The '''Game Boy Advance SP''' (Japanese: '''ゲームボーイアドバンス{{j|SP}}''' ''Game Boy Advance SP''), also called the '''GBA SP''' (SP standing for Special), is [[Nintendo]]'s 32-bit handheld gaming system that succeeded the original [[Game Boy Advance]]. It was released in Japan on February 14, 2003, North America on March 23, 2003, and in Australia on March 28, 2003. It is part of the Game Boy line, succeeding the [[Game Boy Advance]], with a few minor changes, while being succeeded by the [[Game Boy micro]]. Game Boy Advance SP's best selling games are the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]].

==Sales==
It was first released in Japan on February 14th, 2003, first retailing at ¥12,500. The next month it was released in North America (March 22nd, 2003) where the price of one unit was set at US$99.99 before dropping down to US$79.99 in September the next year. Released in Canada the same day as the US, prices were CA$149.95. Six days later, it was released in Europe and Australia (marketed at €129.99 and AUS$199.99 respectively).

Sales records show that by the end of March 2003, the number of sales in Japan were a modest 0.82 million units, with the Americas at 0.83 million, with the rest of the world totaling 0.46 million. However, by the same time the next year, figures had jumped past the 2 million mark in Japan, while in America the sales were more than double that of Japan. By this time, over 17.6 million units had been sold worldwide. As of September 2008, global sales of the GBA SP are at 43.49 million.

==Changes==
===Physical===
* '''Size''': 8.4 × 8.2 × 2.44 cm when closed
* '''Weight''': 142 grams
* '''Screen''': Reflective TFT Color LCD.
* '''Light source''': Frontlight integrated LCD.
* '''Power''': Rechargeable lithium ion battery.
* '''Battery Life''': 10 hours (light on), 18 hours (light off)

The Game Boy Advance SP has a clam shell design which helps protect the screen from scratches. When open, it is almost the same size as the [[Game Boy Color]], but slightly thinner. The screen is a Reflective TFT Color LCD with an integrated frontlight enabling game play in dark places without the use of an external light source. The user has the option to turn the light on and off. In late 2005, Nintendo released an updated version of the GBA SP, with a backlight instead of the usual frontlight. This new lighting system allowed the user to enjoy games in better color and brightness; however, it also causes a half-pixel screen lag.

Unlike previous Game Boys, the GBA SP does not require normal batteries. Instead it uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery which can be recharged using its own {{wp|AC adapter}}. The battery can last up to ten hours with the light on, and only takes three hours to recharge fully. The SP's charger input also is the same as that of the [[Nintendo DS]], so the chargers can be used interchangeably. However, the GBA SP is incompatible with the [[Nintendo DS Lite]] charger.

Just like its predecessor, it is compatible with all Game Boy Advance games as well as [[Game Boy]] and Game Boy Color games.

Unlike other Game Boy models, the SP does not have a headphone jack. Instead, a special adapter converts the extension port into one. Nintendo also released headphones made specifically for the GBA SP that plug into the charging port.

To play a video game on the GBA SP, the player needs to buy a game separately. The games come in small "cartridges," or as Nintendo sometimes call them, Game Paks, which are small boxes that have chips inside them. The cartridges have to be put into the hole at the front of the system, to make it possible to play the game. The actions or characters in the game are controlled with the directional pad, or D-pad, which is on the inside bottom of the console, just below the screen.

===Internal===
* '''CPU''': 32-bit ARM7TDMI with embedded memory.
* '''Co-processor''': 8-bit Zilog Z80
* '''Memory''': 32 kilobyte+96 kilobyte Video RAM (internal CPU), 256 kilobyte Dynamic random access memory (external CPU).
* '''Resolution''': 240 × 160 pixels.
* '''Color''': Can display 511 simultaneous colors in character mode and 32,768 simultaneous colors in bitmap mode.
* '''Software''': Fully compatible with [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games.

'''Wii''' (Japanese: '''ウィー''' ''Wii'') is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition for Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}. Its handheld counterpart is the [[Nintendo DS]]. The [[Nintendo 3DS]] has the same graphical and CPU capabilities as it. It, like its predecessor, the [[Nintendo GameCube]], is able to connect to software titles on the handheld of this generation, the [[Nintendo DS]], has a Pokémon game that serves as a battle arena for the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games—in this case, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], and also has a storage system—in this case, [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. In 2012, it will be succeeded by the [[Wii U]], which is backwards-compatible to all Wii games and controllers.

==Features==
===Wii Remote===
[[File:Wii Remote pink.png|thumb|left|A pink Wii Remote]]
[[File:Wii Nunchuk black.png|thumb|left|A black Nunchuk]]
Wii's controller is a strange and revolutionary one, instead of taking the dual-control-stick layout of the previous generation like its competitors, it is in a remote control form, with attachments available to work with compatible games, such as a control stick on a Nunchuk attachment, or the Classic Controller, which takes on a layout similar to the other consoles' main controller. The Wii Remote is wireless, and features many innovations such as motion and tilt sensing, a first for game controllers. The motion sensor requires a bar to be placed on the top or bottom of the screen. The sensitivity can be enhanced with {{nw|Wii Motion-Plus}}, although currently it is not compatible with any [[Pokémon games]].

===Wii Menu===
[[File:Disc channel.jpg|thumb|right|The Wii Disc Channel]]
The console features a custom GUI made up of different—and expandable—channels, all of which, save the Disc Channel, can be moved around to any of the 47 spaces available on the main menu. New channels can be downloaded via the Wii Shop Channel, including a browser and games from older systems playable via Virtual Console. The channels can be put on an SD card, and with the introduction of Wii Menu 3.3, SD Card menus can be accessed straight from the main one.

Wii also has the ability to send messages to and from other devices, so long as the Wii sends out the first message, an address book confirmation message, to the email address or cell phone number in question. When the recipient replies to the Wii's message, communication between the two devices will be active, and via WiiConnect24, others can leave messages for players of the console on its message board from anywhere in the world.

===Backward compatibility===
Wii is also backwards-compatible with all GameCube games, as well as with most of GameCube's accessories, such as the controllers, memory cards, GameCube to GBA cables, and microphone. It is not compatible with the {{wp|Rumble Pak}} or the [[Game Boy Player]].

==Technical specs==
* Compatibility with both 12cm Wii Game Discs and 8cm GameCube Game Discs
* 729 MHz "Broadway" IBM CPU
* 243 MHz "Hollywood" ATI GPU
* 88 MB total memory
* 512 MB internal flash memory, for game, channel, and data saving
* SD memory card bay for expansion of save space. Initially, the system supported SD cards up to 2 GB. After the Wii System 4.0 update, the system supports SDHC cards up to 32 GB; however, games released before the system update may not read SDHC cards.
* Two USB ports for expansion and/or networking capabilities

==Pokémon games==
===On game discs===
Most Wii games are released on the Wii's own 12cm discs. So far, there are four known games that feature Pokémon.

==Wii Shop Channel==
The {{wp|Wii Shop Channel}} is a channel which comes pre-installed on Wii consoles. It uses the Internet to purchase and download WiiWare, Virtual Console games and channels with Wii Points.

==Nintendo Channel==
The {{wp|Wii Menu#Nintendo Channel|Nintendo Channel}} is a free downloadable channel which contains various videos and demos of Nintendo games. Use of this channel requires the Internet. These videos are often commercials, trailers, and interviews relating to Nintendo products. All [[Pokémon games]] for [[Nintendo DS]] and Wii (excluding Virtual Console) that have had an English language release have been featured on the channel at some point.

Additionally, the channel has a feature called the DS Download Service, which allows players to download demos of games to a Nintendo DS system via DS Download Play. Demos for [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] can be downloaded. Explorers of Sky has three slightly different demos.

==Cameos==
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|right|Wii in [[Generation IV]]]]
* Players have a Wii in their [[bedroom]] in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]]. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{ga|Barry}} has a Wii in his room too. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player's alternate-gender counterpart, {{ga|Red}}, and {{ga|Blue}} each have a Wii. There is also a Wii next to a TV on the [[S.S. Aqua]].
** In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, in [[the Underground]], there is a Wii decoration, titled "game system", for the player's [[secret base]].
** The player character's bedroom in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} has a Wii next to the TV set in [[Chicole Village]].
* The remote control for the evolution machine featured in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'' was similar in design to the controller of the Wii.
* The remote Meowth used in ''[[DP031|The Grass-type is Always Greener!]]'' resembled the Nunchuk.
* A Wii console, along with various accessories, make an appearance in {{adv|Diamond}}'s room in [[Pokémon Adventures]] in ''[[PS395|VS. Sableye]]''.

==Trivia==
* The AV cable for the Wii is only the third design Nintendo has used. The {{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}} used RCA cables, while the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], [[Nintendo 64|N64]], and [[Nintendo GameCube|GCN]] all used the same one.
* The Nunchuk resembles part of a Nintendo 64 controller.
* The Wii can play all three [[Super Smash Bros.]] titles.

April Fools' Day 2012

2012-04-15T03:14:55Z

Djulienr: /* Bulbagarden */

{{incomplete}}
April 1, 2012 was an {{wp|April Fools' Day}} that fell on a Sunday. In the Pokémon fandom, many websites pulled hoaxes on gullible fans.

==Hoaxes==

===Fansites===
====Bulbagarden====
*[[Bulbanews]] posted {{n|Leaked document reveals upcoming games|an article about several leaked upcoming games}} which included [[Pokémon Battrio]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and a "demake" of {{2v2|Black|White}} for the original [[Game Boy]], along with a fake trailer for the game created by Pokémon hacker Koolboyman.
* The Anime Forum also released a list of fake anime episodes which including the return of Giovanni and a battle between him and Ash.
* Bulbagarden forums were redesigned to become '''NOT Bulbagarden''', with the forum taking on a look and theme of ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' as though the fake announcement of the Bulbagarden forums moving away from Pokemon talk had just recently taken place.

====Other fan sites====

* [[Psypoke]] had shaking rainbow-colored text on the front news page along with a constant line of [[Bidoof]] marching down the page.
* [[PKMNcast.com]] followed last year's example and became distorted with images and signs of [[Missingno.]] The banner had an image of Missingno. on it, with various parts of the website were missing and the colors were changed.
* [http://veekun.com veekun] was taken over by a [[Treecko]] and was renamed to "treekun", taking on the look and feel of Treecko's colors.
* [[Pokécharms]] was rebranded as "KyruemCharms" with the slogan "We're PINGAS and proud of it".
* [http://www.pokecardex.com/ Pokecardex] was taken over by Panini Cards, with site transformed into Panini's imagery.
* [[Dogasu's Backpack]] took on the look and theme of 1997 as though the airing of the first episode of the [[anime]] was about to take place.
* [[Marriland Forums|Pokémon Marriland]] changed "Pokémon" to "Pocketmon" on every page of the site. Also, many icons and sprites were replaced with those of [[Bidoof (Pokémon)|Bidoof]], but the names of the Pokémon remained the same. In addition, a supposed [[Keldeo (Pokémon)|Keldeo]] event that began April 1st was announced on the site.

==Miscellaneous==

*This date marked the fifteenth anniversary of the [[Pokémon anime]].

'''Like a Meowth to a Flame''' (Japanese: '''サイユウシティ到着！長靴をはいたニャース！？''' ''Arrival in {{tt|Saiyū|Ever Grande}} City! {{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}} in Boots!?'') is the 125th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 399th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 21, 2005 and in the United States on March 4, 2006.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts with the group on the deck of a ship, with [[Ever Grande City]] visible ahead. They've finally reached the site of the [[Hoenn League]]'s [[Ever Grande Conference]], where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who have earned their eight [[badge]]s will test their abilities. There's one week to go until the tournament starts, and {{Ash}} has some serious training to do. But as {{an|May}} points out, there's something else to do first. Get something good to eat. Namely, ramen.

We now see that [[Team Rocket]] is following the ship in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine}}. Inside, they're all moaning about the hard work of following the twerps, but when [[James]] suggests taking some time to rest, he is vetoed by [[Jessie]], who insists that if they stop now, they'll miss their chance at something big. She isn't sure what, but is quite certain there's something waiting for them.

Evidently, there's a very good ramen shop somewhere in Ever Grande City, one of the best three in all [[Hoenn]], called the ''Ever Grande Noodle Nosh''. This information, along with directions to get there, is in the Ever Grande Conference Shop and Restaurant Guide which May has. When she announces that she intends to hit all the good shops and restaurants in town while they're there, the males of the group appear somewhat taken aback.

Some time later, as the group makes its way down a narrow back street somewhere in the city, [[Max]] asks his sister if she's really sure the shop is in a place like this. As she expresses her certainty, and the others express their doubts, we see that the group is being watched by a flock of {{p|Murkrow}}. A few moments later, one Murkrow steals the guide book, and the rest of the flock attacks. {{AP|Pikachu}} drives them off temporarily, but more swoop down to take their place. The cycle continues until a {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}} - one wearing boots and a hat - comes to their rescue.

The Meowth, with help from {{ho|Tyson|its Trainer}}, drives off the current group of Murkrow, and for no apparent reason, no more come to take their place. Our heroes thank him for the help, and while he's saying it's no big deal, he sees the restaurant guide lying on the ground. It turns out he's also going to the same ramen shop.

Next comes a scene in the ramen shop, where the Trainer, named Tyson, tells Ash that he, too, will be in the tournament, and so they're rivals. Tyson and {{an|Brock}} exchange the standard set of compliments over how well the Meowth has been raised and the quality of Brock's Pokémon food. The conversation continues, with bonding between Tyson and the group, until Tyson notices the time. He has to get going, or he'll be late.

Tyson runs out of the shop, with Ash and the rest of the group close behind. Ash asks what the rush is, and Tyson replies that the sacred fire will be arriving soon. The sacred fire is the flame of {{p|Moltres}}, which will burn in the central torch of the tournament, and Tyson is one of the runners.

We cut to a scene where League President [[Charles Goodshow]], together with the local [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] and a small crowd of spectators, is waiting for the flame to arrive. In the bushes nearby, [[Team Rocket]] is listening. Jessie's intuition about something big was correct. Their next target is the flame. They'll be able to get a great price for it from a collector, and give part of it to the Boss.

The flame arrives by car, just as Tyson arrives and apologizes for being late. Then our heroes arrive, and when the League President greets Ash and Brock by name, May and Max are very impressed. Ash explains that they were torch runners once. May and Max are even more surprised than before when Goodshow knows May's name, too. He was impressed by her performance in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], which he watched on TV.

Tyson sets off running with the flame, with his Meowth running beside him. In the bushes, Team Rocket's {{MTR}} watches, and doesn't seem to like what he sees. Jessie and James tell him to get moving, and all three run off to get started on their plan. Our heroes are about to set off for the stadium when Goodshow's limo pulls up, and he invites them to join him for the ride, since they're all heading to the same place.

As Tyson runs along a route lined with people, the limo takes a back road. As it goes over a hill, the occupants get their first view of the stadium complex for the tournament. Goodshow points out the [[Pokémon Center]] where registration and announcements will take place. He also tells May and Max about the restaurants and shops nearby.

Ash registers for the competition, and receives the official guide to the tournament, of which Max takes possession. Meanwhile, Brock is doing exactly what would be expected of him in a place filled with so many Jennies and Joys, at least until Max drags him away. Ash asks the Joy in charge of registration if Morrison has registered yet. The answer is no. On a screen above the registration desk, we see Tyson arrive at the stadium complex, not visibly tired at all from the long run.

Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}}, who offers to send any of the [[Pokémon]] Ash left with him at any time. Ash declines, saying that he came to [[Hoenn]] to try a fresh start. Though he'd love to let his older Pokémon fight, his current team is ready and willing. He wants to do this tournament with just his Hoenn team. The call ends with some words of encouragement from Oak.

Moments later, an alarm goes off. The sacred flame has been stolen.

The group meets up with Tyson, who tells them what happened. As he delivered the flame to a group of Jennies and Joys, one Jenny caused a distraction by pointing into the distance and saying she thought she saw a real Moltres. As everyone was looking, she and one of the Joys ran off with the flame.

As he finishes the story, the thieves are found. The fake Jenny and Joy are speeding off on a police motorcycle (with sidecar), pursued by a couple of real Jennies. With a bit of fancy driving, one gets ahead and cuts them off, but they turn aside, going offroad and heading straight for a cliff. As the motorcycle goes off the cliff, the thieves jump off and into the basket of the Meowth balloon which has just risen into view. This is followed shortly by the recital of the motto and removal of disguises to reveal Team Rocket.

The balloon starts to leave, and Ash tries the usual Pikachu {{m|Thunderbolt}} tactic to stop them. As happens with some regularity, the attack is turned back on Pikachu by a device wielded by Meowth. The Jenny on the scene is about to use her {{p|Blastoise}}, but the Joy stops her, reminding her that they can't risk putting the fire out. Tyson sends out his {{p|Metagross}} to stop the balloon with its {{m|Confusion}}. Meowth turns up the flame to counter the pull. Neither side is making any progress, and Goodshow asks Ash if he has any {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon. When Ash says he has a {{AP|Glalie}}, Goodshow tells him to freeze Team Rocket. An attack like that won't be enough to put out the flame of Moltres.

Things go exactly as planned. Glalie's {{m|Ice Beam}} freezes Team Rocket, but the flame keeps burning. Metagross pulls the balloon down, and Ash somehow manages to jump into the basket. He takes the flame, but before he can get away with it, Team Rocket breaks out of the ice and tries to take it back. In the struggle, the flame falls out of the balloon. Jessie throws Meowth after the flame to catch it. He grabs it, then realizes he's still falling and panics. Tyson sends his Meowth to get the flame. It jumps up, grabs the flame from Team Rocket's Meowth in midair, kicking Team Rocket's Meowth in the process.

Landing, Tyson's Meowth sets the flame safely on the ground, then turns and says something apparently rather insulting to Team Rocket's Meowth. Team Rocket's Meowth takes offense. In the balloon above, Ash and the human Team Rocket members are fighting, and Jessie yells to Meowth to get the flame back. Team Rocket's Meowth yells to Tyson's Meowth that if it doesn't want to get hurt, it should hand over the flame. The reply is a gesture unmistakably meaning "why don't you try to take it?"

Team Rocket's Meowth tries to attack, but Tyson's Meowth is the one who gets in a hit. Team Rocket's Meowth tries again, but is sent blasting off by an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack from Tyson's Meowth. Ash jumps from the balloon, and is caught by Metagross's Confusion. Tyson proceeds to have Meowth blow up the balloon and send Team Rocket blasting off with a Thunderbolt.

Back at the stadium complex, League President Goodshow thanks Ash and Tyson for their work in protecting the flame, without which the tournament could not start. Ash and Tyson are both looking forward to facing each other in the tournament, and on that note, the episode ends.

== Trivia ==
* This episode begins the seven-part Ever Grande Conference arc.
* The title is a reference to the saying "Like a moth to a flame".
* This is one of the few times {{MTR}} "blasts off" at a different time from [[Jessie]] and [[James]] at the end of the episode.
** It is also one of the times when Team Rocket blasts off without saying "Team Rocket's blasting off again!" - and they don't say it either time they blast off.
*In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Tyson's Meowth has the same voice actor as Team Rocket's Meowth. However, near the end of the episode, it has the same voice as in the English version.

=== Errors ===
* When Tyson's Meowth attacks the flock of Murkrow with {{m|Fury Swipes}}, the scarf around his neck is absent.
* When Nurse Joy is talking to Ash and his friends, her cross changes color from red to yellow.
* When Ash is talking to Pro. Oak about sending his old Pokémon to himself, Ash said "I'm sure Charizard and the others..." but [[Ash's Charizard]] is in [[Charicific Valley]] with [[Liza]] not with [[Professor Oak]].

=== Dub edits ===
* In the beginning of the episode, while suggesting that the group find something to eat, May refers to ramen as "chicken noodle soup".

=== Pokémon Trainer's Choice ===
* Question: Trainers, What humble Pokémon does {{p|Kingdra}} begin as?
* Choices: {{p|Misdreavus}}, {{p|Horsea}}, {{p|Marill}}
* Answer: Ok, trainers! If you chose {{p|Horsea}}, you were right!

'''Pidgeot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピジョット''' ''Pigeot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pidgeot bares striking resemblance to {{P|Pidgeotto}}; however, Pidgeot is noticeably larger than its pre-evolution. Its plumage tends to be larger and glossier. The feathers on its head-crest are nearly as long as its body, and are yellow and red. Its tail feathers are red colored. Like its previous evolutions, its underbelly is a tan color, and it has black markings around its eyes.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Pidgeot is a powerful {{m|Fly|flier}}, capable of creating {{m|whirlwind}}s strong enough to bend trees. At maximum velocity it can reach {{m|Agility|speeds of Mach 2}} if it accelerates for long enough, which is incredibly rare. It has {{a|Keen Eye|keen eye}}s that allow it to see {{p|Magikarp}} from a distance of 3300 feet in the air.

===Behavior===
Pidgeot are normally calm and confident in their abilities. It has many powerful attacks, and its plumage is often described as beautiful, making it a popular choice for skilled trainers. Pidgeot may also spread its wings widely to intimidate enemies.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Pidgeot typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. It can most likely be found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pidgeot seems to primarily subsist on a diet of {{type2|Bug}} and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon which it fishes out of the water using its high speed and keen senses. However, like all Pokémon, it is also capable of surviving by eating apples and [[Berry|Berries]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Pidgeot anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Pidgeot in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', wild Pidgeot that were twice their normal size appeared. Their size was due to there being excessive quantities of food on one of the Orange Islands. One of these oversized Pidgeot snatches up {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} when they got tethered together.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]'', a wild Pidgeot helps {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} to rescue some {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from [[Team Rocket]].

====[[Ash's Pidgeot]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a Pidgeot that he captured as a [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]] early in his journey during ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]'', the same {{p|Spearow}} Ash had thrown a rock at in [[EP001|the first episode]] returned with its flock, but it had evolved into a [[Ash's Fearow#In the anime|Fearow]]. The flock attacked Ash, so Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot to battle Fearow. After Pidgeot defeated Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Ash promised to return for it someday, but so far he has not kept that promise.

====Falkner's Pidgeot====
[[Falkner]] of the [[Violet City]] [[Gym]] owns a Pidgeot as his main Pokémon. He uses it in his Gym battle against Ash, but it was defeated by his Charizard, giving Ash the Zephyr Badge.

====Other====
A Pidgeot belonging to [[Rudy]] appeared in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

A Pidgeot was owned by [[Sir Aaron]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. Also, {{p|Mew}} transformed into a Pidgeot in the movie.

One is also owned by the {{pkmn|Coordinator}} [[Solidad]].

One is used by {{ra|Ben}} in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''.

Multiple Pidgeot made a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Pidgeot owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon captured and cloned by {{p|Mewtwo}}. It was referred to as a Pidgeotto due to a dubbing error. The Pidgeot clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'', an [[Officer Jenny]] used a Pidgeot to help locate [[Ash's Pikachu]] after it was stolen by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy use many Pokémon, including a Pidgeot, to blow the {{p|Gligar}} away from the city.

A Pidgeot is used in the [[PokéRinger]] Contest.

==Trivia==
*Prior to [[Generation IV]], Pidgeot and its evolutionary line were the only Pokémon capable of learning {{m|FeatherDance}} through leveling up.
*Pidgeot originally had an extra "t" in its name, but it was dropped.
*Two different pronunciations for Pidgeot's name, Pidg-ee-ot and Pi-git, have been used interchangeably in the anime.
*Pidgeot’s tail feathers were colored red and yellow prior to [[Generation III]]. This can be observed in its [[Generation I]] artwork and [[Generation II]] sprites. From Generation III onwards they are only colored red.
**In the anime they used to be colored brown, only to be recently colored red.
*When rebattling Gym Leaders in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, both [[Falkner]] and {{ga|Blue}} have a Pidgeot as their highest leveled Pokémon.
**Coincidentally, Falkner is the first [[Gym Leader]] while Blue is the last.
*Pidgeot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 469.
*Despite being described as a Pokémon that can fly up to Mach 2 speed, it cannot learn {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}.
*In the Pokémon Metal Taz, Pidgeot is mistakenly named {{p|Pidgeotto}}, the name of its pre-evolution.

====Origin====
Despite its name, its appearance and behavior do not resemble a pigeon so much as that of a {{wp|bird of prey}}, particularly an {{wp|eagle}}, {{wp|osprey}} or a {{wp|falcon}}. In particular, its shiny form may be referencing a {{wp|Golden Eagle}}. Its eye markings strongly resemble the Sun/Sky gods of Egyptian mythology; {{wp|Ra}} and {{wp|Horus}}.

