'''Anita''' (Japanese: '''アザミ''' ''Azami'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School!]]''.

She initially found her time at the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] boring, namely because she was forced to attend because of her parents. However, after seeing [[Max]] and {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} help save some stolen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from {{TRT}}, her views about Pokémon changed.

Anita disliked Tommy because he prided himself on being the star student and often bullied the other children. Anita would often leap to her fellow students defense, as she did for {{OBP|Kenny|AG015}} during the school trip. Her opinions of Tommy quickly changed after she joned forces with him to take down Team Rocket.

'''Gary Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・シゲル''' ''Shigeru Okido'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon Researcher]] from [[Pallet Town]] and grandson of {{an|Professor Oak}}. He is a childhood friend of [[Ash Ketchum]] and his main [[rival]] in the [[original series]]. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', he serves as [[Goh]]'s rival in [[Project Mew]]. His Japanese name is derived from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|220px|Young Gary]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Gary has been a neighbor of [[Ash Ketchum]] since they were both young. At one time, they seemed to be friends and went to see movies together, as seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

Shortly before beginning their journeys, Gary and Ash found an old {{i|Poké Ball}} while [[fishing]]. The two boys began fighting over who would get to keep the Poké Ball but ended up breaking it in half. Since then, they decided to keep the two separate pieces for themselves. It was revealed in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' that they still carried the pieces with them.

=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Gary Oak debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Gary's first appearance]]
Gary debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where he went to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] along with two other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s before {{Ash}} did. After choosing his [[first partner Pokémon]], he left [[Pallet Town]] with his {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}} on a sporty red convertible, refusing to tell Ash which Pokémon he had chosen.

Gary made quick progress through his Pokémon journey, much to Ash's annoyance. He breezed through the {{gy|Pewter}} and {{gy|Cerulean}} [[Gym]]s prior to ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. It was also revealed in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' that Gary had also defeated [[Samurai]] in a battle.

Gary made a brief appearance in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', where he exited a town store, accidentally knocking Ash out in the process. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} revealed to Ash that Gary had already caught 45 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, compared to Ash's team of seven. Professor Oak also revealed that Gary's Pokémon included a much larger {{p|Krabby}} than the {{AP|Krabby}} that Ash caught that episode.

In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', Gary hopped onstage during the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]] and attempted to insult Ash in front of the gathered crowd.

In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', Gary was one of the Trainers who decided to help out the [[foreman]] in getting rid of the {{p|Diglett}} affecting construction at [[Gaiva Dam]]. Gary attempted to send out a Pokémon to battle the Diglett, but it did not exit the {{i|Poké Ball}}, and a Diglett returned it to him. He tried to send out his other Pokémon, though they also did not leave their Poké Balls and were returned to him by the Diglett. Realizing that his Pokémon did not want to battle the Diglett, he deemed it pointless to stay and left with his cheerleaders in their convertible.

In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Gary went digging for [[Fossil]]s in [[Grampa Canyon]]. As soon as Gary starts, he finds something he thinks is a Fossil. However, when one of the members of the excavation team takes a closer look, he realizes that it is a Pokémon's dung. Later, when an {{p|Aerodactyl}} gets out of control, Gary is one of those affected by {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song that puts everyone to sleep. At the end of the day, when [[Officer Jenny]] decides to close the archaeological site, Gary is suspicious of the excuse given for the presence of the Fossil Pokémon that were out of control.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Gary was on vacation rather than bothering to challenge the local [[Cinnabar Gym]]. When Gary is confronted by Ash, he reveals to his rival that there has been no Gym in [[Cinnabar Island]] for several years. Later, Gary finds Ash again while [[Ash's friends|Ash's group]] was looking for a place to stay, trying to humiliate Ash, Gary offers food in exchange for Ash to do what he asks. Soon after, Jigglypuff appears and thinking it's a show, Gary and the cheerleaders end up falling asleep, which makes the Balloon Pokémon angry.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', he revealed that he had already received ten [[Badge]]s. He then went to the challenge the {{gy|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}. At first, he seemed to be winning, knocking out his {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Kingler}} with his {{p|Nidoking}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, respectively. However, the tide of the battle turned when Giovanni sent out {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} (disguised in armor). Though Gary was allowed to use both his Pokémon against him, Mewtwo made quick work of Gary's team, and he lost the battle. When Ash and his friends later entered the Gym, they found Gary and his cheerleaders lying unconscious on the floor. Once Ash revived him, Gary warned Ash about that Pokémon's power. He asserted that Giovanni's mysterious Pokémon was not only powerful, but also evil—and that no Trainer would ever beat it. Gary then watched Ash battle {{TRT}}, who had appeared as the temporary Gym Leaders and invited Ash to challenge them. During the battle, he tackles {{MTR}} to prevent him from using a remote to detonate the platform where Ash stood. He also admits that Ash is a good Trainer after watching his team defeating all the Pokémon that Team Rocket used. Following the battle, Gary flees the collapsing Gym with the others.

In ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary returned to Pallet Town and headed to the lobby of Professor Oak's Laboratory. The grandfather mentioned to both Ash and Gary that they were the top Trainers, noting the other two couldn't compare with their battling skills. Professor Oak then showed Gary's collection of Pokémon to Ash. Although he had seen more Pokémon, Gary had managed to catch a far greater amount. After Team Rocket was defeated, he promised Ash that they would have their battle at the Pokémon League.

[[File:Gary and Oak.png|thumb|220px|Gary and his grandfather]]
In ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', Gary met up with Ash in the Pokémon League in [[Indigo Plateau]]. He departed the area after claiming he would get ''Loseritis''. The next day, he was seen in the stadium with the other Trainers and Ash. Gary did not stay that long as his opponent, [[Melissa]], defeated his Nidoking using her Golem, which eliminated him from the Pokémon League. Following the loss, he left on another journey.

Gary eventually returned from that journey in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Much unlike his former self, he congratulated Ash on his victory in the [[Orange League]]. Ash challenged him to a battle in the [[EP116|next episode]] with {{AP|Pikachu}} as his choice. Gary in turn used his {{TP|Gary|Eevee}}. Gary managed to defeat Ash and then left on his journey through [[Johto]].

Ash and his friends encountered Gary on their way to [[Violet City]] in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''. Gary recommended they find themselves a {{p|Hoothoot}} to avoid becoming lost in the particularly disorientating forest before leaving to continue catching more Pokémon.
[[File:Gary Oak OS.png|thumb|left|220px|Gary in the original series]]
In ''[[EP171|Power Play]]'', he battled a Trainer named [[Alex Davis]] with his {{p|Umbreon}}, which had [[Evolution|evolved]] from his Eevee prior. Gary was able to defeat Alex and his {{p|Alakazam}}. The battle made Ash want to challenge Gary next, but he refused and walked off. Ash sent out his other Pokémon to battle Umbreon, but Gary had already left. From their campsite, Gary and Umbreon noticed a blackout in a town Ash and his friends were in. The two jumped into the rescue of the Power Plant when it was attacked by the Team Rocket trio with their Robo-Mecha {{p|Wobbuffet}}. Following the mecha's defeat, Gary worked with Ash and his friends to get the power back on.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', he was practicing with Arcanine for the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]]. He then entered the race and competed against Ash and his {{AP|Bayleef}}. They were both in the lead, though Ash was able to narrowly win the event.

Gary arrived in {{jo|Silver Town}} in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'' to compete in the [[Silver Conference]]. He greeted Ash and exchanged pleasantries, promising to get to the top and defeat him. Gary was able to get past the screening round along with Ash and {{jo|Harrison}}.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' and ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', he battled Ash in an intense [[Full Battle]]. In the final round, Ash ended up winning the battle when his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated Gary's Blastoise, eliminating him from the tournament. Afterwards, Gary continued to support Ash's campaign from the sidelines.

By ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', Gary decided that he didn't want to be a Pokémon Trainer anymore, but instead a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon researcher]] like his grandfather. Gary managed to reach Pallet Town a few days before Ash, and as he was preparing to leave for his next venture with just his Blastoise, Ash encountered him in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''. Gary's fresh start approach inspired Ash's desire to travel to [[Hoenn]].

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
Gary appeared in a flashback to Ash's childhood in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', Gary was revealed to be working on [[Sayda Island]] as a [[Fossil]] researcher with [[Dora]], head of the Sayda Lab. There, he revived an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from an [[Old Amber]]. At first, the Aerodactyl was afraid of him and every other person on the island. However, Gary gained its trust after he fed it some fruit that Aerodactyl used to eat. Afterwards, Dora announced that Gary could now work full-time at the Sayda Lab.

Eventually, he moved to the [[Sinnoh]] region, where he was conducting his research. He sent a postcard to Ash from there in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', which motivated him to not to get himself down after a loss and keep fighting, much like he did during their rivalry.

In ''[[AG192|Home Is Where The Start Is!]]'', Gary reunited with Ash. He battled him with his {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} and defeated Ash's Pikachu once more.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====

During his time in Sinnoh, Gary became an assistant of [[Professor Rowan]]. As before, Gary conducts his research on rare Pokémon, including [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] and [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Gary demonstrated more maturity and more respect for other people, especially Ash. Upon meeting him, {{an|Dawn}} thought that he was a poet like his {{an|Professor Oak|grandfather}}.
[[File:Gary Oak DP.png|thumb|250px|Gary in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']]
In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', he was taking care of a group of {{p|Shieldon}} and protected them from [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her minions]]. Gary and Ash were forced to join forces to defeat the enemy, even though Ash had been against it. However, thanks to the efforts of the two they managed to save Shieldon from the hands of J.

He appeared again in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', where he helped Ash and {{AP|Gligar}} by giving a [[Razor Fang]] to Ash. This caused Gligar to [[Evolution|evolve]] later on. He was in the area after hearing rumors of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, whom Ash had seen earlier at [[Lake Valor]].

Gary later appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', working alongside Professor Rowan at [[Valor Lakefront]] where he attempted to protect Azelf from J and [[Team Galactic]]; however, he was unable to defeat [[Saturn]] in battle. He later monitored the changes around [[Mt. Coronet]] caused by [[Cyrus]]'s attempts to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Gary and Professor Rowan later arrived to collect the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s after Ash's group and {{an|Cynthia}} handled Team Galactic.

It's [[JN068|later revealed]] that Gary followed Ash's attendance at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], in particular, the battle between him and [[Paul]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
Gary later reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Gary Pokemon.png|250px|thumb|left|Gary in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'']]
Gary reappeared in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', using his Blastoise to save Ash and [[Goh]] from an {{p|Onix}} that Goh failed to catch. While reuniting with Ash, Gary revealed that he had left Sinnoh to travel the world to research Pokémon. After being introduced to Goh, he let both of them know that he is pursuing the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Moltres}}, while Ash told him that he was looking for his lost {{AP|Infernape}}. They both agreed to help each other with their respective tasks.

After a bit of journeying, they arrived in a valley, where they found both Infernape and Moltres, and proceeded to battle the latter. After an intense match, they managed to damage Moltres enough to force it to retreat, while Gary retrieved a burning feather that it had dropped. Back at Professor Oak's Laboratory, Gary was revealed to be participating in [[Project Mew]], with retrieving a Moltres feather having been his [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. Gary subsequently left to continue his research.
[[File:Goh and Gary.png|thumb|250px|Gary and Goh]]
Gary reappeared in ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', where he briefly met Ash and Goh as they arrived in Sinnoh for Goh's first Project Mew mission.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Gary was seen at the [[Seafoam Islands]] in search of an {{p|Articuno}}. On finding Articuno, Gary took part in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] with Ash, Goh, and [[Horace]], using {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}, and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, only for Articuno to eventually fly away. Despite this, Gary managed to obtain Tokens for the mission and an extra Token for leading the battle, a short time later, before going his way Gary had a brief conversation with Goh about the posture a Challenger should have.

In ''[[JN110|Narrowing the Chaser Chase!]]'', Goh was informed that Gary was on another mission led by [[Quillon]]. Shortly after the conclusion of the [[Sea Mauville]] battle royale, Quillon informed [[Danika]] that Gary had successfully completed his mission. In the display of the current Project Mew Challenger placings, Gary was revealed to be the highest-ranked Challenger in Project Mew with a total of 12 tokens.

In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', Gary assisted Goh in the final Trial Mission at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]]. After defeating [[Lyla]] and [[Sterling]], they teamed up to take on {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, with both of them successfully catching one of them and officially becoming Chasers afterwards.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Gary met with the other members of Project Mew in [[Slateport City]] to begin the final expedition. During the meeting, Gary talked to Goh about Ash's final battle in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', he was briefly seen together with the other members of Project Mew during the climax of Ash's battle against Leon.

In ''[[JN133|The Mew from Here!]]'' and ''[[JN134|In the Palms of our Hands!]]'', Gary and the other members of Project Mew explored [[Faraway Island]] in their search for {{an|Mew}}, eventually succeeding in finding it. After this, Project Mew was disbanded.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Gary and Horace were seen being greeted by {{an|Professor Oak}} at the entrance to his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]].

Gary reunited with Ash again in ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]''. After rescuing a trapped {{p|Charmander}}, Gary congratulated Ash on winning the [[World Coronation Series]]. After questioning Ash about what his next step would be from now on, Gary went off on a new journey alongside Umbreon.

====Character====
[[File:Ash and Gary.png|thumb|250px|left|Gary and Ash]]
The day he started out on his [[Pokémon journey]], he came off as an arrogant {{pkmn|Trainer}}, much like his {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}. His chosen [[first partner Pokémon]] was {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, which was actually the same Pokémon that {{Ash}} originally wanted to start with. He even had a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. He didn't walk on his journeys like most Trainers did; instead, he had his own sporty red convertible with a chauffeur. Gary loved when he got a chance to make fun of Ash by bragging about how far behind Ash was compared to him. He also gave Ash the pet name of "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: {{tt|"Satoshi''-kun''"|Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name and ''-kun'' is a Japanese honorific, kun can be considered insulting when not used among friends}}), which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to capture many Pokémon and to use the strongest, as a stark contrast to Ash, who focused on developing a bond with his Pokémon.

His arrogance continued over time during Ash's journey in [[Kanto]] until he challenged the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}, to a Pokémon battle for his final (but unnecessary) [[Badge]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where he was brutally defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. However, this still didn't change his arrogance. It would take a loss at the [[Pokémon League]] way later on against [[Melissa]] for him to finally realize that he greatly needed to change himself. Following his loss, Gary would become more polite and respectful of others, no longer showing any of his arrogant and extravagant tendencies from the past. This change in attitude would continue to be apparent throughout his few appearances during the [[Johto]] season.

As Ash's first and longest [[rival]], his relationship and rivalry with Ash would prove to play a pivotal role on the latter's outlook as a Trainer. Despite his low opinion of Ash, Gary would make a point to show off his superiority in every way he could during his earlier appearances. The duo's dynamic would see a major change once Gary was abruptly eliminated in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], with Gary growing humble and ceasing his arrogance and antagonistic attitude towards Ash, though he would still tease him at times. By the time of the [[Silver Conference]], Ash and Gary would have a more amiable relationship with one another while still maintaining a sense of rivalry. After his defeat against Ash, Gary would graciously accept his defeat and gave him his half of the {{i|Poké Ball}}, symbolizing the end of their rivalry and the renewal of their friendship. Even after ending his rivalry with Ash, Gary would continue to have an impact on Ash and his journey moving forward, continuing to serve as a motivation towards him while at times lending him a helping hand.

[[File:Gary petting Umbreon.png|220px|thumb|Gary petting his Umbreon]]

====Pokémon====
Since the very start of his own journey, Gary has shown exceptional skill as a Pokémon Trainer, catching and training an astonishing number and variety of strong Pokémon in a short period of time and losing battles very infrequently. Despite the huge amount of Pokémon he owns, Gary takes very good care of them all, as noticed by {{an|Brock}} and {{Tracey}} when they first saw his {{TP|Gary|Eevee}}. As revealed by himself in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary often rotated the Pokémon in his party to suit the needs of the battles he would participate in. During his journey in Johto, Gary however was seen training and focusing only on specific members of his team such as {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}.

In ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish!]]'', Gary chose to leave his Pokémon with his grandfather with the exception of {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, but over time he recruited some of his old Pokémon to help with various tasks and research.

As of ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary had captured more than 200 Pokémon from 60 different species. As Gary traveled to other regions like [[Sinnoh]] or [[Galar]] in his work as a Researcher, he added a few new Pokémon from different regions to his team, such as {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} and {{p|Hatterene}}. Unlike before, these Pokémon served specific purposes in his Pokémon journey and were no longer random captures.

Gary's current party is made up of Pokémon that he has used in Trial Missions for [[Project Mew]]. This listing is for Gary's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

==Trivia==
* Gary is one of the few characters from the [[original series]], who appeared during both [[dub]]s of the {{pkmn|anime}}, to have his English dub voice remain unchanged; he is always voiced by [[Carter Cathcart]].
* Gary is one of the few characters to have a surname in the Japanese version of the anime.
** Furthermore, Gary is the only rival in the anime to have a surname.
* In the original series, Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}. In his ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' appearances, Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In his appearance in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Interestingly, the cape he adorns in [[OK!]], its equivalent [[Pokémon Johto]] and in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' resembles the one worn by his cross-canon manga counterpart {{adv|Blue}} in the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of each of the special Pokémon that can appear on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} via [[dual-slot mode]], [[Mass outbreak|swarming]], or the [[Poké Radar]] ({{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and {{p|Dodrio}}).
* In {{OBP|Pokémon Stickers series 1|Artbox}}, a sticker depicting Gary identified him as "'''Bailey'''". The same error occurred in the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. The occurrence of the same error in two apparently unrelated sources might indicate an early-planned name, much like how Ash was initially known as "Casey".
* Although Ash's flashback in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' seems to suggest that Gary and Ash were childhood friends, this is contradicted by Gary's conversation with Ash in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when they first started off on their Pokémon journeys; it indicated that was the first time they met.
** This is further contradicted in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'', where Ash and Gary interacted with each other mere days before they set out on their journeys, with the two already knowing each other for sometime beforehand based on their exchange.
*** It is to be noted that Gary's exchange with Ash in ''Pokémon - I Choose You!'' was a mistranslation. In the Japanese version of the episode, Gary instead makes comments to Ash that indicate he knew him beforehand, such as 「{{tt|痛いのはこっちだ！ん…！？お前はサトシだな！はいはいサ～トシさんだよ。サトシ君は最初から遅刻かい？|"Itai no wa kotchi da!n…!? omae wa satoshi da na! hai hai sa Toshi san da yo. Satoshi kun wa saisho kara chikoku kai?"}}」("Hey, that's my line! Huh? Well if it isn't Satoshi! Yeah, I remember you. It's Mr. Sa~toshi himself! So you got a late start, Lil' Satoshi?") and 「{{tt|“シゲル君”だよ。“君”をつけてくれよ。しかし今日遅刻するようじゃ。ボクのライバルとしてすでにキミは初めからコケってる|"Shigeru kun da yo. kimi o tsuketekure yo. shikashi kyō chikokusuru yō ja. boku no raibaru toshite sudeni kimi wa hajime kara koketteru"}}」("That's 'no, sir' to you. Don't forget the 'sir' at the end there. But it looks like you're already running late. Ugh, to think my rival's getting off to such a pitiful start").
* Gary is the only character from Ash's fantasy sequence in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' to not be one of his traveling companions at the time.
* Gary is the only character whose game counterpart is a {{pkmn|Champion}}, but hasn't been a Champion at any point in the anime.
* Excluding Ash, Gary is the only character to have participated in more than one on-screen {{pkmn|League Conference}}.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', aside from his being {{an|Professor Oak}}'s grandson, he is also the grandnephew of [[Pallet Town]]'s mayor. It also explains that his girlfriends are the mayor's electoral staff.
* Gary is the first rival to capture a [[Legendary Pokémon]] on-screen, his {{p|Regidrago}}.

[[File:Gizmo Bilt.png|thumb|250px|Gizmo Bilt]]
'''Gizmo''' (Japanese: '''ヤバシ''' ''Yabashi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[JN078|Detective Drizzile!]]''. His full name is '''Gizmo Bilt''' (Japanese: '''ヤバ・ヤバシ''' ''Yabashi Yaba'').

==In the anime==
Gizmo had his {{p|Kecleon}} infiltrate [[Cerise Laboratory]] so that he could delete all the data that {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] had collected during their adventures. Despite [[Professor Cerise]] taking precautions to stop it from happening again, Gizmo was able to find out the codes to unlock the data with the help of Kecleon.

One night, Goh spotted what was going on with the help of his {{p|Drizzile}} and was able to corner Kecleon before Gizmo revealed himself. Kecleon was defeated when Drizzile [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}}. Gizmo attempted to flee to Kecleon, only to be stopped by Inteleon's {{m|Snipe Shot}}. When Professor Cerise arrived, Gizmo was excited to see him. Ash and Goh were shocked to see that Gizmo was just a fanboy who had just wanted to get the professor's attention. Upon learning that the data wasn't permanently lost, Professor Cerise gave Gizmo the autograph he had desired.

'''Rinto''' (Japanese: '''リント''' ''Rinto'') is a recurring character who appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash and Rinto.png|thumb|left|250px|Rinto and Ash]]
Rinto first appeared in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]''. He was first seen at [[Rock Tunnel]], watching the [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} between {{Ash}} and [[Dozer]]. After seeing {{AP|Farfetch'd}} run off after defeating Dozer's {{p|Gurdurr}}, Rinto spoke to Ash about Farfetch'd's huge potential. He then had a battle against Ash and Farfetch'd using his {{p|Gallade}} and won with just one move. Before he left, Rinto talked about the lack of synchrony between Ash and Farfetch'd and that he would like to battle Ash again when they became more in sync.

Rinto reappeared in ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', where Ash re-encountered him at the [[Vermilion City]] [[Pokémon Center]] and learned that he was also a World Coronation Series participant. He had only recently entered the competition when they first met and was in the Normal Class at the time, hence why Ash was unable to get an official battle notification back then. Now, however, he was in the Great Class like Ash, meaning they could have an official match. When Ash told Rinto about his and Farfetch'd's [[JN056|training]] with [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Castle of Chivalry]], Rinto revealed that he and Gallade had also trained there in the past.

Ash and Rinto chose to conduct their official [[rematch]] with the same Pokémon they used in their previous battle. During the match, Gallade sliced Farfetch'd's leek in two, but Ash improvised by having Farfetch'd mimic Wikstrom's {{p|Aegislash}} and use the remaining part of the leek as a shield. With this strategy, Farfetch'd was able to land several [[critical hit]]s on Gallade and [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{AP|Sirfetch'd}} as a result. Rinto intentionally let Gallade take a hit from Sirfetch'd's {{m|Night Slash}} in order to activate Gallade's [[Ability]], {{a|Justified}}. However, despite the power boost provided by this Ability, Gallade was still defeated. Afterward, Rinto admitted his defeat and that he too still had a lot to learn.

===Character===
Rinto is very observant and analytical, analyzing Ash's Farfetch'd and his battling style. Despite respecting other Trainers, Rinto acted with a certain amount of sarcasm towards Ash in his relationship with his Pokémon, such as ignoring Ash's presence and talking only to his opponent's Farfetch'd.

Gallade reappeared in ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]''. He was used in a World Coronation Series match against Ash and his Farfetch'd, who ended up evolving mid-battle and defeating Gallade this time around.

Regina

ChaotixFox: /* Voice actors */

[[File:Regina.png|thumb|250px|Regina]]
[[File:Young Regina and Glaceon.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Regina]]
'''Regina''' (Japanese: '''レジーナ''' ''Regina'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[JN087|Breaking the Ice!]]''.

Regina first appeared on an airplane heading to [[Kanto]], where she was temporarily enrolled in the [[Vermilion City school]]. [[Chloe]] briefly saw her and her {{p|Glaceon}}, nicknamed Mirche, on her way to school and when Regina was introduced to the class, Chloe volunteered to show her around the school. When her new classmates started asking her questions, Mirche came to her rescue by freezing her classmates with {{m|Blizzard}}. This caused Regina to remember what happened at her old school where Mirche did the same after her classmates bullied her.

