==Blurb==

Ash is battling with another Trainer by the waterfront, not realizing he is being watched by a mysterious sailor. After he wins, Ash is confident and boastful. The kids decide to grab something to eat.

Team Rocket is currently working in a small restaurant, when the old sailor walks in and demands some hot milk. While he is there, Ash and friends sit down outside and talk about battling. The man approaches them, and Max recognizes him as Drake of the Elite Four!

Drake invites all of them (including the disguised Team Rocket) to his boat, where he challenges Ash to a battle. Drake sends out his Shelgon, and though it is slower, it waits for Pikachu to get just close enough to take it down with Dragonbreath and Dragon Claw.

Ash calls out Grovyle against Drake's Altaria, and though Grovyle has a better time leaping on the masts of the ship, it gets knocked out by some powerful moves from Altaria, including Aerial Ace and Solar Beam.

Team Rocket takes advantage of a weakened Pikachu to steal it, but Drake calls out his Salamence. It uses Dragon Claw and Flamethrower to send the thieves blasting off. With Team Rocket thwarted and a few lessons learned, Ash and friends have dinner with Drake and his crew on the boat.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} is {{pkmn|battle|battling}} an unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}} on a dock as the episode begins. Ash is using {{AP|Torkoal}} while his opponent has called out {{p|Scizor}}. Scizor goes for a {{m|Fury Cutter}} attack, but Torkoal uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, forcing Scizor to dodge it and stop its attack. Scizor responds with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack, but Torkoal {{m|Iron Defense|tucks itself into its shell}}, negating the effects of the attack. As Torkoal emerges from its shell unharmed, Ash smiles and throws up a peace sign. Scizor’s onslaught doesn’t stop as it charges with {{m|Metal Claw}} attack. Torkoal responds with {{m|Overheat}}, which hits the {{type|Bug}}. Scizor [[fainting|faints]] from the attack, and {{an|Brock}} (who’s been refereeing) declares Ash to be the winner. Ash's opponent compliments him afterwards, saying that Ash must be a skillful Trainer because he's earned seven [[Hoenn League]] [[Badge]]s. Nearby, {{EF|Drake}} is seen watching the battle from afar.

A restaurant is on the dock. Inside, it’s revealed that [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are working there part-time. As Jessie and James are cleaning, they wonder where the [[twerps]] could be at that moment. After looking longingly at the ocean scenery, Drake walks through the door. Jessie and James inform Drake that the regular staff isn’t there today, but Drake doesn’t seem to care. He orders a hot milk with sugar, and tells the trio that it had better taste the same as it would if the regular staff was there. {{TRT}} is intimidated.

Meanwhile, Ash and {{ashfr}} are looking for a place to relax after the recent battle. They spot the restaurant and they decide to sit at one of the tables outside the building. After settling down, [[Max]] brings up the recent battle, and how Torkoal had a [[type]] advantage, and Ash states that he won’t lose to anyone who challenges him. Just then, James comes outside to take everyone's orders, but does a double take when he recognizes Ash and his friends. James nervously runs off, confusing everyone. Drake has now noticed Ash and the others sitting outside.

In the restaurant’s kitchen, Jessie and Team Rocket plot to kidnap {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, they decide against their regular tactics when they imagine Drake making them blast off again with his massive punch. They’ll have to bide their time for the time being.

Back outside, Brock asks {{an|May}} about her next {{pkmn|Contest}}. Suddenly, Drake approaches the group and tells the young {{pkmn|Coordinator}} that her choice of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is very important. She thanks him for the advice. Inside the restaurant again, Jessie has the sudden realization that Drake is a member of the [[Elite Four]]. Team Rocket is suitably impressed.

Outside, Drake compliments Ash on his battle with Torkoal, pointing out that he had good timing. Ash thanks him and introduces himself, and his friends follow suit. Drake then invites everyone to his boat, and his invitation is eagerly accepted. Suddenly, Jessie appears with Drake's order, and although she's intimidated by the Elite Four member, she is relieved when she’s complimented on the drink. Drake then invites Jessie and James to come to his boat as well.

The gang (including Team Rocket) is led to the edge of one of the docks. Drake stands at the edge and stares at the ocean, waiting for his boat to arrive. The boat swings into view from the distance, but it looks more like a pirate ship than the small boat Ash and the others were imagining! The ship's crew greet their captain as the ship docks. As {{p|Wingull}} fly overhead, Brock marvels at the ship’s large masts. Max then asks Drake to show them his Pokémon, and Ash eagerly joins in. Drake instead asks for a battle with Ash, and the young Trainer agrees almost immediately. Brock yells at Ash to wait and think about his decision, but Ash is confident that he’ll win. Meanwhile, Team Rocket realize that this may be their chance to nab Pikachu.

The battle begins with Drake choosing {{p|Shelgon}} while Ash chooses Pikachu. Ash seems confident, thinking that Pikachu’s {{Stat|Speed}} will give it the advantage. Pikachu starts off by using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and it hits Shelgon directly but Drake seems calm. Pikachu repeats the attack, and again Shelgon receives a direct hit. Drake’s Pokémon starts to glow as May and James comment on the battle.

Shelgon now takes the offensive as it charges toward Pikachu with {{m|Double-Edge}}, but the mouse Pokémon is able to avoid it with a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Pikachu then uses {{m|Iron Tail}}. Shelgon responds with {{m|DragonBreath}}, and then follows with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. The two attacks prove to be too much for Pikachu, and the little Pokémon faints. Ash retrieves Pikachu as Brock comments favorably on Drake's strength in battle. One of the crew members describes to Brock how strong the captain is as the battle resumes.

Drake brings out {{p|Altaria}}, and Ash responds with {{AP|Grovyle}}. Max is worried because {{type|Grass}} are weak against {{type|Flying}}, but Ash seems to have a plan. He tells Grovyle to jump from mast to mast, allowing it to reach the flying Pokémon. It then uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Altaria is able to avoid it by ducking behind one of the masts. Grovyle then uses {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but Altaria seems to have disappeared! Suddenly, it appears from behind with a {{m|Peck}} attack! Altaria then uses DragonBreath, knocking Grovyle to the ground! Drake’s Pokémon then charges downward with a {{m|Sky Attack}}, but Ash’s Grovyle is able to dodge it with Quick Attack, before throwing out a Leaf Blade at the opponent, but Altaria dodges that attack as well and launches {{m|SolarBeam}}. Poor Grovyle crashes through two barrels before slamming into a wall and [[fainting|knocking itself out]].

Drake gently picks up Ash's Pokémon and tells the young Trainer that Grovyle's injuries aren't too serious but it should be taken to a [[Pokémon Center]] immediately after the battle. Ash recalls Grovyle. Drake invites everyone to have dinner on his ship after Ash’s Pokémon have been treated at the Pokémon Center, and everyone happily accepts. Off to the side, May is holding the now-conscious Pikachu. As Jessie puts on a pair of rubber gloves, James offers May a drink. She takes it, putting Pikachu down in the process. Jessie quickly snatches the Pokémon up, and Team Rocket jumps into their balloon, which is seen floating nearby. The trio recites their {{motto}} as they reveal who they are to the group.

Drake wastes no time in calling out his {{p|Salamence}}, which uses a Dragon Claw on the balloon's basket, causing the balloon to shake violently. This, in turn, causes Jessie to drop Pikachu and Salamence swoops in to save Pikachu. With Pikachu riding on its back, Salamence unleashes a Flamethrower attack on the balloon. Team Rocket blasts off yet again, and May checks her [[Pokédex]] for information about Salamence. Ash, watching Drake's Pokémon in action, comments that this must be the true power of the Elite Four.

That same night, Drake, Ash and his friends, and Drake's crew enjoy a hearty dinner. Drake tells Ash that he shouldn't focus so much on losing, but should always seek stronger and stronger opponents. Ash nods at this advice, having learned a lesson in humility, and is now ready for his next adventure.

==Trivia==
* This episode was initially intended to be the 102nd episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and the 376th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], but was moved up in the schedule due to {{wp|2004 Chuetsu Earthquake|strong earthquakes in Niigata Prefecture}} nearly a week before the airing of [[AG100]]. For the skipped episode, see [[AG101 (unaired)]].
* The title is a pun on the fashion magazine "''Vanity Fair''".
* This episode marks the only time a member of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] appears in the anime.
* This is the first episode that makes a running change in an English dub opening. From this point ''[[Unbeatable]]'' replaces the {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lucario}} scene with Pikachu using Iron Tail and edited out {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}} from the Team Rocket scene. This is due to the fact that Lucario, Mime Jr. and Weavile had not yet been revealed to American audiences.

===Errors===
* After {{p|Scizor}} has dodged {{p|Torkoal}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, it lands for a second and jumps for more speed. But when it leaves the screen, its foot gets stuck on the corner of the screen, even though Brock's, Max's and May's faces can be seen moving after this, clearly following Scizor.
*When Drake's Altaria uses Solarbeam, it was used straight away even though it needs to be charged up.

===Dub edits===
====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which Pokémon is Pikachu most effective against?
* Choices: {{p|Torkoal}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Manectric}}
* Answer: Okay, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Wingull}}, you were right!

'''Exeggcute''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タマタマ''' ''Tamatama'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Exeggutor}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
Exeggcute is a Pokémon resembling six light pink eggs, usually seen arranged with five heads huddled around a sixth. Each "head" has a slightly different facial expression, but each face has triangular eyes with tiny black pupils and a small mouth. Each shell has some cracks, and one member of the bundle usually has its yolk or brain exposed. Despite looking like eggs, Exeggcute is actually more closely related to plant seeds. Exeggcute inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|jungles and forests}}.

Exeggcute gathers in swarms of six. The heads communicate with each other by using a form of telepathy that only they can understand. Should the number of Exeggcute be reduced to less than six, the remaining Exeggcute will attempt to replace it with a similarly sized Pokémon as seen [[PK04|in the anime.]] Exeggcute and its evolved form, {{p|Exeggutor}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Barrage}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Melvin Exeggcute.png|thumb|left|200px|Exeggcute in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Exeggcute's first major role was in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. The Egg Pokémon was owned by an incompetent magician named [[Melvin]]. Exeggcute managed to hypnotize {{Ash}} and Melvin forced Ash to capture a bunch of {{p|Exeggutor}}. Melvin's Exeggcute managed to [[evolution|evolve]], but without using a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

Exeggcute also appeared in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}} and company, plus an {{p|Elekid}}, found [[Misty's Togepi]] hanging around an Exeggcute that was missing a member of its batch. It evolved when all the eggs were back together, standing on a Leaf Stone.

===Minor appearances===
Exeggcute first appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

An Exeggcute was seen on a photo in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

An Exeggcute under the ownership of [[Stella]] appeared in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''.

Multiple Exeggcute were among the Pokémon seen at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''.

An Exeggcute was one of the Pokémon living in [[Len Town]] in ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks!]]''.

Multiple Exeggcute appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' in their nests.

An Exeggcute appeared in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'' and ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Exeggcute shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Chansey}}. They are both known as the Egg Pokémon.
* In ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'', it is hinted that each of Exeggcute's members may have an individual sense of identity, even though they are all considered to be just one Pokémon.

===Origin===
Exeggcute appears to be a mixture of a batch of eggs and seeds, though it may have been inspired by the "Egg Yolk" {{wp|tomato}} or possibly a visual pun based on the {{wp|eggplant}}. It may also be inspired by {{wp|bird's nest fungi}}.

====Name origin====
Exeggcute may be a combination of ''egg'' and ''execute''.

Tamatama could be taken to mean 偶々 (unexpectedly), although it is more likely to be derived from 玉 ''tama'' (sphere). It is worth noting that the Japanese word for egg is 卵 ''tamago''.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Everyone is relaxing on the beach as the episode opens. Ash is taking care of his Poké Balls and May is worrying about why her Wurmple isn't eating. Corphish, Ash's new Pokémon, is nibbling on some seaweed and starts to eat some rope before Ash can stop it. Team Rocket appears and snatches Pikachu. Wurmple uses String Shot to try and stop their balloon while Ash and company pull on the string to stop Team Rocket's escape. When Corphish tries to help, though, it snaps the string with its claws.

Ash and the gang hunt down the balloon and a fight ensues between the two groups to regain Pikachu. After Pikachu is back in Ash's arms, May and Jessie begin to argue (again) about whose Wurmple is better. To everyone's surprise, both Wurmple evolve. May's evolves into a Silcoon and Jessie's evolves into a Cascoon. Jessie thinks that hers is also a Silcoon, though. After another failed attempt at trying to catch Pikachu, Team Rocket is sent blasting off again. Corphish faints at this point and Ash realizes he has to rush it to the nearest Pokémon Center. Along the way, he must cross a large river guarded by a school of aggressive Carvanha. Seeing no other way to cross and with Corphish's condition worsening, Ash decides to wade across the river with his Pokémon just barely keeping the Carvanha at bay.

While all this is going on, Max, May, Brock, and the rest of their Pokémon hear an Aron down the beach. They go to inspect the noise and end up trapped in a cage by Team Rocket. Team Rocket only has a moment to be upset about Pikachu not being in the cage before they fall into their own trap. Taillow, the only one not to get trapped, takes a tape-recorded message to Ash. Ash, with Nurse Joy's help, hurries back just in time to send Corphish to free his friends before the tide comes in and immerses the cages in water. Team Rocket fails again at catching Pikachu and everyone happily thanks Corphish for its help.

==Plot==
The episode starts with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} camping out near a lake, where Ash is cleaning his [[Poké Ball]]s in preparation for his rematch with [[Brawly]]. {{an|May}} comments that Ash is really working hard, and [[Max]] then comments that she should follow Ash's example. After Ash finishes speaking to his Pokémon, {{AP|Corphish}} wanders away after it spots a piece of seaweed. It begins to eat the long piece of seaweed-- which was tangled up with some buoys attaches to a rope-- and ends up eating the buoys as well. Ash tells it to stop, warning that it was going to get sick. Corphish then pulls on the rope, causing it to snap. Its claw goes flying backwards and then smacks Ash. Later, Ash introduces Corphish to all of the Pokémon, and Corphish greets them back by smacking them. May grabs her Pokémon and yells at it, warning that it would never make friends that way. {{an|Brock}} disagrees, saying that it might be how Corphish say "hello".

Later during breakfast, May notices that her weary-looking {{TP|May|Wurmple|Beautifly}} is not eating, and questions if it is sick. {{TP|May|Torchic}} offers its own food to it, but it still refuses. Corphish then appears out of nowhere, and eats both Wurmple and Torchic's food before all of a sudden, a robotic hand comes from above and grabs {{AP|Pikachu}}. {{TRT}} then start their {{motto}}, wearing Corphish claws. They put Pikachu inside an electric-proof cage, rendering its {{t|electric}} attacks useless. May then commands her Wurmple to use {{m|String Shot}} on Team Rocket's balloon, and all four {{pkmn|Trainer}}s grab on to the string of silk, trying to hold Team Rocket back. Ash then makes the mistake of telling Corphish to help. When it grabs the string, its claws snap it, causing Team Rocket's balloon to go flying out of control and crash. May starts to yell at Corphish, but Max says that it was Ash's fault for telling it to help. They then pursue Team Rocket.

It doesn't take them long to find them. Ash then commands Corphish to attack with {{m|BubbleBeam}}, which causes Pikachu's cage to go flying. [[James]] attempts to stop them with {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, but it turns around and hugs him. [[Jessie]] then calls out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, who caught Pikachu's cage with its tail. May then tells Wurmple to use String Shot to grab Pikachu's cage, and it works, resulting in Pikachu returning in Ash's arms. May thanks Wurmple, praising that it was the best. Jessie then feels the need to show off her {{TP|Jessie|Wurmple|Dustox}}, as she thought hers was better. Brock then comments that all Wurmple looks the same to him. May and Jessie began to argue with each other over whose Wurmple is cuter before Jessie's Wurmple starts to glow white. A few seconds later, May's Wurmple also starts to glow white. Both Wurmple then evolve into {{p|Silcoon}}, or so Jessie thought. When Jessie picks it up, James and {{MTR}} notice that it looks {{p|Cascoon|different}} from May's Silcoon, but they ignore it. They then attack Ash again, but he counters with Corphish's {{m|Crabhammer}}, which sends Cacnea flying backwards. Ash then commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which usually sends Team Rocket {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|blasting off}}.

As they begin to celebrate their victory, Corphish's skin turns bright red, and it falls over. Brock checks its temperature, and discovers it has a fever. Ash reaches for its Poké Ball, but then realizes he left them back at camp. Convinced there was no time to go back, Ash decides to carry Corphish to the [[Pokémon Center]]. He takes Pikachu with him while leaving {{AP|Treecko}} and {{AP|Taillow}} behind. As Ash begins his hike up the mountain, he notices Corphish becoming hotter, and stops to think how he could bring its fever down, before he then spots water trickling down the mountain side. He scoops some of it up with two big leaves and gives it to Corphish, which slightly helps it. Ash then hears his stomach grumbling, realizing he never got to eat breakfast due to Team Rocket. Pikachu then spots a [[Pecha Berry]] tree, which Ash picks some Berries off of. As he begins to eat one, he realizes that he has stepped on a {{p|Shroomish}}. He apologizes to it, but the Shroomish does not accept the apology, and attacks Ash with {{m|Stun Spore}}. Ash then runs away with his Pokémon as fast as he can.

Later, Ash begins to see [[Dewford Town]] in the distance. All he has to do now is cross a river. As he begins to cross it, a school of {{p|Carvanha}} then attack, and scare him out of the water. As Ash formulates a plan on how he could cross the river, he spots a rowboat near the shore. The Carvanha start to attack again, and Ash commands Pikachu to hold them off with Thunderbolt. It works for a little bit, but they then come back and eat the boat. Ash runs back to shore, and formulates another plan to get across the river and quick, as Corphish's fever is steadily increasing. A little bit downstream, Ash spots a bridge. Thinking their worries are over, Ash is disappointed to see that the bridge is destroyed, but decides to just cross the river by wading through it. Ash then puts Pikachu and Corphish on a wooden plank and carries them over his head. The Carvanha soon spot him, and begin attacking again. Ash then starts to move quicker as the shore is just feet away, and commands Pikachu to jump to shore, and to attack Carvanha with Thunderbolt. Pikachu does its best to keep them at bay, but a couple of them manage to attack Ash. Corphish starts to worry about Ash, but he promises Corphish that he wouldn't let anything happen to it. One Carvanha attacks Pikachu, making it unable to stop any further attacks. As a group of Carvanha are about to pounce on Ash, Corphish fires a BubbleBeam attack at them, which stops them long enough for Ash to get to shore. Relived, Ash takes a small break, and thanks his Pokémon before going to the Pokémon Center. Around sunset, [[Nurse Joy]] reveals to Ash that Corphish should be just find in the morning, and it seems that the buoys that Corphish ate earlier is what made it sick. Nurse Joy questions why Corphish ate them, but Ash is unable come up with an answer.

Later, Brock, May, and Max are seen around a campfire when all of a sudden, they start to hear what Brock believes to be an {{p|Aron}}. Max is puzzled, as Aron usually stay in [[cave]]s and never came out on the beach, and they soon came across a tape recorder with Aron's voice playing on it. Before they could question it, they all-- except for Taillow-- suddenly find themselves trapped in cages, and they soon find out that it was Team Rocket who set the trap. They then also discover that Pikachu wasn't with them, and James realizes that only two of the traps were activated as he accidentally activates the third, which traps Team Rocket as well. Treecko attempts to break the cage with {{m|Slam}}, but to no avail. Little did they notice, the tide starts to come in. Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash is at Corphish's bedside, dreaming of himself battling using it. He commands Corphish to use Crabhammer, and it then lightly bonks him on the head. Back at the beach, Brock finally realizes that the tide is coming in, and that they were all at risk of drowning. Brock then looks at Taillow, and gets an idea.

The next morning, Corphish feels 100% better, as noticed by Ash. Taillow then comes flying in from the window with a tape recorder around its neck, and Ash plays it hearing a recording of Brock talking about the situation and telling Ash to hurry. Back at the beach, the tide is already up to their necks. They then spot Corphish swimming at full speed towards them, with Ash and Nurse Joy in a speed boat following it. Ash then orders Corphish to use Crabhammer on the cages, which immediately sets everyone free. Back at the dock, Team Rocket thanks Ash for saving their lives, but it does not stop them from making one last attempt to steal Pikachu. Ash then commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} on them, followed by Corphish's BubbleBeam, which blasts them off for the second time. Afterward, Brock thanks and flirts with Nurse Joy at the same time, and May and Max then thank Corphish, which then happily smacks everyone around.

** Interestingly enough, both episodes have "Corphish" in the title.

===Errors===

* When Team Rocket blasts off, May's Silcoon disappears.
**This happened also when they took Pikachu, Wurmple wasn't seen anywhere.
* When Ash finds the Pecha Berries on the trees, he refers to the tree as a "Pechan" Berry tree.
* Ash's Pikachu uses Thunderbolt two times when Ash is in the water, so Ash would've been shocked too.

===Dub edits===
* A Carvanha hitting Ash in the back of his head was cut.

==Blurb==

Ash, Pikachu, Brock, May and Max decide to cool off in a picturesque lake en route to Rustboro City. But they're not the only one's splashing around! The lake is actually home to a whole flock of Lotad. The Lotad seem to be having fun with their new friends, but a little girl named Natalie thinks that Ash and crew are out of line. She brings them back to the flower shop which her two older sisters run. There, Ash and the gang learn all about berries and the effects that different berries have on Pokémon. Brock promptly falls in love with the two older sisters, making little Natalie very jealous. In fact, Natalie isn't the only one smitten with Brock—a quirky little Lotad seems to have taken a liking to him as well. Natalie decides to win Brock's affection by finding a Sitrus Berry and she wanders off into the woods. She finds one, but a Beedrill wants it, too! Luckily, Brock arrives in time to save her from the Beedrill. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has decided to catch all the Lotad in the lake and it's up to Brock's quirky Lotad friend and Pikachu to save the day.

==Plot==
The episode starts with {{Ash}} (in his bathing suit) jumping into a pool, followed by {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]]. Max splashes water at May and Ash swims around with Pikachu on top of his head. {{an|Brock}} is standing on a rock, doing exercises. He places his right foot in but trips. The others are laughing at him. Then, a pair of red eyes appear in the water, watching Ash and {{ashfr}}. Without them noticing, more pairs of red eyes appear. Then, they see leaves floating on the water. Scared, they swim back to shore but Max is pulled in the water and everybody else is too. They saw that they were being pulled in by {{p|Lotad}}. The Lotad pile up and throw Ash and his friends back to the shore. As the Lotad leap up to the shore, May gets frightened and she hides behind Max. Then, all the Lotad use {{m|Water Gun}} up into the air. All but one use Water Gun lightly. Brock walks up to the Lotad but its Water Gun turn back to normal and hits Brock in his face. A girl, [[Natalie]], appears behind them, asking what they are doing with the Lotad. She then takes them to her sister to be punished for trespassing.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is wandering through the forest, dying of thirst, when [[James]] suddenly collapses on the ground telling [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} to leave him there to die. The trio spot a [[Tamato Berry]] in a tree and Jessie and Meowth fight over who gets to eat it, until they both take a bite and begin breathing fire from the Berry's spicy flavor.

The gang are taken to a flower shop run by Natalie's sisters where she is scolded by her sister, [[Nicole]], for treating them rudely. They introduce themselves and Brock begins flirting with Nicole. She invites them to some pie she made when her sister, {{ho|Rita}}, comes in complaining that their {{key|III|Wailmer Pail}} has a leak. Brock is in awe at Rita's beauty and begins to flirt with her as well, until Natalie becomes insulted that Brock wasn't attracted to her as much as he was to her sisters. Rita questions if perhaps Natalie is in love with Brock herself. They all go in and eat the pie Nicole prepared which she explains she made from the Berries they grow around their house. Rita explains that because of the climate they are able to harvest all kinds of [[Berry|Berries]] around their house and offers to show the gang their orchard. Natalie is then shown offering Brock a huge plate full of pie just for him to which he reluctantly thanks her.

The gang heads outside and call out their Pokémon to enjoy the nice weather when Nicole and Natalie come out of the shop to take them to their Berry patches, Natalie literally dragging an over-stuffed Brock by the arm over to them. May compliments the size of their Berry garden, and Nicole points out the different types of Berries grown in their garden and explains the different effects Berries have on Pokémon. Brock takes up a strong interest in Berries and asks that Nicole explain more when Natalie offers to make him a list of all the effects each Berry has on Pokémon. He thanks her and she claims that she "would do anything for her boyfriend". Rita approaches the group claiming that some of the pipes have gotten old and since they stopped working, they should replace the entire system. Nicole agrees but is concerned about the amount of work that would needed to get the job done when the group of Lotad from the lake arrive with their pads filled with water. They begin to water the garden, and Rita thanks them for their help. May asks why the Lotad are helping them water the garden, and Natalie explains that it's the Lotad's way of thanking them for growing all the Berries for them. Max is confused why the Lotad are able to learn Water Gun so Nicole explains that they are special Lotad that can do other unusual attacks. Ash then offers to help water the garden and May, Max, and Brock excitedly agree.

