===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Diana.png|250px|thumb|left|Diana in her childhood, finding [[Pagogo|a mysterious pendant]]]]
A few years before turning ten, Diana found in her home a briefcase containing [[Pagogo|a pendant]] and a diary with information of an [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]]'s {{pkmn|journey}}. The text that Diana found in this book motivated her to travel on her own journey to find out if these stories were real. Together with her {{p|Growlithe}}, who would later [[Evolution|Evolve]] into an {{p|Arcanine}}, Diana traveled the world in search of answers, but was unable to find any.

In the midst of her journey in search of answers, Diana met several people. Among them were [[Tepen]], who became a frequent guest on her adventures and who was once trapped for days tied to a net made by the web of an {{p|Ariados}} next to Diana. She had also met [[Hamber]], who she also traveled with a few times in the past.

On one of her trips, Diana sought to learn about the myth of a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} that was seen by navigators around the world, but when she arrived at the place she was unable to find what she was looking for as she did not have the right equipment at the time. Although Diana tried several times to solve this mystery, there came a time when she gave up looking.
[[File:Adult Diana.png|250px|thumb|Diana as a young woman with her Arcanine]]
However, about thirty years after starting her journey, Diana decided to stop looking for answers about the legend of Lucius and seek information about other myths. Some time later, she became a mother and had a daughter named [[Lucca]], who grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] region until she eventually moved to [[Paldea]] and lived there.

At some unspecified point in the past, she told her daughter, the story of Lucius. This story was also told to [[Alex|her son-in-law]], which inspired him to use it as the subject of one of his books.

Approximately one year before the events of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', Diana gave a mysterious pendant to her [[Liko|granddaughter]]. She told Liko that she should trust her Pokémon to face fear and that this pendant would become important for her in the future. Some time after this, Hamber returned, wanting to introduce Diana to [[Gibeon]], who he said had the answers she was looking for. However, Diana saw through his words, as Hamber bringing along a group of subordinates immediately signaled to her that Hamber was working for an organization who were after the pendant, and she subsequently escaped. Fearful for Liko's safety due to her now being in possession of the pendant, she asked her daughter Lucca to call a group of adventurers called the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to protect Liko and the pendant from the organization Hamber was a part of.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
[[File:Lucca Liko and Diana.png|250px|thumb|left|Diana with [[Lucca]] and [[Liko]]]]
In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', [[Amethio]] introduced himself to Liko as someone sent by her grandmother. However, Liko saw through it and got suspicious, prompting her to escape.

Diana debuted in a flashback in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', where Liko remembered in a dream the day she received the pendant as a gift.

Diana reappeared in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'' during a flashback to Liko's earlier dream.

In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', it was revealed that Diana was living somewhere in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. Liko and the other members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] then decided to travel there.
[[File:Diana and Hamber HZ025.png|250px|thumb|Diana confronting [[Hamber]]]]
Diana first appeared in person at her [[ancient castle]] in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', where she reunited with Liko and met her friends [[Roy]] and [[Friede]], who was one of Lucca's students. Diana also met Liko's Pokémon partners {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, which excited her. Also, Diana reunited with {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} and explained her past to Liko and her friends. However, the [[Explorers]], who had been following Liko and her friends, arrived at the castle. Zirc revealed their identity as the Explorers to Diana, shocking her, as she knew the name due to it being tied to Lucius and his companions.

In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Diana tried to escape with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], taking with her research items on [[Lucius]], but she was confronted again by [[Hamber]]. After a brief but harsh conversation, in which Diana questioned Hamber why the "Explorers" would be after her and Liko, as they were Lucius's friends, she quickly escaped through a collapsed wall after [[Sidian]] caused a commotion nearby and made his presence known, leaving her old friend behind. She used the commotion caused by [[Coral]] and Sidian's reckless destruction as cover to escape with her Arcanine and quickly board the [[Brave Olivine]]. Later, Diana briefly joined the Rising Volt Tacklers and revealed to Liko some of the secrets she discovered about Lucius and the identities of the other Pokémon he had in ancient times.

In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', Diana attended a lunch with the Rising Volt Tacklers, and later, when she saw that Liko was having difficulty with Terapagos, she helped her and later told more about this Pokémon's past. After that, Diana handed Liko Lucius's belt and entrusted her granddaughter with the care of Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', Diana attended a get-together with the Rising Volt Tacklers in the [[Wild Area]]. At night, on the Brave Olivine, she talked to Roy about his goal of finding {{p|Rayquaza}}. Diana also revealed that she would introduce Liko and Roy to a friend of hers who works with antiques. In the [[HZ028|next episode]], Diana revealed that she was translating a text about [[Laqua]], and indicated the place where [[Tepen]]'s store was to Liko, Roy and Friede. After discovering that the text was a fraud, Diana met with her granddaughter and her friends who were battling her former traveling partner who had stolen Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. Diana then used Tepen's {{p|Bronzor}} to show him a reflection of his true character, inspiring him to return to his old self and reveal who he intended to sell the Poké Ball to.
[[File:Diana Friede HZ032.png|250px|thumb|left|Diana meets [[Lucius]]'s [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] alongside the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', Diana was seen talking to Liko about a mysterious liquid that was found aboard the [[Brave Olivine]]. Upon hearing the reports, Diana decided to do an experiment with an antique teacup. After the group discovered that it was caused by a wild {{p|Polteageist}}, Diana joined the Rising Volt Tacklers for another get-together, when Friede drank the liquid that was in the antique teacup, Diana revealed that her experiment had worked and a {{p|Sinistea}} emerged from the cup, who joined the other Pokémon aboard the ship.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Diana heard rumors about the {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} again, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. After they group failed to get Lapras to come out, as there was {{m|Mist}} covering it and two Pokémon appeared on the ship, Diana witness a plan Friede devised to get the Transport Pokémon to come back, which worked. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Diana helped her friends battle the Pokémon that were attempting to steal food from them. Diana even helped her friends get out of Lapras's {{m|Ice Beam}}, after the Transport Pokémon used the move to freeze the Brave Olivine. After Lapras decided to join the group, Diana and her friends witness the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Diana witnessed [[Amethio]] arrive and battle the Black Rayquaza, but he was defeated and Terapagos transformed to battle the Legendary Pokémon. However, after the Black Rayquaza left, Diana told Friede that she planned to travel alone again, intending to investigate the Explorers. Later, Diana did a training battle with Liko and Roy, but the match was called off. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Diana attended a surprise party that Liko and Roy setup for her departure, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log. Diana then bid farewell to Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers.

Diana appeared in a flashback to Liko and Roy's journey in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]''.
[[File:HZ108.png|250px|thumb|Diana driving her Revavroom-attached automobile]]
In ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', it was revealed that Diana sent her Squawkabilly to Brave Olivine with new information for Liko. In the [[HZ074|next episode]], Diana reunited with her granddaughter and friends, as she was able to find them through Lucca. Wanting to see how much Liko has grown, Diana challanged her to a battle but, despite the type advantage of her Arcanine over her Floragato, eventually she lost to Liko. After sharing all the information they had, Diana was conducted to the [[Crystal Pool]] by her granddaughter and their friends in order to make contact with [[Rystal]], a friend of Lucius. After Rystal was summoned by the [[lake]]'s power, the group find out that Terapagos used to belong to her. Also, hearing that the baby Rystal was holding had her mother's name, {{OBP|Layla|Horizons}}, Diana realized that both she and Lucius were her grandparents. In the [[HZ075|following episode]], Diana and the group listened to her grandmother's story of how she met her grandfather, travelled with him and how they formed the Explores with [[Gibeon]]. Diana also found out that her grandparents were able to reach [[Laqua]] and what happened to Lucius. However, Diana had to bid farewell to Rystal, as she and a younger version of her mother had to return to their proper place. After that, Diana left Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers again, but not before telling the group that her journey with the pendent was over and was going to let her granddaughter finish what she started. Diana then bid farewell to Liko and her friends in order to continue traveling.

A year later, in ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', it was shown that Diana and Hamber reconciled on their own terms. After capturing a [[wild Pokémon]] together, Hamber told Diana that [[Spinel]] was likely to pursue the Rising Volt Tacklers once again. He also revealed that after the events on [[Mount Pericarp]], five of the Six Heroes fell into Spinel's clutches and are currently held in captivity. Together, they agreed that the key to defeating Spinel's plans laid with Liko and Amethio, who carried Lucius and Gibeon's wills within them.

In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', using her newly caught {{p|Revavroom}} to power her car to drive to a distant location, Diana reunited with Liko and the other Rising Volt Tacklers. She then met [[Ult]] who had taken her spot on the Brave Olivine, Diana then told Liko of how she reunited with Hamber and how Spinel has the remaining five of the Six Heroes in captivity. Diana speculated how Terapagos would need more than the Six Heroes to get rid of the world's remaining [[Laquium]] for good. Upon witnessing Liko's newest partner {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} battling against Roy's Crocalor, she decided to have a [[Double Battle]] against her granddaughter to test her skills. A double battle then took place with Diana managing to defeat Meowscarada with Arcanine after exploiting Charcadet's chivalrous nature. Charcadet then defeated Wash Rotom and learnt {{m|Fire Spin}}, but despite that Arcanine defeated it with {{m|Extreme Speed}}. After the battle, Diana informed the Rising Volt Tacklers that the remaining heroes are held at an Exceed facility somewhere.

In [[HZ123]], Diana requested that Liko come meet with her somewhere in Paldea so she could deliver an item to her granddaughter. She arrived too early, so Diana passed the time by taking a nap in her car. By the time she woke up, Diana found that her {{p|Pecharunt}} had used its Binding [[Mochi]] to put every member of the Rising Volt Tacklers under its control. Diana scolded Pecharunt for its mischief, made it release everyone from its control, and explained that Pecharunt was merely trying to find a more comfortable place for its Trainer to sleep and chose the Brave Olivine for that purpose. After explaining how she obtained Pecharunt, Diana presented Liko with a [[Auspicious Armor]] for her Charcadet to use.

===Character===
[[File:Diana Horizons Trainer.png|200px|thumb|Diana in her early days as a Trainer]]
As described by [[Liko]], Diana is an adventurer, who travels all over the {{pkmn|world}} and this ends up with her not having a fixed residence, never revealing her whereabouts to her family. After learning more about her grandmother's work, Diana became an inspiration to Liko on her journey, which was further [[HZ071|reinforced]] after important historians like [[Briar]] became aware of her research.
[[File:Diana team.png|thumb|250px|left|Diana and two of her Pokémon]]
Diana has a very strong appetite, quickly eating her breakfast before others and always requesting seconds. While friendly and cheerful, Diana can also show a very strong temper, as upon discovering her old friend [[Tepen]] scammed her, she ordered her Arcanine to burn him to a crisp, but quickly calmed down at Liko's behest.

Since she began traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers, Diana quickly became close with the group, participating in interactions and meetings with members. During this period, Diana settled on the Brave Olivine's observation deck, where she often uses the telescope and has quick access to the outside of the ship. It's [[HZ031|later]] revealed that Diana managed to form a friendship with [[Dot]], who, despite being quite closed off to people and generally unwilling to interact with them, managed to find a lot in common with the adventurer.

In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', Diana revealed to Liko that she likes to be alone in a quiet place, especially to read, and occasionally talk while doing so.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Diana revealed that she doesn't do well with technology, which is why she prefers to rely on her Squawkabilly over a [[Rotom Phone]] to communicate with people.

|desc={{p|Arcanine}} is Diana's first known Pokémon. It first appeared briefly during [[Liko]]'s dream in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', it was revealed that Arcanine was one of Diana's first Pokémon, accompanying her since it was a {{p|Growlithe}} during Diana's [[Pokémon journey]]. Around 30 years ago, already [[Evolution|evolved]], Arcanine appeared with Diana when she was already a young adult.

In the present day, Arcanine first appeared when [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Friede]] arrived at Diana's [[ancient castle|castle]] near [[Hammerlocke]]. As the [[Explorers]] invaded the castle, Arcanine tried to warn Diana of the danger that surrounded them. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], after [[Coral]] had her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Arcanine helped its Trainer to escape from the explosion.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Arcanine had a {{pkmn|training}} battle against [[Roy's Fuecoco]] and [[Liko's Sprigatito]]. Since the latter managed to land a hit on Arcanine with a {{m|Scratch}}, Liko and Roy won by default.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Arcanine was used in a battle against Liko's Floragato. Despite having the type advantage and activating its Justified Ability, Arcanine was defeated once Floragato {{Tera}}stallized.

In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', it was used in a [[Double Battle]] against Liko, where it went up against Liko's Meowscarada and {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} alongside {{form|Rotom|Wash}} {{p|Rotom}}. Despite Charcadet activating its Flash Fire ability to negate its Fire-type moves, it was able to defeat both Meowscarada and Charcadet with a Flare Blitz and Extreme Speed respectively, thus making Diana the winner.

As revealed in a flashback in [[HZ123]], Arcanine teamed up with [[Hamber]]'s {{p|Dusknoir}} to battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pecharunt}} near [[Mossui Town]], ultimately ending with Diana catching the [[Mythical Pokémon]] for herself.

Despite its imposing posture, Arcanine is a very kind Pokémon towards Diana's friends and family.

Arcanine's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Extreme Speed}}, {{m|Sunny Day}}, and {{m|Flare Blitz}}, and its [[Ability]] is {{a|Justified}}.}}

It was first seen alongside [[Lucca]] in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', when it gave [[Friede]] a hint about its Trainer's whereabouts. It then flew off into the sunset, to eventually return to Diana in [[Galar]]. In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', it encountered [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and Friede as they approached [[Hammerlocke]] and showed them the way to the [[Ancient castle|castle]] where Diana was at. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Squawkabilly tried to help Liko and Roy escape the [[Explorers]]' advance on the castle. After Liko and Roy were safe, Squawkabilly returned to its Trainer.

Rotom reappeared in [[HZ123]] in a flashback, helping Diana with her laundry.

|desc={{p|Pecharunt}} is Diana's fifth known Pokémon. It was first mentioned in ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'' as Diana's recently-caught Pokémon, though its identity remained a mystery until its appearance in [[HZ123]].

In its debut episode, it caused havoc for the people and Pokémon on the [[Brave Olivine]], using its [[mochi]] to take control over each of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. After Diana arrived and dealt with the situation, she explained that she met the needy Pokémon in [[Kitakami]] as it confused [[Hamber]] and her with its former caretakers and brainwashed all in [[Mossui Town]] in an attempt to please the two, but Diana denied its gifts and offered it to join her team.

In [[HZ130]], Pecharunt was Liko's final choice to form the team needed to gather the 18 types needed to eliminate [[Laquium]] from the world, believing Pecharunt's {{Tera}} Type to be {{t|Poison}}. In [[HZ132]], this suspicion was confirmed to be true when [[Pagogo]] Terastallized Pecharunt. This also increased the size of its mochi, which [[Friede]] tasted out of curiosity, briefly falling under Pecharunt's spell as a result.

None of Pecharunt's moves are known.}}

'''Cervantis''' (Japanese: '''クレイブ''' ''Crave'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. He is the former director of [[Exceed]], the son-in-law of [[Gibeon]], and [[Amethio]]'s father.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Amethio Family Photo.png|150px|left|thumb|Cervantis with his family]]
Cervantis was the son-in-law of the [[Explorers]] boss, [[Gibeon]]. As a younger man he married Gibeon's daughter, {{OBP|Maria|Horizons}}, and had a son, [[Amethio]]. Cervantis was later placed as the figurehead director of [[Exceed]], a scientific research company founded by Gibeon.

During his time as an employee at Exceed, [[Friede]] became friendly with Cervantis. Cervantis's son, Amethio, would go on to become a follower of Gibeon.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Friede arrived in the office of his former boss and apologized for having left the company in the past for his own selfish reasons, but Cervantis was quick to forgive him. Later, after Amethio finished meeting with his grandfather, Amethio mentioned that he was nothing like his father and that he would obtain more Laquium. This could suggest that Cervantis was once asked by Gibeon to acquire Laquium for the Explorers, and that Cervantis either failed or refused to do so.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Amethio met with Cervantis before leaving. Shortly after, [[Spinel]] met with Cervantis, aware that he was Amethio's father.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Amethio discovered that Spinel had completely infiltrated Exceed and was running the company without Cervantis's consent, having co-opted the company's security team and acting without Cervantis suspecting anything.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', a year after Gibeon's death, it was revealed that Cervantis was no longer the director of Exceed and that Spinel had taken over all operations that were run by Gibeon.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', [[Hamber]] revealed that Cervantis resigned from his position after Gibeon's death and that they both did not believe Spinel's reports that Amethio was to blame for it.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', while working at an Exceed factory, Cervantis received a call from [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who asked for a clue that would help them determine Amethio's whereabouts. Before he could answer, Spinel entered the room to do an inspection. Cervantis asked Spinel what the [[Strong Sphere]]s really were, but was denied a clear answer before Spinel left. Afterward, he sent Zirc and Onia a message containing the information they requested.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', it was revealed that Cervantis responded to a message from [[Liko]], in which he asked if he could meet with the Rising Volt Tacklers in person. The email later turned out to be a trap orchestrated by the Explorers. In the [[HZ110|next episode]], it was revealed that Cervantis was held captive by the Explorers for going against Spinel and his power project, later, he was released by [[Dot]] and [[Hamber]] and revealed to them the existence of the Super Strong Sphere, a more powerful and improved version of the previous Strong Sphere. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Cervantis with his group arrivied too late, as Amethio, Liko, [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] have been defeated by five of the [[Six Heroes]]. Through Amethio's convincing, Cervantis decided to stop Spinel as he joins his son in helping gather more Zygarde Cells with Hamber accompanying them, before bidding Liko and her group farewell.

In [[HZ119]], Cervantis was contacted by a video call from Dot in secret and informed about the Exceed Museum which is actually a data center with the Laquium Data stored inside but it's protected from external connections. In [[HZ120]], it was revealed that he acted to get Dot and [[Penny]] inside the Museum facilities, however it was revealed that his access to Exceed was revoked and this caused them to attract the attention of the Explorers.

==Character==
Cervantis appears to be an ethical and fair person, having a long history of friendship with [[Friede]]. In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', it was revealed that Cervantis appears to have a complicated relationship with [[Amethio]], who considers [[Hamber]] to be his real father. Though he is shown as being harsh to Amethio when he begged him for information regarding [[Gibeon]], Cervantis did not believe that his son was responsible for the failures in [[Laqua]] and has carefully given information to those who are searching for him behind [[Spinel]]'s back. However, during the events in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Cervantis reconciled with Amethio and is working on improving his relationship with his son.

It is unknown what kind of relationship Cervantis had with his wife, {{OBP|Maria|Horizons}}, but as shown in ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', he continues to wear his wedding ring even years after her death, suggesting that they had been a close couple.

'''Zirc''' (Japanese: '''ジル''' ''Gilles''<ref name="Zir" />) is a member of the [[Explorers]] and a former supporting antagonist in {{aniseries|HZ}}. He is also [[Amethio]]'s subordinate alongside [[Onia]]. After Amethio's disappearance, he and Onia started acting as double agents against [[Spinel]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', at some point prior to ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', Zirc alongside [[Onia]] joined the Explorers after being recruited by [[Hamber]], who assigned him to serve as [[Amethio]]'s direct subordinate. At first, Zirc was less than pleased about having to serve a child, but as he and Amethio continued working together, Zirc came to genuinely respect him and pledged loyalty to him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Zirc debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' alongside the other members of the [[Explorers]]. Zirc was the first one to find [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} after they tried to escape and confronted them with his {{p|Rhydon}}, only for it to be subdued by Sprigatito's aroma. When [[Friede]] from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] swoop in to defend Liko, [[Amethio]] stopped him and [[Onia]] from assisting. After Friede escaped with Liko in the [[HZ002|next episode]], him and the rest of the Explorers gave chase, broke through the [[Brave Olivine|airship]]'s defenses, and threatened Liko to give herself up. Friede stopped them from leaving and battled Amethio once more, but they managed to escape after Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, taking it as a hostage in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Zirc kept an eye on the Brave Olivine whilst most of the members of the Rising Volt Tacklers were searching for Sprigatito. Unseen by [[Ludlow]] who remained onboard the Brave Olivine [[fishing]], Zirc was able to place an unknown device on the ship.

As of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after leaving without a mission to complete, that was now given by [[Spinel]], Zirc decided to follow Amethio in order to discover more about the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] that was summoned from [[Roy]]'s ancient [[Poké Ball]].

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Zirc with Amethio and Onia arrived in the [[Galar]] [[region]] in order to investigate the [[Galar Mine]]. In the [[HZ022|next episode]], Zirc and his team arrived at the Galar Mine where they came across Roy, Liko, and Friede and they battled them. However, the two groups witnessed a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrive and attack them. Seeing how powerful Moltres was, Zirc and Onia retreated from their battle against Roy and Liko. In the [[HZ023|following episode]], the two reunited with Amethio and agreed to help him get the {{an|Terapagos|Pokémon}} that was in Liko's pendant.

[[File:Onia Zirc disguise HZ083.png|250px|left|thumb|Zirc and [[Onia]] disguised as [[Exceed]] employees]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia reported their findings to [[Hamber]]. Later, they followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to the [[old castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]] and surrounded them in order to take the Pokémon away. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Zirc tried to prevent Roy and Liko's escape, but failed. However, he was able to find Roy and Liko again, so he and Onia forced them to battle. During the battle, Zirc and Onia retreated once he noticed the {{m|Salt Cure}} [[move]] from [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} on the castle's [[wild Pokémon]].

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia were able to locate Rayquaza. Amethio told his subordinates to remain on standby whilst he went to confront it.

After Amethio's battle against Black Rayquaza in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Zirc appeared with Onia to check if Amethio was okay, then the group returned to the Explorers' base.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', it was revealed that Zirc and Onia were spying on Spinel under Amethio's orders.
[[File:Onia and Zirc HZ087.png|250px|thumb|Zirc and Onia helping [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] against their fellow [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', following Amethio's temporary ban from the Explorers, Amethio informed Zirc and Onia that he was planning on going on a mission on his own. Showing loyalty to Amethio, Zirc and Onia insisted on accompanying him.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia infiltrated the Exceed building to uncover what Spinel was scheming, only to end up captured by security. They were freed by Hamber, who took them to [[Amethio's mansion]] and told them about Gibeon's past and his association with [[Laqua]]. Believing Spinel was manipulating Gibeon in order to obtain the [[Laquium]] himself, Amethio set for Laqua with Zirc and Onia by his side.

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', after arriving in Laqua, Zirc and Onia helped Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] get past [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]], who were guarding where the Laquium was hidden. Though fearful of their superiors' wrath, Zirc and Onia stood by their decision and were prepared to face whatever punishment they received.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', when Laqua began collapsing due to Spinel's actions, Zirc and Onia returned to Amethio and convinced him to flee the area with them.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', a year after the events at Laqua, Zirc and Onia had become separated from their boss Amethio, whose whereabouts were unknown. Hamber, not believing Spinel's report that Amethio had betrayed Gibeon and that both had died in Laqua, secretly entrusted Zirc and Onia with a mission to find him as well as the White Zygarde, being given a [[Zygarde Cube]] in doing so.
[[File:Zirc Ticket.png|250px|left|thumb|Zirc and his ticket for the Nidothing and Iono event]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Zirc appeared with Onia somewhere at sea trying to find Amethio's whereabouts. Like Onia, he was upset about not being able to find their boss, but stated that all they could do was continue searching for him.

In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', while taking a break from searching for Amethio in [[Levincia]], Onia discovered that Zirc was planning to join a handshake event hosted by Nidothing and {{an|Iono}}. The next day, as he approached the event venue, a gust of wind blew Zirc's ticket into a nearby storm drain. When Liko and her friends happened upon the depressed Zirc, they agreed to help find the ticket. They tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck on top of a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}'s head. Everyone battled Wugtrio together, giving Zirc's Rhydon the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, once the event had ended, Zirc came across Nidothing without her suit, accidentally discovering her true identity was Dot. Afterward, Zirc and Onia approached Liko, where they revealed that Amethio was missing and personally asked her to assist them in finding him.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', after paying a visit to Amethio's mansion, Zirc, Onia, and Liko began looking for clues that would help them determine where Amethio was located. When Liko's {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} came across one of Amethio's childhood photos, Zirc and Onia called [[Cervantis]], who explained he took the photo while on a family vacation years ago. Off the coast of Levincia, everyone found Amethio alive, but in hiding on an island to avoid being captured by Spinel's agents. Zirc and Onia begged Amethio to take Exceed and the Explorers from Spinel's grasp, but he refused, stating that with Gibeon's passing, he was powerless to do anything. With words of encouragement from Liko and a battle with her Charcadet, Amethio managed to regain the resolve to fight against Spinel's machinations. Despite this, Amethio refused to go with Zirc and Onia, stating that as members of the Explorers, there were things they could accomplish on the inside that he couldn't. Accepting this, Zirc passed on the Zygarde Cube to Amethio before leaving the island with Onia. Afterward, Zirc and Onia reported to Hamber that Amethio was safe and sound.

In [[HZ124]], Zirc joined forces with Onia and Amethio's to battle three [[Explorers]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Shelgon}} to cause a distraction, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to infiltrate the Explorers HQ. Later, Amethio contacted him and Onia to watch the back of the building in case something goes wrong before Dot thanks the pair for their help causing Zirc to become slightly flustered at Dot's words and Amethio, Liko, Roy, Dot and Ult entered the HQ.

===Character===
Zirc has a cocky personality and is also shown to be ruthless and violent like a brute, Zirc obeying the orders of his superiors such as [[Amethio]] without questioning. He is also secretly a fan of [[Dot|Nidothing]] and watches her videos, where he submits questions under the username "''Rhydon's Muscles''" (Japanese: '''サイドンの筋肉''' ''{{p|Rhydon|Sidon}}'s Muscles''). He's a fan like [[Liko]] and really loves Nidothing's events, which is something he shares with his {{p|Rhydon}}. Zirc is also humble as he knows when to ask for help, as shown in ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', where he and [[Onia]] personally asked Liko to join them in their search to find Amethio.

Zirc is shown to be loyal to his boss, as seen in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', when he insisted on accompanying Amethio on his mission after being dismissed from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', it's revealed that he and Onia were a little judgmental of Amethio when they first met him but his perspective of Amethio changed overtime and he became completely loyal to him and wants to help him showing he cares for Amethio as a friend and superior.

===Pokémon===

|desc={{p|Rhydon}} is Zirc's first known Pokémon and his main battler. He first used it to battle [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, but it was quickly subdued due to Sprigatito's aroma.

In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', Rhydon was used to battle members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], battling against {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}} and {{p|Chansey}} before battling {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, which managed to learn Ember to take Rhydon out of the fight.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Rhydon was sent out to battle against Liko and [[Roy]] again at the [[Galar Mine]]. When [[Lucius's Moltres]] appeared, it attacked everyone in sight and Rhydon ended up getting knocked out by its {{m|Air Slash}} attack, prompting Zirc to [[recall]] his Pokémon and flee.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Rhydon joined [[Onia]]'s {{p|Golduck}} and [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] in ambushing the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Diana]] at the [[old castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Rhydon faced Fuecoco in a rematch and, despite getting hit with a super-effective {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, it managed to remain standing and was about to retaliate when the battle was called off upon [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s arrival, and Rhydon was promptly recalled as Zirc retreated.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Rhydon, along with Zirc's {{p|Skarmory}}, as well as Onia and Amethio's Pokémon, were all confiscated by [[Spinel]]'s personal security when they infiltrated [[Exceed]], but were later retrieved by [[Hamber]], and Rhydon happily reunited with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It later enjoyed a meal at [[Amethio's mansion]] and confidently agreed with Zirc in regards to assisting Amethio with his decision to reach [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Rhydon and Golduck attacked Coral's {{p|Glalie}}, Sidian's {{p|Garganacl}}, and [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} with {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Muddy Water}}, respectively, allowing Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] to pass and reach [[Gibeon]].

In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Rhydon and Zirc became excited at the prospect of meeting [[Nidothing]] in [[Levincia]], but ended up losing their ticket. Thankfully, they ultimately managed to find it at the hands of a {{p|Wugtrio}}. With the help of {{p|Meowscarada}}, {{p|Crocalor}}, and Onia's Golduck, Rhydon was able to retrieve the ticket safely. Later during the Nidothing and {{an|Iono}} event, Rhydon was picked to be part of a dancing session with {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} that ended with Rhydon chasing Nidothing affectionately, mistaking her for an actual {{p|Nidorina}}. After the event, both Rhydon and Zirc discovered Nidothing's true identity as Dot.

In [[HZ124]], Rhydon joined forces with Onia's Golduck and Amethio's Ceruledge to battle three [[Explorers]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Shelgon}} to cause a distraction, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to infiltrate the Explorers HQ.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Rock Blast}}, {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}{{tt|*|mentioned only}}, and {{m|Rock Slide}}.}}

'''Clavell''' (Japanese: '''クラベル''' ''Clavel'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. He serves as the director of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. He is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Director''' (Japanese: '''校長''' ''Principal'').

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Clavell first appears as the host of the introductory video at the start of the game, welcoming the player to the academy as well as the [[Paldea]] region as a whole. On the player's first day as a student, he arrives at their house in [[Cabo Poco]] to give them their [[first partner Pokémon]]. Clavell leads the player to the house of [[Nemona]], a [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer and fellow student, where Clavell asks the player to select a Pokémon. Nemona then decides to take one of the Pokémon herself to start anew, and Clavell takes the last of the first partner Pokémon remaining. After the player and Nemona battle, Clavell remains at Nemona's home in Cabo Poco until the two arrive at the academy.

===Pre-game===
In his youth, Clavell studied at the same university as [[Cyrano]], who later founded [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]]. Later on, Clavell worked primarily as a Pokémon researcher and was part of the research team of [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, investigating [[Area Zero]]. [[Jacq]], the current biology teacher of the academy, worked alongside Clavell as his subordinate and is frequently at the receiving end of Clavell's criticizing. A year and a half before the events of the game, Clavell was named the director of the academy by [[Geeta]].

===★ Starfall Street ★===
During the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline, he disguises himself as a student named '''Clive''' (Japanese: '''ネルケ''' ''Nelke'') to support the player and learn the truth behind [[Team Star]]'s reputation and actions.

===Victory Road===
Clavell appears as part of [[Iono]]'s [[Gym]] Test, where he hides somewhere in three locations, the first location being the street connected to the [[Levincia]] Gym building, the second location being the street connected to the Levincia [[Pokémon Center]], and the third location being the Levincia Gym's battle court. The player must use the street surveillance cameras to seek him. Iono refers to Clavell as '''Mister Walksabout''' (Japanese: '''ジェントルさん''' ''Jentoru-san'') throughout the Gym Test. Clavell explains that he owes the {{pal|Pokémon League}} "for many a past favor", which is why he agreed to help Iono with her Gym Test. For the first two locations, the player will always have to battle Iono's {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, even if they found Clavell on their first try or not.

===Post-game===
After the player's adventure in [[Area Zero]], Clavell thanks them, Nemona, [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] for their efforts in stopping the professor's time machine, despite having had to go into the area without permission to do so. After giving the player a [[Master Ball]], Clavell explains that while their deeds in Area Zero must be kept secret, the player's attaining of Champion rank deserves to be celebrated, and he and Nemona begin organizing a tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Known as the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], Clavell gives the tournament's opening speech. After the player wins the competition, Clavell decides for more competitions to be held, and may appear as a final opponent in further tournaments.

===Pokémon===
Clavell's team will always contain the final evolutionary form of the [[first partner Pokémon]] with a type advantage to the player's chosen first partner Pokémon. This is likely the first partner Pokémon that remained with him after the player and [[Nemona]] chose their own first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game. The remainder of his team will be based on his first partner Pokémon. Clavell also sends out a Pawmi during the game's opening cutscene.

===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Clavell will {{Tera}}stallize his [[first partner Pokémon]] at the first opportunity.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
====History====
Clavell first appeared in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]''. He was first seen with [[Geeta]] explaining the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] to [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. When {{an|Nemona}} joined them, Clavell asked her to show the new students around the academy. Later, when [[Coral|"Cornbread"]] and [[Sidian|"Seasoning"]] arrived at the academy, Clavell noted they were not registered in the school's systems. He was then approached by [[Chalce|"Chive"]], who promised to resolve the issue for him.

In ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]'', Clavell found Cornbread and Seasoning spying on Liko's group in [[Levincia]]. Believing the duo were interested in the performance of their academy colleagues, Clavell offered to accompany them to the [[Levincia Gym]], only to be left behind while he was distracted. Shortly afterward, Clavell traveled with Liko and Roy to watch Dot's Terastal battle against [[Iono]]. After the battle, Clavell instructed Liko, Roy, and Dot to return to the academy while also doing reports on any wild Pokémon they encounter on the way back.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Clavell met the students taking on the Tera Training course as they returned to the academy and announced the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], a friendly set of [[Multi Battle|Tag Battles]] where students would get to team up with [[Gym Leader]]s against members of the [[Paldea]] [[Elite Four]] while waiting for their next assignment. He was later seen observing the battles alongside Geeta.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', alongside Geeta, Clavell was introduced to {{an|Terapagos}} during a meeting with [[Friede]], Liko, Roy, and Dot. After telling them what they knew about the Pokémon, Geeta talked about [[Area Zero]], and together with Clavell recommended that the group seek help from [[Raifort]] to find out more about Terapagos and [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Clavell initiated the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]. Following Liko and her friends defending the academy from the [[Explorers]], Clavell invited Liko to his office, where [[Grusha]], having witnessed Liko's victory over [[Sidian]], allowed her to pass her second Tera Training test. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Clavell watched the tournament battle between Liko and Roy, after which he formally concluded the tournament.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Clavell and Geeta met up with the younger [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] once more, this time also including [[Ult]]. While the Explorers had been spreading bad words of the Rising Volt Tacklers, Clavell and Geeta assured the children that their trust in them hadn't been wavered by these words. Dot then presented them with their findings regarding [[Laquium]], with Clavell asking [[Jacq]] to help in the analysis of the gathered data.

Clavell was mentioned multiple times in [[HZ115]] and [[HZ116]], where [[Cyrano]] revealed that they both talked about the young Rising Volt Tacklers. At that time, Cyrano revealed that he calls Clavell by the nickname ''Vell-chan''. [[HZ116|Some time later]], Cyrano revealed that Clavell had asked him to look after the young Rising Volt Tacklers and how promising they were as Trainers.

In [[HZ126]], Clavell and Geeta once again met up with the younger Rising Volt Tacklers. The children were able to provide them with data that proved how harmful the [[Strong Sphere]]s were to the bond between humans and Pokémon, which Jacq's research also supported. While both Clavell and Geeta knew that the public wouldn't be so easily convinced, due to the Rising Volt Tacklers' bad reputation, they were still able to ban the use of Strong Spheres at Naranja Academy.

====Character====
According to Clavell, he has the habit of personally monitoring his students' performance, and seeing how well they do. He is also kind and encouraging towards students, such as when he encouraged Liko on her progress as a trainer, even showing appreciation for her heroic actions that protected the school.

Clavell also has a habit of dwelling on random topics at important moments. He also tends to get into lengthy conversations without realizing it.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
Clavell debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]''. He was first seen at [[Uva Academy]]'s courtyard, hosting the opening ceremony for the Treasure Hunt. The presentation was interrupted by a student named {{Violet}}, who agreed to accept punishment if he was defeated in a race. [[Dendra]] accepted the challenge and competed against Violet alongside two other teachers. Although Dendra emerged the victor, Violet ended up running off with [[Arven]] to search for the [[Herba Mystica]]. Later, Clavell called the teaching staff in order to inform them of Violet's backstory and explain his behavior.

In ''[[PASV03|Battle! Team Star, the Delinquents!!]]'', in order to deal with [[Team Star]], Clavell and two teachers traveled to [[West Province (Area One)]]. They witnessed Violet driving off a pair of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s trying to forcibly recruit a girl named [[Penny]]. Shortly after Violet and Penny went their separate ways, the former received a call from someone going by the name "[[Cassiopeia]]". The mysterious caller recruited Violet and Arven as members of Operation Starfall, a plan to defeat Team Star's five squad bosses and force the group to disband. When Violet and Arven arrived at the [[Segin Squad's Base]], they were approached by Clavell. Disguised as a student named Clive, Clavell requested to be included in Operation Starfall, which Cassiopeia accepted. Violet was unable to see through his disguise, much to Arven's bafflement, but Clavell quietly told Arven to play along.

In ''[[PASV05|Challenge! DJ Giacomo!!]]'', Violet and Arven battled through waves of Grunts while Clavell played support by healing their injured Pokémon. Once the Grunts were defeated, their boss [[Giacomo]] stepped out. Using the [[Tera Orb]] Clavell gave him, Violet defeated Giacomo, Accepting his defeat, Giacomo stepped down as a boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.

In ''[[PASV07|Fierce Battle! The Stony Cliff Titan!!]]'', Clavell returned to the academy to research more about Team Star and their leader. His attempts ended in failure, as any information from before he was hired as Director had been wiped from the academy's database. Speculating that this may have been a cover-up, Clavell decided the best option to learn about Team Star was to ask a student who was enrolled back when the team was still active.

[[File:Clive Adventures.png|270px|left|thumb|Clive in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[PASV13]], while in [[Levincia]], Clavell received a call from Arven, who requested that he help Violet raid the [[Schedar Squad's Base]] in his stead. Clavell agreed, but once he arrived at the base as Clive, he found Violet he found Violet tied up in a ball of webbing. Violet explained that a girl named {{Scarlet}} trapped him in her {{p|Tarountula}}'s thread and stole {{ga|Miraidon}}. After Violet was freed, he and Clavell were approached by Nemona, who had come searching for Scarlet. Arven called Violet and informed him that he had met and started traveling with Scarlet. Satisfied, Violet and Nemona raided the Schedar Squad's Base together.

In [[PASV16]], during Violet's battle with [[Mela]], the Fire crew's boss, Clavell noticed that the temperature quickly started to rise. The strong sunlight eventually caused Violet to pass out from heatstroke. He was revived soon after with a {{m|Rain Dance}} from Nemona's {{p|Quaxly}}. Clavell revealed the culprit was a group of {{p|Charcadet}} led by Charlos, a Charcadet raised by the academy that Mela had befriended. Mela scolded Charlos for its interference before continuing her battle with Violet, which eventually ended in the latter's victory. Accepting her loss, Mela stepped down as squad boss. Clavell explained that he had been investigating Team Star, but all information on them had been wiped from the academy database. Mela was shocked to learn this and suspected it was an intentional act of sabotage. Mela agreed to talk about Operation Star, but only after she had consulted the other squad bosses and the big boss. While Violet and Nemona went off to meet with Scarlet and Arven, Clavell stayed behind to continue talking with the Grunts at the base.

In [[PASV19]], Clavell talked to [[Dendra]], [[Raifort]], and [[Tyme]] about Scarlet. Dendra noted that she had never seen Scarlet attend class despite her school records claiming she had perfect attendance. Clavell suspected that Scarlet may have infiltrated the academy for some reason. He was interrupted by a call from Cassiopeia, who informed him that Violet had gone to raid the [[Navi Squad's Base]]. In [[PASV20]], while disguised as Clive, Clavell arrived at the [[Tagtree Thicket]], but found the area deserted. He investigated the ground and found it was coated in a {{p|Muk}}'s poison, which he suspected was a trap meant for Violet. A student named [[Youssef]] tried to launch a sneak attack, but was easily fended off. Youssef explained that he wasn't a member of Team Star, but was close friends with [[Atticus]], boss of the Navi Squad. To Youssef's shock, Clavell explained that he recently learned about an internal conflict within Team Star. Several Grunts planned to launch a coup, defeat the remaining bosses, and reform Team Star to suit their benefits. Clavell assured Youssef he meant Team Star no harm and asked that he cooperate with him.