Regina kept her distance from her classmates and overheard her parents talking about Mirche. After Mirche was sent out, only to collapse, {{Ash}}, [[Goh]], and Chloe took her to [[Cerise Laboratory]] where [[Professor Cerise]] examined her. Shortly after, her parents arrived and they had a talk. Returning to the school, Regina and Mirche created an ice castle and ice rink in the grounds for her fellow classmates to play on.

Regina returned home, and later sent Chloe a package containing a snow globe and a letter. Regina was seen battling a {{p|Victreebel}} with Mirche and winning the match.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Regina and Mirche reappeared in a fantasy.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Regina's known Pokémon:

|desc={{p|Glaceon|Mirche}} (Japanese: '''ミーチェ''' ''Micie'') is Regina's only known Pokémon. Mirche is very protective of Regina, using Blizzard on Regina's classmates if they were bullying her or asking her lots of questions. Later, Mirche helped create an ice castle and ice rink on the grounds of the [[Vermilion City school]] for the students to play on. Sometime later, Mirche was shown battling a {{p|Victreebel}} and winning.

'''Amethio''' (Japanese: '''アメジオ''' ''Amethio'') is one of the admins of the [[Explorers]], and a recurring major antagonist in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. After witnessing the efforts of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to protect [[Liko]], Amethio decided to discover the secrets that Liko's pendant hides at all costs.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Amethio HZ001.png|250px|thumb|left|Amethio ready to partake in battle against Friede]]
Amethio debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One]]''. He was first seen entering the [[Indigo Academy]] while searching for [[Liko]]. When they met, he introduced himself as an associate of [[Diana (Horizons)|her grandmother]], and requested Liko's pendant. Liko, distrusting him, attempted to escape but got caught up in a battle against Amethio's teammate [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. He caught up with her on the roof of the academy, only for [[Friede]] to appear on the back of his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and interfere, clashing with his {{p|Ceruledge}}.

Amethio witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held and, in [[HZ002|the following episode]], led the rest of his group on an aerial chase for Friede and Liko back to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s airship. After breaking through the ship's forcefield, Amethio threatened Liko to come with them, and she nearly complied, but they were stopped by Friede and [[Captain Pikachu]]. They resumed the battle from earlier, but Friede chose his Pikachu this time, which Amethio saw as a taunt. Once more, their battle ended without a winner, as Liko interrupted the battle. Her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} then unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, but was blown overboard in the process. Seeing this as a chance to gain leverage over the situation, Amethio captured Sprigatito and fled with his teammates.

In [[HZ003|the following episode]], Amethio assigned Zirc to spy on [[Brave Olivine]] and Onia to look after Sprigatito. When his group was found by the Rising Volt Taclkers, Amethio had another battle with Friede, which ended when Liko managed to rescue her Pokémon. [[HZ004|Some time later]], Amethio decided to report to [[Hamber]] on the progress of his mission, after which he decided to take responsibility for discovering the pendant's secrets.

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

In [[HZ021]], Amethio, Onia and Zirc arrived in the [[Galar]] region in order to investigate the [[Galar Mine]]. In the [[HZ022|following episode]], they entered the mine and split up, with Amethio engaging Friede in battle while Onia and Zirc confronted Liko and Roy. However, a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that once traveled with [[Lucius]] began rampaging, interrupting Amethio and Friede's battle. After retreating in the [[HZ023|next episode]], Amethio decided to get the {{an|Terapagos|Pokémon}} that was in Liko's pendant.

In [[HZ024]], Amethio, Zirc and Onia reported his findings to Hamber. Right after, they followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to an [[Old Castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. Once they found them, Amethio and his teammates surrounded them in order to take the mysterious Pokémon away. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Amethio battled Friede once again. During the battle, Amethio had the upper hand on Friede, until he [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized]] his Charizard into an {{type|Dark}}, which led him to losing the battle.

In [[HZ026]], Amethio mostly kept to himself, still upset over his defeat, his Ceruledge approached him to see if he was alright but Amethio had few words to say. In the [[HZ027|next episode]], Amethio met up with the rest of the Explorers Admins and suggested following Rayquaza which would eventually lead them to Lucius's other Pokémon and getting closer to Terapagos as a result. The other Admins then agreed with his suggestion.

===Character===
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|thumb|250px|Amethio and Friede]]
Amethio is a formal person who does not show much emotion in many situations. However, his politeness is a front he uses to manipulate others into giving him what he wants. Amethio would take the first initiative to decide whether a battle is necessary. Instead of having [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], he would be the one to battle, taking responsibility of the situation.

He is a strong {{pkmn|Trainer}} and appears to have sparked somewhat of a rivalry with [[Friede]], even suggesting to resume a battle they dropped off earlier in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part Two]]''. He also doesn't take lightly to being underestimated, expressing his irritation when Friede chose his [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] over his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} or when Friede is distracted during their battles.

Despite his forceful means, Amethio seems to not want to use unnecessary violence to attain his goals, such as when he flinched when his {{p|Ceruledge}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}} missed and caused an explosion on Brave Asagi, as well as saving {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling. He also did not have any ill intent towards Sprigatito while it was his hostage, allowing Onia to deal with it her own way.

'''Dot''' (Japanese: '''ドット''' ''Dot'') is a supporting character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is a skilled programmer and a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Online, she is known as '''Nidothing''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみん''' ''Gurumin''), a popular streamer that makes videos on various topics of the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Dot is a computer genius that was responsible for [[Brave Olivine]]'s technology system and created the [[Pokédex]] system used by members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], as she joined the group with her uncle [[Murdock]] looking after her. Dot also befriended a {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that lived on the Brave Olivine.

Prior to [[HZ015]], before becoming a popular content creator, Dot was a fan of [[Iono]]. Eventually, she formed a friendship with her and was inspired into becoming who she is currently, Nidothing. Dot refers her as (Japanese: '''ナンジャモお姉さん''' ''Big sister Nanjyamo''). After becoming Nidothing, Dot's video channel on the internet became a hit among Trainers.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Nidothing without costume.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot briefly seen without her costume]]
Dot first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One]]'', taking part in several videos alongside Quaxly in her Nidothing costume.

She debuted as herself in [[HZ007]], where it was revealed she was part of the Rising Volt Tacklers as well as [[Murdock]]'s niece. [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] went to Dot's room hoping to gather information on the {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}'s whereabouts, only to receive a drawing of Roy losing a battle. Later, after seeing Liko and Roy's dedication to becoming better Trainers, Dot gave them another drawing indicating that Rayquaza was in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

In the following [[HZ008|episode]], after not responding to Liko's offer for her share of the food, Liko heard Nidothing's video theme and asked if she also liked to watch Nidothing's livestreams. Liko attempted to invite Dot to watch the livestream together, but was caught off guard upon hearing Dot abruptly shouting about something, leaving the former confused as to why she didn't want to watch the livestream with her despite listening to her theme song. Liko told her how much she admires Nidothing, how knowledgeable she was about Pokémon, and how fun it was to watch her. Afterwards, while Liko was watching her video in real time, Dot read her comment, which made Liko happy that someone she admired was reading her comment. The comment shared a similar description of Dot's personality, making her feel awkward. During the day, Murdock tried to get Dot out of her room by placing a tray of his donuts in a cabinet. Later that night, Dot, having been touched by Liko's kindness, sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed them for herself and Quaxly, making Murdock happy that his plan was successful.
[[File:Dot and Ludlow picnic.png|250px|thumb|Dot and Ludlow having fun on a picnic]]
In [[HZ009]], as soon as Liko arrived in [[Paldea]], Dot began to open up a little more to her. Following [[Ludlow]]'s advice, Dot left an illustration on Liko's bedroom door and when she thanked her, Dot said on the other side that she would wait for her. Accidentally, Liko saw Dot doing Nidothing's laundry while on her way to her house to approach {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} again. However, in [[HZ011]], while Dot was trying to tell Liko the truth, Liko revealed that she just thought that Dot was just a Nidothing fan, leaving Liko without actually knowing the Nidothing's real identity.

In [[HZ013]], as Dot was in progress of making a new video about [[Picnic|picnics]], she didn't have any idea on what to talk about, as she'd never been in a picnic before. After receiving a message from Liko, that she could make her own sandwich in the meeting room, causing Dot's stomach to growl. She decided to leave her room and to her surprise, she found table of [[sandwich]] [[ingredient]]s that she could use, though she didn't know how to make one. Ludlow explained to Dot that Liko wanted to share fun experiences with her to help build a better friendship. Considering Ludlow's words and with the help of her fellow members, she was able to create a video about picnicking. Afterwards, as a thanks, Dot sent Liko a message of her wearing her Nidothing costume alongside with Quaxly and Ludlow but once again Liko failed to make the connection. Ludlow and [[Friede]] decided to let Dot be the one to decide when to actually explain the truth to Liko.
[[File:Dot and Iono.png|thumb|left|250px|Dot and Iono interacting with each other]]
In [[HZ015]], Dot was tasked to find information on the whereabouts to where Liko is located. Initially, Dot informed the Rising Volt Tacklers that Liko had been seen in [[Artazon]]. Unfortunately, they were unable to find her, due to getting tricked by false information. Urgently Dot contacted [[Iono]] for help and, using her live show to her advantage, she started to find Liko: Iono unexpectedly started a game of tag to search for the girl, which Dot was not expecting that to happen, disconnecting as the live show was still continuing. As the Rising Volt Tacklers were leaving, she requested Friede to bring her to [[Levincia]] as well. After landing in town, Roy was the first to see her in person, acknowledging her as Dot, seeing how friendly Quaxly was towards her. Using the information from participants of the game started by Iono, Dot and Roy were able to find Liko. Though, when first meeting face to face, Liko didn't know who Dot was, not until she introduced herself, leaving Liko surprised. Iono arrived to find both Roy and Liko on top of the building, as Dot leaves and hid to play the role of Nidothing. After all that, it left Dot exhausted from being outside.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean Starters.png|250px|thumb|Dot and her friends battling the Explorers]]
In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Dot caught Quaxly as her first Pokémon and partner. Dot went with Liko and Roy to look around Levincia to find the pendant until the ancient {{i|Poké Ball}} that holds {{p|Arboliva}} led them to where [[Spinel]] was. After finding Spinel's location, Dot participated in her first official Pokémon battle with her friends. Once Liko recovered the pendant, Dot and her friends made their escape through Arboliva. Later, through Quaxly's encouragement, Dot revealed to Liko that she was Nidothing, much to her shock.

In [[HZ018]], Dot and her friends got curious as to how [[Captain Pikachu]] was able to fly during his battle against Roy in the [[HZ017|previous episode]]. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Dot and her friends refused to give up as they decided to ask the rest of the members, but could't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Dot and her friends curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. They all decided to ask Friede for answers, as they were able to convince him into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In [[HZ027]], a series of information that Dot collected led her to arrange a meeting with someone in the [[Wild Area]] in [[Galar]]. When she got there, she discovered that it was false information, despite this, Liko and the other Rising Volt Tacklers decided to camp there and prepare [[curry]]. Trying to get Dot in at all times, Liko managed to convince her to participate in the preparation of the food. At the end of the day, Dot thanked Liko for doing this.

===Character===
[[File:Dot eyes.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot with her hair up]]
As an influencer and a video distributor, it is Nidothing's job to entertain young aspiring Trainers. Within the videos, she is seen as perky, using exaggerated teaching methods, and giving a beginner's guide to Trainers interested in starting their own {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after becoming a Pokémon Trainer herself in [[HZ016]], Dot got a taste of Pokémon battles, which she found enjoyable. Dot also uses the experiences she gained from being a Trainer as inspiration for her videos, as seen in [[HZ026]], when she attempted to make a video about [[Multi Battle]], but was interrupted by {{an|Terapagos}}, although she did finish making the video in the [[HZ027|next episode]].
[[File:Roy Liko Dot.png|250px|thumb|Dot and her friends]]
Outside of being a streamer, Dot seems to be reclusive and spends most of her time behind doors creating videos, and is rarely seen by the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members. Rather than having herself talk to [[Roy]] and [[Liko]], she used {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} as a messenger to communicate with them. Due to her shyness, having lunch with the other members is bothersome to her. However, after being touched by Liko's kindness, Dot opens up a bit, as seen in [[HZ008]] when she sneaked out of her room to grab the donuts [[Murdock]] made for her and Quaxly. This was shown again in the [[HZ009|next episode]], where Dot took [[Ludlow]] advice to the heart, as she realized that she and Liko do have some similarities, even leaving a drawing for her at her room. Dot also grew to consider Liko a friend, as seen in [[HZ013]], when she was surprised that she wanted to share experiences with her by giving her and Ludlow their own picnic to enjoy on the [[Brave Olivine]]. In addition, Dot went out of her way to look for Liko when she went missing in [[HZ015]], as she left her room and the Brave Olivine to find her.

Dot tends to get easily nervous or anxious on a tight schedule, or frustrated when she sees a comment on one of her videos she doesn't like. Dot is also shown to grow increasingly afraid and conflicted about any of her fans finding out that she's Nidothing. However, Dot does show guilt for her unwelcoming attitude towards others, deciding to read Liko's comment as Nidothing during said livestream to make up for turning her down. Despite not wanting others to know the truth, Dot does bring herself to make an attempt to confess to Liko that she is Nidothing after gradually warming up to her, as seen in [[HZ011]]. However, after being encouraged by Quaxly, Dot fully tells Liko the truth about being Nidothing in [[HZ016]]. Dot dislikes being misled, as seen in [[HZ015]], when she found out that the information she got about Liko's whereabouts were false. This was shown again in [[HZ027]], when she got misled in getting information about the {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}.

At first, Dot found Roy annoying, but was intrigued that he had a rare {{i|Poké Ball}} that had a Black Rayquaza inside it. However, after teaming up with him in looking for Liko and battling against the [[Explorers]], Dot warmed up to Roy and came to see him as a friend. Dot also watched Roy's second battle against [[Friede]] in [[HZ017]]. Although she still spends most of her time in her room, Dot seems to be more open in leaving it and interacting with others. Dot also seems to be comfortable in letting Liko and Roy in her room. In addition, Dot seems to be interacting with the rest of her teammates and Murdock a little bit more, as she is starting to open up to them.

As Nidothing, she always starts her videos or livestreams with the catchphrase, (Japanese: '''よぉーっす！''' ''Yoo-su!''). It's a combination of the common English slang "yo" and part of {{p|Quaxly}}'s Japanese name.

She appears to be tomboyish in appearance. In Japanese, she uses the {{wp|Japanese pronouns|first-person personal pronoun}} {{tt|僕|ぼく}} ''boku'', a pronoun which is primarily used by males; when used by females, it is associated with tomboys.

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド•ユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Okido'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] and a major supporting character of the [[Pokémon anime]] who lives and works at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] in [[Pallet Town]]. He appears semi-regularly to give [[Ash Ketchum]] advice to help him achieve his goal of becoming the greatest [[Pokémon Master]].

Additionally to his role in the anime, he also appears in [[bonus segment]]s exclusive to the Japanese versions where he hosts various informative lectures: [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|Pokémon Lecture]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia|Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination|Big Pokémon Examination]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster|Pokémon Live Caster]], and [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster|Pokémon Holo Caster]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
In ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]'', Professor Oak mentioned that his childhood nickname was "Flying Finger Sammy" because he was particularly good at playing video games.

At some point, Oak was a lecturer at [[Celadon University]], where [[Foster]] was one of his top students. In [[Professor Elm]]'s [[EP117|debut]], he mentioned that he was one of Oak's top performing students at the university. In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it was revealed that Oak also taught [[Spencer Hale]] and {{Ash}}'s mother {{Delia}}.

In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'' Professor Oak mentioned that, he decided to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] after seeing the fossil of an {{p|Omanyte}} shell during a museum visit.

[[JN001|Four years before the start of the series]], Professor Oak hosted a Pokémon Summer Camp, where he lectured the many attendees including [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]] about Pokémon. After hearing about Goh and Chloe's encounter with an unknown Pokémon, Oak told them the Pokémon they saw was most likely the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}, inspiring Goh to catch Mew one day. Some time later, he would host another camp which was attended by Ash and {{an|Serena}}.

=====[[Original series]]=====
Professor Oak debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', appearing on a late night television show explaining the three [[starter Pokémon]] that [[Pokémon Trainer]]s would receive. The next day, three Trainers from [[Pallet Town]], including his grandson, [[Gary Oak]], came to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]], ready to become Pokémon Trainers. Oak gave them each a starter Pokémon, including giving Gary his {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}}, though this wasn't revealed [[EP269|until much later]] in the series. Later that same day, Ash came to him as he was also starting his [[Pokémon journey]] and needed his first Pokémon. But because he was so late, the only Pokémon that Oak had left was a rebellious {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'', Oak called the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]] after hearing that Ash had already made it there from his mother. He stated how he was surprised that he had made it that far, and expressed doubts he had when Ash first left. Mentioning making a bet of a million dollars with Gary that Ash hadn't captured any new Pokémon, he was disappointed to hear that this was indeed true and he had lost the bet with his grandson. When Ash told him that he had seen an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}}, which resembled the {{p|Articuno|stone carving above him}}, he waved it away as nonsense, saying that Trainers have searched their whole lives for that Pokémon, and none have succeeded.
[[File:Gary and Oak.png|thumb|220px|Professor Oak and his grandson]]
Over the course of Ash and Gary's journeys, Professor Oak took care of the Pokémon they captured that were sent to his lab. He would often gloat about how much farther ahead his grandson was to Ash like in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', which often caused Ash to be extra competitive. During the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], Oak became greatly disappointed when he discovered that Gary had lost in the third round, but decided to look on the bright side, telling {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} that it would do Gary good to see "every road has a few bumps along the way." He had arrived with Ash's mother with the goal of cheering Ash on in mind.

Following the Indigo Plateau Conference, Professor Oak asked Ash to pick up a [[GS Ball|mysterious Poké Ball]] from his friend, [[Professor Ivy]], who lives on [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. He wasn't at all surprised when Ash called him asking if he could compete in the [[Orange League]]. Though he wanted to study the GS Ball, he also wanted Ash to compete in the league so that he can get more training. During Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, he befriended a [[Pokémon Watcher]] by the name of [[Tracey Sketchit]] who was a great admirer of Professor Oak. When the group returned to Pallet Town in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Tracey asked if he could become his assistant, which Oak graciously accepted.

Not being able to discover the mystery behind the GS Ball, Professor Oak called for Ash's assistance once more and asked him to travel to the [[Johto]] region and give the Ball to his friend [[Kurt]]. He also explained that there were many new Pokémon out west which made Ash all the more eager to go and catch up with his rival, Gary. Ash completed this task in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', leaving the GS Ball in Kurt's possession for further study.

In ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]'', Oak and his friend [[DJ Mary]] announced they were going to broadcast a live show in [[Maroon Town]]. {{TRT}} got wind of this and disguised themselves as Oak and Mary. With the help of [[Nurse Joy]], a quiz show determined who was the real Oak and Mary.

In ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', Professor Oak and Delia traveled to [[New Bark Town]] to catch up with [[Professor Elm]], and also to see Ash before the upcoming [[Silver Conference]]. The trio's dinner plans were interrupted after a nearby [[Pokémon Center]] alerted them to an issue with Ash's newly hatched {{AP|Larvitar}}. Oak and Elm were then able to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature.

Professor Oak, along with Delia, traveled to {{jo|Silver Town}} to watch Ash and his grandson Gary compete in the Silver League Conference, from ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'' to ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''.

After learning Ash was traveling to the [[Hoenn]] region, Professor Oak gave him an updated [[Pokédex]] and wished him the best of luck.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School]]'', Oak was lecturing the students of {{ci|Rustboro}}'s [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] via satellite.

Oak traveled to [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' to meet with [[Professor Birch]] for the first time and brought along the Kanto starter Pokémon as they interacted with the Hoenn starters. [[Max]] was particularly excited to meet his idol in person, but the meeting was interrupted when {{TRT}} kidnapped both the Hoenn and Kanto starters. Oak, {{an|May}}, and Max followed Team Rocket to their cave headquarters and later worked together to escape the facility with the starter Pokémon.

In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', Professor Oak noticed that one of his {{TP|May|Squirtle}} felt most comfortable being with May, and offered it for her to raise into a strong Pokémon. He also agreed to look after her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} after seeing that it was interested in learning from Ash's own {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', when Ash was still recovering from his defeat at the [[Battle Pyramid]], Professor Oak brought him a special package meant to cheer him up, containing a poster with the [[Footprint|prints]] of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, a [[Misty's special lure|fishing lure]] from {{an|Misty}}, and food from {{Delia|his mother}}. He also handed Ash a postcard from {{Gary}} and told him that his grandson was doing research in the [[Sinnoh]] region and that many {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|Pokémon who live there}} cannot be found anywhere else. Later, he was asked to judge the impromptu [[Contest Battle]] between May and [[Drew]]. Along with [[Scott]], he judged their battle, which ended in a victory for Drew after his {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} and {{p|Butterfree}} [[Fainting|knocked out]] [[May's Combusken]] and {{TP|May|Skitty}}.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
[[File:Professor Oak DP anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Oak in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'']]
Ash spoke to Professor Oak regularly over the phone while he traveled through the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. {{an|Dawn}} was able to recognize him from [[television]], but it was because of his Pokémon poetry and not his research.

In ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', Oak suggested that Ash and {{ashfr}} should visit the [[Old Chateau]] to sample its famous delicacy, the [[Old Gateau]].

[[File:Professor Oak Twinleaf Festival.png|thumb|220px|Professor Oak in the Twinleaf Festival]]
In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Ash called Professor Oak while staying at [[Johanna]]'s house and said he would be {{pkmn|training}} in [[Twinleaf Town]] for a while. Oak told him to use this opportunity to learn from Johanna, as her experience as a [[Top Coordinator]] could be helpful to him. Oak also announced that he would be attending the [[Twinleaf Festival]] as a special guest.

In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', he traveled to Sinnoh to give a lecture on "the interrelation of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[Evolution stone]]s" on the first day of the Twinleaf Festival. However, on his way to Twinleaf Town, his car got a flat tire and forced him to make a stop near a marshland. While the driver was replacing the tire, Oak decided to explore the area. He found a group of [[wild Pokémon]] who led him to a [[cave]] where a depressed {{p|Lombre}} was hiding. Oak found out why Lombre was so sad and gave it a [[Water Stone]], allowing it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Ludicolo}} and immediately taking it out of its depressed state.

Meanwhile, in Twinleaf, [[James]] was in the town's auditorium disguised as Oak plotting to steal all of the attendees' Pokémon. When Oak arrived there, everyone in the auditorium looked confused as James insisted he was the real Professor Oak. Seeing this, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the audience sent out his {{p|Tyranitar}} and asked for help, saying he was having trouble with the {{pkmn|category|Armor Pokémon}}. James failed to figure out what was the cause of the problem and was sent blasting off by Tyranitar, but Oak was able to help the Pokémon by removing a thorn from its foot. After that, Professor Oak proceeded to give his lecture.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Professor Oak BW anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Oak in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Professor Oak was given a major redesign in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', using a different shirt collar style and wearing his lab coat above it. His hairstyle also changed, becoming more boxy. These changes make his look closely resemble his most recent [[Professor Oak|game counterpart]] artwork.

Oak made plans to travel to the [[Unova]] region to meet with his friend, [[Professor Juniper]], in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and invited {{Delia}} and {{Ash}} to go with him. He had since returned to Kanto as seen in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'', where Ash called his laboratory from [[Nimbasa City]].

In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Ash called Professor Oak to inform about his loss at the [[Vertress Conference]]. In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', the Professor appeared again in a video lecture about the Kanto starter Pokémon that was presented at the [[Kanto Fair]], accompanied by Tracey. Later, [[Ash's Charizard]] came to his lab from the [[Charicific Valley]] so Ash would switch him for his {{AP|Unfezant}}. Oak liked the idea of Unfezant being with him, as she could make good friends with [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}.

In ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'', he appeared in the [[Decolore Islands]], having traveled to [[Torom Island]]. Professor Oak wished to capture a {{p|Rotom}} to study, and eventually succeeded after helping Ash and {{ashfr}} defeat {{TRT}}.