====Name origin====
Its name is a variation of a ''{{wp|dove|pigeon}}''.

'''Lessons in Lilycove''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト！ミナモ大会！！''' ''Pokémon Contest! {{tt|Minamo|Lilycove}} Tournament!'') is the 91st episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 365th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 26, 2004 and in the United States on September 10, 2005.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

This episode is the second half of the {{ci|Lilycove}} [[Pokémon Contest]]. It appears as though {{TP|May|Combusken}} was only showing off during its appeal, as it jumps in front of {{an|May}}, knocks its wheel of flame into a rain of fire, and then jumps up holding a huge ball of fire, which it then smacks with a {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, bringing another rain of fire down. The crowd goes wild, and the judges give May scores of 8.5, 8.0, and 7.1, for a cumulative score of 23.6. The judges seem to love the look, but at least one of them realized that it was more luck than planning. {{AP|Swellow}}, meanwhile, continues to train. It seems to be having trouble concentrating, though, between the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and the huge screen showing them compete.

[[Kelly]]'s {{p|Grumpig}} apparently likes to wag its tail as it shows off with some {{m|Psychic}} juggling of [[Pokéblock]]s. The audience is really involved with Grumpig's performance and it finishes by eating all of the Pokéblocks. The judges award Grumpig a cumulative 27.7 score, which will be hard to beat. Swellow has finally mastered the limbo bar outside but then smacks into a tree because it wasn't paying attention to its direction.

Next in the contest are [[Jessie]] and {{TP|James|Chimecho}}. The two basically hypnotize the audience with {{m|Heal Bell}}, but their finish is clouded by Jessie trying to make Chimecho's voice more dynamic but making it sound awful. {{AP|Pikachu}} and Swellow hear this outside. However, the judges award Jessie and Chimecho a perfect score of 30. After a random shuffling of contestants, May and Jessie are facing each other in the semifinals, with Combusken versus Chimecho. Chimecho puts up a good fight, but May isn't going to lose easily. One {{m|Peck}} attack later, Chimecho backs off, and a {{m|Fire Spin}} attack is ordered. This is followed by Jessie ordering a {{m|Double-Edge}} attack, which Combusken counters with a Sky Uppercut, and this completely knocks out Jessie and Chimecho. Outside, Ash and Swellow are training very hard, and Swellow finally learns {{m|Aerial Ace}}. However, on one attempt Swellow misses the target but hits [[Team Rocket]], who are heading home after Jessie's defeat in the Contest.

It comes down to May versus Kelly in the finals. An {{m|Iron Tail}} attack is used by Grumpig,, but Combusken catches it in its claws. The {{type2|Fire}} issues a counterattack, but is foiled by a {{m|Psychic}}, and Grumpig sends it back as a fire dragon. Combusken smashes it with Sky Uppercut, but then gets caught in a psychokinesis trap and is rendered helpless. Grumpig appears to be the default winner, as Combusken can't move, but with quick thinking on May's part, Combusken fires off a Fire Spin at the ceiling, causing it to rain fire and damage Grumpig. They fall together as the Psychic attack fails, but Combusken saves them both by using Fire Spin to halt their descent. May is the winner! Kelly promises that she'll be even stronger the next time they meet.

'''Lessons in Lilycove''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト！ミナモ大会！！''' ''Pokémon Contest! {{tt|Minamo|Lilycove}} Tournament!'') is the 91st episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 365th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 26, 2004 and in the United States on September 10, 2005.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

This episode is the second half of the {{ci|Lilycove}} [[Pokémon Contest]]. It appears as though {{TP|May|Combusken}} was only showing off during its appeal, as it jumps in front of {{an|May}}, knocks its wheel of flame into a rain of fire, and then jumps up holding a huge ball of fire, which it then smacks with a {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, bringing another rain of fire down. The crowd goes wild, and the judges give May scores of 8.5, 8.0, and 7.1, for a cumulative score of 23.6. The judges seem to love the look, but at least one of them realized that it was more luck than planning. {{AP|Swellow}}, meanwhile, continues to train. It seems to be having trouble concentrating, though, between the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and the huge screen showing them compete.

[[Kelly]]'s {{p|Grumpig}} apparently likes to wag its tail as it shows off with some {{m|Psychic}} juggling of [[Pokéblock]]s. The audience is really involved with Grumpig's performance and it finishes by eating all of the Pokéblocks. The judges award Grumpig a cumulative 27.7 score, which will be hard to beat. Swellow has finally mastered the limbo bar outside but then smacks into a tree because it wasn't paying attention to its direction.

Next in the contest are [[Jessie]] and {{TP|James|Chimecho}}. The two basically hypnotize the audience with {{m|Heal Bell}}, but their finish is clouded by Jessie trying to make Chimecho's voice more dynamic but making it sound awful. {{AP|Pikachu}} and Swellow hear this outside. However, the judges award Jessie and Chimecho a perfect score of 30. After a random shuffling of contestants, May and Jessie are facing each other in the semifinals, with Combusken versus Chimecho. Chimecho puts up a good fight, but May isn't going to lose easily. One {{m|Peck}} attack later, Chimecho backs off, and a {{m|Fire Spin}} attack is ordered. This is followed by Jessie ordering a {{m|Double-Edge}} attack, which Combusken counters with a Sky Uppercut, and this completely knocks out Jessie and Chimecho. Outside, Ash and Swellow are training very hard, and Swellow finally learns {{m|Aerial Ace}}. However, on one attempt Swellow misses the target but hits [[Team Rocket]], who are heading home after Jessie's defeat in the Contest.

It comes down to May versus Kelly in the finals. An {{m|Iron Tail}} attack is used by Grumpig,, but Combusken catches it in its claws. The {{type2|Fire}} issues a counterattack, but is foiled by a {{m|Psychic}}, and Grumpig sends it back as a fire dragon. Combusken smashes it with Sky Uppercut, but then gets caught in a psychokinesis trap and is rendered helpless. Grumpig appears to be the default winner, as Combusken can't move, but with quick thinking on May's part, Combusken fires off a Fire Spin at the ceiling, causing it to rain fire and damage Grumpig. They fall together as the Psychic attack fails, but Combusken saves them both by using Fire Spin to halt their descent. May is the winner! Kelly promises that she'll be even stronger the next time they meet.

Talk:Ash's Scraggy

Has nobody else noticed that this Scraggy is shiny?! - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 00:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:It's not. [[File:Saturn Toxicroak.png|thumb|200px|right|Remember me?]] [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 00:24, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
::You can't say that for sure. Unlike the Toxicroak incident, this Scraggy's colors perfectly match the colors on the shiny sprite. I compared them numerous times to make sure. [[File:Zuruggu anime.png|thumb|right|220px|Note the colors on Scraggy...]] [[File:Spr_5b_559_s.png|thumb|right|220px|....And how they match this perfectly.]] - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

::::Just in case someone decides to bring it up, the event Zuruggu pretty much confirms that this Zuruggu isn't shiny. Because if it was, wouldn't the event Zuruggu be shiny too? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:11, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::True. Very true. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 22:43, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::But if you look at the picture we have for Scraggy there are even sparkles, which is what happens when you release a shiny pokemon from its bokeball. [[User:Djulienr|Djulienr]] 23:14, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

== Confused ==

Is there an Ash's Zuruggu, in someone else's user page? Because given the preview, isn't there a more likely chance Ash gets it than Iris? I'm just wondering because everyone is so intent on it being Iris's despite the preview, and the only page that says differently is the BW017 page (that at least offers that chance). I'm just confused because I don't see anything about Ash having the possibility.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 00:59, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Scary Face or Leer? ==

Hey, do we know for sure which one that Zuruggu used? Just curious, because it looks more like Scary Face than Leer to me? --[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 21:12, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
:Dent said it was Leer. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:15, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

== Zuruggu's Pic ==

Hey just curious here, but what the heck is going on with Zuruggu's main pic? It has been appearing and then disappearing off of the page, and also doing the same thing on Ash's page. Just thought I would ask. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 16:02, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
:Glad you asked. It's because of the server sync issue. Sometimes, the pedia servers take some time to load archives images specially when someone adds an image to an article before uploading it (ugghhh... Red links). It'll be fixed eventually. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 17:16, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

== just for clarification... ==

The trivia says: Zuruggu's egg was the first egg owned by a main character, that appeared onscreen, not to be taken from its owner by another person or a Pokémon.

What about Brock and his Happiny? [[User:In A Manica|In A Manica]] 23:31, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
:Team Rocket stole the egg, the same episode as Brock won it [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 23:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
::Ah ok. Thanks for that man.[[User:In A Manica|In A Manica]] 23:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Even though Brock did not actually own the egg when it was stolen... -'''[[User:Gengarzilla|I Liek Gengarz!]] [[User talk:Gengarzilla|Do Joo Liek Dem?]]''' 19:12, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

== Harley and Gary ==

Are Harley and gary not considerd main characters? I ask because they have both owned at least 1 dark type.--'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 18:30, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

::Main characters are characters who appear in almost every episode of a series, not some here and there. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 21:58, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

== Nintendo event? ==

Since we're adding the abilities based on Nintendo's even Pokemon revelation, can't we add moves as well based on the same thing? Apparently, Ash's Zuruggu knows ''Low Kick'' and ''High Jump Kick'' according to the event, what to do with that? From now on, should we include moves as well? ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 13:50, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
:No...the section is named '''Moves Used''', so we have to wait until it uses them to conferme this information..but i'm sure it will use these moves soon--[[User:Crikko|'''★''''''Cri''''''ққ''''''ѳ~''''''*''']] 13:55, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
::We apply the same policy on abilities, we never add them till it being enabled by the respective Pokemon. That's why I was wondering. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 16:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

== Huh??? ==

What is a Scraggy??? ([[User:Kmanecke|Kmanecke]] 20:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC))
:A rumoured english name for Zuruggu [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 20:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
::What is a '''RUMORED''' Name being used here for anyway??? ([[User:Kmanecke|Kmanecke]] 20:08, 27 January 2011 (UTC))
:::The user that posted it above chose to call it Scraggy, likely because the name is probaly the right one, however unconfirmed [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 20:09, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

== At Junipers? ==

Why is it that Zuruggu is in 'at Junipers' when it's in BW019? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 15:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
:We have to wait for the episode to air [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 15:17, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

== BW035 ==

I'm not sure the events of this episode are notable enough for the History section, mabye a mention in the personality [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 20:57, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:I disagree. While the majority of the episode did indeed focus on Oshawott, Scraggy was the instigator for the entire plot. If Scraggy hadn't messed with the Foongus, there wouldn't have been a reason for Oshawott to disturb the Palpitoad & company. If this isn't notable, I don't know what is.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

Ash and company are on the way to [[Fortree City]] in pursuit of Ash's next gym battle and badge. As the city comes into sight, Max notes that Fortree City has an abundance of treehouses, and Brock courteously explains that it's an old tradition in the city. Ash, on the other hand, isn't particularly interested in the trees and speeds off towards the gym. Upon arrival, Ash calls out that he's here for a battle, and he's greeted by the Fortree City Gym assistant, Zachary. Zachary informs Ash that the Gym Leader is in the village, and unfortunately she's busy with the Feather Carnival, a once-a-year celebration of the sky in the city. Of course, Ash races down to the square to find the Gym Leader. While looking around the square, Max spots a {{p|Skarmory}} flying with two people, a woman and young child, on its back.

While Ash and the gang move to track down the landing Skarmory, Team Rocket also arrives in Fortree City. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are perfectly happy to to be at a carnival, but James seems rather unhappy. When pushed, James regales them with a story from his youth -- when he was just a young boy he saw a rare {{t|Psychic}}-type {{p|Chimecho}}, which he wanted very dearly. Unfortunately, his parents wouldn't let him have one, and by the time he escaped his home to find Chimecho himself, the carnival had packed up and left. James says that this incident left him a "hollow shell of a man", and bursts into tears. However, it turns out that Jessie and Meowth got bored and walked off while he was talking, despite his emotional display.

Back with Ash and company, the Skarmory has landed and its trainer is looking for another child to take on a Pokémon ride. As usual, Brock gets to her first, but Ash fights his way through the crowd and introduces himself to the pilot, [[Winona]]. They discover quickly that [[Winona]] is the Fortree Gym Leader, so Ash immediately challenges her. Winona accepts the challenge, but delays the match until after the festival. That leaves Ash and gang fairly idle for some time, so the company calls out their Pokémon to enjoy the carnival. May and Max even get a ride on Skarmory like the other children, their first experiences on a flying Pokémon. Brock and Ash watch from the ground, discussing a combination of local history and strategy for the upcoming match.

Meanwhile, Meowth and Jessie discuss James' story. Meowth remarks that while Chimecho isn't exactly a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it's a safe bet that they won't see one around. Ironically, at that very moment, a Chimecho floats by. Elsewhere, James walks off in a huff because Jessie and Meowth ditched him. However, he passes a stand selling Chimecho-shaped bells and his anger is forgotten... and who would happen to be running this stand but our favorite swindler, the [[Magikarp salesman]]. Still stinging from his run-in with this con-man in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', James notices that the Salesman's "Chimecho" don't seem much like Chimecho, which is fairly obvious (the tape holding them together is showing). However, as usual, the Magikarp salesman tells James that he's turned over a new leaf and begs his forgiveness, all the while trying to pawn off his fake Chimecho (which he gives to James for free, so it couldn't be that bad of a deal). James walks away happy, thinking that his new "Chimecho" will bring him success and happiness. Jessie and Meowth soon find James, and are quick to point out that it's not a Chimecho -- it's in fact a {{p|Hoppip}} painted like a Chimecho with a bell for a tail. However, just as Jessie and James begin to fight over the error (and Hoppip happily floats away), a real Chimecho floats by. James asks Chimecho if it would like come along with them, and Chimecho happily agrees.

Elsewhere, Zachary and Winona lead Ash to the Fortree City Gym, an open arena on top of the gym itself, on level with the surrounding trees. Before Ash and Winona can start their battle, an explosion breaks out in the square below -- and explosion caused by Team Rocket and their new robot, a "Double Trouble Sparky Shocker" that uses electricity to disable and capture all of Fortree City's famous flying Pokémon. Winona and Skarmory immediately hit the robot with a {{m|Wing Attack}}. Team Rocket launches into their motto (joined by Chimecho), then the battle commences. Pikachu uses the usual {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, but Chimecho uses {{m|Heal Bell}}, which restores Team Rocket. In mean time, Swellow flies in on attack run with Pikachu on its back, taking several electric attacks but persevering nonetheless. Swellow finally closes with a Wing Attack, but Team Rocket counters with another electric attack and capture Swellow and Pikachu. Skarmory, however, uses a {{m|Drill Peck}} attack to break the robot's cage and free the captured Pokémon. Skarmory Drill Pecks until again (with James refusing to force Chimecho to battle) and destroys the robot. Team Rocket blasts off, and the day is saved -- though the sun is going down. Ash and Winona agree to delay the battle until the following day. The day and the Festival end with a fireworks display and some formation flying, with Winona at the head.

== Major events ==
* James purchases what he believes to be a {{p|Chimecho}}, but is actually a disguised [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Hoppip|Hoppip]], from the [[Magikarp salesman]].
* James's new Hoppip escapes before he can attempt to capture it, and is thus released.
* James obtains a {{TP|James|Chimecho}}.
* Ash meets [[Winona]], the [[Fortree City]] Gym Leader and schedules a battle with her.

== Synopsis ==

Ash and company are on the way to [[Fortree City]] in pursuit of Ash's next gym battle and badge. As the city comes into sight, Max notes that Fortree City has an abundance of treehouses, and Brock courteously explains that it's an old tradition in the city. Ash, on the other hand, isn't particularly interested in the trees and speeds off towards the gym. Upon arrival, Ash calls out that he's here for a battle, and he's greeted by the Fortree City Gym assistant, Zachary. Zachary informs Ash that the Gym Leader is in the village, and unfortunately she's busy with the Feather Carnival, a once-a-year celebration of the sky in the city. Of course, Ash races down to the square to find the Gym Leader. While looking around the square, Max spots a {{p|Skarmory}} flying with two people, a woman and young child, on its back.

While Ash and the gang move to track down the landing Skarmory, Team Rocket also arrives in Fortree City. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are perfectly happy to to be at a carnival, but James seems rather unhappy. When pushed, James regales them with a story from his youth -- when he was just a young boy he saw a rare {{t|Psychic}}-type {{p|Chimecho}}, which he wanted very dearly. Unfortunately, his parents wouldn't let him have one, and by the time he escaped his home to find Chimecho himself, the carnival had packed up and left. James says that this incident left him a "hollow shell of a man", and bursts into tears. However, it turns out that Jessie and Meowth got bored and walked off while he was talking, despite his emotional display.

Back with Ash and company, the Skarmory has landed and its trainer is looking for another child to take on a Pokémon ride. As usual, Brock gets to her first, but Ash fights his way through the crowd and introduces himself to the pilot, [[Winona]]. They discover quickly that [[Winona]] is the Fortree Gym Leader, so Ash immediately challenges her. Winona accepts the challenge, but delays the match until after the festival. That leaves Ash and gang fairly idle for some time, so the company calls out their Pokémon to enjoy the carnival. May and Max even get a ride on Skarmory like the other children, their first experiences on a flying Pokémon. Brock and Ash watch from the ground, discussing a combination of local history and strategy for the upcoming match.

Meanwhile, Meowth and Jessie discuss James' story. Meowth remarks that while Chimecho isn't exactly a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it's a safe bet that they won't see one around. Ironically, at that very moment, a Chimecho floats by. Elsewhere, James walks off in a huff because Jessie and Meowth ditched him. However, he passes a stand selling Chimecho-shaped bells and his anger is forgotten... and who would happen to be running this stand but our favorite swindler, the [[Magikarp salesman]]. Still stinging from his run-in with this con-man in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', James notices that the Salesman's "Chimecho" don't seem much like Chimecho, which is fairly obvious (the tape holding them together is showing). However, as usual, the Magikarp salesman tells James that he's turned over a new leaf and begs his forgiveness, all the while trying to pawn off his fake Chimecho (which he gives to James for free, so it couldn't be that bad of a deal). James walks away happy, thinking that his new "Chimecho" will bring him success and happiness. Jessie and Meowth soon find James, and are quick to point out that it's not a Chimecho -- it's in fact a {{p|Hoppip}} painted like a Chimecho with a bell for a tail. However, just as Jessie and James begin to fight over the error (and Hoppip happily floats away), a real Chimecho floats by. James asks Chimecho if it would like come along with them, and Chimecho happily agrees.

Elsewhere, Zachary and Winona lead Ash to the Fortree City Gym, an open arena on top of the gym itself, on level with the surrounding trees. Before Ash and Winona can start their battle, an explosion breaks out in the square below -- and explosion caused by Team Rocket and their new robot, a "Double Trouble Sparky Shocker" that uses electricity to disable and capture all of Fortree City's famous flying Pokémon. Winona and Skarmory immediately hit the robot with a {{m|Wing Attack}}. Team Rocket launches into their motto (joined by Chimecho), then the battle commences. Pikachu uses the usual {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, but Chimecho uses {{m|Heal Bell}}, which restores Team Rocket. In mean time, Swellow flies in on attack run with Pikachu on its back, taking several electric attacks but persevering nonetheless. Swellow finally closes with a Wing Attack, but Team Rocket counters with another electric attack and capture Swellow and Pikachu. Skarmory, however, uses a {{m|Drill Peck}} attack to break the robot's cage and free the captured Pokémon. Skarmory Drill Pecks until again (with James refusing to force Chimecho to battle) and destroys the robot. Team Rocket blasts off, and the day is saved -- though the sun is going down. Ash and Winona agree to delay the battle until the following day. The day and the Festival end with a fireworks display and some formation flying, with Winona at the head.

== Major events ==
* James purchases what he believes to be a {{p|Chimecho}}, but is actually a disguised [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Hoppip|Hoppip]], from the [[Magikarp salesman]].
* James's new Hoppip escapes before he can attempt to capture it, and is thus released.
* James obtains a {{TP|James|Chimecho}}.
* Ash meets [[Winona]], the [[Fortree City]] Gym Leader and schedules a battle with her.

[[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are perfectly happy to to be at a carnival, but James seems rather unhappy. When pushed, James regales them with a story from his youth -- when he was just a young boy he saw a rare {{t|Psychic}}-type {{p|Chimecho}}, which he wanted very dearly. Unfortunately, his parents wouldn't let him have one, and by the time he escaped his home to find Chimecho himself, the carnival had packed up and left. James says that this incident left him a "hollow shell of a man", and bursts into tears. However, it turns out that Jessie and Meowth got bored and walked off while he was talking, despite his emotional display.

Back with Ash and company, the Skarmory has landed and its trainer is looking for another child to take on a Pokémon ride. As usual, Brock gets to her first, but Ash fights his way through the crowd and introduces himself to the pilot, [[Winona]]. They discover quickly that [[Winona]] is the Fortree Gym Leader, so Ash immediately challenges her. Winona accepts the challenge, but delays the match until after the festival. That leaves Ash and gang fairly idle for some time, so the company calls out their Pokémon to enjoy the carnival. May and Max even get a ride on Skarmory like the other children, their first experiences on a flying Pokémon. Brock and Ash watch from the ground, discussing a combination of local history and strategy for the upcoming match.

Meanwhile, Meowth and Jessie discuss James' story. Meowth remarks that while Chimecho isn't exactly a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it's a safe bet that they won't see one around. Ironically, at that very moment, a Chimecho floats by. Elsewhere, James walks off in a huff because Jessie and Meowth ditched him. However, he passes a stand selling Chimecho-shaped bells and his anger is forgotten... and who would happen to be running this stand but our favorite swindler, the [[Magikarp salesman]]. Still stinging from his run-in with this con-man in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', James notices that the Salesman's "Chimecho" don't seem much like Chimecho, which is fairly obvious (the tape holding them together is showing). However, as usual, the Magikarp salesman tells James that he's turned over a new leaf and begs his forgiveness, all the while trying to pawn off his fake Chimecho (which he gives to James for free, so it couldn't be that bad of a deal). James walks away happy, thinking that his new "Chimecho" will bring him success and happiness. Jessie and Meowth soon find James, and are quick to point out that it's not a Chimecho -- it's in fact a {{p|Hoppip}} painted like a Chimecho with a bell for a tail. However, just as Jessie and James begin to fight over the error (and Hoppip happily floats away), a real Chimecho floats by. James asks Chimecho if it would like come along with them, and Chimecho happily agrees.

Elsewhere, Zachary and Winona lead Ash to the Fortree City Gym, an open arena on top of the gym itself, on level with the surrounding trees. Before Ash and Winona can start their battle, an explosion breaks out in the square below -- and explosion caused by Team Rocket and their new robot, a "Double Trouble Sparky Shocker" that uses electricity to disable and capture all of Fortree City's famous flying Pokémon. Winona and Skarmory immediately hit the robot with a {{m|Wing Attack}}. Team Rocket launches into their motto (joined by Chimecho), then the battle commences. Pikachu uses the usual {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, but Chimecho uses {{m|Heal Bell}}, which restores Team Rocket. In mean time, Swellow flies in on attack run with Pikachu on its back, taking several electric attacks but persevering nonetheless. Swellow finally closes with a Wing Attack, but Team Rocket counters with another electric attack and capture Swellow and Pikachu. Skarmory, however, uses a {{m|Drill Peck}} attack to break the robot's cage and free the captured Pokémon. Skarmory Drill Pecks until again (with James refusing to force Chimecho to battle) and destroys the robot. Team Rocket blasts off, and the day is saved -- though the sun is going down. Ash and Winona agree to delay the battle until the following day. The day and the Festival end with a fireworks display and some formation flying, with Winona at the head.

* This is one of the few times James catches a new Pokémon on his own. Ironically, the Pokémon he has caught thus far, {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, he has caught with friendship rather than the usual Team Rocket method -- stealing.
* This was [[Megumi Hayashibara]]'s final episode as [[Jessie]] before starting maternity leave from the show.
* In the dub, [[You & Me & Pokémon]] is used as background music while Ash and friends are enjoying the carnival.
=== Errors ===

*When Team Rocket blasts off, [[Jessie's Wobbufett|Wobbufett]] is shown to be dirty and beat, despite being previously in it's pokéball.

