets for little girls. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were extremely insulted and angered, and challenged Giselle to a battle.

Giselle used a {{p|Cubone}}. Without being able to use {{type|Electric}} moves, Ash told Pikachu to fight back in any way it could. Pikachu then began to attack Cubone with a series of random physical attacks such as biting and scratching. Eventually, Pikachu covered Cubone's eyes with its own skull helmet and Cubone ended up knocking itself out with its own {{m|Bonemerang}} attack. Giselle was shocked by the defeat and admitted that people can't learn through books alone.

{{TRT}} then tried to raid the school, but Giselle led the charge against them and got all the students to assist in chasing the criminals away. Joe and Giselle reconciled, and Joe left the school to collect Badges for the [[Pokémon League]].

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Giselle's Pokémon in the anime:

None of Graveler's moves are known.}}

Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} attacks failed to hurt the {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, and it used Leer. Pikachu responded by staring Cubone down, but Cubone used Bone Club and Bonemerang. Eventually Pikachu covered Cubone's eyes with its own skull helmet and Cubone ended up knocking itself out with its own attack.

Cubone's known moves are {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Bone Club}}, and {{m|Bonemerang}}.}}

A.J.

2015-01-16T17:42:07Z

GamerGeek:

'''A.J.''' (Japanese: '''アキラ''' ''Akira'') is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who lives between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]]. His dream is to become a [[Pokémon Master]] with the help of his favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}. He ran an unofficial [[Gym]] which was not sponsored by the [[Pokémon League]] and therefore did not give out any [[Badge]]s.

==In the anime==
[[File:AJ.png|thumb|250px|A.J. in the anime]]
A.J. was the [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

In this episode, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} were on their way to Vermilion City, when they heard about a local Trainer who was undefeated. Ash, eager to challenge this Trainer, went to A.J.'s Gym and saw a sign above it announcing that A.J. had been undefeated through 98 matches. A.J. returned to the Gym after catching some wild Pokémon. Ash then challenged him to battle number 99.

Ash began to say how he thought low about a person with 98 victories but without a Gym Badge. A.J. responded with saying that he wasn't planning on challenging a Gym Leader until he had 100 wins in a row. Ash bragged about the two Badges he had at the time just with ten victories, and A.J. insulted him and said he must have gotten them from weak Gym Leaders, which angered both Brock and Misty. A.J. defeated Ash with his {{p|Sandshrew}} without much effort, causing Ash to complain and accuse A.J. of cheating.

As the group was about to leave, they looked inside the Gym, and they saw A.J. using a whip to send his Sandshrew diving into a pool. Ash attacked A.J., thinking that he was torturing his Pokémon. A.J. then explained that he was strengthening his Sandshrew's resistance against water. Sandshrew and all of A.J.'s other Pokémon were wearing {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}s to intensify their strength. He also had all of his Pokémon exercise in rigorous routines. Ash complained about A.J. treating his Pokémon too harshly, and asked Brock and Misty to back him up. However, instead Brock complimented A.J. on the specialized {{Pkmn|food}} he prepares for his Pokémon.

[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} then tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but ended up accidentally taking Sandshrew instead. Not knowing what had happened, Ash guessed that Sandshrew had run away, and offered A.J.'s other Pokémon spots on his [[party|team]], but they ignored him. Sandshrew escaped from {{TRT}} by using {{m|Dig}}, accidentally bringing Meowth along with him. After A.J.'s Sandshrew came back, he challenged Team Rocket to a battle, and his Sandshrew defeated Team Rocket, winning A.J. the final victory needed to set off and collect Gym Badges.

After A.J. and Sandshrew had been happily reunited, Ash realized that A.J. cared deeply for his Pokémon, despite being tough on them during training.

A.J. made another appearance in a flashback sequence of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] opening song {{so|Pokémon World}}. He and his Sandshrew appear with a group of other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s Ash encountered during his [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first trip]] through [[Kanto]].

