'''Battle Between Student and Master!''' (Japanese: '''師匠との決戦!''' ''Battle with Master!'') is the third chapter of the [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] manga.

==Synopsis==
After a winning streak at the {{ho|Battle Tower}}, Enta goes to tell Rald of his victories, after which Rald suggests that he should go find his name in the Record Hall. There he meets Scott, who invites him to witness one of Rald's battles. After witnessing Rald defeat Mitsuki at the [[Battle Dome]], with almost no damage to his own Pokémon, Enta is amazed by the level of skill his Master has and worries that he'll never be able to reach that level. However, he decides that he can't let himself give up and that he'll continue to improve himself due to the bonds he shares with his team. Mitsuki overhears this and decides to become a training partner for Enta. After training together, Enta enters the tower again, making astounding progress, to the point where if he wins his next match, he'll take the record for most consecutive victories. His next opponent however is his Master, Rald. Enta declares that he's gonna give it everything he's got, to which Rald replies that he won't be going easy on Enta. The intense match goes on until only one Pokémon on each side stand. Enta's Vulpix and Rald's Sceptile. It looks as though the next attack will be the last, Enta calls {{m|Flamethrower}} while Rald calls {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Sceptile strikes first, but Vulpix sarely survives and is sent to use {{m|Overheat}}, but is caught by Sceptile before executing the move, Enta takes the chance to order a Ultra Point-Blank Flamethrower. Sceptile struggles to rise back to it's feet, however before it can, Enta forfeits the match, not wanting to see Vulpix take any more damage than it already has. Rald congratulates Enta on a battle well fought, saying that it was the best battle he's ever had, prompting Enta to burst into tears. The next day, Mitsuki is taking the Multi Battle challenge again, wondering which pretty lady he should choose as his partner. However before he has a chance to choose, Enta arrives choosing him as his partner again, knowing the more he practices and battles, the greater trainer he'll become.

==Major events==
* Enta witnesses a battle between Rald and Mitsuki and is astounded by Rald's skills.
* Enta reaches the point in the Battle Tower where if he wins another match, he'll have broken the current consecutive win record, however his next opponent is Rald. After an intense battle between the two trainers, Enta still lost.
* Enta vows to continue to train and battle in order to become an even greater trainer.

'''Final Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden''' (Japanese: '''最終決戦　タワータイクーン''' ''Final Battle: The Tower Tycoon'') is the sixth and final chapter of the [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]] manga.

==Synopsis==
Having defeated six Frontier Brains, Enta is treated to lunch by Mitsuki, who talks about how far Enta has come. However, Enta isn't paying attention. Shortly after, Enta is challenged to a battle by his Master Rald. After a fierce battle with Rald coming out on top, he gives Enta a [[Fire Stone]] and he tells him to use it as he pleases. That night, while talking to his Vulpix, it touches the Fire Stone in order to evolve itself into Ninetales. The next day, Enta heads to the Battle Tower, fighting his way through all his opponents in order to reach Anabel. As the match between Enta and Anabel finally begins, Scott intervenes, telling Anabel not to go all out due to the fact that many previous trainers she defeated had lost all confidence in themselves and quit training. However, Enta objects, saying that he'd never give up as Pokémon are his comrades. Rald confirms this himself as he arrives on the scene, telling Anabel to go all out if she likes. The intense battle culminates in Entei vs. Ninetales, as the battle nears it's end, Anabel calls for a {{m|Fire Blast}}, as Enta catches a brief glimpse of Vulpix again standing in Ninetales' place. He decides to attack with {{m|Return}}, Rald comments on the sideline how such a move is perfect for a close pair such as Enta and Ninetales, and after the final strikes, the match is declared a draw. Enta thanks Ninetales for its effort, while telling Anabel that he won't lose next time.

The next thing we see is at the pier, where Enta refuses to leave the Frontier as Rald tries to convince him as the boat people are waiting for him. Enta tells Rald that he wants to stay so he can learn more from him. Rald then decides to impart his last piece of advice to Enta, in order to become the greatest, he must go on a training pilgrimage in order to fight stong people from around the world. Enta finally accepts this and leaves the Battle Frontier behind, in order to become the greatest number one trainer!

==Major events==
* Enta battles Rald and receives a Fire Stone.
* Enta's Vulpix evolves into Ninetales with the use of the Fire Stone.
* Enta challenges the Battle Tower in order to reach Anabel.
* Scott interrupts the battle to prevent Anabel going all out, however both Enta and Rald argue against this.
* The battle between Enta's Ninetales and Anabel's Entei ends in a draw.
* Enta leaves the Battle Frontier, determined to become an even greater trainer.

Moves not in the Pokémon games

2009-01-02T04:54:34Z

Dialgalover: /* In the anime */

{{incomplete}}
This is a '''list of moves that have appeared in the anime, manga, and TCG that have not appeared in the games'''.

==In Pokémon Special==
*[[Pika|Red's Pikachu]]
:MegaVolt: a stronger version of {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Thunderarmor.png|frame|right|150px|{{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Swellow}} using Thunder Armor]]
*{{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Swellow}}
:'''Thunder Armor''': Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder}} on itself and Swellow. This improvised technique increased both Pikachu and Swellow's {{Stat|Speed}} and {{Stat|Attack}}, and were able to subdue their opponents with relative ease afterwards.

*{{AP|Pidgeotto}}
:'''Gust Counter-Attack''': a variation of {{m|Gust}}, used to force the foe to evade. This technique was used only once by Ash's Pidgeotto in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Pidgeotto slams its wings together, creating a small air flow around his wings forcing [[Jessie's Ekans]] to jump away.

*{{AP|Buizel}}
:'''Ice Jet''': a combination of an {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Aqua Jet}}. It was used first in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' as a contest combination. Later it was used in the Wallace Cup and then the battle between Ash and [[Crasher Wake]].

*{{p|Eevee}}
:'''Rage Tackle''': used by [[Mikey|Mikey's]] {{p|Eevee}} in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''

*{{AP|Pikachu}}
:'''Volt Tail''': a combination of {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}}. An improvised move where Pikachu starts off with Volt Tackle and pulls out Iron tail a second before it hits. Used against [[Sho]]'s Raichu in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''.


==In the TCG==


The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] frequently invents new moves for Pokémon to use.

Dialgalover: /* Encounters */

{{ship}}

'''Franticshipping''' is the term for the [[Pokémon Special|Pokémon Adventures]] manga couple of {{Special|Ruby}} and {{Special|Sapphire}}, the protagonists of the fourth chapter also known as RS. This pairing is considered to be canon as both characters have confessed their love for the other. However whether or not they are together is unknown.

==Ruby and Sapphire==
Ruby is the main protagonist of the fourth chapter. He has an interest in contests. He constantly grooms his Pokémon and croons how beautiful they are. He takes much pride in his Pokémon's appearance. At the beginning he is very shallow and tends to dislike Pokémon that are ugly. He also says that he finds battles to be appalling. However, in truth, he happens to be excellent in battling but after a past experience has vowed to never battle in front of others again.

Sapphire is Ruby's opposite. She is described a a wild girl several times throughout the series. She doesn't care much for looks and prefers battling to contests. She is very strong and has great senses including sharp eyesight and smell. She loves Pokémon and has a great sense of pride and justice. She finds Ruby to be an annoying, arrogant boy at first, but feelings soon change.

==History==
Although Ruby and Sapphire do not find out until much later, they knew each other as little children. Back then Ruby was a mischievous and adventurous boy who liked to battle while Sapphire was a sweet, docile, little girl who like pretty things and disliked violence. Ruby's father, [[Norman]], was taking the test required for leadership of the Petalburg gym. [[Professor Birch]], Sapphire's father, came to visit Norman bringing his little daughter along.

The two children played together. Ruby and Sapphire look back describing that time as one of the best in their lives. However it was ruined by the arrival of a wild {{p|Salamence}}. Ruby, to protect Sapphire, attacked the Salamence eventually driving it away. He got hurt in the process, getting a cut across the side of his forehead. When Ruby looked back to reassure Sapphire that the Salamence had gone, he was surprised to see her crying. She then said, "Scary...so scary." That becomes a huge turning point for Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby thinks that he had shocked her with how brutally he fought and had "tainted her crystal clear heart." He vows never to show his true strength in front of anybody ever again. Sapphire also makes a vow. She believes it is because of her inability to fight that got him hurt and by crying she had hurt his pride. So by becoming stronger, she planned on having the ability to protect herself and the others around her. Years later, Ruby became a boy who prefers to groom his Pokémon, while Sapphire starts to believe that the strength of a Pokémon is more important than its looks.

Even several years later they still remember each other, however, they can't recall any faces or names. Both have even admitted to loving that childhood friend that they can't really remember anymore.

==Encounters==
===Ruby & Sapphire chapter===
Ruby first met Sapphire when he was saved by her from falling off a cliff. At the time she was completely covered in leaves, and he thought that she was a Pokémon. At one point he gets scared of her and orders Nana, his {{p|Poochyena}}, to attack. She immediately becomes violent and sends out {{p|Torchic}}. They both trade insults until Sapphire proposes a bet. They both have to reach their goals (Sapphire: Conquer all eight gyms; Ruby: Conquer all contests) in 80 days. However they are interrupted by a {{p|Seviper}}. Sapphire tries her best to battle but eventually gets knocked out trying to protect Ruby. Ruby sees no one is watching and immediately knocks out the Seviper. While she is unconscious, he measures her and makes appropriate clothing for her so that she can get rid of the grass/leaf skirt and bra she is wearing.

They meet again in [[Dewford Town]] where Sapphire earns her Knuckle Badge and Ruby helps [[Steven]] in [[Granite Cave]]. At one point Granite Cave collapses, and Sapphire worried for Ruby's safety immediately goes to try to find him. Sadly she is thanked with a string of insults. Almost immediately the two leave to follow Steven on Sapphire's {{p|Wailord}}, Walo, because Sapphire had to deliver a letter to him.

Eventually when both become fed up with each other, they decide to take a break at the [[Abandoned Ship]]. Sapphire forces Ruby to get on the ship which is rumored to haunted while she stays on Walo. Here they have their first encounter with one of the antagonist teams, [[Team Magma]]. The two work together using a {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} that were on the ship to escape.

They separate to meet again at [[Fortree City]] right before the massive crisis of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Sapphire learns that Ruby has a talent for battling as he uses his Pokémon to knock out a rampaging herd of {{p|Grumpig}} to save Sapphire. Sapphire is ecstatic and asks Ruby to join her and the gym leaders in the fight against evil. Ruby, however, cooly refuses saying that he's only in Hoenn for the contests and that he will return to Johto after he is done. This infuriates Sapphire to the breaking point. She rips off her clothes (Ruby immediately covers his eyes), breaks off a branch of a nearby tree to wrap around herself, and starts yelling at Ruby about how selfish he is and how she thought he was actually a good person but she was wrong. She then runs off. Ruby is rather ashamed of himself and sets out to participate in some more contests. Eventually Ruby realizes he should fight, too.

The two protagonists meet again much later to dive down to the [[Cave of Origin]] to fight [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] who hold the Blue and Red Orbs that control Kyogre and Groudon. Before the final battle against the two legendary Pokémon, Sapphire confesses her feelings directly to Ruby. She then tells Ruby about another boy she loved during her childhood, who is actually none other than Ruby himself. Ruby immediately realizes that Sapphire is the girl he played with during his childhood, but he didn't reveal himself to her yet. Not long after Sapphire's confession, Ruby suddenly locked her in an aircar. Sapphire shouts and orders Ruby to get her out. Ruby replied he did that so she will be safe in the aircar. After that, Ruby thanks her for making the 80-day bet with him, then pulled at his headband and showed her the scar the Salamance had left. He then confesses his feelings to Sapphire. It was then that Sapphire realized that it was he that had protected her five years before. Before she can react, [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] appeared and Ruby joined her, leaving Sapphire and Ruby's mentor, [[Wallace]] shocked.

