'''Masquerain''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アメモース''' ''Amemoth'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Surskit}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
Masquerain is a light blue Pokémon with two pairs of rhombus-shaped wings on each side of its body. Its head is shaped like an elongated teardrop with a pink face and round, black eyes. On either side of its head is a large, antenna that resembles an angry eye. The antennae are white with pink along the lower rim. White lines along the rim resemble eyelashes, while a large, dark pink dot in the middle represents the pupil or iris. These eyespots are used to intimidate enemies.

Masquerain's four wings allow it to fly in any direction and hover, but it cannot fly when its wings are wet. Additionally, rainy weather causes its antennae to become heavy and droop. In order to protect its wings and antennae, this Pokémon will shelter under trees or the eaves of houses. Masquerain lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge.}}

===Origin===
Masquerain is based on insects (especially moths) with {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} used to frighten would-be predators. Its head is shaped like a raindrop, making it similar to some {{wp|Fulgoridae|lanternflies}}, and its flight is similar to that of a {{wp|damselfly}}.

====Name origin====
Masquerain is a combination of ''masquerade'' (a disguise) and ''rain''.

Amemoth is a combination of 雨 ''ame'' (rain) and ''{{wp|moth}}''.

'''Vivillon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビビヨン''' ''Viviyon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spewpa}} starting at [[level]] 12. It is the final form of {{p|Scatterbug}}.

Vivillon's [[Form differences#Vivillon|wing pattern]] depends on the real-world geographic location set on the game the Pokémon was generated in. There are a total of 20 known patterns.

==Biology==
Vivillon is a butterfly-like Pokémon with wings that come in a large variety of patterns. Vivillon's thorax is an elliptical shape divided into three segments, each with a different shade of gray. Its legs are also elliptical which are black on the lower half and grayish on the upper half. Vivillon has two black, circular hands and no visible arms. It has a round, grayish head with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antenna. It can spread its scales to calm an opponent's fighting spirit, as shown in the [[XY012|anime]]. Its wings' pattern is affected by the climate in which it lives.

===Origin===
Vivillon is based on a butterfly. Considering the many different varieties of Vivillon that differ depending on the player's geographic location, Vivillon may have been based on {{wp|divergent evolution}} or possibly species {{wp|mimicry}}. Its blocky wing patterns may be based on {{wp|pixel art}}.

====Name origin====
Vivillon may be a combination of ''vivid'' and ''papillon'' (French for butterfly).

Viviyon may be a combination of 美 ''bi'' (beauty), ''vivid'', and ''papillon''.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I|first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]."

{{spoilers}}

==In the anime==
{{cleanup|section}}
===Character===
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]].

One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

===History===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash enrolled in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp when he was young. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.

Years later, Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing Spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|190px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in five [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.

[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.

Ash has also participated in {{pkmn|Contest}}s. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a [[Ribbon]] he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the second stage of the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]].

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

[[File:Ash BW.png|thumb|left|165px|Ash in {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In [[Unova]], he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, Ash also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]] and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, he failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he didn't feel bad for seeing his friends winning the awards. After managing to obtain the Unova Badges he was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, he battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival [[Stephan]]. He then battled one of his recent rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', making it to the top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

In the {{series|XY}}, Ash traveled to the [[Kalos]] region with [[Alexa]], whom he met while traveling in the [[Decolore Islands]]. He first visited [[Lumiose City]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where he parted ways with Alexa and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower, only to be forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, who started to travel with him after he calmed down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at the top of Prism Tower. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the [[Bug Badge]], after defeating the [[Santalune Gym|Santalune Gym Leader]] [[Viola]]. The group was also joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her own journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', Ash learned that Clemont is the Lumiose City [[Gym Leader]]. Although initially angry that his friend would keep such a secret from him, he quickly forgave Clemont and encouraged him to take back the Gym from the Clembot, the robot that had taken over the Gym and ejected him when he tried to challenge it. Even though the badge requirement ceased to be an issue after this, he still decided not to challenge the Gym until he had four badges and decided that his opponent would be Clemont rather than the Clembot.

===Family===
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. [[File:Ash with his Pokémon.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his Pokémon as of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' (except for {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Primeape}}) at Professor Oak's lab]]An interview with the series' storyboarder [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s novelization, Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born, and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown.

===Pokémon===

As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===
[[File:Ash Ketchum PDP.png|thumb|150px|right|Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}]]
Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} appear as main characters alongside {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in the {{pkmn|manga}} series {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}, an adaptation of the anime set in the timeline of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Ghost}}, or {{t|Fairy}} types.
** This excludes both his unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a {{2t|Ghost|Poison}}-type, and in ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, where he caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a {{2t|Water|Psychic}}-type.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (when Brock calls him a "human {{p|Aipom}}"). Ash's climbing ability has also been shown in several episodes throughout the series, such as ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try to save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.
* Ash has lost a match against every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has faced: [[Whitney]] in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', [[Lenora]] in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora]]'', and [[Cheren]] in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''.

Jaylop91: /* English Airdate */ new section

==Psyshock==

Hi guys, I think it would be ok to reveal this move as there is no other choice. The move was a Grayish color and as we saw from Delphox, Will O Wisp is a blueish purple color. The only other orb like move Fennekin can learn is Hidden Power but that is green in color.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 07:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
:Since there was no command given, we have no idea of knowing what the move is. We also cannot assume or speculate as they may turn out to be wrong. If Serena commands Fennekin to use the move again in a future episode, it will then be added. But for now, we leave it as is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:29, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Actually now it can't even be Hidden Power either as we have seen that in XY too. A wild Vespiqueen used it. Honestly the only option that leaves is Psyshock. [[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 22:40, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
:There ''is'' another option. Wait until Fennekin uses it again [in a future episode] with Serena's command.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:14, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
::Could you be so nice and tell us what move is it that you're thinking about? Because I cannot see Fennekin being capable of learning any other moves fitting to the portrayal of the move seen in this episode, either. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:10, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
:::There is also another possibility: that the move is an anime move error. It's unlikely, but the possibility is there. XY020 had a Fletchling using FeatherDance. Besides that, if we'd decide to put it as Psyshock based on assumptions alone, then we could go on and assume a lot more, and I personally don't think that's a good idea.

== English Airdate ==

According to this (http://www.toonzone.net/forums/cartoon-network-cartoon-forum/315827-cartoon-network-june-2014-premiere-info.html) shows the airdates for this episode through the gym battle with Grant episode but does this count as a source. (Jaylop91)

==Blurb==

Some nasty weather sends both our heroes and Team Rocket into what appears to be an abandoned mansion. But once inside, they can’t figure out how to leave! Both groups point fingers at each other, but there may be a more interesting—and melancholy—reason they’re trapped in this old house!

==Plot==
Thunder flashes and rain falls on an old mansion; inside, a painting shows an old woman wearing a green pendant. Outside the mansion, {{Ash}} and his companions are getting soaked. The run for cover underneath the mansion's porch. A thunder bolt frightens {{an|Bonnie}} and sends her reeling back into the door, which creaks open, and Ash suggests the group take shelter inside. Bonnie runs in and yells hello ,but no one answers, even after {{an|Clemont}} politely knocks. What they don't notice is that watching them from on the top of the stairs is an {{p|Espurr}}, with the green pendant around its neck. After several more unanswered calls, the group deduces the mansion is probably uninhabited. Bonnie suggests that they stay for the night, and the others reluctantly agree.

Clemont insists the others (except Bonnie) are scared only because it is dark, and goes to turn on the lights. The chandelier lights up and the others thank him, but he tells them that it wasn't him who turned the light on. As the others wonder nervously, Clemont hurriedly attempts to justify the occurrence by saying that there must be sensors that can detect human presence. The group attempts to laugh it off, but {{an|Serena}} suggests the place is cursed, Ash quickly loses his confidence and suggests that maybe they should take shelter outside after all. Just as Clemont agrees, the door shuts and locks behind them. Clemont again uses science to explain what happened, but when Serena mentions that a monster might live in the mansion, he decides to look for a way out, saying he can't trust "what is not scientifically proven." Ash agrees and the group begins to look for an exit.

