[[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] was revealed during a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2023|Pokémon Presents]] on [[Pokémon Day#2023|February 27, 2023]]. It is a [[DLC]] expansion for the games consisting of two parts: [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]]. A further epilogue for the DLC, [[Mochi Mayhem]], was made available on January 11, 2024.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], having just moved to the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with their [[mother]], now lives in the small settlement of [[Cabo Poco]] and prepares to start their studies at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in the region's biggest city, [[Mesagoza]]. The academy's director, [[Clavell]], gives the player a choice of one of three [[first partner Pokémon]] and introduces them to their next-door neighbor and the head of the academy's student council, [[Nemona]]. Despite being a {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Nemona also takes one of the first partner Pokémon in her care in order to train a new team alongside the player. While exploring [[Poco Path]], the player encounters a weak {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which saves them from a pack of angry {{p|Houndour}}. An academy student named [[Arven]] identifies the Pokémon and hands its [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké]] [[Miraidon's Poké Ball|Ball]] to the player.

As the player and Nemona make their way to Mesagoza, she introduces them to the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and arranges for the player to receive a [[Tera Orb]] so they can utilize the phenomenon as well. In Mesagoza, the player saves a girl named [[Penny]] from being harassed by members of [[Team Star]], a group of delinquent academy students accused of bullying. They are also contacted by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, Arven's mother{{sup/9|S}}/father{{sup/9|V}}, who reveals that the Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} the player now travels with was originally under their possession, and asks the player to look after it.

Three days later,<ref>The timelapse shows that it has been three days since the player arrived at the academy.</ref> Director Clavell initiates the Treasure Hunt, an independent study assignment where the {{tc|student}}s of the academy journey across Paldea in order to find something that they can call their own personal treasure. This allows the player to initiate three different storylines, either simultaneously or one by one.

===Victory Road===
At Nemona's urging, the player sets out to challenge the eight [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] around Paldea. Those who collect the eight necessary [[Badge|Gym Badges]] may take on the Champion Assessment at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} headquarters and obtain the Champion Rank. While the player travels around the region to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish, Nemona frequently shows up to support the player in various ways, most often by battling. The player is also introduced to [[Geeta]], the chairwoman of the [[Paldea League|Paldea Pokémon League]] and the region's strongest Champion-ranked Trainer, the Top Champion, as well as several members of Paldea's [[Elite Four]].

Once the player has all eight Gym Badges, they make their way to the Pokémon League headquarters. After passing an interview test, the player battles and defeats the Elite Four and Geeta, making them a Champion-ranked Trainer. Excited by the player finally becoming her equal, Nemona challenges them to one more battle, in which she holds nothing back. Defeating her in this battle concludes the Victory Road storyline.

===Path of Legends===
Arven tells the player about the five [[giant Pokémon]] known as [[Titan Pokémon]] he has read about that reside in various places over Paldea, and requests the player's help in defeating them and collecting their [[Herba Mystica]], legendary herbs said to have amazing health benefits. During the quest to defeat the Titans, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} gradually regains its old abilities by eating [[sandwich]]es made with the Herba Mystica. Arven eventually also reveals that he wishes to use the Herba Mystica to help heal his partner, {{p|Mabosstiff}}, who was severely injured a while back.

After all the Herba Mystica have been collected, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} has recovered all of its former powers, excluding its ability to {{pkmn|battle}}, and Arven's Mabosstiff makes a full recovery, much to Arven's immense relief. The {{pkmn|Professor}} then requests the player to come see them at their laboratory at the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], with Arven battling the player at his full power to test if they're both ready to take on the most dangerous area in the region. Defeating him concludes the Path of Legends.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
An individual referring to themselves as [[Cassiopeia]] hacks into the player's [[Rotom Phone]] and requests the player's help in taking down Team Star in an operation codenamed "Operation Starfall". Director Clavell, disguised as an academy student and using the pseudonym "Clive", joins the player as they make their way around Paldea to take down the five squads of Team Star at their bases by defeating the boss of each squad. During the player's one-man war against the team, they gradually learn more about the team's history. The team was formed by victims of bullying who, rallied together by their mysterious "big boss", decided to finally confront their bullies. However, when confronted 18 months before the events of the game, the bullies fled without even attempting to fight back and dropped out of the academy. Moreover, the then-deputy director of the academy wiped out all the cases of bullying from the school's records, making Team Star seem like bullies themselves. Blaming themselves for having failed to prevent this from occurring, the entire staff of the academy had resigned as a result, explaining why none of the current staff members know anything about the incident.

Eventually, once all five of Team Star's squads have been taken down, Cassiopeia reveals themselves as the "big boss" of Team Star, having started Operation Starfall because the team cannot continue operating in its current way, and tells the player to confront them in the schoolyard at night. At the academy, Clavell takes off his disguise and claims himself to be Cassiopeia, but after being defeated in a battle, he admits he was simply testing the player to see if they'd be ready to face the real Cassiopeia. The player meets the real Cassiopeia in the schoolyard, who reveals herself to be Penny. After Penny has been defeated, Clavell reveals that the Team Star bosses were watching the battle, and allows the team to continue operating as long as they turn their bases into training facilities for Trainers, which they accept. This concludes ★ Starfall Street ★.

===The Way Home===
[[File:The Way Home Violet descend.png|thumb|left|200px|{{ga|Juliana}} and her friends descend to Area Zero with Miraidon, beginning The Way Home chapter]]
After the first three stories have been concluded, the player, Arven, Nemona, and Penny make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the Professor's request. As the group travels to the four research stations around the area to unlock the door to the Professor's laboratory, they encounter primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon, which are revealed to have been [[Time travel|brought to the present day from another era]] by a [[time machine]] created by the Professor, including two specimens of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. At the laboratory's entrance, some of these [[Paradox Pokémon]] confront the player and their friends, forcing the player to enter the [[Zero Lab]] alone while their friends fight off the Pokémon outside.
[[File:The Way Home Violet ending.png|thumb|right|200px|{{ga|Juliana}} and her friends going back to Mesagoza, concluding The Way Home chapter]]
Inside the laboratory, the player discovers that the Professor is actually a robot, created by the real Professor before they were killed by the second and more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The {{wp|artificial intelligence}} within the robot, despite being an exact copy of the Professor's memories and knowledge, opposes the original Professor's plan to keep the time machine running, as it would threaten to destroy Paldea's ecosystem with an overflow of Paradox Pokémon. However, since the AI is programmed to protect the time machine, the player is forced to battle it against its will. Once the AI has been defeated, the player is rejoined by their friends, and a program called the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over the robot Professor, as well as locking all [[Poké Ball]]s not marked with the Professor's ID. Finally regaining its ability to battle, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} confronts and defeats the other member of its kind, ending the Paradise Protection Protocol's hold over the AI. The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present. As such, the AI chooses to travel to another era using the time machine, bidding the player and their friends farewell as it disappears. After the time machine shuts down permanently, the player and their friends decide to take a slow and scenic route back to Mesagoza, concluding The Way Home and the main game.

===Post-game===
With the player and their friends returning to normal school life, Nemona suggests hosting a battle tournament at the school to celebrate the player's new Champion status, requesting for Geeta to take part in it as well as she is the chairwoman of the academy's school board. While Geeta says she's busy with her duties as the Pokémon League chairwoman, she agrees to take part if the player takes her place in inspecting all the [[Gym Leader]]s to see if they're still worthy of keeping their positions. As such, the player returns to each Gym and takes on the eight Gym Leaders once more in a series of [[rematch]]es.

After the player has finished the rematches and reported their inspection results to Geeta, the tournament, dubbed the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], is finally conducted. The player defeats Arven in the first round, the biology teacher [[Jacq]] in the second round, the battle studies teacher [[Dendra]] in the third round, and Geeta in the finals, officially making them the strongest Trainer at the academy. Clavell then declares that the tournament will not be a one-time event and will henceforth be held regularly, concluding the post-game story.

===The Teal Mask===
{{main|The Teal Mask}}
The player joins three other students on a school trip to the land of [[Kitakami]] in the east, where they participate in the [[Festival of Masks]] and uncover the tale of {{ga|Ogerpon}} and the [[Loyal Three]] alongside the local siblings [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]].

===The Indigo Disk===
{{main|The Indigo Disk}}
Following their trip to Kitakami, the player is invited to become an exchange student at [[Blueberry Academy]] in the [[Unova]] region by the academy's director, [[Cyrano]]. At this new, battle-focused education facility, they explore the vast [[Terarium]], re-encounter Carmine and Kieran, and take part in the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}. Eventually, the player's journey leads them back to Paldea and [[Area Zero Underdepths|the depths of Area Zero]] in search of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{ga|Terapagos}}.

===Mochi Mayhem===
{{main|Mochi Mayhem}}
The player, Nemona, Arven, and Penny travel to Kitakami together to meet Kieran and Carmine. However, their trip takes a turn for the worse when more and more people start behaving very oddly. The unusual behavior turns out to be the cause of a mysterious [[mochi]] created {{ga|Pecharunt|a small purple Pokémon}}, requiring the player and Kieran to team up in order to stop it from escalating the situation any further.

==Features==
The game is set in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and is an open-world game in which areas are seamlessly connected. The areas in the game can be visited in any order without Pokémon's levels being scaled to the player's achievements. The game also features multiplayer with up to four players simultaneously, enabling [[trade|trading]] and [[Pokémon battle|battling]] between players as well as allowing them to travel through the game's areas together.

===Terastal phenomenon===
{{main|Terastal phenomenon}}
The Terastal phenomenon is a new type of transformation that allows any Pokémon from the Paldea region to power up and become bejeweled using the [[Tera Orb]]. After Terastallizing, a Pokémon's natural type attribute is either enhanced or altered according to their innate Tera Type.

===Paradox Pokémon===
{{main|Paradox Pokémon}}
The Paradox Pokémon appear for the first time as "unidentified creatures".<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/</ref> {{p|Great Tusk}} is described in the [[Scarlet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Scarlet, while {{p|Iron Treads}} is described in the [[Violet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Violet. They are a group of unique Pokémon that came from the ancient past in Pokémon Scarlet and the distant future in Pokémon Violet.

===Gyms===
Scarlet and Violet feature [[Gym]]s, just like most of the other core series titles. In Paldea, the Gym Leaders are [[Katy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Brassius]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Iono]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Kofu]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Ryme]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Tulip]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Grusha]] ({{t|Ice}}). For the first time in the series, the player is able to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish.

===Elite Four and Champion===
For the first time in a non-remake game since [[Generation IV]], the Elite Four can only be challenged in a fixed order. The members are [[Rika]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Poppy]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Flying}}), and [[Hassel]] ({{t|Dragon}}). After defeating all four Elite Four members, the player faces the Top Champion, [[Geeta]], who uses a team consisting of a variety of types.

===[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]===
Most version-exclusive Pokémon can be encountered and caught by players of the opposite version who join a [[Union Circle]] or [[Tera Raid Battle]], except for Koraidon and Miraidon, which require trading. {{p|Armarouge}} and {{p|Ceruledge}} can be obtained through raids, even solo raids in the opposite version that their [[Evolution item]]s can be obtained in, but not a Union Circle, and vice versa for Paradox Pokémon, not counting limited-time event Tera Raids.

==Compatibility==
===Pokémon GO===
The games are compatible with Pokémon GO through Bluetooth LE as of version 1.2.0 (released on February 27, 2023). Players can send postcards as well as [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s from their phone to the games.

Each time a postcard is sent, wild {{p|Vivillon}}'s pattern will change depending on the location where the Postcard came from. This effect lasts 24 hours in real-time, after which the pattern of wild Vivillon will be reset, and the player will be able to receive another Postcard.

=== Pokémon HOME===
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]] as of HOME's version 3.0.0 (released on May 30, 2023). This allows them to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon HOME, including Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s that were [[transfer]]red into Pokémon HOME. Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Scarlet and Violet save files on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] and a [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Scarlet and Violet Pokédex|select few]] "foreign" Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The Kitakami and Blueberry Academy Pokédex were released with the two iterations of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, but the Pokémon in those Pokédexes became compatible with the base game upon release even if the player has not purchased the DLC. All [[regional form]]s of compatible Pokémon that existed at the time of release and their respective regional evolved forms are also compatible.

When a compatible Pokémon from another game first enters these sets of games, its moveset is changed to its four most recent level-up moves by default (though the player can make alterations). Additionally, any compatible Pokémon brought from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} will have their Poké Ball displayed as a [[Strange Ball]] due to their invalid Poké Ball IDs not being otherwise recognised in these games.

====Unusable moves====
{{main|List of moves by availability in Generation IX}}
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, many moves, including some of {{cat|Moves usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield|those that are usable in Sword and Shield}}, are no longer usable. Pokémon do not normally learn these moves in the game. In lieu of their usual descriptions, most of these moves instead have the following generic description: "''This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.''"

*In addition, all [[Z-Move]]s, [[Max Move]]s, and [[G-Max Move]]s are also unusable in these games.

In Version 2.0.1, which was released alongside [[The Teal Mask]], several previously unusable moves were made usable again. These were mostly [[signature move]]s of Pokémon that were added in that update. Further moves were made usable in Version 3.0.0, coinciding with [[The Indigo Disk]].

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Monday, February 27, we released the version 1.2.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pokémon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience.

'''Newly Added Features'''
*The Nintendo eShop page for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-scarlet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016943-switch/ Pokémon Scarlet] game or the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-violet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016942-switch/ Pokémon Violet] game can now be accessed via the main menu. For more details on The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, please visit [https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_part_1_2/ The Pokémon Company].
*Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue.
*Players can now [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61360 connect their games to Pokémon GO].

'''Feature Adjustments'''
*Additional functionality has been added for Pokémon Boxes:
**From a Pokémon's summary, players can now change Pokémon's nicknames, markings, held items, and mark- or Ribbon-related titles, as well as reorder moves, have Pokémon remember or forget moves, and use TMs.
**Players can also now swap out held items by pressing the Y Button when in the '''Held Items''' view.
**Players are now able to select '''All Boxes''' while moving Pokémon or items in the '''Party and Boxes''' view and '''Held Items''' view.
**When in the '''Battle Team''' view, Pokémon in your Boxes that are assigned to a Battle Team will now have their icons displayed in a darker hue if those Pokémon are members of the Battle Team that is currently being displayed.
*The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Poké Portal.

'''Bug Fixes'''
'''Tera Raid Battles'''
* A bug could prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon's HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time that certain status conditions are applied, causing the Tera Pokémon's HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual manner. This has been fixed.
* A bug that caused all Pokémon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP could occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.
* A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any input into the game could occur if a Tera Pokémon took certain actions while the player was choosing the target of their move. This has been fixed.
*Errors could occur when someone connecting to a Tera Raid Battle saw a different Pokémon displayed on their screen than what the host saw. This has been fixed.
*A bug could occur that caused players joining a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be brought to a Tera Raid Battle against a Pokémon different from the one they saw displayed. This has been fixed.
*A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.

'''Battles'''
* Type matchups against Pokémon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
*We have fixed a bug in which a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its {{a|Illusion}} Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark by using the '''Check Target''' option.
*We have fixed a bug in which the type matchups of moves targeting a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability would display based on the type of the Pokémon that Zoroark was disguised as, rather than Zoroark's Tera Type.
*We have fixed a bug in which the stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth increased when Dondozo used Order Up when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect).
*We have fixed a bug in which the effects of Destiny Bond failed to activate if a Pokémon Terastallized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.

'''Other'''
*We have addressed an issue that made the game prone to forcibly closing at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be fewer Pokémon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild.
*We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon that is not a part of the Paldea Pokédex was displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pokédex after being obtained through a Link Trade.
* Certain actions prevented the main character's expressions from changing until the game was closed and reopened. This has been fixed.
* A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season's results had been calculated caused an error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been fixed.
*We have fixed a bug in which a player may not have received the Master Rank Ribbon if they had registered several Battle Teams but had not used the Battle Team in the first slot when winning Ranked Battles in the Master Ball Tier.
*We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon you caught may not have listened to your commands in accordance with what is written in the profile app (“Pokémon caught at Lv. XX or below will listen to your commands”) if that Pokémon was Link Traded back to you from another player.
*We have fixed a bug in which new information may not have been added to your Pokédex after you received a Shiny Pokémon or a Pokémon caught by a Trainer who plays in a different language via Surprise Trade if you already had that species registered to your Pokédex.
*Objects such as Poké Balls could have been displayed in certain areas unintentionally. This has been fixed.
*Passersby are no longer displayed during certain battles that take place in towns during the main story.
*A number of other bug fixes have been implemented.

*The TM Preview image for {{m|Acrobatics}} mistakenly had remnants of a developer debugging menu, which was fixed.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230308132800/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1633457907777015809</ref>

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Wednesday, April 19, we released the version 1.3.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

'''Support for Trainers Who Caught an Egg Instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in Tera Raid Battles'''
Trainers who caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in a Tera Raid Battle before updating to version 1.2.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet were affected by a bug that prevented them from catching either of these Pokémon.

This bug has been fixed, and Trainers who caught such Eggs instead of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will now be able to catch these Pokémon.

In addition, the Tera Raid Battle events for these two Pokémon will return around the same time as this game update. Visit this page for details on the Tera Raid Battle events.

'''Feature Adjustments'''
A change has been made to the deadline for entries for Friendly Competitions, which are found in the Online Competitions section of the Battle Stadium.

*Before this change: Entries were allowed until the Friendly Competition began.
*After this change: Entries will be allowed until the Friendly Competition ends.

'''Bug Fixes'''
'''Link Battles'''

*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where selecting Swap in just before the selection timer reached zero could fail to switch in the selected Pokémon and subsequently cause switching — and the battle itself — to act abnormally.
*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where once the remaining time for the battle was under one minute, it would no longer be displayed where it was supposed to.
*Fixed a bug that occurred in Link Battles where, depending on the move being used at the time a Pokémon fainted, the amount of time a Trainer received to select their next Pokémon was reduced.
Battles

* Fixed a bug where the {{a|Cud Chew}} Ability would trigger again once every two turns after it triggered the first time, contrary to what is written in the Ability description.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark Terastallized while using its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon. On the Check Status screen, the Terastallized Zoroark's type would display as the original type of the Pokémon it had disguised itself as, rather than Zoroark's Tera Type.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon that had already Terastallized. This bug caused Zoroark's type on the Check Status screen to incorrectly display as the Tera Type of the Pokémon Zoroark had disguised itself as.
*Fixed a bug in Double Battles with moves that cause stat changes for the Pokémon using the moves. This bug caused the stat changes to incorrectly happen twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with the move while an opposing Pokémon was behind a Substitute.

'''Pokémon GO Connectivity'''

* Fixed the main issue causing the game to crash on the screen used to pair with a Pokémon GO account.

'''Other'''

*Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers' Pokédexes.
Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

*For Trainers who have not purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, additional Pokémon may appear via local or online communication modes.

'''Newly Added Features'''
*You will now be able lock the mini map that appears while you are out in the field so that up is always north. You can do this by pressing the Right Stick twice while you have the map app open to select the App and mini maps locked setting.
*Camera settings have been added to the Options menu. These settings will let you adjust how the camera works while you are out in the field.
*We have added a feature that allows you to signal a Pokémon accompanying you in the field to stop and wait where it is. To give this signal, press the Left Stick.
*You can now take pictures by pressing the A Button in the camera app.
*You can now play music by pressing the ZL Button or ZR Button while the camera app is open. You may find that Pokémon accompanying you in the field and people around you will react to the music.

*We have added a feature to TM Machines that allows you to filter for moves your Pokémon can learn. By interacting with a TM Machine and selecting the option to filter for learnable moves, you will be able to display only TMs containing moves that a specific Pokémon can learn.
Bug Fixes and Feature Adjustments
* Incorrect descriptive text for the moves Ceaseless Edge, Dire Claw, and Stone Axe has been corrected. The descriptions for these moves previously included the words “aiming to land a critical hit,” but these moves do not increase the critical-hit ratio in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. This wording has been removed from these descriptions.
*We have fixed a bug where the Itemfinder Mark would not be applied to a Pokémon even if the conditions were met.
*Wild Pokémon that have the Titan Mark will now reappear in the field after a certain amount of time if they have been defeated.
*We have made adjustments to the way Pokémon icons are displayed in the Boxes.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.
|
*Certain Pokémon had their data adjusted.
** {{p|Basculin}}'s catch rate was increased from 25 to 190
**Many Pokémon's [[TM]] compatibility was increased, often involving moves the evolutionary relatives could learn but that stage could not.
**Certain Pokémon acquired new [[Move Reminder]] and [[Egg Moves]]; most notably [[Lake guardians]] and [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Grimer}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, and {{p|Luvdisc}}, respectively, who did not have any at all.

'''Bug Fixes'''

*Under certain conditions, victories against the NPC Trainers scattered across the game world may not have been recorded. As a result, the rewards players could earn by winning a certain number of battles — such as from Pokémon League representatives in the Paldea region or Ogre Clan members in the land of Kitakami — were not obtainable. This bug has been fixed, so players who experienced this issue can now challenge affected NPC Trainers again to record their victories and subsequently receive any eligible rewards.
*It was not previously possible to transfer certain special Pokémon to Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet via Pokémon HOME if those Pokémon were brought into Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO, even if a Pokémon of the same species had already been obtained in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet prior to version 1.3.2. This bug has been fixed, and the issue has been resolved.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.
|
* Fixed a bug in Version 2.0.1 in which the game would crash when fighting the Paradise Protection Protocol's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} while having Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} registered in the [[Pokédex]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1712285713738142195</ref>

'''Bug Fixes'''

*If the player used items to level up an Inkay to Lv. 29 or lower, the game would stop responding to button input. This bug has been fixed.
*Some materials needed to craft TM223 (Metal Sound) were previously dropped by a Pokémon that appears in only one version of the game. This issue has been resolved. Shieldon Claws are no longer required to craft TM223 (Metal Sound).
*After players installed the Item Printer in the League Club Room, under certain circumstances players could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This bug has been fixed. Affected players can now get unstuck by speaking to the character next to the Item Printer and selecting “I want to print something!”
* When a Pokémon under the effect of Dragon Cheer was switched out of battle and then reentered that battle, its attacks would still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This bug has been fixed.
*Certain moves that Calyrex could learn via TM only while united with Glastrier or Spectrier would remain in Calyrex's move set even after Calyrex separated from Glastrier or Spectrier. Furthermore, even if those moves were forgotten, Calyrex could then remember those moves without being united with Glastrier or Spectrier. This bug has been fixed.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

*On June 19, 2023, it was announced that a future update would fix the move descriptions of {{m|Dire Claw}}, {{m|Ceaseless Edge}}, and {{m|Stone Axe}}, which incorrectly state that they have a high critical-hit ratio (as they did in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}).<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/en/page/115.html</ref> However, the June 28, 2023 update did not include this change, with the change instead being made in the following update.

** In Pokémon Masters EX, AZ's age is mentioned by {{mas|Calem}} and {{mas|Lysandre}}.

** At some points, it has been suggested that at least one year has passed since Ash started his [[Pokémon journey]]. However, those events did not affect Ash's age since he still remained 10 years old in the animated series episodes set after those events.
*** In the English version of ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash mentions that it has been a year since he visited [[Viridian City]]. However, this remark was not present in the Japanese version.

A Festival Farewell?]]'' (the episode she mentions only Pumpkaboo remembered her birthday), making her 26 years old as of XY.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to get focused on romance while James adds that he and Jessie are 5 years older than that.
** In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', {{p|Necrozma}}'s aura causes all the adults to feel lazy and lethargic, with no effect on children and teenagers. This affects Jessie and James, confirming that they are adults.
** More details about Jessie:
*** [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] radio drama has a flashback twenty years before the present time, when Jessie was a young child. This indicates that Jessie is currently over 20 years old.

Several occurrences in the [[core series]] Pokémon games depend on the games being connected to each other in a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. Series producer [[Junichi Masuda]], in an interview with Game Informer on October 24, 2019, stated that [[Game Freak]] does not apply a timeline to the [[Pokémon world]] rigorously.<ref group="lower-alpha">[https://web.archive.org/web/20240802164043/https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/game-freak-talks-sword-and-shields-champion-wild-area-interactions-and-more Game Freak Talks Sword And Shield's Champion, Wild Area Interactions, And More] by Brian Shea '''Masuda:''' ''It starts to get a little complicated if you pay too much attention to timelines. Like, there might be a professor that appears and it wouldn’t make sense at all if we applied that kind of timeline logic. So we try not to apply it too rigorously. Maybe one hint is that if a character is appearing with Professor Oak, they’re living in the same era. Rather than some series where it makes sense to have the timeline progress as you go and the story evolve, the approach that Pokémon takes is expanding the world, like what the regions are, and making it richer as we go. Rather than a timeline, it’s more of a physical space thing.''</ref>

On May 7, 2014, Game Freak employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]]'s Twitter account posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games up to that point.<ref name="Matsumiya">[https://archive.is/D9iPz Matsumiya tweet] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 Twitter])</ref> However, the tweet was subsequently deleted. The tweet does not mention remakes or upper versions besides {{B2W2}}, although most can be assumed to occur at the same point as the games they are based on due to their very similar stories. This tweet in conjunction with other evidence suggests the following timeline:
* The plots of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green}}, {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, and LeafGreen}} and {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}} are contemporaneous.
* They are then followed by the plots of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{pkmn|Platinum Version|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}} three years later, which are also contemporaneous with each other, although dialogue from [[Jasmine]] and [[Cynthia]] provides conflicting evidence on which games occur first.<ref name="Jasmine" group="lower-alpha">'''Jasmine''': "I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant." '''[[Erika]]''': "How did it go?" '''Jasmine''': "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."</ref><ref name="Cynthia" group="lower-alpha">'''Cynthia in HeartGold and SoulSilver''': "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." '''Cynthia in Platinum''': "No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina."</ref>
* {{game|Black and White|s}} are set some time after this, as evidenced by [[Caitlin]] having visibly aged, as well as Cynthia and the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] referencing previous events.
* {{B2W2}} are set two years after Black and White, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}.
* {{game4|SMUSUM}} take place two years after the events of Black 2 and White 2, as revealed by concept art of [[Grimsley]].<ref>Pokémon Sun and Moon Grimsley concept art</ref> Other notable characters such as {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} also appear notably aged since their appearance in HeartGold and SoulSilver.<ref>File:Red Concept Art.png Pokémon Sun and Moon Red concept art</ref>
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s placement is more vague, with little direct connection to previous games, though the [[Pokédex entry]] for {{p|Type: Null}} in Sword mentions that stolen research notes led to the creation of more Type: Null,<ref group="lower-alpha">'''Pokédex from Sword:''' ''Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the [[Galar]] region.''</ref> which may imply that they take place after the events of Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, as only three Type: Null exist in those games.
* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} take place after the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, as revealed by the presence of a copy of [[Sonia's Book|Galar: A History]], which was published during the events of Sword and Shield, at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, as well as [[Leon]] being referred to as the former [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Champion}} in [[The Indigo Disk]].
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is established to be set long before all other games in the series, taking place in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Hisui|distant past]], which culturally [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|corresponds to the Early Meiji period]] that began in 1868 in the real world. According to {{p|Spiritomb}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl]], it was bound to an [[Odd Keystone]] 500 years ago, and [[Vessa]] states in Legends: Arceus that Spiritomb was sealed hundreds of years ago (implying at least 200 years), meaning the game takes place at most 300 years prior to Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.
* {{g|Legends Z-A}} takes place five years after the events of X and Y.

{{p|Porygon}}'s Pokédex entries in Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon state that it was created 20 years ago.<ref name="Porygon" group="lower-alpha">'''Pokédex from Sun:''' ''Roughly 20 years ago, it was artificially created, utilizing the latest technology of the time''. Pokédex from Ultra Sun: ''This Pokémon was created using the cutting-edge science of 20 years ago, so many parts of it have since become obsolete''. Pokédex from Ultra Moon: ''It was built 20 years ago by scientists who dreamed of exploring space. Their dreams have yet to come true''.</ref> [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] states that Porygon was created in 1995, as well as stating that 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered as of 1996, alluding to the {{player}} having completed their [[Pokédex]] in Pokémon Red and Green,<ref group="lower-alpha">'''[[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]]''': ''As of 1996, thanks to the investigative and research efforts of [[Professor Oak|Prof. Oak]], 150 species of Pokémon have been discovered''. ''#118. Porygon: In 1995, [[Silph Co.]], which undertakes R&D into Pokémon and related products, successfully applied state-of-the-art technology to create this man-made Pokémon''.</ref> thus implying that Pokémon Red and Green take place in either 1995 (the year Porygon was created) or 1996. This would mean that Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon take place 19–20 years after Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow; from this information and the time lengths between other games in the series, it can be calculated that the time period between [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} and Pokémon Black and White is 12–13 years long. However, the length of this time gap has never been explicitly confirmed in any official material, with Toshinobu Matsumiya having described it as "secret" on Twitter.<ref>"''Elapsed time is secret. Imagine freely!''" - Toshinobu Matsumiya. May 10, 2014. [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/465154051173130240 Twitter]</ref>

Although Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, they contain some references to features from the original games as having been present about a decade ago,<ref group="lower-alpha">'''A {{tc|Bug Catcher}} in [[Rustboro City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]''': I heard that Pokémon Centers had two stories up until around 10 years ago! And they used to have a special area called a “Pokémon Cable Club”!" '''A {{tc|Battle Girl}} in [[Dewford Gym]]''': "A long time ago at Dewford Gym, it was always dark inside. We trained our minds by practicing in the dark!" '''An old man in [[Fallabor Town]]'s [[Contest Hall]]''': I just love making [[Pokéblock]]s! In the old days it used to take four of us to make a Pokéblock with this machine. A machine that was used to mix {{Berries}} in this region long ago." '''A man on [[Mt. Pyre]]''': "This used to be a desolate place. The ground had holes here and there, and I used to fall in!" '''{{ho|Mom}}''': "The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!" (12 in the Japanese and Korean versions) '''[[Norman]]''': "Hmm? Is that an [[Eon Ticket]] you have there? Hm...it’s been a good 11 years since I last saw a ticket like this..."</ref> while others have not yet come about, such as the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which is under construction. Despite this, the remakes are implied to happen at the same point in the timeline as the original games, as the [[Royal Unova]] and a device to visually reproduce the dreams of Pokémon having not yet been created reveals them to take place before Pokémon Black and White<ref group="lower-alpha">([[Oceanic Museum]]) '''“The Royal Unova”''' ''“A model of the sunset cruiser currently being built in the Unova region. It’s scheduled to be complete in — years.” The number is too faint to be read.''</ref><ref group="lower-alpha">'''[[Devon Corporation|Devon]]'s scientist''': "I'm trying to develop a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon... And I’ve heard that my [[Fennel|rival]], who lives [[Unova|far away]], is doing the same research! I can't lose this race."</ref> and [[Mr. Bonding]] gaining [[O-Power]]s reveals them to take place before Pokémon X and Y.<ref group="lower-alpha">'''Mr. Bonding''': "HEY! This...this power! This power is incredible! I feel tied to these [[Old guys|old men]] with such strong bonds now! I feel like a totally different man!"</ref>

Although {{LGPE}} are remakes of Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are known to have already finished their journeys years ago, and [[Mina]]'s age mentioned in her concept art would suggest that the games are set a maximum of six years before Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon,<ref>Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! [[Mina]] concept art</ref><ref group="lower-alpha">'''[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]''': "I mean, we have to move on from being [[Trial Captain|captains]] when we turn 20 anyway". ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> implying that they take place later than the original game. However, this is contradicted by [[Sabrina]] having a vision of meeting a special Trainer in three years, referencing the protagonist of Generation II, suggesting these games may not necessarily adhere to the timeline of the rest of the core series.

The specific years of events are not mentioned in the games themselves, but Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia implies that Pokémon Red and Green take place in 1995 or 1996, the latter being the year in which they were released; this year is also referenced in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon on Red's shirt, which features a symbol resembling the number "96". Pokémon Gold and Silver are known to occur three years later, also aligning with their release in 1999. Similarly, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are set two years after Pokémon Black and White, which was also the amount of time that passed between the releases of the games. References to the passage of time in real life also appear in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, in which the player's [[Mom (Hoenn)|mother]] states that she saw the [[Litleonids]] when they last occurred 12 (in the Japanese and Korean versions) or 11 (in the English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish versions) years ago, referencing the time between the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and their remakes, and [[Norman]] mentions having seen the [[Eon Ticket]] 11 years ago, referencing how long had passed from the item's original distribution in 2003 to the release of the games. Similarly, in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, the description of the [[Member Card]] mentions that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago; the date shown on the card's official artwork (1958.12.1) is exactly 50 years prior to its first distribution.

The existence of [[Pokémon multiverse|multiple alternate universes]] is alluded to or stated in some of the games. Different game versions tend to have subtle differences in their worlds and timeline. This is confirmed to be the case between {{game|Black and White|s}} and between {{B2W2}}. {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} are implied to take place in a different world from one another based on dialogue from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|OR}}, referencing alternative versions between games.<ref>"''There has been something on my mind ever since the incident in Sootopolis... In another time, or perhaps another world, one only a fraction of an inch removed from our own, it seems very likely that it would have been us in Team Magma standing against you in that battle... Perhaps we would have been the ones trying to revive Groudon and obtain its terrible power for ourselves...''" -[[Maxie]] ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha sapphire}})</ref> In the same titles, [[Zinnia]] alludes to the possibility of a world where [[Mega Evolution]] went undiscovered and the [[ultimate weapon]] was never built, a potential reference to {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the original set of games that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were based before Mega Evolution was introduced. Zinnia's theory is subtly confirmed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]], where a version of Archie and Maxie based on their original designs appear, but use their [[party|teams]] from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire without any reference to Mega Evolution or [[Primal Reversion]]. Episode RR notably features a [[Giovanni]] from another world who had gathered previous villainous leaders from worlds in which they succeeded. {{g|Sun and Moon}} are also suggested to take place in different universes from one another.<ref group="lower-alpha">[https://web.archive.org/web/20161119054356/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/sept-6-sunmoon-differences/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon official website] ''"A thorough analysis of the secrets of the two different worlds of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon!"''</ref> alternate worlds, including those similar to [[Alola]], appear beyond [[Ultra Space]] in both Sun and Moon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and is a recurring theme between the titles. The [[space-time rift]] of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} are suggested to link different worlds together.<ref group="lower-alpha">[[Cogita]]: "''The space-time rift is said to be a portal to innumerable other dimensions[...]''"</ref><ref group="lower-alpha">[[Ingo]]: "''If you fell from the sky... you come from another world altogether, most likely.''"</ref> In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, [[time travel]] is a recurring element, with [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} having built a [[time machine]] that seems to be capable of catching Pokémon from other timelines. After the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], the player encounters a version of the professor that is implied to either be from the past or a different timeline. The [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, [[space-time distortion]]s and [[time machine]] from the three above titles all collectively have had actions of [[dimension|interdimensional]] and [[time travel]] functions.

===Beginning of the [[Pokémon universe]]===
[[File:Kyogre Groudon legend.png|thumb|250px|The clash between {{P|Groudon}} and {{P|Kyogre}} as depicted in ancient paintings]]
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first being in existence. Arceus then creates time: {{p|Dialga}}, space: {{p|Palkia}}, and anti-matter: {{p|Giratina}}. However, Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia then succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]] and retreat into their own [[dimension]]s afterwards.
* Arceus then creates knowledge: {{p|Uxie}}, emotion: {{p|Mesprit}}, and willpower: {{p|Azelf}}; they would then share these three traits to all living creatures that would be born in the universe. Eventually the three dive into caves at the bottom of three lakes in Sinnoh: [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]], giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".
* [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and Primal {{p|Groudon}} are formed by the primal energy in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] and then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until {{p|Rayquaza}} quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they rest in for years. The [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, {{p|Mew}} may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers. Rayquaza flies around the ozone layer, protecting the planet from asteroids.
* Landmasses such as [[Mount Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming the [[Region|regions]].
* The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mount Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world, and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the [[Adamant Crystal]], the [[Lustrous Globe]], and the [[Griseous Core]], artifacts connected to Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, respectively, before falling into a deep slumber in its own [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|realm]].

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil]]s and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

'''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''
* The earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] existed at this time. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species.

* 300,000,000 years ago: {{p|Genesect}}'s original version lived in this era, lacking its enhancements made by [[Team Plasma]] in the future. {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} also lived in this era in the sea.

* Hundreds of millions of years ago: {{p|Carbink}} begins its undisturbed underground sleep after its birth. It was born from deep underground temperatures and pressures.

* 100,000,000 years ago:
** Species such as {{p|Omanyte}}, its Evolution: {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Lileep}}, its Evolution: {{p|Cradily}}, {{p|Cranidos}}, its Evolution: {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Shieldon}}, its Evolution: {{p|Bastiodon}}, {{p|Tirtouga}}, its Evolution: {{p|Carracosta}}, {{p|Archen}}, its Evolution: {{p|Archeops}}, {{p|Tyrunt}}, its Evolution: {{p|Tyrantrum}}, {{p|Amaura}}, and its Evolution: {{p|Aurorus}} were all supposedly widespread. They all ultimately went extinct, but not before Archen gave rise to bird Pokémon and Tirtouga gave rise to turtle Pokémon. Shellder also appear to exist in this era, being preyed by Omastar. Tropius also appear to exist.<ref>{{img|AerodactylVLostOrigin180.jpg|Aerodactyl V (Lost Origin 180)}}</ref>
** {{p|Relicanth}} is said to have existed in this era as well, remaining unchanged until the present day.

* {{p|Anorith}} is stated to have existed in primordial seas, with its eight legs at some point developing into its known eight wings. This probably means its Evolution: {{p|Armaldo}}, existed in that time as well. {{p|Anorith}} gave rise to [[Bug (Egg Group)|bug]] Pokémon.

* The original forms of the [[Fossilized Drake]], [[Fossilized Dino|Dino]], [[Fossilized Bird|Bird]], and [[Fossilized Fish|Fish]] are said to have existed in ancient times. The combined halves of these Pokémon would become {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}} and {{p|Arctovish}} in the present day.

* 2,000,000 years ago:
** The [[Area Zero Underdepths]] may have been formed by seismic shifts, according to [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}.
** {{p|Terapagos}} is said to have inhabited [[Paldea]] in a bygone era. It was thought that this species went extinct, having been caught up in seismic shifts, however, at least [[Terapagos (game)|one]] managed to survive it by changing the [[Terastal energy|energy]] in its body and turning into a crystal, laying dormant in the [[Area Zero]] Underdepths.

* 1,000,000 years ago: The [[Great Crater of Paldea]] is formed.

* 20,000 years ago:
** A meteorite containing {{p|Eternatus}} fell in the [[Galar]] region.
** The first {{p|Claydol}} was brought to life from a clay doll.

* 10,000 years ago:
** During the last Ice Age, the {{p|Mamoswine}} population flourished, then decreased when the Ice Age ended.
** {{p|Cyclizar}} existed in this era and lived alongside humans, being ridden by them so the Pokémon can be warmed up.
** Around this time, {{P|Regigigas}} creates [[Legendary giants|golems in its image]], {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, out of clay, ice, and magma, respectively. At some point later, Regigigas also created two more, {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, out of a cluster of electric energy, and crystallized dragon energy, respectively.
** {{p|Sandy Shocks}} was born, according to [[Occulture|dubious sources]].

* At some point in the distant past, the {{p|Magikarp}} population mutates due to unknown reasons and becomes weaker.

* At some point after the Iron Age, {{P|Regigigas}} is sealed away by humans in the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in [[Sinnoh]] for fear of its power. Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are sealed away at various points across [[Hoenn]], the [[Sinnoh]], and the [[Galar]] regions. Regieleki and Regidrago were also sealed away, but together in Galar's [[Crown Tundra]].

* 5,000 years ago: {{p|Gogoat}} is domesticated and humans begin using them for transport.
'''Many years before [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Legends: Arceus]]:'''

* An [[ancient hero]] traveled around the [[Hisui]] region and befriended 10 powerful Pokémon: a {{p|Wyrdeer}}, a {{p|Kleavor}}, a [[Hisuian Form|Hisuian]] {{p|Lilligant}}, an {{p|Ursaluna}}, a male {{p|Basculegion}}, a Hisuian {{p|Arcanine}}, a Hisuian {{p|Electrode}}, a [[Sneasler]], a Hisuian {{p|Braviary}}, and a Hisuian {{p|Avalugg}}. Together they found each and every of {{ga|Arceus}}'s [[Plate]]s and eventually reached Arceus itself, who granted them all of them its blessing after defeating it in battle. As years go by, the hero's Pokémon's descendants would be worshiped by the people of Hisui and would be known as the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} and [[Noble Pokémon]], as Arceus's blessing is passed down to them.
* The [[Temple of Sinnoh]], statues of {{p|Dialga}}, {{P|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and statues of the [[ancient hero]]'s 10 Pokémon were built in [[Hisui]].

'''3,000 years before [[Generation V]]:'''
* The {{cat|Relic items}} are created along with the city that would become the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. This site also features the oldest dated writing system, however it is a mystery if the Pokémon [[Unown (Pokémon)|Unown]] predates this writing system or not.

'''3,000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''
[[File:Ultimate Weapon.png|thumb|250px|[[AZ]] and the [[ultimate weapon]]]]
* A war occurred in [[Kalos]], which caused the death of an {{fd|Floette|Eternal Flower Floette}} that belonged to the Kalos's king, [[AZ]]. In grief, the king built a machine that through [[Infinity Energy]], brought Floette back to life, as well as granting both the king and the Pokémon eternal life. Unable to overcome his despair however, AZ turns his machine into the [[ultimate weapon]] and used it to end the war, which left Floette disgusted by his actions, deciding to leave him. After that, the former king started to wander aimlessly around the world.

'''3,000 years before [[Generation VIII]]:'''
* A black storm called the [[Darkest Day]] is created by {{form|Eternatus|Eternamax}} {{p|Eternatus}}, causing countless Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] around the Galar region, but it was stopped by {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and [[First kings of Galar|two human youths]]. While the two Pokémon are forgotten by history, the two youths are crowned as the region's new kings.
* {{p|Melmetal}} is worshipped by ancient humans for its ability to create metal from nothing.

'''2,500 years before [[Generation V]]:'''
* The [[Relic Castle]] is built.
** The [[Dragonspiral Tower]] is known as Unova's oldest structure, though its age is unstated.

'''2,000 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* {{p|Conkeldurr}} is said to have taught humans how to make concrete using centrifugal force.

'''2,000 years before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}:'''
* [[Hoenn]] is plagued by meteor showers. A meteor turns the homeplace of the [[Draconid people]] into [[Meteor Falls]].
* The world overflowed with natural energy which Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} fought over. They ravaged the earth and were only defeated and put to slumber by {{p|Rayquaza}} after the Draconid people summoned it using a wish on a meteor at Meteor Falls. The people of Hoenn begin to revere Rayquaza as a savior.

'''2,000 years before [[Generation IX]]:'''
*The Paldean Empire began to rule [[Paldea]].
* The emperor of Paldea ushers in the Great Age of Exploration by sending expeditions into the Great Crater of Paldea to find the treasure rumored to lie inside.

'''1,000 to 2,000 years before [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Legends: Arceus]]:'''
* The ancient Sinnoh people worshiped {{ga|Arceus}}, which they referred to as "almighty Sinnoh."

'''1,500 years before [[Generation I]]:'''
* The [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]] are built.
* The {{p|Farfetch'd}} population decreases due to overhunting.

'''1,000 years before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}:'''
* AZ arrived in Hoenn and planted a tree in front of the [[Cave of Origin]]'s entrace.
* A thousand years after the events at Meteor Falls, a primal energy-filled meteor struck Hoenn, creating a crater that would become Sootopolis City in the future. {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} reawakened to fight over primal energy once again. The people of Hoenn wished on {{p|Rayquaza}} to save them, and using the meteor, Rayquaza performed the world's first [[Mega Evolution]], defeated the two, took away their [[Primal Reversion|Primal forms]] and put them to sleep once again. [[Sky Pillar]] was built in Rayquaza's honor, and the [[Draconid people]] promised to pass down the prophecy that in 1,000 years the meteor would return - causing the events of the [[Delta Episode]].
'''805 years before [[Generation IX]]:'''

* [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} is founded in [[Mesagoza]].

