'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{fd|Terapagos|three forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''', and a unique {{type|Stellar}} [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|Terastallized state]] referred to as its '''Stellar Form'''. At the start of a {{pkmn|battle}}, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its {{a|Tera Shift}} [[Ability]], and transforms into its Stellar Form upon {{Tera}}stallizing.

Terastal Form {{Ga|Terapagos}} is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Indigo Disk]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. Another [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] plays an important role in {{aniseries|HZ}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Terapagos energy shield.png|thumb|left|250px|Terapagos's protective barrier]]
Terapagos is a {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, turtle-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an indigo body and strong crystalline motifs present in all of its forms. Each of its forms incorporates Terastal imagery, including hexagonal geometry, star symbolism, and a prominent cyan or light blue gem connected to its shell. Its eyes are consistently light blue with four-pointed, star-shaped pupils, often accented by glowing highlights. Diamond- or rhombus-like shapes recur across its design, whether as markings, jewelry-like protrusions, or crystalline growths. As Terapagos transitions into its higher forms, its physical presence becomes increasingly luminous and gem-like, emphasizing its connection to Terastal and Stellar energy.

Terapagos is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. It inhabited the [[Paldea]] [[region]] in a bygone era and was thought that this species went extinct, with it said to have been caught up in seismic shifts that occurred about 2,000,000 years ago. However, {{ga|Terapagos|one specimen}} managed to survive by crystallizing its own body and going into hibernation in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], where it laid low until the present day.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_normal_form/ Normal Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> According to [[Briar]], it is made of [[Terastal energy]]. With the power of its crystals, it can {{m|Tera Starstorm|bombard its foes with star-shaped projectiles}}. Terapagos can alter timelines in some capacity, as seen in the [[core series]] games and {{pkmn|animated series}}. An example of this is it being capable of using [[Crystal Cluster|crystals]] such as the ones from the [[Crystal Pool]] to bring [[human]]s and objects forward from other points in time<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"[...] It sends [[Poké Ball]]s to a different point on the timeline to catch Pokémon there, and it can then draw them back here to the present."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref> as seen with [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, who hadn't yet finished their time machine,<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> and [[Rystal]], who lived 100 years in the past. While using this ability, a mist appears around the affected area; once it disappears, whatever was brought is sent back.

As depicted in several {{aniseries|HZ}} episodes, Terapagos can also create visions of its own memories and even of other people's. Due to the Terastal energy its body produces, Terapagos was responsible for allowing advanced technologies to exist in spite of human limitations. These include [[Tera Orb]]s, the professor's AI duplicate, and a [[time machine]] that summons [[Paradox Pokémon]] from different points in time or even from other [[Pokémon multiverse|timelines]]. Tera Orbs directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos will become able to Terastallize Pokémon without the need to recharge.<ref>[[Briar]]: ''"[...] I think it might be because your [[Tera Orb|orbs]] were directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos. [[Kieran]] and [[Carmine]] say that ever since the underdepths, they've been able to {{Tera}}stallize their Pokémon without charging their Tera Orbs."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> Terapagos also has a strong connection to the {{Type|Stellar}}.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/stellar_tera_type/ Master the Stellar Tera Type—the 19th Tera Type! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', [[Spinel]] comes to the conclusion that Terapagos and [[Laquium]] are opposite forces. In ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', it was shown absorbing the energy of the [[Tera Shard|Tera crystal]]s around Area Zero to power up. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', it was also shown drawing power from its allies into itself to enhance its abilities. As shown in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', {{p|Sableye}}, who feed on gemstones and crystals, seem to be interested in Terapagos's crystalline body.

[[Heath]] is the one who discovered Terapagos and coined its name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the chapter "A Disk Pokémon?" of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref> Eventually, the public saw his findings as too fantastical to possibly be real, but Heath's descendant, Briar proved its existence by writing her first book: ''[[Briar's Book|The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]'', which details the expedition she, the [[Player character|player]], [[Kieran]], and [[Carmine]] made in Area Zero Underdepths.

Terapagos is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tera Starstorm}}.

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form.

</div>

====Normal Form====
[[File:Terapagos dormant state artwork.png|thumb|left|130px|Terapagos in its dormant state]]
Normal Form Terapagos is small in stature and has clearly defined legs, feet, and a tail. Its cyan hexagonal shell is compact and bears a simple Terastal symbol on its back. Cyan four-pointed stars with ring-like markings appear on its neck, legs, and tail tip. Its feet have three toes each. It possesses diamond-shaped ornaments, including a pattern on its forehead, two dangling diamond-shaped earrings, and a segmented, diamond-like ponytail that tapers in size and shifts toward a purplish hue near the end.

{{spoilers}}
Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and particularly weak Pokémon; for that reason, it can assume a dormant state whenever its life is put in danger or it needs to hibernate, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size, which makes itself look like an ordinary jewel.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It can also crystallize the energy in its own body to form a green, protective barrier around itself if necessary, even in its dormant state. Through this same power, Terapagos causes glowing, hard crystals to form around it, even in its dormant state, which gave [[Area Zero]] its distinctive appearance.

As depicted in {{aniseries|HZ}}, like other turtles, [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] is unable to move if it is turned upside down, needing outside help to stand back up. It has shown to have an incredibly long lifespan, with one known to have lived for millions of years, at least during its slumber within its shell. As shown in [[HZ132]], Normal Form Terapagos is capable of sharing its Terastal energy in the form of an orb with other Pokémon, allowing them to Terastallize.{{left clear}}

Normal Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shift}} as its [[Ability]].

====Terastal Form====
[[File:Terapagos Terastal Back.png|thumb|right|200px|The type icons morphing on Terastal Form Terapagos's shell]]
Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles an indigo {{wp|sea turtle}}. It has thick, voluminous fur that forms a mane around its head and three tail-like masses at its rear, varying in color from greenish yellow to sky blue and glowing brightly in dark environments. Its hind legs are entirely concealed by fur, while only the tips of its front toes remain visible, rendering it unable to walk and requiring it to float instead. The shell transforms into a complex structure composed of eighteen irregular pentagons, each bearing a shifting symbol representing one of the eighteen types. Additional solid light-blue pentagons appear along the shell's rim. Its former earrings and ponytail are no longer distinct, having merged into the structure of its head.
[[File:Terastal Terapagos using Water Pulse.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Terastal Form Terapagos using {{m|Water Pulse}}]]
Normal Form Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|can absorb the energy around itself}} when it is either in danger or about to {{pkmn|battle}}, thus transforming into its Terastal Form. Its shell is composed of crystallized Terastal energy and holds the power of every type, allowing it to {{a|Tera Shell|distort type matchups}} and render [[move]]s as not very effective.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_terastal_form/ Terastal Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> Its shell then absorbs the move's energy and transfers it back to Terapagos. When using certain [[special move]]s, Terapagos withdraws its hands and head into its shell, shapes its mane in a way it resembles its three tails, and flies up to fire the move from the gem in the center of its shell. As seen in [[HZ064|''The Approaching Shadow!'']], due to being opposites, in this form, Terapagos can purify [[Laquium]] by absorbing its mist and destroying the crystal itself, which reverts its effects on Pokémon as a result. As shown in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', it is capable of sharing its Terastal energy in the form of an orb with other Pokémon, allowing them to Terastallize, but forcing itself back to its Normal Form. In this form, it is known as "the Indigo Disk" due to its indigo coloration and disk-shaped shell.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shell}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}

====Stellar Form====
[[File:Stellar Terapagos using Meteor Beam.png|thumb|right|200px|Stellar Form Terapagos while using {{m|Meteor Beam}}]]
Stellar Form Terapagos looks just like its Terastal Form, but now enveloped in a radiant, rainbow-colored aura and floating above a massive indigo crystal dome patterned with overlapping hexagons. Beneath the dome are four crystal formations arranged like turtle legs. Atop its central shell gem lies a Stellar-type Tera Jewel, a white crown with a base surrounded by diamonds, each colored after one of the eighteen other types, topped by crystal statue in the shape of Normal Form Terapagos, with a pair of angry-looking eyes on its face, topped by the symbol of the Terastal phenomenon—a dark blue hexagon with triangular extensions on each corner. Eighteen hexagonal gems, each displaying a type icon and color, orbit the dome continuously. All shell icons shift to cyan coloration in this form.

When exposed to a [[Tera Orb]], Terapagos will {{Tera}}stallize and become {{type|Stellar}}, thus morphing into its Stellar Form.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_stellar_form/ Stellar Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> However, in {{aniseries|HZ}}, it has been shown to be able to transform without the need of a Tera Orb. This form is said to resemble the world as the ancients saw it, supposedly due to the dome beneath it. Meanwhile, in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, [[Heath]] describes it as an entity, unsure if it is a Pokémon or even a living being, though he claims that viewed as a whole, it resembles a mysterious, brilliant disk, and even looks like a planet floating in space. Its Terastal energy becomes so abnormally amplified that it actually appears to lose control and lash out due to its energy output. Due to having so much power, Stellar Form Terapagos may cause cracks around it during its transformation and even risks wreaking havoc to [[Paldea]]'s ecosystem. While in this form, it was shown to resist being {{pkmn2|caught}} by a [[Master Ball]], destroying it in the process. Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of absorbing [[Terastal energy]] from other Terastallized Pokémon, reverting them back to normal; however, it is unable to repeatedly do this. It can also create Tera Shields around itself which can only be broken by Terastallized Pokémon. It can even use the power of the Terastal phenomenon to change its type mid-battle. The hidden powers within Stellar Form Terapagos are capable of {{a|Teraform Zero|reducing to zero}} all effects of [[weather]] and [[terrain]]. It has shown to be capable of shooting huge beams of pure Terastal energy at its foes. When using certain [[special move]]s, Terapagos will use all of its hexagonal gems in a certain formation to fire the move from it. As revealed by [[Briar]] in ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'', Terapagos is capable of resonating with other Pokémon, specifically with their {{Tera|Tera Type}}s, which grants it more power. Resonating with 18 Pokémon, each possessing one of the 18 known Tera Types allows Terapagos to use its full power. This, however, will drain away its power, forcing it into hibernation. As shown in [[HZ135]], Terapagos is capable of Terastalizing up to 18 Pokémon at the same time in this form. In this form, it is referred to as a "Disk Pokémon" because of its disk-shaped shell, as well as "the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" due to being considered a secret treasure sought by the Paldean empire 2,000 years ago.

Stellar Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Teraform Zero}} as an [[Ability]].

Outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, Terapagos is always in its Normal Form. When it enters a battle for the first time, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Tera Shift}} and will never change back to Normal Form until the battle ends, even if it [[faint]]s. As a result, its Normal Form cannot legitimately be used in a battle. Terastal Form Terapagos also has Tera Shift replaced by its other signature Ability {{a|Tera Shell}}. If Terapagos {{Tera}}stallizes during a battle, it transforms into its Stellar Form, adding its third signature Ability, {{a|Teraform Zero}}. Its [[signature move]] {{m|Tera Starstorm}} also changes from {{t|Normal}}- to {{type|Stellar}} and targets both opponents in a [[Double Battle]].

Since the other two forms have higher base HP stats, Terapagos's maximum HP will increase and its current HP will be revised to its new maximum HP minus the amount of HP it had lost before changing form.

Terapagos has a unique form change animation when changing from its Normal Form to its Terastal Form that shows it glowing and rising into the air before its form changes.

Terapagos's {{Tera|Tera Type}} is always {{t|Stellar}} and cannot be changed at the [[Treasure Eatery]].

===Main series===
[[File:Pagogo Terastal Form.png|thumb|250px|Terastal Form Terapagos in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Pagogo]]=====
Pagogo debuted in its dormant state in the form of a pendant in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. Though it briefly assumed its Normal Form in the [[HZ002|next episode]], it only awekened and started traveling with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]''. It first appeared in its Terastal Form in ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]].'' Although it first appeared in its Stellar Form during a flashback in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', it only properly appeared in [[HZ089|''Where the Adventure Leads'']]. It was originally [[Rystal]]'s Pokémon, but was {{pkmn2|released}} once she passed away and later {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Liko]]. It was released again in [[HZ136]] to heal [[Laqua]] back to its original state.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', a Normal Form Terapagos was shown in a flashback narrated by [[Briar]], where she recounted her ancestor [[Heath]]'s first encounter with the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Area Zero]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|A sketch of Stellar Form Terapagos in the Scarlet/Violet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of its Stellar Form appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, drawn by [[Heath]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Terapagos is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose [[base stat]] total changes upon {{Tera}}stallizing.
* Normal Form Terapagos is tied with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Shroodle}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon to have three [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]], the most out of any Pokémon.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon with an [[EV yield]] total of more than three, with its Terastal Form having a total of four.
** Terapagos is also the only Pokémon with a different [[EV]] yield total between each of its forms, with Normal having one, Terastal having four, and Stellar having three.
* While Terapagos as a species has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|50-50 gender ratio]], the only Terapagos encounter in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is set to always be male. Because of this, a female Terapagos cannot currently be legitimately obtained.
* Terapagos has several similarities to {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Each is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] responsible for the special type of transformation found within its [[region]] of origin: {{Tera}}stallization for Terapagos in [[Paldea]], and [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] for Eternatus in [[Galar]].
** According to their legends, each entered a state of dormancy sometime in the distant past.
** They were introduced in games that would receive [[Downloadable content|DLC]], as well as games whose [[game mascot]]s comprise a [[Legendary duo]].
** They share similar traits regarding their [[form]]s.
*** Both have an exclusive form that increases their [[base stats]]: {{form|Eternatus|Eternamax}} and Stellar Form.
*** Both can absorb the energy related to their respective phenomena from other Pokémon, rendering them unavailable: [[Terastal energy]] and [[Galar particles]], respectively.
*** Both have a form that cannot be used by the {{player}} but has programmed stats: Normal Form Terapagos and Eternamax Eternatus.
** In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Stellar Form Terapagos is animated with 3D animation rather than 2D, making it the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to use 3D animation, with the first being {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} in {{aniseries|JN}}.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that is able to learn [[move]]s through [[TM]]s, but not {{m|Tera Blast}}.
* Despite being the source of the Terastal phenomenon, which contains the power of every [[type]], Terapagos cannot learn any {{t|Ghost}}- or {{type|Flying}} moves, nor can it learn {{m|Tera Blast}}.
* During an {{DL|Let's Go!|Auto Battle}}, Terapagos will transform into its Terastal Form before defeating a [[wild Pokémon]], and then switch back to its Normal Form.
* Terapagos cannot have its {{Tera|Tera Type}} be changed under normal circumstances in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. If [[Cheating|the game is modified]] to force Terapagos to have a different Tera Type, the game will lag significantly while Terastallizing; however, unlike with {{p|Ogerpon}}, the game will not {{DL|Game freeze|Softlocking|softlock}}. {{a|Illusion}} will also not work if either Terapagos or the Pokémon with the [[Ability]] Terastallizes.
* Terapagos's [[cry]] is almost identical to the sound that is made when a Pokémon Terastallizes.
** The cry also incorporates the leitmotif commonly associated in-game with [[Area Zero]], Terapagos's habitat. It is more easily distinguished when the cry is played at slower speed.
* One of Stellar Form Terapagos's attack animations has it use the 18 hexagonal gems orbiting its dome to form a symbol and shoot the attack from it. This symbol is the same one featured in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]'s logo.

* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (from 古代亀 ''kodaikame'', literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>
** This mirrors its internal name from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where Terapagos is also referred to as "kodaikame".

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It, especially in its Normal Form, may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}; in particular, it may be inspired by {{wp|Lonesome George}}, the last {{wp|Pinta Island tortoise}} (a subspecies of Galápagos tortoise), as Terapagos is said to be extinct aside from a lone male survivor.

Terapagos may be inspired by the rainbow-shelled turtle from the Japanese folktale about a fisherman named {{wp|Urashima Tarō}}. In the story, this turtle carries Tarō to the Dragon Palace beneath the sea, a detail that may be reflected by the concept of the mostly underwater [[Blueberry Academy]] (the main setting of [[The Indigo Disk]], in which Terapagos was introduced). Additionally, the story ends with the fisherman aging rapidly into an old man with long white hair, similar to how Terapagos changes form when it enters battle.

The Terastal Form's hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}. Terapagos, especially in its Stellar Form, may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. This connection is furthered by the Stellar Form's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], which state that it resembles "the world as the ancients saw it" and "a planet floating in space". By extension, Terapagos's Stellar Form may be a reference to the expression "{{wp|turtles all the way down}}", as it has a crystal in the shape of its Normal Form above its shell, and it floats on top of a larger dome shaped like a tortoise shell. The expression "turtles all the way down" refers to the idea that the World Turtle rests on the back of a larger turtle, and that turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, and so on.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons and could be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}. Terapagos's crystalline composition may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''{{Tera}}stal'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

One of Misty's water Pokémon is in desperate need of exercise, so the gang decides to take her Horsea to a gym that's run by her sisters in Cerulean City. But, Misty gets more than she bargains for when she learns that her sisters are planning an exciting underwater ballet.

==Plot==
While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to [[Viridian City]], [[Misty's Horsea]] looks ill as it swims in a fountain. {{an|Brock}} suggests that it needs to find a bigger pool to swim in, and so, the gang decides to head for {{an|Misty}}'s home town, [[Cerulean City]]. When they get there, they discover that [[Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] at the [[Cerulean Gym]] are having trouble attracting crowds to their performances and have advertised Misty to be in a new performance called the Underwater Ballet. Misty is reluctant to be a part of this at first and shocked to learn that the first performance is tomorrow. She finally agrees after a lot of begging from her sisters alongside Ash and Brock's encouragement. They then celebrate after convincing their little sister to do what they want, much to Misty's frustration.

The sisters soon begin rehearsing as Violet, the scriptwriter, reads it out. Misty remains disinterested and nervous, though her sisters actively act out the scenes including the sword fights. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is in front of the Cerulean Gym when they notice the Underwater Ballet show poster. [[James]] is immediately interested and notes that he used to learn dance, though [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} have different motives. The trio decides to infiltrate the show to steal all of the {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

On the day of the performance, a large crowd fills the whole Gym, eager to see the show. Ash and Brock are sitting among the audience, and Ash is excited to see Misty, though she is nervous after seeing the size of the crowd. After an introductory announcement, the lights dim and the Gym's pool rises close to the ceiling. The show starts smoothly with Misty swimming with the water Pokémon. While {{ka|Lily}} and {{an|Violet}}, in costume, are watching, Team Rocket attacks them. {{an|Daisy}}, who had been taking tickets, hears her cue on the pre-recorded voice-over and goes to change. As the antagonists of the show appear, Ash and Brock quickly realize that Team Rocket has gate-crashed the show and leave their seats to address the situation. Jessie and James insert breathing devices into their mouths before diving into the pool. Misty emerges from a clam shell to see Team Rocket swimming towards her. They perform their {{motto}} underwater and are thrilled by the crowd's applause.

Meowth, waiting on a diving board, presses a button, and the Meowth Balloon crashes through the ceiling. Meowth then releases a net, which ensnares several {{p|Goldeen}}. Misty and Team Rocket tussle over the Pokémon. Meanwhile, Daisy has since changed into her costume and is about to enter the stage when Ash and Brock appear. They quickly inform her of Team Rocket's arrival and hand her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} before diving in to help Misty. Confused at this, Daisy hears banging on a nearby locker, and finds Lily and Violet bound and gagged. An underwater battle commences between Misty and Ash's Water Pokémon against [[Jessie's Arbok]]. Horsea's {{m|Bubble}} is swatted way by Arbok's tail, and it then disappears in a {{m|Smokescreen}}. When the black cloud clears, a {{p|Seaking}} attacks Arbok with its horn. Misty then orders Seaking to use {{m|Horn Drill}}, which hits Arbok multiple times.

The battle continues, but the audience is still convinced that it is all part of the show and are practically enjoying it. Violet attempts to help and summons [[Misty's Psyduck]], though they are shocked to learn that it hates water. Although {{TP|James|Weezing}} floats to the surface, unable to breathe underwater, Arbok dominates its opponents and rounds them up, hoping to finish them off. Just then, {{OBP|Seel|Cerulean Gym}} intervenes, quickly encircling Arbok. At Misty's command, it follows up with several {{m|Headbutt}}s. Misty's sisters are impressed by Seel's battling, admitting they never thought about using it. After delivering a successful {{m|Aurora Beam}}, Seel begins spinning and evolves into {{p|Dewgong}}. Arbok advances again, though Dewgong sends it flying into Jessie and James before freezing them with its {{m|Ice Beam}}. After Misty and Brock bring the Water Pokémon to a rock, {{AP|Pikachu}} electrocutes the water, sending Jessie, James, and Arbok upwards. They hit Meowth and the balloon, sending them all blasting off once more. The crowd goes wild, having enjoyed the show. Because of this, the Cerulean Gym shows are popular again, with months worth of bookings set up.

Before departing, Misty decides to leave Horsea at the Gym after Brock reminds her of Horsea's condition, and her sisters also borrow her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. They also want Togepi and Pikachu as well, but Misty and Ash refuse to hand them over. Misty then offers to let them have Psyduck, which the sisters say they aren't that desperate for. Later, Ash and his friends bid farewell to the Sensational Sisters to continue their journey. As they leave Cerulean City, Ash compliments Misty's performance, but Misty reminds him that he still owes her a bike.

==Trivia==
[[File:EP061 fish.png|thumb|200px|Real world fish]]
* This is the first episode in the Japanese version to feature [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]], which would last until mid-''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. His lectures resumed in the early ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' and continued through ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.
** [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: {{p|Magikarp}}
*** Pokémon senryū summary: {{p|Magikarp}}, splashes lively, energetic child.
* The English dub title of the episode is a reference to the fairy-tale story and Disney film ''{{wp|The Little Mermaid}}''.
** The play itself is also a reference to the fairy-tale, although the overall premise (namely the fact that pirates were the main villains, as well as the main mermaid's overall appearance and her even being named, or at least played by a person named "Misty") more closely resembles the Disney storyteller record ''Misty the Mischievous Mermaid''.
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s outfits when they appear to ruin the show appear to be based upon the ballet Swan Lake.
* Since {{Ash}} registered {{p|Dewgong}} underwater, the [[Pokédex]] is apparently waterproof. This also marks the first time Ash uses the Pokédex underwater.
* Unlike its pre-Evolution {{p|Ekans}}, [[Jessie's Arbok]] is shown to have the ability to breathe underwater. [[James's Weezing]], however, is less dense than water and immediately floats to the surface.
* This marks the final appearance of [[Misty's Starmie]] in the main series, excluding a flashback in ''[[EP073|Bad To The Bone]]'', until ''[[JN140|Bearing Down Easy!]]'', 1,164 episodes later.
** This also marks the final appearance of [[Misty's Horsea]] in the main series.
*This episode marks the first time a main character other than Ash has permanently left a Pokémon in storage in the middle of a journey.
** This is also the first time that a Pokémon that was left in storage was part of the main characters active party.
*The DVD and VHS releases of this episode incorrectly place it directly after ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', as that episode takes chronologically place right before Ash and {{ashfr}} head to [[Cinnabar Island]].This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Splashdown in Cerulean City]].
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 3: Water'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].
* It is revealed that {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} is unable to breathe underwater, despite being a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* [[Animals in the Pokémon world|Real world fish]] are seen in an aquarium inside the [[Cerulean Gym]], instead of additional [[Generation I]] fish Pokémon {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Seaking}}, and {{p|Goldeen}}.
* This is one of [[Team Rocket motto variations#Original series|many episodes of the original series]] in which a variation of {{motto|Team Rocket's motto}} is given. In the last line, {{MTR}} replaces "Meowth, that's right" with "Meowth, that's wet".
* These are Lily and Violet's last major appearances.

===Errors===
[[File:EP061 error.png|thumb|200px|Ash's missing glove]]
* When Daisy says that the [[Sensational Sisters]] have been performing for so long that they no longer garner large crowds, Ash's left glove is missing.
* The swords {{an|Misty}}'s sisters are using are made of rubber, but when {{an|Daisy}} unleashes her sword as she is about to go onstage, it has a metal sound effect.
* When {{AP|Pikachu}} falls in the water, his mouth doesn't move when he says "Pika-Pi".
* Despite Arbok fighting in the water, it is said that only Water Pokémon could do so. However, many real world snakes have the ability to survive and fight underwater, which may explain why Arbok can do so.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[2.B.A. Master]] (US DVD box set), {{so|Viridian City}} (Pokémon TV)
* The sign in front of the [[Gym]] has its text changed from "Hanada Gym" to "Cerulean Gym".
* Ash compares the mermaid on the poster to Misty in the dub, while he comments on the oddness of the gym doing swimming and underwater ballet shows in the original.
* In the English dub, {{ka|Lily}} guilt-trips Misty by saying the customers will be disappointed, but she simply teases her inexperience in the original version.
* Lily starts narrating the ballet's plot earlier in the dub; in the original, she starts by saying she is more worthy for the role but is being kind by giving it to Misty.
* When {{an|Brock}} and Ash are applauding the ballet rehearsal, they specifically compliment the prince and the {{p|Seel}} respectively in the dub. In the original version, they simply complimented the story in general.
* James' quip that "next time [they'll] steal men's clothes" was originally just a remark on the magnificence of their plan.
* The sign that says "Metamon Coffee & Tea" had the word {{tt|Metamon|Ditto}} digitally erased from it.
* In the final exchange of the dub, Ash compliments Misty's performance while Misty tells him flattery won't make her forget about her destroyed [[Bicycle|bike]]. In the original, Ash reaffirms his original suspicion of the Gym while Misty tells him not to think much of it.

==Blurb==

After reaching the town where the preliminary round of the Whirl Cup is held, Ash and Misty enter and earn the two victories required to continue on to the finals. A friend they had met earlier is not as fortunate. When Misty tries to console him with promises of the next Whirl Cup to be held in three years, he remains depressed, saying that it was not lack of ability but the low spirits of his Octillery that had brought about his defeat. The Pokémon had been depressed ever since it evolved from a Remoraid and was subsequently spurned by its onetime Remoraid friends. If the boy cannot somehow mend these friendships between Pokémon that have now grown different in appearance, he doesn't see any hopes of victory even in three years time. Ash and friends willingly lend their knowledge and enthusiasm to this problem of Pokémon sociology.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally reached [[Scarlet City]], the site of the [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. {{an|Brock}} tells his friends to stop arguing over who is going to win as they enter the [[Pokémon Center]] to register for the preliminary rounds. The lengthy queue comes as a surprise to Ash and {{an|Misty}}. Brock begins flirting with [[Nurse Joy]], but Misty bumps him out of the way. Ash and Misty register for the Whirl Cup. Nurse Joy hands the group a map of the tournament grounds, and explains that Ash will be competing in Stadium A while Misty’s first round will be in Stadium B. Joy runs through her database and reveals that two wins will be required to enter the actual Whirl Cup event, as only 64 competitors can qualify.

Afterwards, the group eat some icy poles outside. They are suddenly approached by a young {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Marcellus]], who pleads with Ash to {{pkmn|battle}} his {{p|Remoraid}}. Ash quickly agrees to the match, though Brock warns him that the preliminaries are only tomorrow, and that he should save his Pokémon's strength. Misty asks Marcellus for further details, and he admits that he wants to [[Evolution|evolve]] his Remoraid into an {{p|Octillery}}. Marcellus shows them a stadium for the Whirl Cup and admits that the {{t|Water}} event will largely be occurring on land, so an Octillery would be perfectly suited. Misty decides to accept the challenge instead, since she hasn't had the chance to train with her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} [[EP213|since she caught it]]. She calls it out against Marcellus’s Remoraid. Marcellus commands Remoraid to use {{m|Water Gun}}, which Corsola counters with {{m|Mirror Coat}}, knocking back the Remoraid. Corsola goes for a {{m|Tackle}} but Remoraid dives underneath and Corsola hits one of the pillars. It seems like Remoraid is nowhere to be seen, but soon it is spotted riding atop a wave. Marcellus tells Remoraid to use another Water Gun, and this time, it knocks Corsola out. Seconds later, Remoraid evolves into Octillery. Marcellus thanks them and declares that he’ll meet them in the Whirl Cup finals before heading off.

The next day, the preliminary matches begin. Ash has {{AP|Totodile}} go up against a Trainer and his {{p|Seel}}. Totodlie's fancy footwork helps it avoid the several {{m|Ice Beam}}s, and it knocks Seel out with a single Water Gun attack. Misty's first round goes well, and her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} {{m|Double Slap}}s a {{p|Magikarp}} out of the competition. Ash breezes through his second round, defeating a {{p|Shellder}} with Totodile. In Misty’s second round, her Corsola manages to {{m|Recover}} from several direct hits from a {{p|Seaking}}. A Tackle attack gives Misty her second win, allowing her to advance into the Whirl Cup tournament. The group reunite back at the Pokémon Center, where Ash and Misty reveal that they both won their two preliminaries. Marcellus walks past them and appears quite glum. Ash quickly, though tactlessly, recognizes from Marcellus's mood that he lost and thus will not be entering the main tournament. Misty offers him some advice, and this appears to cheer Marcellus up. He invites them to his place for dinner, and the group accepts the offer.

Inside Marcellus's mansion, the group ventures into a room with Remoraid in several aquarium tanks. Marcellus explains that he has caught Remoraid from all over including the southern sea. He admits that it is taking his Pokémon a while to evolve and calls out his only Octillery. Marcellus places Octillery in one of the tanks, but the Remoraid quickly swim off in another direction. After being struck by several Water Guns, Octillery retreats into a ceramic jar to console itself. The group are concerned and realize that the Remoraid probably don't recognize Octillery as their friend because they never saw it evolve. Marcellus explains that Octillery's feelings of exclusion got to it so badly, it ended up being unable to concentrate on battling during the preliminaries, and they ended up losing. After a few ideas, they dress up Ash in an Octillery costume, much to Ash's chagrin. Ash tries to lure out the Octillery, but instead he receives a Water Gun for his efforts.

Overnight, {{TRT}} slips into Marcellus's home through a window. [[Jessie]] is initially startled by the school of Remoraid because they remind her of her first-grade teacher, but [[James]] helps her settle down. {{MTR}} suggests that they could open a fishing park and make money for people to catch the Remoraid. With that, the trio commences their plan and vacuums up all the Remoraid. Meanwhile, the group and Marcellus are having dinner when they hear a funny noise. Marcellus decides to check it out. He flips on the light switch and he is greeted by Team Rocket who perform their {{motto}}. Marcellus demands to know what they want, then he turns to see that his tanks are empty. Ash and his friends peer through the doorway just as Team Rocket leave through a window. The group and Marcellus rush outside to see Team Rocket leave in their truck. Before the trio drives off, Octillery walks over and clings to the truck's bottom. Octillery leaves a trail of ink behind for Marcellus to follow. Team Rocket stops at a port to load their stolen goods onto a waiting boat. Meowth takes the controls of the crane, but he is stopped by Octillery who suctions itself to his face. Jessie and James attempt to pull Octillery off, but they get headbutted by Octillery's hard head. Octillery soon breaks open the tank containing all of Marcellus’s Remoraid and frees them into the nearby ocean. Now the group has arrived on the scene, but Team Rocket isn't giving up. Meowth tries to grab Octillery with the crane, making a few unsuccessful moves but finally getting it. Ash is about to have Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Meowth laughs and warns that Octillery will be hit as well. With no other option, the Remoraid all fire at the crane, causing Octillery to go flying. But the Remoraid save it with their Water Gun jets, placing it gently onto the port. Marcellus is thrilled to see that his Remoraid have finally recognized Octillery as their friend. Pikachu unleashes a Thunderbolt followed by Octillery shooting an {{m|Octazooka}}, blowing Team Rocket sky high. After the battle, the Remoraid soon evolve into Octillery themselves and it looks like Marcellus's Octillery won't be lonely anymore.

The next day, Ash, Misty, Brock, Marcellus, and the finalist Trainers all await at a cliff to watch the Whirl Cup Stadium, partially flooded, rise from the swirling seas. It looks like the real battle has just begun.

===Errors===
* Corsola's Lure Ball is shown as a Poké Ball when Misty calls it out to battle Marcellus.
* When {{an|Misty}} tells {{Ash}} to be a ''Pokemon Immitator'', there is a {{p|Remoraid}} in the Remoraid aquarium in which its fin is outside the border of the aquarium, thus, making it float in the air.
* When Team Rocket exits the window, their truck is close to the building. However, when they run to it, the truck is further away.

===Dub edits===
* In the English [[dub]], when {{TRT}} enters the room with the aquarium, [[Jessie]] freaks out because she says the Remoraid remind her of her first-grade teacher. In the original version, she instead freaks out because she remembers the trouble Remoraid gave them in [[EP214|the previous episode]].

'''May's Venusaur''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのフシギバナ''' ''Haruka's Fushigibana'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|May}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and her fourth overall.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|RS}}====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:May Bulbasaur with Venusaur.png|thumb|220px|left|Bulbasaur and her parent, Venusaur]]
In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', May was kidnapped by a hungry {{p|Skarmory}} and ended up lost in a reserve for {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} called the [[Forbidden Forest]]. There, she met a clumsy Bulbasaur while trying to pick flowers. After being saved from a fall, Bulbasaur warmed up to May, but the other Pokémon in the reserve repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to {{p|Venusaur}}, her parent and the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her.

In ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'', May sent out Bulbasaur to enjoy the sights as they went through a city. Bulbasaur quickly got distracted by some flowers in a truck and had to be rescued as the truck sped off. Later, at the Pokémon Center, May showed Professor Oak her Bulbasaur, which made Ash decide to bring his own {{AP|Bulbasaur}} over for a visit. When the Poké Ball arrived, it wouldn't open, making everyone believe that the Pokémon Center's Balls were stolen. The culprits were revealed to be {{TRT}}, who accidentally dropped Ash's Bulbasaur while escaping. The two Bulbasaur teamed up to stop Team Rocket. Once they found Team Rocket, the two Bulbasaur battled them, with Ash's Bulbasaur protecting and teaching May's how to fight. After rescuing the Pokémon, Professor Oak called back and asked for Ash's Bulbasaur to return so it could stop the {{t|Water}} and {{t|Grass}} Pokémon from fighting. Ash sent his Bulbasaur back to Professor Oak's Laboratory as May's Bulbasaur appeared to have made a positive change from the experience.
[[File:May Purika Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|Bulbasaur and May after winning the Purika Ribbon]]
In ''[[A Fan with a Plan]]'', May decided to use Bulbasaur in her upcoming [[Rank (Contest)|R1]] [[Rubello Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] after Drew called her undisciplined due to her clumsiness. Bulbasaur participated in the Contest in the [[AG078|next episode]]. Although initially excited to participate, she quickly became overwhelmed by the roaring crowd and large stage. May snapped at her when she tried to hide, and Bulbasaur reluctantly stepped forward to face [[Savannah]]'s {{p|Lairon}}. Due to her fear, she failed to follow May's commands and was declared unable to continue after a few attacks. Despite May's harsh attitude, she apologized later for losing sight of what was important.
[[File:May Beautifly Bulbasaur Hoenn Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|left|Bulbasaur and Beautifly in the Hoenn Grand Festival]]
In ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', Bulbasaur was used in the {{ci|Purika}} Contest. In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], she started her performance by using {{m|Razor Leaf}}. As the leaves were flying through the air, she whipped them with the vines from her {{m|Vine Whip}} [[move|attack]], impressing [[Contest Judge|the judges]] and advancing May to the [[Contest Battle]]s. There, she was seen defeating {{OBP|Kent|AG103}}'s {{p|Surskit }} to reach the final round, where she battled [[Harley's Cacturne]]. Their battle was a hard-fought one, but in the end, Bulbasaur was able to defeat the Scarecrow Pokémon with a [[Contest combination|combination]] of Razor Leaf and {{m|Petal Dance}}, giving May her fourth [[Hoenn]] [[Ribbon]].

When May got the five required Ribbons, Bulbasaur participated in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Bulbasaur was used in the first round of the
battle stage against [[Harley]]'s Cacturne and {{p|Banette}}, alongside {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. The duo showed off stunning combinations, such as with {{m|Silver Wind}} and Razor Leaf, and won the match. Bulbasaur participated in the next battle, alongside {{TP|May|Combusken}}, against {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}'s {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Pinsir}}. The two ended the round with more points, advancing May to the next stage.

=====Kanto=====
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Bulbasaur was one of the Pokémon May decided to bring with her when she traveled through the [[Kanto]] region. Bulbasaur reunited with Ash's Bulbasaur when May stopped at Professor Oak's Lab to meet up with Ash. The two Bulbasaur were later used in a battle against Team Rocket, where May's Bulbasaur was impressed by Ash's Bulbasaur's skill. May decided to leave Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's Lab so she could learn more from Ash's Bulbasaur.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', May was revealed to have retrieved Bulbasaur from {{an|Professor Oak}}'s care and fully [[Evolution|evolved]] her into a Venusaur. She was seen during the second battle round of the [[Wallace Cup]], where she defeated a {{p|Marill}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:May Bulbasaur flowers.png|thumb|220px|Bulbasaur's love of flowers]]
[[File:May and Bulbasaur.png|thumb|left|220px|Bulbasaur and May]]
As a Bulbasaur, she proved to be a very sweet Pokémon. She was very willing to compete in Contests and do her best. She was very confident in most of her Contests. The only exception was her first Contest, in which her nervousness showed in her performance.

In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', she was shown to be very protective, as she helped protect May from all of the Pokémon that tried to attack her. In ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'', she was shown to be very friendly to other Pokémon, especially [[Ash's Bulbasaur]].

She is also very fond of flowers. She became friends with Ash's Bulbasaur when Ash temporarily brought it to Hoenn in ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'' and further bonded with it in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' when May decided to leave her at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s ranch.

She was distinctive from Ash's Bulbasaur in three ways: she had a gentler personality, a pair of heart-shaped spots on her forehead, and she was able to use the move {{m|Petal Dance}} as opposed to Ash's Bulbasaur's use of the technique {{m|Solar Beam}}.

Whether she still holds on to these traits after her evolution is unknown.

==Trivia==
[[File:High vine.png|thumb|220px|May's Bulbasaur with [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Note the heart spots on her head.]]
* Venusaur is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] to be owned by a main character that is seen in her final evolved form and unevolved form, but never in her middle form.
** Venusaur is also the only first partner Pokémon owned by a main character to evolve off-screen twice.
*** Venusaur is also the first Pokémon owned by a main character to have done so.
* Though Bulbasaur have no gender differences in the games, May's Bulbasaur has little heart spots on her head while {{Ash}}'s does not, and has since been confirmed female via gender differences after she evolved into Venusaur.
** She is also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the animated series with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
* Venusaur's capture as a Bulbasaur marks the first time where one of [[Ash's friends]] acquires a {{p|Bulbasaur|species of Pokémon}} that Ash also {{AP|had|Bulbasaur}}.
* Venusaur is the first {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon to belong to a main character besides Ash.
** Coincidentally the first {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon owned by Ash was also a [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)|Bulbasaur.]]
* Venusaur, as a Bulbasaur, was the first first partner Pokémon to have been obtained by a main character outside its native region.
* Venusaur was the only Pokémon belonging to Ash's friends to have ever been left at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

'''Captain Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''キャプテンピカチュウ''' ''Captain Pikachu''), also referred to simply as '''Cap''' (Japanese: '''キャップ''' ''Cap''), is [[Friede]]'s partner Pokémon and his second known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He sits in the chair on the bridge of the [[Brave Olivine]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' ship, and is responsible for navigating it when Friede is not present. He is also co-leader of the Pokémon who belong to Friede's teammates and the group that live on the Brave Olivine. Captain Pikachu is almost always seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}. He is a founding member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, which is named after his {{m|Volt Tackle|signature move}}.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Captain Pikachu was living in the [[Paldea]] region, but dreamt of flying and kept trying to do so using his {{m|Volt Tackle}}. One day, Pikachu met [[Friede]], who offered his friendship, but Pikachu didn't accept it. However, Pikachu changed his mind when Friede offered food and help in making his dream come true. After being able to fly successfully, Captain Pikachu accepted Friede's request to be his partner and was caught. Captain Pikachu's dream of flying using Volt Tackle inspired Friede to approach [[Ludlow]] and [[Orla]] about constructing the [[Brave Olivine]] and forming the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to fly around and explore the world, with Captain Pikachu being one of its founding members. Later, Captain Pikachu would meet [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Captain Pikachu met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as she joined the team.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Captain Pikachu.png|thumb|left|250px|Captain Pikachu and Friede]]
=====With Friede=====
In ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', Friede used Captain Pikachu to battle against [[Amethio]] after he and [[Explorers|his group]] had boarded the [[Brave Olivine]] to coerce [[Liko]] to come with them. He battled against {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, but the battle was ultimately halted by Liko, who felt responsible for all the trouble happening around her. In the [[HZ003|next episode]], he once went up against Amethio's Ceruledge. This time, however, it was merely a distraction so that Liko could sneak around the Explorers' hideout for the moment and find her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, who had been taken hostage by the group. Once they reunited, the battle ended with Friede and Captain Pikachu making their escape.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Captain Pikachu partook in a training battle against [[Roy]] and Liko, going up against {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and Sprigatito. By using {{m|Double Team}}, Captain Pikachu avoided getting hit as his opponents attacked his duplicates, tiring themselves out in the process until they became unable to battle.

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Captain Pikachu battled against a {{OBP|Trainer|HZ016}}'s {{p|Bisharp}} aboard a ferry. He and Friede were looking for [[Spinel]] and Liko's pendant when this Trainer recognized and challenged them. Despite this, the two Rising Volt Tacklers did not take long to figure out that this Trainer and the one they were looking for were not one in the same, and Captain Pikachu finished off his opponent quickly.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Captain Pikachu participated in a battle against the Explorers. However, when a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared, Captain Pikachu battled it, but got injured. Fortunately, Captain Pikachu was rescued by Liko and Roy and left the [[Galar Mine]] in order for him to recover, while his Trainer and Charizard stayed behind to battle the Explorers. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Captain Pikachu meet up with Friede at the [[Motostoke]] [[Pokémon Center]], after recovering from his battle with Moltres. Captain Pikachu then battled Moltres again in order to calm it down, which they were able to do and the Legendary Pokémon return it to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Friede Charizard and Captain Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Captain Pikachu and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Captain Pikachu stayed behind to guard the Brave Olivine while his Trainer, Liko, and Roy went to an [[ancient castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. In the [[HZ025|following episode]], he and the rest of the group arrived at the castle after Friede called upon them. Cap briefly battled [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} and set off [[Coral]]'s fury, which resulted in her commanding her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. He and his Trainer managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', Captain Pikachu noticed an odd Pokémon, as he saw a strange purple liquid on the battlefield during his training with Roy's Fuecoco and Liko's Sprigatito. Later, Captain Pikachu found the Pokémon and discovered it to be a wild {{p|Polteageist}}. Hearing that Polteageist wanted to battle {{p|Shuckle}}, Captain Pikachu let them and invited some of the other Pokémon, including [[Murdock's Rockruff]] and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}}, to watch. However, the battle was called off, but Captain Pikachu and his friends welcomed Polteageist to the group, as they were joined by Fuecoco, Sprigatito, and [[Dot's Quaxly]] in the celebration.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Captain Pikachu fought against Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}} after getting trapped in a tower with him. By allowing Umbreon to send Cap crashing into a wall and then hitting the wall with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, Cap was able to create an opening that allowed Friede to escape.

In ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}}, winning the battle without much difficulty.

In ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used alongside Charizard to fend off a pack of {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Houndour}} impeding the group's search for [[Lucius's Kleavor]].
[[File:Captain Pikachu Lightning Rod.png|thumb|250px|left|{{a|Lightning Rod}} activated]]
In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Captain Pikachu teamed up with {{p|Floragato}}, {{p|Crocalor}}, and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} in order to battle an {{p|Entei}} the Rising Volt Tacklers believed to be one of the Six Heroes. Using his speed and agility, Captain Pikachu kept the other Pokémon protected from Entei's powerful attacks. Although everyone managed to prove their strength to Entei, neither Pagogo nor the other Heroes resonated with it, confirming that Entei was not the one that belonged to Lucius.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Captain Pikachu battled [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] and was able to help the rest of the younger members' Pokémon pass its trial, eventually earning Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|next episode]], Captain Pikachu joined the fight against Black Rayquaza, holding his own against the Legendary Pokemon and even managing to singlehandedly land a direct hit with Volt Tackle, but he was ultimately defeated by {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Captain Pikachu partnered with Charizard in a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel's Umbreon and {{p|Beheeyem}}. After Pikachu revealed his {{a|Lightning Rod}} [[Hidden Ability]], Spinel had his Beheeyem use {{m|Skill Swap}} to acquire it, effectively rendering Pikachu's damage-dealing moves useless; in the process, Pikachu received {{a|Telepathy}}. Knowing Lightning Rod would have Beheeyem teleporting in front of incoming {{type|Electric}} moves, Friede was able to create a plan: Pikachu targeted Umbreon with a Thunder Punch, luring Beheeyem into getting near, while Charizard {{Tera}}stallized and unleashed a {{type|Dark}} {{m|Tera Blast}} in their direction, which knocked out Beheeyem and left Umbreon barely standing. Due to Telepathy's effect, Pikachu was able to dodge its ally's attack and soon finished off the remaining opponent with a Volt Tackle. However, the battle left Friede's Pokémon exhausted, and in the [[HZ087|next episode]], the two weakened Pokémon went berserk due to the [[Laquium]]'s mist and attacked each other, knocking each other out and forcing Friede to [[recall]] them.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Captain Pikachu, Friede, and Charizard were caught in a heavy gust of wind as they were trying get aboard the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Cap to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the airship. Captain Pikachu and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways. One year later, it was revealed that Cap, now wearing Friede's goggles, was being taken care of by Roy.

=====Traveling with Roy=====
[[File:Captain Pikachu and Roy.png|250px|thumb|Captain Pikachu and Roy]]
In [[HZ090]], Captain Pikachu battled alongside Roy and [[Uruto]]'s Pokémon against a {{p|Slaking}} affected by Laquium.

In [[HZ094]], Captain Pikachu helped against the Laquium-afflicated [[Vileplume (Pokémon)|Vileplume]]'s {{m|Poison Powder}} using Rising Volt Tackler to create a twister to keep the smoke at bay before at the end of the episode he lead Roy and Liko towards the Exceed Testing Center.

In [[HZ095]], Captain Pikachu intervened after [[Liko's Meowscarada]] and [[Roy's Crocalor]] were defeated by [[Coral's Glalie]] and [[Sidian's Garganacl]] having used the [[Strong Sphere|Strong Spheres]] on their Pokemon and kept attacking afterwards using {{m|Thunder Punch}} and {{m|Double Team}} before Uruto and Sableye intervened as well and helped them escape.

In [[HZ100]], Captain Pikachu discovered that Friede and Charizard were still alive, and soon joined the other Rising Volt Tacklers in celebrating with renewed hope.

===Personality and characteristics===

Captain Pikachu is often seen with [[Friede]] and shares a close bond with him. However, the two can disagree at times, which has led them to clash and butt heads with each other. Despite this, Captain Pikachu and Friede trust each other enough to know their intentions, as they would devise a plan, even though they would sometimes ad lib the plan. In addition to Friede, Captain Pikachu seems to be great friends with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, as he enjoys hanging out with it and would usually train with it whenever they could. Ever since he had been placed in [[Roy]]'s care, the Electric Mouse Pokémon has become close to him as well. Like Friede, Captain Pikachu is especially fond of Liko and Roy, often praising them and their Pokémon when they achieve a certain goal.

Captain Pikachu is shown to be diligent and responsible, as he seems to take his position of captain seriously, being easily distinguished from the rest of his {{p|Pikachu|species}} for wearing a captain's beret outside of battles. Captain Pikachu is also intelligent and powerful, and has been shown to battle on equal terms with [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] several times. In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', his intelligence was at full display, as Captain Pikachu managed to figure out from the battle style alone that his opponent was not the one he and Friede were looking for. Pikachu has also been shown to be independent, capable of battling competently without the need of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s commands. In his time with Roy, Pikachu has had no problem listening to his new caretaker's commands, and has proven to be reliable backup to Roy's Pokémon when fighting strong [[wild Pokémon]], such as ones afflicted by [[Laquium]]. Compared to other Pikachu like [[Ash's Pikachu]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Captain Pikachu prefers using [[Physical move|physical]] {{t|Electric}} [[move]]s like {{m|Volt Tackle}} and fighting at close range. When cooperating with others, Pikachu is shown to be selfless and willing to shield his partners from harm, as shown in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'' when he took a direct hit from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Entei}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to protect [[Roy's Crocalor]]. In the same battle, Captain Pikachu was shown to have above-average stamina for his species, being able to withstand a {{status|burn}} from Sacred Fire and keep fighting.

As co-leader of both the Pokémon that belong to Friede's teammates and the group that live on the [[Brave Olivine]], Captain Pikachu usually keeps things in order with both groups. Captain Pikachu has been shown to be friendly with both people and Pokémon, and he is welcoming to new members, as shown in ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', when he, along with the Pokémon living on the Brave Olivine and some of his Trainer's teammates' Pokémon, welcomed a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Polteageist}} to the group. In addition, Captain Pikachu is protective of the airship, as seen in ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when he attacked Roy after he caught him sneaking around it. With Friede absent, Captain Pikachu has served as a more mature voice of reason among the group, sometimes helping to calm tempers in an argument.

Captain Pikachu is characterized by usually wearing a sassy expression on his face, and has a habit of standing on his tail, especially when he is sitting on the chair at the captain's deck. As revealed in ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Captain Pikachu has a kind of "allergy" when he is called "cute" or when this characteristic is noticed, he starts sneezing and ends up losing focus on what he was doing. Despite his usual serious demeanor, Captain Pikachu does enjoys having fun and doing various activities with his friends, such as surfing with [[Murdock]] in [[HZ105]].

'''Clemont's Chespin''' (Japanese: '''シトロンのハリマロン''' ''Citron's Harimaron'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Clemont}} obtained in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his sixth overall, having received it from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
[[File:Clemont and Chespin.png|thumb|left|250px|Chespin and Clemont]]
Chespin debuted in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} found it hiding behind a plant and eating macarons. Clemont tried to befriend it, only for Chespin to stab his hand with its spikes and run off with several macarons in its hands. Later, it witnessed {{an|Professor Sycamore}} being captured by {{TRT}} and helped Ash and Clemont track the kidnappers by following a trail of macaron pieces left by {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Once there, Chespin attempted to steal the macarons [[Jessie]] left lying around, only to fail and alert Team Rocket to Ash and Clemont's presence.

After Team Rocket unleashed their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Mega Mega Meowth]], Chespin was saved from being crushed by the mecha by Clemont, which caused the two to bond a little. Chespin helped Clemont stop the rampaging machine by pulling out its plug, only for Team Rocket to use an alternate power source to continue fighting. Having no choice, Clemont and Chespin battled the mecha, only for Chespin's attacks to fail. Even when teamed up with {{AP|Pikachu}}, the mecha suffered no damage. However, [[Blaziken Mask]]'s {{p|Blaziken}} saved the day by weakening the machine with {{m|Flamethrower}}, allowing Chespin and Pikachu to finish it off and send Team Rocket blasting off. Later, Chespin revealed it wanted to join Clemont's team as it watched him leave Professor Sycamore's lab. Clemont accepted Chespin's request and was given Chespin's {{i|Poké Ball}} to [[recall]] it.
[[File:Clemont Chespin Overgrow.png|250px|thumb|Overgrow activated]]
In ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', after stealing some of Serena's macarons, Clemont became concerned with how Chespin was out of shape from eating so much. To work off some of the weight, he had Chespin battle {{AP|Froakie}} and Dedenne, but it lost to both due to its weight. Later that night, Clemont made a machine to help Chespin, but Chespin walked off into the woods after smelling some cooked food. Chespin wandered into {{OBP|Carrie|XY015}}'s house and was taken in for the night. Much to its delight, there was plenty of food for it to eat. Later that day, it had a battle with [[Wylie]]'s {{p|Delphox}}. Chespin barely avoided {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and was about to be hit by Flamethrower, but Clemont stepped in and blocked the attack. Clemont and Chespin then teamed up to battle Delphox, using its rounded shape to roll and dodge attacks until it lost weight. This allowed Chespin to move much more quickly and hit it with a {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. However, Chespin was hit by a powerful Flamethrower, which led to the activation of its Ability, Overgrow. Chespin then hit Delphox with one more powerful Vine Whip. It was then about to be hit by Delphox's {{m|Mystical Fire}}, but the battle was stopped due to Wylie experiencing pains in his waist.

In ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', Chespin was used in a [[Double Battle]] with {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} against {{AP|Hawlucha}} and {{AP|Froakie}}. Due to an argument between Froakie and Hawlucha, Clemont's Pokémon had the upper hand, but Froakie used its speed to trick Chespin's Pin Missile into hitting Bunnelby, knocking it out. After this, Froakie and Hawlucha started to fight, ending the battle. Later, it was shown that Chespin had eaten all of Serena's [[Poké Puff]]s when she tried to give them out.
[[File:Clemont Chespin and Serena Pancham.png|thumb|250px|left|Chespin's rivalry with Pancham]]
In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Chespin was used in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} along with Pikachu and {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} against [[Shauna's Bulbasaur]], [[Tierno's Squirtle]], and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. Chespin and the others were disadvantaged due to their opponents' great teamwork. When Shauna's Bulbasaur fired a {{m|Solar Beam}} at Pikachu, Chespin used its Vine Whip to tilt Pikachu up, allowing Pikachu to defeat Charmander. Chespin then used Vine Whip to counter Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}}, while Pikachu defeated a defenseless Bulbasaur. Eventually, Pikachu defeated Squirtle, giving Ash, Serena, and Clemont the win.

In ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'', after eating all of the Poké Puffs, Chespin had a continuous quarrel with [[Serena's Pancham]]. During their quarrel, they accidentally disturbed [[Nini]] {{pkmn|training}} with her {{p|Smoochum}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}} for her upcoming [[Pokémon Showcase]]. Later, a disguised Team Rocket appeared and managed to steal Pancham, Chespin, Fennekin, Smoochum, and Farfetch'd. While trapped inside of a ball, it and Pancham again quarreled, causing them to escape from the ball. However, Team Rocket quickly found them again and managed to injure Fennekin, Smoochum, and Farfetch'd, forcing Chespin and Pancham to work together. Eventually, they got reunited with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, and together Chespin and Pancham defeated Team Rocket. Although it seemed the two finally understood each other, Chespin and Pancham quickly quarreled again after the battle.

In ''[[XY084|Adventures in Running Errands!]]'', the group arrived at a [[Pokémon Center]] to shelter from the rain. However, a leak in the roof caused the center's machinery to short-circuit. While Clemont was fixing the machine, he had Chespin and Bunnelby run an errand to buy a machine part. Chespin was given a purse with a letter on which the part's name was written. While heading towards the shop, a wild {{p|Fearow}} snatched the purse from the duo. The two eventually managed to get the purse back and escape from the Fearow. While continuing their errand, Chespin and Bunnelby got attacked by Team Rocket. They managed to hold their own against {{TP|James|Inkay}} and {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}. When Gourgeist attacked with Shadow Ball, {{AP|Fletchinder}} arrived and blocked the attack with {{m|Steel Wing}}, followed by Ash and {{AP|Noibat}}. Despite being told to stand back, Chespin and Bunnelby continued to fight Team Rocket themselves and managed to blast them off. Chespin and Bunnelby finished their errand, giving Clemont the last part to fix the Pokémon Center's main system.
[[File:Clemont Chespin searching water.png|250px|thumb|Chespin using its vines to search for underground water]]
In ''[[XY108|A Watershed Moment!]]'', Chespin walked across a barren land along with Clemont, trying to keep the tired [[Gym Leader]] from collapsing before they came across [[Robon]]. As Chespin, along with the others, observed the robot planting seeds, they got surprised by a {{m|Seed Bomb}} attack coming from an angry {{p|Chesnaught}} looming from a large rock before suddenly attacking them. Chespin attempted to go against its fully evolved form but backed down just as quickly as the Chesnaught began chasing it around. After managing to get away, Chespin pointed out a rundown building to the group that once belonged to [[Chapman]]. After assessing the situation, the others and Chespin decided to help out Robon and also managed to gain the trust of Chesnaught. While [[Clemont's Luxray]] used his X-Ray vision along with Ash's Noibat using {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}} to locate a water source, Chespin used Vine Whip to help search underground too, also encouraging Chesnaught to mimic with its own Vine Whip. After a while, Chespin managed to find the source, only to be blocked by a large rock. As everyone tried to remove it, Team Rocket appeared captured them. After Chesnaught managed to break the remote control, thus freeing everyone, Chespin combined its {{m|Pin Missile}} along with the other Pokémon's attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. After Robon was fixed and successfully destroyed the rock to let the water flow, Chespin bade farewell to Chesnaught as they headed out.

Clemont sent out Chespin and Bunnelby to fight [[Team Flare]] in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''. They joined the battle against [[Bryony]]'s {{p|Liepard}} and [[Aliana]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}. The two of them, alongside Luxray and {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, defeated the Team Flare Scientists' Pokémon, allowing Clembot to subdue them and for the team to infiltrate the [[Lumiose Gym]]. In [[XY134|the following episode]], Chespin battled with [[Xerosic]]'s {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Malamar}}, which resulted in victory and allowed Clembot to evict Xerosic from the Gym. Chespin was used again in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where it joined the fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. In [[XY137|the next episode]], Chespin and the rest of Clemont's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Chespin was sent out to battle Xerosic again alongside Ash's Greninja. After countering Crobat's {{m|Air Slash}} with Pin Missile, it dodged Malamar's {{m|Signal Beam}} by having Greninja hurl it at their opponents, allowing it to hit Crobat with an extra powerful Tackle. After Greninja defeated Crobat, Xerosic recalled his Malamar and tried to escape but was caught by Clemont's [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Chespin appeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where it was introduced to Ash's new Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Clemont Chespin gluttonous.png|thumb|250px|left|Chespin's gluttonous habit]]
Chespin is gluttonous and often goes after food, especially its favorite macarons. As a result, Chespin would keep the food for itself and refuse to give it back. When caught in the act, it is unrepentant unless coaxed. Sometimes, it would eat so much food that it would become heavy, as evidenced in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]''. Its gluttony is usually the source of conflict between it and [[Serena's Pancham]].
[[File:Bonnie and Chespin.png|thumb|250px|Chespin with Bonnie and Dedenne]]
Despite its gluttonous traits, it is also very courageous, going after {{TRT}} and respecting {{an|Clemont}} after he saved it from getting run over by [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mecha]]. It is also shown to be very determined when it repeatedly tries hitting Team Rocket's mecha despite its efforts being met with failure. In addition, Chespin has shown to be clever, as seen in ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]'', when it let itself get caught by Team Rocket on purpose so it can help {{AP|Pikachu}} escape from them. Chespin tends to be the more vocal of the group and usually displays a very happy-go-lucky attitude. In ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', Chespin was shown to enjoy the spotlight and is very confident on camera, unlike its Trainer. First shown in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Chespin has occasionally come out of its Poké Ball for various reasons, such as battling, meeting new Pokémon, or wanting to do something. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'' and ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'', Chespin has shown an interest in performing.

Chespin has shown loyalty to Clemont and shares a close bond with him, as it has been shown when it would sit on Clemont's shoulders or head. In addition to Clemont, Chespin is very good friends with {{an|Bonnie}} and enjoys playing with her.

First shown in ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'' and later ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', Chespin developed a rivalry with Serena's Pancham and would later get into several quarrels with him. Though in ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', it is shown that Chespin usually gets along with Pancham. Another time is when Chespin willingly gave up its food to Pancham in ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'' to congratulate him.

Chespin also shows an interest in being friends with [[Serena's Eevee]]. Still, its outgoing, spontaneous personality clashes with Eevee's timidness, causing her to flee behind {{an|Serena}} or {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}, and leaving Chespin dejected. Chespin's approach is no longer rejected upon Eevee's [[Evolution]] into Sylveon, making Chespin overjoyed when she accepted its encouragement for the {{pkmn|Showcase}}.

'''Serena's Delphox''' (Japanese: '''セレナのマフォクシー''' ''Serena's Mahoxy'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{an|Serena}} obtained at the beginning of her travels in [[Kalos]], given to her as a {{p|Fennekin}} by {{an|Professor Sycamore}}.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
[[File:Serena choosing Fennekin.png|thumb|250px|left|Fennekin being picked to be Serena's [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
Delphox first appeared as a Fennekin in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''. She was one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] new [[Pokémon Trainer]]s could choose from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}. In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Serena chose Fennekin to start her {{pkmn|journey}} with. Later, Fennekin chased away a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Vespiquen}} that was about to attack Serena with Ember.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Fennekin woke up with Serena at a [[Pokémon Center]] and enjoyed a large breakfast with her. Fennekin mimicked Serena's actions during their breakfast by stretching at the same time she did. Later in the same episode, she was introduced to {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} and greeted them happily.
[[File:XY021.png|thumb|250px|Fennekin making a Pokévision video with Serena]]
In ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'', Fennekin was first seen when Serena baked cookies, she mimicked her Trainer's actions again. Later Fennekin had her first battle, fighting against {{TRT}} and using Ember to blast them off. Later Serena introduced her to {{kal|Grace}}.

In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', she became jealous of [[Aria's Fennekin]] after she watched her [[Pokévision]] video. The video inspired Serena, and she and Fennekin decided to make their own. While filming the video, Pikachu accidentally spilled flour on Fennekin. This angered her and she attempted to attack Pikachu with Ember, but he dodged and Ash got hit instead. Fennekin was later captured by {{TRT}} alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} but managed to escape with their combined attacks, including her Hidden Power. Later, Fennekin hesitated to run through a large muddy puddle between herself and Serena, showing that she hates getting dirty. However, after seeing her Trainer running to save her and getting attacked by Team Rocket, Fennekin ran to protect her by unleashing a Flamethrower attack at the villains.
[[File:Serena and Fennekin Poke Puff Contest.png|thumb|250px|left|Fennekin helping Serena in a Poké Puff Contest]]
In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', Serena competed with Fennekin in a [[Poké Puff Contest]] against her new [[rival]] [[Miette]]. They made a {{type|Fire}} style [[Poké Puff]] with a branch on the top due to Fennekin's affinity for branches. Later, they went looking in a forest for ingredients but were attacked by a group of angry {{p|Swirlix}}. Fennekin tried to ward off the Swirlix with {{m|Scratch}}, but she was entangled in the Swirlix's white sticky thread and became stuck until she was rescued by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. She then drove them off with Flamethrower. Later, she combined her attack with {{TP|Miette|Slurpuff}}'s {{m|Energy Ball}} and Pikachu's Thunderbolt to destroy Team Rocket's mecha. Afterward, she helped in the final round of the Poké Puff Contest but lost to the [[Berrybaker kids]].

In ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', Fennekin had a battle against [[Shauna's Bulbasaur]]. Fennekin started off with a Flamethrower and Bulbasaur countered with an Energy Ball. Despite having the type advantage, the Energy Ball hit and Fennekin lost the battle because of the First-Touch-Rule.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Fennekin was used in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} alongside Ash's Pikachu and [[Clemont's Chespin]] against {{an|Shauna}}'s Bulbasaur, {{an|Tierno}}'s {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}}, and {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charmander}}. Fennekin started by using her Flamethrower to counter Charmander's Flamethrower so Pikachu could attack Squirtle. Squirtle managed to knock Pikachu away and hit Fennekin with a supereffective {{m|Water Gun}}. Fennekin later tried to block Squirtle's {{m|Aqua Tail}} with Hidden Power, but Aqua Tail overpowered her attack and Fennekin was defeated. She was initially disappointed after losing but later cheered up.

In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', Fennekin watched the {{to|Lagoon}} Rookie Class {{pkmn|Showcase}} with her Trainer as well as Shauna and her Bulbasaur, watching {{an|Aria}} and her {{TP|Aria|Braixen}} as well as [[Kayleigh]]'s performance, until it was interrupted by a wild {{p|Pancham}}. Later she looked for {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} after it chased after the same Pancham. She found Pancham and led Serena to it. After a while, Serena decided to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pancham since it liked performing and Serena wanted to be a [[Pokémon Performer]], so Fennekin battled Pancham. It went for a Scratch but was captured by Team Rocket, as [[Jessie]] wanted a Braixen like Aria. However, she was rescued thanks to the efforts of {{AP|Fletchinder}}, Pancham, and Chespin. After Team Rocket was sent away by Pikachu, Fennekin and Pancham battled again, although Pancham was strong and escaped the {{i|Poké Ball}} once, she defeated it with Flamethrower and Hidden Power which allowed Serena to catch Pancham. She was later seen when Serena announced her dream to Fennekin and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}.
[[File:Serena Fennekin XY060 showcase.png|thumb|250px|Fennekin in her first Showcase]]
In ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'', Fennekin performed with Pancham when Serena was demonstrating to her friends and [[Nini]]. She used Flamethrower to create fire rings while Pancham jumped through them. To end their performance, Fennekin used Flamethrower while Pancham used {{m|Dark Pulse}} to create a firestorm. Nini mentioned Pancham's movements weren't compatible with Fennekin's dance. After performing in Jessie's dancing training, she was captured along with Pancham and Chespin as well as Nini's {{p|Smoochum}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}}, in a balloon by Team Rocket, but it broke after Chespin and Pancham fought. During her escape, she was not impressed with Pancham and Chespin's squabbling, after being found by Team Rocket, she was defeated by {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s {{m|Shadow Ball}} but was saved when Chespin and Pancham, who had been squabbling for a while, temporarily teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. She was later reunited with her Trainer.

In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', she first appeared with Serena and Pancham showing off potential outfits for their first Pokémon Showcase. Eventually she participated in the first round, in which Performers had to dress up their Pokémon using the available accessories within the time limit. She competed against {{an|Blanche}}'s {{p|Meowstic}} and [[Clarice]]'s {{p|Fletchling}}. Serena dressed Fennekin in a white and pink hat and a large pink bow. When Serena walked on the runway to show off Fennekin's outfit to the audience, Fennekin tripped over the bow and fell. As a result, she and Serena were knocked out with the least amount of votes. Fennekin was upset at losing, but she comforted her Trainer when Serena started crying at the pier.

In ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]'', Serena began {{pkmn|training}} Fennekin and Pancham for their next Pokémon Showcase. It initially went well, but things changed when Pancham missed the ring of fire created by Fennekin and burned itself. The two Pokémon became angry with each other and, when another attempt failed, they started fighting. Their fighting caused Fennekin to hit Serena with Flamethrower and this angered Serena. She yelled at her Pokémon, and in her frustration, she ran away, upsetting both Fennekin and Pancham for most of the day. When she returned, she apologized to her Pokémon. After that, Serena and Aria had a [[Double Battle]], using Fennekin and Pancham against [[Aria's Delphox]] and {{p|Aromatisse}}. Fennekin struggled against Aromatisse with her Scratch being blocked by {{m|Reflect}}. After some advice from Aria, Serena combined their moves, with Fennekin using Pancham's Stone Edge to climb up and launch a Flamethrower from above. However, this was countered and overpowered by Delphox's Flamethrower, injuring Fennekin. Afterwards Pancham tried to block Aromatisse's {{m|Charge Beam}} attack on Fennekin with Dark Pulse, but it was being overwhelmed. After some words of encouragement from Serena, Fennekin [[Evolution|evolved]] into Braixen and launched Flamethrower. In contrast, Pancham launched Dark Pulse, dealing damage to Delphox and Aromatisse, but Aria was called away, canceling their battle.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Braixen was used in the {{to|Dendemille}} Rookie Class Showcase. During the Theme Performance, she was seen helping Serena bake some Poké Puffs for [[Santo|the]] [[Gena|judging]] [[Delilah|panel]]. Afterward, she was used in the Freestyle Performance, where she put on a show along with Pancham. Their performance was well received by the audience and, as a result, they got enough votes to put Serena ahead of her competitors. After that, they were declared the winners, earning Serena her first {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}.
[[File:Serena Braixen New Stick.png|thumb|250px|left|Braixen getting a brand new branch]]
In ''[[XY085|Mending a Broken Spirit!]]'', Serena, Pancham, and Braixen began to think of a strategy on what they should do in their next Showcase. During their training, Braixen's branch broke after getting hit accidentally by Pancham's Stone Edge, devastating Braixen. When the others tried to get a new one, she turned them down as she felt her branch could never be replaced since she and Serena had promised to win the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} with that branch. Upset, Braixen ran into the forest with Serena and Pancham chasing her. In the forest, Serena encountered Braixen with a disguised [[James]], who made Serena realize why Braixen was so attached to her branch. Trying to find a way to fix Braixen's stick, they went to the Pokémon Center. There [[Nurse Joy]] informed them about a 'tree surgeon' named [[Woodward]]. Serena, Braixen, Pancham, and James headed toward Woodward's workplace.

There, Woodward challenged Serena to a battle to determine her strong feelings. Braixen faced Woodward's {{p|Gallade}}. Unable to use Flamethrower, Braixen struggled, getting struck by multiple attacks. Then Team Rocket appeared to capture Pikachu. Braixen, however, attacked them and learned {{m|Fire Blast}} and defeated them after focusing her feelings, but in the process, shattering her stick. Pancham then showed a stick it had been holding onto to give to Braixen so that she could move on. Serena and her Pokémon put their hands together on the stick, making another promise to win the title of Kalos Queen, and Braixen accepted the new branch. Serena then put a bow on the branch as a sign of their promise. Serena and Woodward then continued their battle. Braixen avoided Gallade's Psycho Cut and then used her newly learned Fire Blast to deal serious damage on Gallade. Woodward then stopped the battle. Later, the gang tied Braixen's broken branch pieces together onto a young sapling so it could grow into a new life and be useful later on. Serena and Braixen made a promise to see the sapling after winning the Kalos Queen title and headed off to their next location.

In ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', after Serena won the Theme Performance of the {{ci|Anistar}} Rookie Class Showcase, Braixen, along with the others, searched for {{TP|Serena|Eevee}}, who ran away in fright. After successfully finding the missing Eevee, Braixen performed along with Serena and Pancham in the Freestyle Performance. Serena and her Pokémon danced, inspired by Eevee, before Braixen finished their performance by launching a Fire Blast in the air. Having dazzled the audience with their moves, they received the most votes, successfully earning Serena her second Princess Key.
[[File:Serena Braixen lit stick.png|thumb|250px|Braixen lighting the way]]
Braixen was sent out to battle [[Celosia]] and several {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s, alongside Ash's Pikachu and Frogadier, [[Clemont's Luxray]], and [[Sawyer's Grovyle]], to protect [[Squishy]] in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. She was later recalled when Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie fled with Squishy. In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Braixen used her stick to light the way through [[Terminus Cave]] alongside Clemont's searchlight while Luxray and {{AP|Noibat}} navigated with X-ray vision and ultrasound, respectively. She was later used to face Team Flare again, but the battle stopped when Squishy transformed to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|10% Form}} and defeated Team Flare's Pokémon.

In ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', Braixen was used in the {{to|Couriway}} Rookie Class Showcase along with Eevee, this time in the performance. She and the others comforted Eevee during the night to build her confidence. Braixen and Eevee stayed behind in the waiting room for the Theme Performance. At the same time, Serena and Pancham entered, then leapt for joy over their victory, which made them qualify for the Freestyle Performance. She performed well along with Serena and Eevee for the first part until Eevee had fallen, shocking her. After Eevee had gotten encouragement from Serena, Braixen continued the performance and finally ended it with Fire Blast again. Although they had lost, she had no hard feelings over it.

In ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'', Braixen was used in the {{ci|Fleurrh}} Rookie Class Showcase. She and Pancham participated in the Theme Performance, in which Performers had to place the highest number of {{p|Rhyhorn}} on their part of the field before time ran out, but they merely watched as the Rhyhorn came running by themselves to Serena's side. She danced alongside her teammates and ended the performance using Fire Blast combined with Sylveon's {{m|Swift}}, which formed a star briefly before exploding. After winning the Showcase, their friends congratulated her and the others with a feast.
[[File:Serena Master Class.png|thumb|250px|left|Braixen in the Master Class tournament]]
After helping Serena to get the three Princess Keys needed to compete for the title of Kalos Queen, Braixen was used in the {{ci|Gloire}} Master Class Showcase in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]''. During the first round, she was grouped with Miette's Slurpuff and [[Sara Lee]]'s {{p|Glaceon}}. Braixen used Flamethrower to create swirling flames around her and Serena while the two danced. She then finished their performance with a star-shaped Fire Blast. Her performance was well received by the audience and she received the most votes, allowing Serena to advance to the next round. In [[XY113|the following episode]], she was used in the final round along with Pancham and Sylveon. After creating beautiful sparkles by combining her Flamethrower with Pancham's Dark Pulse and Sylveon's Swift, Braixen and Serena created a ring of fire using Braixen's branch. After being lifted up by Sylveon's {{m|Fairy Wind}}, Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon combined their moves once again to create a giant blooming fire flower. Their performance impressed the crowd. However, it was not enough to defeat the opposing team, formed by Aria, her Delphox, Aromatisse and {{p|Vivillon}}, causing Aria to keep her title of Kalos Queen.

Braixen later helped to combat the giant roots that were growing over [[Lumiose City]] in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'' after Team Flare launched their attack. Later, in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' as Serena, {{TRT}}, [[Mairin]], and Professor Sycamore approached [[Lysandre Labs]], Braixen defended the helicopter from [[Mable]]'s {{p|Weavile}}'s attacks. She later battled through numerous Team Flare Grunts and their pack of {{p|Houndoom}}. In [[XY135|the next episode]], Braixen was sent out to fight against the [[Giant Rock]] to prevent it from reaching [[Anistar City]]'s {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}}. She [[XY136|later]] tried to fend off the roots to protect Serena, Mairin, and Bonnie. In [[XY137|the following episode]], Braixen and the rest of Serena's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Braixen, along with her Trainer, Shauna, Jessie, and their respective Pokémon, performed for a crowd of Lumiose citizens. She was later used in a battle against Ash and Pikachu. Immediately, Braixen was hit by a speedy {{m|Quick Attack}}. Despite trying to block an incoming {{m|Iron Tail}} with her branch, the attack proved too strong. She then launched a Flamethrower, but Pikachu dodged the attack, after which the two Pokémon clashed with Scratch and Iron Tail. Braixen then fired off a Fire Blast, successfully hitting Pikachu. The battle was then called off by Ash.

When Serena left {{ashfr|the group}} to travel around [[Hoenn]], Braixen departed with her, along with her teammates.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox at some point during Serena's travels through Hoenn. She participated in the [[Lilycove City]] [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]] alongside her teammates, and was able to help Serena tie with [[Lisia]] for first place.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Serena and Braixen.png|thumb|250px|Serena brushing Braixen's fur]]
As a Fennekin, Delphox took after her Trainer in many ways since they started journeying together. In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', she mimicked Serena when she stretched out. She takes pride in her appearance and becomes upset when her fur or tail becomes mussed or dirty. In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', she thanked {{AP|Froakie}} for cleaning her tail with the Frubbles on the {{type|Water}}'s back, and in ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', she hesitated to escape from {{TRT}} because of a large muddy puddle that blocked her path, only changing her mind after seeing her Trainer start to run across the puddle to her side. Her unwillingness to become dirty was seen again in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'' when she fled from a Corsola's {{m|Water Gun}}.

Fennekin has a bit of a temper and gets angry quickly without thinking twice, as shown in ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'' when she continuously tried to hit {{AP|Pikachu}} with her Ember attack but got Ash instead. The same episode also showed that she is easily envious, becoming jealous of {{an|Aria}}'s Fennekin's performance on [[Pokévision]], and when Ash and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} complimented the performance. The same behavior happened again in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]'', when Fennekin got into an argument with Pancham after they was practicing for the next [[Pokémon Showcase]]. When Pancham insulted Fennekin, she angrily used Flamethrower but accidentally hit Serena instead. She then felt bad and calmed down afterward. However, she is friendly towards her Trainer and is affectionate towards her. After evolving in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]'', she maintained this affection. She is also protective of both Serena and her friends. In ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'' and ''[[XY083|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]'', Braixen reacted to Clemont's excitement over [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]] and Chespin's clumsiness in a similar way to her Trainer and Bonnie.

Fennekin has extremely similar interests as Serena. In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'' and ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', she enjoyed cooking and dressing up, particularly with Serena, and has a liking for [[Poké Puff]]s and other sweets such as macarons. In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', she also likes to snack on branches, characteristic of her species. As a Braixen, she is also choosy, gaining this trait indirectly from Serena after she promised to become {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} by using her previous branch. As a result, she wasn't willing to give it up at first despite it being broken and having no other choice.

==Blurb==


Amid reports of nightmares in residents of the Sinnoh region, Professor Cerise suspects Darkrai may be involved, so Ash and Goh prepare for some research! Meanwhile, Chloe sets off on her own vacation when Professor Cerise reveals their family won’t be taking one together.

Ash and Goh’s research shows Darkrai roaming near a forest in Sinnoh, while Team Rocket is off to capture a Cresselia, located somewhere in the same forest…

When Chloe sets up camp, Dawn and Piplup appear! Although Chloe has never entered a Pokémon Contest, she agrees to go with Dawn to Eterna City.

However, things take a turn when Dawn and Chloe discover a wounded Cresselia!

==Plot==
Over [[Fullmoon Island]] in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], a {{p|Cresselia}} is being chased by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Matori Matrix]]. A blast from their airship's electroshockers hits Cresselia and hurts her, causing her to fall down. As {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s descend down to search for Cresselia, she makes her getaway by flying away from the island. On the nearby [[Newmoon Island]], a {{p|Darkrai}} senses something is wrong and also heads to the Sinnoh mainland.

Back in [[Kanto]], [[Professor Cerise]] tells {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] about incidents in Sinnoh involving people being kept awake by horrible nightmares. [[Chrysa]] and [[Ren]] agree with the Professor's suspicions about the culprit being Darkrai, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] with the {{a|Bad Dreams|ability to induce nightmares}} on people and Pokémon alike. However, Darkrai usually never leaves its residence on Newmoon Island, making the situation all the more strange. Ash and Goh agree to travel to Sinnoh to investigate, and leave the [[Cerise Laboratory]] just as [[Chloe]] comes back from her school's end-of-semester ceremony. As she heads home, she tells her father that she's looking forward to their family vacation. Being reminded of the vacation, Professor Cerise realizes he had forgotten all about it, much to his horror.

At home, Chloe is annoyed to hear that her father is unable to come along to the vacation, as he needs to keep an eye on an {{pkmn|Egg}} that's close to hatching at the laboratory. Furthermore, [[Talia]] mentions that she has an illustration work to do, and [[Parker]] says he's going on a summer camp with his friends, leaving Chloe all the more annoyed. Professor Cerise mentions how Ash and Goh had just left for the Sinnoh region, and suggests that Chloe should go there too and meet up with them. She rejects the suggestion, but still chooses to go to Sinnoh anyway, deciding to have the vacation on her own with {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}. Seeing Chloe's overpacked suitcase, Talia instead hands Chloe the [[bag]] she used to carry things with while traveling, filled with most of the essentials.

Arriving in [[Jubilife City]], Chloe starts looking around for sights to see. A giant television screen shows an interview with the legendary [[Top Coordinator]] [[Johanna]], who talks about an upcoming [[Pokémon Contest]] in [[Eterna City]]. Chloe thinks seeing a Contest sounds interesting, so she decides to head there. However, instead of waiting for a bus, Eevee wants them to walk there, which Chloe agrees to. Despite encountering mishaps like being attacked by a flock of {{p|Starly}} and getting caught in the middle of a heavy rain storm, Chloe still finds the experience enjoyable.

Meanwhile, Ash and Goh are talking with [[Officer Jenny]] about the nightmare incidents. She mentions that the nightmare cases have moved from town to town, giving more evidence to Ash and Goh's suspicions of a Pokémon being behind everything. At [[Team Rocket trio]]'s secret base, [[Matori]] is contacting them and telling them to join her on the hunt for Darkrai and Cresselia. At first, the trio is uninterested, but upon learning that this capture operation was a direct order from {{an|Giovanni}} and could result in them being promoted if they're successful, they immediately change their mind and agree to come. After ending the call, Matori muses to herself how she's actually calling in the trio just to have them take the fallout in case anything goes wrong.

Once the rain has ended, Chloe and Eevee decide to camp out by a beautiful lakeside. At first, Chloe has trouble setting up a campfire, but as the night falls, she finally succeeds and starts cooking food. Suddenly, a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} runs in and starts eating directly from the pot, only to find out that the food is still way too hot. Piplup is followed by a girl, who explains to Chloe that she had forgotten to buy food and was lured in by the scent of Chloe's cookings. She introduces herself as {{an|Dawn}}, and Chloe introduces herself to Dawn as well. When Chloe mentions that she's en route to Eterna City, Dawn reveals she's going to be taking part in the Contest there, but is surprised to find out Chloe only wants to go see it and isn't interested in participating. Dawn goes on to mention that she's participated in Contests in not only Sinnoh, but in [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], and [[Johto]] as well, sometimes traveling by herself and sometimes being {{ashfr|in a group}}. She suggests that she and Chloe could travel to Eterna City together, which Chloe happily agrees to.

Back at the Cerise Laboratory, Ash and Goh have returned to report that they were unable to figure out the cause of the nightmares. Strangely, however, Chrysa and Ren are only interested to hear if they {{pkmn2|caught}} any strong Pokémon, before suddenly revealing Team Rocket-like uniforms and performing a modified version of the Rocket trio's {{motto}}, announcing themselves as members of "Team Cerise". To Ash and Goh's shock, they suddenly find themselves wearing similar costumes, and Professor Cerise reveals himself in a dark suit, laughing evilly as he orders an all-out assault with all the Pokémon at the Cerise Park. Ash, Goh, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} suddenly jolt awake from the nightmare. Upon finding out they all had the same dream, they realize the culprit behind the nightmares must be close, and rush outside to see Darkrai nearby, before it vanishes into the shadows.

The next morning, after getting their hairs done by Piplup, Dawn and Chloe head to Eterna City. However, Dawn constantly keeps getting distracted by various things along the way, such as a clear spring, a cute {{p|Budew}}, and a field of flowers, all the while assuring Chloe that there's no need to worry. Chloe eventually grows tired of Dawn's attitude and calls her thoughtless, while Dawn calls Chloe a spoilsport in return. Meanwhile, Ash and Goh have arrived in another town, only to discover that Darkrai is no longer present there. Goh, however, has gathered the reports about Darkrai together and figured out that it seems to be circling around a certain forest, so they decide to go check it out. Above said forest, the Team Rocket trio is flying in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]] while looking down and trying to find Cresselia.

As the sun starts to set, Dawn and Chloe are still not at their destination, and they continue to berate each other's behavior. Their argument is quickly interrupted, however, as a sleep-deprived and aggressive {{p|Rhydon}} appears on their path. Chloe tells Eevee to use {{m|Tackle}}, but it fails to do much. Dawn takes over, knowing that their {{2t|Ground|Rock}}-type opponent is weak against {{type|Water}} [[move]]s, and has Piplup use {{m|Bubble Beam}}. While the attack deals notable [[damage]] on Rhydon, it still has enough energy left to counterattack with {{m|Rock Blast}}, which hits Piplup. Eevee steps in front of Piplup and uses {{m|Copycat}} to temporarily learn Piplup's move. Seeing this, Chloe has Eevee use Bubble Beam as well. The attack hits, and Rhydon collapses, having fallen asleep instead of [[fainting]]. Both Dawn and Chloe are impressed by the other's performance, and find themselves holding hands before they even realize it.

Chloe and Dawn notice a glow further along their path. Simultaneously, Ash and Goh are approaching the forest. Goh acknowledges the possibility that they may have to battle Darkrai, and Ash says they should avoid falling asleep, although having one of Cresselia's [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wings]] would be helpful too. While Dawn and Chloe approach the glow and see it coming from an injured Cresselia lying on the ground, Ash and Goh rush into the forest.

==Trivia==
[[File:JN074 AS.png|175px|thumb|The "After the story" artwork for this episode]]
[[File:Dawn Piplup JN.png|thumb|230px|Piplup's redesign]]
* [[Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!]]: {{p|Darkrai}}
* The Japanese title of this episode is a reference to {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s ''{{wp|A Midsummer Night's Dream}}''.
* {{Ash}} makes an indirect reference to {{si|Tobias}} when [[Goh]] asks him if he's met a Darkrai before, with Ash saying that it is strong in battle.
* This episode marks the first physical appearance of {{an|Dawn}} in {{aniseries|PTS}} since ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', 409 episodes earlier.
** Dawn returns to wearing her [[Pokétch]] as of this episode in place of her [[Xtransceiver]], which she wore during her last appearance in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''.
* This episode reveals that there are [[Pokémon Contest]]s held in the [[Unova]] [[region]].
** This is also the first time Dawn's journey to Hoenn is acknowledged in the dub as it wasn't mentioned during her previous return and since [[DPS01]] was never dubbed, it is also the first time it is brought up in general since that episode as well.
* {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} gains a redesign, now having blue eyes, like in the games and {{P|Piplup}}'s official [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork, instead of having black eyes as it was depicted in all previous appearances since {{aniseries|DP}}. This episode is the first appearance of this design for a Piplup in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, as another Piplup shown [[JN008|earlier in the same series]] had its original design.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in a main series episode after long absences:
** {{p|Cresselia}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'', 589 episodes earlier.
** {{p|Shinx}}, who last appeared in ''[[XY048|A Campus Reunion!]]'', 312 episodes earlier.
** {{p|Darkrai}}, who last appeared in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', 262 episodes earlier.
** {{p|Starly}}, who last appeared in ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise! ]]'', 241 episodes earlier.
* [[Chloe]] attempting to take along an overpacked suitcase and [[Talia]] giving her a more reasonably sized [[bag]] instead are references to how Dawn and [[Johanna]] did the same in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''.
* This is the only ''Pokémon the Series'' episode to feature a previous traveling companion's return where said traveling companion doesn't meet Ash at any point during the episode.
* Chloe, Dawn, Ash, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} narrate the preview for the [[JN075|next episode]].

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting the [[Sinnoh]] region's name is edited out.
* Team Cerise's logo in Ash and Goh's nightmare is changed from "S" to "R".

'''Dawn's Mamoswine''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのマンムー''' ''Hikari's Mammoo'') was the sixth overall {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Dawn}} obtained in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Dawn Swinub lazy.png|thumb|left|220px|Swinub showing its lazy nature]]
Mamoswine debuted in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' as a stray and hungry Swinub. It appeared at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s mansion from a nearby forest and always came over for something to eat. It caused trouble by devouring all of Dawn's [[Poffin]]s showing a liking to them, but caused much displeasure to Dawn's other {{DL|Dawn (anime)|Pokémon}}. However, after helping take down {{TRT}} and rescue the other Pokémon, Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her. It had a cheerful, happy personality and would often jump up and down excitedly.

While still a Swinub, it was not used very much due to its relative lack of battling and Contest experience. In ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'', Swinub watched its first {{pkmn|Contest}} when it saw Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} work together to win the [[Celestic Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. Swinub evolved into Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' after being badly hurt in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Team Rocket. After evolving, Piloswine was initially still very affectionate towards Dawn, as seen in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', where it tackled her to the floor out of affection. This affection would be short-lived, however.

Its personality drastically changed in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''. Just two episodes after evolving, Piloswine started to develop an indifference towards Dawn and became prone to [[Obedience|disobedience]]. Knowing numerous powerful attacks, Piloswine felt much stronger and more confident than it did as a Swinub. It felt that it wasn't weak and was very powerful. On numerous occasions, it tried to attack Dawn or her Pokémon. It attacked {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} for touching its fur presumptuously and tried to attack Dawn with {{m|Ice Shard}}, instead freezing half the body of {{AP|Grotle}} who tried to stop it from rampaging. Dawn agreed to have a battle with her Piloswine and Grotle. However, it ignored Dawn's commands and used {{m|Ancient Power}} instead. It later evolved again into {{p|Mamoswine}} after being attacked by Team Rocket. Unfortunately, it kept its bad behavior from when it was a Piloswine. Despite this, Dawn was still eager to train Mamoswine well.
[[File:Dawn caring for Mamoswine.png|thumb|220px|Dawn caring for an injured Mamoswine]]
In ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'', Mamoswine was injured during a battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Aggron}}. Dawn and her Pokémon used the first aid skills taught to her by Brock in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' to help Mamoswine recover and later attempted to protect Mamoswine against Team Rocket. As a result, Mamoswine gained respect for Dawn, and under her instructions, it defeated Aggron. From then on, Mamoswine retained a tiny bit of a rebellious attitude, but when Dawn was in danger, it would not hesitate to help her.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'', although it pretended not to be interested, Mamoswine helped {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} train for the upcoming [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Later during the Contest it tried to sleep instead of cheerleading, as usual. Although when Ambipom started battling [[Kenny's Prinplup]], it started to watch and eventually got completely drawn into the excitement with wide eyes.

In ''[[DP134|Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!]]'', Dawn decided to train the Twin Tusk Pokémon for her upcoming Contest. It was going well until Mamoswine stumbled and disrupted the practice flow. After being made fun of by Piplup and Pikachu, it ran off into the forest, angry and embarrassed, causing Dawn to go after it. A wild {{p|Tangrowth}} then appeared and attacked Mamoswine, defeating it with {{m|Absorb}}. Team Rocket later appeared to cause havoc, but Mamoswine successfully learned {{m|Hidden Power}} in the process of warding the trio off.
[[File:Dawn Mamoswine Daybreak Contest.png|thumb|left|250px|Mamoswine in its first Contest]]
In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Dawn used Mamoswine in its first Contest during the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]] of the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest. Earlier in the episode, Dawn taught it a trick that utilizes swallowing {{m|Ice Shard}} to create ice spikes on its back, inspired by [[Ash's Grotle]] swallowing its own {{m|Energy Ball}}. Unfortunately, during their battle against {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, it lost its temper and began rampaging out of control, resulting in a loss. However, despite Mamoswine being saddened by the loss, it was eager to begin {{pkmn|training}} again.

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Mamoswine was training to find its Contest partner. It failed to sync with both {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. It finally found its partner after it worked well with {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil|Quilava}} after a successful Flame-Ice. However, the new partners were defeated during their practice battle against [[Zoey]] after Zoey's {{p|Kirlia}} used {{m|Psychic}} to control her {{p|Leafeon}}'s {{m|Magical Leaf}}.

In ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'', Mamoswine and Cyndaquil were used for the battle round of the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. The Flame-Ice [[Contest combination|combination]] was used by Dawn in the battle against her first foe's {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Mightyena}}, but it failed due to the ice melting. In the battle with [[Ursula]], Dawn started using both Mamoswine and Cyndaquil's capabilities. Mamoswine swallowed Ice Shard, which made the fur on Mamoswine's back and head freeze into large spears of ice which cause extra damage when {{m|Take Down}} is used. It was also used in the [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] against Ursula's Minun and Plusle when Cyndaquil used {{m|Swift}} to surround Mamoswine. Cyndaquil then turned the flame on its back on as the two charged for Ursula's {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. Despite Ursula losing some points, the move failed to hit the two Pokémon. After working together to both attack and defend against Ursula's Pokémon's attacks and mastering the Flame-Ice combo, Dawn managed to win the battle, earning her fifth [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', Mamoswine was used alongside {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in the first battle round of the Grand Festival against {{TP|Ursula|Gabite}} and {{p|Flareon}}. Despite a good start, Mamoswine and Pachirisu soon found themselves struggling and Mamoswine found itself overpowered by {{p|Flareon}}'s {{type|Fire}} moves as well as a powerful {{m|Scary Face}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However Pachirisu and Mamoswine were able to pull off Dawn's newest improvised move, ''Ice Chandelier'', despite Pachirisu having originally practiced with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. As a result, both Gabite and Flareon were defeated.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Mamoswine was briefly seen helping [[Ash's Gliscor]] train its {{m|Giga Impact}}.

In [[DPS01]], Mamoswine helped fight off the horde of {{p|Ariados}} that were attacking Dawn and [[Shinko]]. Mamoswine was caught in {{m|String Shot}} and left helpless until {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}} saved it.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
[[File:BW091.png|thumb|250px|Mamoswine vs Dragonite]]
In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', after it was introduced to {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}'s Pokémon, Mamoswine was disturbed by an invisible {{an|Meloetta}} and began sniffing around for it. Later, in ''[[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]]'', Mamoswine battled [[Ash's Pignite]]. The battle ended in a draw when both Pokémon were knocked out by a collision of their attacks.

In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Dawn used Mamoswine during the second round of [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Mamoswine went up against [[Iris's Dragonite]] and hit its opponent with numerous Ice Shard attacks while Dragonite refused to dodge as he was disobeying his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Mamoswine attempted a Take Down on its opponent but was thrown across the battlefield by its tusks. Mamoswine got straight back up and landed a direct hit on Dragonite with a second Take Down. It was then revealed Mamoswine had learned {{m|Ice Fang}} when Dawn called for it as a finishing move. Dragonite began to freeze as he held Mamoswine's frozen tusks back. However, he escaped upwards and launched a {{m|Dragon Rush}} attack. The massive hit defeated Mamoswine.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Mamoswine appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]''.

In ''[[JNS03|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3)]]'', Mamoswine helped in an attempt to stop a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} from reaching [[Spear Pillar]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Dawn and Mamoswine.png|thumb|left|250px|Mamoswine and Dawn]]
[[File:DP106.png|thumb|220px|Piloswine ignoring Dawn's orders]]
Much like {{TP|May|Munchlax}} did with {{An|May}}, Swinub decided to follow Dawn for her cooking abilities. As a Swinub in its debut, it was shown to be quite lazy and gluttonous, and Dawn quickly realized it was too early to use it for battles and decided to put its Contest debut on the hold until it matured a little more.

However, some episodes later, after [[Evolution|evolving]] into Piloswine, it began to change due to its new power and newfound confidence, similar to the fate of [[Ash's Charizard]]. This became a problem, as it decided to [[Obedience|ignore]] all of Dawn's commands. The situation worsened after evolving again into Mamoswine, as it had now inherited an exceptionally violent and rude personality, attacking Dawn and her other Pokémon several times.

Even after it began to obey Dawn, it sometimes proved to be an out-of-control Pokémon, as seen in its Contest debut, where it suffered a catastrophic loss due to its short fuse. After Dawn began training for [[Double Performance]]s, it froze several of Dawn's Pokémon in trying to partner up for an appeal, albeit all were unintentional, until it found its perfect partner: Cyndaquil. After that, Mamoswine returned to its friendly personality, thus becoming a more serious Pokémon.

In battle, Mamoswine has shown to be incredibly powerful thanks to its large and powerful physique. It was shown to take Piplup's {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, and {{m|Peck}} in quick succession with no resistance at all, as well as knocking him out for the third time in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]], Mamoswine's am''azing endurance has been shown multiple times in many of Dawn's more intense battles both in and out of contests being able to fight on equal terms with tougher opponents such as [[Ursula's Gabite]] and [[Iris's Dragonite]].

Following its training with Dawn as shown in [[DP162|''Playing the Performance Encore!'']] Mamoswine has become quite mobile as it was able jump a fair distance despite its large body as noted by both [[Ursula]] and [[Marian]] during the [[Daybreak Town|Daybreak]] Contest, allowing it to be more dynamic in contests.

Mamoswine wasn't interested in watching Dawn compete in Pokémon Contests initially; instead, it just slept with a pompom on its head. Later on, however, during Dawn's battle with [[Ursula]] in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Mamoswine sparked an interest after seeing Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} use Pachirisu's {{m|Super Fang|new move}} to the fullest.

'''Ash's Infernape''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゴウカザル''' ''Satoshi's Goukazaru'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and his thirty-first overall. He was [[Original Trainer|initially owned]] by [[Paul]] as a Chimchar, but joined Ash's [[Party|team]] after being {{pkmn2|released}} in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Paul and Chimchar.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar under Paul's command]]
=====With Paul=====
Infernape was once a Chimchar owned by Paul. Prior to the events of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Paul saw Chimchar being chased by a furious group of wild {{p|Zangoose}} and followed. The situation began to look bad for Chimchar as he was cornered by a cliff's edge, but in his stress, he pulled off an extremely powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}} and defeated all of the Zangoose. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match Chimchar's normal abilities or personality, resulting in Paul looking down on him and criticizing him for being weak. Since then, Paul has been pushing Chimchar to the limit to duplicate the amazing power he saw before. Traumatized, Chimchar had also gained a morbid fear of Zangoose.

Chimchar debuted in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', where Paul used him to battle [[Ash's Aipom]]. He fought well but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' where he won against [[Ash's Turtwig]].
[[File:Paul scolding Chimchar.png|thumb|220px|Chimchar being scolded by Paul]]
In ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', Paul used Chimchar in his Gym Battle against [[Roark]] and his {{p|Onix}}. Chimchar immediately took damage from Onix's previously placed {{m|Stealth Rock}} but remained standing. Chimchar then continued to use {{m|Dig}} until Onix was knocked out, having support from [[Paul's Elekid]] and its {{a|Static}} Ability slowing Onix down. Chimchar then went up against [[Roark's Cranidos]]. Paul used the same strategy again, having Chimchar dodge and attack with Dig. However, Roark had figured it out and dealt major damage from continuous attacks from {{m|Headbutt}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, causing Chimchar to activate {{a|Blaze}}, something it turned out Paul had been waiting for. Chimchar attacked with a powered-up Flame Wheel and injured Cranidos's leg, following up with Dig, but was knocked out by a Headbutt, leaving Paul angry with Chimchar for his defeat and promising to deal with him later.

After losing to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved directing several of his other Pokémon to attack Chimchar in the hopes of recreating the power he had displayed against the Zangoose. Chimchar accidentally struck Ash with his {{m|Flamethrower}}, causing him to panic and check on the Trainer, but Ash simply complimented Chimchar on his growing strength. After both Ash and {{an|Dawn}} questioned Paul about his harshness towards Chimchar and not his other Pokémon, he explained that he was training Chimchar as he wanted, something the {{t|Fire}}-type nodded to confirm. Ash sadly tried to explain to Chimchar that there were other ways to get stronger, but a conflicted Chimchar still followed Paul to return to training when called on.
[[File:Paul training method.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar being trained harshly by Paul]]
Paul's brutal methods soon left Chimchar unable to stand, at which point Paul instructed Elekid to use {{m|Thunder}} on the defenseless Pokémon to wake it up: at this point, an angered {{AP|Pikachu}} rushed in with {{m|Volt Tackle}} to defend Chimchar from the attack, and Ash finally intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center, where [[Nurse Joy]] sternly told an impatient Paul that he would be unable to battle and that he had to be given time to recover. Paul ignored this warning, however.
[[File:Chimchar shields Turtwig Fire Blast.png|thumb|220px|Chimchar protecting Turtwig during the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]
During the next battle, Chimchar and Ash's Turtwig were pitted against a {{p|Metagross}} and a Zangoose, leaving Chimchar too afraid to attack and having to be saved by Turtwig. In contrast to the support, Paul commanded the reluctant Chimchar to attack with Flame Wheel even when Turtwig would be hit and seriously injured by the supereffective Fire-type move, which a remorseful Chimchar made up for when it acted against its fear to shield Turtwig from the Zangoose's {{m|Fire Blast}} attack. Realizing that being forced to relive the trauma of being attacked by Zangoose only frightened Chimchar instead of motivating it and activating Blaze-despite him courageously holding off Zangoose's attack-Paul gave up on the [[Pokémon category|Chimp Pokémon]], turning his back and refusing to give Chimchar further orders. However, as all seemed lost, Ash stepped in and gave Chimchar commands instead, helping him defeat Metagross with a powerful Flamethrower, and the three soon won the battle. Chimchar celebrated alongside Ash and Turtwig, but his happiness was cut short as he noticed Paul's continued silence.

Not caring for Chimchar's strengths and seeing only his failure to live up to his expectations, Paul went outside after the battle and {{pkmn2|released}} Chimchar back into the wild, before Ash and his friends arrived on the scene. As the dejected Pokémon began to head into the woods, Ash invited the Fire-type to join his team instead. Paul rudely commented that the two deserved each other: both were pathetic. Despite this, Ash encouraged Chimchar to ignore his former Trainer and told him they'd prove Paul wrong. As Paul walked away, a tearful and joyful Chimchar accepted Ash's invitation.

=====With Ash=====
[[File:Ash inviting Chimchar.png|thumb|220px|left|Chimchar being invited by Ash to join his party]]
[[DP052|Immediately after]] being released and offered to join Ash, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] arrived and kidnapped Chimchar with the extendable hand of [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]], wanting to make him part of their team. However, after Ash assured him they would help him, a reassured Chimchar acted independently and easily destroyed the mecha with a single Flamethrower, sending the trio blasting off. After being caught by Ash as he fell, Chimchar happily allowed a Trainer to catch him again.

In the final round of the competition, Paul and Ash selected {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} and Chimchar for their last battle in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' against [[Conway]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and [[Dawn's Buizel]]. During the battle, Elekid evolved into {{p|Electabuzz}}, and they both combined {{m|Thunder}} and Flamethrower on Buizel and Heracross to knock them out. This victory meant that Ash and Paul won the Hearthome City Tag Battle Tournament.

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', Ash and his friends had a picnic party. Chimchar watched as Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}}'s other Pokémon had fun playing, battling, and helping cook together. Chimchar began to have flashbacks of when he was still in Paul's possession, reflecting on how his former Trainer abused him and treated him like nothing more than a tool for battle, giving him a few minutes to eat before going back to extensive training and even putting him down as he celebrated his victories, as opposed to how Ash and {{ashfr}} treated their Pokémon like friends, caring for them and not pushing them too hard. Chimchar began to cry, relieved but overwhelmed to be treated with patience and kindness finally, something Paul failed to provide as his Trainer.

That night, Chimchar was awakened by a nightmare of Paul's training and wandered off, finding {{MTR}} alone under the stars. To Chimchar's surprise, Meowth sat and spoke with him as they looked at the moon, listening to him and encouraging Chimchar that his friends would support him. The next day, after a scheme from Team Rocket went wrong due to a pack of wild Zangoose feuding with [[Jessie's Seviper]], Chimchar was faced with the challenge of having to fight three of the Cat Ferret Pokémon to save Team Rocket and the rest of Ash and friends' Pokémon from being pushed off a cliff. Though still terrified, with his new Trainer's protection and the support of his allies and even Meowth, Chimchar was able to overcome this fear and save the other Pokémon, getting rid of Team Rocket in the process as they tried to sneak away.

In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', Ash used Chimchar in his Gym battle against the [[Veilstone City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Maylene]]. Chimchar battled {{p|Meditite}}, but was recalled after Meditite confused him. He was then sent out against {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} where he was ultimately defeated, despite a valiant effort.

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock ran into Paul, which initially caused Chimchar to hide. Ash and Paul entered an argument over their training methods which led to an enraged Ash challenging Paul to a battle, which the Trainer ignored until a spirited Chimchar ran out and barked at him, causing him to accept. After {{AP|Gligar}} was taken down, Chimchar volunteered to go up against his former Trainer, facing [[Paul's Ursaring]]. Ursaring and Paul used brutal tactics and terrified the poor Pokémon until Chimchar was pushed to the point of Blaze activating-now in a state far more intense than even Paul had seen before. Chimchar quickly and easily defeated Ursaring with a single Flame Wheel, but went on an uncontrollable rampage. Ash ran up and embraced a flaming Chimchar, begging him to stop. Chimchar continued to struggle and yell, even biting Ash in his rage, but eventually, Ash's pleading got through and Chimchar calmed down, frightened by everything that had happened. Ash assured him that Chimchar could control his power despite Paul's doubts, managing to cheer him up.

In ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', while battling [[Team Galactic]], Chimchar protected Pikachu from a {{m|Poison Jab}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. Chimchar was incapacitated for the rest of the fight and was later thanked by Ash after receiving medical treatment. {{an|Cynthia}} then comforted Chimchar about his past with Paul.