Outside, {{TRT}} runs to get out of the rain and come to the mansion, and [[Jessie]] decides it looks like a good rain shelter, though [[James]] is hesitant. Jessie knocks on one of the back doors and after James expresses his doubts, Jessie says that the mansion will be perfect as a front line base for them in the [[Kalos]] region. A window opens wide after the door won't budge, and {{MTR}} and James follow Jessie inside. Jessie, like the children, guesses that the house is vacant, and the window they came from closes behind them. As Jessie wonders where the light switch is, the light turns on. James thanks Meowth, but Meowth insists it wasn't him, and that the mansion must be automated. James has a bad feeling about it, so he tries to secure their exit back through the window, but it has locked.

In another room the travelers scream and fall over as lightning illuminates the painting of the old woman portrait, except for Bonnie, who tells them it's only a portrait. Ash wonders if the lady pictured is the owner of the mansion, and Serena scares them all again by suggesting that the lady is already dead. Back in the window room,Team Rocket hear their screams and James bangs on the window, trying to get out. Ash and his friends here the knocking. Again, when Clemont tries to apply reason to the sound, saying that it must be an antique clock telling them the time, Serena wonders if it is the sound of Dracula driving a stake into someone, saying "what's with me today!?" In the portrait room, Team Rocket is frightened by the same painting of the old woman. Ash's group hears their screams and there is no denying it.

Team Rocket inches along, trying to find an exit. At the end of a hallway they're passing, they see three glowing circles of light. It is Espurr, playing with a floating ball with its psychic powers. It sends the ball flying towards Team Rocket, who take off down the hallway in fear. Ash and his friends again hear the ruckus and are about to find an exit when they too see Espurr floating down the hallway. Bonnie runs after it,and the others have no choice but to follow her. Clemont, Ash, and Serena round a corner where Bonnie had turned only to find a dead end and no one in sight; their calls are heard by Team Rocket, who are convinced it is the dead spirits inhabiting the house. Serena, Ash, and Clemont are looking for Bonnie when Clemont lets out a yell: he has figured out that there is probably a physic Pokémon in the house. That would then explain the lights and doors shutting, and the thing that Bonnie followed was probably it. The only question was why the Pokémon wouldn't let them out.

In a room with alone with Espurr, Bonnie says hello and asks the Pokémon who it is and how it came to live in the mansion. Espurr floats the ball to Bonnie,who throws it back, and soon they are playing. On top of Bonnie's head, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} attempts to catch the ball, but tumbles, and Bonnie falls forward to try and catch it. Before she hits the ground, Espurr uses its psychic powers to suspend her right before the floor and float her back into a standing position. Bonnie realizes that Espurr turned off the lights and shut the doors. When she asks why, Espurr leads her to a playroom, where Bonnie and Espurr play together.

Looking for Bonnie, Ash and his friends follow a sound. They burst in on Team Rocket, who are wrapped in sheets and stammering as they try to deliver their speech. The travelers accuse Team Rocket of making the mysterious things occur and taking Bonnie, but Team Rocket denies it and just wants to get out of the mansion. Just then, they all hear a crash above them and Team Rocket, frightened, runs off. Serena, Clemont, and Ash go and check if the sound can trace them to Bonnie. In reality, the crash was the sound of a rocking horse falling over in the playroom. Dedenne asks Espurr about the green pendant it wears, and Espurr leads them to the room with the old lady's portrait; pointing out that the pendants are the same. Ash and company hear the conversation and rush in the room and find Eureka, who shows them Espurr. She explains Espurr has been trying to tell her something the whole time, but she doesn't get it. Team Rocket comes in and offers Meowth as a translator. Espurr tells the group that it wants to give the pendant back to the old lady because it owes a lot to her. The old lady had given Espurr food, a ball,and had played many games together.One day, the old lady gave Espurr the pendant. When Espurr returns to play, he finds the mansion empty. It asks where has the old lady gone. The others don't know, but Clemont decides to do some research.Team Rocket, however, don't have time for any of it, and decide that the best way to get rid of Espurr is to capture it.

The two send out {{TP|James|Inkay}} and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}, Pumpkaboo ties Espurr up and drains its energy with {{m|Leech Seed}}, and Inkay follows up with {{m|Psybeam}}, straight towards Espurr, Ash, and his friends. Espurr uses {{m|Protect}} and stops the attack, also breaking its own bonds. It picks up Team Rocket with its psychic powers, and blasts them off, but Team Rocket are happy to have finally escaped the mansion.

In the morning, the rain has cleared and a car pulls up to the mansion. Ash and others promise o find the old lady as a woman comes into the room, asking if they meant Grandma [[Lacy]]. The woman introduces herself as [[Elise]]. She explains that Grandma Lacy has passed away and turns away. Espurr floats the pendant over to her. Elise reveals that they have decided to destroy the mansion and that she came to do a checkup. However, meeting Espurr has changed her mind, and she decides to renovate instead. She promises to hang up the portrait of Grandma Lacy ad play with Espurr, too, when she moves into the mansion. She offers to take Espurr to Grandma Lacy's grave to pay its final respects. Elise's car drives away as Ash and his friends wave goodbye. On their way to the graveyard, Elise gives the pendant back to Espurr, and the two become fast friends.

==They did appear==

Even if it was from far away and didn't focus on them. Tranquill (Ash's), Oshawott (Ash's), and Pansage (Cilan's) did show up in the episode. There is pictorial proof. Just find the pictures of the VERY opening scenes to this episode (the cold opening). You should see the Pokemon eating. If you get to Tepig and Axew playing and then finding Meowth you went to far. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 03:19, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

[[File:Cadbury.png|thumb|250px|Cadbury]]

'''Cadbury''' (Japanese: '''クワトロ''' ''Quattro'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[BW126|Crowning the Scalchop King!]]''.

Cadbury was a competitor of the [[Scalchop King Competition]] on [[Scalchop Island]]. He met {{Ash}} when his {{p|Dewott}}, Caesar, developed a rivalry with {{AP|Oshawott}} due to the fact that they both were in love with Osharina, the queen {{p|Oshawott}} of the island. During the tournament, he was able to challenge Ash in the final round after the other competitors were eliminated. There, his Dewott lost to Ash's Oshawott. Despite Cadbury's loss in the tournament, Osharina showed a love interest in Caesar which made Ash's Oshawott sad and heartbroken, causing his scalchop to break and Ash himself to lose his winning spot in the tournament.

Lotus

2013-11-10T02:46:23Z

Jaylop91: /* Intro */

[[File:Lotus.png|thumb|250px|Lotus]]
'''Lotus''' (Japanese: '''ロータス''' ''Lotus'') is a [[character of the day]] in ''[[BW132|Searching for a Wish!]].'' She is the mother of [[Gemma]] and lives with her in a valley on [[Capacia Island]] in the [[Decolore Islands]].

Lotus first appeared treating Gemma when she injured her ankle trying to climb up a mountain, in pursuit of Jirachi. When Gemma told of her yearn for Jirachi to grant her wish, she explained to Ash and {{ashfr}} that the valley they live in wasn't always as dry as it now was. It was once a fertile, vibrant land with a lot of vegetation. However, the climate grew hotter, and this caused the land to dry up. All of their neighbors moved away, including her husband, [[Carlton]], who was very depressed about the loss of their garden. Though she told her daughter that finding Jirachi is not an easy task as it is very shy to humans, Lotus was supportive of her daughter's idea to have Jirachi, who often resides in the valley, to restore it to the vibrant land it once was. Day after day, she attempted to regrow her garden, but with no luck. When Jirachi granted Gemma's wish and the land was restored, however, her replanted garden began to grow. In addition, she and Gemma were reunited with Carlton.

