'''Fussing and Fighting''' is the first round in the {{chap|Black & White}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Synopsis==
{{Spoiler}}
The round starts in on an evening in [[Nuvema Town]], with [[Professor Juniper]] on a phone call. As Professor Juniper is about to have dinner, she goes to put back the [[starter Pokémon]] into their [[Poké Ball]]s in order to be given to their {{pkmn|trainer}}s the next day. Professor Juniper receives a phone call from [[Fennel]] and leaves the starters unattended. Tepig smells the dinner that Professor Juniper had prepared and attempts to eat it.

As {{p|Tepig}} jumps onto the table, he hits the table which rocks back and forth and drops Professor Juniper's dinner. Tepig spys a berry and roasts it, then begins to eat it. While Tepig starts to eat Professor Juniper's dinner, {{p|Snivy}} is hit by something and begins to clean itself. Satisfied whatever hit it was gone it goes on its way, only to get hit in the face with more food. A furious Snivy then attacks Tepig. As Snivy and Tepig start to attack each other, {{p|Oshawott}} attempts to calm them down. Both Snivy and Tepig smash Oshawott onto a wall, an angry Oshawott starts to attack the other Pokémon. As Oshawott starts attacking with its scalchop, it knocks over several items. During Professor Juniper's call with [[Fennel]], Fennel informs Professor Juniper about her discovery on [[Dream Mist]]. As Oshawott knocks over a pitcher of water, Professor Juniper returns to find the mess the starter Pokémon had created. Professor Juniper worries about the situation with the starter Pokémon and if they are able to form a bond with their future trainers.

Sylvester (EP145)

EmptyBlueBox: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Sylvester.png|thumb|right|200px|Sylvester]]
'''Sylvester''' (Japanese: '''ナオト''' ''Naoto'') was the [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]''. He is voiced by [[Amy Birnbaum]] in English and 吉野裕行 ''Hiroyuki Yoshino'' in Japanese.

He and his father (called '''ヨサク''' ''Yosaku'' in the Japanese version) live in the [[Ilex Forest]]. They cut down trees and use them to make [[Charcoal]]. Sylvester tried to use his {{p|Farfetch'd}} and its {{m|Cut}} attack to cut down a tree, but it wouldn't listen to him. {{Ash}} let him know that he was telling Farfetch'd to use ''Cutting attack'', which is why it didn't listen.

After it was stolen by [[Team Rocket]], Sylvester helped save Farfetch'd. Realizing that its trainer cared about it, Farfetch'd began to listen and helped Sylvester cut down trees for Charcoal. As a way of expressing his thanks, Sylvester and his father gave Ash and his friends some Charcoal.

'''Machamp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリキー''' ''Kairiky'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Machoke}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Machop}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Machamp is a bipedal Pokémon and is notable for being extremely muscled and having four arms. Its skin color is bluish-gray and it has red colored eyes. On its head, there are three ridges right above it eyes, which are also right above its frog-like mouth. It has two arms on each side of its body, a pair located where its arms were in its pre-evolved form, and another pair directly above that attached at the top of the shoulder. It wears a leg-less black girdle along with the power-save belt that it wore as a Machoke. Its legs are also quite muscled and its feet only have two toes.

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

====Special abilities====
It punches extremely fast and is known to have mastered every form of martial arts. The maximum amount of punches they can throw in a few seconds is approximately one thousand. Its {{m|Seismic Toss|attacks}} send foes flying over the horizon. With only one hand, it can {{m|Strength|move a mountain}}. It can hit from a multitude of angles, due to its four arms. However, it has bad dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms getting tangled.

===Behavior===

Trying to do any work requiring care and dexterity causes Machamp's arms to get tangled. Machamp tends to leap into action before it thinks.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Machamp live in mountains, in forbidding areas where they can hone their skills.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Machamp anime.jpg|right|thumb|Machamp in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
[[Giovanni]], the leader of [[Team Rocket]] and the former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]], has a Machamp. He loaned it to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} after he put them in charge of the [[gym]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A Machamp is used in the Sumo contest in ''[[EP194|The Ring Masters]]''. It loses to [[Ash's Snorlax]] in the semifinals.

===Minor Appearances===
A Machamp was used by [[Raymond]] to battle [[Ash's Squirtle]] during the opening of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Morrison]] battled against a Machamp belonging to a very muscular Trainer named [[Gavin]] during the Hoenn League in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. Morrison's {{p|Gligar}} managed to defeat Gavin's Machamp.

A Machamp belonging to {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

In ''[[AG140|Sitting Psyduck]]'', {{ka|Emily}} used Machamp and its two pre-evolved forms to chase after her runaway {{p|Psyduck}}.

Several Machamp and Machoke appear as construction workers in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.

A Machamp was used by one of the participants of [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Blue}} has a Machamp that evolved when it was under {{adv|Red}}'s ownership, reflecting Machoke's evolution being triggered by [[trade]]. It was later seen in {{PAV|3}}, fighting Red's {{p|Snorlax}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], blocking its attacks and even managing to lift its huge bulk. Ultimately, Machamp was knocked out after Snorlax came back with an aerial {{m|Double-Edge}}.

Machamp was also one of the Pokémon used by [[Chuck]] against Blue's {{p|Rhydon}} in {{PAV|13}}.

Blue later brings Machamp to the [[Sevii Islands]], in which Machamp makes extremely short work of Red's Snorlax during the training session on [[Boon Island|Two Island]].

==Trivia==
* Machamp's original English name was "Ju-Doh."
* Machamp is one of the three Pokémon having a total of four arms. The others are {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Ledian}}.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, a NPC will trade a {{p|Machoke}} for {{p|Cubone}}, which will then evolve to Machamp. This is the only time an [[List of in-game trades|NPC trade]] will result in an evolution in a game released outside of Japan.
**If the player uses breeding in a [[Generation II]] game to acquire a Level 5 Cubone and trades it to Yellow, the player can then trade it to the NPC and acquire a legal level 5 Machamp.
* Despite being the ''Superpower'' Pokémon, Machamp could not learn {{m|Superpower|the move itself}} until {{game|Platinum}}.
** It has, however, always been able to learn the move {{m|Strength}}, which shares its Japanese name with Machamp's species name.
*Machamp could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by [[trading]], and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}.
* Machamp is tied with {{p|Breloom}} for having the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
===Origin===
Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by {{wp|Kintaro (Mortal Kombat)|Kintaro}}, a boss character from {{wp|Mortal Kombat II}}. Seeing as it has more than two arms, and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps {{wp|Shiva}} or {{wp|Vishnu}}. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Tienshinhan, a character from the Dragonball Series, in the series, Tienshinhan has the ability to grow an additional set of arms. Machamp may be based partially on {{wp|Kinnikuman}}, a character from a manga series by the same name. Like Machamp, Kinnikuman is a wrestler and notably has big lips, akin to Machamp's, as well as a spike on in his head that resembles the ones Machamp has as well.
====Name origin====
Machamp's name may be a combination of ''champion'' and ''macho'', which is {{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for overly masculine or chauvinist. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Unlike {{p|Mr. Mime}}, this is reflected in the gender distribution, as 75% of all Machamp are male. ''Kairiky'' is a corruption of 怪力 ''kairiki'', superhuman strength. It is worth noting that ''kairiki'' is the Japanese name of {{m|Strength}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Machomei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mackogneur - ''Macho'' has a similar meaning as in English, ''cogneur'' (slugger). The ''ch'' was likely replaced by the ''ck'' to keep the sound of ''cogneur'' intact.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 괴력몬 ''Gwiryeokmon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 怪力 - Literally "strange strength".