[[File:DP053.png|thumb|220px|Chimchar being comforted by Ash]]
Ash later used Chimchar to battle {{an|Barry}} in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]''. Chimchar easily defeated Barry's {{p|Staraptor}} using his superior agility. However, Chimchar lost to Barry's {{p|Roserade}} despite the type advantage.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Ash used Chimchar as his second Pokémon in his [[Hearthome City]] Gym battle, going up against [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. Chimchar used Flame Wheel, which was dodged before Mismagius used {{m|Psywave}}, hitting Chimchar. Chimchar then spun and used Flamethrower, creating a Fire [[Counter Shield]], which hit Mismagius, but was eventually broken by Mismagius' {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Mismagius later used Psywave against Chimchar's Counter Shield, but this only blocked the Flamethrower, allowing Chimchar to hit with Flame Wheel, knocking Mismagius out. Chimchar was then recalled. Chimchar was later sent out as Ash's last Pokémon to battle against Fantina's {{TP|Fantina|Drifblim}}. His Flame Wheel was countered by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but this gave Ash an idea. Chimchar then used Flamethrower but was countered by Drifblim's Will-O-Wisp and {{m|Psychic}} Counter Shield. However, this only powered up Flamethrower, making it deal massive damage. After Ominous Wind was dodged by Dig, Chimchar came from behind and grabbed onto Drifblim, crashing it into the ground. Drifblim used Hypnosis, but Chimchar countered with Flamethrower, knocking out Drifblim and earning Ash the {{badge|Relic}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was Ash's first Pokémon in his battle against [[Byron]], taking on Byron's {{p|Bronzor}}. Roark quickly identified him as Paul's Chimchar whom he had battled against before. First Chimchar used a Flamethrower, but it didn't do much damage due to Bronzor's Ability {{a|Heatproof}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}. Chimchar escaped the rain by using Dig and eventually defeated Bronzor when his Flame Wheel won out against Bronzor's {{m|Gyro Ball}}. After Ash's Buizel was defeated, Chimchar was sent out again against {{p|Steelix}}. Chimchar was still weak from his last battle and struggled to overcome Steelix's ability to shake up the ground as Chimchar used Dig. Just as Chimchar was about to be caught by {{m|Bind}}, the ground collapsed on Steelix because Dig weakened it, allowing Chimchar to finish it off with Flame Wheel. He then went up against {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}}. His Flamethrower was countered with {{m|Iron Defense}} and then {{m|Metal Burst}}, which returned the damage, knocking Chimchar out.
[[File:Ash Chimchar snowboarding.png|thumb|left|250px|Chimchar snowboarding on an ice pillar]]
In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', he was Ash's fourth Pokémon in his Snowpoint Gym battle, battling [[Candice]]'s {{p|Snover}}. After dodging {{m|Ice Beam}}, his Flamethrower clashed with her {{m|Icy Wind}}, creating water vapor. Ash told Chimchar not to panic and to sense Snover's movements. When he sensed her, he used Flamethrower, knocking her out. He then went up against Candice's {{p|Abomasnow}}. His Flamethrower was overpowered by her {{m|Blizzard}}, knocking Chimchar backward. Ash then recalled Chimchar. He was later sent out again against Abomasnow once again after {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Grotle}} were defeated. His Flamethrower was overpowered by Blizzard again, but Chimchar dodged the attack. He struggled to dodge its next two attacks. Ash then decided to rely on speed after power wasn't enough but didn't know how to go about it. After Chimchar dodged Blizzard, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Wood Hammer}}, Ash saw the ice break and told Chimchar to jump on an ice pillar. After Abomasnow broke the ice, Chimchar used a piece of it like a snowboard, increasing his speed and letting him launch multiple successful Flamethrowers. After dodging more attacks, Abomasnow became tired. Flame Wheel went against Blizzard, creating more water vapor, but Abomasnow was already knocked out. This won Ash the {{badge|Icicle}}.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Chimchar was Ash's sixth Pokémon used in the Full Battle Ash had against Paul. He was the last Pokémon that hadn't been knocked out by Paul's other Pokémon, which he still had the use of five. Chimchar quickly defeated [[Paul's Ursaring]], which had previously taken down three of Ash's Pokémon, and evolved soon after into a Monferno, immediately learning Mach Punch in the process. During the following battle against Electabuzz, he put up a very close fight but was defeated in a clash of Mach Punch and {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and badly injured, resulting in a loss for Ash.

In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Monferno, along with the rest of Ash's Sinnoh team, was under the care of [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]], suffering bodily repercussions from the rough Full Battle loss against Paul. He needed a [[Cheri Berry]] to heal, but the Pokémon Center didn't have any. After Brock went to get one by the lake, he recovered. Later, he helped rescue Pikachu from {{TRT}} by hitting them with his newly learned Mach Punch before blasting them off with Flamethrower.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', he was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Dawn against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. Monferno used Flamethrower on [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]'s Flame Wheel to defeat Lyra's {{p|Chikorita}} and defeated Khoury's newly evolved {{TP|Khoury|Croconaw}} with a Mach Punch.

[[File:Ash Infernape Blaze.png|thumb|250px|Blaze activated]]
In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Monferno battled [[Barry's Empoleon]]. After being struck by a {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and sent crashing into the forest nearby, Monferno entered once again into an uncontrollable rampage with {{a|Blaze}} but managed to control it at the last second to save Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]], Paul's Electabuzz, and Barry's Empoleon from {{TRT}}'s falling [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], evolving into an {{p|Infernape}} in the process.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Ash used Infernape in a battle against [[Flint's Infernape]]. However, despite his power and speed, he could not keep up with Flint's Infernape and was quickly knocked out with a Mach Punch.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Infernape was Ash's third Pokémon in Ash's rematch against [[Volkner]], going up against Volkner's {{p|Jolteon}}. Infernape launched a Mach Punch only to be hit with a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After dodging one {{m|Shadow Ball}}, he blocked the others with Mach Punch. Infernape was able to use Mach Punch before another Shadow Ball was launched, knocking Jolteon out. Infernape was then recalled. He was later sent out against Volkner's last Pokémon, {{p|Luxray}}. Infernape's Flamethrower drew with Luxray's equally powerful Shock Wave. Luxray then dodged his Mach Punch with {{m|Double Team}}. Though Infernape destroyed all the clones, he was hit with {{m|Thunder Fang}} but dodged a second with Dig. However, Luxray used {{m|Iron Tail}} to hit the ground, exposing Infernape and dealing lots of damage. Luxray went to finish off a downed Infernape with Thunder Fang but was interrupted by Team Rocket knocking out the power. Then Infernape's Blaze activated, initially sending it out of control, with Flamethrower hitting the wall and roof. But when Ash told Infernape to stop, he walked over to Ash and listened to him, as he controlled Blaze for the first time. Obeying Ash, he launched an extremely powerful Flamethrower but was hit by Thunder Fang, which Infernape easily countered with Mach Punch and used it again to counter Iron Tail. He then knocked Luxray out with Flame Wheel, winning Ash the {{badge|Beacon}}.

Before the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash decided he would need help from his previously caught Pokémon. Due to this, Infernape and Ash's Sinnoh party, except for {{AP|Pikachu}}, were all sent to Professor Oak's Laboratory. [[DP185|Later]] during the tournament, Ash recalled Infernape to his team and trained against [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] to improve Flame Wheel when Infernape suddenly learned {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Ash originally planned to use him in his battle against Conway along with his {{p|Torterra}} and {{AP|Glalie}}, but after Dawn said power might not be enough, he decided not to focus on sheer power and instead used different Pokémon.

Infernape was later used in [[DP186|the Full Battle]] against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he managed to [[Burn (status condition)|burn]] Aggron with Flare Blitz before defeating it with Mach Punch. Ash decided to recall him when Paul sent out his {{p|Gastrodon}}. [[DP187|Later on]] he was sent out again to battle Paul's {{p|Ninjask}}. Ninjask's {{m|Agility}} was getting the better of him, so Ash told him to use Dig and Flare Blitz, which heated up the field. This caused fire to erupt out of the ground and created a mist over the whole field, drastically damaging Ninjask but also canceling {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. After putting up a good fight, Infernape ended Ninjask's lightning speed with a Mach Punch, evening the score.
[[File:Ash Infernape vs Paul Electivire.png|thumb|left|250px|Battling Electivire at the Lily of the Valley Conference]]
Infernape was sent out once more after Pikachu's elimination against Paul's now fully evolved {{p|Electivire}} in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', as the battle came down to the final Pokémon on both sides. Infernape initially caused Electivire severe damage, but after multiple traded blows, his arm was caught by Electivire's tail, and he was shocked by a brutal Thunder attack while being held in place, causing him to collapse and the referee to begin to declare him unable to battle. Electivire stopped the referee, however, giving Infernape time to get back up. Seeing Electivire's goading and hearing Paul declare him pathetic again, an explosive Infernape finally stood and roared as Blaze activated again. With the increase in strength, he was able to give a final stand against the Thunderbolt Pokémon and push it to the limit with his attacks, leading to an explosive collision between a devastating Flare Blitz and Electivire's Thunder Punch that created a massive tornado of blue fire and electricity in the stadium. Infernape eventually overpowered Electivire's attack, and though visibly sustaining [[recoil]] from Flare Blitz, Infernape remained standing after one final stare-off as his opponent collapsed. Though worn from the battle, Infernape celebrated finally proving his strength against his former Trainer and rival, giving Ash his first victory against Paul and access to the Semifinal Round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Ash left Infernape at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Unova]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Infernape was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Ash Infernape vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|Infernape battling Moltres]]
Infernape made a return in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''. When visiting Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]], Ash learned from {{an|Professor Oak}} that Infernape had picked fights with some of his other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon before disappearing a few days earlier. When Ash and Goh went to look for Infernape, they met {{Gary}}, who told them that he was looking for {{p|Moltres}}. He also revealed to them that Infernape had continued to train on his own after Ash had left for Unova, so much to the point that he rarely saw him around his grandfather's lab. They then deduced that Infernape, intent on growing stronger, must have left the lab to find and battle the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Fire-type Pokémon.

They then traveled to a valley where Gary expected Moltres to appear and found Infernape there, calling out for Moltres. As Infernape reunited with Ash, Moltres appeared, having heard Infernape's calls. Ash used Infernape to battle against Moltres, but despite putting in his best effort, he stood no chance against the [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]] and backed down from the fight. After the battle concluded, Infernape returned to Professor Oak's Lab and shared his experience with his Fire-type comrades, making them understand his reasoning for picking fights with them.

Infernape appeared in a flashback of Ash's Gym battle with Volkner in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]''.
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|left|Infernape and Ash's Fire types celebrating with Gengar after it defeated Paul]]
Infernape, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he met up with his former Trainer and later joined Ash's other Fire types to help teach [[Ash's Gengar]] {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. After this, he watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

[[File:Ash Sinnoh Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|220px|Infernape encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]
In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Infernape was gathered with the rest of Ash's Pokémon to watch his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. He was later seen celebrating when Gengar managed to defeat Steven's {{p|Aggron}}. From ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'' to ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', Infernape watched Ash's match against {{an|Cynthia}}. During the battle, Infernape got excited when {{AP|Lucario}} entered the match. In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Infernape watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Infernape and the other Fire-type Pokémon were impressed when Leon used his {{TP|Leon|Charizard}} in battle. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Infernape appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Charizard. After Ash won the battle, Infernape joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Infernape, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Infernape was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, he, alongside {{AP|Hawlucha}}, battled [[Jessie's Gourgeist]] and [[James's Carnivine]]. He later used Flare Blitz to prevent Team Rocket from capturing Pikachu.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Infernape.png|thumb|left|250px|Infernape and Ash]]
As a Chimchar, Infernape suffered from extremely low self-esteem due to [[Paul]]'s constant scolding and harsh treatment, making Chimchar fear Paul to some extent, always feeling fear and anxiety whenever he believed Paul would punish him by not living to his Trainer's expectations. This was also briefly extended towards {{Ash}}, as when Chimchar heard Ash yell out to him, Chimchar froze in fear, believing that Ash would punish him, but was greatly surprised to find out that Ash's yelling was out of concern rather than anger. Nonetheless, Chimchar was always a sweet and kindhearted Pokémon, although he was forced to suppress and hide these emotions around Paul, as whenever Chimchar showed any emotion other than anger and ferocity, he was scolded or reprimanded by Paul. Despite this, Chimchar always did his best to please Paul, and even after all his mistreatment, Chimchar, after being released by Paul, pleaded for him to change his mind, albeit unsuccessfully.
[[File:Paul and Infernape.png|thumb|250px|Infernape and Paul]]
After being taken in by Ash, Chimchar had difficulty blending in with his new Trainer's atmosphere, as he realized that unlike Paul, his new Trainer and fellow Pokémon were always happy and helped each other, and rarely showed any signs of hostility amongst themselves. Unable to suppress his feelings any longer, Chimchar cried his heart out while being held in his arms, being overwhelmed with joy at finally being treated with love, care, and respect, and not having to suffer from mistreatment again. Since then, Chimchar's strength slowly began to increase, something that Paul always tried, but was never able to do. [[Reggie]] speculated that Paul's training methods weren't suited for Chimchar, but Ash's worked perfectly, and Chimchar quickly became one of Ash's most used and powerful Pokémon in Sinnoh.
[[File:DP081.png|thumb|left|220px|Chimchar's Blaze Ability going out of control]]
One of the keys to Chimchar's power Paul sought was his {{a|Blaze}} Ability, something his first Trainer would push him to exhaustion to draw out; even going so far as to trying to make him relive the stress of its traumatic experience being cornered and outnumbered by {{p|Zangoose}}. However, when Chimchar faced down Paul and his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} for the first time under Ash's care, Blaze emerged again with a drastically different new appearance, with Chimchar's eyes glowing red and his flames growing larger than his entire body. Ash, who had witnessed the Blaze Ability from other {{t|Fire}} types and watched it activate in Chimchar's battle with [[Roark]], described it as unlike any Blaze he had seen prior, and {{an|Brock}} noted to {{an|Dawn}} during this explosive Blaze's first appearance that they could be witnessing his full power. However, possibly as a result of his past experience of being pushed to his limit and of Blaze activating under immense stress, this incredible dormant power came with a drastic personality change; Chimchar went completely berserk, attacking anyone and anything that stood in his way, friend or foe. This anger and rage caused Chimchar to lose any common sense, such as nearly fatally wounding his own Trainer, and it took Ash a large amount of effort and pain to finally calm him down the first time he entered this state, after which he was shown to be frightened.

Chimchar's fear of his repressed power remained a lingering insecurity for quite some time, as Ash refused to willingly activate Blaze in battle. While this worked to raise Chimchar's morale in the short term, it also left his special power unstable and volatile; this did not change after he evolved into {{p|Monferno}}, as when Blaze activated in a battle against [[Barry's Empoleon]], he lost control yet again, greatly endangering his Trainer by enveloping him in flames. However, he ultimately overcame this issue to save his friends from being crushed by Team Rocket's mecha, evolving into {{p|Infernape}} in the process. Paul, who had witnessed the whole situation, noted that Infernape had turned the energy from Blaze into a new power, unlocking the true potential of his abilities. Infernape's control over his power was solidified in his battle against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Luxray}}. With the trust of his Trainer, he managed to retain his common sense and still listen to Ash's commands while Blaze was activated, finally gaining mastery over the incredible power its former Trainer had once tried to force.

[[File:Ash Infernape great power.png|thumb|250px|Infernape unleashing his overwhelming power]]
After reaching his final evolved stage, Infernape gained an immense amount of fighting spirit, becoming fired up and determined to defeat strong opponents while also always looking forward to battling an opponent stronger than himself, wanting to surpass his own limits and enhance his skills. Infernape is also incredibly feisty and resilient, capable of withstanding many powerful attacks and still continuing battling, even as far as thriving while feeling pain. Infernape uses the pain and exhaustion to motivate himself to continue battling and ultimately achieve victory. As noted by Reggie, Infernape's personality almost completely matches Ash's, which is why they are a perfect match for one another. He still retains some of his childlike and excitable personality from when he was a Chimchar, shown especially when he hugged Ash and let his Trainer spin him around after emerging victorious in the Gym battle Volkner, and like when he was a Chimchar, always takes any advice and motivation he receives, even from his enemies, such as {{MTR}}.
[[File:Ash Infernape Paul Electivire.png|thumb|left|250px|The rivalry between Infernape and Electivire]]
From the moment they met, Infernape and {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} had an intense rivalry, even from their days as a Chimchar and an {{p|Elekid}}. When both were under Paul's command, Elekid always looked down on Chimchar, thinking of it as inferior to itself and feeling pleasure whenever it belittled him. Over time, however, Electivire grew to respect Infernape's increasing power; as an {{p|Electabuzz}}, it was surprised yet amused and glad to see that Chimchar had evolved into Monferno during their battle at [[Lake Acuity]], with Ash's Pokémon also returning the respect towards Paul's. Infernape and Electivire's growing mutual respect for the other's strength reached its peak during their final battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]; when the referee was about to declare Infernape unable to continue, Electivire angrily stopped him from ending the fight and taunted Infernape to get back up, even though Infernape's loss would mean Paul winning the battle. It seemed extremely delighted to see Infernape returning to its feet, wanting to prolong their battle for as long as possible. After Infernape bested Electivire, it was visibly smirking at seeing Infernape on top, and finally viewed Infernape as its equal.

Since being left at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Infernape continued his training by challenging all of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon to battles, and even went out of his way to challenge the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Moltres}} upon hearing of its rumored appearance. Despite this, Infernape gets along with Ash's Fire types and usually hangs out with them. Infernape also formed a friendship with {{AP|Gengar}} when it began training with the Fire types for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. He appeared to be Gengar's main training partner during Ash's visit before the tournament, helping it learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and cheering over its victory against Paul. During that same visit, Infernape was shown to have moved past his and Paul's once-strained relationship, accepting his former Trainer's orders and happily bidding him farewell.

* The [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured at the end of [[DP067]] is about Ash's Chimchar. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about him: 「ヒコザルは　やればできるこ　がんばるこ」 "''{{tt|Hikozaru|Chimchar}}, you can do it if you try, so keep trying.''"
* Infernape is the only Pokémon owned by {{Ash}} who was previously owned by a recurring [[rival]].
* Infernape was the first Pokémon belonging to a rival to have a confirmed gender outside of [[gender differences]] and single gender species.
* Infernape is the only Pokémon [[Released Pokémon|released]] by Paul to have appeared in more than one episode.
* Infernape is Ash's first:
** {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to fully [[Evolution|evolve]] under his ownership since {{AP|Charizard}}, which evolved in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', 583 episodes earlier.
** First partner Pokémon to reach its final evolved form outside of Kanto.
** {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon since {{AP|Heracross}}, which was caught in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', 479 episodes earlier.
** Fighting-type Pokémon to reach his fully evolved form while under his ownership.
*** If [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|Pokémon that cannot evolve]] are not counted, he would be the only one to do so until {{AP|Riolu}}'s Evolution in ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', 501 episodes later.
* Chimchar's Evolution into Monferno was first revealed in a Japanese movie poster for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', and Monferno's Evolution into Infernape was first revealed in [[The Greatest - Everyday!]].
* Chimchar took the longest to evolve out of all of Ash's Pokémon that evolved in the same [[series]] that they were caught in, taking 129 episodes to evolve into Monferno.
* Infernape is the only one of Ash's Sinnoh Pokémon that has been seen battling outside of {{aniseries|DP}}.

==Blurb==

Serena joins her friends Shauna and Nini in the Anistar City Pokémon Showcase! The Theme Performance is a Pokémon quiz, which knocks Nini out of contention. Shauna, Serena, and Jessilee (Jessie in disguise) move on to the Freestyle Performance.

Jessie’s performance includes a loud fireworks display that sends Eevee running for cover! Serena can’t perform until she finds Eevee—fortunately, the sound of her voice soon brings it out of hiding. Shauna and Serena give remarkable performances, and Serena wins her second Princess Key!

As soon as the Showcase is over, Tierno and Shauna run off to help their friend Trevor. Ash’s Gym battle is next on our heroes’ journey!

==Plot==
{{ashfr|The group}} arrives at the [[Pokémon Showcase]] theater after oversleeping the previous night. {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Tierno}} wonder if {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Shauna}} have made it in time, while [[Jessie]] is also running late. Shortly after, Serena and Shauna meet up with the others, confirming that they barely made it and apologize for making them hurry. Both are determined to win the Showcase. Serena brings {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} out, asking it to watch their performance, but Eevee is quickly overwhelmed by the presence of so many people and hides. The others promise to look after Eevee with Clemont sending out {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} to watch over it, but {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} appears as well, scaring Eevee much to Chespin's disappointment.

[[Monsieur Pierre]] opens the {{ci|Anistar}} Showcase Rookie Class as the {{pkmn|Performer}}s all dress up in graduation robes for the Theme Performance. To Serena's surprise, [[Nini]] is also participating, and Serena introduces Nini and Shauna to each other. Nini is amazed to meet Shauna in person, having enjoyed watching Shauna's previous winning performance. While she admits to not having won a {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}} herself, Nini promises to win the current Showcase.

Pierre explains to the audience that the Theme Performance will be in the form of a Pokémon Quiz, declaring that a Performer needs to possess both beauty and intelligence. The Performers' Pokémon will race against each other to earn their Performers the right to answer questions asked of them, and the Performer who answers three questions correctly first will move on. Clemont is intrigued by this different style of Showcase while Ash remarks on its difficulty.
[[File:XY091 Serena VS Nini VS Lily.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena, Nini, and Lily]]
Serena, Nini, and {{kal|Lily}} are in the first group, where their Pokémon must retrieve a ball embedded in rock and bring the ball back first. The first question asks about Eevee's {{type|Fairy}} evolution. [[Serena's Pancham]], Nini's {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and Lily's {{p|Solrock}} race to the rocks and begin breaking them, with Pancham securing the ball first and running back, but fumbles while on the way. This gives Farfetch'd the opportunity to reach the finish line first, giving Nini the chance to answer first. Unfortunately, she incorrectly answers with {{p|Espeon}}, Eevee's {{type|Psychic}} evolution. As Pancham crossed the line second, Serena is next to answer, which she does so correctly with {{p|Sylveon}}. In the following questions, Serena obtains two more correct answers and Nini obtains one, which makes Serena the Performer to move on to the Freestyle Performance. Serena's friends praise her for doing so well. Despite losing, Nini wishes Serena luck, asking that she win the Showcase for both of them. Separately, [[Shauna's Ivysaur]] helps Shauna qualify by being the fastest to load a basket of {{Berries}}, allowing her to answer her final question correctly and move on. To {{MTR}}'s chagrin, he has to scale a sheer rock surface to grab a floating scroll for Jessie (as Jessaline) to qualify in her round. He begins to slow down, but after noticing a {{p|Sneasel}} overtake him, he reminds himself of having to face Jessie's fury if he fails, and pushes forward to beat Sneasel to the punch. Jessie answers her final question correctly, qualifying her to move on. In the audience, [[James]] and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} cheer for her.

Before the Freestyle Performance, Shauna and Serena change into their new costumes and encourage each other, declaring that neither of them will hold back. Shauna performs first, with her {{p|Flabébé}} scattering {{m|Fairy Wind}} around and Ivysaur using {{m|Vine Whip}} to suspend Shauna in mid-air, so she floats beautifully through the sparkling mist. Serena and the others watching are impressed with how Shauna carries herself. Jessie is up next, with {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} using its light to cast an eerie shadow on the stage while Jessie dances. Eventually Jessie orders Gourgeist to use {{m|Seed Bomb}}, which explodes into fireworks that captivate the audience. However, Eevee is startled by this display and falls off its seat without anyone noticing, and runs back to the main foyer in its panic, hiding under some seats. Eventually, Bunnelby notices this and alerts the others, who run out to search for Eevee. Serena spots them running by and Ash informs her of what happened, much to her horror.

Serena pleads with the security attendant to let her outside the restricted area to search for Eevee, but the attendant notes that Serena's performance is up soon and if she fails to make it in time, it will mean instant disqualification. The others encourage her to go perform, but Serena refuses, saying that she's worried about Eevee. Seeing this, Eevee tries to leave its hiding place but changes its mind as people walk right by it. The attendant finally relents, promising to try and have Serena's schedule changed. Everyone runs into the main foyer, calling for Eevee. Watching Serena's worried expression and the concern everyone is showing, Eevee eventually overcomes its fears and dashes out into the open towards Serena. Serena reunites with Eevee, and Eevee encourages her to return to her performance, as do the others.

Finally, Pierre introduces Serena as the last Performer. Serena begins by having {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} and Pancham leap away from each other, with Braixen releasing fire from its branch and Pancham beating the fire away with {{m|Arm Thrust}}, dispersing it as sparkles. The three of them begin dancing in the same style as Eevee, with a flashback revealing that Serena requested Eevee to teach them its dance moves so Serena can incorporate them into her performance. In the audience, Serena's friends begin swaying with Serena's groove, excited by her performance. Pancham eventually uses {{m|Stone Edge}} on the floor, summoning rock pillars for Braixen to dance off before it finally uses {{m|Fire Blast}}, launching a fire formation that explodes and sends glittering sparkles all over the audience. The theater cheers wildly for Serena while Eevee watches, awestruck.

With the Freestyle Performance over, Pierre asks the audiences for their votes. In the end, Serena receives the most votes, with Shauna coming in second and Jessie in third. Serena is awarded with the Anistar Princess Key, much to her delight. Shauna congratulates Serena, while Jessie is furious at her loss. James and Wobbuffet are likewise unhappy, knowing that Jessie's failure won't bode well for them.

Outside, Serena and Shauna regroup with the others, with Serena asking Eevee if using its moves helped them put on a great performance. Elsewhere, Jessie continues to fume over her loss. Meowth eventually points out that Jessie did come in third place, which cheers her up. She decides to work on her routine right away for the next Showcase. Although James and Meowth groan at the prospects of more work, they cheer up as well since Jessie's mood improved.

In the [[Pokémon Center]], Serena and Shauna note that they both only need one more Princess Key to qualify for the Master Class. Serena points out that Ash's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} is next, for which he is pumped over. Tierno suddenly rushes in, informing Shauna that {{an|Trevor}} lost track of his belongings while taking pictures again, which the group points out is typical for Trevor. Tierno and Shauna decide to regroup with Trevor, saying their goodbyes to Ash's group.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Title Card Serena V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode]]
* In the Japanese version, the [[title card]] segment focuses on, and is read by, {{an|Serena}}.
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Jumpluff}}
* Serena, {{Ash}}, and [[Charlene]] narrate the preview of the [[XY092|next episode]].
* Serena and {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} wear the same outfits they wore in the {{ci|Coumarine}} {{pkmn|Showcase}}, however Serena's dress was upgraded to have a longer collar.
** Braixen's hat has also been changed and resembles Serena's second similar to how it originally matched her first one.
* Serena's Braixen and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} remain outside of their {{i|Poké Ball}}s throughout the episode.
* This is the first time that the [[Pokémon Quiz]] uses a Pokémon that appears in clothing accessory. In this case, Serena's Pancham was featured in this quiz, even though Pancham was already featured in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', 78 episodes ago.
** The quiz also featured Serena's Braixen wearing its aforementioned outfit, as well as [[Serena's Eevee]] wearing the flower crown it was given in its [[XY089|debut episode]].
* The [[Pokémon Performer]]s who own the {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Litleo}}, and {{p|Lickitung}} alongside with {{an|Blanche}} also appeared during the Coumarine and {{to|Dendemille}} Showcases in ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'' and ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', respectively.
* [[DreamDream]] is used as an insert song in this episode.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
** {{p|Solrock}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', 375 episodes ago.
** {{p|Munchlax}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', 325 episodes ago.
** {{p|Nidoqueen}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', 284 episodes ago.
** {{p|Mightyena}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'', 262 episodes ago.
* This episode's English dub title was not revealed until after the two [[XY092|following]] [[XY093|episodes]]' titles.
* The "Ekans swallowing a Mamoswine" scenario is a reference to ''{{wp|The Little Prince}}'', in which a boa constrictor swallowed an elephant.

===Errors===
* After Serena brings {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} out and Eevee gets scared, she runs to hide right behind Serena. However, in the next scene, Eevee is further away from her.

===Dub edits===
* [[DreamDream]] is replaced with an instrumental version of [[Be a Hero]].

{{spoilers}}

==Plot==
After concluding her {{pkmn|journey}} with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}} returns home and has to decide which of {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} to take with her on her journey to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. The morning after, [[Johanna]] goes to Dawn's bed and tries to wake her up, only to find that Dawn had already woken up. Johanna goes outside to check if Dawn is there, and sees that Dawn is {{pkmn|training|practicing}} with {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Cyndaquil uses a {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Flame Wheel}} [[Contest combination|combination]] which impresses Johanna. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} tells Cyndaquil that he does a better job, and they start fighting each other. Dawn had to step in and break it up. Johanna suggests to Dawn that have a practice [[Contest Battle]]. {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} begin the battle by doing a {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}} combination, while Piplup and Cyndaquil respond with a Swift and {{m|Bubble Beam}} combination. Johanna is very impressed by their combination. Glameow uses {{m|Fake Out}} on Piplup to make him [[flinch]]. Johanna lets Dawn know that she is impressed by their combinations that they worked hard on. Cyndaquil and Piplup show off a new Contest move that they have been working on. Piplup uses {{m|Whirlpool}} while Cyndaquil uses Flame Wheel which create a cool shiny rotating ball effect. The move does not work properly when they try to open it up to create a sparkling effect, and the Pokémon fall to the ground. Piplup and Cyndaquil blame each other and once again begin fighting, leading Dawn and Johanna to decide to call the battle off.

Dawn explains to her mother that they have been practicing hard, but now feels she should start another journey. Johanna tells Dawn that, although she will obviously miss her daughter, it was probably a good idea to start traveling and learning on the road again. Dawn tells her mother that she has already decided on her next destination: the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], the birthplace of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, as well as the home region of Contest Master [[Wallace]]. However Dawn is torn over another important issue; although she had originally decided to begin a fresh start in Hoenn and take only Piplup, she feels through training with her other Pokémon that she still needs to bring out their full strength, so doesn't know who to take and who to leave with [[Professor Rowan]]. [[Izzy and Cara]] arrive and ask Dawn how she has been doing since it had been a long time since they've seen each other. They both hand Dawn some vegetables to take with her on her journey.

Back at home, Dawn notices that her [[bag]] is moving and Cyndaquil pops out indicating that it wants to go with Dawn on her journey. Dawn admits to her mom that she is still undecided, and her mom suggests that she go see Professor Rowan and ask him for advice. On her way to the Pokémon lab, Cyndaquil and Piplup continue fighting and Dawn tells them that they must stop. Meanwhile, at the lab Professor Rowan and his assistants are doing a health check on a {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Shinx}}, {{p|Budew}}, and {{p|Cherubi}}. All of the Pokémon pass the health checks. Dawn arrives and asks Professor Rowan for advice about who to take with her on her journey to the Hoenn region. Professor Rowan tells her that there is a young lady that is having trouble making a decision of her own with which [[first partner Pokémon]] to choose.

Meanwhile, in another part of the lab, Shinko is writing down notes about each of the three first partner Pokémon. All three first partner Pokémon are flattered by her comments. {{p|Chimchar}} attacks Piplup with {{m|Ember}} and Piplup fights back with Bubble Beam which misses and breaks a window. Piplup and Chimchar both escape through the window, {{p|Turtwig}} stays in the room, and Shinko freaks out about the situation. Everyone hears her screams and rushes inside to see what the problem is. Shinko explains what happened, and Dawn calms her down and says she will go find the Pokémon. Shinko asks Dawn if she could go with her so she could take down notes and Dawn says yes. While trying to find Piplup and Chimchar, Shinko tells Dawn that she is a big fan of hers and has seen her Contests. Dawn gives her some tips about how to approach Pokémon that ran away and are scared. Dawn and Shinko see Chimchar in the trees, and before they can go after it, the other Piplup jumps in front of them and attacks Chimchar. Piplup and Chimchar run off and by the time Dawn and Shinko reach them, they see that they are caught in a web spun by an {{p|Ariados}}. Dawn scans the Ariados with her [[Pokédex]]. Cyndaquil uses Flame Wheel to break the spider web and set them free. Piplup gets a bump on its head from the fall and looks displeased about it instead of grateful for being rescued.

More Ariados appear in a large group on a large spider web connecting with the trees. Ariados begin attacking everyone with {{m|Poison Sting}}. Dawn brings out her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} to attack the Ariados together. After all of their attacks hit, the Ariados are knocked down to the ground. Everyone thinks that they are out of danger but all of a sudden a {{m|Psychic}} stops them in their tracks. They notice that there is a {{Shiny}} Ariados hiding in the trees that is using the attack. The other Ariados use {{m|String Shot}} to tie everybody up. The Ariados move in but Cyndaquil breaks its threads and evolves into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}. Dawn scans {{p|Quilava}} with her Pokédex. The Shiny Ariados hits Quilava with its Psychic and Quilava is barely able to move. Quilava uses Swift to break everyone's threads but the Shiny Ariados again ties it up with String Shot. Quilava uses {{m|Eruption}} to break through the threads and attack all of the Ariados, sending them flying. Professor Rowan arrives to make sure everybody is okay and they head back to the lab.

At the lab, Shinko tells Dawn and Professor Rowan that she has decided to study the first partner Pokémon some more before making her decision on which Pokémon to choose. Dawn tells Professor Rowan that she has decided to bring all of her Pokémon with her on her journey to the Hoenn region to allow her to bring out their full power and form stronger bonds with all of them. Dawn boards a boat and waves good-bye to everyone as she heads off to the Hoenn region and new adventures.

'''Dawn's Quilava''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのマグマラシ''' ''Hikari's Magmarashi'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Dawn}} obtained as an {{pkmn|Egg}}, and her seventh overall in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].

==History==
==={{aniseries|DP}}===
[[File:Dawn and Quilava.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava and Dawn]]
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Dawn battled {{an|Lyra}} in the [[Johto Festival]] and defeated her. As a prize, Dawn was given an {{pkmn|Egg}}, which was soon taken by {{TRT}}. While it was in [[Team Rocket]]'s possession, it showed signs of hatching. When Dawn finally got it back, it hatched right in front of her eyes, revealing it to be a Cyndaquil.

In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', Cyndaquil met [[Dawn's Piplup]]. Cyndaquil, due to its shyness, ignored Piplup. This annoyed the Penguin Pokémon, which only grew worse when everyone praised Cyndaquil after its first official battle. The two then fought for the rest of the episode, forming a rivalry between them.

In'' [[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Cyndaquil showed its interest in [[Pokémon Contest]]s after watching Dawn practice with her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} by trying to mimic it with the flames on its back. It was shocked and upset when Dawn told it that it could not compete in the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest with her.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', when Dawn and Ash had a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]] inside the {{DL|Lilypad Town|Lilypad Colosseum}}, Cyndaquil was paired with [[Ash's Monferno]] to battle Lyra's {{p|Chikorita}} and [[Khoury's Totodile]]. It was able to defeat Chikorita with a Flame Wheel combined with Monferno's Flamethrower.

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Cyndaquil was used in a [[Double Battle]] together with [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]. After using the "Flame Ice" combo, it failed to execute it all of the way and [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Leafeon}} defeated it, along with Mamoswine with a {{m|Magical Leaf}} combined with {{p|Kirlia}}'s {{m|Psychic}}.

In ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'', Cyndaquil was used in the two-on-two Contest Battles of the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest alongside {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}. Both of them managed to defeat [[Ursula]]'s {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} in the finals, earning Dawn her fifth and final Ribbon.
[[File:DP174.png|thumb|250px|left|Cyndaquil and Buneary in the Grand Festival]]
In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', Cyndaquil was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. Their performance started with Buneary using {{m|Ice Beam}} to create a large frozen path resembling a roller coaster. Cyndaquil proceeded with Flame Wheel, rolling over the path and melting a trench for Buneary to slide on. After that, Buneary charged an Ice Beam and Cyndaquil used Smokescreen in order to cloak themselves above a large frozen spike. When the smoke was blown away, Buneary was seen inside a {{i|Poké Ball}} made of ice with Cyndaquil standing on top, impressing the [[Contest Judge]]s and securing Dawn a place among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', Cyndaquil went up against [[Jessie|Jessilina]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the semifinals of the [[Grand Festival]] along with Buneary. Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance Dawn to the final round.

In [[DPS01]], Cyndaquil was used in a [[Double Battle]] alongside Piplup against [[Johanna]]'s {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, but when Piplup and Cyndaquil unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination, the battle was stopped due to them fighting. Cyndaquil then helped Dawn rescue a {{p|Piplup}} and a {{p|Chimchar}} that had escaped from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab from a group of {{p|Ariados}}. It became injured when it took a {{m|Poison Sting}} meant for [[Shinko]]. It was able to overcome its injury by [[evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Quilava}} and was able to defeat the leader of the group, a {{Shiny}} Ariados, with its newly learned move, {{m|Eruption}}.
[[File:BW093.png|thumb|250px|Quilava battling Pikachu]]
==={{aniseries|BW}}===
In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', after it was introduced to Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}'s Pokémon, Quilava brushed up to Ash, as a means of both greeting him and revealing that it had evolved.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Quilava was used to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It first hit Pikachu with Swift before dodging his {{m|Quick Attack}} and stopping {{m|Electro Ball}} with its newly learned {{m|Flamethrower}}. Quilava then covered the field in Smokescreen before stopping Pikachu's {{m|Iron Tail}} and landing a direct hit with Flamethrower. After their Flame Wheel and Quick Attack clashed in midair, {{an|Cynthia}} stopped the match.

==={{aniseries|JN}}===
Quilava appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]''.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Piplup Cyndaquil rivalry.png|thumb|250px|Cyndaquil's rivalry with Piplup]]
[[File:Dawn Cyndaquil contest practice.png|thumb|250px|left|Cyndaquil copying Mamoswine's Contest move]]
As a Cyndaquil, it developed a [[Friendship|strong bond]] with {{an|Dawn}} from the moment it hatched from its {{pkmn|Egg}}. Prior to entering its first [[Pokémon Contest]], it grew interested in watching Dawn train {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}}, often showing Dawn its own variations of the moves that she was practicing with them, and sulked when it was not chosen to compete.

[[Dawn's Piplup]] appears to be jealous over the attention that it gets, though this may be attributed to the fact that Cyndaquil wasn't very responsive to Piplup at first. Piplup often attacks it and it in turn fights back, causing frequent squabbles between the two. They seem to be trying to compete for superiority over the other. These fights have stopped ever since Cyndaquil evolved.

It has a tendency to flare up its back when it's happy or when it's showing affection, and Dawn usually ends up getting burned in the process.

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Twinleaf Town]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. Her goal is to become a great [[Top Coordinator]] like her [[mother]], [[Johanna]]. Her {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] in the [[DP001|first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

She returns in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', as a veteran Coordinator, who became friends with [[Chloe]] and assisted Ash during several crises involving [[Team Rocket]] and [[Team Galactic]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Dawn.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn during her childhood]]
Dawn grew up in [[Twinleaf Town]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region with her mother, [[Johanna]], and was inspired to become a [[Top Coordinator]] just like her. Sometime later, she attended a kindergarten class, where she met her friends {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]]. She also knew {{an|Barry}} and [[Noelle]] from before leaving [[Twinleaf Town]], but it is unclear how and when Dawn first met them.

In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Dawn revealed the story behind her nickname, '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). She explained that she, Kenny, and Leona had been selected as the week's Pokémon caretakers at their kindergarten, and were responsible for looking after the school's pets, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. While Kenny and Leona cleaned down the pen, Dawn hugged the two {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} tightly and received an electric shock as a result. This caused Dawn's hair to fizz out and sparkle, earning her the nickname "Diamond Dandruff" or "Dee Dee" for short. From then on, many of her classmates called Dawn by this embarrassing nickname. This led to Dawn developing a fear of Plusle and Minun.
{{-}}

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Dawn debut.png|thumb|250px|Dawn's [[DP001|debut appearance]]]]
Dawn began her [[Pokémon journey]] with an overconfident {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. She wasn't able to gain his trust at first, but after rescuing him from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}, the two became friends. Unlike {{an|May}}, she knew from the beginning that she wanted to follow in [[Johanna|her mother]]'s footsteps and be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. After meeting {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, she decided to travel with them, as their experience would likely be helpful to her. Like Ash, she saw a [[Legendary Pokémon]] at the start of her journey, the projected soul of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

When Dawn began her journey she took a [[bicycle]], but like {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed it with his {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until [[DP038|more than thirty episodes]] after it happened, yet only to acknowledge it as an honest accident due to a desperate situation, and didn't hold it against either Ash or Pikachu. Dawn had also planned to take a large suitcase full of clothing with her, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality. Instead, Dawn took a [[Bag|backpack]] her mother had prepared for her. Johanna also gave Dawn the first [[Ribbon]] she earned as a Coordinator as a good luck charm, an item that would recur throughout the series as a symbol of Dawn's determination.

Upon arriving in [[Jubilife City]], Dawn registered for a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. She also obtained a [[Ball Capsule]] and some [[Seal]]s and introduced her Contest cry, which is "Spotlight!" in the English dub and "Charm up!" in the original Japanese version. Dawn lost her first [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'' to [[Zoey]], who became one of her closest friends and greatest [[rival]]s. After her loss, an upset Dawn called her mother, but Johanna told Dawn not to rely on her and instead rely on friends and Pokémon. Eventually, in Dawn's [[DP027|second official Contest]], she was able to narrowly beat her childhood friend {{si|Kenny}} to win her first Ribbon.

[[File:Dawn Contest debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Dawn in her first [[Pokémon Contest]]]]
Dawn regularly {{pkmn|training|trained}} her Pokémon and took the opportunity to practice her skills with Zoey whenever the two met, such as in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Zoey was always helpful to Dawn during their meetings and helped inspire her to come up with new [[Contest combination|combinations]]. However, even with Zoey's help Dawn was not able to perfect {{AP|Buizel}}'s [[Ash's Buizel#Moves improvised|Ice Aqua Jet]] despite coming up with the idea. Ash later accomplished Ice Aqua Jet in the [[Wallace Cup]], after Buizel had been [[trade]]d to him.

In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Dawn felt confident but lost in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest. In the {{to|Solaceon}} Contest, which took place in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she did not pass the Performance Stage for the second time in a row, due to being overzealous with {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} appeal out of desperation to make up for the previous loss. This marked a notable change in Dawn's character. After the second blow to her self-esteem, she didn't know what to do and was still very upset throughout ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. After this, she became more focused and regained her confidence after {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She also began to practice in earnest for all her Contest's performances and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. Following Zoey's advice to show off the Pokémon and not its [[move]]s, Dawn was able to pass through the first round in the Wallace Cup and eventually break her losing streak by narrowly defeating May in the final round of the competition in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. Since this turning point, Dawn has maintained her focus and humility.

After learning of the upcoming Contest in [[Celestic Town]], Dawn became very dedicated in her training to the point of overworking her Pokémon in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. Due to her intense efforts, she managed to win the Contest in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''. One of Dawn's combinations in that Contest inspired one of {{Ash}}'s notable tactics, the [[Counter Shield]]. In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} began to disobey her after [[Evolution|evolving]]. Despite this, she was still eager to train it well and finally gained its trust after healing it in ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]''. However, Mamoswine still rebelled and disobeyed Dawn after it was hit by an attack and lost its temper in the semifinals of the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''. Even though this caused Dawn to lose, she remained calm and optimistic that she and Mamoswine would be victorious the next time.

Dawn traveled back home with Ash and Brock for the annual [[Twinleaf Festival]] in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''. Dawn went on to compete against her mother in a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]]. Johanna's {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} versed [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Although Johanna won the match with relative ease, she was impressed by Dawn's teamwork and complimented her. The homecoming helped Dawn to regain her focus, especially after a venture into her own subconscious in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''. Once the festival ended, the group left Twinleaf Town at the end of ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''.

Her encounter with Mesprit, like Ash and Brock's encounters with {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}} respectively, proved to be fate as [[Team Galactic]] intended to capture the [[lake guardians]] to awaken {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} at [[Spear Pillar]]. The lake guardians communicated telepathically with Ash, Dawn, and Brock, and {{m|teleport}}ed them to the [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic Headquarters]]. With the help of {{an|Cynthia}}, the three Trainers foiled Team Galactic's plans and freed the lake guardians in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Dawn and her friends watched Zoey compete in the [[Brussel Town]] Pokémon Contest. Zoey was victorious, and [[Candice]] brought over an array of desserts to celebrate. During their meal, Candice introduced the [[Tamato Berry]] Ice Cream Sandwich, describing it as "hot and spicy on the inside and cold on the outside", and saying that oftentimes things that don't seem to go well together are actually the most compatible. The dessert and Candice's words inspired Dawn to create a new combination using {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s. After many failed attempts, she perfected her technique called Flame Ice, which involved Cyndaquil using {{m|Flame Wheel}} while being encased in Mamoswine's {{m|Ice Shard}} attack. She used this move later in the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

Dawn revealed the story behind her nickname, "Dee Dee", to Ash and Brock in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', though [[Ursula]] happened to overhear the conversation. In the final round of the Daybreak Town Contest, Ursula battled Dawn using her {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} and deliberately had her Pokémon shock Dawn's hair to recreate "Diamond Dandruff". Even though Dawn temporarily succumbed to her trauma, she was able to overcome her inhibition with Mamoswine's and Cyndaquil's encouragement. Ultimately, she defeated Ursula, winning her final fifth Ribbon as well as the opportunity to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

She later trained in ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' where she came up with a new tactic for the [[Grand Festival]], the Ice Chandelier, which she managed to perfect by trial and error. Though she originally wanted to see Pachirisu use its Discharge attack while surrounded by Mamoswine's Ice Shard, she eventually decided to cover Pachirisu in a larger bubble of ice from Buneary's {{m|Ice Beam}}. This gave Pachirisu enough room to run, making Ice Chandelier look its best. Besides coming up with combination moves, she also acquired a new Pokémon, {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. Dawn trained with Togekiss in ''[[DP172|With the Easiest of Grace!]]'' to find a way to battle with it while not ignoring its need to move gracefully, and she was eventually able to adjust her own battling style to accommodate her new Pokémon.

Dawn entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', using her Buneary and Cyndaquil in the Appeals Round. She progressed through the round and battled [[Ursula]] first in [[DP175|the next episode]]. With Mamoswine and Pachirisu she was able to successfully use her combination Ice Chandelier to defeat [[Ursula's Gabite]] and {{p|Flareon}}. In the [[DP176|following episode]], she defeated [[Jessie|Jessilina]] and progressed to the [[DP177|finals]]. Dawn would face Zoey in the final round, which fulfilled the promise the two had made with each other after their first Contest to someday meet in the last round of the Grand Festival.

It was a very evenly matched and close fight between her Piplup and Togekiss and [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}}, but in the end, Dawn lost. After the finals, she met with her mother and returned the Ribbon Johanna had given her as a good luck charm at the very start of her journey. Dawn said that she no longer needed to walk in her mother's shadow, and only needed her Pokémon's care and support to become a Top Coordinator, proving to her mother and to herself how much she had grown as a Trainer.

[[File:Zoey and Dawn.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn and her main [[rival]], [[Zoey]]]]
After the competition, Zoey told Dawn that [[Candice]] was throwing a victory party for her in [[Snowpoint City]] and that Dawn was also welcome; however, Dawn declined the invitation, stating that she still wanted to support Ash in his upcoming battle at [[Sunyshore Gym]] and in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. She then thanked all the Pokémon that had traveled with her through Sinnoh for their hard work and pledged to not give up her dream of being a [[Top Coordinator]].

After Ash competed in the [[Sinnoh League]], she contemplated whether or not to go with Ash and Brock to [[Kanto]]. However, she received an invitation by [[Paris]] for her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to work with her for a short while as a Pokémon fashion model and decided to stay in [[Sinnoh]]. Dawn and Ash later shared a final high-five, their trademark exchange throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', before Ash and Brock left for Kanto.

After Buneary's modeling work with Paris was completed, Dawn decided to spend some time at home before considering her next move on her journey to become Top Coordinator. In [[DPS01]], Dawn decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region, since Hoenn is the region Contests originated from. However, though she was certain she would take Piplup, she did not know if she should take all of her other Pokémon with her to Hoenn or not. She sought advice from Professor Rowan, who instead sent her to help a new Trainer who was having trouble deciding what her first Pokémon would be. Dawn and [[Shinko]] ran into an {{p|Ariados}}'s web, reminiscent of the first challenge Dawn faced with Piplup. Dawn's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in order to protect the two Trainers, and it was then that Dawn realized all of her Pokémon still had the potential to grow with her. She decided to take all her Pokémon to Hoenn with her and soon left on her new adventure with her dream of becoming a Top Coordinator burning as bright as ever.

Dawn briefly appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Dawn in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'']]
In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', it was revealed that Dawn had traveled to the [[Unova]] region and was staying in Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]] while the {{pkmn|Champion}} was visiting [[Virbank City]]. Dawn later reunited with {{Ash}} and his new friends, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, whom Dawn met for the first time. She also battled Cilan, using her Piplup against his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, but because the battle was interrupted, no winner was identified. She became good friends with Iris when they traveled to the [[Deserted Island (BW087)|Onix Island]] in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', where she playfully agreed with her that Ash is a little kid, and was surprised by the unfamiliar Pokémon native to the Unova region, such as {{p|Foongus}}.

Before coming to Undella Town, Dawn had visited [[Nimbasa City]] where she watched a [[Pokémon Musical]] and one of [[Elesa]]'s fashion shows. She also revealed that she would enter the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn later made it to [[BW091|the second round]] before her Mamoswine was defeated by [[Iris's Dragonite]], despite the fact that Dragonite still wasn't listening to Iris's orders.
[[File:Dawn heading to Johto.png|thumb|250px|left|Dawn heading to the [[Johto]] [[region]]]]
Later, in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', she met {{un|Cameron}}, along with Ash, Iris, and Cilan. When they arrived at Cynthia's villa in Undella Town, she announced her intention to head to [[Johto]] to compete in the Wallace Cup being held there. After battling Ash, using her Quilava against Ash's Pikachu, and saying their farewells, she and Piplup boarded a flight to [[Blackthorn City]].

Dawn later appeared during a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.
{{-}}

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Dawn and Chloe first meeting.png|thumb|250px|Dawn meeting Chloe for the first time]]
Dawn reappeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', where she met up with [[Chloe]] when Piplup tried to eat some of the food she was preparing. As the two camped out in a forest, Dawn revealed that she was participating in the Sinnoh Contest circuit again, having already competed in Contests in [[Hoenn]], Johto, and Unova, and was due to compete in the upcoming [[Eterna City]] Pokémon Contest. Upon learning Chloe was also on her way to Eterna City to watch the Contest, Dawn suggested they should travel there together. The two later worked together to fight off an enraged {{p|Rhydon}} that had been sleep-deprived due to {{p|Darkrai}}'s nightmares, before coming across an injured {{p|Cresselia}}.

In ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', she tended to the injured Cresselia and showed Chloe how to perform in a contest. After getting attacked by Team Rocket and getting saved by Darkrai, she reunited with Ash and also met [[Goh]]. Together they fought off [[Matori]] and her group, the [[Matori Matrix]] and were aided by Darkrai, but got captured. After getting saved and Cresselia healed Darkrai, she bid farewell to the two Pokémon. Later, they were seen playing on a beach.
[[File:Alternate and Main Dawn.png|thumb|250px|left|Dawn and Alternate World Dawn]]
In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', after her Piplup was stolen by someone who looked exactly like her, Dawn called Ash, who traveled to Sinnoh with Goh and Chloe to help. Following an attack by [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], Dawn and Goh traveled to an alternate world version of Sinnoh, where they met [[Alternate World Dawn|Dawn's alternate world counterpart]], an accomplished Trainer who once placed second in the Sinnoh League. After recovering Piplup from her, Dawn and Goh learned that this world's Pokémon had started to [[Devolution|devolve]] recently due to unknown reasons. Based on her past experiences, Dawn figured {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} could be responsible.

In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Dawn and Goh reunited with Ash and Chloe, and decided to investigate the devolutions. They eventually learned that Alternate World Team Rocket had locked Dialga and Palkia into a battle using a [[Red Chain]] in order to steal the devolved Pokémon. After Team Rocket had been defeated, Ash, Dawn, Goh, Chloe, and their alternate selves prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to stop Dialga and Palkia's battle. Responding to their desperate pleas, a shape of Arceus emerged from the Red Chain and made the artifact disappear. Dialga and Palkia then reversed all the devolutions and sent Ash and his friends back to their own world.