Jaylop91: /* Relatives? */

== Relatives?==

* Should it be mentioned that Iris is the only of Ash's main female companions to have no known relatives. {{unsigned|Jaylop91}}

== infobox ==

Hey, I was wondering if we could decide of a color for Iris' infobox here? I have a few ideas in mind:

These are just a couple suggestions (the top right hand one is the one that's on the page now and the top centered one is the one I had originally had on the page.) What do you guys think? Any other suggestions? We have lots of time to decide, but we should try to get an agreement on a color design. Personally, I love the top left hand one and the top centered one. I kind of dislike the top right hand one (the colors don't match well in my opinion). The bottom two I'm kinda mutual about. Thoughts?--[[User:Skystar|Skystar]] 14:17, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
:Maybe a black and white one, considering it is based on the black and white games? [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 14:21, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

==Trivia==
Should it be mentioned that she's the first female companion since Misty to not be based on one of the games' female player characters? --[[User:Goldenpelt|Goldenpelt]] 02:28, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

sounds true

and we might as well add that she's the only anime only female travelling companion too

unless that statement of her being a game character along with Dento is true... [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:41, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Dento, I'd believe, but we haven't seen any Sugimori artwork of Iris, have we? --[[User:Goldenpelt|Goldenpelt]] 02:57, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== "Iris" ==

Other than the direct assumption that "アイリス" is the English word "Iris", "Airisu" is a girl's name that exists in Japanese. It may not be common but 愛麗子, 愛梨子, and 愛里酢 are all "Airisu", much like Kasumi, Haruka, and Hikari are all girls' names in Japan. Is there a source that names her as "Iris" rather than "Airisu"? -[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 20:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
:This is still Western name "Iris" but with fail Kanji assigned to it. There are dozen of Kanji spellings for name "Maria", but it doesn't make it a traditional Japanese name. Also, I don't get what's with these "sources" lately. Really, what the hell? What kind of "source" would you expect to confirm a romanization of a character? Also, if you want to know why her name can't be derived from Japanese, then just look at her closely. She really doesn't look like a typical Japanese character. That'd be your "source". --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:54, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

::Wait and see. First, there's no pattern. We've got [[Ash Ketchum]] not '''Ash Ketchum (anime)'''. The reasons for {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} being separate pages are practical - their full pages were too long. Even if Iris isn't anime-only, that's still no reason to split her. We don't have to split every character to game, anime and manga self. Also, wait and see. I've got a hunch that she is anime-only and even if she does show up in the games, it'll be just a cameo, unworthy of separate article. But I'm not an admin, my hunches don't matter. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:25, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Sinking feeling? Nobody in their right mind would think Iris ''isn't'' an anime counterpart of the {{red link|Iris (game)|female player character from Generation V}}.

::The fact she has not used a Pokabu says that such an edit shouldn't be made.

:::::Why split them? Dento and Iris will be following Ash for the duration of the BW series. Are you going to argue that Misty's page needn't be split? She only followed Ash for one series. How about May and Dawn? Barry? The game characters will be vastly different than the anime characters, for one, and will definitely be sticking around for near 200 episodes. They will need to be split someday, so why not do it now '''''while the articles are tiny and rarely linked to''''', unless you wanna volunteer to be the one who relinks them all when we decide "yeah we should've split them" 120 episodes into BW. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:23, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
::::::IMO, we should base an article on what we know, not what we think will happen. Sure, Dento is a Gym Leader so he'll probably merit two pages eventually, but we don't know a thing about Iris's role in the game ("She has a dragon", which she may not even have in the games, does not automatically relate her to the main quest, which we don't even know that much about...). She may be a mere cameo for all we know, appearing as a random NPC in a city, not doing anything, or just giving away a TM or something. I mean, whatever happened to "wait before it airs" (or in this case "before it releases" too)? I'm not saying your position has no merit, but I think you're taking an extreme position ("Not ever.", as you said over at the Dento page), based on speculation (as likely as it may be; remember we didn't update Ash's Infernape and Torterra pages confirming their evolution after that opening spoiler, even though it was 100% confirmed). And if you're worried about eventual relinking, we could always make Iris (anime) redirect to Iris, link as {{an|Iris}} whenever in an animé context, and if there is an eventual move, we'll be future-proofed.
::::::And I think I'm treading dangerously into "DON'T mess with the status quo" territory, but I think game and Adventures [[Koga]] are more distinct than game and animé [[Barry]]. Just my two cents. '''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 01:10, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Keep in mind, I didn't create a separate page for Iris, but moved the page here ''just in case''. It can always be moved back if she has ''that small'' of a role in the games (though her presence at the Dragon Tower in the game and ownership of Kibago in the anime makes me think she will have at least a Dawn-size game role). Since I was splitting Dento, I figured I'd do Iris now rather than later, and save us from needing more edits.
:::::::As for Barry's anime/game split... yes, Barry in the anime is based ''directly'' on his game counterpart, but then again, so was Gary. Adventures is kinda iffy as far as more or less ''everyone'' goes, too, especially in the Gen I and II series. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:07, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Splits should be made when there is too much information to keep in one article, not by any patterns. The difference between Misty and Iris is that Misty has a huge history in the franchise with several Pokémon under her name, appearances as a Gym Leader in every generation, a main character role in the anime for 5 years, lots of manga appearances and even trading cards. Wheras Iris... hasn't actually appeared outside of brief previews yet.

Any other suggestions? We have lots of time to decide, but we should try to get an agreement on a color design. Personally, I love the top left hand one and the top centered one.

Other than the direct assumption that "アイリス" is the English word "Iris", "Airisu" is a girl's name that exists in Japanese.

Also, I don't get what's with these "sources" lately. Really, what the hell? What kind of "source" would you expect to confirm a romanization of a character?

::::::IMO, we should base an article on what we know, not what we think will happen. Sure, Dento is a Gym Leader so he'll probably merit two pages eventually, but we don't know a thing about Iris's role in the game ("She has a dragon", which she may not even have in the games, does not automatically relate her to the main quest, which we don't even know that much about...). She may be a mere cameo for all we know, appearing as a random NPC in a city, not doing anything, or just giving away a TM or something. I mean, whatever happened to "wait before it airs" (or in this case "before it releases" too)? I'm not saying your position has no merit, but I think you're taking an extreme position ("Not ever.", as you said over at the Dento page), based on speculation (as likely as it may be; remember we didn't update Ash's Infernape and Torterra pages confirming their evolution after that opening spoiler, even though it was 100% confirmed). And if you're worried about eventual relinking, we could always make Iris (anime) redirect to Iris, link as {{an|Iris}} whenever in an animé context, and if there is an eventual move, we'll be future-proofed.

Regardless of whether it obvious it is happening or not. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:43, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Shouldn't we put iris being the first or only person in the group to catch a pokemon that was discovered outside of unova {{unsigned|Randis14}}
:Last time I checked, they were still in Unova when she caught it. Also, please sign your name with four tildes. (~ <- These things) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 07:21, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
::I think he/she meant the first of Ash's traveling companions in Unova to catch a Pokemon not native to Unova/pre-Gen V Pokemon (Dragonite, obviously, and Pikachu and Meowth don't count for obvious reasons). Personally, I say why not, especially since it's already noted on Dragonite's page. For a subpoint, we could also say that it's the very first psuedo-legendary obtained by a main character in its final evolved form.

== Befriended ==
Should we add Deino from BW056 to her Befriended Pokémon,kinda like May and Manaphy from Movie 9? - {{unsigned|Ishlishl}}

I have to agree here. Iris very clearly bonded with it so it should be here.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 17:03, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
On a cruise ship during their travels through the [[Decolore Islands]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}} and {{AP|Snivy}} are watching how {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Pignite}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} play with a ball. Noting how they are in a place of the archipelago with many islands, [[Porter]] approaches them and offers them some juice. Meanwhile, on the water, two Pokémon emerge, an {{p|Octillery}} that climbs up to the ship's deck and a {{p|Croconaw}}, who waits under it. When the Pokémon are playing, Ash's Pignite makes a bad pass and goes after the ball. However, when he finds it, the Octillery jumps over him and then throws a boltrope to the water. Croconaw holds on to it and an {{p|Azumarill}} joins as well, Octillery pulls a capstan lever and the three proceed to enter to the ship.

At the ship's storage, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} sneak in through the ventilation system in order to steal some food. However, before they get a chance, the Water-type Pokémon appear and steal the food before them, taking it off the ferry. Ash & Co. hear the alarm and rush to help, only to find the getaway raft and watch the Pokémon get away with the food. After hearing about the acts that these pirate Pokémon partake within, Ash decides to try and stop them, with Charizard, Snivy & Pignite attempting to make them see the errors of the ways.

Setting Sail for New Adventures!]] making it look more apparent the dub there is a new opening, or Cartoon Network is doing this.