Ash decided to challenge A.J. after hearing this. A.J. had a battle with Ash and sent out his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, which was easily defeated by Sandshrew. Next Ash called out his {{AP|Butterfree}} and went for a {{m|Stun Spore}}. A.J. whipped Sandshrew and told it to use {{m|Dig}}, avoiding Butterfree's Stun Spore. It jumped out and defeated Butterfree. Ash wanted {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle, but it refused, giving A.J. the win.

It was then seen training in A.J.'s Gym wearing what A.J. called a "strength intensifier" and using the pool. It was then accidentally captured by {{TRT}} but was able to make its way back using Dig. It then had a battle against Team Rocket with {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}. It was able to dodge Koffing and entangle Ekans, then finished them off by using {{m|Fissure}}.

Sandshrew made a cameo with A.J. in the opening ''{{so|Pokémon World}}''.

Sandshrew's known moves are {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Defense Curl}}, and {{m|Fissure}}.}}

A.J. makes a cameo appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. In the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he, along with [[Samurai]], {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make plans to find the [[Hidden Village]], where powerful wild Pokémon supposedly live. A.J. is particularly interested in high-[[level]]ed Pokémon such as {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Venusaur}}. He and Samurai are separated from Ash and Brock when {{AP|Pikachu}} goes missing.

A.J. appears to be a little older in the manga compared to his anime appearance.

==In the games==
[[File:AJ Yellow.png|thumb|A.J. in {{game|Yellow}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, a game based on the anime, there is a {{tc|Youngster}} on {{rt|9|Kanto}}. This Trainer solely uses a level 24 {{p|Sandshrew}} that has the move {{m|Fissure}}, much like A.J.'s Sandshrew in the anime. After the player wins the battle, he says, "I'll restart my 100-win streak with Sandshrew," a reference to the fact that A.J. won 100 battles. This Trainer may be A.J., or a reference to him. In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, this Trainer is originally a {{tc|Camper|Jr. Trainer♂}}, has a {{p|Growlithe}} and a {{p|Charmander}}, and says, "Keep walking!" after being defeated.

==Trivia==
* A.J. bears an uncanny resemblance to both the official Generation I artwork for the Cooltrainer, as well as the Generation I sprite for the Cooltrainer. The significance of this resemblance is unknown.
* A.J.'s Sandshrew used Defense Curl, despite that Sandshrew [[Anime move errors|couldn't learn it]] until [[Generation II|the next generation]] in the games.

Seymour

2015-01-16T17:30:15Z

GamerGeek:

[[File:Seymour.png|thumb|250px|Seymour]]
'''Seymour''' (Japanese: '''リカオ''' ''Rikao'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. He is a scientist who lives on [[Mt. Moon]] with the various {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} saw Seymour being attacked by a group of {{p|Zubat}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} saved Seymour by scaring the Zubat away, which Seymour was thankful for. He explained to Ash and his friends that he was on Mt. Moon to investigate why the Pokémon there were behaving strangely. After discovering it was a {{TRT}} scheme, the trio were sent away, and Ash's group began to follow a Clefairy.

Seymour revealed his theory that the Clefairy came from space in a shuttle created from a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. After witnessing several Clefairy evolve into Clefable with fragments from a giant Moon Stone, Seymour decided to live on Mt. Moon with the Clefairy.

In the Japanese version, Seymour is from [[Pewter City]] and works for the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. Instead of reciting poetry, he is enchanted by the romantic aspects of the moon. His name is a play on 理科 ''rika'', which means "science."

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''.

Seymour often enjoys talking in rhymes, such as "we've studied its fragments for many an hour, and discovered it increases a Pokémon's power."

Samurai

2015-01-16T17:20:35Z

GamerGeek:

[[File:Samurai.png|thumb|250px|Samurai]]
'''Samurai''' (Japanese: '''サムライ''' ''Samurai'') is a young boy who lives in [[Viridian Forest]] and dresses up in {{wp|samurai}} armor. He specializes in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and carries around a sword and a bug-catching net. He appears to have been inspired by the {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s in the [[Pokémon games]].

He is the very first [[character of the day]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} and the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{Ash}} had a fair {{pkmn|battle}} against.

