As a 90's child, Pokémon has been in my life for as long as I remember. By the turn of the millennium, I had a shoebox of minifigures, 8 or so palm-sized figures, some VHS tapes, the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master|soundtrack CD]], a complete sticker album (plus a certain bootleg one that was still memorable in its own way), [[Reversible Poké Ball plush|the Pikachu plush that turned into a Poké Ball when you turned it inside out]], a voice-recording Pikachu plush, and a Pikachu costume. I even ate the [[Pokémon Toasted Oat Cereal with Marshmallow Bits|Pokémon cereal]] a couple times. And the story is only starting.

==Showtime! (the animated series)==
Though I liked to watch the show on Cartoon Network (it was my first anime, in fact), I didn't really keep up with the series during its original run; I only watched a few stray episodes. The closest I got to following a storyline was thanks to a few VHS tapes I had, cause I rewatched those A LOT. Funny thing, though: I only had volumes 1, 3, and 4. ''Not'' 2. So I had [[EP003|Ash catching Caterpie, which evolved into Metapod]], then on the next tape it was already a Butterfree. I missed [[EP005|the one in which Ash met Brock]], too. I also had the VHSs of the first two movies.

[[File:EP045.png|thumb|110px|left|I was always hoping {{an|Jigglypuff}} would show up.]]
Looking back at the episode list, I might have actually caught more episodes than I remember, because I have quite a lot of specific memories. For example, I remember asking my parents what "pathetic" meant due to Misty's closing line to Brock in ''[[The Case of the K-9 Caper!]]'', and pretending that my Car City Carpet was [[EP022|Sabrina's toy box]]. I suppose that not watching every episode in order just made the experience feel a lot looser.

===Something's different===
I remember watching things slowly change as time went on. [[Misty's Togepi|Togepi]] and [[Tracey's Marill|Marill]] had joined the gang, they had [[Pokémon Johto|that new opening]], and there were new faces coming every day. One day, my grandma got me a pack with 6 minifigures ({{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Ampharos}}... maybe {{p|Mareep}}, I'm not sure anymore) and I was intrigued, because I'd never seen any of them. And speaking of grandma, I'll always remember when I was watching ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'' with her, and when {{p|Elekid}} showed up, I said ''"I don't know who that is"'', and she replied ''"It must be from another planet"''.

[[File:OPE03.png|thumb|120px|left|You guys are cute, but what happened to the old gang?]]
Anyway, at one point in 2001, Ash had been with {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}} for a while. But I swear: the moment that finally made things click was when I was watching a TV commercial for a new Pokémon sticker album, and there was this scene with a couple of girls saying ''"Look! There's Chikorita!"'' And that little pointing out was what made me realize: ''"Wait, Chikorita isn't one of the 150. What happened to Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle? What is going on?"''

So yeah, realizing that the original series had been replaced by this new series was quite saddening to me, because I felt that I had missed out on the full story. I would keep casually watching random episodes every now and then, like [[EP118|Casey singing the Electabuzz song]], [[EP124|the rich lady with a Snubbull]], [[EP143|Poké Balls growing from trees]], [[EP158|that damn Miltank]], [[EP174|Mini-Dit]], and [[EP232|Brock trying to hug a ghost]]. (Also, ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'' and ''[[Song of Jigglypuff]]'' were a couple of banger songs.) But always with that bit of sadness about not watching the whole thing.

[[File:AG046_error.png|thumb|120px|left|Good to see Brock back, but those two put together don't come close to Misty.]]
And things only got worse with the Hoenn League, in 2006. It's funny, actually, because, while I felt more "bitter" with the show going on and on, ironically I ended up watching ''[[S08|Advanced Battle]]'' more consistently than any previous season. (The mid-afternoon time slot aligned better with my daily life at that age, I suppose.) I believe I missed very few episodes between ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'' and ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', which for me was an impressive streak. As I like to say, I watched it while turning up my nose, but I did watch it. (And I can't say that ending with a return to Pallet Town didn't feel satisfying.) I think that my favorite novelty of this era was that seeing [[Jessie]] find a new purpose in [[Pokémon Contest]]s as Jessebella (and later Jessilina) was an adorable evolution of her character. When the season was over and they actually ''did'' begin a ''[[S09|Battle Frontier]]'' season immediately afterwards, however, I had had enough: ''"Enough. Give me Gen 1 or give me death."''

In 2007, I finally got my wish and Cartoon Network started rerunning the first season. I did my best to watch it every night this time (though disgruntled for missing the Wednesday episodes due to reasons beyond my control). I did finally watch many episodes that I had never seen as a child, especially in the earlier part of the series, so that was quite fulfilling.

Other than that, I've also watched some of the movies and specials that were broadcast by Cartoon Network, even if only in parts. [[M03|The Entei movie]], mostly overheard [[The Legend of Thunder!|the one with Raikou]], [[Trouble in Big Town|one with the Pichu Posse fighting]], at least the ending bit of [[HS13|the one with Ritchie traveling through time]], overheard some pieces of [[M08|the one with the talking Lucario]], and watched some pieces of [[M10|the one with a guy that turns into a Lickilicky]].

==Game on (videogames)==
===Snap===
I don't know if many people can relate, but my first Pokémon game was actually ''[[Pokémon Snap]]''. People don't talk about that one enough, in my opinion. I've always thought it was cool that the game was not about battling and competing, just watching Pokémon in various environments and taking photos.

[[File:Snorlax_Jolly_Dance.png|thumb|left|160px|A picture of the Pokémon for Professor Oak, and a picture of those flowers for mom.]]
I couldn't even read yet, at the age I played it. It did teach me a few words in English, like "[[Beach (Snap)|beach]]" and "[[tunnel]]", though. I'm not sure how often I managed to clear [[Valley]], though, because I remember that I didn't know you had to ''align'' the Squirtle with Mankey, so I depended on a lucky shot. I say "how often" because, even if my cousin or other relatives helped me clear all levels, little me liked to choose the "New Game" option. Not only because I liked going for a fresh start; mostly because I liked the funny sound and exclamation points that warned you about deleting saved data. (Again, I couldn't read; I had no idea what that said. But it was all good for me.)

[[File:Confusion_status_Stad2.png|thumb|160px|left|Though I've never actually played ''Stadium'', I have a specific memory of seeing it at a neighbor's house in 2001, because I remember the "confusion" animation, with the question marks.]]
I remember that I always took some photos of the flowerbeds on the Beach, thinking ''"This one is for mom"'', even though I knew Professor Oak wouldn't take those. I remember the [[Pokémon Album|Album]] music being the most soothing thing in the world. I remember seeing a Gyarados picture that my cousin had taken, but misidentifying the waterfall as the waterfall in the beginning of the [[Cave (Snap)|Cave]], so I spent a lot of time throwing Pester Balls there to no avail. I also remember that an older relative knew that I loved Jigglypuff (for real, whenever I saw Jigglypuff in the Cave I would take photos until I ran out of film, on purpose), so he kept throwing Pester Balls at Jigglypuff just to piss me off.

By 2002, when I no longer had my cartridge, I would read the manual for old times' sake. Then I found out you could take your cartridge to ''Pokémon Snap Stations'' and print stickers of photos you took (in USA only, surely), and felt robbed.

===Gold===
[[File:Spr_b_2g_152.png|thumb|left|''"Vai, Theo!"'']]
Technically, this was my first contact with the core game series, thanks to my computer class at school in 2001 or so. Our teacher had us play it in class one day, and it was in Portuguese, surprisingly. All I remember is that I chose "Gold" as my character's name (I remember the NPC girl saying ''"Gold, volte aqui! Não vai pegar seu Pokémon com o Professor Elm?"'' Over and over, because I didn't know how to do it.); and I chose Chikorita as my starter. I didn't know what to name it, so my teacher suggested I should name it after my newly-born brother. That's about it for this entry, though, because you can only get so far in a single class period.

===FireRed===
My ''real'' introduction to the core game series happened in 2006. A friend at school showed me he had been playing ''Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire'' (I remember him showing he had just caught either Solrock or Lunatone, which was a nice bit of synchronicity, because I had just watched ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'' on Cartoon Network like that same week). I commented that I'd like to play too, "but a game with Pokémon from the first generation". So he suggested I should play ''FireRed''.

At his house, he taught me about emulators. He showed me how to download Emule, and then how to use Emule to download emulators and ROMs. A very valuable lesson indeed. He even taught me to download a program called ''Pokédex'' to help me with everything I needed to know about attacks and so (and completely in Portuguese). He also had the Brazilian edition of ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]] (Deluxe Collector's Edition)'', which I found wonderful. I learned basically everything about Generation 1 with it. In fact, I thought it was such a treasure that I asked to borrow it so I could type a copy on my computer. I think I gave up before I got to the Pikachu page, mostly because finding the right official artworks on Google was impossible back then, but also because of the daunting quantity of text. Thankfully, he decided to let me keep it later. A real treasure.

Anyway, back to the game. My first starter was Charmander. I think I went as far as Brock, but since I was still learning how to save and load games on VBA, I had to start again, and picked Bulbasaur this time.

In hindsight, I've concluded that maybe we shouldn't be so harsh on Ash for being such a poor trainer. Because I was exactly the same age as him, and this first run of mine was honestly ''horrible''. No idea of how to balance a team's levels; no regard for type advantage; capturing every species I found without even knowing about the PC boxes until later; skipping text so much I lost good attacks without even noticing (I remember becoming annoyed when my Ivysaur "lost" its iconic {{m|Razor Leaf}} to the stupid, do-nothing {{m|Sweet Scent}}. I also remember I thought that was {{m|Petal Dance}}, which I'd heard from May in the anime around that time, but I digress). In short, no strategy at all.

I did eventually get to Elite Four (though not without deciding to follow a walkthrough, after struggling to get {{m|Cut}}, and bruteforcing my way through [[Rock Tunnel]] without {{m|Flash}}). But as you'd expect, my team was far from ready for it. And trying to cheese it by using level-50 Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, and dozens of Revives didn't cut it ([[Lance]] was as far as I'd get). Of course, I wasn't patient enough to level up my team any further, so I ended up just giving up.

In January 2007, during a trip to USA, I bought myself a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], and a proper (used) FireRed cartridge. This time, I once again picked Charmander, because I wanted to do an "Ash" run (you know it, trying to play with the same Pokémon as Ash. And Charizard was his only evolved starter). Yes, I went for the rare Pikachu encounter in Viridian Forest. But knowing myself, Safari Zone was probably as far as I got, because catching even a single Tauros without the emulator's save states would be a nightmare.

===Yellow===
If you read above about my attempt on FireRed to mimic Ash's team, then you can guess why this one appealed to me. A game that follows the anime's story was a masterstroke by the creators, let's hand it to them. The simple fact that you could have Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle all without having to choose is enough to make this the perfect game. It's always been so unfair that Ash could have all starters, while ''we'' had to choose only one.

I'm pretty sure I played a Brazilian fan translation, because I recall details such as {{m|Slam}} being adapted as ''"Pou!"'', and {{OBP|Copycat|character}} being called [[Duplica]]. (I guess this means I played it during the 2007 rerun of the anime's first season, cause I also recall I had recently watched Duplica's episode.) I also remember that the ''Mario & Wario'' reference in her room (''"A game with Mario wearing a bucket on his head"'') was changed into "It's a Mario game. He's smashing a Goomba." It may be generic, but honestly it was more effective at making me guffaw.

I'm not sure how far I got in this one. I didn't beat the Elite Four, but this game earned a place in my heart.

===Honorable mentions===
[[File:Topsy-Turvy_Hitmontop_Palettes.png|thumb|160px|left|I remember seeing my brothers play ''[[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|Topsy-Turvy]]'' in an emulated version of ''{{g|Stadium 2}}''.]]
I know at some point I tried to play ''{{g|Red}}''. If nothing else, just so I could try to do the [[Mew glitch]] (which was mentioned as not working in the walkthrough for FireRed that I was using). It might be a bit of "genwunner hypocrisy", but trying Red ''after'' FireRed gave me quite a bit of appreciation for the technical improvements of Gen III, at least. I also tried ''{{g|Green}}'' once, but it was in Japanese, you see.

After I learned how to use emulators, my best friend shared a huge folder of GBA ROMs with me. It had every Pokémon game up to Gen III. He also suggested that I tried ''{{g|Ruby}}'' (it might be a favorite of his. I know he used "{{p|Exploud}}" as part of his gamertag at one point). I did try it, I think even twice, but I never got too far in this one. I don't even remember which starter I chose (I believe {{p|Treecko}}, inspired by the cool demeanor of [[Ash's Grovyle]], but {{p|Torchic}} also wouldn't be unlikely). I just remember catching a {{p|Wurmple}} that evolved into {{p|Cascoon}} despite me wanting a {{p|Beautifly}}, and trying to plant my first Berry. (I wanted to make some [[Pokéblock]]s at least, like I'd seen May do in the anime, but alas.)

I also remember seeing my brothers play a bit of ''{{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}'', with that folder. It was cute to see Pokémon interecting with the table, {{p|Gulpin}}s piling up, and such.