[[File:BW129 error.png|thumb|220px|Jessie's earrings error]]
===Errors===
* There is inconsistency in regards to the color of the ship railings. While the railings in the roofed ship terrace are colored red in most scenes, when they are showed from the outside and during full views of the ship, they are blue. Since the ship itself and [[Porter]]'s color schemes features blue, the railings are probably supposed to be blue as well.
* In one scene, [[Jessie]]'s earrings are colored red.
* While riding the boat, {{AP|Oshawott}} sits on Ash's lap, but when he leans over to talk to [[Officer Jenny]], Oshawott disappears.

* Much like in ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'', when Iris' Emolga steps on Cilan's Stunfisk and the Mow Rotom overrides it, it cries, even though in the Pokédex it says that "its skin is very hard, so it's unhurt even if stepped on by sumo wrestlers." This was done for comical purposes.
* Though not exactly a [[boss fantasy]], this is the first time in the [[Best Wishes series]] that {{TRT}} fantasizes about the Pokémon they are planning to steal.
* In this episode, for the first time since the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Team Rocket uses a variation of their {{motto}}.
* The beam emitters that Team Rocket use to capture Rotom are similar in design to the Proton Packs from ''{{wp|Ghostbusters}}''.
* At the end of the episode, the [[narrator]] impersonates Professor Oak. Both characters have [[Unshō Ishizuka|the same voice actor]].
* In the English Dub there was a mistake in the opening with it was the N saga opening when it should have been the Adventures in Unova and Beyond opening, furthermore it does not say Adventure in Unova and beyond in the opening title card, but in the who's that Pokemon segment it does still acknowledge it as Adventures in Unova and Beyond

Talk:Porter

Jaylop91: /* Voice Source */

== Is it the right name? ==

So I just saw this character's debut, but I thought I heard something odd. Ash calls him 'Parker' after he introduces himself, but it sounded like the character said 'Porter.' Did anyone else hear this? [[User:Legionaireb|Legionaireb]] ([[User talk:Legionaireb|talk]]) 13:07, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
:Closed captioning says his name is Porter, I just didn't get around to moving it yet. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 13:12, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
::Weird, I wonder why Ash would call someone his Japanese name. No one ever called Ash "Satoshi" in the dub. And Porter didn't even correct Ash. This guy has a bit of an accent, while Ash's voice is easy to understand. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 15:13, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
:::It is probably just some dubbing error, nothing special. It'll probably need to put down in the error section of BW123. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 15:19, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

== Voice Source ==
I'm guessing it Francis Kelly Because for the since his debut the credits say there is a VA named Francis Kelly leaving suspicion that it is him. {{unsigned|Jaylop91}}
:As you've been told before, we do not guess voice actors. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 05:31, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
:: Look I can take a photo of credits and starting 123 the guy has his name seen with Porter's debut I mean if it is not porter who does this Kelly guy voice then? {{unsigned|Jaylop91}}
:::Credits don't usually say who voiced who.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:45, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
::::Well I guess you got a point but I payed close attention to the credits not from CN but from the official credits and I'm still going paranoid about this guy seeing 123 had only him as a big character for the males but 124-126 that still brought his name but I guess he could be a weird new cast supervisor that doesn't talk. But my point is it seems that guesses should be made until the real word comes out. {{unsigned|Jaylop91}}
:::::We also should not be adding false information onto articles. Just wait until someone can confirm who it is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:20, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
::::::Alright non of the less he could be someone else's character or the one I'm guessing but one thing is for sure he is either new or a usual actor just taking a fake name I'll just let someone else learn the VA who gave porter his voice. {{unsigned|Jaylop91}}

== Disciplinary action ==

This is probably not my place to bring up, and I'm very sorry for that, but {{u|Relicant|User:Relicant}} continues to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Relicant&diff=prev&oldid=1930822 abuse] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Future_generations_of_Pokémon&diff=prev&oldid=1931552 hide tags], including [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Bisharp_(Plasma_Freeze_73)&diff=prev&oldid=1931568 for the blatant purpose of trolling], despite the fact that he or she has been specifically warned {{DL|User talk:Relicant|Hiding_comments|by you}} not to do so. Can something be done about it, please? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:22, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Then what are the hide tags for? --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 18:36, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

== Archiving ==

:By moving your current talk page to "User talk:Abdullahi456/Archive 1" or something similar. See {{bp|Talk page policy#Archiving user talk pages|this section}} for more information.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 18:45, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

== Template feedback ==

Can you take a look at this [[User:Reshi643/Template:NPC|template]] to see if it's alright to be used? Thanks. — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 18:26, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

== Template:Type2 ==

Can I ask why Template:Type2 is on the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special:WantedTemplates&limit=50&offset=50 Wanted templates] page, if it was deleted one year ago, and nothing is using the template? — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 20:29, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

== Cherrim and Castform minisprites ==

Uploaded animated ones; [[User talk:Force Fire#Cherrim and Castform minisprites|asked Force Fire]] about that (since he was active about hour ago when I posted that, but it seems he went away somewhere after that, so asking you instead). To be precise - [[:a:File:421SMS.png|Cherrim]] [[:a:File:Ani421SMS.png|Sunshine]] [[:a:File:421S alt MS.png|Form]]{{tt|*|Since that old sprite is technically used in HGSS... we could put that on the species page, near the other two minis; what template makes them appear in first place?}} and [[:a:File:Ani351SMS.png|Castform]] [[:a:File:Ani351RMS.png|weather]] [[:a:File:Ani351HMS.png|forms]]{{tt|*|I wonder if we can do the switch on Ruby's Pokémon with Castform, similar to what happens with Cherrim on Platinum's template}} [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 07:46, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
:Castform is done. I don't think Cherrim's old menusprite needs to be there because there's a link to the other images, and it would require big and complicated changes to the sprite template.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 08:27, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

== Template ==

Can we make an exception for Georgia? She's Iris' main rival an the only way we can have a template for her Pokémon party is if either her Bisharp or Vanilluxe gets an article, but since people here hate Bisharp with a burning passion and Georgia's Vanilluxe was in only one episode we can't have a page for either. --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 16:18, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
:We don't make exceptions for Drew, Harley, and Barry either, even though they are more important characters than Georgia. And it's not that we hate Bisharp, it's that you like it too much. Being your favorite Pokémon doesn't make it more likely to get an article.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 16:35, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
What makes you think I like Bisharp? --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 16:51, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:Relicant&oldid=1925686 this]--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:33, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
And? --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 17:39, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
:Are you (playing) dumb? You asked what makes me think you like Bisharp and I showed you a version of your user page with a "♥ This user loves Bisharp. ♥" tag.-'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:14, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
::Nah. I'm just trolling with you.
::Anyway back on topic, when will Georgia's Bisharp be allowed a page/when can I mainspace the Georgia's Pokémon template? --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 19:22, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
:::When Bisharp has made enough notable appearances. It is currently pretty much as notable as Drew's Masquerain and Paul's Weavile, who are in [[user talk:Kenji-girl|Kenji-girl's list]].--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:40, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
::::... But it has? It's partook in two tournaments, one of them while it was still a Pawniard. This is sorta like how Grimsley's Bisharp isn't allowed an article despite being his main Pokémon and appearing with him in all major appearances. Unless Grimsley is a Gym Leader/other important Trainer in XY/plays a super important role in b2w2 chapter of Adventures, or Georgia returns in the XY series <nowiki></nowiki>, these Bisharp probably won't have screen time in the future. --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 19:48, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
::Also, if Georgia isn't allowed a character template because only of her Pokémon have a page, why is {{adv|White}} from Adventures allowed one when the only Pokémon in her possession that has a page is {{adv|Amanda}}? {{unsigned|Relicant}}
:::Sorry to butt in, but Amanda isn't the only one. [[Gigi]] also has a page; she just doesn't happen to be in White's party at the moment, so you have to hit "show". [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:04, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Masquerain won a Contest, fought against May's Beautifly, appealed in two Grand Festivals, and fought in one of them. Weavile battled against a Champion and Ash, weakened a wild Pokémon and made three cameos. And their own pages were deleted because they weren't notable enough. It's not the end of the world if a Pokémon doesn't have a page, the {{template|TrainerPoké}} template can have all the same information as an own page.

