'''Crasher Wake''' (Japanese: '''マキシマム{{tt|仮面|かめん}}''' ''Maximum Mask''), otherwise known simply as '''Wake''' (Japanese: '''マキシ''' ''Maxi''), is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pastoria City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Pastoria Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Fen}} to [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Crasher Wake uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the {{Badge|Fen}}, {{TM|55|Brine}} and are able to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone to not take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use {{m|Defog}} to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.

He later appears in the [[Battle Zone]], talking to the player's [[rival]], {{ga|Barry}}. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. This may mean he is simply from another region, but this has little evidence.

In {{v|Platinum}}, he is first met when players try to enter [[Veilstone Gym]]. In Pastoria City, he sings his own theme song, and the {{ga|Barry|rival}} wants him to be his mentor (much to his dismay). Wake also acts when a Galactic Bomb goes off at the [[Great Marsh]]. On [[Stark Mountain]], he mentions that he'll be entering a tournament. Wake can also be battled again, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the [[Battleground]]. His wrestling matches will occasionally be shown on the TV as part of the {{DL|Jubilife TV|Pokémon Variety Hour}}, which he always wins.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he appears in the [[Celadon Department Store]] to give the player some Sinnoh {{pkmn2|starter}} accessories. He can be found again later, on {{rt|47|Johto}}.

In {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}, he appears on {{rt|18|Unova}} staring out into the ocean. Once the player talks to him, he decides to head to [[Driftveil City]] and takes his leave.

{{ga|Barry|<rival>}}:''"That's my master! Those are words of wisdom!"''
:''"What? Are you still having trouble understanding? I don't for a second ever recall accepting you as an apprentice! I mean, if it's a wrestling moves, I can show you all you like, but...
<rival>:''"Awww, master, don't be that way! You've got to get me into that club in the Survival Area!"''
:''"...How'd I get involved in this...? So, anyway, <player>. You're going to Stark Mountain? Even the wild Pokémon there are very, very tough... If your Pokémon aren't well trained, they'll have a miserable time... Then again, that kind of challenge is an exciting prospect... But no matter what, you'd better be fully prepared! I've got to get ready for another tourment. Farewll!"''

===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====
:''"A masked guy who looks great in front of a huge torrential waterfall... That's me, Crasher Wake! Who dares to talk to me so freely? Oh! You are that mask-fanatic Trainer I saw at the [[Celadon Dept. Store]]! I heard about the great waterfall near {{ci|Cianwood}} and decided to come see it. This waterfall is awesome! No human or Pokémon can survive without water, yet the same water can sometimes cause great suffering. You must be a Trainer from this region, right? I hope you'll become a Trainer with the qualities of water--strong, tough to beat, yet refreshing. Good luck, mask-fanatic <player>!"''

Quagsire next went up against {{AP|Buizel}} and although Quagsire was able to absorb {{p|Buizel}}'s {{m|SonicBoom}}s with its bulky body it was knocked out by the sheer force of [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Ice Aqua Jet]].

Floatzel seems to know many different defensive techniques to guard himself from attacks such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He also knows a variety of different and powerful moves. Crasher Wake claims that {{p|Floatzel}} is powerful to endure even a {{m|Giga Impact}} by using its flotation sac. At one point he uses his flotation sac to reflect Buizel's {{m|Water Pulse}} back at him, confusing him. Later in the battle he used {{m|Ice Fang}} to freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after Buizel fired a Water Pulse attack at him which sent him crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out.

Floatzel also appeared briefly in [[Mamie]]'s flashback in ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]''.

Floatzel also appeared alongside Wake during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Floatzel's known moves are {{m|Razor Wind}}, {{m|Bulk Up}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, and {{m|Ice Fang}}.}}

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Maylene Wake Adventures.png|thumb|right| Crasher Wake with his Floatzel and Maylene with her Riolu]]
Crasher Wake is introduced in ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]''. {{adv|Platinum}} begins to battle him for the {{Badge|Fen}} in ''[[PS365|Crafty Carnivine]]''; their battle concludes in ''[[PS366|Floatzel and Jetsam]]'', during which [[Platinum's Empoleon]] is able to defeat his Floatzel, only to lose to Quagsire. Afterwards, the [[Tru|Torterra]] she borrowed from {{adv|Diamond}} defeats the second Pokémon with its {{m|Giga Drain}} when Wake concluded Platinum drowned, only to rise back up from the other side and counterattack. Afterwards, he is impressed by Platinum's adaptability and awards her the Fen Badge.

Later, he reappears in [[Lake Valor]] to save [[Rad Rickshaw]] and {{adv|Pearl}} after the Galactic Bomb's explosion dried the lake, and [[Saturn]] defeated the latter. He then had his {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Floatzel}} to refill the lake using {{m|Rain Dance}}. Soon, after the boy recovers, Wake coaches him to catch a Floatzel much like his own (after noting that he wouldn't give him ''his''), but when he proves unable, instead tells Pearl to try his luck with the weaker {{p|Buizel}}, which he succeeds in. However, having grown intensely distrustful of humans after the incident, it turned out very disobedient, prone to often attack its owner rather than fight for him.

Like in the games, he pays for the facilities and maintenance of [[Pastoria City]] with the prize money he earns.

Since its opponent was {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}}, a {{type|Water}}, he proposed, and Platinum agreed, that the battle take place in the pool. After the initial part was just a struggle, with hits and bites from both parts, they then jumped into the water to demonstrate their speed underwater. Following an extremely fast chase, Empoleon was able to hit Floatzel with her {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, sending it to fly away, knocking it out.

It later appeared with Quagsire in ''[[PS400|VS. Quagsire]]'', where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up [[Lake Valor]].

Upon being released it delivered a powerful {{m|Blizzard}} to Empoleon, to which the Emperor Pokémon responded with the same attack. The cluster of both snowstorms eventually caused Empoleon to hold back and faint. Then she sent {{adv|Diamond}}'s [[Tru]]. After what looked a silent and dull battle, Quagsire showed its skills as a wrestler, taking the Torterra (and lifting it, despite its height and weight) and threw him to the water. However, what it didn't notice (and was ready knock Torterra with a Blizzard) was that Platinum had her [[Great Marsh]] overalls attached to Tru's spikes, and therefore was thrown too. Upon noticing it, Wake send his {{tc|Sailor}}s to rescue her, but just the overalls was underwater. With this, the Water Fish Pokémon didn't shoot the Blizzard and was finished off with a {{m|Giga Drain}}.

Quagsire later appeared with Floatzel in ''[[PS400|VS. Quagsire]]'', where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up [[Lake Valor]].

He makes a brief cameo in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys]]'', where he is defeated by [[Hareta]]. In ''[[DPA11|The Legendary Pokémon, Captured]]'' Wake and other Gym Leaders appear at Lake Valor saying they will take care of things there and that he should worry about protecting the legendary Pokémon. He appears in ''[[DPA12|A Battle Of Wills]]'' as Byron comes to, he asks Wake what's going on to find that Hareta is battling Saturn.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|ウォーター　ストリーム　マスクマン|Water Stream Maskman}}.
* Crasher Wake's use of his prize money to help the disadvantaged is a common cliché in tales of fictional luchadores, inspired by the real-life luchador {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}.
* Crasher Wake is a {{type|Water}} trainer with a {{wp|Wrestling|pastime involving fighting}}, in comparison with [[Brawly]], a {{type|Fighting}} trainer with a {{wp|Surfing|pastime involving water}}.
* Despite the game claiming that he uses {{m|Defog}} for Pastoria City, none of the Pokémon he uses in battle can learn it. Though it is possible he has a Pokémon capable of using it he doesn't use in battle, he would not be the only Gym Leader to do so if this was the case, as Fantina has a Drifblim she only uses in Contests and not battles.
* With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being fourth, Crasher Wake is now fifth in the line-up. Had {{Ash}} fought [[Fantina]] previous to [[Maylene]], he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the DP line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Instead, Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by DP, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought Crasher Wake, but before Fantina.

'''Crasher Wake''' (Japanese: '''マキシマム{{tt|仮面|かめん}}''' ''Maximum Mask''), otherwise known simply as '''Wake''' (Japanese: '''マキシ''' ''Maxi''), is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pastoria City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Pastoria Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Fen}} to [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Crasher Wake uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the {{Badge|Fen}}, {{TM|55|Brine}} and are able to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone to not take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use {{m|Defog}} to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.

He later appears in the [[Battle Zone]], talking to the player's [[rival]], {{ga|Barry}}. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. This may mean he is simply from another region, but this has little evidence.

In {{v|Platinum}}, he is first met when players try to enter [[Veilstone Gym]]. In Pastoria City, he sings his own theme song, and the {{ga|Barry|rival}} wants him to be his mentor (much to his dismay). Wake also acts when a Galactic Bomb goes off at the [[Great Marsh]]. On [[Stark Mountain]], he mentions that he'll be entering a tournament. Wake can also be battled again, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the [[Battleground]]. His wrestling matches will occasionally be shown on the TV as part of the {{DL|Jubilife TV|Pokémon Variety Hour}}, which he always wins.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he appears in the [[Celadon Department Store]] to give the player some Sinnoh {{pkmn2|starter}} accessories. He can be found again later, on {{rt|47|Johto}}.

In {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}, he appears on {{rt|18|Unova}} staring out into the ocean. Once the player talks to him, he decides to head to [[Driftveil City]] and takes his leave.

:''"What? Are you still having trouble understanding? I don't for a second ever recall accepting you as an apprentice! I mean, if it's a wrestling moves, I can show you all you like, but...
<rival>:''"Awww, master, don't be that way! You've got to get me into that club in the Survival Area!"''
:''"...How'd I get involved in this...? So, anyway, <player>. You're going to Stark Mountain? Even the wild Pokémon there are very, very tough... If your Pokémon aren't well trained, they'll have a miserable time... Then again, that kind of challenge is an exciting prospect... But no matter what, you'd better be fully prepared! I've got to get ready for another tourment. Farewll!"''

===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====
:''"A masked guy who looks great in front of a huge torrential waterfall... That's me, Crasher Wake! Who dares to talk to me so freely? Oh! You are that mask-fanatic Trainer I saw at the [[Celadon Dept. Store]]! I heard about the great waterfall near {{ci|Cianwood}} and decided to come see it. This waterfall is awesome! No human or Pokémon can survive without water, yet the same water can sometimes cause great suffering. You must be a Trainer from this region, right? I hope you'll become a Trainer with the qualities of water--strong, tough to beat, yet refreshing. Good luck, mask-fanatic <player>!"''

Floatzel seems to know many different defensive techniques to guard himself from attacks such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He also knows a variety of different and powerful moves. Crasher Wake claims that {{p|Floatzel}} is powerful to endure even a {{m|Giga Impact}} by using its flotation sac. At one point he uses his flotation sac to reflect Buizel's {{m|Water Pulse}} back at him, confusing him. Later in the battle he used {{m|Ice Fang}} to freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after Buizel fired a Water Pulse attack at him which sent him crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out.

Floatzel also appeared briefly in [[Mamie]]'s flashback in ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]''.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Maylene Wake Adventures.png|thumb|right| Crasher Wake with his Floatzel and Maylene with her Riolu]]
Crasher Wake is introduced in ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]''. {{adv|Platinum}} begins to battle him for the {{Badge|Fen}} in ''[[PS365|Crafty Carnivine]]''; their battle concludes in ''[[PS366|Floatzel and Jetsam]]'', during which [[Platinum's Empoleon]] is able to defeat his Floatzel, only to lose to Quagsire. Afterwards, the [[Tru|Torterra]] she borrowed from {{adv|Diamond}} defeats the second Pokémon with its {{m|Giga Drain}} when Wake concluded Platinum drowned, only to rise back up from the other side and counterattack. Afterwards, he is impressed by Platinum's adaptability and awards her the Fen Badge.

Later, he reappears in [[Lake Valor]] to save [[Rad Rickshaw]] and {{adv|Pearl}} after the Galactic Bomb's explosion dried the lake, and [[Saturn]] defeated the latter. He then had his {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Floatzel}} to refill the lake using {{m|Rain Dance}}. Soon, after the boy recovers, Wake coaches him to catch a Floatzel much like his own (after noting that he wouldn't give him ''his''), but when he proves unable, instead tells Pearl to try his luck with the weaker {{p|Buizel}}, which he succeeds in. However, having grown intensely distrustful of humans after the incident, it turned out very disobedient, prone to often attack its owner rather than fight for him.

Like in the games, he pays for the facilities and maintenance of [[Pastoria City]] with the prize money he earns.

Upon being released it delivered a powerful {{m|Blizzard}} to Empoleon, to which the Emperor Pokémon responded with the same attack. The cluster of both snowstorms eventually caused Empoleon to hold back and faint. Then she sent {{adv|Diamond}}'s [[Tru]]. After what looked a silent and dull battle, Quagsire showed its skills as a wrestler, taking the Torterra (and lifting it, despite its height and weight) and threw him to the water. However, what it didn't notice (and was ready knock Torterra with a Blizzard) was that Platinum had her [[Great Marsh]] overalls attached to Tru's spikes, and therefore was thrown too. Upon noticing it, Wake send his {{tc|Sailor}}s to rescue her, but just the overalls was underwater. With this, the Water Fish Pokémon didn't shoot the Blizzard and was finished off with a {{m|Giga Drain}}.

Quagsire later appeared with Floatzel in ''[[PS400|VS. Quagsire]]'', where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up [[Lake Valor]].

Quagsire's known moves are {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}.}}

He makes a brief cameo in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys]]'', where he is defeated by [[Hareta]]. In ''[[DPA11|The Legendary Pokémon, Captured]]'' Wake and other Gym Leaders appear at Lake Valor saying they will take care of things there and that he should worry about protecting the legendary Pokémon. He appears in ''[[DPA12|A Battle Of Wills]]'' as Byron comes to, he asks Wake what's going on to find that Hareta is battling Saturn. In ''[[DPA13|The Battle Rages On]]'' Wake is amazed by the size of the wave made by [[Hareta's Piplup]].

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|ウォーター　ストリーム　マスクマン|Water Stream Maskman}}.
* Crasher Wake's use of his prize money to help the disadvantaged is a common cliché in tales of fictional luchadores, inspired by the real-life luchador {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}.
* Crasher Wake is a {{type|Water}} trainer with a {{wp|Wrestling|pastime involving fighting}}, in comparison with [[Brawly]], a {{type|Fighting}} trainer with a {{wp|Surfing|pastime involving water}}.
* Despite the game claiming that he uses {{m|Defog}} for Pastoria City, none of the Pokémon he uses in battle can learn it. Though it is possible he has a Pokémon capable of using it he doesn't use in battle, he would not be the only Gym Leader to do so if this was the case, as Fantina has a Drifblim she only uses in Contests and not battles.
* With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being fourth, Crasher Wake is now fifth in the line-up. Had {{Ash}} fought [[Fantina]] previous to [[Maylene]], he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the DP line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Instead, Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by DP, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought Crasher Wake, but before Fantina.

Poké Ball

2011-06-19T02:15:37Z

Extorchic: /* In the Pokémon Adventures manga */

{{Featured}}
[[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[Version|main series]]]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a Trainer in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as Ash's Pikachu.

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

The invention of Poké Balls apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]] and the [[Devon Corporation]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as "magical creatures" (Japanese: '''魔獣''' ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until these devices allowed the various Pokémon to be stored in pockets easily. This also shows that in these times they were believed to be supernatural creatures, not natural ones.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of both [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. The headgear of {{ga|Ethan}} is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and the bag of {{ga|Lucas}} prominently features a Poké Ball.

==Mechanics==
[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not knocked back, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to escape, at which point the ball will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

As seen in several anime episodes, such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls made out of stone. However, due to the difficulty of manipulating one of these large objects, later technology and the development of Heavy Balls provided a better alternative.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}|thumb]]
When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a bright light as it returns from its energy form, and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball that the Pokémon is contained in in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Recalling a Pokémon to its Poké Ball is also relatively simple, as all a person must do is hold up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened a couple of times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{Adv|Red}}'s battle against [[Giovanni]], where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the Ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since.

[[Image:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|200px|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in bags.

Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon storage system]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, [[Audrey]] could not release her {{p|Masquerain}} from the Poké Ball, claiming that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no such mention of any system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. To alter the way in which the Pokémon is sent out, however, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s must be used, which can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
Except for the [[Master Ball]], all Poké Balls have a chance of breaking and not capturing the Pokémon in question, however, in several cases, it is possible for the Poké Ball to miss the wild Pokémon completely.

* In [[Generation I]] games, there was always a possibility that the Poké Ball would miss a Pokémon, usually occurring when battling in the {{safari|Kanto}}, or while battling a wild {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or [[legendary Pokémon]]. Rather than the ball throwing animation playing, a message would come up stating "You missed the Pokémon!".
* In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the [[literal ghost|ghosts]] in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (literal ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.
* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[double battle]], unless one of the two wild Pokémon is defeated, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!". A player can however snag Pokémon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field; presumably the [[Snag Machine]] assists in aiming.
* Unlike preceding games, from {{v|Platinum}} onwards, it isn't possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the invulnerable stage of moves such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Shadow Force}}.
** This is most likely due to the fact that traditionally, whenever a Trainer catches a Pokémon, the battle ends.
* Pokémon Black and White introduces wild double battles that are encountered alone instead of with a partner like in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. In addition to the prior requirements, a command cannot be issued to a Pokémon during the same turn a Poké Ball is thrown; however, if the second Pokémon is using a two part move like Dig or Dive; a Poké Ball can still be thrown and Dig or Dive will continue if the ball fails.

==Types of Poké Ball==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A double battle begins in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Ball, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is not present in games without a [[Safari Zone]]. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. A majority of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon. However, when viewed on another Generation IV game in which these balls do not exist they will be shown as a regular Poké Ball, and will remain in that appearance when traded to those versions until the Pokémon is transferred back to HeartGold or SoulSilver, at which point they return to their previous form. None of these Poké Balls can be held in Generation IV. The following Poké Balls will maintain their appearance when transferred to a [[Generation V]] game; however, they still have the normal Poké Ball animation.

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Johto regions, and only a few of them could be bought in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} after the National Pokédex had been obtained. The Dive Ball is not available for purchase in Sinnoh, while both it and the Timer, Repeat and Luxury Balls are not available for purchase in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, though all can be transferred from a game in which they can be bought by being held by a Pokémon. This is probably because there are substitute balls for both Luxury and Dive Balls. Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|220px|right|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the anime, without a doubt, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon, however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; afterward, however, whenever Ash used one of his Tauros in a battle, it has been sent out from a standard Poké Ball.
[[File:Luxury Repeat Ball anime.png|thumb|[[Brendan]] holding his Luxury Ball and Repeat Ball, preparing for a [[double battle]]]]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in the anime, this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.
[[File:Master ball.png|thumb|left|[[Sullivan]]'s Master Ball]]
Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received Fast Balls in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received Lure Balls. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock.

The [[Master Ball#In the anime|Master Ball]] itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}}. Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed based on the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have only been seen in cameos, with only the Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appearing, in the opening of [[M06|the sixth movie]]. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal,
Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. It has also been shown that unlike the games, Pokémon placed in their balls recover from status conditions; however, like in the games, they do not recover health points. Additionally, the three original type of Poké Balls are used to identify the Trainer's rank; while most of the regular Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, Gym Leaders use Great Balls and Elite Four members, as well as Frontier Brains, use Ultra Balls.

==Items==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.jpg|right|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where Ash accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an [[Itemfinder]] or Dowsing Machine.

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
*[[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
*The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
*A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already [[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
*Typing Balls are used in [[Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name.

===In the anime===
[[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|right|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]''; nothing is said about it.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{an|Mewtwo}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily as a means of capture of Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. One of these devices is notably the only Poké Ball that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has ever been seen being drawn into during the entire series. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the '''Lake Ball''', was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
*In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokemon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokemon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the trainer's party.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:SSBB Poke Ball.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{p|Starmie}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes, and now the Pokémon released include Generation II Pokémon, with {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Celebi}} appearing. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing. In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon were added, and now {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, or {{p|Manaphy}} can be released from a Poké Ball that is thrown.

Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful.''

==In the TCG==
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

===Standard variants===
[[File:FastBall.jpg|thumb|right|The Fast Ball, in card form]]
*The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
*The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search of Pokémon to Basic Pokémon.
*The [[Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)|Master Ball]], first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck.
*Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
*Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|elemental types|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
*The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
*The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
*The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
*The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first.
*The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.

===TCG-only variants===
[[File:RocketPokéBallEXTeamRocketReturns89.jpg|thumb|right|The Rocket's Poké Ball card]]
*The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
*The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
*The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
*The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. Unlike others, no coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.

|}{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* Many of the types of Poké Ball introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[happiness]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball which made its return in Generation III, the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the menu, rather than as two, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. This is due to the size limitation placed on the text by the [[Game Boy Color]]'s small screen. The Generation IV Park Ball does not have this issue, as [[Nintendo DS]] screens are wider and the font used is thinner.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In the games and {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.
** However in Generation V, the Lure Ball's animation changes to having the correct blue outer coloring when thrown out into a battle.
* Item description data for the Safari Ball in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].
* While most Poké Balls can not capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.
** The Park Ball, which is used to capture migrated Pokémon, which must be caught on a Generation III game. The Park Ball, however, reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.
** In the anime, Mewtwo's "Mewtwo Balls", seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, "Mewtwo Balls" automatically release the caught Pokémon.
** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.
* While the Apricorn Balls and the Sport Ball exist in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are hacked into the bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.
** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The Premier Ball is the only variety of Poké Ball so far whose name approaches the character limit for item names.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Generation V introduced fewer types of Poké Balls than any other generation, only introducing one.
* The Safari Ball has a catching animation programmed into Black and White despite not being legitimately able to be used, as there is no Safari Zone.

'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Grass}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]], to warn the player of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type2|Ghost}} and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===Quotes===
'''[[Eterna Gym]]'''
*At the entrance of Gym's maze, when player enters ({{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only)
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader - me - until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting out in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

*At the entrance of the Gym ({{v2|Platinum}} only)
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's Gym Leader! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym Trainers first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

*Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the Grass-type master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''
*During battle
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

*When defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

*After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''

:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

:''"By the way... have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... I'm here just for fun... Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

'''[[Old Chateau]]'''
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too? You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the Old Chateau. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm

s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''

:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|left|240px|Gardenia in the anime]]
Gardenia first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. In this episode, she had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the Eterna City Gym Leader specialized in Grass Pokémon but not that it is her yet. She sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon recalled it. She then sent out her own {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, which defeated both [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}.

Gardenia has an obsession with Grass Pokémon to the extent that she did not appear to be taking Team Rocket seriously due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. But she seems to get over this problem in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', when she battled the Team Rocket without any hesitation by sending her {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} out. She also reveals her rank as a Gym Leader in this episode.

Gardenia had a Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. She sent out her {{p|Cherubi}}, {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, and {{p|Roserade}}. [[Ash's Turtwig]] went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was returned. {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} defeated {{p|Cherubi}}. After {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}} was defeated by [[Gardenia's Turtwig]], Ash sent his out. It resulted in [[Ash's Turtwig]]'s victory. {{p|Roserade}} beat Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later was defeated by [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]]'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Gardenia made use of the {{m|Sunny Day|sunny weather}} to her advantage, such as increasing {{p|Cherubi}}'s speed and allowing {{p|Roserade}} to launch fiery {{m|Weather Ball}} attacks. Despite this situation, {{Ash}} succeeded in defeating Gardenia and earning a {{badge|Forest}}.