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキドユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Okido'', ''Ōkido-Hakase'' and ''Orchid'' are also seen) is a [[Pokémon Professor]] who lives and works at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] in [[Pallet Town]]. According to Professor Elm, Oak concentrates on Pokémon and human relationships as a profession. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''[[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon Prof.]]''', however it is impossible to battle him during normal gameplay.

===In Generation I and Generation III===
Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] with his aides. He gave {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Leaf}} their first Starter Pokémon in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. He is an idol to many Trainers and researchers, including [[Professor Elm]], and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of [[Agatha]]. They remained good friends (some speculate that they were a couple) and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the [[Pokémon League]] as an adviser.

[[Image:Wild_Prof._Oak.JPG|thumb|right|Prof. Oak as a [[Glitch Trainer]] in [[Generation I]]]]In the [[Generation I]] games there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that Oak was originally going to be able to be battled. In the data, Oak has Level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, Level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, Level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, Level 70 {{p|Gyarados}} and one of the Kanto {{pkmn2|starter}}s at Level 69. This places his strength on-par with the player's rival and the Pokémon League champion. As well, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by the champion, only higher level, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer. This is supported by an email on the PC in Oak's lab, from the Pokémon League issuing a challenge to all Trainers, then specifically requesting Oak to come visit them. The only known way to battle Oak is to use a special stat of 226 with the [[Mew glitch]], or [[cheating|cheat]].

===In Generation II and IV===
====Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver====
Professor Oak was always well-known in [[Kanto]] but in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} he became more of a celebrity, a "star Pokémon Researcher", then. He started to be famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first but Mary's energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Kotone}} first met him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young Trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only finest Pokémon Trainers may enter, after the player has earned all the badges in Johto and later Kanto. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he will give the player one of either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} for obtaining all sixteen [[badge]]s. He also gives the player {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to assist the them in navigation through [[Mt. Silver]]. In [[Generation IV]], he will also give the player the National Pokédex before boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]].

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is [[Kurt]], a [[Poké Ball]] smith from [[Azalea Town]] and another is [[Professor Elm]] who used to be Oak's assistant. In fact, there is an email addressed to him from Professor Elm:
[[File:Gold Silver Professor Oak.png|thumb|right|100px|Oak artwork from [[Generation II]]]]
[[File:Mr. Pokemon's House.png|thumb|left|Oak with [[Gold (game)|Gold]] and Mr. Pokémon in [[Generation IV]]]]
:"''...
:''<sc>Prof. Oak</sc>, how is your research
:''coming along? I'm still plugging
:''away. I heard rumors
:''that {{player|<name>}} is
:''getting quite a reputation.
:''I'm delighted to hear that.
:''<sc>Elm</sc> in <sc>[[New Bark Town]]</sc> 8-)''"

It should be noted that this is the first time that {{wp|Internet slang}} is used in a Pokémon game.

Professor Oak has gained many fans and admirers. One of them is [[School Kid|Schoolboy]] Chad, who frequently calls the player to share trivia about Oak.

====Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces Trainers to [[Pal Park]], and gives them the [[National Pokédex]], as well as the [[Up-Grade]], [[Poké Radar]] and the function {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter}} of the [[Pokétch]]. [[Oak's Letter|A letter]] that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}. An aide in Rowan's laboratory mentions that Oak is Rowan's junior in terms of seniority. In Platinum, after providing the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}, Professor Oak will talk about the [[legendary birds]] and say that they have been sighted in [[Sinnoh]]. From this point {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will be visible roaming on the map.

==In the anime ==
[[File:Professor Oak animeart.png|thumb|left|Professor Oak anime art]]
[[File:Professor Oak anime.png|220px|thumb|right|Professor Oak in the anime]]
In the anime, Oak is most notable for his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|vast research facility]], where he cares for and studies hundreds of Pokémon, including those owned by, but not currently traveling with, Trainers from [[Pallet Town]]. His often-forgetful attitude and other antics are also notorious. He also has a hobby of composing [[Pokémon senryū|haiku-like poems]] about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes.

Prof. Oak lives up the road from {{Delia|Ash's mother}} and the two often appear together as they are good friends. He currently lives with [[Tracey Sketchit]], who became his loyal assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''. Tracey and Prof. Oak are very passionate about studying [[Pokémon]] and are both artists. He has confidence in his grandson, [[Gary Oak]], but more often joins {{Ash}}'s mother and friends in cheering on Ash in his competitions.

Oak is sometimes the candidate speculated to be Ash's father, along with [[Giovanni]] and {{an|Silver}}.

In the novelizations written by [[Takeshi Shudō]], Professor Oak comes from a prestigious family. He has two brothers, one is the mayor of Pallet Town and the other is the Post Master, and his grandfather was the first Trainer from Pallet Town to receive widespread recognition. According to Professor Elm, Professor Oak's studies and research mostly focus on how humans and Pokémon interact with each other.

He is an old friend of many other [[Pokémon Professor]]s, including {{prof|Ivy}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}} and {{prof|Rowan}}.

{{spoilers}}
[[Image:Sammy.png||150px|thumb|right|Sammy Oak]]
He appears as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in the fourth [[Pokémon movie|film]], ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. [[Ash Ketchum]] befriends the young Oak, who, due to traveling from 40 years in the past, is around the same age as him. The revelation that Sam ''is'' Oak, while able to be speculated because Oak's first name was revealed in ''[[The Power of One]]'', comes only at the end of the movie, when Oak knows that Ash's friend's name was Sam despite Ash never telling him so, and Tracey finding the sketchbook in which young Sam drew Pikachu sleeping with Celebi in Oak's closet.

In the movie, Sam saw many Generation II Pokémon, notably the legendary Pokémon {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}, though his Pokédex only catalogs the Generation I Pokémon, claiming that they are all the Pokémon that the world knows, in the Kanto arc. This discrepancy is likely due to the {{wp|retcon}} that occurred when the 100 new Pokémon were introduced to the series, and due to the ever-increasing number of Pokémon, with Pokémon from [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation IV]] being able to be trained in Kanto during FireRed and LeafGreen and HeartGold and SoulSilver, this is likely the reason that the number of them as of the current generation of games is no longer mentioned in the anime.

==In sidegames==
Professor Oak also was one of the two human characters appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. He was working on a {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}} for the Pokémon species of [[Pokémon Island]], and hired [[Todd Snap|Todd]] to take pictures for the report. He provided Todd with the [[ZERO-ONE]] and its [[Dash Engine]] upgrade, [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and a [[Poké Flute]]. When Todd took a picture of each of the [[Pokémon Signs]], Professor Oak drew a connection between them and the {{pkmn|constellations}} to determine that {{p|Mew}} must be on [[Rainbow Cloud]].