==In the anime==
Samurai appeared in the episode ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. Ash and {{an|Misty}} were traveling through Viridian Forest, and Ash intended to catch more Pokémon. He was just about to catch a {{p|Weedle}} when Samurai jumped out of the bushes and threatened him with his sword, demanding to know if Ash was from [[Pallet Town]]. Samurai challenged Ash to a battle, having already lost to {{Gary}} and the other two Trainers from Pallet.

In the confusion caused by Samurai's yelling and sword-waving, the Weedle escaped. Samurai insulted Ash, saying that he is a "bad Trainer". Because of this, they started a battle. Samurai's powerful {{p|Pinsir}} knocked out [[Ash's Pidgeotto]], but [[Ash's Metapod]] used {{m|Harden}} to damage Pinsir's pincers. Samurai sent out his own Metapod, and the two Pokémon, being unable of using any move besides Harden, were locked in a complete stalemate for hours.

Their match was interrupted by a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm, apparently angered by Ash's attack of the Weedle earlier. The Beedrill snatched Ash's Metapod and flew off. The trio hid in Samurai's cabin, where the boy continued to berate and insult Ash, saying that Ash was not a good Trainer to his Pokémon because he didn't go to rescue his Metapod when the Beedrill attacked.

Samurai eventually gained respect for Ash when he used his newly [[Evolution|evolved]] Butterfree to put the Beedrill to sleep by using {{m|Sleep Powder}} and reunited with his Pokémon.

At the end of the episode, Ash, Misty, and Samurai say good-bye, and the two boys say that they will battle again some day.

He reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' and ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''.

He made a cameo appearance with his Pinsir in the second opening theme, ''[[The Rivals]]'', and its English dub counterpart, ''{{so|Pokémon World}}''.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Samurai's known Pokémon:

|desc={{p|Pinsir}} was the first Pokémon Samurai used in his match against Ash. It was able to defeat {{AP|Pidgeotto}} easily with a Tackle (though Pidgeotto was already weakened from its battle directly before with a wild Weedle), but when it tried to break [[Ash's Metapod]] in half with its pincers, Metapod used {{m|Harden}} and the attack backfired.

Through flashback, it is known that Samurai also used Pinsir to battle the {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} that {{an|Professor Oak}} gave to the other Trainers from [[Pallet Town]], and lost.

Pinsir's only known move is {{m|Tackle}}{{tt|*|Pinsir cannot legally learn Tackle in the games}}.}}

Metapod's only known move is {{m|Harden}}.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Drake anime.png|thumb|250px|Drake in the anime]]
Drake appeared in the episode ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''.

Drake is a ship captain, and has an entire crew under his command. His first-mate is [[Fitzwilliam]]. After witnessing {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Torkoal}} defeating another Trainer's {{p|Scizor}}, Drake meets Ash and {{ashfr}} at a restaurant and invites them to his ship. Once on board, [[Max]] asks Drake to show them his Pokémon, and Drake invites Ash to have a Pokémon battle with him instead. Drake wins the match easily, helping Ash realize that he had been overconfident recently. When {{TRT}} tries to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} again after the battle, Drake blasts them off with his {{p|Salamence}}.

After Ash takes his Pokémon to the [[Pokémon Center]], Drake also invites the gang to dine on his ship. During the meal, Drake tells Ash that he too once got overconfident and lost many battles because of it.

|desc={{p|Shelgon}} is the first Pokémon Drake used to battle Ash. Ash thought {{AP|Pikachu}}'s speed and powerful attacks would beat the slow Endurance Pokémon, but he did not take into account Shelgon's high defense. Drake's strategy was to calculate the damage from Ash's attack and wait until Pikachu was close enough (trying to use {{m|Iron Tail}} to finish off Shelgon) before he attacked with a powerful Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw combo, winning the round.

Shelgon's known moves are {{m|Double-Edge}}, {{m|Dragon Breath}}, and {{m|Dragon Claw}}.}}

Altaria's known moves are {{m|Take Down}}, {{m|Dragon Breath}}, {{m|Sky Attack}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and {{m|Solar Beam}}.}}

Drake is one of the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] members. He, along with [[Sidney]], controlled a {{p|Regirock}}, acquired from the [[Desert Ruins]], which helped in the battle between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. This Regirock, however, fled from their control when {{Steven}} died from the stress of coercing the combined efforts of the Elite Four, Wallace, and himself, together with the other two Regis.