Team Rocket has started drinking water from the lake when Jessie and Meowth don't come up for air. James asks if they're okay, and they raise their heads revealing red markings around their mouths from the Tamato Berry still unhappy from the Berry's burn. James spots Ash and co. on the other side of the lake as they collect water and Meowth points out the group of Lotad with them. Meowth claims they should capture all the Lotad to give to {{an|Giovanni}} as a gift that can assist him in the morning routines.

May, Max, and Brock are shown carrying buckets of water followed by the group of Lotad, Pikachu, and Torchic. Pikachu stops and points out that the Lotad at the front of the line has stopped, and Ash (while helping Rita repair the pipes) states that it's the same Lotad from before that couldn't perform a decent Water Gun. Rita explains that it has a unique character, and May claims it's cute. Brock goes over and offers to help the Lotad learn how to water the plants. The Lotad is overjoyed by its achievement and thanks Brock endlessly. Rita claims that she thinks Brock will be an excellent breeder someday, which Ash agrees. Ash and Rita finally fixed all the pipes and Rita thanks the Lotad for all their help and instructs that they go back to the lake for the night. The Lotad say goodbye and begin to make their way back home, though the one Lotad stays put. Brock tells it that it should go home when Nicole comes running up with a note saying that Natalie ran off to find [[Sitrus Berry|Sitrus Berries]]. Brock explains that she wants to find the Berries since he said he wanted to have some for himself and offers to find her for them. Rita and Ash offer to come along with him, and the three of them head off into the forest.

The three of them begin searching when Pikachu hears rustling in the bushes. They observe the bush hoping it's Natalie. Instead, it's the unique Lotad that Brock helped out earlier. Brock thinks it's worried about Natalie and allows it to help them search. Natalie is shown wandering through the forest when she finally finds a Sitrus Berry in a tree, but when she goes over to pick it, sometimes moves in the bushes behind her. It jumps out and she screams which Ash and Brock hear. They follow the sound of her scream and it turns out to be a wild {{p|Beedrill}}. It charges towards Natalie until Brock sends out his Forretress to protect her using its Rapid Spin. The Beedrill retreats into the forest and Brock goes to make sure Natalie is alright. Natalie is thrilled to see Brock saved her, when Rita interrupts by scolding her for running into the forest alone. She apologizes and gives Brock the Sitrus Berry she found. Brock thanks her for finding it for him, and Rita claims that she's only lucky she's safe.

Pikachu then hears something near by which turns out to be Team Rocket on a boat on the lake's shore. They explain that they're going to catch all the Lotad in the lake and speed away. Ash says that they have to warn the Lotad of Team Rocket but Rita is afraid they won't be able to get to the Lotad in time. That's when the Lotad that had been following them offers to take Pikachu and go tell its friends about Team Rocket. Pikachu hops on Lotad's pad and the two speed off in pursuit of Team Rocket while Ash and the gang decide to follow them on land. Team Rocket begin executing their plan to catch all the Lotad when Nicole, May, and Max arrive at the scene. May spots something gaining up on Team Rocket's ship which turns out to be Pikachu and Lotad. Pikachu leaps onto the railing of Team Rocket's boat which Jessie and Meowth figure is a perfect opportunity to capture him now that they've captured the Lotad. Just then, Lotad appears in front of the boat and fires an extremely powerful Water Gun which busts a hole in the front of the boat, releasing all the captured Lotad. Team Rocket watch as all the Lotad swim away, when Ash, Brock, and the two sisters finally catch up. Ash commands Pikachu to use a {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket which causes the boat to explode and Team Rocket to go flying off. Pikachu lands on Lotad and all the other Lotad thank them for releasing them from Team Rocket. The gang is all happy the Lotad are safe, and Nicole tells Natalie that she's not allowed to go search for Berries by herself.

The next morning the group get ready to leave when Natalie gives Brock the list of Berries as she promised him. Nicole tells them Rustboro city isn't far, and Rita wishes Ash and May luck in their Gym battles when Lotad suddenly appears and walks up to Brock. Brock asks Lotad if it needs anything, when Max claims that Lotad wants to travel with Brock. Brock asks Nicole if that's okay with her, to which she agrees. Brock is thrilled to have a new Pokémon, and the gang says goodbye and continue on their way to [[Rustboro City]].

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our hero is at the end of a tough battle with Harrison at the Johto League Silver Conference. The winner of this battle will go on to the semi-finals. Each trainer has battled hard and is down to their last Pokémon. Ash is using Charizard. Harrison is also using a high level fire type called Blaziken. Charizard flies up with Blaziken and is in position for a powerful Seismic Toss. After the impact, however, both Pokémon are standing! As Charizard tossed Blaziken down, Blaziken had directed a Flame Thrower attack towards the ground to propel it back up, softening the blow of the impact! Both Pokémon battle well, and it seems like neither will give in, but, in the end, Charizard faints. Harrison continues on into the semi-finals, but is defeated in the next round. After his battle, he tells Ash all about Hoenn and the amazing Pokémon there. As the Silver Conference comes to a close and the gang prepares to leave for Vermillion City, Gary makes a surprising announcement—he's giving up battling. He's decided to become a Pokémon Researcher.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{jo|Harrison}} are left with only one Pokémon each. Both {{AP|Charizard}} and {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} start off with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} attack, which collide to form a giant smoke cloud. As the smoke clears, neither Pokémon is fazed by the explosion. Ash then commands Charizard to use Flamethrower again, which Blaziken easily dodges by jumping high into the air. {{an|Brock}} was surprised to see Blaziken jumping so high. Taking advantage of the fact that Blaziken can't move freely in the air, Charizard uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}, which, to Ash's surprise, Blaziken dodges, then counters using {{m|Quick Attack}}. Charizard flies up to dodge, but Blaziken attacks with Flamethrower. Charizard dodges and counters with another Flamethrower that collides with Blaziken's next attack. Then Blaziken uses Quick Attack again and Charizard is hit by a {{m|Fire Punch}}, but, unfazed, counters with a Flamethrower that hits Blaziken dead on.

Blaziken is ordered once again to use Quick Attack. As Charizard and Blaziken brawl it out, Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Brock and Misty cheer as Charizard circles around in the air. As the smoke clears, Blaziken is seen to be down, but the announcer is interrupted as, to the surprise of everyone, Blaziken gets up. With both Pokémon tired out, Blaziken uses one more Quick Attack, which Charizard counters with Flamethrower. Charizard attacks again with Seismic Toss, but Blaziken dodges and smashes Charizard with a {{m|Blaze Kick}}, dealing severe damage to Charizard. Charizard, sustaining the damage, releases a full power Dragon Rage to meet Blaziken's Flamethrower. As the smoke clears, both Pokémon struggle to get up. Eventually both of them get up, but when Charizard is ordered to use Flamethrower, despite the advantage it had, it faints and Ash is therefore eliminated from the tournament.

Later, Ash and crew say goodbye to {{AP|Squirtle}} and [[Officer Jenny]]. In the next match, Harrison loses to another Trainer's {{p|Rhyhorn}}. Ash blames himself for Harrison's loss because Charizard and Blaziken battled so hard, Harrison was unable to use it.

That night, Harrison stayed alone in the nearby river, but Ash and {{ashfr}} joined him. Brock asked about how his Blaziken is, and Harrison answered Blaziken is going to be fine. Harrison also explained about [[Professor Birch]]. But when they heard somebody screaming, they hurried to the rescue.

Two girls were screaming as Ash and his friends ran over to them. The girls explained there are the ghosts. Brock reassured the girls, and told Ash to use his {{AP|Noctowl}}. And he does, Noctowl uses {{m|Foresight}}, and the ghosts are actually some {{p|Misdreavus}}. Suddenly, {{Gary}} comes in, and explains the Misdreavus appear to be looking for something. Misdreavus goes off somewhere, and the gang follows.

They find another Misdreavus, which is stuck under a tree, and with their combined efforts, lift the tree to free the trapped Misdreavus. Gary runs over and inspects the Misdreavus. Thankfully, it was not injured, and all of the Misdreavus happily depart. Gary told the gang that Misdreavus actually live at [[Mt. Silver|Silver Mountain]]. He also explained that a {{p|Magikarp}} will evolve to a {{p|Gyarados}} and when a {{p|Remoraid}} would evolve into an {{p|Octillery}}, they change form completely. Gary reveals that he wants to be a Pokémon Researcher. After Ash and Gary again exchange their best wishes to each other.

Next morning, the [[Silver Conference]] comes to an end; with [[Jon Dickson]] becoming the Champion of the Johto League Silver Conference.

On the other side, {{TRT}} are still waiting for the customers but because of the Silver Conference coming to a close, no customers can be seen. Suddenly, a huge group of people were heading straight towards the building. But they weren't customers; they were none other than their old customers, who have now cottoned on to their scam. Team Rocket go inside the building and the angry customers are surprised to see a building moving. They flee, and [[Jessie]] explained she had included a movable building feature.

Gary decides to travel through Mt. Silver then go back to [[Pallet Town]] while Harrison plans to keep on with his journey by participating in the [[Indigo League]] in Kanto. The gang decides to go to [[Viridian City]] then head back to Pallet Town. Suddenly, they see the moving building. Team Rocket are happy to see the [[twerps]] and they start to recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. They surely knew it is Team Rocket, and [[James]] fires a coin missile. As Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} prepare to fight them, Team Rocket raises an electric-proof net to capture Pikachu. Right then, Gary calls out his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} and orders {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which cuts the net in half. Harrison's Blaziken comes out next, and uses Flamethrower, setting the robot building on fire. Now, finally, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Team Rocket, together with the robot building, blast off.

The episode ends with everyone heading separate ways.

==Blurb==

As the Johto League Silver Conference gets underway, Ash will take on Jackson from New Bark Town. Ash is looking forward to the match, but perhaps not as much as his Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur is very anxious to take on Jackson's Meganium and the feeling is mutual. Bulbasaur and Meganium are so eager to test their skills that they get into a fight before the battle and get caught by Officer Jenny. Luckily for Ash and Jackson, Gary and Harrison convince Officer Jenny that the Pokémon had really just een practicing. After all, trainers whose Pokémon fight get disqualified! With all of the drama, the battle is sure to be intense. Ash wins round one, but Jackson's Magneton is really strong, and Jackson wins round two. It comes down to Meganium and Bulbasaur in the final round of the match. They're battling for their honor as grass type Pokémon, and neither is willing to lose. The match ends in a draw. Ash has more points altogether, and so he will proceed in the tournament. But is Ash ready for his next opponent—Gary Oak?

==Plot==
The episode begins with the second match of Group H of the [[Silver Conference]], as [[Macy]] faces off against [[Vincent|Jackson]], the group's third competitor. Though Macy is ready, Jackson is more prepared to showboat than battle, saying hi to {{jo|Marina|Dani}} and {{jo|Jimmy|Yoshi}} to one of the stadium cameras. Once the match gets under way, the three-on-three match is down to a winner-take-all - Macy down {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Magcargo}} and {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Starmie}} and Jackson down {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Golduck}} and {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Quagsire}}, with Macy's {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Quilava}} and Jackson's {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Poliwhirl}} battling for the match. Jackson's showboating gets to the better of him, as he trips over his cape issuing orders to Poliwhirl, leaving Poliwhirl standing as it eats a {{m|Flamethrower}}. This, combined with a Starmie {{m|Thunderbolt}} from an earlier battle, seals the match for Macy. As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} watches from the stands, {{an|Brock}} notes that Macy saved herself from elimination by winning, which also meant that Ash and Macy are tied at the top of Group H (with Ash still having to battle Jackson), and that Ash will only need a tie against Jackson in order to advance, while Jackson must win outright to force a three-way tie. Noting this, Brock also mentions that a second tiebreaker round-robin would be needed should Jackson win outright.

Back at the Athlete's Village, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are rekindling their old friendship outside, everyone else moves inside, where they notice Jackson talking to [[Professor Elm]]. As they exchange pleasantries, Jackson explains that Professor Elm had given him {{TP|Jackson|Chikorita}}, his starter, and that it had only recently evolved into a {{p|Meganium}}. Asking why Meganium wasn't entered, Jackson thought that it would have been better for him to save Meganium for the Victory Tournament, which, in retrospect, was a mistake.

Back outside, the dynamic duo sees an apple from a tree, which Bulbasaur tries to grab. At the same time, a Meganium, accompanied by an {{p|Azumarill}}, also see the same apple. The two Grass types do a tug of war for the apple, which ends up splitting in half. Bulbasaur recovers the larger top half, while Meganium ends up with the bottom half. As the two Water types receive their halves, Azumarill throws its half towards Squirtle, hitting it in the face and knocking off the other half of the apple. As Meganium and Azumarill laugh at Squirtle's misfortunes, Squirtle's short-tempered side shows its face. Putting on his [[Squirtle Squad]] glasses, he prepares to pick a fight with the two, only to be restrained by Bulbasaur. As Bulbasaur tries to apologize, Azumarill slaps it in the face, bringing on Squirtle's anger once again. Bulbasaur easily shakes it off, and tries once again to restrain Squirtle once again. As the two leave, Meganium's vine latches on to Bulbasaur, tripping it, and causing Azumarill and Meganium to laugh once again. Now with the better half of the duo also angered, the four Pokémon begin to fight each other.

Inside, Professor Elm updates Ash on {{AP|Larvitar}}, and how it and its mother, {{p|Tyranitar}} living in peace under Ranger Mason's preserve. Just then, they hear of a Pokémon brawl breaking out outside, with Bulbasaur and Meganium involved. Ash and Jackson figure that their Pokémon are involved, and rush outside. Seeing their Pokémon grappling, they try in vain to quell the fighting. Only when {{jo|Harrison}} appears with {{DL|Harrison (Johto)|Pokémon|Miltank}} does the fighting stop, by way of {{m|Heal Bell}}. As both Ash and Jackson thank Harrison for breaking up the fight, [[Officer Jenny]] arrives to see what the commotion was about, and warns that any brawls could get their Pokémon's Trainers disqualified. Harrison covers for Ash and Jackson, saying that the four Pokémon were only practicing against each other, with {{Gary}} appearing to back up Harrison's claim. With Officer Jenny gone, Gary and Ash exchange a bit of trash talk, before Gary leaves.

Later, as Ash and company are deciding on the three entrants against Jackson, noting that, in addition to Azumarill and Meganium, he also has a {{Shiny}} {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Magneton}}, but Meganium is the strongest Pokémon on his team. Misty advises Ash to enter {{AP|Cyndaquil}} (as a Meganium counter) and {{AP|Pikachu}} (as an Azumarill counter).

The next day, the match begins in a smaller stadium, with Jackson having the first move (showboating off once again). Jackson leads off with Azumarill, so Pikachu leads off. Azumarill leads off with {{m|Water Gun}}, while Pikachu evades with {{m|Quick Attack}}. As Pikachu reverses for the attack, Azumarill dodges at the last minute. After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, Azumarill connects with {{m|Icy Wind}} and follows up with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Pikachu, however, grabs the tail just as it connects and reverses with a {{m|Thunder}}, knocking it out.

Next up for Jackson is Magneton. After exchanging Thunderbolts, Ash attempts a speed game. Pikachu tries to do a Quick Attack, but Magneton dodges and uses {{m|Thunder Wave}}, holding Pikachu down. Finally, Jackson ends it all with a {{m|Tri Attack}}. Pikachu is hurled right into a wall, and is out for the count. Sending out Cyndaquil, as Brock remarks that Magneton, as a Steel type, would have the disadvantage. After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|Flamethrower}}, Cyndaquil manages to use a {{m|SmokeScreen}} into {{m|Swift}}, which hits Magneton as it was attempting to use Thunder Wave. Magneton uses {{m|Double Team}} to evade another Flamethrower. As Cyndaquil tries to slowly sweep with Flamethrower for the real Magneton, it is on the receiving end of the Thunder Wave and Tri Attack combination, knocking it out.

Now down to his last Pokémon, Ash brings out Bulbasaur. Jackson begins with a Thunderbolt, which Bulbasaur counters with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Magneton evades with {{m|Double Team}}. Bulbasaur avoids the same combination that had done in Pikachu and Cyndaquil by using a spinning {{m|Vine Whip}} to mow down the afterimages, which eventually hits Magneton. Nevertheless, the combo is tried again, but Thunder Wave is blocked by a last-minute Razor Leaf, and Vine Whip is used to evade the Tri Attack. Finally, Bulbasaur manages to connect with a {{m|Leech Seed}}, which manages to sap much of its energy. Magneton then falls to the ground due to the energy loss from Leech Seed and Ash uses this chance to order Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip to grab and spin Magneton around. This wraps up the match-up, as Magneton is knocked out.

Bulbasaur and Meganium are now battling for the match, and the prior bad blood is still fresh in their minds. Trading off Razor Leafs and Vine Whips, Meganium comes off as being more powerful as some of Meganium's Razor Leafs hit Bulbasaur and it manages to throw Bulbasaur while locked in the Vine Whip. Narrowly dodging {{m|Body Slam}} attempts, Bulbasaur connects on another Razor Leaf. Evading another Meganium Vine Whip with its own Vine Whip, however, allows Meganium to hit Bulbasaur while airborne with Razor Leaf. However, Bulbasaur manages to reverse Meganium's Body Slam, and uses another Vine Whip to hook on to Meganium's neck and pelt it with more Razor Leafs. Both slowly get back up, and slowly wear each other down by hitting each other in the face with Vine Whips. On the sidelines, Misty wonders why neither are taking time to evade the attacks, in which Brock responds with the fact that to the combatants, the battle may be of pride as well, and thus both are willing to take as much as they are willing to give. As they talk, both Grass types cross counter with their Vine Whip attacks. Getting up one last time, both Pokémon prepare to trade off {{m|SolarBeam}}s, which manage to knock out both Pokémon.

Despite the draw, both Trainers congratulate on a battle well done. With the tie game, Ash advances to the Victory Round from Group H. Macy, also in the audience, also cheers Ash on, believing he can go all the way. Back at the {{TRT}} concession stands, Team Rocket has also sold out of its new Thunderbolt Badges, thanks to James's knack of what the collector would want. Once again, Team Rocket redouble their efforts into making more money.

Back at the Athlete's Village, the preliminary rounds have been decided. Ash discovers that Harrison advanced from his group, as did Gary. What surprises him even more, though, is that his first round match in the Victory Tournament is against none other than Gary. The battle of the eternal rivals is starting to heat up...

*When Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip on Magneton, it's bolts are all missing.

===Dub edits===

==Blurb==

As the Johto League Silver Conference gets underway, Ash will take on Jackson from New Bark Town. Ash is looking forward to the match, but perhaps not as much as his Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur is very anxious to take on Jackson's Meganium and the feeling is mutual. Bulbasaur and Meganium are so eager to test their skills that they get into a fight before the battle and get caught by Officer Jenny. Luckily for Ash and Jackson, Gary and Harrison convince Officer Jenny that the Pokémon had really just een practicing. After all, trainers whose Pokémon fight get disqualified! With all of the drama, the battle is sure to be intense. Ash wins round one, but Jackson's Magneton is really strong, and Jackson wins round two. It comes down to Meganium and Bulbasaur in the final round of the match. They're battling for their honor as grass type Pokémon, and neither is willing to lose. The match ends in a draw. Ash has more points altogether, and so he will proceed in the tournament. But is Ash ready for his next opponent—Gary Oak?

==Plot==
The episode begins with the second match of Group H of the [[Silver Conference]], as [[Macy]] faces off against [[Vincent|Jackson]], the group's third competitor. Though Macy is ready, Jackson is more prepared to showboat than battle, saying hi to {{jo|Marina|Dani}} and {{jo|Jimmy|Yoshi}} to one of the stadium cameras. Once the match gets under way, the three-on-three match is down to a winner-take-all - Macy down {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Magcargo}} and {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Starmie}} and Jackson down {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Golduck}} and {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Quagsire}}, with Macy's {{DL|Macy|Pokémon|Quilava}} and Jackson's {{DL|Jackson|Pokémon|Poliwhirl}} battling for the match. Jackson's showboating gets to the better of him, as he trips over his cape issuing orders to Poliwhirl, leaving Poliwhirl standing as it eats a {{m|Flamethrower}}. This, combined with a Starmie {{m|Thunderbolt}} from an earlier battle, seals the match for Macy. As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} watches from the stands, {{an|Brock}} notes that Macy saved herself from elimination by winning, which also meant that Ash and Macy are tied at the top of Group H (with Ash still having to battle Jackson), and that Ash will only need a tie against Jackson in order to advance, while Jackson must win outright to force a three-way tie. Noting this, Brock also mentions that a second tiebreaker round-robin would be needed should Jackson win outright.

Back at the Athlete's Village, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} are rekindling their old friendship outside, everyone else moves inside, where they notice Jackson talking to [[Professor Elm]]. As they exchange pleasantries, Jackson explains that Professor Elm had given him {{TP|Jackson|Chikorita}}, his starter, and that it had only recently evolved into a {{p|Meganium}}. Asking why Meganium wasn't entered, Jackson thought that it would have been better for him to save Meganium for the Victory Tournament, which, in retrospect, was a mistake.

Back outside, the dynamic duo sees an apple from a tree, which Bulbasaur tries to grab. At the same time, a Meganium, accompanied by an {{p|Azumarill}}, also see the same apple. The two Grass types do a tug of war for the apple, which ends up splitting in half. Bulbasaur recovers the larger top half, while Meganium ends up with the bottom half. As the two Water types receive their halves, Azumarill throws its half towards Squirtle, hitting it in the face and knocking off the other half of the apple. As Meganium and Azumarill laugh at Squirtle's misfortunes, Squirtle's short-tempered side shows its face. Putting on his [[Squirtle Squad]] glasses, he prepares to pick a fight with the two, only to be restrained by Bulbasaur. As Bulbasaur tries to apologize, Azumarill slaps it in the face, bringing on Squirtle's anger once again. Bulbasaur easily shakes it off, and tries once again to restrain Squirtle once again. As the two leave, Meganium's vine latches on to Bulbasaur, tripping it, and causing Azumarill and Meganium to laugh once again. Now with the better half of the duo also angered, the four Pokémon begin to fight each other.

Inside, Professor Elm updates Ash on {{AP|Larvitar}}, and how it and its mother, {{p|Tyranitar}} living in peace under Ranger Mason's preserve. Just then, they hear of a Pokémon brawl breaking out outside, with Bulbasaur and Meganium involved. Ash and Jackson figure that their Pokémon are involved, and rush outside. Seeing their Pokémon grappling, they try in vain to quell the fighting. Only when {{jo|Harrison}} appears with {{DL|Harrison (Johto)|Pokémon|Miltank}} does the fighting stop, by way of {{m|Heal Bell}}. As both Ash and Jackson thank Harrison for breaking up the fight, [[Officer Jenny]] arrives to see what the commotion was about, and warns that any brawls could get their Pokémon's Trainers disqualified. Harrison covers for Ash and Jackson, saying that the four Pokémon were only practicing against each other, with {{Gary}} appearing to back up Harrison's claim. With Officer Jenny gone, Gary and Ash exchange a bit of trash talk, before Gary leaves.

Later, as Ash and company are deciding on the three entrants against Jackson, noting that, in addition to Azumarill and Meganium, he also has a {{Shiny}} {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Magneton}}, but Meganium is the strongest Pokémon on his team. Misty advises Ash to enter {{AP|Cyndaquil}} (as a Meganium counter) and {{AP|Pikachu}} (as an Azumarill counter).

The next day, the match begins in a smaller stadium, with Jackson having the first move (showboating off once again). Jackson leads off with Azumarill, so Pikachu leads off. Azumarill leads off with {{m|Water Gun}}, while Pikachu evades with {{m|Quick Attack}}. As Pikachu reverses for the attack, Azumarill dodges at the last minute. After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, Azumarill connects with {{m|Icy Wind}} and follows up with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Pikachu, however, grabs the tail just as it connects and reverses with a {{m|Thunder}}, knocking it out.

Next up for Jackson is Magneton. After exchanging Thunderbolts, Ash attempts a speed game. Pikachu tries to do a Quick Attack, but Magneton dodges and uses {{m|Thunder Wave}}, holding Pikachu down. Finally, Jackson ends it all with a {{m|Tri Attack}}. Pikachu is hurled right into a wall, and is out for the count. Sending out Cyndaquil, as Brock remarks that Magneton, as a Steel type, would have the disadvantage. After exchanging a Thunderbolt and a {{m|Flamethrower}}, Cyndaquil manages to use a {{m|SmokeScreen}} into {{m|Swift}}, which hits Magneton as it was attempting to use Thunder Wave. Magneton uses {{m|Double Team}} to evade another Flamethrower. As Cyndaquil tries to slowly sweep with Flamethrower for the real Magneton, it is on the receiving end of the Thunder Wave and Tri Attack combination, knocking it out.

Now down to his last Pokémon, Ash brings out Bulbasaur. Jackson begins with a Thunderbolt, which Bulbasaur counters with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Magneton evades with {{m|Double Team}}. Bulbasaur avoids the same combination that had done in Pikachu and Cyndaquil by using a spinning {{m|Vine Whip}} to mow down the afterimages, which eventually hits Magneton. Nevertheless, the combo is tried again, but Thunder Wave is blocked by a last-minute Razor Leaf, and Vine Whip is used to evade the Tri Attack. Finally, Bulbasaur manages to connect with a {{m|Leech Seed}}, which manages to sap much of its energy. Magneton then falls to the ground due to the energy loss from Leech Seed and Ash uses this chance to order Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip to grab and spin Magneton around. This wraps up the match-up, as Magneton is knocked out.