She returned in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'' when she took part in a [[double battle]] alongside [[James]]. After the battle, she offered to train his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and make it stronger. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' where she was revealed to have helped {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to perfect {{m|Drain Punch}}.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Gardenia's known Pokémon in the anime:

|vajp=Miyako Itō
|vaen=Jimmy Zoppi{{!}}Billy Beach
|desc=It was first seen where it battled against Ash's {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} and {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}. It was shown to be great in speed and very powerful. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the battle. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

In Ash's gym battle, it used its impressive speed to defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's Turtwig after a fierce battle. Gardenia reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', and Turtwig was used in a double battle alongside James's Cacnea. [[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Tackle}}, and {{m|Razor Leaf}}.}}

|desc=Gardenia first met Cacnea in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', when it was sent out by James. Gardenia automatically got attracted to it, and she asked it to scratch her back by using {{m|Pin Missile}}.

Later in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a [[tag battle]], Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn {{m|Drain Punch}}, so offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym Battle against {{an|Barry}} where it proved to be a strong opponent.}}

It displayed its high speed, however it emerged that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's Gym Battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using it's {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability and forced Ash to recall it. It then went up against {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}} where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

Cherubi's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}.}}

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Roark and Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, {{adv|Platinum}}}. She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym Battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that {{adv|Platinum}} had battled against, and the first to have a [[double battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid ice and fire attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as {{adv|Platinum}}'s victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave {{adv|Platinum}} the Forest Badge.

[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym Battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the first Gym Leader in the main series games to own a [[starter Pokémon]] in the same game as the Pokémon were considered starters.
**However, [[Lt. Surge]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Green}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but not in {{game|Yellow}} where it was a starter, though he did still have Pikachu's evolved form, Raichu.
**Also, several of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders owned starters in {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* Gardenia is the second Gym Leader in the {{pkmn|anime}} to receive a [[James's Cacnea|Pokémon]] from a [[James|main character]]. The first was [[Sabrina]] with [[Ash's Haunter]].
* Coincidentally, there is a town in the anime named [[Gardenia Town]].
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] move in the [[Battleground]] battles with her.
* In Platinum, her {{p|Cherubi}} has been replaced by a Cherrim, but it is under-leveled, as Cherubi evolves into Cherrim at [[level]] 25.
* In the anime, when Ash was battling Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}}, he withdrew {{AP|Turtwig}} before he is hit. This occurred once before with [[Brawly]] of the [[Dewford Gym]], when {{AP|Treecko}} was going to be attacked and defeated by Machop.
**Interestingly, both were the second gyms in a region, and both Pokémon withdrew were the {{type2|Grass}} {{p|Treecko|star}}{{p|Turtwig|ters}} of the region he was battling the gym in.

==Trivia==
*{{wp|Brine}} is a {{wp|solution}} of water containing 50 parts per thousand salt or more.
*The only non Water-type Pokémon (except for Arcues, since it can be Water-type) that learn this move is Hariyama, furthermore, he learns it by level up. The reason of this may be the fact that Sumo wrestlers spread salt to the arena to purify it.

* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Sandile and its {{p|Waruvial|evolutionary}} {{p|Waruvile|relatives}}.
* This Pokémon is quite similar to {{p|Hippopotas}}. They are both [[Ground-type]] Pokémon that live in the desert, but were inspirated in aquiatic animals. Furthermore, they are both [[recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]].

===Origin===
Sandile seems to be based on a {{wp|crocodile}}. It has traits from both the {{wp|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|spectacled caiman}}. Its striped design is similar to a stereotypical burglar.

====Name origin====
Sandile is a combination of "sand" and "croco''dile''". Meguroco may be a combination of 目黒 ''meguro'' meaning black-eyed, and "''croco''dile".

Sandile's eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypal robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. Two thick black stripes are present down Sandile's back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color.

'''Fisherman''' (Japanese: '''釣り人''' ''Fisherman'') is a {{TCG|Supporter card}}. It was first released in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion ({{TCG|e-Card 5}} in Japan).

==Card text (Skyridge print)==
{{Trainer Text
| ruling = You can play only one Supporter card each turn. When you play this card, put it next to your Active Pokémon. When your turn ends, discard this card.
| effect = Choose 4 basic Energy cards from your discard pile (if there are fewer basic Energy cards than choose, take all of them), show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand.
|}}

==Card text (HeartGold & SoulSilver print)==

|}}

==Release information==
[[File:Fisherman.jpg|180px|left|Skyridge print Illus. Kagemaru Himeno]]
This card was reprinted in the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} with new artwork by [[Kanako Eo]].

==Trivia==
*The wording of this card is very confusing and probably an error. The intended message of the card was "If there are fewer basic Energy cards than that, choose all of them."
*The Fisherman is one of the playable characters in the [[e-Reader]] application [[Construction: Action]].

===Origin===
{{tc|Fisherman}} is a class of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the [[Pokémon games]]. However, the fishermen featured in the card artowrk are much younger than the ones in the game sprites.

Akane (HIBAPC)

2011-01-13T21:32:14Z

Extorchic: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Akane.jpg|thumb|right|150px]]
'''Akane''' (Japanese:'''アカネ''') is a one-time character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]. She appears in the chapter ''[[PW04|Akane-Colored Eevee]]''. Akane is a little girl who was raised by her grandfather after her parents died after her birth.

==History==
Akane is raised by her grandfather after her parents died after her birth. She loves flowers a lot and often scolds her Eevee when it plays in the flower garden. Even though she owns an {{p|Eevee}}, she really hates Pokémon and thinks that they are only good for fighting. When her Eevee is later taken away from [[Team Rocket]], she learns from her grandfather that when she was a baby she loved Pokémon. It was also the reason her grandfather decided to research Pokémon and was given an Eevee.

==Trivia==
* Akane shares the same Japanese name with as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Whitney]].
**Coincidentally all the Pokémon (except for Nidoran ♂) she has had are Normal-type, which is Withney's speciality. Besides, the Gym Leader owned a [[Nidorina]] (an evolution of Nidoran ♂ female counterpart) in the anime.

Elite Four

2011-01-05T01:34:52Z

Extorchic: /* Generation V */

The '''Elite Four''' (Japanese: {{tt|'''四天王'''|shitennō}} ''{{wp|Four Heavenly Kings}}'') are four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who are regarded as the toughest in their [[region]]al [[Pokémon League]], short of the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have won all eight [[Badge]]s from that region and face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them.

One group resides on [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Kanto]], and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and [[Johto]]; another is in [[Ever Grande City]] in [[Hoenn]]; two more reside at the unnamed Pokémon Leagues in {{si|Pokémon League|Sinnoh}} and {{un|Pokémon League|Unova}}.

===Generation I and III===
In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and their [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]], the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] consists of:

==In the anime==
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png|thumb|220px|right|The Sinnoh Elite Four in the anime]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} infrequently meet the members of the Elite Four, who then impart them with battle strategies. So far, Ash has encountered the complete [[Kanto]] group:
*[[Lorelei]] in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'' (named 'Prima' in the English dub)
*[[Bruno]] in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected]]''
*[[Agatha]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''
*[[Lance]] in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''
Ash has also met [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', though merely as [[Fuchsia City]]'s Gym Leader and not as an Elite Four member.

From [[Hoenn]], Ash has met:
* {{EF|Drake}} in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''
* [[Steven Stone|Steven]] in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble!]]''
* [[Wallace]] in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''

Ash has also met the entire [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four as well:
*{{EF|Aaron}} in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]''
*[[Bertha]] in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]''
*{{EF|Flint}} in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''
*[[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''
*[[Cynthia]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]''

It has been hinted by [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'' that when a Trainer wins their respective region's [[Pokémon League Conference|Conference Tournament]], they can participate in the Elite Four Challenge, fighting the four members of that region's Elite Four, and then possibly the Champion as well.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
The Kanto Elite Four made their first appearance in [[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]] watching the final battle between {{Adv|Red}} and {{Adv|Blue}} before serving as the primary antagonists for the {{chap|Yellow|Yellow arc}} of the manga. They are each said to be so powerful that triad leaders of [[Team Rocket]], [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]] all had to (begrudgingly) team up with the protagonists and [[Blaine]] to take just a single one of them.

The Johto Elite Four is formed at the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal|Gold/Silver/Crystal arc}}. It consists of accomplished Pokémon trainers that were formerly part of criminal organizations, who would eventually rise as the official Elite Four of the [[Indigo Plateau]].

The Hoenn Elite Four made an appearance in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire|RS arc}}, helping to contain the massive surge of energy created by the clash of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} alongside [[Steven]] and [[Wallace]], their two regional Champions.

[[Cynthia]], the Champion of the Sinnoh Elite Four, has made several appearances in Pokémon Adventures, but the rest of the Elite Four has not yet been seen.

==Trivia==
* In the Kanto-based games, all of the Elite Four members have at least one Pokémon that is not of their specialty type during the first battle.
* The Indigo Elite Four in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] holds the record for both the lowest and highest payouts given for defeating them. In [[Generation II]], and in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} after eight badges have been obtained, they will only give out {{PDollar}}22,900; when faced after all Kanto badges have been obtained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, they give out {{PDollar}}75,660. If the [[Amulet Coin]] or [[Luck Incense]] is activated in all five battles, {{PDollar}}45,800 will be given after 8 badges and a whopping {{PDollar}}151,320 will be given after all sixteen badges are obtained.
* All Indigo Elite Four members are villains in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* The Hoenn Elite Four members are the only ones that don't have higher level Pokémon in future rematches with them in any game.
* Prior to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Elite Four typically progressed in level with their Pokémon in the games. The rematch teams in HeartGold and SoulSilver don't progress in level like in all previous games and even the pre-Kanto teams used by the same Elite Four. In [[Generation V]], all members of the Elite Four use Pokémon of the same level, as they can be challenged in any order.
* In Platinum, the highest-leveled Pokémon of Bertha, Flint, and Lucian ({{p|Rhyperior}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Gallade}} respectively) match the final Pokémon that the [[Sinis Trio]] uses from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], in that same order.
** Also, Aaron's highest-leveled Pokémon, {{p|Drapion}}, and one of Bertha's Pokémon, {{p|Gliscor}}, match [[Kincaid]]'s first and second Pokémon, respectively.
* {{2v2|Black|White}} are the only games where Elite Four members used fewer than five Pokémon in their initial parties.
** It is also the only Elite Four thus far that does not force the player to battle its members in a specific order.
* The only types not [[type specialist|specialized]] in by an Elite Four member nor a Champion are {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Rock}}.
* The Sinnoh Elite Four is the only Elite Four in which all members made an appearance in the anime.
** However, the original members of the Indigo Plateau Elite Four, as well as [[Koga|one]] from the new Kanto Elite Four but under a [[Gym Leader|different title]], have each had an appearance in the anime. Will and Karen are the only ones that have not made an appearance.
* In Generation V, all five Elite Four members' (including the Champion) type specialties have been used exactly twice in previous Elite Fours, at least one of which is one of the two Indigo Elite Four variations. {{t|Fighting}} has been used by both Indigo Elite Four versions, {{t|Ghost}} has been used by the Indigo (Generations I and III) and Hoenn Elite Four, {{t|Psychic}} has been used by the Indigo (Generations II and IV) and Sinnoh Elite Four, {{t|Dark}} has been used by the Indigo (Generations II and IV) and Hoenn Elite Four, and a Champion has had no specialty type in Kanto (Generations I and III) and Sinnoh.
* With the exception of Caitlin, no Elite Four member has a Japanese name with more than three characters.

'''Chimhiko''' (Japanese: '''サルヒコ''' ''Saruhiko'') is an {{p|Infernape}} owned by {{Adv|Pearl}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

==History==
[[Image:Chimhiko Chimchar Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|As a Chimchar]]
Chimhiko was first seen when {{Adv|Platinum}} lets him out of his Poké Ball and gives him the Pokédex for her bodyguards and instructs him to give it to one of the bodyguards. Matching the description, Chimchar jumps at {{Adv|Pearl}} and gives him the Pokédex. Right after that, a flock of {{p|Starly}} appear and begin attacking the group, which results in Chimhiko, [[Wig]], [[Chahiko]], and Lax fighting and defeat them after half an hour, much to Platinum's surprise, as she mistook the duo for her (apparently powerful) bodyguards. When Chimhiko, Wig and [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] are training in [[Eterna City]] for Platinum's Gym battle with [[Gardenia]], Cynthia walks past them and notices that the three Pokémon are about to evolve, after which all three of them evolve. Because Prinplup already knew the Ice-type move {{m|Blizzard}} (with a clever usage of which it was able to defeat the gym leader), it was not borrowed for the gym battle and saw little usage until she battled [[Maylene]] with it and won.

Chimhiko evolved from {{p|Monferno}} into {{p|Infernape}} in ''[[PS359|VS Staravia and Skuntank II]]'' along with Wig, which evolved into a {{p|Torterra}}. It is after this incident, where the two real bodyguards are trapped in an alternate dimension warped by [[Saturn]]'s machine that {{adv|Diamond}} and Pearl swear to take over the role of bodyguard and protect her with their lives.

'''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Rocket-dan'', literally ''Rocket Gang'') is an organized crime syndicate in pursuit of evil and exploitation of Pokémon based in the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions with a small outpost in the [[Sevii Islands]].

While its main focus is stealing or capturing, then selling, rare and strong Pokémon, it also funds and conducts cruel experimental research on Pokémon. Their oath, as posted on the wall of [[Team Rocket HQ|one]] of their many bases, is "Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket." Their ultimate goal is to take over the world using Pokémon.

==In the games==
===In Kanto===
In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, Team Rocket's attention is focused in their home region of Kanto, distributing Pokémon as prizes through the [[Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and the [[Rocket Hideout|secret subterranean hideout]] underneath it. In [[Mt. Moon]], one of the many grunts says that Team Rocket intends to sell the Pokémon fossils they are mining in the cave. Several members also broke into a house in [[Cerulean City]] to steal a TM from its owner, and a mission devoted to stealing {{p|Cubone}} skulls in [[Lavender Town]] resulted in a hostage situation involving [[Mr. Fuji]] and the death of a {{p|Marowak}}. Another hostage situation developed soon afterward when the organization overran [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]] with the intention of getting the plans for the [[Master Ball]], a prototype of which had already been produced. A Team Rocket recruiter runs the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge north of Cerulean, and asks the player to join the Team when the challenge is completed.

The {{player}} is tasked with ousting the organization from its strongholds, and doing so, will meet the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]]. He is adamant about the success of his plots, but is not heard from again after his appearance at Silph until the player returns to [[Viridian City]] for his or her final badge– which Giovanni himself is in charge of giving out, being the region's eighth, {{t|Ground}}-specialist Gym Leader. After the player has defeated him this final time, Giovanni acknowledges the player as a better Trainer and disappears without a trace, vowing to disband Team Rocket (though it is later revealed in Generation IV that he only intended to become stronger, and he deliberately didn't completely disband Team Rocket).

Three years later, one Team Rocket operative returned to Kanto to steal a critical part from its [[Power Plant]]. Since only this member was involved in this plot, it is likely that he had no knowledge of Team Rocket's prior second disbandment and was working independently. Curiously enough, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he mentions that he will return to his home country and rebuild Team Rocket anew, something that he did not say in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|the original games]], though it is later revealed in {{2v2|Black|White}} that he gave up his plans when he returned [[Sekka City|home]] and subsequently married, instead finding happiness with his new family. Team Rocket has not been seen since.

===In the Sevii Islands===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, Team Rocket has a small branch in the [[Sevii Islands]], searching for the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} gems. This branch is based out of the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Chrono Island]], situated in the middle of the [[Five Isle Meadow]], where many Pokémon are held captive in cages.

Their search for the Ruby leads them to [[Mt. Ember]], though they fail to find it. They then appear in [[Icefall Cave]] where, with the help of [[Lorelei]], they are driven out. A scientist named [[Gideon]] then appears at the [[Dotted Hole]] to retrieve the Sapphire.

They player must then follow Gideon to their Rocket Warehouse where the Sapphire must be retrieved. After the player defeats the two Admins at the Rocket Warehouse, they realize that Giovanni has been defeated in Kanto, and without the lifeblood of the organization, all is lost for the Sevii Islands branch. Team Rocket subsequently pulled out of the Sevii Islands and has not been seen there since.

It is highly likely that this branch may be the precursor to the [[Johto]] branch that will appear [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|three years later]] from this time, as one of the computer screens has plans for a device to force Pokémon to evolve. Such a device will cause a rampage of Gyarados at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the plot of HeartGold and SoulSilver. In addition, the Rocket members here vow to find Giovanni and rebuild Team Rocket, which will the goal of Team Rocket during the Generation II games and their remakes. The Rocket Admins, considering their teams, may in fact be [[Ariana]] and [[Archer]].

===In Johto===
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|their remakes}}, three years after the defeat of Giovanni at the hands of {{ga|Red}}, a few members of the old Team Rocket attempted to reestablish the organization and get it back in operation, while awaiting the return of [[Giovanni|their leader]], who was apparently away on solo training.
[[Image:Slowpokewell.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket taking over the [[Slowpoke Well]]]]
This new Team Rocket started off small, first kidnapping the {{p|Slowpoke}} from [[Azalea Town]] and cutting off their [[Slowpoketail|tails]] to sell on the black market. They began their operation, led by Executive [[Proton]], in the [[Slowpoke Well]], where all of the local Slowpoke dwelled. However, with the help of [[Kurt]], the player manages to scare them away, and return the Slowpoke back to the town. When the player enters Goldenrod City, a Rocket is seen outside the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]]. In Generation IV in Ecruteak City, the player encounters a Rocket Grunt harassing a [[Kimono Girl]], and the player must defeat him. Eventually, they are encountered in [[Mahogany Town]], where they have set up a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret hideout]] in the basement of the town's shop, which stores a machine that emits high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves brainwash Pokémon and induce evolution in the {{p|Magikarp}} that live in the [[Lake of Rage]] north of the town, turning them into {{p|Gyarados}}, which are far more profitable than their pre-evolutionary form. With the help of the [[Indigo Plateau]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Lance]], the player defeats the syndicate once again. In this mission, the player must defeat Executives [[Petrel]] and [[Ariana]].

In a last-ditch attempt to get in contact with their former leader, Giovanni, the group hijacks the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], flooding the airwaves with a message to Giovanni. [[Petrel]], who disguised himself as the impostor station manager, met with the player, who challenged the Rocket Executive to a battle, and in the process, admitting the location of where they were holding the real station manager to the player, in Goldenrod Underground. Thus, with the real station manager free of Team Rocket's hold, the player rushes off to meet [[Archer]], the interim head of Team Rocket, where they face off in a final match. Once again defeated by the main protagonist, the Executives in charge of the operation vow to disband Team Rocket for good. Every Rocket Executive is fought in this mission. Likewise, several miles away, in [[Tohjo Falls]], Giovanni heard the message, intending to use it as his return, until he was defeated by the player and {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}}, who had traveled back in time with {{p|Celebi}}.

The Team Rocket members involved in the Johto plot may be connected in some way to the Sevii Islands branch of Team Rocket, as the Executives have similar teams to the Executives there, while a computer in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] indicates the beginnings of the Lake of Rage plot.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Team Rocket BW.png|thumb|Team Rocket as seen in the {{series|Best Wishes}}.]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], Team Rocket is based in Kanto, with many smaller branches across Kanto and Johto. Like in the games, [[Giovanni]] is the Gym Leader of [[Viridian City]]'s Pokémon Gym during {{Ash}}'s journey through the region, however, he is later revealed to have abandoned his duties.

An underground school for aspiring Team Rocket operatives is present somewhere in the region, while the organization's headquarters were formerly near [[Pallet Town]]. The headquarters was relocated sometime during Ash's journey in Johto or [[Hoenn]] to a large building in a canyon following damages it sustained due to {{an|Mewtwo}}'s anger at being controlled.

===The trio===
[[Image:Team rocket anime.png|left|thumb|Jessie, James and Meowth in their white uniforms as seen from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'' through [[DP191|the last ''Diamond & Pearl'' episode]].]]
A trio of Team Rocket field agents, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and a talking {{MTR}}, were defeated on an assignment to steal Pokémon from Viridian City's [[Pokémon Center]] by rookie Trainer [[Ash Ketchum]] and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and since then have followed him everywhere on his journey in order to steal the Pikachu that humiliated them. After following him through Kanto and Johto, coming in contact with many other Team Rocket members along the way and being shown as incompetent compared to said members, the trio followed Ash to the [[Hoenn]] region under directions from Giovanni to establish a branch of Team Rocket there (though this was really only a ploy to get them out of his hair). When Ash returned from Hoenn after competing in its [[Ever Grande Conference|regional League Conference]], the trio returned to Kanto as well, empty-handed. After following him through Kanto once again, Giovanni assigned the trio to the [[Sinnoh]] region, again with the directive to establish a Team Rocket branch there.
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket in the ''Best Wishes'' series]]
Giovanni claims to not even recognize the three agents, and has rejected the only Pokémon they ever presented to him: a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}}. Meowth often [[Boss fantasies|fantasizes]] about pleasing Giovanni with Pokémon captured using one of the trio's many harebrained schemes and mechas, at which point he would then replace [[Giovanni's Persian]] as "top cat", however this is hindered by both the fact that Ash and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] defeat the trio each time, as well as Giovanni's low opinion of the three, who have managed to eat up much of Team Rocket's funding with their failures.

While Giovanni views the trio as "bumbling idiots who can't do anything right", they have occasionally shown that they can do things right, if only by working on the side of Ash and his friends. It should be noted that when other Team Rocket members have come into contact with Ash or any of his friends they've been often just as easily foiled as these three.

The trio has often been shown as poor or having little money. This may be due to the amount of machinery and costumes they use in their attempts to capture Ash’s Pikachu. Because they have an unusually high rate of failure, one would wonder why Giovanni continues to fund their projects. They often take on side-jobs like selling food at stadiums or creating fake items and selling them to the public. After several episodes after the series began, they notably started speaking in rhymes from time to time.
[[File:Team Rocket HQ.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket's Headquarters as seen in the ''[[Best Wishes]]'' series]]
As of [[BW001]], the trio are straying away from being the comedic relief of the episode and adopting a more serious nature. They also seem to be more quick-witted than they were before. Aside from that, Jessie and James also received new uniforms. Their newest mission is to establish a Team Rocket branch in the [[Unova]] region. However, more often than not, they do not know the new Pokémon they encounter in the region, unlike in the past wherein James would usually know the Pokémon either from his past of through the use of his cards.

===Other members===
Many other members of Team Rocket have appeared besides the aforementioned boss and trio, most of them field agents as well. A recurring duo that is rivals with Jessie and James, [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], shows up from time to time. This pair reports to [[Dr. Namba]], rather than Giovanni directly.