Dawn reunited with Ash and Goh again in ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', meeting them at the [[Sinnoh Festival]] in [[Canalave City]]. After being given a quick lesson of Sinnoh's past by Cynthia and a chance to experience using recreated ancient {{hi|Poké Ball}}s, the group learned of suspicious activity on [[Mount Coronet]] and headed out to investigate.
[[File:Dawn and Chloe.png|thumb|250px|Dawn and Chloe cheering for Ash in the Masters Eight Tournament]]
In ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]'', the group encountered Brock, who joined them. It eventually turned out that the suspicious activity was caused by Team Galactic's project to bring back [[Cyrus]], which had resulted in a {{p|Heatran}} going on a rampage. In ''[[JNS04|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4)]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Goh, assisted by the lake guardians, managed to stop the rampaging Heatran.

In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', Dawn was shown in a flashback about the Wallace Cup, alongside May. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.

Dawn reappeared in ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', where it was revealed she traveled to [[Galar]] with Chloe to watch Ash's match against {{an|Leon}} in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] finals. After Ash became the winner of the competition and became the new Monarch of the [[World Coronation Series]], Dawn attended the awards ceremony.

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

===Character===
[[File:Johanna and Dawn.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn and her mother]]
Dawn grew up inspired by her mother's achievements and from a very young age decided that she wanted to be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. She takes immense pride in what [[Johanna]] was able to accomplish and this is reflected in her determination to follow in her footsteps and become a respected [[Top Coordinator]]. As a kid, she would help Johanna prepare [[Poffin]]s for her Pokémon, something which led Dawn to discover the perfect recipe for her own Pokémon years later.

Dawn is notable for her confidence since she almost always tries to look towards the future rather than dwell on her mistakes. In the Japanese version, Dawn's catchphrase is "Daijōbu!", which can be translated as "It'll be fine!" or "Don't worry!". Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!".
[[File:Dawn Poffins.png|thumb|220px|Dawn's [[Poffin]]s]]
In stark contrast to {{an|May}}'s inexperience and self-doubt at the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Dawn was overly confident and assured in her own strength at the beginning of her journey. Because of this, she became emotional after she was eliminated from Pokémon Contests, and often cried after losing. After failing to pass the Performance Stage two times in a row, Dawn became depressed. In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Dawn remembered these failures and had to excuse herself so she could cry. These behaviors were completely opposite those she had exhibited at the beginning of her journey, something {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} took notice of. Their encouragement was not enough to renew her psyche though, and it was not until she defeated May to win the [[Wallace Cup]] that she truly regained her confidence and focus. After this point, Dawn took on a more positive and determined personality. In addition, she became more mature. Instead of reverting to her old headstrong and confident attitude, she became more aware of her faults and how she could work to overcome them. Dawn was also more aggressive than May whenever she had to confront {{TRT}}.
[[File:Ash Dawn reunion BW.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn and Ash]]
Dawn has a close relationship with Ash, and they often share a high five when one of them accomplishes something. Throughout their journey, they were very supportive of each other, usually training together and pushing one another to become better versions of themselves. Sometimes when Ash challenged a [[Gym Leader]], Dawn would wear her cheerleading outfit and perform a routine alongside her Pokémon to encourage him. In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', upon noticing how disappointed in himself Ash was for losing a [[Full Battle]] against Paul, Dawn presented a circus act to cheer him up.

A key example of Dawn's growth and maturity occurred in ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'', in which she was separated from Ash and Brock and her Mamoswine's leg was badly injured. Instead of panicking or trying to force Mamoswine to continue walking, Dawn thought back to lessons Brock had given her about Pokémon care. She recalled that the sap of a plant could help soothe pain and called upon her Pokémon to search for it. Dawn applied the sap, wrapped the wound, formed a bed of leaves for Mamoswine, and gathered food and {{Berries}} for it to eat. Dawn was ultimately rewarded as she gained her Mamoswine's respect and loyalty. Dawn's actions go deeper than that though, they are evidence of her growth as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and person.
[[File:Dawn catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|220px|Dawn after {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a Pokémon]]
Over the course of her journey in Sinnoh, Dawn was able to come up with various combinations to show up her Pokémon's looks and strength. This began with something as simple as making her Piplup's beak grow longer when using {{m|Peck}}, a technique she used even until the end of the Grand Festival. She later followed with simple spinning, which her Piplup and Buneary first practiced for a while in [[Oreburgh City]]. The spinning move was adapted by Ash in his first [[Gym]] battle in Sinnoh. Later on, Dawn began experimenting with more complex combinations, such as Flame Ice and Ice Chandelier. After a lot of practice, Dawn's Pokémon were able to master these combinations in battle. Coincidentally, both of these moves were used to defeat [[Ursula]].

Dawn also had a fear of {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, after the Cheerleading Pokémon that her class had when she was younger shock her hair and her childhood friends, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]], started calling her Diamond Dandruff, Dee Dee for short. Ever since, Dawn would get annoyed when Kenny and Leona would call her Dee Dee, and would panic if her friends, especially Ash, asked them as to why they call her that, due to the nickname being part of her fear of Plusle and Minun. Dawn would also freak out whenever she sees a Plusle and Minun, as shown in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', when she got frighten when she saw Ursula's Plusle and Minun, and fainted when they sparkled her hair. However, through her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}'s encouragement in the ''[[DP162|next episode]]'', Dawn overcame her fear of Plusle and Minun, and was no longer bothered in being called Dee Dee.

[[File:Dawn brushing hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn brushing her hair]]
Originally, Dawn had great concern about her appearance and would not show herself to Ash or Brock until she felt that her appearance was acceptable. In fact, Dawn often slept in a tent while Ash and Brock slept outside. However, after ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'', Dawn began to sleep outside as well and was less concerned with her appearance in front of Ash and Brock. This may have been an indicator that she had become more focused as a Trainer and Coordinator, paying more attention to her Pokémon and less attention to her looks. Even so, whenever Dawn knew she was going to be on camera, she would pause to brush her hair, such as in ''[[DP174|Last Call - First Round!]]'' when {{si|Rhonda}} wanted to interview her for her broadcast of the Grand Festival.

Dawn also has an interest in fashion and often reads the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. In ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', Dawn revealed that she was the one to design {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s vest, but also admitted that her mother was the one to sew it. In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', she demonstrated her talent for designing again, sketching many different outfits for the [[Hearthome Collection]]. Though she was initially unsure about her creations, she set her mind on designing simple dresses and accessories after realizing the actual role of a [[Pokémon Stylist]]. For that, she was praised by [[Hermione]], who said Dawn has the true spirit of a Stylist.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Dawn Party.png‎|thumb|250px|Dawn's current [[party]]]]
Most of the Pokémon that Dawn {{pkmn2|caught}} were cute and small like her starter, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

Initially, due to her lack of experience, Dawn had difficulties dealing with her Pokémon properly. For instance, she would often bicker with Piplup and her Pachirisu would hit unwanted targets with its {{m|Discharge}}. Even later on in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', after most of her Pokémon had become obedient, her Mamoswine had a tendency to get angry and disobey her. It was not until ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'' that Dawn was fully able to manage all of her Pokémon. Despite the many issues she had at first, Dawn always deeply cared for her Pokémon, especially for Piplup.

As a Pokémon Coordinator, Dawn trained her Pokémon for both [[appeal]]s and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. Because of this, she learned to utilize her Pokémon's capabilities creatively. For example, she trained Buneary to use {{m|Ice Beam}} various ways, which proved helpful in the many Pokémon Contests she participated in. She was also able to pull off successful combinations with her Togekiss in the finals of the Grand Festival, despite not having trained it for very long compared to her other Pokémon.

This is a listing of Dawn's Pokémon. Pokémon listed as "on hand" have been seen during ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn rivals.png|thumb|380px|Dawn's recurring rivals as seen in [[The Greatest - Everyday!]]]]
* Dawn is the first main character other than {{Ash}} to:
** Own an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
** Battle an [[Elite Four]] member and challenge an official [[Gym]].
* Dawn is the first female main character to:
** Not be related to a [[Gym Leader]].
** Not have siblings.
** Own a Pokémon that habitually disobeys her.
** Hold a full team of six Pokémon consistently, and the second overall to hold a full team, the first being {{an|Misty}}.
* Dawn is the only main character to receive a Water-type starter as her first Pokémon.
* Dawn is the first traveling companion to have the new [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]]-style eyes.

* Dawn has competed in at least one [[Pokémon Contest]] in each [[region]] where they are known to be held in the anime, with the exception of the [[Kanto]] region.
* Dawn is the only main character to be mentioned in the summary of the Japanese opening themes along with Ash.
* Dawn is the only character that traveled with Brock that has never pulled him away from a girl.
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, if the [[player character]] is {{ga|Lucas|male}} and their [[starter Pokémon]] choice was {{p|Turtwig}}, after they have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] ten times, {{ga|Dawn|Dawn's game counterpart}}'s team consists of fully evolved members of Dawn's anime team, excluding replacing {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} with a {{p|Bellossom}}.

(Japanese: '''ビット''' ''Bit'') is a {{p|Cinderace}} that [[Casey Shield]] owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and her sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} overall. He is level 35.

==History==
[[File:Casey and Bit.png|thumb|left|150px|Bit and Casey]]
Bit debuted in ''[[PASS01|Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon]]'' as a Scorbunny. He was first seen watching {{Henry}} do maintenance on [[Lancelot]]'s leek. [[PASS02|Later]] that day, he was used in a mock [[Max Raid Battle]] to help teach [[Marvin]] about battling.

In ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]'', [[Professor Magnolia]] accidentally ran over a group of {{p|Drednaw}}, angering them. Scorbunny helped fend off the Bite Pokémon, using his speed to dodge their attacks and giving one a {{status|burn}}. The weakened Drednaw tripped over its ally, causing it to crash into Scorbunny, resulting in a double knockout.

In ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]'', a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s tried to destroy the uniforms Casey and Henry received for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Henry and Casey knocked the Grunts into a nearby [[Pokémon Den]], forcing them to work together in a Max Raid Battle with a wild {{p|Gurdurr}}. Scorbunny used his flames to heat Gurdurr's steel beam, leaving it too hot to hold. Lancelot defeated the defenseless Gurdurr, allowing Henry to catch it.

In ''[[PASS07|Blinding!! The End of the Battle]]'', Scorbunny was used in Casey's [[Gym]] battle against [[Milo]], where he emerged victorious after a close match.

In ''[[PASS09|Splish Splash!! Gigantamax Battle]]'', Casey was revealed to have won her second Gym battle against [[Nessa]]. Due to Scorbunny [[evolution|evolving]] into Raboot and Nessa's {{p|Toxapex}} and Drednaw being worn out from their earlier battle with Henry, Raboot was able to win despite the large disadvantage.
[[File:Casey Raboot Sordward and Shielbert battle.png|thumb|120px|left|Bit attacking Sordward and Shielbert's Pokémon]]
In ''[[PASS11|Gulp Gulp!! Pokémon]],'' Casey was approached by [[Hop]], who reported he may have found Casey's missing {{p|Arrokuda}}, Kilo. They rushed to find Kilo, only to find him being swallowed by a wild {{p|Cramorant}}. With help from Hop's {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Pincurchin}}, Casey and Raboot freed Kilo and reunited him with his Trainer.

In ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]'', Raboot was one of the three Pokémon Casey brought to use in her Gym battle against [[Allister]], where he ended up being defeated.

In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', Raboot was used in Casey's Gym battle against [[Opal]], where he ended up being defeated.

In ''[[PASS19|Crunch!! Snowy Battle]]'', Casey mistakenly believed [[Gordie]] was attacking Henry and Marvin and rushed to defend them. She had Raboot, Twiggy, and Sniffler use a combination attack to defeat Gordie's {{p|Stonjourner}}. They apologized afterward after realizing that Gordie meant no harm.

In [[PASS23]], the group was attacked by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], the thieves who stole Casey's Pokémon. Raboot attacked Sordward's {{p|Golisopod}} and Shielbert's {{p|Bronzong}} with a {{m|Flame Charge}}, destroying the communication devices attached to them. This allowed the group to discover where the brothers were hiding.

In [[PASS31]], Casey decided that with her team fully reunited, she would give Raboot the nickname Bit. He was then used to battle [[Klara]]'s {{p|Venipede}}, easily defeating it with a single Flame Charge.

In [[PASS34]], while Henry was training {{TP|Mustard|Kubfu}}, it got overwhelmed by a group of wild {{p|Skwovet}} and {{p|Greedent}}. Bit, alongside Twiggy and Sniffler, protected it from the Greedy Pokémon. All three evolved during the fight.

==Personality and characteristics==
As a Scorbunny, Bit was generally seen smiling and upbeat. After evolving, he retained his friendliness, though became reserved in his expressions. He tends to get more serious during battles, often lighting the pads of his feet on fire as a Scorbunny. Bit is able to sense when his friends are in trouble, shown when he ran off to help [[Sniffler]] during its fight.

'''Alain''' (Japanese: '''アラン''' ''Alan'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] seeking to defeat all [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} using [[Alain's Charizard|his Mega Charizard X]]. He initially appears as the main character of the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] side-series, working under the instruction of [[Lysandre]] to collect Mega Evolution energy. He later appears in the [[S19|XY&Z]] arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' as a [[rival]] to {{Ash}}.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', he was revealed to have become one of the eight best Trainers in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]]. Alain was also revealed to have become a [[Mega Stone]] researcher.

==In the anime==
===History===
{{spoilers}}
====Pre-series====
[[File:Alain Sycamore Assistant.png|thumb|left|250px|Alain as Sycamore's assistant]]
In the past, Alain was {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s [[Professors' aides|assistant]], and it was Sycamore who initially inspired him to begin seeking [[Mega Stone]]s in order to solve the mysteries of Mega Evolution. At this time, Alain already owned a {{TP|Alain|Charmander}}. Some time after leaving Professor Sycamore's laboratory, Charmander evolved. After reporting to Professor Sycamore, he came to a nearby ruin in search of [[Ampharosite]], but discovered that the raw Mega Stone had been taken by [[Lysandre]]. Alain battled Lysandre for ownership of the stone, but his {{p|Charmeleon}} was soundly defeated by [[Lysandre's Pyroar]].

Alain was then invited to [[Lysandre Labs]], where Lysandre revealed his intention to harness the energy Pokémon produce when they Mega Evolve, for peaceful purposes. He also claimed that if Professor Sycamore were to publish the secrets of Mega Evolution, mankind would find a way to use those secrets to nefarious ends, and said that he would not allow the Professor's name to be tarnished. Asking if Alain would assist him, Lysandre revealed a metal attaché case with a [[Mega Ring]] and [[Charizardite X]]. Believing he could protect the Professor this way, Alain accepted Lysandre's proposal.

====''[[Pokémon The Series: XY]]''====
=====Mega Evolution Specials=====
Some time prior to ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', Charmeleon evolved into a {{p|Charizard}}. Alain was first seen in ''Mega Evolution Special I'' battling a Trainer named [[Astrid]], and defeated her Mega {{p|Absol}}. The battle was secretly watched by [[Mairin]], a beginning Trainer who was sent out on a journey by Professor Sycamore. Mairin was so impressed with his strength that she began following him. From Mairin, Alain learned of [[Ash Ketchum|a Trainer]] who [[XY002|lept off of Prism Tower to save a Pokémon]]. Next, Alain received a call on his [[Holo Caster]] from [[Lysandre|a mysterious person]], who directed him to a location with ruins to retrieve a Mega Stone. After getting the Mega Stone, Alain was confronted by a Trainer named [[Remo]] who was also looking for the Mega Stone. Remo challenged him with a Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, but Alain won the battle and kept the Mega Stone.

Afterwards, he helped Mairin {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Flabébé}}. He then traveled with her to a restaurant where [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] was working as a chef and challenged him to a battle. Charizard put up a good fight against Siebold's {{p|Blastoise}}, but when Blastoise Mega Evolved, it overwhelmed Charizard using a {{a|Mega Launcher}}-boosted {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Accepting his defeat, Alain continued his journey to battle more Mega Evolved Pokémon and complete more assignments from Lysandre, now with Mairin as a traveling partner.

[[File:Alain and Mairin.png|thumb|250px|Alain and Mairin]]
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', he traveled to [[Hoenn]] with Mairin, where he met {{Steven}}. Noticing each other's [[Key Stone]]s, the two Trainers recognized each other as Trainers with Mega Pokémon. Accepting Alain's challenge, Steven and his {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} fought a fierce battle with Charizard before the battle was interrupted by Lysandre.

Deciding to cooperate with the Hoenn {{pkmn|Champion}}, Alain and his company traveled to their destination, a small temple with two pillars in the center. When Alain and Steven held their Key Stones to the monument, a staircase of light appeared to lead them further within the ancient ruin. There, they discovered a similar mechanism that summoned a glowing [[Giant Rock]] from underneath the ruin. After Lysandre and his research team began analyzing the giant stone, a {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}} appeared from the sky, Mega Evolved into Mega Rayquaza, and started wreaking havoc on the surrounding area. Alain, Steven, and their Mega Pokémon partners tried to fend off the [[Legendary Pokémon]], but were overwhelmed. After an attack from Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}}, the Giant Rock was revealed to have disappeared, causing Rayquaza to leave. Alain, Mairin and Steven then proceeded to [[Rustboro City]] on Lysandre's orders as energy waves, believed to be the Giant Rock's, were detected near the city's coast.

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', after landing at [[Devon Corporation]] via helicopter with Mairin, Alain received confirmation from Steven and Lysandre that [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} were set to battle each other near Rustboro City to claim the Giant Rock's energy, putting the entire world at risk. Alain and Steven volunteered to fly to the point where the super-ancient Pokémon would meet to analyze the situation. Despite Mairin's attempts to make Alain stay, he refused, saying he had to keep his promise to Lysandre to become the strongest. As Mairin continued to press him, Alain began to lash out at her, saying she knew nothing about his goals. After calming down, Alain walked away from Mairin, telling her to go back to Kalos.

On Steven's aircraft, Alain and the Champion approached a large energy reading that Devon Corp. staff and Lysandre confirm to be the Giant Rock. The two then witnessed Primal Kyogre surface, who began engaging Primal Groudon. After the Primal Pokémon exchanged blows, Alain received private orders from Lysandre to protect the Giant Rock at all costs until it fully materialized. Alain then opened the aircraft's door and sent out Charizard, and triggered its Mega Evolution. Following Alain's lead, Steven and Metagross followed suit, volunteering to attack Kyogre. While Charizard was initially able to stop Groudon from reaching the Giant Rock, it was eventually struck by {{m|Precipice Blades}}, causing it to fall from the sky to a glacier created by Kyogre's {{m|Ice Beam}}.

[[File:Alain anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Alain excited during a battle]]
Alain immediately rappelled from the aircraft onto the glacier, and rushed to Charizard's side, digging it out from chunks of ice. Noticing its tail flame dying, Alain recalled Charizard to rest. Alain was then blown back from an explosion caused by Groudon and Kyogre's battle. Thanks to Steven's order to descend the aircraft, Mairin and [[Chespie]], who had stowed away, were able to exit the aircraft's rear and help Alain. As Groudon's {{m|Solar Beam}} caused debris to fly towards the three, Steven's Metagross dove in front to guard the three with {{m|Protect}}. While Metagross continued to fend off Groudon and Kyogre, Mairin brought an unconscious Alain to shelter. Alain then woke up to witness Mega Rayquaza return and single-handedly defeat Groudon and Kyogre. A submarine sent by Lysandre then surfaced and proceeded to take in the Giant Rock by blinding Rayquaza with flash missiles. Lysandre deemed the mission a success, and Rayquaza retreated. With the skies cleared, Alain approached Mairin and thanked her.

However, back at the Devon Corporation headquarters, Mairin was told by Steven that Alain returned to Kalos without her, as staying with him would put her in danger. Alain was shown then to be back at Lysandre Labs, where Lysandre thanked him for his help. While Lysandre told Alain he had earned a rest, Alain insisted on continuing his training with Charizard, recalling how they were defeated by the super-ancient Pokémon of Hoenn. He was last seen with Charizard, battling a nameless Trainer and his Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} under Lysandre's supervision.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain fought ten Trainers with Mega Evolved Pokémon in a row under the condition that he had to return his Mega Stone and Mega Ring to Lysandre had he lost to one of the Trainers. Despite not being able to rest between battles, Alain was able to defeat the first nine Trainers. During the middle of the challenge, he was reunited with Mairin again, but he still refused to let her travel with him. As she continued to press him, Alain lashed out at Mairin, telling her he couldn't get stronger with her around, greatly upsetting her. After an upset Mairin had walked away and told Chespie she wanted to be alone, Chespie walked in on an experiment which subsequently overloaded, exposing Chespie to near-fatal levels of the energy produced as part of the experiment and causing it to fall into a coma.

Later, Alain fought [[Malva]] of the Elite Four as the final Trainer. Alain pitted his Charizard against Malva's Mega {{p|Houndoom}} and after a hard-fought battle, he was able to defeat her. After the battle, he went to see Mairin from behind a corner. Upon finding out about Chespie and hearing a broken, sobbing Mairin begging Lysandre to assure her that Chespie would wake up, he started to blame himself. Believing that the Mega Evolution system would restore Chespie's health, Alain set out to complete it in order to bring back the cheerful Mairin he knew. After leaving, a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}} stopped him and they had a battle.

=====Main series=====
Alain made his main series debut during a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', where he was revealed to have found a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gible}} that eventually became Professor Sycamore's partner Pokémon, Garchomp.

Alain made his physical main series debut in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', where he was briefly seen walking past Ash and {{ashfr}}.
[[File:Ash and Alain.png|thumb|250px|Alain and Ash]]
In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', while passing by Ash's battle with [[Sawyer]], Alain took notice of [[Ash's Greninja]]'s [[Bond Phenomenon|unique transformation]] and was intrigued by it. The next day, he saved [[Ash's Pikachu]] from {{TRT}} and introduced himself to Ash and his friends. He then requested to battle Ash's Greninja, to which Ash agreed. Alain held the upper hand against Ash and Greninja with his Charizard, which he eventually Mega Evolved as he wanted to draw out Greninja's full power. Once Greninja did transform, Alain was surprised to discover it wasn't a Mega Evolution, as his Mega Ring didn't respond. Ash-Greninja managed to battle Charizard on more even grounds, but was still defeated. Afterwards, Alain and Ash introduced themselves, just before he thanked Ash for the battle and left.
[[File:Team Flame battling Z2.png|thumb|250px|left|Alain and Charizard helping Team Flare capture Z2]]
In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', he was sent by Lysandre to help [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] in their mission to capture [[Z2]] when they were having a hard time. Alain and Charizard were an even match for the Zygarde and distracted it long enough for [[Team Flare]] to use their specialized weapons. After they captured Z2, Aliana and Mable recognized him as working for Lysandre.

In ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', Alain noticed Ash and {{an|Clemont}} battling, during his visit to the [[Pokémon Center]]. After reuniting with the group, he had a rematch against Ash. First, he battled his {{AP|Noivern}}, using his newly revealed {{P|Metang}}. After a close battle, Alain's Metang won after a decisive clash between its {{m|Metal Claw}} and Noivern's {{m|Acrobatics}}. Afterwards, Alain agreed for him and Charizard to have a rematch against Ash's Greninja. At first, the battle played out very similar to their previous one, but after Charizard Mega Evolved, Greninja showed its improvement by started getting a few hits in. When Charizard retaliated, Greninja transformed into Ash-Greninja and proved itself Charizard's equal, making Alain feel excited to face such a strong opponent. In the closing stages of the battle, Greninja managed to land a power {{m|Cut}} attack which smashed Charizard onto the ground, to Alain's surprise.

Before the battle could be finished, however, Ash collapsed from exhaustion, much to Alain's concern. Alain remained with the group until Ash recovered, after which he once more thanked Ash for a good battle. He was then asked by Ash if he was planning on entering the [[Kalos League]], and when he said that he was not, Ash questioned as to why, since there would be plenty of strong opponents to battle against. To this, Alain commented that it would certainly be interesting, and then departed. Later on, Alain had a brief video chat with a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} and was glad to see that Mairin was doing fine. He would afterwards reminisce on his time working with Sycamore alongside Charizard before reiterating his desire to get stronger and protect those that he cares most for.

The conversation with Ash had apparently inspired Alain to enter the Kalos League and collect [[Badge]]s. He was seen battling for his final Kalos Badge in the introduction to ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', where he was shown battling {{an|Korrina}}'s {{TP|Korrina|Mega Lucario|Lucario}} with his Mega Charizard X. The result of that battle was shown at the end of ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', where he defeated her and earned himself the {{badge|Rumble}}, fulfilling his requirement for entry into the Kalos League. When asked by Korrina if he was going to enter the League, he confirmed, saying that he was planning on entering in order to battle Ash, whom he did not mention by name to her.
[[File:Alain Lumiose Conference.png|thumb|250px|Alain in the Lumiose Conference]]
In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', Alain entered the [[Lumiose Conference]]. During the opening ceremony, Alain reunited with Sycamore, who was hosting the tournament together with [[Diantha]], but Alain refused to talk with his former mentor. He also met up with Ash, and explained that he entered the tournament to battle him again and told him to keep advancing. The next day, he battled {{an|Trevor}}, with both Trainers using their Mega Charizard. Alain, however, easily won, defeating all three of Trevor's Pokémon without being seriously pressured in battle, and advanced to the second round.

In [[XY126|the next episode]], it was revealed that Alain had won his second round, third round, and quarterfinal matches, qualifying him for the semi-finals. Following the conclusion of the fourth quarterfinal battle between [[Sawyer]] and {{an|Tierno}}, it was revealed he would once again face Remo for a spot in the finals. His rematch with Remo was seen in [[XY127|the following episode]]. Using only his Charizard and his {{p|Metagross}}, he was able to easily defeat Remo and qualify for the finals. According to Clemont, Alain had up until this point only used these two Pokémon in the entire tournament. Alain had a cold, serious demeanor throughout the battle, which worried Professor Sycamore. Afterwards, Alain observed the battle between Ash and Sawyer and continued to do so in the [[XY128|following episode]], even showing a smile after Ash was named as the victor of the battle.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', he was seen training for his upcoming battle against Ash with his Charizard, which Malva interrupted. She expressed her congratulations at Alain being able to make it to the finals so easily, adding that winning in the finals should be easy for someone like him. Alain replied by telling her to go away so that he could focus on training for his match. Malva shrugged off his comment, saying that since Alain's goal was to become the strongest, entering and winning the Kalos League was common sense. Alain replied by telling her that being the strongest didn't matter to him for his battle, saying that he just wanted to battle Ash. Malva commented that she thought Ash must be happy that Alain was being so mindful about him, with Alain asking what she was insinuating, adding that he was suspicious about her "true colors". Malva merely commented on how Alain was nearly finished gathering the remaining amount of Mega Evolution energy, asking him what he would do after Chespie had recovered, to which Alain replied that it was none of her business.

Later that night, he was seen training with Charizard, expressing on how eager he was to battle Ash and how close they were to meeting the quota for the needed Mega Evolution energy. He was then approached by Professor Sycamore, who despite the awkwardness of their meeting, expressed that there were many things that he had wished to talk about with Alain, but that it was hard for him to remain collected while doing so. Alain questioned if Sycamore was mad at him for not coming back to the lab, which Sycamore denied, saying that he had heard about Alain's work with Lysandre. Alain admitted that he didn't want to expose his former mentor to any possible danger, telling the Professor about his goal to gather the power produced by Mega Evolution, but that there were also many people who would seek to twist that power for evil purposes, with Sycamore asking Alain if he backed away from him for his own safety, to which Alain confirmed. Alain told his former mentor that he couldn't turn back, not while there were even more things that he had lost compared to when he first started his journey, and until he could get those lost things back, he said that he could only continue to become even more powerful. Sycamore, smiling in understanding, told his former assistant to do as he wished. The next day, Alain was seen entering the battlefield for his final battle with Ash.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Alain faced Ash in the final round of the Lumiose Conference for a [[Full Battle]]. Alain and Ash started a back and forth battle that eventually came down to Alain's Charizard against Ash's Greninja. Charizard Mega Evolved and Greninja transformed into Ash-Greninja, but in the end, Charizard emerged victorious, making Alain the winner of the Lumiose Conference. During the closing ceremony, after Diantha had handed Alain the championship trophy, the Kalos League stadium was attacked by massive roots unleashed by Z2, which Team Flare had placed under their control.

In [[XY132|the following episode]], he and Ash made their way through the root-infested Kalos League stadium in order to find Mairin. After meeting with {{an|Serena}}, Clemont, and {{an|Bonnie}} outside, and seeing Z2 on top of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], he and Ash went to find Mairin. After finding her, the two were ambushed by [[Celosia]] and some Team Flare Grunts, who informed Alain that Lysandre had ordered Ash to be captured and brought to him. Despite Ash trying to pull him away, Alain resisted, and allowed Team Flare to capture an unconscious Ash, along with all of his Pokémon. Alain was then transported via helicopter to Prism Tower, where he angrily questioned [[Xerosic]] as to why Team Flare needed Ash. He then went to the top of the tower, where he asked Lysandre what he was doing, and why he was destroying Kalos if he wanted to protect it. Lysandre revealed his true goal of returning Kalos to a beautiful state, and his belief that in order to do so, Kalos needed to be destroyed and rebuilt from scratch. Alain was then seen visibly frustrated and shocked when he witnessed Ash and all of his Pokémon bound in midair. When Ash and Pikachu regained consciousness he made no movement when Ash asked him what was going on.
[[File:Ash and Alain vs Lysandre.png|thumb|250px|left|Alain and Ash preparing to battle Lysandre]]
Upon hearing about Lysandre's true motivation for gathering Mega Evolution energy in [[XY133|the next episode]], Alain collapsed in anger and frustration towards himself for being used by Lysandre for his scheme, no longer knowing what he had been fighting for all that time. He then watched in horror as Lysandre attempted to control Ash and Greninja with Mega Evolution Energy so he could be in control of their [[Bond Phenomenon]] power. Luckily, the two were able to trigger the transformation on their own and break free of their confinement. Alain then grabbed Ash when he was about to collapse from using his energy, as well as thanking him for the words he said that brought him into his senses. He then turned against Lysandre and freed Ash's other Pokémon. The two then began a battle against Lysandre's Pyroar and Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and thanks to the efforts of [[Ash's Hawlucha]], Noivern, and Pikachu, they were able to knock out Pyroar.

[[XY134|Continuing their battle]], Lysandre's Mega Gyarados proved unexpectedly powerful as it was able to defeat all of Ash's Pokémon except for his Pikachu and Greninja. Alain and Ash were eventually assisted by Malva. Alongside Malva, Alain was impressed by the dedication and wisdom Ash displayed when he lectured Lysandre on why the current world is worth fighting for. The three were finally able to defeat Lysandre in [[XY135|the next episode]], but left in shock when Lysandre appeared to commit suicide by stepping off Prism Tower. After learning the Giant Rock had absorbed Chespie and was heading to [[Anistar City]]'s {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}}, Alain and company met up with Clemont, Bonnie, and [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]] and headed towards the Giant Rock by helicopter. Upon reaching the creature, Alain, along with everyone else, began fighting the creature and were eventually aided by Diantha and the [[Gym Leader]]s of Kalos as well.

In [[XY136|the following episode]], Alain and Ash were able to reach the Giant Rock's core, where Alain helped rescue Chespie, taking out the creature. After Lysandre returned and controlled the Giant Rock, Alain used his Charizard to continue fighting and was able to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing [[Squishy]] and Z2 to destroy the Giant Rock and stop Lysandre's wicked plan. Relieved to see that Chespie finally awoke from its coma, Alain apologized to Mairin for all he did and asked for her forgiveness, but Mairin told him that as long as he was safe, then everything was alright.

He reappeared in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', where Mairin threw a party for his return at Professor Sycamore's lab. He listened as Ash revealed his intent to return home to [[Pallet Town]], later admitting to Ash that he was not sure of what he wanted to do now that everything he wanted to do had been accomplished. Feeling depressed and unsure, Alain said that despite not knowing Lysandre's plot, he still felt that he needed to atone for his mistakes. Ash suggested that they have another battle someday, as battling always helped him to find the answers to questions that he had. Although Alain was hesitant since Ash had already done so much for him, he agreed noting to himself that in every way that was important Ash was his superior.

However, their conversation was interrupted when Team Rocket started attacking the lab in order to steal Pikachu. Using Charizard and Greninja, Ash and Alain successfully rescued Pikachu, and then sent Team Rocket blasting off with Serena and Clemont's assistance. Later on, he and the others received medals from Sycamore for their efforts against Team Flare, before posing for a group photograph and watching the reopening of Prism Tower that night. Professor Sycamore also asked Alain if he would like to return to his post as research assistant and Alain happily agreed. Alain reappeared in [[XY138|the next episode]], where he and Mairin came to watch Serena's performance. He was hesitant when Mairin and Chespie dragged him to dance with her, but with Professor Sycamore's encouragement, he eventually agreed, although still feeling awkward.

Alain made one more appearance in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', where he, Mairin, and Professor Sycamore visited Ash and his friends before they would leave. During their conversation, Alain revealed that he and Mairin were now going to journey throughout Kalos to hunt down Key Stones and Mega Stones, due to the Anistar Sundial now providing locations to Mega Stones throughout the region. He also informed Ash that he had discarded his Mega Stone and Key Stone because he received them from Lysandre, and that he wanted to find them on his own and start from zero just like Ash. Alain and Ash then said goodbye to each other and promised to battle again one day. Alain was later seen talking with Sycamore via a video call alongside Mairin in [[Frost Cavern]], giving him an update on their journey.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Alain and Leon.png|thumb|250px|Leon and Alain]]
Alain made a cameo appearance in a flashback of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]''.

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Alain was revealed to be in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], being the only non-Champion member of the season's final Masters Eight.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Alain participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Diantha, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the rest of the regional Champions. His opponent was chosen to be {{an|Leon}}. Despite putting in his best efforts, Alain was eventually defeated by the [[Galar]] Champion, making him the first Trainer to be eliminated from the tournament. In the [[JN116|following]] [[JN117|episodes]], Alain watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight. In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', after Ash had emerged victorious against Steven, Alain met [[Goh]] and wished Ash good luck for the remainder of the competition before returning to Kalos.

In [[JN129]], Alain watched Ash's match against Leon alongside {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, [[Mairin]], and {{an|Professor Sycamore}}.

===Character===
Alain is shown to usually be focused on his goals, yet often exhibits aloof behavior and can wander off in thought. He at first seems to push others away from him, but he helped Mairin capture Flabébé with hints on strategy. He does, however, have a close bond with his Charizard, and has become accustomed to Mairin's companionship as shown in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]''. Alain doggedly pursues his goal of becoming the strongest, often ignoring the concern of others and inadvertently causing distress and further concern among those that care most for him.

[[File:Alain anger XYS04.png|thumb|left|250px|Alain after learning of Chespie's coma]]
Alain has a tendency to push away the people he wants to protect. During his time working at Professor Sycamore's lab, Alain was much more cheerful than he is in the present. While he has distanced himself from Professor Sycamore, it is clear he is still concerned about his safety, something that he fully admitted to his former mentor while at the Kalos League.

His character took a darker turn at the end of ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''. Blaming himself for Chespie's falling into a comatose state because of his pushing Mairin away, he became disgusted with himself and began obsessively pursuing the completion of Lysandre's Mega Evolution energy system. His goal thus became to gain strength and complete the system in order to heal Chespie and help Mairin smile again. To meet this end, he worked with Mable and Aliana in their mission to capture Z2, succeeding in distracting Z2 long enough for the Team Flare Scientists to weaken it.

Alain is a good sport, and is shown to take his losses well. When he wins battles, he likewise congratulates his opponents on putting up a good fight, which is how he befriends Ash. When he loses, he doesn't let it bother him, instead devoting himself to train even harder. He greatly enjoys a challenge, becoming visibly excited when he and Charizard were pushed into a corner in their second battle with Ash-Greninja. This excitement and desire to once again battle against Ash in a competitive fashion similar to their previous battles would drive him to quickly attain enough badges to compete in the [[Lumiose Conference]], something that he admitted to Korrina following his victory over her at the Shalour Gym.

[[File:Alain Mega Ring.png|thumb|250px|Alain's first Mega Ring]]
By the time of the Kalos League, however, Alain's attitude had become more serious and cold, as the only thing he really cared about was proving that he was the strongest Trainer. Although showing brief glimpses of amusement in his battle with Trevor, after thoroughly defeating him, he would resume with his cold and serious demeanor. Likewise, when Remo failed to give him a real challenge, Alain just expressed indifference to the battle and, as in his battle with Trevor, left the arena without congratulating or praising his opponents as he would have in the past, further enforcing how obsessed he had become with gaining strength and battling fiercely competitive battles. However, despite this darker persona, Alain still showed signs of his old self when talking with Charizard about how he was genuinely looking forward to his battle with Ash in the finals. He would afterwards open up to Professor Sycamore and explain his motivations, reaffirming his desire to become stronger in order to protect his friends or anyone he is closest to in the process.

During his battle with Ash, Alain admitted to himself that Ash's excited attitude and eagerness to enjoy battles are what made him such a great opponent, and that battling Ash made him truly enjoy the battles themselves, causing him to lose track of time.

When Team Flare attacked Lumiose City and revealed their true motives, Alain felt betrayed by them and began to feel a great sense of guilt in him. After Lysandre proclaimed the dawn of his new world to him, Alain collapsed in frustration and anger. These feelings along with Ash helping him see the truth that would lead him to turn against Team Flare and join Ash. After Team Flare was defeated, Alain began to feel despondent, since not only did he feel that he was indirectly responsible for what Lysandre was able to do to Kalos, but he did not know what he wanted to do now that everyone was safe. Thanks to Ash, Alain began to cheer up, and accepted Professor Sycamore's offer to resume their research on Mega Evolution.

[[File:Alain Mega Ring 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Alain's current Mega Ring]]
When Alain first met Mairin, he didn't like the fact that she kept following him, but he eventually gave in and reluctantly let her travel with him. Although he wasn't excited to have Mairin around at first, he grew to like having her around, and she became his best friend. Alain would do anything to protect her, even when he purposely tried to leave her behind to keep her from his dangerous mission of engaging Primal Groudon and Kyogre, as shown in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''. After failing the mission, he returned to Kalos alone, leaving Mairin behind as he didn't want to endanger her any further through his missions.

Alain views Ash not only as a rival, but as a close friend, and he values his friendship with him just like he does for Mairin. However, their relationship nearly took a turn for the worst when he was forced to let Team Flare take Ash and his Pokémon captive. Because of his betrayal, Alain was too ashamed to even talk to him. However, he eventually realized the error of his ways after hearing Ash explain that he doesn't care about what he has done in the past or the present. Also, it seems that he takes some inspiration from Ash, since he competed in the Kalos League because of him. Also, Ash helped him understand what was wrong with his ways, and helped him start over from zero by going on a new journey with Mairin to find both a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Stone]] to call his own.

===Pokémon===
The only permanent member of Alain's team is {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. When Charizard is not available for battle, Alain avoids participating in battles against other Trainers. However, he is seen using a few other Pokémon in his anime appearances. During his appearance in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', it is revealed that Alain has become a [[Mega Stone]] researcher, which may indicate that other Pokémon on his team may also have access to [[Mega Evolution]].

(Japanese: '''セミファイナルⅢ　「武勇」''' ''The Semifinals III: "Valor"'') is the 124th episode of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and the 1,209th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on September 9, 2022.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The [[Masters Eight Tournament]] semifinals {{pkmn|battle}} between [[Ash]] and {{an|Cynthia}} continues, with the former having three Pokémon remaining and the latter having four. Ash's fourth Pokémon is {{AP|Dracovish}}, and Cynthia sends out her fifth Pokémon, {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, causing Ash to wonder if she will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Dracovish goes in for an {{m|Ice Fang}}, but Garchomp dodges and lands a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, dealing super effective [[damage]] on Dracovish. She then uses {{m|Stealth Rock}}, before Cynthia substitutes her for {{p|Roserade}}, whose {{status|burn}} from {{AP|Gengar}}'s [[JN123|earlier]] {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} has been healed thanks to its [[Ability]], {{a|Natural Cure}}. Despite this, Dracovish is able to withstand Roserade's {{m|Poison Jab}} and strike back with a {{m|Fishious Rend}}, though it ends up getting {{status|poison}}ed. Nonetheless, Dracovish's poison status gives it the anger, determination, and power to push through Roserade's {{m|Leaf Storm}} with {{m|Dragon Rush}}, knocking Roserade out.

Ash wants to [[recall]] Dracovish at this point due to the damage it is taking from poison, but, at Dracovish's insistence, allows it to stay in the battle. Cynthia then sends out her sixth Pokémon, {{p|Milotic}}, whom Dracovish charges toward with Dragon Rush. Milotic uses {{m|Disarming Voice}} to keep Dracovish at bay, before employing the same [[JN117|tactic]] it used against [[Iris's Dragonite]] and coiling around Dracovish to use a close-range {{m|Iron Head}}. Dracovish, however, strikes back with Fishious Rend, and the attacks collide to create a big explosion. Although Milotic has taken visible damage, Dracovish ends up going down.

Ash recalls Dracovish and sends out {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}, who immediately takes damage from Garchomp's Stealth Rock. Ash suddenly gets an idea and has Sirfetch'd use {{m|Brutal Swing}} with its shield to eliminate the Stealth Rock, greatly impressing [[Goh]], [[Hop]], {{an|Leon}}, [[Diantha]], and Cynthia. Milotic attacks with a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but Sirfetch'd is able to dodge the attack by jumping into the air, retrieving its shield in the process. Sirfetch'd and Milotic then both proceed to charge at each other as Milotic uses Iron Head. However, Sirfetch'd uses its shield to block Milotic's attack, before landing a flurry of {{m|Fury Cutter}}s that pushes Milotic back. Milotic's next attack is Disarming Voice, but Sirfetch'd manages to endure it and blitz Milotic with {{m|Meteor Assault}}, taking it down.

Cynthia recalls Milotic and commends Ash on his cleverness at getting rid of the Stealth Rock, before sending Garchomp back out and again forcing Ash to consider the possibility of Garchomp Mega Evolving. Sirfetch'd charges once more with Fury Cutter, knocking away a {{m|Scale Shot}} along the way, before clashing against Garchomp's {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Sirfetch'd ends up getting knocked back, but is able to avert a second Dragon Claw by using {{m|Detect}}. Sirfetch'd then goes in for a Meteor Assault, and Garchomp uses {{m|Draco Meteor}} in response, both of which successfully land. Both Pokémon take a good amount of damage and, as the smoke clears, enter a standoff. Garchomp eventually stumbles, but remains conscious, while Sirfetch'd faints standing up.

Ash recalls Sirfetch'd as Cynthia calls Garchomp back. Ash sends out his final Pokémon, {{AP|Lucario}}, and Cynthia sends {{p|Togekiss}} back out. In the stands, [[Goh's Cinderace]] suddenly pops out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} to cheer on his friend. Lucario starts off with {{m|Bullet Punch}}, and Togekiss tries to stop it in its tracks with {{m|Air Slash}}, but Lucario is able to push through it and land its attack on Togekiss. Togekiss is still standing, however, as Lucario charges an {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Togekiss beats it to the punch with another Air Slash, not only dealing a good amount of damage, but also negating Lucario's Aura Sphere, seemingly making it [[flinch]]. Togekiss uses yet another Air Slash, but Lucario uses Bullet Punch to neutralize the attack, resisting flinching thanks to its {{a|Inner Focus|strong willpower}}. After a brief moment of silence, Cynthia surprises the entire [[Wyndon Stadium]] by recalling Togekiss and [[Dynamax]]ing it, revealing that she has no intention of Mega Evolving Garchomp. Ash readies his [[Key Stone]], and Lucario prepares to take on Dynamax Togekiss as the battle enters its climax.

==Major events==

* {{Ash}} and {{an|Cynthia}} continue their [[Full Battle]] in the semifinals.
* [[Ash's Lucario]] is revealed to have {{a|Inner Focus}} as its [[Ability]].
* Cynthia is revealed to own a [[Dynamax Band]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} resume their travels, going where the wind blows with no clear destination. When they reach a crossroads, Ash tosses a twig into the air to decide which way to go, but then turns to take the other road instead. Mildly irritated, Pikachu zaps [[Ash's hat]] off his head a couple times, while Ash keeps moving ahead until Pikachu catches up with him. With the playful bickering over, they cross a shallow river, but Ash slips on a rock and falls in, with a trio of {{p|Magikarp}} biting down on his rear. After laughing his fill, Pikachu zaps the Magikarp and Ash with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, driving the {{pkmn|category|Fish Pokémon}} away. Next, Ash tries out swinging on vines, but when he sees a {{p|Kakuna}}, he gets distracted and hits a tree. The impact causes the Kakuna to fall down and Ash saves it. The next instant, however, it suddenly [[evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Beedrill}}. After a few tense moments, Beedrill flies away without attacking him, much to Ash's relief.

Back in [[Pallet Town]], {{an|Professor Oak}} pays a visit to the [[Player's house|Ketchum residence]] to greet {{Delia}} and ask her how Ash is doing. Delia says she hasn't heard of him since he left. Ash's choice to travel without a set goal reminds Professor Oak of his own youth, though Delia does mention that Ash wishes to make new friends, inspiring Professor Oak to recite a {{wp|senryū}} about the subject.

Taking a break from walking, Ash and Pikachu rest under a tree while pointing out the [[wild Pokémon]] that appear near them. However, when {{MTR}} suddenly appears, he does a double-take. The next moment, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear as well and seize Pikachu in a net before reciting their {{motto}}. Pikachu's attempts to break free by using Thunderbolt or {{m|Iron Tail}} fail, with the [[Team Rocket trio]] boasting that they've made their net completely Pikachu-proof. Confident of their victory, they turn around to leave, but Ash calls out {{AP|Noivern}} and has him use {{m|Boomburst}}. Though {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to send the attack back, Ash quickly blocks it with {{AP|Donphan}}'s {{m|Rollout}}. With the tables having turned on them, the Rocket trio tries to run, but are unable to escape from {{AP|Sceptile}}, whose {{m|Leaf Blade}} cuts the net open, allowing Pikachu to blast them off as usual.

While the trio is lamenting their failure to prepare for the [[twerp]]'s other Pokémon, they end up colliding with an invisible Pokémon mid-air, sending them flying into the distance and causing the Pokémon to crash down into a nearby lake. Hearing the sound of the crash-landing, Ash rushes to the site. When the invisible Pokémon's wing turns visible before his eyes, he immediately recognizes the Pokémon as a {{p|Latias}} and swims to her to save her. Though distrustful towards Ash, Latias is too weak to muster her strength to fight back, allowing Ash and {{AP|Buizel}} to bring her to land. Laying her down, Ash sees the full extent of her bruises and injuries, in particular on one of her wings, which he treats with a [[Potion]] and bandages before setting up a campsite. At night, Team Rocket stumbles upon the campsite and spots Latias. Their [[Rotom Phone]] informs them that Latias is a [[Legendary Pokémon]], making them excited and determined to capture it. Meanwhile, Ash spots that the bandage around Latias's wing has loosened, so he takes it off, applies some more Potion on the wound, and ties another, tighter bandage around it.

The next morning, Latias wakes up, waking up Ash as well as she takes off. She starts angrily ripping off the bandage, despite Ash trying to protest that she has not fully recovered yet. Ash tries to assure Latias that he's trying to help her, but suddenly, a giant vacuum appears and sucks Latias in. Ash jumps after her and is sucked in as well as the vacuum is revealed to be connected to Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]]. Latias and Ash are both dropped into a glass tank underneath the balloon, which is then filled with cold air to weaken the {{t|Dragon}} type. Though capturing Ash was not a part of Team Rocket's plan, they decide to keep him as a hostage to keep {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} from attacking them. Trying to think of a way to escape, Ash comes up with an idea, and Pikachu sends a Thunderbolt at him. The {{t|Electric}} [[move|attack]] succeeds in shattering the tank, causing Ash and Latias to fall, with Ash urging Latias to take his hands. Seeing what lengths Ash is willing to go to save her, Latias finally trusts him and saves him from the fall.

Once the Rocket trio has been dispatched by Noivern's Boomburst, Latias brings Ash back down to the ground. He thanks her for saving him and she flies up, looking at him with a sad expression before turning invisible and disappearing. Looking after her, Ash wonders if he'll ever see her again. As he and Pikachu resume their journey, Latias observes him from the sky.

'''Bede''' (Japanese: '''ビート''' ''Beet'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Marnie]]. 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. 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 he is disowned by Rose and disqualified from the Gym Challenge.

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 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.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Bede debuted in ''[[PASS06|Watch Out!! Strong Rivals]]''. He was first seen in front of the [[Galar Mine]], unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. {{Casey}}, [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. 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.

[[File:Bede Gym Leader Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Bede after training with Opal]]
In [[PASS14]], [[Stow-on-Side]], Bede watched Henry's Gym battle against [[Allister]], 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]], 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]], 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.

In [[PASS25]], 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.

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.

'''Serena's Sylveon''' (Japanese: '''{{j|セレナのニンフィア}}''' ''Serena's Nymphia'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Serena}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and her third overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Serena Eevee.png|thumb|250px|left|As an Eevee]]
{{p|Sylveon}} first debuted as an {{p|Eevee}} in ''[[XY089|A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!]]'', a shy Pokémon who liked to perform her dance on a stage-like rock. She was first spotted by {{an|Bonnie}}, {{an|Serena}}, and some of their Pokémon. Eevee soon ran away after Ash's yell scared her. Eevee was next spotted saving Serena's life by calling out to her so as to prevent her from walking off a cliff. In return for saving her life, Serena left her flower crown for Eevee to wear, which was not taken until night. Eevee later approached {{an|Clemont}}, his Pokémon, and Bonnie, who had laid out [[Poké Puff]]s to lure her in. While {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} noticed Eevee take one of the Poké Puffs, he gave Eevee a chance to get away with the food, leaving {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to take the blame.

That same night, Eevee was spotted on the stage-like rock again, performing her dance. She was watched by Serena, {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}, and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}. After a performance by Serena, Eevee revealed herself to the group, only to be caught by {{TRT}}. Serena and {{Ash}} managed to get Eevee out of the trap Team Rocket placed her in, so [[Jessie]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} tried to run after her, but Serena, Braixen, and Pancham blocked the way. [[Jessie's Gourgeist]] was told to use {{m|Seed Bomb}} on Serena and her Pokémon, but she was saved by Eevee's {{m|Protect}}. After Team Rocket was sent blasting off again, Eevee gladly joined Serena.

[[File:Serena Eevee Dazzled.png|thumb|250px|As an Eevee, dazzled at Serena's performance]]
In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Serena met up with {{an|Shauna}} again, who informed her about the [[Eeveelution|various Pokémon]] that Eevee can evolve into. Later, Serena used Eevee in a [[Pokémon battle]] for the first time, in order to help her get over her shyness, where she battled alongside [[Shauna's Ivysaur]] against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Tierno's Blastoise]]. During the battle, Eevee got targeted by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Frightened by the attack, Eevee was unable to move and fell. At the last moment, however, the attack was blocked by Ivysaur's {{m|Razor Leaf}}. After this and seeing how everyone was rooting for her, Eevee gained the courage to fight. Eevee then managed to dodge Blastoise's {{m|Water Gun}} and utilized her dance moves to confuse Blastoise, before hitting it with {{m|Swift}}. Inspired by Eevee's dance moves, Serena called the battle off in order to practice them for her performance.

In ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', Serena called Eevee out of her {{i|Poké Ball}} so that she could watch Serena's performance. She was scared by the amount of people near her, but soon calmed down after Clemont called out Bunnelby in order to keep her company and to make her less nervous. During the Theme Performance, she expressed interest in the first half of the [[Pokémon Showcase]], but was suddenly surprised after Jessie's Freestyle Performance's ending fireworks, causing her to run away to the lobby and hide under one of the benches in fright. At first she was hesitant to go to Serena's call but after gaining some nerve, she ran out from her hiding spot in a hurry to Serena, whom happily embraced her. Prompting her trainer to hurry back, she watched along with the others in excitement as Serena did her Freestyle Performance with Braixen and Pancham. After the performance, she expressed her interest in one day performing with Serena and the team on stage as well.

