'''Professor Cerise's Yamper''' (Japanese: '''サクラギ博士のワンパチ''' ''Dr. Sakuragi's Wanpachi'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Professor Cerise]]. Yamper is especially fond of Cerise's daughter, [[Chloe]], and is often seen with her when she is home or at the [[Cerise Laboratory]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', [[Professor Cerise]] received Yamper from a friend in the [[Galar]] [[region]], and he soon became a family pet. Yamper arrived before [[Parker]] was born and [[Chloe]] was only a young child at the time. Chloe became jealous thinking her parents were giving Yamper more attention than her. At one point, Chloe told Yamper that she wished he would go away. Yamper disappeared after this and Chloe went looking for him at a local park, only to be frightened by a group of approaching {{p|Venonat}}. Yamper appeared and scared them off, quickly forming a particularly strong [[friendship]] with Chloe.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Chloe and Yamper.png|thumb|left|250px|Yamper and Chloe]]
Yamper first appeared in ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', where he was waiting in front of the [[Cerise Laboratory]] to greet his Trainer on her way back from school, but was met with {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} instead. Yamper gave the overly-curious Ash a jolt, but greeted Pikachu amicably with a lick on his cheek before seeing his Trainer, confused by the scene, and following her the Laboratory.

In ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', while waiting for Chloe to return from school, the Cerise Laboratory was invaded by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Gengar}}. Yamper immediately sensed Gengar and tried to attack it, but bounced right off it, revealing its presence to Ash, Pikachu, [[Goh]], and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}. He later helped the boys search for the intruder, using his nose to sniff Gengar out, but their attempts to stop it were ultimately unsuccessful. Shortly after Gengar's escape, Chloe returned to the Laboratory, and Yamper immediately stopped what he was doing to come to the lobby and greet her.

Unbeknownst to Chloe, however, the Gengar had appeared behind her and launched an {{m|Shadow Ball}} at her, which Yamper quickly intercepted, to her shock. Chloe scooped Yamper in her arms and tried to escape, but Gengar prevented her from escaping, and used its {{m|Psychic}} powers to keep Ash and the others from interfering. Regaining consciousness, Yamper struggled out of Chloe's arms and got ready to battle once more. [[Professor Cerise]], who had just arrived on the scene, commanded Yamper to use {{m|Spark}}, but Yamper did not receive the command. [[Ren]] and [[Chrysa]] realized that Yamper couldn't hear the Professor because he was single-handedly focused on protecting Chloe, prompting Cerise to tell his daughter to give Yamper the command. Chloe, who had never {{pkmn|battle}}d before, hesitated, but soon told Yamper to use Spark, with the resulting attack sending the {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon flying out of the research facility.
[[File:Suicune and Yamper.png|thumb|250px|Yamper and Suicune]]
In ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', Yamper found a {{p|Pidove}} that had an injured wing and brought it to the house. Chloe and Parker helped it to recover, causing Yamper to become jealous of the attention that Chloe was giving Pidove. Over the two days, Yamper became increasingly annoyed by Pidove, who insisted on riding on his back. Later, a {{p|Fearow}} began to attack Pidove and Yamper protected it, attacking it with Spark while under Chloe's command. Pidove was later returned to its rightful Trainer, with Yamper seeing his new friend off.

In [[JN107]], Yamper accompanied Chloe, Goh, Ash, and their partners in investigating a water population at Cerise park, as the group found out that [[Goh's Grimer]] caused it when it gave its home to the parks newcomer {{TP|Goh|Froakie}}. Yamper then helped the group make a new home for Grimer to live in at the park. After {{TP|Goh|Suicune}} came to purify the water, Yamper was acknowledged by the Legendary Pokémon for its efforts in keeping the piece at the park.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Yamper and Eevee.png|thumb|left|250px|Yamper and Eevee]]
Yamper is normally a friendly Pokémon and appears to feel most comfortable around Chloe, being seen napping belly-up right next to her. Out of the Cerise household, Yamper likes Chloe the most, despite her, at times, distant attitude towards him, and according to her little brother [[Parker]], he only accepts {{pkmn|food}} from her. Yamper is very protective of Chloe and is quick to throw himself at anything that he sees as a threat to her, despite his small size. In ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', he was even ready to fight a {{p|Lugia}} in order to keep her safe, before it was revealed to be a trap set by {{TRT}}. In contrast, Yamper seems mostly indifferent towards his actual Trainer, to the point where his family joked that Yamper liked him the least. In ''[[JN057|Memories of a Warming Kindness!]]'', Yamper was shown wanting to go with Chloe for a sleepover when Parker asked him to go with him. Yamper only gave in when Chloe asked him to go with her brother.

Yamper appears to dislike being smothered with affection or having his personal space invaded. In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', he shocked Ash, who had never seen a Yamper and chased him down to examine him out of his curiosity. This first encounter initially left Yamper with a bad impression of Ash, as later in the episode, he was seen barking angrily at the exhausted Ash after he returned to the Laboratory with [[Goh]]. However, Yamper appears to have warmed up to Ash, being less hostile to him. He also seems to dislike strangers, growling and barking at Goh's newfound partner, {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}, in ''[[JN005|Mind-Boggling Dynamax!]]''. Conversely, he got along with {{AP|Pikachu}} immediately, giving him a friendly greeting after shocking Ash and later playing with him while Chloe scolded Goh in the same episode.

Yamper tends to get jealous, as seen in ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'' when Chloe started paying more attention to a {{p|Pidove}} that Yamper had found injured. Despite this, Yamper protected the Pidove from an attacking wild {{p|Fearow}}. Ever since Chloe caught her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}, Yamper has shown to get along really well with her, often playing and interacting with her.

As shown in [[JN107]], Yamper tends to patrol Cerise Park and solve any problems the Pokémon living there might have, sometimes fetching another Pokémon helping to fix said problem.

'''Chloe's Eevee''' (Japanese: '''コハルのイーブイ''' ''Koharu's Eievui'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Chloe]], and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] she {{pkmn2|caught}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Dawn Goh Piplup Scorbunny Eggs.png|thumb|left|250px|Eevee's Egg (on the left)]]
{{p|Eevee}} first appeared in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]'', where she was seen at the [[Vermilion City]] [[Eevee Evolution Lab]]. She attempted to get along with {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} by imitating them as they walked along but failed. Later the lab assistants attempted to use a [[Fire Stone|Fire]] and a [[Thunder Stone]] to make her [[Evolution|evolve]], but that was unsuccessful. Later, Eevee spotted {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}} walking past the Research Center and went after him. Shortly after, the lab assistants went to get Eevee back and Yamper mistakenly thought they were trying to capture Eevee, so he took her to [[Chloe]]'s school for help.

Chloe found Yamper and Eevee and helped hide her from the lab assistants with help from [[Goh]], only to come across {{TRT}} who had stolen other Pokémon at the school. Eevee teamed up with Yamper to fight Team Rocket's {{OBP|Pelipper|Team Rocket}} and was able to send them blasting off. Later, the mix up was cleared and the lab assistants were taking Eevee back to the Laboratory when Eevee decided she wanted to stay with Chloe. Goh gave Chloe one of his {{i|Poké Ball}}s which she used to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} her. Soon after, [[Professor Cerise]] gave Chloe a [[Rotom Phone]].

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', Eevee went with Chloe to the [[Galar]] [[region]], arriving there Eevee starts playing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, when she bumped into a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Boldore}}, the {{type|Rock}} Pokémon went on rampage attacking her. Goh then uses {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} to defeat and catch it. Eevee later helped Chloe to search and dug up some [[fossil]]s. When a newly awakened {{p|Arctozolt}} begun to go into a rage, Eevee saved Chloe from an {{m|Icy Wind}} attack. At the end of her trip with Chloe, Eevee was seen in her room and ended up falling asleep while Chloe wrote a report about the day she had with {{Ash}} and Goh.
[[File:Chloe and Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Eevee and Chloe]]
In ''[[JN055|The Tale of You and Glimwood Tangle!]]'', Eevee accompanied Chloe back to Galar, where they encountered an {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Rapidash}} that was injured. With helped from a Galarian {{p|Ponyta}}, they went in search of a flower that would help to heal it, only to run into a trio of {{p|Impidimp}} who stole Chloe's backpack. Eevee fought to get it back, eventually getting into a fight with [[Bluk Berry|Bluk Berries]]. When the Impidimp returned the backpack, they found the flower and Eevee teamed up with Ponyta to heal Rapidash.

In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', Chloe entered Eevee in the [[Marine Athletic Race|Kids Marine Athletic Race]]. As they neared the finish line, Eevee spotted [[Goh's Dewgong]] battling a {{p|Huntail}} and went over to it, causing them and Chloe to be trapped in a cave by the Huntail. With Ash and Goh's help, they were rescued, after which Eevee proceeded to help [[Kiley]]'s {{p|Vaporeon}} to defeat the Huntail. Later, Kiley gave Chloe a [[Water Stone]], but Eevee decided not to use it yet.
[[File:Dawn and Chloe battling.png|thumb|left|250px|Eevee and Chloe joining forces with Piplup and Dawn]]
In ''[[JN069|Errand Endurance!]]'', Chloe and Goh got into an argument about whether Eevee or {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} was better. Ash suggested they should solve the argument by having Grookey and Eevee deliver supplements to the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. During the errand, Eevee proved to be more responsible than Grookey, making sure they could cross a road safely and picking up the supplements dropped by Grookey. Eventually, Eevee was the first Pokémon back at the laboratory.

In ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', Eevee traveled with Chloe to Sinnoh. During the trip, Eevee showed a bit of interest in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, which led to Chloe deciding to head to [[Eterna City]]. Along the way, Eevee and Chloe decided to camp out in a forest and ended up meeting {{an|Dawn}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Overnight, Eevee ended up quickly befriending the Penguin Pokémon. The next day, in the middle of an argument between Dawn and Chloe, a wild {{p|Rhydon}} appeared on their path and attacked them. During the battle, Eevee managed to defeat Rhydon after copying Piplup's {{m|Bubble Beam}}.
[[File:Chloe Eevee JN105 contest.png|thumb|250px|Eevee in her first Contest]]
In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Eevee was reverted into an {{pkmn|Egg}} as a result of a clash between {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} distorting time. After {{p|Arceus}} stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the {{pkmn|category|Temporal and Spatial Pokémon}} repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal.

In [[JN105]], Chloe and Eevee visited [[Lilycove City]] in the hopes of meeting a {{p|Sylveon}}, only to be scouted by [[Lisia]] to appear in a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]. After some encouragment from {{an|Serena}} and her {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}}, Chloe and Eevee entered into a {{OBP|Rank|Contest|Normal Rank}} Contest Spectacular, where Eevee used a combination of {{m|Copycat}}, Sylveon's {{m|Fairy Wind}}, and {{m|Tackle}}, and was well received.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Yamper and Eevee.png|thumb|250px|left|Eevee and {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}}]]
[[File:Serena Sylveon and Chloe Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Eevee with [[Serena's Sylveon]]]]
Eevee is playful and has the habit of imitating the movement of other Pokémon as well as her Trainer, Chloe. This can sometime get her into trouble, like in her [[JN049|debut episode]], where she ended up wandering away from her home while trying to imitate {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}}. In ''[[JN057|Memories of a Warming Kindness!]]'', she was not frightened by [[Ash's Gengar]]'s antics, instead imitating it and acting like it was a kind of game, which took Gengar by surprise.

Eevee is incapable of [[evolution|evolving]] for an unknown reason. When the [[Pinery|head]] of the [[Eevee Evolution Lab]] suggested Eevee was hesitant about the important decision, Chloe appeared to empathize with her. However, Eevee has taken an interest in all of her evolved forms and befriended them, especially [[Serena's Sylveon]]. She also became friends with {{an|Lana}}'s Eevee, [[Sandy]]. In addition, Eevee has shown to be very good friends with Yamper, as they often interact and play together.

Eevee shares a close bond with Chloe, as she would often be held in her arms, although she would sometimes sit on her shoulders. Eevee has also shown an interest in [[Pokémon Contest]], as shown in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', when she heard there was going to be one held in [[Eterna City]] and decided that she wanted to see it. This was shown again in [[JN105]], when Eevee gets excited that she and Chloe were going to be participating in the Pokémon Contest Spectacular in [[Lilycove City]].

==Trivia==
* Eevee is the first female of her {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} with a visible [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Eevee's inability to evolve is likely a reference to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]'s {{ga|partner Pokémon}}, a titular Eevee who would not evolve.

==In the anime==
[[File:Drasna anime.png|thumb|250px|Drasna in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
Drasna first appeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw her on TV shortly after arriving in Kalos, finding out that she was his next [[World Coronation Series]] opponent. Later in the episode, she was seen having a brief battle with [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Castle of Chivalry]].

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Drasna and Ash faced each other at the [[Lumiose Conference]] stadium. She proved to be an extremely challenging opponent, but ultimately, Ash was able to defeat her, increasing his ranking. In this episode, it was revealed that {{an|Clemont}} had also battled her once and been easily defeated.

====Character====
Drasna has a very airy personality outside of battle. She is kind when referring to her opponents, offering them praise before and after a battle. Her gentle demeanor, however, drops just before and during battle, turning sickly sweet to the point where her opponents and peers are left slightly frightened. Even when irritated and frustrated, she still manages to maintain a smile, though there is a considerably less amount of warmth behind it at those times. Following her loss to Ash, she returns to her warm and amicable personality, offering Ash sincere praise, as well as becoming highly flattered at Bonnie's attempt to have her marry Clemont.

In battle, she utilizes her Pokémon's physical characteristics a great deal, such as Noivern's wings and Altaria's plumage to reduce damage. She combines such defensive strategies with powerful direct offense, enabling her to land multiple blows in quick succession to great effect.

'''Clemont''' (Japanese: '''シトロン''' ''Citron'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Lumiose Gym]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. He made his debut in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' along with his younger sister, {{an|Bonnie}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Young Clemont.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont in his youth]]
====Pre-series====
Prior to becoming a Gym Leader, Clemont used to study at an academy specializing in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in his youth, having been sent there by his father [[Meyer]]. His old teacher [[Éclairisse]] described him as a brilliant student, who was still a child when he graduated, as opposed to most other graduates, who were young adults or adults. Despite this, Clemont had trouble with the research for his graduation assignment. During a recreational stroll, he found an exhausted {{p|Shinx}}. Without hesitation, he immediately brought him to a [[Pokémon Center]] where he was quickly healed. [[Nurse Joy]] told him Electric-type Pokémon were often brought in, having lost a lot of energy. She figured they wouldn't suffer from electricity loss if there was a place where they could freely absorb energy. This gave Clemont the idea to build an invention he called the "Clemontic Shower". The idea was a success, being highly acclaimed by teachers, and caused Clemont to graduate.

Years later, after returning home, Clemont eventually became the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Lumiose Gym]] in order to understand Electric-type Pokémon even better. However, he found that being a Gym Leader ate into his spare time and gave him little time to spend with his beloved inventions, so he created [[Clembot]], a "Gym Leader robot", to stand in for him when he was busy. He programmed it to be tough on challengers and that its ideal opponent would have at least four Badges. However, this went wrong, as it caused Clembot to reject challengers with less than four Badges and instead of just being 'tough', Clembot turned violent and would shock Trainers whose challenge it rejected (or, as it later turned out, who lost to it) and eject them from the Gym. Clemont himself was deemed to be an undesired challenger as he had no badges. Clemont attempted to set Clembot to "Master Recognition mode" so he could reprogram it, but it hadn't registered the pass-code he expected it to, so he was ousted from the Gym and cut off from his Pokémon. He eventually gave up trying to reenter, as Clembot refused to allow him past the entrance.

As seen in ''[[XY088|A Trip Down Memory Train!]]'', Clemont spent most of his time afterward wandering around the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] brainstorming ways to take back his Gym. There a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} stole an apple Bonnie had offered to share with Clemont causing the siblings to chase him, and ultimately fall, into a series of abandoned subway tunnels underneath the city. After discovering that Bunnelby's intentions were good and the apple was to help feed his friends, Clemont saved Bunnelby when his group was attacked by a wild {{p|Diggersby}} - who was trying to take the abandoned subway car as its own. Using his Aipom Arm, Clemont managed to remove Bunnelby from the Digging Pokémon's reach and escape with him, Bonnie, and the rest of Bunnelby's friends.

After treating and helping Bunnelby overcome Diggersby, he used his [[Clemontic Gear]]'s Running Generator to power a Subway Car out of the Collapsing Tunnels, allowing him, Bonnie, Bunnelby, his friends, and the now good Diggersby to be free. Bunnelby, with the blessing of his friends, later joined Clemont's team as they left to return to Lumiose, causing Clemont to cry tears of joy.

In ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', Clemont revealed that he helped with the programming of the [[Kalos Power Plant]], which supplies electricity to Lumiose City.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:XY001.png|thumb|250px|Clemont and Bonnie first meeting Ash]]
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', he and his sister were standing outside the Prism Tower when they watched {{Ash}} go inside. After Clembot ejected Ash from the building for not having any Badges, Clemont saved Ash with his Clemontic Gear while Bonnie saved Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}. After introducing himself, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which he accepted. Clemont battled Ash and his Pikachu with Bunnelby. Despite admitting that he only just caught Bunnelby, Clemont proved to be an effective battler and managed to counter many of Ash's attacks.

The battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}, who were aiming at stealing Pikachu and Bunnelby. Together with Ash and a {{AP|Froakie}} that saved Pikachu from an attack, the trio was sent blasting off. However, Froakie had gotten injured in the battle and collapsed, so Clemont suggested they hurry to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s lab. Clemont lagged behind as he was forced to carry everyone's [[bag]]s.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Clemont helped Ash stop a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} by using his Clemontic Gear's Aipom Arm to break into Prism Tower. He was unable to go any further when a part of the Tower collapsed in front of him and Bonnie, but Ash managed to go on and save the day.

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Clemont and Bonnie officially decided to accompany Ash on his {{pkmn|journey}} through [[Kalos]]. Throughout the episode, Clemont expressed his admiration of Ash and respect for him as a Trainer. Later in the episode, Clemont demonstrated another one of his inventions, a phonograph that made a sound at high frequencies to attract bird Pokémon. Unfortunately, the machine only attracted {{p|Beedrill}} before completely exploding. Though it caused the group trouble, Ash said that the machine was an incredible invention which made Clemont delighted and proud.

In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', he and the others encountered the {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} they had met before. Clemont used Bunnelby to track Dedenne after he ran off so that he could keep him for Bonnie, but Dedenne had gotten lost with Pikachu. After Dedenne and Pikachu had escaped from [[Team Rocket]] and met up with the others, Dedenne fell over from exhaustion. Using one of his Clemontic Gears, Clemont recharged Dedenne despite the machine blowing up in everyone's faces immediately after. When Team Rocket attacked the group, Clemont used Dedenne to send them blasting off with Pikachu's assistance. He then caught Dedenne and gave him to Bonnie so that she could keep him in her satchel.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', the group arrived in [[Santalune City]], where they met the [[Santalune Gym]] leader, [[Viola]]. Clemont and Bonnie also met her sister, [[Alexa]], who Ash already knew well from his travels in the [[Decolore Islands]]. During their tour of the Gym, Bonnie asked Viola if she would marry Clemont, embarrassing him and leading him to drag her away with his Aipom Arm. He, Bonnie, and Alexa all watched the battle with Viola, cheering for Ash. Just after Ash sent Fletchling out, {{an|Serena}}, a girl who knew Ash from her childhood, entered the Gym and joined the audience. After Ash lost the Gym Battle, they were introduced to her properly. The three later watched Ash train with Alexa.

[[XY006|Later on]], Clemont helped Ash train with another Clemontic Gear, a cannon that fired artificial {{m|Sticky Web}}s, as Ash had lost the battle against Viola as a direct result of Fletchling getting stuck to a Sticky Web. Unfortunately, when he put it onto its maximum setting, it malfunctioned, got blocked by its own ammo, and exploded, though this mishap did inspire Ash to use {{m|Electro Ball}} to prevent Pikachu from falling asleep from {{p|Vivillon}}'s {{m|Sleep Powder}}. After the training was finished, he realized that Bonnie was about to fall asleep and decided to put her to bed. The next day, he, Bonnie, Serena, and Alexa cheered for Ash during his rematch and victory against Viola.

[[File:Clemont stands up to Meyer.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont telling his father about his decision to travel with Ash]]
In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', Clemont's father, not realizing that Ash and Serena were unaware of Clemont's status as a Gym Leader, revealed this fact to Ash and Serena. Seeing that there was no point in hiding it any longer, Clemont told Ash and Serena about how he was ousted from his position by Clembot. After seeing the damage the "strange robot" was causing to the Gym and how it was driving away potential challengers, Clemont decided to challenge the robot to a battle for ownership of the gym, although he had no idea what the passcode was. He was forced to contend with his Magnemite and Magneton, which had been ordered to patrol the Gym by Clembot, but he eventually got to the battlefield, confronted Clembot, and started its Master Recognition mode. Although Clemont finally realized what the pass-code was, he was forced to battle Heliolisk, his own Pokémon that was under Clembot's control. Clemont battled with Bunnelby and was ultimately successful in defeating Clembot, thus gaining back the title of Gym Leader. Clemont then decided to completely reprogram Clembot and left ownership of the gym to it so he could continue traveling with Ash. That night, Ash and Clemont agreed to have a Gym Battle after the former got four badges.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', Clemont befriended a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s laboratory, later rescuing it during an attack by Team Rocket in their newest mecha. Together, they deduced a way to deactivate the mecha, but when that proved unsuccessful, Clemont commanded Chespin while he battled against the mecha alongside Pikachu. However, their efforts were met in vain. The mecha was then defeated by a {{p|Blaziken}} belonging to [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]. The following evening, Clemont decided to catch Chespin when he expressed a desire to travel along with him and the rest of the group.

In ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]'', the group traveled to [[Parfum Palace]] to retrieve a [[Poké Flute]] that [[Princess Allie]] had stolen from [[Lord Shabboneau]]. Clemont refereed a battle between Ash and Princess Allie for ownership of the flute, but when Allie refused to hand it over after she forfeited, he confronted the princess directly, scolding her behavior which he considered "unscientifically selfish". Unfortunately for him, Allie was touched by his scolding, and eventually agreed to hand over the Poké Flute in exchange for Clemont himself: Clemont's horror only intensified when Bonnie (on Serena's suggestion) agreed to it. Although the rest of the group promised they would return for him, Clemont eventually made his own escape by planting a robot decoy and eventually reuniting with his friends and sister.

In ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'', Team Rocket, after separating Clemont from the rest of the group, disguised themselves as scientists and requested his help with a machine they were having trouble with. Not realizing who the scientists actually were, Clemont built for them a {{p|Heliolisk}}-shaped machine that repelled {{t|Electric}} attacks as well as a device that transported capsules containing Pokémon. The next day, when Team Rocket lured the group into their trap, they used the Electric-type resistant machine to steal Pikachu, and then the Pokémon transporter sent it away. Clemont, furious at Team Rocket for tricking him, used Serena's guidebook and {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}'s {{m|Dig}} to locate Team Rocket and Pikachu, whereupon he used a new and improved version of an earlier machine to repel {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s and {{TP|James|Inkay}}'s attacks. With Bunnelby's help, he easily defeated the trio and Pikachu sent them blasting off.
[[File:XY067.png|thumb|250px|Clemont facing off against Ash in their Gym battle]]
In ''[[XY048|A Campus Reunion!]]'', the group arrived at the academy, where Clemont used to study in his youth, and met Clemont's old teacher Éclairisse. Clemont told he invented an electric shower for Electric types called the "Clemontic Shower". Clemont revealed he came up with the idea after helping an exhausted Shinx, which became his best friend during his time at the academy. While they were shown around the academy, the alarm system activated meaning something was going on with the electrical systems under the academy. As the group helped investigate the place, they encountered Team Rocket, who immediately fled. While chasing Team Rocket a wild Luxio appeared, which started to attack Ash and the rest. After convincing the Luxio they were not its enemies, the Luxio passed them and chased Team Rocket before sharing a glance with Clemont, causing both of them to realize that they were old friends. That evening, Clemont told Ash, Serena, and Bonnie about how he had left Shinx on his graduation day, causing Luxio to be angry at him. At that moment, the building lost power, with Éclairisse mentioning that someone was draining electricity from the town's power source. Upon arriving at the power source, the group found Luxio battling Team Rocket, and while continuously getting attacked, he didn't give in. As he was about to get hit by {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Clemont protected Luxio by taking the attack, causing Luxio to remember Clemont as his friend. Fighting together, they managed to blast Team Rocket off. After the battle, as Luxio was about to leave, Clemont told him that he was sorry about leaving him and that he wanted to travel with Luxio, telling him he would be waiting for him at the place they originally promised to meet. The next day, Clemont was waiting, but Luxio still hadn't appeared. As Clemont was about to leave telling himself Luxio still hadn't forgiven him, Luxio appeared from a bush. Crying tears of joy, Clemont threw a Poké Ball and caught Luxio, finally being able to be with his friend.

In ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', the group arrived at the [[Kalos Power Plant]], where Pikachu, Luxio, and Dedenne began acting strange, attacking the group in a seemingly hypnotized state. After finding out that Team Rocket was responsible for the mind-control, Clemont and the group attempted to stop them. During this, Clemont watched as Ash attempted to communicate with Pikachu as he was being shocked by Thunderbolt. However, Luxio slammed Ash away before he could get through to Pikachu, prompting Clemont to step in and take a {{m|Thunder Fang}}. Clemont managed to temporarily disable Team Rocket's brainwashing device, which freed Luxio and the other Electric-types from Team Rocket. Immediately after, Luxio evolved into {{p|Luxray}} and learned {{m|Electric Terrain}}, destroying Team Rocket's machine and sending them blasting off.
Later that day, Clemont decided to join some Kalos Power Plant Workers on a helicopter ride to Lumiose City, saying that he needed to go there to train, in order to give Ash the best Gym Battle that he possibly could. Agreeing with Clemont's decision, Ash, Serena, and Bonnie waved goodbye to him and Luxray, with Ash and Clemont promising each other to train hard for their match.

In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Clemont and Ash had their long-awaited Gym Battle, using his Bunnelby, Heliolisk, and Luxray against Ash's Pikachu, Goodra, and Hawlucha. The battle started with a move-by-move recreation of their first battle before Team Rocket's interruption until Clemont broke the pattern with a new move from Bunnelby through his solo training. However, despite this, Pikachu was able to beat Bunnelby after a hard-fought battle. Clemont used his Heliolisk next, and due to carefully analyzing Ash's battle style, Clemont was able to use Ash's unpredictability in his own strategy giving him a great advantage by paralyzing Ash's Goodra and forcing Ash to switch to his Hawlucha. Heliolisk was defeated when Ash, using Clemont's skill of analyzing a battle discovered its weak spot and delivered a critical hit that knocked the Generator Pokémon out. Clemont's last Pokémon was Luxray, which immediately used Electric Terrain, then landed a boosted Wild Charge on Hawlucha, knocking out the Wrestling Pokémon with a single hit. Luxray faced off against Pikachu next, beating it with another supercharged Wild Charge. After Ash sends out Goodra again, he tells it to use Rain Dance and not only does it disable Electric Terrain, but it activated Goodra's Ability, {{a|Hydration}}, and was cured of the paralysis. When the battle continued, Luxray use attacks on Goodra, but the Dragon Pokémon used Bide to endure. After releasing the energy from Bide, Goodra was able to knock out the Gleam Eyes Pokémon, winning Ash the battle and the Voltage Badge. After thanking Ash for a great battle, Clemont rejoined him on his journey once more.
[[File:Bonnie and Clemont.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont and Bonnie]]
After his Gym battle with Ash, Clemont mostly just supported Ash and Serena on their respective journeys, cheering them on in Gym battles and performances, and taking part in group battles against [[Team Flare]] and the evil Ninja corps. Whenever Ash had a friendly Pokémon Battle, Clemont would usually volunteer to be the referee. Clemont's scientific expertise proved useful on several occasions, as he [[XY084|helped a Pokémon Center that had suffered a blackout]], sending Bunnelby and Chespin on an errand in the process, and [[XY108|helped repair a robot and restore a local forest]]. [[XY114|At one point]], Bonnie's usual attempts to get Clemont married actually got a girl interested in him. Although Clemont appeared to be interested in her, as she was also a dedicated scientist working in a big company, he preferred to continue watching over his sister. When the group passed by a local town that held a festival in the name of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Zapdos}}, Clemont was very interested in going to the festival as he was a dedicated Trainer of Electric types himself.

In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Clemont was fascinated by the {{p|Zygarde}} Core that Bonnie had found and wondered if the creature, or [[Squishy]] as Bonnie had nicknamed it, was a new species of Pokémon. He then helped defend it from Team Flare.

In ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Clemont initially scolded Bonnie for wanting to go look for Squishy, telling her that it was too dangerous and even raising his voice when she talked back to him. The next day, Clemont's Bunnelby got injured after the group had been forced to run from a group of {{p|Scolipede}} that Bonnie had accidentally upset. After Bonnie had run off once more to find the herbs needed to cure Bunnelby, Clemont quickly went to look for her and eventually caught up. He then comforted her and told her that they would eventually find Squishy, as it was a friend to all of them. By the end of the episode, Squishy had returned, fortunately.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Clemont promised to help Ash research his special connection with {{AP|Greninja}}, after observing and refereeing the battle between Ash and [[Alain]]. By the time of ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', Clemont had developed a special wristband-mounted device that would allow him to measure Ash and Greninja's heartbeats. In order to invoke the transformation he then battled Ash and Greninja using his Luxray, but to no avail. He then observed the battles between Ash and Alain and was shocked when Ash collapsed as a result of his exhaustion.

Clemont kept traveling with Ash, being impressed by his ability to eventually master the Ash-Greninja form. When Ash became the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference, Clemont congratulated him on making it that far. After the conference ended, the city was attacked by Team Flare, who was using {{p|Zygarde}} to cover the city in vines. [[XY132|When]] Clemont learned that Team Flare was using his Gym as a base of operations, he insisted on confronting them despite the protests of Blaziken Mask, secretly his concerned father. Nonetheless, Meyer relented when he saw how dedicated Clemont was to his Gym. Clemont then fought Team Flare alongside Clembot, incapacitating [[Aliana]], [[Bryony]], and numerous grunts in order to infiltrate the Gym.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Clemont and Clembot managed to hack their way past a locked door. After knocking out a few grunts with Luxray's {{m|Electric Terrain}}, he battled [[Xerosic]] for the Gym. While Clemont distracted Xerosic, Clembot attempted to hack into the Mega Evolution Ray used to control Zygarde. After defeating Xerosic and sending him falling down a trap door, Clembot said that they could overload the system with a manual order and end Team Flare's scheme, although in doing so Clembot would be overloaded and destroyed as well. Clemont initially hesitated, but at Clembot's own insistence, he tearfully activated the order. After the machine, and Clembot, were destroyed, Clemont dropped to his knees, devastated.
[[File:XYS06.png|thumb|250px|Clemont and Bonnie meeting Cilan]]
In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Clemont goes with Ash, Alain, and Malva in the helicopter, heading towards Anistar City, following the Megalith Zygarde to prevent them from having contact with the Sundial. In [[XY136|the following episode]], he, along with the Ash and the gang, Alain, Malva, Steven Stone, Professor Sycamore, and all the Kalos Gym Leaders, helped stop the Megalith Zygarde and protected the crystal Sundial, which in turn saves Mairin's [[Chespie]], as well as the entire Kalos region and the world from Team Flare's attack. During the fight, he and Bonnie also discover that Blaziken Mask is actually their father Meyer after his mask accidentally fell off during the attack.