After Ruby and Norman defeat Maxie and Archie, Ruby and Sapphire return to their 80 day bet. Sapphire returns to the cave that they met with her [[Badge#Balance Badge|Balance Badge]] to find Ruby has achieved his final Contest Ribbon. He has also re-decorated her cave like a Secret Base. The Ruby and Sapphire volume of the manga ends with Sapphire wanting to talk about their confessions before the battle, but Ruby avoids the issue.

===Emerald chapter===
Ruby and Sapphire next appear in the wedding between [[Wanda]] and Ryūji on the S.S. Tidal (which was sailing towards the Battle Frontier carrying trainers for the Battle Dome Challenge), where [[Winona]] asks how Sapphire's relationship with Ruby is going in retaliation to Sapphire's probing questions of her and Wallace's relationship, in which she responds that Ruby seems to have forgotten everything that was said during the catastrophe in the final chapters of the RuSa story arc.

After meeting Emerald (and in Ruby's case, becoming traumatized by their first meeting), Sapphire is about to compliment Ruby when he promptly annoys her by wondering about the state of his clothes, causing the pair to argue for a bit until they compete in the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)#Battle Dome|Battle Dome]], where both lose in the semi-finals. They also both tick Emerald off with their support for him, and he tosses them from the Battle Dome.

After landing, they explore Frontier Island until they reach the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)#Battle Palace|Battle Palace]], where [[Palace Maven Spenser]] aproaches, grabs Sapphire's chin and looks into her eyes. Then Ruby, in either anger or jealousy, yells at Spencer to get away from Sapphire; he is knocked to the ground by Spenser in response.

Shiny Pokémon

2008-12-14T14:02:55Z

Dialgalover: /* Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 */

[[Image:ShinyGSStars.png|thumb|left]]

[[Image:Ash's Noctowl.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Noctowl]] soaring.]]
[[Image:Shiny charizard from (pokemon pokedex colecters edition).JPG|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]].]]
'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''alternately colored'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''shining'') Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and was required for [[Pokémon Crystal]].

When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's call, while in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] it happens afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars next to its gender and in Generation III and IV as a large star on the status screen. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, no matter whether or not they are actually alternate colored. This seems to have disappeared from later games.

===Generation II===
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|frame|A Red Gyarados.]]
[[Image:130.png|thumb|left|Regular {{p|Gyarados}}.]]
[[Image:Spr 4p 130 m s.png|thumb|left|Red Gyarados.]]
In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[individual values]] (IVs) of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backwards compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be, provided its data is unaltered. Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon, however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]].

===Generations III and IV===
In Generation III, most of the data structures were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the Generation III games and previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The secret ID and trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a probability of 1 in 8192 (8/65536), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

If E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In [[Trainer Tower]] in {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} there are two trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in double battle mode, the first pair of trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|right|thumb|A regular Kecleon with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe) and is more likely a different color due to its {{a|Color Change}} ability. It says that it was so excited about Orbs that it turned rosy-colored{{fact}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, a shiny {{p|Celebi}} appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. Some argue that due to an altered timeline, this particular Celebi is shiny. Others argue that this one has feelings for a male Pokémon ({{p|Grovyle}}). It is shown when the player talks with Celebi at the relay point in the [[Deep Dusk Forest]], where Celebi blushes when trying to deny her feelings for Grovyle. Therefore, the shiny coloring (pink) further emphasizes that this particular Celebi is inherently female. Grovyle also refers to this Celebi as 'she' and 'her'. Also, {{p|Dialga}} appears in different coloration. Like the purple Kecleon, this Dialga is not shiny. Unlike Kecleon, however, this is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "[[Primal Dialga]]".

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. {{TCG|Stormfront|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} includes three cards with alternate coloration artwork and a holofoil effect, but are not classified as rare cards. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards do not play significantly differently from their normal coloration counterparts, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into Stage 1 Pokémon.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DateExpectations.jpg|right|thumb|A shiny {{p|Donphan}} in the anime.]]
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a [[Generation III Pokémon]] in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be seen, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen by Ash in [[EP001|the first episode]]. Because alternate coloration was not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be an "official" shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and therefore was quite obviously a coloring error. Another Pokémon that's attributed as being a shiny is Saturn's {{p|Toxicroak}} from ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''. Whether it is really a shiny or that's just how Toxicroak are depicted in the anime is being debated.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the main land. For example, a Butterfree would have gold wings with red spots on them instead of just being white.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared as well.

Dugtrio appears to be very similar to the artificial moles used in the [[wp:Whac-A-Mole|Whac-A-Mole]] arcade games, as well as [http://www.youkaimura.org/dosojin.htm Dosojin], a Japanese fertility spirit.
====Name origin====
Dugtrio's name is a combination of ''dug'', the past tense of ''dig'', and ''trio'', meaning three.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Digdri - Appears to be a combination of ''dig'' and the prefix ''tri-''.

Team Skull (Mystery Dungeon)

2008-12-06T10:11:26Z

Dialgalover:

{{cleanup}}

'''Team Skull''' is a villainous team from ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness]]''. It consists of {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Zubat}}. The team is frequently antagonistic with the party over the course of the game.

When they are first encountered, only Zubat and Koffing are present, hiding behind a pole at the [[Wigglytuff Guild]]. When they appear next, both attack the partner, steal the [[Relic Fragment]], and run off into [[Beach Cave]]. Following them, the partner demands the Relic Fragment, but Koffing and Zubat refuse. A battle commences between both groups. Upon Koffing and Zubat's defeat, the Relic Fragment will be returned, and the enemy running off.

Later, the head of the team, Skuntank, arrives, and proves to be exceptionally tough and clever. They attempt to earn their way into the Guild's exploration, in order to later turn on them and take their treasures. When {{p|Chatot}} assigns the player and partner to pick up Perfect Apples, Team Skull beats them to the location, eats all the apples, and easily knocks out the player's team with Skuntank and Koffing's "noxious gas combo". Upon returning to the guild, Chatot is very unhappy with the player's failure, refusing to hear the explanation about what happened, and the player's team is sent to bed without dinner as punishment. Skuntank then presents Wigglytuff with a Perfect Apple, and is made out to be the hero.

During the Guild exploration, Skuntank and Koffing try to knock out Wigglytuff, but Wigglytuff ends up taking them out instead. After the expedition, Team Skull wanted to plan revenge on Wigglytuff, but they realize they are no match for him. Later, Zubat proposes that they should target on the player's team since they are "wimpy". Skuntank agrees and a few days later, they steals the {{p|Marill}} brothers' Water Float, then puts it in the deepest part of [[Amp Plains]], hoping that the player's team will be attacked by the {{p|Luxio}} tribe there.

During the last part of the main story, the player's team goes to [[Brine Cave]] with the Relic Fragment to gain access to the [[Hidden Land]], but toward the end, Team Skull appears again and steals the Relic Fragment once again. However, they are ambushed by a group of {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After these [[fossil|fossil Pokémon]] are defeated, Skuntank ends up giving the Relic Fragment back to the player's team.

'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer|trainer]]. He was once the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, wielding the [[Badge#Rain Badge|Rain Badge]]. He was promoted to {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] in {{v2|Emerald}}. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby/Sapphire. He was taught by [[Juan]], who takes his place as Gym Leader in Emerald.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EnterContestMasterMikuri!!.jpg‎|thumb|left|Wallace and his {{p|Milotic}}]]
Although Juan was the Sootopolis Gym Leader in the anime, early Japanese artwork shows that Wallace was intended to be in this position before Emerald's release.

Although he never appeared in Hoenn, he first appeared in [[DP075|''Our Cup Runneth Over!'']] as a Contest Master in Sinnoh, announcing he was going to host and judge the [[Wallace Cup]]. He makes further appearances in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. It is mentioned that, like in the game, Wallace was the Sootopolis City Gym Leader and later the Hoenn Champion. However this is not elaborated on.

He also appears on a poster in [[DP095]].

His Japanese voice actor is 森川智之 ''[[Toshiyuki Morikawa]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Sean Reyes]].

===Quotes===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
''"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Wallace. The Gym Leader of Sootopolis. There's something about you... A difference in your demeanor. I think I sense that in you. What happened inside the Cave of Origin, and what you did, I will likely learn through our upcoming battle. Now, show me. Show me the power you wield with your Pokémon. And I, in turn, shall present you with a performance of illusions in water by me and my Pokémon!"''

''"Bravo. I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a Pokémon Trainer. I find much joy in having met you and your Pokémon. You have proven yourself worthy of the Rain Badge. Accept it."''
===== Trainer's Eyes =====
'''Strategy''' -
Dignity and respect

'''Trainer's Pokémon''' -
I prefer Pokémon of grace.

'''Self-Introduction''' -
Pokémon

====Pokémon Emerald====
''"Welcome, [[player character|<name>]]. That incident in Sootopolis City... That was superb work, putting an end to that crisis all by yourself. Oops! It wouldn't be fair to say that you alone ended the crisis. You overcome that difficult situation by working as one with your Pokémon. We Trainers raise Pokémon by giving them items and by teaching them new techniques for battle. But we ourselves also learn many things from Pokémon. And this is where your achievements are put to the test against what others like you have achieved. Now! Who can most elegantly dance with their Pokémon in Hoenn? Show me right here and now!"''

''"I, the Champion, fall in defeat... That was wonderful work. You were elegant, infuriatingly so. And yet it was utterly glorious! Kudos to you, [[player character|<name>]]! You are a truly noble Pokémon Trainer!"''

''"The Pokémon you sent into battle... At times they danced like a spring breeze, and at times they struck like a lightning. It was with light, yet surefooted, elegance that you led your Pokémon. Even I felt bedazzled by your masterful performance! You now stand at the glorious peak of the Pokémon League. I now proclaim you to be the new Hoenn region... ...[[player character|<name>]]! No, let me rephrase that properly. The new Champion! come with me. I'm sorry, but... From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with Prof. Birch. This room... This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored. Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."''

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Wallace.PNG|right|frame|Wallace]]
In [[Pokémon Special]], he is the Sootopolis Gym Leader, in addition to being a [[Pokémon Contest|contest]] master as well as the protector of the [[Cave of Origin]]. Wallace also takes {{Special|Ruby}} under his wing, much like how [[Winona]] did for {{Special|Sapphire}}. Despite having aligned himself with [[Team Aqua]], he has a strong sense of justice, and is the first of the aligned Gym Leaders to renounce his loyalty, convincing [[Winona]] of the [[Team Magma|Magmas]] to do the same.

It was revealed in {{PSV|21}} that Wallace was the Hoenn League Champion who had entered the Hall of Fame. However, he renounced the title as he expressed his wish of following his mentor, [[Juan|Juan's]], footstep of becoming a Gym Leader of his city. According to [[Steven]], what Wallace did not mention to the director of the Pokémon Association is that there is a second reason for his renouncement: He was trying to stay with [[Winona]], the Fortree Gym Leader.

He and [[Winona]] apparently had some sort of relationship in the past, speculated by most fans to have been romantic. Although it is largely unconfirmed whether [[Winona]] still has feelings for him, it is quite obvious that he still has feelings for her, based on the scene where the two say their goodbyes before they leave to fight {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} in {{PSV|20}}.

Wallace regained the title of Champion after Steven had a premonition that he would die in the upcoming battle between Groudon and Kyogre.

Wallace usually travels on an "Air Car", which can travel on both the land and the air. He is also the only [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader who nicknamed his Pokémon.