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:PSOak.JPG|thumb|right|Professor Oak in ''[[Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'']]
Although Professor Oak's first mention was in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' in a conversation between {{adv|Red}} and some Pallet Town children, his debut was in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where Red had wandered into [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] and was immediately accused of being a thief. In his haste, Red accidentally released all the Pokémon in the lab, including Bulbasaur, causing the two to track them down and re-capture them. After being saved by Red from a {{p|Machoke}} attack in [[Viridian City]], Oak gave Red the Bulbasaur and a Pokédex. The professor also makes appearances in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', talking about [[Team Rocket]]'s experiments.He was then kidnapped by Team Rocket to force him to help them with their experiments, although he refused and they resorted to trying to use {{adv|Blue}} to convince him, who later saves him. Oak later appears in Volume 3 to battle {{adv|Green}} under the alias "Doctor O" and reveals Green's phobia of Flying-type Pokémon and her theft of Squirtle. However, he shows compassion by giving her the last Pokédex and forfeiting his position in the [[Pokémon League]]. He then forfeits after telling her that he has already won a championship.

In the Yellow Chapter he was talking with Misty about Red's mysterious disappearance when [[Pika]] wanders into the lab seriously injured. Yellow then barges into his lab uninvited. He then makes her battle him with his Spearow and is impressed how she defeats him without harming either Pokémonm, giving Yellow his trust and as such he allows Yellow to take Pika and Red's Pokédex. He then sends letters to Blue instead of more advanced communication so nobody can track them. This was decided upon after Blue's encounter with [[Agatha]] of the Elite Four when she wanted to kill him after learning that he was Oak's grandson, although Blue was still unsure of how the two knew each other.

In the GSC Saga, Oak is now known as the leading authority on Pokémon in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] and has developed the three new Pokédexes. The first was stolen by {{adv|Silver}}, the second and third he gave to {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}}. During the battle with the [[Masked Man]], he gave out the titles to the six Pokédex holders and {{adv|Yellow}}. At the end, he employed Crystal as his assistant and thanks to her, the Pokédex had been filled and he owned all non-legendary Pokémon for his research.

In the FRLG Saga, Oak was captured by the [[The Three Beasts]] to lure Red, {{adv|Blue}} and Green to the Sevii Islands; but not before he recalled their three Pokédexes. After he was freed at {{ga|Trainer Tower}}, Oak upgraded the Pokédexes to add the National Pokédex capability.

One of Professor Oak's projects was a full analysis of a report holding all information on the last awakening of {{p|Jirachi}}. From this, he worked out that it would appear where the Battle Frontier was being built during its opening week. He immediately contacted [[Scott]] and, while he would not move the opening, Professor Oak managed to convince Scott to allow a Pokédex holder to guard Jirachi. This was {{adv|Emerald}}. However, someone stole the disc with all the data from Professor Oak's lab.

His relationship with Agatha was also revealed when the two were younger. Oak defeated Agatha in the finals for the Pokémon Championship and Agatha met him after the battle and asked why he quit their "research group". He explained that he wanted to create the Pokédex, which she thought was a stupid idea that would never be complete, and a battle ensued. Oak barely won after a battle that lasted several hours, with Agatha swearing a personal vendetta over him and anyone who associates with him.

'''Duels of the Jungle!''' (Japanese: '''襲撃！はぐれマニューラ!!''' ''Attack! The Stray {{tt|Manyula|Weavile}}!!'') is the 185th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 459th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 27, 2006, and in the United States on January 13, 2007.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|friends}} walking through the woods. Ash kept his {{AP|Aipom}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. Ash was ready and raring to go to fight {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} of the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}. Finally, after a long while in the woods, Ash and the others made it out and to a field. [[Max]] claims that he hasn't seen the sun for a while.

Everyone decides to take a rest while Aipom and Pikachu run off to play. Aipom, interested in the flowers, wanders off and gets lost. A fierce wind blows as Aipom comes face-to-face with a wild {{p|Weavile}}. The Weavile challenges Aipom to a [[Pokémon Battle|battle]] and proceeds to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. An explosion alerts the gang that Aipom is in trouble. Once the gang catches up to Aipom, {{an|May}} scans the Weavile with her [[Pokédex]]. Ash asks if the Weavile wants to battle, to which it replies with another Shadow Ball at the gang. The gang moves out of harms way, only to be attacked by another Shadow Ball.

Ash angrily battles the Weavile, making his Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Weavile dodges the attack swiftly and uses yet another Shadow Ball. Pikachu was ordered to dodge, but got caught in the explosion. Aipom quickly covers for Pikachu. Ash tells Aipom to use {{m|Swift}}. Weavile, oddly, dodges the attack. On his feet, Ash told Aipom to use {{m|Double Team}} and go into another Swift. Once Aipom was close enough, she used Swift again. Still, Weavile is able to dodge it. It goes straight into a Shadow Ball attack, strangely enough hurting Aipom. Aipom was immediately knocked out.

The gang looked to see Weavile was gone. A man ran over, asking if they were okay. He saw Aipom and said he had a hut in the woods; a nice place for Aipom to rest. The gang followed him.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] were eating their rice balls, watching the whole thing. {{MTR}} said it'd be best if they stayed away from the Weavile, but [[Jessie]] had other plans. She was eager to catch it. Meowth claimed that they were going to give it to [[Giovanni|the boss]], but Jessie wanted it all to herself. Angrily, claimed he wanted to fight the Weavile himself.

The episode switches to a small cabin in the woods. The man from earlier introduces himself as [[Kerrigan]], part of the Wilderness Guard Core. He's the one that watches over the forest. After the gang introduces themselves, they inquire about the Weavile. Kerrigan says the Weavile is a stray and that there is a gang of both Weavile and {{p|Sneasel}}. He claims that Weavile had left the group and now challenges random {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to battle it. Kerrigan decides it'd be best if he went outside and searched around. The gang decides to tag along, leaving Aipom to rest after her harsh battle.

The episode switches to the stray Weavile. It begins to have a flashback about it and a female Sneasel in the rain. It seemed to have come from a harsh battle, limping away. After the flashback, Weavile jumps down from the tree it was in and runs off.

Meanwhile, the gang and Kerrigan are searching for Weavile. They come to a spot where Kerrigan says he's seen Weavile many times. When there are no Weavile in sight, Max gets an idea to use Pikachu to sniff out the Weavile. Pikachu sniffs the air and runs off with the gang right behind.

Again, the episode goes back to the stray Weavile, looking in a river and watching its reflection. Meowth approaches the Weavile dressed as a fellow Weavile. Jessie and [[James]] watch as Meowth talks to the Weavile. Weavile doesn't seem to buy that Meowth is a fellow Weavile at all, even smacking his hand away when Meowth wanted to shake. Weavile seemed to threaten Meowth as Meowth ran away nervously. Meowth says that the Weavile threatened to use Meowth as a target. Jessie, unsatisfied with Meowth's claims, angrily threatens to do worse to Meowth if he didn't get back out there and talk to the Weavile. Before Meowth can react, the gang shows up. Pikachu runs over to Weavile and begins to talk to it.

Meowth then translates for Jessie and James, saying that Pikachu asked what Weavile was doing, to which Weavile replied that it didn't need to answer that question. After that, Meowth couldn't follow. Jessie angrily stood up, yelling at Meowth and revealing their position to the gang. After their motto, Jessie throws herself at Weavile's feet.