Some time [[XY137|after the Team Flare Crisis]], Clemont rebuilds Clembot. However, after he rebuilt Clembot, it no longer had any memories from the past, since its memory got completely erased. Shortly later, a boy named [[Alvin]] came to the Gym to challenge the Gym Leader again. The boy explained that he once challenged Clembot the other day but was defeated, and now that he wants to have a rematch. Clemont understands what the boy wants, but Clemont explained to him that the Gym battlefield hasn't been open yet since the robot's memory has been reset, in which it doesn't have any memory of battling anyone. After the Gym battle between Clembot and Alvin, he, his Pokémon, as well as Ash, Serena, Bonnie, Mairin, and Alain received medals for their efforts against Team Flare. After getting the medals and posing for a group photo, he, along with Serena, Ash, and Bonnie, watched the fireworks and Prism Tower light up that night.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', while the group was returning to Lumiose Airport after dropping off Ash's Goodra at the wetlands, Clemont was kidnapped by Xerosic, who wanted to get revenge on him for the trapdoor trick he pulled on him during the time he took over the Lumiose Gym during the Crisis. After being abducted by Xerosic, Clemont was put under Xerosic's control under his Mega Evolution ray. When Ash and the others arrived to rescue Clemont, he was ordered by Xerosic to exterminate them. However, Clemont tricked Xerosic by putting a microchip on the side of his head while pretending to clean his glasses. When Xerosic lost, he tried to escape by jumping out of his helicopter, but Clemont used his Aipom Arm to prevent him from fleeing and told him that he would need to atone for the crimes he committed; he needed to make inventions to give benefit to people and Pokémon instead of threatening or controlling them. When Xerosic was arrested by Officer Jenny, Clemont told him that traveling with his friends made him strong. After the police car left, he, along with Ash and the others, bid a farewell to Ash-Greninja, who left with Squishy and Z2 to detect the negative energy to protect Kalos.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', just before Clemont and the others were splitting up to go their separate ways, Ash made a video call to {{Delia|his mother}} and {{an|Professor Oak}}. During the call, his mother told him, Bonnie, and Serena that they're more than welcome to stop by at Pallet Town and that she'll cook them a huge feast if they do. After the call, Ash and Serena stayed at Clemont and Bonnie's house for lunch. Just shortly after then, Professor Sycamore, Alain, and Mairin stop by Clemont's place to bid a farewell before Ash and Serena leave Kalos to go their separate ways. When he, his sister Bonnie, Serena, and Ash arrived at Lumiose Airport, and just before Serena left for Hoenn, he promised Bonnie that when she gets older, he'll have a Gym match against her and Dedenne, which he looks forward to. After Serena left for Hoenn, he, Bonnie, and Ash had some time to wait before Ash's flight would leave. Clemont hoped Serena would be okay, but Ash assured that she'll be fine and that Clemont should have faith in her. Just before Ash left, he and Ash had a final battle against each other to end their Kalos adventure the same way as it all began, before Clemont returned to the Lumiose Gym to continue his duties as a Gym Leader.

In [[XYS06]], Clemont was [[fishing]] along with Bonnie when he met up with {{an|Cilan}}. When Cilan revealed that he wanted to visit the Prism Tower, Clemont and Bonnie agreed to accompany him there. The three decided to take the subway, as Cilan announced he is a Metro {{pkmn|Connoisseur}}, but Bonnie ended up boarding a train alone. The train she boarded had a problem and so Clemont and Cilan both headed to the control room to help her. They managed to stop the train and then went to rescue Bonnie. When they got there, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Eelektross}} got the train moving again with Bonnie still inside. Using a fishing rod and the Aipom Arm, Cilan and Clemont were able to safely get Bonnie out of the train before it collided. They later sent out {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} and Chespin to battle the Eelektross before realizing it was lost and helping the {{pkmn|category|EleFish Pokémon}} find its way out of the subway.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Clemont JN.png|thumb|250px|Clemont in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Clemont reappeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where he was seen defeating a challenger before reuniting with Ash, who introduced him to his current Pokémon team. When [[Ash's Sirfetch'd]] started to learn a new move, Clemont identified the move as {{m|Meteor Assault}} and used his newest Clemontic Gear to determine why Sirfetch'd was having trouble mastering the move. With Clemont's advice and some inadvertent help from [[Ash's Dracovish]], the move was perfected. Clemont then suggested a [[Double Battle]] to put the new move to the test, which Ash agreed on. The battle quickly ended in Ash's victory.

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Clemont joined [[Goh]] and Bonnie in observing Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] match against [[Drasna]]. During the battle, Bonnie revealed that Clemont had also battled Drasna once and lost, although Clemont didn't like being reminded of that.

====Other appearances====
Clemont made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' alongside Bonnie.
{{-}}

===Character===
Being a [[Gym Leader]], Clemont has a great deal of Pokémon knowledge and often shares this information with his friends when necessary, similar to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}}.

Clemont is an intelligent inventor who takes pride in his gadgets and science in general, and although his devices usually do what he wants them to do, they only function for a few minutes or even a few seconds before exploding. Whenever he introduces one of his inventions, his glasses shine and he usually says, "''The future is now, thanks to science!''", demonstrating his anticipation of situations that require the help of his machines. He claims to have an invention for just about every situation the group finds themselves in, regardless of the nature of that situation, even normally inconceivable ones like [[Mirror World|alternate dimension]] traveling. When confronting Xerosic, he expressed the belief that inventions should be used to help people and Pokémon get along, as opposed to the other scientist, who believed such inventions could not truly change the world.
[[File:Clemont catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Clemont after catching a Pokémon]]
Even if he takes pride in his accomplishments, Clemont has a tendency to be very modest around people outside of his close acquaintances and friends. For example, when {{TRT}} (in disguise) was complimenting him on his inventions in ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'', he was visibly embarrassed but gratified all the same. In addition to this, Clemont is apparently afraid of being seen on-camera. When Bonnie wanted him to make his own [[Pokévision]] video, he was shaking the entire time on screen and kept blushing and stammering. Later on, when he and the others posed for a group photo with [[Korrina]], he was standing rigidly and had a forced smile on his face while the others were all very relaxed. Clemont has also shown particular nervousness about trying new things in general. In ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', he was extremely anxious about riding a {{p|Skiddo}}, so the Pokémon sensed that fear and kept bucking him off of it.

Clemont is not very athletic, as he easily gets tired while running, or fails to do tasks that require physical activity like [[XY036|gliding with a wingsuit]]. Despite this, if the situation calls for it, he can have a reckless side, as shown in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' when he grabbed a rock, jumped in the air, and aggressively smashed the remote that Team Rocket was using to trap all the {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} in a cage.

Clemont has some confidence and self-esteem issues, and a tendency to jump to negative conclusions related to him. An example of this can be seen in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', when, after losing practice battles against {{AP|Froakie}} and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} due to its overweight state, [[Clemont's Chespin|his Chespin]] followed the smell of macarons from an [[Carrie (XY015)|old lady's]] house. When Clemont saw his Chespin looking happy there, it did not occur to him that the Pokémon was only there for the food, and he assumed that Chespin had stopped caring about him. Later on, their misunderstanding was resolved and Clemont realized that Chespin would always be his number one partner. Because of his nervousness and lack of confidence, Clemont greatly admires and respects Ash, and is traveling with him so that he himself can gain more courage to try new things. He often tries to model his efforts after Ash, as seen in ''[[XY062|The Future is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', when he echoed Ash's promise to save Pikachu and managed to reach {{TP|Clemont|Luxio}} even though it was being hypnotized. In addition to Clemont looking up to Ash, Ash is very encouraging of Clemont as well and habitually reacts much more kindly than Serena and Bonnie when his inventions fail to work properly. However, all three of them help boost Clemont's confidence. When he was feeling down about having been conned by Team Rocket in ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'', the others quickly assured him that it wasn't his fault and that he had saved the day.

While he does not try to emulate Serena the way he does for Ash, Clemont is shown to have a good deal of respect for her as well. He mentioned to {{kal|Grace}} that he was very grateful for the help Serena regularly gives him when preparing meals for the group - Clemont serves as the group's cook, like {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}}, and Serena provides dessert for his meals. In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', Clemont was worried about Serena after the [[Pokémon Showcase]] and wondering if she would be all right, showing his concern for her feelings.
[[File:Clemont and his Pokémon.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont and some of his Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
Clemont loves his younger sister Bonnie, making sure to always take good care of her. He acts almost like a parent to Bonnie while they are on their journey, such as putting her to bed, making sure she eats a healthy diet, and even catching a Pokémon for her to take care of. He is very prone to worry about her, especially because she has a [[XY014|tendency to]] [[XY041|become separated]] [[XY049|from the group]] due to her innately curious and adventurous nature. Clemont's love and worry for his sister are such that if she is in some sort of danger, he fails to consider things like his own lack of physical ability before wanting to help her. Clemont is quick to scold Bonnie if she does something she shouldn't, something that Bonnie has varied responses to. Sometimes, she responds with humility and apologizes, but at other times, she is resentful towards her brother and becomes angry. Bonnie often tries to find a wife for Clemont, looking for beautiful young girls and telling them that they are "keepers" and asking them to take care of Clemont for her. Every time [[XY064|except one so far]], a highly embarrassed Clemont has dragged Bonnie away with his Aipom arm and scolded her for it.

Clemont takes his duty as a Gym Leader very seriously. When Team Flare used his Gym as a base of operations, Clemont insisted on taking it back and fought his way through several grunts and Scientists to do so. When Clemont had to activate Clembot's self-destruct sequence, at the robot's own insistence, he was initially very hesitant as he had grown very fond of Clembot. When he eventually relented, Clemont was left devastated by the loss of his friend.

After when he rebuilt Clembot, he realized his robot has been reset. During the reopening of the Gym with a new challenger challenging the newly-reset robot, Clemont states that it will be its first battle. He also tells its newly programmed robot not to hesitate during a battle, and that losing is frustrating, but a key to get stronger, and to improve in the future.

'''Bonnie''' (Japanese: '''ユリーカ''' ''Eureka'') is an aspiring [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She made her debut appearance in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' along with her older brother, {{an|Clemont}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
=====Before traveling with Ash=====
Bonnie was first seen with her brother Clemont in [[Lumiose City]]. Both were standing outside the Prism Tower when they watched Ash go inside to challenge the Lumiose Gym. When Ash was ejected out of the building, Clemont saved Ash with his Clemontic Gear while Bonnie saved [[Ash's Pikachu]] by catching him before he hit the ground. Thinking that he was cute, Bonnie hugged Pikachu, who shocked her in retaliation. Bonnie quickly apologized and explained that she is too young to have her own Pokémon and therefore always becomes excited when she meets one. Though she cannot own a Pokémon, she participates in other activities when she can. When Clemont and Ash had a {{pkmn|battle}} against each other, she refereed the match for them. She later led them to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s lab when {{AP|Froakie}} was injured by {{TRT}}.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Bonnie met Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} and played with the professor's other Pokémon, before Team Rocket infiltrated the lab. Bonnie tagged along with Ash and Clemont to help free the enraged Garchomp from the machine controlling her, and Bonnie watched her brother use one of his inventions to break into the Prism Tower.

====As Ash's traveling companion====
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Bonnie and Clemont officially decided to accompany Ash on his journey through [[Kalos]]. Later in the episode, the group encountered a wild {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Bonnie asked Clemont to allow her to keep Dedenne, and Ash agreed. Bonnie tried to offer a Berry to Dedenne, but a wild {{p|Fletchling}} stole the Berry, scaring off Dedenne in the process. She later watched with her brother as Ash caught the {{AP|Fletchling}}. After it was caught, Bonnie scolded Fletchling for stealing Dedenne's food but quickly forgave the Pokémon. Dedenne was later seen following Bonnie and the others.
[[File:Bonnie and Clemont.png|thumb|left|250px|Bonnie and Clemont]]
Then, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Bonnie met the Dedenne from the previous episode when he stole the food she was trying to feed to Pikachu and Fletchling. She begged Clemont to capture him for her, but Dedenne forced the group to chase him in several holes in the ground, which caused Dedenne and Pikachu to get lost together. Eventually, Pikachu and Dedenne returned, but a previous encounter with Team Rocket left Dedenne exhausted to the point of fainting, much to Bonnie's horror. After Dedenne was rejuvenated by one of Clemont's inventions, he bonded with Clemont and helped defeat Team Rocket. Afterward, Dedenne allowed Clemont to capture him so that Bonnie could keep him in her satchel.

In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Bonnie discovered [[Squishy|a strange, green Pokémon]] (unbeknownst to her or her friends, a {{p|Zygarde}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|Core]]) resting in her satchel. The Pokémon panicked upon seeing Bonnie and attempted to escape, to no avail. Although baffled as to what it was, as Ash and {{an|Serena}}'s attempts to scan it with their [[Pokédex]]es had proven futile, Bonnie [[nickname]]d it '''Squishy''' (Japanese: '''プニちゃん''' ''Puni-chan'') in the absence of a species name, dead set on looking after it. Unfortunately, Squishy was quickly lost because of a {{p|Dodrio}} stampede caused by [[Sawyer]]'s {{TP|Sawyer|Grovyle}}. Although they quickly caught up to it, it had been captured by a group of [[Team Flare]] {{tc|Team Flare Grunt|Grunts}} led by [[Celosia]]. Ash and Sawyer were able to rescue Squishy from Team Flare, Bonnie catching it after it was dropped by Celosia's {{p|Drapion}}.

Later, Bonnie was unable to get Squishy to eat, not understanding why until it crawled over to a rock to rest and absorb sunlight. Afterward, when it saw [[Terminus Cave]] on Serena's [[Town Map]], it attacked the device, apparently thinking it was a portal to the cave; as a result, the group decided that was their next destination. That night, Squishy, detecting that Celosia was still searching for it, woke the group. The group once again defended it, Serena and Clemont falling back to escape with Bonnie and Squishy as Ash and Sawyer covered their escape. However, Bonnie lost her balance and fell while crossing a river; although she didn't seem hurt, she had lost Squishy again. By the time she reunited with Squishy, it was exhausted from having defended itself against another group of Team Flare Grunts led by [[Bryony]], but it absorbed light to recover, much to Bonnie's relief.

During ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Bonnie brought Squishy back to Terminus Cave, where it started meditating in the water. When Team Flare attacked, Bonnie nearly got hit by {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}} but was saved by Ash. Greninja eventually recovered Squishy and gave it to Bonnie, but Squishy ultimately decided to battle Team Flare itself. In doing so, Bonnie and her friends learned that Squishy had the ability to access stronger forms. In this act of bravery, however, Squishy got separated from the rest of Ash's group, which left Bonnie very worried.

During the events of ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Bonnie wanted to go look for Squishy even though Clemont explicitly forbade her from doing so, out of concern that she would get hurt. When the group eventually got chased by a group of wild {{p|Toxicroak}} as a result of Bonnie's recklessness, {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} got hurt saving her from a nasty fall. Bunnelby was admitted to a [[Pokémon Center]], which left Bonnie feeling very guilty about it, and she promptly went to look for the herbs necessary to cure him. By the end of the episode, Bunnelby had recovered. Squishy had overseen Bonnie's efforts, and as a result returned to the group once more, as it believed humans and Pokémon could live together thanks to Bonnie.
[[File:Bonnie and Squishy.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie and Squishy]]
During [[XY106|the]] [[XY116|following]] [[XY119|episodes]], Bonnie would often be able to tell whenever Squishy was worried and would sing a song to calm it. During ''[[XY114|A Keeper for Keeps?]]'', Bonnie's attempts to get Clemont a wife caused a girl to gain interest in him, to her surprise. She was very displeased as she feared this meant Clemont would stop caring for her. She made several attempts to break them up, all of which backfired. At the end of the episode, however, Clemont revealed that he intended to continue looking after Bonnie. Having learned nothing from the whole ordeal, Bonnie immediately resumed her attempts to get Clemont a wife.

During the events of ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', she was the one who told Diantha about Ash and Greninja's unique transformation. [[XY120|Later on]], she would be the one to dub the forme "Ash-Greninja".

[[XY131|After watching Ash at the Lumiose Conference]], Bonnie was shocked when Squishy fled after the stadium was attacked by weird vines. In [[XY132|the following episode]], despite the protests of [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]], she went after Squishy along with Clemont and Serena. After she finally senses exactly where Squishy was, she was amazed when it transformed into a Zygarde to confront the one under Team Flare's control. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', She watched as Squishy and [[Z2]] were battling each other throughout Lumiose City until the former was subdued by the latter. She sensed Squishy's pain and fell to her knees and after she stood back up, she was rescued by Blaziken Mask's Mega Blaziken when one of the giant roots almost attacked her. Despite Blaziken Mask's attempt to comfort her, she couldn't help but scream out as she kept feeling Squishy's pain.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Bonnie kept trying to reach out to Squishy, who in return attacked her with vines. After Blaziken Mask took a hit for her, a desperate Bonnie began to tear up and, with no other options left, began singing Squishy's song. This managed to snap Squishy out of its mind control, and Bonnie was overjoyed when Squishy came to her side. Soon after, however, Squishy left after it sensed Z2 being freed from Team Flare's control. In [[XY135|the following episode]], Bonnie followed Squishy who searched for Z2. Z2 initially was very skeptical and hostile with Squishy and Bonnie, but Bonnie reached out to Z2 and it allowed Bonnie to carry it. After that, Bonnie, along with Squishy, Z2, and Blaziken Mask were brought along in the helicopter with Ash, [[Alain]], Clemont, and [[Malva]], who's chasing after the [[Giant Rock]].

For most of the fight with the Giant Rock, Bonnie stayed with Squishy and Z2 at the sidelines watching the event with [[Mairin]] and Serena who was tasked to protect the two young girls. In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after a devastating attack from the Giant Rock, Bonnie and Clemont finally discovered the true identity of Blaziken Mask as their father, whose mask fell off during the attack. When Squishy and Z2 both left her to stop the Giant Rock for good, Bonnie tried to chase them but she was stopped by Meyer. Soon after, Squishy and Z2 joined hands and transformed into Zygarde's Perfect Forme, and Bonnie was shown to be very excited, cheering the [[Legendary Pokémon]] stopping [[Lysandre]], destroying the Giant Rock, and restoring Kalos's environment to normal. However, after reverting into the cores, both Squishy and Z2 had to leave her, as they were slightly exhausted from the battle and required some rest. Before leaving, Squishy expressed its deep gratitude towards Bonnie for protecting it all this time and showing it that humans and Pokémon may have hope and determination to never give up. As Squishy and Z2 fade away, Bonnie tearfully proclaimed her love to the Legendary Pokémon once again.
[[File:XYS06.png|thumb|left|250px|Bonnie and Clemont with Cilan]]
In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Bonnie helped Ash, Serena, and her father clean up the gym to prepare for the gym's reopening. At Professor Sycamore's lab, she and the others helped Mairin prepare for the welcome party for Alain. Bonnie made a decoration of Squishy and said that she missed him, wondering what he was up to ever since the Team Flare incident ended. Ash reassured that Squishy was doing fine, and Bonnie agreed. The next day, she watched the Gym battle between [[Alvin]] and Clembot, which ended with Alvin being the victor. After the Gym battle, Professor Sycamore gave medals to Bonnie and Dedenne, as well as Ash, Serena, Clemont, Mairin, Alain, and all of their Pokémon, for all of their heroic efforts against Team Flare. The group then posed for a photo. At night, she watched the fireworks and Prism Tower lighting up with Ash, Serena, and Clemont.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Bonnie went after Xerosic along with Ash, Serena, and Ash's Greninja to rescue her brother Clemont from Xerosic, but when they got there, Clemont was being put under control by Xerosic. After Xerosic was arrested by Officer Jenny, Bonnie reunited with Squishy and Zygarde, who told the gang that Zygarde needed Greninja's powers as Ash-Greninja. After when Greninja left with Squishy and Zygarde, Bonnie made a promise to Squishy that once she becomes a trainer, she will go on another adventure with Squishy in the future.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', during Ash's video call to {{Delia|his mother}} and {{an|Professor Oak}}, Delia tells Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena they are free to stop by Pallet Town sometime for a visit. After the video call, Bonnie realizes that their Kalos journey was coming to a close. Bonnie was upset, in which she barely ate anything and claimed she had too many sweets earlier. Clemont reminded her not to do so before meals. Later, Professor Sycamore, Alain, and Mairin stop by to bid them a final farewell before the gang heads to the airport. After Professor Sycamore, Alain, and Mairin left, Ash and the others head to the airport, which caused Bonnie to be sad again.

When the gang arrived at the airport, the Pokémon started bidding many farewells to each other. However, Dedenne was unable to bear the goodbyes and runs off around the airport. After Bonnie found Dedenne, she tells him that they need to say their goodbyes. She explains to Dedenne that Ash and Serena need to go on and pursue their dreams, the same as she wants to become a Trainer someday with her partner Dedenne. She told him that she will hopefully defeat Serena and Ash in a Pokémon Showcase and Pokémon Battle respectively, and have a gym battle against her brother Clemont. Dedenne jumps back into Bonnie's arms, although still upset, but understands what Bonnie is saying and begins to cheer up along with her.

After Serena's flight left for Hoenn, Clemont and Ash have one final battle before Ash's flight leaves for Kanto, just like how their Kalos adventure all started. Bonnie watches the battle between Clemont's Bunnelby and Ash's Pikachu. After the battle during the sunset, she and Clemont watch as Ash's flight leaves Kalos for Kanto. Later, Bonnie and Clemont return to Prism Tower while she recalls all the amazing Pokémon she has met and befriended throughout her journey with Clemont, Ash, and Serena, such as having a {{p|Flabébé}} in Bonnie's ponytail in ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', meeting a {{p|Lapras}} and taking care of it along with The Lapras Defense Crew ([[Jay]], [[Heidi]], and [[Kye]]) in ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'', looking after and having fun with a {{p|Tyrunt}} from the fossil research lab in ''[[XY086|The Tiny Caretaker!]]'', and finally [[Squishy]]. She also recalls playing Ninja along with Dedenne and Pikachu, proposing to [[Lilia]] to be a keeper for her brother Clemont, and finally promising Squishy that she will go on a brand new adventure with him as soon as she becomes a Trainer someday.

In [[XYS06]], Clemont attended a [[fishing]] competition and brought Bonnie along with him. A short while later, they met {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Cilan told Bonnie and Clemont that he wanted to visit Prism Tower, so she and her brother accompanied him there. When they decided to take the subway to get there, Bonnie, however, ended up boarding the train all by herself and she did not realize that the train she boarded had a problem. Cilan and Clemont both managed to rescue Bonnie from the runaway malfunctioned train. However, just before the two reached the train, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Eelektross}} got the train to move again with Bonnie still on board. After she got rescued before the train crashed, they took Cilan to check out Prism Tower before he splits up with Bonnie and Clemont.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Bonnie JN.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Bonnie reappeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', meeting [[Goh]] as he was trying to catch a {{TP|Goh|Froakie}}. Once Goh had caught Froakie, Bonnie accompanied him to the Lumiose Gym, where they reunited with Ash and Clemont. Seeing Ash's Pokémon team, Bonnie instantly took a liking to {{AP|Dracovish}} and made friends with it. She later observed a brief [[Double Battle]] between Ash and Clemont.

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Bonnie joined Clemont and Goh in watching Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] battle against [[Drasna]]. She also revealed that Clemont had once battled Drasna as well, although Clemont didn't want to be reminded of it, due to how utterly he had been defeated. After the battle, Bonnie asked Drasna to marry her brother, much to Clemont's embarrassment.

Bonnie was seen in a flashback in [[JN105]].

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

===Character===
[[File:Bonnie Proposal.png|thumb|left|250px|Bonnie trying to find a wife for her brother]]
Bonnie is a young and cheerful girl who is always excited to meet new Pokémon. At times, she gets too invasive with Pokémon, similar to {{an|Iris}}, [[Burgundy]] and {{an|Bianca}}, causing them to attack her. She is very proud of her brother's accomplishments as an inventor but sometimes criticizes him if his inventions do not work. She tries to find a wife for Clemont, first seen when she asks [[Viola]] and {{OBP|Jessica|XY008}} if they could marry her brother. This causes him to get embarrassed and remove her with his {{p|Aipom}} arm. She claims she does this because she can't take care of him forever.

Bonnie seems to see Serena as a big sister, and they actively take part in several activities together, like baking [[Poké Puff]]s or clothes shopping. They also sleep together and play games as well. The majority of the time, if she isn't clinging on to Clemont, she's attached herself to Serena. On the rare occasion, she's scared or troubled and Clemont isn't nearby, Bonnie will hug Serena for comfort. She is also one of the few characters aware that Serena has a crush on Ash.

Bonnie doesn't interact with Ash as often as she does with Serena or her brother, but it is evident that she looks upon him favorably, and respects him. She almost always supports Ash in battle, the only exception being when he battles her brother. Ash, in turn, cares for Bonnie like a little sister and does his best to help protect her, though he is quite lenient about it compared to Clemont. Being relatively immature himself, Ash is usually the first to support Bonnie's pleas for fun activities, even when Clemont is reluctant. She also views Ash as being quite dense, being unable to see the obvious affection Serena has for him.

Bonnie dislikes feeling left out. In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', she got upset because she was too small to glide in a wingsuit and in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', where she naively asks Ash's [[Evolution|newly evolved]] {{AP|Frogadier}} to change back into {{p|Froakie}} so she could see his evolution, in which Clemont replied that her request was obviously impossible. Though she cannot own her own Pokémon, she participates in things that she can still do, such as refereeing unofficial matches. She also asks her brother permission to "keep" Pokémon that she one day wants to train when she is old enough to be a Trainer. She enjoys taking care of her friend's Pokémon and particularly likes brushing their fur, similar to a {{pkmn|groomer}}. She always likes to be able to participate in the same activities the rest of the group are taking part in, and not being able to (such as in ''Battles in the Sky!'' when she was denied entry to the indoor sky diving facility), or otherwise being unable to get her own way, causes her to pout. These accomplishments may seem small but they are a way for Bonnie to occupy herself and continuously learn more about being a Trainer.

[[File:Bonnie Drawing.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie's drawing of the group's Pokémon]]
Bonnie is shown to be innocently ignorant of scary things, seeing them more as being 'interesting' or 'fun'. This is seen in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'' and ''[[XY072|Scary Hospitality!]]'', where, when facing a supernatural phenomenon that scares her elder traveling companions, Bonnie is seen happily looking around for the source of it. That's not to say that Bonnie can't be scared. Though she has no problem watching Pokémon battles, Bonnie does not like bullying or one-sided violence and is often seen burying her face in her brother's or Serena's clothes in such situations.

All in all, Bonnie is still a child. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she became tired easily and had to be put to bed early. In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', she began to cry after she lost track of Dedenne. Ash and Serena had to help calm her down and encouraged her not to give up. In ''[[XY045|Splitting Heirs!]]'', it was revealed that she dislikes carrots. In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', Bonnie drew a portrait of {{ashfr|the gang}}'s Pokémon during the [[Coumarine City]] Pledging Tree Festival.

Bonnie's love for Pokémon can be seen in her clothing and other gear, having a {{p|Tyrantrum}} pajamas, a {{p|Slowbro}} swimsuit, a {{p|Snubbull}} apron set and {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Slurpuff}} winter outfits. She also sleeps in a {{p|Shellder}} tent.

After playing with Lapras, the children discovered its body was feeling hot. It was briefly treated by {{an|Clemont}}, but he suggested they should bring a [[Nurse Joy]] as Lapras had a serious fever. Nurse Joy arrived and quickly made Lapras recover. After healing, Lapras started to cry out for the sky. Clemont figured it wanted to return to its friends in the sea. Although the children were initially against the idea of letting Lapras return to its natural habitat, they decided that if they truly loved it, they would help in returning it.

Moments later, {{TRT}} appeared, wanting to steal Lapras. While {{Ash}}, Clemont, and {{an|Serena}} fought them, the children ensured Lapras was guided safely to the sea. Although it got confused by [[James's Inkay]]'s {{m|Psybeam}}, Heidi made it remember the good times they had with it. After this, its friends quickly came to help it and froze Team Rocket with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Afterward, Lapras said goodbye to the Lapras Defense Force as it returned to sea with its friends.

It reappeared in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', during a flashback.

Lapras's only known move is {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

When Team Rocket let Bonnie fall from their balloon, Tyrunt evolved into Tyrantrum and saved Bonnie before sending Team Rocket blasting off again. Afterward Bonnie asked Clemont to catch Tyrantrum, but he failed due to it already belonging to someone. It turned out that Tyrantrum was a restored [[fossil]] Pokémon from the nearby [[Pokémon Fossil Research Lab]], and was returned to be with its kind there, but not before having one final good-bye with Bonnie.

It reappeared in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', during a flashback.

While the group was on their search for them, Bonnie and Pikachu decided to care for Pichu for the time being by giving it food and playing with it.

The invention eventually exploded, but the explosion was noticed by Lyn's older sister [[Lena]] who quickly rushed to the scene, as she, in turn, was looking for Lyn.

==Trivia==
* Bonnie is the youngest female protagonist in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Bonnie serves as an antithesis to {{an|Brock}}'s {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}} as she is the one who requests any older female character that the group encounters to marry {{an|Clemont}} and is subsequently removed by him instead of the other way around.
** One noticeable difference is that Bonnie does not ask any [[Nurse Joy]]s or [[Officer Jenny]]s to marry Clemont; these are the most common targets of Brock's affection.
* In the original Japanese version, Bonnie refers to herself in the third person. This is also carried over to the English dub on some occasions.

