List of clothing (anime)

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time. At the start of a new [[series]], characters continuing on will change their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
====Main series====
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by [[Ash's hat|his hat]]. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green, and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.

=====Original series=====
[[File:Ash anime art.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
Ash's first outfit is, unlike those of many of {{ashfr}}, a unique outfit design in its own right, though it is also directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}, which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves, and also the artwork for the games.

The upper part of the outfit is a medium blue jacket with gold trim and white collar and sleeves, worn open over a dark cyan or teal t-shirt. Ash kept his [[Kanto]], [[Orange League]], and [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, which from time to time, would be taken off by him, most notably when his Pokémon need warmth. His lower outfit consists of jeans with light blue cuffs, black and white sneakers with red dots on both sides, and a brown belt, which he used to hang his [[Poké Ball]]s.

Ash also wears green finger-less gloves with light green borders, and of course, [[Ash's hat|his hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which he won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. Ash would turn his hat backwards when he was concentrating heavily, such as when he would face a Trainer or capture a Pokémon. This was very much the case early in his journey in Kanto, though by the time his journey in Johto ended, he hardly ever turned his cap.

He has a green [[bag|backpack]] with a yellow square label and slings with black adjusters on them. The backpack has two pockets and two open compartments on each side. The main, bigger pocket is delimited by a black zip fastener, while the external pocket has an orange stripe on it.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''. Ash has worn this outfit in the most episodes, wearing it during a total of 273.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''=====
[[File:Ash AG 3.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did. This outfit was given to Ash as a gift by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new jeans and sneakers. In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash can be seen wearing a T-shirt similar to the original series, but with an orange horizontal stripe. However, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps Badges pinned to the inside. The backpack is green, with one pocket and a red Poké Ball design on it.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: the new ones take on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat, backpack, and hoodie pocket reflect the {{i|Poké Ball}} symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Ash has worn this outfit in more different series than any other, wearing it during three different series.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''=====
[[File:Ash DP.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new jeans, and new sneakers. The gloves are the same as those from his second outfit. The backpack is similar to the one he wore in AG, being green with two pockets, and having a white Poké Ball design with a red "button". It should be noted that this new outfit possessed some similarities to that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The primary differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves, but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the {{i|Poké Ball}} symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss]]''.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''=====
[[File:Ash Ketchum BW.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's fourth outfit]]
As expected, Ash has received a new outfit for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

As with his previous outfit, this one displayed some similarities to the outfit worn by {{ga|Hilbert}} from {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the main differences being the clothing shades, it having a yellow zipper, the coat being nearly all zipped up instead of being partially open nearing the bottom, it lacking a satchel and the hat, which resembles the one from the original series. Ash's new clothing closely follows the same color scheme he has always had: red, blue, yellow, green, black, and white. In this series, Ash's sneakers are high tops, rather than the normal sneakers he wore during the other series. Instead of blue jeans, Ash starts to wear black baggy jeans and wears a hooded jacket just like in AG, colored mostly blue and white along with a yellow zipper. He wears black finger-less gloves but the border is red. The backpack is blue-green, with one pocket, black straps, and a light green, curved stripe on it, resembling a Poké Ball design.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon the Series: XY''=====
[[File:Ash XY 4.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's fifth outfit]]
Ash's outfit possessed some similarities to the outfit worn by {{ga|Calem}} from the games, with some differences. Ash uses a backpack instead of a satchel, like his Best Wishes outfit. The jacket that Calem wears has been shortened into a collared shirt for Ash, and a black undershirt is visible, both worn very much in the same style as {{ga|Red}}'s Generation III outfit. Ash wears red high top sneakers, similar to those worn in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', and darker blue jeans. The backpack is one pocket, colored green with black straps and a white, slanted Poké Ball design on it, similar to previous generations. The gloves are the same as those from his fourth outfit.

Ash's hat continues to sport the rounded Poké Ball design seen in previous generations, and most notably seems to be directly based on Red's Generation III hat; albeit modified to somewhat resemble characteristics of Calem's hat as well. In general, the outfit heavily borrows characteristics from Red and Calem.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' to ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''. This is the second outfit that Ash has worn in more than one series, namely two.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''=====
[[File:Ash_SM.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's sixth outfit, with his original Z-Ring]]
This outfit is almost identical to the outfit worn by {{ga|Elio}} in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, with the coloring of the shirt being inverted and the hat being recolored from black to red, in keeping with the usual color scheme of Ash's headwear. This outfit deviates from Ash's previous styles in many ways; Ash no longer wears jeans, instead of wearing ribbed capri shorts with a red border, he now wears only a t-shirt with no jacket or hoodie over the top, and he no longer wears gloves and socks. His shoes are blue and are modeled after those worn by people to stand in water. His backpack, shorts, and shoes are all identical to Elio's.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' to ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]''. In the same episode, Ash obtained a silver [[Z-Ring]], which he wore until eventually replacing it with a black [[Z-Power Ring]] in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]''.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Pokémon Journeys: the Series''=====
[[File:Ash JN.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's seventh outfit]]
The outfit for ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' consists of a blue vest with yellow outlines, a white short sleeve undershirt with a red stripe, indigo shorts with black outlines, and black sneakers with blue highlights. His hat is red with a black Poké Ball design in the shape of the letter C. His backpack is green and black with one pocket and a C-shaped Poké Ball design similar to the one on his hat. This is the first outfit since the ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' outfit not to have any similarities with a male player character's outfit.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''.

====Alternate movie continuity====
This section deals with the main outfits worn by the [[Ash Ketchum (M20)|alternate version of Ash]] who appeared in the twentieth, twenty-first, and twenty-third Pokémon movies.

=====''I Choose You!''=====
[[File:Ash M20.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's outfit from [[M20|the twentieth movie]]]]
This outfit from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which retells parts of Ash's journey during the earliest episodes of the original series, is nearly identical to his original outfit, with certain parts of its design slightly altered. His hat now bears a logo similar to the one he has on his ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' hat, except it is colored green and a part of the upper section is missing, which gives it a similar appearance to the old logo.

His jacket was also given a few changes. It is a different shade of blue, it now has pockets that are horizontal rather than diagonal, the white collar is slightly smaller, the gold trim on the bottom is now just a small stripe, and there is now just a single top button instead of the original two. His shirt is black instead of dark cyan or teal and it isn't tucked into his belt, making the belt not visible. Ash's blue jeans now have cuffs that resemble bracelets. His black and white sneakers are less detailed and lack the red dots. The hat's original logo now appears on his backpack, which is two shades of green with one pocket.
{{clear-left}}

=====''The Power of Us''=====
[[File:Ash M21.png|thumb|left|180px|Ash's outfit in [[M21|''The Power of Us'']]]]
In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', Ash has another new outfit, this time unlike anything seen in the main series. Besides retaining the same hat that he wore in the previous movie, this outfit consists of a light-blue and white jacket with a large red collar, which in turn has a single yellow line across the center and a similarly-colored trim at the bottom of said jacket. His jacket is kept open to reveal a black shirt, looser-fitting than his previous outfit. The bottom half has him sporting gray capri shorts with a thin white line coming down both sides, and blue sneakers with orange laces. His usual fingerless gloves are black with a blue line across the cuff. His backpack is dark blue and black with a small Poké Ball design on it and one pocket.
{{clear-left}}

=====''Secrets of the Jungle''=====
[[File:Ash M23.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's outfit in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'']]
Ash gains another new outfit in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', which closely resembles his outfit from ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. Notable differences include more details on his blue vest, white and blue shoes with yellow accents instead of black, dark gray shorts with yellow accents instead of indigo ones, and a Poké Ball on his shirt instead of a red stripe. He retains his hat from ''I Choose You!'' and his gloves from ''The Power of Us''.

=={{an|Misty}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's [[original series]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' outfit]]
[[File:Misty and Staryu.png|thumb|150px|Misty's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' outfit]]
====Original series and ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Most of her midriff is revealed here. She wore red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red drawstring backpack with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Misty holds a Key Stone on her hairband. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokémon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

She was shown wearing this outfit again during her return in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short pale and burnt orange ankle boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', but with a red drawstring bag. She is also seen wearing this outfit in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but with a pink purse.

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokémon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]], [[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]''), she wears her [[original series]] outfit. However, in ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' (second outfit)====
Misty wore a orange, summer-oriented outfit during her visit to [[Alola]] in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]''.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====

====Other clothes====
* Misty wore a pink blouse and a long, brown skirt in her fantasy of France in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.

=={{an|Brock}}==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[File:Brock OS.png|thumb|left|80px|Brock's [[original series]] outfit]]
[[File:Brock AG.png|thumb|120px|Brock's ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' outfit]]
[[File:Brock DP.png|thumb|120px|Brock's ''Diamond and Pearl'' series outfit]]

====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets. With it, he carried a large, blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

It is assumed he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''====
In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt. His clothing slightly mirrors that of his game counterpart in Generation III.
His shoes are dark blue, and his new backpack is blue but has no bedroll.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''. In the main series, it was first seen in Brock's comeback episode ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]''.

====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Brock's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt. His new shoes and backpack are still blue, and his backpack does not have a bedroll.

Brock started wearing this outfit prior in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and was last seen wearing it in [[BWS01]].

====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''====
Brock's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' outfit looks almost identical to his original outfit. The only difference is his vest, which now has just two pockets instead of the original four. Brock also holds a Key Stone necklace inside his shirt. Brock wore this outfit during his return in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

During his visit to Alola, Brock wore a summer shirt with a blue, green and white pattern, and cream-colored shorts. He wore this outfit in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]''.
{{left clear}}

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Brock SM.png|thumb|120px|Brock's Sun & Moon outfit]]
* Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
* Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premiere in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
* One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like {{i|Poké Ball}}s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
* Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
* Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
* Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Brock's jacket]]
* Brock's first swimwear was a pair of light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. From ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' onwards, these trunks were colored dark purple, due to the different palette used in the digitally colored episodes beginning with ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]''.
* In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', Brock wore a pair of olive green trunks with an orange stripe down the side. These trunks would later become Brock's main swimwear in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Brock also wore his new trunks in the hot spring scene in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but this is only known from the artwork, as in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck was seen above water.
* Like Ash and Dawn, Brock wore a different swimsuit than his normal one in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' - in Brock's case, a pair of dark green trunks with white lines on them. Like Ash's and Dawn's new swimwear, Brock's new trunks are quite unique, as he only wore them in that movie.

=====Snow wear=====
* Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'' and ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
* Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum from ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' to ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', as well as part of the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Other clothes====
* One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
* He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
* In ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', Brock fantasizes about wearing {{wp|samurai}} {{wp|ō-yoroi}} armor and a {{wp|sumo}} suit.
* He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
* He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
* He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.
* In ''[[DP088|Camping it Up!]]'', ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', and [[DPS02]], Brock is seen wearing a gray tank top and shorts as sleepwear.
* In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Brock wore a nurse outfit similar to the one that the Nurse Joy of [[Melemele Island]] wears.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[File:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|Tracey's main outfit]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, reddish-brown shorts, blue and yellow sneakers, an orange backpack, and his most notable accessory, a salmon-colored headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of any of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====

====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
* His first swimsuit was a pair of navy-blue swim trunks with two red lines on either side, as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
* The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
* The third was seen in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfits===
[[File:May AG 3.png|120px|thumb|left|May's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' outfit]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark blue bike shorts, white skirt, a pair of black socks, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, a yellow waist-pack, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based on the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
[[File:May DP series.png|thumb|200px|May's ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' outfit]]

====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' and ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is based on the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a sleeveless and short orange tunic with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waist-pack similar to the one she carried in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her [[DP079|latest appearance]], and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:May Dress M08.png|250px|thumb|May's dress in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'']]
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a Beautifly design similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large red bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandana}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[File:May Wallace Cup.png|thumb|200px|May at the Wallace Cup]]

* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the Contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a vermillion top with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach-pink veil with a green gem on top, and a light purple long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown sandals and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
* May's most common swimwear is a yellow hearts two-piece swimsuit with shorts. This was shown in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'' and ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.
* May also wore a pink polka-dotted one-piece swimsuit in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.
* May wore a green bikini with red hearts on her hips in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''.
* Twice May wore a pink bikini, first in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and then a second time in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]].

=====Snow wear=====
* May wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
* On a flashback at the [[Ice Rock]] in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', May wore a magenta pink winter dress with white fur, a green collar, a lime-green belt, beige mittens, and pink snow boots.

====Other clothes====
* May was seen sleeping in a plain yellow t-shirt in the beginning of ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]''.
* May wore a maiden outfit and a Nurse Joy outfit in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''.
* May was seen briefly wearing a white t-shirt in ''[[AG053|Game Winning Assist!]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. However, it is unknown what the rest of her pajamas look like, since nothing below her chest was seen underneath the blankets.
* May wore orange pajamas and a white trim-on sweater in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.
* May wore sleeveless pink colored ninja clothing in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save!]]''. Like Ash, she did not wear a white headband like the majority of the other characters.

===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a black V-neck tanktop with a white undershirt and a pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink {{i|Poké Ball}} print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in the front and a black bracelet on her right wrist. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow backpack with all her personal belongings. It is nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart}}'s with the exception of her scarf and bag.

Unlike the female companions preceding her, who both changed outfits upon returning in later series, Dawn continued to wear this outfit even throughout her return in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
* In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in Contests with each of the Sinnoh starters. In her Chimchar fantasy, she was seen wearing a crimson red dress; in the Turtwig fantasy, she was wearing a lavender suit with a top hat; and in the Piplup fantasy, she was wearing a light green dress.
* She frequently wears a pink dress during her Contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] Contest, she wore a red-pink hair ribbon tied at the back, decorated her dress with a gold flower at the left side, and a red-pink ribbon with long tails and a red-pink sash, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] Contest, she added a yellow sash around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow sash was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]]. In the first round of the [[Celestic Town]] Contest, she decorated her dress with fluffy fur, similar to {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s. In the [[Lilypad Town]] Contest, she again wore her yellow sash with long white opera gloves. In the [[Daybreak Town]] Contest, she wears short white gloves, with one red-pink Ribbon in each one, and her shoes have one yellow rose in each. Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in Contests.
* In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Dawn wore a pink outfit for the [[Alamos Town]] Contest.
* In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain light powder-blue dress with a yellow Ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.

* In the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]], she wore a new light yellow dress with a red-pink ribbon sewn to the chest, like the one on her forehead, an orange sash at the torso area, white ruffles, opera-length white gloves, and white pumps.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}==
[[File:Team Rocket trio SM.png|thumb|260px|left|Team Rocket's main outfits]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunts}} wear a black uniform of similar design. However, in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', it was revealed that Jessie and James designed their own uniforms to "express their sense of style." Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[HS12|Training Daze]]'', where they (along with the other trainees) wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|250px|thumb|Team Rocket's black uniforms]]
Jessie and James changed into their black uniforms in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. They wore these outfits from ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom]]'' until ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' when they switched back into their white ones.

====''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''====
In addition to their regular outfits, Jessie, James, Meowth, and also {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} dress in light summer clothes when they are in public and off work in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. Jessie wears a purple sleeveless shirt with pink flower prints, a light purple coat tied around her neck, faint purple pants and white sandals; She also wears a light yellow hat, a yellow wristband and brown sunglasses. James wears a light green shirt with light heart prints in the front, light yellow shorts and blue shoes; He also wears a blue and white cap with a green logo on the front and black sunglasses. Meowth wears a red polo shirt, dark yellow shorts, an orange visor hat, orange slippers and greenish sunglasses. Wobbuffet wears a pink shirt, a light brown hat and blue triangular sunglasses.

====''The Power of Us'' and ''Secrets of the Jungle''====
[[File:Team Rocket trio M21.png|250px|thumb|Team Rocket's uniforms in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'']]
In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series, Jessie and James wear altered versions of their white uniforms. Jessie's shirt is now sleeveless and her skirt now has a belt, while James' shirt is shorter and has shorter sleeves.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{ashfr}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. {{an|Brock}} is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
* Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessilina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
* Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
* Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore blue swim briefs. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
* Jessie, James and Meowth were seen using scuba gears in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
* Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

====Other clothes====
* During the [[Gourgeist Festival]] in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', Jessie and James wore costumes based on a {{p|Gourgeist}} and a {{p|Mismagius}}.

A '''Scientist''' (Japanese: '''はぐれけんきゅういん''' ''Researcher Gone Astray'' in Generations I, II, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}; '''けんきゅういん''' ''Researcher'' in Generations III, V, VI, and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}) is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are men in [[wp:White coat|lab coats]] and glasses, with the ones in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} holding {{wp|beaker (glassware)|beakers}} as well. They are often aligned with [[Team Rocket]], as shown throughout the first three generations, and with [[Team Galactic]], as shown in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In {{2v2|Black|White}}, female Scientists, who were depicted as women with dark hair and glasses wearing lab coats, were introduced.

They generally use inorganic or artificial Pokémon such as {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, and {{p|Magnemite}}, but also {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon in [[Sinnoh]]- and [[Unova]]-based games. Scientists of the Sinnoh and Unova regions start the battle by using [[battle item]]s such as [[X Attack]] or [[X Defense]]. In the [[Battle Maison]] in [[Generation VI]], they only use {{type|Poison}}, {{type|Electric}}, and [[fossil]] Pokémon. In [[Generation VII]], they keep their Pokémon in [[Repeat Ball]]s. Scientists in the [[Battle Tree]] use teams with strategies revolving around {{m|Trick Room}}.

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Scientists are known as '''Lab Men'''. In the English version of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Scientists are known as '''Researchers''', while Scientists working for [[Cipher]] are called '''Cipher R&D''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|シャドー研究員|シャドーけんきゅういん}}''' ''Shadow Researcher'') in XD.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Scientists appearing outside of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} have a sprite unique to themselves with clothes consisting of a tattered lab coat, unkempt hair, and black pants, while Scientists within the Battle Frontier use the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum sprite, which has them wearing a normal-looking lab coat and white pants. This may be a reference to {{wp|mad scientists}}; also, the only Scientists outside of the Battle Frontier in these games are either members of [[Team Rocket]] or inhabit [[Cinnabar Gym|a cave]], so it may reference their lifestyles.

===How I Became a Pokémon Card===
{{cleanup|section}}
[[File:Scientist HIBAPC.png|thumb|150px|Scientist]]
A Scientist appeared in ''[[PW27|Fossil + Pokémon = Aerodactyl!?]]''. The Scientist was in his laboratory with a woman when they get into an argument about discovering Pokémon. While the Scientist was tired, [[Team Rocket]] barged in and demanded him to give them the [[Old Amber]]. The Scientist accidentally tripped on a table leg, causing the table to fall and crash into the machine holding the Old Amber. This caused it to rapidly regenerate into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. When Team Rocket went after Aerodactyl, the Scientist pulled out a Poké Ball and caught Aerodactyl.

In an attempt to get away from Team Rocket, the Scientist retreated on his {{p|Dodrio}}. After stalling the villainous team with {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Exeggutor}}, he encountered a waterfall and sent out {{p|Lapras}} to cross the ocean nearby. Their getaway on the ocean was stalled after Team Rocket's {{p|Gyarados}} appeared from underwater. With no other option, the Scientist sent out Aerodactyl and blasted away Team Rocket. This caused the tides to get out of control which knocked the Scientist into the river. Aerodactyl rode down and saved Scientist after seeing its own kind. After saving him, the Scientist waved Aerodactyl goodbye as it flew off with the other Aerodactyl. The Scientist returned to the lab after being saved.

'''Sonia''' (Japanese: '''ソニア''' ''Sonia'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

==In the games==
Sonia is the granddaughter and assistant of [[Professor Magnolia]]. She is also [[Leon]]'s childhood friend. Sonia and her partner Pokémon {{p|Yamper}} participated in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with Leon, but they eventually dropped out. Sonia spends the duration of the main game discovering what she wants to do with her life, eventually choosing to pursue the truth behind the legends of the first king of [[Galar]] and the [[Darkest Day]]. Together with the {{player}} and [[Hop]], she discovers the existence of {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}}; and publishes her findings in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], a feat that helps her be recognized as a {{pkmn|Professor}} just like her grandmother.

In the [[Crown Tundra]] expansion, Sonia stays at a house in [[Freezington]] and requests the player to investigate some unusual footprints of a [[Swords of Justice|certain trio of Legendary Pokémon]]. Once the player catches and shows {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}} and {{p|Virizion}} to Sonia, she returns to the [[Wedgehurst|Pokémon Research Lab]].

===Main series===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|250px|thumb|left|Sonia and Leon in their childhood]]
[[File:Sonia anime.png|thumb|250px|Sonia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Sonia was a childhood friend of [[Leon]], and the two began traveling together when they became {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. However, a rift was formed in their friendship when [[Rose]] took an interest in Leon's potential and began mentoring him.

Sonia debuted in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', where she overheard {{Ash}} and [[Goh]]'s proclamations of Leon being a hero and mumbled to herself about it, which was noticed by the two young Trainers. Sonia explained to them about the golden statue behind them, which was modeled after the hero who stopped the [[Darkest Day]].

As Ash introduced himself and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, Sonia became infatuated with the Mouse Pokémon, gushing over Pikachu and caressing his ears, despite Pikachu's annoyance. She subsequently caressed {{TP|Goh|Raboot}}'s ears, being just as enamored with the Rabbit Pokémon. She then properly introduced herself as [[Professor Magnolia]]'s assistant and granddaughter. Then, Sonia explained that it was her "homework" to study the Darkest Day.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', Sonia was driving a car to chase Dynamax energy falling from the sky, and she picked Goh up along the way. The two decide to travel together to find out what was happening in the region, without realizing that they were being followed by someone at [[Oleana]]'s behest.

In ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', Sonia takes Goh to Turtfield, both visited the town to see its famous geoglyph, theorizing what connection it could have to Dynamax. From there, they head to Wedgehurst where Sonia introduced her grandmother to Goh and handed him a [[Dynamax Band]] from a Wishing Star that Sonia and Goh found. When they meet Magnolia, she tells about her progress in researching the Galar legend up until that moment, some time later they decide to travel to [[Stow-on-Side]], but before that Magnolia warns her granddaughter and Goh about the danger that Rose represents. When she and Goh arrive at the city mural, they are approached by the [[Oleana's subordinate|mysterious man]] sent by Oleana, who decides to battle Goh. During the battle, Goh's Rabbot accidentally destroys the mural, thus revealing a statue of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}.
[[File:Leon Charmeleon.png|250px|thumb|left|Sonia as a teenager with Leon]]
In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', still studying the statue, Sonia and Goh are approached by more of Oleana's subordinates, which forces the two to flee. Their next stop after that is on [[Slumbering Weald]], when they go deeper into the forest, Sonia and Goh meet the legendary Pokémon. Sonia and Goh end up finally finding the altar where Zacian and Zamazenta rested. Goh ends up finding the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]] and decide to leave for [[Hammerlocke]] where Ash and Leon were. Before they can enter the [[Hammerlocke Gym]], they have several [[Macro Cosmos]] thugs waiting for them, in order to buy time for Goh, Sonia asks him to move on. When henchmen use their Pokémon, Sonia with no way out is saved by [[Raihan]]'s arrival.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', it is shown that Raihan managed to defeat the henchmen easily, with that and with the fury of {{p|Eternatus}} starting to destroy the place, Sonia decides to go to the place of the battle. There she finds Leon almost defeated and tries to help him. When everything seemed lost, Zacian and Zamazenta join Goh and Ash to defeat the Pokémon. When they finally defeat the huge Pokémon in its last form, Goh and Ash capture it, and Sonia and Leon thank them for their work. In the end, Sonia is seen talking about everything that happened. And Magnolia decides to leave the responsibility of looking after {{p|Eternatus}}, now sealed in a safe, with her new position as Professor.

====Character====
Like her game counterpart, Sonia is quite intelligent, though a little distracted. During her trip with Goh, she proved to be a wild driver, although she doesn't admit it. In the past, she was [[Leon]]'s childhood friend and traveling companion, much like the games, but their relationship changed as Leon became closer to [[Rose|Chairman Rose]]. This made Sonia decide to pursue her own course, far from what Leon was looking for.

During the time she was traveling with Goh, Sonia showed a good relationship with the young Trainer, including encouraging him to continue his research and indicating that he could be a Professor in the future.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Sonia debuted in [[PASS06]]. She encountered her grandmother [[Professor Magnolia]] and her assistants [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]], [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], and [[Marvin]] at the [[Motostoke|Budew Drop Inn]]. Sonia explained the inn's statue and its connection to the [[Darkest Day]]. When Magnolia's trailer car broke down, she lamented not being able to research the geoglyph at [[Turffield]] and asked Sonia and her assistants to go in her place. After arriving in Turffield, Sonia investigated the geoglyph while Sōdo and Shirudomira challenged the [[Turffield Stadium|Gym]]. Once Sōdo's match ended, he and Marvin met with Sonia, who concluded the geoglyph was a drawing of the Darkest Day.

Later, in [[Hulbury]], Sonia and Sōdo had dinner with [[Rose]] at the Captain's Table restaurant. Noting that Sonia was investigating the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon, Rose invited her to investigate the vault in [[Hammerlocke]]. Afterward, Sonia received a call from [[Nessa]], who vented about her losses against Sōdo and Shirudomiria.

Later, in Hammerlocke, Sonia accidentally stepped on a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Oranguru}}'s fan, angering it. She was saved by Sōdo and [[Raihan]], who both teamed up to calm the Oranguru down. Afterwards, Sonia and Sōdo entered the vault, where they found tapestries depicting two heroes involved in the Darkest Day instead of the singular hero portrayed on the statue in the Budew Drop Inn.

==Trivia==
* Sonia failed [[Opal]]'s audition despite getting all three of her answers correct. Opal's notes on Sonia are: "You have talent, that's for sure, but you give up a little bit too quickly. Then again, I imagine it's not easy being the granddaughter of {{prof|Magnolia}}."
* Sonia is the first character to gain the position of [[Pokémon Professor]] over the course of the [[core series|games]] or {{pkmn|anime}}.

'''Ash's Muk''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベトベトン''' ''Satoshi's Betbeton'') was the ninth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his tenth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Muk Grimer EP030.png|thumb|left|220px|Muk in its debut]]
In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling through [[Gringey City]], which was in the midst of a power failure. The local power plant was being overrun by the mysterious {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Grimer}}. After the swarm was located, the Grimer's leader, a Muk, came and challenged the group. However, the vast numbers of {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} in the city combined attacks to clear out the Grimer, leaving only Muk. With the aid of {{AP|Pikachu}} and a {{p|Magnemite}} that was following it due to an electrical build up, Ash defeated and captured the Muk. It was then immediately sent to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] because its stench was so rancid that it could seep through the {{i|Poké Ball}}. However, Muk's horrid smell seemed to have disappeared by its later appearances as neither Ash, nor anyone around him, was affected by it.

Muk reappeared in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' when Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{Gary}} visited Professor Oak's Laboratory.
[[File:Jeanette Fisher Bellsprout Ash Muk.png|220px|thumb|Muk easily absorbing attacks]]
Muk's first {{pkmn|battle}} was in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', where it was selected for use in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. After [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s high-level {{p|Bellsprout}} had trounced {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, Muk made a surprise appearance as Ash's third Pokémon. Muk easily absorbed Bellsprout's physical moves and {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then simply smothered it with {{m|Body Slam}}, winning the match for Ash.

=====Orange Islands=====
In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', Ash used Muk to help him and {{Tracey}} find Misty, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, who was kidnapped by a giant {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the sewers of [[Trovitopolis]]. Muk and {{AP|Kingler}} also offered to fight for Ash in the Orange Island Championship battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', but Ash chose {{AP|Tauros}} instead.
[[File:Muk eager to fight.png|thumb|220px|left|Muk asking Ash to let it fight]]
Muk was reunited with Ash when he returned home in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Muk insisted on fighting {{TRT}}, and Ash ordered it into battle instead of choosing Bulbasaur. Muk managed to resist {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks and a {{m|Poison Powder}} from [[James's Victreebel]]. {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s {{m|Lick}} was even less effective, wiping Muk's face ineffectively to the point of causing pleasure instead of damage. It was then put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}}, but awoke after Gary intervened and drove Team Rocket away.

=====Johto=====
[[File:Ash Muk Gary Scizor.png|thumb|220px|Muk battling Gary's Scizor]]
In ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', Muk crowded into Ash's screen with Kingler, Tauros, and {{AP|Snorlax}} to wish him luck for his next Gym battle with [[Whitney]].

Muk's only other major battle was when Ash called it up from Oak's Lab in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', along with Tauros, Snorlax, and {{AP|Heracross}} in order to fight {{Gary}} in the [[Silver Conference]]. It was sent out originally to fight {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, and the two fought to a stalemate, with Muk's {{m|Sludge Bomb }}deflected by {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Blastoise's physical attacks absorbed into Muk's body. Ash pulled Muk for his {{AP|Bayleef}} quickly after. It was sent out to fight {{p|Scizor}} later, who dodged a Sludge Bomb easily. Muk absorbed both {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}, but Scizor was able to throw Muk using the latter attack, ultimately defeating it with {{m|Swift}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Muk was seen crushing [[Cassidy]], [[Butch]], and all of the stolen Poké Balls. It was also seen crushing Tracey when he opened the door to Oak's Lab for {{Delia}}.

In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Muk welcomed [[Professor Birch]] to [[Pallet Town]] with its usual friendliness.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Muk appeared at Professor Oak's lab. It was then transferred to Ash for a brief reunion. However, Muk was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', Muk smothered Professor Oak while Ash called him from [[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory.

Muk was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed for a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Muk was sent out of its Poké Ball so it could be compared with its [[regional form|Alolan Form]]. It immediately smothered Ash upon seeing him.

In ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', Muk joined Professor Oak in observing the data about {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} that {{Rotom}} sent to him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Muk.png|thumb|220px|Muk showing affection for its Trainer]]
Ash's Muk is an extremely happy and affectionate Pokémon. It is particularly affectionate towards {{an|Professor Oak}} and as a recurring gag first seen in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', it would always smother the Professor whenever Ash would make a call to the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]].
[[File:Ash Muk Jessie affection.png|thumb|left|220px|Muk loves humans and it's not too particular what kind.]]
Muk's affection also extends to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, second in enthusiasm only to {{AP|Bayleef}}, despite only having fought for him on three occasions. Muk obligingly crushes Ash in excitement whenever Ash returns to the lab or summons it to his party. Its affection also extends to complete strangers, as was seen when it completely ignored [[Jessie's Lickitung]] in order to hug [[Jessie]], also smothering [[James's Victreebel]] in excitement. It also smothered [[Professor Birch]] upon meeting him in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''. Professor Oak suggests that Muk's overwhelming displays of affection is simply because it loves humans.

Muk differs from most of Ash's other Pokémon in that it is a defensive Pokémon, with a low attack power and a small moveset. It has never been shown to be damaged by a physical attack, with its opponents' [[move]]s always absorbed by its sludge body. Despite being quite powerful and good in battle, it has only ever defeated one opponent: [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}.

{{anmov|poison|Sludge Bomb|EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!}}
{{anmov/f|poison}}

* In the English [[dub]] of ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Ash commanded Muk to use {{m|Poison Gas}}. In the original Japanese version, he simply called Muk by its name.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Muk EToP.png|220px|thumb|Muk in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
Muk only appeared on the scoreboard in ''[[SP16|One Half Of A Poké Ball]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] caught Muk off-screen and later used it as his last Pokémon in his {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Jeanette Fisher|Jeanette]] in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]''. Jeanette's {{p|Bellsprout}} had no chances of using its techniques against Muk's slimy body, and Ash won the battle.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' is the only completed [[series]] in which Muk has not appeared.
* Out of all the Pokémon that Ash has obtained in their evolved forms, Muk has been in his possession the longest, excluding Pikachu, who didn't have a pre-evolved form at the time.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, a game highly based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Muk can be found while walking in the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}}, making a direct reference to Ash's Muk, which was also found in a power plant.

'''Sabrina's Haunter''' (Japanese: '''ナツメのゴースト''' ''Natsume's Ghost'') was a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that briefly accompanied {{Ash}} in [[Saffron City]], before being left with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Haunter.png|left|thumb|220px|Haunter, Ash, and Pikachu]]
After Ash struggled to defeat [[Sabrina]], Sabrina's father told him that {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon would probably be able to defeat [[Sabrina]]'s {{t|Psychic}} minions and suggested going to the [[Pokémon Tower]] to find {{p|Gastly}}, Haunter, and {{p|Gengar}}. Ash found all three of them, but did not capture them. The Haunter that he befriended decided to follow him back to {{ci|Saffron}} though, at the end of ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''.

In ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Ash challenged Sabrina a second time, but Haunter abruptly disappeared. When Ash found it, Haunter disappeared once again, treating it all like fun and games. Haunter finally returns just as {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} was about to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}} and proceeded to make Sabrina laugh. This made a connection to Sabrina's old self, unlocking her heart, and while she was immobilized by laughter at the Haunter's faces, her Kadabra, who was psychically linked with her, was immobilized as well. Ash and Haunter were subsequently given the {{badge|Marsh}}.

Haunter was later left with Sabrina at the [[Saffron Gym]], to keep her under control.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Sabrina and Haunter.png|thumb|200px|Haunter and Sabrina]]
Haunter has a mischievous and happy nature, tending to have fun and make people laugh more than battling, though this usually involves hurting or scaring people. It was also showing being very sensitive, becoming very depressed when Ash initially failed to get amused by its humor, not to mention feeling sad when Ash said that he had to leave.

==Trivia==
* Haunter is {{Ash}}'s first unofficial Pokémon. Despite this, [[Sabrina]] and Ash both claim Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} Haunter in ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]'', implying it was officially his.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

After our Heroes dock on Lily Of The Valley Island for the Sinnoh League competition, Ash completes his registration and calls Professor Oak to thank him for the good-luck flowers and card. Ash also asks the professor if he will send the Pokémon he’s been keeping for Ash at his lab, and Professor Oak happily agrees.

Team Rocket, as usual, has a plan to steal Ash’s Pokémon, and grabs five of them during the transfer. The villains are soon sent blasting off again, but Ash’s Poké Balls go flying as well!

Our Heroes quickly find the Poké Balls, but they’re empty! So our Heroes set off to find Ash’s missing Pokémon. One by one, Corphish, Totodile, Snorlax, and Bayleef are all found safe and sound.

Team Rocket isn't through yet, though, and they go after Ash’s last missing Pokémon, Cyndaquil, with a seemingly invincible robot! During the battle, Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava, and uses its newly learned Eruption move to send Team Rocket blasting off a second time.

As the opening ceremonies begin, Ash notices that Nando, Barry, and Conway are all competing—as well as Paul. And so, as he looks forward to his first-round battle against Nando, we leave Ash at the beginning of the next chapter in his continuing journey to become a Pokémon Master!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} step out onto the bow of their ship as it approaches [[Lily of the Valley Island]], the location of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference|Sinnoh Pokémon League]]. Once they dock, they proceed through the village, where many vendors are set up in preparation for the event. Ash immediately heads to the [[Pokémon Center]] to register for the League, his friends noticing many other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, all with the same ambition. [[Nurse Joy]] scans Ash's [[Pokédex]] and receives his Trainer data on the computer, officially registering him for the Conference. {{an|Brock}} makes his routine romantic advances on Nurse Joy, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{m|Poison Jab|stops him}} and takes him away. Outside, a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] {{TRT}} observes Ash and plots to steal his Pokémon.

Ash and his friends make their way to the Trainers accommodation. While {{an|Dawn}} admires the setup, she feels a sudden chill and turns around to see [[Conway]] standing there. Ash and his friends learn that Conway is also participating. Inside, Dawn and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} instantly take a liking to the bed while Ash notices a basket with a note from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash immediately contacts the Professor via videophone and requests some of his reserve Pokémon to train with. Dawn is clearly excited to see some of Ash's other Pokémon onscreen, with {{AP|Muk}} instantly smothering Professor Oak with affection. Ash prepares for the transfer, exchanging his current [[party]], save for {{AP|Pikachu}}, for others.