Soon, a Sneasel runs over, happy to see the stray Weavile. Meowth begins to translate their conversation. Weavile asks the Sneasel why she had followed it, to which Sneasel replies that she wasn't following the Weavile, she was escaping from the rogue Weavile that that particular stray Weavile had fought with for leadership. A flashback shows the fierce battle between the two Weavile and shows how the stray had gotten those three scars on its cheek. Weavile had lost and that was why it became a stray.

Weavile claimed that its motives behind attacking the random trainers was to be big and tough and show everyone what its made of. The female Sneasel was sick of being pushed around by the rogue Weavile, which turned out to be extremely mean, so she ran away from the group. Immediately following the speech, the rogue Weavile shows up. The Sneasel cowers behind the stray Weavile, to which Jessie responded that the Weavile was hers. Weavile, angered by her, blasted her and the other two away with a Shadow Ball.

With some encouraging words from Ash, the battle between the four Weavile and the stray Weavile ensued. First, the three Weavile attacked, but were in turn attacked by Ash's Pikachu. The rogue Weavile looked angry and attacked the stray. The battle begun with both Weavile running along the river bank. The rogue used Shadow Ball. This was easily dodged by the stray who also used Shadow Ball. The Shadow Ball hit the water, splashing it up between the two. The rogue Weavile came through the water and tried to {{m|slash}} Weavile's face with its claws. Weavile was able to block the attack with its own claws and send the rogue Weavile flying into the water. It then used Shadow Ball where the rogue splashed into the river.

Unfortunately, the other Weavile was able to escape. It used Shadow Ball on the stray Weavile. Weavile remembered its previous battle with the rogue Weavile and knew it was planning on using the Shadow Ball as a distraction to scratch Weavile's face. Weavile dodged the Shadow Ball and saw the Weavile coming at it, but was able to use its claws to the throw the rogue away. Weavile landed on the ground beside the riverbank. The stray jumped on top of the rogue Weavile and thrust its claws at it. The rogue thought it was over and tightly shut its eyes. Without feeling an impact, the rogue looked up to see the stray's claws were only right above its face. The stray had regained its place as the leader.

Both the new leader and the rogue Weavile made a truce with Sneasel's help. The Weavile, after thanking Ash, walked off in peace to go back to their group.

Ash and friends went back to the cabin, finding a fully recovered Aipom. The gang said goodbye to Kerrigan. Aipom happily ran off, to which Ash said 'that Aipom's nuts'. They soon chased after Aipom, happily going to the Battle Pyramid.

Talk:Sandgem Town

2009-11-23T11:24:40Z

EmptyBlueBox: /* Mass Outbreak */

Oh, my! Source!!!! Where does ''Sandgem Town'' come from??? - [[User:Mitsumasa|Mitsumasa]] 19:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
:This morning's new episode of Pokémon, ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 20:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
::Does it directly refer to this city as "Sandgem"? - [[User:Mitsumasa|Mitsumasa]] 20:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, it does. - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] 22:24, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

::::He is right, it does. [[User:Carnivine|Carnivine]] 5 March 2007

:::::In the Episode Home is where the Start is, right before ash leaves for Sinnoh Oak asks him to go to Sandgem Town and see Rowan. [[User:DSDark|DSDark]] 6 March 2007

==Music==

In the trivia section, i said that the beginning of Sandgem Town's music was a remix of Goldenrod City, but that was false. The first four notes of the song match that of Goldenrod City's music, and the seven notes after that match notes 6-12 of Petalburg City's music, so I updated that article to state it correctly. [[User:Igglybuff63|Igglybuff63]] 11:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I think that these examples are far too small to merit anything even close to a remix. This is most likely purely coincidental and just an example of Jun'ichi Masuda's trademark compositional style. The first four notes are also the same as that of Slateport City, but I don't think any of that is notable enough to mention in trivia. Rather than deleting this specific trivia, I modified it to be more specific, and use the word 'quote' rather than 'remix' to avoid conflict. [[User:Maxo|Maxo]] 03:29, 24 September (UTC)

==Mass Outbreak==

ok, so I have acquired the National Pokédex (although through trading and levelling up, not beating the Elite 4) and whenever I talk to the little sister, all I get is "Who are you? Oh.. You're *name*? You're doing that Pokédex thingy for the professor! Wow! That's the same as my big brother/sister! Go for it!" every time I talk to her. So there needs to be another condition met?
I also haven't seen any Mass Outbreak info on TV. {{SUBST::User:ZaphodBeeblebrox/sig}} 13:06, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
:I think you need to defeat the Elite 4 as well. I'm not sure enough to change the article though. [[User:EmptyBlueBox|EmptyBlueBox]] 11:24, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon Adventures

2009-11-22T04:33:08Z

EmptyBlueBox: /* FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Volume 22~26) */

{{redirect|Pokémon Special|the special episodes in the [[Pokémon anime]]|List of anime specials}}

'''Pokémon Adventures''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター'''☆'''SPECIAL''' ''Pocket Monsters ☆ SPECIAL'') is a {{pkmn|manga}} series authored by 日下秀憲 ''[[Hidenori Kusaka]]''. It was illustrated by 真斗 ''[[Mato]]'' for the first nine volumes and starting from [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|volume 10]] it has been illustrated by 山本サトシ ''[[Satoshi Yamamoto]]''. It is published by [[Shōgakukan]] under the Ladybird Comics Special series.

It is popularly known as '''Pokémon Special''' even outside of Japan, and often shortened as PokéSpe (Japanese: ポケスペ ''PokeSupe'').

Unlike the anime, which, though drawing much inspiration from the games, does not follow them exactly, Pokémon Adventures is a mostly game-based manga, with the thirteen main characters taking their names from the [[main series]] games, and their various adventures tending to stay restricted to their home [[region]]. Also unlike the anime, which has gone to great lengths to indicate the danger of a [[legendary Pokémon]] being captured, the main characters of Pokémon Adventures have captured and sometimes use their own legendaries, much as the {{player}} can in the games. Pokémon Adventures also contains darker elements than other media, including certain characters and some Pokémon actually dying.

The series was translated into English and published in the United States by [[VIZ Media]]; however, publication stopped after the {{chap|Yellow}}. As of June 2009, VIZ began re-releasing the series from volume 1. Unlike the original English releases, which read from left-to-right like Western comics and had the art mirrored from the Japanese releases, these re-released volumes retain the original format, with the pages going from right-to-left and the art being unmodified.

On October 26, 2009, it was announced that Gakunen magazine Grade 5 and Grade 6 (at the time serializing the Diamond & Pearl chapter) would cease publication at the end of the fiscal year. The fate of the manga is as of yet unconfirmed, though the editorial department is trying to find an alternative means of publication.

Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] is quoted as stating, "This is the comic that most resembles the world I was trying to convey."<ref name="tajiri">[http://web.archive.org/web/20021215144736/www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/characters.html]</ref> Game producer [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] also praises the series, saying, "I want every Pokémon fan to read this comic!".<ref name="ishihara">[http://www.viz.com/products/products.php?series_id=497]</ref>

==Story arcs==
The various {{adv|chapter}}s of Pokémon Adventures span the four [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]] so far. These chapters are named typically for the games they correspond to; however, the protagonists of each chapter typically also share these names.