As seen in ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', Professor Juniper sent Ash's Pokémon caught in Unova to Oak's laboratory. Ash contacted Oak to send {{AP|Leavanny}} to him in order to help a Caterpie evolve.

In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' Professor Oak was interviewed by [[Alexa]], a reporter from the [[Kalos]] region which gave him a chance to see Pokémon from there much to his delight. He was later present when Ash announced his intention to return with Alexa to Kalos to challenge its league. As usual, Professor Oak was entrusted with the care of the Pokémon Ash had caught in Unova, as well as Charizard who would be remaining at the lab permanently from then on.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Professor Oak was introduced to {{AP|Froakie}} before being shocked by Rotom.

He was later mentioned in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', where it was revealed that Ash and {{an|Serena}} both attended his Pokémon Summer Camp during their childhood.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', he joined in on a video call with Delia to Ash and his friends, where he learned Ash was going to return to Pallet Town later that day.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''=====
[[File:Professor Oak SM anime.png|thumb|250px|Professor Oak in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'']]
After winning a trip to the [[Alola]] region, Delia and Ash headed to Professor Oak's lab, where he received Ash's on-hand Pokémon and took the opportunity to entrust Delia with a [[Pokémon Egg]]. He asked her to deliver the Egg to his cousin [[Samson Oak]], at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]].

After meeting up with Delia in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', Samson made a video call to Professor Oak and notified him the Egg arrived safely. Professor Oak did not tell Ash what Pokémon it was, so only after hatching in ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'' was it revealed to be a {{p|Vulpix}}, which Samson kept.
[[File:Samson and Samuel Oak.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Oak and his cousin Samson Oak]]
In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Ash, {{ashcl}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}}, who were all visiting Kanto, arrived at his lab to examine the differences between Kantonian and Alolan Pokémon. He appeared briefly in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'' to see Kukui and his students fly back to the Alola region.

Professor Oak appeared on television in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''.

In ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', Ash made contact with him after discovering a group of {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}}. {{Rotom}} sent through its gathered data for Oak to examine. In the [[SM112|following episode]], Professor Oak informed Ash that he had identified the mysterious Pokémon as an entirely new species, and he settled on the name "{{p|Meltan}}", the Hex Nut Pokémon and gave it a {{type|Steel}} classification.

In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Oak and Delia arrived at [[Manalo Stadium]] to watch Ash's {{pkmn|battle}} during the [[Manalo Conference]] finals. Upon arriving, he met Ash's {{p|Meltan}} for the first time, then watched as it combined with the other Meltan to evolve into {{AP|Melmetal}}. He was happy to witness Ash win the Malano Conference in [[SM139|the next episode]]. During the attack by the {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} in ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Oak was among the people that were being evacuated until another {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} appeared, blocking the ships.

After the crisis had been resolved, Oak remained at Manalo Stadium to watch Ash and Professor Kukui's {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}. Following Ash's win, he and Delia returned to Pallet Town.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Professor Oak JN anime.png|thumb|250px|Professor Oak in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', Professor Oak traveled to [[Vermilion City]] to assist in the opening of [[Cerise Laboratory]] and invited Ash to join him and attend the ceremony. He was later present when Ash and Goh recounted their encounter with {{p|Lugia}}. After Ash was appointed as one of [[Professor Cerise]]'s [[Professors' aides|research fellows]], he and Delia returned to Pallet Town.

In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Professor Oak met Ash and Goh as they visited his laboratory. He was impressed by the number of Pokémon Goh had caught, especially his {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and told him about [[Project Mew]], recommending that he should join it. Goh was reluctant at first, but after meeting Gary and seeing how experienced he was, he changed his mind and decided to follow Professor Oak's recommendation.

He reappeared in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'' as Ash and Goh visited his laboratory again. During the visit, he watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]], as well as telling Ash and Goh that Paul had come to visit his laboratory due to Paul having been asked to become a [[Gym Leader]] and wanting to learn more about Pokémon.

In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Professor Oak was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} alongside Delia, Tracey, and Ash's Pokémon. From ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'' to ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', they watched Ash's match against {{an|Cynthia}}.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', they watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. Before the battle began, Professor Oak delivered a monologue about how proud he was of Ash. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', they watched the awards ceremony taking place after Ash’s victory.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Professor Oak greets Ash as he returns to Pallet Town to congratulate him on his victory against Leon. In the [[JN136|following episode]], Professor Oak attends a party taking place at Cerise Laboratory. Sometime later, he is seen being introduced to [[Horace]] by Gary.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Ash visits Professor Oak to see the starter Pokémon that he’s giving away, only to learn that there was a {{p|Charmander}} missing. When Ash and Gary find Charmander, Professor Oak resumes his check-up on the starter Pokémon.

====Character====
Professor Oak lives up the road from [[Delia Ketchum]] and {{Ash|her son}}, and he and Delia often appear together as good friends. His known relatives are his grandson {{Gary}} and his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. He is also good friends with Professors Birch and Juniper.

His often-forgetful attitude and other antics are notorious. He also has a hobby of composing [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|senryū]], haiku-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes.

In the novelizations written by [[Takeshi Shudō]], Professor Oak comes from a prestigious family. He has two brothers, one of whom is the mayor of Pallet Town while the other is its postmaster, and his grandfather was the first Trainer from Pallet Town to receive widespread recognition, while Samuel himself gained prominence after he published a research paper on Pokémon at the age of 20. It is also stated that he became a professor at [[Celadon University]] at the age of 25. According to Professor Elm, Professor Oak's studies and research mostly focus on how humans and Pokémon interact with each other.

|desc={{p|Bulbasaur}} is a Pokémon that Professor Oak gives to new Trainers. Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, as one of the three [[Starter Pokémon]] new Trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. {{Ash}} dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', a new Trainer called {{OBP|Gilbert|HS14}} claimed a Bulbasaur. Another one appears in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'', where Oak shows them to [[Max]]. Suddenly, {{TRT}} captures them along with the other Kanto and [[Hoenn]] starters. Max finds them and makes Bulbasaur and {{p|Treecko}} Tackle and {{m|Pound}} the bars away. It then helps send Team Rocket blasting off. Another one appears in ''[[AG133|The Right Place at the Right Mime!]]'' along with the other starters.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', another Bulbasaur was seen performing some medical tests.

Various Bulbasaur's moves are {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}.}}

However, when he arrived at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], he found out it was too late, as another Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', {{OBP|Gilbert|HS14}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through Professor Oak's house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found.

Another one appears in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'', where Oak shows them to [[Max]]. Suddenly, {{TRT}} captures them along with the other Kanto and [[Hoenn]] starters. Max is able to find them and then has {{p|Torchic}} and Charmander heat the cage with Ember until finally they are free. It then helps send Team Rocket blasting off. Another one appears in ''[[AG133|The Right Place at the Right Mime!]]'' along with the other starters.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', a Charmander disappeared moments before performing some medical tests and Ash set out to look for it in the Lab. Ash found it trapped between some rocks and with Gary's help, they managed to rescue it.

Various Charmander's known moves are {{m|Ember}}.}}

However, when he arrived at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], he found out it was too late, as another [[Gary Oak|Trainer]] who started the same day had already taken it.

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', a set of the three Kanto starter Pokémon in which a boy named {{OBP|Gilbert|HS14}} was supposed to choose from as his starting Pokémon were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}}, and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found. The Tiny Turtle Pokémon was stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] managed to catch the Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

Another one appears in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'', where Oak shows them to [[Max]]. Suddenly, {{TRT}} captures them along with the other Kanto and [[Hoenn]] starters. Max finds them and asks {{p|Mudkip}} and Squirtle to cool the bars with Water Gun which eventually frees them. It then helps send Team Rocket blasting off. Another one appears in ''[[AG133|The Right Place at the Right Mime!]]'' along with the other starters, in the end {{an|May}} claims {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', another Squirtle was seen performing some medical tests.

====Past self====
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Sammy Oak.png|thumb|250px|Sam]]
{{main|Sam}}
Oak appeared as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. Ash befriended the young Oak, who, because he [[Time travel|time-traveled]] from 40 years in the past, was around the same age as Ash. The revelation that Sam ''is'' Oak, while inferred thanks to disclosure of Oak's first name in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', comes only at the end of the movie when Oak implicitly confirmed the connection through his knowledge of Sam's name despite Ash having never told him of it. Additionally, Tracey discovered the sketchbook in which young Sam drew Pikachu sleeping with Celebi in Oak's closet.

In the main series, Oak never revealed or discussed {{p|Charmeleon}}, though his past as a Trainer was vaguely mentioned by [[Agatha]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

Despite the fact that Sam saw many {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} throughout the movie (notably the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{p|Celebi}} and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Suicune}}), the [[Pokédex]] he gifts Ash in the Kanto arc only catalogs {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, claiming that they were all the Pokémon that the world knows. This discrepancy is likely no longer canon, instead representing a silent {{wp|retcon}} that occurred due to the ever-increasing number of Pokémon; indeed, Pokémon from [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation IV]] are able to be trained in Kanto during the Generation I remakes FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as during the Generation II remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver. Perhaps to avoid a similar plothole, the number of Pokémon as of the current generation is no longer explicitly mentioned in anime-related media.

===I Choose You!===
Professor Oak appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline separate from the main series. He welcomed {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} when he showed up late at his laboratory and informed him that {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and {{p|Charmander}} had already been chosen by other Trainers. Nonetheless, he had a fourth Pokémon to give to Ash, a stubborn {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}}. Ash chose Pikachu, and as such, Professor Oak gave him its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Pikachu immediately proved to be quite the problem for Ash, as he shocked him and Professor Oak.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Professor Oak EToP.png|thumb|200px|Professor Oak in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Professor Oak made a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] as a role model to {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and as [[Bill]]'s mentor. Unlike in the anime, he did not give Ash his {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}}; in fact, he did not meet Ash until after he has already begun his Pokémon journey.

Ash met Professor Oak for the first time in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'' at [[Mt. Moon]] after Ash had been wandering lost in the mountains for weeks, searching for a rare {{p|Clefairy}}. Oak, who had been living among the Clefairy, rescued Ash and introduced him to Bill and a tribe of wild Clefairy. The three attended the tribe's [[evolution]] ceremony, after which Oak gave Ash the latest upgrade to the [[Pokédex]] for free, months before it would be available to the public.

Ash later encountered Oak again in ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'', where he was investigating strange activity, which turned out to be caused by another group of Clefairy.

Professor Oak acted as one of the announcers of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' and ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]''.

Ash encountered Oak one last time at the Pokémon Research Center in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]'', shortly before he traveled to the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Here, the Professor and Bill were researching a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Slowpoke}} that was found in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

In this canon, Oak first began his Pokémon journey when he was six years old, traveling with his father (who was also a Professor) on research expeditions. During his first journey, he caught a {{p|Charmander}}, which eventually evolved into a {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a {{p|Charizard}}.

Ash saw that a Charmander was there but [[Cross]] came by and took the Charmander as he was the Trainer who picked Charmander. With no other choice, Ash was given a [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)|Pikachu]] from Professor Oak. Pikachu did not become fond of Ash at first as he shocked him and Professor Oak.

'''Keenan''' (Japanese: '''キンヤ''' ''Kin'ya'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden!]]''.

Keenan rushed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} into his home after they mentioned the "golden {{p|Sudowoodo}}" around a group of rowdy patrons. He explained to them that the Sudowoodo was actually his, providing a photograph as proof. Keenan later clarified that Sudowoodo was turned gold as a result of one of his experiments to improve its resistance to {{t|Water}} Pokémon and attacks. The revelation clarified Sudowoodo's particularly shy behavior around Keenan. Still the group offered to help Keenan reunite with Sudowoodo.

{{TRT}} were also after the mysterious golden Sudowoodo. Keenan valiant attempts to protect Sudowoodo against [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] led Sudowoodo to realize Keenan's good heart. Sudowoodo stepped forward and destroyed the mecha with a headbutt before [[Ash's Pikachu]] sent Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, Keenan was able to revert Sudoowoodo back its typical coloration with another experiment.

Keenan later regains Sudowoodo's trust after defending it against {{TRT}} and their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]. Afterwards Keenan performed a reversal experiment, returning Sudowoodo to normal.

ChaotixFox: /* Voice actors */

[[File:Zander.png|thumb|right|250px|Zander]]
'''Zander''' (Japanese: '''ゼンキチ''' ''Zenkichi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]''.

A student of [[Dr. Gordon]]'s, Zander appears to spend most of his time at the doctor's lab. It was there that the young boy met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who he believed were thieves trying to sneak into the lab. When he realized that they were actually heading to [[Saffron City]], he immediately apologized.

Soon afterwards, {{TRT}} broke into the doctor's lab and spilled some of Dr. Gordon's Mystery Candy Complete, which a {{p|Caterpie}} that Zander had been caring for immediately ate. The {{t|Bug}} Pokémon immediately began growing to [[Giant Pokémon|enormous proportions]] before escaping the lab and wreaking havoc in a nearby city.

Suddenly, Team Rocket reappeared and kidnapped Dr. Gordon, fleeing on their giant {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, who had also been fed the Mystery Candy Complete. Caterpie eventually evolved into a Metapod, and again into {{p|Butterfree}}. With the help of Zander and Ash, it saved the doctor from Team Rocket. Afterwards, Butterfree shrunk back down to its normal size. Zander was proud of Butterfree for saving the doctor and vowed to train it and bade farewell to Ash and the others, hoping that he and Ash would meet again someday.

Later, Caterpie defeated {{TRT}} from stealing [[Dr. Gordon]]'s lab blueprints with the help of {{AP|Pikachu}}. Afterwards, Caterpie found and ate one of the doctor's experimental "Mystery Candy Complete", causing it to continually grow and eventually cause destruction to a nearby city. Caterpie stopped its unintended rampage to rest on a city radio tower so it could evolve, eventually into a Butterfree. With its new wings, Butterfree, alongside Zander and Ash, pursued Team Rocket and their giant {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to rescue the kidnapped Dr. Gordon. Shortly afterwards, Butterfree reverted to its original size.

[[File:Keith AG095.png|thumb|250px|Keith]]
'''Keith''' (Japanese: '''キクマ''' ''Kikuma'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War!]]''.

Keith lives on Island B, one of the [[A-B-C Islands]]. He attends school over on Island A. Unlike many on Island B, he prefers {{p|Huntail}} over {{p|Gorebyss}}. Because of this, he had a rivalry with [[Nancy]] from Island C, who prefers Gorebyss.

He and {{ashfr|the group}} joined [[Professor Birch]]'s visits to Islands C and B to discover more about {{p|Clamperl}} and its branched evolution. After Birch learned that the islands' waters contained [[Deep Sea Scale|DeepSeaScale]] or [[Deep Sea Tooth|DeepSeaTooth]] extract, Keith tagged along again. On Island C Nancy located a DeepSeaTooth and gave it to Keith. Likewise, Keith ended up finding a DeepSeaScale on Island B and gave it to Nancy, and she used it to evolve her Clamperl into her desired Gorebyss.

When {{TRT}} came by and tried to steal his and Nancy's Pokémon, {{TP|Ash|Grovyle}} freed the Pokémon with {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Afterwards, they worked together to defeat Team Rocket's mecha, sending them blasting off. As a result, Keith and Nancy were finally able to end their rivalry with each other and waved goodbye to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

Vito is not at home, however, as he has left to challenge the [[Pokémon League]].

==In the games==
'''Winstrate'''{{sup/3|RSE}}/'''The Winstrates''''{{sup/6|ORAS}} (Japanese: '''カチヌキさんち''' ''Kachinuki Family'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation III]] games. It refers to members of the Winstrate family, who are found in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]. Unlike most Trainer classes, there is no determined sprite, and each of the Winstrates have the sprite of that of a different Trainer class. The Winstrates challenge passing Trainers to a string of successive Pokémon battles. If they can be defeated, they will yield the [[Macho Brace]] they use to toughen up their Pokémon.

According to Vivi, Vito was the best Trainer, followed by Grandma Vicky, herself, her mother, and her father. Vito can be battled on the bottom floor of {{ho|Victory Road}} in between two waterfalls near the end of the game, while the other members of the Winstrate family can be found at the southern half of {{rt|111|Hoenn}}.

[[File:Vito Winstrate.png‎|thumb|220px|Vito]]
In ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} became stranded in the heat of the desert, but were saved by the Winstrate family. Victor revealed that two months prior, Vito, the son of the family, had left on his own journey to become a Hoenn League Champion. After giving them a tour of their house and yard, which included a purpose-built battlefield, they decided to challenge them to a four-on-four {{pkmn|battle}}.

First, {{an|Brock}} battled against Victor. [[Brock's Mudkip]] was quickly defeated by Victor's {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}, much to the group's surprise. Next, {{an|May}}, who used {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, fought against Victoria and her {{p|Roselia}}. May won the round by using a strategy similar to that of the one she used against [[Drew's Roselia]] in the {{ci|Slateport}} [[Pokémon Contest]], defeating her opponent with {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Silver Wind}}. In the next round, Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] to fight against Vivi and her {{p|Marill}}. Max ordered Corphish to go easy on Marill, but Corphish ignored him and viciously attacked its opponent, causing an instant knockout. This gave Max the win, but it was a hollow victory, as he had a crush on Vivi and because of that loss she no longer showed interest in him.

For the final round, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} went up against Vicky and {{p|Camerupt}}. Unfortunately, as Pikachu's {{m|Iron Tail}} hit Camerupt in the face, it got angry, and started using {{m|Eruption}} and rampaging around, threatening the Winstrate's crops. Thankfully, Vito who was on his way home to admit that he wished to pursue raising Pokémon instead of becoming a Champion, had been watching. He used his {{p|Alakazam}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}} to calm down Camerupt. As the match between Pikachu and Camerupt was interrupted, Vicky granted Ash the victory.

Just then, {{TRT}} arrived and attempted to steal Pikachu, but thanks to Vito, the villains were sent blasting off. Vicky was aware her grandson was nearby and declared that the family supported his ambitions, whatever path he wished. Vito was relieved, as he feared informing his family that he had failed their to meet their expectations. Without confronting his family Vito left again, this time on a journey to learn to raise Pokémon. Afterwards, the group also went on their way.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
Vito appeared again in ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', watching {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} and Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] battle on [[television]].

The Winstrates promptly put on hardhats as Camerupt started to go on a rampage using Eruption in the process. With no choice, Vito called out his {{p|Alakazam}} to use {{m|Rain Dance}} to calm Camerupt. Even though the battle was canceled, Ash was still declared the winner. When the group was leaving, Camerupt used an Eruption again, but now as a way of saying farewell.

Camerupt's known moves are {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Take Down}} and {{m|Eruption}}.}}

==Trivia==
* The way the Winstrate family is challenged is similar to the way the player challenges the [[Elite Four]] in the games.
* The {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, and {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} translations of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} may not have caught on to Vito's relationship to the Winstrate family, as he is given a name that breaks from the family naming pattern in those translations.

'''Nicholai''' (Japanese: '''キヨ''' ''Kiyo'') is a recurring character of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Hoenn]] who is obsessed with {{wp|Knickerbockers (clothing)|knickerbockers}} and {{pkmn|cosplay}}ing as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==History==
Nicholai first appeared in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]''. {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] were traveling through the [[Petalburg Woods]] on the way to [[Rustboro City]]. They were surprised to see a gigantic {{p|Zigzagoon}}, but it was actually Nicholai in a costume. He was trying to lure the wild Zigzagoon closer so he could battle them. Ash and his friends scared the Zigzagoon away, and an irritated Nicholai introduced himself to the group. The boy then showed off his collection of Pokémon costumes. Nicholai explained that he believed that his costumes allowed him to know what a Pokémon felt like. In addition, the costumes helped him blend in with wild Pokémon. Nicholai wanted a Zigzagoon so he could challenge [[Norman]] at the [[Petalburg Gym|Petalburg City Gym]].

After learning that May was Norman's daughter, Nicholai excitedly challenged May to a Pokémon battle. Nicholai sent out his {{p|Mudkip}} and May used her only Pokémon, {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Mudkip easily knocked out Torchic with a couple of {{m|Water Gun}} attacks. Nicholai then concluded that since May lost so horribly, Norman must be a pushover in battle too. Max, angry at Nicholai for insulting his father, followed him as he continued his endeavor to capture a Zigzagoon. Max stole Nicholai's Pokémon bait, but ended up being surrounded by a pack of the {{type|Normal}} Pokémon. Ash and the others rescued Max. Eventually, with the help of his Mudkip, Nicholai caught a Zigzagoon.

{{TRT}} tried to steal Mudkip, but Nicholai used a {{p|Gligar}} costume to fly up and rescue the Mud Fish Pokémon. {{AP|Pikachu}} then blasted Team Rocket off with an {{type|Electric}} attack. Nicholai used his new Zigzagoon in a battle against [[Ash's Taillow]] before parting for [[Petalburg City]].

His second and final appearance was in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]''. When Ash and his friends were traveling to [[Fallarbor Town]], they once again met Nicholai on {{rt|111|Hoenn}}. This time, he was dressed up as a {{p|Zangoose}} and he had one of his own. He informed the group that he had challenged [[Norman]], but was defeated. [[Caroline|May and Max's mother]] told him where they were headed, so he came to meet them. He battled Ash, using his newly evolved {{p|Marshtomp}} against {{AP|Treecko}}. Treecko managed to win. Later, when the trio tried to steal Nicholai's Marshtomp, his Zangoose came to the rescue. Nicholai and his Zangoose battled with {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and defeated it with a powerful {{m|Crush Claw}}. After Team Rocket was blasted off, Nicholai and Ash had one last battle, though the winner was not revealed.

==Character==
Nicholai tends to be overexcited, adventurous, and blunt, to a point where it irritates others. He considers himself a {{wp|Natural history|naturalist}} and has an in-depth knowledge of Pokémon behavior. He uses his Pokémon cosplays to interact with {{pkmn2|wild}} species and become closer with his own Pokémon during {{pkmn|battle}}.

In battle, Nicholai's observation skills help him to overcome a difficult opponent. In ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', he went on to defeat [[Jessie's Seviper]] after observing [[May's Skitty]] chase {{Ash}} in a {{p|Seviper}} costume. Nicholai uses evasion techniques to keep some distance between his Pokemon and his opponent's, before unleashing powerful attacks to deal the finishing blow.

Torchic was knocked out clean from one Water Gun. It was later used again to spray [[Berry]] trees with water to fend off wild {{p|Zigzagoon}} from [[Max]].

Next, it was used to battle one of many Zigzagoon. Despite being hit by {{m|Tackle}}, Mudkip was able to battle on, eventually allowing Nicholai to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the Zigzagoon. Suddenly, {{TRT}} showed up and tried to steal Mudkip. However, with the help of an {{p|Aipom}} and {{p|Gligar}} costume, Zigzagoon's {{m|Dig}}, and [[Ash's Taillow]] and {{AP|Pikachu}}, they were able to send Team Rocket blasting off and free Mudkip.

Mudkip was revealed to have [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Marshtomp in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]''. Nicholai used Marshtomp in a match against {{Ash}}, but it lost to {{AP|Treecko}}'s {{m|Pound}}.

Marshtomp's known moves are {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Mud Shot}}, and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

After seeing Nicholai using one of Zigzagoon's favorite food items, [[Max]] tried to lure them in but was confronted by a large hungry pack of them. Nicholai came to Max's rescue and directed the Zigzagoon to some nearby fruit trees. Then he asked to battle one of the Zigzagoon, and after a tight fight, Nicholai {{pkmn2|caught}} it. Later, Zigzagoon was used in a battle against {{Ash}} with his {{AP|Taillow}}, but the outcome was left unknown.

It reappeared in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'', where it battled Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, but like before, the victor was never revealed.

Ash, {{ashfr}}, and even {{TRT}} did not know what was going on, but they later learned that Zangoose and Seviper have a natural rivalry. As the pair fought each other, they were knocked into a river, and Seviper then used {{m|Poison Tail}}, knocking Zangoose unconscious. [[Ash's Corphish]] fended off Seviper with {{m|Bubble Beam}} and retrieved Zangoose. {{an|Brock}} later nursed Zangoose back to health with herbal medicine and left it to rest. Later, Seviper appeared again and engaged Zangoose in another battle, which ended when Zangoose knocked out the Fang Snake Pokémon with Crush Claw.

