Roaming Pokémon

A '''roaming Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|移動|いどう}}してるポケモン''' ''migrating Pokémon'') is a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] that, instead of remaining in one place as a special event, runs around the region it appears in, seemingly at random. Roaming Pokémon appeared in every [[core series]] game from Generations {{gen|II}} to {{gen|VI}} except {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Mechanics==
{{incomplete|section|When are IVs, natures, and personality determined? Double-check whether roaming Pokémon in Generation III will attempt to flee if they are able to after the first turn}}
In addition to changing [[route]]s (something that happens every time the {{player}} moves to a new area), roaming Pokémon will also attempt to flee from battle.

===Generation II===
When encountering a roaming Pokémon for the first time, their HP and [[DV]]s are initialized. Those stats remain static once generated. This means that Shiny Pokémon will remain Shiny, and any damage that has been inflicted to them will remain across battles. However, their [[PP]] and [[status condition]]s are reset each time they flee.

In addition to moving around each time the player changes map, all currently roaming Pokémon will also move after each battle with a 1/16 chance (always, if the player just encountered a roaming Pokémon, not merely the one they have just encountered).

There is a 1/8N chance that a roaming Pokémon will move to a completely random map other than the one the player is on, where N is the amount of possible connections to where the roaming Pokémon is at the moment. Otherwise, a roaming Pokémon will move to an adjacent route. A roaming Pokémon will never move past [[Olivine City|Olivine]], meaning that if it is currently on [[Route 39]], it will always move to [[Route 38]].

Each time the player steps in [[tall grass]] that is currently in the same area as a roaming Pokémon, and the game attempts to generate a wild Pokémon, the player has a 25/256 (or roughly 10%) chance of randomly encountering it.

A roaming Pokémon will flee on any turn it is able to, immediately before it would use its move; if it is unable to flee, it will instead use its prepared move. Since the roaming Pokémon in Generation II all know moves with different priorities, depending on the move they are prepared to use, the player's Pokémon may sometimes act before it flees and sometimes not.

The player can stop a roaming Pokémon from fleeing by using {{cat|trapping moves}} (such as {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Wrap}}). {{status|Sleep}} and {{status|freeze}} also prevent the Pokémon from fleeing.

If a roaming Pokémon is defeated, it will not reappear under any conditions.

===Generation III===
The chance of encountering a roaming Pokémon is now 25%, given that a wild encounter has successfully been generated in tall grass or water in the same area as a roaming Pokémon. Roaming Pokémon are affected by {{cat|Repels}} but not {{cat|Abilities that affect appearance of wild Pokémon}}.

From Generation III onward, if a roaming Pokémon is afflicted by a {{DL|status condition|non-volatile status condition}}, it will retain those effects in subsequent encounters.

If a roaming Pokémon is not already trapped, each turn it will attempt to flee at an effective [[priority]] of 0 instead of using a move. If it becomes trapped in the battle during the turn, it will attempt to flee but fail. If it is already trapped at the start of a turn, it will use a move instead of attempting to flee.

A roaming Pokémon can become trapped if it is hit by a {{cat|trapping moves|trapping move}} before it is able to act. {{cat|Trapping Abilities}} (such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}) can only prevent the Pokémon from attempting to flee if in place at the start of the turn; if a Pokémon with a trapping Ability is switched in, its Ability will not prevent the roaming Pokémon from fleeing on that turn if it is able. Status conditions do not prevent a roaming Pokémon from fleeing.

===Generation IV===
Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a roaming Pokémon, it will reappear when the player next enters the [[Hall of Fame]], but the player must retrigger its roaming. For example, if the player defeats {{p|Mesprit}} and then enters the Hall of Fame, Mesprit will only begin roaming again once the player visits [[Lake Verity|Verity Cavern]].

===Generation V===
If a roaming Pokémon is not already trapped, each turn it will attempt to flee at an effective [[priority]] of -7 instead of using a move. If it becomes trapped (either by a {{cat|trapping moves|trapping move}} or {{cat|trapping Abilities|Ability}}) before it is able to act, it will attempt to flee but fail.

If the player defeats a roaming Pokémon, it will reappear when the player next enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

===Generation VI===
A roaming Pokémon will flee unconditionally after the player sends out their Pokémon. It will become stationary in a specific area after the player encounters it 11 times. Not even {{a|Shadow Tag}} will prevent it from fleeing.

If a roaming Pokémon is defeated, it will reappear in its stationary position the next time the player enters the Hall of Fame.

==={{g|Sword and Shield}}===
Unlike in previous games, roaming Pokémon no longer flee once encountered. They appear in the overworld and must be caught up to in order to be encountered.

==Tracking==
In Generations II, III, and VI, players can use their [[Pokédex]] to check the current location of a roaming Pokémon (after they have seen it). In Generation IV, the [[Pokétch]]'s {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}}{{sup/4|DPPt}} application and the [[Pokégear]]'s map card{{sup/4|HGSS}} serve this purpose. In Generation V, the player can track their locations using the notifications of {{weather|rain|stormy weather}} on electric bulletin boards in [[gate]]s.

==List of roaming Pokémon==
===Generation II===
The [[Legendary beasts]] are found roaming [[Johto]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}; however, Suicune is not roaming in Crystal, where it instead can be found at the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. They can be captured at any point after they are disturbed by the player in [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

===Generation III===
====Hoenn====
The [[Eon duo|Eon Pokémon]] can be caught in [[Hoenn]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Only one will roam Hoenn; the other can be obtained on [[Southern Island]] with the [[Eon Ticket]]. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the roaming Pokémon will depend on the color of Pokémon that the player tells their {{ho|Mom}} was on the TV; red will result in Latias roaming, while blue will result in Latios roaming. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the roaming Pokémon will have low [[individual values]] due to the {{DL|List of battle glitches (Generation III)|Roaming Pokémon IV bug}}.

One of the three [[Legendary beasts]] will roam [[Kanto]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, depending on the type weakness of the player's chosen [[starter Pokémon]] (Raikou for {{p|Squirtle}}, Entei for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, Suicune for {{p|Charmander}}). It will commence roaming the Kanto mainland after the player defeats [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]] and delivers the {{i|Sapphire}} to [[Celio]]. It will have low IVs due to the {{DL|List of glitches (Generation III)|Roaming Pokémon IV bug}}, and if it uses {{m|Roar}} to [[escape|flee]], it will disappear permanently due to the {{DL|List of battle glitches (Generation III)|roaming Roar bug}}.

===Generation IV===
In all Generation IV games, entering a gate does not cause roaming Pokémon to change routes, even if the player's location changes as a result.
====Sinnoh====
Sinnoh has five roaming Pokémon, each of which is available in the wild after certain events have taken place. {{p|Mesprit}} will roam after the player goes to [[Lake Verity]] after defeating [[Team Galactic]] at [[Mt. Coronet]], {{p|Cresselia}} will appear after the player helps cure [[Eldritch]]'s son's nightmares, and the [[Legendary birds]] will appear in {{v2|Platinum}} only after the player first talks to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]].

====Johto and Kanto====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Raikou and Entei will roam [[Johto]] after meeting them in the [[Burned Tower]]. After leaving the Vermilion City [[Pokémon Fan Club]] house with {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s doll, Latios or Latias will start roaming [[Kanto]].

|}

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, after obtaining the {{Badge|Legend}}, when entering the [[gate]] leading to {{rt|10|Unova}}, the woman behind the desk will alert the player about the big storm on {{rt|7|Unova}}. {{p|Tornadus}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Thundurus}}{{sup/5|W}} will make the weather more extreme in {{rt|7|Unova}} when entering the route. Heading towards the second house on the route will cause an old lady to come out and pull the player in. She will then recite the story of either {{p|Tornadus}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Thundurus}}{{sup/5|W}}. Upon exiting the house, the player will be approached by the respective Pokémon, which will then fly off and will roam around [[Unova]] until being caught or defeated. Wherever these Pokémon appear will be subject to weather identified as "stormy" by the bulletin boards in [[gate]]s. Only these two Pokémon can cause stormy weather (which manifests as {{weather|rain}} in-battle), so they can be tracked down using the bulletin boards.

Unlike other generations, the roaming Pokémon's location varies depending on the [[Time|time of day]]. At night, between midnight and morning, the Pokémon can only be encountered in [[Route]]s {{rtn|12|Unova}}, {{rtn|13|Unova}}, {{rtn|14|Unova}} and {{rtn|15|Unova}}, in the morning it can only be encountered in Routes {{rtn|2|Unova}}, {{rtn|3|Unova}} and {{rtn|18|Unova}}, during the daytime it can only be encountered in Routes {{rtn|4|Unova}}, {{rtn|5|Unova}} and {{rtn|16|Unova}}, in the evening it can only be encountered in Routes {{rtn|6|Unova}}, {{rtn|7|Unova}} and {{rtn|8|Unova}} and at night before midnight it can only be encountered in Routes {{rtn|9|Unova}}, {{rtn|10|Unova}} and {{rtn|11|Unova}}.

Bulletin boards can be considered somewhat inferior to the tracking methods of previous generations, as, unlike Generation IV, Tornadus or Thundurus's location changes when the player exits the gate. However, as they simply cycle between three or four routes, one may continuously re-enter and exit the same gate until the route displays stormy weather.

|}

===Generation VI===
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], one of the Legendary birds roams the [[Kalos]] region, depending on the chosen [[starter Pokémon]]: {{p|Articuno}} if the chosen starter Pokémon was {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Zapdos}} if it was {{p|Fennekin}}, and {{p|Moltres}} if it was {{p|Froakie}}. It will begin to roam after the player has defeated the {{kal|Pokémon League}}, and it will always be the first wild Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass]] after the Pokémon League has been defeated.

If the player uses {{m|Fly}}, the roaming Pokémon will relocate to a random location. Traveling normally, on the other hand, will only provide a small chance for the roaming Pokémon to change routes, and even then it will move to an adjacent route. Furthermore, entering any of the connecting gates between cities (or {{kal|Victory Road}}) may cause the roaming Pokémon to relocate randomly. This appears to be on a timer, however, as immediately pursuing the roaming Pokémon does not seem to cause it to change location.

As the bird will automatically flee upon encounter, it cannot be caught until after it has been encountered an additional 10 times (not counting the first encounter), and has subsequently retreated to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]] in [[Azure Bay]], where it remains as a stationary Pokémon. However, if the battle in the Sea Spirit's Den is fled from, the bird will begin roaming Kalos again as before.

All three are coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

===Generation VIII===
====Galar====
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]'s [[Crown Tundra]], the {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s of the Legendary birds appear. Once the player has encountered them at the [[Dyna Tree Hill]], they will become roaming Pokémon in the overworld. Articuno roams around the Crown Tundra, Zapdos roams around the [[Wild Area]], and Moltres roams around the [[Isle of Armor]]. If the player knocks any of the birds out, it respawns instantly.

All three are coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

Aggron989: just clearing this out since I'm not super active and it's really outdated anyway

I don't really exist much here anymore, but I sometimes lurk and may fix things as I see them. I was much more active back in 2014-2015 but life became much busier, as it does. If you happen to be reading this I hope you have a great day :)

'''Koga''' (Japanese: '''キョウ''' ''Kyō'') was the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Gym]]. He is a student of ninjutsu who specializes in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He handed out the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him.

He became a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] some time after the events of [[Generation I]] and its remakes, but before the events of [[Generation II]] and its remakes, thus leaving his daughter [[Janine]] in charge of the [[Fuchsia Gym]].

==In the core series games==
Koga, known as the Poisonous Ninja Master, serves two roles in the Pokémon games. In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he is the Leader of the [[Fuchsia Gym]], but is promoted to a member of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]] in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Koga is a user of the {{type|Poison}}; he likes the despair and horror that Poison-type Pokémon can inflict on others.

Koga has studied medicine and antidotes; he makes his own potions to heal his Pokémon. He also serves as a teacher. Many students come to him to be trained in the arts of {{wp|Ninjutsu}} and Pokémon. One of his students is his own daughter, [[Janine]], who takes over his Gym in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} storyline. In addition to these roles, Koga also patrols the grounds of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], to ensure that the players of the Safari Game are safe from the [[wild Pokémon]] within.

In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Koga's Gym is typically the fifth Gym to be challenged. He has built invisible walls in the Fuchsia City Gym, constructing a confusing maze out of them. Koga awaits challengers in the center of the maze, clearly visible, but a group of Koga's students must be fought first. Defeating him will earn the successful Trainer the [[TM]] for {{m|Toxic}} and the {{Badge|Soul}}.

With the future of the Gym in his daughter's hands, Koga advances to a role in the Pokémon League of Kanto and Johto before the events of Generations II and IV. In these games, he is the second member of the Elite Four to be faced. The team he uses in this role is similar to his Gym Leader's teams; the main difference is the introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}. Koga's battle style as an Elite Four member is designed to confound and destroy his opponent in battle. Rather than using brute force, Koga attempts to [[status condition|confuse, put to sleep, and poison]] his opponent.

He speaks with a Japanese accent, as evidenced in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

[[File:Koga anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Koga in the [[original series]]]]
[[File:Koga Best Wishes.png|thumb|220px|Koga in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Koga appeared in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He operates the [[Fuchsia Gym]] in the woods outside [[Fuchsia City]]. {{an|Aya}}, Koga's younger sister, is one of his students.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} managed to overcome the Gym's traps before meeting Koga, and Ash challenged him to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. During the match, [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] initially lost to Koga's [[Evolution|newly-evolved]] {{p|Venomoth}}, prompting Ash to call out {{AP|Charmander}}. However, their match was interrupted when {{TRT}} tried to steal Koga's large supply of Voltorb, even though they originally raided the Gym with the intent of getting {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. Team Rocket was eventually stopped by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s unexpectedly powerful {{m|Confusion}} attack. Koga then offered to [[trade]] his Venomoth for Psyduck, but {{an|Misty}} declined. Ash and Koga then had a [[rematch]]; pitting Charmander against [[Koga's Golbat]], Ash triumphed and won the {{Badge|Soul}}.

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

====Character====
Koga is dedicated to perfecting his {{pkmn|battle|battling}} techniques. Like the traps in his [[Gym]], he attempts to confuse and disorientate his opponents to get the upper hand during a match.

The battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}, and afterwards, Koga offered to trade Venomoth to {{an|Misty}} for her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, but she declined.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Koga Aya EToP.png|thumb|200px|Koga in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Koga makes a cameo appearance in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

In the manga, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} get trapped in [[Fuchsia Gym|Koga's Gym]] while searching for the [[Hidden Village]] with {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}}, a {{p|Charmander}}, a {{p|Squirtle}}, a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{OBP|Tommy|EP034}}. Their battle is only shown briefly in a montage sequence and it is unknown whether Team Rocket was victorious or not. It is also never shown if {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} himself battles Koga.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Koga makes a brief cameo in ''[[PPP13|The Wal Comes Tumbling Down]]''. [[Walnut]], an aspiring ninja master, mentions that Koga is a big inspiration to him.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|220px|thumb|Koga in Pokémon Adventures]]
Koga uses custom-made [[Poké Ball]]s that can be thrown as {{wp|shuriken}}—perhaps an inspiration for [[Falkner]]'s later boomerang Poké Balls.

====History====
====={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Koga is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and serves under {{adv|Giovanni}}.

Koga debuts in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', where he is searching the [[Moon Stone]] in [[Mt. Moon]]. Here, Koga fights with {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] and forces his Rhyhorn to evolve with a mysterious injection, revealing what happened to Misty's Gyarados when it was kidnapped, but the mission fails. Koga later tries to scare off Red in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], and uses a Gastly to reanimate the corpses of dead Pokémon buried there. He also attacks Red with his Arbok. However, {{adv|Blue}} has his {{p|Charmeleon}} slice Arbok in half. Under his boss's orders, he captures {{p|Articuno}} and brings it to [[Saffron City]]. He is once again defeated by Blue at [[Silph Co.]], albeit that he almost killed both of them by not allowing them to reach their Poké Balls by using his Muk, then almost freezing them to death with his Articuno. After he is defeated and knocked out, Red claims Koga's Soul Badge and Blue uses his special Golbat to find out where [[Team Rocket]] is holding his grandfather.

====={{chap|Yellow}}=====
Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] at [[Cerise Island]]. Koga is paired with Blue and battles Agatha, but Blue first returns his Golbat to him. When the two of them finally meet Agatha in a cave, she uses her Arbok to cause stalactites to rain down on them, separating them. Agatha then makes Blue and Koga's Golbat (that he got paired up with again) face Agatha's Golbat. Meanwhile, Koga's Arbok had to face Agatha's Arbok, which could change its patterns, allowing it to gain the upper hand over Koga. When Blue was paralyzed from a Haunter's Lick, Koga started throwing his shuriken balls. Agatha thought this was a desperate tactic, but in reality they were Pokémon holding Paralyze Heals. Koga was hoping at least one of them would get to Blue, which it did. Blue then joins him, and Koga commands his Golbat to use Leech Life on himself. His blood is then put on Arbok's torso to prevent its ability to change its pattern. Without Arbok's ability, Agatha was seemingly defeated.

However, in reality, Agatha just pretended to be defeated and had her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly suck the life out of them. The two did not realize this at first, and reasoned Koga's loss of energy was due to his sudden loss of a large amount of blood. After traveling through the maze of stalactites for a while, they found themselves back where they started with Agatha nowhere to be found. They then figured out her plan and defeated the Gengar, but not before Koga is nearly crushed in the collapsing terrain of the destroyed battleground. He narrowly escapes using his {{p|Muk}} to defend him in his wounded state.

====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Unlike the other two Rocket Admins, who were instructed to return and manage their Gyms, Koga was not even reached by Giovanni. He then disappears for a time, leaving his daughter [[Janine]] in charge of the Gym. Janine is worried for her father, but opposes his criminal ties. Later, Koga reappeared with a new partner, [[Bruno]], who had saved Koga when Cerise was about to collapse. They trained together for a while and both of them later met their former opponents Red and Blue, whose Rhydon was drilling underground towards [[Ilex Forest]]. Towards the end of the series, Koga and Bruno found [[Will]] and [[Karen]] in the Ilex Forest and persuaded them to work together. The new Elite Four is formed.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
After long absence, Koga returns, along with the rest of the Elite Four, in ''[[PS443|Attaway, Aipom!]]''. They face {{adv|Gold}} in the [[Pokéathlon]] Power Course, with Koga taking part in the Circle Push event and easily winning it. Despite this, however, Gold manages to later make a comeback in the final event and win the course.

In its evolved form, it was too much for both Red and Misty to handle, and they had to escape the battle by distracting Rhydon with an electrically charged boulder. It hasn't been seen again.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Rock Throw}} and {{m|Horn Drill}}.}}

Even though Red stopped one attempt, Team Rocket was finally able to catch this legendary bird because of its energy loss, and had it sent over for Koga afterwards. During the battle between Red, Blue, Green and [[Lt. Surge]], Koga and [[Sabrina]], it was merged with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} to create {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}} after Sabrina took matters into her own hands. Once defeated and freed, it returned to the wild, where it was later caught by {{adv|Green}} alongside its fellow [[Legendary birds]].}}

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Koga PM.png|thumb|200px|Koga in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Koga PM 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Koga as a Johto Elite Four member]]
Koga first appears in ''[[PM015|Save The Chansey!!]]''. He is depicted as having a greedy personality.

He hires a Chansey torturer to kidnap the {{p|Chansey}} as they were valuable to him, something he only cared about. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} sneaks in with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} to take the Chansey. After getting caught though, Koga releases {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Grimer}} to stall Red and his Pokémon. However, Clefairy defeats them both, one by one, and rescues the Chansey.

In ''[[PM019|Aim to be the No. 1 Pokémon!!]]'', he was revealed to have registered for the No. 1 Pokémon Contest. His did not have his greed this time and it wore off since then. Koga participates with Ninetales but loses since Ninetales did not dazzle the audience.

After Red's travels in Johto, Koga is revealed to have joined the Johto Elite Four in ''[[PM105|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]''. He, along with [[Will]] and [[Bruno]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. Red asks them what happened, but Koga asks him to ask Karen herself. It is later revealed that after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a joke, and they fell down the building after hearing her dumb joke.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Koga|40}} appears as a {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion pack of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Out of the original [[Generation I]] [[Gym Leader]]s, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG.
* Koga is the first [[Elite Four]] member who was introduced in an earlier [[generation]] and then attained the title in a later generation.
* Koga is the only Gym Leader introduced as of [[Generation V]] who does not appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This is due to his status as an Elite Four member in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games.
* Koga uses a {{p|Venomoth}} on his team in all of the games in which [[Sabrina]] does not use one on her team, and vice-versa.
* Koga and [[Janine]] are the only two Gym Leaders to have the same slogan in different generations.
* Koga appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], where he uses a {{p|Crobat}}.

<big><big><big>Please don't post about Charizard's gender being unknown. It's very annoying. Our policy is that the gender stays unknown until someone in the anime calls it a male or female.</big></big></big>

==Archives==
*[[Talk:Ash's Charizard/Archive 1|Archive 1]] (discussions from January 14, 2007 – January 4, 2009)

__TOC__

==Ability==
I'm not sure if it should be editted in, but since Charizard DO only have {{a|Blaze|one ability}}, shouldn't Charizard's ability be listed as Blaze? Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - [[User:Sk8torchic|Sk8torchic]]. 16:27, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Unlike [[May's Blaziken]] and [[Ash's Chimchar]], it has yet to show its ability in the anime. Yes, in the games, it has only one ability.. But since it's the anime, we are clueless of what the writers could do. D: '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 16:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

If Charizard comes back in the D&P League then maybe they could have ash mention it while he is there {{unsigned|MR115}}

==Steel Wing==
Text says it used it in the fight against Kevin, table says in battle against Brandon. What's right? --×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 16:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

==Protected?==
Why is this page protected? I was just going to add a bit of trivia about it. [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 07:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
:Someone keeps adding images. Try checking the article's history next time. :D [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 07:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
::Can an admin add that until ''Charizard Chills'', Charizard only seems to want to obey Ash while fighting another Fire Pokemon? (Blaine's Magmar, Mewtwo's cloned Charizard, and Richie's Charmander) [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 07:18, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

==Fly?==
Unlike the situation with Ash's squirtle and Surf (Ash's squirtle has never outright used or was issued to use the ''move'' Surf) Ash's Charizard actually learned to fly with ash on its back in Charizards Burning Ambition. Although it has never been used in battle Charizard did explicitly learn it so should it be counted as a move it knows? -- [[User:D558|D558]] 01:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
:I agree. Also, unless I'm mistaken, Ash has commanded charizard to "Use Fly!" on multiple occosions, especially in Fighting Flyer with Fire. I think someone should add it. --[[User:Gen1king|''GEN'']]1[[User talk:Gen1king|KING]] 01:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
::Nope, this issue has already been resolved before. See [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Charizard&diff=906293&oldid=906286 here]. --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 01:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
:::Actually if you watch "Charizard Chills" Ash says "Charizard Fly" which can be taken as Charizard using the fly move to get up out of range of attacks but(if it was in the game) missing with the next attack. Though truth be told a lot of the moves in the anime are way different to the games as in the anime Pikachu's Agility and Quick Attack are pretty much the same as Pikachu has always hit the opponent when using Agility. So in truth we probably shouldn't list attacks at all since they could be inaccurate.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 11:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== Mega Punch ==

I think it should be noted in the moves section that Ash commanded Charizard to use Mega Punch in Charizard Chills, which implies that he had learned it. --[[User:Gen1king|''GEN'']]1[[User talk:Gen1king|KING]] 05:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== '''Fire Spin?''' ==

Episode 32 of the season 1 [[The Ninja Poké-Showdown]] during the battle between Koga's Golbat and Ash's Charmander, was the first time [[Fire Spin]] was used by Ash's Charmander, not as Charizard in Fighting Flyer with Fire. {{unsigned|Pookiemon}}
--[[User:Pookiemon|Pookiemon]] 21:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

== Charizard Disobeying Ash ==
Can someone put a picture of Ash's CHarizard ingnoring his orders? I uploaded one but the admins removed it.