===Red, Green & Blue chapter (Volume 1~3)===
{{main|Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)}}

The first chapter of Pokémon Adventures, much like the first games, chronicles the journeys of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} across the [[Kanto]] region, conquering its eight [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Later, a third Trainer, {{adv|Green}}, comes into the plot. Together, the three defeat [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization that uses Pokémon for illegal things. Red also helps [[Blaine]] to capture {{p|Mewtwo}} and saves {{adv|Yellow|a young girl}} from [[wild Pokémon]] in [[Viridian Forest]]. In the end, as in the games, Red defeats Blue in the Pokémon League.

This chapter consists of the first three volumes of the manga.

===Yellow chapter (Volume 4~7)===
{{main|Yellow chapter (Adventures)}}

The Yellow chapter starts two years after {{adv|Red}} obtains his title of the Champion in the [[Pokémon League]]. {{adv|Red}} disappears for one month after he leaves to answer a challenge from someone named [[Bruno]]. One day, [[Professor Oak]] discovers Red's {{P|Pikachu}}, Pika, injured at his doorstep. Soon after the arrival of Pika, a young trainer comes into the Professor's lab. The trainer, {{adv|Yellow}}, claims that "he" is a friend of {{adv|Red}} and wishes to look for him with Pika. While [[Professor Oak]] is still skeptical about Yellow, especially about "his" ability of healing and sensing Pokémon's emotions, he eventually entrusts this mission and Red's upgraded [[Pokédex]] to the young trainer. However, this event only triggers the revelation of a larger secret as Yellow is repeatedly attacked by members of the [[Elite Four]].

===Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Volume 8~15)===
[[File:Manga characters.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Adventures main characters up to the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}]]
{{main|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)}}

As peace is returning to [[Kanto]], new journeys and happenings are beginning in another region, [[Johto]]. {{adv|Gold}} was enjoying his normal life with his family Pokémon, who have been with him since birth, until he ran into a Pokémon thief at [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. As he goes on a journey of chasing the thief, {{adv|Silver}}, with a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm and [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], he stumbles upon the secret plots of the [[Masked Man]]. At the same time, [[Professor Oak]] sends out a "Pokémon Capture Professional", {{adv|Crystal}}, on a journey of completing the Pokédex. She gets involved in [[Eusine]]'s plans to capture {{p|Suicune}} and tries to do so herself. Soon after, she also gets involved with the plots of Masked Man, who is apparently after the two legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. The more shocking revelation follows: this Masked Man is actually one of the 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of the combined Kanto-Johto area!

===Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Volume 15~22)===
{{main|Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)}}

Things have just settled down in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but another new region coming on screen. This chapter is about the "rivalry" of {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, who are trying to conquer all the [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Gym]]s in [[Hoenn]] respectively within the span of 80 days. Just like their counterparts in Kanto and Johto, they encounter two evil organizations, the land-loving [[Team Magma]] and sea-loving [[Team Aqua]]. However, on top of their gym battles and Pokémon contests, the two teams and the balance of nature, Sapphire and Ruby have to worry about something else, too: their feelings for each other...

===FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Volume 22~26)===
{{main|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)}}

The FRLG series continues the series featuring the characters Red and Blue as they are forced to explore the [[Sevii Islands]] to look for [[Professor Oak]] who got kidnapped by a {{p|Deoxys}}. Meanwhile, {{adv|Green}} has finally located her parents, but as she is about to meet them, they get swallowed up by a mysterious black hole. Red, Green, and Blue must locate the missing relatives with the help of a former foe, [[Lorelei]], the psychic mutant, {{p|Mewtwo}} and a mysterious old lady, [[Kiwame]], while defeating [[Team Rocket]] again at the same time. Back in [[Kanto]], {{adv|Silver}} is seeking his parents as well, with the help of {{adv|Yellow}}. He is soon shocked by the revelation of who his father really is...

===Emerald chapter (Volume 26~29)===
{{main|Emerald chapter (Adventures)}}

The Grand opening of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} takes an unexpected twist when {{adv|Emerald}} appears on the scene. Now he must conquer the seven facilities in seven days. With a seemingly unmatched ability at battles and access to every Pokémon {{adv|Crystal}} has ever caught, the mysterious stranger that attacks [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] and is seeking {{p|Jirachi}}, [[Guile Hideout]], may be more of a worry, especially if he catches Jirachi first...

===Diamond & Pearl chapter (Volume 30~?)===
{{main|Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)}}

An important family from the region of [[Sinnoh]] sends their last descendant {{adv|Platinum}} on a special mission with two [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]]. Platinum instead meets with {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}}, who coincidentally match the description given to her (two boys in scarves, one in red, the other in green). They join her, believing that by accompanying her to [[Mt. Coronet]] they will win a prize from her family, but it won't be easy.

===Platinum chapter (Volume ?~?)===
{{main|Platinum chapter (Adventures)}}
The chapter follows Lady {{adv|Platinum}} Berlitz as she enters the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} as well as [[Looker]], who is investigating information on the [[Distortion World]].

==Trivia==
*A lot of the art in Pokémon Adventures is based on the original concept works from the games. For example:
**In in the Red, Green, and Blue chapter, Charmander is drawn with spikes on its back
**Hitmonlee has arms that can stretch like springs in the Yellow chapter
**Green's character design appears to be based on a [[Ken Sugimori]] illustration of {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and an [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|unnamed, unused female trainer]].
*Throughout the series, every protagonist starts out with a Pokémon other than the traditional starter Pokémon that are chosen in the games. However, each protagonist eventually gets one, near the start of the chapter

'''Green''' (Japanese: '''ブルー''' ''Blue'') is the third main character of the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Her first [[Pokémon]] was a {{p|Jigglypuff}}. As a young child, she was kidnapped by {{p|Ho-Oh}} and raised by the evil [[Mask of Ice]], where she met and became close with {{adv|Silver}}. (This kidnapping led to her {{wp|ornithophobia}}, which is not cured until the end of the GSC Saga.) The two of them escaped, and Green went to [[Kanto]], where she stole [[Professor Oak]]'s {{p|Squirtle}}.

Green is quite cunning and quick-witted. She can talk others into believing a bold-faced lie and talk her way out of many tight situations. At one point, she convinces {{adv|Red}} to buy a bunch of useless items for [[Pika|his Pikachu]]. Green is also a master of disguise, she uses her {{p|Ditto}} as a mask and is able to make herself look like anyone she wants.

Green's special skill, as defined by Professor Oak, is [[evolution|evolving]]; she is known as the '''"Evolver'''" (化える者 ''Evolver''). However, until recently she refrained from evolving her Pokémon, because she preferred to lull her opponents into a false sense of security by using unevolved "cute" Pokémon. The special skills of Green and Silver are homophonous in Japanese.

The original Green was designed after the early sketches for a [[Lass]] and a female protagonist shown in early concept art for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, however, the idea of choosing the character's gender was unable to be implemented until {{game|Crystal}} due to the limitations of the game card. When {{ga|Leaf}} finally appeared in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Green changed her clothes to match.

==Character history==
===Past===
Five years before the Red, Green & Blue chapter, Green was kidnapped by Mask of Ice's {{p|Ho-Oh}} when she was only five years old. Mask of Ice gave her a Jigglypuff. There she met {{adv|Silver}} and made friends with him. Few years later, the two kids escaped from the Mask of Ice Hideout.

