'''Exbo''' (Japanese: '''バクたろう''' ''Baktaro''), known as '''Explotaro''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is a {{p|Typhlosion}} that {{adv|Gold}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and his third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} overall. Gold received him from [[Professor Elm]]. As of ''[[PS456|All About Arceus V]]'', he is at [[level]] 84 and his [[Characteristic]] is that he is "a little quick tempered."

==History==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[File:Gold vs Silver Sprout Tower.png|thumb|left|200px|Exbo battling Totodile]]
Exbo first appeared as a Cyndaquil in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Row]]'' in [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, alongside {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} and [[Megaree|Chikorita]]. [[PS093|Later]], when {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} snuck into Elm's Lab, Gold choose Cyndaquil to fight Silver due to how upset he was at seeing Totodile being stolen. Exbo surrounds Silver with a ring of fire while Gold demands his [[bag|backpack]] and Totodile back. Before Silver can respond, however, a [[Team Rocket]] grunt interrupts and knocks Gold out of the way.

In ''[[PS098|Totodile Rock]]'', Exbo fought Totodile in the [[Sprout Tower]]. The two start out with {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Scratch}} and follow up with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Water Gun}}, giving Totodile the lead. Due to this, Exbo counters with {{m|Smokescreen}} and gives Gold a chance to take Totodile back, but he refuses and {{m|Bite|bites}} him. The smoke soon sets off an alarm in the tower and activates its traps, forcing the two Pokémon to team up and stop them. In the confusion, Silver escapes and Totodile [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Croconaw}}.

In ''[[PS103|You Ain't Nothin' but a Houndour]]'', Exbo battled alongside Gold's other Pokémon against the [[Masked Man]]. Exbo fought his {{p|Houndour}} and lost due to Gold not knowing how to handle battling with multiple Pokémon.

In ''[[PS108|Quilava Quandary]]'', Exbo is trained at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Exbo starts by using Smokescreen and follows up with Ember, but a {{p|Donphan}} deflects it. Later in the day, he battles a {{p|Primeape}} and defeats it with Ember thanks to a {{m|Sunny Day}} from {{p|Sunkern|Sunbo}}. After the battle, he evolves into {{p|Quilava}}. In ''[[PS110|Piloswine Whine]]'', Exbo is used alongside the rest of Gold's team to defeat Team Rocket's horde of Pokémon.
[[File:Gold and Exbo.png|thumb|left|200px|Exbo and Gold]]
In ''[[PS111|Tyranitar War]]'', Exbo was Gold's first choice in his battle against Silver and fought Croconaw again. Croconaw starts by drenching Exbo with Water Gun and biting down on him with Bite. Exbo manages to dodge the attack with {{m|Double Team}}, breaking Croconaw's teeth. Croconaw recovers and throws Exbo away, and Gold sends out Sunbo to support him with Sunny Day. Silver counters this by having {{TP|Silver|Sneasel}} use {{m|Blizzard}}, freezing her. Exbo attempts to help with Ember, but Gold decides Exbo cannot handle it and switches him out.
[[File:Exbo battling Lugia.png|thumb|175px|Battling Lugia]]
In ''[[PS113|Delibird Delivery - 1]]'', Exbo fought the Masked Man again. He and {{p|Sneasel}} attack his {{p|Delibird}} and manage to put some distance between the Masked Man and their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. The Masked Man then sends out {{p|Ariados}} and Houndour and Exbo and Sneasel attack with {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Icy Wind}}. The two Pokémon of the villain's suddenly disappear, and Gold, Exbo, and Sneasel are hit by a minor surprise attacks afterwards.

In ''[[PS147|Lively Lugia II]]'', Exbo meets back up with Croconaw and Megaree and fought against a wild {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}} at the [[Whirl Islands]]. When Lugia attempts to crush them under its weight, Exbo, Croconaw, and Megaree work together to hold Lugia up. The strain of this causes Exbo, Croconaw, and Megaree to evolve into {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, and {{p|Meganium}}, respectively. Though they succeed in saving their Trainers, Lugia eventually escapes.

In ''[[PS172|The Last Battle VI]]'', Exbo fought in Gold's last battle against the Masked Man. Exbo used his powered up fire power from Sunny Day to melt the Masked Man's ice and prevent him from regenerating his ice body. In ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', he fought alongside the other starters to try and stop [[Pryce]] from capturing {{adv|Celebi}}.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[File:Starters Ultimate Attacks Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Defeating the fake Kyogre]]
Prior to ''[[PS328|The Final Battle I]]'', Exbo was revealed to have mastered {{m|Blast Burn}} from [[Ultima]]. Exbo is first seen alongside [[Aibo]] to fight [[Guile Hideout]]. Exbo lets up a powerful flame, which Aibo increases by spinning Gold's pool cue to fan the flames in Guile's direction. In ''[[PS335|The Final Battle VIII]]'', Exbo teamed up with [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Chic]] to attack with Blast Burn to help destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s fake {{p|Kyogre}}.

==={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
[[File:Exbo Pokéathlon.png|thumb|left|200px|Exbo in the Pokéathlon Power Course]]
In ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', Exbo participated in the [[Pokéathlon]] alongside Aibo and [[Polibo]]. They started with the Skill Course, which ended with the round Snow Throw. The team threw snowballs at their opponents, with Aibo creating a gigantic one to earn them enough points to win. The same three later entered into the Stamina Course and managed to win that one as well.

In the [[PS443|next chapter]], the three entered the Power Course and went up against [[Koga]], [[Bruno]], and [[Will]]. They struggled against the [[Elite Four]] member's team in Circle Push and Goal Roll before entering the final match, Block Smash. In it, Gold faced Bruno and his {{p|Machamp}} as his final opponents. By having Aibo focus on critical hits against the blocks, the team was able to enter High Tension mode, allowing them to quickly catch up with Machamp's raw strength and win.

In ''[[PS444|One Tough Togepi]]'', Gold sends out Exbo alongside his other Pokémon, save [[Togebo]], to fight and distract [[Lance's Dragonite]], who was going on a rampage. With Aibo and the others distracting the Dragon Pokémon, Togebo was able to finish the battle with a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}}.

In ''[[PS453|All About Arceus II]]'', Exbo fought {{adv|Arceus}}. He attacks with a powerful Blast Burn, but fails to do any real damage.

In ''[[PS456|All About Arceus V]]'', Exbo, Silver's Feraligatr, and Megaree attacks the incomplete forms of {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Dialga}}, {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Palkia}}, and {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}} created by Arceus. Through a combination of the ultimate attacks, the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] are stopped, though this only delays their completion.

==={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===
In a flashback in [[PS598]], Ultima recalls how Gold and Exbo had trouble learning Blast Burn.

==Personality and characteristics==
Exbo is a very kind and caring Pokémon and cares deeply for his friends, first shown when he was angry at {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} being stolen. Exbo has a high amount of courage and even when fighting at a disadvantage he tries his absolute best in battle, refusing to give up. In battle, Exbo is often paired with {{p|Sunkern|Sunbo}} so that she can use {{m|Sunny Day}} to power up Exbo's {{t|Fire}} attacks.

'''Ash's Lycanroc''' (Japanese: '''サトシのルガルガン''' ''Satoshi's Lugarugan'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-ninth overall. Before being caught by Ash, it lived with {{an|Professor Kukui}}, although it was never officially Kukui's Pokémon.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
=====Under Professor Kukui's care=====
[[File:Ash Rockruff.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Rockruff]]
[[File:Rockruff and Kukui anime.png|thumb|250px|Rockruff and Professor Kukui]]
Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was a [[wild Pokémon]] that stumbled across {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house one day. It was starving and left {{status|Confusion|confused}} from another Pokémon's {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Professor Kukui gave it some [[Pokémon food]], which made Rockruff decide to stay at Kukui's house. From then on, Rockruff lived with Kukui, although he never {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a [[Poké Ball]].

Rockruff first appeared in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', where it had dinner and played with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was later seen the following day with Professor Kukui, watching the welcoming party {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}} had prepared for him. Kukui had planned to battle Ash and Pikachu with Rockruff, but the party was interrupted by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who challenged Ash to a battle instead.

In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', Rockruff came home injured, causing Ash and Professor Kukui to investigate the reason behind its injuries. This led them to [[Clawmark Hill]], where they discovered that Rockruff had been fighting with other wild Pokémon, including a {{p|Magmar}}. With Ash's help, Rockruff was able to master {{m|Rock Throw}}, which helped it defeat Magmar. At the end of the episode, Professor Kukui encouraged Ash to catch Rockruff after seeing the bond the two had developed.

=====With Ash=====
In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was used in its first official battle, in which it faced [[Hiroki]] and his {{p|Mudbray}}. During the battle, Rockruff performed {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} for the first time, which was able to defeat Mudbray.

In ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', Rockruff was seen training with [[Ash's Rowlet]] and {{AP|Litten}}. Later, it witnessed its evolved form {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} winning a battle against a {{p|Blastoise}}, which greatly impressed it. Ash later used Rockruff in his battle against {{an|Gladion}} in which it battled Lycanroc. Rockruff got quickly overwhelmed by Lycanroc's great speed and fierce moves but was still able to battle. The battle was then interrupted by {{TRT}}, who captured Pikachu and Lycanroc.
[[File:Ash and Lycanroc.png|thumb|250px|Lycanroc and Ash]]
In ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', Rockruff was used in the [[Akala Island]] grand trial alongside Rowlet, battling [[Olivia's Lycanroc]] and {{p|Probopass}}. Despite their opponents giving them tough times with their combination tactics, Rowlet eventually managed to defeat Probopass with {{m|Bloom Doom}}. Unfortunately, Rockruff, who was acting aggressively, was so desperate to battle Lycanroc by itself that it impulsively used {{m|Bite}} against Rowlet, accidentally knocking it out. Despite this setback, Ash encouraged Rockruff to use its fighting spirit, allowing it to outrun and defeat Lycanroc, thus earning Ash a [[Rockium Z]]. Professor Kukui and Olivia then revealed to Ash that Rockruff's behavior was a sign that it was going to [[evolution|evolve]] soon.

In ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', Rockruff went off by itself to train after remembering the aggression it demonstrated during Olivia's grand trial. While training, it encountered {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}}, who challenged it to a battle. Rockruff was no match for the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], however, and was easily beaten. When Ash found Rockruff, he tried to stop it from running away again but failed. The next day, Rockruff was walking on a cliffside when it got startled by a {{p|Fearow}}, causing it to fall down into a river. The injured Puppy Pokémon was later found by Olivia and Gladion's Lycanroc, who brought it to the [[Ruins of Life]], where Tapu Lele resided. When Ash, Professor Kukui, and Olivia arrived at the ruins, Tapu Lele used {{m|Draining Kiss}} to drain stamina from Ash and the two Lycanroc, which was then used to heal Rockruff's wounds. Afterward, Rockruff went to the edge of a cliff and began to howl as the setting sun {{wp|Green flash|turned green}}. It then evolved into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} Lycanroc, after which it got happily embraced by its Trainer and the rest of Ash's party.

In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Ash had Lycanroc use {{m|Continental Crush}} against Team Rocket, but the attack failed. After another attempt, Professor Kukui gave him some advice, which led to Ash training with {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. When Team Rocket showed up again and [[Jessie]] challenged Ash to a battle with her {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, Lycanroc mastered Continental Crush and sent Team Rocket blasting off, much to their surprise.
[[File:Ash Lycanroc berserk.png|thumb|left|250px|Lycanroc going berserk after discovering its fur is dirty]]
In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Ash discovered while washing Lycanroc that it was so proud of its appearance that it would fly into a rage and attack if its fur got dirty. Lycanroc attacked {{AP|Litten}} and Litten fought back, with Ash placing himself between his two errant Pokémon. This helped Lycanroc to calm down, and it was very apologetic towards Ash. Later, Ash used Lycanroc to battle Gladion's {{p|Type: Null}}, nicknamed Silvally, where it was outmatched by its opponent's sheer power. During the battle Lycanroc was thrown into a nearby lake which drenched its fur, causing another rage during which it refused to listen to Ash's commands. Despite this, Silvally was still the stronger opponent and Lycanroc was easily held at bay before it could regain control of itself. After Lycanroc recovered, Ash and Gladion decided to continue the battle, but despite its best efforts, Lycanroc couldn't stand up to the power of Silvally's {{m|Crush Claw}} and was defeated.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Lycanroc fought alongside {{an|Lillie}}'s {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]], against [[Lusamine's Clefable]], which was under {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}'s control. It saved Lillie from Clefable's {{m|Moonblast}} with an {{m|Accelerock}}. After Lycanroc knocked back Clefable with a {{m|Rock Throw}}, Lillie reminded Clefable of the Clefairy doll they used to play with together, in order to free it from Nihilego's command. When Clefable began powering up a move, Lillie gestured Lycanroc and Snowy not to attack before freeing Clefable with a simple embrace.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was used to battle [[Nanu]], going up against his {{p|Krookodile}}. During the battle, Nanu had Krookodile deliberately anger Lycanroc, even going so far as to make it go berserk by dirtying its fur with {{m|Mud-Slap}}. Despite the furious attacks in its angered state, Lycanroc was defeated after Krookodile used {{m|Counter}} to send it flying before finishing it off with {{m|Crunch}}. Afterward, at [[Acerola]]'s library, Lycanroc sulked over its defeat. It was cheered up after Ash asked Acerola to help him find a place where he could train for a rematch with Nanu.

In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Acerola took Ash to see {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]] so it could help him train. After some time, the duo managed to meet with Tapu Bulu and convince it to help them. At one point during their stay, it began raining, so Tapu Bulu decided to knock Lycanroc into a nearby pond, dirtying its fur and making it go berserk. By reminding Lycanroc of its time as a Rockruff and the bond they share, Ash finally managed to calm Lycanroc down. Impressed by this act, Tapu Bulu decided to battle Lycanroc. Though Tapu Bulu proved to be a powerful opponent, Lycanroc learned {{m|Stone Edge}} during the battle, after which Tapu Bulu called the battle off.
[[File:SM077.png|thumb|250px|Lycanroc battling Nanu's Alolan Persian]]
In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Ash faced Nanu in a grand trial battle but was only allowed to use Lycanroc against all three of Nanu's Pokémon. After managing to defeat Nanu's Krookodile and {{p|Sableye}}, it went up against Nanu's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Throughout the battle, Nanu used his previous strategy of angering Lycanroc so that it would go into its red-eyed state. Ash, worried that Lycanroc could go berserk again, kept telling it to keep calm throughout the battle. Nanu, realizing the truth of the situation, decided to anger Ash himself by mocking his skill as a Trainer. In order to calm its Trainer down, Lycanroc chose to tackle Ash, revealing that it was in complete control of itself the entire time. Realizing that he let his anger and frustration from Nanu's insults go to his head, Ash apologized to Lycanroc and continued the battle. After an exchange of Z-Moves with Persian as well as its newly learned {{m|Counter}}, Lycanroc won the battle, allowing Ash to win a [[Lycanium Z]].

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the {{an|Ultra Beasts}} they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon. After the successfully executed {{m|Splintered Stormshards}} had left the two Ultra Beasts momentarily vulnerable, {{an|Lana}} and Lillie were able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them and thus complete the mission.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Lycanroc joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc during his battle against Gladion and his own Lycanroc. Gladion's Lycanroc was able to withstand Splintered Stormshards before defeating Ash's Lycanroc with {{m|Devastating Drake}}.
[[File:Ash Lycanroc Gladion Lycanroc.png|thumb|250px|With [[Gladion's Lycanroc]]]]
In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc as his final Pokémon against Gladion and his own Lycanroc during the finals of the [[Manalo Conference]]. Ash's Lycanroc's attempts to get close to Gladion's Lycanroc were repeatedly intercepted by Counter and Stone Edge. After powering itself up with {{m|Swords Dance}}, Gladion's Lycanroc got close enough to attack with {{m|Outrage}}, only to get confused and bite its left arm. Ash had his Lycanroc take this opportunity to attack, only for Gladion's Lycanroc to retaliate with Counter, revealing it bit itself to snap itself out of the confusion. Ash had his Lycanroc rush in with Accelerock, hoping to land one final blow. Gladion had his Lycanroc intercept with one more Counter, but just as it connected, Ash had his Lycanroc use Counter as well. This sent Gladion's Lycanroc flying into the wall and subsequently knocking it out, thus winning Ash the battle and the championship.