[[User:Pedraito|Pedraito]] 22:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
*I agree, Charizard either disobeying or attacking Ash has been a huge part of its character and would be appropriate for an image to be placed on here of either one. I have one from [[AG189]] that would work well, and it's in good quality... [[User:Johno1995|Johno1995]] 03:05, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Uh, Oh... ==

Who changed the main picture of Ash's Charizard? I like it a lot better, but there was already a debate about this. I '''seriously''' hope this doesn't lead to another edit-war... --[[User:Gen1king|'''GE''']][[User talk:Gen1king|'''N1''']][[Special:Contributions/Gen1king|'''KI''''''NG''']] 04:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== Charizard's Gender ==

Given that [[DP149]] confirmed without a doubt that Pokémon of the same gender cannot fall in love then doesn't this mean that, due to the romance with Charla, Charizard is ''definitely'' male? [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 16:57, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
:In that case, we do have proof that Ash's Torterra is a male Pokémon but we can't put it until or unless it is clearly said or mentioned in the anime. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 17:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
::Look at this big note on the top bar of this discussion page.
::''Please don't post about Charizard's gender being unknown. It's very annoying. Our policy is that the gender stays unknown until someone in the anime calls it a male or female.''
::So, discussion ends here. Thank you. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 17:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Charizard's voice in EP271 ==

I posted this at [[Talk:EP271]], but figured that it would probably get more notice/traffic here. I was watching the raw version of [[EP271]] (Ash's battle vs Harrison), and I noticed that the voice Charizard uses when it is sent out at the end is considerably different from the one used in the English dub in the same shot. As far as I'm aware Charizard's voice has been the same between the two versions throughout the series, with this one shot being the sole exception. Is there any information out there on who substituted Charizard's voice for this one shot, and why that change was made? It's probably worth noting in both articles if the information is out there. [[User:Matkin22|Matkin22]] 03:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

== Fly ==

So its not listed under moves anymore but there's a picture with a caption: "Using Fly". Should it stay there?--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 02:55, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

== Can't Edit ==

Is there a reason Charizard's page is locked, I can't find the edit button, so that's what I'm assuming has happened. There's just a minor grammer problem I was going to fix, nothing major. - [[User:Ash1Ketchum4|Ash1Ketchum4]] 18:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:The page is not locked, and the Edit buttons are next to each section heading like they're supposed to be, along with the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 18:31, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
::Actually the page is locked for unestablished users. Certain pages have been subject to edit wars by newly registered users so they're protected so only established users may edit. Just point out what you'd like fixed here and someone should take care of it. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 18:35, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
No Problem, in the History section in the 6th paragraph one of the sentences says, "Liza occasionally visit the..." It should be "Liza occasionally visit'''s''' the..." Again it's nothing major, just a grammatical error I noticed. Thanks. - [[User:Ash1Ketchum4|Ash1Ketchum4]] 18:59, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

== Removed trivia? ==

I just noticed that [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Charizard&diff=1437708&oldid=1430768 this (relatively) recent revision] removed a bunch of trivia that seems to be correct. Is there a reason why this was removed? [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 02:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
:The reason the said trivia was removed was because we did a clean-out of all comparison trivia in articles expecially articles having to do with the anime. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 02:25, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

== Damian ==

On Damian's page the template of Charmander implies that it is male, despite on the main article, it says that Charizard's gender is unknown. Should I delete the male sign? --[[User:YoshisWorld|YoshisWorld]] 14:26, 14 July 2011 (UTC)YoshisWorld

== Reopening the Fly discussion ==

Just a point of consistency on this website. Literally every single time a Pokemon is ordered to use its agility, this Wiki takes that to mean {{m|Agility}}, regardless of whether the Pokémon is able to use that move ([[Gary's Umbreon]]). However, in the battle between Charizard and Blastoise, Ash quite clearly ordered Charizard to "fly", which followed by Charizard flying into the air and then diving down to attack. Fly is obviously a hard one to place because of its status as a verb, but if we are classifying "agility" (which I maintain just means the same thing as "dodge it!") I believe that at least this instance should count for Fly.

== Question ==

If Damian was Charmander's trainer, how does Ash was able to capture it? I mean, Damian was suppose to still have Charmander's pokéball, right? (and you can't capture a captured pokémon o.o --[[User:AfO|AfO]] 04:23, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
:IIRC, Damien released Charmander.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 04:27, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
::I don't recall Damian officially releasing Charmander, but I think Pokemon can release themselves. Like they hint {{AP|Snivy}} did, then the Frillish in [[BW037]] releasing the contest Pokémon on her own. That being said, I think Charmander made it clear he didn't want to be Damian's Pokémon anymore, and released himself.

== Lock ==

Should we lock this page because of the rumor of the Charizard that appears in the N arc being Ash's Charizard? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 20:26, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
:As of now, it's just a rumor, so I say no. But I think it'd be best to take it up with {{u|Kenji-girl}}. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 20:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

==Unlock==

Shouldn't we put at the top that it will be unlocked once the Kanto festival episode airs since it is now confirmed that it is indeed Ash's Charizard that returns that episode??[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 18:19, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

== BW116? ==

I can see why was the page locked (too many edit wars in this page), but you should have at least written "Ash' Charizard is going to reappear in BW116" already. It is confirmed! {{unsigned|BlueWartortle}}

== Charizard finally used a Flying-type move. Is it trivia worthy? ==

In [[BW116]], Charizard finally used a {{t|Flying|Flying-type}} move ({{m|Wing Attack}}) for the first time. Is it trivia worthy to mention that Charizard learned a Flying-type move almost 20 years and 727 episodes after his evolution back in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 17:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

== Left the Valley? ==

Is it safe to say at some point in time, Charizard finished its training in Charizard Valley and then went to Prof. Oak? Or is "speculation not allowed on this wiki"? [[User:Mr.Char|Mr.Char]] ([[User talk:Mr.Char|talk]]) 22:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

== Charizard's Gender (male):==
In Pokémon '''official''''s site, I found a summary where it calls Charizard as a 'he':
ChecK: http://s1224.photobucket.com/user/XOzelinkOX/media/1-1_zps639f37f7.png.html?sort=3&o=4
Also, watching BW season 2 episode 32 (where Charizards appears), there were many scenes where Ash addressed Charizard as 'he' and 'his'.
'''LOOK:'''

'''then at ''the right side'' there's a botton that says ''OPTION'', click it and ''click DOWNLOAD'' and you'll see the image in full view.'''

All this plus Charizard's infatuation towards Charla (who's a female, wears a pink ribbon and has eyelashes). Indicate that he is male.
--[[User:MsIsamisa|MsIsamisa]] ([[User talk:MsIsamisa|talk]]) 00:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
:A) That website is for the dub only, not the original. We already note that it is confirmed male in the dub. B) Fan subs prove nothing. Gender pronouns do not exist in Japanese. C) While the infatuation strongly implies that it's male, it's still not concrete evidence. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
If you said that 'We already note that it '''is confirmed''' male in the dub', then change the gender to male, then. --[[User:MsIsamisa|MsIsamisa]] ([[User talk:MsIsamisa|talk]]) 21:22, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
:It's only listed as confirmed completely when it's confirmed in the original Japanese version. Otherwise it's listed as Charizard is now, unknown, but male in the dub. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 21:25, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== Voice Actor/actress ==

Watching the recent episodes again, anyone noticed that Charizard's roars sound different from previous episodes? I don't think it's [[Shin'ichirō_Miki]] voicing him in BW. [[User:Hitmonchan107|Hitmonchan107]] ([[User talk:Hitmonchan107|talk]]) 05:58, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

== Moves Improvised ==

Should there be a double {{m|Flamethrower}} under the Moves Improvised section from [[BW121]]? I'm asking because it has a similar thing where {{AP|Monferno}} and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} used it in [[DP147]]. {{unsigned|Mokes1995}}

== Info box Picture ==

Can we not get a better pic of Charizard from BW? One where he is closer to the "camera" and his face is shown? The picture isn't really consistent with the shots of his other Pokémon. {{unsigned|Charmander4}}

== If we don't document on the strength of Ash's Pokémon, then... ==

Why is Charizard an exception to this rule? As it has been pointed out, noting the strength of a Pokémon is rather opinionated, which is not something we want. Shouldn't this be removed? [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here! The one and only...Uncle Edit!]] ([[User talk:Uncle Edit|talk]]) 20:27, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

== Present Location ==

There's nothing in the last BW episode implying Charizard stayed at Oak's lab. All we know is that he was there for a picture. Charizard could've very easily returned to the Charicific Valley... it's kinda like with Gliscor after the Lily of the Valley Conference, until that episode confirmed his whereabouts. So should we say Charizard's status is unknown? [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 16:34, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:Oak's lab was Charizard's last known location, so that's what is on the page unless it gets confirmed otherwise. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 20:13, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

AmourShipping

2016-03-13T22:34:38Z

Aggron989: /* Anime evidence */ Neither of these are really hints.

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring Meowth.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about Aria's Fennekin. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Serena high fived with Ash.

*''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
:*When Ash and friends are using one of Clemont's machines to randomly decide the two who going in the submarine together, Serena unhesitatingly chooses the same arrow as Ash, before either of the siblings can.
:*When Ash attempts to stop Team Rocket from escaping, Serena tries to stop him because of the danger involved.

*''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''
:*When Ash is rock climbing in [[Cyllage Gym]], the camera focuses on a worried Serena.
:*Before the battle between Ash and [[Grant]] starts, Serena is very worried. She clasps her hands together which catches the notice of Bonnie and Clemont. She then begins to blush and, at one point, tears up when thinking about how hard Ash has trained.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*[[Miette]] asks Ash teasingly if he has a future bride in mind (in reference to Bonnie asking women to have her brother Clemont) to see how Serena would react. Serena is shown to be paying close attention from the corner of her eye with a frown, and then looks away and pretends indifference.
:*When Ash is holding on the tube to stop the air flow from reaching the [[mecha]] so it could run, the camera goes to a worried Serena, who yells out his name in concern.
:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will. Serena blushes bright red, but walks away smiling. It is interesting to note that Serena is the only girl to not deny her feelings for Ash when teased about it.

*''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash bangs his head against the tree after catching Pikachu, the camera focuses on Serena, who shouts his name in concern while clasping her hands together.

*''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]''
:*When Ash tries to go down the transporter after Pikachu, Serena tries to stop him from doing anything dangerous while Clemont and Bonnie do nothing.

*''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''
:*When Ash is battling [[Korrina]], only Serena is cheering him on, while Clemont and Bonnie are complimenting how strong Lucario is.

*''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''
:*While everyone's picture is being taken, Serena slides closer to Ash leaving an obvious gap separating them from the others and unlike everybody else, Serena isn't looking into the camera but is looking at Ash when the picture is being taken.
:*After the group photo, Serena stands there admiring her picture with Ash and sighs happily until he calls her to hurry and she turns around with a blush.
:*When the group is entering the cave, Serena grabs on to Ash.

*''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''
:*As Mega Lucario is about to uncontrollably use {{m|Power-Up Punch}} on Ash, who is protecting Pikachu, Serena yells out in concern.

*''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''
:*As Ash follows Bonnie to attempt to save the berries that were stolen by a wild {{p|Ursaring}}, Serena calls after him in a worried tone.
:*Serena is the first person to ask if Ash is all right after saving {{AP|Hawlucha}}.
:*After the mist covering the battle clears up, Serena is the first one to be seen running towards Ash, worried if he is hurt.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*Throughout the episode, Serena is immensely worried about Ash, more so than Clemont and Bonnie. When they are in front of the mirror that Ash went through, Serena clasps her hands together and wishes for Ash to return.
:*When the mirrors drift apart, Ash is carried to the other side away from the group. Mirror Serena yells at Serena that if she wants to travel with Ash, her will for him has to be strong. Serena's eyes widen and then she nods her head in determination realizing that if she wants Ash back, she has to try her hardest.
:*Serena saves Ash by grabbing his hand and helping him make it back to their dimension. Even with both Clemont and Bonnie reaching for Ash, it is Serena who manages to reach him.
:*After Ash is safely back in their dimension, Mirror Serena tells Serena to take good care of Ash; Serena smiles and nods her head in understanding.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena asks Ash if they will always be traveling together from now on, to which a smiling Ash replies with that she should not even have asked such an obvious question.

:*When Clemont hears a story about a Pokémon that controls trees, captures humans who hurts the forest, and eats them, Serena immediately worries about the possibility that Ash might be eaten.
:*After Pikachu finds Ash, Serena is the first one heard saying his name in concern.

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*Serena is immediately worried and asks Ash if he is okay as he lies on the ground after saving her.
:*After Ash injures his foot, Serena nurses it with a wet cloth and her hand seems to linger while she is doing so, and is also apologetic to him, blaming herself that she injured his foot.
:*When Serena exclaims how amazing Ash is after hearing him talk about his dream, he looks at her in surprise. She quickly becomes embarrassed and tends to his foot again to change the subject.
:*Serena takes Ash's advice when he said, "Nothing we ever do is the waste of time," to come up with the idea for a new PokéVision video.

:*Serena asks about Ash's prior foot injury with a concerned look on her face.
:*As Ash makes his way back across after saving Bonnie from the other side, Serena, who says in concern that he can do it, conveys that she does not want Ash to lose his footing and hurt himself.

*''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''
:*During the entire episode, each time Serena battles, she is usually ordering Fennekin to support Pikachu. This is an interesting hint since she could have chosen to assist Clemont instead or battle more independently like Clemont and Ash did.
:*When Serena recalls how Ash practiced the rhythm battling style the night before, she is the only one who finds it amusing as she giggles and calls Ash clumsy.

*''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash and his Pokémon are practicing their dancing moves, Bonnie and Clemont start laughing at Ash's clumsiness and Serena tells them to stop.
:*After Clemont's dancing machine blows up, Serena tells Ash that she can teach him to dance. Although the two dancing together is not shown, the scene moves from day to sunset where Ash and Serena have just finished dancing and Ash collapses from exhaustion from a full day's training.

:*When {{TRT}} orders their Pokémon to attack Ash, Serena is the only one who voices her concern.

*''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''
:*After Serena and Bonnie are separated from Ash and Clemont, Serena is calling out for Ash but not Clemont.

:*In the beginning of the episode, after Serena says she doesn't know what she is going to do, Ash asks her to travel with them, saying that it was because of her that he won the [[Bug Badge]] and that it would be nice if she stayed with them. This is the first time that Ash has asked a female [[Ash's friends|companion]] to travel with him.

His is the only face out of everyone present (an audience including Bonnie, Clemont, Dedenne, Froakie, Fletchling and Pikachu) that has a different expression than the others. It is also worth noting that the camera focuses on just Ash's face at first, showing everyone else a few seconds later.

*''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''
:*When the group is separated, Ash is calling out for Serena only, despite others like Bonnie and {{AP|Goomy}} being lost as well.

===Other hints===

*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash.

*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the intros, Ash usually appears first, followed by Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"

*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.

AmourShipping

2016-03-10T01:41:30Z

Aggron989: Undo revision 2412035 by Kichu200211 (talk) Try not to speculate about what the character is thinking.

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.

*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.

*During the intros, Ash usually appears first, followed by Serena.

**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It can be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.

*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.

AmourShipping

2016-03-09T23:05:28Z

Aggron989:

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring Meowth.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about Aria's Fennekin. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

*''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''
:*When Ash is rock climbing in [[Cyllage Gym]], the camera focuses on a worried Serena.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*[[Miette]] asks Ash teasingly if he has a future bride in mind (in reference to Bonnie asking women to have her brother Clemont) to see how Serena would react. Serena is shown to be paying close attention from the corner of her eye with a frown, and then looks away and pretends indifference.
:*When Ash is holding on the tube to stop the air flow from reaching the [[mecha]] so it could run, the camera goes to a worried Serena, who yells out his name in concern.
:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will. Serena blushes bright red, but walks away smiling. It is interesting to note that Serena is the only girl to not deny her feelings for Ash when teased about it.

*''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''
:*While everyone's picture is being taken, Serena slides closer to Ash leaving an obvious gap separating them from the others and unlike everybody else, Serena isn't looking into the camera but is looking at Ash when the picture is being taken.
:*After the group photo, Serena stands there admiring her picture with Ash and sighs happily until he calls her to hurry and she turns around with a blush.
:*When the group is entering the cave, Serena grabs on to Ash.

*''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*Throughout the episode, Serena is immensely worried about Ash, more so than Clemont and Bonnie. When they are in front of the mirror that Ash went through, Serena clasps her hands together and wishes for Ash to return.
:*When the mirrors drift apart, Ash is carried to the other side away from the group. Mirror Serena yells at Serena that if she wants to travel with Ash, her will for him has to be strong. Serena's eyes widen and then she nods her head in determination realizing that if she wants Ash back, she has to try her hardest.
:*Serena saves Ash by grabbing his hand and helping him make it back to their dimension. Even with both Clemont and Bonnie reaching for Ash, it is Serena who manages to reach him.
:*After Ash is safely back in their dimension, Mirror Serena tells Serena to take good care of Ash; Serena smiles and nods her head in understanding.

*''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''
:*During the entire episode, each time Serena battles, she is usually ordering Fennekin to support Pikachu. This is an interesting hint since she could have chosen to assist Clemont instead or battle more independently like Clemont and Ash did.
:*When Serena recalls how Ash practiced the rhythm battling style the night before, she is the only one who finds it amusing as she giggles and calls Ash clumsy.

:*In the beginning of the episode, after Serena says she doesn't know what she is going to do, Ash asks her to travel with them, saying that it was because of her that he won the [[Bug Badge]] and that it would be nice if she stayed with them. This is the first time that Ash has asked a female [[Ash's friends|companion]] to travel with him. It can also be noted that when Ash asked Serena to travel with him, he appears to be nervous, which is shown in his voice and when he scratches his cheek; cheek scratching is a classic anime symbol for nervousness.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Serena hurts her knee. Ash arrives, takes out a handkerchief upon seeing her injury, and bandages it up for her. Then, he holds out his hand and when she hesitates to take it, he grabs her hand and pulls her up, quickly taking her by surprise and making her fall into his arms in a hug. It is noted that during the hug, it is Serena who pulls away and not him. Afterwards, he holds her hand and helps her find her way back to the camp.
:*After the flashback, Ash finally remembers Serena as "the girl with the straw hat." After Serena pouts for not recognizing her right away, Ash apologizes.
:*Learning that Serena took Rhyhorn racing lessons from her mother, Ash asks her to train him so he can participate.
:*After receiving cookies from Serena, Ash seems to enjoy them a lot.

*''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''
:*As the group is looking for {{p|Pangoro}}'s bamboo leaf, there is a scene where Ash helps Serena cross a small river by holding her hand. The scene only shows Ash and Serena getting across and not the others.

*''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]''
:*When Ash tells Dolan to let everyone out of the net, he explicitly mentions Serena, but not Clemont or Bonnie, calling them "the others".

*''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]''
:*When everyone is holding each other's ears from {{p|Snorlax}}'s snoring, Ash is holding Serena's ears.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*When Serena is in her Fennekin outfit, Ash is seen to be blankly staring at her, possibly out of attraction. His is the only face out of everyone present (an audience including Bonnie, Clemont, Dedenne, Froakie, Fletchling and Pikachu) that has a different expression than the others. It is also worth noting that the camera focuses on just Ash's face at first, showing everyone else a few seconds later.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*Ash spoke up to show Serena how to fish.
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Ash high fived with Serena.

*''[[XY026|A Battle By Any Other Name!]]''

:*When the team goes out to the forest to looks for berries for the Poké Puff competition, Ash expresses concern for Serena when she runs into the forest by herself.
:*When the group hears Serena screaming from a distance, Ash calls out her name and runs after her.
:*Ash is the first person to find Serena and ask if she's all right.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*When the Mirror Dimension is splitting apart, Ash makes a great leap across the chasm and grabs on to Serena's hand instead of calling upon one of his Pokémon or using Clemont's {{p|Aipom}} arm.

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*When Serena begins to fall down a cliff, Ash runs after her and grabs her hand to try to stop her from falling, but ends up falling down with her in the process.
:*When Serena sees that Ash has twisted his ankle, he reassures her that he's okay.
:*When Serena is feeding her Fennekin, the camera focuses on Ash, who is staring at her and smiling.
:*When Serena asks what she want to do as her dream, Ash encourages her that she will find it together with {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}.

*''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''
:*When Ash's rhythm battling strategy seems to be failing against Korrina, he turns to look at Serena in the middle of the battle and remembers her words from the [[XY043|previous day]]'s training, which motivates him and gives him an idea that helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY048|A Campus Reunion!]]''
:*When {{p|Luxio}} uses {{m|Swift}}, Ash moves in front of Serena in a defensive position.

*''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]''

:*When Grace talks about Serena not helping with cooking, Ash speaks up and compliments Serena's baking skills.

*''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]''
:*When the group see a {{p|Malamar}} and remember their previous encounter with it, Ash puts his arm out in front of Serena to protect her.
:*When a truck is driving recklessly and almost hits them, Ash pushes Serena away from the road so she does not get hit. This is significant because both Clemont and Bonnie are closer to the road at the time and are therefore in even more danger of being hit by the truck.

*''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''
:*When the group is separated, Ash is calling out for Serena only, despite others like Bonnie and {{AP|Goomy}} being lost as well.

*''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]''
:*Thanks to a suggestion from Serena, Ash comes up with what to get for his Pokémon as a gift.
:*When Ash puts down his heavy bag of berries, he looks at Serena and laughs nervously.
:*Ash wins a blue ribbon for being a significant number rider on the Coumarine Monorail. At the end of the episode, he gives it to Serena as his way of saying thanks for her help, scratching his nose nervously.

*''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]''
:*When Clemont is wondering if Serena is okay after her loss in the Pokemon Showcase, Ash assures him that she will be fine because she is strong.
:*When Bonnie and Clemont notice that Serena is missing, Ash volunteers to go find her.
:*When the group sees Serena's new hairstyle for the first time, Ash is the only one who has a positive reaction. Clemont just asks what happened and Bonnie complains that she preferred Serena's long hair.
:**Ash comments that the blue ribbon he gave Serena in the previous episode looked great on her.

*''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance And a Big Smile!]]''

:*While searching, Ash calls out for Serena first.
:*Both Ash and Serena are relieved to see each other when they reunite.

*''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]''
:*Serena keeps suggesting that they visit the shop to check some outfits while Ash consistently agrees. It is atypical of Ash to want to visit a clothing shop, given his established personality.
:*When Serena appears on stage in a furisode outfit, Ash is shown to be staring at her in awe.

*''[[XY079|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]''
:*Ash greatly cheers Serena when she shows confidence in not losing the Showcase.
:*Ash states that Serena is amazing after trying her Poké Puffs.
:*When Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie are voting for Serena, Ash noticeably raises his PokéLume higher than the others.
:*Ash is shown congratulating Serena after the Showcase and compliments her on her dress.

*''[[XY082|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]''
:*When the group is deciding the pairs needed to ride on the Mamoswine, Ash happily picks Serena to ride with him.
:*When Serena volunteered to switch spots with Ash, he had high hopes for her to get up the slope.
:*While crossing the bridge in the snowy mountains, a blast of icy wind frightens Serena, and Ash comforts her. He then praises her once they are safely across the bridge.
:*When the group splits up to find the herbs needed, Ash again quickly picks Serena to be his partner.
:*Ash compliments Serena when she finds the herb that they were looking for.

*''[[XY083|Adventures in Running Errands!]]''
:*When Serena asks Ash what he thinks of her nurse outfit, Ash tells her it suits her well.

*''[[XY088|A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!]]''
:*When Serena dives to catch Eevee after Jessie commanded Gourgeist to use Seed Bomb, Ash is the only one who yells out Serena's name in worry.
:*When Serena was trying to protect Eevee from Jessie and another one of Gourgeist's Seed Bomb attacks, Ash, again is the only one yelling her name in worry.

*''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''
:*When Serena is about to search for Eevee, Ash was the first to offer to look himself.

*[[XY108]]
:*Twice near the beginning of the episode, Ash offers Serena encouragement when he sees how nervous she is.
:*Ash seems more excited than Clemont and Bonnie and praises Serena more during her performance, cheering loudly for her when she wins.
:*Ash is also the first one who shouts her name and congratulates her after she wins the Showcase.
:*When Serena learns the location of the Master Class, Ash puts his hand on her shoulder and assures her that he will put off his eighth Gym battle until after her performance.

===Other hints===
[[File:Entertainment Kiss.png|thumb|200px|Valentine's Day poster with Ash and Serena.]]
[[File:Ash and Serena Animedia.png|thumb|200px|The poster from Animedia Magazine.]]
*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash. There is also another character connection table with an arrow from Serena to Ash that says "very interested in".
***The aforementioned magazine also includes a poster with Ash and Serena (Clemont and Bonnie are clearly missing) surrounded by Pokémon and hearts. Serena is holding a heart while looking up at Ash.
*There is another official poster from Animedia Magazine of only Serena and Ash sitting next to each other and holding drinks.
*On the official Pokémon movie website for Japan, there is a quiz where one question asks what the dialogue from Serena was at the end of ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' and one of the options is Serena saying, "My dream is, to become Satoshi’s bride… AH! I am embarrassed!"
*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the intros, Ash usually appears first, followed by Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"
**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It can be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.
*When Ash and his traveling companions split up to go look for something, he tends to partner up with Serena.
*Serena looks to Ash for guidance and advice on occasion, and she usually takes his recommendations seriously.
*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.
*So far in the series, three recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, and [[Shauna]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.
**In the ending credits, when Ash and the others see a shooting star, Serena is making a wish and Ash is the only one who is looking at her while Clemont and Bonnie start sleeping.