'''A Shroomish Skirmish''' (Japanese: '''森の格闘王！？ワカシャモvsキノガッサ！''' ''The Fighting King of the Forest!? {{tt|Wakasyamo|Combusken}} vs. {{tt|Kinogassa|Breloom}}!'') is the 82nd episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 356th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 24, 2004 and in the United States on June 11, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
The episode begins with everyone having their lunch and, as usual, {{an|Brock}}'s food is great. {{AP|Corphish}} steals {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s food, which of course ignites a fight. Pikachu, as usual, tries to stop it and everyone gets {{m|ThunderShock|shocked}} by {{AP|Pikachu}}. That doesn't stop the fighting, though. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] are starving as usual. {{MTR}} remembers to the second the last time that they had real food. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} "finds" some fruit from somewhere, which in turn leads to an argument. However, it does not turn into a fight because Team Rocket then realize Wobbuffet got the fruit from a group of weak {{p|Shroomish}}. Team Rocket then fight the Pokémon off-screen for the fruit. Finally, the Pokémon belonging to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|company}} stop their fighting and are summarily told off by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

Team Rocket eat the apples they've stolen while the Shroomish have become angry and evolve into {{p|Breloom}}. While fleeing, Team Rocket run straight into Ash and company. They launch into their now-familiar {{TP|Team Rocket|motto|mottos}}, stop briefly to steal more food, and then resume the motto from where they left off earlier. However, the angry Breloom have followed them and proceed to use {{m|Mach Punch}} on everyone.

Everyone blasts off! {{an|May}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} land together on a tree branch hanging above a large, deep ravine. Torchic, crying, lands with Corphish and follows the Pokémon as it leads them away. Ash and Brock land together somewhere in a forest with Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}}. The two Pokémon are then instructed to search for the others, but only seconds later, Ash and Brock are again attacked by the Breloom. Ash wants to fight but Brock doesn't, and they both flee.

Meowth and Max land together and quickly meet up with Torchic and Corphish. Meanwhile, May and Mudkip run into Team Rocket (after using Mudkip's radar). Team Rocket run right off the cliff and land onto an overhanging tree branch. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] hug each other desperately. However, Torchic is still sad and appears to be hungry.

Ash still wants to fight the Pokémon but Brock drags him off. While running, the two friends end up rolling down a hill. Pikachu and Swellow later meet up with Meowth and Max, who have been cornered by the Breloom against a rock face. Pikachu bravely joins the fight while Swellow searches for Ash. Ash and Brock fall on top of Team Rocket, and all plunge into the gorge below. They are saved by a {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack from {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}. Swellow reports back.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Corphish are fighting a losing battle to protect everyone else. Corphish then stands in the way to protect Torchic and is getting beaten up by the four Breloom. Corphish is almost knocked out, but is saved by the sudden arrival of May and Mudkip. Another surprise attack almost does him in, but Torchic (who up until now had been cowering) gets in the way and appears angry. Torchic then [[evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|May|Combusken}}!

Everyone's on the scene now and Combusken battles the Breloom. After using an initially useless {{t|Fire}} attack (which was fended off with a Mega Punch attack), Breloom challenges Combusken to hand-to-hand combat. Combusken obliges, and a vicious fight ensues. Both Pokémon are hit numerous times in the face by punches and kicks, and in the end a cross-counter knocks out both Pokémon. Team Rocket, while complimenting the fighting Pokémon, inadvertently say something to annoy both Breloom and Combusken, and are subsequently blasted off by their combined attacks. By now, as Meowth translates, Combusken and Breloom have a grudging respect for each other.

The episode ends with Brock making more food to satisfy everyone's appetite. Again, Corphish tries to steal some food but is frightened off by the stronger Combusken.

== Major events ==

* May's Combusken learns {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Sky Uppercut}}.

== Trivia ==
*This episode is featured on the ''Volume 19: Torchic'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].

=== Errors ===
*During one scene when Ash and a group of Breloom were fighting, the tip of one Breloom's tail is red instead of green.
*During the opening scene Brock's Lombre has a dark shade of green instead of light green on its face.

=== Dub edits ===
* Several shots of the fight between May's Combusken and the lead Breloom were cut out.

{{MissingInfo|2|enva|java}}

The M.F.P. (Mothers for Pokémon) are the recurring characters who appeared in [[AG077|Cruisin' for a Losin']]. They are a group of mothers who love Pokémon. [[Savannah]] appears to be their leader, as they said that she's their "pride and joy" because she has won a contest before.

They seem to be obsessed with 'famous' people, such as [[Drew]], and [[Norman]]. They claim to have pictures of Drew from every contest he has entered. They also have other Drew and Norman merchandise.

While Savannah was getting ready for her contest, the other M.F.P. members were out doing her shopping and other chores.

During the contest, they were shown to be cheering for Savannah, Drew, and [[May]].

'''Shroomish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノココ''' ''Kinococo'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Breloom}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shroomish are small green and peach colored Pokémon with a clear inspiration from mushrooms. They are peach on the upper half, where they are spotted with green and have a small opening at the top. This section ends with frilled segments, which overlap its green underside, which is round and has small, round feet. Shroomish seem to have a near permanent frown on their face.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Shroomish has a buildup of poisonous powders inside, which it can release when threatened. Some Shroomish also heal when {{status|poison}}ed.

===Behavior===
Shroomish is said to be mild tempered, and are often found keeping still under fallen leaves. If Shroomish senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters toxic spores from the top of its head.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Prefers the damp soil of large forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Shroomish eat naturally decayed plants, leaves, and other compost found on the forest floor. However, they are sometimes found in possession of a [[Kebia Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shroomish anime.png|200px|right|thumb|A group of Shroomish in the anime]]

Shroomish appeared in ''[[AG009|Taming of the Shroomish]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} saved a group of these Mushroom Pokémon from having the abandoned mansion they called home from being destroyed.

Several Shroomish that [[Team Rocket]] angered evolved into {{p|Breloom}} in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Shroomish first appeared in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[AG030|A Meditite Fight]]''.

Various Shroomish appeared in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''.

Two Shroomish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship’s Pokémon Center.

==Trivia==
* Shroomish is the only Grass-type to learn {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} via {{pkmn|breeding}}, despite not possessing hands.
* Shroomish is able to learn {{m|False Swipe}} via the Shadow Shroomish being purified in {{Pokémon XD}}, yet it does not posses claws or any other objects to slice with. It learns the move immediately after purification.
* Shroomish and its evolved form, {{p|Breloom}}, share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** These are also the only Pokémon that can have the ability {{a|Effect Spore}} without having come from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}.
* Shroomish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Paras}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Shroomish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Paras is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], with both Pokémon found in a [[Mass Outbreak]] in {{rt|11|Unova|the same location}} in their respective versions. Additionally, both are based on fungi.

===Origin===
Shroomish is based on a mushroom.

====Name origin====
Shroomish's name is derived from ''{{wp|mushroom}}'' and the suffix ''-ish'', meaning ''-like'', or the word ''skirmish'', since {{p|Breloom|Shroomish's evolved form}} is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

''Kinococo'' is a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 子 ''ko'', child.

== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} have finally returned to [[Petalburg City]], where {{an|May}} and [[Max]] are looking forward to seeing their family, and Ash is after another [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. As they walk through downtown, they spot yet another poster of [[Norman]], and realize he must be pretty famous and idolized here as well. Max and May already knew this, of course, and that he's been undefeated for a while. However, Ash is pretty motivated and confident about beating him, especially after having gone to the [[Pokémon Center]] several times. Max and May aren't too sure about that…

While Ash splits up and goes to heal at the Pokémon Center, Max and May drop by at home for a visit and a pit stop, and boast about their progress and captures. When they get there, a young lad named {{ho|Kenny}} greets them at the doorstep. They all seem to know him, Max and May explain that this guy is one of Norman's best students, and he's a good cleaning man like {{an|Brock}}. However, Brock happened to meet him and get acquainted with him back when he was on his way from [[Pewter City]] to meet up with Ash and friends in [[Hoenn]], so he knows him too. Max and May ask him if their dad knows that they're around, but then he quickly changes to a suspicious tone and says that he's out doing some… business. Then, he whispers to them something about not to worry, he'll explain everything soon, but now is not the time. This leaves them utterly confused, but before they can say anything, [[Caroline]], their mother comes and greets them!

As they say their hellos, they trample her with hugs, and say that they've been on quite a big adventure. However, before they explain, they ask where their dad is… and Caroline stops dead at that mention. Kenny then hears what's going on, and quickly interrupts and change the subject and starts cleaning the area, and asks them to tell more about their adventure. So, Caroline invites them all in for lunch, and asks Brock to possibly help out a bit.

Meanwhile, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} have arrived at the Pokémon Center, and Ash is surprised to see that aside from [[Nurse Joy]] being there, Norman is leaning over the front desk engaged in a deep conversation with her. Of course, while that can be taken suspiciously in many ways, Ash is only psyched about having that battle, so the sight of Norman alone is enough to get him going. Ash quickly runs up to reunite with him, and is excited to prove that he's gotten stronger. He feels even more special that Norman actually remembers him, but then he realizes that's not really a surprise since he's a friend of his children. He sure does have a lot to talk to Norman about. His four {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught|captures}}… having won four [[badge]]s… Norman's impressed with all that, and feels that he can now take Ash on in a proper Gym battle for once, three on three. Joy then comments about how Norman is a great Gym leader (and also mentions something under her breath about his good looks). Norman slightly blushes and thanks her, while Joy happily heals Ash's Pokémon. ''Now'' Ash is starting to come to his senses of suspicion.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] are hiding out in the nearby jungle, trying to devise a new plan to become popular, since last time didn't work. After much deliberation, {{MTR}} remembers that the [[twerp]]s are going to the Gym for a battle, and perhaps they can use the old hide-underground-and-snag trick…

Back at their lodge, Max and May are eating and bragging about their journeys, and adventures with Team Rocket. Then May scolds Max for making an impression of bragging about an evil organization, and Max slightly apologizes. Then they tell them a little about their other friend Ash, who's a great {{pkmn|Trainer}} and has four [[Badge]]s, and he's here to challenge dad once again… and once again, Caroline stops dead in her cooking at that mention. Kenny then quickly walks in and steers them off that subject by asking to tell a bit more about their adventure, and what kinds of Pokémon they captured. May mentions that her best Pokémon now is {{TP|May|Beautifly}}… and Caroline goes even more sour at the mention of Beautifly! Kenny, who can't think of a safe way to explain this situation, quickly stands in the way so they can't see their mom's reaction, while Max brags about how Beautifly got her to win some {{pkmn|Contest}}s. Caroline is now nearly losing her temper, but Kenny can't let them see that, so he tries to console her and calm her down and not be that sensitive. So then, with a tone of sadness in her voice, she tries her best to act happy for them. But the mystery about why Caroline gets so uptight about Beautifly still remains unsolved.

After lunch, Kenny takes Max, May, and Brock out into the nearby woods where Norman trains to explain the situation. He begins to warn them that this may give them a nasty shock, but before he gets to it, Max jumps in excitement. They turn around, and notice their old friend {{P|Vigoroth}} hanging from a branch. Then they remember that exact same Vigoroth battling Ash's Pikachu, and know that he'll have to face it again. Max is pretty sure he won't stand a chance, that Vigoroth is pretty tough. May then notices him hugging it, and isn't sure if he's supporting Vigoroth or his dad more. Kenny is still waiting patiently for an opportunity to explain the situation… but is then interrupted by a {{p|Slakoth}} hanging from that tree as well! May, interested, gets a bit of data on Slakoth from the [[Pokédex]]. They explain to Brock that this is also Norman's, and Ash will have to face it as well. However, it's rather lazy compared to its evolution, Vigoroth. Kenny is now desperate to get to the point, but then Max points to a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}} resting nearby! May grabs some info from the Pokédex again, and Max realizes that since this is Vigoroth's [[evolution]], it must be their dad's best Pokémon. Now, Kenny is getting sick of waiting, so he asks them to kindly listen to him.

As they crowd around, he whispers that rumor has it that… Norman is in [[FireworksShipping|love]] with the local Nurse Joy! Max and May gasp (and Brock too, because he's jealous of Norman). Kenny explains that he's never openly admitted it, but he hasn't been to the house in a long time, and has been acting shady. And one time he accidentally overheard them doing some slight flirting with each other. Max and May are nearly too shocked to ask anything, but Max is still wondering about the Beautifly thing. Kenny explains that when they got married, on their honeymoon, the most memorable romantic moment was in a field of flowers and Beautifly, so whenever they think of Beautifly, they think of their romance. But now with all this, it's no wonder she wouldn't want to hear about Beautifly, especially since that cute picture of them there was stored away by Caroline when she started going through this tough time. Just then, their buddy Ash finds them in that secret hideout, and then May and co remember where Ash has been…

Team Rocket are also in the woods, and they notice the twerps, and are ready to devise a plan to steal {{p|Pikachu}}. However, {{MTR}} suggests they snag Slakoth, Vigoroth, and {{p|Slaking}} instead, since they would make good presents for the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}. Vigoroth to wake him up, and Slakoth and Slaking to help him relax after a long day's work. Team Rocket love that idea and decide to go through with it.

The first thing Ash says when he meets them is that he saw their father, Norman, and he seems to be doing good. He was also talking to Joy about something, but he couldn't exactly tell. Now, it all connects to the rest of them, even more evidence. Once again, they ask Ash if he managed to pick up anything odd in their conversation, involving romance. Then he mentions he saw them both blushing… and they stop Ash and thank him saying that's enough evidence. Then, while they explain to him what they know about what's going on, Brock puts on an act and calls himself "The master of love" and runs off to the center, and claims he's gonna get to the bottom of this. The others aren't so sure, knowing Brock and his antics when it comes to stuff like this, so they decide to follow him in case he does anything stupid. That is, everyone but Ash. He's still somewhat confused, and yells at them to wait up… but before he can catch up to him, Vigoroth falls on him from the tree, surprising him. Surely Ash and Pikachu recognize it from their initial battle with Norman, so they greet each other once again. Vigoroth happens to remember them too.

As the rest of them arrive at the center, they see Norman leaning over the front desk in a deep conversation with Joy, which is enough to make them nervous. Nurse Joy recognizes them and tells Norman that they're there. They all greet him, and pretend they don't know anything, as he asks about their journey. But they're too shocked to talk, but Brock is still a bit blind to what's happening and is a little jealous of Norman. Norman also knows Brock from when he visited that time, but he didn't know about how flirtatious he was. Quickly, Brock runs and starts flirting with Joy as usual, but Kenny gets mad and pulls him away.

Back in the jungle, Team Rocket arrive at a door, which they think is the Gym. As they go in, they notice a machine, and immediately realizes it isn't. Jessie remembers that the Gym is in the other direction.

In another part of the jungle training area, it's finally time for Ash to meet his other two opponents, Slakoth and Slaking. He introduces himself and Pikachu to Slakoth, but Slaking is still sleeping. Hopefully he'll be ready to face them soon…

Back at the Center, Brock has finally lost his marbles, and blows up at Norman about how Caroline is worried sick at home about him, and how Joy is meant to be with ''him'' instead of Norman. Kenny then gets extremely aggravated, and pulls Brock away again, dragging him out. Even May is stunned at Brock pulling something like that.

Suddenly, a very angry Caroline appears in the doorway, and tells him off for what she knows. Everyone is surprised to see her, especially Norman. When she asks for an explanation, he says he's just visiting, and they all fall over. They keep trying to squeeze it out of him, but he openly denies it and stays silent, even when Kenny asks him. He'd never lie to Kenny.

In the woods, Team Rocket see Ash and Pikachu sitting with the Slakoth line trio, and jump out at a perfect opportunity. They say their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto|mottos}} and attack Ash with {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. He's gonna have to think fast…

Back at the Center, there's a big affair brawl going on. Norman feels bad about what he's done, and says he loves Caroline with all his heart, but its hard for Caroline to forgive him. The kids are of course on the side that they should unite as a family once again. As the argument continues, Max breaks out into tears, and goes on about how he misses living with them as a family, and he loves them both deeply, and that his father is like a hero to him, and he doesn't know what he'd do if they were apart. Caroline is actually really touched by Max's words, as is Norman. Now it looks like he's given them something to think about, since they both deeply love their children…

Seviper attacks Pikachu with {{m|Poison Tail}}, while {{p|Cacnea}} attacks the Slakoth with {{m|Pin Missile}}. While they all run with Ash (except Slaking who's still asleep), Seviper fires another Poison Tail, breaking the door to the place down and knocking them all out. Suddenly, to his luck, Norman, Joy, Caroline, Kenny and the kids come to the rescue! Norman is the only one that can control them, and he looks especially angry they attack with Poison Tail and Pin Missile, destroying that machine! With rage, Norman yells in a booming voice for Slaking to wake up. It may be heavy sleeping, but it can hear him. Slaking then charges at them angrily, and fires a {{m|Focus Punch}}, blasting them to oblivion.

However, Norman is still angry that his machine has been destroyed. That's a real disappointment to everyone else as well, but Joy happens to be able to fix it. Norman gladly thanks Joy, but Caroline looks a bit jealously paranoid again… until Brock comes and starts flirting with Joy, only to be dragged away by Max. When Joy finishes fixing it, they set off the machine… and Beautifly-shaped fireworks are shot into the air! Joy also appologizes about being secretive, but she reveals that Norman knew that she is also a fireworks technician. He wanted to arrange a special gift for Caroline to celebrate their anniversary, the Beautifly fireworks commemorating that day in the flower field with all the Beautifly. Everyone cheers as they hug once again, happily ever after.

While Norman goes in to get some more drinks, Caroline tells them about their wedding and their honeymoon, and the symbolism of Beautifly to them. Then he comes back, thanks Ash for saving his Pokémon, and tells him that he has convinced him he is a worthy Trainer, and he can have the battle tomorrow. Max, however, still insists that Ash doesn't stand a chance, but Ash is motivated as usual. May seems to have mixed feelings about who will win, and who to root for… well, that will all be determined tomorrow!

== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} have finally returned to [[Petalburg City]], where {{an|May}} and [[Max]] are looking forward to seeing their family, and Ash is after another [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. As they walk through downtown, they spot yet another poster of [[Norman]], and realize he must be pretty famous and idolized here as well. Max and May already knew this, of course, and that he's been undefeated for a while. However, Ash is pretty motivated and confident about beating him, especially after having gone to the [[Pokémon Center]] several times. Max and May aren't too sure about that…

While Ash splits up and goes to heal at the Pokémon Center, Max and May drop by at home for a visit and a pit stop, and boast about their progress and captures. When they get there, a young lad named {{ho|Kenny}} greets them at the doorstep. They all seem to know him, Max and May explain that this guy is one of Norman's best students, and he's a good cleaning man like {{an|Brock}}. However, Brock happened to meet him and get acquainted with him back when he was on his way from [[Pewter City]] to meet up with Ash and friends in [[Hoenn]], so he knows him too. Max and May ask him if their dad knows that they're around, but then he quickly changes to a suspicious tone and says that he's out doing some… business. Then, he whispers to them something about not to worry, he'll explain everything soon, but now is not the time. This leaves them utterly confused, but before they can say anything, [[Caroline]], their mother comes and greets them!

As they say their hellos, they trample her with hugs, and say that they've been on quite a big adventure. However, before they explain, they ask where their dad is… and Caroline stops dead at that mention. Kenny then hears what's going on, and quickly interrupts and change the subject and starts cleaning the area, and asks them to tell more about their adventure. So, Caroline invites them all in for lunch, and asks Brock to possibly help out a bit.

Meanwhile, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} have arrived at the Pokémon Center, and Ash is surprised to see that aside from [[Nurse Joy]] being there, Norman is leaning over the front desk engaged in a deep conversation with her. Of course, while that can be taken suspiciously in many ways, Ash is only psyched about having that battle, so the sight of Norman alone is enough to get him going. Ash quickly runs up to reunite with him, and is excited to prove that he's gotten stronger. He feels even more special that Norman actually remembers him, but then he realizes that's not really a surprise since he's a friend of his children. He sure does have a lot to talk to Norman about. His four {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught|captures}}… having won four [[badge]]s… Norman's impressed with all that, and feels that he can now take Ash on in a proper Gym battle for once, three on three. Joy then comments about how Norman is a great Gym leader (and also mentions something under her breath about his good looks). Norman slightly blushes and thanks her, while Joy happily heals Ash's Pokémon. ''Now'' Ash is starting to come to his senses of suspicion.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] are hiding out in the nearby jungle, trying to devise a new plan to become popular, since last time didn't work. After much deliberation, {{MTR}} remembers that the [[twerp]]s are going to the Gym for a battle, and perhaps they can use the old hide-underground-and-snag trick…

Back at their lodge, Max and May are eating and bragging about their journeys, and adventures with Team Rocket. Then May scolds Max for making an impression of bragging about an evil organization, and Max slightly apologizes. Then they tell them a little about their other friend Ash, who's a great {{pkmn|Trainer}} and has four [[Badge]]s, and he's here to challenge dad once again… and once again, Caroline stops dead in her cooking at that mention. Kenny then quickly walks in and steers them off that subject by asking to tell a bit more about their adventure, and what kinds of Pokémon they captured. May mentions that her best Pokémon now is {{TP|May|Beautifly}}… and Caroline goes even more sour at the mention of Beautifly! Kenny, who can't think of a safe way to explain this situation, quickly stands in the way so they can't see their mom's reaction, while Max brags about how Beautifly got her to win some {{pkmn|Contest}}s. Caroline is now nearly losing her temper, but Kenny can't let them see that, so he tries to console her and calm her down and not be that sensitive. So then, with a tone of sadness in her voice, she tries her best to act happy for them. But the mystery about why Caroline gets so uptight about Beautifly still remains unsolved.

After lunch, Kenny takes Max, May, and Brock out into the nearby woods where Norman trains to explain the situation. He begins to warn them that this may give them a nasty shock, but before he gets to it, Max jumps in excitement. They turn around, and notice their old friend {{P|Vigoroth}} hanging from a branch. Then they remember that exact same Vigoroth battling Ash's Pikachu, and know that he'll have to face it again. Max is pretty sure he won't stand a chance, that Vigoroth is pretty tough. May then notices him hugging it, and isn't sure if he's supporting Vigoroth or his dad more. Kenny is still waiting patiently for an opportunity to explain the situation… but is then interrupted by a {{p|Slakoth}} hanging from that tree as well! May, interested, gets a bit of data on Slakoth from the [[Pokédex]]. They explain to Brock that this is also Norman's, and Ash will have to face it as well. However, it's rather lazy compared to its evolution, Vigoroth. Kenny is now desperate to get to the point, but then Max points to a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}} resting nearby! May grabs some info from the Pokédex again, and Max realizes that since this is Vigoroth's [[evolution]], it must be their dad's best Pokémon. Now, Kenny is getting sick of waiting, so he asks them to kindly listen to him.

As they crowd around, he whispers that rumor has it that… Norman is in [[FireworksShipping|love]] with the local Nurse Joy! Max and May gasp (and Brock too, because he's jealous of Norman). Kenny explains that he's never openly admitted it, but he hasn't been to the house in a long time, and has been acting shady. And one time he accidentally overheard them doing some slight flirting with each other. Max and May are nearly too shocked to ask anything, but Max is still wondering about the Beautifly thing. Kenny explains that when they got married, on their honeymoon, the most memorable romantic moment was in a field of flowers and Beautifly, so whenever they think of Beautifly, they think of their romance. But now with all this, it's no wonder she wouldn't want to hear about Beautifly, especially since that cute picture of them there was stored away by Caroline when she started going through this tough time. Just then, their buddy Ash finds them in that secret hideout, and then May and co remember where Ash has been…

Team Rocket are also in the woods, and they notice the twerps, and are ready to devise a plan to steal {{p|Pikachu}}. However, {{MTR}} suggests they snag Slakoth, Vigoroth, and {{p|Slaking}} instead, since they would make good presents for the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}. Vigoroth to wake him up, and Slakoth and Slaking to help him relax after a long day's work. Team Rocket love that idea and decide to go through with it.

