==Blurb==

In the middle of a terrible desert, our heroes inadvertently wandered into Dark City. With no name but Dark, the city has fallen into ruin. The streets, even at midday, are vacant of people. But suddenly, a rare figure appears and begins to throw stones at Ash and friends. They had heard at a restaurant in town, that this town contains two authorized Pokémon gyms, but that their Masters try to battle traveling Pokémon trainers anywhere within the town. This is said to be the cause of the town's desolation. Will our heroes also be caught up in the whirlwind of these battles?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Dark City]], a place where it appears to be a ghost town, much to {{an|Brock}}'s dismay. They are even more curious to see a parent herding their child off for fear of [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the area. As Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Brock ponder why that is, {{AP|Pikachu}} is hit by a rock thrown from the roof of a nearby building. When Ash tells Pikachu to retaliate using a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, they hit three kids on the rooftop. When they go apologize to them, however, they get a cold shoulder treatment, as the kids want the group out of the town. The kids, however, are stopped by a local restaurant owner, who invites them to his restaurant.

At the restaurant, while eating lunch (Pikachu, in particular, taking a liking to eating ketchup from the bottle), the restaurant owner explains to Ash and his friends, as well as a mysterious patron who had happened to overhear, that Dark City has two rival [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], the Yas Gym and the Kaz Gym. Both Gyms seek official status, but to do so they would need the approval of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]], who is scheduled to arrive at any moment. As there could be only one official Gym per city, each Gym seeks to eliminate the other before the inspector arrives. The restaurant owner further explains that Pokémon Trainers who have neared Dark City are recruited for the cause of either Gym. At that moment, fighting between the two Gyms breaks out. As Ash, Misty, and Brock watch from the safety of the restaurant, the three note that the fighting is not as much of a [[Pokémon battle]] as it was a gang war. The Yas Gym's {{p|Scyther}} and the Kaz Gym's {{p|Electabuzz}} in particular are dispatching the men of the opposing Gym with ease.

At that point, the safety of the restaurant is shattered when {{TRT}}, hired by the Kaz Gym as elite bodyguards, invades the restaurant in disguise and demand food. When they send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to deal with the restaurant owner when he refuses (because of the Kaz Gym having run up a large tab), Ash (with Pikachu) and Misty (with {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}) attempt to intercept Team Rocket, but are beaten by Brock, whose {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} quickly forces Team Rocket out of the restaurant with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Vulpix has now garnered the attention of a female Yas Gym recruiter, who tries to recruit Ash and company for their cause. At the advice of Misty (who claims that taking sides would ruin their reputations as Trainers), Ash introduces himself as Tom Ato, Misty as Ann Chovy, and Brock as Caesar Salad, who, because Brock could never say no to a beautiful girl, takes them to the Yas Gym.

The Yas Leader is introduced to "Tom" and his two "disciples", who proceeds to judge how powerful he is by suddenly releasing his Scyther to attack Pikachu. The Scyther's {{m|Cut}} attack, however, is blocked by Pikachu's ketchup bottle. This resulted in Scyther getting squirted in the eyes with ketchup, blinding it and making it attack its own Trainer. Surprised, the Yas Leader recalls Scyther and asks Ash to join him. When asked why the Yas Gym wanted to be an official Gym, the Yas Leader responds that it is simply a means to earn money quickly, as with official Gym status comes prestige and funding. Because Ash does not see this as a worthy cause, he declines. However, the Yas Leader, mad at Ash for refusing, orders his underlings to physically beat him up (making him unable to help anyone else), and they do so by sending out a {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Mankey}} to do so. Ash, aided by Misty and Brock, proceed to make a hasty retreat. Back at the restaurant, Misty is curious as to why he was able to escape the Yas Gym so quickly - and uncovers the answer from Ash's [[Pokédex]]: Scyther and Electabuzz are color-sensitive, and the color red in particular will send the two into an outrage. Knowing this, Ash and company devise a plan to stop the fighting once and for all by defeating both the Yas and Kaz forces in one fell swoop.

Once again, fighting breaks out on the streets of Dark City between the Yas and Kaz forces. Scyther, using a {{m|Swords Dance}} boosted {{m|Cut}}, manages to destroy Kaz forces and city buildings with ease, while Electabuzz and {{m|ThunderPunch}} manages to do the same against the Yas forces. When Ash sees an opening, he tells Misty, Brock, the restaurant owner, and the kids to dump tomato juice (stored in barrels on the roofs of various buildings) on all the Trainers, soaking them. This makes Scyther and Electabuzz go into a rage, and they begin to attack their own Trainers. Yas and Kaz, the two leaders, are at Ash's mercy, and Ash decides to end this by having {{AP|Bulbasaur}} {{m|Vine Whip}} two barrels of tomato juice on Scyther and Electabuzz, soaking both. When the two turn to attack each other (due to the rage), they run into each other, knocking the two out.

When Ash asks whether the two Leaders have learned their lesson and resolved their differences, the two leaders finally agree... to team up and deal with Ash. In response, Ash orders Pikachu to unleash {{m|Thunder}}, shocking both sides. Before any more damage can be done, however, the mysterious patron appears. The patron reveals herself to be [[Nurse Joy]], the Pokémon League inspector (and Brock blushes once again upon seeing her), and tells everyone that neither Yas nor Kaz deserved to be an official Gym because street fighting would not be tolerated. However, Nurse Joy allows the two Leaders a second chance, and tells the two that Ash would make a fine tutor with regards to how to be a proper Pokémon Trainer and how to start over as one united Gym, but even "Tom Ato" is at a loss of words with regards to how to be one. However, Ash does manage to tell the two Leaders to repair all the damage to the city that they had caused.

As Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu leave Dark City, they are met again by the kids from in town. They had quickly became fans of Pikachu and, because of such, decide to become Pokémon Trainers themselves. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, having been covered in juice just as a building falls on them during the battle, are run out of town by Scyther and Electabuzz in their red-induced rage.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikachu Ketchup.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu crying over a broken ketchup bottle.]]
* Ash and his friends decide to use fake names for sake of safety. Since they are in a restaurant, they use food as inspiration for their false names: Ash uses the name Tom Ato, derived from {{wp|tomato}}; Misty uses the name Ann Chovy, derived from {{wp|anchovy}}; and Brock uses the name {{wp|Caesar salad|Caesar Salad}}. In the Japanese version, they use names derived from ketchup, chicken rice, and curry rice respectively.
* Pikachu reveals his fondness for ketchup. The next time he does so is in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', 234 episodes later.
* This episode reveals Electabuzz and Scyther's apparent dislike towards the color red.
** This is rather ironic for Scyther as it turns red when it evolves. (Although {{p|Scizor}} did not exist at the time of this episode).
* The story of this episode is based on the famous 1961 Japanese samurai film ''{{wp|Yojimbo (film)|Yojimbo}}''. In it, a lone samurai warrior (played by {{wp|Toshirō Mifune}}) puts an end to rival gang fighting in a small, desolate town.
* This is the first episode in which an [[HM]] move is used, as [[Yas]]'s Scyther uses {{m|Cut}}.
* This episode may serve as a reference to [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, as the Yas and Kaz Gyms share its more violent battle style. Both sides' Pokémon are shown to attack other Trainers directly, and the two "Gym Leaders" show no apparent qualms in killing each other's Pokémon or severely injuring each other.