'''Clemont's Dedenne''' (Japanese: '''シトロンのデデンネ''' ''Citron's Dedenne'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Clemont}} {{pkmn2|caught}} during his {{pkmn|journey}} through the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his fifth overall. He caught him at {{an|Bonnie}}'s request so she can care for him, as she is not old enough yet to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
=====As a wild Pokémon=====
[[File:Clemont and Dedenne.png|thumb|left|250px|Dedenne and Clemont]]
{{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} first encountered Dedenne in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility]]'' during their journey to [[Santalune City]]. Bonnie was eager to care for the cute Pokémon, and asked Clemont if he would catch him for her to allow her to raise and take with her when she was old enough to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Clemont agreed, and Ash helped her; however, Dedenne ran off crying when a {{AP|Fletchling}} stole the berry he had harvested from the tree. After the same Fletchling was caught by Ash, Dedenne was last seen watching the group as they left.

Soon after, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Dedenne reappeared to the group and stole some food, prompting the gang to give chase. This resulted in {{AP|Pikachu}} getting lost alongside Dedenne. The two became friends, and managed to save each other from {{TRT}}. After reuniting with the group and defeating Team Rocket, Clemont caught Dedenne and then allowed him out of his {{i|Poké Ball}} so he could stay with Bonnie in her satchel.

=====With Clemont and Bonnie=====
In ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', Bonnie used him in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Clemont's Chespin. Due to Chespin being overweight at the time, it tripped during its attack, falling near Dedenne where a single Thunder Shock defeated the {{t|Grass}} type, giving him and Bonnie the win.

In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', while the group was resting at a [[Pokémon Center]], [[Lyn]] took Bonnie's bag, mistaking it for her own since the two bags looked so similar. Since he was resting inside earlier, Dedenne was accidentally taken by Lyn and her older sister [[Lena]]. When he woke up, he accompanied Lyn while she tried to find her {{p|Pichu}}. Lyn also gave him a red ribbon, which was used for identification when she lost Dedenne. When Clemont used his "Radiowave Amplification Device" to amplify Pikachu's energy waves, Dedenne found them and began to follow them to a vineyard where they were both attacked by {{p|Beedrill}}. Though he fought off one of the Beedrill with Thunder Shock, he was attacked by several more. Eventually, he was saved by Pikachu and reunited with Bonnie. He later had dinner with Ash, {{ashfr}}, Lyn and Lena but he was not hungry as he was given lots of snacks by Lyn during the day.
[[File:Ash Goodra Clemont Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Dedenne and Goodra]]
In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Dedenne tried to be friendly to [[Ash's Goomy]], but it was afraid of Dedenne as Goomy, a {{type|Dragon}}, was weak against {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon. Team Rocket showed up and attempted to capture everyone's Pokémon, and were attacked by startled {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Lombre}}, and Dedenne was separated along with Goomy, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, {{an|Serena}}, and Bonnie. Dedenne tried to give Goomy leaves on the way to help regain its energy but it was still scared. Later when Serena was battling Team Rocket with Pancham, he used Nuzzle on Pancham after he got {{status|Confusion|confused}} and, under Bonnie's command, teamed up with Pancham to defeat Team Rocket. Afterwards he followed Goomy's slimy trail after it ran away, due to the battle reminding it how its original home was destroyed by {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. He traveled through a small hole to reach Goomy, who was about to be captured by Team Rocket. He battled them again, but was almost defeated until Goomy, who saw that Dedenne was trying to help it, used {{m|Rain Dance}}, distracting them long enough for Ash and friends to find them, leading to Team Rocket being defeated once more. Overcoming its fear of Dedenne, Goomy affectionately nibbled on Dedenne's ear, which made Dedenne happy.

Despite officially belonging to Clemont, in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', Dedenne stayed with Bonnie when Clemont left for Lumiose City by himself.
[[File:Bonnie and Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|left|Dedenne and Bonnie]]
In ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', Ash and the gang reunited with Goodra at the wetlands. Dedenne was shown to be very excited, as he was the first one to reach Goodra. Later, when Team Rocket trapped six {{p|Carbink}} in one of their cages used to capture Pokémon and was discussing over what to do with them, Dedenne, who was eavesdropping, attempted to free them. He first tried nibbling on the corners of the cage, and when that didn't work, he used Nuzzle in attempt to break the cage. Not only did that not work, but the ruckus also attracted the attention of Team Rocket. Team Rocket promptly sent out their Pokémon to chase Dedenne away. Dedenne ran right into Bonnie, who was looking for Dedenne, and upon seeing Team Rocket's Pokémon chasing Dedenne, she ran away and followed Dedenne back to the group. With this, Team Rocket began attacking the wetlands with their Carbink mecha. After defeating Team Rocket and retreating to relax in a cavern pool, Dedenne was shown happily diving off Goodra's head and into the water.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Dedenne and the rest of Clemont's Pokémon received medals from [[Professor Sycamore]] for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Dedenne noticed Bonnie feeling sad, since the group would soon go on their separate ways. At the airport, while everyone said their goodbyes, Dedenne became upset and ran off. He was eventually located by Pikachu, who used his electricity to track him down, and was comforted by Bonnie. Afterwards, Dedenne bade farewell to Ash, Pikachu, and Serena.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Dedenne reappeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where he met Ash, his Pokémon, and [[Goh]]. In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Dedenne watched Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] match against [[Drasna]].

Dedenne appeared in a flashback in [[JN105]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Pikachu and Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Dedenne using his whiskers to communicate with Pikachu]]
[[File:Clemont Dedenne sleeping.png|thumb|left|250px|Dedenne's habit of sleeping]]
It was made clear in his very first appearance that Dedenne is a gluttonous Pokémon. In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', his desire for a berry was strong enough that he was willing to fight Pikachu over it, and he only approached Bonnie because she had the berry in her hand. He reappeared to the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' to steal food. Dedenne is also a bit timid, as shown in his debut when he got upset when Fletchling swooped in and ate the berry Bonnie had for it. In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', although initially unresponsive to her, Dedenne becomes very close to Bonnie, as he is often seen in either her hair or satchel. Dedenne is also prone to sleep while he is conserving his electrical energy, although he does so at the most inconvenient times, such as when he slept during attacks by {{TRT}} in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]'' and ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]''. However, Dedenne has been shown to be a competent battler when he is focused, and has no problem taking commands from either his Trainer or carer. Dedenne can sometimes be an affectionate Pokémon as shown in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' and ''[[XY022|Going For the Gold!]]'', when Bonnie nuzzles Dedenne, she causes him to use {{m|Nuzzle}}, giving Bonnie a shock. In ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', he has been shown to be affectionate to others as well.

Dedenne has special relationships with a few specific Pokémon. In particular, he has a sibling-like relationship with [[Ash's Pikachu]], looking up to and respecting him. The two of them often communicate using the electrical energy from their cheeks, such as in ''One for the Goomy!''. Ever since that episode, Dedenne has also had a remarkably strong friendship with [[Ash's Goodra]]. Although the latter was frightened of Dedenne [[XY055|at first]], they became friends once Goodra, as a Goomy, realized how much Dedenne cared about it and was willing to go to any lengths to keep it from harm. Their bond was also shown in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', when Dedenne gave Sliggoo a hug after they were reunited, ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', when Goodra shared its food with Dedenne, ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', when the two of them had to say goodbye to each other, and ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', where the two reunited after Goodra's long absence.

==In the manga==
[[File:Bonnie Dedenne Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Dedenne in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Clemont owns multiple Dedenne in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. They and Clemont's other {{type|Electric}} Pokémon provided power for the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] during a blackout.

In [[PS592]], one of these Dedenne helped Bonnie free the Pokémon captured by [[Team Flare]] on {{rt|10|Kalos}}.

===Movie adaptations===
Dedenne appeared in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}'' and ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}'', under [[Bonnie]]'s care.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Dedenne is the first [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring Pokémon]] to be {{pkmn2|caught}} by a {{ashfr|main character}} other than {{Ash}}.
* Dedenne is the first [[walking Pokémon]] in the main cast to be traditionally caught in the wild by his {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* Dedenne is the first {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon to be owned by a main character in the {{pkmn|anime}}, not counting those who gained the type after their introduction.
* Dedenne is Clemont's only Pokémon to not have an [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]].
* As it is primarily under the care of Bonnie, who is too young to be a Trainer, Dedenne is Clemont's only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon not used in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.
* Dedenne is incorrectly referred to as a female in the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese dub}} of ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'' and ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

The '''Altarianite''' (Japanese: '''チルタリスナイト''' ''Tyltalisnite'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is the [[Mega Stone]] that allows {{p|Altaria}} to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Altaria.

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head‎|items}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev6|ORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}}|N/A|N/A}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
====In battle====
If held by an {{p|Altaria}}, allows it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Altaria if its {{pkmn|Trainer}} has a [[Key Stone]]. Each Trainer can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon per battle.

Unaffected by item negating effects (such as {{m|Embargo}} and {{a|Klutz}}). Item manipulating effects (such as {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Fling}}) cannot give Altaria an Altarianite or remove an Altarianite from Altaria.

====Outside of battle====
If held by an Altaria, allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Altaria when it performs a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}} during a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]] while its Trainer has a Key Stone. Altaria will remain a Mega Altaria until the [[Pokémon Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round]] ends.

Pokémon holding Altarianite in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} cannot be traded to {{g|X and Y}}.

===Description===
{{movedesc|items}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev6|ORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}}|One of a variety of mysterious Mega Stones. Have Altaria hold it, and this stone will enable it to Mega Evolve during battle.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Shuffle===
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], the Altarianite allows the player to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] {{p|Altaria}}.

The player can obtain the Altarianite by defeating Mega Altaria in Stage 75 found on [[Galerie Rouge]].

The Altarianite enables the following Mega Evolution:

{{ShuffleMegaStone/foot}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Altarianite anime.png|thumb|250px|An Altarianite in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
An Altarianite belonging to [[Drasna]] appeared in ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]''. She used it to Mega Evolve her {{p|Altaria}} during her [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}, but despite the power-up, Altaria was still defeated.

Another Altarianite appeared in [[JN105]], under the ownership of [[Lisia]]. She used it to Mega Evolve her Altaria, Ali, during the [[Lilycove City]] [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]].

A '''Mega Stone''' (Japanese: '''メガストーン''' ''Mega Stone'') is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] that, if activated with a [[Key Stone]], causes a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to undergo [[Mega Evolution]]. According to [[Professor Sycamore]] of [[Kalos]], Mega Stones are the results of [[Evolution stone]]s being irradiated by the power of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of life and destruction. There are 47 known Mega Stones, corresponding to 45 different Pokémon.

In [[Generation VIII]], Mega Stones (and Mega Evolution) do not appear in the [[core series]], but they do appear in other media.

==In the core series==
===Mechanics===
During {{pkmn|battle}}, a Mega Stone can be activated while its corresponding {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is on the field. The stone must be held by the Pokémon or, in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] (which do not feature [[held item]]s), be in the possession of the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Trainer}}. The Pokémon's Trainer can use their [[Key Stone]] to activate the Mega Stone at the start of a turn, causing the Pokémon to undergo [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Stones are not consumed upon use, but only one Mega Stone use is possible per Trainer per battle. Mega Stones cannot be activated for Pokémon that have transformed into their corresponding Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}).

As held items, Mega Stones cannot be transfered to or from their corresponding Pokémon in battle; {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} will not steal them, {{m|Knock Off}} will not remove them or cause extra damage, {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Switcheroo}}, {{m|Fling}}, and {{m|Bestow}} will fail, and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Embargo}}, {{m|Magic Room}}, and {{a|Klutz}} also do not prevent the use of Mega Stones.

During a {{pkmn|Contest|Contest Spectacular}}, if a Mega Stone is being held by its corresponding Pokémon, the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Coordinator}} will activate it automatically if the Pokémon performs a [[Spectacular Talent]].

===Acquisition===
====Generation VI====
=====X and Y=====
[[File:Kalos Mega Stone Locations.png|thumb|250px|A map depicting the locations of Mega Stones in Kalos]]
Some Mega Stones are given or sold to the player by NPCs. Most others can be found in various locations around [[Kalos]], appearing as sparkles on the ground rather than [[item ball]]s. These can only be found after [[Professor Sycamore]] upgrades the player's [[Mega Ring]] in [[Anistar City]], which only happens after the player defeats their [[rival]] in [[Kiloude City]]. These Mega Stones also only appear from <time datetime="20:00:00">{{#time:H:i|20:00:00}}</time> to <time datetime="20:59:59>{{#time:H:i|20:59:59}}</time>, while the Anistar Sundial is active. Some Mega Stones are exclusive to each game.

The Blazikenite, Latiasite, and Latiosite are only obtainable via [[trade]]. However, the former was also an [[event item]]. Mega Stones introduced in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} are unobtainable.

=====Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire=====
Some Mega Stones are only obtainable by meeting certain requirements, such as defeating [[Lisia]] in a [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] Contest Spectacular to receive the Lucarionite from {{ga|Chaz}}, or receiving the Garchompite from [[Aarune]] after reaching the [[Super-Secret Base]] Platinum Rank. However, most Mega Stones appear around [[Hoenn]] as sparkles on the ground, much like in {{pkmn|X and Y}}. Many of these only appear after the player defeats or captures {{p|Groudon|Primal Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre|Primal Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

The Diancite is unobtainable through normal gameplay; instead, it can be received from an NPC in any [[Pokémon Center]] if the player has a {{p|Diancie}}—an [[event Pokémon]]—in their party.

Pokémon holding Mega Stones introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (except the Latiasite and Latiosite) cannot be traded to X and Y.

====Generation VII====
=====Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon=====
No Mega Stones are received before the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}. The player receives an Alakazite, along with a Key Stone, from [[Dexio]] after defeating him at [[Ancient Poni Path]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Poni Plains]]{{sup/7|USUM}}. The Kanto starters' Mega Stones can be received by defeating {{ga|Red}}{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/7|USUM}} in a challenge at the [[Battle Tree]]. Many Mega Stones (including the Alakazite) can be purchased at the Battle Tree for 64[[Battle Point|BP]] each. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, only the Mega Stones for Pokémon in the {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex}} can be purchased. In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all Mega Stones except the Kanto starters' and the Diancite can be purchased.

In Sun and Moon, the remaining Mega Stones are only obtainable via trade. However, they were all also event items. They were distributed via [[List of other event distributions (Generation VII)|universal serial code]]s provided on the official Pokémon website, which were usable in all [[software region]]s but expired on <time datetime="2017-10-31 23:59:59">{{#dateformat:2017-10-31|mdy}} at {{#time:H:i T|23:59:59}}</time>. Some were also distributed via unique serial codes to players who participated in certain [[List of Online Competitions in Generation VII|Online Competitions]] on the [[Pokémon Global Link]].

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Diancite can be received from a {{tc|Collector}} at [[Olivia]]'s {{DL|Konikoni City|jewelry store}} in [[Konikoni City]] upon showing him a Diancie.

=====Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!=====
Only the Mega Stones for Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are obtainable. The player receives the Kanto starters' Mega Stones, along with a Key Stone, from Blue at the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Pokémon Research Lab]] after obtaining seven [[Badge]]s. {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Stones can be received from {{ga|Green}} after defeating her in [[Cerulean Cave]]. The remaining Kanto Pokémon Mega Stones can be purchased from a {{tc|Poké Maniac}} at [[Indigo Plateau]] for {{pdollar}}30,000 each after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Siebold Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|[[Siebold]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} wearing its [[Blastoisinite]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', Pokémon wear Mega Stones using equipment similar to that which their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use to hold their [[Key Stone]]s. The equipment disappears while the Pokémon is in its Mega Evolved state. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Mega Stones appear to be merged with the body of their holders and only appear whenever the Mega Evolution process is triggered. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Mega Stones appear in front of the holder seemingly out of nowhere once the process starts.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
Mega Stones were first mentioned in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', where {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told {{Ash}} that a "special stone" is required to trigger Mega Evolution, referring to Mega Stones.

Mega Stones made their physical debut in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. The Mega Stones seen were [[Alain]]'s [[Charizardite X]], [[Astrid]]'s [[Absolite]], [[Remo]]'s [[Garchompite]], [[Siebold]]'s [[Blastoisinite]], and a [[Gyaradosite]] found by Alain from a set of ancient ruins. In addition, a [[Lucarionite]] was seen in a painting featuring the first-ever Mega Evolution, which was shown to Alain by Professor Sycamore in a flashback. Astrid's Absolite made a brief reappearance during the opening credits of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

[[Diantha's Gardevoir]]'s [[Gardevoirite]] debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''. The Embrace Pokémon was shown carrying its Mega Stone in a necklace around its neck.

In ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', a Lucarionite was found by {{an|Korrina}} in a cave near [[Geosenge Town]]. After battling a {{p|Blaziken}} guarding the Lucarionite—which was afterward revealed to belong to Korrina's grandfather, [[Gurkinn]]—Korrina obtained the Mega Stone and used it to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. The uncut Lucarionite was later set in an armband by [[McGinty]], allowing Lucario to wear the Mega Stone. It retained it during its return in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

In ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', Gurkinn was revealed to own a Lucarionite. Much like Korrina's Lucario, Gurkinn's Lucario also wears its Lucarionite in an armband on its left wrist.

In ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', a [[Mawilite]] was worn by [[Mabel]]'s {{p|Mawile}} in a piece of jewelry placed at the foot of its head jaws.

In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', a Lucarionite was featured in a story told by Gurkinn depicting the first known Mega Evolution.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} wore a [[Metagrossite]] as a large bracelet on its right foreleg. An [[Ampharosite]] was also seen in a flashback in the same episode, having been found by [[Lysandre]] before Alain could get his hands on it.

In ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', Professor Sycamore's Garchomp wears a Garchompite as a choker around her neck.

Several different Mega Stones appeared in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''. The Mega Stones seen included a [[Venusaurite]] attached to the tree on a {{p|Venusaur}}'s back; an [[Alakazite]] tied onto one of {{p|Alakazam}}'s spoons; and [[Malva]]'s [[Houndoominite]], which is attached to a collar her {{p|Houndoom}} wears around its neck.

In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] with an {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} found an [[Audinite]]. She later used it and Professor Sycamore's Key Stone to Mega Evolve Audino.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', an [[Abomasite]] was worn by [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Abomasnow}}. The Frost Tree Pokémon wears its Mega Stone on its chest, revealing it only when it is about to Mega Evolve.

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', a [[Charizardite Y]] was worn by {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} in a ring around its tail.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', a [[Sceptilite]] was worn by [[Sawyer]]'s {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} on a bandanna that is tied around its neck.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Gardevoir has a Gardevoirite in a necklace around its neck, which looks exactly like the necklace that Diantha's Gardevoir has.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', a [[Gyaradosite]] was worn by [[Lysandre]]'s Shiny {{p|Gyarados}} around its neck in a holder similar to the one Alain's Charizard keeps its Charizardite X in. It is unknown whether this is the same Gyaradosite that Alain found in ''Mega Evolution Special I'', or a different one.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] wore a [[Steelixite]] and a [[Gyaradosite]], respectively. They were used in their respective battles.

In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', [[Team Rocket]] Elite Officer [[Gozu]] owned an [[Aggronite]].

In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', a [[Kangaskhanite]] was used by [[Ilima]] during his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]].

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', an [[Altarianite]] was worn and used by [[Drasna]]'s {{p|Altaria}}.

In [[JN105]], another Altarianite was worn and used by [[Lisia]]'s Altaria, Ali.

In [[JN115]], Alain was revealed to have acquired a new Charizardite X for his Charizard.

In [[JN117]], {{an|Cynthia}} was revealed to own a Garchompite, which her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} uses to Mega Evolve.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|A Charizardite X (left) and a Key Stone (right) in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
In ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]] gave {{OBP|Red|Origins}} a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, merely saying that he would find out soon enough.

In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, one of the stones was revealed to be a [[Charizardite X]] that came from Kalos. Together, it and the Key Stone triggered [[Red's Charizard]]'s Mega Evolution, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X and weaken Mewtwo enough to be caught by Red.

===Pokémon Evolutions===

In ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'', {{ga|Green}} was shown to be in possession of a [[Mewtwonite X]], a [[Mewtwonite Y]], and a [[Blastoisinite]]. She used the last one to Mega Evolve her {{p|Blastoise}} during her battle against {{ga|Elaine}}, and ended up giving the first two to her after being defeated by her.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], which is centered around Mega Evolution, several characters have Mega Stones in their possession. {{OBP|Akira|LDK}} owns both a Charizardite X and a Charizardite Y, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}} owns a Garchompite, and [[Taichi]] has an Ampharosite.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Kangaskhanite Adventures.png|thumb|250px|A [[Kangaskhanite]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{chap|X & Y}}====
Due to Mega Evolution being a relatively unknown phenomenon, the Mega Stone concept gradually developed. {{adv|Trevor}} was not aware of the Mega Stone that {{adv|X}}'s [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]] possessed until ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]'', when he found it in Kanga's pouch. In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Trevor and X proved that Kanga's Mega Stone had no effect when taken out of Kanga's pouch and placed with X's [[Marisso|Chespin]]. In ''[[PS566|Overthrowing a Tyrunt]]'', Trevor and X became aware of different Mega Stones and their names when the {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} they were fighting mentioned the Kangaskanite and Manectite explicitly. Trevor and X combined their skills to defeat the grunt in battle and steal a list of Mega Stones that he had supposedly compiled.

* [[Korrina]]'s {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} possesses a Lucarionite, allowing him to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.
* [[Gurkinn]]'s {{p|Heracross}} wears his Heracronite around his horn.
* [[Diantha]]'s {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} wears its Gardevoirite around its head.
* [[Lysandre]]'s Gyarados possesses a Gyaradosite, which a Team Flare grunt successfully dispatched to [[Malva]].
* X's [[Élec]] possesses a Manectite, which is kept in a patch of fur on his chest. Élec was motivated to seek his Mega Stone after witnessing Kanga and Li'l Kanga Mega Evolve during a battle in the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]].
* X's {{p|Gengar|Garma}} possesses a Gengarite, which is kept in a patch of fur under his jaw.
* {{adv|Tierno}} and {{adv|Shauna}} found multiple Mega Stones while looking for a Pinsirite and Absolite for X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}}. After some searching, they successfully found the correct Mega Stones and gave them to X and Y.
* X's [[Salamè]] possesses a Charizardite X, which he keeps on the tip of his tail, hidden inside of the tail's flame. {{adv|Blue}}'s {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} possesses a Charizardite Y, which is also kept hidden inside of the flame on the tip of his tail. Both Charizard combined in their respective Mega Evolutions to defeat [[Xerosic]], who claimed that Team Flare found no proof that a Charizard Mega Evolves, let alone into two different forms.
* [[Blaine]] possesses both a Mewtwonite Y and Mewtwonite X, which he can use to Mega Evolve {{adv|Mewtwo}} into either of its Mega Evolutions.

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The Mega Stones appear or are mentioned in the following rounds:

* In ''[[PAORAS01|Omega Alpha Adventure 1]]'', {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}} revealed that he and Latias have obtained their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', it was revealed that {{Steven}} had already found the Mega Stones for [[Chic|Blaziken]], [[Mumu|Swampert]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} for {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, and {{adv|Emerald}}, respectively.
* In ''[[PAORAS03|Omega Alpha Adventure 3]]'', [[Zinnia]] used her Salamencite to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} during a battle against Ruby. Using Latios's Latiosite, Ruby Mega Evolved the Eon Pokémon into Mega Latios and defeated Mega Salamence.
* In ''[[PAORAS11|Omega Alpha Adventure 11]]'', {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} were revealed to have respectively obtained the Venusaurite and Blastoisinite, sometime before following [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], who had obtained the Cameruptite and Sharpedonite, respectively. The two pairs of Trainers used the Mega Stones with their respective Pokémon to battle each other.
* In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} was revealed to have obtained a Beedrillite, using it to Mega Evolve his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world may be housing a Pokémon inside of it. The [[Meteor Village]] {{OBP|elder|Meteor Village}} later offered {{adv|Sapphire}} a Gardevoirite and Galladite, commenting how matching her Gallade and {{adv|Ruby}}'s Gardevoir are. Ruby and Sapphire later used these Mega Stones to Mega Evolve [[Rara]] and {{p|Gallade|Kirly}} during a brief battle against each other.
* In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', after destroying the [[Grand Meteor Delta]], Ruby has {{p|Hoopa}} find a Diancite for Diancie to use in the Pokémon Contest Spectacular, allowing Ruby to Mega Evolve Diancie for his and Sapphire's performance.

==Trivia==

* The design of the Mega Stones appears to be based on a common pattern found in the glass {{wp|Marble (toy)|marble}} called a toothpaste or catseye marble.
* Certain Mega Stones in X and Y are only found in the game in which the corresponding Pokémon is not normally available:
** The Aggronite and Houndoominite are only found in Y, though {{p|Aron}}, {{p|Houndour}}, and their evolved forms are exclusive to X.
** The Tyranitarite and Manectricite are only found in X, though {{p|Larvitar}} and {{p|Electrike}} are exclusive to Y; however, {{p|Pupitar}} and {{p|Manectric}} can be found in the [[Friend Safari]] in both X and Y.
* Despite not being introduced officially until Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Latiosite and Latiasite exist in the code for X and Y and can be transfered to them.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is explained that {{p|Rayquaza}} does not require a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve due to its mikado organ working as a Mega Stone once it has consumed enough [[meteorite]]s.

A '''Key Stone''' (Japanese: '''キーストーン''' ''Key Stone'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], which is used to allow a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} holding a [[Mega Stone]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. It cannot be obtained in [[Generation VIII]].

When the Key Stone is activated, the Pokémon's corresponding Mega Stone reacts to it, starting the Mega Evolution process. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s typically keep their Key Stone inside a personal accessory, such as a [[Mega Ring]], [[Mega Bracelet]], [[Z-Ring]], or [[Z-Power Ring]].

==In the core series games==
===Player characters===
====Pokémon X and Y====
{{main|Mega Ring}}
In {{g|X and Y}}, the player characters hold their Key Stones in a [[Mega Ring]], a large black bracelet that {{ga|Calem}} and {{ga|Serena}} wear on their left wrist.

The possession of one Mega Ring is offered to the player and each of their friends, who have to pick the most deserving out of their group. The selection is quickly whittled down to two people: the player and {{ga|Serena}} or {{ga|Calem}} (depending on the gender of the player). Upon defeating their rival, the player must obtain the {{badge|Rumble}} at the [[Shalour Gym]] and then go to the top of the [[Tower of Mastery]] to receive the ring from [[Korrina]].

After the player has beaten their rival in [[Kiloude City]], [[Professor Sycamore]] will upgrade their Mega Ring at the [[Anistar City|Anistar Sundial]] by having the player touch the sundial. Once upgraded, the player can then find hidden Mega Stones around Kalos from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{main|Mega Bracelet}}
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player characters hold their Key Stones in a [[Mega Bracelet]], a large white bracelet that {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} wear on their left wrist. {{Steven}} gives the Mega Bracelet to the player on [[Southern Island]] after {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, holding its respective Mega Stone, joins the player.

The player character also wears a special Mega Bracelet during {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars}}, Brendan's being a '''Mega Cuff''', a black band with a circle of large, connected red diamonds affixed to it, with the Key Stone embedded in the band, while May's is a '''Mega Charm''', a chain of cream bows with the Key Stone embedded into a pink heart charm.

{{tc|Secret Base Trainer}} avatars of player characters that have a Mega Bracelet will use it in battle if possible.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In [[Generation VII]], after becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player receives a '''Key Stone''' from [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]] at [[Ancient Poni Path]]{{sup/7|SM}}/[[Poni Plains]]{{sup/7|USUM}} after defeating Dexio. They hold their Key Stone in their [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player receives a '''Key Stone''' from {{ga|Blue}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] after earning seven [[Badge]]s and meeting {{ga|Trace}} in front of the [[Viridian Gym]]. They do not hold it in any accessory and it does not show up on the player's models.

===Non-player characters===
Many non-player characters keep their Key Stones in special items, many of which differ from the items that the player can use.

====Pokémon X and Y====
* [[Lysandre]]'s '''Mega Ring''' (Japanese: '''メガリング''' ''Mega Ring'') takes the form of a silver ring that he wears on the middle finger of his left hand.
* [[Korrina]] uses a '''Mega Glove''' (Japanese: '''メガグローブ''' ''Mega Glove''), which is a white glove she wears on her left hand.

===Pokémon Adventures===
====History====
[[File:Mega Ring Adventures.png|230px|thumb|A Mega Ring in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{chap|X & Y}}=====
{{adv|X}} was given a [[Mega Ring]] with a Key Stone inside from [[Gurkinn]] as a child. With it, he can Mega Evolve his [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], [[Salamè]], [[Élec]], {{p|Gengar|Garma}}, and {{p|Pinsir|Rute}}, into {{me|Kangaskhan}}, Mega Charizard X, Mega Manectric, Mega Gengar, and Mega Pinsir, respectively.

Those taught by Gurkinn, the Mega Evolution guru, tend to use Mega Gloves. This includes [[Korrina]], three unnamed students, and Gurkinn himself. Gurkinn stated that he gave Key Stones to 16 people through a Mega Evolution successor ceremony, with X being the sole exception. He later gave his Key Stone to {{adv|Y}}, thus making her a successor as well.

At Lysandre Café in [[Lumiose City]], Diantha shields Y and her friends from Lysandre's Pokémon by using her Mega Charm to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} into Mega Gardevoir.

Lysandre later obtains a Mega Ring from Malva outfitted with a Key Stone stolen from Korrina.

At the [[Lost Hotel]], {{adv|Y}} is made a Mega Evolution successor by Gurkinn. She is given a Mega Ring outfitted with the Key Stone from Gurkinn's Mega Glove. With it, she can Mega Evolve her {{p|Absol|Solsol}} into Mega Absol.

{{adv|Blue}} is later revealed to be a successor as well, keeping his Key Stone on a ring. When not in use, Blue wears the ring around his neck as a pendant. With it, he can Mega Evolve his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} into Mega Charizard Y.

[[Blaine]] later appears at the [[Pokémon Village]], revealed to have reunited with {{adv|Mewtwo}}. He had gained a Key Stone sometime prior and placed it in his cane, using it to Mega Evolve Mewtwo into either Mega Mewtwo Y or Mega Mewtwo X.

[[File:Mega Bracelet Adventures.png|230px|thumb|Mega Bracelets in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
{{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} acquired [[Mega Bracelet]]s from [[Ultima]] and {{Steven}} in preparation for another disaster coming to Hoenn. In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', Ruby successfully used his Mega Bracelet and {{p|Latios}}'s Latiosite to Mega Evolve the Eon Pokémon and [[Soaring in the sky|soar]] with it to the [[Sky Pillar]].

Many members of the [[Draconid people]] possess Key Stones, such as Zinnia, [[Renza]], [[Jinga]], [[Tomatoma]], and the [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Meteor Village Elder]]. While Zinnia keeps her Key Stone in her Mega Anklet, Renza, Jinga, and Tomatoma keep theirs in arm bands, similar to Zinnia's anklet, while the Elder keeps hers in a walking cane. When battling Ruby and Sapphire, Zinnia wears a second Mega Anklet that originally belonged to [[Aster]].