Actually, it looks like Adventure does have different rules for making the Pokémon template, as [[Rakutsu]] and [[Faitsu]] have them.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 20:17, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

:::: Even better example: {{adv|Faitsu}} has a party template, yet only has one Pokémon (a Foongus) on her team. Said Foongus doesn't have an existing page. --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 20:17, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

== Xernes and Yveltal ==

Their genders are still "Unknown", but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vXA8BnlqX8 here]... If you set the quality to 720p and then screenshot that (which I did; the quality isn't superb but good enough to notice gender icons and lack of them on the duo) so you can zoom, you notice Xerneas and Yveltal lack the icons..

== Blocking users ==

Just letting you know that it's been decided that the one month block you gave to {{u|PokeSerbia}}, as well as the one week initial block, was a bit excessive for the nature of the issues. We do ask that you try to be a little lighter handed on the blocking in the future. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:04, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
:I'm sorry about that, I thought the fact that he was blatantly ignoring the warnings would make the block last longer. But I'm fine with the one-week block.

:And I wonder where and when have the staff members these discussions? I'd like to take part in at least some of them, so that I can present my opinions and we can prevent situations like this.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 09:40, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
::Major discussions take place on the forums, while more minor discussions & private person to person talks tend to be done via instant message clients (typically AIM, sometimes Skype). If you don't have a forums account, or an AIM account, I'd certainly suggest making one of each. You can then send a PM on the forums so we can get in touch with you for stuff like this. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 10:18, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

== Template ==

So yeah, Kogoro edited page and it got broken, since there was redlink.

I'm still learning the controls on Bulbapedia... I recently got an account, but just out of curiosity, why aren't we allowed anime quotes? I was just curious, if that!/ okay of me to ask.{{unsigned|Neptunebmusic}}

== Move tutors and stuff. ==

So I've been around pages, and Move Tutor templates list all 3 {{p|Kyurem}} and both of {{p|Meloetta}}'s Formes. But for what reason? The species pages don't list them as having different movesets. ({{p|Deoxys}} Formes do have different movesets, but not {{tt|Kyurem's|Unless you count Fusion move at Lv. 43 instead of Scary Face and Ice Burn/Freeze Shock at Lv. 50 instead of Glaciate}} or Meloetta's.) - the only place that should list that is {{m|Draco Meteor}} as it's teachable in BW, where Kyurem Formes don't exist. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 09:43, 16 August 2013 (UTC) PS. As well as the mentioned in tooltip moves. But otherwise, the moveset is... well, the same. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 09:44, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
:Pirouette Forme should ''definitely'' not be listed, because you can't have it outside a battle. We shouldn't list Black/White Kyurem either, because they all learn the same Tutor moves. I also noticed that [[Kami trio]] formes are listed separately, even though they shouldn't be.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 10:57, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

:First, I want this to be the last time you ask me (or anybody else) about something that isn't Bulbapedia-related.

== I'm sure ==

Look I have been told not to guess by ear, but how I know it could be him is because in the last three episodes from 123-125 I watched them and I saw his name in those 3 episodes credits, it can't be anyone else I'm most likely positive unless if its just an intern like person or just someone uncredited for a character.

'''Porter''' (Japanese: '''パーカー''' ''Parker'') are guides on cruiseships that travel through the [[Decolore Islands]].

==History==
Porter first appeared in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'' where he was shown to take the tickets of passengers boarding the cruiseship departing the [[Nuvema Town]] harbor. {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} gave their tickets to Porter, but he wasn't able to let them on board, as they didn't have the proper tickets. After Ash and {{ashfr}} got the real tickets that were stolen by {{TRT}}, he welcomed them aboard, and told them that he would accompany them on their travels through the Decolore Islands. He appeared again in [[BW124|the following episode]] as Ash and co. disembarked at [[Honey Island]].

In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]]'', Porter encountered Ash and friends yet again. The three were surprised to see Porter on a different cruiseship, albeit in a different uniform. Porter revealed that, like [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]], he is part of a family of identical members, the Porter they encountered earlier being his first cousin.

==Trivia==
* Each Porter has a different color on the collars of their jackets and the lining of their shoes.
** The stripes and smokestacks on each cruise ship have the same color scheme as the collars and shoes the Porter working on that cruise have.
* Although they are also part of a family of identical members, unlike Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny and Don George, Porter's Japanese name does not begin with the kana ジ.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} admiring the scenery of [[Castelia City]] as Ash is pumped up with the {{ci|Castelia}} [[Castelia Gym|Gym]] battle. They then bump into [[Burgh]] and he explains something is not right... until {{AP|Pikachu}} hears weird sounds coming from the sewers. They go down to investigate when they find a {{p|Venipede}} stuck in a pipe. Ash pulls it out and the scared Venipede immediately {{m|Screech}}es to harm everyone, but stops because of injury it has on its head. Ash then notices the injury and explains that he wants to help the Venipede, but it attacks Ash instead. Ash holds the confused creature and tells it he still wants to help with its injury. Venipede finally seems convinced as Ash falls to the floor not feeling so well. Ash wakes up when {{an|Cilan}} feeds him some antidote and Venipede is bandaged by {{an|Iris}} and Burgh. Iris then feeds Venipede an [[Oran Berry]] which it happily sucks the juices from. They then notice a huge swarm of Venipede marching through the sewers.

The Venipede use Screech to harm everyone to which they then assault them with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}s that Ash and his friends narrowly avoid. The swarm of Venipede start chasing after them as the bandaged Venipede decides to stay behind in the sewers. When everyone gets out, they realize the Venipede are invading the city. [[Officer Jenny]] appears and explains that the Venipede came out from the sewers. They suddenly hear an explosion coming from downtown to which they immediately run to. They see a group of Trainers attacking the Venipede with their {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. One of the Trainers is [[Trip]], who is using his {{p|Lampent}} to take on the Venipede. Ash tries to tell the Trainers to stop attacking the Venipede, but the [[Mayor of Castelia City]] comes and tells Ash that the Venipede need to get cleared out, and that battling them is the only way. But, Burgh suggests that they somehow get all the Venipede into the central part of the city so that they can find out why the Venipede are in the city. Ash, Cilan, and Iris all insist on this idea and Burgh says that they could find the Venipede leader and have it follow them. The Mayor agrees to this idea, and Burgh has Cilan stay at the Pokémon Center to go get Nurse Joy and her Audino. Burgh, Ash and Iris head off to find the Venipede leader as Trip ponders about the Venipede's leader. Back at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, the data from the EXA Satellite is received, as one of Juniper's assistants asks why they need it to diagnose the Venipede's actions. Professor Juniper hypothesizes that since Venipede usually nest underground, a reaction within the ground has caused the Venipede to move into Castelia City.

Back in Castelia, Burgh, Ash, and Iris run through the streets as Ash asks how they'll find the leader of the Venipede. Burgh replies that since wild Pokémon stand side by side in times of danger, they will find a lot of Venipede crowded around one Venipede that's the leader. He also says that the leader will be at a certain place where they can monitor their way with the swarm. Iris spots a larger Venipede on top of a building, which has a bunch of other Venipede around it, making itself the leader, and it jumps down onto the street to challenge them. Burgh advises the leader that lingering in the city will place them in danger, and says to follow him. The leader responds with a Sludge Bomb which Burgh dodges. Suddenly, Trip appears on the scene and tells his Lampent to attack the Venipede leader with Flamethrower. Ash tells Trip to stop, but Trip says that if the leader were to be defeated, the swarm would fall apart. Trip has his Lampent use {{m|Shadow Ball}} on the leader, but Ash jumps in the way and takes the hit instead. Then, the Venipede that was stuck in the sewer pipe from before appears and crawls towards Ash. Ash tells Trip that the Venipede can be gentle Pokémon if they don't attack them. Burgh supports Ash's statement by saying that their hearts have yet to reach them. Cilan then returns along with Nurse Joy and her Audino. Trip recalls his Lampent and agrees to stay out of their way in their plan and walks off. Burgh tells Nurse Joy's Audino to use Heal Pulse on the Venipede, and Burgh pulls out a Bug Flute. He plays it, and all the Venipede start to follow him. Ash and friends are awed by this and Burgh tells them to go round up the remaining separated Venipede.