[[Attila]] and [[Hun]], operatives from Team Rocket's [[Johto]] branch, are featured as antagonists in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where they play the same role as Jessie and James do to {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Vincent]]. Other Johto operatives include {{TR|Tyson}}, who was in charge of the [[Lake of Rage]] experimentation; [[Domino]], an elite Team Rocket member that was part of [[Mewtwo Returns|a mission]] to recapture {{an|Mewtwo}}; the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], a high-ranking agent who managed to [[M04|capture a Celebi in one of his Dark Balls]], and [[Professor Sebastian]], a high-ranking Rocket scientist involved in both Attila and Hun's and Tyson's plots.

Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was at one time a Team Rocket member under [[Madame Boss|Giovanni's mother]], however, she disappeared without a trace on an expedition to find and capture {{p|Mew}}.

Team Rocket has attempted to do many major and potentially globally-altering operations, including cloning DNA of Mew and altering it to create {{an|Mewtwo}}. This stemmed out of a desire of Giovanni to appease his mother's obsession with Mew. When Mewtwo finally finished developing, he deceived Mewtwo into working for him, using him in Gym Battles against such Trainers as [[Gary Oak]] (who suffered his first of only four losses in the anime to date). Team Rocket also attempted to capture and control a {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Celebi}}, and it also created a device that could force Pokémon to evolve.

They have various means of [[Transportation in Pokémon|transportation]], such as boats, submarines and helicopters.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
In ''Pokémon Adventures'', "Rocket" is an acronym standing for "'''R'''aid '''O'''n the '''C'''ity, '''K'''nock Out, '''E'''vil '''T'''usks."

Although grunts are first seen in ''[[PS001|Glimpse of the Glow]]'' searching for {{p|Mew}} in [[Pallet Town]], Team Rocket as an organization was not introduced until ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. Here they are mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] as an evil syndicate that use Pokémon for sinister purposes, mostly experiments. They are then seen looking for a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in [[Mt. Moon]]. After running into Red and Misty they battled them with a {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and when it looked like [[Pika]] may defeat it, a mysterious injection caused it to evolve into {{p|Rhydon}}. It was still defeated and the admin shown to be controlling it was [[Koga]].

Then they are seen with Red infiltrating their ranks trying to find {{adv|Green}}, who stole some information on Mew that was important for them. It was also revealed that under the [[Rocket Game Corner]] was a research facility for {{p|Mewtwo}}. After Green was found they revealed another Pokémon with a special ability, a Tauros with the ability to control other Pokémon with a swish of its tail. However they were defeated when Green's [[Ditty]] transformed into that Tauros and make the other Pokémon defeat themselves. However they believed they were okay since they retrieved the disk on Mew, which was, in fact, a fake. After realizing, they go out to find a Mew they though they saw, which was Ditty again. Eventually they figure it out and run into Red and Green who found the real Mew. Eventually as it was shown that the battle was going south Mew stepped in and knocked out the Rocket that was leading this hunt and his {{p|Jynx}}, leaving after that and Red and Green get away as well.

They are then seen on the Seafoam Islands chasing after Articuno only to be once again stalled by Red to a point where Articuno (which froze itself), defrosted and their combined forces easily drove Team Rocket away once again. Then they appear on Cinnabar confronting Blaine who had betrayed them. After Red joins the fight the then reveal their Moltres and the grunts disperse. Moltres is defeated by Red's Aerodactyl but is then revealed that it doesn't matter since it is then revealed that [[Koga]] has captured Articuno and [[Lt. Surge]] has obtained {{p|Zapdos}}.

After Blue and Green fail to get into Saffron City Blue takes a photo from the air showing some of Team Rocket's grunts there, making Blue deduce that that's their headquarters.

Once they get into Saffron City, the three of them enter Silph C., albeit for their own reasons. In each room each of the three had to face on of Team Rocket's heads. Red defeated [[Lt. Surge]] on 1F, Blue beat [[Koga]] on 2F, and Green managed to subdue [[Sabrina]] on 3F. The three of them met on 4F where a merger of the [[legendary birds]] was created by the Badge Energy Amplifier known as [[Zapmolcuno]]. Zapmulcuno was defeated, freed and split apart into the three birds. The Silph Co. building was destroyed with the three heads captured except [[Giovanni]] was still at large.

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, Team Rocket is disbanded except there are many rumors of Team Rocket slowly rebuilding. These rumors are proven true when the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] attacks the [[SS Anne]]. After that the three admins that were thought to be incarcerated or even dead were proven to be out and waiting for Blaine, Blue, and Yellow. They revealed that the SS Anne attack was just a ploy to get the Elite Four's attention, but since Yellow ruined it, their plan backfired. Sabrina then had her Alakazam make the [[Spoons of Destiny]], pairing each of the Pokédex holders with a rocket Admin. Blue went with Koga, Sabrina with Blue, Yellow and Blaine, and Lt. Surge was paired with Red but went with Bill instead since Red had been kidnapped and Bill's spoon had not bent since he didn't want to fight.

Each of these pairings was able to defeat a member of the Elite Four. Koga and Blue beat Agatha, Red, Bill, and Lt. Surge beat Bruno, Green and Sabrina beat Lorelei, and Yellow and Blaine defeated Lance.

===Neo Team Rocket===
Later in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, it was revealed there was a revived branch of Team Rocket in Johto. They were first seen trying to take the bag full of Pokémon that [[Joey]] had been entrusted to deliver to Professor Elm, but the ended up taking Gold's backpack instead, greatly angering Gold since it had all of his family Pokémon in it. After they realized they made the mistake, Team Rocket dumped the bag and went to Elm's lab, ending Gold and Silver's (who Gold thought was the culprit) battle by knocking out Gold with an Elekid. Silver then took them on and defeated all of the Rocket Grunts and they all disappeared by the time Gold regained consciousness.

They appeared once again at the [[Ruins of Alph]], searching for the Unown when they encountered Bugsy and Gold. Gold had his Sunbo use flash to blind them which in turn, had the Unown which they all thought were simply symbols on the wall come out and attack them. Team Rocket then had their {{p|Spinarak}} use Spider Web to trap Gold and Bugsy in a room, but Gold had [[Exbo]] use SmokeScreen so some Unown would get caught in the web and take out their anger on Team Rocket. Their new leader then appeared in the shadows and mumbled about their incompetence.

They then appeared inside the Slowpoke Well trying to get Slowpoke Tails but Silver appeared and defeated all of them single-handedly.

They next appeared in [[Ecruteak City]] where it was revealed that an earthquake that hit the city was really caused by them and an admin's {{p|Piloswine}}. They then battle against {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}, mainly Silver so they could get revenge for him ruining their Slowpoke Well Operation but Gold joined in to get back at them for interrupting his first battle with Silver. They defeated them and they retreated since, according to the female admin, they had gotten the information they needed on Ho-Oh's behavioral patterns.

They then had their leader revealed to be the [[Masked Man]], and he sent the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] to catch the legendary beast, {{p|Suicune}}. They failed due to {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]]'s interference.

==In the TCG==
Team Rocket has been featured in several expansions of the TCG, most notably in the self-named {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion, where {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} were introduced, and the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion, which commemorated the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In addition, there are several Pokémon belonging to Team Rocket in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}}, {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansions. A special Team Rocket promo card is being distributed in Japan as part of the promotion of the twelfth movie.

==Trivia==
* Team Rocket is the villainous team to have the most regions under its control, as it had operatives in Kanto, the Sevii Islands, and Johto (if one goes by the anime, it also has operatives in the Orange Islands).
* Team Rocket is the only main series villainous team to not have anything to do with their respective games' version mascots. In the same way, they are the only villainous team that has yet to try and use a legendary Pokemon to achieve their goals (in the game; while in the anime have attempted to do so on several occasions, most notably with Giovanni and [[Mewtwo]].).
** In the anime, however, Team Rocket has tried to obtain the most legendary Pokemon for their own uses (by Jessie and James) out of any other villanous team.
** In Pokémon Adventures manga, they did have in their plans (and eventually succeeded) catching {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, but were then released; {{p|Mew}} to create {{p|Mewtwo}}; and in the ''[[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter'']], their missions included to catch {{p|Ho-oh}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Both Jessie and James have befriended or owned a Pokémon whose species are known to frequently work for the good of common people, a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] and a [[Growlie|Growlithe]] respectively, with Chansey being known to work as nurses and Growlithe (along with Arcanine) being often used as police dogs. This is interesting to note considering Team Rocket's association with crime and illegal activities.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from {{wp|Zener cards}}), and two somewhat sinister-looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown section of body similar to a {{wp|fauld}} and an insect-like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow. Its feet each have three toes: two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it. Kadabra wields one spoon which is used to amplify its [[Special Attack|telekinetic powers]].
====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra emit {{wp|alpha waves}} when using its psychic powers that induce headaches to those near it. These waves strangely cause clocks to run backwards and machines to malfunction. The amplitude of the waves are doubled when Kadabra are holding their spoons and increased even further when Kadabra close their eyes.

Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Kadabra, unlike {{p|Abra}}, no longer has to sleep for around 18 hours a day. However, they are less peaceful and are more devoted to fighting than their pre-evolution. However, if they are outnumbered, they will still use {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===

==In the anime==

===Major Appearances===
[[Sabrina]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]], has a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} that evolved from an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''.

===Minor Appearances===

==Trivia==
* "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Venonat}} to {{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
* Kadabra has not been printed as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card since the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. This may be due to Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire not to provoke {{wp|Uri Geller}}'s litigious nature.
**Maybe due to the same reason, Kadabra has not make any anime appearence (not even cameos) since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''.
===Origin===
Kadabra is based on a magician and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, replacing the ''ri'' character with the visually similar ''n'' character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon. Geller attempted to make a case against [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character and lost.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from {{wp|Zener cards}}), and two somewhat sinister-looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown section of body similar to a {{wp|fauld}} and an insect-like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow. Its feet each have three toes: two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it. Kadabra wields one spoon which is used to amplify its [[Special Attack|telekinetic powers]].
====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra emit {{wp|alpha waves}} when using its psychic powers that induce headaches to those near it. These waves strangely cause clocks to run backwards and machines to malfunction. The amplitude of the waves are doubled when Kadabra are holding their spoons and increased even further when Kadabra close their eyes.

Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Kadabra, unlike {{p|Abra}}, no longer has to sleep for around 18 hours a day. However, they are less peaceful and are more devoted to fighting than their pre-evolution. However, if they are outnumbered, they will still use {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Venonat}} to {{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
* Kadabra has not been printed as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card since the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. This may be due to Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire not to provoke {{wp|Uri Geller}}'s litigious nature.
**Maybe due to the same reason, Kadabra has not make any appearence (not even cameos) since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''.
===Origin===
Kadabra is based on a magician and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, replacing the ''ri'' character with the visually similar ''n'' character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon. Geller attempted to make a case against [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character and lost.

'''Clair''' (Japanese: '''イブキ''' ''Ibuki'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. Her specialty is {{type2|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and she gives the {{badge|Rising}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. Her cousin is [[Lance]].

==In the games==
[[File:Gold Silver Clair.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Clair from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Clair appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She is the eighth and final Gym Leader to be met in the [[Johto]] region, and defeating her will allow Trainers to advance to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Known as "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon", Clair is descended from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers including her cousin, [[Elite Four]] member [[Lance]], and the [[Dragon Clan Elder|elder]] of Blackthorn's Dragon Clan.

Clair is confident of her abilities as a Trainer, and speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She can hold her own against the [[Elite Four]]: her only known loss is against Lance, now the Champion. Even if the player defeats her in battle, she refuses to accept his or her talents unless they pass the "Dragon User's Challenge". The {{badge|Rising}} that victors of the Blackthorn Gym are entitled to remains in Clair's possession until Trainers have navigated the [[Dragon's Den]] and located a shrine at its center. Only then will Clair acknowledge her loss. She will also encourage the player to excel at the Pokémon League; this is mainly personal, so she will feel less upset about her defeat at the hands of a child. As well as the Rising Badge, she will also issue a {{t|Dragon}} Technical Machine: {{tm|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]]; {{tm|59|Dragon Pulse}} in [[Generation IV]]. Many of her own Pokémon know these moves in the respective generations.

The player's rival, {{ga|Silver}}, takes to training in the Dragon's Den once the Elite Four have been defeated by the player. In this way, he is said to act as Clair did when she was young herself. She returns here from time to time, and will battle alongside her cousin against Silver and the player. She comes here every morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM after the player and rival defeat her and Lance, and will give her [[Pokégear]] phone number to the player. If called on Friday evening, she will journey to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and have a rematch with the player.

Clair makes an additional appearance in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only appearance she makes where she uses Pokémon that are not draconian in origin.

==In the anime==
[[File:ClairDragonairHGSS.png|thumb|left|250px|Clair in {{an|Lyra}}'s presentation in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'']]
Clair appears in five episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]], toward the end of the [[Pokémon: Master Quest|Master Quest]] saga: ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', ''[[EP252| Fangs for Nothin']]'', ''[[EP253| Great Bowls of Fire]]'', ''[[EP254| Better Eight Than Never]]'' and ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.

As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|company}} near [[Blackthorn City]], they discover a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discover that both Pokémon belong to Clair, who is following the Dratini down the river as it prepares to shed its skin. [[Team Rocket]] snatches the Dratini, however, and Clair gives chase, demonstrating her highly acrobatic abilities. Dratini escapes, and Ash fights to protect it. During the ensuing battle, however, an electric shock is headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumps in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnesses its trainer's devotion, and [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair is finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. Clair then goes on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{badge|Rising}}.

[[File:Clair Anime.png|thumb|right|215px|Clair in the anime]]
Ash has the first strike, but the battle is cut short when Team Rocket steals the Dragon Fang. Ash, Clair and Team Rocket all end up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket trick a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. Luckily, {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrive to help save the day. Ash's Charizard then helps him earn him his final [[Johto League]] badge.

Although Clair does mention [[Lance]] in the anime, he is not her cousin like in the games; instead, she recalls that he trained under her at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] before he joined the [[Elite Four]].

When [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal Dratini, Clair protected it which led it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Dragonair. With its new powers, Dragonair easily defeated Team Rocket.

Clair also used her Dragonair in the rematch against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. With its speed and power, it defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} easily. With a wide range of moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}, it proved to be a tough challenge for Charizard as well. Eventually it was however defeated by Charizard's {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Rising}}.}}

In the first battle, Ash first decided to use Pikachu, but as Pikachu's attacks didn't have that much effect on Kingdra, Ash switched to {{AP|Noctowl}}, which was easily defeated. Right after this the match interrupted as Team Rocket was trying to steal the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}.

During the rematch, Kingdra put up a good fight against Ash's {{p|Snorlax}}, but was finally defeated by Snorlax's {{m|Ice Punch}}.

Kingdra's known moves are {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Swift}}.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Clair and Morty.png|thumb|200px|Clair and her Kingdra (left) with Morty and his Misdreavus (right)]]
Clair was initially unhappy with the lack of capable trainers wishing to battle her. Clair then traveled to the Dragon's Den where she met {{p|Suicune}} and battled it. Despite her efforts, she was outclassed by its tactics, and lost rather quickly, due to Suicune's use of {{m|Mist}} to create a reflection or illusion of itself. She then learned from the [[Dragon Clan Elder]] that the [[legendary beasts]] appear to trainers they deem worthy which is why Suicune came to Clair. She then deduced that Suicune was looking for a worthy enough trainer to be its master.
[[File:Clair HGSS Special.png|thumb|100px|left|Clair in the ''HGSS'' chapter]]
Later, at the Gym Leaders Challenge, she was to face off against [[Blaine]]. This was an important matter for her, because as [[Lance]]'s sister, she thought that Blaine would know what became of Lance after Blaine and Lance's battle at [[Cerise Island]] the year before.

During the attack by [[Team Rocket]], which ended up with all the Gym Leaders trapped on the recently completed bullet train, she forced Blaine into fighting their duel. Blaine quickly won due to {{p|Entei}}'s powerful attacks. Thus, the Kanto Gym Leaders claimed victory, with four wins, three losses and one draw.

==Trivia==
*Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|聖なるドラゴンポケモン使い！|Blessed Dragon Pokémon Tamer}}.
*When Clair is beaten in the game, she is so impressed and frustrated, she refuses to give the player the Rising Badge. Instead, she sets the player on an extra task: He or she must go to [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve the sacred {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. When the player has done this, Clair, true to her word, arrives and hands over the badge as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}. Afterwards, she says "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." The meaning of this was somewhat lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a pun remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has {{wp|halitosis}}. Because she gives out {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}} in Generation IV instead, this joke was removed, though Clair does start to make a reference before becoming somewhat embarrassed.
*Clair is the only Gym Leader to be seen in the anime in the U.S. before she was seen in Japan. The U.S. opening ''[[Born to Be a Winner]]'' featured exclusive clips, one of them of Clair, not shown in Japan. The opening made its debut in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' which aired August 18th, 2001 and Clair's Japanese debut wouldn't come until ''[[EP251|Beauty Is Skin Deep]]'' which aired on June 6th, 2002. The only other character to debut in the U.S. first was [[Dr. Yung]].
* Clair is the only Johto Gym Leader whose team's Pokémon changed between {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** This parallels [[Giovanni]], who was the only [[Kanto]] Gym Leader whose team was altered between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; both are the final Gym Leader of their respective region.
* Clair is the only Gym Leader in the rematches at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver who does not have any post-[[Generation II]] Pokémon.
* Clair is the second Gym Leader to team up with a member of the Elite Four against the player's rival. [[Volkner]] was the first.
** Coincidentally, both Volkner and Clair are the last Gym Leaders of their respective regions, the focal regions of even-numbered generations.
* Clair appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. She uses a {{p|Dragonair}} in battle.
* Strangely, the music used in her tag battle with Lance isn't either the Champion's theme or the Gym Leaders' theme, but rather the normal battle music for a Johto trainer battle.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many characters in-game make fun of Clair's outfit, such as [[Erika]] and {{ga|Silver}}.

'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Grass}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]], to warn the player of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type2|Ghost}} and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===Quotes===
'''[[Eterna Gym]]'''
*At the entrance of Gym's maze, when player enters ({{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only)
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader - me - until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting out in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

*At the entrance of the Gym ({{v2|Platinum}} only)
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's Gym Leader! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym Trainers first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

*Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the Grass-type master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''
*During battle
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

*When defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

*After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''

:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

:''"By the way... have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... I'm here just for fun... Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

'''[[Old Chateau]]'''
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too? You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the Old Chateau. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm

s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''

:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|left|240px|Gardenia in the anime]]
Gardenia first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. In this episode, she had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the Eterna City Gym Leader specialized in Grass Pokémon but not that it is her yet. She sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon recalled it. She then sent out her own {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, which defeated both [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}.

Gardenia has an obsession with Grass Pokémon to the extent that she did not appear to be taking Team Rocket seriously due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. But she seems to get over this problem in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', when she battled the Team Rocket without any hesitation by sending her {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} out. She also reveals her rank as a Gym Leader in this episode.

Gardenia had a Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. She sent out her {{p|Cherubi}}, {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, and {{p|Roserade}}. [[Ash's Turtwig]] went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was returned. {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} defeated {{p|Cherubi}}. After {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}} was defeated by [[Gardenia's Turtwig]], Ash sent his out. It resulted in [[Ash's Turtwig]]'s victory. {{p|Roserade}} beat Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later was defeated by [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]]'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Gardenia made use of the {{m|Sunny Day|sunny weather}} to her advantage, such as increasing {{p|Cherubi}}'s speed and allowing {{p|Roserade}} to launch fiery {{m|Weather Ball}} attacks. Despite this situation, {{Ash}} succeeded in defeating Gardenia and earning a {{badge|Forest}}.

She returned in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'' when she took part in a [[double battle]] alongside [[James]]. After the battle, she offered to train his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and make it stronger. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' where she was revealed to have helped {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to perfect {{m|Drain Punch}}.

It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the battle. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

In Ash's gym battle, it used its impressive speed to defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's Turtwig after a fierce battle. Gardenia reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', and Turtwig was used in a double battle alongside James's Cacnea. [[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Tackle}}, and {{m|Razor Leaf}}.}}

After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over.

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Roark and Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, {{adv|Platinum}}}. She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym Battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that {{adv|Platinum}} had battled against, and the first to have a [[double battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid ice and fire attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as {{adv|Platinum}}'s victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave {{adv|Platinum}} the Forest Badge.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym Battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the first Gym Leader in the main series games to own a [[starter Pokémon]] in the same game as the Pokémon were considered starters.
**However, [[Lt. Surge]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Green}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but not in {{game|Yellow}} where it was a starter, though he did still have Pikachu's evolved form, Raichu.
**Also, several of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders owned starters in {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* Gardenia is the second Gym Leader in the {{pkmn|anime}} to receive a [[James's Cacnea|Pokémon]] from a [[James|main character]]. The first was [[Sabrina]] with [[Ash's Haunter]].
* Coincidentally, there is a town in the anime named [[Gardenia Town]].
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] move in the [[Battleground]] battles with her.
* In Platinum, her {{p|Cherubi}} has been replaced by a Cherrim, but it is under-leveled, as Cherubi evolves into Cherrim at [[level]] 25.
* In the anime, when Ash was battling Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}}, he withdrew {{AP|Turtwig}} before he is hit. This occurred once before with [[Brawly]] of the [[Dewford Gym]], when {{AP|Treecko}} was going to be attacked and defeated by Machop.
**Interestingly, both were the second gyms in a region, and both Pokémon withdrew were the {{type2|Grass}} {{p|Treecko|star}}{{p|Turtwig|ters}} of the region he was battling the gym in.

'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Grass}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]], to warn the player of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type2|Ghost}} and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===Quotes===
'''[[Eterna Gym]]'''
*At the entrance of Gym's maze, when player enters ({{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only)
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader - me - until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting out in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

*At the entrance of the Gym ({{v2|Platinum}} only)
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's Gym Leader! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym Trainers first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

*Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the Grass-type master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''
*During battle
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

*When defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

*After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''

:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

:''"By the way... have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... I'm here just for fun... Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

'''[[Old Chateau]]'''
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too? You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the Old Chateau. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm

s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''

:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|left|240px|Gardenia in the anime]]
Gardenia first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. In this episode, she had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the Eterna City Gym Leader specialized in Grass Pokémon but not that it is her yet. She sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon recalled it. She then sent out her own {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, which defeated both [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}.

Gardenia has an obsession with Grass Pokémon to the extent that she did not appear to be taking Team Rocket seriously due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. But she seems to get over this problem in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', when she battled the Team Rocket without any hesitation by sending her {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} out. She also reveals her rank as a Gym Leader in this episode.

Gardenia had a Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. She sent out her {{p|Cherubi}}, {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, and {{p|Roserade}}. [[Ash's Turtwig]] went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was returned. {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} defeated {{p|Cherubi}}. After {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}} was defeated by [[Gardenia's Turtwig]], Ash sent his out. It resulted in [[Ash's Turtwig]]'s victory. {{p|Roserade}} beat Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later was defeated by [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]]'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Gardenia made use of the {{m|Sunny Day|sunny weather}} to her advantage, such as increasing {{p|Cherubi}}'s speed and allowing {{p|Roserade}} to launch fiery {{m|Weather Ball}} attacks. Despite this situation, {{Ash}} succeeded in defeating Gardenia and earning a {{badge|Forest}}.