In the opposite room with the [[Poké Ball]] transfer machine, Team Rocket pose as the operators, securing Ash's Pokémon. They take the five [[Poké Ball]]s and leave the room, claiming to be examining them. Outside, {{MTR}} rolls up in a Golf Cart. Ash and his friends wait, becoming uneasy, as the real operator shows up, revealing to Ash and his friends about the imposters. Outside, Ash and his friends confront Team Rocket who attempt to flee, but Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} sends them flying, along with Ash's Poké Balls. Dawn follows their descent and leads Ash to them. Unfortunately, all five Poké Balls are open and empty when they reach them.

They begin to search for the missing Pokémon. Immediately, Ash spots his {{AP|Corphish}} wandering around, while nearby, his {{AP|Totodile}} is playing in a fountain. Ash calls to his Pokémon and they immediately run towards him. Corphish shows him affection before Ash puts it in the Poké Ball. Ash gets up just as Totodile lands and {{m|Bite}}s his head, before hanging onto his shoulder, Ash happily [[recall]]ing it. At a nearby kitchen, [[Ash's Snorlax]] proceeds to eat all the food, much to the dismay of the cooks. Ash finds Snorlax and scolds him for eating food that isn't for him, and apologizes to the chefs. Snorlax pulls Ash's Pikachu off of his shoulder and licks him affectionately before Ash recalls it. After recalling Snorlax, however, he realizes he never asked Professor Oak to transfer it across. Back in [[Kanto]], at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], the Professor realizes he has made a mistake when he notices that [[Ash's Heracross]] is still there, getting sap out of {{AP|Bulbasaur}}’s bulb.

Meanwhile, Ash continues to search for his Pokémon when he spots {{an|Barry}} walking towards him, holding his head. Noticing the bump, they ask what happened. Barry recounts being tackled from behind by an unknown Pokémon, unable to identify it, but noted that he could smell something spicy. Ash believes he knows which Pokémon it is. Barry immediately holds Ash accountable since he revealed it was his Pokémon, but Ash and his friends run off. Ash calls out for the Pokémon, and it hits him from behind. It is his {{AP|Bayleef}}, and she shows clear affection for Ash. Ash tries to recall her, but she takes the Ball out of his hands, wanting to stay outside. Now, they have to search for only one more.

Back at the living quarters, the last Pokémon, [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] is confronted by Team Rocket in a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]. Cyndaquil flees as the mecha tries to strike. It then fights back with a {{m|Flame Wheel}}, dodging the mecha arms and accidentally setting a tree on fire. The smoke gets Ash's attention as he and his friends race over there. They see the situation and Ash has Corphish and Totodile put out the fire, along with Piplup's help. Bayleef launches {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut off the mecha's arms while Pikachu launches a Thunderbolt, but the electricity is ineffective and the mecha replaces its arms. Cyndaquil hides behind a tree while Bayleef fires another Razor Leaf, but the mecha's chainsaw arm blocks it. Ash calls out Snorlax, but it is sound asleep. Ash tries to wake it by pushing it, but it falls over, knocking the mecha down. The {{t|Water}} Pokémon fire attacks at the mecha, dowsing it in water, while Pikachu fires another Thunderbolt, but that fails. The mecha flies into the air as Cyndaquil comes out to battle, firing a {{m|Flamethrower}}. The mecha takes it and spins, sending fireballs raining back down. Cyndaquil scurries to dodge the mecha’s arms, but it gets cornered by a boulder. Meowth has the mecha grab Cyndaquil, who unexpectedly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{AP|Quilava}}. Ash checks it with his [[Pokédex]] as Quilava fires up its flames, darting underneath the mecha and using a new [[move]], {{m|Eruption}}, to destroy the robot and send Team Rocket blasting off. Ash is amazed at Quilava's strength.

Later on, Ash talks to Professor Oak as he proceeds to train with more of his Pokémon. His {{AP|Glalie}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Muk}} and {{AP|Donphan}} get time to {{pkmn|training|train}}. Later at night, the opening ceremony for the Sinnoh League kicks off as all the participating Trainers and spectators gather in the coliseum, watching the torch be lit among the fireworks. Ash looks around and notices familiar faces in the competition: [[Nando]], Conway, Barry and [[Paul]]. The main screen shows the first round pairings, and Ash's first match is against Nando.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at [[Lily of the Valley Island]] for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Lily of the Valley Conference

2021-03-21T08:49:09Z

GrammarFreak01: /* Trivia */

[[File:Lily of the Valley Stadium.png|250px|thumb|The setting for the competition]]
The '''Lily of the Valley Conference''' (Japanese: '''シンオウリーグ・スズラン大会''' ''Sinnoh League {{tt|Suzuran|Lily of the Valley}} Conference'') is the [[Sinnoh League]] general [[Pokémon League Conference|championship competition]]. All [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who have earned eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s from the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] are eligible to enter. It is held annually on [[Lily of the Valley Island]]. Competing Trainers are housed in hotels in small villages similar to previous League locations. It took place from ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' to ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

It was the first League Conference where a connection was made between the tournament itself and the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}}, which was stated by [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|The Elite Meet and Greet!]]''. Although [[Elite Four]] members and {{pkmn|Champion}}s had appeared before that, it was during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' that conference winners were revealed to earn the right to challenge the Elite Four and Champion.

{{Spoilers}}

==Competition==
===Opening ceremonies===
Although they aren't shown in full detail, the opening ceremonies include a fireworks show and the lighting of the League torch.

===Rounds===
[[File:Sinnoh League Scoreboard.png|thumb|250px|The scoreboard for the Full Battles]]
====Screening rounds====
Although not shown, it is assumed that there are some sorts of screening rounds, as there were many Trainers seen registering for the competition in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', but not seen in the actual battle round match-ups shown later in the episode, an example being [[Jeffrey]].

====Preliminary rounds====
The Top 64 Trainers proceeded to the actual tournament. The first three rounds feature three-on-three matches. The first two rounds are held in the three small arenas of the venue, while the Top 16 matches are held in the main arena. The battles take place on either a Rock, Grass, Water, or Ice field. When all three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are [[Fainting|unable to battle]], the Trainer is knocked out of the tournament.

====Final rounds====
After shuffling the match-ups, the Top 8 Trainers then compete in the center arena in a series of [[Full Battle]]s. When either Trainer has lost their six Pokémon, they are knocked out of the tournament. Beginning in this league, breaks were not given out to any of the Trainers whose three Pokémon were knocked out.

===Closing ceremonies===
Although they aren't shown in full detail, the closing ceremonies include a fireworks show, the league torch being extinguished, and [[Charles Goodshow]] and {{an|Cynthia}} presenting the winner with a trophy.

==Known contestants==

====Other participants====
Trainers here participated in the conference before the conference Ash participated in.

* {{EF|Flint}} of [[Sunyshore City]]

==Trivia==
* It was shown multiple times that the use of {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] is allowed in this tournament, which may be a reference to the change in rules in the [[2010 World Championships|2010 Video Game World Championships]]. However, the real-life championship's rules does not allow Mythical Pokémon, meaning that {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Darkrai}} would not be permitted.
* This is the final conference to date that [[Charles Goodshow]] appears in.
* This is the only [[Pokémon League Conference]] in which {{Ash}} places in the Top 4.
** It is also the only Pokémon League Conference in which Ash uses Pokémon he caught in previous [[series]] in addition to Pokémon he caught in the concurrent series.
* There are seven named contestants, less than any other League Conference.

==Blurb==

The kids are relaxing at the Grand Wazoo Resort on Wazoo Island when a man emerges from the water completely covered in seaweed. His name is Adam, and he is a treasure hunter who believes he has just uncovered the location of the King Neptune, a cargo ship that was wrecked long ago.

Adam and the kids go searching for the wreck in a sub, secretly followed by Team Rocket in their Magikarp sub. Team Rocket fires a missile at them and zips ahead. Adam and the kids manage to find their way to the cavern where the ship is located, where lots of Relicanth have made their home. Adam finds a trunk. Team Rocket shows up again to take the trunk, also destroying the ship.

Team Rocket then destroys the exit to the cave as they leave, and heads to the surface. Adam's sub follows the Relicanth out and catches up with Team Rocket. Angry at the destruction of their home, the Relicanth use Hydro Pump on Team Rocket, while Pikachu finishes them off with Thunder.

Opening the trunk, Adam discovers that the King Neptune was only carrying lots of Green Shards. Aside from that, he does have one real treasure to show for this adventure—the friendship of the Relicanth.

==Plot==
While still on their way to [[Mossdeep City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have stopped off at the [[Wazoo Island|Grand Wazoo Resort]]'s famous beach. There, they notice a shape in the water, and a weird, laughing seaweed creature emerges, scaring the group. {{Ash}} wonders if it is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but the creature is soon revealed to be a treasure hunter named {{OBP|Adam|AG094}}. He produces a necklace from his loot bag, which he claims is made of rare emeralds. He explains that he dives in search of treasure for a living, and takes the group back to his shop, where many deep sea treasures are for sale. Adam's wife {{OBP|Evelyn|AG094}} examines the necklace, but reveals that the necklace is made of [[Green Shard]]s, which are somewhat valuable. Adam is disappointed, but explains that he really hopes to find the long-lost treasure from a sunken cargo ship called the ''King Neptune''. The century old mystery has intrigued treasure hunters like himself. Adam goes on to say that he believes there is a connection between the local {{p|Relicanth}} and the treasure, because he found that necklace hooked onto a Relicanth. Ash then looks up Relicanth in the [[Pokédex]], and the group speculates for a bit. Adam expresses his determination to find the Relicanth again and hopes they will lead him to the treasure, and Ash says they would love to go with him. {{TRT}} overhears the entire conversation, with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] thrilled by the thought of sunken treasure. {{MTR}} reminds them that the treasures would be a welcome gift for the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}, and way to get their promotions. They cheer at the thought and become determined to get the treasure.

Out on the ocean, Evelyn mans their boat while the others prepare to dive down in Adam's submarine. After preliminary checks, it is full speed ahead, and the diving mission is on. As the sub dives into the darker, deeper parts of the ocean, Adam turns on its headlights, illuminating some intriguing deep sea {{t|Water}} Pokémon. Finally, a Relicanth appears on Adam's monitor and radar. Just then, the ship shakes violently, and Evelyn radios down to check on them. Another monitor shows the cause of the disturbance—a giant {{p|Magikarp}} that is ramming the sub. Ash recognizes it as Team Rocket's {{TP|Team Rocket|Magikarp Submarine|mechas}} and warns Adam about them, while Evelyn listens worriedly from above. Inside Team Rocket's sub, they paddle along doggedly, and James sends out {{TP|James|Chimecho}} to give them added motivation. Meowth hits a button and successfully fires two torpedoes which damage Adam's sub. Team Rocket pulls up alongside them and taunts via radio that they will get the treasure first. Everyone is okay, so Adam radios their situation to Evelyn and says they are going after Team Rocket and continuing their mission. Ahead, Team Rocket are following a Relicanth they think might lead them to the treasure, and Jessie orders them to push forward despite their sub beginning to flood. Team Rocket soon loses control and is helpless as their sub is pushed along by a current. Adam and the others have caught up now and again have the Relicanth in their sights. Despite the deep sea turbulence, Adam suspects that they must be close and follows the Relicanth into a small tunnel. Above, Evelyn worriedly tries to raise them on the radio, but communication is now knocked out due to their location. Adam skillfully maneuvers the sub through the small tunnel, but the rough current causes him to eventually lose control, so everyone hangs on and braces themselves.

Later, the group awaken unharmed. All the sub's interior emergency red lights are on now. They look out the window and discover they have made it to shore in an underwater cave containing an old sailing ship, which Adam declares must be the ''King Neptune''. Adam rushes off to explore the ship while the others discuss their situation. Presently, a group of Relicanth emerge from the hull of the ship, and the group admires them. Adam suddenly emerges, having found a treasure chest.

Just as he is about to open it, a voice from the water interrupts; it is the radio from Team Rocket's Magikarp sub, and they emerge and say their {{motto}}. Meowth hits a button and shoots out a rope-tied plunger to snatch the chest. As Adam rushes forward in anger, Meowth stops him by hitting another button that sends out two more torpedoes. Adam and the others duck as the torpedoes fly over them and strike the wrecked pirate ship, disturbing and endangering the Relicanth. Team Rocket gloats over their success, but notice that they are now surrounded by a bunch of angry Relicanth. Team Rocket yells at them, but to no avail. Jessie snatches the remote from Meowth and sends out two more torpedoes towards the Relicanth. Ash quickly sends out {{AP|Corphish}}, who destroys the torpedoes with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Team Rocket takes the opportunity to make their escape, and they even make sure they cannot be followed. Meowth hits another button that sends two rockets out from the back of their sub, causing a cave-in at the cavern exit. Adam, Ash, and the others are worried, but then they notice the Relicanth are all starting to swim in one direction. One of them pauses to call out to the humans, who realize the Relicanth must know of another way out. They get back in the sub and follow the Relicanth to another underwater tunnel, but the current looks rough in this one too. Adam assures them that they will make it through. After an anxious hour, Evelyn soon hears the speaker crackle to life and Adam informs her that they are returning to the surface. Back aboard the boat, Ash and his friends thank the Relicanth, while Evelyn scolds Adam briefly. But she has picked up Team Rocket on their radar, so they can still try to reclaim the treasure.

Some distance away, Team Rocket has also surfaced, and gloat over their victory, but that is when Ash and his friends catch up with them, accompanied by the group of Relicanth. From the boat, May sends out {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} to grab the treasure chest with its {{m|Vine Whip|vines}}. Team Rocket won't let it get away that easily, and they grab the chest as well. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, who lashes Bulbasaur with {{m|Poison Tail}}, breaking its hold on the chest and sending it flying. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, who attacks Team Rocket with {{m|Water Gun}} as the Relicanth join in with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Bulbasaur grabs the chest again with its vines and hands it to Adam. Finally, a {{m|Thunder}} from [[Ash's Pikachu]] sends Team Rocket blasting off.

Adam can finally open the treasure chest. Inside, everyone is surprised to only find more Green Shards. Adam is disappointed, but Evelyn says she can make some great jewelry out of them, much to May's delight. Evelyn even offers to make something out of them for May, who happily thanks her. Adam thanks the Relicanth for everything, and expresses determination to continue his treasure-hunting adventures. As the sun sets, Ash and his friends continue towards Mossdeep City.

==Trivia==
* The dub title of this episode was originally reported as ''Really, Really Relicanth!''.
* In the dub, {{Ash}} [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|connects the real world]] with the [[Pokémon world]] when, while {{OBP|Evelyn|AG094}} is looking at the green shards, he says that {{OBP|Adam|AG094}} may be able to find something that "costs millions of dollars".
** Moreover, while pursuing {{p|Relicanth}}, [[Jessie]] says she will find the treasure even if it means chasing Relicanth down to ''China''.
* In the dub, music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' is used.
* This episode first aired in Japan on the same day {{game|Emerald}} was first released.
** Adam finding [[Green Shard]]s, which he initially mistakes for emeralds, may be a reference to this.
* In the Brazilian dub, {{p|Relicanth}} is called "Relicário" throughout all the episode. This is not the first time Brazilian dub changes a pokémon name, it happened first in the Bulbasaur evolution line, being the names changed for: {{p|Bulbasaur|Bulbassauro}}, {{p|Ivysaur|Ivyssauro}} and {{p|Venusaur|Venossauro}}.

===Errors===
* When {{MTR}} imagines {{an|Giovanni}} sleeping on his bed, the edge of his blanket is decorated with jewels. However, in the next shot, these jewels are missing.
** Also, the white ring on his cap disappears and reappears between scenes.
* When Jessie tells {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use {{m|Poison Tail}} on [[May's Bulbasaur]], the 'R' on her shirt is seen as a mirror image.
* When Team Rocket blasts off, Seviper is missing.
* When {{TP|James|Chimecho}} appears during Team Rocket's motto, it seems to have two spikes on its back rather than one. However, this isn't [[AG087|the first time]] this has happened.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, when Adam and Evelyn are talking through the radio, a distorted static sound effect is added to Adam's voice. This sound effect is removed in the English dub.
* In the English dub, Jessie says that they will follow Relicanth all the way to China if they have to. In the original Japanese version, she says they will follow Relicanth to the ends of the earth.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which Pokémon does {{p|Remoraid}} evolve into?
* Choices: {{p|Octillery}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{p|Mantine}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Octillery}}, you were right!

{{cleanup}}
[[File:Cristina Vee.jpg|thumb|250px|Cristina Vee]]
'''Cristina Vee''' (born '''Cristina Valenzuela''') is a voice actress and assistant voice director for the English-language [[dub]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is also credited as '''Cristina Vee Valenzuela'''.

GrammarFreak01: Undo revision 3337673 by PokeAmour (talk)

{{samename|series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]|Pokémon Trading Card Game#Original Series|Pokémon Trading Card Game → Original Series}}
[[File:Original series.png|thumb|A poster for the [[series]], featuring {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}} and some of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}]]
'''''Pokémon the Series: The Beginning''''' and '''''Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver''''', collectively referred to as '''''Pokémon''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') and referred to by fans as the '''original series''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|無印編|むじるしへん}}''' ''unnamed saga''), are the first [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and are based on the events of the [[core series]] [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} [[Pokémon games]], respectively. They were succeeded by ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. They ran from April 1, 1997 to November 14, 2002 in Japan and from September 7, 1998 to October 25, 2003 in {{pmin|the United States}}. They were not given English names until after the release of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

During the original series, rookie {{pkmn|Trainer}} [[Ash Ketchum]] begins his {{pkmn|journey}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], leaving his [[hometown|home]] of [[Pallet Town]] with the only [[starter Pokémon]] that {{an|Professor Oak}} had left to give: a reluctant and moody {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash's quest begins in earnest to defeat all of the [[Gym Leader]]s and get to the [[Pokémon League]] as soon as he has gained Pikachu's trust, and he is joined by two mentors, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}.

After competing in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] and not performing as well as he had hoped, Ash journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] to receive the [[GS Ball]] from [[Professor Ivy]], as it cannot be transported to Professor Oak by [[PC]]. During his time there, Ash competes in another Pokémon League, the [[Orange League]] and meets a new {{ashfr|friend}} named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. When Oak cannot figure out how to open the GS Ball on Ash's return to Pallet, the Professor sends Ash to [[Johto]] to give the special [[Poké Ball]] to [[Kurt]]. While there, Ash again competes in a Pokémon League, the [[Silver Conference]].

Episodes in the original series are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''EP''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of original series episodes]].

==Blurb==
It’s Ash Ketchum’s tenth birthday, and he’s ready to do what many 10-year-olds in the Kanto region set out to do—become a Pokémon Trainer! Things don’t go exactly the way he planned when he ends up with a Pikachu instead of a standard first Pokémon, and winning Gym Badges turns out to be much tougher than he thought. Luckily, he’s got former Gym Leaders Brock and Misty at his side, along with a bevy of new Pokémon friends, including Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.

==Chapters==
The original [[series]] is officially divided into three chapters:
* ''Pocket Monsters'' (ポケットモンスター) ([[EP001]] - [[EP080]])
* ''Pocket Monsters: Episode Orange Islands'' (ポケットモンスターオレンジ{{tt|諸島編|しょとうへん}}) ([[EP081]] - [[EP116]])
* ''Pocket Monsters: Episode Gold & Silver'' (ポケットモンスター {{tt|金銀編|きんぎんへん}}) ([[EP117]] - [[EP274]])

==Dub seasons==
When the {{pkmn|anime}} was [[dub]]bed into English and other languages, the [[series]] was divided between six [[season]]s:
* [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] ([[EP001]] - [[EP017]], [[EP019]] - [[EP034]], [[EP036]] - [[EP037]], [[EP039]] - [[EP051]], [[EP054]] - [[EP057]])
* [[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] ([[EP052]] - [[EP053]], [[EP058]] - [[EP105]], ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'')
* [[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] ([[EP106]] - [[EP157]])
* [[S04|Pokémon: Johto League Champions]] ([[EP158]] - [[EP209]])
* [[S05|Pokémon: Master Quest]] ([[EP210]] - [[EP249]], [[EP251]] - [[EP262]])
* [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] ([[EP263]] - [[EP274]])

[[Pokémon TV]] and [[Prime Video]] additionally divide it instead into ''Pokémon the Series: The Beginning'', consisting of the Kanto and Orange Archipelago episodes, and ''Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver'', consisting of the Johto episodes.

==Trivia==
* Originally, this [[series]] was meant to last for a year and a half, approximately as long as the [[Kanto]] saga would have lasted, had the [[EP038]] incident not happened.
* This is the only series in which:
** The {{pkmn|journey}} is based on two different [[generation]]s of the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], being based on both [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}.
** Ash doesn't have the same group of regular traveling companions for the entire series, with {{an|Brock}} briefly being swapped out for [[Tracey Sketchit]] during the [[Orange League]].
** [[Jigglypuff (anime)|A recurring Pokémon]] wasn't {{pkmn2|caught}} by a {{ashfr|main character}}.
** All of its dub seasons are dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment]].
** Ash places in the Top 16 of a Pokémon League Conference, his lowest placing to date.
* At 274 episodes, this is the anime's longest series.
** This series also has the most [[dub]] seasons, with five.
** This series also contains the most {{pkmn|movie}}s of any series, with five.
* The first 40 episodes were originally aired in {{wp|Broadcast syndication|syndication}} in the United States in 1998 before moving to {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} in 1999 for the remaining 12 episodes of [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]].
* Throughout the English dub versions of the [[Johto]] saga, the narrator refers to the group as being "On the road to Johto". Though it would be more correct to say "On the road '''through''' Johto", he could have just been referring to the Johto League.

'''Espeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エーフィ''' ''Eifie'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|day or morning]] (in the main series games), or when leveled up with high friendship with a [[Sun Shard]] in the [[Bag]] (in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]). It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.

It is the [[starter Pokémon]] in {{g|Colosseum}} alongside the other Generation II [[Eeveelution]], Umbreon.

==Biology==
Espeon is a quadrupedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with slender legs and dainty paws. It is covered in fine, lilac fur. This velvety fur is sensitive enough for Espeon to sense minute shifts in the air, thus allowing it to predict the weather. Its ears are large, and it has purple eyes with white pupils. There are tufts of fur near its eyes, and a small, red gem embedded in its forehead. The gem boosts the psychic powers that it gained to protect its {{pkmn|Trainer}} from harm. It also has a thin, forked tail that quivers when it predicts its opponent's moves. Espeon is rarely found in the wilderness and is more commonly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

* {{p|Eevee}} won't evolve into Espeon or {{p|Umbreon}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} due to lack of [[time|day and night cycle mechanics]].
* Even if all criteria to evolve {{p|Eevee}} into Espeon are fulfilled in [[Generation VI|generations VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], it will evolve into {{p|Sylveon}} if knows a [[Fairy (type)|Fairy]]-type move and has at least two hearts of [[Affection]] or just knows a Fairy-type move in [[Generation VIII]]. Similarly in generations from [[Generation IV|IV]] to [[Generation VII|VII]] it will evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} near [[Moss Rock]] or {{p|Glaceon}} near [[Ice Rock]] regardless of other conditions while getting level up.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Eevee}} cannot evolve into Espeon or {{p|Umbreon}} in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to the lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved there, and then traded back, or else traded from {{g|Colosseum}} or {{Pokémon XD}}.
* Espeon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Sunflora}} and {{p|Volcarona}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
** It also shares its category with {{p|Solgaleo}} in Japanese, as Solgaleo is also known as the Sun Pokémon in that language.
* Espeon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376</ref>
* Espeon has blue inner ears in the games, but in other forms of media, such as the anime, they are often purple.
* Espeon is tied with {{p|Glaceon}} for the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all [[Eeveelution]]s.

===Origin===
Because of its feline appearance, Espeon appears to be based on the legend of the ''{{wp|bakeneko}}'' and the ''{{wp|nekomata}}'', both magical cat ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' described as mysterious and intelligent, but the distinction between the two is that the latter is depicted with a forked tail. It may also be based on the {{wp|Lynx (mythology)}}, a feline creature that possesses the psychic power of clairvoyance. The red coloring of the jewel could be a reference to a {{wp|lunar eclipse}}, an event in which the moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow, making it appear red in color.

Its large ears can be traced from various felines such as {{wp|caracal}}s, {{wp|oriental shorthair}}s, {{wp|lynx}}es, and possibly {{wp|serval}}s. Espeon's ability to sense minute shifts in the air with its sensitive fur mirrors a cat's ability to use its sensitive whiskers to detect the slightest directional change in a breeze.

====Name origin====
Espeon is a combination of ''{{wp|extra-sensory perception|ESP}}'' (a branch of psychic abilities) and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Eifie is a combination of エスパー ''esupaa'' (''ESPer'', a person with psychic powers) and フィール ''fiiru'' (feel), referring to its extraordinary sensory abilities. It is very similar to Eevee, in both writing and sound (イーブイ/エーフィ).

'''Pokémon Sun''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターサン''' ''Pocket Monsters Sun'') and '''Pokémon Moon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタームーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Moon'') are the primary [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation VII]] and are set in the [[Alola]] region. The games are available on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

The games were announced worldwide on the {{pkmn|20th Anniversary}} of the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, February 27, 2016, at 12 am JST by [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] through [[Nintendo Direct]]. The paired versions were released worldwide on November 18, 2016, except in Europe where they were released on November 23, 2016. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Pokémon Sun and Moon were followed in 2017 by {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, which are set in an alternate storyline.

==Plot==
{{Spoilers}}
Unlike any other main games series, the game begins with a video call made by [[Professor Kukui]] to the {{player}}. Professor Kukui helps create a {{ga|Trainer Card|Trainer Passport}} for the player before they and the mother move from [[Kanto]] to [[Alola]]. Meanwhile, at roughly the same time, [[Lillie|a young girl]] is seen escaping what seems to be a lab with {{p|Cosmog|an unidentified Pokémon}} in her bag. As she gets cornered by the workers in the area, the Pokémon teleports itself and the girl away from the lab and away from danger.

Three months later, the player, along with the mother and {{p|Meowth}}, are enjoying their new home on [[Melemele Island]] as Professor Kukui enters their home and takes the player to meet the [[Island Kahuna|island kahuna]] in [[Iki Town]] to get their [[starter Pokémon]]. As they reach Iki Town, the kahuna is nowhere to be found, so Kukui sends the player to the [[Mahalo Trail]] in hopes of finding the kahuna. On the trail, the player spots the girl that escaped the lab and follows her to the Plank Bridge.

The Pokémon that the girl was holding escapes her bag as they reach the Plank Bridge, happy about the new environment it is in. Suddenly, a flock of {{p|Spearow}} attack the defenseless Pokémon, leaving the girl worrying and asking the player to save her friend [[Nebby]]. Even as the player had no Pokémon to battle the Spearow, the player rushes in and guards Nebby from harm before Nebby uses its power to destroy the bridge. Before the player and Nebby fall to their doom, {{p|Tapu Koko}} flies through the Spearow and bring the pair back to safely. Thankful for rescuing Nebby, the girl gives the player a [[Sparkling Stone]] that appeared after Tapu Koko's departure.

The player and the girl then return to Iki Town and get greeted by Kukui. Kukui introduces the girl as his lab assistant, Lillie, before the kahuna, [[Hala]], returns from resolving a problem on the island. After Lillie explains the encounter she and the player had with Tapu Koko, Hala gets touched by the moment and gives the player the choice to choose {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, or {{p|Popplio}} as their starter Pokémon. After a short ceremony with the player and the new Pokémon, Kukui gives the player a [[Pokédex]] and sends them to their mother to show off the new Pokémon.

Hala's grandson, [[Hau]], then appears in the town and challenges the player to a battle using the Pokémon that is weak to the player's starter. After the battle, Hala takes the player's sparkling stone and invites the player to a festival the following day. The next day, Kukui stops by the player's house again and takes him to {{rt|1|Alola}} so he can teach them how to catch Pokémon. Kukui then lets the player train before going to the festival.

At the festival, Hala and Kukui reveal that it is an event where Pokémon battles are held in honor of the [[Guardian deities|Guardian Pokémon]] in Alola. Hau and the player battle once again in honor of Tapu Koko, and this time the entire town watches, including Lillie, the player's mother and Meowth. After Tapu Koko approves of the battling, Hala returns the sparkling stone, which is now converted into a [[Z-Ring]]. Hala explains the Z-Ring's powers and the [[Z-Crystal]]s that can only be acquired by participating in the [[island challenge]], where the player must travel to all four of Alola's islands to become the island challenge champion. Afterwards, the player then returns home to prepare for the next day.

The next day, Lillie visits the player and the two head to Kukui's lab. In the lab, Kukui upgrades the player's Pokédex into a [[Rotom Pokédex]] and explains more about the island challenge, which includes taking trials and getting recognized by each island kahuna. Before taking any trials, the player must attend the {{al|Trainers' School}} to learn the basics of battling. Luckily, the player is able to take on the teacher's assignments and the player is able to take [[Trial Captain|Captain]] [[Ilima]]'s trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. After beating the teacher in battle, Ilima invites the player to [[Hau'oli City]] after the player trains some more.

When the player meets up with Ilima, two {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s appear, but they appear to be minor threats to Ilima. After a quick lesson from the player and Ilima, the Grunts flee and Ilima heals the player's Pokémon before challenging the player to a battle himself. After the battle, Ilima gets impressed by the player's team and allows the player to attempt his trial. On the way to Verdant Cavern, a wild {{p|Delibird}} drags the player to the {{al|Berry fields}} as more Team Skull Grunts are causing trouble with other people. The Grunts get defeated by the player, and they announce to mess with Ilima's trial.

As the player makes it to Verdant Cavern, Ilima explains the rules of the trial and lets the player attempt it. Midway into the trial, the Grunts from earlier challenge the player again and get defeated. The Grunts bother a wild Pokémon in the area, unwittingly helping the player complete the next section of the trial. As the player almost completes the trial, {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|S}}/Totem {{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|M}} ambushes the player and challenges the player to a battle. Upon defeat of the Pokémon, the player completes the trial.

After hearing that Lillie has gone missing, the player heads to {{rt|3|Alola}} and into [[Melemele Meadow]], where the player finds Lillie. Lillie again loses Nebby and the player has to go find it. After finding Nebby, the player returns to Lillie and leave the meadow to be greeted by Hau and Kukui. After hearing that Hau and the player passed their first trial, Kukui sends the player back to Iki Town for their grand trial with island kahuna Hala.

After defeating Hala, the player receives another Z-Crystal and is given a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pager]] in order to [[Poké Ride|ride Pokémon]] like {{p|Tauros}} in the Alola region. The player makes way to the next island, [[Akala Island]]. On Akala Island, the player attends the trials of [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]], and [[Mallow]] before battling island kahuna [[Olivia]]. On Akala Island, the player once again encounters [[Team Skull]] and encounters new people like a neglected member of Team Skull named [[Gladion]] who owns a Pokémon called {{p|Type: Null}}, and [[Hapu]], a wanderer traveling the region with her {{p|Mudsdale}}. After defeating the island kahuna, [[Faba]] invites the player and Hau to [[Aether Paradise]].

At Aether Paradise, the player and Hau meets the [[Aether Foundation]] President [[Lusamine]] and learn that the company is responsible for making Aether Paradise a sanctuary for abused Pokémon. In the middle of the meeting, a [[Ultra Beast|weird creature]] from [[Ultra Space|another universe]] attacks the player and after a short battle retreats to its own world. Lusamine becomes interested in the odd creature and sends the duo to [[Ula'ula Island]] to complete their island challenge.

On Ula'ula Island, the player prepares for the trials of [[Sophocles]] and [[Acerola]]. While taking these trials, the player learns about a {{al|Pokémon League}} under construction and is challenged to participate in it as soon as the player completes the Island Challenge. After completing the two trials, the player meets the Team Skull leader [[Guzma]] and visits their base at [[Po Town]]. After defeating the team in Po Town, Police officer [[Nanu]] and Acerola thank the player for rescuing a stolen {{p|Yungoos}} and head to the [[Aether House]].

Upon entering the house, Hau tells the player that Team Skull's Admin, [[Plumeria]], kidnapped Lillie and Nebby. Gladion overhears the conversation and demands Hau and the player to travel with him to the ferry terminal for their next destination. Before the trio leave, Nanu challenges the player as an island kahuna. Nanu gives the player another Z-Crystal and asks Gladion what he is depending on Team Skull for before departing. Gladion reveals to the player and Hau that they have to return to Aether Paradise to rescue Lillie and Nebby. Despite the crazy story, the player and Hau tag with Gladion to Aether Paradise.

At Aether Paradise, employees begin to attack the team as they believe they are intruders. They eventually reach Faba and Faba indeed hints that there is something unusual about Aether Foundation. After a battle from the player, Faba redirects the trio to the lower level of Aether Paradise, with the trio unaware that it is a trap to buy time. After learning of the trap, they head back up to find Faba, who brought reinforcements to battle them. [[Wicke]] then appears to them and says that Lillie might be with the President, but it would be hard to get to them. Faba then ambushes them again with more employees. The team defeat the employees and Faba again, resulting in Faba giving them access to the president's office.

The trio then spot Team Skull and Guzma in front of where they need to go. Gladion immediately takes on Guzma while Hau and the player take out the Grunts. After taking out the Grunts, Guzma takes down Gladion and the player takes his place in battle. Guzma gets defeated by the player again and is forced to let the team move onwards. The player then runs into Lusamine and Lillie. The player witnesses a darker side of Lusamine and learns that Nebby is being sacrificed to bring back {{p|Nihilego|the beast from earlier}}. Lillie tries to reason with her mother, but fails to do so, resulting in the player going after Lusamine.

Gladion and Hau catch up to the player and Gladion tells his mother not to open the Ultra Wormhole, but again, Lusamine ignores her children and opens the wormhole anyway. This results in many Ultra Beasts being spread out in Alola. With the help of Guzma, Lusamine tries to put a stop to the team, but they put both of the villains and the beast to a stop. As the Ultra Wormhole closes, Guzma, Lusamine, and the beast retreat to [[Ultra Space]] while Lillie checks on Nebby, who has now [[Evolution|transformed]] into a {{p|Cosmoem|new form}}.

The next day, Gladion gives Lillie the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|M}} and helps the player and Lillie get to the final Island of Alola, [[Poni Island]] and recommends finding the island kahuna. The player and Lillie eventually find Hapu again, who reveals the island has no kahuna. The three then travel to the [[Ruins of Hope]] where {{p|Tapu Fini}} grants Hapu the honor of becoming Poni Island's new kahuna after they both teamed up to battle an Ultra Beast. Hapu then talks about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and how there needs to be a ceremony at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} involving two particular flutes. Lillie shows Hapu the flute Gladion gave her and are told the other flute is on [[Exeggutor Island]]. Lillie and the player then head to Exeggutor Island to obtain Lillie's flute counterpart.

After the player takes the other flute, the player and Lillie return to Poni Island and head to the Altar. On the way to the Altar, they get ambushed by Team Skull. Team Skull battles the player in order to try and get them to talk about where Guzma disappeared to, but Plumeria puts a stop to the battling. Plumeria apologizes for her actions and lets them continue onwards in hopes of rescuing Guzma. Soon after, Hapu challenges the player to a Grand Trial and the player attends another trial soon after. With both trials complete, the player completes the island challenge. The only thing left to do is to rescue Lusamine and Guzma from Ultra Space.