In ''[[PAORAS06|Omega Alpha Adventure 6]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin. In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', he reveals that he is a Mega Evolution successor, having obtained the Key Stone from Gurkinn. He later gives Zinnia a jar of Key Stones belonging to Aster that were taken from the [[Embedded Tower]].

In ''[[PAORAS11|Omega Alpha Adventure 11]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their {{p|Camerupt}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. After Maxie and Archie disappeared from exhausting the energy keeping their bodies stable, [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} took their Key Stones and Mega-Evolving Pokémon.

When battling against Maxie and Archie, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} used rings with patterns similar to the Mega Bracelets to Mega Evolve [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] respectively to battle them. Though their rings resemble the one owned by Blue, it is unknown where they received them.

In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} reveals he has a Key Stone placed in the "R" of his chest pocket. With it, he can Mega Evolve his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bag unknown Sprite.png|thumb]]
* The Key Stone items used by NPCs [[List of unobtainable items|exist within the data]] of [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. They have a sprite (a white question mark), but cannot be obtained in normal gameplay. They were programmed into the game because if not, NPCs wouldn't be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon.
* In [[Generation VI]], before battle with a non-player character that can use Mega Evolution, the Key Stone accessory is often shown off. For Trainers that use VS sprites (such as [[Korrina]] and [[Diantha]]), often the Key Stone is clearly visible in the zoomed-in VS sprite. For Trainers that use 3D models (such as [[Lysandre]] and [[Zinnia]]), the camera often starts by focusing on the Key Stone before zooming out to show the full body. Some Trainers, such as {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} and {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, have the Key Stone accessory visible on their 3D model, but it is not focused on. However, other Trainers, such as [[Courtney]], [[Matt]] and the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]], do not have visible Key Stones at all. {{tc|Secret Base Trainer}}s have no visible indication of possessing a Key Stone.

'''Ash's Dracovish''' (Japanese: '''サトシのウオノラゴン''' ''Satoshi's Uonoragon'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', the second one he caught in the [[Galar]] [[region]], and his fifty-seventh overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Ash and Dracovish.png|thumb|left|250px|Dracovish and Ash]]
{{p|Dracovish}} first appeared when [[Cara Liss]] and [[Bray Zenn]] restored it and an {{p|Arctozolt}} from [[Fossil]]s they had discovered in the [[Wild Area]]. {{Ash}} attempted to greet it, but it responded by attempting to bite him and then proceeded to chase him and {{AP|Pikachu}}. As it chased Ash, he commanded Pikachu to use {{m|Electroweb}} to stop it, but Dracovish tore through it and accidentally attacked Arctozolt, which got angered and created a field of ice using {{m|Icy Wind}}, that both Ash and Dracovish slipped on, resulting in Ash winding up on top of the {{pkmn|category|Fossil Pokémon}} as it ran away. It ran a long way to a pond, where Ash realized it had just wanted a swim. After they had returned to their starting point, Cara Liss and Bray Zenn let Ash and [[Goh]] keep the Fossil Pokémon, since they had already gotten the data they wanted about them. As such, Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} Dracovish, while Goh caught {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt}}.
[[File:Ash Dracovish Kids Marine Athletic Race.png|thumb|250px|Dracovish in the Kids Marine Athletic Race]]
In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', Ash entered Dracovish in the [[Marine Athletic Race|Kids Marine Athletic Race]]. After winning the race, Dracovish helped to free [[Chloe]] from a cave she had been trapped in by using its newly revealed {{m|Fishious Rend}}.

In ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', Ash used Dracovish in his [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Iris}} at the [[Opelucid Gym]], sending it out against [[Iris's Dragonite]]. Dracovish succeeded in catching Dragonite in its mouth with Fishious Rend, before defeating it with a super effective {{m|Ice Fang}}. Next, Dracovish went up against [[Iris's Haxorus]], but was quickly defeated by a combination of {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Psycho Cut}}.

In [[JNS03]], Dracovish helped in an attempt to stop a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} from reaching [[Spear Pillar]].

In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', Dracovish became fascinated by {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}'s leek as it was trying to learn {{m|Meteor Assault}} during Ash's visit to the [[Lumiose Gym]]. By biting down on the leek, Dracovish inadvertently ended up stabilizing it enough to help Sirfetch'd master the move. Dracovish subsequently joined Sirfetch'd in a [[Double Battle]] against {{an|Clemont}}, during which it mimicked Sirfetch'd's Meteor Assault pose and ended up learning {{m|Dragon Rush}} as a result. With this new move, it swiftly defeated [[Clemont's Diggersby]], giving Ash the victory.
[[File:JN104.png|thumb|left|250px|Dracovish facing Drasna's Noivern]]
In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Ash used Dracovish as his second Pokémon in his World Coronation Series match against [[Drasna]] at the [[Lumiose Conference|Kalos League]] stadium. It first went up against {{p|Noivern}}, who managed to cut Dracovish's stamina in half with {{m|Super Fang}}, but was so badly hit by Dracovish's Ice Fang in the process that Drasna subsequently [[recall]]ed it and sent out her {{p|Altaria}}, which she soon proceeded to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Although Ash got the idea to drench Altaria's feathers with {{m|Water Gun}}, his strategy to exploit this failed due to him not knowing that Mega Altaria is part {{t|Fairy}} type, rendering Dracovish's Dragon Rush useless against it. As such, Ash chose to then recall Dracovish, but it almost immediately came back out to cheer for Sirfetch'd. After Sirfetch'd had taken Altaria down with it, Dracovish returned to the battle, with Sirfetch'd cheering for it. With this mental support, Dracovish was able to push through Noivern's attacks and defeat it, making Ash the winner of the match and increasing his ranking.
[[File:Ash Dracovish Strong Jaw.png|thumb|250px|Strong Jaw activated]]
In [[JN105]], Ash used Dracovish during his battle against [[Wallace]] in [[Lilycove City]], using it against Wallace's {{p|Walrein}}. Both Pokémon were eventually recalled.

In [[JN114]], Ash visited Pallet Town and introduced his Pokémon to his new friends that he caught during his journey around the world, including Dracovish. During the visit, Dracovish trained with {{AP|Glalie}}. Dracovish then watched Ash's battle against [[Paul]], where he emerged victorious. Before Ash left his hometown, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Dracovish was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. It first battled against {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, managing to deal some damage to it with a powerful Fishious Rend, but was later defeated by {{p|Aggron}} after a collision between {{m|Heavy Slam}} and Dragon Rush.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Dracovish biting leek.png|thumb|left|250px|Dracovish biting Sirfetch'd's leek]]
Dracovish has a habit of nibbling on people's heads, especially Ash. Dracovish even likes playing in places where there is a lot of water to swim in and enjoys spending time with other {{t|Water}} Pokémon, as shown by it hanging out with [[Goh]]'s Water Pokémon at the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. While Dracovish is a somewhat slow swimmer, its strong legs and gills allow it to run underwater at high speeds if it sinks to the bottom. In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', its unusual body composition helped it and Ash come in first in the [[Marine Athletic Race|Kids Marine Athletic Race]].

Dracovish strongly dislikes disappointing Ash, becoming extremely determined to prove itself, as shown in ''On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!'' when it used Fishious Rend after Ash assured it that it was alright if it did not know the move. Dracovish has very powerful jaws, being able to crush boulders with a single bite, and in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' stopped [[Iris's Dragonite]] mid-attack by trapping in its jaws.

Dracovish can be easily distracted; not realizing it had been called out to battle in ''Thrash of the Titans!'' and instead started nibbling on Ash. However it is extremely eager when it comes to Pokémon battles, showing a similar tendency to get fired up like Ash. It rushes to take on opponents during battles such as Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} when it was first revived, and defeated Iris's Dragonite in its first ever official battle.

Dracovish developed a close friendship with {{AP|Sirfetch'd}} after training with it at the [[Lumiose Gym]], especially when Sirfetch'd gave it permission to bite on its leek as thanks for its help in mastering {{m|Meteor Assault}}. Also, during the battle against [[Drasna]] in ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Dracovish stayed out of its Poké Ball to cheer Sirfetch'd on. Dracovish seems to be drawn towards other swaying movements as well, such as the plumage on {{p|Altaria}}'s head, and easily gets the urge to bite down on whatever's making the motion.

'''Ash's Sirfetch'd''' (Japanese: '''サトシのネギガナイト''' ''Satoshi's Negigaknight'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', the first one he caught in the [[Galar]] [[region]], and his fifty-sixth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Ash Farfetch'd.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Farfetch'd]]
{{Ash}} first met {{p|Sirfetch'd}} as a {{p|Farfetch'd}} in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'' during a visit to [[Wyndon]] after hearing about it from a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose {{p|Chewtle}} had been defeated by it. As soon as he and [[Goh]] encountered it, the latter attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it but failed, even when trying to battle it with his Kantonian {{TP|Goh|Farfetch'd}}. Afterwards, Ash battled the Galarian Farfetch'd with his {{AP|Riolu}} and managed to defeat it. After Farfetch'd had been healed in a [[Pokémon Center]], Ash saw its eagerness to have more battles and asked if it wanted to come along with him, which it agreed to.

In ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', Farfetch'd was the first Pokémon that Ash used in his [[World Coronation Series]] battle against [[Bea]] and her {{p|Hawlucha}} at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Despite putting up a tough fight, Farfetch'd found it difficult to keep up with Hawlucha's speed, and it was ultimately defeated.

In ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'', Ash used Farfetch'd in a World Coronation Series battle against [[Dozer]] and his {{p|Gurdurr}} at [[Rock Tunnel]]. Despite Gurdurr's formidable physical strength, Farfetch'd eventually emerged victorious, increasing Ash's ranking. Soon after, Ash was challenged by [[Rinto]] and his {{p|Gallade}}. Gallade easily dodged all of Farfetch'd attacks before using {{m|False Swipe}} on it, taking it down without actually making it [[fainting|faint]].
[[File:Castle of Chivalry Knight Medals.png|thumb|250px|Farfetch'd and Ash with their Knight Medals]]
In ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', Farfetch'd accompanied Ash to [[Kalos]] in order to take on [[Elite Four]] member [[Wikstrom]]'s [[Castle of Chivalry]] training course, along with [[Goh]] and his {{TP|Goh|Scyther}}. During the course's second challenge, a booby-trapped maze, Farfetch'd fell into a trap hole, and although Ash pulled it up, it dropped its leek. Ash jumped down into the hole and managed to return the leek to Farfetch'd. In the third challenge, Farfetch'd took on Wikstrom's {{p|Aegislash}}, while Ash himself engaged Wikstrom in a swordfight. When Ash started to get overpowered, Farfetch'd remembered Ash's selflessness while retrieving its leek and defended him from Wikstrom's sword, at the cost of taking a hit from Aegislash's {{m|Sacred Sword}}. However, Farfetch'd was then able to evade a second Sacred Sword using its newly learned {{m|Detect}}. Farfetch'd then followed through by hitting Aegislash with Brutal Swing and was prepared to attack again when Ash told it to stop as Goh and Scyther were able to retrieve the key and win the challenge.
[[File:Ash Farfetch'd leek shield.png|thumb|left|250px|Farfetch'd using its broken leek as a sword and shield]]
In ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', Farfetch'd battled Rinto and his Gallade in a World Coronation Series match. During the battle, Gallade sliced off the top of Farfetch'd's leek, shocking the Wild Duck Pokémon. Ash was able to overcome this setback by having Farfetch'd mimic Wikstrom's Aegislash and use the cut-off part of its leek as a shield and wielding the remaining part like a sword. With this tactic, Farfetch'd was eventually able to land several [[critical hit]]s on Gallade and evolve into Sirfetch'd as a result. Despite Rinto having Gallade activate {{a|Justified}} to boost his {{stat|attack}} power, Sirfetch'd was still able to overpower Gallade and defeat him, raising Ash's ranking.

In ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the third Pokémon sent out to battle Bea during Ash's second World Coronation Series [[rematch]] against her. It briefly battled her {{p|Machamp}}, blocking a flurry of attacks before outmaneuvering it and dealing [[damage]]. Machamp was subsequently recalled for Hawlucha, who easily avoided Sirfetch'd's attacks and defeated it with {{m|Sky Attack}}.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the first Pokémon Ash used in the [[Raid Battle]] against {{p|Articuno}}, only for it to be immediately defeated by a {{m|Blizzard}} after being released from its {{i|Poké Ball}}.

In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', while Ash was visiting the [[Lumiose Gym]], Sirfetch'd was shown to be on the verge of mastering a new move, which {{an|Clemont}} identified as its [[signature move]], {{m|Meteor Assault}}. With inadvertent help from {{AP|Dracovish}}, Sirfetch'd was able to master the move, and subsequently used it to defeat [[Clemont's Luxray]] in a practice battle.

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the first Pokémon Ash used in his World Coronation Series match against [[Drasna]]. Despite temporarily losing its shield and sword, Sirfetch'd was able to reclaim them and deal some damage to Drasna's {{p|Noivern}} before Ash chose to recall it. He later sent it back out to face Drasna's {{me|Altaria}}, whom it was able to defeat with Meteor Assault before succumbing to the damage it had already taken and fainting as well. Despite this, it still reemerged from its Poké Ball to cheer for Dracovish for the rest of the battle.

In [[JN114]], Ash visited Pallet Town and introduced his Pokémon to his new friends that he caught during his journey around the world, including Sirfetch'd. During the visit, Sirfetch'd trained with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Sceptile}}, and {{AP|Oshawott}}. Sirfetch'd then watched Ash's battle against [[Paul]], where he emerged victorious. Before Ash left his hometown, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.
{{-}}

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Sirfetch'd.png|thumb|250px|Sirfetch'd and Ash]]
Sirfetch'd is a very prideful Pokémon, tending to engage others in {{pkmn|battle}} in order to hone its skills. Even when it is at the brink of defeat, it refuses to give up, pushing its body to the absolute limit. Upon seeing {{Ash}} sharing the same battling spirit and passion, it agreed to join his [[Party|team]], after he offered to help it grow stronger, and it immediately resumed training with {{AP|Riolu}} after its capture.

As shown in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'', Sirfetch'd, as a Farfetch'd, generally acted cold and aloof towards its Trainer–even attacking Ash with its leek–and was only interested in working towards its goal of becoming a Leek Master. It was even seen rushing into battle against Ash's orders, particularly when it is engrossed in a fight. While its raw power was enough to defeat [[Dozer]]'s {{p|Gurdurr}}, it was completely outmatched by [[Rinto]] and {{p|Gallade}}, who were completely in sync with each other.
[[File:Ash and Goh Farfetch'd.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Farfetch'd, facing its regional form]]
However, during [[Wikstrom]]'s [[Castle of Chivalry]] challenge in ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', Farfetch'd started to bond with Ash when he saved it from falling and retrieved its leek for it. Seeing Ash's selflessness, Farfetch'd later defended him from Wikstrom's sword, choosing his safety over a battle victory. Upon evolving, Sirfetch'd began displaying a much more chivalrous and gallant demeanor, as seen when it protected its Trainer from a puddle being splashed by a passing truck while returning from their battle with Rinto. Its swordsmanship has also become much more precise, to the point where it could use the tip of its leek to slice open a letter, as seen in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]''.
[[File:Ash Dracovish biting leek.png|thumb|250px|Sirfetch'd and Dracovish]]
As a Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd appeared to have a mutual rivalry with [[Goh's Farfetch'd|Goh's Kantonian Farfetch'd]]. While the two are normally friendly to each other, they were prone to bickering, which leads to them clashing with their leeks. In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', Sirfetch'd developed a close friendship with [[Ash's Dracovish]], after the Fossil Pokémon inadvertently helped it master {{m|Meteor Assault}}. This was shown again in the [[JN104|following episode]], where it came out of its Poké Ball to cheer Dracovish on during a tough battle.

'''May''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Petalburg City]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She is the daughter of [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]], and her [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{TP|May|Torchic}} given to her by [[Professor Birch]].

Initially on a {{pkmn|journey}} to meet new places, May found her true calling in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and made it her goal to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. She traveled through [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and her little brother, [[Max]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Younger May.png|thumb|220px|May during her childhood]]
May grew up with her mother, [[Caroline]], her father and [[Petalburg City]] Gym Leader, [[Norman]], and brother, [[Max]]. As revealed in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', May when she was younger was playing in the water with some {{p|Tentacool}}, but found herself surround by a horde of them. However, when her parents see this, May's mother Caroline tried to catch her because she mistaken her for a Tentacool. Ever since that experience, May developed a dislike and fear of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
Years later in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', May was old enough to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but she used it as an excuse just so she could travel, even though everyone expected her to follow in her father Norman's footsteps. However, after seeing a [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', she decided to become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] instead. Since May initially knew almost nothing about Pokémon or [[move|attack]]s, Ash assumed the role of her mentor. She gradually gained experience through her {{pkmn|journey}} and practice with Ash.

As a Coordinator, May was able to learn more about Pokémon and form stronger bonds with them. In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after winning the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, May told her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} that she loved it. This is an example of her growth — from someone who initially disliked Pokémon to someone who cared deeply for them.

With her {{cat|May's Pokémon|Pokémon}}, May was able to come up with different [[Contest combination|attack combinations]] to use during her [[Contest Battle]]s. For instance, she would use her {{TP|May|Combusken}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}} and her {{TP|May|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Bubble}} to create a combination of fire and water, dubbed "Fire and Water Whirlwind" by [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], after witnessing [[Tucker]] use it against Ash with a combination of {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This even made a [[Harley|rival]] of hers angry, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move as May did not use it against him.

She also developed a love for making her own [[Pokéblock]]s with recipes that she thought up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: ''Haruka's Delicious'' and ''Haruka's Delicious 2''). Unfortunately, the only ones who liked her "Purple Surprise" were her {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and [[Jessie]]. Her "Pink Surprise" came from the recipe {{an|Professor Oak}} uses to make [[Ash's Snorlax]]'s {{pkmn|food}}. Thus, after May [[AG118|first fed]] it to her Munchlax, it was automatically made full. This Pokéblock was regularly used to feed Munchlax in order to prevent it from eating the food of others.

[[File:Drew and May.png|thumb|left|220px|May and Drew]]
During her journey, she found a [[rival]] in [[Drew]], a skilled and sometimes arrogant Coordinator. Drew became one of her main inspirations to try harder to sharpen her skills as a Coordinator. At first, Drew had claimed that May had "no style" as a Coordinator, but by the end of May's second Contest campaign, when she defeated him in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], he recognized her growth and skill. Another rival of hers, [[Harley]], is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May and has no qualms about cheating or using unfair tactics. An example of Harley's depravity was seen in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', when he recorded Max telling him a story from May's childhood. May had been wearing a blue swimming cap in the ocean, and her mother had mistaken her for a {{p|Tentacool}} from afar and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} May with one of her {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Harley played the recording of this story during the [[Izabe Island]] Pokémon Contest to embarrass May into losing. May was able to beat Harley in the end, but she claimed that she had never been more humiliated. Another example is when Harley joined forces with {{TRT}} in an attempt to sabotage May's performance with Combusken, which ended up contributing to a more dazzling appeal.

At the Kanto Grand Festival, May also competed against [[Solidad]], an experienced Coordinator to whom she lost in the semifinals. At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', she left to compete with Drew, Harley, and Solidad in the [[Johto]] [[region]], aiming to find her own battling style. The decision to stop traveling with Ash was an important one for May's character. Because Ash played the role of a mentor to her through most of the series, she was largely influenced by his offensive battle style. By the end of their journey through Kanto, May had realized that an offensive style was not necessarily the best for her and for Contests. Her constant use of dazzling attacks ultimately proved to be her downfall at the Kanto Grand Festival, when Solidad was able to recognize and counter these moves by leading May to attack and then successfully dodging. Her goal to find her own style was therefore also a goal to improve her Contest Battle skills and ultimately become a [[Top Coordinator]].

May has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in Hoenn, Kanto and Johto. She also has a personal [[List of Japanese ending themes|theme song]], ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'', performed by [[KAORI.]]. It was first used as background music in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' and was used multiple times after that during May's Contest [[Appeal|performances]] and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. The song became the ending theme of the show between ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'' and ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
May reappeared from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' to participate in the [[Wallace Cup]]. During this period, she wore her {{ga|May|game counterpart}}'s outfit from {{game|Emerald}}. She shared that many of her Pokémon had [[Evolution|evolved]] and that she had already won three Johto [[Ribbon]]s. {{an|Dawn}} recognized May upon meeting her and said that some people in the [[Sinnoh]] region called her the "Princess of Hoenn", causing May to blush. During the Wallace Cup, May showed the new style that she had come up after leaving Ash, battling against Dawn's rival [[Zoey]] and winning using her Beautifly. She made it all the way to the finals but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end. Afterwards, May returned to Johto to resume competing in Contests there.

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

[[File:JN105 Wallace Cup flashback.png|thumb|250px|May in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
May reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
May reappeared in a flashback of the Wallace Cup in [[JN105]], alongside Dawn. In the same episode, [[Chloe]] wore a [[Contest Costume]] that {{an|Serena}} mentioned was worn by the "Princess of Hoenn", referencing May's nickname.

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

===Character===
[[File:May and Max BW.png|thumb|220px|left|May and Max]]
May is generally a very sweet and optimistic girl. She enjoys feminine and cute things as well as shopping. In fact, she and Brock occasionally went on shopping trips together throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''. May cares about her appearance, sometimes spending so much time in front of the mirror that it caused her traveling companions to become frustrated with her, such as in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. May also is interested in helping other people with their romantic problems.

Though she is generally kind, she occasionally argues with her little brother, [[Max]]. The two had arguments since Max's debut episode, but one of their most notable was in ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. May's harsh words to Max made him declare that he hated May and he ran away for a portion of the episode. Even though she had been angry, May quickly felt guilty for hurting Max's feelings and became very worried that he would be hurt on his own. In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]'', May revealed that she had promised her mother to always take care of Max on their journey. So even though the siblings had many quarrels, May deeply cares for her brother and would go to great lengths to protect him.
[[File:May rage.png|thumb|220px|May's rage at her loss of food]]
In ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]'', May heard Brock used to act as a cook during Ash's journeys. As she, Max and Ash were hungry, she was the one who asked Brock if he could prepare some food for them. If a person or a Pokémon were to steal her food she would become extremely angry, which was demonstrated numerous times. Food was one of the few things May would become angry about, so it was an important tool to show a different side to her usually cheerful character. When May returned for ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', she expressed excitement over the chance to eat at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], but having her meal stolen made her enraged. She was later shown enjoying a large cookie, once again affirming her love of food and sweets.

[[File:May shopping bags.png|thumb|left|220px|May after shopping]]
When May first left her home, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of a [[Pokémon journey]]. This sparked one of May's most memorable quirks in Hoenn, "May's Expeditions". Starting from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', May would occasionally make a camera lens with her fingers, pretending she was the host of a traveling show. May also didn't like Pokémon, due to the trauma of being swarm around a group of {{p|Tentacool}} when she was little. However, after seeing {{Ash}} risking his life to save his {{AP|Pikachu}} on the day they [[AG001|met]] and formed a close bond with her first two Pokémon, {{TP|May|Torchic}} and {{TP|May|Wurmple}}, May grew to care about Pokémon, which helped her overcome her dislike and fear of them.

As mentioned, May also enjoys making [[Pokéblock]]. She first learned about making Pokéblock in the episode ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' when she met {{ho|Kelly}}. She learned that Kelly's mother owned a Pokéblock shop, and May was curious about it. Kelly then taught her how to use a [[Berry Blender]]. May's first attempt of making a Pokéblock was not successful, but that didn't stop her from trying. In the episode ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', May continued to make Pokéblock, calling the result '''"May's Purple Surprise"'''. However, only her {{TP|May|Munchlax}} had taken a liking to it. Later on, {{an|Professor Oak}} had created a Pokéblock for May, which May calls '''"May's Pink Surprise"''', that is specially made for Munchlax. May uses it to stop her Munchlax from causing too much trouble on many occasions.

In ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', May revealed that she stayed in contact with many of the friends she made through competing in Pokémon Contests, using emails, phone calls and letters. This included Kelly, [[Savannah]], [[Sandra]], [[Timmy Grimm|Timmy]], [[Dr. Abby]] and [[Janet]]. May also said that being friends with the people she met throughout her journey, and knowing they were cheering for her, gave her the confidence to overcome any nervousness she could face.

Throughout her journey with Ash, Brock, and Max, May has changed remarkably as a person and Trainer, but maintains her habit of finding popular food spots and her sweet nature. May has also learned to not take her Pokémon for granted, as seen in ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', when she realized how hard she pushed her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Rubello Town|Rubello]] [[Pokémon Contest]] and that the first [[AG051|two]] [[AG062|ribbons]] that she won were because her Pokémon came through for her. In addition, May has exceptionally improved her battling skills, as shown in her battle against [[Drew]] in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

May's Contest cry is '''"Take the stage!"''' (Japanese: '''ステージ・オン！''' ''Stage On!''). In the English dub, she also uses variations, such as "On stage!"

===Pokémon===
The Pokémon she acquired on the course of her journey appear to resemble Pokémon that Ash had obtained at some point at the beginning of his own journey. At first, she preferred cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and dazzling techniques, but on the course of her journey, she was able to obtain Pokémon outside that preference. She has a tendency to rely on luck, often using her {{TP|May|Skitty}}'s {{m|Assist}} or her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}'s {{m|Metronome}} to win. Most of May's Pokémon were not caught through battle. Unlike many of [[Ash's friends]], May has never had a consistently [[Obedience|disobedient]] Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* May is the first main character other than Ash to own a [[starter Pokémon]].
* May 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 [[Unova]] region.
* May is the first of Ash's traveling companion to be based on a [[player character]] from the {{pkmn|games}}.
* May is the only main character to, upon her introduction, [[Breaking the fourth wall|introduce herself to the audience]] rather than be introduced by the narrator or first appear without an introduction at all.
* May is the only main character, other than Ash, to wear gloves as part of her character design.
* Both of May's unevolved Pokémon are {{t|Normal}} [[type]].
* May was the first character to own a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}, with {{p|Munchlax}}.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, May is the first main character to catch {{TP|May|a Pokémon|Bulbasaur}} that Ash {{AP|has also caught|Bulbasaur}}.
* May has not made any reappearances since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', not counting flashbacks and non-speaking cameos. This could be because her Japanese voice actress, KAORI, came down with a variation of the debilitating disease focal dystonia called spasmotic dysphonia, as early as 2007 (a year before her reappearances in DP), and hitting its peak by May 2012. To date, a replacement has not been cast.<ref>https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/miscellaneous/kaori_hiatus.html</ref>

'''May''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Petalburg City]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She is the daughter of [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]], and her [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{TP|May|Torchic}} given to her by [[Professor Birch]].

Initially on a {{pkmn|journey}} to meet new places, May found her true calling in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and made it her goal to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. She traveled through [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and her little brother, [[Max]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Younger May.png|thumb|220px|May during her childhood]]
May grew up with her mother, [[Caroline]], her father and [[Petalburg City]] Gym Leader, [[Norman]], and brother, [[Max]]. As revealed in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', May when she was younger was playing in the water with some {{p|Tentacool}}, but found herself surround by a horde of them. However, when her parents see this, May's mother Caroline tried to catch her because she mistaken her for a Tentacool. Ever since that experience, May developed a dislike and fear of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
Years later in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', May was old enough to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but she used it as an excuse just so she could travel, even though everyone expected her to follow in her father Norman's footsteps. However, after seeing a [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', she decided to become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] instead. Since May initially knew almost nothing about Pokémon or [[move|attack]]s, Ash assumed the role of her mentor. She gradually gained experience through her {{pkmn|journey}} and practice with Ash.

As a Coordinator, May was able to learn more about Pokémon and form stronger bonds with them. In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after winning the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, May told her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} that she loved it. This is an example of her growth — from someone who initially disliked Pokémon to someone who cared deeply for them.

With her {{cat|May's Pokémon|Pokémon}}, May was able to come up with different [[Contest combination|attack combinations]] to use during her [[Contest Battle]]s. For instance, she would use her {{TP|May|Combusken}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}} and her {{TP|May|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Bubble}} to create a combination of fire and water, dubbed "Fire and Water Whirlwind" by [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], after witnessing [[Tucker]] use it against Ash with a combination of {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This even made a [[Harley|rival]] of hers angry, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move as May did not use it against him.

She also developed a love for making her own [[Pokéblock]]s with recipes that she thought up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: ''Haruka's Delicious'' and ''Haruka's Delicious 2''). Unfortunately, the only ones who liked her "Purple Surprise" were her {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and [[Jessie]]. Her "Pink Surprise" came from the recipe {{an|Professor Oak}} uses to make [[Ash's Snorlax]]'s {{pkmn|food}}. Thus, after May [[AG118|first fed]] it to her Munchlax, it was automatically made full. This Pokéblock was regularly used to feed Munchlax in order to prevent it from eating the food of others.

[[File:Drew and May.png|thumb|left|220px|May and Drew]]
During her journey, she found a [[rival]] in [[Drew]], a skilled and sometimes arrogant Coordinator. Drew became one of her main inspirations to try harder to sharpen her skills as a Coordinator. At first, Drew had claimed that May had "no style" as a Coordinator, but by the end of May's second Contest campaign, when she defeated him in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], he recognized her growth and skill. Another rival of hers, [[Harley]], is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May and has no qualms about cheating or using unfair tactics. An example of Harley's depravity was seen in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', when he recorded Max telling him a story from May's childhood. May had been wearing a blue swimming cap in the ocean, and her mother had mistaken her for a {{p|Tentacool}} from afar and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} May with one of her {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Harley played the recording of this story during the [[Izabe Island]] Pokémon Contest to embarrass May into losing. May was able to beat Harley in the end, but she claimed that she had never been more humiliated. Another example is when Harley joined forces with {{TRT}} in an attempt to sabotage May's performance with Combusken, which ended up contributing to a more dazzling appeal.

At the Kanto Grand Festival, May also competed against [[Solidad]], an experienced Coordinator to whom she lost in the semifinals. At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', she left to compete with Drew, Harley, and Solidad in the [[Johto]] [[region]], aiming to find her own battling style. The decision to stop traveling with Ash was an important one for May's character. Because Ash played the role of a mentor to her through most of the series, she was largely influenced by his offensive battle style. By the end of their journey through Kanto, May had realized that an offensive style was not necessarily the best for her and for Contests. Her constant use of dazzling attacks ultimately proved to be her downfall at the Kanto Grand Festival, when Solidad was able to recognize and counter these moves by leading May to attack and then successfully dodging. Her goal to find her own style was therefore also a goal to improve her Contest Battle skills and ultimately become a [[Top Coordinator]].