In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Lycanroc was Ash's second Pokémon used during his exhibition battle against Professor Kukui, replacing {{AP|Torracat}} in the confrontation against [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]] after Ash [[recall]]ed it. When Incineroar used {{m|Darkest Lariat}} to stop Lycanroc's Stone Edge, Ash had Lycanroc grab one of the shards of the broken Stone Edge with its mouth and use it to attack Incineroar. The plan worked, allowing Lycanroc to deal the first bit of [[damage]] to Incineroar in the battle. Kukui then chose to recall Incineroar and send out {{p|Braviary}} in its place, while Ash chose to stick with Lycanroc. Their battle properly commenced in the [[SM142|next episode]]. While Lycanroc was able to endure a {{m|Sky Drop}} and deal some damage to its opponent, the [[Pokémon category|Wolf Pokémon]] was eventually defeated by a super effective {{m|Superpower}}.

In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc in a battle against Kiawe and his {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}. Following a collision between Splintered Stormshards and {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, Lycanroc emerged victorious.

Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Lycanroc, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Lycanroc greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].

In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Lycanroc attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].

In [[JN131]], Lycanroc watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In [[JN132]], Lycanroc appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.

[[File:Ash Lycanroc red eyes.png|thumb|250px|left|Lycanroc in full control of its red-eyed state]]
Lycanroc is normally a playful, affectionate Pokémon that gets along well with both Ash and its previous caretaker, Professor Kukui. The first night Ash stayed with the Professor, Rockruff, Pikachu, and Ash were quickly able to befriend each other. As a Rockruff, like other members of its species, it likes to greet and show affection to others by rubbing up against them with the rocks on its neck, although it doesn't seem to be aware that it stings the recipient. Its affectionate personality was also shown in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where, despite the fact that {{AP|Litten}} was angry toward it whilst eating and whilst relaxing at home, it continued to eat and smiled back at Litten respectively. Lycanroc appears to take its failures rather personally. As a Rockruff in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', after knocking out {{AP|Rowlet}} in a fit of anger, it immediately came to its senses and regretted what it had done, and, despite ultimately winning against [[Olivia]], was still visibly upset in [[SM037|the next episode]]. At the end of ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was seen sulking in the corner of [[Acerola]]'s house after losing its battle with [[Nanu]]'s {{p|Krookodile}}, prompting Ash to give it a pep talk.

Although Rockruff lived with Professor Kukui before being caught by Ash, it was actually a [[wild Pokémon]] that Professor Kukui was taking care of. When Ash revealed this to his classmates at the [[Pokémon School]], {{Rotom}} added that Rockruff readily bond with humans even if they are not captured by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. After evolving, Lycanroc started taking great pride in its fur, as shown in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', and is shown to enjoy being groomed and taking baths despite being a {{type|Rock}}, as observed by Rotom. However, if angered enough, such as when its fur gets dirty, Lycanroc's eyes turned red, and it would fly into a rage, lashing out at whomever it thought was responsible. When this happened, Lycanroc became [[obedience|disobedient]] and ignored Ash's commands. This weakness caused problems later during Ash's battle with Gladion and {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}, and was later the cause of its defeat at the hands of Nanu and his Krookodile in ''Tough Guy Trials!''. In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Lycanroc was able to overcome this destructive habit with the help of Ash and the bond the two shared, remembering a memory it had when it played in the mud happily with Ash and Pikachu when it was still a Rockruff. After this, Lycanroc no longer goes berserk when its fur is dirtied, as seen in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', where it got a bit of mud on its face and only reacted with disappointment. In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Lycanroc was revealed to have gained full control of its red-eyed state, allowing it to use it as a boost of power.

Lycanroc has a strong sense of smell as a Rockruff, which has been used to help find {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, Ash's missing [[Electrium Z]] and [[DJ Leo]]'s {{p|Dugtrio}}. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', it is revealed that Ash and Pikachu had to rely on Lycanroc's nose to guide them back from [[Ten Carat Hill]] after {{an|Light trio|Nebby}} had fallen asleep. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Lycanroc tends to spar with Litten on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer.

==In the games==
===In the core series===
[[Professor Kukui]] appears to own several Rockruff and Lycanroc in the games. He uses a Rockruff in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] to help with the capture, [[Z-Move]], and [[Battle Royal]] tutorials. He also uses a Midday Form Lycanroc in his battles against the {{player}} at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, a Midnight Form Lycanroc as the Masked Royal, and both forms in the Battle Tree in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Another Rockruff can be seen in [[Alola Route 1|Professor Kukui's Lab]].

Rockruff first appeared in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', under the ownership of [[Professor Kukui]]. It was first used to battle {{adv|Sun}}'s {{adv|Dollar}} at the [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. Initially, Rockruff had the advantage over Dollar due to Sun lacking the motivation to battle. Once Sun was given the proper motivation, he and Dollar easily defeated Rockruff, forcing Kukui to switch for {{p|Munchlax}}. Sometime later, it evolved into a Midday Form Lycanroc, and it was used to try and prevent a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], only to be defeated.

'''Munna''' (Japanese: '''ムンナ''' ''Munna'') is the secondary antagonist in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]. She is the leader of a group of Pokémon striving to protect the future that was foretold by their ally and master, {{mdc|Kyurem|gti}}: the destruction of the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}. To achieve this, it is Munna's objective to defeat any (transformed) humans that have entered the Pokémon world, sending them back to the human world before they can destroy the [[Bittercold]], the direct source of the world's impending ruin.

==History==
Munna has willingly sworn loyalty to {{mdc|Kyurem|gti}}, assisting it in its quest to protect the [[Bittercold]], ensuring the destruction of the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, which Munna considers to be a world where only the honest suffer. Together with her friends, Munna successfully manages to defeat every (transformed) human being that was called to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}} (the Voice of Life), sending them back to the human world, except for the player.

After the player enters the Pokémon world, transformed, Munna and her friends keep Hydreigon from meeting them, and through repeated dream visions orchestrated by Munna (starting with Munna taking control of Hydreigon's voice during his initial plea, accompanied by a fake vision of Munna being chased by Hydreigon), the player is led to believe that they were called to the Pokémon world in order to save Munna from Hydreigon. When the player and their partner find Munna, in a location far away from [[Pokémon Paradise]], she abruptly cuts the act and has the two surrounded by her team. In their escape from this encounter, the player is joined by Hydreigon, but is separated from their partner, who is subsequently taken hostage by Munna's team. Seeing through a trap set up by Munna, revolving around the use of Frism voice recording, the player and Hydreigon are able to rescue the partner and escape.

Munna's final encounter with the player's team occurs inside the Glacier Palace, where she partakes in the final showdown between her team and the player's team. After being defeated, Munna engages in dialogue with the player's team about the fate of the Pokémon world, explaining how she and her friends were thrown into despair after being forsaken by the world. She eventually starts to waver in her resolve, but nevertheless gets ready to fight the player's team once again. However, they are interrupted by {{mdc|Keldeo|gti}}, who appears alongside {{mdc|Umbreon and Espeon|gti}} via a [[Magnagate]], having been freed by the two. It is revealed that Keldeo had been a prisoner of Kyurem and Munna's team, in hope of convincing them to change their plans.

As the dialogue continues, with Munna further persuaded by the player and partner's conviction, tremors cause a huge icicle to collapse toward the player and partner. Munna jumps in and saves them from the terrain-splitting icicle, barely escaping it herself. She encourages the player and partner to confront Kyurem and save the world, declaring that she will not participate, as she has sworn loyalty to Kyurem. When the player is fighting the Bittercold, Munna is one of the Pokémon sending her "''Don't give up!''" thoughts to the player, weakening the Bittercold. Like the other Pokémon who were at the Glacier Palace as it crumbled after the Bittercold was destroyed, Munna is implied to have been saved by Kyurem.

She later reappears in Super Mystery Dungeon, and provides the player with a letter that has to be delivered to a Gigalith. She becomes a playable character once the message is successfully delivered. Speaking to her has her express remorse for previous actions, and that she wishes to make up for her mistakes.

==Personality and characteristics==
Dedicated to her cause, Munna is portrayed as a calm and collected Pokémon, displaying no signature phrase/exclamation/onomatopoeia in her dialogue, aside from the occasional, recurring ''Heh-heh-heh...'' (Japanese: '''フフフ・・・・・・''' ''Fufufu...''), unlike many other characters in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], including several of her teammates. She is well-respected as the leader among her friends, who refer to her as ''Lady Munna'' (Japanese: '''ムンナ{{tt|様|さま}}''' ''Munna-{{wp|Japanese honorifics#Sama|sama}}''). Although initially depicted as a cunning, deceiving leader accompanied by her gang of thugs, Munna and her teammates are shown to care deeply for each other as the story progresses. She is capable of communicating telepathically with {{mdc|Kyurem|gti}}, and performing various other acts of out-of-battle mind influence.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, she is apologetic for her previous actions, and wishes to atone for her previous sins.

==Moveset==
When fighting the player's team at the Glacier Palace, Munna does not have a universally fixed set of four moves, unlike most opponent Pokémon in Pokémon games.

She makes use of several [[Team Skill]]s, such as the Last Minute Skill, Prevention Skill, and Tough Skill, all of which are shared with her teammates, even in battles she does not partake in.

==Trivia==
* Munna shares some parallels with [[Cyrus]], the leader of [[Team Galactic]]. Both characters have a generally nihilistic outlook on the world and the people within it, both use [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve an end goal of destroying the current world, and both lead teams who feature {{p|Purugly}} and {{p|Toxicroak}} as major figures.

'''Todd Snap''' (Japanese: '''トオル''' ''Toru'') is a professional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[photography|photographer]]. Making his debut in the {{pkmn|anime}}, he is most notable as the [[player character]] of {{g|Snap}}.

==In the games==
[[File:Todd Snap sprite.png|thumb|left|Todd's sprite from [[Pokémon Snap]]]]
[[File:Todd Snap Pokémon Snap opening.png|thumb|left|180px|Todd in the opening of Pokémon Snap]]
===Pokémon Snap===
Todd is the protagonist of {{g|Snap}}. [[Professor Oak]] hires him to go to [[Pokémon Island]] with the [[ZERO-ONE]] vehicle to take pictures of [[wild Pokémon]] behaving naturally for the [[Pokémon Report]]. He travels all over the island, getting pictures of all the 63 {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} present on it, including the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}.

===New Pokémon Snap===
Years after the events of Pokémon Snap, Todd appears in [[New Pokémon Snap]] to assist the {{player}} in conducting an ecological survey of the [[Lental]] region. He also worked with [[Professor Mirror]] to design the player's vehicle, the [[NEO-ONE]], which is based on the ZERO-ONE. Prior to the events of the game, [[Phil]] was astonished by his pictures and asked Todd to become his mentor.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
The ZERO-ONE appears as a trophy in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. Todd is mentioned in the trophy description.
{{left clear}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Todd Snap.png|thumb|250px|left|Todd Snap in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Todd debuted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', where he began traveling with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} until ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. He had recently become famous after he took a picture of a supposedly extinct {{p|Aerodactyl}} — namely, the very same one that tried to eat Ash, who also appeared in the photo but was blurred out, in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. He was hailed for being able to "capture any Pokémon on film". After seeing the article in a magazine, {{MTR}} misunderstood the wording, not seeing the "on film" part. {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised themselves]] and hired Todd to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Japanese version of his debut episode has his resume revealing that he is 10 years old, although this was omitted from the English [[dub]] due to it zooming in on the picture and not translating his resume.

While Ash and his friends were taking a break, Ash suddenly spotted what he thought was a gun. Todd promptly emerged from the bushes, fearing that his camera would be damaged, and explained that he was trying to get a shot of Pikachu. Todd went on to invite Ash and his friends over to his home, which was filled with albums and wall hangings of many of his proudest shots. Todd's insistence on getting the perfect shot of Pikachu and show-off behavior continued to annoy Ash. However, after he and Ash became trapped in an underground pipe and defeated Team Rocket, the two boys eventually settled their differences.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', when {{an|Misty}} mentioned that it had been a while since {{Ash}} had earned a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] and mocked his skills as a Trainer, Todd suggested that Ash should take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] if he wanted to prove his skills. During the exam, Todd used his camera to capture Ash's disappointing results in the theory test, and also his reactions while battling [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] in the practice skills exam.

In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Todd's photography helped expose [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s Pokémon theft scheme and led to their arrest by [[Officer Jenny]]. Todd later left the trio to continue taking pictures in the mountains.

In ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'', Todd rejoined Ash's group while they were up in the mountains of [[Johto]]. He was trying to capture a picture of the [[legendary birds|Legendary bird]] {{OBP|Articuno|Johto}}. After successfully photographing the [[Legendary Pokémon]] in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', Todd decided to remain at [[Snowtop Mountain]] to continue taking photos of the local [[wild Pokémon]].

===Character===
[[File:Todd Snap home.png|thumb|250px|Todd's home]]
Todd is an enthusiastic photographer who enjoys adventuring through the mountains. He prefers to take natural shots to capture a Pokémon's true nature, and dislikes posed shots. His persistence and ambitious goals have helped him in his quick rise to fame.

In his debut appearance, Todd was more concerned with his camera equipment and getting a good shot. For example, in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', he attempted to take {{AP|Pikachu}}'s photograph while {{Ash}} remained stuck in one of {{TRT}}'s pitfall traps. He seems to have matured in his later appearances, since he was more aware of the surrounding situations and less prone to looking at the world through his camera lens.

He is also kindhearted, offering to take [[Sophia]] and [[Marcello]]'s 50th anniversary photograph in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

[[File:Todd Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Todd in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Todd appears as a recurring character in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, years after his debut appearances in other [[canon]]s. He is never referred to by name in this canon.

===={{chap|Emerald}}====
Todd debuted in ''[[PS303|Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo]]'', having come to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} as a reporter assigned to cover the area's seven-day opening ceremony. There, he encountered the eccentric young {{adv|Emerald}}, who ended up saving Todd from a wild {{TP|Emerald|Sudowoodo}}. Throughout the chapter, he followed the events in the Battle Frontier, aiding Emerald along with {{adv|Eon duo|Latias and Latios}} during the crisis caused by [[Guile Hideout]]. In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', {{adv|Professor Oak}} asked him if he would like to work with him by going to [[Pokémon Island|an island populated by a variety of Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon Snap|taking photos of them]]. He gladly accepted the offer.

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Todd made a cameo appearance in ''[[PAORAS09|Omega Alpha Adventure 9]]'', where he was seen riding the [[ZERO-ONE]] while hearing the news about the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteor]] that was about to hit the planet in several days.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Todd is the first male player character to meet Ash.
* Todd is the only spin-off game character to appear in [[Pokémon Adventures]] proper, and, due to his introduction in the {{pkmn|anime}} long before Pokémon Snap was released, the only anime-introduced character to appear in Pokémon Adventures.
* He had two separate names in the English-language dub. He is known as '''Todd''' in the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}, {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}}, and [[Pokémon TV]] versions and '''Snap''' in the DVD/VHS version. When [[Pokémon.com]] announced that the episodes featuring him would air on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Toonami Jetstream}} to celebrate the release of Pokémon Snap on [[Virtual Console]] in December 2007, they remedied the conflict by making Snap his surname.
* Including spin-off games, [[Kellyn]] and Todd Snap are the only human player characters who don't wear any sort of headwear.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kellyn anime.png|thumb|220px|Kellyn in the anime]]
Kellyn is ranked as a [[Top Ranger]] and carries a {{DL|Capture Styler|Vatonage Styler}}. He appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'' as a part of the [[Aura Sphere Riolu]] rescue mission.