==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Blue Special RGB.png|thumb|right|Green's original design]]
[[Image:Manga Special Blue.png|thumb|left|Green in the first chapter]]
Green first met Red and tried to scam him out of his money by selling fake items. Red hunted her down to reclaim his money, but she used this opportunity to steal his [[badge]]s. Then Red learned that her Squirtle was stolen from Professor Oak.

Later, she reveals that she was kidnapped by Ho-Oh as a child, and was in fact originally from [[Pallet Town]]. She has ornithophobia and is afraid of {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon because of this.

Green eventually ends up as rival to [[Sabrina]], and helps Red and Green defeat the Team Rocket's admins—[[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]].

Afterwards, she manages to get into the 9th Pokémon League tournament without badges by making it through special qualifying elimination rounds. Green makes it to fourth place, but is defeated by Professor Oak, who uses her fear of birds against her by using a team of Flying-type Pokémon to defeat her. She confesses to Professor Oak who forgives her for stealing Squirtle and gives her the last [[Pokédex]].

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
Green trains {{adv|Yellow}} and gives Yellow her boy disguise, and sends her off to save Red. She believes the Elite Four were controlling Ho-Oh, so carries a grudge against them. However, she eventually learns she was wrong and resolves to return to [[Johto]].

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
Green reappears late in the storyline, when her relationship with Silver is disclosed. She and Silver escaped from the Mask of Ice, who used Ho-Oh and {{p|Lugia}} to kidnap her along with [[Will]], [[Chermaine]], [[Karen]], and [[Keane]] to be his servants. Green confronts Ho-Oh and finally overcomes her ornithophobia, and uses the [[legendary birds]] to help defeat the Mask of Ice.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
More of Green's past is revealed in this chapter including how she, along with {{adv|Silver}} [[PS268|managed to escape]] from the clutches of the [[Mask of Ice]]. She finally learns that her parents have moved to the [[Sevii Islands]] and resolves to reunite with them. Before she can, both they and Professor Oak are kidnapped by {{p|Deoxys}}. Here, her Pokémon finally evolve to their final stages and her Blastoise learns the legendary {{type2|Water}} move - {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. At the end of this saga, she was turned to stone along with 4 other [[Pokédex Holder]]s.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
For most part of this chapter, she, along with four other Pokédex-holders, remained turned into stones. It was only at nearly the end of the chapter that she and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}.

==Pokémon==
Most of Green's Pokémon nicknames, with the exception of Puriri, contain syllables from the species' Japanese name, followed by a Japanese honorific. "Puriri" comes from Jigglypuff's Japanese name, Purin.

===On hand===
{{trainerpkmn|note=h|main=yes|nick=Blasty|Green|Blastiose|{{water color}}|Blasty2.PNG|Blasty is Green's main and "starter" Pokémon. It has fairly strong battle skills and the ability to hover in the air by blasting water at the ground. She has also trained it so its bubbles have special qualities, allowing her to carry encapsulated sound to instruct her other Pokémon. It was stolen as a {{p|Squirtle}} post the events of ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]''. Evoled into {{p|Wartortle}} prior to ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', and then into a {{p|Blastoise}} prior to ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]''}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|main=yes|nick=Ditty|Green|Ditto|{{normal color}}|Blueditto.PNG|Ditty is a Ditto Green uses. It's not that strong of a battler, but she uses it for masks and for tricking people (like [[Team Rocket]]).}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|main=no|Green|Wigglytuff|{{normal color}}|noimage.png|Wigglytuff is Green's Pokémon since early childhood. It can inflate itself and fly like a balloon, and serves as Green's usual means of transport.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|main=no|nick=Clefy|Green|Clefable|{{normal color}}|Clefy2.PNG|Green uses Clefy when she wants to use {{m|Metronome}} to perform unpredictable attacks. It first appeared in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''. It evolved with {{adv|Red}}'s {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. Once it evolved, it was able to hold off the [[Zapmolcuno|Legendary Bird hybrid]] for some time. In addition to Metronome, Clefy can use {{m|Growl}} and {{m|Minimize}}.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=|main=no|Green|Nidoqueen|{{poison color}}|noimage.png|Nidoqueen is a powerful Pokémon Green evolved in the Sevii Islands.}}

{{trainerpkmn|note=f|main=no|Green|Granbull|{{normal color}}|noimage.png|Granbull was left in Silver's care in exchange for Silver's Horsea. Later they traded back.}}

| align=center | [[Image:063.png]] {{p|Abra}} ♀
|}
* Green occasionally uses this Abra to {{m|Teleport}} herself around.

===Status unknown===
This is a listing of Pokémon, which Green caught but they were not listed in the all character Pokémon listings in the end of Volume 15. Since then, it's possible that Green released them.

| align=center | [[Image:146.png]] {{p|Moltres}}
|}

* '''Weedle''' - Green caught this Pokémon to try to trick someone into trading something better for it, but Red stopped her.
* '''Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres''' - Green caught these three birds in order to overcome her ornithophobia. They were not seen since the third chapter, which means she could have released them.

===Formerly owned===

| align=center | [[Image:116.png]] {{p|Horsea}} ♀

* Traded to {{adv|Silver}} for {{p|Snubbull}}.

==Trivia==
* Green's Pokémon were unnamed in Viz's American translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Their English nicknames were first used in Chuang Yi's translations of [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)|Sevii Island Arc]]. Surprisingly, her {{p|Jigglypuff}} didn't get an English nickname, (although she calls it "Jiggly" sometimes) for some reason.
* Before official nicknames of Green's Pokémon were released, [[Serebii.net#Staff|Coronis]] coined his own, which were often seen used by fandom. Coincidentally, Chuang Yi's nicknames were almost the same as Coronis's ones (except Blastoise and Jigglypuff).
* Her {{p|Snubbull}} (now a {{p|Granbull}}) got a gender change. In Volume 15 he's listed as male, while in Volume 24 she's listed as female.
* Green and {{adv|Blue}} are the only main Pokémon Adventures characters whose names were changed for the English translation. This is due to the complexity of [[Generation I]]'s game releases, where in Japan, Red Version was paired with Green Version (leaving Blue as the third), and in the rest of the world Red was paired with Blue (while there was no Green). Since she was not {{adv|Red}}'s rival, the translators did not see it fitting that she have her name be that of Red's "rival version."
** A panel in Volume 3 forgets to make this change, however. When the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and this girl is identified as "BLUE".
* Green is the only of the original 7 Pokédex holders that doesn't have any unevolved Pokémon on hand.
* Green is the oldest main character in Pokémon Adventures.

It first aired in Japan on May 21, 2009 and aired in the United States on October 17, 2009.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The episode picks up right after [[DP127|the previous one]] with [[Paul]] challenging [[Candice]] to a [[gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, but Candice mentions that she just finished with {{Ash}} and would like to reschedule for tomorrow. Paul agrees and begins to leave, but Ash shows off his [[badge]] and asks Paul how many more he has gotten, but Paul brushes him off and walks away. {{an|Dawn}} tells [[Zoey]] that Paul is Ash's [[rival]] while Candice notices how fierce this rivalry is compared to Dawn and Zoey.