===Errors===
* During one of the ketchup scenes, Pikachu's red cheeks were missing.
* Shortly after Nurse Joy reveals herself as the Pokémon League Inspector, the two Gym Leaders are no longer drenched in ketchup.
* In one scene, the "z's" on Ash's cheeks are missing.

===Dub edits===
* During the Ketchup scene, Pikachu was voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]] because the lines are muffled by the human conversation.

==Edit warring==
When a user reverts your edit, '''do not''' just simply add it back, especially when a {{bp|staff}} member reverts your edit. This is considered edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you believe that your edit was not in error, go to the talk page of the article or the talk page of the user who reverted your edit and discuss the reversions there.

Regarding the trivia you added on Nincada's page, it is not notable because it is not unique to Nincada only. Once the trivia point applies to more than one Pokémon, it is not considered notable any more, and should be removed. Regarding Red Genesect using Blaze Kick, it is not an anime error because Genesect can learn Blaze Kick {{DL|Blaze Kick (move)|by event}}.

Additionally, Bulbapedia is a wiki that anyone with an account can edit. You are bound to have some of your edits undone if they are in error. It doesn't matter whether you "don't appreciate" having your edits undone; edits should be done for the good of the wiki and not for a single user's personal satisfaction. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:30, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
:You're not an admin so don't tell me what to do also it's my trivia my rules {{unsigned|Barger}}

== Blocked ==

For your insubordination and blatant refusal to follow staff direction, you have been blocked for one day. If you continue your unacceptable behavior after returning, you will be blocked for longer. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:03, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
:whatever it is you did don't ever do it again understood?{{unsigned|Barger}}
::Um, excuse me? Carmenstar and glik are both {{bp|Staff}} members on this site and are in fact administrators, so they have every right to issue warnings and blocks. And please drop the attitude, you are not special and hold no authority to tell those two what to do. You are expected to follow the rules and policies, so failure to do show some respect will have consequences. So drop your snotty attitude.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
You give me an attitude undo my edit and then block me and you expect me to drop MY attitude?! You've a lot of nerve. Besides I see lots of trivia here like mine here and on ssbwiki and when there's 700 Pokemon 2 is fine. I'm putting the trivia back and I'm not taking no for an answer so unless you care to apOlogize I don't ever want to speak to you again. Got it? {{unsigned|Barger}}
:Due to continued edit warring and continued insubordination, you have been blocked for 3 days. Failure to stop your behavior upon your return will result in another, longer block. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:27, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Did you even read my text. {{unsigned|Barger}}
:Due to you failure to listen to the instruction of multiple staff members and continued edit warring, you have been blocked for a period of one month. Failure to cease your behavior or comply with staff direction upon your return will result in a longer block. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:38, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

== Beginner's advice ==

I've noticed you struggling since you first joined a couple days ago. I know you are blocked currently; you really should put a bit of thought into how you speak with people on here; there are thousands of users on here so you won't be able to run the show straight away. If you would like it, I'd be happy to give you a bit of advice, either on my Talk page or on the forums. It'll be a lot more fun once you've got a hang of how this all works. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 20:35, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:Can't post on your talk page but can you get these jerks to leave my edits alone?{{unsigned|Barger}}
::Well l've been here a long time but I'm not an admin so I can't make a case for your edits with the admins. The Nincarda trivia: you could argue forever but an admin's decision is final. The other edits you've been making are, I'm afraid, fundemently wrong. As I said, there are thousands of users here and not all of them will agree with you; that is why we have the admins. If you ever hope to change an admins mind, it will require the most polite and rational about you require the most polite and rational an argument. You won't survive here by edit warring and speaking with people so aggressively. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 21:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Trust me there's one thing I've learned being nice gets you nothing. And if you won't back me up then you can't help me {{unsigned|Barger}}
:And having an arrogant attitude will not earn you respect. If you want to be treated nicely, then you have to be civil when dealing with other users. You are not special nor are you superior. Failure to drop the attitude will lead to a far longer block.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:30, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
MY FAILURE TO LISTEN?1 YOU'RE THE ONE NOT LISTENING TO MY ARGUMENT1. All you do is block me without even reading my arguments! Ther's over 700 Pokemon. If it applies to two, it's trivia. And look at the anime! This is the second episode to blah blah blah several times, and every other wiki I go to allows this exact type of thing. So stop editing my trivia, stop blocking me, and learn to accept that you're wrong! And IGot in?1
== How J could've survived. ==

If it'll get you to stop, I'll tell you 2 ways she could've survived. One way is that she could've had an Abra or something Teleport her out. Another way is to use that thing on her wrist to turn herself into a statue; maybe it would make her immune to the explosion in hopes of being revived somehow at a later date. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Fine, I don't care about that, stop removing my trivia when I'm obviously right!

'''J''' (Japanese: '''Ｊ''' ''J''), frequently referred to as '''Pokémon Hunter J''', is a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] who, with the help of [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], captures and steals {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and sells them as requested by her clients for a profit on the {{wp|black market}}. She first appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]''.

==History==
[[File:J debut.png|thumb|left|200px|J in her debut]]
Sometime before the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, J became a Pokémon hunter, and she stole a {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Relicanth}} and sold them to her clients. She was rewarded a large amount of money. Since then, she was wanted by the [[Officer Jenny]]s in Sinnoh.

J made her official debut in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' where she rode on her {{TP|J|Salamence}} to [[Melodi]]'s flower garden, where she planned to steal Melodi's {{p|Gardevoir}}. Despite Gardevoir attempting to escape with {{m|Teleport}}, J found it using her goggles and hit it with a special beam from a device on her arm that turned it into stone. J then made her exit with Melodi's Gardevoir, and {{Ash}} chased after her, demanding that she return Gardevoir to Melodi. J went after [[Ash's Pikachu]] instead since she thought Pikachu would worth a sizable amount of money. J had her {{p|Drapion}} battle Ash’s Pikachu in an attempt to see his moves. After Pikachu used {{m|Volt Tackle}}, J used her {{p|Ariados}} to bind Ash to a rock and then proceeded to steal Pikachu without any trouble.