Bulbasaur and Meganium are now battling for the match, and the prior bad blood is still fresh in their minds. Trading off Razor Leafs and Vine Whips, Meganium comes off as being more powerful as some of Meganium's Razor Leafs hit Bulbasaur and it manages to throw Bulbasaur while locked in the Vine Whip. Narrowly dodging {{m|Body Slam}} attempts, Bulbasaur connects on another Razor Leaf. Evading another Meganium Vine Whip with its own Vine Whip, however, allows Meganium to hit Bulbasaur while airborne with Razor Leaf. However, Bulbasaur manages to reverse Meganium's Body Slam, and uses another Vine Whip to hook on to Meganium's neck and pelt it with more Razor Leafs. Both slowly get back up, and slowly wear each other down by hitting each other in the face with Vine Whips. On the sidelines, Misty wonders why neither are taking time to evade the attacks, in which Brock responds with the fact that to the combatants, the battle may be of pride as well, and thus both are willing to take as much as they are willing to give. As they talk, both Grass types cross counter with their Vine Whip attacks. Getting up one last time, both Pokémon prepare to trade off {{m|SolarBeam}}s, which manage to knock out both Pokémon.

Despite the draw, both Trainers congratulate on a battle well done. With the tie game, Ash advances to the Victory Round from Group H. Macy, also in the audience, also cheers Ash on, believing he can go all the way. Back at the {{TRT}} concession stands, Team Rocket has also sold out of its new Thunderbolt Badges, thanks to James's knack of what the collector would want. Once again, Team Rocket redouble their efforts into making more money.

Back at the Athlete's Village, the preliminary rounds have been decided. Ash discovers that Harrison advanced from his group, as did Gary. What surprises him even more, though, is that his first round match in the Victory Tournament is against none other than Gary. The battle of the eternal rivals is starting to heat up...

==Blurb==

Ash and friends report back to Professor Elm as they reach the base of Mount Silver, where they hope to return their Larvitar to its birthplace. On their way up the mountain, Ash faces a young trainer in Pokémon battle, pitting his Cyndaquil against the trainer's Magby. This Magby—the pre-evolved form of Magmar—is much stronger that Ash unexpected, and Ash suffers a defeat. Ash makes it up in a subsequent battle, when his Cyndaquil defeats a Quilava—the evolved form of Cyndaquil. Following a few steps behind, Jessie and James note all of the trainers and their rare and valuable Pokémon preparing to battle in the Johto Championship to be held on this mountain. Setting aside their usual plans for capturing Pikachu—and their usual hot-air mode of transport—they capture Larvitar and as many other Pokémon as they can muster and drive off with them in a specially made truck. Only Ash and friends stand a chance of rescuing the Pokémon they hold dear.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are nearing [[Mt. Silver]] and the [[Silver Conference]], they stop at a [[Pokémon Center]] to rest; the group decides to call [[Professor Elm]]. The Professor admires how well {{AP|Larvitar}} is developing, making a point of its gain in self-confidence. Elm gives Ash instructions as to what to do when the group reaches the top of the mountain, right before ending the call. Just then, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} approaches them and makes the assumption that the group is on their way to the Silver Conference. The boy wastes no time in challenging Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}.

Just outside of the Center, the boy introduces himself as [[Satchel]]. The boys take their places at opposite ends of a battle field. Satchel sends out his {{p|Magby}}, prompting Ash to consult his [[Pokédex]]. Having learned that Magby is a {{type|Fire}}, Ash decides to send out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. {{an|Misty}} is surprised by his choice in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, wondering why Ash didn't choose his {{AP|Totodile}} to battle Magby. On the other hand, Satchel commends Ash in his "fighting Fire with Fire" strategy.

{{an|Brock}}, acting as [[Battle judge|referee]], signals the start of the battle. Cyndaquil dodges Magby's {{m|Flamethrower}}, and counters with a {{m|Quick Attack}}; Satchel is impressed. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use a {{m|Swift}} attack, and then its own Flamethrower. Satchel orders Magby to use its Flamethrower once more and the two Pokémon's attacks meet, resulting in an ascending cascade of fire. Magby's [[Move|attack]] eventually prevails, but Cyndaquil manages to jump out of the way before it is damaged. Ash has his Pokémon use {{m|Tackle}}, and Satchel responds by ordering Magby to use {{m|Double Team}}. Cyndaquil stops in its tracks as Magby's copies surround it, and begin running in a circle. Taking a chance, Ash orders Cyndaquil to go after one of the Magby; Cyndaquil attacks a fake, and Magby's attack is disrupted. Appearing from behind Cyndaquil, Magby is told to use its {{m|DynamicPunch}}. The attack strikes Cyndaquil dead-center; Cyndaquil is unable to battle, and Satchel is declared the victor.

After the battle, Ash decides that his Cyndaquil is in need of a long rest. Satchel approaches Ash and commends him on his training of Cyndaquil, its speed, and the battling as a whole. Ash shows similar praise for Magby, and its range of attacks. Although happy, Satchel expresses his goal to get his Magby to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Magmar}}. A fellow Trainer on his way to the Silver Conference, Satchel states that, as a Magby, his Pokémon won't be strong enough to compete against the stronger Pokémon that they will surely face. This is explained by Brock the reason why Satchel is trying to battle as much as possible. Satchel feels sure that the battle that Ash and he just had will aid a lot on Magby's way to evolution.

A little while later, Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Cyndaquil are seen poolside, Cyndaquil recuperating from its battle. Ash seems worried about the upcoming Silver Conference. While he knows that Cyndaquil has "awesome" strengths, he divulges the same worry that Satchel had earlier regarding his unevolved Pokémon. All of a sudden, Ash spots an unknown Trainer with his {{p|Quilava}}, the evolved form of Cyndaquil. Seeing this, Ash conjures the determination from within him to get his Pokémon to evolve. Returning to the group, Ash announces that it's time for some "special training", and herds all of his Pokémon and head to a field. All of Ash's Pokémon are paired with a training partner to battle with: {{AP|Noctowl}} with Pikachu, Totodile with Cyndaquil, and {{AP|Phanpy}} with {{AP|Bayleef}}.

Off in the distance, {{TRT}} can be seen from behind some bushes in a wooded area. [[Jessie]] spots multiple Trainers, most with evolved Pokémon, training in the field. Jessie, [[James]], and {{MTR}} decide then that they are going to steal all of the Pokémon belonging to the training Pokémon Trainers, along with Pikachu.

Brock and Misty, having been distracted by Ash's training, notice that Larvitar has wandered off. Having made its way to the field in which the other Trainers are training, Larvitar is startled by a {{p|Voltorb}}; the Trainers take notice of the seemingly [[Rarity|rare]] Pokémon. Brock and Misty come to Larvitar's rescue just before any of the Trainers decide they want to make a newly [[caught Pokémon]] out of it. Just then, a sudden gust of wind drag all of the Pokémon through the field. Ash soon takes notice of the ordeal, and runs to save Larvitar. He is, however, soon swept up by the wind as well; Bayleef grabs onto Ash with its {{m|Vine Whip}}. Just as Ash is pondering what could be causing the wind, Team Rocket appear in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] and recite a variation of their {{motto}}. It is revealed that a mecha attached to the balloon is being used to suck all of the Trainers' Pokémon up, including Satchel's Magby; Ash's Pokémon are left on the ground. Ash orders Cyndaquil to use its Flamethrower on Team Rocket, but Meowth has it sucked into the machine before it gets a chance to attack; Ash is also sucked up, Larvitar in hand, but gets stuck. Larvitar manages to land on top of the machine without getting sucked inside. Heading off into the distance, Team Rocket, Ash, and all of the Pokémon, are followed on foot by Brock, Misty, and Satchel.

Team Rocket is seen beside a cabin lowering the Pokémon into a truck. It appears as if Jessie has tied Ash up, and left him within the cabin. Outside, Team Rocket is admiring the load of Pokémon they have stolen. They express their pride in their plan of using a truck to haul the Pokémon away, thinking no one would ever catch them. Moving to the front of the truck, Larvitar approaches the vehicle and {{m|Bite|bites}} down on the rear tire. To the surprise of Team Rocket, the truck leans drastically; Larvitar quickly {{m|Dig|digs}} underground. Ash, wondering what's going on outside the cabin, is surprised to see Larvitar appear from beneath the floorboards. Using its Bite, Larvitar frees Ash from his rope constraints. Ash is both very happy to have been saved by Larvitar, and angry that it would put itself in so much danger. Just then, Brock, Misty, and Satchel are shown to not have found anything; their hopes now lie in Noctowl's wings.

Team Rocket is flabbergasted as to why the tire was flattened; Jessie promptly tells James and Meowth to fix it. Sneaking up from behind the cabin, Ash tells Larvitar to have Cyndaquil and Magby use Flamethrower to melt the glass blocking their escape from the machine. Larvitar agrees and digs underground, moving towards the vehicle until just behind it. The Pokémon jumps up into the truck, and conveys Ash's message to the Fire types. Magby and Cyndaquil begin their attempt at escape. Having finished changing the tire, Team Rocket load back into the front of the truck and are ready to leave. To prevent this, Larvitar bites down on the exact tire that had just been changed, inhibiting their vehicle once again. As Jessie "supervises" the changing of tires once again, Noctowl spots from above the site at which Team Rocket are preparing to take off with the Pokémon. Alerted by the {{type|Flying}}, Brock, Misty, and Satchel head on their way to save Ash and the stolen Pokémon from Team Rocket.

With help on the way, the Fire Pokémon duo of Cyndaquil and Magby have melted a hole in their cage; the stolen Pokémon (Cyndaquil, Magby, a {{p|Furret}}, Voltorb, a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and a {{p|Scizor}}) escape. Having heard the commotion in the back of the truck, Team Rocket goes to investigate. Ash tells Larvitar from behind the cabin that the Pokémon have to hide. To Team Rocket's surprise, there is a hole in their machine and all of the Pokémon are nowhere to be found. As Jessie inspects the machine, Cyndaquil and Magby pop out and greet her with a Flamethrower attack in her face. Ash runs out from behind the cabin and orders the Pokémon to flee from the truck. With all of the stolen Pokémon on his side, Ash tells Team Rocket that he is leaving and taking all of the Pokémon with him. Jessie doesn't like this and sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}; James then proceeds to send out his {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Arbok's Bite attack, and Weezing's Tackle attack, are then ordered by their Trainers. All of a sudden, Noctowl swoops down and strikes the two {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, Brock, Misty, Satchel, and the rest of Ash's Pokémon in tow. A {{m|Poison Sting}} attack from Arbok, as well as a {{m|Sludge}} attack from Weezing, is successfully countered by a Flamethrower from Magby. Ash then orders Phanpy to Tackle Arbok and Weezing into Team Rocket, and then Totodile uses its {{m|Water Gun}} on the group. Jessie retaliates by swinging Arbok by its tail, essentially using a "fling attack". Satchel orders his Magby to use DynamicPunch and hits Arbok away. Reeling from its successful attack, Magby begins to evolve; everyone is shocked. Unwilling to give up, Team Rocket sends their Pokémon to attack once more. Arbok's {{m|Take Down}} is no match for Magmar's Flamethrower, a Flamethrower stronger than any other seen before. Ash orders Cyndaquil to "finish them off" with its own Flamethrower, causing an explosion that blasts Team Rocket off into the distance.

All of the stolen Pokémon are reunited with their owners.

As Ash and company are readying to head off, the group and Satchel part ways. Misty proclaims that Ash has found a new [[rival]] in Satchel. Despite Brock's claims of struggle Ash will probably face in the Silver Conference if facing Satchel, Ash shows confidence that he can beat anyone that comes his way. Ash has realized that even though his Pokémon haven't evolved, they have the power and heart to win if he uses their power in the right ways. The group head on their way to the peaks of Mt. Silver.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Having finally seen stability restored to the Blackthorn Gym, Ash and Clair face off in a gym battle. Ash opens with a surprise entry, his Snorlax, and defeats Clair's Kingdra to take victory in the first round. Clair quickly comes back, wearing Snorlax down with her Gyarados. Ash sends in Pikachu, hoping its advantage as an Electric Pokémon will be enough to defeat Clair's Water Pokémon. It isn't until he puts Pikachu's speed to use, however, that he emerges victorious. At two to one, Ash is only one win away from earning his final badge, but this last round—against Clair's Dragonair—promises to be the hardest one yet.

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and [[Clair]] on separate sides of a huge lake with floating platforms spread around it which is going to be the battlefield for Ash and Clair. It is a three-on-three match. The battle then begins. Ash starts off with {{AP|Snorlax}} which is a big surprise for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}. Clair counters with {{p|Kingdra}}.

Ash starts off with Snorlax’s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Clair counters with Kingdra’s {{m|Agility}}. Kingdra attacks Snorlax, but it doesn't work. Clair then uses Kingdra’s {{m|Swift}}, but that just bounces off again. Ash tries to use Snorlax’s {{m|Body Slam}}, but Kingdra dodges with Agility. Kingdra attacks Snorlax again, but again Snorlax is undamaged. Clair notes that these attacks aren't working, so she uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Ash tells Snorlax to dodge it but it is unable to dodge it. Clair orders another Hyper Beam which Snorlax avoided by going under water. Ash congratulates it on its quick thinking. Ash orders a {{m|Body Slam}} but as it goes underwater it weighs much less. Kingdra uses this to its advantage and avoids being crushed. She tells Kingdra to use Hydro Pump once Snorlax comes up for air. This worries Misty and Brock, but Ash tells Snorlax to jump out of the water. It goes up into the air and Kingdra uses Hydro Pump. Ash orders Snorlax to lean back and it manages to successfully dodge the attack. Clair then orders Kingdra to use Swift, but Ash tells Snorlax to just take it. Clair orders another Hydro Pump, but it only does a little bit of damage. Kingdra is also starting to look tired. Brock says that Ash’s plan must be to just wear Kingdra out, as Snorlax has a lot of endurance. Clair orders another Hyper Beam, but Snorlax dodges it once again by going underwater. Ash then orders Snorlax to use {{m|Ice Punch}} knocking Kingdra out of the match.

Clair recalls Kingdra congratulating it for a job well done. She then sends out {{p|Gyarados}}. Snorlax seems to be a little tired after the match with Kingdra. Clair orders Gyarados to use Hydro Pump, while Snorlax uses Hyper Beam. Both attacks cancel each other out. Gyarados then uses {{m|DragonBreath}}, which hit Snorlax, paralyzing it. Clair then orders Gyarados to use Hyper Beam. Snorlax is slammed by the beam and it falls, fainted. Ash then chooses {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Gyarados goes in to {{m|Bite}} Pikachu, but Pikachu uses Agility to get out of the way. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} but before he could attack, Gyarados uses DragonBreath, tiring Pikachu. Gyarados then tries to finish him off with a Hydro Pump, which misses Pikachu as he uses Agility to get out of the way. As Gyarados goes in for another Hydro Pump, Pikachu uses Agility to race up the Hydro Pump to get into point-blank-range of Gyarados' face. He then uses a Thunderbolt to knock Gyarados out.

Clair then releases her strongest Pokémon: Dragonair. Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt, but Dragonair dives under the water. Clair orders a Hyper Beam, which zooms out of the water and smashes into Pikachu, taking him out. Ash then sends out {{AP|Charizard}} into battle. The roof of the stadium then opens so that the two Pokémon could have a sky high battle.

Charizard goes in to attack Dragonair. Clair tells her to dive under the water. From under the water, Dragonair spins to create a massive twister, which bursts out of the water and smashes into Charizard. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on the lake, drying it entirely. Dragonair is now unable to dodge by diving in the water. Clair then orders Dragonair use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Charizard dodges and grabs Dragonair. Ash then orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Charizard starts to spin around the earth and is about to throw Dragonair when she uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Charizard is hit bad and it falls to the ground. But on Ash's encouragement Charizard gets up and flies toward Dragonair. Dragonair then tries to use another Iron Tail. Charizard grabs her again and uses Seismic Toss just as before. Dragonair once again uses Dragon Rage but Charizard uses Fire Spin while in the twister! As Charizard is holding on to Dragonair, she is unable to escape. It then uses a fiery Seismic Toss. Charizard flies from the flames, roaring with victory. Clair orders Dragonair to get up. She tries, but collapses again. Clair then pulls out the Rising Badge and hands it to Ash, who says his usual line and Pikachu jumps for joy.

Back at the Dragon Cave, {{TRT}} enters slowly. They approach the Dragon Fang, but see {{jo|Liza}} and [[Charla]]. Charla goes in and sends them blasting off again. Liza then returns to the Gym to find that Ash has won the Rising Badge. Clair then explains that Ash should head to Mt. Silver, where he can prepare for the Johto League. Ash thanks her. He then looks at Charizard, who is by Charla. Ash walks up to it and tells it to be good for Liza. Liza is surprised, but Ash knows that is where Charizard belongs. Liza, Charla, and Charizard then take off. Ash waves goodbye to his old friend. Ash decides to stay in Blackthorn for one more day so Clair can explain about the {{pkmn|League}}.

==Major events==
* [[Ash's Snorlax]] is brought from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to help battle Clair.
* {{Ash}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} is revealed to have learned {{m|Ice Punch}}.
* Ash beats [[Clair]] and earns a {{Badge|Rising}}.

* The English title of this episode is taken from the saying ''"Better late than never"''.
* This is the only time so far that Ash has ever brought a Pokémon back from {{an|Professor Oak}}'s for a Gym battle.
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.
*Even though Clair is a Dragon-type trainer, she used a Gyarados which isn't a Dragon-type

===Errors===
[[File:EP254 error.png|thumb|right|200px|Dragonair's missing horn]]
* In the end, when Clair says good-bye to Liza, she mispronounces her name as ''"Laiza"''.
* Brock states that Gyarados is a dual {{2t|Water|Flying}} type, and Misty replies that Pikachu should "still" have an advantage over Gyarados because of his {{t|Electric}}ity; this implies that Electric attacks are powerful against Water Pokémon but weak against Flying Pokémon. In reality, Electric attacks are strong against both, giving Pikachu a double advantage.
* Dragonair's horn is missing when she faints from battle.
* After Snorlax uses Ice Punch, Brock states how Dragon Pokémon have trouble against Ice-type attacks, but because Kingdra is part Water-type it would affect it normally. The reverse happened in a previous episode when Pikachu used his Electric-type attacks against Kingdra.
* In one scene, Togepi's right arm is colored the same as its body.
* When Snorlax jumped out of the water, its feet were the same color as its body.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Gold and Silver}}

'''Pokémon Gold Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスター金|Poketto Monsutā Kin}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Gold'') and '''Pokémon Silver Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスター銀|Poketto Monsutā Gin}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Silver'') were the first [[Version|main series]] of [[Generation II]] for [[Game Boy Color]]. They were released in Japan on November 21, 1999, in North America on October 15, 2000, and in Europe on April 6, 2001. Like {{game|Red and Green|s|their predecessor}}, they are paired versions, with few differences aside from available {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

As Pokémon had become an international phenomenon already with the release of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red and Blue Versions}} and {{game|Yellow||Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition}} in North America and other regions, the localized versions of these games were greatly expected. Much like Red and Green (Red and Blue overseas), Gold and Silver were followed shortly by a third version with minor changes, {{game|Crystal||Pokémon Crystal Version}}, as well as remakes two [[generation]]s later in the form of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions}} for the [[Nintendo DS]].

Unlike earlier games, Gold and Silver take place in the [[Johto]] region, west of the region that the original games take place in, [[Kanto]]. However, Kanto can be traveled to later in the games.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
===Main game===
{{ga|Ethan|The player}} begins their journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the player returns to New Bark, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver{{sup/2|G}} or Gold{{sup/2|S}}) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the Egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure.

After defeating Falkner for the {{Badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the Egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are legendary in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a {{ball|Lure}} and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{Badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up, however, unlike the one found in [[Kanto]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}, it is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. If these Pokémon are [[Egg Group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon Egg]] can be produced.

Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third Badge, the {{Badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the Badge, receiving a [[SquirtBottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be occurring at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in [[Ecruteak City|Ecruteak]], where the {{type|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{Badge|Fog}}.

The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[RageCandyBar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}s charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they receive the {{key|II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the Magikarp in the lake to evolve into Gyarados, which caused the effect of the Red Gyarados. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{key|II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{key|II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the Gold and Silver versions respectively. The player can either go to the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] or the [[Whirl Islands]] at this point, to challenge Ho-Oh or Lugia, respectively; alternatively, they can go straight to {{rt|44|Johto}}, now unblocked, and through the [[Ice Cave]] to get to [[Blackthorn City]]. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair requires the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. When the player finds the item, they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], traveling down {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|46|Johto}}.

Professor Elm contacts the player, and awards them with a {{DL|Poké Ball|Master Ball}} when visited. From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], who specializes in {{t|Poison}} Pokémon. Following is [[Bruno]], who uses {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{t|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]], challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, {{prof|Oak}} and his co-host on [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.

===Postgame===
After the credits roll, the player ends up back in [[New Bark Town]] in their room; however, Professor Elm calls, requesting a favor. After visiting his lab, he gives the player a {{key|II|S.S. Ticket}} that allows access to the [[S.S. Aqua]], a ship that travels to and from [[Kanto]], the region that Elm wishes for them to explore. On the first entry into the S.S. Aqua, a man will bump into the player, and will ask them for help as he has lost his granddaughter on the ship. After locating her in the captain's cabin and reuniting her with his grandfather, the ship will arrive in [[Vermilion City]], where the player will take their true first steps in Kanto.

At this point, the player is given free reign to travel throughout the (scaled-down) Kanto region, and collect the eight Badges from [[Generation I]]'s [[Indigo League#Gym Leaders of the Indigo League|Gym Leaders]]. The player can accomplish this in any order; however, certain events must be completed before some Leaders can be challenged. For example, a Team Rocket grunt has stolen a {{key|II|Machine Part}} from the [[Power Plant]] and hidden it inside [[Cerulean City]]'s [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]]; the grunt must be fought and the Machine Part restored to the Power Plant before [[Misty]] can be found at [[Cerulean Cape]] and persuaded to return to the Gym. [[Giovanni]], the previous Leader of [[Viridian City]], has now left, and former Indigo {{pkmn|Champion}} {{ga|Blue}} is now its Leader; however, Blue is at the site of [[Cinnabar Island]], musing over its destruction by the local volcano's eruption. When found there, Blue will return to [[Viridian Gym]] to be battled. Blaine was the Leader of [[Cinnabar Gym]]; when the town was destroyed, he took refuge in one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] and can be fought there.

When the player has earned all eight Kanto Badges (and, therefore, all sixteen Badges in the game), Oak allows them to venture to {{rt|28|Kanto}} and, past it, [[Mt. Silver|Silver Cave]], a location where only the greatest of Trainers can venture. Silver Cave is a grand set of open tunnels and passages which are riddled with powerful Pokémon, but the player continues to travel through to the end of the cave, where {{ga|Red}}, now a [[Pokémon Master]], stands alone to be fought. When Red is defeated, the credits roll again and, afterward, the player is deposited at Route 28's [[Pokémon Center]], outside of Silver Cave.

==Blurb==
Enter a whole new world, with new Pokémon to capture, train and battle! Meet Professor Elm and get the all-new [[Pokégear|Poké Gear]], including {{DL|Pokégear|map}}, {{DL|Pokégear|radio}}, [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] and [[Pokégear#Time|clock]]. Set the clock then watch as day turns to night and events take place in real [[time]]— and be sure to keep an eye out for Pokémon that come out only at night!

==Connectivity==
Pokémon Gold and Silver continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable]], but also revamped it as well. Gold and Silver (as well as Crystal) introduced backwards-connectivity to the trading processes, allowing players to trade with other Generation II games, as well as Red, Blue and Yellow (and Green, in Japan). This has to be done in order to complete the Pokédex without cheating or using [[glitch]]es, since each of the games has version exclusive Pokémon which cannot be obtained in another version.

The games are not compatible with games released as part of later [[generation]]s.

The games could also connect to a [[Game Boy Printer]] provided you have a [[Link Cable]]. Upon connectivity, one could print out pictures of Pokémon from the Pokédex or Pokémon summaries from ones party. In [[Pokémon Crystal]], a feature was added where one could print out a translation of {{p|Unown}}, which helped them translate ruins easier.

==Features==
===Gyms===
There are eight Pokémon Gyms in Johto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Falkner]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Bugsy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Whitney]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Morty]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Chuck]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Jasmine]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Pryce]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Clair]] ({{t|Dragon}}). These Gyms notably feature the types not accounted for by Kanto Gyms, with the exception of the {{t|Dark}} type. Since Kanto is accessible after defeating the Elite Four, players can visit the eight Pokémon Gyms in the region, even though there have been some changes. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Janine]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and {{ga|Blue}} (various).

===Elite Four===
Gold and Silver introduce a new Elite Four syndicate, though it is found at the same location as it previously was in the Red and Blue versions: [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite Trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Lance]], who uses {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who were part of the Elite Four in Generation I, do not appear in Generation II, nor are they mentioned.

===Pokémon===
The games feature 100 new Pokémon species, plus the 151 Pokémon of [[Generation I]]. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to a single player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon in Gold and Silver that ''must'' be acquired by either attending either a Nintendo sponsored event or cheating.

