'''Blue's Machamp''' (Japanese: '''グリーンのカイリキー''' ''Green's Kairiky'') is a {{p|Machamp}} owned by {{adv|Blue}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.  
'''Blue's Machamp''' (Japanese: '''グリーンのカイリキー''' ''Green's Kairiky'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{adv|Blue}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and his fourth overall. As of ''[[PS275|A Vicious Cycle of Possibilities]]'', he is at [[level]] 80, and his [[Characteristic]] is that he "nods off a lot."

[[File:Red Machoke.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Machoke, temporarily owned by Red]]
As a Machoke, he was a member of the team Blue constructed on his journey across [[Kanto]] to complete the [[Pokédex]]. He is first seen out of its [[Poké Ball]] when it was accidentally traded to {{adv|Red}} due to a mix-up that left Red with Blue's main team members and vice-versa. Just like [[Blue's Charizard|Charmeleon]] and the rest of the Pokémon Red inadvertently received, he was disobedient and more than ready to attack his new Trainer, but still used to the harsh training regime Blue gave his Pokémon, he would regularly go on runs with its teammates and train along with them. In Red's care, however, he would grow to adopt the boy's suave and lax tendencies when it came to training, a factor that would later surprise Blue when the Pokémon would return with its teammates.
Machamp first appeared as a Machoke in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', when Machoke is accidentally [[traded]] to {{adv|Red}} alongside Blue's other Pokémon. During the three days that Red has them, he attempts to get them to relax and open up to him, with little success. A few days later, during which the only new Pokémon Red had captured were a {{p|Krabby}} and {{p|Diglett}} due to their [[Obedience|disobedience]], Machoke was pitted in a battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Ninetales}} when [[Pika]] injured him using {{m|Toxic}} and forced him to run towards Red's new party. Though he initially failed to hold his own against the fox's intense flames, the tables turned when he suddenly [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Machamp, due to being traded, and subdued the enemy using his four strong arms. The two boys each threw a {{i|Poké Ball}}, one of which captured Ninetales. Though Blue didn't object when Red claimed his ball had caught him, Blue argued that it was his Machamp that weakened him, so he should keep him, which he did. They then traded back each other's Pokémon, while keeping the caring attitude that Red installed in them.
[[File:Red Snor vs Blue Machamp.png|thumb|200px|Machamp in the Pokémon League]]
In ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', Machamp battled against Red and his [[Snor]] during the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]]. Machamp started off by blocking Snor with his four arms and preventing him from attacking. After a brief fight of strength, Machamp easily lifted Snor with his four arms before spinning him about with {{m|Submission}} to render Snor dizzy and {{m|slam}}ming him onto the floor. After Snor hit the ground, Red quietly told Snor to use {{m|Harden}} in anticipation of Machamp's next attack. However, Machamp instead attacked the ground, using the shattered debris as a lever to catapult Snor into the air and out of the battlefield. Just as Snor was about to be disqualified for going out of bounds, he plummeted from mid-air and crushed Machamp with a {{m|Double-Edge}} and {{m|Toxic}} combo. Noting Machamp to be down to a third of his health, Blue sent Ninetales out in its place.


A few days later, during which the only new Pokémon Red had captured were a {{p|Krabby}} and {{p|Diglett}} due to its disobedience (though he notes that they wouldn't bite anymore), he was pitted in a battle against a wild {{p|Ninetales}} when [[Pika]] injured it using {{m|Toxic}} and forced it to run towards Red's new party, and Red sent out Machoke to defend himself. Though he initially failed to hold its own against the fox's intense flames, the tables turned when it suddenly evolved into a Machamp, due to being traded, and subdued the enemy using his four strong arms. The two boys then each threw a Poké Ball, one of which captured Ninetales. Though Blue didn't object when Red claimed his ball had caught it, Blue argued that it was his Machamp that weakened it, so he should keep it, which he did.  
==={{MangaArc|Yellow}}===
In a flashback shown in ''[[PS051|Electro Magneton]]'', Machamp battled a wild {{p|Magneton}} in the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}} and used {{m|Focus Energy}} to increase his critical-hit ratio before defeating it with a strong finger thrust, though he injured a leg in the struggle.