The player and Lillie reach the Altar and both prepare to play their flutes and either wait until dawn{{sup/7|S}} or dusk{{sup/7|M}} to summon the Legendary Pokémon. After playing their flutes, an odd power in the Altar forms and takes Lillie's bag to the source of the power. Nebby is taken from the bag and evolves into Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}}. With its new power, Nebby takes Lillie and the player to Ultra Space. The two then run into Guzma, who seems to be possessed by the Ultra Beasts. Lillie continues to find her mother, and soon the two find Lusamine with the creature called {{p|Nihilego}}. Lillie again tries convince her mother to return, but Lusamine eventually pushes her daughter's buttons and even calls her ugly. Lusamine calls out a captured Nihilego and merges with it, leaving the player to battle Lusamine until Nebby separates Lusamine and Nihilego from each other. Nebby then grabs the trapped people and brings them to the Altar, where Hapu takes Lusamine and Guzma to safely.

Nebby, still wanting to travel with Lillie and the player, gets rejected by Lillie as she believes that Nebby will not be able to get the adventures it wants with her as she is not a real trainer. Lillie then recommends Nebby should be captured by the player. The player gets into a battle with Nebby and eventually captures it. Lillie is thankful that Nebby will now be taken care of by its new parent and leaves to help out her mother. Nanu then appears at the Altar to let the player know that the next step is to battle all four kahunas in a row. However, with the new {{al|Pokémon League}} opened in [[Mount Lanakila]] on Ula'ula Island, Nanu takes the player there to complete the final trial.

When the player reaches the Pokémon League, Professor Kukui greets the player and gives him the choice to battle any of the [[Elite Four|four members of the Alola League]] in whatever choice the player decides. The members include island kahunas Hala and Olivia, who use {{t|Fighting}}- and {{t|Rock}} types respectively, Trial Captain Acerola, who uses the {{t|Ghost}} type, and [[Kahili]], a former island challenge champion and golfer who uses the {{t|Flying}} type. After the player defeats the Elite Four, the player takes a seat in the Champion's chair before Professor Kukui surprises the player with a final battle before becoming the first Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}. After becoming Champion, the player is invited back to a big festival in Iki Town to celebrate the big accomplishment.

During the festival, Lillie pulls the player to the side and the two revisit the Mahalo Trail and cross a rebuilt Plank Bridge to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], hoping to get congratulated by Tapu Koko for finishing the island challenge. The player touches the statue in the Ruins of Conflict and gives thanks to Tapu Koko. After touching the statue, Tapu Koko challenges the player to a battle, which allows the player to either capture it or show the Guardian Pokémon the power of the new Alola Champion. After the battle, the two return to the festival. Shortly after returning, Lillie tries to tell the player of her next steps, but decides to instead let the player enjoy the rest of the festival.

The following day, Hau visits the player and drags the player to Hau'oli City. Hau and the player catch up to Lillie and Professor Kukui before the departure, and it is revealed Lillie is going to Kanto to help make herself and her mother get better and stronger. Lillie gives Hau and the player a gift before she sets sail to Kanto, leaving Hau in tears. The Professor shares some words with the player and Hau to show respect to Lillie's decision and soon after, the three make their way back home.

==Blurb==
Welcome to the World of Pokémon!

Are you ready to become a Pokémon Trainer? 
Trade and battle with friends all over the world!

Train your Pokémon for battle! 
Discover Pokémon and fill your Pokédex. 
Care for your Pokémon and help them grow. 
Adventure awaits in the Alola region!

==Features==
===Rotom Pokédex===
The {{player}}'s [[Pokédex]] is a special model that can be inhabited by a {{p|Rotom}}, called the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. Through the Pokédex, Rotom can speak human languages. The Pokédex also acts as a real-time map on the bottom screen on the player's Nintendo 3DS, showing the player's location, places of interest, and recommended destinations based on conversations made with [[non-player character|NPC]]s.

===QR Scanner===
{{main|QR Scanner}}
Players can scan QR codes corresponding to each Pokémon in the Pokédex, allowing them to register them as Pokémon they have seen. The QR scanner can also be used to receive [[event Pokémon]], such as {{p|Magearna}}.

===New forms===
Pokémon Sun and Moon are the first core series games where players can use {{p|Zygarde}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|10% and Complete Formes]], as well as {{p|Greninja}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|Ash-Greninja]] form. Zygarde's other forms, Zygarde Cell and Core, also make non-playable appearances.

====Alolan Forms====
{{main|Regional form}}
Some [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] have uniquely adapted to the microclimates of the Alola region, becoming what is known as a regional form of their species. These variant species take on different forms from those of their species in other regions, including a different appearance, Abilities, and more. An Alolan variant of a species is known as its Alolan Form.

===Battle Royal===
{{main|Battle Royal}}
The Battle Royal is a new battle format where four players enter into a free-for-all battle, with any player able to attack (or aid) another. The battle ends when all of one player's Pokémon faint, with the winner being the player who has the highest combined number of knockouts and number of remaining Pokémon.

===Z-Moves===
{{main|Z-Move}}
Z-Moves are a new type of move in which the Trainer and Pokémon's wishes combine to release their full power. Z-Moves are moves of great power, but can only be used once per battle.

In order to use a Z-Move, a Trainer needs two items: a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal. A Z-Ring is a band worn on a Trainer's arm. A Z-Crystal must be set into the Z-Ring, and if a Pokémon holds a Z-Crystal of the same type, they will resonate with each other. If the Pokémon then knows a move corresponding to the Z-Crystal's type, it will be able to use a Z-Move. All Pokémon can use Z-Moves, and there are Z-Moves for each of the 18 [[type]]s. There are also Z-Moves that can only be used by specific Pokémon.

When used in battle, a Z-Move takes over the entire screen in a short, cinematic display.

===Island challenge===
{{main|Island challenge}}
The island challenge is a new mechanic introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It is a rite in which players travel through the four islands of Alola with the goal of becoming the strongest Trainer, known as the island challenge champion. In order to complete the island challenge, players must overcome each island's unique trials which may include, but are not limited to, finding items, completing tests of knowledge, and battling with Pokémon.

At the end of each island's trial, the player will have to battle a [[Totem Pokémon]]. A Totem Pokémon is much larger than its species normally is and has a special aura that appears to aid it in battle, such as by raising its {{stat|Defense}}. Totem Pokémon are battled in [[SOS Battle]]s, where they summon ally Pokémon to participate alongside them.

The final trial on each island is a Pokémon battle with the [[Island Kahuna]] known as the grand trial. Successfully clearing the grand trial gives the player the right to move on to the next island in their challenge, conveying official recognition that the player has cleared all of the island's trials.

In the past, after completing all grand trials, challengers would head to [[Mount Lanakila]] for a final trial where they have to defeat all four Kahunas in a row in order to be acknowledged as an island challenge Champion. This has since been replaced by the newly-founded Pokémon League.

Each trial has a [[Trial Captain]] who provides guidance to trial-goers. All of the Captains are Trainers who undertook trials in their own island challenge a few years earlier.

===Elite Four and Champion===
During the course of the game, Professor Kukui wishes for the Alola region to have it's own Pokémon League after seeing and challenging Kanto's Pokémon League. The Alola League is completed right after the player completes all the trials of the four islands. The Elite Four can be battled in any order like previous games. The Elite Four members are [[Hala]] ({{t|Fighting}}){{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|M}}/[[Molayne]] ({{t|Steel}}){{sup/7|US}}{{sup/7|UM}}, [[Olivia]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Acerola]] ({{t|Ghost}}), and [[Kahili]] ({{t|Flying}}). As the Pokémon League was just founded, it doesn't have a reigning Champion. Instead the player battles [[Professor Kukui]]{{sup/7|SM}}/[[Hau]]{{sup/7|USUM}} instead.

===Poké Rides===
{{main|Poké Ride}}
Poké Rides are a new feature whereby players can call on the services of certain Pokémon in order to access areas that they would not have been able to access on their own. These Pokémon are not part of the player's team, but they may be called on at any time. Poké Rides replace [[HM]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon, as many of the Ride Pokémon have the same purpose as previously existing HMs.

===Hyper Training===
{{main|Hyper Training}}
Hyper Training is a new feature that lets the player maximize one or more of a Pokémon's {{IV}}s with the help of a man known as [[Mr. Hyper]] in exchange for [[Bottle Cap]]s. Only a Pokémon that has reached [[level]] 100 can undergo Hyper Training.

===Festival Plaza===
{{main|Festival Plaza}}
As the player progresses through the game, they will become able to use Festival Plaza. Festival Plaza allows players to see other people playing near them, or other players that are connected to the internet to {{pkmn|battle}} or [[trade]]. By talking to people and listening to their requests in Festival Plaza, players can receive Festival Coins. Festival Coins can be spent on stores in the plaza, and eventually rank up their Plaza.

===Poké Pelago===
{{main|Poké Pelago}}
Poké Pelago is a new feature that allows Pokémon that are stored in a [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] to explore a variety of isles, play on athletic equipment, and enjoy other fun activities. The various islands allow the {{player}}'s Pokémon to gather items, discover [[wild Pokémon]], and even raise Pokémon [[level]]s and [[Statistic|stats]].

===Pokémon===

81 new Pokémon were introduced for Sun and Moon, bringing the known total from 721 to 802.

==Compatibility==
Pokémon Sun and Moon can connect with [[Pokémon Bank]] since its v1.3. This allows it to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon Bank, including Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s that were transferred into Pokémon Bank. Pokémon Sun and Moon can also battle and trade with {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, but not with any Pokémon, forms, or Z-Moves introduced in those games.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United Kingdom|United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland}}''' in 1999 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]], both in English.

==Pokémon games==
All Pokémon games that have been released in {{pmin|the United States}} have also been released in the United Kingdom, with the exception of [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]. Additionally, English-language versions of [[Pokémon Tetris]] and [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]] have been released in the United Kingdom, despite the title never being released in North America. The United Kingdom release dates tend to be some time after the American release dates, with the exception of {{g|Dash}}, [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], and {{game|Black and White|s}}, which were released in the United Kingdom before the United States.

Games that are released in the United Kingdom are inconsistent with {{wp|American and British English spelling differences|British English spelling}}. For example, spelling variations such as ''color'' and ''center'' are not changed to ''colour'' and ''centre'' for the UK releases. This is due to most games using a single English translation as localised by [[The Pokémon Company International]] in the United States. However, the [[Generation VIII]] games reference some British slang such as "rubbish", "mum" and "chaps", as the [[Galar]] region is based on Great Britain.

===Event Pokémon===
[[Event Pokémon]] have been released in the United Kingdom sporadically. An event in 2005 known as "The Hunt for Deoxys" was held at Vue cinemas for two days each across the country, where players of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}} were able to download the [[AuroraTicket]]. The recent introduction of Wi-Fi events has allowed UK players access to many previously unavailable event Pokémon. Prior to this, very few event Pokémon were made available to UK players, and when events at malls and other stores were held, many parts of the country were overlooked. This changed in [[Generation V]], where in-store events became much more wide-spread across the country.

==Pokémon anime==
===ITV===
[[File:ITV Logo.png|thumb|200px|ITV channel logo since 2019]]
{{wp|ITV (TV network)|ITV}} is a British {{wp|free-to-air}} television network first launched on September 22, 1955<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/september/22/newsid_3131000/3131477.stm ''On This Day - 1955: New TV channel ends BBC monopoly'' - BBC News] (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref>. The network is split into 14 regional licences and a "national breakfast time" licence. These licences were originally awarded to separate companies that would produce local programming for their region as well as sharing programmes across the network. However, these companies eventually merged and by 2015<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/itv-buys-irish-broadcaster-utv-for-100m-a6700716.html ''ITV buys Irish broadcaster UTV for £100m'' - The Independent] (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref> the network was made up of three channels owned by two companies; {{wp|ITV (TV channel)|ITV}} and {{wp|UTV (TV channel)|UTV}} owned by {{wp|ITV plc}} and {{wp|STV (TV channel)|STV}} owned by {{wp|STV Group}}. The three channels broadcast largely the same content, although there continue to be local news broadcasts in the 14 regional areas.

From 1999 to 2001 and in 2003, the Pokémon anime aired as part of the programf ''{{wp|SMTV Live}}'', a Saturday-morning children's television programme which aired between August 29, 1998 and December 27, 2003 across the ITV network. Between 1999 and 2001, the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment of anime episodes was replaced by SMTV hosts {{wp|Ant & Dec}} (and often other celebrity guests) performing a "[[Pokérap|PokéRap]]"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSsp-Gpx1VE ''B*Witched - PokéRap - SM:TV Live 2000'' - VHS-Portal] (YouTube) (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref> or "Pokéfight"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l08XV0nuhfE ''Bryan Westlife Pokemon- Ant & Dec'' - Julesy83] (YouTube) (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref> {{wp|SMTV Live#Sketches|sketch}} instead.

===Pokémon movies===
The first three Pokémon movies, as well as the [[M20|20th]] and [[M21|21st]], were released theatrically, accompanied by the same [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] promotions as the US releases. The [[M01|first movie]] was released on April 14, 2000 to coincide with the two week Easter school holidays; the [[M02|second movie]] on December 22, 2000; the [[M03|third movie]] on April 6, 2001; and the 21st movie on November 24, 2019. The first three movies were released on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray; and the 20th and 21st on DVD and Blu-ray.

Every movie after the first three would be released on an irregular basis. Both the [[M04|fourth]] and [[M05|fifth movies]] were released directly to DVD in 2003 and 2005 respectively, while the [[M06|sixth movie]]'s DVD release came in 2006. In the same year, the [[M08|eighth]] and [[M09|ninth movies]] aired on Cartoon Network, but would not make video releases until 2015, when they were {{n|Eighth and ninth Pokémon movies are now available on iTunes|released on iTunes}}. In 2008, the [[M10|tenth movie]] was released on DVD. All of the movies from the [[M11|eleventh]] onward would be aired on television a reflectively short time after the US, on both CITV and Disney XD. In 2012, seven years after the US release, the [[M07|seventh movie]] finally saw the light of day in the country when it was released on DVD.

Additionally, the special episode ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' (marketed as a direct-to-video movie outside of Japan) saw a UK release on VHS. The DVD version was never released for unknown reasons.

The live-action ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' movie was filmed in London. It was released in the UK on May 10th, 2019.

===Home releases===
The VHS releases of Indigo League, as well as the first 3 Movies, ''Mewtwo Returns'' and ''Pikachu's Winter Vacation'' were distributed by Warner Home Video, under the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment label.

''Pokemon 4Ever'' and ''Pokemon Heroes''' original releases were distributed by Buena Vista Home Entertainment, under the Miramax Home Entertainment label.

''Jirachi Wish Maker'' was distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment U' under license from Miramax Home Entertainment.

''Destiny Deoxys'', alongside the re-releases of 4Ever and Heroes were distributed by StudioCanal for Miramax, who was sold off by Disney in 2010, and included all of Miramax's library of movies.

''The Rise of Darkrai'' was distributed by '''Network''', a company who are known for releasing old British TV shows onto home media. They had plans to release other Pokemon material and even had a dedicated section to the franchise on their website.

The eleventh through fifteenth films were distributed by '''Universal Studios Home Entertainment UK'''.

As of 2016, '''Manga Entertainment''' distributes the Anime on DVD and Blu-Ray, and own the rights to all seasons of the show, and all the movies apart from the ones that Miramax own.

==Pokémon manga==
[[Pokémon manga]] licensed and translated into English is distributed in the United Kingdom by [[VIZ Media]], including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is sold throughout the United Kingdom, with released matching those in {{pmin|the United States}}.

When it was first released, the game was very popular among UK children. Like in many other countries, the TCG was eventually banned in most schools, because of "classroom distraction". Conflict between students regarding Trading Cards also resulted in the cards being banned from some schools. Its popularity faded out as it was replaced by other popular crazes such as {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh! cards}}, although it has seen a resurgence in recent years.

In 2020, the {{tcg|Pokémon Futsal Collection}} was exclusively released in England.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Official Pokémon Magazine.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Cover artwork of the first issue of the 2013 [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] available in the UK]]
{{bulbanews/2|Official Pokémon Magazine to launch in UK|Fan sets Pokémon collection world record}}
The United Kingdom receives some of the same [[Pokémon merchandise]] that is available in {{pmin|the United States}}, such as plush toys which have been released in major department chains, though merchandise given away in fast food restaurants has become non-existent, as the [[Pokémon movie]]s are no longer shown at cinemas. Some collectibles, such as the [[Pokémon Advanced Action Cards]], were sold in the UK and Europe but not in North America. Despite Pokémon's decline in popularity, merchandise can be found in UK stores, such as {{wp|Game (retailer)|GAME}} and {{wp|W H Smith}}.

A [[Pokémon Daily Express CD-ROM|promotional CD-ROM]] was released in the UK newspaper Daily Express in 2001. When played in a CD player, it would play a sample of the song {{so|Gotta Catch 'Em All}} by 50.Grind. When played in a computer, additional features could be accessed, such as desktop wallpapers, the music video to Gotta Catch 'Em All, and other content.

A [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] was started up in 2004 in the United Kingdom. It was intended to have a quarterly release schedule, but it was cancelled after its second issue due to low sales. In February 2013, it was announced by Future Publishing that the Pokémon Official Magazine would be returning to the UK, with a publishing schedule of 13 issues per year. However, this was also soon cancelled after publishing 13 issues. A third Pokémon Official Magazine started on 29 March 2017. [[Pocket World]] magazine was also published in the United Kingdom, although it does not exclusively cover Pokémon, being made up of several other franchises that involve 'cartoon brands staring monsters' (such as {{wp|Moshi Monsters}}, {{wp|Bakugan}} and {{wp|Redakai}}).

A UK Pokémon fan, [[Lisa Courtney]], holds the {{wp|Guiness World Record}} for having the largest Pokémon memorabilia.<ref>[http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-collection-of-pokemon-memorabilia ''The largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia'' - Guinness World Records]</ref>

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United States|United States of America}}''' in 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Most English translations of Pokémon media, as well as original English-language media such as ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.

==Pokémon games==
Most [[Pokémon games]] released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions, such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games]]. All English-language games are exported to {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Australia}}, and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as {{pmin|Latin America}} and {{pmin|Brazil}}). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well. Nintendo of America, [[Nintendo]]'s subsidiary in the United States, sometimes publishes Pokémon and Pokémon-related video games, but they handle the local distribution of all Pokémon video games available on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo of America is a major partner to [[The Pokémon Company International]]. With very few exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, almost all Pokémon, character and location names are fully localized in the English language, and are referred to as such in English-language media including Bulbapedia itself.

All Pokémon games released on the Switch since [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] has bilingual (English/Spanish) packaging for its standard versions.

==Pokémon anime and movies==
The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted in {{wp|Broadcast syndication|syndication}} in the United States on September 7, 1998<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000425180626/http://toonzone.net/brian/eplists/pokemon.html ''Pokémon'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original April 25, 2000; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> with the sneak preview debut of ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', which helped launch Pokémon into a nationwide phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. All English-language dubs of the Pokémon anime were produced in the United States, first by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Other animated productions, such as [[Pokémon Origins]] and [[Pokémon Generations]], are also dubbed in English in the United States either via TPCI or other studios. The live-action film ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' is a primarily American production.

While the [[Pokémon movie]]s are regularly released theatrically in Japan, only movies [[M01|one]] through [[M05|five]], the [[M13|13th movie]], the Zekrom variant of the [[M14|14th movie]], the [[M20|20th movie]], and the [[M21|21st movie]] (along with [[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Pokémon Detective Pikachu]]) have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television and released straight to video, DVD, or streaming.

===Kids' WB===
[[File:Kids WB logo.png|thumb|125px|Kids' WB logo used from 1997-2008]]
[[Warner Bros.#Kids' WB|Kids' WB]] (sometimes styled as Kids WB!) was an American children's television programming block and brand owned by {{wp|Warner Bros. Television}} that first aired on September 9, 1995, on {{wp|The WB|The WB Television Network}}.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-22-tv-59667-story.html ''WB Raises the Animation Ante'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> On January 24, 2006 it was announced The WB and {{wp|CBS Corporation}}'s {{wp|UPN}} would merge to create {{wp|The CW}}.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/business/media/upn-and-wb-to-combine-forming-new-tv-network.html ''UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network'' - New York Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> When The WB closed on September 17 that year, the block moved to the new channel and it ran there from September 23, 2006 to May 17, 2008, at which time {{wp|Toonzai|The CW4Kids}} was launched to replace it. Kids' WB lived on as the name of a streaming service, until a rebranding on May 17, 2015.

After initially running in syndication for 43 episodes, the Pokémon anime moved to Kids' WB starting with ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' on February 13, 1999. The show proved to be a hit<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/05/06/pokemon-takes-em-all-show-posts-record-high-40-share-in-boys-6-11 ''Pokemon Takes 'Em All!'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>, and the block aired every (non-[[Banned episodes|banned]]) episode of the anime until the end of [[S08|season eight]]. During this time, [[Warner Bros.#Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros. Pictures]] also released the first three Pokémon movies in theatres (and later on home video) under the Kids' WB banner<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/11/10/first-day-of-release-of-pokemon-the-first-movie-buoyed-by-huge ''First Day of Release of Pokémon The First Movie Buoyed by Huge Showing of Kids'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/2000/03/02/kids-wb-presents-pokemon-the-movie-2000-opening-july-21 ''Kids WB!

From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB's weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB''.

On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary]] special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), rather than [[4Kids Entertainment]], and the only such episode that would air on Kids' WB.

In 2006 it was announced that Kids WB would no longer be airing non-Warner Bros. shows. The Pokémon anime moved to [[Cartoon Network]] (then owned by {{wp|Turner Broadcasting System}}, a separate and now defunct division of parent company WarnerMedia), beginning on September 8, 2006<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061004132738/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=12209 ''Press Release: New Season of "Pokémon" to Air Exclusively on Cartoon Network'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 4, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref name="KWBmove">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071017000426/http://toonzone.net/schedule/episode.php?ID=7209 ''Pokémon - Fear Factor Phony'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 17, 2007; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

===Cartoon Network===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|200px|Cartoon Network logo since May 29, 2010]]
{{main|Cartoon Network}}
Cartoon Network is an American children's television network that was launched on October 1, 1992<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140204051028/https://articles.philly.com/1992-10-04/entertainment/25997256_1_betty-cohen-new-channels-cartoon-network ''That's All Cartoons, Folks - 24 Hours Daily'' - The Philadelphia Inquirer] (archived from the original February 4, 2014; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> after Turner Broadcasting System purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera}}. Since its establishment, {{wp|List of international Cartoon Network channels|international variants}} of the channel have launched around the world. Since March 4, 2019, Cartoon Network has been part of ''Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics'', a division of [[Warner Bros.]]<ref>[https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/warner-bros-cartoon-network-hanna-barbera-1203154521/ ''Warner Bros. Wants to Rev Up Kid’s Content With Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera'' - Variety] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>

Cartoon Network first aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] in the United States from June 3<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060619012012/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=10553 ''Cartoon Network Acquires "Pokemon" Series for June 3 Premiere'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original June 19, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> to November 25, 2006, during its {{wp|Toonami}} block. Following the anime being dropped by Kids' WB, [[S09|Season nine]] premiered on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2006<ref name="KWBmove"/>. Cartoon Network had previously aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as [[S05|season five]], and almost every episode through [[S19|season 19]] aired on the channel at some point. On their website, Cartoon Network featured several [[Cartoon Network online games|online games]] featuring Pokémon characters.

Cartoon Network sparked controversy through its practice of replacing end credit sequences with their own generic ones. For the airing of movies this meant that epilogues were often skipped, and for the first airing of the [[M13|13th movie]] several scenes were omitted<ref>{{n|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut|''TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The show stayed with the network until the end of [[S19|season 19]] and on December 5, 2016, moved to [[Disney XD]].
[[File:Boomerang 2015.png|thumb|150px|Boomerang logo since January 19, 2015]]

====Boomerang====
:''Boomerang redirects here. For the move known as Bone Boomerang in Japanese, see [[Bonemerang (move)]].''
{{wp|Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang}} is a cable network owned by Warner Bros., operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang was launched as a block on Cartoon Network on December 8, 1992, shortly after the launch of the channel, and it was later spun off as its own network on April 1, 2000<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-01-ca-14752-story.html ''Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Return on New Boomerang'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

Boomerang first started airing episodes of [[S01|season one]] the Pokémon anime in 2006, and again in March of 2010. As of October 2012, the channel had aired episodes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' and prior to 2017, episodes were aired at 6 and 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (5 and 5:30 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) on weekdays. During the anime's time on the network, Boomerang aired the [[banned episodes|banned]] episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.

Pokémon anime reruns left the channel when the series left Cartoon Network for Disney XD, in February 2017.

====Toonami Jetstream====
[[File:Toonami Jetstream Logo.png|thumb|200px|Toonami Jetstream logo]]
Toonami Jetstream was an ad-supported streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service run as a partnership between Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] between July 17, 2006 and January 30, 2009<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-01-31/toonami-jetstream-video-streaming-service-shuts-down ''Toonami Jetstream Video-Streaming Service Shuts Down'' - Anime News Network] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>{{n|Toonami Jetstream closes its doors|''Toonami Jetstream closes its doors'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The [[S03|third season]] of the Pokémon anime debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the ''Johto Journeys'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' (as the service followed TV broadcast order), and finishing with ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' on October 1, 2007. [[Pokémon Chronicles]] also debuted on Jetstream on October 9, 2006, beginning with part one of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' and finishing with ''[[Pikachu's Winter Vacation]]'' (the ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]/[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'' combined episode) on March 5, 2007.

[[S04|Season four]] debuted on May 28, 2007 under the ''Johto League Champions'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and finishing with ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' on May 27, 2008. [[S05|Season five]] made its way to the service on June 16, 2008 under the ''Master Quest'' banner, starting with ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' and ending with ''[[240|Some Like It Hot]]'' on January 13, 2009.

[[S09|Season nine]] debuted on the service on November 17, 2008 under the ''Battle Frontier'' banner, starting with ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' and ending with ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' on January 13, 2009.

Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, which in most cases meant the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows, new Pokémon episodes in then-current seasons debuted every week and remained available for six weeks after they debuted on the service. The service also offered short previews of the movies ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' prior to their television debuts.

To celebrate the 2007 release of [[Pokémon Snap]] on the [[Virtual Console]], [[Pokémon.com]] announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] would be offered for one week later in December<ref>{{n|Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel|''Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. The plan was later modified in favour of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal ''Johto League Champions'' progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 22 and 28, 2008. The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes were the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appeared to align with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap the character's surname when Pokémon Snap was announced for the Virtual Console.

On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows, which for the Pokémon anime only included episodes from season five. On January 30, 2009, the service shut down completely, and on May 15, 2009, the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video.

====Cartoon Network Video====
[[File:Cartoon Network Video Logo.png|thumb|200px|Former Cartoon Network Video logo]]
Cartoon Network Video is a streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service owned and operated by Cartoon Network that is available via their website or apps. The service launched on September 22, 2006 and was originally a sister service to Toonami Jetstream. It became Cartoon Network's only VOD service upon Jetsteam's shutdown on January 30, 2009.

On May 15, 2009, [[S12|season 12]] of the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video beginning with ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' and ending with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' on May 17, 2010. On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons (including the entirety of [[S02|season two]]) were made available on the service.

On February 1, 2010, one episode from [[S03|season three]] (''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'') was added to the service. However, this addition may have been in error, as the episode was removed a few days later. Two months later, the entire third season was re-added but the episodes were not working for many users and they were once again taken down the following month.

Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in which case the debut was often on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). Episodes were made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remained on the service for two weeks. However, in subsequent years episodes were uploaded later than previously and remained available for only one week.

After a October 2009 revamp, the service began using a {{wp|16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 widescreen}} video player. Content originally produced in 16:9, including all anime episodes starting with ''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'', were shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio the episode was aired in on the Cartoon Network channel, but content originally produced in {{wp|4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 fullscreen}}, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, were stretched to fill the frame.

As with Toonami Jetstream, the Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in were the ones used on Cartoon Network Video. Additionally, episodes that involved the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way used the theme music from the televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} was first used on ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

===Disney XD===
[[File:Disney XD Logo.png|thumb|200px|Disney XD logo since 2015]]

==Pokémon manga==
[[VIZ Media]], based out of {{wp|San Francisco}}, {{wp|California}}, has licensed and translated several [[Pokémon manga]] titles in the United States, including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], movie manga adaptations, and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
An English-language translation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has been sold in the United States since the release of [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by [[Hasbro]]. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to [[Jakks Pacific]], which produced their own merchandise as well. In January 2013, merchandise rights were given to [[Takara Tomy]] and largely imported from Japan. Unlike other Pokémon merchandise in the US, Tomy's merchandise has multilingual packaging shared with Europe that features seven Western languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), including localized Pokémon and character names where applicable. As of 2018, Wicked Cool Toys now handles the merchandise.

The United States is home to the only North American {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores, with one store operating in {{wp|New York City}}, {{wp|New York}} (now {{DL|Pokémon Center (store)|New York (Nintendo New York)|Nintendo New York}}) and two mall kiosks in {{wp|Washington (state)|Washington state}}. The Pokémon Center online store also currently only ships to the United States.


==Events==
{{bulbanews/4|Pokémon Rocks America 2005 dates and locations revealed|Americans to get chance to obtain Celebi|Pokémon anniversary party to be held in New York|U.S. Black and White promotional tour announced}}
Several promotional events have been held in the United States for Pokémon video games and other media. Many of these events included playable game demos, distribution of [[event Pokémon]], and other incentives such as promotional cards from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

Promotional tours include the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Tour]], [[Pokémon Rocks America]], [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America]], and the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour]].

The [[World Championships]] have been held by [[Play! Pokémon]] (formerly Pokémon Organized Play) annually in the United States since 2004. So far, only one World Championship has been held outside of the United States, which was the [[2013 World Championships]] in Vancouver, British Columbia, {{pmin|Canada}}.

The [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]] series of concerts has been touring the United States since 2014. The United States was the first country the concerts appeared in.

GrammarFreak01: /* Lana's hints */

{{ship}}
----
[[File:SM005.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Lana hanging out in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'']]
'''BlueAngelShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトレン''' ''SatoRen'') is the belief that [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{an|Lana}} belong in a romantic relationship.

==Anime evidence==
===Lana's hints===
* ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''
: When Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are startled by the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Bruxish}}, Lana proceeds to laugh a bit at them. Then again, Ash did humiliate himself.
* ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]''
: When [[Harper and Sarah]] ask Lana if Ash is her boyfriend, Lana's entire face turns a bright red. This might be out of embarrassment, though.
* ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]''
: When Popplio and {{AP|Rowlet}} both go missing, Lana grabs Ash's arm and drags him alongside her to chase after them.
* ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]''
: When [[Olivia]] bumps into Ash and Lana as the two are heading to the site of the [[Totem Pokémon]], she proceeds to ask them if they're on some sort of date. Lana's face proceeds to turn a bright red. This might be out of embarrassment, though.
* ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]''
: Ash's encouragement to Lana about mastering a [[Z-Move]] makes her perk up.
* [[SM064]]
: Lana is the first person to support Ash's idea of disguising himself as a {{p|Passimian}}.

===Ash's hints===
* ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''
: After Ash falls off his {{p|Sharpedo}}, Lana giggles. When Ash comes up, he blushes momentarily before laughing himself. This may be out of embarrassment, though.
* ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]''
: When Lana does the Water-type Z-Move pose as they're leaving school, Ash gives her a compliment that it looks nice.
* ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]''
: After Lana puts on her [[Z-Ring]] and [[Waterium Z]], Ash says it looks great on her.

===Other hints===
* [[SM064]]
: Ash and Lana were playing a game of catch together with Rowlet.
* ''[[SM071|Dewpider Ascending!]]''
: Ash and Lana were hanging out together at the beach before the {{p|Dewpider}} appeared.

==Similarities==
* Both have a deep love for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Names origin==
*''BlueAngel'' is derived from the idea that Lana is pure and beautiful like an angel, and the fact that she has blue hair. The name was chosen by a poll against one other option, BlueBeltShipping.

what needs to be changed is electric needs to be taken out of tentacool's weakness column and put in the regular effect column. if someone can tell me how to do that then that will be nice thanks again.

== Romanization ==
I'm not entirely fond of how Bulbapedia handles their Japanese names for things, primarily how we use the trademarked name and completely ignore the rōmaji. Yes, I think it's important to have the trademarked Japanese names, but I think it's also equally important to have the bare rōmaji, too. I think it would be effective to use the <nowiki>{{tt}}</nowiki> template around the Japanese text itself to show the rōmaji alongside the trademarked name. For example, it would look like this: {{tt|ラルトス|Rarutosu}} ''Ralts'' or {{tt|カメックス|Kamekkusu}} ''Kamex''. Would anyone object to me going around and doing this?

It seems people have forgotten that this site is, above all else, an ''encyclopedia''. I've seen some wikis have speculative articles and then have some tag at the top of the page saying "This is unconfirmed, yada yada yada." That's extremely unprofessional, and it makes way for a truck load of spam articles under the guise of being "unconfirmed". A good wiki, Bulbapedia included, uses the agenda of official confirmation being ''absolutely crucial''. As much as it may seem, at the current moment, that these three Pokémon and the Mega-Eons are as real as real can get, leaked information is the exact opposite of confirmed information. Even Serebii's no fool. He's not going around asserting that everything he finds is fact. As Nate even said, the words "Do note, these are still unconfirmed" are used on his site. Besides, it's god-honestly better to ''not'' have the information until it's confirmed than to have guesswork that turns out to be wrong.

While the chance is there that they could be fake ([http://pokejungle.net/2013/10/31/rumour-legends-leaked-by-hacking/ this page even says so]), the fact that this person was able to cause the three legendaries to appear in one of the early Routes pretty much confirms they are real. If those are Photoshopped images, they're pretty good. Additionally, seeing them on the GTS and not filtered out as gibberish also confirms that they are real. The person writing the linked blog, as well, noted that he tried to encounter Pokémon #722 (meaning these came from 719-721) and the result was a Bad Egg, meaning there is nothing programmed after 721 and that is the end of the current Pokédex.

We ought to acknowledge this information. People have tested and confirmed that the data is there. Serebii even briefly had pages for the trio (since taken down, someone put up a screenshot of the three screengrabs as an image). Nintendo just hasn't released the info because they want to leave something for future announcements and events. Since they're already in the game, other than patching to get rid of them, Nintendo can't do much now to change it (and then what will they use for later games, and who says we have to use the patch? I mean, they can't get rid of this data in the games now!). Therefore, they exist, they just haven't been announced. Pages ought to be created even if they are tagged as unconfirmed Pokémon.

:If you had been paying attention, no one is immediately saying they're faked or photoshopped. But what we ''are'' saying is they may very well be dummied out content. And again, as far as a wiki is concerned, if information is not 100% confirmed, it might as well be 100% fake. Bulbapedia has a reputation to keep, and if things that end up being utter bull get articles only for us to find out the truth later, how will that make the site look? And even if they are really there, they ''can'' indeed be patched out. That's what patches do.

If Nintendo patches them out after this independent crusade (for lack of a better word), then the article could be about what the names of the Pokémon would have been and were changed due to a hacker. A hacker causing Nintendo to change plans is notable. So one way or another, whether now or after news comes of a new patch that removes the names (impossible on the GTS though unless they close it briefly and remove all requests), an article will exist somewhere on either the Pokémon or the schematics surrounding them being changed (even when the trio does eventually come out with similar types and the would-be names are matched up). I still see no problem with very brief and locked pieces on the three and what has been discovered, with a byline at the top saying the information is unconfirmed.