After {{TRT}} dealt with [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], J encountered them next. As with her encounter with Ash, J bound the trio to a rock. She turned {{MTR}} into stone for the same reason as Ash's Pikachu. J was then seen by a waterwheel, stealing an {{p|Absol}}. Before the other officers arrived as backup, Ash immediately confronted J, where the Pokémon Hunter took on Officer Jenny’s {{p|Arcanine}} with Salamence and won. J immediately went to her airship with Ash, [[Jessie]] and [[James]], who called a truce with each other to rescue their Pokémon. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into her airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all the others she had stolen, before returning them to their rightful Trainers. Though several of her henchmen had been captured by Officer Jenny, J remained at large.
[[File:J anime.png|thumb|200px|J's appearance in the anime]]
J reappeared in ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', where she was on a mission to steal a group of {{p|Shieldon}}. She was seen contacting her henchmen and [[J's client (DP071)|client]] about the Shieldon. J eventually found the Shieldon with Ash, {{ashfr}}, and {{Gary}}. Ash and Gary had a Double Battle with her, while {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} led the Shieldon to safety. One of the Shieldon fell, however, and J turned it to stone in order to steal it. J attempted to give the petrified Shieldon to her client but Ash and Gary attacked the airbase which prevented her from doing so. Her client cut off the deal to obtain the Shieldon, since Officer Jenny was near. After telling Ash and his friends not to get in her way next time, she told her second-in-command to establish radio contact with their employer, in order to tell him that they would not be doing service with him again.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', J was given the assignment to steal a [[Aura Sphere Riolu|special Riolu]] for her client. One of her henchmen informed J about their encounter with [[Kellyn]], Ash, Dawn, and Brock. Later, J found the group by a lake. After Ash and {{p|Riolu}} separated from the group, J went to a forest. She then proceeded to burn the forest using her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

J continued to do so in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]''. She was able to capture the Riolu, but Ash followed her onto the airship. J soon became aware of Ash's arrival and ordered Drapion to grab him as soon as he confronted her. Although Ash escaped from Drapion's grasp, J quickly ejected him from her ship. J then met up with her client and gave him the {{m|Aura Sphere|special}} Riolu. She left after receiving payment from him, but the Riolu was later rescued from the client, who was then arrested.

Sometime before ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', J was given a request from one of her clients to catch a {{p|Regigigas}} and traveled to the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. After {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} heard the news about the situation in the Snowpoint Temple, J had her henchmen work to prevent the Battle Pyramid from getting closer. Even though he and the group were able to narrowly defeat the henchmen's Pokémon, J already had her Salamence destroy the pillars guarding Regigigas. Despite Brandon and [[Maria]] warning J about not waking up Regigigas, she destroyed the last pillar, forcing Regigigas to awaken. When Regigigas began to rampage, J was able to leave the Snowpoint Temple. She watched as Brandon used [[Brandon's legendary titans|his Pokémon]] to calm Regigigas and then bound the group with {{p|Ariados}}'s String Shot. J went after the Legendary titans during their rampage. She attempted to turn Regigigas to stone but Brandon and his Pokémon jumped in the way to prevent it from happening. Regigigas destroyed J's bracelet and withdrew from the area when her client decided to cancel the deal.
[[File:J glasses sinking.png|200px|thumb|J's glasses shown outside the sinking ship]]
J appeared again in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where she was hired by [[Team Galactic]] to catch {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', she proceeded to carry out the task of capturing them. Gary attempted to stop her from doing so with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] overpowered the two. J then dropped a Galactic Bomb into [[Lake Valor]] to force Azelf into the open. With the help of Team Galactic's {{p|Golbat}}, J was able to catch Azelf. This caused Uxie and Mesprit to appear. although Uxie and Mesprit putting up a good fight and dodging attacks from [[Mars's Purugly]] and [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}}, J captured the two of them as well.

Although she did succeed in capturing the {{an|Lake guardians}}, her ship was hit by two {{m|Future Sight}} attacks used by Uxie and Mesprit directly before she captured them, which, in her overconfidence, she had forgotten. As a result, her ship crashed into [[Lake Valor]] and was sucked into a whirlpool while she and her crew members were still on board. Once the ship was underwater, the protective glass broke and the ship was flooded, causing it to explode. It is currently unknown if J, her Pokémon, or any of her crew survived.


She appeared briefly in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' in {{TRT}}'s fantasy riding her Salamence.

==Character==
[[File:J and Ash.png|thumb|200px|J and Ash]]
J is ruthless, relentless, and cruel, willing to do anything to capture Pokémon for her clients, up to and including injuring innocent people or Pokémon. In her debut episode, she chose to drop some of her {{TP|J|henchmen}} to their potential deaths without hesitation or remorse, emphasizing her intensely independent, sociopathic, greedy and callous nature. She has no honor, decency or regard for any form of life - the only thing that matters to her is money. She is one of the very few characters (including the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] and [[Grings Kodai]]) in the anime who is purely evil.

J is also highly pragmatic. She is reluctant to harm Pokémon that she is trying to capture - as they would be less valuable to her clients - and she will forgo direct combat in favor of sneak attacks and mass destruction if the opportunity presents itself. This contributes to her high threat level in the series. However, she also tends to underestimate her opponents when on the verge of victory, which often leads to her defeat and ultimately ensures her (seemingly) final downfall.

Out of all of the characters that encountered her, she has a dislike for {{Ash}} the most as evidenced when he kept on interfering with her job and the fact that most of the encounters had Ash nearly killed had it not been for the unlikely intervention of {{ashfr}} and Pokémon, and other characters supporting the protagonists.

==Pokémon==

While Ash, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] were infiltrating J's fortress to rescue Pikachu and {{MTR}}, they were immediately spotted. Ash fought J's Drapion with his Aipom and Turtwig, but both Pokémon never stood a chance. Drapion didn't take damage from either Aipom or Turtwig's attacks, and struck the Pokémon with its Cross Poison.

In ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]'', J used her Drapion again in order to harm Ash without warning. It wrapped its claws tightly around Ash's midsection and began to squeeze him. Ash responded to this by kicking it in the face, making it one of the only Pokémon Ash ever intentionally hurt.

Drapion's known moves are {{m|Poison Sting}}, {{m|Cross Poison}}, and {{m|Pin Missile}}.}}

===Gadgets===
* J has what looks like some sort of cannon attached to her arm that is able to turn Pokémon and humans into stone. The effects are permanent unless Pokémon are placed in a special case or revived with {{m|Hidden Power}}. In ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]]'', it was destroyed when Regigigas reflected her Salamence's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} back at her. The device had been repaired or replaced by the time the events of ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' took place.
* She also has cases for those Pokémon turned to stone which can adjust how much the body is covered with stone.
* Her goggles also have many abilities, like detecting heat and {{m|camouflage}}d or {{m|transform}}ed Pokémon.