==Events==

===Pre-order distribution===
In Japan, players could receive a [[List of Japanese region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Wonderland Darkrai|Darkrai]] via a serial code, after purchasing a pre-order ticket at a [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center store]] as well as other retail stores from April 19 to July 19, 2014. Players had until September 30, 2014 to redeem their code. The serial code only worked on Japanese region games.

===Movie distributions===
[[File:M17 Diancie distribution artwork.png|150px|right|thumb|Diancie distribution artwork]]
In Japan, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Movie Diancie|Diancie]] was distributed at theaters which screen the movie across Japan, which occurred from July 19 to September 30, 2014. It also was distributed at a pre-showing of the movie on July 6, 2014, which was only open to select people. Like all other local Generation VI events, this event was not region-locked; any player regardless of region and language were able to receive Diancie.

==Trivia==
* Director Kunihiko Yuyama traveled to {{pmin|Canada}} to scout out locations for the settings of this film.
* This is the first movie to have its dub title revealed before its Japanese release.
* This movie has more human antagonists than any other movie, with four.
* While other movies have featured in-person cameos of [[Champion]]s and [[Frontier Brain]]s, this is the first film that features an in-person cameo of an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Had ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'' not been delayed from airing, this movie would have featured the first appearance of [[Ash's Hawlucha]], as the [[XY035|episode where it was caught]] would not have aired until after the movie's release.
** [[Ash's Fletchinder]] makes a cameo appearance in this movie despite having not evolved from {{AP|Fletchling}} before the movie's release.
* This is the first movie in which Ash and his friends encounter Team Rocket since ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', which also aired on July 19th, coincidentally.
** This is also the first movie to feature Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth Balloon]] since its design changes in the {{series|Best Wishes!}}.

===Dub edits===
* Similar to the first three Pokémon movies, the vast majority of the film's soundtrack has been rescored with dub-exclusive music.
* In the initial television airing of this film, the following edits are made:
** Extensive scene cutting to shorten the film's runtime.
** The opening theme song does not have any lyrics, and the scenes featured during it are fully voiced.

'''Ninja Riot''' (Japanese: '''ニンジャ·ライオット''' ''Ninja Riot'') is one of the antagonists of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. He is a ninja and thief who works against his rivals [[Marilyn Flame]], [[Argus Steel]] and [[Millis Steel]] to acquire a fortune through {{an|Diancie}}'s power to create diamonds.

==History==
[[File:M17 Riot unmasked.png|thumb|left|250px|Riot without his mask]]
Riot appeared pursuing {{an|Diancie}} as it searched for {{mov|Xerneas|Xerneas|17}}. After it received the power of the {{a|Fairy Aura}} from Xerneas, Riot and Marilyn attacked in the [[Alearth Woods]]. However, {{mov|Yveltal|Yveltal|17}} was awakened by the fighting and went on a rampage, during which Riot's {{p|Greninja}} and {{p|Ninjask}} were turned to stone by {{m|Oblivion Wing}}. He later found Marilyn crying over the loss of her {{p|Delphox}} and {{p|Yanmega}} to Yveltal. Having a change of heart, he removed his mask and offered comfort to her. Just as she accepted his affection, however, Yveltal aimed Oblivion Wing at them, and they embraced shortly before being killed as well. Later, the two of them were revived by Xerneas with the Fairy Aura.

In the credits of the film, Riot — now dressed formally — visited the clothing shop where Marilyn had gotten work and proposed marriage to her.

==History==
Argus appeared tracking Diancie's quest to find {{mov|Xerneas|Xerneas|17}} and acquire the {{a|Fairy Aura}} from his airship. He and his daughter attacked Diancie once it had accomplished its goal, hoping to use its newfound power of diamond creation to acquire a fortune.

They were later revived by Xerneas after the crisis had ended.

In the credits of the movie, Argus opens his own chocolate shop that he operates with Millis.