In June 2013, a nice classmate taught me I could emulate on my smartphone (with ''My Boy''), and convinced me to try ''{{g|Emerald}}''. My starter was a {{p|Torchic}} named Phoenix. While I played at least a little longer than my previous attempt with ''Ruby'', I didn't get too far, either. I'm not sure how far I got, but I do remember I got the bike, and caught a {{p|Taillow}} (named ''Passarinha''), a {{p|Trapinch}}, and a {{p|Nincada}} that proceeded to evolve into {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}} (I nicknamed one of those "Ninja Joe", for whatever reason. Perhaps subconscious influence by Lego's ''Ninjago''). What ultimately killed my run, though, was the fact that my cellphone (a ''{{wp|Samsung Galaxy Mini}}'') suddenly just bricked, later that year.

===New Snap===
[[File:Monitor_Todd_Frame_NPS.png|thumb|left|130px|Look at my childhood pal, all grown up.]]
This one has a funny story to it. Since the original ''Snap'' was so special to me, I've long wished for a sequel or something. Then in May 2020, I saw a tweet talking about "fans of dead franchises", and replied ''"I believe in Pokémon Snap 2"''. Then almost one month later, ''[[New Pokémon Snap]]'' was announced. My faith was rewarded.

It took me a while to actually play it, because new games tend to be pricey. For a while I hoped to find a friend who'd own it and let me play, but I eventually installed it in 2024. I have yet to finish it, but it's a beautiful game. I do think that only being able to pick one photo among various "star categories" can be frustrating, though.

===LeafGreen===
In 2023, I decided to try another run, with proper strategy this time. I was going to go for FireRed again, but I remembered {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Vulpix}} were LeafGreen exclusives, so I decided to try LeafGreen this time. I even found a VBA emulator with a link cable function, so I could trade with myself. I would, for the first time, have access to trade evolutions. I could even have a team with all three starters. Ah, but that would take the fun away of strategizing. So let's just try to complete the dex, while still forming a team of its own merit.

Of course, the game itself is easy to play. What kept me for the most part, was me being fussy about how to manage trades among 3 different runs, so that at least the main 2 had a chance to complete the dex while avoiding repeated catches as much as possible. I even went into a years-long hiatus.

But, on January 15th, 2026, a whopping 20 years after I discovered the game, I finally became the Indigo League Champion. No using save states during the league battles, either, for honor.

In case you're wondering, yes, I did intentionally take an unevolved Vulpix and Staryu to my league battle. Because they're some of those Pokémon that I always wanted to have, so I wanted them to be there with me when we won together.

My first time beating FireRed was in the early hours of February 6th. Funnily, "Ash" here wasn't even my main FireRed run; just the tertiary save so I could trade Pokémon trios (like starters and Eeveelutions) among the main saves. My main FireRed save was "Casey", and I planned to win with {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Raichu}}. But I was so focused on (and frankly tired of) managing trades and completing the dex before winning the league that I guess I let Ash beat him to the punch. Either that or I was just curious to see if Ash could make it.

==Trivia==
*The same friend who taught me to emulate and gave me the Official Handbook also showed me a website talking about the (then only 4) [[banned episodes]].
*Around that time (2006), I also recall seeing a website with an early screenshot of {{p|Glaceon}}, though it was captioned as "Frosteon".
*In my 2007 trip to USA, I bought [[Jakks Pacific]]'s ''Pokémon Talking Deluxe Pokédex'' (Gen III).
*One day in like 2007 or so, mom found some old floppy disks at our house, labeled Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. She claimed I used to play those when I was little. While I do remember having a floppy disk filled with Pokémon spritework that I would sometimes print out, I have no memory of playing those at all. (Maybe they were my cousin's?) I couldn't even check them anyway, since by that time, computers with floppy disk drives were gone off the face of Earth.
*Around 2012 or so, my brother bought me a bootleg DVD containing the first 3 episodes of the anime. A sweet gift, for real.
*I grew up with a fascination for character names. From learning little-known names (like the Queen from ''Snow White'' being Queen Grimhilde), to full names (like Barbie's full name being Barbara Millicent Roberts), to their origin (like Jessie and James being named after {{wp|Jesse James}}). I remember a certain transformative moment in 2013, after reading online about [[Giovanni]] containing the Greek prefix ''"geo"'' meaning "earth"; I told my classmate about it (the one who suggested I played Emerald), and he let me know that "every Gym Leader is like that", citing [[Wattson]] and [[Norman]].
**In that vein, I remember when it crossed my mind in 2013 that [[Sabrina]] might be named after ''{{wp|Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996 TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch}}''. Then in 2019 I read on a forum someone pointing out that Sabrina is a near-anagram of "brain", and that blew my mind. [[Janine]] being "ninja" with the syllables inverted is also one of my favorites.
*I wanted to play {{g|Go}} when it came out in 2016, but my cellphone at the time (a ''{{wp|Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2}}'') was incompatible. At least I tried it for a moment with my cousin's phone.

'''Grampa Canyon''' (Japanese: '''グランパキャニオン''' ''Grampa Canyon'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in [[Kanto]]. It is found right outside of [[Neon Town]] and is located between the {{safari|Kanto}} and [[Cinnabar Island]].

When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were traveling through the canyon in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', they learned that some ancient Pokémon [[Fossil]]s were found recently. Along with {{Gary}}, the kids began digging in the canyon to look for the Fossils. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} had planned to blow up the entire canyon to collect the Fossils with dynamite, which would have placed several innocent bystanders in mortal danger.

Thanks to Team Rocket, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} ended up in a hidden cavern found in the canyon. There, they found that five extinct Pokémon were living alive and well. They weren't happy about being disturbed, and eventually an {{p|Aerodactyl}} lifted Ash out of the cave. He was saved by his {{p|Charmeleon}} [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{AP|Charizard}} and [[Pokémon battle|battling]] it. As a result of the entire incident, paleontological work for finding any Pokémon Fossils was shut down indefinitely.

In addition to the ancient Pokémon, Ash also found an {{pkmn|Egg}} in the canyon. It would eventually hatch into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} that would imprint {{an|Misty}} as its owner.

*If talked to again:
:''"Starting tomorrow, please visit and tell me stories about your travels."''

*Depending on the day of the week:

::''"[[Easy chat system|<word entered>]] splashed with water... ... That sounds refreshing! It's made me feel awake!"''
:*Tuesday:
::''"Today is Tuesday! The first date I went on with my husband was on Tuesday, too. I remember my heart thumping like I was scared, and I guess I was. Do you know any story that would scare me like that? Like something that jumps out from hiding?"''
::''"One mean <word entered> that bursts out from a closet? ... Yikes! That would be scary!"''
:*Wednesday:
::''"Sigh... I gained a little weight... This dress that my husband bought for me is too tight now... This makes me feel sad... Misery does love company. Something that would make me cry?"''

:*Friday:
::''"Today is Friday! My meager cooking repertoire is about to run out! Do you know a story that would help me get my thoughts in order? Like a story about numbers adding up perfectly?"''
::''"You went <word entered> shopping and paid {{pdollar}}777 including tax? That is a nice number to ring up. It just has a good look to it. It's sure helped me clear my head!"''

::''"<word entered> snuggle pillow... ... It... It surprisingly may give me a good night's sleep! I wonder if I can buy one somewhere."''
:*Sunday:
::''"Oh, hello! You're on your adventure even though it's Sunday! When I was younger, I remember that every day was like an adventure. It was always fun. I loved the people around me... I was happy.

Victor (EP067)

Loon Wolf: Adding Names section

[[File:Victor EP067.png|thumb|250px|Victor]]
'''Victor''' (Japanese: '''ビンセント''' ''Vincent'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.

Victor lived on {{an|Seafoam Island}} with his {{p|Pikachu}}, nicknamed [[Puka]]. Puka would always sit on the edge of a cliff, trying to detect Humungadunga (Japanese: '''ビッグ・チューズデー''' ''Big Tuesday''), a huge wave that legendary surfer [[Jan]] surfed on many years before. Jan had once told Victor that he could surf the wave if he really tried and gifted him his own surfboard.

Victor trained for years with Puka until he finally felt he could conquer Humungadunga. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} happened to be on Seafoam Island when Victor was about to surf Humungadunga. The wave hit the island, and Victor successfully rode it with Puka by his side. After achieving his goal, he kept the tradition alive and reiterated Jan's own words to some young surfers on the beach.

'''Puka''' (Japanese: '''マイケル''' ''Michael'') is a {{m|surf}}ing {{p|Pikachu}} that appeared in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.

==History==
[[File:Young Puka.png|thumb|left|220px|Puka in his youth]]
[[File:Victor and Puka.png|thumb|left|220px|Puka and Victor]]
Puka is at least twenty years old, having been first found by surfing enthusiast {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} shortly after he failed to conquer a large wave, "Humungadunga" (Japanese: '''ビッグ・チューズデー''' ''Big Tuesday''). Victor was trying to emulate a feat achieved by his surfing hero [[Jan]] two decades ago. It met up with [[Ash's Pikachu]] when he visited {{an|Seafoam Island}} with {{Ash|his Trainer}}. {{TRT}} spotted the two of them together and used their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]] to snatch them.

Puka was rescued by Victor after Team Rocket's submarine was attacked by a group of angry {{p|Gyarados}}. At that moment, Humungadunga made its scheduled appearance, twenty years after Victor first fell to it. {{Ash}} and his friends watched from the beach as Victor, with Puka on his surfboard, successfully rode the big wave and planted a flag atop the rock, right next to where Jan first placed his flag forty years earlier. Puka and Victor returned to shore to be greeted by Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}, as well as by young children looking up to Victor in awe. In a similar fashion to what his hero did after riding the big wave, Victor encouraged two young surfers and gifted them Jan's surfboard.

==Personality and characteristics==
Puka has gotten along with Victor very well ever since the time they first met. Puka looks noticeably {{pkmn|aging|older}} and larger than [[Ash's Pikachu]], with wrinkles beneath his eyes. His ears have frayed bits of fur at the tips while most Pikachu ears are straight and pointy. His eyes are blue, while Ash's Pikachu's eyes, as well as most Pikachu eyes, are dark brown and have slight but noticeable age lines, indicative of Puka being an older Pikachu. Puka can sense big waves coming to the {{an|Seafoam Island}} beach where he lives, causing his eyes to glow. Incidentally, he does not use any {{type|Electric}} attacks throughout the entire episode, even when captured by {{TRT}}; it is Ash's Pikachu that attacks. Whether Puka can in fact use any Electric attacks is up for debate, since his cheeks do not spark during the episode either.
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
* Puka's English name comes from {{wp|Puka shell}}s, which are pieces of a shell belonging to a snail. They are used to make jewelry, and are very popular in Hawaii. "Puka" is also somewhat similar to "Pika", as in "Pikachu".
* Puka's Japanese name, along with Victor's Japanese name (Vincent) and Jan's name, are a [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to Hollywood actor {{wp|Jan-Michael Vincent}}, the lead actor of the movie {{wp|Big Wednesday}}, from which their episode takes inspiration.
* Puka might be based on the [[Pikachu's Beach|minigame of the Surfing Pikachu]], located in {{game|Yellow}} in {{rt|19|Kanto}}, near [[Seafoam Islands]].
* Puka's blue eyes, surfing motif, and psychic powers make him similar to the {{type|Psychic}} {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, predating the former's debut by 18 years.

Melanie

Loon Wolf: Adding Names section

[[File:Melanie.png|right|thumb|250px|Melanie in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'']]
'''Melanie''' (Japanese: '''ミドリ''' ''Midori'') is a girl who lives in a [[Hidden Village]] located in the mountains somewhere between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]].

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Bulbasaur and Melanie.png|thumb|left|220px|Bulbasaur and Melanie]]
Melanie was the [[character of the day]] in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} were on their way to [[Vermilion City]] when Misty saw an {{p|Oddish}}. Misty tried to catch it when a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} stopped her with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. Ash tried to catch the Bulbasaur, but the two {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon escaped.

Ash and {{ashfr}} tried to keep on traveling, but got caught in a series of traps, including a collapsing bridge, a pit, and a net. Brock fell into the river, but was saved by a beautiful girl named Melanie. She cared for Pokémon who have been abandoned in the forest. Melanie set the traps to try to deter people from catching the Pokémon she cared for.

Melanie allowed Ash and his friends to visit her Hidden Village of Pokémon if they promised not to catch any. Melanie explained that Bulbasaur had sworn to protect the other sick Pokémon. Bulbasaur continued to distrust Ash and Misty. {{TRT}} attacked the village and tried to steal all the Pokémon, but Bulbasaur and Ash were able to defeat them.

Melanie insisted that Ash take Bulbasaur with him, since Bulbasaur wasn't able to grow and be strong at all in the forest. Melanie thought that the Pokémon were getting too lazy with Bulbasaur to take care of them and they needed to be reintroduced into the wild. According to her, Bulbasaur would agree if Ash battled him; after winning that battle, Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} Bulbasaur, and everyone parted ways.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Melanie Goddess EToP.png|thumb|150px|Melanie as the Pokémon view her]]
Melanie makes an appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. [[A.J.]] and [[Samurai]] wanted to take {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} to find her Hidden Village. According to rumor, it was a garden protected by a goddess and funded by some rich philanthropists.