Dungeon tile

Dialgalover: /* Other */

{{Incomplete}}
{{cleanup}}
'''Dungeon tiles''' are a game element exclusive to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|its sequel]]. In each dungeon, the floor is made up of square sections called "dungeon tiles." The square shape is typically not evident if a player is simply looking at the floor, but the tiles can be seen by performing certain actions.

=Dungeon Tiles=

* '''Stairs''' - To further advance in a dungeon, a player must find the stairs. On the last floor of most dungeons, it will take the team out of the dungeon.

* '''Warp Points''' - Warp Points are found at the last floor of some optional dungeons. It instantly warps the team out of the dungeon.

* '''Wonder Tile''' - Varying numbers of these can be found on a floor, if the dungeon contains them at all. If there is a yellow arrow above the player's or partner's head (indicating a status problem such as lowered defense, accuracy, etc.), stepping on one of these will restore the normal state. However, it also cancels stat increments of the Pokémon.

* '''Carpet''' - If the player finds a {{p|Kecleon}} shop, items are placed on these. The player may either buy or steal the items, however, thieves are confronted by a high-level Kecleon.

=Traps=
'''Traps''' are special dungeon tiles that makes the game harder to play. These tiles can make the team's Pokémon lose [[HP]], [[PP]], inflict [[status conditions]], etc.

* '''Chestnut Trap'''- When stepped on, it will drop chestnuts onto the Pokémon who stepped on it, taking away 10 HP.

* '''Pitfall Trap''' - If the player steps on it, it will inflict 5HP damage and take the team to the next floor of the dungeon. When an ally steps on it, the team member will faint.

* ''' Sticky Trap ''' - If the player steps on this tile, it will make the player's hold item sticky and useless untill they leave the dungeon. If an ally steps on it, it will make their hold item sticky. If the player steps on the tile and is not holding an item, a random item in the inventory will become sticky, while if the ally is not holding and item, nothing will happen. Stickiness can be removed with a Cleanse Orb.

* '''Selfdestruct Trap''' - This tile explodes when stepped on, and does damage to Pokémon within a 1-tile radius. It will take away half of the player's and allies current HP, and does 40 damage to wild Pokémon. It also destroys items and walls within the radius

* '''Explosion Trap''' - This tile blows up when stepped on and does damage to Pokémon within a 2-tile radius. It will take away half of the player's and allies current HP, and does 80 damage to wild Pokémon. It also destroys items and walls within the radius.

* '''Warp Trap''' - This tile warps any Pokémon who steps on it to a random location on the same floor.

* '''Spiked Tile''' - Any Pokémon that steps on a Spiked Tile will lose 20 HP.

* '''Grimy Trap''' - A random few Apples, Big Apples, Huge Apples, Golden Apples, Chestnuts, Bananas, or other edible food sources in the player's bag will be turned into Grimy Food. Grimy Food restores the player's Belly by 30, but gives a [[Status ailment|status condition]].

* '''Slow Trap''' - Temporarily lowers the Pokémon's [[Stats#Speed|Speed]] by one.

* '''Spin Trap''' - Inflicts the [[Status_ailment#Confusion|Confuse]] condition on the Pokémon who stepped on it.

* '''Pokémon Trap''' - All unclaimed items in the same room turn into enemy Pokémon of the species that naturally occur on that floor.

* '''PP-Zero Trap''' - The Pokémon who triggered the Trap will have one of its move's PP reduced to 0.

* '''Seal Trap''' - One move belonging to the Pokémon who stepped on this tile can no longer be used. This wears off upon reaching the next floor.

* '''Mud Trap''' - Mud splashes up from this Trap, lowering the Pokémon's [[Stats#Attack|Attack]], [[Stats#Defense|Defense]], [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]] or [[Stats#Special Defense|Special Defense]].

* '''Slumber Trap''' - This Trap puts the Pokémon who stepped on it to sleep.

* '''Summon Trap''' - 1 to 4 Pokémon that are naturally found on that floor will appear on the squares adjacent to this Trap.

* '''Gust Trap''' - Sends the triggerer flying 10 squares in a random direction. If the Pokémon hits another Pokémon or a wall it will lose 5 HP (As will the other Pokémon).

* '''Poison Trap''' - Inflicts the [[Status_ailment#Poison|Poison]] condition on any Pokémon who steps on it.

=Other=
There are many other tiles present, which limits the access to only specific Pokémon.

*'''Water tiles''' - Special areas of water, which only {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon can cross through. However, Pokémon who fly or levitate, or those with the [[IQ]], All-terrain Hiker, can cross through the water.

*'''Lava''' - Special areas of lava, which only {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon can cross through. However, Pokémon who fly or levitate, or those with the [[IQ]], All-terrain Hiker, can cross through the lava.

*'''Walls''' - Walls surround dungeons, however many Pokémon which seem to fly or levitate, such as {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon, can pass through on top of them. However, passing through walls makes the belly drop five times more faster than the average speed.

Pokémon food

2008-11-27T03:20:15Z

Dialgalover: /* Eating other Pokémon */

'''Pokémon food''' is a broad term used for almost any food a [[Pokémon]] eats. Despite the variety of both Pokémon and Pokémon food, nearly every Pokémon will eat any kind of Pokémon food. This may mean that the majority of Pokémon are [[wp:Omnivore|omnivorous]]. Several species are even capable of consuming things not normally viewed as edible from a human perspective, such as minerals, electrical energy or even dreams and emotions.

==In the games==
===Standard Pokémon games===
====Bait====
First introduced in the [[Generation I]] games and used in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], this food will make a [[wild Pokémon]] less likely to run away but more difficult to [[Captured Pokémon|catch]]. An unlimited supply of Bait is provided for use in the Safari Zone.

====Berries====
''Main article: [[Berries]]''

First introduced in the [[Generation II]] games, berries are a type of item which, unlike [[Potion]]s or [[Vitamin]]s, are portrayed as food rather than [[wp:Medication|Medicine]]. A Pokémon may hold this item and, if needed, eat it during a [[Pokémon battle|battle]] to heal itself or cause other effects.

====Pokéblocks====
''Main article: [[Pokéblock]]''

First introduced in the [[Generation III]] games, Pokéblocks are a type of candy which are blended from berries and given to a Pokémon to raise its condition in several areas. The flavor, level, and feel of the Pokéblock is determined by the ingredients which compose it and how well it is blended.

A Pokémon can only eat a certain number of Pokéblocks before it is full and cannot eat any more. The lower the feel of the Pokéblock, the less it fills the Pokémon up, and the more Pokéblocks a Pokémon can eat.

Pokéblocks can also be put on a feeder in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] to lure [[wild Pokémon]] out. After being there for a while, however, the Pokéblock will eventually be eaten. It can also be used in encounters in the Safari Zone in the same manner as bait.

====Poffin====
''Main article: [[Poffin]]''

First introduced in [[Generation IV]], Poffins are similar to Pokéblocks. A Poffin will raise the the condition of a Pokémon in at least one of five categories: Smart, Cute, Tough, Beauty, and Cool. The flavor and feel of a Poffin is still taken into account just as in a Pokéblock. The main difference is that Poffins are pastries and Pokéblocks are candy.

====Honey====
''Main article: [[Honey]]''

First introduced in [[Generation IV]], Honey can be slathered onto a Honey Tree to attract wild Pokémon. It works similarly to Pokéblocks in the Safari Zone; it can be placed in a specific location and will disappear (presumably eaten) after some time. However, only one Pokémon can be found on a honey tree for one Honey slathered onto it.

===Other Pokémon games===
[[Image:MeowthEatApple.jpg|frame|200px|right|{{p|Meowth}} eating an apple.]]
====Apples====
In [[Pokémon Snap]], one of the few [[item]]s provided is Pokémon Food. This is an unlimited supply of apples which [[Todd Snap]] can throw to the [[wild Pokémon]]. Many Pokémon will happily eat the food, and it can be used to lure them to a new spot since they may walk to where the food was thrown. A well-aimed throw may also hit the Pokémon with the apple, causing them to [[Status ailment#Flinch|flinch]], [[faint]], or become upset.

[[Professor Oak]] will provide Todd with Pokémon Food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

Different types of [[Food and Gummis|apples]] are available in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}.

====Poké Snacks====
These are used in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] to lure [[wild Pokémon]] to [[Poké Spot]]s. They look like a slice of a yellow cake, with each slice being one-tenth of the cake. Up to ten can be placed at each Poké Spot.

The [[P*DA]] monitors the Poké Snacks at each Poké Spot, and will inform [[Michael]] how many are at each Poké Spot and when a wild Pokémon is eating them. If Michael doesn't return to the Poké Spot quickly, the wild Pokémon may eat all the Poké Snacks he had there.

Sometimes a {{p|Munchlax}} will appear at a Poké Spot. When this happens, its [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] will arrive, apologize, and give ten new Poké Snacks for any the Munchlax may have eaten.

====Food and Gummis====
''Main article: [[Food and Gummis]]''

There are a variety of different kinds of Pokémon food in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Examples include various types of gummis (Gold, Green, Black), and other foods such as Berries and apples. Gummis have an effect on the player's IQ, while apples fill up the belly. Berries cause many effects, such as healing the player's HP and stats. All food will have a small effect on the belly as well.

====Sushi====
[[Image:Pokemonfood.jpg|thumb|right|160px|{{p|Aerodactyl}}'s favorite food.]]
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, a mini-game called "Sushi-Go-Round" features several {{p|Lickitung}} competing in a race against the clock to eat the most pieces of sushi. Some pieces are too spicy for the {{p|Lickitung}}, causing them to momentarily spin around in anguish, stalling them for time.

====Other Food====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] there are many more different kinds of food than in other Pokémon games. There are foods such as {{wp|cupcake}}s, {{wp|acorn}}s, {{wp|mushroom}}s, {{wp|corn}}, {{wp|carrot}}s, {{wp|onion}}s, {{wp|herbs}}, {{wp|radish}}es, {{wp|apple}}s, and {{wp|banana}}s. Other things were edible even though they were not food, like flowers and other plants.

==In the anime==
[[Image:SnoruntApple.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Ash's Snorunt]] eating an apple.]]
[[Image:Slowking Eating.JPG|right|thumb|200px|A {{p|Slowking}} drinking milk from a {{wp|coconut}}.]]
Pokémon food has appeared in the anime as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a sort of kibble. Several [[Pokémon Trainer]]s will make their own, especially [[Pokémon Breeder]]s like [[Brock]]. The flavor is not always agreeable with humans, as shown by the fact that [[Seymour]] was able to eat it without any problem, but [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] tried some and reacted badly. Good Pokémon food tastes great to Pokémon, however.

Brock often offers Pokémon food to try and gain a Pokémon's trust, such as a baby {{p|Stantler}} in ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', and a [[Brock's Marshtomp|Mudkip]] in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' which he caught after befriending. Most Pokémon are extremely fond of his food, with the exception of a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'' which outright refused it.

Pokémon are also known to eat [[rice ball]]s in the anime. In fact, some Pokémon, such as [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]], loved to eat them more than anything else. As shown by {{an|Lucario}} and {{MTR}}, Pokémon are also able to eat chocolate. In the dub, these rice balls are often changed in the script to donuts.

==Eating other Pokémon==
In the original Pokémon games and concept, it seems that most Pokémon were more animal-like. As such, wild Pokémon were originally portrayed as eating one another by some sources, in a very animal-like prey-predator system; for example, on the [[Official Pokémon Handbook]]'s entry for {{p|Pidgeot}}, it is said that "''When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}.''" The Handbook also lists {{p|Golbat}} as drinking the blood of its enemies, not just the 'energy' it uses when referring to {{m|Leech Life}} in {{p|Zubat}}'s entry.