Machamp wouldn't appear for quite some time until the [[Indigo League]] tournament, where he was pitted in a battle against {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Snor}}, Red's Snorlax, and with his powerful arms held Snor's arms and legs in place, then adeptly lifted the heavy Pokémon and subjected him to a combination of {{m|Submission}} and {{m|Slam}} attacks, drearily weakening him before sending Snor flying sky-high. However, the maneuverable Snorlax then exploited this opportunity by using an aerial {{m|Double-Edge}} attack combined with a {{m|Toxic}} that almost fainted Machamp, forcing Blue to recall the Pokémon.
==={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[File:Blue and Machamp.png|thumb|right|200px|Machamp and Blue]]
In ''[[PS274|Double Dealing with Deoxys]]'', Machamp is used in a double battle alongside {{TP|Blue|Scizor}} against Red and his Snor and [[Gyara]]. Scizor, with Machamp in his pincers, flies above Snor and drops Machamp, who proceeds to grab Snor's body and use {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Machamp follows up by rushing in front of Snor and performing {{m|Low Kick}}, tripping Snor and sending him crashing into the ground, knocking him out. Blue follows by having Scizor attack Gyara with {{m|Steel Wing}}, knocking him out too. Red next sends out [[Pika]] and [[Aero]] as his last two Pokémon. Red has Aero use {{m|Take Down}} on Scizor, which dealt no [[recoil]] damage due to his {{a|Rock Head}} [[Ability]]. Aero follows up with {{m|Dragon Claw}} on Scizor, so Blue switches him out for {{TP|Blue|Rhydon}}. Seeing an opening, Red has Pika attack Machamp with an electric attack. To Red's surprise, the attack is suddenly redirected. Blue smirks and reveals that Rhydon has the {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability, which causes all {{type|Electric}} moves to be redirected towards it. Since Pika's Electric attacks had no effect, Pika jumps into the air and delivers an {{m|Iron Tail}} onto Machamp's head. The battle ended in a tie.


He is then seen in flashback in {{PAV|4}} where he battles a wild {{p|Magneton}} in the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}} and uses {{m|Focus Energy}} to increase his critical-hit ratio before defeating it with a strong finger thrust, though he injured a leg in the struggle before.
In ''[[PS279|Don't Doubt Deoxys]]'', Blue sends out Machamp and Scizor to attack [[Orm]]'s horde of {{p|Shuckle}}, which had bound itself to Blue. Machamp blasts that Shuckle with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, while Scizor attacks with {{m|Metal Claw}}. Rhydon shows up from underground and defeats the head Shuckle, scattering the rest. Blue reveals that Scizor and Machamp were simply a diversion for Rhydon to attack.


Much later, he makes another appearance fighting Snor, this time with {{TP|Blue|Scizor}}'s help, in {{PAV|23}}. Here he wins easily with a strong {{m|Seismic Toss}} followed by the weight-targeting {{m|Low Kick}} maneuver. After being hit by [[Pika]]'s {{m|Iron Tail}}, the fight ends in a tie with both Red and Blue reaching their destination at the same time (and thereby unlocking the {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and {{m|Blast Burn}} moves). He fights [[Orm]]'s pack of Shuckle after this using his {{m|Hyper Beam}} but is unable to do much more than provide as a distraction, winning the fight for his owner when {{TP|Blue|Rhydon|Rhyperior}}'s {{m|Horn Drill}} finishes them off. He is also seen in [[Trainer Tower]] when Blue sends out all of his Pokémon to try to rescue his grandfather, but is not seen fighting.

In ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]'', Machamp appeared alongside the rest of Blue's team when he was checking to make sure they all survived the petrification caused by {{adv|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Darkrai}}.
 
==Personality and characteristics==
Like most of {{adv|Blue}}'s Pokémon Machamp is serious, calm, and focused. Machamp is slightly reserved as well and tries to stay out of the way unless he is needed. He is very loyal to his {{pkmn|Trainer}} and is the powerhouse of Blue's team, often overwhelming his opponents with his strength.