On the way, Ash accidentally left {{AP|Pikachu}} behind when the little mouse got distracted by an abandoned {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Charmander}}. Squirtle wanted to take the two other supposedly abandoned Pokémon to the Hidden Village, which was a paradise according to legends amongst Pokémon.

[[File:Melanie EToP.png|thumb|left|150px|Melanie]]
Pikachu, Charmander, and Squirtle arrived at the Hidden Village after a long journey. Along the way they had joined up with a {{p|Kangaskhan}} and {{OBP|Tommy|EP034}}. They also brought along [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} - who had convinced the group of Pokémon that they wanted to live in a quiet mountain village.

Melanie was viewed as a goddess to the Pokémon. She welcomed everyone to the Hidden Village, where Pokémon were allowed to heal physical and spiritual wounds in peace.

Team Rocket started to catch all the wild Pokémon, but Pikachu and Kangaskhan teamed up and blasted the thieves off with a {{m|Thunder Shock}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} combo.

In the end, Charmander was reunited with [[Damian]], and Squirtle stayed behind with Melanie.

Loon Wolf: Adding Names section

[[File:Hagatha.png|thumb|220px|Hagatha]]
[[File:Nagatha.png|thumb|left|220px|Nagatha]]
'''Hagatha''' (Japanese: '''スズ様''' ''Mrs. Suzu'') and '''Nagatha''' (Japanese: '''カネ様''' ''Mrs. Kane'') are [[Character of the day|characters of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''. Hagatha wears a red headband while Nagatha wears a white headband, and they also have slightly different eyebrows.

Hagatha lives in the middle of a forest that is believed to be haunted. To help people traveling through the forest, she rents {{p|Hoothoot}} to help guide them past the {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, using {{m|Foresight}}. Nagatha lives at the edge of that same forest. She is responsible for collecting the {{p|Hoothoot}} that her sister Hagatha rents to traveling Trainers trying to get through the forest.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were lost in the forest and were being chased by illusions, although they were briefly saved by {{Gary}} and his rented Hoothoot. Later, they ran into Hagatha, who Brock believed must be an illusion because nothing so ugly could be real. Hagatha screamed at Brock and Ash and terrified them, before she rented them a restless Hoothoot who had never guided a person through the forest before.

Once through the forest, Ash and his friends met up with Nagatha. Nagatha told them that she is much better looking than her sister, despite the fact they are identical. The only way to tell the two sisters apart is by their headbands: Nagatha's is white, while Hagatha's is red.

When they have successfully guided a Trainer through the forest the Hoothoot are collected by Hagatha's sister Nagatha. One appeared under the ownership of {{Gary}} when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were scared by hallowed trees, with Gary's rented Hoothoot turning everything back to normal with {{m|Foresight}}. Out of nowhere another one appeared next to {{an|Misty}} and the group followed it until they came to some sort of ruins, housing Hoothoot's Trainer Hagatha. It was revealed she had only one left and it had never guided a Trainer through the forest before, but the group decided to use it anyway. It became the most attached to Misty.

After {{TRT}} attacked and failed, illusions of Pokémon appeared everywhere, causing Hoothoot to run off. In the end, Ash convinced it to help and it helped Misty out of an illusion of Bug Pokémon which were ultimately revealed to be a number of {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}. With the help of Ash's Pokémon, they were able to send them scurrying. At the end of the forest, Hoothoot was handed in to Nagatha.

Hoothoot's known moves are {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Peck}}.}}

'''Booker Hastings''' (Japanese: '''ブッカーシンバラ''' ''Booker Shinbara'') is a resident of [[Cocona Village]] from [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]].

Booker, an expert carpenter, is first met shortly after the {{player}} washes up on [[Dolce Island]] where he was investigating [[Z.Z. Flyer|UFOs]] that were flying around the island. After he introduces himself, Booker offers to take the player to his home in Cocona Village in an unfinished boat of his. Booker has a grandson, {{ra|Ralph}}, who also lives in Cocona Village. Later on in the story he is called upon to fix [[Renbow Island#Booker Bridge|Big Booker Bridge]] after the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] damage it.

He makes ships for a living along with his apprentice {{ra|Nick}}. In case the waves get high on [[Dolce Island]], he looks after the [[Pokémon]] unable to swim or fly by creating refuge boats on the island to keep them safe. When the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] damage the [[Big Booker Bridge]], he notably repairs it in a short amount of time, which is attributed to him designed the bridge. One of his prized ships is [[The Union]], which later on in the game is docked at the [[Tilt Village]] harbor for the player to use. Another creation of Booker is [[Ukulele Pichu|Ukulele]] {{p|Pichu}}'s ukulele, which was made of spare ship material. He gave Pichu the ukulele as a token of his gratitude for making him feel better whenever he got tired of creating the boats on [[Dolce Island]]. Pichu's nickname of Ukulele Pichu was also given to it by Booker. Booker also assisted in evacuating the Pokémon from Dolce Island just before the [[Sky Fortress]] vaporized it.

Loon Wolf: Adding Names section

[[File:Dario.png|thumb|250px|Dario in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'']]
'''Dario''' (Japanese: '''ドリオ''' ''Dorio'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. He also appeared in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==In animation==
Dario was an arrogant and rude {{pkmn|Trainer}} who presumably takes care of the Dodrio at the Pokemon Reserve. He went to great lengths to win the [[Big P Pokémon Race]]. He resorted to cheating, and hired {{TRT}} to stage a stampede that resulted in his rival competitor [[Lara Laramie]] breaking her arm. While she could not compete, {{Ash}} entered in her place, riding her {{p|Ponyta}}.

Thanks to more of Team Rocket's assistance, Dario and his {{p|Dodrio}} quickly took the lead position during most of the race. Out of nowhere, Ash emerged and caught up to him. Dario had his Dodrio {{m|Peck}}ed at Ponyta, but it only delayed the Pokémon temporarily. It then [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Rapidash}} and defeated Dario by just a few centimeters. Dario hypocritically called Ash a cheater, even though ''he'' tried to cheat for the entire race, and attacked Rapidash. Enraged, Dario ordered Dodrio to attack Ash and Rapidash, but Rapidash kicked them with {{m|Stomp}} and sent them flying.

Blaming Team Rocket for his loss, Dario tied them up and had his Dodrio use Peck on them.

Ponyta, however, [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Rapidash}} and won the race sending Dodrio flying with a {{m|Stomp}}.

Dodrio's only known move is {{m|Peck}}.}}

Dario appears in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', where he spooks Lara's Ponyta so that she will be injured and unable to participate in the [[Fuchsia Free-For-All Race]]. Unlike his animated series appearance, he spooks Ponyta by himself without Team Rocket's help. He also hired a bunch of thugs and a herd of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Wartortle}} and {{p|Blastoise}} to help him cheat in the race. He was revealed to be a poor sport when Ash won, trying to take the flag away from him.

==In the games==
[[File:Professor Cozmo ORAS.png|thumb|left|200px|Professor Cozmo at his home in Fallarbor Town]]
Professor Cozmo leaves either with [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} for the [[Meteor Falls]], thinking that they are going to help him excavate meteors.

In [[Generation III]], after defeating the Grunts and the team's leader, the player can take the Meteorite from the machine and return it to the Professor in exchange for {{TM|27|Return}}. In [[Generation VI]], the player keeps the Meteorite for themselves after receiving it from the defeated team leader.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version]]'s first scenario, Takao appears in [[Mossdeep Space Center]], asking for {{ga|Brendan|Orlando}} and {{Steven}}'s help.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire proper, notes in [[Sea Mauville]] reveal that Takao's father, Raizoh, was a researcher for [[Greater Mauville Holdings]] and the [[Devon Corporation]] who spent nearly all his time working, apparently causing his marriage to unravel. One of the few things Raizoh had to remind him of his son was a Hi {{p|Skitty}} doll the latter had sent to Sea Mauville. The retrieval of that doll proves to be the object of the Sea Mauville sidequest. Takao used to live in {{ci|Rustboro}}, but at some time moved, possibly to {{to|Fallarbor}}. The letters also mention that Takao's father had once given him a {{p|Shelgon}}, but once it evolved into {{p|Salamence}}, Takao was disappointed that it no longer looked like a Meteorite and [[trade]]d it for a friend's {{p|Solrock}}. He also received a telescope from his father.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], Professor Cozmo works at the Mossdeep Space Center to help stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] that's on a collision course with the planet. After noticing the meteoroid's approach at the beginning of the episode, he enlists the help of Steven Stone and the player in retrieving him [[Meteorite Shard]]s required to power the device intended to warp the meteoroid somewhere else. However, this plan is ruined when [[Zinnia]], believing the warp hole will just transport the meteoroid into {{pkmn|multiverse|another universe}} to be its problem, destroys the device, much to Cozmo's shock. Once the player has successfully destroyed the meteoroid with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s help, Cozmo is seen celebrating the good news at the Space Center.

After the Delta Episode, Professor Cozmo can be found at his home in Fallarbor, where will give the player a [[Galladite]]. He also mentions that he intends to forward the new information found by the player to [[Professor Sycamore]]. Takao mentions he is friends with Sycamore, as the two worked together a few years prior to the events of the game, researching Meteorites at Meteor Falls.<ref name=Sycamore>''"I know a man, a dear friend in the [[Kalos]] region, who has been researching [[Mega Evolution]]. We worked together a few years back here at Meteor Falls researching Meteorites. I'll have to share this information with him at once."''</ref>

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Professor Cozmo anime.png|250px|thumb|Professor Cozmo in ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'']]
Professor Cozmo appeared in the {{aniseries|RS}} episode ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', where {{Ash}} met him at Mt. Chimney. Similar to the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Team Magma]] was trying to get their hands on the Meteorite he had just found there, eventually succeeding in doing so. The Meteorite was placed inside of a machine in an attempt to make the {{cat|Volcanoes|volcano}} erupt. As Ash was unable to break the Meteorite's container, Professor Cozmo decided to push the whole machine down into the crater instead, choosing to rather lose the Meteorite than let the [[villainous team]] possess it. Afterwards, he guided Ash and {{ashfr}} to take the [[Jagged Pass]] down to [[Lavaridge Town]], wishing Ash good luck in his upcoming [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} at the [[Lavaridge Gym]].

===Pokémon Generations===
{{MissingInfo|1|enva}}
[[File:Professor Cozmo PG.png|250px|thumb|Professor Cozmo in Pokémon Generations]]
Professor Cozmo briefly appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', where he noticed [[Gabby and Ty]] infiltrating the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] in search for information regarding the destruction of the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that had threatened the planet. Feeling the public was not ready yet to learn of the {{p|Deoxys}} that had emerged from the destroyed meteoroid, he tried have the reporter duo hand over the information they had uncovered, only for them to run off while chased by security guards.

==In the manga==
[[File:Professor Cozmo AP.png|thumb|left|180px|Professor Cozmo in Ash & Pikachu]]
[[File:Professor Cozmo Adventures.png|thumb|180px|Professor Cozmo in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
Professor Cozmo appeared in ''[[SP23|Two Groups Attacking! Magma VS. Aqua]]'', playing a similar role as in {{aniseries|RS}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In the [[Chuang Yi]] translation of the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}, he is referred to as '''Professor Starstone'''. This error is rectified when he appears in a flashback during the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}.

Cozmo is apparently good friends with [[Roxanne]] and was once her teacher.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
Professor Cozmo believed [[Team Aqua]] to be noble heroes, so he assisted them with the [[Meteorite]] and their device on [[Mt. Chimney]]. He was taken hostage by Team Aqua and was locked inside [[Team Aqua Hideout|their headquarters]] shortly after their mission succeeded, and only rescued by [[Winona]] and [[Flannery]] deep in the weather crisis. Winona took him to the [[Pokémon Association]] airship, where he was reunited with [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his three aides]].

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
It was revealed in a flashback that Cozmo found the meteor that fell from the sky, which was later a part of Team Aqua's plan. He also discovered two life forms on the meteor, and passed them to [[Mossdeep Space Center]] where they were later stolen.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Cozmo and his three aides confirmed the imminent apocalypse of the planet in ten days by a giant meteor, and later helped out at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] while awaiting the dimensional shifter developed by [[Devon Corporation]]. {{adv|Sapphire}}, after ending up inside the rocket on standby at the Mossdeep Space Center through one of {{p|Hoopa}}'s portals, managed to find her way out of it and handed the dimensional shifter to Cozmo, which he examined to be fully charged. He notified [[Mr. Stone]] and {{Steven}} of the successful delivery, and also the media's knowledge of the meteor's imminent collision with the planet, causing Mr. Stone and Steven to rush back to Mossdeep from [[Sea Mauville]].

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Bertha anime.png|thumb|250px|Bertha in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Bertha was first mentioned by [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', along with the other members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] and the {{pkmn|Champion|League Champion}} {{an|Cynthia}}. She was mentioned again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' by an [[Officer Jenny]].

She physically appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', where she, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, helped [[Roland]] get his {{p|Magby}} back from {{TRT}}. After chasing them with her {{wp|Sport utility vehicle|SUV}}, the group battled Team Rock and Roland was reunited with Magby. Later, Bertha had a {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash, using her {{p|Hippowdon}} against his {{AP|Torterra}}, and she managed to defeat him.