'''800 years before {{pkmn|X and Y}}:'''
* {{p|Xerneas}} released life energy throughout the Kalos region and fled to a forest, where it went to sleep in the form of a tree.
*{{p|Yveltal}} absorbed life energy throughout the Kalos region and fled to the mountains, where it went to sleep in the form of a cocoon.
'''Years before [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Legends: Arceus]]:'''

* The [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan|Pearl Clans]] arrived in [[Hisui]] from across the sea and took the name of the Celestica people as their own. The clans both worshiped a deity known as "{{ga|Arceus|almighty Sinnoh}}", with the Diamond Clan claiming it was a {{p|Dialga|deity of time}} and the Pearl Clan claiming it was a {{p|Palkia|deity of space}}. This disagreement set off a long-running feud between the two clans. Both of the clans also came to venerate the descendants of the ancient Noble and Ride Pokémon and appointed themselves as [[warden]]s to tend to their needs.

The students are told to learn of the history of Kitakami by visiting three signboards that detail the story of {{p|Ogerpon}} and the [[Loyal Three]]. Florian/Juliana pairs up with Kieran for this task. During the first night of the annual [[Festival of Masks]], Florian/Juliana and Carmine have an encounter with Ogerpon, which Carmine forces them to keep secret from Kieran. The next day, Florian/Juliana and Carmine learn that the Loyal Three were actually the bad guys, while Ogerpon was their victim, the opposite of what most people of Kitakami believe. Kieran, overhearing the story, feels betrayed for having been kept from learning the truth about Florian/Juliana and Carmine's encounter with Ogerpon. When the Loyal Three are suddenly resurrected from their grave and steak Ogerpon's three masks from [[Kitakami Hall]], Florian/Juliana work hard to retrieve them, while Kieran succeeds in convincing the townspeople of Ogerpon's innocence. Instead of returning to its home, however, Ogerpon chooses to come with Florian/Juliana, making Kieran feel even more betrayed when he and Carmine are forced to return to Blueberry Academy.
**After the stopping the time machine and the events of [[The Teal Mask]], Florian/Juliana travels to Blueberry Academy as an exchange student, where Kieran is revealed do have become the Champion of the school's {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}. Despite their exchange student status, Florian/Juliana is eventually approved to receive a permission to participate in it. Defeating the {{tc|BB League Elite Four}}, Florian/Juliana is given the right to challenge Kieran, who, despite his significant improvement, ultimately loses to them once again. After his defeat, [[Briar]], a teacher at Blueberry Academy, invites Florian/Juliana, Carmine, and Kieran to join her on an expedition to Area Zero to discover {{p|Terapagos}}. They succeed in accessing the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] and finding Terapagos, which Kieran hopes to use to finally defeat Florian/Juliana. When Terapagos's powers go out of control, however, he is instead forced to join Florian/Juliana in defeating it, allowing Florian/Juliana to catch it for themselves. Kieran, experiencing a change of heart, reconciles with Florian/Juliana as they return to Blueberry Academy.

He subsequently rescues a girl named [[Rui]], who has the ability to see the dark auras produced by [[Shadow Pokémon]], Pokémon turned into heartless fighting machines by the criminal syndicate [[Cipher]]. Wes and Rui set out to [[Snagging|snag]] all of the Shadow Pokémon across Orre in order to thwart Cipher's plans and [[Purification|purify]] the corrupted Pokémon back to their original states. In doing so, Wes repeatedly defeats Cipher's four {{tc|Cipher Admin|Admins}}, ultimately confronting and defeating their boss [[Evice]] at the organization's base at [[Realgam Tower]].

Defeating an army of {{tc|Cipher Peon}}s and all the new Cipher Admins along the way, he finally confronts Cipher's Grand Master [[Greevil]] and his ultimate Shadow Pokémon, the supposedly unpurifiable [[Shadow Lugia]]. With Greevil and Lugia eventually bested, Cipher is defeated once more. Convinced by one of his sons, [[Eldes]], to atone for his wrongdoings, Greevil turns himself in. Michael then proceeds to purify Shadow Lugia with the Purify Chamber and snag the last remaining Shadow Pokémon from Miror B., ending the second "Shadow incident" and restoring peace to Orre once more.

'''Cheren''' (Japanese: '''チェレン''' ''Cheren'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}, and the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Aspertia City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Aspertia Gym]], in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. As a Gym Leader, he [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Basic}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
===Role===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
Cheren is a childhood friend of the {{player}} who also lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]]. As he holds a greater degree of knowledge about Pokémon than his friends and tends to offer the player advice during the course of their journey, his comments are often witty and intellectual. He also misunderstands [[Bianca]]'s humor often, to her dismay. While [[Professor Juniper]] describes him as being very honest, she also remarks that he can be 'a little difficult'; his impatience in particular is often seen throughout the earlier stages of his journey. He is also described as being quite judgmental by [[Alder]].

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Cheren represents those who pursue ideals—more precisely, as [[N]] pointed out in [[Chargestone Cave]], the ideal of strength. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}} and he always strives to become stronger. However, when Alder asked him for the first time why he strives to become stronger, he was quite unsure of his reasons. He then starts to ponder to himself how to do so—something that Alder said he used to do with his partner Pokémon as well—and what exactly it means to be strong. Alder also remarked that Cheren is a lot like [[Marshal]].

Like the player and Bianca, Cheren receives a [[first partner Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Juniper]] at the start of the game. He always chooses the first partner Pokémon with a [[type]] advantage over the player's first partner Pokémon. The player will encounter and battle him several times throughout the game. After the main storyline, Cheren can be found on {{rt|5|Unova}}. After talking to him there, he moves to {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, where he can be battled once a day.

====[[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]====
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Cheren is the new {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] in [[Aspertia City]], the player's hometown. He gives away the {{Badge|Basic}}, replacing [[Lenora]]. Trainers who defeat Cheren will receive the Basic Badge, along with {{TM|83|Work Up}}. Outside of battle, Cheren works as a teacher at the Aspertia Trainer School, with one of his pupils being {{tc|Lass}} Serena in the [[Aspertia Gym]], according to her.

Cheren appears numerous times throughout the game, such as in {{ci|Driftveil}} and [[Opelucid City]], as well as {{rt|21|Unova}}. He gives the player and [[Hugh]] advice and guidance on the current situation, such as the freezing of Opelucid City, where [[Drayden]] learns of Cheren's ascension to the position of Aspertia Gym Leader.

After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Cheren can be found at [[Pinwheel Forest]], investigating the activities of [[Team Plasma]]. He will accompany the player as a [[Multi Battle]] partner. After encountering [[Gorm]], Cheren will thank the player with an [[Upgrade|Up-Grade]] and then return to the [[Aspertia Gym]].

He can be called on the [[Xtransceiver]] to give the player advice on types and {{Abilities}}.

==Quotes==
{{main|Cheren/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Cheren anime.png|thumb|250px|Cheren in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Cheren was mentioned by [[Professor Juniper]] in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', where she explained that he was a new [[Gym Leader]] located at [[Aspertia City]]. Cheren physically appeared in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him at the [[Aspertia Gym]], where they learned that he was also a teacher at the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], which was located at the [[Gym]]. When {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} accidentally caused loud noises on the School's PA, making all the School's Pokémon run wildly around, Ash, Iris, and Cilan helped Cheren to gather them.

Finally, only a {{p|Shinx}} was left. When it was too scared to come closer, Cheren went to it, and, ignoring its {{t|Electric}} shocks, managed to calm it down. Afterwards, Cheren agreed to have an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash. Ash used his {{AP|Oshawott}}, while Cheren used his {{p|Herdier}}. Cheren eventually won the battle, with Herdier taking Oshawott out with a [[super effective]] {{m|Thunder Fang}}.

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Cheren made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

====Character====
Cheren is personable and calm, though he has a tendency to overthink.

Cheren appeared in the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer]]. He first had a Gym battle against {{ga|Rosa}}, using his {{p|Stoutland}} against her {{p|Serperior}}. He had a little difficulty after Stoutland was hit by Serperior's {{m|Slam}}. However, he managed to have Stoutland overcome {{m|Frenzy Plant}} using {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Rosa then commented that she was just getting started in the battle, and Cheren agreed with her. Later on, he was seen with {{ga|Nate}} and [[Hugh]] on the [[Plasma Frigate]]. As {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s surrounded the three of them, Cheren commented on how bothersome they were and prepared to battle them.

===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
[[File:Cheren PBW.png|thumb|150px|Cheren in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
Cheren is friends with both [[Monta]] and Bianca. He is very knowledgeable about Pokémon, which Monta dislikes. Anywhere Monta slips up he won't hesitate to tell him the right way.

He first appears with Bianca when Monta is attempting to capture a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Patrat}} and {{p|Watchog}}. Monta is just about to capture the Watchog which Cheren tells him that it is not the right way. He explains to Monta to remember that when two Pokémon come out at the same time, one should knock out the one they don't want before they can get the one that they do want. Cheren suddenly decides for all of them to take their Pokémon journey together, which a man on his bike overhears. He starts insulting them making him and Monta angry.

He uses Tepig in a Double Battle with Monta's {{p|Snivy}} against a Biker King's {{p|Braviary}}, it looks like they were about to lose, but they uses a combination attack which Cheren thinks of, fainting Braviary. Cheren battles Monta in ''[[PBW2|The Key to Triple Battles]]'' using his Tepig, {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and {{p|Roggenrola}}. He starts off with a lecture about [[Triple Battle]]s. With his great knowledge of triple battles he gives Monta a hard time, but is eventually defeated. He has traveled with Monta and Bianca from time to time.

Cheren battles Monta in ''[[PBW8|The Birth of the Best Pokémon Trainer!]]'' in a Single and Triple Battle. Even though the Single Battle was easier for Monta, Cheren gave him a hard time in the Triple Battle.

After Snivy tries a {{m|Vine Whip}} which hardly does any damage, he goes in for a fire attack which hardly does any damage too. Tepig is then sent flying with {{m|Peck}}. It goes in with a Fire Pledge with {{m|Grass Pledge}} creating the combination needed to defeat Braviary.

It battles Monta in ''[[PBW2|The Key to Triple Battles]]'' with {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. It starts off with an Ember on Snivy, before taking a hit for Basculin by switching places with it, not hurting it much. But seconds later, Panpour uses {{m|Surf}} fainting it.

Tepig reappeared as an {{p|Emboar}} where it fought with Monta's {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Victini}} and {{p|Zekrom}} in the Single and Triple Battle.

Emboar's known moves are {{m|Fire Pledge}}, {{m|Ember}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, and {{m|Blast Burn}}.}}

Due to Arata's cowardly personality, he sent out his {{p|Samurott}} to reveal where he was hiding. After Arata explained what he was doing with Keldeo, two Team Plasma Grunts arrived with their ambition on catching Keldeo.

===Pocket Monsters BW: Meetings with the Legends===
Cheren appeared as a supporting character and a friend of {{OBP|Touya|MWL}} in [[Pocket Monsters BW: Meetings with the Legends]]. He was first seen going up to Touya after Touya had a discussion with [[N]] about their dreams. Cheren, Touya, and [[Bianca]] discussed about the speech [[Team Plasma]] delivered. When two Team Plasma grunts took a little girl's {{p|Minccino}}, Cheren decided to go after Ghetsis and the rest of Team Plasma to see what they're going to do next.

He headed to [[Icirrus City]] where he gave Touya and Bianca a call on the [[Xtransceiver]] to come over to the [[Icirrus Gym|Gym]]. He explained to the two that Team Plasma were about to make [[Brycen]] release his Pokémon. While Team Plasma began their assault in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], Cheren, Bianca, and Brycen stayed behind to take the grunts on.

==Trivia==
* Cheren's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|真理を　求める　者|The Person who Seeks Truth}}.
* Cheren, [[Bianca]], and [[N]] are the only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in {{2v2|Black|White}} with animated battle sprites.
* In Black and White, whenever the player defeats Cheren, he always leaves in the direction of the player's next objective. This is the opposite of Bianca, who always heads in the direction that the player just came from.
* Cheren is the only Gym Leader who gives out a [[Badge]] previously given out by another Gym Leader in a different [[Gym]].
* Cheren is the only {{type|Normal}} Gym Leader in the {{pkmn|anime}} that {{Ash}} did not have a [[rematch]] with after losing a {{pkmn|battle}}.
* In Black and White, if the player character manages to beat Bianca in their first battle without taking any damage, Cheren will make a note on how the player somehow won without taking any damage. As the scenario requires Bianca to use status moves the entire fight, the dialog is next to impossible to actually trigger.

'''Bianca''' (Japanese: '''ベル''' ''Bel'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from the [[Unova]] [[region]].

She is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}} and an [[Professors' aides|Assistant Pokémon Professor]] to [[Professor Juniper]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

==In the core series games==
===Role===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
Like the player, Bianca lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]], and is also a childhood friend of the {{player}} (and soon-to-be [[rival]]). Though being described as 'flighty' by Professor Juniper and [[Cheren]], she also has a strong and determined side, which she demonstrates by embarking on a [[Pokémon journey]] despite [[Bianca's father|her father]]'s strong opposition. This is emphasized in [[Nimbasa City]], where her father disallows her to become a Pokémon Trainer. With the help of Nimbasa City [[Gym Leader]] [[Elesa]], Bianca convinces her father to let her follow her dream.

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Bianca represents those who pursue truth—this is highlighted when [[N]] comments that Bianca had to face the truth that not everyone can become stronger. She often admits that she is not a strong Trainer compared to the player and Cheren and thinks about what she ''can'' do in life (whereas Cheren is seen to ponder about what he ''should'' do). Later in the game, she decides to research and learn more about Pokémon with Juniper. Even though she is not as strong in battles as her childhood friends, Bianca discovers that by becoming a Pokémon researcher, she too can make valuable contributions to the Pokémon world.

Like the player and Cheren, Bianca receives a [[first partner Pokémon]] as a gift from Professor Juniper at the start of the game; she chooses the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's first partner Pokémon. The player encounters Bianca on several occasions, where she often challenges the player to a battle.

After the player has defeated [[Alder]] twice, she will be around to battle them on weekends in Nuvema Town.

====[[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]====
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Bianca appears as Professor Juniper's assistant, giving the {{player}} their [[first partner Pokémon]]. She, after not seeing him for two years, will also be reunited with Cheren in [[Aspertia City]].

She appears several times throughout the game, generally running errands for Professor Juniper, such as looking for {{p|Tynamo}} in [[Chargestone Cave]]. She will accompany the player as a [[Multi Battle]] partner on the player's first visit to [[Reversal Mountain]] while she investigates the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Heatran}}. She also appears as a participant of the [[Mix Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

She can be called on the [[Xtransceiver]] to figure out the player's current [[Friendship]] level with Pokémon in their party. After the player has defeated the {{pkmn|Champion}}, she can also figure out whether a Pokémon in the player's party has reached its effective cap in [[effort values]] for any stat (252), or overall (510).

==Trivia==
* Bianca, [[Cheren]], and [[N]] are the only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in {{2v2|Black|White}} with animated battle sprites.
* When Black and White were first released, Bianca was widely misreported to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{un|Pokémon League}}.
* Bianca is the first rival who chooses the [[first partner Pokémon]] with a type disadvantage to the {{player}}'s first partner Pokémon.
* Bianca is the first female rival who isn't also a [[player character]], and the first female character to always act as a rival regardless of the player character's gender.
* In Black and White, whenever the player defeats Bianca, she always leaves in the direction that the player just came from. This is the opposite of Cheren, who always heads in the direction of the player's next objective.
* In Black and White, Bianca always defeats every [[Gym]] after the player and Cheren.
* In Black and White, if the player character manages to beat Bianca in their first battle without taking any damage, Cheren will make a note on how the player somehow won without taking any damage. As the scenario is highly unlikely to ever happen, the dialog is next to impossible to actually trigger.

2024-08-28T06:22:16Z

Inkster: Rereading the interview, it explicitly says "It is unclear whether this was in BW or BW2". "As of" also implies these character appeared in prior games. Tyme's age was also never brought up.

This is a '''list of characters and their confirmed ages''' across the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

==In the core series games==
===Kanto===
* {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are 11 years old as [[Generation I]], and 14 years old as of [[Generation II]].
** Red's age is mentioned, and Blue is said to be the same age as him, in the player's story from the Japanese and English manuals of the Generation I games (except their ages are not mentioned in the English manual of Pokémon Yellow).
**: ''"You are an 11-year-old boy living with your mother. Your rival lives next door to you. [...] He sees you as his rival because you are the same age and height."''
* [[Primo]] is 27 years old as of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
** His age is mentioned in the Japanese song "[[Teach Me, Poké Dude!]]" from the [[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection]].

===Johto===
* {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|Lyra}}, and {{ga|Silver}} are about the same age.
** The {{tc|Poké Maniac}} in [[Cianwood City]] appears to describe Silver as a "guy about your age with piercing eyes and long hair". This quote is said regardless of who is the current player character.
* [[Pryce]] is over 50 years old.
** The [[Gym guide]] states that Pryce has trained Pokémon for "some 50 years".
* [[Maximo]] is 30 years old as of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Hoenn===
* Several character ages are mentioned in the {{DL|TV Mauville|Hoenn News Network}} from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:

**: ''"The name's Aarune. Put'er there. Unova-born and twenty-five years old."''

* [[Battle Maison]] characters from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:

===Alola===
* {{ga|Elio}}, {{ga|Selene}}, [[Hau]], and [[Lillie]] are at least 11 years old in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]. The player can be no older than 14 years old.
** When asked by [[Wicke]], Hau says that he is 11, which is the minimum age to enter the Island Challenge:
** The player can respond with either ''"Yeah, I am"'' or ''"How'd you know?"''.
**: ''"Yeah, I took the first chance I had to join in the island challenge once I turned 11!"''
** Elio and Selene are able to pay {{PDollar}}1,000 to get into the [[Kantonian Gym]], which is only allowed for children under 15 years old. They are also to buy Z-Noodles in [[Seafolk Village]] for {{PDollar}}500, which is only allowed for people under 20 years old.
** Hau and Lillie are the same age as the player character, according to both the Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon websites:
**: ''"Hau is a Pokémon-loving young boy with a big appetite! He's the same age as your character."''<ref name="sm-website">[https://web.archive.org/web/20161119143906/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/people-alola/ Official Pokémon Sun and Moon website (archived)]</ref>

**: ''"Hau is a boy who becomes your friend as soon as you move to Alola. He’s the same age as you. Hau is known to be a laid-back guy, but through the island challenge, he will come to terms with his reasons for participating in Pokémon battles."''<ref name="usum website"/>
**: ''"Lillie is a girl about your age. She’s acting as Professor Kukui’s assistant for her own reasons. After experiencing many things during her adventures with you, Lillie will discover a new side of herself."''<ref name="usum website">[https://web.archive.org/web/20171103020011/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/alola-region.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Website (archived)] "Lillie is a girl about your age."</ref>

** According to [[Hala]], the children of Alola embark upon the island challenge once they turn 11:
**: ''"The island challenge Kukui spoke of... It is a journey to overcome your own limitations, as you travel to the far corners of Alola and meet with others along the path. It is the great adventure that children in the Alola region embark upon, along with their Pokémon, once they reach 11 years of age!"''
** According to Mallow, Trial Captains move on from that position once they turn 20:
**: ''"I mean, we have to move on from being captains when we turn 20 anyway."''
** According to Kiawe, Hiker David is being considered as Kiawe's replacement after he leaves his position.
** [[Molayne]] gave his position to [[Sophocles]], implying that he is at least 20.

*The [[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide|Pokémon Sun and Moon guidebook]] translates a piece of [[Gladion]]'s concept art as "gotta express that middle-school arrogance and being emo"

===Galar===
* [[Sonia]] and [[Leon]] assert that they are adults and the player character ({{ga|Victor}} or {{ga|Gloria}}) and [[Hop]] are kids, but their actual ages are not otherwise known.

**: ''"I'm really looking forward to seeing you compete in the Finals. So you should leave the investigation on the quaking to the adults."''
** After losing his Champion title, Leon says to the crowd:
**: ''"It's time we adults started working on improving the here and now, for the sake of all that's to come!"''

* [[Melony]] is at least 30 years old.
** In her Normal League Card, it is stated that she has been a [[Gym Leader]] since she was in her twenties.
* [[Opal]] is 88 years old.

**: ''"Hmm. You look to be 15 or so. Quite old enough to work for your keep."''
* [[Calaba]] is 99 years old as of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
** Her age is mentioned by [[Volo]].
**: ''"Miss Calaba is doing everything she can to regain the fragment, but at 99 years old... It's a bit hard for her to chase leads all over the place."''

*: ''"You look like you're itching to know more about me! In other words, you'd like to interpret my data. Is that correct? If so, feel free! Let's see. Um... Male, teenager... No, that's not the sort of data you want, is it?"''

** At some points, it has been suggested that at least one year has passed since Ash started his [[Pokémon journey]]. However, those events did not affect Ash's age since he still remained 10 years old in the anime episodes set after those events.
*** In the English version of ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash mentions that it has been a year since he visited [[Viridian City]]. However, this remark was not present in the Japanese version.

*** It is implied that at least one year passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', since it was stated in the former episode that the [[Magnet Train]] would take one year to be completed.
*[[Brock's siblings]], {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Parker]] are less than 10 years old.

However, Jessie later had a birthday sometime between ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'' (the episode she catches {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo|Gourgeist}}) and ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'' (the episode she mentions only Pumpkaboo remembered her birthday), making her 26 years old as of XY.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to get focused on romance while James adds that he and Jessie are 5 years older than that.
** In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', {{p|Necrozma}}'s aura causes all the adults to feel lazy and lethargic, with no effect on children and teenagers. This affects Jessie and James, confirming that they are adults.
** More details about Jessie:
*** [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] radio drama has a flashback twenty years before the present time, when Jessie was a young child. This indicates that Jessie is currently over 20 years old.
*** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', Jessie falsely claims to be a 17-year-old idol (in Japanese) or diva (in English) as part of her disguise.

'''Acerola''' (Japanese: '''アセロラ''' ''Acerola'') is the [[Trial Captain]] of [[Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)|Thrifty Megamart's abandoned site]] on [[Ula'ula Island]]. She is also a {{type|Ghost}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and a member of the [[Alola]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
Acerola is a friendly young girl who is the Captain of the [[Island challenge|trial]] of the [[Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)|Thrifty Megamart's abandoned site]] on [[Ula'ula Island]]. She is an orphan who lives at the [[Aether House]], where she plays with the children and Pokémon that live there. Acerola is the last living member of an Alolan royal family.

Acerola first appears in [[Malie City]]'s library, which her father once owned, where she helps the {{player}} and [[Lillie]] find a book about Alolan [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Afterwards, she directs the player to their next trial on top of [[Mount Hokulani]].

In her trial, Acerola asks the player to investigate the abandoned site, using their {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Poké Finder}} to take photos of the Ghost-type Pokémon making mischief there. At the end, they must defeat a powerful [[Totem Pokémon]], a {{p|Mimikyu}}.

She later appears as a member of the Alola [[Elite Four]], having taken on the position after [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] [[Nanu]] turned it down.

===Pokémon===
Acerola's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

===Main series===
[[File:Acerola anime.png|thumb|250px|Acerola in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Acerola debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]''. She is close friends with [[Ula'ula Island]] residents [[Piko]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}, who refer to her as "Big Sis". She read them a story regarding a mischievous spirit known as the Greedy Rapooh and later went for a walk with them. During the walk, they came across {{TRT}}, who had accidentally released Greedy Rapooh, which was actually a {{p|Gengar}}, from the shrine that it had been sealed in.

Acerola found herself kidnapped by Greedy Rapooh, who began to steal various items despite her requests for it to stop. Her {{Shiny}} {{p|Mimikyu}}, [[nickname]]d Mimikins, eventually rescued her from Greedy Rapooh, which resulted in them falling to the ground. Greedy Rapooh started begging Acerola to take it with her, offering her all the items in its possession, but she refused, believing her work at the library to be more important and valuable. Throwing a tantrum, Gengar tried to forcibly take Acerola with it, but she was saved by {{TRT}}, who had followed Gengar in an attempt to get back the [[Darkinium Z]] it had stolen from them. Having seen Team Rocket saving Acerola, [[Nanu]] chose to give them a [[Z-Power Ring]], allowing them to defeat Gengar. Later, a sympathetic Acerola told Gengar that it could come to visit her at the library from time to time, filling it with happiness. After Nanu had let Team Rocket keep the Z-Power Ring, Mimikins gave Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]] as a gift.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Acerola met {{Ash}}, who had traveled to [[Ula'ula Island]] so he could challenge Nanu to a grand trial. After realizing that Ash was tricked into taking care of Nanu's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}} while he left to be lazy somewhere else, Acerola took Ash to her library, where she read a story about "the {{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}". When Nanu arrived to find his missing {{wp|kendama}}, which Acerola had stolen to lure him to her, he was forced by Acerola to accept Ash's challenge to battle him. She later refereed the battle between Ash and his {{AP|Lycanroc}} against Nanu and his {{p|Krookodile}}, which Ash lost. When Nanu told Ash he wasn't ready to face him and should just return to [[Melemele Island]], Ash refused and decided to stay on Ula'ula and train for a rematch. Later, at Ash's request, Acerola suggested they go and see {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} so it could help Ash.

In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Acerola took Ash through [[Haina Desert]] to meet with Tapu Bulu at the [[Ruins of Abundance]]. There, she watched Ash train with Tapu Bulu to get stronger for his rematch with Nanu. In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Acerola accompanied Ash to the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} so that Ash could participate in his next trial. After arriving, Acerola refereed the battle between Ash and Pikachu against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]]. In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Acerola refereed the grand trial between Ash and Nanu. After Ash won, she bade him farewell as he headed back to [[Melemele Island]].

Acerola appeared in a flashback in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]''.

In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Acerola watched the sunrise alongside Nanu, with Tapu Bulu watching from nearby.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Acerola joined the rest of Alola in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

In ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'', Acerola visited the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], reuniting with Ash and meeting {{ashcl}} for the first time. She helped them build a haunted house for {{an|Lana}}'s twin sisters [[Harper and Sarah]]. Mimikins's presence ended up attracting several {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, including a {{p|Mismagius}} who put everyone to sleep and transported them into a world of nightmarish illusions.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Acerola greeted Ash and his classmates when they arrived at the [[Manalo Stadium]]. She was revealed to be among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]]. Acerola competed with her {{p|Shuppet}} and was ultimately among the 16 Trainers remaining when the round ended. The match-ups for the next round revealed that she would be battling {{an|Kiawe}}.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Acerola went up against Kiawe, using Greedy Rapooh against [[Kiawe's Marowak]]. She ended up losing when Marowak retrieved its bone from Greedy Rapooh and knocked it out. In ''[[SM135|The Final Four!]]'' and ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', she watched the battle between Kiawe and {{an|Gladion}} in the stands; and in ''[[SM137|The Wisdom Not to Run!]]'', she watched the battle between Ash and [[Guzma]].

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Acerola attended the award ceremony for the Manalo Conference winner, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through an [[Ultra Wormhole]].

Acerola reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]''.

====Character====
Acerola is used to the supernatural and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon overall, largely because of {{p|Mimikyu|Mimikins}}' presence. This was demonstrated by her composure during {{p|Mismagius}}'s illusions in ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'', which she noted was normal for her.

Acerola often visits [[Nanu]], who is notoriously lazy, to ensure he is keeping up with his [[island kahuna]] duties. She was the one who convinced Nanu to accept Ash's challenges in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'' and their later [[rematch]] in ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]''.

In ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'', Mimikins accompanied Acerola to [[Melemele Island]] and visited the [[Pokémon School]]. Ash and {{ashcl}} were turning it into a haunted house for [[Harper and Sarah]], but Mimikins' presence attracted several other {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

Acerola first met Gengar when it broke free from a shrine that {{TRT}} accidentally unsealed it from. When Acerola tried to scold Gengar and stop it from causing trouble, it took a liking to her and kidnapped her. It stole a large variety of objects, including Team Rocket's [[Darkinium Z]], in an effort to have Acerola stay with it, but to no avail.

Team Rocket later saved Acerola with the help of [[Nanu]], their new [[Z-Power Ring]], and {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}. Gengar initially felt rejected by Acerola, but after being told that it can visit her in the library she works in at any time, it happily accepted the offer.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Gengar joined the rest of Alola in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Acerola was revealed to have caught Gengar, using it in her battle against {{an|Kiawe}} during the [[Manalo Conference]]. However, it was eventually defeated by [[Kiawe's Marowak]].

===GOTCHA!===
Acerola briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Acerola Adventures.png|thumb|180px|Acerola in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Acerola was first mentioned in ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'' by [[Mallow]], who considered asking Acerola and [[Ilima]] to join her, [[Kiawe]], and [[Lana]] in raiding [[Team Skull]]'s [[Po Town|base]]. Acerola properly debuted in ''[[PASM15|Shipwreck and "Oh, What Sharp Teeth You Have, Bruxish!"]]'', where she found an unconscious {{adv|Sun}} and [[Lillie]] on a beach and took them to the [[Aether House]] to recuperate.

In ''[[PASM16|A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart]]'', Acerola introduced herself to Sun and Lillie and took them to the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site|abandoned Thrifty Megamart}}. She gave Sun a [[Island challenge|trial]] and tasked him with photographing the [[Totem Pokémon]] that lived inside the building. While Sun did the trial, Acerola left to go meet with Mallow's group. Later, she received a photo of the Totem {{p|Mimikyu}} from Sun, who had successfully completed the trial.

In ''[[PASM17|A Raid and Po Town]]'', Acerola, Kiawe, Mallow, Lana, Ilima, and [[Hau]] arrived at Po Town. Their presence alerted Team Skull's boss, [[Guzma]], who demanded to know why his base was being invaded. When the Captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first and then summoned a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}. He had them attack the Captains and Hau. Despite their best efforts, Acerola and the others were completely outmatched by the rampaging [[Ultra Beast]]s.

In ''[[PASM18|Confusion and Monsters from Another World]]'', Sun arrived at Po Town, only to get caught up in the commotion. Annoyed the Captains were still fighting, Guzma revealed a {{p|Cosmog}} and had it open more wormholes. [[Gladion]] appeared, demanding to know where Guzma got the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. Revealing his true aim is to destroy Ultra Beasts, Gladion battled the beasts Guzma summoned with his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}. To everyone's shock, Gladion also revealed the [[Aether Foundation]]'s president, [[Lusamine]], was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on all of Ula'ula Island. Acerola and the other Captains headed off to various locations to evacuate any innocent civilians caught in the beasts' attacks.

In ''[[PASM22|The Truth and Island Kahuna Hapu]]'', Acerola, [[Sophocles]], [[Molayne]], [[Professor Kukui]], and Gladion fought off a Celesteela and Guzzlord at {{rt|10|Alola}} to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]]. Gladion easily defeated Celesteela and later defeated Guzzlord to prevent it from hurting [[Lillie]].

In ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', the Trial Captains and [[island kahuna]]s were revealed to have spent six months on [[Exeggutor Island]] training to prepare for another clash with the Ultra Beasts. After their training was finished, Acerola and the other Captains went to [[Hokulani Observatory]] under Molayne's orders. Once they gathered together, Acerola and the others traveled to [[Mount Lanakila]], where a wormhole had opened up earlier. Shortly after they arrived, their ship was attacked by a group of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s and their Ultra Beasts. During the battle, Acerola was assisted by {{p|Tapu Lele}}, who transported her to [[Akala Island]] in order to battle with some {{p|Kartana}} at [[Hano Grand Resort]].

==Trivia==
* Despite Acerola referring to [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Nanu]] as "uncle", they are not related, as stated on page 174 of the [[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Strategy Guide]]. "Uncle" and "Aunty" are often used as a label of endearment and closeness of a person of non-familial ties in Hawaii.
* Acerola is the only [[Trial Captain]] who is not battled under the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Captain"; the only one who does not participate in [[Mina]]'s trial; and the only character to be both a Trial Captain and a member of the [[Elite Four]].
* Acerola is 4'9" (145 cm) tall.
* According to official artbooks, like [[Phoebe]], Acerola can communicate with {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* In promotional material for the [[Manalo Conference]], Acerola was given the title of (Japanese: 霊界のアイドル ''Idol of the spirit world'').

'''Coral''' (Japanese: '''サンゴ''' ''Sango'') is one of the admins of the [[Explorers]], and a major antagonist in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==History==
[[File:Coral.png|250px|left|thumb|Coral in the anime]]
Coral first appeared as a hologram in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', silhouetted with two other Admins, [[Sidian]] and [[Chalce]].

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It!]]'', she appeared again as a hologram, this time not silhouetted and along with some of her fellow admins, talked to [[Spinel]] after his failure in having [[Liko]]'s pendant taken away from him.

She made her physical debut in [[HZ024]], where [[Hamber]] requested that Coral and Sidian accompany him to the [[old castle]] in the [[Galar]] region. They planned to meet with [[Amethio]], [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] and assist with pursuing a {{an|Terapagos|mysterious Pokémon}} that emerged from Liko's pendant. Shortly [[HZ025|after arriving]], Coral ignored Hamber's orders to stay behind and attacked [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], only to be stopped by [[Captain Pikachu]]. Once Cap took out Sidian's {{p|Garganacl}}, Coral snapped and ordered her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, giving [[Friede]] the opportunity to take Liko and Roy to safety. After the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] fled the area, Coral was scolded by Sidian for her reckless behavior.

In [[HZ027]], Coral appeared with Chalce and Sidian waiting to meet to discuss the Explorers' next goals. While she waited, Coral seemed very impatient and this angered Sidian, who blamed her for the failed mission in Galar. During the meeting, Coral was teasing Amethio about what happened in the previous mission and together with the other members of the Explorers they decided that they would follow in Black {{p|Rayquaza}}'s footsteps.

She will appear again in [[HZ043]].

Coral appears to have a mostly cheery and playful personality, she also has a teasing side as well since she often likes to disrespectfully poke fun at and ridicule other people easily, such as her fellow admins Spinel and Sidian. Coral is along with Sidian, known as "the troublemakers", being less disciplined and more aggressive than their fellow admins. Coral in particular appears to have a very volatile mood that can become extremely violent in an instant, which was seen during the siege on Diana's castle, where she commanded her Glalie into using Self-Destruct under a fit of rage, against Sidian's own protests that it was reckless. Coral is also quite easily distracted, as seen in [[HZ043]] during her battle with Roy and Fuecoco as she began focusing on her Rotom Phone due to her Glalie's superiority over Fuecoco making her bored with the battle.

Coral is also quite childish and vain, occasionally referring to herself in the third-person and openly expressing how cute she is. She's also quite the loudmouth, openly talking about the Explorers's plans in front of others, even their enemies, as she talked about the organization's intention to summon the Black Rayquaza in front of Liko and Roy. She also prioritizes dealing with her grudges more than the organization's plans as she refused to leave the battle with Liko and Roy at first, being dragged away by force by Sidian and his Aerodactyl.

[[Captain Pikachu]] soon arrived to rescue them, facing off against Glalie and Garganacl, Glalie tried to hit Pikachu with Blizzard but missed, afterwards Pikachu sent Garganacl flying with its attack. Coral soon got frustrated by Pikachu's defiance and recklessly commanded Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. Captain Pikachu was able to escape the damage thanks to Friede and Charizard while Glalie unfortunately took both itself and Garganacl out with its own attack.

In addition to using it in battle, Coral uses Glalie as her transportation method.

Glalie's known moves are {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Crunch}}, and {{m|Ice Spinner}}.}}

'''Gladion''' (Japanese: '''グラジオ''' ''Glazio'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He works for [[Team Skull]] as an enforcer, and serves as a [[rival]] character to the player in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Skull''' (Japanese: '''スカルだん''' ''Skull Gang'').

==In the core series games==
[[File:Gladion Silvally Postcard 2 Front.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Gladion and his Silvally in artwork by [[Megumi Mizutani]]]]
===Character profile===
Gladion is a young boy who has made his debut in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, who serves as a [[rival]] to the {{player}}. As a part of [[Team Skull]] in the [[Alola]] [[region]], he lends them their strength as an enforcer, often performing small tasks for the group. Other members of the organization don't often consider Gladion to be a true member of Team Skull, and will often antagonize him. Gladion starts off as quite rebellious, and along with his partner, a [[Gladion's Silvally|Type: Null]], wishes to get stronger. Due to this behavior, Gladion comes off as unfriendly, telling others how and when to be serious and often doing things on his own. Despite this, Gladion cares deeply about his friends, family and Pokémon, thriving to get stronger to protect them. Gladion has many skills, including strength in [[Pokémon battle]]s, often participating in [[Battle Royal]]s. His English concept art describes the character as having middle-school arrogance. According to [[Pokémon Masters EX]], Gladion taught himself how to sew.

Over the course of the games, Gladion warms up to doing things as a group and appreciative of the people he has met in Alola, such as [[Hau]] and the {{player}}. In Sun and Moon, Gladion acts as the president of the [[Aether Foundation]] in his [[Lusamine|mother]]'s place as she has gone to [[Kanto]] to be cared for.

Gladion also appears to be quite knowledgeable about Pokémon, including {{p|Cosmog}}, the {{p|Type: Null}} line and the [[Ultra Beast]]s, Pokémon being researched by the [[Aether Foundation]]. He had named the {{p|Silvally}} species.

Gladion's known relatives include his parents, [[Lusamine]] and [[Mohn]], he also has a little sister by the name of [[Lillie]]. Gladion's grandfather, and Lusamine's father, goes unnamed, but he was known as a wealthy man who had loved Pokémon, creating the [[Aether Foundation]]. He had originally lived on [[Aether Paradise]] with his family before leaving with {{p|Type: Null}}. Like his sister, Gladion had been treated poorly by his mother, being told to dress and act the way she had wanted, Gladion compares himself to Null in this instance. Despite having prioritizing Type: Null over Lillie, Gladion appears to have a good relationship with his sister and had worried for her.

===Appearance===
[[File:Gladion SM concept art.png|thumb|250px|right|Gladion's concept art from {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Gladion is a young teenage boy. Like his family, he has blonde hair and green eyes. His hair is mainly short, but he has long bangs that cascade over his right eye and the rigth side of his face. Gladion has sharp angular eyes, he has thick eyebrows that are the same color as his hair. Gladion has four cuts in his hair show his skin, two on each side of his head. He has two metal pierecings on the top side of his left ear.

Gladion wears a black sleeveless sweatshirt that rests. This sweatshirt has a large spiked hoodie, with two gray draw strings. A giant red gash goes through the middle. Underneath, Gladion wears a darker tight-fitting black shirt, the long sleeves reach down to his wrists and also contain multiple cuts. Gladion has a hair of black pants that reach down to his shins, again, multiple cuts and gashes are seen through his pants. These scrapes are likely from his Type: Null,, creating holes in his outfit. Gladion's red shoes have gray soles and black laces. He has a red waise bag with a single flap, a gray button is seen on the front of the flap, containing a 3 oval symbol. This symbol also appears throughout both of Lillie's outfits.

===[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]===
====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb''': ''This young man lends his strength to Team Skull as an enforcer. He places a high value on being strong in Pokémon battles. His partner Pokémon is the mysterious Type: Null.''

Gladion had originally lived on [[Aether Paradise]] together with his mother, [[Lusamine]], and his sister, [[Lillie]]. However, over time, he noticed his mother's obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s and realized that she could harm [[Alola]] if she let Ultra Beasts into the [[region]]. He decided to leave Paradise, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure. Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}, Pokémon [[artificial Pokémon|created]] to be weapons to attack Ultra Beasts, having felt bad for it and hoping to get stronger.

Upon leaving the Aether Foundation, Gladion had two goals: to stop his mother and to free Type: Null from the helmet that was meant to subdue it. He eventually worked as an enforcer for [[Team Skull]] but was never considered an actual member of the [[Villainous team|team]].

====Main story====
Gladion first meets the {{player}} on {{rt|5|Alola}} as a Team Skull member, but he does not seem to be interested in Team Skull's affairs, unlike the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt|Grunts}} near him. In this interaction, he seems to be berating [[Hau]] for not treating Pokémon battles with seriousness. The player encounters him again at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], to which he has a battle in a [[Battle Royal]] against the player, [[Hau]] and the [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]]. The player can meet him again in a motel on {{rt|8|Alola}}, but he will tell them to leave. Gladion won't appear again until he encounters the player with Hau on {{rt|13|Alola}}. At this moment, he informs the player to avoid letting anyone know about a {{p|Cosmog}} if they happen to know of it, as this could threaten the safety of the region. At [[Aether House]] on {{rt|15|Alola}} Lillie gets captured by Team Skull while the player is battling [[Guzma]] in [[Po Town]]. Gladion appears before the player upon their return to the Aether House and battles them to express his frustration. There, he finds out that Lillie had stolen [[Nebby]] from Aether, prompting him to take the player and [[Hau]] to [[Aether Paradise]] to face Lusamine and save Lillie.

On Aether Paradise, Gladion, Hau and the player meet [[Faba]], who has already alerted the organization of their presence, After battle, he takes the two to Paradise' secret labs, going into Secret Lab A while they take Secret Lab B. Gladion reveals that Secret Lab B was where the Type: Null were originally created, and he relates to them, being told to act and heave a certain way. After the player learns more about Cosmog, they make it back upstairs and he battles alongside the player in a multitude of battles against the Aether Foundation, including against another battle with Faba. Gladion and Hau battle a group of [[Team Skull Grunt]]s as the player make their way to Lusamine's mansion. After the player has met up and protected Lillie from Lusamine, Gladion and Hau catch up, and it is revealed that him and Lillie are Lusamine's children. Lusamine has kept Nebby in a cage since Lillie's kidnapping, in hopes to use the Pokémon's power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Gladion and his sister plead to Lusamine to not use Nebby's power. Lusamine ignores their pleas, saying that despite all the love she had given them, they had rejected her and didn't deserve to listen after stealing Type: Null. Lusamine opens Ultra Wormholes around Alola, inclduing in the trophy room they are currently in. This has caused Nebby to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Cosmoem}} (but nobody seems to be aware of this). During this time, Gladion fights against any Ultra Beats that may come from the wormhole. Lusamine and Guzma leave for [[Ultra Space]]. The group resides in Aether Pradise for the night under the protection of Wicke. Gladion provides the player with a [[Master Ball]] and Lillie with the [[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|M}} before taking them to [[Seafolk Village]] on [[Poni Island]].

At Seafolk Village, Gladion and his sister have a conversation about eachother and their mother, apologizing for leaving Lillie alone while Lusamine had treated her horribly. Gladion leaves to train, and trusts the player and Lillie with saving his mother. Gladion isn't encountered again until the player makes their way to the newly finished {{al|Pokémon League}} on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He thanks the player for stopping Lusamine and reveals that not only has he received a [[Z-Ring]], but also managed to release his Type: Null from its restraint, [[Evolution|evolving]] it into {{p|Silvally}}. His Silvally will be holding the [[memory]] of the type that is strong against the player's starter Pokémon's type. After defeat, he also explains that he came to relay a message from his sister, to tell the player that they are the best Pokémon Trainer in the world, and provides them with 3 [[Max Ether]]s.

Gladion appears at the festival in [[Iki Town]] after the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}. Gladion appears with his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} in a photograph, in Sun and Moon's credits sequence.

After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Alola region, Gladion has taken over as acting president of the Aether Foundation while Lusamine is away. He may be spoken to at Aether Paradise's conservation area, where he will give the player a Type: Null of their own, along with all of Silvally's [[memory]] drives. He thanks the player for helping out his family, especially for Lillie who he claims has never seen such a smile on her before. Gladion then explains to them that the cause for Lusamine's actions were likely a result of his father's research on {{p|Nihilego}}.

Gladion is one of the possible challengers who may appear at the Pokémon League as the player [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defends their title as Champion]].

====[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]====
Gladion's role is mostly similar as in Sun and Moon, although with several changes. As Lusamine is not obsessed with Ultra Beasts in this continuity, he instead left Aether Paradise with Type: Null due to [[Mohn]]'s disappearance, seeking to become stronger to protect Lillie and Lusamine. After the player becomes Champion, Gladion leaves the Alola region to train at [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Before leaving, he leaves a Type: Null and a set of memory drives in the possession of [[Wicke]], who gives them to the player at [[Ancient Poni Path]] during the post-game.

A month after {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{p|Necrozma}}'s defeat, Gladion returns to Alola and can be faced in a Pokémon League Title Defense battle, where he will wield the fully evolved form of a Kanto [[starter Pokémon]], whose type matches the player's starter Pokémon's type. After Gladion has been defeated in a Title Defense battle, the player can visit Aether Paradise to see Gladion witnessing a meeting between Lusamine and Mohn, with Lusamine letting her amnesiac husband continue his life of running [[Poké Pelago]]. Gladion asks Lusamine if she's sure about wanting to leave him in his current state, but Lusamine is simply satisfied to see Mohn being happy with his life.