==Trivia==
[[File:Nicholai Cosplay.png|thumb|220px|Nicholai and his {{p|Mudkip}} against [[May's Torchic]]]]
* Nicholai is based on the {{tc|Youngster}} Trainer class. In the Japanese version, he even calls himself たんパンこぞう ''Shorts Boy'', Youngster's Japanese name, though he also has similarities to the {{tc|Poké Maniac}} who dresses up as a Pokémon.
* The two episodes that Nicholai appears in both end with him using his {{p|Zigzagoon}} in the midst of a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}.
* [[Nando]], who battled {{an|May}}'s successor, {{an|Dawn}} for her first official battle, also went on to become a recurring character.
* Nicholai's name may be a pun on "knickers."
** Alternatively, it may be a tribute to Nicholas Knickerbocker, the wooden doll belonging to [https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1074145.pdf Anne Carol Moore]. Anne Carol Moore is generally credited with opening libraries to children in the United States.
* The [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/07_08-zig-zag-zangoose/ pokemon.com blurb] of Nicholai's second appearance spells his name as ''Nicolai''.

'''Reggie''' (Japanese: '''レイジ''' ''Reiji'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} from [[Veilstone City]] and [[Paul]]'s older brother.

==History==
[[File:Younger Reggie.png|thumb|left|250px|Reggie in his battle with {{an|Brandon}}]]
===Pre-series===
At some point, Reggie was a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who ultimately earned eight Badges from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. He also challenged the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and won six of the seven Frontier [[Symbol]]s, aiming to become a [[Frontier Brain]]. As revealed in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', he decided to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after failing to get the Brave Symbol and being told by {{an|Brandon}} that he lacked a unique {{pkmn|battle}} strategy.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Reggie debuted in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. During this meeting, he and {{Ash}} competed in a three-on-three match; although [[Ash's Staravia]] lost to his {{p|Swalot}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} successfully defeated his {{p|Bibarel}} and {{p|Staraptor}} respectively.

In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Reggie and his {{p|Staraptor}} helped Ash's Staravia learn {{m|Brave Bird}}. He also watched the battle between {{an|Dawn}} and [[Maylene]] at the [[Veilstone Gym]]. In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', he used [[Paul's Electabuzz]] to help Ash defend the meteorites from [[Team Galactic]].

He briefly reappeared in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''.[[File:Reggie and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Reggie and Paul]] He later physically appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where he watched his brother's battle against Brandon. Reggie's past as a Trainer was revealed, along with Paul's subsequent desire to become stronger.

In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Reggie traveled to [[Lake Acuity]] to watch the [[Full Battle]] between {{Ash}} and [[Paul]], which was suggested by him at the end of ''A Pyramiding Rage!'' as a means of seeing how far the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s had developed. He was revealed to have called [[battle judge]] [[Olivier]] to preside over the battle.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Reggie explained that work was keeping him from attending the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], though he watched the event on [[television]]. After discussing Paul's Pokémon lineup and what he learned as a result of meeting Ash, Reggie encouraged his brother to win. Later, after Paul lost, Reggie informed both his own Pokémon and Paul's, but commented the battle had only made Paul stronger. He then suggested a battle to Paul once he returned home.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Reggie appeared with Paul, watching {{an|Cynthia}}'s [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Iris}}. In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', they watched Ash's match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

==Character==
[[File:Reggie Paul JN.png|thumb|250px|Reggie in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Following his loss to {{an|Brandon}}, Reggie became a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} to channel his skills with Pokémon. Unlike Paul, the loss left Reggie with an insight into true strength, along with a calm and optimistic nature. Despite his retirement from {{pkmn|training}} Pokémon, Reggie remains a strong competitor, as witnessed in his match against Ash in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. He suggests strategies to Paul and even raises his younger brother's Pokémon.

Reggie used {{m|Stockpile}} to raise Swalot's defense so that it wasn't so susceptible to Staravia's attacks.

It was mentioned in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' that Reggie takes care of [[Paul]]'s other reserve Pokémon as well. Paul had left {{p|Electabuzz}} with Reggie prior to ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' and had taken it back before ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]''.

Ash then ordered Staraptor to attack, flying just above the ground, only to be caught by Gastrodon's Body Slam. It then fired Water Pulse directly into the air, planning to dodge the attack descending at an increased speed at the last second. Breaking free by using {{m|Close Combat}} on the ground, Staraptor was then hit by a direct Ice Beam and subsequently substituted with {{AP|Buizel}}. It was at this point Paul realized Ash was using the same Pokémon as last time, much to his amused disbelief. As Gastrodon started off with an Ice Beam, Buizel again used his improvised [[Ash's Buizel#Moves improvised|Ice Aqua Jet]], sending Gastrodon flying. Going for another Body Slam from the blast, Buizel countered with an {{m|Ice Punch}}, effectively eliminating Gastrodon.

ChaotixFox: /* Voice actors */

[[File:Gilbert HS14.png|thumb|250px|Gilbert]]
'''Gilbert''' (Japanese: '''ハジメ''' ''Hajime'') is a [[character of the day]] and a young boy who is the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]]. He appeared in ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]''.

He wanted a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Hoenn]] like {{p|Torchic}} because they were "special", or a {{p|Pikachu}} like [[Ash Ketchum]]'s, who he seemed to have heard good things about. At the beginning of the episode, he didn't understand the point of having Pokémon other than for protection. He didn't want the hassle of raising them and was spoiled and selfish, making lots of demands for [[Evolution|evolved]] and rare Pokémon like {{p|Raichu}}.

In the episode, he accompanied {{an|Professor Oak}} and the others as they attempted to recapture the escaped baby {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. During this quest, he began to learn a lot more about the feelings of Pokémon and grew to understand them. Gilbert eventually chose the Bulbasaur he helped save from a group of {{p|Primeape}} after he was impressed by the strength of [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] at driving them back with a {{m|Solar Beam}}.

'''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') is a major character who appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. He is a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] who was [[Time travel|transported]] by {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} from 40 years in the past to {{Ash}}'s time by accident.


==In the movies==
Forty years ago, Sam traveled through the woods near [[Arborville]] and met a woman named [[Towa]], who told him about the "Voice of the Forest", and that if he did hear it, he should not move or else he would be sent to another time. Sam was also told about a rare Pokémon living there. With that said, Towa gave Sam a piece of bread as a parting gift. While continuing his travels in the forest, a {{OBP|Pokémon poacher|M04}} went chasing after {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}, wishing to capture it. Sam defended Celebi from the poacher, and shortly afterwards, the Pokémon teleported itself and Sam into the future.

During the present day, Sam landed in the same area that he got teleported from, outside a Celebi shrine. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in the area and found Sam unconscious. Ash took him back to Arborville, where Sam woke up to find out that Celebi had disappeared. After an aged Towa explained the situation to them, and returned the sketchbook that Sam had dropped as he was whisked away into the future, Sam and the group went into the forest and found Celebi where the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] was destroying the forest. The Marauder encountered the group, but they escaped.

The Marauder sent {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Sneasel}} after them. However, Sam and Ash battled the two Pokémon and were able to defeat them. Sam and the group arrived in a foggy portion of the [[Lake of Life]] and were able to heal Celebi with the water. As Celebi recovered, Ash and Sam played with it, having fun. Celebi then led the group to a [[Berry]] tree.

Later, Sam and the others encountered the Iron-Masked Marauder again. Despite their efforts, the Marauder managed to capture Celebi in a [[Dark Ball]]. Sam and Ash tried in vain to get the corrupted Celebi to stop as the Marauder commanded it to destroy the forest. However Celebi was unable to break free of the Marauder's control and began rampaging through the forest. As Celebi prepared to finish off Sam and Ash, but {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} arrived and saved the two Trainers. Suicune was then attacked by a monstrous ball's tendril, which sent all three of them flying. They were caught by a trapped [[Jessie]], who told them where Celebi was. Upon reaching it, Sam reminded Celebi about the fun times they shared, despite Celebi relentlessly attacking them in the process. The memories spurred Celebi to break free from the Marauder's control, destroying its Dark Ball in the process.
[[File:Sam Drawing.png|thumb|250px|Sam's drawing of Pikachu and Celebi]]
However, expending too much energy drained Celebi's life force, and it fell unconscious and began to wither away. Sam took it to the Lake of Life to restore it, but the waters had no effect, even after Suicune used its powers to purify the lake. After a brief period of mourning, however, the Celebi from all across time arrived and succeeded in reviving the fallen Celebi. The Iron-Masked Marauder emerged shortly after, and attempted again to capture Celebi, but he was defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} and subdued by the other forest Pokémon. Celebi then prepared to [[Time travel|travel back to the past]], and after exchanging farewells with Ash, Sam joined it and returned to his own time.

Later, Ash expressed his sadness to {{an|Professor Oak}} about Sam leaving, to which Professor Oak assured Ash that he and Sam will always be friends. After the call, {{an|Misty}} wondered how Professor Oak knew Sam's name when they hadn't mentioned it to him. At his lab, Professor Oak was seen looking at a faded version of Sam's sketchbook.

Sam briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine {{pkmn|movie}}s.

===Character===
Sam is an incredibly bright and pure-hearted individual.

'''Vincent''' or '''Jackson''' (Japanese: '''ジュンイチ''' ''Jun'ichi'') is one of the protagonists of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', along with {{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}}. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[New Bark Town]].

He has two names in the English dub. In the [[original series]], he is known as Jackson, while in ''The Legend of Thunder!'', his name is Vincent.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:LoT starters.png|thumb|250px|left|Vincent and his friends]]
Vincent's [[starter Pokémon]] was {{TP|Vincent|Chikorita}}, which he received from [[Professor Elm]] at the same time as {{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} received their {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil}} and [[Wani-Wani|Totodile]].

===''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''===
Vincent debuted in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. He and {{jo|Marina}} were talking via Pokémon Center videophone when the conversation was interrupted by {{jo|Jimmy}}, who hung up on Vincent after he threatened to expose his crush on Marina.

Later, Vincent joined [[Eusine|Eugene]], Marina, and Jimmy's quest to protect a {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}} from [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Attila]] and [[Hun]]. He appeared in a cape and ordered his Meganium to use Solar Beam to block Hun's {{p|Steelix}} from using {{m|Rock Throw}}. The pair were then forced to leap from a cliff after Steelix lashed out at them. Despite their efforts, Attila and Hun successfully captured Raikou and fled the scene with Marina, much to Vincent's dismay.

He, Eugene, and Jimmy again confronted the duo. Vincent tripped in his bid to save Marina, and she ended up landing on his back. During the effort to save Raikou, Vincent and Jimmy had their Meganium and {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}} drain the Miracle Crystal system's energy, and eventually, Raikou gained the strength to free itself. Raikou later destroyed the Miracle Crystal, which forced Attila and Hun to escape. Raikou turned to Vincent and the others to thank them before returning to the wilderness.

===[[Original series]]===
Vincent appeared on an image in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', where he was known as "Jackson" in the English dub. He was revealed to be {{Ash}} and [[Macy]]'s opponent in Division H of preliminary round-robin {{pkmn|battle}} rounds of the [[Silver Conference]].

Jackson made his physical main series debut in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where he faced Macy. The three-on-three match proved to be a close one, with both competitors down to their last Pokémon. Jackson's showboating got the better of him, however, as he tripped over his cape while issuing orders to {{p|Poliwhirl}}. Macy's {{p|Quilava}} ultimately defeated Poliwhirl with {{m|Flamethrower}}, winning Macy the round.
[[File:Vincent and Ash.png|220px|thumb|Vincent and Ash]]
Later, Ash ventured into the [[Pokémon Center]], where he came across Jackson talking with [[Professor Elm]] on the videophone. The pair greeted each other as Elm offered Jackson some encouragement for his upcoming match. Outside, Jackson's {{p|Meganium}} and {{p|Azumarill}} got into a heated fight with [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} over an apple. Ash and Jackson rushed outside to separate their Pokémon, but {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Miltank}} eased them with a soothing {{m|Heal Bell}}.

Overnight, Ash researched Jackson's team of Pokémon, and he settled on trying to counter the dynamic team based on [[type]] advantage. Ash and Jackson's round began the following day. Jackson was given the first move, and he called out his Azumarill while Ash selected {{AP|Pikachu}}. Azumarill was eventually defeated by a close-range {{m|Thunder}}. Jackson called out his {{p|Magneton}}, and it defeated Pikachu and later {{AP|Cyndaquil}} with a {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Tri Attack}} combination. However, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} dodged Jackson's winning strategy with a {{m|Vine Whip}}-propelled jump and exhausted Magneton with {{m|Leech Seed}}.

Jackson selected his final Pokémon, Meganium. After exchanging numerous attacks, the two {{type|Grass}} Pokémon were both left fatigued and ultimately fainted at the same time. As a result, the [[Battle judge|referee]] called the round a double knockout, and a draw overall between Ash and Jackson. However, due to the four-point total he attained from the Conference's three-way matches, Ash advanced to the next round, while Jackson and Macy were eliminated. He subsequently shook hands with Ash and wished him the best for the battles ahead.

From ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' to ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', Jackson is seen watching the Conference's remaining battles in the crowd.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', Vincent appeared watching the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match between {{an|Lance}} and [[Diantha]] on TV alongside Jimmy and Marina.

==Character==
[[File:Jimmy Marina Vincent JN.png|thumb|250px|left|Vincent and his friends in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Vincent is an incredibly positive and cheery individual. However, he is easily distracted and tends to trip over himself.

Vincent has a crush on Marina. He regularly keeps in contact with her via the [[Pokégear]]. Knowing Marina admires people who wear capes, Vincent dresses up in a cape sometimes to impress her. He has also used different personae in a bid to impress her. While it is disputed whether ''Jackson'' was one, he called himself ''Fabu-Vinny'' in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', as Marina refers to [[Lance]] as ''Fabu-Lance''. Vincent sees Jimmy as a rival for Marina's attraction.

It was first seen in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' being mean to Squirtle and Bulbasaur along with {{tt|Jackson|Vincent}}'s {{p|Azumarill}} until Harrison's {{p|Miltank}} used {{m|Heal Bell}} to calm them down.

Bulbasaur and Meganium used {{m|Vine Whip}} to fetch the apple, and they pulled to try to get it, but in the end, the apple snapped in half. Everyone was happy until Azumarill threw the apple at Squirtle, thinking it was funny. Squirtle was about to fight Azumarill until they stopped, but Meganium tripped Bulbasaur up and they both started to fight. Suddenly, {{jo|Harrison}} used his {{p|Miltank}}'s {{m|Heal Bell}} to calm them down.

It appeared later in the [[Silver Conference]] against Ash, and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Azumarill started with a Water Gun and Pikachu used {{m|Quick Attack}}. Pikachu went for a {{m|Thunderbolt}} while Azumarill used Bubble Beam. It then went for Icy Wind hitting Pikachu, followed by Iron Tail. Pikachu grabbed onto its tail, however, and used {{m|Thunder}}, knocking Azumarill out.

==Trivia==
* In the {{pmin|Israel}}i dub of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, Vincent was named Jackson, just as in the [[original series]], because the error was caught by the director of the series dub, Maya Bar Shalom. His situation matches that of [[Eusine]].
* Vincent's English name change may come directly from Pokémon Gold and Silver. There is a minor Trainer named "Junichi" in the Japanese version whose name was localized as "Vincent" in the English translation - a {{tc|Guitarist}} in the [[Vermilion City]] [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]] with three {{p|Magnemite}} and a {{p|Voltorb}}. The dubbers may have mistaken this character for an unrelated anime character. The same thing happened to Jimmy.
*Vincent is shown to have a crush on {{jo|Marina}}, who likes men who wear capes. When he was first seen in the main series, he was wearing a cape while battling [[Macy]] in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''.

'''Volt''' (Japanese: '''ボルト''' ''Volt'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]''.

Volt was a competitor in the annual [[Crossgate PokéRinger]] tournament. He had a massive ego, due to the fact that in the previous year's competition, he won, despite being a first time competitor. However, {{Ash}} was confident in his ability to defeat Volt.

They both faced each other during the first round of the competition. Volt used his {{p|Volbeat}}'s {{m|Thunder}} to quickly take care of a {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Golbat}} in the competition, but Ash remained calm. Using his {{AP|Taillow}}, Ash got the ring and was about to win. Volt used his Volbeat's Thunder again to try to stop Taillow, but Taillow stayed strong and was able to defeat the champion.

{{samename|character of the day in ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]''|Shane Seeker}}
[[File:Shane.png|thumb|250px|Shane]]
'''Shane''' (Japanese: '''カイト''' ''Kaito'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]''.

A resident of [[Crossgate Town]], Shane and his newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Swablu}} were competitors in the annual [[Crossgate PokéRinger]] tournament. Despite being a resident of Crossgate Town, this was Shane's first time entering the competition.

In his first round, Shane faced a {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Pelipper}}, and a {{p|Yanma}}. The rookie was able to use his knowledge of the wind to successfully win the first round of the PokéRinger.

Eventually, along with fellow newcomers {{Ash}} and [[James]], Shane made it to the semi-finals of the PokéRinger Tournament. In his round, Shane faced off against James and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, borrowed from Jessie. Unfortunately for Shane, James had been trained as a PokéRinger when he was younger. It was this skill that allowed the [[Team Rocket]] member to defeat Shane and move on to the finals.

Although Shane lost, he was glad to have participated, and congratulated Ash on his victory over James in the tournament.

He debuted in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]''. He was first seen sleeping whilst {{TRT}} were [[fishing]] for the [[Totem Pokémon]] of [[Brooklet Hill]], having previously told them about it. He woke up after {{an|Bewear}} came and took them away.

When {{an|Lana}} and {{Ash}} came fishing, he informed them that they needed his permission to fish. He agreed to let them fish if they managed to find a {{p|Feebas}}, which Lana, to his astonishment, reeled in almost immediately. He then told the duo that they'd need a boat to fish, and said that they could borrow his boat if they gave him the Feebas, which they agreed to. He also stayed on the site to observe Lana's progress.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', he was seen after Ash and {{ashcl}} entered the battlefield on Manalo Stadium before the [[Manalo Conference]] began. He later took part in the conference, but he failed to pass the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round.

==Character==
The master fisherman likes to recount tales of how he has tried to reel in the Totem of Brooklet Hill, although his stories seem highly exaggerated, as he tends to add decades into the time he has spent doing so. He also wears fake scars on his arms to show off as "proof" of his battles with the Totem.

[[File:Pokémon Sled Jump master.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon Sled Jump master]]
The '''Pokémon Sled Jump master''', or simply the '''Pokémon Sled master''' (Japanese: '''ジャンプ名人''' ''Jump Master'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[SM060|Getting a Jump on the Competition!]]''.

He is the prize maker and one of the hosts for the [[Pokémon Sled Jump Games]] on [[Mount Lanakila]].

Whenever he is judging the competitors on their performances, he would often comment on doing a similar performance whilst giving an ever increasing number of years on when he did it.

The '''master caddy''' (Japanese: '''キャディー名人''' ''Caddy Expert'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[SM110|Keeping Your Eyes on the Ball!]]''. He was the caddy during {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}'s Pokémon Golf game with [[Kahili]].

Much like the [[master fisherman]] and the [[Pokémon Sled Jump master]], both of whom he resembles, he would talk at length on how he would have done things better, often with an increasing number of years on when he did it. This would annoy Kahili's {{p|Toucannon}} and prompt it to put his head in its mouth.

* The master caddy using {{p|Krabby}} as a golf club is a pun, since Krabby's Japanese name "Crab" and the word "club" are pronounced the same way in Japanese ('''クラブ''' ''Kurabu'').

[[File:Ed.png|thumb|250px|Ed]]
'''Ed''' (Japanese: '''エド''' ''Edo'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY111|Unlocking Some Respect!]]''. He is a locksmith.

At some point before the episode's events, [[Locke]] was his apprentice, but got into a disagreement with him and ended up quitting. After Locke in his Master Thief Keyes disguise came by a gem exhibition to pick the lock, [[Officer Jenny]] called Ed to the scene, as he made the lock that had been picked. Ed became suspicious, as he had made all the locks picked during Master Thief Keyes' heists, and went back to his shop, allowing his {{p|Binacle}}, Righty, to stay with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

Later, when a Pokémon Center was on fire, Righty had {{an|Bonnie}} go to Ed to get help. Ed went to the Pokémon Center to rescue Locke who had been trapped inside while rescuing the Pokémon. Locke admitted that he used Master Thief Keyes to earn Ed's respect, but Ed revealed that he knew Master Thief Keyes' real identity all along. Both were able to escape the blazing Pokémon Center. After Officer Jenny arrested Locke, she told Ed that because Locke had never actually stolen anything, only picked locks, he'd be cautioned and then released immediately. Ed also told Ash and his friends to keep it a secret.

After the group met with Ed, it learnt that Righty had been in a fight with Ed and had been looking for Locke and Lefty ever since they had left. It stayed with the group for the night and accompanied it on their search for Locke.

After the group reached the burning [[Pokémon Center]], it finally met up with Locke and Lefty. It helped to put out the fire with {{m|Water Gun}} and when Locke was trapped inside the burning building, ran off, still attached to Bonnie's head, to call its [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] for help.

Binacle's known moves are {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

[[File:Young Sophia.png|thumb|left|220px|Sophia 50 years ago]]
'''Sophia''' (Japanese: '''ソフィア''' ''Sophia'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'', She lives with her husband of 50 years, [[Marcello]], at the [[Sunflora Lodge]], which they run together.

Sophia and Marcello married 50 years ago and took a picture with hundreds of {{p|Sunflora}}. They continued this tradition for the next 49 wedding anniversaries. On their 50th anniversary, however, the weather was particularly cold and the Sunflora never appeared at the usual south slope location.

{{Ash}} was able to use his [[Sun Stone]] that he won as a prize in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] to evolve a recently rescued {{p|Sunkern}} into a Sunflora. This Sunflora went on to call the other Sunflora over, allowing Sophia and Marcello to maintain their anniversary tradition, and {{Todd}} took the commemorative snapshot.

Sophia enjoys telling travelers romantic stories about herself and Marcello. However, these tales aren't completely true and are inspired by the many romance novels and movies she enjoys.

Yansu

2023-06-02T18:22:09Z

ChaotixFox: /* Voice actors */

[[File:Yansu.png|thumb|250px|Yansu]]
'''Yansu''' (Japanese: '''ヤンス''' ''Yansu'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is often seen with his two brothers, [[Horacio]] and {{OBP|Dana|SM041}}.

==History==
In ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'', Yansu entered the [[Charjabug race]] as a member of the Red Comet team with his brothers and [[Horacio]]'s {{Shiny}} {{TP|Horacio|Charjabug}}. His role as his team's support runner was to run alongside Charjabug during the race and help it overcome obstacles. Like Dana, he noticed how Charjabug was running out of stamina due to it not given much time to rest, but Horacio yelled at them to keep going on despite this. Eventually, when Charjabug got stuck at an icy slope, it was surpassed by [[Sophocles's Charjabug|Sophocles's own Charjabug]], who then proceeded to win the entire race, much to the dismay of the Red Comet team.

In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', Yansu and his brothers traveled to [[Vast Poni Canyon]] so Horacio could [[Evolution|evolve]] his Charjabug. They encountered {{Ash}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}, who were planning to evolve Sophocles's own Charjabug. Horacio accepted Sophocles's challenge to see who could evolve their Charjabug first, under the condition that they do so unassisted. As a result, Yansu waited outside the Canyon alongside Dana, Ash, Kiawe, and [[Hapu]] while Horacio and Sophocles tried to get the "Bug Stone" that was said to make Charjabug evolve. Yansu later watched as Sophocles returned victorious with his {{p|Vikavolt}}.

In ''[[SM119|A High-Speed Awakening!]]'', Yansu and Dana watched Horacio as he participated the [[Vikavolt race]], but lost.