[[File:Serena Eevee Showcase Debut.png|thumb|250px|left|As an Eevee felling nervous in her Showcase debut]]
In ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', Eevee caught the interest of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Quilladin}}, but did not reciprocate its feelings and expressed discomfort instead. Eevee blocked its attempts of "love" using Protect before Serena's Pancham and Clemont's Chespin began defending her. After both Pokémon were brushed off, Eevee was revealed to know {{m|Double Team}}, using it as a way to hide herself from her unwanted pursuer and unintentionally making it faint. Due to the forwardness of her admirer, Eevee reverted to her timid personality, scurrying behind Serena away from Pancham, Chespin, and the fainted Quilladin. She expressed disinterest in Quilladin's attempts at winning her love by battling Pancham and Chespin, preferring to rest instead. Eevee was soon drawn away along with Bunnelby, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, and [[Squishy]] by a trap laid out by Team Rocket but escaped thanks to Bunnelby and eventually reunited with Serena and the others. She rejected Quilladin's affection for the last time after defeating Team Rocket, refusing to take its gift.

In ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', Eevee was nervous for her Showcase debut. Serena, Braixen, and Pancham all encouraged her, calming her nerves until the next day when the Showcase begun. Eevee cheered on Serena and Pancham during the Theme Performance, happily celebrating with Braixen when the two were successful in passing the first round. Although nervous at first, she, along with Serena and Braixen, managed to impress the audience in the beginning of their Freestyle Performance. Eevee gracefully landed with one paw on Braixen's stick and was holding on well until her stage fright got the best of her, causing her to lose her balance. However, Serena reassured Eevee, raising her confidence to continue their performance and ending it nicely together. Soon after their loss, she felt bad about it thinking it was her fault, but Serena cheered her up, telling her to not give up and to try her best to aim for the next win.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Serena asked if Eevee wanted to go to a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. She appeared reluctant, but nevertheless, she agreed and partnered up with Bunnelby. At the dance party, she enjoyed herself while dancing with Bunnelby. When everyone's partner was switched around, she also danced happily with a {{p|Furret}} despite her timid personality. When Serena was chosen to participate in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside Ash, Eevee was partnered up with Ash's Pikachu against [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} and [[James's Inkay]]. After Pikachu got hit in place of Eevee, she defended him by using Swift against Slurpuff, but was eventually blown back by Inkay's {{m|Psybeam}}. With Serena's request and encouragement of seeing her hidden strength, Eevee extended an appendage from her mane around Serena's arm and [[Evolution|evolved]] into Sylveon. She then blocked Slurpuff's {{m|Energy Ball}} with a newly learned {{m|Fairy Wind}}, and used it once more to defeat Slurpuff and Inkay in one shot, thus winning the battle. Sylveon appeared again walking with Serena with her feeler wrapped around her Trainer's arm as they left for the next location.

[[File:Serena Sylveon Showcase debut.png|thumb|250px|Sylveon in the Fleurrh Showcase]]
In ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'', Sylveon was used in the {{ci|Fleurrh}} Rookie Class Showcase along with Pancham and Braixen. Before their Freestyle Performance, Sylveon was worried that she would mess up again like she did during her debut as an Eevee, but regained her nerves from Serena's encouragement. She danced alongside her teammates and ended the performance using Swift combined with Braixen's {{m|Fire Blast}}, creating a large star that exploded into sparkles. After winning the Showcase, she and the rest were congratulated by their friends with a feast, and was given food from Bunnelby.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', Sylveon joined Serena in the {{ci|Gloire}} Master Class Showcase. She was first used in [[XY113|the following episode]], where she performed in the semi-finals along with Pancham. She faced off against Shauna and Jessie with their respective teams, consisting of Ivysaur and {{p|Flabébé}}, and Gourgeist and Meowth. She first launched Swift in the air, resulting in multiple small falling stars. Sylveon then jumped on Pancham's {{m|Stone Edge}} and used Fairy Wind to lift Serena and Pancham up in the air. The trio then, supported by the Fairy Wind, landed on one hand. Serena, however, twisted her wrist upon landing, causing her to lose her balance. Sylveon, however, quickly responded by catching Serena with her feelers. The audience, however, did not notice the error in their performance and gave Serena enough votes to win and advance to the final round. In the final round, Sylveon performed along with Braixen and Pancham. Sylveon combined her Swift with Braixen's {{m|Flamethrower}} and Pancham's {{m|Dark Pulse}} to create beautiful sparkles. Sylveon then used Pancham's Stone Edge to jump high in the air and proceeded to lift Serena and the others up again using Fairy Wind. They finished the performance by combining their moves once more to create a giant blooming fire flower. In the end, however, their performance was not good enough to defeat the opposing team, formed by Aria, her {{TP|Aria|Delphox}}, {{p|Aromatisse}} and {{p|Vivillon}}, causing Aria to keep her title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}.

When Serena, Team Rocket, [[Mairin]] and {{an|Professor Sycamore}} infiltrated [[Lysandre Labs]] in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Sylveon helped to battle their way through numerous {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and their pack of {{p|Houndoom}}. In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', she was sent out to fend off the roots from the [[Giant Rock]] to protect Serena, Mairin and Bonnie.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Sylveon and the rest of Serena's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare. In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Sylveon, along with her Trainer, Shauna, Jessie, and their respective Pokémon, performed for a crowd of Lumiose citizens.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In [[JN105]], Sylveon and Serena were training for the [[Lilycove City]] [[Pokémon Contest]], until they meet a girl named [[Chloe]] and her partner {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}. During the contest, Sylveon and her teammates pulled off a great performance, as they were able to help Serena tie with [[Lisia]] for first place.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Serena and Sylveon.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylveon and Serena]]
While Sylveon loves to dance, as an Eevee, she had a timid personality and was easily scared by new people or Pokémon, as shown in her debut and in ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', when a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Quilladin}} had fallen in love with her, but his attempts to win her over frightened her instead. When scared, she tended to hide behind her Trainer or [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], or otherwise freeze up and immediately run away. She tried to overcome her timidness by warming up to the other Pokémon of the team, as shown in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', where she brushed her tail on them, but to a limited success as she shied away from {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}'s accidental outburst. This trait led her to hesitate during her [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Tierno's Blastoise]] in the episode, until she was inspired by Tierno, his Blastoise, and their dancing.
[[File:Sylveon and Bunnelby.png|thumb|250px|Sylveon with [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]]]
Adapting her dance moves to her battle style, Eevee became an agile fighter capable of dodging many attacks and making unpredictable movements, quickly outmaneuvering her much larger opponent. When she evolved, she displayed her agile dance-like moves in ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'' while battling [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} and [[James's Inkay]]. In the process, she gained full confidence in herself and is no longer shy.

Sylveon has a passion for dancing, liking to perform her moves on a stage-like rock prior to her capture, although she only performed alone away from others. She was dazzled after seeing Serena's performance in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', sparking her interest to perform along with Serena and the rest of the team.

Project Mew

2022-03-18T17:50:18Z

LuigiRobs14: /* Trial Missions */

'''Project Mew''' (Japanese: '''プロジェクト・ミュウ''' ''Project Mew'') is a research project in the {{pkmn|anime}}, which recruits {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from around the {{pkmn|world}}, aiming to find {{p|Mew}}. It is led by [[Professor Amaranth]] and was first introduced in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''.

==Description==
[[File:Menu Mission Project Mew.png|thumb|250px|Project Mew Trial Mission menu]]
===Objective===
The official members of Project Mew, known as Chasers, are attempting to find {{p|Mew}} in order to figure out the origins of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Their intention is to search for it from a giant tabletop mountain that is fogless only for one week between the dry and wet seasons. The only known Chaser in the anime are [[Danika]] and [[Quillon]].

In Project Mew there is a category of Trainers who receive challenges and must fulfill them through Trial Missions. This category is known as Challengers and those who manage to complete the missions can reach the rank of Chaser.

===Trial Missions===
In order to participate in Project Mew, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} must pass certain Trial Missions assigned for them. The Trainer taking on Trial Missions receives a list with three missions divided by colors and must choose only one of them to fulfill. Once the mission objective has been achieved and verified, the Trainer will earn a special token on their [[Rotom Phone]] as proof. The challengers with the most tokens become Chasers.

The number of tokens reciveved at the end of the trial may change depending on the performance of the participants with more or less awarded based on their actions.

The items collected during Trial Missions are brought to be verified by a {{p|Corviknight}}.

==Trivia==
* Project Mew's mission and reward system is similar to [[Pokémon GO]]'s [[Field Research]].
* Project Mew's work of rescuing Pokémon and returning them to wildlife is similar to the work of some real life non-governmental organizations such as [https://www.worldwildlife.org/ WWF] or [https://www.animalrescuecorps.org/ Animal Rescue Corps].

'''Professor Laventon''' (Japanese: '''ラベン博士''' ''Dr. Laven'') is a travelling [[Pokémon Professor]] who studies in the [[Hisui]] region. He is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps and specializes in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s modes of life.

==In the core series==
Professor Laventon finds the {{player}} on [[Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach]] after they have fallen through the [[Space-Time Distortion|space-time rift]]. The appearance of the player has attracted the interest of the Professor's three [[Starter Pokémon]]. After the player awakens, the Pokémon run away and the Professor tasks the player with recapturing them. Impressed by their skill he takes the player to [[Jubilife Village]] to recruit them into the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps.

===Pokémon===
====Gives to the player====
Professor Laventon gives the player their choice of [[starter Pokémon]] from Pokémon he collected while traveling the {{pkmn|world}}. After the player has beaten the main story of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, he will give the player the remaining two starter Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* The [[Pokédex]] entries in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] are written in first person by Laventon.
** Incidentally, Laventon is also the person who coined the term "[[scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]]" for {{p|Oshawott}}'s signature seashell, and the term "[[aura]]" for {{p|Lucario}}'s signature energy wave control power.
* There are several hints in the game that Professor Laventon may be from the [[Galar]] region:
** In the Pokédex entry for {{p|Raichu}} he mentions {{p|Copperajah}} that live in his homeland. Currently, Copperajah are only known to live in [[Galar]].
** The writing on the blackboard in his office uses the alphabet from {{g|Sword and Shield}} instead of the style of writing used elsewhere in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
** He often uses stock British phrases such as "jolly good". In other language versions of the game such as German, he will sometimes speak in English instead.
**This would make him the only known [[Pokémon Professor]] in the [[core series]] not to be from the region he resides in.
* The stripes on Laventon’s pants are very similar to the ones found on [[Leon]]’s shirt.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

At the Fennel Valley Pokémon Center, Ash gets a special delivery from Oak's Lab—his Bulbasaur. Officer Jenny soon arrives with his Squirtle, and his Charizard flies in too. Ash is going on a retreat with these three Pokémon and Pikachu to train for his upcoming rematch with Brandon. Out in the forest, the four Pokémon work together to build a bed to sleep on, but Charizard hogs it at first and starts a fight. Eventually they calm down and rebuild the bed, get some food, and even practice their moves. That night Charizard lights a campfire, and Ash remembers how he met Pikachu, Charizard, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket happens to be watching, and they drive up in a noodle truck in which they manage to grab Pikachu. The truck releases a metal balloon that they then escape in. Ash takes to the air on Charizard, and has his Pokémon perform various attacks on the balloon to no avail. Eventually Charizard and Squirtle alternate their attacks, causing the balloon to crack so Bulbasaur can break it open. The four Pokémon then team up their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Brandon emerges from the bushes nearby to tell Ash it's time to battle, and that they should make it a 4-on-4 battle with his four Pokémon.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Scott lets Ash know that he could be a Frontier Brain if he beats Brandon, but Ash is more worried about winning first. At the Battle Pyramid, the battle begins with Charizard versus Brandon's Dusclops. Dusclops traps Charizard in battle with the move Mean Look, and then uses Confuse Ray to confuse it. Eventually Charizard snaps out of its confusion. Ash makes a fatal error by having Charizard use Seismic Toss, which has no effect on Ghost-types like Dusclops. Dusclops performs Shadow Punch, knocking Charizard out.

==Plot==
The last stride of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} is upon {{Ash}}, as our heroes are outside of a local [[Pokémon Center]]. As our heroes are about to begin their departure, {{an|Professor Oak}} exits from the establishment and hands Ash a {{i|Poké Ball}}. Ash throws the Poké Ball unleashing the magnificent force of {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, his old companion of [[Kanto]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} rushes over to Bulbasaur and the both reacquaint themselves. The mysterious {{AP|Squirtle}} of the devious [[Squirtle Squad]] rides in [[Officer Jenny]]'s motorcycle as the two speed towards Ash. Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu reacquaint themselves with the old group. {{an|Brock}} once again falls for Jenny's charm but is broken out of his state of confusion by [[Max]]'s stiff pull of his ear. After a few seconds, a silhouette resembling {{AP|Charizard}} appears in the skies and begins closing in on his location. The grumble of Charizard's call can be heard from the distance. Ash welcomes Charizard with open arms and is welcomed by a blast from Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

{{an|May}} calls upon her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} and as the Poké Ball explodes open, Ash's Squirtle uses its {{m|Water Gun}} to keep May's Squirtle suspended in the air. After the water recedes, the two begin dancing gently together. Ash's Squirtle towers over May's unusually small turtle {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As the two play, Brock hands Ash his faithful [[bag|backpack]]. [[Nurse Joy]] gives Ash a parting gift of homemade cookies while Ash prepares his Pokémon for the journey to the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Charizard reassures Ash that he is ready by charring Ash, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur with another spray of its Flamethrower.

As our group continues down a nearby path, Ash comes across a group of logs blocking the path. Charizard uses his strength to propel the logs into the air as Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to slice the logs into small pieces as each Pokémon catches a small piece. After all of the logs have been successfully cut, everyone places the logs into place forming a box. Squirtle uses {{m|Rapid Spin}} to create a wind current as Bulbasaur uses {{m|Vine Whip}} to capture nearby leaves, and Pikachu uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to force the foliage inside of the box structure. After the group finishes, a soft bed of underbrush is formed. Charizard slams down into the box, scattering leaves into the atmosphere. Squirtle becomes furious and launches a Water Gun, hitting Charizard directly on the forehead. Charizard wakes up from its nap and walks over to confront Squirtle. Bulbasaur and Squirtle prepare to dodge Charizard but soon after, Bulbasaur makes the decision to attack Charizard with Vine Whip but Charizard evades the attack and Bulbasaur's attack crashes down on Pikachu. Pikachu's tail begins growing brightly as he ascends into the air and hits Charizard with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. When Ash tries to stop the fight, he and Pikachu are blasted with Charizard's Flamethrower. Pikachu begins building electrical energy launching a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, shocking Ash, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charizard.

The group continues further down the path and soon come to a large tree. Charizard takes to the skies with his wings growing brightly, and Ash recognizes it as {{m|Steel Wing}}. Charizard descends around the tree cutting the fruit loose. Squirtle uses his Water Gun to keep the fruit ascended into the atmosphere while Pikachu and Bulbasaur use Quick Attack and Vine Whip to capture the fruit from the fall.

Dusk has fallen upon our hero while Ash prepares a fire for the night. Charizard uses his Flamethrower to light the fire as everyone moves away from his devastating force. The Flamethrower proves to be unsuccessful, only managing to heat the nearby rocks. Ash realizes that he foolishly forgot to place firewood into the fire pit. Charizard uses a smaller Flamethrower this time to light the fire gently. Night falls upon our heroes as the fire glistens and sparkles under the night sky. Ash reminds Pikachu of their past experiences in Kanto while he also brings up the same instances with Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle.

Morning has arrived for our heroes as training preparations continue throughout the day, Bulbasaur smashes rocks with his {{m|Vine Whip}}, Squirtle practices his {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Charizard once again shows off his Steel Wing attack. Throughout the day, the group's time goes good, with everyone splashing around in a small lake, until things go down much the same as the day prior, everyone once again gets into an altercation that leads to Ash attempting to step in and stop it, Pikachu just shocks him and the rest of the group again. The day concludes once more with our heroes sitting at a glistening fire once more. Nearby, {{TRT}} plan their devious attack to capture Pikachu. After a few seconds, a strange vehicle emerges from the forest while Ash runs to greet the couple. The couple are a pair of ramen dealers who prepare ramen for travelers. An [[James|older man]] greets Ash stating that he needs an electric Pokémon. While Ash is distracted, the old man snatches Pikachu with his companion and escapes into the vehicle. The group speed off and reveal themselves as Team Rocket. The vehicle soon collapses revealing Team Rocket's balloon forged of a form of steel. Ash takes to the skies with Charizard. Bulbasaur attempts to stop the group from escaping with his Razor Leaf but the attack only is deflected from the balloon's outer surface. Charizard launches his Flamethrower but the metal only absorbs the heat. Squirtle uses Water Gun soon after also proving ineffective. Both Pokémon continue heating and cooling the metal weakening it after every attack. The steel soon begins to crack as Bulbasaur delivers the final blow causing the balloon to crush into the ground. Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charizard launch a combination of {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Fire}} attacks clashing with Team Rocket for a direct hit and blasting the trio into the sky. As Team Rocket blasts off, [[Jessie]] begins devouring a bowl of ramen fighting off [[James]], {{MTR}}, and [[James's Mime Jr.]]. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} releases itself from the Poké Ball giving its notorious call. The trio disperse into the sky as a blinding light.

Ash checks the status of his Pokémon and notices the expression on Charizard's face. Charizard has noticed a nearby human within the vicinity. The underbrush moves gently as Ash welcomes [[Pyramid King Brandon]] with exuberance. Brandon extends an invitation for the second official battle. Morning arrives upon our hero as the two head towards the Pokémon Center. As our heroes are seated inside of the center, [[Scott]] introduces himself as the owner of the Battle Frontier. He reveals that any participant who can successfully complete the Battle Frontier is entered into the [[Hall of Fame]] and becomes a [[Frontier Brain]] candidate. As the time for the battle comes and Ash and Brandon take their places on the battlefield, the Battle Pyramid's ceiling opens up. Brandon calls upon his {{p|Dusclops}} while Ash selects Charizard as his start.

Charizard doesn't hesitate to being the battle with his Flamethrower as Dusclops counterattacks with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} with both attacks clashing and dispersing into the atmosphere. Charizard charges and uses {{m|Steel Wing}} as Dusclops uses {{m|Shadow Punch}} making for a direct hit. Charizard recovers and strikes down with {{m|Dragon Breath}}. After Dusclops manages to recover, he counterattacks with {{m|Mean Look}}. Charizard charges his wings again and descends towards Dusclops for another Steel Wing attack, which hits directly. Dusclops takes advantage of Charizard being up close and uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} to confuse Charizard, which works perfectly. Ash attempts to recall Charizard back into his Poké Ball but proves unsuccessful due to Mean Look. Dusclops strikes Charizard with another Shadow Punch, sending it flying back into a wall as Ash tries to help Charizard recover. Dusclops strikes down with another Will-O-Wisp for a direct hit. Ash attempts to remind Charizard of his past battles while he tries to grasp consciousness once more. Charizard snaps out of confusion and launches another Dragon Breath attack for a direct hit. Dusclops launches another Will-O-Wisp attack knocking Charizard backwards. Charizard is now pretty tired after all the damage taken, and Dusclops is also showing signs of fatigue. Charizard blazes forward with another Steel Wing attack, hitting directly and rotates around to attempt to complete a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. As Charizard prepares to finish the attack, Dusclops's body disappears from Charizard's grasp due to being a {{type|Ghost}}. Dusclops takes advantage of its foe and uses another Shadow Punch to [[fainting|incapacitate]] Charizard. With Ash's most powerful Pokémon down, will he still be able to defeat Brandon, or have his Battle Frontier dreams gone up in flames?

===Errors===
* {{Ash}} refers to {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} as his first Pokémon, when in reality, he {{pkmn2|caught}} {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Pidgeot}} before the latter three. They have not been in his possession since ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'' and ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', respectively.
** However, this is possibly because Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle are the first four Pokémon that he caught that he technically still owns, as he formally released Butterfree and Pidgeot.
* When Charizard returns, its eyes are a light-green. Before it uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, its eyes are colored blue.
* In Ash's flashback of Charizard, he was shown battling [[Noland's Articuno]] in his [[original series]] clothing instead of {{series|Advanced Generation}} clothing. Also, it shows Charizard using {{m|Dragon Breath}} on [[Harrison's Blaziken]], when it hadn't learned that move at that point.
* In the English dub, Ash says "A lot has happened over the years", despite the fact that he did not age at all, still being ten years old after all of the seasons.
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, [[Scott]] incorrectly states that he's the owner of the [[Frontier Brain]], instead of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.
* Charizard is missing the pads on its feet when it comes out of its Poké Ball during the battle against Brandon.

==Blurb==

At the Fennel Valley Pokémon Center, Ash gets a special delivery from Oak's Lab—his Bulbasaur. Officer Jenny soon arrives with his Squirtle, and his Charizard flies in too. Ash is going on a retreat with these three Pokémon and Pikachu to train for his upcoming rematch with Brandon. Out in the forest, the four Pokémon work together to build a bed to sleep on, but Charizard hogs it at first and starts a fight. Eventually they calm down and rebuild the bed, get some food, and even practice their moves. That night Charizard lights a campfire, and Ash remembers how he met Pikachu, Charizard, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket happens to be watching, and they drive up in a noodle truck in which they manage to grab Pikachu. The truck releases a metal balloon that they then escape in. Ash takes to the air on Charizard, and has his Pokémon perform various attacks on the balloon to no avail. Eventually Charizard and Squirtle alternate their attacks, causing the balloon to crack so Bulbasaur can break it open. The four Pokémon then team up their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Brandon emerges from the bushes nearby to tell Ash it's time to battle, and that they should make it a 4-on-4 battle with his four Pokémon.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Scott lets Ash know that he could be a Frontier Brain if he beats Brandon, but Ash is more worried about winning first. At the Battle Pyramid, the battle begins with Charizard versus Brandon's Dusclops. Dusclops traps Charizard in battle with the move Mean Look, and then uses Confuse Ray to confuse it. Eventually Charizard snaps out of its confusion. Ash makes a fatal error by having Charizard use Seismic Toss, which has no effect on Ghost-types like Dusclops. Dusclops performs Shadow Punch, knocking Charizard out.

==Plot==
The last stride of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} is upon {{Ash}}, as our heroes are outside of a local [[Pokémon Center]]. As our heroes are about to begin their departure, {{an|Professor Oak}} exits from the establishment and hands Ash a {{i|Poké Ball}}. Ash throws the Poké Ball unleashing the magnificent force of {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, his old companion of [[Kanto]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} rushes over to Bulbasaur and the both reacquaint themselves. The mysterious {{AP|Squirtle}} of the devious [[Squirtle Squad]] rides in [[Officer Jenny]]'s motorcycle as the two speed towards Ash. Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu reacquaint themselves with the old group. {{an|Brock}} once again falls for Jenny's charm but is broken out of his state of confusion by [[Max]]'s stiff pull of his ear. After a few seconds, a silhouette resembling {{AP|Charizard}} appears in the skies and begins closing in on his location. The grumble of Charizard's call can be heard from the distance. Ash welcomes Charizard with open arms and is welcomed by a blast from Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

{{an|May}} calls upon her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} and as the Poké Ball explodes open, Ash's Squirtle uses its {{m|Water Gun}} to keep May's Squirtle suspended in the air. After the water recedes, the two begin dancing gently together. Ash's Squirtle towers over May's unusually small turtle {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As the two play, Brock hands Ash his faithful [[bag|backpack]]. [[Nurse Joy]] gives Ash a parting gift of homemade cookies while Ash prepares his Pokémon for the journey to the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Charizard reassures Ash that he is ready by charring Ash, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur with another spray of its Flamethrower.

As our group continues down a nearby path, Ash comes across a group of logs blocking the path. Charizard uses his strength to propel the logs into the air as Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to slice the logs into small pieces as each Pokémon catches a small piece. After all of the logs have been successfully cut, everyone places the logs into place forming a box. Squirtle uses {{m|Rapid Spin}} to create a wind current as Bulbasaur uses {{m|Vine Whip}} to capture nearby leaves, and Pikachu uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to force the foliage inside of the box structure. After the group finishes, a soft bed of underbrush is formed. Charizard slams down into the box, scattering leaves into the atmosphere. Squirtle becomes furious and launches a Water Gun, hitting Charizard directly on the forehead. Charizard wakes up from its nap and walks over to confront Squirtle. Bulbasaur and Squirtle prepare to dodge Charizard but soon after, Bulbasaur makes the decision to attack Charizard with Vine Whip but Charizard evades the attack and Bulbasaur's attack crashes down on Pikachu. Pikachu's tail begins growing brightly as he ascends into the air and hits Charizard with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. When Ash tries to stop the fight, he and Pikachu are blasted with Charizard's Flamethrower. Pikachu begins building electrical energy launching a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, shocking Ash, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charizard.

The group continues further down the path and soon come to a large tree. Charizard takes to the skies with his wings growing brightly, and Ash recognizes it as {{m|Steel Wing}}. Charizard descends around the tree cutting the fruit loose. Squirtle uses his Water Gun to keep the fruit ascended into the atmosphere while Pikachu and Bulbasaur use Quick Attack and Vine Whip to capture the fruit from the fall.

Dusk has fallen upon our hero while Ash prepares a fire for the night. Charizard uses his Flamethrower to light the fire as everyone moves away from his devastating force. The Flamethrower proves to be unsuccessful, only managing to heat the nearby rocks. Ash realizes that he foolishly forgot to place firewood into the fire pit. Charizard uses a smaller Flamethrower this time to light the fire gently. Night falls upon our heroes as the fire glistens and sparkles under the night sky. Ash reminds Pikachu of their past experiences in Kanto while he also brings up the same instances with Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle.

Morning has arrived for our heroes as training preparations continue throughout the day, Bulbasaur smashes rocks with his {{m|Vine Whip}}, Squirtle practices his {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Charizard once again shows off his Steel Wing attack. Throughout the day, the group's time goes good, with everyone splashing around in a small lake, until things go down much the same as the day prior, everyone once again gets into an altercation that leads to Ash attempting to step in and stop it, Pikachu just shocks him and the rest of the group again. The day concludes once more with our heroes sitting at a glistening fire once more. Nearby, {{TRT}} plan their devious attack to capture Pikachu. After a few seconds, a strange vehicle emerges from the forest while Ash runs to greet the couple. The couple are a pair of ramen dealers who prepare ramen for travelers. An [[James|older man]] greets Ash stating that he needs an electric Pokémon. While Ash is distracted, the old man snatches Pikachu with his companion and escapes into the vehicle. The group speed off and reveal themselves as Team Rocket. The vehicle soon collapses revealing Team Rocket's balloon forged of a form of steel. Ash takes to the skies with Charizard. Bulbasaur attempts to stop the group from escaping with his Razor Leaf but the attack only is deflected from the balloon's outer surface. Charizard launches his Flamethrower but the metal only absorbs the heat. Squirtle uses Water Gun soon after also proving ineffective. Both Pokémon continue heating and cooling the metal weakening it after every attack. The steel soon begins to crack as Bulbasaur delivers the final blow causing the balloon to crush into the ground. Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charizard launch a combination of {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Fire}} attacks clashing with Team Rocket for a direct hit and blasting the trio into the sky. As Team Rocket blasts off, [[Jessie]] begins devouring a bowl of ramen fighting off [[James]], {{MTR}}, and [[James's Mime Jr.]]. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} releases itself from the Poké Ball giving its notorious call. The trio disperse into the sky as a blinding light.

Ash checks the status of his Pokémon and notices the expression on Charizard's face. Charizard has noticed a nearby human within the vicinity. The underbrush moves gently as Ash welcomes [[Pyramid King Brandon]] with exuberance. Brandon extends an invitation for the second official battle. Morning arrives upon our hero as the two head towards the Pokémon Center. As our heroes are seated inside of the center, [[Scott]] introduces himself as the owner of the Battle Frontier. He reveals that any participant who can successfully complete the Battle Frontier is entered into the [[Hall of Fame]] and becomes a [[Frontier Brain]] candidate. As the time for the battle comes and Ash and Brandon take their places on the battlefield, the Battle Pyramid's ceiling opens up. Brandon calls upon his {{p|Dusclops}} while Ash selects Charizard as his start.

Charizard doesn't hesitate to being the battle with his Flamethrower as Dusclops counterattacks with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} with both attacks clashing and dispersing into the atmosphere. Charizard charges and uses {{m|Steel Wing}} as Dusclops uses {{m|Shadow Punch}} making for a direct hit. Charizard recovers and strikes down with {{m|Dragon Breath}}. After Dusclops manages to recover, he counterattacks with {{m|Mean Look}}. Charizard charges his wings again and descends towards Dusclops for another Steel Wing attack, which hits directly. Dusclops takes advantage of Charizard being up close and uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} to confuse Charizard, which works perfectly. Ash attempts to recall Charizard back into his Poké Ball but proves unsuccessful due to Mean Look. Dusclops strikes Charizard with another Shadow Punch, sending it flying back into a wall as Ash tries to help Charizard recover. Dusclops strikes down with another Will-O-Wisp for a direct hit. Ash attempts to remind Charizard of his past battles while he tries to grasp consciousness once more. Charizard snaps out of confusion and launches another Dragon Breath attack for a direct hit. Dusclops launches another Will-O-Wisp attack knocking Charizard backwards. Charizard is now pretty tired after all the damage taken, and Dusclops is also showing signs of fatigue. Charizard blazes forward with another Steel Wing attack, hitting directly and rotates around to attempt to complete a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. As Charizard prepares to finish the attack, Dusclops's body disappears from Charizard's grasp due to being a {{type|Ghost}}. Dusclops takes advantage of its foe and uses another Shadow Punch to [[fainting|incapacitate]] Charizard. With Ash's most powerful Pokémon down, will he still be able to defeat Brandon, or have his Battle Frontier dreams gone up in flames?

==Blurb==

At the Fennel Valley Pokémon Center, Ash gets a special delivery from Oak's Lab—his Bulbasaur. Officer Jenny soon arrives with his Squirtle, and his Charizard flies in too. Ash is going on a retreat with these three Pokémon and Pikachu to train for his upcoming rematch with Brandon. Out in the forest, the four Pokémon work together to build a bed to sleep on, but Charizard hogs it at first and starts a fight. Eventually they calm down and rebuild the bed, get some food, and even practice their moves. That night Charizard lights a campfire, and Ash remembers how he met Pikachu, Charizard, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket happens to be watching, and they drive up in a noodle truck in which they manage to grab Pikachu. The truck releases a metal balloon that they then escape in. Ash takes to the air on Charizard, and has his Pokémon perform various attacks on the balloon to no avail. Eventually Charizard and Squirtle alternate their attacks, causing the balloon to crack so Bulbasaur can break it open. The four Pokémon then team up their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Brandon emerges from the bushes nearby to tell Ash it's time to battle, and that they should make it a 4-on-4 battle with his four Pokémon.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Scott lets Ash know that he could be a Frontier Brain if he beats Brandon, but Ash is more worried about winning first. At the Battle Pyramid, the battle begins with Charizard versus Brandon's Dusclops. Dusclops traps Charizard in battle with the move Mean Look, and then uses Confuse Ray to confuse it. Eventually Charizard snaps out of its confusion. Ash makes a fatal error by having Charizard use Seismic Toss, which has no effect on Ghost-types like Dusclops. Dusclops performs Shadow Punch, knocking Charizard out.

==Plot==
The last stride of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} is upon {{Ash}}, as our heroes are outside of a local [[Pokémon Center]]. As our heroes are about to begin their departure, {{an|Professor Oak}} exits from the establishment and hands Ash a {{i|Poké Ball}}. Ash throws the Poké Ball unleashing the magnificent force of {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, his old companion of [[Kanto]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} rushes over to Bulbasaur and the both reacquaint themselves. The mysterious {{AP|Squirtle}} of the devious [[Squirtle Squad]] rides in [[Officer Jenny]]'s motorcycle as the two speed towards Ash. Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu reacquaint themselves with the old group. {{an|Brock}} once again falls for Jenny's charm but is broken out of his state of confusion by [[Max]]'s stiff pull of his ear. After a few seconds, a silhouette resembling {{AP|Charizard}} appears in the skies and begins closing in on his location. The grumble of Charizard's call can be heard from the distance. Ash welcomes Charizard with open arms and is welcomed by a blast from Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

{{an|May}} calls upon her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} and as the Poké Ball explodes open, Ash's Squirtle uses its {{m|Water Gun}} to keep May's Squirtle suspended in the air. After the water recedes, the two begin dancing gently together. Ash's Squirtle towers over May's unusually small turtle {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As the two play, Brock hands Ash his faithful [[bag|backpack]]. [[Nurse Joy]] gives Ash a parting gift of homemade cookies while Ash prepares his Pokémon for the journey to the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Charizard reassures Ash that he is ready by charring Ash, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur with another spray of its Flamethrower.

As our group continues down a nearby path, Ash comes across a group of logs blocking the path. Charizard uses his strength to propel the logs into the air as Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to slice the logs into small pieces as each Pokémon catches a small piece. After all of the logs have been successfully cut, everyone places the logs into place forming a box. Squirtle uses {{m|Rapid Spin}} to create a wind current as Bulbasaur uses {{m|Vine Whip}} to capture nearby leaves, and Pikachu uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to force the foliage inside of the box structure. After the group finishes, a soft bed of underbrush is formed. Charizard slams down into the box, scattering leaves into the atmosphere. Squirtle becomes furious and launches a Water Gun, hitting Charizard directly on the forehead. Charizard wakes up from its nap and walks over to confront Squirtle. Bulbasaur and Squirtle prepare to dodge Charizard but soon after, Bulbasaur makes the decision to attack Charizard with Vine Whip but Charizard evades the attack and Bulbasaur's attack crashes down on Pikachu. Pikachu's tail begins growing brightly as he ascends into the air and hits Charizard with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. When Ash tries to stop the fight, he and Pikachu are blasted with Charizard's Flamethrower. Pikachu begins building electrical energy launching a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, shocking Ash, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charizard.

The group continues further down the path and soon come to a large tree. Charizard takes to the skies with his wings growing brightly, and Ash recognizes it as {{m|Steel Wing}}. Charizard descends around the tree cutting the fruit loose. Squirtle uses his Water Gun to keep the fruit ascended into the atmosphere while Pikachu and Bulbasaur use Quick Attack and Vine Whip to capture the fruit from the fall.

Dusk has fallen upon our hero while Ash prepares a fire for the night. Charizard uses his Flamethrower to light the fire as everyone moves away from his devastating force. The Flamethrower proves to be unsuccessful, only managing to heat the nearby rocks. Ash realizes that he foolishly forgot to place firewood into the fire pit. Charizard uses a smaller Flamethrower this time to light the fire gently. Night falls upon our heroes as the fire glistens and sparkles under the night sky. Ash reminds Pikachu of their past experiences in Kanto while he also brings up the same instances with Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle.

Morning has arrived for our heroes as training preparations continue throughout the day, Bulbasaur smashes rocks with his {{m|Vine Whip}}, Squirtle practices his {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Charizard once again shows off his Steel Wing attack. Throughout the day, the group's time goes good, with everyone splashing around in a small lake, until things go down much the same as the day prior, everyone once again gets into an altercation that leads to Ash attempting to step in and stop it, Pikachu just shocks him and the rest of the group again. The day concludes once more with our heroes sitting at a glistening fire once more. Nearby, {{TRT}} plan their devious attack to capture Pikachu. After a few seconds, a strange vehicle emerges from the forest while Ash runs to greet the couple. The couple are a pair of ramen dealers who prepare ramen for travelers. An [[James|older man]] greets Ash stating that he needs an electric Pokémon. While Ash is distracted, the old man snatches Pikachu with his companion and escapes into the vehicle. The group speed off and reveal themselves as Team Rocket. The vehicle soon collapses revealing Team Rocket's balloon forged of a form of steel. Ash takes to the skies with Charizard. Bulbasaur attempts to stop the group from escaping with his Razor Leaf but the attack only is deflected from the balloon's outer surface. Charizard launches his Flamethrower but the metal only absorbs the heat. Squirtle uses Water Gun soon after also proving ineffective. Both Pokémon continue heating and cooling the metal weakening it after every attack. The steel soon begins to crack as Bulbasaur delivers the final blow causing the balloon to crush into the ground. Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charizard launch a combination of {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Fire}} attacks clashing with Team Rocket for a direct hit and blasting the trio into the sky. As Team Rocket blasts off, [[Jessie]] begins devouring a bowl of ramen fighting off [[James]], {{MTR}}, and [[James's Mime Jr.]]. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} releases itself from the Poké Ball giving its notorious call. The trio disperse into the sky as a blinding light.

Ash checks the status of his Pokémon and notices the expression on Charizard's face. Charizard has noticed a nearby human within the vicinity. The underbrush moves gently as Ash welcomes [[Pyramid King Brandon]] with exuberance. Brandon extends an invitation for the second official battle. Morning arrives upon our hero as the two head towards the Pokémon Center. As our heroes are seated inside of the center, [[Scott]] introduces himself as the owner of the Battle Frontier. He reveals that any participant who can successfully complete the Battle Frontier is entered into the [[Hall of Fame]] and becomes a [[Frontier Brain]] candidate. As the time for the battle comes and Ash and Brandon take their places on the battlefield, the Battle Pyramid's ceiling opens up. Brandon calls upon his {{p|Dusclops}} while Ash selects Charizard as his start.

Charizard doesn't hesitate to being the battle with his Flamethrower as Dusclops counterattacks with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} with both attacks clashing and dispersing into the atmosphere. Charizard charges and uses {{m|Steel Wing}} as Dusclops uses {{m|Shadow Punch}} making for a direct hit. Charizard recovers and strikes down with {{m|Dragon Breath}}. After Dusclops manages to recover, he counterattacks with {{m|Mean Look}}. Charizard charges his wings again and descends towards Dusclops for another Steel Wing attack, which hits directly. Dusclops takes advantage of Charizard being up close and uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} to confuse Charizard, which works perfectly. Ash attempts to recall Charizard back into his Poké Ball but proves unsuccessful due to Mean Look. Dusclops strikes Charizard with another Shadow Punch, sending it flying back into a wall as Ash tries to help Charizard recover. Dusclops strikes down with another Will-O-Wisp for a direct hit. Ash attempts to remind Charizard of his past battles while he tries to grasp consciousness once more. Charizard snaps out of confusion and launches another Dragon Breath attack for a direct hit. Dusclops launches another Will-O-Wisp attack knocking Charizard backwards. Charizard is now pretty tired after all the damage taken, and Dusclops is also showing signs of fatigue. Charizard blazes forward with another Steel Wing attack, hitting directly and rotates around to attempt to complete a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. As Charizard prepares to finish the attack, Dusclops's body disappears from Charizard's grasp due to being a {{type|Ghost}}. Dusclops takes advantage of its foe and uses another Shadow Punch to [[fainting|incapacitate]] Charizard. With Ash's most powerful Pokémon down, will he still be able to defeat Brandon, or have his Battle Frontier dreams gone up in flames?

==Trivia==
* There was no [[Pokémon Trivia Quiz]] for this episode.

* During {{TRT}}'s plan to steal Pikachu, [[Jessie]] says "noodles, hot and fresh off the noodle tree". This may be a reference to the infamous {{wp|Spaghetti-tree hoax|April Fools report on spaghetti trees}} broadcast on the British program ''{{wp|Panorama (TV programme)|Panorama}}'' in 1957.

===Errors===
* {{Ash}} refers to {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} as his first Pokémon, when in reality, he {{pkmn2|caught}} {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Pidgeot}} before the latter three. They have not been in his possession since ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'' and ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', respectively.
** However, this is possibly because Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle are the first four Pokémon that he caught that he technically still owns, as he formally released Butterfree and Pidgeot.
* When Charizard returns, its eyes are a light-green. Before it uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, its eyes are colored blue.
* In Ash's flashback of Charizard, he was shown battling [[Noland's Articuno]] in his [[original series]] clothing instead of {{series|Advanced Generation}} clothing. Also, it shows Charizard using {{m|Dragon Breath}} on [[Harrison's Blaziken]], when it hadn't learned that move at that point.
* In the English dub, Ash says "A lot has happened over the years", despite the fact that he did not age at all, still being ten years old after all of the seasons.
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, [[Scott]] incorrectly states that he's the owner of the [[Frontier Brain]], instead of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.
* Charizard is missing the pads on its feet when it comes out of its Pokéball during the battle against Brandon.

==Blurb==

On the way to the Grand Festival, our heroes are swarmed by a group of Aipom who swipe Ash's hat and May's ribbon case! That's not all—the Aipom also cleaned out an orchard belonging to a farmer, Taylor. He says the local Pokémon have started acting strangely, and it might have something to do with a strange monster recently seen in the mountains. Everyone sets out to investigate and get May's ribbons back.

Up in the mountains, the Aipom have brought their loot as a tribute to the monster, a Mountain King who's represented by none other than Team Rocket. Ash and his friends show up and challenge them, but then the Mountain King appears: a giant Slaking! Team Rocket orders the Pokémon to chase off our heroes in the name of the Mountain King, and everyone splits up to get away. In the commotion, Ash saves the Aipom who took his hat, then runs off and to find his friends.

Ash and his friends regroup and confront Team Rocket, but their giant Slaking grabs May! Ash's Pokémon get her to safety and Combusken's flames burn the Slaking to reveal that it's a giant robot. Aipom shows up with the other Pokémon and help wreck the robot now that Team Rocket's tricks have been revealed. Then it's just a matter of convincing Team Rocket to return May's ribbons and leave the scene—with encouragement from Combusken and Pikachu. Taylor gets his Berries back and Ash gets his hat... as well as a new fan!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} make their way towards [[Indigo Plateau]] for the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. Down the road behind them, a man calls out to a group of {{p|Aipom}} running off with his watering can and [[Berry|Berries]]. Some of the Aipom jump on the group's heads, including one who snatches {{an|May}}'s [[Ribbon]] case with its tail and {{AP|another|Aipom}} that discards the watering can and takes Ash's {{AP|hat}}.

They head back to a farmhouse, where the man introduces himself as {{OBP|Taylor|AG179}} and treats Ash and his friends to hot beverages. Taylor says that he grows Berries and makes them into [[Pokéblock]] to sell. Ash questions the man about the Aipom, who Taylor says are part of a group of Pokémon that live in the mountains and would only eat from his trees when they were hungry. Lately, however, they have been taking all of his produce. He then tells a story about a traveler who became lost on the mountain roads and came across a giant monster. Taylor does not know if the monster is involved with the Pokémon taking his Berries, but they all agree to head up to the mountain, uncover the mysteries, and regain their possessions.

Meanwhile, {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} are performing a small ritual as the five Aipom present their stolen goods. Meowth wears a pair of {{wp|geta (footwear)|geta}}, making a clacking sound while Wobbuffet has on a red and white {{wp|hakama}}. When the large, wooden doors open, the monster's silhouette appears and roars, making the Aipom scatter in fear. Meowth and Wobbuffet are pulled inside and the doors shut. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] finally reveal themselves examining the goods obtained from the Aipom. James finds May's Ribbon case, which Jessie grabs and excitedly proclaims is her ticket to the Grand Festival. Meowth and James are shocked by her determination, while Wobbuffet simply calls out affirmatively.

The group is headed towards the area of the disturbance as a group of {{p|Mankey}} scurry across their path with more Berries. The other mountain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, some {{p|Vigoroth}} and {{p|Slaking}}, present Berries to the disguised Meowth and Wobbuffet as well. Ash and company observe from a bush and see the Aipom wearing Ash's hat. The doors open again, partially revealing the monster, frightening the mountain Pokémon away. Before the disguised {{TRT}} Pokémon escape, May runs out to get inside. Everyone else follows and they barely make it. May questions Meowth about her Ribbon case, but Jessie shows it to her arrogantly. She continues to taunt May, saying that she will use her Ribbons to win the Grand Festival.

The monster comes forth and reveals itself to be an enormous Slaking. The sight frightens the group as the creature causes tremors by stomping. The wooden doors open again as the mountain Pokémon return to the scene. The giant Slaking roars, which Meowth interprets as a command to get rid of the "Twerps". The Pokémon obey, chase them away, and eventually encircle them on the road. Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} warn them with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} aimed at the ground. Taylor suggests they split up, so he goes down the road with May and [[Max]] while Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and Pikachu head in the opposite direction. The Aipom pursue the latter group while the rest go after Taylor, May, and Max. As they flee, Brock releases some [[Pokémon food]] to occupy the Aipom. The Aipom with Ash's hat keep chasing them and jumps on Ash's head, knocking him down a hill. As they both tumble and slide, Ash grabs a small tree growing from the side and saves Aipom from the fall. After a few moments, the branch begins to break and they fall again, but are cushioned by a thick bush. Noticing that the Aipom has lost his hat, Ash goes after it, but Aipom beats him to it and places it atop her head once more. Meanwhile, the other group has managed to lose their pursuers by hiding in a bush.

After cleaning himself in a nearby river, Ash tells the now-friendly Aipom that she cannot trust Team Rocket. Brock and Pikachu come running from the distance and join him in returning to the wooden wall. Heeding Ash's advice and still wearing his hat, Aipom rejoins her comrades as they eat Brock's food. Aipom begins to talk as the other mountain Pokémon show up. The gigantic Slaking finishes devouring the food and lifts Team Rocket on top of its shoulder to begin their trek toward the Indigo Plateau. Taylor, May, and Max climb over the wall using ropes and confront Team Rocket, whereupon Jessie taunts May again with her Ribbons. Slaking begins moving forward defiantly, so May calls upon {{TP|May|Combusken}} to stop it with {{m|Fire Spin}}. Slaking merely blows a gust of wind to dissipate the flames, tears down the wooden wall, and continues down the path. The other group arrives and Pikachu blasts a Thunderbolt at Slaking's feet, prompting Team Rocket to perform their {{motto}}. Slaking extends its hand, grabs May, and begins climbing a nearby tower of rock. Ash releases {{AP|Swellow}} to save May. Slaking reaches the top and swats at Swellow, but managing to drop May in the process. Thinking quickly, Ash calls upon {{AP|Sceptile}} to catch May just in time. Swellow then knocks Slaking and Team Rocket off of the tower with {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

May gets her revenge by directing Combusken to attack with Fire Spin. Brock releases his {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} to douse Slaking off with {{m|Water Gun}}. The giant Slaking is revealed to be a {{TP|Team Rocket|giant robot|mechas}} constructed of metal, now with Team Rocket inside. The Slaking mecha begins banging its chest as the Mankey, Vigoroth, Slaking, and Aipom return and attack with thrown rocks, tossed large stones, banging fists, and {{m|Scratch}}es, respectively. After a few moments, the Pokémon flee from the mecha as its joints explode, releasing the stolen food and ejecting its occupants. Jessie then shows May her Ribbon case once more in arrogance and calls upon {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to attack with {{m|Bite}}. Combusken hits first with {{m|Quick Attack}}, however. Seviper is told to Bite again, but Combusken dodges and strikes with {{m|Sky Uppercut}}. Seviper plows into Jessie, who lets go of the Ribbon case to be caught by May, who is relieved to have it back. With Meowth's urging, James releases {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and gets another spiny hug before directing it to use {{m|Needle Arm}}. Pikachu ends the confrontation with a powerful {{m|Volt Tackle}}, sending Cacnea off with such force that it takes Team Rocket along with it into the sky.

The group continues heading for the Grand Festival after the Pokémon and Taylor wish them well. Ash continues down the path without his hat, but notices it atop a rock structure along with a pink flower and an apple. He remarks on Aipom being a cool Pokémon after all and sets off again on the road. In a nearby tree, Aipom spies on Ash and smiles.

==Blurb==

Our heroes have finally made it back to Pewter City, where Brock once again comes home to find the Pewter Gym looking stranger than ever. When he gets in the door, he discovers that his mom and dad are headed off on a free prize vacation, leaving the Gym in the care of three suspicious Gym remodelers who promised to make the Pewter Gym fashionable. His parents even took his Ludicolo to carry suitcases! Of course, it's all another Team Rocket scheme in disguise.

On a happier note, Brock meets Steelix, his evolved Onix. His siblings beg him to help them put the Gym back to normal. Team Rocket returns and realizes their new plan is full of twerps, but Team Rocket's Delibird drops off Poké Balls for them containing a Charizard and Aggron! With this firepower, they go in and challenge Brock to a battle—if they win, they decorate the Gym any way they want! Ash offers to help Brock out and it's time for a double battle.

Brock uses his Steelix, Ash uses his Donphan. Charizard is a tough opponent for Steelix to go up against and Aggron's no slouch, either! But Brock and Ash have teamwork on their side, unlike Team Rocket. Meowth sneaks off to steal Poké Balls while everyone is distracted, but Max blows its cover. Now Team Rocket's secret is out, and Brock's brother Forrest is outraged. Forrest, Brock, and Ash team up to beat Team Rocket. When Brock's parents come home, they get quite an earful from Brock, but family is family, after all. As for Team Rocket, they discover that all the bonuses they were getting were really meant for Butch and Cassidy!

==Plot==
In a blaze of glory, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are headed towards [[Pewter Gym]] and are getting even closer to the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Upon successful arrival at the [[Gym]], strange looks overcome our heroes. {{an|Brock}} explodes with the sight of the frightful remodeling of his beloved Gym.

Brock is welcomed back with open arms as {{Brocksib|his siblings}} surround him. After a few moments, all of his siblings form a single line. The oldest sibling instructs Brock that [[Lola|mother]] and {{ka|Flint|father}} have left with the others confirming the statement.

Brock places a call to his mother and father who happen to be at an {{wp|airport}}. Brock is upset while his mother is in a joyous mood, acting as if everything is okay. As Brock displays his anger, his mother just ignores his comments and wishes him a goodbye as {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} grant him the same parting.

After she disconnects the call, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|two people dressed in airport staff attire]] and a {{MTR}} arrive, handing Brock's father two tickets for a honeymoon. As the plane jets off into the sky, {{TRT}} plot to capture the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of Pewter Gym now without a [[Gym Leader]]. Meowth goes into his usual [[Boss fantasy|illusions]] with {{an|Giovanni}} being pampered by Pewter Gym's former Pokémon.

Brock explores the newly renovated Gym further, noting the various streaks of colors plastered across the walls and floor. An adjacent door opens to the pathway and a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} grasps Brock's body and moves him closer. Brock is in a confused state as he did not realize that his {{p|Onix}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into Steelix while he was away. As soon as Steelix becomes friendly, Brock finally notices that Steelix was his original Onix while Steelix places him on the ground. After a few seconds, {{p|Golem}}, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} stampede into the arena to display their pleasure with Brock's return. Brock turns to thank his younger sibling, [[Forrest]], for his hard work and commitment in assisting the Pewter Gym.

Brock prepares a delectable lunch for his siblings, {{Ash}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]]. Meanwhile, Team Rocket begins plotting their attack on Pewter Gym. After a few seconds, a {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} descends from the air and delivers two {{i|Poké Ball}}s to [[Jessie]]. Team Rocket escape into a nearby field and call upon the two Pokémon. After the blinding light disperses, an {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Aggron}} and a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Charizard}} are revealed. Now with two powerful Pokémon within their possession, Team Rocket arrive at Brock's residence and ring the doorbell. Everyone rushes to the door to see who the visitor is. Once Brock answers the door, Jessie and James are quick to forward a challenge to the ominous Pewter Gym. The kids hint that Team Rocket (or rather, their disguised selves) were responsible for the makeover (or vandalism).

The battle gets underway as Ash and Brock call upon their majestic Steelix and {{AP|Donphan}}. Team Rocket release their Charizard and Aggron. Jessie doesn't hesitate to begin the battle as Charizard blazes forward with a {{m|Flamethrower}} striking Steelix directly. Donphan blazes forward striking Charizard with a {{m|Take Down}} and breaking the ferocious steam of flames. Aggron launches forward with a {{m|Mega Punch}} colliding with Donphan and pushing him backwards. Steelix flares forward but comes to meet Charizard's ferocious {{m|Fire Spin}} and gets knocked backwards. Aggron follows up with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, tearing up the Gym floor and finally coming to meet its target, Donphan, striking for a direct hit.