===Pokémon===
All of Gladion's Pokémon are kept in [[Poké Ball]]s.

Gladion has a {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} that evolves into a {{p|Silvally}}, having stolen it from his mother at Aether Paradise. Silvally's [[type]] and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Silvally|form]] will change to the type that is stronger against the player's [[starter Pokémon|first partner Pokémon]].

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Gladion will gain an additional Pokémon when the player is [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defending their title]] as Champion after exploring [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Here he will have either {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} or {{p|Blastoise}}, whichever is the same type as the player's starter Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Gladion is a recurring character and {{Ash}}'s [[rival]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. He first made a cameo appearance in a [[Photography|photo]] along with his mother {{an|Lusamine}} and sister {{an|Lillie}}. His first proper appearance was in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''.

===Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer===

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Gladion appeared in a flashback in ''[[PE02|The Eclipse]]'', in which he, [[Lillie]], {{ga|Selene}}, [[Hau]], and [[Guzma]] witnessed [[Lusamine]] use [[Nebby]]'s power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]] in [[Aether Paradise]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Gladion Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Gladion in Pokémon Adventures]]Gladion debuted in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]''. He first appeared as a participant at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. He was absent when the tournament roster was being determined, but returned by the time the tournament started. He explained he was away checking an [[Ultra Wormhole]] his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} had sensed.

In ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', Gladion faced against [[Hau]]. When Hau mentioned he joined the tournament because he thought it'd be fun, Gladion called him weak and won the battle. In ''[[PASM06|The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer]]'', Gladion's next opponent was Moon, who wanted to know about the Ultra Wormhole. Gladion agreed to tell her about it, but only if she managed to defeat him. Despite Moon's skill, Gladion eventually won the battle through luck.

In ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'', Gladion and {{adv|Sun}} faced each other in the finals. During the battle, Sun's attitude annoyed Gladion, who questioned the boy's motivation for joining the tournament. Gladion's words angered Sun, who accidentally activated a powerful {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} that defeated Type: Null before passing out from exhaustion. Though Gladion still had an active Pokémon, Sun was declared the winner. Afterward, Gladon left to find a place to train so he may prepare to face the [[Ultra Beast]]s, mentioning that he lost his chance to meet the [[guardian deities|tapu]].

In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Gladion traveled to the [[Ruins of Conflict]] to meet {{p|Tapu Koko}}. There, he met [[Guzma]], who praised Gladion's performance in the Iki Town tournament and offered him a job as an Enforcer for [[Team Skull]]. Gladion immediately accepted, but asked to know about the person Guzma mentioned when he left during the tournament. Guzma feigned ignorance about his earlier statement and had Gladion follow him to [[Po Town|Team Skull's hideout]].

In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', Sun and Moon found an injured [[Kiawe]], who was attacked by Gladion in order to learn where the [[Ruins of Life]] were located. After healing Kiawe, the three traveled to the ruins, where they found Gladion trying to take {{p|Tapu Lele}}, who was healing from injuries it sustained from an earlier clash with a {{p|Xurkitree}}. Realizing Gladion wanted Tapu Lele to help fight off the Ultra Beasts, Moon suggested they work together. Sun refused to team up with someone who works for villains and decided to defeat him with his newly-mastered Z-Move. Due to not having a Z-Ring, Sun attempted to borrow Kiawe's, but it was destroyed by Type: Null before he could take it. Although Gladion claimed Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appeared, claiming that Gladion wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring if he believed that. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who has her Pokémon distract Type: Null before delivering Sun his own Z-Ring.

In ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]'', Sun and Dollar fired a perfected Inferno Overdrive at Type: Null, causing its mask to crack. After switching for {{p|Porygon}}, Sun tried the Z-Move again, but failed, leading to Dollar's defeat. Gladion gave up on Tapu Lele, declaring it too weak to help him with the Ultra Beasts. As he left, Gladion revealed that something must be trying to break into their world through the wormholes.

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Gladion arrived at [[Po Town]]. There, he was attacked by the Team Skull Admin, [[Plumeria]], who wanted to see if Gladion was skilled enough to be an Enforcer. Though Gladion proved himself, his negative attitude angered Plumeria to the point where she refused to accept him as a true member of Team Skull. When Plumeria told Gladion to follow her, Gladion complied, but was momentarily distracted when a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} jumped past him.

In ''[[PASM19|Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull]]'', Gladion appeared at Po Town to battle the Ultra Beasts that Guzma summoned with the {{p|Cosmog}} he received from the [[Aether Foundation]]. Gladion revealed Guzma was being used by the Aether Foundation president, [[Lusamine]], so she could create a paradise for herself and the Ultra Beasts she covets. Guzma rejected Gladion's accusation, but was captured by a {{p|Nihilego}} and dragged into a wormhole. The other Ultra Beasts escaped from Po Town's barriers, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. When the Captains asked Gladion how they could help, Gladion refused to help and said they wouldn't be of any use before riding off with Type: Null.

In ''[[PASM22|The Truth and Island Kahuna Hapu]]'', Gladion, [[Professor Kukui]], [[Molayne]], [[Sophocles]], and [[Acerola]] fought off a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} at {{rt|10|Alola}} to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], which was being used as a shelter for those caught up in the Ultra Beasts' rampage. While Type: Null easily defeated Celesteela, Gladion was momentarily distracted when [[Lillie]] appeared and called out to him. Taking the opportunity, Guzzlord leapt in to attack Lillie, only to be easily swatted away by Type: Null, who evolved into a {{p|Silvally}} while doing so. Lillie revealed that three months ago, she stole [[Nebby]] and ran away from [[Aether Paradise]] after Lusamine tried to use Nebby's power for her own goals. When Lillie revealed she also stole a [[Sun Flute]] from Lusamine, Gladion decided that they should head towards the [[Poni Altar]].

In ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]'', Gladion and Lillie traveled through [[Poni Island]]. Gladion revealed he planned on getting the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} to help him destroy the Ultra Beasts. As they traveled, a {{p|Xurkitree}} appeared and attacked them. Gladion and Silvally fought Xurkitree, but Nebby flew out of his hands and met with another {{p|Cosmoem}}. After Xurkitree was defeated, Lillie and Gladion met with Sun and [[Hapu]]. They learned that the Sun and [[Moon Flute]]s were a pair meant to played at the Poni Altar. The guardian deities of Alola appeared and took Sun and both flutes to the Poni Altar while Lillie, Gladion, and Hapu chased after them.

In ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', Gladion and Lillie helped [[Anabel]] corner and capture [[Faba]]. At the Altar, Gladion and the others found that Sun and Moon managed to evolve Nebby and the other Cosmoem into Lunala and Solgaleo, respectively. Anabel received a call from {{adv|Looker}}, who told her that a large number of Ultra Beasts made their way to Poni Island. While Moon, Gladion, Anabel, and Hapu fought off the beasts, Solgaleo was possessed by a {{p|Necrozma}} that appeared from a wormhole. Necrozma grabbed Sun and dragged him into the wormhole, forcing Moon and Lunala to chase after them.

Six months later, in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', Lusamine disappeared while Faba had managed to take control of the Aether Foundation, running it like a dictatorship. At the [[Aether House]], [[Wicke]] told Gladion and Lillie that Lusamine was found on Poni Island playing with a group of Ultra Beasts. Gladion suggested going to get Lusamine, but was told to stay behind as he hadn't fully recovered from the injuries he sustained from being exposed to the energy from Silvally's evolution. Wicke decided the best option was for her to return to Aether Paradise and gather information before making their next move.

In ''[[PASM31|Ray of Light!! Through the Crack in the Sky!]]'', Lillie told Gladion that their father, [[Mohn]], was still alive in Alola somewhere. Hoping that telling Lusamine the information would convince her to return to her old self, Lillie decided to go and meet with their mother. Before Lillie left, Gladion suggested she do so dressed in the clothes she picked for herself, not the ones Lusamine picked for her.

Later, Gladion traveled to Aether Paradise, where he found Moon locked in a cell after Faba captured her. After freeing her, Gladion and Moon confronted Faba, telling him that his plans were over. Faba retaliated by tricking [[Ryuki]] into battling Gladion and Moon, buying him enough time to try and escape. Gladion allowed Moon to use Silvally in place of her actual Pokémon, which were taken by Faba and hidden away. While Gladion kept Ryuki busy, Moon went ahead to retrieve her Pokémon and make medicine for Gladion's injuries. After taking down Ryuki's first Pokémon, Gladion called off the battle, revealing Faba was using it as a distraction so he could flee. Once he learned others were fighting the Ultra Beasts elsewhere in Alola, Ryuki ran off to join them. When Silvally returned, Moon was absent, having gone elsewhere with Lunala. Gladion then left to stop Faba from escaping, only to find the man cornered by Sun's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], who aimed to make Faba pay for his crimes. Faba's intense fear attracted several Nihilego that emerged from a nearby wormhole. Gladion and Cent were forced to watch as Faba was dragged into the wormhole, his fear turning into happiness as he was affected by the Nihilego's neurotoxins.

Months later, Gladion teamed up with [[Dulse]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] to traverse through Ultra Space and rescue Faba. Ryuki chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.

==Trivia==
* Gladion shares some similarities with {{ga|Silver}}: both are [[rival]]s who stole their first Pokémon, are children of main antagonists and are initially cold to those around them until they go through character development and become warmer to others.
* Only in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if the [[player character]] picks Litten as their [[Starter Pokémon]], Gladion's Lucario will be level 55 during the battle at Mount Lanakila, while it will be level 53 if either Rowlet or Popplio was chosen.

'''Bea''' (Japanese: '''サイトウ''' ''Saitō'') is a {{wp|martial arts|martial artist}} who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Stow-on-Side]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Fighting}} to Trainers who defeat her. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]], [[Allister]] takes her place as Stow-on-Side's Gym Leader instead.

==In the core series games==
Bea is the fourth [[Gym Leader]] [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}}. Like most of the other Gym Leaders, she's initially introduced during the Gym Challenge opening ceremony at the [[Motostoke Stadium]]. She can later be encountered and battled at her Gym. She also serves as the player's second opponent in the Champion Cup Finals.

Bea is the known as the Galar karate prodigy, having inherited the centuries-old traditions and techniques from her parents.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211129044239/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/fighting-gym-leader-bea/ Sword and Shield official website]</ref> She is also an expert on {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. From a young age, Bea rigorously trained with her Pokémon under the watchful and strict eye of her parents. As a result, she developed a stoic personality that perseveres even during dire situations in [[Pokémon battle]]s. She tries her best to go all out, even when defeat seems imminent. Many believe she has lost the ability to experience emotions, but truthfully, she doesn't want to show any weakness. In battle, though, Bea will sometimes reveal her true feelings to the partner Pokémon she knows and trusts. She also has a secret love of various sweets. However, she has a hard time enjoying them due to the attention from her fans.

After Bea's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the {{badge|Fighting}}, {{TM|42|Revenge}}, and the [[List of clothing (Sword and Shield)|Fighting Uniform]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Bea's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]].
;Normal League Card
:"Given special attention from her parents, Bea trained hard with her partner Pokémon since a very young age. This has honed her judgment skills, and she is able to remain calm and collected even when facing dire situations in {{pkmn|battle}}. This leads many to think she lacks emotion, but the truth seems to be that she doesn't want to show weakness. She is sometimes known to show her true feelings to her partner Pokémon during battles. She is secretly a huge fan of various sweets, and this has recently been found out by her fans. The additional attention has made enjoying sweets a little difficult."
;Rare League Card
:"In order to become strong, one must face opponents who are stronger than oneself. Even if defeat seems inevitable, Bea will still go all out and try to at least draw. It's possible that the strict (one might even say too strict) training from her stern parents has left a burden on young Bea, taking away her smile. So, who has seen Bea smile? Her family? Her Pokémon? Or maybe someone else entirely..."

===Pokémon===
Bea keeps her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

===Main series===
[[File:Bea anime.png|thumb|250px|Bea in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Bea made her main series debut in ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]''. She first battled the [[Koichi|Karate Master]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] and won. Soon after, she was challenged to a [[World Coronation Series]] battle by {{Ash}} and had a two-on-two battle with him. She used her {{p|Hawlucha}} and {{p|Grapploct}} to battle {{AP|Farfetch'd}} and {{AP|Riolu}} and emerged victorious without losing a single Pokémon, causing her rank to go up.

Bea reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN036|Making Battles in the Sand!]]''.

Bea reappeared in ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]'', where she was {{pkmn|training}} at the [[Cianwood Gym]] with [[Chuck]] when she received a challenge to a [[rematch]] from Ash. Bea accepted, using her {{p|Hitmontop}} and Grapploct to battle {{AP|Pikachu}} and Riolu. The battle ended with a draw.

A silhouette of Bea along with her Grapploct was revealed at the end of ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', revealing that she had advanced to the Ultra Class of the World Coronation Series.

She made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'' while watching Ash’s World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]]. During this appearance, she was revealed to possess a [[Dynamax Band]].

In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Ash was informed that Bea would be his next Ultra Class opponent.

Bea reappeared in ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]''. She was shown training with her Pokémon in preparation of her third battle with Ash. After introducing each other to their Pokémon, Ash and Bea enjoyed some sweets with {{an|Korrina}} and [[Goh]]. The next day, the two began their battle, with {{an|Leon}} arriving to spectate and provide commentary. Her battle continued in the [[JN086|next episode]], where she was defeated by Ash's [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{AP|Lucario}} despite [[Gigantamax]]ing her {{p|Machamp}}, causing her rank to go down. Later that evening, Bea congratulated Ash on his victory, finally referring to him by his actual name.

Bea reappeared in ''[[JN092|The Winding Path to Greatness!]]'', where she was seen leaving Stow-on-Side Stadium with Machamp as Ash, Goh, and [[Allister]] were arriving to try Gigantamaxing {{AP|Gengar}}. The next day, she returned to the stadium in time to witness Ash successfully Gigantamax Gengar after it had eaten {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}. Impressed by the sight, Bea remarked to Allister that it was rare for him to be helping others.

In ''[[JN130|Toying With Your Motions!]]'', Bea watched Ash's match against Leon alongside Korrina and [[Gurkinn]].

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Bea was shown having a training battle against [[Hop]], using Machamp to battle his {{p|Wooloo}} while Leon observed the match.

====Character====
Bea has a strong personality, and she hates losing. Through the strict training she endured from a very young age, Bea has developed discipline and a strong work ethic in both karate and Pokémon battles. She is also willing to push herself to the extreme in the name of self-betterment and improvement and expects the same of her Pokémon, but isn't above admitting she went too far if necessary. She has a soft spot for sweets and, though concealing her emotions during matches, feels strongly about many things and is known to show a more open side to her partner Pokémon.

Grapploct then was Bea's second Pokémon in her [[World Coronation Series]] battle against {{Ash}}, where it went up against his {{AP|Riolu}}. Despite Riolu putting up a good fight, Grapploct won with relative ease.

In ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]'', Grapploct battled [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}} before Ash arrived to have a [[rematch]] against Bea. It was the second Pokémon Bea used after {{p|Hitmontop}} lost to {{AP|Pikachu}}. Grapploct was able to defeat Pikachu before battling Riolu, with the match coming to a draw.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'', Grapploct was the first Pokémon Bea used in her second rematch with Ash. It first went up against Pikachu, who was soon switched out for {{AP|Lucario}} after both sides inflicted damage on each other. After a while, Grapploct was recalled and replaced with {{p|Hawlucha}}. In ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Grapploct was sent out to battle Pikachu, managing to defeat him before being defeated by Lucario.

Grapploct's known moves are {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Liquidation}}, and {{m|Octolock}}.}}

===GOTCHA!===
Bea briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Bea Adventures.png|thumb|130px|Bea in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Bea debuted in ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]''. Unlike the games, she and [[Allister]] alternate on who runs the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]] as its Gym Leader. She was first heard talking to [[Melony]] over the phone about [[Bede]]'s forced withdrawal from the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]].

In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', it was revealed that Bea had battled [[Marnie]] and lost to her, despite the type advantage her Pokémon had against Marnie's {{p|Morpeko}}.

In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out if [[Rose]] intended on bringing harm to Galar. While [[Oleana]] kept the Gym Leaders busy, {{Henry}}, {{Casey}}, Bede, [[Hop]], and Marnie went up to meet Rose, only to discover he was elsewhere. Rose appeared on a video screen and announced his plan to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. Bea traveled to the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]] with the others, but decided to head back to Stow-on-Side with Allister to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon.

In [[PASS29]], [[Macro Cosmos]] employees were dispatched to deal with the Dynamax Pokémon, allowing Bea's group to provide backup for the others against {{p|Eternatus}}. By the time they arrived, Bea's group found Eternatus had fled, leaving those who battled it unconscious and covered in poison. The injured were taken to a hospital to recover.

Mochi Mayhem

2024-01-11T16:44:19Z

Inkster:

[[File:Mochi Mayhem Title Card.png|thumb|450px|The opening title card of Mochi Mayhem]]
'''Mochi Mayhem''' (Japanese: '''キビキビパニック''' ''Kibi-Kibi Panic''), the epilogue of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], was announced on December 20th,<ref>https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1737473659206271074?t=jISQi-Rd2YGn1dOaFFqkJw&s=08</ref> released on January 11, 2024 at 2 p.m. UTC. It is only accessible after the player has completed the plot of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] by catching {{p|Terapagos}}, though the [[Mystery Gift]] may be claimed at any time.

It begins when the player interacts with the mochi on the desk of [[Mossui Town#Peachy's|Peachy's]] at [[Mossui Town]] in [[Kitakami]], provided that the player has the [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] in their [[Bag]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Include the entire plot, featuring screenshots.}}
{{spoilers}}
After interacting with a decoration at [[Mossui Town#Peachy's|Peachy's]], the player will receive a call on their Rotom Phone from [[Arven]], asking if he can visit the player at their house. After arriving back at the player's home in [[Cabo Poco]], the player finds Arven waiting outside their house, alongside [[Penny]] and [[Nemona]], who overheard Arven's phone call and decided to tag along.

The player's friends are invited inside, and they briefly look around the player's room. The player's mother arrives upstairs, delivering a letter from [[Kieran]]. The letter explains that he decided to take a brief leave from [[Blueberry Academy]] alongside his sister, [[Carmine]], to return to their home in [[Mossui Town]]. He invites the player to visit him in [[Kitakami]], also offering to provide tickets for the player's friends.

The player's friends are eager to visit Kitakami, especially Nemona, excited to have the chance to battle the Champion of a "super elite battle academy". They all agree to meet outside [[Mesagoza]]'s southern gate when they are ready to leave for Kitakami.

At some point when the six of them have arrived at Kitakami, {{P|Pecharunt}} has awoken and fed [[Toxic Mochi]] to Carmine. After defeating Nemona, the player is given the chance to battle and catch Pecharunt.

At a different point, the player faces [[Yukito and Hideko]].

'''Kieran''' (Japanese: '''スグリ''' ''Suguri'') is a [[rival]] character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He is originally from [[Kitakami]] and attends [[Blueberry Academy]] as a first-year student with his older sister, [[Carmine]]. He has a quiet, gentle nature, and often hides behind his big sister. He seems to be curious about the {{player}}, though, when they arrive from the [[Paldea]] [[region]].<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_characters/</ref> He is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''BB League Champion''' (Japanese: '''ブルベリーグチャンピオン''' ''Blueberry League Champion'').

He is nicknamed '''Kiki''' (Japanese: '''スグ''' ''Sugu'') by his sister.

==In the core series games==

====The Teal Mask====
Kieran is a student of [[Blueberry Academy]] native to [[Kitakami]]. He and [[Carmine]] are chosen to accompany the incoming students from [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} on a cultural tour of the area under the watch of Carmine's teacher [[Briar]]. Kieran is paired up with the [[player character]], and accompanies them around Kitakami as they search for three signposts that tell the story of how the [[Loyal Three]] laid down their lives to protect the land from the evil {{p|Ogerpon}}. During this time, Kieran admits that he actually admires Ogerpon for her strength and independence.

At the end of the first day in Kitakami, the player, Carmine, and Kieran attend the [[Festival of Masks]]. The player and Carmine have a chance encounter with Ogerpon, who flees and drops her Teal Mask. Carmine decides to keep this incident from Kieran, fearing that the knowledge he missed a chance to meet his idol would break his heart. The next day, the player and Carmine learn from the siblings' [[Yukito and Hideko|grandfather]] that the "Loyal" Three were actually a group of bandits who attacked Ogerpon's Trainer and stole three masks made for her by the siblings' distant ancestor; Ogerpon slew the Lousy Three, but the villagers believed she was attacking them and came to fear her. Unbeknownst to them, Kieran overhears their conversation and concludes that they are excluding him out of contempt. While the player and Carmine search for materials to repair the Teal Mask, Kieran steals the mask, accuses them of treating him like an outcast, and demands the player defeat him in a battle to reclaim the mask.

After the player defeats Kieran, he surrenders the mask as agreed. However, the Lousy Three unexpectedly come back to life and are given food and Ogerpon's stolen masks by the ignorant villagers. While the player, Carmine, and Ogerpon pursue and defeat the Lousy Three, Kieran convinces the villagers that the old legend was mistaken and that Ogerpon was innocent all along. With Ogerpon's reputation rehabilitated, the group returns to Ogerpon's mountain home, where Ogerpon chooses the player to be her Trainer. However, a jealous Kieran demands a final battle with the player for the right to take Ogerpon, irrespective of Ogerpon's wishes. The player defeats Kieran, who watches them catch Ogerpon before fleeing home, locking himself in his room, and refusing to come out or see the player off.

After the end of the tour, Kieran and Carmine are to return early to Blueberry Academy due to an unexpected development in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. Kieran, now consumed by his resentment towards the player and obsession with strength, vows to become even stronger and ominously declares, "Just you wait" to the player.

====The Indigo Disk====
Upon returning to Blueberry Academy, Kieran becomes fixated on Pokémon battling, going so far as to rise in the ranks of the school's unofficial League to become Champion. However, Carmine and the BB League's Elite Four, [[Drayton]], [[Lacey]], [[Crispin]], and [[Amarys]] become concerned when he begins using his new authority to bully other students out of the club. Despite Lacey's insistence to keep this as a 'League matter' and have Drayton deal with Kieran himself, Carmine secretly lobbies to have the player brought over to the school under the auspices of wanting to show off her home turf to get them to snap some sense into her brother. Upon discovering the player's arrival at the school, Kieran, against Lacey and Amarys' objections, has the player entered into the BB League at a high stage so he can prove that he is superior to them. However, despite the amount of training he's done, the player's skill as an official League Champion proves too much for Kieran to overcome and he is defeated, causing most of the club to abandon him.

Now humiliated in front of the school, Kieran scrambles to come up with a way to get back at the player. When Briar informs them and Carmine that she's recently gotten permission from Paldea League chairwoman and Top Champion [[Geeta]] to search [[Area Zero]] for a mysterious Pokémon called {{p|Terapagos}}, Kieran sees this as the perfect opportunity and signs up, reasoning that catching and utilizing a Pokémon even the player doesn't know about will give him the edge needed to defeat them. However, upon reaching the furthest point in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], Terapagos shows more interest in the player than Kieran, forcing him to use a [[Master Ball]] he received during his time as BB League Champion to effectively steal it from them. However, when the player is still able to defeat him, Kieran, under a glory-blinded Briar's instructions, {{Tera}}stallizes Terapagos and demands it battle the player again. This proves ruinous, however, as Terapagos turns on and attacks Kieran, destroying the Master Ball he caught it with and forcing the player to intervene. Terapagos soon proves to be too powerful for the player to battle on their own though, so Carmine and the player convince the guilt-ridden Kieran to help out, ending with it being caught by the player.

The shock of Terapagos attacking him forces Kieran to finally realize the error of his ways, resigning from the BB League's rankings and requesting that he and the player start over as friends. The player presumably agrees, and they return to Blueberry Academy. Following these events, it is mentioned by an NPC in the [[Terarium]]'s [[Central Plaza]] that Kieran has also begun taking time off from school altogether.

====Mochi Mayhem====
Kieran is set to return in the DLC's epilogue in Kitakami to meet the player's other friends, [[Nemona]], [[Arven]] and [[Penny]].

==Trivia==
* Carmine's nickname for Kieran, "Kiki", is also the nickname of [[Kiki|a particular]] {{p|Delcatty}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* When Kieran punches the [[Loyal Three]]'s shrine after his third battle, a purple mist can be briefly seen in his fist, implying the trio's revival may have something to do with Kieran himself. Kieran also has the same purple in his hair during [[The Teal Mask]] as the color of the {{a|Toxic Chain}}, further implying some sort of connection.
* Kieran is the first NPC shown capturing a Pokémon with a Master Ball.
** Kieran's Master Ball is also the first official instance of a Master Ball breaking in the games.

'''Delia Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''ハナコ''' ''Hanako''), also known as '''Mrs. Ketchum''' or '''Ms. Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''ママさん''' ''Mama-san'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is the [[mother]] of {{Ash}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
According to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s novelization, she runs Pallet Town's only restaurant, Pallet House, which she inherited from her mother. When she was younger, she dreamed of becoming both a model and a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but abandoned those dreams to run the restaurant after {{Ash}} was born. ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'' also elaborates that the reason why she raised Ash by herself is that his father married her fast and then left just as fast due to him being a Pokémon Trainer. It is also implied that the reason he and Ash's grandfather didn't return is because they achieved nothing in their goal.

[[JN001|Four years prior to the start of the original series]], Delia agreed to sign her son Ash up for {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Camp. As she had things to do, Ash had to get up by himself, which eventually resulted in the young boy oversleeping and missing the camp.

=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Ash and Delia.png|thumb|left|250px|Delia and Ash]]
Delia debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', telling Ash that he should get to bed for his big day tomorrow. She was then seen in front of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] with a small group of people from Pallet Town, cheering Ash on as he walked out with {{AP|his first Pokémon|Pikachu}}. She was shown to be very sad that her little boy was growing up, but quickly put it aside to tell him everything that she had packed in his [[bag|backpack]] for his journey. When she unintentionally insulted Pikachu, who was already upset at getting Ash for a Trainer, he used his {{m|Thunder Shock}} and shocked the entire group.

In [[EP002|the next episode]], Ash decided to call her while waiting for his Pikachu to be healed by [[Nurse Joy]]. She seemed to be surprised that he was already in {{ci|Viridian}}. She also mentioned his father, saying it took him four days to get there when he began his Pokémon journey. Mentioning that his father would be proud of him, she commented that he was the apple of his eye. When he continued to shoot down her words of encouragement, she became angry and scolded him by telling him that he can do anything he set his mind to.

In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', she, along with Professor Oak and {{Gary}}, visited [[Porta Vista]]. She sat in the stands during the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]], and held the trophy at the end of the episode, telling Professor Oak that she is proud of Ash.

In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', Delia watched a performance of the Pokémon Circus. She watched what appeared to be a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, but was actually Ash in costume. This was only revealed to her when Ash fought {{TRT}}, later stealing their balloon. Later, she invited {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} over to her house for lunch. A [[wild Pokémon|wild]] Mr. Mime that Ash, Brock, and Misty saw at the beginning of the episode tapped on the window, and Delia thought it was Ash. When letting "Ash" in for a snack, the real Ash appeared, revealing to Delia that the Mr. Mime wasn't fake. Ash asked Mr. Mime to help him, and Delia encouraged it, offering it a big dessert. Later, when Team Rocket stole the circus's Pokémon with a tank, she had the wild Mr. Mime help stop Team Rocket. [[Stella]]'s Mr. Mime and the wild one built a solid tower around the tank, causing Team Rocket's missile to rebound and send them blasting off again. At the end of the episode, the wild Mr. Mime, whom Delia had nicknamed [[Mimey]], decided to stay with her.

In ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Ash greeted his mother in the kitchen and told her that Mimey had vacuumed his face to wake him up, to which she responded that Mimey generally cleaned dirty things. She also told him that Mimey only listens to her. Later in the episode, Team Rocket appeared as a news crew at her house, claiming that they wanted to have an interview with Ash, but Delia told them that Ash was at {{Prof|Oak}}'s laboratory.

In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', Delia went to {{an|Seafoam Island}} with Ash and {{ashfr}}.

In ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', she told her son to help out in the garden, but Ash says that he had to do some "serious training" in the mountains. She told him and his friends to get three to four hundred pounds of fertilizer from the [[Xanadu Nursery]].

In ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', she went to [[Hollywood]] with Ash and his friends. They were the only ones to watch the premiere of [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s new movie, {{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}, which was filmed in [[EP069|the previous episode]].

[[EP073|Three episodes later]], she wished Ash good luck as he headed off to the [[Indigo Plateau]] for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

In ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'', Delia was standing outside a restaurant in the Indigo Plateau with Professor Oak, where she met up with Ash and his friends. She acted as a cook in the restaurant, much to the confusion of the cooks. When she had cooked for them, they sat down to eat and talk. Later, she ended up stuck in an elevator with Ash, his friends, Prof. Oak, and [[Ritchie]], before when Ritchie and Pikachu saved them.

In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', she watched Ash's round five battle against Ritchie with Brock, Misty, and Prof. Oak, and wondered why Ash was not there for the start, unaware that he had been kidnapped by Team Rocket. She was very relieved when he eventually showed up.

In ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', Delia was shown worrying about Ash when he would not get out of bed.

In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Delia arrived at her house and found Ash, Misty, Brock, and {{Tracey}} there. She told Ash, Misty, and Tracey that she found Brock on the ground in a field of grass. She let him stay at her house, and he had been doing chores for her while they were away. They discussed this over dinner, and when Ash showed her the [[Winner's Trophy]] he earned for winning the [[Orange League]], she mentioned that she could use it as a dumbbell. Later in the episode, she and Mimey packed things into Ash's [[Bag|backpack]] in preparation of him going to [[Johto]] for the [[Johto League]] the next day.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', Delia watched Ash light the Pokémon League torch. Later, in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', she was seen welcoming Ash home.

In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', she was shown wondering what to cook for dinner, before {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|May|Combusken}}, and {{TP|May|Munchlax}} appeared at the door. Later, May and Delia went to Professor Oak's laboratory and had tea as Ash explained the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} to everyone. After hearing this, Delia said that there are [[Contest Hall]]s in Kanto, which excited May. As Ash said that he would be leaving the next day, Professor Oak asked Delia if she was worried about Ash leaving on another journey, however, she said that she wasn't. When Team Rocket tried to steal Ash's Pokémon again, Delia and Professors Oak and {{Prof|Birch}} ran out of the lab. Delia stopped Professor Birch from helping Ash and his friends from getting their Pokémon back, saying that it was their fight. When Team Rocket blasted off, Delia said that she knew they could do it. Later in the episode, Delia said her goodbyes to Ash as he set off again.

In ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', neither Delia nor Mimey were in Ash's house when he came back from his Battle Frontier journey. He went to Professor Oak's laboratory, where the Professor and Tracey were also missed. Delia was found in the sitting room alongside Mimey, Tracey, {{Gary}}, and the Professor to welcome Ash home. Delia was presented with all seven of her son's Frontier Symbols. Soon, Delia watched Ash and Pikachu's battle against Gary and [[Gary's Electivire|his Electivire]]. After Gary won and left for [[Sinnoh]], Ash announced that he will go to Sinnoh as well. Delia was seen sewing Ash's new clothes for him that night.

Ash eventually received his new {{DL|List of clothing (anime)|Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|clothes}} that Delia made for him in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.

Delia appeared briefly in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''. She was delivering some herbs to {{an|Professor Oak}} when she noticed he was talking to Ash over the videophone. She interrupted their conversation and then started talking to {{an|Dawn}}'s [[mother]], [[Johanna]]. As Ash was staying at Johanna's house for the duration of the [[Twinleaf Festival]], she told her to feel free to scold Ash if needed, much to Ash's embarrassment.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Delia.png|thumb|250px|Delia in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
In ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Delia went on a trip to the [[Unova]] [[region]] with Professor Oak and her son by plane. Delia was separated from her son after Team Rocket tried to capture Pikachu, but they failed when their machine was destroyed by lightning. Ash and Pikachu were pulled into the storm, and they woke up on the ground with Delia and Professor Oak by their side. [[Professor Juniper]] eventually drove up and got them to [[Nuvema Town]].

In [[BW002|the next episode]], Ash departed on his Unova journey, while Delia returned home to Kanto.

In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', Delia welcomed her son home and took his laundry. She said that by the look of Ash's backpack, he certainly did his best. While Ash was at Professor Oak's laboratory, she sewed some new clothes again. Later, during dinner at home with her son, [[Alexa]], and Professor Oak, Ash decided to travel to the [[Kalos]] region. Delia suddenly left, and everyone worried that she was upset. However, she returned soon with a smile and new {{DL|List of clothing (anime)|Pokémon the Series: XY|clothes}} for Ash, wishing him good luck. The next day, after Ash's plane left Delia said at the airport that Ash is always ready for adventures, and that's how boys should be. At the end of the episode, she was shown with a picture of Ash and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|all of his Pokémon}}.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====
In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Delia and Professor Oak spoke to Ash and his friends via a video call and told {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} that they are welcome to stop by.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''=====
[[File:Delia SM anime.png|thumb|250px|Delia in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'']]
In ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', Delia traveled to [[Alola]] along with Ash after Mimey won a trip to the region in the lottery. She and Ash were also asked by Professor Oak to deliver a [[Pokémon Egg]] to [[Samson Oak|his cousin]] at the [[Pokémon School]]. By the end of the episode, she had already returned to [[Pallet Town]] and was seen talking to Ash over a video call.

Delia traveled to Alola again in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', where she reunited with Ash at {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. She met her son's Pokémon and gave them nicknames: '''Rocky''' (Japanese '''イちゃん''' ''I-chan'') for {{AP|Rockruff}}, '''Rowlie''' (Japanese '''モクちゃん''' ''Mok-chan'') for {{AP|Rowlet}}, '''Littie''' (Japanese '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan'') for {{AP|Litten}}, and '''Dexy Wexy''' (Japanese '''ズカンちゃん''' ''Zukan-chan'') for the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}}. Later, she went to the [[Pokémon School]], which was welcoming students' relatives as part of the Visiting Day. She watched Ash's presentation and was seen chatting with [[Sophocles's parents]]. She took a liking for Litten and even used it in battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] from [[Team Skull]]. She left Ash and returned to Kanto by the end of the episode.

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Delia welcomed her son home, along with {{ashcl}}, Professor Kukui, and [[Samson Oak]].

In ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'', Delia returned to Alola again so she could watch Ash perform in the school play.

In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Delia alongside Professor Oak arrived at [[Manalo Stadium]] to watch her son's {{pkmn|battle}} during the [[Manalo Conference]] finals and was happy and proud to witness him win the Malano Conference in [[SM139|the next episode]]. During the attack by the {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} in ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Delia was among the people that were being evacuated until another {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} appeared, blocking the ships.

After the crisis had been resolved, Delia remained at Manalo Stadium to watch Ash and Professor Kukui's {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} from ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' to ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]''. Following Ash's win, she returned to Pallet Town.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', Delia reminded Ash to get out of bed to visit Professor Oak's Laboratory. She later met up with him in front of the lab to accompany him and Professor Oak to [[Vermilion City]]. After Ash was appointed as one of [[Professor Cerise]]'s [[Professors' aides|research fellows]], she left Mimey at [[Cerise Laboratory]] to watch over Ash before returning to Pallet Town.

In ''[[JN030|Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!]]'', Delia visited Ash in Vermilion City and made everyone dinner. Professor Cerise invited her to stay for the night, which she accepted. Later, Delia observed Pikachu's jealousy as Ash was spending his time training with his {{AP|Riolu}}. Despite her attempts to cheer him up and reminding him that he will always have a special place for Ash, Delia was joined by Pikachu for the night, and they slept together. That next day, Delia prepared to leave for Pallet Town and bade everyone farewell. However, after hearing that Pikachu ran away from Ash and came to Pallet Town, Delia scolded the Mouse Pokémon for wandering off without telling his Trainer or anyone else. After that, Delia made dinner for everyone and let Ash and [[Goh]] stay in Pallet Town for the night.

She reappeared in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', inviting Ash and Goh to stay at the Ketchum household for a night before they departed for the [[World Coronation Series|Masters Eight Tournament]].

From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Delia watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, {{an|Leon}} alongside Professor Oak, Tracey, and Ash's Pokémon.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Delia attended a party at the Cerise Laboratory to commemorate Ash and Goh's departure the next day. Following the party, Mimey rejoined Delia and returned to Pallet Town with her.

In ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', Delia met Professor Oak and briefly discussed about Ash's continued travels with him.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Delia welcomed Ash back home and gave him a new pair of shoes before he left on his next journey.

====={{pkmn|movie|Movies}}=====
In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Delia accompanied Professors Oak and [[Professor Ivy|Ivy]] to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] when the freak weather storms caused by the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} began to wreak havoc worldwide. All the while, she worried about her son's well-being. She and Oak eventually made it to [[Shamouti Island]] towards the end of the film, after {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} had calmed the legendary birds and brought the storms to an end. She scolded Ash for risking his life in undergoing his role as "the chosen one", but later admitted that he was her hero.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Delia played a key role. She arrived in [[Greenfield]] upon hearing about what happened to [[Spencer Hale]], as well as the subsequent crisis in Greenfield. Soon after, she was kidnapped by the illusionary {{OBP|Entei|M03}} created by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} and taken to the crystal tower, where she was forced to act as a "mother" to [[Molly Hale]]. Ash and his friends made their way into the former Hale mansion to rescue her. In the process, they had to battle Entei and the Unown, who were feeding upon the emotions of the grieving Molly, in the process.

Delia made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where she was seen receiving a bouquet of [[Gracidea]] sent by Ash and Pikachu from the [[Sinnoh]] region.

====Character====
[[File:Younger Delia, Oak and Hale.png|thumb|250px|A younger Delia with Professor Oak and Spencer Hale]]
Delia Ketchum is a relatively reserved woman. She is usually quiet and cheerful, but when angered, she makes it known. In fact, she once shouted at an illusory {{OBP|Entei|M03}} and said he should be ashamed of himself in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. It was also revealed during the film that she was once a student of {{an|Professor Oak}}, along with [[Spencer Hale]].

Delia lives in [[Pallet Town]] with [[Mimey]], a {{p|Mr. Mime}} that she befriended in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. She is shown to care for Ash deeply, as he is her only child. She does reprimand him sometimes, as in the first episode, when she told him to go to bed so he would be ready for his first day as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Delia has mainly stayed at home, but she traveled with Ash to the [[Unova]] [[region]] in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', and she also once visited him in [[Vermilion City]] in ''[[JN030|Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!]]''. She flew home once Ash left on his quest to collect the [[Unova League]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s.

{{an|Brock}} once commented that she would make a great Pokémon Trainer because of her perseverance. Her husband was mentioned in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as a Trainer still on his {{pkmn|journey}}. However, he has yet to appear onscreen.

Delia appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. On the day {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} was supposed to get his first Pokémon, Delia woke him up, as he had accidentally broken his alarm clock and slept late. When her son asked her why she had not awakened him sooner, she reminded him that he had told her he could wake up himself on such an important day. After {{an|Professor Oak}} gave Ash his first Pokémon, {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}}, Delia showed up at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to give her son new clothes and a backpack for his journey. She remarked Ash had already become friends with Pikachu, after which Pikachu shocked Ash, Delia, and Professor Oak.

She later spoke with Ash via a video conversation, worried and upset that Ash had not called her earlier. She spoke to him again later in the movie, where she was introduced to [[Verity]] and [[Sorrel]]. She appeared once more near the end of the movie, cleaning Ash's room before spotting a rainbow in the sky.

Delia reappeared in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.

[[File:Newspaper Delia.png|thumb|160px|Delia in [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Delia appeared ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]'', where she and {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} discovered {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} under the floorboards of their house, chewing on the wiring to eat the electricity. Later, she gave Ash a tearful farewell as he left on his Pokémon journey.

===Movie adaptations===
Delia appeared in ''{{ma|Emperor of the Crystal Tower: Entei}}''.

She briefly appeared in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}''.

Delia appeared in a flashback in [[ICYR1]].

===Pokémon Newspaper Strip===
Delia is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]]. She is identified as "Ash's Mom" in the list of characters, and her name is not mentioned in the strips. She lives with her son {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|Pokémon Newspaper Strip}}, and often lectures him about his chores on the house, or about controlling his Pokémon.

She was first mentioned in {{strip|11}}, when Ash said that his mom won't mind that he made protective clothing by stitching dozens of pot holders.

She debuted in {{strip|14}}. Delia angrily told Ash to control his Pokémon ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}) before they destroy the house. She also told Ash about several chores he needed to do: that his bike was in the driveway, his room was a mess, and the leaves needed to be raked. Ash said she's right, but asked if being trapped under Snorlax would earn him a little slack. Delia ignored him, and repeatedly asked where are her linens.

In {{strip|23}}, Delia scolded Ash because his Pikachu had electrocuted her ''{{wp|Aspidistra}}'' plant, his Bulbasaur had {{m|Vine Whip|vine-whipped}} her curtains while fighting his Squirtle, and his {{AP|Snorlax}} had eaten ate a frozen turkey. Delia said that Ash should either learn to control his Pokémon or give up being a Pokémon Trainer. Ash's Charmander burned the curtains, while Ash said to himself that a woman can't understand a man's passions.

In {{strip|24}}, Delia said that Ash's Snorlax ate everything from the refrigerator. She also said that she had gone shopping three times this week because of his Pokémon, so she made Ash go shopping instead.

==Trivia==
[[File:Delia lookalike.png|thumb|200px|Delia's lookalike]]
* A woman with a [[Anime character recycling|striking resemblance]] appeared in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]''.
* In [[Pokémon Live!]], it is stated that Delia dated {{an|Giovanni}} and was in his gang, but took a better route in life when she met {{Ash}}'s father, though this might not be the case in the anime.
* In the English dub, Delia and Ash have always shared the same voice actress, even after [[The Pokémon Company International]] changed all of the character's voice actors. Originally, both mother and son were voiced by [[Veronica Taylor]]. Since the voice actor switch, both have been voiced by [[Sarah Natochenny]].

'''Nate''' (Japanese: '''キョウヘイ''' ''Kyouhei'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Rosa}}.

==Terminology==
The name '''Nate''' (Japanese: '''キョウヘイ''' ''Kyouhei'') is used in-game when he appears as a non-player character.

Prior to the release of {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, pre-release media referred to Nate as '''Black2'''.

==In the core series==
===As the protagonist===
Nate is a young boy living in [[Aspertia City]] with his childhood friend [[Hugh]]. At the start of the game, he sets off with Hugh to collect his first Pokémon. They then go their separate ways, and he starts his {{pkmn|journey}} across the [[Unova]] region.

====Rental Pokémon in [[Pokéstar Studios]]====
:''For all rental teams used by the player at Pokéstar Studios, see [[Nate (game)/Pokéstar Studios|here]].''

===As a non-playable character===
If the player chooses {{ga|Rosa}}, Nate will appear in-game as an NPC, first met in [[Nimbasa City]]. He will join the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Emmet]] and [[Ingo]]. Afterwards, he will give the player the [[Vs. Recorder]].

Nate will then appear as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants him to base his team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Nate's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

===Main series===
* {{Ash}}, {{Gary}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Barry}}, [[Trip]], [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], [[Sam]], [[Alternate World Ash]], and [[Alternate World Dawn]] are 10 years old.
** Ash's age was mentioned in [[EP001|the very first episode]] of the anime, as well as [[BW001|the first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', Misty mentions that she is ten years old.
** Ash, Goh, and Chloe's character profiles (in Japanese) mentioned their ages as of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200905123936/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/tv_movie/anime/ アニメ「ポケットモンスター」 - Pokémon.co.tv (archived)]</ref>
** At some points, it has been suggested that at least one year has passed since Ash started his [[Pokémon journey]]. However, those events did not affect Ash's age since he still remained 10 years old in the anime episodes set after those events.
*** In the English version of ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash mentions that it has been a year since he visited [[Viridian City]]. However, this remark was not present in the Japanese version.
*** It is implied that at least one year passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' since the [[Magnet Train]] would take one year to be completed.
* [[Forrest]], the rest of [[Brock's siblings]], {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Parker]] are less than 10 years old.
* [[Max]] is 7 years old.
* [[Paul]] is 11 years old.
* {{an|Brock}} is 15 years old.
** His age is mentioned in [[:File:Brock face OS concept art.png|concept art]].
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are 25 years old as of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. However, Jessie later had a birthday sometime between ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'' (the episode she catches {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo|Gourgeist}}) and ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'' (the episode she mentions only Pumpkaboo remembered her birthday), making her 26 years old as of XY.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to get focused on romance while James adds that he and Jessie are 5 years older than that.
** In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', {{p|Necrozma}}'s aura causes all the adults to feel lazy and lethargic, with no effect on children and teenagers. This affects Jessie and James, confirming that they are adults.
** More details about Jessie:
*** [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] radio drama has a flashback twenty years before the present time, when Jessie was a young child. This indicates that Jessie is currently over 20 years old.
*** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', Jessie falsely claims to be a 17-year-old idol (in Japanese) or diva (in English) as part of her disguise.
* {{an|Professor Oak}} is 50 years old as of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.