In ''Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)'', Kellyn showed up to deflect Riolu's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, which had been directed at {{Ash}}. Kellyn was hesitant to accept help from Ash and {{ashfr}}, but he worked alongside them following [[Solana]]'s recommendation. While making a river crossing on a boat, Kellyn and the others were ambushed by a group of {{p|Sharpedo}} belonging to [[J's henchmen]]. After the boat was destroyed, Kellyn recruited a {{p|Floatzel}} to help him continue crossing the lake. He then became separated from Riolu after [[J's Salamence]] fired a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the group, though Ash swam after Riolu.

In ''Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)'', Kellyn recruited three {{p|Blastoise}} to put out a forest fire caused by Salamence. Later, he rescued Ash from a high fall from J's ship with a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Staraptor}}. He flew back to the group and continued their search for Riolu. With the help of Ash's [[Aura]]-sensing abilities, they were able to track Riolu down just as [[J]] was handing over Riolu to {{OBP|J's client|DP071|her client}}.

While {{an|Dawn}} and Brock took care of the client's henchmen, Ash and Kellyn went after the client himself. The two caught up to him in a cave. Despite him engineering several rock falls to keep them at bay, Kellyn used a {{p|Donphan}} to destroy them. He and Ash then confronted the client and defeated him in a battle to rescue Riolu. Afterwards, Kellyn returned Riolu to its caretaker.

===Character===
Kellyn is calm and collected on the job. He tends to rush into the danger, such as when when he first confronted the [[Aura Sphere Riolu]], and again when he used a {{p|Dodrio}} to run off a steep cliff to take on {{OBP|J's client|DP071}}'s {{p|Fearow}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Kellyn Ranger PRB.png|thumb|left|200px|Kellyn in Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic]]
===Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic===
Kellyn is a major character in Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic. Here, Kellyn is a Top Ranger with an extreme hobby in collecting Ranger-related objects and photographic memory of every mission that any specific Ranger has done. He has great pride in his collection and gets very angry if it gets dirtied.

Kellyn first appears in the [[Vien Forest]] after a wildfire starts in the area. After recalling the very first time a Field Move was used by [[Sven]], he puts out the fire with a {{p|Blastoise}}. Soon after, he encounters Kate, a newly-appointed Top Ranger stationed that the Vien Base. After hearing that she saw his Ranger collection, Kellyn takes Kate to see the rest of it, but gets angry once he sees that she dirtied a copy of his [[Almia Times]] with her unclean hands. He decides to switch the magazine with a clean one, but notices a mysterious figure in the picture.
[[File:Kellyn PRB.png|thumb|200px|Kellyn as a Ranger School student]]

Later, once Kate receives her Fine Styler, she goes outside to find Kellyn practicing capturing Pokémon, something he has been doing after seeing the mysterious figure. After using a magnifying glass created by Kate, they enlarge the Almia Times and find that the figure was a {{p|Darkrai}} floating near the [[Altru Tower]]. They go to the tower and find [[Professor Hastings]] hanging from a steel girder on the tower. Kellyn rescues Hastings using a newly-captured {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Starly}}.

Soon after, they are the group is attacked by Heath of the [[Sinis Trio]]. Kellyn, Kate, and Hastings escapes by entering the tower's elevator, leaving Barlow and Crawford behind while they combat Heath's Pokémon. Upon exploring the tower, Kellyn and Kate confront Lavana and Ice, who have stolen the Tears of Princes from the [[Luminous Crystal]] and injured its guardian, Darkrai. Ice freezes the two with his {{p|Froslass}}, but thanks to Kate's technological skills, Kellyn's upgraded Styler becomes strong enough to break free of the ice.

They manage to retrieve the Tears, but find that their old teacher, [[Kincaid]], is really a member of Team Dim Sun and has Darkrai under his control. Kincaid reveals that with the Tears of the Princes removed, the Shadow Crystal corrupts Darkrai into an evil Pokémon. While pursing the escaped Kincaid, Kellyn breaks down once he realizes that nothing like this moment has happened in his records, thus making him unsure if they could succeed. Kate cheers him up by stating to forget the past, and sends Kellyn off to face Kincaid while she fights the remaining Pokémon alone.

With his and Kate's {{p|Pachirisu}}, Kellyn successfully captures Darkrai, freeing it from the Shadow Crystal's control. With Darkrai's help, Kellyn defeats Kincaid, foiling his plans in the process. With Kincaid defeated, Kate, Barlow, Crawford, and Hastings return with all three Tears recovered. They restore the Luminous Crystal back to its proper state and see Darkrai off as it flies to another region.

He also used a Donphan, which Ash [[Ash's Donphan|also has]].
* Kellyn is the second male [[player character]] to meet Ash after [[Todd Snap]].
* Additionally, including spin-off games, Kellyn and Todd Snap are the only human player characters who don't wear any sort of headwear.

'''Ash's Infernape''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゴウカザル''' ''Satoshi's Goukazaru'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and his thirtieth overall. He was [[Original Trainer|initially owned]] by [[Paul]] as a Chimchar, but joined Ash's [[Party|team]] after being {{pkmn2|released}} in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Paul and Chimchar.png|thumb|left|220px|As a Chimchar under Paul's command]]
=====With Paul=====
Infernape was once a Chimchar owned by Paul. Prior to the events of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Paul saw Chimchar being chased by a furious group of wild {{p|Zangoose}} and followed. The situation began to look bad for Chimchar as he was cornered by a cliff's edge, but in his stress, he pulled off an extremely powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}} and defeated all of the Zangoose. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match up with Chimchar's normal abilities or personality, resulting in Paul looking down on him and criticizing him for being weak. Since then, Paul has been pushing Chimchar to the limit to duplicate the amazing power he saw before. Traumatized, Chimchar had also gained a morbid fear of Zangoose.

Chimchar debuted in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', where Paul used him to battle [[Ash's Aipom]]. He fought well but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' where he won against [[Ash's Turtwig]].
[[File:Paul training method.png|thumb|220px|Paul's harsh training regime with Chimchar]]
In ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', Paul used Chimchar in his Gym Battle against [[Roark]] and his {{p|Onix}}. Chimchar immediately took damage from Onix's previously placed {{m|Stealth Rock}} but remained standing. Chimchar then continued to use {{m|Dig}} until Onix was knocked out, having support from [[Paul's Elekid]] and its {{a|Static}} Ability slowing Onix down. Chimchar then went up against [[Roark's Cranidos]]. Paul used the same strategy again, having Chimchar dodge and attack with Dig. However, Roark had figured it out and dealt major damage from continuous attacks from {{m|Headbutt}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, causing Chimchar to activate {{a|Blaze}}, something it turned out Paul had been waiting for. Chimchar attacked with a powered-up Flame Wheel and injured Cranidos's leg, following up with Dig, but was knocked out by a Headbutt, leaving Paul angry with Chimchar for his defeat and promising to deal with him later.

After losing to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved directing several of his other Pokémon to attack Chimchar in the hopes of recreating the power he had displayed against the Zangoose before. Chimchar accidentally struck Ash with his {{m|Flamethrower}}, causing him to panic and check on the trainer, but Ash simply complimented Chimchar on his growing strength. After both Ash and [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] questioned Paul on his harshness towards Chimchar and not his other Pokémon, he explained that he was training Chimchar as it wanted, something the {{t|Fire}}-type nodded to confirm. Ash sadly tried to explain to Chimchar that there were other ways to get stronger, but a conflicted Chimchar still followed Paul to return to training when called on.

Paul's brutal methods soon left Chimchar unable to even stand, at which point Paul instructed Elekid to use {{m|Thunder}} on the defenseless Pokémon to wake it up: at this point, an angered [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] rushed in with {{m|Volt Tackle}} to defend Chimchar from the attack, and Ash finally intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy sternly told an impatient Paul that he would be unable to battle and that he had to be given time to recover. Paul ignored this warning, however.
[[File:Chimchar_shields_Turtwig_Fire_Blast.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar protecting Turtwig, despite its fear]]
During the next battle, Chimchar and Ash's Turtwig were pit against a {{p|Metagross}} and a Zangoose, leaving Chimchar too afraid to even attack and having to be saved by Turtwig, who had been instructed by Ash to protect the weakened Fire type, when caught in Zangoose's claws. However, Paul commanded the reluctant Chimchar to attack with Flame Wheel even when Turtwig would be hit and seriously injured by the super-effective {{t|Fire}} move, which a remorseful Chimchar made up for when it acted against its fear to shield Turtwig from the Zangoose's {{m|Fire Blast}} attack. Realizing that being forced to relive the trauma of being attacked by Zangoose only frightened Chimchar instead of motivating it and activating Blaze, even as it courageously held off Zangoose's attack, Paul gave up on the [[Pokémon category|Chimp Pokémon]], turning his back and refusing to give Chimchar further orders. However, as all seemed lost, Ash stepped in and gave Chimchar commands instead, helping him defeat Metagross with a powerful Flamethrower, and the three soon won the battle. Chimchar celebrated alongside Ash and Turtwig, but his happiness was cut short as he noticed Paul's continued silence.

Not caring for Chimchar's strengths and seeing only its failure to live up to his expectations, Paul went outside after the battle and{{pkmn2|released}} Chimchar back into the wild, before Ash and his friends arrived on the scene. As the dejected Pokémon began to head into the woods, Ash invited the Fire type to join his team instead. Paul rudely commented that the two deserved each other: both were pathetic. Despite this, Ash encouraged Chimchar to ignore his former trainer, and told him they'd prove Paul wrong he was together. As Paul walked away, a tearful and joyful Chimchar accepted Ash's invitation.

=====With Ash=====
[[File:Ash inviting Chimchar.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash inviting Chimchar to join his party]]
[[DP052|Immediately after]] being released and offered to join Ash, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] arrived and kidnapped Chimchar with the extendable hand of [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]], wanting to make him part of their team. However, after Ash assured him they would help him, a reassured Chimchar acted on his own and easily destroyed the mecha with a single Flamethrower, sending the trio blasting off. After being caught by Ash as he fell, Chimchar happily allowed a trainer to catch it once again.

In the final round of the competition, Paul and Ash selected {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} and Chimchar for their last battle in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' against [[Conway]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and [[Dawn's Buizel]]. During the battle, Elekid evolved into Electabuzz, and they both combined {{m|Thunder}} and Flamethrower on Buizel and Heracross to knock them out. This victory meant that Ash and Paul won the Hearthome City Tag Battle Tournament.

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', Ash and his friends had a picnic party. Chimchar watched as Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}}'s other Pokémon had fun playing, battling, and helping cook together. Chimchar began to have flashbacks of when he was still in Paul's possession, reflecting on how his former Trainer abused him and treated him like nothing more than a tool for battle, giving him a few minutes to eat before going back to extensive training and even putting him down as he celebrated his victories, as opposed to how Ash and {{ashfr}} treat their Pokémon like friends, caring for them and not pushing them too hard. Chimchar began to cry, relieved but overwhelmed to finally be treated with patience and kindness, something Paul failed to provide as his trainer.

That night, Chimchar was woken up by a nightmare of Paul's training and wandered off, finding [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] alone under the stars. To Chimchar's surprise, Meowth sat and spoke with him as they looked at the moon, listening to him and encouraging Chimchar that his friends would support him. The next day, after a scheme from Team Rocket went wrong due to a pack of wild Zangoose feuding with [[Jessie's Seviper]], Chimchar was faced with the challenge of having to fight three of the Cat Ferret Pokémon in order to save Team Rocket and the rest of Ash and friends' Pokémon from being pushed off a cliff. Though still terrified, with his new trainer's protection and the support of his allies and even Meowth, Chimchar was able to overcome this fear and save the other Pokémon, getting rid of Team Rocket in the process as they tried to sneak away.

In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', Ash used Chimchar in his Gym battle against the [[Veilstone City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Maylene]]. Chimchar battled {{p|Meditite}}, but was recalled after Meditite confused him. He was then sent out against {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} where he was ultimately defeated, despite a valiant effort.

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock ran into Paul, which initially caused Chimchar to hide. Ash and Paul entered an argument over their training methods which led to an enraged Ash challenging Paul to a battle, which the trainer ignored until a spirited Chimchar ran out and barked at him, causing him to accept. After {{Ash's Gligar}} was taken down, Chimchar volunteered to go up against his former trainer, facing [[Paul's Ursaring]]. Ursaring and Paul used brutal tactics and terrified the poor Pokémon, until eventually Chimchar was pushed to the point of Blaze activating - now in a state far more intense than even Paul had seen before. Chimchar quickly and easily defeated Ursaring with a single Flame Wheel, but went on an uncontrollable rampage. Ash ran up and embraced a flaming Chimchar, begging him to stop. Chimchar continued to struggle and yell, even biting Ash in his rage, but eventually, Ash's pleading got through and Chimchar calmed down, frightened by everything that had happened. Despite this, Ash assured him that Chimchar would be able to control his power despite Paul's doubts, managing to cheer him up.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', while battling [[Team Galactic]], Chimchar protected Pikachu from a {{m|Poison Jab}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. Chimchar was incapacitated for the rest of the fight, and was later thanked by Ash after receiving medical treatment. {{an|Cynthia}} then comforted Chimchar about his past with Paul.