She returned in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'' when she took part in a [[double battle]] alongside [[James]]. After the battle, she offered to train his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and make it stronger. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' where she was revealed to have helped {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to perfect {{m|Drain Punch}}.

It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the battle. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

In Ash's gym battle, it used its impressive speed to defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's Turtwig after a fierce battle. Gardenia reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', and Turtwig was used in a double battle alongside James's Cacnea. [[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Tackle}}, and {{m|Razor Leaf}}.}}

After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym Battle against {{an|Barry}} where it proved to be a strong opponent.}}

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's Gym Battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using it's {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability and forced Ash to recall it.

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Roark and Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, {{adv|Platinum}}}. She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym Battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that {{adv|Platinum}} had battled against, and the first to have a [[double battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid ice and fire attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as {{adv|Platinum}}'s victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave {{adv|Platinum}} the Forest Badge.

Since the opponent's chosen Pokémon could use Fire and Ice attacks, Gardenia used the wide area of her plain grass gym to not being hit by those type of attacks. As a distance-attack techinque, Roserade used her poisonous vines under the arena, who defeated Ponyta and badly hurted Prinplup. After being attacked by Cherubi's [[Grass Knot]] (which was more powerful upon [[Piplup]]'s evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her [[Blizzard]] in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an undergroud at distance attack.}}

|desc=Roserade and Cherubi were both sent against Platinum in a double battle. Since the opponent's chosen Pokémon could use Fire and Ice attacks, Gardenia used the wide area of her plain grass gym to not being hit by those type of attacks. As a distance-attack techinque, Roserade used her poisonous vines under the arena, who defeated Ponyta and badly hurted Prinplup. After being attacked by Cherubi's [[Grass Knot]], Prinplup used her [[Blizzard]] in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an undergroud at distance attack, who defeated both.}}

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym Battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the first Gym Leader in the main series games to own a [[starter Pokémon]] in the same game as the Pokémon were considered starters.
**However, [[Lt. Surge]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Green}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but not in {{game|Yellow}} where it was a starter, though he did still have Pikachu's evolved form, Raichu.
**Also, several of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders owned starters in {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* Gardenia is the second Gym Leader in the {{pkmn|anime}} to receive a [[James's Cacnea|Pokémon]] from a [[James|main character]]. The first was [[Sabrina]] with [[Ash's Haunter]].
* Coincidentally, there is a town in the anime named [[Gardenia Town]].
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] move in the [[Battleground]] battles with her.
* In Platinum, her {{p|Cherubi}} has been replaced by a Cherrim, but it is under-leveled, as Cherubi evolves into Cherrim at [[level]] 25.
* In the anime, when Ash was battling Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}}, he withdrew {{AP|Turtwig}} before he is hit. This occurred once before with [[Brawly]] of the [[Dewford Gym]], when {{AP|Treecko}} was going to be attacked and defeated by Machop.
**Interestingly, both were the second gyms in a region, and both Pokémon withdrew were the {{type2|Grass}} {{p|Treecko|star}}{{p|Turtwig|ters}} of the region he was battling the gym in.

'''Crasher Wake''' (Japanese: '''マキシマム{{tt|仮面|かめん}}''' ''Maximum Mask''), otherwise known simply as '''Wake''' (Japanese: '''マキシ''' ''Maxi''), is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pastoria City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Pastoria Gym]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Fen Badge|Fen Badge]] to [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
Crasher Wake uses {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the {{Badge|Fen}}, {{TM|55|Brine}} and are able to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone not to take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use {{m|Defog}} to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.

He later appears in the [[Battle Zone]], talking to the player's [[rival]], {{ga|Barry}}. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. This may mean he is simply from another region, but this has little evidence.

In {{v|Platinum}}, he is first met when players try to enter [[Veilstone Gym]]. In Pastoria City, he sings his own theme song, and the {{ga|Barry|rival}} wants him to be his mentor. Wake also acts when a Galactic Bomb goes off at the [[Great Marsh]]. On [[Stark Mountain]], he mentions that he'll be entering a tournament. Wake can also be battled again, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the [[Battleground]]. His wrestling matches will occasionally be shown on the TV as part of the {{DL|Jubilife TV|Pokémon Variety Hour}}, which he always wins.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he appears in the [[Celadon Department Store]] to give the player some Sinnoh {{pkmn2|starter}} accessories. He can be found again later, on {{rt|47|Johto}}.

===Quotes===
===={{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}====
*Before battle
:''"Welcome! I don't get challenged very often! The glory you are now beholding is the Pastoria Gym Leader! That's right, I'm Crasher Wake! My Pokémon were toughened up by stormy white waters! They'll take everything you can throw at them and then pull you under! Victory will be ours! Come on, let's get it done!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon:
:''"Hey! That there! That was a good move!"''

*During battle
:''"This is where it gets exciting!"''

*When defeated
:''"Hunwah! It's gone and ended! How will I say... I want more! I wanted to battle a lot more!"''

*After being defeated
:''"It seems the undertow pulled me under... But I had a great time battling with you! You've earned this!"''

:''"The styles of battling and winning are as widely varied as Trainers are. Do you want to know how I battle? I battle so I can say I had fun at the end, whether I win or lose!"''

*The theme song: 
:''"The ring is my roiling sea. ♪'' 
:''The towering waves shaped me.'' 
:''Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!'' 
:''Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!'' 
:''I’m the tidal wave of power to wash you away!'' 
:''Put out the fire, Crasher Wake!'' 
:''Run from electricity, Crasher Wake!'' 
:''Ah, ah, aaaah!'' 
:''The ring is my sea. ♪"''

===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====
:''"A masked guy who looks great in front of a huge torrential waterfall... That's me, Crasher Wake! Who dares to talk to me so freely? Oh! You are that mask-fanatic Trainer I saw at the Celadon Dept. Store! I heard about the great waterfall near Cianwood and decided to come see it. This waterfall is awesome! No human or Pokémon can survive without water, yet the same water can sometimes cause great suffering. You must be a Trainer from this region, right? I hope you'll become a Trainer with the qualities of water--strong, tough to beat, yet refreshing. Good luck, mask-fanatic <player>!"''

Floatzel seems to know many different defensive techniques to guard himself from attacks such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He also knows a variety of different and powerful moves. Crasher Wake claims that {{p|Floatzel}} is powerful to endure even a {{m|Giga Impact}} by using its flotation sac. At one point he uses {{m|Ice Fang}} and it is able to disorient Buizel and freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after Buizel fired a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack at him which sent him crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out.

Floatzel also appeared briefly in [[Mamie]]'s flashback in ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]''.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Maylene and Wake manga.png|thumb|right| Crasher Wake with his Floatzel and Maylene with her Riolu]]
Crasher Wake is introduced in ''[[PS364|VS. Skorupi]]''. {{adv|Platinum}} begins to battle him for the {{badge|Fen}} in ''[[PS365|VS. Carnivine]]''; their battle concludes in ''[[PS366|VS. Floatzel]]'', during which [[Platinum's Empoleon]] is able to defeat his Floatzel, only to lose to Quagsire. Afterwards, the [[Wig|Torterra]] she borrowed from {{Adv|Diamond}} defeats the second Pokémon with its {{m|Giga Drain}} when Wake concluded Platinum drowned, only to rise back up from the other side and counterattack. Afterwards, he is impressed by Platinum's adaptability and awards her the [[Fen Badge]].

Later, he reappears in [[Lake Valor]] to save [[Rad Rickshaw]] and {{adv|Pearl}} after the Galactic Bomb's explosion dried the lake, and [[Saturn]] defeated the latter. He then had his {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Floatzel}} to refill the lake using {{m|Rain Dance}}. Soon, after the boy recovers, Wake coaches him to catch a Floatzel much like his own (after noting that he wouldn't give him ''his''), but when he proves unable, instead tells Pearl to try his luck with the weaker {{p|Buizel}}, which he succeeds in. However, having grown intensely distrustful of humans after the incident, it turned out very disobedient, prone to often attack its owner rather than fight for him.

Like in the games, he pays for the facilities and maintenance of [[Pastoria City]] with the prize money he earns.

After a what it looked a silent and dull battle, Quagsire showed its skills as a wrestler, taking the Torterra (and lifting it, despite its heigh and weigh) and threw him to the water. But it didn't notice (and was ready knock Torterra with a Blizzard) was that Platinum had her [[Great Marsh]] Overall attached to Wig's spikes, and therefore was thrown too. Upon noticing it, Wake send his [[Sailors]] to rescue her, but just the overall was underwater. With this, the fish Pokémon didn't shot the Blizzard and was finished up with a [[Mega Drain]].}}

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
He makes a brief cameo in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys]]'', where he is defeated by Hareta. In ''[[DPA11|The Legendary Pokémon, Captured]]'' Wake and other Gym leaders appear at Lake Valor saying they will take care of things there and that he should worry about protecting the legendary Pokémon. He appears in ''[[DPA12|A Battle Of Wills]]'' as Byron comes to, he asks Wake what's going on to find that Hareta is battling Saturn. In ''[[DPA13|The Battle Rages On]]'' Wake is amazed by the size of the wave made by [[Hareta's Piplup]].

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|ウォーター　ストリーム　マスクマン|Water Stream Maskman}}.
* Crasher Wake's use of his prize money to help the disadvantaged is a common cliché in tales of fictional luchadores, inspired by the real-life luchador {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}.
* Crasher Wake is a {{type2|Water}} trainer with a {{wp|Wrestling|pastime involving fighting}}, in comparison with [[Brawly]], a {{type2|Fighting}} trainer with a {{wp|Surfing|pastime involving water}}.
* All of Wake's Pokémon are ones that have [[gender differences]] except {{p|Sharpedo}}.
* Despite the game claiming that he uses {{m|Defog}} for Pastoria City, none of the Pokémon he uses in battle can learn it. Though it is possible he has a Pokémon capable of using it he doesn't use in battle, he would not be the only Gym Leader to do so if this was the case, as Fantina has a Drifblim she only uses in contests and not battles.
* With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being fourth, Crasher Wake is now fifth in the line-up. Had {{Ash}} fought [[Fantina]] previous to [[Maylene]], he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the D/P line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by D/P, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought Crasher Wake, but before Fantina.
* Crasher Wake is repeatedly referred to in in-game dialog by characters as "Wake, I mean Crasher Wake". This is a jab at the games' inability to hold his full name during battle (where he is identified as "Leader Wake"), and is also present in the Japanese version (where he is called マキシ ''Maxi'' instead).

'''Candice''' (Japanese: '''スズナ''' ''Suzuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Snowpoint City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Snowpoint Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Icicle}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Ice}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
Candice uses {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the [[Icicle Badge]], {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and will be able to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect a Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.

She later allows the player entry into the [[Snowpoint Temple]], and, in {{v2|Platinum}}, will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]].

In Platinum, [[Maylene]] mentions in Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]] that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the {{type|Fighting}} because of it being a weakness of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

===Quotes===
'''[[Snowpoint Gym]]'''
*Before battle
:''"You want to challenge Candice? Sure thing! I was waiting for someone tough! But I should tell you, I'm tough because I know how to focus. Pokémon, fashion, romance... It's all about focus! I'll show you just what I mean. Get ready to lose!"''

*When sending out last Pokémon
:''"I'm going to break the ice and bring out my last-resort Pokémon!"''

*During battle
:''"I can sense your will to win, but I promise you I'm not about to lose!"''

*When defeated
:''"I must say, I've warmed up to you! I might even admire you a little."''

*After being defeated
:''"Wow! you are great! You've earned my respect! I think your focus and will bowled us over totally. Oh, that's right! I'm supposed to give you this!"''

:''"Do you think I should try to act more like an Ice-type Gym Leader? Like, do you think I should be more cool and distant? That sort of thing I have trouble with."''

'''[[Snowpoint Temple]]'''
:''"It's OK! You can let that person in. Cynthia sent word to me. You're working on a Pokédex, aren't you? There should be many rare Pokémon in the temple. Enjoy your exploring!"''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"What is it, Maylene? Did you want some Accessories? I'll give you some of my favorites."'' (to Maylene)

:''"Gee, I wouldn't know. That's a tough question. ...Maybe we should ask Gardenia sometime."'' (to Maylene)

==In the anime==
[[File:Candiceanime.png|250px|Candice in the anime|thumb|left]]
Candice made her debut appearance in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where she was revealed to be a teacher in [[Snowpoint City]]'s Trainers' School. She is also a childhood friend of [[Zoey]] and calls her by the nickname, "Zo-Zo" (Japanese: '''ノゾチ''' ''Nozotchi'').

Ash battled her in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', where he defeated her and earned the {{badge|Icicle}}. She also appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''. [[Paul]] challenged her to a Gym battle in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it took place off-screen between the aforementioned episode and ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]''The winner of the match was Paul as said in the next episode.

She made another appearance in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' where she watches Zoey win the Brussel Town Contest, and her 5th Contest Ribbon. She helps Dawn prepare for the Daybreak Contest with Zoey. In ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn!]]'' she and Zoey were watching Dawn's performance on TV.

She also made another brief cameo in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' watching {{an|Dawn}} and Zoey compete in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] on television.

Her trademark is using the term "{{wp|kiai}}" in regular speech (instead of as a sound effect), such as in the line, "Get your kiai on!"

It later paired with {{AP|Buizel}} to help stop [[Team Rocket]] from stealing the [[Snowpoint Trainers' School]] supply of Pokémon.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', Abomasnow was Candice's final Pokémon in her Gym Battle against Ash. Abomasnow knocked out Staraptor and Grotle before Chimchar defeated it with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. Abomasnow made one final appearance in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', where Candice used it to demonstrate move combinations for {{an|Dawn}}.

Abomasnow's known moves are {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, {{m|Wood Hammer}}, {{m|Blizzard}}, and {{m|Ice Punch}}.}}

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Volkner and Candice Adventures.png|thumb|215px|Candice and her {{p|Froslass}} with [[Volkner]] and his {{p|Electivire}}]]
She appeared in {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} saving {{adv|Platinum}} when she fell from her skis after striking with a {{p|Graveler}}. Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a gym battle, where her {{p|Snover}} double-KO'd with [[Platinum's Empoleon]], and her {{p|Froslass}} took over to fight [[Platinum's Rapidash]]. At first, the newly evolved horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective [[Ice (type)|Ice]] attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the gym badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect {{p|Uxie}} at [[Lake Acuity]]. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} and deal massive damage on Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, {{p|Lopunny}}, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.

==Trivia==
* Even though Candice lives in the snowy north of Sinnoh, the only protection she seemingly has from the weather is the sweater tied around her waist and her long socks.
* Candice is the only Gym Leader from Sinnoh that {{Ash}} did not have a 3 on 3 battle with. Instead, it was 4 on 4.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Candice is the only Sinnoh [[Gym Leader]] to use two Pokémon within the same [[evolution|evolutionary line]] on her team ({{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}).
* All of Candice's Diamond and Pearl team are Pokémon that have [[gender differences]]. This would also be true for her Platinum team; however, as {{p|Froslass}} is a female-only Pokémon, it cannot have gender differences.
* The highest-leveled Pokémon in Candice's team differs between every battle.
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, Candice is the only Gym Leader whose [[Battleground]] rematch team contains only Pokémon which are in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Dex]].
** Her Battleground team, with the exception of Abomasnow, consists entirely of Generation IV evolutions of Pokémon of previous generations.
* Candice is the only female Gym Leader whose gym design was not changed in Platinum. The snowball positions were changed slightly, however.
* Candice's speaking of herself in the third person is somewhat a mistranslation: in Japanese, a person using their own name in place of "I" indicates femininity, whereas in English it is typically considered {{wp|illeism}}.
* Candice is the only female Gym Leader that specializes on Ice-type Pokémon.

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14, and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Like its pre-evolution {{p|Cyndaquil}}, the top half of its body is blue and the lower half milky-colored; however, its entire body is slimmer in proportion. It also seems to have triangular ears with red-colored insides. Quilava possesses a much smaller, more rounded nose than the one it had as Cyndaquil, and its eyes are open, revealing its red irises. It has five red-colored spots on its body in which it projects flame at will, two in a somewhat exclamation-mark shape on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Quilava's fur is non-flammable, so it can withstand flame attacks. The fire coming from its head and rear, which are stronger than Cyndaquil's, can be launched as a flame attack; it also uses gusts of superheated air as a battle technique.

===Behavior===
Quilava is known to be less timid than Cyndaquil, though its behavior appears to be affected by its surroundings. A very common occurrence during evolution is an increase in aggression. Although Quilava is a natural quadruped, it is prone to rising onto its hind legs on occasion, to enough of an extent as to be able to use {{m|Focus Punch}}, which usually can only be learned by naturally bipedal Pokémon.

Quilava seem to have a predilection for turning its back on its opponent before and when in battle. When before the battle, it is to display how ferociously its fire blazes. When in battle, this means it will attack with the fire on its back. The intensity of the flames also increases in battle, with its Fire-type attacks only {{a|Blaze|boosted}} when it is weakened. Quilava is described to apply its {{m|Quick Attack|nimbleness}} to dodge attacks, even while scorching its foes.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Quilava has been known to adapt to many habitats; however, it is usually found in the care of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Quilava.png|250px|thumb|right|Quilava in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Ash's Quilava====
{{main|Ash's Quilava}}
Ash's {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolved into Quilava in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', fighting one of Team Rocket's mechas.

====Other====
Quilava first played a major role in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'' as [[Macy]]'s Pokémon. She used it against Ash during the Silver Conference but was defeated by his {{AP|Squirtle}}.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]], a trainer that likes to conduct battles like a symphony, used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

A Quilava was used by one of two [[Ryan and Bryan|twin brothers]] in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins]]'' in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. The other twin used {{p|Croconaw}}.

===Minor appearances===
Quilava first appeared as a cameo in the episode ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar]]'' where {{Ash}} witnessed a trainer training with his Quilava for the [[Silver Conference]] and also considered for a short time of getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference following Cyndaquil's defeat against [[Satchel]]'s {{p|Magby}}.

{{Animedexbody|DP029|Quilava|Ash's Pokédex|Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon, and the evolved form of {{p|Cyndaquil}}. Its body is covered with fire-proof fur and can withstand any {{type2|Fire}} attack.}}
{{Animedexbody|DP182|Quilava|Ash's Pokédex|Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon, and the evolved form of Cyndaquil. Quilava intimidates foes with its flame's heat, and when ready to battle, the fire burns with more strength.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
{{adv|Gold}}'s [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]] of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]] evolved into Quilava during a training session at the [[Pokémon daycare|Daycare Center]] outside of [[Goldenrod City]]. It then became massively more powerful than it was in its previous form, and defeated many of the Johto [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s' Pokémon for Gold. After being used in Gold's battle with his rival {{adv|Silver}} in the ruins of [[Ecruteak City]], it spent several weeks captive inside one of Gold's [[Poké Ball]]s and evolved simultaneously with [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]] and [[Megaree]]. In its fully evolved form, it berthed itself even more in battle for the boy.

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
* Quilava's normal Gold and Silver sprites had completely red eyes. This was later corrected in the games from Crystal and onward.
* Despite what several [[Pokédex]] entries may imply, Quilava is not immune to {{type2|Fire}} moves.
**However, a Quilava from the Dream World may have the ability Flash Fire, granting it an immunity to Fire-type moves.
===Origin===
Its appearance is similar to most animals in the {{wp|Mustela}} genus, although it is most likely a {{wp|stoat}} based on its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. Its appearence is also quite close to a {{wp|Paca}}, a South-american rodent with a slender body, spotted skin and tiny ears.
====Name origin====
Quilava's name is a combination of ''quill'', a needlelike hair, and ''lava'', extrusive molten rock. Its Japanese name is a combination of ''magma'' and 山荒 ''yama-arashi'', [[wp:porcupine|porcupine]].

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Igelavar - From ''Igel'' (hedgehog) and ''lava''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Feurisson - From ''feu'' (fire) and ''hérisson'' (hedgehog).

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14, and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Like its pre-evolution {{p|Cyndaquil}}, the top half of its body is blue and the lower half milky-colored; however, its entire body is slimmer in proportion. It also seems to have triangular ears with red-colored insides. Quilava possesses a much smaller, more rounded nose than the one it had as Cyndaquil, and its eyes are open, revealing its red irises. It has five red-colored spots on its body in which it projects flame at will, two in a somewhat exclamation-mark shape on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Quilava's fur is non-flammable, so it can withstand flame attacks. The fire coming from its head and rear, which are stronger than Cyndaquil's, can be launched as a flame attack; it also uses gusts of superheated air as a battle technique.

===Behavior===
Quilava is known to be less timid than Cyndaquil, though its behavior appears to be affected by its surroundings. A very common occurrence during evolution is an increase in aggression. Although Quilava is a natural quadruped, it is prone to rising onto its hind legs on occasion, to enough of an extent as to be able to use {{m|Focus Punch}}, which usually can only be learned by naturally bipedal Pokémon.

Quilava seem to have a predilection for turning its back on its opponent before and when in battle. When before the battle, it is to display how ferociously its fire blazes. When in battle, this means it will attack with the fire on its back. The intensity of the flames also increases in battle, with its Fire-type attacks only {{a|Blaze|boosted}} when it is weakened. Quilava is described to apply its {{m|Quick Attack|nimbleness}} to dodge attacks, even while scorching its foes.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Quilava has been known to adapt to many habitats; however, it is usually found in the care of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Quilava.png|250px|thumb|right|Quilava in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Ash's Quilava====
{{main|Ash's Quilava}}
Ash's {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolved into Quilava in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', fighting one of Team Rocket's mechas.

====Other====
Quilava first played a major role in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'' as [[Macy]]'s Pokémon. She used it against Ash during the Silver Conference but was defeated by his {{AP|Squirtle}}.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]], a trainer that likes to conduct battles like a symphony, used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

A Quilava was used by one of two [[Ryan and Bryan|twin brothers]] in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins]]'' in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. The other twin used {{p|Croconaw}}.

===Minor appearances===
Quilava first appeared as a cameo in the episode ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar]]'' where {{Ash}} witnessed a trainer training with his Quilava for the [[Silver Conference]] and also considered for a short time of getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference following Cyndaquil's defeat against [[Satchel]]'s {{p|Magby}}.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
{{adv|Gold}}'s [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]] of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]] evolved into Quilava during a training session at the [[Pokémon daycare|Daycare Center]] outside of [[Goldenrod City]]. It then became massively more powerful than it was in its previous form, and defeated many of the Johto [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s' Pokémon for Gold. After being used in Gold's battle with his rival {{adv|Silver}} in the ruins of [[Ecruteak City]], it spent several weeks captive inside one of Gold's [[Poké Ball]]s and evolved simultaneously with [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]] and [[Megaree]]. In its fully evolved form, it berthed itself even more in battle for the boy.

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
* Quilava's normal Gold and Silver sprites had completely red eyes. This was later corrected in the games from Crystal and onward.
* Despite what several [[Pokédex]] entries may imply, Quilava is not immune to {{type2|Fire}} moves.
**However, a Quilava from the Dream World may have the ability Flash Fire, granting it an immunity to Fire-type moves.
===Origin===
Its appearance is similar to most animals in the {{wp|Mustela}} genus, although it is most likely a {{wp|stoat}} based on its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. It's appearence is also quite close to a {{wp|Paca}}, a South-american rodent with a slender body, spotted skin and tiny ears.
====Name origin====
Quilava's name is a combination of ''quill'', a needlelike hair, and ''lava'', extrusive molten rock. Its Japanese name is a combination of ''magma'' and 山荒 ''yama-arashi'', [[wp:porcupine|porcupine]].