'''Pokémon Scarlet''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスタースカーレット}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Scarlet'') and '''Pokémon Violet''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスターバイオレット}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Violet'') are the primary [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation IX]]. The games were released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on November 18, 2022. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day]], February 27, 2022, at 11 P.M. JST via [[Pokémon Presents#2022|Pokémon Presents]].

[[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] was revealed during Pokémon Presents on February 27, 2023. It is a DLC expansion for the games consisting of two parts: [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], having just moved to the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with their [[mother]], now lives in the small settlement of [[Cabo Poco]] and prepares to start their studies at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in the region's biggest city, [[Mesagoza]]. The academy's director, [[Clavell]], gives the player a choice of one of three [[starter Pokémon]] and introduces them to their next-door neighbor and the head of the academy's student council, [[Nemona]]. Despite being a {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Nemona also takes one of the starter Pokémon in her care in order to train a new team alongside the player. While exploring [[Poco Path]], the player encounters a weak {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which saves them from a pack of angry {{p|Houndour}}. An academy student named [[Arven]] identifies the Pokémon and hands its [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké]] [[Miraidon's Poké Ball|Ball]] to the player.

As the player and Nemona make their way to Mesagoza, she introduces them to the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and arranges for the player to receive a [[Tera Orb]] so they can utilize the phenomenon as well. In Mesagoza, the player saves a girl named [[Penny]] from being harassed by members of [[Team Star]], a group of delinquent academy students accused of bullying. They are also contacted by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, Arven's mother{{sup/9|S}}/father{{sup/9|V}}, who reveals that the Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} the player now travels with was originally under their possession, and asks the player to look after it.

Three days later,<ref>The timelaps shows that it has been three days since the player arrived at the academy.</ref> Director Clavell initiates the Treasure Hunt, an independent study assignment where the {{tc|student}}s of the academy journey across Paldea in order to find something that they can call their own personal treasure. This allows the player to initiate three different storylines, either simultaneously or one by one.

===Victory Road===
At Nemona's urging, the player sets out to challenge the eight [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] around Paldea. Those who collect the eight necessary [[Badge|Gym Badges]] may take on the Champion Assessment at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} headquarters and obtain the Champion Rank. While the player travels around the region to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish, Nemona frequently shows up to support the player in various ways, most often by battling. The player is also introduced to [[Geeta]], the chairwoman of the [[Paldea League|Paldea Pokémon League]] and the region's strongest Champion-ranked Trainer, the Top Champion, as well as several members of Paldea's [[Elite Four]].

Once the player has all eight Gym Badges, they make their way to the Pokémon League headquarters. After passing an interview test, the player battles and defeats the Elite Four and Geeta, making them a Champion-ranked Trainer. Excited by the player finally becoming her equal, Nemona challenges them to one more battle, in which she holds nothing back. Defeating her in this battle concludes the Victory Road storyline.

===Path of Legends===
Arven tells the player about the five [[giant Pokémon]] known as [[Titan Pokémon]] he has read about that reside in various places over Paldea, and requests the player's help in defeating them and collecting their [[Herba Mystica]], legendary herbs said to have amazing health benefits. During the quest to defeat the Titans, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} gradually regains its old abilities by eating [[sandwich]]es made with the Herba Mystica. Arven eventually also reveals that he wishes to use the Herba Mystica to help heal his partner, {{p|Mabosstiff}}, who was severely injured a while back.

After all the Herba Mystica have been collected, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} has recovered all of its former powers, excluding its ability to {{pkmn|battle}}, and Arven's Mabosstiff makes a full recovery, much to Arven's immense relief. The {{pkmn|Professor}} then requests the player to come see them at their laboratory at the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], with Arven battling the player at his full power to test if they're both ready to take on the most dangerous area in the region. Defeating him concludes the Path of Legends.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
An individual referring to themselves as [[Cassiopeia]] hacks into the player's [[Rotom Phone]] and requests the player's help in taking down Team Star in an operation codenamed "Operation Starfall". Director Clavell, disguised as an academy student and using the pseudonym "Clive", joins the player as they make their way around Paldea to take down the five squads of Team Star at their bases by defeating the boss of each squad. During the player's one-man war against the team, they gradually learn more about the team's history. The team was formed by victims of bullying who, rallied together by their mysterious "big boss", decided to finally confront their bullies. However, when confronted 18 months before the events of the game, the bullies fled without even attempting to fight back and dropped out of the academy. Moreover, the then-deputy director of the academy wiped out all the cases of bullying from the school's records, making Team Star seem like bullies themselves. Blaming themselves for having failed to prevent this from occurring, the entire staff of the academy had resigned as a result, explaining why none of the current staff members know anything about the incident.

Eventually, once all five of Team Star's squads have been taken down, Cassiopeia reveals themselves as the "big boss" of Team Star, having started Operation Starfall because the team cannot continue operating in its current way, and tells the player to confront them in the schoolyard at night. At the academy, Clavell takes off his disguise and claims himself to be Cassiopeia, but after being defeated in a battle, he admits he was simply testing the player to see if they'd be ready to face the real Cassiopeia. The player meets the real Cassiopeia in the schoolyard, who reveals herself to be Penny. After Penny has been defeated, Clavell reveals that the Team Star bosses were watching the battle, and allows the team to continue operating as long as they turn their bases into training facilities for Trainers, which they accept. This concludes ★ Starfall Street ★.

===The Way Home===
After the first three stories have been concluded, the player, Arven, Nemona, and Penny make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the Professor's request. As the group travels to the four research stations around the area to unlock the door to the Professor's laboratory, they encounter primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon, which are revealed to have been brought to the present day from another era by a [[Time travel|time machine]] created by the Professor, including two specimens of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. At the laboratory's entrance, some of these [[Paradox Pokémon]] confront the player and their friends, forcing the player to enter the [[Zero Lab]] alone while their friends fight off the Pokémon outside.

Inside the laboratory, the player discovers that the Professor is actually a robot, created by the real Professor before they were killed by the second and more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The {{wp|artificial intelligence}} within the robot, despite being an exact copy of the Professor's memories and knowledge, opposes the original Professor's plan to keep the time machine running, as it would threaten to destroy Paldea's ecosystem with an overflow of Paradox Pokémon. However, since the AI is programmed to protect the time machine, the player is forced to battle it against its will. Once the AI has been defeated, the player is rejoined by their friends, and a program called the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over the robot Professor, as well as locking all [[Poké Ball]]s not marked with the Professor's ID. Finally regaining its ability to battle, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} confronts and defeats the other member of its kind, ending the Paradise Protection Protocol's hold over the AI. The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present. As such, the AI chooses to travel to another era using the time machine, bidding the player and their friends farewell as it disappears. After the time machine permanently shuts down, the player and their friends decide to take a slow and scenic route back to Mesagoza, concluding The Way Home and the main game.

===Post-game===
With the player and their friends returning to normal school life, Nemona suggests hosting a battle tournament at the school to celebrate the player's new Champion status, requesting for Geeta to take part in it as well as she is the chairwoman of the academy's school board. While Geeta says she's busy with her duties as the Pokémon League chairwoman, she agrees to take part if the player takes her place at inspecting all the [[Gym Leader]]s to see if they're still worthy of keeping their positions. As such, the player returns to each Gym and takes on the eight Gym Leaders once more in a series of [[rematch]]es.

After the player has finished the rematches and reported their inspection results to Geeta, the tournament, dubbed the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], is finally conducted. The player defeats Arven in the first round, the biology teacher [[Jacq]] in the second round, the battle studies teacher [[Dendra]] in the third round, and Geeta in the finals, officially making them the strongest Trainer at the academy. Clavell then declares that the tournament will not be a one-time event and will henceforth be held regularly, concluding the post-game story.

===The Teal Mask===
{{main|The Teal Mask}}
The player joins three other students on a school trip to the land of [[Kitakami]] in the east, where they participate in the Festival of Masks and uncover the tale of {{ga|Ogerpon}} and the [[Loyal Three]] alongside the local siblings [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]].

==Features==
The game is set in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and is an open-world game in which areas are seamlessly connected. The areas in the game can be visited in any order without Pokémon's levels being scaled to the player's achievements. The game also features multiplayer with up to four players simultaneously, enabling [[trade|trading]] and [[Pokémon battle|battling]] between players as well as allowing them to travel through the game's areas together.

===Terastal phenomenon===
{{main|Terastal phenomenon}}
The Terastal phenomenon is a new type of transformation that allows any Pokémon from the Paldea region to power up and become bejeweled using the [[Tera Orb]]. After Terastalizing, a Pokémon's natural type attribute is either enhanced or altered according to their innate Tera Type.

===Paradox Pokémon===
{{main|Paradox Pokémon}}
The Paradox Pokémon appear for the first time as "unidentified creatures"<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/</ref>. {{p|Great Tusk}} is described in the [[Scarlet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Scarlet, while {{p|Iron Treads}} is described in the [[Violet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Violet. They are a group of unique Pokémon that came from the ancient past in Pokémon Scarlet and the future in Pokémon Violet.

===Gyms===
Scarlet and Violet feature [[Gym]]s, just like most of the other core series titles. In Paldea, the Gym Leaders are [[Katy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Brassius]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Iono]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Kofu]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Ryme]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Tulip]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Grusha]] ({{t|Ice}}). For the first time in the series, the player is able to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish.

===Elite Four and Champion===
For the first time in a non-remake game since [[Generation IV]], the Elite Four can only be challenged in a fixed order. The members are [[Rika]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Poppy]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Flying}}), and [[Hassel]] ({{t|Dragon}}). After defeating all four Elite Four members, the player faces the Top Champion, [[Geeta]], who uses a team consisting of a variety of types.

===[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]===
Most version-exclusive Pokémon can be encountered and caught by players of the opposite version who join a [[Union Circle]] or [[Tera Raid Battle]], except for Koraidon and Miraidon, which require trading. {{p|Armarouge}} and {{p|Ceruledge}} can be obtained through raids, even solo raids in the opposite version that their evolution items can be obtained in, but not a Union Circle, and vice versa for Paradox Pokémon, not counting limited-time event Tera Raids.

==Compatibility==
===Pokémon GO===
The games are compatible with Pokémon GO through Bluetooth LE as of version 1.2.0 (released on February 27, 2023). Players can send postcards as well as [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s from their phone to the games.

Each time a postcard is sent, wild {{p|Vivillon}}'s pattern will change depending on the location where the Postcard came from. This effect lasts 24 hours in real-time, after which the pattern of wild Vivillon will be reset, and the player will be able to receive another Postcard.

===Pokémon HOME===
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]] as of HOME's version 3.0.0 (released on May 30, 2023). This allows them to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon HOME, including Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s that were [[transfer]]red into Pokémon HOME. Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Scarlet and Violet save files on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] and a [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Paldea Pokédex|select few]] "foreign" Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. A patch is set to be released with the iteration of the [[Indigo Disk]] DLC which will increase the number of Pokémon that can be transfered in Scarlet and Violet and those Pokémon will also be compatible with the base game even if the player has not purchased [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC. All [[regional form]]s of compatible Pokémon and their respective regional evolved forms are also compatible.

When a compatible Pokémon from another game first enters these sets of games, its moveset is changed to its four most recent level-up moves by default (though the player can make alterations). Additionally, any compatible Pokémon brought from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} will have their Poké Ball displayed as a [[Strange Ball]] due to their invalid Poké Ball IDs not being otherwise recognised in these games.

====Unusable moves====
{{main|List of moves by availability (Generation IX)}}
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, many moves, including {{cat|Moves usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield|those that are usable in Sword and Shield}}, are no longer usable. Pokémon do not normally learn these moves in the game. In lieu of their usual descriptions, most of these moves instead have the following generic description: "''This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.''"

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Monday, February 27, we released the version 1.2.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pokémon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience.

;Newly Added Features
* The Nintendo eShop page for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-scarlet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016943-switch/ Pokémon Scarlet] game or the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-violet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016942-switch/ Pokémon Violet] game can now be accessed via the main menu. For more details on The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, please visit [https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_part_1_2/ The Pokémon Company].
* Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue.
* Players can now [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61360 connect their games to Pokémon GO].

;Feature Adjustments
* Additional functionality has been added for Pokémon Boxes:
** From a Pokémon’s summary, players can now change Pokémon’s nicknames, markings, held items, and mark- or Ribbon-related titles, as well as reorder moves, have Pokémon remember or forget moves, and use TMs.
** Players can also now swap out held items by pressing the Y Button when in the '''Held Items''' view.
** Players are now able to select '''All Boxes''' while moving Pokémon or items in the '''Party and Boxes''' view and '''Held Items''' view.
** When in the '''Battle Team''' view, Pokémon in your Boxes that are assigned to a Battle Team will now have their icons displayed in a darker hue if those Pokémon are members of the Battle Team that is currently being displayed.
* The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Poké Portal.

;Bug Fixes
;Tera Raid Battles
* A bug could prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time that certain status conditions are applied, causing the Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual manner. This has been fixed.
* A bug that caused all Pokémon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP could occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.
* A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any input into the game could occur if a Tera Pokémon took certain actions while the player was choosing the target of their move. This has been fixed.
* Errors could occur when someone connecting to a Tera Raid Battle saw a different Pokémon displayed on their screen than what the host saw. This has been fixed.
* A bug could occur that caused players joining a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be brought to a Tera Raid Battle against a Pokémon different from the one they saw displayed. This has been fixed.
* A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.

;Battles
* Type matchups against Pokémon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
* We have fixed a bug in which a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its {{a|Illusion}} Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark by using the '''Check Target''' option.
* We have fixed a bug in which the type matchups of moves targeting a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability would display based on the type of the Pokémon that Zoroark was disguised as, rather than Zoroark’s Tera Type.
* We have fixed a bug in which the stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth increased when Dondozo used Order Up when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect).
* We have fixed a bug in which the effects of Destiny Bond failed to activate if a Pokémon Terastallized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.

;Other
* We have addressed an issue that made the game prone to forcibly closing at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be fewer Pokémon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild.
* We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon that is not a part of the Paldea Pokédex was displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pokédex after being obtained through a Link Trade.
* Certain actions prevented the main character’s expressions from changing until the game was closed and reopened. This has been fixed.
* A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season’s results had been calculated caused an error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been fixed.
* We have fixed a bug in which a player may not have received the Master Rank Ribbon if they had registered several Battle Teams but had not used the Battle Team in the first slot when winning Ranked Battles in the Master Ball Tier.
* We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon you caught may not have listened to your commands in accordance with what is written in the profile app (“Pokémon caught at Lv. XX or below will listen to your commands”) if that Pokémon was Link Traded back to you from another player.
* We have fixed a bug in which new information may not have been added to your Pokédex after you received a Shiny Pokémon or a Pokémon caught by a Trainer who plays in a different language via Surprise Trade if you already had that species registered to your Pokédex.
* Objects such as Poké Balls could have been displayed in certain areas unintentionally. This has been fixed.
* Passersby are no longer displayed during certain battles that take place in towns during the main story.
* A number of other bug fixes have been implemented.

* The TM Preview image for {{m|Acrobatics}} mistakenly had remnants of a developer debugging menu, which was fixed.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230308132800/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1633457907777015809</ref>

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Wednesday, April 19, we released the version 1.3.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

;Support for Trainers Who Caught an Egg Instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in Tera Raid Battles
Trainers who caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in a Tera Raid Battle before updating to version 1.2.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet were affected by a bug that prevented them from catching either of these Pokémon.

This bug has been fixed, and Trainers who caught such Eggs instead of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will now be able to catch these Pokémon.

In addition, the Tera Raid Battle events for these two Pokémon will return around the same time as this game update. Visit this page for details on the Tera Raid Battle events.

;Feature Adjustments
A change has been made to the deadline for entries for Friendly Competitions, which are found in the Online Competitions section of the Battle Stadium.

*Before this change: Entries were allowed until the Friendly Competition began.
*After this change: Entries will be allowed until the Friendly Competition ends.

;Bug Fixes
;Link Battles

*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where selecting Swap in just before the selection timer reached zero could fail to switch in the selected Pokémon and subsequently cause switching — and the battle itself — to act abnormally.
*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where once the remaining time for the battle was under one minute, it would no longer be displayed where it was supposed to.
*Fixed a bug that occurred in Link Battles where, depending on the move being used at the time a Pokémon fainted, the amount of time a Trainer received to select their next Pokémon was reduced.
Battles

*Fixed a bug where the {{a|Cud Chew}} Ability would trigger again once every two turns after it triggered the first time, contrary to what is written in the Ability description.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark Terastallized while using its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon. On the Check Status screen, the Terastallized Zoroark’s type would display as the original type of the Pokémon it had disguised itself as, rather than Zoroark’s Tera Type.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon that had already Terastallized. This bug caused Zoroark’s type on the Check Status screen to incorrectly display as the Tera Type of the Pokémon Zoroark had disguised itself as.
*Fixed a bug in Double Battles with moves that cause stat changes for the Pokémon using the moves. This bug caused the stat changes to incorrectly happen twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with the move while an opposing Pokémon was behind a Substitute.

;Pokémon GO Connectivity

*Fixed the main issue causing the game to crash on the screen used to pair with a Pokémon GO account.

;Other

*Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers’ Pokédexes.
Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

Release of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet
*Trainers who have purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will now be able to enjoy adventures in Part 1: The Teal Mask. Please click here for more details on Part 1: The Teal Mask.

Additional Pokémon
*For Trainers who have not purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, additional Pokémon may appear via local or online communication modes.

Newly Added Features
*You will now be able lock the mini map that appears while you are out in the field so that up is always north. You can do this by pressing the Right Stick twice while you have the map app open to select the App and mini maps locked setting.
*Camera settings have been added to the Options menu. These settings will let you adjust how the camera works while you are out in the field.
*We have added a feature that allows you to signal a Pokémon accompanying you in the field to stop and wait where it is. To give this signal, press the Left Stick.
*You can now take pictures by pressing the A Button in the camera app.
*You can now play music by pressing the ZL Button or ZR Button while the camera app is open. You may find that Pokémon accompanying you in the field and people around you will react to the music.
*While using the Union Circle, Trainers can now share photos they have taken with the camera app during that Union Circle session with the friends they are playing with.
*We have added a feature to TM Machines that allows you to filter for moves your Pokémon can learn. By interacting with a TM Machine and selecting the option to filter for learnable moves, you will be able to display only TMs containing moves that a specific Pokémon can learn.
Bug Fixes and Feature Adjustments
*Incorrect descriptive text for the moves Ceaseless Edge, Dire Claw, and Stone Axe has been corrected. The descriptions for these moves previously included the words “aiming to land a critical hit,” but these moves do not increase the critical-hit ratio in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. This wording has been removed from these descriptions.
*We have fixed a bug where the Itemfinder Mark would not be applied to a Pokémon even if the conditions were met.
*Wild Pokémon that have the Titan Mark will now reappear in the field after a certain amount of time if they have been defeated.
*We have made adjustments to the way Pokémon icons are displayed in the Boxes.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.
|
*Certain Pokémon had their data adjusted.
**{{p|Basculin}}'s catch rate was increased from 25 to 190
**Many Pokémon's [[TM]] compatibility was increased, often involving moves the evolutionary relatives could learn but that stage could not.
**Certain Pokémon acquired new [[Move Reminder]] and [[Egg Moves]]; most notably [[Lake guardians]] and [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Grimer}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, and {{p|Luvdisc}}, respectively, who did not have any at all.

Bug Fixes

*Under certain conditions, victories against the NPC Trainers scattered across the game world may not have been recorded. As a result, the rewards players could earn by winning a certain number of battles — such as from Pokémon League representatives in the Paldea region or Ogre Clan members in the land of Kitakami — were not obtainable. This bug has been fixed, so players who experienced this issue can now challenge affected NPC Trainers again to record their victories and subsequently receive any eligible rewards.
*It was not previously possible to transfer certain special Pokémon to Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet via Pokémon HOME if those Pokémon were brought into Pokémon HOME from Pokémon GO, even if a Pokémon of the same species had already been obtained in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet prior to version 1.3.2. This bug has been fixed, and the issue has been resolved.
*Other select bug fixes have been implemented.
|
* Fixed a bug in Version 2.0.1 in which the game would crash when fighting the Paradise Protection Protocol's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} while having Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} registered in the [[Pokédex]].<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1712285713738142195</ref>
|}
Notes:
* v1.0.0 is present on the physical game cards, and is playable on a Switch whose internet connection remains off.
* On June 19, 2023, it was announced that a future update would fix the move descriptions of {{m|Dire Claw}}, {{m|Ceaseless Edge}}, and {{m|Stone Axe}}, which incorrectly state that they have a high critical-hit ratio (as they did in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}).<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/en/page/115.html</ref> However, the June 28, 2023 update did not include this change.

'''Professor Sada''' (Japanese: '''オーリム''' ''Olim'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]. Her counterpart in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] is [[Professor Turo]].

==In the core series games==
Ten years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet, Professor Sada was part of the team that explored the [[Paldea|Great Crater of Paldea]], setting up the [[Zero Lab]] in [[Area Zero]]. There, Sada discovered and named the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. Sada was able to develop a prototype for the [[Tera Orb]], earning her corporate backing for her projects and allowing her to set up a second laboratory in a lighthouse near Cabo Poco. Furthermore, she was able to harness more of the unstable energy, despite concern from her funders, and moved the majority of her research back to the Zero Lab. Sada, fascinated with the idea of Pokémon from other ages, succeeded in developing a [[Time travel|time machine]] that would allow her to reach out to [[Paradox Pokémon]], Pokémon from the ancient past, by transporting Poké Balls to different points on the timeline to catch them and bring them into modern time. These included {{p|Koraidon}}, an ancient ancestor of {{p|Cyclizar}}. Additionally, she had begun expecting a child.

However, Sada began to become obsessed with her research, continuing the influx of Paradox Pokémon into the modern day in her pursuit of a paradise for her family. Shortly after [[Arven]] was born, Arven's father abandoned Sada, driving her deeper into her work and ironically causing her to begin neglecting the very family she had sought to build her paradise for. Arven ended up growing up in the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]] on his own, never seeing or connecting with Sada due to the latter's newfound devotion to the Tera Project. This estrangement was intensified by Sada's search for a more suitable assistant, leading to her creating an {{wp|artificial intelligence}} copy of herself using the Zero Lab's crystals to double productivity, as humanity does not possess the knowledge to develop a sophisticated AI in the time period the game takes place in, which is why the AI cannot leave Area Zero. Together, they were able to transport a second, more aggressive Koraidon to the present day, in hopes that the two Koraidon could survive and thrive in their new surroundings. At some point, Sada also developed the [[Poké Ball]] Lock System, an ID-based defense mechanism for her lab.

Sada was determined to maintain her dream of past and present Pokémon existing in harmony. Unfortunately, Sada's research was cut short when she attempted to stop a territorial battle between the two Koraidon, defending the passive one and taking a mortal blow from the aggressive one. This also led to the destruction of Research Station No. 4, and Sada eventually passed away, leaving her AI to manage the remnants of her work in her place. However, the AI did not agree with accepting the ecological consequences of Sada's dream, and began impersonating her, reaching out to Sada's associates in hopes of finding a way to end the Tera Project once and for all.

===Path of Legends===
The AI first contacts the {{player}} when they enter the [[Naranja Academy]] for the first time, impersonating Sada and asking them to take care of the {{ga|Koraidon}} that was once under her possession. Throughout the game, the AI frequently contacts the player as Koraidon gradually regains the powers it once lost. Once Koraidon is fully powered, the AI asks the player to travel to Sada's laboratory at the Great Crater of Paldea.

===The Way Home===
As the player, [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] traverse the area to reach Sada's laboratory, they discover the history of the two Koraidon and Sada's time machine in notebooks left behind in each research station.

At the [[Zero Lab]], the AI reveals its nature to the player and the fate that befell its creator. While Sada wished to let Pokémon of the past keep entering the modern day through the time machine, the AI refuses to let the [[Paldea]] region's ecosystem be ruined by these time-displaced Pokémon and asks for the player's help in shutting down the time machine. The AI is, however, programmed to protect the time machine, so the player is forced to battle it and the Paradox Pokémon it wields against the AI's will.

After the AI is defeated, the security system initiates the '''Paradise Protection Protocol''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|楽園防衛|らくえんぼうえい}}プログラム''' ''Paradise Defense Program''), which sends out the AI's Koraidon, and activates the Poké Ball Lock System, preventing the player from using any of their Pokémon due to lacking Sada's ID. Thus, the player uses their Koraidon, whose [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké Ball]] has Sada's ID associated, to battle against the AI's Koraidon. Once the Paradise Protection Protocol has been defeated, the AI understands that the time machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present to reboot the system, so it chooses to travel to the ancient past its creator had hoped to see, bidding farewell to the player and their friends as it disappears into the time machine.

===Pokémon===
AI Sada's Pokémon are contained in [[Master Ball]]s.

====Second battle====
Koraidon is given the title '''the Guardian of Paradise''' during the battle, and its HP is displayed similarly to a [[Starmobile]] or [[Titan Pokémon]].

As a scripted battle, the enemy Koraidon will always use {{m|Taunt}} on the first turn to prevent the player from using {{m|Endure}} during the first three turns. If the player's Pokémon receives an otherwise lethal attack, it will always survive with 1 HP, even if it has not used Endure on that turn. Damage is never varied by a random factor during calculation, and [[critical hit]]s cannot occur during this battle. {{m|Flamethrower}} never causes a {{status|burn}}. Once the [[harsh sunlight]] instigated by {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}} ends (which is eight turns due to the enemy Koraidon's held item), the player's Pokémon will be forced to [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] (if it has not already) and use {{m|Tera Blast}} every turn until the enemy Koraidon is defeated.

Professor Sada was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as '''Professor's Research [Professor Sada]''' during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} set, before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, as both a Regular card and an {{TCG|ultra rare}}. Both versions feature artwork by [[kirisAki]]. The card allows players to discard their hand, then draw seven cards; an identical effect to other Professors' cards.

The {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} expansion in Japan) saw the release of a second card featuring Professor Sada: '''{{TCG ID|Paradox Rift|Professor Sada's Vitality|170}}''', with artwork by [[Megumi Mizutani]]. This card allows players to attach a {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} from their discard pile to up to two of their Ancient Pokémon, as well as to draw three cards.

==Trivia==
*Professor Sada was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1601480836062117888 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
**She and [[Professor Turo]] are the first human characters designed by Turner for the [[core series]] games.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1601664573374726144 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
*She and Professor Turo both differ from the previous Pokémon Professors from the core series in many ways:
**Neither of them have names derived from flora.
**Both have been confirmed deceased before the game's events, thus they are the only Professors the player never actually meets.
***They are also the first Trainers in the core series to be battled post-mortem, via an AI; as well as the only non-human antagonists in the core series not to be Pokémon.
**Both served as the main antagonist, as well as the final main game opponent in a core series game.
** Both are the only Pokémon Professors to be version-exclusive, as all other Professors are available throughout all versions of their games.
*Unlike previous Trainer battles in which the opponent battles the player with more than six Pokémon, the player also uses a seventh Pokémon against AI Sada. This is also the case when battling her counterpart AI Turo.
*AI Sada's eye color changes from cyan to brown after she is battled for the first time, and remains brown for the remainder of her appearance in Pokémon Scarlet.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' until she decided to return home.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew up in [[Cerulean City]] in the [[Kanto]] region with her [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Eventually, Misty became one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders before ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Archipelago]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.
[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., Misty and Andreas battled each other to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.
[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|left|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she narrowly lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend a significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Misty never physically appeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterward, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a [[Multi Battle]], but she and her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} lost against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Moves]], she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.
[[File:Misty catching Clauncher.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty after catching a Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Misty and Ash traveled to [[Galar]]. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}}, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Misty joined Ash to rescue a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', Misty joined Ash to give {{p|Banette}} a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to {{p|Banette}}. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty attempted to aid [[James's Mime Jr.]], who seemingly defected from its Trainer, in locating [[Officer Jenny]] to refer their latest plot. She held off [[James's Yamask]] and [[Jessie's Frillish]] with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessed {{an|Latias}}' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friend {{p|Latios}} escaping confinement.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:The gang.png|thumb|220px|Misty and her friends]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]].

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her love for Water-type Pokémon]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.
[[File:Misty Cascade Badge.png|thumb|250px|Misty holding a Cascade Badge]]
Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.
[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}. When asked how she feels about dual-typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as {{p|Dewpider}}, Misty replied "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.
{{-}}
===Pokémon===
[[File:Misty party JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty and some of her Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon. Pokémon listed as "in rotation" were seen in her team in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

She presumably also has access to any other Pokémon at the Gym, such as {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}, [[Caserin and Luverin|Luverin]], {{DL|The Sensational Sisters|Unknown|Seaking, Goldeen, Shellder, and Seel}}, due to being the Gym Leader.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of [[The Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Misty is the only main character with a game counterpart to not have any of her main outfits influenced by those worn by [[Misty|her game counterpart]].
* Out of all of [[Ash's friends]], Misty:
** Holds the record for having the most Pokémon [[Party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
** Is the first one to have challenged a [[Gym]], albeit an unofficial one, as shown in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
** Is the first one to have released a non-temporary Pokémon permanently.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty:
** Has appeared in the most amount of episodes, at 296.
** Has owned the most Pokémon, at 12.
** Is the first one to have had a full team of six Pokémon on hand, having done so thrice. {{an|Dawn}} would be the only other female character to have a full party on hand.
** Is the only one to own more than one Pokémon of a given evolutionary family, those being {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name ('''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'', meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}) references the floral theme behind the name of her older sisters: {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. In all other languages, her name references water.
* Out of all of Ash's friends who temporarily returned after departing with Ash, Misty:
** Is the first to return in more than one series.
*** Furthermore, Misty is the only one that has done so to have changed from ''and'' back to her [[List of clothing (anime)|original outfit]] , as she returned to wearing her [[original series]] outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', after changing into a different outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' onward.
** Is the only one who has had new Pokémon added to her party, those being {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}.
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]], and then switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned their children and the Cerulean Gym due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old. She also went to school at a girls-only school, with the closest she had to any significant encounter with someone of the opposite sex before meeting Ash was during the third grade where she lured a boy behind the gymnasium to tell him off for picking on one of her friends and beating him up.
* Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing," it would be for something else like a battle.
** In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', however, Misty returned as a long-term traveling companion of Ash in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:

* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using [[Mewtwonite Y]].

It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mew}}.

==Biology==
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. It is primarily gray with a long, purple tail. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

Mewtwo was created after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments based on {{p|Mew}}. It is widely known as one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence and is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. In the first movie, where it was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy, mind control, and the ability to create powerful storms, {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} exemplified these vicious characteristics. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} in the anime shared its aversion to contact with others but was much less belligerent. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Though {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} in the wild, it is said to be resting in a dark cave somewhere. It has a rivalry with Mew.

According to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|scientific logs]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born from a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where [[Mr. Fuji|a scientist]] performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], accessible only after a Trainer has proven their skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Psystrike}}.

===Forms===
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.jpeg|thumb|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from V-shaped ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its torso is smooth and small compared to its long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connects the collar and underbelly. Its forearms and thighs each have two raised ridges and its digits are now longer and thinner. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. When using moves in battle, it is shown to be able to stretch its arms and legs.

Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail and also slightly resembles [[Jessie|Jessie's]] hairstyle. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two. Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought.

* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].

After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]], as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|anime}} opening appearances of any [[Legendary Pokémon]], with seven in Japan.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several [[Mega Evolution]] similarities. Both Pokémon are the only ones to have two Mega Evolutions instead of one. Both of their Y Mega Evolutions were revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their typing in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are physically oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are specially oriented.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientists|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the anime. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first [[Mega Evolution]] revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the anime, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Eternatus|Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
*** Mega Mewtwo X's Attack increase is the largest single stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, at 80 points.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon and the highest single base stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' and ''two''.

'''Elio''' (Japanese: '''ヨウ''' ''Yō'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Selene}}.

==Terminology==
'''Elio''' (Japanese: '''ヨウ''' ''Yō'') is the most commonly used name used for this character, including in promotional videos for Sun and Moon, in merchandise, and in the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Masters EX}}. He is never directly named in the [[core series]] games or their manuals.

The promotional videos and the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version]] also refer to the character as '''Sun''' (Japanese: '''サン''' ''Sun'').

===Character profile===
Elio is the male player character in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and because of this, he acts in the role of a silent protagonist like most other player characters in the series. Despite this, he can still make player based decisions, in most cases this will offer unique dialogue with certain characters responding or reacting in certain ways depending on how they're chosen. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Rotom Pokédex]] will act differently depending on how Elio interacts with it.

As the player character, Elio will interact with most of the game's cast, forming friendships and experience as he travels through Alola on her [[island challenge]]. He forms friendly [[rival]]ries with [[Hau]] and [[Gladion]], as well as a [[friend]]ship with [[Lillie]]. Elio inspires Hau and Lillie to improve on themselves, due to his skill level and kindness with Pokémon.

Elio's known relatives include his [[Mom (Alola)|mother]], and his unnamed father.{{sup/7|USUM}} Elio is native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] and currently resides in Alola's {{rt|1|alola}} in the [[Hau'oli City]] Outskirts, with his mother and {{p|Meowth}}. [[Professor Kukui]] considers him and Lillie to be Elio's neighbor.<ref>[[Professor Kukui]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"And that's how you met our new neighbor <player>, huh? He/She just got to Alola yesterday. Help him/her find his/her way around, yeah?"''</ref>

Elio, along with his female counterpart, Selene, and {{ga|Red}}, are the youngest core series protagonists with known ages at the time of being playable. Being at the age of eleven.

====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb:''' "''You will choose to be a hero or heroine in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, and you can name yourself whatever you'd like. The story begins right after your character has moved to the Alola region. No sooner have you arrived than your adventures begin to unfold, and you'll meet many people and Pokémon as you grow and learn.''"

Elio is an 11-year-old boy who recently moved from the [[Kanto]] [[region]] to [[Melemele Island]] in the [[Alola]] region. He moved to the region along with his {{al|Mom|mother}}. Elio exclusively appears as a [[player character]].

====Start of the island challenge====
Elio begins his adventure when [[Professor Kukui]] asks to see him. After grabbing his bag and hat, he walks with the professor to [[Iki Town]] to receive his [[starter Pokémon]] from the island's [[island kahuna|kahuna]], [[Hala]]. Mistaking the young girl for the kahuna, he runs into [[Lillie]], who's {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], has escaped her bag and gets attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an [[Mahalo Trail|unsteady plank bridge]]. He quickly protects the Pokémon despite not having one of his own. After the bridge collapses, the island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two from falling. Elio quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town for Elio to choose his first Pokémon. After doing so, he gives the [[Sparkling Stone]] to Hala, receives a [[Pokédex]] from the professor, and meets [[Hau]], a [[rival]] who he be[[friend]]s and has battles with often. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Elio how to become a proper Trainer. He battles Hau once again and is given a [[Z-Ring]] by Kahuna Hala, officially starting his [[island challenge]]. Professor Kukui then updates his Pokédex to the [[Rotom Pokédex]] with a Pokémon by the name of {{p|Rotom}}, who becomes a new friend and mentor for the young trainer. After Lillie and Kukui describe the functions of Rotom Dex, Hau comes into the Pokémon Research Lab and the three learn more about their [[island challenge]]. Elio then sets out to Alola's {{al|Trainers' School}} with Lillie, who helps helps care for and teach Elio about his Pokémon. Elio gets called to the principal's office (to which Lillie and Rotom jokingly tease him for) and graduates from the school. Elio begins walking to [[Hau'oli City]] with his new friends, discussing island life and the upcoming city. As soon as they get to the new city, the three explore the island, and Hau drags Elio to the tourist bureau to upgrade Rotom Dex. After which, Elio takes a group picture with Hau and Lillie using the new function. While on his island challenge through Melemele, Elio runs into the troublesome [[Team Skull]], a group of hooligans harassing people and interfering with the island life. He clears his first trial with [[Ilima]] and gets taught how to use [[Z-Move]]s from the professor. After finding Nebby who is lost in [[Melemele Meadow]], Elio defeats Hala in his first grand trial and travels with Lillie, Hau and Kukui to the island of Akala to proceed his island challenge.

====Trials on Akala Island====
On [[Akala Island]], Elio is asked by Lillie, who is currently staying at [[Heahea City]], to help her finding more about and protecting Nebby. On his island challenge, Elio runs into another rival, Team Skull's [[Gladion]], who seems to be berating Hau for how he battles and his strength. Elio defeats the Team Skull enforcer, and goes on with his island challenge, accomplishing [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]] and [[Mallow]]'s trials. Along the way, Elio visits [[Royal Avenue]], where he meets with [[Hapu]], a young Pokémon Trainer going on a small journey herself and [[Professor Kukui|The Masked Royal]], a masked wrestler who shows her how to perform in [[Battle Royal]]s at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], as well as [[Colress]], a scientist, on {{rt|8|alola}}. Elio makes his way back down to Heahea's Dimensional Research Lab ran by Kukui's wife, [[Professor Burnet]] to learn about her research on [[dimension]]s. Going through [[Diglett's Tunnel]], Elio has a reencounter with Kahuna [[Olivia]] who agrees to do a grand trial with Elio. During their travels on {{rt|9|alola}}, they meet [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]], after helping the organization with a problem, asks to meet them at the [[Hano Grand Resort]]. Elio faces off against Olivia in a grand trial, with the nearby Lillie and Nebby enjoying the battle. Hau informs Elio about their meet with Faba, to which Lillie declines. Faba brings both Hau and Elio on a tour of [[Aether Paradise]]. There, the duo meets [[Wicke]] and the company's president, [[Lusamine]], who explains her goals of protecting Pokémon. Elio protects Lusamine from a then {{p|Nihilego|unknown}} Pokémon called an [[Ultra Beast]], reaching the artificial island through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Under the guidance of Wicke, they are sent to [[Ula'ula Island]] and regroup with Professor Kukui and Lillie after the dangerous events that took place.

====Ula'ula Island====
Elio continues his island challenge, he is informed by Lillie to visit the professor at [[Malie Garden]] and come back. Lillie requests help with research at the [[Malie Library]]. There, Elio meets with Hapu again and is given access to a book in the library by a [[Trial Captain|Captain]], [[Acerola]]. After reading The Light of Alola, Elio rides the Exeggutor Express traveling up to [[Mount Hokulani]]'s [[Hokulani Observatory|observatory]] and he learns from Professor Kukui about the now developing {{al|Pokémon League}}. Returning to Malie Garden, Elio runs into [[Guzma]], Team Skull's Boss who thinks the Pokémon League and island challenge is unnecessary. Noticing his Z-Ring, Guzma picks a fight with Elio and shows him his strength. Elio regroups with Hau and travels down to [[Tapu Village]] to stay at [[Aether House]]. Along the way, they run into Gladion once more, aggressively telling the two to protect Cosmog at all costs if they know anything about it. Lillie gets attacked by a [[Team Skull Grunt]] after breaking away from Acerola and Hapu, to which Elio jumps in and protects the young lady. After finishing his sixth trial with Acerola, Elio sets out to [[Po Town]], Team Skull's base, to rescue a {{p|Yungoos}} who was living at the orphanage. This turns out to be a scheme conducted by Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]], who Elio has fought before, kidnapping Lillie and Nebby and brings them to Aether Paradise. Overhearing the conversation, Gladion forces Elio and Hau to come with him to the facility with certain that Lillie is there.

====Rescue at Aether Paradise====
The now hostile Aether Foundation attempts to prevent the group from finding out about information on Cosmog and Lillie. Elio goes to Aether's Secret Lab B, and learns more about Cosmog, it's origins, and professor [[Mohn]]. Regrouping with Hau and Gladion, Elio takes down Team Skull and rematching their leader once more before reaching the mansion where Lillie and Lusamine are kept. Elio finds out that the President of the Aether Foundation, is in fact the mother of both Lillie and Gladion; and has an obsession with Ultra Beasts. Lillie insists to her mother that Nebby will [[death in the Pokémon world|die]] if their power is misused. It is revealed Lusamine had ended up kidnapping Nebby, containing the Pokémon in a cage and been using its powers to unleash hordes of Ultra Beasts across the Alola region, ending with both her and Guzma traveling to [[Ultra Space]] after a battle. This process has caused Nebby to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Cosmoem}} (although none of them seem to be aware of this). Under the guidance of Wicke, they stay at Aether Paradise for the night and the next day the group splits off, with Gladion giving Lillie the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|M}}.

====Poni Island====
With newfound courage, Elio and Lillie travel to [[Poni Island]]'s [[Seafolk Village]] to search for a way to find Lusamine and save Nebby. The two meet up with Hapu for the third time, and brings them to the [[Ruins of Hope]], watching her become the kahuna of Poni Island. Hapu tells them of a second flute, and a ritual to be performed on top of Poni's Altar. After a small journey through [[Exeggutor Island]], Elio grabs the counterpart of Lillie's flute and is met with Plumeria and Team Skull at [[Ancient Poni Path]], telling them to help Guzma. Elio finishes his last grand trial with Hapu, with the group of three proceeding through [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. At the end of the canyon, Elio completes the last of his seven trials, and is met with the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} where he and Lillie perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the book in Malie: {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}. Nebby takes them to [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]] and Elio confronts and defeats Lusamine, who berates him for helping and befriending Lillie. After a final showdown against the Lusamine-Nihilego fusion, they're brought back to Alola by Nebby.

====Ending====
[[File:SM Ending Screen Male Default.png|thumb|300px|right|Elio and his friends]]
Nebby wishes to come with Elio and Lillie on more adventures, but Lillie insists on Elio catching Nebby, saying that he will be Nebby's father now. Lillie says goodbye after Elio has caught Nebby. After {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Nebby, Elio is brought back to Tapu Village by [[Nanu]] and climbs to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] to take on Alola's newly established Pokémon League and [[Elite Four]]. His strength is tested by both Hau and Gladion, with words of good luck from Lillie before hand. After defeating the Elite Four, Elio is challenged by one person, the League's founder, Professor Kukui, ending in a win for Elio who is then declared as the first-ever {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. During the subsequent celebration in [[Iki Town]], Lillie takes Elio to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], where the newly crowned Champion faces Tapu Koko in battle in thanks for saving him and Nebby on Mahalo Trail. Lillie and Elio are then brought back to the festival and enjoy themselves. Lillie intends to tell Elio something, but gets stopped. The following day, Hau tells Elio of an emergency and that they need to go to the Marina in Hau'oli immediately. It turns out that Lillie is leaving Alola to go to Kanto, and Elio has to say goodbye. After seeing his friend leave, Professor Kukui brings Elio back home.

Elio appears in the credits on a photo on the end screen, a photo that he, Hau and Lillie all took at Hau'oli City from the start of their journey. This photo is a part of an animated sequence. This sequence has a package sitting next to Lillie's pink rucksack. The contents of this package include the photo (among many others) that Elio, Hau and Lillie took at Hau'oli City; Selene's trial amulet, and a letter to Lillie. A quote, "''Everyone's smiles shine so brightly. Those smiles led us to so many other people. And those meetings will lead us to a bright future. I'm so glad I got to meet everyone. I'm so glad I got to meet you.''" is displayed over an image of Lillie and Nebby before this sequence, it can be assumed that she is either talking about the player or Nebby. It is implied that Elio had taken all the other pictures found in the package.

====Post-game====
At the start of the day, Hau informs Elio of his victory with Hala, and gives him the two remaining Z-Crystals of the starters. Elio is then contacted by [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]] of the [[International Police]], who request his help in catching the Ultra Beasts unleashed into Alola due to Lusamine's actions. Elio agrees to this, successfully catching all the Ultra Beasts roaming around Alola. While learning about the Ultra Beasts, Elio soon finds out that he may be a [[Faller]], a person who has gone through Ultra Wormholes and were bathed in tremendous amounts of [[Z-Power]].