The first thing Ash says when he meets them is that he saw their father, Norman, and he seems to be doing good. He was also talking to Joy about something, but he couldn't exactly tell. Now, it all connects to the rest of them, even more evidence. Once again, they ask Ash if he managed to pick up anything odd in their conversation, involving romance. Then he mentions he saw them both blushing… and they stop Ash and thank him saying that's enough evidence. Then, while they explain to him what they know about what's going on, Brock puts on an act and calls himself "The master of love" and runs off to the center, and claims he's gonna get to the bottom of this. The others aren't so sure, knowing Brock and his antics when it comes to stuff like this, so they decide to follow him in case he does anything stupid. That is, everyone but Ash. He's still somewhat confused, and yells at them to wait up… but before he can catch up to him, Vigoroth falls on him from the tree, surprising him. Surely Ash and Pikachu recognize it from their initial battle with Norman, so they greet each other once again. Vigoroth happens to remember them too.

As the rest of them arrive at the center, they see Norman leaning over the front desk in a deep conversation with Joy, which is enough to make them nervous. Nurse Joy recognizes them and tells Norman that they're there. They all greet him, and pretend they don't know anything, as he asks about their journey. But they're too shocked to talk, but Brock is still a bit blind to what's happening and is a little jealous of Norman. Norman also knows Brock from when he visited that time, but he didn't know about how flirtatious he was. Quickly, Brock runs and starts flirting with Joy as usual, but Kenny gets mad and pulls him away.

Back in the jungle, Team Rocket arrive at a door, which they think is the Gym. As they go in, they notice a machine, and immediately realizes it isn't. Jessie remembers that the Gym is in the other direction.

In another part of the jungle training area, it's finally time for Ash to meet his other two opponents, Slakoth and Slaking. He introduces himself and Pikachu to Slakoth, but Slaking is still sleeping. Hopefully he'll be ready to face them soon…

Back at the Center, Brock has finally lost his marbles, and blows up at Norman about how Caroline is worried sick at home about him, and how Joy is meant to be with ''him'' instead of Norman. Kenny then gets extremely aggravated, and pulls Brock away again, dragging him out. Even May is stunned at Brock pulling something like that.

Suddenly, a very angry Caroline appears in the doorway, and tells him off for what she knows. Everyone is surprised to see her, especially Norman. When she asks for an explanation, he says he's just visiting, and they all fall over. They keep trying to squeeze it out of him, but he openly denies it and stays silent, even when Kenny asks him. He'd never lie to Kenny.

In the woods, Team Rocket see Ash and Pikachu sitting with the Slakoth line trio, and jump out at a perfect opportunity. They say their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto|mottos}} and attack Ash with {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. He's gonna have to think fast…

Back at the Center, there's a big affair brawl going on. Norman feels bad about what he's done, and says he loves Caroline with all his heart, but its hard for Caroline to forgive him. The kids are of course on the side that they should unite as a family once again. As the argument continues, Max breaks out into tears, and goes on about how he misses living with them as a family, and he loves them both deeply, and that his father is like a hero to him, and he doesn't know what he'd do if they were apart. Caroline is actually really touched by Max's words, as is Norman. Now it looks like he's given them something to think about, since they both deeply love their children…

Seviper attacks Pikachu with {{m|Poison Tail}}, while {{p|Cacnea}} attacks the Slakoth with {{m|Pin Missile}}. While they all run with Ash (except Slaking who's still asleep), Seviper fires another Poison Tail, breaking the door to the place down and knocking them all out. Suddenly, to his luck, Norman, Joy, Caroline, Kenny and the kids come to the rescue! Norman is the only one that can control them, and he looks especially angry they attack with Poison Tail and Pin Missile, destroying that machine! With rage, Norman yells in a booming voice for Slaking to wake up. It may be heavy sleeping, but it can hear him. Slaking then charges at them angrily, and fires a {{m|Focus Punch}}, blasting them to oblivion.

However, Norman is still angry that his machine has been destroyed. That's a real disappointment to everyone else as well, but Joy happens to be able to fix it. Norman gladly thanks Joy, but Caroline looks a bit jealously paranoid again… until Brock comes and starts flirting with Joy, only to be dragged away by Max. When Joy finishes fixing it, they set off the machine… and Beautifly-shaped fireworks are shot into the air! Joy also appologizes about being secretive, but she reveals that Norman knew that she is also a fireworks technician. He wanted to arrange a special gift for Caroline to celebrate their anniversary, the Beautifly fireworks commemorating that day in the flower field with all the Beautifly. Everyone cheers as they hug once again, happily ever after.

While Norman goes in to get some more drinks, Caroline tells them about their wedding and their honeymoon, and the symbolism of Beautifly to them. Then he comes back, thanks Ash for saving his Pokémon, and tells him that he has convinced him he is a worthy Trainer, and he can have the battle tomorrow. Max, however, still insists that Ash doesn't stand a chance, but Ash is motivated as usual. May seems to have mixed feelings about who will win, and who to root for… well, that will all be determined tomorrow!

The Lavaridge Gym appeared in two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Its first appearance was in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion]]''. Flannery had just taken over the Gym from [[Mr. Moore|her grandfather]], but had not yet had a {{pkmn|battle}}. In fact, the battlefield was filled with holes and hadn't been cleaned up since the last Gym battle. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} helped Flannery clean up the battlefield, and they had their Gym battle in the [[AG056|following episode]].

'''James''' (Japanese: '''コジロウ''' ''Kojirō'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:James BW.png|left|thumb|150px|Art from episodes [[BW001]] - [[BW023]] in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
An only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society while growing up. Often having to take part in numerous lessons and activities he had little to no interest in, he eventually began to grow weary of the rules and standards that appeared to be ever-present within the upper-class. At a young age, he was engaged to a girl named [[Jessiebelle]]. It was revealed in ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]'' that he wanted to marry her at some point. But he changed his mind after he saw how controlling and overbearing she was. Unable to stand her, he ran away, leaving his lavish lifestyle as well as beloved pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], behind. He attempted to enroll in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, and flunked out; as did his new friend [[Jessie]]. Then, with Jessie, he joined the [[Sunny Town]] bicycle gang, where he was popular for being the only gang member to have to use training wheels (nicknamed "Trainer Jim"). Eventually James, Jessie, and the bike gang went their separate ways.

Due to conflicts in canon between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history.
[[File:James BW anime.png|thumb|James in the {{series|Best Wishes}} from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''|220px]]
Surprisingly, James has shown to be relatively well versed in various activities, including Pokémon Haiku, [[Pokémon Orienteering]], and [[PokéRinger]] among other things, making him almost something of a "Jack of all Trades". It is possible that he developed his skills during his temporary separation from Jessie, or even from the many lessons he was enrolled in as a child, but this is not known for sure.

[[File:Younger James.png|thumb|250px|Younger James and Growlie]]
Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle as a child, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, he'll seem very lost without his companions. James also appears to have the most conscience among the three, and is the least prone to backstabbing someone who is kind to him. He can actually be quite sinister when he wants to, however.

In the episode ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his home as a result of a trap by his parents, who pretended to be dead in order to get him to come back to the estate, knowing he would return to pay his respects. He suspected that it was a trap, but he ended up being forced into participating by Jessie and Meowth, who wanted the fortune. After the deception was revealed, he was once again subjected to Jessiebelle's torment until Growlie came to his rescue. After temporarily chasing Jessiebelle away, James soon left his family's manor and as a result declined his inheritance. Growlie stayed behind upon James's request when he returned to Jessie and Meowth.
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character, has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money.

James also has a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|tendency to cross-dress]], but has not done it since ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', with the exception of the occasional impersonation of characters such as [[Nurse Joy]]'s and [[Officer Jenny]]'s. In fact, ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' marks the first time he cross-dresses in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, though it was him disguised as [[Jessie|Jessalina]]. He also often dresses up like famous celebrities as well, such as {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Juan]], and [[Norman]], and impersonates other non-human objects, including Pokémon, animals, and even bushes and trees.

[[File:James Croagunk card.png|200px|thumb|right|One of James's Pokédex cards, detailing about [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]]]]
James loves rare bottle caps and has an impressive collection of them. This hobby started when he was a young child. In the episode ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' it is revealed that he has "drunk enough soda pop to float an aircraft carrier".

For unknown reasons, he, Jessie and Meowth mostly use [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|hot air balloons]] instead of faster ways of transportation. However in newer episodes the balloon is shown with 'jets' attached to explain how they get from one place to another faster than walking.

At times, instead of a [[Pokédex]], he uses a deck of cards to identify Pokémon, such as in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'' when he first learns of Croagunk's Poison Jab with it, or in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'' when he uses it to look up Hippopotas (explaining why he knows the Pokémon to be named "Hippopotas" and not "Hippopontas" as Jessie calls it). They appear to have the same entry as an electronic Pokédex, including a few basic parameters like height and weight, though it is unknown how many Pokémon they include (however, he seems to have used them mostly for Sinnoh Pokémon thus far).

Throughout most of the series, James and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always blundering their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. Recently, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in his work, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before and using ingenious methods of escape, such as a smoke curtain, and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Now wearing black uniforms instead of their previous white ones, Jessie and James, along with Meowth, followed various missions given to them by Giovanni through other people. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow their other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. Unknown to the two, Giovanni was not certain they would be successful; however, he sees that their presence in the region will force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves. In ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Jessie and James go back to their white uniforms.

===Pokémon===
As the standards of the Team Rocket organization dictated, James was first shown with a Poison-type Pokémon. However, James seems to have a fondness for carnivorous (or at least dangerous) {{type2|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, owning {{p|Weepinbell}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, and {{p|Carnivine}}. It was shown during a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' how James, as a boy, found {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]]. It was trapped in the mud and James rescued it, the two forming a bond of friendship. It is not shown how he {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} Weepinbell, but he had owned it for a long period of time before its first appearance. The capture of a {{p|Cacnea}} early in Hoenn furthered his apparent preference for Grass-types. Often, when going into battle, his Grass Pokémon will show great affection towards James, which usually results in pain for him since all of them either have sharp teeth or spines. It is also shown that James develops a strong bond with each of his Pokémon in general; James almost treats them as his own children, and they in turn are all greatly attached to him. This could stem from the childhood memories he occasionally brings up, where it is shown that while growing up James hadn't really had any friends other than his Pokémon. When it comes time to leave a Pokémon behind for one reason or another, James often has great difficulty in letting go of his beloved friends, as shown in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'' when he had to release [[James's Weezing|his Weezing]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
Both Jessie and James appear in {{game|Yellow}} as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the main character on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching their Boss.

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], where they appeared with a Weezing, an Arbok, and a Golbat. They are the main opponents in the "Spa Service" line clear challenge.

==In the manga==
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:James Electric Tale.jpg|thumb|left|James in the manga]]
James appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with his teammates [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}.

His first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. He, Jessie and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, he and Jessie attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, he uses a {{TP|James|Koffing}} in battle.
[[File:RocketShipping.png|thumb|right|[[Jessie]] and James as [[RocketShipping|a married couple]] in the manga]]
James's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. He and Jessie attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, James's {{p|Koffing}} has evolved into {{TP|James|Weezing}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of James's relationship with Jessie is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, he is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SugimoriJames.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG James theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|James}}.

It is rumored that James may also be on the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} set card {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Rocket's Secret Experiment|120}}, as there is a Rocket in the background, seen only from the back, who has his hairstyle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|250px|James and Jessie]]
* James is mostly a comedic parody of ''bishounen'' characters; the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub in particular tends to give him a melodramatic and even campy tone.
* James at times uses the name Jameson.
* James hasn't evolved any of his Pokémon since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.
* He is one of the only main characters to, after being given his first Pokémon, at one point not have any Pokémon on hand, if one doesn't count the events depicted in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. This was in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' during the brief moment after he released {{TP|James|Weezing}} and before he caught {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. The other characters were {{Ash}} briefly when he was traveling to [[Hoenn]] and [[Jessie]] at the beginning of Team Rocket's travels in [[Unova]].
* James is the only main character to have [[James's Victreebel|one Pokémon]] and release/give it away, then get [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|another Pokémon of the same species]].
* James was the first main character to release [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Gyarados|a Pokémon]].
* A running gag in the anime involves James's {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon hurting him in a show of affection.
* In the main series games, James and [[Jessie]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when Kanto is revisited, and (being exclusive to Pokémon Yellow) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a newswoman on Area 4 of Mt. Battle references James stating that she's looking for someone with the same Pokémon as she has. The Pokémon she uses are {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Chimecho}}.
*He shares both his Japanese and Brazilian voice actors with Ryusuke Yamino, from {{wp|The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Detective Loki}}.
* Excluding Victreebel (whose capture was not seen), James has never battled any of his Pokémon before catching them.

===Name origin===
James's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. His Japanese name, Kojirō, is taken from 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', a prominent Japanese swordsman most famous for being killed by his rival, 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', the namesake of Jessie. Also, 二郎 ''Jirō'' is a name meaning "second son," while 三郎 ''Saburō'' means "third son." Kojirō takes advantage of ''Jirō'', while the Japanese name of [[Butch]], Kosaburō, takes advantage of ''Saburō''.

'''James''' (Japanese: '''コジロウ''' ''Kojirō'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:James BW.png|left|thumb|150px|Art from episodes [[BW001]] - [[BW023]] in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
An only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society while growing up. Often having to take part in numerous lessons and activities he had little to no interest in, he eventually began to grow weary of the rules and standards that appeared to be ever-present within the upper-class. At a young age, he was engaged to a girl named [[Jessiebelle]]. It was revealed in ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]'' that he wanted to marry her at some point. But he changed his mind after he saw how controlling and overbearing she was. Unable to stand her, he ran away, leaving his lavish lifestyle as well as beloved pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], behind. He attempted to enroll in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, and flunked out; as did his new friend [[Jessie]]. Then, with Jessie, he joined the [[Sunny Town]] bicycle gang, where he was popular for being the only gang member to have to use training wheels (nicknamed "Trainer Jim"). Eventually James, Jessie, and the bike gang went their separate ways.

Due to conflicts in canon between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history.
[[File:James BW anime.png|thumb|James in the {{series|Best Wishes}} from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''|220px]]
Surprisingly, James has shown to be relatively well versed in various activities, including Pokémon Haiku, [[Pokémon Orienteering]], and [[PokéRinger]] among other things, making him almost something of a "Jack of all Trades". It is possible that he developed his skills during his temporary separation from Jessie, or even from the many lessons he was enrolled in as a child, but this is not known for sure.

[[File:Younger James.png|thumb|250px|Younger James and Growlie]]
Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle as a child, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, he'll seem very lost without his companions. James also appears to have the most conscience among the three, and is the least prone to backstabbing someone who is kind to him. He can actually be quite sinister when he wants to, however.

In the episode ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his home as a result of a trap by his parents, who pretended to be dead in order to get him to come back to the estate, knowing he would return to pay his respects. He suspected that it was a trap, but he ended up being forced into participating by Jessie and Meowth, who wanted the fortune. After the deception was revealed, he was once again subjected to Jessiebelle's torment until Growlie came to his rescue. After temporarily chasing Jessiebelle away, James soon left his family's manor and as a result declined his inheritance. Growlie stayed behind upon James's request when he returned to Jessie and Meowth.
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character, has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money.

James also has a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|tendency to cross-dress]], but has not done it since ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', with the exception of the occasional impersonation of characters such as [[Nurse Joy]]'s and [[Officer Jenny]]'s. In fact, ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' marks the first time he cross-dresses in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, though it was him disguised as [[Jessie|Jessalina]]. He also often dresses up like famous celebrities as well, such as {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Juan]], and [[Norman]], and impersonates other non-human objects, including Pokémon, animals, and even bushes and trees.

[[File:James Croagunk card.png|200px|thumb|right|One of James's Pokédex cards, detailing about [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]]]]
James loves rare bottle caps and has an impressive collection of them. This hobby started when he was a young child. In the episode ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' it is revealed that he has "drunk enough soda pop to float an aircraft carrier".

For unknown reasons, he, Jessie and Meowth mostly use [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|hot air balloons]] instead of faster ways of transportation. However in newer episodes the balloon is shown with 'jets' attached to explain how they get from one place to another faster than walking.

At times, instead of a [[Pokédex]], he uses a deck of cards to identify Pokémon, such as in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'' when he first learns of Croagunk's Poison Jab with it, or in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'' when he uses it to look up Hippopotas (explaining why he knows the Pokémon to be named "Hippopotas" and not "Hippopontas" as Jessie calls it). They appear to have the same entry as an electronic Pokédex, including a few basic parameters like height and weight, though it is unknown how many Pokémon they include (however, he seems to have used them mostly for Sinnoh Pokémon thus far).

Throughout most of the series, James and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always blundering their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. Recently, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in his work, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before and using ingenious methods of escape, such as a smoke curtain, and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Now wearing black uniforms instead of their previous white ones, Jessie and James, along with Meowth, followed various missions given to them by Giovanni through other people. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow their other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. Unknown to the two, Giovanni was not certain they would be successful; however, he sees that their presence in the region will force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves. In ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Jessie and James go back to their white uniforms.

===Pokémon===
As the standards of the Team Rocket organization dictated, James was first shown with a Poison-type Pokémon. However, James seems to have a fondness for carnivorous (or at least dangerous) {{type2|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, owning {{p|Weepinbell}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, and {{p|Carnivine}}. It was shown during a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' how James, as a boy, found {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]]. It was trapped in the mud and James rescued it, the two forming a bond of friendship. It is not shown how he {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} Weepinbell, but he had owned it for a long period of time before its first appearance. The capture of a {{p|Cacnea}} early in Hoenn furthered his apparent preference for Grass-types. Often, when going into battle, his Grass Pokémon will show great affection towards James, which usually results in pain for him since all of them either have sharp teeth or spines. It is also shown that James develops a strong bond with each of his Pokémon in general; James almost treats them as his own children, and they in turn are all greatly attached to him. This could stem from the childhood memories he occasionally brings up, where it is shown that while growing up James hadn't really had any friends other than his Pokémon. When it comes time to leave a Pokémon behind for one reason or another, James often has great difficulty in letting go of his beloved friends, as shown in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'' when he had to release [[James's Weezing|his Weezing]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
Both Jessie and James appear in {{game|Yellow}} as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the main character on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching their Boss.

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], where they appeared with a Weezing, an Arbok, and a Golbat. They are the main opponents in the "Spa Service" line clear challenge.

==In the manga==
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:James Electric Tale.jpg|thumb|left|James in the manga]]
James appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with his teammates [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}.

His first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. He, Jessie and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, he and Jessie attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, he uses a {{TP|James|Koffing}} in battle.
[[File:RocketShipping.png|thumb|right|[[Jessie]] and James as [[RocketShipping|a married couple]] in the manga]]
James's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. He and Jessie attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, James's {{p|Koffing}} has evolved into {{TP|James|Weezing}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of James's relationship with Jessie is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, he is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SugimoriJames.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG James theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|James}}.

It is rumored that James may also be on the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} set card {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Rocket's Secret Experiment|120}}, as there is a Rocket in the background, seen only from the back, who has his hairstyle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|250px|James and Jessie]]
* James is mostly a comedic parody of ''bishounen'' characters; the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub in particular tends to give him a melodramatic and even campy tone.
* James at times uses the name Jameson.
* James hasn't evolved any of his Pokémon since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.
* He is one of the only main characters to, after being given his first Pokémon, at one point not have any Pokémon on hand, if one doesn't count the events depicted in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. This was in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' during the brief moment after he released {{TP|James|Weezing}} and before he caught {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. The other characters were {{Ash}} briefly when he was traveling to [[Hoenn]] and [[Jessie]] at the beginning of Team Rocket's travels in [[Unova]].
* James is the only main character to have [[James's Victreebel|one Pokémon]] and release/give it away, then get [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|another Pokémon of the same species]].
* James was the first main character to release [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Gyarados|a Pokémon]].
* A running gag in the anime involves James's {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon hurting him in a show of affection.
* In the main series games, James and [[Jessie]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when Kanto is revisited, and (being exclusive to Pokémon Yellow) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a newswoman on Area 4 of Mt. Battle references James stating that she's looking for someone with the same Pokémon as she has. The Pokémon she uses are {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Chimecho}}.
*He shares both his Japanese and Brazilian voice actors with Ryusuke Yamino, from {{wp|The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Detective Loki}}.
* Excluding Victreebel (whose capture was not seen), James has never battled any of his Pokémon before catching them.

===Name origin===
James's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. His Japanese name, Kojirō, is taken from 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', a prominent Japanese swordsman most famous for being killed by his rival, 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', the namesake of Jessie. Also, 二郎 ''Jirō'' is a name meaning "second son," while 三郎 ''Saburō'' means "third son." Kojirō takes advantage of ''Jirō'', while the Japanese name of [[Butch]], Kosaburō, takes advantage of ''Saburō''.

Talk:James

2011-07-20T00:09:11Z

Djulienr: /* James being in a lower position than Jessie */

==Basis==
:He is based on a combination of the character of Leonardo Medici Bundle from the anime Sengoku Majin GoShogun and 弁天小僧菊之介 Sarasvati boy Kikunosuke from the kabuki 『白波五人男』 The Five Scoundrels of White Waves.

Please explain how this conclusion was reached. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:05, 14 October 2005 (CDT)

::Hmm, it doesn't really offer any evidence there either. Of course, Sonansu's model is easy enough to recognise, but... - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 00:45, 16 October 2005 (CDT)

Weezing, Victreebel, Cacnea, Chimecho, Mime Jr., Carnivine... half of his main Pokémon have been Plant-type. Is that enough to qualify him for the Plant-type trainer category? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
:I'd imagine so. As the seasons progressed, he diverged to more Grass-types while Jessie took mainly Poison-types. If she's a Poison trainer, he should be a Grass trainer. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

** The reason I added Jesse as a Poison-type trainer is because she specifically said she prefered Poison-type Pokemon in the Koga episode. Has James ever said anything to that effect regarding Grass-types?

:: Natane seemed to think he is a Grass-type trainer. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

==Inclusion==
Should we include {{MTR}}?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 16:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

No, since he isn't owned by the Team Rocket memebers and if you remember in one episode that it was Meowth's own choice to join. He wasnt captured by a member and forced to work for them.

Isn't James the only character besides Ash to have a Pokèmon in training? Why don't we include that? --[[User:CoreyLynch|CoreyLynch]] 14:53, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

==Important! (Regarding James' or James's)==
After reading a headline in Newsday, it is confirmed that you DO NOT need the s after in apostrophe for something belonging to James, for example.