== Trivia ==
*Ash and Serena met each other when they were young at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. This would make it the first time a [[Ash's friends|traveling companion]] of Ash's knew him prior to [[EP001|the beginning of the series]].
*"SatoSere", the shipping's Japanese name, has been trending in Japan on Twitter at various times.
**Junichi Masuda, a Pokémon composer, has tweeted a picture of Ash and Serena as Pikachu, playing with one another. In the actual tweet, he tagged multiple AmourShipping accounts.

Talk:Ash's Talonflame

2016-03-09T22:59:45Z

Aggron989: /* Talon flame have proven to be able to fight against legendary Pokemon */

==Air Cutter==

Guys I think we should hold of on Air Cutter until Ash actually commands it, especially since he can't use it in game.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 03:12, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
:Agreed. And maybe this is not Air Cutter, this can be Razor Wind too, we should hold up--[[User:Omojuzeforever|Omojuzeforever]] ([[User talk:Omojuzeforever|talk]]) 04:39, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Wing Attack ==
Doesn't it use the attack in the gym battle in XY005? ×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 01:08, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
:No. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:17, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
::I guess the part with Fletchling's wings glowing and it attacking Vivillon were for XY006? [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 01:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
:::Ok, it used prepared Razor Wind. ;) ×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 10:52, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

== Trivia? ==

Should it be notable that Fletchling is the only basic stage bird Pokemon Ash has had that has gotten an official win. Taillow, Starly and Pidove all evolved before getting an official win. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 22:50, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
:That seems too specific to be notable, but I'm not sure. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 02:50, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

== When Fletchling evolves ==

When Fletchling evolves, would it be trivia worthy that Fletchinder would become Ash's first {{t|Fire|Fire-type}} Pokémon to not have either been previously owned and abandoned by an abusive trainer, was attempted to have been caught by one, nor been attacked by a hoard of wild Pokémon before its capture? Or does that only apply to Pokémon that were Fire-types to begin with? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 00:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:I'd say it' not notable because of how many caveats you have to add on to make it unique. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 00:13, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
::As Glik said, too specific. And since it wasn't a Fire-type at the time of capture, it does not apply. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:33, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:::It seems somewhat less specific when you shorten it to "Ash's first Fire-type Pokémon that he didn't rescue in some way", but, again, it wasn't Fire-type at capture, so whatever. -- [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]][[User_talk:EnosShayrem|talk]] 00:36, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
::::While I agree with the statement above, It would seem more logical to say "After its evolution, it became the first fire type Ash did not rescue in any way", This gives the readers the information that it was AFTER it evolved. But what I would like to know is where is the evidence of its evolution? Thanks [[User:Waterninja12345|Waterninja12345]] ([[User talk:Waterninja12345|talk]]) 18:35, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::Even if it's considered notable, it should be added if and when it actually evolves into Fletchinder. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:38, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

== Evolution ==

Hi everyone. I realized that the page became protected due to evidence of evolution. Where is this evidence? Cause I never seen it pointed out in previews? Thanks - [[User:Waterninja12345|Waterninja12345]] ([[User talk:Waterninja12345|talk]]) 13:50, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

:: Thanks, but a bit more specific? Because just saying CoroCoro is all well and good, but it does not give me the full information. Because I want to find the evidence but its hard to make out what issue of CoroCoro it would be in.

::::Read the timestamp. That post was made before that opening even debuted. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 08:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

== Fletchling's evolution in XY036 ==

In the preview for [[XY036]], it shows Fletchling glowing while being engulfed in Talonflame's Flamethrower. I could be wrong, but could this be saying that Fletchling will evolve in this episode? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 23:40, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
:Yes. We're not touching anything until the episode airs, though. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:43, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
::Ok. I was wondering if anyone who can edit this page edit the tag so it would say "evolve in [[XY036]]", not "evolve in a future episode"? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 23:49, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
::: Personally (although unlikely), there could be a small chance it is NOT Ash's, so it's best to leave it intill the episode. Tho it is unlikely, it could be a possibility [[User:Waterninja12345|Waterninja12345]] ([[User talk:Waterninja12345|talk]]) 22:41, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

== Move ==

It has been confirmed that Ash had a Fletchinder in the movie, instead of Fletchling. And since the movie has been officially released today, is any staff member against the move? I personally do not see a valid reason to wait for the episode to air, now that the movie is already out. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 03:00, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
:No issues here. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 03:21, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia for Ash's Fletchinder ==

I have another trivia for Ash's Fletchinder: Fletchinder is Ash's second Fire/Flying Pokémon. The first is Charizard.--Christian[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 20:34, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
:Since it's not the first time he's had a Fire/Flying type, the point looses its notability. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:35, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

== Ash's Fletchinder Trivia ==

I have a trivia for Ash's Fletchinder:
Fletchinder is Ash's second Fire/Flying Pokémon that Ash obtained. The first is Charizard. Another similiarity with Ash's Fletchinder and Charizard is that they become Fire/Flying Pokémon through evolution. Flecthinder evolved from Fletchling (a Normal/Flying type). Charizard evolved from Charmeleon (a pure Fire type).

User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 01:52, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
:Seconds aren't notable and it's too specific. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:55, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia for Ash's Fletchinder Rejected ==

Why do you reject this trivia and why is it not notable? Is it not good enough?

Fletchinder is Ash's second Fire/Flying Pokémon that Ash obtained. The first is Charizard. Another similiarity with Ash's Fletchinder and Charizard is that they become Fire/Flying Pokémon through evolution. Flecthinder evolved from Fletchling (a Normal/Flying type). Charizard evolved from Charmeleon (a pure Fire type).

Charizard is Ash's only Fire/Flying type before Ash got Fletchinder.[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 02:07, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
:The reason is because on Bulbapedia it isn't considered notable if something is the second of something. --[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 02:45, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
::Futhermore, comparison trivia was eliminated from our Anime articles some time ago. So the similarity points wouldn't really work either. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 02:48, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia Idea ==

Should this peice of trivia should be added?

Flecthinder is Ash's Second Pokemon to evolve during a battle against it's final form in it's basic form, The first Is Pignite who evolved against a battle against emboar as a tepig

and if it gets acepted, can I put it in? {{unsigned|Fireflower30}}
:First of all, second is not notable. Second, please fix your signature so it conforms to the {{bp|signature policy}}. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 02:41, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

== Just a suggestion... ==

Should we post a notice on the top of this talk page regarding trivia additions about Fletchinder being the second Fire-type to do so and so since it has been getting requested a lot? It also happened [[Talk:XY036#5 ash fletching defats his final evolution form in the trivia|here]]. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

== Misleading Trivia ==

"Fletchinder is Ash's first Pokémon to change one of its types upon evolution." Could be more specific. It sounds like it's saying that Fletchinder was the first one to change type at all (obviously not true), but upon closer inspection, it just means the first to lose one type and gain another. Perhaps it should say, "Fletchinder is Ash's first dual-type Pokémon to change one of its types upon evolution."[[User:Nezeltha|Nezeltha]] ([[User talk:Nezeltha|talk]]) 06:05, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
:Not really, it is his first Pokémon to change type upon evolution. Other either stayed the same type or ''gained'' at type (such as Charizard). Gaining a type is not the same as having a type changed.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:14, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

It looks like it might be time to protect this page: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_xy/story/index.html#pv [[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 07:32, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Oh and it's evolving in XY085. [[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 08:05, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
:I've semi protected it. Not going to fully protect just yet as it may do something significant between now and XY085 (like learn a new move) and users might want to add that information in. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:08, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

::After [[XY085]] airs, is it worth mentioning that both of Talonflame's evolutions occurred during battles against {{t|Fire}}/{{type|Flying}} {{p|Talonflame|Poké}}{{p|Moltres|mon}}? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 23:34, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

:::I think it would also be the first Pokémon in the anime to evolve in a battle against a Legendary Pokémon. That's got to be notable, surely? {{unsigned|Gengarzilla}}
:::The Fire/Flying piece sounds rather specific, imo. The Legendary Pokémon piece is notable since that is kind of something you don't expect to happen.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:15, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

::::Ok. I agree with the trivia of being the first Pokémon to evolve during a battle against a legendary Pokémon being notable, but if the trivia of Talonflame's evolutions occurring against two Pokémon who share the same type combination is unimportant, then the trivia of Dawn's Mamoswine's evolutions occurring during battles against Team Rocket should be unimportant as well. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 19:20, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

:::::A little bit about both evolutions occuring against other Flying types could be fine in the Personality and Characteristics section though, right? Since it does cover Fletchinder wanting to prove itself against others of that type. '''''[[Shadow Sneak (move)|Sneaking]] from page to page... It's the page-editing purple ghost... [[User:Gengarzilla|Gengar]][[User talk:Gengarzilla|zilla!]]''''' 18:48, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

::::::The latest preview for [[XY085]] almost outright confirms that Fletchinder's going to evolve. During its battle with Moltres, it gets hit by what appears to be a Fire Blast and begins to emit the blue evolutionary glow. [[User:Azureprism|Azureprism]] ([[User talk:Azureprism|talk]]) 10:16, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

:::::::And lastly, I've noticed how most Pokémon owned by main characters who defeat their immediate evolved form never do evolve into that stage themselves ({{AP|Pikachu}} vs {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} vs {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup|Empoleon}}, {{AP|Buizel}} vs [[Crasher Wake#Floatzel|Floatzel]], {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} vs {{TP|Saturn|Toxicroak}}, {{AP|Snivy}} vs {{TP|Trip|Servine|Serperior}}, {{AP|Pignite}} vs [[Shamus#Emboar|Emboar]], {{AP|Oshawott}} vs [[Cadbury#Caesar|Dewott]], possibly some others I've missed.) but Fletchinder's going to break that pattern by evolving into Talonflame despite having previously defeated [[Moria#Talonflame|one]] in the Fletchinder stage. Rather specific but I can't help noticing this. {{unsigned|Gengarzilla}}

== Is this trivia worthy? ==

Is it worth mentioning that Talonflame's evolution was the first time a song other than one used for an {{series|XY}} [[V (Volt)|opening]] or [[DreamDream|ending]] was used as an insert song during an evolution of one of Ash and friends' Pokémon? Or is that too specific to be worth noting? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 00:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

:I agree with Rahl, I think it's too specific, because there's been more than one other song that's been used for a Pokémon evolution.

[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 20:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bulbapedia,

I have a great fact to add to the trivia of Ash's Talonflame.

* Talonflame is Ash's second {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon. The first Pokémon Ash has with that type combination is {{AP|Charizard}}.

I feel this is an important note because Ash never caught any other Pokémon other than Charizard with that type combination. This should not be removed because it is the truth.
:Seconds aren't notable, and just because something is true, doesn't make it that way either, unless an admin says otherwise. This was in the edit summaries of your edits' redactions, and is a part of the official trivia policy. Kindly refrain from adding any unnotable trivia, read and adhere to all official policies, and take disputes to the appropriate talk pages from now on:Don't edit war when you don't immediately get your way with an addition to Bulbapedia. Thank you. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 21:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Compared to his other regional bird Pokemon of Ash. Ash Talonflame formidable foes like Moria Talonflame, Moltres, and Zapdos.

::Shouldn't we add this to the personality and characteristics section.

Like it was added in Ash's Noivern page --[[User:SilverioFlame|SilverioBOMB ]] ([[User talk:SilverioFlame|talk]]) 14:40, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

:On Noivern's page, the bit about Zapdos is only there to show how Noivern's personality changed when it evolved. It's not as relevant to Talonflame because pretty much all of Ash's Pokémon are willing to take on strong opponents.

AmourShipping

2016-03-07T21:59:16Z

Aggron989:

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring Meowth.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about Aria's Fennekin. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Serena high fived with Ash.

*''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
:*When Ash and friends are using one of Clemont's machines to randomly decide the two who going in the submarine together, Serena unhesitatingly chooses the same arrow as Ash, before either of the siblings can.
:*When Ash attempts to stop Team Rocket from escaping, Serena tries to stop him because of the danger involved.

*''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''
:*When Ash is rock climbing in [[Cyllage Gym]], the camera focuses on a worried Serena.
:*Before the battle between Ash and [[Grant]] starts, Serena is very worried. She clasps her hands together which catches the notice of Bonnie and Clemont. She then begins to blush and, at one point, tears up when thinking about how hard Ash has trained.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*[[Miette]] asks Ash teasingly if he has a future bride in mind (in reference to Bonnie asking women to have her brother Clemont) to see how Serena would react. Serena is shown to be paying close attention from the corner of her eye with a frown, and then looks away and pretends indifference.
:*When Ash is holding on the tube to stop the air flow from reaching the [[mecha]] so it could run, the camera goes to a worried Serena, who yells out his name in concern.
:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will. Serena blushes bright red, but walks away smiling. It is interesting to note that Serena is the only girl to not deny her feelings for Ash when teased about it.

*''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash bangs his head against the tree after catching Pikachu, the camera focuses on Serena, who shouts his name in concern while clasping her hands together.

*''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]''
:*When Ash tries to go down the transporter after Pikachu, Serena tries to stop him from doing anything dangerous while Clemont and Bonnie do nothing.

*''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''
:*When Ash is battling [[Korrina]], only Serena is cheering him on, while Clemont and Bonnie are complimenting how strong Lucario is.

*''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''
:*While everyone's picture is being taken, Serena slides closer to Ash leaving an obvious gap separating them from the others and unlike everybody else, Serena isn't looking into the camera but is looking at Ash when the picture is being taken.
:*After the group photo, Serena stands there admiring her picture with Ash and sighs happily until he calls her to hurry and she turns around with a blush.
:*When the group is entering the cave, Serena grabs on to Ash.

*''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''
:*As Mega Lucario is about to uncontrollably use {{m|Power-Up Punch}} on Ash, who is protecting Pikachu, Serena yells out in concern.

*''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''
:*As Ash follows Bonnie to attempt to save the berries that were stolen by a wild {{p|Ursaring}}, Serena calls after him in a worried tone.
:*Serena is the first person to ask if Ash is all right after saving {{AP|Hawlucha}}.
:*After the mist covering the battle clears up, Serena is the first one to be seen running towards Ash, worried if he is hurt.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*Throughout the episode, Serena is immensely worried about Ash, more so than Clemont and Bonnie. When they are in front of the mirror that Ash went through, Serena clasps her hands together and wishes for Ash to return.
:*When the mirrors drift apart, Ash is carried to the other side away from the group. Mirror Serena yells at Serena that if she wants to travel with Ash, her will for him has to be strong. Serena's eyes widen and then she nods her head in determination realizing that if she wants Ash back, she has to try her hardest.
:*Serena saves Ash by grabbing his hand and helping him make it back to their dimension. Even with both Clemont and Bonnie reaching for Ash, it is Serena who manages to reach him.
:*After Ash is safely back in their dimension, Mirror Serena tells Serena to take good care of Ash; Serena smiles and nods her head in understanding.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena asks Ash if they will always be traveling together from now on, to which a smiling Ash replies with that she should not even have asked such an obvious question.

*''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]''
:*When Clemont hears a story about a Pokémon that controls trees, captures humans who hurts the forest, and eats them, Serena immediately worries about the possibility that Ash might be eaten.
:*After Pikachu finds Ash, Serena is the first one heard saying his name in concern.

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*Serena is immediately worried and asks Ash if he is okay as he lies on the ground after saving her.
:*After Ash injures his foot, Serena nurses it with a wet cloth and her hand seems to linger while she is doing so, and is also apologetic to him, blaming herself that she injured his foot.
:*When Serena exclaims how amazing Ash is after hearing him talk about his dream, he looks at her in surprise. She quickly becomes embarrassed and tends to his foot again to change the subject.
:*Serena takes Ash's advice when he said, "Nothing we ever do is the waste of time," to come up with the idea for a new PokéVision video.
:*Serena is persuaded by Ash that she will find her dream with her Pokémon.

*''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''
:*Serena asks about Ash's prior foot injury with a concerned look on her face.
:*As Ash makes his way back across after saving Bonnie from the other side, Serena, who says in concern that he can do it, conveys that she does not want Ash to lose his footing and hurt himself.

*''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''
:*During the entire episode, each time Serena battles, she is usually ordering Fennekin to support Pikachu. This is an interesting hint since she could have chosen to assist Clemont instead or battle more independently like Clemont and Ash did.
:*When Serena recalls how Ash practiced the rhythm battling style the night before, she is the only one who finds it amusing as she giggles and calls Ash clumsy.

*''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash and his Pokémon are practicing their dancing moves, Bonnie and Clemont start laughing at Ash's clumsiness and Serena tells them to stop.
:*After Clemont's dancing machine blows up, Serena tells Ash that she can teach him to dance. Although the two dancing together is not shown, the scene moves from day to sunset where Ash and Serena have just finished dancing and Ash collapses from exhaustion from a full day's training.

*''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''
:*When Ash's Hawlucha is struggling with the rhythmic battle style, the camera briefly focuses on Serena with a worried look.
:*After Hawlucha defeats Korrina's Meinfoo, Serena internally cheers for Ash to win.

:*When Team Rocket throws a smoke bomb, Ash and Serena turn towards each other and cover both of their heads with their arms to protect each other.

*''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]''
:*While Ash is training Froakie and Pikachu, Serena is the only one who is cheering for him while Bonnie and Clemont only give compliments about the two Pokémon.

===Other hints===

[[File:Ash and Serena Animedia.png|thumb|200px|The poster from Animedia Magazine.]]
*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.

**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash.

*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"

**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.

AmourShipping

2016-03-01T15:25:08Z

Aggron989:

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well.

:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash. There is also another character connection table with an arrow from Serena to Ash that says "very interested in".
***The aforementioned magazine also includes a poster with Ash and Serena (Clemont and Bonnie are clearly missing) surrounded by Pokémon and hearts. Serena is holding a heart while looking up at Ash.
*There is another official poster from Animedia Magazine of only Serena and Ash sitting next to each other and holding drinks.
*On the official Pokémon movie website for Japan, there is a quiz where one question asks what the dialogue from Serena was at the end of ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' and one of the options is Serena saying, "My dream is, to become Satoshi’s bride… AH! I am embarrassed!"
*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"
**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It should be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.
*When Ash and his traveling companions split up to go look for something, he tends to partner up with Serena.
*Serena looks to Ash for guidance and advice on occasion, and she usually takes his recommendations seriously.
*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.
*So far in the series, three recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, and [[Shauna]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.
**In the ending credits, when Ash and the others see a shooting star, Serena is making a wish and Ash is the only one who is looking at her while Clemont and Bonnie start sleeping.

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring Meowth.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about Aria's Fennekin. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Serena high fived with Ash.

*''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
:*When Ash and friends are using one of Clemont's machines to randomly decide the two who going in the submarine together, Serena unhesitatingly chooses the same arrow as Ash, before either of the siblings can.
:*When Ash attempts to stop Team Rocket from escaping, Serena tries to stop him because of the danger involved.

*''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''
:*When Ash is rock climbing in [[Cyllage Gym]], the camera focuses on a worried Serena.
:*Before the battle between Ash and [[Grant]] starts, Serena is very worried. She clasps her hands together which catches the notice of Bonnie and Clemont. She then begins to blush and, at one point, tears up when thinking about how hard Ash has trained.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*[[Miette]] asks Ash teasingly if he has a future bride in mind (in reference to Bonnie asking women to have her brother Clemont) to see how Serena would react. Serena is shown to be paying close attention from the corner of her eye with a frown, and then looks away and pretends indifference.
:*When Ash is holding on the tube to stop the air flow from reaching the [[mecha]] so it could run, the camera goes to a worried Serena, who yells out his name in concern.
:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will. Serena blushes bright red, but walks away smiling. It is interesting to note that Serena is the only girl to not deny her feelings for Ash when teased about it.

*''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash bangs his head against the tree after catching Pikachu, the camera focuses on Serena, who shouts his name in concern while clasping her hands together.

*''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''
:*When Ash is battling [[Korrina]], only Serena is cheering him on, while Clemont and Bonnie are complimenting how strong Lucario is.

*''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''
:*While everyone's picture is being taken, Serena slides closer to Ash leaving an obvious gap separating them from the others and unlike everybody else, Serena isn't looking into the camera but is looking at Ash when the picture is being taken.
:*After the group photo, Serena stands there admiring her picture with Ash and sighs happily until he calls her to hurry and she turns around with a blush.
:*When the group is entering the cave, Serena grabs on to Ash.

*''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''
:*As Mega Lucario is about to uncontrollably use {{m|Power-Up Punch}} on Ash, who is protecting Pikachu, Serena yells out in concern.

*''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''

:*Serena is the first person to ask if Ash is all right after saving {{AP|Hawlucha}}.
:*After the mist covering the battle clears up, Serena is the first one to be seen running towards Ash, worried if he is hurt.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*Throughout the episode, Serena is immensely worried about Ash, more so than Clemont and Bonnie. When they are in front of the mirror that Ash went through, Serena clasps her hands together and wishes for Ash to return.
:*When the mirrors drift apart, Ash is carried to the other side away from the group. Mirror Serena yells at Serena that if she wants to travel with Ash, her will for him has to be strong. Serena's eyes widen and then she nods her head in determination realizing that if she wants Ash back, she has to try her hardest.
:*Serena saves Ash by grabbing his hand and helping him make it back to their dimension. Even with both Clemont and Bonnie reaching for Ash, it is Serena who manages to reach him.
:*After Ash is safely back in their dimension, Mirror Serena tells Serena to take good care of Ash; Serena smiles and nods her head in understanding.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena asks Ash if they will always be traveling together from now on, to which a smiling Ash replies with that she should not even have asked such an obvious question.

*''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''
:*During the entire episode, each time Serena battles, she is usually ordering Fennekin to support Pikachu. This is an interesting hint since she could have chosen to assist Clemont instead or battle more independently like Clemont and Ash did.
:*When Serena recalls how Ash practiced the rhythm battling style the night before, she is the only one who finds it amusing as she giggles and calls Ash clumsy.

*''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash and his Pokémon are practicing their dancing moves, Bonnie and Clemont start laughing at Ash's clumsiness and Serena tells them to stop.

:*It is proposed that Clemont becomes Serena's dancing partner (due to [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] being [[Serena's Sylveon|Serena's Eevee's]] dance partner). Though she accepts for Eevee's sake, Serena is visibly reluctant and sighs in disappointment while glancing at Ash.
:*When Ash and his friends meet up with [[Miette]] again, Serena is shown to be shocked when Miette grabs Ash's hands and asks him to be her partner. Serena freaks out even more when Ash accepts.
:*When Miette looks at Serena and winks while holding Ash's hand, Serena seems upset and determined.
:*When Ash is following Miette around with a pile of dresses, Serena looks at him and sighs.
:*During the rotation dance, Serena constantly glances at Ash, blushing while doing so.
:*Serena is blushing and watching in slow-motion as Ash extends his arm towards her, and is extremely shocked, disappointed, and upset when the rotation dance ends without Serena dancing once with Ash.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*In the beginning of the episode, after Serena says she doesn't know what she is going to do, Ash asks her to travel with them, saying that it was because of her that he won the [[Bug Badge]] and that it would be nice if she stayed with them. This is the first time that Ash has asked a female [[Ash's friends|companion]] to travel with him. It can also be noted that when Ash asked Serena to travel with him, he appears to be nervous, which is shown in his voice and when he scratches his cheek; cheek scratching is a classic anime symbol for nervousness.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Serena hurts her knee. Ash arrives, takes out a handkerchief upon seeing her injury, and bandages it up for her. Then, he holds out his hand and when she hesitates to take it, he grabs her hand and pulls her up, quickly taking her by surprise and making her fall into his arms in a hug. It is noted that during the hug, it is Serena who pulls away and not him. Afterwards, he holds her hand and helps her find her way back to the camp.
:*After the flashback, Ash finally remembers Serena as "the girl with the straw hat." After Serena pouts for not recognizing her right away, Ash apologizes.
:*Learning that Serena took Rhyhorn racing lessons from her mother, Ash asks her to train him so he can participate.
:*After receiving cookies from Serena, Ash seems to enjoy them a lot.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]''

*''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''
:*As the group is looking for {{p|Pangoro}}'s bamboo leaf, there is a scene where Ash helps Serena cross a small river by holding her hand. The scene only shows Ash and Serena getting across and not the others.