====[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]====
For unknown reasons, two sets of [[Version-exclusive Pokémon]], {{p|Phanpy}} and its evolution {{p|Donphan}}, along with {{p|Teddiursa}} and its evolution {{p|Ursaring}}, were swapped between the Japanese and localized releases, with the former available in Japanese Gold and international Silver and with the latter available in Japanese Silver and international Gold. However, this situation did not occur with the remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver.

*{{fnb|1}}Exclusive to Silver in the Japanese versions.
*{{fnb|2}}Exclusive to Gold in the Japanese versions.

===Pokégear===
The Pokégear is received at the beginning of the game from the protagonist's mother. It has several functions, some of which will need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The Pokégear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game, a map of Johto (and later Kanto) once the Map Card is obtained, a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with, and a radio which allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and [[DJ Mary]] on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullaby on the [[Pokémon Music]] station, or listen to the [[Lucky Channel]] to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion.

===Apricorns===
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in these games. A {{ball|Lure}} is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], a Heavy Ball is used to catch large, heavy Pokémon like {{p|Snorlax}}, and a {{ball|Friend}} will make a Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its Trainer much more quickly. To obtain these Balls, [[Apricorn]]s must be picked from special plants found throughout Johto, and [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] will fashion these into the different Balls based on their color. However, Kurt can only make one Ball at a time, and players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the Ball.

===Kanto===
After defeating [[Lance]], and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], players can travel to [[Kanto]], the region introduced in Generation I, and see how things have changed over the past three years:

* Due to a power outage, a key is no longer required to open the door to [[Lt. Surge]], and the garbage cans in his Gym are all empty (save for trash).
* A volcano has destroyed everything but the [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], leaving a rain-filled crater behind.
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are no longer found in Kanto, logically because they have already been caught in Generation I. The [[Cerulean Cave]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} are also gone, though a man near the cave ruins does mention the dungeon, and a hidden item called the [[In-battle effect item#Berserk Gene|Berserk Gene]] can be found in the water near its former entrance.
* [[Bill]]'s house is still present at the Cerulean Cape, but Bill is currently visiting his family in Johto's [[Goldenrod City]]. The house is being watched over by his grandfather.
* [[Blaine]] has moved his Gym to one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] due to [[Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar]]'s volcanic eruption. As a result, no wild Pokémon can be found in the Seafoam Islands.
* {{ga|Blue}} (Green in the Japanese versions), the rival of Generation I, is now the leader of the [[Viridian City]] Gym. [[Giovanni]] is nowhere to be seen, though he is clearly mentioned many times, as Team Rocket aims to find him.
* {{ga|Red}}, the Generation I protagonist, appears in Johto's [[Mt. Silver]], serving as the game's true final challenge. His highest level Pokémon is a level 81 Pikachu. Red also has a {{p|Snorlax}} at level 75, a {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, each at level 77, and a level 73 {{p|Espeon}}. The first five Pokémon are specially obtainable in Pokémon Yellow.
* The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another area of town. Her old house was demolished to make way for the [[Magnet Train]] station. As compensation, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives away to the player after the return of her {{key|II|Lost Item|lost doll}}. According to her mother, this is the same {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll|doll}} that Red exchanged for {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I]].
* Kanto Gym Leaders use Generation II Pokémon in addition to Generation I Pokémon.
* Remixes of most of the overworld and battle music from the Generation I games are used. Some notable exceptions include Cinnabar Island's music and the music from various Team Rocket hideouts.
* Most [[route]]s were shortened, but cities and towns generally remained the same size except [[Celadon City]], which shrank slightly.
* Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Generation II Pokémon can be found. Some Pokémon that were previously restricted to the {{Safari|Kanto}} can be caught in wild areas, such as {{p|Rhyhorn}} in {{ka|Victory Road}} and {{p|Kangaskhan}} in [[Rock Tunnel]].
* The entrance to [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Rocket Hideout|headquarters]] in the basement of the Celadon City [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] has been removed, although a man in Celadon's Pokémon Center alludes to it.
* The formerly-abandoned [[Power Plant]] is now used to power the new Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of the Pokémon that once infested the plant in Generation I).
* The {{DL|Cerulean City|bike shop}} in [[Cerulean City]] is closed, and the owners have moved to Goldenrod City in Johto.
* The {{ka|old man}} in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He references the fact that in Generation I he taught the player how to catch Pokémon, and asks if the player believes him, but does not attempt to teach this time around.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]]'s master is away training, so the Fighting Dojo only provides a [[Focus Band]] left behind. The [[Kiyo|master]] is training in [[Mt. Mortar]] in Johto. When found and defeated, he will give away a {{p|Tyrogue}}.
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science|museum]] in [[Pewter City]] is closed for renovations.
* The other caverns and [[Viridian Forest]] all have the same layout as they did before (with the exceptions of [[Mt. Moon]] and the Seafoam Islands), but reduced in size.
* [[Koga]], the former Gym Leader of [[Fuchsia City]] and now a member of the [[Elite Four]], has been replaced by his daughter [[Janine]].
* The [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] has been replaced by a [[Lavender Radio Tower|Radio Tower]], similar to the one in [[Goldenrod City]]. In turn, the Pokémon grave sites were moved into the newly added Soul House. Access to the upper floors of this Radio Tower is restricted, a safety precaution taken as a result of Team Rocket's takeover of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Johto's Radio Tower]].
* The [[Beta Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] is closed while the [[Baoba|warden]] is on a vacation. Instead, the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] at the [[National Park]] takes its place. Through external game manipulation, an unused portal to the Safari Zone in [[Fuchsia City]] can be found. Players can use a [[cheating]] device to enter the unfinished Safari Zone.<ref>[http://glitchcity.info/docs/gscsafarizone Glitch City Laboratories - Pokemon GSC Safari Zone] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>
* The {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} from Celadon City to Lavender Town has been sealed indefinitely, ostensibly due to vandalism. A sign cites local complaints about battles there and a local Biker Gang complains about it closing down because it was their base.
* Victory Road's length has been drastically shortened, and no longer includes the barriers, boulders, Trainers, and pressure sensors. Trainers can be found outside, but no longer in Victory Road itself.
* Viridian Forest has been reduced to shrubs, and wild Pokémon can only be caught in the grass of what used to be {{Rt|2|Kanto}}.
* Route 23 has been reduced to a short path leading between {{ka|Victory Road}}'s exit and [[Indigo Plateau]].
* The Pokémon Center on Route 4, outside Mt. Moon, is no longer there, leaving the player to trek all the way to Pewter City to heal their Pokémon.

==New features==
Gold and Silver introduced a number of features to the Pokémon video game franchise, many of which set a new standard for every game in the series that followed. Gold and Silver introduced the concept of storing items such as healing items, [[Poké Ball]]s, and [[key item]]s in separate compartments in the [[Bag]]. The updated battle screen showed both how much [[experience]] points a Pokémon had until its next level and whether an encountered wild Pokémon's species has already been captured. Also, held items raised the bar for strategy, allowing players to outspeed opponents, heal ailments, restore {{stat|HP}} in {{pkmn|battle}}, boost the power of moves of a specific type, or increase the Pokémon's [[friendship]], among other uses. All {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battled by the player had their own unique name, and some would be available for rematches later in the game.

A [[Time|time system]] was also introduced. Throughout the game, Pokémon appearances are influenced by time of day: morning, day, and night. {{p|Hoothoot}}, for example, only appears at night (since it's an owl-like Pokémon). Certain events are also determined by the day of the week, like the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] which is held in Johto's [[National Park]] on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Depending on the day of the week, either "[[Pokémon March]]" or "[[Pokémon Lullaby]]" can be heard on the PokéGear radio. Pokémon March raises the chance of a Pokémon appearing when the player walks into the grass, while Pokémon Lullaby decreases that chance.

===Breeding===
With the introduction of {{pkmn|breeding}}, all Pokémon belong to one or two [[Egg Group]]s. It is important to note that [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred; they are genderless, and will not breed, even with a {{p|Ditto}} (which can breed with any Pokémon capable of breeding).

A baby Pokémon will be born when a male Pokémon and a female Pokémon that share at least one Egg Group are left at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. In the case of Pokémon that are always male ({{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Tauros}}, etc.), or Pokémon who can breed but whose gender is unknown ({{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}), the only way to produce a baby from these species is by breeding them with a Ditto.

A baby Pokémon will inherit the species of its mother (or non-Ditto parent in the case of a Ditto breeding) and inheritable moves from its father (when it's not a Ditto). Fathers always pass down [[TM]] moves that the baby's species could learn, which are valuable (since some are only obtainable one time). If both parents know a move that the baby's species learns by leveling up, the baby is born knowing that move as well. Fathers may also pass down special moves called "Egg moves" to the baby that it would not normally be able to learn by leveling up or evolving.

===Shiny Pokémon===
These games introduced [[Shiny Pokémon]]—Pokémon which have a different coloring than their species has normally, and which appear very rarely (a 1 in 8192 chance). In these games, Shiny Pokémon often have higher stats than regular Pokémon, but can never achieve maximum stats for that species (as Shininess is based on the Pokémon's {{IV}}s in this generation).

In this generation, the odds of an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatching into a Shiny Pokémon can be significantly increased if one or both parents are Shiny.

There is one Pokémon guaranteed to be Shiny: a [[Red Gyarados]] can be found at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Since it is part of the storyline, it is impossible not to encounter this Pokémon as Shiny.

===Pokérus===
[[Pokérus]] (a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "virus") was introduced. Encountering a Pokémon with the virus is even rarer than encountering a Shiny Pokémon, with the odds estimated to be somewhere around a 1 in 21,845 chance. Pokérus doubles the special experience (a concept adapted to later installments as [[effort values]]) that the player's Pokémon gain each time the infected Pokémon participates in battle (provided the battle is won and the infected Pokémon does not faint).

===Type and stat changes===
Two new [[type]]s were introduced, {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}}. These two types serve to balance the {{t|Psychic}} type, which previously was only weak to {{type|Bug}} moves. In addition, the Steel and Dark types also balanced the {{t|Fighting}} type, which was only [[super effective]] against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon (all of which were rarely used in competitive battling); Steel and Dark are both weak to Fighting-type moves. Steel-type Pokémon are known for their very high defense; they are highly resistant to many types and their moves are strong against Ice- and Rock-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type moves and have moves with malicious-sounding names, such as {{m|Bite}} (previously {{type|Normal}}) and {{m|Thief}}, which are super-effective against Psychic-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are also strong against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, thus being the only type that has an attack advantage over Ghost-type Pokémon besides Ghost-type moves themselves. Dark-type Pokémon are also weak to Bug-type attacks.

Some type match-ups were changed as well. In Generation I Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon; this was changed to super-effective as it was in the anime. {{type|Poison}} moves were previously super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, and Bug-type moves were super effective against Poison-type Pokémon; this was changed to Poison doing normal damage to Bug and Bug becoming not very effective against Poison, seriously limiting the effectiveness and usage of both types. Ice-type moves were also made not very effective against {{type|Fire}} Pokémon (previously doing normal damage). Four moves had their types changed: {{m|Gust}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Flying}} move; {{m|Bite}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Dark}} move; {{m|Karate Chop}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Fighting}} move; {{m|Sand-Attack}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Ground}} move. Two Pokémon, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}, changed from being {{t|Electric}} type to being {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}}.

Another major change from the original games was the splitting of the {{Stat|Special}} stat into {{Stat|Special Attack}} and {{Stat|Special Defense}}. Again, this increased aspects of strategy, for Pokémon were now more specialized. Some were good special attackers, while others were better physical attackers; the same now held true for Defense and Special Defense. For example, {{p|Cloyster}} has a decent Special stat in Generation I, but in all later games, has a decent Special Attack, but low Special Defense.

==Reception==
The games were generally well received and in-turn received a "Masterful" 10/10 by IGN.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/012/012865.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version (Pokemon Gold)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Craig Harris of that site states "after playing the game dozens of hours, I really can't think of a bad point to make about Pokémon Gold and Silver."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162865p1.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Battery life==
Copies of Pokémon Gold and Silver typically lose the ability to save after a period of about seven years, due to the internal battery running dry (this is due to the constantly-running clock). However, the battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind, a CR2025 lithium cell, although replacing it will reset the game's data. The problem appears less often with {{game|Crystal}}.

One sign that the battery will soon lose the ability to save is that the game will not keep track of the time correctly while the game is not being played.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Music Super Complete}}
Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only paired versions which have not had any sort of official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. The closest approximation to such a release is Disc 3 of ''Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Music Super Complete'', which is based on the [[GB Sounds]] feature of HeartGold and SoulSilver that is meant to emulate the style of 8-bit music. However, not all of the GB Sounds music is available on the CD. Additionally, Discs 1 and 2 of the aforementioned soundtrack contain remixes of the music originating from Pokémon Gold and Silver.

==Beta elements==
{{main|Pokémon Gold and Silver beta}}

==Trivia==
* The games started the trends of having [[legendary Pokémon]] as [[Version mascot|mascots]] and the use of precious stones or metals as title names.
** However, with the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, the trend of naming the titles was broken.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[Version#Relation to one another|paired versions]] where Pokémon sprite designs differ between the two games.
* None of the [[in-game trades]] in Gold and Silver feature the player trading away ''or'' receiving a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}, making them the only games in which a player must link up with another player to trade Pokémon of that generation.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only games so far to have differences between the version-exclusive Pokémon in the Japanese and international releases, with the {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Phanpy}} families getting swapped in the localizations; the Teddiursa family is in the Japanese Silver and non-Japanese Gold, while the Phanpy family is the opposite. In all versions of the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Teddiursa family is in SoulSilver while the Phanpy family is in HeartGold, like the original Japanese Gold and Silver.
* These are the only games before [[Generation IV]] to be released in South Korea.
* Gold and Silver, as well as [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]], have the most types that have been specialized in by [[Gym Leader]]s, adding up to 15.
** If one includes the [[Elite Four]], the {{t|Ground}} type is the only type that is not specialized in by an important Trainer in these games.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[version|main series]] games that have not had an official soundtrack album released.
* Due to a possible oversight in the international versions, the Japanese quotation marks are used in certain parts of the dialogue, like in radio stations. This was corrected in Crystal.
* Gold and Silver, along with Crystal are the only games to not have an {{type|Electric}} [[Gym Leader]]

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our heroes have finally reached the next stop on the road to Johto: Goldenrod City! Looking to challenge the city's Gym Leader, Ash finds out the gym is closed for the day. Knowing they must wait until tomorrow, the gang decides to shop around and enjoy the city when they run into a local trainer, Whitney. After a close-encounter with Team Rocket, our heroes realize Whitney is actually the Goldenrod City Gym Leader! Will Ash win his next Johto League badge?

==Plot==
It's been a very long journey and a long time coming, but {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} have finally arrived at [[Goldenrod City]]. The three friends reach a top of the hill and see Goldenrod standing before them. Everyone is happy to see the large city before them, Ash is more that ready to compete for his third [[Johto League]] [[Badge]]!

Goldenrod is a sprawling metropolis, filled with shops and people. Misty is interested in the sales, Brock is as usual is interested in the girls and both are interested in the sizzling hamburgers. Ash, however, is able to ignore his stomach and reminds {{ashfr}} that they're not in the city to find the sales, meet the girls or eat the food but to allow him to challenge the local [[Gym Leader]] and earn his next Badge. Brock agrees that the Gym Battle should come first, and the three head to the [[Goldenrod City Gym]].

Reaching the Gym, Ash is dismayed to see a sign on the front on day declaring that the Gym is closed that day but will reopen the next. With nothing else to do, the three decide to enjoy the day and partake the shops, the food and (for Brock) the girls. Brock suggests a visit to the Goldenrod Galleria.

Brock tells his friends that the Galleria should be nearby... but it turns out he said that an hour and a half ago and everywhere they go leads to a dead end and he is forced to admit defeat. {{AP|Pikachu}} then gets an idea about where to go and heads towards a main street...and runs straight into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Ash apologizes to the Clefairy, when a girl runs down the street asking if Pikachu is okay after bumping into her Clefairy. She is very sweet, and makes sure Pikachu is okay by picking it up and kissing it on the head... which causes Brock to bang his own head against the wall hoping that he's the next recipient of a get-well kiss (of course, all his receives is a get-away pull of the ear by Misty). Ash and the girl laugh over the incident.

The girl, who introduces herself as [[Whitney]], offers to take the gang to the Galleria. Brock decides to take the chance to ask Whitney out for a quiet drink by themselves, only to find that Whitney, Ash and Misty have already moved off...blowing his chances again.

Whitney tells the gang that the Galleria is far easier to get to if they take an [[Goldenrod Tunnel|Underground Path]] which doubles as a shopping arcade. Walking through the path, Whitney tells them that she discovered the route herself and Misty comments on how lucky they were to find her as a guide... only it seems Whitney isn't as good a guide that they hoped as they end up further away from the Galleria than ever. Whitney quickly tries again and leads the gang through the path and into a doorway she hopes will lead to the Galleria. But Whitney is wrong again as it actually leads into a shop owned by two [[Haircut brothers]] who offer to work their magic on Pikachu and Clefairy. But as neither would look very good with a perm, Ash and Whitney quickly grab their Pokémon and leave.

By now, Ash's stomach is making very loud noises and the gang give up on the Galleria and decide to head back to where they started to get some hamburgers from the stand they came across. Whitney knows exactly where to go and heads up another staircase, but instead of coming out where they started they end up at the Galleria. Whitney realizes she can only really get somewhere when she isn't aiming for it, but in the end they got to the Galleria anyway. Whitney offers the gang a tour and rushes through the automatic doors... except they're not automatic and she slams straight into them.

While Ash and his friends may not be enjoying food yet, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are inside the Galleria. As the two are enjoying the snacks, [[James]] points out they can't actually afford all this to which Jessie and Meowth tell him they can, as they're eating free sample. James, having grown up in a rich household, doesn't quite get the notion of 'free samples' at first, but is soon stuffing his face with his team mates anyway until the store owner arrives asking if they're actually planning to buy anything... cue a motto extolling the pleasures of free food. However the store owner points out that only a small tray is free and {{TRT}} has already scoffed a small fortune. With no money (and the offer of an I.O.U. declined), the three are immediately put to work by the owner. But the idea of working off their debt is quickly forgotten when they spot Whitney's Clefairy, separated from the others, walking around the store. Knowing that the chance to grab such a rare Pokémon doesn't come around very often, they decide to grab it and send it to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}.

Having finished their shopping, Whitney makes her goodbyes to the gang when she notices her Clefairy is missing. Piling all their shopping onto Brock, they begin looking for Clefairy. Team Rocket, however, are able to grab it first and upon encountering Ash and friends, decides the best way to get away with Clefairy is to run for it. Ash, Misty, Whitney and Pikachu start to run after them while Brock stumbles behind with numerous boxes.

Team Rocket spot the station for the [[Magnet Train]], a brand spanking new super-fast monorail. They decide to make a getaway in it and, reaching the platform, ask a member of staff when the next train is to which they learn it's due in just over a year. The Magnet Train is so brand spanking new it isn't actually built yet. This allows Ash, Misty and Whitney to catch up, yelling to give back Clefairy. Spotting a handcar, Jessie and James start furiously pedaling and Team Rocket are soon very slowly getting away. Pikachu gives chase by walking next to them, and Ash orders a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Jessie asks him not to, and gives Clefairy back. Whitney thanks Ash, but then Meowth takes the opportunity to grab Pikachu. The handcar is moving again, and Whitney orders Clefairy to use {{m|Metronome}} which produces a {{m|Gust}}. This grabs Pikachu right out of Meowth's paws and returns him to Ash. Now Team Rocket isn't interested in getting away with a Pokémon but just getting away. Ash tells Pikachu to use a {{m|Thunder}} on Team Rocket, which is does. This activates the magnetic propulsion systems which sends Team Rocket shooting down the line. Jessie is happy that they are finally riding the Magnet Train fast and free, but Meowth points out that they won't be so fast and free when the line ends as they disappear down a tunnel...

Ash thanks Whitney for her help, but Whitney was only too happy to help and tells him she'd love to have a [[Pokémon battle]] against him. Ash thanks her but tells her that he's busy getting ready for a battle at the Gym the next day. Whitney laughs and asks why Ash didn't tell her as she could have guided him to the Gym straight away. Misty tells her they were there but it's closed for the day. Whitney tells the gang that while it's meant to be the Gym Leader's day off, she can open the Gym for them. Ash, never one to easily put two and two together, asks if she's the Gym's cleaning lady which causes her to laugh again as she realizes what she never told the gang. It turns out that Whitney is the Goldenrod Gym Leader!

At the Gym, the referee announces the rules. It will be a three-on-three battle, with a {{Badge|Plain}} at stake. Both Ash and Whitney are psyched for the match, and the referee begins the match.

Whitney starts off with {{p|Nidorina}}, and Ash responds by sending out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} who promptly lights its flame and is ready for battle. Whitney orders a {{m|Poison Sting}} and a {{m|Tackle}}, but neither are much of a match for Cyndaquil's {{m|Flamethrower}}. After a couple of hits, Nidorina is out and Ash congratulates Cyndaquil. Whitney is shocked by the quick defeat and sends in Clefairy who begins a {{m|Metronome}}. Ash knows Metronome can call upon any attack and tells Cyndaquil to prepare for anything. Metronome is powered, but luck is not on Clefairy's side and it is stuck using {{m|Splash}}. Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower again, but Whitney cannot bear to see Clefairy get hurt and withdraws it from the match. Whitney is down two, and Ash still has all three Pokémon remaining still at full strength. Ash literally cannot believe his good luck and prepares to wrap the battle up and considers the Plain Badge as good as his.

Whitney reminds Ash she still has one Pokémon left which is also her strongest. She throws the [[Poké Ball]] which releases a {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}. Ash looks Miltank up on his [[Pokédex]] which paints Miltank as a Pokémon who prefers not to battle. Whitney orders Miltank to use a {{m|Rollout}}, and Miltank rolls into a fast-spinning ball and slams straight into Cyndaquil sending it flying. Ash orders a {{m|Tackle}} and Cyndaquil attempts to hit Miltank dead on just to take another hard hit for its trouble. Miltank turns around for another strike, and Brock suggests Ash switch Pokémon. Cyndaquil takes an even bigger hit and Misty also advises Ash to switch Cyndaquil out. But it's too late and Cyndaquil takes a final hit and is knocked out. Ash returns Cyndaquil to its Poké Ball and thanks it for a good battle. Miltank is still full of energy.

Ash is now taking the match a lot more seriously and sends out {{AP|Totodile}}. Whitney orders another Rollout, which heads straight for Totodile. Ash orders a {{m|Water Gun}}, but it doesn't even manage to slow Miltank down and the Milk Cow Pokémon is rapidly approaching. Whitney laughs that Rollout gets stronger and stronger the longer it lasts. Ash tells Totodile to get out of the way but it's too late and Miltank hits Totodile with Rollout, knocking Totodile out with only one hit! Ash recalls Totodile, and Miltank is still spinning around the battlefield constantly gaining more and more power. Ash tries to think of way to defeat Miltank, and Brock tells Ash that Totodile got Miltank wet, so an {{type|Electric}} attack should work. Ash agrees, and sends in Pikachu and commands him to use Thunderbolt. Pikachu hits dead-on, but it has no effect on the still-spinning Miltank. Whitney tells Ash that, while it was a smart idea, Miltank is spinning so fast, she's already dry. Ash decides to switch strategy and has Pikachu use {{m|Agility}} to try to outrun Miltank, but it's no use as Miltank is just too fast and gets a direct hit. Pikachu is slammed across the arena, and gets up very much the worse for wear. But he's barely up when Miltank hits again and Pikachu is once again sent flying. The Electric Mouse Pokémon tries to get up, but he can't and faints. Ash has lost the match and Whitney is declared the winner.

Whitney recalls Miltank and thanks Ash for a good match, and should he ever want a rematch she'll be happy to give him one. Whitney and Clefairy leave the Gym, and as Ash cradles Pikachu he knows that a rematch would be pointless. Whitney and Miltank are far too powerful, and Ash doesn't have a clue how he's going to defeat them.

==Major events==

* The book ''[[Winner Takes All]]'' is based on this episode.
* This is the first episode of the fourth season, ''[[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]]''.
* This episode is featured on the ''Crash of the Dairy'' volume of the High Voltage Collection series, a series of select Johto League Champions episodes on VHS.
* As of this episode, the Magnet Train wasn't built, but in [[BW141]], [[Iris]] and [[Cilan]] used it to travel from [[Kanto]] to Johto

===Errors===
* When Clefairy forfeits against Cyndaquil, the wings on its back aren't there.
* After Pikachu used Thunder on Team Rocket, Meowth's toes are white when they should be brown.

==Blurb==

Our heroes have finally reached the next stop on the road to Johto: Goldenrod City! Looking to challenge the city's Gym Leader, Ash finds out the gym is closed for the day. Knowing they must wait until tomorrow, the gang decides to shop around and enjoy the city when they run into a local trainer, Whitney. After a close-encounter with Team Rocket, our heroes realize Whitney is actually the Goldenrod City Gym Leader! Will Ash win his next Johto League badge?

==Plot==
It's been a very long journey and a long time coming, but {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} have finally arrived at [[Goldenrod City]]. The three friends reach a top of the hill and see Goldenrod standing before them. Everyone is happy to see the large city before them, Ash is more that ready to compete for his third [[Johto League]] [[Badge]]!