To quote the headline "'''YANKS'''' BATS QUIETED BY BLUE JAYS"

We need to change all articles pertaining to James back to James_____--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 19:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
:That's because Yanks is the plural of Yank. If James were the plural of Jame, you'd be correct. But unless James is revealed to be some sort of alien composed of millions of tiny Jame beings (which would be totally awesome, by the way), it all stays as "James's."
:Besides, newspapers are just as capable of screwing up as the rest of us. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 19:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
::No, when it said '''Yanks'''' it was talking about more than one person. Plural nouns only get an apostrophe: the birds' nests (more than one bird with one nest each) and singular nouns get 's like: the bird's nests (one bird owning multiple nests). Learn the rules of grammar. ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 19:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

==Achievements==
In the article it says that James hasn't achieved much, but in the Chronicles episode Training Daze he and Jessie were promoted and got their white uniforms. Jessie and James are higher up than a regular Team Rocket member. Should this be mentioned? [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 23:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

==Hair==
I don't want to start an edit war. XD So i'm bringing it up here. His hair appears blue in the TCG artwork, but in the anime it's clearly periwinkle. I brought it up in photoshop, and it's directly between the blue and purple section of the color scale, leaning towards purple. There's been numerous debates on his hair color in the fandom, and no one can ever seem to come to a compromise. So i looked it up, asked various art teachers in my district, and they all said his hair doesn't fit into either category. So i looked up what color it is, and it's periwinkle. Even if he has been said to have blue hair by characters, they're simplifying it. So i think we should put it as periwinkle, seeing as if we put either "blue" or "purple" we'd be incorrect. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 06:33, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to know just when someone in the anime called it blue. It's clearly lavender. Not sure where CherryParanoia is getting periwinkle from, but that's incorrect as well. --[[User:Rocket Girl|Rocket Girl]] 06:42, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
:If we used Crayola color names in the character infoboxes there would be no end to the arguments that would be had. Blue may be simplifying it, but simple is good. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 06:53, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

::Just like to point out: <nowiki>http://i46.tinypic.com/14l3evd.jpg</nowiki> I just did that on photoshop with the image from the bulba page. First shows his hair being between blue and pink. Second showing where his hair comes up on the color scale (between purple and blue). Last showing Periwinkle. Which i now realize it blatantly isn't. It's more of a Blue-Violet. So i think we should put it as that. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 06:56, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
:::The Magikarp salesman once referred to him as "blue haired young man." in the anime. Technically, Misty's hair is orange, yet we still refer to it as red. Let's try not to be knit picky about it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 07:10, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
::::But its an issue commonly argued in the fandom (and orange hair is normally called Red IRL, so that makes sense). And was that dub-added about the hair? Can't trust dub added things. And even if it was in the japanese, they do not commonly use more in-depth words for color (as i learned in class). Really, to end the fighting (and make both sides happy) we should just put it as Blue-Violet. Because Blue will anger people (who commonly bug me to change the page) and Purple will bug people (like you) so lets compromise. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 07:17, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::C'mon, i was trying to be a good editter and make this work. =_= A compromise was what i think this needs, considering no one will ever agree on his hair color. Everyone i know in the #teamrocket room says his hair is lavender, but you people here say blue. So i was making a compromise instead of getting into an edit war. Can we talk it out and make it work? I already showed evidence it isn't blue, at least in the anime. So we need to find some sort of compromise so an edit war doesn't begin... --[[User:CherryParanoia|'''Cherry''']][[User talk:CherryParanoia|'''Paranoia''']] 21:07, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

::::::::Not to be mean or anything, but really. Because you're admin doesn't mean you're right. And i'm not saying either of us are right. Which is why i ask for a compromise on a subject thats ALWAYS argued. If we compromise here, then maybe everyone will stop arguing in chatrooms, in the forums. We need to take a neutral view in this page, not taking one side and saying "i'm right because i'm the admin." So we need to have a compromise on the matter. --[[User:CherryParanoia|'''Cherry''']][[User talk:CherryParanoia|'''Paranoia''']] 22:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::::Unless you're looking too much into it, his hair's blue. I don't care the exact hex code. His eyes are neon green, we just call them green. Ash's eyes are brown, not "rustic umber" or some bullcrap like that. Keep it simple. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::I know that, which is why i stopped my periwinkle arguement. XD And his hair is too light and washed out to know exactly what color, which is why i prompted for a compromised. The hex code says its purple, but it appears blue too, which is why i wanted a compromise. But i'm letting it go for now, just understand i'm only trying to stop any edit war that may happen. There's a bigger debate on the subject than i think you guys realize XD --[[User:CherryParanoia|'''Cherry''']][[User talk:CherryParanoia|'''Paranoia''']] 02:08, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::::Considering this hasn't been a problem on this site, and this does not seem to be a big "debate" on any of the popular forums, I think we will be fine.

Lavender is almost as dark as purple, and his hair is light. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 02:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
:::Really is it that hard for people to determine? First impressions, in my layman's opinion I have never thought of it as anything but blue until I saw this rant with people over-analyzing the whole thing. I feel that if I took a random cut (from the picture) of his hair and asked people its color, they would say blue with only the odd art student who could come up with crazy colors like "periwinkle" -- [[User:D558|D558]] 06:08, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
::::Just to inform you all. If you watch the episode Numero Uno Articuno you will get to know EXACTLY what color his hair is as he admits it himself. Meowth says "Don't worry your blue head" and James replies "Its not blue its Lavender" so this argument is worthless since its clearly been stated as to what his hair color is.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 17:17, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::Correct. He says his hair IS NOT blue but Lavender. I do have a question about that though. Was this only mentioned in the English dub, or in the Japanese dub as well - '''[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes]][[User talk:Vhayes1992|1992]]''' 18:26, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

==Disguises==
I noticed that on [[Jesse]] we have her in all sorts of interesting disguises, shouldn't we post some of James' too? I am not sure if he invented new names for his alter egos like she did. Most notable though is that shot from the censored TV episode where he has boobs, the controversy it created seems notable for listing it here. [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] 09:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:They're alter egos. Not disguises. Jessie gets them cause she participates in contests unlike James who does nothing.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 10:02, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Well, James did enter a contest disguised as jessie.....[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 17:47, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

== Picture ==

Is it okay to put anime artwork of James in the anime section instead of the screenshot from an episode. This is the picture I was thinking about.[[File:James Anime.png|right|thumb|125px|James]] - '''[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes]][[User talk:Vhayes1992|1992]] 14:52, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:A better idea, that picture should be in the infobox. James is an '''anime''' character after all. We don't see anime Brock with Sugimori work in his box. We can maybe move the Sugimori work to trivia. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

What is with James having a picture of him in a black suit? He has never worn a black suit except when in disguise? is there a place where this was discusses?[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 17:14, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
:it's his new outfit check the news... [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 17:17, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

== Uniform ==

Is his new uniform considered a grunt [[Team Rocket uniform#Grunt uniform|uniform]] without the hat? Does this mean that he was demoted or something? - '''[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes]][[User talk:Vhayes1992|1992]]''' 14:07, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
:I dout he has been demoted becsause the Boss dose not even consider them part of team rocket [[User:05308|Lanturn....05308]] 14:17, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
::Considering Giovanni has ordered them to take over Isshu for him, I highly doubt they have been demoted. Also, the outfits are slightly different from grunt uniforms. They are the same as their old outfits except that the white is now a dark gray and they have slightly darker gloves and boots (regular grunt uniforms are pure black). --[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 14:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

== Jame's Pokemon ==

It says James never fought before catching any of his Pokemon but in "heres looking at you elikid he goes into a flash back bout when he caught weepinbell. He used weezing to catch it. [[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 04:22, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia Change/Removal? ==

Just noticed this trivia: "He is one of the only main characters to, after being given his first Pokémon, at one point not have any Pokémon on hand, if one doesn't count the events depicted in So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd. This was in A Poached Ego! during the brief moment after he released Weezing and before he caught Cacnea. He currently has no Pokémon with him. The other character was Ash briefly when he was traveling to Hoenn."

Now, James currently has no pokemon, and despite the aforementioned Ash incident, Jessie was also without a pokemon. So, I'm thinking that this trivia should be changed to more of a "James is the only main character to, after being given his first Pokémon, not have any Pokémon on hand for more than X amount of episodes." Currently, it'd be 6. However, it just seems redundant for the trivia to remain the way it is, seeing as Jessie, Ash, AND James have been pokemon-less in the past now. [[User:Myzou|Myzou]] 23:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:Sounds good to me. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

== James being in a lower position than Jessie ==

Is Jessie in a higher Team Rocket position than James? She has more Pokémon than James and has been recognized more in every type of media especially in Unova where she caught one Pokémon and James caught zero so far. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:41, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
:I am moderately sure that Jessie, James, and Meowth are all Grunts, haven't caught myself up to the BW season though so I can't say for sure and if I recall correctly there were times when they weren't even Grunts as they had been kicked out a couple times. [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 02:57, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
::Nope. they all work together. At times James is more dominant and at other times Jessie is. Also just because she has a Pokemon in BW before James doesn't give her higher authority either. I am sure James will catch one in a couple of episodes from now. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:01, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

== James' Nummel ==
According to [[AG053]] James had owned or at least befriended about 6 Nummel when he was younger. There's even a picture shown... I just dont know how to upload the picture.

'''Come What May!''' (Japanese: '''VSチャーレム！コンテストバトル！！''' ''VS {{tt|Charem|Medicham}}! Contest Battle!!'') is the 51st episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 325th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 13, 2003 and in the United States on November 6, 2004.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}

The [[Fallarbor Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} has finally begun, and {{an|May}} is more determined than ever to win. With {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] cheer her on in the audience. [[Drew]] and his [[Drew's Roserade|Roselia]] make it through to the second round of the contest with a score of 29.6, {{ho|Grace}} and her {{p|Medicham}} make it through with a score of 29.5, and May and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} achieve a score of 25.9, barely beating another contestant to the second round by a tenth of a point. [[Jessie]] arrives disguised as Jessica, cheating to make her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} more beautiful by attaching a device to it that shot out colorful particles, and achieves the best score of 29.7.

The second round of the contest starts with May battling Jessie. Jessie sends out Dustox and tells it to use {{m|Tackle}} and then Rainbow, a move that {{MTR}} is operating backstage. May tells Beautifly to dodge it and use {{m|String Shot}}. Dustox then uses {{m|Whirlwind}} to send it back and hit Beautifly, making May lose points. Dustox then uses a {{m|Poison Sting}}, which May knocks back with {{m|Gust}}, making it lose points and damaging the rainbow device. Dustox then uses Tackle and May counters it with {{m|Silver Wind}}. Dustox loses even more points and damages the device even further. May congratulates Beautifly while Jessie is furious. Jessie then tells Dustox to use its strongest {{m|Psybeam}}, which fails when Meowth discovers the remote is broken. Beautifly uses Tackle, which sends Dustox flying back, losing all its points and destroying the device.

May wins the round. The device falls off Dustox and the whole audience sees that Jessie cheated. One of the judges stands up and attempts to disqualify her, at which point Jessie screams and throws a yellow Poké Ball which releases yellow dust. When the dust clears, [[Team Rocket]] is standing there, attempting to steal everyone's Pokémon. Ash jumps up and tells {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, sending Team Rocket flying.

As the second round continues, Grace and Drew battle. Grace sends out Medicham and Drew sends out Roselia. Drew starts off with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Grace uses {{m|Meditate}} to dodge. Then Medicham uses {{m|Ice Punch}}, which Roselia gracefully dodges. It then uses {{m|Petal Dance}}, which Medicham stops in midair with {{m|Confusion}} and sends back, causing Roselia to lose points. Drew then commands Roselia to use {{m|SolarBeam}}. Grace tells Medicham to use Ice
Punch on the ground, which builds a shield around Roselia, causing it to hit itself. Grace wins the battle.

The final battle is with May's Beautifly against Grace's Medicham. May starts with Tackle, which Medicham dodges with Meditate. Beautifly then uses Gust, but just before it falls to the ground, Medicham uses Confusion to levitate, limiting the number of points lost. Beautifly then uses String Shot which Medicham sends back with another confusion, damaging and tangling up Beautifly. Medicham then uses Ice Punch, encasing Beautifly in ice. As Beautifly breaks free, Medicham uses {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Beautifly dodges and uses Silver Wind, hitting Medicham and causing it to hurt its knee, losing major points. Beautifly uses a Tackle and String Shot combo, and Medicham uses Confusion to stop it. Still spinning, Beautifly uses Silver Wind and encases Medicham in string. Beautifly then uses Tackle, entwining Medicham with the String Shot. May uses Tackle as Medicham breaks out of the string and dodges. Beautifly then uses Silver Wind and traps Medicham's hands, immobilizing it. Then Beautifly uses a Tackle and Silver Wind combo to inflict major damage on Medicham. Medicham then tries to turn it around with Hi Jump Kick, which May tells Beautifly to counter with Tackle. The two approach each other head-on and collide just as time runs out. May is declared the winner of the Fallarbor Pokémon Contest.

'''Pros and Con Artists''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト・ハジツゲ大会！！''' ''Pokémon Contest! {{tt|Hajitsuge|Fallarbor}} Convention!'') is the 50th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 324th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on November 6, 2003 and in the United States on October 30, 2004.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} have made it to [[Fallarbor Town]], where {{an|May}} will participate in her second Pokémon Contest. May is far more confident than last time that she and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} will win.

As they enter the contest building, Brock finds himself surrounded by beautiful Pokémon Coordinators and May becomes nervous about all the competition. They take particular interest in a {{p|Medicham}} which is practicing its {{m|Meditate}}. Suddenly various objects around the room begin to float, including [[Max]]'s glasses and even {{AP|Pikachu}}. Medicham's trainer, [[Grace (Hoenn)|Grace]], tells it to stop and apologizes for its burst of psychic energy. Everything falls back to the ground and {{an|Brock}} immediately falls in love with Grace, though Max quickly pulls him away as usual.

{{an|May}} apologizes for Brock, saying that he does that with every beautiful girl, and Grace begins laughing hysterically in embarrassment, accidentally shoving May over.

The group and Grace have dinner, where it is revealed that Grace already has three {{DL|Ribbon|Contest Ribbons}}. May gets nervous again, but Grace tries to cheer her up by saying that the coordinator with the most experience won't necessarily win, it can just as easily come down to who they're facing and luck, but a coordinator will never be able to win until they learn how to use their Pokémon's power completely. Unfortunately May still feels nervous, so Grace offers to show May some of Medicham's moves.

Outside, [[Grace (Hoenn)|Grace]] summons her {{p|Medicham}}, and shows off its {{m|Ice Punch}}, then combines it with {{m|Psychic}}. May hadn't even considered combining moves before, so she later tries it with her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, having it use {{m|Silver Wind}}, then {{m|Tackle}}. Unfortunately May can't make up her mind and quickly tells it to use {{m|Gust}} instead, then changes again to {{m|String Shot}}. All of this just ends with Beautifly getting tangled in its own String Shot.

{{an|May}}'s rival [[Drew]] shows up in time to witness this, and comments on May's indecisiveness. Drew then asks how many ribbons May has won, knowing that the answer is zero. May fires back with the same question, but it backfires on her as Drew reveals that he has won three Contest Ribbons.

Elsewhere, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are trying another con by convincing a passerby that they have a secret product which will make it so that he would be able to win tons of ribbons. The man is convinced and can't wait to buy what they have. Meowth has him swear to secrecy, and Meowth reveals what he claims is secret information that the Contest Judges don't want people to know. Jessie and James arrive disguised as satisfied customers to help sell the con. Meowth then tries to sell the man silver and gold colored [[Pokéblock|Pokéblocks]], saying that the gold blocks raise a Pokémon's "coolness", while the silver blocks raise their "charismatic-tism". Using {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, [[Team Rocket trio|the trio]] convince the man that they really work, when in reality they are just regular Pokéblocks that have been painted.

Back inside the Contest building, {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] find Drew, who thinks that the three are afraid because they're not entering the contest. Ash says they're not, so Drew challenges them to a Pokémon battle to prove it. Ash uses {{AP|Taillow}} and has it use {{m|Quick Attack}} against Drew's {{TP|Drew|Roselia}}. Roselia counters with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Taillow dodges. Roselia tries again with {{m|Petal Dance}}, and Taillow dodges again. Taillow uses {{m|Peck}}, but Roselia defends with {{m|Stun Spore}}, finally managing to hit Taillow. Roselia ends the match with a well-aimed {{m|SolarBeam}}. May is in disbelief that Ash lost the match, and continues to get discouraged about the upcoming contest.

[[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]'s con continues to thrive, and May thinks that if she buys one of their Pokéblocks, she won't have to worry about Beautifly winning. However, Grace arrives and is immediately suspicious. The trio isn't able to answer Grace's question about what [[Berry|berries]] are in the Pokéblocks, so Grace blows their con and tells everyone that real coordinators shouldn't really on miracle products and should be mixing their own Pokéblocks anyway. May realizes she's right, and falls to her knees in despair.

Grace has her Medicham use {{m|Psychic}} to further reveal Team Rocket's scam, and the try to take off in their balloon. As they leave, they steal May's {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, Grace's Medicham, a {{p|Teddiursa}}, a {{p|Marill}}, and a {{p|Wigglytuff}}. Medicham uses Psychic to free the five Pokémon, then Beautifly uses {{m|String Shot}} to stop their balloon from leaving. James has his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} use {{m|Pin Missile}} to break the string, and Jessie has {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} use {{m|Poison Tail}}, but Medicham stops it with its {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Beautifly dodges Cacnea's Pin Missile and hits it with {{m|Tackle}}, while Medicham blasts Team Rocket off with an {{m|Ice Punch}}.

With May's morale boosted from the battle, she enters her second Pokémon Contest ready to win!

* The English dub is based on the phrases "pros and cons" and "con artists"
* The gold and silver-colored Pokéblocks are references to the {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.
* This was the most recent episode until ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' where James crossdressed, a span of over six years.
* This is one of the few episodes that {{TP|James|Cacnea}} does not hug [[James]] straight after coming out of its Poké Ball.
=== Errors ===
* In the English dub, Drew stated "In a Pokémon Contest, you have to be on the same wavelength as your Pokémon..." In May's flashback of what Drew said, it was instead, "In battles, you have to be on the same wavelength as your Pokémon..."
* Taillow avoids Roselia's {{m|Magical Leaf}} despite the move having zero chances of missing.

=== Dub edits ===
=== Pokémon Trainer's Choice ===
* Question: Trainers, which of these is the best to battle {{p|Magneton}}?
* Choices: {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Lanturn}}, {{p|Geodude}}
* Answer: OK, if you answered {{p|Geodude}}, you were right!

The item returned in ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask}}'' where wearing it in certain areas would lead to ''{{zw|Keaton}}'' himself appearing, though this version of the character was revealed to be a {{wp|kitsune}}.

* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* ''{{wp|Homestar Runner}}'' has made [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Pikachu a number of references to the series], usually playing on Pikachu's similar appearance to the character of The Cheat. In particular, Pikachu appears on screen during "[http://www.homestarrunner.com/cheatvideo.html The Cheat Theme Song]," when the lyrics are "Who's the man that looks like The Cheat?"
* Parts of the insert song in [http://filmcow.com/charlietheunicorn3.html part three] of the popular flash cartoon series ''{{wp|Charlie the Unicorn}}'' bear resemblance to the original [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]].
* In the book ''Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon'', Pikachu is one of the many "people" seen watching an interview. It is later assumed that the same Pikachu was one of the two thousand "people" to buy Babymouse's cupcakes, as referenced by the narrator asking Babymouse how she was going to get her cupcakes to Japan.
* In {{wp|Neil Gaiman}}'s novella ''{{wp|Coraline}},'' the illustration on page 88 shows a Pikachu head among several other toys.
* On an episode of ''{{wp|Winter Wipeout}}'', John Henson said that Mika was {{wp|Jigglypuff}}'d about the height of the hurdles.
* In the ''{{wp|Love Hina}}'' manga, the main character, {{wp|Keitaro Urashima}}, can be seen with a {{p|Pikachu}} photo sticker while he checks his photo album filled with pictures of himself.
* In {{wp|The Lonely Island}} song, ''Japan'', they mention Pokémon.
* In 2005, {{wp|Bow Wow (rapper)}} released a song called B.O.W. In it he mentioned Pokémon.

'''Hook, Line, and Stinker''' (Japanese: '''アズマオウ！フィッシングバトル！！''' ''{{tt|Azumao|Seaking}}! Fishing Battle!!'') is the 168th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 12, 2000 and in the United States on September 29, 2001.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} have stopped to rest at a mountain stream. All of the Pokémon are in the water, having a good time. Brock is brushing {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}'s tail. The scene shifts to Misty talking to {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} about how good the water feels. {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} drifts by on its back, and Misty tells it not to drift too far. Poliwhirl waves OK, but all of a sudden a huge {{p|Poliwrath}} comes up behind Poliwhirl. Misty comments on how tough it looks, and Brock says that it doesn't look too friendly. The Poliwrath smacks down Poliwhirl and then uppercuts it through the air. Poliwhirl lands by the bank, K.O'd. Misty comments on how it's nothing but a big bully. All of a sudden, a [[Andreas|boy]] appears out of nowhere and insults her Poliwhirl. Misty asks him if the Poliwrath is his, and why it attacked her Poliwhirl. The boy answers that he thought it was a wimp. Misty tells him to take it back, but the boy questions her by saying that Poliwhirl is so scared that it's hiding behind Misty. He finishes by saying that he can't expect much from a "plain old Poliwhirl" and says that if it was any good, it would have evolved. Brock defends Poliwhirl by saying that there are lots of great Pokémon that aren't fully evolved, and that Poliwhirl is a great Pokémon. The boy starts making fun of all of Misty's Pokémon, and Misty loses it and challenges him to a battle. The boy says that he'd love to, but already has other plans. He recalls Poliwrath and leaves, but not without telling Misty to work on her Poliwhirl.

After this, the gang starts walking down a trail. They eventually come across a large mass of people with fishing rods walking in the same direction. Ash asks a boy if there is a good fishing spot nearby and the boy responds that there is an annual {{p|Seaking}} [[Seaking Catching Day|Catching Competition]].

At the site of the actual event, a man onstage starts to explain the rules of the competition. Competitors are allowed to use any rod, reel, or lure they wish and can catch as many Seaking as they want in the allotted time. However, they are only allowed to enter one Seaking that was caught in the provided {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|Lake Ball}}. The Seaking will then be weighed, and the heaviest one will win a huge trophy and a year's supply of chocolate bars. Competitors are only allowed to use one Pokémon to aid them in catching the Seaking, and it must be registered. Ash comments how it is similar to the [[Azalea Town]] [[Bug-Catching Contest]], and decides to use Pikachu.

The boy who insulted Misty's Poliwhirl is also entering the contest, and sends out his Poliwrath. He tells the check-in person that his name is Andreas. The entire crowd starts whispering to each other about how he amazing he is and that he has won every contest that he has entered. They also say that no one can beat him. Andreas says that the crowd must know a winner when they see one, which angers Misty. She says that she is going to beat him at his own game. Brock tells her that Andreas is a tough opponent, and Misty says that she's been fishing with her sisters ever since she was a baby and that her {{type2|Water}} Pokémon are perfect for the competition.

At the registration desk, Misty registers with Poliwhirl and Ash with Pikachu. Brock begins to flirt with the registration lady, but Misty quickly drags Brock away. At the docks, all the competitors are in their boats and waiting to begin. Brock asks Ash and Misty if they're all ready. They respond yes as Andreas pulls up. He insults Misty and her Poliwhirl again. Misty says that Poliwhirl isn't weak just because it isn't a bully like him. Andreas laughs at her and says that he'd love to talk, but he has a competition to win. He then drives off.

The horn blows and the competition has begun. Ash and Misty both cast out. Misty tells Poliwhirl that it'll probably take a while. She then hears Andreas yell that he already has a bite, to Misty's dismay. He pulls the Seaking out of the water and has Poliwrath use {{m|DoubleSlap}} on it. Andreas then catches it with his Lake Ball. Brock says that Andreas must have a lot of experience, but Misty says that he just got lucky. Andreas then releases the Seaking that he just caught, much to Ash and Misty's surprise. He tells them that that one was just a warm-up, and the next one they catch will be really big. This angers Misty even more.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is in a boat. {{MTR}} says that if they win the contest then they will get a year's supply of chocolate bars. James says that they haven't eaten in so long that he'd settle for licking the wrappers. Jessie shows them her new lure, saying that no Seaking can resist it. After some time, Meowth yawns and complains that they've been sitting there for an hour and maybe her lure is scaring off all the Seaking. Jessie gets angry and says that the Seaking obviously don't appreciate her beauty. Jessie then says that if Seaking won't go for a beautiful lure, then they'll go for an ugly lure; a Meowth lure. Meowth says that he didn't know she has a Meowth lure and asks to see it. She pops a breather in his mouth, ties him to a rock, and throws him in, telling him to use {{m|Scratch}} when he sees a Seaking. Underwater, Meowth complains that he doesn’t like it and that he can't see any Seaking. One swims past him and he yells at it to come back, but it ignores him. Suddenly, Misty's line wraps around Meowth's arm and pulls him up. Jessie pulls back, turning it into a tug of war match with Meowth in the middle. Underwater, the rock tied to Meowth gets stuck to the bottom, immobilizing him. As if that wasn't bad enough, he then loses his breather. The two boats are being dragged towards each other, and finally they collide.

Back underwater, Meowth is drowning. He uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} to free himself and swims to the surface. Team Rocket drives away and Misty sees that her line is broken. Andreas drives by and mocks her on her performance. He tells her that she could take home first prize in a fishing rod catching competition, angering Misty yet again. Meanwhile, Meowth gets back on Team Rocket's boat, saying that that was a bad idea.

Misty observes that the wind has changed direction. She explains that it also changes where the Seaking will swim, and that they'd better change their position. Brock moves the boat further north because that's where all the Seaking will be. Andreas speeds towards the same place.

Misty says that if Andreas gets there first, then he'll catch the biggest Seaking. She then takes over the boat from Brock, speeding it up. She and Andreas start racing. They get into a bumping fight and are speeding towards unsuspecting Team Rocket. Brock tells Misty to turn and try avoiding their boat, but Andreas uses it as a ramp and flies right over them. The wave he makes when landing flips them over.

The gang arrives at a giant rock. Misty says that it looks like a perfect spot for fishing, but Andreas is already there. Ash gets a bite and pulls up a big Seaking. He commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on it, and catches it in a Lake Ball. Misty and Brock compliment him on his capture.