*''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]''
:*When Ash tells Dolan to let everyone out of the net, he explicitly mentions Serena, but not Clemont or Bonnie, calling them "the others".

*''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]''
:*When everyone is holding each other's ears from {{p|Snorlax}}'s snoring, Ash is holding Serena's ears.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*When Serena is in her Fennekin outfit, Ash is seen to be blankly staring at her, possibly out of attraction. His is the only face out of everyone present (an audience including Bonnie, Clemont, Dedenne, Froakie, Fletchling and Pikachu) that has a different expression than the others. It is also worth noting that the camera focuses on just Ash's face at first, showing everyone else a few seconds later.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*Ash spoke up to show Serena how to fish.
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Ash high fived with Serena.

*''[[XY026|A Battle By Any Other Name!]]''

:*When the group hears Serena screaming from a distance, Ash calls out her name and runs after her.
:*Ash is the first person to find Serena and ask if she's all right.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*When the Mirror Dimension is splitting apart, Ash makes a great leap across the chasm and grabs on to Serena's hand instead of calling upon one of his Pokémon or using Clemont's {{p|Aipom}} arm.

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*When Serena begins to fall down a cliff, Ash runs after her and grabs her hand to try to stop her from falling, but ends up falling down with her in the process.
:*When Serena sees that Ash has twisted his ankle, he reassures her that he's okay.
:*When Serena is feeding her Fennekin, the camera focuses on Ash, who is staring at her and smiling.
:*When Serena asks what she want to do as her dream, Ash encourages her that she will find it together with {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}.

*''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''
:*When Ash's rhythm battling strategy seems to be failing against Korrina, he turns to look at Serena in the middle of the battle and remembers her words from the [[XY043|previous day]]'s training, which motivates him and gives him an idea that helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY048|A Campus Reunion!]]''
:*When {{p|Luxio}} uses {{m|Swift}}, Ash moves in front of Serena in a defensive position.

*''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]''
:*When Team Rocket throws a smoke bomb, Ash and Serena turn towards each other and cover both of their heads with their arms to protect each other.

*''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]''

:*When Grace talks about Serena not helping with cooking, Ash speaks up and compliments Serena's baking skills.
:*When Grace brings Ash and Serena together, they look at each other with embarrassment.

*''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]''
:*When the group see a {{p|Malamar}} and remember their previous encounter with it, Ash puts his arm out in front of Serena to protect her.
:*When a truck is driving recklessly and almost hits them, Ash pushes Serena away from the road so she does not get hit. This is significant because both Clemont and Bonnie are closer to the road at the time and are therefore in even more danger of being hit by the truck.

*''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''
:*When the group is separated, Ash is calling out for Serena only, despite others like Bonnie and {{AP|Goomy}} being lost as well.

*''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]''
:*Thanks to a suggestion from Serena, Ash comes up with what to get for his Pokémon as a gift.
:*When Ash puts down his heavy bag of berries, he looks at Serena and laughs nervously.
:*Ash wins a blue ribbon for being a significant number rider on the Coumarine Monorail. At the end of the episode, he gives it to Serena as his way of saying thanks for her help, scratching his nose nervously.

*''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]''
:*When Clemont is wondering if Serena is okay after her loss in the Pokemon Showcase, Ash assures him that she will be fine because she is strong.
:*When Bonnie and Clemont notice that Serena is missing, Ash volunteers to go find her.
:*When the group sees Serena's new hairstyle for the first time, Ash is the only one who has a positive reaction. Clemont just asks what happened and Bonnie complains that she preferred Serena's long hair.
:**Ash comments that the blue ribbon he gave Serena in the previous episode looked great on her.

*''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance And a Big Smile!]]''

:*Both Ash and Serena are relieved to see each other when they reunite.

*''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]''
:*Serena keeps suggesting that they visit the shop to check some outfits while Ash consistently agrees. It is atypical of Ash to want to visit a clothing shop, given his established personality.
:*When Serena appears on stage in a furisode outfit, Ash is shown to be staring at her in awe.

*''[[XY079|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]''
:*Ash greatly cheers Serena when she shows confidence in not losing the Showcase.
:*Ash states that Serena is amazing after trying her Poké Puffs.
:*When Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie are voting for Serena, Ash noticeably raises his PokéLume higher than the others.
:*Ash is shown congratulating Serena after the Showcase and compliments her on her dress.

*''[[XY082|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]''
:*When the group is deciding the pairs needed to ride on the Mamoswine, Ash happily picks Serena to ride with him.
:*When Serena volunteered to switch spots with Ash, he had high hopes for her to get up the slope.
:*While crossing the bridge in the snowy mountains, a blast of icy wind frightens Serena, and Ash comforts her. He then praises her once they are safely across the bridge.
:*When the group splits up to find the herbs needed, Ash again quickly picks Serena to be his partner.
:*Ash compliments Serena when she finds the herb that they were looking for.

*''[[XY083|Adventures in Running Errands!]]''
:*When Serena asks Ash what he thinks of her nurse outfit, Ash tells her it suits her well.

*''[[XY088|A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!]]''
:*When Serena dives to catch Eevee after Jessie commanded Gourgeist to use Seed Bomb, Ash is the only one who yells out Serena's name in worry.
:*When Serena was trying to protect Eevee from Jessie and another one of Gourgeist's Seed Bomb attacks, Ash, again is the only one yelling her name in worry.

*''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''
:*When Serena is about to search for Eevee, Ash was the first to offer to look himself.

===Other hints===
[[File:Entertainment Kiss.png|thumb|200px|Valentine's Day poster with Ash and Serena.]]
[[File:Ash and Serena Animedia.png|thumb|200px|The poster from Animedia Magazine.]]
*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash. There is also another character connection table with an arrow from Serena to Ash that says "very interested in".
***The aforementioned magazine also includes a poster with Ash and Serena (Clemont and Bonnie are clearly missing) surrounded by Pokémon and hearts. Serena is holding a heart while looking up at Ash.
*There is another official poster from Animedia Magazine of only Serena and Ash sitting next to each other and holding drinks.
*On the official Pokémon movie website for Japan, there is a quiz where one question asks what the dialogue from Serena was at the end of ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' and one of the options is Serena saying, "My dream is, to become Satoshi’s bride… AH! I am embarrassed!"
*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"
**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It should be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.
*When Ash and his traveling companions split up to go look for something, he tends to partner up with Serena.
*Serena looks to Ash for guidance and advice on occasion, and she usually takes his recommendations seriously.
*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.
*So far in the series, three recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, and [[Shauna]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.
**In the ending credits, when Ash and the others see a shooting star, Serena is making a wish and Ash is the only one who is looking at her while Clemont and Bonnie start sleeping.

*"SatoSere", the shipping's Japanese name, has been trending in Japan on Twitter at various times.
**Junichi Masuda, a Pokémon composer, has tweeted a picture of Ash and Serena as Pikachu, playing with one another. In the actual tweet, he tagged multiple AmourShipping accounts.

Aggron989: /* Error? */ new section

Umm, when was it confirmed that Ash's Buizel would be in this episode? --'''[[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]]''' '''[[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]]''' 22:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

== First time? ==

Ok, the trivia section of the episode states that this episode is the first time that Ash ever deliberately hurts a pokemon. But didn't Ash bite Meowth in the tail in [[EP012|Here comes the Squirtle Squad]]? I mean, last time I checked, that was deliberately hurting a pokemon. so technically, this was the second time he has deliberately hurt a pokemon. {{unsigned|Weedle Mchairybug}}
:done. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 18:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Huh? When did Ash hurt a pokémon in this episode?--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight the ampharos]] 21:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

==Ok==
Ok, now it's confirmed that the Ranger special WILL NOT AIR, so, for this title, "Pika and Goliath!" is obvius that is for DP074
(And yes, "Crossing Paths" should be for DP73)--[[User:Nick.|Nick.]] 05:02, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

== J trying to kill Ash? ==

Isn't this a kids show? Why would they do that? --[[User talk:utube1226|utube1226]] 01:21, 8 November 2008

== DVD ==

Does anyone know when this episode will be released on DVD in the US. (If it will at all)? [[Special:Contributions/ShinyPiakchu|♥♥]] [[User:ShinyPikachu|''♫Pika Pika Shiny Shiny♫'']] [[User Talk:ShinyPikachu|♥♥]] 15:15, 23 November, 2008 (UTC)

== Error? ==

The thing with Ash's hair doesn't look like an error to me. If Pikachu's sitting on his shoulder, then the "missing" hair would naturally be pushed back where we wouldn't see it. It's consistent throughout the entire scene. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 18:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Aggron989: /* Pancham's gender trivia */

== Moves ==

I haven't gotten a chance to re-watch the episode, but do we have any confirmation on the moves? Unless it was explicitly said, ''Karate Chop'' could also be Arm Thrust and the rocks popping up from the ground looked more like Rock Tomb than Stone Edge or Rock Slide. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 07:11, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
:I was thinking the same thing. I haven't watched the episode yet, but Pancham battled on its own and didn't get any commands. When Fennekin first used Hidden Power, we made sure it wasn't added until it was called out in another episode, as there was no real confirmation when it first used it. I don't think we should act differently here. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 07:42, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
::Neither attack was named in the episode. The only move we can be certain about is Dark Pulse, since both Pancham and Pumpkaboo used it. I think the rock move was trying to portray the way Stone Edge comes out of the ground in XY, which has been a theme in this season's animations. I do think both of Pancham's moves should be hidden, as we did with Fennekin's Hidden Power. [[User:G50|''ㄱ'']][[User talk:G50|''쉰'']] G50 09:40, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
:::If we do hide it, would there be a way to display the unknown moves as "???" or something to that extent while we wait for confirmation? That way we acknowledge that there are three moves, but we don't know what two of them are yet. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 14:22, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

none of the pictures on this page show Pancham wearing its sunglasses. Seems silly to me. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 21:16, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

== About it's Gender ==

Since Smoochum is a female-only Pokemon, doesn't it mean Pancham's a boy?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|DragonSlayingFairy]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 02:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
:Site Policy is that Pokémon can be homosexual/gay/lesbian/trans/bi/bi and/or Tri-gendered/whatever, so no. And that crush was dub-only. So no.--[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 03:11, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
::Site policy huh...? Well alright then. And I wouldn't exactly say the crush was dub only, it was heavily implied with Smoochum's blush and having hearts in her eyes when Nene tried to get Serena to trade Pancham. Still though I get it and all, what with that particular Purlion in that BW episode. -- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|DragonSlayingFairy]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 23:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

== Pancham's gender confirmed in 7-11 movie event ==

In the Japanese 7-11 movie event, Serena's Pancham was given via code. It was a male with black glasses. Does this confirm that Serena's Pancham is male?[[User:Leafeon6954|Leafeon6954]] ([[User talk:Leafeon6954|talk]]) 22:34, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
:No. Information given by event Pokémon does not confirm anything, because an event Pokémon ''has'' to have a gender, Ability, and Nature in order to work properly, even if the anime version has not had any of those things confirmed. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 00:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
::Don't get me wrong. I think Pancham is male, myself. But keep in mind they had a male Purrloin that Oshawott fell in love with, and you can't know if it was two girls having a little dance in Pancham's appearance with Smoochum. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:47, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
:::Aggron989- Serena's fennekin and Ash's pikachu had correct genders when they were distributed via code. Why wouldn't they do the same for Pancham?[[User:Leafeon6954|Leafeon6954]] ([[User talk:Leafeon6954|talk]]) 22:35, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
::::They had the correct genders, but those genders have also been confirmed in the anime itself - Pancham's hasn't, so they had to give it a gender for the event. I agree with CycloneGU in that Pancham is almost certainly a boy, but it was decided a few months ago that we can't put it in the infobox until the anime says so.

:::::As a confirmation for Pikachu's gender, one example is in [[DP142]]. Pikachu and others get caught up in Togepi's Attract, and with at least one confirmed male already, all affected Pokémon and the Togepi were also confirmed respectively. Meanwhile, [[Jessie's Yanmega]] was NOT affected, confirming its gender as female, much to the surprise of even Jessie (who clearly thought it was male).
:::::If we ever get a similar scenario with both Pancham and Pikachu hit by this type of move and affected (or not), or even both Pancham and Braixen, then Pancham will be instantly confirmed. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:27, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
::::::This is the sole reason I hope to see [[Iris's Emolga]] again.

By the way CycloneGU, did you mean ''Braixen'' or...?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 01:54, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Well, Pancham's gender is right now! It was already confirmed in XY104.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]]) 16:25, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

== Pancham's gender trivia ==

Shouldn't we wait until the end of the series to add that Pancham is the only Pokémon of Serena's without a confirmed gender? This is because Serena has three Pokémon currently, a Pokémon with {{m|Attract}} (such as [[Iris's Emolga]]) might appear in a future episode and we'll get Pancham's gender, or Serena may capture three Pokémon during the series run and their genders don't get confirmed right away. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 05:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
::I agree, the series is no way close to being over yet.

The preview for XYZ012 has confirmed Pancham's gender, it was showed to be wearing a blue bowtie, which means it is male. [[User:Esquilo30|Esquilo30]] ([[User talk:Esquilo30|talk]]) 19:48, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
:I've been told that clothing doesn't count. Since the rules say that males must pair with females, I'm guessing Serena paired Pancham and Braixen together judging from the preview, or there's a dress code. We have to wait until the ep to be sure.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 00:11, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Well, there's proof now! Esquilo30 was right.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]]) 04:56, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
::There's been proof for a while but the admins insisted on denying it. They need to start excepting obvious evidence instead of going by something the writers are never going to do.

:I am only going to say this once, we are '''never''' going to assume genders based off behavioral patterns. That is the worse way to guess genders, since a guy can act like a girl and vice versa.

Who says somebody has a problem with genders? We know how they work differently through out both anime and the games.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]]) 05:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

:I don't think wearing a crown/bowtie during that dance automatically confirms a gender. Remember the time that [[Dawn's Piplup]] wore a cheerleader outfit, and was [[DP137|later]] confirmed to be male? The only real hint that Pancham could be male is because a {{p|Smoochum}}, a female-only Pokémon, has a crush on it. But of course, there's [[DP149|that bizzaro episode]] where [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and Piplup fall in love... and they're both male (justified because of the Affinity Enabler). This is also a reason why we don't list [[Clemont's Chespin]] as a male despite it having a crush on a female Meowstic. [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] ([[User talk:UxieLover1994|talk]]) 05:25, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
::It's not just because Pancham wore a bow-tie. It's because the rule of the dance party was that the people and Pokemon had to dance with the opposite gender. Pancham danced with Serena's Braixen. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 07:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

::::It doesn't matter what we think the writers would and would not do. Unless something has been officially confirmed by a completely irrefutable piece of evidence, such as the use of Attract, its being explicitly stated, or the wearing of gender-specific items (as was the case for Pancham in the dance episode), then the policy is that it doesn't go on the wiki. We can't make assumptions based on what we think the writers would and would not do.

== Question ==

Um, is it okay to add picture of Pancham (as well as the others) evolved in the article?
Of course just in the trivia section, since it was a dream made up by Darkrai. It just seems like a shame not to in my opinion, if not though- then alright.

I'd imagine it would look something like this:

:==Trivia==
* Pancham's capture marks the longest duration between one of [[Ash's friends]]' first and second captures, taking 43 episodes.
* Pancham is the first pure {{t|Fighting}} type to be caught by a main character since [[Ash's Primeape]]. Coincidentally, both of them stole [[Ash's hat]].
* The sunglasses that Pancham wears are based on the red version of the [[Clothing#Accessories 2|Wide-Frame Sunglasses]] that {{ga|Serena}} wears in the games. Their color scheme is also similar to [[Ash's Krookodile]]'s.
* In [[XY097]], Pancham appeared in Pikachu's dream able to speak human language and evolve at will. <gallery> None.png|Pancham as Pangoro </gallery>

AmourShipping

2016-01-29T15:20:58Z

Aggron989: /* Anime evidence */

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring Meowth.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about Aria's Fennekin. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Serena high fived with Ash.

*''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
:*When Ash and friends are using one of Clemont's machines to randomly decide the two who going in the submarine together, Serena unhesitatingly chooses the same arrow as Ash, before either of the siblings can.
:*When Ash attempts to stop Team Rocket from escaping, Serena tries to stop him because of the danger involved.

*''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''
:*When Ash is rock climbing in [[Cyllage Gym]], the camera focuses on a worried Serena.
:*Before the battle between Ash and [[Grant]] starts, Serena is very worried. She clasps her hands together which catches the notice of Bonnie and Clemont. She then begins to blush and, at one point, tears up when thinking about how hard Ash has trained.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*[[Miette]] asks Ash teasingly if he has a future bride in mind (in reference to Bonnie asking women to have her brother Clemont) to see how Serena would react. Serena is shown to be paying close attention from the corner of her eye with a frown, and then looks away and pretends indifference.
:*When Ash is holding on the tube to stop the air flow from reaching the [[mecha]] so it could run, the camera goes to a worried Serena, who yells out his name in concern.
:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will. Serena blushes bright red, but walks away smiling. It is interesting to note that Serena is the only girl to not deny her feelings for Ash when teased about it.

*''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash bangs his head against the tree after catching Pikachu, the camera focuses on Serena, who shouts his name in concern while clasping her hands together.

*''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]''
:*When Ash tries to go down the transporter after Pikachu, Serena tries to stop him from doing anything dangerous while Clemont and Bonnie do nothing.

*''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''
:*When Ash is battling [[Korrina]], only Serena is cheering him on, while Clemont and Bonnie are complimenting how strong Lucario is.

*''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''
:*While everyone's picture is being taken, Serena slides closer to Ash leaving an obvious gap separating them from the others and unlike everybody else, Serena isn't looking into the camera but is looking at Ash when the picture is being taken.
:*After the group photo, Serena stands there admiring her picture with Ash and sighs happily until he calls her to hurry and she turns around with a blush.
:*When the group is entering the cave, Serena grabs on to Ash.

*''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''
:*As Mega Lucario is about to uncontrollably use {{m|Power-Up Punch}} on Ash, who is protecting Pikachu, Serena yells out in concern.

*''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''
:*As Ash follows Bonnie to attempt to save the berries that were stolen by a wild {{p|Ursaring}}, Serena calls after him in a worried tone.
:*Serena is the first person to ask if Ash is all right after saving {{AP|Hawlucha}}.
:*After the mist covering the battle clears up, Serena is the first one to be seen running towards Ash, worried if he is hurt.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*Throughout the episode, Serena is immensely worried about Ash, more so than Clemont and Bonnie. When they are in front of the mirror that Ash went through, Serena clasps her hands together and wishes for Ash to return.
:*When the mirrors drift apart, Ash is carried to the other side away from the group. Mirror Serena yells at Serena that if she wants to travel with Ash, her will for him has to be strong. Serena's eyes widen and then she nods her head in determination realizing that if she wants Ash back, she has to try her hardest.
:*Serena saves Ash by grabbing his hand and helping him make it back to their dimension. Even with both Clemont and Bonnie reaching for Ash, it is Serena who manages to reach him.
:*After Ash is safely back in their dimension, Mirror Serena tells Serena to take good care of Ash; Serena smiles and nods her head in understanding.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena asks Ash if they will always be traveling together from now on, to which a smiling Ash replies with that she should not even have asked such an obvious question.

*''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]''
:*When Clemont hears a story about a Pokémon that controls trees, captures humans who hurts the forest, and eats them, Serena immediately worries about the possibility that Ash might be eaten.
:*After Pikachu finds Ash, Serena is the first one heard saying his name in concern.

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*Serena is immediately worried and asks Ash if he is okay as he lies on the ground after saving her.
:*After Ash injures his foot, Serena nurses it with a wet cloth and her hand seems to linger while she is doing so, and is also apologetic to him, blaming herself that she injured his foot.
:*When Serena exclaims how amazing Ash is after hearing him talk about his dream, he looks at her in surprise. She quickly becomes embarrassed and tends to his foot again to change the subject.
:*Serena takes Ash's advice when he said, "Nothing we ever do is the waste of time," to come up with the idea for a new PokéVision video.
:*Serena is persuaded by Ash that she will find her dream with her Pokémon.

*''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''
:*Serena asks about Ash's prior foot injury with a concerned look on her face.
:*As Ash makes his way back across after saving Bonnie from the other side, Serena, who says in concern that he can do it, conveys that she does not want Ash to lose his footing and hurt himself.

*''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''
:*During the entire episode, each time Serena battles, she is usually ordering Fennekin to support Pikachu. This is an interesting hint since she could have chosen to assist Clemont instead or battle more independently like Clemont and Ash did.
:*When Serena recalls how Ash practiced the rhythm battling style the night before, she is the only one who finds it amusing as she giggles and calls Ash clumsy.

*''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash and his Pokémon are practicing their dancing moves, Bonnie and Clemont start laughing at Ash's clumsiness and Serena tells them to stop.
:*After Clemont's dancing machine blows up, Serena tells Ash that she can teach him to dance. Although the two dancing together is not shown, the scene moves from day to sunset where Ash and Serena have just finished dancing and Ash collapses from exhaustion from a full day's training.

*''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''
:*When Ash's Hawlucha is struggling with the rhythmic battle style, the camera briefly focuses on Serena with a worried look.

:*As Ash and Serena walk away from Bonnie and Clemont, Serena's thoughts are voiced over as she quickly comes to the conclusion that she is on a date with Ash.
:*While walking, Serena blushes and attempts to hold Ash's hand. Her hand is visibly shaking and has turned red, possibly out of nervousness, and she is unable to grab his hand.
:*When Ash and Serena are riding the monorail, Serena sees Ash looking happily out the window; this makes her smile and blush.
:*When Ash goes on his own to look for presents for his Pokémon, Serena is visibly disappointed at being left alone.
:*During the fireworks, when Ash gives Serena the blue ribbon as a gift for helping him out, Serena is surprised, blushes, and happily accepts the gift.

This is the first time that Ash has asked a female [[Ash's friends|companion]] to travel with him. It can also be noted that when Ash asked Serena to travel with him, he appears to be nervous, which is shown in his voice and when he scratches his cheek; cheek scratching is a classic anime symbol for nervousness.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Serena hurts her knee. Ash arrives, takes out a handkerchief upon seeing her injury, and bandages it up for her. Then, he holds out his hand and when she hesitates to take it, he grabs her hand and pulls her up, quickly taking her by surprise and making her fall into his arms in a hug.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''

His is the only face out of everyone present (an audience including Bonnie, Clemont, Dedenne, Froakie, Fletchling and Pikachu) that has a different expression than the others. It is also worth noting that the camera focuses on just Ash's face at first, showing everyone else a few seconds later.

*''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''
:*When the group is separated, Ash is calling out for Serena only, despite others like Bonnie and {{AP|Goomy}} being lost as well.

:*When Bonnie and Clemont notice that Serena is missing, Ash volunteers to go find her.
:*When the group sees Serena's new hairstyle for the first time, Ash is the only one who has a positive reaction. Clemont just asks what happened and Bonnie complains that she preferred Serena's long hair.

*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash. There is also another character connection table with an arrow from Serena to Ash that says "very interested in".
***The aforementioned magazine also includes a poster with Ash and Serena (Clemont and Bonnie are clearly missing) surrounded by Pokémon and hearts. Serena is holding a heart while looking up at Ash.
*There is another official poster from Animedia Magazine of only Serena and Ash sitting next to each other and holding drinks.
*On the official Pokémon movie website for Japan, there is a quiz where one question asks what the dialogue from Serena was at the end of ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' and one of the options is Serena saying, "My dream is, to become Satoshi’s bride… AH! I am embarrassed!"
*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"
**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It should be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.
*When Ash and his traveling companions split up to go look for something, he tends to partner up with Serena.
*Serena looks to Ash for guidance and advice on occasion, and she usually takes his recommendations seriously.
*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.
*So far in the series, three recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, and [[Shauna]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.