==In other languages==

'''Platinum Berlitz''' (Japanese: '''プラチナ・ベルリッツ''' ''Platinum Berlitz'') is the thirteenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]] and the female main character for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} and the {{chap|Platinum}} story arcs. At first, she was only known by her family name; her given name is the same as the then unreleased third version to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{v2|Platinum}}.

==Character==
Platinum is a member of the house of Berlitz, a 200-year old and {{wp|zaibatsu|extremely financially powerful family}} of [[Sinnoh]]. She wears diamond and pearl rings. She does not give her name to commoners, instead insisting that they refer to her as '''Missy''' (Japanese: '''お嬢様''' ''Ojōsama'', a term used to refer to the daughter of someone of high class).

She is very knowledgeable as a result of reading lots of books during her childhood. However, since beginning her journey she has decided that it is better to actually experience as much as possible. For this reason, Platinum challenges the [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh and also takes on other challenges such as the [[Super Contest]]s of [[Hearthome City]]. She has shown a natural tendency to recognize patterns and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of various areas of Sinnoh and Pokémon in general, although towards the beginning of her journey, she had difficulty dealing with wild Pokémon.

==History==
==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Platinum Berlitz.png|thumb|left|Platinum at the beginning of the seventh chapter]]

Platinum is introduced at the beginning of the seventh chapter as a member of the ancient Berlitz family, which has a tradition for its member's coming of age to travel to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]] to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of the Berlitz's butler, Sebastian, her father hired [[Paka and Uji|two bodyguards]] to protect her on her journey. [[Professor Rowan]] provided her with three [[Pokédex]]es, three [[Pokétch]]es, and the three Sinnoh [[starter Pokémon]] so that Platinum would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research.

However, because {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} coincidentally match the bodyguards' description--one in a red scarf and the other in a green scarf--Platinum presumes they are her bodyguards instead, and the duo think that this journey is a sort of {{wp|Reality television|reality TV show}}. Platinum assumed that they were actually her bodyguards, chosen so the trio would not seem odd.

Platinum is amazed by the closeness of Pearl and Diamond, as well as their various skills: Pearl's assortment of {{pkmn|battle|battling}} advice and Diamond's ability to cook [[Poffin]]s and instincts on Pokémon. She also is an audience for their various Manzai attempts and is amused by them at times. Platinum often can be demanding of Pearl, annoying him. Platinum is also unaware of a [[CommonerShipping|crush]] Diamond has on her. It seems that, after saving her from [[Team Galactic]], Platinum gains respect for Diamond and Pearl, by calling them by their first names, but, she still refuses to give her name. The boys assume her name is "Missy", hearing it from Pearl's {{p|Chatot}}, who repeated it from a conversation between Platinum and her butler. After formally accepting them as her bodyguards and friends, she revealed her real name to them.

==={{chap|Platinum}}===
In the eighth chapter, Platinum is in the [[Battle Zone]] by herself and receives [[Steven Stone]]'s [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]]. She travels to the [[Battleground]], where she meets up with [[Looker]], who escorts her to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} as part of his ongoing investigation into [[Team Galactic]]. She has, so far, taken part in four of the five facilities, the Battle Castle, the Battle Arcade, the Battle Factory, and the Battle Hall, and has claimed victory in each. It seems that Platinum is trying to get information from each of the [[Frontier Brains]] about the [[Distortion World]] in order to save two "important people". She has also recently met [[Pearl (Adventures)|Pearl's]] father, [[Palmer]], and has gone off with him on his {{p|Cresselia}} to the Distortion World.

==Trivia==
*In the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl chapter of Pokémon Adventures, there were some moments where Platinum's first name was actually said, but her first name was always covered by another speech bubble (to show that it's drowned out by that person's speech). For example, when facing the gym leader [[Maylene]], she is announced as the challenger, but yells when her name is said, so that her first name is unheard. The writers were most likely waiting for the release of {{game|Platinum}} to name her after it.
*Platinum is one of three Pokédex holders to have a known last name, the other two are {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}.
**Out of the three, she is the only one not to share her last name with an in-game [[Pokémon Professor|professor]], as she is not related to one.
*Three of Platinum's Pokémon are in the same evolutionary family as {{an|Dawn}}'s Pokémon, though unlike Platinum, Dawn's are still in their unevolved state (though one, Pachirisu, doesn't evolve).
**She also had a Mamoswine at one point, though she gave it it to Diamond without ever being shown using it.
**Besides this, she commanded a Togekiss who originally belonged to another Trainer; however, in Platinum's case, this was just temporarily.
**Similary, they both rented and used a Grimer.
*Platinum is the only female Pokédex holder who does not name her Pokémon.
* [[James]], [[Juan]] and [[Selphy]] also have butlers named Sebastian.
*Midway into the Diamond & Pearl chapter, Platinum loses her Pokédex in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], where it is found by Maylene's father and nearly stolen by a [[Galactic Grunt]]. This makes her the only Pokédex Holder to lose their Pokédex that wasn't from [[Kanto]].
**Of course, this doesn't include {{Adv|Emerald}}, who, while having had his ID registered in the third [[Hoenn]] Pokédex, never actually received it until after [[Wally]] found and returned it.
*Platinum has a connection to {{p|Uxie}} due to her knowledgeable nature; {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} have similar connections to {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}}, respectively.
**Her {{an|Dawn|anime counterpart}} has a connection to {{p|Mesprit}} rather than {{p|Uxie}}.

'''Oldale Town''' (Japanese: '''コトキタウン''' ''Kotoki Town'') is located in southern [[Hoenn]], which only appeared in the anime in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''. Whereas {{wp|Kyushu}} coincides with Hoenn, Oldale approximates with {{wp|Saga, Saga|Saga City, Saga Prefecture}}. The town's motto is "Where things start off scarce."

South of Oldale Town is {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and Littleroot Town. North is {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, which can be {{m|Surf}}ed to use as a shortcut to Slateport City. West is {{rt|102|Hoenn}} and Petalburg beyond.

There is little of interest in Oldale Town in the [[Pokémon games]]; the simple town serves as a checkpoint for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s traveling between [[Littleroot Town]] and [[Petalburg City]].

The main character's rival in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} (Brendan or May depending on the player's gender) trains to the north of Oldale Town when the games begin.

==Places of interest==
[[File:Oldale Town RS.png|left|thumb|170px|Oldale Town in Ruby and Sapphire]]
===Tracking scientist===
At the beginning of the game, when the player first reaches the town, there will be a scientist, or more rather a maniac, studying at the entrance of {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, and believes he has found footprints of a newly discovered Pokémon, and will not let anyone pass, not even the player, until he is done. This is just a barrier in the game, to stop player from wandering off past Oldale Town until the player challenges the rival on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} and gets a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]]. Later on, after he is finished with his sampling, he concludes that it was his own footprints that he made earlier.

==Demographics==
The population of Oldale Town is 11, making it the second-smallest town in Hoenn (Littleroot Town being the smallest).

(Japanese: '''ベル''' ''Bel'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==In the games==
Bel is a childhood friend of the {{player}}. Though she is somewhat unreliable and a bit of an airhead, she also has a strong side, as shown when she embarks on a [[Pokémon journey]] despite her father's strong opposition.

Like the player and [[Cheren]], Bel receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Araragi]] at the start of the game; she chooses the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's starter. The player will encounter and battle her several times throughout the game.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bel anime.png|thumb|250px|Bel in the anime]]
Bel made her debut appearance in [[BW013]], when she is sent by [[Professor Araragi]] to deliver a badge case to {{Ash}}. Unfortunately, Bel is a very clumsy girl and ends up knocking Ash and {{an|Dent}} into a nearby stream. Despite being older than Ash, she has only just started her journey due to her father not allowing her to become a Trainer when she turned ten.

Bel is shown to be very excitable, for instance when a {{p|Chillarmy}} stole the badge case and Ash attempted to use {{AP|Oshawott}} to get it back, Bel commanded him to use {{m|Hydro Pump}} despite the fact that Oshawott wasn't her Pokémon nor did he even know that move. She later made the same mistake when she commanded {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Bel is also shown to be a bit of a crybaby, which was displayed when her {{p|Chaoboo}} was unable to defeat Chillarmy.

She also had a battle against {{Ash}}, where she used her Chaoboo against his Pikachu. She lost the battle after putting up a hard fight.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Bel's known Pokémon in the anime:

|desc={{p|Chaoboo}} is Bel's [[starter Pokémon]] that she received from [[Prof. Araragi]]. Bel attempted to use it to catch a wild {{p|Chillarmy}} that had stolen the dirty badge case that she had given to {{Ash}}. Though it has overwhelming power, it was taken down by Chillarmy with a combination of {{m|Hyper Voice}} and {{m|Tickle}}.

Bel later used Chaoboo to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Even though it significantly weakened Pikachu with a powerful {{m|Heat Stamp}}, the Fire Pig Pokémon still lost the battle after a full on collision with Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Chaoboo's known moves are {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Nitro Charge}}, {{m|Take Down}} and {{m|Heat Stamp}}.}}

|desc=Chillarmy first appeared stealing the badge case Bel was delivering to {{Ash}} in order to clean it. Bel sent out her {{p|Chaoboo}} to battle him. He was able to dodge some powerful moves but using {{m|Hyper Voice}} and {{m|Tickle}}, Chaoboo had to be returned. Ash was about to send his Pikachu to battle the Chillarmy when {{AP|Oshawott}} came out of his [[Poké Ball]] to battle him instead. Chillarmy dodged Oshawott's {{m|Tackle}} and evaded his {{m|Shell Blade}} before defeating him with a combination of Tickle and {{m|Sweep Slap}}.

Bel then tried tempting Chillarmy with a bowl and a dirty spoon which seemed to work, but Chillarmy just carried the bowl away. They found where Chillarmy was hiding and Ash sent out {{AP|Snivy}}, who used {{m|Attract}}, but Chillarmy used Attract back, forcing Ash to recall Snivy. {{AP|Pikachu}} battled last, and the pair seemed to be equally matched. Chillarmy used his Tickle-Hyper Voice combination, but Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which dazed it.

Bel then manages to catch him when he was tempted to clean her dirty [[Poké Ball]].

Chillarmy's known moves are {{m|Hyper Voice}}, {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Double Slap}} and {{m|Attract}}.}}

[[File:Bel Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Bel in Pokémon Adventures]]
Bel makes an appearance as one of the [[Pokédex holder]]s of the [[Unova]] region, she is a good friend of {{adv|Black}} and along with [[Cheren]], recommended him to be the third Pokédex holder for [[Professor Araragi]]. Due to an accident, her and Cheren's Pokédexes are currently broken, leaving Black with the only working one.

Later, in [[Kanoko Town]] it was delivered to {{Adv|Black}} along with Tepig and Snivy and once again stopped its partners from a fight. Later Bel took Oshawott after Black chose Pokabu, and gave Snivy to [[Cheren]] before he could even protest.}}

===In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga===
Bel is a friend of both [[Monta]] and [[Cheren]], not much is known about her, but although she is not as knowledgeable as Cheren. Her starter Pokémon was {{p|Oshawott}} at a type disadvantage to Monta's {{p|Snivy}}. She first appeared with Cheren, and after Cheren's lecture telling Monta his is inexperienced, Bel says he said too much. She then watches Monta and Cheren battle the Bike Gang King.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bel Live Caster anime.png|thumb|right|240px|Bel's Live caster in the anime]]
* Bel, [[Cheren]], and [[N]] are the only Trainers in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black and White]] with animated battle sprites.
* When Black and White were first released Bel was widely misreported to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{un|Pokémon League}} the first time the {{player}} challenges it.
* Bel is {{Ash}}'s first female [[rival]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, if one doesn't include {{an|Casey}}.
* If the player does not choose {{p|Tepig}} as their starter, Bel is the only rival who uses more than one {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon on her team, using {{p|Enbuoh}} and {{p|Shandera}} if {{p|Oshawott}} was chosen and {{p|Baokkie}} and Shandera if {{p|Snivy}} was chosen.
* In Pokémon Adventures, her starter Pokémon has a type advantage over the protagonist's, which is unlike the games.

(Japanese: '''ベル''' ''Bel'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==In the games==
Bel is a childhood friend of the {{player}}. Though she is somewhat unreliable and a bit of an airhead, she also has a strong side, as shown when she embarks on a [[Pokémon journey]] despite her father's strong opposition.

Like the player and [[Cheren]], Bel receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Araragi]] at the start of the game; she chooses the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's starter. The player will encounter and battle her several times throughout the game.

[[File:Bel anime.png|thumb|250px|Bel in the anime]]
Bel made her debut appearance in [[BW013]], when she is sent by [[Professor Araragi]] to deliver a badge case to {{Ash}}. Unfortunately, Bel is a very clumsy girl and ends up knocking Ash and {{an|Dent}} into a nearby stream. Despite being older than Ash, she has only just started her journey due to her father not allowing her to become a Trainer when she turned ten.

Bel is shown to be very excitable, for instance when a {{p|Chillarmy}} stole the badge case and Ash attempted to use {{AP|Oshawott}} to get it back, Bel commanded him to use {{m|Hydro Pump}} despite the fact that Oshawott wasn't her Pokémon nor did he even know that move. She later made the same mistake when she commanded {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Bel is also shown to be a bit of a crybaby, which was displayed when her {{p|Chaoboo}} was unable to defeat Chillarmy.

She also had a battle against {{Ash}}, where she used her Chaoboo against his Pikachu. She lost the battle after putting up a hard fight.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Bel's known Pokémon in the anime:

|desc={{p|Chaoboo}} is Bel's [[starter Pokémon]] that she received from [[Prof. Araragi]]. Bel attempted to use it to catch a wild {{p|Chillarmy}} that had stolen the dirty badge case that she had given to {{Ash}}. Though it has overwhelming power, it was taken down by Chillarmy with a combination of {{m|Hyper Voice}} and {{m|Tickle}}.

Bel later used Chaoboo to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Even though it significantly weakened Pikachu with a powerful {{m|Heat Stamp}}, the Fire Pig Pokémon still lost the battle after a full on collision with Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Chaoboo's known moves are {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Nitro Charge}}, {{m|Take Down}} and {{m|Heat Stamp}}.}}

|desc=Chillarmy first appeared stealing the badge case Bel was delivering to {{Ash}} in order to clean it. Bel sent out her {{p|Chaoboo}} to battle him. He was able to dodge some powerful moves but using {{m|Hyper Voice}} and {{m|Tickle}}, Chaoboo had to be returned. Ash was about to send his Pikachu to battle the Chillarmy when {{AP|Oshawott}} came out of his [[Poké Ball]] to battle him instead. Chillarmy dodged Oshawott's {{m|Tackle}} and evaded his {{m|Shell Blade}} before defeating him with a combination of Tickle and {{m|Sweep Slap}}.

Bel then tried tempting Chillarmy with a bowl and a dirty spoon which seemed to work, but Chillarmy just carried the bowl away. They found where Chillarmy was hiding and Ash sent out {{AP|Snivy}}, who used {{m|Attract}}, but Chillarmy used Attract back, forcing Ash to recall Snivy. {{AP|Pikachu}} battled last, and the pair seemed to be equally matched. Chillarmy used his Tickle-Hyper Voice combination, but Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which dazed it.

Bel then manages to catch him when he was tempted to clean her dirty [[Poké Ball]].

Chillarmy's known moves are {{m|Hyper Voice}}, {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Double Slap}} and {{m|Attract}}.}}

Bel makes an appearance as one of the [[Pokédex holder]]s of the [[Unova]] region, she is a good friend of {{adv|Black}} and along with [[Cheren]], recommended him to be the third Pokédex holder for [[Professor Araragi]]. Due to an accident, her and Cheren's Pokédexes are currently broken, leaving Black with the only working one.

Later, in [[Kanoko Town]] it was delivered to {{Adv|Black}} along with Tepig and Snivy and once again stopped its partners from a fight. Later [[Bel]] took Oshawott after Black chose Pokabu, and gave Snivy to [[Cheren]] before he could even protest.}}

===In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga===
Bel is a friend of both [[Monta]] and [[Cheren]], not much is known about her, but although she is not as knowledgeable as Cheren. Her starter Pokémon was {{p|Oshawott}} at a type disadvantage to Monta's {{p|Snivy}}. She first appeared with Cheren, and after Cheren's lecture telling Monta his is inexperienced, Bel says he said too much. She then watches Monta and Cheren battle the Bike Gang King.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bel Live Caster anime.png|thumb|right|240px|Bel's Live caster in the anime]]
* Bel, [[Cheren]], and [[N]] are the only Trainers in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black and White]] with animated battle sprites.
* When Black and White were first released Bel was widely misreported to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{un|Pokémon League}} the first time the {{player}} challenges it.
* Bel is {{Ash}}'s first female [[rival]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, if one doesn't include {{an|Casey}}.
* If the player does not choose {{p|Tepig}} as their starter, Bel is the only rival who uses more than one {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon on her team, using {{p|Enbuoh}} and {{p|Shandera}} if {{p|Oshawott}} was chosen and {{p|Baokkie}} and Shandera if {{p|Snivy}} was chosen.
* In Pokémon Adventures, her starter Pokémon has a type advantage over the protagonist's, which is unlike the games.

'''White''' (Japanese: '''ホワイト''' ''White'') is the fifteenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]] and one of the female main characters for the {{chap|Black & White}}.

==Character==
White is the president of the [[BW Agency]], a company that has a large supply of Pokémon actors that can be used for commercials, plays, movies, and stunts. Whenever her company's reputation is put on the line, she'll do anything to prevent it from happening.

==History==
White first appears watching the shooting for a Live Caster commercial when she encounters {{adv|Black}} shouting out his ambition to become a Master Trainer. When she discovers he has a male Tepig, she decides to hire him, due to her hearing that she needed to bring only a female Tepig, only to learn she really needed both genders. When Black is suspected of sabotaging White's commercial shooting, she tries to prove his innocence (actually just trying to not get him arrested, due to the fact that if he was arrested, so would his Tepig) and watches as he finds the real culprit, a {{p|Denchura}}, and defeating it at the cost of the shooting equipment. She pays for the destroyed equipment and states that she hired Black for her company, forcing him to call her "President."

Meguroco's eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypal robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. Two thick black stripes are present down Meguroco's back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color.

Extorchic: /* In the manga */

{{incomplete}}
[[File:Pokemon dog.jpg|thumb|240px|A real-world dog featured in a picture book]]
'''Real-world animals''' have been mentioned more than once to exist in the [[Pokémon world|world of Pokémon]]. Most often, they are mentioned in relation to a [[species|Pokémon species]]. For example, {{p|Pikachu}} is known as the "Mouse Pokémon" and was directly referred to in the anime as an "electric mouse", hinting that real-world mice exist in the [[Pokémon world]]. Other than this, all other mentions of animals are rare.

==In the games==
*A few Pokédex entries have mentioned the existence of real-world animals.
**In both {{p|Raichu}}'s and {{p|Gastly}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] [[Pokédex]] entries, {{wp|Indian Elephant}}s are mentioned.

Birds can also occasionally be heard in the background. Foods that contain meat products, such as {{wp|hamburgers}} and {{wp|chicken}} are often seen.

Animal appearances have become less frequent as more Pokémon have been added to take their places.

*''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''

'''Emerald''' (Japanese: '''エメラルド''' ''Emerald'') is the tenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His origin is unknown, although {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

==Personality==
Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} and Todd while he is sleeping.
[[File:Emerald habit Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Emerald's urinating habit]]
Emerald doesn't like Pokémon themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{adv|Crystal}}.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Sceptile}} got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with [[Berry|berries]] in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's [[Pokédex]] indicated that it evolved from [[Wally]]'s {{p|Grovyle}}. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

==Character history==
===Past===
As revealed at the end of the {{chap|Emerald}}, Emerald was one of the orphans that {{adv|Crystal}} was helping. He looked up to her and wanted a [[Pokédex]] of his own. [[Professor Oak]] did want to offer one to him at one point but he had declined due to his animosity towards Pokémon while in the Pokémon Academy. He spent his time roaming around Hoenn and met the [[Trick Master]], who gave him the gadgets that were inspired by a [[Fiore|faraway land]]. He also had a green gem that was used as a test to call out {{p|Rayquaza}}, but Emerald found the gem and it got attached to his forehead.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
He first appeared in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, having been brought there by {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. There he met [[Todd Snap|Todd]]. After he bound and gagged {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} and stole his {{p|Salamence}}, Emerald was about to be banned from the Frontier, until it was revealed that Emerald was attracting media attention. Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the [[Frontier Brain]]s and [[Scott]] eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the seven Brains within seven days.

Later on, Emerald's reason for visiting the Frontier is revealed: he was assigned by [[Professor Oak]] and Crystal to capture {{p|Jirachi}}. He attempted it the first time after his fight with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}} and was almost successful. However, after that, he went back to his original challenge.

After a few days, Emerald, along with 4 other Pokédex owners, were trying to free their seniors, and friends, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Yellow}}. And succeeded.
Then, the 10 Pokédex owners, along with Emerald, used their ultimate moves and vanished the Sea Beast.
After the controversy, Emerald the Pokédex owners competed in the Battle Dome tournament, and won the Tactic symbol.

==Trivia==
* Emerald is the only character named after a [[Version|third version]] in Pokémon Adventures that is male, as {{adv|Green}}{{tt|*|In Japan, Green is Blue, and the Blue Version was the ''third version'' of Generation I in Japan.}}, {{adv|Yellow}}{{tt|*|It should be noted that Yellow is a fourth game.}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} are all female.
* Emerald and Yellow are the only main characters of Pokémon Adventures not directly [[cross-canon counterparts|based on]] game characters.

** It should also be noted that {{adv|Gold}}'s {{p|Sudowoodo}} is a male, while Emerald's is a female. The only other time that two main characters of Pokémon Adventures had two [[Pika|Pokémon of the same]] [[Chuchu|species and opposite genders]] an egg was produced by the two.
* The [[Trick Master]] says his Soil Gun was based on a device he saw in a faraway land, which might refer to a [[Capture Styler]] that calms a Pokémon with circles.
* Emerald's birthday is May 31, and emerald is the birthstone for those born in May.
* Emerald is the only Pokémon Adventures character whose first Pokémon was actually one of the starter Pokémon from the game series - or rather its evolution, Sceptile.
** Emerald is also the only main character to lose his first Pokémon before actually obtaining it.
* Emerald and {{adv|Green}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}, they are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}. The only other two are {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Ruby}} who are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancers}}.

'''Emerald''' (Japanese: '''エメラルド''' ''Emerald'') is the tenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His origin is unknown, although {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

==Personality==
Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} and Todd while he is sleeping.
[[File:Emerald habit Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Emerald's urinating habit]]
Emerald doesn't like Pokémon themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{adv|Crystal}}.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Sceptile}} got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with [[Berry|berries]] in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's [[Pokédex]] indicated that it evolved from [[Wally]]'s {{p|Grovyle}}. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

==Character history==
===Past===
As revealed at the end of the {{chap|Emerald}}, Emerald was one of the orphans that {{adv|Crystal}} was helping. He looked up to her and wanted a [[Pokédex]] of his own. [[Professor Oak]] did want to offer one to him at one point but he had declined due to his animosity towards Pokémon while in the Pokémon Academy. He spent his time roaming around Hoenn and met the [[Trick Master]], who gave him the gadgets that were inspired by a [[Fiore|faraway land]]. He also had a green gem that was used as a test to call out {{p|Rayquaza}}, but Emerald found the gem and it got attached to his forehead.

Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the [[Frontier Brain]]s and [[Scott]] eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the seven Brains within seven days.

'''Emerald''' (Japanese: '''エメラルド''' ''Emerald'') is the tenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His origin is unknown, although {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

==Personality==
Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} and Todd while he is sleeping.
[[File:Emerald habit Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Emerald's urinating habit]]
Emerald doesn't like Pokémon themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{adv|Crystal}}.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Sceptile}} got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with [[Berry|berries]] in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's [[Pokédex]] indicated that it evolved from [[Wally]]'s {{p|Grovyle}}. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

==Character history==
===Past===
As revealed at the end of the {{chap|Emerald}}, Emerald was one of the orphans that {{adv|Crystal}} was helping. He looked up to her and wanted a [[Pokédex]] of his own. [[Professor Oak]] did want to offer one to him at one point but he had declined due to his animosity towards Pokémon while in the Pokémon Academy. He spent his time roaming around Hoenn and met the [[Trick Master]], who gave him the gadgets that were inspired by a [[Fiore|faraway land]]. He also had a green gem that was used as a test to call out {{p|Rayquaza}}, but Emerald found the gem and it got attached to his forehead.
[[File:Child Emerald Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|A younger Emerald]]
==={{chap|Emerald}}===
He first appeared in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, having been brought there by {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. There he met [[Todd Snap|Todd]]. After he bound and gagged {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} and stole his {{p|Salamence}}, Emerald was about to be banned from the Frontier, until it was revealed that Emerald was attracting media attention. Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the [[Frontier Brain]]s and [[Scott]] eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the seven Brains within seven days.

Later on, Emerald's reason for visiting the Frontier is revealed: he was assigned by [[Professor Oak]] and Crystal to capture {{p|Jirachi}}. He attempted it the first time after his fight with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}} and was almost successful. However, after that, he went back to his original challenge.
[[File:Emerald Outfit Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Emeralds outfit]]
After a few days, Emerald, along with 4 other Pokédex owners, were trying to free their seniors, and friends, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Yellow}}. And succeeded.
Then, the 10 Pokédex owners, along with Emerald, used their ultimate moves and vanished the Sea Beast.
After the controversy, Emerald the Pokédex owners competed in the Battle Dome tournament, and won the Tactic symbol.

Emerald arrived just seconds after [[Professor Birch]] lost Treecko's Poké Ball in the waves. Treecko was eventually found by [[Wally]], and helped him to climb the [[Sky Pillar]] to awaken {{p|Rayquaza}}. While climbing, it evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}. When they reached the top, Rayquaza's power sent Grovyle flying out of the pillar, and it was lost again. After that, he became a rental Pokémon in the {{ho|Battle Factory}} (later revealed to have been smuggled there by [[Guile Hideout]] to drive the nosy reporters out). He went berserk after being stung by a {{m|Poison Sting}} and Emerald calmed it down, then he used it in the battle against {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}. After defeating Noland, Emerald took it upon realizing that it was no rental Pokémon (all Pokémon in the 50 course were of level 50 only, and Sceptile was 51). It was later proven that this Sceptile was the same lost Treecko when {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} went to the Battle Frontier and their starters, [[Zuzu]] and [[Toro]], recognized Sceptile.}}

But the Eon Pokémon do not join Emerald's team, neither they participate in any battle, instead, they serve as agents to help him. For example, Latias would shapeshift into a maid from the [[Battle Pike]], a reporter and a nurse, to get information for Emerald and [[Todd Snap]], and Latios would use his mental link with Latias to show them scenes he overlook from the sky. After the crisis was over and Emerald's mission was finished, they returned to [[Southern Island]]}}

===Rented===
These are the Pokémon that he used for the matches that required rental Pokémon:

==Trivia==
* Emerald is the only character named after a [[Version|third version]] in Pokémon Adventures that is male, as {{adv|Green}}{{tt|*|In Japan, Green is Blue, and the Blue Version was the ''third version'' of Generation I in Japan.}}, {{adv|Yellow}}{{tt|*|It should be noted that Yellow is a fourth game.}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} are all female.
* Emerald and Yellow are the only main characters of Pokémon Adventures not directly [[cross-canon counterparts|based on]] game characters.
** Emerald's conception on the other hand is probably, much like [[Enta (manga)|Enta]]'s, based on the [[apprentice]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)|Battle Tower]] in [[Pokémon Emerald]].
* {{p|Sudowoodo|Four}} {{p|Snorlax|Pokémon}} {{p|Mantine|owned}} {{p|Mr. Mime|by}} Emerald are also owned by [[Gold (Adventures)|other]] [[Red (Adventures)|Trainers]] [[Crystal (Adventures)|in]] Pokémon Adventures; notably, they also all received pre-evolutions in [[Generation IV]].
** All of the Pokémon listed also meet their counterparts at the end of the Emerald Arc. They all become acquainted and are seen lounging with each other.
** It should also be noted that {{adv|Gold}}'s {{p|Sudowoodo}} is a male, while Emerald's is a female. The only other time that two main characters of Pokémon Adventures had two [[Pika|Pokémon of the same]] [[Chuchu|species and opposite genders]] an egg was produced by the two.
* The [[Trick Master]] says his Soil Gun was based on a device he saw in a faraway land, which might refer to a [[Capture Styler]] that calms a Pokémon with circles.
* Emerald's birthday is May 31, and emerald is the birthstone for those born in May.
* Emerald is the only Pokémon Adventures character whose first Pokémon was actually one of the starter Pokémon from the game series - or rather its evolution, Sceptile.
** Emerald is also the only main character to lose his first Pokémon before actually obtaining it.
* Emerald and {{adv|Green}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}, they are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}. The only other two are {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Ruby}} who are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancers}}.
*Emerald and {{adv|Red}} are the only Dexholders with no revealed family members (although Emerald has once mentioned his deceased parents).

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a friend and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==Character==
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|left|200px|Misty as seen in the {{series|original}}]]
A stubborn tomboy, Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters|four sisters]] who live in the Cerulean Gym. Fed up with her more glamorous older sisters, Misty left the gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]. She met {{Ash}} when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She traveled around with Ash, [[Brock]], and {{Tracey}} through the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]] region.

Her purpose was ostensibly to get Ash to replace her [[bicycle]], which he had accidentally destroyed when they first met. However, Misty often seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends.

During her travels with Ash, she, aside from training to become the best {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]], also acted as his coach in many Pokémon battles. She is somewhat considered as a rival to Ash due to their competitive nature. It was also her job to drag Brock away from women by his ear.

Misty can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered, crazy, or frustrated, and how loud and violent she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, since though her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, there's many things she loves to do and she is very confident in her abilities in all aspects of life. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, however, and she has a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] which she designed to look like herself and gave to Ash as a gift. The one [[Elemental types|Pokémon type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type2|Bug}}s; she tends to freak out in most cases whenever she encounters a Bug-type, which was first demonstrated when she refused to befriend Ash's {{AP|Caterpie|Butterfree}}. However, bugs are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrots}} and {{wp|peppers}}. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, like {{p|Pineco}}.

Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''. She defeated Ash in battle in the second round. Misty made it all the way to the best eight of the Whirl Cup, but narrowly lost to [[Trinity]] in the end.

[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty showing her fear of bugs]]
After Ash competed in the [[Silver Conference]], however, her bicycle was repaired and returned to her by the [[Viridian City]] [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash, especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and [[Violet]], called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym.

While working in the gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for [[Professor Oak]].

Misty reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' where she meets up with Ash and Brock again, along with meeting May and Max for the first time. During the episode ''A Togepi Mirage'', her Togepi evolves into a Togetic and helps defend the Togepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decides to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty. She makes three more appearances in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]''.

==Appearance==
Misty's usual hairstyle is a side ponytail which sticks out on the left side of her head. There are times she has let her hair down, sometimes when she goes to sleep. She has also been shown wearing hair extensions when she wore her mermaid costumes in the ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Misty is also notably taller than Ash but shorter than Brock. She has worn three main outfits in the series and all of them sport the colors yellow, blue, and red.

==Pokémon==
Either through the tradition of her family's gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train Water Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences. Her love of water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming gym leader, she has overcome her fear of Gyarados and continues to learn more about caring and battling with water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As she is currently residing in the Cerulean Gym, all of her Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

She presumably also has access to any other Pokémon at the gym, such as [[Caserin and Luverin|Luverin]], {{p|Seaking}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and {{p|Seel}}, due to being the Gym Leader.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Misty Dengeki.png|thumb|right|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} series based on the Pokémon anime.

She first appears in the chapter ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and tells {{Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Misty MPJ.jpg|thumb|right|Misty in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Misty, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Misty and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Misty is the only one of the main characters to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
* Misty is the only one of Ash's friends to have a [[Misty's Starmie|Psychic-type Pokémon]].
* Misty is one of only two main characters that has no parent revealed, the other being {{Tracey}}.
* Only two of Misty's Pokémon are not {{type2|Water}}: {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, though Azurill can {{p|Marill|evolve into one}} later.
** Also both of these Pokémon are {{type2|Normal}} and both were hatched from eggs she got from other main characters and debuted in a different generation from their fully evolved forms.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a gym (albeit an unofficial gym), since she challenged and won against [[Dorian|the unofficial Johto Water Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* She is the only main character to have genderless Pokémon in her [[party|team]]. In fact, she has two, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* She is the first female companion of Ash who did not start off as a rookie. She is also considered as a rival by Ash and acts as his coach during Pokémon battles. Unlike Dawn and May, who are Pokémon Coordinators, Misty focuses on being a Water Pokémon Master.
* She is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being Togepi.
* Misty is the only one of her sisters not named after a flower, the names of her sisters being Daisy, Violet, and Lily. However, she does have the name for {{wp|baby's breath}} in Japanese.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a friend and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==Character==
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|left|200px|Misty as seen in the {{series|original}}]]
A stubborn tomboy, Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters|four sisters]] who live in the Cerulean Gym. Fed up with her more glamorous older sisters, Misty left the gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]. She met {{Ash}} when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She traveled around with Ash, [[Brock]], and {{Tracey}} through the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]] region.

Her purpose was ostensibly to get Ash to replace her [[bicycle]], which he had accidentally destroyed when they first met. However, Misty often seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends.

During her travels with Ash, she, aside from training to become the best {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]], also acted as his coach in many Pokémon battles. She is somewhat considered as a rival to Ash due to their competitive nature. It was also her job to drag Brock away from women by his ear.

Misty can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered, crazy, or frustrated, and how loud and violent she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, since though her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, there's many things she loves to do and she is very confident in her abilities in all aspects of life. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, however, and she has a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] which she designed to look like herself and gave to Ash as a gift. The one [[Elemental types|Pokémon type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type2|Bug}}s; she tends to freak out in most cases whenever she encounters a Bug-type, which was first demonstrated when she refused to befriend Ash's {{AP|Caterpie|Butterfree}}. However, bugs are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrots}} and {{wp|peppers}}. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, like {{p|Pineco}}.

Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''. She defeated Ash in battle in the second round. Misty made it all the way to the best eight of the Whirl Cup, but narrowly lost to [[Trinity]] in the end.

[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty showing her fear of bugs]]
After Ash competed in the [[Silver Conference]], however, her bicycle was repaired and returned to her by the [[Viridian City]] [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash, especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and [[Violet]], called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym.

While working in the gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for [[Professor Oak]].

Misty reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' where she meets up with Ash and Brock again, along with meeting May and Max for the first time. During the episode ''A Togepi Mirage'', her Togepi evolves into a Togetic and helps defend the Togepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decides to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty. She makes three more appearances in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]''.

==Appearance==
Misty's usual hairstyle is a side ponytail which sticks out on the left side of her head. There are times she has let her hair down, sometimes when she goes to sleep. She has also been shown wearing hair extensions when she wore her mermaid costumes in the ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Misty is also notably taller than Ash but shorter than Brock. She has worn three main outfits in the series and all of them sport the colors yellow, blue, and red.

==Pokémon==
Either through the tradition of her family's gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train Water Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences. Her love of water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming gym leader, she has overcome her fear of Gyarados and continues to learn more about caring and battling with water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As she is currently residing in the Cerulean Gym, all of her Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

She presumably also has access to any other Pokémon at the gym, such as [[Caserin and Luverin|Luverin]], {{p|Seaking}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and {{p|Seel}}, due to being the Gym Leader.

Legendary beasts

Extorchic: /* Trivia */

[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|300px|Raikou, Entei and Suicune]]The '''legendary beasts''' is the collective term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

The beasts are available in several of the Pokémon games, as opposed to their other legendary trio counterparts. The three (reduced to just Raikou and Entei in {{v2|Crystal}}) are available [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] the wilds of [[Johto]] in [[Generation II]]. Each has a [[base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 580|580}}, divided among the stats as 115-115-100-90-85-70, in different orders.

They appear in [[Generation III]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]], where they are transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] and owned by the admins [[Dakim]], [[Venus]], and [[Ein]]. They are also found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, where one of the trio is roaming the [[Kanto]] region. The [[type]] of the one that happens to roam Kanto is the one that is [[super effective]] against the player's choice of a [[starter Pokémon]]. To be specific, Raikou appears to trainers who chose {{p|Squirtle}}, Entei to those who took in {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and Suicune to those who chose to go with {{p|Charmander}}.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], each of them is the boss of one of the three sacred fields, requiring the Clear Wing to enter this trial in the first place. After the player defeats Entei at [[Fiery Field]] the Clear Wing becomes the Red Wing, allowing access to Raikou's [[Lightning Field]], defeating it turns the Red Wing into the Silver Wing, Suicune can then be fought at [[Northwind Field]] and defeating it will change the Silver Wing into the Rainbow Wing allowing access to [[Mt. Faraway]] so the player can battle the beast's trio master, {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
[[File:Zoroark legendary beasts.png|thumb|left|The legendary beasts and Zoroark]]
A direct counterpart to the [[legendary birds|Generation I trio]], the beasts find their [[trio master|master]] in {{p|Ho-Oh}}, who revived them when [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned. They are said to embody the three events that happened to the tower: the {{t|Electric|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{t|fire}} that burned in the tower, and the {{t|Water|rain}} that put it out. It is speculated, however, that the three that Ho-Oh created are not the only members of their respective species. In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', [[Professor Oak]] speaks about the Suicune in question as if the Pokémon was only part of a species. Pokédex entries also state that an Entei is born every time a volcano erupts. In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, an Entei statue was brought to life when the player completes all four challenges of the [[Jungle Relic]]. It was later captured by [[Gordor]], along with the other two beasts, showing that [[Fiore]] might have its own trio of beasts. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], the legendary beasts play an important role in the game's progress as well.

Of the three beasts, Suicune finds the most independence, appearing as a [[version mascot]] on the box art of {{v2|Crystal}}, and taking an expanded role in that game. Suicune also appears in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as a protagonist, while Entei was the first of the three to have a movie appearance, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. Raikou was delegated to a more minor role, appearing as the central character in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where {{Jo|Jimmy}}, not {{Ash}}, encountered it. However, [[Misty's Togepi]] and a {{p|Houndoom}} did see the silhouette of a Raikou in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. The Legendary Beasts made their first group appearance in the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', albeit in {{shiny}} form. By transferring the shiny legendary beasts given away by promotional events to the upcoming games {{game|Black and White|s}}, players are able to battle and capture the Pokémon {{p|Zoroark}}, who will transform to a member of this trio during the battle.

* The Legendary Beasts are the only trio in which all of the members are resistant against the {{t|Steel}} type.
* It was mentioned that three Pokémon perished in the Brass Tower and were revived by Ho-oh into this trio, it might be possible that this three Pokémon were a {{p|Jolteon}}, a {{p|Flareon}} and a {{p|Vaporeon}}; due to the fact that the Tower is in [[Ecruteak City]] (where the [[Kimono Girls]] also reside), since they share similar physics and types, and due to the trio, in the [[Dream World]], have the same abilites that this three Pokémon have normally.

==In the anime==
The Sanyou Gym first appeared in [[BW005]]; it is a very posh building with pillars. Through the front doors is a cafe where [[Pod]], {{an|Dent}} and [[Corn]] are waiters. The walls of the cafe open up to reveal a passageway to the battleground. The battleground features rocky terrain on the battlefield, as well as an area for spectators to cheer on their friends during battle.

==Trivia==
* While all other Gyms, aside from [[Viridian Gym]] in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, specialize in a specific type, the Sanyou Gym is the only one so far that specializes in several types.
* The Sanyou Gym is the first gym in the games to have a different Gym Leader depending on the starter the player picked.
* The Sanyou Gym is the first gym where the Trainers in the gym do not use the Gym Leader's specialty type.
* In the anime, similar to the [[Cerulean Gym]], this Gym offer an extra service to the public (a café), and is hosted by siblings with many fans.

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the fifth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he "borrowed" from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the "Poké House". He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.

He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous. Gold's mother has described him as "careless".
Gold also tends to lie at times, and other people around him notice it.

Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''"Breeder'''" (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[File:Gold Adventures.png|left|thumb|150px|Gold during the third chapter]]
During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). On his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Exbo]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.

Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City, he realizes that [[Polibo]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Exbo heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.

He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help, he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the Ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a male. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Exbo use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it turns out it took Gold's Polibo. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Togebo's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.

Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one: if he lost, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's granddaughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. This was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier than him. He found a Teddiursa and tried to catch it to no avail. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Aibo ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his billiard cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetch'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle, Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Polibo's Water Gun made it react more than Exbo's {{m|Ember}} attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Sudobo.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Aibo's Poké Ball disguised as a cue ball, his egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Togebo, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Togebo defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Togebo became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Togebo to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Exbo evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care couple then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Togebo. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Polibo evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Togebo, however Togebo gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.
[[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's {{m|Aeroblast}} attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Poké Ball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful {{m|Mega Drain}}, but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into {{p|Pichu}}, which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[File:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|150px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]
[[File:Gold HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|right|100px|Gold during the ninth chapter]]
During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).

==Trivia==
* Gold was the only character introduced without a major goal that he desires to achieve, although {{adv|Green}} now falls into this category now that she has found her parents.
* Gold's {{wp|blood type}} is B.
* Almost all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that Gold owned had their name ending in -taro in Japanese and [[Chuang Yi]]'s Singaporean English translations, which is a common ending for boys names in Japan. In the [[Viz Media]] English translation, the '-taro' suffix is replaced with '-bo'.
* Gold and {{adv|Ruby}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}; they are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancer}}. The only other two are {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Emerald}} who are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}.

'''Platinum Berlitz''' (Japanese: '''プラチナ・ベルリッツ''' ''Platinum Berlitz'') is the thirteenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]] and the female main character for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} and the {{chap|Platinum}} story arcs. At first, she was only known by her family name; her given name is the same as the then unreleased third version to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{v2|Platinum}}.

==Character==
Platinum is a member of the house of Berlitz, a 200-year old and {{wp|zaibatsu|extremely financially powerful family}} of [[Sinnoh]]. She wears diamond and pearl rings. She does not give her name to commoners, instead insisting that they refer to her as '''Missy''' (Japanese: '''お嬢様''' ''Ojōsama'', a term used to refer to the daughter of someone of high class).

She is very knowledgeable as a result of reading lots of books during her childhood. However, since beginning her journey she has decided that it is better to actually experience as much as possible. For this reason, Platinum challenges the [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh and also takes on other challenges such as the [[Super Contest]]s of [[Hearthome City]]. She has shown a natural tendency to recognize patterns and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of various areas of Sinnoh and Pokémon in general, although towards the beginning of her journey, she had difficulty dealing with wild Pokémon.

==History==
==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Bertlitz.png|thumb|left|Platinum at the beginning of the seventh chapter]]

Platinum is introduced at the beginning of the seventh chapter as a member of the ancient Berlitz family, which has a tradition for its member's coming of age to travel to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]] to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of the Berlitz's butler, Sebastian, her father hired [[Paka and Uji|two bodyguards]] to protect her on her journey. [[Professor Rowan]] provided her with three [[Pokédex]]es, three [[Pokétch]]es, and the three Sinnoh [[starter Pokémon]] so that Platinum would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research.

However, because {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} coincidentally match the bodyguards' description--one in a red scarf and the other in a green scarf--Platinum presumes they are her bodyguards instead, and the duo think that this journey is a sort of {{wp|Reality television|reality TV show}}. Platinum assumed that they were actually her bodyguards, chosen so the trio would not seem odd.

Platinum is amazed by the closeness of Pearl and Diamond, as well as their various skills: Pearl's assortment of {{pkmn|battle|battling}} advice and Diamond's ability to cook [[Poffin]]s and instincts on Pokémon. She also is an audience for their various Manzai attempts and is amused by them at times. Platinum often can be demanding of Pearl, annoying him. Platinum is also unaware of a [[CommonerShipping|crush]] Diamond has on her. It seems that, after saving her from [[Team Galactic]], Platinum gains respect for Diamond and Pearl, by calling them by their first names, but, she still refuses to give her name. The boys assume her name is "Missy", hearing it from Pearl's {{p|Chatot}}, who repeated it from a conversation between Platinum and her butler. After formally accepting them as her bodyguards and friends, she revealed her real name to them.

==={{chap|Platinum}}===
In the eighth chapter, Platinum is in the [[Battle Zone]] by herself and receives [[Steven Stone]]'s [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]]. She travels to the [[Battleground]], where she meets up with [[Looker]], who escorts her to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} as part of his ongoing investigation into [[Team Galactic]]. She has, so far, taken part in four of the five facilities, the Battle Castle, the Battle Arcade, the Battle Factory, and the Battle Hall, and has claimed victory in each. It seems that Platinum is trying to get information from each of the [[Frontier Brains]] about the [[Distortion World]] in order to save two "important people". She has also recently met [[Pearl (Adventures)|Pearl's]] father, [[Palmer]], and has gone off with him on his {{p|Cresselia}} to the Distortion World.

==Trivia==
*In the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl chapter of Pokémon Adventures, there were some moments where Platinum's first name was actually said, but her first name was always covered by another speech bubble (to show that it's drowned out by that person's speech).

**Besides this, she commanded a Togekiss who originally belonged to another Trainer; however, in Platinum's case, this was just temporarily.
*Platinum is the only female Pokédex holder who does not name her Pokémon.
* [[James]], [[Juan]] and [[Selphy]] also have butlers named Sebastian.
*Midway into the Diamond & Pearl chapter, Platinum loses her Pokédex in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], where it is found by Maylene's father and nearly stolen by a [[Galactic Grunt]]. This makes her the only Pokédex Holder to lose their Pokédex that wasn't from [[Kanto]].
**Of course, this doesn't include {{Adv|Emerald}}, who, while having had his ID registered in the third [[Hoenn]] Pokédex, never actually received it until after [[Wally]] found and returned it.
*Platinum has a connection to {{p|Uxie}} due to her Knowledgeable nature, {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} have similar connections to {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} respectively.
**This is similar to {{an|Brock}}'s connection to {{p|Azelf}}.
***However, ironically her {{an|Dawn|anime counterpart}} has a connection to {{p|Mesprit}} rather than {{p|Uxie}}.

