Toby

Toby (Japanese: トビオ Tobio) is the character of the day in A Maractus Musical!. He is the Trainer of three Maractus, nicknamed "Marra" (Japanese: マーくん Maa-kun), "Racca" (Japanese: ラーくん Raa-kun), and "Tussy" (Japanese: カッチン Cacchin), who perform as the musical group The Maractus Trio (Japanese: トリオ・ザ・マラカッチ Trio the Maracacchi). He wished to enter his Pokémon in a Pokémon Musical in Nimbasa City and was on his way there when he met Ash and his friends. He thought entering a "Pokémon Performance contest" would help him prepare for the musical in Nimbasa. His ultimate goal was to get The Maractus Trio to become famous and help bring Musicals back to his hometown.

Toby had made up a performance for The Maractus Trio known as "Over the Rainbow". Marra and Racca did their parts well but Tussy found it difficult, so the group constantly crashed to the ground. He later has a Triple Battle with Ash to help Tussy improve, but to no avail. Toby had the trio try the technique again but Tussy ends up sending the group crashing to the ground once again. Frustrated by Tussy's constant failures, he yelled at it causing it to run away. He and Ash later found Tussy being attacked by a wild Scolipede. Toby jumped in front of Tussy and told it to run, but Tussy would not listen. Instead, Tussy jumped onto Scolipede to distract it from Toby, where it eventually jumped off and was caught by Marra and Racca, finally managing to balance on Marra and Racca's arms.

Afterwards, Toby apologized to Tussy for becoming frustrated before they all rushed to the Pokémon Performance contest which was already underway. There, The Maractus Trio was able to perform "Over the Rainbow" and win the contest.

Toby's Marra and Racca
Marra and Racca
Marra (Japanese: マーくん Maa-kun) and Racca (Japanese: ラーくん Raa-kun) are two of three of Toby's Maractus that perform together in a musical group. He caught them along with Tussy while traveling through the desert. Their part in the "Over the Rainbow" performance was to use Round with Tussy and then use Petal Dance before locking hands in mid air. They would then spin and use Pin Missile during their descent. The next phase was to have Tussy jump on their arms and use Sunny Day to complete the performance. However, their partner had difficulty first at landing then staying on their arms.

Marra's and Racca's known moves are Round, Petal Dance and Pin Missile.

Toby's Tussy
Tussy
Tussy (Japanese: カッチン Cacchin) is one of three of Toby's Maractus that performs in a musical group. It is identifiable by its smaller size and the orange bandana it wears. Toby captured it along with Marra and Racca while traveling through a desert. Tussy struggled to perform the "Over the Rainbow" performance with Marra and Racca because it could not land on their arms correctly. With a little help from Iris's Emolga, Tussy was able to learn how to land after performing a jump.

However it ran into another problem which was its fear of heights. Being able to land on Marra and Racca's arms, Tussy would become frightened and flail its arms trying to stay balanced. Toby became frustrated with Tussy's constant failures which ultimately caused it to run away from its Trainer. After seeing he was willing to put himself in danger to protect it from Scolipede, it successfully performed the technique and used it again during the Pokémon Performance contest.

Tussy's known moves are Round, Pin Missile and Sunny Day.

Trivia

  • The nicknames of all three of Toby's Pokémon together form "Maracacchi", the Japanese name of Maractus. This was carried on to the dub as all the dubbed nicknames, sans the second syllables, form "Maractus".