==Character==
Yansu often supports his brother [[Horacio]]'s schemes out of fear of retribution and being yelled at. Like {{OBP|Dana|SM041}}, he finds Horacio's usual boasting obnoxious.

He is the father of {{an|Lana}}, [[Harper and Sarah]]. He was first mentioned by Lana in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', as she recalled him instructing her to stay away from {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Dhelmise}} if she ever came across one. He made his physical debut in a flashback in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', where he was lying unconscious in his house, due to the effects of a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}, as Harper and Sarah played with him. However, he was not fully seen physically, due to Harper and Sarah covering most of his body, including his head, with a blanket.

Lana's father was fully seen in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he first encountered a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Eevee}} as it was riding on a {{OBP|Mantine|recurring}}. Later, he returned home from his recent [[fishing]] expedition and greeted his family, only to learn Lana recently {{pkmn2|caught}} the same [[Sandy|Eevee]].

In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', Lana revealed that she would be joining her father on his next sea expedition to search for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Manaphy}}. He and Lana left in ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]''.

==In the games==
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Lana's father lives in a house in [[Konikoni City]] with his wife and three daughters. He is a fisherman, and his wife states he is good at fishing treasures such as {{i|Pearl}}s and [[Heart Scale]]s, but does not have any luck when it comes to fishing Pokémon. He personally believes that one can fish up rare treasure if they cast their fishing line over piles of rocks that have bubbles erupting from them.

==Trivia==
* Dub closed captions refer to him as '''Lana's father'''.

Mayor of Trovitopolis

{{Unknown name}}
[[File:Mayor of Trovitopolis.png|thumb|250px|The Mayor of Trovitopolis]]
The '''Mayor of Trovitopolis''' (Japanese: '''ビッグシティの市長''' ''Mayor of Big City'') is a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''.

[[File:Mayor of Trovitopolis child.png|thumb|left|250px|The mayor as a child]]
While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were heading through [[Trovitopolis]] on the way to [[Trovita Island]], they landed in the sewers after one of {{TRT}}'s attempts to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} went wrong. The Trovitopolis [[Officer Jenny]] found them down there after [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] got kidnapped by a creature. After Ash and his friends got out of the sewers, they were locked in jail. The paranoid mayor wanted to get rid of the creature in the sewers to improve his chances in the next election, and hired a personal SWAT team to carry out his needs by guarding every sewer entrance in the city. However, after sealing all the exits in the sewers, it turned out the mayor cared more about winning the next election than what was going on down below, emphasizing his selfish, egocentric, power-hungry and cruel nature.

As Ash and his friends were looking for Bulbasaur, {{an|Misty}} and her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} were captured, too. It later turned out that a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, which was [[Giant Pokémon|twice its normal size]], was the creature wreaking havoc. It was driven by loneliness, having been abandoned by the mayor when he was a child, and was looking for someone to keep it company. Ash, Misty, and {{Tracey}} then showed the whole town that the monster was the Bulbasaur that the mayor abandoned, after the pipes burst and flooded Trovitopolis City Hall.

The mayor revealed the fact he abandoned the Bulbasaur because it wouldn't [[Evolution|evolve]]. After hearing what happened, the townspeople realized the mayor had been lying the whole time and refused to vote for him. His Bulbasaur saw how cruel and ungrateful its former Trainer was and used its Vine Whip to throw the mayor onto one of his statues in humiliation. Afterwards, the town's [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to take care of the Bulbasaur.

'''Chester''' (Japanese: '''テスラ''' ''Tesla'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''. He is the younger brother of [[Nico]]. Together, they have a tendency of rapping their sentences.

While resting at a [[Pokémon Center]] with Nico, Chester overheard a conversation between {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} about the [[Battle Chateau]]. The brothers approached the group and invited them along, announcing that Chester was planning on making his own Battle Chateau debut, following in the footsteps of Nico, who already had the title of {{tc|Baron}}.

Inside the Battle Chateau, the group was welcomed by {{OBP|Molly|XY020}} and Duke [[Turner]]. Chester watched his brother's victory over [[Farrell]], which elevated Nico's rank to {{tc|Viscount}}. Turner then announced that the next battle would be between Chester and Ash. Before the battle, Molly informed both Trainers the winner would gain the rank of Baron. Although Chester lost, Nico assured they would train together to win next time. Afterwards, he watched the battle between [[Viola]] and [[Grant]]. After that, Nico and Chester said their farewells to Ash and his friends, and hoped to challenge each other at the Chateau sometime.

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Santalune City]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}.

==History==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''===
[[File:Summer Camp Team Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno, Shauna, and Trevor]]
Tierno debuted in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' along with {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Trevor}}, and his {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}}. He first had a {{pkmn|battle}} against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Conkeldurr}} and won. Later that episode, he battled [[Ash's Froakie]]. During his battle with Ash, he revealed that he dreams of forming a dance unit with his Pokémon.

In ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', Tierno, along with Trevor and Shauna, decided to put the race on hold to help Ash, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} find {{an|Bonnie}}. The group later encountered a {{p|Xerneas|mysterious Pokémon with an X mark}} on their way back to the camp. Although they arrived too late at the camp to win any points in the race, they declared that helping their friends was totally worth it.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor participated in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, Squirtle, and {{p|Charmander}}, respectively. Their opponents were their new friends and rivals, Ash, Serena, and Clemont and their respective [[starter Pokémon]]. Tierno was the last to defeated in the battle, where his Squirtle was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]]. He was also seen in a flashback in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.
[[File:Ash and Tierno.png|thumb|250px|Tierno and Ash]]

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Tierno met Ash during their journey to the [[Lumiose Gym]]. He revealed that he already defeated [[Clembot]] and earned himself the {{badge|Voltage}}. Soon after, Tierno revealed the Pokémon that he {{pkmn2|caught}} after the camp: {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Politoed}}, and {{p|Raichu}}.

Both he and Ash decided to have a Pokémon battle, but it was interrupted by {{TRT}}, who captured [[Ash's Sliggoo]] and Tierno's Raichu and Wartortle. After the group separated to rescue the Pokémon, Tierno and Bonnie met up with Sliggoo, Raichu, and Wartortle; and decided to go help Ash and Serena. During the confrontation with Team Rocket, Tierno watched as Sliggoo evolved into {{p|Goodra}} and defeated [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon easily. Later, he battled Ash with Wartortle and Raichu, who were defeated by Goodra and Pikachu, respectively.
[[File:Pokémon Showcase Glowsticks.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno watching a Showcase]]
In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Tierno watched Serena competing in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Shauna and Trevor.

Tierno met Ash and {{ashfr}} again in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration]]'', where he was accompanying Shauna at the Pokémon Showcase that would be held in [[Anistar City]]. He revealed that his Wartortle had evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}} and that he had tried to battle at the [[Gym]] of the city but lost to the Psychic-type Pokémon from the [[Olympia|Gym Leader]]. Later, Tierno and Ash had a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Serena and Shauna which was eventually called off without any Pokémon getting defeated. He then had a battle again only with Ash, but the winner is not shown. He and Shauna remained in the group, with Tierno that assisted the Pokémon Showcase, which Shauna and Serena participated in, that happened in the [[XY091|next episode]] alongside Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Tierno made brief appearances in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class on [[television]] along with Trevor.

Tierno entered the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', in which he was seen talking to Trevor during the opening reception. In the [[XY126|following episode]], he was revealed to have advanced all the way to the quarterfinals, where he was matched against [[Sawyer]].
[[File:Tierno and Sawyer.png|thumb|250px|Tierno and Sawyer]]
During the match, Tierno first sent out Ludicolo to battle Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}}. He commanded Ludicolo to use {{m|Rain Dance}} in order to activate its {{a|Swift Swim}} [[Ability]], but Sawyer's strategy of protecting Aegislash with {{m|King's Shield}} and raising its {{stat|Attack}} with {{m|Swords Dance}} proved successful and Ludicolo was [[Fainting|knocked out]]. After that, Tierno decided to use Raichu, and the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} made quick work of Aegislash with its {{m|Dig}} attack. Sawyer then called out {{p|Slurpuff}} and had it use {{m|Attract}}, {{status|Infatuation|infatuating}} Raichu and prompting Tierno to [[Recall|return it to its Poké Ball]].
[[File:Tierno dancing.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno dancing]]
After that, Tierno called out Blastoise, and when Slurpuff used Attract again, it had no effect. Tierno then asked Blastoise to use {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, rendering the {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} unable to battle and forcing Sawyer to sent out his last Pokémon, {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}}, to the field. Blastoise managed to stand his ground for a while, even resisting a [[super-effective]] {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but ended up losing after it got hit by {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Before he fainted, it used Rain Dance to change the [[weather]] and make things easier for his teammate Raichu. When Tierno brought Raichu back into battle and commanded her to use {{m|Thunder}}, he was taken aback as Sceptile [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] and gained the {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability, thus being unaffected by Thunder. Tierno then had Raichu use {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Sawyer responded by commanding Mega Sceptile to use Dragon Claw, cutting the Focus Blast in half and knocking Raichu unconscious. As a result, Tierno was eliminated from the competition.

After losing, he decided to remain in Lumiose City to watch the rest of the League together with his friends, which he did up until ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]''.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Tierno joined the fight against [[Team Flare]]. [[Diantha]] tasked him, Shauna, Trevor and [[Sawyer]] with helping the citizens during the crisis. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', he watched the crisis unfold on television in a Pokémon Center.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Tierno watched the performance that Serena put on to boost morale.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Tierno and his group watched some of the [[wild Pokémon]] who recently escaped Lumiose City during the Team Flare incident.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', Tierno appeared watching the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match between {{an|Lance}} and [[Diantha]] on TV, alongside Sawyer, Shauna, and Trevor.

==Character==
[[File:Kalos rivals JN.png|thumb|250px|Tierno and his friends in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Much like his [[Tierno|game counterpart]], Tierno is a dancer. Despite being a rookie {{pkmn|Trainer}}, he can cope well when battling more experienced opponents thanks to his skills, teaching dance moves to his Pokémon so they can evade attacks with ease. He also battles strategically, like Sawyer, by ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]''.

Tierno is very friendly and is always encouraging his friends to do their best. He is very supportive of his close friends {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Trevor}}, due to knowing them since they were little. Tierno would often watch Shauna's {{pkmn|Showcase}} performances. He also has feelings for {{an|Serena}}, which he demonstrates every time they meet. He was responsible for introducing Shauna to Serena. Tierno quickly befriended [[Sawyer]] and respects him as a Trainer.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Tierno party.png|thumb|250px|Tierno and some of his Pokémon prior to ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'']]
Tierno's affinity for dancing is reflected in his [[party]], as he tends to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with special dancing skills such as {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Ludicolo}}. Tierno uses others, like {{p|Raichu}}, to balance his team and have advantages in his next challenges. These dancing skills not only serve as choreography, but they also contribute to the battling method of his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, where they can more easily dodge more powerful opponents.

Tierno's Pokémon, starting with his [[starter Pokémon]], tend to follow a team mostly composed of {{type|Water}} Pokémon, including using strategies with moves of this type. For example, during his battle against Sawyer, Tierno used techniques such as {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{Abilities}} such as {{a|Swift Swim}} to gain a chance of victory.

'''Jeremy''' (Japanese: '''オガタ''' ''Ogata'') is a minor recurring character who first appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]''.

==History==
[[File:Jeremy youth.png|left|thumb|220px|Jeremy in his youth]]
Jeremy is a businessman who was a traveling rocker in his youth. Before that, he was a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but he was forced to quit when he formed his band since he became busy.

He had a lifelong dream of entering a [[Pokémon Contest]]. He donned his rocker persona again, and entered the {{ka|Silver Town}} Contest. He used his {{p|Butterfree}} during the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], where it used a [[Contest combination|combination]] of {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{m|Poison Powder}}, and {{m|Safeguard}}. His wife {{OBP|Mandy|AG151}} and son {{OBP|Nicholas|AG151}} interrupted his appeal to convince him to give up his dream and come home. Jeremy replied with a speech about how he and his Pokémon spent countless hours {{pkmn|training}} to achieve their dream and what it means to be a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. After this speech, the judges, audience members, and {{an|May}} cheered him on to continue competing. After seeing what this dream means to him, his family let him finish his run in the Silver Contest.

Jeremy and his {{p|Venusaur}}, who was usually sleeping according to Nicholas, ended up battling against May and her {{TP|May|Combusken}} in the final round. Venusaur launched its powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attacks, but in the end, May won the [[Ribbon]].

Jeremy briefly reappeared in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'', where he was seen watching the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] at home with his wife and son.

In Jeremy's flashback of his youth, it was revealed that he owned Venusaur when it was an {{p|Ivysaur}}.

'''Giovanni''' (Japanese: '''サカキ''' ''Sakaki'') is the former head of [[Team Rocket]], who served as the secretive [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]]. He handed out the {{Badge|Earth}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him. As a Gym Leader, he [[Type expert|specialized]] in {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but his master plan includes collecting rare Pokémon of all [[type]]s. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], he makes a return appearance as the leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Boss'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}/'''Rocket Boss'''{{sup/4|HGSS}}/'''Team Rocket Boss'''{{sup/7|PE}} (Japanese: '''ロケットだんボス''' ''Team Rocket Boss'') and '''Team Rainbow Rocket''' (Japanese: '''{{j|Rロケットだん}}''' ''Team R Rocket'').

==In the core series games==
Giovanni is the primary antagonist of the games taking place in Kanto.

In the [[Generation I|first games]] Giovanni appeared in, he served a dual role: one that was well known to the residents of Kanto, and one that was more secret. He was first shown as the leader of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], the first of many [[Villainous team|criminal organizations]] to grace the Pokémon games. After the {{player}} defeated him and his team of Grunts at [[Silph Co.]], Giovanni fled to a hideout that the player is unaware of. Once the player returned to Viridian City, one of the major plot twists of these games revealed that Giovanni, in addition to his role as a criminal, was the final Gym Leader to be fought before the [[Elite Four]]—albeit one without a formal title. Here, he specializes in the {{t|Ground}} type. Once defeated, he disbanded Team Rocket and left the player with the {{Badge|Earth}} and {{TM|27|Fissure}}. If talked to again, he then vanishes and is not seen again for the rest of the game.

Giovanni's role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is much the same; the one difference is that defeating him in the Gym battle will earn the player {{TM|26|Earthquake}}, instead of TM27 (Fissure). He also implies that he intends to return to power one day rather than being moved to dedicate his life to the study of Pokémon. There is a side-plot in the [[Sevii Islands]] that revolves around Giovanni; a group of Team Rocket members are trying to continue the aims of Team Rocket, but they abandon this when they realize that their leader has been defeated once and for all.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Giovanni's story is slightly expanded from his first appearance. During his first appearance, he is seen talking with [[Archer]] and giving him the permission to proceed with the plan to take over Silph Co. After being defeated for the first time, he gives the player the [[Silph Scope]] as a token of apology for mocking them, as opposed to just leaving the device behind before leaving, like in previous games. At the Silph Co., a part of his conversation with the Silph Co. President is shown, with Giovanni demanding him to hand over the [[Master Ball]] like they had previously agreed. In the Gym battle, Giovanni's reward TM once again contains Earthquake, although now, it's [[TM41]], instead of TM26.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a group of Team Rocket members tries to relaunch the old team. They take over [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], and broadcast a radio announcement intended for Giovanni. Only in HeartGold and SoulSilver is it revealed that Giovanni does hear the broadcast, from his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]] - an event in the remakes involving a [[Time travel|time-traveling]] {{p|Celebi}} allows {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} to travel back in time and defeat Giovanni at the same time the rest of Team Rocket is being defeated at the Radio Tower. Upon defeat, he will begin ranting about how he keeps losing to children and, like before, Giovanni will leave the room and disappear. Later, in Kanto, it is revealed that {{ga|Blue}} took over the Viridian Gym after his disappearance.

The Celebi event also reveals some of Giovanni's background from the three years between Generation I/III and Generation II/IV. While it was mentioned by {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] in FireRed and LeafGreen that Giovanni has a son with red hair, the son's identity wasn't revealed until the time travel event in HeartGold and SoulSilver. As many fans speculated (and as was mentioned in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga series), this son is the [[rival]] of the Johto player character, {{ga|Silver}}. Much of Silver's personality is a result of the treatment he received from Giovanni, which includes abandonment. Like many of Giovanni's other actions throughout the games, this reflects on his selfishness.

Giovanni reappears in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], replacing Blue, who instead participates in the [[Champions Tournament]]. Giovanni returns to using Ground types exclusively. While the announcer usually introduces Gym Leaders by their title, Giovanni, who does not have a title, is introduced as "The Self-Proclaimed Strongest Trainer" (Japanese: '''さいきょうのトレーナーとなのる''' ''Self-Proclaimed Strongest Trainer'').

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] Giovanni appears in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} as the Boss of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]. This version of Giovanni came from a universe where Team Rocket succeeded in taking over the world, featured in [[Episode RR]]. He is first seen during the [[Aether Foundation]]'s broadcast from [[Aether Paradise]], where he seizes control of the organization from [[Lusamine]]. He fortifies himself inside [[Team Rocket's Castle]] and stations versions of [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]] from other worlds as his guards, along with an army of {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s. After battling through his army, the player and [[Lillie]] find Giovanni holding an unconscious Lusamine inside his control center deep within the castle. He introduces himself and reveals that he plans to create an army of [[Ultra Beast]]s in order to conquer all worlds. For that purpose, he needs the Aether Foundation's resources, and intends to brainwash Lusamine into serving him. Feeling nostalgic that a child would challenge him, Giovanni battles the player with a [[party]] that includes {{p|Mewtwo}}, and is ultimately defeated. Accepting his loss, Giovanni abandons his plans for the Aether Foundation but swears that Team Rainbow Rocket will never fall. He leaves as [[Colress]] begins working to revert Team Rocket's Castle back into Lusamine's mansion, and is last seen reflecting on what he will do next before being warped away.

A battle program based on Giovanni appears as a boss in the [[Battle Agency]] within [[Festival Plaza]]. He's also implied to have stopped by at the [[Alola Photo Club]] to leave villainous team-based stickers for the player to use after he was defeated by them.

==Quotes==
{{main|Giovanni/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Giovanni BW142.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

===Main series===
{{main|Giovanni (anime)}}
Giovanni appears in the {{pkmn|anime}} as the head of [[Team Rocket]]. Unlike the members of other prominent criminal organizations, he is a recurring character in all of the [[series]] so far, usually keeping in contact with the [[Team Rocket trio]].
{{-}}

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Giovanni Origins.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Giovanni appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} first recalled meeting him at the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. They later encountered again at [[Silph Co.]] after Team Rocket had taken over the building. Seeing Red's arrogant and determined attitude to stop Team Rocket every time, Giovanni decided to put him in his place, and battled [[Red's Charizard]] with his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, winning easily before escaping with a helicopter, declaring that Red could never understand what he was hoping to achieve.
[[File:Young Giovanni PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Giovanni as a child]]
Giovanni appeared once more as the Viridian Gym Leader. Giovanni accepted his Gym challenge, but Red claimed that he would battle him as the enemy of all Pokémon, instead of a Gym Leader. Hearing this, Giovanni put aside his usual Gym Leader battling [[party|team]] and took out his strongest pair of Pokémon, contained within [[Ultra Ball]]s. The first one was {{p|Rhyhorn}}, which single-handedly was able to defeat four of Red's Pokémon before drawing with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. During the {{pkmn|battle}}, Giovanni started actually feeling excited, and wondered why he was feeling that way. When he saw the pose Red took while sending out his Charizard, he finally remembered his childhood passion for Pokémon and battling, and wondered how he could have ever turned into a person who only treated Pokémon as tools for business. After Red's Charizard had defeated Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni offered him the Earth Badge as a proof of his victory. Red, however, refused to take a Badge from the Boss of Team Rocket. Seeing this, Giovanni turned to his minions, informing them that from that moment onward, Team Rocket would be officially disbanded. He then turned back to Red, now offering the Badge to him not as the Boss of Team Rocket but as the Viridian City Gym Leader. Red accepted the Earth Badge and left, heading for the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].

As his battle with Red had reminded Giovanni of how Pokémon could be taken as fun rather than business, he decided that he wanted to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, without being the Boss of Team Rocket any longer.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Giovanni PG.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Giovanni first appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]''. After the [[International Police]] had failed to find him during a raid at the [[Viridian Gym]], he was seen standing on a hill near [[Viridian City]], declaring that Team Rocket would never fall, before walking away. Along with his disapparance, rumors about Team Rocket's disbandment began circling around.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''. [[Looker]] approached Giovanni's son {{ga|Silver}}, hoping to find information on him as he had not been seen since his disappearance three years prior. However, all Silver could describe was his own last encounter with Giovanni three years ago, in which the two had a falling out that fractured their relationship.

===GOTCHA!===
Giovanni briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Giovanni (Adventures)}}

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Giovanni serves much of the same role as he does in the games, although he now has [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Koga]] as subordinates. However, Giovanni is much more ruthless than his other counterparts.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Giovanni Zensho.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in Pokémon Zensho]]
Giovanni appears in [[PZ05]], where he is watching {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from the hidden cameras within the [[Silph Co.]] building. He orders one of his {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s to try and stop Satoshi from reaching him. [[PZ07|Two chapters later]], he has taken the boss of Silph Co. hostage and threatens to harm him if he refuses to tell Giovanni where the [[Master Ball]] was. However, he is interrupted when Satoshi and [[Sabrina]] teleport their way to the top floor. Lapras uses {{m|Mist}} to blind {{p|Nidoqueen}}, but she launches a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack. One of the needles from the attacks hits Giovanni. Satoshi and the others manage to escape afterwards. In ''[[PZ09|Viridian City]]'', Giovanni was revealed to be the final Gym Leader that Satoshi challenges. Satoshi manages to defeat him and earns the {{Badge|Earth}}.

==Trivia==
* Giovanni is the only [[Gym Leader]] in the {{pkmn|games}} to appear outside of his [[Gym]] in [[Generation I]], a feature that would become more and more common up to [[Generation IV]], during and after which all Gym Leaders in the featured regions appear outside of their Gym in one way or another.
** He is also the only Gym Leader not to use the "A Trainer Appears (Boy Version)" song.
* In the English version of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, his name is misspelled "Giovani" (with one n). This is because the space for Trainer names only allows seven characters, whilst Giovanni's name has eight.
* In the official Red and Blue guide from [[Nintendo Power]], Giovanni was labelled to be a regional boss of Team Rocket (implying he's not the absolute leader). This was invalidated in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, where it was made clear that Giovanni was the absolute leader of Team Rocket (even having an [[Team Rocket HQ|office in Johto]]).
* Giovanni is likely based on the boss of a {{wp|Yakuza}} faction, possibly more on the {{wp|bakuto}} factions than others, considering [[Team Rocket]]'s former ownership of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Outside of Japan, this reference is localized, making him more akin to a {{wp|Mafia}} boss (especially considering his English name being Italian in origin).
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Giovanni and [[Norman]] are tied for using more different species of Pokémon than any other Gym Leader at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], with a total of 10.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, he is the only Gym Leader who uses a Pokémon not of the type he specializes in during Gym battles.
* In his official {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} artwork, Giovanni has the same pose as {{me|Mewtwo}} X in [[:File:150Mewtwo-Mega X.png|its official artwork]], just mirrored.
* Artwork made by Ken Sugimori suggests that Giovanni was not originally going to be the Gym Leader of Viridian City.<ref>https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/611129653110026241</ref>
* Giovanni debuted in {{g|GO}} as a [[GO Snapshot]] photobomb at [[List of events (GO)|Pokémon GO Fest in Yokohama]].
* The teaser trailer for the debut of [[Team GO Rocket]] in GO contains the line "Earth is where I shall unleash my evil schemes next!" This is a reference to Giovanni's final line in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, in which he ponders "Now...what new world shall I unleash my evil schemes upon...?" before warping away from [[Aether Paradise]].
* Giovanni is the only character to be the leader of more than one [[villainous team]].