===Transportation===
* She has six-wheeled vans driven by her henchmen that can shoot out nets and have retractable arms.
* She travels throughout the Pokémon world in an airship. This ship is equipped with a stealth cloaking device that can render the ship invisible which helps in deterring pursuers, mounting surprise attacks, and making her business dealings more private and less vulnerable to outside interference. It is also capable of firing lasers from its front and has a bottom-mounted cannon that shoots a gum-like substance for restraining and capturing Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Unlike most villains in the anime, it seems as though J is actually trying to murder Ash, not just get rid of him. This is shown in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two]]'', when she commands her Salamence to burn the forest around him and use {{m|Hyper Beam}} directly on him, orders her Drapion to squeeze him tight with its claws, and ejects him from her ship from a great height.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}.

==Edit warring==
When a user reverts your edit, '''do not''' just simply add it back, especially when a {{bp|staff}} member reverts your edit. This is considered edit warring and is a blockable offense. If you believe that your edit was not in error, go to the talk page of the article or the talk page of the user who reverted your edit and discuss the reversions there.

Regarding the trivia you added on Nincada's page, it is not notable because it is not unique to Nincada only. Once the trivia point applies to more than one Pokémon, it is not considered notable any more, and should be removed. Regarding Red Genesect using Blaze Kick, it is not an anime error because Genesect can learn Blaze Kick {{DL|Blaze Kick (move)|by event}}.

Additionally, Bulbapedia is a wiki that anyone with an account can edit. You are bound to have some of your edits undone if they are in error. It doesn't matter whether you "don't appreciate" having your edits undone; edits should be done for the good of the wiki and not for a single user's personal satisfaction. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:30, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

== Blocked ==

For your insubordination and blatant refusal to follow staff direction, you have been blocked for one day. If you continue your unacceptable behavior after returning, you will be blocked for longer. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:03, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
:whatever it is you did don't ever do it again understood?{{unsigned|Barger}}
::Um, excuse me? Carmenstar and glik are both {{bp|Staff}} members on this site and are in fact administrators, so they have every right to issue warnings and blocks. And please drop the attitude, you are not special and hold no authority to tell those two what to do. You are expected to follow the rules and policies, so failure to do show some respect will have consequences. So drop your snotty attitude.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
You give me an attitude undo my edit and then block me and you expect me to drop MY attitude?! You've a lot of nerve. Besides I see lots of trivia here like mine here and on ssbwiki and when there's 700 Pokemon 2 is fine. I'm putting the trivia back and I'm not taking no for an answer so unless you care to apOlogize I don't ever want to speak to you again. Got it? {{unsigned|Barger}}
:Due to continued edit warring and continued insubordination, you have been blocked for 3 days. Failure to stop your behavior upon your return will result in another, longer block. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:27, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Did you even read my text. {{unsigned|Barger}}

== Beginner's advice ==

I've noticed you struggling since you first joined a couple days ago. I know you are blocked currently; you really should put a bit of thought into how you speak with people on here; there are thousands of users on here so you won't be able to run the show straight away. If you would like it, I'd be happy to give you a bit of advice, either on my Talk page or on the forums. It'll be a lot more fun once you've got a hang of how this all works.

:Can't post on your talk page but can you get these jerks to leave my edits alone?{{unsigned|Barger}}
::Well l've been here a long time but I'm not an admin so I can't make a case for your edits with the admins. The Nincarda trivia: you could argue forever but an admin's decision is final. The other edits you've been making are, I'm afraid, fundemently wrong. As I said, there are thousands of users here and not all of them will agree with you; that is why we have the admins. If you ever hope to change an admins mind, it will require the most polite and rational about you require the most polite and rational an argument. You won't survive here by edit warring and speaking with people so aggressively. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 21:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra [[Poké Ball]] is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green, iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kellyn Nincada.png|250px|thumb|left|Nincada in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Nincada first appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. It belonged to a boy named [[Keanu]], who lived in his [[Secret Base]] in solitude.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', [[Kellyn]] used his Capture Styler on a Nincada and had it {{m|Dig}} a pit trap for [[J]]'s Henchmen to fall in.

===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A Nincada belonging to originally belonging to {{tc|Aqua Admin}} [[Shelly]] appeared in ''[[PS246|VS. Ninjask]]'', where it was given to fellow admin [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]]. Amber's new Pokémon soon evolved into {{p|Ninjask}}, leaving behind a {{p|Shedinja}}, as well.

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra [[Poké Ball]] is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green, iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kellyn Nincada.png|250px|thumb|left|Nincada in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Nincada first appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. It belonged to a boy named [[Keanu]], who lived in his [[Secret Base]] in solitude.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', [[Kellyn]] used his Capture Styler on a Nincada and had it {{m|Dig}} a pit trap for [[J]]'s Henchmen to fall in.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|AG027|Nincada|Ash's Pokédex|Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon. Nincada lives most of its life inside the earth and uses its sharp claws to tap into tree roots extracting nutrients and moisture.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Shelly Nincada Adventures.png|thumb|Nincada in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A Nincada belonging to originally belonging to {{tc|Aqua Admin}} [[Shelly]] appeared in ''[[PS246|VS. Ninjask]]'', where it was given to fellow admin [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]]. Amber's new Pokémon soon evolved into {{p|Ninjask}}, leaving behind a {{p|Shedinja}}, as well.

I think it's a tad soon to be removing it entirely. It's not 100% confirmed that that egg hatches into Meguroco, although I admit it's entirely possible. But for all we know, the egg could hatch into Zuruggu and go to Iris, a'la Togepi, then Ash'll catch the sunglasses Meguroco. Or the egg hatches into something different that Ash Oaks for Meguroco. Or something. All I'm saying it, it's a bit too soon to be doing anything more than acknoweledging the possibility that the egg is Meguroco. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

== A little help? ==

Can someone that understands Japanese watch the episode and answer a question for me that I am curious about? I am wondering if Ash was specifically trying to capture Sandile during the battle before it evolved into Waruvile (before Pikachu sent it blasting off), or if Sandile/Waruvile just wanted to have a battle with Pikachu for some other reason (i.e. to see who was stronger, rivalry, etc.)? We never saw Ash bring out a Poké Ball to try to capture it, but that doesn't mean that wasn't his intent with the battle. Please and thank you. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 00:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

:Firstly, anime =/= games. Secondly, he wasn't really "knocked out". Knocked out emphasizes that the Pokémon was hurt and fainted, identified by the swirly eyes.