Elio eventually finds his way through the rest of Poni Island, gaining access to a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Evolution]] from a revisit with [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]], who he has met in Heahea City. At the end of Poni Island, he encounters the [[Battle Tree]] and meets [[Red (game)|Red]] and [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the Battle Tree's [[Battle Legend]]s.

At Aether Paradise, Elio meets up with Gladion, who is now the acting president of the Aether Foundation. Gladion thanks Elio for his help with his family, especially with Lillie, claiming that Lillie has never smiled so happily since she met Elio. Gladion rewards them with a {{p|Type: Null}}, and says he is looking forward to Alola's strong champion.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
====Background and pre-game====
Like in the original Sun and Moon games, Elio is an 11-year-old boy who moved from Kanto to Alola with his mother. Sometime before his move to Alola, he has met [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], and got a signed [[Autograph]] from him. He put this autograph on a pedestal in his room.

During his travels, Elio encounters a group of strange pale people known as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who are later revealed to be working with the Aether Foundation. When Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped, Elio follows them and finds out that Lillie's mother, Lusamine, is seeking to travel to Ultra Recon Squad's home world to stop a Pokémon known as {{p|Necrozma}} before it can threaten Alola. He successfully uses Nebby's powers to travel to this alternate world, leaving Lillie and Elio to figure out how to follow her. They travel to Poni Island and perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. However, before Elio and Lillie can go after Lusamine, she's suddenly thrown out of an Ultra Wormhole before them, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma proceeds to battle and absorb Nebby, before traveling back to Ultra Space. With the Ultra Recon Squad's help, Elio travels to their home world of [[Ultra Megalopolis]], where he defeats Necrozma once again and saves Nebby.

After completing his last island challenge trial, Elio climbs Mount Lanakila to reach the newly established Pokémon League at its summit, re-encountering Necrozma along the way. After Elio has defeated the brand-new Alola Elite Four, Professor Kukui arrives and presents Hau as his final challenge before he can claim the championship. Elio successfully defeats Hau one last time, making him the first Champion of Alola.

Later, Elio assists the Ultra Recon Squad in catching some Ultra Beasts roaming around Poni Island. But no sooner has he returned home that he learns of an evil organization called [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] appearing in the region. The team takes over Aether Paradise, sets up [[Team Rocket's Castle|their base]] on it, and kindnaps Lusamine. Elio storms the base and takes down the members of Team Rainbow Rocket, including their leader, [[Giovanni]], saving Lusamine and making Team Rainbow Rocket leave Alola.

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Elio can have up to all 802{{sup/7|SM}}/807{{sup/7|USUM}} Pokémon available in the Alola games. He makes no NPC roles.

Due to being the player character, ELio is required to pick between {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} as his first partner Pokémon in both Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In the original Sun and Moon titles, Elio is required to capture [[Nebby]] at [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar. A Battle against a wild [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Exeggutor}} on [[Exeggutor Island]] is required to be fought in the plot but is not required to be captured. In Sun and Moon, Elio is also required to take part in battle against {{p|Tapu Koko}}, while not required to be caught, Lillie will offer unique dialogue upon capturing. In Sun and Moon's post adventure Elio is tasked to capture 5 of the 7 [[Ultra Beast]]s that appear.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lillie with Nebby, will appear on [[Mahalo Trail]] in the post-game, Nebby as either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} will be fought and required to be caught if the event is activated. Elio is required to catch either two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} under some orders of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

'''Selene''' (Japanese: '''ミヅキ''' ''Mizuki'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Elio}}.

==Terminology==
'''Selene''' (Japanese: '''ミヅキ''' ''Mizuki'') is the most commonly used name used for this character, including in promotional videos for Sun and Moon, in merchandise, and in the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Masters EX}}. She is never directly named in the [[core series]] games or their manuals.

The promotional videos also refer to the character as '''Moon''' (Japanese: '''ムーン''' ''Moon''). Promotional videos and trailers for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon refer to her as '''Ailey''' (Japanese: '''コウミ''' ''Koumi'').

The GoodSmile Company's page for the [[figma]] Selene figure lists the character as '''Mizuki''' instead, both in English and Japanese, but this is contradicted by the actual figure box and [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center]]'s listing for the same product.

The game's internal data and English website simply refer to Selene as '''HEROINE''' or '''heroine'''.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Selene is the female player character in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and because of this, she acts in the role of a silent protagonist like most other player characters in the series. Despite this, she can still make player based decisions, in most cases this will offer unique dialogue with certain characters responding or reacting in certain ways depending on how they're chosen. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Rotom Pokédex]] will act differently depending on how Selene interacts with it.

As the player character, Selene will interact with most of the game's cast, forming friendships and experience as she travels through Alola on her [[island challenge]]. She forms friendly [[rival]]ries with [[Hau]] and [[Gladion]], as well as a [[friend]]ship with [[Lillie]]. Selene inspires Hau and Lillie to improve on themselves, due to her skill level and kindness with Pokémon.

Selene's known relatives include her [[Mom (Alola)|mother]], and her unnamed father.{{sup/7|USUM}} Selene is native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] and currently resides in Alola's {{rt|1|alola}} in the [[Hau'oli City]] Outskirts, with her mother and {{p|Meowth}}. [[Professor Kukui]] considers him and Lillie to be Selene's neighbor.<ref>[[Professor Kukui]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"And that's how you met our new neighbor <player>, huh? He/She just got to Alola yesterday. Help him/her find his/her way around, yeah?"''</ref>

Selene, along with her male counterpart, Elio, and {{ga|Red}}, are the youngest core series protagonists with known ages at the time of being playable. Being at the age of eleven.

===Appearance===
[[File:Elio and Selene SM concept art.png|thumb|300px|left|Selene along side her male counterpart, Elio, in concept art for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Selene is an 11-year-old girl who's appearance changes based on [[trainer customization]]. The player can choose between 4 different preset default appearances, chooseing between Selene's hair, eye and skin color. These defaults otherwise are identical. These default appearances change based on Sun and Moon or Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In most media and her stock art, Selene uses the default second option to the left, having gray eyes and black hair with sideswept bangs.

;Pokémon Sun and Moon
Selene's hair is styled as a black chin-length bob with sideswept bangs. These bangs flow down to her chin and go around her neck. Her head is covered by a red-colored knit hat that ends with a flower shape with 5 petals, called a Casual Cap. This hat has a square-shaped [[Poké Ball]]-like shape on the front. Selene has round eyes that rest right below her bangs, having gray irises and two eye lashes on each eye. Her thin eyebrows match the color of her hair.

Selene's beige Flower-Print Top has large, open sleeves and a circular neck hole. The bottom ends in a knot. Throughout the top, there is a pattern with several pink and yellow flowers with green leaves. Selene wears a gray sleeveless tank top underneath her shirt. She wears green Casual Shorts, having two side pockets and one back pocket, the pant legs end at her thighs. Her white [[Z-Ring]] goes around her left wrist, however in some concept art she wears a green, blue and pink threaded wristband instead. Her Trekking Shoes are primarily black, with red soles that reach up to the toes in a zig-zag pattern, offering the look of a {{p|Litten}}. These shoes go around her ankles with red cuffs. She has yellow shoe laces. Selene's default Nylon Shoulder bag has a long black should strap that goes around her left shoulder, hanging the back on her right. The bag itself is shaped like a watermelon slice and has a white back, with a red front cover. The sides are black with a yellow bottom. The red front is outlined with white, the upper portion being thicker and three white dots are spaced out evenly around the bottom resembling "seeds." Her trial amulet hangs on the front side of the should strap.

;Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
[[File:Selene USUM original concept art.png|thumb|300px|right|Selene's concept art for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Her hair is retained from Sun and Moon.]]
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Selene keeps her black hair and sideswept bangs, however she has it styled in braided tails instead, which fall over her shoulders. This hair style does not appear in her Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon concept art, however concept art illustrating this new hair style was publicly revealed. Her hat is replaced with a Vacation Hat, a large straw sun hat with a red hibiscus flower on the side of it tied together with a green ribbon. She wears an orange Vacation Top. This top goes around Selene's upper body with a singular white strap going around her neck. The hem is shaped like a flower with 8 petals sitting snug around her waist. The top itself has a red hibiscus flower pattern. Selene's white Vacation Shorts are puffy and end at her thighs, offering two pockets are are buttoned up at the front. Her Black [[Z-Power Ring]] goes around her left wrist. Her Vacation Sandals have black soles that go around her toes, with several white and green straps goign across her feet up past her ankles. Selene's Vacation Bag is similar to her Nylon Bag in Sun and Moon, having a long black should strap that goes around her left shoulder, hanging the back on her right. The bag itself is still shaped like a watermelon slice, however, this bag now has a pale yellow back and a yellow bottom, with the black remaining on the sides. The front has a darker yellow top and a paler yellow bottom, being separated by two yellow line strokes, resembling a Poké Ball. Once again, her trial amulet hangs on the front side of the strap.

====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb:''' "''You will choose to be a hero or heroine in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, and you can name yourself whatever you'd like. The story begins right after your character has moved to the Alola region. No sooner have you arrived than your adventures begin to unfold, and you'll meet many people and Pokémon as you grow and learn.''"

Selene is an 11-year-old girl who recently moved from the [[Kanto]] [[region]] to [[Melemele Island]] in the [[Alola]] region. She moved to the region along with her {{al|Mom|mother}}. Selene exclusively appears as a [[player character]].

====Start of the island challenge====
Selene begins her adventure when [[Professor Kukui]] asks to see her. After grabbing her bag and hat, she walks with the professor to [[Iki Town]] to receive her [[starter Pokémon]] from the island's [[island kahuna|kahuna]], [[Hala]]. Mistaking the young girl for the kahuna, she runs into [[Lillie]], who's {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], has escaped her bag and gets attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an [[Mahalo Trail|unsteady plank bridge]]. She quickly protects the Pokémon despite not having one of her own. After the bridge collapses, the island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two from falling. Selene quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town for Selene to choose her first Pokémon. After doing so, she gives the [[Sparkling Stone]] to Hala, receives a [[Pokédex]] from the professor, and meets [[Hau]], a [[rival]] who she befriends and has battles with often. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Selene how to become a proper Trainer. She battles Hau once again and is given a [[Z-Ring]] by Kahuna Hala, officially starting her [[island challenge]]. Professor Kukui then updates her Pokédex to the [[Rotom Pokédex]] with a Pokémon by the name of {{p|Rotom}}, who becomes a new friend and mentor for the young trainer. After Lillie and Kukui describe the functions of Rotom Dex, Hau comes into the Pokémon Research Lab and the three learn more about their [[island challenge]]. Selene then sets out to Alola's {{al|Trainers' School}} with Lillie, who helps helps care for and teach Selene about her Pokémon. Selene gets called to the principal's office (to which Lillie and Rotom jokingly tease her for) and graduates from the school. Selene begins Walking to [[Hau'oli City]] with her new friends, discussing island life and the upcoming city. As soon as they get to the new city, the three explore the island, and Hau drags Selene to the tourist bureau to upgrade Rotom Dex. After which, Selene takes a group picture with Hau and Lillie using the new function. While on her island challenge through Melemele, Selene runs into the troublesome [[Team Skull]], a group of hooligans harassing people and interfering with the island life. She clears her first trial with [[Ilima]] and gets taught how to use [[Z-Move]]s from the professor. After finding Nebby who is lost in [[Melemele Meadow]], Selene defeats Hala in her first grand trial and travels with Lillie, Hau and Kukui to the island of Akala to proceed her island challenge.

====Trials on Akala Island====
On [[Akala Island]], Selene is asked by Lillie, who is currently staying at [[Heahea City]], to help her finding more about and protecting Nebby. On her island challenge, Selene runs into another rival, Team Skull's [[Gladion]], who seems to be berating Hau for how he battles and his strength. Selene defeats the Team Skull enforcer, and goes on with her island challenge, accomplishing [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]] and [[Mallow]]'s trials. Along the way, selene visits [[Royal Avenue]], where she meets with [[Hapu]], a young Pokémon Trainer going on a small journey herself and [[Professor Kukui|The Masked Royal]], a masked wrestler who shows her how to perform in [[Battle Royal]]s at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], as well as [[Colress]], a scientist, on {{rt|8|alola}}. Selene makes her way back down to Heahea's Dimensional Research Lab ran by Kukui's wife, [[Professor Burnet]] to learn about her research on [[dimension]]s. Going through [[Diglett's Tunnel]], Selene remeets with Kahuna [[Olivia]] who agrees to do a grand trial with Selene. During their travels on {{rt|9|alola}}, they meet with [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]], after helping the organization with a problem, asks to meet them at the [[Hano Grand Resort]]. Selene faces off against Olivia in a grand trial, with the nearby Lillie and Nebby enjoying the battle. Hau informs Selene about their meet with Faba, to which Lillie declines. Faba brings both Hau and Selene on a tour of [[Aether Paradise]]. There, the duo meets [[Wicke]] and the company's president, [[Lusamine]], who explains her goals of protecting Pokémon. Selene protects Lusamine from a then {{p|Nihilego|unknown}} Pokémon called an [[Ultra Beast]], reaching the artificial island through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Under the guidance of Wicke, they are sent to [[Ula'ula Island]] and regroup with Professor Kukui and Lillie after the dangerous events that took place.

====Ula'ula Island====
Selene continues her island challenge, she is informed by Lillie to visit the professor the [[Malie Garden]] and come back. Lillie requests help with research at the [[Malie Library]]. There, Selene meets with Hapu again and is given access to a book in the library by a [[Trial Captain]], [[Acerola]]. After reading The Light of Alola, Selene rides the Exeggutor Express traveling up to [[Mount Hokulani]]'s [[Hokulani Observatory|observatory]] and she learns from Professor Kukui about the now developing {{al|Pokémon League}}. Returning to Malie Garden, Selene runs into [[Guzma]], Team Skull's Boss who thinks the Pokémon League and island challenge is unnecessary. Noticing her Z-Ring, Guzma picks a fight with Selene and shows him her strength. Selene regroups with Hau and travels down to [[Tapu Village]] to stay at [[Aether House]]. Along the way, they run into Gladion once more, who aggressively tells the two to protect Cosmog at all costs if they know anything about it. Lillie gets attacked by two [[Team Skull Grunt]]s after breaking away from Acerola and Hapu, to which Selene jumps in and protects the lady. After finishing her sixth trial with Acerola, Selene sets out to [[Po Town]], Team Skull's base, to rescue a {{p|Yungoos}} who was living at the orphanage. This turns out to be a scheme conducted by Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]], who Selene has fought before, kidnapping Lillie and Nebby and brings them to Aether Paradise. Overhearing the conversation, Gladion forces Selene and Hau to come with him to the facility with certain that Lillie is there.

====Rescue at Aether Paradise====
The now hostile Aether Foundation attempts to prevent the group from finding out about information on Cosmog and Lillie. Selene goes to Aether's Secret Lab B, and learns more about Cosmog, it's origins, and professor [[Mohn]]. Regrouping with Hau and Gladion, Selene takes down Team Skull and rematching their leader once more before reaching the mansion where Lillie and Lusamine are kept. Selene finds out that the President of the Aether Foundation, is in fact the mother of both Lillie and Gladion; and has an obsession with Ultra Beasts. Lillie insists to her mother that Nebby will [[Death in the Pokémon World|die]] if their power is misused. It is revealed Lusamine had ended up kidnapping Nebby, containing the Pokémon in a cage and been using its powers to unleash hordes of Ultra Beasts across the Alola region, ending with both her and Guzma traveling to [[Ultra Space]] after a battle. This process has caused Nebby to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Cosmoem}} (although none of them seem to be aware of this). Under the guidance of Wicke, they stay at Aether Paradise for the night and the next day the group splits off, with Gladion giving Lillie the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|M}}.

====Poni Island====
With newfound courage, Selene and Lillie travel to [[Poni Island]]'s [[Seafolk Village]] to search for a way to find Lusamine and save Nebby. The two meet up with Hapu for the third time, and brings them to the [[Ruins of Hope]], watching her become the kahuna of Poni Island. Hapu tells them of a second flute, and a ritual to be performed on top of Poni's Altar. After a small journey through [[Exeggutor Island]], Selene grabs the counterpart of Lillie's flute and is met with Plumeria and Team Skull at [[Ancient Poni Path]], telling them to help Guzma. Selene finishes her last grand trial with Hapu, with the group of three proceeding through [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. At the end of the canyon, Selene completes the last of her seven trials, and is met with the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} where she and Lillie perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the book in Malie: {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, who takes them to [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]]. Selene confronts and defeats Lusamine, who berates her for helping and befriending Lillie, and they're brought back to Alola by Nebby.

====Ending====
[[File:SM Ending Screen Female Default.png|thumb|300px|right|Selene and her friends]]
Nebby wishes to come with Selene and Lillie on more adventures, but Lillie insists on Selene catching Nebby, saying that she will be Nebby's mother now. Lillie says goodbye after Selene has caught Nebby. After {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Nebby, Selene is brought back to Tapu Village by [[Nanu]] and climbs to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] to take on Alola's newly established Pokémon League and [[Elite Four]]. Her strength is tested by both Hau and Gladion, with words of good luck from Lillie before hand. After defeating the Elite Four, Selene is challenged by one person, the League's founder, Professor Kukui, ending in a win for Selene who is then declared as the first-ever {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. During the subsequent celebration in [[Iki Town]], Lillie takes Selene to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], where the newly crowned Champion faces Tapu Koko in battle in thanks for saving her and Nebby on Mahalo Trail. Lillie and Selene are then brought back to the festival and enjoy themselves. Lillie intends to tell Selene something, but gets stopped. The following day, Hau tells Selene of an emergency and that they need to go to the Marina in Hau'oli immediately. It turns out that Lillie is leaving Alola to go to Kanto, and Selene has to say goodbye. After seeing her friend leave, Professor Kukui brings Selene back home.

Selene appears in the credits on a photo on the end screen, a photo that she, Hau and Lillie all took at Hau'oli City from the start of their journey. This photo is a part of an animated sequence. This sequence has a package sitting next to Lillie's pink rucksack. The contents of this package include the photo (among many others) that Selene, Hau and Lillie took at Hau'oli City; Selene's trial amulet, and a letter to Lillie. A quote, "''Everyone's smiles shine so brightly. Those smiles led us to so many other people. And those meetings will lead us to a bright future. I'm so glad I got to meet everyone. I'm so glad I got to meet you.''" is displayed over an image of Lillie and Nebby before this sequence, it can be assumed that she is either talking about the player or Nebby. It is implied that Selene had taken all the other pictures found in the package.

====Post-game====
At the start of the day, Hau informs Selene of his victory with Hala, and gives her the two remaining Z-Crystals of the starters. Selene is then contacted by [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]] of the [[International Police]], who request her help in catching the Ultra Beasts unleashed into Alola due to Lusamine's actions. Selene agrees to this, successfully catching all the Ultra Beasts roaming around Alola. While learning about the Ultra Beasts, Selene soon finds out that she may be a [[Faller]], a person who has gone through Ultra Wormholes and were bathed in tremendous amounts of [[Z-Power]].

Selene eventually finds her way through the rest of Poni Island, gaining access to a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Evolution]] from a revisit with [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]], who she has met in Heahea City. At the end of Poni Island, she encounters the [[Battle Tree]] and meets {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}}, the Battle Tree's [[Battle Legend]]s.

At Aether Paradise, Selene meets up with Gladion, who is now the acting president of the Aether Foundation. Gladion thanks Selene for her help with his family, especially with Lillie, claiming that Lillie has never smiled so happily since she met Selene. Gladion rewards them with a {{p|Type: Null}}, and says he is looking forward to Alola's strong Champion.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
The story of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are simuilar to that of Sun and Moon, but has a drastic change in detials, with the start being restructured and the events on Poni Island being recontextualized.
====Background and pre-game====
Selene is an 11-year-old girl who moved from Kanto to Alola with her mother. Sometime before her move to Alola, she has met [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], and got a signed [[Autograph]] from him. She put this autograph on a pedestal in her room. Her story in these games is very similar to that of Sun and Moon, however her interactions with other characters and events are different. Like in Sun and Moon, she is exclusively a playable character.

====Start of the island challenge====
Selene begins her adventure immediately after her arrival in Alola, being told to meet [[Professor Kukui]] on Alola's {{rt|1|Alola}}. She meets with the professor on her way to [[Iki Town]] and gets stopped by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Yungoos}}. At this point, three Pokémon, a {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} appear to help the new Trainer out. Kukui allows Selene to pick one of these three to learn the basics of being a trainer. After the commotion, the two leave to Iki Town, where she meets and be[[friend]]s a young boy named [[Hau]], who she will have rivalry with on their journey. The two begin a battle, the first of many, followed by Kukui asking Selene to go find the island [[kahuna]]. Selene then finds a mysterious young girl, [[Lillie]] and mistakes her for the kahuna. Lillie appears to be struggling to get across a plank bridge due to a fear of heights, and {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], has escaped her bag. Nebby gets attacked by wild {{p|Spearow}} on the [[Mahalo Trail|unsteady plank bridge]]. Selene quickly protects the Pokémon and battles one of the Spearow with her newly obtained starter Pokémon. Nebby uses its power and causes the bridge to collapse while in Selene's grasp, and causes them to fall. The island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves both Selene and Nebby, placing them back down in front of Lillie and providing Selene with a [[Sparkling Stone]]. Selene quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town. After doing so, she gives the Sparkling Stone to [[Hala]], and receives a [[Pokédex]] from the professor. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Selene how to become a proper Trainer, battling other Trainers on their way back to Iki Town. She battles Hau once again and is given a [[Z-Power Ring]] by Kahuna Hala, officially starting her [[island challenge]].

During her travels, Selene encounters a group of strange pale people known as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who are later revealed to be working with the [[Aether Foundation]]. When Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped, Selene follows them and finds out that Lillie's mother [[Lusamine]] is seeking to travel to Ultra Recon Squad's home world to stop a Pokémon known as {{ga|Necrozma}} before it can threaten Alola. She successfully uses Nebby's powers to travel to this alternate world, leaving Lillie and Selene to figure out how to follow her. They travel to Poni Island and perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}}. However, before Selene and Lillie can go after Lusamine, she's suddenly thrown out of an Ultra Wormhole before them, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma proceeds to battle and absorb Nebby, before traveling back to Ultra Space. With the Ultra Recon Squad's help, Selene travels to their home world of [[Ultra Megalopolis]], where she defeats Necrozma once again and saves Nebby.

After completing her last island challenge trial, Selene climbs Mount Lanakila to reach the newly established Pokémon League at its summit, re-encountering Necrozma along the way. After Selene has defeated the brand-new Alola Elite Four, Professor Kukui arrives and presents Hau as her final challenge before she can claim the championship. Selene successfully defeats Hau one last time, making her the first Champion of Alola.

Later, Selene assists the Ultra Recon Squad in catching some Ultra Beasts roaming around Poni Island. But no sooner has she returned home that she learns of an evil organization called [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] appearing in the region. The team takes over Aether Paradise, sets up [[Team Rocket's Castle|their base]] on it, and kidnaps Lusamine. Selene storms the base and takes down the members of Team Rainbow Rocket, including their leader, [[Giovanni]], saving Lusamine and making Team Rainbow Rocket leave Alola.

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Selene can have up to all 802{{sup/7|SM}}/807{{sup/7|USUM}} Pokémon available in the Alola games. She makes no NPC roles.

Due to being the player character, Selene is required to pick between {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} as her first partner Pokémon in both Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In the original Sun and Moon titles, Selene is required to capture [[Nebby]] at [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar. A Battle against a wild [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Exeggutor}} on [[Exeggutor Island]] is required to be fought in the plot but is not required to be captured. In Sun and Moon, Selene is also required to take part in battle against {{p|Tapu Koko}}, while not required to be caught, Lillie will offer unique dialogue upon capturing. In Sun and Moon's post adventure Selene is tasked to capture 5 of the 7 [[Ultra Beast]]s that appear.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lillie with Nebby, will appear on [[Mahalo Trail]] in the post-game, Nebby as either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} will be fought and required to be caught if the event is activated. Selene is required to catch either two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} under some orders of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

'''Nate''' (Japanese: '''キョウヘイ''' ''Kyouhei'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Rosa}}.

==Terminology==
The name '''Nate''' (Japanese: '''キョウヘイ''' ''Kyouhei'') is used in-game when he appears as a non-player character.

Prior to the release of {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, pre-release media referred to Nate as '''Black2'''.

==In the core series==
===As the protagonist===
Nate is a young boy living in [[Aspertia City]] with his childhood friend [[Hugh]]. At the start of the game, he sets off with Hugh to collect his first Pokémon. They then go their separate ways, and he starts his {{pkmn|journey}} across the [[Unova]] region.

====Rental Pokémon in [[Pokéstar Studios]]====
:''For all rental teams used by the player at Pokéstar Studios, see [[Nate (game)/Pokéstar Studios|here]].''

===As a non-playable character===
If the player chooses {{ga|Rosa}}, Nate will appear in-game as an NPC, first met in [[Nimbasa City]]. He will join the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Emmet]] and [[Ingo]]. Afterwards, he will give the player the [[Vs. Recorder]].

Nate will then appear as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants him to base his team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Nate's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

'''Zinnia''' (Japanese: '''ヒガナ''' ''Higana'') is a mysterious [[Draconid people|Draconid woman]] and a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Hoenn]]. She is described as a special person who holds the key to the [[Delta Episode]] in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, on a trip to accomplish her objectives.

Zinnia uses {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in battle, including a {{p|Salamence}} she can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into {{me|Salamence}} using her [[Key Stone|Mega Anklet]]. She also travels with a female {{p|Whismur}} [[nickname]]d '''Aster''' (Japanese: '''シガナ''' ''Shigana''). She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Lorekeeper''' (Japanese: '''でんしょうしゃ''' ''Lorekeeper'').

==In the core series games==
Zinnia makes three cameo appearances prior to the Delta Episode, disguised as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}}. She is first seen after the {{player}} exits [[Petalburg Woods]] on the way to [[Rustboro City]]. Her second appearance is on [[Mount Chimney]], where she is fighting against Archie{{sup/6|OR}} or Maxie{{sup/6|AS}} and tries to stop him before he arrives to Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}}. Her third appearance is during the montage cutscene in [[Mossdeep City]] after the player saves Hoenn from [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

After the player defeats {{Steven}} and becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, Zinnia is shown in a cutscene discarding her team's uniform. She then meets the player at their home before breaking into [[Professor Birch]]'s home and stealing {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}'s [[Key Stone]]. Later, when the player visits [[Granite Cave]] looking for a [[Meteorite Shard]] on Steven's request, she appears studying the cave's ancient painting. After a short conversation, Zinnia asks to battle with the player.

At the [[Meteor Falls]], while looking for a Meteorite Shard, the player and Steven learn from an old Draconid woman that Zinnia joined Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and manipulated them in the hopes of having Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} resurrected in order to call {{p|Rayquaza}} back to the {{pkmn|world}} to destroy the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]], being fully aware of the fact that her actions would risk the lives of many [[human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. However, as the player had managed to stop the super-ancient Pokémon, she had been forced to change her plan.

Zinnia makes another appearance at [[Mossdeep Space Center]], listening in on [[Professor Cozmo]]'s plan to send the oncoming meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another dimension]] using technology powered by the Meteorite Shards. Believing this plan will doom the world of another dimension to destruction, she destroys the device, then steals the Key Stone from the head of the team she had joined and challenges the player to meet her at the [[Sky Pillar]].

After the player secures permission to enter the Sky Pillar from [[Wallace]], Zinnia explains the lore of the Draconids as they ascend the tower together. At the top floor, she uses the stolen Key Stones to summon Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar, but her plan fails when Rayquaza does not Mega Evolve despite her efforts. Just as she falls into despair, the Meteorite the player has been carrying for much of the game activates and is consumed by Rayquaza, granting it its missing power. Once the player has captured Rayquaza and added it to their party, Zinnia teaches it {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, then challenges the player to one last battle (which the player does not need to win to progress).

Once the player has gone into space with Mega Rayquaza, destroyed the meteoroid and battled {{p|Deoxys}}, Zinnia disappears from the Sky Pillar. She leaves behind a note with Aster thanking the player for their help. Later at Meteor Falls, her grandmother tells her that she should find her own purpose in life now that she is freed from her lifelong duty. She agrees and leaves her Salamencite with the player before departing. Zinnia's whereabouts after this point are unknown.

Aster seems to have been named after someone close to Zinnia who has passed away. According to an interview with [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in the June 2015 issue of Nintendo Dream, [[Aster]] was a person with special powers who held the position of Lorekeeper before Zinnia.<ref>[https://twitter.com/karubiimunomono/status/590395802226266112 Scans of interview in Nintendo Dream June 2015]</ref>

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Zinnia appeared in ''[[PE06|The Wish]]'', where she met {{ga|May}} at the [[Sky Pillar]] and told her the lore of the [[Draconid people]]. At the top of the tower, Zinnia summoned {{p|Rayquaza}} in order to destroy the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteorite]] that was threatening [[Hoenn]]. However, Rayquaza lacked the energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], causing Zinnia to fall into despair. Thanks to May's [[Meteorite]], however, Rayquaza was able to regain the energy it required for Mega Evolution. Zinnia then allowed May to take her place in battling and {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Rayquaza, a role that Zinnia had prepared herself for since childhood. Following this, Zinnia challenged May to a {{pkmn|battle}} as her final duty as the Lorekeeper of the Draconid people.

[[File:Draconids Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Zinnia in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
====Prior to {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Zinnia was a member of the Draconid people and, like the rest, greatly admired Lorekeeper Aster. When Aster was killed during Devon's attempt to capture and subdue Rayquaza, Zinnia swore vengeance against the company and was later appointed as Aster's successor by the village elder. Most of the Draconid people, however, still mourning Aster and seeing Zinnia mixing her own agendas with the role, did not truly acknowledge her. As the prophecy of another great meteor was near, Zinnia became desperate and first sent her Salamance to the facility holding Rayquaza. Although it had the hiccup of attacking and being beaten by Ruby, Salamence was nonetheless able to accomplish its mission, and Rayquaza was released from the Pokémon Association's grip. Next, she intended to bring out both {{P|Kyogre}} and {{P|Groudon}} in order to lure out Rayquaza, so she could bond with it. To do so, she infiltrated [[Team Magma]] and tipped [[Maxie]] of the Blue and Red Orbs before departing. Unfortunately for her, Rayquaza would instead soar with Norman and Ruby temporarily in order to stop the catastrophic battle between the legendary Pokémon.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Zinnia debuts in this chapter. She is first encountered at the [[Sky Pillar]], where she meets {{adv|Ruby}} as he attempts to ascend it alongside {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}}. Believing him to be an intruder, Zinnia attacks Ruby with her {{p|Salamence}}. Ruby manages to get the upper hand by tricking Zinnia's {{p|Whismur}}, Aster, with Pokéblocks, allowing him to pin Zinnia to the ground when she noticed Aster running off. He then demands to know who Zinnia is and what she knows about the upcoming crisis threatening to destroy Hoenn. Zinnia refuses to answer and escapes Ruby's grasp. She then uses her Mega Anklet to Mega Evolve her Salamence into a Mega Salamence. Ruby counters by Mega Evolving Latios into a Mega Latios with his [[Mega Bracelet]]. Ruby eventually manages to defeat Zinnia's Salamence, and reveals that he's aware that he encountered it before.

Zinnia realizes that the person who defeated her Salamence years ago in her attempt to free Rayquaza from the [[Pokémon Association]] must have actually been Ruby all along. She congratulates Ruby for his battling skills and agrees to tell him everything she knows. She reveals that in nine days time, a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] will hit the planet, destroying it and its inhabitants. Zinnia also reveals her hatred for the Devon Corporation due to its choice in using science and technology to prevent the meteoroid from falling. As she prepares to leave to focus on her mission to stop the meteoroid, Zinnia thanks Ruby for his assistance in freeing Rayquaza and flies off. Later, she muses over the fact that Ruby received his Mega Bracelet from Steven Stone, the son of the Devon Corporation's president and angrily wonders where Devon got [[Key Stone]]s from.
[[File:Team Magma Zinnia Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|Zinnia as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}]]
Later, Zinnia arrives at [[Sea Mauville]] with several Team Aqua and Team Magma Grunts. She finds [[Mr. Stone]] using the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] to drain the life energy of {{adv|Sapphire}}'s [[Chic]] and {{adv|Emerald}}'s [[Emerald's Sceptile|Sceptile]] in their Mega-Evolved states to power a machine that will be able to warp the meteoroid away. She reveals that she had spied on Team Magma and Team Aqua during their attempts to awaken Groudon and Kyogre and made allies with several of the Grunts of both teams. She and the Grunts attack everyone to steal the dimensional shifter that Mr. Stone was powering with Chic and Sceptile's life energy. Sapphire takes the dimensional shifter and attempts to run away, but Zinnia manages to take her Mega Bracelet with the Key Stone still inside. Zinnia then decides to go after Steven's Key Stone next and begins attacking him. Just as Zinnia gets the advantage in battle, Ruby arrives with his Mega {{p|Swampert}} [[Mumu]] and asks everyone to stop fighting.

Ruby then begins battling Zinnia. After being told by the Grunts that Sapphire had disappeared with the dimensional shifter, Zinnia decides to retreat. Before leaving, Zinnia attacks Steven in an attempt to take his Key Stone. She is stopped again by Ruby, who offers up his and Emerald's Mega Bracelets to Zinnia to convince her to leave. Zinnia accepts the bribe and leaves, but Ruby reveals he secretly stole a scroll when Zinnia wasn't looking.

At Mossdeep City, Zinnia finds the dimensional shifter outfitted inside a rocket that is in the process of being launched into space. She is attacked by Sapphire, who attempts to stop Zinnia from interfering with the launch. Zinnia is assisted by her Team Magma and Team Aqua allies, who battle Sapphire while Zinnia goes off to stop the rocket, which has already been launched. Sapphire evades her opponents and follows Zinnia onto the rocket, where they battle once more. Zinnia eventually defeats Sapphire by knocking her off of the rocket, giving Zinnia the opportunity to destroy the shifter and the rocket.

At {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, Zinnia finds Ruby and Sapphire riding on top of Rayquaza after successfully befriending it. Angered that they managed to get Rayquaza, Zinnia challenges the two to a battle while wearing a second Mega Anklet. By teaming up with Aster's {{p|Noivern}}, Zinnia manages to lure Rayquaza away from Ruby and Sapphire. Upon getting away, Zinnia reveals to Rayquaza about her attempts to free it from the Pokémon Association's control and asks it to join her in destroying the meteoroid. Rayquaza rejects Zinnia's request, impales her with its tail, and blasts her away in a rage.

Zinnia later awakens in Sootopolis City, having been rescued by {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}}. Mr. Stone attempts to apologize to Zinnia about the trouble he caused in attempting to control Rayquaza. Zinnia rejects Mr. Stone's apology and claims that he is only trying to save face for his failures. Now brought to tears, Zinnia gives up and claims that her villagers were right to believe she wasn't strong enough to save the planet in Aster's stead. This angers Emerald, who claims that they shouldn't give up and there must still be something they can do to save the planet.

When asked why only Draconids are allowed to ride with Rayquaza, Zinnia reveals that the plan to stop the meteoroid is essentially a suicide mission. Due to Rayquaza constantly emitting poisonous ozone when in space, the Lorekeeper would not survive the attack. After hearing Zinnia's explanation, Mr. Stone and Steven get the idea to find a way to protect the person riding on Rayquaza with a special suit. Later, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald have their various allies from around Hoenn travel to Sootopolis to assist in stopping the meteoroid. There, Steven presents Zinnia with a jar of Key Stones belonging to Aster collected from the Embedded Tower. When Zinnia speculates that Steven took some Key Stones for himself, Steven explains that he received his Key Stone from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in Kalos. Although happy that she has the Key Stones needed to bond with Rayquaza, Zinnia collapses from her injuries. She is later seen in a bed and then placed in a wheelchair until she has fully healed. Ruby and Sapphire forgive her for her wrongdoings, with Sapphire promising that they can talk, get to know each other and become friends later.

** Ash's age was mentioned in [[EP001|the very first episode]] of the anime, as well as [[BW|the first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''.

** Ash, Goh, and Chloe's character profiles (in Japanese) mentioned their ages as of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200905123936/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/tv_movie/anime/ アニメ「ポケットモンスター」 - Pokémon.co.tv (archived)]</ref>
** At some points, it has been suggested that at least one year has passed since Ash started his [[Pokémon journey]]. However, those events did not affect Ash's age since he still remained 10 years old in the anime episodes set after those events.
*** In the English version of ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash mentions that it has been a year since he visited [[Viridian City]]. However, this remark was not present in the Japanese version.
*** It is implied that at least one year passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' since the [[Magnet Train]] would take one year to be completed.
* [[Forrest]], the rest of [[Brock's siblings]], {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Parker]] are younger than 10 years old.
* [[Max]] is 7 years old.
* [[Paul]] is 11 years old.
* {{an|Brock}} is 15 years old.
** His age is mentioned in [[:File:Brock face OS concept art.png|concept art]].
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are 25 years old as of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. However, Jessie later had a birthday sometime between ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'' and ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', making her 26 years old as of XY.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to get focused on romance while James adds that he and Jessie are 5 years older than that.
** In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', {{p|Necrozma}}'s aura causes all the adults to feel lazy and lethargic, with no effect on children and teenagers. This affects Jessie and James, confirming that they are adults.
** More details about Jessie:
*** In ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', Jessie mentions that {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo|Gourgeist}} was the only one who remembered her [[birthday]], which happened some time after she [[XY011|caught]] her.
*** [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] radio drama has a flashback twenty years before the present time, when Jessie was a young child. This indicates that Jessie is currently older than 20 years old.
*** In the English version of ''[[EP218|Plant It Now... Diglett Later]]'', when an old woman says that she is 120 years old, Jessie claims that that's "ten times [her] age!", which would make Jessie 12 years old. However, after hearing this, {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}} responds "Where did you get that math?", which indicates that this age is not accurate.
**** In the Japanese version of this dialogue, once the old woman says that she is 120 years old, Jessie states that this is "''more'' than ten times" her age, which would make Jessie younger than 12 years old. However, Meowth replies with "More than ten times is exaggerating!", which indicates that Jessie is in fact either 12 years or older.
**** If Jessie lied about her age to appear younger, this may be related to the fact that she often hates to be called an "old hag".
*** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', Jessie falsely claims to be a 17-year-old idol (in Japanese) or diva (in English) as part of her disguise.
** More details about James:
*** In the English version of ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'', when James is driving a car and Jessie compliments him by saying "Nice driving!", he replies with "I should get a license." This may imply that James is old enough to get a license. However, the line about getting a license is not present in the Japanese version. The minimum age to get a driving license in the anime is not known, although it is explicitly said to be [[Pokémon world (PMTA)#Adulthood|10 years old]] in the [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]] novels.

'''Kieran''' (Japanese: '''スグリ''' ''Suguri'') is a [[rival]] character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He lives in [[Kitakami]] with his older sister, [[Carmine]]. He has a quiet, gentle nature, and often hides behind his big sister. He seems to be curious about the [[player]], though, when they arrive from the [[Paldea]] [[region]].<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_characters/</ref> He is a student attending [[Blueberry Academy]].

He is nicknamed '''Kiki''' (Japanese: '''スグ''' ''Sugu'') by his sister.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
Kieran is a student of [[Blueberry Academy]] native to [[Kitakami]]. He and Carmine are chosen to accompany the incoming students from [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} on a cultural tour of the area. Kieran is paired up with the [[player character]], and accompanies them around Kitakami as they search for three signposts that tell the story of how the [[Loyal Three]] laid down their lives to protect the land from the evil {{p|Ogerpon}}. During this time, Kieran admits that he actually admires Ogerpon for her strength and independence.

{{spoilers}}
At the end of the first day in Kitakami, the player, Carmine, and Kieran attend the [[Festival of Masks]]. The player and Carmine have a chance encounter with Ogerpon, who flees and drops her Teal Mask. Carmine decides to keep this incident from Kieran, fearing that the knowledge he missed a chance to meet his idol would break his heart. The next day, the player and Carmine learn from the siblings' grandfather that the "Loyal" Three were actually a group of bandits who attacked Ogerpon's Trainer and stole three masks made for her by the siblings' distant ancestor; Ogerpon slew the Lousy Three, but the villagers believed she was attacking them and came to fear her. Unbeknownst to them, Kieran overhears their conversation and concludes that they are excluding him out of contempt. While the player and Carmine search for materials to repair the Teal Mask, Kieran steals the mask, accuses them of treating him like an outcast, and demands the player defeat him in a battle to reclaim the mask.

After the player defeats Kieran, he surrenders the mask as agreed. However, the Lousy Three unexpectedly come back to life and are given food and Ogerpon's stolen masks by the ignorant villagers. While the player, Carmine, and Ogerpon pursue and defeat the Lousy Three, Kieran convinces the villagers that the old legend was mistaken and that Ogerpon was innocent all along. With Ogerpon's reputation rehabilitated, the group returns to Ogerpon's mountain home, where Ogerpon chooses the player to be her Trainer. However, a jealous Kieran demands a final battle with the player for the right to take Ogerpon, irrespective of Ogerpon's wishes. The player defeats Kieran, who watches them catch Ogerpon before fleeing home, locking himself in his room, and refusing to come out or see the player off.

After the end of the tour, Kieran and Carmine are to return early to Blueberry due to an unexpected development in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. Kieran, now consumed by his resentment towards the player and obsession with strength, vows to become even stronger and ominously declares, "Just you wait" to the player.

==Trivia==
* Carmine's nickname for Kieran, "Kiki", is also the nickname of [[Kiki|a particular]] {{p|Delcatty}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* When Kieran punches the [[Loyal Three]]'s shrine after his third battle, a purple mist can be briefly seen in his fist, implying the trio's revival may have something to do with Kieran himself.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]], more specifically part of a [[Team Rocket trio|trio]] with [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
[[File:Jessie Nurse School.png|thumb|220px|Jessie at the Pokémon Nurse School]]
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking [[Team Rocket]] agent. When Jessie was around the age of five, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of food, but she revealed in ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' that the "snowgasboard" meals were one of her few happy childhood memories.

In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with, named [[Astin]], who was leaving to become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], and who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]]. She refused to go with him because she and two friends were training to become pop idols. Unfortunately, while her two friends passed, Jessie's audition didn't go well and her idol dreams were quashed.
[[File:Chainer Jessie.png|thumb|220px|left|Jessie as "Chainer Jessie" when she was part of the bridge bike gang]]
When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse. However, she was unable to go to a regular nursing school and went to the [[Pokémon Nurse School]], which was intended for {{p|Chansey}}. She was quite skilled at things such as bandaging, and even showed [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|a Chansey]] how to do it. She quickly became good friends with that Chansey. However, because she was not a Chansey herself, Jessie couldn't do things like use {{m|Sing}} to soothe Pokémon, instead falling asleep herself. Ultimately, she failed to graduate, and on graduation day, she simply packed a bag and left. As she was leaving, Chansey came up to her and offered her her nurses' hat, but Jessie refused to take it. Chansey then broke her egg-shaped pendant she got as proof of graduating in half and gave one half to Jessie so that they would have something to remember each other by. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}.

In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', Jessie and [[James]] told {{MTR}} that while they were at the [[Pokémon Trainer]]s' school [[Pokémon Tech]], they both received the lowest scores in the history of the school. The school later brought back bad memories for both Jessie and James.

After this, as revealed in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunnytown]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nicknames "Big Jess" and "Chainer Jessie".

It was revealed in ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'' that she was supposedly a model at one point.

Upon arriving at [[Littleroot Town]]'s port in ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'', Jessie indicated that she had been to the town sometime before and referred to it as "the city whose colors will never change", though she didn't elaborate further. Her past connection to [[Hoenn]] was again hinted in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', when Jessie was revealed to have an expired Hoenn [[Contest Pass]].

Sometime before joining Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a TV station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja.

Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[HS12|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What is known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends. While Jessie and [[Cassidy]] quickly became bitter rivals, she had befriended trainee-hopeful {{OBP|Christopher|DP117}} and inspired him to pursue his ambitions outside of Team Rocket.

Team Rocket member {{OBP|Wendy|EP231}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink and instead made Wendy pay, but she got her revenge when later and added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.