However, this theme does not seem to have been explored in the anime or the games; it seems the closest thing is found in attacks that steal an opponent's HP. This may be because of moral issues; as the anime and games progress, Pokémon seem to be growing more human, with personalities etc., and so such behaviour might be too close to cannibalism. However, some Pokédex entries still refer to Pokémon preying on each other, or at least sucking life force, as with {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}. The Pokédex in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} also claims that {{p|Taillow}} feed on {{p|Wurmple}} (which is further explored in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}} when Wurmple thinks its partner, {{p|Swellow}} will eventually eat it).

In the [[Generation II]] games, the player will encounter a [[Team Rocket]] grunt selling a [[Slowpoketail]] at [[Route 32]] and [[Mahogany Town]]. When first introduced, the grunt describes it as a delicacy, hinting that the tails of [[Slowpoke]] are edible. This subject remains controversial in the [[Pokémon world]].

'''Enta''' (Japanese: '''エンタ''' ''Enta'') is the main character from [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]]. He is a young boy who wants to be a strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He receives an invitation from [[Scott]] to enter the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} but is unable to compete with the professionals. He solves this by befriending [[Rald]] and [[Mitsuki]] to teach him how to [[Pokémon battle|battle]] better.

Enta is hyperactive, and his clothes resemble a miniature version of {{ga|Brendan}}'s from {{game|Emerald}}.

Dungeon tile

2008-11-15T07:17:34Z

Dialgalover:

{{Incomplete}}
{{cleanup}}
'''Dungeon Tiles''' are tiles found in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and its sequel. One type of tile are the '''Trap Tiles'''. The tiles are placed randomly on the floor but Trap Tiles appear only in post-{{p|Rayquaza}} dungeons. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, Trap Tiles are first encountered in [[Amp Plains]].

=Dungeon Tiles=

* '''Stairs''' - To further advance in a dungeon a player must find the stairs.

* '''Warp Points''' - Warp Points are found at the last floor of some optional dungeons. It instantly warps the team out of the dungeon.

* '''Wonder Tile''' - Varying numbers of these can be found on a floor. If there is a yellow arrow above the player's or partner's head (indicating a status problem such as lowered defense, accuracy, etc.), stepping on one of these will restore the normal state. However, it also cancels stat increments of the Pokémon.

* '''Carpet''' - If the player finds a {{p|Kecleon}} shop, items are placed on these. The player may either buy or steal the items, however, thieves are confronted by a very high-level Kecleon.

=Traps=
'''Traps''' are special dungeon tiles that makes the game harder to play. These tiles can make the team's Pokémon lose [[HP]], [[PP]], inflict [[status conditions]], etc.

* '''Chestnut Trap'''- When stepped on, it will dump chestnuts on the player/ally that takes away 10 HP.

* '''Pitfall Trap''' - If the player steps on it, it will inflict damage and warp the player to the next floor of the dungeon. When an ally steps on it, the team member will be removed from the dungeon.

* ''' Sticky Trap ''' -This tile will randomly make a couple of items sticky, making them totally useless unless the player uses a Cleanse Orb.

* '''Selfdestruct Trap''' - This tile blows up when stepped on and does damage to Pokémon within a 1-tile radius. It will take away half of the player's and player's friends current HP, and does 40 damage to wild Pokémon.

* '''Explosion Trap''' - This tile blows up when stepped on and does damage to Pokémon within a 2-tile radius. It will take away half of the player's and player's friends current HP, and does 80 damage to wild Pokémon.

* '''Warp Trap''' - This tile warps a Pokémon who steps on it to a random location on the same floor.

* '''Spiked Tile''' - Any Pokémon that steps on a Spiked Tile will lose 20 HP.

* '''Grimy Trap''' - One Apple, Big Apple, Huge Apple, Chestnut, Banana, or other edible food source in the player's bag will be turned into Grimy Food. Grimy Food restores your Belly, but gives you a [[Status ailment|status condition]].

* '''Slow Trap''' - Temporarily lowers the Pokémon's [[Stats#Speed|Speed]] by one.

* '''Spin Trap''' - Inflicts the [[Status_ailment#Confusion|Confuse]] condition.

* '''Pokémon Trap''' - All unclaimed items in the same room turn into enemy Pokémon of the species that naturally occur on that floor.

* '''PP-Zero Trap''' - The Pokémon who triggered the Trap will have one of its moves PP reduced to 0.

* '''Seal Trap''' - One move belonging to the Pokémon who stepped on this tile can no longer be used. This wears off upon reaching the next floor.

* '''Mud Trap''' - Mud splashes up from this Trap, lowering the Pokémon's [[Stats#Attack|Attack]], [[Stats#Defense|Defense]], [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]] and [[Stats#Special Defense|Special Defense]].

* '''Slumber Trap''' - This Trap puts the Pokémon who stepped on it to sleep.

* '''Summon Trap''' - 1-4 Pokémon that are naturally found on that floor will appear on the squares adjacent to this Trap.

* '''Gust Trap''' - Sends the triggerer flying 10 squares in a random direction. If the Pokémon hits another Pokémon or a wall it will lose 5 HP (As will the other Pokémon).

* '''Poison Trap''' - Inlficts the [[Status_ailment#Poison|Poison]] condition on any Pokémon who steps on it.

Exclusive item

2008-11-15T04:32:41Z

Dialgalover: /* Trivia */

{{incomplete}}
'''Trade items''' are a certain kind of item the player can collect in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. When in the treasure bag, they help party Pokémon in different ways. Every different Pokémon and Pokémon [[type]] has a set of items that can affect them. For example, the Cynda-Hair boosts the Special Defense of {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s evolutionary line, and the Poison Dust boosts the attack and special attack of {{t|Poison}} Pokémon.

The same effect from different items stack, but multiple copies of the same item do not.

If two or more compatible trade items are brought to {{p|Croagunk}} at the Guild, he can trade them in for a rarer trade item. For example, if the player has the Bulba-Fang and the Bulba-Claw, which are both 1-star rare trade items for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, Croagunk will trade them in for a Grass Guard, Bulbasaur's 2-star rare item.

If a Bulba-Fang, Bulba-Claw, and Grass Guard are brought to Croagunk, he will trade them in for the very rare Leafy Tie, Bulbasaur's 3-star rare item. Each [[legendary Pokémon]] has their own 3-star item as well, which can be found in locked doors in dungeons.

Trade items are usually found in a [[Treasure Box]] taken from defeated enemies, which are then appraised by {{p|Xatu}}.
==Type specialist items==

Type specialist items are items that, when placed in the Toolbox, help boost the abilities of the Pokémon that are of that item's type. For example, if a Joy Globe is placed in the Toolbox, every {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon in the team, even if dual-type, will gain its effects. However, like any other item, these items can also be lost when defeated.

==Pokémon specialised items==
The items listed here are items that are specific to a Pokémon. However, the abilities of those items are shared within an evolutionary line. For example, if a Grass-Guard ({{p|Bulbasaur}} specific item) is placed in a team with {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Venusaur}}, both of these Pokémon will have 10 points added to their max HP. Of course, like any other item, these items can also be lost when defeated.

Exclusive item

2008-11-15T04:28:22Z

Dialgalover: /* Regular Pokémon */

{{incomplete}}
'''Trade items''' are a certain kind of item the player can collect in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. When in the treasure bag, they help party Pokémon in different ways. Every different Pokémon and Pokémon [[type]] has a set of items that can affect them. For example, the Cynda-Hair boosts the Special Defense of {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s evolutionary line, and the Poison Dust boosts the attack and special attack of {{t|Poison}} Pokémon.

The same effect from different items stack, but multiple copies of the same item do not.

If two or more compatible trade items are brought to {{p|Croagunk}} at the Guild, he can trade them in for a rarer trade item. For example, if the player has the Bulba-Fang and the Bulba-Claw, which are both 1-star rare trade items for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, Croagunk will trade them in for a Grass Guard, Bulbasaur's 2-star rare item.

If a Bulba-Fang, Bulba-Claw, and Grass Guard are brought to Croagunk, he will trade them in for the very rare Leafy Tie, Bulbasaur's 3-star rare item. Each [[legendary Pokémon]] has their own 3-star item as well, which can be found in locked doors in dungeons.

Trade items are usually found in a [[Treasure Box]] taken from defeated enemies, which are then appraised by {{p|Xatu}}.
==Type specialist items==

Type specialist items are items that, when placed in the Toolbox, help boost the abilities of the Pokémon that are of that item's type. For example, if a Joy Globe is placed in the Toolbox, every {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon in the team, even if dual-type, will gain its effects. However, like any other item, these items can also be lost when defeated.

Talk:MissingNo./Featured article candidate/Nomination 1

====Support (8)====
* This has got to be the most comprehensive, complete, and informative Glitch Pokémon Bulbapedia has to offer. Surely a precendent to be set for all the stub-esque Glitch Pokémon articles with little more than an infobox, vague information, and MAYBE a learneset. I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 15:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
* I agree with Missingno. Master. <strike>That, and i love Missingno., awesome Glitch.</strike> [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 15:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
*Very detailed, very self-explanatory. I nominate. '''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''02:49 6 Sep 2008'''''
* I AGREE [[User:Cal05000|cal05000]] 07:53, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
* I Agree [[User:Theininen|Thein]][[User talk:Theininen|inen]] 20:35, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
* MissingNo. was one of the most significant elements of Pokémon in the early days of Red/Blue in America. I believe that information on Ketsuban and how it was viewed in the Japanese perspective are the main missing information that would make said article perfect. Despite this however, MissingNo.'s significance far outweighs any other game element, at least to the players of Red/Blue; I highly doubt that there is anyone who played Red/Blue who knew not of MissingNo. at some point or another, though the truth about MissingNo. is still largely unknown to the general populace, and it is still looked down upon for the deeds of its fellows such as chiisai-u and 'm. For it's importance in the Rare Candy Code, it's reappearance in the Mew Glitch, and its infamous nature to Red/Blue players, MissingNo. is the ONLY Glitch Pokémon notable enough to be featured. And it IS notable, and worthy of being a Feature Article. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 13:43, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
* MISSINGNO. was the ''original'' OG, and not FA'ing his/her/its/your mom's article is a major disservice what could quickly dissolve into a riot. [[User:Missingno000|欠番]] 18:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

*The article was amazingly detailed, which is the point of such a place as Bulbapedia, so I'm baffled by complaints of it being 'too detailed'. Yes, it was written by a fan, but isn't that the point of this place as well? To discard this article because a few people aren't a fan of Staryu in particular would be a crime, since there are indeed many fans out there, or people who may simply be wanting to know a thing or two. Those people now have a very fine and well researched resource when they need information. You can tell this guy put a lot of work into tracking all these details down.