Goldenrod is a sprawling metropolis, filled with shops and people. Misty is interested in the sales, Brock is as usual is interested in the girls and both are interested in the sizzling hamburgers. Ash, however, is able to ignore his stomach and reminds {{ashfr}} that they're not in the city to find the sales, meet the girls or eat the food but to allow him to challenge the local [[Gym Leader]] and earn his next Badge. Brock agrees that the Gym Battle should come first, and the three head to the [[Goldenrod City Gym]].

Reaching the Gym, Ash is dismayed to see a sign on the front on day declaring that the Gym is closed that day but will reopen the next. With nothing else to do, the three decide to enjoy the day and partake the shops, the food and (for Brock) the girls. Brock suggests a visit to the Goldenrod Galleria.

Brock tells his friends that the Galleria should be nearby... but it turns out he said that an hour and a half ago and everywhere they go leads to a dead end and he is forced to admit defeat. {{AP|Pikachu}} then gets an idea about where to go and heads towards a main street...and runs straight into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Ash apologizes to the Clefairy, when a girl runs down the street asking if Pikachu is okay after bumping into her Clefairy. She is very sweet, and makes sure Pikachu is okay by picking it up and kissing it on the head... which causes Brock to bang his own head against the wall hoping that he's the next recipient of a get-well kiss (of course, all his receives is a get-away pull of the ear by Misty). Ash and the girl laugh over the incident.

The girl, who introduces herself as [[Whitney]], offers to take the gang to the Galleria. Brock decides to take the chance to ask Whitney out for a quiet drink by themselves, only to find that Whitney, Ash and Misty have already moved off...blowing his chances again.

Whitney tells the gang that the Galleria is far easier to get to if they take an [[Goldenrod Tunnel|Underground Path]] which doubles as a shopping arcade. Walking through the path, Whitney tells them that she discovered the route herself and Misty comments on how lucky they were to find her as a guide... only it seems Whitney isn't as good a guide that they hoped as they end up further away from the Galleria than ever. Whitney quickly tries again and leads the gang through the path and into a doorway she hopes will lead to the Galleria. But Whitney is wrong again as it actually leads into a shop owned by two [[Haircut brothers]] who offer to work their magic on Pikachu and Clefairy. But as neither would look very good with a perm, Ash and Whitney quickly grab their Pokémon and leave.

By now, Ash's stomach is making very loud noises and the gang give up on the Galleria and decide to head back to where they started to get some hamburgers from the stand they came across. Whitney knows exactly where to go and heads up another staircase, but instead of coming out where they started they end up at the Galleria. Whitney realizes she can only really get somewhere when she isn't aiming for it, but in the end they got to the Galleria anyway. Whitney offers the gang a tour and rushes through the automatic doors... except they're not automatic and she slams straight into them.

While Ash and his friends may not be enjoying food yet, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are inside the Galleria. As the two are enjoying the snacks, [[James]] points out they can't actually afford all this to which Jessie and Meowth tell him they can, as they're eating free sample. James, having grown up in a rich household, doesn't quite get the notion of 'free samples' at first, but is soon stuffing his face with his team mates anyway until the store owner arrives asking if they're actually planning to buy anything... cue a motto extolling the pleasures of free food. However the store owner points out that only a small tray is free and {{TRT}} has already scoffed a small fortune. With no money (and the offer of an I.O.U. declined), the three are immediately put to work by the owner. But the idea of working off their debt is quickly forgotten when they spot Whitney's Clefairy, separated from the others, walking around the store. Knowing that the chance to grab such a rare Pokémon doesn't come around very often, they decide to grab it and send it to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}.

Having finished their shopping, Whitney makes her goodbyes to the gang when she notices her Clefairy is missing. Piling all their shopping onto Brock, they begin looking for Clefairy. Team Rocket, however, are able to grab it first and upon encountering Ash and friends, decides the best way to get away with Clefairy is to run for it. Ash, Misty, Whitney and Pikachu start to run after them while Brock stumbles behind with numerous boxes.

Team Rocket spot the station for the [[Magnet Train]], a brand spanking new super-fast monorail. They decide to make a getaway in it and, reaching the platform, ask a member of staff when the next train is to which they learn it's due in just over a year. The Magnet Train is so brand spanking new it isn't actually built yet. This allows Ash, Misty and Whitney to catch up, yelling to give back Clefairy. Spotting a handcar, Jessie and James start furiously pedaling and Team Rocket are soon very slowly getting away. Pikachu gives chase by walking next to them, and Ash orders a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Jessie asks him not to, and gives Clefairy back. Whitney thanks Ash, but then Meowth takes the opportunity to grab Pikachu. The handcar is moving again, and Whitney orders Clefairy to use {{m|Metronome}} which produces a {{m|Gust}}. This grabs Pikachu right out of Meowth's paws and returns him to Ash. Now Team Rocket isn't interested in getting away with a Pokémon but just getting away. Ash tells Pikachu to use a {{m|Thunder}} on Team Rocket, which is does. This activates the magnetic propulsion systems which sends Team Rocket shooting down the line. Jessie is happy that they are finally riding the Magnet Train fast and free, but Meowth points out that they won't be so fast and free when the line ends as they disappear down a tunnel...

Ash thanks Whitney for her help, but Whitney was only too happy to help and tells him she'd love to have a [[Pokémon battle]] against him. Ash thanks her but tells her that he's busy getting ready for a battle at the Gym the next day. Whitney laughs and asks why Ash didn't tell her as she could have guided him to the Gym straight away. Misty tells her they were there but it's closed for the day. Whitney tells the gang that while it's meant to be the Gym Leader's day off, she can open the Gym for them. Ash, never one to easily put two and two together, asks if she's the Gym's cleaning lady which causes her to laugh again as she realizes what she never told the gang. It turns out that Whitney is the Goldenrod Gym Leader!

At the Gym, the referee announces the rules. It will be a three-on-three battle, with a {{Badge|Plain}} at stake. Both Ash and Whitney are psyched for the match, and the referee begins the match.

Whitney starts off with {{p|Nidorina}}, and Ash responds by sending out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} who promptly lights its flame and is ready for battle. Whitney orders a {{m|Poison Sting}} and a {{m|Tackle}}, but neither are much of a match for Cyndaquil's {{m|Flamethrower}}. After a couple of hits, Nidorina is out and Ash congratulates Cyndaquil. Whitney is shocked by the quick defeat and sends in Clefairy who begins a {{m|Metronome}}. Ash knows Metronome can call upon any attack and tells Cyndaquil to prepare for anything. Metronome is powered, but luck is not on Clefairy's side and it is stuck using {{m|Splash}}. Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower again, but Whitney cannot bear to see Clefairy get hurt and withdraws it from the match. Whitney is down two, and Ash still has all three Pokémon remaining still at full strength. Ash literally cannot believe his good luck and prepares to wrap the battle up and considers the Plain Badge as good as his.

Whitney reminds Ash she still has one Pokémon left which is also her strongest. She throws the [[Poké Ball]] which releases a {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}. Ash looks Miltank up on his [[Pokédex]] which paints Miltank as a Pokémon who prefers not to battle. Whitney orders Miltank to use a {{m|Rollout}}, and Miltank rolls into a fast-spinning ball and slams straight into Cyndaquil sending it flying. Ash orders a {{m|Tackle}} and Cyndaquil attempts to hit Miltank dead on just to take another hard hit for its trouble. Miltank turns around for another strike, and Brock suggests Ash switch Pokémon. Cyndaquil takes an even bigger hit and Misty also advises Ash to switch Cyndaquil out. But it's too late and Cyndaquil takes a final hit and is knocked out. Ash returns Cyndaquil to its Poké Ball and thanks it for a good battle. Miltank is still full of energy.

Ash is now taking the match a lot more seriously and sends out {{AP|Totodile}}. Whitney orders another Rollout, which heads straight for Totodile. Ash orders a {{m|Water Gun}}, but it doesn't even manage to slow Miltank down and the Milk Cow Pokémon is rapidly approaching. Whitney laughs that Rollout gets stronger and stronger the longer it lasts. Ash tells Totodile to get out of the way but it's too late and Miltank hits Totodile with Rollout, knocking Totodile out with only one hit! Ash recalls Totodile, and Miltank is still spinning around the battlefield constantly gaining more and more power. Ash tries to think of way to defeat Miltank, and Brock tells Ash that Totodile got Miltank wet, so an {{type|Electric}} attack should work. Ash agrees, and sends in Pikachu and commands him to use Thunderbolt. Pikachu hits dead-on, but it has no effect on the still-spinning Miltank. Whitney tells Ash that, while it was a smart idea, Miltank is spinning so fast, she's already dry. Ash decides to switch strategy and has Pikachu use {{m|Agility}} to try to outrun Miltank, but it's no use as Miltank is just too fast and gets a direct hit. Pikachu is slammed across the arena, and gets up very much the worse for wear. But he's barely up when Miltank hits again and Pikachu is once again sent flying. The Electric Mouse Pokémon tries to get up, but he can't and faints. Ash has lost the match and Whitney is declared the winner.

Whitney recalls Miltank and thanks Ash for a good match, and should he ever want a rematch she'll be happy to give him one. Whitney and Clefairy leave the Gym, and as Ash cradles Pikachu he knows that a rematch would be pointless. Whitney and Miltank are far too powerful, and Ash doesn't have a clue how he's going to defeat them.

* Although ''[[Born to Be a Winner]]'' officially became the opening theme as of this episode, the first [[Kids' WB!]] airings as well as the [[Toonami Jetstream]] and [[Boomerang (television)|Boomerang]], presentations continued to use ''[[Pokémon Johto]]'' as the opening up until ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''.

* The book ''[[Winner Takes All]]'' is based on this episode.
* This is the first episode of the fourth season, ''[[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]]''.
* This episode is featured on the ''Crash of the Dairy'' volume of the High Voltage Collection series, a series of select Johto League Champions episodes on VHS.
* As of this episode, the Magnet Train wasn't built, but in [[BW142]], [[Iris]] and [[Cilan]] used it to travel from [[Kanto]] to Johto

===Errors===
* When Clefairy forfeits against Cyndaquil, the wings on its back aren't there.
* After Pikachu used Thunder on Team Rocket, Meowth's toes are white when they should be brown.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
While camping out for the night, {{an|Misty}} notices a light coming out of Ash's [[bag|backpack]]. {{Ash}} gets out the [[egg case]] because the [[Egg]] is starting to hatch. They all wonder what might hatch out of the Egg. {{TRT}}, who plans on stealing the Pokémon, wait nearby. The Egg hatches into a {{p|Phanpy}}! Ash checks it out with Dexter and wonders where its Poké Ball is. Brock reminds him that the Poké Ball is on the case, so he takes it and tries to return Phanpy, who jumps out of the way. Ash tries again, but Phanpy continues to dodge the beam. Brock suggests that some food might convince Phanpy to listen. Ash gets out some food, but before the Phanpy could get to it, Team Rocket snatches it with a hand. Pikachu shocks them with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and hits Phanpy as well. Team Rocket blasts off, and Phanpy is still a little shocked from the jolt. Pikachu tries to comfort it but a spark sends Phanpy running. Ash tries to run after Phanpy without luck.

The gang splits up in search of Phanpy. Brock leaves some food out to attract it when a bush near him wiggles about. Brock grabs at it; however, it ends up being [[Misty's Psyduck]], with a mouthful of Brock's food. Ash and Pikachu look about, but Pikachu feels completely at fault. Ash comforts Pikachu, knowing they'll find Phanpy eventually.

Deeper in the woods, Phanpy runs about, and the electricity is wearing off. Phanpy looks around for Ash, but then realizes it's hungry; Phanpy decides to follow a pleasant smell of food. The aroma comes from Team Rocket, who is cooking toast over a fire. They sulk in their failure to get the Phanpy but Meowth cheers them up a bit. When Meowth is about to eat his toast, Phanpy steals it before he can eat it. Meowth ends up biting its hand. Meowth goes hysterical noticing that the toast disappeared, but Jessie and James don't seem to care and start eating. Phanpy swipes their toast as well. When Meowth looks around for what happened, he sees Phanpy standing there, finishing the toast. Meowth tries to scold Phanpy but it tackles Meowth. The Meowth looks the other way for a while, with his tail waving at Phanpy, who seems to like it.

The gang meets up although nobody found Phanpy. Then Team Rocket appears out of the bush, dressed up in weird jumpsuits and helmets. Ash gives them a few remarks until Meowth shows up with Phanpy. Ash tries to call Phanpy to him, but Meowth goes up in front of Pikachu, waving his tail which is painted like a Phanpy. Phanpy gets excited and runs towards them, but Meowth quickly dodges, hitting Pikachu instead. James whips out the same hand and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu tries to shock them but the suit makes Jessie and James invulnerable to electricity. Then, James releases his {{p|Weezing}} to make a smoke shroud. With the smoke, Team Rocket is long gone.

Team Rocket celebrates their catch with a toast of milk. Phanpy looks like he wants some as well but James puts Phanpy in a cage where Pikachu is. Pikachu plans that they should bash the cage so it rolls down the cliff. They bash the side of the cage twice and it rolls down, breaking when it smashes into a tree. James hears the crash and goes over to see that the cage is gone, and he then sees the two Pokémon running away. Team Rocket hops into their balloon and chases after them. The gang sees the balloon and rushes towards it. Both Pokémon and the gang are stopped by a raging river.

It looks like the two have no choice but to jump. Pikachu makes the first jump across to a stone, telling Phanpy to jump too. Phanpy does, though not really as well as Pikachu. Pikachu hops to another stone, Phanpy following but misses and goes in. Pikachu grabs Phanpy, causing both Pokémon to hang on the rock; Pikachu slips! Ash runs along the river to find something to get them. Pikachu grabs another rock that happens to be under a tree. Ash climbs up with a rope and tries to grab Pikachu and Phanpy. He manages to get Pikachu but Phanpy slips away. With no other option, Ash jumps into the river, despite the waterfall nearby. As soon as he falls down, Ash tosses the rope to the others, saving Phanpy.

After the short refresher from the waterfall, Team Rocket arrives on the scene. Meowth does the Phanpy trick, but Phanpy's not so happy about Team Rocket this time. Jessie and James send out their Pokémon. Ash lets Phanpy go up for battle and Phanpy does a {{m|Rollout}} attack, which knocks the Team Rocket's Pokémon back. Pikachu lets off a Thunderbolt, but it doesn't affect Jessie and James, but it sure affected the whole balloon. The balloon explodes and they blast off.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
While camping out for the night, {{an|Misty}} notices a light coming out of Ash's [[bag|backpack]]. {{Ash}} gets out the [[egg case]] because the [[Egg]] is starting to hatch. They all wonder what might hatch out of the Egg. {{TRT}}, who plans on stealing the Pokémon, wait nearby. The Egg hatches into a {{p|Phanpy}}! Ash checks it out with Dexter and wonders where its Poké Ball is. Brock reminds him that the Poké Ball is on the case, so he takes it and tries to return Phanpy, who jumps out of the way. Ash tries again, but Phanpy continues to dodge the beam. Brock suggests that some food might convince Phanpy to listen. Ash gets out some food, but before the Phanpy could get to it, Team Rocket snatches it with a hand. Pikachu shocks them with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and hits Phanpy as well. Team Rocket blasts off, and Phanpy is still a little shocked from the jolt. Pikachu tries to comfort it but a spark sends Phanpy running. Ash tries to run after Phanpy without luck.

The gang splits up in search of Phanpy. Brock leaves some food out to attract it when a bush near him wiggles about. Brock grabs at it; however, it ends up being [[Misty's Psyduck]], with a mouthful of Brock's food. Ash and Pikachu look about, but Pikachu feels completely at fault. Ash comforts Pikachu, knowing they'll find Phanpy eventually.

Deeper in the woods, Phanpy runs about, and the electricity is wearing off. Phanpy looks around for Ash, but then realizes it's hungry; Phanpy decides to follow a pleasant smell of food. The aroma comes from Team Rocket, who is cooking toast over a fire. They sulk in their failure to get the Phanpy but Meowth cheers them up a bit. When Meowth is about to eat his toast, Phanpy steals it before he can eat it. Meowth ends up biting its hand. Meowth goes hysterical noticing that the toast disappeared, but Jessie and James don't seem to care and start eating. Phanpy swipes their toast as well. When Meowth looks around for what happened, he sees Phanpy standing there, finishing the toast. Meowth tries to scold Phanpy but it tackles Meowth. The Meowth looks the other way for a while, with his tail waving at Phanpy, who seems to like it.

The gang meets up although nobody found Phanpy. Then Team Rocket appears out of the bush, dressed up in weird jumpsuits and helmets. Ash gives them a few remarks until Meowth shows up with Phanpy. Ash tries to call Phanpy to him, but Meowth goes up in front of Pikachu, waving his tail which is painted like a Phanpy. Phanpy gets excited and runs towards them, but Meowth quickly dodges, hitting Pikachu instead. James whips out the same hand and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu tries to shock them but the suit makes Jessie and James invulnerable to electricity. Then, James releases his {{p|Weezing}} to make a smoke shroud. With the smoke, Team Rocket is long gone.

Team Rocket celebrates their catch with a toast of milk. Phanpy looks like he wants some as well but James puts Phanpy in a cage where Pikachu is. Pikachu plans that they should bash the cage so it rolls down the cliff. They bash the side of the cage twice and it rolls down, breaking when it smashes into a tree. James hears the crash and goes over to see that the cage is gone, and he then sees the two Pokémon running away. Team Rocket hops into their balloon and chases after them. The gang sees the balloon and rushes towards it. Both Pokémon and the gang are stopped by a raging river.

It looks like the two have no choice but to jump. Pikachu makes the first jump across to a stone, telling Phanpy to jump too. Phanpy does, though not really as well as Pikachu. Pikachu hops to another stone, Phanpy following but misses and goes in. Pikachu grabs Phanpy, causing both Pokémon to hang on the rock; Pikachu slips! Ash runs along the river to find something to get them. Pikachu grabs another rock that happens to be under a tree. Ash climbs up with a rope and tries to grab Pikachu and Phanpy. He manages to get Pikachu but Phanpy slips away. With no other option, Ash jumps into the river, despite the waterfall nearby. As soon as he falls down, Ash tosses the rope to the others, saving Phanpy.

After the short refresher from the waterfall, Team Rocket arrives on the scene. Meowth does the Phanpy trick, but Phanpy's not so happy about Team Rocket this time. Jessie and James send out their Pokémon. Ash lets Phanpy go up for battle and Phanpy does a {{m|Rollout}} attack, which knocks the Team Rocket's Pokémon back. Pikachu lets off a Thunderbolt, but it doesn't affect Jessie and James, but it sure affected the whole balloon. The balloon explodes and they blast off.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012, in the US on March 24, 2013 and in the EU on May 17th, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay and depth perception via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game. A total of 144 Pokémon appear in the game. Despite this, a maximum of 288 Pokémon can be recruited.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, allowing players to receive prizes based on how well they did on the game. This is a facility built in your paradise from Gurdurr.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle is brought along with the player's Pokémon, the obstacle will disappear when the playable Pokémon touches it. {{Type|Water}} Pokémon can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, {{Type|Poison}} and {{Type|Steel}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud, {{Type|Ghost}} and {{Type|Dark}} Pokémon can get rid of the mist, and ice can be eliminated by {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons, based on a "Mysteriosity" rating. In the main dungeon selection menu and on the Request Boards, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different effects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, floors having no rooms and only corridors, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets, Uncharted Paths, and Gilded Halls are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Uncharted Paths and Gilded Halls contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons. If they occur in a mission, the player will be returned to the normal dungeon on the floor of the mission or earlier.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, fewer items are lost and they keep their Poké. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop, or if in a Magnagate dungeon.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it. In [[Mt. Travail]] (DLC), there are tiles that will grant the effect of a Training Seed for the rest of the floor, etc. Mysteriosity aura floors may also have other special tiles.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skill]]s replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

Traps can now occur at the entrances to rooms, unlike previous games where the first tile after a hallway was guaranteed to not hold traps.

Enemy Pokémon can evolve if they defeat one of the party members or if they are given a certain item. This often happens in Magnagate Dungeons.

If items are dropped in water, fire, or chasms, they are automatically placed on the nearest path, contrary to previous games where they were submerged or destroyed.

In the other Mystery Dungeon games, the job bulletin board will have two lists, but in this game there are five for both boards.

It is unnecessary to complete a dungeon in order to recruit new Pokémon, and they can also be sent back when the team is full.

Job requests can only be fulfilled one at a time, even if they are in the same dungeon.

[[Wonder Mail]] also returns but instead of unlocking new dungeons and legendary Pokémon, it's an 8-character password and gives the player various items.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. {{tt|The player chooses the gender of the Pokémon chosen|Japanese version only}}. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where they are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[item]]s. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. Gurdurr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for {{p|Gurdurr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store. which is where the demo ends.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon see Scraggy, and after seeing Gurdurr is coming, they hide. Gurdurr talks to Scraggy, and the Pokémon realize the two are partners. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, and the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}. Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Team Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Team Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Wheel where Poké can be wagered to change the day's V-Wave. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Mountain Pass]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Inflora Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Meadow]] and [[Tempting Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Entercards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Inflora Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Crags of Lament]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Entercards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Entercards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Entercard in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Telluric Path]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Great Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Entercards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacial Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and Frisms, which are capable of storing voices. The partner then tries to record his voice in one of the Frisms, which he succeeds at, and immediately replays his voice by warming the Frism. Virizion finds a Frism with something recorded in it, as Dunsparce warms it up as well. Keldeo's voice is heard from the Frism, as Virizion begins to cry, finding out that Keldeo did make it to the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem tells them to leave. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Redland Reaches]] and [[Eastern Savanna]] dungeons.

After finishing a request or dungeon, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing another request or dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after another mission is done, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Kilionea Road]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Forest of Shadows]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Ridge]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Ochre Quarry]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withered Savanna]] dungeon.

After making it past 17F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the Frisms in the Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Holehills]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, and the partner's voice can be heard from inside of it, confirming that Munna does have the partner with her.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a Frism is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the Frism that had the partner's voice inside realizing that it wasn't the partner's. Instead, it belonged to Munna. Thus, they realized that Munna might have set up a trap. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Scorching Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains that those floating yellow lights are humans going back to human world after being defeated by Kyurem. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Entercards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Tyrian Maze]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the [[Glacier Palace - Eastern Spire]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - Western Spire]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Entercards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Bittercold]] lurks. The Bittercold unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Bittercold alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Bittercold, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Great Spire cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Bittercold will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Bittercold unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Bittercold attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Bittercold with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Bittercold lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Bittercold will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, and gave the partner's Frism to the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the Frism. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

==After the main story-line==
The player starts out as their partner Pokémon for several days until they complete the [[Worldcore]] and make a wish for their playable Pokémon to return. The player decides whether to return or not and evolution may not happen until they return to Pokémon Paradise. After the player returns to Pokémon Paradise and completes one dungeon, both the player and partner Pokémon may now evolve if the player chooses to evolve them inside of dungeons. The leading Pokémon may also be changed at any time in a dungeon as well.

==Companion Mode and Local Wireless==
[[File:localwireless.png|thumb|200px|right|Multiplayer mode with three other players.]]
One job request after the Challenge Board has appeared, these two options will be available from the menu. In Companion Mode, the game can temporarily switch to other recruited Pokémon as the main player. All normal functions are available and items and money collected are carried over to story mode. In this mode, the player cannot leave Pokémon Paradise and {{p|Cinccino}}, {{p|Rampardos}} and {{p|Cofagrigus}} from Post Town will appear there to function as their individual shops.

Local Wireless can only be accessed in Companion Mode. This provides multiplayer and is the only way to have more than one player-controlled Pokémon when on Challenge job requests.
{{right clear}}

==Team Attack==
[[File:Teamattack.png|thumb|right|200px|Team Attack]]
This is a new type of special attack accessed after the Team Badge is obtained. The player has to build this up in dungeons, using moves and defeating wild Pokémon. Once it's built up, the team attack logo will be displayed on the touch screen when L is pressed. It emits a green light and is significantly stronger than regular moves, attacking all enemies in the room and restoring HP, increasing accuracy, etc.

When there are no enemies in the room, the attack fails; however, the unused attack can still be performed while in the same dungeon at a later time.

==Hubs and other out-of-dungeon locations==
Some dungeons have floors where the player can roam around freely and has to complete various tasks in order to proceed. Items cannot be used outside of battle. They contain wild Pokémon, changing part of the floor to a regular grid-like dungeon floor during a battle. The player can escape from battle by stepping out of the grid.

The crossroads provides access to non-job request dungeons, Post Town and Pokémon Paradise.

===Post Town===
{{main|Post Town}}
As with past [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, this game features several default shops.

===Pokémon Paradise===
{{main|Pokémon Paradise}}
Initially established by the partner Pokémon, this location progresses as the story does.

==Demo==

The game demo was released on the Nintendo eShop on March 7, 2013 in the US.