=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|thumb|left|220px|Jessie and James's first appearance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Jessie made her debut in the anime in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. Alongside James and Meowth, they set their sights on the injured Pokémon in the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. Sending out their {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], they quickly overtook the Pokémon Center, which only had [[Nurse Joy]], {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} inside. Before they could steal any of the Pokémon, however, [[Ash's Pikachu]], who teamed up with many other {{p|Pikachu}} in the Pokémon Center, used an electric attack, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode. It was here that Team Rocket decided to capture Pikachu, deeming him as an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, and made it their goal to capture him.

In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', after hearing that Pikachu would fight to defend his own honor and Ash's, the trio were inspired to cheer on Pikachu before his rematch against {{gy|Vermilion}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}.

In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', the Team Rocket trio worked together with other {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s to steal the Pokémon of all the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s on board the [[S.S. Anne]]. Out on the open ocean, Team Rocket began taking the Pokémon of everyone by force. Ash led a counterattack against the Rockets, leading to a large battle and many of the members of Team Rocket being blasted off through the side of the ship. Afterwards, the S.S. Anne started taking on water and sunk, trapping Team Rocket, Ash, and his friends underwater. [[EP016|When the two groups met up]], they initially fought, but Misty took charge and directed all of them in an emergency escape plan before the ship fell into the depths of the sea floor. They eventually found an exit, with Team Rocket nearly drowning due to having to rely on [[James's Magikarp]] to swim them to safety. After getting stranded, Magikarp evolved into {{p|Gyarados}} and sent them all flying with a cyclone made from {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

In ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', Jessie entered the [[P1 Grand Prix]] after stealing {{OBP|Giant|EP029}}'s clothes and {{p|Hitmonlee}}. She used Giant's clothes as a disguise. She did not make it as Hitmonlee lost to {{AP|Primeape}}.
[[File:EP052.png|thumb|220px|Jessie in the Princess Festival]]
In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Jessie participated in the [[Princess Festival]]. She caught a {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} beforehand when it was caught stealing stuff from {{TRT}} with its tongue, claiming to deal with it later. Jessie competed in the contest of the Princess Festival but was eliminated by Misty despite her Lickitung nearly defeating the entirety of the team that Misty used.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', Jessie decided to take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] to see if she could enter the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] and add that achievement to her résumé. However, during the theory test, she rose from her seat and started to argue with [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|the instructor]], which led to her being expelled.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', Jessie, James, and Meowth were made the temporary [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Giovanni's place. Having rigged the platforms so that the Trainer feels the pain their Pokémon feels, they battled against Ash. Despite using Giovanni's Pokémon and cheating, they ultimately lost and were sent blasting off.

The Team Rocket trio [[EP081|continued to follow]] Ash to the [[Orange Islands]], where they were ordered by Giovanni to operate a blimp in an attempt to get rid of them. The three performed their duty as wait staff before realizing no one was piloting the blimp, and because of this it drifted straight into a storm. They then found Ash and friends and started a battle, which tore a hole in the blimp. Meowth attempted to make a parachute from some of the broken fabric, but {{an|Jigglypuff}} landed on top of it and{{m|Sing|sang a song}}. Meowth, unable to stay awake, let go of the fabric, causing the trio to fall into the ocean and drift away.

In ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'', she fought the [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]] with her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and single-handedly defeated them. When she, James, and Meowth were leaving the [[Wobbuffet Festival|festival]], they were caught with stolen food from the festival. Ash and his friends easily defeated them and got the food back.

In ''[[EP175|The Trouble with Snubbull]]'', Team Rocket first tried using Meowth as bait for a newly evolved {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Granbull}} so they could collect a reward from the Granbull's owner, [[Madame Muchmoney]]. This failed, and they subsequently used a Meowth-shaped mecha for their next attempt. Through a misunderstanding over Meowth trying to release Granbull from the mecha's tail, Team Rocket were mistakenly assumed to have tricked Madame Muchmoney. When Team Rocket was blasted off following a battle between the mecha and Granbull, Granbull returned home and no longer followed Meowth.

In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'', she wore an ancient mask and scepter belonging to a queen from a long time ago. Using the items, Jessie possessed some Pokémon that she chose except for {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} who was apparently unaffected. She was about to get away with the items but {{an|Brock}}'s newly evolved Crobat sliced the Dig-a-tron and separated her from the mask and scepter.

In ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', the Team Rocket trio learned they'd been disbanded from Team Rocket for unpaid dues. However, a [[Rocket Scout]] informed them she could get them back in if they prove themselves to her by defeating Ash and his friends. The three begged to borrow her {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} to help them, which she agreed to. Even with the support, they failed to complete the mission, but were reinstated anyway due to a labor shortage. Their signing bonus helped pay off their bills, but the Rocket Scout informed them Delibird would be following them to make sure it didn't happen again. By ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', Delibird stopped following them, satisfied with the money they earned during the [[Silver Conference]].

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|left|220px|As Jessebella]]
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|220px|As Jessadia]]
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every Contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. Although Jessie entered mostly every Contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals.

In the Kanto Contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as '''Jessebella''' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, May, and Max found out her true identity in the last Contest.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their machine. Team Rocket took advantage of this and tricked Pikachu into joining them. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash jumped on their balloon, and the trio ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt. This caused them to get blasted off, while Ash and Pikachu fell into a river. As Ash protected him, Pikachu managed to regain his memory and got rid of Team Rocket once again.

During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as '''Jessadia''' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like Jessadia's style, but recognized her talent.

In ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', Jessie entered [[Potpourri Island]]'s [[Pokémon Orienteering]] with {{MTR}} as her partner Pokémon. The duo had trouble finding the checkpoints and decided to drop out of the competition. They planned on letting [[James]] and his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} collect the five stamps, thinking James would share the sample of [[Berry|fruit]] prize with them. To assure James's victory, they dug several pitfall traps throughout the island so as to slow down the other contestants. When James was declared the winner, Jessie was certain she would get to eat some fruits. However, James was more interested in the Pokémon Teamwork Medal and he agreed to donate the fruits after [[Nurse Joy]] asked him to, much to Jessie's disappointment.

Jessie's odd Contest style caught the eye of [[Harley]], and they quickly struck up a friendship of sorts during the [[Mulberry City]] Contest. Harley was determined to sabotage May's chances of getting her final [[Ribbon]], and he subsequently paired up with Team Rocket, even giving Jessie his Pokémon to borrow for the event. Jessie lost to May in the final round, much to Harley's annoyance. Later, in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', Harley suggested that Jessie should accompany him to [[Johto]] to compete in Contests. She refused his offer, admitting that she was already committed to Team Rocket.

In ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'', following a failed attempt of getting Ash's Pikachu, Jessie separated with James and Meowth, and met up with [[Butch]]. Jessie went back with James and Meowth after Team Rocket were caught stealing a load of Poké Balls.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', {{an|Giovanni}} approved the trio's plans to set up Team Rocket in [[Sinnoh]].

[[File:Jessilina.png|thumb|220px|As Jessilina]]
In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', Jessie disguised herself as '''Jessilina''' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina'') in order to compete in the [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. When the results were announced in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'', it was shown that Jessie's performance had secured her a place in the second round, where she lost to [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} in the finals. The disguise adopted for the Jubilife Contest was used in every official Pokémon Contest Jessie entered in the Sinnoh [[region]] and the [[Hearthome Collection]] as well. As Jessilina, she would form an unfriendly [[Rival|rivalry]] with [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] throughout the entire Sinnoh Contest circuit.

After rescuing [[Ash's Aipom]] from falling off a cliff in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]]'', Jessie managed to persuade {{Ash}} to let her borrow Aipom for an informal Pokémon Contest that would be held in a small village as part of a festival. Jessie then decided to practice for the competition, asking Aipom to show off all of her moves. Jessie's {{pkmn|training}} session paid off as she easily advanced to the second round of the Contest, where she faced {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. During their battle, Jessie used a [[Contest combination]] to drop Dawn's points before commanding Aipom to attack Pachirisu with {{m|Focus Punch}}, which caused the {{type|Electric}} Pokémon to [[fainting|faint]], thereby eliminating Dawn from the Contest and giving Jessie her first Contest victory.

The trio were hired by [[Team Galactic]] to steal the [[Adamant Orb]] from the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''. Team Rocket successfully made the theft, framing [[Nando]] in the process, but ultimately failed to get away with the orb.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Jessie entered the {{to|Solaceon}} Contest with her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. Their performance left the three judges, [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], and [[Nurse Joy]], very impressed as {{pkmn|Coordinator}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} were in sync with one another. This secured Jessie a place in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]], where she quickly made her way to the finals. There, Jessie faced {{si|Kenny}} and his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} using her Dustox. She was able to win the battle by taking advantage of Kenny's techniques, having used Prinplup's [[move]]s to favor her Dustox. This victory gave Jessie her first {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'', the trio argued with Butch and Cassidy over who would steal a {{p|Hippowdon}}. Their constant bickering made it easy for Ash and his friends to save the Heavyweight Pokémon.

In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', Jessie was in the middle of a training session on the shores of a mountain lake when her Dustox got distracted and flew away. Jessie hurried after her and found her with a {{Shiny}} {{p|Dustox}} belonging to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Austin]]. Austin told Jessie about the Dustox Crossing, a time when Dustox gather at the lake and pair up before flying over [[Mt. Coronet]] towards the [[Dustox Flower Field]], where they start their families. After hearing this and noticing her Dustox's crush on Austin's Dustox, Jessie remembered her school days when she had a crush on a boy called [[Astin]]. One day, Astin decided to leave town to become a {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}} and invited Jessie to come along with him, but Jessie declined the offer. To this day, Jessie wonders how her life would have turned out if she had joined Astin in his {{pkmn|journey}}. Jessie was determined to prevent Dustox from making the same mistake, and decided to {{pkmn2|released|release}} her so she could take part in the Crossing with Austin's Dustox. When Dustox refused to leave, Jessie broke Dustox's {{i|Poké Ball}}, telling Dustox to go follow its heart. As Dustox fluttered off with her partner, Jessie remembered their time together before calling out to Dustox telling her to go fall in love with all of her heart and to do it for the both of them.

[[File:Jessilina and Wallace.png|thumb|left|220px|Jessilina meeting Wallace]]
In ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Jessie announced her plans to enter the [[Wallace Cup]] and said she would dedicate her performance to her released Dustox. She also decided to go looking for [[Wallace]], thinking that meeting Wallace would increase her chances of winning the special Pokémon Contest bearing his name. After finding him, she showed him her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} dressed up as a {{p|Milotic}} and asked him to award her some bonus points during the Wallace Cup. She later watched as Wallace delivered a performance with his Milotic, and asked him to teach {{m|Aqua Ring}} to her Seviper, but Wallace said Seviper could not learn the move.

When Jessie entered the Wallace Cup in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', she was counting on James and {{MTR}} to make sure she would be the one taking the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}} home, as she believed they had plotted a scheme for her to win the Solaceon Town Pokémon Contest. However, they admitted to her that they did not use any cheats back then and told her that she won the Solaceon Ribbon all by herself thanks to her skills as a Pokémon Coordinator. Later, Jessie used {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in the first round of the Wallace Cup. She started the performance by running towards Wobbuffet while he ran at her using {{m|Counter}}. When the two collided in the middle of the stage, Jessie was sent flying in the air. She then finished it off by landing on top of Wobbuffet's head, but failed to impress the panel of judges. For this reason, Jessie didn't make it past the Performance Stage. Jessie then reappeared in the Wallace Cup in her Contest announcer persona "Jessadia", interviewing Coordinators backstage.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Jessie found out a Pokémon Contest would be held in [[Majolica Town]] and decided to participate. After advancing to the second round, where she managed to defeat all of her opponents, Jessie won the prestigious Majolica Ribbon, her second Contest Ribbon overall.

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Jessie was determined to win her third Contest Ribbon. However, she was sick and unable to take part in the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest, so she persuaded James to go dressed as Jessilina and compete in her place. She watched the whole competition on television, in which James managed to defeat {{an|Dawn}} in the semifinals.

Jessie competed against several Coordinators in the [[Neighborly Town]] Pokémon Contest in ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]''. She made it through the Performance Stage and managed to defeat each one of her opponents in the Battle Stage, winning the event with the help of her Seviper and earning the Neighborly Ribbon, her fourth Contest Ribbon overall.

In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', Jessie entered the {{to|Arrowroot}} Contest hoping to win her fifth and final Ribbon. Not knowing that Dawn and [[Princess Salvia]] had switched places for the day, she was puzzled when she saw Dawn backstage, as Dawn had already completed her requirement to compete in the [[Grand Festival]]. During the first round, she delivered a performance that assured her progression to the Battle Stage. There, she quickly made her way to the finals, where she found herself up against a disguised Salvia. Using her Seviper against [[Dawn's Togekiss|Salvia's Togekiss]], Salvia was able to make a comeback after hearing some encouraging words from the real Dawn, defeating Jessie and earning the Arrowroot Ribbon. Later, Salvia approached Jessie backstage and gave her the Contest Ribbon as a token of gratitude for their battle in the finals. Jessie was confused and furious for receiving what she called a pity Ribbon. She was about to throw away the Ribbon but James convinced her to keep it so she could take part in the Grand Festival; as she had obtained her fifth Contest Ribbon fair and square, she was now qualified to compete.
[[File:Jessie in Grand Festival.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessilina in the Grand Festival]]
Jessie entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]''. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Jessie was among the 32 Coordinators advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s. In ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', she defeated her first opponent in the Battle Stage with the help of her Yanmega and Seviper. After advancing to the semifinals of the competition in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', she used her Seviper and Carnivine to face off against Dawn and her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Despite her efforts, she ended up losing the battle.

After her loss to Dawn, Jessie got furious as her dream of becoming {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}} was destroyed. Regardless, she told Dawn that since she had been defeated by her, she wouldn't forgive her for as long as she lived if Dawn didn't end up as Top Coordinator, thus showing that Jessie was rooting for Dawn despite the two being [[rival]]s. When Dawn lost to [[Zoey]] in the finals of the [[Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', Jessie was enraged and decided she was done with [[Pokémon Contest]]s. She then discarded her Jessilina costume before storming away. None of the main characters ever learned that Jessie and Jessilina were the same person.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Jessie BW anime.png|thumb|220px|Jessie in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'']]
In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Now wearing black uniforms instead of their previous white ones, Jessie and James, along with Meowth, followed various missions given to them by Giovanni through other people. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow their other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. Unbeknownst to the two, Giovanni was not certain that they would be successful; however, he sees that their presence in the region will force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves.

The trio completed multiple missions for Giovanni in the early episodes of this series, with their first mission coming in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''. After arriving in [[Striaton City]], Giovanni ordered them to visit a former laboratory located at the nearby [[Dreamyard]], where they were tasked to take control of the area's mysterious ‘Future Energy'. [[BW006|They arrive]] and assemble a machine to collect data to be sent back to headquarters, though the machine ended up alerting Ash, his friends, and [[Officer Jenny]] of their plan. The machine is destroyed, but not before they transmitted the data back to HQ for analysis.

In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is On Axew!]]'', Giovanni instructed the trio to head to the [[Desert Resort]] and meet up with another Team Rocket agent to investigate a [[Meteonite|meteorite fragment]] located there. [[BW010|Upon arriving]] at the meetup location, the trio were surrounded by the police. As Officer Jenny prepared to arrest them, the agent-[[Pierce]]-arrived and rescued them. As they escaped, Pierce handed a briefcase to James with vital information.

In ''[[BW011|A Home for Dwebble!]]'', the trio succeeded in their mission to steal data concerning the Meteonite from the [[Antimony Research Lab]].

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', the trio was given a mission to break into the [[Nacrene Museum]] and swap out a fake meteorite with the real one, which they accomplished in the [[BW015|next episode]], and [[BW017|later]] handed it off to [[Dr. Zager]].

In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', they located the Meteonite in the Desert Resort. This would be their final mission from Giovanni, and after this they were advised to act on their own in the best interest of Team Rocket. The three decided to focus on what they do best-trying to capture Ash's Pikachu.

In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', [[BW057|after]] [[BW058|destroying]] the shrines of {{an|Forces of Nature|Tornadus}} and {{an|Forces of Nature|Thundurus}}, Team Rocket tried to capture the Forces of Nature, but were thwarted by Ash and his friends.

In ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'', the trio were given a mission by Dr. Zager to obtain a [[Cover Fossil]] inside [[Twist Mountain]], which would be used to open a time gate to steal countless [[Fossil]] Pokémon from the past. Once they stole one from [[Ferris]], they retreated to Dr. Zager's helicopter. The Cover Fossil was successfully revived into a {{p|Tirtouga}}, but it escaped from the group. Team Rocket chased it down-where it evolved into a {{p|Carracosta}}-and held it down in front of the Time Gate. As they were about to pass through the gate, Ash and his friends arrived to stop them. This, along with Carracosta from the past, forced Team Rocket to flee emptyhanded.
[[File:Team Rocket saving Giovanni.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Rocket rescuing Giovanni]]
The trio reappeared in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', where they tried to capture a {{an|Meloetta}} for a future job: Operation
Tempest. The plan continued in ''[[BW095| All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', where they were able to injure Meloetta before it was found by Ash and {{an|Cynthia}}. In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', the operation began in full, with the trio capturing Ash, Pikachu, and Meloetta and bringing them to the [[Abyssal Ruins]].

Once there, Giovanni used Meloetta's song to summon the [[Reveal Glass]] and the Forces of Nature. During the battle, Giovanni was possessed by the Reveal Glass, and Meowth, Jessie, and James jumped in and removed him from its influence. He then ordered a full retreat from the Unova region, with the trio joining him.

Along with James and Meowth, Jessie reappeared in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', returning to their original plan of catching Ash's Pikachu. They've also added new Pokémon to their team, with Jessie catching a {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} sometime before meeting up with Ash and company. However, she is forced to give it and her {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} away to Giovanni in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' under the pretense that she captured them for him. She also regained Wobbuffet as part of her team in the episode.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====
Jessie returned once again in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', following Ash to the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. In Kalos, Jessie became a [[Pokémon Performer]], competing under the aliases '''Jessilee''' and '''Jessilia''' (Japanese: '''ムサヴィ''' ''Musavie'').

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Giovanni approved the trio's plan to steal as many rare and powerful Pokémon as they could in Kalos.

In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', she {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}.

In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', the Team Rocket trio entered the [[Poké Puff Contest]]. After failing the preliminary round, the three decided to instead steal all the food and Pokémon at the event. They are stopped by a combined attack from the twerps Pokémon.

In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', Jessie entered the Rookie Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] that was being held in [[Coumarine City]]. In the first round, she competed against {{an|Shauna}} and [[Alouette]] using her Pumpkaboo, which she dressed up as a scarecrow. Jessie however had misunderstood what she meant to do, as the point of the Showcase was to show off the Pokémon's beauty whereas she had chosen to make Pumpkaboo as scary as possible. As a result, she was the least voted Performer and thus was eliminated from the competition.
[[File:XY063.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie trying to release Wobbuffet]]
In ''[[XY063|A Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!]]'', Jessie and Wobbuffet got lost after blasting off when trying to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. As she and Wobbuffet searched for [[James]] and {{MTR}} they came across a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gloom}} which Jessie tried to shoo away by shoving sand at it, but instead it used {{m|Stun Spore}} on her and Wobbuffet causing them to fall into a nearby river. Jessie and Wobbuffet were saved from drowning by [[Dr. White]] and his female Wobbuffet. Dr. White took Jessie and Wobbuffet back to his clinic in order to recover. There, Jessie noticed the two Wobbuffet had a connection and started to fall in love with Dr. White. Later, after being found out by Ash and his friends, Jessie confided in them that she was done with Team Rocket. Unbeknownst to Jessie, James and Meowth were listening in on the conversation, but they didn't do anything to try and stop her. After realizing Dr. White didn't have feelings for her, and learning that {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}, {{TP|James|Inkay}}, and Meowth were captured by a Pokémon Hunter, Jessie decided to leave Wobbuffet behind and save her friends. As she was rescuing her friends, Wobbuffet came back to her and helped her. At the end of the episode, she was seen holding flowers that Dr. White gave her as a gift, but she decided to stick with her friends instead.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Jessie attempted to earn her first {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}} by competing in the {{to|Dendemille}} Rookie Class Showcase. During the Theme Performance, she was seen baking some [[Poké Puff]]s for the judges along with Meowth and Wobbuffet. Meowth had heard what [[flavor]]s the judges' Pokémon preferred and told Jessie to give her an advantage. As a result, the three were able to advance to the Freestyle Performance. There, they delivered a performance that impressed [[Delilah]] and some other audience members. However, it was not enough to bring Jessie the victory.
[[File:Jessilee Couriway Showcase.png|thumb|250px|Jessilee in the Couriway Showcase]]
In ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', Jessie and her fellow Team Rocket members attended the [[Gourgeist Festival]], during which she {{pkmn|cosplay|dressed up as}} a {{p|Mismagius}}. She met a man named [[Count Pumpka]] who had a {{p|Pumpkaboo}} that had fallen in love with Jessie's. Count Pumpka offered to [[trade]] his {{p|Mawile}} for Jessie's Pumpkaboo, and after hearing that Mawile could [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], Jessie became very excited and a fight broke out between Jessie and Pumpkaboo. As a result of the fight Jessie agreed to the trade. As soon as Count Pumpka called Pumpkaboo out she [[Evolution|evolved]], which caused Count Pumpka's Pumpkaboo to lose his interest in her. After remembering all the good times she had with Pumpkaboo Jessie wanted to trade the two Pokémon back, to which Count Pumpka agreed. During a blast off, which happened as a result of battling Ash and his friends, Jessie was hugging {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} the entire time, happy to have her back.

Jessie entered the [[Couriway Town]] Pokémon Showcase in ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', where she succeeded in getting past the Theme Performance, which consisted of baking Poké Puffs while simultaneously delivering a performance, with the help of Meowth and Wobbuffet. During the Freestyle Performance, she performed a dance routine alongside her Gourgeist and Wobbuffet that excited the audience. When the round was over and the audience was asked to vote on the Performer who had performed the best, a majority voted for Jessie, who earned her first Princess Key from [[Monsieur Pierre]] as a reward.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Jessie and her team members decided to attend a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. After seeing Serena and her friends go inside, Meowth noted that it would be a perfect chance to catch Pikachu. Jessie, however, decided to let go of these plans in favor of attending the dance party and decided on James being her date while Gourgeist decided Inkay to be hers. Later, she was seen flailing James during their dance. With the dance party over, Monsieur Pierre announced a Tag Battle and Miette and James were partnered against Ash and Serena. Despite James's chagrin, Jessie sternly told him to win the battle but he lost, leading to her and her Gourgeist eating from the table behind them out of frustration.

In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Jessie, James, and Meowth were first seen contacting Giovanni and informed them about [[Team Flare]] and [[Squishy|a powerful Pokémon which can exhibit various Formes]]. Intrigued, Giovanni assigned them with the task to catch the {{p|Zygarde|Pokémon}}. As the trio searched for Squishy, they met up with [[Z2|another Pokémon resembling Squishy but having a blue core]] and Team Flare scientists [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]]. After James's Inkay successfully damaged the device which was used by Team Flare to catch Z2, Jessie sent out her Gourgeist to attack [[Mable#Weavile|Mable's Weavile]] and [[Aliana#Druddigon|Aliana's Druddigon]] with {{m|Seed Bomb}} which created smoke, successfully allowing Team Rocket to flee with Z2. She and her teammates were confronted once again by Team Flare but despite putting up a good fight, her Gourgeist ended up being knocked out. Later, she witnessed Z2 transform into its 50% Forme to fight against Team Flare's Pokémon and later [[Alain's Charizard]]. When the Order Pokémon lost, she along with her teammates jumped in front of Z2 to rescue it from Team Flare but ended up being blasted off by Mable's {{p|Weavile}} and Aliana's {{p|Druddigon}}.
[[File:Jessie Gloire Showcase.png|thumb|250px|left|Jessie in the Master Class Showcase]]
In ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'', having gained the two Princess Keys needed to enter the Master Class, she entered the [[Gloire City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Master Class. In the first round, she performed against [[Nini]] and [[Concetta]], where she dazzled the audience with {{m|Shadow Ball}} from her Gourgeist. When the second part of the first round began, she chose to strike a series of poses with her Gourgeist while [[Nini]] and Concetta appealed to the audience, but later joined the appeals, commanding Shadow Ball from her Gourgeist which enveloped the stage in a lilac smoke. Due to her appeals, she managed to advance to the next round in which she participated with Meowth, and made it through to the top three semi-finalists. Jessilee seemed pleased when Monsieur Pierre announced the rules for the semi-final round [[XY113|in the next episode]], claiming she just has to do what she has been since doing. Despite putting up a good performance with Meowth and her Gourgeist, she was defeated, and despite her partners' fear, did not seem sad about it, instead being happy that Kalos could see her beauty. When the Master Class was over, she was seen walking through [[Gloire City]] rather silently, causing James, Meowth, Inkay and her Pokémon to worry and fear her wrath. However, she shrugged their fears and decided that she just wanted to give a feast to them, which shall be financed by James, for supporting her.

She along with her teammates and her Wobbuffet worked as [[Malva]]'s assistants during the [[Lumiose Conference]] from ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' to ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', with the aim of earning money and capturing any strong Pokémon in the [[Lumiose Conference|Kalos League]]. However, they were not very pleased with their jobs and felt that they were over-working; despite this, they did not quit their jobs. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', they made it a point to steal the two finalists, Ash and [[Alain]]'s, Pokémon after the battle, but could not execute their plan due to Team Flare wreaking havoc in [[Lumiose City]]. When Malva decided to abandon the broadcasting and confront [[Lysandre]] in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Jessie, as '''Jessimurrow''', took to narrating the calamity herself, until the broadcast was interrupted by Team Flare. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', she, in disguise of a news reporter, set out with her teammates, {{an|Serena}}, [[Mairin]], and [[Professor Sycamore]] towards [[Lysandre Labs]] in an attempt to take over the base and bring Team Flare down.

They reached the Lysandre Labs in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', where a surprise attack from [[Celosia#Drapion|Celosia's Drapion]] caused her, and her teammates, to be enraged enough to remove their disguises and take on Celosia and {{p|Drapion}} with her Gourgeist. In [[XY135|the next episode]], she finally defeated [[Celosia]] and [[Mable]] with her Wobbuffet, and after the [[Giant Rock]] transformed into a Zygarde, fled the Lysandre Labs along with her teammates on their helicopter. She took to reporting the entire event surrounding the Rock as they followed it on the helicopter on its way towards [[Anistar City]], and like her teammates, was utterly surprised to see the seven [[Gym Leader]]s and Kalos Champion [[Diantha]] arrive on the scene to deal with the Giant Rock. She later assisted Ash and Alain in infiltrating the Giant Rock by sending out her Gourgeist in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'' to fight the Megalith Zygarde. One of the roots, however, blasted her and her teammates out of the helicopter, but they were saved by [[Diantha's Gardevoir]].

After the disaster, she and her teammates claimed sole credit for defeating Team Flare to Giovanni.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', she and Gourgeist participated in an Exhibition Showcase held in Lumiose City, specifically planned to help the citizens recover from the gloom of the disaster by spreading happiness and excitement.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''=====
[[File:Jessie catching Mimikyu.png|thumb|250px|Jessie catching Mimikyu]]
In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', the trio arrived in the [[Alola]] region to obtain some rare Alolan Pokémon for Giovanni, as well as Ash's Pikachu, which they were surprised to find on [[Melemele Island]]. They had also left Inkay and Gourgeist behind at headquarters. They allied with a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, which hated Pikachu, but at the end of the episode, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Bewear}} kidnapped Jessie and James. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', the Bewear looked after the trio, giving them food and shelter at its den. Jessie used James's [[Luxury Ball]] to capture Mimikyu.

It was revealed in ''[[SM012|The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!]]'' that Jessie has a dislike for Giovanni's secretary [[Matori]], who regularly displays a contemptuous and condescending attitude towards the trio and acts as if she is their boss. Jessie in turn sees Matori as a rival figure and even calls her "four eyes".

In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', the trio completed their secret base in Bewear's den.

In ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', the trio, upon learning about [[Z-Move]]s, began their search for a [[Z-Crystal]]. They discovered a [[Darkinium Z]] in a nest of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}}, led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Raticate, and attempted to retrieve it. However, they were intercepted by members of [[Team Skull]], also after the same Z-Crystal. Ultimately, after a clash with the other team, and with the Totem Pokémon, the trio obtained the Z-Crystal for themselves.

In ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', it was revealed that Jessie has a star-crush on [[Oluolu]], a famous [[Baseball|Pokémon Base]] player from [[Melemele Island]]. In the episode, she, along with her teammates, played Pokémon Base against Ash and {{ashcl}} in an effort to get Oluolu's autograph, but lost. In appreciation for a good game, Oluolu offered Jessie his autograph anyway; however, Bewear charged through and carried Team Rocket off before she could accept it.

In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Jessie sent Mimikyu out to battle Ash during another attempt to steal Pikachu, but Team Rocket was quickly blasted off. This separated Mimikyu and its Trainer from James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet, while also ripping Mimikyu's rag in the process. Wearing a malasada bag, Mimikyu and its Trainer went shopping to find a replacement for its rag, but the Disguise Pokémon became irritated by Jessie's different outfits and stormed out of the store. Jessie convinced Mimikyu to hand over its rag to her for a repair. When she later opened another bag of malasadas, a trio of {{p|Murkrow}} stole them, but also accidentally took Mimikyu's rag. Jessie, however, was able to retrieve it. When a larger flock of Murkrow returned for an attack, Mimikyu slid into its repaired rag and protected its Trainer from the flock. Later, Team Rocket returned to Ash for a rematch. Nevertheless, Mimikyu still ignored her commands to attack {{AP|Lycanroc}} and attacked Pikachu instead, leaving Team Rocket open to Lycanroc's {{m|Continental Crush}}, sending them flying until Bewear arrived to take them to its den.

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Team Rocket was revealed to have flown to Kanto as per orders from the headquarters. At the airport, the trio noticed Misty and Brock meet up with Ash and his classmates, and after eavesdropping on the group's conversation, decided to steal Pokémon off of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and present them to Giovanni. However, their attempt to steal the group's Pokémon was thwarted, and they were carried back to Alola by Bewear in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.
[[File:Team Rocket and Z-Power Ring.png|thumb|left|250px|Team Rocket having obtained a Z-Power Ring]]
In ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', [[James's Mareanie]] learned {{m|Knock Off}}, meaning the trio finally had a move that worked with their Darkinium Z. They reported this to Giovanni and Matori, who informed them they needed a Z-Ring to use it. Giovanni told them to head to [[Ula'ula Island]] to meet [[Nanu]], an old acquaintance of his who could help them out. They later arrived on the island and ran into a {{p|Gengar}}-nicknamed Greedy Rapooh-who stole their Darkinium Z. They chased it down, with Mimikyu attacking it with Shadow Ball. Greedy Rapooh jumps from body to body possessing them; James used the distraction to retrieve the Darkinium Z. As the battle continued, Nanu arrived and gave the trio a [[Z-Power Ring]]. The Greedy Rapooh is then defeated with Mareanie's {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}. Afterwards, Jessie was given a [[Mimikium Z]] from [[Acerola]].

In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Team Rocket acted as Ash's opponent during his {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} [[Island challenge|trial]]. Mimikyu battled Pikachu, and eventually Mimikyu used {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}, with all of Team Rocket working together to provide the Z-Power. However, Pikachu was able to survive the Z-Move when he shielded himself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. When Ash's [[Electrium Z]] turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Pikachu was able to use {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, which defeated Mimikyu.

In ''[[SM122|Spying for the Big Guy!]]'', Giovanni informed the trio that he wanted them to send Bewear to him, as they had earlier stated they had caught her. They attempted to catch her before realizing it would be impossible, after which Matorni and her Meowth appeared demanding the Strong Arm Pokémon. They managed to stall by promising other strong Pokémon-namely those belonging to Ash and his friends and [[Grandpa Forest]]. Both attempts failed, and Matori settled for taking {{p|Stufful}}. Unable to let their friend be taken, the trio tricked Matori into taking Meowth disguised as Stufful. When the ruse was discovered, Matori's Meowth attacked, which summoned Bewear to the rescue.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Jessie entered the [[Manalo Conference]] alongside James. Disguised as '''Jessina''' (Japanese: '''ムサジーナ''' ''Musasina''), Jessie was among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round. Despite intending to keep herself hidden and avoid elimination until the battle was over, Mimikyu kept running around the battlefield, attacking any Pikachu it could find. By the end, Jessie was one of the 16 Trainers still standing at the end of the round. The match-ups for the next round revealed that she would be battling James.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Jessie and Wobbuffet battled James and his {{TP|James|Mareanie}}. Fully confident in her own victory, she allowed Wobbuffet to act however he pleased, which he did by repeatedly using {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} against Mareanie's {{m|Spike Cannon}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. However, Mareanie ultimately managed to defeat Wobbuffet with a relentless Spike Cannon barrage after James gained a newfound resolve to win, thus eliminating Jessie from the competition.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Team Rocket received a call from HQ to return to headquarters. Unable to believe Mimikyu and Mareanie would be happy there, they released the two Pokémon before returning to Kanto.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Giovanni ordered Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet to steal strong and rare Pokémon for the organization and make Team Rocket known and feared across the world. He then promised to deliver them a new secret weapon meant to help them achieve these objectives: The [[Rocket Prize Master]]. They used it for the first time against Ash and [[Goh]], receiving a {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite the powerful Pokémon, they lost to Ash's Pikachu.

Sometime prior to ''[[JN017|Kicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!]]'', Team Rocket was revealed to have made a secret base in [[Vermilion City]].
[[File:Team Rocket Kublock Ditto.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket encouraging Ditto]]
In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', Team Rocket encountered a movie-star {{p|Ditto}} who'd run away due to its inability to properly {{m|Transform}} and its [[Kublock|Trainer]]'s short temper. Deciding to make Ditto a new member of Team Rocket, the group worked to teach Ditto to control its nerves and transform properly. After learning that Ditto was needed back, however, Team Rocket pretended they'd kidnapped Ditto to cover up the fact it ran away. The trio provoked Ash and Pikachu to blast them off, and with that Ditto was returned to the studio.

In ''[[JN024|A Little Rocket R & R!]]'', Team Rocket was ordered to go on vacation to the [[Resort Area]] in [[Sinnoh]]. However, the reward was a ploy by Matori and her agents, who planned to steal many Pokémon from the Resort Area. After overhearing her insulting them, the four decided to get their revenge by helping Ash and Goh free the Pokémon. The subsequent battle quickly turned against Matori and her unit, and when [[Officer Jenny]] arrived, they retreated.

In ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', the trio were sent to [[Galar]] on Giovanni's command. During the trip, the [[Darkest Day]] began, and the trio planned on using the opportunity to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}. The plan failed, however, when Meowth was hit by a beam of [[Dynamax]] energy, causing him to [[Gigantamax]]. Unable to handle the energy, he began to attack his teammates. He [[JN045|eventually]] regained control of himself and went to attack Eternatus with {{m|G-Max Gold Rush}}, but was robbed of his [[Dynamax]] energy and subsequently sent blasting off by the Gigantic Pokémon.
[[File:JN106.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Rocket's radio show]]
In ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', Team Rocket met up with Cassidy, who was running a café in a small snowy village with her {{p|Raticate}}. James grew to like the place and was encouraged by the other to stay, which he agreed to. Jessie and Meowth later found Butch running a bakery in a quiet coastal village alongside a female Meowth. Meowth fell in love, and Jessie persuaded Meowth to stay with it. The two later reunited with her after getting kicked out and rejected.

In ''[[JN106|Radio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!]]'', Team Rocket was ordered by Giovanni to recruit new members for Team Rocket. They figured radio was the best method, and as a result started a new late-night radio show. However, after their first episode, they discovered not a single person tuned in to listen. The second episode went no better, and as a result they gave the show a major overhaul. Through many changes, Team Rocket's radio program started to become more and more popular, but along the way they forgot about the goal of recruitment. They were later scolded by Giovanni for this, though they occasionally did the show for fun.

In ''[[Team Rocket Expedition which stands by the evils of love and truth]]'', Jessie briefly travels alongside James and Meowth to the [[Paldea]] region.
[[File:JN145.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket reuniting with all of their current Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Jessie, James, and Meowth reunited with their Pokémon that had been residing at {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. Realizing the potential of such a large group, the team hatched a scheme to isolate Ash's Pikachu and capture him. The trio waited at the end of the trap, where they ambushed an isolated Pikachu. Despite their efforts, however, Pikachu was able to evade capture, and a wild {{an|Latias}} that had been following Ash intervened and sent the evil group blasting off. Upset over the failure, the trio decided it was time to go their separate ways.

In ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]'', she returned to the headquarters and gained a job working in the cafeteria, though the work was harder than she imagined. She [[JN147|later]] snuck out to try and steal Pikachu once again, where she unexpectedly ran into James and Meowth, who had gotten the same idea. Tired of working at the cafeteria, the Team Rocket trio rekindled their friendship and decided to work together once more. They launched their attack, snatching Pikachu in a net and reciting their motto to celebrate their reunion. [[Ash's Pidgeot]] came to Ash and Pikachu's rescue, and Pikachu delivered the usual blast-off Thunderbolt. Despite failing once again, the Team Rocket trio were happy to be together again and vowed to never give up on chasing after Pikachu as a team as they disappeared into the distance.

====Character====
[[File:Jessie enraged.png|thumb|left|220px|Jessie enraged]]
She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Beginning in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', she has a rivalry with [[Matori]], Giovanni's secretary and an elite Team Rocket operative.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja-Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in general, though several {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon have since appeared on her team including {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}.

Jessie is prone to vanity and explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'', ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]'', ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', and ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as in the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She shares this trait with James, who hates being referred to as an old man. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. At times, her anger is also shown to scare James and Meowth, usually when they are expecting it or if she really loses her temper. This intense anger was demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands, and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums have become less frequent and eruptive over the next story arcs.

While she is very incompetent when it comes to stealing Pokémon, Jessie eventually becomes a highly accomplished Performer and a Master Class semi-finalist. Indeed, after she loses to Serena, she is overjoyed by her steady progress, instead of going on her usual rants or crying like the others.

During her time in [[Hoenn]], Jessie revealed herself to have been a former [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and re-assumed this role throughout her time in the region. Still, almost every time, she performed terribly. Her skills significantly improved during her time in [[Sinnoh]], during which Jessie proved herself to be a talented Coordinator. Her skills and knowledge of Contests were further showcased in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', where Jessie criticized [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]]'s performance after her {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}'s attack proved distracting. Jessie tended to showcase her relationships with her Pokémon. She was consistently noted for her unique style and enthusiasm, literally throwing herself into her performances and enduring attacks. Despite being defeated on many occasions, Jessie has nonetheless been able to win a few Contests on her own, including defeating Kenny in the finals of the {{to|Solaceon}} Contest and being praised by [[Top Coordinator]] [[Johanna]] for her winning performance in the {{to|Neighborly}} Contest.
[[File:Jessie Party.png|thumb|250px|Jessie's current [[party]], excluding Wobbuffet]]
====Pokémon====
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, but as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''.

Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. When she enters [[Pokémon Contest]]s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

[[File:Team Rocket trio M21.png|thumb|250px|Jessie in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'']]
Jessie appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. She first appeared in disguise with [[James]] and {{MTR}} in a Pokémon Center, being wanted for stealing Pokémon. When a Trainer who had just battled an {{p|Entei}} hurried inside the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket eavesdropped on the conversation and decided to hunt for Entei themselves. While looking for Entei in the forest, they were blasted off by a raging {{p|Onix}}.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' Team Rocket hide behind some bushes as Ash meets Margo. Meowth asks how they are going to steal Pikachu and Jessie suggests starting a juice business because that they will become rich. That day, before the catch race Team Rocket is in the background selling Lum Berries.
Later that evening Team Rocket are trying to steal from Toren's lab Jessie reveals that she has "No idea" what moves and abilities are. Team Rocket is about to begin stealing when the Smeargle ink spills and Toren comes into the room to investigate so Team Rocket hides outside.

The next day while Toren is presenting his research, Harriet finds Team Rocket backstage and asks them who they are. Jessie starts saying the Team Rocket motto but Meowth interrupts them. James drops a smoke bomb and they run to the forest but while they are running Jessie thinks that she tossed the Effect Spore to Meowth but it turns out she didn't and she actually dropped it.

After the Effect Spore started spreading across the city, Team Rocket took their Lum Berry cart and went to the Pokémon Center. As they caught their breath Toren, with their permission, takes all of their Lum Berries to stop the spread of and reverse the effects of the Effect Spore.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Game Freak Jessie and Arbok.jpg|thumb|200px|Artwork of Jessie and her Arbok from the [[Game Freak]] website]]
Both Jessie and James appear in {{game|Yellow}} as in-game bosses, collectively referred to as the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket}} Trainer class rather than by name. They first attack the {{player}} in [[Mt. Moon]] while trying to take one of the rare [[Fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after {{ga|Red}} busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]], attacking the player on the seventh floor.

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

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

Jessie and James appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] on the same level as admins. They are more powerful than other Team Rocket Grunts and will always challenge the player to a [[Double Battle]]. If the player tries to leave Viridian City without delivering Oak's Package, they will be blocking the north exit to the city. Above the entrance to Mt. Moon, {{p|Meowth}} is sleeping, but when the player takes a few steps into the cave, Jessie and James appear, Meowth wakes up and joins them, and the trio runs away, leaving the player to follow them into Mt. Moon. When the player gets a Fossil and starts leaving the cave, Jessie and James challenge them to a battle.

==Quotes==
{{main|Team Rocket trio/Quotes}}

==In the manga==
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:RocketShipping.png|thumb|200px|Jessie and [[James]] as a [[RocketShipping|married couple]] in the manga]]
[[File:Jessie EToP.png|thumb|left|200px|Jessie in the manga]]
Jessie appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] along with her teammates [[James]] and {{MTR}}.

Her first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. She, James and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try to find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, she and James attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, she uses an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} in battle.

Jessie's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. She and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, Jessie's {{p|Ekans}} has evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

Following this, Jessie and James begin regularly appearing in the manga, following Ash to the [[Pokémon League]] championship at [[Indigo Plateau]] and cheering him on at the [[Orange League]]. Jessie, along with James, seems to maintain a friendship or at least acquaintance with Ash, as he has the [[Team Rocket trio]] deliver a letter to his mother as they are passing [[Pallet Town]] in ''[[ET20|Epilogue: Wild Type]]''. In this epilogue chapter, she is shown as slightly older with a shorter hairdo.

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

Like many female characters in the manga, Jessie is depicted with an oversized bust, though this is edited down for [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation.

Jessie debuted in ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]''. In the manga, the role of Team Rocket Trio is quite reduced compared to the anime, so their participation ends up being removed or much smaller than the episodes on which each chapter is based.

==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie Special Lure.png‎|thumb|200px|Jessie's special lure]]
* In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', [[James]] implies that Jessie is short for "Jessica".
* As ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]'' was the first episode in the {{pkmn|anime}} to feature digital colored animation, Jessie's hair color was changed to magenta in all subsequent episodes. In all of the hand-colored cel animated episodes prior to this point, including {{pkmn|movie}}s like ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Jessie's hair was colored red.
* Jessie is one of only two [[human]] characters, and the only one that is a main character, to appear in [[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]] or its English equivalent, "Who's That Pokémon?", having dressed as a {{p|Venomoth}} in the Dare da? for [[EP161]]. The other is [[Brutella]].
* Jessie is the only main character to not obtain any Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* Both {{an|Misty}} and Jessie were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]] in the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub, then they switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when [[TPCi]] took over.
* In promotional material for the [[Manalo Conference]], Jessie was given the title of (Japanese: 戦場のアクトレス ''Actress of the battlefield'').

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school, and {{wp|Time Bokan#Villains|Majo}}, the female antagonist of the ''{{wp|Time Bokan}}'' anime series.

* In ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', Jessie's mother [[Miyamoto]] wrote a report 20 years before {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s creation that says she gave away her daughter to be a foster child as a little girl.
* In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie tells {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, who are 10 years old, that they're 10 years too young to talk about love, and James adds that he and Jessie are five years older than that, placing them both at 25 years old.
* In ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', Jessie mentions that {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo|Gourgeist}} was the only one who remembered her [[birthday]], which happened some time after she [[XY011|caught]] her.</ref>

'''Thorton''' (Japanese: '''ネジキ''' ''Neziki'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] in charge of running the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}}, acting under the title of '''{{tc|Factory Head}}''' (Japanese: '''ファクトリーヘッド''' ''Factory Head'').