Ash runs towards an alley and calls out {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}} and has her use Gust to get the individual Venipede with the others. Iris heads towards some Venipede on the roof of a building and tells Axew to use Dragon Rage. Axew fails at Dragon Rage yet again, but it scares the Venipede into joining the herd. Cilan has Pansage help with Bullet Seed as well. However, one of the Venipede uses Sludge Bomb on Ash's Pidove! However, Trip has his Tranquill save Ash's Pidove from the attack as he decides to help the Venipede as well. Through these series of events, Ash's Pidove starts to evolve! Ash's newly evolved {{p|Tranquill}} works with Trip's Tranquill to get the last of the Venipede reunited with the swarm. Back at Professor Juniper's lab, a strange energy signal is received, and she traces it to the Desert Resort, as two unknown energies begin to fuse. Meanwhile on a plane, Giovanni is informed by a Team Rocket Grunt that they'll be arriving shortly in the Unova Region. {{an|Giovanni}} exclaims that with the [[Meteonite]]'s power, Team Rocket will be back to its former glory. Night has now fallen on Castelia City, as all the Venipede have gathered in the central plaza. The Mayor of Castelia City thanks Burgh, Ash, and the others for their help. Trip starts to walk off saying that his Gym challenge probably won't come any time soon, and that he's headed to the next city for his Badge. Professor Juniper then arrives and tells Ash and friends that she's discovered a strange energy flow that leads to the Desert Resort. Burgh says that the energy disturbed the Venipede, and caused them to flee towards Castelia in fear. Officer Jenny volunteers to come with Professor Juniper to investigate the Desert Resort. Ash, Cilan, and Iris want to come too, much to Juniper's surprise. Burgh has to stay in Castelia City in order to keep the Venipede swarm in safe condition. With that, everyone gets inside a helicopter and journeys to the [[Desert Resort]].

* When Trip commands his Tranquill to use {{m|Air Cutter}}, he is shown with six fingers on his right hand.

===Dub edits===
* To maintain consistency of the planned [[BW023 (unaired)|BW023]] and [[BW024 (unaired)|BW024]] being skipped, the scene where {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} insist to accompany [[Professor Juniper]] to the [[Desert Resort]] has been removed. The [[narrator]]'s lines are also changed to say that Ash looked forward to his next Gym battle rather than saying that he and his friends would accompany Professor Juniper to the Desert Resort. As of ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', it appears that the dubbed edit is true as the skipped episodes are retconned out of canon, Although it gave a plot hole in the dub of what happened to Professor Juniper's research for what caused the strange energy signals that angered the Venipede.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still on the road back to [[New Bark Town]] where they can deliver the [[Pokémon Egg]] requested by Professor {{prof|Elm}} and so Ash can register for the [[Johto League]] [[Silver Conference]]. As Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} eat their lunch, the trio try and guess what kind of Pokémon with hatch from the Egg. Just as Brock suggests it's going to be a [[legendary Pokémon]], the Egg begins to glow as if it is about to hatch, but it's only a false alarm. As Ash tries to persuade the Egg to hatch, {{TRT}} spy on them from the bushes and then begin to scheme how to get it.

At that moment, the Egg begins to glow again from under Ash's shirt. When Ash pulls his shirt up, it reveals a {{p|Larvitar}}. {{AP|Larvitar}} isn't moving, and Brock checks its temperature and finds that its body temperature is way too low. The trio decide it's best if they got Larvitar to a [[Pokémon Center]], and promptly go to a nearby one.

[[Nurse Joy]] can't find anything wrong with Larvitar and calls Professor Elm who is currently meeting up with Professor {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Delia}} so they can see Ash off to the Silver Conference.

Trouble is brewing back at the Pokémon Center: not only can Nurse Joy not get a hold of Professor Elm, but a storm is brewing and Larvitar isn't getting any better. As Nurse Joy finds that Larvitar is getting worse, the power goes out. Nurse Joy goes to check on the generator but falls down one of {{TRT|Team Rocket's}} pitfalls. [[Jessie]] explains to her that now they're going to kidnap Larvitar. Inside, the trio wonder where Nurse Joy is. Jessie, dressed up as Nurse Joy, and [[James]], disguised as a surgeon, tell them that they need to take Larvitar to the hospital. Ash almost does it, but Brock stops him and tells him that it's clearly ''not'' Nurse Joy. Jessie reveals herself and James tries to take Larvitar by force, but {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, sending Team Rocket running off.

Misty and Brock go rescue Nurse Joy from the pitfall, but Nurse Joy explains that the generator's blown beyond repair. Inside, Ash uses {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to heat Larvitar with the heat on its back.

Back in New Bark Town, Professor Elm finally gets Nurse Joy's email about Larvitar, and immediately hit the road to the Pokémon Center with Professor Oak and Delia. The professors tell them that they'll take care of Larvitar while the others eat breakfast. The professors manage to get Larvitar's body temperature up and make it conscious, but Larvitar still doesn't respond to external stimuli and it hasn't eaten, making it obvious a problem still exists. Just as everyone leaves to eat breakfast, Larvitar opens its eyes slightly.

At the table, Ash tells the others of a dream he had the night before where he saw into the eyes of Larvitar as an Egg. The Egg was tossed around in traffic and rolled under the feet of people on a sidewalk. Professor Elm says that must be the cause for its unresponsiveness. Ash asks Professor Elm if he can take Larvitar outside for a while, and Elm says it's alright to.

Outside, Ash shows Larvitar how great the world is, showing it a field, the ocean, and the sky, but as Larvitar takes it in, Team Rocket shows up and invites Larvitar to come lay on a pile of hay with them. After Ash tells them that Larvitar won't, Team Rocket dives into the hay and comes out with a vehicle with a pair of arms and a giant net on it. The arm grabs Ash, who lets go of Larvitar. Before Team Rocket can steal Larvitar, Ash tells Pikachu to get Larvitar away, but Larvitar won't move.

Pikachu tries to shock the vehicle, but it's shock proof, and Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with the other hand. With the net, they go for Larvitar, but a herd of {{p|Jumpluff}} get in the way so they can't catch it. As Larvitar watches the Jumpluff bounce on the ground, it remembers bouncing through the streets as an Egg and uses {{m|Screech}}. With Team Rocket temporarily distracted, Ash tells Larvitar to run, but instead, it uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to levitate the vehicle and free Pikachu and Ash. Larvitar sends Team Rocket blasting off, and the others watch in astonishment.

Ash congratulates Larvitar and tells him there's nothing to be afraid of when he's with his friends. With Larvitar opening up to the world, the group drives back to New Bark Town and Ash registers for the Silver Conference at a Pokémon Center.

Now on the road to [[Mt. Silver]], Elm has entrusted Ash with Larvitar so he can deliver it to the Pokémon Preserve Center there, where the Egg was originally found. The episode ends with the three sent off to Mt. Silver.

==Major events==
* Ash's {{pkmn|Egg}} hatches into a {{p|Larvitar}}.
* Ash registers for the [[Silver Conference]].
* Ash agrees to take Larvitar to [[Mt. Silver]].

==Trivia==

* The English title is based on the phrase "catch me if you can," Which happens to be a song featured in the first [[Pikachu Short]], [[Catch Me if You Can]]. It also happened to be the title of a {{wp|Catch Me if You Can|movie}} released around the time the episode debuted in English-speaking countries.
* Music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'' can be heard in this episode.

===Errors===
* In the scene when Team Rocket is chasing Ash, Pikachu and Larvitar, Larvitar's black markings disappear.
* Ash's Larvitar used {{m|Harden}} in this episode. However, Larvitar [[Anime move errors|cannot legitimately learn this move]] in the games.
* Ash's Cyndaquil disappeared after Ash's dream.

===Dub edits===
* Since Jessie and James are disguised as Heidi and Peter from {{wp|Heidi, Girl of the Alps}}, the [[Pokémon in Italy|Italian dub]] alters [[Team Rocket's motto]] to include references to the infamous line from the Italian opening of that series which speaks about smiling mountains and goats saying hello.
** In the [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American dub]], Jessie sings the first line of the opening theme,"{{tt|Abuelito Dime Tú|Tell Me, Grandpa}}" (which is directly translated from the original Japanese, "{{tt|教えて ''Oshiete''|Tell Me}}") before the motto, and James sings it as well, just after his last line. Also, Jessie recites "''{{tt|Para proteger al mundo de la Señorita Rottenmeier|To protect the world from Miss Rottenmeier}}''" and presents herself as "Heidi" instead of "Jessie", while Meowth says "''{{tt|¡Como Heidi, así es!|Just like Heidi, that's right!}}''".