In [[PASV22]], while inside the base, Youssef and Clavell learned that the raid had already started. They quickly headed over to where Atticis was battling the raider, who unbeknownst to Clavell, was actually Scarlet disguised as Violet. Due to another poison trap, Scarlet's vision was severely affected, preventing her from choosing the correct Pokémon to battle with. Nemona tried using Clavell's glasses to help Scarlet see better, but they failed as they were the wrong prescription. Eventually, Scarlet's {{form|Palafin|Hero Form}} {{p|Palafin}} managed to take out Atticus's [[Starmobile]], resulting in the latter's defeat. Once Scarlet was cured of the poison afflicting her, she called out Atticus's hypocrisy by pointing out that his cruel actions in their battle made him no better than the bullies that led to Team Star's formation in the first place. Scarlet and Nemona then left while Clavell stayed behind to discuss Team Star-relate matters with the others.

In [[PASV24]], Clavell asked Atticus to tell him why he and the other bosses were chosen to lead their respective bases. Atticus explained that like other members of Team Star, he was a victim of bullying due to standing out too much. He also revealed there was another student that stood out due to not being from Paldea, but she stopped attending school early on and he never learned her name or face. Later, Clavell called [[Penny]] into his office and began questioning her about the state of the academy before he was hired as Director. Unable to answer, Penny started crying and was granted permission to leave. Unbeknownst to Clavell, the "Penny" he was speaking to was actually Scarlet in another disguise.

==In the TCG==
===Clavell===
{{main|Clavell (Paldea Evolved 177)}}
'''Clavell''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Triplet Beat}} subset and the English {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} expansion, with artwork by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]] was released in the same sets. It lets players search their deck for up to three Basic Pokémon with 120 HP or less, reveal them, and put them in their hand. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.

===Clive===

Clavell's alter ego '''Clive''' was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era) as well. It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Treasure ex}} subset, with artwork by [[GOSSAN]]. It allows players to draw two cards for each Supporter card in their opponent's hand.

==Trivia==
* Clavell's Trainer ID is 209896. He has the same ID as [[Grusha]].
* Clavell's [[Rotom Phone]] uses a [[List of clothing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Rotom Phone|White Case]].
* Clavell, [[Nemona]], and [[Iono]] are the only characters in the [[League Club Room]] that don't trade to the player a Pokémon or a pre-Evolution of a Pokemon that they are seen using in battle, instead trading {{p|Pawmo}}, {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Magnemite}}, respectively.
** The Pokémon that Clavell and Nemona trade, however, are references to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s opening cutscene, where he is seen with a {{p|Pawmi}} and she with a Paldean Tauros.
* In the League Club Room, Clavell reveals he wears [[Premier Ball]]s on his person simply because [[Cyrano]] said he should do so.

'''Rubina''' (Japanese: '''ルーベラ''' ''Rubella'') is a recurring antagonist who first appeared in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]''. She is a member of the [[Explorers]] and is commonly seen at [[Indi]]'s side.

==History==
[[File:Indi and Rubina.png|250px|thumb|left|Indi and Rubina battling together]]
Rubina debuted in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', alongside [[Indi]]. During an argument between [[Karna]] and a pair of [[Exceed]] subordinates, they intervened in order to convince Karna to deliver the [[Strong Sphere]] parts. However, they soon found out [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] being there and immediately engaged in battle against them, [[Dot]], and [[Ult]], using their Strong Spheres to power up their {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. The battle properly started in the [[HZ100|next episode]], where they ended up being defeated after their opponents discovered the pattern behind the Tauros's attacks. After retreating, they reported back to [[Spinel]].

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', Rubina and Indi spotted {{OBP|Ryan|HZ106}} trying to trade a [[Dusk Ball]] housing a powerful Pokémon for a Strong Sphere and were seemingly about to accept the offer, only for Ult to show up, declaring himself as the Dusk Ball's owner. Recognizing him as a Rising Volt Tackler, Rubina put away the Dusk Ball, and the Explorer duo prepared for battle, powering up their {{p|Darmanitan}} with their Strong Spheres. They managed to overpower Ult in numbers and raw strength, but Ult managed to still win once his {{p|Dragonite}} emerged from the Dusk Ball, reacting with its Trainer's willingness to fight for others, forcing Rubina and Indi to retreat. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], Rubina and Indi fought against Ult and Roy, this time with each other's Darmanitan in their {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}}. Due to the assistance of a {{p|Rabsca}} army, they managed to keep the upper hand for the majority of the battle, only to lose once more as Ult's Dragonite reappeared and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] alongside [[Roy's Lucario]].

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Rubina and Indi appeared at the entrance of the Exceed distribution center as soon as Liko, Roy, and Ult arrived at the location. In the [[HZ110|next episode]], Rubina with Indi and three other grunts used a new version of Strong Spheres called Super Strong Spheres on five of the Six Heroes to battle them. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Rubina and Indi with their group were forced to retreat when the Super Strong Spheres wears off on five of the Six Heroes, even though they knocked out all of their and [[Amethio]]'s with [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s help.

In [[HZ120]], Rubina managed to intercept an invasion of Dot and [[Penny]] at the Exceed Museum along with [[Indi]] and [[Chalce]]. After a battle against the two Trainers' Pokémon, Chalce managed to separate Dot from her friend and leave the rest to her and Indi. However, Penny and her {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Jolteon}} defeated Rubina's {{p|Scolipede}} and Indi's {{p|Drapion}} before Dot and Penny escaped with the Laquium data thanks to her newly evolved {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}.

In [[HZ124]], Rubina and Indi battled against [[Amethio]] and [[Liko]] with their Salamence using Strong Sphere on them, however, after Liko's {{p|Charcadet}} evolved into {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}} and learned {{m|Armor Cannon}}, their Salamence were defeated.

In [[HZ125]], Rubina used a [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]] on [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]], pitting it against [[Ult]] and his {{p|Dragonite}}. After it was defeated, Rubina used another Super Strong Sphere on it under [[Spinel]]'s orders, but the Explorers were thwarted through the combined efforts of the [[White Zygarde]] and [[Pagogo]].

==Character==
Rubina has a stoic personality and is quite cold and calculating. Due to their use of [[Strong Sphere]]s, both she and [[Indi]] battle without issuing actual instructions to their Pokémon, instead making them rely on their natural instincts, which makes battling against them hard to predict at times.

In [[HZ124]], she is shown to be arrogant and ignorant to the condition of her Pokémon as she was ignorant about the state of her {{p|Salamence}}, saying that she didn't care about its current state, fully believing using a Strong Sphere guarantees victory even after being proven wrong multiple times. Despite her cold and stoic personality, Rubina is loyal to [[Spinel]] and follows his orders without question.

==Trivia==
* Rubina mostly uses red Pokémon, so when she used [[Indi]]'s {{rf|Galarian}} {{P|Darmanitan}}, it changed to its {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}} to match that color.
* Rubina and Indi are tied for owning the most Pokémon of all other members of the Explorers, with four each.

Due to the assistance of a {{p|Rabsca}} army, they managed to keep the upper hand for the majority of the battle, only to lose once more as Ult's Dragonite reappeared and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] alongside [[Roy's Lucario]].

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Indi and Rubina appeared at the entrance of the Exceed distribution center as soon as Liko, Roy, and Ult arrived at the location. In the [[HZ110|next episode]], Indi with Rubina and three other grunts used a new version of Strong Spheres called Super Strong Spheres on five of the Six Heroes to battle them. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Indi and Rubina with their group were forced to retreat when the Super Strong Spheres wears off on five of the Six Heroes, even though they knocked out all of their and [[Amethio]]'s with [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s help.

In [[HZ120]], Indi managed to intercept an invasion of Dot and [[Penny]] at the Exceed Museum along with [[Rubina]] and [[Chalce]]. After a battle against the two Trainers' Pokémon, Chalce managed to separate Dot from her friend and leave the rest to him and Rubina. However, Penny and her {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Jolteon}} defeated Indi's {{p|Drapion}} and Rubina's {{p|Scolipede}} before Dot and Penny escaped with the Laquium data thanks to her newly-evolved {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}.

In [[HZ124]], Indi and Rubina battled against [[Amethio]] and [[Liko]] with their Salamence using Strong Sphere on them, however, after Liko's {{p|Charcadet}} evolved into {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}} and learned {{m|Armor Cannon}}, their Salamence were defeated.

In [[HZ125]], Indi used a [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]] on [[Lucius's Lapras]], pitting her against [[Amethio]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. After it was defeated, Indi used another Super Strong Sphere on it under [[Spinel]]'s orders, but the Explorers were thwarted through the combined efforts of the White Zygarde and [[Pagogo]].

==Character==
Indi has a stoic personality and is quite cold and calculating. Due to their use of [[Strong Sphere]]s, both he and [[Rubina]] battle without issuing actual instructions to their Pokémon, instead making them rely on their natural instincts, which makes battling against them hard to predict at times. As seen in ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', he is quite selective with the colors of the Pokémon he uses and is willing to swap Pokémon if it better fits his color scheme.

In [[HZ124]], he is shown to be arrogant and ignorant to the condition of his Pokémon as he was ignorant about the state of his {{p|Salamence}} saying that the Strong Sphere guarantees victory even after being proven wrong multiple times. Despite his cold and stoic personality, Indi is loyal to [[Spinel]] and follows his orders without question.

'''Zirc''' (Japanese: '''ジル''' ''Gilles''<ref name="Zir" />) is a member of the [[Explorers]] and a former supporting antagonist in {{aniseries|HZ}}. He is also [[Amethio]]'s subordinate alongside [[Onia]]. After Amethio's disappearance, he and Onia started acting as double agents against [[Spinel]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', at some point prior to ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', Zirc alongside [[Onia]] joined the Explorers after being recruited by [[Hamber]], who assigned him to serve as [[Amethio]]'s direct subordinate. At first, Zirc was less than pleased about having to serve a child, but as he and Amethio continued working together, Zirc came to genuinely respect him and pledged loyalty to him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Zirc debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' alongside the other members of the [[Explorers]]. Zirc was the first one to find [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} after they tried to escape and confronted them with his {{p|Rhydon}}, only for it to be subdued by Sprigatito's aroma. When [[Friede]] from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] swoop in to defend Liko, [[Amethio]] stopped him and [[Onia]] from assisting. After Friede escaped with Liko in the [[HZ002|next episode]], him and the rest of the Explorers gave chase, broke through the [[Brave Olivine|airship]]'s defenses, and threatened Liko to give herself up. Friede stopped them from leaving and battled Amethio once more, but they managed to escape after Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, taking it as a hostage in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Zirc kept an eye on the Brave Olivine whilst most of the members of the Rising Volt Tacklers were searching for Sprigatito. Unseen by [[Ludlow]] who remained onboard the Brave Olivine [[fishing]], Zirc was able to place an unknown device on the ship.

As of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after leaving without a mission to complete, that was now given by [[Spinel]], Zirc decided to follow Amethio in order to discover more about the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] that was summoned from [[Roy]]'s ancient [[Poké Ball]].

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Zirc with Amethio and Onia arrived in the [[Galar]] [[region]] in order to investigate the [[Galar Mine]]. In the [[HZ022|next episode]], Zirc and his team arrived at the Galar Mine where they came across Roy, Liko, and Friede and they battled them. However, the two groups witnessed a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrive and attack them. Seeing how powerful Moltres was, Zirc and Onia retreated from their battle against Roy and Liko. In the [[HZ023|following episode]], the two reunited with Amethio and agreed to help him get the {{an|Terapagos|Pokémon}} that was in Liko's pendant.

[[File:Onia Zirc disguise HZ083.png|250px|left|thumb|Zirc and [[Onia]] disguised as [[Exceed]] employees]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia reported their findings to [[Hamber]]. Later, they followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to the [[old castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]] and surrounded them in order to take the Pokémon away. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Zirc tried to prevent Roy and Liko's escape, but failed. However, he was able to find Roy and Liko again, so he and Onia forced them to battle. During the battle, Zirc and Onia retreated once he noticed the {{m|Salt Cure}} [[move]] from [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} on the castle's [[wild Pokémon]].

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia were able to locate Rayquaza. Amethio told his subordinates to remain on standby whilst he went to confront it.

After Amethio's battle against Black Rayquaza in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Zirc appeared with Onia to check if Amethio was okay, then the group returned to the Explorers' base.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', it was revealed that Zirc and Onia were spying on Spinel under Amethio's orders.
[[File:Onia and Zirc HZ087.png|250px|thumb|Zirc and Onia helping [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] against their fellow [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', following Amethio's temporary ban from the Explorers, Amethio informed Zirc and Onia that he was planning on going on a mission on his own. Showing loyalty to Amethio, Zirc and Onia insisted on accompanying him.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia infiltrated the Exceed building to uncover what Spinel was scheming, only to end up captured by security. They were freed by Hamber, who took them to [[Amethio's mansion]] and told them about Gibeon's past and his association with [[Laqua]]. Believing Spinel was manipulating Gibeon in order to obtain the [[Laquium]] himself, Amethio set for Laqua with Zirc and Onia by his side.

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', after arriving in Laqua, Zirc and Onia helped Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] get past [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]], who were guarding where the Laquium was hidden. Though fearful of their superiors' wrath, Zirc and Onia stood by their decision and were prepared to face whatever punishment they received.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', when Laqua began collapsing due to Spinel's actions, Zirc and Onia returned to Amethio and convinced him to flee the area with them.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', a year after the events at Laqua, Zirc and Onia had become separated from their boss Amethio, whose whereabouts were unknown. Hamber, not believing Spinel's report that Amethio had betrayed Gibeon and that both had died in Laqua, secretly entrusted Zirc and Onia with a mission to find him as well as the White Zygarde, being given a [[Zygarde Cube]] in doing so.
[[File:Zirc Ticket.png|250px|left|thumb|Zirc and his ticket for the Nidothing and Iono event]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Zirc appeared with Onia somewhere at sea trying to find Amethio's whereabouts. Like Onia, he was upset about not being able to find their boss, but stated that all they could do was continue searching for him.

In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', while taking a break from searching for Amethio in [[Levincia]], Onia discovered that Zirc was planning to join a handshake event hosted by Nidothing and {{an|Iono}}. The next day, as he approached the event venue, a gust of wind blew Zirc's ticket into a nearby storm drain. When Liko and her friends happened upon the depressed Zirc, they agreed to help find the ticket. They tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck on top of a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}'s head. Everyone battled Wugtrio together, giving Zirc's Rhydon the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, once the event had ended, Zirc came across Nidothing without her suit, accidentally discovering her true identity was Dot. Afterward, Zirc and Onia approached Liko, where they revealed that Amethio was missing and personally asked her to assist them in finding him.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', after paying a visit to Amethio's mansion, Zirc, Onia, and Liko began looking for clues that would help them determine where Amethio was located. When Liko's {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} came across one of Amethio's childhood photos, Zirc and Onia called [[Cervantis]], who explained he took the photo while on a family vacation years ago. Off the coast of Levincia, everyone found Amethio alive, but in hiding on an island to avoid being captured by Spinel's agents. Zirc and Onia begged Amethio to take Exceed and the Explorers from Spinel's grasp, but he refused, stating that with Gibeon's passing, he was powerless to do anything. With words of encouragement from Liko and a battle with her Charcadet, Amethio managed to regain the resolve to fight against Spinel's machinations. Despite this, Amethio refused to go with Zirc and Onia, stating that as members of the Explorers, there were things they could accomplish on the inside that he couldn't. Accepting this, Zirc passed on the Zygarde Cube to Amethio before leaving the island with Onia. Afterward, Zirc and Onia reported to Hamber that Amethio was safe and sound.

In [[HZ124]], Zirc joined forces with Onia and Amethio's to battle three [[Explorers]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Shelgon}} to cause a distraction, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to infiltrate the Explorers HQ. Later, Amethio contacted him and Onia to watch the back of the building in case something goes wrong before Dot thanks the pair for their help causing Zirc to become slightly flustered at Dot's words and Amethio, Liko, Roy, Dot and Ult entered the HQ.

===Character===
Zirc has a cocky personality and is also shown to be ruthless and violent like a brute, Zirc obeying the orders of his superiors such as [[Amethio]] without questioning. He is also secretly a fan of [[Dot|Nidothing]] and watches her videos, where he submits questions under the username "''Rhydon's Muscles''" (Japanese: '''サイドンの筋肉''' ''{{p|Rhydon|Sidon}}'s Muscles''). He's a fan like [[Liko]] and really loves Nidothing's events, which is something he shares with his {{p|Rhydon}}. Zirc is also humble as he knows when to ask for help, as shown in ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', where he and [[Onia]] personally asked Liko to join them in their search to find Amethio.

Zirc is shown to be loyal to his boss, as seen in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', when he insisted on accompanying Amethio on his mission after being dismissed from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', it's revealed that he and Onia were a little judgmental of Amethio when they first met him but his perspective of Amethio changed overtime and he became completely loyal to him and wants to help him showing he cares for Amethio as a friend and superior.

|desc={{p|Rhydon}} is Zirc's first known Pokémon and his main battler. He first used it to battle [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, but it was quickly subdued due to Sprigatito's aroma.

In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', Rhydon was used to battle members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], battling against {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}} and {{p|Chansey}} before battling {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, which managed to learn Ember to take Rhydon out of the fight.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Rhydon was sent out to battle against Liko and [[Roy]] again at the [[Galar Mine]]. When [[Lucius's Moltres]] appeared, it attacked everyone in sight and Rhydon ended up getting knocked out by its {{m|Air Slash}} attack, prompting Zirc to [[recall]] his Pokémon and flee.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Rhydon joined [[Onia]]'s {{p|Golduck}} and [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] in ambushing the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Diana]] at the [[old castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Rhydon faced Fuecoco in a rematch and, despite getting hit with a super-effective {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, it managed to remain standing and was about to retaliate when the battle was called off upon [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s arrival, and Rhydon was promptly recalled as Zirc retreated.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Rhydon, along with Zirc's {{p|Skarmory}}, as well as Onia and Amethio's Pokémon, were all confiscated by [[Spinel]]'s personal security when they infiltrated [[Exceed]], but were later retrieved by [[Hamber]], and Rhydon happily reunited with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It later enjoyed a meal at [[Amethio's mansion]] and confidently agreed with Zirc in regards to assisting Amethio with his decision to reach [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Rhydon and Golduck attacked Coral's {{p|Glalie}}, Sidian's {{p|Garganacl}}, and [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} with {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Muddy Water}}, respectively, allowing Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] to pass and reach [[Gibeon]].

In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Rhydon and Zirc became excited at the prospect of meeting [[Nidothing]] in [[Levincia]], but ended up losing their ticket. Thankfully, they ultimately managed to find it at the hands of a {{p|Wugtrio}}. With the help of {{p|Meowscarada}}, {{p|Crocalor}}, and Onia's Golduck, Rhydon was able to retrieve the ticket safely. Later during the Nidothing and {{an|Iono}} event, Rhydon was picked to be part of a dancing session with {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} that ended with Rhydon chasing Nidothing affectionately, mistaking her for an actual {{p|Nidorina}}. After the event, both Rhydon and Zirc discovered Nidothing's true identity as Dot.

In [[HZ124]], Rhydon joined forces with Onia's Golduck and Amethio's Ceruledge to battle three [[Explorers]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Shelgon}} to cause a distraction, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to infiltrate the Explorers HQ.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Rock Blast}}, {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}{{tt|*|mentioned only}}, and {{m|Rock Slide}}.}}

Laquium

CAJH:

{{cleanup|needs=Needs revising for spelling and grammar}}
[[File:Laquium cluster.png|thumb|250px|A cluster of Laquium in [[Laqua]]]]
'''Laquium''' (Japanese: '''ラクリウム''' ''Rakurium''), also referred to as the '''Treasure of Eternity''' (Japanese: '''永遠のめぐみ''' ''Eternal Blessing'') by [[Exceed]], is a mysterious, energetic substance of extraterrestrial origin featured prominently in {{aniseries|HZ}}. It manifests in the form of pink crystals, is found exclusively in the deepest areas of [[Laqua]], and appears to have some connection to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Terapagos}}.

After the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Exceed, under the leadership of [[Spinel]], started developing products with Laquium, namely the iterations of [[Strong Sphere]]s.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Laquium components.png|thumb|left|250px|The inert extraterrestrial components that make up Laquium]]
As revealed in [[HZ122]], long ago, Laquium was created as the result of extraterrestrial components found on a massive meteor undergoing a chemical reaction upon its fall onto the [[Pokémon world]], destroying [[Mount Pericarp]]'s summit and creating the crater where [[Laqua]] currently sits at in the process. The meteor itself transformed into the Laquium Core, which is said to produce Laquium endlessly.
[[File:Laquium mist.png|thumb|250px|Laquium spreading its mist all over [[Laqua]]]]
100 years prior to the events of {{aniseries|HZ}}, the original [[Explorers]], composed of [[Lucius]], [[Rystal]], and [[Gibeon]], found the Pokémon paradise known as Laqua. Deep into the paradise, they discovered a large chunk of pink crystals, which were overstimulating the growth of the nearby plants to the point of actually devastating the land. Lucius and Rystal tried to leave Laqua, but Gibeon ignored them and had his [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] dig the crystals out. This, however, caused the Laquium to activate, expand uncontrollably, and release a pink mist over the area, causing many [[wild Pokémon]] to go berserk. The expansion created a fissure on the ground below Gibeon, causing him to fall inside. The [[Six Heroes]] released themselves from their [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s and tried to contain the crystals, but to no avail. Afterwards, Rystal's {{p|Terapagos}}, [[Pagogo]], transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and gave some of its [[Terastal energy|energy]] to the Six Heroes, allowing them to seal the Laquium away. As a result of this, Lucius was trapped in Laqua, but the Laquium kept him alive for over 100 years.

Gibeon survived the fall thanks to the power of the Laquium shard he managed to keep. In the aftermath, he founded [[Exceed]] to conduct research on the mineral and managed to extend his lifespan with the mist released by Laquium.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
[[File:Laquium.png|thumb|left|250px|The "Treasure of Eternity", a Laquium shard owned by [[Exceed]]]]
Laquium was first mentioned by Gibeon in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', while he mused about his desire to reach Laqua.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Friede returned to his previous workplace, Exceed, and asked his former boss, [[Cervantis]], about the "Treasure of Eternity", something he had learned of while working there, suspecting a connection to Terapagos, but the man was unable to give him satisfying answers. Later, Friede managed to sneak on the vault where the Treasure of Eternity was being kept, only to find an empty vault labeled "Laquium", establishing the two names refer to the same substance. Unbeknownst to Friede, the responsible for taking the Laquium away was [[Spinel]].

In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', Spinel interrupted [[Liko]] and [[Amethio]]'s battle and, as an experiment, used the mist generated by the Laquium sample he stolen on his {{p|Umbreon}}, causing it to go berserk, grow more powerful, and defeat Amethio's {{Tera}}stallized {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} in a single hit. Terapagos, angered by the sight of Laquium, transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and destroyed the sample with its power, forcing Umbreon back into its normal state in the process. Reflecting upon this, Spinel concluded that Terapagos and Laquium must be polar opposites.
[[File:Pagogo Six Heroes Laquium HZ089.png|thumb|250px|[[Pagogo]] and the [[Six Heroes]] attempting to purify Laqua from Laquium]]
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and the Explorers arrived at Laqua in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]''. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Gibeon arrived at the epicenter of the Laquium spread and inserted a shard into his suit, allowing him to regain the use of his legs. Then, he had Zygarde mine a large cluster of Laquium crystals, only to witness as Lucius emerged from it, still alive. Despite Lucius's warnings, Gibeon still allows the Explorers to excavate the Laquium Core and activate it for unlimited Laquium production. Later, the Six Heroes lent Pagogo their strength, allowing it to transform into its Stellar Form and seemingly purify Laqua from the Laquium in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', causing Gibeon and Lucius to disappear. Spinel, however, managed to store some of the mist into Laquium Spheres, which he then promptly used on the Six Heroes, causing them (except for Rayquaza) to go berserk and wreak havoc across Laqua.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', [[Dot]] helped [[Roy]] in tracking down a wild {{p|Slaking}} that was possibly under the effects of Laquium, which was thought to have been completely destroyed a year ago. Roy and [[Ult]], with further help from [[Captain Pikachu]], eventually managed to take it down. This discovery led Roy to travel to [[Kanto]]'s [[Indigo Academy]] to find Liko and ask for her help.
[[File:Exceed Strong Sphere.png|thumb|left|250px|The [[Strong Sphere]], a Laquium-based device]]
On their travels, Liko and Roy found more instances of Pokémon being affected by Laquium, far away from Laqua: two wild {{p|Steelix}} in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', a wild {{p|Vileplume}} in ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', and even a trained Pokémon, [[Karatō]]'s {{p|Scovillain}}, in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''. Such instances became known as "Laquium Signs" and were resolved by exhausting the affected Pokémon and having Pagogo, in its Terastal Form, purify the Laquium away.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Liko and Roy infiltrated Exceed's [[Exceed Testing Center|Testing Center]] to investigate their connection to Laquium. They witnessed the corporation conducting a public test with [[Strong Sphere]]s, with [[Dash]] using it on her {{p|Swanna}}, allowing it to overpower foes even at a massive disadvantage, but causing it to become extremely weakened afterwards. Liko and Roy were then spotted amongst the crowd by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] and challenged to an exhibition match, but the battle ended quickly after the Explorers used Strong Spheres of their own on their Pokémon. From this point onwards, the Strong Spheres were most commonly seen used by the Explorers, such as [[Indi]], [[Rubina]], and [[Chalce]]. In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', a more advanced version of the Strong Sphere, the Super Strong Sphere, was revealed and experimented on the captured Six Heroes.

In [[HZ122]], Friede confirmed, from first-hand experience, that Laquium still exists in Laqua, since the Core wasn't completely purified during the events of ''Where the Adventure Leads''.
{{-}}

==Effects and characteristics==
[[File:Spinel Umbreon Laquium.png|thumb|250px|[[Spinel]]'s {{p|Umbreon}} under the effects of Laquium's mist]]
Laquium's main characteristic is its ability to generate a pink mist when subjected to strong external impact, which has different effects on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[human]]s, and [[Flora of the Pokémon world|plants]]. When affecting a Pokémon, the Laquium mist can draw out its latent power, while turning them vicious and enraged in the process. A Pokémon affected by Laquium can be identified by the pink aura surrounding its body, which can also be seen when the Pokémon uses a [[move]]. Depending on its use, Laquium can extend the lifespan of humans, keeping their bodies younger for longer periods of time. Its mist may also stimulate the growth of plants, but overexposure to the mist can actually start devastating land, causing plants to die and wither away. [[Mollie]] theorizes that Laquium's power is based on forcing the activation of cell replacement, constantly creating a strong, renewed body. It was also shown to be extremely unstable, primarily near the Core, as demonstrated when [[Gibeon]] tried digging it out of the ground. In turn, this caused the crystals to grow and expand uncontrollably around the area, spreading a mist so dense into the air that it formed a huge pillar that blocked out the sun.

Laquium appears to have a connection to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Terapagos}}, as both seem to be opposing forces. Terapagos seems to be the only way to purify the Laquium from an affected Pokémon, which it can do in either its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal or Stellar Form}}. While Terapagos was not able to completely purify the Laquium from Laqua in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', it has been stated to be able to by [[Diana]] and [[Briar]], though only after resonating with eighteen different {{Tera|Tera Type}}s from Pokémon at the level of the [[Six Heroes]].

[[Spinel]] has used Laquium and the mist it releases to create a series of devices capable of empowering Pokémon, at the cost of leaving them in an agressive state that causes great pain as the battle goes on. The first iteration was the prototypical Laquium Sphere, which then led to the mass production of the [[Strong Sphere]] by [[Exceed]] and, later, to the further upgraded Super Strong Sphere.

==Trivia==
* Laquium's effects on Pokémon are similar to that of the substance [[R]] from the [[Detective Pikachu series]], as both substances can empower and strengthen Pokémon, but also force them into a pained and rampaging state.
** The effects are also similar to the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] phenomenon featured in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
* In [[HZ122]], [[Friede]] claims the creation of Laquium was an astronomically rare event.

Where did you get Sandy's Finnish name from? Sandy's debut episode isn't out on the Finnish Pokémon TV yet. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:11, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
:The episodes from [[SM093]] to [[SM127]] were released in Viaplay today. [[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 20:18, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
::A paid service, huh? I guess I'll just have to wait until the episodes come out in Pokémon TV. Feel free to add the Finnish episode titles to Bulbapedia if you want. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:20, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

== Voice actors ==

If you are going to add or change a voice actor, you must have a reliable source. In this case, from the voice actor themselves via social media, email, or their own personal website (if they have any of the three). Credits and "sounds like" are not credible as the former doesn't actually say who voiced who, and the latter is prone for errors as other voice actors may be able to produce a similar sound.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 17:59, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

:So the information is not missing because contributors are slow, but because they make their research carefully and patiently? That makes it sound almost like there is nothing for me to do in Bulbapedia if there are already people focusing on subjects I wish to edit. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 18:26, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

== Scarlet Book translation ==

Sorry about reverting you adding the translation to the Finnish name of the Scarlet Book. Didn't notice you had just put it there. Do you want me to restore it, or are you fine with it not being there? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:14, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

:I can restore it myself. I feel like it's necessary to be there since non-Finnish people should undestand that "punainen" means basic red rather than scarlet red. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 15:19, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

:Oh, never mind. You already did restore it. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 15:21, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

The '''Scarlet Book''' (Japanese: '''スカーレットブック''' ''Scarlet Book'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is exclusive to {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}. Its counterpart in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}} is the [[Violet Book]]. It is a written account of the Area Zero Expedition's journey into the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] and what they found there. According to Professor [[Raifort]], while it was initially very popular, reception towards it eventually soured, with the public claiming the great treasures and [[Paradox Pokémon|bizarre creatures]] in Area Zero were too fantastical to possibly be real, eventually being seen as nothing more than fiction.

A copy of the book can be read in the reception area of Naranja Academy on one of the shelves immediately to the right of the entrance.

====The Great Crater of Paldea====
:''"A photograph from the survey team's point of ingress to the crater, which is visible in the background. Luck favored us with fine weather, making for a smooth outset. But clouds obscured the crater's distant depths, where the treasure of legend is said to lie. Now, onward and downward."''

====The Adventure into Area Zero====
:''"Within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] lies the mysterious [[Area Zero]]—a place home to such landscapes, such plant life, and such Pokémon as we had never seen. It is inhospitable to human life, and as such, I suspect something altogether unknown to humankind sleeps in its depths."''
:''"A photograph of a spot where the survey team rested on day two of the expedition. Note the strange symbols inscribed in the ground here—were they left by explorers in the time of the Paldean Empire, or could they be older still? Regardless, they seemed as if they must hold some meaning."''

====Area Zero: Cartograph====
:''"Ledges form a spiral down the inner walls of Area Zero, offering a path of descent. Vegetation and sources of water are here as well. Legends tell that precious stones or wondrous fruits have long slept in Area Zero's depths, protected by some manner of guardian."''

====Pokémon of Area Zero====
:''"Sketches by a survey team member."''
:''"Surprisingly, the Pokémon species we observed in the upper strata of Area Zero seemed little different from those seen outside the crater."''
:''"Now and then, we heard unfamiliar [[cry|cries]] from the lower strata."''

====Monsters of Area Zero====
:''"As we descended further into Area Zero, we began to catch glimpses of mysterious Pokémon—though we wondered if these huge, ferocious beasts were indeed Pokémon at all. One of our team suffered a brutal blow from such a beast and was mortally wounded, forcing us to retreat for a time."''
:''"A member of the survey team captured this photograph by chance. I notice a passing resemblance to the Pokémon known as {{p|Donphan}}, yet differences such as its sheer size and the shape of its back set it apart—as do its {{p|Great Tusk|great tusks}}."''

====Herba Mystica====
:''"Area Zero was home to wondrous herbs that instantly impart vigor when eaten. We dubbed them [[Herba Mystica]] and attempted to grow some in areas around Paldea. However, before we could harvest, the herbs were eaten by Pokémon—which in turn grew large and strong. We call these [[Titan Pokémon]]."''

====Mysterious Plates====
:''"During our descent into Area Zero, we came across a buried metal plate inscribed with a strange symbol. We attempted to shave off a piece of the plate but failed to leave even a scratch. Even determining the nature of the metal seems beyond modern science. We know not why the inscription was made, let alone how."''

====The Legendary Treasure====
:''"Countless days into our descent, we reached at last the very depths of the Great Crater. There we found a cave with formations of gemstone, shining blindingly bright as far as we could see. Perhaps that strange light itself is the guardian said to watch over treasure deep within the crater."''

====An Imagined Pokémon====
:''"A drawing of a fantastical Pokémon as envisioned by our sketch artist. The size and ferocity of the strange Pokémon that dwell in Area Zero's lower reaches tickled the artist's imagination, prompting this sketch of what other species that inhabit these depths might look like."''

The Scarlet Book first appeared in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', being read by [[Chalce]] in [[Naranja Academy]]'s lobby. After she had put it back to its shelf, [[Dot]] picked it up and started reading it, with {{an|Terapagos}} becoming interested in one image in particular. Dot later borrowed the book and showed it to [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as well. In [[HZ057|the next episode]], Dot showed the book to [[Friede]], [[Geeta]], and [[Clavell]] as well, with Geeta identifying the image Terapagos had become interested in as what's said to be Terapagos's {{form|Terapagos|third form}}. Afterwards, Dot returned the book to the library.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', [[Briar]] was revealed to own the original copy of the Scarlet Book, which she showed to Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede while describing her ancestor [[Heath]]'s expedition into [[Area Zero]].

In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', [[Lucius]] was revealed to have owned a copy of the Scarlet Book 100 years ago, which gave him the knowledge about {{p|Terapagos}}.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Briar showed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] a sketch from the Scarlet Book, depicting a Pokémon that shared some characteristics with {{p|Entei}}, which she used as evidence to support the Entei sightings made within Area Zero.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', during the battle Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Lucius]]'s "{{TP|Lucius|Entei}}", thanks to its earth-gouging fire pillars, Briar discovered the Pokémon's real name, being listed in the Scarlet Book as {{P|Gouging Fire}}.

In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', it was revealed that [[Diana]] obtained a copy of the Scarlet Book for herself. With the study she did on the book, Diana assumed that for Pagogo to be able to release its maximum power and eliminate Laquium, it would be necessary for Terapagos to be with a Pokémon of each of the 18 existing types.

The '''Scarlet Book''' (Japanese: '''スカーレットブック''' ''Scarlet Book'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is exclusive to {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}. Its counterpart in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}} is the [[Violet Book]]. It is a written account of the Area Zero Expedition's journey into the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] and what they found there. According to Professor [[Raifort]], while it was initially very popular, reception towards it eventually soured, with the public claiming the great treasures and [[Paradox Pokémon|bizarre creatures]] in Area Zero were too fantastical to possibly be real, eventually being seen as nothing more than fiction.

A copy of the book can be read in the reception area of Naranja Academy on one of the shelves immediately to the right of the entrance.

===Effect===

===Text===
A copy of the Scarlet Book can be found and read at the lobby of [[Naranja Academy]].

====The Great Crater of Paldea====
:''"A photograph from the survey team's point of ingress to the crater, which is visible in the background. Luck favored us with fine weather, making for a smooth outset. But clouds obscured the crater's distant depths, where the treasure of legend is said to lie. Now, onward and downward."''

====The Adventure into Area Zero====
:''"Within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] lies the mysterious [[Area Zero]]—a place home to such landscapes, such plant life, and such Pokémon as we had never seen. It is inhospitable to human life, and as such, I suspect something altogether unknown to humankind sleeps in its depths."''
:''"A photograph of a spot where the survey team rested on day two of the expedition. Note the strange symbols inscribed in the ground here—were they left by explorers in the time of the Paldean Empire, or could they be older still? Regardless, they seemed as if they must hold some meaning."''

====Area Zero: Cartograph====
:''"Ledges form a spiral down the inner walls of Area Zero, offering a path of descent. Vegetation and sources of water are here as well. Legends tell that precious stones or wondrous fruits have long slept in Area Zero's depths, protected by some manner of guardian."''

====Pokémon of Area Zero====
:''"Sketches by a survey team member."''
:''"Surprisingly, the Pokémon species we observed in the upper strata of Area Zero seemed little different from those seen outside the crater."''
:''"Now and then, we heard unfamiliar [[cry|cries]] from the lower strata."''

====Monsters of Area Zero====
:''"As we descended further into Area Zero, we began to catch glimpses of mysterious Pokémon—though we wondered if these huge, ferocious beasts were indeed Pokémon at all. One of our team suffered a brutal blow from such a beast and was mortally wounded, forcing us to retreat for a time."''
:''"A member of the survey team captured this photograph by chance. I notice a passing resemblance to the Pokémon known as {{p|Donphan}}, yet differences such as its sheer size and the shape of its back set it apart—as do its {{p|Great Tusk|great tusks}}."''

====Herba Mystica====
:''"Area Zero was home to wondrous herbs that instantly impart vigor when eaten. We dubbed them [[Herba Mystica]] and attempted to grow some in areas around Paldea. However, before we could harvest, the herbs were eaten by Pokémon—which in turn grew large and strong. We call these [[Titan Pokémon]]."''

====Mysterious Plates====
:''"During our descent into Area Zero, we came across a buried metal plate inscribed with a strange symbol. We attempted to shave off a piece of the plate but failed to leave even a scratch. Even determining the nature of the metal seems beyond modern science. We know not why the inscription was made, let alone how."''

====The Legendary Treasure====
:''"Countless days into our descent, we reached at last the very depths of the Great Crater. There we found a cave with formations of gemstone, shining blindingly bright as far as we could see. Perhaps that strange light itself is the guardian said to watch over treasure deep within the crater."''

====An Imagined Pokémon====
:''"A drawing of a fantastical Pokémon as envisioned by our sketch artist. The size and ferocity of the strange Pokémon that dwell in Area Zero's lower reaches tickled the artist's imagination, prompting this sketch of what other species that inhabit these depths might look like."''

====A Phantom Memory====
:''"During our exploration of Area Zero's depths, I—[[Heath]]—strayed from the team and was later found unconscious. When awoken, I could only recall speaking with someone in an unfamiliar place, as if in a dream. I was found holding the page shown here. The handwriting is my own, but I have no memory of writing this."''

Great Crater of Paldea

The '''Great Crater of Paldea''' (Japanese: '''パルデアの大穴''' ''Great Pit of Paldea'') is the massive crater located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]] that was formed over one million years ago. Located inside the crater is [[Area Zero]], where the [[Terastal phenomenon]] originated from.

==Geography==
The Great Crater of Paldea is surrounded by a ring of mountains, where wild {{p|Garchomp}} and {{p|Magnezone}} can be found. Nestled in the northwestern mountains near [[Medali]] is the [[Zero Gate]], the primary gateway for those wishing to descend into Area Zero, though most people are forbidden from entering. An official school rule forbids any student of the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} from entering Area Zero due to the aggressive {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that live there and the hazardous geography of the area. After accessing Area Zero once, the player may also access Area Zero by climbing the mountains and dropping through the cloud cover.