:::::::::''The bottom line is if we can't replicate the results to verify, a random on the internet is nothing more than a dubious source.''
:::::::::That's funny. Someone earlier said that the reason the article doesn't exist is because Nintendo hasn't announced it. However, Nintendo hadn't announced Keldeo, Meloetta, or Genesect and those articles came up with "multiple independent sources".
:::::::::We now have "multiple independent sources" confirming these three new Pokémon showing up as valid in the GTS by people requesting other than themselves, which is backed up by hacked data confirming their existance and with images (though again, I prefer video). Sersbii had pages up brifly, since taken down. This is exactly the scenario we had with the Unova group, just not as many sources. Yet now the rules are different because it's more convenient to wait for Nintendo to announce it before putting pages up.
:::::::::We need to stop changing the rules in convenient ways for a situation and just report what people have found out already. Wikipedia uses references as a method of sourcing ANY information. We have several sources, even if one main one is a blog and others are forums. That's enough for me for a video game (we're not sourcing nuclear fission or anything like that). If it turns out not to be real, we correct it. That's what a Wiki does. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
::::::::::You're wrong with the part about "exactly the same scenario". As already said above, the key difference is being able to replicate the results; that is, unlike with DS games, the encryption for 3DS games is still yet to be broken so data mining is outright impossible. You can't make a ROM dump out of your X or Y game card, break in, and check the Pokémon specification data structures yourself. Instead, for anything other than the names, you need to rely on and believe the authenticity of the few still images by one community member. For the same reasons, we're still missing various things like complete movesets for many Pokémon, all up-to-date data for yet unavailable Gen I to Gen V Pokémon, and so on.
::::::::::Don't get me wrong, I personally don't have any objections for adding the trio into the wiki, but it seems that for now the only thing that can be proven with certainty is that the three names exist and are recognized by GTS as valid ones. That doesn't really yield good, comprehensive pages at this moment, so I understand why they're quite unwanted for now.

:The difference is that even if Darkrai, etc had been dummied out, we could hack the game so we still knew all of its data. We can't hack the 3DS, so none of the leaks about these three (except for their names on the GTS) are verifiable.

There's literally nothing we can say in good conscience except "these are their names," whereas in the past, we could hack the game and reliably report every single piece of data for event-exclusives on the DS and prior systems.

Whilst I completely understand that Volcanion and Hoopa remain unofficial, and whilst I agree that we should not pass them of as we would any other Pokémon due to the insufficient amount of data that has been able to be retrieved from the X and Y games, would it not be reasonable to have maybe a single article on both, and possibly the now-confirmed Diancie as well, stating that their names are recognised by the GTS, and that they have therefore been coded into the games in one way or another. Obviously we cannot pass off much other information about them, as there is very little of it that can truly be confirmed as official, however, a single short mention that the names of the Pokémon are coded into the games should suffice for the article. The names exist in the GTS without a doubt, in fact, that was how I first found out about them very early in the game when I went on to the GTS and saw someone requesting a Hoopa. The way I look at it, whether or not they are patched out of the game, never used/talked about again, swept under the carpet by Nintendo, or released as official Pokémon, we will eventually end up with an article about them, will we not? We currently have articles for unused prototype Pokémon such as Honōguma, Buhi, and Kurusu, and on backsprites for the early Shellos and Gastrodon from the coding of Ruby and Sapphire. Hoopa and Volcanion will essentially end up with their own pages, on a new page for patched out Pokémon, or on the page for prototype Pokémon. So, as little confirmed information on them as there is, surely it's noteworthy enough to at least acknwoledge them as sort-of-maybe-Pokémon-to-be that we know officially a little bit about, after all the GTS does recognise them as something, and if the GTS acknowledges them, then why shouldn't we? I understand that we know little about them, and the last thing I want to do is fuel a massive debate, but I think they at least deserve a little mention, no matter how ambiguous, somewhere rather than "What Pokémon? Huh? Who? Where? There's no Pokémon here!".--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 01:55, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Here is how things have been sorted: Diancie has an article, Mega Latios and Mega Latias have the information on several articles, Vivillon forms have been distributed, Floette is AZ's, Arceus can be transfered to Gen VI, and nothing for Hoopa and Volcanion.

However, the article has not currently be created at this point in time, so I do not believe I can recommend that action. Regardless of not being able to help, I hope that this somehow explains why we are not making that many references to them or their moves. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 03:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

== Editing of [[Headbutt (move)|Headbutt]] ==

Basically, I just went to add that Bibarel is confirmed to learn the move at Lv.18 (no idea about the pre-evo yet, but I trust it's also the same). It seems that I am unable to save edits to that page. Do we know what is causing this? I just edited [[Acupressure (move)|Acupressure]] without a problem a few minutes ago. Meanwhile, I tried the chat room, but it's more interested in a bot trivia game (now over 1,300 questions in!) and the other official channel is - well - dead. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:40, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
:I tried to edit it and it didn't go through. Maybe it's the amount of templates on the page? It's the only thing that really sets apart enough from other moves for it to be the only one to be uneditable. I'll see if someone can figure it out. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 20:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
::Well, if any of them are complete, some could perhaps be converted to generic tables and left in like that (if they get vandalized, they can easily be restored). That might help with that issue.

:::Pages with lots of code transcluded to them, such as the code used in the template, exceed the maximum amount of code able to be used on a MediaWiki page. This limit is unable to be changed. The Headbutt page seems to be just before that limit. The page can be saved, it just takes a huge amount of time and a few attempts. But, any longer, and parts of the page will seemingly go missing, starting from the bottom up. We had a similarly large page on Wikisimpsons. We ended up needing to split the page up into several pages as huge tables of information just vanished. That might have to be done here too. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 20:48, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
::::If you'd like, I can take a look at it between assigning moves. I think provided the main page has the same types of data as the rest of the moves, it should be easy to move other data to a secondary page that doesn't need much editing. Also, if I cut the information off the existing one and save, I should have no problem saving less data.
::::With that said, if you'd rather do it later, understood. But it keeps me and others from adding data to it until it's done, hence why I'd like to look at it. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:53, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

(Indent reset, any replies to the above can continue there, this is a separate segment.)

I have copied from [[Headbutt (move)|Headbutt]] the data that I think can be removed from the page. What I will suggest is taking this off the page and having it linked separately on the page. This will bring the page data down to a more useable level that saving issues will hopefully be reduced. The current location of the copied data is [[User:CycloneGU/Headbutt|in my userspace]]. I'm open to working on the piece there and then moving it to the article space when it's ready for inclusion as a separate page. Or we can move it immediately and work on it already linked from the main page. What do you folks think? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:03, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
:I think wait for input from admins before anything major is done to the page.

::This is why I have already copied the data separately to my userspace. That way an admin. can move it to an appropriate title, the data removed from [[Headbutt (move)|Headbutt]], and the link made between the articles. I agree, this issue was encountered six or seven months ago by someone on that talk page, and we can't deal with this over and over. We might even need to reduce the size of some of the lists at the bottom of the page by indicating all Pokémon in the previous list are also on the following list, and just not list them; however, that is a more drastic change I won't explore at this time. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
::I just had a separate afterthought as well (hence the almost immediate new edit, this is not a preview issue). The list of Pokémon learning the move by TM can be included on the second article.

[[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:12, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
::(Addendum) I have copied the TM information to my userspace. Again, no edits have been made to the main page yet, and I'd like to help work on a separate article regarding Headbutt and the mechanics as used in Generations II and IV in G/S/C/HG/SS (hence why it's in my userspace right now, but I'm open to it being moved to the main space if admins. approve the idea). The obvious alternative is to not be able to edit the main page or have data go missing; this at least preserves the data. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
:::For the record, I think it would be more appropriate to move the lists of Pokemon that can be found via Headbutt.

[[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:34, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
::::For the sake of full disclosure, I also [[User talk:Force Fire#Headbutt|brought this up]] with one of the admins. personally. Because Headbutt was only a TM in Generation II (replacing [[Razor Wind (move)|Razor Wind]] but since becoming [[Dragon Claw (move)|Dragon Claw]] in Gen. III, which has not changed since), and was likely made such for the specific reason of allowing players to buy the TM for repeated use teaching Pokémon the move to attack random trees, I have made the recommendation that the TM move data be placed there for that reason. I've provided additional points at the linked location.
::::The TM section alone is 11,000 bytes of data, and with the page causing problems due to being so large, any space we can get would be useful at this point. If it is deemed after staff discussion that it should stay there, I would recommend putting the data on a page by itself and transcluding the data to the page. This could technically be done on both pages, in fact, since the data specifically applies to that game where the mechanic occurs. That way, the string putting the data on one or both pages is a simple string, and the data is its own page.
::::For examples of how transclusion works, head over to Wikipedia and see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_NHL_season 2013-14 NHL season], specifically under Standings. All four charts there are located on other pages and edited on those pages due to the daily updating on each compared to the article itself. This way, people editing the standings and people editing the rest of the article aren't running into constant edit conflicts. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
::::UPDATE: Again, for full disclosure, see [[User:CycloneGU/Headbutt]] for how I'm proposing to reclaim the space on the page. I don't know if this is ideal for the staff, but the data I am recommending to transclude in this case should never have to be edited again, so the data page can be locked and the importing line in the article commented above and below warning not to modify that line. Of course, the data page would be moved first, hence why it's still a proposal. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:31, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

:::::::It certainly can be edited now, because my edit moving the wild Pokémon lists off the page went through.

== Wild Hold Items ==

I've been a member for about ten minutes and I probably have no chance of anyone seeing this... but how about a page that states the Pokemon that hold certain items in the wild including the item and the hold percentage. Possibly even moves or abilities that change the item's effect or position like unnerve or thief. I'm not sure but I think it'd be helpful. {{unsigned|8BitRevenge}}
:Actually, this is already done. On sections for items, if a wild Pokemon holds it in the wild in a game it is found in, the game section for that item lists it. The same for a Pokemon's page (under the "Held items" section), although it is only on the Pokemon's page that the percentage for that item is listed.--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 03:37, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
::That list is [[List of Pokémon by wild held item|here]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:41, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

== Dream World Moves ==

This deserves attention. Dream World no longer needs its own section because, well, the Dream World is closing (at least in terms of naptime and usefulness) as of December 14. Additionally, we are updating Pokémon pages for Gen. VI now; since Dream World isn't there, we should not include it as a section.

With that taken into account, do we or do we not have a place to list moves that are learnable in an earlier generation? If so, all Dream World moves should be moved to that location. We can also update those lists to take into account moves learned via Move Tutor in prior generations, or learned via TMs that no longer exist. If a move can be learned by breeding, we don't even need to list the Dream World move; see [[Pawniard (Pokémon)|Pawniard]], whose moves [[Psycho Cut (move)|Psycho Cut]] and [[Sucker Punch (move)|Sucker Punch]] are learnable via breeding. However, in the case of [[Butterfree (Pokémon)|Butterfree]], we have [[Air Cutter (move)|Air Cutter]] and [[Roost (move)|Roost]] unlearnable via breeding since Caterpie cannot learn any moves through breeding itself, and thus those moves belong in that section on Butterfree's page (which I've started updating except for the DW section).

Thoughts? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:05, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
:They're already on the "Generation V learnset" subpages (here's {{DL|Butterfree (Pokémon)/Generation V learnset|Dream World moves|Butterfree's}}, for example). I think that's fine, isn't it?

== I have a question... ==

I've noticed that the facility trainers (in the Battle Frontier, Maison, Contests, etc.) have the same name/team/quotes. Since these trainers are recurring, is it important that we put them on the page for their respective locations? Just wondering. -- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 23:33, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
:I don't think they have the same teams (at least for battle facilities; contests might). There is a pool of Pokémon that each Trainer has their Pokémon randomly selected from. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:21, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

== Disambiguation pages format ==

I am pretty strongly of the opinion that most of the disambiguation pages are currently formatted badly. The numeric pages like [[046]] appear to have "good" formats, with the "disambiguated" links at the beginning; but it appears that just about all other disambiguation pages, like [[Aaron]], use a bad format, with the disambiguated links only appearing ''after'' the description.

It's hard to provide a concrete reason why this is "bad". One possible rationale is that, in many cases, an article title alone can be enough to know which article you want, and any description appearing before that link just gets in the way; by contrast, anyone who ''needs'' that description text is not at all inconvenienced if it appears after the link. Another possible rationale is simply that, without the disambiguated article title at the beginning, I simply have nothing concrete to link the description with initially, so it's just a little abstract...

It may be worth noting that Wikipedia's manual of style for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Disambiguation_pages#Individual_entries disambiguation pages] specifies that the (relevant) link should come first.

Mostly, though, I just ''know'' that, for example, the Metronome disambiguation page works better like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Metronome&oldid=2032134 this] than like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Metronome&oldid=2032138 this]. It always irritates me seeing the latter and having to navigate it...

Do others agree that the "disambiguated" links should be written first? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:29, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

While I was looking around on the site for something to improve, I discovered that Bulbapedia doesn't have a page for Style in Lumiose City. I would like to make this page, and I found another page on Serebii that seems to help. However, I don't want to just copy information. How should I handle this?

Also, should I just add this information to the page [[Lumiose City]] instead, once I get the information?

== Regarding APNG images ==

In using Bulbapedia as a reference for various Moves, I noticed you employ the APNG format, however many of the animations are unnecessarily large. I've personally spent quite a bit of time building and deconstructing APNGs in order to understand the format. I thought I'd start my contributions by providing and animated version of [[a:File:Reflect_III.png|Reflect]]. Before I upload it though, I'd like to confirm my suspicion that the existing animations are intentionally split with the first frame being midway through the loop so that APNG unaware browsers will still display a useful illustration of the move. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 06:21, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

== Version Exclusive Trainers ==

I apologize if this is not the correct area to talk about this. The character box for trainers is made up of several templates, which means there is not a core talk page for this to go to. After the debacle of exploring Mt. Mortar in Gold (gen II) with every possible resource online and through game play, I have come to the realization, unless I still have not explored well enough, that three out of the four trainers are more than likely version exclusive to Crystal version. That being said, there is not an area in the trainer box to show if certain trainers are version exclusive. Due to this, articles with trainer boxes which do not state the specifics of certain version exclusive trainers are misleading, which should be fixed. That being said, I do not know exactly how many trainers are version exclusive, and I am aware that determining that would take a lot of time. One may say that due to it costing a lot of time to calculate the above, as well as it being so specific, that it doesn't matter. I wish to know the opinions of others to see if this is necessary...not just for my sake, but for any other viewer using Bulbapedia for information about locations and the trainers within them. [[User:Qj|Qj]] ([[User talk:Qj|talk]]) 02:30, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
:(Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I remember my old VersusBooks guide from my childhood mentioning that the Trainers were new to Crystal. So I'm pretty sure you're right.) I wouldn't think it's necessary to change the templates. I think we should just be able to use separate section headers (i.e., it's "Generation II" now, so we could add a subheader under it for "Crystal only"). As for the time necessary, that may be an obstacle, but no logistical obstacle should be considered large enough to make us not even ''try'' to compile correct information. If we try and fail, sure, and the topic will almost certainly attract very little attention, but giving up before the start seems defeatist. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:17, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
::Just so you know, a good amount of pages already have version exclusives separated (for example: {{rt|115|Hoenn}} has the trainers separated between Ruby and Sapphire (where all the trainers are pretty much the same) and Emerald, with trainers who have differences being marked off. It's the same with Generation IV Routes like ({{rt|212|Sinnoh}})). If any Routes aren't marked with version exclusive trainers it was either done by someone with one game assuming they all have the same trainers, or don't have version exclusives. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 05:46, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
:::Thank you for the clarification on the issue. I would have seen the separation, but the articles I visited had none of the separation you talked about above. I hope that editors willing to make edits to trainer boxes in the future will first make sure their information spans through all games of the generation in question, as to prevent future misunderstandings for all future viewers.

== Blaziken Mask/Meyer ==

All right, so the episode that reveals the fact that these are the same character just so happened to air this morning. There is no more spoiler for North America, only for those who haven't seen the episode. As I don't believe it's natural to try to prevent spoilers five years down the line (hey, I only started watching the anime a couple of years or so ago), I think it's time that the two pages be merged. This has been brought up at {{red link|Talk:Blaziken Mask|Blaziken Mask's talk page}} and eventually [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABlaziken_Mask&diff=2035685&oldid=2031839 confirmed] by [[User:Blazingfist|Blazingfist]] there, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Blaziken_Mask&diff=next&oldid=2035685 another opinion given for a merge], and even [[Talk:Meyer|Meyer's talk page]] was [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Meyer&oldid=2075735 created] with a note that it should be the new home of the [[Blaziken Mask]] information.

I first commented on [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMeyer&diff=2090589&oldid=2089765 March 17] (actually evening of March 16 for me) also noting we need to make the move within a week. No response followed until [[User:Mkbw50|Mkbw50]] suggested [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMeyer&diff=2092108&oldid=2090589 continuing use of spoiler tags] on the merged page; I disagree with this myself since it's known they are the same character now. Blazingfist and myself have since [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMeyer&diff=2092827&oldid=2092108 commented further], but I decided it was time to bring more visibility to this and get more editor opinion on this.

So...it's time to merge [[Meyer]] and [[Blaziken Mask]]. They are the same character; continuing to keep the pages separated implies they are different people, which would not be prudent for us to do. Let's discuss a merge.

A lot of people seem to be unclear on this scince Ive seen comments of people on other Talk pages not being sure. I'm just gonna go ahead with (slowly but surely) recounting Johto, Kanto and possibly Sinnoh's cities and towns, including Pokemon Centre's Marts, and Gates. I'm ignoring Hoenn because that will change in OR/AS anyways and ignoring Unova because I dont know what Castelia City/Nimbasa City people were counted and which werent. And I dont have X/Y yet so cant count Kalos. Also, the older regions have been here a while, so checking stuff for them might have slowed down too.

== Filter Problem ==

I'm having an issue where, on a lot of pages, pressing the move-sorting filter will arrange the moves in an order for a different category. Instead of categorising moves by Type after pressing the arrow next to the "Type" heading, for example, the moves will be sorted in order of highest to lowest Accuracy. On the pages where this happens, it always categorises moves according to the fourth filter to the right. Pressing "Category" should order moves depending on whether they're physical, special, or status, but instead it goes in PP order. The "Power" filter sorts moves into an order depending on their Contest category, the "Accuracy" filter orders them by their Contest Appeal, and the "PP" filter orders them by their Contest Jamming level. This could just be my computer spazzing out, but it happens for me on a lot of pages. Is this a site bug? ''' ''Scribbl'' ''' 09:40, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

== Change "Start" and "--" for level up move levels ==

We should change all occurrences of "Start" in Pokemon level up tables (like [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)#By leveling up]]) and "--" in move level up tables (like [[Tackle (move)#By leveling up]]) to "1". Certainly for Generations IV+ at least; maybe for Generations I-III as well.

;WHY<nowiki>:</nowiki>

I bred myself a {{p|Pumpkaboo}} (so, it knew its three "Start" moves) and then traded it to myself through the GTS at level 1 and it evolved into {{p|Gourgeist}}. And after it evolved, it learned {{m|Explosion}} and then was asked to learn {{m|Phantom Force}}. Again: ''at level 1''.

Gourgeist's [[Gourgeist (Pokémon)#By leveling up|level up table]] says "Start" for Explosion and Phantom Force (and etc). (Likewise, in Explosion's [[Explosion (move)#By leveling up|level up table]], Gourgeist's row says "--, 75".) But if I can learn those moves at level 1, that field should ''say'' "1". If I can learn it at level 1, there's no good reason to say "Start" or "--" instead. If it ''doesn't'' say "1", that implies I ''can't'' learn it at level 1.

I also tested this same thing with a bred level 1 {{p|Slowpoke}} in Gen IV. I traded one each to Pearl and Platinum holding King's Rocks, and after they evolved, they learned {{m|Power Gem}} ([[Slowking (Pokémon)/Generation IV learnset|only in Platinum]]) and {{m|Hidden Power}}. So: again, these moves are plainly at level "1"; not "Start".

This isn't possible to test directly in Generations I-III, since none of those games [[Experience#Experience underflow glitch|have wild Pokemon at lv 1]] (and bred Pokemon start at level 5 instead of 1). I may (''maybe'') try to use some cheat codes/ROM editing to test the behavior, though.

;USE "1"

So. As I said at the start, we should change all "Start" and "--" to "1" for at least Generations IV-VI. I suppose it's kind of a moot point whether we also do that for Generations I-III since, as I also said, there's no natural way to evolve any Pokemon at level 1 in those games. But, if the game does treat those "Start" moves as learnable at level 1, then I tend to think we should use accurate terminology...

Of course, this is a big project. I'm sure staff want to at least approve it first. I don't know, maybe staff would even want to do it entirely by themselves. But, as much change as it may require, this is '''''absolutely''''' something that needs to be done. We cannot call "Start" and "--" 'good enough'. They are inaccurate, misleading; they're not even ''necessary'' if "1" is true. And it is. This needs to be changed.

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

: (WHY) Alright, this might be a bit of rambling, but this is what I have. While still being part speculation at this time, I believe the original intent was possibly to the term "Starting Moves" being shortened to the word "Start." The [[Move Reminder]] article mentions that one of the reason for wanting to learn a move with the Move Reminder is if "the species (has) more than four starting moves" and that Healing Wish is "one of Lopunny's starting moves." It seems that a move that can be learned at Level 1 is considered a "Start Move," whether it is an unofficial term, an official term, or a fan term. More evidence for this can be found with [[User:Mazion]] who [[Special:Contributions/Mazion|use the wording "starter move" several times]] and an issue involving [[Seaking_(Pokémon)#Trivia|Seaking "learning" Supersonic twice in Gen II]]. Additionally, [[Talk:Generation_IV_hybrid#.22Start.22_and_.22Level_1.22_moves...|the talk page for the Generation IV hybrids shows a conversation that associates "Start" with Level 1]]. Oddly, moves themselves never use the term "Start" and instead use "--" like on [[Reflect Type (move)]].
: (USE 1) I will note that since at least sometime around Generation IV, the template started to use the following note: 'A level of "Start" indicates a move that will be known by a Bulbasaur obtained at level 1 in Generation VI.' The reasoning behind having the note is speculation at this time, though it might have to do with attempting to explain what "Start" means. More, I would like to if the rambling I made earlier is the reasoning behind just not using Level 1. Either way, I am currently content with consistency in all pages.
: (I will note that Tiddlywinks and myself [[User talk:Super goku#Slowking Gen IV|had a small discussion on my talk page]] that highlights a few points as well. Basically on what [[Prima Games]] and Nintendo used in their Strategy guides and {{bp|Project Pokédex}}.)

::The discussion about the Gen IV hybrids seems much too specialized to be relevant (apparently they ''"level up to Level 1 twice"'').
::As far as the note that appeared around Gen IV, it's far from perfect in a couple ways. For one, the wording "obtained" doesn't entirely sound like it would apply to a Pokemon that evolved (like by trade or evo stone). And then, that note is just so very easy to miss or else forget. And at the same time: there's still just no need—at all—to use "Start" if "1" is true (in the process of leveling up/evolving at least). If "1" is true, "Start" is not in any way better than "1".

== What is the process for updating Game Sprite PNGs/images? ==

I've been using Bulbapedia to help me out as I play with the 3rd Generation Pokémon games (in my case: Sapphire, LeafGreen, FireRed, and Emerald). Recently, I decided to save some of the game sprites and I noticed that the R/S sprites for Jynx weren't consistent with one another. (R/S Normal Jynx had miscolored sprites and noticeable blank spots, mostly in the hands, compared the R/S Shiny Jynx.) Using Paint Shop Pro 9.01, I touched up the sprite, and kept the new image limited to the 15 (plus 1 transparent) colors used on the original image. This way, if someone were to ''manually'' change the palette colors to those of Shiny Jynx (after saving the PNG to their own computer, of course), they would now look indistinguishable. I then joined Bulbapedia so that I could submit my update for review.
That being said, what is the process for submitting a ''new'' image to be reviewed for possible replacement of an ''earlier'' submitted image? [[User:Cybertronian|Cybertronian]] ([[User talk:Cybertronian|talk]]) 04:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC).

== Gen1 sprite order on species pages ==

Is there any particular reason that the Gen1 species pages show the JBlue/Red/Blue sprites first, then Yellow, then Red/Green? Sprites from all other generations are listed by release order, with the "Red" of each pair when they don't use the same sprites. To keep things consistent, (and to easier display how they were changed over time), shouldn't they be ordered as Red/Green, JBlue/Red/Blue, Yellow? --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] ([[User talk:FortMax|talk]]) 01:19, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
:We're an English wiki. English content is our primary concern. That said, Japanese content may be significant as well, which would be why we do include the different R/G sprites; but it's firmly a secondary concern compared to the releases that most English-speakers will actually know.
:And it's not really relevant that everything else is listed in release order, when everything else didn't have the same divergence between what was released in Japanese and what was released in English. That inherently breaks down any such comparison. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
:As Tiddlywinks said, English content has priority. I don't think it'd hurt if the order were changed to place RG first though. Also, if I may, Red and Blue, from an official standpoint, are nothing more than the Western releases of the Japanese Red, Green, and Blue (Blue provides the engine, Red and Green the version-exclusive content). We really don't need the game articles split into RGB and RB as this distinction is more of a habit than anything else, not to mention that the relevant changes can be explained in detail on their respective articles (e.g.: [[in-game trade]]). But this is just my 2¢ and that's a topic for another date, I guess. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 01:58, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Should all the miscellaneous promos be in the '''Additional Cards''' section that is on the set's page (minus the jumbos imo) or are there special rules about what goes there? If not I'd love to edit the older sets and add them.

== Moving pages ==

I've noticed a few incidents in the last month or so relating to pages being moved, and just wanted to ask: why is moving pages not restricted to administrators? Do we have a good reason for that? Because it seems like page moves should be something that gets discussed rather than just being done. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
:I think just because you're not allowed to do things in some (or even in the majority of) cases, everyone shouldn't be restricted from doing things generally at all. I think TCG cards, for example, are meant to be qualified with the English expansion they first appeared in (such as [[Ninetales (Evolutions 15)]]), and that requires rather frequent page moves from their original Japanese that don't require that sort of discussion. (And, in general, I think there should be good reasons to restrict things, not to ''not'' restrict them.)

== Pokemon SMD info update on individual species pages ==
Hello, I've been viewing Bulbapedia for quite a while without editing. It's been a long time since PSMD was released, but there have been no additions of info on the individual Pokemon pages (location, quotes etc.) as has been done with PMD Red/Blue. I am willing to add this information, since I have collected all Pokemon in this game. However I am unsure which format I should use and what precautions should I take when doing so. Thank you. [[User:Remiccino|Remiccino]] ([[User talk:Remiccino|talk]]) 07:20, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
:Hello, nice to meet another editor keen to contribute to the MD games on this site! Firstly, what kind of information do you plan on collecting? For example, for most characters, their locations are less relevant as they are ''connected'' to instead of being ''recruited'', and the locations for most missions are semi-random. Pokémon no longer have quotes in dungeons (from memory), and recruitment rate, IQ, body size (beside normal vs Gigantic) no longer exist.
:Something that could be useful would be in regards to how to connect with them (currently the information is already on the [[Connection Orb]] page but would be useful on individual Pokémon pages as well) and having the new Pokémon portraits would also be useful (which another user is currently obtaining). (And if we look at Pinball example, there's really not much besides a portrait/image).
:However, you'll first need to make a new template for the SMD games much like this one [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Spindata/MDTDS]] before starting. Feel free to have a go at making a template - just make sure it's in the [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox]] (or on your userspace, but you'll need to make more edits before you can access that function).
:Sorry there are a few hoops you'll need to go through, but I hope I haven't turned you off editing here :) Also, this was a bit rushed so I hope it makes a bit of sense--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 07:57, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
::Hello, thank you very much for the info! I want to add portraits, how to connect with the Pokemon, and quotes. Yes, every Pokemon still has at least 2 dungeon quotes (the chance to trigger a quote is dramatically decreased so most people just assume they don't exist anymore), and some more unique overworld quotes for specific ones. Also, there is the information of what level the Pokemon starts at, what moves the Pokemon has by default etc. (like a Trainer's Pokemon), although it would not be very useful.
::As for the portraits, I currently have all of them extracted from the game, and if possible, I would like to help the other user in uploading them too. Every Pokemon has at least 3 portraits (normal, happy, hurt) and I wonder if it's good to include all of them.
::I tried to create a template and it ended up looking like this: [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Sandbox#Test_template_for_PSMD_data]].
::Again, thank you for the detailed instructions! I have had editing experiences in other wikis, and have followed Bulbapedia since the old DPPt days, so I completely respect the code of conduct here. Hope to be contributing soon. :) [[User:Remiccino|Remiccino]] ([[User talk:Remiccino|talk]]) 09:47, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
:::Thanks for making a draft template, though I don't think it'll need the Pokémon's moves because I'm fairly sure they're random (and also not that relevant). I think their level may be fixed, but then again I'm not sure how important it is. Also, the template will need to be approved by staff first.
:::Do you have a Discord account? If not, would you be able to make one (you could even join the [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Bulbagarden server] if you would like), and contact Lady Ariel#9665 on Discord. Lady Ariel (also a user here) has been the one doing most of the legwork for SMD here, so it would be good to get in contact (Lady Ariel will be offline atm though). Thanks!--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 10:03, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes, I have a Discord account (in fact I've been searching for the link to the server, haha) and I'll be sure to contact Lady Ariel! And yes I think it would be best to leave the template as it is. Thank you again for the assistance, I really appreciate it!

== Types of edits for auto-confirmation ==
Regarding the secret minimum amount of edits one must make in order to become auto-confirmed: do edits to talk pages (including this one) count towards this minimum, or must all of them be edits to article pages themselves (a.k.a. enyclopedic edits)? Because all edits I have done here that still stand today (that is, not reversed by an admin for whatever reason) are only talk-page edits, not article edits.

On the bug-catching contest, for Pokemon encounters post-national dex it says that the new pokemon only applies for thursday and saturday, and on tuesday the encounters are the same as pre-national dex encounters. this is wrong and i dont know the encounter rate and am new to bulbapedia so i cannot fix it. ( i know this is wrong because im playing on a tuesday and i have encountered several combee, wurmple etc. which are supposed to be exclusively for thursday and saturday contests).
If someone could fix this or show me how to fix it i would be most grateful :)

== Issue with Sword and Shield Type Effectiveness Charts ==

So I created an account to try and help with this, but I'm not sure if I'm entirely right on it. I noticed that when you go to some of the new Sword and Shield Pokemon pages, the type effectiveness chart says at the top "Under normal circumstances in Generation VII..." but isn't Sword and Shield generation VIII? It says so everywhere else on the page, just in that blurb above the type effectiveness it has incorrect numbering. This is on multiple pages, I just happened to notice it on Cursola and SirFetch'd's page. Maybe there's someone who can go back and double check this for all sword and shield exclusive listings because how would a Pokemon be under battle conditions in a generation it didn't exist? I also am not able to edit that portion of the page so maybe a mod/admin can do it if it is incorrect. {{unsigned|Silverx2624}}

EDIT: Seems someone saw this and it's been fixed (at least on the pages I looked at) thanks for being so swift mysterious person!

Hi, why can't I edit a discussion page?

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Ice_Scales_(Ability)

Initially I had made a discussion thread without a title (due to not seeing the nearly invisible + button to start a thread) and I want to remove that, since it's, well, not needed now. The problem is I can't since I keep getting the Vandal Filter 3 error.

From what I can gather this is some form of anti-editing feature which... begs the question why on earth does it even exist? [[User:Acumenium|Acumenium]] ([[User talk:Acumenium|talk]]) 21:55, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon pages with anime series sections ==

I've been discussing a bit with other admins the idea of listing anime series in the Pokémon species pages. For instance, editing {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Dunsparce}}, etc. and adding sections for anime series such as "Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl" or "Pokémon the Series: Black & White".

Human characters (such as {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}) often have sections such as "Pokémon the Series: Black & White" and so on. I think they would be helpful for Pokémon species as well, to provide context as to where they appear and to let us know how much they appear in each series. For longer anime sections, they would also provide section links to edit them easier.

Each series such as "Pokémon the Series: Black & White" is a separate anime on its own right, so I think it would be a good idea to have separate sections for them.

If a Pokémon appears a lot in multiple series (such as Ash's Pikachu), it can be listed at the top of the anime section, outside all series sections.

The anime lists of "major" and "minor" appearances are often definitely a mess. This is the case especially with some popular Pokémon such as {{p|Pichu}}, that have a big wall of text in their major / minor appearances sections. Are these appearances major for the series as a whole, or just major for this episode in particular? Some examples of minor and major appearances appear to be definitely interchangeable. For instance, some cases where a Pokémon simply battles in the current episode - this type of situation has often been listed as either "major" or "minor".

There are a couple of examples in the link below. If there is any issue with the example texts, they can still change. This is just a general idea.

Dunsparce appears a little on several separate series, while several Pikachu appear in all the anime series. There are certainly all kinds of other situations as well. Newer Pokémon such as those from Galar and Alola may need only one anime series section at the moment.

::::I'm thinking the series sections would probably work for most of the movies. For instance, we can use the "Original series" section to say that Teddiursa appeared in [[M03]] and [[M04]]. Human characters like {{Ash}} often have sections for anime series sections but nor for movies. That said, there is usually a separate section for the alternate universe movies (a single section including ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and its sequels). --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 23:32, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

== What's the difference between putting Ash's name between [[s compared to putting it between {{s? ==

:: I actually found that one after I sent you that message. It is indeed very useful, but I'm still having trouble understanding the Ash one in particular.

== Timeline placement clarification for Pokémon the Movie 2000 ==

It seems that I can't quite put my finger on where Pokémon the Movie 2000 takes place in the anime timeline. I heard some people say it takes place after Charizard Chills, as Charizard obeys Ash in the film, but the timeline says it takes place before Charizard Chills. And many people seem to agree when I looked on the discussion page for the movie. Think you can clarify for me when Pokémon the Movie 2000 takes place? I ask because I'm trying to watch the anime as according to the timeline. Much thanks. --[[User:Baldwin17|Baldwin17]] ([[User talk:Baldwin17|talk]]) 23:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
: Charizard Chills was the first episode to air after it. That's where you should watch it, despite the small continuity hiccup. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:44, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

== Mass changes ==

When you see a user has made mass changes to a large number of pages, reverting all of the edits is not helpful, unless the edits are vandalism. You should go to the user's talk page and discuss it there first. Because if the result of that discussion is to keep the edits, you'll have to go through all of those edits a third time to reinstate them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

:Okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 14:08, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

== Anime series sections ==

Hey, I created a proposal of adding series sections in the articles for Pokémon species. For instance, adding "Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl", "Pokémon the Series: Black & White", etc. sections in {{p|Pikachu}}.

This is being discussed here: [[Bulbapedia talk:Editor's Hub#Pokémon pages with anime series sections]]. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 13:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

:Okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:37, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

== Revision on the game shippings page. ==

The fact that Honorshipping refers to Morty x Falkner can easily be corroborated by simply typing the name on google, where you'll see many examples of its use in fanfics, fanfic communities and fanart. [[User:Andre1070|Andre1070]] ([[User talk:Andre1070|talk]]) 11:02, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

The '''Rotom Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ロトム{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''Rotom illustrated encyclopedia''), commonly referred to simply as '''Rotom Dex''' (Japanese: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom''), is a main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} character in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{Ash}}'s [[Pokédex]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Ash Alola Pokédex.png‎|thumb|left|250px|An empty Rotom Pokédex]]
Rotom debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', where it entered the empty Pokédex that Ash had received [[SM002|earlier]] from {{an|Professor Kukui}}, turning itself into the '''Pokédex Rotom version''' (Japanese: '''ロトムポケデックスフォルム''' ''Rotom Pokédex Forme''). After introducing itself to Ash, it followed him to the [[Pokémon School]], where it met {{ashcl}} and [[Samson Oak]]. Later, it accompanied Ash and his friends during their fieldwork in a forest.

In ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]'', Rotom was shown to be a big fan of the detective show Alolan Detective Laki and impersonated [[Laki]] throughout the episode. Upon finding out that Ash had lost his [[Electrium Z]], Rotom decided solve the case. After learning about a camera crew that had been filming at the Pokémon School, it went to the Alola TV station, where it copied the video from one of the cameras and updated itself with a video camera function. Using its new function, Rotom concluded that {{an|Kiawe}} was the culprit, but it was proven wrong by {{an|Lillie}}. It was then revealed that the Z-Crystal had been stuck inside Rotom's wig the whole time. At the end of the episode, Rotom offered to help Ash and Kiawe with their {{pkmn|training}} by recording it.

In ''[[SM023|Getting the Band Back Together!]]'', Rotom updated itself again with a {{wp|Sampling (signal processing)|voice sampling}} function by extracting data from [[DJ Leo]]'s [[DJ]] equipment. It used this function in [[SM024|the next episode]] to give Ash's speech for him during the Visiting Day at the Pokémon School, but both ended up getting caught due to Rotom getting carried away.

In ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', Rotom left the Pokédex after getting hit by [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electricity. Afterwards, it was swapped with a {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Rotom|Wash Rotom}}, whereupon it made multiple attempts to get back to the Pokédex. In the end, Rotom finally managed to return to Pokédex after getting hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt again.

In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Rotom updated itself again with data about the {{an|Ultra Beasts}}. It was further updated to hold info about {{AP|Poipole}} in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

In ''[[SM098|Bright Lights, Big Changes!]]'', while observing filming of the latest episode of Alolan Detective Laki, Rotom interrupted the production after discovering an error in the plot. Rotom impressed the producer [[George Charino]] with its knowledge and was offered a role on the program. In the end, however, Rotom went back to Ash.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', following Ash's decision to return to [[Pallet Town]] and travel the {{pkmn|world}}, Rotom decided to stay in [[Alola]] and work with the [[Aether Foundation]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Rotom greeted Ash upon his return to Alola.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Rotom Pokédex detective wig.png|thumb|250px|Rotom Pokédex's detective cosplay]]
Rotom claims to be a self-learning [[Pokédex]] (similar to an {{wp|Artificial intelligence|A.I.}}) and has the ability to speak [[human]] language. Early in the series, it has a bad habit of getting up close and personal to the Pokémon in order to see if the information about it is true, only to annoy and get attacked by said Pokémon. It also updates itself whenever it meets a new Pokémon by [[Photography|taking pictures]] of it or when it finds something new about a Pokémon. As shown in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', once Rotom Dex updates its photographic database and finds a way to describe the new Pokémon, the updated information then becomes available to download on various other Pokédexes. Rotom gets along with Ash and all of {{ashfr}}, but has shown an aversion to {{an|Sophocles}}'s attempts to "study" it. Largely due its self-learning nature, it also has an innate desire to catalog any Pokémon within the region. In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', it left during a field trip to Kanto on its own to try and catalog all 151 Kanto Pokémon, only missing one, {{p|Mew}}, by the time it returned to Oak's Lab.

While inhabiting the Pokédex, Rotom does not appear to have combat functions, and is unable to use any moves. As shown in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]'', it can use its "arms" to extract data from other electronic devices and update itself with the device's function. Additionally, if it is upside down or sideways, it can recalibrate its screen to show the data the right side up. Rotom also uses the numbers on its screen to express the statistics, usually showing the percentage of something, for example, to show the likelihood of a Pokémon appearing nearby. As shown in ''[[SM056|Let Sleeping Pokémon Lie!]]'', Rotom has a clear waterproof casing, allowing it to be used underwater.

Rotom is also a huge fan of the show Alolan Detective Laki. It likes to cosplay as the titular character [[Laki]], wearing a wig modeled after his hairstyle of [[Laki]], which {{an|Professor Kukui}} bought for it, to achieve this. It also looks up to Laki and even used his thought process in order to figure out how to deal with the fact that it had become {{status|freeze|frozen}}. However, Rotom tends to jump to conclusions with its deductions, such as in ''Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!'', when it believed that {{an|Kiawe}} stole {{Ash}}'s [[Electrium Z]]. This was also shown in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', when it accused {{an|Lillie}} of putting Ash and the rest of {{ashfr|the group}} to sleep and draining their energy, causing {{an|Mallow}} to jump to her defense. In addition, it is known to state the obvious through its calculations. Rotom is prideful in expressing the information it helps to deliver. So much so that in ''[[SM098|Bright Lights, Big Changes!]]'', it was revealed to have realized its goal of becoming the universe's greatest Pokédex.

In ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', it is revealed that if Rotom takes too much of a shock, it will be forced out of the electronic it is inhabiting. As mentioned in the episode's [[Poké Problem]] segment, Rotom has spent so much time in its Pokédex form that it feels uncomfortable outside of it.

==Blurb==

On their way to Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, Ash and the gang discover a nearby village where a festival is about to occur. Lyra is one of the festival's spokespersons-and a Trainer, to boot. She introduces herself after our heroes find her lost Marill, then she escorts them to the festival. There, they meet a budding young Pokémon Breeder named Khoury, and his father, who runs the festival.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has showed up and stolen food from the festival! When they see Dawn battle and beat Lyra in a special event where Dawn gets a Pokémon Egg as a prize, they steal it, too! But of course Ash will never let them get away with that! Everyone splits up to go looking for Jessie, James, Meowth, and Dawn's Egg. But they won't be easy to find. An angry Ursaring upsets Team Rocket's getaway plan, and Jessie winds up separated from James and Meowth during the chase.

Under the skillful leadership of Lyra, our heroes discover Team Rocket's whereabouts and retrieve the Egg, later to find out it contains a cute-but rather aggressive-baby Cyndaquil. Dawn couldn't be happier, though! Khoury and Lyra ask Khoury's father if they can go with Ash and company to Lilypad Town...and he says yes! So, for now, our heroes have added two new friends, and a baby Cyndaquil, as well!

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walk through a village, both Ash and {{an|Dawn}} complain of hunger. As they look for a place to have lunch, Ash spots a {{p|Marill}} stuck between two buildings. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} struggle to pull it out, but Marill eventually uses {{m|Water Gun}} to force itself out. {{an|Brock}} checks it as Dawn scans with her [[Pokédex]]. A girl runs up and claims the Marill as hers, recalling it to its {{i|Poké Ball}}. She introduces herself as {{an|Lyra}}, and Ash and his friends follow suit. Lyra notices Dawn's Piplup and scans it with her own Pokédex. She reveals that her Pokédex is a brand-new [[Johto]] model, the same region she is from, and that the [[Johto Festival]] is commencing. She calls Dawn {{tt|Dane|Hikarin}} before they set off.

At the center of the village, the festival is in full gear as a phone rings. Lyra pulls out a new type of [[Pokégear]] that Ash doesn't recognize and answers it, talking to her friend [[Khoury]]. She talks about the festival, how it travels throughout other regions to promote Johto. A recording of Lyra hosting a documentary appears on the screen, the documentary talking about Johto's features, touching on [[Ecruteak City]], its [[Burned Tower]] and the [[Kimono Girl]]s, bringing back Ash's memories (and Brock's of the girls) of his previous travels throughout the Johto [[region]]. The presentation continues with [[Goldenrod City]], the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] and its [[Amphy|Ampharos]]. It rounds up with Johto's final [[Gym Leader]] in [[Blackthorn City]], {{type|Dragon}} [[Type expert|specialist]] [[Clair]] of [[Blackthorn Gym]]. The presentation ends with Lyra hoping that the viewer visits the land of Johto soon. Lyra leads them to a [[Moomoo Milk]] stand that her friend Khoury runs. Dawn notices a {{TP|Khoury|Totodile}} behind the counter and scans it. Piplup and Pikachu try to meet, but Totodile doesn't respond to the friend request, about as well as with its [[Pokémon food]] that Khoury made. Brock samples it and says that it is too sweet, asking for [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]]. Brock grinds up some Berries into powder with a {{wp|mortar and pestle}}, then adds it to the food, which makes it more appealing to Totodile and allows it to chow down. As Brock offers to give him a recipe, [[Khoury's father]] offers the group soft serve ice cream made from MooMoo Milk, which they love. Lyra introduces the group to Khoury, a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and his father, the man responsible for running the festival. Ash and Lyra share their experiences throughout [[Sinnoh]] and Johto [[Gym]]s respectively, Ash with seven [[Badge]]s and Lyra with two. Dawn mentions that she is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, the first one Lyra has met in person, as Khoury's Totodile jumps on his shoulder, hinting that the exhibition of the Johto {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is about to start.

While {{TRT}} chows down on food, Lyra starts the exhibition. She discusses the three Johto [[starter Pokémon]] on the screen before bringing out her {{p|Chikorita}}. Lyra calls Dawn up to the field to {{pkmn|battle}} Chikorita with Piplup. The crowd applauds as she accepts, stepping up to the platform. Lyra reveals that if Dawn wins, Lyra will give her a prize. Piplup jumps to battle, even though Chikorita has a [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]]. Khoury's father starts the battle as Chikorita hits with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Piplup rebounds and fires {{m|Bubble Beam}}, but a {{m|Light Screen}} blocks it. Piplup charges with {{m|Peck}} and hits before following up with another Bubble Beam. Another Light Screen blocks it, but it is clearly weaker. Another Peck attack breaks the shield and [[fainting|knocks out]] Chikorita, giving Dawn the win. Khoury was impressed by the strategy as Lyra recalls Chikorita. Lyra presents Dawn with a wrapped box, her prize. Dawn opens it and finds a [[Pokémon Egg]] in an [[Egg case]]. As they wonder what is inside the Egg, Team Rocket suddenly appears in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], packed up with food from the festival. {{MTR}} steals Dawn's Egg with a mecha arm. They proceed to escape, but they run into a tree and puncture their balloon, sending them crashing away from the village in the forest. Ash and his friends pursue, and Lyra does too, but she has to convince Khoury to go too.

At the crash site, [[Jessie]] eats almost all the food (causing her belly to become swollen, in true anime fashion) as they turn to the Egg. [[James]] theorizes that it holds a [[legendary Pokémon]], each one coming up with an idea. A {{p|Teddiursa}} sneaks up and starts eating their food. Jessie scolds it and makes it cry, causing its parent {{p|Ursaring}} to attack them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Team Rocket runs away with the Ursaring in hot pursuit.

Ash and his friends find the deserted crash site as Lyra tries to motivate Khoury to be more brave. The guys and the girls split off to search as Ash sends {{AP|Staraptor}} to scout. Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues to run. Jessie trips and loses the Egg. James and Meowth go after it while Jessie flees from Ursaring. Meowth and James reclaim it and try to meet up with Jessie. Ash and the guys spot James and follow. As James walks, he notices the Egg flashing, indicating it is close to hatching. Staraptor has also spotted James, and Khoury phones Lyra to coordinate a meet. Using Marill and Totodile's Water Gun attacks, they are able to pursue James. When the guys catch up with James, the girls cut him off. Surrounded, James sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. Khoury proceeds to check Carnivine with his Pokédex at a bad moment. Carnivine fires {{m|Bullet Seed}} to suppress the guys, but Totodile sneaks up and takes the Egg back. Pikachu and Piplup attack with {{m|Thunderbolt}} ad Bubble Beam before a twin Water Gun attack from Marill and Totodile sends James and Meowth off. Dawn reclaims her Egg and notes it is close to hatching.

James and Meowth land and meet up with Jessie (whose stomach has instantly reverted to normal, also in true anime fashion), when they are then surrounded by many Ursaring. Back at the village, Lyra convinces Khoury's father to allow her to go attend the upcoming [[Lilypad Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], while Khoury wants to learn from Brock. He agrees to let Lyra and Khoury go with Ash and his friends for a while. Dawn's Egg fully glows as she brings it out of the case, revealing her new {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Dawn picks up Cyndaquil, as it shows affection by lighting its back fire, torching Dawn's hair. Everyone laughs as they decide to travel together.

==Trivia==
[[File:Clair and Dragonair.png|thumb|250px|Clair in her new clothes]]
* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]] takes a seven-episode hiatus beginning with this episode.
* This is the first episode of the five-part mini-arc involving {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]].
* This and [[DP144|the following episode]] are the first episodes to air in Japan after the earliest releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in Japan and {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}.
* Lyra's [[Johto]] introduction shows [[Clair]] in her [[Generation IV]] outfit, her original outfit having debuted in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This new outfit will also be seen when Clair reappears in person in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''.
* This is the first time that a main character receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} that hatches in the same episode.
* The episode shows many of the new [[List of Key Items in Generation IV|Key Items]] within {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. At their stall, Khoury and his father are selling items such as [[Apricorn]]s, [[Apricorn Box]]es, [[Berry Pots]], [[Rage Candy Bar]]s, and [[Apriblender]]s.
* In the Japanese version, {{an|Lyra}} calls {{an|Dawn}} "Hikarin", much like how [[Marilyn]] did in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]''. However, in the English [[dub]], Lyra calls Dawn "Dane", while Marilyn had called her "Dawny."
* The move {{m|Water Gun}} is rendered in CGI starting with this episode.
* In this episode, {{TRT}} uses a variation of their {{motto}}.
** In one verse, Jessie states "Go ahead and ask me if I've got milk!", likely a reference to the famous {{wp|Got Milk?}} advertising campaign.
* This is one of the few episodes where one of Team Rocket members doesn't blast off. Only [[James]] and {{MTR}} blast off in this episode.
* The three Pokémon that Team Rocket said could be in the Egg are the stars of the [[M02|second]], [[M03|third]], and [[M04|fourth]] movies.
* Music from ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' is used.
* This marks the third time a main character obtains a Pokémon that Ash already owns. The first and second were {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

===Errors===
* In the English version, when Team Rocket eats the stolen food in their balloon, their Japanese voices can be heard.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, while he is talking about Totodile's Pokémon food, Brock says that it isn't bitter enough. In the English dub, he says that it is too sweet.

==Blurb==

Rotom Dex is excited to house-sit while Ash and the professors go shopping. But chaos ensues when a washing machine is mistakenly delivered—and there’s a Wash Rotom inside! Somehow, the Wash Rotom ends up inside Ash’s Pokédex, and Rotom Dex takes its place in the washing machine. After a series of accidental form changes, and even some time spent inside a TV, Rotom Dex yearns to be back inside the comfort of the Pokédex. It finally succeeds, but not for long—after a big shock from Pikachu, Rotom Dex accidentally inhabits the entire Pokémon Center!

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and {{an|Professor Burnet}} prepare to leave the house to go to the local shops, while {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} will stay behind to look after the currently sleeping Pokémon. Rotom waves the trio goodbye and uses the opportunity to snap images of the napping Pokémon. Rotom's photography session is then interrupted by the doorbell, waking {{AP|Litten}} in the process. Rotom answers the door, finding a deliveryman and his {{p|Machoke}}. He is a little shocked to see Rotom and asks if anyone is home, but Rotom explains the situation. Machoke brings in a bright orange washing machine, surprising Rotom, who then signs off on the delivery and closes the door. Just then, Litten and {{AP|Lycanroc}} get into a playful fight, taking Rotom's attention and sense of peace with it. Meanwhile, the washing machine turns out to be another {{p|Rotom}}. Litten's {{m|Ember}} hits {{AP|Rowlet}} by mistake, and Rowlet attempts to target Litten in retaliation. Instead, it attacks {{AP|Pikachu}}, who responds to the painful awakening by shocking everyone in the room. This sends the two Rotom flying about, before knocking themselves back into the washing machine and Pokédex cover.

Ash, Kukui, and Burnet return home to see the washing machine, just as the deliveryman returns to apologize for delivering the wrong item. The deliveryman packs the washing machine back in his van and drives off. Meanwhile, Ash and the two Professors reenter the house and find Rotom's Pokédex cover lying on the floor. Kukui takes it from Ash's hands and taps on the screen, which causes the system to reboot. Rotom emerges, but refers to itself as "Wash Rotom Pokedex". Ash notices that Rotom is acting strangely, though Kukui and Burnet think nothing of it and assume it is just a symptom of the reboot.

Meanwhile, the deliveryman has brought the other Rotom to the local [[Pokémon Center]]. Rotom is confused to find itself inside a washing machine, and wonders where its Pokédex Index is. Just then, [[Nurse Joy]] places dirty laundry inside to wash it, and pokes Rotom's eyes in the process. Wash Rotom begins to shake violently, before its door opens up and bubbles fill the Center's laundry room. Rotom is sent into a panic and escapes the washing machine through a power socket, leaving Nurse Joy confused as to why her new machine doesn't work.

Rotom travels through the power wires, though it is instantly uncomfortable and thus dragged by the electric current to {{an|Lana}}'s house. There, [[Harper and Sarah]] are talking into a fan, while Lana is busy doing the dishes. Rotom takes control of the fan and notes that he is at Lana's house. Suddenly, Sarah and Harper begin to fight over the fan. In a bid to escape, Rotom starts flying around, though this only amuses the twins, who pursue it. Eventually, the chase ends when Rotom hits a wall and exits the appliance, before again attempting to find the Pokédex by traveling through the overhead power lines.

Rotom returns to Kukui's house but finds itself stuck in the television set. It calls out, only to receive no answer, After flicking through some channels, Rotom exits the TV through a power socket, fearing its Pokédex shell was thrown in the trash. Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu, along with Wash Rotom Pokédex, are in [[Hau'oli City]] when Wash Rotom takes a picture of {{p|Marshadow|a mysterious Pokémon}}. Rotom exits a street lamp and also sees it, though it is disappointed that it cannot take a picture before being reabsorbed back into the power grid.

Rotom finds itself now attached to a lawnmower driven by one of {{an|Lillie}}'s housemaids while she sips tea and is reading outside. When it spots Lillie, it rampages towards her, though she and [[Snowy]] flee in fear. Lillie's butler [[Hobbes]] calls on his {{p|Oricorio}} to perform {{m|Revelation Dance}} to end the pursuit. The {{t|Electric}} attack works, as Rotom exits the lawnmower and enters back into the power system.

Next, Rotom possesses an oven in [[Aina's Kitchen]]. It soon realizes where it is upon seeing {{an|Mallow}} accepting [[Moomoo Milk]] from {{an|Kiawe}}. Kiawe says it is strange that the restaurant ran out of milk, though Mallow explains they had many orders. She rewards Kiawe with a hot pudding, only to find Rotom's door open automatically. Mallow and {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}} inspect the puddings, only to find that they are still watery and close the door. However, its springs open again, so she closes it again. Rotom moves around to get their attention, though the act only scares Mallow and Steenee out of the kitchen. Kiawe calls out his {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} to solve the issue, and it strikes Heat Rotom with its bone. Rotom exits the oven and into {{an|Sophocles}}'s fridge. Hoping to get Sophocles and {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}'s attention, it freezes them solid with its {{m|Blizzard}}. Rotom escapes, just as [[Sophocles's parents|Sophocles's mother]] discovers her son.

Rotom concedes that it must return to the washing machine. Ash also attends the Pokémon Center to notify [[Nurse Joy]] about his Rotom's bizarre nature. Nurse Joy is instantly reminded of her washing machine, which she points to, and the Wash Rotom Pokédex says it is nostalgic. Suddenly, Rotom enters the Center and returns to the washing machine. After the Pokédex details Rotom and its forme changes, Nurse Joy believes her washing machine may have been affected. In its excitement to see Ash again, Wash Rotom sprays a {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Pikachu counters with {{m|Electro Ball}}, though Rotom fills the room with soap suds out of fear, which Ash interprets as an attack. Ash then has Pikachu use its Thunderbolt, and it shocks everyone in the process. Once again, the Rotom exit their devices, knock into each other, and reenter their original devices.

Nurse Joy starts mopping the Center clean again, while Ash knocks on his Pokédex, causing Rotom to reboot its system. Rotom is turned on and expresses delight to be back, just as the Wash Rotom starts to rattle again. Rotom explains to Ash that the two switched bodies, and he accepts the strange turn of events. Ash then explains that the other Rotom had taken a picture of a rare Pokémon, though it was deleted. Fearing it may be missing out on valuable data, Rotom flies out in search of the rare Pokémon. Ash goes to pursue it, but he slips and crushes Pikachu, who shocks everyone once again. Ash finds the Pokédex shell lying on the floor again, and fears the two Rotom have switched bodies. Unbeknownst to him, Rotom instead bonded with the Pokémon Center.

'''Samurott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイケンキ''' ''Daikenki'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Unova starters evolution artwork.png|left|thumb|200px|Poster showing Samurott standing on its hind legs and carrying its unsheathed seamitar]]

Samurott is a quadrupedal, blue, sea lion-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and it has a red nose and eyes. On the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. A dull bluish-gray seashell-like carapace covers its underbelly, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, that appear to be made of seashells. The forelimbs' bracers contain swords called [[Scalchop and seamitar|seamitars]]. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords, and the upper segment and spike make up the seamitar and its handle. Samurott possess three black digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige.

When in battle, Samurott can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight. In the time it takes a foe to blink, it can draw and sheathe the seamitars attached to its front legs. One swing of its seamitar can beat opponents. It can silence foes with a glare or a howl.

==Trivia==
[[File:Samurott Blue Battle Chess.png|thumb|Samurott in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Samurott, {{p|Serperior}}, and {{p|Emboar}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* At 2.099 seconds, Samurott has the longest [[cry]] of any starter.
* During an interview, [[Yusuke Ohmura]] said he designed Samurott before Oshawott after going to an exhibit and seeing how strong sea lions are.
* Samurott appears in [[Pokémon Battle Chess]]. It acts as a bishop piece in chess, but can also move one square directly forward.
* Samurott is the only fully-evolved Water-type starter Pokemon that is not in the Water 1 egg group.

===Origin===
While its pre-evolved forms are based on {{wp|otter}}s, Samurott’s design is also heavily based on a {{wp|sea lion}} and an armored {{wp|samurai}}.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (archived link)</ref><ref name="Dream">[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation of an interview with the developers of ''Pokémon Black and White Versions'' on volume 201 of Nintendo dream].</ref> While it was decided that {{p|Oshawott}} would be based on an otter, the designers had issues in creating a fully evolved form which was more interesting than just a bigger otter standing on two legs. At that point [[Yusuke Ohmura]] went to see real-life otters at an exhibit, but his attention was rather caught by the strength displayed by a nearby sea lion, and thus decided that the fully evolved form would possess the latter animal's body shape.<ref name="Dream"/> Furthermore, to represent the variety in the human population of [[Unova]], it was decided that the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary families]] of the [[starter Pokémon]] would be based on the West, China and Japan. In the case of the Oshawott family, it had to represent Japan, and thus was based on Japanese samurai.<ref name="Dream"/> Samurott's inspiration also comes from the lifespan of a samurai, from a child (Oshawott) to a military commander (Samurott).

Samurott's tail may be based on a {{wp|Japanese war fan}}. The "helmet" over its head appears to be based on the {{wp|Murex trapa|rare-spined murex}} shell. The markings on its chest make it reminiscent of a {{wp|giant otter}}. Its ability to withdraw, attack with, and return its blade may be a reference to {{wp|iaido}}, a Japanese martial art that uses similar swordplay in combat.

====Name origin====
Samurott is a combination of ''samurai'' and ''otter''.

Daikenki is the complete ''{{wp|Kanji#On'yomi (Sino-Japanese reading)|on'yomi}}'' (Chinese sound) reading of 大剣鬼 ''daikenki'' (big, sword-wielding demon). This is a combination of 大 ''dai'' (big), ''ken'' (sword), and ''ki'' (demon), with 剣鬼 ''kenki'' meaning "sword-wielding demon" or "sword master". Its Chinese and Korean names are based on this reading. 大 ''dai'' may refer to Samurott's place in the evolutionary line, as the biggest and therefore final evolution.

'''Pikachu's Vacation''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウのなつやすみ''' ''Pikachu's Summer Vacation'') is the first [[Pikachu short]]. It debuted in Japanese theaters on July 18, 1998, and then made its way to North American theaters on November 10, 1999.

''Pikachu's Vacation'' was shown alongside ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

==Blurb==

Pikachu and its buddies have decided to spend their summer vacation here in Pokémon Square, a place for Pokémon to get together and have fun. Along come four Pokémon, making a racket as they head into the Square—and the noise wakes up Togepi, who just got to sleep!

Pikachu and its friends try to get the four noisy Pokémon—Raichu, Cubone, Snubbull, and Marill—to calm down, but everything starts going downhill from there! Squirtle and Marill go head to head, while Pikachu and Raichu face off in a heated battle. Charizard finds itself mixed up in the melee, too, and ends up getting its head stuck in a pipe!

This musical fantasy is full of the friendship, camaraderie, and lovable characters that make Pikachu and its friends so special!

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} release their Pokémon to spend the day at a [[Pokémon Theme Park|theme park for Pokémon]]. With {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} leading, all of the Pokémon dance their way to the theme park.

However, upon arriving, all of them stampede off to look for fun, except Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} who have to look after Togepi when it gets hungry and bursts into tears. Squirtle and Pikachu attempt to make Togepi happy by making faces at it, but Squirtle's scary face makes it even worse. Upset, Squirtle walks off but then spies an apple on a tree. Bulbasaur gets it down using {{m|Razor Leaf}} but it rolls over to Psyduck who eats it and wanders off, Togepi bursting into tears again. Bulbasaur, however, uses his {{m|Vine Whip}} and rocks Togepi to sleep by singing a lullaby (which Dexter names the Bulbaby).

Togepi has fallen asleep, but is awakened by a quartet consisting of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Cubone}}. Pikachu approaches and asks them to be quieter, but instead, the four get aggressive. After the quartet started arguing with Bulbasaur and Squirtle, Pikachu tries to make peace stating that since they're older, they should set a better example for the baby. Togepi wanders off onto a log that starts rolling down a river, Pikachu crazily trying to stay on, but eventually falls into the river and watches the log roll off and hit a nearby swimming pool. Thankfully, Togepi gets off the log safely. Pikachu retrieves Togepi but finds Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and the bullying Pokémon squaring off against each other.

Squirtle and Marill challenge each other to a race across a crowded swimming pool. Pikachu starts off the race with the help of {{p|Electrode}} who rolls and explodes. Squirtle and Marill race across the pool, but then Marill bumps into a {{p|Starmie}} and it becomes so angry that it attacks Marill with {{m|Water Gun}}. Afterwards, Squirtle ends up getting caught on the back of a {{p|Goldeen}}. Squirtle escapes and speeds across the pool, but discovers Marill has already won.
[[File:Raichu Pikachu running.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu and Raichu's unstoppable race]]
The two groups continue to square off, Pikachu not wanting any more competition. Raichu's sparks out lightning bolts which scare Togepi. Pikachu hugs it, only for the two to get electrocuted by Raichu. Pikachu finally snaps and gets angry. Pikachu and Raichu attempt to overpower each other with their sparking cheeks, and instead speed off across the park, causing mayhem. {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} are trying to sleep but are continuously disrupted by Pikachu and Raichu. The battle concludes with the two stepping on the tail of {{AP|Charizard}}, who chases them, but the two are going so fast that they outrun it. Charizard eventually outspeeds them and he stops right in front of Pikachu and Raichu and he blows them away, making them fall on a Snorlax. Afterwards, the two are crushed by said {{p|Snorlax}}. The others rush to help but stop when Charizard hurtles out of control and gets its head stuck in a climbing frame.

Pikachu and all of his gathered friends (minus Staryu and Goldeen) attach a rope to Charizard's foot and try to pull it out, but Charizard's frantic panicking causes them all to fly backward. Charizard begins to cry so Pikachu manages to enlist the help of the bullying Pokémon who apologizes for their previous actions - all except Cubone, who follows its nature of only caring for itself. However, Cubone eventually helps. Charizard is eventually pulled out, but it sends all the Pokémon flying through the air. Charizard flies off, taking Psyduck with it. Meowth, who has been disrupted from his sleep multiple times, brings out a bomb to stop all the noise, but Charizard lands on him and Meowth is blown up underneath Charizard.

In the end, all the Pokémon help rebuild the destroyed climbing frame and spend the rest of the day having fun. As the sun sets, all the Pokémon hear their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s calling and all leave. Before Pikachu leaves, he shakes hands with Snubbull, the five becoming friends. Pikachu hops off as his new friends wave farewell. Happy to see his Trainer again, Pikachu leaps into Ash's arms for an exchanged hug.

==Trivia==
[[File:PK01 Jynx edit.png|thumb|200px|Recolored Jynx in the ending credits]]
[[File:PK01 Jynx edit 2.png|thumb|200px|Another recolored Jynx in the ending credits]]
* For the Japanese Blu-ray release in 2012 of this [[Pikachu short]], {{p|Jynx}} was recolored in the ending credits due to the [[Jynx (Pokémon)#Controversy|controversy surrounding her color scheme]].
* This Pikachu short was adapted into the graphic novel [[All That Pikachu!]].
* All three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that debuted in this Pikachu short would later be made {{type|Fairy}}.
* This Pikachu short introduced [[Misty's Togepi]] as well as spoiled the evolutions of [[Ash's Charizard]], [[Jessie's Arbok]], and [[James's Weezing]] to audiences in numerous countries, since it was released well before Togepi's [[EP050|hatching episode]] and the episodes in which the aforementioned Pokémon evolved ([[EP031]], [[EP043]], and [[EP046]]).

===Errors===
* During the opening credits of the English [[dub]], [[Takeshi Shudo]] is mistakenly credited as the screenwriter of this short instead of [[Hideki Sonoda]].
* When all of {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon stampede into the park, [[Misty's Psyduck]] is seen running over {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, in the next frame, Psyduck is seen standing right behind Pikachu.
* In the logo, the é in Pokémon is not e-acute, thus making it read as "Pokemon".
* In one scene, an {{p|Eevee}} in the background has white eyes instead of black.

===Dub edits===
* Ash's [[Pokédex]], Dexter, acts as a narrator of sorts in the short, giving out various facts about the featured Pokémon and their behavior. These facts include:
** {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is identified as the Egg Pokémon, although the species was later identified as the Spike Ball Pokémon. Togepi is also mentioned to have a low tolerance for hunger.
** {{AP|Bulbasaur}} performs a calming melody for Togepi, identified by Dexter as the "Bulbaby".
** {{p|Snubbull}} was identified as a "newly discovered" Pokémon.
** The Pokédex is shown to be able to translate Pokémon languages.

'''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウたんけんたい''' ''The Pikachu Expedition'') is the fourth [[Pikachu short]]. It was aired alongside ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

==Blurb==

One day, Pikachu and its friends are walking along when they suddenly fall through a Diglett hole and into Pokémon Valley, a secret location that no one knows about. Pikachu and its buddies tell the Pokémon that they could use some help looking for Togepi, who fell through the hole first. The group sets off and eventually finds Togepi in the Exeggcute nest—but one of the Exeggcute is missing. That leads the group on another hunt; this time, though, Pikachu and its friends come back to the nest empty-handed. That’s when a storm begins to brew, filling Pokémon valley with roaring thunder and gusts of wind that almost blow the friends—and the Exeggcute nest—away! Are the friends going to be able to keep the nest safe and reunite the Exeggcute?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are resting in a [[Unnamed island (PK04)|campsite]], and all of their Pokémon are sleeping. A group of {{p|Ledyba}} flew by, waking [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]]. Togepi jumps up and watches them. Then Togepi yawns and falls back down a hill, waking {{AP|Pikachu}} and the rest of the group's Pokémon. They, then going after Togepi and while exploring, find themselves lost. Togepi continues to roll down, hitting a lost {{MTR}} on the way. They both fall down a tree stump. The group's Pokémon are calling for Togepi, but don't get a response. {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} then comes running down the hill and knocks Pikachu and the others down the tree stump. The tree stump leads off a mountain. Some Ledyba catch them just before they hit the ground. The Ledyba drop them off in some leaves. They then come face to face with an {{p|Elekid}}. It and Pikachu start to fight and Meowth is seen stuck on a tree branch. He screams for help, waking a {{p|Gyarados}}, who attacks, though Meowth escapes.

Back with the group, Pikachu and the rest follow Elekid to a tree, where Togepi can be seen with some {{p|Exeggcute}}. Pikachu runs up the tree, but the Exeggcute stop him. {{AP|Bulbasaur}} then uses {{m|Vine Whip|his vines}} to grab Togepi, but one of the Exeggcute bites his vine. {{AP|Squirtle}} then notices that one egg is missing. It seems that they want Togepi to fill the spot. The group searches for the lost Exeggcute.

{{p|Bellossom}} make an appearance, putting on a show the group. When finished, the group meets some {{p|Clefairy}}, who use {{m|Metronome}}, which turns into {{m|Explosion}}. This blows a hole in the cave, throwing the gang in the air. Pikachu and Elekid both collide with Meowth. They fall onto a {{p|Snorlax}}, bouncing off it, and into Gyarados's waterfall. The trio have a fight over who gets to ride Gyarados. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing Meowth to blast off. Pikachu and Elekid meet up with the rest of the group again. A storm begins to stir, almost forcing the Exeggcute out of the tree. The group, as well as many forest Pokémon, try to help the Exeggcute. Thunder brews, and a strike of lightning hits the tree, causing a fire. Squirtle and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} put the fire out by using their {{m|Water Gun}}s. The nest with Togepi in it then blows away. Bulbasaur uses his vines to catch the nest. Now, Bulbasaur start to blow away, so all the Pokémon create a chain to save him. Finally, the sun then comes out, and {{p|Dragonair}} flies across the rainbow, Pikachu grabs Togepi in happiness. The Exeggcute are still missing one of their eggs. A {{p|Chansey}} then returns the last egg that she'd been looking after. The Exeggcute jump around a [[Leaf Stone]] in joy, and while doing so they evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}}. The group says their farewells and return to their Trainers.

==Trivia==
[[File:PK04 Jynx edit.png|thumb|Recolored Jynx in the ending credits]]
* For the Japanese Blu-ray release in 2012, {{p|Jynx}} was recolored in the ending credits due to the [[Jynx (Pokémon)#Controversy|controversy surrounding her color]].
* The "welcome song" that the Tree residents sing to {{AP|Pikachu}} and his group when they arrive also played in the background of the main menu for the DVD of ''Pokémon the Movie 2000''.
* Although {{p|Exeggutor}} is usually described as having three heads, this is the first time an Exeggutor in the {{pkmn|anime}} is confirmed to have only three heads, as all [[EP043|Exeggutor]] [[EP075|seen]] [[EP103|previously]] have had at least four to six heads.
* The {{p|Butterfree}} seen in this [[Pikachu short]] are of the normal variation, rather than the Orange Islands variation.
* This was adapted into a full color manga in [[All That Pikachu!]].
* The {{pmin|Iceland}}ic [[dub]] of this Pikachu short translates some of the Pokémon's names.

===Errors===
* Numerous {{p|Poliwhirl}} say ''"{{p|Poliwrath}}"'', and a {{p|Poliwag}} says "Poliwhirl".
* While the various Pokémon are dancing for Pikachu and friends, {{p|Elekid}} is seen with holes in its horns. However, upon turning its head, the holes are missing from the other side.
* While protecting the eggs, a {{p|Pidgey}} uses the sound clip of a {{p|Fearow}}.
* While {{p|Exeggcute}} is evolving, the {{p|Pidgey}}'s belly is brown instead of the normal yellow.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, the [[narrator]] described the events of the Pikachu short. The narration is removed in the English [[dub]].

'''Pikachu & Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ピチューとピカチュウ''' ''Pichu and Pikachu'') is the seventh [[Pikachu short]]. It debuted in Japanese theaters on July 8, 2000, and then made its way to North American theaters on April 6, 2001.

''Pikachu & Pichu'' was shown with the [[Pokémon movie]] ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''.

==Blurb==

While visiting a big city with Ash, Pikachu meets the Pichu Brothers—Pichu Little, the rambunctious younger half, and Pichu Big, the reserved older half. Pikachu does its best to keep Pichu Little from falling off a building, but it ends up falling off itself! The adventures continue as Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers roll off the top of a bus, fall into a river, and then fly into the air and onto the back of a Houndour! With the angry Houndour in hot pursuit, the trio makes its way to a pile of tires that serves as a “secret fort.” All the hustle and bustle, though, sends the fort tumbling down. With the help of some Pokémon, the group works together to rebuild the fort—but Pikachu remembers that it has to get back to Ash. The Pichu Brothers whisk Pikachu away and head for the building where Ash is waiting, but will they manage to get there in time?