For the record, I watched the episode and there is no reason that the wild Cottonee should be on there and Sandile not. They were both treated in the exact same way.

Once the episode airs, should we add that its capture was first revealed in Seven Colored Arch, that it is the fourth recurring pokemon to be caught by Ash Ketchum, and that it is the only recurring Pokemon with a distinctive item to be caught by Ash Ketchum?

Why is the evo tag being used in the suspected capture label? It is a suspected capture, not a suspected evolution. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 22:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

== Bite ==
If Krokorok used [[Crunch]] in [[BW065]] then where's the proof that Sandile's [[Bite]] wasn't Crunch all this time? it has never been confirmed Bite in any version. Now with the animation, it's exactly the same as Clay's Krokorok's Bite attack. {{unsigned|Pao27}}

Trust me it had bite too, when it used bite to break Ash out of the ice in BW020, it looked nothing like Crunch. Also Crunch doesn't have the after animation like Bite does.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 04:33, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

==Intro==

Should we really say "also known as Sunglasses Krokorok" in the opening? As far as I know, wasn't that just a fanon name? If that's the case I don't think we should have a fan name in the opening paragraph. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 20:46, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

'''Showdown at Dark City''' (Japanese: '''たいけつ！ポケモンジム！''' ''Showdown! Pokémon Gym!'') is the 42nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 30, 1998, and in the United States on October 29, 1998. It was initially intended to air in Japan on January 27, 1998, but was rescheduled following the [[EP038]] incident.

==Blurb==

In the middle of a terrible desert, our heroes inadvertently wandered into Dark City. With no name but Dark, the city has fallen into ruin. The streets, even at midday, are vacant of people. But suddenly, a rare figure appears and begins to throw stones at Ash and friends. They had heard at a restaurant in town, that this town contains two authorized Pokémon gyms, but that their Masters try to battle traveling Pokémon trainers anywhere within the town. This is said to be the cause of the town's desolation. Will our heroes also be caught up in the whirlwind of these battles?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Dark City]], a place where it appears to be a ghost town, much to {{an|Brock}}'s dismay. They are even more curious to see a parent herding their child off for fear of [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the area. As Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Brock ponder why that is, {{AP|Pikachu}} is hit by a rock thrown from the roof of a nearby building. When Ash tells Pikachu to retaliate using a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, they hit three kids on the rooftop. When they go apologize to them, however, they get a cold shoulder treatment, as the kids want the group out of the town. The kids, however, are stopped by a local restaurant owner, who invites them to his restaurant.

At the restaurant, while eating lunch (Pikachu, in particular, taking a liking to eating ketchup from the bottle), the restaurant owner explains to Ash and his friends, as well as a mysterious patron who had happened to overhear, that Dark City has two rival [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], the Yas Gym and the Kaz Gym. Both Gyms seek official status, but to do so they would need the approval of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]], who is scheduled to arrive at any moment. As there could be only one official Gym per city, each Gym seeks to eliminate the other before the inspector arrives. The restaurant owner further explains that Pokémon Trainers who have neared Dark City are recruited for the cause of either Gym. At that moment, fighting between the two Gyms breaks out. As Ash, Misty, and Brock watch from the safety of the restaurant, the three note that the fighting is not as much of a [[Pokémon battle]] as it was a gang war. The Yas Gym's {{p|Scyther}} and the Kaz Gym's {{p|Electabuzz}} in particular are dispatching the men of the opposing Gym with ease.

At that point, the safety of the restaurant is shattered when {{TRT}}, hired by the Kaz Gym as elite bodyguards, invades the restaurant in disguise and demand food. When they send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to deal with the restaurant owner when he refuses (because of the Kaz Gym having run up a large tab), Ash (with Pikachu) and Misty (with {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}) attempt to intercept Team Rocket, but are beaten by Brock, whose {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} quickly forces Team Rocket out of the restaurant with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Vulpix has now garnered the attention of a female Yas Gym recruiter, who tries to recruit Ash and company for their cause. At the advice of Misty (who claims that taking sides would ruin their reputations as Trainers), Ash introduces himself as Tom Ato, Misty as Ann Chovy, and Brock as Caesar Salad, who, because Brock could never say no to a beautiful girl, takes them to the Yas Gym.

The Yas Leader is introduced to "Tom" and his two "disciples", who proceeds to judge how powerful he is by suddenly releasing his Scyther to attack Pikachu. The Scyther's {{m|Cut}} attack, however, is blocked by Pikachu's ketchup bottle. This resulted in Scyther getting squirted in the eyes with ketchup, blinding it and making it attack its own Trainer. Surprised, the Yas Leader recalls Scyther and asks Ash to join him. When asked why the Yas Gym wanted to be an official Gym, the Yas Leader responds that it is simply a means to earn money quickly, as with official Gym status comes prestige and funding. Because Ash does not see this as a worthy cause, he declines. However, the Yas Leader, mad at Ash for refusing, orders his underlings to physically beat him up (making him unable to help anyone else), and they do so by sending out a {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Mankey}} to do so. Ash, aided by Misty and Brock, proceed to make a hasty retreat. Back at the restaurant, Misty is curious as to why he was able to escape the Yas Gym so quickly - and uncovers the answer from Ash's [[Pokédex]]: Scyther and Electabuzz are color-sensitive, and the color red in particular will send the two into an outrage. Knowing this, Ash and company devise a plan to stop the fighting once and for all by defeating both the Yas and Kaz forces in one fell swoop.

Once again, fighting breaks out on the streets of Dark City between the Yas and Kaz forces. Scyther, using a {{m|Swords Dance}} boosted {{m|Cut}}, manages to destroy Kaz forces and city buildings with ease, while Electabuzz and {{m|ThunderPunch}} manages to do the same against the Yas forces. When Ash sees an opening, he tells Misty, Brock, the restaurant owner, and the kids to dump tomato juice (stored in barrels on the roofs of various buildings) on all the Trainers, soaking them. This makes Scyther and Electabuzz go into a rage, and they begin to attack their own Trainers. Yas and Kaz, the two leaders, are at Ash's mercy, and Ash decides to end this by having {{AP|Bulbasaur}} {{m|Vine Whip}} two barrels of tomato juice on Scyther and Electabuzz, soaking both. When the two turn to attack each other (due to the rage), they run into each other, knocking the two out.