'''Alder''' (Japanese: '''アデク''' ''Adeku'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Unova]] region's [[Unova League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==In the core series games==
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Alder appears as the wandering Champion of [[Unova]]. The {{player}} first meets him on {{rt|5|Unova}}, where he is seen with [[Cheren]]. The two are discussing Cheren's ambitions and goals as a Trainer—at this point, Cheren is aiming to be the Champion of Unova. Alder appears at several points in the game to help the player put a stop to the plans of [[Team Plasma]], making appearances at [[Relic Castle]] and [[N's Castle]].

Uniquely for a Champion, Alder cannot be battled the first time the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}. By the time the player is ready to challenge him, Alder has already been defeated by [[N]]. The player must then battle N, putting each other's beliefs on the line to determine the future of [[Unova]].

In the past, Alder's [[starter Pokémon]] died of [[Illness in the Pokémon world|illness]], and in despair over not being able to save it, he began traveling around aimlessly. Before his partner's death, the two of them madly pursued strength, much like Cheren did. The Pokémon's death changed Alder's outlook on life. The identity of this Pokémon is never mentioned in Black and White, but dialogue in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} reveals that Alder's late partner was {{p|Larvesta}}/{{p|Volcarona}}.<ref>Alder: "''Well done! That was an impressive battle. The spirit of my first partner, Larvesta - no, Volcarona - lives on in my current partners, too! I want to add your strength to their experience as well!''" </ref>

[[Ghetsis]] suggests that Alder may not have actually won the title of Champion, instead being requested by the [[Unova League|Pokémon League]] to take the position. It is said that Alder instructed the Elite Four to look after Unova as he traveled around the region.

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, former [[Opelucid City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Iris]] has become the region's Champion. Alder will again assist the player at various points of the game, and he is based in his hometown of [[Floccesy Town]] this time. A woman in the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] notes that Alder had refused to work at the school because it is the era of young people. After defeating Iris, the player can return to Floccesy Town and accept Alder's request for a {{pkmn|battle}}. If victorious, the player will be able to battle in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}. Alder's grandson [[Benga]] is known to train there.

As a former Champion, Alder participates in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Alder anime.png|thumb|250px|Alder in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Alder debuted in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', during a flashback of [[Trip]]'s childhood. He was battling a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the middle of a town with his {{p|Bouffalant}} as Trip watched in awe. After the {{pkmn|battle}} ended, the {{pkmn|Champion}} approached the child and allowed him to pet and feed Bouffalant. He asked Trip what his goal was, and Trip replied that it was to be Champion. Impressed, Alder inspired Trip to train hard when he got older, and promised that he would be waiting to challenge Trip someday. Trip sealed the promise with a confident handshake.

Alder physically debuted in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''. {{Ash}} and Trip met him on {{rt|5|Unova}}, and upon meeting them, he referred to them as '''Ashton''' (Japanese: '''サンタロ''' ''Santaro'') and '''Tristan''' (Japanese: '''シュータロ''' ''Shootaro''), respectively. He wished to battle both of them in a two-on-one battle, but Trip refused to battle alongside Ash, so Alder settled for battling them one at a time. Trip allowed Ash to go first, thinking that being quickly defeated by the Champion would do him good.

During the battle, Alder just stood calmly and allowed his Bouffalant to take multiple attacks from [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Ash and {{ashfr}} then realized Alder was actually sleeping while standing up. Trip woke Alder, while Bouffalant expressed its embarrassment and disappointment in its Trainer. After explaining why he was asleep, Alder commanded Bouffalant to use {{m|Head Charge}}, but Bouffalant was still angry with him and slow to respond. In order to persuade Bouffalant to quit wasting time and attack, Alder slapped its rump, sending it charging. Bouffalant stampeded towards Pikachu, but it stopped quickly, made a U-turn, and attacked Alder instead.

Afterwards, much to Trip's disappointment, and despite his Bouffalant still being fit to battle, Alder conceded defeat to Ash and decided he was finished battling for the day. Trip then questioned Alder about the advice he was given as a child. Alder seemed to be confused by this and then contradicted the original advice he gave to Trip by saying becoming the strongest was not the most important part of battling. Trip immediately left in anger, telling Ash he would continue on the path he believed in.

[[File:Alder and Cynthia.png|thumb|left|250px|Alder flirting with {{an|Cynthia}}]]
Later, Alder stopped a {{p|Gigalith}} that was on a rampage with his bare hands. Afterwards, he removed a nail from its foot that had been causing it pain and fed it some minerals, making it so thankful that it even saved [[Officer Jenny]] from being crushed under a falling monument.

He appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.

[[File:Trip Junior Cup.png|thumb|250px|Alder awarding Trip the Junior Cup]]
In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Alder was one of the hosts of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] alongside [[Freddy O'Martian]]. The winner of the tournament would be given the opportunity to have a battle with him. In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Trip won the tournament by defeating Ash, and as such, he got the right the battle Alder. In their battle, although [[Trip's Serperior]] was shown to be strong, it was no match to {{p|Bouffalant}}. Then, after talking to Trip and petting his Serperior, he was shown along with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Caitlin]], and Freddy O'Martian, talking to the competitors and saying their goodbyes.

He made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', {{an|Iris}} was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Unova League, indicating that Alder no longer holds the title, though it is not made clear as to whether or not he either stepped down from the title or was defeated by Iris.

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

[[File:Unova Rivals.png|thumb|250px|Alder in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]

====Character====
Characterized as strong and wise, Alder is respected as the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. He pays particular attention to children, hoping to inspire them to become {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Alder is also reckless, often leaping into action to save the day like in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', where he approached a rampaging {{p|Gigalith}}.

In his spare time, Alder is typically carefree and relaxed. This extends to the point where he has a habit of sleeping and forgetting things. Much like {{an|Brock}}, he often flirts with women such as [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and {{an|Cynthia}}.

This listing is of Alder's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:
{{TrainerPoké

|vaen=Bill Rogers
|desc=Bouffalant debuted in a flashback of Trip's childhood in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', where it easily defeated a {{p|Herdier}} by using Head Charge. After the battle, Alder gave some [[Pokémon food]] to Trip in order to feed it.

In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Alder sent Bouffalant out to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. However, it was given no commands, and Pikachu hit it with all of his attacks. Frustrated, it then turned to Alder, who had fallen asleep. Due to this, when Alder told Bouffalant to attack, it attacked him instead of Pikachu. Alder then offered it an apple as an apology. Later, Alder sent Bouffalant out to face the rampaging Gigalith, but he then decided to handle the situation himself.

It reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.

In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Bouffalant was used in a battle against [[Trip's Serperior]], and continuing that battle in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', it was revealed to have the [[Ability]] Sap Sipper, rendering Serperior's {{m|Solar Beam}} useless. Although Bouffalant was sent flying by Serperior's {{m|Dragon Tail}}, it recovered quickly and defeated its opponent with Head Charge.

Bouffalant's only known move is {{m|Head Charge}}, and its Ability is {{a|Sap Sipper}}.}}

====Pokémon League====
Alder has competed in the following [[Pokémon League Conference]]s:
* [[Unova League]] - Champion (prior to ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' until sometime before ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'')

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

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Alder Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Alder in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{chap|Black & White}}=====
Alder debuted in ''[[PS463|A Nickname for Tepig]]'', where he was featured in {{adv|Black}}'s imagination when he voiced his desired to conquer the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

He physically debuted in ''[[PS485|Gigi's Choice]]'', where he met [[Marshal]] at [[Nimbasa City]]. They went to meet the Mayor of Nimbasa City and battled to test the newly-created [[Battle Subway]] while waiting for him to arrive. Annoyed the mayor hadn't come even after their battle was finished, Alder went to take a break and play with the [[wild Pokémon]] outside. After returning a day later, Alder found out the mayor arrived while he was away, much to his annoyance. When {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} mocked him for slacking off, Alder claimed he was actually on a spiritual journey.

In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'', Alder and Marshal walked together on {{rt|6|Unova}}, the latter requesting that Alder reconsider stepping down from the position of Pokémon League Champion. They were interrupted by the King of [[Team Plasma]], {{adv|N}}, who insulted the League and challenged Alder to a [[Double Battle]]. Despite Alder's strength, he was eventually defeated by N, who didn't need to use the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}.

After his defeat, Alder vanished and left the [[Elite Four]] to handle the Pokémon League. Team Plasma used N's victory to justify their goal, increasing the amount of released Pokémon and lowering the number of Pokémon League spectators.

====={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
At some point, [[Iris]] succeeded Alder as Unova Champion.

In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Alder, Iris and [[Gorm]] worked together to break out of the [[White Treehollow]], which had been frozen solid by Team Plasma's flying ship, the [[Plasma Frigate]]. The three then set off to join [[Marlon]] and launch a counterattack against Team Plasma.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', {{adv|Whitley}} and N encountered Alder on the Plasma Frigate. Alder revealed that he and {{adv|Looker}} had been battling [[Ghetsis]], but the latter managed to escape and hide himself. N managed to find Ghetsis, but an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart, sending everyone flying. Alder and the others escaped to safety on Black's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, but the Plasma Frigate ended up crashing into the abandoned [[N's Castle]], setting the building on fire and putting the liberated Pokémon Team Plasma left behind in danger. With a combination of {{m|Fire Pledge|Fire}}, {{m|Grass Pledge|Grass}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}}, Black and the others successfully doused the flames.

In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Alder attended the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] graduation ceremony, where he watched [[Benga]] and his classmates graduate.

{{cleanup|section}}
[[File:Alder FAT.png|thumb|200px|Alder in Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]]
Alder appears in [[Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]]. He is a man with multiple personalities and describes himself as a burning man. He first appears in shadow at the Pokémon League destroyed by {{p|Zekrom}}, as N declares that he is next, having defeated all of the members of the [[Elite Four]]. On a news broadcast some time later about N's conquest of [[Unova]], he is reported missing. Calling himself an old man passing by, he throws Shin into a {{p|Trubbish}} dump to ask him to look for a very important thing with a (Japanese: ア) written on it that he has lost.

He declares that Shin cannot beat N and then abandons Shin to watch him battle from a nearby rooftop. While Shin is battling, he randomly finds a [[Hyper Potion]] with a written on it hidden in his {{p|Emboar}}'s tail, which Alder claims is his present to Shin. After the battle ends, Shin asks who he is, and he reveals he is Champion of Unova, that he has known who Shin is all along, and that Shin should have the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Reshiram}}.

He leads Shin to the [[Relic Castle]] in the [[Desert Resort]] where he says the [[Light Stone]] lies, inside showing him ancient drawings depicting the Hero and his Original Pokémon, and the war between the two brothers. Upon reaching the Light Stone, he attacks Shin with his {{p|Volcarona}} and claims it for himself, saying that he left the Elite Four behind as decoys to take Reshiram for himself, so that he alone will be able to stay in Unova once N cleanses it of people.

Challenging Shin that if he can lay a single finger on the Light Stone he will give it to him, he begins a harsh battle against Shin with his flawless Volcarona. After defeating Shin and trapping him in a cage of fire, he says that Alder is weak for keeping Reshiram all to himself, and breaks through Volcarona's fire cage to grab the Light Stone.

Alder's personality reverts to normal and he says that it was all a trial suggested by N to get the Light Stone to accept him as a hero, and as Shin flies away on Reshiram, Alder suggests that once everything is over they should battle again, claiming that he won't lose again, as he bids farewell to the Hero of Fire.

|desc={{p|Volcarona}} is Alder's only known Pokémon. It was used to battle Shin at the [[Relic Castle]], defeating and then being defeated by Shin's {{p|Emboar}}. Alder claims it to be flawless with its perfect attacks and defense, and each of its six wings can separately release and manipulate its own flame to create a cage of fire.

Volcarona's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Quiver Dance}}, and {{m|Fire Spin}}.}}

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Black and White|s}}, Alder speaks in old-fashioned Japanese.
* Alder is the only regional {{pkmn|Champion}} who is not battled during the main story. This is due to [[Team Plasma]]'s activities, which are preventing the battle the {{player}} would have with Alder after beating the Elite Four for the first time.
* While he does not state that he specializes in any specific [[type]], three of his six Pokémon are {{type|Bug}} in the teams he uses outside of the Pokémon World Tournament.
* Alder is the only Champion to exclusively use Pokémon that were introduced in the same generation as himself in all of his in-game appearances.
* In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], Alder uses one Pokémon representing each of the {{DL|Elite Four|Unova Elite Four}}: a {{p|Chandelure}} for [[Shauntal]], a {{p|Krookodile}} for [[Grimsley]], a {{p|Reuniclus}} for [[Caitlin]], and a {{p|Conkeldurr}} for [[Marshal]].
* Alder shares his battle theme with three other characters ([[Ingo]], [[Emmet]], and [[Benga]]), more than any other Champion.
* In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, due to an oversight, if the player talks to Alder after battling [[Hugh]] in [[Floccesy Ranch]] and before finding the {{p|Herdier}}, he will say that the player needs to give Hugh their [[Town Map]], which the player already did.
* According to "Pokémon Dream" magazine, Alder was originally going to have a more "{{wp|Christ (title)|Christ}}-like" design.{{fact}}
* The reason Alder carries more than six [[Poké Ball]]s with him is because, according to an interview with [[Yusuke Ohmura]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] in a 2010 article of the Japanese magazine "Nintendo Dream", he never figured out how to operate the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Alder is the only Champion, current or former, who was never seen losing an onscreen {{pkmn|battle}}.
* {{p|Volcarona}}, Alder's signature Pokémon in the games, has not been confirmed to be a part of his [[Party|team]] in the main anime, although it has appeared in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] miniseries.

'''Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ゲーチス・ハルモニア・グロピウス|Gēchisu Harumonia Guropiusu}}''' ''G-Cis Harmonia Gropius'') is one of the [[Seven Sages]] and the true mastermind behind [[Team Plasma]].

==In the core series==
{{spoilers}}
Ghetsis first appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}, holding a speech in [[Accumula Town]], where he is trying to rally its citizens. After that, he appears at several points in the game, trying to warn the citizens of the oncoming change, and he is often the one that comes to rescue other [[Seven Sages]] if they are nearing arrest. After the player and [[Alder]] come to the Relic Castle he is already there and tells them that if they are to battle N, they must retrieve the [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|Bl}}/[[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}}. He also appears making a similar speech to his one in Accumula Town in [[Opelucid City]]. He later appears at the castle during [[N]]'s takeover and taunts the player before battling N. After the player defeats N, he reveals he has been using N and revived {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}} for N to use, and calls N a disappointment. He reveals that his and Team Plasma's motive for stealing Pokémon was a lie all along and that Ghetsis wanted to ensure that he was the only person in Unova with Pokémon, so he could dominate the region (this was previously foreshadowed by him referring to himself during speeches referring to Team Plasma's goals before correcting himself and saying Team Plasma). According to a Grunt in the castle, he was even learning of ways to manipulate hearts of people. Alder and [[Cheren]] both hear the truth from Ghetsis. Ghetsis battles the player in a rage, despite N's protest. After the battle, Alder and Cheren arrest Ghetsis and take him away. He is not seen again in this game.

During the post-game, Cheren reveals that the [[Shadow Triad]] had helped Ghetsis to escape. When the player meets the Shadow Triad for the final time on [[Marvelous Bridge]], they reveal that Ghetsis is currently on the run. He has lost everything, including his Pokémon, and only the Shadow Triad are still loyal to him. For some reason, he has ordered the Shadow Triad to stop looking for him and deliver the player the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]], [[Lustrous Orb|Lustrous]], and [[Griseous Orb]]s.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Ghetsis is revealed to be the true mastermind behind the new Team Plasma, which had seemingly been led by [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad. After Colress is defeated, Ghetsis confronts the player and angrily denounces Colress as being more interested in science than in Team Plasma's ambitions, even after being appointed as the organization's official leader. He leaves the player to fight the Shadow Triad while he enters the [[Giant Chasm]] with {{p|Kyurem}}. By the time the player catches up with him, Ghetsis has prepared his plan to freeze all of [[Unova]]. He summons Kyurem to his side and orders it to use {{m|Glaciate}} on the player, only for N to arrive with Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} and interfere. This however was part of Ghetsis's plan, and while berating N for causing what will happen to Unova as a result of N's refusal to be his pawn in the previous games, Ghetsis uses the [[DNA Splicers]] to forcibly revert Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} into its [[Dragon Stones|stone form]]. Kyurem then fuses with the stone, creating Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis challenges the player to fight Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}, preventing it from being captured via a signal from his cane that disrupts the function of [[Poké Ball]]s. Upon the defeat of Kyurem, its Absofusion is reversed, separating it back into Kyurem and Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis flies into a rage and attacks the player, starting a final battle. When he is defeated, he suffers a mental breakdown and violently rejects the compassion N shows him. The Shadow Triad take him away from the Giant Chasm and later inform the player that Ghetsis has lost his heart and is no longer mentally capable of any further criminal deeds, finally ending his threat to Unova.

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Ghetsis, as he appears in Pokémon Black and White, appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. This Ghetsis, like the other members of Team Rainbow Rocket, was brought from a world where his plans succeeded (successfully separating Pokémon from humans). After arriving in the game's world, Ghetsis began pondering the reasons for his being summoned. He then concluded that his purpose was to travel between worlds and liberate all Pokémon from people, consolidating power in himself so that he may rule over all of existence. For this purpose, he intends to use [[Giovanni]] as a pawn, reasoning that a human with an evil nature will be easier to manipulate than [[N|a freak without a human heart]]. Refusing to allow the player to reach Giovanni and interfere with his plans, Ghetsis challenges the player, using Zekrom{{sup/7|US}}/Reshiram{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. After being beaten, he refuses to accept his loss and strikes [[Lillie]], taking her as a hostage. Ghetsis demands that the player throw down their Poké Balls if they wish to ensure Lillie's safety. No matter the player's choice, [[Colress]] appears in the room, rescues Lillie, and recognizes Ghetsis as not being the Ghetsis he knows. Ghetsis recognizes him as the Colress of the game's world, but fails to understand why he is opposing his plans, prompting Colress to declare that he simply hates Ghetsis altogether. Colress then utilizes a newly developed device to warp Ghetsis back to his original world.

===Main series===
[[File:Ghetsis anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Ghetsis in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ghetsis is the head and founder of Team Plasma, often referred to as "Lord Ghetsis" by his underlings. He serves as the main antagonist of the ''Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N'' arc.

Prior to the events of the anime, Ghetsis, the [[Seven Sages]] and the rest of Team Plasma resided in [[N's Castle|a mansion]] where {{an|N}}, [[Anthea and Concordia]] were raised in isolation from humanity, only allowing them contact with each other and Pokémon that had been abused by humans. Ghetsis, presenting himself as a fatherly figure to N, informed the boy that he would grow up to become Team Plasma's greatest leader in their crusade against Pokémon oppression. These plans ultimately came to a head two years before the events of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', when Ghetsis summoned N to stand before the Seven Sages in a ceremony on the mansion's balcony. However, sensing Ghetsis's corrupt intent, {{an|Reshiram}} interrupted the ceremony and destroyed the mansion before flying away. In the confusion, N escaped with Anthea and Concordia, all three realizing Ghetsis's deception as a result of these events.

Ghetsis first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', where he contacted [[Colress]] via hologram transmitter for an update on the Pokémon control experiments being conducted at the [[Floccesy Town]] observatory. During their conversation, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} and [[Looker]] approached the observatory, and Ghetsis gave Colress permission to test the Pokémon being used in the experiment on them.

Ghetsis made his physical debut in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', receiving another update on the Pokémon control experiment from Colress. Later, from his command center, Ghetsis spoke to several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, who had separated into groups to spy on [[Cedric Juniper]]'s excavation of the {{an|White Ruins}}, search for N and the mysterious "[[Genesect Army|Project G]]" and develop "Project F" in eastern [[Unova]]. He again conferenced with Colress and [[Aldith]] in [[BW118|the next episode]], and appeared in flashbacks to the past that N revealed to Ash and his friends.
[[File:BW121 Ceremony.png|thumb|250px|Conducting the Ceremony of Revival]]
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Ghetsis met with Colress, Aldith, and [[Barret]] via hologram, revealing his plans for the [[Light Stone]] and telling Colress that his control device would soon need to control its most powerful target yet.

Ghetsis briefly appeared via communicator with Colress in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'' before arriving at the White Ruins in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]''. With his followers having subdued Team Plasma's enemies, Ghetsis took the Light Stone and placed it on a pedestal in the ruins, then used his staff to initiate the ritual leading to Reshiram's awakening. In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Ghetsis successfully summoned Reshiram and, with the help of Colress's machine, took control of it. He turned its power against his enemies and sent it on a rampage, but when {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to resist the control device and shock Reshiram, it escaped Ghetsis's control. He angrily reproached Reshiram for its rebellion, only to have his escape route cut off when Reshiram destroyed Team Plasma's aircraft. Ghetsis and his henchmen were ultimately arrested by Looker, and he was last seen in the back of a police van with Colress, Aldith and Barret, slumped over in defeat.

====Character====
While Ghetsis frequently projects a calm demeanor, it is an act designed to mask his true nature as a mad, power-hungry tyrant. His persona is seen to easily slip when his goals are delayed or he feels frustrated, such as by Colress's more casual attitude towards Team Plasma's objectives, causing him to become much more serious and demanding. He cares little for even his most faithful followers, allowing them to be caught up in Reshiram's rampage once he gained control of it via Colress's device. When he faces opposition he easily flies into an enraged state that causes him to take reckless action, even screaming angrily at Reshiram after losing control over it despite having no way to subdue it. After facing defeat, however, he finally gave up and was left silent by his failure as the police took him away.

|desc={{main|Reshiram (anime)}}

Ghetsis first summoned {{p|Reshiram}} in a ceremony two years prior to the events in the anime. However, his plan to control it failed, as his goals led Reshiram to become enraged and destroy Team Plasma's mansion before flying away. These events were recounted by N in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', N surrendered the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Colress releasing Ash's Pikachu from his control. Ghetsis then arrived at the White Ruins and initiated the ceremony, resulting in Reshiram's resurrection in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. This time, Ghetsis had Colress use his Pokémon Control Device on Reshiram, placing it under Team Plasma's control. Ghetsis ordered it to go on a rampage, turning its power on both his enemies and his own followers, but when Pikachu fought Colress's control and shocked it, Reshiram began to regain its free will.

Reshiram helped Pikachu destroy the machine, freeing all the controlled Pokémon, but then went on an even more violent rampage, stopping only when N managed to talk it down. Ghetsis still refused to admit defeat, however, admonishing Reshiram for disobeying him. After Ghetsis was captured along with the other members of Team Plasma, N came to understand Reshiram's motivations, and it departed peacefully.}}

[[File:Ghetsis Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Ghetsis in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Ghetsis B2W2 Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Ghetsis in the eleventh chapter]]
====History====
====={{chap|Black & White}}=====
Ghetsis debuted in ''[[PS466|An Odd Speech]]''. At [[Accumula Town]], Ghetsis introduced [[Team Plasma]] and their campaign to the general public. He gave a speech encouraging the townspeople to liberate their Pokémon and return them to the wild. While some chose to ignore his words, several people were swayed by Ghetsis's words and proceeded to release their Pokémon.

In ''[[PS495|The Battle Within]]'', the [[Seven Sages]] watched as the [[Shadow Triad]] and Unova [[Gym Leader]]s battled for possession of the [[Dark Stone]]. Ghetsis left, revealing he was going to [[Nacrene City]] to join the battle. In ''[[PS497|Finding Truth]]'', Black was tricked by a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} in disguise into revealing where the Dark Stone was kept. Once the stone was located, Ghetsis attacked Black with his {{p|Eelektross}}, knocking him unconscious. Ghetsis took the Dark Stone to N at the [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he proceeded to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}.

In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Team Plasma launched their attack on the {{un|Pokémon League}}, surrounding the building with [[N's Castle]]. As a form of mockery and display of Team Plasma's power, the [[Gym Leader]]s were hoisted on cross-like fixtures and displayed in front of the masses. While Black went ahead to face N, a group of regular Trainers led by {{tc|Hiker}} Andy fought the sages in his place, eventually succeeding in freeing the Gym Leaders. Outnumbered, the sages fled, but Ghetsis chose to sneak into the castle, where N and Black were having their final battle.