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

As a Machoke, temporarily owned by Red

Machamp first appeared as a Machoke in A Tale of Ninetales, when Machoke is accidentally traded to Red alongside Blue's other Pokémon. During the three days that Red has them, he attempts to get them to relax and open up to him, with little success. A few days later, during which the only new Pokémon Red had captured were a Krabby and Diglett due to their disobedience, Machoke was pitted in a battle against a wild Ninetales when Pika injured him using Toxic and forced him to run towards Red's new party. Though he initially failed to hold his own against the fox's intense flames, the tables turned when he suddenly evolved into a Machamp, due to being traded, and subdued the enemy using his four strong arms. The two boys each threw a Poké Ball, one of which captured Ninetales. Though Blue didn't object when Red claimed his ball had caught him, Blue argued that it was his Machamp that weakened him, so he should keep him, which he did. They then traded back each other's Pokémon, while keeping the caring attitude that Red installed in them.

Machamp in the Pokémon League

In A Charizard...and a Champion, Machamp battled against Red and his Snor during the Pokémon League. Machamp started off by blocking Snor with his four arms and preventing him from attacking. After a brief fight of strength, Machamp easily lifted Snor with his four arms before spinning him about with Submission to render Snor dizzy and slamming him onto the floor. After Snor hit the ground, Red quietly told Snor to use Harden in anticipation of Machamp's next attack. However, Machamp instead attacked the ground, using the shattered debris as a lever to catapult Snor into the air and out of the battlefield. Just as Snor was about to be disqualified for going out of bounds, he plummeted from mid-air and crushed Machamp with a Double-Edge and Toxic combo. Noting Machamp to be down to a third of his health, Blue sent Ninetales out in its place.

Yellow arc

In a flashback shown in Electro Magneton, Machamp battled a wild Magneton in the Power Plant and used Focus Energy to increase his critical-hit ratio before defeating it with a strong finger thrust, though he injured a leg in the struggle.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Machamp and Blue

In Double Dealing with Deoxys, Machamp is used in a double battle alongside Scizor against Red and his Snor and Gyara. Scizor, with Machamp in his pincers, flies above Snor and drops Machamp, who proceeds to grab Snor's body and use Seismic Toss. Machamp follows up by rushing in front of Snor and performing Low Kick, tripping Snor and sending him crashing into the ground, knocking him out. Blue follows by having Scizor attack Gyara with Steel Wing, knocking him out too. Red next sends out Pika and Aero as his last two Pokémon. Red has Aero use Take Down on Scizor, which dealt no recoil damage due to his Rock Head Ability. Aero follows up with Dragon Claw on Scizor, so Blue switches him out for Rhydon. Seeing an opening, Red has Pika attack Machamp with an electric attack. To Red's surprise, the attack is suddenly redirected. Blue smirks and reveals that Rhydon has the Lightning Rod Ability, which causes all Electric-type moves to be redirected towards it. Since Pika's Electric attacks had no effect, Pika jumps into the air and delivers an Iron Tail onto Machamp's head. The battle ended in a tie.

In Don't Doubt Deoxys, Blue sends out Machamp and Scizor to attack Orm's horde of Shuckle, which had bound itself to Blue. Machamp blasts that Shuckle with Hyper Beam, while Scizor attacks with Metal Claw. Rhydon shows up from underground and defeats the head Shuckle, scattering the rest. Blue reveals that Scizor and Machamp were simply a diversion for Rhydon to attack.

Emerald arc

In The Final Battle VII, Machamp appeared alongside the rest of Blue's team when he was checking to make sure they all survived the petrification caused by Mewtwo and Darkrai.

Like most of Blue's Pokémon Machamp is serious, calm, and focused. Machamp is slightly reserved as well and tries to stay out of the way unless he is needed. He is very loyal to his Trainer and is the powerhouse of Blue's team, often overwhelming his opponents with his strength.