Talk:Ash's Noivern

2016-01-28T01:54:25Z

Aggron989: /* XY103 */

Is set to be catched soon. Spoiler in intro. This page should be locked for that reason till the episode airs.
Evidence: https://youtu.be/ngaHP25quUQ?t=48s [[User:Karstvgl|karstvgl]] 21:00, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
:No one is trying to edit the page so there is no reason to lock it yet. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 22:32, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

== Trivia notable? ==

I think the trivia of {{u|MegaKyurem}} is not notable enough. Can any staff check it please? --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 13:49, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

== Onscreen bat catch trivia ==

OK, there's clearly a lot of disagreement about the notability and/or wording of this particular piece of trivia, so I think we should work it out here. Now, here's the gist of it- Ash's Noibat is the first Pokémon based off of a bat whose catch in the anime was actually seen onscreen. Now, even if we don't specify just ones owned by main characters, this still holds true- while Brock's Crobat and Jessie's Woobat were both caught offscreen, something to remember is that we have never seen a character actually catch a Zubat, Golbat, Crobat, Woobat, Swoobat, Noibat, or Noivern onscreen, main, recurring, or otherwise. Considering this breaks a tradition that the anime's upheld since the sixth episode, I can't agree with it not being notable. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 14:26, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
:Still too specific since you're singling out a group of Pokémon. And even still, one Pokémon out of seven (or three, if we're only talking families), that's too small of a group.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:31, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

== English Voice ==

Although the dub won't air for a while, do we know if Noibat will keep its Japanese voice in the dub like Noivern does, did Noibat from before keep its Japanese voice?--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:09, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
:Neither Noibat or Noivern kept their Japanese voice in the dub in their appearances. Furthermore, we don't add in voice actors until the day the actual dubbed episode airs. [[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 17:28, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
:: Noibat I agree because of the dub, but mind telling me why Alexa's page says Noivern's Japanese and English name is Kiyotaka Furushima if they aren't the same?--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 05:54, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

== Supersonic or Screech? ==

Was the attack Noibat used actually mentioned by name? Because if not, it could go either way. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 17:30, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
*Clemont specifically notes it as Supersonic about 6 minutes into the episode. [[User:Frugali|Frugali]] ([[User talk:Frugali|talk]]) 17:35, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

== Is this trivia worthy? ==

Is it trivia worthy that Noibat is Ash's first Flying-type with Flying as its primary type? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 22:03, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
:Noibat and Noivern are the ''only'' Pokémon with Flying as their primary type, so no. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 22:13, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

== Is this trivia worthy? ==

All Ash's Dragon type pokemon was caught without battling Gible, Goomy, Noibat willingly follow Ash after he asked them
Is this trivia worthy? {{unsigned|Makarov5}}
:I think it would only be notable if, in the future, Ash caught a Dragon-type in battle. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 13:47, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

== Noivern ==

A poster for the new XZ series suggest Noibat will soon be evolving --[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 09:34, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
:We know. It's protected.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:45, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
:Just checking--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 09:54, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

== Can this be trivia? ==

Noibat is the only flying type ash has owned that hasn't fully evolved (not counting temporary pokemon).
:I'm not so sure, considering this page is pretty much gonna be protected until that particular bit of trivia no longer holds true. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 18:36, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
::We already know that will not be true for much longer, so it is pointless to add it. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 18:44, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

== Trivia Accuracy ==

Isn't it technically inaccurate to say that Noibat is the only Pokemon to hatch before being given to a member of the main cast, since we don't know exactly when Misty's Azurill hatched? At the very least, I feel like the wording should be changed. [[User:Swiftgallade46|Swiftgallade46]] ([[User talk:Swiftgallade46|talk]]) 20:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
: Except that Misty's Azurill is an off screen egg Pokemon, and I'm pretty sure only onscreen egg Pokemon count for that bit of trivia, since one can argue that throughout the Pokeverse such trivia might apply (even though it says Main Character), but it's irrelevant because it's not onscreen, not to mention Misty was no longer a Main Character when she received Azurill, so again doesn't apply.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 05:03, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

: I dont really see why that would matter...Just because it happened offscreen doesn't mean it didn't happen. Also, Misty (and all other travelling companions) will technically always be a Main Character as far as Trivia is concerned. For example, if she were to Mega Evolve her Gyarados right now, the Trivia section would still refer to her as the first Main Character to Mega Evolve a Pokemon to-date. [[User:Swiftgallade46|Swiftgallade46]] ([[User talk:Swiftgallade46|talk]]) 12:19, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

== XY103 ==

==Border==
I've brought this up before about the horrid border coloration, but it has still stayed in place. I have an idea, in that we could colour it white and blue, like his clothing. It would look so much nicer. Torngentleman2 10:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I think we should get rid of that note next to his age. If he hasn't aged over all that time, he's never going to reach 11. So I think we should just list his age as 10 and nothing but, so it looks neater. [[User:Torngentleman2|Torngentleman2]] 14:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Reshiram/Zekrom ==

Both [[Sam]] and Ash befriended Celebi equally yet Sam is the only one who has Celebi on his page. And since I didn't see the movie, I have no idea if Ash had as much influence over Reshiram/Zekrom as Dread Grangil did.

:Unless Ash specifically gave Reshiram/Zekrom commands, then they're just like all of the other legendaries he's befriended and worked with. Ash has to have some sort of dominance over them and/or having an extremely close relationship like May and Manaphy rather than just going along for the ride. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:50, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Meaning he had to send either Snivy, Tepig, or Scraggy (not Oshawott because he was there too). A lot of times they don't reveal who Ash sent back when he withdrew another.

== Ash's Gliscor ==

Hi. um. Shouldn't Gliscor should be in the section with Charizard and Squirtle instead of the "Status Unknown". I mean, Ash left Gliscor with the Air Battle Master and then he recalled Gliscor back for the Sinnoh League. And if Gliscor is not in Pf. Oak's lab, Gliscor should be back with the Air Battle Master.{{unsigned|Mr. RPG}}

:Everyone is being needlessly picky and saying that we don't have confirmation that Gliscor went back into training. I argued on [[Talk:Ash's Gliscor]] that on one of Charizard's reappearances it was not confirmed that it went back to the Valley until it appeared next, yet that appears not to be a problem. Nothing suggests that Torterra or any of the others were sent back to Oak's lab - it was presumed. Why shouldn't Gliscor be presumed as well?

::Maybe he decided to keep Gliscor after it returned from McCann because its training was complete. Not like it had some special duty like Primeape, Squirtle, and Charizard. We can't assume things with Pokémon that are in training.

== Pikachu in Rotation? ==

OK, I know there has already been a big dispute over stuff like this, but I don't think it makes sense to say Pikachu is in rotation. Pikachu is ALWAYS with Ash in every episode, and Ash would need to transfer Pikachu via a Poké Ball, which Pikachu has not been in since the 1st episode. I think we can safely say that Pikachu is "on hand." サトシ 23:03, 27 December 2011 (UTC) ([[User:Satoshi101]])

::::::He's there because it's a little silly just to create a special little section for just Pikachu while everyone else is in rotation. We are aware that he would never take Pikachu off of his team. It's just to avoid having to update it every week and making unneeded sections.

Another Trivia piece if you don't mind......

Every time Ash battles and defeats a rival, he constantly loses to the next one in league tournaments, usually because his opponents are older, more experienced trainers with Pokémon that Ash has never seen or battled before.

Other than the Orange League, Ash has never won a league tournament.

Ash seems to catch less Pokémon when he is traveling with a new trainer.
While traveling with May he caught 6 Pokémon, and while traveling with Dawn he caught 5 and obtained Buizel by trading with Dawn.
While traveling with Misty he caught 18 Pokémon not counting Pikachu which he obtained by Professor Oak, and so far while traveling with Cilan and Iris he has caught 7 Pokémon and hatched Scraggy from an egg.

::He gets like that in almost ''every'' region. They turn Ash into an idiot to reflect the in-game thing of always starting a new adventure and having weak Pokémon etc. People might think it's foolish, but at the same time, the creators imagine the viewers are always a new generation of children, who don't know that you have to weaken a Pokémon first to catch it. So they hinder Ash's experience and intelligence to teach new viewers.

::::The anime has a Trainr experience tier and whoever is the lowest has to be portrayed as the rookie. In both Advance and DP, Ash had friends that were less experienced than he was thus the part of the inexperienced rookie was taken off of him. But because Iris and Cilan have been Trainers longer than he has (in anime time) he's the one that needs to be portrayed as the rookie.

== Pokemon Team Rotation ==

It says "In the Unova region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at Professor Juniper's lab, much like he did with his Kingler and Muk in Kanto with Professor Oak.", but this is incorrect. He's never had Kingler on his team. It went directly to Professor Oak and has only been used in league competitions. Muk was sent to Professor Oak because of its strong smell and, again, has only been used in Pokemon league competition. Someone should change this. [[User:MattySadler]]

== About Ash's international name ==

In the table of Names section, it says that Ash's name in Mandarin Chinese "can mean 'young wisdom' or 'little knowledge'". I'm from mainland China and I can tell that this is not correct.

In China, the character "小" before another character as a nickname is used when referring to a person younger than the speaker, especially a child or teenager. The character right after it is often a character from his/her given name. For instance, a boy called "王明" can be referred as "小明", or a girl called "李芬芳" can be called "小芳" as a nickname. You may read [[wikipedia:Chinese name|this]] for more information about Chinese names.

Thus, "小智" in this case follows the same rule, that it can be considered only as "little Zhì (this must be transliterated as it derives from [[Satoshi Tajiri]])" but not "young wisdom" or "little knowledge". I therefore ask for a correction about this. [[User:Prcuvu|Prcuvu]] ([[User talk:Prcuvu|talk]]) 14:10, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

== Trainer ID ==

So, similar to how we do for {{DL|N|Trivia|N}}, could it be noted in the trivia section that Ash has the trainer ID of 01301 because of the distributed Pikachu? Or id this considered a different case as Ash really isn't a game character? [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 17:42,2/21/2014 (UTC)
:There have been [[Ash's Pikachu#In the games|two Pikachu distributions]] with Ash's name, as well as a distribution for [[Ash's Scraggy#In the games|Scraggy]]. All use different IDs. If anything, I'd say Ash's "ID" is too inconsistent to be considered trivia. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 20:23, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

== Temporary Pokemon ==

In the [[EP190]] "The Stolen Stones!" , Ash ride an Arcanine he doesn't own several minutes, so why not add this Arcanine to this section ? {{unsigned|LeoKetchumB}}

== Aura capabilities ==

I think people greatly overestimate what Ash can do. The only time he has actually used Aura was in the movie and that looked to me like he could do so only because he wore the guardian's gloves at the time. In the other very handful anime instances, I thought the Pokemon of which auras he felt were making him feel it, he didn't sense it by himself, it was their doing. Not sure if the original Japanese dub says something different, but Ash is hardly an aura user in my opinion. I disagree with the statement on this page [[aura]] that he is a true user. --[[User:Elveonora|Elveonora]] ([[User talk:Elveonora|talk]]) 22:19, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I disagree. There's a difference between having mastered Aura Abilities and being a true Aura User. Ash is a true Aura User. The anime special even capitalized on this with the canon connection, therefore establishing his Aura Abilities. Ash has no form of training at all with Aura, but the movie and special did an amazing job at proving Ash has Aura Powers and the potential to be a skilled Aura Wielder if he trained. As for the pkmn he sensed, Riolu, he pretty much did it on his own a few times. [[User:-AuraGuardian-|-AuraGuardian-]] ([[User talk:-AuraGuardian-|talk]]) 07:46, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

== Trainer Class ==

Should Baron be added to Ash's Trainer Class? Ash reached Baron status at the Battle Chateau and other trainers such as Viola, Grant and the others have their (at least in game) titles under their trainer class. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:29, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

== XY 029 ==

In Pokemon XY Episode 29, There is a new opening. In the opening, it shows Ash, sitting on a cliff, looking at the stars, possibly contemplating to attempt suicide because he can't take this immortality anymore [lol]. But on a serious note, In addition to Pikachu and Froakie, it seems ash's Fletchling evolved, as well as there being a Hawlucha.

Would this mean Ash now has 4 Pokemon on hand? and shouldn't it be added to his page, if not to trivia/additional details? {{unsigned|AJDOH}}

== Calling him not smart? ==

I noticed this somewhere in the information listed under Character.

Does Noibat's egg count as being under Ash's ownership? Yeah, he helped it to hatch but it wasn't registered to him like his past eggs were... no-one gifted it to him and it wasn't marked by a Poké Ball prior to hatching. Officially, Noibat didn't belong to him until he actually captured it. It's like how Mankey and Sandile don't count as Ash's Pokémon since he didn't catch it them until after they evolved.

The In training section of Ash's Pokémon says that "'''Some''' can be called upon at any time if needed.". Some means at least two, but not all of them, right?

:The page is basically mentioning how many different Pokemon Ash owns and how many different species of Pokemon he owns. For instance, the amount of Pokemon he officially owns is 68 and previous evolutions don't count. For example, Ash's Froakie and Frogadier are counted as one, because they're technically the same Pokemon, as Froakie evolved into a Frogadier. The second list is all of the different kinds of Pokemon he owns. So for this list, the previous evolutions are included. So these Pokemon include, Pikachu, Froakie, Frogadier, Noibat, Tauros, Muk, Krabby, Kingler, Treecko, etc. The other information was just specific information on each of the captures that he has. Like how many Pokemon don't have any pre-evolutions or evolutions, how many he has captured that have already evolved and how many are apart of a two-stage evolutionary line.

In the Trivia for Ash Ketchum, the first sentence about Ash's Gym battle rematches listed below is "incorrect" and makes no sense at all.

INCORRECT: "Ash has lost at least one Gym battle in every region."
He lost to Brock, Lt. Surge, Sabrina and Blaine in Kanto, Whitney in Johto, Brawly in Hoenn, Roark in Sinnoh, Lenora in Unova, and Viola in Kalos.

This is incorrect because Ash had "four" rematches in Kanto, not one. He had a rematch against (1) Brock, (2) Lt. Surge, (3) Sabrina and (4) Blaine.

In Hoenn, he had a rematch with (1) Brawly and (2) Norman.

In Sinnoh, he had a rematch with (1) Roark and (2) Fatina.

The other regions, however, are correct.

Can you please fix this mistake and word it differently? If not, I would consider omitting it.
[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 04:18, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

: 'ATLEAST' means a minimum rematch at one gym in every region, which makes your point invalid [[User:Upratik 12|Pratik_12]] '' [[User talk:Upratik 12|Talk]]''
::Upratik is right, plus Ash's first battles against both Norman and Fantina were both unofficial. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 08:06, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

You made your point about Norman and Fantina, but Ash had lost "more than one Gym battle in Kanto."

CORRECT: "Ash has lost at least one Gym battle in every region, except for Kanto (He lost against five gym leaders in Kanto: Brock, Lt. Surge, Sabrina, Erika and Blaine). He had a rematch against (1) Brock, (2) Lt. Surge, (3) Sabrina and (4) Blaine. He did not have a rematch against Erika. She gave him the Rainbow badge for rescuing Gloom from the fire."

== Rayquaza, Latios and Latias ==

I know there have been a lot of discussion about weather legendary Pokémon should be added here but theses 3 dragons that appeared in the latest movie are a different case. We've always determined any Pokémon Ash has given a command to as qualifying for the Temporary section. He commanded these three to do specific moves several times and even formulated complicated strategies. In fact he even commented on it being a "battle".

:First: you already started a section for this exact same issue almost right above this. Please do not create new sections when there is no need.
:Second: you say that ''"Ash has lost at least one Gym battle in every region"'' is not correct. Then you also say that ''"He lost against five gym leaders in Kanto"'' is correct. If Ash lost to five Gym Leaders, he also lost to ''at least'' one Gym Leader.
:I mean no offense, but it seems your grasp of English is lacking in this area. Please trust mine as well as Upratik_12 and Playerking95's word when we tell you: the wording that you say is incorrect is ''not''. Please do not change the trivia again. If you want to continue to discuss it to attempt to understand your mistake, you may do so here; just, again, '''do not''' change that piece of trivia. Thank you.

== Changing unofficial heading to befriended heading in the title Pokemon ==

I think it would be better to change the unofficial heading in the title Pokemon to Befriended. What do you think? [[User:PokemonCool|PokemonCool]] ([[User talk:PokemonCool|talk]]) 17:09, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:I think "unofficial" is more descriptive because for the episodes Haunter and Larvitar were with Ash, they were essentially his Pokémon and he treated them as such but he never actually caught them. Ash has befriended lots of Pokémon besides just Haunter and Larvitar. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 18:06, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

But then we should add all the pokemon he befriended along with haunter and larvitar. [[User:PokemonCool|PokemonCool]] ([[User talk:PokemonCool|talk]]) 13:38, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
:Some of the Pokémon he's befriended are already under the "temporary" section. Haunter and Larvitar are special because for a time, they were unofficially a part of Ash's team. All of the other Pokémon he befriended were for the most part one-time appearances that had no lasting impact on Ash's journey.

==Templates==
When using templates, such as [[Template:P|P]], make sure you use these (<nowiki>{{ and }}</nowiki>) instead of the brackets (<nowiki>[[ and ]]</nowiki>). Otherwise it appears as a red link and creates a wanted page. Thanks. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 18:01, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

:::::To clarify what Abcboy said. The links would have worked, but not to the desired page because the brackets were used instead. For example, <nowiki>[[p|Shroomish]]</nowiki> would link to [[P]], instead of {{p|Shroomish}}. They wouldn't have appeared as redlinks, because a page does exist at the name P. Whereas if you used <nowiki>{{p|Shroomish}}</nowiki> it would have liked to the correct page. The brackets are used to link to a page, but the others are used for a template.

I know gender is not revealed but if you check Gender differences page. Besides I know the difference with Raichu's tail. Male has a point tail and female lacks a point. I checked it out on Ash's page and it was male.--[[User:JasonL|Jay 21]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]]) 11:48, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
:I checked the gender differences too and I agree that it looks more like a male than a female, but with gender differences such as Raichu's, I personally don't think judging by looks is reliable enough. The anime has size and shape discrepancies sometimes. It's a similar case to the reason we don't know the gender of [[Paul's Weavile]], for example.

== Heya ==

Just to let you know off the discussion, I asked [[User talk:Pokemaster97|Pokemaster97]] for a feel of which way it might go, so that we know what to do after the page is unprotected. I'll let you read the comments there (if interested) rather than quote any of them here, but it appears the subject will be discussed sometime today, so I agree it's best to let the conversation be (having both presented perfectly valid points for and against) and let the staff decide what the best course of action is. Besides, I'm running out of examples. LOL [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:14, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Did you see the [[Ash's Pikachu]] talk page update? They reached a consensus, and game events already being on the page will be sufficient from now on.

Pokémon is one of my hopeless obsessions, hence the reason I like helping out here.

I can't honestly say that I remember when I first really started getting into Pokémon, but my very first game was Pokémon Ruby. I was really young when I first started playing and I didn't know how to do ''anything'', but I have since then gotten a lot better and I am now acquainted with this concept of IV-breeding and EV-training. What? There's actual ''math'' behind Pokémon battles? How about that. After a while, I began actively paying attention to my Pokémon's stats and IVs and I finally got truly good{{tt|*|at least by my standards}} at making competitive Pokémon in Omega Ruby, where I now spend much of my time battling other people online via the Battle Spot. I also play the Pokémon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games.

It's debatable whether I'm a bigger fan of the anime or the games. I've seen every main series episode of the anime and I've been making sure to watch each new episode as soon as possible. I still haven't seen all of the Chronicles yet, but I have seen all of the movies. I love the anime. It's a lot of fun and although I do like other animes, I like that Pokémon isn't as graphic (or sometimes just plain disturbing) as others can be. My favorite episode is ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' and my favorite characters include Misty, James, Max, Cilan, Iris, Clemont, and Bonnie. I like all of the main characters, actually. I'd just say that those are my favorites.

<s>I have been keeping just as much up-to-date with the manga as I have with the anime and games.</s> Oh, don't I wish. I love the manga, but unfortunately there are a lot of chapters I have yet to read. Maybe I'll catch up on that someday. Of the manga chapters that I ''have'' read, my favorite is RS and my favorite characters are Ruby, Sapphire, and Black. My favorite Pokémon in the manga is Feefee.

==Me and Bulbapedia==
I joined Bulbapedia back in December of 2012, when I was one of those new users that just added random bits of trivia or asked questions that didn't really need to be asked if I actually did my research before asking the question. But I've gotten better... I think. As of late, I've tended to focus on the anime articles more than anything else, although I contribute wherever I see something that needs editing.

I try to be as nice as I can when I interact with other users. It's very easy for people to misunderstand each other while communicating online, so I tend to be very conscious about what I post for the public to see. If you ever feel like I'm being a jerk, please let me know, because I definitely do ''not'' want to come across that way!

Just in case this is needed - if you see something on one of my to-be-mainspaced user subpages that needs fixing, don't bother asking unless it's a major change. Any and all help catching and fixing mistakes is much appreciated.

If you want to talk to me about non-Bulbapedia related things, look for me on the forums.

==Video game stuff==
* In Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, my best character is by far Ness. My second best character is Luigi, but the difference in my skill level between the two of them is huge.
* My favorite video game is Metroid Fusion, but I haven't played any other Metroid games to completion except for that one.
* My other video game interests include Phoenix Wright, Harvest Moon, the Legend of Zelda, Sonic (sort of), Super Smash Bros., and Mario.

==Closing thoughts==

'''Poké Puffs''' (Japanese: '''ポフレ''' ''Pofflé'') are small cake-like confections introduced in [[Generation VI]].

==In the games==
Poké Puffs are used in [[Pokémon-Amie]] in order to raise the {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|affection}} of the {{player}}'s Pokémon. Poké Puffs come in five flavors: Sweet, Mint, Citrus, Mocha, and Spice. These flavors are purely aesthetic and have no impact on the affection gained by the Pokémon. Poké Puffs can be obtained by playing {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|minigames}} and have more significant impacts on the Pokémon's level of affection depending on their level.

|}

Poké Puffs also come in a rarer fifth variant, Supreme, which has special flavors. These come in two varieties, obtained in different ways. The seasonal varieties are obtained after scoring 5 stars on an Unlimited mini-game. The remaining two are left by {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|visitors}} to the player's Pokémon-Amie space after special events.

The player may hold a maximum of 100 Poké Puffs. If the player already has 100 Poké Puffs, gaining any additional Poké Puffs will force the player to lose the first Poké Puffs in the inventory.

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Puffs anime 2.png|frame|right|250px|Poké Puffs in the anime]]
Poké Puffs were first introduced in the anime in ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''. Much like {{an|May}} with [[Pokéblock]]s and {{an|Dawn}} with [[Poffin]]s, {{an|Serena}} likes to make Poké Puffs for her friends and Pokémon. Depending on how they are made, Poké Puffs can be enjoyed by people or Pokémon, but are almost always prepared for the latter. Each Poké Puff is made with a specific Pokémon in mind to eat it, so that the baker can create a delicacy that is certain to be loved by a certain type of Pokémon.

Similarly to the way Pokéblocks and Poffins are made, Poké Puffs require the use of [[berries]] to be made, because certain berries will make good Poké Puffs for certain Pokémon. For example, a [[Tamato Berry]]-topped Poké Puff was enjoyed greatly by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and an [[Oran Berry]] Poké Puff was enjoyed by [[Clemont's Dedenne]].

In the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]], the theme performance was to create Poké Puffs that would be eaten by [[Santo]]'s {{p|Mime Jr.}}, [[Gena]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and [[Delilah]]'s {{p|Furfrou}}. Based on their Pokémon's reactions, the judges would decide which Performer would proceed to the next round.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Puff Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Puff in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|X & Y}}, {{adv|Y}} caught an {{p|Eevee}} and sought to befriend it quickly using several features of [[Pokémon-Amie]] to raise its affection, including Poké Puffs. Her efforts paid off as Eevee, which she nicknamed Vuivui, evolved into {{p|Sylveon}} during Y's battle with two {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s.

'''Revelation Mountain''' (Japanese: '''テンケイ山''' ''Revelation Mountain'') is a mountain dungeon with an integral role in the plot of [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], and is in fact visited twice within the story, during Chapters 9 and 16, with differences in the Pokémon that are found on both visits. As the mountain is treated as a sacred place that only the chosen may enter, the player cannot revisit this dungeon unless they visit it through [[Pelipper Island]], after clearing said mountain both times. The version of the mountain visited at the island depends on ''when'' it was visited during the story.

== The secret of Revelation Mountain ==
{{spoilers}}
It is regarded as a forbidden and sacred place and to enforce that no one reaches the peak let alone enter the mountain, the [[Serene Village]] adults usually have guard duty. Also, it holds a secret that villagers in question seem to be aware of, however they refuse to elaborate about it when asked because it is to keep the spring, a small pond filled with special water known as Luminous Water that reverses the effects of Pokémon being turned into stone, found at the mountain's peak a secret from evil. Even if one should get by the security to the mountain's peak, they would need to overcome a barrier to access the spring, which can only be broken by a Pokémon that was from the human world.