In ''[[PS523|The Power of Dreams]]'', Ghetsis found N unconscious, having already lost to Black. Ghetsis revealed his connection to N and that he had been manipulating his adoptive son as a pawn in his scheme to make Pokémon illegal for everyone other than Team Plasma. He attacked Black, hoping to silence him and prevent the public from ever learning of N's defeat. Black struggled initially due to Ghetsis's team being tailored to counter his own, but with his {{p|Musharna}}, [[Musha]], Black uncovered and defeated Ghetsis's secret weapon—a {{p|Volcarona}}. Once the rest of Ghetsis' team had fallen, Black had the sage trapped in a prison of {{m|Stone Edge}} pillars, putting an end to Team Plasma's ideals.

In ''[[PS524|A Difficult Parting]]'', Ghetsis watched as N bid his farewells to Black and {{adv|White}} before leaving. Once N left, Black's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}} began reverting into the [[Light Stone]]. Ghetsis used [[Colress]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}} to free himself from the prison and send Black flying towards Reshiram, preventing him from being trapped inside of the Light Stone as well.

====={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', Colress revealed that Ghetsis is still an active member of Team Plasma, though he had given up his leadership to the scientist.

In ''[[PS538|Therian Forme III]]'', Ghetsis arrived at [[Driftveil City]], where he found Colress in battle with {{adv|Blake}}. Using his [[Colress Machine]], Colress took control of [[Zinzolin]]'s {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} and had it loaded onto Team Plasma's flying ship, the [[Plasma Frigate]]. The frigate was flown to [[Castelia City]], where it used a special Kyurem-powered cannon to freeze several buildings and people solid.

In ''[[PS542|N Returns]]'', Ghetsis and Colress found that N had returned to Unova due to Zekrom being attracted to Kyurem's growing power. Ghetsis took command of Kyurem and set out to battle with his former son. Upon being warned to not let his paternal feelings get the better of him, Ghetsis assured Colress that he never felt any sort of attachment towards N.

In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', Ghetsis obtained the [[DNA Splicers]], which allowed Kyurem to revert Zekrom back into the Dark Stone, trapping N inside with it. Kyurem absorbed the Dark Stone, transforming it into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}. Reacting to Zekrom's absorption, the Light Stone reverted into Reshiram, freeing Black in the process. Black and White briefly fought Kyurem, but were distracted when N was ejected from the Dark Stone, giving Ghetsis the chance to attack and escape. Not wanting N to interfere with his control over Kyurem, Ghetsis knocked him off of Kyurem's back, sending him into the ocean below. Unbeknownst to Ghetsis, Colress secretly took N aboard the Plasma Frigate, curious about his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.

In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Ghetsis and Colress followed Kyurem, who had started moving towards the [[Giant Chasm]] of its own free will. Noticing the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} were giving chase, Ghetsis ordered the Shadow Triad to attack them.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Ghetsis was confronted by {{adv|Whitley}}, N, [[Alder]], and {{adv|Looker}} deep within the Plasma Frigate. N stated he intended to take all the Pokémon stolen by Team Plasma and return them to where they properly belonged. Ghetsis denied this, declaring that he'd rather die along with his dream than live as a prisoner. He activated a self-destruct mechanism, causing an explosion that tore the Plasma Frigate apart from the inside, sending everyone flying. Ghetsis was saved by N, who stated that despite everything, he still loved Ghetsis as a father. Disgusted, Ghetsis rejected N's love, calling him a monster while beating his former son unconscious and bleeding. As he plummeted towards the ground, Ghetsis laughed at his villainy, only to be surprised when he was caught by Zekrom, who delivers him into Looker's custody.

Later, as he was being arrested by the [[International Police]], Ghetsis swore to one day return and restart his ambition to manipulate and lead the people. Whitley assured Ghetsis that his schemes would never succeed, stating that even if he were to somehow fool humans into following him, the Pokémon hurt by Team Plasma wouldn't be tricked and would never forgive him. Noticing the liberated Pokémon had begun to glare at him with anger in their eyes, Ghetsis fearfully broke down and walked into the police helicopter for his own safety.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ghetsis right arm.png|thumb|Ghetsis's right arm in the {{game|Black and White|s}} [[game intro]]]]
* During a fan meeting event held in the Yokohama Pokémon Center on August 5, 2012, [[Junichi Masuda]] revealed that Ghetsis's full name was initially '''G-Cis Harmonia Gropius''' (ゲーツィス・ハルモニア・グロピウス). Note the different Katakana spelling for his first name.
* Ghetsis was designed by [[Keiko Moritsugu]].<ref name=ghetsisdesign>[http://bystrousky.blogspot.com/2019/07/blog-post.html?m=1]</ref>
* The top of Ghetsis's robes in his {{2v2|Black|White}} appearance resemble the {{wp|battlement}}s of a castle.
* Ghetsis has several unique attributes:
** He is the only [[villainous team]] leader in the [[core series]] games that uses a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** He is the only villainous team leader in the core series to wield a full team of six Pokémon against the player.
** He is the only antagonist in the core series games to try to incapacitate the player. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, he attempts to have Kyurem {{status|freeze}} the player with {{m|Glaciate}}, but that move cannot cause freezing when used in battle. Before the English releases of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, this threat was mistranslated by various sources as a threat to kill and impale the player using Kyurem's icicles.
** He is the only villainous team leader in the anime to be arrested successfully at the conclusion of his plot.
** He is the only one out of all the core series villainous team leaders who is never battled more than once per game.
** He is the only villainous team leader to serve as the final main game opponent in a core series game.
*** He was also the first final main game opponent to not be a Champion in the core series games.
* Ghetsis is one of five Trainers to battle the player with more than six Pokémon. The others are [[Greevil]] in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Volo]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], and [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]].
* Ghetsis is 2.00 m (6'6") tall.
* In Black 2 and White 2, all of Ghetsis's Pokémon he also had in Black and White are two levels lower in Normal Mode and six levels lower in Easy Mode. However, they are two levels higher in Challenge Mode.
* Ghetsis's right arm is almost always concealed. In the games, it is only seen in Pokémon Black and White's [[game intro]], where it is shaded darker than his left arm, while in the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is not seen at all. In [[Pokémon Generations]], both of his arms appear to be fully functional, albeit he still primarily uses the left one. In [[Pokémon Evolutions]], which features animated adaptations of many scenes from Black and White, he is depicted with both arms intact, but is seen wearing a dark glove over his right hand and arm.
** In Black 2 and White 2, Ghetsis mentions that he is going to take the player down with his "own hand" in singular, instead of "hand'''s'''" in plural.
** If {{mas|Ghetsis}}'s model in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] is viewed with his cape removed, it can be seen that his right arm is intact and is usually held behind his back. The model cannot be viewed in this fashion in normal gameplay, but his right arm can be glimpsed in some animations.<ref>https://twitter.com/PokeMasModels/status/1404594315364651013</ref> The [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center]] Boss Pikachu plush of Ghetsis also has its right arm in a similar position.
** In addition to this, his right eye remains hidden by an eyepiece. In the games, he also appears to have trouble moving the right side of his mouth, as shown by his in-game sprites and models.
** Early concept art for Ghetsis depicts him without his eyepiece and shows that his right eye has a scar around it.
* Ghetsis's anime incarnation appears to combine traits of his two video game incarnations. His personality is similar to his characterization in Black and White, but his outfit and open motives are taken from Black 2 and White 2.
** Ghetsis was to appear with his Black and White design in [[BW024 (unaired)|the originally intended 24th episode]], but it was indefinitely postponed and its events later retconned out of continuity.
* Ghetsis bears some resemblance to Giovanni in his goals of world domination, a focus on Pokémon theft, uncaring and selfish parenthood, and the degradation of his sanity after being twice defeated by a child. However, Giovanni is shown to have mentally recovered in Black 2 and White 2, whereas it is left unclear if Ghetsis will ever recover.
* In Black and White, Ghetsis's Hydreigon has a super effective move against all of N's Pokémon in his final team.
* Ghetsis's Hydreigon is the only NPC Pokémon to have minimum [[friendship]], and is, therefore, the only one to use {{m|Frustration}} with maximum power.
* Until the release of the music video [[GOTCHA!]] in September 2020, all of Ghetsis's appearances in animation depicted his {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} design. His original design was seen as a shadow in the music video, and later made its first full appearance in [[Pokémon Evolutions]].
* Ghetsis's cloak in Black and White and the fact he always has one eye covered may be inspired by {{wp|Balor}}, a figure in Irish folklore. Some tales state that Balor has anywhere from one to three eyes, one of which is described as "poisonous." Balor's grandson {{wp|Lugh}} is said to always put out this evil eye, which may be reflected in the eye Ghetsis keeps covered by his monocle.

Lyla was first seen approaching [[Sterling]] after he had defeated two other Challengers whilst taking part in the battle royale [[Field Research|Trial Mission]] at [[Sea Mauville]]. Lyla proposed teaming up with Sterling to pass the mission, which he accepted. They continued to explore Sea Mauville, defeating fellow challengers and evading the {{p|Roselia}} and {{p|Magby}} that [[Danika]] unleashed to make the mission harder.

Later, they came across [[Goh]] and [[Horace]] and made them think that Lyla's {{p|Liepard}} was injured. This was soon revealed to be a trick, allowing Sterling and Lyla to attack Horace's {{p|Gardevoir}}, causing it serious [[damage]]. Lyla teamed up with Sterling to battle [[Goh's Inteleon]], but Goh was successful in defeating Liepard, causing Lyla to fail the mission. Lyla then joined with all the other challengers when Danika and received a video message from [[Quillon]].

'''Gary Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・シゲル''' ''Shigeru Okido'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon Researcher]] from [[Pallet Town]] and grandson of {{an|Professor Oak}}. He is a childhood friend of [[Ash Ketchum]] and his main [[rival]] in the [[original series]]. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', he serves as [[Goh]]'s rival in [[Project Mew]]. His Japanese name is derived from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|220px|Young Gary]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Gary has been a neighbor of [[Ash Ketchum]] since they were both young. At one time, they seemed to be friends and went to see movies together, as seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

Shortly before beginning their journeys, Gary and Ash found an old {{i|Poké Ball}} while [[fishing]]. The two boys began fighting over who would get to keep the Poké Ball but ended up breaking it in half. Since then, they decided to keep the two separate pieces for themselves. It was revealed in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' that they still carried the pieces with them.

=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Gary Oak debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Gary's first appearance]]
Gary debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where he went to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] along with two other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s before {{Ash}} did. After choosing his [[starter Pokémon]], he left [[Pallet Town]] with his {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}} on a sporty red convertible, refusing to tell Ash which Pokémon he had chosen.

Gary made quick progress through his Pokémon journey, much to Ash's annoyance. He breezed through the {{gy|Pewter}} and {{gy|Cerulean}} [[Gym]]s prior to ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. It was also revealed in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' that Gary had also defeated [[Samurai]] in a battle.

Gary made a brief appearance in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', where he exited a town store, accidentally knocking Ash out in the process. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} revealed to Ash that Gary had already caught 45 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, compared to Ash's team of seven. Professor Oak also revealed that Gary's Pokémon included a much larger {{p|Krabby}} than the {{AP|Krabby}} that Ash caught that episode.

In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', Gary hopped onstage during the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]] and attempted to insult Ash in front of the gathered crowd.

In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', Gary was one of the Trainers who decided to help out the [[foreman]] in getting rid of the {{p|Diglett}} affecting construction at [[Gaiva Dam]]. Gary attempted to send out a Pokémon to battle the Diglett, but it did not exit the {{i|Poké Ball}}, and a Diglett returned it to him. He tried to send out his other Pokémon, though they also did not leave their Poké Balls and were returned to him by the Diglett. Realizing that his Pokémon did not want to battle the Diglett, he deemed it pointless to stay and left with his cheerleaders in their convertible.

In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Gary went digging for [[Fossil]]s in [[Grampa Canyon]]. As soon as Gary starts, he finds something he thinks is a Fossil. However, when one of the members of the excavation team takes a closer look, he realizes that it is a Pokémon's dung. Later, when an {{p|Aerodactyl}} gets out of control, Gary is one of those affected by {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song that puts everyone to sleep. At the end of the day, when [[Officer Jenny]] decides to close the archaeological site, Gary is suspicious of the excuse given for the presence of the Fossil Pokémon that were out of control.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Gary was on vacation rather than bothering to challenge the local [[Cinnabar Gym]]. When Gary is confronted by Ash, he reveals to his rival that there has been no Gym in [[Cinnabar Island]] for several years. Later, Gary finds Ash again while [[Ash's friends|Ash's group]] was looking for a place to stay, trying to humiliate Ash, Gary offers food in exchange for Ash to do what he asks. Soon after, Jigglypuff appears and thinking it's a show, Gary and the cheerleaders end up falling asleep, which makes the Balloon Pokémon angry.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', he revealed that he had already received ten [[Badge]]s. He then went to the challenge the {{gy|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}. At first he seemed to be winning, knocking out his {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Kingler}} with his {{p|Nidoking}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, respectively. However, the tide of the battle turned when Giovanni sent out {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} (disguised in armor). Though Gary was allowed to use both his Pokémon against him, Mewtwo made quick work of Gary's team, and he lost the battle. When Ash and his friends later entered the Gym, they found Gary and his cheerleaders lying unconscious on the floor. Once Ash revived him, Gary warned Ash about that Pokémon's power. He asserted that Giovanni's mysterious Pokémon was not only powerful, but also evil—and that no Trainer would ever beat it. Gary then watched Ash battle {{TRT}}, who had appeared as the temporary Gym Leaders and invited Ash to challenge them. During the battle, he tackles {{MTR}} to prevent him from using a remote to detonate the platform where Ash stood. He also admits that Ash is a good Trainer after watching his team defeating all the Pokémon that Team Rocket used. Following the battle, Gary flees the collapsing Gym with the others.

In ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary returned to Pallet Town and headed to the lobby of Professor Oak's Laboratory. The grandfather mentioned to both Ash and Gary that they were the top Trainers, noting the other two couldn't compare with their battling skills. Professor Oak then showed Gary's collection of Pokémon to Ash. Although he had seen more Pokémon, Gary had managed to catch a far greater amount. After Team Rocket was defeated, he promised Ash that they would have their battle at the Pokémon League.

[[File:Gary and Oak.png|thumb|220px|Gary and his grandfather]]
In ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', Gary met up with Ash in the Pokémon League in [[Indigo Plateau]]. He departed the area after claiming he would get ''Loseritis''. The next day, he was seen in the stadium with the other Trainers and Ash. Gary did not stay that long as his opponent, [[Melissa]], defeated his Nidoking using her Golem, which eliminated him from the Pokémon League. Following the loss, he left on another journey.

Gary eventually returned from that journey in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Much unlike his former self, he congratulated Ash on his victory in the [[Orange League]]. Ash challenged him to a battle in the [[EP116|next episode]] with {{AP|Pikachu}} as his choice. Gary in turn used his {{TP|Gary|Eevee}}. Gary managed to defeat Ash and then left on his journey through [[Johto]].

Ash and his friends encountered Gary on their way to [[Violet City]] in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''. Gary recommended they find themselves a {{p|Hoothoot}} to avoid becoming lost in the particularly disorientating forest before leaving to continue catching more Pokémon.
[[File:Gary Oak OS.png|thumb|left|220px|Gary in the original series]]
In ''[[EP171|Power Play]]'', he battled a Trainer named [[Alex Davis]] with his {{p|Umbreon}}, which had [[Evolution|evolved]] from his Eevee prior. Gary was able to defeat Alex and his {{p|Alakazam}}. The battle made Ash want to challenge Gary next, but he refused and walked off. Ash sent out his other Pokémon to battle Umbreon, but Gary had already left. From their campsite, Gary and Umbreon noticed a blackout in a town Ash and his friends were in. The two jumped into the rescue of the Power Plant when it was attacked by the Team Rocket trio with their Robo-Mecha {{p|Wobbuffet}}. Following the mecha's defeat, Gary worked with Ash and his friends to get the power back on.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', he was practicing with Arcanine for the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]]. He then entered the race and competed against Ash and his {{AP|Bayleef}}. They were both in the lead, though Ash was able to narrowly win the event.

Gary arrived in {{jo|Silver Town}} in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'' to compete in the [[Silver Conference]]. He greeted Ash and exchanged pleasantries, promising to get to the top and defeat him. Gary was able to get past the screening round along with Ash and {{jo|Harrison}}.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' and ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', he battled Ash in an intense [[Full Battle]]. In the final round, Ash ended up winning the battle when his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated Gary's Blastoise, eliminating him from the tournament. Afterwards, Gary continued to support Ash's campaign from the sidelines.

By ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', Gary decided that he didn't want to be a Pokémon Trainer anymore, but instead a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon researcher]] like his grandfather. Gary managed to reach Pallet Town a few days before Ash, and as he was preparing to leave for his next venture with just his Blastoise, Ash encountered him in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''. Gary's fresh start approach inspired Ash's desire to travel to [[Hoenn]].

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
Gary appeared in a flashback to Ash's childhood in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', Gary was revealed to be working on [[Sayda Island]] as a [[Fossil]] researcher with [[Dora]], head of the Sayda Lab. There, he revived an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from an [[Old Amber]]. At first, the Aerodactyl was afraid of him and every other person on the island. However, Gary gained its trust after he fed it some fruit that Aerodactyl used to eat. Afterwards, Dora announced that Gary could now work full-time at the Sayda Lab.

Eventually, he moved to the [[Sinnoh]] region, where he was conducting his research. He sent a postcard to Ash from there in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', which motivated him to not to get himself down after a loss and keep fighting, much like he did during their rivalry.

In ''[[AG192|Home Is Where The Start Is!]]'', Gary reunited with Ash. He battled him with his {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} and defeated Ash's Pikachu once more.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====

During his time in Sinnoh, Gary became an assistant of [[Professor Rowan]]. As before, Gary conducts his research on rare Pokémon, including [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] and [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Gary demonstrated more maturity and more respect for other people, especially Ash. Upon meeting him, {{an|Dawn}} thought that he was a poet like his {{an|Professor Oak|grandfather}}.
[[File:Gary Oak DP.png|thumb|250px|Gary in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']]
In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', he was taking care of a group of {{p|Shieldon}} and protected them from [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her minions]]. Gary and Ash were forced to join forces to defeat the enemy, even though Ash had been against it. However, thanks to the efforts of the two they managed to save Shieldon from the hands of J.

He appeared again in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', where he helped Ash and {{AP|Gligar}} by giving a [[Razor Fang]] to Ash. This caused Gligar to [[Evolution|evolve]] later on. He was in the area after hearing rumors of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, whom Ash had seen earlier at [[Lake Valor]].

Gary later appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', working alongside Professor Rowan at [[Valor Lakefront]] where he attempted to protect Azelf from J and [[Team Galactic]]; however, he was unable to defeat [[Saturn]] in battle. He later monitored the changes around [[Mt. Coronet]] caused by [[Cyrus]]'s attempts to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Gary and Professor Rowan later arrived to collect the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s after Ash's group and {{an|Cynthia}} handled Team Galactic.

It's [[JN068|later revealed]] that Gary followed Ash's attendance at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], in particular, the battle between him and [[Paul]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
Gary later reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Gary Pokemon.png|250px|thumb|left|Gary in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'']]
Gary reappeared in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', using his Blastoise to save Ash and [[Goh]] from an {{p|Onix}} that Goh failed to catch. While reuniting with Ash, Gary revealed that he had left Sinnoh to travel the world to research Pokémon. After being introduced to Goh, he let both of them know that he is pursuing the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Moltres}}, while Ash told him that he was looking for his lost {{AP|Infernape}}. They both agreed to help each other with their respective tasks.

After a bit of journeying, they arrived in a valley, where they found both Infernape and Moltres, and proceeded to battle the latter. After an intense match, they managed to damage Moltres enough to force it to retreat, while Gary retrieved a burning feather that it had dropped. Back at Professor Oak's Laboratory, Gary was revealed to be participating in [[Project Mew]], with retrieving a Moltres feather having been his [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. Gary subsequently left to continue his research.
[[File:Goh and Gary.png|thumb|250px|Gary and Goh]]
Gary reappeared in ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', where he briefly met Ash and Goh as they arrived in Sinnoh for Goh's first Project Mew mission.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Gary was seen at the [[Seafoam Islands]] in search of an {{p|Articuno}}. On finding Articuno, Gary took part in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In the anime|Raid Battle]] with Ash, Goh, and [[Horace]], using {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}, and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, only for Articuno to eventually fly away. Despite this, Gary managed to obtain Tokens for the mission and an extra Token for leading the battle, a short time later, before going his way Gary had a brief conversation with Goh about the posture a Challenger should have.

In ''[[JN110|Narrowing the Chaser Chase!]]'', Goh was informed that Gary was on another mission led by [[Quillon]]. Shortly after the conclusion of the [[Sea Mauville]] battle royale, Quillon informed [[Danika]] that Gary had successfully completed his mission. In the display of the current Project Mew Challenger placings, Gary was revealed to be the highest-ranked Challenger in Project Mew with a total of 12 tokens.

In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', Gary assisted Goh in the final Trial Mission at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]]. After defeating [[Lyla]] and [[Sterling]], they teamed up to take on {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, with both of them successfully catching one of them and officially becoming Chasers afterwards.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Gary met with the other members of Project Mew in [[Slateport City]] to begin the final expedition. During the meeting, Gary talked to Goh about Ash's final battle in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', he was briefly seen together with the other members of Project Mew during the climax of Ash's battle against Leon.

In ''[[JN133|The Mew from Here!]]'' and ''[[JN134|In the Palms of our Hands!]]'', Gary and the other members of Project Mew explored [[Faraway Island]] in their search for {{an|Mew}}, eventually succeeding in finding it. After this, Project Mew was disbanded.

In ''[[JN136|These Could be the Starts of Something Big!]]'', Gary and Horace were seen being greeted by {{an|Professor Oak}} at the entrance to his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]].

Gary reunited with Ash again in [[JN147]]. After rescuing a trapped {{p|Charmander}}, Gary congratulated Ash on winning the [[World Coronation Series]]. After questioning Ash about what his next step would be from now on, Gary went on the journey alongside Umbreon.

====Character====
[[File:Ash and Gary.png|thumb|250px|left|Gary and Ash]]
The day he started out on his [[Pokémon journey]], he came off as an arrogant {{pkmn|Trainer}}, much like his {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}. His chosen [[starter Pokémon]] was {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, which was actually the same Pokémon that {{Ash}} originally wanted to start with. He even had a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. He didn't walk on his journeys like most Trainers did; instead, he had his own sporty red convertible with a chauffeur. Gary loved when he got a chance to make fun of Ash by bragging about how far behind Ash was compared to him. He also gave Ash the pet name of "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: {{tt|"Satoshi''-kun''"|Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name and ''-kun'' is a Japanese honorific, kun can be considered insulting when not used among friends}}), which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to capture many Pokémon and to use the strongest, as a stark contrast to Ash, who focused on developing a bond with his Pokémon.

His arrogance continued over time during Ash's journey in [[Kanto]] until he challenged the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}, to a Pokémon battle for his final (but unnecessary) [[Badge]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where he was brutally defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. However, this still didn't change his arrogance. It would take a loss at the [[Pokémon League]] way later on against [[Melissa]] for him to finally realize that he greatly needed to change himself. Following his loss, Gary would become more polite and respectful of others, no longer showing any of his arrogant and extravagant tendencies from the past. This change in attitude would continue to be apparent throughout his few appearances during the [[Johto]] season.

As Ash's first and longest [[rival]], his relationship and rivalry with Ash would prove to play a pivotal role on the latter's outlook as a Trainer. Despite his low opinion of Ash, Gary would make a point to show off his superiority in every way he could during his earlier appearances. The duo's dynamic would see a major change once Gary was abruptly eliminated in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], with Gary growing humble and ceasing his arrogance and antagonistic attitude towards Ash, though he would still tease him at times. By the time of the [[Silver Conference]], Ash and Gary would have a more amiable relationship with one another while still maintaining a sense of rivalry. After his defeat against Ash, Gary would graciously accept his defeat and gave him his half of the {{i|Poké Ball}}, symbolizing the end of their rivalry and the renewal of their friendship. Even after ending his rivalry with Ash, Gary would continue to have an impact on Ash and his journey moving forward, continuing to serve as a motivation towards him while at times lending him a helping hand.