Donphan and Steelix begin to recover from the attack as Ash and Brock reformulate their strategy. Donphan begins the second round by exploding forward with a {{m|Rollout}} attack which knocks Charizard off balance. Steelix follows up with an {{m|Iron Tail}} knocking Charizard backwards and then grasps onto it with {{m|Bind}}, constricting and restraining Charizard. Aggron launches a devastating Hyper Beam which hits Steelix directly and makes it release Charizard from its grasp. Charizard explodes into the air and counterattacks with another Flamethrower as Steelix strategically uses its tail to uplift rock to guard against and disperse the fire attack, following right away with a {{m|Dragon Breath}}, which makes a direct hit to Charizard and sends it smashing it into the wall. Donphan the charges at Charizard with Take Down, making another direct hit in a row. Aggron launches a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack striking Donphan knocking it backwards. Aggron continues the attack with another Water Pulse. The impending wave of water closes in on Donphan as Steelix strikes Donphan launching him over the wave striking Aggron. As the battle continues, Meowth escapes off into the distance, but not without Max noticing his departure.

Meowth collects the Poké Balls of Pewter Gym as Max arrives to confront Meowth. As his hat falls off, Max realizes that Meowth is actually Meowth of Team Rocket. Jessie and James attempt to recover from the last round as Charizard launches another Fire Spin attack and manages to hit Aggron. Both Pokémon begin feuding and finally charge a corresponding Flamethrower and Hyper Beam which manage to collide and fuse creating a magnificent explosion enveloping Team Rocket. As the dust clears, Team Rocket's outfits are charred and soon crumble away revealing themselves to Ash and Brock. Meowth attempts to escape but Forrest manages to call upon his Geodude who {{m|Tackle}}s Meowth knocking it off course. Meowth drops the bag and a few Poké Balls spill out from inside.

As Brock attempts to confront Team Rocket, Forrest interrupts and asks them why they are attempting to steal the Poké Balls. Forrest tells Geodude to use {{m|Sandstorm}}. Aggron and Charizard go on the attack with Hyper Beam and Flamethrower while Steelix uplifts more rock to defend against the impending attacks. Geodude and Steelix then blast forward, striking Charizard and Aggron with Mega Punch and Iron Tail. As Charizard and Aggron stumble from the attack, everyone contributes to Team Rockets defeat with a fusion of majestic attacks. Team Rocket blazes off like a brilliant star.

Brock's mother and father finally arrive home as Brock explains the previous situation to them. As usual, his mother ignores his comments and goes to grab a wand shaped item to display to Brock.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket hang from atop a tree as Delibird arrives to claim the Poké Balls it gave them earlier, explaining that they were supposed to go to [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. Team Rocket attempts to reason with it but it only escapes off into the distance. A grand departure is exchanged with our heroes. The Flames of Courage grow ever so brighter for Ash and his friends as they near ever so closer to the forbidding Battle Pyramid.

==Trivia==
* This episode's dub title is a play on the title of the reality TV show ''{{wp|Trading Spaces}}'', which is about home renovation, much like what {{TRT}} did to the [[Pewter Gym]].
* This is the second time that the Pewter Gym has been redecorated. The first occasion was in ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.
** Brock even references that occasion after seeing the battlefield.
* [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]] is used as background music.
* This is the first appearance of [[Team Rocket]]'s {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} since ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', 181 episodes earlier, as well as its only appearance in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.
* This episode has one of the few times Team Rocket calls one of [[Ash's Friends]] by name, with James comparing Brock's siblings to a "Brock lookalike contest".

===Errors===
* In one scene, [[Jessie]]'s earrings are red instead of green.
* During the battle in the dub, Jessie says "light thrower" instead of "{{m|Flamethrower}}".
* In one scene, the {{i|Poké Ball}} print on {{an|May}}'s bandanna is colored black instead of white.

<gallery>

===Dub edits===
* In the dub, after {{p|Steelix}} is hit by {{p|Aggron}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and targeted by {{p|Charizard}}'s Flamethrower, Brock tells it to "dodge and use Dragon Breath". Steelix instead smashes the [[Gym]] floor with {{m|Iron Tail}}, lifting up rocks as a shield. This could be a dubbing error or some improvisation on the part of Steelix.

'''Lillie''' (Japanese: '''リーリエ''' ''Lilie'') is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]] and one of {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}}. She made her debut in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Younger Lillie.png|thumb|250px|left|The incident that caused Lillie's fear]]
Lillie is the daughter of [[Lusamine]] and [[Mohn]], and the younger sister of {{an|Gladion}}, who lives in a mansion estate in [[Hau'oli City]] with her butler [[Hobbes]] and other servants.

Gladion revealed in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'' that she developed a crippling fear of touching Pokémon after an incident occurred during a visit to [[Aether Paradise]], where she was attacked by an [[Ultra Beast]] that was later identified in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'' as {{p|Nihilego}}. According to Gladion, a {{p|Type: Null}} rescued her from Nihilego. The trauma Lillie suffered caused her to suppress her memory of the event.

Lillie returned to her Hau'oli estate while her mother remained behind and her brother ran away, leaving her under the care of her family's servants, including [[Hobbes]]. Despite her fear, Lillie continued to enjoy studying Pokémon and subsequently enrolled at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]].

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
Lillie debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where she tried in vain to warn {{Ash}} away from being trampled by her classmates' {{p|Tauros}} as he stumbled upon the school. She quickly demonstrated her fear of Pokémon when she cowered behind Ash upon being approached by one of the Tauros, only to be startled by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Later, when Ash described an unfamiliar Pokémon that he but no one else had witnessed, Lillie deduced that he saw {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the island's [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]].

In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge]]'', after Ash enrolled in the school and showed his new classmates the [[Z-Ring]] he received from Tapu Koko, Lillie explained the guardian's fickle and mischievous nature to him. She and the other classmates saw Tapu Koko for themselves when it appeared to challenge Ash and Pikachu to a [[Pokémon battle]], during which Lillie advised Ash about Tapu Koko's techniques.

In ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', Lillie agreed to watch over a newly discovered [[Pokémon Egg]] from [[Mount Lanakila]] for a class assignment, seeing it as an opportunity to finally overcome her fear of touching Pokémon. After several failed exercises at petting Ash's Pikachu, {{TP|Ash|Rowlet}}, and {{rotom}}, Lillie was able to touch the Egg when she instinctively shielded it from a wild {{p|Salandit}}.

[[File:Lillie fear of Pokémon.png|thumb|220px|Lillie's fear of touching Pokémon]]
In ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', Lillie watched her friends participate in the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. At the end of the episode, her Egg hatched and was discovered to be an {{alo|Vulpix}}.

Lillie officially caught the Vulpix, which she [[nickname]]d [[Snowy]], in ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', making her a [[Pokémon Trainer]] like the others. Though her fear of touching Pokémon initially persisted, she spent time bonding with Snowy. Eventually they were confronted by Team Rocket, and Snowy used {{m|Powder Snow}} to protect Lillie from {{TP|James|Mareanie}}. When Snowy was blasted off a rooftop by Mareanie's {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, Lillie leapt off after it and caught it in her arms. They were saved by Ash's Rowlet. After that, Team Rocket was frozen by Snowy's Powder Snow and taken away by {{an|Bewear}}. From that point on, Lillie was okay with holding Snowy, though she still froze at contact with other Pokémon.

Lillie was reunited with her brother in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''. Gladion was surprised by the fact that Lillie was able to touch Pokémon again and told her to treasure her Vulpix. Lillie was troubled by how much more cold and distant Gladion appeared to be from the last time Lillie saw him six months ago, but Ash reassured her that Gladion was still a good person, reminding her of her brother's words of encouragement. At the end of the episode, Lillie arrived at the beach, where Ash and Gladion had held a battle, and became annoyed by the fact that her brother took off so early without saying goodbye.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', {{an|Professor Kukui}} tasked everyone with switching their partner Pokémon with somebody else. Pikachu was given to Lillie while Snowy went to Ash. At first, Lillie's fear gave her trouble getting closer to Pikachu. After a battle with Hobbes in which she managed to defeat his {{p|Oricorio}}, she found herself able to touch Pikachu when she gave him a hug in celebration. After the weekend had passed by, she showed her surprised classmates that she was able to touch Pikachu at will. Lillie then promised herself to take it step by step until she was able to touch every kind of Pokémon.

Lillie once again combated her fear in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', where she decided to use a Ride Pokémon, {{p|Stoutland}}, without any protection. She was initially overwhelmed and ran away, but after some encouraging words from Professor Kukui and Olivia, and remembering what led to her recent experiences of touching Snowy and Pikachu, she was finally able to ride Stoutland by the end of the day. Although she couldn't join the treasure hunt with the others during the episode due to her fear, Professor Kukui stated that she found her own treasure, being one step closer to overcoming her fear for good.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', she and Sophocles had a [[Multi Battle]] against {{an|Brock}}. Sophocles started attacking first, but he made the mistake of thinking that Electric-type moves would work on [[Brock's Geodude]]. Lillie then assured him that she got this and commanded Snowy to use Powder Snow. Much to her and Sophocles' surprise, Brock countered the attack by using a [[Counter Shield]]. After the battle was over, she was fascinated by how amazing [[Gym Leader]]s were.

[[File:Lillie fear overcome.png|thumb|left|250px|Lillie, no longer afraid of touching Pokémon]]
Lillie was present in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' when Ash brought a {{p|Cosmog}} he had discovered to class; because no one knew the Pokémon's name, Lillie decided to name it [[Nebby]]. Later, Lillie reunited with Lusamine, demonstrating her annoyance with her mother for treating her like a young child. Lillie further explained how her mother never seemed to respect her wishes, revealing that Lusamine once evolved a {{p|Clefairy}} Lillie wanted to take care of, finding her daughter's reason for wanting to keep it unevolved to be illogical.

In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'', Lillie argued with Lusamine for putting work before her family, and demanded not to be bothered by her anymore. She later regretted their fight, wanting to meet Gladion again as well. This desire caused Nebby to teleport her to [[Ten Carat Hill]], where Gladion was hiding with "Silvally", the same Type: Null that rescued her as a child. The sight of Type: Null caused Lillie's repressed memory of it lunging at her to resurface, making her believe it had attacked her. This once again rendered her unable to touch any Pokémon, including Snowy.

In ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Lillie decided to travel to various locations related to her past in order to fully regain the memories of the incident that made her unable to touch Pokémon. With the assistance of Ash and Nebby, Lillie went to several different locations before ending up at the Secret Lab area of Aether Paradise. Immediately upon arrival, Lillie and Ash were attacked by [[Faba]], who aimed to prevent Lillie from regaining her memories, as it would risk putting himself in trouble. Faba was defeated by the timely arrival of Gladion and Lusamine. In order to save Lillie, Type: Null evolved into {{p|Silvally}} and defeated Faba's Pokémon. Now remembering her full past and realizing Silvally never attacked her, Lillie apologized to Silvally for misjudging it and thanked it for saving her life, which allowed her to get over her trauma completely and regain the ability to touch all types of Pokémon.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Lillie enjoyed her regained ability to touch Pokémon by playing with them at the Pokémon School. When Faba kidnapped Nebby and took it to Aether Paradise while everyone was distracted, Lillie and Ash immediately gave pursuit, joined by Gladion and Lusamine. They headed to Faba's location, only to find that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. The group tried to fight off Nihilego, but it proved too powerful and easily defeated their Pokémon. When Gladion tried to protect his family from the Ultra Beast, Lusamine pushed him out of the way and was captured instead. Nihilego then proceeded to drag Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole while Lillie watched in horror.

[[File:Lillie's Second Outfit.png|thumb|250px|Lillie's second, temporary outfit]]
In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Lillie decided to set off to rescue her mother, donning a new set of clothes to begin her journey. She was joined by Gladion, and the two snuck out at night to head towards the [[Altar of the Sunne]] on [[Poni Island]]. After making their way through the island, they found themselves in battle with a group of {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}} led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}}. With Lillie's knowledge of [[type]]s, Gladion gave Silvally a [[Fairy Memory]], allowing it to easily defeat Totem Kommo-o. The two were quickly joined by Ash and the other classmates, who had decided to help them rescue Lusamine.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Lillie and the others arrived at [[Ultra Deep Sea]], where they found that Lusamine had fused with Nihilego. Lusamine, reduced to a childlike state, claimed the Ultra Beasts as her own possessions and fled in order to prevent the group from taking them away from her. As the group chased Lusamine down, most of her classmates were forced to stay behind in order to fight off Lusamine's Pokémon, who had been powered up due to Nihilego's influence, until only Gladion, Ash and Lilie herself were left. Lillie was forced to stay behind in order to battle Lusamine's {{p|Clefable}}, though she was assisted by Ash's {{AP|Lycanroc}}. Due to the bonds she had with Clefable, Lillie was able to free it from Nihilego's control.

In ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Lillie and Gladion joined Ash in battling Lusamine herself. During the battle, Lillie vented to Lusamine about all of the things she hated about her and begged her mother to try and fight Nihilego's control. Lillie's speech managed to return Lusamine to her senses, but when she tried reaching out to Lillie, Nihilego took full control of their fused form and attacked. With the power of their newly gained [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used a powerful {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} that defeated Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its control in the process. Afterward, Lillie finally reconciled with Lusamine and took her back to their world with the others.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Lillie returned to her usual attire. She attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and [[Professor Burnet]]. During the post-nuptials, Lillie and her classmates accepted Lusamine's invitation to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to catching stray Ultra Beasts and returning them to their natural habitats.

[[File:Lillie Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|left|250px|Lillie in her Ultra Guardians uniform]]
As a part of the Ultra Guardians, Lillie and her Pokémon have been critical to the success of the group's missions. In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Lillie and her classmates were given their first task, capturing a {{p|Buzzwole}} that emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] onto Melemele Island and began causing havoc. During the mission, Lillie helped heal a wild {{p|Snorlax}} that was drained of its energy by the Ultra Beast.

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', Lillie and her classmates watched a fireworks show. The show was interrupted by a strange creature that used its exploding head to create a fireworks show of its own. The next day, the Ultra Guardians were called down by Lusamine, who revealed the creature from before was the Ultra Beast {{p|Blacephalon}}. The Ultra Guardians set off to find Blacephalon, but their efforts to track it down only led to a different Ultra Beast, later named {{p|Xurkitree}} by Lusamine. Eventually, Lillie managed to catch Blacephalon with the assistance of Mallow and {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}} while {{an|Lana}} caught Xurkitree, allowing the two Ultra Beasts to be later released back to their homes.

In ''[[SM080|Not Caving Under Pressure!]]'', Lillie and her classmates traveled back to Melemele Island after [[SM079|spending time]] at [[Hokulani Observatory]]. After taking a shortcut to the ferry, the group got lost in an ice cave at [[Mount Lanakila]] and were separated into multiple small groups. There, Lillie, Mallow, and Sophocles befriended a group of {{alo|Sandshrew}}, who were training to battle a {{p|Tyranitar}} that had invaded their territory. Lillie used Snowy and the leader Sandshrew in a [[Double Battle]] against the Tyranitar and successfully drove it away. The leader Sandshrew used an [[Ice Stone]] that Sophocles's {{TP|Sophocles|Charjabug}} had found to evolve into a {{p|Sandslash}} and awarded Lillie an [[Icium Z]] as thanks. After Lillie's group reunited with the others, Sophocles gave Lillie another Ice Stone that Charjabug had found. She offered to let Snowy evolve with the stone, but it refused out of fear. As a result, Lillie decided to hold on to the stone in case Snowy ever changed her mind.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, Lillie and her classmates embarked on their fifth mission, to investigate the situation at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that Gladion would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Lana, Kiawe, Ash, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the "{{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}". Before they could translate the mural, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} chasing after it. The group was eventually able to solve the unfolding crisis in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where they, their Pokémon, Lunala, {{AP|Poipole}}'s friends, and everyone else back in Alola shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release [[Nebby]]. After Ash and Gladion used Nebby and Lunala to replenish Necrozma's strength to revert it back to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}, it restored Poipole's home world back to its original state. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.

In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Lillie and her classmates arrived on Poni Island to do individual research projects for school. Lillie's project was to study the numerous Pokémon living on the island. In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Lillie encountered Gladion again, and learned that he had come to Poni Island to participate in a grand trial, which involved a battle against {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}. Gladion revealed that he wanted to see their father Mohn, and Tapu Fini was rumored to have the ability to allow anyone to meet with those that have died. Lillie challenged Gladion to a battle, but was interrupted by Ash, who crash-landed in front of them after being sent flying by [[Hapu]]'s {{p|Mudsdale}}. Believing that a battle between Ash and Gladion would be more exciting, Lillie suggested they battle each other instead. While watching the battle, Lillie explained to Hapu how much she learned from Ash and how an [[Island Kahuna]] brings out the strength between a Trainer and their Pokémon. After Gladion won the battle, Lillie witnessed Tapu Fini flying above the quartet. In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Lillie ended up being trapped in Tapu Fini's mist alongside Gladion. Despite wandering around and searching for their father, Mohn never appeared in front of them. After learning from Hapu that this could indicate he is still alive, they decided to tell Lusamine about it.

In [[SM116]], Lusamine took Lillie and Gladion to Mohn's old study, where they found Mohn's [[Z-Ring]] and an inactive {{p|Magearna}} that Mohn planned to repair and give to Lillie, but was unable to activate it before he disappeared. Wanting to become stronger, Lillie, along with her classmates and Professor Kukui, asked [[Hala]] if she could use the Z-Ring. Sensing Lillie's determination, Hala had Lillie and Snowy perform {{m|Subzero Slammer}} in front of him. Though their effort to use the [[Z-Move]] failed, Lillie was allowed to temporarily hold on to the Z-Ring. Later, after consulting Gladion and Lusamine, Lillie decided to care for Magearna and activate it herself.

==Character==
[[File:Lillie and Hobbes.png|thumb|250px|Lillie and Hobbes]]
Lillie is a polite, innocent, and kindhearted girl from a wealthy upbringing, who always cares for and shows concern for others. Due to the trauma she sustained when she was attacked by a {{p|Nihilego}} and rescued by [[Gladion's Silvally]] as a child, she is terrified of physically interacting with Pokémon, and tends to freeze up whenever one Pokémon enters her personal space; in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', she goes so far as to wear a full suit of diving gear to avoid making contact with Pokémon during a fishing class. When other characters point out her fear, she denies it by saying she simply avoids Pokémon by choice until she concedes to her inability in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilirating Adventure]]''. Despite this, Lillie enjoys studying Pokémon from a researcher's perspective, and is comfortable with being around them at a safe distance. In ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', she became comfortable with touching her own [[Snowy|Pokémon]], and she has been shown touching other Pokémon since then, such as {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'' and a Stoutland in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]''. However, in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'', she regresses to the point where she can't even touch Snowy after her memory of Silvally resurfaces, in which Silvally seemingly attacked her. After remembering that Silvally had protected her from Nihilego years earlier, Lillie completely overcame her fear, becoming eager to make contact with as many Pokémon as possible.

Lillie is extremely knowledgeable about the behavior, types, and background of Alola's resident Pokémon species and [[regional variant]]s, including [[guardian deities]] such as {{p|Tapu Koko}}. However, she appears to know little about Pokémon in other [[region]]s, as seen when she expresses surprise that {{p|Exeggutor}}—a {{2t|Grass|Dragon}}-type Pokémon in Alola—is a Grass/{{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon elsewhere. She also has a tendency to bring up information that she has gathered from books. In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', Lillie is shown to enjoy writing in her journal before she goes to sleep.
[[File:Lillie Icium Z.png|thumb|left|250px|Lillie after receiving an Icium Z]]
Lillie is shown to have a strained relationship with her mother, [[Lusamine]]. As shown in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' and ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', she is seen frequently getting exasperated whenever Lusamine treats her like a child, acting completely unlike her more reserved and quiet self. Another example of this was Lusamine's decision to evolve her {{p|Clefairy}}, whom Lillie was close to, into {{p|Clefable}} without ever considering Lillie's feelings on the matter, thus upsetting Lillie greatly. She is also constantly annoyed whenever Lusamine becomes distracted by her work and prioritizes it over spending time with her. However, ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' reveals how the two were much closer during Lillie's youth before Lusamine became more absorbed in her Ultra Beast research. During the events of ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', after Lusamine had fallen under {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}'s control, Lillie finally told her how much she hated her for her babying attitude, especially since Lusamine had been acting even more like a child under the Ultra Beast's influence. Lillie also refused to accept the possessed Lusamine as her mother unless she could fight its control, admitting that Lusamine was an incredibly strong person for keeping up her research for many years. After her words reached through to Lusamine, Lillie's relationship with her improved considerably, admiring her mother's compassion for starting the [[Ultra Guardians]] to rescue lost Ultra Beasts.

Lillie appears to be lacking in athletic skills, as she failed to throw Poké Balls, such as in ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'' and ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', or even plastic balls onto a target, as shown in the extra scene of the latter episode. She also could not jump over the vaulting box in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]''.

Lillie is shown to enjoy taking photos of Pokémon and sightseeing in general. This was seen in ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', where she and Snowy spent much of their time doing so at [[Poni Island]] as part of their research project. In the [[SM106|following episode]], she was shown to be a competent artist, as she drew a fairly accurate sketch of a {{p|Gumshoos}} that she had seen the previous day.

LuigiRobs14:

Hey I'm LuigiRobs14 I've been a Pokémon fan since I was 5 the fisrt game I played was my friends Pokémon Red But I didn't get into the series for real until I got LeafGreen in 2004 and was hooked from then on I've played all the handheld games except FireRed, Gold and Crystal however I hope too in the future.

When I play through the games I prefer to use a balanced team rather than focus on one type, I study the type chart completely when I chose my Pokémon and make sure that my Pokémon can cover for each others weaknesses so my teams won't be at a disadvantage in some battles, I prefer not to battle online as most of the opponents I get turn their game off or break the connection when They start to lose also I can never find time to anyway.

My Favorite type is Grass and my favourite Pokémon is Torterra as it can take and deal out attacks like a beast which is good because I tend too be a bit reckless in battles which is probably why I didn't do so well in my Nuzlocke attempt of Black 2 which had me losing 12 Pokémon before reaching Nimbassa city which was made worse when my Pignite which I got from Bianca who I had raised from level 5-23 lost against a Darumaka owned by a Pokémon Ranger in The Desort Resort, He was named Hardy after Hardyt3kyoyo who's videos got me interested in trying a Nuzlocke run of my own, If I do another one in the future I hope to do much better and refine my battling skiils.

After a while I started writing down the teams I used in case I played the same game again as I prefer Using diffrent teams which I did from Diamond onward in the order that I played the games for the first time, the only Pokémon which may be the exception is my Starters, sometimes.

Diamond:

Torterra ♂ - Starter.
Staraptor ♂ - Caught at Route 201 (as Starly).
Raichu ♂ - Caught at the Trophy Garden (as Pichu).
Lucario ♀ - Hatched from the Egg from Riley.
Mamoswine ♂ - Caught at Route 217 (as Swinub).
Infernape ♂ - Traded from Cousin (as Egg).

LeafGreen:

Venusaur ♂ - Starter.

'''Mallow's Tsareena''' (Japanese: '''マオのアマージョ''' ''Mao's Amajo'') is {{an|Mallow}}'s only known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She is often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of her Poké Ball]].

==History==
[[File:Mallow Bounsweet.png|250px|thumb|left|As a Bounsweet]]
Prior to the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Mallow and [[Mallow's mother|her mother]] met Tsareena as a {{p|Bounsweet}} in the forest behind the [[Pokémon School]]. Mallow's mother then {{pkmn2|caught}} Bounsweet for her daughter to keep so she wouldn't be lonely.

Tsareena first appeared as a Bounsweet in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' alongside her {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Bounsweet accompanied Mallow on her tour of the [[Pokémon School]] for {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, happily sharing her pleasant {{m|Sweet Scent|scent}} for them to enjoy. She later watched several {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s battle {{an|Kiawe}}.

In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Bounsweet was attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Rowlet}}, who was attracted to her scent and mistook her for a fruit. Bounsweet quickly responded to the attack, deflecting the Rowlet multiple times with ease before it tired out.

[[File:Mallow Steenee.png|250px|thumb|As a Steenee]]
In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', Bounsweet helped Ash and Mallow lure in and subsequently follow a wild {{p|Oricorio}} to the [[Melemele Meadow]], so that they could collect the [[Nectar]] necessary for the food Mallow was trying to perfect. However, soon after finding the meadow, they were attacked by {{TRT}}, who tried to steal the Nectar for themselves. In order to save everyone, Bounsweet attacked Team Rocket and proceeded to evolve into {{p|Steenee}}. This allowed it to recover the stolen Nectar, free Ash and Mallow, and defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Steenee was used in a battle against {{an|Misty}}'s {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} alongside {{an|Lana}}'s {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}. Steenee started the battle with {{m|Magical Leaf}} while Popplio quickly followed with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Psyduck then counterattacked with {{m|Water Gun}}. Popplio then created a water balloon, absorbing the Water Gun, which it then launched at the Duck Pokémon, trapping it inside. Misty commanded Psyduck to use {{m|Confusion}}, but Psyduck didn't respond. Steenee then attacked with another Magical Leaf, breaking the balloon and causing Psyduck land on its head, giving it a headache. This allowed Psyduck to successfully use Confusion, but before it could do anything more to its opponents, Misty told Psyduck to put Popplio and Steenee down, saying that they had had enough.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Steenee was among those used to fight [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}'s control, to allow Ash to save Lusamine. Going up against Milotic, Steenee countered its attack with {{m|Double Slap}}. Lilligant then made her dance with {{m|Teeter Dance}}, but [[Ash's Litten]] and Rowlet released her from the dance, joining the fight. In [[SM054|the next episode]], Steenee emitted her own Sweet Scent to lure Rowlet back to her. She then launched Rowlet into the air with her Double Slap, and asked Mallow to throw her up as well. Steenee kicked Rowlet back towards the ground, and, combined with Rowlet's high-speed {{m|Peck}} attack, they used a move Lana dubbed "Rowlaunch" on Lilligant. The attack angered Lilligant, causing it to charge up its {{m|Solar Beam}} attack, but Litten interrupted the move with {{m|Fire Fang}}. Although Lilligant appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego.

In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', in preparation for the PokéDance class set up by {{an|Professor Kukui}}, Steenee was taught a dance called the "Alola Hula" by [[Anela]]'s Oricorio. When the day of the dance class finally came, Steenee stepped away from the others to do some last-minute practice. Due to this, she failed to notice how all of the humans and the rest of the Pokémon present stepped into what turned out to be a pair of cage traps set up by Team Rocket. Noticing that Steenee was still free, Team Rocket fired a net at her, binding her arms and sepals. When {{MTR}} accidentally revealed that the cages have a weak point at the top, Mallow told Steenee to attack it. With her sepals and hands binded by the net, Steenee had to resort to using her feet in order to attack the weak point. While doing this, Steenee unexpectedly learned {{m|Stomp}}, which immediately triggered her evolution into {{p|Tsareena}}. After evolving, Tsareena demonstrated her increased leg strength by using {{m|Trop Kick}} on Meowth and breaking the cages open with ease. After Team Rocket had been carried away by {{an|Bewear}}, Mallow happily greeted her newly evolved partner, who proceeded to perform a new, enhanced version of "Rowlauch" with Rowlet.

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

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Mallow mother Bounsweet.png|250px|left|thumb|Meeting Mallow for the first time]]
[[File:Mallow and Tsareena.png|250px|thumb|Tsareena and Mallow]]
Tsareena is a friendly {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, happily interacting with people and Pokémon. She is not easily discouraged, staying positive even after {{an|Lillie}} was frightened by her attempts to play with her. She has a strong relationship with her {{pkmn|Trainer}}. As a Bounsweet, she was normally seen resting on Mallow's shoulder. Tsareena also likes to help Mallow out at her family's restaurant, serving food to customers as the restaurant's poster Pokémon. In addition, she loves flowers, as shown in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch]]''. According to Mallow, she likes floral-patterned [[Poké Bean]]s. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Tsareena was shown to like the taste of [[Poni Island]] daikon.

Tsareena is a very agile Pokémon. As a Bounsweet, she often used her quick reflexes to deflect {{AP|Rowlet}} as it flew toward her. However, after evolving for the first time, she started displaying this trait much less often, due to no longer needing to worry about being consumed by other Pokémon. After evolving again, Tsareena also gained great kicking strength, as well as a more proud and mature personality, although she still remains friendly and respectful towards Mallow.

Tsareena also enjoys relaxing, like in ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'', where, whilst most of the Pokémon were playing in the pool, it laid on a sun lounger at the [[Pokémon Paradise Resort]]. In [[SM108]], Mallow mentioned during a flashback that she saw her Tsareena, which was Bounsweet at the time, as her little sister.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mallow Steenee Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Steenee in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Steenee first appeared in [[PASM11]]. She was called out alongside {{adv|Moon}}'s Pokémon to assist them in finding a [[Mirage Berry]] at [[Lush Jungle]]. Steenee asked the wild Pokémon in the area to help by gathering several Berries into a large pile. Once the task was complete, Moon successfully found a Mirage Berry from the gathered pile. Afterwards, Steenee was used at [[Memorial Hill]] to battle a group of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s that claimed to have attacked Kiawe.

Later, Steenee was used to battle the [[Ultra Beast]]s used by [[Guzma]] at [[Po Town]]. Together with [[Kiawe]]'s {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}}, she fought against a {{p|Pheromosa}} before later being defeated by a {{p|Celesteela}}.

==Trivia==
* Out of all the [[walking Pokémon]] owned by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, Tsareena is the first one to [[evolution|evolve]] twice.
* Tsareena is still shown as a Steenee in certain scenes of the opening [[Future Connection]], even after it was updated following its evolution.
** The same thing happens in the dub opening [[The Challenge of Life]] due to it using clips from Future Connection.

==Blurb==

Ash begins the Silver Conference Tournament in Division H, against two opponents. The Semi-Finals round-robin style, where a victory gives you three points, a loss gives you no points, and a draw gives each challenger one point. Whoever gets the most points wins!

After his usual boast of confidence towards the match, Ash runs into one of his opponents: Macey. She is looking to know all about Ash so that she can crush him in the tournament. Just as they begin an impromptu battle, Team Rocket comes along and grabs Pikachu and Macey's Vulpix! Macey hurts herself running after them, leading Ash to use Bayleef to get rid of them fast. Its Vine Whip throws Team Rocket aside, and frees Pikachu and Vulpix before any harm is done. Macey is more than happy with Ash for "saving her life," and seems to be a bit smitten with him much the chagrin of Misty. She even threatens Ash with a date if she wins their match!

Professor Oak sends Ash all his Pokémon for the match, and Ash goes through Macey's data in order to choose the perfect combination. She loves fire types, so Ash goes with Kingler. That is, until Kingler saves a group of Voltorb from falling, and winds up shocked! Kingler will be unable to battle, leaving Ash with a tough decision to make. The decision is made for him, as Officer Jenny and Squirtle arrive to help Ash out!

The match begins with Macey's Slugma against Ash's Totodile. Totodile's Water Gun manages to see through Slugma's Double Team, leading Macey to switch it out very quickly. For her next Pokémon she chooses an Electabuzz, to which Ash counters with Phanpy. When Electabuzz's Thunderbolt proves ineffective, she switches back to Slugma, but Phanpy's Takedown finished it off! As her third Pokémon she goes with Quilava, who surprises Phanpy with its Flame Wheel! Phanpy is no match for it, and takes Phanpy out of the picture. Macy switches out for her Electabuzz against Totodile, who gets taken out with one Thunder Punch. Only Squirtle remains, who comes close to defeat at the hands of Electabuzz's Iron Tail. While in mid-air, Squirtle fires a Water Gun and uses Skull Bash to defeat Electabuzz. Quilava is Macey's last hope, and it manages to get Squirtle on its back. Just as it charges in, Squirtle launches a Hydro Pump to take Quilava out for good, giving Ash his first victory!

With three points to his name, Ash prepares for his next match, while Macey "cancels" her date to train her newly evolves Magcargo, who evolved during their match!

==Plot==
The day after the opening ceremonies, at the Athlete's Village [[Pokémon Center]], {{Ash}} discovers that he has been grouped into Group H. {{an|Brock}} further explains that the semifinal round is a round-robin tournament, where each Trainer battles the two others—with three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. The Trainer with the most points in the group stage will move on to the Victory Tournament. Ash is confused by the details, but hopes to win anyways.

Heading back out, they come across Ash's first opponent—a young girl named [[Macy]]. The two help each other get fired up, nearly getting into a battle in doing so, but just as it begins, Pikachu and Macy's {{p|Vulpix}} are snagged by {{TRT}} in nets. As they make their getaway by bike, Ash and Macy pursue them downhill. As Macy trips and falls over following Ash, Ash tells Macy to leave recovering the two up to him, Macy is smitten by Ash. Meanwhile, Ash cuts off Team Rocket, and has {{AP|Bayleef}} recover the two and send Team Rocket flying with {{m|Vine Whip}}.

As Macy expresses her feelings for Ash (both for saving Vulpix and being smitten by Ash in general), Misty breaks off Macy asking Ash for a lunch date. The two get into an argument, with Misty's preference for {{t|Water}} types and Macy's affinity for {{t|Fire}} types becoming fuel for their argument. When Macy asks Misty if she is [[Shipping:Pokéshipping|Ash's girlfriend]], Misty backs off, saying that she is only his coach. Macy then tells Misty to get herself out of Ash's personal life, as Macy believes that she has a romantic future ahead with Ash. As Macy and Misty are arguing, Ash runs off, about to prepare for battle. As Macy tells Ash to take her out on a date after a match should she win, it only serves to fuel Misty's jealousy even more.

That night, as Ash is switching around his Pokémon, and Brock attempts to seduce Nurse Joy (only to be dragged off by Misty by the ear once again), Ash decides to make up his team for the match right away, only to be quickly rebuffed by Brock and Misty. Back in their room, they check on Macy and discover that she has Vulpix, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Quilava}}—all Fire Pokémon. Misty is adamant that Ash load up on Water Pokémon, but Ash reminds her that he only has two—{{AP|Totodile}} and {{AP|Kingler}}. On his third entrant for the three-on-three battle, Brock makes an interesting discovery about Macy, and the three ponder who should be chosen. Later that night, Brock finalizes Ash's entries.

The next day, Team Rocket opens a small concession stand, selling painted bottlecaps made to look like Silver Conference souvenirs. Meanwhile, Kingler is summoned for some warm-ups just as three {{p|Voltorb}} are rolling down a hill towards them. Kingler catches them, but the Voltorb shock it, knocking it out. Later, Ash finds out that Kingler would have to sit the battle out in order to recover. Missing one entry, Ash contemplates his next move, while Misty hopes that Totodile will hold up against Macy. Just then, [[Officer Jenny]] shows up in her police bike, with {{AP|Squirtle}} in tow. As Ash and Squirtle exchange pleasantries, Officer Jenny explains that Squirtle was motivated to make itself available after seeing Ash in the torch relay, and that it took some time off from the [[Squirtle Squad]] just for the occasion. Squirtle has no problems being a last-minute addition to the upcoming match, and they hurry off to make a last-minute entry change.

At the B-Stadium, the match begins, with Macy having the first move. Macy sends out Slugma, while Ash responds with Totodile. The battle begins by exchanging {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Water Gun}}, but Macy, anticipating that a Water Pokémon would be sent out, tells Slugma to use {{m|Double Team}} to evade Totodile's attacks. It works for a moment (being able to hit Totodile once with Flamethrower), but the luck runs out as Totodile manages to hit Slugma while evading with a Water Gun. At this point, Macy pulls out Slugma for her surprise entrant, {{p|Electabuzz}}, but anticipating this, Ash pulls Totodile for his surprise entrant, {{AP|Phanpy}}. Misty congratulates Brock on his foresight in assisting Ash to make Phanpy his third entrant, and it pays off when Phanpy shakes off a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. With Electabuzz perfectly countered, Macy recalls it and sends Slugma back out. Ash leaves Phanpy in, and uses {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Rollout}} in quick succession. Slugma retaliates with another Flamethrower, but Phanpy blocks with {{m|Defense Curl}}. Phanpy also blocks Slugma's {{m|Body Slam}}, and hits another Earthquake on the recovery. One {{m|Take Down}} later, and Slugma is out for the count.

{{p|Quilava}} is sent in. As Misty comments on how any of Ash's entries will have the advantage against Quilava, Phanpy starts with a Rollout, but is counterattacked with a {{m|Flame Wheel}}, followed by a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Phanpy's attempt at a Take Down is met with another Flame Wheel, knocking it out. Brock and Misty are surprised at the turn of events, believing that Phanpy could have gone for the sweep. Putting Totodile back in, Macy pulls Quilava out and calls on Electabuzz again, with Ash having lost his advantage against it with Phanpy's elimination. Totodile begins with a Water Gun, but Electabuzz blocks it off with {{m|Light Screen}}. Totodile's {{m|Headbutt}} manages to break through, however this allows Electabuzz to land a {{m|Thunder Punch}}, knocking it out.

Now down two Pokémon, Ash is forced to send out Squirtle. As Macy prepares to sweep Squirtle out with a Thunderbolt, Squirtle hits its mark with a Water Gun. The Water Gun hit before Electabuzz could fire the Thunderbolt, confusing Macy. Squirtle evades a series of Thunder Punches, and hits again with a Water Gun, which Electabuzz deflects with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. However, a second Iron Tail hits Squirtle, and Macy tries to finish off with a Thunder Punch. However, Squirtle, out of the air, hits another Water Gun in the same spot as the first, interrupting the Thunder Punch. Electabuzz tries to finish Squirtle with another Thunderbolt, but is met with a {{m|Skull Bash}} for its efforts. This knocks out Electabuzz.

The match is down to Quilava with Squirtle, with momentum back on Ash's side. Squirtle opens with a Water Gun, which Quilava counters with Flamethrower and {{m|Swift}}. Squirtle responds to the Swift with {{m|Bubble}}. The projectiles collide, creating a smoke cover for a Water Gun to hit Quilava. Another Bubble attack is met with a Quick Attack, which sends Squirtle reeling, with Squirtle ending up being inverted. As Ash desperately tries to get Squirtle back up, Quilava, seeing an opening goes for a Flame Wheel to finish off Squirtle while it is still vulnerable. In a last minute move, Squirtle uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}, using the spinning attack to not only hit Quilava with the water, but also with its own body. Quilava is knocked out, and Ash wins the match.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has managed to sell all of their stock at their concession stand. Though Jessie and Meowth intend to spend their profits, James instead has a more ambitious idea, convincing the others to sell even more bottlecaps. After the match, Brock tells Ash that he now has firm control of Group H with the win. Depending on the outcome of the second match, Ash could be in a situation in which he only needs a draw to advance (Macy, on the other hand, cannot advance unless she wins her second match and Ash loses the next one to force a three-way tie). They are met by Macy, who tells them that after the battle that her Slugma had evolved into a {{p|Magcargo}} after the match had ended. Hugging Magcargo, she tells Ash that it will always be a reminder of her love for Ash. Macy promptly leaves to prepare for her next match.

==Blurb==

Our heroes are in Fleurrh City for Serena’s next Pokémon Showcase, where she’s hoping to win her third Princess Key and qualify for the Master Class. She’s going up against a hometown favorite named Amelia, who puts on an excellent show. Serena and her Pokémon are more concerned with having fun than being perfect—and in the end, she wins!

Serena accidentally overhears Amelia complaining to Showcase judge Palermo about her loss. Afterward, Palermo tells Serena that she doesn’t yet have what it takes to be Kalos Queen. Serena ponders that as our heroes head for the next Pokémon Showcase in Gloire City, where she’ll compete in the Master Class!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Fleurrh City]] where {{an|Serena}} must win her next {{pkmn|Showcase}} to have three {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}s. While walking along the sidewalk, they see a crowd gathering to cheer on a girl named {{OBP|Amelia|XY109}}, as the heroes pass through Fleurrh City. Later, as they eat dinner, a worried Serena eats little of her food.

The next day, Serena is seen talking to Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}. She tells them that she is ready to perform. {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} wish good luck to {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}} which she thanks them for. Next, Serena enters the dressing room. Amelia arrogantly moves in front of Serena and says that she must go first. The scene flips to [[Palermo]] who arrives to the Showcase in her limousine. The man who escorts her asks if she can mentor Amelia, explaining that Amelia belongs to a very respected family in Fleurrh City. Palermo tells him that she will judge with her own eyes.

Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Clemont, Bunnelby, Chespin, and Bonnie are in the audience for the event. [[Monsieur Pierre]] hosts the performance. He has his {{p|Klefki}} show the Princess Key to the audience. Monsieur Pierre explains to the audience that to win the first stage, the {{pkmn|Performer}} must attract the most {{p|Rhyhorn}}. Serena is in the first round. Her competitors are [[Concetta]] who uses her {{p|Scraggy}} and [[Kazalie]] with her {{p|Lilligant}}. The Rhyhorn are immediately attracted to Serena. Serena is cuddled around by Rhyhorn and some even start licking her. Kazalie has her Lilligant use {{m|Sweet Scent}} which attracts some Rhyhorn towards her. Serena sees a lone Rhyhorn outside of the herd. She runs towards to the lone Rhyhorn. She pets it on its head and she rides it back to where the rest of the Rhyhorn are. After the timer is finished, Monsieur Pierre declares Serena the winner.

After a few more rounds, Monsieur Pierre starts the last round of the first stage. When Monsieur Pierre announces Amelia's name, the crowd cheers. She has her {{Shiny}} {{p|Dragonair}} and {{p|Espeon}} use {{m|Attract}} on the Rhyhorn who follow her Pokémon. She is declared the winner.

Monsieur Pierre announce that next round will be the Freestyle Performance. Serena is seen with her Pokémon. Her Sylveon is quite nervous for the performance but Serena feeds Sylveon, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, and {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} [[Poké Puff]]s. Her Sylveon is relieved of her nervousness.

Amelia goes first in the final stage of the Showcase. She starts by having her Espeon and Dragonair jump in the air. Then Espeon uses {{m|Psychic}} and Dragonair uses {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Dragonair dances in circles around sparkly purple glimmers of light. She then commands Espeon and Dragonair to use Attract. Hearts are sent towards the audience, alluring the spectators. Espeon uses {{m|Rain Dance}} and Amelia walks on Dragonair's tail. She jump off and commands Dragonair to use {{m|Ice Beam}} which freezes the rain. Espeon uses {{m|Hyper Voice}} which spreads the snowflakes towards the crowd. Amelia is now finished with her performance.

Serena is the next to perform. She starts out by having her Braixen use {{m|Flamethrower}} while Serena, Pancham, and Sylveon dance around a circle of fire. Sylveon uses {{m|Fairy Wind}} which spreads the circling fire into a dazzling display in the sky. Pancham jumps high off of Sylveon's bows. Pancham punches the ground and uses {{m|Stone Edge}} which collides with the fire and makes a shower of sparkles. Serena and her Pokémon dance around the bright rays off the light falling to the ground. Palermo is shown to be slightly impressed by Serena's performance. Next, Pancham uses Stone Edge, which Braixen and Sylveon jump on. Braixen uses {{m|Fire Blast}} which, when hit by Sylveon's {{m|Swift}}, creates a row of sparkles for the audience. Serena is now finished with her performance.

After the show is finished, Monsieur Pierre asks the audience to vote for the winner by using their Glow Casters. After the results are in, Monsieur Pierre announces Serena as the winner. Serena receives her third Princess Key, qualifying her for the Master Class. The scene returns to where the heroes were staying, and Serena is seen talking to {{an|Shauna}} via video call. Bonnie calls her over. Clemont has prepared a feast for them, which the group and their Pokémon enjoy.

Once the feast is over, Serena prepares to brush her Pokémon when she realizes she forgot her brush at the Showcase theater. When she picks it up, she sees Amelia begging Palermo to train her. Palermo tells her that she lost and should be doing something more productive. After Amelia leaves, Palermo calls Serena over. Palermo asks if Serena was satisfied with her performance. She tells Palermo that she thought it was fun. Palermo tells her that there is something she definitely lacks and if she does not find out what it is, she will not be able to defeat Aria. That night, Serena ponders what it might be.

The next morning, the heroes find out that the Pokémon Showcase Master Class will be held in [[Gloire City]]. Serena and her friends are shown running towards Gloire City.

==Blurb==

While our heroes are in Lumiose City, Serena suggests they visit Professor Sycamore before they continue their journey, and she’s even made a batch of delicious macarons for the occasion. At the professor’s lab, they settle in with a nice cup of tea, only to discover the macarons are missing! They find the basket of treats in a corner, guarded by a very hungry Chespin who isn’t interested in sharing.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been researching Professor Sycamore’s studies on Mega Evolution, and the villains decide that stealing his data would be a big boost to their schemes. They break into the lab grounds, grab the professor, and throw him in the back of their truck. He’s not alone, however—Bonnie and Serena manage to sneak aboard before they drive away. The girls get locked inside by accident, but Serena manages to leave a trail of broken macarons—which Chespin quickly sniffs out, leading Clemont and Ash to the villains’ hideout!

In the meantime, James has plugged Professor Sycamore’s data into a mechanical Mega-Mega Meowth, which attacks our heroes! Chespin lets Clemont know it wants to battle, but neither Chespin nor Pikachu can make a dent in the mighty machine. But then, the Mega Blaziken that rescued Ash when he fell from Prism Tower reappears, along with its Trainer, a mysterious man in a Blaziken mask. Mega Blaziken’s incredibly powerful Flamethrower leaves Mega-Mega Meowth charbroiled, along with the actual Meowth who’s been controlling it, and Team Rocket is sent blasting off again. As our heroes head back to the lab with the professor, Mega Blaziken’s Trainer is watching over them—now without his mask. It’s Meyer, Clemont and Bonnie’s dad!

At the lab, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are saying their farewells when Bonnie notices Chespin watching them. Clemont thanks the Pokémon for its help against Team Rocket and says they’ll meet again soon, but it seems clear that Chespin wants to come along! And so, with Clemont’s friend Chespin now part of the group, the journey to Cyllage City continues!

==Plot==
The scene begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} returning to Lumiose City, while Ash is thinking about getting his second Gym Badge at [[Cyllage City]]. Serena makes a suggestion that they first meet with Professor Sycamore before departing, and everyone accepts the idea while Serena shows them her basket of baked macarons. Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse, Team Rocket, after failing to give [[Furfrou]] to the boss, watches a recording of Ash on Prism Tower and notices the Pokémon that saves him to be none other than a Mega Blaziken. Team Rocket then plans on making Meowth "Mega Evolve" to get Ash's Pikachu, while planning on stealing the research data from the Professor. While Meowth questions being able to mega evolve, James corrects Meowth that if they are successful in stealing the Professor's data, they can implement it into a mecha called "Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha Meowth".

Back at Professor Sycamore's lab, Professor Sycamore learns that Ash and friends are traveling together now. Serena shows Professor Sycamore her macarons, and Sophie, one of the Professor's assistants, says that they should have tea. Professor Sycamore goes back to studying the Pokémon at his lab, saying that he will be back to have tea and macarons as soon as possible. As Sophie announces the tea is ready, Serena goes to take the macarons out when everyone notices they're gone. As everyone wonders where they went, Sophie notices Chespin behind a plant eating all of the macarons. As she calls Chespin out for stealing them, Chespin stabs Clemont in the hand with his spikes, takes a handful of macarons and runs out. Sophie explains to the group that that Chespin is very gluttonous. Serena and Bonnie decide to check on the Professor.

Outside the lab, Team Rocket arrives outside the lab in their van and break into it. As Ash and friends hear the loud noise of the van breaking through the glass, Serena and Bonnie go to check on what's going on. As Team Rocket confronts the Professor, he remembers them from before, specifically the "talking Meowth." Jessie ends up trapping the Professor in a net and capture him inside their truck. Serena and Bonnie are accidentally captured inside the truck, but thanks to the leftover pieces of macaron left by Serena, Ash, Pikachu, Clemont, and Chespin are able to follow the path to Team Rocket's hideout. As Ash and Clemont are going in to rescue the others, Chespin accidentally alerts Team Rocket about their presence and activates their new mecha, the Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha-Meowth. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but to no avail, until Chespin and Clemont pull the external plug. Meowth then activates the sub-energy supply. Team Rocket gains the advantage, until Mega Blaziken turn the tables with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ash and Clemont take care of the rest with Pikachu and Chespin, using {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Pin Missile}} and sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

Back at the lab, as Ash and his friends give their goodbyes to the Professor. However, before they leave, Bonnie notices that the same Chespin has been spying on them the entire time. Professor Sycamore then tells Clemont that Chespin wants to travel with him. Clemont asks Chespin if it wants to travel with him, and it agrees. Professor Sycamore gives him Chespin's Poké Ball, and Clemont recalls Chespin back to its Poké Ball, allowing Chespin to travel with them. The friends give their goodbyes to the Professor and continue traveling towards Cyllage City as the journey continues!

'''Mallow's Tsareena''' (Japanese: '''マオのアマージョ''' ''Mao's Amajo'') is {{an|Mallow}}'s only known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She is often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of her Poké Ball]].

==History==
[[File:Mallow Bounsweet.png|250px|thumb|left|As a Bounsweet]]
Prior to the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Mallow and [[Mallow's mother|her mother]] met Tsareena as a {{p|Bounsweet}} in the forest behind the [[Pokémon School]]. Mallow's mother then {{pkmn2|caught}} Bounsweet for her daughter to keep so she wouldn't be lonely.

Tsareena first appeared as a Bounsweet in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' alongside her {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Bounsweet accompanied Mallow on her tour of the [[Pokémon School]] for {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, happily sharing her pleasant {{m|Sweet Scent|scent}} for them to enjoy. She later watched {{tc|Team Skull Grunt|Team Skull}} battle {{an|Kiawe}}.

In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Bounsweet was attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Rowlet}}, who was attracted to her scent and mistook her for a fruit. Bounsweet quickly responded to the attack, deflecting the Rowlet multiple times with ease before it tired out.

[[File:Mallow Steenee.png|250px|thumb|As a Steenee]]
In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', Bounsweet helped Ash and Mallow lure in and subsequently follow a wild {{p|Oricorio}} to the [[Melemele Meadow]], so that they could collect the [[Nectar]] necessary for the food Mallow was trying to perfect. However, soon after finding the meadow, they were attacked by {{TRT}}, who tried to steal the Nectar for themselves. In order to save everyone, Bounsweet attacked Team Rocket and proceeded to evolve into {{p|Steenee}}. This allowed it to recover the stolen Nectar, free Ash and Mallow, and defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Steenee was used in a battle against {{an|Misty}}'s {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} alongside {{an|Lana}}'s {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}. Steenee started the battle with {{m|Magical Leaf}} while Popplio quickly followed with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Psyduck then counterattacked with {{m|Water Gun}}. Popplio then created a water balloon, absorbing the Water Gun, which it then launched at the Duck Pokémon, trapping it inside. Misty commanded Psyduck to use {{m|Confusion}}, but Psyduck didn't respond. Steenee then attacked with another Magical Leaf, breaking the balloon and causing Psyduck land on its head, giving it a headache. This allowed Psyduck to successfully use Confusion, but before it could do anything more to its opponents, Misty told Psyduck to put Popplio and Steenee down, saying that they had had enough.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Steenee was among those used to fight [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}'s control, to allow Ash to save Lusamine. Going up against Milotic, Steenee countered its attack with {{m|Double Slap}}. Lilligant then made her dance with {{m|Teeter Dance}}, but [[Ash's Litten]] and Rowlet released her from the dance, joining the fight. In [[SM054|the next episode]], Steenee emitted her own Sweet Scent to lure Rowlet back to her. She then launched Rowlet into the air with her Double Slap, and asked Mallow to throw her up as well. Steenee kicked Rowlet back towards the ground, and, combined with Rowlet's high-speed {{m|Peck}} attack, they used a move Lana dubbed "Rowlaunch" on Lilligant. The attack angered Lilligant, causing it to charge up its {{m|Solar Beam}} attack, but Litten interrupted the move with {{m|Fire Fang}}. Although Lilligant appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego.

In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', in preparation for the PokéDance class set up by {{an|Professor Kukui}}, Steenee was taught a dance called the "Alola Hula" by [[Anela]]'s Oricorio. When the day of the dance class finally came, Steenee stepped away from the others to do some last-minute practice. Due to this, she failed to notice how all of the humans and the rest of the Pokémon present stepped into what turned out to be a pair of cage traps set up by Team Rocket. Noticing that Steenee was still free, Team Rocket fired a net at her, binding her arms and sepals. When {{MTR}} accidentally revealed that the cages have a weak point at the top, Mallow told Steenee to attack it. With her sepals and hands binded by the net, Steenee had to resort to using her feet in order to attack the weak point. While doing this, Steenee unexpectedly learned {{m|Stomp}}, which immediately triggered her evolution into {{p|Tsareena}}. After evolving, Tsareena demonstrated her increased leg strength by using {{m|Trop Kick}} on Meowth and breaking the cages open with ease. After Team Rocket had been carried away by {{an|Bewear}}, Mallow happily greeted her newly evolved partner, who proceeded to perform a new, enhanced version of "Rowlauch" with Rowlet.