== Checking whether the release dates are correct ==

Was this episode really released in US as part of the first patch of ''Rising Hope'' season? When UK had the first batch released, this episode wasn't part of it. And I haven't heard this episode being included in the first batch released in Finland either. --[[User:CAJH|CAJH]] ([[User talk:CAJH|talk]]) 02:43, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

'''Wyatt B. Yessler''' (Japanese: '''ソーティム・ダ・ヨティム''' ''Sohtim da Yotim''), known as '''Wy-Yes''' (Japanese: '''ソーダヨ''' ''Sohdayo'') for short, is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]''. He is a journalist who writes for {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} and also a former member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

==Character==
Wy-Yes has a habit of mixing real facts with some "exaggerated" ones, which makes some people doubt the veracity of what he says. For this, he has a catchphrase; "The truth is what we make it". Wy-Yes also has a complicated relationship with [[Mollie]] because of this. He also cuts people off when they're about to ask him a question, wrongly assuming they were going to ask questions about himself to which he'll answer in great detail. His high energy gets mixed reactions, some loving it and some hating it.

Crystal Pool

2026-02-07T22:14:44Z

CAJH: /* In other languages */

{{Infobox location
|image=Crystal Pool.png
|type=kitakami
|location_name=Crystal Pool
|japanese_name=てらす池
|translated_name=Illuminating Pool
|location=[[Oni Mountain]] Summit
|region=Kitakami
|generation={{gen|IX}}
|image_size=300

}}

The '''Crystal Pool''' (Japanese: '''てらす池''' ''Illuminating Pool'') is a large pool located at [[Oni Mountain]] summit in the center of [[Kitakami]]. It is one of the [[Six Wonders of Kitakami]].

==Origin==
The Crystal Pool of [[Kitakami]] directly reflects the Terastal phenomenon found in [[Paldea]]. Its plaque notes it was "infused with crystalline material from an unknown source." Briar's research reveals that "the Crystal Pool's waters emit energy of the same wavelength as Terastal energy."

Kitakami folklore about {{p|Ogerpon}} deepens this connection. A man journeyed to Kitakami from a distant land alongside Ogerpon and brought with him gems from somewhere far away. Because their appearance was considered unusual for the standards of Kitakami, they lived apart from the village, settling in a den inside [[Oni Mountain]], the very mountain where the Crystal Pool is located. The village mask-maker then crafted four masks using these gems, enabling the pair to blend in during the village festival. This origin implies that the Terastal crystals found their way to Kitakami through human agency. Moreover, the presence of {{p|Glimmora}}, a species otherwise exclusive to [[Area Zero]], at the Crystal Pool reinforces its role as a mini–Area Zero.

In conclusion, the most likely origin of the Crystal Pool lies in the arrival of foreign gems, arguably Terastal crystals from Paldea. Brought to Kitakami in ancient times and infused into the pool, they seeded the waters with [[Terastal energy]], transforming it into a secondary hotspot that mirrors the properties of Paldea's Area Zero.

==Geography==
The Crystal Pool is an area at the top of [[Oni Mountain]]. A small, man-made bridge has been built around a longer strip of water. Glowing crystals, like the ones found in [[Area Zero]] can be found at the bottom of the pool, rising upwards to the surface. When travelling there with [[Carmine]], during the events of [[The Teal Mask]], she mentions a rumor about the Crystal Pool where you can happen to meet people here who have passed away. [[Briar]] refers to the area as "sacred ground" upon her arrival. According to her, the crystals emit energy of the same wavelength as {{Tera}}stal energy. She doesn't understand why this is the case, but hopes to figure that out to stabilize the [[Terastal phenomenon]] in regions other than [[Paldea]]. After Carmine leaves, Briar also mentions that her research here could bring her one step closer to {{p|Terapagos}}, suggesting the Pokémon and the area itself may be related.

Sparkling [[Crystal Cluster]]s can be found within the pool, with the player receiving one after being attacked by a {{p|Milotic}} during the events of The Teal Mask.

==Places of interest==
===Lake caves===
On the far side of the area, there's a small hole beneath the ground that the player can enter. It will take them to an underground lake beneath the river, where Pokémon such as Feebas may spawn.

===Post DLC===
{{spoilers}}
Following the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], a strange mist will appear at the Crystal Pool when the player returns there. The player must have {{ga|Terapagos}} either in their [[party]] or [[Pokémon Storage System]] for the cutscene to activate. The player, as well as {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, is then able to meet the real Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} from some point in space-time, who has not yet completed their time machine. After a brief conversation implying that Paradox Pokémon come from parallel timelines, the player will be prompted to exchange [[Briar's Book]] for the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book. The player cannot deny the request made by Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} to trade books. Following this scene, the player will be returned to a permanently different [[main menu]], where the Book will be visible again, featuring a new arrangement of the main Pokémon theme.

Even before this point, the player is able to read the [[Area Zero journals|Professor's notes]] in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], noting that they received a white book from a child in an eastern land. Since the Professor doesn't seem to have given Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} their name yet at this point in their life, (referring to them as the {{p|Koraidon|Winged King}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}{{sup/9|V}}) it is implied that this encounter inadvertently triggered a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} by telling them what their Legendary Pokémon was called and inspiring the Professor to continue their research on Area Zero or possibly creating an AI, if the player references it in their dialogue.

Talking to [[Arven]] in his dorm at the Academy (provided the player has formed [[Bond|close bonds]] with him) reveals different dialogue about the location of the book as a result of this interaction.

==Special encounters==
After [[Yukito and Hideko|Kieran and Carmine's grandpa]] offers to fix {{ga|Ogerpon}}'s mask, the player and Carmine head to the Crystal Pool to obtain a [[Crystal Cluster]], where a {{p|Milotic}} ambushes them. Milotic's stats are different if the player has not yet finished {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|The Way Home}}, but it always has 20 {{IV}}s in each stat. It cannot be caught, and is coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

After it is defeated, it drops a [[Crystal Cluster]].

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
The Crystal Pool was first mentioned in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', where [[Carmine]] revealed that [[Briar]] was currently there. In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] arrived there and met Briar following a brief {{pkmn|battle}} against a {{Tera}}stallized {{p|Milotic}}. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members subsequently shared with Briar what they knew about {{p|Terapagos}}, and Briar, in return, shared with them the story of her ancestor, [[Heath]], and her research into Terapagos. After nightfall, they visited the shore of the Crystal Pool in the hopes that the legend about the place allowing one to meet those who have died was true and they'd be able to meet [[Lucius]]. However, nothing happened, so the group left Briar's camp the next morning.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede returned to the Crystal Pool alongside [[Diana]], hoping to learn more about one of Lucius's fellow adventurers, [[Rystal]]. This time, the pond's rumored power worked and brought Rystal in front of them, along with her baby. From her they learned that {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} had originally been her partner Pokémon. When she referred to her baby as {{OBP|Layla|Horizons}}, Dianne identified it as the name of her mother. Rystal then revealed that Layla was the daughter of her and Lucius, meaning that Liko was Lucius's direct descendant, much to her shock. In [[HZ075|the following episode]], Rystal told everyone how the original [[Explorers]], which consisted of her, Lucius, and [[Gibeon]], had discovered the [[Laqua]] paradise and what they had experienced there. Just before she and Layla disappeared back into the past, Rystal told Liko to take care of Terapagos. As such, Terapagos subsequently requested to be {{pkmn2|caught}} by Liko, which she happily agreed to.

==Trivia==
* The overall layout of the Crystal Pool resembles a smaller version of [[Area Zero]], with the location resembling a crater surrounded by a ring of jagged mountain-like rocks, akin to the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], and containing a lower subsurface area in the center filled with crystals, similar to Area Zero's depths.
* Although it is never shown to the player in-game, the {{p|Milotic}} in Crystal Pool's special encounter is programmed to have a {{t|Ghost}} {{Tera|Tera Type}}, which may be a reference to the fact that the Crystal Pool can allow one to meet the dead.
** Incidentally, in {{aniseries|HZ}}, the Milotic that appears out of the Crystal Pool does Terastallize into a Ghost Tera Type.

'''Area Zero''' (Japanese: '''エリアゼロ''' ''Area Zero'') is an area located within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] at the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. It is initially accessed from the [[Zero Gate]]. After the {{player}} has entered Area Zero for the first time, they may also enter it by falling through the clouds over the Great Crater of Paldea.

The area is strictly off-limits to most people, though the [[Flying Taxi]] service still covers it. An official school rule, explicitly stated by Director [[Clavell]], forbids any student of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} from entering Area Zero during the Treasure Hunt due to the aggressive {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that live there and the hazardous geography of the area. It contains various [[wild Pokémon]], including [[Paradox Pokémon]], that usually cannot be encountered anywhere else. Additionally, it is where the [[Terastal phenomenon]] originated; [[Tera Orb]]s are made out of the crystals found in Area Zero. Furthermore, if the player Terastallizes their own Pokémon within Area Zero, the Tera Orb will automatically be recharged at the end of the {{pkmn|battle}}.

During the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], the player is accompanied by [[Briar]], [[Carmine]], and [[Kieran]] to the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], a location below the [[Zero Lab]], and by extension, Area Zero.

==In the core series games==
===History===
[[File:Lower Area Zero.png|thumb|left|250px|The depths of Area Zero]]
====Background====
The [[Area Zero Underdepths]] were formed 2,000,000 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] by seismic shifts. These shifts also brought {{p|Terapagos}} to the brink of extinction. However, [[Terapagos (game)|one Terapagos]] was able to survive by transforming into hard crystal and hibernating deep underground.

Over the next two million years, numerous cave-ins caused by further seismic shifts and erosion formed Area Zero as it's known today. Sometime during this prehistoric period, strange artifacts were left behind. A symbol was engraved into the floor of a cavern, and a large steel plate containing more symbols was left underground. Their exact origin and meaning is unknown.

At least 1,000,000 years prior to in-game events, the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] was formed surrounding Area Zero, separating Area Zero from the rest of [[Paldea]].

2,000 years prior to in-game events, the Paldean Empire attempted many expeditions into Area Zero, starting off the Great Age of Exploration. This era lasted for approximately 1,000 years, but none of the attempts were successful and eventually led to the empire's decline.

200 years prior to in-game events, [[Heath]] and the Area Zero Expedition team reached the bottom of the location, being the first ones in recorded history to ever achieve the feat. Heath proceeded to take many notes on the area, the [[Herba Mystica]], the various wild Pokémon, and his first encounter with [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He recorded his research in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, but ended up being accused of fabricating his story, and the whole expedition was widely discredited by the general public. The expedition team originally retrieved the Herba Mystica for a research project, but this failed due to local Pokémon consuming the herbs and becoming [[Titan Pokémon]].

Four research stations were built inside the crater over time, and 60 years prior to in-game events, the [[Terastal phenomenon]] was discovered in Area Zero. This phenomenon was limited in function, and couldn't be used outside of Area Zero.

10 years prior to in-game events, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} started an expedition into Area Zero, setting up the [[Zero Lab]]. The professor found a way to activate the Terastal phenomenon outside the crater through the use of [[Tera Orb]]s. They moved permanently into the Zero Lab to continue research on Area Zero and Paradox Pokémon as part of the Tera Project, leaving their son [[Arven]] behind to take care of himself. At one point during their research, they got sent to the future via the [[Crystal Pool]] in [[Kitakami]], where they received a [[Briar's Book|white volume]] from the [[Player character|player]]. With the help of this book, they created a [[time machine]] that allowed them to bring [[Paradox Pokémon]] to their timeline, thus populating Area Zero. During a territorial struggle between two different {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, the professor was killed by the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|most aggressive one]] while trying to save the {{ga|Koraidon|friendliest}} {{ga|Miraidon|one}}.

At some point, Arven entered Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for his {{p|Mabosstiff}} to be attacked by a creature described as "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}}/"metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. This injured it to the point where all attempts at using traditional medicine failed to heal it.

===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
=====The Way Home=====
After being called by Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} in "Path of Legends", the {{player}}, [[Arven]], [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] go to the [[Great Crater of Paldea|great crater]] while riding on {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.
[[File:Scarlet Koraidon Apex Build.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Koraidon}} transforming into its {{form|Koraidon|Apex Build}} to battle [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]]]
[[File:Violet Miraidon Ultimate Mode.png|thumb|left|250px|{{ga|Miraidon}} transforming into its {{form|Miraidon|Ultimate Mode}} to battle [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]]]
As the group travels to the four research stations around the area to unlock the door to the professor's laboratory, they encounter primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon, which are revealed to have been [[Time travel|brought to the present day from another era]] by a [[time machine]] created by the professor. At the laboratory's entrance, some of these [[Paradox Pokémon]] confront the player and their friends, forcing the player to enter the [[Zero Lab]] alone while their friends fight off the Pokémon outside.

Inside the laboratory, the player discovers that the professor is actually a robot, created by the real professor before they were killed by a second and more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The player also discovers that their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} is the same one that the professor attempted to protect prior to their death. The {{wp|artificial intelligence}} within the robot, despite being an exact copy of the professor's memories and knowledge, opposes the original professor's plan to keep the time machine running, as it would threaten to destroy Paldea's ecosystem with an overflow of Paradox Pokémon. However, because the AI is programmed to protect the time machine, the player is forced to battle it against its will.

Once the AI has been defeated, the player is rejoined by their friends, and a program called the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over the robot professor, as well as locking all [[Poké Ball]]s not marked with the professor's ID. Finally regaining its ability to battle, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} confronts and defeats the other, more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, putting the Paradise Protection Protocol to an end. The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the latter cannot be shut down as long as the AI remains present. To solve this problem, the AI travels to another era using the time machine, bidding the player and their friends farewell as it disappears. After the time machine shuts down permanently, the player and their friends decide to take a slow and scenic route back to [[Mesagoza]].

=====[[The Indigo Disk]]=====
After gaining the permission from [[Paldea]]'s [[Pokémon League (Paldea)|Pokémon League]] to go into a new expedition to Area Zero, [[Briar]] invites the {{player}}, [[Carmine]], and [[Kieran]] to serve as her protectors. They eventually reach the bottom and use [[Geeta]]'s [[Indigo Disk]] to redirect the [[Zero Lab]] elevator, allowing them to go deeper down into the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] to find {{ga|Terapagos}}.

==Places of interest==
===Research Stations===
There are four Research Stations located around Area Zero. Constructed 87 years prior to the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, they act as way stations for those surveying Area Zero. Upon entering Area Zero for the first time, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} requests that the {{player}}, [[Arven]], [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] visits all four Research Stations to deactivate the locks of the [[Zero Lab]], where they reside. Each of the Research Stations has a [[warp panel]] which can teleport the player to the [[Zero Gate]] or any of the other Research Stations, if they have already been visited. There is also a bed in each, where the player can rest and heal their [[party]].

Each Research Station has journals which describe Professor Sada's{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo's{{sup/9|V}} efforts in studying {{Tera}}stallization, [[Terastal energy]], [[Paradox Pokémon|ancient Pokémon]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Paradox Pokémon|future Pokémon]]{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Terapagos|the being linked to the Terastallization}}.

===Zero Lab===
{{main|Zero Lab}}
The Zero Lab is where Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} conducted their research. It is located at the very bottom of Area Zero. It's also where the Professor built their [[time machine]], allowing them to bring ancient Pokémon{{sup/9|S}}/future Pokémon{{sup/9|V}} to Area Zero. Through the [[Indigo Disk]], the lab's elevator can move down to [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

===Strange symbols===
In a huge cavern, strange symbols have been inscribed into its ground. It's unknown who or what inscribed them there, but [[Heath]] pondered if they could have been left by past explorers sent by the Paldean empire or even older still.

===Metal plate===
A big metallic plate inscribed with symbols similar to Paldea's present day map located in the same cavern the previous strange symbols were inscribed in. The material the plate is made of is extremely resistant and it's unknown how and why it was created.

===Area Zero Underdepths===
[[File:Area Zero Underdepths.png|thumb|200px|The Area Zero's Underdepths]]
{{Main|Area Zero Underdepths}}
Area Zero Underdepths is a large cavern and an extension of Area Zero. It's located about 3,300 feet (1 kilometer) under the surface and appears to have formed about 2,000,000 years ago. It is located under the Zero Lab and by extension, under Area Zero itself. It is solely inhabited by {{p|Glimmet}}, {{p|Glimmora}}, {{p|Carbink}}, and a few wild {{Tera}}stallized Pokémon. It is also where the last of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Terapagos}} slumbers.

The {{player}}, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]], and [[Briar]] went on an expedition there in [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC.

{{missing image|section|needs=Image of Miraidon}}

After finishing {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|The Way Home}}, the player can encounter the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} on a small, raised plateau at the very bottom of Area Zero.

Koraidon will always have an Adamant [[Nature]], while Miraidon will always have a Modest Nature. If defeated, they can be battled again after the game has been rebooted, provided that over one hour has passed in [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Time|internal clock]] since their defeat. They are coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

[[File:Area Zero anime.png|thumb|250px|Area Zero in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===Pokémon Horizons: The Series===
Area Zero was first mentioned in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', where [[Geeta]] revealed that it is managed by the [[Paldea League|Paldea Pokémon League]], and that a Pokémon resembling {{p|Terapagos}} was once sighted there. [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] showed interest in seeing the place in person, but [[Clavell]] revealed that an accident happened there recently, and that entering wasn't possible at the moment. Geeta assured the trio that she'd accompany them there someday.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', in a flashback, [[Briar]] narrated to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] about her ancestor [[Heath]]'s expedition to Area Zero, where he had encountered a Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', in a flashback of 100 years prior to the events of the series, [[Rystal]] reveals to [[Lucius]] that she had found her Terapagos [[Pagogo]] while exploring the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], in Area Zero.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', [[Briar]] contacted the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and informed them that a {{p|Gouging Fire|Pokémon}} resembling {{p|Entei}} had been sighted within Area Zero. They decided to meet with her and travel to Area Zero to try and find Lucius's {{TP|Lucius|Entei}}. In the [[HZ079|following episode]], after emerging victorious together in a [[Triple Battle]] against {{pkmn|Champion|Top Champion}} [[Geeta]], Liko, Roy, and Dot were granted permission to enter Area Zero along with [[Friede]], who had been granted permission on his merits as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. Meanwhile, [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] entered the area illegally in order to monitor the Rising Volt Tacklers's activities.

In ''[[HZ080|Total-lie Awesome Pokémon in Area Zero?!]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede meet up with Briar, as they start their search for Lucius's Entei. However, Roy encounters a wild {{p|Sandy Shocks}} and gets separated from the group. Coral tries to follow, but encounters a wild {{p|Scream Tail}} and teams up with it to battle a {{p|Great Tusk}}. Roy defeats Sandy Shocks and goes to reunite with the group, as he tells the girls and Friede what he saw. Coral accidentally catches Scream Tail, which she nicknames Screamypuff (オニプリン ''Onipurin''), and introduces it to Sidian.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers and Briar finally encounter Lucius's Entei, which was revealed to be a [[Paradox Pokémon]] named {{P|Gouging Fire}} that Lucius and Rystal confused with an Entei. Gouging Fire took Lucius's belt from Liko and they started a battle. When Dot took it back, they passed the test, and Gouging Fire joined them and the other heroes. At the end, Pagogo and the five heroes summoned the remaining one, the [[Black Rayquaza]].

In ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers started their battle with the Black Rayquaza, using Area Zero's terrain to their advantage to hit it from all sides. Eventually, only {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} was left, forcing Pagogo to step up and join Liko to battle Rayquaza as well. Pagogo then shared its energy with Crocalor, {{Tera|Terastallizing}} it and allowing them to perform the final hit before calling Rayquaza back to the Poké Ball. As a result of gathering all Six Heroes, Pagogo regained all of its power and Rayquaza started leading the [[Brave Olivine]] to [[Laqua]].

==Trivia==
* {{DL|Terastal phenomenon|Wild Tera Pokémon}} can only be found in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].
* The [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]] does not list Area Zero as a spawn location for any of the Pokémon that spawn there, and is also the only area in the game without any form of map.
* The Paldean Pokédex states that {{p|Glimmet}} has a "very rare" spawn chance. However, they are quite common in Area Zero - particularly in the deeper portions of the area - despite appearing rarely in the rest of Paldea, potentially implying some connection between Glimmet and Area Zero.
** This connection is reinforced by also commonly being found around the [[Crystal Pool]].
* The fact that {{form|Floette|White Flower}} {{p|Floette}} is the only form that spawns in Area Zero may be referencing the [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]] of [[Professor Sada]]/[[Professor Turo]], due to the fact that white blossoms, specifically the white {{wp|Chrysanthemum}} flower in Japan, symbolize grief, and are often used in funerals.
* Every {{wp|moth}}-based Pokémon present in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} can be found in Area Zero, namely {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Masquerain}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, {{p|Frosmoth}}, {{p|Slither Wing}}{{sup/9|S}}, and {{p|Iron Moth}}{{sup/9|V}}. This may be a reference to moths' perceived attraction to light, given Area Zero's extremely bright surface and caverns filled with glowing crystals. It may also be another reference to death, which moths often symbolize.
**Volcarona is the only Pokémon with Paradox Pokémon relatives to be found in Area Zero and in the same area as them.
* Area Zero is internally referred to as {{wp|Atlantis}} in the game's files.

'''Blueberry Academy''' (Japanese: '''ブルーベリー学園''' ''Blueberry Academy'') is a school located in the seas of the [[Unova]] [[region]].<ref>'''[[Jacq]]''': ''"[Blueberry Academy]'s a school in the Unova region, you know."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]])</ref> It is featured in [[The Indigo Disk]] expansion of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. It is a sister school to [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} located in [[Paldea]]'s [[Mesagoza]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:Blueberry Academy Crest.png|thumb|left|200px|Blueberry Academy crest]]
==={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}===
====[[The Indigo Disk]]====
Unlike the historic [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, Blueberry Academy was established in recent years somewhere in [[Unova]]'s ocean, being accessed through an undersea tunnel. The academy's curriculum puts a particular emphasis on {{pkmn|battle|Pokémon battling}}, with all the students and staff members specializing in [[Double Battle]]s. Additionally, most of its building is located under the ocean, including the classrooms and the famous [[Terarium]]. The school uses its own currency, referred to as [[Blueberry Point]]s, or BP for short.

Following [[Briar]]'s research into the [[Terastal phenomenon]] in [[Paldea]] and [[Kitakami]], she created the Terarium Core, a huge glass orb hanging in the ceilling of the Terarium. Filled with Paldean soil and water from Kitakami's [[Crystal Pool]], it spreads [[Terastal energy]] across the academy, enabling students with [[Tera Orb]]s and certain [[wild Pokémon]] there to use the Terastal phenomenon. After the main story of [[The Indigo Disk]] has been completed, Briar upgrades the Terarium Core with crystals collected from the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], causing wild {{t|Stellar}} Tera Type Pokémon to start appearing in the Terarium.

The player is offered into the academy as an exchange student by [[Cyrano]].

They use a ranking system called the '''BB League''' (Japanese: '''ブルベリーグ''' ''Blueberry League''), whose top five ranking members make up the {{tc|BB League Elite Four}} and {{pkmn|Champion|BB League Champion}}. The BB League Champion also serves as president of the League Club.

A challenger must clear an Elite Four member's [[Elite Trial]] before being allowed to challenge them. Despite being an exchange student, the player is granted the right to challenge the BB League after a majority vote in support from the Elite Four and Champion, which also lets them bypass the lower ranks of the League and become immediately eligible to attempt the Elite Four's trials.

* Flying to another location in Blueberry Academy shows a different [[Flying Taxi]] on the loading screen, featuring {{p|Skarmory}} rather than [[Paldea]]'s {{p|Squawkabilly}} and [[Kitakami]]'s {{p|Noctowl}}.

=== Origin ===
Blueberry Academy may be inspired by the Dragon Palace from the Japanese folktale [[wp:Urashima_Tarō|Urashima Tarō]]. In the tale, the Dragon Palace is described as being underwater and having a garden where scenery from all four seasons could be seen at once.<ref>https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/72/japanese-fairy-tales/4881/the-story-of-urashima-taro-the-fisher-lad/

But, to Urashima, more wonderful than the palace was the garden that surrounded it. Here was to be seen at one time the scenery of the four different seasons; the beauties of summer and winter, spring and autumn, were displayed to the wondering visitor at once.

First, when he looked to the east, the plum and cherry trees were seen in full bloom, the nightingales sang in the pink avenues, and butterflies flitted from flower to flower.

Looking to the south all the trees were green in the fullness of summer, and the day cicala and the night cricket chirruped loudly.

Looking to the west the autumn maples were ablaze like a sunset sky, and the chrysanthemums were in perfection.

Looking to the north the change made Urashima start, for the ground was silver white with snow, and trees and bamboos were also covered with snow and the pond was thick with ice.</ref> Similarly, Blueberry Academy is located partially underwater with the Terarium biomes representing each of the four seasons. This is shown by the presence of all four forms of {{p|Sawsbuck}} within the Terarium, one per each biome (Spring: Savanna, Summer: Coastal, Autumn: Canyon, Winter: Polar).

'''Naranja Academy''' (Japanese: '''オレンジアカデミー''' ''Orange Academy'') is a school located in [[Mesagoza]] in the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. Naranja Academy is exclusive to {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}. It is a sister school to [[Blueberry Academy]] located in [[Unova]]'s ocean.

In {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}}, it is replaced by [[Uva Academy]]. The two schools are essentially the same, with the only differences being that Naranja uses orange imagery where Uva uses grape imagery, Naranja has an orange color scheme where Uva has a purple color scheme, Naranja has the [[Scarlet Book]] where Uva has the [[Violet Book]], and [[Professor Sada]] is an alum of Naranja Academy while [[Professor Turo]] is an alum of Uva Academy.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Naranja Academy Crest.png|thumb|left|200px|Naranja Academy crest]]
===[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]===
Naranja Academy is the oldest school in the [[Paldea]] region—built 805 years ago—and is located in the region's largest city, [[Mesagoza]]. It hosts classes which mostly relate to Pokémon. The school is attended by people from various regions across a wide range of age groups. Children and adults study in the same classes together; some classes are attended with Pokémon as well. The school faculty includes [[Clavell]], the school director; and [[Jacq]], the biology teacher.

In {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}, the {{player}} enrolls at the academy, and meets fellow students such as [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]]. Clavell assigns to the player the independent study project, the Treasure Hunt. Some students of the academy are delinquents, and have formed [[Team Star]].

===Geography===
To get to the academy, students and faculty must climb a large outdoor staircase near the center of Mesagoza with over 150 steps in it, which has been described by students as "the worst staircase in the world." Upon entering the academy, students are greeted to a large entrance with three floors that also serves as the academy's library and general studying area. The most notable book in the library is the [[Scarlet Book]] to the right of the main entrance, which is described as a mysterious tome, and contains a large amount of detail surrounding the various mysteries of the Paldea region. The book was written by the historian [[Heath]] who was aided by his partner {{p|Cyclizar}}, with its contents being the result of an expedition funded by the academy. The tome covers [[Area Zero]] in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], along with the various [[Herba Mystica]] and [[Titan Pokémon]].

The remainder of the lower floor of the library included a book called "Academy Rules and Regulations," which details how students should appear and behave within the academy, along with detailing that the Great Crater of Paldea is a prohibited area for any student's independent study; the "Student Registry," a nearly complete record of the students that have entered the academy and when; a book called "Pokémon Natures" that briefly covers [[Nature]]s; "Status Conditions and Catching Pokémon," which covers how Pokémon that have their HP lowered and Pokémon that have a [[status condition]] are both easier to catch; "Types and Moves I," which briefly goes over [[type]]s and explains the 50% boost from [[Same-type attack bonus|a Pokémon using moves that share the same type as it]]; "Types and Moves II," which details {{Tera}}stallizing and explaining that Pokémon get a 50% boost when using an attack that matches both their original typing and their [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]] when terastallizing; and finally, a book entitled "The Naranja Academy School Song."

The middle floor of the library is made up of two separate wings that are connected only by the upper and lower floors. The left half covers "Art: The Scenic Route," a monthly magazine with an article covering "[[Brassius]], the Verdant Virtuoso;" the June issue of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}, a paranormal magazine that describes mysterious unidentified creatures; a book called "Festivals of Paldea," describing the Olive Harvest Festival in the town of [[Cortondo]]; the book "Appreciating Sunflora," which goes on to cover the connection between {{p|Sunflora}} to the town of [[Artazon]]; and "How to Become a Champion," a book that explains to trainers the requirements for them to reach the rank of {{pkmn|Champion}} in the Paldea region. The right half of the floor covers a magazine called "Paldean Sports Monthly," which details "the Sub-zero Shredder['s]" sixth consecutive win in the [[Montenevera]] Cup and the upcoming [[Glaseado Mountain]] Cup; a magazine called "Sweet Truth," with an article about Cortondo's Patisserie Soapberry, which is owned by [[Katy]]; a magazine called "The Musician's Register," with an article covering [[Ryme]], "The MC of RIP," and the initial passing of her partner Pokémon; and the July issue of Occulture.

The upper floor of the library contains three areas with various books and magazines. The left and right sections are connected on this floor by a central area that is directly above the main desk of the entrance. Bird Pokémon such as {{p|Fletchling}} are seen throughout the floor. The left side of this floor contains the book "Of People and Pokémon," which covers the general history of humans and Pokémon; the August issue of Occulture; and the book "[[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]]," covering the {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|events}} at [[Stow-on-Side]] when the mural in the town was destroyed by a {{p|Copperajah}}, leading to the discovery of [[legendary heroes|a pair of Pokémon statues]] behind the destroyed mural and the true history of [[Galar]]. The central area contains a pamphlet called "Hall of Fame Badges: A Record," which explains the Hall of Fame Badge and those who have been awarded it, including {{prof|Sada}}; and the book "Fine Food from Far Away," which details the [[Pewter Crunchies]], the {{cat|Local specialties|local speciality}} of the [[Kanto]] region's [[Pewter City]], describing its limited popularity due to its appearance and taste. The right section containing the September and October issues of Occulture; and a book called "Charcadet's Adventures," that covers the first half of a battle between {{p|Charcadet}} and a {{p|Gengar}}, along with a decision between two sets of armor that Charcadet must pick from to beat Gengar.

[[File:Naranja Academy anime.png|thumb|250px|Naranja Academy in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''{{aniseries|HZ}}''===
Naranja Academy appeared in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'' in a cameo when [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] visited [[Mesagoza]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], they met one of the academy's students, {{an|Nemona}}.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] enrolled in Naranja Academy as exchange students in order to learn more about {{Tera}}stallization, receiving a [[Tera Orb]] each from [[Geeta]] upon entering. [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]], disguised as students, also enrolled to keep an eye on Liko and {{an|Terapagos}}. Liko's classmate from [[Indigo Academy]], [[Ann]], had also been transferred there and had a {{pkmn|battle}} with Liko before the latter and her friends headed to [[Cortondo]] to start their [[Tera Training]], which, once completed, would give them permission to use Terastallization.

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Flame and Art]]'', it was shown that the Naranja Academy helped [[Brassius]] organize the annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. During the event, [[Hassel]] and Nemona actively participated in the event and Nemona created art for the event's display.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', the students taking part in Tera Training returned to the academy, where it was revealed that each of them would get to participate on a friendly [[Multi Battle]] against a member of the Paldea [[Elite Four]] while teaming up with the [[Gym Leader]] whom they had battled for their Tera Training course, with victory being claimed by defeating one Pokémon from the opposing side. The battles concluded in [[HZ056|the next episode]], after which the students were sent off to conduct the second tests of their training course. Given [[Medali]] was the closest of the destinations designated to Liko, Roy, and Dot, they decided to head there first.

Liko and her friends returned to the academy in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', where Clavell announced the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] for the Tera Training students to participate in, including those who had failed their second test. During the tournament, [[Penny]] told Dot that the [[Explorers]] were hacking Clavell's computer to obtain his data on Terapagos. Dot contacted her friends on the situation, and each of them took on one of the Explorers admins infiltrating the school. While Liko and Roy managed to defeat Sidian and Coral, respectively, Dot failed to stop [[Chalce]] from escaping with the stolen data. Regardless, Clavell thanked Liko for what she has done, and [[Grusha]], having witnessed Liko defending the school and defeating Sidian, changed her previously failed test's results, granting her a passing grade. Afterwards, Liko and Roy were informed that they'd face each other in the tournament.

In [[HZ067|the next episode]], Liko and Roy had their battle, which was the last match of the tournament and became its highlight after Penny had told everyone of Liko and her friends' heroic efforts against the Explorers. During the battle, Roy's {{p|Fuecoco}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, which then proceeded to win the battle for him. Following the conclusion of the Tera Training course, Liko and her friends subsequently left the academy.

In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Raifort mentioned a summer camp held by Naranja Academy in [[Kitakami]] and suggested that Liko and her friends go there to check it out.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Clavell and Geeta stated that despite public opinion about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], they are welcome at the institution and that they have not taken into account the information released by [[Exceed]]. Dot took the opportunity to present a lecture on [[Laquium]] and the [[Strong Sphere]] to them and after this, Jacq joined the group to research this substance.

In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Naranja Academy offers a curriculum focused solely on the Terastal phenomenon, during with students must battle the Paldean Gym Leaders assigned to them by the academy. The Gym Leaders will judge the student based on their use of Terastallization. Moreover, students are not allowed to have Terastal battles with each other during this training course.

[[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]] is centered around three students of Naranja Academy, [[Ohara]], [[Aliquis]], and [[Hohma]], who were enlisted by Director [[Clavell]] in order to create a promotional video displaying the beauty of the academy. After struggling with the project through the miniseries, they ultimately managed to put together a successful video in [[PPW04|the final episode]].

==Trivia==
*The board in Raifort's history classroom shows information [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] the [[Hisui]] region as seen in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, including images of [[Professor Laventon]] and a {{hi|Poké Ball|Hisuian Poké Ball}}.
*In history class, Raifort mentions that the academy was very one-of-a-kind. There is an old saying, "Those seeking knowledge need look no further than the oranges of Paldea."
*In [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[League Club Room]], [[Poppy]] reveals that she'll become a student in the Naranja Academy in the next year now that she's no longer worried about people fearing her strength in Pokémon battles.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Paldea|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Paldea}}
Naranja Academy may be a composite of various landmarks in {{wp|Barcelona}}, such as {{wp|Sagrada Família}}, {{wp|Hospital de Sant Pau}}, {{wp|La Model (Barcelona)|La Model}}, and {{wp|Park Güell}}. The arched bridges on the side resembles {{wp|Roman aqueduct}}, particular with the {{wp|Aqueduct of Segovia}}.

Its age may allude to the {{wp|University of Salamanca}} in Spain and the {{wp|University of Coimbra}} in Portugal. Both of which are the oldest universities in the Iberian Peninsula that were established in the 13th century.

====Name origin====
''Naranja'' is Spanish for {{wp|orange (fruit)|orange}}.

Six Heroes

[[File:Lucius party.png|thumb|300px|The Six Heroes]]
The '''Six Heroes''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|六英雄|ろくえいゆう}}''' ''Six Heroes'') are a [[Party|group]] of Pokémon that once belonged to the Ancient Adventurer, [[Lucius]]. Each of them was caught within an [[Ancient Poké Ball]] by Lucius, which were all scattered across the various [[region]]s of the [[Pokémon world]] after they were separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}} 100 years ago. Gathering the Six Heroes was the main goal of both the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and the [[Explorers]] so they could reach the sealed [[Laquium]] in [[Laqua]] for their different reasons.

Each of them had some of [[Pagogo]]'s [[Terastal energy|energy]] passed to them so they could help it seal Laquium away in a giant energy barrier to protect the world from it, which greatly weakened Pagogo in the process. As of ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', all heroes were gathered by the Rising Volt Tacklers and were put under [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]'s care. As a result, Pagogo's power was fully restored by them, which allowed it to unseal the Laquium.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', the Six Heroes were released from their Ancient Poké Balls when Lucius passed away, but unfortunately, they went berserk due to [[Spinel]]'s [[Strong Sphere|Laquium sphere]], except for the [[Black Rayquaza]], who wasn't affected by the mist. As a result, they separated from Liko and Roy. In the aftermath, the heroes, except Rayquaza, were captured by the Explorers and are currently being contained in restraining barriers.

In [[HZ110]], the Explorers had the five captive Heroes in a trap for the Rising Volt Tacklers, using the Super Strong Spheres to push them to their limit.

In HZ125, the Six Heroes are rescued from the Explorers by the younger Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio and were released back into the wild where they would be safe from the Explorers.

==Members==
===Rayquaza===

After separating from its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Rayquaza, inside its [[Ancient Poké Ball]], ended washing up on the shoreline of an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in [[Kanto]], where it was found by [[Roy's grandfather]], who later gave it to [[Roy]]. It would not open until [[Liko]]'s [[Pagogo|pendant]] reacted to it in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', releasing Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', it's revealed that [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde]] sent a message for it to find a worthy trainer to inherit the Six Heroes and [[Pagogo]], who it found in the form of Liko and Roy. It is the first of the Six Heroes that the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] encountered on their journey, and the sixth and last one to join them in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', being placed under [[Roy]]'s care.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a major recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Veilstone City]] who was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s main [[rival]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

==History==
===Pre-series===
Paul started his {{pkmn|journey}} with his {{TP|Paul|Turtwig}} throughout [[Sinnoh]], having been inspired by his older brother [[Reggie]]'s own travels.

In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', it was revealed that, while Paul was still a beginning Trainer, he watched Reggie lose to {{an|Brandon|Pyramid King Brandon}}, thus costing him a victory of the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Afterwards, Paul became determined to become more powerful. Like his brother, Paul traveled through [[Hoenn]], [[Johto]], and Kanto, participating in their respective {{pkmn|League Conference}}s, but failing to win any of them, before returning to Sinnoh.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Paul debuted briefly in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', although he was formally introduced in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', where he captured three {{p|Starly}} but released two of them after finding out they didn't know {{m|Aerial Ace}}. He challenged {{Ash}} to a three-on-three {{pkmn|battle}}. After the battle resulted in a tie, Paul {{pkmn2|released}} the third {{p|Starly}} he {{pkmn2|caught}}, writing it off as weak, and walked off.

In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', he defeated Ash in a Single Battle after meeting him along the way when exploring [[Bewilder Forest]]. He caught his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} in the forest. During the episode, he insulted Ash and especially his {{AP|Turtwig}} by calling it pathetic, sparking their rivalry. At this point, Ash realized Paul's strategy of disregarding Pokémon and then releasing them if they did not meet his expectations. He also commented that he would not lose to Paul again.

In ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', Paul then battled the [[Oreburgh Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Roark]] and managed to win the {{Badge|Coal}}. Although he stayed to watch Ash's first battle against Roark in the [[DP016|next episode]], he walked off. His style of indiscriminately releasing weak Pokémon was shown again as he gave the {{p|Azumarill}} he used against Roark to a kid in the [[Pokémon Center]] after it easily lost to Roark's Geodude despite the 4x type advantage.

In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul challenged the [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Cynthia}} to a [[Full Battle]]. After his first four Pokémon were easily defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], he surrendered.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', he was a participant in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where he was partnered with Ash. Despite winning the quarterfinal match, he was disappointed with his {{AP|Chimchar}} and released him, which Ash quickly caught. Eventually, Paul and Ash managed to win the tournament. Paul then revealed how he captured Chimchar: one day, he ran across him and saw him activating his {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] to ward off a horde of {{p|Zangoose}} that were violently attacking him. Paul was impressed and decided to catch Chimchar, but he never managed to recreate that powerful Blaze while under his ownership. After winning the tournament, he wrote off the tournament as nothing more than an opportunity to boost his battling skills, giving his [[Soothe Bell]] prize to Ash.
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|left|250px|Paul and Ash]]
In ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', Paul caught his {{p|Gliscor}}.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', he watched [[Ash's Pikachu]] battle [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. After watching Pikachu lose to Raichu, he approached Ash and said Pikachu needed to [[Evolution|evolve]] to even come close to being an equal to Raichu. Later on, he witnessed Pikachu defeat Raichu in Ash's [[rematch]] against Sho.

