Miror B.

2008-02-04T18:44:01Z

Goddra2:

[[Image:CIPHERMIRORB.JPG|frame|A picture of Miror B. from an adaptation of Pokémon Colosseum.]]
'''Miror B.''' (Japanese: ''' ミラーボ''' ''Mirābo'') is one of the four [[Cipher]] Admins in [[Pokémon Colosseum]]. A man with a gigantic multicolored afro (which resembles a [[Poke Ball]] turned on its side), garish glasses, and dressed in a golden sequin-studded leisure suit - he's hard to miss.

Miror B. is loud and flamboyant. He spoils his {{p|Ludicolo}}, and would rather spend time teaching them how to dance than to do his duty as a Cipher admin. He is the only one of the Cipher admins to not receive a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. But on the plus side, he's got snappy theme music that plays wherever he goes - latin music in the first game, and disco music in the next. He basically let his grunts do whatever they wanted in [[Pyrite Town]] as long as they left him alone so he could practice his dancing.

His name is probably derived from ''{{wp|disco|mirror ball}}''.

=In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]=
Miror B. first made his appearance in [[Phenac City]] "terrorizing" the mayor, [[Es Cade]]. He sent some of his minions to attack [[Wes]] and [[Rui]] and announced that Cipher was behind the strange crime wave that had hit [[Orre]].

Later, Miror B. was found again in [[Pyrite Town]]. He kidnapped a {{p|Plusle}} belonging to the town's hero, [[Duking]], and held the little Pokémon hostage. With Duking unable to do anything, Miror B. ran the [[Pyrite Colosseum]] and handed out [[Shadow Pokémon]] to winners.

[[Silva]] tried to stop the dancer's scheme by sneaking into [[Miror B.'s Hideout]], but was knocked down by some guards. Luckily, Wes and Rui showed up to save the day shortly afterwards.

Wes and Rui chased Miror B. to the bottom of Pyrite Cave and defeated him, even while wacky salsa music played. When Wes first confronted Miror B., his Pokémon were four Ludicolo. He also had a Shadow Pokémon, a {{p|Sudowoodo}}, this Sudowoodo is later replaced by {{p|Armaldo}}. He was fond of using {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Leech Seed}} to regenerate the health of his {{t|Grass}}-type Pokémon. Wes was able to rescue Plusle. Miror B. retreated then and wouldn't be heard of again for quite some time. However, if Wes returned to the hideout, he would find that in Miror B's place was his 'successor', [[Mirakle B.]].

The next time Miror B. showed up was at [[Realgam Tower]]. The dancing king had one of the keys needed to unlock the tower itself, and guarded it in the maze that surrounded the tower. He was beaten again, although this time without the crazy music, and lost the Red ID Card to Wes.

After Cipher and [[Team Snagem]] fell, Miror B. still appeared as an opponent in the [[Deep Colosseum]].

=In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]=
Miror B. later appeared in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], with a completely new outfit but still with his trademark afro. He is no longer an admin of Cipher, instead attempting to set up Team Miror B. together with [[Trudly]] and [[Folly]].

In this game, when a Shadow Pokémon is defeated before it is snagged and its trainer can't be rebattled, Miror B will obtain the Pokémon. He can be found at any Pokéspot, Pyrite Colosseum, and Realgam Colosseum. He has three set appearances: [[Cave Pokéspot]], [[Outskirt Stand]], and [[Gateon Port]]'s lighthouse. After capturing all Shadow Pokémon Miror B will appear at the lighthouse in Gateon Port. He will have a Shadow {{p|Dragonite}}, the final Shadow Pokémon of the game. Thanks to a radar placed on him by Trudly and Folly, it is easy to find him when he is around.

Pokémon Trainer

[[Image:Pokemon trainers.jpg|thumb|Pokémon Trainers]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who [[captured Pokémon|catches]], [[Pokémon training|trains]], cares for, and [[Pokémon battle|battles]] [[Pokémon]]. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are all Trainers.

Many Trainers leave home at about the age of 10, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]]. Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle.
[[Image:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|left|Trainers from different classes: A [[Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]], a [[Lass]], and a [[Bug Catcher]]]]
Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[List of trainer classes|classes]]: [[Youngster]]s tend to stay close to home, and [[Bug Catcher]]s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; [[Hiker]]s traverse mountains and caves, and [[Cool Trainer]]s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, Trainers may vary greatly.

Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]]. However, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle.

Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and [[Pokémon champion|Pokémon League champions]]. There are also a special class of trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to [[Pokemon Emerald]], and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges. Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[Villainous teams|villainous teams]]. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

==Trivia==
*For [[DP005]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."

== Super Smash Bros. Brawl ==