[[File:DP053.png|thumb|220px|Ash comforting Chimchar]]
Ash later used Chimchar to battle {{an|Barry}} in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]''. Chimchar easily defeated Barry's {{p|Staraptor}}, using its superior agility. However, despite the type advantage, Chimchar lost to Barry's {{p|Roserade}}.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Ash used Chimchar as his second Pokémon in his [[Hearthome City]] Gym battle, going up against [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. Chimchar used Flame Wheel, which was dodged before Mismagius used {{m|Psywave}}, hitting Chimchar. Chimchar then spun and used Flamethrower, creating a Fire [[Counter Shield]], which hit Mismagius, but was eventually broken by Mismagius' {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Mismagius later used Psywave against Chimchar's Counter Shield, but this only blocked the Flamethrower, allowing Chimchar to hit with Flame Wheel, knocking Mismagius out. Chimchar was then recalled. Chimchar was later sent out as Ash's last Pokémon to battle against Fantina's {{TP|Fantina|Drifblim}}. His Flame Wheel was countered by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but this gave Ash an idea. Chimchar then used Flamethrower, but was countered by Drifblim's Will-O-Wisp and {{m|Psychic}} Counter Shield. However, this only powered up Flamethrower, making it deal massive damage. After Ominous Wind was dodged by Dig, Chimchar came from behind and grabbed onto Drifblim, crashing it into the ground. Drifblim used Hypnosis, but Chimchar countered with Flamethrower, knocking out Drifblim and earning Ash the {{badge|Relic}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was Ash's first Pokémon in his battle against [[Byron]], taking on Byron's {{p|Bronzor}}. Roark quickly identified him as Paul's Chimchar that he had battled against before. First Chimchar used Flamethrower, but it didn't do much damage due to Bronzor's Ability {{a|Heatproof}}. Chimchar tried using Flamethrower again, but he was countered by {{m|Rain Dance}}, which dealt damage to Chimchar. Chimchar escaped by using Dig but his Flamethrower was countered by {{m|Gyro Ball}}. Chimchar's Flame Wheel clashed with Gyro Ball, knocking Bronzor out. After Ash's Buizel was defeated, Chimchar was sent out again against Byron's {{p|Steelix}}. After using a Flamethrower, Chimchar was shown to be weakened from his last battle. After using Dig to dodge {{m|Iron Tail}}, Steelix shook the ground to hurt Chimchar. This happened again when Chimchar dodged {{m|Bind}}, but just as Chimchar was about to be caught by a second Bind, the ground collapsed on Steelix due to it being weakened by Dig, allowing Chimchar to finish it off with Flame Wheel. He then went up against {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}}. His Flamethrower was countered with {{m|Iron Defense}} and then {{m|Metal Burst}}, which returned the damage, knocking Chimchar out.
[[File:Ash Chimchar snowboarding.png|thumb|left|250px|Chimchar snowboarding on an ice pillar]]
In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', he was Ash's fourth Pokémon in his Snowpoint Gym battle, battling [[Candice]]'s {{p|Snover}}. After dodging {{m|Ice Beam}}, his Flamethrower clashed with her {{m|Icy Wind}} creating water vapor. Ash told Chimchar not to panic and to sense Snover's movements. When he sensed her, he used Flamethrower, knocking her out. he then went up against Candice's {{p|Abomasnow}}. His Flamethrower was overpowered by her {{m|Blizzard}}, knocking Chimchar backward. Ash then recalled Chimchar. He was later sent out again against Abomasnow once again after {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Grotle}} were defeated. His Flamethrower was overpowered by Blizzard again but Chimchar was able to dodge. He struggled to dodge its next two attacks. Ash then decided to rely on speed after power wasn't enough, but didn't know how to go about it. After Chimchar dodged Blizzard, {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}}, Ash saw the ice break and told Chimchar to jump on an ice pillar. After Abomasnow broke the ice, Chimchar used a piece of ice like a snowboard, increasing his speed and letting him launch multiple successful Flamethrowers. After dodging more attacks, Abomasnow became tired. Flame Wheel went up against Blizzard, creating more water vapor, but Abomasnow was already knocked out. This won Ash the {{badge|Icicle}}.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Chimchar was Ash's sixth Pokemon used in the Full Battle Ash had against Paul. He was the last Pokemon that hadn't been knocked out by Paul's other Pokemon, which he still had the use of five. Chimchar quickly defeated [[Paul's Ursaring]], which had previously taken down three of Ash's Pokémon, and evolved soon after into a Monferno, immediately learning Mach Punch. During the following battle against [[Paul's Electabuzz]], he put up a very close fight, but was defeated in a clash of Mach Punch and {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and badly injured, resulting in a loss for Ash.

In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Monferno, along with the rest of Ash's Sinnoh team, was under the care of [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]], suffering bodily repercussions from the rough Full Battle loss against Paul. He needed a [[Cheri Berry]] to heal, but the Pokémon Center didn't have any. After Brock went to get one by the lake, he recovered. Later, he helped rescue Pikachu from {{TRT}} by hitting them with his newly-learned Mach Punch, before blasting them off with Flamethrower.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', he was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Dawn against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. Monferno used Flamethrower on [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]'s Flame Wheel to defeat Lyra's {{p|Chikorita}}, and defeated Khoury's newly evolved {{TP|Khoury|Croconaw}} with a Mach Punch.

[[File:Ash Infernape Blaze.png|thumb|250px|Blaze activated as Infernape]]
In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Monferno battled [[Barry's Empoleon]]. After being struck by a {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and sent crashing into the forest nearby, Monferno entered once again into an uncontrollable rampage with {{a|Blaze}}, but managed to control it at the last second in order to save Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]], [[Paul's Electabuzz]], and Barry's Empoleon from {{TRT}}'s falling [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], evolving into an {{p|Infernape}} in the process.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Ash used Infernape in a battle against [[Flint's Infernape]]. However, despite his power and speed, he was unable to keep up with Flint's Infernape and was quickly knocked out with a Mach Punch.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Infernape was Ash's third Pokémon in Ash's rematch against [[Volkner]], going up against Volkner's {{p|Jolteon}}. Infernape launched a Mach Punch only to be hit with a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After dodging one {{m|Shadow Ball}}, he blocked the others with Mach Punch. Infernape was able to use Mach Punch before another Shadow Ball was launched, knocking Jolteon out. Infernape was then recalled. He was later sent out against Volkner's last Pokémon, {{p|Luxray}}. Infernape's Flamethrower drew with Luxray's equally powerful Shock Wave. Luxray then dodged his Mach Punch with {{m|Double Team}}. Though Infernape destroyed all the clones, he was hit with {{m|Thunder Fang}}, but dodged a second with Dig. However, Luxray used {{m|Iron Tail}} to hit the ground, exposing Infernape and dealing lots of damage. Luxray went to finish off a downed Infernape with Thunder Fang but was interrupted by Team Rocket knocking out the power. Then Infernape's Blaze activated, initially sending it out of control, with Flamethrower hitting the wall and roof. But when Ash told Infernape to stop, he walked over to Ash and was able to listen to him, as he controlled Blaze for the first time. Obeying Ash, he launched an extremely powerful Flamethrower but was hit by Thunder Fang, which Infernape easily countered with Mach Punch. He then countered Iron Tail with a fast Mach Punch. He then knocked Luxray out with Flame Wheel, winning Ash the {{badge|Beacon}}.

Before the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash decided he would need help from his previously caught Pokémon. Due to this, Infernape, along with Ash's Sinnoh party except for {{AP|Pikachu}} were all sent to Professor Oak's Laboratory. [[DP185|Later]] during the tournament Ash recalled Infernape to his team and trained against [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] to improve Flame Wheel, when Infernape suddenly learned {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Ash originally planned to use him in his battle against Conway along with his {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Glalie}}, but after Dawn said power may not be enough, he decided not to focus on sheer power and instead used different Pokémon.

Infernape was later used in [[DP186|the Full Battle]] against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he managed to burn Aggron with Flare Blitz before defeating it with Mach Punch. Ash decided to recall him when Paul sent out his {{p|Gastrodon}}. [[DP187|Later on]] he was sent out again to battle Paul's {{p|Ninjask}}. Ninjask's {{m|Agility}} was getting the better of him so Ash told him to use Dig then Flare Blitz, which heated up the field. This caused fire to erupt out of the ground and created a mist over the whole field, drastically damaging Ninjask but also cancelling {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. After putting up a good fight, Infernape was able to put an end to Ninjask's lightning speed with a Mach Punch, evening the score.
[[File:Ash Infernape Paul Electivire.png|thumb|left|250px|The rivalry between Infernape and Electivire]]
Infernape was sent out once more after Pikachu's elimination against Paul's now fully evolved [[Paul's Electivire|Electivire]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', as the battle came down to the final Pokémon on both sides. Infernape initially caused Electivire severe damage, but after multiple traded blows, his arm was caught by Electivire's tail, and he was shocked by a brutal Thunder attack while being held in place, causing him to collapse and the referee to begin to declare him unable to battle. Electivire stopped the referee, however, giving Infernape time to get back up. Seeing Electivire's goading and hearing Paul once again declare him pathetic, an explosive Infernape finally stood and roared as Blaze activated once again. With the increase in strength, he was able to give a final stand against the Thunderbolt Pokémon and push it to the limit with his attacks, leading into an explosive collision between a devastating Flare Blitz and Electivire's Thunder Punch that created a massive tornado of blue fire and electricity in the stadium - Infernape eventually overpowered Electivire's attack, and though visibly sustaining [[recoil]] from Flare Blitz, Infernape remained standing after one final stare-off as his opponent collapsed. Though worn from the battle, Infernape celebrated at finally proving his strength against his former trainer and rival, and giving Ash his first victory against Paul along with access to the Semifinal Round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Ash left Infernape at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Unova]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Infernape was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash Infernape vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|Infernape battling Moltres]]
Infernape made a return in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''. When visiting Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]], Ash learned from {{an|Professor Oak}} that Infernape had picked fights with some of his other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, before disappearing a few days earlier. When Ash and Goh went to look for Infernape, they met {{Gary}}, who told them that he was looking for {{p|Moltres}}. He also revealed to them that Infernape had continued to train on his own after Ash had left for Unova, so much to the point that he rarely saw him around his grandfather's lab. They then deduced that Infernape, evidently intent on growing stronger, must have left the lab in order to find and battle the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Fire-type Pokémon.
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|left|Infernape and Ash's Fire types celebrating with Gengar after it defeated Paul]]
They then traveled to a valley where Gary was expecting Moltres to appear and found Infernape there, calling out for Moltres. As Infernape reunited with Ash, Moltres appeared, having heard Infernape's calls. Ash used Infernape to battle against Moltres, but despite putting in his best effort, he stood no chance against the [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]], and ended up backing down from the fight. After the battle concluded, Infernape returned to Professor Oak's Lab and shared his experience with his Fire-type comrades, making them understand his reasoning for picking fights with them.

Infernape appeared in a flashback of Ash's Gym battle with Volkner in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]''.

Infernape, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, he met up with his former Trainer and later joined Ash's other Fire types to help teach [[Ash's Gengar]] {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. After this, he watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Infernape was gathered with the rest of Ash's Pokémon to watch his [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. He was later seen celebrating when Gengar managed to defeat Steven's {{p|Aggron}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Infernape.png|thumb|250px|Infernape and Ash]]
As a Chimchar, Infernape suffered from extremely low self-esteem due to [[Paul]]'s constant scolding and harsh treatment, making Chimchar fear Paul to some extent, always feeling fear and anxiety whenever he believed Paul would punish him by not living to his Trainer's expectations. This was also briefly extended towards {{Ash}}, as when Chimchar heard Ash yell out to him, Chimchar froze in fear, believing that Ash would punish him, but was greatly surprised to find out that Ash's yelling was out of concern rather than anger. Nonetheless, Chimchar was always a sweet and kindhearted Pokémon, although he was forced to suppress and hide these emotions around Paul, as whenever Chimchar showed any emotion other than anger and ferocity, he was scolded or reprimanded by Paul. Despite this, Chimchar always did his best to please Paul, and even after all his mistreatment, Chimchar, after being released by Paul, pleaded for him to change his mind, albeit unsuccessfully.
[[File:Paul and Infernape.png|thumb|left|250px|Infernape and Paul]]
After being taken in by Ash, Chimchar had difficulty blending in with his new Trainer's atmosphere, as he realized that unlike Paul, his new Trainer and fellow Pokémon were always happy and helped each other, and rarely showed any signs of hostility amongst themselves. When Ash urged Chimchar to unleash all of his suppressed feelings, Chimchar cried his heart out while being held in his arms, being overwhelmed with joy at finally being treated with love, care, and respect, and not having to suffer from mistreatment again. Since then, Chimchar's strength slowly began to increase, something that Paul always tried, but was never able to do. [[Reggie]] speculated that Paul's training methods weren't suited for Chimchar, but Ash's worked perfectly, and Chimchar quickly became one of Ash's most used and powerful Pokémon in Sinnoh.
[[File:DP081.png|thumb|220px|Blaze out of control]]
One of the keys to Infernape's power Paul sought was his {{a|Blaze}} Ability, something his first trainer would try to push Infernape to exhaustion to draw out; even going so far as to trying to make the then-Chimchar relive the stress of its traumatic experience being cornered and outnumbered by {{p|Zangoose}}. However, when Infernape faced down his former trainer and his [[Paul's Ursaring|Ursaring]] for the first time as a Chimchar under Ash's care, Blaze emerged again with a drastically different new appearance, with the Pokémon's eyes glowing red and his flames growing larger than his entire body. Ash, who had witnessed the Blaze Ability from other {{t|Fire}}-types numerous times in the past and watched it activate in Infernape's battle with [[Roark]], even described it as unlike any Blaze he had seen prior, and {{an|Brock}} noted to {an|Dawn}} during this explosive Blaze's first appearance that they could be witnessing Infernape's full power.

However, possibly as a result of Infernape's past experience of being pushed to his limit and of Blaze activating under immense stress, this incredible dormant power came with a drastic change in personality; Infernape went completely berserk, attacking anyone and anything that stood in his way, friend or foe. This anger and rage caused Infernape to lose any common sense, such as nearly fatally wounding his own Trainer, and it took Ash a large amount of effort and pain to finally calm Infernape down the first few times Infernape entered this state, after which Infernape was at first shown to be frightened. However, Infernape ultimately overcame this issue during his battle against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Luxray}}, where with the trust of his trainer, he managed to retain his common sense and still listen to Ash's commands while Blaze was activated, finally gaining mastery over the incredible power its former trainer had once tried to force.
[[File:Ash Infernape great power.png|thumb|250px|left|Infernape unleashing his overwhelming power]]
After reaching his final evolved stage, Infernape gained an immense amount of fighting spirit, becoming fired up and determined to defeat strong opponents, while also always looking forward to battle an opponent stronger than himself, wanting to surpass his own limits and enhance his skills. Infernape is also incredibly feisty and resilient, being capable of withstand many powerful attacks and still continue battling, even as far as thriving while feeling pain, as Infernape uses the pain and exhaustion to motive himself to continue battling and ultimately achieve victory. As noted by Reggie, Infernape's personality almost completely matches Ash's, which is why they are a perfect match for one another. He still retains some of his childlike and excitable personality from when he was a Chimchar, shown especially when he hugged Ash and let his trainer spin him around after emerging victorious in the Gym battle Volkner, and like when he was a Chimchar, always takes any advice and motivation he receives, even from his enemies, such as {{MTR}}.

From the moment they met, Infernape and {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} had an intense rivalry, even from their Chimchar-{{p|Elekid}} days, and when both were under Paul's command, as Elekid, along with Paul, always looked down on Chimchar, thinking of Infernape as inferior than itself, and always felt pleasure whenever it belittled him. Over time, however, Electivire grew to respect Infernape's increasing power, and was glad and amused to see that he had evolved into {{p|Monferno}} during their battle at [[Lake Acuity]], with Infernape also returning the respect towards Electivire. Infernape and Electivire's respect and admiration towards one another reached his peak during their final battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], when the referee was about to declare Infernape unable to continue, Electivire angrily stopped the referee from ending the battle, knowing that Infernape could still continue, despite the fact that he would mean Paul winning the battle, but he seemed extremely delighted to see Infernape getting back to his feet, wanting to battle him for as long as possible. After Infernape bested Electivire, he was visibly smirking at seeing Infernape on top, and finally viewed Infernape as its equal.

Since being left at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Infernape continued his training by challenging all of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon to battles, and even went out of his way to challenge the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Moltres}} upon hearing of its rumored appearance. Despite this, Infernape does get along with Ash's Fire types and is usually hanging out with them. Infernape also formed a friendship {{AP|Gengar}} when it began training with the Fire types for the [[Masters Tournament]], helping Gengar learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and cheering over its victory against Paul.

Bagel-chan: i realized a while ago, but infernape's blaze changed *significantly* during chim-charred and this was noted in-universe, so i thought his unique blaze should be explained a little more - also added stuff to history to focus more on chimchar/infernape's own character progression

'''Ash's Infernape''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゴウカザル''' ''Satoshi's Goukazaru'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and his thirtieth overall. He was [[Original Trainer|initially owned]] by [[Paul]] as a Chimchar, but joined Ash's [[Party|team]] after being {{pkmn2|released}} in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Paul and Chimchar.png|thumb|left|220px|As a Chimchar under Paul's command]]
=====With Paul=====
Infernape was once a Chimchar owned by Paul. Prior to the events of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Paul saw Chimchar being chased by a furious group of wild {{p|Zangoose}} and followed. The situation began to look bad for Chimchar as he was cornered by a cliff's edge, but in his stress, he pulled off an extremely powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}} and defeated all of the Zangoose. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match up with Chimchar's normal abilities or personality, resulting in Paul looking down on him and criticizing him for being weak. Since then, Paul has been pushing Chimchar to the limit to duplicate the amazing power he saw before. Traumatized, Chimchar had also gained a morbid fear of Zangoose.