=== First Expedition ===
{{p|Nuzleaf}} gets the idea to visit the mountain as days go by and the idea of waiting for the player to remember something about their past life bore no fruit. Nuzleaf then proceeds to take the player and the partner to the side while elaborating of going to Revelation Mountain in secret, much to the shock of the partner. Despite this, Nuzleaf explains why he's going there: he believes that the mountain is somehow linked to the reason of the player being made from a human to a Pokémon, even if it is just a feeling. However, he does plan to retreat if his plan should start going south. Nuzleaf then invites the duo to tag along, to which they do so.

After completing preparations to go to the mountain, the trio then head off to the entrance. At the gate, {{p|Hippopotas}} is guarding the way. Nuzleaf tells the player and partner that the adults take turns guarding the mountain's entrance, with the player bringing up the question of what to do if that' is the case. Nuzleaf then proceeds to walk up to Hippopotas and tells him that there was a "mistake in guard duty", which Hippopotas buys and happily walks off, giving Nuzleaf and his posse access to the mountain.

Sometime later, after scaling half of mountain, the trio come across yet another gate, but with much fiercer-looking security than Hippopotas, this being a {{p|Poliwrath}}, officers {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, and {{p|Magnezone}}, and a {{p|Beedrill}}. The trio soon realize how pointless of a cause it would be to try to fight their way through them, and had no choice but to turn back, the expedition being deemed a failure as no answers were given to the player about their memory.

Back at the village, they express their disappointment and Nuzleaf then has to go tell Hippopotas that the mix-up was a mistake within itself.

=== Second Expedition ===
Later, during the events of Chapter 16, after the player and partner are greeted by their ex-schoolmate {{p|Espurr}} in their return to Serene Village, Nuzleaf comes down the path in a hurry, demanding they head to Revelation Mountain immediately as some {{p|Krookodile|Pokémon}} he's never seen before is invading it, with the then-unknown Pokémon having easily torn through Nuzleaf's security, claiming that it happened so fast, Nuzleaf had no time to react. Nuzleaf then identifies the Pokémon to {{p|Archen}}, a member of the Expedition Society as "red, ornery-lookin', and looked like a crook." which turned out to be Krookodile. As the group heads toward the mountain, Espurr offers the player and partner her assistance, however the partner refuses by saying that Krookodile is a rather tough enemy, and instead tells her to warn {{p|Ampharos}}, if the player and partner fail to return from Revelation Mountain. With that, the four head off to the entrance gate.

At the gate, they find it completely in shambles. Archen then says as they were running to the mountain's entrance, Nuzleaf had let him know about the secret of the mountain that the villagers zealously guarded, which could be why Krookodile attacked Nuzleaf and tore through the mountain. They hurry along posthaste to the second half of the mountain. After arriving at the second gate, it turns out that the group of Pokémon that were guarding the higher part of the mountain were easily defeated by Krookodile and the second gate is just as damaged as the entrance gate. They are filled in on the situation, and then the four hurry along to pursue Krookodile.

Later, between the 10th and 11th floors of the sacred mountain, the group is still making headway until Archen and the player are contacted by {{p|Dedenne}}'s team, known as the [[Prehistoric Ruins]] expedition team. Nuzleaf reacts in surprise, hearing voices coming from the gadgets, and the partner then explains to Nuzleaf where said voices are coming from. Archen replies in that they are able to hear Dedenne, and his team are currently scaling the sacred mountain in hot pursuit of Krookodile. Dedenne wonders what they are doing at a forbidden place like Revelation Mountain, but Archen doesn't have time to fill his teammate in on the details, and instead asks how Dedenne's team is doing.

Dedenne replies that things are going rather well on their end, having made it quite far through the Ruins, just then Bunnelby has found something, or someone rather. Then, Dedenne and their crew's communication go dead due to being attacked by an unknown assailant. No one seems to know what has happened to them, but Archen urges the team to move along, saying it would not be a good idea to turn around and stop what they were doing, reassuring the group that Dedenne and his crew are quite strong and thus can handle themselves with the most important task at hand being to stop Krookodile from reaching the peak. They agree and move on. After scaling the mountain some more, with still not a hide nor hair present of Krookodile, Nuzleaf spots some light off in the distance and they hurry to check it out.

AmourShipping

2016-01-22T19:55:43Z

Aggron989: Undo revision 2387651 by Kenzey (talk) How is that related to Ash?

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's backpack to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.

:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them.

*So far in the series, three recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, and [[Shauna]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.
**In the ending credits, when Ash and the others see a shooting star, Serena is making a wish and Ash is the only one who is looking at her while Clemont and Bonnie start sleeping.

== Similarities ==
*They both wear hats and are based off of a playable character from the games: {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Serena}}, respectively.
*Both [[Serena's Fennekin]] and [[Ash's Froakie]] were originally [[Professor Sycamore]]'s.
**Both Pokémon have evolved under their ownership, {{AP|Greninja}} and {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}.
*Both Ash and Serena have had only their mothers make an appearance in the anime: {{Delia}} and {{kal|Grace}}, respectively.
*Both own at least one Pokémon that wears sunglasses: Ash owns a {{AP|Krookodile}} and a {{AP|Squirtle}}, while Serena owns a {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}.
*Their first {{t|Fighting}} types were {{AP|Primeape}} and Pancham respectively, both of which have coincidentally stolen Ash's hat.
*They both own a Pokédex.
*They both know how to ride Rhyhorn, Skiddo, and Mamoswine.
*Both have unknown fathers.
*Both have changed their hats at some point.
*Both have traveled through their home regions in two different traveling outfits.
*Both have been hit in the face with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack by the first {{type|Fire}} they owned.
**Serena was burned by her Fennekin and Ash has been burned by his {{TP|Ash|Charizard}} multiple times.
*Before they eat, both usually take their hats off.
*They both received a new [[Pokédex]] from Professor Sycamore in ''[[XY092|All Eyes on the Future!]]''.

== Trivia ==
*Ash and Serena met each other when they were young at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. This would make it the first time a [[Ash's friends|traveling companion]] of Ash's knew him prior to [[EP001|the beginning of the series]].
*"SatoSere", the shipping's Japanese name, has been trending in Japan on Twitter at various times.
**Junichi Masuda, a Pokémon composer, has tweeted a picture of Ash and Serena as Pikachu, playing with one another. In the actual tweet, he tagged multiple AmourShipping accounts.
*Serena is the only one of Ash's friends so far to not have invited herself along with him and to travel with Ash, and was instead invited.
*Serena is the first one of Ash's female companions not to get shocked by his Pikachu.

== Alternate names ==
* '''SatoSere''' - often used, this name is taken from '''Sato'''shi and '''Sere'''na
* '''AASL''' - standing for '''A'''sh '''A'''nd '''S'''erena '''L'''ove
* '''ChildhoodShipping''' - another name of the shipping, due to the fact that Ash and Serena met each other when they were young at Professor Oak's Summer Camp in Pallet Town.

Poké Puff

2016-01-22T02:03:17Z

Aggron989:

{{mainspace}}

'''Poké Puffs''' (Japanese: '''ポフレ''' ''Pofflé'') are small cake-like confections introduced in [[Generation VI]].

==In the games==
Poké Puffs are used in [[Pokémon-Amie]] in order to raise the {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|affection}} of the {{player}}'s Pokémon. Poké Puffs come in five flavors: Sweet, Mint, Citrus, Mocha, and Spice. These flavors are purely aesthetic and have no impact on the affection gained by the Pokémon. Poké Puffs can be obtained by playing {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|minigames}} and have more significant impacts on the Pokémon's level of affection depending on their level.

|}

Poké Puffs also come in a rarer fifth variant, Supreme, which has special flavors. These come in two varieties, obtained in different ways. The seasonal varieties are obtained after scoring 5 stars on an Unlimited mini-game. The remaining two are left by {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|visitors}} to the player's Pokémon-Amie space after special events.

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Puffs anime 2.png|frame|right|250px|Poké Puffs in the anime]]
Poké Puffs were first introduced in the anime in ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''. Much like {{an|May}} with [[Pokéblock]]s and {{an|Dawn}} with [[Poffin]]s, {{an|Serena}} likes to make Poké Puffs for her friends and Pokémon. Depending on how they are made, Poké Puffs can be enjoyed by people or Pokémon, but are almost always prepared for the latter. Each Poké Puff is made with a specific Pokémon in mind to eat it, so that the baker can create a delicacy that is certain to be loved by a certain type of Pokémon.

Similarly to the way Pokéblocks and Poffins are made, Poké Puffs require the use of [[berries]] to be made, because certain berries will make good Poké Puffs for certain Pokémon. For example, a [[Tamato Berry]]-topped Poké Puff was enjoyed greatly by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and an [[Oran Berry]] Poké Puff was enjoyed by [[Clemont's Dedenne]].

In the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]], the theme performance was to create Poké Puffs that would be eaten by [[Santo]]'s {{p|Mime Jr.}}, [[Gena]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and [[Delilah]]'s {{p|Furfrou}}. Based on their Pokémon's reactions, the judges would decide which Performer would proceed to the next round.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Puff Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Puff in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|X & Y}}, {{adv|Y}} caught an {{p|Eevee}} and sought to befriend it quickly using several features of [[Pokémon-Amie]] to raise its affection, including Poké Puffs. Her efforts paid off as Eevee, which she nicknamed Vuivui, evolved into {{p|Sylveon}} during Y's battle with two {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s.

[[File:Emera PSMD.png|thumb|right|Artwork of emeras]]
'''Emeras''' (Japanese: '''ラピス''' ''Lapis'') are items introduced in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]. By putting them into [[looplet]]s, Pokémon can gain beneficial effects while traveling through a dungeon. Emeras disappear outside of a dungeon, and if they are not collected quickly, they will shatter into pieces. However, if player collects enough of the pieces, a new emera can be formed. They can also be used to temporarily raise a stat. They first appear during the trip to [[Glittering Mountain]].

==Blurb==

In Anistar City, where Serena is rehearsing for the next Pokémon Showcase, our heroes get a nice surprise when their friends Tierno and Shauna arrive with newly evolved Pokémon! Serena’s new friend Eevee is skittish and shy in the presence of so many others, and she suggests a Tag Battle so Eevee can gain some experience and confidence.

The matchup features Ash and Tierno versus Serena and Shauna! When Tierno and his Blastoise go into their usual battle dance, Eevee starts toe-tapping right along with them, and soon it’s leaping and whirling faster than Blastoise can follow! It gets one good hit in with Swift as Serena watches, starry-eyed...and then she asks everyone to put the battle on hold so her team can rehearse a new performance idea!

Ash and Tierno happily continue the battle on their own as Serena and Shauna go off to practice—because the next morning, it’s time to register for the Showcase!

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{an|Serena}}, {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}, and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} rehearsing for their upcoming [[Pokémon Showcase]] in [[Anistar City]], with {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}, and Serena's [[XY088|newly caught]] {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} watching from the side of the battlefield at the Anistar [[Pokémon Center]]. Although the group applaud Serena and compliment her on her performance, Serena assures them that she needs more practice. She tells Eevee to watch their performance closely so that she can participate in the next Showcase and thanks Bunnelby for its help taking care of Eevee.

After {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} makes a sudden appearance and tries to chase an intimidated Eevee, {{an|Tierno}} arrives with his {{p|Blastoise}} and greets everyone. As Bonnie plays with Blastoise, Ash and {{ashfr}} are surprised when {{an|Shauna}} and her {{p|Ivysaur}} turn up as well. Shauna, who has also come to participate in the Anistar Showcase, is greeted enthusiastically by Serena. Although Eevee is frightened by the presence of strangers, Serena gently reassures her new Pokémon and introduces her to Shauna. After Shauna expounds on Serena's [[Eeveelution|wide range of performance opportunities for Eevee]], everyone heads inside for some food and Tierno explains that although {{an|Trevor}} was supposed to meet up with everyone as well, he found a new Pokémon that he had yet to take a photograph of. Tierno then reveals, much to everyone's surprise, that he already challenged the [[Anistar Gym]] but failed to earn a [[Badge]] there.

Meanwhile, Bunnelby is still staying close to Eevee in order to help her feel more comfortable with her new friends. After witnessing Bunnelby give Eevee a Poké Puff, Chespin nervously approaches with a Poké Puff of its own and offers it to Eevee, but she is still afraid of Chespin and refuses to take it. While she comforts Eevee, Serena tells Shauna and Tierno about Eevee's gift for dancing, but Shauna points out that in a well-attended event like a Showcase, Eevee is liable to get extremely nervous on stage. To help Eevee adjust to traveling with Serena, several of Ash's and Clemont's Pokémon stand in a line to be introduced to Eevee one by one. Eevee successfully makes a small connection each with {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, {{AP|Frogadier}}, and Pikachu, but Chespin is unable to maintain composure as Eevee approaches it and accidentally frightens her away again. Later, Serena reassures Eevee and learns that Eevee very much wants to perform with her new Trainer, but has trouble building up the confidence to do so.

After [[Aria]], the Kalos Queen, appears on television, Serena recalls [[XY064|the time she met Aria]] and the advice she had been given. Her memory of that day inspires her to challenge Shauna, Tierno, and Ash to a tag battle in order to help build Eevee's confidence. Everyone gathers outside at the battlefield again, preparing for battle - Ash's Pikachu and Tierno's Blastoise against Shauna's Ivysaur and Serena's Eevee. Pikachu and Ivysaur use {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, respectively, and the moves cancel each other out in midair. Blastoise then enters the fray with a {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, which is deflected by Eevee's quick use of {{m|Protect}}. After Blastoise dodges a {{m|Razor Leaf}} from Ivysaur, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and aims at Eevee. Eevee, who is frightened by Pikachu's attack, trips over her feet and is unable to dodge the powerful move, but is saved by Ivysaur's timely intervention. Serena, Bonnie, and the Pokémon watching the battle all cheer Eevee on, and Eevee begins to feel more reassured as she gets ready to continue the battle. Tierno and Blastoise start their rhythmic dancing, and Eevee easily dodges Blastoise's carefully timed {{m|Water Gun}} and begins dancing herself, effectively confusing Blastoise. At this, Pikachu and Ivysaur jump back into the battle with moves of their own as Eevee lands a powerful {{m|Swift}} attack on Blastoise.

Suddenly, however, Serena asks to stop the battle. Watching Eevee battle Blastoise has given her a new idea for a performance, and she wants to start training right away. She and her Pokémon head to another area to rehearse, and Shauna decides to do the same while Ash and Tierno begin a one-on-one battle against each other instead. Meanwhile, Serena asks Eevee to teach her, Braixen, and Pancham how to dance for the upcoming Showcase, and Eevee agrees. The next morning, everyone is running late and races to the Pokémon Showcase so Serena and Shauna can sign up before registration closes.

===Errors===
* When Serena is showing Shauna and Ivysaur her Eevee, the insides of Ivysaur's ear is colored dark green rather than black. This error repeats again when Shauna orders it to use {{m|Energy Ball}}.
* When Serena tells Eevee to befriend with Pikachu, Frogadier, Dedenne and Chespin, Chespin's teeth are missing when it opens its mouth.
* In one scene, Dedenne's tooth is missing.
* When Blastoise is dancing with Eevee, its lower jaw is incorrectly colored blue rather than cream.
* When Serena, Panchan, Braixen, and Eevee went upstairs, Pikachu's brown spot on his tail is missing. This occurred again when Ash is chatting with Tierno.
* When the gang is running at the end of the episode, Serena has her bag on when she comes out of the door, however when it shows her close up her bag is missing and it then reappears in the last shot.
* In the dub, after Ivysaur gets hit by Pikachu's Iron Tail and Shauna asks it if it's alright, Ivysaur's mouth moves but no sound comes out.

== Episode 29 is the last episdode of Season 17 (Pokémon the Series: XY)? ==

As far as I've seen, the UK has not aired any more episodes after the 29th, so I guess it could be safe to assume that the 29th episode concludes "Pokémon the Series: XY" outside of Japan. —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 13:40, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
:We don't assume things though. UK not airing any more episodes before the US doesn't say anything. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 13:43, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
::According to the CITV staff, they will air the remaining episodes of the current season this autumn. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 15:10, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

== Next season? ==

I know that speculation is not really a good thing to do, but I feel as though what I'm presenting should be noted for determining when the next season is going to start. The evidence is starting to appear.
First off, the dub is reaching the point where the season switches. The lengths of the previous seasons are as follows (note that only episodes that use the [[Bulbapedia:Epicode|epicode]] count unless otherwise noted, even if the episode did not air):
*[[Pokémon: Indigo League|Season 1]]: 80 episodes in Japan, 81 in the English dub, and 52 according to the official Pokémon website (the "official" listing excludes [[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]], [[EP035]], and [[EP038]]).
*[[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Season 2]]: 36 episodes in Japan, 35 in the dub, and 49 according to the official Pokémon website (the "official" listing includes [[Snow Way Out!]], but excludes [[EP090|Stage Fright]])
*[[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|Season 3]]: 66 episodes in Japan (going by when the opening changed), 41 in the dub, and 52 according to the official Pokémon website (also, while unrelated, the page for this season on the website uses the season 1 logo)
*[[Pokémon: Johto League Champions|Season 4]]: 45 episodes in Japan (going by when the opening changed) and 52 in the dub (the "official" listing matches the dub for this season).
*[[Pokémon: Master Quest|Season 5]]: 36 episodes in Japan, 65 in the dub, and 52 according to the official Pokémon website (the "official" listing excludes [[EP250]]).
*[[Pokémon: Advanced|Season 6]]: 69 in Japan (going by when the opening changed), 40 in the dub, and 52 according to the official Pokémon website (at this point, the "official" listing matches the actual season changes)
*[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge|Season 7]]: 35 in Japan (going by when the opening changed) and 52 in the dub.
*[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle|Season 8]]: 30 episodes in Japan and 52 in the dub.
*[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Season 9]]: 58 episodes in Japan (ignoring the change in the opening) and 47 in the dub.
*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|Season 10]]: 78 episodes in Japan (counting the change from [[Together]] to Together2008) and 51 in the dub (excluding [[DP048]].
*[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|Season 11]]: 17 episodes in Japan (going by when the opening changed) and 52 in the dub.
*[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|Season 12]]: 63 episodes in Japan (going by when the opening changed from [[High Touch!|High Touch! 2009]] to [[The Greatest - Everyday!]]) and 52 in the dub (excluding [[DP120]]).
*[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors|Season 13]]: 34 episodes in both Japan and the dub.
*[[Pokémon: Black & White|Season 14]]: 84 episodes in Japan and 48 in the dub.
*[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies|Season 15]]: 24 episodes in Japan and 49 in the dub.
*[[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova|Season 16]]: 34 episodes in Japan (including Episode N and Decolora Adventure!) and 45 in the dub (including Unova and Beyond).
This results in an average of 44 episodes per season in Japan, 50 in the dub, and 46 according to "official" listings (all rounded to the nearest whole number).
While the most recent change in Japanese opening occurred in [[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]], it was more of a remix and should not be counted.
Of course, [[M17|the movie]] hasn't aired yet in the dub, either for real or in the canon, which places it after [[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]], which airs on the 20th. it will probably air later, since no announcement of it has been made. This would likely mean that the season won't start until October, which would go with the average of the season changing every year. Of course, even this doesn't confirm when the season changes.
However, something else of note is occurring. According to xfinity TV listings, [[Pokémon The Series: XY]] is going to start going through syndicated reruns on the 15th. Usually, Cartoon Network airs the newest episode on Saturdays, re-airs the episode before the new episode on Sundays, and goes through the previous season during the week. Starting to air the current season heavily implies that the current season is coming to an end. Of course, the only way to confirm any of this is for an official announcement to occur. Also, while unrelated, I'm going to keep an eye out on the listings, especially for October 16th. If Cartoon Network goes through the listings and ignores [[SS029]], [[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]] would air there in syndication.

Of course, all of this is speculation, and should not be taken as official, but remember, the season is coming to an end. I think I've taken up enough of your time. So, [[User:Bigpboy|Bigpboy]] ([[User talk:Bigpboy|talk]]) 16:53, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

::It looks to me like Season 17 (for the dub) has already come to an end on [[XY049]]. Has it not? Does this mean it's safe to assume that [[XY049]] marks the end of Season 17 and while [[XY050]] marks the beginning of Season 18? 'Cause I haven't seen any more new episodes of the dub yet. —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 12:51, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
:::XY049 was definitely the last episode of season 17. I'm not sure if the staff wanted to wait until we had a title for season 18 but I have gone and changed it. If they revert the edit then we will have to wait for a title. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 02:55, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
::::That's fine. We know there'll be a season 18, so splitting the section was fine.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:29, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::And since there's some other TV show on at the moment that has replaced Pokémon the Series: XY in which I estimate would have about... 12 episodes. I'd say Season 18 of Pokémon won't be coming until March 21st. So we probably won't get to hear about the title of Season 18 until either early March or late February. —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 06:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

== XY024 ==

Adding this hear in hopes of getting more views. XY024 finally aired about two months ago and there were no instances of retconning from what is said on the page. My concern is when the English dub aired. One way or another this page is going to look awkward. If we moved it to where it actually aired the numbering would be wrong, but it's placed under Season 17 for the English dub which is obvious not correct. Is the plan to just leave it where it is right now list wise? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 23:35, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
:''If'' they decide to dub it. They could just skip the episode. Don't worry about that until they announce an air date for it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
::And ''if'' they don't air the episode in western countries, then it will count as a skipped episode and will be the first episode that has been skipped in western countries for reasons they couldn't disclose. Which I do have a feeling will happen, 'cause TPCi is very secretive with information like that (unlike TPC in Japan), unfortunately. —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 10:28, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
:::We already have an English title for it, so it was dubbed already. Even if it hasn't air date yet, it's coming fast, especially if they air it the same way Japan did. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 20:25, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

== An Undersea Place to Call Home! ==

When would you place place Skrelp-episode in the right order? It's not XY024, because it's not broadcast anywhere in that place (we're not sure that Korean airing is true). It's XY050, because Japan broadcast it between ''Pathways to Performance Partnering!'' and ''When Light and Dark Collide!''. I think you should upadate that. {{unsigned|Yunkers}}

:There not going to. Dubbing this episode as XY050 would then put the story out of context with the rest of the episodes. It stayed XY024 because in the episode, training for Ash's battle against Grant in the Cyllage City Gym is mentioned. Why would Ash train for that battle when he's already done it? Ash battled against Grant in the following episode XY025, so moving XY024 to a different spot in the episode line-up would screw up the story line. And that's why it won't be changed in the episode order. It even mentions this in the Trivia section of XY024's page. [[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 18:08, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

**But it's still not XY024, official sources numbering it as XY050. Kanto-episode ''Princess vs. Princess'' is out-of-order too, but nobody changes its place, so I think that episode number should be changed. {{unsigned|Yunkers}}

:::Yes it is XY024 because everyone in the episode would be out of place if it was elsewhere. You can't have an episode where Ash is talking about his excitement to battle Grant in a gym battle after the gym battle already happened. The episode was not redone to fit the storyline after XY050 which is why is still's labeled as XY024. I don't see the problem with its placement since it fits the story where it is between XY023 and XY025. Your claim of "official sources" that its numbered as XY050 need to backed up. You need to provide proof from these "official sources". I doubt your sources are official since Bulbapedia only uses official sources for their information and will remove any piece of information that has not been confirmed. That said, Bulbapedia says it's XY024, because their sources say it's XY024. [[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 20:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
:::: I don't know what sources do you have, but in Japanese DVDs, Hulu and official Japenese site says that this episode isn't 24. I don't see any reliable sources that numbering that. (Sorry, if I'm spelling something wrong, I'm not native English) {{unsigned|Yunkers}}
::::: Please remember to sign your signature by putting four tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki> after your comment. You are right in that they are acting like this episode took place where it aired when you look at official sites. Pokémon.com even labels it as a Season 18 episode. However, Bulbapedia is keeping it where it is because they episode was not changed upon airing like [[BW037]] was. It still shows Ash training for Grant's gym battle and he still has Fletchling instead of Fletchinder. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 21:01, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
:::::: So I understand that you're trying being smarter that authors. I'm still thinking that you should change number of this episode, because all sources says so and that numberation is wrong. Nobody changes Kanto ''Princess vs. Princess'' so I don't understand why many peoples do so in case of this episode. But it's your choice. [[User:Yunkers|Yunkers]] ([[User talk:Yunkers|talk]]) 12:14, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