Prior to ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Paul returned to his [[hometown]] [[Veilstone City]], where he challenged the new Gym Leader [[Maylene]] to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. His Pokémon had a [[type]] advantage over Maylene's {{type|Fighting}} [[Party|team]]. This, coupled with the fact that Maylene was feeling out of sync with her Pokémon, resulted in an embarrassing match in which she failed to [[Fainting|knock out]] a single one of his Pokémon. As Maylene awarded him with the {{badge|Cobble}}, Paul noted that she was the weakest Gym Leader he had ever battled, which greatly upset her.

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', Paul battled Ash after arguing with him over Ash's true skills as a Trainer. After using his Gliscor to defeat {{AP|Gligar}} with relative ease, he then pitted his Ursaring against Chimchar. Chimchar struggled for much of the battle, but ended up making a comeback and defeating Ursaring after finally activating Blaze. The battle ended prematurely when Chimchar's Blaze couldn't be controlled since it was activated out of resentment and a determination to defeat Paul. Paul was impressed as this version of Blaze appeared much more powerful than the one that initially drove him to catch Chimchar in the first place.

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Paul used his {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} in a Single Battle against Ash and his newly evolved {{AP|Grotle}}, defeating Ash with ease partly due to Grotle being unable to adapt to its loss of speed. This was seen by his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, who later helped Ash's Grotle handle the changes in its [[Evolution]].

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', he participated in the [[Squallville PokéRinger]] with his Honchkrow, and made it to the finals but lost to [[Ash's Staraptor]], which was newly evolved.

In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul challenged {{an|Brandon}} to a Full Battle, hoping that he would be able to do what his brother failed to. However, he lost to Brandon without [[fainting|defeating]] any of his Pokémon. Brandon informed him that this loss was because he could not control his emotions.
[[File:Paul scolding Chimchar.png|thumb|220px|Scolding Chimchar]]
Following Reggie's suggestion in ''A Pyramiding Rage!'', Paul battled Ash in a Full Battle in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. It was revealed that Paul had evolved his {{p|Magmar}} into {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}} since his battle with Brandon. Despite Ash's Chimchar evolving into {{p|Monferno}} and three of Ash's Pokémon using the [[Counter Shield]] strategy, Paul won the match easily with only two of his Pokémon fainting, one of which, Ursaring, having defeated half of Ash's team nearly single-handedly.

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', it was revealed that Paul had earned the {{Badge|Mine}} from [[Canalave Gym]] and, by doing so, had collected the eight [[Badge]]s required to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].

In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Paul encountered Ash for the first time since their Full Battle. He also met his admirer {{an|Barry}} for the first time; however, Paul wasn't impressed by him and refused his offer for a battle, suggesting he battle Ash instead since he was denying all challenges to go into serious {{pkmn|training}}. He later watched the battle between Ash's Monferno and {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} and when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, and Empoleon were nearly crushed by one of {{TRT}}'s damaged mechas, he saved the three with the help of his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}. He then witnessed Monferno evolving into {{AP|Infernape}}, who then saved Electabuzz and the other Pokémon from getting crushed. Paul was impressed by Infernape, and gained a little respect for Ash at how well he had raised him. When asked by Ash if they could have another Full Battle, Paul confirmed they would in the Sinnoh League, and that Reggie was looking forward to seeing it.

Paul entered the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where he was shown in the stadium along with all of the other competitors. He passed the preliminary round in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'' and defeated Barry in the third round in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' with his superior tactics and the superior power of his Pokémon.

His next battle was against his rival Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', continuing into ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'' and ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''. After a fierce battle, Paul was finally defeated, and he and Ash parted on good terms, Ash having earned Paul's full respect. It also seemed Paul had decided to change himself somewhat, as when Electivire was defeated, he thanked it for a job well done; up to this point, this was something Paul practically never did, even if his Pokémon won. Afterwards, Paul stated that his next intention was to return to [[Snowpoint City]] and re-challenge Brandon.

He briefly appeared in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', where he watched Ash as he lost to {{si|Tobias}}.

Privately commenting to {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} on the battle between Ash and Paul, Cynthia predicted that they would both be entering the Champion League soon.

Paul made a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which he was seen visiting ancient ruins with statues of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

[[File:Paul JN.png|250px|thumb|Paul in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
Paul made a cameo appearance in a flashback in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''.

In ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', Paul appeared at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in order to learn more about Pokémon from {{an|Professor Oak}}. During the visit, he reunited with Ash. Knowing that Ash was in the Masters Eight of the [[World Coronation Series]], Paul used his {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Metagross}} (reflecting the Pokémon owned by {{an|Lance}}, Cynthia, and {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, respectively) to battle against [[Ash's Lucario]], {{AP|Dragonite}}, and {{AP|Gengar}}, and ultimately lost. As Paul left, Professor Oak revealed that Paul had received an offer to become a [[Gym Leader]].

In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Paul appeared with Reggie, watching Cynthia's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Iris}}. In the [[JN118|next episode]], they watched Ash's match against Steven. Paul expressed a greater interest during Ash's battle against [[Steven's Metagross]], seemingly pleased that his training with Ash had been effective.

==Character==
[[File:Reggie and Paul.png|thumb|left|250px|Paul and Reggie]]
Paul underwent quite a bit of character development throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Early in the series, Paul was very reserved and apathetic. As such, he displayed very little emotion when interacting with others, other than an occasional rough smirk when dealing with {{Ash}}. He was also very callous, seeing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as tools for combat rather than living beings to make friends with, and his only concern in them being their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly disliked weak Pokémon and had a tendency of {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} them if they continuously underperformed in battles or otherwise failed to meet his expectations. To this effect, Paul always checked new {{pkmn2|caught|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they knew, and released them if he deemed them not strong or potent enough, showing a preference for attaining immediately strong Pokémon instead of training weaker ones to become strong, in addition to making his choices entirely on a first impression. As for the ones he decided to keep, he was shown to be cold, stern, and demanding, willing to engage in ruthless strategies in battle if he felt they would ensure a victory or make his Pokémon stronger, even if it risked injuring them in the process. He felt that [[Friendship|bonding]] with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers, which was proven on [[DP052|one occasion]] when he gave his prize [[Soothe Bell]], an item that raises a Pokémon's happiness, away to Ash.
[[File:Paul training method.png|thumb|220px|Paul's harsh training regime with Chimchar]]
He also had a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he felt they could have beaten, some examples being his {{p|Azumarill}}, {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}, and {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, once again showing his distaste when expectations weren't met. These beliefs and behaviors were best exemplified in his harsh treatment of Chimchar (which in and of itself was noted to be much worse compared to that of his other Pokémon); he [[DP053|was shown]] to have fed him straight from tin cans and rushed him so they could get back to training, as well as forcing him to not dodge attacks (even super effective ones) for the sake of being able to activate his {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] at will under pressure. He [[DP051|was also shown]] to have had his other Pokémon relentlessly attack him for this same purpose. This particularly brutal treatment had formed out of Paul's impatient desire to recreate the powerful first impression which led to Chimchar's capture, a result which Paul's training methods ultimately failed to produce. Notably, besides Chimchar, none of his Pokémon had expressed any truly overt dislike towards Paul or dissatisfaction with him as their [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] despite his tough methods, and none are known to have ran away of their own volition, with his {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} and {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} in particular becoming more powerful battlers under his training.

However, Paul had a major turning point after his crushing loss to {{an|Brandon}} in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' and underwent a serious attitude adjustment; he maintained his reserved and stoical personality, but he ceased his cruel tendencies and began treating his Pokémon less like tools and more like highly professional partners. While he still doesn't show them open affection like Ash does, he seems to have dropped his habit of scolding them; in fact, he started to do the exact opposite and commend them not only when they won, but even when they lost, which was something he practically never did prior. For example, in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', he praised his Electivire after it defeated [[Ash's Gliscor]], and thanked it for its efforts after it lost to Ash's Infernape. It is unknown if he continues to practice his selective catching methods after this point as he has never been seen catching or releasing Pokémon again. He had also seemingly become less apathetic and more caring of others, which was best exemplified in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'' when he helped save [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Dawn's Piplup]], and [[Barry's Empoleon]] from {{TRT}}'s destroyed mecha at no benefit to himself or his Pokémon.
[[File:Paul preparing for battle.png|thumb|left|250px|Paul preparing for battle]]
Paul originally felt that Ash was a weak Trainer when they first met, as shown when Ash captured {{AP|Starly}} and he questioned him about how strong this Starly was. Ash's very different attitude towards Pokémon provided much fuel to their [[rival]]ry. Despite this, Paul barely recognized Ash as a serious Trainer or a rival; Paul regularly disregarded Ash's speeches about friendship and love, taunting and belittling him almost every time they encountered each other, with Ash's Pikachu's usage of {{m|Volt Tackle}} seemingly being the only initial point of Paul's interest. Paul also occasionally perceived Ash's actions to be hypocritical, accusing him at a [[DP081|few]] [[DP100|points]] of using methods similar to his own, specifically ones that Ash had criticized him for; these include Ash's decision to enter the [[Wallace Cup]] which Paul insisted was no different than himself entering the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] just to strengthen his Pokémon, and noting that they both have their own Pokémon attack each other for training. Their radically different beliefs often led to intense arguments, with [[Ash's friends]] once noting that their opposing attitudes made it impossible for the two to just ignore each other.

However, Paul's first hint of respect for Ash himself was shown in ''A Pyramiding Rage!'', when he was very surprised to hear that he had won his own [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]] from Brandon, something both his brother and later Paul himself failed at. Notably, after this discovery and his subsequent defeat at the hands of Brandon, Paul would become more subdued and much less caustic in his interactions with Ash. Though they remained at clear odds for the time being, he started regarding Ash more seriously and would no longer mock his abilities as a Trainer. His change in attitude was shown after his victories against Ash and {{an|Barry}}, where, despite their losses, he would not dismiss their efforts like before and would even be complimentary after a hard-fought battle. After a long, tough battle in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon League Conference]], Paul ended up losing to Ash, and in doing so, gained respect for him and ended their bitter rivalry on civil terms.
[[File:Paul and Brandon.png|thumb|250px|Paul and Brandon]]
Paul has also been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism, as seen in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' when he and Chimchar were able to downwardly scale a cliff of a waterfall near [[Bewilder Forest]] by swinging and leaping from rocks and branches. His catchphrase when calling out Pokémon is "<Pokémon>, standby for battle!" (Japanese: '''○○！バトルスタンバイ！''' ''<Pokémon>, Battle Standby!'').

As revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Paul occasionally gives some of his Pokémon to his brother [[Reggie]] for temporary training and caretaking. He disagrees with his brother's decision to give up on being a Pokémon Trainer after failing to get the Brave Symbol from Brandon and often harbored contempt towards him for still holding to his old views and beliefs about Pokémon instead of changing them after the defeat, in addition to not understanding why Reggie would give up battling after a single loss to Brandon. Nevertheless, it seems that their brotherly relationship has been reanimated in the aftermath of Paul's own loss against Brandon, as their interactions afterwards are more cordial even in private conversation. As shown in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', during their video conversation, Paul seemed disappointed that Reggie would not be able to come to the match because of his work, but was glad to hear that his older brother was supporting him in the battle with Ash.

Paul appears to feel complete indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, shown most tellingly in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'' where he is revealed to have not remembered her name. However, he talks to her more openly about Ash much later in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', confessing that his main problem with Ash is how his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength through his bond with them and that any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of his brother, the resemblance to Reggie bringing Paul discomfort. Paul shows a mix of mild respect and distaste towards {{an|Brock}} in their few direct interactions. While Paul usually keeps his distance due to Brock's association with Ash and doesn't go out of his way to engage with him as with Ash, Paul did willingly open up about Chimchar's history when questioned by Brock in ''Glory Blaze!'', and later explained his frustrations with Reggie to Brock in ''Aiding the Enemy!''. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Nurse Joy]], Brandon, and {{an|Professor Oak}}, even in situations where he doesn't agree with them or heed their advice. He also shows respect to [[Gym Leader]]s, but not ones who he feels are weak. For example, he was shown to be respectful towards [[Roark]] whom he judged to have been a worthwhile opponent after their battle but he was openly rude and mean to [[Maylene]] upon defeating her with ease.

During ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Paul was shown to have developed a lighter side, allowing Electivire to go play with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}. He still appeared to be fundamentally serious and strict, and yet he was also much more mindful towards the condition of a battling Pokémon, to the point of scolding Ash for seemingly ignoring his Pokémon's well-being during a new battle technique. He also continued complimenting his Pokémon on their performance, regardless of result, and was shown to talk to others with his usual coolness in addition to openly smiling at them more, seen when Paul bid Infernape farewell. Much of Paul's changes in this series were attributed to the fact that he was asked to become a [[Gym Leader]], which encouraged him to learn more about Pokémon and their nature.

==Pokémon==
{{MissingInfo|1|java|scope=section}}
[[File:Ash and Paul Pokémon rivalry.png|220px|thumb|The rivalry between Ash and Paul's Pokémon]]
As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. As shown many times throughout the series, Paul regularly rotates the Pokémon in his possession, basing his choices on his knowledge of the opponents he prepares to battle. This can be most prominently seen in his [[Full Battle]] with Ash at [[Lake Acuity]], where he prepares many specific moves and strategies for Ash's [[Sinnoh]] party based on all of their previous encounters.

Paul is a highly skilled battler, able to observe the battling styles of others and incorporate them into his own. This was shown in his [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] battle with Ash, where he adopted several of Ash's unorthodox strategies and quickly used them to his advantage. It was shown again in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', where Paul was able to imitate the battling styles of {{an|Lance}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} in order to prepare Ash for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

Whilst the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', respectively, and Ninjask's was revealed in a flashback during ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', his team has for the most part been {{pkmn2|caught}} off-screen. Several other Pokémon in his possession were caught onscreen but later released, as they were deemed not strong enough to remain on his active roster.

The Pokémon Paul does not carry with him on hand are left with [[Reggie]] at his home in [[Veilstone City]]. This list is from Paul's Pokémon up to ''[[Pokemon Journeys: The Series]]'':

|desc=When Paul first saw {{p|Chimchar}}, he was being chased by a group of {{p|Zangoose}}. Paul was impressed with him and added him to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match up to Chimchar's normal abilities and so Paul regularly criticized him for being weak. 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 which he was forced to battle alongside {{Ash}}. During a battle against a Zangoose and a {{p|Metagross}}, Chimchar was too scared to make any attacks when caught in Zangoose's claws. After the battle, Paul released Chimchar in front of Ash, who then invited him to join his team.}}

However, Roark's {{p|Geodude}} had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon, deflecting Hydro Pump with {{m|Hidden Power}} and knocking it out with {{m|Rollout}}.

Unsatisfied with its loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', claiming it had no potential to improve and there was no point wasting his time on it. This infuriated {{Ash}}, pushing their rivalry even further.

Azumarill's known moves were {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{m|Water Gun}}{{tt|*|Geodude attacked Azumarill before it could be executed}}.}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Early DP series art.png|thumb|250px|Early artwork]]
* Paul was first revealed to the public through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}. However, his name and role were not revealed until the following week, and so, he received the fan name "Nugai" (a pun derived from "new guy") during that time.
* Three of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} have evolved while battling Paul: Turtwig into {{AP|Grotle}}, Staravia into {{AP|Staraptor}}, and Chimchar into {{AP|Monferno}}. Both Turtwig and Staravia evolved while battling {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}. Paul also witnessed Monferno's later Evolution into {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Paul is the first regular rival seen {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a Pokémon and receiving a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] on screen.
* If one does not count the [[Squallville]] [[PokéRinger]], Paul has been defeated onscreen four times, with three of his Pokémon debuting each time.
* Paul has battled Ash more times than any other rival.
* Paul shares his Japanese name with that of [[Lake Verity]].
* Paul is the only Trainer to abandon one of Ash's Pokémon that has been seen more than once outside of flashbacks.
* Paul is the only character to have participated in a [[Full Battle]] against Ash more than once.
** He has participated in four Full Battles on-screen, the most of any Trainer in {{aniseries|PtS}} other than Ash.
** He is also the only character to have forfeited a Full Battle.
* During his battle with Ash at [[Lake Acuity]], Paul [[recall]]ed his Pokémon a total of seven times, the most out of any Trainer in the animated series within a single battle.
* Paul is the first regular recurring character to battle the {{pkmn|Champion}} of a [[core series]] [[region]].
* Paul owns a Pokémon of every [[type]] except for {{t|Fairy}}. While he used to own an {{p|Azumarill}}, it was not a Fairy type at the time when he owned it.
* Paul makes a cameo appearance alongside his Pokémon in the ending ''[[Let's Join Hands]]''.
* In the English dub, Paul has a habit of referring to things he dislikes as "pathetic". No equivalent phrase exists in the Japanese version.
* During the [[S10|tenth season]], Paul's catchphrase was "Stand by!" instead of "Stand by for battle!".

'''Volkner''' (Japanese: '''デンジ''' ''Denzi''<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/images/top/img_mv_20.png "Denzi & Elekible"] [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/ Pokémon Scale World] figurine catalog image</ref>) is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Beacon}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Volkner uses {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the {{Badge|Beacon}}, {{TM|57|Charge Beam}}, and will be able to use {{m|Waterfall}} outside of battle. In addition, all Pokémon, no matter what level, will obey them. Volkner is friends with [[Flint]], and had become dejected and depressed because no worthy challengers had come to Sunyshore City in a while. He had been considering challenging the [[Elite Four]] and spent all his time renovating the Gym's electrical equipment, which put a strain on Sunyshore's power supply and caused rolling brownouts, which the {{player}} experiences when first arriving in Sunyshore. Apparently, Volkner built the Gym's electrical gear puzzle completely out of boredom. When the player arrives in Sunyshore City, Flint introduces them to Volkner, who agrees to hold off on challenging the Elite Four until after he battles the new challenger.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Volkner and Flint appear at the entrance to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} and have a [[Double Battle]] against the {{player}} and the player's {{ga|Barry|rival}}. Volkner can later be fought, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the [[Battleground]].

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, when [[Shauntal]] is battled for a second time, she will occasionally quote a book that she wrote which says, ''"'Do you know Thunderbolt?' was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was Volkner."''

In {{B2W2}}, Volkner takes part in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He can be faced in the [[Sinnoh Leaders Tournament|Sinnoh Leaders]], [[Type Expert Tournament|Type Expert]], and [[World Leaders Tournament]]s.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Volkner also appears at the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where he can team up with Flint in a Double Battle.

He came across [[Flint]] and decided to challenge him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, though he lost the match. Volkner challenged Flint sometime later and won, thus igniting an intense rivalry. The two later became friends after battling against the [[Proprietor]] in a Tag Battle. When Flint turned 20 he left Sunyshore to pursue his own journey, and eventually became a member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], while Volkner assumed the role of Sunyshore City's [[Gym Leader]].

After becoming the Gym Leader, Volkner became more interested in technology and he distanced himself from battling. The obsession led him to design the automated walkways of Sunyshore, the installation of solar panels, and the city's famous [[Sunyshore Tower]].

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', Volkner was first mentioned by [[Palmer]], who said that, after seeing his battling skills, {{Ash}} would be able to give Volkner "a shock". In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', [[Paul]] also hinted that something was amiss at the [[Sunyshore Gym]], angrily denouncing it as "not legit".

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', when Ash arrived at the Sunyshore Gym, he was surprised that Volkner had installed a machine at the entrance that was simply giving away free {{Badge|Beacon}}s to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Ash was determined to have a genuine [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} so he began knocking on the door, only to be taken off the property by its robotic security. Flint noticed this and escorted Ash and {{ashfr}} to Volkner's location at the Sunyshore Tower. Ash requested a battle from Volkner, but he declined and stated that he was bored.

Later, Volkner walked into the Proprietor's café and quickly began arguing with Flint. The Proprietor then suggested that Flint battle Ash instead, and requested that Volkner watch the match. After witnessing Ash's battle with Flint, he became interested in battling again and decided to accept Ash's challenge for a Gym battle.

[[File:Young Volkner.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Volkner with his {{p|Pikachu}}]]
In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Volkner and Ash began their Gym battle. However, it was quickly interrupted as {{TRT}} stole the Sunyshore Tower, causing a citywide blackout. After Ash defeated Team Rocket with the help of his newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{AP|Torterra}}, Volkner returned the tower back to its original place. However, as both the tower and Gym were badly damaged, Volkner told Ash that he had to repair them before they could have a [[rematch]]. Ash agreed to the terms and said that he would use the extra time for more training.

In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', Volkner sends a message to [[Nurse Joy]] to let Ash know that he was ready to do battle with him.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Ash returned to Sunyshore to be the first to challenge Volkner since Team Rocket stole the Sunyshore Tower. During the last round between {{AP|Infernape}} and {{p|Luxray}}, Infernape's {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] was activated once again. This time, however, Infernape was able to take control of his [[Ability]], and by using the power that his {{type|Fire}} attacks had gained, he won the match. This earned Ash the Beacon Badge, thus allowing him to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].

In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', Flint thanks Ash that it is because of him that Volkner has returned to being the Trainer he was before and has now returned to normal Gym activities.

Volkner made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Volkner Journeys.png|thumb|250px|Volkner in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Volkner's silhouette was seen at the end of ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', where it was revealed he had entered the [[World Coronation Series]].

In ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'', it was revealed that Ash's next battle in the World Coronation Series was to be against Volkner, who was currently ranked 27th in the competition.

Volkner reappeared in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', where he had his World Coronation Series battle against Ash at the Sunyshore Gym. After a tough battle, Ash was able to defeat Volkner again and climb higher in the Ultra Class. Volkner predicted that Ash would become "the eye of the storm" in not only the Ultra Class, but even in the Master Class, where {{an|Cynthia}} was ranked.

In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Volkner appeared watching the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match between Cynthia and {{an|Iris}} alongside Flint on a [[Rotom Phone]].

====Character====
[[File:Ignitionshipping.png|thumb|left|250px|Volkner and Flint]]
Volkner is renowned for being "electrifying" and nicknamed the "Shining Shocking Star of {{ci|Sunyshore}}" because of his enthusiasm and technique in battle. He utilizes offense [[move]]s as a defensive strategy to counter an opponent's efforts. Volkner aims to attack his opponent's Pokémon at close range to ensure the most damage. He is regarded as bright and intelligent, though he is prone to becoming obsessed with his interests and tires of them when things become predictable.

However, after becoming the [[Sunyshore Gym|Sunyshore]] [[Gym Leader]] and experiencing numerous weak challengers, Volkner completely lost any interest in battling. Furthermore, Volkner became completely aloof and somewhat cold, always having an empty look on his face, and always speaking in a bored tone. His aloofness even went as far as boringly telling [[Flint]] to punch him if he felt like it after being threatened by the former, and Volkner's disinterest seemed to have extended towards his friends, as Volkner seemed to have gained some level of resentment towards Flint, once sarcastically referring to him as "Mr. [[Elite Four]]", possibly from the fact that Flint became able to travel whilst Volkner remained in Sunyshore City, surrounded by weak challengers.

After witnessing {{Ash}} putting himself in harm's way to protect his {{AP|Pikachu}}, Volkner seemed to have finally snapped out of his disinterest, as Ash's actions reminded him of his own protective actions in his childhood regarding his Pikachu, and seeing Ash's determination, as well as hearing the [[Proprietor]]'s speech about Volkner's determination causing him to abandon his ways as a [[Pokémon hunter|poacher]], finally caused Volkner to reignite his battling spirit. Volkner also returned to his previously cheerful and confident self.

Since Ash's challenge in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Flint reported that news of Volkner's return to battling spread quickly throughout the region, as countless potential challenger's were queuing to go up against him, although Volkner declined all of them, keeping his promise to have his first official return match against Ash.

He holds deep respect and immense sentiments for his hometown of Sunyshore. His technology projects and massive construction efforts were designed to highlight Sunyshore's best assets and separate it from its previously grimy and criminal gang history.

====Pokémon====
As expected of an [[Electric type]] Trainer, Volkner has a team made up of several extremely powerful Electric Pokémon. In Gym battles, Volkner uses super effective moves to defeat his opponents, however during his battle in the [[World Coronation Series]] Volkner gave up several resources and strategies such as using {{m|Electric Terrain}} to increase his Pokémon's attacks and using moves like {{m|Hex}} after [[Paralysis |paralyzing]] his opponents. In both battles against Ash, Volkner was able to force Ash to the max and use his Pokémon's special [[Ability|abilities]] and [[Z-Moves]].

Despite being his oldest partner, Volkner uses his {{p|Raichu}} very little in battle, appearing only to help against the problems caused by [[Team Rocket]].

|desc={{p|Raichu}} is Volkner's very first Pokémon. He first appeared in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', where he reunited with [[Flint]], and in the [[DP166|next episode]]. Raichu has been shown to be {{pkmn2|Walking|outside of his Poké Ball}} most of the time.

Volkner first received his Raichu as a {{p|Pikachu}} when he was young. He battled with [[Flint's Chimchar]] and lost. However, in their [[rematch]], Pikachu defeated {{p|Chimchar}} with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Since then, Flint and Volkner became friends and rivals. Later, Pikachu was battling the [[Proprietor]]'s {{p|Houndoom}}, when the latter was a [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon poacher]] at the time. Houndoom dealt some damage to Chimchar and Pikachu, but Chimchar wasn't able to continue, leaving Pikachu to do it on its own. Volkner was very determined to battle the Proprietor. After a long battle, the Proprietor was defeated and became friends with Volkner and Flint.

Pikachu later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Raichu prior to Volkner becoming the [[Sunyshore City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Raichu was very strong as he defeated several Pokémon such as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Mothim}} over time. However, Volkner did not select Raichu in any of his matches against {{Ash}}.

Raichu briefly appeared alongside Volkner during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Raichu's known moves are {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and {{m|Thunder}}.}}

During the [[rematch]], Luxray first battled with {{AP|Pikachu}}, and won after taking hits from several {{m|Iron Tail}}s. Ash next used {{AP|Infernape}}, which got badly injured during the battle. Due to this, his [[Ability]] {{a|Blaze}} got activated. However, this time {{p|Infernape}} was able to control his Ability, and with the powers gained through it, the Flame Pokémon quickly defeated Luxray, serving the final blow with a devastating {{m|Flame Wheel}}, earning Ash the {{Badge|Beacon}}. Luxray was seen in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

Luxray reappeared in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', where he was the first Pokémon in Volkner's [[World Coronation Series]] match against Ash. Luxray first went up against {{AP|Lucario}} and {{AP|Gengar}} before being recalled. He later battled Lucario once more, with the battle ending in a tie.

Luxray's known moves are {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Shock Wave}}, {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Electric Terrain}}, {{m|Rising Voltage}}, and {{m|Snarl}}.}}

|desc={{p|Electivire}} was the first Pokémon which Volkner used during his [[rematch]] against {{Ash}}. Ash first used {{AP|Torterra}}, but it was easily defeated. Next Ash chose to use {{p|Pikachu}}. With his {{m|Thunderbolt}}, Pikachu triggered Electivire's [[Ability]], making it an even harder target to hit. However, when one of Electivire's punches connected with Pikachu, the Thunderbolt Pokémon was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by Pikachu's {{a|Static}}. After this, Pikachu was able to finish Electivire with a well-aimed {{m|Iron Tail}}.

Electivire reappeared in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', when it was the third Pokémon in his [[World Coronation Series]] match against Ash. It was used to negate Pikachu's Thunderbolt with its Motor Drive Ability. After Pikachu, it briefly battled Ash's Lucario before being recalled. Electivire later battled Ash's Pikachu again, but it was eventually defeated by Pikachu's {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, which proved to be too much for Motor Drive to absorb.

In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Electivire was shown watching {{an|Cynthia}}'s [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Iris}} alongside its Trainer.

Electivire's known moves are {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Wild Charge}}, and {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and its Ability is {{a|Motor Drive}}.}}

===GOTCHA!===
Volkner briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Volkner Candice Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Volkner in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
After [[Team Galactic]] captures the [[Lake guardians|Lake trio]] and defeats [[Candice]], [[Maylene]], and {{adv|Platinum}}, Candice and Maylene demand that [[Byron]] send someone strong to train them. Because Byron is occupied with protecting [[Professor Rowan]] and Mr. Berlitz, he briefly considers sending [[Roark]], but realizes that Roark will not be strong enough and tries to call Volkner instead.

The call initially does not go through because Sunyshore City is in the middle of a blackout caused by Volkner's Gym renovations. Volkner, depressed that Pokémon battles have become boring as a result of few strong opponents challenging him, elects to leave the Gym when Byron's call gets through.

When Volkner meets Platinum and the two female Gym Leaders, he initially mistakes Platinum as another Gym Leader, indicating that he is quite distant from his colleagues. He attacks them and leaves immediately, as none of them appear strong enough to interest him. Platinum's sincere dedication to impressing him and to inform him of [[Jupiter]]'s prowess interests Volkner enough for him to send out his Electivire to battle her. He then promises that if she defeats him, he will award her the Beacon Badge. Eventually, the girl succeeds, and he yields it to her. He also gives a {{p|Pachirisu}} to Maylene so she can give it to Platinum while they go off to battle Team Galactic on the [[Spear Pillar]].

While the other Gym Leaders battle Team Galactic on Spear Pillar, Volkner ignores their calls for help and prepares to go home. Before he can leave, Volkner encounters a strange distortion in space right in front of the [[Sendoff Spring]]. Feeling excited from this discovery, Volkner calls his friend [[Flint]] to help him investigate it.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
He and Flint are seen researching about the strange phenomenon when Flint gets a call from [[Buck]]. Later, Volkner and Flint witness Platinum and her friends traveling to the [[Distortion World]]. Volkner teases Flint about caring that his younger brother has been injured, though Flint denies it and intends to defeat the person that beat Buck. Later, they arrive at the Sendoff Spring, and enter the Distortion World through the [[Turnback Cave]].

Upon arriving, they are attacked by {{DL|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)|Giratina}} and are chased throughout the Distortion World by it. Despite them using a powerful combination attack, Giratina proves too powerful for them and defeats the two with a {{m|Dragon Breath}}. They manage to get up soon after, only for Giratina to leave to fight the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the area.

After [[Charon]] is defeated, Giratina tries one last time to attack Platinum, only for Flint and Volkner to attack it from behind and defeat it. Satisfied, the two hi-five each other in a prideful boast of their strength.

====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
In ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]'', [[Shauntal]] was shown to have included a picture and a written passage of Volkner in her book.

==Trivia==
[[File:Flint and Volkner Pt.png|The Double Battle against Flint and Volkner|thumb]]
* Volkner's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|かがやきしびれさせるスター|Star dazzling radiance}}.
* Volkner and [[Jasmine]] have many similarities:
** They are both [[Gym Leader]]s.
** The cities they both reside in, [[Olivine City]] and [[Sunyshore City]], are coastal and have lighthouses: the [[Olivine Lighthouse]] and the [[Vista Lighthouse]].
*** In all [[Sinnoh]]-based games, they both can be talked to in Sunyshore City, and Jasmine herself notes the similarities between the two cities.
** They both are in their respective lighthouse when the player first meets them.
** Something stops both Jasmine and Volkner from battling the player in the beginning: Jasmine's Ampharos is ill, so the player has to get the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] to heal it, and there is a power outage in Sunyshore City, so the player can't reach it until the player has dealt with [[Team Galactic]].
* All of Volkner's Diamond and Pearl {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} belong to species that have [[gender differences]].
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond, Pearl}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, two of Volkner's four Pokémon, {{p|Ambipom}} and {{p|Octillery}}, are not of his specialty [[type]], though each know one {{type|Electric}} [[move]] ({{m|Shock Wave}}{{sup/4|DP}}/{{m|Thunderbolt}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} and {{m|Charge Beam}}, respectively). This was changed in {{v2|Platinum}}, as they were replaced by {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Electivire}}.
* Volkner's Electivire is the only Pokémon of a Gym Leader to use [[Seal]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}. It is used in the initial Gym Battle, the subsequent rematches, and in the Double Battle with [[Flint]], who uses his {{p|Magmortar}}, the only Pokémon of an [[Elite Four]] member to have Seals.
* Volkner is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader to not have any Pokémon with more than one type in Diamond and Pearl.
** He also does not use any Pokémon with more than one type in the initial battle in Platinum, but he uses a {{p|Lanturn}} in the post-game rematches at the Battleground.
* In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Volkner is the only Gym Leader to use {{p|Pelipper|a Pokémon}} whose type does not match his type speciality in his rematch team.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Volkner is the only Gym Leader:
** From Sinnoh who used his in-game party from {{v2|Platinum}}.
** From Sinnoh who Ash battled more than two times.
** Who Ash battled for his eighth Gym Badge to use a fully evolved [[Party|team]].
* In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Volkner's {{p|Luxray}} knows {{m|Play Rough}}, which it [[Game move errors|cannot legitimately learn]] in those games. It is only able to learn it via [[TR90]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} and [[TM127]] in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}, and will not maintain it if transferred to Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl via [[Pokémon HOME]].
** Additionally, his {{p|Zapdos}} has the move {{m|Heat Wave}}, which is normally impossible to have in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
* Volkner's {{p|Luxray}} is the only Pokémon in ''Pokémon the Series'' to have used the move {{m|Rising Voltage}}.

Split-Decision Ruins

The '''Split-Decision Ruins''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|定めの遺跡|さだめのいせき}}''' ''Ruins of Decision'') is a location in [[Three-Point Pass]]. It is the home of {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. To enter, the player must have any {{p|Regirock}}, any {{p|Regice}}, and any {{p|Registeel}} in their [[party]], after capturing the Regirock, Regice, and Registeel from [[Rock Peak Ruins (Galar)|Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins (Galar)|Iceberg Ruins]], and [[Iron Ruins (Galar)|Iron Ruins]] respectively.

==Geography==
The Split-Decision Ruins is a single large, rectangular chamber with a stone statue at the center back representing the [[legendary giants]], much like the chambers holding the other giants. However, there are ten circular panels on the ground rather than seven. Instead of lighting up all of the panels, the player must match the eye pattern of the giant they wish to capture—either Regieleki or Regidrago—and cannot reset the panels after they interact with the statue.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the ruins contain two statues and sets of floor panels, instead of one, like in the {{pkmn|games}}. Usually, only one set of panels can be lit up at a time, but if both sets are stepped on simultaneously, they can both be lit up, making it possible to awaken both Legendary Pokémon.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
The Split-Decision Ruins appeared in ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'' as the site of the final [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. After [[Quillon]] had used {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} to unlock the door, [[Goh]] and {{Gary}} entered the ruins to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. Before they could solve the floor puzzle, however, they were ambushed by [[Lyla]] and [[Sterling]], who challenged them to a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]]. With their teamwork, Goh and Gary quickly beat them and finished solving the puzzle, making Regieleki and Regidrago appear. While the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] initially overpowered the two, they made a comeback with Lyla and Sterling's help, successfully weakening Regieleki and Regidrago enough for them to be caught, allowing Goh and Gary to clear the mission and secure the latter a Chaser position in the research team.

'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a highly accomplished {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the original {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well as their [[remake]]s, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], awarding the {{Badge|Rain}} to those who defeat him. In {{v2|Emerald}}, he becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] and gives the Gym back to [[Juan]], his former instructor.

Wallace also excels in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and, in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, can be encountered in [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty Contests]]. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. He is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Sootopolitan''' (Japanese: '''ルネのたみ''' ''Citizen of {{tt|Rune|Sootopolis}}'') and the only character in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to be referred to as a '''Contest Master''' (Japanese: '''コンテストマスター''' ''Contest Master'').

==In the core series games==
[[File:Wallace ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Wallace challenging the player]]
[[File:Wallace Sky Pillar ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Wallace challenging the player at Sky Pillar]]

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wallace runs the [[Sootopolis Gym]]. After being defeated, he gives out the {{badge|Rain}}, as well as {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}{{sup/3|RS}} or {{HM|05|Waterfall}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Wallace is first encountered at the [[Cave of Origin]], where he guides the {{player}} to the [[Sky Pillar]] to awaken {{p|Rayquaza}}. Once the player reaches Sky Pillar, Wallace will have opened its locked entrance, allowing the player to enter the tower. After Rayquaza has stopped the battle between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, Wallace will give the player {{HM|07|Waterfall}} and let them enter the Sootopolis Gym, which is now led by his mentor, [[Juan]]. At the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Wallace is revealed to have replaced {{Steven}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, with Steven being available to battle as a regular [[Pokémon Trainer]] during the post-game at [[Meteor Falls]].

In {{B2W2}}, Wallace participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], joining Steven in representing Hoenn in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wallace occasionally enters [[Pokémon Contest]] Spectaculars. The player may compete against him in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] of the [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty category]] after entering the Pokémon League's [[Hall of Fame]]. During the [[Delta Episode]], Wallace is revealed to be a descendant of the ancient people of Sootopolis, making him one of the few people capable of opening the sealed entrance to the Sky Pillar. Before the player enters the tower to pursue [[Zinnia]], Wallace battles them with his Champion [[party|team]] from Emerald. At the end of the Delta Episode, Steven requests Wallace to take his place as Champion when he someday leaves it to travel the world, which Wallace accepts.

[[File:Wallace anime.png|thumb|180px|Wallace in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Wallace Contest Outfit.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace's stage clothing]]
Wallace debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', being introduced as a {{pkmn|Contest}} Master, a former {{gy|Sootopolis}} [[Gym Leader]], and the current [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. He was first seen on the ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' [[television]] program when {{si|Rhonda}} advertised the [[Wallace Cup]] taking place on the shores of [[Lake Valor]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were looking for Wallace and found him relaxing near a lake with his {{p|Milotic}}. Even though Wallace had his day off from his busy schedule, he allowed the group to stay. Wallace had {{an|Dawn}} show off her Contest moves to him. She did so by having a practice [[Contest Battle]] with Ash. He praised the two for their match while {{an|Brock}} explained that {{AP|Buizel}} used to belong to Dawn and he was [[trade]]d to Ash in exchange for {{AP|Aipom}}. After watching Ash and Dawn's practice match against each other, he asked Ash to enter the Wallace Cup with his Buizel.

{{TRT}} subsequently showed up in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]]. Despite having more company, Wallace did a practice [[appeal]] with his Milotic for them to prove what relaxing and playing with Pokémon can do during his time off. When Milotic finished with {{m|Twister}}, Wallace left in a wave formed by the appeal. Wallace was later seen on TV, being interviewed by [[Marian]].

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', during the beginning of the Wallace Cup, Wallace made a speech on stage and held out the audience and participants the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. He concluded the speech by having Milotic perform as part of his appearance. He then acted as a [[Contest Judge]] for the Performance Stage.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Wallace welcomed back the participants as the Wallace Cup was resumed. He judged the battles of the Battle Stage, including the one with Ash and {{si|Kyle}}.

Wallace continued acting as a judge for the Battle Stage in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. When {{an|May}} and Dawn were in the finals and were about to begin their battle, Wallace gave some encouraging words to the two. After Dawn was able to defeat May and win the Contest, Wallace awarded Dawn the Aqua Ribbon. Wallace then closed the Wallace Cup by having Milotic use {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the air.