[[File:Gary petting Umbreon.png|220px|thumb|Gary petting his Umbreon]]

====Pokémon====
Since the very start of his own journey, Gary has shown exceptional skill as a Pokémon Trainer, catching and training an astonishing number and variety of strong Pokémon in a short period of time and losing battles very infrequently. Despite the huge amount of Pokémon he owns, Gary takes very good care of them all, as noticed by {{an|Brock}} and {{Tracey}} when they first saw his {{TP|Gary|Eevee}}. As revealed by himself in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary often rotated the Pokémon in his party to suit the needs of the battles he would participate in. During his journey in Johto, Gary however was seen training and focusing only on specific members of his team such as {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}.

In ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish!]]'', Gary chose to leave his Pokémon with his grandfather with the exception of {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, but over time he recruited some of the Pokémon to help with various tasks and research.

As of ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary had captured more than 200 Pokémon from 60 different species.

Gary's current party is made up of Pokémon that he has used in Trial Missions for [[Project Mew]]. This listing is for Gary's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

[[Ash's Metapod]] deflected Rapidash's fire move, defeating Rapidash. In {{strip|9}}, Gary's {{p|Beedrill}} battled [[Brock's Vulpix]] at school, but their match was interrupted once a teacher told everyone to return their Pokémon to their [[Poké Ball]]s. In {{strip|13}}, Gary challenged {{Ash}} to a battle, with Gary's Charizard going up against Ash's Pikachu. Ash was confident he would win, but he was ultimately unable to battle when he became trapped under his {{AP|Snorlax}}.

==Trivia==
* Gary is one of the few characters from the [[original series]], who appeared during both [[dub]]s of the {{pkmn|anime}}, to have his English dub voice remain unchanged; he is always voiced by [[Carter Cathcart]].
* Gary is one of the few characters to have a surname in the Japanese version of the anime.
** Furthermore, Gary is the only rival in the anime to have a surname.
* In the original series, Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}. In his ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' appearances, Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In his appearance in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Interestingly, the cape he adorns in [[OK!]], its equivalent [[Pokémon Johto]] and in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' resembles the one worn by his cross-canon manga counterpart {{adv|Blue}} in the {{chap|Yellow}}.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of each of the special Pokémon that can appear on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} via [[dual-slot mode]], [[Mass outbreak|swarming]], or the [[Poké Radar]] ({{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and {{p|Dodrio}}).
* In [[Pokémon Stickers series 1]], a sticker depicting Gary identified him as "'''Bailey'''". The same error occurred in the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. The occurrence of the same error in two apparently unrelated sources might indicate an early-planned name, much like how Ash was initially known as "Casey".
* Although Ash's flashback in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' seems to suggest that Gary and Ash were childhood friends, this is contradicted by Gary's conversation with Ash in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when they first started off on their Pokémon journeys; it indicated that was the first time they met.
** This is further contradicted in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'', where Ash and Gary interacted with each other mere days before they set out on their journeys, with the two already knowing each other for sometime beforehand based on their exchange.
* Gary is the only character from Ash's fantasy sequence in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' to not be one of his traveling companions.
* Gary is the only character whose game counterpart is a {{pkmn|Champion}}, but hasn't been a Champion at any point in the anime.
* Excluding Ash, Gary is the only character to have participated in more than one on-screen {{pkmn|League Conference}}.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', aside from his being {{an|Professor Oak}}'s grandson, he is also the grandnephew of [[Pallet Town]]'s mayor. It also explains that his girlfriends are the mayor's electoral staff.

2023-05-11T19:11:49Z

ChaotixFox: /* Voice actors */

:''For the character of the day from [[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]] whose Japanese name is Shō, see [[Zackie]].''
----
[[File:Sho.png|thumb|250px|Sho]]
'''Sho''' (Japanese: '''ショウ''' ''Shō'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''. He specializes in the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

Sho initially came off as incredibly arrogant, a trait seemingly shared by his {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Pichu}}. When his Pichu came across [[Ash's Pikachu]], it called its Trainer over. Sho assumed it was a {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu, and was going to attempt to catch it before {{Ash}} explained it was his. Sho offered to trade his {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Magneton}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} for Pikachu in order to complete his evolution collection. Of course, Ash refused on all offers. Sho then started to accuse Ash of being a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and not being able to handle Pikachu's power.

From there on, he challenged Ash to a battle with his Raichu. Ash in turn uses Pikachu. Sho's Raichu knows two moves that Pikachu knows: {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}}. However, since it's fully evolved, it also knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}}. One of Sho's battle strategies is to have Raichu pin down opponents with its tail and then fire a Hyper Beam at them for a finishing blow at point blank range, proving to be brutal, if not merciless. He enacted this technique on Ash's Pikachu which injured it so much that it needed to be sent to the [[Pokémon Center]] in critical condition.

Later on, Ash challenged him to a rematch. This time, Pikachu went on to defeat Raichu. Sho seemed to have a change of heart, accepting Ash and Pikachu's battling abilities and admitting defeat.

|desc={{p|Raichu}} is Sho's main Pokémon, and is an extremely powerful battler and also shared the arrogant attitude Sho displayed. Sho sent him up against {{AP|Pikachu}} when Ash refused to trade him so Sho could own the entire Raichu evolution family. Although Pikachu was powerful, Raichu knew many of Pikachu's attacks with the addition of having extra strength that came from being a higher evolutionary form, making him more than formidable. Using his tail to restrain Pikachu against a rock, he brutally defeated Pikachu with his close-range Hyper Beam.

The defeat caused both Ash and Pikachu to question their earlier decision not to evolve Pikachu into Raichu, as there would always be attacks and abilities Pikachu could only gain by evolving. After some thought, both eventually decided that they made the right decision all that time ago and Pikachu was sent up against Raichu again after Pikachu recovered. Having learned new ways to move, Pikachu was able to out-speed Raichu and after a hard fought battle finally defeated him, earning both Sho and Raichu's respect.

He reappeared in a flashback in [[JN142]].

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

None of Pichu's moves are known.}}

===Mentioned===
Sho offered these Pokémon for a trade with Ash's Pikachu to complete his collection, but Ash rejected all the offers, not wanting to give up his best friend.

==Trivia==
* Sho has a similar personality as [[Lt. Surge]] as well as Pokémon choice. Both can be arrogant but will admit defeat and gain respect for the one who defeated them.
* In the English dub, Sho speaks using contemporary street slang, using terms like "homeboy", and "noob".
* In both English and Japanese, his name can be extracted from the word '''sho'''ck, which makes sense considering his team is made up of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* He is the second character named '''Shō''' in Japanese who wanted [[Ash's Pikachu]] for himself, the first being [[Zackie]]. Also like him, he first mistook Pikachu for a [[wild Pokémon]].

When they learned of the Great Tree's location in the [[Forest of Okoya]] and that the many {{p|Zarude}} living in the forest worshipped it, they decided to protect it from their subordinate [[Dr. Zed]], who wanted to destroy it in order to gain access to the secrets of the Healing Springs. Infuriated by this revelation, Dr. Zed chased the family down as they tried to escape in their car. He soon ran them off the road and into a riverbank. Stealing the data, Dr. Zed left the family to die in the ensuing explosion, but Al survived as he had drifted away from the car down the river.

Al was eventually found by a single [[Dada|Zarude]] living deep within the jungle. This Zarude attempted to return Al to his parents, however an attempt to leave him in [[Milyfa Town]] led to Al nearly walking in front of a car. Zarude decided to investigate a nearby lab and upon seeing its wrecked state and a photo of Al with his parents realized that the baby was now an orphan. Zarude decided to raise Al as a son and renamed him Koko. Knowing that this was against the rules of its troop, Zarude decided to leave the other Zarude behind so it could raise Koko safely, as they objected to a human being brought to their sacred tree. This Zarude, who took to wearing a torn piece of pink clothing, would become known as "Dada" to Koko.

Over the next ten years, Zarude raised Koko in the depths of the jungle, and the two developed a strong bond. As he had no memory of his human life, Koko believed he was also a Pokémon and was frustrated by the fact that he was seemingly unable to use [[move]]s. Zarude didn't want to tell Koko the truth of his origins. However, Koko began to question about his origins. When Zarude hesitated to give Koko the answer he asked for, Koko stormed off to discover his true origins. However, Koko fell into a river where he was saved by {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}}. Following his recovery, Koko found himself in the human world where he noticed that Ash and his fellow humans were identical to himself. Koko soon realized that he was one of them. Koko befriended Ash and the latter subsequently taught the former what it means to be human.

After Koko introduced his father to Ash, Zarude confronted Koko for speaking the human language and bringing a fellow human. However, Koko said that Zarude was ignoring the fact that he is also a human and called Dada out on this. Guilty, Zarude confessed to Koko that the latter wasn't a Zarude nor the begat of the former. Zarude took Koko, Ash, [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)|Pikachu]], and their friend {{p|Skwovet}} to the abandoned lab where he explained Koko's past and showed them the picture of Koko's real parents.

===Character===
Koko has a parent-child relationship with Zarude, calling it '''[[Dada]]''' (Japanese: '''とうちゃん''' ''Daddy'').

'''Max''' (Japanese: '''マサト''' ''Masato'') is an aspiring [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. He is the younger brother of {{an|May}} and the son of [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]]. He made his debut appearance in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Before traveling with Ash=====
Max first appeared in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''. He was inside the [[Petalburg Gym]] when {{an|May}} returned home with {{Ash}}. When he saw Ash, he claimed that he was the [[Gym Leader]] and questioned Ash about the [[Silver Conference]], saying that he had watched the tournament live when Ash was a participant and was not impressed with his performance. As the two began to bicker over how Ash could have won his {{pkmn|battle}} against {{jo|Harrison}}, May arrived with her parents and revealed that [[Norman]] was the actual Gym Leader instead of Max, leaving Ash irritated. Max watched the match between Norman and Ash until it was interrupted by {{TRT}}. He went after Team Rocket and fell for their pit traps when he found {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later, with Norman and Caroline's permission, he decided to join Ash and May when they were setting off to [[Petalburg Woods]].

=====As Ash's traveling companion=====
[[File:Max and Tommy.png|thumb|left|220px|Max and Tommy]]
In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Max went off to find [[Nicholai]] when he insulted Norman after defeating May. He brought along a pile of {{Berries}}, which attracted the {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s attention. They got angry when Max ran out of Berries; and Ash, May, {{an|Brock}}, and Nicholai arrived to save Max. When Nicholai led the Zigzagoon away from the group, Max apologized for his actions earlier.

Max took a liking to {{OBP|Katrina|AG011}}'s {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''. Seeing that Katrina owned three {{p|Mightyena}}, Max attempted to get Poochyena to [[Evolution|evolve]]. He {{pkmn|training|trained}} it with May's Torchic, but was unsuccessful due to Torchic attacking both Max and Poochyena. Max then ran off with Poochyena after Ash told him that some Pokémon are happy the way they are. When Poochyena was caught by Team Rocket, Max encouraged it to bite through the net to free itself and the other Pokémon as well. Afterwards, Poochyena was able to evolve into Mightyena.

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School!]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s {{pkmn|Trainers' School}}, where he battled {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}}'s {{p|Magby}} using a {{p|Poliwag}}. He used the strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}}, but this backfired when Magby's repeated attacks began to wear Poliwag down.

In ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] during the battle with [[Winstrate family|Vivi]], who had a crush on him. Since Corphish was Ash's Pokémon, Corphish recklessly attacked {{p|Marill}} even though Max wanted Corphish to go easy on Marill. This victory caused Vivi to no longer be interested in him.

[[File:Max and Max.png|thumb|220px|Max and [[Max (AG049)|his doppelgänger]]]]
Max met [[Doppelgänger|a lookalike]] with the [[Max (AG049)|same name]] as him in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. Both of them were fighting when the brown-haired one criticized the green-haired Max about how only skilled Trainers can handle {{TP|May|Skitty}} as he thought that the Skitty was his. Max met up with the brown-haired Max by the lake when a {{p|Surskit}} was dancing around there. May suggested to both Maxes that they should be friends but it resulted in them fighting. When Team Rocket arrived with their goal in catching Surskit for their {{an|Giovanni|boss}}, the green-haired Max and the brown-haired one went off and found Surskit as it ran away. They found it in a new water spring located in the forest. When Team Rocket returned to capture the Surskit, both Maxes worked together to take on the trio and Surskit finished them off. After Team Rocket's defeat, both Maxes became friends and the brown-haired Max promised the green-haired one that he will become a Trainer someday.

In ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]'', Max and {{ashfr|the gang}} went to a mansion. He separated from the group after he got into a sibling rivalry with May when they both accused each other of ending up in the mansion. When Max was still upset about May, a {{p|Shuppet}} covered him with red aura and Max noticed it. They played with each other and Shuppet showed Max a secret room containing a playground. Still mad about May, Max had Shuppet play a prank on Ash, May, and Brock by lifting up items in the kitchen when the three were headed there. When Team Rocket was about to get May's Torchic, Max blocked their way until May arrived. Max stood back as May took things from there with her Torchic and was about to get crushed by a falling shelf until Shuppet saved them by lifting the shelf.

Max found an injured {{p|Ralts}} in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''. He took it back to the campsite where {{AP|Snorunt}} successfully cheered it up using [[Ash's hat]] and Max's glasses. Max took Ralts to a [[Pokémon Center]] after Brock pointed out that Ralts was running a {{DL|Illness in the Pokémon world|fever}}. While Ash, May, and Brock were battling Team Rocket while they were attempting to steal Ralts for their boss, Max made a run for the Pokémon Center with Snorunt tagging along. Along the way, Max dealt with Team Rocket again but they were stopped by Ralts's friends, a {{p|Kirlia}} and a {{p|Gardevoir}}. Max explained to them about Ralts's condition but Kirlia was about to attack him until Ralts protected him with {{m|Safeguard}} despite being in worse condition. Seeing that Ralts was willing to trust Max, Kirlia and Gardevoir {{m|teleport}}ed away. Max finally arrived in a Pokémon Center and reunited with Ash, May, and Brock. Max was happy to see that Ralts was healed up. However, he was sad to say goodbye to it after it left with Kirlia and Gardevoir.
[[File:Max farewell.png|thumb|left|220px|Max's farewell]]
In ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[AG172|2]]'', Max went with the group and [[Solana]] to a cave where they found out about a meteorite relating to {{an|Deoxys}}. Max was willing to communicate with it and Deoxys took him and {{MTR}} to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|another dimension]]. Deoxys possessed Meowth as it explained to Max that it was scared during the space flight. Deoxys then explained to Max about the meteor landing and outer space, and that it was alone without a friend to hangout with. When Ash and his friends arrived in the cave again, [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Sceptile}}, [[May's Combusken]], and [[Brock's Marshtomp]] signaled their arrival and Max was happy to see them again. When Deoxys battled the group outside the cave, it caused some friction inside the alternate dimension that made Max and Meowth bounce around. However, they were able to get out with the help of May and [[Jessie]]. After the battle, Deoxys possessed Meowth again where it thanked Max for everything and fled off, wanting to explore the planet even more.

At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', May announced that she wished to travel to the [[Johto]] [[region]] alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He arrived home in [[Petalburg City]] where he took lessons from his father and helped to look after the [[Gym]] Pokémon.

===Character===
[[File:Max Brock ears.png|thumb|220px|Max pulling Brock's ears]]
In his debut episode, Max was a bit of a know-it-all who was proud of his book smarts. For example, in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Max did not approve of how {{Ash}} had used {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{pkmn|battle}} and spent a portion of the episode lecturing him on what he thought was a better way to command the Pokémon. But despite this attitude, Max was not a close-minded person and was always eager to learn about Pokémon first-hand. He would become particularly excited when he could experience a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[move]] or [[Ability]], such as {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing}} or {{p|Sharpedo}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}}.

Over the course of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Max went under {{an|Brock}}'s tutelage for real-world knowledge of Pokémon and how to [[Pokémon training#Caretaking|care]] for them. He developed a friendly relationship with Brock, though he did adopt {{an|Misty}}'s habit for yanking him by the ear whenever Brock saw a pretty woman. Despite getting off to a rocky start with Ash, Max truly admires him and has proven it on numerous occasions. Over time, Max saw how Ash's unorthodox battle strategies could be beneficial, and by the end of his travels through [[Kanto]], Max was no longer criticizing Ash's battling style.

He shares a deep bond with his older sister, {{an|May}}, and their bond only grew stronger while they traveled together through Hoenn with Ash and Brock. He is very proud of May's accomplishments as a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and is always cheering for her when she takes part in a [[Pokémon Contest]]. However, the siblings were occasionally aggressive towards each other, like when Max told [[Harley]] embarrassing stories about May.

[[File:Max DP.png|thumb|left|220px|Max taking care of [[Norman's Slaking]]]]
Another example occurred in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', when May asked {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} to "get rid of the problem," referring to the large pile of candy in the room. Jirachi, who was reading Max's thoughts, {{m|teleport}}ed May away, which suggests that Max had been thinking that May was the real problem. Despite their arguments, the two siblings care for each other very much.

The question of Max's [[starter Pokémon]] was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn. Among the Hoenn starters, he said that he would have chosen a {{p|Treecko}}. However, in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', he commented that he could really receive anything. Not knowing who his starter would be led to some of the conflict with his [[doppelgänger]], whose name was also {{OBP|Max|AG049}}, in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. At the end of that episode, he stated that Max is lucky that he already knows the Pokémon he will start his {{pkmn|training}} with.

Max finally did meet his future partner in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' when he befriended a weakened {{p|Ralts}}. Wanting to demonstrate that he could be responsible for a Pokémon, he took care of it and brought it to a [[Pokémon Center]] with a little help from {{AP|Snorunt}}. When Max and Ralts parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a Trainer.

===Pokémon===
Due to not being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] yet, Max is unable to {{pkmn|training|raise}} his own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Nevertheless, he has befriended a variety of Pokémon during his travels. He has also occasionally borrowed [[May's Munchlax]], such as in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path!]]'' when he needed a Pokémon to take part in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] being held in [[Potpourri Island]].

Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s, such as the ones with {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} and [[Winstrate family|Vivi Winstrate]]. When he battles, he focuses on [[Status move|defensive moves]] such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Defense Curl}} instead of offensive, [[damage]]-dealing moves.

Max wanted to feed it and make friends with it, so Ash gave Max some Pokémon food to feed it. Shroomish was suspicious and used Stun Spore, causing Ash and Max to quickly back away in surprise.

Ash and Max noted that Shroomish was in the city instead of the forest, where its kind normally would live. Figuring that it might have been separated from its Trainer, they decided that they should take it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Max took out a handkerchief and tied it around the top of Shroomish's head as a gift. The gift made Shroomish very happy. Max picked up Shroomish and they headed off.

After another failed [[Ash's Pikachu|Pika]]-{{TRT}} plan, Shroomish, still in Max's arms, got very distressed and ran off. Ash and Max followed it. Shroomish went into the mansion through a broken window. In the end, Shroomish stayed in the mansion with [[Alex]] who promised to replant the forest.

Shroomish's known moves are {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Leech Seed}}.}}

They decided to bring Jirachi to its home of [[Forina]].
Unfortunately, Butler followed them and got a hold of Jirachi. Using the {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon, he unwittingly created [[Meta Groudon]] which wrought havoc all over the forests of Forina. Fortunately, Jirachi was saved by Ash and then used its {{m|Doom Desire}} to obliterate the false {{p|Groudon}}.

After the ordeal, Jirachi went back to sleep, and Ash and the others continued their journey.

During this time, Jirachi grew attached to Max, and formed a special bond with him. It is believed that Max was the one who enabled Jirachi to emerge from the Millennium Comet. He was sad to see Jirachi leave, but he knew that they would always remain friends.}}

Max found it under a bench and returned it to [[Roxanne]], who said it was {{OBP|Kenny|AG015}}'s, but he was afraid of touching it. Later, when {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} accidentally stepped on Poliwag's tail, it sparked a fight between Tommy and Max. In battle practice, Max then used Poliwag against Tommy's {{p|Magby}}.

Tommy began with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Max countered with Defense Curl. When Tommy tried again, Max used Belly Drum. With increased attack and defense power, Max chose not to go forward and attack, and on Tommy's next attempt with Flamethrower, it was replied with another Defense Curl - however, repeated hits were taking its toll on Poliwag. Suddenly {{TRT}} attacked, but Max was able to cooperate with Kenny and [[Anita]] to send them blasting off.

Poliwag's known moves are {{m|Defense Curl}}, {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Protect}}.}}

==Trivia==
[[File:ORAS Schoolkid M.png|thumb|110px|Schoolkid artwork from Generation VI]]
[[File:Older Max look-a-like.png|thumb|200px|The Max look-a-like on the right]]
* A person with a [[Anime character recycling|strong resemblance]] appeared in ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]''.
* Max's appearance may have been based on the {{tc|School Kid}} {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
** The Schoolkid artwork from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] closely resembles Max.
** When Max is first seen, he is even standing in the pose of a School Kid who challenges the player.
** According to [http://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20151225009/index_3.html an interview] with [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], Max was created during a conversation with [[Satoru Iwata]]. His glasses are the same model Iwata wore then, and his overall design was based on Iwata's son.
* In {{game|Emerald}} (but not Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire), the rival character ({{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}} depending on the player's gender) has a little brother, who can be seen in the first story of their house alongside their mother. This is most likely a reference to Max.
* Although Max took {{an|Misty}}'s role of pinching {{an|Brock}}'s ear when he sees a pretty girl, he didn't start doing that until he saw Misty do it in ''[[AG044|The Princess and The Togepi]]''. However, he did drag Brock by the pants once in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty!]]''.
* Max was the first {{ashfr|main character}} besides Ash to have a lead role in a [[Pokémon movie]], as all movies before ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' had either Ash or a [[character of the day]] with the lead role.
* Max befriending a {{p|Ralts}} mirrors [[Wally]]'s {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}}. Max also finds it sick, which is the reverse of the sickly Wally {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Ralts.
** This may also be due to two School Kids using a Ralts in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* Max is the youngest male protagonist.
* Max is Ash's first companion who is too young to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The second would be {{an|Bonnie}}, although she does care for [[Clemont's Dedenne|a Pokémon]].
* Max is the only one of Ash's traveling companions introduced prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' that has not reunited with him following his departure from the main cast.

'''Luis''' (Japanese: '''オード''' ''Aude'') is a minor supporting character who appeared in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']]. He is a young boy currently living in a frozen region and a descendent of the "[[Kingdom of the Vale|People of the Vale]]".

==In the movies==
In the beginning of ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'', Luis was out on the frozen tundra with his mother, village leader [[Glacine]], searching for [[Revival Herb]]s. His {{p|Lillipup}} had just found some under the ice when a giant iceberg crashed into the glacier he and his mother were on. Both ran for cover and they were almost rescued by the arrival of [[Donuke]]. However, his sled was flipped over by a {{p|Beartic}} and the three were trapped on a crumbling sheet of ice, with the iceberg still incoming. They were then saved by [[Damon]], who summoned {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}} to destroy the iceberg with {{m|Fusion Bolt}}. He was also seen in a flashback of Damon's in ''White—Victini and Reshiram'', where he gives Damon a bottle of Revival Herb potion.

Luis was later seen in both movies with Glacine and Donuke, as well as the people of the desert village, who all came to [[Eindoak Town]] to show their support for Damon's idea. He was also seen in the ending credits with [[Luisa]].

None of Lillipup's moves are known.

===Movie adaptations===
Luis appears in a single panel of ''{{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom}}'', where he is seen in the flashback of Damon visiting the tundra village on a journey to gather the descendants of the People of the Vale. Luis does not travel to Eindoak Town in support of Damon's plan as he does in the movie.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese name may be based on {{wp|Aude}}, a department in France. It is also the name of a {{wp|Aude (river)|river}} in southwestern France.