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
She made a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Character====
Bertha has a strong advocacy for observant attitudes in everyday life and spent the entirety of the episode she appeared in to advise the group on their observation skills. For example, when she commented that {{an|Dawn}} should pay attention as well, since it would assist her in her {{pkmn|Contest}}s. Bertha views observation skills as useful tools not only in battles and Contests, but also in everyday life. She also prefers to keep her identity as one of [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Elite Four]] a secret because she doesn't like the expectations attached to the title.

Hippowdon often went underground and then attacked Torterra with a different [[move]] upon resurfacing. Despite this, Ash asked Torterra to sense Hippowdon when he was underground, managing to attack him with {{m|Leaf Storm}}. However, Hippowdon went underground once again and managed to attack Torterra a few more times, defeating it.

Hippowdon briefly appeared alongside Bertha during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Hippowdon's known moves are {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}.}}

==Trivia==
* As noted by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]] in {{B2W2}} in the form of a [[Shauntal/Quotes|quote]] from her novel during the {{player}}'s post-[[National Pokédex]] challenge, Bertha and [[Agatha]] are very similar in appearance and name (both in English and Japanese). However, the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.
** Furthermore, they both are part of their [[region]]s's Elite Four, and their Japanese names both contain 菊 ''kiku'' (chrysanthemum).
** This is further corroborated by {{hi|Charm}} of the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune sisters]], who herself bears a resemblance to both of them, and whose [[Party|team]] is composed of {{p|Rhydon}} (from the same evolutionary line as Bertha's ace in {{game|Platinum}}) and {{p|Gengar}} (Agatha's main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}).
** During the ''[[Electricity Disruptors]]'' event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Volkner]] mistakes Agatha for Bertha. She chastises him for mixing up people's names, and he justifies it by saying it's so dark he can't see well.
* While her Hippowdon is invariably female in the games and in [[Pokémon Adventures]], it shows male coloration in other media—namely the {{Trading Card Game}} and {{pkmn|animation}}.
* Bertha and [[Volkner]] are the only major Trainers in {{aniseries|DP}} to use a Pokémon from their in-game Platinum teams.
* Bertha is the only Sinnoh Elite Four member who was not seen battling {{an|Cynthia}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* In her initial Pokémon Platinum team, Bertha uses a [[level]] 55 {{p|Rhyperior}} that knows {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, which it cannot [[Game move errors|normally learn]] until level 61.
* Bertha is the first female Ground-type specialist in the series, as well as the first Ground-type Elite Four member.

'''Agatha''' (Japanese: '''キクコ''' ''Kikuko'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} who serves as a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}.

==In the core series games==
Agatha is an elderly woman who is the third Trainer of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, and the oldest such known to date. As such, she serves as an inspiration for senior [[Pokémon Trainer]]s all around the region. She uses Ghost-type Pokémon and other Pokémon with horrifying appearances. She has a very short temper and believes Pokémon should primarily be used for battling.

Agatha and [[Professor Oak]] were once friendly rivals in their youth. However, their relationship has grown bitter and strained over the years because Agatha believes he was too weak to continue competing. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], during her [[sync pair story]], "A Day with Agatha", {{mas|Agatha}} explains how she and {{mas|Professor Oak|Oak}} met. Oak was always friendly and open when he was young and would talk to Agatha and try to help her. Though he was only trying to be nice, it still annoyed Agatha because she wanted to be left alone. Agatha would battle Oak to try and get him to go away, but he was always better than her, and so she would battle him again and again. Eventually, the time they spent together began to mean a lot to Agatha. As a result, when Oak got the idea to invent the [[Pokédex]] and subsequently stopped battling, Agatha felt betrayed.

By the events of the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, Agatha is no longer a member of the Elite Four, and [[Bruno]] has assumed her position. Her absence is never explained, but an old portrait with younger versions of her, Professor Oak, and [[Kurt]] can be seen in the latter's house.

[[File:Agatha anime.png|thumb|220px|Agatha in {{aniseries|RS}}]]

==== History ====
Agatha appeared in the {{aniseries|RS}} episode ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. {{Ash}} met her while traveling through [[Viridian City]] during his journey home to [[Pallet Town]]. [[Scott]] formally introduced her to Ash, and Agatha explained that she was acting as the temporary [[Gym Leader]] for the [[Viridian Gym]] until the true new Gym Leader would arrive. She uses {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon for the Gym.

Ash then challenged Agatha to a {{pkmn|battle}}, hoping to demonstrate his strength to Scott. Despite being in the Top 8 of the recent [[Ever Grande Conference]] and putting up a good fight against Agatha, Ash lost to her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}. Despite that, both Agatha and Scott were impressed by Ash's technique, and Agatha revealed to Ash that she is a member of the [[Elite Four]]. She and Scott both recommended Ash to challenge the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and the [[Frontier Brain]]s.

{{TRT}} soon arrived, hoping to kidnap Pikachu, but Ash worked together with Agatha and her {{p|Golbat}} to send the trio blasting off. She then wished Ash the best for his upcoming Battle Frontier challenge and said that she would be rooting for him.

====Character====
Agatha is confident in {{pkmn|battle}} and always looks forward to challenging a strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In her match against {{Ash}}, she bade her time to observe {{AP|Pikachu}}'s movements before having her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} attack. Over time, she has developed an array of strategies to counter an opponent, such as when she used her {{p|Golbat}}'s {{m|Supersonic}} to reflect {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}} rather than {{status|confusion|confusing}} it.

After her {{p|Arbok}} was defeated, Agatha admitted to Blue that she had expected him, as the grandson of [[Professor Oak]], to focus on completing the [[Pokédex]], but Blue responded that, for him, filling the Pokédex was just a tool to become stronger.

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

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Agatha Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Agatha in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
=====Past=====
Agatha was old friends with [[Professor Oak]], [[Kurt]], [[Pryce]], and the [[Day-Care Couple]] in their youth. One day, Pryce was caught in an avalanche that killed two of his Lapras, La Pris, and La Prus. As Pryce began to close himself off from his friends, the group composed a [[Boy and his Lapras|song]] in the hopes of consoling him. Despite their efforts, the song failed with Pryce growing increasingly isolated and distant from his former friends.

During the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]], she confronted Oak backstage and asked why he quit their "research group". He explained that he disagreed with their methods and wanted to create the [[Pokédex]], which she thought was a stupid idea that would never be complete, and a battle ensued which Oak won. Agatha would soon face Oak again in the finals of the Pokémon League, which Oak barely won after a battle that lasted over eight hours. Agatha would end up developing a personal vendetta against him and anyone who associates with him.

====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Agatha debuted in a cameo when Professor Oak talked about his first championship win, which was against her in the finals. Agatha, along with the rest of the original [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], physically debuted in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', where they were seen observing {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}'s battle at [[Indigo Plateau]].

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Agatha was one of the main villains in this chapter; she was one of the Elite Four who tried to destroy most of humanity from their base on [[Cerise Island]].

She was first seen trying to take away {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}} after he was defeated by Yellow and the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto. She was then seen in a flashback during the events of the previous chapter where she battled Blue and attempted to kill him by having her Gengar use Dream Eater to suck away his energy. While encased in the Dream Eater's coffin, she told him of her vendetta against Professor Oak and anyone associated with him, which included Blue.
He managed to escape with help from his Golduck, and a Haunter she stole from {{tc|Camper}} [[Evan]] was also taken back. She then had her Gengar lead an army of Haunter to attack [[Cerulean City]] to delay [[Misty]].

She fought {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]], revealing an Arbok with the ability to change the pattern on its belly and use different corresponding abilities. She decided to divide Koga and Blue using her Arbok's Rock Slide and she had her Golbat attack Blue. While Blue was distracted fighting Golbat, she had her Gengar use {{m|Lick}} on Blue's eyes, causing temporary blindness. After battling Koga's Arbok for a while Koga started throwing shuriken balls out of nowhere, which Agatha believed was a pitiful attempt to harm her but was really Koga's attempt to get a Paralyze Heal to Blue. After that Blue rejoined the battle and Koga used his Golbat's {{m|Leech Life}} to collect his own blood and smeared it on Arbok's pattern, preventing it from changing anymore. While Agatha was presumably beaten, her Arbok was reading itself to attack an unknowing Koga from behind, only to be stopped by Blue before it could land a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack. Agatha was subsequently defeated and seemingly vanished after her defeat, but not before she had her Gengar masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly drain their energy, which was defeated as well. She then revealed that she was the one controlling the Pokémon armies of her peers by using special wrist bands to control them.

Agatha used the mind-controlling powers of her {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to control [[Bruno]] against his will. It is shown that she was the one who also recruited Lorelei by healing her Seel and then figuring out they have a common distaste of humans.

[[Blue's Charizard]] was able to defeat Gastly by attacking out of nowhere, after which the boy deduces that the same Elite Four member whom he'd fought before was behind the scenes. In said battle, [[Blue's Scyther]] was used to {{m|Slash}} Gastly into pieces.

Agatha has competed in the following [[Pokémon League]]s:
* First Triennial [[Indigo League]] - Runner-up (prior to ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'')

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Agatha PM.png|thumb|200px|Agatha in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Agatha appears in ''[[PM035|Panic on the Luxury Liner?!]]''. She has the ability to transform into a {{p|Golbat}}.

She is first seen as a Golbat, spying on Red as he boarded the Luxury Liner. After they boarded, Agatha transformed into a human. She took an interest in {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}. She does everything to get Clefairy to obey her. While on the ship, she caused the captain to collapse and made Clefairy the new captain. However, all of this turned out to be fake as Agatha was only interested in Clefairy because his blood seemed tasty. After she sucked Clefairy's blood, Red found out who she was as she transformed into a Golbat. However, the blood Agatha drained from Clefairy turned out to taste bad, and miniature versions of Clefairy escaped Agatha's Golbat body. She was last seen in the water after the Luxury Liner got destroyed.

==In the TCG==
[[File:AgathaChillingReign186.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Agatha]]
{{main|Agatha (Chilling Reign 129)}}
'''Agatha''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Jet-Black Spirit}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Chilling Reign}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by [[NC Empire]]. It allows the player to move up to three damage counters from their Active Pokémon to their opponent's.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Agatha M01.png|thumb|250px|The shadowy person resembling Agatha from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'']]
* In the ''[[M01#Kanzenban version|kanzenban]]'' version (Japanese: '''完全版''' ''full version'') of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a shadowed person greatly resembling Agatha appears, using a {{p|Gengar}}. It is not confirmed whether this person really is Agatha or not.
* As noted by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]] in {{B2W2}} in the form of a quote from her novel during the {{player}}'s post-[[National Pokédex]] challenge, Agatha and [[Bertha]] are very similar in appearance and name (both in English and Japanese).
** Furthermore, they both are part of their [[region]]s's Elite Four, and their Japanese names both contain 菊 ''kiku'' (chrysanthemum).
** This is further corroborated by {{hi|Charm}} of the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune sisters]], who herself bears a resemblance to both of them and whose [[Party|team]] is composed of {{p|Rhydon}} (from the same evolutionary line as Bertha's ace in {{game|Platinum}}) and {{p|Gengar}} (Agatha's main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in essentially every [[canon]]).
** During the ''[[Electricity Disruptors]]'' event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Volkner]] mistakes Agatha for Bertha. She chastises him for mixing up people's names, and he justifies it by saying it's so dark he can't see well.
* Though Agatha is stated to [[Type specialist|specialize]] in the {{type|Ghost}}, {{t|Poison}} is actually the most common [[type]] among all of her Pokémon in the [[core series]] games, present in all but two of her Pokémon, {{p|Misdreavus}} and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}, due to the lack of Ghost-type Pokémon in [[Generation I]].
** In her Generation I teams and her initial teams in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation VII]], all of her Pokémon are either pure or partly Poison types, making Agatha the only member of the [[Kanto]] Elite Four to have ever had an initial team in which all members share a common type.
*** This distinction is shared with [[Lance]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. However, Lance is considered the Champion in those generations rather than an Elite Four member. This distinction only applies to his team in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, his initial Champion team, and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where all his Pokémon are also {{t|Flying|Flying types}}, and he has more Flying-types than {{t|Dragon}} types, despite being a Dragon-type specialist.
* In the Generation I {{pkmn|games}}, the {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], and Agatha use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against [[Lance]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.
* As Agatha's name in Japanese includes "chrysanthemum", the design of the shawl she wears in her [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] concept art is based on chrysanthemum leaves.<ref name=Guide>''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!: Official Trainer's Guide & Pokédex]]'', p. 373</ref>
** Furthermore, this association of Agatha with the chrysanthemum may be a reference to how the chrysanthemum is seen a symbol of death in some European countries, being used only for funerals or on graves.