When Ash asks whether the two Leaders have learned their lesson and resolved their differences, the two leaders finally agree... to team up and deal with Ash. In response, Ash orders Pikachu to unleash {{m|Thunder}}, shocking both sides. Before any more damage can be done, however, the mysterious patron appears. The patron reveals herself to be [[Nurse Joy]], the Pokémon League inspector (and Brock blushes once again upon seeing her), and tells everyone that neither Yas nor Kaz deserved to be an official Gym because street fighting would not be tolerated. However, Nurse Joy allows the two Leaders a second chance, and tells the two that Ash would make a fine tutor with regards to how to be a proper Pokémon Trainer and how to start over as one united Gym, but even "Tom Ato" is at a loss of words with regards to how to be one. However, Ash does manage to tell the two Leaders to repair all the damage to the city that they had caused.

As Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu leave Dark City, they are met again by the kids from in town. They had quickly became fans of Pikachu and, because of such, decide to become Pokémon Trainers themselves. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, having been covered in juice just as a building falls on them during the battle, are run out of town by Scyther and Electabuzz in their red-induced rage.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikachu Ketchup.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu crying over a broken ketchup bottle.]]
* Ash and his friends decide to use fake names for sake of safety. Since they are in a restaurant, they use food as inspiration for their false names: Ash uses the name Tom Ato, derived from {{wp|tomato}}; Misty uses the name Ann Chovy, derived from {{wp|anchovy}}; and Brock uses the name {{wp|Caesar salad|Caesar Salad}}. In the Japanese version, they use names derived from ketchup, chicken rice, and curry rice respectively.
* Pikachu reveals his fondness for ketchup. The next time he does so is in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', 234 episodes later.
* This episode reveals Electabuzz and Scyther's apparent dislike towards the color red.
** This is rather ironic for Scyther as it turns red when it evolves. (Although {{p|Scizor}} did not exist at the time of this episode).
* The story of this episode is based on the famous 1961 Japanese samurai film ''{{wp|Yojimbo (film)|Yojimbo}}''. In it, a lone samurai warrior (played by {{wp|Toshirō Mifune}}) puts an end to rival gang fighting in a small, desolate town.
* This is the first episode in which an [[HM]] move is used, as [[Yas]]'s Scyther uses {{m|Cut}}.

===Errors===
* During one of the ketchup scenes, Pikachu's red cheeks were missing.
* Shortly after Nurse Joy reveals herself as the Pokémon League Inspector, the two Gym Leaders are no longer drenched in ketchup.
* In one scene, the "z's" on Ash's cheeks are missing.

===Dub edits===
* During the Ketchup scene, Pikachu was voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]] because the lines are muffled by the human conversation.

Animated series move errors

2016-05-26T20:16:02Z

Barger: THERE HAPPY NOW?!

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.

It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra [[Poké Ball]] is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green, iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kellyn Nincada.png|250px|thumb|left|Nincada in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Nincada first appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. It belonged to a boy named [[Keanu]], who lived in his [[Secret Base]] in solitude.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', [[Kellyn]] used his Capture Styler on a Nincada and had it {{m|Dig}} a pit trap for [[J]]'s Henchmen to fall in.

'''J''' (Japanese: '''Ｊ''' ''J''), frequently referred to as '''Pokémon Hunter J''', is a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] who, with the help of [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], captures and steals {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and sells them as requested by her clients for a profit on the {{wp|black market}}. She first appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]''.

==History==
[[File:J debut.png|thumb|left|200px|J in her debut]]
Sometime before the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, J became a Pokémon hunter, and she stole a {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Relicanth}} and sold them to her clients. She was rewarded a large amount of money. Since then, she was wanted by the [[Officer Jenny]]s in Sinnoh.

J made her official debut in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' where she rode on her {{TP|J|Salamence}} to [[Melodi]]'s flower garden, where she planned to steal Melodi's {{p|Gardevoir}}. Despite Gardevoir attempting to escape with {{m|Teleport}}, J found it using her goggles and hit it with a special beam from a device on her arm that turned it into stone. J then made her exit with Melodi's Gardevoir, and {{Ash}} chased after her, demanding that she return Gardevoir to Melodi. J went after [[Ash's Pikachu]] instead since she thought Pikachu would worth a sizable amount of money. J had her {{p|Drapion}} battle Ash’s Pikachu in an attempt to see his moves. After Pikachu used {{m|Volt Tackle}}, J used her {{p|Ariados}} to bind Ash to a rock and then proceeded to steal Pikachu without any trouble.

After {{TRT}} dealt with [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], J encountered them next. As with her encounter with Ash, J bound the trio to a rock. She turned {{MTR}} into stone for the same reason as Ash's Pikachu. J was then seen by a waterwheel, stealing an {{p|Absol}}. Before the other officers arrived as backup, Ash immediately confronted J, where the Pokémon Hunter took on Officer Jenny’s {{p|Arcanine}} with Salamence and won. J immediately went to her airship with Ash, [[Jessie]] and [[James]], who called a truce with each other to rescue their Pokémon. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into her airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all the others she had stolen, before returning them to their rightful Trainers. Though several of her henchmen had been captured by Officer Jenny, J remained at large.
[[File:J anime.png|thumb|200px|J's appearance in the anime]]
J reappeared in ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', where she was on a mission to steal a group of {{p|Shieldon}}. She was seen contacting her henchmen and [[J's client (DP071)|client]] about the Shieldon. J eventually found the Shieldon with Ash, {{ashfr}}, and {{Gary}}. Ash and Gary had a Double Battle with her, while {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} led the Shieldon to safety. One of the Shieldon fell, however, and J turned it to stone in order to steal it. J attempted to give the petrified Shieldon to her client but Ash and Gary attacked the airbase which prevented her from doing so. Her client cut off the deal to obtain the Shieldon, since Officer Jenny was near. After telling Ash and his friends not to get in her way next time, she told her second-in-command to establish radio contact with their employer, in order to tell him that they would not be doing service with him again.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', J was given the assignment to steal a [[Aura Sphere Riolu|special Riolu]] for her client. One of her henchmen informed J about their encounter with [[Kellyn]], Ash, Dawn, and Brock. Later, J found the group by a lake. After Ash and {{p|Riolu}} separated from the group, J went to a forest. She then proceeded to burn the forest using her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

J continued to do so in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]''. She was able to capture the Riolu, but Ash followed her onto the airship. J soon became aware of Ash's arrival and ordered Drapion to grab him as soon as he confronted her. Although Ash escaped from Drapion's grasp, J quickly ejected him from her ship. J then met up with her client and gave him the {{m|Aura Sphere|special}} Riolu. She left after receiving payment from him, but the Riolu was later rescued from the client, who was then arrested.