====Other comments====
To the people who said they don't get why it was nominated, I did explain in the talk page. Plus, I have noticed something here. This is the only article that has more object votes than support. Something else I notice is that this article is the only that doesn't cover an extremely broad subject like the others. It seems to me that the rest of you are only supporting articles that have a lot of writing (and therefore huge) and are objecting ones that are more specialized, such as this. If this is the case I find it insurmountably injust as a featured article should not be judged on quantity but rather quality, as stated by the criteria. Although this article is still quite big anyways. Finally, I hardly think that any of the informaton in the article is irrelevant. The article requires informtion about Staryu's history and that's what has been detailed. Its not a list of everytime Staryu has appeared from its pokeball as a) Its not in lst format and b) Staryu has been sent out A LOT more times than the article specifies (for lack of a better verb) so if it was the list would be much bigger so don't make it out to be.[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 20:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Can I say something? Some of you have said that this article was just created by a fanboy/girl and the details are over exaggerated. Well couldn't we say the same thing for Brock's page? Most of it was written by a Brock fan that has a lot of information that has been stretched, yet a lot of people have been nominating it for a featured article. Why is this any different? The person was being descriptive with this article just like with Brock's. What? Just cause it's not written by an admin makes it not worthy to be nominated? As for my choice, I'm indifferent about it right now. I'm just letting you know that we have an over descripted article like this one yet it is being praised while this one is being looked down upon. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:35, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

If I might say something? I added to this article because it stated itself it was one of Misty's most used Pokémon, yet there was no detail. I tried to stick to important events and group them together, same as I did for Misty's Starmie. I'm so glad that it has got so much attention, thank you. And yes, I am a fanboy. Is there a problem with that? I have tried to be unbiased, but if you like, I'll add a few more bits about its defeats and other ignominies. [[User:Starmie121]] 02:35, 16th August 2008 (GMT)

IQ

2008-11-07T11:39:39Z

Dialgalover:

{{incomplete}}

'''IQ''' is a skill system in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. By gaining IQ points, various benefits are received. It is increased by feeding [[Food and Gummis#Gummis|Gummis]] to individual Pokémon.

As a Pokémon's IQ increases, they learn a number of skills to help travelling in dungeons. IQ also takes on some of the effects that [[happiness]] has in the main series meaning that certain Pokémon require an increased IQ to evolve.

While this game mechanic is named after [[wp:Intelligence quotient|Intelligence quotient]], there is a difference between the two. When speaking to {{p|Alakazam}} or {{p|Noctowl}} in dungeons, they will mention their high IQ, regardless of how many points they have in this mechanic.

==IQ points==
While the actual IQ points of a Pokémon is a hidden number, their level of IQ is represented through the number of stars in their summary. From this, it is possible to find out the approximate range of a Pokémon's IQ number.

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}
|-
| style="background: #ccf;" | Stars
| 1
| 2
| 3
| 4
| 5
| 6
| 7

| 10
| 11
| MAX
|-
| style="background: #ccf;" | IQ
| 0
| 10
| 50
| 100
| 150
| 200
| 300
| 400
| 500
| 600
| 700
| 990
|}

The number of IQ points a Pokémon gains from each gummi depends on the type of gummi. Each is said to be preferred by a particular type. The relation of that type to the type of the Pokémon being given the gummi can be used to work out the amount of IQ points the Pokémon will gain:

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Relation to type
! IQ points gained
|-
| Matches
| 7
|-
| Strong
| 4
|-
| Neutral
| 3
|-
| Weak
| 2
|-
| Ineffective
| 1
|}

In the case of dual-types, this is calculated for both types individually with the two totals then being added together. Because of this Pokémon with two types will increase their IQ at a faster rate than Pokémon with just one type. The effectiveness of a type against a Pokémon of the same type does not impact as the same type automatically gains the seven points in that case.

For an example, take a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon such as {{p|Swampert}}. A Blue (Water) Gummi will add 11 IQ points as it is a Water type (+7) and Water attacks are strong against Ground Pokémon (+4). A Yellow (Electric) Gummi will add 5 IQ points as Electric attacks are strong against Water Pokémon (+4) and ineffective against Ground Pokémon (+1).

==IQ skills==
A Pokémon's IQ skills can be checked in the menu under each individual team member at any time in dungeons or friend areas. While there are a total of 23 skills, it is only possible to have twelve active at a time. While the five skills without a group can be active simultaneously, there can only be one active skill from groups 1-7 at any time.

| Item Catcher
| All Pokémon
| The Pokémon can catch and hold a thrown item. It can’t make a catch if it is already holding an item. It also can’t catch Seeds and drink items.
|
|-
| 0
| -
| Course Checker
| Partner Pokémon
| If this Pokémon has a foe targeted for a move or a thrown item, it will check first for walls and other Pokémon that may get in the way. It will stop if there is an obstacle.
| In the case of [[move duplication|linked moves]], Course Checker will only check the first one. So if the combination is {{m|Growl}}+{{m|Razor Leaf}}, the Razor Leafs could still be wasted as it has more terrain limitations than Growl.
|-

| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will focus on traveling. It will use moves and items less often.
| As long as moving is an option, the partner will do so and not stop to attack any nearby Pokémon.
|-

| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will only use moves. It will not use its regular attack.
| This can be used in conjunction with the move menu to get the partner to use a particular attack.
|-

| G
| PP Checker
| Partner Pokémon
| The Pokémon will stop using linked moves that are on the verge of delinking. It also stops using moves with no PP left.
| As it is possible to stop partners using a particular move, this can safely be switched with Exclusive Move-User when required.
|-
| 10
| B
| Efficiency Expert
| Partner Pokémon
| When battling several foes, the Pokémon will first target Pokémon with the lowest HP.
| As the weaker foes are likely to go down in one hit, this allows the leader to focus on the stronger ones without the annoyance of the attacks from the weakest.
|-
| 25

| Partner Pokémon
| If its target has a status problem, the Pokémon will not use moves that cause the same status problem.

|-

| Super Mobile
| All Pokémon
| The Pokémon gains the ability to walk on water, lava, and clouds. It can also dig its way through walls.
| Digging through walls with this skill does not increase belly consumption. Partners will tend to dig their own path so are better suited to All-Terrain Hiker.

==Evolution==
All Pokémon that evolve by happiness in the main series require an increased IQ to evolve in Mystery Dungeon. The number of IQ stars required varies between species.

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}

|}

==Moves==
The moves {{m|Frustration}} and {{m|Return}} deal set damage depending on the IQ level. With no IQ points, Return does 5HP damage while Frustration does 45HP damage. At maximum IQ, these values are reversed. While they are weak attacks in Mystery Dungeon, Frustration is useful in [[Wish Cave]], [[Joyous Tower]] and [[Purity Forest]] where the Pokémon's IQ level is temporarily reduced to 0 along with their level being temporarily reduced 1.

A select few Pokémon can learn special moves if their IQ is high enough:

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}

|}

==IQ groups==
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Pokémon are split into 10 IQ groups (from A to I), which affects what types of IQ skills they will learn. What follows is a list of skills and which Group they belong to. Note that some IQ skills appear in more than one group, especially those which are learnt at the start. Also, unlike in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|first games]], every IQ skill can be turned on.

Team Skull (Mystery Dungeon)

2008-11-02T08:41:20Z

Dialgalover:

'''Team Skull''' is a villainous team from ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness]]''. It consists of {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Zubat}}. The team is frequently antagonistic with the party over the course of the game.

When they are first encountered, only Zubat and Koffing are present, hiding behind a pole at the [[Wigglytuff Guild]]. When they appear next, both attack the partner, steal the [[Relic Fragment]], and run off into {{OBP|Beach Cave|Mystery Dungeon}}. Following them, the partner demands the Relic Fragment, but Koffing and Zubat refuse. A battle commences between both groups. Upon Koffing and Zubat's defeat, the Relic Fragment will be returned, and the enemy running off.

Later, the head of the team, Skuntank, arrives, and proves to be exceptionally tough and clever. They attempt to earn their way into the Guild's exploration, in order to later turn on them and take their treasures. When {{p|Chatot}} assigns the player and partner to pick up Perfect Apples, Team Skull beats them to the location, eats all the apples, and easily knocks out the player's team with Skuntank and Koffing's "noxious gas combo". Upon returning to the guild, Chatot is very unhappy with the player's failure, refusing to hear the explanation about what happened, and the player's team is sent to bed without dinner as punishment. Skuntank then presents Wigglytuff with a Perfect Apple, and is made out to be the hero.

During the Guild exploration, Skuntank and Koffing try to knock out Wigglytuff, but Wigglytuff ends up taking them out instead. After the expedition, Team Skull wanted to plan revenge on Wigglytuff, but they realize they are no match for him. Later, Zubat proposes that they should target on the player's team since they are "wimpy". Skuntank agrees and a few days later, they steals the Marill brothers' Water Float, then puts it in the deepest part of Amp Plains, hoping that the player's team will be attacked by the {{p|Luxio}} tribe there.

During the last part of the main story, the player's team goes to [[Brine Cave]] with the Relic Fragment to gain access to the [[Hidden Land]], but toward the end, Team Skull appears again and steals the Relic Fragment once again. However, they are ambushed by a group of {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After these fossil Pokémon are defeated, Skuntank ends up giving the Relic Fragment back to the player's team.

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type2|Ground}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans.

In [[Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Emerald]], Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Ruby]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land, as shown by the rocky plates on its back. It is colored red, possibly a reference to its relation with volcanoes. Its body is modeled after a behemoth, a creature of legends and religious texts (particularly the Bible) that ruled the land. However, the behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way that {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the leviathan, Groudon's design may be based on lizards or various dinosaurs. It has red armor plating with a gray belly and spikes running from its head down to its tail.
====Gender differences====
Groudon is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Groudon has the [[ability]] {{a|Drought}}, which causes constant [[Weather conditions|bright sunlight]] similar to the effects of {{m|Sunny Day}} whenever the Pokémon is in battle. Like {{p|Kyogre}}, the strong sunlight lasts for 5 turns after Groudon leaves the battle.

===Behavior===
Slow, stoic, and heavy (2094 pounds--a little over a ton), this super-heavyweight created the land, according to Hoenn legend. It appears in Ruby version normally (fighting/catching it is a major plot element), but does not appear in Sapphire. In Emerald, it is available after beating the Elite Four.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
In ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wishes to use {{p|Jirachi}} to bring forth Groudon.
[[Image:TheScuffleoftheLegends.jpg|thumb|right|Groudon in the anime]]
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Groudon battles against {{p|Kyogre}}.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.
 

==In the manga==
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of Team Magma, so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and Aqua formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. Wallace, Brawly and Roxanne tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed.

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

==In the TFG==
One Groudon figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Groudon|3}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up alot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} causing anyone to come into contact with it to be set on fire and sent flying.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, [[Uxie]] creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
* The markings on its hands resemble an M, as in [[Team Magma|Magma]]. It shares this characteristic with {{p|Kyogre}}.
* Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon in existence, being 500 pounds heavier than {{p|Giratina}}'s Another Forme.
* Groudon and its counterpart, {{p|Kyogre}}, are the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Groudon shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Groudon's gender is unkown in the main games but it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
*Groudon and {{p|Regigigas}} might have a connection. It states in the Regigigas's Pokédex entry that it once pulled the continents with rope, while Groudon is known as the Continent Pokémon. Also, both Pokémon are strongly connected to the land.
*Groudon is the only non {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]] able to learn {{m|Fire Blast}} by level up.
*Groudon's [[Generation IV]] back sprites are very similar to its [[Generation III]] back sprites, except with different shading and an open mouth.

===Origin===
Groudon is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the {{wp|behemoth}}, the gigantic primeval master of all land creatures. Its counterpart was the {{wp|leviathan}}.

====Name origin====
Groudon's name appears to be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'', which is Spanish for lord — hence, lord of the ground.
The suffix -don is also used in the names of many dinosaurs and large animals, and means "tooth". Groudon has large teeth, and also somewhat resembles a dinosaur.
Although possibly a coincidence, its name also includes 土 ''do'', ground.