It was revealed in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' that the outfit he wore in the Top Coordinator Carnival was designed by the renowned [[Pokémon Stylist]] [[Lila]]. The outfit is currently on display at Lila's fashion store in [[Celestic Town]], next to a signed photo of Wallace.

In [[DPS01]], Wallace made a cameo in a fantasy when Dawn told [[Johanna]] that she was planning to travel to [[Hoenn]] since it is Wallace's home region, as well as the place where Pokémon Contests originated.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Wallace made another cameo in a fantasy, when Dawn revealed that she would soon leave [[Unova]] and head to [[Johto]] to compete in the Wallace Cup once again. When Dawn was taking the plane to [[Blackthorn City]], {{an|Cynthia}} told her to send Wallace her regards.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
While Wallace does not appear in {{aniseries|XY}}, in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} was mentioned to be Hoenn's current Champion, meaning that Wallace had lost the title sometime earlier.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Wallace JN.png|thumb|250px|Wallace in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Wallace reappeared in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', now sporting his {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} outfit and having returned to serving as the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Gym Leader. During a Pokémon Contest Spectacular in [[Lilycove City]], where Wallace's niece [[Lisia]] was competing, he encountered Ash and [[Goh]] as they were going to watch [[Chloe]]'s performance, but Wallace, having heard of Ash's success in the [[World Coronation Series]], demanded to have a {{pkmn|battle}} with him, which he accepted. At first, Ash had trouble remembering who Wallace was, much to Wallace's irritation, but eventually he remembered him once Wallace mentioned the Wallace Cup. The battle between them ended in Ash's victory, for which Wallace rewarded him with a {{badge|Rain}} and his scarf.

====Character====
[[File:Wallace press conference.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace holding a press conference]]
Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, Wallace was said to be the former [[Sootopolis City]] [[Gym Leader]] who eventually moved up to the position of [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, meaning that Wallace had lost his title and returned to being a Gym Leader sometime before. Wallace is also an accomplished [[Pokémon Coordinator]], having won the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]] after winning the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] with his {{p|Milotic}}. For his achievements in the [[Pokémon Contest]] world, he was labeled as a Contest Master and has been described as the pride and joy of every Coordinator.

Wallace regularly travels to promote the competition bearing his name, the {{cat|Multiregional competitions|multiregional}} [[Wallace Cup]], and thus has a tight schedule. He often makes appearances in talk shows and other {{cat|Pokémon world media|media outlets}}, such as [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]] and [[radio]]. Nonetheless, he will reserve time to spend with his Pokémon, as he greatly values the [[Friendship|bond]] between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
[[File:Lisia Wallace Journeys.png|thumb|250px|Wallace and Lisia]]
Due to his accomplishments, Wallace attained celebrity status and amassed a strong fan following. His fans will wait for him outside hotels and wear caps similar to the one he wears. Despite this, Wallace is shown to be a humble and modest person who likes his privacy. However, he will still treat others kindly if they happen to encounter him when he is not working.

In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', he revealed a more narcissistic, flamboyant, and exaggerated side of himself. He took mild offense towards Ash not remembering him since their meeting from the Wallace Cup, while Ash did remember Steven. He then persistently insisted Ash to battle him, despite the fact both him and Goh had to go to watch Chloe's Contest Spectacular, a battle that took so long the Contest ended before they could go there. On top of that, Wallace went in a long, convoluted speech and showered Ash with rewards so that he would remember their battle.

Milotic even gave {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} a ride around the lake on its back. Later, Wallace did a practice appeal with his Pokémon for the gang and the Team Rocket trio.

Milotic helped Wallace make his sensational entrance to the [[Wallace Cup]]. It is clear that Wallace's fans also have a great love for Milotic as they went wild when it appeared. It even helped pass out the Ribbon to {{an|Dawn}} after she won the Wallace Cup.

It appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''.

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Winona Wallace Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Wallace in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
He and Winona had a romantic relationship in the past. When Wallace beat the Pokémon League, he turned down the position of Champion to take over the Sootopolis Gym after his master, Juan. However, he also had the intention of staying close to Winona. Winona was opposed to this act, as she found the idea of a man much stronger than her constantly around to be smothering, which led to her breaking off their relationship.

====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Wallace first showed up when [[Flannery]] called all of the Gym Leaders to Fortree City to have a meeting about the mysterious organizations [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to having business elsewhere, Wallace was forced to attend via video rather than be there in person. When the other Gym Leaders began taking sides on whether one team is evil and the other on the side of good, Wallace sided with Team Aqua due to him being a Water-type Trainer. After the discussion ended, Wallace talked to [[Winona]] about the death of [[Mt. Chimney]] causing the sea levels to rise. Wallace revealed that he was heading to [[Fallarbor Town]] to discuss the changes in climate with [[Professor Cozmo]]. In addition to his quest, Wallace also participated in a Pokémon Contest. He managed to win easily, which gained the attention of {{adv|Ruby}}, who challenged Wallace to show off his skills. Ruby was defeated, but he was so impressed by Wallace that he demanded that Wallace become his master and train him in the art of Pokémon Contests. Wallace initially refused but changed his mind after seeing how strong Ruby was and finding out that he was the son of a Gym Leader. Once Wallace had finished his mission in Fallarbor Town, he went to Fortree City to meet with the other Gym Leaders and took Ruby there with him.

After some discussions occurred, Wallace saw Ruby suddenly running away. He follows after, only to find [[Slateport City]] flooded. Wallace helps the rescue the populace and eventually finds Ruby participating in a Pokémon Contest. Wallace enters the Contest as a mystery competitor and has it rigged so that Ruby would lose. Ruby is angered by this and takes his frustrations out on his {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Wallace reveals himself and berates Ruby for his horrible behavior. When Ruby realizes his mistake, he finds that Feefee had run away and that it was too late for him to apologize. Wallace continues to tell Ruby how horrible his behavior was, but the stress causes Ruby to pass out crying as he apologizes to his runaway Pokémon.
[[File:Wallace appeal Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace in an appeal with his Pokémon]]
When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wallace decides to help battle against one of the Legendary Pokémon, but Winona informs him that the people behind the attacks are controlling Kyogre and Groudon at the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. After deciding to join in the fight, Ruby reveals that with Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, he and Sapphire will be able to go to the Seafloor Cavern. After Ruby and Sapphire leave, Wallace heads off to help [[Brawly]] and [[Roxanne]] combat Groudon. Soon after arriving, all three are interrupted by the [[Magma Admin (Trainer class)#In the manga|Three Fires]] of Team Magma, [[Blaise]], [[Tabitha]], and [[Courtney]]. The three grab Wallace, Brawly, and Roxanne and take each of them to [[Lilycove City]] to prevent the Gym Leaders from stopping Groudon any further. Wallace is taken by Tabitha to the top of the [[Lilycove Department Store]].

Wallace manages to nearly defeat Tabitha, but an earlier exposure to the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to temporarily go crazy. Tabitha starts attacking Wallace in an unpredictable frenzy, forcing Wallace to try and escape. At the last second, {{Steven}} arrives to save Wallace and take his place in fighting Tabitha. Steven reveals that he has a plan to stop Groudon and Kyogre and has gathered all of the Hoenn Elite Four to enact it. Steven gives up his title as Champion and hands Wallace the Champion's Cloak.

With the other Gym Leaders too injured to continue battling, Wallace and Winona both head to Sootopolis City to help Ruby and Sapphire against Groudon and Kyogre. When he arrives, Wallace finds Ruby beaten and worried that they won't be able to win. Wallace snaps Ruby out of it by reminding him that he is fighting for the people he loves. Ruby thanks Wallace for helping bring back his confidence and goes to continue the battle alongside Sapphire. Together, Ruby and Sapphire force the Red and Blue Orbs out of [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]'s bodies, but the explosion caused by the attack sends them to {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, where they are trained by [[Juan]]. In the meantime, Wallace, Steven, and the Elite Four use the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} to contain the energy created by Groudon and Kyogre clashing with each other. After Ruby and Sapphire return, Groudon and Kyogre are defeated and return to their long slumber. However, the strain of controlling the three Legendary Pokémon put too much strain on Steven, and he eventually dies from exhaustion. Despite the loss of Groudon and Kyogre, Archie and Maxie come out of hiding to kill Ruby and retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs to reenact their plans. Wallace and Sapphire head inside the battleground to stop the villains.

[[File:Tate Liza Juan Wallace ORAS Adventures.png|thumb|right|170px|Wallace in the thirteenth chapter]]
Once they arrive, Wallace realizes that Steven gave him the Champion's Cloak because he knew he would die after his plan succeeded. Wallace puts on the cloak and proceeds to attack Archie and Maxie. He manages to easily defeat them, but they reveal they had captured Winona and held her hostage. Having no choice, Wallace is forced to lay down his Poké Balls and allow the villains to defeat him. After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated, Wallace celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle. With the help of Ruby's {{p|Celebi}}, those who died in the battle were revived.

====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
Wallace appears at the wedding between [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} alongside Winona, Ruby, and Sapphire. He and Winona stay behind to attend the reception while Ruby and Sapphire go to their mission at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Wallace, along with the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Elite Four, is called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the planet.

==Trivia==
* Wallace is the only:
** {{pkmn|Champion}} to have made his {{pkmn|animated series}} debut outside of his home [[region]].
** [[Gym Leader]] to hand out a [[HM|Hidden Machine]] as a prize for defeating him.
** {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the {{pkmn|games}} who does not [[nickname]] their Pokémon.
** Current Champion to specialize in a type that is neither {{t|Dragon}} nor {{t|Steel}}, and the only Champion to exclusively use Pokémon of his type specialty.
** [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader to not have appeared in their original design in {{aniseries|PTS}}, having only appeared in his {{game|Emerald||Emerald}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} designs.
* Wallace's Pokémon in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} are the same Pokémon used by [[Juan]] against {{Ash}} in {{aniseries|JN}}.
* A number of Wallace's lines before, during, and after the {{player}}'s {{pkmn|battle}} with him in Emerald are extremely similar to [[Steven Stone]]'s at the same time periods in Ruby and Sapphire. In particular, the line Wallace says upon defeat is the same as Steven's, only with references to elegance added.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when he is battled in the [[Delta Episode]], he uses his Champion team from Emerald, with almost the same levels.
** Additionally, after completing the Delta Episode, Steven mentions to Wallace that he will relinquish his position as Champion at some time to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.

'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a highly accomplished {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the original {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well as their [[remake]]s, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], awarding the {{Badge|Rain}} to those who defeat him. In {{v2|Emerald}}, he becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] and gives the Gym back to [[Juan]], his former instructor.

Wallace also excels in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and, in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, can be encountered in [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty Contests]]. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. He is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Sootopolitan''' (Japanese: '''ルネのたみ''' ''Citizen of {{tt|Rune|Sootopolis}}'') and the only character in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to be referred to as a '''Contest Master''' (Japanese: '''コンテストマスター''' ''Contest Master'').

==In the core series games==
[[File:Wallace ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Wallace challenging the player]]
[[File:Wallace Sky Pillar ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Wallace challenging the player at Sky Pillar]]

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wallace runs the [[Sootopolis Gym]]. After being defeated, he gives out the {{badge|Rain}}, as well as {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}{{sup/3|RS}} or {{HM|05|Waterfall}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Wallace is first encountered at the [[Cave of Origin]], where he guides the {{player}} to the [[Sky Pillar]] to awaken {{p|Rayquaza}}. Once the player reaches Sky Pillar, Wallace will have opened its locked entrance, allowing the player to enter the tower. After Rayquaza has stopped the battle between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, Wallace will give the player {{HM|07|Waterfall}} and let them enter the Sootopolis Gym, which is now led by his mentor, [[Juan]]. At the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Wallace is revealed to have replaced {{Steven}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, with Steven being available to battle as a regular [[Pokémon Trainer]] during the post-game at [[Meteor Falls]].

In {{B2W2}}, Wallace participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], joining Steven in representing Hoenn in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wallace occasionally enters [[Pokémon Contest]] Spectaculars. The player may compete against him in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] of the [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty category]] after entering the Pokémon League's [[Hall of Fame]]. During the [[Delta Episode]], Wallace is revealed to be a descendant of the ancient people of Sootopolis, making him one of the few people capable of opening the sealed entrance to the Sky Pillar. Before the player enters the tower to pursue [[Zinnia]], Wallace battles them with his Champion [[party|team]] from Emerald. At the end of the Delta Episode, Steven requests Wallace to take his place as Champion when he someday leaves it to travel the world, which Wallace accepts.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Wallace Contest Outfit.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace's stage clothing]]
Wallace debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', being introduced as a {{pkmn|Contest}} Master, a former {{gy|Sootopolis}} [[Gym Leader]], and the current [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. He was first seen on the ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' [[television]] program when {{si|Rhonda}} advertised the [[Wallace Cup]] taking place on the shores of [[Lake Valor]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were looking for Wallace and found him relaxing near a lake with his {{p|Milotic}}. Even though Wallace had his day off from his busy schedule, he allowed the group to stay. Wallace had {{an|Dawn}} show off her Contest moves to him. She did so by having a practice [[Contest Battle]] with Ash. He praised the two for their match while {{an|Brock}} explained that {{AP|Buizel}} used to belong to Dawn and he was [[trade]]d to Ash in exchange for {{AP|Aipom}}. After watching Ash and Dawn's practice match against each other, he asked Ash to enter the Wallace Cup with his Buizel.

{{TRT}} subsequently showed up in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]]. Despite having more company, Wallace did a practice [[appeal]] with his Milotic for them to prove what relaxing and playing with Pokémon can do during his time off. When Milotic finished with {{m|Twister}}, Wallace left in a wave formed by the appeal. Wallace was later seen on TV, being interviewed by [[Marian]].

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', during the beginning of the Wallace Cup, Wallace made a speech on stage and held out the audience and participants the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. He concluded the speech by having Milotic perform as part of his appearance. He then acted as a [[Contest Judge]] for the Performance Stage.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Wallace welcomed back the participants as the Wallace Cup was resumed. He judged the battles of the Battle Stage, including the one with Ash and {{si|Kyle}}.

Wallace continued acting as a judge for the Battle Stage in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. When {{an|May}} and Dawn were in the finals and were about to begin their battle, Wallace gave some encouraging words to the two. After Dawn was able to defeat May and win the Contest, Wallace awarded Dawn the Aqua Ribbon. Wallace then closed the Wallace Cup by having Milotic use {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the air.

It was revealed in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' that the outfit he wore in the Top Coordinator Carnival was designed by the renowned [[Pokémon Stylist]] [[Lila]]. The outfit is currently on display at Lila's fashion store in [[Celestic Town]], next to a signed photo of Wallace.

In [[DPS01]], Wallace made a cameo in a fantasy when Dawn told [[Johanna]] that she was planning to travel to [[Hoenn]] since it is Wallace's home region, as well as the place where Pokémon Contests originated.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Wallace made another cameo in a fantasy, when Dawn revealed that she would soon leave [[Unova]] and head to [[Johto]] to compete in the Wallace Cup once again. When Dawn was taking the plane to [[Blackthorn City]], {{an|Cynthia}} told her to send Wallace her regards.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
While Wallace does not appear in {{aniseries|XY}}, in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} was mentioned to be Hoenn's current Champion, meaning that Wallace had lost the title sometime earlier.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Wallace JN.png|thumb|250px|Wallace in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Wallace reappeared in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', now sporting his {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} outfit and having returned to serving as the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Gym Leader. During a Pokémon Contest Spectacular in [[Lilycove City]], where Wallace's niece [[Lisia]] was competing, he encountered Ash and [[Goh]] as they were going to watch [[Chloe]]'s performance, but Wallace, having heard of Ash's success in the [[World Coronation Series]], demanded to have a {{pkmn|battle}} with him, which he accepted. At first, Ash had trouble remembering who Wallace was, much to Wallace's irritation, but eventually he remembered him once Wallace mentioned the Wallace Cup. The battle between them ended in Ash's victory, for which Wallace rewarded him with a {{badge|Rain}} and his scarf.

====Character====
[[File:Wallace press conference.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace holding a press conference]]
Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, Wallace was said to be the former [[Sootopolis City]] [[Gym Leader]] who eventually moved up to the position of [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, meaning that Wallace had lost his title and returned to being a Gym Leader sometime before. Wallace is also an accomplished [[Pokémon Coordinator]], having won the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]] after winning the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] with his {{p|Milotic}}. For his achievements in the [[Pokémon Contest]] world, he was labeled as a Contest Master and has been described as the pride and joy of every Coordinator.

Wallace regularly travels to promote the competition bearing his name, the {{cat|Multiregional competitions|multiregional}} [[Wallace Cup]], and thus has a tight schedule. He often makes appearances in talk shows and other {{cat|Pokémon world media|media outlets}}, such as [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]] and [[radio]]. Nonetheless, he will reserve time to spend with his Pokémon, as he greatly values the [[Friendship|bond]] between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
[[File:Lisia Wallace Journeys.png|thumb|250px|Wallace and Lisia]]
Due to his accomplishments, Wallace attained celebrity status and amassed a strong fan following. His fans will wait for him outside hotels and wear caps similar to the one he wears. Despite this, Wallace is shown to be a humble and modest person who likes his privacy. However, he will still treat others kindly if they happen to encounter him when he is not working.

In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', he revealed a more narcissistic, flamboyant, and exaggerated side of himself. He took mild offense towards Ash not remembering him since their meeting from the Wallace Cup, while Ash did remember Steven. He then persistently insisted Ash to battle him, despite the fact both him and Goh had to go to watch Chloe's Contest Spectacular, a battle that took so long the Contest ended before they could go there. On top of that, Wallace went in a long, convoluted speech and showered Ash with rewards so that he would remember their battle.

Milotic even gave {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} a ride around the lake on its back. Later, Wallace did a practice appeal with his Pokémon for the gang and the Team Rocket trio.

Milotic helped Wallace make his sensational entrance to the [[Wallace Cup]]. It is clear that Wallace's fans also have a great love for Milotic as they went wild when it appeared. It even helped pass out the Ribbon to {{an|Dawn}} after she won the Wallace Cup.

It appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''.

It appeared again in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', where it was used in a battle against Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Milotic is eventually defeated by Pikachu, securing Ash's victory in the battle.

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Winona Wallace Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Wallace in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
He and Winona had a romantic relationship in the past. When Wallace beat the Pokémon League, he turned down the position of Champion to take over the Sootopolis Gym after his master, Juan. However, he also had the intention of staying close to Winona. Winona was opposed to this act, as she found the idea of a man much stronger than her constantly around to be smothering, which led to her breaking off their relationship.

====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Wallace first showed up when [[Flannery]] called all of the Gym Leaders to Fortree City to have a meeting about the mysterious organizations [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to having business elsewhere, Wallace was forced to attend via video rather than be there in person. When the other Gym Leaders began taking sides on whether one team is evil and the other on the side of good, Wallace sided with Team Aqua due to him being a Water-type Trainer. After the discussion ended, Wallace talked to [[Winona]] about the death of [[Mt. Chimney]] causing the sea levels to rise. Wallace revealed that he was heading to [[Fallarbor Town]] to discuss the changes in climate with [[Professor Cozmo]]. In addition to his quest, Wallace also participated in a Pokémon Contest. He managed to win easily, which gained the attention of {{adv|Ruby}}, who challenged Wallace to show off his skills. Ruby was defeated, but he was so impressed by Wallace that he demanded that Wallace become his master and train him in the art of Pokémon Contests. Wallace initially refused but changed his mind after seeing how strong Ruby was and finding out that he was the son of a Gym Leader. Once Wallace had finished his mission in Fallarbor Town, he went to Fortree City to meet with the other Gym Leaders and took Ruby there with him.

After some discussions occurred, Wallace saw Ruby suddenly running away. He follows after, only to find [[Slateport City]] flooded. Wallace helps the rescue the populace and eventually finds Ruby participating in a Pokémon Contest. Wallace enters the Contest as a mystery competitor and has it rigged so that Ruby would lose. Ruby is angered by this and takes his frustrations out on his {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Wallace reveals himself and berates Ruby for his horrible behavior. When Ruby realizes his mistake, he finds that Feefee had run away and that it was too late for him to apologize. Wallace continues to tell Ruby how horrible his behavior was, but the stress causes Ruby to pass out crying as he apologizes to his runaway Pokémon.
[[File:Wallace appeal Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace in an appeal with his Pokémon]]
When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wallace decides to help battle against one of the Legendary Pokémon, but Winona informs him that the people behind the attacks are controlling Kyogre and Groudon at the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. After deciding to join in the fight, Ruby reveals that with Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, he and Sapphire will be able to go to the Seafloor Cavern. After Ruby and Sapphire leave, Wallace heads off to help [[Brawly]] and [[Roxanne]] combat Groudon. Soon after arriving, all three are interrupted by the [[Magma Admin (Trainer class)#In the manga|Three Fires]] of Team Magma, [[Blaise]], [[Tabitha]], and [[Courtney]]. The three grab Wallace, Brawly, and Roxanne and take each of them to [[Lilycove City]] to prevent the Gym Leaders from stopping Groudon any further. Wallace is taken by Tabitha to the top of the [[Lilycove Department Store]].

Wallace manages to nearly defeat Tabitha, but an earlier exposure to the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to temporarily go crazy. Tabitha starts attacking Wallace in an unpredictable frenzy, forcing Wallace to try and escape. At the last second, {{Steven}} arrives to save Wallace and take his place in fighting Tabitha. Steven reveals that he has a plan to stop Groudon and Kyogre and has gathered all of the Hoenn Elite Four to enact it. Steven gives up his title as Champion and hands Wallace the Champion's Cloak.

With the other Gym Leaders too injured to continue battling, Wallace and Winona both head to Sootopolis City to help Ruby and Sapphire against Groudon and Kyogre. When he arrives, Wallace finds Ruby beaten and worried that they won't be able to win. Wallace snaps Ruby out of it by reminding him that he is fighting for the people he loves. Ruby thanks Wallace for helping bring back his confidence and goes to continue the battle alongside Sapphire. Together, Ruby and Sapphire force the Red and Blue Orbs out of [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]'s bodies, but the explosion caused by the attack sends them to {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, where they are trained by [[Juan]]. In the meantime, Wallace, Steven, and the Elite Four use the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} to contain the energy created by Groudon and Kyogre clashing with each other. After Ruby and Sapphire return, Groudon and Kyogre are defeated and return to their long slumber. However, the strain of controlling the three Legendary Pokémon put too much strain on Steven, and he eventually dies from exhaustion. Despite the loss of Groudon and Kyogre, Archie and Maxie come out of hiding to kill Ruby and retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs to reenact their plans. Wallace and Sapphire head inside the battleground to stop the villains.

[[File:Tate Liza Juan Wallace ORAS Adventures.png|thumb|right|170px|Wallace in the thirteenth chapter]]
Once they arrive, Wallace realizes that Steven gave him the Champion's Cloak because he knew he would die after his plan succeeded. Wallace puts on the cloak and proceeds to attack Archie and Maxie. He manages to easily defeat them, but they reveal they had captured Winona and held her hostage. Having no choice, Wallace is forced to lay down his Poké Balls and allow the villains to defeat him. After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated, Wallace celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle. With the help of Ruby's {{p|Celebi}}, those who died in the battle were revived.

====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
Wallace appears at the wedding between [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} alongside Winona, Ruby, and Sapphire. He and Winona stay behind to attend the reception while Ruby and Sapphire go to their mission at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Wallace, along with the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Elite Four, is called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the planet.

Phillip's known moves are {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Tickle}}, and {{m|Body Slam}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Wallace is the only:
** {{pkmn|Champion}} to have made his {{pkmn|animated series}} debut outside of his home [[region]].
** [[Gym Leader]] to hand out a [[HM|Hidden Machine]] as a prize for defeating him.
** {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the {{pkmn|games}} who does not [[nickname]] their Pokémon.
** Current Champion to specialize in a type that is neither {{t|Dragon}} nor {{t|Steel}}, and the only Champion to exclusively use Pokémon of his type specialty.
** [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader to not have appeared in their original design in {{aniseries|PTS}}, having only appeared in his {{game|Emerald||Emerald}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} designs.
* Wallace's Pokémon in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} are the same Pokémon used by [[Juan]] against {{Ash}} in {{aniseries|JN}}.
* A number of Wallace's lines before, during, and after the {{player}}'s {{pkmn|battle}} with him in Emerald are extremely similar to [[Steven Stone]]'s at the same time periods in Ruby and Sapphire. In particular, the line Wallace says upon defeat is the same as Steven's, only with references to elegance added.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when he is battled in the [[Delta Episode]], he uses his Champion team from Emerald, with almost the same levels.
** Additionally, after completing the Delta Episode, Steven mentions to Wallace that he will relinquish his position as Champion at some time to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.

'''Drasna''' (Japanese: '''ドラセナ''' ''Dracaena'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:Drasna Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Drasna challenging the player]]
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Drasna appears as an [[Elite Four]] Trainer of [[Kalos]]. Her grandparents are from [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Celestic Town]] and taught her about the region's mythology surrounding {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, which inspired her to train {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], it is revealed that Drasna considers [[Pokémon battle|Pokémon battles]] to be a form of play. Drasna has a friendly, cheerful personality, but often shows a relaxed composure, which hints at her strength that knows no bounds.<ref>"[http://web.archive.org/web/20150904052820/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/characters/elite_four/ Challenge the Elite Four and the Champion!]" Pokémon X and Y Official Website (archived)</ref>

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Drasna first appeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw her on TV, being revealed to be his next [[World Coronation Series]] opponent. Later in the episode, she was seen having a brief battle with [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Castle of Chivalry]].

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Drasna and Ash faced each other at the [[Lumiose Conference]] stadium. She proved to be an extremely challenging opponent, but ultimately, Ash was able to defeat her, increasing his ranking. In this episode, it was revealed that {{an|Clemont}} had also battled her once and been easily defeated.

====Character====
Drasna has a very airy personality outside of battle. She is kind when referring to her opponents, offering them praise before and after a battle. Her gentle demeanor, however, drops just before and during battle, turning sickly sweet to the point where her opponents and peers are left slightly frightened. Even when irritated and frustrated, she still manages to maintain a smile, though there is a considerably less amount of warmth behind it at those times. Following her loss to Ash, she returns to her warm and amicable personality, offering Ash sincere praise, as well as becoming highly flattered at Bonnie's attempt to have her marry Clemont.

In battle, she utilizes her Pokémon's physical characteristics a great deal, such as Noivern's wings and Altaria's plumage to reduce damage. She combines such defensive strategies with powerful direct offense, enabling her to land multiple blows in quick succession to great effect.

====Pokémon====
During battle, it is shown that Drasna uses her Pokémon's unique physical characteristics to her advantage, such as {{P|Noivern}}'s massive wings and {{P|Altaria}}'s cotton like plumage to block powerful attacks.

This listing is of Drasna's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}:

[[File:Drasna Adventures.png|thumb|100px|Drasna in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Drasna debuts in ''[[PS587|Malamar Traps]]''. She first appears as a fantasy when Diantha informed [[Korrina]] about each of the Kalos Elite Four. She later debuts in person alongside Wikstrom, where she assists {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}'s group in their quest to stop Team Flare. As they left to confront Team Flare at their hiding place, Drasna gives X's group a letter containing information about {{adv|Zygarde}}. Later, Drasna battles against members of Team Flare at {{rt|22|Kalos}}.

After Team Flare is fully defeated, Drasna, the remaining Elite Four members, and Diantha carry the unconscious body of [[Malva]], who had turned out to be a member of Team Flare.

'''Flint''' (Japanese: '''オーバ''' ''Ōba'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Flint is the third member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]]. He is friends with [[Volkner]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. Flint's younger brother is [[Buck]], and their grandfather runs the [[Battleground]].

Flint first encounters the {{player}} in Sunyshore City, informing them about the recent blackouts and Volkner's disillusionment as a Gym Leader. He asks the player to bring back the excitement of Pokémon battles to Volkner, standing in front of the [[Sunyshore Gym]]'s door until the player has talked to Volkner at [[Vista Lighthouse]].

In Pokémon Platinum, Flint and Volkner challenge the player and their {{ga|Barry|rival}} to a [[Multi Battle]] when they first arrive at the [[Fight Area]].

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Flint can also be met and fought at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Ignitionshipping.png|thumb|250px|Flint and Volkner]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Flint was first mentioned in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'' by [[Lucian]], and again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' by [[Officer Jenny]].

Flint made his physical debut in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''. He noticed {{Ash}}'s determination as he walked by the [[Sunyshore Gym]], and went on to escort the group directly to [[Volkner]], who was hiding away in the [[Sunyshore Tower]]. After Volkner declined Ash's challenge to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, Flint took {{ashfr|the group}} to a café run by his old friend, the [[Proprietor]]. Flint explained that he used to battle the Sunyshore street hoodlums with his {{TP|Flint|Chimchar}} when he was younger. He came across Volkner one day and defeated him in battle, though the next time the pair met, Volkner won. The two soon became rivals and later good friends after having a Tag Battle against the Proprietor. After turning 20, Flint left his [[hometown]] and eventually became a member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]]. At the same time, Volkner became the Sunyshore Gym Leader.

[[File:Young Flint.png|left|thumb|250px|Young Flint and his Chimchar]]
However, Flint constantly returned to Sunyshore City to convince the increasingly despondent Volkner to start battling again. After Volkner refused Ash's challenge for a battle again, Flint battled Ash in his place and defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Buizel}} with his {{p|Infernape}} easily. In the process, Volkner observed the match and became reinvigorated upon observing Ash's teamwork with his Pokémon. Flint was glad to see this development and watched as Volkner reconsidered his decision to turn Ash away.

In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Flint sat in the grandstands to watch Volkner go up against Ash. The Gym battle was interrupted by {{TRT}} after they stole the Sunyshore Tower and caused the city to have a power outage. Flint, Volkner, and Ash all jumped onto the tower as Team Rocket was beginning to rocket into the sky, though Flint lost his grip and feel into the ocean below. However, he worked with {{an|Brock}} to provide pedal power to the local [[Pokémon Center]] during the crisis. Flint later watched as Volkner landed the Sunyshore Tower back onto the ground, and he wished {{an|Dawn}} the best with her upcoming {{pkmn|Contest}}s as she and her friends left Sunyshore.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Flint watched Volkner battle Ash again. In the [[DP180|next episode]], he saved {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Floatzel}} from Team Rocket and won against [[Jasmine]] in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}. He also revealed that he would be challenging {{an|Cynthia}} for the title of [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Ash and his friends watched Flint battle Cynthia at the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}} on TV in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. As mentioned by the emcee, Flint's Infernape managed to defeat two of Cynthia's Pokémon. However, Flint lost the match after his Infernape was defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]].

Flint made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Flint anime.png|thumb|250px|Flint in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Flint had a [[World Coronation Series]] battle against {{an|Leon}}, where he used Infernape against [[Leon's Charizard]], only to lose, causing his rank to drop from 7 to 8.

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Flint was revealed to have fallen out of the Master Class.

In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Flint was shown watching Cynthia's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Iris}}.

====Character====
Flint is a supportive friend, and despite all of his success as a member of the [[Elite Four]], he made several efforts to reach out to [[Volkner]] over the years. He is also passionate about battling and a prolific user of defense, a strategy he used to defeat {{Ash}} and later [[Jasmine]] of the [[Olivine Gym]]. In addition to strategy, in ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', Flint told Ash that having confidence in oneself is just as critical to being a successful [[Pokémon Trainer]].

====Pokémon====

===GOTCHA!===
Flint briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Flint Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Flint in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
Flint debuts in ''[[PS416|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI]]'', when [[Volkner]] invites him to help him investigate a giant hole that appeared in the [[Sendoff Spring]].

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
Flint and Volkner are seen in the [[Fight Area]] with their Pokémon. They are later seen investigating the hole at the Sendoff Spring when they receive a call from [[Buck]]. He tells Buck about the object that he is looking for at [[Stark Mountain]], the [[Magma Stone]], but the reception is lost and they get cut off.

Later, Flint and Volkner witness Platinum and her friends traveling to the Distortion World. Volkner teases Flint about caring that his younger brother has been injured, though Flint denies it and intends to defeat the person that beat Buck. Later, they arrive at the [[Sendoff Spring]], and enter the Distortion World through the [[Turnback Cave]].

Upon arriving, they are attacked by {{DL|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)|Giratina}} and are chased throughout the Distortion World by it. Despite a powerful combination attack they used, Giratina proves too powerful for them and defeats the two with a {{m|Dragon Breath}}. They manage to get up soon after, only for Giratina to leave to fight the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the area.

After Charon is defeated, Giratina tries one last time to attack Platinum, only for Flint and Volkner to attack it from behind and defeat it. Satisfied, the two hi-five each other in a prideful boast of their strength.

====Pokémon====
{{TrainerPoké

|epnum=PS417
|epname=Leaping Past Lopunny
|desc={{p|Magmortar}} is the only known Pokémon in Flint's possession. He was seen with Flint in the Fight Area along with Volkner and his {{p|Electivire}}. Later, he fought Giratina at the Distortion World only to be defeated. Later, he fought Giratina again, this time actually managing to defeat it.

Magmortar's only known move is {{m|Lava Plume}}, and his Ability is {{a|Flame Body}}.}}

[[File:Flint E4 DPA.png|thumb|200px|Flint in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Flint appeared in ''[[DPA24|Hareta's Heart's Desire]]'' as he found out about the tournament and wanted to compete in it. Rapidash was the first Pokémon sent out. It was up against [[Hareta's Empoleon]]. Despite the type-disadvantage, Rapidash was able to defeat Empoleon with a {{m|Sunny Day}}/{{m|SolarBeam}} combo. He recalls Rapidash and sends out Drifblim while Hareta sends out {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.

However, Hareta had no choice but to use Misdreavus as he was disallowed to use two Pokémon at once. Drifblim was able to defeat Misdreavus with {{m|Payback}} but due to it using {{m|Skill Swap}} beforehand, both Pokémon were out. Hareta than uses his Regigigas and Flint calls out Rapidash once again. Regigigas was able to defeat Rapidash with {{m|Mega Punch}}. Flint has one more Pokémon but resigns before even using it, giving Hareta the win.

Later, in ''[[DPA37|Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon]]'', he along with the Gym Leaders and Sinnoh Elite Four head to the Galactic HQ to take on the remaining Team Galactic grunts.

Drifblim's only known move is {{m|Payback}}, and its Ability is {{a|Aftermath}}{{tt|*|Skill Swapped by Hareta's Misdreavus}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Although he specializes in {{t|Fire}} types, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, only two of the five {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that Flint uses are actually Fire-type, with only eight Fire-type moves between them, only four of which are actual attacking moves. Each of Flint's Pokémon knows at least one Fire-type move. In {{game|Platinum}}, Flint's entire team consists of his type specialty.
** This can be attributed to the fact that Diamond and Pearl's [[List of Pokémon by_Sinnoh Pokédex number#Diamond and Pearl edition|Pokédex]] contains only two complete lines of Fire-type Pokémon, both of which he uses the final Evolutions of.
** Additionally each of Flint's non fire Fire-type Pokémon references fire. [[Drifblim (Pokémon)|Driftblim]] is based on a hot air balloon which uses fire to fly. [[Steelix (Pokémon)|Steelix]]'s pokedex entry describes it being "tempered underground under high pressure and heat". And [[Lopunny (Pokémon)|Lopunny]] is a reference to the tale [[wp:Kachi-kachi_Yama|Kachi Kachi (fire crackle) mountain]] a well known Japanese folktale. In the tale, a rabbit lights a bundle of kindling being carried by a tanuki, burning him badly, as revenge for the tanuki killing an old woman.
* Flint's {{p|Magmortar}} is the only Pokémon of a member of the Elite Four to use [[Seal]]s in Pokémon Platinum. Incidentally, it is used in the Double Battle with [[Volkner]], who uses his {{p|Electivire}}, the only Pokémon of a [[Gym Leader]] to have Seals.
* If the {{player}} talks to Volkner in the [[Villa]], he reveals that Flint uses Fire-type Pokémon due to his name.
* Flint is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four that doesn't have a Pokémon in any of his teams that knows {{m|Stone Edge}}.
* In {{B2W2}}, [[Shauntal]] mentions Flint in one of her pre-battle [[Shauntal/Quotes|quotes]] from her novels. She writes that his hairstyle "would be great with {{m|Head Charge}}," and that he is commanding a Pokémon to use {{m|Overheat}}.
* In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Flint}} reveals he met his {{p|Drifblim}} as a {{p|Drifloon}} at the [[Valley Windworks]].
* Flint has the least number of Pokémon {{SP|4}} (excluding LV.X cards) cards, with only four (the other Sinnoh Elite Four members have five each).
* In Pokémon Platinum, Flint and Volkner have many parallels in terms of their teams. Both use an [[Eeveelution]] corresponding to their specialty type and both use many "counterpart" Pokémon, including their highest level Pokémon Magmortar and Electivire, both of which are Pokémon that had prior Evolutions from other generations and received a third Evolution in [[Generation IV]], and can only evolve through a held-item trade. Another such counterpart is Houndoom and Luxray, both of which mimic animals relating to real world canines and felines.

'''Mars''' (Japanese: '''マーズ''' ''Mars'') is one of [[Team Galactic]]'s four {{tc|Commander}}s.

She appears to be related to [[Arezu]], having similar hair styles and colors, eye shapes, and naming schemes, along with similar posing in concept art, but the exact relationship between the two is unknown.

==In the core series games==
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, Mars is first seen leading the efforts of Team Galactic to control the [[Valley Windworks]] near {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}. Mars is then seen at [[Lake Verity]]. She makes her final appearance (along with [[Jupiter]]) atop the [[Spear Pillar]], in an attempt to slow down the player so [[Cyrus]] can awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]], but the {{player}} and their {{ga|Barry|rival}} overpower them.

In {{game|Platinum}}, at the Valley Windworks, Mars argues with [[Charon]], showing her distaste for his arrogant attitude. She also indicates a lower opinion of him for being a recent member. After the events at [[Stark Mountain]], she and Jupiter quit Team Galactic because Charon has different ideals from former boss Cyrus. It is also shown that Mars and Jupiter have a mutual dislike of each other. Mars mentions that she will try to enter the [[Distortion World]] to find Cyrus after quitting the team.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Mars can be found and fought at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
[[File:Mars anime.png|thumb|220px|Mars in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
Mars debuted in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]''. She, along with fellow {{tc|Commander}} [[Saturn]], attempted to steal the [[Lustrous Orb]] from the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]]. She also appeared in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', in which she informed [[Cyrus]] that the [[Red Chain]] project was nearing completion.

In ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', Mars and her {{TP|Mars|Purugly}} brought the [[Spear Key]] to [[Iron Island]], where she activated the Iron Ruins to find the exact location of the [[Spear Pillar]] on [[Mt. Coronet]]. After failing to complete the task in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', she attempted to blow up the island on Cyrus's orders, but she failed due to [[Riley]] and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} using [[Aura]] to contain the explosion. As a result, she stood down from field duties while Saturn was tasked with locating Spear Pillar.

She later appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''. After the disappearance of Cyrus in the latter episode, she became distraught and even tried following him, but was stopped by Saturn. The duo, along with Jupiter, were later arrested.

She appeared briefly in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' in {{TRT}}'s fantasy with all the other members of [[Team Galactic]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Mars reappeared in ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'' through ''[[JNS04|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4)]]'', taking part in Team Galactic's plan to bring back Cyrus. For this purpose, Team Galactic acquired {{p|Arceus}}'s [[Flame Plate]] and a {{p|Heatran}}, which were meant to power a device that would open a gate to the world that Cyrus had disappeared to. The operation, however, experienced a setback when the energy cannon exploded and Heatran went on a rampage. Mars and the other Commanders later faced Ash and his friends in order to stop them from interfering with them, but they were ultimately defeated and captured by {{an|Cynthia}} and later arrested by [[Officer Jenny]], ending their plan in a failure.