May has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in Hoenn, Kanto and Johto. She also has a personal [[List of Japanese ending themes|theme song]], ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'', performed by [[KAORI.]]. It was first used as background music in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' and was used multiple times after that during May's Contest [[Appeal|performances]] and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. The song became the ending theme of the show between ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'' and ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
May reappeared from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' to participate in the [[Wallace Cup]]. During this period, she wore her {{ga|May|game counterpart}}'s outfit from {{game|Emerald}}. She shared that many of her Pokémon had [[Evolution|evolved]] and that she had already won three Johto [[Ribbon]]s. {{an|Dawn}} recognized May upon meeting her and said that some people in the [[Sinnoh]] region called her the "Princess of Hoenn", causing May to blush. During the Wallace Cup, May showed the new style that she had come up after leaving Ash, battling against Dawn's rival [[Zoey]] and winning using her Beautifly. She made it all the way to the finals but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end. Afterwards, May returned to Johto to resume competing in Contests there.

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

[[File:JN105 Wallace Cup flashback.png|thumb|250px|May in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
May reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
May reappeared in a flashback of the Wallace Cup in [[JN105]], alongside Dawn. In the same episode, [[Chloe]] wore a [[Contest Costume]] that {{an|Serena}} mentioned was worn by the "Princess of Hoenn", referencing May's nickname.

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

===Character===
[[File:May and Max BW.png|thumb|220px|left|May and Max]]
May is generally a very sweet and optimistic girl. She enjoys feminine and cute things as well as shopping. In fact, she and Brock occasionally went on shopping trips together throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''. May cares about her appearance, sometimes spending so much time in front of the mirror that it caused her traveling companions to become frustrated with her, such as in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. May also is interested in helping other people with their romantic problems.

Though she is generally kind, she occasionally argues with her little brother, [[Max]]. The two had arguments since Max's debut episode, but one of their most notable was in ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. May's harsh words to Max made him declare that he hated May and he ran away for a portion of the episode. Even though she had been angry, May quickly felt guilty for hurting Max's feelings and became very worried that he would be hurt on his own. In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]'', May revealed that she had promised her mother to always take care of Max on their journey. So even though the siblings had many quarrels, May deeply cares for her brother and would go to great lengths to protect him.
[[File:May rage.png|thumb|220px|May's rage at her loss of food]]
In ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]'', May heard Brock used to act as a cook during Ash's journeys. As she, Max and Ash were hungry, she was the one who asked Brock if he could prepare some food for them. If a person or a Pokémon were to steal her food she would become extremely angry, which was demonstrated numerous times. Food was one of the few things May would become angry about, so it was an important tool to show a different side to her usually cheerful character. When May returned for ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', she expressed excitement over the chance to eat at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], but having her meal stolen made her enraged. She was later shown enjoying a large cookie, once again affirming her love of food and sweets.

[[File:May shopping bags.png|thumb|left|220px|May after shopping]]
When May first left her home, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of a [[Pokémon journey]]. This sparked one of May's most memorable quirks in Hoenn, "May's Expeditions". Starting from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', May would occasionally make a camera lens with her fingers, pretending she was the host of a traveling show. May also didn't like Pokémon, due to the trauma of being swarm around a group of {{p|Tentacool}} when she was little. However, after seeing {{Ash}} risking his life to save his {{AP|Pikachu}} on the day they [[AG001|met]] and formed a close bond with her first two Pokémon, {{TP|May|Torchic}} and {{TP|May|Wurmple}}, May grew to care about Pokémon, which helped her overcome her dislike and fear of them.

As mentioned, May also enjoys making [[Pokéblock]]. She first learned about making Pokéblock in the episode ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' when she met {{ho|Kelly}}. She learned that Kelly's mother owned a Pokéblock shop, and May was curious about it. Kelly then taught her how to use a [[Berry Blender]]. May's first attempt of making a Pokéblock was not successful, but that didn't stop her from trying. In the episode ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', May continued to make Pokéblock, calling the result '''"May's Purple Surprise"'''. However, only [[May's Munchlax]] had taken a liking to it. Later on, {{an|Professor Oak}} had created a Pokéblock for May, which May calls '''"May's Pink Surprise"''', that is specially made for Munchlax. May uses it to stop her Munchlax from causing too much trouble on many occasions.

In ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', May revealed that she stayed in contact with many of the friends she made through competing in Pokémon Contests, using emails, phone calls and letters. This included Kelly, [[Savannah]], [[Sandra]], [[Timmy Grimm|Timmy]], [[Dr. Abby]] and [[Janet]]. May also said that being friends with the people she met throughout her journey, and knowing they were cheering for her, gave her the confidence to overcome any nervousness she could face.

Throughout her journey with Ash, Brock, and Max, May has changed remarkably as a person and Trainer, but maintains her habit of finding popular food spots and her sweet nature. May has also learned to not take her Pokémon for granted, as seen in ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', when she realized how hard she pushed her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Rubello Town|Rubello]] [[Pokémon Contest]] and that the first [[AG051|two]] [[AG062|ribbons]] that she won were because her Pokémon came through for her. In addition, May has exceptionally improved her battling skills, as shown in her battle against [[Drew]] in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

May's Contest cry is '''"Take the stage!"''' (Japanese: '''ステージ・オン！''' ''Stage On!''). In the English dub, she also uses variations, such as "On stage!"

===Pokémon===
The Pokémon she acquired on the course of her journey appear to resemble Pokémon that Ash had obtained at some point at the beginning of his own journey. At first, she preferred cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and dazzling techniques, but on the course of her journey, she was able to obtain Pokémon outside that preference. She has a tendency to rely on luck, often using her {{TP|May|Skitty}}'s {{m|Assist}} or her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}'s {{m|Metronome}} to win. Most of May's Pokémon were not caught through battle. Unlike many of [[Ash's friends]], May has never had a consistently [[Obedience|disobedient]] Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* May is the first main character other than Ash to own a [[starter Pokémon]].
* May 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 [[Unova]] region.
* May is the first of Ash's traveling companion to be based on a [[player character]] from the {{pkmn|games}}.
* May is the only main character to, upon her introduction, [[Breaking the fourth wall|introduce herself to the audience]] rather than be introduced by the narrator or first appear without an introduction at all.
* May is the only main character, other than Ash, to wear gloves as part of her character design.
* Both of May's unevolved Pokémon are {{t|Normal}} [[type]].
* May was the first character to own a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}, with {{p|Munchlax}}.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, May is the first main character to catch {{TP|May|a Pokémon|Bulbasaur}} that Ash {{AP|has also caught|Bulbasaur}}.
* May has not made any reappearances since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', not counting flashbacks and non-speaking cameos. This could be because her Japanese voice actress, KAORI, came down with a variation of the debilitating disease focal dystonia called spasmotic dysphonia, as early as 2007 (a year before her reappearances in DP), and hitting its peak by May 2012. To date, a replacement has not been cast.<ref>https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/miscellaneous/kaori_hiatus.html</ref>

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
No sooner have {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] arrived at [[Wyndon Stadium]] for the long-awaited [[World Coronation Series]] [[Masters Tournament]] that a boy runs up to them and demands a {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash, despite being fully aware of his status as a member of the Master Class. Not one to turn down a challenge, Ash immediately accepts, but the match ends up being short-lived, as {{AP|Pikachu}} defeats the boy's {{p|Wooloo}} with a single {{m|Iron Tail}}. To Ash and Goh's surprise, the boy reveals that he's {{an|Leon}}'s younger brother, [[Hop]]. Having sworn to be the one to defeat his big brother, Hop challenged Ash to test out the strength of the person his elder sibling is always talking about. Hearing that Leon talks about him makes Ash super excited. Nearby, {{TRT}} is hosting a live stream of [[JN106|their radio show]] to cover the tournament, although their main goal is to scout out strong Pokémon for them to steal.

After reuniting with {{an|Iris}} on his way to the locker room and the rest of the Master Class in said room, Ash joins them for the opening ceremony. One by one, the announcer introduces the Masters Eight to the audience: Ash, the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Alola]]; Iris, the aspiring [[Type expert|Dragon Master]] and young Champion of [[Unova]]; [[Alain]], a [[Mega Stone]] excavator and the winner of the [[Lumiose Conference]]; [[Diantha]], the world-famous actress and Champion of [[Kalos]]; {{an|Lance}}, a member of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] and the newly crowned Champion of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]; {{an|Steven Stone}}, the heir of the [[Devon Corporation]] and the Champion of [[Hoenn]]; {{an|Cynthia}}, the world's renowned authority in Pokémon archeology and the Champion of [[Sinnoh]]; and finally Leon, the undefeated [[Galar]] Champion and the reigning Monarch. Leon invites all the other competitors to face him with their full strength, declaring he and his team will battle anyone and emerge victorious. With the introductions done, the matchups of the first round are selected via random shuffle. In the first battle, Leon will battle Alain; the second match will have Lance and Diantha facing each other; Cynthia will face Iris in the third match, much to the latter's worry; and Steven is pitted against Ash for the fourth match. Steven expresses positivity at the chance to finally have a battle against Ash. While the other Champions return to the locker room to wait for their respective turns, Ash joins Goh and Hop in the stands to experience the atmosphere of the battle first-hand. When questioned by Cynthia why she doesn't join them, Iris reveals her hopes to take a picture with her and Diantha, a request both women are fully happy to oblige. Lance and Steven discuss the latter's familiarity with Alain. Though Steven acknowledges that Alain is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}, facing Leon in the first round could be overwhelming for him.

Leon and Alain enter the battlefield to begin their match. [[Gym guide|Dan]] recites the rules: the matches in the first round will be three-on-three with no restrictions on time or [[Recall|exchanges]]. In addition, each Trainer is allowed only one use of either [[Dynamax]], [[Z-Move]]s, or [[Mega Evolution]]. At his signal, the two Trainers send out their first Pokémon, with Alain leading with {{p|Chesnaught}} and Leon choosing {{p|Rillaboom}}, making the first match-up a clash between {{t|Grass}} types. Alain makes the first move with {{m|Hammer Arm}}, which Rillaboom defends against successfully. Leon surprises everyone by going for his [[Gigantamax]] right off the bat, summoning Gigantamax Rillaboom onto the battlefield. His first attack comes in the form of a {{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}. While the [[G-Max Move]] is able to partially penetrate Chesnaught's {{m|Spiky Shield}}, the {{pkmn|category|Spiny Armor Pokémon}} still withstands it, just like Alain had planned. Rillaboom next attacks with {{m|Max Airstream}}, which Chesnaught rides with {{m|Gyro Ball}}. Chesnaught manages to land the attack on its foe, though backstage, Diantha notes that Rillaboom's {{stat|Speed}} has now increased as a result of Max Airstream. After blocking Chesnaught's {{m|Pin Missile}} with {{m|Max Quake}}, Rillaboom reverts to its normal form and proceeds to use its Speed increase to outmaneuver Chesnaught's second Gyro Ball and defeat it with {{m|Acrobatics}}, giving Leon the first knockout. Steven and Lance note that Leon was one step ahead of Alain in the Grass-type showdown, signaled by Rillaboom's knowledge of Acrobatics.

Alain's next choice is his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, drawing the excitement of Ash, who reveals to Goh and Hop that he has battled Alain's Charizard [[S19|many times in the past]]. Noticing the fire in Charizard's eyes, Leon is eager to test the strength of his next opponent. Charizard easily powers through Rillaboom's {{m|Drum Beating}} with {{m|Flare Blitz}} and deals a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} hit, taking Rillaboom out and evening the odds. Leon responds by sending out his own {{p|Charizard}}. However, after {{m|Dragon Claw}} is dodged and his Charizard takes a hit from {{m|Air Slash}}, Alain figures he can't get close enough and recalls Charizard in favor of {{p|Malamar}}, hoping to use it to turn things around. This hope is soon crushed, however, as Malamar's {{m|Psycho Cut}} is blocked by a {{m|Fire Blast}}, and the Overturning Pokémon's attempt to use {{m|Throat Chop}} ends with it being grabbed and taken down by a close-range Fire Blast, leaving Alain with just his Charizard, which rejoins the battle while Leon announces that he will keep his own Charizard out. Alain declares that it's his goal to surpass Leon's Charizard and uses his [[Mega Ring]] to Mega Evolve his partner into Mega Charizard X, much to Ash's thrill. Alain's Charizard powers through its opponent's {{m|Ancient Power}} with Dragon Claw and deals a successful hit, but its subsequent Flare Blitz results in it getting struck by a point-blank super effective {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, defeating it and eliminating Alain from the tournament.

With Leon moving on to the semifinals, the first battle of the first round of the Masters Tournament has come to a close. Alain accepts his loss and swears to redo his {{pkmn|training}} in preparation for a [[rematch]]. To decide Leon's next opponent, Lance and Diantha leave the locker room and step out onto the battlefield, preparing to start their own battle.

'''Lana''' (Japanese: '''スイレン''' ''Suiren'') is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]] and one of {{ashcl|Ash's former classmates}}. She made her debut in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Young Lana anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Lana when she was younger]]
Lana lives with her [[Lana's mother|mother]], [[Lana's father|father]], and younger twin sisters [[Harper and Sarah]]. Prior to enrolling at the [[Pokémon School]], Lana first met Mallow when they were younger and instantly became best friends, after they had an adventure together in a forest and met a resident {{p|Drampa}}, which was eventually [[nickname]]d [[Grandpa Forest]].

Years later, Lana rescued a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} from being harassed by a gang of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s and nursed it back to health at a [[Pokémon Center]]. Immediately afterwards, the two became good friends and partners.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''===
Lana debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where she met {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} while fishing with Popplio on a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Lapras}}. She and Ash met again at the Pokémon School, where Ash decided to join her class to study the Pokémon of [[Alola]] under their teacher {{an|Professor Kukui}}.

In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', Lana participated in the surprise welcome party her class threw for Ash to celebrate his enrollment into the school. She challenged Ash to a Pokémon swimming contest as his third "surprise", which Popplio won due to its superior swimming ability. She later bore witness to Ash and Pikachu's {{pkmn|battle}} against {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Melemele.

In ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', Lana received help from Ash while training Popplio how to blow human-sized water balloons, revealing her dream to one day use them to explore the ocean depths and discover new undersea Pokémon. She was also chosen to give a class lecture on sea Pokémon, loaning Ash a [[fishing]] rod at her house and introducing him to her sisters. During the lecture, the class's Ride Pokémon were caught in a net by {{TRT}}, who infuriated Lana with their disregard for the other Pokémon they had inadvertently caught. Together with Ash, she was able to bring the captured Pokémon to safety by using Popplio's water balloons.

In ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', Lana found a [[Sparkling Stone]] during one of her treasure hunts with a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Stoutland}} on [[Akala Island]]. [[Olivia]] took it and turned it into a [[Z-Ring]] for Lana.

In ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', Lana took part in a [[island challenge|trial]] at [[Brooklet Hill]] where she earned a [[Waterium Z]] from battling a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Wishiwashi}} with Popplio. Near the end of the episode, Olivia gave the Z-Ring to Lana, which she had just successfully converted from the Sparkling Stone.

In ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', Lana and Popplio were practicing their [[Z-Move]] at the beach with Ash and Mallow, but were unsuccessful. Nearby, they noticed a crowd watching a performer named [[Ida]] with her {{p|Brionne}}. Lana was intrigued and insisted Ida to be her tutor. They then trained for days. One day when they were out in the sea looking for treasure with Ida and [[Kanoa]], they got in trouble with a {{p|Dhelmise}}. Lana and Popplio then attempted {{m|Hydro Vortex}} again and succeeded, defeating the anchor Pokémon in the process.

From ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Lana was among those who helped {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Gladion}} in their mission to rescue their mother {{an|Lusamine}} after Lusamine was kidnapped by the {{an|Ultra Beast}} {{p|Nihilego}}. In [[Ultra Deep Sea]], her Popplio, along with [[Ash's Litten]] and {{AP|Rowlet}}, and Mallow and {{an|Sophocles}}'s Pokémon, fought and overcame Lusamine's {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under Nihilego's control. During the battle, Lana and Popplio used Hydro Vortex on Mismagius. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its grasp.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Lana attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet}}. During the post-nuptials, Lusamine asked Lana and her classmates to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to dealing with any upcoming Ultra Beast incidents, which they accepted.

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

In ''[[SM071|Dewpider Ascending!]]'', a wild {{p|Dewpider}} ended up falling for Lana after seeing her with one of Popplio's water bubbles on her head. Later, when the Dewpider fought a {{p|Surskit}} for the ownership of a pond near the Pokémon School, Lana encouraged it to keep fighting. Despite this, the Surskit won the battle, causing to evolve into a {{p|Masquerain}}. Happy with its new form, Masquerain abandoned the pond, allowing Dewpider to make the area its new home.

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', Lana 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 {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Blacephalon}}. The Ultra Guardians set off to find {{p|Blacephalon}}, but their efforts to track it down only led to a different Ultra Beast, later named {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Xurkitree}} by Lusamine. Eventually, Lana managed to catch {{p|Xurkitree}} while Lillie caught Blacephalon, allowing the two Ultra Beasts to be later released back to their homes.

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, Lana 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|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Light trio (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 {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. After Ash and Gladion used Nebby and Lunala to replenish Necrozma's strength to revert it to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}, it restored [[Poipole's world]] back to its original state. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.
[[File:Lana Family.png|thumb|250px|Lana and her family]]
In ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', Lana went to buy [[malasada]]s for a dinner with her family meant to celebrate [[Lana's father|her father]]'s return from a fishing trip. When she asked Popplio what flavor malasada it wanted, she noticed that it had disappeared. As she searched for Popplio, Lana met up with her classmates, who agreed to help look around. Eventually, they found Popplio at the Hau'oli City Beachfront trying to defend a wild {{p|Eevee}} from [[Tupp]], [[Rapp]], and [[Zipp]]. With its newly learned {{m|Surf}}, Popplio created a platform of water for Eevee to jump on, allowing him to use a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}} and send the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s blasting off. After some encouragement from her friends, Lana asked Eevee if he wanted to join her team, which he happily accepted. Eevee was [[nickname]]d [[Sandy]] and caught in a [[Dive Ball]]. After returning home, Lana introduced Sandy as her new friend and partner to her father, who recognized him [[Mantine Surf|surfing]] on a {{OBP|Mantine|recurring}} earlier. Lana gave Sandy a haircut, cutting his long bangs to a shorter length resembling her own hair.
[[File:Lana Primarium Z.png|thumb|250px|left|Lana admiring her Primarium Z]]
In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Lana and her classmates headed over to Poni Island for their individual research projects for school. Her research project's plans were to meet up Ida and catch up with her.

In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', Lana met up with Ida and realized that her Brionne had evolved into Primarina. Lana then trained with Ida while Mallow and Lillie watched. Later at night, Lana observed Ida and her Primarina as they performed their Z-Move, {{m|Oceanic Operetta}}. Wanting to show Ida how much she and Popplio have grown, Lana decided to do some training of her own. Before Ida left to search for treasure again, Lana arrived at the pier just in time to show Ida her growth by having her Popplio create a big balloon, which resulted in it evolving into Brionne. Impressed, Ida gave Lana a [[Primarium Z]] so she could do Oceanic Operetta someday.

In ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', Lana, Sandy, Ash, and Pikachu were playing in Brionne's balloons when they were sucked into a whirlpool and landed near a coral area. There, they encountered a {{p|Kyogre}} that was {{status|poison}}ed and being chased by a {{OBP|hunter|SM120}} and [[Hunter's underlings|his underlings]]. Lana tried to cure Kyogre's poison by using a [[Antidote]] placed on a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] that was given to her by {{an|Misty}} while Ash and their Pokémon battled the hunters. However, after the [[Legendary Pokémon]] was cured, Lana was dragged underwater by it when it went out of control. Brionne went after her and, through its determination to help her, evolved into Primarina. Through their teamwork, Lana and Primarina were able to calm Kyogre down after Primarina sang to it. It then departed, allowing Lana and Ash to reunite with their friends.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Lana was among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]]. Using Sandy, Lana was among the 16 Trainers still standing at the end of the round. The match-ups for the next round revealed that she would be battling Mallow.

In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Lana battled Mallow during the first round of the Manalo Conference. Despite her Primarina being at a type disadvantage against [[Mallow's Tsareena]], Lana held the upper hand throughout the battle, having even taught Primarina {{m|Icy Wind}} to fight {{type|Grass}} opponents. When Mallow considered forfeiting, Lana pointed out how Tsareena wanted to keep fighting, even to the point of refusing to be [[recall]]ed. Lana's words and Tsareena's actions encouraged Mallow, and she and Tsareena executed their first successful {{m|Bloom Doom}}. However, Lana and Primarina canceled out the move with Oceanic Operetta, and defeated Tsareena with {{m|Aqua Jet}} after the latter fell from exhaustion, allowing Lana to advance to the second round. It was later revealed that Lana's next opponent would be [[Guzma]].

In ''[[SM134|The Road to The Semifinals!]]'', Lana's battle with Guzma began. Despite suffering from {{status|poison}} and temporarily being unable to use its singing voice due to {{m|Throat Chop}}, Primarina kept Guzma's {{p|Golisopod}} frozen in place with Icy Wind, long enough for it and Lana to launch an Oceanic Operetta. Before the Z-Move could be completed, however, Guzma had Golisopod tear through it with {{m|Liquidation}}, hitting Primarina and knocking it out, thus eliminating Lana from the tournament.

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Lana attended the award ceremony for Ash's victory in the Manalo Conference, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through a wormhole. In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Lana helped evacuate innocent civilians to safety. When a second, {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} appeared in the shopping area, Lana, Lillie, Sophocles, and Mallow helped Kiawe, Gladion, and [[Hau]] battle it. By combining their Z-Moves into one giant attack, Lana and the others managed to successfully knock the Shiny Guzzlord back into Ultra Space.

In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', with the Alola League over, Lana and her classmates returned to their usual routine at the Pokémon School. When asked what she planned on doing for the upcoming vacation, Lana revealed that she would be doing an ocean survey with her father to search for {{p|Manaphy}}.
[[File:Lana and Chloe.png|thumb|250px|Lana and Chloe]]
In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Lillie revealed that she would be leaving on a journey with Gladion and Lusamine to find her missing father [[Mohn]] with the help of the {{DL|Mohn|Magearna}} she awakened. The next day, Lana and the others said farewell to Lillie, taking one last photo with her before she and her family left on a cruise ship. As he flew back home, Ash was greeted by his classmates and Alolan Pokémon, who flew by in their Ultra Guardians uniforms to give him one final farewell. Sometime later, Lana said her goodbyes to Mallow, promising to bring her a {{wp|Gyotaku|fish print}} of Manaphy once she and her father finished their survey.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Lana saved [[Goh]] from drowning while fishing. She later participated in a welcome party for Ash and Goh and surprised everyone by reading a letter from Lillie. She also watched the battle between Goh and Kiawe.

In [[JN112]], Lana attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family to Alola after they found Mohn, reuniting with Lillie, Ash, and Goh and meeting [[Chloe]]. Chloe asked Lana advice regarding what form her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} should evolve into, with Lana opening her eyes for the possibility of not evolving it at all. The next day, Lana watched a [[Battle Royal]] match between Ash, Kiawe, Gladion, and Professor Kukui.

==Character==
[[File:Young Mallow Lana.png|thumb|250px|left|Lana and {{an|Mallow}} when they became friends]]
Lana is a calm and gentle girl who cares deeply for Pokémon, particularly {{t|Water}}-types. As such, she enjoys many seafaring activities, such as [[fishing]] while [[Poké Ride|riding]] on {{p|Lapras}}. Her love for Pokémon runs deep to the point where she grows incensed at the sight of cruelty against Pokémon, speaking in a hushed tone of voice and shooting an icy glare towards the aggressors. She is highly protective of her Pokémon if they are in danger. This was seen again in ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'', when she became concerned about them when they were surrounded by {{type|Ghost}}s. When she isn't concerned for the well-being of Pokémon, she takes many measures to keep them happy, such as when she turned the [[Pokémon School]] into a haunted house for them so they could enjoy themselves.
[[File:Lana catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Lana after catching a Pokémon]]
When Lana was young, she used to be rather shy. This was best demonstrated during a flashback in ''[[SM059|Tasting the Bitter with the Sweet!]]''; when she first encountered Mallow, she initially called her "Miss Family Restaurant" (Japanese: '''アイナ{{tt|食堂|しょくどう}}さん''' ''Miss Aina Cafeteria''), but when Mallow said she can call her Mallow, she became nervous and her face turned red. Lana's friendship with Mallow is strong, as seen in ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', where Lana is the only one Mallow has confided in about the death of [[Mallow's mother|her mother]], and helped comfort Mallow over it.

Lana is an expert at fishing, as shown in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', where {{an|Professor Kukui}} had her teach the class on fishing and managed to hook several Pokémon quickly such as {{p|Alomomola}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Finneon}} and [[SM033|later]] surprised the [[Fishing Expert]] by quickly catching a {{p|Feebas}}.
[[File:Lana and her Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|left|Lana's team]]
She tends to get annoyed and flustered by her sisters and their antics. Despite this, she still cares for them; once, she was concerned when she saw them jumping on the back of [[Kiawe's Turtonator]], fearing they would touch its spines. It wasn't until ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'' that she had finally found the secret to stopping their antics, which involves forcefully yelling at them with a scary demeanor.

She cares deeply for her Pokémon, as shown in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', when her Popplio became separated from her along with {{AP|Rowlet}}, to the point where she has to drag Ash along when they go searching for their Pokémon. This was shown again in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', when [[Sandy]] tried to save a school of {{p|Mantine}} from Team Rocket; he was repelled by their mecha, but Lana caught him in time and praised him for his efforts.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Lana and Misty]]
Lana has extraordinarily high courage, as seen in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''; whilst Mallow, Lillie, and {{an|Misty}} ran away after being scared by a {{p|Gyarados}}, she remained still and then, after changing into her swimsuit, jumped into the lake that Gyarados appeared from in search of Popplio. She is also quite athletic, as seen in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where she was able to jump over 12 steps of a vaulting box which surprised everyone.

While sincere most of the time, she also has a playful side, oftentimes telling outrageous jokes such as being able to catch [[Legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Kyogre}}, something that ironically comes true in ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]''. She has a tendency to inadvertently tell the truth when she makes things up, as seen in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]''. This personality trait appears to have been inherited from [[Lana's mother|her mother]], who does the same thing.

Since meeting Misty in ''Alola, Kanto!'', Lana had become very good friends with her, even writing to each other. This was revealed in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', when she invited Misty and {{an|Brock}} to come and visit Alola. The fact that Lana keeps in touch with her friends was further expanded in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', where it was revealed she had been keeping in contact with her master [[Ida]] by writing her letters. This was shown again in ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', when Lana received a letter from {{an|Lillie}} while she was traveling with her family to find her missing father [[Mohn]].

When not in use, it resides in the water next to Lana's house.

Lapras was used again in ''[[SM026|So Long, Sophocles!]]'' where Lana took {{an|Sophocles}} and {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} out to sea so that they could see a {{p|Wailord}} breaching out of the water.

It briefly appeared in the [[Poké Problem]] segment of [[SM079]], residing in the water next to Lana's house as [[Lana's mother]] and [[Harper and Sarah|sisters]] were watching the {{p|Minior}} shower.

==Plot==
A conversation between [[Chloe]] and [[Chrysa]] leads to Chrysa mentioning that her friend [[Kiley]], the {{p|Vaporeon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} whom Chloe met [[JN063|a while back]], has told her that a {{p|Sylveon}} and its Trainer are garnering attention around his home at [[Lilycove City]] in [[Hoenn]], thanks to their success in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Since Sylveon is the last one of [[Eeveelution|Eevee's evolutions]] that Chloe has yet to meet, she happily decides to go see it. [[Professor Cerise]] enters the conversation and tells Chloe that {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] are also on their way to Lilycove, as Goh is eager to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} himself an {{p|Altaria}}, inspired to do so after seeing the Altaria that [[JN104|Ash recently battled against]]. Chloe happily agrees to join up with them, and heads to Lilycove City right away.
[[File:Chloe Contest Pass.png|thumb|left|250px|Chloe receiving a Contest Pass]]
Arriving in Lilycove, Chloe decides to visit the local [[Contest Hall]], where she finds loads of people gathering around Contest idol [[Lisia]], who is preparing to do one of her usual Contest scouts to seek out a person and introduce them to Contesting. Her eyes soon land on Chloe, and after she learns that Chloe has never been in a Contest before, Lisia declares her as the one she'll be scouting today. Ash and Goh, right as Goh's attempt to catch an Altaria ends in failure, are surprised to see Chloe on [[television|TV]], witnessing how Lisia hands her a [[Contest Pass]] and a [[Pokéblock Case]] and encourages her to participate in a Contest Spectacular before leaving, ignoring Chloe's uncertainty about the sudden request.

[[Chloe's Eevee]] senses something, leading her Trainer to the {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}} she had heard of. Sylveon's Trainer, {{an|Serena}}, recognizes Chloe from Lisia's TV broadcast. Chloe is left embarrassed by this, but she's nevertheless happy to have found the Sylveon she came to meet, eager to let her Eevee see Sylveon perform. She explains to Serena that she's letting her Eevee choose what she wants to [[Evolution|evolve]] into, instead of making the choice herself as her Trainer. Serena likes the idea, but also points out that while it might sound easy, it's actually very difficult. Using her Sylveon as an example, she mentions how [[XY089|she first met her]] as a dancing {{p|Eevee}} and invited her to join her. As they traveled together, their hearts bonded, eventually resulting in Eevee [[XY105|evolving]] into Sylveon. Chloe's Eevee, though, hasn't decided what she wants to evolve into yet, and likewise, Chloe herself hasn't yet really chosen a path for herself, so she asks what got Serena into Contests. To Chloe's surprise, Serena sees Chloe's uncertainty similar to her own indecisiveness early on in her {{pkmn|journey}}, when she too was struggling to find a path for herself. But then she had found out about [[Pokémon Performer]]s, and decided to become one herself to give strength to other people.