As night falls on the [[Pokémon Center]], Zoey learns that Paul was {{AP|Chimchar}}'s [[Original trainer|original]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} and how Ash and Paul contrast so much. Dawn notices that Ash is missing as outside [[Paul's Magmar]] and {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} {{pkmn|training|train}}, Magmar firing {{m|Flamethrower}} at Electabuzz and towards the sky. Ash meets up with Paul and mentions how {{AP|Grotle}} perfected the defense strategy [[Paul's Torterra]] [[DP100|taught it]] and wanting to thank Torterra, but Paul recalls {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} and heads inside, cricizing Ash for his actions. Before he can get inside, Zoey confronts him, but Dawn holds her back. Paul heads inside without another word as Zoey hopes that Candice wipes him out in the battle.

The next day, [[Reggie]] drives by in a van, noticing Paul outside the Center. He pulls over and greets his brother. Inside, Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} notice Reggie as Dawn fills Zoey in. They head outside and greet Reggie, who mentions that he just dropped off a [[Pokémon]] he was caring for. Ash mentions that he won at the {{ci|Snowpoint}} [[Snowpoint Gym|Gym]]. Reggie congratulates him and asks Paul if he can watch the match, which Paul allows. Zoey notices how Paul contrasts to his brother as much as to Ash. A shock wave gets everyone's attention as a huge shadow passes by, everyone looking up and spotting the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pyramid}}. Ash identifies it, getting Reggie and Paul's attention. Paul is even more shocked at the fact that Ash [[AG190|conquered it]]. [[Team Rocket]] spots the Pyramid from the town while Candice watches from outside her gym.

Inside the Pyramid control room, [[Samuel]] relays a streaming video feed from Ash at the Pokémon Center, acknowledging their presence. As the Pyramid touches down in a clearing, Reggie drives Ash and his friends to the locatoin. Ash and [[Brock]] fill Dawn in on the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Kanto Battle Frontier]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s ranking position. Reggie confirms that the Pyramid was the only place he did not win, as well as the day he realized that he needed to learn more. They reach the Pyramid and meet up with Brandon. Brandon recognizes them all, even Paul, which prompts Paul to step forward and challenge Brandon to a battle. Candice arrives on a {{p|Dodrio}} as a jeep pulls out. Brandon introduces the woman getting out as Temple Maiden [[Maria]]. Brock instantly goes crazy, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{m|Poison Jab|calms him}}. Zoey fills everyone in about the [[Snowpoint Temple]] while Team Rocket listens in, Brandon mentioning that the Temple was his reason for coming to Sinnoh. Brandon tells Samuel to go with Maria to the Temple while he battles Paul. Paul reveals his desire to defeat the person his brother couldn't, not caring about everyone watching.

Inside, Brock offers to be the referee, but Paul turns it down, making it a [[full battle]]. Paul summons Magmar as Brandon summons {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regirock}}. Dawn checks her [[Pokédex]] as Reggie remembers that Paul watched his battle, Regirock being the same lead Pokémon. Paul went to Kanto first to watch Reggie's battle, the only obstacle Reggie needed to conquer in order to become a [[Frontier Brain]], but Brandon defeated Reggie without losing a Pokémon. Brandon instructed Reggie to refine his battle style and find his inner strength, which Paul also took on, making it the reason he wants to be strong. Paul immediately recalls Magmar and brings out {{p|Hariyama}}, which Dawn checks. The [[Elemental type|type]] matchup is positive as Regirock fires {{m|Stone Edge}}, but Hariyama blocks it easily. Hariyama charges forward and hits with multiple {{m|Arm Thrust}}s, but Regirock bear hugs Hariyama and uses {{m|Shock Wave}} at close range, causing it to stumble. Hariyama launches {{m|Force Palm}}, but Regirock dodges and lands a {{m|Focus Punch}}, [[Unable to battle|knocking it out]]. As Paul recalls Hariyama, everyone is awed at how strong Regirock is. Outside, Team Rocket tries to decide whether to climb the pyramid again or go to the temple. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} play rock paper scissors to decide, but it results in a tie.

Meanwhile, Paul summons Electabuzz. Ash [[DP015|predicts Paul's strategy]] as Electabuzz uses {{m|Brick Break}} to hit. Regirock fires Stone Edge, the attack so powerful that it even smashes through {{m|Protect}} before following up with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, taking down Electabuzz. Both recall their Pokémon, which benefits Brandon on not having to deal with Regirock being immobile after firing Hyper Beam. Brandon sends out {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Registeel}} as Paul brings Magmar back out. Magmar hits with a Flamethrower, but Registeel takes it without much falter and launches into an {{m|Iron Head}}. Magmar blocks it, but it {{status|flinching|flinches}}, negating the {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} order Paul gave. Paul recalls Magmar and deploys {{p|Nidoking}}. Registeel fires {{m|Flash Cannon}} and hits, but Nidoking uses {{m|Earth Power}}, hitting before launching into {{m|Double Kick}}. Registeel shows some fatigue but recovers, hitting with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} before using an Iron Head to knock out Nidoking.

Brandon questions Paul, but Paul rants about his desire to beat him after Reggie's failure and his inability to find his inner strength, his will being his driving force to win. Brandon questions Paul's reason for battling, but Paul doesn't answer, angrily bringing out {{p|Lairon}}. Brandon brings {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} out as Lairon uses {{m|Iron Defense}}. Regice {{status|frozen|freezes}} Lairon with {{m|Ice Beam}} before launching {{m|Zap Cannon}}, knocking out Lairon without it being able to attack. Paul's emotions grow more intense as he brings out {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, launching {{m|Hammer Arm}}. A Focus Punch blocks that and creates a massive backlash. Ursaring prepares {{m|Focus Blast}}, but another Zap Cannon stops that attack and {{status|paralysis|paralyzes}} Ursaring. Brandon brings Regirock back out as a Stone Edge attack wipes out Ursaring. Reggie notices that Paul did not give any orders to Ursaring as Paul brings out Magmar as his last, Candice mentioning that Paul has pretty much lost. Regirock easily endures Magmar's Flamethrower before using Shock Wave to knock out Magmar, giving Brandon a perfect victory over Paul. Brandon does praise Paul on raising his strong Pokémon but instructing him to control his emotions next time.

Outside, Team Rocket is still split on deciding where to go as James notices Ash and his friends exiting. Outside, Paul still plans to challenge Candice as Candice challenges Zoey to a battle. Candice and Zoey get on Dodrio as Candice wishes Dawn good luck in her next {{pkmn|Contest}} before leaving. Paul starts to leave but Reggie asks if Ash and Paul can have a full battle. Brandon agrees with the idea as both Ash and Paul agree to battle, Reggie setting the event at [[Lake Acuity]] in 10 days. Reggie and Paul leave as Samuel and Maria arrive, telling Brandon that a situation has occured at the temple.

==Major events==
* The group meets up once again with [[Reggie]], who suggests Paul and {{Ash}} have a battle in [[DP131|10 days]].
* Brandon is challenged by [[Paul]] to a {{pkmn|battle}}, which results in a loss for Paul.
* Paul is revealed to have obtained a {{p|Hariyama}}, a {{p|Nidoking}} and a {{p|Lairon}}.
* Paul learns that Ash has completed the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Kanto Battle Frontier]].

===Errors===
* Regirock's {{m|Stone Edge}} is able to hit Electabuzz through {{m|Protect}}, though nothing except {{m|Feint}} and {{m|Shadow Force}} can do this under normal conditions.

'''DoubleSlap''' (Japanese: '''おうふくビンタ''' ''Round Trip Slap'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I - III===
DoubleSlap inflicts damage and hits between 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Although only the first hit can critical hit, each hit per use will deal the same amount of damage.