Wigglytuff's Guild

2008-10-28T01:21:33Z

Dialgalover:

{{incomplete}}
'''Wigglytuff's Guild''' is where the player and partner start their adventure as an Exploration Team in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. This is also where {{p|Croagunk}}'s Swap Shop and {{p|Chimecho}} Assmembly are located. After the player finishes the game, the player and the partner is given the opportunity to graduate from the Guild. Even after that, the player is still tied to the guild in some ways. The guild is apparently northeast from [[Treasure Town]].
==The Guild==
[[Image:Wigglytuffguild.JPG|thumb|250px|right|The Wigglytuff Guild]]
===Entrance===
The head of a {{p|Wigglytuff}} on a tent-like object is the entrance to the Guild. A grate is right in front of the entrance. Visitors or Guild members have to step on the grate to let the {{wp|sentry}} (usually {{p|Diglett}}) verify whether they are wanted Pokémon.
Entering the Guild brings the player into an entrance hall. In this small room there is a board featuring the guild's extended motto, counting from one to ten, and also the ladder descending into the first sublevel. According to Bidoof's diary,
Chatot sleeps on the top rung at night and prevents the guild members from leaving.

===Sublevel One===
This is where Chimecho Assembly, the Outlaw Notice Board and the Job Bulletin Board are located. A signboard that has questions all over it is near the Job Bulletin Board.
===Sublevel Two===
This is the larger of the two sublevels. It is where the Croagunk Swap Shop, entrance to the Sentry Post, {{p2|Wigglytuff|Guild Master's}} chamber, Crew Rooms and the Mess Hall are located.
===Crew Room===
There are three crew rooms, the north on belongs to {{p|Sunflora}} (and possibly {{p|Chimecho}}, as she is mentioned to look at Sunflora while she writes in her diary), the East one to the Hero and his partner and the south one to {{p|Bidoof}} (also {{p|Corphish}} and {{p|Loudred}}, as seen in Bidoof's journal). According to Bidoof's journal, {{p|Croagunk}} often comes to his crew room to sleep. After the hero gets {{p|Drowzee}} from Mt. Travail, Azurill is found having a nightmare in their ex-crew room.

===Mess Hall===
This is where meals are taken after the day has ended.
==The Members==
[[Image:Wigglytuffguildmembers.JPG|thumb|250px|right|Members of the Guild, including Team [[Poképals]]]]
*{{p|Sunflora}}
:Sunflora lives in the North Crew Room. Her diary is found there. She is the one who reveals the location of the Surrounded Sea to the player and partner. Her quote is "Oh My Gosh!".
*{{p|Corphish}}
:Corphish has no particular role in the game. He tells the player how to take multiple jobs, like {{p|Snubbull}} in the previous games. His quote is "Hey, hey!".
*{{p|Loudred}}
:Loudred is the 'alarm clock' of the Guild. He also supervises {{p|Diglett}} during sentry duty, but he is known to get angry if Diglett does not know the visitor. He has apparently taken the Guild graduation exam...and failed miserably.
*{{p|Dugtrio}}
:Dugtrio's role is to update the Outlaw Notice Board and the Job Bulletin Board, both of which are boards that can rotate.
*{{p|Diglett}}
:Diglett is usually the sentry, but the player is sometimes called to do sentry duty. The player can voluntarily do sentry duty after graduation.
*{{p|Croagunk}}
:Croagunk runs the Croagunk Swap Shop.
*{{p|Chimecho}}
:Chimecho runs the Chimecho Assembly.
*{{p|Bidoof}}
:Bidoof lives in the south crew room. He has a diary there. Bidoof is asked to help in the player's graduation exam by dragging a bunch of leaves over the hole the player and partner falls into; however, Bidoof pulls away the leaves, thinking that it is too dark. His quote is "Yup Yup"!
[[Image:GuildmasterWigglytuff.JPG|thumb|250px|right|Guildmaster Wigglytuff and Chatot]]
*{{p|Chatot}}
:Chatot is {{p|Wigglytuff}}'s right hand Pokémon. He has traveled to [[Brine Cave]] with Wigglytuff and saved him. When he travels to the cave again with the player, he saves the player and their partner. Chatot easily gets angry when jobs are badly done, or when the Perfect Apple stock goes down.
*{{p|Wigglytuff}}
:Wigglytuff is the guildmaster (and the 'grand master of all things bad'). Wigglytuff has an erratic personality, and is described by Loudred as "special in all sorts of ways." One of Wigglytuff's quirks is occasionally falling asleep with his eyes wide open. Wigglytuff loves Perfect Apples, which can be inferred by the way he caused the guild to shake (another of Wigglytuff's quirks) when he learned of their absence. Wigglytuff is apparently very powerful, as he survived {{p|Koffing}}'s and {{p|Skuntank}}'s stink combo and even defeated Team Skull. In the Mystery Dungeon 2 Special, it is shown that when Wigglytuff shouts "Yoom Tah!", it is his {{m|Hyper Voice}} attack.
===Temporary members===
*{{p|Koffing}}
:Koffing is a member of [[Team Skull]]. He and {{p|Zubat}} steal the player's partner's Relic Fragment at the beginning of the game. Koffing teams up with {{p|Skuntank}} to perform a stink combo which knocks out the player and his partner. However, this stink combo fails to work on Wigglytuff.
*{{p|Zubat}}
:Zubat is a member of Team Skull. He teamed up with {{p|Koffing}} to steal the player's partner's Relic Fragment. In the Perfect Apple event, he is knocked out by Koffing's and Skuntank's stink combo.
*{{p|Skuntank}}
:Skuntank is the leader of Team Skull. He teams up with {{p|Koffing}} to perform their stink combo. Skuntank is very cunning. For example, he eats all of the Perfect Apples in an attempt to make the player and their partner fail their mission and thus not be accepted into the guild's expedition. Skuntank and his team stole the player's partner's Relic Fragment a second time during the Brine Cave mission, but he eventually gave the item back after being defeated by {{p|Kabutops}} and the {{p|Omastar}} brothers. As bad and cunning as he can be, he seems to be a good Pokémon due to the way he returns the player's partner's Relic Fragment.

==Morning Cheers==
In the morning, members of the guild shout a cheer before doing their work. The full version, however, is only heard once. After the first time, only the last line "''THREE, SMILES GO FOR MILES!''" is heard. The full version follows:

<ab>A ONE, A TWO...A ONE-TWO-THREE
ONE! DON'T SHIRK WORK!
TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY!
THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!</ab>

==Ten Rules for Exploration Teams==
In the guild's entrance hall, there is a board featuring the guild's rules for the exploration teams. These are the rules written on the board:

{|
|Wigglytuff's Guild
|-
|Ten Rules for Exploration Teams
|}

{|
|One! Don't shirk work!
|-
|Two! Run away and pay!
|-
|Three! Smiles go for miles!
|-
|Four! Once you put a job on your team's list, then use Take Job! That step can't be missed!
|-
|Five! Restock your supplies and rations before heading out on explorations!
|-
|Six! Before you explore, try to think about the moves you should link!
|-
|Seven! While exploring, don't you panic! Stay cool and calm, never manic!
|-
|Eight! Helping all Pokémon in need is an explorer's duty, indeed!
|-
|Nine! Do lots of jobs! That's truly the key! You'll reach Gold Rank. Just wait and see!
|-
|Ten! The money you earn is shared with the guild! That's the way our friendship will build!
|}

The first three rules are recited during the morning cheers every morning.

ROM hack

2008-10-19T05:31:07Z

Dialgalover: /* Pokémon Diamond and Jade */

{{cleanup}}
'''ROM Hacks''', also known as '''fangames''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many honest fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some unscrupulous people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games.

==Pokémon Diamond and Jade==
[[Image:DIAMOND_SPTART.JPG|right|thumb|The start screen of "Pokémon Diamond".]]

Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious '''Pokémon Diamond and Jade''' (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond}} and {{game|Pearl}}). In truth, these games were poor translations versions of a Japanese game known as {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}. Pokémon Jade was sometimes released on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official games licensed by [[Nintendo]].

==Pokémon Chaos Black==
[[Image:CAOB_START.JPG|left|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon Chaos Black.]]
Another famous hack is Pokémon Chaos Black, which is a modification of {{game|FireRed}}. It was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet.

The description on the back of some boxes is a dead giveaway that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Despite that, it does have a forged Official Nintendo Seal. The description is:

''Pokémon Chaos Black Version is the final game presented by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance in the third generation of games for this series. Being touted for adding additional features absent from other Pokemon games in the past, this game begins in Hoenn on a mission too keep Team Magma and Team Aqua from unbalancing Groudon (ground) and Kyogre. Trainers will want to call on their best strategies ever due to the fact that this is one of the most challenging battlefields delivered in a Pokémon game. Pokémon fans are sure to have no problem meeting this challenge and showing off their skills while doing so.''

==Pokémon Green translation==
[[Image:GREEN_START.JPG|right|thumb|The start screen of the translated Pokémon Green.]]
A fan-translated version of {{game|Green}} that was released for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It was a poor translation, and characters were often mixed up or did not make sense. It had many grammar mistakes and spelling errors.

==Pokémon Adventure==
[[Image:POKEMON_ADVENTUERRRR.JPG|left|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of {{wp|Sonic Blast}}, a game for the {{wp|Sega Game Gear}}. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The game was released with no changes to enemies, although the main character {{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}} was replaced by {{p|Pikachu}} and all rings were changed to [[Poké Ball]]s.

==GBC Sapphire==
A copy of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] was released for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It is very different from the legitimate Pokémon Sapphire, but has quality graphics and minor spelling mistakes.

==Pokémon Naranja==
Pokémon Naranja is a hack of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire in which the player plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and goes around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen.

==Pokémon Quartz==
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by VBA users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The bootleg version's box art is a {{p|Gyarados}}. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although a majority of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay.

While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.

==Pokémon Shiny Gold==
[[Image:Barksh.png|thumb|right|Screenshot from ShinyGold]]
Pokémon Shiny Gold is a total conversion of {{game|FireRed}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} remake, much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game|Red}}. It is considered by many to be among the best and one of the highest-quality hacked games, and was runner-up in the Hack of the Year 2007 contest at the [[Pokécommunity]]. Although the game has been released to the ROM community as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell. In response to this, Zel (the creator of the hack) placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features changes to allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a [[Evolutionary stone#Moon Stone|Moon Stone]] rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a [[Type-enhancing item#Metal Coat|Metal Coat]]). The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.

==Pokémon Prism==
[[Image:Mapaf1.png|thumb|right|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game|Gold}}. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007. It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems (not fully implemented as of the second beta release) and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public.

==Moemon==
[[Image:151moemon.png|thumb|left|151 Moemon]]
{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moe}}mon is another hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all characters into {{wp|cosplay}}ers in Pokémon outfits. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon).

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン時の探検隊''') and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン闇の探検隊''') are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the [[Nintendo DS]].

The games are sequels to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. They include the new [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and have some Wi-Fi features, as well as more dual-screen features than their predecessor for the same system (Mystery Dungeon Blue).

An {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|anime adaptation}} of these games has been produced.

These games feature 491 Pokémon; {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} were excluded for they had yet to be officially revealed when the games were released. The games were released on April 20th, 2008.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild the partner loves legends and lore, and his life dream is to find what his personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]], belongs to. Before the partner explains further, the Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{p|Wigglytuff}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{p|Chatot}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The Legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{p|Grovyle}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{p|Dusknoir}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape From the Future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - while the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake, there is a slight chance of breaking the ropes, and it may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the Lake Trio returned the Time Gears back to their original places, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming Primal Dialga. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. The partner even thought of going back to the stockade and ask Dusknoir to reveal the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{p|Celebi}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who replied that the player is Grovyle's friend. However, Grovyle didn't hear what Celebi said, and before the team can react, Grovyle reminds the team to get a move on. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. It is believed that Celebi managed to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the Clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the World ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{p|Wigglytuff}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. three days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

==Dungeon Tips==
*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.
*Pokémon with the Float terrain ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they have the "All-Terrain Hiker" IQ skill or are also {{type2|Fire}}).
*Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.
==Trivia==
*This is the third game to feature the player having to delete the saved data before starting a new game, with the first two being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].
*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender (even the legendaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start, and very few other characters had confirmed genders.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild the partner loves legends and lore, and his life dream is to find what his personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]], belongs to. Before the partner explains further, the Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{p|Wigglytuff}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{p|Chatot}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The Legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{p|Grovyle}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{p|Dusknoir}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape From the Future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - while the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake, there is a slight chance of breaking the ropes, and it may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the Lake Trio returned the Time Gears back to their original places, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming Primal Dialga. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. The player even thought of going back to the stockade and ask Dusknoir to reveal the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{p|Celebi}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who replied that the player is Grovyle's friend. However, Grovyle didn't hear what Celebi said, and before the team can react, Grovyle reminds the team to get a move on. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. It is believed that Celebi managed to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the Clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the World ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{p|Wigglytuff}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. three days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

==Dungeon Tips==
*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.