Chloe's [[Rotom Phone]] starts ringing with an incoming call from Goh, who tells her that he and Ash will be heading to the Contest Hall to watch the Contest she'll be participating in. Chloe agrees to meet them there, but as the call ends, she expresses her uncertainty at participating. Serena says that she should keep moving, despite her hesitation, as even failing is better than no experience at all. Serena's speech motivates Chloe into giving it a try, and Serena agrees to help her in her preparations.
[[File:JN105 Wallace Cup flashback.png|thumb|250px|Ash remembering the Wallace Cup]]
Meanwhile, Ash and Goh are running towards the Contest Hall. Before they can reach it, however, they're called to stop by [[Wallace]]. Ash, however, fails to recognize him and tries to move on, but Wallace stops him again, reminding him of the time when he with {{ashfr}} {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}} [[S11|participated]] in his eponymous [[Wallace Cup]], finally making Ash remember him. He and Goh try to move on again, but Wallace stops them once more. He reveals that he's been following Ash's progress in the [[World Coronation Series]], and while he's not competing in it himself, he wants to {{pkmn|battle}} Ash here and now. He boasts that he can hold his own against Hoenn's {{pkmn|Champion}}, whom Ash immediately remembers to be {{an|Steven Stone}}. Wallace is irritated that Ash remembered Steven right away while struggling to remember him, but still keeps his cool. Ash, impressed by Wallace's revelation, happily accepts his challenge, much to Goh's exasperation.

At the Contest Hall, Serena helps Chloe pick herself a [[Contest Costume]] and gives her Eevee an ear decoration. The Contest Spectacular kicks off while Ash and Wallace's battle is underway, forcing Goh to watch the performances from his Rotom Phone. Watching the other {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s perform, Chloe grows nervous, but Serena encourages her to trust in Eevee, revealing that her Sylveon was also nervous when [[XY101|she made her debut on stage]]. Come her turn, Chloe enters the stage, and while nervous at first, she thinks back to all of her meetings with Eevee's evolutions, and musters her courage to perform. She has Eevee use {{m|Fairy Wind}}, {{m|Copycat|mimicked}} from Serena's Sylveon, before using {{m|Tackle}} on the wind. At the [[Cerise Laboratory]], Professor Cerise is surprised to see Chloe performing in a Contest, and ends up falling on his knees in relief when Chloe's performance is successful. With Ash and Wallace's battle, both sides [[recall]] their current Pokémon, but just when Goh thinks the match is over, the two send out a new pair of Pokémon, causing Goh to sink back into his exasperated state.
[[File:Serena Party.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena and her team ready to perform]]
With the {{OBP|Rank|Contest|Normal Rank}} performances completed, the Contest Spectacular moves on into the Master Rank, with Serena being the first one to perform. Her [[Party|team]] of {{TP|Serena|Delphox}}, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, and Sylveon puts up a beautiful display of [[move]] combinations, making the audience cheer loudly for her and leaving Chloe awestruck. Following Serena, Lisia enters the stage as the final competitor, and the audience goes wild at seeing the [[region]]'s top idol in front of them. Lisia has her Altaria, Ali, envelop the stage in a beautiful {{m|Mist}} before [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] her partner and having it use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Meanwhile, [[Ash's Pikachu]] defeats Wallace's {{p|Milotic}}, concluding the battle. Goh tries to make them leave now that the match is over, but first, Wallace rewards Ash with a {{badge|Rain}} and his scarf, before launching into a long congratulatory speech, during which the Contest Spectacular's results are announced, revealing that Serena and Lisia have tied for first place. Just as Wallace concludes his speech, Goh spots the Altaria he failed to catch before and runs after it.

At sunset, as Chloe prepares to board a boat back to [[Kanto]], Serena gives Eevee her Sylveon's ear decoration. Chloe thanks Serena for being there to push her forward, which Serena says is what her former traveling companion used to do as well, so now it's her turn to do it. Chloe asks what Serena plans to do next, and she reveals that Lisia had just asked if she'd like to form an idol duo with her. Serena is hesitant, but Chloe reminds her of what she had told her about hesitation earlier, and the two girls laugh together. Just as Chloe boards her boat, Ash and Goh catch up with her, with Ash telling about his battle with Wallace and Goh revealing that he managed to catch himself an Altaria. At first, they fail to notice Serena, but when she calls out to Ash, they turn around and see her, with Ash being happy to see the friend he [[Pokémon the Series: XY|used to travel with]] again. However, the reunion is cut short when the boat starts moving. Ash calls out to Serena that he's aiming to become the {{pkmn|world}}'s strongest Trainer in the World Coronation Series, while Serena reaffirms her goal to become the world's greatest Performer. Serena smiles as she watches the boat sailing towards the setting sun, before turning around and running off with Sylveon.

==Trivia==
* [[Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!]]: {{p|Sylveon}}
* This episode marks the first physical appearance [[Wallace]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} since ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', 645 episodes earlier.
** This episode also marks the first appearance of {{an|Serena}} in the main series since ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', 251 episodes earlier.
* This episode features the following flashbacks, which have all been reanimated to match the style introduced in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'':
** Serena's Eevee's debut in ''[[XY089|A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!]]''.
** Serena's Eevee's {{pkmn|Showcase}} debut in ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]''.
** Serena's Eevee's evolution in ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]''.
* Serena quotes {{Ash}} from ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'' and ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'' in this episode, as well as {{an|Aria}} from ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''.
* As of this episode, [[Chloe]] and {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} have met every [[Eeveelution]] since Chloe became a Trainer.
** The episode's main location, [[Lilycove City]], is the same city where Chloe first encountered an Eeveelution in ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]''.
* This marks the first time a {{pkmn|Contest}} has occurred in a [[AG090|repeat]] [[AG091|location]] in the anime.

* Chloe's [[Contest Costume]] is the same as the one {{ga|May}} wears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Serena also tells Chloe that the costume was previously worn by the Princess of Hoenn, which could be a reference to {{an|May}}, as {{an|Dawn}} called May by this title in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''.
* As of this episode, Ash has battled and defeated every [[Hoenn]] [[Gym Leader]].
* Wallace using a {{p|Swampert}} and a {{p|Walrein}} could be a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, where he uses them during the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

** {{p|Delphox}}, who last appeared in ''Performing a Pathway to the Future!'', 278 episodes earlier.
** {{p|Breloom}}, who last appeared in ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', 262 episodes earlier.

'''Violet''' (Japanese: '''アヤメ''' ''Ayame'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Type expert|specialist]] and is the second oldest of {{an|Misty}}'s [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]]. She and her sisters, {{an|Daisy}} and {{ka|Lily}}, are also the former [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Cerulean Gym]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Misty sisters SM.png|thumb|left|250px|Violet and her sisters going out on vacation in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'']]
Violet made her first appearance in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', it is stated that Violet writes the sisters' water shows; however, a later episode shows {{an|Daisy}} performing this task. She sometimes also plays the part of the mermaid as seen in ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]''.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', she left on a cruise with her sisters, leaving Misty to take temporary charge of the Gym.

She made many more appearances along with Daisy and Violet in future episodes as well as in Pokémon Chronicles.

Violet, along with Daisy and Lily, reappeared in a fantasy during the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where the Spectacular Sisters ditched the Gym to go on a trip, leaving Misty in charge of everything. She reappeared again in the same capacity in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', although Misty revealed she had Violet and the others take over Gym duties while she was in [[Alola]].

===Character===
Much like Lily, she seems to tease Misty more often than Daisy. However, she truly loves Misty despite this; when Ash and Misty set out on their journey, she encourages Misty to become a strong Trainer so that she can become good at something.

Like her other sisters, she mainly cares about her looks. They demonstrated this by caring more about their hair than their Pokémon during an attack by Team Rocket. They also don't like losing to the challengers at their Gym and would rather just give away their Gym Badge instead of losing. Violet is also very childlike and carefree. During the water shows hosted by the Gym, she is shown to prefer playing girlish roles, whereas Lily plays the more boyish ones.

* In the English dub, Violet, along with Lily and Daisy, speaks with a Valley Girl accent.

'''Lily''' (Japanese: '''ボタン''' ''Botan'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Type expert|specialist]] and is one of {{an|Misty}}'s [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]]. She is the second youngest of the four sisters. She and her sisters, {{an|Daisy}} and {{an|Violet}}, are also the former [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Cerulean Gym]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Misty sisters SM.png|thumb|left|250px|Lily and her sisters going out on vacation in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'']]
She made her debut appearance in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'' along with Misty's other sisters. She and her sisters participate in the water shows hosted by the [[Cerulean Gym]]. She is also one of the three temporary [[Gym Leader|Leader]]s of [[Cerulean Gym]]. She, along with her other two sisters, refused to battle with [[Ash Ketchum]] due to their Pokémon being injured from their defeats against the other three trainers from [[Pallet Town]]. The only remaining Pokémon that was healthy enough to battle was a {{p|Goldeen}} that Lily owned.

She, {{an|Daisy}}, and {{an|Violet}} were mentioned in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'' by [[Dorian]].

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', she left on a cruise with her sisters, leaving Misty to take temporary charge of the Gym.

She made many more appearances along with Daisy and Violet in future episodes as well as in [[Pokémon Chronicles]].

Lily, along with Daisy and Violet, reappeared in a fantasy during the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where the Spectacular Sisters ditched the Gym to go on a trip, leaving Misty in charge of everything. She reappeared again in the same capacity in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', although Misty revealed she had Lily and the others take over Gym duties while she was in [[Alola]].

===Character===
Lily and Violet tend to tease Misty more often than Daisy. Throughout ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', she often teases Misty for not being a strong Trainer like they are, and for not being as pretty as them. She even labels Misty as a runt in comparison. Unlike her other sisters, she truly doesn't believe Misty is a powerful Trainer and has absolutely no faith in her during the start of her Gym battle with Ash. As the battle progresses, however, she does admit that Misty has some talent as a Pokémon Trainer. When Ash and Misty set out on their journey, she encourages Misty to become a strong Trainer so that she can become good at something.

Like her other sisters, she cares mostly about her looks. They demonstrated this by caring more about their hair than their Pokémon during an attack by Team Rocket. They also don't like losing to the challengers at their Gym and would rather just give away their Gym Badge instead of losing. Violet is also very childlike and carefree. During the water shows hosted by the Gym, she is shown to prefer playing boyish roles, whereas Violet plays the more girlish ones.

'''Daisy''' (Japanese: '''サクラ''' ''Sakura'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Type expert|specialist]] and is the oldest of {{an|Misty}}'s [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]]. She and her sisters, {{an|Violet}} and {{ka|Lily}}, are also the former [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Cerulean Gym]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Misty sisters SM.png|thumb|left|250px|Daisy and her sisters going out on vacation in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'']]
When Misty left to become a {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]], Daisy and her other two sisters were put in charge of the Gym. However, after {{Gary}} and the other two Trainers from [[Pallet Town]] defeated them consecutively, they decided to stop accepting battles and to instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of [[Cerulean City]]. They were continuing this and neglecting the Gym when Misty stopped by to drop off her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} to play at the Gym in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. It is unknown for how long afterwards the sisters continued to do this.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world because Daisy was third place in a pageant. They made Misty return to Cerulean City so she could take over the role of Gym Leader for them.

They returned to the Gym two weeks before ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]''. However, Misty is still the official Gym Leader, with Daisy and the other sisters filling in when Misty is away. However, they still don't like battling, and in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Daisy asked Misty if they could just give Badges to the Trainers instead of battling them.

In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc Is A Many Splendored Thing!]]'', Daisy invited {{Tracey}} over to see the Gym's new {{p|Luvdisc}}, [[Caserin and Luverin]]. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] of [[Team Rocket]] went on to nab Luverin for [[Dr. Namba]]. However Daisy gave chase in her car, with Misty, Tracey and Caserin, in the back, and later her ready-packed inflatable boat. Later Daisy and Misty used their Luvdisc to defeat the Rocket duo in a tag team effort.

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]'', Daisy appeared in a flashback when {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}} told Ash and {{ashfr}} how she had asked him to clean the Cerulean Gym's pool and gotten a {{badge|Cascade}} from her as thanks for the help.

Daisy, along with Violet and Lily, reappeared in a fantasy during the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where the Spectacular Sisters ditched the Gym to go on a trip, leaving Misty in charge of everything. She reappeared again in the same capacity in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', although Misty revealed she had Daisy and the others take over Gym duties while she was in [[Alola]].

===Personality===
[[File:Daisy EP007.png|thumb|220px|Daisy in her debut]]
Cheerful and somewhat absentminded, Daisy spends more time at the [[Cerulean Gym]] compared to {{an|Violet}} and {{ka|Lily}}. As such, she does show some prowess, responsibility, and determination as a [[Gym Leader]] compared to Violet and Lily, which is especially evident in how she, alongside Misty, spearheaded a rescue operation for Luverin when it was abducted by [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] of Team Rocket, and later defeating them. However, she is still not very responsible as a Gym Leader overall. She will give [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s out for free, even when Misty is the official Leader.

Rather Daisy, much like Lily and Violet, is more focused on her looks, with her main ambition in life being acting and modelling. She played the lead actress in the dragracer film "High Speed Hannah". Daisy is also the brains behind the Cerulean Gym's famous underwater ballets, which bring her and her sisters much acclaim.

'''Lusamine's Clefable''' (Japanese: '''ルザミーネのピクシー''' ''Lusamine's Pixy'') is [[Lusamine]]'s main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that she owns in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and the {{pkmn|manga}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lusamine Clefable Magic Guard.png|thumb|250px|{{a|Magic Guard}} activated]]
Clefable has been owned by {{an|Lusamine}} since she was still a {{p|Cleffa}}. She used to play a lot with {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Gladion}} when the two were young. At some point, she [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Clefairy}}, and later into a Clefable with a [[Moon Stone]] against Lillie's wishes, as shown in a fantasy in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''.

Clefable debuted as a Cleffa in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'' in a [[Photography|photograph]] at Lillie's house, in which she was being held by Lillie. The photo later reappeared in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''. In a flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', she was seen playing with Lillie as a Clefairy.

Clefable physically debuted in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', when Lusamine sent her out to battle {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}, only to be recalled when her energy had been drained. When Lusamine was later subjected to Nihilego's control, Clefable was sent out to stop {{Ash}} and Lillie in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''. She briefly battled [[Snowy]] and [[Ash's Lycanroc]] before Lillie was able to break Clefable free of Nihilego's control by reminding her of their past together.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Clefairy attended the wedding of {{an|Professor Kukui|Professors Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}} alongside its {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

Since ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', she has been stationed at the [[Ultra Guardians]]' base below the [[Pokémon School]], having been selected by Lusamine to assist Ash and {{ashcl}} during their Ultra Guardians' missions. She usually greets them when they first arrive before pointing to the monitor where Lusamine, [[Wicke]], and Professor Burnet will make contact.

In ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', Clefable was cleaning the Ultra Guardians' base when she came across a group of {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} that began eating anything made of metal. Clefable trampled the Meltan, causing them to flee up to the Pokémon School, but they later returned. In the [[SM112|following episode]], Clefable learned of their taste for metal and went on to train them to follow her around. Later, she had the Meltan perform a few tricks for Kukui and his class.

===Personality and characteristics===
Clefable has a friendly and playful personality, as seen during {{an|Lillie}}'s flashbacks. She has a close bond with Lillie, which allowed her to break free from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}'s control. Her friendship with Lillie made her the perfect choice of Pokémon to be stationed at the [[Ultra Guardians]]' base. Clefable is a thoughtful and helpful Pokémon, as shown in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene for [[SM089]], where she gave {{an|Professor Burnet}} a cup of {{DL|Pokémon Center Café|Drinks|Komala Coffee}} after all of the hard work she had done on studying {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}.

Clefable likes to keep the Ultra Guardians' base tidy, as seen in ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]''.

===History===
====Pre-sereis====
[[File:Younger May.png|thumb|220px|May during her childhood]]
May grew up with her mother, [[Caroline]], her father and [[Petalburg City]] Gym Leader, [[Norman]], and brother, [[Max]]. As revealed in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', May when she was younger was playing in the water with some {{p|Tentacool}}, but found herself surround by a horde of them. However, when her parents see this, May's mother Caroline tried to catch her because she mistaken her for a Tentacool. Ever since that experience, May developed a dislike and fear of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
Years later in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', May was old enough to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but she used it as an excuse just so she could travel, even though everyone expected her to follow in her father Norman's footsteps. However, after seeing a [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', she decided to become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] instead. Since May initially knew almost nothing about Pokémon or [[move|attack]]s, Ash assumed the role of her mentor. She gradually gained experience through her {{pkmn|journey}} and practice with Ash.

As a Coordinator, May was able to learn more about Pokémon and form stronger bonds with them. In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after winning the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, May told her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} that she loved it. This is an example of her growth — from someone who initially disliked Pokémon to someone who cared deeply for them.

With her {{cat|May's Pokémon|Pokémon}}, May was able to come up with different [[Contest combination|attack combinations]] to use during her [[Contest Battle]]s. For instance, she would use her {{TP|May|Combusken}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}} and her {{TP|May|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Bubble}} to create a combination of fire and water, dubbed "Fire and Water Whirlwind" by [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], after witnessing [[Tucker]] use it against Ash with a combination of {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This even made a [[Harley|rival]] of hers angry, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move as May did not use it against him.

She also developed a love for making her own [[Pokéblock]]s with recipes that she thought up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: ''Haruka's Delicious'' and ''Haruka's Delicious 2''). Unfortunately, the only ones who liked her "Purple Surprise" were her {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and [[Jessie]]. Her "Pink Surprise" came from the recipe {{an|Professor Oak}} uses to make [[Ash's Snorlax]]'s {{pkmn|food}}. Thus, after May [[AG118|first fed]] it to her Munchlax, it was automatically made full. This Pokéblock was regularly used to feed Munchlax in order to prevent it from eating the food of others.

[[File:Drew and May.png|thumb|left|220px|May and Drew]]
During her journey, she found a [[rival]] in [[Drew]], a skilled and sometimes arrogant Coordinator. Drew became one of her main inspirations to try harder to sharpen her skills as a Coordinator. At first, Drew had claimed that May had "no style" as a Coordinator, but by the end of May's second Contest campaign, when she defeated him in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], he recognized her growth and skill. Another rival of hers, [[Harley]], is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May and has no qualms about cheating or using unfair tactics. An example of Harley's depravity was seen in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', when he recorded Max telling him a story from May's childhood. May had been wearing a blue swimming cap in the ocean, and her mother had mistaken her for a {{p|Tentacool}} from afar and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} May with one of her {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Harley played the recording of this story during the [[Izabe Island]] Pokémon Contest to embarrass May into losing. May was able to beat Harley in the end, but she claimed that she had never been more humiliated. Another example is when Harley joined forces with {{TRT}} in an attempt to sabotage May's performance with Combusken, which ended up contributing to a more dazzling appeal.

At the Kanto Grand Festival, May also competed against [[Solidad]], an experienced Coordinator to whom she lost in the semifinals. At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', she left to compete with Drew, Harley, and Solidad in the [[Johto]] [[region]], aiming to find her own battling style. The decision to stop traveling with Ash was an important one for May's character. Because Ash played the role of a mentor to her through most of the series, she was largely influenced by his offensive battle style. By the end of their journey through Kanto, May had realized that an offensive style was not necessarily the best for her and for Contests. Her constant use of dazzling attacks ultimately proved to be her downfall at the Kanto Grand Festival, when Solidad was able to recognize and counter these moves by leading May to attack and then successfully dodging. Her goal to find her own style was therefore also a goal to improve her Contest Battle skills and ultimately become a [[Top Coordinator]].

May has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in Hoenn, Kanto and Johto. She also has a personal [[List of Japanese ending themes|theme song]], ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'', performed by [[KAORI.]]. It was first used as background music in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' and was used multiple times after that during May's Contest [[Appeal|performances]] and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. The song became the ending theme of the show between ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'' and ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
May reappeared from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' to participate in the [[Wallace Cup]]. During this period, she wore her {{ga|May|game counterpart}}'s outfit from {{game|Emerald}}. She shared that many of her Pokémon had [[Evolution|evolved]] and that she had already won three Johto [[Ribbon]]s. {{an|Dawn}} recognized May upon meeting her and said that some people in the [[Sinnoh]] region called her the "Princess of Hoenn", causing May to blush. During the Wallace Cup, May showed the new style that she had come up after leaving Ash, battling against Dawn's rival [[Zoey]] and winning using her Beautifly. She made it all the way to the finals but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end. Afterwards, May returned to Johto to resume competing in Contests there.

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

[[File:JN105 Wallace Cup flashback.png|thumb|250px|May in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
May reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
May reappeared in a flashback of the Wallace Cup in [[JN105]], alongside Dawn. In the same episode, [[Chloe]] wore a [[Contest Costume]] that {{an|Serena}} mentioned was worn by the "Princess of Hoenn", referencing May's nickname.

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

===Character===
[[File:May and Max BW.png|thumb|220px|left|May and Max]]
May is generally a very sweet and optimistic girl. She enjoys feminine and cute things as well as shopping. In fact, she and Brock occasionally went on shopping trips together throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''. May cares about her appearance, sometimes spending so much time in front of the mirror that it caused her traveling companions to become frustrated with her, such as in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. May also is interested in helping other people with their romantic problems.

Though she is generally kind, she occasionally argues with her little brother, [[Max]]. The two had arguments since Max's debut episode, but one of their most notable was in ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. May's harsh words to Max made him declare that he hated May and he ran away for a portion of the episode. Even though she had been angry, May quickly felt guilty for hurting Max's feelings and became very worried that he would be hurt on his own. In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]'', May revealed that she had promised her mother to always take care of Max on their journey. So even though the siblings had many quarrels, May deeply cares for her brother and would go to great lengths to protect him.
[[File:May rage.png|thumb|220px|May's rage at her loss of food]]
In ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]'', May heard Brock used to act as a cook during Ash's journeys. As she, Max and Ash were hungry, she was the one who asked Brock if he could prepare some food for them. If a person or a Pokémon were to steal her food she would become extremely angry, which was demonstrated numerous times. Food was one of the few things May would become angry about, so it was an important tool to show a different side to her usually cheerful character. When May returned for ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', she expressed excitement over the chance to eat at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], but having her meal stolen made her enraged. She was later shown enjoying a large cookie, once again affirming her love of food and sweets.

[[File:May shopping bags.png|thumb|left|220px|May after shopping]]
When May first left her home, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of a [[Pokémon journey]]. This sparked one of May's most memorable quirks in Hoenn, "May's Expeditions". Starting from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', May would occasionally make a camera lens with her fingers, pretending she was the host of a traveling show. May also didn't like Pokémon, due to the trauma of being swarm around a group of {{p|Tentacool}} when she was little. However, after seeing {{Ash}} risking his life to save his {{AP|Pikachu}} on the day they [[AG001|met]] and formed a close bond with her first two Pokémon, {{TP|May|Torchic}} and {{TP|May|Wurmple}}, May grew to care about Pokémon, which helped her overcome her dislike and fear of them.

As mentioned, May also enjoys making [[Pokéblock]]. She first learned about making Pokéblock in the episode ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' when she met {{ho|Kelly}}. She learned that Kelly's mother owned a Pokéblock shop, and May was curious about it. Kelly then taught her how to use a [[Berry Blender]]. May's first attempt of making a Pokéblock was not successful, but that didn't stop her from trying. In the episode ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', May continued to make Pokéblock, calling the result '''"May's Purple Surprise"'''. However, only [[May's Munchlax]] had taken a liking to it. Later on, {{an|Professor Oak}} had created a Pokéblock for May, which May calls '''"May's Pink Surprise"''', that is specially made for Munchlax. May uses it to stop her Munchlax from causing too much trouble on many occasions.

In ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', May revealed that she stayed in contact with many of the friends she made through competing in Pokémon Contests, using emails, phone calls and letters. This included [[Kelly (Hoenn)|Kelly]], [[Savannah]], [[Sandra]], [[Timmy Grimm|Timmy]], [[Dr. Abby]] and [[Janet]]. May also said that being friends with the people she met throughout her journey, and knowing they were cheering for her, gave her the confidence to overcome any nervousness she could face.

Throughout her journey with Ash, Brock, and Max, May has changed remarkably as a person and Trainer, but maintains her habit of finding popular food spots and her sweet nature. May has also learned to not take her Pokémon for granted, as seen in ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', when she realized how hard she pushed her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Rubello Town|Rubello]] [[Pokémon Contest]] and that the first [[AG051|two]] [[AG062|ribbons]] that she won were because her Pokémon came through for her. In addition, May has exceptionally improved her battling skills, as shown in her battle against [[Drew]] in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

May's Contest cry is '''"Take the stage!"''' (Japanese: '''ステージ・オン！''' ''Stage On!''). In the English dub, she also uses variations, such as "On stage!"

===Pokémon===
The Pokémon she acquired on the course of her journey appear to resemble Pokémon that Ash had obtained at some point at the beginning of his own journey. At first, she preferred cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and dazzling techniques, but on the course of her journey, she was able to obtain Pokémon outside that preference. She has a tendency to rely on luck, often using her {{TP|May|Skitty}}'s {{m|Assist}} or her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}'s {{m|Metronome}} to win. Most of May's Pokémon were not caught through battle. Unlike many of [[Ash's friends]], May has never had a consistently [[Obedience|disobedient]] Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* May is the first main character other than Ash to own a [[starter Pokémon]].
* May 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 [[Unova]] region.
* May is the first of Ash's traveling companion to be based on a [[player character]] from the {{pkmn|games}}.
* May is the only main character to, upon her introduction, [[Breaking the fourth wall|introduce herself to the audience]] rather than be introduced by the narrator or first appear without an introduction at all.
* May is the only main character, other than Ash, to wear gloves as part of her character design.
* Both of May's unevolved Pokémon are {{t|Normal}} [[type]].
* May was the first character to own a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}, with {{p|Munchlax}}.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, May is the first main character to catch {{TP|May|a Pokémon|Bulbasaur}} that Ash {{AP|has also caught|Bulbasaur}}.
* May has not made any reappearances since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', not counting flashbacks and non-speaking cameos. This could be because her Japanese voice actress, KAORI, came down with a variation of the debilitating disease focal dystonia called spasmotic dysphonia, as early as 2007 (a year before her reappearances in DP), and hitting its peak by May 2012. To date, a replacement has not been cast.<ref>https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/miscellaneous/kaori_hiatus.html</ref>

'''Diantha''' (Japanese: '''カルネ''' ''Carne'') is a famous and renowned actress who is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] region's [[Kalos League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|X and Y}}. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} {{tc|Grand Duchess}}.

==In the core-series games==
Diantha appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a famous movie star and a notable icon across the Kalos region. She is also a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but shows more interest in other Trainers who have real potential. She takes a special interest in the {{player}} from their first meeting in Café Soleil in [[Lumiose City]] and later when she meets the player again in [[Coumarine City]].

Later, she reappears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

After registering in the [[Hall of Fame]], Diantha can be found in Café Soleil, where she will ask the player to [[trade]] one of their Pokémon for her {{p|Ralts}} holding the [[Mega Stone]] for {{p|Gardevoir}}, the [[Gardevoirite]].

She will also appear in the [[Battle Chateau]] once the player has reached the highest rank, Grand Duke/Grand Duchess.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Diantha anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Diantha in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', where she was shown having an exhibition {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. With her {{p|Gardevoir}}, Diantha had very little trouble in defeating her opponent's {{p|Absol}} where it was shown she could direct her Gardevoir through mere eye contact. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later encountered Diantha in disguise, trying to get a piece of chocolate cake from a shop. She agreed to have a battle with Ash, but the battle between {{AP|Pikachu}} and Gardevoir was soon interrupted by {{TRT}}, who caught Gardevoir and took it away. With the guidance of Diantha's Key Stone, Ash and his friends were able to find Team Rocket. Diantha then Mega Evolved her Gardevoir into Mega Gardevoir, easily breaking out of its confinement and sending the Rocket trio blasting off again.

She was seen in a fantasy in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', where it is also revealed that she and Gardevoir participated in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] back when Diantha was younger and Gardevoir was a {{p|Ralts}}.

In the beginning of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Diantha was battling [[Wikstrom]]. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Diantha spoke with [[Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of {{p|Zygarde}}. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. When she was informed about the mystical power of Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}, she requested to battle Ash again. Diantha and Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, but as the battle continued Ash and Greninja (which eventually transformed into Ash-Greninja, to Diantha's shock) kept doing better. Diantha eventually decided to get serious and Mega Evolve her Gardevoir. Ash and Greninja, however, managed to perfect their transformation and knocked Gardevoir off its feet. But before the battle could continue, Ash and Greninja both passed out. Team Rocket then tried to get their hands on a weakened Gardevoir, but Diantha easily sent them blasting off again. After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play. She also appeared again in another flashback in [[XY119|the following episode]].

Diantha made further appearances since ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she stood in the middle of the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s stadium and welcomed the participants of the Conference. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', she watched Ash's and [[Sawyer]]'s battle in the semifinal round. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', she was watching, along with Professor Sycamore, as Ash and [[Alain]] each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference. In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', she watched the start of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference; and in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the battle's conclusion.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', and ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Diantha was caught up in [[Team Flare]]'s attack on [[Lumiose City]].

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Diantha helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

She appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Diantha and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Diantha with Cynthia and Iris]]
In ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', Diantha was on the cover of a magazine read by [[Jessie]].

Diantha, along with her Gardevoir, appeared on a television screen in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In [[JN109]], Diantha was revealed to be one of the eight competitors in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], ranked fifth.

In [[JN115]], Diantha participated in the [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Lance}}. While waiting for her match, Diantha accepted Iris's request to have a selfie with her and {{an|Cynthia}}. After {{an|Leon}} and Alain's battle had concluded, Diantha headed to the battlefield to start her battle with Lance. In the [[JN116|next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle, advancing her to the semifinals to face Leon. Following her victory, Diantha was interviewed by a disguised Team Rocket, where Jessie demanded that she'd use her {{p|Gourgeist}} as her finishing Pokémon in her next match, much to her confusion. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Diantha watched the rest of the quarterfinals battles with the other Masters Eight members.

====Character====
Just like in the games, Diantha is a famous movie star. She starred in a movie titled "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|My Sweet, Sweet Lady}}". She is also a fan of desserts, going out of her way to sample the local delicacies whenever she arrives in a new town. Unlike her manager, [[Kathi Lee]], Diantha is much more relaxed and open, always showing warmth to those around her. She views the bond between Trainer and Pokémon to be of the utmost importance for growth. Such focus allows her to communicate to Gardevoir how and when to dodge simply by making eye contact and looking in a certain direction.

In battle, Diantha's strategy varies depending on which Pokémon she currently is battling with, a fact that leads others to describe her as "an enigma." She views a battle as a performance, to which she always displays a high degree of showmanship and elegance. She has an affinity for support and interference moves such as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, and {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} to gain various advantages, combining such tactics will skillful and serene offensive combos. Furthermore, she is highly perceptive, able to decipher an opponent's strategy and attack pattern and instantly form a counterstrategy.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Diantha in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Young Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|left|A younger Diantha in her debut film in Pokémon Adventures]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. She is one of several people who studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. She is first seen at [[Lysandre Café]] using her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to shield {{adv|Y}} and her friends from [[Lysandre]]'s Pokémon. After Lysandre left on other business, Y's excitement at meeting a famous actress attracted the attention of Diantha's fans, forcing everyone to flee out the back door before going their separate ways.