He initially [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but is eventually scouted by [[Opal]] to succeed her as a {{type|Fairy}} [[Gym Leader]], and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], he gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Bede is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. He is an arrogant, rude young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Rose]], who gave Bede his first Pokémon, later revealed to be his {{p|Hatterene}}, upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. The player and [[Hop]] first meet him when signing up for the Gym Challenge, though his name is not revealed at the time. He is immediately dismissive of Hop and the player character, believing that his connection to the chairman gives him privilege. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become {{pkmn|Champion}}, he has been gathering [[Wishing Star]]s in large quantities to help the Chairman realize his ambition. However, in his zealous pursuit of Wishing Stars, Bede brings harm to a historic landmark in [[Stow-on-Side]], and Rose disqualifies him from the Gym Challenge in disappointment.

After the player returns from [[Ballonlea]] to [[Hammerlocke]] with the [[Badge#Fairy Badge Galar|Fairy Badge]], Opal notices the sulking Bede and is struck with inspiration, asking him to become her successor. Bede reluctantly agrees, believing he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a [[Gym Leader]], interrupting the finals of the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] and demanding to battle the player, staking his career on his victory. After losing, Bede, who had begun to regret accepting Opal's offer, reveals he was planning on using the result of the battle as an excuse to get away from his mentor. However, after hearing the crowd cheer him on despite his loss, he feels obligated to continue training, figuring he will be able to completely surpass Opal soon.

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player, Hop, and former Gym Leader [[Piers]] head to [[Ballonlea Stadium]] while trying to stop [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], but in the lobby, Bede confidently declares that he has taken care of most of the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon running rampant in his Stadium already. The player's group attempts to leave, but Bede refuses to let them go until he has a battle with the new Champion. After some assurance from Opal, the group decides to indulge Bede. During the battle, Bede acknowledges the player's strength, and after being defeated, accepts them as Champion. A more humble Trainer now, Bede swears he'll overcome his weakness and, in his words, "reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do."

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Bede's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Bede spent some time living in an orphanage after his family ran into some trouble when he was young. He always had difficulty getting along with others and would constantly get into fights. That is until one day [[Rose]] visited the facility. Rose gave Bede a Pokémon, which changed Bede's life forever. He showed talent as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and threw himself into [[Pokémon battle]]s, becoming stronger by the day. He has joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with an endorsement from the chairman himself, and Bede plans to prove that the chairman's faith was not misplaced."
;Rare League Card
:"He was appointed by the former [[Gym Leader]] [[Opal]] to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. The general consensus is that Opal's harsh training has in fact mellowed him out. Though he himself has never confirmed nor denied this, it should be noted that he no longer refuses to give autographs. Additionally, it seems his skills as a Pokémon Trainer have also increased rather dramatically. Recently, his intrusion during the Finals of the Champion Cup has gained popularity, and fans wish to see that kind of performance again. Bede himself is not sure how to react."

===Pokémon===
Bede keeps his Pokémon in [[Great Ball]]s.

After the others went inside, {{Henry}} pointed out that Bede was protecting the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s found inside the mine. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they each fought a Gym battle against [[Milo]] and won.

In ''[[PASS10|Blazing!! Bede's Feelings]]'', Bede learned that [[Rose]] had dinner with Henry in [[Hulbury]], infuriating him. Wanting to have Henry retire from the Gym Challenge, Bede challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}} but lost. Despite this, Bede revealed the reason he was collecting Wishing Stars was to help Rose.

In ''[[PASS14|Teary!! The Voice of the Master]]'', Bede watched Henry's Gym battle against [[Allister]] in [[Stow-on-Side]], but felt the former's performance was lacking and quickly left. Afterward, he used Rose's {{p|Copperajah}} to try and destroy the Stow-on-Side mural, but was found by Casey, [[Marvin]], [[Professor Magnolia]], and Allister. Bede was then caught by several {{tc|League Staff}} at the request of Rose, who reprimanded Bede for damaging an important piece of Galar's history. As punishment for his actions, Bede was disqualified from the Gym Challenge.

In ''[[PASS16|Rising!! Opal of Ballonlea]]'', in [[Hammerlocke]], Bede finished his forced withdrawal from the Gym Challenge. He was given a letter from [[Ballonlea]] Gym Leader, [[Opal]], but crushed it in his hands without reading it. He was then alerted to a loud rumbling and wondered if it came from the Hammerlocke [[Energy Plant]]. At the plant, Bede met [[Sonia]] and witnessed [[Leon]] trying to enter the building only to be turned away by the {{tc|League Staff}}. Worried for Rose's safety, Bede attempted to break in, but was warned by [[Raihan]] that his behavior would potentially lower Rose's opinion of him even further should everything be fine.

In ''[[PASS20|Cracking!! Brilliant Tap-Dancing]]'', Bede accepted Opal's invitation and visited her at the [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. Opal, having taken a liking to Bede's personality, accepted him as a successor for her title of Gym Leader. He subsequently started undertaking the training necessary to be ready for this position at the Gym.

[[File:Bede Gym Leader Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Bede after training with Opal]]
In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Galar Gym Leaders agreed to gather at [[Rose Tower]] to find out whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to the region. Bede and Opal arrived first, but were stopped by Oleana. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Bede, Henry, Casey, Hop, and Marnie headed up the elevator to meet with Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose revealed that he would be restarting the [[Darkest Day]] in order to ensure Galar has a future. Power Spot lights then began appearing all over Galar, causing Pokémon to begin [[Dynamax]]ing at random. While some went back to their hometowns to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon, Bede traveled with the others to the Hammerlocke Energy Plant, where they were joined by Leon's group. Upon entering the building, everyone found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In ''[[PASS27|Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan]]'', Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite their claims of being descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, Sordward and Shielbert were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana explained that Rose's actions were for the benefit of Galar and requested that everyone help stop Eternatus. The group agreed and made their way to the summit, only to find Rose had already been defeated. Bede kept Rose safe while the others faced Eternatus. They managed to take Eternatus down, but it got back up, changed into its Eternamax form, and quickly overwhelmed them. {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} arrived to save everyone, but when they tried using the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]], Eternatus grabbed them as well as Henry.

In ''[[PASS30|Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry]]'', Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus with a double {{m|Giga Impact}}, causing a massive explosion of energy and light. Once the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus had all vanished. Casey and [[Marvin]] reviewed footage of the incident and discovered something {{m|teleport}}ing Henry away just as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus clashed. By tracking samples of Eternatus's poison on Henry's body and the material of the rusted artifacts, Casey found matching signals on both the [[Isle of Armor]] and the [[Crown Tundra]]. With no idea where Henry ended up, Oleana sent Bede, Casey, Marvin, Hop, and Marnie to both locations.

In ''[[PASS32|Boom!! Reunion in a New Land]]'', while riding a train to the Crown Tundra, Bede, Marnie, and Hop encountered [[Peonia]], a girl trying to escape from her overbearing father, [[Peony]]. They agreed to help, but upon noticing Peony's resemblance to Rose, Bede's dedication to the chairman led him to exposing Peonia. Later, at the station, Marnie challenged Peony to a battle, stating that if she won, Peonia would be allowed to go free. After Marnie won and Peonia left, Bede and the others agreed to take her place as part of the Peony Exploration Team. The four traveled to [[Freezington]], where their home base was located.

In ''[[PASS36|Rrmbll!! Serious Tower Battle]]'', Bede, Marnie, and Hop arrived at [[Dyna Tree Hill]], where they found a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Detecting traces of the rusted items in the area, Bede and the others split up to determine which of the Legendary bird Pokémon knew where it was located. Hop and Marnie went after Moltres and Zapdos respectively, leaving Bede with Articuno. In ''[[PASS37|Crackle!! Retrieve the Sword & Shield]]'', after an encounter with Moltres, Henry was taken to the Crown Tundra, where he reunited with Bede. Henry was introduced to Peony, only for the man to immediately take a disliking towards the boy. When Peonia returned to participate in the adven-tour, a delighted Peony also agreed to let Henry join as well. That night, Peonia found her father floating in midair. Bede explained that it was the work of {{p|Calyrex}}, the King of Bountiful Harvests, in order for it to communicate with humans. The three agreed to help restore Calyrex to its former glory in exchange for it locating the [[Rusted Sword]].

In ''[[PASS39|Clip-Clop!! The King's Horse]]'', Bede's group tried reuniting Calyrex with its former loyal steed, {{p|Spectrier}}. With the [[Black Mane Hair]] collected from Spectrier and the [[Radiant Petal]] Calyrex made, Henry forged the [[Reins of Unity]]. The group lured Spectrier to the [[Crown Shrine]], but they were interrupted by a Gigantamaxed {{p|Corviknight}} and {{p|Butterfree}}. Realizing the Darkest Day had restarted, Bede, Henry, Peony, and Peonia fought off the rampaging giants. With the reins, Calyrex reforged its bond with Spectrier and changed into its {{form|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} form, allowing it to find and retrieve the Rusted Sword.

In ''[[PASS41|Shing!! Final Form]]'', Bede and Henry returned to the Galar mainland, where they reunited with Casey, Hop, and Marvin. There, they witnessed Zacian and Zamazenta use the rusted tools to become their {{form|Zacian and Zamazenta|Crowned Sword and Shield}} forms. They traveled to Hammerlocke to confront Eternatus again, only to find a trio of nobles demanding that Sordward and Shielbert have their status as nobles reinstated and blocking the entrance to the city with their [[Gigantamax]]ed Pokémon. By Gigantamaxing their own Pokémon, Henry, Casey, and Hop defeated the nobles, allowing Bede to use his Gigantamax {{p|Hatterene}} to determine where Eternatus was hiding. With Eternatus exposed, Zacian and Zamazenta combined their strength and finally took down the {{pkmn|category|Gigantic Pokémon}}, ending the Darkest Day.

In ''[[PASS43|Fwoom!! Goodbye, Galar]]'', Bede paid Rose a visit in jail. Rose apologized for his earlier mistreatment of Bede during the Gym Challenge and explained he was only trying to keep the boy from being an accomplice to his crimes.

==Trivia==
[[File:RoseTower.png|thumb|150px|Logo of [[Rose Tower]]]]
* Bede's uniform number is "908", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Numeric substitution in Japanese|goroawase}} for クレバー ''kurebā'', meaning "clever".
* According to his concept art, Bede is left-handed.
* The logo of [[Rose Tower]] can be seen on the back of Bede's jacket. The same logo is printed on the uniforms of certain [[Macro Cosmos's (Trainer_class)|Macro Cosmos employees]].
* Bede is currently the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} to permanently change his type specialization during a game, going from {{type|Psychic}} to {{type|Fairy}}, though his party still has three Psychic types.
** He is also the second Trainer known to have changed his type specialization overall, following [[Jasmine]], who used to train {{type|Rock}} before becoming the {{type|Steel}} expert she currently is.
* Bede is the only Trainer with multiple [[League Card]]s to have his signature change between the two.
* Bede is the only rival from the release version of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] not to appear in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* Bede getting recruited by [[Opal]] might be a reference to concept of changelings. In folklore, fairies were known to kidnap children and replace them with deformed fae children of their own. Opal is the [[Fairy (type)|Fairy-type]] gym leader and Bede's original type, [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]], is replaced by the [[Fairy (type)|Fairy-type]].

'''Stow-on-Side''' (Japanese: '''ラテラルタウン''' ''Lateral Town'') is a town situated in the west-central [[Galar]] [[region]]. It connects to {{rt|6|Galar}} in the east and [[Glimwood Tangle]] in the north. It houses the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], the fourth [[Gym]] in Galar's [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]].

==Slogan==
'''''A vibrant town that has grown up around an ancient mural tucked away in the mountains.''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|古代|こだい}}の　{{tt|芸術|げいじゅつ}}を　{{tt|中心|ちゅうしん}}に　{{tt|栄|さか}}えてきた　{{tt|山間|やまあい}}の　{{tt|町|まち}}}}''' ''A town in the mountains that has flourished around ancient art.'')

==Places of interest==
The upper, northern part of Stow-on-Side consists of a Y-shaped intersection of paths. The [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]] sits at the intersection; the western path, up the stairs, leads to the ancient mural; and the eastern path leads to [[Glimwood Tangle]]. The lower, southern part of Stow-on-Side consists of a wide market area that houses the bargain shop, valuable item buyer's stall, and a [[Pokémon Center]].

===Stow-on-Side Stadium===
{{main|Stow-on-Side Stadium}}
Stow-on-Side Stadium is the town's official [[Gym]]. In Pokémon Sword, it is led by the {{type|Fighting}} [[Type expert|expert]] [[Bea]], while in Pokémon Shield, its leader is the {{type|Ghost}} expert [[Allister]].

===Ancient mural===
At the northernmost point of the town, up two flights of stairs, a colorful recreation of an ancient mural covers a large stone wall. During the game's story, [[Bede]] attempts to destroy the mural to find [[Wishing Star]]s, causing it to collapse. The mural's collapse reveals a hidden chamber that contains statues of {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and the [[first kings of Galar]].

===Bargain shop===
The bargain shop sits just to the west of the [[Pokémon Center]]. The shopkeeper will sell the {{player}} one item per day for {{pdollar}}3,000. If asked, the shopkeeper will also tell the player which item the shop will sell the next day. If the player does not purchase the daily item from the bargain shop, the shop will sell that item the following day for {{pdollar}}5,000.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240812001724/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1822789445625508139</ref>

During the post-game, the shopkeeper gives the player various {{cat|legendary artifacts}} if the player owns the appropriate {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]].