====Character====
Mars lacks the vindictive nature seen in her fellow Commanders. She was extremely loyal to [[Team Galactic]]'s cause and only acted in accordance with [[Cyrus]]'s direct orders.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Mars Saturn Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Mars and her Purugly with Saturn and his Croagunk in the manga]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
Mars makes her first appearance (in silhouette) at the [[Valley Windworks]], where she attempts to gather and steal energy from the power plant. She encounters {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}, who have come to find out what had happened to the Valley Windworks Manager. She battles them with her Pokémon, and once her {{p|Electivire}} had successfully gathered enough energy; she cut off one of the windmills and flew off with it.

She reappears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] after Saturn suffers his defeat by the hands of [[Paka and Uji]], where they get into an argument about how Saturn doesn't like people standing in his room. She presents the Electivire she had used to steal the Windworks energy previously and transfers it to the almost-complete Galactic Bomb.

The next time she is seen is when she travels to [[Lake Verity]] after Diamond manages to defeat her swarm of {{p|Yanmega}} that she had sent to [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab to steal some of his research. She destroys the controller to the machine that was commanding the Yanmega and voices her annoyance at using machines to do her work for her and is told by the Team Galactic Grunts that they have arrived at their destination.

When Mars arrives at the Lake, she encounters Diamond's [[Johanna|mother]] picking Berries and takes her hostage. When Diamond arrives at the Lake to rescue his mother, he finds out that he's too late; Mars has already found her. Mars introduces herself as one of the three Team Galactic Commanders chosen by [[Cyrus]], and offers Diamond a chance to watch the Lake's upcoming explosion; an offer he refuses.

During the ensuing battle, Johanna manages to escape to safety while Diamond takes to the skies with Mars following him. Mars easily overpowers him in the air long enough for the countdown to reach “0” and waits for the Lake's imminent explosion. Despite being disappointed that her Lake wasn't the one blown up, she continues her plans and successfully captures {{DL|Lake guardians (Adventures)|Mesprit}} and takes her leave. However, unbeknownst to her, Dia had snuck on the Airship and is on his way to the Team Galactic HQ.

She later appears at the Team Galactic HQ along with her fellow Commanders Saturn and [[Jupiter]], who were also successful in their attempts in capturing {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Uxie}}, respectively. Later, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and all of the Galactic Grunts bear witness to Cyrus giving a speech about how they will create a new world with no spirit and set off to finish their plans.

She later appears along with Saturn and Jupiter to deliver a message to Cyrus about how {{adv|Pearl|an intruder}} has infiltrated their defenses; Cyrus tells them to ignore it and go to the Spear Pillar. Later, at the Spear Pillar, she greets Cyrus when he arrives, but is surprised to seem him wounded; Cyrus tells them to not let anyone stop his ritual, which they all promise to do.

Immediately after, they are attacked by the Sinnoh Gym Leaders [[Fantina]], [[Roark]], and [[Gardenia]], and they battle them to prevent them from reaching Cyrus. Mars and the other Commanders are evenly matched with the Sinnoh Gym Leaders until reinforcements arrive to help them; Mars battles [[Crasher Wake]] and Gardenia, but despite her power, she is eventually defeated.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
Later, Mars and her teammates are joined by another member of Team Galactic, [[Sird]]. Sird explains to them that she had infiltrated Team Rocket on a mission, but failed. Soon after, they are attacked by [[Riley]] of Iron Island, who had tracked Sird by her Aura. Sird battles Riley, allowing Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn to escape unharmed.

Later, Mars and her teammates witness Charon battling Diamond and Pearl in [[Eterna City]] with {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Giratina}}. Despite their irritation that Charon has revealed his true loyalties, they decide to ignore it so that they can enter the Distortion World and rescue Cyrus. After arriving, they find Charon there as well. He lies and tells them that he is searching for Cyrus too, but is being attacked by a group of people and asks for their help.

Mars and the others comply, and they each face a different opponent in a one-on-one battle. Mars faces [[Cheryl]] in battle, while Jupiter faces [[Marley]], and Saturn faces [[Mira]]. During the battle, the two seem evenly matched, and they constantly stop each other's strategies.

The battle is interrupted by Giratina, who flies past them so that it can fight the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the area. After Charon is defeated, Mars, her fellow Commanders, and Cyrus emerge from the Distortion World and into the real world. Charon tries to lie to Cyrus by claiming that he intended to gather the Legendary Pokémon for Team Galactic's sake. Cyrus reaches down to Charon, which Mars and Saturn think means he's going to pinch him. However, Cyrus only takes his machine, and praises Charon for his technological genius. The records reveal that he has been using it since the battle on the Spear Pillar, which angers Saturn into figuring out that he was attempting to use the machine to control Dialga and Palkia into opening a hole to the Distortion World, to which Charon denies.

Cyrus speaks to his four Commanders once more and reveals that he is disbanding Team Galactic, which angers Jupiter because she, Mars, and Saturn will have nowhere else to go without him. Hearing her wishes, Cyrus takes Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter away with him and thanks Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum for their help.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[File:Mars DPA.png|thumb|150px|Mars in the Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga]]
Mars first appeared in this manga at the [[Valley Windworks]], attempting to steal the energy from the power plant. [[Hareta]] and {{OBP|Jun|DPA}} managed to defeat her.

She later reappeared in a special chapter, in which she attempted and failed to capture a {{p|Deoxys}}. During her battle with it, her {{p|Kangaskhan}} went out of control, requiring the help of Hareta and the Deoxys to stop it from rampaging.

Mars later, alongside [[Saturn]], assists Hareta, Mitsumi and the others in defeating Dialga when its powers threaten to destroy Sinnoh.

==Trivia==
* Mars's name was changed to Venus in {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} versions of the game, likely due to the fact that Mars is the name of a male Roman god. This also happened to [[Jupiter]].
* Mars is the Commander the player will battle the most times in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. The player will battle [[Saturn]] twice in each game, Jupiter twice in Diamond and Pearl but three times in Platinum, while Mars is battled three times in Diamond and Pearl and four times in Platinum, although it should be noted one of Jupiter and Mars's battles are together in a Multi Battle.
* In Mars's first battle, she uses a level 16{{sup/4|DP}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} or 17{{sup/4|Pt}} {{p|Purugly}}, even though it evolves from {{p|Glameow}} at level 38.

'''Geeta''' (Japanese: '''オモダカ''' ''Omodaka'') is the chairwoman of the {{pal|Pokémon League}} in [[Paldea]], as well as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy|Naranja]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]'s{{sup/9|V}} school board. She is Paldea's highest-ranked {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, the strongest among the region's Champion-ranked Trainers, and the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} with the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Top Champion''' (Japanese: '''トップチャンピオン''' ''Top Champion''). Geeta is widely known across Paldea as '''''La Primera''''' (Japanese: '''トップ''' ''Top''), literally Spanish for "The First", a title derived from her positions as Top Champion and chairwoman.

==In the core series games==
Geeta is depicted as having a caring and wise personality, along with a calm and pragmatic demeanor. She actively supports the growth of Trainers, as shown when she acknowledges [[Nemona]]'s enthusiasm for battling and her desire for a personal rival, noting that Nemona approaches her battles with the player with a level of seriousness she had not previously shown, even against herself. She also takes particular interest in the player's progression to Champion rank. Geeta further remarks that she is "utterly incapable of holding back when it comes to Pokémon battles".

As Top Champion and chairwoman of the Pokémon League, Geeta oversees Paldea's [[Gym]]s and the [[Elite Four]]. She also performs inspections of the Gyms via battles multiple times a year. Typically, she is the one who battles the Gym Leaders, but after the player becomes a [[Champion]], she will send them to perform the inspections instead. She is a very powerful figure in Paldea's Pokémon League, as evidenced by her personally choosing all of the region's [[Gym Leader]]s<ref>'''Geeta''': ''"To find this out, I ask that you bring your full might as Champion to bear against each of the Gym Leaders and test their prowess in battle. They are all Trainers of exceptional talent, handpicked by me personally."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> and, according to [[Rika]], using her skill to influence the members of the Elite Four into joining.<ref>'''Rika''': ''"Her skills are so amazing, she was able to strong-arm all of us into joining the Elite Four."'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)</ref> Additionally, she has instructed [[Katy]] to "go soft" during Gym Battles and [[Larry]] to use a different [[type]] for his Elite Four battles, the former because the [[Cortondo Gym]] is near Naranja{{sup/9|S}}/Uva{{sup/9|V}} Academy and therefore attracts many novice Trainers. She also has a lot of involvement with Naranja{{sup/9|S}}/Uva{{sup/9|V}} Academy as the chairwoman of its school board; she states that the academy's entrance hall was redesigned by her and renovated a few years ago, suggesting that is why it is filled with books.<ref>'''Geeta''': ''"Now, tell me… What do you think of our entrance hall? Do you enjoy being surrounded by books? [...] That’s good to hear. It was renovated a few years ago, and I was the one who came up with the new design!"'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)</ref>

Members of Paldea's Pokémon League have mixed opinions of Geeta; Rika praises her before the player battles her in their Champion Assessment, while several Gym Leaders express discomfort towards her during Gym inspections. Katy expresses dissatisfaction about being unable to battle at her full strength during Gym battles, [[Tulip]] says she is "not exactly [Geeta’s] biggest fan", [[Grusha]] admits that inspections make him anxious because he fears that he will have nothing left if he does not pass them, and [[Ryme]] briefly expresses irritation that Geeta sent the player to inspect the [[Montenevera Gym]] in her place.

===Victory Road===
After the player has obtained all eight [[Gym Badges]] and defeated the Elite Four, they can battle Geeta, the Top Champion of Paldea's Pokémon League, on the building's rooftop. The player emerges as a Champion-ranked Trainer upon victory, while Geeta and the Elite Four members congratulate the player. Upon exiting the building, the player is greeted by [[Nemona]], who excitedly asks the player whether they have become a Champion already. She wants to immediately challenge them to battle, but Geeta reminds her that “Champions must be understanding toward their opponents” and advises she let the player rest before finding a more suitable battlefield.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
Geeta is mentioned, but not seen, in this storyline. After the player successfully completes Operation Starfall and reforms Team Star, [[Penny]] confesses to Director [[Clavell]] that she illegally hacked the Pokémon League's [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward them. Clavell brings Geeta to the academy to decide on Penny's consequences. However, the two ultimately praise Penny for her technical skills and Geeta recruits her into voluntarily helping her with engineering for the League, inviting Penny to work there after she graduates.

===Post-game===
After the player's adventure in [[Area Zero]], Clavell and Nemona decide to host a Pokémon battle tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Geeta agrees to give the Pokémon League's support in sponsoring the event, but when Nemona invites Geeta to participate, Geeta is initially unable to do so as she is preoccupied by her imminent Gym inspections. The player agrees to do the inspections in Geeta's stead, giving her time to compete in the event, now named the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], appearing as the player's final opponent when it is held for the first time. She can be battled as a random final opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.
===The Indigo Disk===
After the player becomes Champion of the BB League, Geeta travels to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] with Rika to ask the player, [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]]'s assistance in venturing through [[Area Zero]] with [[Briar]]. She gives the player the [[Indigo Disk]] to access the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] before leaving with Rika. Afterwards, Geeta can be invited back to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be [[rematch]]ed with an altered team. She may also interact with other Trainers in the [[League Club Room]]; in one instance, Geeta, when talking with [[Poppy]], discovers that Poppy is trying to draw a picture of her, which is a nod to Geeta's concept art.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231217021830/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1736207644665221229</ref>

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Geeta debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', being introduced as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy]]'s school board to [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. She and [[Clavell]] explained the [[Tera Training]] course to the new students and gave the three their own [[Tera Orb]]s. She later watched the battle between Liko and [[Ann]] along with the Paldea [[Elite Four]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' and ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Geeta appeared watching the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] battles. During Liko and [[Katy]]'s battle against [[Rika]], Geeta noticed [[Grusha]]'s interest in the young Trainer.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', alongside Clavell, Geeta was introduced to {{an|Terapagos}} during a meeting with [[Friede]], Liko, Roy, and Dot. After telling them what she knew about the Pokémon, Geeta talked about [[Area Zero]], and together with Clavell recommended that the group seek help from [[Raifort]] to find out more about Terapagos and [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Geeta was talking with Ryme and Larry during the Naranja Academy tournament. Later, she, alongside Clavell were in the staffroom with Liko and Grusha. Geeta and Clavell informed Liko that Grusha re-evaluated his thoughts and passed Liko in her implementation test due to her heroic acts of fighting against the Explorers and winning to protect the school. Geeta further complimented Liko on how her battling skills are truly worthy of using Terastallization in battle, much to Liko's surprise and joy.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Geeta and Rika met up with Liko to discuss the results of her training, she then watched Liko's battle against Roy.

In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', Geeta battled against Liko, Roy, and Dot to test their strength and see if they are fit to enter Area Zero. Geeta managed to defeat Roy and Dot before losing to Liko, resulting in her loss and giving the Rising Volt Tacklers permission to enter Area Zero.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Geeta meet Liko and the others again as she still believes the Rising Volt Tacklers are not enemies. After attending a lecture by Dot about the [[Strong Sphere]] with Clavell, Geeta decided to appoint [[Jacq]] to study [[Laquium]] and its effects on Pokémon.

====Character====
Geeta has a calm, kind, and polite personality, and as the head of the Paldea Pokémon League she takes her work very seriously. She is encouraging and honorable as a person such as when she encouraged Liko on her progress as a trainer, and congratulated her passing Grusha's test and saving the school. Befitting her status as the Paldea champion, Geeta is a strong and experienced trainer who loves battling against other strong trainers, and is very strategic with her attack plans against her opponents, usually staying calm and focused mid battle. According to her, she is incapable of holding back in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

==In the manga==
[[File:Geeta Adventures.png|thumb|x300px|Geeta in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Geeta debuted in [[PASV12]]. She, along with [[Rika]], was first seen watching the [[Gym]] battle between {{Scarlet}} and [[Iono]] in [[Levincia]]. Later that night, Geeta and Rika encountered Scarlet and tried introducing themselves to her, only for the latter to coldly ignore them.

Later, Geeta, Rika, [[Poppy]], and [[Hassel]] appeared outside the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]] to greet [[Larry]]. Geeta explained that everyone came to investigate a report the Pokémon League received claiming that Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, though noted it was likely false. Larry clarified the Trainers he fought were [[Team Star]] members harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. When Geeta mentioned a fake student hired by [[Raifort]] to look for the [[treasures of ruin]], Rika remembered seeing Raifort with Scarlet the night they met and concluded the latter was the fake student in question.

Later, [[Nemona]] received a phone call from Geeta, who requested that she come meet with her at the [[Medali Gym|Treasure Eatery]]. Geeta specified the meeting was for Champion-ranked Trainers only, so Nemona was forced to temporarily split off from traveling with Scarlet.

==In the TCG==
[[File:GeetaObsidianFlames226.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Geeta]]
{{main|Geeta (Obsidian Flames 188)}}
'''Geeta''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[DOM]] were released in the same sets. It allows players to search their deck for up to 2 {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s and attach them to one of their Pokémon; the trade-off, however, is that none of the player's Pokémon can attack after the card is used until the end of that player's turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Geeta is shown in concept art to be fond of [[Poppy]], giving her candy to keep in her key-shaped purse and spending time with her while Poppy draws.
* Geeta's original team can be seen to represent the different biomes around [[Paldea]]:
** {{p|Espathra}} are found in [[Asado Desert]]
** {{p|Gogoat}} are found in mountainous areas
** {{p|Veluza}} are found in the seas
** {{p|Avalugg}} represents [[Glaseado Mountain]]
** {{p|Kingambit}} represents the bamboo groves of [[North Province (Area Two)]]
** {{p|Glimmora}} are found in [[Area Zero]]
** Geeta's team after completing [[The Indigo Disk]] further represents various biomes:
*** {{p|Dragapult}} are found near lakes and swamps
*** {{p|Chesnaught}} represents Geeta's visit to the [[Terarium]]
* In [[Pokémon HOME]], a [[Research Task (HOME)|Research Task]] titled "The Pokémon of the [[Elite Four]]" that features the final Pokémon on the teams of each member of Paldea's Elite Four also features Glimmora to represent Geeta, implying her to be an Elite Four member, though this is not stated in the games.

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Ult]] have arrived in [[Galar]] to meet with Orla, who is doing maintenance somewhere. Later, she greets [[Karna]] as the two begin their work at [[Karna's Poké Ball factory]] for the day. Karna rushes her part of the work due to an order that needs to be completed by the next day, resulting in her slipping on a [[Poké Ball]] in the process. After being helped up by Orla, the two talk about Karna wanting to make Poké Balls instead of the strange order, since that is what Karna is more passionate about and accidentally drinks {{p|Sinistea}}'s tea. When Orla scolds Sinistea and {{p|Polteageist}} for the prank, the doorbell rings, making Karna worried it's the customers who made the strange order coming unexpectedly early.

Instead, she is pleasantly surprised to see some familiar faces. While Karna happily greets Liko and Roy, noting their Pokémon had [[Evolution|evolved]] since [[HZ029|they last met]], Dot and Ult introduce themselves and their Pokémon. Orla steps out and greets everyone, with Ult introducing himself from behind a bush. Despite Karna's invitation for tea, Ult forces the other three to explain their presence. As Roy and Dot lecture him for his rudeness, Orla prompts them to continue, but is caught off guard when Liko, Roy, and Dot reveal what they have been up to and request her to make a new airship for them. However, she coldly denies their request and heads back into the factory, sparking concern from the rest. Ult suggests asking Orla again, but Liko opts to wait for her calm down. Just then, [[Captain Pikachu]] senses something and leads Liko, Roy, and Dot somewhere, leaving Ult alone as he collapses after drinking Sinistea's tea.

Following Cap deeper into the forest, the group is stunned to see the [[Brave Olivine]], not only not dismantled as [[Murdock]] said it should've been, but also the wild Pokémon still living aboard the ship. Liko becomes confused at what they're seeing before them just as Karna tiredly offers them an explanation. As the Pokémon celebrate their reunion, Karna reveals Orla had landed in the forest with the Brave Olivine alone a year ago and asked to work at Karna's factory, which led to the two working together. Sometime later, Orla revealed [[HZ089|the events on]] [[Mount Pericarp]] and the disbandment of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to Karna. The airship wasn't dismantled so that the wild Pokémon on board could continue living there together. Karna admits she notices how the wild Pokémon seem to be happier when Orla or the kids are around. She further reveals Orla does not want to fly the Brave Olivine or go adventuring once more, but she believes her friend is hiding her true feelings away. In the evening, the trio send Ult and his {{p|Sableye}} away so they could head somewhere else.

The next day, Karna tries to persuade Orla to listen to Liko and the others, but the latter adamantly refuses and changes the subject to her being grateful for letting her work at the factory to keep her mind off some matters. While she is concerned about Orla, Karna suggests her friend takes a break while she deals with the customers coming for the order. As she walks in the forest, Orla recalls the time [[Friede]] [[HZ018|asked her to make an airship]] and watching him being blown off. She finds herself at the Brave Olivine, also finding Liko, Roy, and Dot standing before the airship. She attempts to dissuade them from asking more from her, but is taken aback when Liko apologizes, explaining how they actually entered the Brave Olivine earlier and found everything to be in perfect condition thanks to the engineer's efforts. The trio asks Orla for her true thoughts on the matter, but she snaps at them, saying there's nothing now that Friede is gone.

However, Liko feels differently, saying since they're restarting their adventure as the Rising Volt Tacklers, it didn't feel like Friede is gone. Rather, it's a path he would make. Investigating the [[Laquium]], keeping their promise to [[Lucius]], getting the truth back, all of that is something the trio believe Friede would have done, and hence why they feel like they are adventuring together with Friede again. Seeing Cap sitting on his usual place in the Brave Olivine through the window, Orla realizes she has been so stuck in her thoughts of the past that she never spared a thought for the future.

Just then, the group hears an explosion, prompting the kids to head for the source as Orla hesitates. With her {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Elekid}}'s encouragement, she follows behind the kids. At Karna's factory, Ult is trying to chase away two people, who are picking up the order that had Karna rushing. When Liko, Roy, and Dot arrive, Ult explains that order the two people are trying to pick up are [[Strong Sphere]]s. The two try to reassure the group of the Strong Spheres being safe by passing various safety checks, and that the order was for just their exterior shells, but the kids explain it uses Laquium, which harms Pokémon. Hearing this, Karna withdraws from the job, declaring she refuses to make something that would hurt Pokémon when she began her job to create Poké Balls that connect {{pkmn|Trainers}} to their precious partners. With Karna's declaration, [[Indy|two]] [[Rubella|unknown]] [[Explorers]] enter the conversation, dismissing the claims made against the Strong Spheres. Karna urges Liko and Roy to leave, but when the two Explorers hear their names, they realize they are from the Rising Volt Tacklers and deems the group is up to no good once more by getting in the way, sending out their [[Paldean form|Paldean Form]] {{p|Tauros}}, one a {{form|Paldean Tauros|Aqua Breed}} and the other a {{form|Paldean Tauros|Blaze Breed}}, for battle. The two Explorers use the Strong Spheres on their Pokémon, ready to battle Liko and the others not only for the Strong Sphere exterior parts, but to also get rid of them.

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] arrive at Patisserie Soapberry in [[Cortondo]] just as [[Murdock]] enthusiastically greets [[Dot]], who arrived at the same time in a [[Flying Taxi]]. [[Katy]] exits her store to greet Liko, and everyone heads upstairs to eat some sweets. Liko and Roy introduce Ult to Murdock as {{TP|Murdock|Alcremie}} creates some whipped cream for [[Pagogo]]. Seeing the whipped cream, Ult asks for some too, only for {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}}, and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} to ask for some as well, causing the group to fight. Fed up with the fighting, [[Liko's Hattrem]] and [[Captain Pikachu]] set them in order, allowing Alcremie to happily make some whipped cream for the four of them. Cap is introduced to Katy, who notices Liko has an additional partner [[HZ067|since they last met]].

Roy asks about Murdock's {{p|Rockruff}}, and is happy to learn it [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{form|Lycanroc|Midday Form}} {{TP|Murdock|Lycanroc}}. When Lycanroc appears before them, almost everyone is stunned to see it chubby while Liko finds it cute, petting it along with {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and Pagogo. When Dot asks how it came to be this way, Murdock sheepishly revealed it was from tasting all the sweets he made since he started working at Patisserie Soapberry after the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] disbanded. Ult continues to stuff himself with sweets as everyone is talking, but ends up choking on them. He is unable to interact with Katy well after she offers a drink to help him, and he falls over when she approaches him. Dot and {{p|Sableye}} help him up, but Ult becomes shocked when he finds out Dot is actually a girl, unable to discern from the [[Rotom Phone]] this whole time.

Trying to divert the attention away, Ult brings up the [[Explorers]], [[Exceed]], and the [[Strong Sphere]]. Dot bluntly reveals they're starting their adventure again, with Liko and Roy explaining they reformed the Rising Volt Tacklers to retrieve the truth and expose the Explorers. Katy is pleased to see the kids have created their own path while Murdock becomes concerned for them. Despite Liko's attempts to ease his worries, Murdock remains unconvinced. Katy suggests having a {{pkmn|battle}} with Liko to alleviate Murdock's worries, which she agrees to. The [[Gym Leader]] then reveals her {{p|Teddiursa}}, Teddy, had evolved into {{p|Ursaring}} before choosing Pagogo as her opponent, catching the others off guard.

At the battlefield, Pagogo {{a|Tera Shift|transforms}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} before the battle starts. Katy begins by having Teddy use {{m|High Horsepower}}, which Pagogo blocks with {{m|Protect}} before using {{m|Ancient Power}} that is smacked away by Teddy with {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Teddy keeps on the offensive by attacking with {{m|Fury Cutter}}, shattering Pagogo's Protect and sending it flying. Liko sends Pagogo straight to Teddy with a plan in mind. When the two Pokémon are close enough, Katy attempts to have the {{pkmn|category|Hibernator Pokémon}} use Hammer Arm to beat down Pagogo, but Liko has it attack with {{m|Rapid Spin}} to land some attacks. Impressed by Liko's growth, Katy {{Tera}}stallizes Teddy into the {{t|Bug}} type. Pagogo attacks with Ancient Power, its stats increasing in the process, as Teddy charges towards the Tera Pokémon with a flurry of Fury Cutters. Pagogo holds on until it makes a signal to Liko, who has it use {{m|Tera Starstorm}}, successfully defeating Teddy when it couldn't defend itself.

While the others congratulate Liko on her win, Murdock tells Liko she had shown him what one would expect from a Rising Volt Tackler, completely alleviated of his worries. Now that Murdock is in the loop, Ult suggests moving on elsewhere. As Roy and Ult argue, Dot agrees with going elsewhere now, but prefers to gather information for their investigation at the same time. As one, the three young Rising Volt Tacklers realize they need the [[Brave Olivine]]. To Liko and Dot's dismay, Murdock reveals [[Orla]] planned to dismantle the airship after they separated. However, Roy and Ult come up with the idea of asking Orla to make a new airship for them. With a plan set in course, the kids set off to meet Orla while Murdock and Katy see them off. Shortly after, Murdock reveals despite being the one who declared the Rising Volt Tacklers should disband in order to not hold the kids back, he still wanted to travel with everyone. Katy advises Murdock he could still fly since Liko and the others have done so despite their complicated circumstances, making Murdock come to a realization of his own.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Upon arriving at {{an|Iono}}'s studio, [[Dot]] asks for the reason why Iono had called. Remembering Dot has been asking for information on Pokémon acting strange, Iono reveals she saw something similar in [[Levincia]] as she sends some camera footage to Dot. When watching the footage, the Levincia [[Gym Leader]] discloses it was a {{p|Stunfisk}} that had been causing trouble on the Pokémon. However, Dot notes that particular Stunfisk is moving faster than normal before noticing the [[Laquium|Laquium Sign]] left behind.

Provided with more clues on the situation, Dot heads to Levincia to investigate further, with Iono unable to join her due to her scheduled livestream. As Dot searches for the Stunfisk, an advertisement of [[Exceed]] plays on the screen, causing her to wonder if their [[Strong Sphere]]s are related to the Stunfisk exhibiting Laquium Signs. At that moment, a few Pokémon get electrocuted, resulting in Dot searching the area closely, finding a spot of mud that Stunfisk uses to hide itself. When [[Dot's Quaxwell]] stops {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}} from entering the mud, he gets electrocuted instead as a [[Rotom Phone]] is spotted floating above them. The group chases after Stunfisk and the Rotom Phone, finding themselves in an alley.

Dot confronts Stunfisk's {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Stunner Fisk]], who reveals he used the Strong Sphere, which he attained by signing up as a product tester, on his Stunfisk to increase its speed, allowing it to electrocute Pokémon in a wider range, with Stunner Fisk taking pictures of their shocked faces and making videos for his own channel in order to go viral and get Iono's attention. Stunner Fisk then realizes Dot is the Trainer that Iono {{pkmn|battle}}d during the [[Tera Training]] and decides to battle her to further his goals. Having no other choice, Dot sends out Quaxwell as Stunfisk uses {{m|Mud-Slap}} to hide itself. Aware of the likelihood of Quaxwell stepping on Stunfisk, Dot has him use {{m|Aqua Cutter}} to wash away the mud and land a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] attack on the {{pkmn|category|Trap Pokémon}}. Stunfisk counterattacks with {{m|Electroweb}} that Quaxwell dodges. Dot gets Quaxwell to use another Aqua Cutter on Stunfisk, which weakened it.
[[File:Dot and Tinkatuff.png|thumb|left|250px|Dot praising Tinkatuff after winning the battle]]
Stunner Fisk becomes upset with the situation and uses the Strong Sphere on Stunfisk, enhancing its stats. Quaxwell tries to use a series of Aqua Cutters, but with its speed increased, Stunfisk easily evades the attacks and counters with an Electroweb that cuts through another Aqua Cutter sent its way. When Quaxwell stumbles as a result of being hit by Electroweb, Stunfisk slides under his foot, allowing it to electrocute him, severely damaging the Practicing Pokémon and forcing Dot to [[recall]] him and send out Tinkatuff. Despite Tinkatuff's best attempts to attack with {{m|Slam}}, Stunfisk manages to dodge it all and lands the same attack combination on her. As Stunner Fisk realizes something is off with his Stunfisk, Tinkatuff charges in with Slam again. When it sends an Electroweb again, Dot has Tinkatuff use {{m|Brutal Swing}} to nullify the attack, learning {{m|Metal Claw}} in the process. With the opportunity created by Tinkatuff, Dot {{Tera}}stallizes the Hammer Pokémon into the {{t|Steel}} type. Tinkatuff then lands a successful attack with Metal Claw. Unable to stop itself and ignoring its Trainer's plea, Stunfisk continuously attacks with jolts of electricity that Tinkatuff manages to cut through, successfully defeating Stunfisk with a Metal Claw when it tires itself out from the rampage.

As Stunner Fisk checks on his Stunfisk, Iono (who had been watching for some time) calls Dot to congratulate her on winning the battle. She also addresses Stunner Fisk, who is disheartened at pushing Stunfisk until it lost the smile he loved. When he declares his intent to stop making videos, Iono instead proposes a challenge to motivate him to pursue his goals once more, this time without using the Strong Sphere that Stunner Fisk subsequently smashes to the ground. Later, Dot updates [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] on what happened in Levincia as [[Ult]] struggles with his motion sickness caused by the ferry they are taking. When she hears they are almost at [[Cortondo]], Dot scrambles to find a way to get there quickly. Iono then arrives in a [[Flying Taxi]], having hired one for Dot to use to get to Cortondo and reunite with her friends.

==Major events==

* [[Dot]] reunites with {{an|Iono}} in [[Levincia]] on her way to [[Cortondo]].
* [[Dot's Tinkatuff]] learns {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{Tera}}stallizes for the first time.
** In the process, Dot's Tinkatuff's Tera Type is revealed to be {{t|Steel}}.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] return to [[Mochew City]] late at night, but as they arrive, [[Pagogo]] is highly interested in going to a nearby mountain. [[Dot]] notices, and points out that it is in the direction of [[Blackthorn City]], home to {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s. Roy is interested, but Dot is intrigued by the fact that someone had seen a [[Black Rayquaza]] on a mountain nearby, almost a year prior. They all rush off towards the mountain, ready to complete their mission, and not knowing what they are about to run into.

Though Ult is excited to finally get close to finding Rayquaza, the others realise it is already late. They set up camp by a stream along their path, and their partner Pokémon help by setting up a campfire. But soon, Ult confronts Roy, as he believes it is a trick to get him to fall asleep so that they can ditch him again. He goes off on his own, despite the others' warnings, only to immediately end up going in a circle and returning to the campsite. He helps Liko make pancakes by the fire. She asks him why he wants to find the Black Rayquaza, to which he answers that he wants to become the strongest trainer there is, but he is not very open to further conversation, and climbs onto a tree branch to be alone. He doesn't even come down when the pancakes shaped as members of the team are finished, despite his hunger and his {{p|Sableye}} abandoning him to eat, and Liko gets a little concerned.

He finally comes down when the others are asleep, scolds Sableye for leaving him be, and ponders what to do, before Sableye offers him a pancake. He loves it, and they both eat the entire stash of pancakes, but this angers Roy once they all wake up, as it was supposed to be their breakfast. Liko just wants them to get along, and they leave together after she suggests they eat [[Berry|berries]] on the way, but the boys are still annoyed at each other. They ask a passing traveler about the Black Rayquaza. While he knows nothing about that, he warns them about [[Team Dragon Rampage]], who are roaming nearby. They acknowledge his warnings, stories about the Gang mugging people and stealing their Poké Balls, and the knowledge that the hideout is exactly along their path, and continue their trek up the mountain.

On a mountain path, they are met by three masked people, riding atop {{p|Cyclizar}}, who introduce themselves as Team Dragon Rampage. They tell the children to stay out of their territory, and recoil in shock at the mention of Rayquaza. Roy assures them that he is acquainted with the Black Rayquaza, that they traveled to [[Laqua]] together, and that he is ''not'' a member of the rival gang Team Wriggle, though Team Dragon Rampage does not believe any of that. A fight breaks out between the Cyclizar, [[Roy's Lucario]], and soon Sableye as well. A collision between {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Power Gem}} causes a whirlwind, which blows off the Gang's masks, revealing them to all be women, to Ult's shock and fear. His loss of respect angers the leader, and they launch a combined {{m|Dragon Rush}}. Sableye dodged the first Cyclizar, but was knocked to the ground by the others. Now that the battle is over, the Gang put on their masks, and take off on their Cyclizar. Pagogo exits its Poké Ball and insists that they continue up the mountain path, so that is what they do.

While stopping briefly, they notice [[Snake|a man]] with an {{p|Arbok}} stealing an egg from a nest, which immediately hatches as a {{p|Dratini}}, and places it into a cage. Ult does not stand for it, and gets Sableye to preemptively attack with {{m|Shadow Sneak}}, but Arbok sees it coming at the last moment. This man is a member of the aforementioned Team Wriggle, and antagonizes the children by assuming their affiliation with Team Dragon Rampage. Ult is sure he alone can take him, before a {{p|Seviper}} jumps out of nowhere. Its poison attack could harm the remaining eggs, if {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} had not jumped into just in time. Liko convinces Ult that collaboration is what will make him stronger, and so both he and Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] their Pokémon. Meowscarada holds the snakes in place, and a combined high-power attack sends Team Wriggle running away. Ult is a little uncomfortable to have worked together with Roy, but proud of their victory. Soon enough, Team Dragon Rampage, who had been watching from afar, congratulate them on saving the eggs. Liko asks about the Black Rayquaza, and this time, they invite the children to join them in their hideout... except for Ult, who showed less-than-honorable intentions with meeting Rayquaza, and had to run after them.

In a cavern deep in the mountain, the Gang shows them the clearing where the Black Rayquaza is resting. Pagogo's call is what awakes it, something that seemingly hasn't happened in a long time. This place is a shrine where Dragon-type Pokémon can regain energy, and where Rayquaza has been slumbering for the last year. The Gang's only intentions was to protect Rayquaza once it lay to rest, and not let others find out about its presence by spreading bad rumours about themselves. Roy and Liko wish Rayquaza well, and for its quick recovery, but Ult is not impressed. The slumbering Pokémon before him is not strong enough for him, and Ult wants it to regain its strength so that he can complete his goal, and become the strongest trainer. They wish Team Dragon Rampage good luck in their mission to protect Rayquaza until the day when it can fly again.

Dot is surprised to hear all that has happened, and helps the group to decide their next course of action. She suggests that they return to the Paldea region, and reunite with Murdock, who she has recently discovered is working with [[Katy]]. They agree to meet in [[Cortondo]], and Ult does too, and they set off. Dot gets ready to leave as well, but as she packs up her room, she gets a phone call from {{an|Iono}}.

* [[Ult]] is revealed to own a [[Dusk Ball]] with an unknown Pokémon inside.
* The [[Black Rayquaza]] is revealed to have been slumbering for the past year in a cave near [[Blackthorn City]].
* [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] reunite with the Black Rayquaza, while Ult meets it for the first time.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
During breakfast in a hotel lobby in [[Mochew City]], [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] discuss the [[Exceed Testing Center|facility]] that [[HZ094|was found earlier]] and the upcoming demonstration of a [[Strong Sphere|new product]]. Liko and Roy believe there is a connection between the product demonstration and {{p|Vileplume}} going berserk near the building and decide to investigate further, with Dot deciding to collect more information in the meantime.

At the Testing Center, Liko and Roy see a bus dropping off some Trainers including [[Ult]], who appears off. They then get spotted by a security guard, who mistake them as more Trainers arriving for the demonstration, and are ushered in. As the demonstration starts, Liko and Roy witness [[Dash]] being given a Strong Sphere and using it on her {{p|Swanna}} during a {{pkmn|battle}} against an [[Exceed]] employee to win the battle. During the battle, the two notice similarities between Swanna and the rampaging Pokémon, concluding the Strong Sphere uses [[Laquium]]. Afterwards, they reconnect with Dash, who seem excited to have something to help her win against [[Niko|her]] [[Rob|friends]], while her Swanna comes up to them exhausted. Dash brings her Swanna out for some rest while Roy spots Ult in the crowd. When Roy greets the younger boy, he is surprised to be brushed off instead, sparking concern from Roy.

At that moment, the announcer returns with some special guests – [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] from the [[Explorers]]. Coral happily entertains the crowd as Sidian spots the two [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], alerting Coral, who is also stunned to see them. The announcer declares the Explorers are having an exhibition match, with the two admins deciding to have Liko and Roy as their opponents, which they accept. Liko and Roy were offered Strong Spheres but they decline, choosing to battle without it. Both sides quickly exchange pleasantries before bringing out their Pokémon for battle. In the meantime, Ult snatches a Strong Sphere from the employee who offered the Spheres to Liko and Roy earlier.

Coral starts the battle by having her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Blizzard}} which is countered by {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}. While neither side overpowers the other, Roy notes how the Explorers also got stronger. {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and Crocalor evade Glalie's Blizzard and {{m|Ice Spinner}} combination attack, attracting awe from the spectators. Sidian takes advantage of the situation and has {{p|Garganacl}} use {{m|Salt Cure}}, which Meowscarada narrowly avoids. Once they appear to be cornered, Liko gets Meowscarada to use {{m|Flower Trick}} to disrupt Glalie's Ice Spinner, allowing Crocalor to land a direct hit with Flamethrower while it is in the air. As a result, the two Explorers use the Strong Spheres on their Pokémon, allowing their moves to be more devastating at the cost of inflicting damage to themselves. Liko tries to berate the two Explorers but they refuse to listen, leading to her and Roy getting ready to {{Tera}}stallize. However, Garganacl defeats them before they could Terastallize, ending the battle in a victory for the Explorers.

Coral is not satisfied with the battle as Glalie and Garganacl continue attacking the fainted Pokémon. Roy sends in [[Captain Pikachu]] with {{m|Volt Tackle}} to save Meowscarada and Crocalor. As the spectators cheer on, Cap gets cornered until Ult steps in, challenging the Explorers himself. He reveals his dislike for the Explorers and declares he will give them a true battle. At first glance, it seems like Ult would use the Strong Sphere for the battle, but he ends up smashing it to the ground, finding it distasteful. Coral becomes angry and orders Glalie to attack, but Ult's {{p|Sableye}} is able get some attacks in before she demands Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. A wall is brought up by [[Chalce]] and the demonstration abruptly ends.

Watching Liko, Roy, and Ult escape from the security cameras, Chalce reminds Coral and Sidian of their goals and how they're untouchable while the public supports them. Meanwhile, Dot reports the public's interest in the Strong Sphere despite the use of Laquium. Liko wants to do something about the situation, but Roy points out no one would believe them, only for Ult to say he will. Roy chastises Ult on his recklessness but expresses relief when Ult seems to be normal again, causing the younger boy to be bewildered. When Roy explains how he seemed off earlier, Ult hesitantly explains it was from the bus ride, revealing his motion sickness to the other two. Changing the topic, Ult declares after seeing what happened, he wants to join Liko and Roy on their journey, which they accept. [[Pagogo]] then senses something in another direction, showing it to be from a cave on a mountain.