The demo follows the storyline as usual, but the player will not be able to explore Hazy Pass or any locations afterward. However, Magnagate dungeons can still be played, but the player will not be able to save dungeons to be replayed later and Magnagates will not change based on size or color of objects. Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

* When first meeting {{p|Swanna}} in the English version of the game, she makes a statement that references {{wp|Carly Rae Jepsen}}'s song, "{{wp|Call Me Maybe}}".
* In the Japanese version, players are able to select the gender for their partner Pokémon. In the English version, there is no gender selection.
* The team name that Emolga suggests, "Emolga's Enforcers" is too long for the space provided.
* The Pokémon that are seen chasing {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Purugly}} and {{p|Toxicroak}}, are also the signature Pokémon of two [[Mars|Galactic]] [[Saturn|Commanders]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
**They are also found in the [[Worldcore]]
* One of the legendary boss Pokémon, {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be battled as a Shiny. When Shiny, it has more HP, different moves, and is more powerful in general.

'''Let's Join Hands''' (Japanese: '''手をつなごう''' ''Te o Tsunagō'') is the sixth ending theme of the [[Best Wishes series]]. It debuted as an ending song in [[BW123]], replacing ''[[Sakura Go-Round]]''.

==Ending Animation==
{{Ash}}, with {{AP|Pikachu}} on his shoulder, makes a phone call to his [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] while [[Mimey]] stands next to her. {{an|Cilan}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} sends an e-mail to [[Chili]], who receives it at the [[Striaton Gym]] with {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} standing next to him. {{an|Iris}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} sends a letter to the [[Elder]] and [[Shannon]] via {{p|Wingull}}. At [[Nuvema Town]], [[Professor Juniper]] tells {{an|Bianca}} something, which causes her to freak out and call [[Burgundy]], [[Georgia]] and [[Stephan]] on the [[Xtransceiver]].

Burgundy, who's studying at a Pokémon Center, doesn't take the news well and gets angry. Stephan takes the news just fine and walks off while [[Don George]] and {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} flex in the background. Georgia hangs up and looks up into the air sadly while her {{p|Beartic}} stares at her. The scene transitions to {{an|N}} extending his hand to a group of {{p|Pidove}}, {{un|Cameron}} walking with his {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, [[Virgil]] and {{p|Eevee}} flying in a helicopter, and [[Trip]] taking pictures while his {{TP|Trip|Serperior}} sits next to him. Trip looks to the camera and takes a picture, which transitions to various screenshots of [[BW001]] to [[BW122]] and ends with a picture of Ash, Iris, and Cilan with their on hand Pokémon.

[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{TRM}} are seen with {{TR|Delibird}}, who gives them blueprints for a {{p|Basculin}} submarine from a message from [[Dr. Zager]] on a tablet. On a beach, {{AP|Scraggy}} trips on the ground, but is held up by Pikachu and Axew. On top of a tree, Pansage and {{AP|Snivy}} hand apples to {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{AP|Pignite}} while a stuffed full {{AP|Oshawott}} sleeps and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} greedily eats apples in the background. In a city, {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}} and {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} can't get up some stairs, so {{AP|Charizard}} and {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} help by lifting them off the ground.

Ash and Iris begin holding hands, and are soon followed by Cilan. The camera pans along various main characters and rivals from throughout the anime's run with their Pokémon standing next to them. Inside a circle sits an Eevee and its eight evolutions which is surrounded by Ash, who holds hands with his his friends and family in a giant circle. The camera zooms out to a map of [[Unova]], which zooms out even further to show the entire planet from space. From space, several Poké Balls fly across the screen to indicate messages being sent out.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and was released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game. A total of 144 Pokémon appear in the game. Despite this, a maximum of 288 Pokémon can be recruited.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, allowing players to receive prizes based on how well they did on the game. This is a facility built in your paradise from Gurdurr.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle is brought along with the player's Pokémon, the obstacle will disappear when the playable Pokémon touches it. {{Type|Fire}} and {{Type|Water}} Pokémon can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, {{Type|Poison}} and {{Type|Steel}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud, {{Type|Ghost}} and {{Type|Dark}} Pokémon can get rid of the mist, and ice can be eliminated by {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons, based on a "Mysteriosity" rating. In the main dungeon selection menu and on the Request Boards, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, floors having no rooms and only corridors, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons. If they occur in a mission, the player will be returned to the normal dungeon on the floor of the mission or earlier.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop, or if in a Magnagate dungeon.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it. In [[Mt. Travail]] (DLC), there are tiles that will grant the effect of a Training Seed for the rest of the floor, etc. Mysteriosity aura floors may also have other special tiles.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skill]]s replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

Traps can now occur at the entrances to rooms, unlike previous games where the first tile after a hallway was guaranteed to not hold traps.

Enemy Pokémon can evolve if they defeat one of the party members or if they are given a certain item. This often happens in Magnagate Dungeons.

If items are dropped in water, fire, or chasms, they are automatically placed on the nearest path, contrary to previous games where they were submerged or destroyed.

In old Mystery Dungeon games, the job bulletin board will have 2 lists, but in this game there are 5 for both boards

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. {{tt|The player chooses the gender of the Pokémon chosen|Japanese version only}}. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[item]]s. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, and the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}. Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Team Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Team Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Wheel where Poké can be wagered to change the day's V-Wave. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Mountain Pass]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Inflora Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Meadow]] and [[Tempting Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Crags of Lament]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Telluric Path]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Great Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacial Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and Frisms, which are capable of storing voices. The partner then tries to record his voice in one of the Frisms, which he succeeds at, and immediately replays his voice by warming the Frism. Virizion finds a Frism with something recorded in it, as Dunsparce warms it up as well. Keldeo's voice is heard from the Frism, as Virizion begins to cry, finding out that Keldeo did make it to the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Redland Reaches]] and [[Eastern Savanna]] dungeons.

After finishing a request or dungeon, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing another request or dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after another mission is done, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Kilionea Road]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Forest of Shadows]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Ochre Quarry]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withered Savanna]] dungeon.

After making it past 17F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the Frisms in the Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Holehills]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, and the partner's voice can be heard from inside of it, confirming that Munna does have the partner with her.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a Frism is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the Frism that had the partner's voice inside realizing that it wasn't the partner's. Instead, it belonged to Munna. Thus, they realized that Munna might have set up a trap. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Scorching Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains that those floating yellow lights are humans going back to human world after being defeated by Kyurem. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Tyrian Maze]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the [[Glacier Palace - Eastern Spire]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - Western Spire]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Bittercold]] lurks. The Bittercold unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Bittercold alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Bittercold, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Great Spire cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Bittercold will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Bittercold unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Bittercold attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Bittercold with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Bittercold lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Bittercold will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, and gave the partner's Frism to the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the Frism. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

==Shops==
As with past [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games this game features shops. [[Kangaskhan Storage]] has been removed in favor of a storage chest next to Kecleon Shop that serves the same function, known as the Deposit Box. There is also one in the [[Pokémon Paradise]], and they can be used to store money and items, as well as building materials and treasure boxes. Like in the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, items are collective and are grouped based on item type rather than being individual items.

As the player progresses throughout the game, they can change the town by adding new shops to their own personal liking; similarly to [[Join Avenue]] from {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

*[[Kecleon Shop]]: As in previous titles, [[Kecleon]] runs this shop. The player can buy general goods here.
* Treasure Shop: {{p|Rampardos}} runs this shop. Like {{p|Xatu}}'s shop from the previous games, the player can open treasure chests they find here.
* Glorious Gold: {{p|Cofagrigus}} runs this shop. The player may exchange Gold Bars (found on Sparkling Tiles in dungeons) for various items or money.
* Gift shop: {{p|Cinccino}} runs this shop. The player may purchase recruitment gifts here with various items and Poké.
* DLC shop: {{p|Foongus}} runs a small DLC shop next to Cofagrigus's, where the player may choose to return to the main menu and purchase DLC dungeons.
* Scraggy's Savvy Moves: {{p|Scraggy}} runs a small shop in the Pokémon Paradise. The player and their teammates can remember and forget moves here.
* Quagsire's shop: {{p|Quagsire}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and has both a shop and a place for you to organize your party members.
* Victini's V-Wheel: {{p|Victini}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and allows you to change the V-wave of that particular day. You can spin the wheel once a day.

==Demo==

The game demo was released on the Nintendo eShop on March 7, 2013 in the US.

The demo follows the storyline as usual, but the player will not be able to explore Hazy Pass or any locations afterward. However, Magnagate dungeons can still be played, but the player will not be able to save dungeons to be replayed later and Magnagates will not change based on size or color of objects. Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and was released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game. A total of 144 Pokémon appear in the game. Despite this, a maximum of 288 Pokémon can be recruited.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, allowing players to receive prizes based on how well they did on the game.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle is brought along with the player's Pokémon, the obstacle will disappear when the playable Pokémon touches it. {{Type|Fire}} and {{Type|Water}} Pokémon can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, {{Type|Poison}} and {{Type|Steel}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud, {{Type|Ghost}} and {{Type|Dark}} Pokémon can get rid of the mist, and ice can be eliminated by {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons, based on a "Mysteriosity" rating. In the main dungeon selection menu and on the Request Boards, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, floors having no rooms and only corridors, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons. If they occur in a mission, the player will be returned to the normal dungeon on the floor of the mission or earlier.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop, or if in a Magnagate dungeon.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it. In [[Mt. Travail]] (DLC), there are tiles that will grant the effect of a Training Seed for the rest of the floor, etc. Mysteriosity aura floors may also have other special tiles.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skill]]s replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

Traps can now occur at the entrances to rooms, unlike previous games where the first tile after a hallway was guaranteed to not hold traps.

Enemy Pokémon can evolve if they defeat one of the party members or if they are given a certain item. This often happens in Magnagate Dungeons.

If items are dropped in water, fire, or chasms, they are automatically placed on the nearest path, contrary to previous games where they were submerged or destroyed.

In old Mystery Dungeon games, the job bulletin board will have 2 lists, but in this game there are 5 for both boards

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. {{tt|The player chooses the gender of the Pokémon chosen|Japanese version only}}. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, and the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}. Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Team Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Team Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Wheel where Poké can be wagered to change the day's V-Wave. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Mountain Pass]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Inflora Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Meadow]] and [[Tempting Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Crags of Lament]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Telluric Path]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Great Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacial Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and Frisms, which are capable of storing voices. The partner then tries to record his voice in one of the Frisms, which he succeeds at, and immediately replays his voice by warming the Frism. Virizion finds a Frism with something recorded in it, as Dunsparce warms it up as well. Keldeo's voice is heard from the Frism, as Virizion begins to cry, finding out that Keldeo did make it to the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Redland Reaches]] and [[Eastern Savanna]] dungeons.

After finishing a request or dungeon, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing another request or dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after another mission is done, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Kilionea Road]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Forest of Shadows]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Ochre Quarry]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withered Savanna]] dungeon.

After making it past 17F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the Frisms in the Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Holehills]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, and the partner's voice can be heard from inside of it, confirming that Munna does have the partner with her.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a Frism is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the Frism that had the partner's voice inside realizing that it wasn't the partner's. Instead, it belonged to Munna. Thus, they realized that Munna might have set up a trap. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Scorching Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains that those floating yellow lights are humans going back to human world after being defeated by Kyurem. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Tyrian Maze]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the [[Glacier Palace - Eastern Spire]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - Western Spire]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Bittercold]] lurks. The Bittercold unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Bittercold alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Bittercold, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Great Spire cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Bittercold will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Bittercold unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Bittercold attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Bittercold with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Bittercold lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Bittercold will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, and gave the partner's Frism to the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the Frism. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

==After the main story-line==
The player starts out as their partner Pokémon for several days until they complete the [[Worldcore]] and make a wish for their playable Pokémon to return. The player decides whether to return or not and evolution may not happen until they return to Pokémon Paradise. After the player returns to Pokémon Paradise and completes one dungeon, both Pokémon and recruited Pokémon may now evolve if the player chooses to evolve them inside of dungeons. The leading Pokémon may also be changed as well.

==Shops==
As with past [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games this game features shops. [[Kangaskhan Storage]] has been removed in favor of a storage chest next to Kecleon Shop that serves the same function, known as the Deposit Box. There is also one in the [[Pokémon Paradise]], and they can be used to store money and items, as well as building materials and treasure boxes. Like in the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, items are collective and are grouped based on item type rather than being individual items.

As the player progresses throughout the game, they can change the town by adding new shops to their own personal liking; similarly to [[Join Avenue]] from {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

*[[Kecleon Shop]]: As in previous titles, [[Kecleon]] runs this shop. The player can buy general goods here.
* Treasure Shop: {{p|Rampardos}} runs this shop. Like {{p|Xatu}}'s shop from the previous games, the player can open treasure chests they find here.

* Gift shop: {{p|Cinccino}} runs this shop. The player may purchase recruitment gifts here with various items and Poké.
* DLC shop: {{p|Foongus}} runs a small DLC shop next to Cofagrigus's, where the player may choose to return to the main menu and purchase DLC dungeons.

* Quagsire's shop: {{p|Quagsire}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and has both a shop and a place for you to organize your party members.
* Victini's V-Wheel: {{p|Victini}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and allows you to change the V-wave of that particular day. You can spin the wheel once a day.

==Demo==

The game demo was released on the Nintendo eShop on March 7, 2013 in the US.

The demo follows the storyline as usual, but the player will not be able to explore Hazy Pass or any locations afterward. However, Magnagate dungeons can still be played, but the player will not be able to save dungeons to be replayed later and Magnagates will not change based on size or color of objects. Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

* This is the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game to be released without being tied to another game in the series.
* This is the second Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game that the {{player}} can choose their Pokémon, with the first games where the player selected their own Pokémon being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare games]], unlike the earlier games in the series where a quiz chose the kind of Pokémon the player would be.
* When first meeting {{p|Swanna}} in the English version of the game, she makes a statement that references {{wp|Carly Rae Jepsen}}'s song, "{{wp|Call Me Maybe}}".
* In the Japanese version, players are able to select the gender for their partner Pokémon. In the English version, there is no gender selection.
* The team name that Emolga suggests, "Emolga's Enforcers" is too long for the space provided.
* The Pokémon that are seen chasing {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Purugly}} and {{p|Toxicroak}}, are also the siganture Pokémon of two [[Mars|Galactic]] [[Saturn|Commanders]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and was released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game. A total of 144 Pokémon appear in the game. Despite this, a maximum of 288 Pokémon can be recruited.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, allowing players to receive prizes based on how well they did on the game.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle is brought along with the player's Pokémon, the obstacle will disappear when the playable Pokémon touches it. {{Type|Fire}} and {{Type|Water}} Pokémon can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, {{Type|Poison}} and {{Type|Steel}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud, {{Type|Ghost}} and {{Type|Dark}} Pokémon can get rid of the mist, and ice can be eliminated by {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons, based on a "Mysteriosity" rating. In the main dungeon selection menu and on the Request Boards, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, floors having no rooms and only corridors, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons. If they occur in a mission, the player will be returned to the normal dungeon on the floor of the mission or earlier.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop, or if in a Magnagate dungeon.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it. In [[Mt. Travail]] (DLC), there are tiles that will grant the effect of a Training Seed for the rest of the floor, etc. Mysteriosity aura floors may also have other special tiles.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skill]]s replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

Traps can now occur at the entrances to rooms, unlike previous games where the first tile after a hallway was guaranteed to not hold traps.

Enemy Pokémon can evolve if they defeat one of the party members or if they are given a certain item. This often happens in Magnagate Dungeons.

If items are dropped in water, fire, or chasms, they are automatically placed on the nearest path, contrary to previous games where they were submerged or destroyed.

In old Mystery Dungeon games, the job bulletin board will have 2 lists, but in this game there are 5 for both lists

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. {{tt|The player chooses the gender of the Pokémon chosen|Japanese version only}}. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, and the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}. Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Team Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Team Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Wheel where Poké can be wagered to change the day's V-Wave. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Mountain Pass]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Inflora Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Meadow]] and [[Tempting Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Crags of Lament]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Telluric Path]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Great Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacial Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and Frisms, which are capable of storing voices. The partner then tries to record his voice in one of the Frisms, which he succeeds at, and immediately replays his voice by warming the Frism. Virizion finds a Frism with something recorded in it, as Dunsparce warms it up as well. Keldeo's voice is heard from the Frism, as Virizion begins to cry, finding out that Keldeo did make it to the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Redland Reaches]] and [[Eastern Savanna]] dungeons.

After finishing a request or dungeon, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing another request or dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after another mission is done, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Kilionea Road]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Forest of Shadows]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Ochre Quarry]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withered Savanna]] dungeon.

After making it past 17F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the Frisms in the Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Holehills]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, and the partner's voice can be heard from inside of it, confirming that Munna does have the partner with her.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a Frism is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the Frism that had the partner's voice inside realizing that it wasn't the partner's. Instead, it belonged to Munna. Thus, they realized that Munna might have set up a trap. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Scorching Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains that those floating yellow lights are humans going back to human world after being defeated by Kyurem. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Tyrian Maze]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the [[Glacier Palace - Eastern Spire]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - Western Spire]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Bittercold]] lurks. The Bittercold unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Bittercold alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Bittercold, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Great Spire cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Bittercold will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Bittercold unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Bittercold attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Bittercold with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Bittercold lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Bittercold will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, and gave the partner's Frism to the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the Frism. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

There is also one in the [[Pokémon Paradise]], and they can be used to store money and items, as well as building materials and treasure boxes. Like in the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, items are collective and are grouped based on item type rather than being individual items.

As the player progresses throughout the game, they can change the town by adding new shops to their own personal liking; similarly to [[Join Avenue]] from {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

*[[Kecleon Shop]]: As in previous titles, [[Kecleon]] runs this shop. The player can buy general goods here.
* Treasure Shop: {{p|Rampardos}} runs this shop. Like {{p|Xatu}}'s shop from the previous games, the player can open treasure chests they find here.
* Glorious Gold: {{p|Cofagrigus}} runs this shop. The player may exchange Gold Bars (found on Sparkling Tiles in dungeons) for various items or money.
* Gift shop: {{p|Cinccino}} runs this shop. The player may purchase recruitment gifts here with various items and Poké.
* DLC shop: {{p|Foongus}} runs a small DLC shop next to Cofagrigus's, where the player may choose to return to the main menu and purchase DLC dungeons.
* Scraggy's Savvy Moves: {{p|Scraggy}} runs a small shop in the Pokémon Paradise. The player and their teammates can remember and forget moves here.
* Quagsire's shop: {{p|Quagsire}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and has both a shop and a place for you to organize your party members.
* Victini's V-Wheel: {{p|Victini}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and allows you to change the V-wave of that particular day. You can spin the wheel once a day.

==Demo==

The game demo was released on the Nintendo eShop on March 7, 2013 in the US.

The demo follows the storyline as usual, but the player will not be able to explore Hazy Pass or any locations afterward. However, Magnagate dungeons can still be played, but the player will not be able to save dungeons to be replayed later and Magnagates will not change based on size or color of objects. Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and was released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] Pokémon such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, though their purpose is currently unknown.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle touches the door, the obstacle will disappear. {{Type|Fire}} and {{Type|Water}} can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, and {{Type|Poison}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons. In the main dungeon selection menu, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skills]] replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. The player is able to choose the gender of the Pokémon chosen. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, as the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}, as Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Everyone Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Everyone Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Roulette wheel where Poké can be wagered. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Ravine Path]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Color Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Plains]] and [[Alluring Return Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Wailing Valley]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Ley Line Gorge]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Big Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Icy Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and what looks like crystallized rocks. One of the crystallized rock begins to glow, as the Pokémon try to warm it up and the crystallized rock stops glowing. Virizion finds another glowing crystallized rock, as Dunsparce warms it up as well and it stops glowing. A voice is heard from the rock, as Virizion begins to cry. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Red Land]] and [[East Savanna]] dungeons.

After completing one of the two dungeons, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing the next dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after completing another mission, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Genoware Shortcut]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Dark Night Forest]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Yellow Canyon]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withering Plains]] dungeon.

After making it past 12F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the frozen crystallized rocks in the Glacier Palace dungeon, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Windhole Hill]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, as Toxicroak's voice can be heard from inside of it.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a crystallized rock is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the crystallized rock that had Toxicroak's voice inside. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Blazing Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains it. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Cyan Lost Road]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the ([[Glacier Palace - East Tower]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - West Tower]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Big Crystal Tower]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Glacial Body]] lurks. The Glacial Body unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Glacial Body alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Glacial Body, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Big Crystal Tower cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Glacial Body will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Glacial Body unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Glacial Body attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Glacial Body with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Glacial Body lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Glacial Body will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, as a crystallized rock with a voice inside appears in front of the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the crystallized rock. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

==After the main story-line==
The player starts out as their partner Pokémon for several days until they complete the [[World's Navel]] and make a wish for their playable Pokémon to return. The player decides whether to return or not and evolution may not happen until they return to Pokémon Paradise. After the player returns to Pokémon Paradise and completes one dungeon, both Pokémon and recruited Pokémon may now evolve if the player chooses to evolve them inside of dungeons. The leading Pokémon may also be changed as well.

Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and is scheduled to be released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] Pokémon such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game though some such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}} are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, though their purpose is currently unknown.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, you start off as level 7 but in the other Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, you will start off as level 5

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle touches the door, the obstacle will disappear. {{Type|Fire}} and {{Type|Water}} can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, and {{Type|Poison}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons. In the main dungeon selection menu, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. The eraser-looking shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skills]] replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. The player is able to choose the gender of the Pokémon chosen. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, as the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}, as Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Everyone Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Everyone Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Roulette wheel where Poké can be wagered. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Ravine Path]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Color Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Plains]] and [[Alluring Return Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Wailing Valley]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Ley Line Gorge]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Big Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Icy Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and what looks like crystallized rocks. One of the crystallized rock begins to glow, as the Pokémon try to warm it up and the crystallized rock stops glowing. Virizion finds another glowing crystallized rock, as Dunsparce warms it up as well and it stops glowing. A voice is heard from the rock, as Virizion begins to cry. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Red Land]] and [[East Savanna]] dungeons.

After completing one of the two dungeons, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing the next dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after completing another mission, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Genoware Shortcut]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Dark Night Forest]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Yellow Canyon]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withering Plains]] dungeon.

After making it past 12F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the frozen crystallized rocks in the Glacier Palace dungeon, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Windhole Hill]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, as Toxicroak's voice can be heard from inside of it.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a crystallized rock is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the crystallized rock that had Toxicroak's voice inside. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Blazing Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains it. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Cyan Lost Road]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the ([[Glacier Palace - East Tower]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - West Tower]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Big Crystal Tower]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Glacial Body]] lurks. The Glacial Body unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Glacial Body alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Glacial Body, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Big Crystal Tower cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Glacial Body will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Glacial Body unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Glacial Body attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Glacial Body with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Glacial Body lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Glacial Body will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, as a crystallized rock with a voice inside appears in front of the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the crystallized rock. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

==After the main story-line==
The player starts out as their partner Pokémon for several days until they complete the [[World's Navel]] and make a wish for their playable Pokémon to return. The player decides whether to return or not and evolution may not happen until they return to Pokémon Paradise.

[[File:Younger James.png|thumb|250px|Younger James and Growlie]]
An only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society while growing up. Often having to take part in numerous lessons and activities he had little to no interest in, he eventually began to grow weary of the rules and standards that appeared to be ever-present within the upper-class.

At a young age, he was engaged to a girl named [[Jessiebelle]]. It was revealed in ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]'' that he wanted to marry her at some point but he changed his mind after he saw how controlling and overbearing she was. Unable to stand her, he ran away, leaving his lavish lifestyle as well as beloved pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], behind.
[[File:Trainer James.png|thumb|James as "Trainer James" when he was part of the bike bridge gang]]
He then enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' school, where he met [[Jessie]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, as revealed in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where James was known for using training wheels, acquiring the nicknames "Little Jim" and "Trainer James".

[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first appearance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie 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.

In the episode ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his home as a result of a trap by [[James's parents|his parents]], who pretended to be dead in order to get him to come back to the estate, knowing he would return to pay his respects. He suspected that it was a trap, but he ended up being forced into participating by Jessie and Meowth, who wanted the fortune. After the deception was revealed, he was once again subjected to Jessiebelle's torment until Growlie came to his rescue. After temporarily chasing Jessiebelle away, James soon left his family's manor and as a result declined his inheritance. Growlie stayed behind upon James's request when he returned to Jessie and Meowth.

[[File:James BW anime.png|thumb|James in the {{series|Best Wishes}} from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''|220px]]
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from {{an|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, making them use only Pokémon native to Unova. Unknown to the trio, Giovanni was not certain they would be successful; however, he knew that their presence in the region would force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves. In ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Jessie and James go back to their white uniforms. The trio seems to be more serious and are much less comedic than before, using thought-out methods of escape, such as jetpacks, and thus have not been sent blasting off in the ''Best Wishes'' series. They also appear much less often than in previous series.

Along with [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}, James reappeared in [[BW109]].

===Character===
[[File:James disguised as Juan.png|200px|thumb|right|James disguised as [[Juan]]]]
James has shown to be relatively well versed in various activities, including Pokémon Haiku, [[Pokémon Orienteering]], and [[PokéRinger]], among other things. It is possible that he developed his skills during his temporary separation from Jessie, or even from the many lessons he was enrolled in as a child.

James also has a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|tendency to cross-dress]], but has not done it since ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', with the exception of the occasional impersonation of characters such as [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and Jessie. In fact, ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' marks the first time he cross-dresses in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, though it was him disguised as [[Jessie|Jessalina]]. He also often dresses up like famous celebrities as well, such as {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Juan]], and [[Norman]], and impersonates other non-human objects, including Pokémon, animals, and even bushes and trees.