===Valuable item buyer===
A man next to the bargain shop will buy one [[valuable item]] from the player per day at a higher price than what a [[Poké Mart]] would offer. The highest purchase price difference — a {{PDollar}}17,500 increase from the normal price — is available for a [[Balm Mushroom]], [[Pearl String]], or [[Comet Shard]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Stow-on-Side first appeared in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', where [[Sonia]] took [[Goh]] to visit the ancient mural. When they were about to leave, one of [[Oleana's subordinate]]s attacked them with his [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Garbodor}}. In response, Goh [[Dynamax]]ed his {{TP|Goh|Raboot}}. During the ensuing {{pkmn|battle}}, Raboot accidentally destroyed the mural, revealing a set of statues hidden behind it. The battle concluded in [[JN044|the next episode]], with Raboot defeating its opponent. After examining the statues and identifying them as {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, Goh and Sonia headed to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to go find the two [[Legendary Pokémon]].

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}} was shown to have involuntarily Dynamaxed at Stow-on-Side due to {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}'s influence. Once Eternatus was defeated and the [[Darkest Day]] ended, it reverted back to normal.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'', {{Ash}} and Goh traveled to Stow-on-Side for Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] [[rematch]] against [[Bea]]. They were soon joined by {{an|Korrina}}, who declared that she was going to cheer for both Ash and Bea. The battle begun the next day and continued in [[JN086|the next episode]], ending with Ash as the victor.

Ash and Goh arrived in Stow-on-Side once more at the end of ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]''. In [[JN092|the next episode]], they visited [[Allister]]'s {{type|Ghost}} Gym to get help in [[Gigantamax]]ing [[Ash's Gengar]]. After collecting some [[Max Mushrooms]] with Allister's help and having him make {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} out of them, Ash was able to Gigantamax Gengar at the Stow-on-Side Stadium.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
Stow-on-Side first appeared in ''[[PASS13|Glittering!! The Tapestry in the Vault]]'', where {{Henry}}, {{Casey}}, [[Marvin]], and [[Professor Magnolia]] arrived there, accompanied by [[Opal]], whom they had met in [[Hammerlocke]]. After their arrival, Henry and Casey prepared to challenge [[Allister]] at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], while Professor Magnolia headed to [[Ballonlea]] with Opal.

After Henry had won his Gym battle in ''[[PASS14|Teary!! The Voice of the Master]]'', the local mural was attacked by [[Bede]], who was searching for [[Wishing Star]]s for [[Rose|Chairman Rose]]. However, Rose soon appeared in person, and, disappointed in Bede's actions, revoked his {{tc|Gym Challenger}} status. Later, Casey also challeged and successfully defeated Allister.

In ''[[PASS20|Cracking!! Brilliant Tap-Dancing]]'', [[Sonia]] told Henry, Casey, and Marvin that the damage Bede had caused to the mural had resulted in it breaking apart completely, revealing statues of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. She theorized that the statues had been hidden in order to prevent the two Pokémon's involvement in the legend about Galar's history from being found out. In ''[[PASS28|Splash!! The Return of the Two Pokémon]]'', this was revealed to have been the work of [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]'s family in order to make them seem like the true heroes.

'''Todd Snap''' (Japanese: '''トオル''' ''Toru'') is a professional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[photography|photographer]]. Making his debut in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, he is most notable as the [[player character]] of {{g|Snap}}.

==In the games==
[[File:Todd Snap sprite.png|thumb|left|Todd's sprite from [[Pokémon Snap]]]]
[[File:Todd Snap Pokémon Snap opening.png|thumb|left|180px|Todd in the opening of Pokémon Snap]]
===Pokémon Snap===
Todd is the protagonist of {{g|Snap}}. [[Professor Oak]] hires him to go to [[Pokémon Island]] with the [[ZERO-ONE]] vehicle to take pictures of [[wild Pokémon]] behaving naturally for the [[Pokémon Report]]. He travels all over the island, getting pictures of all the 63 [[Pokémon (species)|species]] present on it, including the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}.

===New Pokémon Snap===
Years after the events of Pokémon Snap, Todd appears in [[New Pokémon Snap]] to assist the {{player}} in conducting an ecological survey of the [[Lental]] region. He also worked with [[Professor Mirror]] to design the player's vehicle, the [[NEO-ONE]], which is based on the ZERO-ONE. Prior to the events of the game, [[Phil]] was astonished by his pictures and asked Todd to become his mentor.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
The ZERO-ONE appears as a trophy in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. Todd is mentioned in the trophy description.

===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Todd Snap.png|thumb|250px|left|Todd Snap in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
Todd debuted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', where he began traveling with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} until ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. He had recently become famous after he took a picture of a supposedly extinct {{p|Aerodactyl}} — namely, the very same one that tried to eat Ash, who also appeared in the photo but was blurred out, in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. He was hailed for being able to "capture any Pokémon on film". After seeing the article in a magazine, {{MTR}} misunderstood the wording, not seeing the "on film" part. {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised themselves]] and hired Todd to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Japanese version of his debut episode has his resume revealing that he is 10 years old, although this was omitted from the English [[dub]] due to it zooming in on the picture and not translating his resume.

While Ash and his friends were taking a break, Ash suddenly spotted what he thought was a gun. Todd promptly emerged from the bushes, fearing that his camera would be damaged, and explained that he was trying to get a shot of Pikachu. Todd went on to invite Ash and his friends over to his home, which was filled with albums and wall hangings of many of his proudest shots. Todd's insistence on getting the perfect shot of Pikachu and show-off behavior continued to annoy Ash. However, after he and Ash became trapped in an underground pipe and defeated Team Rocket, the two boys eventually settled their differences.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', when {{an|Misty}} mentioned that it had been a while since {{Ash}} had earned a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] and mocked his skills as a Trainer, Todd suggested that Ash should take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] if he wanted to prove his skills. During the exam, Todd used his camera to capture Ash's disappointing results in the theory test, and also his reactions while battling [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] in the practice skills exam.

In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Todd's photography helped expose [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s Pokémon theft scheme and led to their arrest by [[Officer Jenny]]. Todd later left the trio to continue taking pictures in the mountains.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'', Todd rejoined Ash's group while they were up in the mountains of [[Johto]]. He was trying to capture a picture of the [[legendary birds|Legendary bird]] {{OBP|Articuno|Johto}}. After successfully photographing the [[Legendary Pokémon]] in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', Todd decided to remain at [[Snowtop Mountain]] to continue taking photos of the local [[wild Pokémon]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Todd briefly appeared outside [[Wyndon Stadium]], witnessing how {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} stabilized the unstable [[Galar particle]]s around it during Ash and {{an|Leon}}'s battle in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] finals.

===Character===
[[File:Todd Snap home.png|thumb|250px|Todd's home]]
Todd is an enthusiastic photographer who enjoys adventuring through the mountains. He prefers to take natural shots to capture a Pokémon's true nature, and dislikes posed shots. His persistence and ambitious goals have helped him in his quick rise to fame.

In his debut appearance, Todd was more concerned with his camera equipment and getting a good shot. For example, in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', he attempted to take {{AP|Pikachu}}'s photograph while {{Ash}} remained stuck in one of {{TRT}}'s pitfall traps. He seems to have matured in his later appearances, since he was more aware of the surrounding situations and less prone to looking at the world through his camera lens.

He is also kindhearted, offering to take [[Sophia]] and [[Marcello]]'s 50th anniversary photograph in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Todd Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Todd in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Todd appears as a recurring character in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, years after his debut appearances in other [[canon]]s. He is never referred to by name in this canon.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
Todd debuted in ''[[PS303|Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo]]'', having come to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} as a reporter assigned to cover the area's seven-day opening ceremony. There, he encountered the eccentric young {{adv|Emerald}}, who ended up saving Todd from a wild {{TP|Emerald|Sudowoodo}}. Throughout the arc, he followed the events in the Battle Frontier, aiding Emerald along with {{adv|Eon duo|Latias and Latios}} during the crisis caused by [[Guile Hideout]]. In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', {{adv|Professor Oak}}, impressed by Todd's photos, asked him if he would like to work with him by going to [[Pokémon Island|an island populated by a variety of Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon Snap|taking photos of them]]. He gladly accepted the offer.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Todd made a cameo appearance in ''[[PS605|Swampert Smashes]]'', where he was seen riding the [[ZERO-ONE]] while hearing the news about the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that was about to hit the planet in several days.

==Quotes==
===New Pokémon Snap===
'''When running a scan'''

'''At the end of a course'''

'''When viewing the Lental Map'''

'''When selecting a course'''
:"Photographing wild Pokémon well takes patience. The mark of a pro is when you don't just put in the time - you enjoy it, too!"
:"I've taken photos all over the world, but still, I've got to admit... Lental's a fascinating place!"
:"Watching you takes me back to when I was a beginner. I gotta recapture that drive to improve!"

'''Outside the Lab'''
:"Look, it's that {{p|Starly}} that always hands out around here. After watching it for so long, I can tell it apart from others!"
:"Oooh, the perfect moment! ...Got it. It really is great to see Pokémon in their natural state."
:"So those glowing flowers are called crystablooms, huh? It's pretty interesting to see how Pokémon react to them."
:"Phil's been talking about your photos a lot lately. I'm glad he's found himself such a good rival."

'''Inside the Lab'''
:"I never invited Phil to be my pupil - he just declared himself my "number one student" and started tagging along! But honestly... I was kind of flattered."

==Trivia==
* Todd is the first male player character to meet Ash.
* Todd is the only spin-off game character to appear in [[Pokémon Adventures]] proper, and, due to his introduction in the [[Pokémon animated series]] long before Pokémon Snap was released, the only animation-introduced character to appear in Pokémon Adventures.
* He had two separate names in the English-language dub. He is known as '''Todd''' in the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}, {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}}, and [[Pokémon TV]] versions and '''Snap''' in the DVD/VHS version. When [[Pokémon.com]] announced that the episodes featuring him would air on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Toonami Jetstream}} to celebrate the release of Pokémon Snap on [[Virtual Console]] in December 2007, they remedied the conflict by making Snap his surname.
* Including spin-off games, [[Kellyn]] and Todd Snap are the only human player characters who don't wear any sort of headwear.

'''Archie''' (Japanese: '''アオギリ''' ''Aogiri'') is the head of [[Team Aqua]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Aqua Leader''' (Japanese: '''アクアだんリーダー''' ''Team Aqua Leader'') and '''Team Aqua''' (Japanese: '''{{j|アクアだん}}''' ''Team Aqua'').

==In the core series games==
[[File:Archie ORAS.png|thumb|200px|left|Archie at the Oceanic Museum]]
[[File:Archie Mt. Chimney ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Archie at Mt. Chimney]]
[[File:Archie Seafloor Cavern ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Archie at the Seafloor Cavern]]

In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, Archie helps the {{player}} against [[Team Magma]]. He does not have an active role in the storyline and cannot be battled.

In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire}}, he first appears in the [[Oceanic Museum]] in Slateport City, trying to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}/[[Devon Parts]]{{sup/6|AS}} from [[Captain Stern]]. In Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire, Team Aqua members later steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] and try to turn [[Mt. Chimney]] into a lake{{sup/3|S}}/to fashion a Mega Stone for Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. In Emerald, he instead appears with Aqua members at Meteor Falls, and acts as a temporary ally with the player against Team Magma who instead have stolen the Meteorite and are trying to find {{p|Groudon}}. After, thanking the player for his help and briefly asking if he is on their side, he departs and is not seen for a while. [[Shelly]] and several grunts later raid the [[Weather Institute]], and Archie steals the [[Red Orb]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}/[[Blue Orb]]{{sup/6|AS}} from [[Mt. Pyre]]. Later, he and the Team Aqua members turn up in Slateport again as Captain Stern announces a discovery he has made about [[Seafloor Cavern|a seafloor cavern]]. Team Aqua promptly steals the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern has built and goes for the Seafloor Cavern to awaken {{p|Kyogre}}. However he is unable to control the Legendary Pokémon. After, Kyogre is calmed, Archie sees the error of his ways and disbands Team Aqua after returning the stolen orb.

During the [[Delta Episode]] in Alpha Sapphire, Archie is first seen in his hideout, where [[Zinnia]] shows up to take his [[Key Stone]] in order to summon {{p|Rayquaza}}, doing so just as the player reaches his room. Afterwards, Archie has [[Matt]] hand the player his [[Sharpedonite]], figuring that now that he's lost his Key Stone, he no longer has need for the [[Mega Stone]], either. After the events of the Delta Episode, he apologizes his Admins for his actions, deciding to start anew as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Later, Archie can be chosen as a [[Multi Battle]] partner at the [[Battle Maison]].

In Omega Ruby, Archie and his Admins appear at the [[Battle Resort]] when the player first visits it after the Delta Episode. During the brief meeting, Archie alludes to his role in Alpha Sapphire, but dismisses such possibility as nonsense, before having Matt give the player a Sharpedonite.