Sometime before ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', J was given a request from one of her clients to catch a {{p|Regigigas}} and traveled to the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. After {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} heard the news about the situation in the Snowpoint Temple, J had her henchmen work to prevent the Battle Pyramid from getting closer. Even though he and the group were able to narrowly defeat the henchmen's Pokémon, J already had her Salamence destroy the pillars guarding Regigigas. Despite Brandon and [[Maria]] warning J about not waking up Regigigas, she destroyed the last pillar, forcing Regigigas to awaken. When Regigigas began to rampage, J was able to leave the Snowpoint Temple. She watched as Brandon used [[Brandon's legendary titans|his Pokémon]] to calm Regigigas and then bound the group with {{p|Ariados}}'s String Shot. J went after the Legendary titans during their rampage. She attempted to turn Regigigas to stone but Brandon and his Pokémon jumped in the way to prevent it from happening. Regigigas destroyed J's bracelet and withdrew from the area when her client decided to cancel the deal.

J appeared again in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where she was hired by [[Team Galactic]] to catch {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', she proceeded to carry out the task of capturing them. Gary attempted to stop her from doing so with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] overpowered the two. J then dropped a Galactic Bomb into [[Lake Valor]] to force Azelf into the open. With the help of Team Galactic's {{p|Golbat}}, J was able to catch Azelf. This caused Uxie and Mesprit to appear. although Uxie and Mesprit putting up a good fight and dodging attacks from [[Mars's Purugly]] and [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}}, J captured the two of them as well.

Although she did succeed in capturing the {{an|Lake guardians}}, her ship was hit by two {{m|Future Sight}} attacks used by Uxie and Mesprit directly before she captured them, which, in her overconfidence, she had forgotten. As a result, her ship crashed into [[Lake Valor]] and was sucked into a whirlpool while she and her crew members were still on board. Once the ship was underwater, the protective glass broke and the ship was flooded, causing it to explode. It is implied that none ofJ, her Pokémon, or any of her crew survived
She appeared briefly in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' in {{TRT}}'s fantasy riding her Salamence.

==Character==
[[File:J and Ash.png|thumb|200px|J and Ash]]
J is ruthless, relentless, and cruel, willing to do anything to capture Pokémon for her clients, up to and including injuring innocent people or Pokémon. In her debut episode, she chose to drop some of her {{TP|J|henchmen}} to their potential deaths without hesitation or remorse, emphasizing her intensely independent, sociopathic, greedy and callous nature. She has no honor, decency or regard for any form of life - the only thing that matters to her is money. She is one of the very few characters (including the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] and [[Grings Kodai]]) in the anime who is purely evil.

J is also highly pragmatic. She is reluctant to harm Pokémon that she is trying to capture - as they would be less valuable to her clients - and she will forgo direct combat in favor of sneak attacks and mass destruction if the opportunity presents itself. This contributes to her high threat level in the series. However, she also tends to underestimate her opponents when on the verge of victory, which often leads to her defeat and ultimately ensures her (seemingly) final downfall.

Out of all of the characters that encountered her, she has a dislike for {{Ash}} the most as evidenced when he kept on interfering with her job and the fact that most of the encounters had Ash nearly killed had it not been for the unlikely intervention of {{ashfr}} and Pokémon, and other characters supporting the protagonists.

'''J''' (Japanese: '''Ｊ''' ''J''), frequently referred to as '''Pokémon Hunter J''', is a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] who, with the help of [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], captures and steals {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and sells them as requested by her clients for a profit on the {{wp|black market}}. She first appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]''.

==History==
[[File:J debut.png|thumb|left|200px|J in her debut]]
Sometime before the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, J became a Pokémon hunter, and she stole a {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Relicanth}} and sold them to her clients. She was rewarded a large amount of money. Since then, she was wanted by the [[Officer Jenny]]s in Sinnoh.

J made her official debut in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' where she rode on her {{TP|J|Salamence}} to [[Melodi]]'s flower garden, where she planned to steal Melodi's {{p|Gardevoir}}. Despite Gardevoir attempting to escape with {{m|Teleport}}, J found it using her goggles and hit it with a special beam from a device on her arm that turned it into stone. J then made her exit with Melodi's Gardevoir, and {{Ash}} chased after her, demanding that she return Gardevoir to Melodi. J went after [[Ash's Pikachu]] instead since she thought Pikachu would worth a sizable amount of money. J had her {{p|Drapion}} battle Ash’s Pikachu in an attempt to see his moves. After Pikachu used {{m|Volt Tackle}}, J used her {{p|Ariados}} to bind Ash to a rock and then proceeded to steal Pikachu without any trouble.

After {{TRT}} dealt with [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], J encountered them next. As with her encounter with Ash, J bound the trio to a rock. She turned {{MTR}} into stone for the same reason as Ash's Pikachu. J was then seen by a waterwheel, stealing an {{p|Absol}}. Before the other officers arrived as backup, Ash immediately confronted J, where the Pokémon Hunter took on Officer Jenny’s {{p|Arcanine}} with Salamence and won. J immediately went to her airship with Ash, [[Jessie]] and [[James]], who called a truce with each other to rescue their Pokémon. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into her airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all the others she had stolen, before returning them to their rightful Trainers. Though several of her henchmen had been captured by Officer Jenny, J remained at large.
[[File:J anime.png|thumb|200px|J's appearance in the anime]]
J reappeared in ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', where she was on a mission to steal a group of {{p|Shieldon}}. She was seen contacting her henchmen and [[J's client (DP071)|client]] about the Shieldon. J eventually found the Shieldon with Ash, {{ashfr}}, and {{Gary}}. Ash and Gary had a Double Battle with her, while {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} led the Shieldon to safety. One of the Shieldon fell, however, and J turned it to stone in order to steal it. J attempted to give the petrified Shieldon to her client but Ash and Gary attacked the airbase which prevented her from doing so. Her client cut off the deal to obtain the Shieldon, since Officer Jenny was near. After telling Ash and his friends not to get in her way next time, she told her second-in-command to establish radio contact with their employer, in order to tell him that they would not be doing service with him again.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', J was given the assignment to steal a [[Aura Sphere Riolu|special Riolu]] for her client. One of her henchmen informed J about their encounter with [[Kellyn]], Ash, Dawn, and Brock. Later, J found the group by a lake. After Ash and {{p|Riolu}} separated from the group, J went to a forest. She then proceeded to burn the forest using her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

J continued to do so in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]''. She was able to capture the Riolu, but Ash followed her onto the airship. J soon became aware of Ash's arrival and ordered Drapion to grab him as soon as he confronted her. Although Ash escaped from Drapion's grasp, J quickly ejected him from her ship. J then met up with her client and gave him the {{m|Aura Sphere|special}} Riolu. She left after receiving payment from him, but the Riolu was later rescued from the client, who was then arrested.