[[File:James Croagunk card.png|200px|thumb|right|One of James's Pokédex cards, detailing about [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]]]]
James loves rare bottle caps and has an impressive collection of them. This hobby started when he was a young child. In the episode ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' it is revealed that he has "drunk enough soda pop to float an aircraft carrier".

At times, instead of a [[Pokédex]], he uses a deck of cards to identify Pokémon, such as in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' when he first learns of Croagunk's Poison Jab with it, or in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'' when he uses it to look up Hippopotas (explaining why he knows the Pokémon to be named "Hippopotas" and not "Hippopontas" as Jessie calls it). They appear to have the same entry as an electronic Pokédex, including a few basic parameters like height and weight, though it is unknown how many Pokémon they include (however, he seems to have used them mostly for Sinnoh Pokémon thus far).

Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle as a child, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, he'll seem very lost without his companions. James also appears to have the most conscience among the three, and is the least prone to backstabbing someone who is kind to him. He can actually be quite sinister when he wants to, however.

James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character, has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money.

Throughout most of the series, James and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always blundering their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. However, in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, he, along with the rest of his team, has developed a more serious attitude in his work.

===Pokémon===
As the standards of the Team Rocket organization dictated, James was first shown with a Poison-type Pokémon. However, James seems to have a fondness for carnivorous (or at least dangerous) {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, owning {{p|Weepinbell}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Carnivine}}. It was shown during a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' how James, as a boy, found {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]]. It was trapped in the mud and James rescued it, the two forming a bond of friendship. The capture of a {{p|Cacnea}} early in Hoenn furthered his apparent preference for Grass-types. Often, when going into battle, his Grass Pokémon will show great affection towards James, which usually results in pain for him since all of them either have sharp teeth or spines. It is also shown that James develops a strong bond with each of his Pokémon in general; James almost treats them as his own children, and they in turn are all greatly attached to him. This could stem from the childhood memories he occasionally brings up, where it is shown that while growing up James hadn't really had any friends other than his Pokémon. When it comes time to leave a Pokémon behind for one reason or another, James often has great difficulty in letting go of his beloved friends, as shown in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' when he had to release his {{TP|James|Weezing}}.

While he has not accomplished much as a member of Team Rocket, James has proven to be quite skilled at several other pursuits. He has performed well in a few side competitions, even winning a [[Pokémon Contest]].

* [[Pokémon Orienteering]] (winner)
* {{to|Lilypad}} [[Contest]] (winner; gave [[Ribbon]] to Jessie)

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
Both Jessie and James appear in {{game|Yellow}} as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the main character 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 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}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|250px|James and Jessie]]
* James is mostly a comedic parody of ''bishounen'' characters; the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub in particular tends to give him a melodramatic and even campy tone.
* James at times uses the name Jameson.
* James hasn't evolved any of his Pokémon since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.
* He is one of the only main characters to, after being given his first Pokémon, at one point not have any Pokémon on hand, if one doesn't count the events depicted in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. This was in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' during the brief moment after he released {{TP|James|Weezing}} and before he caught {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. The other characters were {{Ash}} briefly when he was traveling to [[Hoenn]], and [[Jessie]] at the beginning of Team Rocket's travels in [[Unova]].
* James is the only main character to have [[James's Victreebel|one Pokémon]] and release/give it away, then get [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|another Pokémon of the same species]].
* James was the first main character to release [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Gyarados|a Pokémon]].
* A running gag in the anime involves James's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon hurting him in a show of affection.
* In the main series games, James and [[Jessie]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when Kanto is revisited, and (being exclusive to Pokémon Yellow) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a newswoman on Area 4 of Mt. Battle references James stating that she's looking for someone with the same Pokémon as she has. The Pokémon she uses are {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Chimecho}}.
* He shares both his Japanese and Brazilian voice actors with Ryusuke Yamino, from {{wp|The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Detective Loki}}.
* Excluding Victreebel, James has never battled any of his Pokémon before catching them.
* James has owned a Grass-type Pokémon from every other Generation but [[Generation II]], excluding the {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Hoppip}} he bought disguised as a {{p|Chimecho}} and possessed only for a short peroid of time, not even actually catching it inside of a [[Poké Ball]] before it flew away.

===Name origin===
James's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. His Japanese name, Kojirō, is taken from 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', a prominent Japanese swordsman most famous for being killed by his rival, 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', the namesake of Jessie. Also, 二郎 ''Jirō'' is a name meaning "second son," while 三郎 ''Saburō'' means "third son." Kojirō takes advantage of ''Jirō'', while the Japanese name of [[Butch]], Kosaburō, takes advantage of ''Saburō''.

==Trivia==
* Eelektross and its {{p|Tynamo|evolutionary}} {{p|Eelektrik|relatives}} are the only Pokémon, aside from {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} types, to have no weaknesses. However, this is due to their ability, {{a|Levitate}}, which eliminates their sole weakness to the {{t|Ground}} type, and not because of type matchups.
** They are also the only single-type Pokémon with no weaknesses.
** However, they cannot be made invincible if given {{a|Wonder Guard}}, as it replaces Levitate, thus making them weak to {{type|Ground}} attacks.
** Also, they are the only weakness-free Pokémon that have evolutionary relatives.
* Despite being based on marine animals, and living in the ocean, Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives are not {{type|Water}}, cannot learn any Water-type moves other than {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Aqua Tail}}, and are not found near water in the wild.
* Although it has the Levitate ability, it can be heard landing on the floor when sent out of its Poké Ball. It shares this trait with {{p|Gengar}}.

===Origin===
Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives may be based on {{wp|electric eels}}, {{wp|Agnatha}}, and possibly {{wp|leeches}}. The fact that it is Electric-type may be an allusion to {{wp|bioelectrogenesis}}.

====Name origin====
Eelektross is a combination of ''eel'', a corruption of ''electric'', and ''boss'' or ''gross''.

Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ ''shibire'' (numbness) or しびれうなぎ ''shibireunagi'' (electric eel) and ''don'' (Latin for ''lord'', referring to Eelektross being the final evolution; Ancient Greek for ''tooth'', referring to its mouth).

==Trivia==
* Eelektross and its {{p|Tynamo|evolutionary}} {{p|Eelektrik|relatives}} are the only Pokémon, aside from {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} types, to have no weaknesses. However, this is due to their ability, {{a|Levitate}}, which eliminates their sole weakness to the {{t|Ground}} type, and not because of type matchups.
** They are also the only single-type Pokémon with no weaknesses.
** However, they cannot be made invincible if given {{a|Wonder Guard}}, as it replaces Levitate, thus making them weak to {{type|Ground}} attacks.
** Also, they are the only weakness-free Pokémon that have evolutionary relatives.
* Despite being based on marine animals, and living in the ocean, Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives are not {{type|Water}}, cannot learn any Water-type moves other than {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Aqua Tail}}, and are not found near water in the wild.
* Although it has the Levitate ability, it can be heard landing on the floor when sent out of its Poké Ball. It shares this trait with {{p|Gengar}}.

===Origin===
Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives may be based on {{wp|electric eels}}, {{wp|Agnatha}}, and possibly {{wp|leeches}}. The fact that it is Electric-type may be an allusion to {{wp|bioelectrogenesis}}.

====Name origin====
Eelektross is a combination of ''eel'', a corruption of ''electric'', and ''boss'' or ''gross''.

Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ ''shibire'' (numbness) or しびれうなぎ ''shibireunagi'' (electric eel) and ''don'' (Latin for ''lord'', referring to Eelektross being the final evolution; Ancient Greek for ''tooth'', referring to its mouth).

==Trivia==
* Foongus, along with its evolution, is similar to {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in that it resembles a [[Poké Ball]].
** However, unlike Voltorb and Electrode, it only has a Poké Ball design on it, instead of being in the shape of one.
** Likewise, it features the whole design, complete with the circle resembling the button in the middle (contrary to Voltorb's evolution line having just the shape and general colors, and according to the Pokédex, being transformed Poké Balls themselves).
** Foongus's {{Shiny}} form's coloration is reminiscent of that of the [[Master Ball]]. It shares this trait with {{p|Amoonguss|its evolved form}}.
* Foongus and its evolved form, {{p|Amoonguss}}, share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, and {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** These are also the only Pokémon that can have the Ability {{a|Effect Spore}} other than as a Hidden Ability.
* Despite being based on a mushroom, Foongus and its evolution can learn and use {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Synthesis}}. They share this degree of similarity with {{p|Vileplume}}, who is based on the ''{{wp|rafflesia}}'', which cannot perform photosynthesis, like the mushroom.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on ''{{wp|amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|agaricus}}'' genus, due to it being {{type|Poison}}. The cap is designed to look like the front of a Poké Ball.

====Name origin====
Foongus is a corruption of ''{{wp|fungus}}'' and may be a combination of ''fool'' (to deceive, referencing its use of its Poké Ball-like cap to attract unsuspecting prey) and ''fungus''. Together with {{p|Amoonguss|its evolution}}, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us."

Tamagetake may be a combination of 玉 ''tama'' (sphere), 魂消る ''tamageru'' (to be astonished), and 茸 ''take'' ({{wp|mushroom}}, or more specifically, the ''{{wp|Shiitake}}'' mushroom).

==Trivia==
* Woobat was first seen on [[a:File:BW anime.png|concept art]] from the {{series|Best Wishes}} along with {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Axew}}.
* [[Karl]] in the 13th movie wears a baseball cap with a Woobat depicted on it.
* Woobat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Zubat}}'s family. Both of them are Bat Pokémon species, live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes; furthermore, both of them reach their respective fully-evolved form by [[friendship]].
** Also, Woobat and Zubat have somewhat similar English names, both having ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Woobat is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 313.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Woobat}}
Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}}, a white species of fruit bat, and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|Heart-nosed Bat}}.

====Name origin====
Woobat may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:woo|woo]]'' and ''bat''. It may also involve ''wool'' from its woolly appearance.

Koromori may be a combination of {{tt|心|こころ}} ''kokoro'' (heart) or ころころ ''korokoro'' (round) and コウモリ ''kōmori'' (bat).

It is scheduled to be released in Japan on November 23rd 2012.

==Features==
This game will implement full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It will also take advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a (Japanese: マグナゲート ''Magnagate''), leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

==Gameplay==
The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. The starting town is (Japanese: ポケモンパラダイス ''Pokémon Paradise'').

Many [[Unova]] Pokémon such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, though their purpose is currently unknown.

==Shops==
As with past [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games this game will feature shops.

As you progress throughout the game, you can change the town by adding new shops to your own personal liking.
This feature is similar to the [[Join Avenue]] from [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

*[[Kecleon Shop]]: As in previous titles, [[Kecleon]] will run this shop. The player can buy general goods here.
* Treasure Shop: {{p|Rampardos}} runs this shop. Not much else is known.
* Unknown shop: {{p|Cofagrigus}} runs this shop. Not much else is known.
* Unknown shop: {{p|Cinccino}} runs this shop. Not much else is known.
* Unknown shop: {{p|Deino}} runs this small shop next to Cofagrigus's. Not much else is known.
* Unknown shop: {{p|Foongus}} runs a small shop next to Cofagrigus's. Not much else is known.
* Unknown shop: {{p|Scraggy}} runs a small shop in town. The player and their teammates can remember and forget moves here.
* Unknown shop: {{p|Pansage}} runs a small shop in town. The player can grow a [[berry]] garden here much like the one in the [[Dream World]].

==Important characters==
* {{p|Dunsparce}}: Dunsparce gives the player quest requests. Dunsparce will also join your team during a certain point in the story.
* {{p|Emolga}}: A resident of Pokémon Paradise that will join your team during a certain point in the story.
* {{p|Azumarill}}: Runs the Notice Board, where missions can be obtained.
* {{p|Quagsire}}: Like {{p|Chimecho}} of the previous games, Quagsire will be able to add members to your team for dungeon explorations as well as view stats and other vital information of each Pokémon that you have recruited.
* {{p|Gurdurr}}: Helps with the building of new shops in Pokémon Paradise.

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

Darmanitan's [[Form differences#Darmanitan|appearance will change]] depending on its [[Ability]] and current [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like Pokémon. Darmanitan has long, bushy flame-colored eyebrows, curled at the beginning portions, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan-colored face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal stripe of red, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Darmanitan's head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan-colored hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan's underside sports a patterning of three tan-colored ovals.

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

===Special abilities===
Under normal circumstances, Darmanitan are immensely strong physically; a single punch can destroy a dump truck.

Darmanitan with the ability {{a|Zen Mode}} have access to a second Form, when they have less than half of their health left. In this form, they turn blue and become more like a Daruma doll that's hard as a rock. They also gain {{t|Psychic}} as a secondary type. They experience an exchange in their {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Attack}} stats, their {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} almost double, and their {{stat|Speed}} sharply drops. In "Zen Mode" they fight using their spiritual and emotional strength, but they're completely physically immobile. However, they can still use physical moves.

===Behavior===
These Pokémon are normally very active and fight using both physical and emotional strength.

A Darmanitan in Zen Mode is completely immobile, so it uses its psychic powers in place of its arms in order to do things such as gather and eat food.

===Habitat===
Like its pre-evolution {{p|Darumaka}}, Darmanitan are indigenous to the [[Desert Resort]] in [[Unova]].

According to [[Professor Juniper]], the five {{a|Zen Mode}} Darmanitan in front of the [[Relic Castle]] have been sleeping there for 2,500 years. They wake up when given a [[RageCandyBar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

===Major appearances===

A Darmanitan with {{a|Zen Mode}} along with two of its pre-evolved form {{p|Darumaka}} appeared in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]''. Darmanitan and the Darumaka lived in a Clock Tower. When the tower started to break, Darmanitan stopped the loose bell from collapsing. However, due to fatigue, it transformed into its Zen Mode and used its {{m|Psychic}} to keep the bell in midair, while the Darumaka stole food to keep its energy up.

A Darmanitan under the ownership of [[Bianca's father]] appeared in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'' in both Zen Mode and Standard Mode. It battled [[Ash's Oshawott]] and was victorious.

==Trivia==
* Darmanitan's Standard Mode has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Darmanitan's Zen Mode has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
* Darmanitan is the one of two Pokémon able to change into an alternative form, while its pre-evolutionary form cannot. The other is {{p|Cherrim}}, which is also part of a two stage evolutionary line.
* Despite the fact that Darmanitan's body is turned to stone during {{a|Zen Mode}}, it does not become part {{type|Rock}}.
*Zen Mode Darmanitan and [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] are the only Pokémon without individual Sugimori artwork, or even {{pkmn|Dream World}} art.

===Origin===
Darmanitan's physical appearance is based on an {{wp|ape}} and the {{wp|Daruma doll}}. It is also likely based on the the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}}—"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"—as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to its bold posture in Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may also be a reference to {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan is a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''. It may also involve ''titan''.

Hihidaruma is a combination of ヒヒ ''hihi'' (baboon) and ''Daruma'' and is a pun on 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' ("the state of being on fire").

(Japanese: '''爆進化！ゴウカザル！！''' ''Explosive Evolution! {{tt|Goukazaru|Infernape}}!!'') is the 163rd episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 629th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on February 11, 2010 and in the United States on July 10, 2010.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
It's a lovely sunny day as {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} are traveling through a small town on the way to [[Sunyshore City]] when they all notice a crowd has gathered to watch a Pokémon {{pkmn|battle}} taking place nearby. Deciding to stop and have a look, they are surprised to find that the person who is battling is none other than {{an|Barry}}, whose {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} is battling another Trainer's {{p|Mothim}}.

Barry has Empoleon use {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, which scores a direct hit on Mothim. His opponent has Mothim use {{m|Signal Beam}}, however Barry has Empoleon block it with its wings, receiving almost no damage from it. The crowd is very impressed, and Brock notes that Empoleon is a lot stronger than when they last saw it. Barry has Empoleon use {{m|Metal Claw}} and Empoleon powers up and heads towards Mothim. The Trainer tries to counter with {{m|Silver Wind}}; however, Empoleon expertly dodges the attack and strikes Mothim, knocking it out. The Trainer sees to his Mothim while Barry congratulates Empoleon and the crowd cheers his excellent victory. As Barry laps up the kudos he stops Ash and the others and happily greets his friend and rival.

Later, as the group relax Barry catches up with Ash and asks how {{AP|Gible}}'s training to master {{m|Draco Meteor}} is coming along. Ash is forced to confess that it isn't going very well at the moment, which disappoints Barry. Barry proceeds to tell Ash that he'll never earn the eight Badges he needs for the [[Sinnoh League]] if his Pokémon can't master their moves. Ash tells Barry he's still headed for [[Sunyshore Gym]], which makes Barry and Empoleon laugh. After being asked what's so amusing, Barry tells everyone that he's already been to Sunyshore Gym... and earned the [[badge]]! To prove it, Barry shows off his collection of Badges and it turns out that he's gathered all eight he requires for the Sinnoh League. Dawn tells Ash that now he has to catch up to both Barry and [[Paul]], and Barry is excited to hear that Paul has also collected the eight Badges he needs and tells Ash that he needs to get a move on and reach Sunyshore Gym. Barry then shows off the {{badge|Beacon}} he got from Sunyshore Gym and tells Ash that Sunyshore Gym was the best of all. This naturally makes Ash all the more excited for the battle to earn his eighth Badge.

Meanwhile, at {{TRT}}'s temporary base, [[James]] announces that after analyzing their previous failed plans, he is going to take charge of the next attempt to nab {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are incredulous, but still listen as James explains that the main problem with their previous schemes is that they have always been stealing the Pokémon then trying to flee. This, in turn, allows the [[twerp]]s to counter-attack and send them blasting off. However, if they were to instead trap the twerps, ''then'' grab the Pokémon and flee they could then make a clean getaway. Jessie and Meowth both like the idea and decide to get started at once.

Back in town, the group are all feeling pretty hungry so decide to stop at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. [[Nurse Joy]] greets the four and Brock naturally goes to greet Nurse Joy in his own unique (and creepy) style. Luckily both Brock and Nurse Joy are put out of their misery by {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s {{m|Poison Jab}}. Just then Dawn spots someone familiar across the room... Paul! She points him out to Ash, who hasn't seen his rival since his [[DP132|massive loss]] against him in their [[Full Battle]]. While Ash is surprised, Barry is very excited to meet the Trainer he admires so much. Going straight over to him as Paul prepares to leave, Barry introduces himself, telling Paul he has also earned eight Badges and challenges him to a battle. Paul is clearly unimpressed with Barry and declines the offer, which surprises Barry who, after threatening to fine him, tells Paul that he has a reputation as a really strong Trainer with really strong Pokémon and he presses the point that he'd love to battle him. Paul responds by telling Barry that he's currently declining all challenges at the moment. Now he's earned his eight Badges, Paul is now in the middle of serious training for the Sinnoh League and he won't risk his Pokémon's condition by having a 'pointless' battle. Barry insists that a battle against him won't be pointless, but Paul tells Barry that if he's ''that'' desperate for a battle he should battle Ash. Barry doesn't want to battle Ash, as he doesn't believe that Ash is on their level since he only has seven Badges.

Ash tells Paul that he knows he has earned all eight Badges after [[DP155|seeing the news report about it]], however the air between the two is distinctly chilly and Barry asks what the story is between the two to which Dawn just tells him it's a long one. Ash tells Paul that he plans on getting his eighth Badge at Sunyshore Gym, however Paul's reaction to the mention of Sunyshore Gym is very different to Barry's. Paul angrily tells Ash that he doesn't consider Sunyshore City's Gym to be worthy of the title of Gym, surprising Barry who tells Paul that he considered it to be the best Gym however Paul tells Barry it isn't the best Gym... it's the worst of them all. Dawn and Brock are left confused by these total opposite statements, and are now very curious about just what Sunyshore Gym has in store for them. Paul then leaves, and Barry tries to shout him back and then angrily tells him he's getting a fine. Ash calms Barry down by telling him he's bound to encounter Paul again someday and warns him that when he does get to battle him, he shouldn't let down his guard for a second. Barry asks exactly what happened between the two of them, and Ash tells Barry that he and Paul had a Full Battle (earning Barry's jealousy) and that even though he lost, Ash considers it to have been a good battle. Barry asks how Ash can think so well of a battle that he lost, and Ash tells Barry that the battle taught him that while he may be a good Trainer there's still a lot he needs to do if he wants to be the best and vows that the next time he and Paul battle he will definitely win. Barry is impressed by Ash's determination and decides to follow Paul's advice and challenge Ash to a battle which Ash accepts.

Just then, the latest update regarding [[Pokémon Contests]] appears on TV, catching Dawn's attention. [[Marian]] appears with the latest news regarding the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]], announcing that the event will be held at [[Valor Lakefront]]. Ash notes this was also the location of the [[Wallace Cup]], and Marian continues with news that any {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who have not yet completed their requirement of five [[Ribbon]]s needn't give up as there as still seven Contests remaining before the Festival. Nearby are (the disguised) Team Rocket who are also listening to the news, and Jessie is very excited to hear that her own goal is not yet out of reach. Having earned three Ribbons at the {{to|Solaceon}}, {{to|Majolica}} and {{to|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Jessie only needs two more and she is determined to get to the Grand Festival too. Ash notes the coincidence that the Grand Festival is being held in the same place that Dawn earned the [[Aqua Ribbon]]. Checking his [[Pokégear]], Brock tells the group they should continue on to Sunyshore City then backtrack to [[Lake Valor]] afterwards. Dawn knows that she'll need to use the spare time to start working on new [[Contest combination]]s, and Barry wishes Dawn best of luck in the Festival and then reminds Ash they're meant to be battling. The group run out of the center, while Jessie tries to leave to get her two Ribbons only to be reminded that today Team Rocket are trying to nab Pikachu and Piplup.

It's decided the match will be composed of three one-on-one battles, Brock will referee and Dawn uses the [[Coin Toss]] application on her [[Pokétch]] to decide who goes first. Barry wins the toss, and he and Ash decide to bring out their Pokémon at the same time. Throwing the [[Poké Ball]]s, Barry sends out Empoleon first while Ash starts with {{AP|Monferno}}. Barry is happy, knowing that as Empoleon is {{type|Water}} it will have the advantage over the {{type|Fire}} Monferno. However Ash and Monferno are ready to show Barry a Pokémon battle is about a lot more than just type and with that, Brock begins the match.

Barry starts off by having Empoleon use Hydro Cannon, and Ash responds by having Monferno dodge it and use {{m|Mach Punch}}. Monferno quickly evades the Hydro Cannon and lands a direct hit on Empoleon, leaving Barry astonished at Monferno’s high speed. Meanwhile Paul is walking past the battle area and, unnoticed, decides to stop and watch when he sees Ash is using Monferno. Ash boasts that with the high speed of Mach Punch, Monferno can easily overcome the type-disadvantage it has over Empoleon. Barry decides to try {{m|Drill Peck}}, however Ash tells Monferno to use {{m|Dig}} and the Playful Pokémon is able to dodge the {{type|Flying}} move leaving Barry even more frustrated, especially when Monferno emerges from the ground and lands another hard hit on Empoleon. Both Ash and Dawn comment on how this kind of fluid battling is just what is expected of Monferno as it goes in for another Mach Punch. Barry has Empoleon use Hydro Cannon, and while this time it hits it lands at such close range that Monferno is sent flying into some nearby trees. Ash and Dawn are both worried, while Barry curses himself knowing he used far too much power against Monferno. Ash starts calling for Monferno, however there is no response.

Just then, a plastic capsule flies out of the air heading towards Ash and Dawn calls for him to look out. However it’s no use and upon catching up to him it seals itself around him, trapping him inside. He pounds on the capsule and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on it how the capsule is electricity-proof and the attack has no effect. The others are about to go and help when suddenly three more capsules appear, and Ash screams for the others to run for it. Brock, Dawn and Barry try to escape, but the capsules are too fast and all three are trapped. Piplup tries using his beak to free Dawn but it’s no use and a distraught Piplup looks up to hear the laughter of Team Rocket as they descend in the Meowth balloon and start reciting their motto. Pikachu, Piplup and Empoleon use Thunderbolt, {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Hydro Cannon against Team Rocket however as they do the balloon itself starts to deflate while arms and legs emerge from the basket. The arms deflect the attacks and grab the three Pokémon and deposit them in a cage as Team Rocket finish the motto. Ash, Dawn and Barry are horrified that it seems their Pokémon will be taken by the villainous trio while Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and has her use {{m|Pound}} to try to break the capsule, however even Happiny’s strength can’t break it and instead the capsule is sent spinning. Team Rocket boast that the capsules are unbreakable from the inside and prepare to make their getaway.

Suddenly a pillar of fire emerges from the nearby trees, transforms itself into an extra-powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}} and heads towards Team Rocket’s mecha. It circles around, leaving Barry confused and the others worried about what this might indicate. The Flame Wheel then goes towards Ash is able to smash the capsule trapping him. The Flame Wheel then lands and Monferno emerges... however its eyes are colored pink, confirming that Monferno has accessed {{a|Blaze}}! Monferno then screams with fury as powerful flames emerge from its tail. Barry asks what’s happening and Brock and Dawn explain Blaze is Monferno’s [[Ability]], which kicks in when Monferno’s endurance is low and it's under stress. As a result Monferno’s Fire-type moves get a power-up, and Barry realizes that this happened because of the Hydro Cannon, however it is clear that Monferno has received far more than just a power-up.