Andreas then gets a bite as well. He has Poliwrath get ready and then pulls it out. Poliwrath uses {{m|Mega Punch}} on Seaking, followed by DoubleSlap. Seaking flies out of the water and Andreas catches it, bragging that it is a guaranteed winner. The loudspeakers come on and the voice says that only ten minutes are left in the competition. As Andreas is driving away, he says that if Misty wants a chance at second place then she better hurry. Misty announces that it's time to use her secret weapon, which is [[Misty's special lure]], version 4. She throws out her lure and waits intently, and a giant Seaking bites it. It almost pulls her in, but she manages to pull it out of the water. She sends out Poliwhirl, but it gets slapped by Seaking's tail. Poliwhirl flies back and bounces off the boat. Poliwhirl bounces back and DoubleSlaps the Seaking. Misty catches it in her Lake Ball, as the buzzer rings, announcing the end of the contest. Team Rocket, having not caught a Seaking, walk away with only a commemorative badge. The announcer weighs Andreas's Seaking, which weighs 55 kilograms, and Andreas brags that he's number one once more. Suddenly, Misty arrives, yelling for the judge to wait. They weigh her Seaking, which turns out to weigh the same as Andreas's, meaning that the two of them must face off in [[Pokémon battle]] to determine the winner. Misty sends out Poliwhirl while Andreas sends out Poliwrath. Brock comments that the odds are against Misty. Just as the battle begins, Team Rocket descend from the sky in their balloon. Jessie sends Meowth out on a fishing pole, and he starts bagging all the chocolate. Misty commands Poliwhirl to attack it with {{m|Water Gun}} and Andreas commands Poliwrath to do the same, causing Meowth to drop the bag. Ash sends out {{TP|Ash|Bulbasaur}} and has it use {{m|Vine Whip}} to catch the falling chocolate. With the chocolate safe, Ash has Pikachu give them a Thunderbolt, sending them blasting off again.

The battle resumes, and Andreas has his Poliwrath use {{m|Submission}}, which sends Poliwhirl flying. Brock explains to Ash that after a Poliwhirl evolves, it can use {{type2|Fighting}} moves. Andreas says that he's won, but Poliwhirl gets back up and hides behind Misty's leg. Misty says that she knows it's doing its best but wishes that it had more confidence in itself. {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{tp|Misty|Goldeen}} pop out of their Poké Balls, and Misty tells Poliwhirl that there are lots of great unevolved Pokémon, and that it's one too. Poliwhirl is pumped up and ready to get back in the battle. Andreas says that it's no use, but Misty has Poliwhirl use {{m|Bubble}} and then follow up with Mega Punch. Poliwrath falls, but Andreas has it use Mega Punch as well. Poliwhirl dodges it and uses Bubble again, followed by a Water Gun that KO's Poliwrath. Misty and Poliwhirl are dancing, and she tells it she knew it wasn't a wimp. Andreas pulls Poliwrath out of the water and congratulates Misty on a job well done. He then apologizes for the things he said, and Misty accepts his apology.

At the end of the episode, Misty is sending her chocolate bars out. She gives some to her [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]], [[Brock's siblings|Brock's family]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, and {{Delia|Ash's mom}}, while keeping a few for her and Togepi, causing Ash to complain that he didn't get any.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lake Ball.png|The Seaking Catching Competition announcer holding a Lake Ball|thumb]]
* Like the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] uses special [[Poké Ball]]s called {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|Lake Balls}} for catching {{p|Seaking}}.
* Ash mentions two [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real-world animals]] in this episode: bass and catfish.
* This episode's title is a pun derived from "hook line and sinker," an expression which refers to the three components of {{wp|Fishing tackle#hook, line and sinker|fishing tackle}}.
* Andreas says that if Misty's Poliwhirl were strong it would've evolved by now. But both of Poliwhirl's evolutions are item-induced. Therefore, Poliwhirl's strength has nothing to do with evolving.

===Errors===
* While Misty is pulling Brock by the ear, Togepi is in his arms; however, it was not there before.
* After the Pokémon battle, Misty calls her Poliwhirl a {{p|Poliwrath}}.

'''Forest Grumps''' (Japanese: '''リングマでドッキリ！！''' ''{{tt|Ringuma|Ursaring}} in Shock!'') is the 155th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 6, 2000 and in the United States on June 2, 2001.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
On the road to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} decide to take a break at a nearby lake and relax with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. As all the Pokémon are relaxing, they notice something shiny fly through the air. After a few seconds it becomes clear it is a net which opens up and traps all the Pokémon. [[Team Rocket]] make an appearance and announce they have got all their Pokémon and began to fly away. Far away, something attacks Team Rocket's balloon with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. All the Pokémon are freed when a bunch of {{p|Ursaring}} appear. Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them all and begin to charge at them. Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} recall their Pokémon and run for their lives; Team Rocket following them. They all run into a forest where the Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them.

After they escape the Ursaring, they realize they have all been split up. [[Jessie]] is with Brock, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Ash instead of Misty and {{MTR}} and [[James]] are with Misty instead of Jessie. Jessie decides to have a Pokémon battle with Ash when a bunch of Ursaring show up again. They abandon their battle and run. Meanwhile, Misty challenges James to a battle when Ursaring also show up and they run. A truce is made between Jessie, Brock and Ash. Ash finds out some information on Ursaring using his [[Pokédex]]. Also, Misty, James and Meowth agree to work together.

Ash and Brock call for Misty as Jessie thinks about James and Meowth and wander of they are looking for her.
James and Meowth aren't worried about Jessie as they think she is tough. When they reach a crossroads, Misty, James and Meowth suggest going this way but they all point into different directions. When they realize, they play odd finger wins which Meowth wins so they go straight ahead.

Night falls and Ash, Brock and Jessie decide to stop looking as it is too dark to look for Misty. Brock cooks food and Jessie tries it to be surprised it tastes good. She feels upset when she thinks she doesn't normally have such tasty food but doesn't want to tell Ash and Brock so she lies. Misty, James and Meowth are walking. Misty says they should have gone right at the crossroads and James decides to have a break as he is hungry. Splitting a biscuit in half, James and Meowth eat half each while Misty has a sandwich. Noticing James and Meowth drooling, Misty splits her sandwich so they can have some. Misty and James follow Meowth to find a place to camp. In a cliff is a cave which Meowth decides they should sleep in but Misty isn't so sure about it. They are chased out by Ursaring. Ash, Brock and Jessie find a cave to sleep in. Jessie thinks about where she sleeps with James and Meowth. Brock hands a blanket to Jessie to keep her warm and she begins reminisces about her dreams before she joined Team Rocket, while James and Meowth find that they've merely swapped one bossy red head for another one. Misty, James and Meowth play odd finger wins again and Meowth wins again. James has a plan to climb down a cliff into a dark hole in the ground and assures Misty there is nothing to worry about. Meowth decides they should go back and pulls on the rope which lands on his face. Drawing a line in the stone, Misty tells them they can't cross it. Misty has more room on the rock than James and Meowth. James and Meowth plot to steal Misty's Pokémon but don't know how to get away. With Ash and Brock sleeping, Jessie decides to take Pikachu but she bumps into an Ursaring so she runs back screaming.

The next morning, Ash and Brock are trying to find Misty. Jessie complains about not getting Pikachu or any sleep.
When Misty, James and Meowth are awake, they realize they are only a few feet from the ground below them where Meowth lets slip they were going to take Misty's Pokémon. Again, they play odd finger wins where Meowth wins again. Confronted by another Ursaring, Ash, Brock and Jessie try to battle it. Ash sends out {{p|Cyndaquil}} and Brock sends out {{p|Onix}}. Onix uses {{m|Tackle}} which gets the Ursaring mad. Cyndaquil uses {{m|Flamethrower}}. Jessie thinks she, James and Meowth are pathetic. Ursaring fights against the Flamethrower and hits its chest. More Ursaring appear so Ash and Brock recall their Pokémon. An Ursaring springs up on Misty, James and Meowth. They decide to run away.

Both groups are running away from Ursaring. They find each other and run across a wooden bridge. The bridge breaks in a couple of places. An Ursaring cuts the rope so the bridge falls, still with them on it; everyone holding onto to someone with Ash gripping to the wooden planks, holding everyone up. Chikorita and {{p|Bulbasaur}} are called out along with James' {{p|Victreebel}} which bites James' head. Onix and {{p|Arbok}} also help. Chikorita, Bulbasaur and Victreebel use {{m|Vine Whip}} to pull up the ropes. Onix and Arbok pull the ropes up with their tails. Just as they are all about to be safe, the rope snaps, sending everyone down below until Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Victreebel, Onix and Arbok save them. Everyone is safe and they celebrate for each other.

The truces are over and they plan to battle. {{p|Psyduck}} is on the wrong side until Misty yells at it. Onix uses Tackle on Arbok. Victreebel uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} as does Chikorita. {{p|Togepi}} is moving its hands from side to side. Meowth uses {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} to stop Meowth. Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} which causes Team Rocket to blast off.

Afterwards, Ash notices a sign that explained why the Ursaring attacked everywhere they saw one. It read, "WARNING! It is currently the Ursaring mating season and they are using this area as their breeding grounds. Do not disturb them if it's the last thing you do, cuz if you do, it just may be."

Team Rocket land where Jessie tells James and Meowth she is unhappy because of them and Meowth says to James they knew they were unhappy because of her a long time ago. Ursaring surround them.

Along the way Jessie and Misty got a first hand look at how their rival team operates. Jessie was impressed by the kindness the "[[twerps]]" showed her while Misty saw Team Rocket were very poor and couldn't afford to eat.

== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
On the road to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} decide to take a break at a nearby lake and relax with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. As all the Pokémon are relaxing, they notice something shiny fly through the air. After a few seconds it becomes clear it is a net which opens up and traps all the Pokémon. [[Team Rocket]] make an appearance and announce they have got all their Pokémon and began to fly away. Far away, something attacks Team Rocket's balloon with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. All the Pokémon are freed when a bunch of {{p|Ursaring}} appear. Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them all and begin to charge at them. Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} recall their Pokémon and run for their lives; Team Rocket following them. They all run into a forest where the Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them.

After they escape the Ursaring, they realize they have all been split up. [[Jessie]] is with Brock, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Ash instead of Misty and {{MTR}} and [[James]] are with Misty instead of Jessie. Jessie decides to have a Pokémon battle with Ash when a bunch of Ursaring show up again. They abandon their battle and run. Meanwhile, Misty challenges James to a battle when Ursaring also show up and they run. A truce is made between Jessie, Brock and Ash. Ash finds out some information on Ursaring using his [[Pokédex]]. Also, Misty, James and Meowth agree to work together.

Ash and Brock call for Misty as Jessie thinks about James and Meowth and wander of they are looking for her.
James and Meowth aren't worried about Jessie as they think she is tough. When they reach a crossroads, Misty, James and Meowth suggest going this way but they all point into different directions. When they realize, they play odd finger wins which Meowth wins so they go straight ahead.

Night falls and Ash, Brock and Jessie decide to stop looking as it is too dark to look for Misty. Brock cooks food and Jessie tries it to be surprised it tastes good. She feels upset when she thinks she doesn't normally have such tasty food but doesn't want to tell Ash and Brock so she lies. Misty, James and Meowth are walking. Misty says they should have gone right at the crossroads and James decides to have a break as he is hungry. Splitting a biscuit in half, James and Meowth eat half each while Misty has a sandwich. Noticing James and Meowth drooling, Misty splits her sandwich so they can have some. Misty and James follow Meowth to find a place to camp. In a cliff is a cave which Meowth decides they should sleep in but Misty isn't so sure about it. They are chased out by Ursaring. Ash, Brock and Jessie find a cave to sleep in. Jessie thinks about where she sleeps with James and Meowth. Brock hands a blanket to Jessie to keep her warm and she begins reminisces about her dreams before she joined Team Rocket, while James and Meowth find that they've merely swapped one bossy red head for another one. Misty, James and Meowth play odd finger wins again and Meowth wins again. James has a plan to climb down a cliff into a dark hole in the ground and assures Misty there is nothing to worry about. Meowth decides they should go back and pulls on the rope which lands on his face. Drawing a line in the stone, Misty tells them they can't cross it. Misty has more room on the rock than James and Meowth. James and Meowth plot to steal Misty's Pokémon but don't know how to get away. With Ash and Brock sleeping, Jessie decides to take Pikachu but she bumps into an Ursaring so she runs back screaming.

The next morning, Ash and Brock are trying to find Misty. Jessie complains about not getting Pikachu or any sleep.
When Misty, James and Meowth are awake, they realize they are only a few feet from the ground below them where Meowth lets slip they were going to take Misty's Pokémon. Again, they play odd finger wins where Meowth wins again. Confronted by another Ursaring, Ash, Brock and Jessie try to battle it. Ash sends out {{p|Cyndaquil}} and Brock sends out {{p|Onix}}. Onix uses {{m|Tackle}} which gets the Ursaring mad. Cyndaquil uses {{m|Flamethrower}}. Jessie thinks she, James and Meowth are pathetic. Ursaring fights against the Flamethrower and hits its chest. More Ursaring appear so Ash and Brock recall their Pokémon. An Ursaring springs up on Misty, James and Meowth. They decide to run away.

Both groups are running away from Ursaring. They find each other and run across a wooden bridge. The bridge breaks in a couple of places. An Ursaring cuts the rope so the bridge falls, still with them on it; everyone holding onto to someone with Ash gripping to the wooden planks, holding everyone up. Chikorita and {{p|Bulbasaur}} are called out along with James' {{p|Victreebel}} which bites James' head. Onix and {{p|Arbok}} also help. Chikorita, Bulbasaur and Victreebel use {{m|Vine Whip}} to pull up the ropes. Onix and Arbok pull the ropes up with their tails. Just as they are all about to be safe, the rope snaps, sending everyone down below until Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Victreebel, Onix and Arbok save them. Everyone is safe and they celebrate for each other.

The truces are over and they plan to battle. {{p|Psyduck}} is on the wrong side until Misty yells at it. Onix uses Tackle on Arbok. Victreebel uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} as does Chikorita. {{p|Togepi}} is moving its hands from side to side. Meowth uses {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} to stop Meowth. Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} which causes Team Rocket to blast off.

Afterwards, Ash notices a sign that explained why the Ursaring attacked everywhere they saw one. It read, "WARNING! It is currently the Ursaring mating season and they are using this area as their breeding grounds. Do not disturb them if it's the last thing you do, cuz if you do, it just may be."

Team Rocket land where Jessie tells James and Meowth she is unhappy because of them and Meowth says to James they knew they were unhappy because of her a long time ago. Ursaring surround them.

Along the way Jessie and Misty got a first hand look at how their rival team operates. Jessie was impressed by the kindness the "[[twerps]]" showed her while Misty saw Team Rocket were very poor and couldn't afford to eat.

Afterwards, Ash notices a sign that explained why the Ursaring attacked everywhere they saw one. It read, "WARNING! It is currently the Ursaring mating season and they are using this area as their breeding grounds. Do not disturb them if it's the last thing you do, cuz if you do, it just may be."

Team Rocket land where Jessie tells James and Meowth she is unhappy because of them and Meowth says to James they knew they were unhappy because of her a long time ago. Ursaring surround them.

Along the way Jessie and Misty got a first hand look at how their rival team operates. Jessie was impressed by the kindness the "[[twerps]]" showed her while Misty saw Team Rocket were very poor and couldn't afford to eat.

* When Ash and Brock are shouting for Misty, Pikachu's mouth moves but its voice cannot be heard.
* When James lets [[James' Victrebell|Victrebell]] out he attacks James like usual, and you can see James kicking his feet, but at the time Misty was holding onto his feet.

=== Dub edits ===
*Originally, Misty, James, and Meowth played "rock, paper, scissors". [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] changes this to "odd finger".

'''The Totodile Duel''' (Japanese: '''ワニノコはだれのもの！？サトシＶＳカスミ！''' ''Whose is the {{tt|Waninoko|Totodile}}!? {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} VS {{tt|Kasumi|Misty}}!'') is the 151st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 8, 2000 and in the United States on May 5, 2001.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} sitting by a calm river in [[Johto]], fishing in the hopes of finding some Pokémon. Ash, however, is bored at this, and thus gets into an argument with Misty. Suddenly, Misty gets something on her line, and begins to reel it in. It fights hard, but she finally whips... a tea kettle from the water. Angered at this, Misty decides to use her secret weapon: her {{TP|Misty|special lure}}. Misty tells of the reason she trains {{type2|Water}}s, that she grew up around them and so wants to train as many as she can. Suddenly a {{p|Totodile}} reveals itself to them, dancing on a rock in the stream. Ash scans it with his [[Pokédex]].

After learning about the species, Misty declares that she intends to catch it, while Ash does the same. Before Ash can throw his Poké Ball, however, Misty tosses her lure at Totodile, who chomps down on it. Ash complains that it's not fair, and Totodile spits the lure out. Ash uses this as an opportunity to have {{AP|Pikachu}} attack it, using {{m|ThunderShock}}. Now stunned, Ash throws a [[Poké Ball]]. Misty and Ash begin to argue again, but the Poké Ball does not hold, and Totodile pops out of it on their side of the riverbank. Ash complains and tells Pikachu to use ThunderShock again, but Misty interrupts, throwing her own Poké Ball. This time, Totodile dodges it completely and uses {{m|Water Gun}} to blast the Poké Ball and the three Trainers into the grass. The three climb out, and Totodile is gone. Ash and Misty decide to both go looking for it. Misty tells Brock to watch {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, but Brock insists that he should come along since they'll need a referee.

Meanwhile, Totodile is hungry, and notices [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{TRM}} having a snack of [[rice balls]]. Meowth, however, complains that {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}} will still be mad at them about their constant failures, and the other two attempt to cheer him up. Jessie offers a rice ball, but Totodile chomps on her hand. Meowth and James express that Giovanni would enjoy it, and Jessie manages to get Totodile off her arm. Totodile then goes on to eat the rest of Team Rocket's rice balls, and when they attempt to stop it, blasts them off with Water Gun.

Ash and Misty then finally locate Totodile, and both prepare to catch it, Misty deciding to use a [[Lure Ball]] because of its better chance of capturing Water-types, and Ash agreeing that it'd be a good idea to use his as well. The two throw the balls at the same time, and Totodile jumps into them, being hit by both at the same time. It and the two balls fall behind a bush and it is captured, unseen by anyone, this time successfully. Due to the fact that both of them used a Lure Ball, no one can tell who threw it.

Ash and Misty begin arguing again, and Brock stops them, saying there's only one way to decide whose Totodile it is: a [[Pokémon battle]]. The match is decided as being three vs three, and deciding he'll prove that he would have won their [[EP007|last battle]] had [[Team Rocket]] not interfered, decides to use Pikachu against Misty's Water-type team. Misty has another secret weapon up her sleeve, however: her only non-Water-type Pokémon: {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}!

Pikachu is reluctant to battle its friend, however, and after a {{m|Charm}} attack from Togepi, runs from battle. Brock rules this to be a win for Misty, giving her an early upper hand. Ash decided to use a {{type2|Grass}} next, as they ''also'' have an advantage, and sends out his {{AP|Chikorita}}. Misty chooses her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. Ash opens the fight with a {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Staryu avoids it and uses {{m|Swift}}. Chikorita responds with a {{m|Tackle}}. Misty commands a Water Gun, and nearly defeats Chikorita, but it digs in its heels. Ash tells Chikorita to use {{m|Vine Whip}}, but it misses as Staryu jumps again to use Tackle. With a quick move, however, Chikorita evades the Tackle and grabs and defeats Staryu with Vine Whip. The match is now at one apiece, and it comes down to the last battle, both determined to win.

Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, while Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}. The battle begins, and we cut to Team Rocket, who are now drifting downstream. After a brief conversation about Totodile and the boss, and ending up in front of the battle between Ash and Misty, they plan to wait until the end of the battle to take the tired Pokémon away.

Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, which Poliwag counters with Water Gun. Bulbasaur avoids it and uses another Razor Leaf, knocking Poliwag down and seemingly defeating it... however, Poliwag begins to glow, and starts to evolve, becoming {{p|Poliwhirl}}. Ash scans it in his Pokédex, and then commands a Tackle from Bulbasaur. Poliwhirl uses {{m|Body Slam}}, and hurts Bulbasaur badly. Using Razor Leaf to get away, Ash asks if it can continue, which it can. He commands a {{m|SolarBeam}}, which Bulbasaur begins to charge. Poliwhirl uses {{m|Bubble}} while the SolarBeam charges, battering Bulbasaur. Eventually it's fully charged, and Bulbasaur blasts Poliwhirl, making it unable to battle. Brock declares Ash the winner, and hands him Totodile's Poké Ball.

Before he can celebrate, the Pokémon Battler's Ladies Auxiliary shows up to congratulate them. A {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s appearance, however, gives them away as no one other than Team Rocket, who soon reveal themselves after their [[Team Rocket motto|motto]]. Meowth declares their intentions, but Ash reveals that he has {{AP|Totodile}}, which bites Jessie's hair. She sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} in anger, and tells James to send out {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Arbok goes after Totodile, but Totodile uses {{m|Bite}} and whips Arbok around to knock both it and Meowth out.Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}}, but Totodile avoids the move and uses {{m|Scratch}}, which sends it back into the rest of Team Rocket. Using Water Gun, Totodile sends Team Rocket blasting off again.

Happy with winning, Totodile begins dancing with Pikachu, and Misty admits that she's not jealous that Ash beat her, but mostly because she has her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} which listens to her rather than doing whatever it wants. The group then continues its journey towards [[Goldenrod City]].

==Major events==
* Both Ash and Misty fail to capture the wild Totodile on their first try.
* Both {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} throw their {{DL|Poké Ball|Lure Ball}}s simultaneously, but only one captures a wild {{p|Totodile}}. {{an|Brock}} referees a match to determine who will get the Pokémon.
* Ash is declared the winner and receives {{AP|Totodile}}.
* Misty's {{p|Poliwag}} evolves into {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} and learns {{m|Body Slam}}.

===Errors===
* When Ash commands his Chikorita to use Razor Leaf on Misty's Staryu, she commands it to "use its Jump" as if it was an attack.
* At the end, the narrator says that Ash and friends are going ''to'' [[Johto]], not ''through'' Johto.

===Dub edits===
* Misty goes on about her ambitions to learn everything about Water Pokémon for much longer in the dub. In the original, the scene with {{t|Water}} Pokémon scrolling past shows Misty praying to "The God of Water Pokémon" to help her achieve her goal.
* Rather than make up a food item, the onigiri is referred to as a "delicious but non-nutritious snack treat".

'''No Big Woop!''' (Japanese: '''ウパーがいっぱい！''' ''Lots of {{tt|Upah|Wooper}}!'') is the 148th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 18, 2000 and in the United States on March 31, 2001.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==

{{Incomplete synopsis}}
Crossing a hill on the way to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} notice a building nearby. As Brock is about to say what he thinks the building is, a {{p|Wooper}} drops from a tree and lands on Brock's neck, causing him to fall down the slope.

On the lower level, [[Olesia]] is about to teach the class of {{p|Wooper}} when Brock hits the ground. Wooper then jumps off Brock and Olesia asks if he is alright. Brock quickly recovers and starts flirting with her. Misty pulls him away and then asks Olesia about the buildings. She tells them that it's [[Pokémon Day Care|a preschool]] only for Wooper. She then tells of how she loved to raise Wooper, and how that spot was a good place to teach. Ash then goes to his [[Pokédex#In the Anime|Pokédex]] and looks up Wooper. Ash reminds himself of his previous encounter with the [[EP127|Quagsire]]. Misty then asks Olesia if they could watch her teach and she agrees. She plays the tambourine and then the Wooper start to swim and dance. Ash and Misty then admire the Wooper while Brock admires Olesia.

In the [[Ilex Forest#In the Anime|woods]], [[Jessie]] is looking around for food when she finds a mushroom. [[James]] and {{MTR}} tell her that it is poisonous. She tosses it aside and all three start to complain of how they haven't had any food for weeks. Then James says that they could call the "{{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}" for money but then is told by Meowth that they spent all the money he gave them. They decide their only hope is to find a rare Pokémon. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] joins the trio and they start looking around for either a rare Pokémon or a snack.

Ash and his friends are having their snack when Olesia gets a call from her mom. Olesia then says that her mom needs to see her. Brock then offers to take care of the Wooper while she is away. She accepts, gives Brock a book about raising Wooper, and drives off in her Motorcycle. They head inside the preschool.