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

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Mallow mother Bounsweet.png|250px|left|thumb|Meeting Mallow for the first time]]
[[File:Mallow and Tsareena.png|250px|thumb|Tsareena and Mallow]]
Tsareena is a friendly {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, happily interacting with people and Pokémon. She is not easily discouraged, staying positive even after {{an|Lillie}} was frightened by her attempts to play with her. She has a strong relationship with her {{pkmn|Trainer}}. As a Bounsweet, she was normally seen resting on Mallow's shoulder. Tsareena also likes to help Mallow out at her family's restaurant, serving food to customers as the restaurant's poster Pokémon. In addition, she loves flowers, as shown in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch]]''. According to Mallow, she likes floral-patterned [[Poké Bean]]s. In [[SM104]], Tsareena was shown to like the taste of [[Poni Island]] daikon.

Tsareena is shown to be very agile. As a Bounsweet, she often used her quick reflexes to deflect {{AP|Rowlet}} as it flew toward her. However, after evolving for the first time, she started displaying this trait much less often, due to no longer needing to worry about being consumed by other Pokémon. After evolving again, Tsareena also gained great kicking strength, as well as a more proud and mature personality, although she still remains friendly and respectful towards Mallow.

Tsareena is shown to enjoy relaxing, as evident in ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'' where whilst most of the Pokémon were playing in the pool, Tsareena was shown lying on a sun lounger at the [[Pokémon Paradise Resort]]. In [[SM108]], Mallow mentioned during a flashback that she saw her Tsareena (Bounsweet at the time) as her little sister.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Steenee first appeared in [[PASM11]]. She was called out alongside {{adv|Moon}}'s Pokémon to assist them in finding a [[Mirage Berry]] at [[Lush Jungle]]. Steenee asked the wild Pokémon in the area to help by gathering several Berries into a large pile. Once the task was complete, Moon successfully found a Mirage Berry from the gathered pile. Afterwards, Steenee was used at [[Memorial Hill]] to battle a group of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s that claimed to have attacked Kiawe.

Later, Steenee was used to battle the [[Ultra Beast]]s used by [[Guzma]] at [[Po Town]]. Together with [[Kiawe]]'s {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}}, she fought against a {{p|Pheromosa}} before later being defeated by a {{p|Celesteela}}.

Solrock and Lunatone!'') is the 100th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 374th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 28, 2004 and in the United States on November 5, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash's battle with the Mossdeep Gym Leaders is set to begin. He calls out Swellow and Pikachu versus Tate's Solrock and Liza's Lunatone, taking into account the strange planet-filled aerial battlefield they will be using. Pikachu and Swellow appear to be at a disadvantage, but it is quickly negated by the fact that Tate and Liza aren't working together. Their Pokémon's attacks cancel each other out, and the two even collide head-on when attacking.

Team Rocket interrupts the battle, capturing Lunatone and Solrock with their robot and then escaping in their balloon. Swellow and Pikachu destroy the balloon, freeing the two Rock- and Psychic-types.

The Gym battle must resume, but the Gym has been destroyed—so it is decided they will battle by the water. Unfortunately for Ash, Tate and Liza now have their teamwork back, and they deliver a real pummeling to Ash's Pokémon. Each of his attacks is countered successfully, until he charges his team with Pikachu's Thunder and they break through Lunatone's Light Screen, finishing off the opposing team with Iron Tail and Aerial Ace and winning Ash his Mind Badge!

==Plot==
[[Tate and Liza]]'s mother, [[Rachel]], is acting as the [[Battle judge|referee]] for the match. She explains the rules of the [[Double Battle]] and gives a detailed explanation of the special field they're using. The field has mock-ups of all the planets orbiting the sun, creating obstacles that wouldn't be there ordinarily. Tate and Liza start by choosing {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}, respectively. {{Ash}} instantly chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} and, after thinking about how it would be good to have an aerial fighter against these particular foes and in this particular field, he chooses {{AP|Swellow}}.

Outside, {{TRT}} plots to steal Lunatone and Solrock. They launch into a [[boss fantasy]], in which they imagine him being sad in the dark. Suddenly, Solrock and Lunatone arrive, filling the room with light. An ecstatic {{an|Giovanni}}, donning a top hat and suit, begins to dance happily as the two Pokémon continue shining light on the Team Rocket boss. After the fantasy concludes, Jessie and Meowth happily rush off to the Gym to begin, but James stops them. He explains that both Solrock and Lunatone are {{t|Psychic}} types, so they'll be more difficult than usual to capture. Meowth says not to worry as he tells them his plan...

Back at the Gym, the battle begins. Solrock uses {{m|Tackle}} on Pikachu, hitting the Mouse Pokémon. Lunatone uses Tackle as well, hitting Swellow. Ash then orders Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} on Solrock and tells Swellow to use {{m|Peck}} on Lunatone. As Pikachu charges into his attack, Solrock floats out of the way, causing Pikachu to crash into one of the floating planets. The same thing happens with Swellow--it charges toward Lunatone, it dodges, and Swellow crashes right into another floating planet. Pikachu falls down, and soon after Swellow lands on him. Things aren't looking too good for Ash at this point...

Tate and Liza are now ready for the next attack. Solrock is told to use {{m|Solar Beam|SolarBeam}} while Lunatone is told to use {{m|Ice Beam}}. The two attacks combine and are headed right for Pikachu and Swellow, who are still reeling from their last defeat. Suddenly, the two beams stop in midair! Ash wonders what has happened and soon he sees Tate and Liza arguing amongst themselves! They’re blaming each other for their mistakes, which is keeping them from continuing the battle. Ash sees this as his chance, so he orders Swellow to use {{m|Aerial Ace}} on Lunatone, and it hits. Pikachu is also ordered to attack, so he hits Solrock with an {{m|Iron Tail}}. Tate and Liza notice that their Pokémon are getting beaten while they quarrel, so they both rejoin the battle and order their Pokémon to use Tackle attacks on Pikachu. Pikachu is about to be sandwiched by the two Psychic Pokémon, but he is rescued when Swellow swoops in and scoops him up. Lunatone and Solrock crash into each other, which causes Tate and Liza to begin arguing again.

As the twin Gym Leaders blame each other for their constant blunders, the ground starts to rumble. Suddenly, a hole is blown into the roof, and Jessie and James appear! The two Team Rocket members ride in on a flying sun and moon, and they perform their {{motto}}. It ends with the roof caving in even more, and a giant robot appears, piloted by {{MTR}}. Meowth tells the group that this [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] has been designed specifically to capture Lunatone and Solrock. Liza complains about the battle field being ruined, so Tate and Liza send out their Pokémon to attack. The Team Rocket mecha fires two round cages. Lunatone and Solrock are ordered to use {{m|Psychic}}, but the attacks are being absorbed by their cages! Team Rocket laughs at their futile efforts as the mecha makes its escape.

Ash and the others start chasing after, and they are able to keep up until they get to the cliff where Team Rocket has parked their giant Meowth balloon. Team Rocket attaches the mecha to the blimp, and soon the robot is seen dangling from the hot air balloon as Ash and the others arrive on the scene. Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the Mouse Pokémon's attack isn't able to reach it. So, Ash has Pikachu jump on Swellow and has them chase Team Rocket in the air. Jessie and James look worried, but Meowth tells them not to worry as he presses a button, causing the robot to fire yellow globs at the two Pokémon. Swellow presses through as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the mecha, causing it to release the two Pokémon. The newly freed Pokémon are told to use Psychic on the robot, crushing it into a small cube. The mecha then explodes on Team Rocket to blast them off for good.

Now that everyone's safe, Liza complains about the Gym field being destroyed. Rachel suggests that they just have the battle there, on the cliff that Team Rocket took off from, and everyone agrees that this is a good idea. Rachel announces the continuation of the battle. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Solrock, but Lunatone slides in front of it and guards it with {{m|Light Screen}}. The attack hits Pikachu, smashing him into a rocky cliff. Swellow tries to attack Lunatone with Aerial Ace, but Solrock uses {{m|Sandstorm}} to stop it. Brock comments on how much better their combination has gotten since that battle with Team Rocket.

After Pikachu recovers, he is ordered to hop on Swellow's back. The now-airborne Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Solrock, but the same thing that happened before happens again--Lunatone reflects the attack right back at him. However, this time both Pikachu and Swellow are hit. Tate and Liza are surprised to see that Swellow doesn't seem to be affected as well, considering that it's a {{t|Flying}} type.

Swellow is then ordered to use {{m|Double Team}}, creating copies which surrounds Solrock and Lunatone. The two Psychic-type Pokémon fly back to back as Tate and Liza gauge the situation. Solrock uses SolarBeam while Lunatone uses Ice Beam as the two Pokémon spin around, sweeping the air and taking out all the shadow Swellow and Pikachu. Soon they're all disposed of, and Tate and Liza are confused about the whereabouts of the real Swellow and Pikachu. Suddenly, they see the two Pokémon flying from above, ready to strike. Solrock and Lunatone are ordered to quickly whip up a SolarBeam and Ice Beam combination, hitting Ash's Pokémon. The Pokémon start plummeting toward the earth, but Swellow is able to recover quickly enough and swoops up to safety in the nick of time.

Liza tells Ash that he'll never break through their combination as the young Trainer wonders how he'll win. He notices some clouds forming overhead, and suddenly has an idea. He tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} on the clouds, confusing the Gym Leaders. Soon, the clouds spit back a streak of lightning, directly hitting Pikachu and Swellow. Pikachu and Swellow are being supercharged by the lightning and after the shock of electricity, the two Pokémon appear to be covered in a golden coat, and Ash is now prepared to attack.

The now super-powered Swellow uses Quick Attack, so Solrock fires a SolarBeam attack on it. Swellow and Pikachu are hit, but they just ignore it and power on through. Lunatone tries to use Light Screen, but its attack is just as futile. Pikachu uses Iron Tail on Solrock while Swellow uses Aerial Ace on Lunatone. Both super-powered attacks hit, and as the Pokémon’s golden power-ups fade, the two Pokémon are knocked out. Rachel announces that Pikachu and Swellow have won the battle. Ash goes to hug his two Pokémon and receives a shock from the two. Guess they're still a little supercharged from their battle...

After the battle, Tate and Liza give Ash the Gym Badge. As he proudly holds the Mind Badge up, the Narrator announces that Ash only has one Badge left to go before the Hoenn League.

==Trivia==
[[File:Thunder Armor.png|thumb|200px|Thunder Armor]]
* {{AP|Pikachu}} uses an improvised technique, [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Thunder Armor]], that doesn't exist in the games, and only serves as a {{wp|deus ex machina}}.
* In the dub, {{TRT}} uses a variation of their {{motto}} and turn it into a song.
* After Team Rocket steals {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}, [[James]] [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by announcing that "this concludes today's episode of ''Advanced Pokémon Stealing''", obviously a spoof of what was the current season, ''[[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]''.
* This episode features a rare occasion where {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} does not make an appearance in the motto, although he did appear earlier in the episode.
* The English title of this episode is based on the phrase "as solid as a rock", though it is also similar to the title of ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]''.
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'' is used as background music.
* This is one of the few, if not only, official battles in which the referee declares that a Pokémon "cannot battle" instead of it being "unable to battle".
* This is Ash's only Hoenn [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} that Team Rocket successfully interrupts.
* Given that [[Tate and Liza]] are the Leaders of the same Gym, this marks the first (and currently only) time Ash has defeated two [[Gym Leader]]s in a single episode.
** For the same reason, this also marks the first time Ash has battled more than one Gym Leader in single episode.
* In the dub, Ash doesn't say the name of his Mind badge after receiving it, simply calling it his seventh badge.

===Errors===
* Before the battle started, {{Ash}}'s sleeves are colored blue like his jacket. The same mistake happens in ''[[AG140|Sitting Psyduck]]''.
* For a moment, one of Liza's white hair ornaments is missing.
* Solrock is able to use {{m|Solar Beam}} immediately, despite Liza telling Tate in the previous episode that the move had to charge first.

===Dub edits===
====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon isn't a pure {{type|Fighting}}?
* Choices: {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Machamp}}
* Answer: Okay, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Blaziken}} you were right!

'''From Ghost to Ghost''' (Japanese: '''エンジュジム！ゴーストバトル！！''' ''{{tt|Enjū|Ecruteak}} Gym! Ghost Battle!!'') is the 182nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on January 25, 2001 and in the United States on November 10, 2001.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Anxious to acquire the next Johto League badge, Ash challenges Ecruteak City's Gym Leader, Morty. However, Ash has seen Morty's Ghost-type Pokémon in action and is a little worried about battle strategies. In a discussion with Nurse Joy, Ash realizes his secret weapon against Morty's Pokémon is his Noctowl. Find out what special strategies Ash and his Noctowl employ in a head-to-head battle against the skilled Gym Leader and his fear-provoking Pokémon!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} prepares for his fourth [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Morty]] and his powerful team of {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by listening to his [[Pokédex]]'s entry about {{TP|Morty|Gengar}}. Unfortunately, the Pokédex states that details about Gengar are unknown. As Ash muses over battle strategies, [[Nurse Joy]] arrives with his Pokémon after healing them in the [[Pokémon Center]]. They talk about the difficulty of facing Morty's Ghost-type Pokémon and Nurse Joy suggests that Ash should use his {{AP|Noctowl}} as a secret weapon.

At the Gym, Morty has his Gengar demonstrate {{m|Confuse Ray}} to a group of young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as an example of how to fight without using brute force. Ash and {{ashfr}} interrupt the lecture to challenge the Gym. Morty suggests that his students be allowed to watch and Ash agrees.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} floats along in their hot air balloon. [[James]] and {{MTR}} are discussing James's use of his [[Dowsing Machine|Treasure Detector]] to find treasures in [[Ecruteak City]]. [[Jessie]] groans that the device only finds junk and James attempts to prove her wrong by displaying his prized collection of bottle caps, although he declines to explain what makes them so valuable. At that moment, they see that they are floating directly over the [[Burned Tower]] of {{ci|Ecruteak}}. They descend in the hopes of finding something valuable among the ruins.

As Ash's battle with Morty is about to begin, Team Rocket follows the Treasure Detector right up to the Gym, where they see Ash and Pikachu through a window and then mention that they may leave Ecruteak with more than one treasure. Then, the battle begins with Morty calling out his {{TP|Morty|Gastly}} and Ash his {{AP|Noctowl}}. Ash has Noctowl begin with {{m|Hypnosis}}. Gastly dodges, disappearing in the process. Ash tells Noctowl to use {{m|Foresight}} to find Gastly. Noctowl then attempts to {{m|Tackle}} Gastly, but Gastly easily dodges the attack again and again. After failing to Tackle Gastly, Noctowl tries to use {{m|Hypnosis}}; however, Morty orders Gastly to close his eyes to avoid being hypnotized and to use his {{m|Lick}} attack, which whips Noctowl out of the air. Ash returns Noctowl to its [[Poké Ball]]. {{an|Brock}} points out that this is a good strategy since Noctowl's Foresight will keep Gastly from disappearing, and Ash can use Noctowl again later on if he needs to.

As Jessie and Meowth watch through the window, they comment that the battle is much more interesting than digging for treasure. James then shows up and shouts that his device detected a valuable item hidden in a nearby building.

With Foresight keeping Gastly in view, Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} to replace Noctowl. Pikachu begins by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, which knocks Gastly far back. Pikachu then uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Gastly dodges and counters with {{m|Night Shade}}. Pikachu got hit and is unable to battle any further. After thanking Pikachu for his hard work, Ash chooses {{AP|Cyndaquil}} as his next choice.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket discovers that the building indicated by the Treasure Detector contains a number of real valuables, including a vase, a sword, and a new charm for Meowth's forehead. Just then, several Gastly materialize through a wall of the room.

Back at the Gym, Cyndaquil starts off with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. Gastly dodges, countering with Night Shade, which Cyndaquil dodges using Quick Attack. Gastly uses Lick but Cyndaquil just runs up Gastly's tongue and Tackles it, finally defeating it. Morty then chooses {{p|Haunter}} as his second Pokémon. Cyndaquil tries to hit it with Flamethrower, but Haunter disappears and then uses {{m|Mean Look}}, which extinguishes Cyndaquil's back flames and forces Ash to use Cyndaquil until the end of the round. Ash orders Cyndaquil to fire back up and use its {{m|Swift}} attack, which hurts Haunter. Haunter uses Hypnosis, which nearly works; but Cyndaquil counters with {{m|Smokescreen}}. Through the Smokescreen, Haunter grabs Cyndaquil and then Licks it, ending Cyndaquil's ability to battle. Ash is now down to only his Noctowl.

As the Gym battle continues, Team Rocket sits in the other building, hallucinating about food at the Gastly's doing, which the Gastly think is very humorous.

After Ash brings it back out, Noctowl uses Foresight to keep Haunter from disappearing. Noctowl follows this with a Tackle attack, but Haunter forces Noctowl to dodge its hands to avoid being grabbed instead. Haunter then tries its Lick attack, which Noctowl dodges. The two Pokémon then each use Hypnosis and Confuse Ray, which become locked against each other; but Noctowl's Hypnosis loses the struggle and gets blown away, allowing Confuse Ray to hit Noctowl. Haunter then uses Night Shade, but the confused Noctowl still Tackles through the attack. The two collide and Noctowl is not confused anymore. Brock remarks that Noctowl learned {{m|Confusion}}, which Ash confirms with his Pokédex. Noctowl uses its new move on Haunter and easily wins.

Morty finally sends out Gengar. Noctowl uses Confusion while Gengar uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}; the Confusion attack hits the Shadow Ball, making it explode, showering everyone with dark energy. Gengar disappears and, when Noctowl tries to use Foresight to find it, starts forcing Noctowl to repeatedly dodge its Night Shade. {{an|Misty}} is surprised that Gengar can attack while it is invisible and Brock says that Noctowl won't win without using Foresight. Ash thinks for a moment and then tells Noctowl to send Confusion through the building. This reveals Gengar and Noctowl is able to use Foresight on it. Gengar attempts to use Shadow Ball again, but Noctowl stops it with a Tackle attack. After hitting the ceiling and falling to the floor, Gengar is now unable to battle, giving Ash the victory.

Before the group heads out, Morty admits that Ash may actually have seen {{an|Ho-Oh}}, then hands over the {{Badge|Fog}}. Later, Team Rocket flees from the haunted building, complaining of how nightmarish the day has been.

==Blurb==

Anxious to acquire the next Johto League badge, Ash challenges Ecruteak City's Gym Leader, Morty. However, Ash has seen Morty's Ghost-type Pokémon in action and is a little worried about battle strategies. In a discussion with Nurse Joy, Ash realizes his secret weapon against Morty's Pokémon is his Noctowl. Find out what special strategies Ash and his Noctowl employ in a head-to-head battle against the skilled Gym Leader and his fear-provoking Pokémon!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} prepares for his fourth [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Morty]] and his powerful team of {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by listening to his [[Pokédex]]'s entry about {{TP|Morty|Gengar}}. Unfortunately, the Pokédex states that details about Gengar are unknown. As Ash muses over battle strategies, [[Nurse Joy]] arrives with his Pokémon after healing them in the [[Pokémon Center]]. They talk about the difficulty of facing Morty's Ghost-type Pokémon and Nurse Joy suggests that Ash should use his {{AP|Noctowl}} as a secret weapon.

At the Gym, Morty has his Gengar demonstrate {{m|Confuse Ray}} to a group of young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as an example of how to fight without using brute force. Ash and {{ashfr}} interrupt the lecture to challenge the Gym. Morty suggests that his students be allowed to watch and Ash agrees.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} floats along in their hot air balloon. [[James]] and {{MTR}} are discussing James's use of his [[Dowsing Machine|Treasure Detector]] to find treasures in [[Ecruteak City]]. [[Jessie]] groans that the device only finds junk and James attempts to prove her wrong by displaying his prized collection of bottle caps, although he declines to explain what makes them so valuable. At that moment, they see that they are floating directly over the [[Burned Tower]] of {{ci|Ecruteak}}. They descend in the hopes of finding something valuable among the ruins.

As Ash's battle with Morty is about to begin, Team Rocket follows the Treasure Detector right up to the Gym, where they see Ash and Pikachu through a window and then mention that they may leave Ecruteak with more than one treasure. Then, the battle begins with Morty calling out his {{TP|Morty|Gastly}} and Ash his {{AP|Noctowl}}. Ash has Noctowl begin with {{m|Hypnosis}}. Gastly dodges, disappearing in the process. Ash tells Noctowl to use {{m|Foresight}} to find Gastly. Noctowl then attempts to {{m|Tackle}} Gastly, but Gastly easily dodges the attack again and again. After failing to Tackle Gastly, Noctowl tries to use {{m|Hypnosis}}; however, Morty orders Gastly to close his eyes to avoid being hypnotized and to use his {{m|Lick}} attack, which whips Noctowl out of the air. Ash returns Noctowl to its [[Poké Ball]]. {{an|Brock}} points out that this is a good strategy since Noctowl's Foresight will keep Gastly from disappearing, and Ash can use Noctowl again later on if he needs to.

As Jessie and Meowth watch through the window, they comment that the battle is much more interesting than digging for treasure. James then shows up and shouts that his device detected a valuable item hidden in a nearby building.

With Foresight keeping Gastly in view, Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} to replace Noctowl. Pikachu begins by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, which knocks Gastly far back. Pikachu then uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Gastly dodges and counters with {{m|Night Shade}}. Pikachu got hit and is unable to battle any further. After thanking Pikachu for his hard work, Ash chooses {{AP|Cyndaquil}} as his next choice.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket discovers that the building indicated by the Treasure Detector contains a number of real valuables, including a vase, a sword, and a new charm for Meowth's forehead. Just then, several Gastly materialize through a wall of the room.

Back at the Gym, Cyndaquil starts off with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. Gastly dodges, countering with Night Shade, which Cyndaquil dodges using Quick Attack. Gastly uses Lick but Cyndaquil just runs up Gastly's tongue and Tackles it, finally defeating it. Morty then chooses {{p|Haunter}} as his second Pokémon. Cyndaquil tries to hit it with Flamethrower, but Haunter disappears and then uses {{m|Mean Look}}, which extinguishes Cyndaquil's back flames and forces Ash to use Cyndaquil until the end of the round. Ash orders Cyndaquil to fire back up and use its {{m|Swift}} attack, which hurts Haunter. Haunter uses Hypnosis, which nearly works; but Cyndaquil counters with {{m|Smokescreen}}. Through the Smokescreen, Haunter grabs Cyndaquil and then Licks it, ending Cyndaquil's ability to battle. Ash is now down to only his Noctowl.

As the Gym battle continues, Team Rocket sits in the other building, hallucinating about food at the Gastly's doing, which the Gastly think is very humorous.

After Ash brings it back out, Noctowl uses Foresight to keep Haunter from disappearing. Noctowl follows this with a Tackle attack, but Haunter forces Noctowl to dodge its hands to avoid being grabbed instead. Haunter then tries its Lick attack, which Noctowl dodges. The two Pokémon then each use Hypnosis and Confuse Ray, which become locked against each other; but Noctowl's Hypnosis loses the struggle and gets blown away, allowing Confuse Ray to hit Noctowl. Haunter then uses Night Shade, but the confused Noctowl still Tackles through the attack. The two collide and Noctowl is not confused anymore. Brock remarks that Noctowl learned {{m|Confusion}}, which Ash confirms with his Pokédex. Noctowl uses its new move on Haunter and easily wins.

Morty finally sends out Gengar. Noctowl uses Confusion while Gengar uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}; the Confusion attack hits the Shadow Ball, making it explode, showering everyone with dark energy. Gengar disappears and, when Noctowl tries to use Foresight to find it, starts forcing Noctowl to repeatedly dodge its Night Shade. {{an|Misty}} is surprised that Gengar can attack while it is invisible and Brock says that Noctowl won't win without using Foresight. Ash thinks for a moment and then tells Noctowl to send Confusion through the building. This reveals Gengar and Noctowl is able to use Foresight on it. Gengar attempts to use Shadow Ball again, but Noctowl stops it with a Tackle attack. After hitting the ceiling and falling to the floor, Gengar is now unable to battle, giving Ash the victory.

Before the group heads out, Morty admits that Ash may actually have seen {{an|Ho-Oh}}, then hands over the {{Badge|Fog}}. Later, Team Rocket flees from the haunted building, complaining of how nightmarish the day has been.

==Blurb==

''The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa is the star of ''Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages''! When Ash, Pikachu, and their friends visit a desert city by the sea, they meet the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, who has the ability to summon things—including people and Pokémon—through its magic ring. After a scary incident, they learn a story about a brave hero who stopped the rampage of a terrifying Pokémon long ago. Now, the threat that has been bottled up for years is in danger of breaking loose again! Can Ash help his new friend overcome the darkness within...or will a dangerous secret erupt into a clash of legends?''

==Plot==
One hundred years ago in a small village, a {{p|Hoopa|mysterious Pokémon}} appears out of a ring, which, using its rings, gives the villagers huge piles of pure gold, thus allowing the village to grow and prosper. It goes on to summon and defeat a series of increasingly strong Pokémon at the behest of the villagers. It eventually summons several [[Legendary Pokémon]]. The villagers watch in excitement and the mysterious Pokémon decides to show off its power by defeating the Legendary Pokémon easily. However, the village begins to get destroyed during the ensuing battle and the uncontrollable Pokémon unleashes its fury against the village. A lone [[Ghris|traveler]] then manages to trap the mysterious Pokémon into [[Prison Bottle|a bottle]], stopping the damage and causing all the summoned Legendary Pokémon to return to where they come from. The traveler disposes of the bottle properly, hoping that the darkness will never be released from its prison.

Years later, a [[Baraz|man]] with his {{p|Braviary}} finds the bottle in a cave deep in the desert. But as soon as he touches the bottle, he is possessed by the enraged spirit inside.

Meanwhile, in a [[Pokémon Center]] out in the desert, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are frolicking in the pool and eating {{an|Serena}}'s donut-shaped [[Poké Puff]]s. Serena mentions they should visit [[Dahara City]], a famous city with a famous [[Dahara Tower|tower]]. Suddenly, a mysterious ring appears from nowhere and a hand comes out, grabbing {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}'s donut and replacing it with a [[Tamato Berry]]. Chespin, not realizing the switch, eats it and begins to overheat from its spicy flavor. Ash then notices multiple rings popping out of nowhere, grabbing all the donuts. He attempts to apprehend the culprit, but manages to get pulled into a ring along with {{AP|Pikachu}}. The pair soon realize that they now are in Dahara City and the prankster reveals itself to be a talking {{an|Hoopa}}. Always a prankster, Hoopa insists on calling Ash 'Ashkan' and Pikachu 'Pikan'. Hoopa then decides that it wants to show off its power to the two, and summons a large horde of Pikachu, including five [[Cosplay Pikachu]], from its rings. Hoopa makes a game of this and asks Ash which is his 'Pikan', though Ash easily picks out the right one. Eventually, Ash and Hoopa get eletrocuted by the Pikachu as they get excited and out of control.

A [[Meray|woman]] approaches the three and lectures Hoopa on its behavior, but gets electrocuted as well. She soon introduces herself as Meray and Ash asks Hoopa to make a ring to get to his friends, to which Hoopa excitedly agrees to do so. Ash reaches through and grabs the group to Dahara City. After introductions and getting washed with a mass of water Hoopa had brought through its ring, the group decide to go to Dahara Tower, the same place where Meray was heading. However, when they ask Hoopa if they could make the trip shorter by using its rings, the group find out that Hoopa is unable to go completely through its own rings yet, so the team decide to move on foot instead.

Just as they are about to leave, the possessed man with the bottle joins the group, and Meray greets him excitedly. However, the man without a word, releases the dark spirit from the Prison Bottle, transforming Hoopa into the same monster that attacked the village one hundred years ago. The transformed Hoopa then begins to attack the group, even throwing a building at them, but Pikachu swiftly counterattacks with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, shattering the building and sending Team Rocket, who had been spying on the group for a while, blasting off. The man, now introduced as Baraz, is released from his spell and realizes that Hoopa is wanting the bottle. Meray, pleading that it was her plan from the start, grabs the bottle from him and reseals the dark spirit inside. Hoopa transforms back into its Confined form, falling limply to be caught by Ash. The Prison Bottle flies off and lands close by, but as {{an|Serena}} is about to grab it, Baraz forbids her, now knowing that whoever touches the bottle will become possessed by it. {{an|Clemont}} then reveals his {{DL|List of Clemont's inventions|Fully Automatic Lifting Machine}}, which, using the same mechanics as the move {{m|Magnet Rise}}, lifts the bottle without needing someone to hold the bottle.

After everything has settled, Baraz reveals to the group that one hundred years ago Hoopa, in its Unbound form, appeared out of a ring taking the villagers' food. To pay them back, Hoopa offered showers of gold, allowing the town to prosper and grow. The villagers built a house for it, where Hoopa listened to the people's wishes in return for food. The people then began to challenge Hoopa in battle where Hoopa won easily, but eventually Hoopa became carried away in its desire for power. It soon went mad with power, testing its strength against Legendary Pokémon, only to be stopped by the Prison Bottle wielded by Baraz and Meray's [[Ghris|great-grandfather]]. Baraz shows the group his necklace, with a golden cross-like wheel piece resembling {{p|Arceus}}'s body. Baraz comments that his ancestors communicated with Arceus and also received their powers from it. Likewise, his great-grandfather had used these powers to seal away the Prison Bottle, and then had settled in [[Arche Valley]]. Baraz then reveals that according to his great-grandfather, Hoopa could not pass through its rings until it understood why it had been confined.

Baraz then reflects on his childhood with Meray and Hoopa, including having become lost in the wilderness and caring for Hoopa when it was sick. Having returned safe and sound, he recalls his great-grandfather calling Hoopa as "family too". After this, at Clemont's question, Baraz reveals that he will take the bottle back to Arche Valley. However at that moment, Team Rocket intervene, grabbing the Prison Bottle from above in their Meowth balloon.

As Meowth retrieves the bottle, he becomes possessed by the dark spirit, who controls Meowth to release itself from the bottle. It once again attempts to possess Hoopa, but with the help of Baraz and Meray's power, Hoopa is able to overcome it. Meanwhile, Team Rocket had dropped the bottle, and despite Pikachu running to grab it before it made impact, the dark spirit shatters the bottle, leaving only remnants of it on the floor. Though Hoopa had overcome the darkness, dark spirit then manifests itself into a form like that of Hoopa's Unbound form (the Shadow). It first sends Team Rocket flying, and then sets its target on the real Hoopa. Hoopa summons a {{p|Lugia}} to intercept it so that the group can escape. Having run from the chaos, Baraz decides to make a new bottle at Dahara Tower. Meray recalls that they will require the forces of {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Ground}} to make another one. The group decide to use [[Serena's Braixen]] and [[Ash's Frogadier]] for two of the forces, and with {{an|Bonnie}}'s idea, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Hippopotas}} she had seen close to the Pokémon Center they had visited before. While Hoopa transports them to Dahara Tower, since Hoopa cannot pass through its ring, Ash, Pikachu and Hoopa instead decide to go into hiding.

While hiding, Ash suggests that Hoopa and the Shadow try to get along, only for them to get found by the Shadow who tries to grab Hoopa. Several times the three are found by the Shadow, only to be saved by Lugia attacking the Shadow. Later, Lugia is shot down by the Shadow and as Lugia tries to retaliate, the Shadow sends it back to the sea using its ring.

Ash then decides to battle the Shadow and asks Hoopa to use its rings. Hoopa summons {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} which the three ride upon. The three Legendary Pokémon attack the Shadow with {{m|Dragon Pulse}} all at once, but to no avail. Ash, then noticing the tower, decides to head in that direction. But soon they are cornered by the Shadow, who goes on to summon [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}, Primal {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} and an all-out battle ensues between the Legendary Pokémon.

Meanwhile in Dahara Tower, using Braixen, Frogadier, and Hippopotas, the group begin to reforge the bottle.

Back outside, the battle amongst the Legendary Pokémon continues. The Shadow and its army continue to attack Ash and his group. However, Ash and his allies find renewed strength and speed by Mega Evolving into Mega Latios, Mega Latias, and Mega Rayquaza. In response, Kyurem transforms into Black Kyurem, and the fierce battle continues, with continued destruction to the city. While Ash, Pikachu and Hoopa are fleeing on Latios and Latias, an attack from Kyurem (now White Kyurem) causes Ash to fall off Latios. As Ash plummets to the ground, he is saved by Hoopa's ring who transports him back onto Latios' back.

The battle then begins to centralize around Dahara Tower, as Latios stops the Shadow's attempts at using its rings to attack the tower. Ash commands Rayquaza to use {{m|Twister}} around the tower along with Latios and Latias' {{m|Psychic}} to impede an all-out assault on the tower. The Shadow's army attacks, but is successfully blocked by the shield they had made. However, the Shadow attacks Rayquaza above, destroying the Twister shield, and Shadow's army proceeds to attack the tower. The Shadow then corners Ash and Hoopa, and is just about the grab Hoopa before it is suddenly stopped by Baraz, who has now completed the Prison Bottle.

Shadow's army, now released from the Shadow, stop attacking and Baraz seals the Shadow within the bottle once more. As he does so, the bottle flies from Baraz's hand, which Ash leaps up to catch. Ash is immediately possessed by the Shadow. The possessed Ash then gets angry at Hoopa, but Hoopa tries to heal the Shadow's wounds with the memories that Hoopa had with Baraz, Meray, and their great-grandfather. Through these memories, the evil power disappears as a ray of light. Out in the distance, the Legendary Pokémon roar, and Hoopa claims that "they were surprised."

However, just as things had settled, a space-time void warp forms around the tower, perhaps due to the fact that too many Legendary Pokémon had been summoned. Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} proves useless against the warp which continues to advance towards the tower, destroying everything in its path. The Legendary Pokémon also try to attack the warp from outside, but to no avail. Hoopa then suggests that Ash use the Prison Bottle, allowing Hoopa to willingly transform into its Unbound form. Using its rings, it helps the people inside the tower escape, including Team Rocket. Finally, only Ash and the group with Hoopa are left behind, knowing that Hoopa cannot go through its own rings. Despite this, Ash encourages Hoopa to try, and transforms Hoopa back into its smaller Confined form. Meanwhile, the destructive warp continues to close in on the tower and Hoopa's ring begins to shrink in size.

After Serena, Clemont and Bonnie escape through the ring, Ash and Hoopa jump into the ring. However they are bounced back, unable to go through the ring. Hoopa tries twoo more times, but Hoopa still cannot go through the ring, and inadvertently helps Meray and Ash escape. Baraz is left alone with Hoopa and the warp is now getting very close to the two. But at the last moment, the rift stops due to the power of Arceus, giving them one more chance to escape through the ring. As everyone lends Hoopa their strength, Hoopa remembers the words that Baraz's great-grandfather had told it - that he considers Hoopa "family too". With these words Hoopa is able to get through the ring. With only a very small ring left, Baraz is able to narrowly escape with the help of Hoopa.

The rift is then broken, and all that is left is a decimated tower. In the sky, everyone notices Arceus looking down at them, which then goes to fly away. After all that happened, Clemont suggests they go back to Arche Valley, but Hoopa declines, saying he has to fix the tower first, and wishes Ash the best of luck on his journey to become a Pokémon Master.

===Movie distributions===
[[File:M18 Hoopa distribution artwork.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Hoopa distribution artwork]]
In Japan, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Movie Hoopa|Hoopa]] was distributed via local wireless at theaters which screen the movie across Japan, which occurred from July 18 to August 30, 2015. It was also distributed at a pre-showing of the movie on July 5, 2015, which was only open to selected people. Like all other local Generation VI events, this event is not region-locked; any player regardless of region and language will be able to receive Hoopa.

Additionally, [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Serena's Pancham]], {{DL|List of Japanese region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Lugia}}, and {{DL|List of Japanese region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Latios}}, all based from the movie, were made available between July 18 and August 16, 2015, available in pairs. Ash's Pikachu (holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}) and Serena's Pancham (holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Black Glasses}}) were available from July 18 to 31, 2015, while Latios (holding a {{DL|Mega Stone|Latiosite}}) and Lugia (holding {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}) were available from August 1 to 16, 2015.

==Trivia==
* This movie was released between ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'' and ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'' in Japan.
* The production team went to Dubai as location scouting for the setting of the movie, [[Dahara City]].
* This was the first movie to not have [[Hideki Sonoda]] act as screenwriter since ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. Instead, it was written by Atsuhiro Tomioka.
* The soundtrack for this film heavily features remixes and samples from previous films' soundtracks, including ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice]]'', and ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.
** Also, a remix of "To Be Continued", which was mostly used during the [[original series]], is used when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in a Pokémon Center in a desert. However, this music was replaced in the dub.
* In an opening scene, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are shown flying through a town with a similar appearance to [[Alto Mare]], which was the main setting of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''.
* This marks the second time Ash has been possessed by an evil entity, the first being in ''[[AG178|Battling The Enemy Within]]''.
* The movie was released on DVD in Australia and New Zealand by Beyond Home Entertainment on December 2, 2015, prior to the movie's premiere in the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the home video release in Japan.
* Some moves of the main characters' Pokémon in this movie have different animation than in the Pokémon main anime series:
** When [[Ash's Frogadier]] uses {{m|Water Pulse}}, it rises a water column around it and direct it to the target, while in the main series, it forms a water sphere in its hands.
** [[Serena's Braixen]] fires {{m|Flamethrower}} from her mouth, like a {{p|Fennekin}}, instead of her wand stick like in the main series.
* The [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]] website [https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20161204202323/http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/timeline.html#2015 mistakenly listed] the movie as having debuted in the United States on December 12, 2015, which was one week before the actual US debut.
* {{p|Giratina}} is the only member of the [[creation trio]] to not be shown in [[Reverse World|its home dimension]] at any point in the film.
* This is the final {{pkmn|movie}} to air on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}}.
* This movie features eleven [[Legendary Pokémon]], more than any other so far.

===Errors===
* When Giratina launches a {{m|Shadow Ball}} at Dahara Tower after Shadow Hoopa breaks the tornado barrier, Mega Latios's forehead briefly turns completely white as it dodges.
* When Ash is holding the prison bottle after it is purified, part of his left glove is missing, showing his un-gloved hand.

===Dub edits===
* [[Every Side Of Me]] replaces [[Tweedia]] as the ending theme.
* In the initial television broadcast, a number of scenes are removed to shorten the film's running time. Most notably, the entire sequence of the young [[Meray]] and [[Baraz]] traveling into the desert when Hoopa falls ill is cut up to the point where they return to [[Arche Valley]]. As a result, when they encounter [[Ghris]], his line of "and now you have returned" is referring to an event not shown in the broadcast.
** The ending credits in the broadcast are significantly shortened, played over a black screen, and utilize a short clip of Every Side Of Me for music.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

After a false start, the Lumiose Gym battle between Ash and Clemont is getting under way! To begin, Clemont’s Bunnelby and Ash’s Pikachu trade the same moves they used when they first met, on Ash’s first day in the Kalos region. Bunnelby has learned some new tricks since then, but it can’t stand up against Pikachu’s Iron Tail.

Next up, Clemont sends out Heliolisk, and Ash switches to Goodra. But Heliolisk moves with impressive speed, dashing around the battlefield more quickly than Goodra can follow. Ash calls Goodra back and sends out the speedy Hawlucha, but Heliolisk still seems unstoppable...until Ash notices that it pauses to spread its frills before every attack. Hawlucha times its attack just right and knocks Heliolisk out!

Clemont’s final Pokémon is Luxray, who uses Electric Terrain to charge up the battlefield and quickly takes down both Hawlucha and Pikachu. Ash sends Goodra back into battle and uses Rain Dance to short out the electric battlefield. Then, a clever use of Bide allows Goodra to unleash an overwhelming show of force, giving Ash the win and the Voltage Badge!

Serena suggests Laverre City as the next destination, and our heroes get ready to head out—with Clemont once again by their side!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{an|Clemont}} prepare to have their long-awaited Gym battle at the [[Lumiose Gym]]. As {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Bonnie}} watch from the stands, they have {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} come out so that they can all watch the battle as well. {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} joins them a moment later, disappointed because it will not be participating in the Gym battle. In addition, [[Meyer]] comes to watch the Gym battle as well, much to everyone's surprise.

[[Clembot]], acting as the referee, starts the match, and Clemont brings out {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} as his first Pokémon. Ash, though momentarily surprised at Clemont's choice, decides to start the battle with {{AP|Pikachu}}. While Bunnelby and Pikachu are battling, Bonnie realizes that the battle is proceeding in the exact same way - the same attacks, the same responses, and the same successful hits - as [[XY001|the very first battle between Ash and Clemont]]. As Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}} and Clemont responds by having Bunnelby grab Pikachu with its ears, which is the same response he made last time, Clemont shows off Bunnelby's new move, {{m|Wild Charge}}, to great effect. After two {{m|Dig}} attacks, with the first one successful and the second one stopped by Iron Tail, Pikachu lands a final blow on Bunnelby and eliminates it from the match.

For his second Pokémon, Clemont chooses {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, and Ash recalls Pikachu in favor of {{AP|Goodra}}. Despite Goodra's powerful {{m|Dragon Pulse}} nearly hitting its mark, Heliolisk proves to be extremely agile and takes advantage of that. Goodra is helpless against Heliolisk's barrage of attacks, culminating in its paralysis with {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Realizing that Goodra cannot defeat Heliolisk, Ash substitutes {{AP|Hawlucha}} for it. Although Heliolisk begins to overpower Hawlucha as well with its combinations of {{m|Flash}} and {{m|Parabolic Charge}}, Ash notices that Heliolisk is momentarily vulnerable during the second it takes to open its frills. Using this to his advantage, Ash orders Hawlucha to execute a point-blank {{m|High Jump Kick}}, knocking Heliolisk out.

With Ash having all three of his Pokémon left and Clemont just one, the match is very decidedly leaning in Ash's favor. However, Clemont calls on {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}, his most powerful Pokémon. After using {{m|Electric Terrain}}, Luxray easily knocks out Hawlucha with a single Wild Charge and has little trouble in taking Pikachu out of the battle as well. With only Ash's paralyzed Goodra left, the battle has suddenly shifted to favor Clemont instead. Immediately after calling Goodra out, Ash has it use {{m|Rain Dance}}. The Rain Dance both wipes out the Electric Terrain and, due to Goodra having the [[Ability]] {{a|Hydration}}, cures its paralysis. The two Pokémon, now on even footing, exchange attack after attack. Finally, however, Luxray falls to Goodra's {{m|Bide}} attack.

After the match, Ash and Clemont thank each other for the amazing battle and Clemont rewards Ash with the {{badge|Voltage}}. Following Serena's suggestion, Ash sets his sights on [[Laverre City]] as the location of his sixth Gym battle. Clemont assures the group that he will continue traveling with them from this point on, and they all renew the promise they made [[XY003|at the beginning of their journey]], this time with Serena and Dedenne as well.

Z-Move

2018-10-10T15:20:43Z

LuigiRobs14: Unless who ever added the information is watching a different English Dub, the Z-Move text is still edited out.

[[File:Sun Moon Z-Move artwork.png|thumb|240px|Artwork for Z-Moves]]

A '''Z-Move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}ワザ''' ''Z-Move'') is a special type of [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]] in which a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their Pokémon's wishes combine to unleash an attack comprising the full power of both. These moves are very powerful, but they can only be used once per {{pkmn|battle}}, unless a Roto Boost is used.

==History==
The origins of Z-Power are largely shrouded in mystery. However, information by [[Professor Kukui]] indicates that Z-Power may be related to the energy produced by [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. [[Wicke]] also speculates that [[Lusamine]]'s losing consciousness after fusing with {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] may have been due to the Z-Power surrounding her. Alolan legends found in the Malie Library also indicate that {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}} gifted the Tapunium Z to the [[guardian deities]] after fighting against them. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] reveal that the Z-Power that surrounds the user and their Pokémon when using a Z-Move as well as the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]] are a result of {{p|Necrozma}}'s light shining down on Alola long ago.

==Z-Moves==
There are three different kinds of Z-Moves: Z-Moves which can be used by any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with one Z-Move for each of the 18 [[type]]s; status moves that have been turned into Z-Moves by one of the 18 type-specific Z-Crystals; and Z-Moves that can only be used by specific Pokémon. The Z-Move that a Pokémon can perform depends on the [[Z-Crystal]] it [[held item|holds]]. There are 18 different Z-Crystals that correspond to each of the 18 types, and several others that correspond to specific Pokémon. Z-Moves work by powering up one of the Pokémon's normal moves, so the Pokémon must also know an appropriate move. For the type-related Z-Crystals, the Pokémon must know a move of the same type as the Z-Crystal it is holding. For the Pokémon-specific Z-Crystals, the move required differs for each Pokémon.

A [[Z-Ring]] or Z-Power Ring is also required in order to perform Z-Moves. A Pokémon can only use a Z-Move if its Trainer is wearing a Z-Ring or Z-Power Ring and has the same Z-Crystal the Pokémon is holding. [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] and [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon cannot use Z-Moves, even when holding an appropriate Z-Crystal (such as after {{m|Transform}}).

==Gameplay==
===In battle===
When using a Z-Move in the games, a special cutscene plays, first showing the Trainer performing a certain pose, before shifting to the Pokémon surrounding itself with its Z-Power and executing the Z-Move. This cutscene cannot be deactivated, even if battle animations are turned off.

Z-Moves draw upon the {{PP}} of the Pokémon's original moves in order to execute, requiring and consuming PP upon use. When the Z-Move option is chosen in battle, a list of Z-Moves overlays the Pokémon's original list of moves, with each compatible move of the Pokémon's original moves overlain by a Z-Move option that draws upon that move.

Damaging Z-Moves derive their [[damage category|category]] ([[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]]) and [[power]] from the original move. For example, a {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} based on {{m|Nuzzle}} (with a power of 20) will have a power of 100 and be a physical move, while one based on {{m|Thunderbolt}} (with a power of 90) will have a power of 175 and be a special move. If the Pokémon knows more than one compatible move, it will be able to choose among different versions of the Z-Move with different stats, with the instance that has the highest power sparkling. Damaging Z-Moves do not inherit any other properties from the original move, so have neutral [[priority]] and do not have the [[additional effect]]s of the base move.

Damaging Z-Moves bypass {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

Z-Moves based on [[status move]]s are enhanced versions of the original moves, having a Z- prefixed to the start of the status move's name. While they have the effects of the original status move, the user also receives a '''Z-Power effect''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}パワー{{tt|こうか|効果}}''' ''Z-Power effect''), which is executed before the move itself. For example, Z-{{m|Splash}} also boosts the user's {{stat|Attack}} by 3 stages, while Z-{{m|Parting Shot}} also restores the switch-in ally's HP by 100%. These effects are not affected by {{a|Contrary}}, {{a|Simple}}, or {{m|Heal Block}}.

Exclusive Z-Moves can be used only by specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and require a specific move to be upgraded. They have a fixed [[damage category|category]] and [[power]]. Exclusive Z-Moves can be used by a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into an appropriate species regardless of its original species, if it holds the corresponding Z-Crystal; however, if the Pokémon who the move is exclusive to is transformed, it cannot use its own species' exclusive Z-Move unless it is transformed into another Pokémon of the same species.

Damaging Z-Moves cannot be fully protected against by {{cat|protection moves}} (such as {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Spiky Shield}}), instead dealing 25% of the original damage. Status Z-Moves can be blocked by protection moves, but will apply their Z-Power effects regardless. Like any other move, Z-Moves can be redirected by effects such as {{m|Follow Me}} and {{a|Storm Drain}}.

Z-Moves may be used without regard to the effects of {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Torment}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Imprison}}, and {{m|Heal Block}}; however, the Pokémon never has an opportunity to select a Z-Move if it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} (e.g. if it is affected by Taunt and only knows [[status move]]s). Even if the target of Z-{{m|Heal Pulse}} or Z-{{m|Floral Healing}} is affected by Heal Block, that Pokémon's HP is restored. Status Z-Moves can be used without regard to the effects of {{m|Gravity}}, but Gravity will still cause them to fail after applying their Z-Power effect (e.g. Z-Magnet Rise will raise the user's evasion but then fail).

Even if a status Z-Move fails, it still applies its Z-Power effect. Z-Moves are affected normally by {{m|Powder}} and [[weather]]. {{cat|Weather-changing moves}} turned into Z-Moves (except {{m|Defog}}) will disappear as usual during [[rain|heavy rain]], [[harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], and a [[mysterious air current]], but will apply their Z-Power effects regardless.

The types of damaging Z-Moves are unaffected by {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types|type-modifying Abilities}} (although status Z-Moves' types are). However, their types are affected by {{m|Ion Deluge}} (if the Z-Move would be Normal-type) and {{m|Electrify}}.

If a Pokémon uses a damaging Z-Move on a Pokémon with {{a|Cursed Body}}, that damaging Z-Move can be disabled (with no effect on the base move). However, if Cursed Body would disable a status Z-Move (such as Z-{{m|Nature Power}}), the base status move will be disabled.

====Power====
With the exceptions of {{m|Mega Drain}} (120), {{m|Weather Ball}} (160), {{m|Hex}} (160), {{m|Gear Grind}} (180), {{m|V-create}} (220), {{m|Flying Press}} (170), and {{m|Core Enforcer}} (140), the powers of the type-specific damaging Z-Moves follow the following conversion table for base moves that have fixed powers. {{m|Struggle}} has a power of 1 as a Z-Move in the game data, which does not follow this table, but it is not possible to turn Struggle into a Z-Move.

==Z-Power effects of status moves==
When a status move is upgraded into a Z-Move, it may also gain a Z-Power effect in addition to its regular effect. Additionally, when used as a Z-Move, all {{cat|moves that call other moves}} convert the called move into its corresponding Z-Move, although [[status move]]s called this way do not get their Z-Power effect. Moves stolen by Z-{{m|Snatch}}, reflected by Z-{{m|Magic Coat}}, or instructed by Z-{{m|Instruct}} are not turned into Z-Moves.

==In the TCG==
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], a mechanic similar to Z-Moves, introduced in the {{tcg|Sun & Moon}} expansion, is a type of attack called {{GX}} {{tcg|attack|attacks}}. Known exclusively by {{tcg|Pokémon-GX|Pokémon}}{{GX}}, they are distinguished by a "{{GX}}" suffix following the attack's name, such as in "Pulverizing Pancake{{GX}}".

Like Z-Moves, {{GX}} attacks have very powerful effects compared to those of other attacks. However, each player may use no more than one {{GX}} attack per game. {{GX}} markers are used to denote whether a player has used his or her {{GX}} attack yet. When a player uses a {{GX}} attack, his or her {{GX}} marker is flipped over to expose its reverse side.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Gigavolt Havoc pose.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Pikachu about to use Gigavolt Havoc]]
Similar to the games, Z-Moves are powerful moves that can be executed by a Pokémon that knows an appropriate move which corresponds to the type of Z-Crystal on the Trainer's Z-Ring. Z-Moves were first featured in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} in episode ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} used {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} with the help of Kiawe's [[Z-Ring]] and [[Firium Z]] which he used to defeat [[Zipp]]'s {{p|Yungoos}}, [[Tupp]]'s {{p|Salandit}}, and [[Rapp]]'s {{p|Zubat}}.

According to {{an|Professor Kukui}} in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', only Trainers who are successful in the [[island challenge]] can use Z-Moves. As seen with [[Ash's Rowlet]] in ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', Z-Moves drain a lot of the Pokémon's energy, but with adequate training, the Pokémon can reduce the amount of energy necessary to execute a Z-Move. In a similar manner, in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', [[Lana's Popplio]] failed its first attempt at {{m|Hydro Vortex}} since it was not strong enough to execute the move.

Due to their vast blast radius and power, they can usually be used to wipe out many targets at once, like in a [[Battle Royal]]. Typically, bipedal or semi-bipedal Pokémon with arm-like forelimbs tend to mimic the poses of their Trainer during the activation. On the other hand, quadrupeds and the like, whose forelimbs show no manual dexterity, tend to stay still and wait until the activation is completed before acting.