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Archie, as he appears in [[Generation III]], appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. He is one of the first pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Maxie]]. When the player reaches him in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], he expresses dismay that the player defeated his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s, considering them his crew even though they are not members of Team Aqua. Archie explains that, in the world he came from, he successfully completed his plans to expand the oceans, only to be swallowed by a massive tidal wave during his moment of victory, subsequently finding himself in the game's world. Though he intends to return to his world, he decides to use Kyogre to turn the game's world into his ideal state as well. He battles the player and, despite using Kyogre against them, loses. He then allows the player to activate the switch in his office painting so they may advance. Later, Archie enters the main hall of the castle while [[Guzma]] is helping the player hold off two Team Rainbow Rocket Grunts, only to encounter Maxie, mistaking him for the Maxie from his universe. The two decide to battle to resolve their conflict once and for all, only to be warped away by a [[Colress|mysterious force]] as they leave.

[[File:Archie anime.png|thumb|250px|Archie in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
====History====
Archie debuted in the {{aniseries|RS}} episode ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. After [[Shelly]], acting on Archie's orders, successfully released {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} from Team Magma's mobile sea base, Archie emerged from the sea inside Team Aqua's submarine, and used the [[Red Orb]], which had recently come in his possession, to take control of Kyogre, having it destroy the base completely as Team Magma narrowly escaped. Later, on [[Monsu Island]], Archie met up with [[Maxie]] and negotiated the release of two {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s in exchange for the [[Blue Orb]], not knowing that it had already been absorbed by [[Ash's Pikachu]]. When {{TRT}} invaded Team Aqua's submarine in an attempt to steal Kyogre, Archie accused Team Magma of being behind it.
[[File:Red Orb possession.png|thumb|250px|left|Archie possessed by the Red Orb]]
In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Team Rocket's unsuccessful stealing attempt caused Kyogre to be released into the ocean. As a result, Archie took flight with his personal miniature aircraft, and started controlling Kyogre from midair using the Red Orb. However, it was revealed that the Orb was actually controlling him instead; maddened by its effects, he intended to sink the entire island into the ocean, not caring that many of his own men were still on it. When [[Lance]] tried to retrieve the Red Orb from Archie, he had Kyogre attack the {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and it proved to be extremely strong, easily countering [[Lance's Gyarados]]'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} with its own. Suddenly, the Red Orb absorbed itself into Archie's body, bonding with him and driving him further into insanity.

After Pikachu freed {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} from Team Aqua's submarine, the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] started battling each other. Soon, Lance understood that Groudon was trying to stop Kyogre from sinking the island into the sea, so {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decided to help it to do so. Having {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} attack Archie's aircraft, {{an|May}} and {{an|Brock}} managed to distract Archie and Kyogre long enough for Groudon to fire a {{m|Solar Beam}} at the Sea Basin Pokémon, defeating it. The Red Orb then debonded with Archie, causing him to lose consciousness and fall off his aircraft, only to be caught mid-fall by [[Lance's Dragonite]]. When Archie later woke up, he seemed to have forgotten everything, asking Shelly what happened. He then united everyone else around to watch as the Orbs disappeared, freeing Kyogre and Groudon and allowing them to return to their natural habitats. Following these events, Team Aqua was eventually disbanded, as revealed in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Archie Adventures.png|thumb|180px|Archie in the fourth chapter]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Archie is one of the two main antagonists of this chapter. He leads Team Aqua in their quest to awaken {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} to expand the sea. Team Aqua clashes with Team Magma, who aim to awaken {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} to expand the land. Archie also serves as the head of [[TV Mauville|Hoenn TV]], which he manipulates to create anti-Team Magma propaganda while covering up the actions of his own team.

Archie debuts in ''[[PS188|Lombre Larceny]]'', where he leads Shelly, Matt, and {{adv|Amber}} in stealing the heart component for the Submarine Explorer 1. Although the three succeed in their mission, Archie berates them for not finishing off {{adv|Sapphire}}, [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby, and Ty]], who had seen the entire incident. Despite this, he promotes the three to admin status and names the [[Aqua Admin (Trainer class)#In the manga|Subleaders of the Sea Scheme]].

After Team Aqua manages to successfully stop the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney, Archie is attacked by Maxie. Maxie furiously blames Team Aqua for their propaganda and challenges Archie to a battle. Archie agrees, but the battle ends in a tie despite Archie's type advantage. The two leaders stop fighting after realizing that neither team will accomplish their goals when each has an important piece required to awaken their respective super-ancient Pokémon rests. They decide that the best option is a temporary truce so that both teams will head to the Seafloor Cavern together. When Team Aqua and Magma meet, they fit the Submarine Explorer 1 with its heart component and head underwater.

Upon arriving, the teams end their truce and proceed to head their separate ways. Archie manages to awaken Kyogre first, giving the advantage to Team Aqua. Despite this, Kyogre stops moving from where it emerged while Groudon continues expanding its influence over the Hoenn region. Finding this suspicious, Archie assumes it's the work of Maxie and sends Amber to investigate. Amber heads over and discovers that Team Magma secretly had the Red and Blue Orbs, two jewels that can control Groudon and Kyogre. Amber attacks Tabitha and steals the Blue Orbs for Archie. Although Amber asks his leader for help, Archie instead locks the two inside the Submarine Explorer 1 and sends it to the bottom of the sea without the heart component needed to survive the undersea pressure. With the Blue Orb now in his possession, Archie begins to use it to control Kyogre.

[[File:Archie ORAS chapter.png|thumb|left|130px|Archie in the thirteenth chapter]]
The power of the Red and Blue Orbs proves to be too much for Archie and Maxie, who are later possessed by Kyogre and Groudon instead. The two are confronted by {{adv|Ruby}} and Sapphire, who had arrived to defeat the two villains. Ruby and Sapphire begin battling Archie and Maxie, but note their behavior to be strange. Despite this, Ruby and Sapphire manage to stop Archie and Maxie's movements, leaving them enough time to remove the Orbs from their hands. When Ruby attempts to remove the Orbs from Archie and Maxie, he notices that the Orbs are now stuck to the leaders' hands. The Orbs recede into Archie and Maxie's bodies, fully putting them under the control of Kyogre and Groudon. With their new power, Archie and Maxie take Ruby, Sapphire, and all the Team Aqua and Magma Grunts back to the surface.

They fly to Sootopolis City, where Kyogre and Groudon had gone to finish their battle. The two leaders begin fighting together their respective super-ancient Pokémon. Archie and Maxie are finally defeated when Ruby and Sapphire use a piece of the Grand Meteor combined with their Pokémon's attacks to force the Red and Blue Orbs out of Archie and Maxie's bodies. The plan works, but it causes the Orbs to move to Ruby and Sapphire's bodies and creates an explosion that sends them flying.

Sometime later, Ruby returns and teams up with [[Courtney]] to stop Kyogre and Groudon once and for all. Their plan fails, and a hidden Archie kills Courtney by dragging her into a collapsing Cave of Origin. After Kyogre and Groudon are successfully defeated with the assistance of {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} and [[Norman]], Archie and Maxie reveal themselves and attempt to kill Ruby to take back the Orbs and awaken Kyogre and Groudon again. They are approached by the Champion [[Wallace]], who attacks the two leaders to rescue Ruby. Wallace is forced to give up when Archie and Maxie reveal they are keeping [[Winona]] hostage, leaving him open to be attacked and defeated.

Victorious, Archie and Maxie gloat over the heroes' defeat only to be interrupted by the appearance of Ruby's {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Feefee attempts to stop Archie and Maxie, but is easily swatted away. Archie and Maxie begin beating Feefee and insult her ragged appearance. Seeing this angers Ruby, who states that Feefee possesses beauty on the inside even if her outside is ugly. This change in hear allows Feefee to evolve into a {{p|Milotic}}. Ruby and Feefee team up with Sapphire to battle and finally defeat Archie and Maxie's Pokémon. Archie and Maxie still refuse to give up and escape with the Orbs in Wallace's aircar. By powering up their {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} with the New Mauville generator, Ruby and Sapphire finish Archie and Maxie off by trapping them in a dome of electricity.

====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
It is revealed that Archie and Maxie were rescued from the electrical sphere by [[Sird]]. Sird reveals that Archie and Maxie's bodies are breaking down due to the effect of letting Kyogre and Groudon possess them. She offers a suit of armor to one of the villains that can slow down the process of their decaying, but only to whomever defeats the other in battle. Archie manages to defeat Maxie and wins the armor, this becoming the armored man, [[Guile Hideout]].

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Archie is revealed to still be alive. Along with Maxie, Archie travels to the Kanto region, where they find {{adv|Bill}}, who had obtained the shattered remains of the Red and Blue Orbs from Team Rocket in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. They attack Bill and steal the shards from him, which have now regenerated back into their original forms as Orbs. They steal Bill's boat and use it to travel back to the Hoenn region. Upon arriving, Archie and Maxie are approached by {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}}, two Kanto Pokédex holders that are friends with Bill. Red and Green attack Maxie and Archie to avenge their injured friend and retrieve the stolen Orbs. To combat their opponents, Archie and Maxie reveal they have learned to use Mega Evolution and use it to face the two Pokédex holders, who counter with their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

The battle is interrupted by Amber and [[Blaise]]. Although Blaise finds the new appearance of their leaders suspicious, Amber reveals that they summoned Kyogre and Groudon from their resting places with the power of {{p|Hoopa}}. Immediately after, Kyogre and Groudon appear, having followed the presence of the Orbs. Archie and Maxie use the Orbs to revert Kyogre and Groudon into their Primal forms, greatly increasing their power to the point where they easily defeat Red and Green. Kyogre and Groudon's rampage is interrupted by Ruby and {{adv|Emerald}}, who attempt to fight the super-ancient Pokémon but are unable to damage them. Archie and Maxie use Kyogre and Groudon to easily blast Ruby and Emerald out of the sky, easily defeating them. With their opponents on the ground, Archie and Maxie gloat over their victory and reveal that their return is all for the sake of saving the planet from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy it.

Later, at the [[Meteor Village]], Archie trains alongside Maxie in order to teach Kyogre {{m|Origin Pulse}}. They were given a training space by the village {{OBP|Elder|Meteor Village}}, who agreed to help in their attempt to stop the meteoroid. After a day, Archie and Maxie finish their training and exit their training space. Just as they do so, Rayquaza sees Kyogre and Groudon through Hoopa's ring and attempts to attack by flying towards the ring. The experience scares Hoopa, causing it to accidentally send Rayquaza to another ring connecting the village to {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. Archie and Maxie chase after Rayquaza and arrive at Route 120 by forcing their way through Hoopa's ring. They decide to test the moves Kyogre and Groudon learned on Rayquaza, but are interrupted by chunks of the meteoroid falling down on them. To destroy the chunks, Archie, Maxie, Ruby, and Sapphire combine the powers of Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon and Rayquaza into a single attack.

As the three super-ancient Pokémon's attack struggles to destroy the meteoroid chunk, Archie and Maxie's bodies run out of energy and begin to break down. The combined attack eventually breaks the meteoroid chunk into pieces, which fall onto Kyogre and Groudon, knocking them out. After watching from afar, Amber and Blaise go down to see if their leaders are safe, only to find them both in the process of fading away. Archie and Maxie explain to the two that after their "deaths", their spirits ended up in [[Distortion World|another world]], where they at one point melded together and became one. After a [[PS460|hole]] to the real world was opened, an unknown voice called out to them, asking to protect the planet. After escaping from the world, they regained their bodies, albeit slightly different, gained Mega Evolution, and stole the orbs from Bill in order to save the planet from destruction. Just as they disappear completely, Archie and Maxie ask their subordinates to protect the planet.

====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Archie was briefly seen when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the past accomplishments of the [[Pokédex holder]]s.

Although the Pokédex holders fought with powerful moves, Walrein and Camerupt emerged the victors, but left their Trainers open to be attacked. At Sootopolis City, Archie sent out Walrein to battle Mumu and Chic once again. This time, Walrein was defeated by a combination of {{m|Sky Uppercut}} and {{m|Muddy Water}}. Afterward, Archie sent out four more Walrein to distract Ruby and Sapphire while he and Maxie escaped. One is level 69, has a Lonely nature, and his [[Characteristic]] is "very finicky."

With the power of the Orbs and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, Kyogre goes back to the Seafloor Cavern to return to its slumber. In the thirteenth chapter, Kyogre is awakened from its slumber by {{p|Hoopa}}, who was manipulated by [[Blaise]] and Amber to summon the super-ancient Pokémon so they can achieve Primal Reversion.