==In the core series games==
Thorton is the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Factory in the [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] regions. It is suggested he is very intelligent, as he mentions inventing a machine that analyzes the player's Pokémon. If he is defeated he will hand over the Factory Print.

===Pokémon===
Like the {{player}}, he uses [[rental Pokémon]]. Therefore, all of his Pokémon are random for both the Gold and Silver Prints, so he can use any Pokémon except for those that are not admissible in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}; these include {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Thorton (Masters)}}
Thorton forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Magnezone}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Thorton and Bronzong became a scoutable sync pair since the game's release.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Thorton Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Thorton in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Thorton first appears along with his fellow [[Frontier Brain]]s, [[Palmer]], [[Dahlia]], and [[Argenta]] in a meeting; afterward they go back to their facilities. Thorton later appears at his facility, the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}}, where he watches {{adv|Platinum}} battle through it. Eventually, Platinum manages to get enough wins to allow her to challenge him and they begin battling.

Due to the rules of the Battle Factory, the two use [[rental Pokémon]] to Battle each other instead of their own Pokémon. Despite Thorton having much confidence in his battling skills and knowledge, Platinum proves superior to him in both categories, allowing her to defeat him. Angered at his defeat, Thorton throws a temper tantrum until Argenta snaps him out of it by slapping him in the face.

Later, he is given a Team Galactic camera robot that [[Riley]] obtained on [[Iron Island]] and is tasked with fixing it. Eventually, he succeeds, but is left exhausted in the process.

** In the Japanese version of ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', Misty mentions that she is ten years old.
** Ash, Goh, and Chloe's character profiles (in Japanese) mentioned their ages as of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200905123936/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/tv_movie/anime/ アニメ「ポケットモンスター」 - Pokémon.co.tv (archived)]</ref>
** In the English version of ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash mentions that it has been a year since he visited [[Viridian City]]. However, this remark was not present in the Japanese version, and it did not affect Ash's age stated in the anime.
** It is implied that one year passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' since the [[Magnet Train]] would take one year to be completed. However, this did not affect Ash's age either.
** Chloe's age was mentioned in [[JN119]].
* [[Forrest]], the rest of [[Brock's siblings]], {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Parker]] are younger than 10 years old.
* [[Max]] is 7 years old.
* [[Paul]] is 11 years old.
* {{an|Brock}} is 15 years old.
** His age is mentioned in [[:File:Brock face OS concept art.png|concept art]].
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are 25 years old as of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. However, Jessie later had a birthday sometime between ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'' and ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', making her 26 years old as of XY.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to get focused on romance while James adds that he and Jessie are 5 years older than that.
** In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', {{p|Necrozma}}'s aura causes all the adults to feel lazy and lethargic, with no effect on children and teenagers. This affects Jessie and James, confirming that they are adults.
** More details about Jessie:
*** In ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', Jessie mentions that {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo|Gourgeist}} was the only one who remembered her [[birthday]], which happened some time after she [[XY011|caught]] her.
*** [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] radio drama has a flashback twenty years before the present time, when Jessie was a young child. This indicates that Jessie is currently older than 20 years old.
*** In the English version of ''[[EP218|Plant It Now... Diglett Later]]'', when an old woman says that she is 120 years old, Jessie claims that that's "ten times [her] age!", which would make Jessie 12 years old. However, after hearing this, {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}} responds "Where did you get that math?", which may indicate that this age is not accurate.
**** In the Japanese version of this dialogue, once the old woman says that she is 120 years old, Jessie states that this is "''more'' than ten times" her age, unlike in the English dialogue. Meowth replies with "More than ten times is exaggerating!"
**** If Jessie lied about her age to appear younger, this may be related to the fact that she often hates to be called an "old hag".
*** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', Jessie falsely claims to be a 17-year-old idol (in Japanese) or diva (in English) as part of her disguise.
** More details about James:
*** In the English version of ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'', when James is driving a car and Jessie compliments him by saying "Nice driving!", he replies with "I should get a license." This may imply that James is old enough to get a license. However, the line about getting a license is not present in the Japanese version. The minimum age to get a driving license in the anime is not known, although it is explicitly said to be [[Pokémon world (PMTA)#Adulthood|10 years old]] in the [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]] novels.
* {{an|Professor Oak}} is 50 years old as of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.

Talk:Kieran

2023-10-24T00:41:58Z

Inkster: /* French Version Age */

== Name origin ==
Kieran's Japanese name, Suguri (スグリ) is the Japanese word for currant or gooseberry (it is the term for the genus ''Ribes''). Due to Kieran's violet theming it may be specifically referring to blackcurrant (クロスグリ, kurosuguri), which has a distinct purple color.
Kieran (in English) probably comes from the word "currant"?
--[[User:DecafSnorlax|DecafSnorlax]] ([[User talk:DecafSnorlax|talk]]) 06:36, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Kieran is an anglicisation of the Irish name Ciarán, which comes from the word ciar, meaning black [[User:Magentafeelings|Magentafeelings]] ([[User talk:Magentafeelings|talk]]) 20:50, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

== French Version Age ==

I think that since the French version is the only clearification of Kieran’s age it should show ~14 just like how the protagonist of PLA have next to their age and the pla protagonist age isn’t cannon and only implied by Cylene as she states the the player character LOOKS not is 15. Similar thing with Kieran because his age is said only in the French version so that age should be there just like the PLA player character. [[User:KenneyTGP|KenneyTGP]] ([[User talk:KenneyTGP|talk]]) 23:49, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

More proof is that Cylene says that the player LOOKS 15 not is, and that’s coming from someone who in that point in the game barely knows you. But for Kieran his age is stated by Carmine who is his sister who would know his age better then anyone else of there than Kieran’s family. So the prof is more solid and I think that should be his age in bulbapidia. [[User:KenneyTGP|KenneyTGP]] ([[User talk:KenneyTGP|talk]]) 00:03, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
:"~14" doesn't make sense at all regardless with the French version, where he's unambiguously 14. It doesn't say this in any other version, therefore not canon. The PLA protags on the other hand, is basically just taking throwaway dialogue at face value. [[User:Inkster|Inkster]] ([[User talk:Inkster|talk]]) 00:41, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cerulean City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cerulean Gym]]. She gives the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her in {{pkmn|battle}}. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Misty appears in {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], which is the second [[Gym]] that the {{player}} challenges on their {{pkmn|journey}}. Her strategy is an all-out attack with {{type|Water}} Pokémon, and she is constantly looking for ways to improve her technique. A swimmer herself, she trains at the [[Seafoam Islands]]. She admires [[Lorelei]] of the [[Elite Four]]. It is said that she has high hopes for [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]], a romantic date spot. She also expresses a desire to travel one day once she has become stronger. In addition to the {{badge|Cascade}}, Misty gives out {{TM|11|BubbleBeam}} in Red, Blue, and Yellow, {{TM|03|Water Pulse}} in FireRed and LeafGreen, and {{TM|29|Scald}} in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Misty appears in [[Vermilion City]] after the player has defeated [[Lt. Surge]], offering to show them the way to the [[Diglett's Cave]] entrance on {{rt|11|Kanto}}. She also reveals that she sometimes visits Vermilion to swim in the sea.

Three years later, in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Misty remains the Gym Leader of the Cerulean Gym, which can be challenged once the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] from the [[Kanto Power Plant]] is encountered at the Gym. Initially, she cannot be found in the Gym. Instead, she can be seen at Cerulean Cape on a date with her boyfriend. When the player arrives, her boyfriend is scared away, prompting her to grow angry with the player and refer to them as a pest. Upon noticing their eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, however, she accepts the player's challenge and returns to the Gym. While she doesn't give out a TM in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, she gives out TM03 (Water Pulse) in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, once all 16 Badges have been obtained and {{p|Suicune}} has been captured or defeated, Misty can be found on Route 25 on any day between 4 PM and 6 PM. If spoken to, she will offer her [[Pokégear]] number to the player. If she is called on [[Days of the week|Wednesday]] [[Time|mornings]], she will be up for a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. After her Pokégear number has been obtained, she will also appear on Route 25 every day between 2 PM and 4 PM. Upon speaking to her, the player can have a [[photography|photograph]] taken with her if the first Pokémon in their party is a Water-type.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Misty appears alongside the other Gym Leaders of [[Kanto]] as an opponent in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She also participates alongside the Gym Leaders of Kanto, [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] in the [[World Leaders Tournament]], and other Water-type experts in the Water [[Type Expert Tournament]].

===Main series===
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty is a {{ashfr|friend}} and former traveling partner of the anime's main character, [[Ash Ketchum]]. After he stole her [[Bicycle|bike]] and proceeded to accidentally destroy it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Misty followed him around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and the [[Johto]] region, using the time she spent with him to further her goal of becoming the greatest Water Pokémon Master.

At the end of the [[original series]], Misty's bike was returned and repaired by the [[Nurse Joy]] of [[Viridian City]], and as [[The Sensational Sisters|her sisters]] were leaving on a world tour, Misty stayed at the Cerulean Gym as its leader in order to keep it open.

Despite this, she still visits Ash from time to time, meeting up with him during the [[Mirage Kingdom]] and {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} arcs of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. More recently, she reappeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' for two small arcs set in Kanto and [[Alola]], respectively. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Misty decided to travel again, after watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and left the Gym in her sisters' care. Misty eventually reunited with Ash and decided to travel with him again until she decided to return home.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Misty PO.png|thumb|250px|Misty in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Misty and Brock.png|left|thumb|200px|Misty with her {{p|Starmie}} and Brock with his {{p|Geodude}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Misty debuts in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', where {{adv|Red}} saves her from her enraged {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}, which has been experimented on by [[Team Rocket]]. After they recapture the Pokémon, Red and Misty join forces to defeat Team Rocket and find the [[Moon Stone]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Misty is knocked out by a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}'s {{p|Rhydon}}.

As is shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'', she lives in a large mansion and has a horde of maids that look after her. Here she defeats Red in the [[Cerulean Gym]] and trains with him for a couple of days to make them both stronger. At the end of this chapter, she gives Red the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

[[File:Misty Dressed up.png|thumb|200px|Misty dressed up]]
Later, Red wants to teach his Pokémon {{m|Surf}}, but the [[HM]] he tries to acquire is destroyed in a battle with a wild {{p|Dragonite}}. Misty saves Red from drowning; he at first, mistakes her for a mermaid. As Red's one hope of teaching his Pokémon Surf has been utterly demolished, Misty [[trade]]s Red her Gyarados for his Krabby. They have each other's Pokémon in their respective [[party|parties]] to this day.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
She is seen talking with {{adv|Professor Oak}} about Red's disappearance and worries about him, especially after hearing that Oak gave Red's Pokédex and [[Pika]] to {{adv|Yellow}}, who she considered a random stranger. She was then seen teaming up with the other 'good' Gym Leaders of Kanto to thwart {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}}, then possessed by Agatha's Gastly and attempting to retrieve Pika. After the event, she meets Yellow for the first time and gives her an {{p|Omanyte}}. She was also seen being stalled by Agatha, who forced Cerulean under attack by a group of Gastly and Haunter. They finally retrieve what they were after all along, her Gym Badge. Misty had her Starmie go to [[Cerise Island]] and give the message to the others.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Unlike in the anime, Misty has changed her hairstyle later on to match the one worn by her in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. During the second Team Rocket crisis, {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}} lured Misty into a battle underneath [[Tohjo Falls]] and later offered to be her partner. The recruitment somehow gave her strength and confidence, as she was able to easily defeat [[Whitney]] in her {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} at the Indigo Plateau. However, she later becomes injured in the battle with the [[Masked Man]], and Suicune goes on to take {{adv|Crystal}} as its second partner for the battle's climax.

In ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', Misty decides to report to [[Erika]] via her [[Pokégear]]. Since Erika lent her Pokégear earlier to Red, Red ends up being the one who receives the call. Misty's feelings for Red couple with Yellow noticing that Red is talking to Misty creates an awkward tension in the air. Green, fully aware of the tension between them, smugly declares that the three should simply all live together, much to their embarrassment.

{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets Misty while seeking a [[Moon Stone]] along with his Pikachu and his Clefairy. During the meeting, Clefairy notices that she is wearing a Moon Stone as a necklace. She declares that they battle her if they wish to have it. While the Clefairy is initially pumped up to battle, he quickly changes his mind when he sees that his opponent is a massive {{p|Blastoise}}. After a while, the battle is won when Clefairy sucks up all the water in a nearby river and releases the water onto Misty's Pokémon, sending it flying into the sky. Just when Misty is about to reward Red's group with the prize they sought, it gets stolen by someone else.

She is seen again when Red participates in the No. 1 Pokémon contest acting as a judge and when he went to a swimming pool.

Misty lent him her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} while in the Pokémon League as Red needed extra support to defeat Green.

Misty reappears in a cameo in ''[[PMRSs1|Clefairy, Form Teacher Of Class 1P!!]]'', where she is seen wearing her outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

When {{Zensho|Satoshi}} arrives at the [[Cerulean Gym]] in [[PZ03]], he is given a pair of swimming trunks as that is all that is allowed inside the pool arena. Misty appears soon after, [[PokéShipping|prompting a blush from him]]. Soon after, during the battle, he sends out his {{TP|Satoshi|Charmander|Charmander (Zensho)}}, which is afraid of going near the water since the flame on its tail might go out. His Pikachu is sent next, but having no idea of what to do around the water, it falls in. As he attempts to save his Pokémon, Satoshi gets a cramp and nearly drowns, but Misty manages to rescue him.

Later on, as Satoshi and Pikachu dry themselves off, Misty suggests that she teach them how to properly move around in the water, so they can stand a better chance next time. He trains along with Pikachu, who floats on a lifesaver. Misty attempts to take the device away from the mouse, only to see that it is clinging to it. Eventually, Satoshi and Pikachu end up improving. As Satoshi sits around with a {{p|Seel}}, Misty relays a story over how a {{p|Dewgong}} rescued her once when a large wave swept her underwater at the beach. Due to that experience, she feels gratitude toward the Pokémon.

After Satoshi thwarts an attack by a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, she awards him with the {{Badge|Cascade}} and her Seel, telling him that she hopes to meet the Dewgong that rescued her someday.

==In the TCG==
===Cards===
''For the full list of cards featuring Misty or her Pokémon, see [[:Category:Misty (TCG)]]''
[[File:HanadaCityGymDeck.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Hanada City Gym deck box]]

Misty first appeared in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] with the release of the Japanese {{TCG|Hanada City Gym}} deck on April 26, 1998. The deck is built around Misty and {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon|her Pokémon}}, including the eponymous {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty|18}}, {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Wrath|114}}, {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Duel|123}}, and {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Misty's Tears|118}} Trainer cards. The {{TCG|Leaders' Stadium}} expansion released shortly afterwards would add more of Misty's Pokémon and another Trainer card, {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Misty's Wish|108}}. These cards would see international release in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} and {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansions, with the former including a {{TCG|Misty}} {{TCG|Theme Deck}}.

The {{OBP|Riding on Lapras|single}} CD released August 21, 1999 included a special promo card of {{TCG ID|CD|Misty's Treatment|promo}}, as Misty's voice actor performed the song. Misty would next be featured in the TCG with two more of her Pokémon being released in the {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansion. The {{TCG|Theater Limited VS Pack}} including {{TCG ID|Theater VS Pack|Misty's Politoed|3}} and {{TCG ID|Theater VS Pack|Misty's Corsola|4}} would be Misty's last appearance in the TCG for 13 years.

[[File:MistyDeterminationEvolutions108.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Misty's Determination {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} print]]
Misty would return to the TCG during the XY Series in the {{TCG|BREAKpoint}} expansion (the {{TCG|Golduck BREAK + Palkia-EX Combo Deck}} in Japan) in a cameo in {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Lapras|28}}'s artwork and the {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Misty's Determination|104}} {{TCG|Supporter card}}. A print of {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Gym Badge|208}} featuring Misty and the {{badge|Cascade}} would also be a prize at official tournaments near the end of the XY Series.

The Sun & Moon Series added another Supporter card, {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Misty's Favor|202}}, in the international {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and Japanese {{TCG|Miracle Twin}} expansions. Another Japanese deck was then built around Misty: the {{TCG|Trainer Battle Decks|Misty of Cerulean City Gym Trainer Battle Deck}}. While the Pokémon within lacked her name from their titles, Misty was named in two new cards, {{TCG ID|Hidden Fates|Misty's Water Command|63}} and {{TCG ID|Hidden Fates|Misty's Cerulean City Gym|61}}. These cards saw international release in the {{TCG|Hidden Fates}} expansion. At the end of the Series, Misty was featured alongside [[Lorelei]] in the {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} Supporter card {{TCG ID|Cosmic Eclipse|Misty & Lorelei|199}} in the {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}} and {{TCG|Tag All Stars}} expansions.

Misty's next appearance was in the artwork for {{TCG|Astral Radiance}} [[Starmie V (Astral Radiance TG13)|Starmie]]{{TCGV}}.

===Merchandise===
[[File:Misty Cerulean City Gym Trainer Battle Deck Contents.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Contents of the Misty of Cerulean City Gym Trainer Battle Deck]]
The Hanada City Gym and Misty Theme Decks prominently featured her on the box.

In Japan, a set of card sleeves featuring Misty and her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} were released alongside the special [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]] set, the {{TCG|Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary}}.

Like the first deck, the Misty of Cerulean City Gym Trainer Battle Deck features Misty on the box, as well as the card sleeves, deckbox, {{TCG|coin}}, and playmat. A rubber playmat sold separately also uses this artwork, along with her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.

A set of card sleeves featuring Misty, her Starmie, and her {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} was available in Japan the same day as the Battle Region subset.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Misty|40}} appears as a rare {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Misty appears as a random trophy, wearing her outfit from the {{pkmn|anime}}.

====Trophy information====
''Misty's the gym leader of Cerulean City and a real tomboy. She loves swimming and all things aquatic, so she makes a point of collecting Starmie, Staryu, and other Water-type Pokémon. This is common among gym leaders: typically, the Pokémon kept by Trainers tend to reflect that person's personality and preferences.''

'''Caitlin''' (Japanese: '''カトレア''' ''Cattleya'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]]. She is also the head of the [[Battle Castle]] in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} that appeared in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the core series games==
In {{3v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, Caitlin is the employer of [[Darach]] and oversees his [[Battle Castle]] {{pkmn|battle}}s. She is responsible for determining how many {{DL|Battle Castle|Castle Points|CP}} the {{player}} should receive depending on the outcome of the battle. She is said to be the most important person in the Battle Castle and acts like its princess.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Caitlin appears as a member of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Unova]]; she traveled to the [[region]] alone in order to develop her skills further. It is revealed that she possesses some sort of psychic powers, and that in the past, she had an explosive temper that would erupt if she lost a battle causing her psychic powers to cause a lot of damage. This is the reason why [[Darach]] fought in her place in [[Generation IV]].<ref>Caitlin: "''In the past, when I battled, the force of my emotions shook me greatly. When my power awoke, I came close to destroying everything around me. That weak person no longer exists... Still, sometimes, my determination fails.''"</ref> It may also explain why she was quite impatient, as she demanded that Darach give the player Castle Points "at once!" after each victory in the Battle Castle.

She later appears in a villa that she is lending to [[Cynthia]], as do the other female [[Gym Leader]]s and Elite Four members. She also mentions her time at the [[Battle Castle]] while in the villa.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:BWS2 Caitlin.png|thumb|250px|Caitlin in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Caitlin debuted in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', where she participated in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against {{an|Cynthia}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite how powerful the two Trainers were, the time limit put on the battle ended before either of their Pokémon could be defeated, making the match a draw.

She briefly reappeared in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', where she was part of the Junior Cup's closing ceremony.

====Character====
Caitlin aims to battle with grace and elegance. Though she looks confident on the outside, it is implied she is still struggling to become an [[Elite Four]] member by her close friend and mentor {{an|Cynthia}}, as seen during the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]''.

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

|desc={{p|Gothitelle}} was used in the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} for the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. The two proved powerful during the fight, but the battle ended in a draw due to the short time limit.

Gothitelle's known moves are {{m|Flatter}}, {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Brick Break}}.}}

===GOTCHA!===
Caitlin briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Caitlin Pt Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Caitlin in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
Caitlin first appeared alongside her valet [[Darach]] when she misheard {{adv|Looker}} referring to {{adv|Platinum}} as "Lady" as talking to her. When Looker tried to tell her about the mistake, Darach's Gallade immediately attacked him, stripping him down to his underwear. She later watched Platinum and Darach battle at the Battle Castle and scolded Darach when he was defeated. It is later revealed that Caitlin has gained a desire to battle after watching Platinum's battle against Darach. This desire to fight causes her latent psychic powers to awaken and go out of control while Caitlin crazily mutters the word "fight" over and over. She is calmed down by Darach when he offers her some tea.

====={{chap|Black & White}}=====
[[File:Unova Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|270px|left|Caitlin in the ''Black & White'' chapter]]
It is revealed that she has become a member of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. She reappears in the {{un|Pokémon League}}, when the Elite Four assemble before the tournament started. As they discuss [[Alder]]'s recent defeat by the hands of {{adv|N}}, the Elite Four inquire what to do about [[Team Plasma]]. Caitlin chooses to let Team Plasma continue their speeches, as they're technically not doing anything wrong. Despite defending Team Plasma's freedom of speech, Caitlin feels that their kidnapping of the Gym Leaders is too much and needs to be stopped. By using the ability of her Gothitelle and her own psychic powers, Caitlin begins to communicate with the Gym Leaders to try and find their current location. She is unable to determine the Gym Leader's location, but Caitlin is able to find out that they are alright. She travels to the location of {{adv|Black}}'s Gym battle against [[Drayden]] to relay a message to Black from the Gym Leaders.

The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by Black, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with [[N's Castle]]. The Elite Four travel on Shauntal's {{p|Golurk}} to try and confront N at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by [[Colress|Hood Man]], who uses {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Tornadus}}, {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}}, and {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Landorus}} against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes. During the commotion, Black accidentally crashes onto Golurk and lands on the Elite Four. Caitlin reveals to Black that she had encountered his {{p|Munna}}, [[Musha]], right before they went to prepare for the Elite Four battles. Black was told by N that Musha had left because he no longer liked the taste of Black's dreams, but Caitlin reveals that Musha had really left to find some way to evolve and get stronger. With the Moon Stone received from Caitlin, Musha evolved into its final form, {{p|Musharna}} right before it returned to Black.

|desc={{p|Gothitelle}} is Caitlin's only known Pokémon. By using Gothitelle's psychic abilities, Caitlin was able to communicate with the Gym Leaders kidnapped by Team Plasma to learn of their condition. Later, Caitlin used Gothitelle to connect Black's mind to the other Gym Leaders so they would be able to relay a message to him.

Gothitelle's known moves are {{m|Telekinesis}} and {{m|Psyshock}}, and its Ability is {{a|Frisk}}.}}

Inkster: /* Jessie and James */

==Jessie and James==
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been thinking that maybe Jessie and James are "at least 25" instead of the current claim that they are exactly 25.

It appears that Jessie and James are currently said to be 25 years old based on that quote claiming that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to focus on romance while Jessie and James are 5 years too old. But here's a question: 20 years old is considered the only exact age to focus on romance or is it just a lower bound of a range of possible ages?

For instance, if maybe 20-23 is the ideal age range to focus on romance, Jessie and James would be 28 years old based on that quote. Or if maybe 20-29 is the ideal range, Jessie and James would be 34. So all those possible ranges would be summed up as "at least 25". --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 20:06, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
:Jessie specifically is definitely older than 25, because in [[XY082]] she mentions that her Pumpkaboo is the only one who remembered her birthday, which must have happened after she caught her. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 20:38, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
::Pretty sure James said they're "five years older that that", not "five years too old for that". But shouldn't this mean Jessie is 26 as of [[XY082]]?

'''Kieran''' (Japanese: '''スグリ''' ''Suguri'') is a [[rival]] character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He lives in [[Kitakami]] with his older sister, [[Carmine]]. He has a quiet, gentle nature, and often hides behind his big sister. He seems to be curious about the [[player]], though, when they arrive from the [[Paldea]] [[region]].<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_characters/</ref> He is a student attending [[Blueberry Academy]].

He is nicknamed '''Kiki''' (Japanese: '''スグ''' ''Sugu'') by his sister.

==In the core series games==
Kieran is a student of [[Blueberry Academy]] native to [[Kitakami]]. He and Carmine are chosen to accompany the incoming students from [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} on a cultural tour of the area. Kieran is paired up with the [[player character]], and accompanies them around Kitakami as they search for three signposts that tell the story of how the [[Loyal Three]] laid down their lives to protect the land from the evil {{p|Ogerpon}}. During this time, Kieran admits that he actually admires Ogerpon for her strength and independence.

{{spoilers}}
At the end of the first day in Kitakami, the player, Carmine, and Kieran attend the [[Festival of Masks]]. The player and Carmine have a chance encounter with Ogerpon, who flees and drops her Teal Mask. Carmine decides to keep this incident from Kieran, fearing that the knowledge he missed a chance to meet his idol would break his heart. The next day, the player and Carmine learn from the siblings' grandfather that the "Loyal" Three were actually a group of bandits who attacked Ogerpon's Trainer and stole three masks made for her by the siblings' distant ancestor; Ogerpon slew the Lousy Three, but the villagers believed she was attacking them and came to fear her. Unbeknownst to them, Kieran overhears their conversation and concludes that they are excluding him out of contempt. While the player and Carmine search for materials to repair the Teal Mask, Kieran steals the mask, accuses them of treating him like an outcast, and demands the player defeat him in a battle to reclaim the mask.

After the player defeats Kieran, he surrenders the mask as agreed. However, the Lousy Three unexpectedly come back to life and are given food and Ogerpon's stolen masks by the ignorant villagers. While the player, Carmine, and Ogerpon pursue and defeat the Lousy Three, Kieran convinces the villagers that the old legend was mistaken and that Ogerpon was innocent all along. With Ogerpon's reputation rehabilitated, the group returns to Ogerpon's mountain home, where Ogerpon chooses the player to be her Trainer. However, a jealous Kieran demands a final battle with the player for the right to take Ogerpon, irrespective of Ogerpon's wishes. The player defeats Kieran, who watches them catch Ogerpon before fleeing home, locking himself in his room, and refusing to come out or see the player off.

After the end of the tour, Kieran and Carmine are to return early to Blueberry due to an unexpected development in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. Kieran, now consumed by his resentment towards the player and obsession with strength, vows to become even stronger and ominously declares, "Just you wait" to the player.

==Trivia==
* Carmine's nickname for Kieran, "Kiki", is also the nickname of [[Kiki|a particular]] {{p|Delcatty}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* When Kieran punches the [[Loyal Three]]'s shrine after his third battle, a purple mist can be briefly seen in his fist, implying the trio's revival may have something to do with Kieran himself.

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''フラダリ''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the main antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]], who seeks to wipe out most of the world population in order to return the {{pkmn|world|planet}} to a beautiful, unspoiled state. He is also the owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

==In the core series==
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking them to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs them that if they wish to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, they meet with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ. Lysandre introduces AZ as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks them to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if they wish to stop him. The player descends and meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic, and if they are successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns, wearing a cybernetic suit intended to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} energy back into the machine, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.

After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player, their friends, and himself{{sup/6|X}}/kill everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. Hearing this, the player and their friends quickly leave, after which the blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble, putting an end to Team Flare's threat.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. He is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. Like the other {{cat|villainous team leaders}} in Team Rainbow Rocket, this Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world. He is later sent back to his own world by [[Colress]] off-screen.

====History====
=====Mega Evolution Specials=====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an [[Ampharosite]], then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.

[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre in the anime]]
In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

=====Main series=====
Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|the XY&Z arc]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via the Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.

[[File:Lysandre Machine anime.png|thumb|250px|Wearing the Lysandre Machine in the anime]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet. He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where he revived the Giant Rock after it had been temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s. He was ultimately defeated by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. Lysandre was last seen being engulfed by Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}}, leaving his final fate unclear.

Lysandre appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'', where he announced the release of the [[Holo Caster]]. In the process, he was depicted as a popular and successful businessman. He was later seen discussing with [[Diantha]] about the concept of eternal beauty. Afterwards, he was interviewed by some reporters over his involvement with some secret plans, but he didn't reveal any information. Lysandre was then seen at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], conducting experiments on {{p|Yveltal}} in the hopes of creating a more beautiful world.

[[File:Lysandre Machine Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lysandre wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{chap|X & Y}}=====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]''. He was first seen in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab, watching a video of the battle between [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} in [[Vaniville Town]]. He then asked for a copy of the footage for further study.

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Professor Sycamore sent {{adv|Trevor}} and his friends to [[Lysandre Labs|Lysandre Café]] to get repairs for Trevor's [[Holo Caster]]. The group was introduced to Lysandre, but Trevor became suspicious of the man after seeing his silhouette in a photo taken during the Vaniville incident. Noting Trevor's strange behavior, Lysandre asked to see the photo, even using his Pokémon to surround the group when Trevor refused. [[Diantha]] arrived and used her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to defend Trevor's group. Lysandre backed off and left to answer a call from [[Xerosic]], who had discovered the location of Xerneas's tree form.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Lysandre returned to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after Xerneas's tree form had been successfully transported. He received the Lysandre Machine, which [[Clemont]] was forced to build, and a Mega Ring, which had its [[Key Stone]] stolen from [[Korrina]]. Lysandre and Xerosic began draining Xerneas of its life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. {{adv|X}} later broke into the building to put an end to [[Team Flare]]'s ambitions. He found the ultimate weapon's control room and confronted Lysandre, who used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}. During their battle, X had his [[Élec]] use its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull electricity from the ultimate weapon's absorber into its tail, draining the machine of its power. This allowed Xerneas to awaken from its slumber and revert back to normal.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, [[Clemont]], [[Emma]], and [[AZ]] arrived at the control room, where they found X had already been defeated. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key but were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X and his friends successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow Xerneas to escape back to the surface with X and the others. When Malva attempted to confront X's group with Yveltal, Lysandre ordered a ceasefire due to it and Xerneas being evenly matched. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking X and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on X's friends and the Gym Leaders. They moved operations to the [[Pokémon Village]] to keep a low profile. When Xerosic later discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are an older form of the absorber, Team Flare began using them to drain the life energy of the Pokémon living at the village. These actions earned Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who protected the Pokémon Village. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', X and {{adv|Blue}} found Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo at the village. Hoping to have Mewtwo weakened enough for capture, Lysandre tried to trick it into attacking X and Blue, only for [[Blaine]] to arrive and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into its Y form.

In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and used a device to control her like a puppet. By talking into the device, Essentia would repeat Lysandre's words, allowing him to command the {{adv|Zygarde}} she had caught earlier. While Blaine and Mewtwo kept Zygarde still, X defeated Essentia, uncovering her true identity as his friend Emma. With some words of encouragement from X and [[Cassius]], Emma betrayed Lysandre, but was attacked by his Gyarados before she could command Zygarde. Lysandre took Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]], only for {{adv|Y}} to arrive and take his Mega Ring. Although he was angered by this, Lysandre made an announcement to the entire Kalos region, informing the public of Team Flare's plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. By borrowing Key Stones from his allies, X was able to activate Mega Evolution for his entire team at once.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Lysandre used Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. As the battle went on, X's friends noticed Zygarde's body was breaking apart due to Xerneas and Yveltal reverting to their tree and cocoon forms. Once they fully reverted, X had his team launch one final attack, fully separating Zygarde. Malva attempted to save Lysandre from falling, only for both to land onto the rubble below. Heavily injured, Lysandre weakly asked Malva why the ultimate weapon had not yet been fired. Afterward, Blaine revealed Lysandre was alive, but had sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord.

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* Lysandre's cybernetic suit, the Lysandre Machine, was meant to be used to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} power into the [[ultimate weapon]].
** In the anime, its functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the [[Giant Rock]]. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the latter of which wasn't available at the time of X and Y's release.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* In the anime, Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a special episode, and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** Also in the anime, Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time in X and Y, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], though he does not wear it at any point as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in the [[core series]] who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* In the anime, Lysandre is the first villainous team leader whom {{Ash}} defeated in a battle.
** He was also the first villainous team leader in the anime since {{an|Giovanni}} to be shown to use Pokémon of his own, instead of just controlling one or more Legendary Pokémon.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' until she decided to return home.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew at [[Cerulean City]] in the [[Kanto]] region with her [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Eventually, Misty became one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders prior to ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Archipelago]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.
[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef, and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash, and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., Misty and Andreas battled each other in order to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.
[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|left|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she narrowly lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Misty never physically appeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a [[Multi Battle]], but she and her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} lost against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Moves]], she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After a trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.
[[File:Misty catching Clauncher.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty after catching a Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Misty and Ash traveled to [[Galar]]. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}}, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Misty joined Ash to rescue a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', Misty joined Ash to give {{p|Banette}} a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to {{p|Banette}}. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty attempted to aid [[James's Mime Jr.]], who seeming defected from its Trainer, in locating [[Officer Jenny]] to refer their latest plot. She held off [[James's Yamask]] and [[Jessie's Frillish]] with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessed {{an|Latias}}' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friend {{p|Latios}} escaping confinement.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:The gang.png|thumb|220px|Misty and her friends]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]].

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her love for Water-type Pokémon]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.
[[File:Misty Cascade Badge.png|thumb|250px|Misty holding a Cascade Badge]]
Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's own methods. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.
[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}. When asked how she feels about dual typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as {{p|Dewpider}}, Misty replied with "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Misty party JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty and some of her Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon. Pokémon listed as "in rotation" were seen in her team in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of [[The Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Misty is the only main character with a game counterpart to not have any of her main outfits influenced by those worn by [[Misty|her game counterpart]].
* Out of all of [[Ash's friends]], Misty:
** Holds the record of having the most Pokémon [[Party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
** Is the first one to have challenged a [[Gym]], albeit an unofficial one, as shown in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
** Is the first one to have released a non-temporary Pokémon permanently.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty:
** Has appeared in the most amount of episodes, at 296.
** Has owned the most Pokémon, at 12.
** Is the first one to have had a full team of six Pokémon on hand, having done so thrice. {{an|Dawn}} would be the only other female character to have a full party on hand.
** Is the only one to own more than one Pokémon of a given evolutionary family, those being {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name ('''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'', meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}) references the floral theme behind the name of her older sisters: {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. In all other languages, her name references water.

* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]], and then switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned their children and the Cerulean Gym due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old. She also went to school at a girls-only school, with the closest she had to any significant encounter with someone of the opposite sex before meeting Ash was during the third grade where she lured a boy behind the gymnasium to tell him off for picking on one of her friends and beating him up.
* Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing," it would be for something else like a battle.
** In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', however, Misty returned as a long-term traveling companion of Ash in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

'''Primal Dialga''' (Japanese: '''やみのディアルガ''' ''Dark Dialga'') is the main antagonist of {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. It is located at the pinnacle of [[Temporal Tower]], and is the final boss of the game's main storyline.

Primal Dialga is actually {{p|Dialga}} after losing control of its ability to manipulate time due to the collapse of the Temporal Tower. In this form, it is also incapable of logical reasoning or showing mercy, only seeking self-preservation and preventing time from flowing properly. The {{player}} must return the [[Time Gear]]s to the tower to restore the flow of time, calm down Dialga, and prevent the future where darkness rules.

Like all Dialga, this one is treated as gender unknown for gameplay purposes; however, it is addressed with masculine pronouns in dialogue.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
===History===
====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]====
The Primal Dialga state is a result of {{mdc|Darkrai|2}}'s act of stealing the [[Time Gear]]s; with the flow of time disrupted, Dialga becomes corrupted along with time itself. In an alternate future, [[Temporal Tower]] collapses, sending Dialga into an uncontrollable rage and reducing it to a being running on primal instinct. In this state, it seeks only self-preservation, and does whatever is necessary to thwart any attempt to alter the past (and subsequently erase it from existence). When {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and the player go back in time, Dialga sends its henchman {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}} back in time as well to stop them. Primal Dialga is first seen after Dusknoir drags the player and their partner back to the future, where Primal Dialga orders Dusknoir to eliminate them. He then assists his six {{p|Sableye}} in trying to stop the group from going back in time once more, but fails due to the partner's quick thinking; Primal Dialga stops Celebi's [[time travel]] before they can reach the Passage of Time, but this still isn't enough to prevent their escape.

Once the player and partner reach the summit of [[Temporal Tower]], the present day Dialga attacks them, believing they've come to destroy the Tower due to being in the process of transforming into Primal Dialga. They manage to defeat him and save the tower, restoring time and Dialga to their normal states, after which he thanks the player and their partner, grateful for all they've done. The future Primal Dialga, Grovyle, Dusknoir, and the player are all erased from existence, as they come from a future which no longer exists. Several months after the [[Temporal Tower]] incident, upon feeling the partner's renewed and intensely strong sorrow at the loss of their friend, the present day Dialga returns the player to life as a show of gratitude for repairing the flow of time and the player's sacrifice.

=====[[In the Future of Darkness]]=====
[[File:Primal Dialga artwork.png|thumb|left|240px|Primal Dialga artwork]]
As revealed in the {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} Special Episode [[In the Future of Darkness]], before they are erased from existence, Primal Dialga proceeds to punish Dusknoir for his failure, as well as Grovyle for trying to change the past. However, they escape, and eventually it's revealed that Primal Dialga's order was a plot for Dusknoir to take over Grovyle's body and return to the past to alter it. What Primal Dialga didn't count on was Dusknoir sympathizing with Grovyle and saving him at the last second; in response to this, Primal Dialga viciously attacks Dusknoir for his betrayal. In that moment, time starts to flow as a result of the player's victory in the past, and the returning flow of time affects Primal Dialga, causing it to go completely berserk and act on pure instinct, which leads it to the Passage of Time at the peak of [[Vast Ice Mountain]]. Primal Dialga then battles Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi, but is beaten. After the dark future is erased, Dialga, Dusknoir, Grovyle, and Celebi are spared, and Dialga is restored to its normal state of being. Unlike his past self, Dialga states that this action was beyond his abilities and informs them they were likely saved by {{p|Arceus|a being even more powerful than him}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
Primal Dialga has the body shape of a normal {{p|Dialga}}, but the color scheme is different. The blue color in its body is changed to dark navy blue, the "streamers" are recolored to orange, and the diamond in the chest is altered from blue to a cherry shade red, which is a sign of its berserk and savage state. This is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], which represents the collapsing structure of time itself, resulting in complete loss of self-control. The subsequent violent and unrestrained behavior combined with its strength earns it the name of "Primal Dialga".

The Primal Dialga battled at Temporal Tower has some differences to the one from the future Grovyle comes from; when battled, Dialga still has a shred of its self left, and thus is not completely "primal" yet. This is shown by the future Primal Dialga only being able to communicate with growls and roars (which Dusknoir apparently understands), while not-quite-Primal Dialga is able to directly speak to the player and their partner using broken words interwoven with these growls and roars. This present day Dialga also attacks the player's team with the intention of protecting the tower and the structure of time, a contrast to the Primal Dialga who opposed these goals through a desire for self-preservation.

[[File:Primal Dialga anime.png|thumb|220px|Primal Dialga in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Dialga made two very brief appearances in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''. It first appeared in its normal appearance in the opening sequence, and then it appeared at the end of the special as Primal Dialga, though it was a mere silhouette.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team===
[[File:Primal Dialga BET.png|thumb|200px|right|Primal Dialga in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team]]
Primal Dialga appears as a major antagonist in this manga, serving the same role he has in the games. He first makes his appearance in the Dark Future, where Dusknoir takes him to attack [[Honō]], {{OBP|Totodile|Blazing Exploration Team}}, and Grovyle. Despite Dialga's intimidating presence, Honō is unfazed by it and attempts to attack, only to be retaliated with a blast of energy. Having no choice, the group attempts to use Celebi's powers to escape back in time, only for Dialga to make their efforts pointless with its own control over time.

After managing to get back in time when Celebi sacrifices herself, Honō and Totodile make their way to the Temporal Tower so that they can prevent the present-day Dialga from turning into its destructive Primal form. Upon arriving, they encounter a much less violent Dialga, who believes that the two are attempting to the destroy the tower and plans on stopping them. During the battle, the tower continuously collapses, causing Dialga pain and turning him into the feral Primal Dialga little by little.

After a long battle, Dialga is finally defeated when Totodile puts the five Time Gears into their slots, fixing the Temporal Tower and turning Dialga back to normal. Now back to normal, he thanks the two for their courage to stand up to him. When the result of changing history causes Honō to disappear from existence, Dialga uses his power to bring him back to life once he senses how sad Totodile was.

==Trivia==
*Although Primal Dialga has lost control of its power, it can still warp through time and use its [[signature move]] {{m|Roar of Time}}.
*Six years after Primal Dialga's introduction, [[Primal Reversion]] was announced, with the Pokémon who have used Primal Reversion being identified by the word "Primal" in front of their names, like Primal Dialga. However, Primal Reversion is unrelated to this Pokémon, as Primal Dialga is referred to as "Dark Dialga" in Japan, whereas the Pokémon who undergo Primal Reversion are referred to as "Primal" in Japan.
* The Dialga the player can recruit in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} is [[Connection Orb|connected to]] {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, implying it to be the same Dialga that the player helped in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky.

'''Lusamine''' (Japanese: '''ルザミーネ''' ''Lusamine'') is the head of the [[Aether Foundation]]. She is the {{cat|Trainers with unique classes|only character}} in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Aether President''' (Japanese: '''エーテルだいひょう''' ''Aether President'').

==In the core series games==
===Charcter profile===
Lusamine is the main antagonist of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, running the [[Aether Foundation]] as their president. Early on in the [[generation VII]] titles, not much is known about the character until her meet with the player at [[Aether Paradise]]. Lusamine is described as a lovely beautiful woman who wishes for the protection of all Pokémon, both in and out of [[Alola]]. Due to this, Lusamine can be seen as quite motherly, loving all those hurt Pokémon as if they were her own children. She seems to have a knack for fashion, stating that her looks are a result of the right outfit and style, and is unhesitant to suggest changes to another's wardrobe <ref> Lusamine, {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"Oh, you! The right style does wonders, you know. And, Hau, your style is a bit wanting, hm? I'll have to take you out sometime and help you pick a smashing outfit."''</ref>

Lusamine's kindness eventually changed over the course of the Alola-based games, becoming obsessed with [[Ultra Beast]]s and even putting her own children in neglect. During this facade, Lusamine appears to care not for anyone that does not give her her own positive attention, blaming her own kids and their [[friend]]s for own rude neglectful behavior. This has also resulted in abuse of Pokémon, storing them in her trophy room on Aether Paradise under cyrogensis. While under the influence of {{p|Nihilego}}, her emotions become much more abrasive and violent, even willing to lash out attack her [[Lillie|daughter]] and the {{player}}. Lusamine's daughter, [[Lillie]], makes the statement in Sun and Moon that Lusamine was once a very kindhearted woman before her obsessiveness nature with Ultra Beasts had taken over. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, her relationship with Nihilego is removed, but her obession remains, looking into the protection of the Alola [[region]] and being unmindful of the harm she has caused to others. Her destructive and abusive nature had caused both her children, [[Lillie]] and [[Gladion]] to leave, each stealing a Pokémon from the foundation and leaving Paradise.

Lusamine's had a husband by the name of [[Mohn]] who had previously worked at the Aether Foundation before his disappearance. The two had had two children, their son [[Gladion]] and their daughter, [[Lillie]]. Before the start of the Alola-based games, it is known that Lusamine had treated her children with love and care, with Lillie particularly mentioning a time where her and Lusamine had once played out in the rain together and getting sick. She is known to have dressed both Gladion and Lillie in clothes they did not wish to wear. This had resulted in Lillie's outfit resembling that of a Nihilego. Lusamine's father. the previous Aether President, was a wealthy man and was known to love Pokémon, creating Aether to protect them. Lusamine lives in the mansion that resides on Aether Paradise.

===Appearance===
[[File:Lusamine Concept Art.png|thumb|right|Lusamine's appearance in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]
Lusamine is an over 40 year-old woman with long blonde hair. Her hair falls behind her back and reaches down towards her knees. Her hair is straight and divided into several sections forming blunt ends that wrap around her body. Bangs falls over left eye. Her stock art displays several purple strands. She has a ponytail that sits on top of her hair, topped with a dark green gemstone that is framed with gold-metal holding the gemstone, acting as a hair decoration. Lusamine has round, but slanted eyes that are known change shape for expression, displayign thick eye liner when she smiles. Her irises are green with a yellow triangualr glar towards the bottom. Her irises lose detail when upset and her eyes become sharper when angry. She has three eyelashes on each eye. Her children take after her platinum-blonde hair color and lime-green eyes.