Chimchar debuted in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', where Paul used him to battle [[Ash's Aipom]]. He fought well but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' where he won against [[Ash's Turtwig]].
[[File:Paul training method.png|thumb|220px|Paul's harsh training regime with Chimchar]]
In ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', Paul used Chimchar in his Gym Battle against [[Roark]] and his {{p|Onix}}. Chimchar immediately took damage from Onix's previously placed {{m|Stealth Rock}} but remained standing. Chimchar then continued to use {{m|Dig}} until Onix was knocked out, having support from [[Paul's Elekid]] and its {{a|Static}} Ability slowing Onix down. Chimchar then went up against [[Roark's Cranidos]]. Paul used the same strategy again, having Chimchar dodge and attack with Dig. However, Roark had figured it out and dealt major damage from continuous attacks from {{m|Headbutt}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, causing Chimchar to activate {{a|Blaze}}, something it turned out Paul had been waiting for. Chimchar attacked with a powered-up Flame Wheel and injured Cranidos's leg, following up with Dig, but was knocked out by a Headbutt, leaving Paul angry with Chimchar for his defeat and promising to deal with him later.

After losing to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved directing several of his other Pokémon to attack Chimchar in the hopes of recreating the power he had displayed against the Zangoose before. Chimchar accidentally struck Ash with his {{m|Flamethrower}}, causing him to panic and check on the trainer, but Ash simply complimented Chimchar on his growing strength. After both Ash and [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] questioned Paul on his harshness towards Chimchar and not his other Pokémon, he explained that he was training Chimchar as it wanted, something the {{t|Fire}}-type nodded to confirm. Ash sadly tried to explain to Chimchar that there were other ways to get stronger, but a conflicted Chimchar still followed Paul to return to training when called on.

Paul's brutal methods soon left Chimchar unable to even stand, at which point Paul instructed Elekid to use {{m|Thunder}} on the defenseless Pokémon to wake it up: at this point, an angered [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] rushed in with {{m|Volt Tackle}} to defend Chimchar from the attack, and Ash finally intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy sternly told an impatient Paul that he would be unable to battle and that he had to be given time to recover. Paul ignored this warning, however.
[[File:Chimchar_shields_Turtwig_Fire_Blast.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar protecting Turtwig, despite its fear]]
During the next battle, Chimchar and Ash's Turtwig were pit against a {{p|Metagross}} and a Zangoose, leaving Chimchar too afraid to even attack and having to be saved by Turtwig, who had been instructed by Ash to protect the weakened Fire type, when caught in Zangoose's claws. However, Paul commanded the reluctant Chimchar to attack with Flame Wheel even when Turtwig would be hit and seriously injured by the super-effective {{t|Fire}} move, which a remorseful Chimchar made up for when it acted its fear to shield Turtwig from the Zangoose's {{m|Fire Blast}} attack. Realizing that being forced to relive the trauma of being attacked by Zangoose only frightened Chimchar instead of motivating it and activating Blaze, even as it courageously held off Zangoose's attack, Paul gave up on the [[Pokémon category|Chimp Pokémon]], turning his back and refusing to give Chimchar further orders. However, as all seemed lost, Ash stepped in and gave Chimchar commands instead, helping him defeat Metagross with a powerful Flamethrower, and the three soon won the battle. Chimchar celebrated alongside Ash and Turtwig, but his happiness was cut short as he noticed Paul's continued silence.

Not caring for Chimchar's strengths and seeing only its failure to live up to his expectations, Paul went outside after the battle and{{pkmn2|released}} Chimchar back into the wild, before Ash and his friends arrived on the scene. As the dejected Pokémon began to head into the woods, Ash invited the Fire type to join his team instead. Paul rudely commented that the two deserved each other: both were pathetic. Despite this, Ash encouraged Chimchar to ignore his former trainer, and told him they'd prove Paul wrong he was together. As Paul walked away, a tearful and joyful Chimchar accepted Ash's invitation.

=====With Ash=====
[[File:Ash inviting Chimchar.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash inviting Chimchar to join his party]]
[[DP052|Immediately after]] being released and offered to join Ash, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] arrived and kidnapped Chimchar with the extendable hand of [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]], wanting to make him part of their team. However, after Ash assured him they would help him, a reassured Chimchar acted on his own and easily destroyed the mecha with a single Flamethrower, sending the trio blasting off. After being caught by Ash as he fell, Chimchar happily allowed a trainer to catch it once again.

In the final round of the competition, Paul and Ash selected {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} and Chimchar for their last battle in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' against [[Conway]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and [[Dawn's Buizel]]. During the battle, Elekid evolved into Electabuzz, and they both combined {{m|Thunder}} and Flamethrower on Buizel and Heracross to knock them out. This victory meant that Ash and Paul won the Hearthome City Tag Battle Tournament.

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', Ash and his friends had a picnic party. Chimchar watched as Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}}'s other Pokémon had fun playing, battling, and helping cook together. Chimchar began to have flashbacks of when he was still in Paul's possession, reflecting on how his former Trainer abused him and treated him like nothing more than a tool for battle, giving him a few minutes to eat before going back to extensive training and even putting him down as he celebrated his victories, as opposed to how Ash and {{ashfr}} treat their Pokémon like friends, caring for them and not pushing them too hard. Chimchar began to cry, relieved but overwhelmed to finally be treated with patience and kindness, something Paul failed to provide as his trainer.

That night, Chimchar was woken up by a nightmare of Paul's training and wandered off, finding [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] alone under the stars. To Chimchar's surprise, Meowth sat and spoke with him as they looked at the moon, listening to him and encouraging Chimchar that his friends would support him. The next day, after a scheme from Team Rocket went wrong due to a pack of wild Zangoose feuding with [[Jessie's Seviper]], Chimchar was faced with the challenge of having to fight three of the Cat Ferret Pokémon in order to save Team Rocket and the rest of Ash and friends' Pokémon from being pushed off a cliff. Though still terrified, with his new trainer's protection and the support of his allies and even Meowth, Chimchar was able to overcome this fear and save the other Pokémon, getting rid of Team Rocket in the process as they tried to sneak away.

In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', Ash used Chimchar in his Gym battle against the [[Veilstone City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Maylene]]. Chimchar battled {{p|Meditite}}, but was recalled after Meditite confused him. He was then sent out against {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} where he was ultimately defeated, despite a valiant effort.

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock ran into Paul, which initially caused Chimchar to hide. Ash and Paul entered an argument over their training methods which led to an enraged Ash challenging Paul to a battle, which the trainer ignored until a spirited Chimchar ran out and barked at him, causing him to accept. After {{Ash's Gligar}} was taken down, Chimchar volunteered to go up against his former trainer, facing [[Paul's Ursaring]]. Ursaring and Paul used brutal tactics and terrified the poor Pokémon, until eventually Chimchar was pushed to the point of Blaze activating - now in a state far more intense than even Paul had seen before. Chimchar quickly and easily defeated Ursaring with a single Flame Wheel, but went on an uncontrollable rampage. Ash ran up and embraced a flaming Chimchar, begging him to stop. Chimchar continued to struggle and yell, even biting Ash in his rage, but eventually, Ash's pleading got through and Chimchar calmed down, frightened by everything that had happened. Despite this, Ash assured him that Chimchar would be able to control his power despite Paul's doubts, managing to cheer him up.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', while battling [[Team Galactic]], Chimchar protected Pikachu from a {{m|Poison Jab}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. Chimchar was incapacitated for the rest of the fight, and was later thanked by Ash after receiving medical treatment. {{an|Cynthia}} then comforted Chimchar about his past with Paul.

[[File:DP053.png|thumb|220px|Ash comforting Chimchar]]
Ash later used Chimchar to battle {{an|Barry}} in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]''. Chimchar easily defeated Barry's {{p|Staraptor}}, using its superior agility. However, despite the type advantage, Chimchar lost to Barry's {{p|Roserade}}.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Ash used Chimchar as his second Pokémon in his [[Hearthome City]] Gym battle, going up against [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. Chimchar used Flame Wheel, which was dodged before Mismagius used {{m|Psywave}}, hitting Chimchar. Chimchar then spun and used Flamethrower, creating a Fire [[Counter Shield]], which hit Mismagius, but was eventually broken by Mismagius' {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Mismagius later used Psywave against Chimchar's Counter Shield, but this only blocked the Flamethrower, allowing Chimchar to hit with Flame Wheel, knocking Mismagius out. Chimchar was then recalled. Chimchar was later sent out as Ash's last Pokémon to battle against Fantina's {{TP|Fantina|Drifblim}}. His Flame Wheel was countered by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but this gave Ash an idea. Chimchar then used Flamethrower, but was countered by Drifblim's Will-O-Wisp and {{m|Psychic}} Counter Shield. However, this only powered up Flamethrower, making it deal massive damage. After Ominous Wind was dodged by Dig, Chimchar came from behind and grabbed onto Drifblim, crashing it into the ground. Drifblim used Hypnosis, but Chimchar countered with Flamethrower, knocking out Drifblim and earning Ash the {{badge|Relic}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was Ash's first Pokémon in his battle against [[Byron]], taking on Byron's {{p|Bronzor}}. Roark quickly identified him as Paul's Chimchar that he had battled against before. First Chimchar used Flamethrower, but it didn't do much damage due to Bronzor's Ability {{a|Heatproof}}. Chimchar tried using Flamethrower again, but he was countered by {{m|Rain Dance}}, which dealt damage to Chimchar. Chimchar escaped by using Dig but his Flamethrower was countered by {{m|Gyro Ball}}. Chimchar's Flame Wheel clashed with Gyro Ball, knocking Bronzor out. After Ash's Buizel was defeated, Chimchar was sent out again against Byron's {{p|Steelix}}. After using a Flamethrower, Chimchar was shown to be weakened from his last battle. After using Dig to dodge {{m|Iron Tail}}, Steelix shook the ground to hurt Chimchar. This happened again when Chimchar dodged {{m|Bind}}, but just as Chimchar was about to be caught by a second Bind, the ground collapsed on Steelix due to it being weakened by Dig, allowing Chimchar to finish it off with Flame Wheel. He then went up against {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}}. His Flamethrower was countered with {{m|Iron Defense}} and then {{m|Metal Burst}}, which returned the damage, knocking Chimchar out.
[[File:Ash Chimchar snowboarding.png|thumb|left|250px|Chimchar snowboarding on an ice pillar]]
In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', he was Ash's fourth Pokémon in his Snowpoint Gym battle, battling [[Candice]]'s {{p|Snover}}. After dodging {{m|Ice Beam}}, his Flamethrower clashed with her {{m|Icy Wind}} creating water vapor. Ash told Chimchar not to panic and to sense Snover's movements. When he sensed her, he used Flamethrower, knocking her out. he then went up against Candice's {{p|Abomasnow}}. His Flamethrower was overpowered by her {{m|Blizzard}}, knocking Chimchar backward. Ash then recalled Chimchar. He was later sent out again against Abomasnow once again after {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Grotle}} were defeated. His Flamethrower was overpowered by Blizzard again but Chimchar was able to dodge. He struggled to dodge its next two attacks. Ash then decided to rely on speed after power wasn't enough, but didn't know how to go about it. After Chimchar dodged Blizzard, {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}}, Ash saw the ice break and told Chimchar to jump on an ice pillar. After Abomasnow broke the ice, Chimchar used a piece of ice like a snowboard, increasing his speed and letting him launch multiple successful Flamethrowers. After dodging more attacks, Abomasnow became tired. Flame Wheel went up against Blizzard, creating more water vapor, but Abomasnow was already knocked out. This won Ash the {{badge|Icicle}}.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Chimchar was Ash's sixth Pokemon used in the Full Battle Ash had against Paul. He was the last Pokemon that hadn't been knocked out by Paul's other Pokemon, which he still had the use of five. Chimchar quickly defeated [[Paul's Ursaring]], which had previously taken down three of Ash's Pokémon, and evolved soon after into a Monferno, immediately learning Mach Punch. During the following battle against [[Paul's Electabuzz]], he put up a very close fight, but was defeated in a clash of Mach Punch and {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and badly injured, resulting in a loss for Ash.

In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Monferno, along with the rest of Ash's Sinnoh team, was under the care of [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]], suffering bodily repercussions from the rough Full Battle loss against Paul. He needed a [[Cheri Berry]] to heal, but the Pokémon Center didn't have any. After Brock went to get one by the lake, he recovered. Later, he helped rescue Pikachu from {{TRT}} by hitting them with his newly-learned Mach Punch, before blasting them off with Flamethrower.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', he was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Dawn against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. Monferno used Flamethrower on [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]'s Flame Wheel to defeat Lyra's {{p|Chikorita}}, and defeated Khoury's newly evolved {{TP|Khoury|Croconaw}} with a Mach Punch.

[[File:Ash Infernape Blaze.png|thumb|250px|Blaze activated as Infernape]]
In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Monferno battled [[Barry's Empoleon]]. After being struck by a {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and sent crashing into the forest nearby, Monferno entered once again into an uncontrollable rampage with {{a|Blaze}}, but managed to control it at the last second in order to save Ash's Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]], [[Paul's Electabuzz]], and Barry's Empoleon from {{TRT}}'s falling [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], evolving into an {{p|Infernape}} in the process.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Ash used Infernape in a battle against [[Flint's Infernape]]. However, despite his power and speed, he was unable to keep up with Flint's Infernape and was quickly knocked out with a Mach Punch.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Infernape was Ash's third Pokémon in Ash's rematch against [[Volkner]], going up against Volkner's {{p|Jolteon}}. Infernape launched a Mach Punch only to be hit with a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After dodging one {{m|Shadow Ball}}, he blocked the others with Mach Punch. Infernape was able to use Mach Punch before another Shadow Ball was launched, knocking Jolteon out. Infernape was then recalled. He was later sent out against Volkner's last Pokémon, {{p|Luxray}}. Infernape's Flamethrower drew with Luxray's equally powerful Shock Wave. Luxray then dodged his Mach Punch with {{m|Double Team}}. Though Infernape destroyed all the clones, he was hit with {{m|Thunder Fang}}, but dodged a second with Dig. However, Luxray used {{m|Iron Tail}} to hit the ground, exposing Infernape and dealing lots of damage. Luxray went to finish off a downed Infernape with Thunder Fang but was interrupted by Team Rocket knocking out the power. Then Infernape's Blaze activated, initially sending it out of control, with Flamethrower hitting the wall and roof. But when Ash told Infernape to stop, he walked over to Ash and was able to listen to him, as he controlled Blaze for the first time. Obeying Ash, he launched an extremely powerful Flamethrower but was hit by Thunder Fang, which Infernape easily countered with Mach Punch. He then countered Iron Tail with a fast Mach Punch. He then knocked Luxray out with Flame Wheel, winning Ash the {{badge|Beacon}}.

Before the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash decided he would need help from his previously caught Pokémon. Due to this, Infernape, along with Ash's Sinnoh party except for {{AP|Pikachu}} were all sent to Professor Oak's Laboratory. [[DP185|Later]] during the tournament Ash recalled Infernape to his team and trained against [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] to improve Flame Wheel, when Infernape suddenly learned {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Ash originally planned to use him in his battle against Conway along with his {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Glalie}}, but after Dawn said power may not be enough, he decided not to focus on sheer power and instead used different Pokémon.