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
Previously, {{un|Cameron}} found out that he needs one more [[Badge]] (he first thought he only needed seven). [[Jervis]] tells him that the nearest [[Gym]] is in [[Humilau City]]. Before Cameron and [[Cameron's Riolu]] can go, {{Ash}} asks if he can come to watch. Cameron, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are all surprised, but Cameron says yes.

While they are walking, Ash and Cameron talk about the [[Unova League]]. Cilan remarks that the two get on really well, which Iris says is because they are both little kids. But when they look around, Ash and Cameron are gone! Cilan thinks they took a wrong turn, which Iris says is just "great", as they act like little kids too. Meanwhile, Ash and Cameron are walking in the completely wrong direction. Suddenly, {{an|Meloetta}} flies past and materializes in front of Ash and Cameron. After introducing himself, Cameron realizes Cilan and Iris are gone. Ash and Cameron start to look when Ash falls off a cliff, but manages to grab some plants. Cameron comes over and manages to pull Ash up.

At this point, Ash and Cameron realize they are hopelessly lost. As they try to find their way back, it starts to rain. The two trainers manage to find a cave for shelter. The two are hungry and decide to eat, but both realize they forgot to pack any food with them. Meloetta floats off and finds an apple tree. The group collects the apples and gorges themselves in the cave. Waiting for the rain to stop, Ash and Cameron exchange their dreams. They both have similar goals. Ash wants to be a Pokémon master while Cameron wants to be a Pokémon champion.

Eventually the rain stops and the sky clears, allowing Cameron to use the stars to navigate. As they are walking, Cameron walks off a cliff similar to the way Ash did but grabs a root to stop him from falling. Roles reversed, it is now up to Ash to save Cameron. Ash can't pull up Cameron and starts to get dragged down. Cameron tells Ash to let go, but Ash will not. Ash starts to fall when Riolu and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] grab him and pull the two up.

Finally, the two trainers sea the ocean in the distance and run toward it, ready for Cameron's upcoming gym battle. They get to the city and are looking for the gym when a {{p|Wailord}} with a man on its back surfaces in front of them. At the Humilau gym, Iris and Cilan are waiting for Cameron and Ash to arrive when [[Iris's Axew|Axew]] sees them in the distance riding the Wailord. The man on the Wailord's back introduces himself as [[Marlon]], the city's gym leader.

The battle is on a water battlefield with floating platforms. Cameron and Marlon agree to a 2 on 2 battle. Confident, Cameron calls on Riolu to battle, but Riolu is back at the dock. Snapping his headband to regain his focus, Cameron is ready to battle. Marlon sends out his {{p|Jellicent}} and Cameron sends out his {{p|Ferrothorn}}. Ferrothorn looks to be at a disadvantage though because it is having a hard time balancing on the stage's floating platforms. Cameron attacks first with {{m|Pin Missile}}, but Jellicent dives underwater, but quickly comes up to attack with {{m|Shadow Ball}} that Ferrothorn dodges. Ash and Iris are impressed with Cameron's battling abilities. Ferrothorn unleashes a super-effective {{m|Thunderbolt}} that manages to hit Jellicent. Jellicent [[fainting|faints]], but his [[Cursed Body]] Ability disables Ferrothorn's Thunderbolt.

Next, Marlon calls out his {{p|Mantine}}. Knowing {{type|Electric}}s are super-effective against {{type|Water|}} and {{type|Flying}}s like Mantine, Cameron calls for another Thunderbolt, but it doesn't work because Jellicent's Cursed Body Ability has disabled the attack. Ash and {{ashfr}} are worried that Cameron won't be able to win this battle. Cameron has Ferrothorn use Pin Missile instead, but Mantine uses {{m|Wing Attack}} followed by {{m|Bullet Seed}} before Ferrothorn is able to attack. A final {{m|Psybeam}} knocks Ferrothorn out.

For his next Pokémon, Cameron calls out his {{p|Samurott}}. Mantine uses Bullet Seed, but Samurott dives underwater to dodge. Marlon has Mantine follow and the battle shifts to an underwater battle. Mantine uses Bullet Seed again, but Samurott evades the attack and uses {{m|Hydro Cannon}} from behind. Dazed, Mantine is unable to dodge Samurott's {{m|Aqua Jet}}, launching both Pokémon out of the water. Mantine tries Bullet Seed for a third time, but Cameron has Samurott deflect the attack with {{m|Razor Shell}}. Mantine swoops down with {{m|Wing Attack}}, but Samurott meets the aerial attack with a double Razor Shell, knocking out Mantine and winning Cameron the battle. Marlon presents Cameron with the [[Badge|Wave Badge]], giving Cameron the eight badges he needs to compete in the [[Vertress Conference]].

== The huge list ==

Is it needed? I personally think not. After all, most would just assume after seeing one that others would use similar aspects for theirs. Do we list that "gasp, all of Roxanne's Pokémon are Rock-types"? No. In Gym Leader, it's defined. Why bother making a list when you could just say "most double battles against NPCs feature the NPC trainer using two similar or related Pokémon.

== Pokémon pairs often used in double battles ==

This doesn't belong on this page, because it's not part of the concept of double battles. It's more like thinly veiled strategy. And like {{u|SaturnYoshi}} wrote above, who uses these pairs? The list is rather opinionated and prone to personal preference. I think it belongs on an appendix page. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 06:18, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

== Targeting Order of Multi-Target Moves and Dark Void ==
I have played double battles a lot recently. One aspect of them(In 4th Gen at least) that can be of importance, is that any attack that targets to multiple pokemon will hit the fastest target first, and the slowest last(Same goes in Trick Room, basically reversing the normal order). One important use of this I know is in regards to Dark Void in Battle Revolution Doubles while Sleep Clause is active. The fastest target will be the first to get hit(Or get lucky with a miss). The slower one will be guaranteed to avoid it if it hits the faster one and puts sleep on them, unless the faster one already has a non-sleep status on them/it misses the fast target.
Dark Void is definitely the only move where knowing the order could be useful(Such as switching in a slow pokemon to make your fast sleep-talker fall asleep instead of a faster sweeper. For Lum berry or Chesto berry-holders, just give it to a faster pokemon, to let your slow sleep-talker be put to sleep). If sleep clause is not active, then both pokemon will only have a normal chance to avoid it. For the other moves, the attack order is not as important to know(Since they just deal damage or confusion, which aren't as bad as sleep in most cases). [[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 15:59, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:Well, I did mention the turn-order thing in the article, and the Dark Void page already mentions the Sleep Clause deal, so I think we're good in that regard. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 18:57, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== In-game double battle partners ==

I'm not talking the stat trainers; they already have what I'm after. A list of other double-battle partners would be nice though, along with the back sprites of Barry and Steven. You know, just because they aren't anywhere else? -_-; [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 11:50, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia? ==

Is it worth mentioning that in the main series there isn't a single case of a double battle involving just two trainers? Like it's either the player and a teammate, or a player versus two trainers. Never player versus a single trainer, unless you count the battle tower (I think? that might even be against two trainers). [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 21:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
:Battle Tower Double Battles are against one trainer. If I recall correctly, the Emerald Gym leader rematches are also Double Battles... {{unsigned|Goukazaru}}
::...Crap, I did forget to sign...--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] 05:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Well then maybe it's notable that there aren't any double battles versus just one trainer before beating the elite 4? [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 12:02, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Has there ever been a double battle where the main player and another player battle one person [[User:Jaylop91|Jaylop91]]

== Triple battle debut ==

May I argue again that the triple battle section should mention that three on three battles' first major appearance was in [[Pokémon Battrio]], and too much of a fact to be mere trivia? [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 23:15, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't Triple Battles be considered a separate article?[[User:Captian Obvious|Captian Obvious]] 19:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, but not yet. There isn't enough information for an article on them yet, so they are mentioned here in an attempt to stop people from trying to circumvent the creation protection. Once we get more information then either this article will have to be moved to something like ''Multiple battles'' or they'll need to be split into separate articles. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:55, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Are triple battles ''really'' exclusive to White? If so they should be added to the version's page's trivia.--[[User talk:444Zekrom|444]][[User:444Zekrom|Z]][[Zekrom|ekrom]] 04:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

== Didn't This Mechanic Originate in [[Generation II]]? ==

Specifically, when fighting [[twins]], you fight a two on two battle. If this isn't a double battle, then what is it? I mean, it always struck me as an experimental form of double battle. [[User:Balmung60|Balmung60]] 05:49, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:They battled regular one on one battles back then.-[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 06:05, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Didn't the Trading Card game have official Double Battle format rules around the time Double Battles in the games were new?
I seem to remember having heard something about that, but it may have just been a house rules kind of deal.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
On their way to [[Nimbasa City]], the gang are seen taking a break for lunch. While {{AP|Tepig}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} are playing, they find an unconscious {{MTR}} in the bushes. Upon telling everyone, {{an|Cilan}} quickly inspects Meowth´s condition. Cilan and {{an|Iris}} give him medicine, and soon after, Meowth regains consciousness. After being startled by the gang, Iris asks Meowth what {{TRT}} is doing here. However, Meowth tells them that he is no longer a part of Team Rocket.