Lusamine has mainly skinnier build, with her legs mostly taking her height. She wears a white-short sleevless dress that reaches down to her upper thigh. Her collar appears to have no end at her neck and keeps the white, it is cuffed with a gold decoration that wraps around her neck. On her chest is a large dark green gemstone in the shape of a diamond and plated with a gold-metal frame holding said gemstone. Two lines go horizontally across her dress benether her chest. While the skirt goes down to her thighs, it is also topped with another tranlucent yellow frill-like decoration with a cut on the side that drapes down from the bottom line that begins under her chest. Lusamine has a pair of long black and white stockings that reach down to her ankles. Her shoes are high-heeled shoes with an dopenign on the front, locked with a single strap. The shoes are mainly black with two black gemstones on both sides of each foot. The heels are plated in gold-metal and give her more lift than expected, providing an unnatural height. The soles of these shoes are a pattern-less teal-color.

====Nihilego fusion====
{{main|Nihilego (Pokémon)}}
[[File:Lusamine Concept Art SM 4.jpg|thumb|left|Lusamien acting as Nihilego's host]]
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Lusamine fuses with the [[Ultra Beast]], {{p|Nihilego}}. While it is mainly Nihilego who takes upon a new shape, Lusamine's design is altered as well, Her hair becomes black in color with all previously purple strands turning into blonde. Her hari has elongated and flows, sitting on the bottom of Nihilego's bell. Her irises turn the yellow color that was once previously used for the glare. All previous gemstones and decoration on her outfit vanish from he rbody, with the yellow frills on her skirt changing to a deep purple color. The lower half of the main outfit becomes a black color, becoming indistinguishable with her now black and purple leggings that lack any detail and have no shoes. Her arms are hidden behind her hair, but otherwise her shoulders can be seen. Her legs dangle from outside the Nihilego's bell.

Lusamine can control 4 front the tentacles on Nihilego's body, with 4 fingers on each of these tentacles that can bend and grab things such as [[Poké Ball]]s. Lusamine's fainting after fusion is unknown but is assumed to be either by the Pokémon's neurotoxins, the stress of the fusion, or the strain of the [[Z-Power]] that the Nihilego had.
{{-}}

===[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]===
{{Spoilers}}
====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb''': ''"The lovely Lusamine functions as the Aether Foundation’s president."''

Lusamine first appears in {{g|Sun and Moon}} in a picture of a magazine that the {{player}} was reading before talking with [[Professor Kukui]] about their [[Trainer Passport]]. Until then, she makes no appearance and is formally introduced after the [[Akala]] Grand Trial, when [[Hau]] and the player travel to [[Aether Paradise]]. Lusamine took the ownership and presidency of the [[Aether Foundation]] from her father, a wealthy man who loved Pokémon and had built Aether paradise to protect them. Like her father, Lusamine claims to love all Pokémon. Lusamine acts like a mother to the Pokémon kept at Aether Paradise. Her family owns the [[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|MUM}} that was once sitting at [[Ula'ula Island|Ula'ula's]] Lake. Lusamine has a taste for fashion.

Due to her obsessive behavior with [[Ultra Beast]]s, she became a controlling mother. Dressing her children up the way she wanted to. It is implied multiple times throughout the story, that the way Lillie dresses, is because of Lusamine, and that her appearance resembles that of {{p|Nihilego}}.

====Meeting at Aether Paradise====
The player meets [[Faba]] on [[Akala Island]], after helping him with a task, he invites them and their friends on a tour of Aether Paradise, to which both the player and [[Hau]] agree to, while [[Lillie]] nervously declines. After their [[grand trial]] with [[island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Olivia]], [[Wicke]] brings the two to the Conservation Area of Aether Paradise, where Lusamine is waiting. Lusamine introduces herself to them, explaining that she is a mother to all Pokémon, protecting those who may be lost or suffering, regardless of where they come from, including those from other [[dimension]]s. Hau makes mention of Lusamine's looks, saying that she looks rather young and it is amazing how she has done all that she has with the foundation at her age. Lusamine enjoys the boy's remark, but corrects him, explaining that she is already over 40 years old, and she simply has the right outfit to make her look younger. She asks if her the player and Hau would like some new outfits to better fit her personal taste. The two decline, with Hau saying ''"I don't think anyone else could pull off that kind of look! Except maybe Lillie...",'' Lusamine takes note of this but brushes it off and says that children are better off listening to the adults around them.

At this point, Aether Paradise begins to shake. This seems to originate from their labs on the basement floor, where they test new kinds of [[Poké Ball]]s, and disrupts the facility. An [[Ultra Wormhole]] emerges in front of the group, and from it, a then unnamed [[Ultra Beast]] by the name of {{p|Nihilego}} appears. The player battles the beast, being directed by Hau to protect the president. Lusamine sees the Ultra Beast, and identifies it as being hurt, wishing to help it and will treat it like any other Pokémon. The player defeats the Nihilego and it returns back to the Ultra Wormhole to where it came. Lusamine tells Wicke to bring the two trial goers back to their [[island challenge]] and send them [[Ula'ula Island]], while she talks with Faba to see what exactly happened downstairs.

====Kidnapping====
On [[Ula'ula Island]], [[Plumeria]] remarks to Lillie that [[Team Skull]] are not the only thieves in [[Alola]], and that Lillie ought to return [[Nebby]], Lillie's {{p|Cosmog}}, back to where she found it. The Team Skull Admin takes the young girl away, Hau being unable to stop her. Lillie goes with her willingly to avoid anyone getting hurt. [[Gladion]], a boy who Hau and the player have met several times before, takes the duo to Aether Paradise, where he is certain that Lillie is at. By the time the three of them arrive, all the {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee|employees}} are suddenly hostile to them including [[Faba]], who had locked down Lusamine's office under her orders. The three of them make it into Aether Paradise's labs, learning about the experiments done to Cosmog and {{p|Type: Null}}. Gladion explains his history with Type: Null, and how his mother wasn't a very nice person, being forced to always wear what she wanted. The player can then read Faba's blog in this room, learning that his superior's child, had stolen one of the Type: Null. The trio then makes it back up stairs and goes outside towards the mansion, where a number of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s and [[Guzma]], their boss, are lined up in front, implying an alliance with the Aether Foundation.

After a battle with Guzma, Hau and Gladion take out the remaining grunts. When the player enters the building, they find an upset Lillie in the same room as Lusamine, with the former begging Lusamine to come to her senses. Lusamine is not fazed by it, and berates Lillie for leaving her and claims she was never her daughter, before teleporting into another room via a pad hidden behind her mirror. Lillie and the player step on the pad too, and teleport into the room her mother went to. When they arrive, Lusamine taunts them to come closer. Afterwards, Lillie and the player are horrified to see that she has a collection of frozen Pokémon scattered about the room, "protected" for all eternity.

Hau arrives, together with Gladion. Lusamine is disgusted by her son's arrival, as he and Lillie had both stolen her Pokémon, a Type: Null and Cosmog, and had ran away from her. Gladion does not try to reason with her, deciding it is impossible at this point. Lusamine, frustrated, exclaims that she gave all her love to her children, only for them to reject it all and run away. Nebby is then revealed to be inside a cage that Lusamine is holding, and reveals that the gases from Cosmog's body can be used to create Ultra Wormholes, but the entire Pokémon can be used to a greater effect. Lillie pleads her not to use its power, as using it would cause Nebby to die. Lusamine, however, acts as though she does not consider her statements, and uses the machine anyway, opens up an Ultra Wormhole in the room, and multiple others on the various islands of [[Alola]]. This alerts the [[Guardian deities]] and the island kahunas on each of the island, who prepare to deal with the Ultra Beasts that are appearing in the region.

Guzma arrives, asking Lusamine whether the experiment was a success, and Nihilego materializes behind her. Gladion commands the player to battle Lusamine, while Hau takes care of Guzma and he battles any onslaught of Ultra Beasts that may come from the wormhole. Regardless if the player has won or lost to the woman, Lusamine and Guzma jump into the Ultra Wormhole and disappear into the portal alongside the Nihilego. The cage drops from Lusamine's hands and breaks open, Nebby comes from inside, having [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Cosmoem}}, although nobody seems to be aware of this. This change of events has caused Lillie to attempt to be a more confident person, changing her look, and wishing to save Cosmog, and her beast-obsessed mother. She leaves to go on a journey with the player to [[Poni Island]].

====[[Ultra Space]]====
On [[Exeggutor Island]], the player and Lillie go looking for the missing flute, the counterpart that to the one her family has already owned. As it begins to rain, Lillie explains some history with her mother. Lusamine wasn't always a bad person, she was in fact, a really sweet and lovely mother. Lillie recalls a time, where she had gone out to play in the rain all by herself. This had upset her mother, who had came outside to bring her back in so Lillie wouldn't get sick. The two girls instead started playing and dancing in the rain together, both winding up sick. Lusamine brought her daughter inside, having Lillie sleep with her as they recover from their cold.

At Poni's Altar, Lillie and the player summon the [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, finding out that Nebby had been this Pokémon the entire time. Nebby flies them into [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]], and discover a terrified Guzma, who has given up working with Lusamine because of his newfound fear of Nihilego possessing him, and claims she is immune to reason at this point. Lillie disagrees, and runs off to confront her mother. When they arrive at an open terrace, she is nowhere to be found, only to phase into visibility and appear sitting on a rock in front of them. Lillie continues what she was saying to her mother back at Aether Paradise, along with trying to persuade her to come back to Alola.

[[File:Lusamine Nihilego fused.png|thumb|300px|right|''"And with Nihilego's power, I will show you how wrong you were to come here!"'']]
Guzma turned out to be correct, as Lusamine says she would rather not come back to Alola, and that Lillie "could not even be that stupid". She boasts about how Ultra Space is beautiful, that Nihilego is all she cares about now, and that Lillie became ugly after leaving her and making friends with the player. Lusamine then turns her attention to the player blaming them for her daughter's change, in which she immediately battles them, but not before merging with a Nihilego to become a pseudo-beast herself. During that battle, Lusamine's Pokémon team are enveloped of the [[Totem Pokémon]]'s same special aura which increases their stats, [[Z-Power]].

After losing, Lusamine becomes enraged and attempts to strike Lillie and the player with one of her many large tentacles she has control of. Lillie calls out to Nebby, who proceed to roar and emit energy at Lusamine, separating her from Nihilego. Nihilego returns to the [[Beast Ball]] it had originally came from it, and Lillie gets a hold of her. Before passing out, she shares a moment with her daughter, reaching out to her face and asks Lillie when she had started becoming beautiful. Lillie, Guzma and the player bring her back home to Alola. They meet up with [[Hapu]], who had been traveling with the player and Lillie the entire way through Poni making sure nobody had gotten hurt. Hapu brings the fainted Lusamine back to Aether Paradise on her {{p|Mudsdale}}. Lusamine is never seen in person again after this.

====Ending====
At [[Iki Town]]'s festival, Lillie tells the player she believes Lusamine is getting a bit better, having even tried to go to the player's celebration of becoming champion, and that she has been gently trying to help her mother understand the error of her ways. The following day, Lillie the leaves for the [[Kanto]] region to seek treatment for her mother from [[Bill]] (who, like Lusamine, has been combined with a Pokémon before) in the hopes that it will heal her of the last of Nihilego's poisons. While not seen, Lusamine leaves for Kanto with Lillie, and Gladion takes up Lusamine's role as Aether President in her absence.

Lusamine is one of the few characters to not appear in the photographs during the credits. However, [[Lusamine's Clefable]] and {{p|Bewear}} both make an appearance with the Aether Foundation with happy expressions on their faces.

When spoken to in the post-game, Gladion speculates that Lusamine's fixation with the Ultra Beasts may have started when his father and Lusamine's wife, Professor [[Mohn]], had vanished during his study of the Ultra Wormholes and, in an ill-fated attempt to find him, eventually grew obsessed with the Ultra Beasts to the point of monomania, as a way of trying to get to him. Wicke and Lillie suggests three possible reasons for Lusamine's fainting in Ultra Space, this could have been a result of the neurotoxins Nihilego had injected into her, the overwhelming amount of Z-Power surrounding her, or because of the literal funsion with Nihilego itself.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
====Background and pre-game====
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Lusamine's goals and background are slightly changed. While her personality and character largely remains the same, the context of how she is presented is changed. The introductory to the character largely remains the same. She makes no in-person appearance until after the player has completed their [[Akala]] Grand Trial. Lusamine took the ownership and presidency of the [[Aether Foundation]] from her father, a wealthy man who loved Pokémon and had built Aether Paradise to protect them. Like her father, Lusamine claims to love all Pokémon. Lusamine acts like a mother to the Pokémon kept at Aether Paradise. She has a taste for fashion. Her family owns the [[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|MUM}} that was once sitting at [[Ula'ula Island|Ula'ula's]] Lake.

====Meeting at Aether Paradise====
The player meets [[Faba]] on [[Akala Island]], after helping him with a task, he invites them and their friends on a tour of Aether Paradise, to which both the player and [[Hau]] agree to, while [[Lillie]] nerviously declines. After their [[grand trial]], [[Wicke]] brings the two to the Conservation Area of Aether Paradise, where Lusamine is waiting. Lusamine introduces herself to them, explaining that she is a mother to all Pokémon, protecting those who may be lost or suffering, regardless if they may have come from [[Alola]] or not. Hau makes mention of Lusamine's looks, saying that she looks rather young and it is amazing how she has done all that she has with the foundation at her age. Lusamine enjoys the boy's remark, but corrects him, explaining that she is already over 40 years old, and she simply just has the right outfit to make her look younger. She asks if her the player would like some new outfits to better fit her personal taste. The two decline, with Hau saying ''"I don't think anyone else could pull off that kind of look! Except maybe Lillie...",'' Lusamine takes note of this but brushes it off and says that Children are better off listening to the adults around them.

At this point, shaking from Aether Paradise's labs, the basement floor, where they test new kinds of [[Poké Ball]]s disrupts the facility. An [[Ultra Wormhole]] emerges in front of the group, and from it, a then unnamed [[Ultra Beast]] by the name of {{p|Nihilego}} appears. The player battles the beasts, being directed by Hau to protect the president. Lusamine sees the Ultra Beast, and idenifies it as being hurt, wishing to help it and will treat it like any other Pokémon. The player defeats the Nihilego and it returns back to the Ultra Wormhole to where it came. the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] immediately show up, upon which Lusamine explains that they are assisting the Aether Foundation in researching Ultra Beasts. Lusamine tells Wicke to bring the two trial goers back to their [[island challenge]] and send them [[Ula'ula Island]], while she talks with Faba to see what exactly happened downstairs.

====Kidnapping====
On [[Ula'ula Island]], [[Plumeria]] remarks to Lillie that [[Team Skull]] are not the only thieves in Alola, and that Lillie ought to return [[Nebby]], Lillie's {{p|Cosmog}}. The Team Skull Admin takes the young girl away, Hau being unable to stop her. Lillie goes with her willingly to avoid anyone getting hurt. [[Gladion]], a boy who Hau and the player have met several times before, takes the duo to Aether Paradise, where he is certain that Lillie is at. By the time the three of them arrive, all the {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee|employees}} are suddenly hostile to them including [[Faba]], who had locked down Lusamine's office under her orders. The three of them make it into Aether Paradise's labs, learning about experiments done to Cosmog and {{p|Type: Null}}. Gladion explains his history with Type: Null, and how his mother wasn't a very nice person, being forced to always wear what she wanted. The player can then read Faba's blog in this room, learning that his superior's child, had stolen one of the Type: Null. The trio then makes it back up stairs and goes outside towards the mansion, where a number of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s and [[Guzma]], their boss, are present, implying an alliance with the Aether Foundation.

After a battle with Guzma, Hau and Gladion take out the remaining grunts. When the player enters the building, they find an upset Lillie in the same room as Lusamine, with the former begging Lusamine to come to her senses. Lusamine is not fazed by it, and berates Lillie for leaving her and claims she was never her daughter, before teleporting into another room via a pad hidden behind her mirror. Lillie and the player step on the pad too, and teleport into the room her mother went to. When they arrive, Lusamine taunts them to come closer. Afterwards, Lillie and the player are horrified to see that she has a collection of frozen Pokémon scattered about the room, "protected" for all eternity.

Hau arrives with Gladion, who tries to reason with her, not wanting his mother to disappear just like his father did. Lusamine, however, dismisses his concerns, and challenges the player to a battle to prove her strength. Regardless of the outcome, Lusamine remarks that the player should just resume their island challenge. She reassures everyone that she will be fine because Guzma will be accompanying her, but rejects Gladion's request to join her as well, repeating her line that children would be better off listening to the adults around them. Guzma arrives shortly, and using the cube containing Nebby, Lusamine opens up a large wormhole in the room. Lusamine disappears into the Ultra Wormhole, and Guzma follows.

====Ending====
Lusamine is not seen again until after the player reaches the Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|US}}/Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|UM}} and Nebby, now a Cosmoem, evolves into Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. An Ultra Wormhole suddenly appears, ejecting both Guzma and Lusamine, and out comes Necrozma, who captures and fuses with the newly-evolved Nebby. After being battled, Necrozma steals the light from Alola and disappears into an Ultra Wormhole, and the Ultra Recon Squad, having witnessed the battle, arrives at the altar. Lusamine makes a request to use of the Ultra Recon Squad's Legendary Pokémon to travel Ultra Space, but [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Phyco]]{{sup/7|UM}} berates her in response. After the player defeats Necrozma at [[Ultra Megalopolis]] and returns to the Altar, a humbled Lusamine admits to Lillie that she was right to take Cosmog away. She hands the player three [[Beast Ball]]s before taking Lillie back to Aether Paradise to care for the weakened Nebby.

After the player's victory celebration, Lusamine is seen waving goodbye to Gladion at the docks as he sails off to [[Kanto]], much to the latter's pleasant surprise.

====Episode RR and post-game====
In [[Episode RR]], Lusamine is kidnapped by [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] and held hostage by [[Giovanni]]. When the player finally reaches Giovanni, Lusamine is seen lying unconscious on the floor. Giovanni states that he has used the power of an Ultra Beast to make her sleep, and claims that he will brainwash her to serve Team Rainbow Rocket. She awakens after Giovanni is defeated and the mansion is restored. Upon finding out about Faba's attempt to betray the Aether Foundation to Team Rainbow Rocket, Lusamine demotes him to intern.

If spoken to after becoming Champion, Lusamine will express remorse for everything she has done, vowing to better herself as a protector of Pokémon and a mother to Gladion and Lillie without interfering with either again. On the first day of every month, Lusamine can appear at the {{al|Pokémon League}} to challenge the player to a [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|Title Defense]] battle, replacing Faba from Sun and Moon.

After Gladion is defeated at the Pokémon League, Mohn will pay a visit to Aether Paradise, during which Lusamine will see him for the first time since his disappearance. Though surprised to see him once again, she chooses not to tell him about his past, believing that he seems happy enough as he is. The two share a tender conversation and Lusamine finally says goodbye to him with all the pain in her heart, but glad to see him happy and safe.

===Pokémon===
Lusamine's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

Sometime prior to the events of the game, [[Gladion]] had stolen a Type: Null, managing to evolve it by the end of the game.

Gladion gives the player another Type: Null in Sun and Moon, while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, this Type: Null is provided to the player by [[Wicke]] from Gladion. The where abouts of the third Type: Null is unknown.}}

Lusamine forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Pheromosa}}, and {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}} {{p|Necrozma}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Her Necrozma can use [[Ultra Burst]] to become Ultra Necrozma. Lusamine became a playable sync pair on September 10, 2020.

In this game, Lusamine is based on her appearance in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as she mentions previously meeting a Necrozma that she considered "a menace to be defeated... before it could steal all the world's light". Lusamine also doesn't seem to have been possessed/poisoned by {{p|Nihilego}}, and there is no mention of her recovery, either.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lusamine Adventures.png|thumb|120px|Lusamine in Pokémon Adventures]]
Lusamine is the head of the [[Aether Foundation]] and the mother of [[Lillie]] and [[Gladion]]. Despite her organization being dedicated to the conservation of Pokémon, Lusamine's true goal is to make a paradise only for herself and the [[Ultra Beast]]s she covets.

Lusamine debuted in ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]''. She was first seen at Aether Paradise talking to an {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}} who had finished filming a commercial for their organization.

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', [[Lillie]] was reminded of a painful memory of when she was forcibly made to dress in her current attire by Lusamine against her wishes.

In ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', six months after the beginning of the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Lusamine had managed to capture a large group of Ultra Beasts that appeared in Alola. At [[Poni Island]], she played with the Ultra Beasts, claiming that they would never leave her side.

[[File:Lusamine Nihilego fused Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Lusamine fused with Nihilego]]
In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', Lusamine received a large amount of [[Beast Ball]]s from [[Colress]]. She revealed her next goal was to capture {{p|Necrozma}}, the Pokémon worshiped as the "Blinding One" by the people of the [[Ultra Megalopolis]]. Afterward, [[Phyco]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] arrived at the [[Poni Altar]] to take Lusamine to the Ultra Megalopolis. After seeing the wild {{p|Naganadel}} Phyco used to travel through [[Ultra Space]], Lusamine demonstrated the Beast Ball's power by using one to catch it. She then requested that Phyco take her to Naganadel's habitat before heading to their actual destination. After arriving at the Ultra Megalopolis, Lusamine, Phyco, and several {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s found Necrozma battling {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}}. Lusamine's presence angered Sun, who claimed that she was responsible for taking away his [[Sun's great-grandfather|great-grandfather]]'s island. Offended by Sun's claim, Lusamine sent out a {{p|Nihilego}} and had it fuse with her.

In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', the fused Lusamine and her team attacked {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} Necrozma to capture it. With one of the Beast Balls dropped in the fight, Sun caught a {{p|Stakataka}} and used it to attack Lusamine, who retaliated by sending out her other Ultra Beasts. When Necrozma fled to [[Megalo Tower]], Lusamine and her Ultra Beasts followed it. At the top, Lusamine expressed anger that Necrozma refused to listen to her before being hit by one of its attacks. Afterwards, Lusamine was sucked into a wormhole Necrozma created, dropping her back to Alola.

Later, Lillie, Sun, [[Sina]], [[Dexio]], and [[Samson Oak]] found a barely-conscious Lusamine on the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]]. Lillie confronted her mother, revealing to her that [[Mohn]] was still alive in Alola somewhere. Overwhelmed with emotion, Lusamine separated from Nihilego, but passed out immediately afterward. Sun tried getting Lusamine to a hospital, only to notice that Necrozma had arrived. As such, Lillie and Gladion started taking her down the mountain instead while Sun stayed to fight Necrozma. Along the way, they were attacked by [[Plumeria]], whom Faba had sent to kill her as a revenge for her having rejected his lustful affection towards her once. Lillie was able to defeat Plumeria and convince her to stop her attack, saving Lusamine's life.

After the Ultra Beast thteat had been ended, Lillie decided to take her mother to [[Kanto]] in order to get help in curing her from Nihilego's toxins from {{adv|Bill|another person who had experienced fusing with a Pokémon}}.

'''Darkrai''' (Japanese: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is the overarching antagonist of {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. Though he mainly appears in the post-ending plot, he is revealed in the end to have orchestrated the events of the entire game.

Although normally gender unknown, this Darkrai is referred to as a male, but during gameplay, it is still treated as gender unknown.

==In the games==
===History===
{{spoilers}}

{{p|Darkrai}} first appears disguised as {{p|Cresselia}} in the player's dreams, telling them that they are causing a distortion in the fabric of space that could plunge the world into darkness and {{a|Bad Dreams|never ending}} {{m|nightmare}}s. He tells them this is because they came from the future and thus shouldn't exist in this place and time. When {{p|Azurill}} falls into a never ending nightmare, [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] has the player and partner go to find a reformed {{mdc|Drowzee|2}} to send them into the young Pokémon's nightmare to find out what's wrong. There, they encounter Cresselia, who tells them the same as the player was told in the dreams as well as blaming them for Azurill's nightmare and tries to destroy them but is interrupted by Drowzee and flees.

The partner is discovered to be having similar dreams, only being told it was because they'd been to the future and came back that's causing the distortion. Now very confused and upset, they decide to go see {{mdc|Palkia|2}} for an explanation. However, before they can do so, Palkia arrives in their base and takes them to his domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. He then attempts to destroy them, claiming they're distorting the fabric of space. The two manage to defeat it in battle, however, it then becomes trapped in a nightmare. Cresselia then takes them into Palkia's {{m|nightmare}} where he tries to destroy them using Palkia, who he told the team was purposely distorting space. Palkia soon begins questioning Cresselia's claims however, and before the player and partner are finished off, a second Cresselia arrives and exposes the first "Cresselia" to be Darkrai, who she'd been pursuing for a long time. Darkrai then tells them that he was the one distorting space. Darkrai escapes but offers them the chance to stop him at [[Dark Crater]].

At [[Treasure Town]], Cresselia reveals Darkrai was the one behind the near destruction of [[Temporal Tower]] and thus causing the dark future the player came from. He was seeking to make a dark world that he could rule as his own. Although Cresselia confesses that the player and their partner existence does cause some amount of distortion as Darkrai claimed, it is not large enough to be a threat on its own; Darkrai had blamed the expanding distortions he caused on them in an attempt to destroy the team because they stopped his last plan and stood in his way. She is concerned that Darkrai's challenge may be a trap, as he normally flees when confronted, but the group decides to travel to Dark Crater with Cresselia to stop him.

At the bottom of Dark Crater, they confront Darkrai, who further reveals it was also him that caused the player's memory loss and transformation into a Pokémon, by attacking him and Grovyle in the time stream. Despite this, the team prepares to battle Darkrai but he offers them the chance to join him and rule the world. It appears the partner takes it, having given up all hope of defeating Darkrai. However, when the player realizes how uncharacteristic the partner's actions are, they attack Darkrai, revealing it was a nightmare {{a|Bad Dreams|induced}} by Darkrai. Darkrai summons a group of Pokémon to assist him in eliminating the group but it proves to be useless.

Following their victory over Darkrai and his followers, Cresselia moves in on the defeated Darkrai to finish him off but Darkrai tries to escape through a dimensional hole. Though he is unsure of where, or even when, it will take him, Darkrai is confident that he'll simply be able to complete his plan in another place and time without the group's interference. Right before Darkrai can enter the Dimensional Hole, Palkia arrives to end Darkrai's meddling once and for all. Tired of Darkrai's threats to the fabric of space, Palkia attacks Darkrai moments after he entered the dimensional hole, shattering it in the process.

Darkrai survives this encounter, but, like the player before him, loses his memories and end up somewhere else in the world. As his thoughts and ambitions for world domination were also erased by this, Darkrai is deemed to no longer be a threat and the group leaves him to a fate of wandering aimlessly by himself. He can be encountered and even [[Recruitment|recruited]] in several different places after this, similar to other Pokémon players can find in a dungeon. Specifically, he appears in the [[Mystifying Forest]] (13F), [[Crevice Cave|Lower Crevice Cave]] (B2F), [[Miracle Sea]] (B3F), {{OBP|Mt. Travail|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} (17F), or [[Spacial Rift]] (B14F), as long as the player has a [[Mystery Part]] or [[Secret Slab]] in their bag.

===Personality===
Darkrai is a dangerous and cunning foe, preferring mind games and deception using his nightmare powers to outright battle. He also showed a great deal of planning, even preparing an escape route in the event the group defeated him in the final battle. He appears to be somewhat cowardly, as Cresselia says he normally flees if he's confronted and when finally confronted for the final showdown, he summons his minions to assist him instead of fighting them alone, then attempting to escape through time itself after his defeat. He is evil and has dreams of world domination, not caring if he has to destroy all of space and time if he must, so long as it creates a dark world to rule in the end.

Following the loss of his memory, Darkrai manages to completely reform into a good and noble being with a strong sense of loyalty and commitment to his cause by the time the player finds him again, since his previous personality had also been erased by that event, ultimately giving him a second chance at life.

'''Elio''' (Japanese: '''ヨウ''' ''Yō'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Selene}}.

==Terminology==
'''Elio''' (Japanese: '''ヨウ''' ''Yō'') is the most commonly used name used for this character, including in promotional videos for Sun and Moon, in merchandise, and in the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Masters EX}}. He is never directly named in the [[core series]] games or their manuals.

The promotional videos and the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version]] also refer to the character as '''Sun''' (Japanese: '''サン''' ''Sun''). Promotional videos and trailers for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon refer to him as '''Ray''' (Japanese: '''コウタ''' ''Kouta''). The game's internal data and English website simply refer to Elio as '''HERO''' or '''hero'''.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Elio is the male player character in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and because of this, he acts in the role of a silent protagonist like most other player characters in the series. Despite this, he can still make player based decisions, in most cases this will offer unique dialogue with certain characters responding or reacting in certain ways depending on how they're chosen. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Rotom Pokédex]] will act differently depending on how Elio interacts with it.

As the player character, Elio will interact with most of the game's cast, forming friendships and experience as he travels through Alola on her [[island challenge]]. He forms friendly [[rival]]ries with [[Hau]] and [[Gladion]], as well as a [[friend]]ship with [[Lillie]]. Elio inspires Hau and Lillie to improve on themselves, due to his skill level and kindness with Pokémon.

Elio's known relatives include his [[Mom (Alola)|mother]], and his unnamed father.{{sup/7|USUM}} Elio is native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] and currently resides in Alola's {{rt|1|alola}} in the [[Hau'oli City]] Outskirts, with his mother and {{p|Meowth}}. [[Professor Kukui]] considers him and Lillie to be Elio's neighbor.<ref>[[Professor Kukui]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"And that's how you met our new neighbor <player>, huh? He/She just got to Alola yesterday. Help him/her find his/her way around, yeah?"''</ref>

Elio, along with his female counterpart, Selene, and {{ga|Red}}, are the youngest core series protagonists with known ages at the time of being playable. Being at the age of eleven.

===Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version===
{{main|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version}}
Appearing as Sun (Japanese: サン ''Sun'') in the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version, they begin their adventure by opening the mail box at their house on [[Alola Route 1|Route 1]]. They open a letter given by an unknown subject, who leaves them with [[Ash's Greninja]]. Sun then goes to [[Hau'oli City]], in which they meet up with Hau and get into a fight with [[Team Skull]].

After going to the [[Pokémon Center]], Sun meets Professor Kukui and is taken to [[Ten Carat Hill]] to be introduced to trials. Being given a {{p|Pikachu}}, he is tasked to find two wild {{p|Jangmo-o}} and a {{p|Hakamo-o}} and photograph them with the [[Poké Finder]]. After completing the trial Sun is given a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. He then takes on a battle against the [[Totem Pokémon]] of the location, a Hakamo-o.

===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Sun Moon Elio.png|thumb|150px|right|Elio's artwork from {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb:''' "''You will choose to be a hero or heroine in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, and you can name yourself whatever you'd like. The story begins right after your character has moved to the Alola region. No sooner have you arrived than your adventures begin to unfold, and you'll meet many people and Pokémon as you grow and learn.''"

Elio is an 11-year-old boy who recently moved from the [[Kanto]] [[region]] to [[Melemele Island]] in the [[Alola]] region. He moved to the region along with his {{al|Mom|mother}}. Elio exclusively appears as a [[player character]].

====Start of the island challenge====
Elio begins his adventure when [[Professor Kukui]] asks to see him. After grabbing his bag and hat, he walks with the professor to [[Iki Town]] to receive his [[starter Pokémon]] from the island's [[island kahuna|kahuna]], [[Hala]]. Mistaking the young girl for the kahuna, he runs into [[Lillie]], who's {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], has escaped her bag and gets attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an [[Mahalo Trail|unsteady plank bridge]]. He quickly protects the Pokémon despite not having one of his own. After the bridge collapses, the island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two from falling. Elio quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town for Elio to choose his first Pokémon. After doing so, he gives the [[Sparkling Stone]] to Hala, receives a [[Pokédex]] from the professor, and meets [[Hau]], a [[rival]] who he be[[friend]]s and has battles with often. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Elio how to become a proper Trainer. He battles Hau once again and is given a [[Z-Ring]] by Kahuna Hala, officially starting his [[island challenge]]. Professor Kukui then updates his Pokédex to the [[Rotom Pokédex]] with a Pokémon by the name of {{p|Rotom}}, who becomes a new friend and mentor for the young trainer. After Lillie and Kukui describe the functions of Rotom Dex, Hau comes into the Pokémon Research Lab and the three learn more about their [[island challenge]]. Elio then sets out to Alola's {{al|Trainers' School}} with Lillie, who helps helps care for and teach Elio about his Pokémon. Elio gets called to the principal's office (to which Lillie and Rotom jokingly tease him for) and graduates from the school. Elio begins walking to [[Hau'oli City]] with his new friends, discussing island life and the upcoming city. As soon as they get to the new city, the three explore the island, and Hau drags Elio to the tourist bureau to upgrade Rotom Dex. After which, Elio takes a group picture with Hau and Lillie using the new function. While on his island challenge through Melemele, Elio runs into the troublesome [[Team Skull]], a group of hooligans harassing people and interfering with the island life. He clears his first trial with [[Ilima]] and gets taught how to use [[Z-Move]]s from the professor. After finding Nebby who is lost in [[Melemele Meadow]], Elio defeats Hala in his first grand trial and travels with Lillie, Hau and Kukui to the island of Akala to proceed his island challenge.

====Trials on Akala Island====
On [[Akala Island]], Elio is asked by Lillie, who is currently staying at [[Heahea City]], to help her finding more about and protecting Nebby. On his island challenge, Elio runs into another rival, Team Skull's [[Gladion]], who seems to be berating Hau for how he battles and his strength. Elio defeats the Team Skull enforcer, and goes on with his island challenge, accomplishing [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]] and [[Mallow]]'s trials. Along the way, Elio visits [[Royal Avenue]], where he meets with [[Hapu]], a young Pokémon Trainer going on a small journey herself and [[Professor Kukui|The Masked Royal]], a masked wrestler who shows her how to perform in [[Battle Royal]]s at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], as well as [[Colress]], a scientist, on {{rt|8|alola}}. Elio makes his way back down to Heahea's Dimensional Research Lab ran by Kukui's wife, [[Professor Burnet]] to learn about her research on [[dimension]]s. Going through [[Diglett's Tunnel]], Elio has a reencounter with Kahuna [[Olivia]] who agrees to do a grand trial with Elio. During their travels on {{rt|9|alola}}, they meet [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]], after helping the organization with a problem, asks to meet them at the [[Hano Grand Resort]]. Elio faces off against Olivia in a grand trial, with the nearby Lillie and Nebby enjoying the battle. Hau informs Elio about their meet with Faba, to which Lillie declines. Faba brings both Hau and Elio on a tour of [[Aether Paradise]]. There, the duo meets [[Wicke]] and the company's president, [[Lusamine]], who explains her goals of protecting Pokémon. Elio protects Lusamine from a then {{p|Nihilego|unknown}} Pokémon called an [[Ultra Beast]], reaching the artificial island through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Under the guidance of Wicke, they are sent to [[Ula'ula Island]] and regroup with Professor Kukui and Lillie after the dangerous events that took place.

====Ula'ula Island====
Elio continues his island challenge, he is informed by Lillie to visit the professor at [[Malie Garden]] and come back. Lillie requests help with research at the [[Malie Library]]. There, Elio meets with Hapu again and is given access to a book in the library by a [[Trial Captain|Captain]], [[Acerola]]. After reading The Light of Alola, Elio rides the Exeggutor Express traveling up to [[Mount Hokulani]]'s [[Hokulani Observatory|observatory]] and he learns from Professor Kukui about the now developing {{al|Pokémon League}}. Returning to Malie Garden, Elio runs into [[Guzma]], Team Skull's Boss who thinks the Pokémon League and island challenge is unnecessary. Noticing his Z-Ring, Guzma picks a fight with Elio and shows him his strength. Elio regroups with Hau and travels down to [[Tapu Village]] to stay at [[Aether House]]. Along the way, they run into Gladion once more, aggressively telling the two to protect Cosmog at all costs if they know anything about it. Lillie gets attacked by a [[Team Skull Grunt]] after breaking away from Acerola and Hapu, to which Elio jumps in and protects the young lady. After finishing his sixth trial with Acerola, Elio sets out to [[Po Town]], Team Skull's base, to rescue a {{p|Yungoos}} who was living at the orphanage. This turns out to be a scheme conducted by Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]], who Elio has fought before, kidnapping Lillie and Nebby and brings them to Aether Paradise. Overhearing the conversation, Gladion forces Elio and Hau to come with him to the facility with certain that Lillie is there.

====Rescue at Aether Paradise====
The now hostile Aether Foundation attempts to prevent the group from finding out about information on Cosmog and Lillie. Elio goes to Aether's Secret Lab B, and learns more about Cosmog, it's origins, and professor [[Mohn]]. Regrouping with Hau and Gladion, Elio takes down Team Skull and rematching their leader once more before reaching the mansion where Lillie and Lusamine are kept. Elio finds out that the President of the Aether Foundation, is in fact the mother of both Lillie and Gladion; and has an obsession with Ultra Beasts. Lillie insists to her mother that Nebby will [[death in the Pokémon world|die]] if their power is misused. It is revealed Lusamine had ended up kidnapping Nebby, containing the Pokémon in a cage and been using its powers to unleash hordes of Ultra Beasts across the Alola region, ending with both her and Guzma traveling to [[Ultra Space]] after a battle. This process has caused Nebby to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Cosmoem}} (although none of them seem to be aware of this). Under the guidance of Wicke, they stay at Aether Paradise for the night and the next day the group splits off, with Gladion giving Lillie the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|M}}.

====Poni Island====
With newfound courage, Elio and Lillie travel to [[Poni Island]]'s [[Seafolk Village]] to search for a way to find Lusamine and save Nebby. The two meet up with Hapu for the third time, and brings them to the [[Ruins of Hope]], watching her become the kahuna of Poni Island. Hapu tells them of a second flute, and a ritual to be performed on top of Poni's Altar. After a small journey through [[Exeggutor Island]], Elio grabs the counterpart of Lillie's flute and is met with Plumeria and Team Skull at [[Ancient Poni Path]], telling them to help Guzma. Elio finishes his last grand trial with Hapu, with the group of three proceeding through [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. At the end of the canyon, Elio completes the last of his seven trials, and is met with the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} where he and Lillie perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the book in Malie: {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}. Nebby takes them to [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]] and Elio confronts and defeats Lusamine, who berates him for helping and befriending Lillie. After a final showdown against the Lusamine-Nihilego fusion, they're brought back to Alola by Nebby.

====Ending====
[[File:SM Ending Screen Male Default.png|thumb|300px|right|Elio and his friends]]
Nebby wishes to come with Elio and Lillie on more adventures, but Lillie insists on Elio catching Nebby, saying that he will be Nebby's father now. Lillie says goodbye after Elio has caught Nebby. After {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Nebby, Elio is brought back to Tapu Village by [[Nanu]] and climbs to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] to take on Alola's newly established Pokémon League and [[Elite Four]]. His strength is tested by both Hau and Gladion, with words of good luck from Lillie before hand. After defeating the Elite Four, Elio is challenged by one person, the League's founder, Professor Kukui, ending in a win for Elio who is then declared as the first-ever {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. During the subsequent celebration in [[Iki Town]], Lillie takes Elio to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], where the newly crowned Champion faces Tapu Koko in battle in thanks for saving him and Nebby on Mahalo Trail. Lillie and Elio are then brought back to the festival and enjoy themselves. Lillie intends to tell Elio something, but gets stopped. The following day, Hau tells Elio of an emergency and that they need to go to the Marina in Hau'oli immediately. It turns out that Lillie is leaving Alola to go to Kanto, and Elio has to say goodbye. After seeing his friend leave, Professor Kukui brings Elio back home.

Elio appears in the credits on a photo on the end screen, a photo that he, Hau and Lillie all took at Hau'oli City from the start of their journey. This photo is a part of an animated sequence. This sequence has a package sitting next to Lillie's pink rucksack. The contents of this package include the photo (among many others) that Elio, Hau and Lillie took at Hau'oli City; Selene's trial amulet, and a letter to Lillie. A quote, "''Everyone's smiles shine so brightly. Those smiles led us to so many other people. And those meetings will lead us to a bright future. I'm so glad I got to meet everyone. I'm so glad I got to meet you.''" is displayed over an image of Lillie and Nebby before this sequence, it can be assumed that she is either talking about the player or Nebby. It is implied that Elio had taken all the other pictures found in the package.

====Post-game====
At the start of the day, Hau informs Elio of his victory with Hala, and gives him the two remaining Z-Crystals of the starters. Elio is then contacted by [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]] of the [[International Police]], who request his help in catching the Ultra Beasts unleashed into Alola due to Lusamine's actions. Elio agrees to this, successfully catching all the Ultra Beasts roaming around Alola. While learning about the Ultra Beasts, Elio soon finds out that he may be a [[Faller]], a person who has gone through Ultra Wormholes and were bathed in tremendous amounts of [[Z-Power]].

Elio eventually finds his way through the rest of Poni Island, gaining access to a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Evolution]] from a revisit with [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]], who he has met in Heahea City. At the end of Poni Island, he encounters the [[Battle Tree]] and meets [[Red (game)|Red]] and [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the Battle Tree's [[Battle Legend]]s.

At Aether Paradise, Elio meets up with Gladion, who is now the acting president of the Aether Foundation. Gladion thanks Elio for his help with his family, especially with Lillie, claiming that Lillie has never smiled so happily since she met Elio. Gladion rewards them with a {{p|Type: Null}}, and says he is looking forward to Alola's strong champion.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
====Background and pre-game====
Like in the original Sun and Moon games, Elio is an 11-year-old boy who moved from Kanto to Alola with his mother. Sometime before his move to Alola, he has met [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], and got a signed [[Autograph]] from him. He put this autograph on a pedestal in his room.

During his travels, Elio encounters a group of strange pale people known as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who are later revealed to be working with the Aether Foundation. When Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped, Elio follows them and finds out that Lillie's mother, Lusamine, is seeking to travel to Ultra Recon Squad's home world to stop a Pokémon known as {{p|Necrozma}} before it can threaten Alola. He successfully uses Nebby's powers to travel to this alternate world, leaving Lillie and Elio to figure out how to follow her. They travel to Poni Island and perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. However, before Elio and Lillie can go after Lusamine, she's suddenly thrown out of an Ultra Wormhole before them, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma proceeds to battle and absorb Nebby, before traveling back to Ultra Space. With the Ultra Recon Squad's help, Elio travels to their home world of [[Ultra Megalopolis]], where he defeats Necrozma once again and saves Nebby.

After completing his last island challenge trial, Elio climbs Mount Lanakila to reach the newly established Pokémon League at its summit, re-encountering Necrozma along the way. After Elio has defeated the brand-new Alola Elite Four, Professor Kukui arrives and presents Hau as his final challenge before he can claim the championship. Elio successfully defeats Hau one last time, making him the first Champion of Alola.

Later, Elio assists the Ultra Recon Squad in catching some Ultra Beasts roaming around Poni Island. But no sooner has he returned home that he learns of an evil organization called [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] appearing in the region. The team takes over Aether Paradise, sets up [[Team Rocket's Castle|their base]] on it, and kindnaps Lusamine. Elio storms the base and takes down the members of Team Rainbow Rocket, including their leader, [[Giovanni]], saving Lusamine and making Team Rainbow Rocket leave Alola.
{{endspoilers}}

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Elio can have up to all 802{{sup/7|SM}}/807{{sup/7|USUM}} Pokémon available in the Alola games. He makes no NPC roles.

Due to being the player character, ELio is required to pick between {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} as his first partner Pokémon in both Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In the original Sun and Moon titles, Elio is required to capture [[Nebby]] at [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar. A Battle against a wild [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Exeggutor}} on [[Exeggutor Island]] is required to be fought in the plot but is not required to be captured. In Sun and Moon, Elio is also required to take part in battle against {{p|Tapu Koko}}, while not required to be caught, Lillie will offer unique dialogue upon capturing. In Sun and Moon's post adventure Elio is tasked to capture 5 of the 7 [[Ultra Beast]]s that appear.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lillie with Nebby, will appear on [[Mahalo Trail]] in the post-game, Nebby as either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} will be fought and required to be caught if the event is activated. Elio is required to catch either two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} under some orders of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

====Required in story====