==Trivia==
[[File:Archie lookalike Legends.png|thumb|250px|A portrait of the man who resembles Archie in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]]]
* In {{game|Emerald}}, the {{player}} battles Archie only once, while [[Maxie]] is fought three times.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Archie's height is 5'9" (1.75m); the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official Hoenn Region Strategy Guide|guide]] that contains his concept art mistakenly says he is 5'7" (1.7m).
* Some of Archie's lines in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] are the same as [[Maxie]]'s lines in Pokémon Ruby.
* Pokémon Sapphire contains [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|unused Trainer data]] for Archie in which he has only a level 17 {{p|Huntail}} and a level 17 {{p|Sharpedo}} and is carrying two [[Super Potion]]s.
* In Omega Ruby, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} at the [[Team Magma Hideout]] mentions that Archie and Maxie used to be on the same team once.
* In Alpha Sapphire, [[Shelly]]'s room at the [[Team Aqua Hideout]] contains a picture of Archie and Shelly as children with {{p|Jirachi}}, making Archie the only villainous team leader known to have met a [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Although Archie in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} is based on his design in [[Generation III]], his dialogue is based on his quotes in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* A portrait of a man who resembles Archie and wears [[Pearl Clan]] garb is found within houses at the [[Pearl Settlement]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] and the [[Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. The relationship between the two, if any, is unknown.
** The man who resembles Archie is said to represent the sea by the portrait's description in the Lumiose Museum.

'''Melony''' (Japanese: '''メロン''' ''Melon'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Circhester]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as [[Circhester Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Ice}} to Trainers who defeat her. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], her son, [[Gordie]], takes her place as Circhester's Gym Leader instead.

==In the core series games==
Melony is the sixth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in Pokémon Shield. She has been the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]] since her twenties. She is also the only known Gym Leader to have ever defeated [[Raihan]], who is said to be the strongest Gym Leader in the [[Galar League]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/ice-type-gym-leader-melony/</ref> At one point, she wanted her son [[Gordie]] to run the [[Circhester Stadium|Gym]] as her successor. However, her son wanted to be a {{type|Rock}} user instead. This led to a {{pkmn|battle}} that caused the whole town to split, with the two never speaking to each other again. Despite this, Melony somehow became the first member of Gordie's fan club.

While normally generous and bighearted, she loves to battle hard, along with hitting the opponent's weak spot with unflinching accuracy. Her battle style is described as severe and stoic. It is believed her harsh battle style was influenced by the fight she had with her son. Melony's Gym is considered a major roadblock by many Gym Challengers who visit it, the reason being the powerful {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s having been trained by her strict and very effective coaching.

After Melony's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the {{badge|Ice}}, {{TM|27|Icy Wind}}, and the [[List of clothing in Pokémon Sword and Shield|Ice Uniform]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Melony's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Melony has been a [[Gym Leader]] since she was in her twenties. She is also known as a very effective coach, but her coaching style is incredibly strict. Her battle style is fittingly severe and stoic, as well. Any {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s who manage to remain under Melony are sure to be powerful opponents. Thus many see [[Circhester Stadium]] as a major roadblock for Gym Challengers. Many quietly speculate that Melony's harsh battle style is due to a fight she had with [[Gordie|her son]]."
;Rare League Card
:"Melony wanted Gordie to take over as the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]], while Gordie wanted to dedicate himself to {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. The [[Pokémon battle]] between the two ended up dividing the whole town. Ever since that day, Melony and Gordie hardly ever see each other. That being said, Melony supposedly managed to become the first member of Gordie's fan club. Gordie seems to have a complicated expression in their photo together, but then again, that may just be one's own imagination..."

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

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

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Melony Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Melony in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Melony debuted in ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]''. Unlike the games, she and [[Gordie]] share the [[Circhester Stadium]] and alternate who acts as its Gym Leader. She was first seen talking to [[Bea]] on the phone about [[Bede]]'s forced withdrawal from the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]].

In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', Melony met [[Henry Sword]], [[Casey Shield]], and [[Marvin]] in [[Circhester]]. She asked Henry to repair an ice cane belonging to her {{p|Mr. Rime}}. Once the cane was fixed, Melony recalled how she caught Mr. Rime, revealing that she was responsible for the cane breaking in the first place. When Henry admitted he hadn't fully completed the repairs, Melony suggested he keep Mr. Rime, noting that it preferred Henry's company more. Afterward, Melony faced Henry and [[Hop]] in Gym battles, which she lost.

In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Galar Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out if [[Rose]] intended on bringing harm to the region. While [[Oleana]] kept the Gym Leaders busy, Henry, Casey, Bede, Hop, and [[Marnie]] went up to meet Rose, only find he was elsewhere. On a video screen, Rose announced his intention to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. While some went back to their hometowns to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon, Melony traveled with the others to the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]]. Upon arriving and meeting with [[Leon]]'s group and found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In ''[[PASS27|Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan]]'', Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent Sordward and Shielbert to defeat {{p|Eternatus}} and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite their claims of being descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, Sordward and Shielbert were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana explained that Rose's actions were for the benefit of Galar and requested that everyone help stop Eternatus. The group agreed and made their way to the summit, where they found Rose had already been defeated. By teaming up, Melony, [[Piers]], Leon, Hop, [[Nessa]], [[Marnie]], and [[Raihan]] managed to take Eternatus down, only for it to get back up and unleash its Eternamax form.

In ''[[PASS29|GRRR!! The Irrepairable Gears]]'', Eternatus quickly overwhelmed Melony and the others, only for {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to appear and assist in the battle against the Gigantic Pokémon. They attempted to wield the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]], but the items and Henry were snatched out of the air by Eternatus. Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus at the same time, creating a massive blast of light. By the time the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had vanished. Melony and everyone injured during the battle were taken to a hospital to recover from the effects of Eternatus's poison.

In ''[[PASS35|Bom Bom!! Kubfu and Intense Training]]'', after taking special medicine, Melony and the others began to recover from the effects of the poison. By ''[[PASS40|Rumble!! The Darkest Day Returns]]'', everyone had fully recovered from the poison and were discharged from the hospital. After traveling to the [[Isle of Armor]] and reuniting with Casey's group, Melony and Bea chose to stay behind and help fight off the Darkest Day, which had begun once again.

* Melony's uniform number is "361", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Numeric substitution in Japanese|goroawase}} for 寒い ''samui'', meaning "cold".
* Melony's Pokémon League sponsor is Northern Delights.
* [[Gordie]] and Melony's Gym battle Pokémon teams mirror each other, featuring the same types. Both Gym Leaders use mono-typed Pokémon of their speciality, as well as a {{t|Bug}} type, a {{t|Water}} type, and a {{t|Fire}} type.
* Melony's name and design (particularly her hair color and shape) might be based on the {{wp|Wax gourd|winter melon}}. "Winter" is conceptually reflected by her {{t|Ice}} typing, while "melon"/"gourd" creates a shared theme with her son Gordie.

'''Madame Muchmoney's Granbull''' (Japanese: '''カネヨのグランブル''' ''Kaneyo's Granbulu'') is a runaway {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which appeared multiple times in {{aniseries|GS}}, primarily when she was a {{p|Snubbull}}. She is distinguished by two red bows she wears on her ears.

==History==
[[File:Meowth and Snubbull.png|thumb|left|220px|Snubbull's habit of biting Meowth's tail]]
Snubbull first appeared in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'', where she was holding on to a Growlithe's tail.

It was revealed that Snubbull was in the possession of a rich woman named [[Madame Muchmoney]], engaged to another Snubbull named Winthrop. She was not happy with her life of luxury, and preferred playing to pampering and {{an|Brock}}'s [[rice ball]]s to gourmet food. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} helped Madame Muchmoney to realize this, and so she started making changes just for the sake of Snubbull's happiness.

However, Snubbull still felt something missing from her life, specifically {{MTR}}'s tail, which she loved to bite down on. Thus, Snubbull ran away from home to follow {{TRT}}. Snubbull reappeared in ''[[EP135|Grin to Win!]]'' where she revealed Meowth when he was in disguise as a Sunflora. Snubbull made some appearances in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' where she was walking around [[Palmpona]].
[[File:Madame Muchmoney and Granbull.png|thumb|220px|left|Granbull and Madame Muchmoney]]
In ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', Snubbull took {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s marker, forcing Ash and his friends to get it back.

In ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', Snubbull was injured by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mankey}} when she confused its tail for Meowth's. Madame Muchmoney found her and took her to the [[Pokémon Center]], but Snubbull left to find Meowth once she got the all-clear. After [[Evolution|evolving]] into a {{p|Granbull}}, she bit on the tail of a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant Meowth-shaped mecha]], when Team Rocket thought there might be a reward for finding Granbull. When Granbull refused to let go of the mecha's tail, Ash and his friends mistakenly believed Meowth's failed attempts to shock and shake her off the mecha were a trick on Team Rocket's behalf.

Meowth accidentally launched the tail missile with Granbull still holding on, but Madame Muchmoney caught her. When Granbull finally let go, Madame Muchmoney and Granbull fought Team Rocket together. After dodging the mecha's rocket glove attacks, Granbull broke the TV monitor with {{m|Dynamic Punch}}, leaving Meowth unable to see which way he was going. After {{AP|Pikachu}} blasted off Team Rocket, Madame Muchmoney and Granbull raced home on foot. This also resulted in Granbull no longer following Team Rocket.

Granbull, as a Snubbull, also appeared in [[OK!]] and [[Pokémon Johto]], the first opening themes for the Japanese and English dubs of the [[Johto]] saga respectively.

==Personality and characteristics==
Granbull, as both a Snubbull and Granbull, has a huge interest in grabbing tails, mostly Meowth's. Due to this interest, she left Madame Muchmoney's mansion and followed Team Rocket so she could continue biting Meowth's tail.

'''Madame Muchmoney''' (Japanese: '''カネヨ''' ''Kaneyo'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|GS}}. Her {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}} ran away from her and followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} as well as {{MTR}} though [[Johto]], and returned to her after [[Evolution|evolving]] in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]''.

Madame Muchmoney is a wealthy socialite who lives in a [[Palm Hills]] mansion. She has a private chef named [[Jacques]], and three butlers, including [[Jeeves]].

==In animation==
===History===
Madame Muchmoney first appeared in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]''. She invited {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} into her 86-room mansion in [[Palm Hills]] to thank them for finding her {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}}. {{an|Brock}} became aware of Snubbull's unhappiness as he and the group enjoyed a guided tour of Madame Muchmoney's mansion. Ash and his friends became concerned after Madame Muchmoney admitted that she was marrying her Snubbull off to another, called Winthrop Snubbullfeller. {{TRT}} later kidnapped Snubbull, who went on to defeat the trio, and with the help of [[Ash's Heracross]], they were sent flying. After seeing her Snubbull's battling skills, Madame Muchmoney vowed to allow her Pokémon more freedom and enjoy the outdoors. She thanks Ash and his friends for all that they taught her about Snubbull and wished them well on their journey.

Madame Muchmoney appeared again in a flashback in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', after Ash and his friends stumbled upon Snubbull near [[Onix Tunnel]].

The group re-encountered Madame Muchmoney and her butler [[Jeeves]] in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]''. Madame Muchmoney revealed that she had set off on a journey in a desperate bid to find Snubbull. Noticing her new muscles, Brock believed her strength meant that she would also be a strong [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a powerful role model for Snubbull. Eventually, Madame Muchmoney found Snubbull injured from a {{p|Mankey}} attack. Snubbull was taken to a nearby [[Pokémon Center]], but left again to find {{MTR}} after recovering. Madame Muchmoney discovered Snubbull, who by that point had evolved into a {{p|Granbull}}; it was biting on the tail of a [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth-shaped mecha]] operated by Team Rocket.

When Granbull refused to let go, Meowth's attempts to shake her off to get a reward were mistaken for a trick on Madame Muchmoney. Meowth accidentally launched the tail missile with Granbull still holding on, but Madame Muchmoney caught her. When Granbull finally let go, Madame Muchmoney and Granbull fought Team Rocket's robot together, breaking the TV monitor inside with a {{m|Dynamic Punch}} attack. After {{AP|Pikachu}} blasted off Team Rocket, Madame Muchmoney and Granbull raced home on foot, believing that they would now make a great combination.

===Character===
Madame Muchmoney loved and cared for her {{p|Snubbull}}, but she didn't realize that she was suffocating her by providing her with all the things she loved, when her Snubbull truly desired some liberty. She doesn't like the outdoors because of the harsh sunlight and dirt, and has continued to invest in the expansion of her sprawling mansion to ensure Snubbull never has to venture outside. She has many rooms dedicated to Snubbull, including an exercise area, hot spring bath, several bedrooms, and a walk-in wardrobe. In an effort to make her happy, she prearranged a marriage with another Snubbull [[nickname]]d Winthrop Snubbullfeller. However, this only made Snubbull more angry, and she ran away shortly afterwards. However, after hearing {{an|Brock}}'s input, and seeing her Pokémon {{pkmn|battle}} {{TRT}}, she allowed Snubbull to gain some independence and enjoy a more outdoor-oriented lifestyle.

When they encountered her again, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were shocked by her drastic change in appearance. Madame Muchmoney swapped her gold bead necklace for a white {{wp|neckerchief}}, and she proudly wore a torn red dress. She displays a newfound strength after spending some time in the elements to search for Snubbull. Meanwhile, she continues to invest millions in her mansion to turn the gardens into a Pokémon wildlife park for Snubbull to enjoy. Her latest appearance in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'' also showcased her immense personal development, where she commanded her [[Evolution|newly evolved]] {{p|Granbull}} to defeat Team Rocket.

Throughout her appearances, Madame Muchmoney maintained a polite and friendly composure. She has since stopped making cute nicknames for her Pokémon and looks forward to a more active relationship with Granbull.