DoubleSlap will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|Substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge one hit of a DoubleSlap attack.

Taking the average number of hits into account, DoubleSlap could be considered to have an effective power of 45.

===Generation IV===
Same as Generation I, however, it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.

'''Barrage''' (Japanese: '''たまなげ''' ''Ball Throw'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Exeggcute}} and {{p|Exeggutor}}.
==Effect==
===Generation I - III===
Barrage inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Though technically only the first hit can critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.

Barrage will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|Substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

Taking the average number of hits into account, Barrage could be considered to have an effective power of 45.

===Generation IV===
The effects of Barrage are similar to the previous generations; however, it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.

'''Croagunk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''グレッグル''' ''Gureggru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Toxicroak}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Croagunk resembles a dark blue bipedal frog, with a white band around its waist area and red and black markings on its hands and feet. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighter, and its jutting teeth make it appear to be wearing a mouthguard. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to {{status|Poison|poison}} opponents by stabbing them.
====Gender differences====
The two white stripes that run across Croagunk's abdomen will be higher up if it is a female.

====Special abilities====
Whenever its middle finger glows purple, it appears to be channeling its poison via its skin and onto its hand to use its {{t|Poison}} moves. Croagunk can have the ability {{a|Anticipation}} which makes the Croagunk shudder if the foe has a super effective, instant KOing move, or a move like {{m|Selfdestruct}}. Croagunk may also possess the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, allowing it to heal itself during rain or when hit by a {{t|Water}}-Type move.

===Behavior===

Croagunk are generally mischievous and mean. A few Croagunk, however are more comfortable being alone, simply staring at the views around them.

==Trivia==
*Croagunk's English name, along with numerous others, was released on 13th February 2007. Due to the poor quality of the image, it was believed its name was "Croalurk".
*Croagunk is the mascot of [[Pastoria City]].
*Croagunk and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to have the {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]], and as such, they are the only Pokémon to have a double weakness to {{t|Psychic}} attacks and are the only Poison-types to have any double weakness.
*Croagunk is one of few Pokémon to have its hand-held game sprite differ from its 3-D image. While in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} it is shown to have pink cheeks, its 3-D models show it with yellow-orange cheeks.
*In Platinum, no [[Captured Pokémon|Trainer's]] Croagunk has the ability {{a|Dry Skin}} outside of the {{si|Battle Frontier}}.
*Despite having "gunk" in its name, it can only learn {{m|Gunk Shot}} through the move tutor in Platinum.
*In Platinum, on occasions at the Pastoria [[Great Marsh]], if the player stands behind the Croagunk Wall with the their head sticking out of it, a wild Croagunk will come by and walk into the [[Great Marsh]] building.
===Origin===
Croagunk may have been based on the {{wp|poison dart frog}}.

====Name origin====
Croagunk is probably a combination of ''croak'' and ''gunk''. It also sounds very similar to ''shogun''. The Japanese name comes ケロケロ ''kerokero'', the Japanese onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking, and げろげろ ''gerogero'', the Japanese word that's used to describe something disgusting. It may also be derived from 汚れ ''yogore'', filth.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glibunkel - From ''Glibber'' (gunk) and ''Unke'' ({{wp|fire-bellied toad}}).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cradopaud - From ''crapaud'' (toad) and ''crado'', a familiar term for dirty.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 삐딱구리 ''Ppittakguri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 污泥蛙 ''Wu Ni Wa''

*Are not very effective against: {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Steel}}
*Have no effect against: {{t|Normal}}

Ghost-type Pokémon:
*Resist: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Poison}}
*Are weak to: {{t|Dark}}, '''Ghost'''
*Have immunity to: {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Normal}}

==Characteristics==
The Ghost-type is one of the smallest [[elemental types]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack called Curse, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move, works differently for Ghost-types than it does for other Pokémon.

Ghost Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like confusion or paralysis. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Ball}}.

It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost-type are covered by the resistances of the {{type2|Dark}}, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is also always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well, making for a weakness.

When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

In total, there are 18 Pokémon with the Ghost-type, making it the rarest of all types to be had by a Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Pure Ghost-type species were not introduced until [[Generation II]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon. This contradicts both official type charts published by Nintendo for their Red/Blue/Yellow strategy guides as well as the {{pkmn|anime}} where it was said that Ghost-types are the best type to fight Psychic-type Pokémon. It is the only elemental type to go from 0× effectiveness to 2× effectiveness on another type between generations.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an accuracy lower than 100%, as all of them have a 100% accuracy or are status moves which do not miss.
* Ghost-type Pokémon are the only {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} that can have more than one immunity.
* The Ghost-type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the Dragon-type. Coincidentally, {{p|Giratina}} is a combination of both types.
* All Ghost-type Pokémon which have a second type that is weak to Ground-type attacks have the {{a|Levitate}} ability, so there is no Ghost-type Pokémon that is weak to Ground-type attacks.
* Ghost and Dark are the only two types that are super-effective against the same types: Psychic and Ghost.
* Ghost is the least abundant type among Pokémon, with only 18 Pokémon of this type among the 493 total.
* So far, the only Ghost-type attack with a base power greater than 80 is {{m|Shadow Force}}, which is [[signature move|exclusive]] to {{p|Giratina}}.

'''Croagunk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''グレッグル''' ''Gureggru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Toxicroak}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Croagunk resembles a dark blue bipedal frog, with a white band around its waist area and red and black markings on its hands and feet. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighter, and its jutting teeth make it appear to be wearing a mouthguard. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to {{status|Poison|poison}} opponents by stabbing them.
====Gender differences====
The two white stripes that run across Croagunk's abdomen will be higher up if it is a female.

====Special abilities====
Whenever its middle finger glows purple, it appears to be channeling its poison via its skin and onto its hand to use its {{t|Poison}} moves. Croagunk can have the ability {{a|Anticipation}} which makes the Croagunk shudder if the foe has a super effective, instant KOing move, or a move like {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

===Behavior===

Croagunk are generally mischevous and mean. A few Croagunk, however are more comfortable being alone, simply staring at the views around them.

===Habitat===
Croagunk live in moist areas close to bodies of water.

==Trivia==
*Croagunk's English name, along with numerous others, was released on 13th February 2007. Due to the poor quality of the image, it was believed its name was "Croalurk".
*Croagunk is the mascot of [[Pastoria City]].
*Croagunk and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to have the {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]], and as such, they are the only Pokémon to have a double weakness to {{t|Psychic}} attacks.
**Croakunk and {{p|Toxicroak}} are the only Poison-types to have any double weakness.
*Croagunk is one of few Pokémon to have its hand-held game sprite differ from its 3-D image. While in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} it is shown to have pink cheeks, its 3-D sprites show it with yellow-orange cheeks.

===Origin===
Croagunk may have been based on the {{wp|poison dart frog}}.

====Name origin====
Croagunk is probably a combination of ''croak'' and ''gunk''. The Japanese name comes ケロケロ ''kerokero'', the Japanese onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking, and げろげろ ''gerogero'', the Japanese word that's used to describe something disgusting. It may also be derived from 汚れ ''yogore'', filth.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cradopaud - From ''crapaud'' (toad) and ''crado'', a familiar term for dirty.