Inside, they discover the Wooper aren't in the pond. {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}} then finds a trail of water leading deeper inside the house. They follow the trail and find the Wooper eating and all over the place. Brock then reads in the book that the best way to get Wooper to listen to you is to show affection and food. So Brock pulls out a piece of [[food]] and shows it to the Wooper. One Wooper walks up and licks him and then the rest proceed to do so too. He then reads that the second best way was to play the tambourine. Misty then remembers of how she used to play the tambourine when she was a little girl. She picks up the tambourine and begins to play it, but none of the Wooper seem to be entertained. She then puts it down and they begin to leave; she then realizes Togepi is gone. They hear a tambourine playing, and they see Togepi playing the tambourine and the Wooper following Togepi.

Misty is angry that they'd rather listen to Togepi's beat rather than her own. Brock says it's just because Pokémon know a Pokémon's beat.

==Major events==
* Jessie fails to capture a [[Wooper]], because it already has a trainer.

Djulienr: /* Synopsis */

I did a fairly long synopsis. Do you think it needs to be shorter?
:Perfectly fine. The more detail, the better. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 06:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

===Synopsis===
The synopsis for this episode is poor in quality and really needs to be cleaned up. I put a slight dent in what needs to be rectified by completely re-writing the first three sections, but there is a good deal more work to be done. Here are some of the problems that I noticed:
*Run-on sentences:
**''"Meowth attacks with his Fury Swipes but Gligar jumps away and Meowth lands a swipe right across Jessie's face and Jessie instantly responds by giving Meowth her version of Fury Swipes."''
*Unnecessary repetition of adjectives, names or phrases in general.
**''"It looks like the '''heroes''' are in trouble as Pikachu can't attack for fear of electrocuting the '''heroes''' as well."''
**''"Jessie and James comment that they have never heard of him which embarrasses '''Gligarman''', Meowth then asks why '''Gligarman''' is wearing long underwear which embarrasses the '''Gligarman''' further."''
*The example above is also one of a poorly constructed 'sentence', as it is in fact two sentences incorrectly connected with a comma. It should resemble:
**''"Jessie and James explain that they have never heard of Gligarman while Meowth further embarrasses him by asking why he is dressed in long underwear."''

===Ash Mad===
Should it be mentioned that this is the first time Ash seemed to be mad at Brock for going crazy over a girl. He's never actually been mad like Misty. [[User:Djulienr|Djulienr]] 02:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

'''For Crying Out Loud''' (Japanese: '''なきむしマリル！''' ''Crybaby {{tt|Maril|Marill}}!'') is the 132nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 27, 2000 and in the United States on January 20, 2001.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} is looking forward to battle in the next Gym, which is the [[Azalea Gym]] in [[Azalea Town]]. As {{an|Misty}} spots large houses and comments how beautiful the place is, {{an|Brock}} gets excited because whenever there is a beautiful place, he can find many beautiful girls. Misty asks why he thinks that and Brock points out to a girl standing on the edge of a cliff. As soon as {{p|Marill}} appears, Misty, who just loves water Pokémon, attempts to capture it. But the Poké Ball simply hits Marill on the head, causing it to cry out loud. Brock quickly comforts the Marill. Ash points out that Marill must already have a Trainer because of the pink bow tied on its tail. Misty tries to hold it, but Marill doesn't seem to like Misty and cries again.

[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} make their appearance, disguised as farmers, and they offer the group a lift. Unaware of the plot, they hop on the vehicle. Just then, two hands grab hold of Pikachu and Marill and make their escape after getting rid of Ash, Misty, and Brock. Marill lets out an ear-splitting cry, making Meowth lose his control over his driving. The truck eventually crashes into a railing and [[Team Rocket]] blasts off into the air once again. Pikachu and Marill ends up rolling down the hill towards the riverside. Ash tries to go after them and ends up landing into a tree. On the other hand, Misty continues down the hill and successfully grabs the two Pokémon. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop and falls into the river.

The girl they were gazing at before meets up with Ash and Brock, and asks them about her Marill. Brock, who goes gaga for beautiful girls, introduces himself to her and learns that her name is [[Wilhelmina]].

Misty, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Marill survive the river, but Marill begins to cry again. With her temper getting the best of her, Misty yells at Marill, making it more upset. Marill then runs off, leaving her pink ribbon behind. Misty tries to hold Marill, but the blue mouse simply refuses to be with her. After calming down a bit, Misty suggests to find Marill's Trainer by using its sensitive ears. During the search, Misty gets impatient with Marill and the Water-type cried.

Ash has full confidence that Misty will take care of Marill. But Wilhelmina is still worried about her Pokémon and blames herself for its disappearance. Brock starts comforting her. Afterward, Togepi spots Marill's pink ribbon. Meanwhile, the other group gets in trouble with a bunch of {{p|Beedrill}}. Ash, Brock, and Wilhelmina hears Pikachu screaming and runs towards the sound. However, they miss Misty, Pikachu, and Marill.

The situation becomes more critical as Misty, Pikachu, and Marill reach a dead-end. Thinking quickly, Misty tells Pikachu to use {{m|ThunderShock}}. The ThunderShock manages to scare off the swarm of Beedrill. Just when things seem okay for them, rain begins to fall. Misty and the two Pokémon find shelter under some trees. As the lightning starts scaring Marill, Misty tries to console it. And when the lightning is about to hit Marill, Misty goes out of her way to save it.

Team Rocket make their appearance again after the rain stopped and grabs the two Pokémon. Misty manages to grab hold of Marill, but ends up falling. However, [[Ash's Chikorita]] saves them in the nick of time. Jessie and James battle against Ash and Misty with Arbok and Weezing. Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} attack almost hit Misty, but Marill uses {{m|Water Gun}} to save her. After that, Pikachu blows Team Rocket away with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

During the ending, Misty is nearly in tears as she waves goodbye to Marill.

[[Image:PalletShipping.png|220px|thumb| Ash and Gary in ''[[EP063|Battle of the Badge!]]'']]
'''PalletShipping''' (Japanese: '''シゲサト''' Shigesato or '''サトシゲ''' Satoshige) is is the belief that {{Gary}} and {{Ash}} belong in a romantic relationship. This Ship is more popular in Japan, very possibly because the original version contains a larger amount of hints, which, as PalletShippers point out, are edited or made less suggestive in the dub.

==Evidence==
PalletShippers believe that, among other hints, the following moments constitute valid proof of a possible romantic relationship between Ash and Gary.
{{spoilers}}
* ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''
: En route to Cerulean City, Ash and {{ashfr|company}} notice a small piece of graffiti Gary left on a sign saying, "Gary was here! Ash is a loser!" Ash then tears off down the road to catch up with his rival. PalletShippers notice that this is the first of many times Gary goes out of his way to insult Ash, and many wonder what drives him to do this. Ash also becomes very aggravated by this small note, which is proof that Ash takes to heart what Gary says to him.

* ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge!]]''
: Ash and the gang find Gary and his cheerleaders wounded in the final [[Kanto]] gym. While {{an|Brock}} goes crazy about the wounded girls, Ash exclaims Gary's name and runs over to him, cradling him and seeming truly worried about his 'hated' rival. Gary tells Ash what happened to him, right there in Ash's arms. Later in the same episode, after Gary seems to have recovered a bit, Ash is battling [[Team Rocket]] and Gary seems rather worried about him when he gets shocked; he even spouts some encouraging words to Ash (which is a rare event, considering he is almost always taunting Ash). Gary is also the one who leaps in to tackle {{MTR}}, making sure that Ash gets the badge from the gym. The final bit in this episode is the very end when Gary actually compliments Ash, saying that he is a decent trainer.

* ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''
: This episode takes place shortly after ''The Battle of The Badge'' when Ash and Gary meet up at Professor Oak's lab. Ash had originally traveled there to speak to Professor Oak about the Indigo Pokémon League. Upon realizing Gary is there, however, Ash completely forgets about asking Oak and instead runs to Gary. Ash then takes him by the shoulders and shakes him while begging for information about the League, which he could have just as easily obtained from the Professor. After a bit of arguing (as is normal in their rivalry up to this point), they stop and finally admit that both of their training techniques are good, and finally end up hanging out, walking around the Professor's ranch like friends and chatting about their Pokémon. In this episode Gary also winks at Ash a few times, and they end up battling Team Rocket together in perfect union, without a second thought.

* ''[[EP115|A Tents Situation]]''
: During the episode every time someone mentions [[Professor Ivy]], Brock isolates himself with depression because something happened between them and he had a crush on her. When [[Misty]] mentions Gary, Ash does the same thing. This could lead some fans could think it was for the same reason.

* ''[[EP116|A Rivalry Revival]]''
: After a battle with Gary in the episode ''[[EP115|A Tents Situation]]'', Gary has left and Misty inquires if Ash would like to know where Gary is going. Ash acts as if he doesn't care (exclaiming "Why should I care!?" defensively) but later goes to Professor Oak's lab and asks him where Gary is heading anyway. Upon finding out that Gary is going to the Johto Region, he apparently chooses to go to Johto himself based on Gary's decision, beginning his trek there in the next episode.

* ''[[EP171|Power Play]]''
: At the beginning of this episode, Ash and the gang stumble across Gary battling a trainer who has a strong-looking Alakazam. Gary uses his Umbreon to defeat the Alakazam and Ash gets excited, sliding down a rather steep cliff to get to Gary as the latter begins to walk off. Ash momentarily gets Gary's attention and asks for a battle, which Gary refuses. Ash seems genuinely hurt by being rejected by Gary, even though it was just a battle. Later, when Ash is still in a bad mood from his rejection, Misty asks "What's the matter with you, Prince Charming?" Some PalletShippers see this as proof that Misty is aware of Ash's attempt to impress and entice Gary by battling. That very night, Ash is still seemingly hurt and angered by the rejection, and claims that he'll stuff his face until he meets up with Gary again so that he'll have plenty of strength. After defeating Team Rocket's mecha, Gary says, "Now's our chance, Ash," even though Misty and Brock are present. This is yet another example of how Gary seems to only pay attention to Ash during their meetings. When Gary goes to switch on the water handle, Ash immediately says, "I'll go with you!" even though Gary doesn't ask for company. Ash and co. all try to turn the handle and Gary decides to help them by putting his hands on Ash's and pulling the handle with them. Towards the end of this episode, when the power has returned to the city, Gary starts to depart when Ash calls Gary's name in an almost wistful sort of way, as if he doesn't want him to leave. Gary stops and tells Ash that he did a good job getting the power back on and that next time they meet they will battle. Ash is overjoyed as he watches Gary walk away. Another somewhat suggestive theme in this episode is the seemingly romantic music playing in the background during the last scene between Ash and Gary.

* ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]''
: Similar to the examples of Ash following Gary to various regions, when Ash learns that Gary is in a race, he swears to beat him (possibly to try to gain dominance in the relationship). Of course, it is entirely possibly that Ash, being Ash, would've entered the competition anyway, because that's what he does (like the [[Whirl Cup]] with {{an|Misty}}). It is worth noting that Gary does not once insult Ash in this episode, a drastic change from his earlier appearances. Also, when Ash falls off his skateboard and falls down the hill, Gary calls his Arcanine to block Ash from continuing to roll.

* ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]''
: Ash arrives at the [[Silver Conference]]. Upon arrival, he realizes that Gary is participating in the Conference, and seems somewhat bothered by that fact. During the night, Ash thinks about Gary and the Conference and cannot fall sleep. He decides to take a walk, during which he bumps into Gary. The two of them end up sitting by a lake, under a starlit sky, and talking for a while. Gary gives Ash some very professional-sounding advice, and Ash inquires if he is alright. Later, they agree that they are friends, and Gary uses what PalletShippers believe to be a pet-name, calling Ash "Ashy". Later, in the same episode, Gary is also the one who says that Ash should be the one to carry the Silver Conference torch.

* ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''
: In this episode, Ash actually beats Gary in a battle during the Silver Conference. {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Delia}} are watching the battle, and Professor Oak says that even though Gary would never admit it, Ash is his most important friend. Delia replies that Ash is no different in that respect. After the battle, Gary tells Ash to meet him, and ends up giving the latter his half of a Poké Ball (of which they had each carried half throughout their entire journey). The two of them then hold hands.

* ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''
: In this episode Ash and Gary say their final goodbyes before Gary leaves to go do his research. Before they part, Ash decides to give Gary back his half of the Poké Ball. Gary takes the small part of the Poké Ball and says he'll take good care of it. Later, Ash is sitting around thinking about how all of his friends are gone, and decides he wants to be like Gary and get a whole new start by going to Hoenn, basing another important life decision on being like Gary.

* ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''
: In this episode, Ash is feeling rather down about losing a battle when he receives a postcard from Gary. He imagines himself standing and talking with Gary in response to the letter. After doing so, Ash becomes less bummed about losing the battle and gets a burst of determination, deciding to work hard and try again. Professor Oak also makes a comment about how Gary is a medicine for Ash at times like these.

* ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is]]''
: In this episode Ash runs into Gary and his Electivire. Gary greets him using that famous pet-name, "Ashy-boy," and Ash asks for a battle. Gary agrees, but says that Electivire is too tired from battling Team Rocket at the moment, and that they can battle later at Professor Oak's lab. They do indeed battle and Gary wins, telling Ash that even though he beat the Battle Frontier, there are many trainers and Pokémon that he doesn't know about in Sinnoh, and that the world is a big place. He then says goodbye, saying he's heading back to Sinnoh. Ash takes Gary's words into consideration and makes the decision to follow Gary to Sinnoh, basing yet another travel decision on Gary's own. Ash leaves for Sinnoh the very next day and meets up with him [[DP045|45 episodes later]]. Many PalletShippers believe that Ash's decision is based on his possible love/interest in Gary.

==Alternate names==
Although the most widely-used name for this coupling is "PalletShipping", others do exist. Some of them are:

*ShigeSato (シゲサト) : The original (Japanese) name for this ship, using the Japanese convention of combining the names of two characters, with the dominant character being first.
*SatoShige (サトシゲ) : A less-common variant on ShigeSato, used by those who believe Ash (Satoshi) to be dominant over Gary (Shigeru).
*ShiShi (シシ) or ShiShiShipping: From Satoshi and Shigeru. Some PalletShippers use it to indicate that they merely like the pairing without caring about evidence.

==Game Counterpart==
This page belongs in the anime section of the game character. We have it for almost all the other game characters that appear in the anime so why should this be any different. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:Because he's different. He's a [[Cross-canon counterparts|Cross-canon counterpart]]. It would be just like having Ash as a subsection of {{ga|Red}}'s article. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::No he isn't. Jun is basically the same character. Unlike Ash and Red who have some differences. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::Shut up, he is! He's a [[Cross-canon counterparts|Cross-canon counterpart]]. We have articles on all Cross-canon counterparts: {{Ash}}, {{Gary}}, {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, [[Vincent]] {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, we also have articles on ALL manga counterparts, then why not on Jun, too? He's got a FULL appearance, unlike {{ga|Silver}}, [[Brendan]] and [[Lucas]], so he fully deserves a specific article. He is also a MAIN game rival (unlike [[Wally]], who didn't appear in anime, but if he did, he would deserve nothing more than an anime subsection in the game article). Remember for your life - Cross-canon counterpart = Different Character! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::They can only be cross-canon counterparts if one of the characters are based off on the other. But Jun is exactly the same as his game character. Personality, Pokémon, everything. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::No, that's not true. Any MAIN character counterpart is considered different (except the mentioned three, whose appearances weren't long enough) and please, don't say anything about his personality. That's what we call gun-jumping. We don't even really know what Pokémon will he posess. Rival counterpart = Different character. It's a thing you just have to remember. Don't act like you know more than me about Pokémon. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::We don't even know if Jun will be appearing again. And even if Jun is different so should the countless number of game characters that appeared in the show. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::{{jo|Jimmy}} also appeared for only one episode (though I agree that he SHOULD NOT be put to the template). So, your logic fails. He's an Inter-Media Counterpart not matter if you like it or not. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I was not talking about Jimmy. I'm talking about all the gym leaders, game villains, Elite 4, heck even [[Cheryl]] and [[Mira]]. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Then why does {{jo|Jimmy}} have an article about him in your opinion? He's just an one-time character, so shouldn't he be just a subsection of {{ga|Gold}} according to your logic? The Gym Leaders, Villains, Elite 4 and Other Characters you mentioned are actually the same characters in all canons they appear. It's generally accepted that only counterparts of MAIN game characters count as separate characters. Main characters = Game protagonists, Rivals (the characters you can name, in general). It's a generally-accepted standard and Jun meets it. So, don't argue. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::: Jmath does have a point, Dawn's mother doesn't have an article, and she's pretty important, I would even say more important than Jun, because Johanna has a relation to Dawn. I don't see why Jun would deserve his own article. When Johanna even doesn't. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::FAIL. Johanna is not a MAIN game characters, not a rival or protagonist, she is just a mother. She may be important in the anime, in the games she's not. So, her anime incarnation DOES NOT deserve an article. Your argument failed like a bomb in ocean. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Jimmy isn't exactly same as Gold. They're still different just as Ash and Red are different. And by your logic, May and Dawn should go also be in the games page. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::No, they shouldn't. Because they are protagonists/rivals. My main criteria is not the importance of the character in the other canon, name difference or design differences but rather his ROLE IN THE GAME. This is a criteria everyone here agrees with. You're arguing with me for no reason. And you keep losing. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
: Professor Oak, Professor Birch, Professor Elm, Professor Rowan also don't have their own articles (And argue all you want but Professor OAK IS IMPORTANT IN THE GAMES). And plus what you said makes no sense, how is a parent/relative less important than a game rival? Add to the fact we have articles of COTD's and still other characters don't have their own articles. SO YOUR LOGIC FAILS. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::No, it does not fail. The Professors are important, but they're not MAIN characters. And saying that protagonist's parent who just sits in house and sometimes enter Contests is more important that the game rival is just RIDICULOUS. Please, don't insist that you know anything about the things you have no idea about. It's what I hate the most in people like you. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Then why the hell do we have articles of people who only showed up once in the anime when these characters I mentioned showed up more than once. See that doesn't make sense. Sure argue I don't know what the hell I'm talking about but you don't either. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Please, leave COTDs away. They are completely unrelated here. They are completely unrelated to the game characters we are currently talking about. If they appeared in the game, they would have one articles on all their incarnations, but they NEVER appear in the games, so they have only one article - about their one and only incarnation - the anime one. So sorry, you fail again. Your reasons are one of the most stupid ones I've heard in awhile. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::IT MAKES NO SENSE. Why is Jun so important, just because he's a damn rival protaginist? If Jun appears only once he's just akin to a COTD. So he get's his own article (just like COTD's). Again it makes no sense. Jun could not important at all, his anime team mirrors his team in the games, which I can't say the same about Professor Oak, Johanna, Professor Elm, and blah blah blah, because they have differences between the two. Professor Oak never had Dragonite in the games, and Johanna never had a Glameow in the games (she only had a Kangaskhan).You know I can understand that it would make some articles with little information(a paragraph at the most). But remember COTD's information really small (just pointing to the connection not importance). And besides if Johanna's game information was so damn important, it would show up on this page http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mom. And when I pointed to the COTDs, you totally missed the point. See your arguement is if they didn't have a important role in the games they don't deserve their own article. Okay I get it but why is it when they aren't important to the anime they deserve their own article. Isn't that a double standard? --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::He may be a COTD in the anime but in the game he's a MAIN character and all his Cross-canon incarnations count as separate characters. It's you who started mixing random characters to this. They have no bearing here. They're a separate issue. And the fact that they possess different Pokémon than in the games doesn't reflect anything. It's about the characters, not their Pokémon. Please leave non-protagonist characters alone, they're a separate issue. And do you realise that the thing about COTDs you mentioned are actually an argument IN FAVOUR of having an article on Jun. You're contradicting yourself. I could use your arguements against you if I wanted it, but I don't feel like doing it. You have weak and newbish reasons. I'm sick of debating with people like you. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::: Like me? Damn if you are so sure you know anything about me, write my biography. And no I wasn't contradicting myself I was making a connection. It's only a contradiction when I'm adamant about Jun not having an article. In fact I have no problem with it, the problem I do have is that while Jun has it's own articles, certain characters don't. And hell if COTD was any indication of anything, it would mean we would have articles about Johanna, Professor Oak because hell they showed up in the anime, don't they deserve their own anime articles. Who cares that they have game information? And again it's all double standards. Oh but I suppose YOU don't have a problem with it.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::: I forgot, when I said Jun could be like COTD, I meant that it "should" be on his game page, just like Professor Oak, and Johanna. But again double standards.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Adding to the fire, but, seriously, the answer to the problem is in his name. If his game article is going to be called "Pearl (game)", then "Jun (anime)" should deserve his own page, BECAUSE he's not called Pearl. GLs, the five partners, all direct game references with no name changes don't deserve their own separate page.

HOWEVER. Jun's game name defaults as Pearl. He is not Pearl. He is Jun (and hopefully, in the future, Barry). He should get his own paged based on the fact that he isn't called his default game name, just like Ash isn't called Red and Gary isn't called Green/Blue. Riley will still be Riley, Winona was still Winona. Pearl isn't Jun, and it isn't fair to designate him under Pearl simply because nothing changed about him personally. They'll act the same, but Gary acted the same way as his game C/P all through Kanto, and if this was then, Gary still would have gotten his own page. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 15:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
: I have no problem with Gary or Ash from the anime because it's obvious they are slightly different then their Game counterparts. When we have Jun who is exactly like his game counterpart only his name is different is the problem. Jun looks exactly like Pearl (game) and most likely has the same team (3 of his 6 are). Forget it....... I don't care anymore, have your weird Bulbapedia format, where a game rival is more important than a game/anime article character is related to an anime article character.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 16:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Okay, here's why he's not under Pearl's page. ==

Because '''''he's not Pearl any more than Gary Oak is Blue'''''. Remember, Gary was as much a jerk as Blue. They even both said "smell ya later" I believe. Gary's team may not be based on Blue's in any games, but so what? What's to say Jun's last three Pokémon aren't something completely random?

He has the same clothes. Great. He has the same team. Great. Gary has the same clothes as Blue in both RGBY and FRLG and he's got a separate article.

The title of the episode is ''Rival Trainer Jun Appears!'' not ''Rival Trainer Pearl Appears!''. His name is Jun. Not Pearl. Just like how {{tt|Kenta|Jimmy}}, not {{ga|Gold}}, and {{jo|Marina}}, not {{tt|Crys|Kris}}, appeared in the ''[[Legend of Thunder]]'' special. Brendan and Lucas weren't given separate names nor even much of an appearance, but Jun appears in an episode titled after and focusing on him. Jimmy and Marina do the same in LOT, though they didn't exactly name the thing.

Essentially, though, here's what it is: Game protagonists and rivals who appear in the anime get a separate page for their anime iteration if their role is large enough. {{ga|Silver}} appeared in the opening for LOT, and nothing else (plus {{an|Silver}} is that old guy who everyone <s>knows</s> thinks is [[Ash Ketchum|the idiot]]'s dad anyway). {{ga|Brendan}} was in the opening segment of three movies, but did little more than send out one Pokémon and order it to use a move. Whoo, give the man a page. No really. He's not notable enough in the anime for his own page. {{ga|Lucas}} does even less; he battled only ONCE in a movie opening.

Plus, well, with the exception of May and Dawn, all of the game protagonists and antagonists have different names from their anime counterparts. {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}, not Red. {{tt|Shigeru|Gary}}, not {{tt|Green|Blue}}. {{tt|Kenta|Jimmy}}, not Gold. Marina, not {{tt|Crys|Kris}}. {{tt|Jun|And he's gonna be protected from moving to an English name until next year or longer!}}, not Pearl.

In closing.