::::::: It would be silly to change the number of this episode to fit in the airing order instead of the storyline order. The storyline of this episode shows that Ash has not yet battled Grant (which happens in XY025) and that Fletchling has not evolved yet. So putting this episode later in the line-up would be out of place. Because you can't have one episode showing that Fletchling evolved but then show the episode where Fletchling is still Fletchling. That would be the most obvious reason why the episode cannot be placed later in the line-up. what's done is done. Let it be already. [[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 18:08, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

:::::::: So change ''Princess vs. Princess'' number to "more logical". I think that oficial order is more important that storyline order and order you use makes confusion. Many times I see when somebody writes "Why this episode is omitted?" and this hard to explain that this episode it's not part of Season 17. That's why I think this should be listed by airing not by storyline. They used openings from actual season, so it's official XY050 (51 ENG). [[User:Yunkers|Yunkers]] ([[User talk:Yunkers|talk]]) 20:41, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

:::::::::What's done is done. Let it go. If Bulbapedia wanted to put XY024 in Season 18, they would have. Personally, I like where it is and think it should stay as it is. Who cares what other sites are doing. Bulbapedia are not those other sites. Bulbapedia staff only follows specific official sources and they go by what it says on those sites. So let it go already. The opening credits intro has nothing to do with the episode's story. The story places this episode between XY023 & XY025. We have told you this several times over and you still claim that it doesn't belong where it is. Let it go already. [[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 20:49, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

:::::::::: So, you're trying to be smarter than authors. Do what you want. If you want to have unofficial and wrong information without having any logical reason, you can. If official sites are less important than bulbapedia, I have no more to add. [[User:Yunkers|Yunkers]] ([[User talk:Yunkers|talk]]) 22:27, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

::::::::::: You keep stating that you're using official sources but not once have you provided proof or your claims. And its in Bulbapedia's policy to only allow officially released information. In other words, Bulbapedia won't allow it to stay on their site if its not from official sources. What you claim is official sources may not be official. You can't trust everything you read on the internet. If someone told you that a normal man/woman walked off a cliff and kept walking without any assistance of technology like parachutes, paragliders or hanggliders, are you going to believe it? Same thing here. Just because you saw it online doesn't make it real. So I repeat, provide proof of your so-called official sources. [[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 22:31, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

:::::::::::: In Japan they announced this episode every times as XY024 after the ship accident. --[[User:Altruis|Altruis]] [[User talk:Altruis|''でんき'']] 22:38, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

::::::::::::: Ugh, Japanese official anime site is not official? Strange. May I ask you what "officjal" sources Bulbapedia used? [[User:Yunkers|Yunkers]] ([[User talk:Yunkers|talk]]) 09:28, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

:::::::::::::: Just because a site is Japanese & Anime doesn't make it official. As for official sources Bulbapedia uses, I plum forgot to ask... like it matters. LIke Altruis said, I have only ever seen it referred to as XY024. Never once have I seen it labeled as anything else. And judging form this chain of messages, you're the ONLY person who seems to think otherwise. Give it a rest already. You're not going to win. [[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 09:33, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

''(Outdent)'' He's referring to the show's official Japanese website, which is definitely official. As for the site, it does show the episode as airing where it did, but I see no indicating of numbering. Then again, Japanese is not my forte. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 09:56, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

:How can you be certain he's referring to the official japanese site? He never once provided a link to the source of his information. That said, Bulbapedia also shows that it aired when it did and that's no different than the site you said, Bulbapedia just changed the listing order for their site by episode number vs airing order. [[User:DarienLeonhart|DarienLeonhart]] ([[User talk:DarienLeonhart|talk]]) 15:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
::Because he has repeatedly mentioned it in almost every post he makes, and you know that. Stop being rude. You can make your point without it. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 03:23, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

::::I only see one truly official source and that is the Japanese DVDs, unless they were bootlegged. Hulu is not an official source for Pokémon information and this "official japanese site" could be anything. When I suggested he provided proof of his official sources, a link to said source as proof and I have never once seen a link anywhere. I am not being rude, I am being truthful. It might just turn out that this "official japanese site" might not be as official as Yunkers claims it is. Call it rude if you want, I call it covering all the bases.

:::::: Just because you can provide the link doesn't mean that is the site Yunkers is using. Two different people don't always do things or think things the same way.

:::::::: That's where you're wrong. Someone can say it's the official site because either they want it to be the official site or because they are being misled by those who run the site. Either one of those situations could be how Yunkers is doing it. I for one will never believe the word of someone on a forum unless they provide proof from an official source.

::::::::: Official site is official site. I mention this one. But even it's not the same it change anything. As someone say - you still don't write your source. If you do that, this discussion will be shorter (but of course you can't - there are none). And I started to think that you don't read my posts... I repeat - give any source, because now it's 3:0.

And anything being said without proof can easily be made up, falsified. And until such proof is provided, I will not believe anything you say. I have ready every one of your posts. I am not stupid nor am I ignorant and I would appreciate if you wouldn't insult me in such a manner. Give proof of claims by providing a link to your source and if your source is the official site, then this will be over.

== Recurring Dub Edits ==

Is it really necessary to put "The title card segment focuses on Ash in the dub instead of {featured character}" on every single episode that features another character in the Japanese version? Ash always has, and always will have the focus on him in the Dub. This could just be trivia on the [[XY series]] page couldn't it? --[[User:Rikeo|'''リック''']][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|'''EO''']] [[User talk:Rikeo|(メッセージ)]] 15:46, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Poké Puff

2016-01-18T15:30:24Z

Aggron989: /* In the anime */

{{User:Aggron989/Userpage}}

'''Poké Puffs''' (Japanese: '''ポフレ''' ''Pofflé'') are small cake-like confections introduced in [[Generation VI]].

==In the games==
Poké Puffs are used in [[Pokémon-Amie]] in order to raise the {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|affection}} of the {{player}}'s Pokémon. Poké Puffs come in five flavors: Sweet, Mint, Citrus, Mocha, and Spice. These flavors are purely aesthetic and have no impact on the affection gained by the Pokémon. Poké Puffs can be obtained by playing {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|minigames}} and have more significant impacts on the Pokémon's level of affection depending on their level.

Poké Puffs also come in a rarer fifth variant, Supreme, which has special flavors. These come in two varieties, obtained in different ways. The seasonal varieties are obtained after scoring 5 stars on an Unlimited mini-game. The remaining two are left by {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|visitors}} to the player's Pokémon-Amie space after special events.

The player may hold a maximum of 100 Poké Puffs. If the player already has 100 Poké Puffs, gaining any additional Poké Puffs will force the player to lose the first Poké Puffs in the inventory.

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Puffs anime 2.png|frame|right|250px|Poké Puffs in the anime]]
Poké Puffs were first introduced in the anime in ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''. Much like {{an|May}} with [[Pokéblock]]s and {{an|Dawn}} with [[Poffin]]s, {{an|Serena}} likes to make Poké Puffs for her friends and Pokémon. Depending on how they are made, Poké Puffs can be enjoyed by people or Pokémon, but are almost always prepared for the latter. Each Poké Puff is made with a specific Pokémon in mind to eat it, so that the baker can create a delicacy that is certain to be loved by a certain type of Pokémon.

Similarly to the way Pokéblocks and Poffins are made, Poké Puffs require the use of [[berries]] to be made, because certain berries will make good Poké Puffs for certain Pokémon. For example, a [[Tamato Berry]]-topped Poké Puff was enjoyed greatly by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and an [[Oran Berry]] Poké Puff was enjoyed by [[Clemont's Dedenne]].

In the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]], the theme performance was to create Poké Puffs that would be eaten by [[Santo]]'s {{p|Mime Jr.}}, [[Gena]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and [[Delilah]]'s {{p|Furfrou}}. Based on their Pokémon's reactions, the judges would decide which Performer would proceed to the next round.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Puff Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Puff in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|X & Y}}, {{adv|Y}} caught an {{p|Eevee}} and sought to befriend it quickly using several features of [[Pokémon-Amie]] to raise its affection, including Poké Puffs. Her efforts paid off as Eevee, which she nicknamed Vuivui, evolved into {{p|Sylveon}} during Y's battle with two {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s.

AmourShipping

2016-01-03T01:35:00Z

Aggron989: /* Serena's hints */ Present tense, and making this shorter.

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's backpack to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{an|Penelope}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring Meowth.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about Aria's Fennekin. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Serena high fived with Ash.

*''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
:*When Ash and friends are using one of Clemont's machines to randomly decide the two who going in the submarine together, Serena unhesitatingly chooses the same arrow as Ash, before either of the siblings can.
:*When Ash attempts to stop Team Rocket from escaping, Serena tries to stop him because of the danger involved.

*''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''
:*When Ash is rock climbing in [[Cyllage Gym]], the camera focuses on a worried Serena.
:*Before the battle between Ash and [[Grant]] starts, Serena is very worried. She clasps her hands together which catches the notice of Bonnie and Clemont. She then begins to blush and, at one point, tears up when thinking about how hard Ash has trained.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*[[Miette]] asks Ash teasingly if he has a future bride in mind (in reference to Bonnie asking women to have her brother Clemont) to see how Serena would react. Serena is shown to be paying close attention from the corner of her eye with a frown, and then looks away and pretends indifference.
:*When Ash is holding on the tube to stop the air flow from reaching the [[mecha]] so it could run, the camera goes to a worried Serena, who yells out his name in concern.
:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will. Serena blushes bright red, but walks away smiling. It is interesting to note that Serena is the only girl to not deny her feelings for Ash when teased about it.

*''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash bangs his head against the tree after catching Pikachu, the camera focuses on Serena, who shouts his name in concern while clasping her hands together.

*''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]''
:*When Ash tries to go down the transporter after Pikachu, Serena tries to stop him from doing anything dangerous while Clemont and Bonnie do nothing.

*''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''
:*When Ash is battling [[Korrina]], only Serena is cheering him on, while Clemont and Bonnie are complimenting how strong Lucario is.

*''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''
:*While everyone's picture is being taken, Serena slides closer to Ash leaving an obvious gap separating them from the others and unlike everybody else, Serena isn't looking into the camera but is looking at Ash when the picture is being taken.
:*After the group photo, Serena stands there admiring her picture with Ash and sighs happily until he calls her to hurry and she turns around with a blush.
:*When the group is entering the cave, Serena grabs on to Ash.

*''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''
:*As Mega Lucario is about to uncontrollably use {{m|Power-Up Punch}} on Ash, who is protecting Pikachu, Serena yells out in concern.

*''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''
:*As Ash follows Bonnie to attempt to save the berries that were stolen by a wild {{p|Ursaring}}, Serena calls after him in a worried tone.
:*Serena is the first person to ask if Ash is all right after saving {{AP|Hawlucha}}.
:*After the mist covering the battle clears up, Serena is the first one to be seen running towards Ash, worried if he is hurt.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*Throughout the episode, Serena is immensely worried about Ash, more so than Clemont and Bonnie. When they are in front of the mirror that Ash went through, Serena clasps her hands together and wishes for Ash to return.
:*When the mirrors drift apart, Ash is carried to the other side away from the group. Mirror Serena yells at Serena that if she wants to travel with Ash, her will for him has to be strong. Serena's eyes widen and then she nods her head in determination realizing that if she wants Ash back, she has to try her hardest.
:*Serena saves Ash by grabbing his hand and helping him make it back to their dimension. Even with both Clemont and Bonnie reaching for Ash, it is Serena who manages to reach him.
:*After Ash is safely back in their dimension, Mirror Serena tells Serena to take good care of Ash; Serena smiles and nods her head in understanding.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena asks Ash if they will always be traveling together from now on, to which a smiling Ash replies with that she should not even have asked such an obvious question.

:*After Pikachu finds Ash, Serena is the first one heard saying his name in concern.

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*Serena is immediately worried and asks Ash if he is okay as he lies on the ground after saving her.
:*After Ash injures his foot, Serena nurses it with a wet cloth and her hand seems to linger while she is doing so, and is also apologetic to him, blaming herself that she injured his foot.
:*When Serena exclaims how amazing Ash is after hearing him talk about his dream, he looks at her in surprise. She quickly becomes embarrassed and tends to his foot again to change the subject.

:*As Ash makes his way back across after saving Bonnie from the other side, Serena, who says in concern that he can do it, conveys that she does not want Ash to lose his footing and hurt himself.

*''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''
:*During the entire episode, each time Serena battles, she is usually ordering Fennekin to support Pikachu. This is an interesting hint since she could have chosen to assist Clemont instead or battle more independently like Clemont and Ash did.
:*When Serena recalls how Ash practiced the rhythm battling style the night before, she is the only one who finds it amusing as she giggles and calls Ash clumsy.

*''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash and his Pokémon are practicing their dancing moves, Bonnie and Clemont start laughing at Ash's clumsiness and Serena tells them to stop.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*In the beginning of the episode, after Serena says she doesn't know what she is going to do, Ash asks her to travel with them, saying that it was because of her that he won the [[Bug Badge]] and that it would be nice if she stayed with them. This is the first time that Ash has asked a female [[Ash's friends|companion]] to travel with him. It can also be noted that when Ash asked Serena to travel with him, he appears to be nervous, which is shown in his voice and when he scratches his cheek; cheek scratching is a classic anime symbol for nervousness.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Serena hurts her knee. Ash arrives, takes out a handkerchief upon seeing her injury, and bandages it up for her. Then, he holds out his hand and when she hesitates to take it, he grabs her hand and pulls her up, quickly taking her by surprise and making her fall into his arms in a hug. It is noted that during the hug, it is Serena who pulls away and not him. Afterwards, he holds her hand and helps her find her way back to the camp.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*When Serena is in her Fennekin outfit, Ash is seen to be blankly staring at her, possibly out of attraction. His is the only face out of everyone present (an audience including Bonnie, Clemont, Dedenne, Froakie, Fletchling and Pikachu) that has a different expression than the others. It is also worth noting that the camera focuses on just Ash's face at first, showing everyone else a few seconds later.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*When Serena begins to fall down a cliff, Ash runs after her and grabs her hand to try to stop her from falling, but ends up falling down with her in the process.
:*When Serena sees that Ash has twisted his ankle, he reassures her that he's okay.
:*When Serena is feeding her Fennekin, the camera focuses on Ash, who is staring at her and smiling.

:*When a truck is driving recklessly and almost hits them, Ash pushes Serena away from the road so she does not get hit. This is significant because both Clemont and Bonnie are closer to the road at the time and are therefore in even more danger of being hit by the truck.

*''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''
:*When the group is separated, Ash is calling out for Serena only, despite others like Bonnie and {{AP|Goomy}} being lost as well.

*''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''

===Other hints===
[[File:Entertainment Kiss.png|thumb|200px|Valentine's Day poster with Ash and Serena.]]
[[File:Ash and Serena Animedia.png|thumb|200px|The poster from Animedia Magazine.]]
*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash. There is also another character connection table with an arrow from Serena to Ash that says "very interested in".
***The aforementioned magazine also includes a poster with Ash and Serena (Clemont and Bonnie are clearly missing) surrounded by Pokémon and hearts. Serena is holding a heart while looking up at Ash.
*There is another official poster from Animedia Magazine of only Serena and Ash sitting next to each other and holding drinks.
*On the official Pokémon movie website for Japan, there is a quiz where one question asks what the dialogue from Serena was at the end of ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' and one of the options is Serena saying, "My dream is, to become Satoshi’s bride… AH! I am embarrassed!"
*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"
**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It should be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.
*When Ash and his traveling companions split up to go look for something, he tends to partner up with Serena.
*Serena looks to Ash for guidance and advice on occasion, and she usually takes his recommendations seriously.
*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.
*So far in the series, three recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, and [[Shauna]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.
**In the ending credits, when Ash and the others see a shooting star, Serena is making a wish and Ash is the only one who is looking at her while Clemont and Bonnie start sleeping.

* First meeting
:''"Or, with a contribution of just {{pdollar}}5,000,000, you could become a member of Team Flare. It's a no-brainer!"''

*Before battle
:''"So lame! That's just embarrassing from an admin! Still, no worries. We're on it! This pair of scientists will clean up after you."''
:''"One kid or two, it doesn't make a lot of difference. When we're the ones fighting together, our odds of victory increase exponentially!"''

* Being defeated
:''"No way! Wow, we are lame."''

* After being defeated
:''"So lame! What a shame! We got beat!"''

*Before battle
:''"Huh?"''
:''"Huh?"''
:''"So who is {{tt|he|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|she|If the player is a girl}}?"''
:''"Yup. That sounds good to me. Then I'll get in the first blow!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Ah ha ha ha! You beat us good. Wow, we are sooo lame."''

* After being defeated
:''"What's this?! Who would have thought a child like you could beat us both? You and your Pokémon were utterly in sync in that battle, and I know why. You're here for answers, aren't you? I suppose we're at your mercy. I will tell you what I know, at least."''
:''"In reality, those stones that line {{rt|10|Kalos}} are the graves of Pokémon. When the [[ultimate weapon]] was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon. Their lives were the price of peace then. And if we want to make our own wishes come true today, we in Team Flare also have to sacrifice something precious."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Celosia anime.png|thumb|200px|Celosia in the anime]]
Celosia debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} in [[XY093]]. She was first seen leading a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s to recapture the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde Core}} that had [[SS035|escaped]] from [[Lysandre Labs]]. She managed to find the {{p|Zygarde}} Core, but thanks to {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sawyer]]'s interference, she was unable to retrieve it. When she later informed [[Xerosic]] of what had happened, she was told that [[Bryony]] had been tasked with capturing the Core as well. During the following night, Celosia led yet another group of Grunts in an attempt to capture the Core, but with Ash and Sawyer covering {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}'s retreat, she was once again unsuccessful.

She reappeared in [[XY101]], teaming up with Bryony to retrieve [[Puni-chan]] from Terminus Cave. After a prolonged struggle, during which Team Rocket interfered as well, Ash-Greninja and Puni-chan's 10% Forme forced Team Flare to retreat.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Adventures.png|thumb|right|300px|Celosia (''top left'') in Pokémon Adventures]]
Celosia makes her first appearance in the {{chap|X & Y}} alongside her fellow Team Flare members. She, Bryony, and Xerosic witness the legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} rampage through [[Vaniville Town]] during a battle with each other. They note that they need the Pokémon to power their ultimate weapon, but currently have no means as to capture them.

At [[Santalune City]], Celosia attacks {{adv|X}} and his friends. After [[Shauna]] runs away from her friends after an argument, she is lured into an illusion set up by Celosia. The illusion consists of a {{p|Furfrou}} trimmer demonstrating the various trims of Furfrou. The trimmer gives Shauna a sword so that she can practice her dream of becoming a Furfrou dream as well. The sword turns out to be a {{p|Honedge}}, which possesses Shauna and puts her under Celosia's control. Celosia has Shauna sneak into the Santalune Gym, where her friends are staying for the night with Gym Leader [[Viola]]. Shauna steals [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s {{DL|Mega Stone|Kangaskhanite}}, but she is discovered by {{adv|Y}}, who tries to stop her. Shauna attempts to kill Y with the Honedge, but Viola takes the blow and is knocked unconscious. Celosia takes the Mega Stone and runs off, leaving Shauna to wildly attack her friends only to fall unconscious from the strain of the possession. X chases after Celosia, but is unable to keep up with her. He is assisted by [[Korrina]], who uses her {{me|Lucario}} to help battle. Together, they battle Celosia's Pokémon in an attempt to retrieve the Kangaskhanite. Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}} manages to keep [[Korrina's Lucario]] busy enough so that Celosia can focus protecting the Kangaskhanite, but Viola reveals herself to still be conscious and uses her {{p|Surskit}} to trap Celosia with {{m|Sticky Web}}. With Celosia stuck, Li'l Kanga retrieves the Kangaskhanite, allowing her to Mega Evolve and help Lucario defeat Aegislash. Realizing that with two Mega-Evolved Pokémon she has no chance of winning, Celosia is forced to escape.

Celosia is later seen at {{rt|9|Kalos}}, talking to her fellow Team Flare member, [[Malva]], who had borrowed her Aegislash to manipulate a group of {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s to attack X and his friends. Celosia reveals that after the incident at Santalune City, she had trained her Aegislash to overcome its weaknesses and gain the ability to control several people at once. As they talk, Y overhears their conversation from afar. Celosia notices her presence and attempts to attack with her Honedge, but Y's {{p|Froakie|Kerokero}} evolves into a {{p|Frogadier}} to get her out of the way. Although she managed to slice off a large chunk of Y's hair, Celosia fails to notice Y and assumes she made a mistake. Malva and Celosia then continue their conversation and plan to begin the operation to move Xerneas soon. Celosia heads back to Team Flare's Secret HQ, where she finds the kidnapped Vaniville residents freed from their jail cells and attempting to escape. Although surprised at this, she easily apprehends them with her Aegislash's mind controlling abilities.

She and [[Emma|Essentia]] take the captured residents to Route 9, where {{p|Xerneas}} is and has them begin loading it onto a vehicle so it can be driven to their base. She notices a piece of Y's ponytail on her Honedge, leading her to realize that she wasn't wrong about being eavesdropped on. {{kal|Grace}} recognizes the hair and that it belongs to her daughter, Y, causing her to try and take the hair away. Celosia retaliates by knocking Grace onto the ground, causing Y to jump in and rashly attempt to rescue her mother. Y fails after her damaged Sky Suit causes her to fall to the ground, leaving her an easy target for Essentia and her {{p|Trevenant}}, which uses its vine manipulation ability to bind Y. X steps in to try and rescue Y, but he fails due to not knowing that only one of his Pokémon can Mega Evolve at a time. He and the rest of his friends are then captured by Essentia as well. Celosia attempts to finish the group off herself, only for [[Gurkinn]], Korrina, and [[Diantha]] to arrive in time to rescue everyone. While Essentia deals with Gurkinn and his Gengar and Malva steps in to attack Diantha, Celosia faces Korrina and her Mega Lucario by herself. Korrina expresses her desire to prevent Team Flare from taking over Kalos and reveals she had trained since their last battle. Celosia mocks Korrina by stating that Team Flare has already taken over Kalos and only members of their group will be chosen to live after their plans are realized. Korrina eventually manages to knock out Celosia, though her Lucario faints in the process. As she stands victorious, Celosia's Honedge sneaks behind Korrina and attacks her. Korrina is defeated, allowing Celosia to take her Key Stone and successfully move Xerneas back to Team Flare's Secret HQ. Celosia later gives the Key Stone to Malva, who fits it into a ring for Lysandre to use.

Later, X decides to get back at Team Flare for what they did to Korrina and his friends by infiltrating Team Flare's Secret HQ. As they watch X over the monitors, Bryony notes that the continued usage of Aegislash has caused Celosia to begin losing herself. Bryony knocks Celosia unconscious with her {{p|Bisharp}} to prevent her from going out of control.

AmourShipping

2015-12-16T11:31:39Z

Aggron989: Undo revision 2365232 by Lightningsonic619 (talk) That belongs in the trivia or other hints section.

{{ship}}
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the anime, much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to these and most other shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming based on hints and inconclusive evidence. Its popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood. Since then, it has become one of Serena's notable characteristics.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
{{incomplete|2=Hints in XY098}}
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*When Serena returns Ash's backpack to him (which Ash had left behind at the Gym), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and Alexa that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Ash bandages Serena's knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{an|Penelope}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring Meowth.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about Aria's Fennekin. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

*''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''
:*After seeing the golden {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Serena high fived with Ash.

*''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
:*When Ash and friends are using one of Clemont's machines to randomly decide the two who going in the submarine together, Serena unhesitatingly chooses the same arrow as Ash, before either of the siblings can.
:*When Ash attempts to stop Team Rocket from escaping, Serena tries to stop him because of the danger involved.

*''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''
:*When Ash is rock climbing in [[Cyllage Gym]], the camera focuses on a worried Serena.
:*Before the battle between Ash and [[Grant]] starts, Serena is very worried. She clasps her hands together which catches the notice of Bonnie and Clemont. She then begins to blush and, at one point, tears up when thinking about how hard Ash has trained.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*[[Miette]] asks Ash teasingly if he has a future bride in mind (in reference to Bonnie asking women to have her brother Clemont) to see how Serena would react. Serena is shown to be paying close attention from the corner of her eye with a frown, and then looks away and pretends indifference.
:*When Ash is holding on the tube to stop the air flow from reaching the [[mecha]] so it could run, the camera goes to a worried Serena, who yells out his name in concern.
:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will. Serena blushes bright red, but walks away smiling. It is interesting to note that Serena is the only girl to not deny her feelings for Ash when teased about it.