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
While visiting a [[Big Town|city]] in [[Johto]], {{AP|Pikachu}} meets a pair of young, mischievous [[Pichu Brothers]]. Pikachu manages to prevent one from falling off a building, only to end up being attacked by a flock of {{p|Murkrow}} for perching on a flagpole. Pikachu ends up hanging above the city block on a rope, which a Murkrow loosens, sending poor Pikachu flying through the air, air walking across a flock of {{p|Hoppip}} and lands on a window cleaner's bench, sending the window cleaner, {{MTR}}, slamming into a billboard. Pikachu befriends the Pichu Brothers, who he believes are helping him return to his friends, but they instead take him across the city.

The trio gets into some trouble which include rolling off the top of a bus, into a river, where they are nearly run down by a ferry, and are pursued across the city by an angry {{p|Houndour}}. They escape Houndour and find the Pichu Brother's playhouse, which appears to have been handmade by the brothers and their large number of friends. The clock tower in the distance chimes five o'clock, Pikachu realizes that {{Ash}} mentioned that he and his friends would return for their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by six o'clock, and tries to leave. Houndour appears and chases the trio, seemingly nearly toppling over the playhouse. Houndour is buried by tires but Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers save him.

Together, they and the brothers' friends straighten and rebuild the playhouse. However, time is nearly up for Pikachu, so he and the brothers hitch a ride in a tire and race back to the building where Pikachu must meet Ash. They hit Meowth on the way, who goes flying back into his window cleaner bench. Pikachu returns to the building and bids farewell to the Pichu Brothers. Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} arrive and lead the Pokémon into a room full of food. Ash tells Pikachu it has been a full year since [[EP001|they met]] in [[Pallet Town]], and this party is to celebrate that. Overjoyed at this celebration, Pikachu leaps into Ash's arms in a big hug. The Pokémon start eating, and Ash allows Pikachu to wear [[Ash's hat|his hat]] for the night. The [[narrator]] concludes the short by noting that Ash and the Pichu Brothers have something in common: neither will ever forget the day they first met Pikachu.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} celebrate the first-year anniversary of Ash's [[Pokémon journey]].

==Trivia==
* The Japanese narrator of the short, Sakai Noriko, was arrested in 2009 and later convicted of possession and abuse of drugs. As a result, the short was [[Banned episodes|banned]] in Japan, and it hasn't seen a rerun or a release on home video or VOD in Japan since then. As such, it was the only theatrical [[Pikachu short]] to be excluded from the ''Pikachu The Movie Premium Box: 1998-2010''.<ref>http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/pm_lord_unknown_tower_entei/lord_unknown_tower_entei_sakai_noriko.html</ref>
* In the {{pmin|Iceland}}ic sub, when {{p|Voltorb}} accidentally says {{p|Electrode}}, it is translated into Elektróða.

===Errors===
* Voltorb says "Electrode" instead of "Voltorb" when appearing for the first time.

==Plot==
{{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends arrive on the beach. As the others start playing on the beach, Pikachu says that they can play anytime on the beach. Suddenly, a {{p|Wynaut}}, looking weak and battered, wobbles from nowhere and faints in front of the gang.

When Wynaut wakes up, Pikachu asks what happened to him. In a flashback, a bunch of Wynaut, a couple of {{p|Pichu}}, and a {{p|Buizel}} were playing peacefully when {{MTR}}, {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Hariyama}}, and {{p|Exploud}} appear; kick all of them out of the island; and claim it as Meowth's. Wynaut's story ends and Pikachu and his friends decide to help the Wynaut, Pichu, and Buizel reclaim the island. At first, the Pokémon were discouraged but Pikachu and his friends successfully boost their confidence. Pikachu decides to train the Pokémon first before battling Meowth and his goons.

The Pokémon tackled {{AP|Corphish}} as their first training but none of them were successful. {{TP|May|Eevee}} remarks that Corphish is overdoing it so he got an idea. When one of the Wynaut tackles him, he pretends to be beaten. When it was the smallest Wynaut's turn, he accidentally trips. Corphish chose Buizel to go next but he's too scared of doing it. Now, the scene shifts to Pikachu teaching the two Pichu {{m|Thunderbolt}}, then onto {{TP|May|Squirtle}} and {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} teaching the Wynaut how to dodge a {{m|Water Gun}}. Three of them made it, but the smallest one got hit. Lastly, {{TP|May|Combusken}} teaches the Pokémon about countering attacks. Three Wynaut use {{m|Mirror Coat}} to counter Corphish's {{m|Bubble Beam}} and they succeed. Then, the smallest one tries, but his Mirror Coat wears off and he gets blasted by the Bubble Beam. He was send high above the ground, then crashes back. The training is now complete and the Pokémon are now ready for battle.

The gang uses a cable car, in which a boat is used as a cabin, to reach the island. Meanwhile, Meowth and Wobbuffet gazes at the view and Meowth daydreams about what he will do to the island. Suddenly, Chatot interrupts them and leads them near to the cable car. Meowth sees Pikachu and his friends and decides to confront them. Just as Cacnea is about to attack, Corphish cuts the rope holding Meowth's boat making them fall into the water.

When Pikachu and his friends reach the island, Hariyama and Exploud appears from nowhere and Meowth and his goons comes from behind. The gang then splits up. Several scenes show Pikachu and his friends winning. When they were gathered in a single spot, Meowth commanded Hariyama and Exploud to use their best moves ({{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Solar Beam}}). It successfully deals great damage to Pikachu and his friends. Exploud then fires another Solar Beam at a Wynaut but was deflected back to Exploud by Wynaut's Mirror Coat. Then, Hariyama fires a Hyper Beam but the Wynaut used Mirror Coat to protect themselves. Meowth then commands both Hariyama and Exploud to attack them but the Wynaut counters the attacks and Hariyama and Exploud lands on one end of a seesaw. As a last ditch attempt, Meowth and his friends charge at Pikachu's gang, but the Pokémon send Meowth and his friends to the seesaw. Donphan sends them flying by landing on the other end of the seesaw and the Pokémon successfully reclaims the island.

Pikachu and the others are seen happily playing in the playground. Pikachu then discovers some watermelons and shares them with the others. The Pokémon play and ate watermelons all day. The last scene shows Pikachu and his friends eating watermelons and watching the sunset.

* The DVD subtitles misspell Wynaut as "Whynaut" and Buizel as "Buoysel." However, "Buoysel" is the official Japanese romanization of its name.
* In the original Japanese version, the second time Exploud uses Solar Beam, the narrator says that Wynaut used Counter in return, when Wynaut actually used Mirror Coat.

'''Pikipek''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツツケラ''' ''Tsutsukera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Trumbeak}} starting at [[level]] 14, which evolves into {{p|Toucannon}} starting at level 28.

==Biology==
Pikipek is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black plumage. Its gray beak is long with a pointed, black tip, and it has large blue eyes. There is a white, mask-like marking on its face. This marking extends down its neck before ending in a tuft of feathers on its chest. A large crest sweeps upward from the back of its head with a red stripe along the top that ends at its beak. The undersides of Pikipek's wings are white, and it has thin gray legs and feet. It has a flat tail.

Despite its slender appearance, Pikipek has powerful neck muscles and is able to strike 16 times per second with its beak. This allows it to not only drill through wood, but shatter stone as well. The holes it drills in trees are used for nesting, storing food, and collecting small, glittering objects. The noise of this Pokémon pecking can be used to communicate with others. This Pokémon feeds on Berries and is able to attack opponents by zipping the leftover seeds at them. These shots have enough force to embed the seeds in trees.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/pikipek/Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Pikipek]</ref> {{p|Talonflame}} is a natural predator of Pikipek. Pikipek preys on {{p|Metapod}}.

==Trivia==
* Pikipek was the first [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be officially shown; this happened during the February 2016 {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}}. At the time, it was unnamed and appeared as a wireframe model.
* Pikipek is tied with {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, and {{p|Spearow}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** It is also tied with Starly, Wingull, and {{p|Pidove}} for the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Flying-type Pokémon.
* Pikipek, along with its evolved form {{p|Trumbeak}}, are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Pickup}} as their {{Hidden Ability}}.

===Origin===
Pikipek seems to be based on a {{wp|pileated woodpecker}}. It may also be partially based on a baby {{wp|toco toucan}}, judging by its evolution into Trumbeak and Toucannon.

====Name origin====
Pikipek may be a combination of ''picus'' (Latin for woodpecker) and ''peck''.

Tsutsukera may be a combination of 突き ''tsutsuki'' (pecking) and 啄木鳥 ''keratsutsuki'' (woodpecker).

It was first used as the opening and ending theme for the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and was later used as the ending theme of the English dub of [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], which encompasses the episodes from ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''.

The original airing of the English dub and the Japanese version of ''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon'' use the rap portion of the song as both the opening and ending, while the redub changes the opening to use a different part of the song. A shortened version of the rap portion was used for the Battle Frontier ending, making it the only original ending theme to be used in the English dub of the main anime, as ending themes for the English dub otherwise have been shortened or instrumental versions of the opening themes.

The full version is available on the {{CD|Pokémon X}} CD, and was also featured in the music video in the [[10th Anniversary Perdue Farms promotion]].

==Characters==
These lists only cover the two openings of ''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon''. All other occurrences of this song in the anime have no background animation and thus have no characters in them.

<ab>''Pokémon Go Pokémon Go (It's on!)
Pokémon Go (It's going on!)
Pokémon Go Pokémon Go (It's on!)
Pokémon Go (It's going on!)

Come with me on a flight of mystery!
Learn to master the art of battle so expertly!
With Misty and May and Brock right there to see... yeah.
Ride a dream, come on and you'll really feel free!
Grab your (Pokédex!) and check to keep track of what you've seen!
You'll be catching Pokémon in no time from the land every day

I'm on a quest now!
Don't know when, where or how!
I'm gonna be the best,
Put my training to the test,

Gotta catch 'em all now
I'm ready to shout out so loud
I live for Pokémon
Long live Pokémon
And on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on

Pokémon Go Pokémon Go (It's on!)
Pokémon Go (It's going on!)
Pokémon Go Pokémon Go (It's on!)
Pokémon Go (It's going on!)

Do you remember the times that we shared in Kanto?
Sometimes it seems like a dream so very, very long ago!
Do you remember the battle that we fought in Johto?
Tell me (Tell me (Tell me)), where did all the time go?
Now to (Hoenn!) and beyond, the pace never slows!
When adventure awaits, you can't stop, no no no no...

I'm on a quest now!
Don't know when, where or how!

Training for the top, 'cause you know you can't stop!
Your training kicks (now), Pokémon Pow (wow!)
The power of a master, all before you will (bow!)
But don't let it get to your head, young Trainer
The road is long and filled with danger
Everyone says they deserve to be number one
But who can top you? The answer is none
Because they've never seen an expert like (you!)
One who knows the difference between Mewtwo (and Mew!)
Or someone who can tell you the type (Pikachu!)
Or someone who can tell you which Pokémon's (new!)

First you kick it in Kanto!
Then you head to Johto!
Don't know where to go, try to go with the flow!
Everybody knows how the fever is growing!
Watch out, next stop might be Hoenn
But even that's not where Pokémon'll end
There's even more adventures
Right around the bend!</ab>

* This is the only English [[dub]] theme to be used in the original Japanese version.
* The {{pmin|France|French}} and the {{pmin|South Asia|Indian Disney XD Hindi/Tamil/Telugu}} dubs used an instrumental version of the track as the ending for [[S09|Battle Frontier]], rather than a dubbed version or the English version.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

{{PA}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or even a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This list includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

==List of references to Pokémon in popular culture==
===Science===
* '''{{wp|Aerodactylus}} scolopaciceps''' was renamed from ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' in October 2014 due to a newly discovered {{wp|taxon}}omic separation. The name refers to {{p|Aerodactyl}}, a Pokémon based on various pterosaur species because it "seemed a pertinent name for a genus which has been synonymous with ''Pterodatylus'' for so long due to a combination of features".<ref>[http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0110646#s5 PLOS ONE: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]</ref>
* '''{{wp|Bulbasaurus}} phylloxyron''', a species of dicynodonts (precursors to early mammals) discovered in January 2017. Although officially named after the bulbous shape of its nose, the scientist who named the species made several references to Pokémon on twitter while presenting the species. In addition, phylloxyron literally means "Razor Leaf".<ref name="Synapsid article">[http://blogs.plos.org/paleocomm/2017/01/31/synapsida-gotta-catch-em-all/ Synapsida – Gotta catch ‘em all!]</ref><ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[https://peerj.com/articles/2913/ An early geikiid dicynodont from the ''Tropidostoma'' Assemblage Zone (late Permian) of South Africa]</ref>
* '''Chilicola {{p|Charizard}}''', a species of stem-nesting bee, which received its name in May 2016.<ref>[http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7731 A revision of ''Chilicola'' (''Heteroediscelis''), a subgenus of xeromelissine bees (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) endemic to Chile: taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography, with descriptions of eight new species]</ref>
* '''{{wp|Pikachurin}}''', a protein discovered by Japanese researches in 2008, which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain. The name refers to the Pokémon and to the protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* '''Pokemon''' was the temporary name of gene {{wp|Zbtb7}}. The name officially stood for "POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor", likely as a reference in the form of a {{wp|backronym}}. It was eventually renamed due to [[The Pokémon Company]]'s threats of legal action, who did not wish to be associated with the cancer-related gene.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-usa-threatens-to-sue-cancer-researchers/1100-6141487/ Pokemon USA threatens to sue cancer researchers | GameSpot]</ref>

* '''Stentorceps weedlei''' is the scientific classification of a species of wasps, received scientific classification. The species shares with {{p|Weedle}} the distinctive feature of having a spike in the middle of its head.<ref>[http://www.waspweb.org/Cynipoidea/Figitidae/Eucoilinae/Stentorceps/Stentorceps_weedlei.htm ''Stentorceps weedlei'' Nielsen & Buffington]</ref>

In addition, in the episode ''Umaru and her rival'', after being told not to play with a cat souvenir, Umaru plays with it the next day alongside her hamster toys, calling it "Pocket Hamsters GK". She makes them battle, and during the battle, she starts by shouting "A wild Hamsaburou has appeared!" She then proceeds to summon the cat souvenir, shouting "Metal Nyankos! I choose you!" She makes the cat bob its head, saying that it makes Hamsaburou's defense fall while a health bar on the side of the screen drops by about half. She then reaches for a capsule to use to catch Hamsaburou, but trips and knocks the cat off the table, breaking it. Later, while trying to rebuild it, she remakes the head from scratch, but can't remember its face, and gives it a face similar to that of Pikachu's, with a voice shouting "Pukka!"

===Books, comics, and manga===
* A ''{{wp|FoxTrot (comic strip)|FoxTrot}}'' [http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2011/04/03 comic strip from April 3, 2011] has Jason and Peter playing catch. After he tossed, Jason shouted "I choose you, {{p|Gigalith}}!" He later mentioned he had played a lot of Pokémon recently as Peter questions why the ball was shaking. This strip was released weeks after the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubblegum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.
* On the cover of the fourth issue of {{wp|Archie Comics}} third {{wp|Sabrina the Teenage Witch}} comic book series, Sabrina and her friend Chloe are playing a card game when bully Slugloaf walks by saying "Those [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|trading cards]] are so lame! There's no such thing as Pocket Monsters!" Sabrina magically makes a large monster appear from his back pocket in response.
* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of a certain {{pkmn|anime}} caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* Mangaka {{wp|Ume Aoki}} frequently represents herself in her works as "Ume-sensei", a crude chibi representation of herself dressed as a {{p|Metapod}}. Ume-sensei most notably appears in Aoki's famed manga ''{{wp|Hidamari Sketch}}''.
* In "What She Does Next Will Astound You", the third novel based on the BBC sci-fi drama {{wp|Class (2016 TV series)|Class}}, one of the dares on the website truthordare.com is to "play ''[[Pokémon GO]]'' underwater".
* In a ''{{wp|Zits}}'' [http://comicskingdom.com/zits/2015-05-22 comic from May 22, 2015], Jeremy asks his mother if she has seen his [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon cards]] and freaks out when she said she threw them out years ago. He tells her in the last panel that he and Pierce planned to ignite them.
* A ''{{wp|B.C. (comic strip)|B.C.}}'' [https://www.gocomics.com/bc/2018/10/06 strip from October 6, 2018] has a clairvoyant tell of various species going extinct. When he clarifies that it does not apply to all of them, the scene zooms out to show a {{p|Charizard}}.
* In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão".
** One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers. Another story is ''Pokecão'' (Globo's Mônica #167), where the character Glu accidentally ends up changing to resemble Pikachu after being struck by lightning in the tail. The story also features dogs parodying [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and a scene with the writers dressed as Pokémon.
** ''Avaturma'' (2011), a comic book story parodying ''{{wp|Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar}}'', includes several blue characters from games, movies, animated series, etc. {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Totodile}} are seen in this comic.
* In ''Solitaire'' by {{wp|Alice Oseman}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was played between the protagonist, Tori Spring, and her childhood friend, Lucas Ryan, when they were young. When they meet up many years later, they talk about how they use to play as an example of their lost connection.
* A {{wp|Donald Duck}} comic drawn by {{wp|Vicar (cartoonist)|Vicar}}, originally published on January 27, 2000 in Denmark as ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+99160&search= Kampkræene kommer]'' (''Battle Beasties'' in the English version), is a reference to Pokémon. In this story, {{wp|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} become fascinated by a new franchise called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment. Like Pokémon, this franchise includes video games, trading cards, and a TV show. They later discover that creatures are real and accidentally end up freeing them all over {{wp|Donald Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg}}. The story received a sequel on April 17, 2001, called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version). This story, possibly as a reference to [[Generation II]], introduced some creatures not seen in the first story. In some translations, including Italian and Portuguese, the creatures are referred to by titles more similar to Pokémon, like Kukemon and Bobomon.
* In chapter 980 of the {{wp|One Piece}} manga series, Eustass Kid is seen attacking Scratchmen Apoo with a large arm made of scrap metal. Two {{p|Meltan}} can be seen embedded in Kid's mechanical arm.

(Japanese: '''リント''' ''Rinto'') is a recurring character who appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

==History==
Rinto first appeared in [[JN051]]. He was first seen at [[Rock Tunnel]], watching the [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} between {{Ash}} and [[Genba]]. After seeing {{AP|Farfetch'd}} run off after defeating Genba's {{p|Gurdurr}}, Rinto spoke to Ash about Farfetch'd's huge potential. He then had a battle against Ash and Farfetch'd using his {{p|Gallade}} and won with just one move. Before he left, Rinto talked about the lack of synchrony between Ash and Farfetch'd and that he would like to battle Ash again when they became more in sync.

Rinto reappeared in [[JN060]], where Ash re-encountered him at the [[Vermilion City]] [[Pokémon Center]] and learned that he was also a [[World Coronation Series]] participant. He had only recently entered the competition when they first met and was in the Normal Class at the time, hence why Ash was unable to get an official battle notification back then. Now, however, he was in the Great Class like Ash, meaning they could have an official match. When Ash told Rinto about his and Farfetch'd's [[JN056|training]] with [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Hall of Chivalry]], Rinto revealed that he and Gallade had also trained there in the past.

Ash and Rinto chose to conduct their official [[rematch]] with the same Pokémon they used in their previous battle. During the match, Gallade sliced Farfetch'd's leek in two, but Ash improvised by having Farfetch'd mimic Wikstrom's {{p|Aegislash}} and use the remaining part of the leek as a shield. With this strategy, Farfetch'd was able to land several strong hits on Gallade and [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{AP|Sirfetch'd}} as a result. Rinto intentionally let Gallade take a hit from Sirfetch'd's {{m|Night Slash}} in order to activate Gallade's [[Ability]], {{a|Justified}}. However, despite the power boost provided by this Ability, Gallade was still defeated. Afterwards, Rinto admitted his defeat and that he too still had a lot to learn.

==Character==
Rinto is very observant and analytical, analyzing Ash's Farfetch'd and his battling style. Despite respecting other Trainers, Rinto acted with a certain amount of sarcasm towards Ash in his relationship with his Pokémon, such as ignoring Ash's presence and talking only to his opponent's Farfetch'd.

Cross-dressing

GrammarFreak01: /* Trivia */

[[File:Ashley.png|thumb|150px|Ash as Ashley]]
'''Ashley''' (Japanese: '''サトコ''' ''Satoko'') was the name {{Ash}} used when he {{wp|Cross-dressing|cross-dressed}} in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

Ash dressed up as Ashley when he was barred access to the [[Celadon Gym]] for insulting the perfume which the [[Gym]] was known for manufacturing. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} saw that he had been thrown out, and offered to help him get in the Gym with a disguise. He reluctantly agreed, and they dressed him up as a girl. As Ashley, Ash wore an orange frilly dress that had a pink ribbon in the back, a blonde wig with a pink ribbon and red high heels. They entered disguised as a family, with Ash playing the part of the daughter. He remained incognito for a while, even as {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} greeted him, but his cover was blown when {{AP|Pikachu}} recognized him. Ash tried to ignore Pikachu, but after he was hit with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, his wig disintegrated and his identity was revealed, much to a very angry [[Erika]]'s dismay. Ash would eventually get his Gym battle with Erika anyway, without the dress. Ash reused the name Ashley in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Since the incident, Ash has cross-dressed again in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'', ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', and ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]''.
* One of {{ga|Leaf}}'s default names in the original Japanese version of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as one of {{ga|Kris}}'s in {{game|Crystal}}, is Satoko, Ashley's Japanese name. The English equivalent, however, is "Jodi". This default name was used again for {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lyra}}, but its English equivalent is "Britney".

World Coronation Series

2021-03-21T08:05:40Z

GrammarFreak01: /* Registration */

[[File:World Coronation Series logo anime.png|thumb|200px|Logo]]
The '''Pokémon World Coronation Series''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンワールドチャンピオンシップス''' ''Pokémon World Championships'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive tournament. It is a competition held to determine the strongest {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the {{pkmn|world}}. It first appeared in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where the previous annual championship season ended. The current season started in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]''.

==Registration==
To compete in the tournament, participants must register themselves online first. The current season received more than 10,000 entrants.

Each entrant generates a profile and a score according to the registration position.

==Rules==
[[File:World Coronation Series ranks.png|thumb|250px|Ranks]]
Trainers are divided into four classes based on their win/loss ratio. Each class is represented by a different type of [[Poké Ball]]:

* '''Normal Class''' (ノーマルクラス ''Normal Class'')
* '''Great Class''' (スーパークラス ''Super Class'')
* '''Ultra Class''' (ハイパークラス ''Hyper Class'')
* '''Master Class''' (マスタークラス ''Master Class'')

The battles are all judged by the {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}}, which serves for each of them to increase their overall score. In the event of a draw, no change happens, regardless of the difference between the contestants' rankings. Trainers can only battle against other Trainers in the same class.

On occasion, one-day events called '''Battle Festival Challenges''' (Japanese: '''バトルフェス''' ''Battle Festivals'') are held where many participants can gather to compete with each other at will. These events are held at stadiums and other such venues, and are open for the public to watch.
{{-}}

===Normal Class===
[[File:JN018 Ash VS Visquez.png|thumb|250px|The scoreboard used during World Coronation Series matches]]
All first-time participants are automatically put into this class, regardless of any previous championships or statuses. The challenger must seek out opposing Trainers in nearby areas, and both must agree to battle.

Battles in Normal Class follow the following rules.

* Both challengers must be of the same class.
* Both challengers must send out their first Pokémon at the same time.
* It consists of battles with one or two Pokémon for each Trainer.
* Both challengers can switch their Pokémon at any time.

The class is represented by a normal {{i|Poké Ball}}.

===Great Class===
[[File:Shalour City Battle Festival Challenge.png|thumb|250px|The venue of the [[Shalour City]] Battle Festival Challenge]]
Trainers reach this class after Normal Class. They must be between 999th and 100th place to advance to Ultra Class. The battle rules remain the same as in the Normal Class.

The class is represented by a [[Great Ball]].

===Ultra Class===
Trainers reach this class after Great Class. They must be between 99th and ninth place to advance to Master Class.

The class is represented by an [[Ultra Ball]].

===Master Class===
[[File:Wyndon Stadium anime.png|thumb|250px|Wyndon Stadium]]
The Master Class consists of the eight Trainers who are at the top of the world ranking. They are called '''Masters Eight''' (Japanese: '''マスターズエイト''' ''Masters Eight'') and are certified by the '''Pokémon Battle Commission''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン・バトル・コミッション''' ''Pokémon Battle Commission''). They battle each other at the end of the season in a tournament where the winner becomes the '''Monarch''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|王者|おうじゃ}}''' ''Monarch''). The finals are held in a Single Battle at the [[Wyndon Stadium]], where techniques like [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] can be used.

Outside the tournament, a member of the Masters Eight may request a battle against the Monarch, where the championship title is put into play. This battle follows the same style used in the championship finals.

The class is represented by a [[Master Ball]].

List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation

2021-03-21T08:05:24Z

GrammarFreak01:

{{MissingInfo|2|enva|java}}
Even before the {{pkmn|games}}, '''alternately colored Pokémon''' have made occasional appearances in the {{pkmn|anime}}, with a [[pink Butterfree]] being one of the first to appear in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. Many alternately colored Pokémon appear in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga due to the setting's tropical climate. [[Shiny Pokémon]] began to make appearances in the anime during the [[Johto]] saga, after {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were released. What follows is a chronological list of alternately colored Pokémon that have appeared in the anime.

==List of Pokémon==
===Shiny Pokémon===
{{TrainerPoké

|desc={{AP|Noctowl}} was the very first Shiny Pokémon to appear in the anime. In ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]'', [[Dr. Wiseman]] was trying to capture this {{p|Noctowl}} using traps rather than [[Poké Ball]]s, but Noctowl outwitted him and escaped the traps each time — usually leaving him hypnotized in the process. After {{Ash}} rescued it from {{TRT}}, it challenged Ash to a battle wherein had {{AP|Pikachu}} battle it and he captured it, adding it to his team.}}

|desc=In ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'', [[Old Man Shuckle]] sought out this {{p|Shuckle}} for its ability to create a special juice that was necessary for a special medicine to ensure Pokémon obedience. However, {{TRT}} got hold of the Shuckle and drank its juice pure, which had the effect of making all nearby Pokémon obsessed with them. Old Man Shuckle was able to cure this by throwing a powder at them that apparently acted as an antidote.

None of Shuckle's moves are known.}}

After being forced to [[Evolution|evolve]] as a part of an experiment by [[Team Rocket]], this Gyarados went on rampage until Lance managed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. It was later used to help stop the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', it was used to battle [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]], where it was defeated, despite possessing both a type advantage and the ability to [[Dynamax]].}}

After a long battle, Magneton finished Pikachu off with a Tri Attack, then went on to defeat {{AP|Cyndaquil}} without a problem, before finally falling to {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

Magneton's known moves are {{m|Tri Attack}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Double Team}}.}}

After [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} had disbanded, James went after this Metagross, with the intention of presenting it to [[Giovanni (anime)|the boss]] and crediting the whole trio, believing the promise of success to be enough to bring Jessie and Meowth back. However, James was unaware that this particular Metagross was notorious for its vicious temperament and its reputation for injuring all challengers. Once Jessie learned that James was going after the Metagross, she and Meowth rushed to his aid. This was well-timed, as James, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} were all tied up by Carnivine's own vines, and about to be finished off, {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} came to the rescue, knocking Metagross into a canyon. Ultimately though, Metagross sent Team Rocket blasting off with a powerful Gyro Ball.

==Blurb==

As Ash and Paul’s epic battle continues, Ash finds himself with three Pokémon remaining, while Paul has only two. Ash certainly seems to have the advantage as his Gliscor takes out Paul’s Drapion—but then Paul’s Electivire makes short work of both Gliscor and Pikachu, leaving each Trainer with only a single Pokémon!

As the final face-off begins, Ash’s Infernape has taken quite a bit of damage from Toxic Spikes, while Electivire is relatively unscathed. But something new seems to have entered Ash and Paul’s rivalry: a mutual respect for each other’s skills. This new respect shows in the intensity of the action, which builds to the moment when it appears that Ash’s Infernape is about to go down.

Assuming Infernape is unable to battle, the Judge starts to call the match—until some taunting from both Paul and Electivire raise Infernape to levels of power and fighting spirit unlike anything we’ve seen! And, after Electivire throws one last Thunder Punch and Infernape counters with a powered-up Flare Blitz, both Pokémon remain standing briefly...until Electivire finally collapses, unable to battle. Ash and Infernape are declared the winners!

Afterward, Ash runs to find Paul as he’s leaving, and their respect for each other is obvious. Paul remarks on how powerful Ash’s Infernape has grown, and Ash surprises Paul by cheerfully inviting him to battle again soon. It’s a touching moment, capping a bout that will not be soon forgotten by anyone who witnessed it!

==Plot==
The [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] [[Full Battle]] between {{Ash}} and [[Paul]] rages on. {{AP|Gliscor}} dives towards {{p|Drapion}} with an {{m|X-Scissor}} attack at the ready. However, it is subsequently blocked by Drapion's {{m|Pin Missile}} at the last moment, sending Gliscor flying back and landing on the ground. When Paul instructs Drapion to use {{m|Cross Poison}}, Ash orders a {{m|Fire Fang}}. Gliscor dodges Drapion's attack and scores a direct hit, not only causing Drapion major damage, but also {{status|Burn|burning}} it. Paul is angry at once again being outmaneuvered, while Ash grits his teeth with confidence. From all the cumulative damage it's received, Drapion finally faints, thus leaving Paul with one final Pokémon. {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Barry}} cheer Ash on, but {{an|Brock}} is more cautious, and reminds them that Ash’s three remaining Pokémon have all taken significant damage, as opposed to Paul's final Pokémon who has yet to enter the battle.

Paul sends out his final Pokémon, {{TP|Paul|Electivire}}, the only Pokémon on Paul's current [[team]] that Ash has battled before. Ash knows that Gliscor is immune to Electivire's {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s, but is still concerned about leaving it in. However, Gliscor lets Ash know it can still battle, so Ash decides to leave it in. Paul has Electivire start by using {{m|Thunder}} and directing it into the ground. The electric charge breaks up the battlefield, causing the debris to fly high in the sky and fall onto Gliscor. Brock realizes that Paul thought of this strategy as a result of {{AP|Infernape}} using {{m|Flare Blitz}} underground earlier. Despite the damage this caused, Gliscor is still standing and replies with {{m|Giga Impact}}, though Electivire blocks the attack with its hands and tangles Gliscor with its tails. Ash, concerned at his Pokémon getting caught once again, commands Gliscor to escape, but Electivire's grip is just too tight for Gliscor to free itself from. Paul then tells Electivire to use {{m|Brick Break}}, and it lands on Gliscor's head, causing it to faint.

Ash recalls Gliscor and sends in Pikachu next. Barry thinks that Ash is planning to use Pikachu's speed to gain the advantage, but Brock says that this strategy will only work if Electivire’s {{a|Motor Drive}} [[Ability]] isn't activated by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt|Electric}} {{m|Volt Tackle|attacks}}, since a Pokémon with all of Electivire's power combined with so much speed would be a real threat to any opponent. Barry then says that Ash should be just fine as long as he avoids using any {{type|Electric}} moves. Paul rests on his laurels and has Electivire direct Thunder into the ground again, and the debris is sent flying towards Pikachu. However Pikachu is ready and uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to dodge the projectiles, even using some of them for momentum, much to Paul's shock, and lands a direct hit on Electivire's head. However, Electivire recovers and grabs Pikachu with its tails, leading [[Reggie]], watching the battle from [[Veilstone City]], to wonder why Ash keeps falling for the same trap over and over again, and that he might have some sort of plan.

Pikachu tries to escape using {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Electivire smashes him into the ground before he can do so. Pikachu manages to escape, and is commanded by Ash to counter Electivire's Brick Break with Quick Attack, causing a massive impact. Ash, wanting to go for broke, calls for {{m|Volt Tackle}}, causing Reggie and Barry to question why Ash is using an attack he know won't work. Paul allows the attack to hit, and it triggers Electivire’s Motor Drive Ability, giving it a speed boost. Paul tells Electivire to use {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and Electivire moves so fast that it can barely be seen and prepares to strike. However, Ash anticipated this in an effort to draw Electivire in, and has Pikachu collide with Iron Tail at the last moment. Paul then recounts his and Ash's [[DP003|first battle]] when Pikachu was battling {{p|Elekid}}, and knows that Ash had hoped to finish the battle the exact same way; by trapping it in close range, thus allowing him to finish it off with Iron Tail. But things are different this time, as Pikachu is stuck, and will be overpowered by Thunder Punch if he lets up at all. Meanwhile, Electivire, with one of its arms free, has another move it can use: Brick Break. Ash tells Pikachu to try and get away, but it's no use; Brick Break lands directly on Pikachu's head, sending him flying. Pikachu tries to get up, but ultimately faints.

Ash commends Paul on being able to come back from trailing three-to-five, but declares that he is the one who is going to win this battle, and sends out Infernape. Electivire and Infernape have a long standing rivalry, even from their days as {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Elekid}}, both under Paul’s ownership, and the time has finally come for them to face off and prove not only which of them is the better Pokémon, but also which of their Trainers is the better Trainer. However, while Electivire has only sustained some damage, Infernape has sustained significant damage from multiple battles, on top of still being {{status|Poison|poisoned}} from Drapion's {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, which means Paul has the upper hand.

Electivire starts things off with a Thunder Punch, and Infernape counters with {{m|Mach Punch}}, which collide and neutralize each other. Infernape tries for a {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is blocked by Electivire's {{m|Protect}}. Electivire uses {{m|Thunder}} to create a [[Counter Shield]] around the battlefield, but Infernape {{m|Dig}}s underground and avoids the attack, before resurfacing below Electivire and hitting it dead-on. Infernape then takes damage from Poison, before Electivire gets back on its feet. After another blocked Flamethrower, Infernape and Electivire exchange a fury of Mach and Thunder Punches, respectively. They each land an attack before yet another Flamethrower by Infernape is blocked by Electivire's Protect. Ash instructs Infernape to use another Mach Punch, but Electivire dodges and ensnares Infernape's arm with one of its tails, causing Reggie to criticize Ash for falling in that trap once again. Electivire then unleashes a Thunder, causing Infernape so much damage that it collapses to the ground, seemingly [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

The [[battle judge|referee]] begins to declare Infernape out of the match, though Electivire interrupts him, knowing that Infernape still has the ability to fight and wants to finish the battle properly. Electivire is proven right as Infernape starts to get up, and Paul tells it that it's pathetic for going down this easily, like always, and turns his head in skepticism. However, Infernape suddenly regains its senses, and Ash tells a surprised Paul that this battle isn't over yet. Infernape stands and returns with a vengeance, activating its {{a|Blaze}} Ability. This makes Reggie realize that Ash let Paul trap his Pokémon on purpose, to give him a false sense of security and provoke him to attack Infernape to the point of activating Blaze. Ash orders a Flamethrower, and Infernape fires a super-powerful blast at Electivire. Electivire tries to hold it back with Thunder, but it can't stand up to the sheer power.