Infernape was later used in [[DP186|the Full Battle]] against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he managed to burn Aggron with Flare Blitz before defeating it with Mach Punch. Ash decided to recall him when Paul sent out his {{p|Gastrodon}}. [[DP187|Later on]] he was sent out again to battle Paul's {{p|Ninjask}}. Ninjask's {{m|Agility}} was getting the better of him so Ash told him to use Dig then Flare Blitz, which heated up the field. This caused fire to erupt out of the ground and created a mist over the whole field, drastically damaging Ninjask but also cancelling {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. After putting up a good fight, Infernape was able to put an end to Ninjask's lightning speed with a Mach Punch, evening the score.
[[File:Ash Infernape Paul Electivire.png|thumb|left|250px|The rivalry between Infernape and Electivire]]
Infernape was sent out once more after Pikachu's elimination against Paul's now fully evolved [[Paul's Electivire|Electivire]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', as the battle came down to the final Pokémon on both sides. Infernape initially caused Electivire severe damage, but after multiple traded blows, his arm was caught by Electivire's tail, and he was shocked by a brutal Thunder attack while being held in place, causing him to collapse and the referee to begin to declare him unable to battle. Electivire stopped the referee, however, giving Infernape time to get back up. Seeing Electivire's goading and hearing Paul once again declare him pathetic, an explosive Infernape finally stood and roared as Blaze activated once again. With the increase in strength, he was able to give a final stand against the Thunderbolt Pokémon and push it to the limit with his attacks, leading into an explosive collision between a devastating Flare Blitz and Electivire's Thunder Punch that created a massive tornado of blue fire and electricity in the stadium - Infernape eventually overpowered Electivire's attack, and though visibly sustaining [[recoil]] from Flare Blitz, Infernape remained standing after one final stare-off as his opponent collapsed. Though worn from the battle, Infernape celebrated at finally proving his power against his former trainer and rival, and giving Ash his first victory against Paul along with access to the Semifinal Round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Ash left Infernape at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Unova]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Infernape was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash Infernape vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|Infernape battling Moltres]]
Infernape made a return in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''. When visiting Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]], Ash learned from {{an|Professor Oak}} that Infernape had picked fights with some of his other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, before disappearing a few days earlier. When Ash and Goh went to look for Infernape, they met {{Gary}}, who told them that he was looking for {{p|Moltres}}. He also revealed to them that Infernape had continued to train on his own after Ash had left for Unova, so much to the point that he rarely saw him around his grandfather's lab. They then deduced that Infernape, evidently intent on growing stronger, must have left the lab in order to find and battle the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Fire-type Pokémon.
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|left|Infernape and Ash's Fire types celebrating with Gengar after it defeated Paul]]
They then traveled to a valley where Gary was expecting Moltres to appear and found Infernape there, calling out for Moltres. As Infernape reunited with Ash, Moltres appeared, having heard Infernape's calls. Ash used Infernape to battle against Moltres, but despite putting in his best effort, he stood no chance against the [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]], and ended up backing down from the fight. After the battle concluded, Infernape returned to Professor Oak's Lab and shared his experience with his Fire-type comrades, making them understand his reasoning for picking fights with them.

Infernape appeared in a flashback of Ash's Gym battle with Volkner in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]''.

Infernape, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, he met up with his former Trainer and later joined Ash's other Fire types to help teach [[Ash's Gengar]] {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. After this, he watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Infernape was gathered with the rest of Ash's Pokémon to watch his [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. He was later seen celebrating when Gengar managed to defeat Steven's {{p|Aggron}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Infernape.png|thumb|250px|Infernape and Ash]]
As a Chimchar, Infernape suffered from extremely low self-esteem due to [[Paul]]'s constant scolding and harsh treatment, making Chimchar fear Paul to some extent, always feeling fear and anxiety whenever he believed Paul would punish him by not living to his Trainer's expectations. This was also briefly extended towards {{Ash}}, as when Chimchar heard Ash yell out to him, Chimchar froze in fear, believing that Ash would punish him, but was greatly surprised to find out that Ash's yelling was out of concern rather than anger. Nonetheless, Chimchar was always a sweet and kindhearted Pokémon, although he was forced to suppress and hide these emotions around Paul, as whenever Chimchar showed any emotion other than anger and ferocity, he was scolded or reprimanded by Paul. Despite this, Chimchar always did his best to please Paul, and even after all his mistreatment, Chimchar, after being released by Paul, pleaded for him to change his mind, albeit unsuccessfully.

After being taken in by Ash, Chimchar had difficulty blending in with his new Trainer's atmosphere, as he realized that unlike Paul, his new Trainer and fellow Pokémon were always happy and helped each other, and rarely showed any signs of hostility amongst themselves. When Ash urged Chimchar to unleash all of his suppressed feelings, Chimchar cried his heart out while being held in his arms, being overwhelmed with joy at finally being treated with love, care, and respect, and not having to suffer from mistreatment again. Since then, Chimchar's strength slowly began to increase, something that Paul always tried, but was never able to do. [[Reggie]] speculated that Paul's training methods weren't suited for Chimchar, but Ash's worked perfectly, and Chimchar quickly became one of Ash's most used and powerful Pokémon in Sinnoh.
[[File:DP081.png|thumb|220px|Blaze out of control]]
One of the keys to Infernape's power Paul sought was his {{a|Blaze}} Ability, something his first trainer would try to push Infernape to exhaustion to draw out; even going so far as to trying to make the then-Chimchar relive the stress of its traumatic experience being cornered and outnumbered by {{p|Zangoose}}. However, when Infernape faced down his former trainer and his [[Paul's Ursaring|Ursaring]] for the first time as a Chimchar under Ash's care, Blaze emerged again with a drastically different new appearance, with the Pokémon's eyes glowing red and his flames growing larger than his entire body. Ash, who had witnessed the Blaze Ability from other {{t|Fire}}-types numerous times in the past and watched it activate in Infernape's battle with [[Roark]], even described it as unlike any Blaze he had seen prior, and {{an|Brock}} noted to {an|Dawn}} during this explosive Blaze's first appearance that they could be witnessing Infernape's full power.

However, possibly as a result of Infernape's past experience of being pushed to his limit and of Blaze activating under immense stress, this incredible dormant power came with a drastic change in personality; Infernape went completely berserk, attacking anyone and anything that stood in his way, friend or foe. This anger and rage caused Infernape to lose any common sense, such as nearly fatally wounding his own Trainer, and it took Ash a large amount of effort and pain to finally calm Infernape down the first few times Infernape entered this state, after which Infernape was at first shown to be frightened. However, Infernape ultimately overcame this issue during his battle against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Luxray}}, where with the trust of his trainer, he managed to retain his common sense and still listen to Ash's commands while Blaze was activated, finally gaining mastery over the incredible power its former trainer had once tried to force.
[[File:Ash Infernape great power.png|thumb|250px|left|Infernape unleashing his overwhelming power]]
After reaching his final evolved stage, Infernape gained an immense amount of fighting spirit, becoming fired up and determined to defeat strong opponents, while also always looking forward to battle an opponent stronger than himself, wanting to surpass his own limits and enhance his skills. Infernape is also incredibly feisty and resilient, being capable of withstand many powerful attacks and still continue battling, even as far as thriving while feeling pain, as Infernape uses the pain and exhaustion to motive himself to continue battling and ultimately achieve victory. As noted by Reggie, Infernape's personality almost completely matches Ash's, which is why they are a perfect match for one another. He still retains some of his childlike and excitable personality from when he was a Chimchar, shown especially when he hugged Ash and let his trainer spin him around after emerging victorious in the Gym battle Volkner, and like when he was a Chimchar, always takes any advice and motivation he receives, even from his enemies, such as {{MTR}}.

From the moment they met, Infernape and {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} had an intense rivalry, even from their Chimchar-{{p|Elekid}} days, and when both were under Paul's command, as Elekid, along with Paul, always looked down on Chimchar, thinking of Infernape as inferior than itself, and always felt pleasure whenever it belittled him. Over time, however, Electivire grew to respect Infernape's increasing power, and was glad and amused to see that he had evolved into {{p|Monferno}} during their battle at [[Lake Acuity]], with Infernape also returning the respect towards Electivire. Infernape and Electivire's respect and admiration towards one another reached his peak during their final battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], when the referee was about to declare Infernape unable to continue, Electivire angrily stopped the referee from ending the battle, knowing that Infernape could still continue, despite the fact that he would mean Paul winning the battle, but he seemed extremely delighted to see Infernape getting back to his feet, wanting to battle him for as long as possible. After Infernape bested Electivire, he was visibly smirking at seeing Infernape on top, and finally viewed Infernape as its equal.

Since being left at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Infernape continued his training by challenging all of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon to battles, and even went out of his way to challenge the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Moltres}} upon hearing of its rumored appearance. Despite this, Infernape does get along with Ash's Fire types and is usually hanging out with them. Infernape also formed a friendship {{AP|Gengar}} when it began training with the Fire types for the [[Masters Tournament]], helping Gengar learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and cheering over its victory against Paul.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Grass (TCG)}}

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Bug-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{TCG|Grass}}-type Pokémon.

Bug-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fire}}-type Pokémon and have a resistance to {{TCG|Fighting}}-types. They are strong against {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Water}}, whilst {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon resisted it until the {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansion set before this resistance was brought back in {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}.

==Trivia==
* The Bug type is the only [[type]] that hasn't been assigned to a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* The Bug type has been paired with every other type except for {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, and {{t|Normal}}.
** This makes Bug the only type that hasn't been paired with the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Dragon}} types.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Bug-type Pokémon, with three.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Bug-type moves of any Generation, with seven, and Generations II, III, and VIII introduced the fewest Bug-type moves, with three.
* The {{t|Flying}} type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type, with the other type being {{t|Poison}}. However, there are a number of Bug types that are not Flying-types nor have the Ability {{a|Levitate}} despite being able to fly, such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Venomoth}}.
** Despite this, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Vikavolt}}, are not Flying types.
*** Out of these three Pokémon, Vikavolt is the only one that could not learn Fly in its introductory generation; Vikavolt was made able to learn Fly at [[level]] 50 and from [[TM06]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* Until {{v2|Platinum}}, several Bug-type Pokémon ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}) were unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally. Each of them can now learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level-up.
* In [[Generation I]], the Bug type is [[super effective]] against {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, while the Poison type is super effective against Bug-type Pokémon. As such, this was the only case when two different types were ever super-effective against each other.
** Additionally, since Generation I, the Bug and {{t|Fighting}} types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
* The Bug type was the most common 4× weakness in Generation I, with 11 Pokémon doubly weak to it, mainly due to Poison type having a weakness to it at the time.
* Each of the three {{pkmn2|starter}} types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Bug-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
** This trait is also shared with the {{t|Steel}} type.
* No Pokémon gains the Bug type upon evolution that did not already have it. It shares this distinction with the {{t|Normal}} type.
** Additionally, no Pokémon gains the Bug type upon changing forms with the exceptions of {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which can change into any type.
* Of all Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|evolve at or above a certain level]], 11 of the earliest-evolving Pokémon are of the Bug type.
* Despite having no [[TM]]s that are of the Bug-type in [[Generation III]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta#Sprites|internal data]] contains a sprite for Bug-type TMs.
* All Bug-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* The Bug type is the only type without a Pokémon that has a [[regional form]] or is one.
* The Bug type is the only type without a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}}.

'''Puka''' (Japanese: '''マイケル''' ''Michael'') is a {{m|surf}}ing {{p|Pikachu}} that appeared in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.

==History==
[[File:Young Puka.png|thumb|left|200px|Puka in his youth]]
[[File:Victor and Puka.png|thumb|left|200px|Puka and Victor]]
Puka is at least twenty years old, having been first found by surfing enthusiast {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} shortly after he failed to conquer a large wave, "Humungadunga" (Japanese: '''ビッグ・チューズデー''' ''Big Tuesday''). Victor was trying to emulate a feat achieved by his surfing hero [[Jan]] two decades ago. Puka looks noticeably older and larger than [[Ash's Pikachu]], with wrinkles beneath his eyes. His ears have a different shape, similar to mini-humps, while most Pikachu ears are straight and pointy. His eyes are blue, while Ash's Pikachu's eyes, as well as most Pikachu eyes, are dark brown. Puka can sense big waves coming to the {{an|Seafoam Island}} beach where he lives, causing his eyes to glow. Incidentally, he does not use any {{type|Electric}} attacks throughout the entire episode, even when captured by {{TRT}} it is Ash's Pikachu that attacks. Whether Puka can in fact use any Electric attacks is up for debate, since his cheeks do not spark during the episode either.

Puka was rescued by Victor after Team Rocket's submarine was attacked by a group of angry {{p|Gyarados}}. At that moment, Humungadunga made its scheduled appearance, twenty years after Victor first fell to it. {{Ash}} and his friends watched from the beach as Victor, with Puka on his surfboard, successfully rode the big wave and planted a flag atop the rock, right next to where Jan first placed his flag forty years earlier. Puka and Victor returned to shore to be greeted by Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}, as well as by young children looking up to Victor in awe. In a similar fashion to what his hero did after riding the big wave, Victor encouraged two young surfers and gifted them Jan's surfboard.

==Personality and characteristics==
Puka has gotten along with Victor very well ever since the time they first met.

==Trivia==
* Puka's English name comes from {{wp|Puka shell}}s, which are pieces of a shell belonging to a snail. They are used to make jewelry, and are very popular in Hawaii. "Puka" is also somewhat similar to "Pika", as in "Pikachu".
* Puka's Japanese name, along with Victor's Japanese name (Vincent) and Jan's name, are a reference to Hollywood actor {{wp|Jan-Michael Vincent}}, the lead actor of the movie {{wp|Big Wednesday}}, from which their episode takes inspiration from.
* Puka might be based on the [[Pikachu's Beach|minigame of the Surfing Pikachu]], located in [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] in {{rt|19|Kanto}}, near [[Seafoam Islands]].
* The [[regional form|Alolan form]] of [[Raichu]] introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] - released 18 years after ''The Pi-Kahuna'' aired - shares several qualities with Puka, most notably his impressive surfing abilities and distinctive blue eyes.

'''Cheryl''' (Japanese: '''モミ''' ''Momi'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Sinnoh]]. She specializes in Pokémon with high {{stat|HP}}.

==In the core series==
Cheryl is one of [[Stat Trainers|five Trainers]] who can join with the main character during an event in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Later, she can join the player in competition at Sinnoh's {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}}. She first appears in [[Eterna Forest]]. She asks the player to join her because she's afraid she might run into [[Team Galactic]]. Her Chansey is good at using restoration techniques like {{m|Refresh}} and {{m|Softboiled}}, but it is not good at offense. When traveling with the player, she also heals his/her Pokémon completely after each battle.

In {{v2|Platinum}}, she will also give the player a [[Soothe Bell]] at the end of the Eterna Forest.

[[File:Cheryl anime.png|thumb|250px|Cheryl in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Cheryl is an amateur treasure hunter who has been inspired by her grandfather's own adventures. She decided her first mission was to locate the rumored [[Amber Castle]] and collect a sample of its Enchanted Honey.

Cheryl first appeared in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were traveling through the [[Eterna Forest]] when [[Ash's Aipom]] ran ahead after catching a smell of [[Honey]]. This also attracted Cheryl's main target, a male Burmy, which she explained would be useful once he evolved into a Mothim to find the [[Amber Castle]] and its legendary Enchanted Honey. The group then decided to help Cheryl with her quest, first starting off with some special training to help Burmy evolve. After hearing about the Enchanted Honey, {{TRT}} went on to steal Burmy for themselves. Cheryl and the others confronted the evil trio, during which Burmy evolved into a Mothim and sent Team Rocket blasting off.

In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]'', Cheryl's Enchanted Honey quest was going nowhere as Mothim was attracted to Honey slathered on the tree from earlier. The search was temporarily sidelined after the group encountered [[Gardenia]], who later agreed to help them locate the Amber Castle. They later come across large [[Pomeg Berry]] flowers and eventually several {{p|Combee}} walls, finally arriving at the Amber Castle within a hidden cave system in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]''.