Team Rocket can’t believe their luck and decide to get Monferno too as the troubled Pokémon would be a perfect addition to their team. Monferno starts pounding its chest and screaming in pure fury, and Ash runs to his Pokémon and tries holding it like [[DP081|he did before]] when it went into the same rage before it evolved from {{p|Chimchar}}. However Monferno is a lot stronger than it was before and furiously sends Ash flying back. Team Rocket take the chance to grab it and one of the arms manages to catch Monferno, however this isn’t enough and Monferno’s sheer power easily destroys the hand that’s holding it. It then powers up a Flame Wheel and heads towards Team Rocket, however Ash tries to block it and reminds the out-of-control Monferno that the other Pokémon are still trapped and could get hurt, however Monferno doesn’t care about Ash or any of the other Pokémon and hits Ash before continuing on and hits the basket causing an explosion. Monferno then comes around and uses Mach Punch, completely destroying the basket and sending Team Rocket blasting off as they commiserate another failed plan.

By now Monferno is completely out of control, and while the controls of the mecha were destroyed the main body survived and the Pokémon are still trapped. Without anyone controlling it, the legs start to buckle, threatening to crush the Pokémon still in the cage. Ash prepares to send out a Pokémon to help, when suddenly Paul sends out his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and has it use {{m|Protect}} to support the cage. Everyone is amazed that Paul is helping, while Paul tells Electabuzz to maintain Protect for as long as possible.

Unfortunately, Monferno decides to destroy the mecha completely, powers up a Flame Wheel, and damages one of the legs putting the Pokémon in far more danger. Monferno circles around and prepares for another hit, however, Ash is determined to save Monferno and all the Pokémon and intercepts the Flame Wheel, grabbing Monferno when it emerges and holds on tight. Ash begs Monferno to remember the [[DP051|promise he made]] back when it was a Chimchar and he took it under his wing when Paul released it, that they would become stronger together. Suddenly the flames emerging from Monferno surround both it and Ash, as he begs his Pokémon not to allow itself to be swallowed up by Blaze’s power but instead try to control it because if it can, then it can become even more powerful. Paul looks on in amazement at the power of the bond between Ash and Monferno.

Suddenly Electabuzz’s Protect fails, and the mecha starts to collapse, endangering Electabuzz as well as the Pokémon in the cage. Monferno, now back in control, powers up a Flame Wheel and races towards the cage getting underneath and supporting it. As it supports the cage surrounded by the power of Blaze, Monferno suddenly starts to [[evolution|evolve]]! Everyone watches in amazement as the flames clear to reveal {{p|Infernape}} supporting the cage! Everyone is in awe at seeing Infernape, and it shares a smile with Electabuzz. Ash has Infernape throw the cage into the air, and then has it destroyed with Mach Punch. This proves to be no problem for the powerful Pokémon as it frees Pikachu, Piplup and Empoleon and when they start to fall, Infernape absorbs them into a Flame Wheel to allow them to land safely. Ash congratulates Infernape, and Pikachu and Piplup thank Infernape for saving them.

Paul then approaches and explains that Monferno was not only able to control Blaze but was able to transform it into a new kind of energy that allowed it to evolve. Infernape then releases Brock, Dawn and Barry from their capsules and Piplup and Empoleon reunite with their relieved Trainers. Barry and Empoleon thank Infernape for its help, while Dawn comments on how good it is that Infernape managed to reach its final stage of evolution before looking it up in her [[Pokédex]].

Paul starts to leave, however Ash thanks him for his help and tells his rival that both he and Infernape would like to have another battle against him one day. Paul tells Ash that [[Reggie]] would also like to see another Full Battle between the two... at the Sinnoh League. Ash and Infernape agree, the battle between the two will take place at the League. Paul then leaves, and Brock tells Ash that when the two do battle, he will be able to show Paul just how much both he and his Pokémon have improved, and Dawn concurs that this time Ash won’t lose. Ash vows to not let Paul defeat him again, but until then Ash still has his battle at Sunyshore Gym to look forward to and both Pikachu and Infernape promise to give it their all.

And so, now with a very powerful Infernape by his side Ash is feeling more ready than ever for his upcoming battles. And as the episode ends Ash, Paul and Barry look forward to their participation in the Sinnoh League, each determined to win and each more than ready to defeat their rivals.

'''Search for the Clubultimate!''' (Japanese: '''どんどん続くよドンナマイト！クリムガンVSキリキザン！！''' ''Steadily Progressing {{tt|Donamite|Clubsplosion}}! {{tt|Crimgan|Druddigon}} VS {{tt|Kirikizan|Bisharp}}!!'') is the 71st episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 728th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on March 22, 2012 and in the United States on July 21, 2012.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with the announcer, [[Freddy O'Martian]] announcing that the battle between {{an|Iris}} against [[Burgundy]] is going to begin very soon. {{an|Cilan}} says he is looking forward to seeing how much stronger Burgundy has gotten. {{Ash}}, {{AP|Scraggy}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} give Iris support. However, Burgundy says it'll be an easy win so Iris shouldn't get her hopes up. The referee announces that battle will now begin! Burgundy starts off by commanding {{p|Dewott}} to use {{m|Ice Beam}}. Ash is quite amazed. {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} dodges twice but then instead of dodging again it blocks it. Cilan says Dewott has gotten stronger and Iris may struggle. [[Georgia]] says that Iris must win so she can battle her. {{an|Bianca}} pokes Scraggy and says unlike {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}}, Scraggy has no muscles. She checks to see if Scraggy has muscles on its stomach, causing Scraggy to {{m|headbutt}} Bianca.

Continuing the battle, Dewott uses a {{m|Water Pulse}} which Excadrill dodges by using {{m|Dig}}. Burgundy tells Dewott to use Water Pulse in the dug up hole sending Excadrill flying! Dewott uses {{m|Razor Shell}}, but Excadrill counters with its {{m|Focus Blast}}. Trip then scans the pictures he took and says there's no point in watching anymore since he knows the battle style of the two. [[Montgomery]] says it's extremely boring and he doesn't have to worry about either Iris or Burgundy winning against him. Iris commands Excadrill to use {{m|Drill Run}} but Dewott blocks it. However both of its [[Scalchop|scalchops]] fall off. Iris commands Excadrill to use {{m|Metal Claw}}, which Burgundy just lets it use Metal Claw over and over again. Iris tells Burgundy that {{t|Water}} types may be resistant to the {{t|Steel}} type, but since Metal Claw was used repeatedly, it did a great deal of damage. However, this was all part of Burgundy's plan. Burgundy orders Dewott to use {{m|Revenge}}, which does lots of damage. Burgundy tells Dewott to finish the battle with a Razor Shell, which is countered by a Drill Run attack. Burgundy orders another Ice Beam which is countered again by a Focus Blast attack. Excadrill then defeats Dewott with a Dig-Drill Run combination, advancing her to the second round.

Everyone breaks for lunch at the [[Pokémon Center]]. Burgundy says next time, she'll get revenge on Iris and Cilan. However, Georgia says she'll be the one to defeat Iris, not Burgundy. Ash says hello to Trip and asks if Bianca is his first opponent. Trip rudely replies by saying Ash should worry about his own Pokémon and says Scraggy may have learned Focus Blast, but it hasn't mastered it yet. Later, Ash, tries to perfect Scraggy's Focus Blast. However, Ash and Scraggy have trouble perfecting it. However, Stephan says he and Sawk will help Scraggy. He says it would be good training for the 2nd round as well. However, Bianca comes and admires Stephan and his Sawk. Iris and Cilan come to tell Ash the [[Clubsplosion]] is about to resume. Sawk punches one of the punching bags which is swung back and forth. Stephan then heads to the Clubsplosion with Sawk. Montgomery then laughs at Sawk after they head out. {{p|Throh}} stops the moving punching bag and throws it, breaking the punching bag to bits!

The scene changes with [[Betty]] ordering her {{p|Simipour}} to use {{m|Low Sweep}} on [[Getty]]'s {{p|Simisear}} knocking it out. The next match begins with [[Gail]] against Georgia. Georgia sends out {{p|Bisharp}} and Gail sends out her {{p|Druddigon}}. Georgia says this is a chance to show her Dragon Buster skills. Druddigon begins with {{m|Dragon Claw}} followed up by a {{m|Dragon Tail}}. But, Bisharp blocks the first attack and dodges the second. Georgia orders a {{m|Metal Sound}} then finishes Druddigon with an {{m|Iron Head}}.

The battle between Montgomery and [[Delbert]] begins. Ash scans {{p|Mienshao}} on his Pokédex. Delbert orders Mienshao to use {{m|Pound}}, which Throh swiftly dodges. Delbert tells Mienshao to use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} which Throh counters with {{m|Superpower}}, followed up by {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Throh finally finishes Mienshao with {{m|Circle Throw}}.

The final match of the first round begins, with Trip against Bianca. Trip sends out {{TP|Trip|Conkeldurr}} against Bianca's newly evolved {{TP|Bianca|Emboar}}. However, where is Bianca? Bianca was running to the battleground and explained that she was wanting to touch Mienshao's muscles. Bianca orders an {{m|Arm Thrust}} attack, which is blocked by Conkeldurr's concrete pillars. Emboar uses {{m|Hammer Arm}} which is also blocked. Bianca tells Emboar to use {{m|Flamethrower}} which is once again blocked. Trip tells Conkeldurr to use {{m|Bulk Up}}. Then Conkeldurr uses {{m|Strength}} doing lots of damage. Then Trip orders {{m|Rock Tomb}}, successfully trapping Emboar. Bianca commands Emboar to use Arm Thrust to break out, but it's no use. Finally, Trip tells Conkeldurr to finish the battle with {{m|Stone Edge}}.

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a ten-year-old [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. Her goal is to become a great [[Pokémon Coordinator]] like her [[mom#In the anime|mother]], [[Johanna]]. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] in the [[DP001|first ''Diamond & Pearl'' series episode]].

==History==
[[File:DP001.png|thumb|left|200px|Dawn's debut appearance]]
Dawn began her journey with her Piplup after bonding with it. Unlike {{an|May}}, she knew from the beginning that she wanted to be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. After meeting Ash and Brock, she decided to journey with them, as their experience would likely be helpful to her. Like Ash, she is lucky enough to have seen a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the start of her journey, the projected soul of {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

She had a [[bicycle]], but like {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed it with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until more than 30 episodes after it happened. She also had planned to take a large suitcase full of dresses with her, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality. She had a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, and her Contest cry is "Spotlight!" (English) or "Charm up!" (Japanese). Johanna gave Dawn the first [[Ribbon]] she earned as a Coordinator for good luck.

Dawn lost her first {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'' to her new [[rival]], Zoey who became one of her close friends after the contest and who later helps Dawn through many tough times. After her loss, her mother told her not to rely on her but on her friends. Eventually, in her [[DP027|second official Contest]], Dawn narrowly beat her childhood rival {{si|Kenny}} to gain her first [[Ribbon]].

[[File:DP012.png|thumb|200px|Dawn and Zoey]]
She later trains with Zoey in coming up with different Contest moves regularly as evidenced by ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. However she was not able to perfect {{AP|Buizel}}'s [[Ash's Buizel#Moves improvised|Ice Aqua Jet]] despite coming up with the idea. Ash later accomplishes this in the [[Wallace Cup]].

Despite her confidence and Contest training, in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', when she competed in the [[Hearthome City]] Contest, she lost in the Appeal Round, making her the first of the main characters to lose a Contest by losing in the appeal round. In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she lost the Appeal Round for the second time in a row. This marked a notable change in Dawn's character. After the second blow to her self-esteem, she didn't know what to do and was still very upset throughout ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. After this, she became more focused and regained her confidence after {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. Dawn began to practice in earnest and eventually was able to break her losing streak in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' and was able to win the [[Wallace Cup]] after narrowly defeating {{an|May}} in the final round. Dawn has since maintained her new found focus and humility.

[[File:DP067.png|thumb|left|200px|Dawn's Gym battle]]
After learning of the next Contest in [[Celestic Town]], she became very dedicated in her training, and actually overworked her Pokémon in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. Due to her hard work, she managed to win the Contest in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''. One of Dawn's combinations in that Contest gave {{Ash}} the inspiration for one of his notable tactic which he uses later on, the [[Counter Shield]]. In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} began to disobey her after [[Evolution|evolving]]. Despite this, she was still eager to train it well.

This was evidenced by how much she cared for Mamoswine in ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'' when both of them got lost and Mamsowine was injured. Using the medical knowledge she got from {{an|Brock}} in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', she was able to heal Mamoswine making it obey her. However it still rebels and disobeys Dawn in the finals of the {{town|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success! ]]'' due to its short temper making her lose the Contest. However she remains calm and remains optimistic.

Her encounter with {{an|Mesprit}} and Ash and Brock's encounters with {{an|Azelf}} and {{an|Uxie}} respectively was revealed to be fate as [[Team Galactic]] intended to capture the [[lake guardians]] to awaken {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in the [[Spear Pillar]]. The lake guardians communicate telepathically with Ash, Dawn and Brock and teleport them to the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. Eventually with the help of [[Cynthia]], they foil Team Galactic's plans and free the lake guardians.

With the help of [[Candice]] and [[Zoey]], after many failed attempts, she comes up with a new tactic, the Flame Ice. She uses this tactic later on in the [[Daybreak Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}.

[[File:Young Dawn.png|thumb|200px|Young Dawn]]
While she is the only female main character not to have a sibling, she has two childhood friends that appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]], both of whom call her '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari'').
Dawn has prevented them from telling Ash and Brock about the reason why she has this nickname, but in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', it was revealed that the reason for the name was due to her hair glittering (ピカピカ ''pikapika'') after being shocked by the class pets in her kindergarten, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, making it appear that she had '''D'''iamond '''D'''andruff. Due to the trauma from being teased by her entire class with the nickname, she has a certain fear of Plusle and Minun.

[[Ursula]] uses this against Dawn by using Plusle and Minun and deliberately attempting to shock her hair. Even though Dawn temporarily succumbed to her trauma, with Mamoswine's and Cyndaquil's encouragement, she was able to get over her trauma and defeat Ursula and winning her final fifth Ribbon in the process as well allowing her to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

She later trains in ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' where she comes up with a new tactic, the Ice Chandelier for the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. This time, however, she is able to perfect the move by herself with some inspiration. After obtaining {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}, she trains with it to find a way around Togekiss's need to move gracefully and is able to do so successfully.

[[File:Poffin.png|thumb|left|200px|Dawn's poffins]]
Dawn entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', using her Buneary and Cyndaquil in the Appeals Round. She progressed through the round and battled [[Ursula]] first in [[DP175|the next episode]]. With Mamoswine and Pachirisu and her new combination, the Ice Chandelier, she was able to defeat Ursula's {{p|Gabite}} and {{p|Flareon}}. [[DP176|The following episode]], she defeated [[Jessie|Jessilina]] and progressed to the [[DP177|finals]] to fight [[Zoey]].

After a very close fight between her Piplup and Togekiss and [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}}, however, she lost. After the finals, she returns her mother's Ribbon saying that she no longer is in her mother's shadow and only needs her Pokémon's care and support thus proving her growth as a Trainer.

After the competition, Zoey told Dawn that [[Candice]] was throwing a victory party for her in [[Snowpoint City]] and that Dawn was also welcome; however, Dawn declined the invitation, stating that she still wants to support Ash in his upcoming battle at [[Sunyshore Gym]] and in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. She then thanked all the Pokémon that had traveled with her through Sinnoh for their hard work and pledged to not give up her dream of being a Top Coordinator.

[[File:Dawn Cheer.png|thumb|200px|Dawn in her Cheerleader outfit]]
After staying for Ash's gym battle and the Sinnoh league, she contemplates whether or not to go with Ash and Brock back to [[Kanto]]. However after receiving an invitation by [[Paris]] for her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, she decides to stay in [[Sinnoh]]. She and Ash later share a final high-five as they did throughout the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] before Ash and Brock leave for Kanto.

After this, Dawn decided to spend some time at home before considering her next move and spent that time developing new Contest combinations. She also spent a lot of time working with Cyndaquil, and eventually decided to head for [[Hoenn]] next knowing that it was the region that Contests originated from and she was eager to hit the Contest trail again. However she was having trouble deciding which Pokémon to take with her and which to leave with [[Professor Rowan]]. Although she knew she would take Piplup, she couldn't decide on the others as she knew there was still a lot she could do with them. Eventually, after visiting Professor Rowan and having another incident with some {{p|Ariados}} (which caused Cyndaquil to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Quilava), Dawn decided to take all her Pokémon to [[Hoenn]] with her. Dawn soon left on her new adventure with her dream of becoming a Top Coordinator burning as bright as ever.

In [[BW085]], it was revealed that Dawn had traveled to the [[Unova]] and was staying in [[Cynthia]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]] while the champion was visiting [[Virbank City]]. She would return with Ash who Dawn got to reunite with and was able to meet his new friends, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}. Before coming to [[Undella Town]], Dawn had visited [[Nimbasa City]] where she watched a [[Pokémon Musical]] and one of [[Elesa]]'s fashion shows. She also revealed that she would enter the World Championship Junior Cup.

==Character==
[[File:Ash and Dawn Arguing.png|thumb|right|250px|Dawn's temper]]
Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes, although she has learned that this is not always enough. In the Japanese version, her catchphrase is, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'It'll be alright!'}}" Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!" In stark contrast to {{an|May}}'s inexperience and self-doubt at the start of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Dawn was overly confident and assured in her own strength in the beginning.

Over the course of her journey in Sinnoh, Dawn was able to come up with various combinations to show up her Pokémon's looks and strength. This began with something as simple as making her Piplup's beak grow longer, when using {{m|Peck}}, a combination she used even until the end of the Grand Festival. She later followed with simple spinning, a technique her Piplup and Buneary practiced for a while in [[Oreburgh City]]. The way it was used was adapted by Ash in his first Gym battle in Sinnoh.

Later on, Dawn began with more complex combinations, such as Flame Ice and Ice Chandelier, moves that were both powerful and beautiful. After a lot of practice, Dawn's Pokémon were able to master these combinations in battle. Coincidentally, both of these were used to defeat [[Ursula]].

[[File:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn in her winter clothes]]
Dawn is much more different than any of Ash's {{ashfr|other friends}}. Dawn has more concern about her appearance, as she will not show herself to Ash or Brock until she feels that her appearance is perfect. That may be a reason why she decides to sleep inside a tent while the others sleep outside. However, she has recently been seen sleeping outside with the others, such as in ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]''. Every time she's going to be on camera, she needs to take a moment to brush her hair before going on, such as in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''.

In ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', Dawn revealed that she was the one to design {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s vest (but also admitted that her mother was the one to sew it). In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', she demonstrated her talent for designing again, sketching many different dresses for the [[Hearthome Collection]], though she rejected all of them.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Dawn Party SS024.png‎|thumb|250px|Dawn's current party]]
Since obtaining her first [[Pokémon]], the Pokémon that Dawn acquire tend to be cute and small like her starter, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

Because of her lack of experience, she may have some rough spots on how to deal with her Pokémon properly, as seen when she bickers with Piplup sometimes. This lack of experience also reflects with her Pachirisu and Mamoswine. Pachirisu occasionally hits unwanted targets with its {{m|Discharge}} while Mamoswine may easily be angered and disobey Dawn in the process. Despite all these issues she faces some times, Dawn still deeply cares for all her Pokémon, especially her starter, Piplup.

As a Coordinator who is willing to win the Grand Festival, Dawn has trained her Pokémon in the art of Appeals, as well as battles. She is able to fully utilize her Pokémon capabilities. A commonly-seen example would be her Buneary's capability to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, which was used in various ways in the Contests Dawn participated in. She was also able to use her Togekiss in the finals of the Grand Festival to help her almost defeat Zoey, despite the lack of experience with it when compared to her other Pokémon, most especially Piplup, who was also used in the finals.

This listing is of Dawn's [[Pokémon]] as of the most recent Japanese episode:

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn PLL.png|200px|thumb|right|Dawn in [[Pokémon Learning League]]]]
* On the [[Pokémon Learning League]] website, [[List of clothing in the anime|her clothing]] has been altered so that her white undershirt has sleeves and she is wearing black stockings or tights.
* Dawn's Japanese name is Hikari, and [[Zoey|her rival's]] is Nozomi. The ''Hikari'' and the ''Nozomi'' are two Shinkansen "bullet train" lines. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari, possibly symbolizing that Zoey is farther along in her coordinating skills than Dawn. It should also be noted that they go in opposite directions.
* All of Dawn's Normal-type Pokémon are female.

'''Basculin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バスラオ''' ''Bassrao'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it does have two [[Form differences#Basculin|different appearances]]: '''Red-Striped''', one has a red stripe and irises, with a round eye and spiky fins; '''Blue-Striped''', the other has a blue stripe and irises, with a slit eye and smooth fins.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Basculin has the look of a typical fish, with its bottom part being green and its top part being black, the two parts being separated by a bright red or blue stripe, the rarity of each depending on which game it is encountered in. Red-Striped Basculin has a round eye and spiky fins, while Blue-Striped Basculin has a thin eye and smooth fins. They both have a spiky dorsal fin and a big jaw.

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

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Basculin are violent in nature, and they have a particular dislike for differently colored Basculin. They often form schools of the same color. Red and blue Basculin tend to fight each other immediately upon meeting. Occasionally, opposite colors of these Pokémon will get mixed into the other's school.

===Habitat===
Basculin live primarily in fresh water throughout the [[Unova]] region.

===Diet===

===Major appearances===

===Minor appearances===
A few other Basculin appeared during ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]''. A Red-Striped and a Blue-Striped one were seen being reeled in by two unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. {{an|Iris}} managed to fish another Blue-Striped one with her bare hands but was penalized for it.

A photo of multiple Basculin appeared in ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]''.

Multiple Basculin made an appearace in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]''.

==Trivia==
* While many Pokémon are able to have up to three different Abilities legitimately, with two primary Abilities and a Hidden Ability, Blue-Striped Basculin is the only Pokémon capable of legitimately having four different abilities, with {{a|Rock Head}} being the Ability of an NPC-traded Blue-Striped Basculin from [[Driftveil City]] in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}.
* Basculin shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Zweilous}}. They are both known as Hostile Pokémon.

===Origin===
Basculin were most likely inspired by {{wp|Siamese fighting fish|betta fish}}. Both sexes of betta display horizontal bars of color either when frightened or setting up a pecking order. They are very violent and can even fight to the death. Its appearance may have been based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}} or {{wp|piranha}}, one of which has historically been viewed as violent.

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Basculin was created late in development when they realized there were few new 'standard' fish-like Pokémon in Unova, the only others being {{p|Alomomola}}, {{p|Stunfisk}}, {{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Jellicent}}. It was given two forms to make up for the small amount of fish in the region, and based on a bass since there are wild bass in New York state.

====Name origin====
Basculin is a combination of ''bass'' and ''masculine''.

Bassrao may be a combination of ''bass'' and 丈夫 ''masurao'' (warrior, referring to its {{a|Reckless|bold, violent nature}}) or バカラオ ''bakarao'' ({{wp|bacalhau}}).

==In other languages==

'''Basculin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バスラオ''' ''Bassrao'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it does have two [[Form differences#Basculin|different appearances]]: '''Red-Striped''', one has a red stripe and irises, with a round eye and spiky fins; '''Blue-Striped''', the other has a blue stripe and irises, with a slit eye and smooth fins.

==Biology==

Basculin has the look of a typical fish, with its bottom part being green and its top part being black, the two parts being separated by a bright red or blue stripe, the rarity of each depending on which game it is encountered in.

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

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Basculin are violent in nature, and they have a particular dislike for differently colored Basculin. They often form schools of the same color. Red and blue Basculin tend to fight each other immediately upon meeting. Occasionally, opposite colors of these Pokémon will get mixed into the other's school.

===Habitat===
Basculin live primarily in fresh water throughout the [[Unova]] region.

==Trivia==
* While many Pokémon are able to have up to three different Abilities legitimately, with two primary Abilities and a Hidden Ability, Blue-Striped Basculin is the only Pokémon capable of legitimately having four different abilities, with {{a|Rock Head}} being the Ability of an NPC-traded Blue-Striped Basculin from [[Driftveil City]] in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}.
* Basculin shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Zweilous}}. They are both known as Hostile Pokémon.

===Origin===
Basculin were most likely inspired by {{wp|Siamese fighting fish|betta fish}}. Both sexes of betta display horizontal bars of color either when frightened or setting up a pecking order. They are very violent and can even fight to the death. Its appearance may have been based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}} or {{wp|piranha}}, one of which has historically been viewed as violent.

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Basculin was created late in development when they realized there were few new 'standard' fish-like Pokémon in Unova, the only others being {{p|Alomomola}}, {{p|Stunfisk}}, {{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Jellicent}}. It was given two forms to make up for the small amount of fish in the region, and based on a bass since there are wild bass in New York state.

====Name origin====
Basculin is a combination of ''bass'' and ''masculine''.

Bassrao may be a combination of ''bass'' and 丈夫 ''masurao'' (warrior, referring to its {{a|Reckless|bold, violent nature}}) or バカラオ ''bakarao'' ({{wp|bacalhau}}).