In [[PS568]], Diantha introduced herself to [[Korrina]], Gurkinn's granddaughter and fellow Mega Evolution Successor. She led Korrina to a nearby river, where Gurkinn was under attack from [[Team Flare]] {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} Chalmers. After they freed Gurkinn, the trio combined the power of their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Diantha then revealed she went on vacation from acting to join Gurkinn and Korrina stop the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} from falling into Team Flare's clutches.

In [[PS574]], Diantha, Gurkinn, and Korrina arrived at {{rt|9|Kalos}} to help {{adv|X}} and his friends stop Team Flare from taking Xerneas' tree form to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. Gurkinn helped X take on [[Emma|Essentia]] while Korrina went ahead to keep [[Celosia]] from transporting Xerneas. Diantha was attacked by [[Malva]], who trapped both of them in a {{m|Magic Room}} to stall for time while Xerneas was moved. Y and {{adv|Shauna}} tried breaking the barrier, but were unable to prevent it from sinking into the ground. Team Flare eventually obtained Xerneas and used it to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]], but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the device enough to prevent it from taking any lives. Malva later revealed she defeated Diantha and successfully captured Yveltal, who was sleeping in cocoon form in the ground underneath Xerneas's tree. Due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength, both sides were forced to have a ceasefire.

In [[PS582]], Diantha was revealed to still be alive, having been hidden underground by {{adv|Blue}} to avoid the ultimate weapon's beam. When Blue revealed he was searching for {{adv|Zygarde}}, a Legendary Pokémon said to be able to suppress Xerneas and Yveltal's power. Diantha agreed to help and the two set off to search for clues to Zygarde's whereabouts. Diantha and Blue traveled to {{rt|15|Kalos}}, where they met up with X and his friends before Diantha went to see Gurkinn at the [[Lost Hotel]]. In [[PS586]], Diantha and Blue arrived at [[Anistar City]], where they found Zygarde interrupting a battle between X's group and [[Emma|Essentia]]. Before they could land, Essentia managed to catch Zygarde and escape.

In [[PS587]], Diantha, Blue, and X's group set off to confront Team Flare at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Along the way, the group was attacked by [[Xerosic]], who had his {{p|Malamar}} put everyone to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. In [[PS590]], Diantha was revealed to have woken up and went ahead to village. She was ambushed by Malva, who used her {{p|Talonflame}} to steal Diantha's Mega Charm before taking to the skies. Diantha was assisted by Y, who used her [[Fletchy]] to burn Malva's hand and make her drop the Mega Charm. Y attempted to assist Diantha, but she refused and told Y to let her finish the battle alone. In [[PS593]], Malva witnessed Lysandre's defeat, distracting her long enough for Diantha's Gardevoir to take down her Talonflame. Diantha tried to rescuing Malva, but was rejected and forced to watch as Malva fell onto the rubble below after failing to save Lysadre. After Team Flare was defeated, Diantha and the remaining [[Elite Four]] members carried Malva's unconscious body away.

In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', a younger Diantha was seen at the [[Tower of Mastery]] in a flashback of {{Steven}}'s time as one of Gurkinn's students.

==In the TCG==
[[File:DianthaForbiddenLight130.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Diantha]]
{{main|Diantha (Forbidden Light 105)}}
'''Diantha''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese SM Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in Forbidden Light with an illustration by [[nagimiso]]. It allows the player to put 2 cards from the discard pile into their hand if one of the player's {{e|Fairy}} Pokémon was Knocked out in the opponent's last turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Diantha is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not use more than one Pokémon of the same [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Furthermore, each of her six [[party]] members has a different [[Statistic|stat]] as their highest stat. Her team is as follows: {{p|Hawlucha}} (Green, Speed); {{p|Tyrantrum}} (Red, Attack); {{p|Aurorus}} (Blue, HP); {{p|Gourgeist}} (Brown, Defense); {{p|Goodra}} (Purple, Special Defense); {{p|Gardevoir}} (White, Special Attack).
* The structure of Diantha's team when fought at the Pokémon League is similar to that of {{Steven}}'s team in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Both Champions use a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] and two [[Fossil]] Pokémon introduced in the Generation the Champion debuted, a Flying-type Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|had a unique type combination]] in that generation, and a Psychic-type Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Diantha appears on an electronic billboard on in the backround of the {{OBP|Prism Tower|stage}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]. This makes her the only non-playable human [[Pokémon]] character to appear on a [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] stage.
** Because Prism Tower is brought over to [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], she is also the only human Pokémon series character, aside from the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}, to make an appearance in that game.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Diantha is the only member of the [[World Coronation Series|final Masters Eight lineup]] in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' who is not confirmed to own a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

'''Diantha''' (Japanese: '''カルネ''' ''Carnet'') is a famous and renowned actress who is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] region's [[Kalos League|Pokémon League]]. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', Diantha helped {{Ash}} and his friends deal with the threat of [[Team Flare]].

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Diantha is revealed to be one of the top eight [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]], currently being ranked fifth.

==History==
===Pre series===
[[File:Diantha Ralts.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Diantha]]
As revealed in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', Diantha participated at the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] when she was younger and her Gardevoir was a {{p|Ralts}}, as she worked together with two other young Trainers. During the days that they participated, Diantha and her friends managed to enter the Pokémon Summer Camp Hall of Fame, which served as an inspiration to the other Trainers who participated in this event.

Years later, she starred in a movie titled "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|My Sweet, Sweet Lady}}". This film was a huge box office success and established Diantha as a renowned actress in the region. Over the years, Diantha and her Ralts' bond grew stronger and stronger, as her partner evolved into {{p|Kirlia}}, and then into {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}. One day, during filming of a movie, Diantha ended up getting lost from the film crew, which caused {{p|Gardevoir}} to get out of her own [[Poké Ball]] and go in search of her Trainer. From that day on, Diantha and Gardevoir became more united. Eventually, Diantha became the [[Champion]] of the [[Kalos League]], which made several Trainers decide to challenge her to battle.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''===
[[File:Diantha Kathi Lee.png|250px|thumb|Diantha and Kathi Lee]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', where she was shown having an exhibition {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. With her Gardevoir, Diantha had very little trouble in defeating her opponent's {{p|Absol}} where it was shown she could direct her partner through mere eye contact. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later encountered Diantha in disguise, trying to get a piece of chocolate cake from a shop. She agreed to have a battle with Ash, but the battle between {{AP|Pikachu}} and Gardevoir was soon interrupted by {{TRT}}, who caught the Embrace Pokémon and took it away. With the guidance of Diantha's Key Stone, Ash and his friends were able to find Team Rocket. Diantha then Mega Evolved her Gardevoir into Mega Gardevoir, easily breaking out of its confinement and sending the Rocket trio blasting off again.

In the beginning of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Diantha was battling [[Wikstrom]]. Despite the type disadvantage, Diantha and Gardevoir were able to beat Wikstrom and his Mega {{p|Scizor}} without much difficulty.

She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.
[[File:XY118 Ash VS Diantha.png|thumb|250px|left|Diantha battling Ash]]
In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Diantha spoke with [[Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of {{p|Zygarde}}. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. When she was informed about the mystical power of Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}, she requested to battle Ash again. Diantha and Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, but as the battle continued Ash and Greninja (which eventually transformed into Ash-Greninja, to Diantha's shock) kept doing better. Diantha eventually decided to get serious and Mega Evolve her Gardevoir. Ash and Greninja, however, managed to perfect their transformation and knocked Gardevoir off its feet. But before the battle could continue, Ash and Greninja both passed out. Team Rocket then tried to get their hands on a weakened Gardevoir, but Diantha easily sent them blasting off again. After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play.

Diantha made further appearances since ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she stood in the middle of the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s stadium and welcomed the participants of the Conference and soon afterward, Diantha joined Professor Sycamore to watch the first battles of the competition.

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', she watched Ash's and [[Sawyer]]'s battle in the semifinal round. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', she was watching, along with Professor Sycamore again, as Ash and [[Alain]] each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.
[[File:XY135.png|250px|thumb|Diantha and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s against Team Flare]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', she watched the start of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference; and in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the battle's conclusion and personally delivered the competition trophy to Alain. While the celebrations were still going on, Diantha and {{an|Professor Sycamore}} witnessed the beginning of [[Team Flare]]'s attacks on the [[Kalos]] region.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Diantha took charge of protecting the population of Lumiose City with the police and soon after watched the broadcast and Lysandre declaring his real intentions. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', while protecting the citizens of Kalos, Diantha instructed {{an|Tierno}}, [[Sawyer]], {{an|Shauna}}, and {{an|Trevor}} to help the population while she went to participate in the main battle.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Diantha joined the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s to form the front line against [[Giant Rock]] and in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Diantha teamed up with {{an|Steven Stone}} to buy time for Ash and Alain to manage to destroy the Giant Rock while the Gym Leaders had been defeated. When Alain and Ash managed to thwart Lysandre's plans and rescue [[Chespie]] and thus destroy the Giant Rock, Diantha joined the Trainers present to face Lysandre's last actions, who was ultimately defeated by the most powerful attack of Zygarde's combination of powers. At the end of the battle, Diantha joined the others to say goodbye to [[Squishy]] and [[Z2]].

She appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'' in a retrospective of Ash's journey through Kalos.
{{-}}
===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
Diantha, along with her Gardevoir, appeared on a television screen during a news broadcast about the [[World Coronation Series]] in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In [[JN109]], Diantha was revealed to be one of the eight competitors in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], ranked fifth.
[[File:Diantha and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|left|Diantha with Cynthia and Iris]]
[[File:Lance and Diantha.png|250px|thumb|Diantha and Lance]]
In [[JN115]], Diantha participated in the [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Lance}}. While waiting for her match, Diantha accepted Iris's request to have a selfie with her and {{an|Cynthia}}. After {{an|Leon}} and Alain's battle had concluded, Diantha headed to the battlefield to start her battle with Lance. In the [[JN116|next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle against the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Champion, advancing her to the semifinals to face Leon. Following her victory, Diantha was interviewed by a disguised Team Rocket, where Jessie expressed disdain that she did not win the match with her {{p|Gourgeist}}.

In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Diantha watched the rest of the quarterfinals battles with the other Masters Eight members.

==Character==
[[File:OPJ17 2 Diantha and Gardevoir.png|250px|thumb|left|Diantha and her Gardevoir]]
Diantha is a powerful Trainer and well-respected in the [[Kalos]] region. Her abilities as a Trainer allow her to easily overpower veteran Trainers like {{Ash}} and {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}, even in conditions where they have a large type advantage. Her affinity with Gardevoir is so great that Diantha can command moves with just gestures and looks, without the need to say actions during battle. In her [[Masters Tournament]] campaign, Diantha adopted a more strategic stance, using a variety of support and defense techniques to overcome her opponents' advantages. This guaranteed Diantha a victory over {{an|Lance}}, a finalist from the previous season of the [[World Coronation Series]].

Just like in the games, Diantha is a famous movie star. This made her able to star in major films and blockbusters in the region, but at normal times, Diantha is forced to resort to a disguise to try to lead a more normal life.

Like other [[Champion]]s in the anime, Diantha possesses a tremendous sense of justice and responsibility, deciding on her own to investigate Ash and his friends' role in actions against [[Team Flare]]'s plans for the Kalos region.

She is also a fan of desserts, going out of her way to sample the local delicacies whenever she arrives in a new town. Her manager is [[Kathi Lee]], who usually organizes Diantha's schedule and prevents her from straying too far from unscheduled appointments, even against Diantha's reluctance.

'''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.

==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]].

In [[JN109]], 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]], Alain participated in the [[Masters 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 quarterfinals battles with the other Masters Eight.

In [[JN118]], Alain watched Ash's battle against Steven, where he emerged victorious against the Hoenn Champion. After the battle, Alain met [[Goh]] and wished Ash good luck for the remainder of the competition before returning to Kalos.

==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]].

'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''ダンデ''' ''Dande'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region's [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] and becomes the strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the {{pkmn|world}} after obtaining the title of Monarch in the [[World Coronation Series]] in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', defeating Leon is the main objective of {{Ash}} and several other characters.

===History===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|left|thumb|250px|Leon and Sonia as children]]
====Pre-series====
Born and raised in [[Galar]], Leon was a childhood friend of [[Sonia]]'s. Due to having to take care of his family for a long time, she was his only friend and taught Leon the concepts of a [[Pokémon battle]]. During this period, Leon found a {{p|Charmander}} that would become [[Starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] and what motivated him to go on a [[Pokémon journey]]. Sonia and Leon traveled together when they started on their journey.

In his first victory in battle, it was evident that Leon had a natural gift for being a great Trainer. In this period, Leon met more people and knew more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', [[Rose]] was responsible for inserting Leon into the world of Pokémon battles. But, Leon's closeness to Rose ended up driving Sonia away from him, which made the two go their separate ways over time. In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Rose reveals that his goal with this was to guide Leon so that he would become the hero of Galar, and be able to control {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}.

On his journey, Leon went through the {{gal|Pokémon League}} of Galar undefeated, and eventually reached the top spot among the Masters Eight of the [[World Coronation Series]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Leon Charmeleon.png|right|thumb|250px|Leon as a teenager]]
Leon debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the [[World Coronation Series#Master Class|Monarch]] of the World Coronation Series. Shortly after the battle with Lance, in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', where Leon heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. Leon saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that he had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and [[Goh]] at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', when Ash explains to some kids about his goals.
[[File:Leon and Raihan anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Raihan]]
In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Leon has a battle for the World Coronation Series with [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. After a tough match, Leon emerged victorious, with this victory, Leon manages to defend his Monarch title. Afterwards, he greeted Ash and [[Chairman Rose]] and encourages Raihan to retrain so they can battle in the future.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', during a series of Pokémon attacks that were using Dynamax and Gigantamax in an uncontrolled way, he had Charizard attack a rampaging Gigantamax {{p|Centiskorch}}. After defeating it, Leon reunited with Ash, and they flew off together to deal with other rampaging Pokémon. Later, they encountered a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}}, which defeated in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]''. He later took on a {{p|Coalossal}} that had Gigantamaxed and took it down alongside Ash. Soon after, Rose and [[Oleana]] arrived. Leon was later seen in [[Hammerlocke]], where it was revealed that he was suspicious of Rose, and that he planned to investigate the city's [[Energy Plant]]. This investigation took Leon to the place where {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} was being held prisoner, when he ended up breaking free and getting out of control, Leon decided that he had to capture it so he could calm the Pokémon down. Leon met Rose, who revealed his real intentions and, after confronting his former tutor together with Ash, he went to face Eternatus.
[[File:JN044.png|thumb|250px|Leon about to face Eternatus]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon and Charizard battled against Eternatus after it was re-awakened, but despite Charizard's best efforts they still struggled against the might of the Legendary Pokémon. When Leon attempted to Gigantamax Charizard, Eternatus absorbed all of the Dynamax energy from the area, preventing Leon from successfully Gigantamaxing Charizard. Along with Sonia, Leon witnesses Ash and [[Goh]] joining forces with [[Hero duo (anime)#Zacian|Zacian]] and [[Hero duo (anime)#Zamazenta|Zamazenta]] and finally managing to contain the power of Eternatus. When everything was finally resolved, Sonia revealed to [[Professor Magnolia]] that Leon was searching for Rose who disappeared after the entire incident.
Leon made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'' while watching Ash's World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]].

In ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', Leon visited the [[Glimwood Tangle]] before heading to [[Ballonlea]], where he met up with Raihan, Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]]. Leon took part in [[Opal]]'s [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]], but lost to Ash. He then agreed to referee the battle between Ash and Opal.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'' and ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Leon appeared at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], watching the World Coronation Series match between Ash and [[Bea]]. During the battle, he arrived late, shocking the entire audience and serving as a commentator. At the end of the battle, Leon decided to leave without talking to any of the competitors, which left Ash disappointed.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Leon defended his title in a battle against {{EF|Flint}}. After yet another victory, Leon met up with Ash and invited him to a training session. Upon arriving at a place within the [[Wild Area]], Leon and Ash decided to camp and participate in activities with some Pokémon they found in the place. After having the experience interrupted by a pair of {{p|Corviknight}}, they discovered that one of the {{p|Rookidee}} from their nest was injured, so they decided to help them. At the end of the day, Leon revealed some feelings and doubts to Ash before leaving to meet with Goh and Sonia.

In [[JN108]], Leon was interviewed giving his opinion on the upcoming battle between Ash and Raihan. In the [[JN109|next episode]], he was one of the commentators of said battle at the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]].
[[File:Alain and Leon.png|thumb|250px|left|Leon and Alain]]
In [[JN115]], Leon participated in the [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash and Lance, and meeting {{an|Iris}}, [[Alain]], and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be Alain. Despite Alain managing to defeat Leon's Gigantamax {{p|Rillaboom}}, Leon still won the match without needing to use his final Pokémon at all. In the [[JN116|next episode]], Leon watched Lance and [[Diantha]]'s battle, where the [[Kalos]] Champion emerged victorious. After the battle, Leon was shown to be looking forward to battling Diantha in the semi-finals. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Leon watched the rest of the quarterfinals battles with the other Masters Eight members.

===Character===
[[File:Leon Charizard pose anime.png|thumb|250px|Leon doing his signature Charizard pose]]
Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Although Leon comes across as unstoppable, he revealed to {{Ash}} that since [[Darkest Day]] he felt powerless to deal with the threat. This made him question if there are people stronger than him and how far the strength limit of each one goes. [[Sonia]] is apparently the only person who can see this side of Leon, unlike most people, to her, Leon is more child-like in his relationship with Pokémon.

Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with [[Raihan]] and {{EF|Flint}}. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow [[Chairman Rose]]'s orders to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the [[Darkest Day]] from occurring.
[[File:Leon and Ash.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Ash]]
Leon is remarkably knowledgeable about the [[Gigantamax]]ing phenomenon, as seen in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', when he advised {{Ash}} on how to battle with his Gigantamax {{AP|Pikachu}} in order to deal with a {{p|Drednaw}} that also had Gigantamax. During Ash's battle against [[Opal]], he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of {{m|G-Max Finale}}. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how [[Mega Evolution]] works, being able to recognize the great bond {{AP|Lucario}} has with Ash.

As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon. During the course of the anime it is shown that Leon takes a keen interest in Ash's battles and more than once, Leon declared to Ash his desire to face him in an official battle. This even made Rose offer the same offer he made to Leon to be trained by him, but Ash refused even before knowing Rose's real intentions.

In his battles, Leon tends to change the moves that his Pokémon uses, as first seen in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', where {{p|Charizard}} used three different moves than what it had used previously and always battles on equal terms with the opponent, always Gigantamaxing his Pokémon only after the opponent has the initiative to use it first.

Like [[Leon|his game counterpart]], Leon has a difficult time with directions, resulting in him becoming lost in the [[Glimwood Tangle]] and needing [[wild Pokémon]] to show him the way to [[Ballonlea]] and [[JN100|later]] getting lost while traveling with Ash through the [[Wild Area]].

|desc={{p|Charizard}} is Leon's [[starter Pokémon]], as well as his ace and capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. It was first seen being used in Leon's battle against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] and won.

In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', Charizard was used to battle {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and once again, it emerged victorious.

In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Charizard was used to battle [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}, emerging victorious in the end once more.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon called on Charizard to battle {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}. It was able to battle the Legendary Pokémon for some time, although Eternatus was able to prevent it from Gigantamaxing. After Leon's failed attempt at catching Eternatus, Charizard was injured in the blast caused by it transforming into its {{form|Eternatus|Eternamax}} form, forcing Leon to recall it.

In [[JN115]], Charizard was the second Pokémon Leon used during his [[Masters Tournament]] match against [[Alain]]. It easily defeated his {{p|Malamar}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, making Leon the winner of the battle.

Charizard's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Thunder Punch}}, {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Rock Tomb}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Ancient Power}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. 
As a Gigantamax Charizard, it can use {{m|Max Lightning}}, {{m|Max Airstream}}, {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, and {{m|Max Knuckle}}.}}

'''Mallow''' (Japanese: '''マオ''' ''Mao'') is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]] and one of {{ashcl|Ash's former classmates}}. She debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Young Mallow anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Mallow when she was younger]]
Mallow lives with her father [[Abe]] at their family restaurant, while her brother [[Ulu]] is out on a cooking {{pkmn|journey}}.

As a toddler, Mallow had a walk with [[Mallow's mother|her mother]] in a forest on [[Melemele Island]] after her mother had just gotten out of a hospital for an unspecified illness. During the walk, they encountered a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Bounsweet}}, which Mallow found very cute. As such, her mother {{pkmn2|caught}} it and gave it to her as a {{pkmn2|gift}}. Instantly, Mallow and Bounsweet became friends and partners. However, her mother was soon forced to return to the hospital. Mallow eventually grew tired of her mother's endless apologies about her condition and yelled that she hated her, before running away. Soon after, Mallow's mother passed away due to her illness.

Sometime later, Mallow met {{an|Lana}} and befriended her after they had an adventure in a forest and met a resident {{p|Drampa}}, which was eventually [[nickname]]d [[Grandpa Forest]]. Years later, Mallow received a cookbook from Ulu with recipes of various dishes, which he found from old manuscripts while traveling.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''===
Mallow debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where she was seen riding a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Tauros}} with her classmates Lana and {{an|Sophocles}} at the [[Pokémon School]]. She accidentally ran over {{Ash}} when he stumbled upon the school and, mistaking him for a new student, introduced him as such to her principal, [[Samson Oak]]. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, she decided to show Ash around the campus, introducing him to her teacher, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, along the way. She then witnessed Ash join {{an|Kiawe}} in a scuffle against some {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, and was amazed by his and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s battle skills. Shortly after the battle, Ash saw the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} in the sky, but it flew off before Mallow and the other students could see it.

In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', she revealed that her top goal was to make the [[Aina's Kitchen]] the best in the world. In order to accomplish this, she had to recreate a special recipe to attract more customers, but the key ingredient, [[Yellow Nectar]], was out of season. After unsuccessfully using Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} as a substitute, she set off in search of an {{p|Oricorio}} to help find the Yellow Nectar. During a fight with {{TRT}}, who tried to steal the Yellow Nectar, Bounsweet [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, and she successfully recreated the secret recipe.

In ''[[SM039|Mallow and the Forest Teacher!]]'', Mallow had enough of being overworked by her father at the Kitchen, and ran away. She tripped on a rock and fell down a hill, injuring her knee. She was later found by an {{an|Oranguru}}, who helped her recover. Later, when {{TRT}} captured her Steenee, Oranguru helped save her just as Abe and her friends arrived. As Abe recognized the Oranguru from his past, Mallow reconciled with him and returned home.

From ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Mallow was among those who helped {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Gladion}} in their mission to rescue their mother [[Lusamine]] after Lusamine was kidnapped by the [[Ultra Beast]] {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}. In [[Ultra Deep Sea]], her Steenee, along with [[Ash's Litten]] and {{AP|Rowlet}}, and Lana and Sophocles's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, fought and overcame Lusamine's {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under Nihilego's control. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its grasp.

[[File:Mallow Ultra Guardian Outfit.png|250px|thumb|Mallow in her Ultra Guardian uniform]]
In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Mallow attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet}}. During the post-nuptials, Lusamine asked Mallow and her classmates to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to dealing with any upcoming Ultra Beast incidents, which they accepted.

As a part of the Ultra Guardians, Mallow and her Pokémon have been critical to the success of the group's missions. In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Mallow 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.

In ''[[SM072|Sours for the Sweet!]]'', Mallow prepared to enter the [[Alola Bread Festival‎‎]] with her father. Due to Abe's back problems, he couldn't enter, but Mallow was saved by the arrival of her brother, Ulu. Together, they entered the competition, but an incident led to Ulu accidentally losing the Berries they were going to use to a Snorlax. With the assistance of her friends and Steenee, Mallow successfully made sweet bread without the Berries, successfully winning the competition. However, by that point, Ulu had left to go on another journey.

In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', Mallow and Steenee started practicing for a Pokémon dance in class. When the day of the dance came, Mallow and the others were captured by Team Rocket, except for Steenee, who was doing some last-minute practicing. Mallow witnessed Steenee learn {{m|Stomp}} and subsequently evolve into Tsareena. Thanks to Tsareena, the group was freed and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

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, Mallow 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|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Light trio (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 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.
[[File:Mallow and her mother.png|250px|left|thumb|Mallow and her mother]]
In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Mallow and her classmates arrived on Poni Island for their individual research projects for school. Her research project was to focused on how to make dishes with Poni Island radishes. In ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]'', Mallow succeeded in making the radish-based dishes. She eventually brought them to [[Hapu]] for her to taste.

In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Mallow became depressed after learning of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s ability to reunite people with the souls of the deceased. After being comforted by Lana, Mallow admitted she didn't want to see her mother, as she felt guilty about declaring her hatred of her shortly before she passed away. Later, at Hapu's house, Tapu Fini filled the area with mist, causing Mallow to get separated from the others. Mallow was visited by the spirit of her mother, and promptly apologized to her for her past actions. After the mist cleared and her mother's spirit faded away, Mallow encountered a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, which had been attracted to the feelings of gratitude Mallow expressed during her apology, and decided to take it in until it was time for it to fly off.
[[File:Mallow and Z-Ring.png|thumb|250px|Mallow and her Z-Ring]]
In ''[[SM121|A Recipe for Success!]]'', Mallow visited Oranguru at [[Oranguru's place|its forest café]] to get some [[Big Mushroom]]s for her family's restaurant. After learning that Pokémon visited the café in addition to humans, Mallow decided to help Oranguru serve customers and lessen its workload. One of the customers was {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who she fed with a burger made from Poni Island radishes. Tapu Koko enjoyed its meal and gave Mallow a [[Grassium Z]] as a reward before leaving. As she reflected on her day, she decided to make [[Aina's Kitchen]] a restaurant for both humans and Pokémon. As thanks for helping it, Oranguru gave Mallow the Big Mushrooms she wanted, as well as a worn-out [[Z-Ring]]. Later, Mallow returned home and had her new Z-Ring repaired by [[Olivia]], making her the final member of Professor Kukui's class to receive a Z-Ring.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Mallow was among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]]. Using Shaymin, Mallow was among the 16 Trainers still standing at the end of the round. The match-ups for the next round revealed that she would be battling Lana.

In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Mallow faced Lana in the first round of the Manalo Conference. Despite having the type advantage, Mallow struggled against Lana, and it came to the point where she tried to forfeit, but Tsareena refused to be [[recall]]ed and wanted to continue battling on her side. Lana encouraged Mallow to keep on battling as well, and as Mallow looked at Tsareena, she remembered all of the times they had spent together. This restored her confidence, and she decided to respect her partner's choice to continue battling. Soon after, they were able to successfully execute a {{m|Bloom Doom}}, which was countered by [[Lana's Primarina]]'s {{m|Oceanic Operetta}}. Then, after stumbling from exhaustion, Tsareena was defeated by Primarina's {{m|Aqua Jet}}, eliminating Mallow from the tournament.

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Mallow attended the award ceremony for Ash's victory in the Manalo Conference, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through a wormhole. In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Mallow helped evacuate innocent civilians to safety. When a second, {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} appeared in the shopping area, Mallow, Lillie, Lana, and Sophocles helped Kiawe, Gladion, and [[Hau]] battle it. By combining their Z-Moves into one giant attack, Mallow and the others managed to successfully knock the Shiny Guzzlord back into Ultra Space.

[[File:Mallow and Shaymin goodbye.png|thumb|250px|left|Mallow saying goodbye to {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}]]
In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', with the Alola League over, Mallow and her classmates returned to their usual routine at the Pokémon School. When asked what she planned on doing for the upcoming vacation, Mallow revealed that she planned on renewing Aina's Kitchen so it could accommodate both people and Pokémon. She later invited everyone to a party at her family restaurant, where she allowed her friends' Pokémon to taste-test the new Pokémon menu.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Lillie revealed she would be leaving on a journey with Gladion and Lusamine to find her missing father, [[Mohn]], with the help of the {{p|Magearna}} she awakened. The next day, Mallow and the others said farewell to Lillie, taking one last photo with her before she and her family left on a cruise ship. As he flew back home, Ash was greeted by his classmates and Alolan Pokémon, who flew by in their Ultra Guardians uniforms to give him one final farewell. Sometime after the others left for their vacations, Mallow was greeted by Ulu, who had finished his cooking journey. With the [[Gracidea]]s Ulu brought with him, Shaymin changed into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}}. Mallow bid farewell to Shaymin, thanking it for the time it spent with her before it flew away with three other Sky Forme Shaymin.
[[File:Mallow JN.png|thumb|250px|Mallow in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Mallow helped organize a welcome party for Ash and [[Goh]] when they came to visit Alola. She later joined her classmates in watching a battle between Goh and Kiawe.

In [[JN112]], Mallow attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family to Alola after they found Mohn, reuniting with Lillie, Ash, and Goh and meeting [[Chloe]]. The next day, Mallow watched a [[Battle Royal]] match between Ash, Kiawe, Gladion, and Professor Kukui.

==Character==
[[File:Mallow Family.png|thumb|left|250px|Mallow with her father and Ulu]]
Mallow is an upbeat and friendly girl who gets along well with her classmates at the [[Pokémon School]]. She admits herself to be so energetic that she sometimes misses important details and jumps to the wrong conclusions. She has a firm sense of right and wrong, such as her distaste for [[Team Skull]]'s bullying of other students. Much like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Clemont}}, she is also a talented cook for both people and Pokémon, and as such is a self-proclaimed poster girl at her family's restaurant, [[Aina's Kitchen]].
[[File:Mallow Kanto Grass Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Mallow excited to see {{type|Grass}} Pokémon]]
Mallow is shown to be very good friends with {{an|Lillie}}. This was demonstrated in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', when she completed her chores early and headed over to see how she was getting on with the {{pkmn|Egg}}; in ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', when she dragged {{Ash}} along to see how she and [[Snowy]] were getting along; and in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', when she defended Lillie after {{Rotom}} accused her of being the culprit for making everyone hungry.
[[File:Young Mallow Lana.png|thumb|250px|left|Mallow with Lana when they became friends]]
Mallow is also supportive of her best friend {{an|Lana}}. This was demonstrated in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', when she showed up to watch how {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}'s balloons were doing and explained to Rotom why Lana was acting the way she was whenever she was separated from Popplio. This was seen again in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', when she showed up to watch how her and Popplio perform {{m|Hydro Vortex}}.

Mallow is a fan of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, as evident in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', when she excitedly greeted a {{p|Vileplume}} and two {{p|Gloom}} and called them cute. Mallow has shown to be secretive of what had happened to her [[Mallow's mother|mother]], as shown in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', where she lied about both of her parents being busy and in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' where she talked about [[Sima]], when her other classmates talked about their own mothers. In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', it was revealed that she harbors deep regret for snapping at her mother shortly before she passed away from an illness. Mallow only likes to speak to Lana about her mother's death. At the end of the episode, Mallow overcomes her guilt when she is briefly reunited with her mother's spirit in {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist.