Cheryl asked {{p|Vespiquen}}, who is the queen of the Castle, for some Enchanted Honey, however her request was declined. The Combee were about to attack, but Team Rocket gatecrashed the Castle and the unfolding {{pkmn|battle}} almost destroyed the Amber Castle. But with everyone's help, they patched it back together. In gratitude, Vespiquen filled up Cheryl's jar with the Enchanted Honey from the castle, and Cheryl graciously accepted it, and let everyone have a taste. Finally getting out of the Castle, she spotted a {{p|Beedrill}}, a sign she should travel alone, so she said goodbye to everyone as she ran after it.

====Character====
Cheryl is a sweet young lady with big ambitions. She thinks highly of her grandfather, and was always quoting advice he gave her as a child to guide her through life; she was also shown to be a bit ditzy sometimes. Cheryl, however, proved highly resourceful and had gained a lot of life experience during her first treasure hunting quest. She was shy in her [[DP030|debut appearance]], though she was far bolder and handled tough situations like the angry {{p|Combee}} by ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]''.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Cheryl PG.png|thumb|250px|Cheryl in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Cheryl appeared in ''[[PG10|The Old Chateau]]'', in which she and her {{p|Chansey}} were wandering through [[Eterna Forest]], looking for a place to rest for the night. She eventually came across the [[Old Chateau]], where she was welcomed by a butler, who invited her to spend the night there. Cheryl and Chansey were then brought to the dining hall, where the two began eating, not realizing that their plates were empty. Afterwards, Cheryl was escorted by the butler to her room, but she soon noticed they were walking in circles. She then witnessed the butler dissolving through the floor and was caught by a cloud of purple smoke, which took the shape of a {{p|Haunter}}. Cheryl and Chansey then woke up, finding the chateau in an old and abandoned state. After finding a note, Cheryl was attacked by the {{OBP|ghost|literal}} of a little girl.

==In the manga==
[[File:Cheryl PDP.png|thumb|120px|left|Cheryl in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}]]
===Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl===
Cheryl makes an appearance in [[PDP05]]. After an avalanche, she is trapped in a cave with {{an|Dawn}} and some {{p|Cherrim}}. Eventually, they are rescued by {{Ash}} and some {{p|Aipom}} he befriended.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cheryl Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Cheryl in Pokémon Adventures]]
Cheryl appears in the [[Battleground]], where she is battling [[Mira]]. The result of the battle was unseen and unknown. Later, after Buck and {{adv|Looker}} are sent to the hospital after escaping from [[Team Galactic]] on [[Stark Mountain]], Cheryl is seen trying to comfort a crying Mira next to Buck's hospital bed.

Later, Cheryl and Mira manage to convince Palmer to let them join him, Platinum, and Riley on their trip to the Distortion World. After traveling far enough, they arrive at the [[Spring Path]], but find that Marley has been captured by the [[Advanced level Grunt]]. However, the Grunt reveals that he does not want to fight and has escaped from Team Galactic. Platinum forces him to take them to where the Distortion World is and they enter it, but get separated upon arriving due to the dimension's strange gravity.

There, Mira finds [[Charon]], the man that defeated Buck, and tries to stop him from escaping but is stopped by [[Jupiter]] and the other Galactic {{tc|Commander}}s. Cheryl faces [[Mars]] and her {{p|Yanmega}}, while Marley and Mira fight Jupiter and [[Saturn]], respectively. During the battle, the two seem evenly matched, and they constantly stop each other's strategies.

The battle never reaches a conclusion, as Giratina flies past them to confront the other legendary Pokémon in the area. After Charon is defeated, Cheryl, along with Mira and Buck, goes to take Heatran back to its home on Stark Mountain.

==In the TCG==
[[File:CherylBattleStyles159.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Cheryl]]
{{main|Cheryl (Battle Styles 123)}}
'''Cheryl''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Rapid Strike Master}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Battle Styles}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the Japanese {{TCG|Single Strike Master}} expansion and the same English expansion, with artwork by [[Yuu Nishida]]. It allows the player to heal all damage from any Evolution Pokémon, then discard all Energy from them.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Cheryl is the only Double Battle partner the player must team up with to advance through the game. She is also the set default. This means that if a player uses a walk-through-walls [[cheating|cheat]] to go through the places where the other [[stat Trainers]] should be for the first time, Cheryl will be there as the partner.
* Near the entrance inside Eterna Forest, there is a walking [[non-player character|NPC]] with the appearance of a [[Bug Catcher]] who can "walk through" Cheryl. If the player turns around and talks to her while this is happening, Cheryl will still respond.
* All of Cheryl's Pokémon fought in the [[Battleground]] give out only HP EVs.
* Cheryl is the only stat trainer never to be encountered in a [[cave]].
* Despite specializing in the HP Stat, some of her battle tower Pokemon, like [[Porygon-Z]] have a highest stat that is not HP.

==Trivia==
* Though Red is depicted mostly as silent in Pokémon Masters EX, he speaks a single line in his Sync Pair Story: "… … … … … … Words are unnecessary!"
* The color palette of Red's EX Style outfit is likely a reference to Mega Charizard X.

==Blurb==

On their way to Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, Ash and the gang discover a nearby village where a festival is about to occur. Lyra is one of the festival's spokespersons-and a Trainer, to boot. She introduces herself after our heroes find her lost Marill, then she escorts them to the festival. There, they meet a budding young Pokémon Breeder named Khoury, and his father, who runs the festival.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has showed up and stolen food from the festival! When they see Dawn battle and beat Lyra in a special event where Dawn gets a Pokémon Egg as a prize, they steal it, too! But of course Ash will never let them get away with that! Everyone splits up to go looking for Jessie, James, Meowth, and Dawn's Egg. But they won't be easy to find. An angry Ursaring upsets Team Rocket's getaway plan, and Jessie winds up separated from James and Meowth during the chase.

Under the skillful leadership of Lyra, our heroes discover Team Rocket's whereabouts and retrieve the Egg, later to find out it contains a cute-but rather aggressive-baby Cyndaquil. Dawn couldn't be happier, though! Khoury and Lyra ask Khoury's father if they can go with Ash and company to Lilypad Town...and he says yes! So, for now, our heroes have added two new friends, and a baby Cyndaquil, as well!

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walk through a village, both Ash and {{an|Dawn}} complain of hunger. As they look for a place to have lunch, Ash spots a {{p|Marill}} stuck between two buildings. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} struggle to pull it out, but Marill eventually uses {{m|Water Gun}} to force itself out. {{an|Brock}} checks it as Dawn scans with her [[Pokédex]]. A girl runs up and claims the Marill as hers, recalling it to its {{i|Poké Ball}}. She introduces herself as {{an|Lyra}} as Ash and his friends make their introductions. Lyra notices Dawn's Piplup and scans it with her own Pokédex. She reveals that her Pokédex is a brand-new [[Johto]] model, the same region she is from, and that the [[Johto Festival]] is commencing. She calls Dawn {{tt|Dane|Hikarin}} before they set off.

At the center of the village, the festival is in full gear as a phone rings. Lyra pulls out a new type of [[Pokégear]] that Ash doesn't recognize and answers it, talking to her friend [[Khoury]]. She talks about the festival, how it travels throughout other regions to promote Johto. A recording of Lyra hosting a documentary appears on the screen, the documentary talking about Johto's features, touching on [[Ecruteak City]], its [[Burned Tower]] and the [[Kimono Girl]]s, bringing back Ash's memories (and Brock's of the girls) of his previous travels throughout the Johto [[region]]. The presentation continues with [[Goldenrod City]], the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] and its [[Amphy|Ampharos]]. It rounds up with Johto's final [[Gym Leader]] in [[Blackthorn City]], {{type|Dragon}} [[Type expert|specialist]] [[Clair]] of [[Blackthorn Gym]]. The presentation ends with Lyra hoping that the viewer visits the land of Johto soon. Lyra leads them to a [[Moomoo Milk]] stand that her friend Khoury runs. Dawn notices a {{TP|Khoury|Totodile}} behind the counter and scans it. Piplup and Pikachu try to meet, but Totodile doesn't respond to the friend request, about as well as with its [[Pokémon food]] that Khoury made. Brock samples it and says that it is too sweet, asking for [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]]. Brock grinds up some Berries into powder with a {{wp|mortar and pestle}}, then adds it to the food, which makes it more appealing to Totodile and allows it to chow down. As Brock offers to give him a recipe, [[Khoury's father]] offers the group soft serve ice cream made from MooMoo Milk, which they love. Lyra introduces the group to Khoury, a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and his father, the man responsible for running the festival. Ash and Lyra share their experiences throughout [[Sinnoh]] and Johto [[Gym]]s respectively, Ash with seven [[Badge]]s and Lyra with two. Dawn mentions that she is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, the first one Lyra has met in person, as Khoury's Totodile jumps on his shoulder, hinting that the exhibition of the Johto {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is about to start.

While {{TRT}} chows down on food, Lyra starts the exhibition. She discusses the three Johto [[starter Pokémon]] on the screen before bringing out her {{p|Chikorita}}. Lyra calls Dawn up to the field to {{pkmn|battle}} Chikorita with Piplup. The crowd applauds as she accepts, stepping up to the platform. Lyra reveals that if Dawn wins, Lyra will give her a prize. Piplup jumps to battle, even though Chikorita has a [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]]. Khoury's father starts the battle as Chikorita hits with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Piplup rebounds and fires {{m|Bubble Beam}}, but a {{m|Light Screen}} blocks it. Piplup charges with {{m|Peck}} and hits before following up with another Bubble Beam. Another Light Screen blocks it, but it is clearly weaker. Another Peck attack breaks the shield and [[fainting|knocks out]] Chikorita, giving Dawn the win. Khoury was impressed by the strategy as Lyra recalls Chikorita. Lyra presents Dawn with a wrapped box, her prize. Dawn opens it and finds a [[Pokémon Egg]] in an [[Egg case]]. As they wonder what is inside the Egg, Team Rocket suddenly appears in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], packed up with food from the festival. {{MTR}} steals Dawn's Egg with a mecha arm. They proceed to escape, but they run into a tree and puncture their balloon, sending them crashing away from the village in the forest. Ash and his friends pursue, and Lyra does too, but she has to convince Khoury to go too.

At the crash site, [[Jessie]] eats almost all the food (causing her belly to become swollen, in true anime fashion) as they turn to the Egg. [[James]] theorizes that it holds a [[legendary Pokémon]], each one coming up with an idea. A {{p|Teddiursa}} sneaks up and starts eating their food. Jessie scolds it and makes it cry, causing its parent {{p|Ursaring}} to attack them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Team Rocket runs away with the Ursaring in hot pursuit.

Ash and his friends find the deserted crash site as Lyra tries to motivate Khoury to be more brave. The guys and the girls split off to search as Ash sends {{AP|Staraptor}} to scout. Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues to run. Jessie trips and loses the Egg. James and Meowth go after it while Jessie flees from Ursaring. Meowth and James reclaim it and try to meet up with Jessie. Ash and the guys spot James and follow. As James walks, he notices the Egg flashing, indicating it is close to hatching. Staraptor has also spotted James, and Khoury phones Lyra to coordinate a meet. Using Marill and Totodile's Water Gun attacks, they are able to pursue James. When the guys catch up with James, the girls cut him off. Surrounded, James sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. Khoury proceeds to check Carnivine with his Pokédex at a bad moment. Carnivine fires {{m|Bullet Seed}} to suppress the guys, but Totodile sneaks up and takes the Egg back. Pikachu and Piplup attack with {{m|Thunderbolt}} ad Bubble Beam before a twin Water Gun attack from Marill and Totodile sends James and Meowth off. Dawn reclaims her Egg and notes it is close to hatching.

James and Meowth land and meet up with Jessie (whose stomach has instantly reverted to normal, also in true anime fashion), when they are then surrounded by many Ursaring. Back at the village, Lyra convinces Khoury's father to allow her to go attend the upcoming [[Lilypad Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], while Khoury wants to learn from Brock. He agrees to let Lyra and Khoury go with Ash and his friends for a while. Dawn's Egg fully glows as she brings it out of the case, revealing her new {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Dawn picks up Cyndaquil, as it shows affection by lighting its back fire, torching Dawn's hair. Everyone laughs as they decide to travel together.

==Trivia==
[[File:Clair and Dragonair.png|thumb|250px|Clair in her new clothes]]
* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]] takes a seven-episode hiatus beginning with this episode.
* This is the first episode of the five-part mini-arc involving {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]].
* This and [[DP144|the following episode]] are the first episodes to air in Japan after the earliest releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in Japan and {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}.
* Lyra's [[Johto]] introduction shows [[Clair]] in her [[Generation IV]] outfit, her original outfit having debuted in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This new outfit will also be seen when Clair reappears in person in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''.
* This is the first time that a main character receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} that hatches in the same episode.
* The episode shows many of the new [[List of Key Items in Generation IV|Key Items]] within {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. At their stall, Khoury and his father are selling items such as [[Apricorn]]s, [[Apricorn Box]]es, [[Berry Pots]], [[Rage Candy Bar]]s, and [[Apriblender]]s.
* In the Japanese version, {{an|Lyra}} calls {{an|Dawn}} "Hikarin", much like how [[Marilyn]] did in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]''. However, in the English [[dub]], Lyra calls Dawn "Dane", while Marilyn had called her "Dawny."
* The move {{m|Water Gun}} is rendered in CGI starting with this episode.
* In this episode, {{TRT}} uses a variation of their {{motto}}.
** In one verse, Jessie states "Go ahead and ask me if I've got milk!", likely a reference to the famous {{wp|Got Milk?}} advertising campaign.
* This is one of the few episodes where one of Team Rocket members doesn't blast off. Only [[James]] and {{MTR}} blast off in this episode.
* The three Pokémon that Team Rocket said could be in the Egg are the stars of the [[M02|second]], [[M03|third]], and [[M04|fourth]] movies.
* Music from ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' is used.
* This marks the third time a main character obtains a Pokémon that Ash already owns. The first and second were {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

===Errors===
* In the English version, when Team Rocket eats the stolen food in their balloon, their Japanese voices can be heard.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, while he is talking about Totodile's Pokémon food, Brock says that it isn't bitter enough. In the English dub, he says that it is too sweet.

Blaze (Ability)

Bagel-chan: since the appearance of ash's chimchar/'s blaze changes drastically from chim-charred onwards and that version is carried over as he evolves i changed the description to reflect it

'''Blaze''' (Japanese: '''もうか''' ''Raging Flames'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. All Fire-type [[starter Pokémon]] have this Ability.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations III to IV====
When a Pokémon with Blaze uses a {{type|Fire}} [[move]], the move's [[power]] will be increased by 50% if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.

====Generations V onward====
Instead of boosting Fire-type moves' power, Blaze now technically boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Special Attack}} by 50% during damage calculation if a Fire-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same effect.

===Outside of battle===
Blaze has no effect outside of battle.

'''Kenny's Empoleon''' (Japanese: '''ケンゴのエンペルト''' ''Kengo's Emperte'') is {{si|Kenny}}'s [[starter Pokémon]].

==History==
Empoleon was first seen as a {{p|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]''. It proved to be very strong when it battled [[Ash's Pikachu]] despite Pikachu having the [[type]] disadvantage. In [[DP027|the next episode]], it put up a good fight against [[Dawn's Piplup]]. At first, Prinplup didn't want to be friends with its weaker, pre-evolved form, but after being saved by Piplup, they soon became friends.