*''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash bangs his head against the tree after catching Pikachu, the camera focuses on Serena, who shouts his name in concern while clasping her hands together.

*''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]''
:*When Ash tries to go down the transporter after Pikachu, Serena tries to stop him from doing anything dangerous while Clemont and Bonnie do nothing.

*''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''
:*When Ash is battling [[Korrina]], only Serena is cheering him on, while Clemont and Bonnie are complimenting how strong Lucario is.

*''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''
:*While everyone's picture is being taken, Serena slides closer to Ash leaving an obvious gap separating them from the others and unlike everybody else, Serena isn't looking into the camera but is looking at Ash when the picture is being taken.
:*After the group photo, Serena stands there admiring her picture with Ash and sighs happily until he calls her to hurry and she turns around with a blush.
:*When the group is entering the cave, Serena grabs on to Ash.

*''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''
:*As Mega Lucario is about to uncontrollably use {{m|Power-Up Punch}} on Ash, who is protecting Pikachu, Serena yells out in concern.

*''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''
:*As Ash follows Bonnie to attempt to save the berries that were stolen by a wild {{p|Ursaring}}, Serena calls after him in a worried tone.
:*Serena is the first person to ask if Ash is all right after saving {{AP|Hawlucha}}.
:*After the mist covering the battle clears up, Serena is the first one to be seen running towards Ash, worried if he is hurt.

*''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''
:*Throughout the episode, Serena is immensely worried about Ash, more so than Clemont and Bonnie. When they are in front of the mirror that Ash went through, Serena clasps her hands together and wishes for Ash to return.
:*When the mirrors drift apart, Ash is carried to the other side away from the group. Mirror Serena yells at Serena that if she wants to travel with Ash, her will for him has to be strong. Serena's eyes widen and then she nods her head in determination realizing that if she wants Ash back, she has to try her hardest.
:*Serena saves Ash by grabbing his hand and helping him make it back to their dimension. Even with both Clemont and Bonnie reaching for Ash, it is Serena who manages to reach him.
:*After Ash is safely back in their dimension, Mirror Serena tells Serena to take good care of Ash; Serena smiles and nods her head in understanding.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena asks Ash if they will always be traveling together from now on, to which a smiling Ash replies with that she should not even have asked such an obvious question.

*''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]''
:*When Clemont hears a story about a Pokémon that controls trees, captures humans who hurts the forest, and eats them, Serena immediately worries about the possibility that Ash might be eaten.
:*After Pikachu finds Ash, Serena is the first one heard saying his name in concern.

*''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''
:*Serena is immediately worried and asks Ash if he is okay as he lies on the ground after saving her.
:*After Ash injures his foot, Serena nurses it with a wet cloth and her hand seems to linger while she is doing so, and is also apologetic to him, blaming herself that she injured his foot.
:*When Serena exclaims how amazing Ash is after hearing him talk about his dream, he looks at her in surprise. She quickly becomes embarrassed and tends to his foot again to change the subject.
:*Serena takes Ash's advice when he said, "Nothing we ever do is the waste of time," to come up with the idea for a new PokéVision video.
:*Serena is persuaded by Ash that she will find her dream with her Pokémon.

*''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''
:*Serena asks about Ash's prior foot injury with a concerned look on her face.
:*As Ash makes his way back across after saving Bonnie from the other side, Serena, who says in concern that he can do it, conveys that she does not want Ash to lose his footing and hurt himself.

*''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''
:*During the entire episode, each time Serena battles, she is usually ordering Fennekin to support Pikachu. This is an interesting hint since she could have chosen to assist Clemont instead or battle more independently like Clemont and Ash did.
:*When Serena recalls how Ash practiced the rhythm battling style the night before, she is the only one who finds it amusing as she giggles and calls Ash clumsy.

*''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]''
:*When Ash and his Pokémon are practicing their dancing moves, Bonnie and Clemont start laughing at Ash's clumsiness and Serena tells them to stop.

:*In the beginning of the episode, after Serena says she doesn't know what she is going to do, Ash asks her to travel with them, saying that it was because of her that he won the [[Bug Badge]] and that it would be nice if she stayed with them. This is the first time that Ash has asked a female [[Ash's friends|companion]] to travel with him. It can also be noted that when Ash asked Serena to travel with him, he appears to be nervous, which is shown in his voice and when he scratches his cheek; cheek scratching is a classic anime symbol for nervousness.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Serena hurts her knee. Ash arrives, takes out a handkerchief upon seeing her injury, and bandages it up for her. Then, he holds out his hand and when she hesitates to take it, he grabs her hand and pulls her up, quickly taking her by surprise and making her fall into his arms in a hug. It is noted that during the hug, it is Serena who pulls away and not him. Afterwards, he holds her hand and helps her find her way back to the camp.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*When Serena is in her Fennekin outfit, Ash is seen to be blankly staring at her, possibly out of attraction. His is the only face out of everyone present (an audience including Bonnie, Clemont, Dedenne, Froakie, Fletchling and Pikachu) that has a different expression than the others. It is also worth noting that the camera focuses on just Ash's face at first, showing everyone else a few seconds later.

:*When a truck is driving recklessly and almost hits them, Ash pushes Serena away from the road so she does not get hit. This is significant because both Clemont and Bonnie are closer to the road at the time and are therefore in even more danger of being hit by the truck.

*''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''
:*When the group is separated, Ash is calling out for Serena only, despite others like Bonnie and {{AP|Goomy}} being lost as well.

*''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]''
:*Thanks to a suggestion from Serena, Ash comes up with what to get for his Pokémon as a gift.

===Other hints===
[[File:Entertainment Kiss.png|thumb|200px|Valentine's Day poster with Ash and Serena.]]
[[File:Ash and Serena Animedia.png|thumb|200px|The poster from Animedia Magazine.]]
*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash. There is also another character connection table with an arrow from Serena to Ash that says "very interested in".
***The aforementioned magazine also includes a poster with Ash and Serena (Clemont and Bonnie are clearly missing) surrounded by Pokémon and hearts. Serena is holding a heart while looking up at Ash.
*There is another official poster from Animedia Magazine of only Serena and Ash sitting next to each other and holding drinks.
*On the official Pokémon movie website for Japan, there is a quiz where one question asks what the dialogue from Serena was at the end of ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' and one of the options is Serena saying, "My dream is, to become Satoshi’s bride… AH! I am embarrassed!"
*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
**Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"
**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It should be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.
*When Ash and his traveling companions split up to go look for something, he tends to partner up with Serena.
*Serena looks to Ash for guidance and advice on occasion, and she usually takes his recommendations seriously.
*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.
*So far in the series, three recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, and [[Shauna]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
*''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
**In the trailer, Serena becomes extremely worried about Ash and calls his name in fear when he becomes taken over by the [[Prison Bottle]] he caught.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary.
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.
**In the ending credits, when Ash and the others see a shooting star, Serena is making a wish and Ash is the only one who is looking at her while Clemont and Bonnie start sleeping.

==Is this trivia worthy?==

Is it worth noting that Froakie is Ash's first Pokémon that was originally own by another trainer before being released that is not a Fire-type? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 13:40, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

==Only Starter==
Is it notable that this is Ash's only Kalos starter? The series is really new, so he might get another one. It's unlikely for two main characters to have the same Pokémon, but May and Ash both have Bulbasaur. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 21:02, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I've watched it lol. Ash commanded him to use it but he never actually used the whole attack. Not the way Frogadier or Pikachu use it at least. He started to learn in it this episode, he hasn't learned it fully yet.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 11:23, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

== froakie IS male ==

In the episode where ash and friends visit a kindagarten, sylveon uses attract on froakie. Later, meowth falls in love with sylveon. Therefore sylveon is female, meaning froakie must be male. {{unsigned|Lu-igi board}}
:That's no plausible evidence. We're not (and will never be) 100% sure on that particular Sylveon's gender, ''even if'' Meowth fell in love with it. We don't add genders on assumption. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 11:17, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

::::Meowth still fell in love with the Sylveon, though, Attract or not. That's gotta mean Sylveon's female, and since the obviously female Sylveon's Attract worked on Froakie, there you go. Or is there a reason it's not that simple? Because I have a feeling that if it was that simple, we wouldn't be discussing this. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno.

:::::Meowth fell in love with a male Purrloin back in BW044, so we can't assume that Sylveon is female. Like the aforementioned Purrloin, it could be male for all we know. [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here! The one and only...Uncle Edit!]] ([[User talk:Uncle Edit|talk]]) 14:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

:::::::::Actually in some cases we can. DuArt has confirmed numerous times that they have Pokémon voices universal. So in Snivy's case, Michele Knotz ''always'' is the voice of female Snivy, and so on. However, Froakie is an unconfirmed case, so the same can't apply here until there's more confirmation.

== Frogadier's moves ==

With the new release of [[XY052]], Frogadier has learned Aerial Ace, and so far that was only move shown (possibly Cut as well, but I'm not sure about that one), so I changed it to only Aerial Ace being the recent move, however a user, JasonL changed it to Water Pulse, Bubble and Cut also being recent, since a Pokémon can only know four moves, I only put down Aerial Ace as recent since we cannot speculate on the other 3 moves kept until we see them in a episode (I wasn't sure what he meant by "Just think of the moves as so far" in his/her edit summary). Can anyone else confirm if I'm right or wrong since I don't want to start an edit war S 16:38, 12 December 2014 (UTC) - StephenWalker97

: Before Evolution, Froakie only used Water Pulse, Cut and Double Team so far, but didn't use Bubble. After it evolved it used Cut and that other move I'm not sure if its Aerial Ace or something else.--JasonL 23:35, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

:: Not related to JasonL's post (and put :, ::, ::: when you add a new edit/discussion of text), but to those who keep adding Water Pulse and Double Team as recent, don't, even if its confirmed by other sources e.g. CoroCoro in a episode preview, you don't add it as recent until the episode in which Frogadier uses the new move airs. [[User:StephenWalker97|StephenWalker97]] ([[User talk:StephenWalker97|talk]]) 17:26, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
:::I'm not involved, but...just wondering. If it's already known in the Japanese dub that, let's say, in [[XY055]] Frogadier uses Water Pulse (I'm not saying it does, I'm just saying let's assume it), why are we not putting that in now? Is it just something to do with waiting for the English dub to air before updating the article? The reason I ask is because articles on the various Pokémon are already updated based on happenings in episodes not aired in English; see [[Ash's Goomy]] for example. (And kind of a spoiler now.) So if we're trying to prevent spoilers, then Japanese airings should not update in here at all. Otherw3ise it's a double standard.

:::If I have the reasoning wrong, please enlighten me. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

One of our thesis is right Frogadier did use Water Pulse, Double Team, Cut and Aerial Ace.--JasonL 15:15, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

== Frogadier's New Move ==

Did Frogadier learned Aerial Ace? It's hard to tell because I saw one of its arms glow blue and it did some kicks. And I know it used Cut.--JasonL 23:35, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

== Proof for Frogadier's English VA ==

== Greninja ==

Hey guys, it's looking like Frogadier is gonna be evolving into Greninja sometime soon: [http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/surprise-2/cabinet/16cl/16cl-0010.jpg link][[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 03:22, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

:You might be right althought Frogadier's evolution into Greninja might be little bit late
:Thanks to Data broadcast we know he won't evolve not before 93 episode, after that sure he might.
:Cool pic where you get it {{unsigned|Makarov5}}

::Well, that would be a spoiler if I've ever seen one. We had this with Fletchinder's evolution, as well, I think. At least, I think it was Fletchinder; it evolved just before the movie. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:06, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

== Conflicting Perspective in Regards to Evolution ==

I remember that it was said that changes to articles of Pokemon evolving were "protected" and not changed to prevent speculation from getting rampant. But I don't see how its considered speculation when official sources straight out say that a main character's Pokemon is going to evolve. Like here, Frogadier is evolving into Greninja, there's no speculation here, it's been 110% confirmed by official sources. But then I thought about something else, is the actual reason why these type of articles remain the same until the evolution occurs because the evolution hasn't actually happened yet? I feel as if that makes more sense than because it doesn't change because it's cracking down on speculation that articles remain they way they are until the actual episode airs. I just realized now, how weird it is, to say that an article is protected because of speculation crackdown rather than maintaining the current (as of now) status of said Pokemon. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 17:30, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
:When you consider that the evolution is at an unspecified future time and nothing is known about the situation or the changes in personality, it would all be speculation. The only information (using Frogadier/Greninja as an example) that we know for a fact right now is that the evolution will occur in the future and that even further in the future it can take on a new form. So with that limited information, it is pretty pointless to post that an evolution will occur in the future, as it is going to be a very small amount of information that is very likely to provoke speculation (which it seems to have in the past). Of course I'm a newer member here, and this is just my view of it from glancing around, but it makes sense to call it speculation to me.[[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 17:57, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
::Information regarding things like evolution is not added to Bulbapedia's anime-related articles until it actually happens. I don't really have an answer for the speculation part though.

:::I believe ChE clarinetist pretty much hit the nail on the head. When protecting articles, Administrators are given a drop down menu with a few general pre-written reasons that you can click on when protecting because it's easier/quicker when protecting numerous articles, "speculation crackdown" is one of them. So, while we do know that the evolution is confirmed, there's a lot about it that we don't know either.

== Egg ==

Since the latest episode showed Frogadier's Egg, shouldn't this be added into the infobox by someone who can still edit the page? Obviously with an "unknown amount of episodes" duration. '''''[[Shadow Sneak (move)|Sneaking]] from page to page... It's the page-editing purple ghost... [[User:Gengarzilla|Gengar]][[User talk:Gengarzilla|zilla!]]''''' 18:42, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

I personally think Greninja's "Ash-Greninja" form should have its own section.

Can there be one?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 20:39, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
:Did the episode explain what exactly it is or how it affects Greninja? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 21:36, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
::No, not really. It appears momentarily and was briefly discussed at the end by the ninjas, but I don't think it was anything important. I just think it should have its own section since this is the first time anything like it has happened, not to mention specifically exclusive to Ash's Greninja. As it gets more insight during the episodes Greninja transforms, that's when a section should be made. I was just asking beforehand.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 23:55, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

== Greninja "revealed" to have hatched from an egg ==

Okay I think that piece of trivia is pointless. It's been made obvious on multiple occasions that ''all'' Pokémon hatch from eggs even in the anime as evidenced here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_Egg#In_the_anime so every Pokémon Ash has hatched from an egg including all of the starters he has. Not a single Pokémon is an exception and no Pokémon ever will be. Not counting clones obviously because that is a completely different situation.{{unsigned|Flain}}
:I have to agree here. The trivia directly implies that "it is not confirmed that Ash's other starter Pokémon have hatched from an Egg", which is very redundant statement to readers since all normal Pokémon hatch from an Egg. If we're not removing the trivia, at least change it to "Greninja is Ash's first starter Pokémon to have been seen as an Egg." or something. Just because something is technically true doesn't mean it's not notable.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:56, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
::Thank Arceus someone agrees with me. [[User:Flain|Flain]] ([[User talk:Flain|talk]]) 22:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
:::Rewording is fine, but the trivia is still valid. And it technically is unconfirmed that Ash's other starters hatched from an egg, especially the kanto crew, since eggs weren't a thing in Gen I.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:::: Dude it doesn't even matter whether or not eggs were introduced at the time. Okay you know what? How about this: if at any point I show you evidence that that at least one of Ash's Pokémon hatched from an egg or if it's proven in the show than you have to admit that you were wrong about everything and I was right. I think that sounds fair don't you? And I'm just trying to find a way to permanently end this dispute just so you know. {{unsigned|Flain}}
::::: Um, yes it does. It's the exact same reason with the genders, Pokémon [with Gender Differences] caught before Gen VI don't have their genders because Gender Differences weren't a thing when they were caught. Same thing here. One of Ash's '''STARTER''' (not just a Pokémon). Unless they reveal that one of Ash's other '''starter''' Pokémon hatched from an egg, then yes, it's unnotable. And I'm singling out starter Pokémon because Ash has plenty of those.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:50, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::::::You have no idea what I think about you right now.[[User:Flain|Flain]] ([[User talk:Flain|talk]]) 08:05, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:::::::It's been confirmed in both the games and the anime that each Pokémon comes from an Egg. I'm fine with rewording the trivia point, but I think it should be removed from the infobox as it gives the idea that Ash obtained Froakie as an Egg prior to the events of XY001, when he didn't. Every Pokémon was an Egg at some point in time, mentioning it in the infobox is pointless, that parameter should be used to a Pokémon that actually hatched under Ash's care, otherwise it's just stating the obvious. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 14:26, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

::::Ash never had Primeape as a Mankey, yet we mention it because it was a Mankey at one point. Same here, we mention the egg because it was shown to have hatched from an egg. The trivia is about what is revealed and what isn't, all Pokémon hatch from eggs, but Greninja is the first '''starter''' to have its egg revealed.
::::Ah, Togepi. There's a reason why I forgot it. And Eevee was caught well after Eggs were introduced. All Pokémon come from eggs, it's a question of whether the anime will outright show it (the egg).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:40, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}} I'm agreeing with what Mikuri said. We don't really need to say that Froakie hatched from an egg an unknown number of episodes before. Makes it seem like it happened when it was with Ash. Otherwise, we might as well put that in front of all the other 100+ Pokémon bio pages because sure enough, almost everyone else hatched from an egg an unknown number of episodes ago. --[[User:Rikeo|'''リック''']][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|'''EO''']] [[User talk:Rikeo|(メッセージ)]] 17:42, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:But on Ash's Primeape's and Ash's Krookodile's page it's mentioned in their infobox they had been a Mankey and a Sandile, despite not being Ash's at the time. This is because they have seen as a Mankey and a Sandile. Greninja has been seen as an Egg, so I think it's worth mentioning in the infobox. Also in the infobox of Iris's Axew it's mentioned it has spent an unknown number of episodes in its egg, because it has been explicitly said to have hatched from an egg, just like Greninja. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 18:08, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::Like Mikuri and Rikeo said, attempting to shoehorn Greninja's Egg form (and also [[Iris's Axew]]) into the "Egg obtained" field is just ''bad''; Iris and Ash plainly never ''had''/"obtained" those Eggs. If you really want that info in the infobox, you probably need to add a new/alternative type of field to the template instead.
::(FWIW) "Hatches in" is also a problematic field to use IMO; ''"Hatches in: prior to [the start of the series]"'' is just nothing but bad. [[James's Victreebel]] also has the same sort of problem with ''"Evolves in: Prior to The Breeding Center Secret"'', and probably others do. In these sort of places, y'all are again trying to shoehorn in flashback info where it plainly wasn't intended and doesn't strictly fit. Those fields are meant for when it happens in the normal course of the show, like [[Ash's Primeape]] or [[Misty's Togetic]]. But, since this perhaps has wider-ranging effects, I'm not going to insist too hard that that practice change or be "fixed" somehow...

==Blurb==

The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa is the star of ''Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages''! When Ash, Pikachu, and their friends visit a desert city by the sea, they meet the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, who has the ability to summon things—including people and Pokémon—through its magic ring. After a scary incident, they learn a story about a brave hero who stopped the rampage of a terrifying Pokémon long ago. Now, the threat that has been bottled up for years is in danger of breaking loose again! Can Ash help his new friend overcome the darkness within...or will a dangerous secret erupt into a clash of legends?

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
{{cleanup|section}}
One hundred years ago, a great battle between the Pokémon broke out in the desert city of [[Dahara City]], resulting in massive destruction. It is said that this battle was started by a specific Pokémon. However, it was later sealed away by [[Ghris|a certain man]]. After which, the city was able to recover and remain in a peaceful state for a century.

On his way to becoming a Pokémon Master, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue on with their journey. They arrived at a [[Pokémon Center]] on their way through the desert. While having donuts during their rest, a mysterious ring suddenly appeared behind them, where a hand stretched out from within the ring and grabbed the donuts. Ash shouted. Clinging to the hand, Ash and Pikachu were pulled into the ring, which immediately disappeared into thin air. {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} were left behind and taken aback by what happened to the two.

Ash and Pikachu were sent flying out of the ring. Noticing the sudden change of scenery, Ash became confused and confronted the culprit. Large towers appeared in the distance. Ash and Pikachu had travelled through the ring and teleported to their destination - Dahara City. The two also meet [[Meray]], a girl from the [[Arche Valley]] and Hoopa's caretaker. Being a prankster, Hoopa referred Ash and Pikachu as "Ashkan" and "Pikan" respectively, but they all soon became good friends.

Arriving in Dahara City, they meet Meray's brother [[Baraz]], who was holding the [[Prison Bottle]]. However, something seems off about him. Meanwhile, the bottle began emitting some form of evil aura, where a large shadow suddenly emerged from the bottle and revealing itself as Hoopa's Unbound form - Super Hoopa. Being the Pokémon that was sealed into the bottle after causing the rampage a century ago, Hoopa's original power was transformed into rage and ultimately reborn as Super Hoopa. The unbound Hoopa began going onto another rampage and uses its six rings to summon various [[Legendary Pokémon]]. In order to defend the city, Hoopa uses its own rings to summon more Legendary Pokémon. Will they be able to protect the city from another destruction? The legendary clash of the ages begin!

When Ash catches the Prison Bottle, however, he gets taken over by a Hoopa in a different form. Can Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and Hoopa free Ash from the other Hoopa's control or will its evil spirit inhabit in his body forever?

==Events==
===Pre-order distributions===
In Japan, players can receive an [[List of Japanese region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Désert City Arceus|Arceus]] via a serial code, after purchasing a pre-order ticket at a [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center store]] as well as other retail stores from March 7 to July 17, 2015. Each one holds one of 17 different [[plates]] or a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Silk Scarf}} that is chosen at random. The serial code only worked in Japanese region games. The codes expired on August 31, 2015.

In addition to receiving a serial code for Arceus which is limited to Japanese games, all players regardless of the 3DS's region could choose one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] to receive via infrared at the store the ticket was bought from June 20, 2015 to August 31, 2015. Players could choose {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Kyogre}}, {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Groudon}}, {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Dialga}}, {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Palkia}}, {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Giratina}}, or {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Kyurem}}.

===Movie distributions===
[[File:M18 Hoopa distribution artwork.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Hoopa distribution artwork]]
In Japan, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Movie Hoopa|Hoopa]] was distributed via local wireless at theaters which screen the movie across Japan, which occurred from July 18 to August 30, 2015. It was also distributed at a pre-showing of the movie on July 5, 2015, which was only open to selected people. Like all other local Generation VI events, this event is not region-locked; any player regardless of region and language will be able to receive Hoopa.

Additionally, [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Serena's Pancham]], {{DL|List of Japanese region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Lugia}}, and {{DL|List of Japanese region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Latios}}, all based from the movie, were made available between July 18 and August 16, 2015, available in pairs. Ash's Pikachu (holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}) and Serena's Pancham (holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Black Glasses}}) were available from July 18 to 31, 2015, while Latios (holding a {{DL|Mega Stone|Latiosite}}) and Lugia (holding {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}) were available from August 1 to 16, 2015.

To obtain these serial codes, players must have completed a stamp rally at 7-Eleven stores. If the player had two stamps, they could choose which of the two Pokémon available during that period that they want.

The codes could then be redeemed in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire]]. Each of the Pokémon can only be obtained once per game.

This event was then repeated at Pokémon Center stores after the Rally had ended. Pancham, was available from August 17 to 13, 2015, Pikachu was available from August 24 to 30, 2015, Latios was available from August 31 to September 6, 2015, and Lugia was available from September 7 to 13, 2015.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|The Archdjinni of the Rings: Hoopa Music Collection}}

==Trivia==
* This was the first movie to not have [[Hideki Sonoda]] act as screenwriter since ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. Instead, it was written by Atsuhiro Tomioka.
* The soundtrack for this film heavily features remixes and samples from previous films' soundtracks, including ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. the Sword of Justice]]'', and ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.
* In an opening scene, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are shown flying through a town with a similar appearance to [[Alto Mare]] which was the main setting of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''.
* This marks the second time Ash has been possessed by an evil entity, the first being in ''[[AG178|Battling The Enemy Within]]''.
* The movie was released on DVD in Australia and New Zealand by Beyond Home Entertainment on December 2, 2015, prior to the movie's premiere in the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the home video release in Japan.
* In the flashback where its forced to live in [[Arche Valley]], there is a shot where Hoopa performs an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'', which is a childish taunt involving pulling an eyelid down and sticking the tongue out. This was retained in the dub, even though similar shots were removed [[EP006|in]] [[AG002|previous]] [[AG072|episodes]].