Ash then has Infernape use Mach Punch, which hits and sends Electivire flying back. Knowing their Pokémon are now at their limits, they get ready to finish it; Paul shouts for a Thunder Punch, while Ash orders a {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The two Pokémon, battling like they've never battled before, land their attacks on each other, creating a maelstrom of fire and electricity streaming into the sky, illuminating the stadium. Infernape pushes itself further and ends the exchange, feeling the [[recoil]] from Flare Blitz. After a delayed reaction, Electivire feels the explosive force of Infernape's Flare Blitz, throwing up a thick blanket of smoke. The smoke clears and reveals Electivire still standing, and the two Pokémon and their Trainers stare each other down. The two Pokémon remain perfectly still, until Electivire finally falls and is declared unable to battle, awarding Ash the victor of this truly intense battle.

Dawn, Piplup and Barry scream out in elation for Ash's victorious win over Paul while Brock is overwhelmingly pleased. {{TRT}} are thrilled Ash won, leaving [[Jessie]] happy and [[James]] in tears. Then, they remembered they accidentally ate all the food they were supposed to be selling while watching the battle. Paul thanks Electivire for its hard work before recalling it to its Ball. As Paul is about to say something, Infernape almost falls from sheer exhaustion but is caught by Ash. Paul walks away relieved as the pairings for the semi-finals are revealed, showing that Ash's next opponent will be the mysterious {{si|Tobias}} and his powerful {{p|Darkrai}}. From the stands, Tobias sees that he'll be facing Ash and walks away unconcerned. Back in [[Veilstone City]], Reggie delivers the news to Paul's other Pokémon of their Trainer's loss. All are sad, until Reggie tells them that when Paul returns home soon they'll all get to battle again.

Later, Brock and Dawn are walking outside and run into Barry, where they are all looking for Ash. Then, {{an|Cynthia}} comes forward, and Barry is awestruck at being face-to-face with the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Cynthia explains that although Ash and Paul are very different people, all their time feuding and battling with each other has created a bond between them that can never be broken. She captures the moment with a quote from the [[Sinnoh]] time-space legend: ''"When every life meets another life, something will be born."'' Cynthia finishes by telling everyone that she is eager for the day when Ash or Paul make it all the way to the Champion League so she could face them in battle properly.

Paul is about to leave [[Lily of the Valley Island]] when Ash calls out to him. Paul finally admits that Infernape is strong, and Ash accepts the compliment before asking if Paul is leaving already, which Paul confirms as there is no reason to stay. He will be heading back to [[Snowpoint City]] to request another battle with {{an|Brandon}}. Ash wishes him good luck with that, while Paul wishes Ash all the best in the rest of the tournament. Paul turns to leave, and Ash tells Paul he'd like to battle again one day. Paul signals a goodbye to him, letting Ash know that he has earned his respect and bringing their long-standing rivalry to an end. As Paul leaves, Ash turns his focus to his next opponent, Tobias.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]] isn't shown at the end of the episode. Instead, a preview from the upcoming ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' was shown.
* [[Type: Wild]], the instrumental version of [[A Small Thing]], and music from ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' were used in this episode.
* As of this episode, this is the first time that a single {{pkmn|battle}} has spanned more than two consecutive episodes.
** The battle also had the most Pokémon affected with [[status condition]]s ever in just one battle in the {{pkmn|anime}}, with two Pokémon getting {{status|burn}}ed, five being {{status|poison}}ed and two (counting {{AP|Buizel}}'s Ice Aqua Jet) being {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.
* This battle could be considered the "inverse" of [[DP131|Ash and Paul]]'s [[DP132|first Full Battle]]. In that battle, four of Paul's Pokémon scored victories, with one knocking out three of Ash's Pokémon and the other three knocking out one each. In this battle, four of ''Ash's'' Pokémon scored victories, with one knocking out three of Paul's Pokémon and the other three knocking out one each. Only two of Paul's Pokémon scored victories this time, like how only two of Ash's Pokémon scored victories in their first Full Battle.
** Additionally, with the exception of {{AP|Torterra}}, every one of Ash's Pokémon who didn't score a knockout in the first battle did score one in this battle.

===Errors===
* In the scene right after Ash commands Gliscor to use Fire Fang, the normally red part of Gliscor's ear is purple.
* When Gliscor gets caught by Electivire, Barry says "I can't believe Gliscor's caught again!" although Gliscor had not been trapped at all before during the battle.
* When the electric explosion from Pikachu hitting Electivire with Volt Tackle occurs, on the scoreboard, there is a {{p|Mismagius}} silhouette in place of Buizel's.
** This error can be seen again later when Infernape and Electivire collide with Flare Blitz and Thunder Punch, respectively.
* When Pikachu uses Volt Tackle on Electivire, he suffers from [[Recoil|recoil damage]] even though said damage is nullified when the move causing it is ineffective against the target.
* When Electivire finishes using Thunder on Infernape, the normally red part of Electivire's tail is pink.
* When Infernape uses Mach Punch on Electivire while Blaze is active, for a split second, Infernape looks as if it doesn't have its Blaze active.
* In ''[[DP185|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', the announcer declared Paul and Ash's match the first match of the quarter-finals, and all of the quarter-final, semi-final, and final matches are fought on the same field. Yet at the end of the match, the pairings for the semi-finals are already revealed on screen without scheduling.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]], Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Tackle}}, a move Pikachu [[Anime move errors|cannot learn naturally]]. The narrator names the move, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, correctly, however.

===Dub edits===
* [[Type: Wild]] was replaced in the English dub with an instrumental of [[This is the Moment]] while another instrumental replaced the instrumental of [[A Small Thing]].
* In the English dub, after Electivire knocks out Pikachu, Brock says Electivire was just a little bit stronger. In the original Japanese version, he was talking about Paul instead.
* In the English dub, Brock talks about how Reggie described Ash and Paul's similar goals and differing methods. In the original Japanese version, Brock adds that Ash and Paul now respect each other.
* In the English dub, Paul says that Infernape is pathetic like always. In the original Japanese version, he tells Infernape to stop disappointing him over and over again.
* In the original Japanese version, while he is walking up to Infernape after the battle, Paul starts to say "You've gotten stronger" when Infernape starts to collapses. In the English dub, he just says the word "well" before he is startled by Infernape's collapse.
* In the English dub, Reggie tells Paul's Pokémon that the Trainer will be back soon, and that they will then get to battle him soon. In the original Japanese version, he says they will get to battle with Paul again soon.

==Blurb==

Ash lost his first Battle Tower challenge, but he won't give up. He's out practicing with his team the next day, until Tauros stirs up a Beedrill nest that even Anabel can't calm them down. Both Anabel and Ash end up in the lake, but at least they see the funny side of it all. Below them, Team Rocket tries to burrow their way to Pikachu, but they find Munchlax instead. Undaunted, they bring out a giant Wobbuffet device to assist in their scheme, but all it takes is a Tackle from May's Eevee to puncture that plan.

With Team Rocket out of the way, Ash challenges Anabel again. Both Trainers use the same teams as before, but this time Ash plans to get the best out of his Pokémon. Corphish is confused by Alakazam's Psybeam during their rematch, but Ash recalls it to its Poké Ball to cure the confusion, then sends it back out. Corphish wins the battle, but it's tired out and Anabel's Metagross knocks it out in one hit. Then Ash's Tauros has a head-on battle with Metagross that ends in a double knockout!

Now it's time for one of Anabel's favorite Pokémon, Espeon! Pikachu is fast, but so is Espeon. Things are going well for Anabel until Pikachu's attack accidentally shorts out the lights, startling Espeon. With Espeon rattled, Pikachu finishes the battle and wins Ash the Ability Symbol! Now it's time for the location of the seventh and final challenge, the Battle Pyramid, to be revealed—it's near Pewter City, so there's a homecoming for Brock to look forward to as well!

==Plot==
At the [[Pokémon Center]], the day after {{Ash}}'s defeat at the hands of {{tc|Tower Tycoon|Salon Maiden}} [[Anabel]], Ash decides that he wants to challenge Anabel again, this time without using just brute strength and power. Ash gets straight into {{pkmn|training}} with a morning run with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They move on to practicing their attacks on a nearby tree; {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Tauros}} uses {{m|Take Down}}, and {{AP|Corphish}} uses {{m|Crabhammer}}. While the attacks prove powerful, Ash accidentally disturbs a swarm {{p|Beedrill}} in the tree. The swarm pursues Ash and his team, who run into Anabel. Ash asks if she could calm them down, but Anabel claims that she is unable to do so when they attack in a swarm like that. Tauros soon gets stung from behind by the Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack, sending him into a rampage from the pain before colliding with Ash, Anabel and the other Pokémon off into a lake. Immediately afterwards, Ash and Anabel start laughing at the crazy scenario. Ash decides to clean Tauros up before any kind of battle and Anabel offered to help. During the course, Anabel, Ash, and Corphish begin to play around in the river by splashing water.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} has dug a tunnel underneath the [[twerp]]s, trying to catch Pikachu. Unfortunately for them, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} was right above them, causing the ground to collapse on top of them. The trio quickly get to their feet and throw away their plans to capture Pikachu when they see the group's food. After being caught stealing the food and accused of being there for Pikachu, they realized that Munchlax had run off with the food. In a rage, Team Rocket reveals a giant inflatable {{p|Wobbuffet}}. {{an|May}} sends out her {{TP|May|Eevee}} to use {{m|Tackle}} on the mecha. Team Rocket, thinking it wouldn't do a thing, laughs at Eevee's attempts. However, {{MTR}} sees that Eevee has managed to pop a hole in the infltable, which soon deflates, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

Inspired by Anabel's ability to talk to Pokémon through telepathy, May lets out her {{TP|May|Combusken}}, saying that they should all try to give commands to their Pokémon through telepathy. Ash agrees and gets down to Corphish's level, telling Corphish to use {{m|Harden}} with his mind. However, Corphish becomes nervous and frustrated, as does Combusken, leading Ash and May to give up. Ash asks Anabel how she was able to communicate that way, to which Anabel replies that she didn't quite know herself. She reveals that she has always been able to use telepathy to talk to Pokémon and plants since she was young. Anabel tells Ash to try to sense what was in her heart; however, Ash is unable to. Anabel reassures him that it really didn't matter.

Later that day, Ash is ready and raring to battle Anabel the second time. The match starts off with {{p|Alakazam}} versus Ash's Corphish, who begins with a Crabhammer attack. Anabel fights using her mind right from the start, commanding Alakazam to use {{m|Focus Punch}}. The attacks collide, and neither Pokémon is injured. Ash counters with a {{m|Bubble Beam}}, to which Alakazam uses {{m|Psybeam}}, which collide for an explosive effect. Ash isn't deterred and orders Corphish use {{m|Vise Grip}}; however, Anabel has Alakazam use {{m|Psychic}} to throw Corphish backwards. Corphish, despite being in mid-air, is able to use Bubble Beam, which successfully strikes Alakazam. Anabel isn't fazed and calls for Alakazam to use {{m|Recover}}, helping it reclaim some of its energy. Without giving an inch, Ash has Corphish use Crabhammer, which Anabel counterattacks with Focus Punch. However, Corphish dodges the Focus Punch and slams its Crabhammer attack into Alakazam's jaw. Alakazam used Psybeam again, confusing Corphish. Luckily for Ash, Corphish is still able to use Crabhammer and use it well. Immediately, Ash recalls Corphish, snapping it out of confusion, and throws Corphish right back onto the field, where it instantly uses Bubble Beam and knocks out Alakazam. Anabel's next Pokémon is her {{p|Metagross}}. Corphish uses Bubble Beam, but Metagross evades the attack and slams into Corphish with a {{m|Meteor Mash}}, knocking Corphish out.

Despite the type-disadvantage, Ash sends out his Tauros. Tauros' first attack is Take Down, to which Metagross counters with {{m|Iron Defense}}. Ash then calls for Tauros to use {{m|Horn Attack}} and Anabel has Metagross counter with Meteor Mash. Tauros is able to dodge Meteor Mash and slam his horn into Metagross' underside, sending it flying. However, Metagross uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, sweeping through Ash's {{m|Double Team}} counter-offensive eventually striking the real Tauros. Tauros, however, makes a quick recovery and retaliates with Horn Attack, striking Metagross due to the delay as it recovers from its earlier Hyper Beam. Finally, Metagross is able to use Meteor Mash, which Tauros tries to counter with Take Down. The attacks collide and both Pokémon are faint.

Anabel's final Pokémon is {{p|Espeon}}, and Ash's chooses his Pikachu. Pikachu starts off by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, to which Espeon dodges and strikes back with its own Quick Attack. Pikachu tries an Iron Tail attack, but Espeon intercepts with an Iron Tail of its own and manages to overpower its opponent. Pikachu follows up with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, Espeon's {{m|Zap Cannon}} proves too much for the Thunderbolt to take, and Pikachu is sent flying back by the attack. Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt once again. Espeon jumps out of the way before using Psychic to slam Pikachu into the ceiling. Pikachu recovers quickly and uses Quick Attack. Espeon repeats its last attack and sends Pikachu back into the ceiling. This time, however, Pikachu is able to compose himself and bounce off the ceiling and onto one of the lights. The proceeding Thunderbolt knocks out the Battle Tower's power, making the whole field go pitch black. Once again, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, landing his first hit on Espeon. Espeon uses Zap Cannon, forcing the electricity back. Pikachu dodges the attack and jumps from light to light, avoiding all the Zap Cannons thrown at him. Espeon is unable to relax, making all mental communication null and void. Again, Espeon is hit with a Thunderbolt. When the lights come back on, Espeon is hit again with Iron Tail. Without wasting any time, Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Espeon tries to counterattack with Zap Cannon, but it simply flies off Pikachu. Espeon is struck down by Pikachu's Volt Tackle, making Ash the victor and earning him the Ability Symbol. After shaking Anabel's hand, Ash and friends make their way towards the next facility, the [[Battle Pyramid]], located near [[Pewter City]], for Ash's final Symbol. Anabel blushes, holding onto the hand Ash had just shaken.

[[File:Spurt - Brains Lineup 6.jpg|thumb|230px|Anabel in the opening credits]]
* [[Anabel]] is added to the opening of the Japanese version.
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a play on the phrase "third time's the charm".
* In the Japanese version, orchestral music plays as {{Ash}}, his Pokémon, and Anabel are running from the Beedrill.
* Just after {{AP|Corphish}} lands a direct hit on Alakazam with {{m|Crabhammer}}, Ash recalls it to cure its {{status|confusion}} and then immediately sends it back out, something [[Anime physics|not possible in the games]].
* {{p|Espeon}} keeps its Japanese voice in the English dub of this episode, so it says ''Eifie'', its Japanese name, every time it speaks.
* Anabel is yet another girl with a [[AbilityShipping|crush]] on Ash. This is founded on Anabel's thoughts as Ash leaves: "Guess you can't sense feelings yet, Ash, or you would have sensed my feelings for you." (Japanese: {{j|最後までボクの気持ちは読めなかったね、サトシ？}} "You weren't able to read my heart after all, were you, Satoshi?").
* {{so|Battle Frontier}} is used as background music from when Pikachu blows out all of the lights until the end of the battle.

===Errors===
* For a split-second, when Ash and Anabel are washing {{AP|Tauros}}, the lines around its eyes are thicker than usual.
* Anabel says that {{AP|Corphish}} told her that it had not swam for a while, but it swam the day before when it was helping Anabel and Pikachu.
* Alakazam attempts to hit confused Corphish with {{m|Focus Punch}} using its right hand, but after Corphish counters, Alakazam's left hand glows instead.

===Dub edits===
* While Team Rocket is eating Ash and his friends' food, James mentions curry rice in the original Japanese version. In the English dub, he just says he like good food.

==Blurb==

There's a legend out there, about a Sea Temple created by the People of the Water, where the Sea Crown is kept. No one has ever seen this Sea Crown, and very few people even know the story of the temple, except a few members of the People of the Water who wander through the Pokémon world. That all changes when a Pokémon Ranger named Jackie rescues a Manaphy Egg from a greedy pirate named Phantom! Phantom is absolutely determined to snatch the Sea Crown, and he'll need Manaphy to get to it. To stay one step ahead, Jackie will need to enlist the help of the People of the Water.

A chance encounter with the People of the Water puts Ash, May and friends right in the thick of the action, and May forms a very special bond with the Legendary Manaphy, even as the specter of Phantom hovers ever closer! Together, they must find the Sea Temple before Phantom does, unlocking the secret that connects Manaphy and the Sea Temple!

==Plot==
A mysterious {{pkmn|Egg}} floats by in the ocean teeming with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It glides along the water, going through a school of {{p|Remoraid}}, past a few {{p|Clamperl}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, and whatnot. The Egg finally settles down as a group of {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Chinchou}} have a look. Suddenly, the school of fishlike Pokémon swim away as spotlights shine upon the Egg. Above the water, three helicopters hover low over the surface, scanning the Egg. Confirmation of the "treasure" is relayed to a large submarine underwater; where aboard [[Captain Phantom]] of the Phantom Troop executes his plan to secure the Egg. His {{p|Chatot}} flies onto the shoulder of the Captain's right-hand man, squawking the Captain's words.

Once the submarine gets close enough, a mechanical arm goes out to encase the Egg in a glass case and brings it back. With the operation a success, Captain Phantom heads down to the room where the Egg sits on a stand, still encased by the glass container. He marvels at his prize, and just before he could grab it, one of his pirates snatches it. Angered by the traitor, the Captain sends his men after him, but the mysterious traitor dodges their lunges, also correcting the Captain by revealing that he wasn't actually aligned with Phantom to begin with and thus wasn't actually a traitor. Escaping down a corridor, he is sandwiched at either end. Fortunately, there is a ladder on a vertical conveyor that he uses to escape. Getting to a higher floor, he jumps off the ladder, kicking the guardrail so that his pursuers can't find a way up without bumping their head on it. He makes a quick stop to the mess hall kitchen. While securing the Egg in a carrying bag, he makes contact with his "mission coordinator", [[Judy]], to tell her he's secured the Egg. But just as he was ending the transmission, the pirates found him and began surrounding him. The man makes his move by jumping on pots, landing in a way that they fly onto the heads of the others as he makes his escape. On his way out, he pours a sack of potatoes onto the floor to keep the ones behind him busy.

Finding his way outside, the mystery man finds himself yet again chased down by the persistent crew of the submarine. He runs to the other side of the sub, jumping over a trapdoor that was opening to reveal Captain Phantom. The man reaches the bow of the submarine, finding himself trapped. The Captain releases a {{p|Pinsir}} and a {{p|Parasect}} and demands his name and threatens him to return the Egg, otherwise his Pokémon will attack. The man introduces himself as [[Jack Walker|Jack "Jackie" Walker]]. He jumps up to the roof of the front part of the sub, just barely avoiding Pinsir's attack. At the very edge of the boat, he finds a few {{p|Mantine}} swimming about, feeling lucky they followed. Pulling out a [[Capture Styler]], he manages to catch a Mantine just before Captain Phantom makes his way on top. Phantom threatens Jackie to return the Egg shortly before Jackie jumps off the boat, landing on the Mantine and escapes with it using {{m|Confuse Ray}} before {{m|Dive|diving}} into the ocean. Angry, Phantom tells Pinsir to use a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the water, but by the time, Jackie swims off with the captured Mantine to safety. Pinsir and Parasect are obviously dazed, and Chatot is flying in circles. Nonetheless, Phantom deduces Walker's ties to the {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} organization with bemusement.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are traveling down a bright road. It's very hot and everyone is sweaty, tired, and desperate to find shelter. But where they're traveling on is nothing more than a dirt road with an expansive grass field and just a tree here and there. They're lost, and Max's [[PokéNav]] can't get a signal from their current location. Max stops to ask May for some water as he ran out. May gives her thermos to Max, who finds out that it's empty as well. Both collapse in shock while Ash looks back. He sees a ball of water floating in the distance, and is a bit confused before he mentions "Water". Max and May both perk up to see before Max begins running off towards where the water ball's direction.

They come across what appears to be several water balls, with {{type|Water}} Pokémon in them, and in the middle of it all stands a female teenager. Max goes up to her and asks if he can have some water, to which she gives permission. Max then goes to a nearby water ball and begins sucking some water from it, but a {{p|Gorebyss}} pokes Max away. The rest of the group comes by, and the teenager asks who they are. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} introduce themselves, except Brock who takes a good look at her and finally declares out that the teenager is [[Lizabeth]]. Brock then gets his little book of women he admires out and then pulls up Lizabeth's page. He explains that Lizabeth and her family run a traveling outside circus show with water Pokémon. {{AP|Pikachu}} wanders off a bit to find a {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Medicham}} duo with a couple of {{p|Poliwag}} and a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. They greet Pikachu with the water Pokémon {{m|Water Gun|shooting some water out}} while the Meditite and Medicham use {{m|Psychic}} to form it into a Pikachu-shaped figure. The group understands how the water balls are formed.

Several people soon come out of the trailer, wondering who Ash and company were. Lizabeth says that they're acquaintances and are just looking for some water. They all introduce themselves, the family of performers that runs the circus. The mother is [[Meredith]], the father is {{OBP|Kyle|M09}}, and the grandfather is [[Shep]]. They also have a clown who just joined them recently. May comments on how young Meredith looks, thinking she was Lizabeth's older sister. Meredith laughs and accidentally smacks May on her head a little too hard, causing her to collapse.

Inside the trailer, Max enjoys a glass of water. Afterward, a friendly {{p|Buizel}} comes by to play with him for a bit. As the others discuss things, May notices the Buizel hopping up to a bunk bed, going up to the top bunk where a canister lays. It presses a button and it clears up, revealing the mysterious Egg from before. May stares at it for a while before Kyle comes by and closes the curtain that was partially covering the bunk before excusing himself. To lighten up the mood, Lizabeth invites everyone to a free show they'll be performing in the next town. Everyone is happy to accept.

The show starts off with one large sphere of water being created, as a {{p|Seaking}} and {{p|Dewgong}} are let inside. Then the Meditite and Medicham then split the sphere into two, and soon Kyle and Meredith join in the act by diving in. Several more spheres are created with an assortment of Water Pokémon getting inside them. Lizabeth jumps in and rides the Dewgong to the top, clearing out and then jumping back in. Meanwhile, the clown walks around, wearing a {{p|Sharpedo}} get-up. As he's juggling a few balls, a group of {{p|Goldeen}} in small water spheres come near him. He uses the Sharpedo costume to "eat" the Goldeen, but then acts out as if he has indigestion and the Goldeen pop out on the other side. The group was watching from the trailer nearby, and soon they were pushed into water spheres of their own, with everything combining into one. Then the Meditite and Medicham began surrounding the large water sphere with energy, before it exploded into steam, with the performing family and the group at the bottom, and all the water Pokémon in their own bubbles, ending the show.

The Buizel was busy in the trailer, finding his way up to the bunk with the [[Egg case]]. He takes a look at it again before it tips it over the edge. Grabbing it, he also tries to save himself before falling over onto the floor. He carries the case between the trailer and the circus-style decorated vehicle up front. May happens to be there when she spots Buizel, and sees the case once again. Up on the rooftops however, are [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]], spying on what the group and the circus troupe were up to. James happens to notice the case only for a split moment until the clown comes by to take it away from Buizel, and then leaves without a word, giving it to Lizabeth who then puts it upon a shelf, and closes a curtain around it.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth relax at a fountain, when Jessie and Meowth notice James looking at a "Team Rocket Magazine". James mentions he saw the circus crew having an object he found in the magazine. And then he finds the page with a picture of the Egg and Captain Phantom. They plan on following the trailer, and will eventually make their attack. After the troupe packs up, the group is invited to ride along until the next town, since it's a mountainous region. They take the offer and are soon off. As they pass by, the Team Rocket trio hides out in an alley. James is attempting to make a call to Phantom, but had to cut the line when they realize they can just hitchhike on the troupe's trailer.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Buizel walked about the trailer, finding the shelf where the Egg case was. He climbed up and presses the button, revealing the Egg once again. Moonlight shines through it and it begins to glow red. The light shines upon May, which creates a dream of her being in an undersea world. Numerous water Pokémon swim by her before a mysterious one suddenly swims up to her. It was small, and looked very friendly and playful. Then up ahead, May could see what looked like an underwater palace surrounded by a bubble. The mysterious Pokémon soon swims past her and she yells for it to wait. At that moment, she wakes up, still yelling before noticing where she was. Lizabeth is sitting nearby wondering what happened before telling her good morning.

The trailer stops at a nearby river in a mountainous region for a late breakfast. A table is set up outside near the river and they enjoy their meal of Italian dishes. During the meal May talks about her mysterious dream last night, mentioning seeing a Pokémon she never saw before and a strange palace under the sea. Mysterious as it sounded to Ash and the others, the circus crew seemed to act out as if it was mysterious too. Then Lizabeth and Minamo reveal that they have had the same dream as well, and it's related to a legend, but Shep tells them to not tell right now. As they begin packing up after the meal, Jessie, James, and Meowth make their move. Jessie successfully finds the Egg after looking around in the trailer. But as they gather to get a closer look, the Egg begins to glow. A beam of red lightning trails out and passes through each of their heads. When the odd experience ends, the group finds themselves have their bodies swapped, with Jessie as Meowth, Meowth as James and James as Jessie.

They continue to freak out about the swapping of minds until everyone comes back from their meal. They spot the Team Rocket members just as they leave. They begin to recite their {{motto}}, but end with a feeling that it doesn't feel right since their bodies are switched. They make a run for it with the Egg with Ash following them. But before Ash can reach them, they escape to a [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], with a cycle driven propeller. They make their getaway and Ash was about to have Pikachu take them down with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the clown suddenly comes up telling him to stop. If the balloon blows up, it'll damage the Egg. He takes out a Capture Styler from his pocket and finds a nearby {{p|Fearow}}. He uses it to catch the Fearow to pursue Team Rocket. Just as Fearow takes off, Pikachu hops on Fearow's back and the two Pokémon soon catch up. Pikachu lands on the cycling mechanism in front and begins sparking up. Then it snags the Egg and drops down, landing on Fearow. The bird Pokémon then flies up, threatening to poke the balloon as the Rockets panic, wanting the James Meowth to do something but he can't, and the Fearow {{m|peck}}s at the balloon, sending the Rockets away.

Fearow delivers Pikachu back to Ash, with May, Max, Brock, and Lizabeth nearby. Lizabeth takes the Egg case away before the clown shows up. Ash recognized the Capture Styler he used, and concludes he must be a Pokémon Ranger. The clown nods before taking off his disguise to reveal that was Jackie. Jackie shows the group the Egg when things finally settle down, but his cover was compromised, as Team Rocket figured out about the Egg. But just as they were about to head back, several helicopters begin to show up on the horizon. And upon closer inspection, those helicopters bore the Phantom Troop's insignia. Jackie warns them of who they are and begins to make a run for it in a rocky path. Captain Phantom releases two {{p|Beedrill}} to chase after them, and soon the group is making an attempt to run. They split up in order to split their pursuers up, with Ash following Jackie, and Max, May, Brock, and Lizabeth taking another route. Along the path Ash and Jackie take, Captain Phantom jumps down from his chopper and proceeds to chase after them. At some point, Jackie covers the Egg case with a towel and along with Ash, goes behind a rock just before the Captain could make it. Jackie is seen running off with the towel, and the Captain begins chasing after him. But Ash sneaks off in the other direction with the Egg.

Meanwhile Max and May split up from Brock and Lizabeth. Eventually Max and May cross paths with Ash, only to find that the Captain's right hand man was right behind them with a Beedrill. The Beedrill attacks with {{m|Pin Missile}}, Pikachu countering with Thunderbolt. Then the three try to escape, but Beedrill uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to block their path. Ash decides to stay behind to take care of the Beedrill, while May and Max run off with the Egg. Meanwhile, Captain Phantom manages to catch up with Jackie, only to have Jackie reveal that what he was carrying was a pair of juggling balls. He throws one at Phantom, in which he smacks it towards a nearby cliff wall. The ball simply bounces back and smacks Phantom in his face. Taking advantage of the odd but fortunate turn of things, Jackie runs off, jumping on a boulder. But somehow Phantom begins picking it up, and tosses it. Jackie jumps off however, but the Captain isn't interested in him anymore and begins searching for the Egg.

Max and May find themselves at split in their path, hoping that everyone is okay. Suddenly the Captain appears from behind and tries to pry the Egg case from May's hands. As May struggles to keep a grip, Max jumps on Phantom, stretching out his mouth. But Phantom pulls on the lid, and soon it pops off, sending the Egg flying. May drops the case and dives in to catch the Egg, but during the conflict the Egg begins to shine. Then the entire Egg glows white before two antennae come out, and when the glow fades away, {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} is finally born. It opens its eyes to see May, but begins crying. May tries to calm the newly born Manaphy while the Captain is disappointed that he wasn't the one to hatch Manaphy. But even so, he's not about to give up that easily and begins to make his move. Jackie comes in time to keep Phantom busy enough for Ash, May, and Max to escape. Jackie follows shortly afterwards and the four find the trailer (which Brock and Lizabeth managed to get back to beforehand). Jackie stays behind as the others get on to ambush Phantom to delay him once more.

The trailer takes off, leaving everyone to wonder about Manaphy. It falls asleep in May's lap, happy and peacefully. Meredith tries holding it in order to give May a break, but as soon as she held it, Manaphy began crying. After Meredith gave Manaphy back to May, it stopped crying and was happy once again. They begin to wonder if Manaphy has imprinted May as its mother, considering that it was the first thing it saw. However, Phantom is once more on their tail, and two helicopters launch grappling rods to keep themselves affixed and to slow the trailer down. Shep comes in from the front car, telling the others inside to get in. Meredith first goes in; helping May so she doesn't fall. Brock then steps out to help Lizabeth, followed by Max and Ash. Shep gets out last as he unlatches the trailer. This sends the helicopters flying backwards, momentarily losing control as the trailer careens off a cliff. The choppers manage to cut their grappling lines and regain control.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth wake up from after crashing. They find themselves on top of a ruin. Jessie mentions having a weird "dream" that she was Meowth; the Meowth mentions that he was James, and James mentions he was Jessie. They suddenly realize that it wasn't a dream and that Pokémon Egg must've done something. The find {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} standing on the edge, "agreeing" with the weird occurrences that happened. But they soon see the circus crew pulling up to the ruin. After everyone gets out, the Phantom Troop soon arrives. Jessie, James, and Meowth decide to try to get Phantom to "recruit" them so that they can let Phantom do all the work in getting the Egg, and they'll steal it at an opportune time.

The group heads down into the ruins, deeper until they reach what appears to be a dead end. Shep holds a bracelet of seashells near a gem in the end wall. It glows to resemble a combination lock. He slides it to the right combination and a door opens up. Kai asks everyone if they have water Pokémon, since they'll be traveling down a canal. A few minutes later, Phantom steps down into the ruins, coming across the same dead end. However Phantom knows of this somehow and he pulls out a similar bracelet from his pocket. To his disappointment however, he comes across the canal, but there's no way for him to go. Getting back to the surface, Phantom finds the Rocket Trio washing his helicopter. After asking what they were doing and wanted, Jessie, James, and Meowth offer their cleaning services to Phantom, to which he promptly refuses. However, with stubbornness, they get to go along with Phantom as cleaners.

As the group swims down the canal, Manaphy is enjoying its time in the water. They soon come up to another wall, in which is decorated with murals that tell a legend. Shep explains that there was once Ocean Temple named [[Samiya]] where water Pokémon and the "People of the Water" had resided, and where a "King of the Sea" lived. However, evil spirits began invading, and so the king used his power to protect the temple, encasing it in a bubble and taking it below the ocean. Although normally it cannot be seen by the naked eye, during a {{wp|lunar eclipse}} the moon will glow red for a brief period and Samiya will be visible. But they have to get to the temple before the next lunar eclipse occurs on a few days. Manaphy is this "Prince of the Sea", and has a homing device of sorts that will lead it to the temple's current location. So Shep plans on leading them to a port town, where he'll have a boat waiting to take Manaphy to Samiya. As the group further reaches the exit, Jackie requests that Ash and his friends don't come along with him further, and that May leaves Manaphy with him. He says this journey is too dangerous for them, and that this is a Pokémon Ranger's job.

Meanwhile, Phantom tries to find a possible idea to where the group could've gone. But as his right hand man attempts to map out the route, the canal suddenly branches off into many different paths. It'll take a little while to out where they've gone.

The group reaches a port town, where they wait for a while as Shep's boat comes along. They take a moment to rest and enjoy ice cream. Manaphy is now asleep in a bassinet, probably tired after all the swimming. Shep quickly finishes his cone as he spots his ship coming in, and warns the others that it's arrived. At the port, three of [[Shep's shipmates|Shep's old shipmates]], Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu, step out to greet their old friend, and they want to go with Shep on the expedition to Samiya (though he doesn't tell them that specifically). Shep introduces the group to his old shipmates, as he used to be an avid adventurer of the seas in his boat, the Blue Lagoon. However, Shep only takes his family, Jackie, and Manaphy along. May is upset at this, but she knows that it's for the better that Manaphy gets released. Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu encourage May to stop them so she could get on, and Ash, not willing to put off an adventure like this, also joins in with May to stop the boat.

Manaphy on board soon wakes up and Jackie tries to comfort it. But it soon shoots out a red lighting that hits Jackie, and then trails down into the ocean back to the port. It travels towards Ash and May, and then suddenly Ash gets his foot caught by the lightning. Then, Jackie and Ash switch bodies, leaving them confused. Manaphy is happy though to see the Jackie Ash, but the real Jackie continues running towards the end of the port.

Later on, the group gets on the boat, Jackie and Ash exchanging comments about that weird experience they just had. Jackie however says that this is one of Manaphy's powers, {{m|Heart Swap}}. May asks Manaphy if the reason he switched Ash and Jackie was so they wouldn't leave without her. Manaphy nods happily while May gives him a nuzzle on the cheek, saying he makes her happy. Manaphy then says "happy" as well, leaving everyone shocked that Manaphy can talk. Meredith recalls Lizabeth's first word which was apparently "Fu Fu," meaning food. Shep then says she loved to eat and Meredith chuckles. Ash and Max try to get Manaphy to say their names, but Manaphy resumes speaking out its name. Manaphy then rubs his flipper on May's cheek and she hugs it, saying that it's cute. Jackie looks at them bonding, obviously not pleased about Manaphy getting close to May. Shep says that Manaphy needs to guide them to Samiya, and that Manaphy has to be released into the water. May lets Manaphy back into the ocean, and it jumps around swimming freely.

As Manaphy swims by, Shep brings the group down to a lower part of the boat. After releasing a hatch, a dome in front of them opens up to reveal an underwater forward observation room. And they see Manaphy swim by with the various ocean faring Pokémon. Manaphy sees May and tries to swim up to her, but it hits hard on the glass dome. It begins crying but May tries to comfort it and Manaphy is happy once more. Days pass, Manaphy still following the Blue Lagoon, trying to call out to May every so often. Jackie still sees some disproving in this, as if Manaphy gets too close to May, it may not go back to Samiya. Jackie is scouting out the ocean, probably looking for both the location of where Samiya is or perhaps looking out for Phantom. In one instance, he was parasailing to get a much better view. Ash watched him from below, commenting how cool it must be to be a Pokémon Ranger.

The boat makes a stop over a coral reef and the group decides to take a swim. Although May seems still a bit preoccupied on the boat still, with Manaphy sleeping in her arms. Ash gets back on the boat to find Jackie, who hands him a towel as he comes up. Ash asks Jackie how he would decide to become a Pokémon Ranger. When Jackie was much younger, he got caught in a blizzard in his homeland. He found refuge in a cave, stumbling in and shivering from the cold. A {{p|Swablu}} comes down next to him, and he realizes that the cave is filled with Swablu, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Sentret}}, and {{p|Furret}}. They all huddle next to him to keep warm, and he stays the night there. The next morning, the storm has cleared up and all the Pokémon begin moving out of the cave. After seeing the flock of bird Pokémon take off, he was interested in Pokémon life, and wanted to defend such, and so he became a Pokémon Ranger. After hearing that story, Ash gets a bit excited and he soon jumps back into the ocean, along with Buizel. May goes in as well with Manaphy, and the both of them explore the coral reef together. They both resurface and May cuddles Manaphy lovingly.