*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender (even the legendaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start, and very few other characters had confirmed genders.

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン時の探検隊''') and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン闇の探検隊''') are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the [[Nintendo DS]].

The games are sequels to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. They include the new [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and have some Wi-Fi features, as well as more dual-screen features than their predecessor for the same system (Mystery Dungeon Blue).

An {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|anime adaptation}} of these games has been produced.

These games feature 491 Pokémon; {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} were excluded for they had yet to be officially revealed when the games were released. The games were released on April 20th, 2008.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild the partner loves legends and lore, and his life dream is to find what his personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]], belongs to. Before the partner explains further, the Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{p|Wigglytuff}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{p|Chatot}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The Legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{p|Grovyle}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{p|Dusknoir}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape From the Future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - luring the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the Lake Trio saying the Time Gears were returned, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming Primal Dialga. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{p|Celebi}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who finds some interest in the player. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. Celebi manages to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the Clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the World ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{p|Wigglytuff}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. three days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

==Dungeon Tips==
*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.
*Pokémon with the Float terrain ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they have the "All-Terrain Hiker" IQ skill or are also {{type2|Fire}}).
*Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.
==Trivia==
*This is the third game to feature the player having to delete the saved data before starting a new game, with the first two being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].
*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender (even the legendaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start, and very few other characters had confirmed genders.

Boss fantasy

2008-10-11T05:39:38Z

Dialgalover: /* List of boss fantasies */

[[Image:Chibi Giovanni.jpg|right|frame|Meowth's view of Giovanni.]]
The '''boss fantasy''' is a segment in the {{g|anime}} where Meowth thinks of practical uses for the Pokémon being focused on in the current episode. Through this, the Giovanni in Meowth's imagination rewards Team Rocket for their generosity, which gives Jessie and James the motivation to go through with their next plan. The segment debuted in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' and became as regular as the [[Team Rocket motto|motto]] and blast off for a while during the Hoenn saga.

On rare occasions, the fantasy will not pan out to plan and Giovanni's unhappiness encourages the trio to do something else instead.

Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.

'''Following a Maiden's Voyage!''' (Japanese: '''旅立ち！フタバタウンからマサゴタウンへ!!''' ''Setting Off! From {{tt|Futaba|Twinleaf}} Town to {{tt|Masago|Sandgem}} Town!!'') is the first episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 469th episode of the entire {{g|anime}}. It aired in Japan September 28, 2006, the same day as the Japanese release of the Nintendo DS games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It aired in the US on April 20, 2007, two days before the American release of Diamond and Pearl.

This episode begins the journey of {{an|Dawn}}, a ten-year-old girl living in [[Twinleaf Town]] in [[Sinnoh]]. On this day, she travels to [[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory and obtains her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode begins early in the morning, with the sun shining brightly into the bedroom of a young girl who is just waking up on the dawn of one of the most important days of her life: the start of her adventures with [[Pokémon]]. She stays still, then gets up and pushes the window open. Today she will get her [[Starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

Sometime later, the girl, named {{an|Dawn}}, is already half-way dressed when [[Johanna|her mother]] appears. Dawn lets her in along with a {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}. The two greet each other while Glameow rests on the bed Downstairs, mother and daughter discuss Dawn's plans and Dawn pulls out a postcard that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] inviting her to his laboratory to pick up her first Pokémon. The postcard also contains a map to his lab, and pictures of the three Pokémon that she will be able to choose from. Dawn's mother wonders what Pokémon her daughter will choose and Dawn looks over at the pictures of the three Pokémon: {{p|Turtwig}} the {{type2|Grass}}, {{p|Chimchar}} the {{type2|Fire}}, and {{p|Piplup}} the {{type2|Water}}. Dawn then comments that regardless, all three Pokémon would make a great partner in her bid to become a top {{pkmn|Coordinator}} just like her mother. Dawn fantasizes about performing in {{pkmn|Contests}} with the three different Pokémon.

Later, Dawn prepares to leave for her journey, lugging a suitcase behind her. Her mother tells her to pack more sensibly and fits everything Dawn needs in a small backpack. Dawn then sets out towards [[Sandgem Town]] from her home in [[Twinleaf Town]] along {{rt|201}}. She arrives in a town, and runs into a building she believes to be the Professor's lab, only to find that it is a restaurant. She then proceeds to follow every possible direction, getting herself lost. While reading her map, she bumps into a man who reveals himself to be Professor Rowan, who guides her to his laboratory.

Meanwhile, at the lab, Professor Rowan's assistants are chatting while examining and feeding the the three starter Pokémon. However, a fight quickly brews when Chimchar steals the last of Piplup's food. Piplup begins attacking Chimchar with bubbles while Chimchar runs around the lab. While trying to keep Piplup under control, one of the assistants points it towards a {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Staraptor}}, who begin flying around and wrecking books and papers. The two then {{m|fly}} through an open window, followed by Chimchar (with Piplup in hot pursuit). The scientists plan to clean up, but as they begin, Professor Rowan arrives with Dawn.

With only the Turtwig remaining, Dawn asks and is allowed to go and search for the four missing Pokémon. After receiving some tips from Rowan, Dawn runs off towards the forest where the Pokémon were headed. Before she reaches the forest, however, she runs into Chimchar and Piplup, Chimchar still swinging away from Piplup's {{m2|BubbleBeam|bubbles}}. Dawn attempts to calm them down, but they ignore her, Piplup changing its target to her briefly before both disappear into the forest. Dawn runs into the forest after them, only to find Piplup as well as several other Pokémon trapped in a web created by an {{p|Ariados}}. Dawn quickly hatches a plan, causing the Ariados to destroy its own web, landing Piplup safely in her arms. However, after sliding down a hill, Piplup seems very indignant, using Peck on Dawn several times. Dawn begins to berate it, but then realizes that it is simply hungry. However, although Dawn offers it Pokémon food, it seems disdainful and won't eat it. This scene it interrupted when Ariados returns, attacking Dawn and Piplup with several of its friends.

Trapped in a cage created by {{m|String Shot}}, Dawn distracts the Ariados with food while Piplup destroys the cage with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Unfortunately, before Dawn can escape with Piplup, an Ariados trips her with String Shot. However, Piplup uses {{m|Bide}} to absorb the attacks of the Ariados, then destroys them and the cage with a massive energy wave. Shortly after, the Piplup faints, exhausted from having taken all the attacks.

While walking through the forest, Dawn stumbles upon [[Lake Verity]]. While there, she spots Staraptor carrying Chimchar back to the lab, with Starly close behind. Before they can return to the lab, however, the lake ripples, and a mysterious figure appears for a moment before vanishing. When Dawn asks Professor Rowan about it, he notes that it could be the [[legendary Pokémon]] of the lake. Shortly after, Dawn is presented with several [[Poké Ball]]s and a [[Pokédex]]. When asked which Pokémon she wants for a starter, Dawn immediately chooses {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, noting that she and it are already a team. Dawn then sets out for her Pokémon journey in earnest, riding away from the lab.

At the same time, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and [[Dawn's Aipom|Ash's Aipom]] are on a ship bound for [[Sinnoh]]. Ash boasts about becoming the Sinnoh [[Champion]] while [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} watch from below decks. Later, Ash discusses Aipom accompanying Ash to Sinnoh with [[Professor Oak]], who notes that he will send Aipom's Poké Ball to Professor Rowan. Before they continue, though, [[Team Rocket]] quickly snatches Pikachu from their balloon. However, before they can leave, Meowth begins to argue with Jessie, attacking {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Wobbuffet then uses {{m|Counter}}, destroying the balloon and sending Pikachu falling into the forest. The episode ends with Ash and Aipom running after Team Rocket, while Dawn cycles away from the lab.

* This originally aired as a two-hour special on September 28, 2006, together with ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' and ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''
* The part where Dawn thinks about having each of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] echoes Ash's dream in the [[EP001|first episode]]. Incidentally, Ash's first choice for a starter was also the {{type2|Water}} of his region, his being {{p|Squirtle}}.
* An instrumental version of ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]'' is played as background music.
* Piplup's behavior when Dawn offered it food is exactly as described in the Pokédex: Piplup have high pride and hate to receive food from people.
* Dawn seeing Mesprit is mentioned in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'' where Ash links it to his seeing {{an|Ho-Oh}} as a starting trainer, though the scene is more similar to his seeing {{p|Suicune}} on the way to [[New Bark Town]].
* {{Ash}} later encounters {{p|Azelf}} at [[Lake Valor]] in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' in the same way that Dawn encountered Mesprit. Much speculation as to who will encounter {{p|Uxie}} is being made at the current time, with major candidates being [[Brock]] and [[Paul]].
* The eyecatches are of Dawn alone.
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: [[Starter Pokémon#Sinnoh|Sinnoh starter Pokémon]].
** All of the scenes in this segment come from this episode.
* [[Pokémon senryū]]: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* This episode is the last in the English dub to feature [[Kayzie Rogers]] as a voice actress until her return in [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]].
* Dawn's {{p|Starly}} clock appears to be {{shiny2}}.

=== Errors ===

=== Dub edits ===
When Pokémon Diamond and Pearl first aired on April 20, 2007, the first three episodes were made into a movie, cutting several parts out. All of these cuts were restored when the original episodes were aired the following week.
* After the [[narrator]] finishes the introduction in the beginning of the episode, the [[Diamond and Pearl (song)|English opening theme]] is aired instead, skipping the 8-second part that shows the English logo for the 10th season. In future airings, the English theme isn't shown for the first episode for reasons unknown.
* After the narrator finishes introducing {{an|Dawn}}, the episode title was cut out.
* After [[Team Rocket]] is seen blasting off near the ending, the remaining part is cut out. After the commercial break, it moves on to the next episode.

'''Franticshipping''' is the term for the [[Pokémon Special|Pokémon Adventures]] manga couple of {{Special|Ruby}} and {{Special|Sapphire}}, the protagonists of the fourth chapter also known as RS. This pairing is considered to be canon as both characters have confessed their love for the other. However whether or not they are together is unknown.

Ruby is the main protagonist of the fourth chapter. He has an interest in contests. He constantly grooms his Pokémon and croons how beautiful they are. He takes much pride in his Pokémon's appearance. At the beginning he is very shallow and tends to dislike Pokémon that are ugly. He also says that he finds battles to be appalling. However, in truth, he happens to be excellent in battling but after a past experience has vowed to never battle in front of others again.

Sapphire is Ruby's opposite. She is described a a wild girl several times throughout the series. She doesn't care much for looks and prefers battling to contests. She is very strong and has great senses including sharp eyesight and smell. She loves Pokémon and has a great sense of pride and justice. She finds Ruby to be an annoying, arrogant boy at first, but feelings soon change.