==Major events==

* [[Ult]] meets the [[Explorers]] for the first time.
* It is revealed that the Explorers have started to manufacture battle items called [[Strong Sphere]]s that utilize [[Laquium]] to empower Pokémon and are trying to sell them to the public.
* [[Dash]]'s {{p|Ducklett}} is revealed to have evolved into {{p|Swanna}}.
* [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] have another [[Multi Battle]] against [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] and lose due to Coral and Sidian's use of the Strong Spheres.
* Ult rejects the use of Laquium, battles against the Explorers, and helps Liko and Roy escape.
* Ult officially joins Liko and Roy on their journey.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
In an early evening in [[Mochew City]], many people are sitting in a [[Pokémon Center]], as {{p|Maushold}} pushes a cart of [[Poké Ball]]s. [[Mollie]] and her {{TP|Mollie|Chansey}}, in [[Nurse Joy]] uniforms, take two Poké Balls and return them to a Trainer at the front desk. He thanks her enthusiastically, and he and his Pokémon leave. Mollie is told by Nurse Joy that her shift is over, and then promptly leaves to go to her locker. At her locker, [[Mollie's mother|her mother]] congratulates her on the hard work, and expresses her appreciation at Mollie's return, to which she appears dismissive. Mollie sees on her phone that Pokémon were found injured in a forest, and immediately leaves with her partners to help.

[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and their Pokémon are eating dinner by a hotel lobby, which all seem to be enjoying. They agree to rest up the following day to recover energy, right before hearing a woman telling a concierge that her Pokémon started feeling sick out of nowhere in a forest. Though her Pokémon are now fine, people nearby started telling similar stories. Liko and Roy choose to find out more and arrive at the nearby forest soon, by which point the sun had completely set. While navigating through the forest, they discuss what they should be looking for. No dangerous or strong Pokémon apparently live in the forest, and none of the people mentioned that their Pokémon were attacked, just that their energy suddenly depleted. They are now a little on edge due to the near-pitch darkness, and the prospect of an energy-stealing Pokémon, and so are both startled by a face in the shadow, only to find that it is simply a shape cast by shadows of tree branches. They get startled again by more faces, once again finding them to be shadows cast by leaves. Regaining confidence and digging through some bushes, they find Mollie and her partners sitting by a lantern, treating a poisoned {{p|Furret}}. Surprised to see each other after so long, Mollie explains that there is an unusually strong {{status|poison}} prevalent in the area. They each explain their recent ventures, Mollie having returned to her family's Pokémon Center, and Liko and Roy having restarted the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Mollie is surprised, and a little annoyed too. She tells them not to call themselves by that name, and reminds them that the team was disbanded.

In a flashback, taking place soon after [[Friede]]'s [[HZ089|disappearance]], the remaining members of the Rising Volt Tacklers discuss the team's future. Now that [[Pagogo]] had been taken to [[Laqua]], and the [[Laquium]] had been removed, there was nothing left to do. The team could not work together properly without Friede, and the engine had received heavy damage. Though Roy and [[Dot]] protested, Liko and the others could not help but agree, and the group was officially disbanded.

Mollie fully supports Liko and Roy's desire to keep travelling together, and has very fond memories of her time with the Rising Volt Tacklers. But she does not wish for them to stick with that name, and that legacy. The children disagree. Roy is happy to embrace that name, and say he couldn't lose it even if they wanted to. Liko knows that the public image of the Rising Volt Tacklers can change, and uses her [[HZ093|recent experience]] with [[Litten Smitten]] as proof. But as they speak, [[Captain Pikachu|Cap]] notices something. They all leave in a hurry as the night sky darkens, and find more poisoned Pokémon. After treating them, the cause of the poisoning emerges: a {{p|Vileplume}}. Mollie recognizes it, and says it is not the type to spread poison for no reason, but Roy recognizes the tell-tale sign of Laquium affliction. {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} stand tall, but could not avoid the Vileplume's strong poison. A {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Flamethrower}} are entirely blocked, leading to the children deciding to [[recall]] their partners. Roy sends out {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, which is immune to poison, but its {{m|Metal Claw}} only leads to an even larger outpouring of poison pollen. Vileplume's {{a|Effect Spore}} [[Ability]] has also left Lucario {{status|paralyzed}}. Liko sends out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}. Vileplume is hit with a supereffective {{m|Confusion}}, but retaliates with {{m|Giga Drain}}, regaining its lost health. Lucario manages to defend Hattrem from another Giga Drain, and the poison pollen is cleared up by Maushold's use of {{m|Tidy Up}}, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}'s wings, and Cap's Rising {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Now with a chance to win, Liko {{Tera}}stallizes Hattrem into the {{t|Psychic}} type. Maushold uses {{m|Follow Me}} to distract Vileplume, allowing Hattrem to land a Terastallization-boosted Confusion attack to finally knock it down. But while Hattrem readies a final attack, she stops. She senses Vileplume's anger, and does not want to attack it anymore. Liko wants to help her partner fulfill her desire to help Vileplume. Hattrem uses {{m|Heal Pulse}} on Vileplume, but is unable to calm it, and gets poisoned in the process. With Chansey's help, Hattrem learns {{m|Healing Wish}}, and finally manages to calm it down before [[fainting]]. Pagogo removes the Laquium, and the battle is over.

Even though Vileplume is in perfect health, it is very low in energy from overexerting itself under the effects of Laquium, so Mollie and the others take it to a Pokémon Center. While waiting for Mollie, Liko and Roy overhear Pokémon Center visitors talking about some [[Strong Sphere|power-up spheres]] which should come to the market soon. After everyone has been healed up, Liko and Roy invite Mollie to join them, but she chooses to stay at the Pokémon Center for now, until the day when the team is fully back together, since it's the good chance to learn. Liko and Roy take Vileplume back to the forest and watch it make peace with its friends, but Cap finds something. It's an [[Exceed]] facility, located at the edge of the forest.

==Major events==

* It is revealed [[Mollie]] returned to working at a [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Mochew City]] after the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] split up and has taken the {{p|Maushold}} that was living on the [[Brave Olivine]] under her care.
** It is also revealed that [[Mollie's mother]] is a [[Nurse Joy]].
* [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] reunite with Mollie.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
While recording a [[Nidothing]] livestream accompanied by her {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}}, Dot asks viewers for any information regarding rare or legendary Pokémon, or Pokémon using moves that the Pokédex does not account for (in an attempt to find potential whereabouts of the [[Black Rayquaza]]). Upon seeing that the chat is no longer adding any comments to the livestream, she freaks out and begs the audience for any small detail. It is immediately after this that a long comment appears on screen, relating to the Black Rayquaza, to Nidothing's surprise.

[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] have arrived at [[Teacup Town]]. They look out over a large patch of farmland, where farmers are working, aided by a few {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Machop}}. They comment on the fragrant smell of tea leaves, before walking ahead to their supposed meet-up spot. They do not know a lot about who they intend to meet up with, only that their name is [[Litten Smitten]] and they are a big fan of Nidothing, which concerns Liko a little, since she has not watched a lot of Nidothing content over the last year. Roy comforts her, and they soon find Litten Smitten, accompanied by two {{p|Litten}}. She introduces herself as a Litten SuperFan, and rushes to [[Captain Pikachu]], commenting on how cute he is, to his disappointment. Liko points out all of the Nidothing merchandise she is wearing, asking where she got it from, to find out that it was all homemade. Liko and Roy introduce themselves, and Litten Smitten announces her pleasure at meeting people who work with Nidothing. Roy asks for a follow-up on her earlier mention of the Black Rayquaza, but before all of that she wants to see Nidothing first, and is very disappointed upon hearing that she will not get to meet her after all. Litten Smitten says she will only speak to Nidothing, and so before she leaves, Nidothing appears on Roy's [[Rotom Phone]]. She is very excited at the prospect of speaking to Nidothing, and happily accepts to guide Liko and Roy to where she saw Rayquaza.

Litten Smitten and Liko talk a little on how she knows Nidothing, and [[Liko's Meowscarada]] gets jealous after the two Litten climb onto Liko's legs. Soon after Liko mentions she has not interacted with Nidothing's livestreams in a while, Litten Smitten seems to be irritated, leading to an awkward moment. Now in the middle of a large clearing, they have a little trouble finding where Litten Smitten saw the Rayquaza, and so she asks them why they want to find it, to which Roy answers that he wants to catch it. He says it has been his dream since he joined the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], though Litten Smitten instantly recognizes the name and loses all trust in them. She is well aware of [[Exceed]]'s announcement, and the claims they have made regarding the Rising Volt Tacklers, and refuses to help them further before challenging Liko to a battle. She accepts, and readies Meowscarada for battle. In turn, Litten Smitten sends out her {{p|Incineroar}}. Litten Smitten comments on how both her and Liko are using using cat-based Pokemon, and that her Incineroar has the advantage due to its Fire-typing.

After Cap starts the battle, Meowscarada starts off with {{m|Flower Trick}}, blocked by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, a move that is then dodged. After skillfully dodging a {{m|Double Kick}}, Meowscarada goes in for {{m|Acrobatics}}, which is blocked by Incineroar's {{m|Bulk Up}}. Meowscarada wraps Incineroar's leg with her flower in an attempt to trip it, but Incineroar counters and just uses that to bring Meowscarada closer with Darkest Lariat, then lands a Supereffective {{m|Flamethrower}} in close range. Liko's Pokémon is badly hurt, but she is still able to get up despite that. While the others comment on Incineroar's incredible attack power, Liko points out in her head that, though it is powerful, Incineroar tends to use simple attacks and patterns. That means, though the type matchup is not in her favor, the battle can still be won. After another well-timed dodge, Meowscarada hits Incineroar with Acrobatics just as its Darkest Lariat attack is about to end, making it hit the ground. And after a Double Kick is countered by a strong {{m|Magical Leaf}} attack, Meowscarada is now nowhere to be seen. Appearing behind Incineroar, Meowscarada uses Flower Trick, though it is blocked with Darkest Lariat once again. However, Liko's plan is not over. Just as Incineroar is about to finish off the battle with Flamethrower, an invisible flower bud, still stuck to its belt, explodes as Incineroar attempts to use Flamethrower, damaging it greatly. The battle is not over however, and Incineroar and Meowscarada both face each other.

Just as the battle is about to resume, [[Ult]] suddenly appears from some nearby trees, running in fear from a swarm of {{p|Dodrio}}. The swarm surrounds the group as Ult explains that he had unknowingly trespassed into their territory. The group is also has been surrounded by a group of {{p|Fearow}}, whom Ult had also angered. Once he stops arguing with Roy, Ult and Litten Smitten prepare to fight the hordes, only for Liko to stop them, saying the Pokémon did nothing wrong. The rest of her and Roy's Pokémon are sent out, and [[Pagogo]] switches to its {{fd|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}. Pagogo blocks the wild Pokémon attacks with {{m|Protect}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} stops their running with a {{m|Flash Cannon}} on the ground, Cap and Meowscarada distract them with {{m|Double Team}} and Flower Trick respectively, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} and Roy all start singing to calm the Pokémon, and finally, {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} restores all of them to full health with {{m|Heal Pulse}}. The Fearow and Dodrio then leave the area in peace.

Liko wants to resume her battle, but Litten Smitten says there is no need, since she now sees that they are not bad guys after all. Now that their search continues, Litten Smitten finally reveals that she did not see a Black Rayquaza at all, and that she only commented on that livestream out of impulse. Ult and {{TP|Ult|Sableye}} leave in annoyance. Litten Smitten apologizes profusely to Nidothing on the Rotom Phone, saying she only wanted attention from her, and had even taken her username from Liko's (who she knew used to be a regular commenter on Nidothing's streams). Nidothing understands, and assures her that Liko does not get special treatment despite being friends with her in real life. Liko also notes how Litten Smitten has a strong bond with her Pokemon, based on her battle with Incineroar. Now leaving on a good note, Liko and Roy continue their journey.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Arriving at a train station to find [[Roy]], [[Ult]] finds him with the help of a passerby. To Ult's shock, Roy is not alone, as he spots him with an unknown girl. Meanwhile, [[Liko]] and Roy, unaware of Ult nearby, contact [[Dot]] for more information about the next [[Laquium]] sighting before heading to the site of the next Laquium sighting to begin their investigation. Once there, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} search from the sky as Liko, Roy, and their remaining Pokémon search on the ground. Stopping for a brief moment, Liko reminisces the [[Tera Training]] they went through the year before as Dot wonders about [[Pagogo]]. Liko sadly informs Dot it hasn't left its {{i|Poké Ball}} since leaving [[Laqua]] but cheers up when Dot points out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s ease with Pagogo's Poké Ball. Just then, Roy spots some Pokémon running away and he, [[Captain Pikachu]], and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} go in the opposite direction to find the terrain filled with holes. Cap feels someone watching them, and when he turns around, misses Ult and {{p|Sableye}}, who fall into one of the holes. Above ground, Liko and Roy investigate the holes and find more pink mist, which Dot reveals they have been calling such proof as "Laquium Signs". Below ground, after falling down a hole, Ult moves further into the tunnel, only to find a {{p|Steelix}} acting just like the {{p|Slaking}} [[HZ090|he encountered before]]. The {{pkmn|category|Iron Snake Pokémon}} notices Ult and suddenly bursts through the ground above. Liko, Roy, and Dot are surprised by Steelix and make a quick retreat when it suddenly attacks them.

Forced to battle, the two quickly find out physical attacks are not as effective due to Steelix's high Defense and that they have difficulty pinning it down thanks to the holes it made. As such, Dot has Roy send Crocalor and Kilowattrel to attack from the sky while Lucario and {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} try to make an opening for Crocalor. With Lucario's [[Aura]], it points Meowscarada to the hole where Steelix is likely to appear and she manages to hold it down when it appears. Spotting Crocalor getting ready to attack with {{m|Flamethrower}}, Steelix counters with an attack of its own, only for Hattrem and Cap to stop the attack. Meowscarada loses her grip on Steelix as the latter retreats into the hole once more. Roy forces Steelix to come out of hiding by having the two Pokémon in the sky use {{m|Uproar}} and {{m|Disarming Voice}} into the same hole it retreated into earlier. Once it comes out, Crocalor tries to use Flamethrower again but a sneak attack from the side sends Crocalor and Kilowattrel to the ground as another Laquium-infected Steelix reveals itself, surprising the group.

Using {{m|Sand Tomb}} to attack Crocalor and Kilowattrel, Liko, Roy, and Dot are further shocked by the power of Steelix's attack, attributing the cause to be the Laquium. As Cap goes to save the two Pokémon trapped in Sand Tomb, Meowscarada and Lucario are targeted by Steelix. Before one of them could successfully attack Meowscarada, she is saved by Sableye, with Ult appearing from a hole, to Roy's surprise. Ult notes the severity of the situation before he and Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sableye and Lucario, respectively. The two Mega Pokémon land successive attacks on each Steelix before the two appear to be cornered. At the last second, they dodge the upcoming attack from both Steelix, causing both Laquium-infected Pokémon to hit Sableye's gem. Cap comes up with Crocalor and Kilowattrel and Roy has Crocalor use Flamethrower, this time successfully landing the attack.

Unfortunately, when the smoke clears, both Steelix are attacking each other, unable to tell each other from friend or foe due to the Laquium. [[HZ089|Recalling what happened]] on Laqua, Liko desperately tries to stop them from fighting, but when attacks from both Steelix nearly hit her and her Pokémon, the three are saved by a protective barrier put up by Pagogo, who awakens from its Poké Ball. Pagogo then {{a|Tera Shift|tranforms}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} to purify both Steelix of the Laquium before Hattrem heals them with {{m|Heal Pulse}}. Roy and Dot are relieved to see Pagogo awake while Liko happily greets Pagogo. Roy then introduces Ult to Liko, who thanks him for saving Meowscarada earlier. After stopping Sableye from eating Pagogo, Liko asks Roy and Ult about Mega Evolution, which Nidothing explains in a video. Ult chastises Roy for abandoning him in the forest but Roy realizes Ult had been following him, which he denies before declaring the [[Black Rayquaza]] would be his. Roy drags Liko away during Ult's monologue, not desiring to bring him along their journey, to Ult's frustration at being left behind once more.

At the [[Explorers]] base, [[Hamber]] meets with [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]]. The two agents lament their inability to protect their boss, who is now missing, and are prepared to take accountability for their actions. To their surprise, Hamber does not reprimand them. Hamber reveals to the two that after the events in Laqua, [[Spinel]] made a report claiming that [[Amethio]] had betrayed [[Gibeon]] and that he had also perished, but neither him nor his father [[Cervantis]] believed the report. He then takes out a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the lone [[Zygarde Cell]], demonstrating how the cube works. Hamber assigns them a new task - to find the rest of the [[White Zygarde]] and Amethio without letting Spinel know what they were up to before it's too late.

==Plot==
Resuming from the [[HZ090|previous episode]], [[Roy]] and [[Captain Pikachu]] arrive at [[Indigo Academy]] thanks to [[Roy's Kilowattrel]]. Roy reveals he has something to tell [[Liko]] but is unable to due to the arrival of some students, including [[Ann]], who greets Roy happily. The two girls bring Roy around the school before they settle in the cafeteria, where Liko and Roy reveal what happened with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to Ann. After [[HZ089|escaping from]] [[Laqua]], they tried to search for their [[Friede|lost member]] but were unable to find him, with [[Exceed]] sealing off [[Mount Pericarp]], preventing them from searching further. Upon further discussion, the Rising Volt Tacklers agreed to disband, causing Ann to sympathize with Liko. Roy then reveals he had been training in [[Kalos]] before being interrupted by some students, who wanted to speak with Ann. As Ann leaves, Roy tells Liko about Dot contacting him to investigate a peculiar Pokémon that exuded pink mist, stunning Liko. She is in disbelief as [[Pagogo]] had purified Laqua of [[Laquium]] that time. Hence, Roy asks for Liko's help, but she is unable to, especially since Pagogo hadn't awakened since it returned to its Poké Ball. Roy takes the rejection in good stride and Ann returns to find them in an awkward tension. She suggests a {{pkmn|battle}} to cheer them up, but [[Liko's Meowscarada]] disappeared during their discussion, so Roy and Ann head to the courtyard first while Liko searches for her partner with {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and Ann having a battle]]
In the courtyard, Ann and Roy begin to battle, with {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} sending a {{m|Flash Cannon}} that is overpowered by {{p|Samurott}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Lucario dodges the attack and returns with {{m|Metal Claw}}. Samurott stops the attack with {{m|Razor Shell}} and Ann has it use {{m|Drill Run}} next. Unbeknownst to the two, the same students from the cafeteria are wary of Roy being a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. Meanwhile, as more students gather to watch the battle, Liko and Hattrem find Meowscarada on a rooftop, also watching the battle. Liko sees Roy's new partner and becomes crestfallen as she realizes her friends have managed to move on while she is stuck. One of Meowscarada's flowers explodes next to Liko as the {{pkmn|category|Magician Pokémon}} leaps off the rooftop. Back in the battle, the students are amazed by the battle, with some wondering about Roy. Word then gets around about Roy's affiliation, with Liko listening in. Unaware of the ongoing concerns, Lucario connects with its Trainer with [[Aura]], allowing it to dodge Samurott's Drill Run and defeat it with {{m|Close Combat}}. Liko approaches the two and Roy asks to battle her next.

For his next battle, Roy has {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} battle instead and he begins with {{m|Flamethrower}} that Meowscarada evades. Liko has Meowscarada attack with {{m|Flower Trick}}, causing flower bombs to appear in the sky. Meowscarada then catches and starts juggling them, distracting Crocalor which fails to notice one flower bomb still in the air which descends right in front of Crocalor and explodes, causing damage. Crocalor charges in with {{m|Flame Charge}} and Meowscarada avoids it with {{m|Acrobatics}}. Unfortunately another Flame Charge from Crocalor causes some [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] damage to Meowscarada. She uses Flower Trick to counter, but Roy now knows not to rely on sight and has Crocalor use {{m|Disarming Voice}} to attack all of Meowscarada's flowers at once, forcing them to explode early. Meowscarada tries to land an attack with Acrobatics, but not only did Crocalor evade it, but he retaliates with Flamethrower. The Magician Pokémon throws a smokescreen with one of her flowers to avoid the attack, surprising Liko, whose feelings become in tune with her partner's at that moment. To stop Crocalor from hitting her with Flame Charge, Meowscarada holds Crocalor up in the air with her invisible stem. Unfortunately, Crocalor manages to hit Meowscarada straight on with Flamethrower despite being held in place. At that moment, Roy notices Meowscarada's flower had disappeared, with it reappearing when Liko calls for her Pokémon to use Flower Trick that manages to land some hits. With her confidence restored, Liko and Roy {{Tera}}stallize their Pokémon and launch attacks at each other, with Meowscarada being defeated as the final result.

Once the battle is over, some students approach Roy to clarify his affiliation with the Rising Volt Tacklers. He doesn't deny it, causing the students to ask Liko for an explanation, which she does by confidently introducing herself as a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. At the bus stop, Roy, Ann, and their Pokémon are waiting for Liko, who was getting ready in her dormitory, when he muses how the school didn't know about the Rising Volt Tacklers. Ann says it's good for Liko to finally let go of her worries after keeping it in for a year, and Roy agrees. Liko then appears with Meowscarada, ready to take back their truth from the [[Explorers]] with Roy. While Ann sees her friends off, Liko remarks she can move forward with her Pokémon by her side as she takes off for her new adventure. Elsewhere, [[Spinel]] watches the captured [[Six Heroes]], minus the [[Black Rayquaza]], as he declares the world will bow before the Explorers.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ091 Title card.png|thumb|250px|Title card]]
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Roy]] with his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]], and the second features [[Liko]] with her {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}.
* The title text for this episode is shown on screen near the end of the episode, instead of a separate title card segment. Hence, no one reads the title aloud for this episode.
[[File:HZ091 Title card initial TV airing.png|thumb|250px|Title card for the one-hour special]]
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ090|previous episode]].
** The recap was skipped and its background music which played a bit beyond the recap was also cut out.
** The title was directly shown at the end of the special and didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] segment is also present after this episode at the end of the one hour special, but is included with the previous episode for VOD releases.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ091-HZ100)#HZ090 / HZ091 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the school's clock tower.
* For the regular release of this episode:
* The Japanese version uses the regular opening theme ([[GET BACK]]) as the ending theme.
** Other language releases use the instrumental version of [[Evolving Again]] as the ending theme with the regular animation sequence.
* Despite animated series staff members working for the studio being credited as animation directors, the studio ''UEC Co., Ltd.'' itself was left uncredited in the ending credits and added into the listing for clarification purposes.
* This episode marks the first time that a main character other than {{Ash}} has been seen using [[Aura]].
* [[Ult]], {{p|Sableye}}, Liko, and Roy narrate the preview for the [[HZ092|next episode]].

===Errors===
*[[Haven Paschall]] is credited as the vocalist for [[Evolving Again]], even though only the instrumental ending version is used for this episode.

==Plot==
In a forest, [[wild Pokémon]] are watching a wild {{p|Slaking}} warily as it exudes a pink mist. At the same time, [[Dot]] is guiding [[Captain Pikachu]] and [[Roy]] somewhere until Cap notices some [[footprint]]s and the two pursue it. While they are following the footprints, Roy reveals he had been on an adventure to meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] once more when Dot contacted him after a long time, asking him to investigate an abnormality. At that moment, they arrive to find Slaking and find it acting contradatory to what the [[Pokédex]] says, leading Roy to suspect the [[Laquium]] is at work. Wanting to update Dot, Roy is interrupted by [[Ult]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, who cause him to lose sight of the Slaking he was watching a moment ago. Ult tries to declare Rayquaza would be his, but Roy ignores him in favor of finding Slaking and reluctantly lets Ult tag along when he wouldn't leave him alone. From the sky, [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] directs the group to the Slaking from earlier. Unfortunately, because of Sableye, the wild Pokémon turns hostile, forcing them to battle it.

Roy sends Cap out with {{m|Double Team}} and determines Slaking is not acting normal. {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} charges in with {{m|Flame Charge}} but is tossed into the air. Before Slaking's attack hits the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Kilowattrel saves him before the two attack with {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Flamethrower}} respectively, with Sableye following up with {{m|Power Gem}}. Roy notices the other wild Pokémon are in danger because of their battle and sends Kilowattrel and Crocalor to take care of them. While wary of the possibility of the Laquium, Ult snaps Roy out of his depressed thoughts and the latter brings out {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}. Roy and Ult [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] their Pokémon into Mega Lucario and Mega Sableye. The two Mega Pokémon and Cap attack Slaking together, but it retaliates with a devastating {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Because of the attack's strength and color, Roy concludes Laquium is definitely involved. Mega Sableye is [[Type#Type effectiveness|unaffected]] by the follow-up Hyper Beam, thanks to its {{t|Ghost}} type, before it and Mega Lucario land more attacks, with Cap finishing it off with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
[[File:Roy and Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and Ult talking]]
After the battle, Roy updates Dot on the situation and she agrees with his assessment regarding the involvment of the Laquium, which should have been destroyed by [[Pagogo]] [[HZ089|one year ago]]. Before they can ponder on it further, [[Franka]] enters Dot's room with some {{wp|Pancake|hotcakes}}, forcing Dot to end the call. Roy declares he needs to tell [[Liko|someone]] their adventures aren't over and tells Ult to come out of hiding. While he initially agreed to let Ult join him due to their shared goal with Rayquaza, Roy sneaks away during the night, to Ult's frustration at being abandoned.

At [[Indigo Academy]], a class has finished a lesson and the teacher announces the next lesson would take place in the courtyard. The students run out excitedly, including [[Ann]] and her {{p|Samurott}}. The last student in the classroom, Liko, remarks how they're energetic before she heads off to her next lesson with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Over the past year, with new students arriving at the school and Ann's skills being acknowledged by not only Indigo Academy but supposedly [[Blueberry Academy]], Liko had adjusted to school life. In their shared dormitory, Liko helps Ann find her toothbrush and remarks on the latter's tendency to put things down without thinking, causing Ann to point out Liko is also unconsciously stroking Pagogo's {{i|Poké Ball}}, with the Tera Pokémon itself not leaving its Poké Ball at all. Ann tries to check in on Liko, but the latter brushes it off. Ann suggests training together tomorrow and Liko agrees. While everyone is sleeping, Liko once again strokes Pagogo's Poké Ball, unaware of Ann being concerned for her.

The next day, Ann watches a Nidothing video, where Nidothing is asking for info on anything unusual, and shows the video to her distracted friend. Liko changes the topic from her not watching Nidothing lately to Ann's idea of training. As their two Pokémon train, Liko clarifies the rumor about Blueberry Academy and Ann confirms it, making Liko happy that her friend is getting closer to her dream while she hasn't made progress since her return. In the cafeteria, Liko overhears two students talking about [[Spinel]]'s interview and the recent incidents being caused by the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Ann tries to stop them, but Liko drags her away as no one at school knows Liko is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers or the events of a year ago. On the rooftop, someone calls out to Liko, and she is surprised to see Roy and Cap heading her way.

** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ091-HZ100)#HZ090 / HZ091 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the school's clock tower.
* For the regular release of this episode:
** The Japanese release uses generic animated series music during the ending credits, with the credits appearing on a black split screen, with scenes from the episode playing on the other side.
** Other language releases use the instrumental version of [[Evolving Again]] as the ending theme with the regular animation sequence.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** A {{p|Cacturne}} appears in the {{pkmn|animated series}} other than [[Harley's Cacturne|the one that belongs to]] [[Harley]].
*** This is also the first appearance of a Cacturne in the animated series since ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', 861 episodes earlier.
** A {{p|Prinplup}} appears after {{aniseries|DP}}, since ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', 733 episodes earlier.
* [[Roy]] narrates the preview for the [[HZ091|next episode]].

==Plot==
In a forest, [[wild Pokémon]] are watching a wild {{p|Slaking}} warily as it exudes a pink mist. At the same time, [[Dot]] is guiding [[Captain Pikachu]] and [[Roy]] somewhere until Cap notices some [[footprint]]s and the two pursue it. While they are following the footprints, Roy reveals he had been on an adventure to meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] once more when Dot contacted him after a long time, asking him to investigate an abnormality. At that moment, they arrive to find Slaking and find it acting contradatory to what the [[Pokédex]] says, leading Roy to suspect the [[Laquium]] is at work. Wanting to update Dot, Roy is interrupted by [[Ult]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, who cause him to lose sight of the Slaking he was watching a moment ago. Ult tries to declare Rayquaza would be his, but Roy ignores him in favor of finding Slaking and reluctantly lets Ult tag along when he wouldn't leave him alone. From the sky, [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] directs the group to the Slaking from earlier. Unfortunately, because of Sableye, the wild Pokémon turns hostile, forcing them to battle it.

Roy sends Cap out with {{m|Double Team}} and determines Slaking is not acting normal. {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} charges in with {{m|Flame Charge}} but is tossed into the air. Before Slaking's attack hits the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Kilowattrel saves him before the two attack with {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Flamethrower}} respectively, with Sableye following up with {{m|Power Gem}}. Roy notices the other wild Pokémon are in danger because of their battle and sends Kilowattrel and Crocalor to take care of them. While wary of the possibility of the Laquium, Ult snaps Roy out of his depressed thoughts and the latter brings out {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}. Roy and Ult [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] their Pokémon into Mega Lucario and Mega Sableye. The two Mega Pokémon and Cap attack Slaking together, but it retaliates with a devastating {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Because of the attack's strength and color, Roy concludes Laquium is definitely involved. Mega Sableye is [[Type#Type effectiveness|unaffected]] by the follow-up Hyper Beam, thanks to its {{t|Ghost}} type, before it and Mega Lucario land more attacks, with Cap finishing it off with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
[[File:Roy and Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and Ult talking]]
After the battle, Roy updates Dot on the situation and she agrees with his assessment regarding the involvment of the Laquium, which should have been destroyed by [[Pagogo]] [[HZ089|one year ago]]. Before they can ponder on it further, [[Franka]] enters Dot's room with some {{wp|Pancake|hotcakes}}, forcing Dot to end the call. Roy declares he needs to tell [[Liko|someone]] their adventures aren't over and tells Ult to come out of hiding. While he initially agreed to let Ult join him due to their shared goal with Rayquaza, Roy sneaks away during the night, to Ult's frustration at being abandoned.

At [[Indigo Academy]], a class has finished a lesson and the teacher announces the next lesson would take place in the courtyard. The students run out excitedly, including [[Ann]] and her {{p|Samurott}}. The last student in the classroom, Liko, remarks how they're energetic before she heads off to her next lesson with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Over the past year, with new students arriving at the school and Ann's skills being acknowledged by not only Indigo Academy but supposedly [[Blueberry Academy]], Liko had adjusted to school life. In their shared dormitory, Liko helps Ann find her toothbrush and remarks on the latter's tendency to put things down without thinking, causing Ann to point out Liko is also unconsciously stroking Pagogo's {{i|Poké Ball}}, with the Tera Pokémon itself not leaving its Poké Ball at all. Ann tries to check in on Liko, but the latter brushes it off. Ann suggests training together tomorrow and Liko agrees. While everyone is sleeping, Liko once again strokes Pagogo's Poké Ball, unaware of Ann being concerned for her.

The next day, Ann watches a Nidothing video, where Nidothing is asking for info on anything unusual, and shows the video to her distracted friend. Liko changes the topic from her not watching Nidothing lately to Ann's idea of training. As their two Pokémon train, Liko clarifies the rumor about Blueberry Academy and Ann confirms it, making Liko happy that her friend is getting closer to her dream while she hasn't made progress since her return. In the cafeteria, Liko overhears two students talking about [[Spinel]]'s interview and the recent incidents being caused by the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Ann tries to stop them, but Liko drags her away as no one at school knows Liko is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers or the events of a year ago. On the rooftop, someone calls out to Liko, and she is surprised to see Roy and Cap heading her way.

Strong Sphere

2026-01-06T18:49:08Z

CAJH:

[[File:Exceed Strong Sphere.png|250px|thumb|A Strong Sphere]]
The '''Strong Sphere''' (Japanese: '''ストロングスフィア''' ''Strong Sphere'') is a [[Laquium]]-based power-up device featured in {{aniseries|HZ}}. It was envisioned by [[Spinel]] and, once he became the company's director, mass produced by [[Exceed]]. It uses Laquium mist to increase the power of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, at the cost of causing them pain.

Two other iterations of the Strong Sphere are known: the prototypical '''Laquium Sphere''' (Japanese: '''ラクリウムスフィア''' ''{{tt|Laqurium|Laquium}} Sphere'') and the upgraded (Japanese: '''スーパースドロングスフィア''' ''Super Strong Sphere'').

==History==
[[File:Laquium Sphere.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Spinel]]'s Laquium Sphere]]
In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', [[Spinel]] experimented with [[Laquium]], using its mist on his {{p|Umbreon}} and pitting it against [[Liko]] and [[Amethio]]. While Umbreon managed to defeat Amethio's {{Tera}}stallized {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} in a single hit, [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] was able to purify it from Laquium's effects. As revealed in ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', this was actually the very first beta version of the Laquium Sphere, which was currently being worked on by Spinel.

Laquium Spheres properly appeared for the first time in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]''. After it was thought that [[Laqua]] was purified from Laquium, Spinel revealed the prototypes and used them on the [[Six Heroes]], causing them (except for [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]) to go berserk and wreak havoc across Laqua.

A year later, in ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] learned that Exceed was gathering {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to test a new product, so they decided to infiltrate the company's [[Exceed Testing Center|Testing Center]] to investigate it it had any connections to Laquium, since they had just dealt with a {{p|Vileplume}} affected by Laquium nearby in the [[HZ094|previous episode]]. Inside, they witnessed as Strong Spheres were unveiled to the public, and Liko quickly noticed their resemblance to the Laquium Spheres used by Spinel in Laqua. The reveal was followed up by a demonstration of the device's capabilities, with [[Dash]] using it on her {{p|Swanna}}, allowing it to overpower foes even at a massive disadvantage, but causing it to become extremely weakened afterwards. Liko and Roy were then spotted amongst the crowd by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] and challenged to an exhibition match, but the battle ended quickly after the [[Explorers]] used Strong Spheres of their own on their Pokémon.
[[File:Super Strong Sphere.png|250px|thumb|right|A Super Strong Sphere]]
Some Trainers were selected by Exceed as product testers for the Strong Sphere, giving them access to the device ahead of the general public, as revealed in ''[[HZ095|The Prankster]]''. One of these testers, a young streamer named [[Stunner Fisk]], began using it on his {{p|Stunfisk}} in order to pull pranks and get {{an|Iono}}'s attention, but he later regretted using the Strong Sphere after noticing the discomfort he was putting his Stunfisk through.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', it was revealed that [[Karna]]'s {{TP|Karna|Poké Ball factory}} was commissioned to manufacture the exterior components of the Strong Spheres, but, after learning about the truth behind the devices, she immediately withdrew from the job, refusing to give them the completed product. Two Explorers members, [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]], acting as enforcers for Exceed, intervened and engaged with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in a battle, each using a Strong Sphere on their {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], after Indy and Rubella were forced to retreat, Karna took the responsibility of disposing of the shells she had created, but even then suggested that this wouldn't affect the Strong Sphere's worldwide launch, since Exceed must also have placed orders at various other factories.

In [[HZ110]], a more advanced version of the Strong Sphere, the Super Strong Sphere, was revealed and experimented by the Explorers on the captured Six Heroes. After repeated usage, the Six Heroes went berserk and defeated all of their opponents, including the Rising Volt Tacklers, Amethio, and the [[White Zygarde]]. After the devices had been drained and the heroes exhausted following the repeated exposure, the Explorers used special drones to put them back inside their trucks and fled the scene.

==Effects and characteristics==
[[File:Strong Sphere Effect.png|thumb|250px|The Strong Sphere's effect on [[Dash]]'s {{p|Swanna}}]]
All iterations of the Strong Sphere work the same way, but at different potencies. Overall, they function similarly to a [[Tera Orb]], but are accompanied by heavy adverse effects. When thrown towards a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, they will open up and release a [[Laquium]] mist that powers up the Pokémon in every way, such as attack power, resilience, speed, reflexes, and even stamina, at the cost of progressively weakening it and turning it more susceptible to damage and even self-inflicted injuries, which eventually leads to complete exhaustion. A {{pkmn|Trainer}} using a Strong Sphere does not need to actually command their Pokémon in battle, as it will battle purely on instinct, as if it was a [[wild Pokémon]]; if the Strong Sphere's effects on a Pokémon are prolonged, the Pokémon may even completely stop listening to its Trainer's orders. As revealed in [[HZ102]], Strong Spheres can run out of Laquium, but can be sent back to a Exceed branch for recharging.

Due to its adverse effects, the Strong Sphere effectively place the Pokémon on a timer, as the longer the battle goes on, the more exhausted the user becomes, and they become increasingly less mobile, as seen with [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}} in ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'' and [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} in [[HZ109]]. Long-term exposure effects vary between Pokémon: for instance, Coral's Glalie started to freeze itself, while [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} begun to crack and fall apart.

Super Strong Spheres are at a different level than Laquium Spheres or regular Strong Spheres. They are said to draw out the maximum capabilities Laquium has to offer, drastically increasing the Pokémon's power. Unlike the other iterations, Super Strong Spheres cause sharp, crystalline spikes to emerge from the affected Pokémon's body. Despite the upgrades, the affected Pokémon still suffers from the same adverse effects, such as complete exhaustion.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Finland}}''' on October 21, 1999 in the form of the first English Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. The [[Pokémon animated series]] followed shortly after with the first broadcast of ''[[EP001|Pokémon! Minä valitsen sinut!]]'' in Finnish on MTV3 on November 6, 1999. Finland was the first Nordic country to air the Pokémon animated series. [[Pokémon in Denmark|Denmark]], [[Pokémon in Norway|Norway]], and [[Pokémon in Sweden|Sweden]] followed after in spring 2000.

==Pokémon video games==
All of the [[core series]] and [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] [[Pokémon games]] have been released in English in Finland, usually the same day as the release in the rest of Europe. The first ones were {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, which arrived in Finnish stores on October 21, 1999.

As in the rest of Europe, [[Pokémon Trozei!]] was sold under the title '''Pokémon Link!''' and [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]] was sold under the title '''Super Pokémon Rumble'''.

All games have their instruction booklets translated into both Finnish and Swedish. The only game released in Finnish is [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]], but only the interface had been translated and the cards themselves remained in English.

Stores known for distributing Pokémon events in Finland are {{wp|GameStop}}, {{wp|Kesko|Anttila}}, {{wp|S_Group#Supermarkets|Prisma}}, {{wp|Stockmann}}, and [http://pelimies.fi/ Pelimies].

==Pokémon animation==
[[File:MTV3 Logo.png|thumb|left|80px|MTV3 logo used until 2013]]
Generally, episodes of the Pokémon animated series air on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings on '''{{wp|MTV3}}''', a Finnish commercial TV channel.

[[S11|Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]] has aired in Finnish on {{wp|Disney XD (Scandinavian TV channel)|Jetix}}. When Jetix was replaced by Disney XD, Disney XD began to show reruns of Battle Dimension as well. Disney XD has also aired the [[M10|tenth]], [[M11|eleventh]], and [[M12|twelfth movies]].

MTV3's net-TV known as '''Katsomo''' started to upload the 11th season beginning on 11 May 2010 and finished the season in July 2010. New episodes were downloaded Mon-Fri by 18:00.

The [[S12|12th season]] was broadcast by MTV3 from September 2010 to August 6th 2011. '''Katsomo''' started to upload the 13th season since 18 April 2011 and finished on August 11th 2011. New episodes were uploaded Mondays and Thursdays by 18:00.