Wouldn't the two unknown badges and the coal badge have been obtained prior to "Gotta Get a Gible" since those are the only three badges that actually make sense? Because like I said Barry didn't get Fantina's badge until after Gotta a Gible, neither would he have gotten the Beacon badge. So that only leaves those 2 unknown badges and coal badge as the three Barry obtained prior to Gotta get a Gible. Like I said the only way that cannot be true is if like I think you implied that Barry has more than 8 badges --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 22:03, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I see what u mean now and in that case I belive u may be right, however I'm not an admin so I'll probabley get told of I change it, should wait for their word [[User:05308|Lanturn....05308]] 22:07, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

== Beacon Badge ==
Shouldn't it be mentioned that Barry didnt actually earn this badge and that he just took it because he said he has this badge but at the time when he got it the badges were just being handed out by the machine. ???? [[User:Djulienr|Djulienr]] 03:05, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Ash's Totodile

2011-06-09T23:58:11Z

Djulienr:

Are you sure Tony Anselmo plays the voice of Totodile? Other than imdb.com and Wikipedia, nothing I've found (including Pokemon's credits) says that he's a voice actor with the show. -PAK Man

:Well, that's what Wikipedia's article on Totodile says.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 17:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

::The only problem with Wikipedia is that anybody can contribute to it. This is also the web site that says Carlos Alazraqui was a voice actor on Pokémon, when his website never says he was. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]]

:It also doesn't make sense. I mean, everything else he's done has been for Disney - why would he voice Totodile for 4Kids? Besides, he's not the only person who can do a voice like Donald Duck - even if it's a difficult voice to imitate. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== Totodile's voice ==

Totodile sounds like {{wp|Clarence Nash}} Donald Duck's original voice
:Well I can assure you that he does not voice him. Some one also thought that he voiced it too. But you have to realize that practically anyone can make their voice sound like Donald Duck's. Realize that Donald has probably had three different VA's by now and they all do his voice the same. Totodile just was made to have a "Donald Duck-like" voice. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 22:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
::Gah, I'm so sick of people saying Donald Duck plays Totodile. People, there is '''''NO''''' possible way that Totodile is voiced by Clarence Nash, Tony Anselmo, or any other Disney voice actor. Disney, if I recall correctly, records all of their voices in California. Pokémon is dubbed in New York. And Maddie Blaustein stated on the Serebii forums that, although she doesn't know who played Totodile, she assured everyone that it wasn't Donald Duck. Also, point out to me where Nash or Anselmo has been credited in Pokémon. The only places I see that are Wikipedia, IMDB and TV.com (which is one of the most inaccurate sites out there when it comes to voice actors. I told the editor that some of his voice actor information was wrong, and he told me it wasn't), all sites which people can contribute freely to. Also, for the record, Carlos Alazraqui '''did not''' play the Magikarp salesman, Jhonin Vasquez '''did not''' play Professor Nanba, and neither Matt Mitler or Jason Marsden has played Gary Oak. And Philip Bartlett wasn't the narrator, either. :sigh: It's as simple as just reading the credits.
::By the way, sorry if this post seemed a little angry. I'm just so mad at people who hear one rumor about a voice actor and then post it everywhere else claiming it's true. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 00:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Also Nash couldn't of voiced Totodile because he died 22 years ago. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 02:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
::::Another good point. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 03:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

== Bill Rogers ==

Do you think Bill Rogers will voice Totodile?

== Incorrect credits ==

Voice Actors .com said that [[Rachael Lillis]] voiced Charmander it is not true someone should fix that and make it [[Michael Haighney]] and [[Bella Hudson]] did not voice [[Officer Jenny]] [[Jamie Davyous Owens]] did and also it said that [[Lisa Ortiz]] voiced [[Chikorita]] and its evolutions [[Mika Kanai]] did not Ortiz and I think Birnbaum does voice Bellsprout because if you listen really closely it sort of sounds like [[Jessie's Dustox]] {{unsigned|Livinlarge18}}

:Well, that's they're problem, not ours. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 03:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

===Gender===
Is Totodile a confirmed male? '''''DCM'''''

:As far as we know, yes. [[EP153|''Love, Totodile Style'']] had Totodile fall head over heels for a confirmed-female {{p|Azumarill}} who eventually shunned him for a {{p|Golduck}}. There was also the minor matter of a likely-female {{p|Quagsire}} at the end of the episode. This means that, unless it's a lesbian (which is highly unlikely, as the only confirmed non-straight in the anime is [[Harley]]), it's male. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:19, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
::When was it confirmed that Harley is gay? [[User:Pokeman21|Pokeman21]] 15:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone prove Rogers does the voice of Totodile he sounds nothing like any of her other voices [[User:Livinlarge18|Livinlarge18]] 14:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:Well, that user claiming to be Kayzie added a whole slew of roles that only Kayzie would have known. Plus, at the same time she was updating Bulbapedia, she updated Wikipedia with the same information, stating that she was indeed Kayzie. She also corrected some credits here, and confirmed that it was Jerry Lobozzo that played Dr. Quackenpoker. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 14:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
::Seriously? And {{u|Porygon-Z}} said "That was a gang-raped bitch-slapped piece of crap" on one of her edits that he undid. Hopefully she didn't see that.

:::Considering she hasn't been here since April, I think she only came to correct her credits and leave. She said on her [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:KayzieRogers Wikipedia User Page] that she's sick of all the rumors about her characters, so she decided to set the records straight. I've noticed Maddie Blaustein, Stuart Zagnit and Mike Pollock have also updated their Wikipedia credits as well (or at least people claiming to be them). --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 04:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

==Isn't this article too short?==
I think it is, but I don't know what to add. There are some articles, like the Gym leader's Pokémon, which a quiet larger/longer. In my opininon we have to proof some episodes whether they inform us about Totodile or give ous information we can add. --×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 10:17, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know. Totodile really didn't do anything of importance besides causing Ash and Misty to fight over it and falling in love with a few other Pokémon. Perhaps the race in [[Pokémon Heroes]] could be mentioned. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys i agree, so i added a bit to the article adding in a little more about his use as a comic release character, ex the dancing and also with his scary face move. i know there can be more so ill try hard to think of a little more to write. totodile is my favorite and i think ash's deserves more in it article. i hope what i added works :)

== Slash ==

It used Slash, once, according to the Slash article.--[[User:Muk-a-matic|Muk-a-matic-Maketh the Muk go round...]] 18:32, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeahhhh...... in [[Just Add Water]]!--[[User:Muk-a-matic|Muk-a-matic-Maketh the Muk go round...]] 18:35, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

List of Pokémon by evolutionary line

2011-06-08T19:03:53Z

Djulienr: /* Trivia */

This is a list of Pokémon by their evolution family. That is, it is a list of Pokémon in their [[National Pokédex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|order]], however, it includes [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|later-released]] [[evolution]]s and [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] closer to the first Pokémon in their family to be released. This means that {{p|Pichu}} will appear before {{p|Pikachu}}, instead of at its National Pokédex position of 172, and {{p|Magby}} and {{p|Magmortar}} will appear next to {{p|Magmar}}. Evolution families are named by their basic evolutionary form. For example, although {{p|Azurill}} is the lowest Pokémon in its evolutionary line, it is still known as the {{p|Marill}} family, because Marill was released first.

==Trivia==
*[[Professor Rowan]] is said in the games to have studied Pokémon evolution and determined that 90% of all Pokémon are related in some way by evolution. As of [[Generation V]], with 102 (54 normal, 48 legendary) Pokémon out of 649 total not evolving, this is quite accurate, as a little over 84% of all Pokémon undergo at least one evolution before being fully evolved. Excluding legendaries, which do not evolve as a rule, brings this percentage to just over 91%.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Throh and Sawk.}} In previous generations:
**25 (20 normal, 5 legendary) Pokémon did not evolve in Generation I, with percentages of 83% including and 86% excluding legendary Pokémon.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee.}}
**43 (32 normal, 11 legendary) Pokémon did not evolve in Generation II, with percentages of 83% including and 87% excluding legendary Pokémon.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Tauros and Miltank.}}
**73 (52 normal, 21 legendary) Pokémon did not evolve in Generation III, with percentages of 81% including and 87% excluding legendary Pokémon.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Plusle and Minun.}}
**77 (42 normal, 35 legendary) Pokémon did not evolve in Generation IV, with percentages of 84% including and 91% excluding legendary Pokémon.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Volbeat and Illumise.}}
*By far, most three-stage evolution families were introduced in Generation I, with 27 such families having their roots there (though not necessarily their most unevolved or most evolved forms). Because of branch evolution, 29 of the second-evolution Pokémon can count themselves as members of a Generation I evolution family. Generation V has the second most, with 19 three-stage families (none due to branching). Generation III has the next most, with 16 three-stage families that end in 18 Pokémon (again due to branching), while Generation II and Generation IV have the least, with only nine and six families, respectively, that end in a third member.
**Generation V, however, has introduced the most original three-stage evolutions, as many of the three stage-evolutions stemming from Generation I include Pokémon not introduced in the same generation as their evolutionary relatives.
*Only 6 Pokémon families that are part of a three-stage evolution can fully evolve without leveling up. They are the [[Pichu|Pi]][[Pikachu|ka]][[Raichu|chu]], [[Cleffa|Cle]][[Clefairy|fai]][[Clefable|ry]], [[Igglybuff|Jig]][[Jigglypuff|gly]][[Wigglytuff|puff]], [[Porygon|Po]][[Porygon2|ry]][[Porygon-Z|gon]], [[Togepi|To]][[Togetic|ge]][[Togekiss|pi]], and [[Budew|Ro]][[Roselia|sel]][[Roserade|ia]] families.
**Out of those the Porygon, and Togepi families are the only not to have their first stage introduced after the rest.

== Hey, uh... ==

I was wondering if you can help me on a little thing [[Talk:Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)|here]]. The titles of the Ruby and Sapphire chapter are incorrect and they need to be fixed. For example [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=PS181&oldid=923409 this] becomes [[PS181|the way it is now]].

== Juniper's husband? ==

Before I correct the spelling of "Unnamed" on Prof. Juniper's page, I'd like to know where her having a husband is ever mentioned. I'm 99% sure it's not in the games, and if he's only in the anime or manga — or even only mentioned in a Nintendo Dream interview or something — that should be mentioned in the infobox. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 16:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

''According to an NPC, Professor Juniper and her husband were formerly Backpackers.''

== Just a suggestion ==

I've beeing reading yoru personality development articles, and i'm kinda amazed by how much attention do you pay when watching these pokemons and the patience to get their points of personality, so I wonder if you couldnt do a small article about darkrai's personality, in akll games, movies, etc, he is surrounded by a misterious aura and an covered past, but he is always different, lçike, in his movie, he hides a protective and sorrowfull himself under a scary and evil facade, while in pokemon mistery dungeon, he is pure evil; so I believe ppls would really enjoy an article about darkrai's personality ^^ pls {{unsigned|Karu}}
: Ok I wrote this big heart-warming reply explaining how I like where your idea is going but I'm too early in my run to be taking requests and being flexible, but when I attempted to preview what I wrote, I got a "Bulbipedia is experiancing difficulties page", basically, what you have said has not fell on deaf ears, I'm still looking to please some others who I have not heared there opinion from and I just wrote what took me 30 minites to write in the first place, in 3 soI'm gonna have to go to bed now [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 00:01, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

-Are you doing an article on ALL of the main character's pokemon (Ash, Misty, May, Brock, Dawn, Tracey, Max [like Jirachi, Ralts], Iris, Cilan, Jessie, & James) ??? I hope so.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
It is the day of the {{to|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, and {{an|Dawn}} is excited to enter. Across town, [[Jessie]] is focused on winning her third ribbon, but she is sick, so [[James]] and {{TR|Meowth}} convince her to stay in bed. To help his friend, James disguises himself as Jessilina and takes her place.

Meanwhile, Dawn makes the decision to use {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the battle round. {{an|Lyra}} expresses the gang's concern in this choice, seeing as this contest holds the pivotal fifth ribbon Dawn needs to enter the [[Grand Festival]]. However, Dawn feels confident in her choice.

While in the waiting room, the gang meets James in his guise as "Jessalina". Lyra makes a remark about the outfit he is wearing, and he quickly gives a response before ducking into a corner, indicating it's been a long time since he's cross-dressed. Meowth reassures him, reminding him that he's doing this for Jessie.

The first round commences, and in a quick set of moves, Dawn's Piplup uses {{m|Whirlpool}} and then {{m|Bide}} to leave a dazzling impression on the minds of the judges. "Jessilina" uses Meowth and {{m|Fury Swipes}} to make delicious ramen for the judges, and they are quite impressed with the showmanship and flavor of the meal. Throughout the appeals round, {{an|Brock}} describes to [[Khoury]] the purpose of the appeals round, as contests are completely new to Khoury.

Backstage, Piplup appears confident and satisfied with its win. The screen lights up, and it is revealed that Dawn is moving on to the next round--along with "Jessalina". In the next round, Dawn uses Mamoswine. The trainer she is up against sends out a {{p|Granbull}}. Mamoswine proves itself powerful when Dawn commands it to use its newly found combo of swallowing {{m|Ice Shard}}, much to the surprise of the audience. Mamoswine gains ice spikes along its back, which it then couples with {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Take Down}} for a quick one-hit knockout of the Granbull. This shocks Dawn, and she reveals backstage that she had been hoping to test more of Mamoswine's combos before the match was through. {{Ash}} and Brock attempt to cheer her up, and help her to be happy that she's going on to the next round.

As the rounds progress, James uses {{TP|James|Carnivine}} to great success, moving on up in the tournament. Throughout the battle round, Brock explains to Khoury the mechanics of what goes on.

It comes down to the semi-final match, and James finds himself up against Dawn. He sends out Carnivine and Dawn sends out Mamoswine. Dawn starts off the match with an Ice Shard, but to her surprise, "Jessalina" is prepared and has Carnivine use {{m|Vine Whip}} to steal the Ice Shard before Mamoswine can eat it. This seriously shocks Mamoswine while Carnivine playfully juggles the Ice Shard. Meowth, sitting backstage, notes to himself that James could possibly win the match. Carnivine returns the Ice Shard back towards Mamoswine and, as Mamoswine is still in shock, it does not react in time to dodge. This makes Mamoswine angry, and it goes into a rage, using Take Down in an attempt to hit Carnivine. Carnivine proves itself too agile for Mamoswine, and dodges the Take Down by simply leaping over it, and each attack Mamoswine attempts after that. This repeated action ends up docking Dawn points with each miss, while Dawn frantically tries to bring Mamoswine under control.

Enraged, Mamoswine charges Carnivine, who James then orders to use Vine Whip and snags Mamoswine's tusks to its surprise. Carnivine then yanks back hard, throwing Mamoswine forward off its feet, which combined with its charging forward momentum, sends it violently sliding on its chin across the stage towards the judges! It quickly becomes clear that Mamoswine won't be able to stop in time, and the judges scramble out of the way just before Mamoswine's body is halted by crashing into and destroying the judges boxes.

With that, time expires, and "Jessalina" has won. Mamoswine has calmed down, but is clearly saddened as it already knows that its behavior has cost Dawn her contest. Dawn tries to cheer Mamoswine up, saying they'll do better next time.

Later, it is revealed that "Jessalina" has won the Lilypad Contest, and James proudly shows off his ribbon alongside Carnivine and Meowth. Jessie sees this on television and is thrilled, though when James comes by later to give her the ribbon, she is upset because the audience liked James better as Jessalina than they liked her as Jessalina. James and Meowth just shrug; Jessie will be Jessie.

That evening, Ash, Brock, Dawn, Lyra and Khoury leave Lilypad to their next destination. Dawn gives [[poffin]]s to Mamoswine for its efforts and while sorry she lost the contest, pledges to win the next one, earn her final ribbon, and go to the Grand Festival. Next time, she'll be ready.

==Major events==
* [[James]] participates in his first [[Pokémon Contest]].
* {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} is also entered for the first time in a contest.
* Dawn is knocked out of the Contest in the semi-final, and suffers her first loss to "Jessilina."

==Trivia==
* With the exception of those owned by main characters, all of the Pokémon that are seen to be entered in the {{to|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}} were introduced in [[Generation II]].
* Instead of [[Professor Oak's lecture]], a preview of the Team Galactic finale was shown, which was revealed to be airing in November 2009 in Japan.
* This is the first episode since ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'' to have {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} returned to his [[Poké Ball]] for a period of time.
* This marks the first time Dawn's whole team did not cheer for her in a Contest.
* James's win of the Lilypad Contest marks the first time a main character participated in a Pokémon Contest and won it on their first try.
** In addition, it also marks the first time James has cross-dressed in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, something that used to be a frequent running gag for him.
* This episode's English title is most likely based on the phrase ''dressed for success''.
* Similar to ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', no dub added music was present within the episode, including the title card music.
*During {{an|Dawn}}'s appeal round, an instrumental version of [[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]] is used.
===Errors===

==Synopsis==
As {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|co}}. travel to [[Lilypad Town]] and {{an|Dawn}}'s next contest with their new friends [[Khoury]] and {{an|Lyra}}, they decide to stop at a Pokémon center; as usual, Brock flirts with [[Nurse Joy]] and is attacked by {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}. When suddenly, three younger kids along with their fainted Pokémon run in and consult Nurse Joy; Joy realizes that they had tried to catch a wild Gible on [[Mt. Shady]], but obviously failed. Joy warns Ash and co. about the rogue Gible then sees to the three kids' fainted Pokémon, while Brock offers his help and they rush off to treat the three Pokémon. Ash decides that a rogue Pokémon must be a strong Pokémon and wants to catch it, but Khoury is afraid, because he thinks that it is too dangerous to catch the Gible. The Ash and the girls head out to catch the Pokémon as Khoury follows.

Along their way, Lyra asks Dawn of what she thinks of having Khoury as Dawn's boyfriend. The question surprises Dawn, as Lyra tells her that they will be a great couple in the future which makes Dawn panic. A bit later along their way, a big rock comes flying towards them which was intentionally caused by the wild Gible. After Khoury checks Gible's data on his [[Pokédex]], the wild Gible uses {{m|Strength}} and throws another big rock at Ash and co., they quickly jump out of the way, then Gible uses {{m|Rock Smash}} at the rock. This amazes Ash, but he and the girls are even more amazed that Khoury is suddenly fired up to catch it, wanting to raise the strong Gible into a powerful {{p|Gabite}}. Ash grins as his competitive spirit is stoked and saying he's the one that's going to catch it, he sends out {{AP|Buizel}} while Khoury sends out {{p|Totodile}}. The Gible uses {{m|Sandstorm}} at them then quickly escapes with {{m|Dig}}. It totally amazed Ash and Khoury, and Lyra suggests that she help Ash and for Dawn to keep an eye on Khoury, then they follow the wild Gible. Team Rocket was eavesdropping the whole time, and they want to give Gible to {{an|Giovanni}} because of its amazing power.

Everyone is now out in a field of tall grass. Ash and Lyra with Buizel continues to look for Gible. Lyra spots the Gible, and it's moving very fast. Ash commands Buizel to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} at Gible; when Buizel was about to hit Gible's dorsal fin, Gible completely hides the fin down in the grass. Gible changes course with Lyra spotting it the second time, Ash commands Buizel to aim {{m|Water Gun}} at the fast Pokémon, but fails when it dodges the attack using the same strategy. Then Gible jumps, Buizel uses {{m|SonicBoom}} but is easily dodges by Gible. As Gible moves at top speed towards them, Ash commands Buizel to intercept it with Aqua Jet but it dodges again. Gible chases Ash and Lyra as they run through the grasslands; Lyra fears that it's going to catch up. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt at Gible but it again dodges, then jumps up and uses Sandstorm to keep Ash, Lyra and Pikachu away, and just as suddenly disappears from sight. Ash realizes that catching Gible is harder than he thought it would be.

Dawn saw that Ash and Lyra are having a hard time catching the Pokémon, while Khoury decides to wait for Gible on a large rock above the grass rather than chase it, by using a [[Fishing|fishing rod]] and gives Dawn one. When Khoury's rod suddenly shakes, they thought that they caught Gible but it turns out to be Piplup. Ash and Lyra come up with a different plan of catching Gible; they each take two sticks and walk about calling, beating the grass to make lots of noise. The Gible suddenly appears, very annoyed, and rushes toward Lyra. Lyra jumps onto a rock so that Gible cannot follow her, but much to her surprise Gible breaks straight through the rock, knocking her down. Lyra tells Ash that she's fine and instead to look for Gible. Ash spots Gible coming at Dawn and Khoury, he warns them, then commands Buizel to use Aqua Jet while Khoury commands his Totodile to use {{m|Aqua Tail}} and both aim at Gible. Gible however leaps out of the way at the last second, causing the two Pokémon to crash into each other. Buizel and Totodile clearly blame each other and start a brawl. Dawn gets something on her rod, but it's Piplup again. Ash and Khoury eventually break up brawl. Ash and Lyra tries Khoury's way of catching Gible by using rods. Khoury comes up with an idea of putting Pokémon food only for Ground and Dragon types on the rods as bait to attract Gible. Lyra teases Khoury about his cooking, but Khoury says it has improved with Brock's assistance. He offers some to everyone, and they cast out their lines.

Dawn's rod soon attracts the wild Gible (and not Piplup again as Lyra teases, who is standing beside Dawn and munching on a [[Poffin]]) and starts pulling her rod, realizing that it is very strong. She struggles with it as Khoury jumps in to keep the rod steady, with Lyra being thrilled that the two of them "are getting closer". When Dawn starts to reel the line in, Gible grabs the line with one hand and yanks it, throwing Dawn and Khoury right off their feet and the rock. Gible breaks a gouge through the middle of the rock, then runs off at full speed away with Ash chasing it. Khoury uses a stethoscope on the ground to hear Gible's digging, Lyra sends out her {{p|Marill}} and detects Gible's location. Team Rocket saw Ash and co. and follows them. Khoury remembers from the Pokédex that Gible is likely inside a nearby cave, but after checking his [[Pokégear]] he also warns Dawn that it's dangerous and they need to be careful. Ash, excited to catch Gible, runs past them with no worries but then falls into a {{p|Trapinch}}'s {{a|Arena Trap}}. After he was saved by Khoury, Dawn and Ash argue because of Ash acting so recklessly. Lyra thinks to herself that only people that care about each other argue like that, but then realizes that she and Khoury do that sometimes and wonders if that means the two of them are close...

After entering the cave trying to search for Gible, the four split off into two groups, Ash with Lyra, and Dawn with Khoury. Marill assists Ash and Lyra, detecting that the Gible is underground, so Ash sends out {{AP|Monferno}} and tells it to use {{m|Dig}} everywhere. Unfortunately, Monferno angers a bunch of {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}, the Diglett and Dugtrio carry Ash and Lyra along with their Pokémon into another part of the cave with Dawn and Khoury chasing them but fails to follow them and loses their tracks. Khoury and Dawn finds the cave to be a maze and are then chased by an angry {{p|Onix}}; in order to escape the Onix, the two split up and Onix hits the wall, awaking bunch of {{p|Zubat}}. Ash and Lyra escape the Diglett and Dugtrio, then soon hear Dawn and Khoury's voices but before they could run into them, they were attack by the Zubat. Dawn and her Piplup looks for Khoury, but meets Ash instead.

Lyra, being alone with her Marill, was later contacted by Khoury through her Pokégear and instructs Lyra to tap on the cave wall so that he can find her through his stethoscope. Soon the four meet up and decide to find the exit first before finding Gible. Just as Ash and co. finally come out of the cave, outside they found the rude Gible and it seems to be ready for battle, being all fired up. Ash and Khoury are ready to capture the wild Gible, but Dawn and Lyra convince Ash to let Khoury have a shot. Khoury sends out Totodile, Totodile using Aqua Tail but Gible stops it with its Sandstorm. Gible quickly uses Strength and aims a rock at Totodile; Khoury tells Totodile to catch the rock and use {{m|Crunch}} and Totodile completely shatters the rock. Khoury commands Totodile to use {{m|Superpower}} to throw a rock back, but Gible catches the rock and breaks it by using {{m|Focus Punch}}. The team cheers for Khoury, while Gible grabs a large, nearby rock with Strength and shatters it on its head to show off how tough it is. Totodile takes up this challenge and uses Superpower to match it. Then the two Pokémon continue to one-up each other, shattering increasingly bigger rocks, then boulders on their heads, with tears of stinging pain in their eyes as both refuse to back down. It seems that Gible has decided that it WILL NOT LOSE, so huffing and puffing, it pulls up an absolutely ''massive'' boulder that shocks everyone that it might crush Gible as it holds it up above itself. Gible lets the giant boulder drop onto its head, which splits into two halves but leaves Gible exhausted. Weakened, Gible tries to escape using Dig but before it could get too far, Khoury commands Totodile to use Water Gun into the hole, the attack hits Gible and drives it out of the ground. Khoury orders an Aqua Tail, which hits Gible. Khoury throws a Poké Ball at it and Gible is caught! Ash and co. congratulates Khoury of his success. Team Rocket is still on the water, hoping to catch the rude Pokémon, thinking that they caught Gible on Wobbuffet's rod, but instead they caught a {{p|Sharpedo}} which chases them.

Outside the Pokémon Center as they have their dinner along with their friends, Brock tells them that Lilypad Town is their next stop for Dawn to earn her next ribbon.