{{Ash}} first performed a Z-Move in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', with his {{AP|Pikachu}} using {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} thanks to the Z-Ring and [[Electrium Z]] Ash had received from {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}. After using the attack, however, the Electrium Z shattered, preventing Ash from using the move again until he obtained a new Electrium Z in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''.

In the Japanese, {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}}, {{pmin|Greater China|Mandarin Chinese}}, and {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} versions, when a Z-Move is used, the name of the specific move is shown, like in the games; however, the names are removed in most other [[dub]]s.

==In the manga==
===In the movie adaptations===
{{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} performed the {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} Z-Move in [[ICYR1]] during a battle against a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}}.

{{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} and {{OBP|Ken|ICYR}} performed the {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}} Z-Move in [[ICYR2]] in order to defeat [[Borosue]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Z-Moves first appeared in the {{chap|Sun & Moon}}. [[Olivia]] had her {{p|Lycanroc}} use {{m|Continental Crush}} while [[Nanu]] had his [[regional variant|Alolan]] {{p|Persian}} use {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} during an exhibition match against each other. [[Hala]] stepped in to stop both Pokémon before either could successfully use their moves.

During his battle against [[Gladion]] in an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, {{adv|Sun}} inadvertently used a Z-Move with his {{p|Litten|En}}, allowing it to defeat Gladion's {{p|Type: Null}} with an incomplete version of {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. Due to not knowing how to use Z-Moves at the time, Sun received Z-Power from a nearby [[Ultra Wormhole]] instead of building it up with a pose. Later, he was taught how to properly perform Z-Moves by [[Kiawe]] in order to battle Gladion a second time. With his newly-obtained Z-Ring, Sun and En successfully used Inferno Overdrive properly.

==Trivia==
* According to a book in [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the ''Z'' in ''Z-Move'' is short for ''zenith'' (Japanese: '''ゼンリョク/{{tt|全力|ぜんりょく}}''', ''zenryoku''<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/fight/160801_01.html トレーナーとポケモンが一体となって放つゼンリョクの攻撃「Ｚワザ」｜『ポケットモンスターサン・ムーン』公式サイト]</ref> "full power/force").
** Internal data in the games also refer to Z-Move as ''ZenryokuWaza'', which literally means "full-powered move".
* Some cutscenes when using a Z-Move bear similarities to the [[Appeal#Spectacular Talent|cutscenes]] used in [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is also the main character of various {{pkmn|manga}} based on the anime, including [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ash & Pikachu]], and {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}.

He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]] whose goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. He shares his Japanese name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]."

==In the anime==
===History===
In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in the forest while looking for Pokémon. He brought some wild Pokémon out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer.

Ash also enrolled in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp when he was young. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and [[Gary Oak]] both fished out a Poké Ball which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Ash fleeing Spearow.png|thumb|220px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his Pokémon journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the anime. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had "borrowed" to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Ash caught his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''.

In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought and lost in a [[Pokémon battle]] with {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader. In his rematch, Ash nearly defeated Brock, but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's younger [[Brock's siblings|siblings]]. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who dreamt to be the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.

In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by its former trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught it.

Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.

Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.

Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16.

Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Archipelago, Ash learned of the [[Orange Crew]], an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the [[Orange Crew]] and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. Before leaving the Orange Archipelago, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and [[release]]d it back into the wild. Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard in order to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].

Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto region to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.

Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 8. He was defeated by Misty in a 3-on-3; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{jo|Silver}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.

Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====
After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Norman]]'s (the [[Petalburg City Gym]] Leader) children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], {{an|Brock}} rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous teams]], [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu actually getting possessed by {{p|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s (unintentional) help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.

While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself, but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.

===={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}====
[[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]
Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first, but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did travel with him through Sinnoh like he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. It's kind of like he did with May, but he actually watched all of Dawn's Contests unlike May's where in some cases he would train instead. Just as he supports Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.

[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]
While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together, when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his own philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him Paul often bested him in battles as his own Pokémon were very powerful (He only kept Pokémon that were naturally very strong). Ash's Pokémon, while strong in their own right, were not yet equals. This came to a devastating defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon. Ash recognised that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in future.

[[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]
While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two Pokémon Contests - once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.

As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{p|Azelf}} of the {{an|Lake guardians}}. Along with [[Cynthia]], [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.

Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, using {{p|Infernape}} (who had evolved from the {{p|Chimchar}} Paul abandoned) to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. At the conclusion of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his travels to Unova as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash traveled with [[Professor Oak]] and [[Delia Ketchum]] on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid City Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom, and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.

As they journeyed, Ash and friends ended up again being caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|Forces of Nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.

After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.

As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learnt of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their own dreams.

===={{series|XY}}====
[[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash as a Baron at the Battle Chateau]]
In the {{series|XY}}, Ash traveled to the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, who started to travel with him after he calmed down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at the top of Prism Tower with the assistance of a brave {{AP|Froakie|Greninja}}. After the incident was resolved, the {{p|Froakie}} allowed itself to be captured by Ash. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the [[Bug Badge]], after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]].

The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her own journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was actually the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his own Gym by his own invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to a progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.

As they traveled, the group started to learn the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]] after meeting [[Professor Sycamore]] and [[Diantha]].

From ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'' to ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', Ash traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader [[Korrina]] to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.

Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends come across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Sometime afterwards, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash would also support Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen, and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.

Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Psychic Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his own fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.

Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the [[Villainous teams|villainous organization]], [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their own protective custody. Some time afterwards, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|home town]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.

Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight, but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful to master the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.

After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to [[Wulfric]], the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory in, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back and forth battle that eventually came down to Alain's Mega Charizard X against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.

[[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]
During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash resisted the machine's influence and broke free using Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre, and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.

Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bade farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, and his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja, before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well, and returned to Pallet Town.

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====
In ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and [[Professor Kukui]] and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{p|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.

In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.

Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island Kahuna]] [[Hala]]. In addition, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]].

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Ash and his classmates traveled to Kanto for an extracurricular activity. This allowed Ash to reunite with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon living at Professor Oak's Laboratory. In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', they paid a visit to the Cerulean Gym, where he and Pikachu had a battle against Misty and used Gigavolt Havoc to defeat her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}.

In ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed [[Nebby]], by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Nebby teleported Ash to [[Ten Carat Hill]], where Ash encountered Gladion again. There, he learned that Lillie's fear of touching was caused by a {{p|Nihilego}} [[Faba]] accidentally summoned from an [[Ultra Wormhole]].

In ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', after an accident with Nebby caused Lillie's fear of touching Pokémon to resurface, Ash and Lillie traveled to [[Aether Paradise]] in order to find out how Lillie's trauma originated. Worried that Lillie regaining her memories could put him in trouble, Faba attempted to erase Lillie's memories again. Faba was defeated by Gladion's {{p|Type: Null}}, after it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Silvally}}. Seeing Silvally allowed Lillie to remember how her fear of touching Pokémon began and overcome it, thus regaining the ability to touch all types of Pokémon.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learn about this, they enlisted Gladion and [[Lusamine]] in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a Nihlego from an Ultra Wormhole. Nihilego proceeded to knock Faba away, forcing the others to battle it. Nihilego proved to be too powerful, forcing Lusamine to push Gladion out of the way to prevent him from getting captured by it; as a result, she was caught instead, allowing Nihilego to easily drag her into the Ultra Wormhole. Afterwards, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.

[[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', Ash, his classmates, and Gladion watched as the [[guardian deities]] helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a Z-Power Ring. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby opened up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back.

In ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', while Lillie managed to get through to her mother with a speech, the Nihilego refused to let go. After Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', during Kukui's and burnet's wedding reception, Ash and his friends are invited to join an Ultra Beast response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agree to.

In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Ash and his classmates were invited to their first mission as the [[Ultra Guardians]], their goal being to capture a {{p|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered Buzzwole at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash started battling against it with Pikachu. Throughout the battle, although Pikachu was able to land a Thunderbolt, Buzzwole constantly had the upper hand. However, when Kiawe tried to join the fight, it turned out that Buzzwole actually preferred flexing to battling, so Ash and Kiawe started flexing with it, requiring {{Rotom}} to remind Ash that he needed to throw a {{ball|Beast}} while the [[Ultra Beast]] was distracted. As such, Ash flung a Beast Ball at Buzzwole, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where [[Professor Burnet]] temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return back home.

In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a small incident in which Pikachu went missing, Rowlet was poisoned, and Team Rocket appearing (and consequently disappearing), Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was really happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured, and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Ash arrived on [[Ula'ula Island]] for his island challenge, though after being rejected by [[Nanu]] and losing an impromptu "pre-Trial", Ash decided to stay on the island and train under Tapu Bulu. Ash then formally participated in his island challenge in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. In the [[SM077|following episode]], Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor, and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].

===Character===
[[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|250px|Young Ash]]
Ash is an only child who lived with his mother, {{Delia}}, until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect, and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

Ash is shown to have a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers}}, Ash resolves to do anything in his power to stop them.

Despite this, and previous dealings with [[Villainous teams|evil organizations]], Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent 'sudden appearances' that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[List of Clemont's inventions|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own, and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].

In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently training his Pokémon. However, since the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.

In the beginning, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his own skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about things that were perfectly legal, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as Team Rocket had worn out his Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism to his own skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.

[[File:DP131.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Paul]]
Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worth of his attention, and after a long, and exhausting, journey, finally managed to accomplish so after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal, if not superior.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Johto League arc}}, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his friends, particularly the maternal skills of {{an|Brock}}. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon SM.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
Physically Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has constantly been shown to have a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments, while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous will power, as seen when he took attacks for long periods of time and keeps advancing, which also drives his "never give up" attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles.

Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the opposite sex, more specifically in the field of [[Shipping|romance]]. Throughout the series, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the series have actually shown obvious (and subtle) affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other peoples romance Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. A few times when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will mainly give advice in improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger.

Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before.

Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movies}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Although viewed as a normal [[human]], Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[Aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient Aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it.

Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken [[Poké Ball]], while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.

His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born, and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown.

===Pokémon===

[[File:Ash with his Pokémon.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his Pokémon as of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' (excluding {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Primeape}}) at Professor Oak's lab]]
[[File:Ash Kalos Team.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his [[Kalos]] Pokémon]]
As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. In fact, several of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to, after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.

Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, he incorporated a twisting-spinning type maneuver in his Pokémon's offensive and defensive techniques, which eventually lead to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. Also, sometimes he would use someone else's battle strategies as shown with [[Paul]] and {{an|Tierno}}, though when using the latter, Ash stated that his own unique strategy is the one he can truly count on, instead of simply mimicking others.

Ash is very attached to his Pokémon, and prefers to fight and train with them personally. Furthermore, he cares for their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue the battle, even after receiving great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their own wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will (if sometimes reluctantly) [[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with experienced individuals so that they could get stronger.

Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[region]] (not including when he traveled through the [[Orange Archipelago]] and challenged the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in his second tour of [[Kanto]]), he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s {{TP|Professor Oak|Laboratory}}. He usually only did so when he participated against powerful opponents (such as Trainers in the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, and [[Frontier Brain]]s), or when attending certain events that requires a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). However, during the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash actively cycled through the nine Pokémon he managed to catch in [[Unova]], although these Pokémon, when not in his party, were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]]. Near the end of his journey in Unova, Professor Juniper transferred all of Ash's Pokémon to Professor Oak's lab. Ash did not use this system of training in the [[XY series|following]] series.

Ash currently has ownership of 71 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolutions, traded, released and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has currently officially owned a total of 86 different Pokémon species.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===
[[File:Ash Ketchum PDP.png|thumb|150px|Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}]]
{{incomplete|section|Details of his role in the manga}}
Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} appear as main characters alongside {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in the {{pkmn|manga}} series {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}, an adaptation of the anime set in the timeline of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

==In Tretta==
{{main|Pikachu (05-01)}}
In [[Pokémon Tretta]], Ash and his Pikachu appear as a Master-class Tretta in the ''{{Tretta|Invasion! Mega Rayquaza}}'' expansion. When Pikachu is in play, he appears wearing [[Ash's hat]] from the {{series|XY}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Concept art of original series Ash's hat]]
* Ash's hat in the {{series|original}} was actually similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Ghost}}, or {{t|Fairy}} types, a female-only, [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] nor [[Mythical Pokémon]], nor he has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] any of his Pokémon.
* Ash has captured at least one of the [[Starter Pokémon]] in every [[region]].
* Ash's birthdate in the main series of the anime, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. In [[M20]], Ash's birthdate is instead the same day he began his journey.
** On a related note, Ash is still considered 10 years old in promotional materials as well as the [[BW001|first episode]] of ''Best Wishes'' despite ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' strongly implying that at least a full year had passed since his time in Johto.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, this drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' (when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (when Brock calls him a "human {{p|Aipom}}"). Ash's climbing ability has also been shown in several episodes throughout the series, such as ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try to save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', in which he climbed up the rock-climbing wall up to [[Grant]] to face him and win the {{badge|Cliff}}.
* Ash has lost a match against every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has faced: [[Whitney]] in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', [[Lenora]] in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora]]'', and [[Cheren]] in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''.
* Ash has lost at least one official Gym battle in every region. He lost to {{an|Brock}}, [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Blaine]] in Kanto, [[Whitney]] in Johto, [[Brawly]] in Hoenn, [[Roark]] in Sinnoh, [[Lenora]] in Unova, and [[Viola]] and [[Wulfric]] in Kalos.
** Ash also lost battles with [[Frontier Brain]]s during the [[S09|Battle Frontier arc]] of the anime, losing once to {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and twice to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.
** Ash also lost trials to [[Island Kahuna]]s in the {{series|Sun and Moon}} of the anime, losing once to [[Nanu]].
* Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].
* Ash shares at least one Pokémon of the same evolutionary family with one of his rivals in each series.

Ash's friends

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''
----
[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|270px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his classmates from the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, (clockwise from bottom left) {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Lillie}}.]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[S02|absence]].

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Ash's friends are not traveling companions, but rather classmates, since Ash is attending the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. Later in the series, Ash and his Alolan friends form a team under the supervision of [[Aether Foundation]], known as the [[Ultra Guardians]].

===Misty===
[[File:Misty OS 1.png|thumb|170px|{{an|Misty}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's Gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', and again from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' until ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' to "escort" her back home. She met up with her friends [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon|one more time]]. She and Brock also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

===Brock===

{{main|Brock (anime)}}
Brock first joined Ash in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. After his father {{ka|Flint}} offered to take over the duties of [[Gym Leader]], Brock followed Ash through [[Kanto]], leaving briefly from ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' to ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' to work for [[Professor Ivy]]. In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. He and Misty also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

===Tracey Sketchit===
[[File:TraceyEP.png|thumb|{{Tracey}}]]
{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' Ash met a [[Pokémon watcher]] named {{Tracey}} who essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

===May===
[[File:May AG 2.png|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]]. May traveled with Ash through the entire {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga, from ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', after which she went off to [[Johto]] to compete in Contests there. She, like {{an|Misty}}, reappeared briefly during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] from ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' until ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

Max is {{an|May}}'s younger brother. He does not have any Pokémon of his own because he is too young, but he often befriends certain Pokémon.

Like his journey into [[Hoenn]], Ash ventured to [[Sinnoh]] alone, where, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', he would meet {{an|Dawn}}, the daughter of a [[Top Coordinator]] wishing to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]]. From that point, after saving [[Ash's Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May's and Misty's, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she did until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' when all three friends split up.

Dawn rejoins Ash's group in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' to compete in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn would leave the group in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and travel to Johto to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].

===Meowth===
[[File:Meowth Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}}]]
{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
After reportedly being "disbanded" from Team Rocket in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

He would later team up with Ash and his friends for real in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' after losing the rest of Team Rocket to the control of the mysterious [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{p|Malamar}}, though the team was initially distrusting of him until seeing Madame X in action for themselves. Ash and Meowth were eventually the only ones not {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} by Malamar, thanks to Meowth using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both their faces. After the Malamar was revealed to be the true mastermind and was soon after defeated, Meowth returned to the newly freed Team Rocket.

It was targeted by [[Faba]] due to its ability to open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', it evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, and then in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', with the help of the Guardian deities, it evolved once more into {{p|Solgaleo}}. After Ash and his friends' adventures in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] it disappeared in ''10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!'', making a short reappearance in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''

[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|270px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his classmates from the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, (clockwise from bottom left) {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Lillie}}.]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[S02|absence]].

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Ash's friends are not traveling companions, but rather classmates, since Ash is attending the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. Later in the series, Ash and his Alolan friends form a team under the supervision of [[Aether Foundation]], known as the [[Ultra Guardians]].

===Misty===
[[File:Misty OS 1.png|thumb|170px|{{an|Misty}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's Gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', and again from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' until ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' to "escort" her back home. She met up with her friends [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon|one more time]]. She and Brock also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

{{main|Brock (anime)}}
Brock first joined Ash in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]].

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. He and Misty also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

===Tracey Sketchit===
[[File:TraceyEP.png|thumb|{{Tracey}}]]
{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' Ash met a [[Pokémon watcher]] named {{Tracey}} who essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

===May===
[[File:May AG 2.png|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]]. May traveled with Ash through the entire {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga, from ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', after which she went off to [[Johto]] to compete in Contests there. She, like {{an|Misty}}, reappeared briefly during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] from ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' until ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

Max is {{an|May}}'s younger brother. He does not have any Pokémon of his own because he is too young, but he often befriends certain Pokémon.

Like his journey into [[Hoenn]], Ash ventured to [[Sinnoh]] alone, where, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', he would meet {{an|Dawn}}, the daughter of a [[Top Coordinator]] wishing to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]]. From that point, after saving [[Ash's Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May's and Misty's, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she did until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' when all three friends split up.

Dawn rejoins Ash's group in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' to compete in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn would leave the group in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and travel to Johto to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].

===Meowth===
[[File:Meowth Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}}]]
{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
After reportedly being "disbanded" from Team Rocket in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

He would later team up with Ash and his friends for real in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' after losing the rest of Team Rocket to the control of the mysterious [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{p|Malamar}}, though the team was initially distrusting of him until seeing Madame X in action for themselves. Ash and Meowth were eventually the only ones not {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} by Malamar, thanks to Meowth using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both their faces. After the Malamar was revealed to be the true mastermind and was soon after defeated, Meowth returned to the newly freed Team Rocket.

It was targeted by [[Faba]] due to its ability to open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', it evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, and then in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', with the help of the Guardian deities, it evolved once more into {{p|Solgaleo}}. After Ash and his friends' adventures in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] it disappeared in ''10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!'', making a short reappearance in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''

[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|270px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his classmates from the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, (clockwise from bottom left) {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Lillie}}.]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[S02|absence]].

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Ash's friends are not traveling companions, but rather classmates, since Ash is attending the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. Later in the series, Ash and his Alolan friends form a team under the supervision of [[Aether Foundation]], known as the [[Ultra Guardians]].

===Misty===
[[File:Misty OS 1.png|thumb|170px|{{an|Misty}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's Gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', and again from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' until ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' to "escort" her back home. She met up with her friends [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon|one more time]]. She and Brock also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. He and Misty also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

===Tracey Sketchit===
[[File:TraceyEP.png|thumb|{{Tracey}}]]
{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' Ash met a [[Pokémon watcher]] named {{Tracey}} who essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

===May===
[[File:May AG 2.png|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]].

Like his journey into [[Hoenn]], Ash ventured to [[Sinnoh]] alone, where, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', he would meet {{an|Dawn}}, the daughter of a [[Top Coordinator]] wishing to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]]. From that point, after saving [[Ash's Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May's and Misty's, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she did until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' when all three friends split up.

Dawn rejoins Ash's group in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' to compete in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn would leave the group in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and travel to Johto to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].

===Meowth===
[[File:Meowth Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}}]]
{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
After reportedly being "disbanded" from Team Rocket in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

He would later team up with Ash and his friends for real in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' after losing the rest of Team Rocket to the control of the mysterious [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{p|Malamar}}, though the team was initially distrusting of him until seeing Madame X in action for themselves. Ash and Meowth were eventually the only ones not {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} by Malamar, thanks to Meowth using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both their faces. After the Malamar was revealed to be the true mastermind and was soon after defeated, Meowth returned to the newly freed Team Rocket.

It was targeted by [[Faba]] due to its ability to open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', it evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, and then in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', with the help of the Guardian deities, it evolved once more into {{p|Solgaleo}}. After Ash and his friends' adventures in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] it disappeared in ''10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!'', making a short reappearance in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''

[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|270px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his classmates from the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, (clockwise from bottom left) {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Lillie}}.]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[S02|absence]].

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Ash's friends are not traveling companions, but rather classmates, since Ash is attending the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. Later in the series, Ash and his Alolan friends form a team under the supervision of [[Aether Foundation]], known as the [[Ultra Guardians]].

===Misty===
[[File:Misty OS 1.png|thumb|170px|{{an|Misty}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's Gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', and again from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' until ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' to "escort" her back home. She met up with her friends [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon|one more time]]. She and Brock also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. He and Misty also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.

===Tracey Sketchit===
[[File:TraceyEP.png|thumb|{{Tracey}}]]
{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' Ash met a [[Pokémon watcher]] named {{Tracey}} who essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

===May===
[[File:May AG 2.png|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]].

===Meowth===
[[File:Meowth Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}}]]
{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
After reportedly being "disbanded" from Team Rocket in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

He would later team up with Ash and his friends for real in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' after losing the rest of Team Rocket to the control of the mysterious [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{p|Malamar}}, though the team was initially distrusting of him until seeing Madame X in action for themselves. Ash and Meowth were eventually the only ones not {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} by Malamar, thanks to Meowth using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both their faces. After the Malamar was revealed to be the true mastermind and was soon after defeated, Meowth returned to the newly freed Team Rocket.

'''Dawn's Buneary''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのミミロル''' ''Hikari's Mimirol'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{an|Dawn}}, and her second Pokémon overall.

==History==
==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
In ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'', Buneary was close by when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was almost run over by [[Officer Jenny]] while trying to get back [[Ash's hat]] from his {{AP|Aipom}}. It managed to rescue Pikachu and stayed near {{ashfr|the group}}'s campsite after that, but [[Brock's Croagunk]] noticed it was hiding in the bushes and it ran off. Both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} rushed to catch Buneary, but Dawn was determined to battle the Pokémon after failing to catch a {{p|Buneary}} in her [[DP002|previous]] [[DP004|attempts]] and quickly commanded {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to use {{m|Bubble Beam}}. However, Buneary was able to dodge Piplup's moves and {{status|confusion|confuse}} him with {{m|Dizzy Punch}} before using {{m|Bounce}} to [[Fainting|knock him out]].

After that, it was Ash's turn to try to catch Buneary. He used his Pikachu to battle Buneary, but it acted completely different than when battling Piplup before, covering its face with its fur. It then froze Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}} with {{m|Ice Beam}} and started dancing with Pikachu. Pikachu later scolded Buneary for its actions, upsetting it and making it cry. Buneary stopped crying when it heard something. However, this did not prevent it from being locked inside a glass ball from {{TRT}}'s newest mecha. Pikachu offered to go with [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} if they agreed to free Buneary, but the trio had no plans of letting Buneary go and just wanted to capture Pikachu for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. Using {{m|Iron Tail}}, Pikachu managed to break free and save Buneary. Together, they were able to wreck Team Rocket's mecha and then jump before it could explode, with Ash grabbing Pikachu and Buneary landing safely on Dawn's arms. Buneary was later asked if it would like to travel with Dawn. It agreed, but Dawn said they still should have a [[Pokémon battle]].

This time, Piplup was prepared for Buneary's moves. Their battle began with Piplup using Bubble Beam, which Buneary dodged. Piplup followed with {{m|Peck}}, only for Buneary to dodge again. When Piplup used another Bubble Beam, Buneary countered with Ice Beam. The two moves clashed, creating an explosion. Buneary then used the smoke to surprise Piplup with Dizzy Punch, but he was able to dodge and use Peck, hitting Buneary and nodding to Dawn so she could throw a [[Poké Ball]]. After a few seconds, Buneary was successfully {{pkmn2|caught}}, joining Dawn on her {{pkmn|journey|quest}} to become a [[Top Coordinator]].

[[File:Dawn with Buneary.png|thumb|left|220px|Buneary and Dawn]]
Buneary made its stage debut in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival!]]'', where it was used in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]] of the [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. It was first seen defeating a {{p|Bidoof}} to advance Dawn to the semifinals. There, it went up against [[Zoey's Glameow]]. Their battle began with Buneary using Ice Beam, which was countered by Glameow's {{m|Shadow Claw}} and used to create a stunning contrast that cost Dawn a few points. After that, Buneary used Bounce and Glameow used its curled tail to jump and surprise Buneary with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Glameow proceeded with Iron Tail, but Buneary managed to stop the attack by using its ears to grab Glameow's tail. Seeing this, [[Zoey]] ordered Glameow to spin its tail, making Buneary spin and sending it flying. Buneary fought back with Ice Beam, which Glameow managed to dodge. However, the {{type|Ice}} [[move]] ended up freezing the stage, making Glameow slip up and allowing Buneary to attack it repeatedly with Dizzy Punch and Bounce. When Glameow was about to be hit by another Dizzy Punch, it used Shadow Claw to break the ice covering the stage, sending shards towards Buneary before using Iron Tail to make it hit the ground. Time ran out after that and Buneary lost the battle on points, eliminating Dawn from the competition.

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Buneary was used alongside [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}} in the semifinal round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. They managed to defeat their opponents and advance their Trainers to the final round.

Buneary was the first Pokémon Dawn sent out during her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Maylene]] at the [[Veilstone Gym]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. Dawn was counting on Buneary's jumping skills to defeat Maylene's {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Going up against {{p|Meditite}}, Buneary started the battle with its {{type|Flying}} Bounce attack. However, the Meditate Pokémon used {{m|Detect}} to sense and then avoid Buneary's move, preventing damage. After that, Meditite managed to hit Buneary with its {{m|Drain Punch}} despite its attempt to spin and dodge the attack. Buneary got up and used Ice Beam, {{status|freezing}} Meditite briefly as it used {{m|Confusion}} to break from the ice and direct the shards at Buneary. Thanks to its footwork skills, Buneary was able to avoid the ice shards, but Meditite used Confusion one more time to lift Buneary into the air then toss it down to the ground. By extending its rolled-up ears, Buneary softened the impact before using Bounce. Meditite then used Drain Punch and the two Pokémon clashed in mid-air, causing an explosion and rendering Buneary [[Fainting|unable to continue battling]].

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Buneary was used in the Battle Round of the [[Wallace Cup]]. It battled against a {{p|Wailmer}} and won, allowing Dawn to advance in the competition.

[[File:Hearthome Collection Dawn.png|thumb|220px|With Dawn at the Hearthome Collection]]
In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', Dawn and Buneary were invited by [[Paris]] to register for the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion event where [[Pokémon Stylist]]s show off their Pokémon's best looks. Dawn initially had trouble picking a design for herself and Buneary, but after remembering what [[Hermione]] had told her earlier about Poké Stylists and Coordinators being one and the same, as well as [[Zoey]]'s advice to focus on showcasing the Pokémon as they are always the main attraction, she got inspired and began designing again. The next day, Dawn and Buneary were seen wearing simple snow-themed outfits for the competition. During its performance, Buneary used its Ice Beam attack to create several ice pillars before displaying its jumping ability to the judges. This secured it a spot among the three finalists, along with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Cocoa]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. After {{TRT}} interrupted the competition with their usual antics, Buneary used Bounce together with Paris's {{p|Lopunny}} to destroy their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] and send them blasting off. Paris later announced Dawn and Buneary as the winners of the Hearthome Collection, congratulating Dawn for using simple accessories to show off Buneary.

Buneary was Dawn's choice for the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]] of the {{to|Celestic}} Contest in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''. She was sent out with a [[Seal|Party Seal]] and used Bounce to start its performance, jumping up high then spinning in the air. It proceeded with Ice Beam to freeze the stage and create a slide of ice so she could skate on it. After skating across the icy stage for a while, she used Dizzy Punch, allowing it to skate on her ears. However, she lost control of its rapid spinning movements and ended up flying across the hall. Seeing this, Dawn rushed to catch Buneary then told it to smile and pose as a way to make up for their mistake. The performance was praised by the judges, with [[Raoul Contesta]] saying it showed off how cute Buneary can be and [[Nurse Joy]] commenting how much fun Buneary seemed to be having. As a result, Dawn was allowed to move on to the second round Contest Battles.

In ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Phione}} [[AkebiShipping|fell in love]] with Buneary. It became jealous of Pikachu and challenged him to a battle, but Buneary decided to fight instead. During the battle, Phione was able to take advantage of the proximity to the sea and confuse Buneary, but it eventually knocked it out with its Bounce attack. Upon seeing Phione leaving feeling down, Buneary said something to cheer it up, putting a smile on its face.

In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Buneary was used in the Appeals Round of the {{to|Chocovine}} Contest. Its performance, which consisted in creating an ice sculpture to slide on, impressed the judges enough for them to grant Dawn a place in the second round.

When Dawn sent out Buneary in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', Buneary's cuteness attracted attention from a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Shelter Town]] [[Pokémon Center]]. The Trainer, named [[Marilyn]], approached Dawn and asked her for a battle. Dawn accepted the challenge and used Buneary to battle Marilyn's {{p|Cherubi}}. As Marilyn wanted to appreciate Cherubi's cute appearance a little longer, Dawn was the first to make a move, commanding Buneary to use Dizzy Punch. Despite being hit multiple times, Cherubi did not counterattack and so Buneary used Ice Beam. This time, Cherubi used {{m|Protect}} to defend itself but acted as if it was taking damage from the attack. Upon seeing this, {{an|Brock}} interrupted the battle and gave Marilyn a lecture before telling her she would be disqualified if she refused to battle properly. After that, Cherubi fought back by using {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Buneary tried to evade the attack but ended up getting hit. Before Buneary could react, Cherubi used {{m|Tackle}} and then {{m|Solar Beam}}, knocking Buneary out.

[[File:Piplup Buneary Daybreak Contest.png|thumb|left|250px|At the Daybreak Contest with Piplup]]
In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Buneary teamed up with Piplup to perform at the [[Daybreak Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], which was being held under the [[Double Performance]] rule. Piplup used Bubble Beam to start things off and Buneary followed with an Ice Beam, freezing the bubbles that were floating around the [[Contest Hall|arena]]. After that, it used Bounce to leap in the frozen bubbles, displaying its footwork and receiving compliments from [[Marian]] for doing so. It then used a variation of the technique it perfected in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' and Piplup did the same while simultaneously using his Peck attack. The two of them finished the performance by popping up the bubbles and sending a shower of sparkles down to the crowd. Their performance received positive reviews from [[Raoul Contesta|the]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]] and allowed Dawn to advance to the Battle Stage.

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', Buneary was called out to help Dawn perfect her newest [[Contest combination]], the Ice Chandelier. It used its Ice Beam to trap {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a ball of ice and Pachirisu used its {{m|Discharge}} to make the ice shine brightly. This combination was later used by Pachirisu and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the [[Grand Festival]].

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', Buneary was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Both of them were sent out with [[Seal|Line Seals]] and Buneary used Ice Beam to create a large frozen path resembling a roller coaster. Cyndaquil proceeded with {{m|Flame Wheel}}, rolling over the path and melting a trench for Buneary to slide on. After that, Buneary charged an Ice Beam and Cyndaquil used {{m|Smokescreen}} in order to cloak themselves above a large frozen spike. When the smoke was blown away, Buneary was seen inside a [[Poké Ball]] made of ice with Cyndaquil standing on top, impressing the judges and securing Dawn a place among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s. It was later used in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', where it battled along with Cyndaquil against [[Jessie|Jessilina]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the semifinals of the competition. Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance Dawn to the final round.

It was revealed in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' that Buneary had been chosen by [[Hermione]] to be a model of the Poké Chic magazine. As a result, Dawn decided to remain in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] while {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} returned to [[Kanto]].

In [[SS024]], it was used to help fight off the {{p|Ariados}} that were attacking Dawn and [[Shinko]]. It was caught in {{m|String Shot}} and couldn't do anything until Cyndaquil [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}} and saved it.

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', Buneary was introduced to {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}'s Pokémon. Upon seeing Pikachu, it quickly embraced him, much to {{AP|Oshawott}}'s disappointment.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Buneary cheering.png|thumb|220px|Buneary cheering]]
Buneary often displays traditional feminine traits similar to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It enjoys dressing up in beautiful outfits and showing off in them, particularly to {{AP|Pikachu}}. It began wearing a vest with a heart on it in ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', which was designed by {{an|Dawn}} and sewed by [[Johanna]]. It appears to be very proud of its vest and, for the most part, only takes it off to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

Buneary has been shown to be a helpful Pokémon. For instance, in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', it took off her vest to give to {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} when the {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} was {{pkmn|illness|sick}} from storing too much electricity. It also used Ice Beam to make an ice pack for Pachirisu in order to bring its fever down.

[[File:Buneary and Pikachu.png|thumb|left|220px|Buneary's affection towards Pikachu]]
Buneary [[LagomorphShipping|developed a crush]] on Pikachu after it spotted him grabbing a potato that [[Brock's Croagunk]] had tossed in the air. It is shown to be sensitive whenever Pikachu gets frustrated with its acts of affection at times that don't call for it. When around Pikachu, it gets flustered and hides its face in its fur. However, it is always cheering for Pikachu when he participates in [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s and, when not being used herself, for Dawn during Contests.

Buneary has shown time after time that it was meant to compete in Contests, using its moves in unique ways that make it more noticeable such as making an ice slide from {{m|Ice Beam}} as an [[appeal]]. Commonly it combines Ice Beam with spinning and sliding actions when performing in a Contest.

Despite her size, Buneary is very powerful and was able to tire out [[Maylene]]'s {{p|Meditite}} enough so that {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} could defeat it. Its Ice Beam, which appears to be its main attack, is powerful enough to freeze an entire lake.

Upon its return in [[Unova]] with Dawn and the others, after becoming embraced with Pikachu, it was shown to be quite shy, hiding behind {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} when everybody was introducing each other's Pokémon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn and Buneary.png|thumb|220px|Dawn and Buneary]]
* For [[DP018]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Dawn's Buneary. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about her: 「ミミロルが　みみをまるめて　みみロール」 ''"{{tt|Mimirol|Buneary}}, rolling up its ears, ear-roll."''
* Buneary is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to be seen wearing clothing on a regular basis.
* Buneary hasn't learned any new [[move]]s since Dawn {{pkmn2|caught}} her, similar to [[Brock's Croagunk]].
* Every one of Buneary's moves are capable of causing [[status condition]]s.
* Much like [[May's Munchlax]], Buneary is Dawn's only Pokémon that didn't defeat another {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Pokémon in the final round of a [[Pokémon Contest]]. This doesn't count {{AP|Buizel}}, who didn't participate in any Pokémon Contests under Dawn's care.
* Buneary is Dawn's only {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that did not previously belong to another {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the only one without its gender confirmed.
* If {{p|Phione}} were to be considered a [[Mythical Pokémon]] due to the [[Phione (Pokémon)#Mythical status|dispute]] going on with it, then it would mean that Buneary is the first Pokémon in the series to defeat a Mythical Pokémon.

==Blurb==

In Anistar City, where Serena is rehearsing for the next Pokémon Showcase, our heroes get a nice surprise when their friends Tierno and Shauna arrive with newly evolved Pokémon! Serena’s new friend Eevee is skittish and shy in the presence of so many others, and she suggests a Tag Battle so Eevee can gain some experience and confidence.

The matchup features Ash and Tierno versus Serena and Shauna! When Tierno and his Blastoise go into their usual battle dance, Eevee starts toe-tapping right along with them, and soon it’s leaping and whirling faster than Blastoise can follow! It gets one good hit in with Swift as Serena watches, starry-eyed...and then she asks everyone to put the battle on hold so her team can rehearse a new performance idea!

Ash and Tierno happily continue the battle on their own as Serena and Shauna go off to practice—because the next morning, it’s time to register for the Showcase!

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{an|Serena}}, {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}, and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} rehearsing for their upcoming [[Pokémon Showcase]] in [[Anistar City]], with {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}, and Serena's [[XY089|newly caught]] {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} watching from the side of the battlefield at the Anistar [[Pokémon Center]]. Although the group applaud Serena and compliment her on her performance, Serena assures them that she needs more practice. She tells Eevee to watch their performance closely so that she can participate in the next Showcase and thanks Bunnelby for its help taking care of Eevee.

After {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} makes a sudden appearance and tries to chase an intimidated Eevee, {{an|Tierno}} arrives with his {{TP|Tierno|Blastoise}} and greets everyone. As Bonnie plays with Blastoise, Ash and {{ashfr}} are surprised when {{an|Shauna}} and her {{TP|Shauna|Ivysaur}} turn up as well. Shauna, who has also come to participate in the Anistar Showcase, is greeted enthusiastically by Serena. Although Eevee is frightened by the presence of strangers, Serena gently reassures her new Pokémon and introduces her to Shauna. After Shauna expounds on Serena's [[Eeveelution|wide range of performance opportunities for Eevee]], everyone heads inside for some food and Tierno explains that although {{an|Trevor}} was supposed to meet up with everyone as well, he found a new Pokémon that he had yet to take a photograph of. Tierno then reveals, much to everyone's surprise, that he already challenged the [[Anistar Gym]] but failed to earn a [[Badge]] there.

Meanwhile, Bunnelby is still staying close to Eevee in order to help her feel more comfortable with her new friends. After witnessing Bunnelby give Eevee a [[Poké Puff]], Chespin nervously approaches with a Poké Puff of its own and offers it to Eevee, but she is still afraid of Chespin and refuses to take it. While she comforts Eevee, Serena tells Shauna and Tierno about Eevee's gift for dancing, but Shauna points out that in a well-attended event like a Showcase, Eevee is liable to get extremely nervous on stage. To help Eevee adjust to traveling with Serena, several of Ash's and Clemont's Pokémon stand in a line to be introduced to Eevee one by one. Eevee successfully makes a small connection each with {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, {{AP|Frogadier}}, and Pikachu, but Chespin is unable to maintain composure as Eevee approaches it and accidentally frightens her away again. Later, Serena reassures Eevee and learns that Eevee very much wants to perform with her new Trainer, but has trouble building up the confidence to do so.

After {{an|Aria}}, the Kalos Queen, appears on television, Serena recalls [[XY064|the time she met Aria]] and the advice she had been given. Her memory of that day inspires her to challenge Shauna, Tierno, and Ash to a tag battle in order to help build Eevee's confidence. Everyone gathers outside at the battlefield again, preparing for battle - Ash's Pikachu and Tierno's Blastoise against Shauna's Ivysaur and Serena's Eevee. Pikachu and Ivysaur use {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, respectively, and the moves cancel each other out in midair. Blastoise then enters the fray with a {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, which is deflected by Eevee's quick use of {{m|Protect}}. After Blastoise dodges a {{m|Razor Leaf}} from Ivysaur, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and aims at Eevee. Eevee, who is frightened by Pikachu's attack, trips over her feet and is unable to dodge the powerful move, but is saved by Ivysaur's timely intervention. Serena, Bonnie, and the Pokémon watching the battle all cheer Eevee on, and Eevee begins to feel more reassured as she gets ready to continue the battle. Tierno and Blastoise start their rhythmic dancing, and Eevee easily dodges Blastoise's carefully timed {{m|Water Gun}} and begins dancing herself, effectively confusing Blastoise. At this, Pikachu and Ivysaur jump back into the battle with moves of their own as Eevee lands a powerful {{m|Swift}} attack on Blastoise.

Suddenly, however, Serena asks to stop the battle. Watching Eevee battle Blastoise has given her a new idea for a performance, and she wants to start training right away. She and her Pokémon head to another area to rehearse, and Shauna decides to do the same while Ash and Tierno begin a one-on-one battle against each other instead. Meanwhile, Serena asks Eevee to teach her, Braixen, and Pancham how to dance for the upcoming Showcase, and Eevee agrees. The next morning, everyone is running late and races to the Pokémon Showcase so Serena and Shauna can sign up before registration closes.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Serena V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode]]
* In the Japanese version, the title card segment focuses on, and is read by, {{an|Serena}}.
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Raichu}}
* {{an|Serena}} narrates the preview of the [[XY091|next episode]].
* [[Serena's Braixen]], {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} remain outside of their {{ball|Poké}}s throughout the episode.
* {{an|Shauna}} seems to be aware of Serena's [[AmourShipping|crush]] on {{Ash}}.
* ''[[DreamDream]]'' is used as an insert song during the end of the [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]].
* This episode's English dub title is listed on most TV guides as well as on the Pokémon website as ''Tag Team Inspiration!'' without the word "Battle".
* This is the only episode of the XY Series, to have {{Ash}} on the bottom half of the VS Screen.

===Errors===
* When Serena is showing {{an|Shauna}} and {{TP|Shauna|Ivysaur}} her Eevee, the insides of Ivysaur's ear is colored dark green rather than black. This error repeats again when Shauna orders it to use {{m|Energy Ball}}.
* When Serena tells Eevee to befriend with Pikachu, Frogadier, Dedenne, and Chespin, Chespin's teeth are missing when it opens its mouth.
* In one scene, Dedenne's tooth is missing.
* When Blastoise is dancing with Eevee, its lower jaw is incorrectly colored blue rather than cream.
* When Serena, Pancham, Braixen, and Eevee went upstairs, Pikachu's brown spot on his tail is missing. This occurred again when Ash is chatting with Tierno.
* When the gang is running at the end of the episode, Serena has her bag on when she comes out of the door. However, when it shows her closeup, her bag is missing. Then, it reappears in the last shot.
* In the dub, after Ivysaur gets hit by Pikachu's Iron Tail and Shauna asks it if it's alright, Ivysaur's mouth moves but no sound comes out.

==Blurb==

As our heroes make their way up a rocky hill, an unconscious Goomy falls out of the sky, right onto Ash's head! Clemont figures out that Goomy isn't feeling well because it's dehydrated, so Ash braves a steep climb to get it to the nearby river. But as soon as it's restored to health, Team Rocket swoops in to grab Pikachu, and Goomy ends up in their cage as well!

While Jessie, James, and Meowth are celebrating their latest catch, the two Pokémon are working together, combining Pikachu's strength and Goomy's slime to escape the cage and flee. When they reunite with Ash and the others, Team Rocket is close behind!

The villains seem to have the upper hand until Goomy steps in front of its new friends and uses Bide, absorbing Team Rocket's attacks and then blasting them off with their own power. Ash admires Goomy's unexpected strength, and the little Dragon-type Pokémon happily joins him for the journey to Coumarine City!

==Plot==
As the episode begins, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are traveling up a mountain, and {{an|Serena}} shows great excitement about going to the [[Coumarine City]] Pokémon Showcase, running up the slope with joy. However, she quickly grows tired and claims she is ready to fall asleep any moment, to which {{an|Clemont}} agrees. However, {{an|Bonnie}} tells them that the slope will soon end, much to their pleasure. While the group is going up the mountain, the group notices a {{p|Swanna}} flying in the sky. However, as it flies above Ash, it drops something on top of his head.

Ash pulls the object off his head, noting how slimy the thing is. It is revealed to be a {{p|Goomy}}, which is considered to be the weakest {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Ash remarks on how it doesn't look like a Dragon-type at all. However, the Goomy appears to be extremely weak and flattened. After Clemont reveals that Goomy is mostly made up of water, Serena takes out a bottle from her bag and pours water onto it. Goomy then awakens weakly and sees Ash and crew. They then ponder on how to help the Goomy, and Ash notices a river downhill. He decides to take the Goomy down there. He then walks down the slope, but it is so rough that Ash runs down quickly and uncontrollably. Though he is able to dodge most obstacles, he trips over a rock, causing Goomy to be thrown into the air. However, he grabs it in time, only to crash into the river. Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie then join him.

Goomy is bathing in the river and regaining its energy. Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena all pour some water onto it, and Goomy is restored to full health and is happy with Ash. Bonnie is happy that Goomy is feeling much better, and soon {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} pops out of her bag. However, Goomy becomes scared of Dedenne, and it runs to Ash for cover. Clemont theorizes that because the Dragon type is weak against the {{t|Fairy}} type, Goomy is scared of Dedenne. Bonnie then calls Goomy weird for being scared of a cute Dedenne. Goomy, offended by her remark, hits her legs with its horns, but this only tickles Bonnie. Goomy soon falters to the repeated hitting, however. Serena then suggests that the remark must have insulted Goomy, and Goomy happily approaches Serena's ear and chews it, which suggests that she must have been right. However, Serena remarks on how Goomy feels somewhat gross and slimy, causing Goomy to fall back into the river. It then uses {{m|Rain Dance}} on Serena in its displeasure, causing a cloud to rain only on Serena. She quickly apologizes for offending it, and Goomy stops the rain. However, it soon quickly becomes upset once more. Ash asks what's wrong, and Bonnie remarks on how it looks just like Ash when he's hungry. Ash then asks Goomy if it wants something to eat, and it approves, then leaving to find some food.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is spying on Ash and his friends. When they ponder on whether they should catch Goomy, they decide that a weak Pokémon would be completely worthless, and they should stick to capturing {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Back to Ash and his friends, they watch Goomy eating leaves from a bush, clearly enjoying its meal. {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} suddenly pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] and uses {{m|Pin Missile}} to drop down some apples from the tree. However, an angry {{p|Ariados}} appears and attacks Chespin, causing Goomy to hide in fear behind Pikachu. Pikachu fights the Ariados off, and Clemont and Chespin apologize, telling Ariados they meant no harm. Ariados then leaves, while Goomy is visibly scared. Ash then tells Goomy it's all over, but it is still extremely terrified, shivering with fear while a large amount of water leaks from its body. Ash asks it what is wrong, and Goomy tries to tell Ash something. Clemont then devises a large device that can scan images in a Pokémon's brain and visualize them, calling it the "Pokémon Translator Mark 2."

As he scans Goomy, the screen reveals a land filled with {{p|Gulpin}} and {{p|Wooper}}. It then shifts over to a red screen where swarms of {{p|Yanmega}}, {{p|Ariados}}, and {{p|Pinsir}} are attacking Goomy's homeland, then over to a flock of Swanna flying. The machine, however, then ceases to work. Clemont hits it three times, but the machine self-destructs, to which Bonnie remarks she is not surprised.

Clemont theorizes from the video that Goomy was caught in a large Pokémon skirmish and fled. Goomy chews Clemont's ear in approval, and soon enough Serena's as well when she states that it must be the reason for Goomy's fear of Ariados. It then speaks to Pikachu, but their conversation is incomprehensible to Ash and his friends.

Suddenly, a device falls from the sky, entrapping Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie in an electronic rope. It turns out that the culprit was Team Rocket, who proceeds with their {{motto}} while floating on their {{p|Meowth}} balloon. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the mecha Team Rocket is using easily absorbs it. It then turns into a cage, trapping Pikachu and Goomy. Team Rocket escapes on their balloon, with Pikachu and Goomy in tow. Ash sends out {{AP|Frogadier}} to cut the rope surrounding them and {{AP|Fletchinder}} to search for Team Rocket.

Team Rocket watches in glee as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the cage repeatedly. Just then, they notice that they've taken Goomy as well, and figure there's no harm in taking another Pokémon. They decide to celebrate their new captures. With the cage nearby yet out of sight, Team Rocket has a picnic in the forest and goofs off among themselves.

Meanwhile, Pikachu continues trying to use Thunderbolt on the cage, but it remains unsuccessful. Next, Pikachu turns to hitting the cage in the same spot with his head. Pikachu successfully opens the cage up a bit, and manages to push Goomy out of the hole. However, Pikachu then finds himself unable to get out through the hole. Goomy then reenters the cage and slides itself all over Pikachu, causing Pikachu to have a shiny glow. Before they can leave the cage, however, Team Rocket approaches them, having heard a loud clang. They ask if Pikachu and Goomy have been trying to escape, and the two Pokémon just cover the enlarged hole, smiling innocently. {{MTR}} wonders if Pikachu has always been this glossy, so Pikachu and Goomy try to mask it off as extreme sweat. Team Rocket assumes that it was nothing, and resumes their party. Once Team Rocket is out of sight, Goomy and Pikachu successfully escape the cage and run off quietly.

Team Rocket remarks on how glossy Pikachu was, and Meowth thinks about how Pikachu's sweat would work in a magic trick. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] happily agree, suggesting one example to be slipping through cage bars. They soon realize that the Pokémon probably escaped, and quickly run back to the cage. They find Pikachu running away while carrying Goomy on his back. James runs after them, while the others decide to use the Meowth balloon. Fletchinder finds James running after Pikachu and Goomy, and leads the way for Ash and his friends.

James quickly catches up to Pikachu and Goomy, but before he can reach them, Goomy uses Rain Dance above James's head, causing him to slip and roll over. The others on the Meowth balloon catch up to James, and he climbs onto the balloon. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} and commands it to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Ash uses his body to block the attack from hitting Pikachu and Goomy. The rest of his friends catch up, but Team Rocket traps them in a rope again, barely missing Ash. Team Rocket takes out the same electricity-absorbing mecha from before, and Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} on it, successfully breaking it.

James then sends out his {{TP|James|Inkay}} and has it use {{m|Tackle}} while Jessie's Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball. Ash's Fletchinder counters with {{m|Peck}} and Pikachu counters with {{m|Electro Ball}}. However, when Inkay uses {{m|Psybeam}} on Pikachu and Fletchinder, the attack manages to {{status|Confusion|confuse}} both Pokémon. With both Pokémon unable to attack properly, Goomy decides to step in. Pumpkaboo uses {{m|Dark Pulse}} while Inkay uses Psybeam, but before the attacks can hit Ash, Goomy steps out in front of him and endures the attacks. When Jessie and James command their Pokémon to attack again, Goomy endures the attacks once more. Goomy then attacks back with {{m|Bide}}, and just then, Pikachu and Fletchinder snap out of their confusion. Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball, but Pikachu prevents it by using Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Later, Ash compliments Goomy, stating that it was definitely strong with the power of its Bide attack. Goomy blushes, and Dedenne cheers in agreement with Ash. However, Goomy still appears to be scared of Dedenne and hides behind Pikachu while shivering in fear. Clemont suggests that there is probably a deeper reason for Goomy's fear.

Pikachu and Goomy talk to each other, and Pikachu excitedly tries to tell Ash something. Ash asks Goomy if it wants to become strong like Pikachu, to which Goomy jumps up onto Ash's shoulder and rubs against Ash's head in agreement. Ash then uses his Poké Ball and successfully captures Goomy. He proceeds to send out his newly-captured {{AP|Goomy}}, and he and his friends all welcome Goomy to the group.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Aurorus}}
* [[Mad-Paced Getter]] replaced [[V (Volt)#Opening animation: Version 2 (XY029 - current)|Mega V]] as the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese opening theme]].
* {{an|Bonnie}}, [[Clemont's Dedenne]] and {{MTR}} narrate the preview for the [[XY056|next episode]].
** Just like in ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', at the end of the preview, Bonnie says "Everyone, keep Pokémon!" instead of Ash saying his "Everyone, get Pokémon!" phrase.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Yanmega}} in the main series anime other than [[Jessie's Yanmega|the one]] that belongs to [[Jessie]].
* {{MTR}} mentions writers in this episode, thus [[breaking the fourth wall]].
* Music from ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'' is used in this episode.

===Errors===
* In one scene, the colors of {{p|Pinsir}}'s mouth are inverted (ie. white innards with black teeth).
* When {{Ash}} protected Pikachu and Goomy from {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s {{m|Shadow Ball}}, [[James's Inkay]] was seen, even though he didn't send it out.
* Goomy's {{m|Bide}} damaged Pumpkaboo despite {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon being immune to {{type|Normal}} moves.
* In the dub, when Pikachu, along with Fletchinder got hit by Inkay's Psybeam, his mouth opens, but no sound comes out.
* In the dub, the Pokédex refers to Goomy as Gooey, when it mentions it being the weakest Dragon type Pokémon.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when Ash is running down the hill towards the lake with Goomy in his hands, his English voice can faintly be heard.

===Dub edits===
* The off-screen dialogue of Meowth imitating Giovanni while Jessie and James praise him was not present in the original version.
* For some reason, the scene with Meowth and Jessie's goofy face was omitted in the Polish dub.