Sometime before ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', J was given a request from one of her clients to catch a {{p|Regigigas}} and traveled to the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. After {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} heard the news about the situation in the Snowpoint Temple, J had her henchmen work to prevent the Battle Pyramid from getting closer. Even though he and the group were able to narrowly defeat the henchmen's Pokémon, J already had her Salamence destroy the pillars guarding Regigigas. Despite Brandon and [[Maria]] warning J about not waking up Regigigas, she destroyed the last pillar, forcing Regigigas to awaken. When Regigigas began to rampage, J was able to leave the Snowpoint Temple. She watched as Brandon used [[Brandon's legendary titans|his Pokémon]] to calm Regigigas and then bound the group with {{p|Ariados}}'s String Shot. J went after the Legendary titans during their rampage. She attempted to turn Regigigas to stone but Brandon and his Pokémon jumped in the way to prevent it from happening. Regigigas destroyed J's bracelet and withdrew from the area when her client decided to cancel the deal.
[[File:J glasses sinking.png|200px|thumb|J's glasses shown outside the sinking ship]]
J appeared again in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where she was hired by [[Team Galactic]] to catch {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', she proceeded to carry out the task of capturing them. Gary attempted to stop her from doing so with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] overpowered the two. J then dropped a Galactic Bomb into [[Lake Valor]] to force Azelf into the open. With the help of Team Galactic's {{p|Golbat}}, J was able to catch Azelf. This caused Uxie and Mesprit to appear. although Uxie and Mesprit putting up a good fight and dodging attacks from [[Mars's Purugly]] and [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}}, J captured the two of them as well.

Although she did succeed in capturing the {{an|Lake guardians}}, her ship was hit by two {{m|Future Sight}} attacks used by Uxie and Mesprit directly before she captured them, which, in her overconfidence, she had forgotten. As a result, her ship crashed into [[Lake Valor]] and was sucked into a whirlpool while she and her crew members were still on board. Once the ship was underwater, the protective glass broke and the ship was flooded, causing it to explode. It is currently unknown if J, her Pokémon, or any of her crew survived.


She appeared briefly in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' in {{TRT}}'s fantasy riding her Salamence.

==Character==
[[File:J and Ash.png|thumb|200px|J and Ash]]
J is ruthless, relentless, and cruel, willing to do anything to capture Pokémon for her clients, up to and including injuring innocent people or Pokémon. In her debut episode, she chose to drop some of her {{TP|J|henchmen}} to their potential deaths without hesitation or remorse, emphasizing her intensely independent, sociopathic, greedy and callous nature. She has no honor, decency or regard for any form of life - the only thing that matters to her is money. She is one of the very few characters (including the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] and [[Grings Kodai]]) in the anime who is purely evil.

J is also highly pragmatic. She is reluctant to harm Pokémon that she is trying to capture - as they would be less valuable to her clients - and she will forgo direct combat in favor of sneak attacks and mass destruction if the opportunity presents itself. This contributes to her high threat level in the series. However, she also tends to underestimate her opponents when on the verge of victory, which often leads to her defeat and ultimately ensures her (seemingly) final downfall.

Out of all of the characters that encountered her, she has a dislike for {{Ash}} the most as evidenced when he kept on interfering with her job and the fact that most of the encounters had Ash nearly killed had it not been for the unlikely intervention of {{ashfr}} and Pokémon, and other characters supporting the protagonists.

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra [[Poké Ball]] is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green, iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kellyn Nincada.png|250px|thumb|left|Nincada in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Nincada first appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. It belonged to a boy named [[Keanu]], who lived in his [[Secret Base]] in solitude.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', [[Kellyn]] used his Capture Styler on a Nincada and had it {{m|Dig}} a pit trap for [[J]]'s Henchmen to fall in.

Animated series move errors

Barger: Undo revision 2447266 by Carmenstar97 (talk) doesn't matter if event has it if it needs one to have it it doesn't count as legit

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.

It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra [[Poké Ball]] is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green, iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kellyn Nincada.png|250px|thumb|left|Nincada in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Nincada first appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. It belonged to a boy named [[Keanu]], who lived in his [[Secret Base]] in solitude.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', [[Kellyn]] used his Capture Styler on a Nincada and had it {{m|Dig}} a pit trap for [[J]]'s Henchmen to fall in.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|AG027|Nincada|Ash's Pokédex|Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon. Nincada lives most of its life inside the earth and uses its sharp claws to tap into tree roots extracting nutrients and moisture.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Shelly Nincada Adventures.png|thumb|Nincada in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Animated series move errors

2016-05-19T22:21:41Z

Barger: Undo revision 2447251 by Carmenstar97 (talk) yes it is

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.

It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.

* {{p|Bergmite}} ([[Wulfric]]'s; multiple; debut)
* {{p|Zygarde}} ({{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}}; [[Squishy]])

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Pokémon 24 Hours!" focusing on [[Wulfric]].
* This is the second time since the {{series|original}} that {{Ash}} has lost a second [[Gym]] battle in the same region.
* This is the first time {{an|Bonnie|someone}} has called Greninja's transformation by the official name, Ash-Greninja.

===Errors===
* Like in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' and ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'' for {{AP|Greninja}} and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'' for {{AP|Noivern}}, when Ash holds up {{AP|Hawlucha}}'s {{ball|Poké}}, the white center and black band around the white button is much larger than normal.
* After Hawlucha gets sent out to battle and starts to trip on the icy battlefield, the black sclera in Hawlucha's eyes is colored the same as the yellow sclera that is usually next to the black sclera.
* On three different occasions during the battle, {{an|Bonnie}}'s ponytail disappears.
* When Nurse Joy enters the room and the group stands up, Ash is shown not wearing his hat, but when Nurse Joy explains about the damage Greninja took during the battle, Ash is wearing his hat. In the close up shot of the devastated Ash, however, he is no longer wearing his hat.

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra [[Poké Ball]] is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green, iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==

Barger: Undo revision 2447228 by 05308 (talk) don't undo my edits

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.

It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.

'''Nincada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツチニン''' ''Tutinin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20. Additionally, if the {{player}} has a spare slot in the [[party]] and an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves. An extra [[Poké Ball]] is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green, iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|roots of trees.}} It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kellyn Nincada.png|250px|thumb|left|Nincada in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Nincada first appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. It belonged to a boy named [[Keanu]], who lived in his [[Secret Base]] in solitude.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', [[Kellyn]] used his Capture Styler on a Nincada and had it {{m|Dig}} a pit trap for [[J]]'s Henchmen to fall in.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG027|Nincada|Ash's Pokédex|Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon. Nincada lives most of its life inside the earth and uses its sharp claws to tap into tree roots extracting nutrients and moisture.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Shelly Nincada Adventures.png|thumb|Nincada in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Animated series move errors

Barger: /* List of anime Pokémon with moves that they cannot learn in the games */ too lazy to finish lol

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.

It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.
