Ash's Noibat (Japanese: サトシのオンバット Satoshi's Onbat) is the fifth Pokémon that Ash caught in the Kalos region.

History

In XY076, Noibat was first in its egg found near a tree, it was found by Hawlucha who was doing training exercises. The Wrestling Pokémon brought the egg back to Ash and his friends, where it was about to hatch. In response Ash and their Pokémon covered the egg whilst it hatched to keep it warm with Fletchinder using its Flame Body to keep it warm.

When it hatched, Noibat first saw Ash, he and his Pokémon introduced themselves, but Noibat was stressed out so it let out a powerful Supersonic which hurt everyone's ears, however it was calmed down by Ash. Afterwards Serena scanned Noibat with her Pokédex and found out Noibat liked fruit. Dedenne found an apple and gave it to Noibat who scanned it with its ultrasonic waves but ended up not liking it, Bonnie tasted it but didn't like the taste. Afterwards all the Pokémon pitched in and found apples but Noibat scanned them with its ultrasonic waves but didn't like any of them, it then scanned the two apples which Bonnie held and it liked them so it and Bonnie had one each. Noibat then attempted to fly, but failed and hurt itself and launched a powerful Supersonic scream until it was calmed down by Ash. After failing once more, Ash went onto an open area to try and teach it to fly, and Fletchinder and Hawlucha offered to help. It trailed the Ember Pokémon in flying but it fell down and was caught by Ash before it hit the ground. It then did a run up as advised by Hawlucha and then took flight, though it did better, it couldn't succeed in successfully flying and was caught by Hawlucha before it hit the ground after Pancham and Chespin failed to catch it. Despite its improvements it was upset at failing to fly, Hawlucha then had the idea to go to a hilly area, which was windy and there was more room to fly. Whilst training with Hawlucha and Fletchinder, Team Rocket fired a net at Noibat, who was captured along with Hawlucha who tried to protect it, as Team Rocket wanted to evolve it into a Noivern. Fletchinder tried to rescue them but failed due to Inkay's Ink Spray.

They were then tied up to a tree. Noibat tried to use Supersonic on them but failed since they were using soundproof earphones, Hawlucha cut the rope using its nails and tried to sneak away but were spotted by Team Rocket, after Hawlucha attacked Inkay with High Jump Kick they ran away with Hawlucha carrying Noibat on its back and gliding away as it almost crashed into the ground after failing to fly, who was successfully able to fend off Inkay and Pumpkaboo by kicking Inkay into Pumpkaboo. Noibat spotted a cave and it and Hawlucha went in their to hide. It was pitch black in the cave and when Jessie, James and Meowth tried to capture them and lure them into a trap set by Inkay and Pumpkaboo. Noibat used its ultrasound waves to stop the trio and had Hawlucha kick off their soundproof headphones, which allowed Noibat to use Supersonic, causing the trio to flee. After they were defeated by Frogadier and Pikachu, they left the cave. Afterwards it accepted Ash's offer to go with it and Noibat was captured in a Pokéball. It was let out and it trained to fly with Hawlucha and Fletchinder again.

Personality and characteristics

After hatching, it quickly developed strong bond with Ash, presumably because it is who Noibat first saw. It was also impressed by Hawlucha's abilities in its debut. As a newborn Pokémon it struggled to fly and was upset when it failed, when stressed or upset it lets out a powerful Supersonic attack. Like all Noibat, it has an affinity toward fruit, but can be a picky eater and refused to eat apples which it thought were bad.

Noibat has the ability to use ultrasonic waves, which it first used in XY076 to tell if a fruit was bad or good and it later used these to spot Team Rocket in pitch darkness.