Aibo is one of the family Pokémon at {{adv|Gold}}'s home in [[New Bark Town]] that Gold grew up with. Aibo has also been known to help around in Gold's house. Like Gold, he is mischievous. Aibo's tail allows him to hold items and use many different tricks and tactics in battles. He is capable of swimming as seen in ''[[PS096|Number One Donphan]]'' In battle, he is mostly used for distraction, not being very powerful, though he proved to be a critical asset in narrowing down the evil [[Masked Man]]'s identity by scraping off a badge remnant from his clothes with his {{m|Scratch}} attack. He is also used to build up stats to {{m|Baton Pass}} to Utaro using {{m|Agility}}.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, Aibo uses Gold's billiard cue to power up [[Exbo]]'s attack on [[Guile Hideout]].

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Aibo evolved into an {{p|Ambipom}}, and no longer used Gold's billiard cue when Exbo used {{m|Blast Burn}}. Even in its evolved state, it was almost subdued from a single {{m|Hyper Voice}} attack from {{p|Arceus}} with the rest of Gold's Pokémon.

'''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''), or '''{{tt|Amarillo del Bosque Verde|Yellow of the Viridian Forest}}''' (Japanese: '''イエロー・デ・トキワグローブ''' ''Yellow de Tokiwa Grove'') is the fourth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. She first appeared in [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|volume three]], when she was saved by {{adv|Red}} from a rampaging wild {{p|Dratini}}.

When Red goes missing, {{adv|Green}} sends Yellow out to find him, and has her disguise herself as a boy. Most of the characters did not learn her real gender until the end of the G/S/C saga: Yellow's straw hat hides her ponytail as well as containing the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}}.

Yellow's first Pokémon is a {{p|Rattata}} that Red helped her catch. Her starter Pokémon is [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] which travels with her when she searches for Red. She later obtained her own Pikachu, Chuchu, which made a {{p|Pichu}} egg with Red's Pikachu at the Johto [[Pokémon daycare]].

Yellow is quite naive, and acts very much like a little child. She hates it when Pokémon are injured, hers or her opponent's, and has developed a style of battle in which neither her nor her opponent's Pokémon are hurt unless it is absolutely necessary.

Yellow's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon healing and is called the '''"Healer'''" (癒やす者 ''Healer''). She received psychic abilities from the [[Viridian Forest]], which include the ability to read the emotions of Pokémon and heal their wounds. Yellow is physically small compared to the rest of the characters.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[‎Image:YellowRGBChapter.png|right|thumb|100px|Yellow in the first chapter]]
Yellow makes her first, unnamed appearance in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini]]'', towards the end of the first chapter, when {{adv|Red}} saves her from a rampaging {{p|Dratini}}. Red then helps Yellow catch her first Pokémon, [[Ratty|a Rattata]], and leaves a strong impression on her with his words about raising Pokémon with a kind and gentle heart and his actions to save [[Viridian Forest]] from the menace of [[Team Rocket]].
Yellow makes a later appearance after {{adv|Red}}'s battle with [[Giovanni]], after he falls unconscious. Yellow had found Red at the edge of the forest, and healed Red to good health.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
[[‎Image:YellowSecondchapter.png|left|thumb|Yellow in the second chapter]]
Two years later, when {{adv|Red}} mysteriously goes missing after receiving a battle invitation from [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]], Yellow just as mysteriously shows up in [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]], disguised as a boy. She takes Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], and promises to find Red. Oak doesn't trust her and he makes her battle his {{p|Spearow}} with her Doduo. She defeats him and doesn't even injure either Pokémon, allowing her to gain Oak's trust. She is then fishing in the [[Viridian Forest]] when Pika wanders off and sees Bill drowning. Pika runs back to Yellow and she reads his mind and rescues Bill from a {{p|Seadra}} which she catches and releases after healing it.

Bill then stays with her for a while, and the two of them run into [[Lorelei]] of the Elite Four, who explains everything to them, which Yellow seemed to already know. They escaped her and her {{p|Dewgong}}, but she later found them in a cave and attacked them with her {{p|Cloyster}}. She was attempting to bury them alive in that cave by combining Dewgong's and Cloyster's attacks to form an Ice Spike Cannon. Yellow then had Pika act as a decoy for a bit by throwing his Poké Ball out through a small crack and then got him back in. She read his mind and got out of the cave by using a the same tactic except with a fake Poké Ball as a decoy. They are chased by Lorelei and when they jump into a lake she freezes it over, and starts to ask questions about Yellow's ability. While she was asking these questions, [[Ratty]] was biting through the iceberg and they were freed and before Lorelei could once again call out her Pokémon to stop them, {{adv|Green}} appeared and knocked her Poké Ball away. Lorelei then contacted [[Agatha]] and told her about Yellow's ability, proclaiming her to become a potential threat and that she is now a target of the Elite Four as well.

She then is found by Erika who hears about her from Misty and wants to put [[Pika]] under her care. After hearing about a Red look-a-like Pika rushes off. The look-a-like turns out to be a [[Super Nerd]] who was hired by [[Agatha]] to kidnap Pika. After chasing him for a while the super nerd uses his {{p|Persian}} to Scratch on the walls to hurt Yellows ears and make her lose her focus, than he uses his {{p|Marowak}}'s Bonemerang laced with spores from his {{p|Paras}} in order to incapacitate her Pokémon. She later recalled her Pokémon and healed them, taking a Bonemerang to the ribs because of hit. She then had her Pokémon execute a plan that she thought of before she was knocked out. She had Dody and Ratty dig up pieces of metal and had Pika zap them, and since the Super Nerd was in an electric proof suit, they hit him. Before the good Gym Leaders of Kanto can fully examine him a Gastly appears and tries to whisk him away. When Blaine tries to have his Growlithe use Fire Blast to take it out it almost hits a Caterpie which Yellow manages to save. {{adv|Blue}} appears and defeats Gastly, telling the Gym Leaders that that it belonged to [[Agatha]] of the Elite Four. Yellow then asks to train with him, which he allows, but before she leaves, Misty gives her Omny and Brock gives her Gravvy.

When training with Blue she then found out that the Caterpie she had saved followed her all of the way to their training area. After Blue tells her to catch that Caterpie it becomes clear that Yellow doesn't actually know the basics of Pokémon. She didn't know what Ratty's attacks were, she didn't know what Evolution was and cried when Ratty evolved, and all of the Pokémon she owned she obtained other than through battle. She then decided to have her new Caterpie which she named [[Kitty]] get to know Pika while she got Vermilion Flowers, which are supposed to be a Caterpie's favorite food, only to find that the two of them were asleep after Pika saved it from death multiple times (from a cliff, several cacti, and three {{p|Pidgeotto}}). After training Dody and Ratty for about a week she then attempts to train the Pokémon she gained from the Gym Leaders but without their respective leaders they were confused and refused to listen to Yellow. A pack of Mankey then appeared because they were hungry and planned on eating Yellow and Blue and Blue instructed Yellow to defeat the Primeape leader while he took out the front lines. When it became clear that she couldn't he used his Porygon to defeat it and the pack ran away. Yellow then healed the Primeape and told Blue that she would continue to train on her own.

Since she didn't have a Pokémon that could Surf Blue told her to take the SS Anne where she ran into the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]]. They exploded the SS Anne using a Slowpoke and Yellow takes them on wanting to see how much Blue's training has payed off. When all of the passengers fall off the boat as a result of the bomb she has Caterpie use String Shot to make buoys to ensure the passenger's safety. She then defeats the Rockets quite easily with the small help of the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman. The Chairman then learns of Red's kidnapping.

She then learns of the legendary evolutionary stones that evolve Pokémon but do not disappear after use. She tries to get it only to be swarmed by a group of Tentacool. She then finds out the reason was that a baby Tentacool was stuck under a rock and she and Gravvy move it, almost dying but the baby Tentacool allowed her to breathe underwater out of gratitude. She then finds out that the only stone still there was the Leaf Stone and that Red must have taken them to evolve [[Vui]] (Blue previously made her memorize all of Red's entries so that was how she learned of Eevee).

It is later revealed that it was in fact {{adv|Green}} who sent Yellow on this quest and disguised her as a boy, also bugging her hat so she could track her location and hear her talking.

When Yellow is trying to find a Pokémon that can Surf she hears of a Vermilion Surfing Contest with the prize being a {{p|Dragonair}} that could Surf for her. She borrows a Slowpoke from a swimmer but before the event starts, the Dragonair is revealed to belong to Lance and with one blast, he destroys Vermilion City, although since Vermilion Surfing Contest is such a big event he knew there would be few fatalities. After finding out that Yellow's Pikachu was Pika he attempts to take it simply to calm Agatha and Lorelei who were angry that it eluded both of them. After being tossed around Pikachu learned Surf by manipulating its {{m|Substitute}} and then Lance disappeared.

After sleeping in a forest of Exeggutor and Oddish she found that they were abnormally migrating from Professor Oak due to the attacks of the Elite Four destroying habitats and throwing the balance of nature out of balance. When she came back to Cinnabar Island she saw a man training his Arcanine and an unknown Pokémon (later revealed to be {{p|Mewtwo}}). The man then takes Yellow back to his Gym and reveals himself to be Blaine wearing a disguise. The two of them then learn that Brock had found something on [[Mt. Moon]], an ice sculpture of Red frozen in ice. After learning from Blaine that the Elite Four HQ was at [[Cerise Island]] and that the respective cities of the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto were under attack the two of them decided to attack Cerise Island but travel there via different routes. Once she reaches Cerise Island she meets up with Blue and they stealthily navigate the island by having Jigglypuff fly them across shrouded in Horsea's Smokescreen. Once the map Yellow obtained was eaten by a Slowbro they followed it to a cave and found Blaine, Blue, Koga, Sabrina, and Lt. Surge.

[[‎Image:YellowBlaineSpoons.png|left|thumb|Yellow and [[Blaine]] with their [[Spoons of Destiny]]]]
In the final battle on [[Cerise Island]], [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]] choose [[Blaine]] as Yellow's partner. The two of them intrude on Bruno's battle with Lt. Surge and Bill, but they are blocked out by a barrier. When Electrode's Explosion goes off it sends up a tsunami that drenches Blaine and Yellow, washing off her hat and revealing her ponytail, revealing to all that she was actually a girl. The two of them find themselves facing [[Lance]] in a fierce and long battle. In the beginning Blaine had Yellow stay back and he battle Lance with Mewtwo single handedly and almost defeated him until their emotional connection made them pass out. Although Blaine was aware that this may happen he decided to let Yellow finish off Lance's weakened Pokémon while Blaine went for Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call upon any other Pokémon. Although the Poké Balls were destroyed Lance revealed that he had already sent his Pokémon out of their Poké Balls before the battle even started. Lance then revealed that he was also a blessed Viridian Trainer like Yellow and had the same powers that she had. After dragging the battle to the top of Cerise Island which was a volcanic crater Lance was able to gain an advantage with bubbles that were invisible to light by coloring them red, blue, and green. Giovanni then comes to Yellow's assistance but that forces the final badge that Lance needed to power his Badge Energy Amplifier, which he had enlarged to become Cerise Island. He used the Amplifier to summon {{p|Lugia}}, controlling it so it would help him wipe out humanity. Without a Pokédex to stop her team from evolving, she let her team completely evolve (including Kitty who evolved twice in a row, and Gravvy, who most often doesn't evolve except by trade). With all of her team's newfound power Yellow was able to channel all of their energy and have Pika use an attack known as Megavolt, an attack 10x more powerful then a regular thunderbolt, defeating Lance and scaring Lugia away.

After it all ends, she returns [[Pika]] to {{adv|Red}}, who is left the only main character unaware of Yellow's real gender.

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:YellowGSC.png|right|thumb|100px|Yellow in the third chapter]]
Yellow has become a normal citizen of [[Viridian City]] once more until her Uncle [[Wilton]] calls for her and suggests that she head to [[Johto]] to search for information about the mysterious being that appeared atop [[Cerise Island]] the year before. Yellow decides to go and heads out along with her new {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Chuchu]], and [[Pika]], whom she borrowed by Red when he left for [[Mt. Silver]].

She arrived in [[Ecruteak City]] just after a major earthquake. While she was there, she ventured into the [[Burned Tower]], which accidentally released the Sacred Beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Entei}} which were sealed in time. This was because the Rainbow Feather and the Silver Feather were in her hat after she received them from {{adv|Green}}. After this she went to [[Olivine City]], where she met {{adv|Crystal}}. The two then teamed up and headed to the [[Whirl Islands]]. There, they fought against {{p|Lugia}}, which Yellow identified as the mysterious beast from before. Afterward, she was washed away.

Later on, she awoke in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}, where she protected the [[Day Care couple]] from [[Team Rocket]]. After this, she went to the [[Ilex Forest]], where she fought, along with the other Pokédex Holders, against the [[Mask of Ice]]. When [[Pryce]] escaped into the voids of time, Yellow gave up her hat and the feathers with it to allow {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}} and Crystal follow him. When Gold's {{p|Pichu}} came out of the void, she decided to name the then unknown species Pichu because it was the child of '''Pi'''ka and '''Chu'''chu.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[‎Image:YellowFRLG.png|left|thumb|Yellow in the fifth chapter]]
While the other [[Pokédex Holder|Pokédex Holders]] of [[Kanto]] were fighting against [[Deoxys (Pokémon)|Deoxys]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], Yellow was living an ordinary life. One day, she went to the gym in [[Viridian City]], where she hoped that she would see {{adv|Blue}}. He was, however, not there but had a hologram of himself instead. It asked her for a battle, which [[Chuchu]] wanted to do but the two lost horribly to Blue's well trained Pokémon.

After leaving the gym, Yellow bumped into {{adv|Silver}}, who she remembered from the battle against the [[Mask of Ice]] two years before. He revealed to her that he came to Viridian in order to try to find his parents, who he hadn't seen since he was a child. Yellow offered to help by seeing into [[Sneasel (Pokémon)|Sneasel]]'s memories but was turned down because Silver had tried before with [[Lance]]'s powers. However, she did read Sneasel's mind and detected a faint, recently unlocked memory of the statue that resided inside the gym. The two Pokédex Holders raced in and looked at it.

Silver then demanded Yellow to tell her who the statue was of and she explained that the statue was of [[Giovanni]], the previous gym leader of Viridian City and the true leader of [[Team Rocket]]. They left the gym and Silver told her that he was going to find Giovanni and find out how they were related, which Yellow pleaded him not to do, reminding him that he was dangerous.

An airship appeared over them that had the symbol of Team Rocket on it. An aircar was then released from it. After Silver used his Gyarados against it, two people came out, stating that they were there to take Silver away. The two introduced themselves as [[Sird]] and [[Orm]], then challenged Yellow and Silver to a tag battle, which Silver accepted for the two.

Yellow was attacked by Orm's [[Jumpluff (Pokémon)| Jumpluff]] and appeared to be near defeat as the grass types spores float around the battlefield until she used her powers to move Poké Balls to send her {{p|Omastar|Omny}} outside the range of the spores and had it attack Sird, Orm and Jumpluff, who was frozen by Omny's {{m|Blizzard}}.

After Orm used his Black Pokédex, which was made by the third Elite Rocket [[Carr]], to scan the [[level]]s of Yellow's [[party]] and called Yellow's Pokémon weak, Yellow lashed out, telling them to leave the [[Viridian Forest]] as it had been the stage of far too many battles already. It was then that all of Yellow's Pokémon's levels skyrocketed into the 80's.

After this level increase, the four battlers on the ground noticed that the Team Rocket Airship had turned into the Stadium Mode. While they were watching the events above them unfold, Sird told Silver that his father was Giovanni, which shocked the two Pokédex Holders. Sird took advantage of Silver's state of disbelief by putting the boy to sleep and taking him up to the airship with her and Orm, leaving Yellow to follow them.

While flying with the use of [[Kitty]], Yellow used [[Ratty]] to make a hole on the side of the Airship so that they could get in. She then infiltrated the place, her mind set on finding Silver. However, she gets lost and finds her way out on to the Mid Air Battle Stadium that {{adv|Red}} and [[Mewtwo (Pokémon)|Mewtwo]] are fighting against Giovanni and Deoxys on. Surprised to see Red, she nervously calls out to him, who is equally as shocked to see her as she is to see him. He then asks her why she is there. She starts to explain but soon turns to Deoxys, wondering if the DNA Pokémon is the one who just is spoke to her in her mind.

Yellow then realizes that Deoxys is trying to tell her something and it hasn't got much time left. After learning the Pokémon's name, she concentrates on it and is shocked by what she hears. She then turns and tells Red that Deoxys told her that it is him.

After learning of Deoxys's past from Sird, Yellow is shocked and demands to know where the first Deoxys, Individual 1, is. Sird tells her that it had been abandoned and Yellow feels sorry for the weak Deoxys that is in her arms. She then realizes that Sird had yet to tell them why Individual 2 thinks he's Red.

Sird tells Yellow to concentrate on Deoxys's background story as she reads its mind. However, as Sird explains, now that they have Giovanni's son Deoxys is useless.

Suddenly, the Airship starts shaking and they all realize that the ship is about to explode. As the stadium closes in, Yellow, Red, Mewtwo and Deoxys make it into the Airship and Red tells them that they need to stop the ship from exploding. He then takes Deoxys, but Yellow isn't sure if it's a good idea to take the weakened Pokémon but Red reassures her. Yellow then starts to doze off and Red realizes that she has used to much energy by reading Deoxys's mind.

Red then sends Giovanni, Silver, Yellow and Mewtwo to the ground thanks to the black hole that Deoxys was able to make. Yellow, worried about Red, protests but he walks away. However, Yellow grabs a hold of Red's finger with her fishing rod and tells him not to go because she has to continue to explain about Individual 2. Meanwhile, Chuchu spots her partner [[Pika]] and leaves its Poké Ball. Yellow doesn't notice and continues, explaining that Giovanni had collected Red's blood five years previously and had used it to create Deoxys, making the DNA Pokémon consider Red its ancestor. Now finished telling Red everything, she falls through the black hole, leaving her hat at the spot where she just stood.

She comes out of the black hole, unconscious due to the energy loss that she had suffered. She stayed in that state, even during the final battle, for the rest of the chapter. She received a Pokédex from Red, and was soon turned to stone afterward.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
Two months after the final battle, [[Mr. Briney]] shipped Yellow and the other four petrified Pokédex Holders, via the [[S.S. Tidal]], to the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]]. The five were placed on the top floor of the Battle Tower disguised as actual statues. Due to a report [[Kimberly]] had snatched from Team Rocket, Prof. Oak learned that the wish granting powers of the mirage Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} were the only way to revive the Dex Holders. {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} were sent to the Battle Frontier at different times in order to capture Jirachi and protect it from [[Guile Hideout]], who was also after the wishing Pokémon. When Emerald finally came to terms with his own feelings about Pokémon, he was able to reverse the petrifaction of his five seniors.

Yellow then joined the epic battle against Guile Hideout's Sea Beast that had taken the form of {{p|Kyogre}}.She was a part of the final blow to the beast by having her [[Chuchu]] use the ultimate electric attack, [[Volt Tackle (move)|Volt Tackle]].

After the crisis was over, Yellow entered a tournament between the Pokédex Holders, which she, at some point, lost.

==Abilities==
Being born with special abilities, Yellow has demonstrated several as of the Fifth chapter. Her abilities demonstrated include:
*Limited telekinesis, enough to manipulate a Poké Ball on a string.
*The ability to read the minds, emotions, and memories of Pokémon.
*Healing abilities, thus far only used on Pokémon.
*Able to "synchronize spirits" with her Pokémon to boost their levels into the mid 80s in times of need.

==Trivia==
*Yellow and {{adv|Emerald}} are the only main Pokémon Adventures characters not [[cross-canon counterparts|directly based]] on game characters.
*Most of Yellow's Pokémon have received a drawback in level, since in the second chapter, all her Pokémon were around level forty, while at the end of the GSC saga, their levels are as above.
*Yellow's blood type is A.

'''Yellow''' (Japanese: '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''), or '''{{tt|Amarillo del Bosque Verde|Yellow of the Viridian Forest}}''' (Japanese: '''イエロー・デ・トキワグローブ''' ''Yellow de Tokiwa Grove'') is the fourth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. She first appeared in [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|volume three]], when she was saved by {{adv|Red}} from a rampaging wild {{p|Dratini}}.

When Red goes missing, {{adv|Green}} sends Yellow out to find him, and has her disguise herself as a boy. Most of the characters did not learn her real gender until the end of the G/S/C saga: Yellow's straw hat hides her ponytail as well as containing the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}}.

Yellow's first Pokémon is a {{p|Rattata}} that Red helped her catch. Her starter Pokémon is [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] which travels with her when she searches for Red. She later obtained her own Pikachu, Chuchu, which made a {{p|Pichu}} egg with Red's Pikachu at the Johto [[Pokémon daycare]].

Yellow is quite naive, and acts very much like a little child. She hates it when Pokémon are injured, hers or her opponent's, and has developed a style of battle in which neither her nor her opponent's Pokémon are hurt unless it is absolutely necessary.

Yellow's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon healing and is called the '''"Healer'''" (癒やす者 ''Healer''). She received psychic abilities from the [[Viridian Forest]], which include the ability to read the emotions of Pokémon and heal their wounds. Yellow is physically small compared to the rest of the characters.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[‎Image:YellowRGBChapter.png|right|thumb|100px|Yellow in the first chapter]]
Yellow makes her first, unnamed appearance in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini]]'', towards the end of the first chapter, when {{adv|Red}} saves her from a rampaging {{p|Dratini}}. Red then helps Yellow catch her first Pokémon, [[Ratty|a Rattata]], and leaves a strong impression on her with his words about raising Pokémon with a kind and gentle heart and his actions to save [[Viridian Forest]] from the menace of [[Team Rocket]].
Yellow makes a later appearance after {{adv|Red}}'s battle with [[Giovanni]], after he falls unconscious. Yellow had found Red at the edge of the forest, and healed Red to good health.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
[[‎Image:YellowSecondchapter.png|left|thumb|Yellow in the second chapter]]
Two years later, when {{adv|Red}} mysteriously goes missing after receiving a battle invitation from [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]], Yellow just as mysteriously shows up in [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]], disguised as a boy. She takes Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], and promises to find Red. Oak doesn't trust her and he makes her battle his {{p|Spearow}} with her Doduo. She defeats him and doesn't even injure either Pokémon, allowing her to gain Oak's trust. She is then fishing in the [[Viridian Forest]] when Pika wanders off and sees Bill drowning. Pika runs back to Yellow and she reads his mind and rescues Bill from a {{p|Seadra}} which she catches and releases after healing it.