Later that night, May is sleeping outside with Manaphy on a hammock. She tells Manaphy that she loves him, and asks Manaphy if he can say "I love you." Manaphy looks at her with a questioned look on his face. May then helps him out by saying "you." Manaphy almost said it, so May repeats "you" one more time. Manaphy finally learns and says "looove you!" May praises Manaphy, and Manaphy says happy. May affectionately hugs Manaphy while Manaphy tells May he loves her. Jackie is watching from above, and is very concerned about the relationship between Manaphy and May.

Later the next day, Brock is cooking a meal with Meredith, who finds his cooking to be very impressive. May is seen walking down the hallway towards the underwater observation deck when she hears Jackie talking with Ash. He tells Ash that Manaphy being all cuddly with May isn't such a good thing, and asks him to help separate them. After all, Manaphy is supposed to be the Prince of the Sea, a leader. How's a leader going to look if it acts how it does to May? At that, May suddenly comes in, telling Jackie that Manaphy will still do a fine job being a leader, and then she rushes out just as Lizabeth was about to enter. Manaphy is outside the boat, trying to get May's attention as May is curled up against a hallway wall, crying. Lizabeth finds her and tries to console her, as May doesn't seem to want to let Manaphy go. To help her feel better, Lizabeth gives May her sea shell bracelet. Later that night, Manaphy sits on a rock, looking at the moon. It begins to {{m|sing}}, and as it does, Pokémon begin crowding near Manaphy. It seems Manaphy has influence on the Pokémon and perhaps its relationship with May hasn't hindered its position.

The next day, the boat comes to a stop at a crescent shaped island. Ash says that it's time for Manaphy to eat. Manaphy jumps out of the water, and began looking around calling for May, for Manaphy really missed her and wanted to play with her. Ash decides to lighten up the mood by releasing his Pokémon out to play. Manaphy begins playing with Ash's Pokémon and begins playing a chasing game with {{AP|Corphish}}. Feeling much better after yesterday, May begins putting on her [[List of clothing in the anime#May|bandanna]], but it gets caught in a breeze and flies off into the ocean. Manaphy sees this and begins swimming after it as the bandanna gets caught on a Sharpedo, before falling onto a {{p|Relicanth}}. Above the surface, Corphish is still having a blast dancing in the small bay of the island before realizing everyone is back on the ship. It's already evening, and everyone notices that Manaphy isn't back yet. Getting worried that something happened, Shep reveals another surprise of the Blue Lagoon. Towards the back at the bottom deck is a submarine bay. It's tethered to the boat for communication. Meredith takes the group into the sub as Kai, Meredith, Shep, and Jackie stay behind to watch their progress. Corphish is left behind as well, due to not making it back to the boat before the group's departure.

Meanwhile in the distance, Captain Phantom has tracked down the location of the Blue Lagoon, and decides to play the waiting game. He'll simply wait for Jackie or the others to reveal where Samiya is, and then he'll make his move. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who are scrubbing the floor behind the Captain, begin confirming their plot on capturing Manaphy as well, waiting for the Captain to go into Samiya.

Meanwhile Manaphy explorers a crevice on the ocean bottom, passing by a Cloyster that has May's bandanna. But Manaphy goes a little too far out, and runs into a rough current stream before retreating back to the crevice. Manaphy notices the Bandana on its way back and the Cloyster opens up to let Manaphy take it. It hugs the bandanna for a moment before swimming back towards where the boat would be. May begins to worry that Manaphy either went away for good, or got lost. But just then, Manaphy appears outside the window of the submarine holding her bandanna. May asks Manaphy if that was what he was looking for. Manaphy affectionately cuddles the bandanna saying that it loves May. May leans up against the glass of the window saying that she loves Manaphy too. As they begin to go back though, they hit a high speed current that Manaphy ran into and lose control of the sub. The tether to the Blue Lagoon snaps and they disappear out of the Blue Lagoon's sonar. For a while, Lizabeth struggles with the controls until they see Manaphy swimming off as if wanting them to follow. Lizabeth follows Manaphy and soon afterwards, they come out of the current, but Manaphy still leads them off somewhere.

The Blue Lagoon spots the sub on sonar once again and they begin to follow it. However they notice another sub tailing them. Behind the Blue Lagoon's submarine is a smaller one belonging to Phantom. At some point, the Blue Lagoon's submarine blips out of sonar again. Underwater, it appears that it went through some kind of barrier. And then, the moon begins to transition into a red color. Soon, the water temple of Samiya appears right in front of the Blue Lagoon's submarine, with Manaphy still wanting them to follow. They find a "port" where they dock at. It appears that Samiya is encased in a bubble, with half of it full of water and is a complete water palace. Jackie fears however that the follower of the Blue Lagoon's sub is Phantom, and he dives in, capturing a Mantyke along the way to speed the process of getting down to Samiya.

As Manaphy leads the group down a corridor, which is blocked by a waterfall. Manaphy steps up and begins to sing once more, with the temple repeating the notes in a lower tone. Then, the waterfall splits, and several more behind it split as well, opening the pathway deeper into the temple. Just then, Phantom docks at Samiya, making a little dance as he's found the temple. As he dashes onward, a pod connected at the back of the sub suddenly opens to reveal Jessie, James, and Meowth who snuck on to follow Phantom. The group reaches what appears to be a dead end, but there's a small obelisk with some ancient writing on it. Meredith says that Shep can read it, and maybe they could go onward if he was here. Just then, Phantom makes his appearance, boasting that he could read it. It read that beyond is a treasure room which holds the Sea Crown. He takes out his own shell bracelet that he had stolen, and a similar combination mechanism shows. Phantom lines it up and doors open up ahead. Everyone follows after him and soon they reach a large hollow chasm of a room with openings for the many canals. A platform in the middle has an altar with crystals embedded in it, with water flowing up towards the top. Phantom begins exclaiming that he was after the crystals, but soon Manaphy decides to swim in the flow of water. But this doesn't stop Phantom, as he pulls out a crystal. Suddenly the water stops and Manaphy falls to May. The temple begins rumbling in an ominous manner. Water begins spurting out of the openings, and it's soon realized that Samiya has become unstable. At this rate, there's no time to stop Phantom, so the group heads back for the submarine. Along the way they meet up with Jackie, who tells everyone to just go back, he'll take care of Phantom.

Everyone heads back for the sub, while back in the treasure room, Phantom is plucking out more crystals. By now the water level in the room has reached about a quarter way, although the altar itself is still dry. Jackie comes in, stopping Phantom from plucking out another crystal. Jackie taunts the pirate, using his acrobatic techniques to evade Phantom, while grabbing a crystal and placing it back in its place. Phantom manages to corner Jackie as he tries to place another crystal, but a column of water splash nearby, throwing both off the platform and they soon land into the flooded area. Both are taken into two different canals. Phantom pops up out onto a canal, finding the crystal just ahead of him. He rushes towards it but the crystal slips away into a smaller opening.

Ash and May worry about Jackie, wondering if he's alright. Suddenly Manaphy jumps out of May's arms and lands in the water. It wants to lead the two somewhere, but Lizabeth is worried that they might not make it back. Ash tells Lizabeth to take off, but stay nearby just in case. Manaphy then leads Ash and May up into the temple once more.

Meanwhile, Phantom decides to call it quits about the crystals and heads back for his sub, which due to the flooding has drifted elsewhere. By the time he reaches it, Jessie, James, and Meowth are there and plan on taking sub before Phantom can get in. However, just before they can close the latch, Phantom gets a good grip on it and pulls it open, sending the three flying off into the waters to be carried away somewhere. Jackie catches up with Phantom before he could get aboard his sub. Not giving up Jackie so easily, he fights him for control of the sub, which ends up Phantom getting pushed off, and Jackie taking off with the sub, but not before Phantom could grab onto a torpedo to use to escape.

Ash and May find themselves in the treasure room, where Manaphy leaps off ahead to pull on a crystal. Ash and May gets that if all the crystals are in place, then Samiya can be saved. So they begin placing the remaining few crystals into the holes, but they are one short. The water has now begun to flood the platform, and deciding to take no more chances, the three decide to flee. But along the way, Pikachu spots a crystal that found its way on a fountain. Ash picks it up while May runs off ahead towards the edge, hoping to see Lizabeth's sub somewhere. But the flooding is showing no signs of stopping. Luckily the pod that the Rockets took happened to be nearby. Ash opens it up and puts May, Manaphy and Pikachu inside. He says he'll put the last crystal in and save Samiya. Despite protests from May, Ash closes the door and runs off.

Jackie reaches the surface to where the Blue Lagoon lies. He asks if Lizabeth and the others have surfaced yet, but Shep says they're still down there since Ash and May went back inside. Jackie's a bit shocked at that, but he stays on the surface since there isn't enough time to save them.

Ash begins his route back to the treasure room by climbing up on the rafters, as the hallway he and May previously took began flooding. He finds the hallway to treasure room, but it's flooded. Taking a deep breath, he dives in and swims into the treasure room. Ash is forced to swim under his own energy and by the time he gets there, he runs out of breath, making him drop the crystal as he frantically scrambles to reach the top of the treasure room, which by now is almost flooded. He catches sight of where the crystal lands, and finds it embedded in a crack at the bottom. He swims down, taking a hold of the crystal but has trouble pulling it out. When he finally gets the crystal, he swims back up but once more his breath runs out and loses consciousness, dropping the crystal.

May begins to worry about Ash, and she hopes for his safety and wishes him luck. Manaphy uses Heart Swap to relay this to Ash, who suddenly gets a burst of energy, enough to get him back to the top of the room once more. Locating the crystal once more at the bottom, he dives down to retrieve, and ignoring how much air he has left, he swims around the altar, setting the last crystal inside. Suddenly a yellow glow fills the room. Samiya in its collapsing state, was about to collide into an ocean cliff, but with the crystals in place, the temple barely misses and begins floating upwards. Meanwhile, yellow energy beams begin to snake out from the treasure room, and wrap around Samiya as it floats upwards. At the surface, everyone is back on the Blue Lagoon, and soon sees Samiya rise as the sun is rising as well.

When the temple finally settles on the surface of the ocean, May opens up the pod door. Ash has saved Samiya, but May is afraid that he drowned in the process. But something comes from the ocean behind May. Phantom pops up from the surface from his torpedo, grabbing Manaphy and soon makes a getaway. Phantom has an easy time at first, but then a yellow energy beam shoots out from the water and begins following Phantom. There's someone inside the energy beam though, and sees Ash. He pursues Phantom while the water Pokémon in the ocean begin gathering. As Phantom dives down beneath in hopes to avoid Ash, he's blocked by a school of Remoraid. Taking advantage of the pirate's surprise, Ash takes Manaphy away. He swims away, surprised at how many Pokémon have gathered; even the {{pkmn2|legendary}} {{p|Kyogre}} has appeared.

But not all is well; Phantom makes one last effort in capturing Manaphy by staging an attack with his large submarine. Manaphy hops off from Ash's arms to take control. Manaphy summons all the nearby water Pokémon in the vicinity to launch a counterattack against Phantom's submarine. Most of them gather to hinder its movements while {{p|Chinchou}} slip into some exposed circuitry. They short out the submarine, leaving it a sitting duck. Taking this chance, Manaphy hops onto Kyogre, and Kyogre jumps out of the water, only to launch a Hyper Beam attack on the submarine, critically damaging it and all useful equipment. After the battle, Jackie, using Phantom's personal sub, finds his way to Phantom, where he's seeing him in tattered clothing holding up a heavy piece of a collapsed pillar. Behind the clothing reveals a mechanized suit, in which Jackie figures out how the old pirate was able to have superhuman strength like lifting a boulder up. Phantom's suit overloads and the column collapses on him. Jackie climbs up on top of the wrecked sub, contacting the Rangers' Base that his mission is complete.

The crew aboard Blue Lagoon are excited to see Ash, especially having been granted the power the King had. To celebrate, Ash takes the others along in their own energy beams to explore the underwater depths around Samiya, to see all the water Pokémon that have gathered around to see the Prince of the Sea. At the end of the day, Samiya sinks down into the ocean once more to be hidden from the world. On the Blue Lagoon, May is with Manaphy, about to release it back into the ocean, this time for good. Though she has a hard time, she manages to say goodbye. Manaphy actually speaks out May's name, expressing how it loves May before jumping off into the ocean. Manaphy then swims towards Samiya.

The Blue Lagoon reaches the port town, with Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu greeting them excitedly at the dock. Ash and company part ways with the circus crew as they head off to their next destination. Jackie, with the help of Officer Jenny, finds and arrests Captain Phantom and his crew from the Phantom Troop. In a later adventure, Zapdos is seen flying through a mountainous region, and is captured by Jackie so he can hitch a ride on it. Team Rocket are shown to have ended up inside a Wailord, only to be expelled from its body and shot into the air via its blowhole. Various Water Pokémon, including Manaphy, are shown wandering and swimming around Samiya. At the end, Ash and the group are seen at camp during the night, conversing around a fire, and after they are shown walking a path in the woods, the camera pans off towards the sky.

==Events==
Manaphy with a [[King's Rock]] was [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#World Hobby Fair Manaphy|distributed]] in Japan to people who bought the DVD of ''Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea''. However, {{pmin|the United States}} and {{pmin|Australia}} featured [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|distributions]] of a Manaphy with a [[Red Scarf]], to represent {{an|May}}'s bandana.

In {{pmin|South Korea}}, Manaphy was [[List of Korean region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Water Tribe Manaphy|distributed]] to players via a serial code that was given away in Korean theaters airing the Korean redub of ''Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea'', which debuted on July 22, 2015.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy Music Collection}}

==Manga adaptation==
{{main|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (manga)}}

A {{pkmn|manga}} adaptation of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea was created by [[Makoto Mizobuchi]]. It was translated into English by both [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]].

==Trailers==

==Trivia==
[[File:Cast of characters.png|thumb|250px|The main characters (excluding Jack and Phantom)]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[AG183]] and [[AG184]] in Japan.
* With a length of 105 minutes, this is the longest of all the Pokémon movies to date.
* [[Professor Sebastian]], [[Attila]], and [[Hun]] make a cameo during The World of Pokémon scene, with a captured {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* Kunihiko Yuyama traveled to {{pmin|Italy}} to visit the ruins of {{wp|Rome}}, the city of {{wp|Naples}}, and the island of {{wp|Capri}} to get ideas for the setting of the movie.
* The {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[dub]] of the movie premiered on July 20, 2006, only five days after the Japanese premiere.
* This was the last movie, and by extension the last work of any Pokémon media, to be produced primarily with {{wp|Traditional animation|cel animation}}. Although the main series had already switched to digital in 2002, with ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at you, Elekid!]]'', it wasn't until after this film that the movies would make the switch.
* This was the first movie to be dubbed by Pokémon USA, and the only one by [[TAJ Productions]], since [[DuArt Media Services|DuArt]] did ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* In the English dub, when diamonds and pearls are mentioned for the first time in the movie, Meowth [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying "Hey, that sounds like a [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|good name for a game]]!". When they get mentioned for the second time, he says "Let's get through [[S09|this season]] first." These instances are references towards the (at the time) next games due out and the [[S10|next season]].
* Although the posters and DVD cover show Ash controlling some kind of ship, he never actually does this in the movie.
* The clothes Jackie wears during his flashback resemble {{ga|Ethan}}'s.
* Jackie captures a {{p|Fearow}} with his Styler, which may be a reference to [[Ringtown]]'s Ranger Leader {{ra|Spenser}} and his Fearow.
* Near the climax of the movie, Ash turns his [[Ash's hat|hat]] backwards for the first time in several [[season]]s.
* The movie aired on Cartoon Network in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, along with ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', before ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' was released on DVD.
* Scenes that were used in the teaser at the end of the original Japanese airing of ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' ultimately did not make it into the movie, such as a scene where {{Ash}} is washed away while calling for {{AP|Pikachu}}, a scene where {{an|May}}'s and [[Lizabeth]]'s bracelets glow, a scene which shows an alternate version of the architecture of the Sea Temple, and a nighttime scene where {{p|Kyogre}} leaps out of the water and back in.
* The English dubbed version of this movie was the first movie to be premiered in the original widescreen format.
* This is the first dubbed version of a movie not to use the [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|"Pokémon" logo]] despite the title containing the word "Pokémon". Instead, the font and color of the title is similar to the Japanese title.
* {{ga|Brendan}} makes a cameo at the beginning of the movie, commanding a {{p|Swampert}}. This may be a nod to the [[rival]]'s Pokémon having a type advantage over the main character's in the games (in this case, [[May's Combusken]]).
* At {{wp|Target Corporation|Target}} and {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} stores in the United States, a bonus CD titled [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] and [[Exclusive Toys R Us Mix!]] was bundled with the DVD release of this movie.
* This was the first movie in which a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon was not a main character.
* This movie was the second to be skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, even though the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} arc was dubbed in Finnish, with the first being [[M08|the previous movie]]. These two movies were also skipped in the other Nordic countries.
** Interestingly enough, both of these movies take place during the aforementioned season.
** Despite this movie being skipped in the Finnish dub, its {{ma|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|manga adaptation}} has been translated to, and released in Finnish.

===Errors===
* The title card animation sequence begins with a depiction of the {{wp|Hexagonal lattice|hexagonal crystal lattice}} of {{wp|Ice Ih|ice}}. However, the orientation of some water molecules is wrong: there should only be one {{wp|hydrogen}} atom on every edge and one {{wp|oxygen}} atom at every vertex.
* In the English dub, after Jackie says the Marina group is assisting him on his mission, his mouth is moving but no sound comes out.
* In the English dub, during the scene where {{an|May}} first calms down Manaphy, {{an|Brock}} says, "Hey, thanks [[Lizabeth]]!" May then replies, "I think." Firstly, Lizabeth didn't do anything in that scene, making this line unrelated; and secondly, May's response gives the impression Brock was actually addressing her instead and not Lizabeth.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n and {{pmin|Russia}}n dubs, when May teaches Manaphy how to talk, May speaks in the dubbed language and Manaphy repeats it in English. May seems to understand it anyway.
* When Ash is putting May and Manaphy inside Phantom's pod, the red and white colors of May's bandanna are reversed for a few frames.

===Dub edits===
* An ''{{wp|a cappella}}'' version of [[Spurt!]] is replaced with an instrumental version of [[Together We Make a Promise]] as background music for the scenes where Jackie explains why he protects Pokémon and when Ash and May are swimming with Manaphy and Buizel.
* In the original Japanese version, Jack comments about the Phantom's strength include puns about Machamp and Machop, whose Japanese names have to do with a person's strength. In the English dub, Jack simply asks the Phantom if he takes vitamins.

==Blurb==

After a quick introduction to Serena, a budding young Trainer who lives with her mother in the Kalos region, we find Ash, Pikachu, and Alexa on a plane, preparing to land in Kalos. Saying that Ash is excited would be quite an understatement! The thought of meeting all the new Pokémon and having lots of exciting Gym battles has our hero beside himself with joyous anticipation.

But when Alexa discovers that her younger sister (who’s a Gym Leader) isn’t at her Gym in Santalune City, Ash wonders where he should try for his first badge. Alexa directs him to the Gym located in the Prism Tower, right there in Lumiose City! Ash and Pikachu arrive at the Gym, brimming with confidence and energy. But they are greeted by a robot who, upon discovering Ash hasn’t yet won a single badge in Kalos, promptly throws them out with a bang!

Outside, a Trainer named Clemont and his little sister, Bonnie, manage to catch Ash and Pikachu as they come flying out of the tower. After introductions all around, Ash challenges Clemont to a battle on the spot, and he agrees. With Pikachu up against Clemont’s new Pokémon Bunnelby, it proves to be a battle of power and strategy, until it is rudely interrupted by none other than Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket, who have followed Ash all the way to Kalos!

The villains proclaim that although Pikachu is their first Pokémon-catching priority, the wealth of prime Pokémon in the Kalos region is too great to ignore! As a new battle begins, Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet proves to be quite a powerful Pokémon, thanks to its Mirror Coat move, which returns special attacks to the sender with double the power! But a Froakie has been observing the events from the sidelines, and now rushes in to help. When it flings the protective Frubbles that cover its back—which isn’t technically a move, and therefore not affected by Wobbuffet’s Mirror Coat—Team Rocket is sent blasting off again, but Froakie is injured in the process. Ash knows they need to get Froakie to a Pokémon Center right away, but Bonnie suggests it would be faster to go to Professor Sycamore’s research lab.

So off they go: Ash, Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and the injured Froakie, ushering in a new round of adventures and excitement!

==Plot==
In [[Vaniville Town]], {{kal|Grace}} asks her {{p|Fletchling}} to wake up her daughter {{an|Serena}} after she failed to do so the first time. Fletchling obediently flies up to Serena's bedroom and pecks her awake, much to Serena's annoyance. Despite the prospect of training with {{p|Rhyhorn}} later for Rhyhorn racing, Serena feels today will be interesting.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}} arrives in the [[Kalos]] [[region]] on a plane with [[Alexa]], anticipating a new adventure. As Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} leave the plane, Ash sees two {{p|Spritzee}} flying above and trips on the steps, landing heavily on the ground. Ash is dismayed to discover that Alexa's [[Viola|sister's]] [[Gym]] is not in [[Lumiose City]], but is in [[Santalune City]] instead. While Alexa makes a phone call to her sister, Ash decides to look around for new Pokémon, when suddenly {{p|Blaziken|a mysterious Pokémon}} appears on the top of the airport traffic control tower and jumps over Ash's head. Ash heads to the lobby and runs to Alexa's {{p|Helioptile}}, telling Alexa about the amazing Pokémon he saw, to which Alexa promises that he will soon see many more amazing Pokémon. Although Alexa's sister is still away from the [[Santalune Gym]], Alexa cheers Ash up by suggesting that he challenge the Gym in Lumiose City instead. Taking him to a map, she explains that [[Lumiose Gym]] is housed inside Prism Tower which is in the centre of the city. Ash gets very excited, and Alexa then tells Ash they'll need to go their separate ways now. Ash thanks her for all her help recently, and Alexa in turn thanks him for the fun they've had on their recent travels together. With that, Ash departs and Alexa comments on his energy and wishes him luck on his new adventure.

After seeing many Pokémon in Lumiose City, some familiar and some new to him, Ash finds Prism Tower, which houses the Lumiose Gym. Watched by {{an|Clemont|a boy}} and {{an|Bonnie|his younger sister}}, Ash walks inside and requests a Gym battle, but [[Clembot|a robotic voice]] asks him how many [[Badge]]s he currently has. Unbeknownst to Ash, the Lumiose Gym has a strict requirement that only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with four or more Gym Badges may challenge the [[Gym Leader]]. Since Ash has no Badges, Ash and Pikachu are hit with an electric shock and are dropped through a trapdoor to the exit. The two children from before see him falling out of the Tower and they attempt to rescue Ash and his Pikachu. The boy throws his [[bag|backpack]] below Ash, which immediately produces a large airbag-like contraption to cushion Ash's fall. The little girl catches Pikachu and falls over herself. After the boy helps Ash to his feet, the girl excites herself over how adorable Pikachu is and hugs him tightly, causing Pikachu to shock her in protest. As the scene is occurring, a {{AP|Froakie}} is watching them from a building. Recovering quickly from the shock, the girl apologizes to Pikachu after her brother chides her for not considering Pikachu's feelings. Introducing himself to the boy and the girl, Ash tells them that he traveled from the [[Kanto]] region so he could participate in the [[Kalos League]]. The three of them head to a Pokémon battlefield in Lumiose City, where the boy and the girl introduce themselves as {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. Ash challenges Clemont to a [[Pokémon battle]], to which Clemont accepts after encouragement from Bonnie.

For their battle, Clemont sends out his {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} and Ash uses Pikachu. Pikachu starts off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Bunnelby uses his ears to throw up the sand to block the attack. Bunnelby responds with {{m|Dig}}, while Ash tells Pikachu to take off and use his speed to confuse Bunnelby. However, Pikachu is unsuccessful and Bunnelby lands his attack. Pikachu and Bunnelby continue trading attacks, while Ash notes that Bunnelby's ears are a great asset in battle and that Clemont is a skilled Trainer. Bunnelby stops Pikachu’s {{m|Iron Tail}} with his ears, but gets pushed back by a close range {{m|Electro Ball}} attack. Pikahcu charges into a {{m|Quick Attack}} while Clemont orders Bunnelby to bide his time.

Just then, the battle is interrupted when a device is thrown onto the battlefield, which Pikachu narrowly dodges. Looking around, Ash and the others see {{TRT}} there, having followed him all the way to Kalos. Although the talking {{MTR}} catches Clemont's attention, Ash explains to him and Bonnie that Team Rocket have been following him around, trying to steal Pikachu. Although Pikachu and Bunnelby both put up excellent fights against Team Rocket, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to block their efforts. Just before Pikachu is struck by a rebounding Electro Ball, the Froakie that had been watching them before jumps in and takes the attack for Pikachu. Using its frubbles as an attack, Froakie incapacitates Wobbuffet and Team Rocket with the sticky frubbles. Clemont orders his Bunnelby use Dig, which sends Team Rocket flying into the air before Pikachu sends them blasting off with a Thunderbolt.

Afterwards Froakie collapses from its injuries. Following on Bonnie's recommendations, they rush Froakie to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s laboratory, fearing for the little Pokémon's safety.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Pikachu}}
** This Pokémon Holo Caster was moved to [[XY002]] on the first airing, due to XY001 and XY002 airing as a one-hour special.
* This is the season premiere of [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]].
* [[V (Volt)]] replaced [[Summerly Slope]] as the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese opening theme]].
* [[X Strait Y Scenery]] replaced [[Let's Join Hands]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* This and [[XY002|the following episode]] are the first episodes to air in Japan after the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]].
* In addition to the United States, this episode aired as a sneak peek on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}. The sneak peek versions of these episodes also aired in {{pmin|Canada}} on December 7, 2013.
** Due to this fact, this episode is tied with the [[XY002|following episode]] as the shortest gap between the airdates of the Japanese version and the English dub. However, both were aired as a sneak preview, not regular episodes, as ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' hadn't completed its run outside Japan yet, so the record that ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'' held wasn't broken for regular episodes until ''[[BW137|Celebrating the Hero's Comet!]]''.
** For these airings, as the [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|opening theme sequence]] hadn't been completed, a placeholder opening was used, in which the show's title simply flew into view on a black background as the title card background music played. In the ending credits, a shorter version of Lumiose City's {{pkmn|anime}} music was used.

* A new eyecatch debuts in the Japanese version, called [[Pokémon Quiz]]. The silhouette of the Pokémon is revealed, then four other silhouettes appear alongside it: one being identical to the first silhouette, two being that of similar Pokémon species and one of them being that of {{TRT}}. The viewers have to remember where the correct silhouette was, which is revealed alongside the actual Pokémon species after the commercial break.
* This is the first time that an episode introducing a new [[core series]] region does not feature the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}.
* This is the first time that Ash's male traveling companion appears in the first episode of a new series.
* This is the first episode to use music from ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.
* Jessie [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] when Ash says that he and Pikachu will always stand up to Team Rocket. She replies that all he will end up with is reruns, implying that the show will end due to them succeeding in capturing Pikachu.

===Errors===
* In the opening scene of the English dub, when Grace says "usual" microphone static can be heard.
* Serena's {{p|Bulbasaur}} doll moves farther away from her bed between shots.
* In the intro segment of the episode, a {{p|Dedenne}}'s belly is colored the same as the rest of its body.
* At two different times, the sound of {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s Poké Ball opening is heard despite already being out of it.
* After [[Alexa]] finished her call with her sister, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Helioptile}} go to her to tell her Ash saw an awesome Pokémon, and Alexa is missing her one earring.
* In one scene, the pocket on Alexa's jeans is missing.
* During the {{motto|Team Rocket motto}} sequence:
** The space inside the "R" on Jessie's uniform is briefly colored red instead of white, and a few frames later, her undershirt is miscolored white. This error is present in every subsequent episode featuring the same motto animation.
** When James's crosses his arms, the fingers on his left glove are colored like his skin, instead of black. This is corrected in subsequent episodes.
* In the dub, when Ash asks Clemont where the Pokémon Center is, his mouth doesn't keep up with the words.

===Dub edits===
* For unknown reasons, the title card is lacking the characters' shadows and the ''To Be Continued'' text does not appear in the end of the episode in the {{pmin|the United States|American version}}. The {{pmin|the United Kingdom|UK version}}, and presumably all international versions, has the ''To Be Continued'' added in, while US [[iTunes]] release adds the characters' shadows along with the ''To Be Continued''.
* In the official debut of this episode's dub, a large portion of the original music is replaced with dub music. However, this was not the case in the preview airing, in which the episode used all of the original music.
** In addition, several lines of dialogue were rerecorded and the [[Clembot]]'s voice was changed between the preview and official debut to be consistent with later episodes.
* For unknown reasons, the title card segment was skipped during the debut airings on Hungama TV in {{pmin|South Asia|India}}. It was later restored during re-runs on Marvel HQ.

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Quilava no flame.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava without its flames lit]]
Quilava is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, slender body. The top half of its body is a dark blue-green, while its underside is cream-colored. It has triangular ears with dark red interiors, a rounded snout, and triangular red eyes. Each of its paws has three toes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two arranged vertically on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear. Before a battle, Quilava turns its back so its flames face its opponent. It battles using these intense flames in combination with gusts of superheated air. Its own fur is non-flammable, which protects it from other fire attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn Quilava.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Quilava]]====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava after it fought one of {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mechas]]. He later used it during his {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Nando]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it went up against Nando's {{p|Armaldo}}; the battle resulted in a tie.

====[[Dawn's Quilava]]====
In [[DPS01]], {{an|Dawn}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava in order to fight off a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}. It later reunited with Ash in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

====Other====
In ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar]]'', Ash witnessed a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|training}} with a Quilava for the [[Silver Conference]]. He also briefly considered getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference, following Cyndaquil's defeat against [[Satchel]]'s {{p|Magby}}.

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'', [[Macy]] used a Quilava against Ash during the Silver Conference, but it was defeated by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Later, in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', it battled [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} and won.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]] used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', [[Ryan and Bryan|Ryan]] used a Quilava in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}} alongside his twin brother Byan and his {{p|Croconaw}}. The twins were initially able to defeat [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Quilava competed in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]].

A Quilava appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]''.

In ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', a Quilava was hypnotized and kidnapped by Team Rocket.

In ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'', two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Quilava attended the [[Wela Fire Festival‎]].

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Trainer's Quilava went to the [[Pokémon Catch Race]].

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved form and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, they all are capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.

===Origin===
Quilava's body is similar to most animals in the {{wp|weasel}} family, particularly {{wp|stoat}}s due to its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. However, the pattern distribution and shape of Quilava's flames closely resembles the quills and crest of the {{wp|crested porcupine}}, especially in its earlier sprites.

Quilava's appearance is also quite close to a {{wp|paca}}, a South American rodent with a slender body, spotted skin, and tiny ears; as well as a {{wp|badger}}.

====Name origin====
Quilava is a combination of ''quill'' (a needle-like hair) and ''lava'' (extrusive molten rock).

Magmarashi is a combination of ''magma'' and ヤマアラシ (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}).

'''Typhlosion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクフーン''' ''Bakphoon'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

==Biology==
Typhlosion is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a bulky, yet long and agile body. It is classified as a quadruped, but it is capable of bipedal movement. Most of its body is cream-colored, but its back and the top of its head are a dark green-blue. It has a short, rounded snout and small, triangular eyes and ears. When its mouth is open, its sharp canine teeth and thick tongue are visible. Each of its paws has three digits and there is a coarse, spiky fringe of fur along its rear. Across the back of its neck, there are several red spots that can produce fire. Typhlosion is capable of making anything go up in flames when angered and creating explosions by rubbing its fur together. The heat it generates when ready for battle creates a shimmering haze that can also be used to hide itself. Though it is rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Typhlosion M21.png|250px|thumb|left|Typhlosion in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]=====
Typhlosion debuted in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where it was {{jo|Jimmy}}'s [[starter Pokémon]], which he got as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]'', [[Mr. Moore]] sent out a Typhlosion to stop {{TRT}} from making off with [[Flannery's Torkoal]].

====Minor appearances====
Typhlosion made its main series debut in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'', where the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent one to a student for use during a {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{p|Feraligatr}}.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Typhlosion was among the Pokémon that could be caught during the [[Pokémon Catch Race]]. Another was seen during a flashback.

===GOTCHA!===
A Typhlosion briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]], under the ownership of {{ga|Silver}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Exbo.png|thumb|220px|Typhlosion in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Exbo}}
{{adv|Gold}}'s Quilava, [[nickname]]d Exbo, evolved into a Typhlosion in ''[[PS148|Lively Lugia III]]'' to protect {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}. Afterwards, his larger size allowed him to be a method of faster travel (akin to Crystal's [[Archy|Arcanine]]), and with his increased power allowed Gold to hold his own and even overpower the [[Masked Man]].

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS272|Old Ultima Puts Them to the Test]]'', under the ownership of [[Ultima]]. It was first seen displaying its {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] alongside her {{p|Meganium}} with its {{a|Overgrow}}. However, this act damaged much of the surrounding landscape, as well as a large girth of the ship nearby, earning the old woman much ire.

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', under the ownership of a [[Pokéathlon]] participant.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
A Typhlosion appeared in [[GDZ67]], under the ownership of a {{OBP|monk|GDZ}}.

==Trivia==
* Typhlosion and {{p|Charizard}}, along with {{p|Cyndaquil|their}} {{p|Charmander|respective}} {{p|Quilava|evolutionary}} {{p|Charmeleon|lines}}, have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
**{{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Delphox}} also share the same base stat total, though their individual stats differ.
* Typhlosion and {{p|Togetic}} are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation II]] not to {{DL|Core series|Pokémon|appear in the anime until the next generation}}.
* Typhlosion shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Additionally, they are all capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.

===Origin===
Typhlosion is mainly based on the {{wp|honey badger}}. It may also be reminiscent of {{wp|weasel}}s and {{wp|wolverine}}s. It has a long and agile body, like weasels, though it is significantly larger and thicker than its pre-evolved forms.

====Name origin====
Typhlosion is a combination of ''{{wp|typhoon}}'' and ''explosion''. Its name is also similar to the word ''typhus'', a Greek word meaning 'hazy' (which would describe the effect that the intense heat Typhlosion generates has on the air surrounding it), and it may also be related to ''tephra'' (volcanic material). It could also derive from ''{{wp|Typhon}}'', a monster in Greek mythology who fathered many other monsters with his wife, {{wp|Echidna (mythology)|Echidna}}; {{p|Cyndaquil}} resembles an {{wp|echidna}}. Alternatively, it could be a reference to ''{{wp|Eulipotyphla}}'', the mammal group containing shrews and hedgehogs.

Bakphoon is a combination of 爆風 ''bakufū'' (blast) and ''typhoon''.

Millennium Comet

The '''Millennium Comet''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|千年彗星|せんねんすいせい}}''' ''Millenium Comet'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive location deep in outer space. It is visible from the [[Pokémon world]] for only seven nights once every thousand years. It was featured in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where the comet was seen from [[Hoenn]]; however, as a celestial body, the Millennium Comet probably could have also been seen from other areas in the Pokémon world.

Due to the Millennium Comet appearing very rarely, many festivals, such as the [[Millennium Festival]], and other celebrations are held during the time the Millennium Comet can be easily seen in the sky.

Energy from the Millennium Comet is absorbed by {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}'s true eye and released over the course of a {{wp|millennium}} into the landscape of [[Forina]] in order to keep balance in the Pokémon world. This energy can also be misused in ways such as [[Butler]] trying to use the Millennium Comet's energy to create a {{p|Groudon}} and ended up creating a manifestation of evil known as [[Meta Groudon]].