==History==
Although Ruby and Sapphire do not find out until much later, they knew each other as little children. Back then Ruby was a mischievous and adventurous boy who liked to battle while Sapphire was a sweet, docile, little girl who like pretty things and disliked violence. Ruby's father, [[Norman]], was taking the test required for leadership of the Petalburg gym. [[Professor Birch]], Sapphire's father, came to visit Norman bringing his little daughter along.

The two children played together. Ruby and Sapphire look back describing that time as one of the best in their lives. However it was ruined by the arrival of a wild {{p|Salamence}}. Ruby, to protect Sapphire, attacked the Salamence eventually driving it away. He got hurt in the process, getting a cut across the side of his forehead. When Ruby looked back to reassure Sapphire that the Salamence had gone, he was surprised to see her crying. She then said, "Scary...so scary." That becomes a huge turning point for Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby thinks that he had shocked her with how brutally he fought and had "tainted her crystal clear heart." He vows never to show his true strength in front of anybody ever again. Sapphire also makes a vow. She believes it's is because of her inability to fight that got him hurt and by crying she had hurt his pride. So by becoming stronger, she planned on having the ability to protect herself and the others around her. Years later, Ruby became a boy who prefers to groom his Pokémon, while Sapphire starts to believe that the strength of a Pokémon is more important than it's looks.

Even several years later they still remember each other, however, they can't recall any faces or names. Both have even admitted to loving that childhood friend that they can't really remember anymore.

==Encounters==
Ruby first met Sapphire when he was saved by her from falling off a cliff. At the time she was completely covered in leaves, and he thought that she was a Pokémon. At one point he gets scared of her and orders Nana, his {{p|Poochyena}}, to attack. She immediately becomes violent and sends out {{p|Torchic}}. They both trade insults until Sapphire proposes a bet. They both have to reach their goals (Sapphire: Conquer all eight gyms; Ruby: Conquer all contests) in 80 days. However they are interrupted by a {{p|Seviper}}. Sapphire tries her best to battle but eventually gets knocked out trying to protect Ruby. Ruby sees no one is watching and immediately knocks out the Seviper. While she is unconscious, he measures her and makes appropriate clothing for her so that she can get rid of the grass/leaf skirt and bra she is wearing.

They meet again in [[Dewford Town]] where Sapphire earns her Knuckle Badge and Ruby helps [[Steven]] in [[Granite Cave]]. At one point Granite Cave collapses, and Sapphire worried for Ruby's safety immediately goes to try to find him. Sadly she is thanked with a string of insults. Almost immediately the two leave to follow Steven on Sapphire's {{p|Wailord}}, Walo, because Sapphire had to deliver a letter to him.

Eventually when both become fed up with each other, they decide to take a break at the [[Abandoned Ship]]. Sapphire forces Ruby to get on the ship which is rumored to haunted while she stays on Walo. Here they have their first encounter with one of the antagonist teams, [[Team Magma]]. The two work together using a {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} that were on the ship to escape.

They separate to meet again at [[Fortree City]] right before the massive crisis of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Sapphire learns that Ruby has a talent for battling as he uses his Pokémon to knock out a rampaging herd of {{p|Grumpig}} to save Sapphire. Sapphire is ecstatic and asks Ruby to join her and the gym leaders in the fight against evil. Ruby, however, cooly refuses saying that he's only in Hoenn for the contests and that he will return to Johto after he is done. This infuriates Sapphire to the breaking point. She rips off her clothes (Ruby immediately covers his eyes), breaks off a branch of a nearby tree to wrap around herself, and starts yeeling at Ruby about how selfish he is and how she thought he was actually a good person but she was wrong. She then runs off. Ruby is rather ashamed of himself and sets out to participate in some more contests. Eventually Ruby realizes he should fight, too.

The two protagonists meet again much later to dive down to the [[Cave of Origin]] to fight [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] who hold the Blue and Red Orbs that control Kyogre and Groudon. Before the final battle against the two legendary Pokémon, Sapphire confesses her feelings directly to Ruby. She then tells Ruby about another boy she loved during her childhood, who is actually none other than Ruby himself. Ruby immediately realizes that Sapphire is the girl he played with during his childhood, but he didn't reveal himself to her yet. Not long after Sapphire's confession, Ruby suddenly locked her in an aircar. Sapphire shouts and orders Ruby to get her out. Ruby replied he did that so she will be safe in the aircar. After that, Ruby thanks her for making the 80-day bet with him, then pulled at his headband and showed her the scar the Salamance had left. He then confesses his feelings to Sapphire. It was then that Sapphire realized that it was he that had protected her five years before. Before she can react, [[Courtney]] appeared and Ruby joined her, leaving Sapphire and Ruby's mentor, [[Wallace]] shocked.

Shiny Pokémon

2008-09-26T11:37:47Z

Dialgalover: /* Pokémon Mystery Dungeon */

[[Image:ShinyGSStars.png|thumb|left]][[Image:Shinystar.gif|thumb|left]]
[[Image:Ash's Noctowl.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Noctowl]] soaring.]]
[[Image:Shiny charizard from (pokemon pokedex colecters edition).JPG|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]].]]
'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''alternately colored'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''shining'') Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and was required for [[Pokémon Crystal]].

When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's call, while in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] it happens afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars next to its gender and in Generation III and IV as a large star on the status screen. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, no matter whether or not they are actually alternate colored. This seems to have disappeared from later games.

===Generation II===
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|frame|A Red Gyarados.]]
[[Image:130.png|thumb|left|Regular {{p|Gyarados}}.]]
[[Image:Spr 4d 130 s.png|thumb|left|Red Gyarados.]]
In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[IV]]s of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backwards compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be, provided its data is unaltered. Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon, however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]].

===Generations III and IV===
In Generation III, most of the data structures were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the Generation III games and previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The secret ID and trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a probability of 1 in 8192 (8/65536), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

if E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In [[Trainer Tower]] in {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} there are two trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in double battle mode, the first pair of trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|left|thumb|A regular Kecleon with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe) and is more likely a different color due to its [[Color Change (ability)|Color Change]] ability. It says that it was so excited about Orbs that it turned rosy-colored. {{fact}} In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], a shiny {{p|Celebi}} appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. Some argue that due to an altered timeline, this particular Celebi is shiny. Others argue that this one has feelings for a male Pokémon ([[Grovyle]]). It is shown when the player talks with Celebi at the relay point in the [[Deep Dusk Forest]], where Celebi blushes when trying to deny her feelings for Grovyle. Therefore, the shiny coloring (pink) further emphasizes that this particular Celebi is inherently female. Also, {{p|Dialga}} appears in different coloration. Like the purple Kecleon, this Dialga is not shiny. Unlike Kecleon, however, this is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "[[Primal Dialga]]".
 

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. {{TCG|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} includes three cards with alternate coloration artwork and a holofoil effect, but are not classified as rare cards. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards do not play significantly differently from their normal coloration counterparts, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into Stage 1 Pokémon.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DateExpectations.jpg|right|thumb|A Shiny {{p|Donphan}} in the anime.]]
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a [[Generation III Pokémon]] in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be seen, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen by Ash in [[EP001|the first episode]]. Because alternate coloration was not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be an "official" shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and therefore was quite obviously a coloring error. Another Pokémon that's attributed as being a shiny is Saturn's {{p|Toxicroak}} from ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''. Whether it is really a shiny or that's just how Toxicroak are depicted in the anime is being debated.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the main land. For example, a Butterfree would have gold wings with red spots on them instead of just being white.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared as well.

Ginseng is a drink that boosts the [[power]] of whatever move the user currently has as it's set move. This effect works only for the team leader and won't affect certain kinds of [[moves]]. It also slightly fills the [[Pokémon]]'s belly.

'''Franticshipping''' is the term for the [[Pokémon Special|Pokémon Adventures]] manga couple of {{Special|Ruby}} and {{Special|Sapphire}}, the protagonists of the fourth chapter also known as RS. This pairing is considered to be canon as both characters have confessed their love for the other. However whether or not they are together is unknown.

==Ruby and Sapphire==
Ruby is the main protagonist of the fourth chapter. He has an interest in contests. He constantly grooms his Pokémon and croons how beautiful they are.

*This is one of the best articles I've seen on Bulbapedia. It's to-the-point, and if one need more details about one of the subjects within it, they can redirect as such.

*I'm putting this here in the hope it gets noticed. I've also put the same thing on the underground's own talk page. just want to say i oppose the featured article but ONLY IF the information is wrong, and to be honest, having a featured article that is wrong doesn't look good for this site. I've just collected THREE flags from an other player in the underground, and my own flag was upgraded to SILVER. here it states you need to collect FIVE flags before this upgrade happens. can anyone confirm five is correct? does it have something to do with different versions? I'm playing both diamond and pearl, UK version. i did this on both games, THREE flags each upgraded to SILVER. if there are differences between the different countries then i think this is significant enough to be included. would also make the page better for being featured!

*I think this article needs MORE info! As for the section for the items you can get, it can be quite cOnFuSiNg! It might be better if someone put images instead of graphs. And if someone have it, I suggest someone to put a map on the article.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]].

Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]". As for his first name, some note that "Ash" has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.

However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] by luck, knew nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.

Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions.

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam.

[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]
Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary, he later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference|Johto League Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole [[Ash's hat|his hat]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG178|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.

In nearly every episode of the anime, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as Brock, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.

[[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost Riolu and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.

He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.
 

===Family===
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In [[Pokémon Live!]], Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

==In the manga==
{{mangastub}}
The manga version of Ash Ketchum is based on the anime version, but there are many differences after both versions took different directions. For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.

==Trivia==
*Ash has caught 48 different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]", but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.
*So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by [[Gary Oak|Gary]] a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], which were both "filler seasons" before the start of even-numbered generations.
*Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).
*In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
*Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.
*In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
*With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.
*So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.
*A pattern has developed among Ash's {{t|Grass}} starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}} never evolved, [[Ash's Bayleef|Chikorita]] evolved once and [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]] evolved twice. Many believe [[Ash's Turtwig]] won't evolve so the pattern continues.
*Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.
*During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.
*Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]].
*The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.
*The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
*The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.
*Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.
*The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.
*In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.
*Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.
[[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]
*Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.
**In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
**Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.
*Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}).
** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon.
*All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.
*All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).
*Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.
*Ash has three turtle-like, unevolved Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Turtwig. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.
*Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.
*Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], [[Drake (Elite Four)|Drake]] and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).
*It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.
*Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.
*Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').
*Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]].

Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]". As for his first name, some note that "Ash" has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.

However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] by luck, knew nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.

Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions.

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam.

[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]
Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary, he later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference|Johto League Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole [[Ash's hat|his hat]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG178|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.

In nearly every episode of the anime, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as Brock, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.

[[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost Riolu and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.

He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.
 

===Family===
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In [[Pokémon Live!]], Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

{{mangastub}}
The manga version of Ash Ketchum is based on the anime version, but there are many differences after both versions took different directions. For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.

==Trivia==
*In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent.
* Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].
*Ash has caught 48 different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]", but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.
*So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by [[Gary Oak|Gary]] a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], which were both "filler seasons" before the start of even-numbered generations.
*Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).
*In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
*Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.
*In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
*With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.
*So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.
*A pattern has developed among Ash's {{t|Grass}} starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}} never evolved, [[Ash's Bayleef|Chikorita]] evolved once and [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]] evolved twice. Many believe [[Ash's Turtwig]] won't evolve so the pattern continues.
*Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.
*During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.
*Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]].
*The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.
*The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
*The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.
*Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.
*The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.
*In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.
*Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.
[[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]
*Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.
**In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
**Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.
*Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}).
** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon.
*All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.
*All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).
*Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.
*Ash has three turtle-like, unevolved Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Turtwig. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.
*Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.
*Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], [[Drake (Elite Four)|Drake]] and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).
*It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.
*Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.
*Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').
*Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.