Bill then stays with her for a while, and the two of them run into [[Lorelei]] of the Elite Four, who explains everything to them, which Yellow seemed to already know. They escaped her and her {{p|Dewgong}}, but she later found them in a cave and attacked them with her {{p|Cloyster}}. She was attempting to bury them alive in that cave by combining Dewgong's and Cloyster's attacks to form an Ice Spike Cannon. Yellow then had Pika act as a decoy for a bit by throwing his Poké Ball out through a small crack and then got him back in. She read his mind and got out of the cave by using a the same tactic except with a fake Poké Ball as a decoy. They are chased by Lorelei and when they jump into a lake she freezes it over, and starts to ask questions about Yellow's ability. While she was asking these questions, [[Ratty]] was biting through the iceberg and they were freed and before Lorelei could once again call out her Pokémon to stop them, {{adv|Green}} appeared and knocked her Poké Ball away. Lorelei then contacted [[Agatha]] and told her about Yellow's ability, proclaiming her to become a potential threat and that she is now a target of the Elite Four as well.

She then is found by Erika who hears about her from Misty and wants to put [[Pika]] under her care. After hearing about a Red look-a-like Pika rushes off. The look-a-like turns out to be a [[Super Nerd]] who was hired by [[Agatha]] to kidnap Pika. After chasing him for a while the super nerd uses his {{p|Persian}} to Scratch on the walls to hurt Yellows ears and make her lose her focus, than he uses his {{p|Marowak}}'s Bonemerang laced with spores from his {{p|Paras}} in order to incapacitate her Pokémon. She later recalled her Pokémon and healed them, taking a Bonemerang to the ribs because of hit. She then had her Pokémon execute a plan that she thought of before she was knocked out. She had Dody and Ratty dig up pieces of metal and had Pika zap them, and since the Super Nerd was in an electric proof suit, they hit him. Before the good Gym Leaders of Kanto can fully examine him a Gastly appears and tries to whisk him away. When Blaine tries to have his Growlithe use Fire Blast to take it out it almost hits a Caterpie which Yellow manages to save. {{adv|Blue}} appears and defeats Gastly, telling the Gym Leaders that that it belonged to [[Agatha]] of the Elite Four. Yellow then asks to train with him, which he allows, but before she leaves, Misty gives her Omny and Brock gives her Gravvy.

When training with Blue she then found out that the Caterpie she had saved followed her all of the way to their training area. After Blue tells her to catch that Caterpie it becomes clear that Yellow doesn't actually know the basics of Pokémon. She didn't know what Ratty's attacks were, she didn't know what Evolution was and cried when Ratty evolved, and all of the Pokémon she owned she obtained other than through battle. She then decided to have her new Caterpie which she named [[Kitty]] get to know Pika while she got Vermilion Flowers, which are supposed to be a Caterpie's favorite food, only to find that the two of them were asleep after Pika saved it from death multiple times (from a cliff, several cacti, and three {{p|Pidgeotto}}). After training Dody and Ratty for about a week she then attempts to train the Pokémon she gained from the Gym Leaders but without their respective leaders they were confused and refused to listen to Yellow. A pack of Mankey then appeared because they were hungry and planned on eating Yellow and Blue and Blue instructed Yellow to defeat the Primeape leader while he took out the front lines. When it became clear that she couldn't he used his Porygon to defeat it and the pack ran away. Yellow then healed the Primeape and told Blue that she would continue to train on her own.

Since she didn't have a Pokémon that could Surf Blue told her to take the SS Anne where she ran into the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]]. They exploded the SS Anne using a Slowpoke and Yellow takes them on wanting to see how much Blue's training has payed off. When all of the passengers fall off the boat as a result of the bomb she has Caterpie use String Shot to make buoys to ensure the passenger's safety. She then defeats the Rockets quite easily with the small help of the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman. The Chairman then learns of Red's kidnapping.

She then learns of the legendary evolutionary stones that evolve Pokémon but do not disappear after use. She tries to get it only to be swarmed by a group of Tentacool. She then finds out the reason was that a baby Tentacool was stuck under a rock and she and Gravvy move it, almost dying but the baby Tentacool allowed her to breathe underwater out of gratitude. She then finds out that the only stone still there was the Leaf Stone and that Red must have taken them to evolve [[Vui]] (Blue previously made her memorize all of Red's entries so that was how she learned of Eevee).

It is later revealed that it was in fact {{adv|Green}} who sent Yellow on this quest and disguised her as a boy, also bugging her hat so she could track her location and hear her talking.

When Yellow is trying to find a Pokémon that can Surf she hears of a Vermilion Surfing Contest with the prize being a {{p|Dragonair}} that could Surf for her. She borrows a Slowpoke from a swimmer but before the event starts, the Dragonair is revealed to belong to Lance and with one blast, he destroys Vermilion City, although since Vermilion Surfing Contest is such a big event he knew there would be few fatalities. After finding out that Yellow's Pikachu was Pika he attempts to take it simply to calm Agatha and Lorelei who were angry that it eluded both of them. After being tossed around Pikachu learned Surf by manipulating its {{m|Substitute}} and then Lance disappeared.

After sleeping in a forest of Exeggutor and Oddish she found that they were abnormally migrating from Professor Oak due to the attacks of the Elite Four destroying habitats and throwing the balance of nature out of balance. When she came back to Cinnabar Island she saw a man training his Arcanine and an unknown Pokémon (later revealed to be {{p|Mewtwo}}). The man then takes Yellow back to his Gym and reveals himself to be Blaine wearing a disguise. The two of them then learn that Brock had found something on [[Mt. Moon]], an ice sculpture of Red frozen in ice. After learning from Blaine that the Elite Four HQ was at [[Cerise Island]] and that the respective cities of the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto were under attack the two of them decided to attack Cerise Island but travel there via different routes. Once she reaches Cerise Island she meets up with Blue and they stealthily navigate the island by having Jigglypuff fly them across shrouded in Horsea's Smokescreen. Once the map Yellow obtained was eaten by a Slowbro they followed it to a cave and found Blaine, Blue, Koga, Sabrina, and Lt. Surge.

[[‎Image:YellowBlaineSpoons.png|left|thumb|Yellow and [[Blaine]] with their [[Spoons of Destiny]]]]
In the final battle on [[Cerise Island]], [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]] choose [[Blaine]] as Yellow's partner. The two of them intrude on Bruno's battle with Lt. Surge and Bill, but they are blocked out by a barrier. When Electrode's Explosion goes off it sends up a tsunami that drenches Blaine and Yellow, washing off her hat and revealing her ponytail, revealing to all that she was actually a girl. The two of them find themselves facing [[Lance]] in a fierce and long battle. In the beginning Blaine had Yellow stay back and he battle Lance with Mewtwo single handedly and almost defeated him until their emotional connection made them pass out. Although Blaine was aware that this may happen he decided to let Yellow finish off Lance's weakened Pokémon while Blaine went for Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call upon any other Pokémon. Although the Poké Balls were destroyed Lance revealed that he had already sent his Pokémon out of their Poké Balls before the battle even started. Lance then revealed that he was also a blessed Viridian Trainer like Yellow and had the same powers that she had. After dragging the battle to the top of Cerise Island which was a volcanic crater Lance was able to gain an advantage with bubbles that were invisible to light by coloring them red, blue, and green. Giovanni then comes to Yellow's assistance but that forces the final badge that Lance needed to power his Badge Energy Amplifier, which he had enlarged to become Cerise Island. He used the Amplifier to summon {{p|Lugia}}, controlling it so it would help him wipe out humanity. Without a Pokédex to stop her team from evolving, she let her team completely evolve (including Kitty who evolved twice in a row, and Gravvy, who most often doesn't evolve except by trade). With all of her team's newfound power Yellow was able to channel all of their energy and have Pika use an attack known as Megavolt, an attack 10x more powerful then a regular thunderbolt, defeating Lance and scaring Lugia away.

After it all ends, she returns [[Pika]] to {{adv|Red}}, who is left the only main character unaware of Yellow's real gender.

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:YellowGSC.png|right|thumb|100px|Yellow in the third chapter]]
Yellow has become a normal citizen of [[Viridian City]] once more until her Uncle [[Wilton]] calls for her and suggests that she head to [[Johto]] to search for information about the mysterious being that appeared atop [[Cerise Island]] the year before. Yellow decides to go and heads out along with her new {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Chuchu]], and [[Pika]], whom she borrowed by Red when he left for [[Mt. Silver]].

She arrived in [[Ecruteak City]] just after a major earthquake. While she was there, she ventured into the [[Burned Tower]], which accidentally released the Sacred Beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Entei}} which were sealed in time. This was because the Rainbow Feather and the Silver Feather were in her hat after she received them from {{adv|Green}}. After this she went to [[Olivine City]], where she met {{adv|Crystal}}. The two then teamed up and headed to the [[Whirl Islands]]. There, they fought against {{p|Lugia}}, which Yellow identified as the mysterious beast from before. Afterward, she was washed away.

Later on, she awoke in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}, where she protected the [[Day Care couple]] from [[Team Rocket]]. After this, she went to the [[Ilex Forest]], where she fought, along with the other Pokédex Holders, against the [[Mask of Ice]]. When [[Pryce]] escaped into the voids of time, Yellow gave up her hat and the feathers with it to allow {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}} and Crystal follow him. When Gold's {{p|Pichu}} came out of the void, she decided to name the then unknown species Pichu because it was the child of '''Pi'''ka and '''Chu'''chu.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[‎Image:YellowFRLG.png|left|thumb|Yellow in the fifth chapter]]
While the other [[Pokédex Holder|Pokédex Holders]] of [[Kanto]] were fighting against [[Deoxys (Pokémon)|Deoxys]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], Yellow was living an ordinary life. One day, she went to the gym in [[Viridian City]], where she hoped that she would see {{adv|Blue}}. He was, however, not there but had a hologram of himself instead. It asked her for a battle, which [[Chuchu]] wanted to do but the two lost horribly to Blue's well trained Pokémon.

After leaving the gym, Yellow bumped into {{adv|Silver}}, who she remembered from the battle against the [[Mask of Ice]] two years before. He revealed to her that he came to Viridian in order to try to find his parents, who he hadn't seen since he was a child. Yellow offered to help by seeing into [[Sneasel (Pokémon)|Sneasel]]'s memories but was turned down because Silver had tried before with [[Lance]]'s powers. However, she did read Sneasel's mind and detected a faint, recently unlocked memory of the statue that resided inside the gym. The two Pokédex Holders raced in and looked at it.

Silver then demanded Yellow to tell her who the statue was of and she explained that the statue was of [[Giovanni]], the previous gym leader of Viridian City and the true leader of [[Team Rocket]]. They left the gym and Silver told her that he was going to find Giovanni and find out how they were related, which Yellow pleaded him not to do, reminding him that he was dangerous.

An airship appeared over them that had the symbol of Team Rocket on it. An aircar was then released from it. After Silver used his Gyarados against it, two people came out, stating that they were there to take Silver away. The two introduced themselves as [[Sird]] and [[Orm]], then challenged Yellow and Silver to a tag battle, which Silver accepted for the two.

Yellow was attacked by Orm's [[Jumpluff (Pokémon)| Jumpluff]] and appeared to be near defeat as the grass types spores float around the battlefield until she used her powers to move Poké Balls to send her {{p|Omastar|Omny}} outside the range of the spores and had it attack Sird, Orm and Jumpluff, who was frozen by Omny's {{m|Blizzard}}.

After Orm used his Black Pokédex, which was made by the third Elite Rocket [[Carr]], to scan the [[level]]s of Yellow's [[party]] and called Yellow's Pokémon weak, Yellow lashed out, telling them to leave the [[Viridian Forest]] as it had been the stage of far too many battles already. It was then that all of Yellow's Pokémon's levels skyrocketed into the 80's.

After this level increase, the four battlers on the ground noticed that the Team Rocket Airship had turned into the Stadium Mode. While they were watching the events above them unfold, Sird told Silver that his father was Giovanni, which shocked the two Pokédex Holders. Sird took advantage of Silver's state of disbelief by putting the boy to sleep and taking him up to the airship with her and Orm, leaving Yellow to follow them.

While flying with the use of [[Kitty]], Yellow used [[Ratty]] to make a hole on the side of the Airship so that they could get in. She then infiltrated the place, her mind set on finding Silver. However, she gets lost and finds her way out on to the Mid Air Battle Stadium that {{adv|Red}} and [[Mewtwo (Pokémon)|Mewtwo]] are fighting against Giovanni and Deoxys on. Surprised to see Red, she nervously calls out to him, who is equally as shocked to see her as she is to see him. He then asks her why she is there. She starts to explain but soon turns to Deoxys, wondering if the DNA Pokémon is the one who just is spoke to her in her mind.

Yellow then realizes that Deoxys is trying to tell her something and it hasn't got much time left. After learning the Pokémon's name, she concentrates on it and is shocked by what she hears. She then turns and tells Red that Deoxys told her that it is him.

After learning of Deoxys's past from Sird, Yellow is shocked and demands to know where the first Deoxys, Individual 1, is. Sird tells her that it had been abandoned and Yellow feels sorry for the weak Deoxys that is in her arms. She then realizes that Sird had yet to tell them why Individual 2 thinks he's Red.

Sird tells Yellow to concentrate on Deoxys's background story as she reads its mind. However, as Sird explains, now that they have Giovanni's son Deoxys is useless.

Suddenly, the Airship starts shaking and they all realize that the ship is about to explode. As the stadium closes in, Yellow, Red, Mewtwo and Deoxys make it into the Airship and Red tells them that they need to stop the ship from exploding. He then takes Deoxys, but Yellow isn't sure if it's a good idea to take the weakened Pokémon but Red reassures her. Yellow then starts to doze off and Red realizes that she has used to much energy by reading Deoxys's mind.

Red then sends Giovanni, Silver, Yellow and Mewtwo to the ground thanks to the black hole that Deoxys was able to make. Yellow, worried about Red, protests but he walks away. However, Yellow grabs a hold of Red's finger with her fishing rod and tells him not to go because she has to continue to explain about Individual 2. Meanwhile, Chuchu spots her partner [[Pika]] and leaves its Poké Ball. Yellow doesn't notice and continues, explaining that Giovanni had collected Red's blood five years previously and had used it to create Deoxys, making the DNA Pokémon consider Red its ancestor. Now finished telling Red everything, she falls through the black hole, leaving her hat at the spot where she just stood.

She comes out of the black hole, unconscious due to the energy loss that she had suffered. She stayed in that state, even during the final battle, for the rest of the chapter. She received a Pokédex from Red, and was soon turned to stone afterward.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
Two months after the final battle, [[Mr. Briney]] shipped Yellow and the other four petrified Pokédex Holders, via the [[S.S. Tidal]], to the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]]. The five were placed on the top floor of the Battle Tower disguised as actual statues. Due to a report [[Kimberly]] had snatched from Team Rocket, Prof. Oak learned that the wish granting powers of the mirage Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} were the only way to revive the Dex Holders. {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} were sent to the Battle Frontier at different times in order to capture Jirachi and protect it from [[Guile Hideout]], who was also after the wishing Pokémon. When Emerald finally came to terms with his own feelings about Pokémon, he was able to reverse the petrifaction of his five seniors.

Yellow then joined the epic battle against Guile Hideout's Sea Beast that had taken the form of {{p|Kyogre}}.She was a part of the final blow to the beast by having her [[Chuchu]] use the ultimate electric attack, [[Volt Tackle (move)|Volt Tackle]].

After the crisis was over, Yellow entered a tournament between the Pokédex Holders, which she, at some point, lost.

==Abilities==
Being born with special abilities, Yellow has demonstrated several as of the Fifth chapter. Her abilities demonstrated include:
*Limited telekinesis, enough to manipulate a Poké Ball on a string.
*The ability to read the minds, emotions, and memories of Pokémon.
*Healing abilities, thus far only used on Pokémon.
*Able to "synchronize spirits" with her Pokémon to boost their levels into the mid 80s in times of need.

==Trivia==
*Yellow and {{adv|Emerald}} are the only main Pokémon Adventures characters not [[cross-canon counterparts|directly based]] on game characters.
*Most of Yellow's Pokémon have received a drawback in level, since in the second chapter, all her Pokémon were around level forty, while at the end of the GSC saga, their levels are as above.
*Yellow's blood type is A.

'''Emerald''' (Japanese: '''エメラルド''' ''Emerald'') is the tenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His origin is unknown, although {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

==Personality==
Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} and Todd while he is sleeping.

Emerald doesn't like Pokémon themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{adv|Crystal}}.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Sceptile}} got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with [[Berry|berries]] in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's [[Pokédex]] indicated that it evolved from [[Wally]]'s {{p|Grovyle}}. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

==Character history==
===Past===
As revealed at the end of the {{chap|Emerald}}, Emerald was one of the orphans that {{adv|Crystal}} was helping. He looked up to her and wanted a [[Pokédex]] of his own. [[Professor Oak]] did want to offer one to him at one point but he had declined due to his animosity towards Pokémon while in the Pokémon Academy. He spent his time roaming around Hoenn and met the [[Trick Master]], who gave him the gadgets that were inspired by a [[Fiore|faraway land]]. He also had a green gem that was used as a test to call out {{p|Rayquaza}}, but Emerald found the gem and it got attached to his forehead.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
He first appeared in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, having been brought there by {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. There he met [[Todd Snap|Todd]]. After he bound and gagged {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} and stole his {{p|Salamence}}, Emerald was about to be banned from the Frontier, until it was revealed that Emerald was attracting media attention. Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the [[Frontier Brain]]s and [[Scott]] eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the seven Brains within seven days.

Later on, Emerald's reason for visiting the Frontier is revealed: he was assigned by [[Professor Oak]] and Crystal to capture {{p|Jirachi}}. He attempted it the first time after his fight with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}} and was almost successful. However, after that, he went back to his original challenge.

Emerald arrived just seconds after [[Professor Birch]] lost Treecko's Poké Ball in the waves. Treecko was eventually found by [[Wally]], and helped him to climb the [[Sky Pillar]] to awaken {{p|Rayquaza}}. While climbing, it evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}. When they reached the top, Rayquaza's power sent Grovyle flying out of the pillar, and it was lost again. After that, he became a rental Pokémon in the {{ho|Battle Factory}} (later revealed to have been smuggled there by [[Guile Hideout]] to drive the nosy reporters out). He went berserk after being stung by a {{m|Poison Sting}} and Emerald calmed it down, then he used it in the battle against {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}. After defeating Noland, Emerald took it upon realizing that it was no rental Pokémon (all Pokémon in the 50 course were of level 50 only, and Sceptile was 51). It was later proven that this Sceptile was the same lost Treecko when {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} went to the Battle Frontier and their starters, [[Zuzu]] and [[Toro]], recognized Sceptile.}}

==Trivia==
* Emerald is the only character named after a [[Version|third version]] in Pokémon Adventures that is male, as {{adv|Green}}{{tt|*|In Japan, Green is Blue, and the Blue Version was the ''third version'' of Generation I in Japan.}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} are all female.
* Emerald and Yellow are the only main characters of Pokémon Adventures not directly [[cross-canon counterparts|based on]] game characters.
** Emerald's conception on the other hand is probably, much like [[Enta (manga)|Enta]]'s, based on the [[apprentice]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)|Battle Tower]] in [[Pokémon Emerald]].
* {{p|Sudowoodo|Four}} {{p|Snorlax|Pokémon}} {{p|Mantine|owned}} {{p|Mr. Mime|by}} Emerald are also owned by [[Gold (Adventures)|other]] [[Red (Adventures)|Trainers]] [[Crystal (Adventures)|in]] Pokémon Adventures; notably, they also all received pre-evolutions in [[Generation IV]].
** All of the Pokémon listed also meet their counterparts at the end of the Emerald Arc. They all become acquainted and are seen lounging with each other.
** It should also be noted that {{adv|Gold}}'s {{p|Sudowoodo}} is a male, while Emerald's is a female. The only other time that two main characters of Pokémon Adventures had two [[Pika|Pokémon of the same]] [[Chuchu|species and opposite genders]] an egg was produced by the two.
* The [[Trick Master]] says his Soil Gun was based on a device he saw in a faraway land, which might refer to a [[Capture Styler]] that calms a Pokémon with circles.
* Emerald's birthday is May 31, and emerald is the birthstone for those born in May.
* Emerald is the only Pokémon Adventures character whose first Pokémon was actually one of the starter Pokémon from the game series - or rather its evolution, Sceptile.
** Emerald is also the only main character to lose his first Pokémon before actually obtaining it.
* Emerald and {{adv|Green}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}, they are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}. The only other two are {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Ruby}} who are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancers}}.
*Emerald and {{adv|Red}} are the only Dexholders with no revealed family members (although Emerald has once mentioned his deceased parents).

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the fifth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he "borrowed" from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the "Poké House". He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.

He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous. Gold's mother has described him as "careless".

Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''"Breeder'''" (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:Gold Adventures.png|left|thumb|250px|Gold during the third chapter]]
During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). On his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Exbo]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.

Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City, he realizes that [[Polibo]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Exbo heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.

He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help, he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the Ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a male. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Exbo use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it turns out it took Gold's Polibo. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Totaro's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.

Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one: if he lost, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's granddaughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. This was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier than him. He found a Teddiursa and tried to catch it to no avail. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Aibo ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his billiard cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetch'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle, Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Polibo's Water Gun made it react more than Exbo's {{m|Ember}} attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Aibo's Poké Ball disguised as a cue ball, his egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Exbo evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care couple then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Polibo evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.
[[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's {{m|Aeroblast}} attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Poké Ball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful {{m|Mega Drain}}, but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into {{p|Pichu}}, which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[Image:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|100px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]
During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the fifth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he "borrowed" from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the "Poké House". He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.

He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous. Gold's mother has described him as "careless".

Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''"Breeder'''" (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[‎Image:Gold Adventures.png|left|thumb|250px|Gold during the third chapter]]
During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). On his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Exbo]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.

Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City, he realizes that [[Polibo]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Exbo heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.

He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help, he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the Ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a male. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Exbo use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it turns out it took Gold's Polibo. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Totaro's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.

Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one: if he lost, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's granddaughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. This was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier than him. He found a Teddiursa and tried to catch it to no avail. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Aibo ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his billiard cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.

Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetch'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.

Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle, Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Polibo's Water Gun made it react more than Exbo's {{m|Ember}} attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.

While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Aibo's Poké Ball disguised as a cue ball, his egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.

Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Exbo evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care couple then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Polibo evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.

After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.

Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.
[[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.

It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Feraligatr|Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's {{m|Aeroblast}} attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Poké Ball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful {{m|Mega Drain}}, but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.

Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into {{p|Pichu}}, which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[Image:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|100px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]
During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].

When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.

Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.

With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).

When supported with the Remoraid, Mantaro can glide across the air, allowing Gold to travel aerially. It debuted in ''[[PS147|Lugia (Part II)]]'' and has a Calm nature.

Although Mantine cannot learn {{m|Fly}} in the video game series, Mantaro is able to use the move with the help of Remoraid.}}

==Trivia==
* Gold was the only character introduced without a major goal that he desires to achieve, although {{adv|Green}} now falls into this category now that she has found her parents.
* Gold's {{wp|blood type}} is B.
* Almost all [[Pokémon]] that Gold owned had their name ending in -taro in Japanese and [[Chuang Yi]]'s Singaporean English translations, which is a common ending for boys names in Japan.
* Gold and {{adv|Ruby}} are two of four Pokédex holders that share the same {{wp|astrological sign}}, they are both {{wp|Cancer (astrology)|Cancer}}. The only other two are {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Emerald}} who are both {{wp|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}.