When {{Ash}} asks him what happened, Meowth tries to run away, claiming that nothing happened, but he is not able to run in his condition, and almost collapses. He tells the story of how he was entrusted to carry out an operation, but was unsuccessful. As a result, he was taken back to headquarters to hear what the consequences were. When leaving headquarters, he imagined [[Jessie]] and [[James]] leaving him, so he kept walking.

Upon hearing the story, Cilan suggests to the others that they should let Meowth travel with them, but Ash and Iris don´t think that it's a good idea. Cilan then reminds them that he is the only Meowth in [[Unova]], and that he will be lonely. Meowth initially refuses, but Iris says that he will faint again if they leave him. Ash tells Meowth that he can travel with them on the condition that he doesn't do anything bad. Meowth agrees to these terms as he has no reason to do anything bad, seeing as he's no longer a part of Team Rocket.

As they start walking, Meowth flatters the gang on their qualities; commenting on Cilan's soup, calling Iris a princess, and even calling Ash a good Trainer. As they walk, Axew becomes interested in a shiny object placed on the road, but when Axew tries to grab it, he is kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}. The gang follows Scrafty to its hut, but Meowth tries to stop them, explaining that they mustn't get any closer to Scrafty´s hut because he could hurt Axew. Ash ignores Meowth and runs towards the hut, but Meowth stops him again, telling him that Scrafty is serious and that they shouldn't anger him. Pikachu agrees with Meowth, and Cilan suggests that they wait there until it things calm down. Inside the hut, Axew tries to use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, blowing a hole through the wall, but Scrafty manages to evade it.

Meowth tells the others that he will take it from there, claiming that he is a negotiator. Meowth slowly walks to Scrafty´s hut, calling for it to come outside. He asks Scrafty why he is doing this, and Scrafty tells him it will release Axew if it gets a Pokémon to help it in a fight. While Meowth negotiates with Scrafty, Ash makes his way around the hut as Scrafty shows Meowth that Axew is in one piece—but is tied up. Higher up, Ash notices that there is a window on the side, later suggesting that there is a way to release Axew. He tells Meowth to talk with Scrafty, but Meowth explains that Scrafty is an evolved form of {{AP|Scraggy}}, and that it will be good idea to take Scraggy with him to distract Scrafty. Ash complies and lets Scraggy go with Meowth, and takes {{AP|Snivy}} with him. As Snivy is released from her [[Poké Ball]], she attacks Meowth, only for Ash to tell her that Meowth is now their friend.

Meanwhile, Jessie and James are in the [[Nimbasa City]] underground, completing another one of their operations.

Meowth and Scraggy go to Scrafty while Ash goes around the hut again. As Scraggy and Scrafty show which moves they can use, Meowth suggests that Scrafty should teach Scraggy some good moves in an attempt to distract it. Scrafty accepts, and shows Scraggy how to use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Scraggy tries to use the move, distracting Scrafty and allowing Meowth to signal to Ash that he can release Axew. Ash tells Snivy to use {{m|Vine Whip}} and carry Axew out of the window. As Meowth pretends to alert that Axew is missing, he and Scraggy leave so Pikachu can use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Scrafty and return to the others.

Upon returning Axew, Meowth says that Scraggy is worried about Scrafty, but Scrafty returns and challenges the gang. Ash accepts and chooses Tepig to battle, who easily wins the fight. Meowth and Cilan investigate why Scrafty is doing these things. After refusing to speak, Scrafty admits that its nest was taken away, and it needs help to get it back, and that everyone he has asked has refused to help—resulting in it kidnapping Pokémon. After hearing the story, Ash and his friends agree to help Scrafty.

Scrafty leads them to his nest, showing them that a {{p|Mandibuzz}} had taken it. Scrafty tries to attack Mandibuzz, but is easily defeated by her {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Scraggy decides to try to defend his "older brother". Mandibuzz uses {{m|Pluck}} and dives into Scraggy, but Scraggy manages to dodge the attack. Mandibuzz hits the head in the ground and gets stuck on the rocks. As Mandibuzz tries to get free, Scrafty commands Scraggy to use Hi Jump Kick, which successfully hits and defeats Mandibuzz. Upon defeating Mandibuzz, she starts crying, explaining that she was kicked out of her flock because she ate all of the food, forcing her to take Scrafty's nest. After hearing this, Meowth suggests that they pick up some food and give it to Mandibuzz´s flock. After seeing it as a peace-offering, Mandibuzz is welcomed back to her flock.

As the trio continue their journey, Iris compliments Meowth's negotiation skills, to which everybody agrees. Suddenly, Iris decides to capture Meowth and throws a Poké Ball at him. The catch is unsuccessful as Meowth yells at her, claiming that he belongs to no-one. He agrees to continue traveling with the group, as long as they don't try to catch him.

Finally, Jessie and James are seen at night in [[Anville Town]]'s train yard, planning to report their progress to [[Dr. Zager]].

*In the [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American]] dub, when Meowth was trying to distract Scrafty, instead of saying ''"Scrafty! Watch out, look at that!!"'', he points and says ''"{{tt|¡¡Que horror, los de [[wp:Digimon|Digimon]]!!|The horror, the ones from Digimon!!}}"''.
**A similar reference in which a Pokémon character looks down to the Digimon franchise happened in [[DP045]].

'''Jessie's Frillish''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのプルリル''' ''Musashi's Pururill'') is the second Pokémon that [[Jessie]] obtained in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
Jessie's Frillish first appeared in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', debuting along with [[James's Amoonguss]] when {{TRT}} attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for the first time since their "Operation Tempest" and temporary retreat back to [[Kanto]].

When Ash and friends were helping the rookie Trainer [[Nanette]] to gain some experience, Team Rocket surprised them, sent out their new Pokémon, and used a combination of {{m|Mist}} and {{m|Stun Spore}} on them and their Pokémon, reducing the visibility to almost nothing and paralyzing {{an|Iris}}'s {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and {{an|Cilan}}'s {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} at the same time, thus leaving Ash alone to face Team Rocket with {{AP|Pikachu}}. After Amoonguss had successfully knocked Pikachu out, Jessie had {{p|Frillish}} use {{m|Psychic}}, lifting Pikachu into the air and towards Team Rocket's {{TP|Team Rocket|mecha|mechas}}. However, thanks to the distraction provided by Nanette and her {{p|Tepig}}, Pikachu was freed, although Tepig got caught in the process. For a getaway distraction, Team Rocket fired a combination of {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Hidden Power}}, which, much to their surprise, was endured by [[Ash's Unfezant]], followed by an {{m|Air Cutter}} and an {{m|Aerial Ace}} to defeat Frillish and Amoonguss, respectively.

Frillish reappeared in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', where Jessie sent her out after catching Pikachu. She distracted Ash from holding on to his {{AP|Snivy}} when Snivy used {{m|Vine Whip}} to grab onto their balloon. Frillish once again battled Unfezant after {{TP|Iris|Axew}} freed Pikachu with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Pikachu joined in the battle and tried to finish off Team Rocket but Amoonguss's Stun Spore paralyzed him before the attack completely blasted them off. Frillish was taken out along with Amoonguss by Unfezant's {{m|Air Cutter}} which slammed them into Team Rocket's balloon.