Prinplup appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''. It then made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' during [[Marian]]'s [[television]] show, in which it was revealed to have helped Kenny win the [[Sage Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], earning Kenny his second [[Ribbon]].
[[File:Kenny Prinplup.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Prinplup]]
Prinplup briefly appeared in the beginning of ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' with Kenny. In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Prinplup helped Kenny get to the final round of the [[Solaceon Town]] Contest, but eventually lost to [[Jessie's Dustox]].

Prinplup made a cameo with Kenny on television in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', where it was revealed to have helped him earned his third Ribbon.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', Prinplup appeared alongside [[Barry's Empoleon]] and Dawn's Piplup. As it tried to help search for Piplup, who had run away while trying to resist [[evolution]], Prinplup and Barry's Empoleon were kidnapped by {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|Piprinoleon robot]]. Prinplup was recovered through Dawn and Piplup's teamwork.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', Prinplup was used in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the {{to|Sandalstraw}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. It managed to defeat its first two opponents to reach the finals, where it went up against [[Dawn's Ambipom]]. Prinplup started the battle by using {{m|Drill Peck}}, but Ambipom blocked the attack with {{m|Swift}} and then used {{m|Double Team}}. After that, Prinplup used {{m|Bubble Beam}} to destroy the illusory copies Ambipom had created. However, before the attack could hit the real Ambipom, Dawn had the idea to implement ping pong moves into the battle and asked Ambipom to use {{m|Focus Punch}}, sending the bubbles back to Prinplup.

Seeing that, Kenny asked Prinplup to repel the bubbles with {{m|Metal Claw}}. The bubbles went back and forth for a while until Prinplup used Bubble Beam again. This time, instead of repelling the bubbles, Ambipom used Double Hit to destroy them. With the bubbles keeping Ambipom busy, Prinplup approached her with Drill Peck, but Ambipom saw Prinplup coming and countered with Focus Punch. The two clashed in midair but Prinplup quickly recovered, jumping high and then using Drill Peck while nosediving and spinning. Ambipom proceeded to use Double Hit, but the move was unable to stop Prinplup. Ambipom was taken aback by this and Prinplup attacked her with another Drill Peck, knocking her out and winning the battle. This victory gave Kenny the Sandalstraw Ribbon, his fourth Contest Ribbon overall.

[[File:Kenny and Empoleon.png|thumb|250px|Empoleon and Kenny]]
Between helping Kenny win the Sandalstraw Ribbon and Kenny's participation in the [[Grand Festival]], Prinplup evolved into {{p|Empoleon}} and learned two new [[move]]s: {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', Kenny used Empoleon alongside his {{p|Floatzel}} in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. However during an attempt to create a Flash Cannon-{{m|Whirlpool}} [[Contest combination|combination]], Empoleon accidentally knocked Floatzel out, its Flash Cannon being too powerful for Floatzel to handle. As a result of this mistake, Kenny failed to make it past the first round.

In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', Kenny used Empoleon in a battle against [[Ash's Buizel]], in which it was able to defeat Buizel. It also seemed to have developed a rivalry with Buizel following its win.

==Personality and characteristics==
Natural of its species, Empoleon is always very proud and doesn't give others respect until they have, in its eyes, 'proved themselves worthy'. This was seen both when it met [[Dawn's Piplup]] for the first time and when it was pitted against [[Ash's Buizel]]. Like Buizel, Empoleon can be quite headstrong, developing their short-lived rivalry over a trivial issue, after Buizel's {{m|Sonic Boom}} attack nearly hit its target. Kenny has utilized Empoleon's prideful personality into making effective {{pkmn|Contest}} performances.

==Blurb==

Ash's Battle Factory victory has him eager to reach the next Battle Frontier stop right away, but even he has to stop for food and water. Munchlax takes care of the Pokémon food by eating it all, which sets off a squabble that disturbs the local Geodude. The Geodude chase Ash and May's Pokémon, and some of them are separated in the commotion. Ash and May have to find their missing Pokémon!

An Onix leads the Rock-type Pokémon that live in the area, and they're none too happy about the intruders. Team Rocket sees this and convinces Onix that Ash and his friends are up to no good. Phanpy and Squirtle reunite with Pikachu, Corphish, and then Munchlax, but they're captured by Rock Pokémon working with Team Rocket. Elsewhere, Brock is captured as well!

Ash finds Onix and Team Rocket, but now all his friends and their Pokémon have been snagged! Ash tries to tell Onix that he's not a villain, and Onix decides that they'll battle. If Ash wins, his friends go free. If Ash loses... well, he'd better win! Ash choses Grovyle, who has a type advantage against Onix, and wins the round.

Team Rocket tries plan B: steal all the Pokémon outright. But Ash tells Grovyle to defend Onix against their attack, and it's clear now who the good guys are. May and the others are freed, and together everyone protects the wild Pokémon from Team Rocket. Once the villains are sent flying, Onix makes amends by giving our heroes an escorted ride out of its valley.

==Plot==
On his way to the [[Battle Arena]], {{Ash}} admires the Knowledge [[Symbol]] he received as an award for his victory over [[Noland]]. When the water canteen becomes empty, {{an|Brock}} suggests they go search for water while [[Max]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} look after the Pokémon while he is gone. {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} leads Brock and the others to a lake. Meanwhile, after serving all the Pokémon some food, Max decides to take a nap. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} greedily eats everyone's [[Pokémon food]], instantly stirring tensions. {{AP|Corphish}} tries to attack Munchlax with {{m|Bubble Beam}}, but it misses and hits {{TP|May|Squirtle}} instead. Squirtle uses {{m|Bubble}} which hits Corphish. {{AP|Pikachu}} tries in vain to wake Max up while Squirtle and Corphish exchange attacks, unintentionally disturbing a group of {{p|Geodude}}. The angry Geodude surround the Pokémon, sending Munchlax flying as well as chasing off Pikachu and Corphish. Max rushes over to check what is going on and notices that Munchlax, Corphish, and Pikachu are gone. Ash and his friends return as Max tells them that some of the Pokémon are missing. They decide that they should look for the Pokémon with Mudkip coming along while Brock stays back to look after the remaining Pokémon just in case the others return.

Meanwhile, the angry Geodude go to their clan, consisting of multiple {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Golem}}, and headed by a single {{p|Onix}}, to report the confrontation. {{TRT}} overhears the conversation, and {{MTR}} to translate, they realize the described troublesome Pokémon must be owned by the [[twerp]]s. The trio quickly put a plan into motion, hoping to use the {{t|Rock}} Pokémon to help them capture Pikachu and the others. [[Jessie]] and her teammates convince Onix that Ash and his friends are evil, so it orders its fellow Rock types to get rid of the unwanted threats.

In a flower field, Squirtle is smelling flowers and admiring a large one when a {{p|Beedrill}} pops out and begins to attack. {{AP|Phanpy}} uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to send Beedrill away. Squirtle returns to picking flowers until a swarm of Beedrill chase after them. Phanpy puts Squirtle on its back and runs away in fear. To their surprise, they run into Pikachu and Corphish, but keep running away. Pikachu and Corphish see the swarm of Beedrill fast approaching and use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Bubble Beam to send them away.

Brock starts to get frustrated with everyone taking so long and thinks he should go look for them. A group of Geodude appear and surround him before a locked cage lands on him. Pikachu, Corphish, Squirtle, and Phanpy continue searching for everyone and find Munchlax eating apples in a tree. Geodude and Golem appear and use Rollout to chase them. The Pokémon jump on a log that is in a river and use it to avoid the Rock Pokémon since they hate water. They hit a rock and fall into the water and down the waterfall. Back on land, they end up surrounded by Graveler and Golem and are trapped in a cage as well. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Corphish uses Bubble Beam to try to break the cage, but they fail. The captives, Brock and the previously missing Pokémon, remain caged up and surrounded by the Rock Pokémon.

At the bottom of the cliff, Mudkip alerts Ash and his friends to something beyond a cliff. As Ash climbs the cliff, he sees Brock and some of the Pokémon are caged up. As he turns to alert May and Max to the situation, he sees that Team Rocket have now caught them. Team Rocket recites their {{motto}} to their truly captive audience and everyone realizes that the Rock Pokémon for some reason are working for the trio. Meowth says that they've waited a long time to capture Pikachu and finally have. Team Rocket thanks Onix for capturing the twerps and the Pokémon, requesting that they keep them from ever harming Pokémon again. Ash steps in hoping to convince Onix that he would never hurt the Rock Pokémon and that Team Rocket are the ones trying to steal all of the Pokémon. Onix doesn't know who to believe and Meowth translates that Ash must defeat it in a battle to prove that he has to be telling the truth. Team Rocket realize their ploy may quickly be undone as Ash brings out {{AP|Grovyle}} to battle Onix. Brock warns that Ash must be careful since Onix is at a high level, despite being at a great disadvantage against a {{type|Grass}}.

Onix uses {{m|Slam}}, but Grovyle dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, hurting itself against Onix's hard body. Onix knocks Grovyle into the surrounding cliffs. Grovyle lands a hit with {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Onix tries to use {{m|Bind}}, but Grovyle avoids it. Grovyle uses Bullet Seed again but this time at Onix's head, causing major damage. Grovyle then finishes it off with {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Team Rocket panics and thinks that they should just grab Pikachu and run for it. Though Meowth suggests they should also take the powerful Onix with them, so the trio deploy their [[Team Rocket's mechas|latest mecha]]. They hurl a giant boulder toward Onix, though Grovyle uses Leaf Blade to reduce the rock to rubble. Onix finally realizes where Team Rocket's loyalties lie, and it orders its fellow Rock Pokémon to break the cages and to protect Ash and his friends from harm. Team Rocket douses the Rock Pokémon with water from the mecha's water cannons, knocking them all out. They use the robot's arms to grab Pikachu and Onix while trying to make their getaway, but the Rock Pokémon are holding them back. Mudkip uses {{m|Water Gun}}, Corphish uses Bubble Beam, and Squirtle uses Bubble to break the arms of the robot. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Onix uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. As thanks for helping the Rock Pokémon fight Team Rocket and perhaps an apology as well, Onix gives Ash and his friends a ride on its back as it transports them towards the Battle Arena.

* Before [[James]] is shown and right after Pikachu and the others are caught, the {{p|Graveler}} and the {{p|Golem}} were shown as Geodude.
* When {{an|Brock}}, Pikachu, and some other Pokémon were taken to the leader Onix in the cages, a Graveler appears to be next to Pikachu in the cage.
* The cages are not supposed to have floor in order to capture people and Pokémon from the air, but they do.
* In the Brazilian dub, {{an|May}} incorrectly says that {{p|Grovyle}} is a {{t|Ground}} type. The same mistake occurred earlier in ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]''.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, a belching sound effect is added when Munchlax finishes eating all of the food.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which Pokémon would be most affected by {{M|Earthquake}}?
* Choices: {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Flygon}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Whiscash}}, you were right!

Turnback Cave

'''Turnback Cave''' (Japanese: '''もどりのどうくつ''' ''Returning Cave'') is a maze-like cave filled with dense [[fog]] which is home to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Giratina}}. Turnback Cave is located at the north-central region of [[Sendoff Spring]], which itself may only be accessed through the [[Spring Path]].

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, there is an inscription in the pillar in the room Giratina resides in that implies the cave is a location where the separation between the real world and the [[Distortion World]] is weaker. In {{game|Platinum}}, a portal to the Distortion World appears in front of the pillar. The inscription reads:
:''This is... That where life sparkles... That where life has faded... A place where two worlds overlap...''

==Geography==
===Rooms and pillars===
[[File:Turnback Cave Pillar Room DPPt.png|thumb|256px|right|A pillar]]
When a {{player}} exits a room, the next will be randomly chosen from a selection of possible rooms. If the player walks out the door through which they entered a room, they will return to the entrance room; from the entrance room, the player can exit to [[Sendoff Spring]]. If the player navigates 30 rooms without finding the third pillar, the next door returns them to the entrance room. [[Escape Rope]]s and {{m|Dig}} cannot be used to escape. The inscription in the pillar at the entrance room reads:
: ''...Past three pillars...to the sleeping... ...before 30 is surpassed...''

After the player has found three pillar rooms, the next room will be Giratina's room. In Pokémon Platinum, Giratina will only be in this room if the player did not catch it in the [[Distortion World]]. If Giratina is not present, there will be an item each time it is reached, with the item depending on the number of rooms the player navigated to reach it: a [[Reaper Cloth]] if they reach it in 3 rooms, a [[Rare Bone]] if they reach it in 4 to 15, and a [[Stardust]] if they reach it in 16 to 30. In {{game|Platinum}}, after catching Giratina, there will also be a portal to the [[Distortion World]], where the player can obtain the [[Griseous Orb]].

When the player reaches a pillar and examines it two numbers will appear: the top number indicates which pillar the player is looking at, and the bottom indicates how many rooms the player passed through on the way to it.

==Items==
Before being able to obtain the item at the end of the cave, the player must first catch or defeat Giratina. In {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeated Giratina in the [[Distortion World]], they must defeat or catch it here and traverse through the cave again in order to be able to obtain items here.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Platinum}}, {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] entered the [[Distortion World]] through the cave. They were later followed by {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Palmer]], [[Cheryl]], [[Riley]], [[Mira]], [[Marley]], and the [[Advanced level Grunt]]. After leading the group to the portal, the Grunt was about to head out, but he was stopped by Platinum, who voiced her distrust towards him. She, however, promised to protect him from [[Team Galactic]], to which the Grunt agreed and led them through the portal.

==Trivia==
* Turnback Cave is similar to locations in [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]].
** In Kanto, [[Cerulean Cave]] can only be visited after defeating the [[Elite Four]] (Generation I) or obtaining the National Pokédex (Generations III and IV), and is home to high-level [[wild Pokémon]] and a {{p|Mewtwo|level 70 Legendary Pokémon}}.
** In Hoenn, the [[Sky Pillar]] is home to high level Pokémon and a {{p|Rayquaza|level 70 Legendary Pokémon}}, and in the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version]] it can be visited before entering the [[Hall of Fame]].
* Turnback Cave's system of seemingly random room layout may be an advanced version of the system used in [[Lost Cave]] in the [[Sevii Islands]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Turnback Cave and the Distortion World may draw some inspiration from the Japanese underworld, {{wp|Yomi}}. Giratina itself can be seen as a parallel to the kami {{wp|Izanami}}.
* Turnback Cave shares its music with that of the [[Old Chateau]]. However, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} the version of the track used in Turnback Cave and the surrounding areas is noticeably lacking certain soundfonts. Interestingly, this variation is not recognized as a separate track in the game's audio files and the normal variation of the track is used in {{game|Platinum}}, suggesting the difference between the versions was unintentional.

Brine Cave

Bagel-chan: /* Items */ fixed the links on all the scarf/ribbon items so they now lead to the mystery dungeon scarf page (instead of the main series scarf page)

'''Brine Cave''' (Japanese: '''いそのどうくつ''' ''Beach Cave'') is a dungeon in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. It is unlocked after the player talks to {{mdc|Torkoal|2}} when he visits the guild, the player's partner shows him the [[Relic Fragment]]'s pattern, and {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} reveal the location of the pattern. On the first visit, Chatot will accompany the player. It has 15 floors total, with a rest stop between the ninth floor and the first floor of Lower Brine Cave. At that point, Chatot will chase after {{mdc|Team Skull}}, leaving the player and partner behind. The boss Pokémon are two {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}}, who terrorized Wigglytuff and Chatot in the past. Earlier in the game {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} is seen talking to {{mdc|Lapras|2}} about letting the player travel to the [[Hidden Land]].

Brine Cave made a brief appearance in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', where [[Team Poképals]] and {{OBP|Grovyle|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} were shown finding the pattern at the end of the dungeon, which reacted with {{p|Chimchar}}'s Relic Fragment and summoned Lapras, ready to take them to the Hidden Land.