Like some other European channels, MTV3 showed the first two episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' as a "sneak peek" before the seasons actual airing. These episodes were shown on 22 and 25 April, respectively. The season officially started airing on August 13, 2011.

Sub Juniori has started to return the first ten seasons of the series since 12 April 2010. Currently, it is broadcasting the reruns of [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]].

[[File:Sub Juniori Logo.png|thumb|160px|The current logo of the TV channel Sub Juniori]]

Many episodes were not aired in Finland for unknown reasons. The [[EP080|last episode of the first season]] and the entire [[S02|second season]] were skipped; and only about a half of the [[S03|Johto Journeys]], [[S04|Johto League Champions]], and the last 12 episodes of [[S05|Master Quest]] were shown. This happened also to Pokémon Advanced, as only the first 26 episodes were shown.

This changed during [[S07|Advanced Challenge]], as it was the first-ever season to be shown completely in Finland. Every season after that has been broadcast in their entirety as well.

In Finland, the animated series is available on [[Netflix]].

===Dubbing===
The aired episodes were originally dubbed in Finnish by '''Oy PVP-Voice Ab''' from [[S01|Seasons 1]] to [[S07|7]], a dubbing company known of its numerous dubbings on different cartoons. Seasons 5 to 7 were recorded in a former small municipality of {{wp|Kisko}} (nowadays part of the town of {{wp|Salo}}) in Southwest Finland instead of capital Helsinki. [[SDI Media]] has dubbed the series since ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''; Season 8 was dubbed by '''Dubberman'''.

A unique feature of the Finnish dub (and other Nordic dubs) is that the names of Pokémon [[move]]s have been left in English. This hasn't always been the case, but this came into effect when the Seasons 9 and 10 were aired in Finland. The reasons behind the change are a bit hazy, but it has been assumed that this is because the Pokémon games and TCG are published in English in Finland as well. At the same time, it has been inconsistent whether {{Abilities}} are translated or not. Until Season 8, the names of the moves were said in Finnish. The Finnish dub is currently the only ongoing dub of the Pokémon animated series in an Uralic language, following the cancellation of the {{pmin|Hungary|Hungarian}} dub after Season 12.

====Cast and crew====
In the Finnish dub, several different voice actors have appeared. '''Sari Ann Moilanen''' was the original voice actress for [[Ash Ketchum]] in first and third seasons and the first four movies, though now he is voiced by '''Hanna Leino'''. '''Kiti Kokkonen''' is the most recent voice actress of {{an|Misty}}, and also [[Jessie]]'s voice actress in some seasons before Season 11, though both of these characters have had a few other voice actresses in some point: Misty has also been voiced by '''Outi Alanen''', '''Marjut Heikkinen''' (also May's voice actress in Seasons 9 and 11, as well as [[Fennel]] in [[BW036]]) and '''Pauliina Virta''', while Jessie has been voiced by '''Mari Laari''', '''Karolina Blom''' and '''Susa Saukko'''. Kiti Kokkonen has, though, also been the first of Misty's voice actresses. Brock was originally voiced by '''Juha Paananen''' in the first six seasons and after that by '''Jari Salo'''. Paananen made a surprise comeback in the beginning of Season 12 with voicing Canalave City's Gym Leader [[Byron]] in two episodes.

'''Velimatti Ranta''' is [[James]]'s original voice actor. Other voice actors for James are '''Anssi Känsälä''', '''Antti Jaakola''', '''Saku Mäkynen''' and '''Peter Pihlström''', who is his current voice actor. {{MTR}} has been voiced by '''Pauli Virta''' and currently by '''Arto Nieminen'''.

{{an|May}} has been voiced by '''Aksa Korttila''' in Seasons 6, 7, and the most of Season 8, while '''Elise Langenoja''' has voiced [[Max]] from Seasons 6 to 8. '''Mirjami Heikkinen''' is the voice actress for {{an|Dawn}}, while {{an|Iris}}' voice actress is '''Saara Aalto'''. {{an|Cilan}} is voiced by '''Petrus Kähkönen''', who has previously voiced some recurring characters and [[Character of the day|characters of the day]]. [[Gary Oak]] has been voiced by '''Pasi Ruohonen''', among other voice actors. Pasi Ruohonen had also voiced the [[narrator]] for many years, but starting with Season 18 the narrator is voiced by '''Markus Bäckman'''. {{an|Serena}} is voiced by '''Alina Tomnikov''', {{an|Clemont}} is voiced by '''Henri Piispanen''' (who had previously voiced [[Shamus]] and {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}), and {{an|Bonnie}} is voiced by '''Henni-Liisa Stam''' (except the last 3 episodes of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', where she was substituted by '''Saara Lehtonen'''). Stam had also voiced May in the last seven episodes of Season 8, and some minor characters.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', {{an|Lana}} is voiced by '''Ella Tarvonen''', {{an|Kiawe}} is voiced by '''Vili Orava''', {{an|Lillie}} is voiced by '''Saara Lehtonen''', {{an|Sophocles}} is voiced by '''Susa Saukko''' (also Jessie's current voice actress), and {{an|Mallow}} is voiced by '''Yasmine Yamajako''', who previously voiced [[Alexa]] and {{an|Hoopa|Hoopa Confined}}. {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} is voiced by '''Markus Niemi'''. {{an|Professor Kukui}} is voiced by '''Ilkka Villi''', whose previous major roles include [[Stephan]], [[Colress]], and {{an|Professor Sycamore}}.

Also, the Eleven to Fourteen bracket winner in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|2006 World Championships}}, [[Miska Saari]], has voiced [[Shane]], the [[character of the day]] in the episode ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]''.<ref>Ilta-Sanomat. "[http://web.archive.org/web/20110720192212/http://www.pvp-voice.fi/lehtileikkeet/is2.jpg Pokemon-mestari tv-sarjaan]" (August 24, 2006)</ref>

The [[M05|fifth]], [[M06|sixth]], and [[M07|seventh]] movies were dubbed by a completely different dubbing group and cast, similar to {{pmin|the Netherlands}}.

Out of all the [[Pikachu short]]s, ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]'', ''[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'', ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', ''[[PK05|Winter Games]]'', ''[[PK06|Stantler's Little Helpers]]'' and ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'' have been dubbed in Finnish, as well as ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''.

==Pokémon manga==
[[File:Pokémon Adventures FI volume 1.jpg|thumb|200px|''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green'' volume 1 in Finnish]]

Some series, published by [[VIZ Media]], are sold in English by Fantasiapelit, a company that also has other Pokémon merchandise, such as TCG cards, in their product range.

On July 25, 2014, Finnish publisher Pauna Media started publishing the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{MangaArc|Yellow}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] under the combined title ''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green''. The first volume was published on July 25, 2014. There were plans to release the entire series, but the original publishing schedule of one volume per month didn't hold up, and only the first five volumes have been released, with no new releases having been announced in years.

Three movie adaptations, ''{{ma|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea}}'', ''{{ma|Giratina and the Sky Warrior}}'', and ''{{ma|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}}'' have been licensed by another publisher, Sangatsu Manga. The mangas were published on January 13, March 11, and May 6, 2016, respectively.

No Pokémon manga has been translated into {{wp|Swedish language|Swedish}}, Finland's other national language.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
Many card sets of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], starting with {{TCG|Base Set}}, have been sold in Finland in many different kiosks and convenience stores. '''Lehtipiste''' stores, the most common being '''R-Kioski''', are known as one of the most reliable places to find Pokémon Trading Cards. {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s are also sold in Finland.

The cards sold in Finland are in English, and the price of one booster pack is typically around five or six Euros.

At least one Masters division {{TCG|2007 World Championships|World Champion}}, [[Tom Roos]], is from Finland. Roos's deck was later printed in promotional form and named {{TCG|Legendary Ascent}}.

'''Kofu''' (Japanese: '''ハイダイ''' ''Haidai'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cascarrafa]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cascarrafa Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He hands out the {{badge|PaldeaWater|Water Badge}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Kofu works as a chef, as well as a Gym Leader. Though he specializes in seafood cuisine, one of his students, [[Katy]], reveals that he also knows how to bake. Kofu takes great pride in his cooking, using only the best of ingredients for his dishes. He is the head chef of his own restaurant, named the [[Kofu Lounge]], in Cascarrafa. He has a warm, hearty, and jovial personality.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/kofu/ Kofu — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Whenever he is surprised, he usually exclaims, "Vaultin' {{p|Veluza}}!" He has an apprentice named Hugo, who is also a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. It is noted that his usual Gym Test is particularly challenging because he wants to help trainers grow, but it is not known what this test entails.

Kofu is first seen running out of his Gym when the {{player}} first approaches it. His Gym staffer reveals that he's heading to an auction at [[Porto Marinada]], but he forgot his [[Kofu's Wallet|wallet]] due to being in a hurry, which she gives to the player to deliver to him. Once the player catches up with Kofu at Porto Marinada and returns his wallet to him, he tasks them on the spot with buying him some rare {{wp|wakame}} seaweed from [[Hoenn]] at the auction as a completely impromptu Gym Test, giving them {{pdollar}}50,000 to do so. After the player has bought the seaweed, they're allowed to keep whatever extra money they have left, while Kofu returns to Cascarrafa, where he can be properly challenged.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Kofu gives out {{TM|022|Chilling Water}} after defeating him.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Kofu can be invited to act as a special coach at [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Challenging the Cascarrafa Gym===
Cascarrafa's Gym Leader: Kofu

(AKA the Surging Chef)

"This Water-type user is a good fit for those with battle experience. He is the chef and owner of the Kofu Lounge, and his zeal for helping trainers grow has led him to craft a taxing Gym Test."

===Pokémon===
Kofu will {{Tera}}stallize his {{p|Crabominable}} at the first opportunity.

'''Kotarou Haida''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|灰|はい}}{{ruby|田|だ}}{{ruby|小|こ}}{{ruby|太|た}}{{ruby|郎|ろう}}''' ''Haida Kotarou''), a [[cross-canon counterpart]] of Kofu, appeared in the Scarlet & Violet arc of [[Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game! Scarlet & Violet Arc|Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game!]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Kofu Adventures.png|220px|thumb|Kofu in Pokémon Adventures]]
Kofu debuted in the {{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}. At [[Asado Desert]], he and [[Saguaro]] found {{Violet}} and [[Arven]] in the middle of a battle with the dual Quaking Earth {{pkmn2|Titan}}s, {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}}. Saguaro explained that while on a trip to the [[Kofu Lounge]], he saw Kofu leave to go help find a missing [[Medali Gym|Treasure Eatery]] employee. They found and brought the employee to safety, but had to return to the area to find a left-behind [[Rotom Phone]]. Once Great Tusk was taken out, Kofu and Saguaro lent their aid by keeping Iron Treads in place long enough for Violet and Arven to defeat it as well. The four then enjoyed sandwiches made from the [[Sour Herba Mystica]] that the two Titans were guarding.

==In the TCG==
[[File:KofuStellarCrown165.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Kofu]]
{{main|Kofu (Stellar Crown 138)}}
'''Kofu''' is introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Stellar Miracle}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Stellar Crown}} expansion, with artwork by [[Hideki Ishikawa]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It lets the player put 2 cards from their hand on the bottom of their deck in any order, then draw 4 cards from the top of the deck. If the player has fewer than 2 other cards in their hand (excluding the Kofu card), the card cannot be played. The Kofu card also interacts with {{TCG ID|Stellar Crown|Crabominable|42}} and {{TCG ID|Stellar Crown|Veluza|45}} from the same expansion, referencing the Pokémon that Kofu uses in the games.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Kofu's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|激流料理人|Torrent Chef}}.
* In the Japanese version of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Kofu says 「ウオーッ！」 whenever he is surprised. While this interjection can be transliterated directly as "Woah!", it also contains a pun on 魚 ''uo'' (fish).

'''Ryme''' (Japanese: '''ライム''' ''Lime'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Montenevera]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Montenevera Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Ryme is the younger sister of [[Tyme]], the math instructor of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, who was previously the Montenevera Gym Leader. Ryme is also a renowned hip-hop artist who often partakes in rap battles. She puts great emotions and passions into both her rapping and her Pokémon battles.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/ryme/ Ryme — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She has been a legendary rapper for four decades. As a teen, she wrote a song to express her grief over the death of her {{pkmn|category|Puppy Pokémon}}. Her singing revived it as a ghost Pokémon. She is still said to "bring the dead to their feet" as the "MC of RIP" thanks to the themes of death in her rap music. It is for these reasons that she decided to become a {{type|Ghost}} [[Pokémon Trainer]].

In addition to her Gym Badge, Ryme gives out {{TM|114|Shadow Ball}} after defeating her.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Ryme can be invited to [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach.

===Challenging the Montenevera Gym===
Montenevera Gym Leader: Ryme

(AKA the MC of RIP)

"This Ghost-type user is among the very greatest. She is a legendary rapper who has performed around the world, and her thrilling live shows rattle the bones with devilish beats and Double Battles."

===Pokémon===

==In animation==
[[File:Ryme anime.png|250px|thumb|Ryme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Ryme first appeared in silhouette alongside the other [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Paldea]] in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'' during [[Clavell]]'s explanation of how [[Tera Training]] works.

Ryme appeared in ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', where she was wandering around the woods looking for an {{p|Annihilape}} when she was led up to Roy by the sound of his singing. Both Trainers expressed their common interest in singing, and Ryme even rapped to encourage [[Roy's Wattrel]] to overcome its fears and insecurities to move forward. She also displayed an interest in [[Roy's Fuecoco]] before leaving with her {{p|Houndstone}}.

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy challenged Ryme for his [[Tera Training]] Implementation test. After a short {{wp|Battle rap|rap battle}}, Ryme praised Roy's rapping skills before facing him in Pokémon battle. Ryme's Houndstone quickly defeated Roy's {{tp|Roy|Kilowattrel}} before being taken out by Fuecoco. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} Ability to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy {{Tera}}stallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', after training with [[Nemona]], Roy challenged Ryme to a rematch. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted {{m|Flamethrower}}, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Ryme was seen at [[Naranja Academy]] talking to [[Geeta]] and [[Larry]] during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]. In the [[HZ067|following episode]], Ryme did a rap performance to celebrate Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]]'s heroics in stopping [[Explorers|a group of villains]] from attacking the academy. During Roy and Liko's battle, Ryme joined in on Roy and Fuecoco's singing, hyping up the crowd, which led to Fuecoco evolving into a {{p|Crocalor}}. Once the tournament had ended, Ryme congratulated Roy and Crocalor for winning their battle and expressed pride in their progress.
[[File:HZ061.png|250px|thumb|Ryme and Roy]]
====Character====
Ryme has an bold and upbeat personality with a passion for rapping and making music, befitting her job as a professional rapper and musician. As a Ghost-type Gym leader, Ryme is known to make remarks about one's soul and spirit in both battle and music. She is encouraging and compassionate as a person, showcased by her encouraging Roy's Wattrel to overcome its fears. Despite this, she does have a tough and strict way of showing encouragement at times, such as telling Roy he failed his test and to go and wash his soul before returning, showcasing how she wants him to improve and understand what errors he made in his ideals before having their rematch.

Ryme's strength as a Gym leader is shown during her first battle against Roy, countering Fuecoco's moves with Toxtricity's ability and superior battling skills. After Roy defeated her in her rematch she was glad to see his improvement in both ideals and battle tactics and complimented him afterwards.

Fuecoco Terastalized soon after and managed to defeat Toxtricity, winning Roy the rematch and passing his test.

==In the TCG==
[[File:RymeObsidianFlames221.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Ryme]]
{{main|Ryme (Obsidian Flames 194)}}
'''Ryme''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} expansion, with artwork by [[nagimiso]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It allows players to draw 3 cards, and then switch out their opponent's Active Pokémon to the Bench (the new Active Pokémon is chosen by the opponent).
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Ryme's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|ソウルフルビート|Soulful Beat}}.
* Befitting her status as a {{type|Ghost}} specialist, Ryme's front-falling dreadlocks resemble a skeleton's arm and her central back one ends in a shape resembling a simplified representation of a pelvis.
* Ryme's ace and Terastallized Pokémon being {{p|Toxtricity}} alludes to their shared trait of music.
* According to a book in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{Sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{Sup/9|V}}, Ryme had either a {{p|Growlithe}}, a {{p|Rockruff}}, or a {{p|Fidough}} before it passed away and was revived as a ghost. It is unknown if this ghost dog is still with her, or if it is distinct from her other two [[Greavard (Pokémon)|ghost]] [[Houndstone (Pokémon)|dogs]].

'''Ryme''' (Japanese: '''ライム''' ''Lime'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Montenevera]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Montenevera Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Ryme is the younger sister of [[Tyme]], the math instructor of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, who was previously the Montenevera Gym Leader. Ryme is also a renowned hip-hop artist who often partakes in rap battles. She puts great emotions and passions into both her rapping and her Pokémon battles.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/ryme/ Ryme — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She has been a legendary rapper for four decades. As a teen, she wrote a song to express her grief over the death of her {{pkmn|category|Puppy Pokémon}}. Her singing revived it as a ghost Pokémon. She is still said to "bring the dead to their feet" as the "MC of RIP" thanks to the themes of death in her rap music. It is for these reasons that she decided to become a {{type|Ghost}} [[Pokémon Trainer]].

In addition to her Gym Badge, Ryme gives out {{TM|114|Shadow Ball}} after defeating her.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Ryme can be invited to [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach.

===Challenging the Montenevera Gym===
Montenevera Gym Leader: Ryme

(AKA the MC of RIP)

"This Ghost-type user is among the very greatest. She is a legendary rapper who has performed around the world, and her thrilling live shows rattle the bones with devilish beats and Double Battles."

===Pokémon===
Ryme is always faced in a [[Double Battle]]. She will {{Tera}}stallize her {{p|Toxtricity}} at the first opportunity.

====Gym battle====
Certain actions during the Gym battle will cause the spectators to cheer for either Trainer. This causes the Pokémon from the supported side to receive stat boosts in one or more of their stats.

==In animation==
[[File:Ryme anime.png|250px|thumb|Ryme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Ryme first appeared in silhouette alongside the other [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Paldea]] in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'' during [[Clavell]]'s explanation of how [[Tera Training]] works.

Ryme appeared in ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', where she was wandering around the woods looking for an {{p|Annihilape}} when she was led up to Roy by the sound of his singing. Both Trainers expressed their common interest in singing, and Ryme even rapped to encourage [[Roy's Wattrel]] to overcome its fears and insecurities to move forward. She also displayed an interest in [[Roy's Fuecoco]] before leaving with her {{p|Houndstone}}.

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy challenged Ryme for his [[Tera Training]] Implementation test. After a short {{wp|Battle rap|rap battle}}, Ryme praised Roy's rapping skills before facing him in Pokémon battle. Ryme's Houndstone quickly defeated Roy's {{tp|Roy|Kilowattrel}} before being taken out by Fuecoco. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} Ability to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy {{Tera}}stallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', after training with [[Nemona]], Roy challenged Ryme to a rematch. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted {{m|Flamethrower}}, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Ryme was seen at [[Naranja Academy]] talking to [[Geeta]] and [[Larry]] during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]. In the [[HZ067|following episode]], Ryme did a rap performance to celebrate Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]]'s heroics in stopping [[Explorers|a group of villains]] from attacking the academy. During Roy and Liko's battle, Ryme joined in on Roy and Fuecoco's singing, hyping up the crowd, which led to Fuecoco evolving into a {{p|Crocalor}}. Once the tournament had ended, Ryme congratulated Roy and Crocalor for winning their battle and expressed pride in their progress.
[[File:HZ061.png|250px|thumb|Ryme and Roy]]
====Character====
Ryme has an bold and upbeat personality with a passion for rapping and making music, befitting her job as a professional rapper and musician. As a Ghost-type Gym leader, Ryme is known to make remarks about one's soul and spirit in both battle and music. She is encouraging and compassionate as a person, showcased by her encouraging Roy's Wattrel to overcome its fears. Despite this, she does have a tough and strict way of showing encouragement at times, such as telling Roy he failed his test and to go and wash his soul before returning, showcasing how she wants him to improve and understand what errors he made in his ideals before having their rematch.

Ryme's strength as a Gym leader is shown during her first battle against Roy, countering Fuecoco's moves with Toxtricity's ability and superior battling skills. After Roy defeated her in her rematch she was glad to see his improvement in both ideals and battle tactics and complimented him afterwards.

Fuecoco Terastalized soon after and managed to defeat Toxtricity, winning Roy the rematch and passing his test.

==In the TCG==
[[File:RymeObsidianFlames221.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Ryme]]
{{main|Ryme (Obsidian Flames 194)}}
'''Ryme''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} expansion, with artwork by [[nagimiso]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It allows players to draw 3 cards, and then switch out their opponent's Active Pokémon to the Bench (the new Active Pokémon is chosen by the opponent).
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Ryme's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|ソウルフルビート|Soulful Beat}}.
* Befitting her status as a {{type|Ghost}} specialist, Ryme's front-falling dreadlocks resemble a skeleton's arm and her central back one ends in a shape resembling a simplified representation of a pelvis.
* Ryme's ace and Terastallized Pokémon being {{p|Toxtricity}} alludes to their shared trait of music.
* According to a book in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{Sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{Sup/9|V}}, Ryme had either a {{p|Growlithe}}, a {{p|Rockruff}}, or a {{p|Fidough}} before it passed away and was revived as a ghost. It is unknown if this ghost dog is still with her, or if it is distinct from her other two [[Greavard (Pokémon)|ghost]] [[Houndstone (Pokémon)|dogs]].

'''Katy''' (Japanese: '''カエデ''' ''Kaede'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cortondo]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cortondo Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She hands out the {{badge|PaldeaBug|Bug Badge}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.

==In the core series games==
Besides being a Gym Leader, Katy runs a bakery named Patisserie Soapberry (Japanese: '''パティスリー　ムクロジ''' ''Pâtisserie Mukuroji''), having inherited the shop from her family.<ref>[[Magazines in the Pokémon world|Sweet Truth!]]: ''"At the heart of it all is Katy, the proprietor, who inherited the [Patisserie Soapberry] from family and keeps its ovens hard at work!"'' ({{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> She believes that both sweets and Bug-type Pokémon have great power despite their small sizes.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/katy/ Katy — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She was trained in the art of baking under the wing of [[Kofu]].

Because her Gym is so close to [[Mesagoza]], where many Trainers begin their [[Pokémon journey]], [[Geeta]] urges Katy to keep her battle style light and easy despite her wanting to go more all out, as evident by her Gym having the lowest-leveled Pokémon in the [[Paldea League]]. After her post-game [[rematch]] with the {{player}}, she has a moment of reflection and decides to step up the difficulty of her Gym to fit her style more.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Katy gives out {{TM|021|Pounce}} after defeating her.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Katy can be invited to act as a special coach at [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Challenging the Cortondo Gym===
Cortondo Gym Leader: Katy

(AKA: the Sugarbug)

"This Bug-type user is a recommended first stop for anyone considering taking on the Pokémon League. Though sweet as a treat, this baker of bug-themed pastries shows a bold streak in battle."

[[File:Katy anime.png|thumb|250px|Katy in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Katy appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', and was later mentioned as [[Liko]]'s first challenge at [[Tera Training]].

Katy physically debuted in ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'' as the owner of Patisserie Soapberry, where [[Murdock]] was working for the time being. Katy set a baking contest between Liko and [[Coral]] to see which one of them would battle her, which Liko won, allowing Liko to battle her. After Coral threw a tantrum over her loss, Katy gave her a stern scolding and intimidating stare which made Coral leave without further incident. Although Liko lost the battle, Katy gave her a passing mark as she had mastered the basics of Terastallizing.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Katy appeared at [[Naranja Academy]] to act as Liko's partner against [[Rika]] in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]]. In [[HZ056|the following episode]], Katy played the role of support by having her {{p|Lokix}} protect Liko's Floragato from taking damage. When Lokix ended up {{status|poison}}ed, Katy stopped holding back and had Lokix launch a barrage of attacks to both damage and weaken Rika's Pokémon before succumbing to its status ailment. Despite this, Rika's {{p|Clodsire}} eventually defeated Floragato, winning the battle. Afterward, Katy consoled an emotional Liko, who began crying from the frustration of losing despite giving it her all in battle.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Katy met up with Liko along with Ann to encourage Liko before her battle against Roy, Katy then watched the match unfold. After the battle, Katy and Grusha met up with Liko to encourage her on her progress as a Trainer.

In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', Dot revealed that after the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] disbanded, Murdock went back to working for Katy at the Patisserie Soapberry.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Katy and Murdock met with Liko, Roy, Dot, and their new traveling companion, [[Ult]]. Upon learning the children reformed the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. Katy helped relieve Murdock's worries by having a rematch with Liko to show how much she had grown. She revealed her {{p|Teddiursa|Teddy}} had [[Evolution|Evolved]] into a {{p|Ursaring}} and used it to battle [[Pagogo]], which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, as she and Murdock saw the children off, Katy praised them for continuing to grow despite the hardships they faced. She then suggested that Murdock also had potential to grow, proposing that he rejoin Liko and the others when the time was right.

In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Katy was shown in a flashback, saying goodbye to Murdock as he left to rejoin the Rising Volt Tacklers.

====Character====
Katy has a kind and upbeat personality, being friendly to people she meets. However, when people are misbehaving or causing trouble in front of her like with Coral, she becomes more strict and fierce, not being afraid to tell people off. In battle Katy becomes more excited and ruthless, she loves going all out and does not like holding back against opponents, like with her battle against Rika.

Katy debuted in ''[[PASV06|Skillful! The Mysterious Treasure Hunter!!]]''. She was first seen watching {{Scarlet}} participate in the [[Cortondo Gym]]'s Olive Roll. Once Scarlet successfully completed the Gym Test, she faced Katy in a Gym battle. Although Scarlet emerged victorious, she rejected the Gym Badge Katy offered her, stating she had no need for it. Instead, Scarlet revealed her profession as a treasure hunter looking for the [[treasures of ruin]] and requested that Katy provide her with any information she might have on them. Katy had no knowledge on the subject, but agreed to let [[Brassius]] know what Scarlet was searching for ahead of time.

==In the TCG==
[[File:KatyScarletViolet237.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare Katy]]
{{main|Katy (Scarlet & Violet 177)}}
'''Katy''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[Akira Komayama]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version of the card with artwork by the same illustrator was also included in these sets. It lets players shuffle their hand into their deck, and draw eight cards. This ends the player's turn.

==Trivia==
[[File:SV Reveal Trailer Katy Apron.png|thumb|250px|An apron with the earlier unused design for Katy's logo, as seen in the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} reveal trailer.<ref name=SVTrailer/>]]
* Katy's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|お菓子の虫|Bug of Sweets}}.
* The spider web logo on Katy's apron is notably different in her concept art compared to her final design — the unused logo has a more elaborate look, with a depiction of a slice of cake in one section of the web. An apron with the unused logo is shown prominently in the announcement trailer for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<ref name=SVTrailer>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAmueMsFR1o Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Announcement Trailer - YouTube]</ref>
* Katy has the highest [[Trainer ID number]] (993663) of any NPC in the franchise whose ID number is canonically known, as seen in the [[in-game trade]] she offers in Blueberry Academy's League Club Room.
* Katy is the only [[Paldea]] Gym Leader whose Terastallized Pokémon changes between her initial Gym battle and her rematch battle (due to her {{p|Teddiursa}} having [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Ursaring}}).
** The fact that Katy's Terastallized Pokémon is Teddiursa (and later Ursaring) may allude to common depictions of bears enjoying honey. It may also be a pun on the {{wp|bugbear}}, a mythical creature.
** She is also the only [[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use a Terastallized Pokémon that is not fully evolved in her final team, as Ursaring is unable to evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}} in Scarlet and Violet.
** Along with [[Hassel]], Katy is also the other Trainer to use a non-fully evolved Pokémon in their [[League Club Room]] team.
* Katy's hairstyle and the pattern of her hat resemble insects' antennae, while her tight-fitting clothing with a waistband around her body bears a resemblance to an insect's segmented body.
* Katy was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1984426148626133440 Twitter post about designing Katy, Brassius, Iono, and Tulip]</ref>

Clavell first appears as the host of the introductory video at the start of the game, welcoming the player to the academy as well as the [[Paldea]] region as a whole. On the player's first day as a student, he arrives at their house in [[Cabo Poco]] to give them their [[first partner Pokémon]]. Clavell leads the player to the house of [[Nemona]], a [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer and fellow student, where Clavell asks the player to select a Pokémon. Nemona then decides to take one of the Pokémon herself to start anew, and Clavell takes the last of the first partner Pokémon remaining. After the player and Nemona battle, Clavell remains at Nemona's home in Cabo Poco until the two arrive at the academy.

===Pre-game===
In his youth, Clavell studied at the same university as [[Cyrano]], who later founded [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]]. Later on, Clavell worked primarily as a Pokémon researcher and was part of the research team of [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, investigating [[Area Zero]]. [[Jacq]], the current biology teacher of the academy, worked alongside Clavell as his subordinate and is frequently at the receiving end of Clavell's criticizing. A year and a half before the events of the game, Clavell was named the director of the academy by [[Geeta]].

===★ Starfall Street ★===
During the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline, he disguises himself as a student named '''Clive''' (Japanese: '''ネルケ''' ''Nelke'') to support the player and learn the truth behind [[Team Star]]'s reputation and actions.

===Victory Road===
Clavell appears as part of [[Iono]]'s [[Gym]] Test, where he hides somewhere in three locations, the first location being the street connected to the [[Levincia]] Gym building, the second location being the street connected to the Levincia [[Pokémon Center]], and the third location being the Levincia Gym's battle court. The player must use the street surveillance cameras to seek him. Iono refers to Clavell as '''Mister Walksabout''' (Japanese: '''ジェントルさん''' ''Jentoru-san'') throughout the Gym Test. Clavell explains that he owes the {{pal|Pokémon League}} "for many a past favor", which is why he agreed to help Iono with her Gym Test. For the first two locations, the player will always have to battle Iono's {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, even if they found Clavell on their first try or not.

===Post-game===
After the player's adventure in [[Area Zero]], Clavell thanks them, Nemona, [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] for their efforts in stopping the professor's time machine, despite having had to go into the area without permission to do so. After giving the player a [[Master Ball]], Clavell explains that while their deeds in Area Zero must be kept secret, the player's attaining of Champion rank deserves to be celebrated, and he and Nemona begin organizing a tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Known as the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], Clavell gives the tournament's opening speech. After the player wins the competition, Clavell decides for more competitions to be held, and may appear as a final opponent in further tournaments.

===Pokémon===
Clavell's team will always contain the final evolutionary form of the [[first partner Pokémon]] with a type advantage to the player's chosen first partner Pokémon. This is likely the first partner Pokémon that remained with him after the player and [[Nemona]] chose their own first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game. The remainder of his team will be based on his first partner Pokémon. Clavell also sends out a Pawmi during the game's opening cutscene.

===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Clavell will {{Tera}}stallize his [[first partner Pokémon]] at the first opportunity.

[[File:Clavell anime.png|250px|thumb|Clavell in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'']]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Clavell first appeared in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]''. He was first seen with [[Geeta]] explaining the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] to [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. When [[Nemona]] joined them, Clavell asked her to show the new students around the academy. Later, when [[Coral|"Cornbread"]] and [[Sidian|"Seasoning"]] arrived at the academy, Clavell noted they were not registered in the school's systems. He was then approached by [[Chalce|"Chive"]], who promised to resolve the issue for him.

In ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]'', Clavell found Cornbread and Seasoning spying on Liko's group in [[Levincia]]. Believing the duo were interested in the performance of their academy colleagues, Clavell offered to accompany them to the [[Levincia Gym]], only to be left behind while he was distracted. Shortly afterward, Clavell traveled with Liko and Roy to watch Dot's Terastal battle against [[Iono]]. After the battle, Clavell instructed Liko, Roy, and Dot to return to the academy while also doing reports on any wild Pokémon they encounter on the way back.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Clavell met the students taking on the Tera Training course as they returned to the academy and announced the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], a friendly set of [[Multi Battle|Tag Battles]] where students would get to team up with [[Gym Leader]]s against members of the [[Paldea]] [[Elite Four]] while waiting for their next assignment. He was later seen observing the battles alongside Geeta.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', alongside Geeta, Clavell was introduced to {{an|Terapagos}} during a meeting with [[Friede]], Liko, Roy, and Dot. After telling them what they knew about the Pokémon, Geeta talked about [[Area Zero]], and together with Clavell recommended that the group seek help from [[Raifort]] to find out more about Terapagos and [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Clavell initiated the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]. Following Liko and her friends defending the academy from the [[Explorers]], Clavell invited Liko to his office, where [[Grusha]], having witnessed Liko's victory over [[Sidian]], allowed her to pass her second Tera Training test. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Clavell watched the tournament battle between Liko and Roy, after which he formally concluded the tournament.

Clavell was mentioned multiple times in [[HZ115]] and [[HZ116]], where [[Cyrano]] revealed that they both talked about the young Rising Volt Tacklers. At that time, Cyrano revealed that he calls Clavell by the nickname ''Vell-chan''. [[HZ116|Some time later]], Cyrano revealed that Clavell had asked him to look after the young Rising Volt Tacklers and how promising they were as Trainers.

====Character====
According to Clavell, he has the habit of personally monitoring his students' performance, and seeing how well they do. He is also kind and encouraging towards students, such as when he encouraged Liko on her progress as a trainer, even showing appreciation for her heroic actions that protected the school.

Clavell also has a habit of dwelling on random topics at important moments. He also tends to get into lengthy conversations without realizing it.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
Clavell debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]''. He was first seen at [[Uva Academy]]'s courtyard, hosting the opening ceremony for the Treasure Hunt. The presentation was interrupted by a student named {{Violet}}, who agreed to accept punishment if he was defeated in a race. [[Dendra]] accepted the challenge and competed against Violet alongside two other teachers. Although Dendra emerged the victor, Violet ended up running off with [[Arven]] to search for the [[Herba Mystica]]. Later, Clavell called the teaching staff in order to inform them of Violet's backstory and explain his behavior.

In ''[[PASV03|Battle! Team Star, the Delinquents!!]]'', in order to deal with [[Team Star]], Clavell and two teachers traveled to [[West Province (Area One)]]. They witnessed Violet driving off a pair of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s trying to forcibly recruit a girl named [[Penny]]. Shortly after Violet and Penny went their separate ways, the former received a call from someone going by the name "[[Cassiopeia]]". The mysterious caller recruited Violet and Arven as members of Operation Starfall, a plan to defeat Team Star's five squad bosses and force the group to disband. When Violet and Arven arrived at the [[Segin Squad's Base]], they were approached by Clavell. Disguised as a student named Clive, Clavell requested to be included in Operation Starfall, which Cassiopeia accepted. Violet was unable to see through his disguise, much to Arven's bafflement, but Clavell quietly told Arven to play along.

In ''[[PASV05|Challenge! DJ Giacomo!!]]'', Violet and Arven battled through waves of Grunts while Clavell played support by healing their injured Pokémon. Once the Grunts were defeated, their boss [[Giacomo]] stepped out. Using the [[Tera Orb]] Clavell gave him, Violet defeated Giacomo, Accepting his defeat, Giacomo stepped down as a boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.

In ''[[PASV07|Fierce Battle! The Stony Cliff Titan!!]]'', Clavell returned to the academy to research more about Team Star and their leader. His attempts ended in failure, as any information from before he was hired as Director had been wiped from the academy's database. Speculating that this may have been a cover-up, Clavell decided the best option to learn about Team Star was to ask a student who was enrolled back when the team was still active.

[[File:Clive Adventures.png|270px|left|thumb|Clive in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[PASV13]], while in [[Levincia]], Clavell received a call from Arven, who requested that he help Violet raid the [[Schedar Squad's Base]] in his stead. Clavell agreed, but once he arrived at the base as Clive, he found Violet he found Violet tied up in a ball of webbing. Violet explained that a girl named {{Scarlet}} trapped him in her {{p|Tarountula}}'s thread and stole {{ga|Miraidon}}. After Violet was freed, he and Clavell were approached by Nemona, who had come searching for Scarlet. Arven called Violet and informed him that he had met and started traveling with Scarlet. Satisfied, Violet and Nemona raided the Schedar Squad's Base together.

In [[PASV16]], during Violet's battle with [[Mela]], the Fire crew's boss, Clavell noticed that the temperature quickly started to rise. The strong sunlight eventually caused Violet to pass out from heatstroke. He was revived soon after with a {{m|Rain Dance}} from Nemona's {{p|Quaxly}}. Clavell revealed the culprit was a group of {{p|Charcadet}} led by Charlos, a Charcadet raised by the academy that Mela had befriended. Mela scolded Charlos for its interference before continuing her battle with Violet, which eventually ended in the latter's victory. Accepting her loss, Mela stepped down as squad boss. Clavell explained that he had been investigating Team Star, but all information on them had been wiped from the academy database. Mela was shocked to learn this and suspected it was an intentional act of sabotage. Mela agreed to talk about Operation Star, but only after she had consulted the other squad bosses and the big boss. While Violet and Nemona went off to meet with Scarlet and Arven, Clavell stayed behind to continue talking with the Grunts at the base.

Later, at the Uva Academy staff room, Clavell talked to [[Dendra]], [[Raifort]], and [[Tyme]] about Scarlet. Dendra revealed that despite Scarlet's school records claiming she had perfect attendance and a battle record comparable to Nemona's, she had never actually seen Scarlet before the opening ceremony. Clavell suspected that Scarlet may have infiltrated the school for some reason. He was then interrupted by a call from Cassiopeia, who informed him that Violet had already gone to raid the [[Navi Squad's Base]].

Later, after donning his Clive disguise, Clavell made his way to [[Tagtree Thicket]], only to find the area completely deserted. He noted the ground was coated in {{p|Muk}} poison, which he suspected was a trap meant to stop Violet. When a student named [[Youssef]] tried launching a sneak attack, Clavell easily fended off his opponent. Youssef admitted his loss and explained he wasn't a Team Star member, but was close friends with [[Atticus]], the Navi Squad boss. To Youssef's shock, Clavell revealed that he had learned about an internal conflict within Team Star. Several Grunts planned to launch a coup, defeat the remaining bosses, and reform Team Star to suit their benefits. Clavell assured Youssef he meant Team Star no harm and asked that he cooperate with him.

{{main|Clavell (Paldea Evolved 177)}}
'''Clavell''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Triplet Beat}} subset and the English {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} expansion, with artwork by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]] was released in the same sets. It lets players search their deck for up to three Basic Pokémon with 120 HP or less, reveal them, and put them in their hand. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.

===Clive===
{{main|Clive (Paldean Fates 78)}}
Clavell's alter ego '''Clive''' was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era) as well. It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Treasure ex}} subset, with artwork by [[GOSSAN]]. It allows players to draw two cards for each Supporter card in their opponent's hand.

==Trivia==
* Clavell's Trainer ID is 209896. He has the same ID as [[Grusha]].
* Clavell's [[Rotom Phone]] uses a [[List of clothing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Rotom Phone|White Case]].
* Clavell, [[Nemona]], and [[Iono]] are the only characters in the [[League Club Room]] that don't trade to the player a Pokémon or a pre-Evolution of a Pokemon that they are seen using in battle, instead trading {{p|Pawmo}}, {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Magnemite}}, respectively.
** The Pokémon that Clavell and Nemona trade, however, are references to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s opening cutscene, where he is seen with a {{p|Pawmi}} and she with a Paldean Tauros.
* In the League Club Room, Clavell reveals he wears [[Premier Ball]]s on his person simply because [[Cyrano]] said he should do so.