Mallow has shown to have a way of knowing what her family and friends need, and would help them in any way she can; in addition, she is also protective of her friends and Pokémon. Mallow has a tendency to lose her composure when pushed into a corner, often doubting herself. However, Mallow would pick herself back up through the help of her friends. This is shown when making a meal for Tapu Koko while working at [[Oranguru's place]] in ''[[SM121|A Recipe for Success!]]'' and perfecting {{m|Bloom Doom}} with Tsareena during her battle with Lana at the [[Manalo Conference]] in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]''.

'''Ulu''' (Japanese: '''ウル''' ''ʻUlu'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the older brother of {{an|Mallow}} and the son of [[Abe]] and [[Mallow's mother|his wife]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Mallow Family.png|thumb|250px|left|Ulu and his family]]
Ulu debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', where it was revealed that he was currently traveling around the {{pkmn|world}} to become a better chef with his {{p|Lickitung}}. During his journey, he discovered an old recipe describing how to make Alolan Stew and sent it to {{an|Mallow}}.

Ulu physically debuted in ''[[SM072|Sours for the Sweet!]]'', in order to participate in the [[Alola Bread Festival]]. After [[Abe]] had injured his back, Ulu assisted Mallow in helping [[Aina's Kitchen]] take part in the festival. He had a crush on [[Nina]], only to be indirectly rejected when he realized she had a fiancé. Ulu struggled to overcome his lovesickness. With the support of Mallow, her friends and {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, he was able to come up with a recipe - freshly baked bread glazed with [[Grepa Berry]] and {{m|Sweet Scent}} jam, and won the Bread Festival. Afterwards he sailed away to continue his travels.

In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Ulu was running a [[Pinap Berry]] juice pop-up, catering for the [[Manalo Conference]] crowd when he reunited with Mallow. Upon learning that Mallow was going to compete in the [[Alola League]], Ulu promised to close his shop and cheer her on whenever she battles. He kept his promise, closing his store in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', to watch Mallow's {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Lana}}.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Ulu returned home with a bunch of flowers for Mallow, which turned out to be [[Gracidea]]s. This allowed Mallow's {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} to change into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]] and fly away with a trio of other Shaymin.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ulu and Abe.png|thumb|250px|Ulu and his father after preparing a feast]]
In [[JN112]], Ulu and Abe prepared food for a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family to Alola after they found [[Mohn]].

===Character===
Ulu's goal is to improve his culinary skills, and he is traveling the world to discover new flavor combinations. Outside of the kitchen, he becomes clumsy, especially when he develops a crush on someone like [[Nina]]. Despite being busy with his travels, Ulu is always supportive of his younger sister {{an|Mallow}}.

Alongside {{an|Mallow}} and her {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, they entered the Festival‎‎ and won it. Later, it left with its Trainer to continue their journey.

It later reappeared in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', in which it rushed with Ulu to the Manalo Stadium to watch Mallow's battle against Lana.

None of Lickitung's moves are known.}}

==In the games==
In the {{pkmn|games}}, Mallow's brother is left unnamed. He is a chef who works at the restaurant in [[Konikoni City]]. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]], after defeating [[Olivia]], the {{player}} can visit Mallow in her room on the second floor of the restaurant. Mallow asks the player to meet them in [[Lush Jungle]] for a {{pkmn|battle}} and leaves. However, before the player can follow her, they are asked by Mallow's brother to look for his {{p|Wimpod}}, who was gathering ingredients for the restaurant in Lush Jungle. After defeating Mallow, she finds her brother's Wimpod, and the player and her return to the restaurant. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun]], this sidequest cannot be activated.

'''Abe''' (Japanese: '''マオのパパ''' ''{{tt|Mao|Mallow}}'s father'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the father of {{an|Mallow}} and [[Ulu]], and the owner of the [[Aina's Kitchen]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Abe.png|thumb|left|250px|Abe in his youth]]
Prior to the official opening of [[Aina's Kitchen]], Abe was struggling to develop a complete menu for his new restaurant. A chance encounter with an {{an|Oranguru}} inspired him to put [[Pinap Berry]] Juice on the menu, and the pair forged a friendship.

As revealed in ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', [[Mallow's mother|Abe's wife]] passed away due to an illness while their children were still young. Following the tragedy, Abe continued to raise their children, Mallow and [[Ulu]], on his own while also running [[Aina's Kitchen]].
{{-}}
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
Abe debuted in ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} were having a meal, only for Mallow to ruin it when she tried to add a pinch of {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He made them some more food to make amends for Mallow's cooking. Then, he explained the history about the legendary Alolan Stew, remarking that the key ingredient of [[Yellow Nectar]] was out of date. Despite this, Mallow and Ash went looking for it the next day and were successful.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', Abe was serving food to his customers, only for {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}, who Mallow was watching for the weekend, to become overexcited and roll around in a ball, causing trouble by knocking over customers.

In ''[[SM039|Mallow and the Forest Teacher!]]'', Aina's Kitchen was featured on [[Alola TV]], only for Mallow to run away into the forest after having a falling-out with Abe. There, she encountered the same {{an|Oranguru}} that Abe encountered in the past. Abe later found Mallow and they reconciled.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Abe attended the wedding of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet}} and was part of the catering.

Abe and Mallow were preparing to enter the [[Alola Bread Festival‎‎]] in ''[[SM072|Sours for the Sweet!]]'', only for the former to hurt his back carrying flour. However, Ulu returned to the restaurant and took Abe's place. Mallow and her brother worked together and managed to win the competition with their Alola Jam Bread.

In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', Abe watched as Mallow and {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}} prepared for their upcoming PokéDance performance at the [[Pokémon School]]. He volunteered to take over Mallow's chores so they could have more time to practice.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', Abe was among the adults who were tired and without motivation due to the effects of a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}. He closed Aina's Kitchen and later visited [[Oranguru's place]].

In ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'', Abe watched Mallow perform in the school play.

In ''[[SM121|A Recipe for Success!]]'', Abe asked Mallow to get some ingredients from Oranguru. Afterwards, [[Olivia]], Ash, and the rest of his classmates volunteered to help out at the restaurant. Abe later watched as Mallow returned with a [[Grassium Z]] given by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} and a [[Z-Ring]] given by Oranguru.
[[File:Mallow Family.png|thumb|250px|Abe and his family]]
In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', Abe and Mallow were preparing food at Aina's Kitchen when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Kartana}} cut up some of their cabbage without them realizing it.

In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', Abe helped prepare a showcase of Mallow's latest dishes for her friends to enjoy. In the [[SM146|next episode]], Abe greeted Ulu, who returned from his cooking journey. Abe also witnessed {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} change into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]], after Ulu brought [[Gracidea]]s for Mallow, and fly away with a trio of Shaymin.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In [[JN112]], Abe and Ulu prepared food for a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family to Alola after they found [[Mohn]].

===Character===
Abe is often busy running [[Aina's Kitchen]] by himself. While his children admire and support his job, as noted by Mallow in ''[[SM039|Mallow and the Forest Teacher!]]'', she is left to do the domestic chores by herself. On rare occasions, like in ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'', Abe does close the restaurant down for the night.

'''Ulu''' (Japanese: '''ウル''' ''ʻUlu'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the older brother of {{an|Mallow}} and the son of [[Abe]] and [[Mallow's mother|his wife]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Ulu and Abe.png|thumb|250px|left|Ulu and his father]]
Ulu debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', where it was revealed that he was currently traveling around the {{pkmn|world}} to become a better chef with his {{p|Lickitung}}. During his journey, he discovered an old recipe describing how to make Alolan Stew and sent it to {{an|Mallow}}.

Ulu physically debuted in ''[[SM072|Sours for the Sweet!]]'', in order to participate in the [[Alola Bread Festival]]. After [[Abe]] had injured his back, Ulu assisted Mallow in helping [[Aina's Kitchen]] take part in the festival. He had a crush on [[Nina]], only to be indirectly rejected when he realized she had a fiancé. Ulu struggled to overcome his lovesickness. With the support of Mallow, her friends and {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, he was able to come up with a recipe - freshly baked bread glazed with [[Grepa Berry]] and {{m|Sweet Scent}} jam, and won the Bread Festival. Afterwards he sailed away to continue his travels.

In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Ulu was running a [[Pinap Berry]] juice pop-up, catering for the [[Manalo Conference]] crowd when he reunited with Mallow. Upon learning that Mallow was going to compete in the [[Alola League]], Ulu promised to close his shop and cheer her on whenever she battles. He kept his promise, closing his store in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', to watch Mallow's {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Lana}}.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Ulu returned home with a bunch of flowers for Mallow, which turned out to be [[Gracidea]]s. This allowed Mallow's {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} to change into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]] and fly away with a trio of other Shaymin.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In [[JN112]], Ulu and Abe prepared food for a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family to Alola after they found [[Mohn]].

===Character===
Ulu's goal is to improve his culinary skills, and he is traveling the world to discover new flavor combinations. Outside of the kitchen, he becomes clumsy, especially when he develops a crush on someone like [[Nina]]. Despite being busy with his travels, Ulu is always supportive of his younger sister {{an|Mallow}}.

Alongside {{an|Mallow}} and her {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, they entered the Festival‎‎ and won it. Later, it left with its Trainer to continue their journey.

It later reappeared in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', in which it rushed with Ulu to the Manalo Stadium to watch Mallow's battle against Lana.

==In the games==
In the {{pkmn|games}}, Mallow's brother is left unnamed. He is a chef who works at the restaurant in [[Konikoni City]]. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]], after defeating [[Olivia]], the {{player}} can visit Mallow in her room on the second floor of the restaurant. Mallow asks the player to meet them in [[Lush Jungle]] for a {{pkmn|battle}} and leaves. However, before the player can follow her, they are asked by Mallow's brother to look for his {{p|Wimpod}}, who was gathering ingredients for the restaurant in Lush Jungle. After defeating Mallow, she finds her brother's Wimpod, and the player and her return to the restaurant. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun]], this sidequest cannot be activated.

'''Gary Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・シゲル''' ''Shigeru Okido'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon Researcher]] from [[Pallet Town]] and grandson of {{an|Professor Oak}}. He is a childhood friend of [[Ash Ketchum]] and his main [[rival]] in the [[original series]]. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', he serves as [[Goh]]'s rival in [[Project Mew]]. His Japanese name is derived from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|left|220px|Young Gary]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Gary has been a neighbor of [[Ash Ketchum]] since they were both young. At one time, they seemed to be friends and went to see movies together, as seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

Shortly before beginning their journeys, Gary and Ash found an old {{i|Poké Ball}} while [[fishing]]. The two boys began fighting over who would get to keep the Poké Ball but ended up breaking it in half. Since then, they decided to keep the two separate pieces for themselves. It was revealed in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' that they still carried the pieces with them.

=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Gary Oak OS.png|thumb|220px|Gary in the original series]]

Gary debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where he went to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] along with two other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s before {{Ash}} did. After choosing his [[starter Pokémon]], he left [[Pallet Town]] with his {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}} on a sporty red convertible.

Gary made quick progress through his Pokémon journey, much to Ash's annoyance. He breezed through the {{gy|Pewter}} and {{gy|Cerulean}} [[Gym]]s prior to ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. It was also revealed in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' that Gary had also defeated [[Samurai]] in a battle.

Gary made a brief appearance in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', where he exited a town store, accidentally knocking Ash out in the process. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} revealed to Ash that Gary had already caught 45 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, compared to Ash's team of seven. Professor Oak also revealed that Gary's Pokémon included a much larger {{p|Krabby}} than the {{AP|Krabby}} that Ash caught that episode.

In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', Gary hopped onstage during the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]] and attempted to insult Ash in front of the gathered crowd.

In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', Gary was one of the Trainers who decided to help out the [[foreman]] in getting rid of the {{p|Diglett}} affecting construction at [[Gaiva Dam]]. Gary attempted to send out a Pokémon to battle the Diglett, but it did not exit the {{i|Poké Ball}}, and a Diglett returned it to him. He tried to send out his other Pokémon, though they also did not leave their Poké Balls and were returned to him by the Diglett. Realizing that his Pokémon did not want to battle the Diglett, he deemed it pointless to stay and left with his cheerleaders in their convertible.

In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Gary went digging for [[Fossil]]s in [[Grampa Canyon]]. As soon as Gary starts, he finds something he thinks is a Fossil. However, when one of the members of the excavation team takes a closer look, he realizes that it is a Pokémon's dung. Later, when an {{p|Aerodactyl}} gets out of control, Gary is one of those affected by {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song that puts everyone to sleep. At the end of the day, when [[Officer Jenny]] decides to close the archaeological site, Gary is suspicious of the excuse given for the presence of the Fossil Pokémon that were out of control.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Gary was on vacation rather than bothering to challenge the local [[Cinnabar Gym]]. When Gary is confronted by Ash, he reveals to his rival that there has been no Gym in [[Cinnabar Island]] for several years. Later, Gary finds Ash again while [[Ash's friends|Ash's group]] was looking for a place to stay, trying to humiliate Ash, Gary offers food in exchange for Ash to do what he asks. Soon after, Jigglypuff appears and thinking it's a show, Gary and the cheerleaders end up falling asleep, which makes the Balloon Pokémon angry.

In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', he revealed that he had already received ten [[Badge]]s. He then went to the challenge the {{gy|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}. At first he seemed to be winning, knocking out his {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Kingler}} with his {{p|Nidoking}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, respectively. However, the tide of the battle turned when Giovanni sent out {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} (disguised in armor). Though Gary was allowed to use both his Pokémon against him, Mewtwo made quick work of Gary's team, and he lost the battle. When Ash and his friends later entered the Gym, they found Gary and his cheerleaders lying unconscious on the floor. Once Ash revived him, Gary warned Ash about that Pokémon's power. He asserted that Giovanni's mysterious Pokémon was not only powerful, but also evil—and that no Trainer would ever beat it. Gary then watched Ash battle {{TRT}}, who had appeared as the temporary Gym Leaders and invited Ash to challenge them. During the battle, he tackles {{MTR}} to prevent him from using a remote to detonate the platform where Ash stood. He also admits that Ash is a good Trainer after watching his team defeating all the Pokémon that Team Rocket used. Following the battle, Gary flees the collapsing Gym with the others.

In ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary returned to Pallet Town and headed to the lobby of Professor Oak's Laboratory. The grandfather mentioned to both Ash and Gary that they were the top Trainers, noting the other two couldn't compare with their battling skills. Professor Oak then showed Gary's collection of Pokémon to Ash. Although he had seen more Pokémon, Gary had managed to catch a far greater amount. After Team Rocket was defeated, he promised Ash that they would have their battle at the Pokémon League.

[[File:Gary and Oak.png|thumb|left|220px|Gary and his grandfather]]
In ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', Gary met up with Ash in the Pokémon League in [[Indigo Plateau]]. He departed the area after claiming he would get ''Loseritis''. The next day, he was seen in the stadium with the other Trainers and Ash. Gary did not stay that long as his opponent, [[Melissa]], defeated his Nidoking using her Golem, which eliminated him from the Pokémon League. Following the loss, he left on another journey.

Gary eventually returned from that journey in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Much unlike his former self, he congratulated Ash on his victory in the [[Orange League]]. Ash challenged him to a battle in the [[EP116|next episode]] with {{AP|Pikachu}} as his choice. Gary in turn used his {{TP|Gary|Eevee}}. Gary managed to defeat Ash and then left on his journey through [[Johto]].

Ash and his friends encountered Gary on their way to [[Violet City]] in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''. Gary recommended they find themselves a {{p|Hoothoot}} to avoid becoming lost in the particularly disorientating forest before leaving to continue catching more Pokémon.

In ''[[EP171|Power Play]]'', he battled a Trainer named [[Alex Davis]] with his {{p|Umbreon}}, which had [[Evolution|evolved]] from his Eevee prior. Gary was able to defeat Alex and his {{p|Alakazam}}. The battle made Ash want to challenge Gary next, but he refused and walked off. Ash sent out his other Pokémon to battle Umbreon, but Gary had already left. From their campsite, Gary and Umbreon noticed a blackout in a town Ash and his friends were in. The two jumped into the rescue of the Power Plant when it was attacked by the Team Rocket trio with their Robo-Mecha {{p|Wobbuffet}}. Following the mecha's defeat, Gary worked with Ash and his friends to get the power back on.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', he was practicing with Arcanine for the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]]. He then entered the race and competed against Ash and his {{AP|Bayleef}}. They were both in the lead, though Ash was able to narrowly win the event.

Gary arrived in {{jo|Silver Town}} in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'' to compete in the [[Silver Conference]]. He greeted Ash and exchanged pleasantries, promising to get to the top and defeat him. Gary was able to get past the screening round along with Ash and {{jo|Harrison}}.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' and ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', he battled Ash in an intense [[Full Battle]]. In the final round, Ash ended up winning the battle when his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated Gary's Blastoise, eliminating him from the tournament. Afterwards, Gary continued to support Ash's campaign from the sidelines.

By ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', Gary decided that he didn't want to be a Pokémon Trainer anymore, but instead a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon researcher]] like his grandfather. Gary managed to reach Pallet Town a few days before Ash, and as he was preparing to leave for his next venture with just his Blastoise, Ash encountered him in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''. Gary's fresh start approach inspired Ash's desire to travel to [[Hoenn]].

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
Gary appeared in a flashback to Ash's childhood in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', Gary was revealed to be working on [[Sayda Island]] as a [[Fossil]] researcher with [[Dora]], head of the Sayda Lab. There, he revived an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from an [[Old Amber]]. At first, the Aerodactyl was afraid of him and every other person on the island. However, Gary gained its trust after he fed it some fruit that Aerodactyl used to eat. Afterwards, Dora announced that Gary could now work full-time at the Sayda Lab.

Eventually, he moved to the [[Sinnoh]] region, where he was conducting his research. He sent a postcard to Ash from there in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', which motivated him to not to get himself down after a loss and keep fighting, much like he did during their rivalry.

In ''[[AG192|Home Is Where The Start Is!]]'', Gary reunited with Ash. He battled him with his {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} and defeated Ash's Pikachu once more.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
[[File:Gary Oak DP.png|thumb|220px|Gary in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']]
During his time in Sinnoh, Gary became an assistant of [[Professor Rowan]]. As before, Gary conducts his research on rare Pokémon, including [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] and [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Gary demonstrated more maturity and more respect for other people, especially with Ash. Upon meeting him, {{an|Dawn}} thought that he was a poet like his {{an|Professor Oak|grandfather}}.

In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', he was taking care of a group of {{p|Shieldon}} and protected them from [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her minions]]. Gary and Ash were forced to join forces to defeat the enemy, even though Ash has been against it. However, thanks to the efforts of the two they managed to save Shieldon from the hands of J.

He appeared again in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', where he helped Ash and {{AP|Gligar}} by giving a [[Razor Fang]] to Ash. This caused Gligar to [[Evolution|evolve]] later on. He was in the area after hearing rumors of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, whom Ash had seen earlier at [[Lake Valor]].

Gary later appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', working alongside Professor Rowan at [[Valor Lakefront]] where he attempted to protect Azelf from J and [[Team Galactic]]; however, he was unable to defeat [[Saturn]] in battle. He later monitored the changes around [[Mt. Coronet]] caused by [[Cyrus]]'s attempts to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Gary and Professor Rowan later arrived to collect the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s after Ash's group and {{an|Cynthia}} handled Team Galactic.

It's [[JN068|later revealed]] that Gary followed Ash's attendance at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], in particular the battle between him and [[Paul]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
Gary later reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Gary Pokemon.png|250px|thumb|left|Gary in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'']]
Gary reappeared in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', using his Blastoise to save Ash and [[Goh]] from an {{p|Onix}} that Goh failed to catch. While reuniting with Ash, Gary revealed that he had left Sinnoh to travel the world to research Pokémon. After being introduced to Goh, he let both of them know that he is pursuing the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Moltres}}, while Ash told him that he was looking for his lost {{AP|Infernape}}. They both agreed to help each other with their respective tasks.

After a bit of journeying, they arrived in a valley, where they found both Infernape and Moltres, and proceeded to battle the latter. After an intense match, they managed to damage Moltres enough to force it to retreat, while Gary retrieved a burning feather that it had dropped. Back at Professor Oak's Laboratory, Gary was revealed to be participating in [[Project Mew]], with retrieving a Moltres feather having been his [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. Gary subsequently left to continue his research.
[[File:Goh and Gary.png|thumb|250px|Gary and Goh]]
Gary reappeared in ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', where he briefly met Ash and Goh as they arrived in Sinnoh for Goh's first Project Mew mission.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Gary was seen at the [[Seafoam Islands]] in search of an {{p|Articuno}}. On finding Articuno, Gary took part in a [[Raid Battle]] with Ash, Goh, and [[Horace]], using {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}, and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, only for Articuno to eventually fly away. Despite this, Gary managed to obtain Tokens for the mission and an extra Token for leading the battle, a short time later, before going his way Gary had a brief conversation with Goh about the posture a Challenger should have.

In [[JN110]], Goh was informed that Gary was on another mission led by [[Quillon]]. Shortly after the conclusion of the [[Sea Mauville]] battle royale, Quillon informed [[Danika]] that Gary had successfully completed his mission. In the display of the current Project Mew Challenger placings, Gary was revealed to be the highest-ranked Challenger in Project Mew with a total of 12 tokens.

In [[JN113]], Gary assisted Goh in the final Trial Mission at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]]. After defeating [[Lyla]] and [[Shunya]], they teamed up to take on {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, with both of them successfully catching one of them and officially becoming Chasers afterwards.

====Character====
[[File:Ash and Gary.png|thumb|250px|left|Gary and Ash]]
The day he started out on his [[Pokémon journey]], he came off as an arrogant {{pkmn|Trainer}}, much like his {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}. His chosen [[starter Pokémon]] was {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, which was actually the same Pokémon that {{Ash}} originally wanted to start with. He even had a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. He didn't walk on his journeys like most Trainers did; instead, he had his own sporty red convertible with a chauffeur. Gary loved when he got a chance to make fun of Ash by bragging about how far behind Ash was compared to him. He also gave Ash the pet name of "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: {{tt|"Satoshi''-kun''"|Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name and ''-kun'' is a Japanese honorific, kun can be considered insulting when not used among friends}}), which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to capture many Pokémon and to use the strongest, as a stark contrast to Ash, who focused on developing a bond with his Pokémon.

His arrogance continued over time during Ash's journey in [[Kanto]] until he challenged the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}, to a Pokémon battle for his final (but unnecessary) [[Badge]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where he was brutally defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. However, this still didn't change his arrogance. It would take a loss at the [[Pokémon League]] way later on against [[Melissa]] for him to finally realize that he greatly needed to change himself. Following his loss, Gary would become more polite and respectful of others, no longer showing any of his arrogant and extravagant tendencies from the past. This change in attitude would continue to be apparent throughout his few appearances during the [[Johto]] season.

As Ash's first and longest [[rival]], his relationship and rivalry with Ash would prove to play a pivotal role on the latter's outlook as a Trainer. Despite his low opinion of Ash, Gary would make a point to show off his superiority in every way he could during his earlier appearances. The duo's dynamic would see a major change once Gary was abruptly eliminated in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], with Gary growing humble and ceasing his arrogance and antagonistic attitude towards Ash, though he would still tease him at times. By the time of the [[Silver Conference]], Ash and Gary would have a more amiable relationship with one another while still maintaining a sense of rivalry. After his defeat against Ash, Gary would graciously accept his defeat and gave him his half of the {{i|Poké Ball}}, symbolizing the end of their rivalry and the renewal of their friendship. Even after ending his rivalry with Ash, Gary would continue to have an impact on Ash and his journey moving forward, continuing to serve as a motivation towards him while at times lending him a helping hand.

[[File:Gary petting Umbreon.png|220px|thumb|Gary petting his Umbreon]]

====Pokémon====
Since the very start of his own journey, Gary has shown exceptional skill as a Pokémon Trainer, catching and training an astonishing number and variety of strong Pokémon in a short period of time and losing battles very infrequently. Despite the huge amount of Pokémon he owns, Gary takes very good care of them all, as noticed by {{an|Brock}} and {{Tracey}} when they first saw his {{TP|Gary|Eevee}}. As revealed by himself in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary often rotated the Pokémon in his party to suit the needs of the battles he would participate in. During his journey in Johto, Gary however was seen training and focusing only on specific members of his team such as {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}.

In ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish!]]'', Gary chose to leave his Pokémon with his grandfather with the exception of {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, but over time he recruited some of the Pokémon to help with various tasks and research.

As of ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary had captured more than 200 Pokémon from 60 different species.

Gary's currenty party is made up of Pokémon that he uses in his quests for [[Project Mew]], Gary has a tendency to use those that best fit the corresponding quest. This listing is for Gary's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===Pokémon Newspaper Strip===
{{incomplete|section}}
Gary is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]]. He debuted in {{strip|7}}, showing off his {{p|Rapidash}} to [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]]. [[Ash's Metapod]] deflected Rapidash's fire move, defeating Rapidash. In {{strip|9}}, Gary's {{p|Beedrill}} battled [[Brock's Vulpix]] at school, but their match was interrupted once a teacher told everyone to return their Pokémon to their [[Poké Ball]]s. In {{strip|13}}, Gary challenged {{Ash}} to a battle, with Gary's Charizard going up against Ash's Pikachu. Ash was confident he would win, but he was ultimately unable to battle when he became trapped under his {{AP|Snorlax}}.

==Trivia==
* Gary is one of the few characters from the [[original series]], who appeared during both [[dub]]s of the {{pkmn|anime}}, to have his English dub voice remain unchanged; he is always voiced by [[Carter Cathcart]].
* Gary is one of the few characters to have a surname in the Japanese version of the anime.
* In the original series, Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}. In his ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' appearances, Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In his appearance in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Interestingly, the cape he adorns in [[OK!]], its equivalent [[Pokémon Johto]] and in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' resembles the one worn by his cross-canon manga counterpart {{adv|Blue}} in the {{chap|Yellow}}.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of each of the special Pokémon that can appear on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} via [[dual-slot mode]], [[Mass outbreak|swarming]], or the [[Poké Radar]] ({{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and {{p|Dodrio}}).
* In [[Pokémon Stickers series 1]], a sticker depicting Gary identified him as "'''Bailey'''". The same error occurred in the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. The occurrence of the same error in two apparently unrelated sources might indicate an early-planned name, much like how Ash was initially known as "Casey".
* Although Ash's flashback in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' seems to suggest that Gary and Ash were childhood friends, this is contradicted by Gary's conversation with Ash in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when they first started off on their Pokémon journeys; it indicated that was the first time they met.
** This is further contradicted in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'', where Ash and Gary interacted with each other mere days before they set out on their journeys, with the two already knowing each other for sometime beforehand based on their exchange.
* Gary is the only character from Ash's fantasy sequence in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' to not be one of his traveling companions.
* Gary is the only character whose game counterpart is a {{pkmn|Champion}}, but hasn't been a Champion at any point in the anime.
* Excluding Ash, Gary is the only character to have participated in more than one on-screen {{pkmn|League Conference}}.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', aside from his being {{an|Professor Oak}}'s grandson, he is also the grandnephew of [[Pallet Town]]'s mayor. It also explains that his girlfriends are the mayor's electoral staff.

'''Goh''' (Japanese: '''ゴウ''' ''Go'') is a {{ashfr|protagonist}} of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' of the [[Pokémon anime]], and one of {{Ash}}'s [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]]. His goal is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Mew}}, while his dream is to catch every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Goh.png|thumb|left|250px|Goh at the age of six]]
As seen in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', when he was six, Goh was invited by his childhood friend [[Chloe]] to go to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp with her. During their visit to [[Pallet Town]], Goh and Chloe encountered the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. The two chased after the unknown Pokémon, but it eventually got away in the aftermath of a baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} rescue. Professor Oak later told them the Pokémon they saw was most likely Mew. Motivated, Goh swore that he would become a [[Pokémon Trainer]] when he turned ten, and one day {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Mew.

As revealed in ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Goh was always alone during his childhood because his parents [[Camille]] and [[Walker]] were often very busy at work. Because of that, he always ended up staying at home alone waiting for them. During that time, he was always distracted by his constant online researching sessions. Despite this, he was always proud of what his family did.

[[JN032|Three years prior]], during a family trip to [[Azalea Town]], Goh befriended [[Horace]], who was looking for the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Celebi}}. Goh offered to help with the search, but as night closed in, the boys promised to meet up again the next day. However, Horace didn't show up, leading Goh to feel betrayed.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', Goh witnessed a {{p|Lugia}} appearing in the skies above [[Vermilion City]]. He chased Lugia down and managed to latch onto its tail, where he met another Trainer named {{Ash}}. Lugia allowed the boys to ride on its back as it soared through the skies and dived down into the ocean. Having bonded over the sights and the Pokémon they saw during the ride, Goh decided to accept Ash as his friend. After parting ways with Lugia, Goh and Ash returned to the [[Cerise Laboratory]], where they informed everyone about their encounter. Impressed by the information on Lugia that they brought back, [[Professor Cerise]] offered them a position as research fellows, which they accepted. Cerise later allowed Goh to pick from a set of [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] for his debut as a Trainer, but Goh rejected all of them, stating he wanted his first Pokémon to be Mew.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Goh and Ash received their first task as research fellows: to investigate a sudden outbreak of {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the city. To aid their mission, Cerise had two {{p|Rotom}} enter Goh and Ash's smartphones, upgrading each into a [[Rotom Phone]]. After following the Seed Pokémon to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} under construction, Goh and Ash were attacked by {{TRT}}, who planned to steal the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur. Despite the powerful Pokémon they received from the [[Rocket Prize Master]], Team Rocket was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and sent blasting off. Goh and Ash then discovered that the Ivysaur had gone to the Gym to find a high place for them to absorb the sunlight needed to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Venusaur}}. They watched as the evolution process released pollen into the air, making flowers around the city bloom.

In ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]'', Goh and Ash traveled to the [[Galar]] [[region]] to research the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. While they waited for the train to the [[Wild Area]] to arrive, Goh and Ash decided to eat some scones at a store in [[Wyndon]], only to have their food stolen by a wild {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} and its {{p|Nickit}} friends. After Ash battled and defeated Scorbunny, Goh bonded with it, even choosing to lie to the store owner by saying Scorbunny belonged to him when the Nickit stole more of his food. After hearing Scorbunny's backstory from the store owner, Goh gave it words of encouragement before he and Ash left. Goh and Ash eventually made it to their train, completely unaware that Scorbunny had taken a liking to Goh and started to follow him.
[[File:Goh Kanto Bug Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Goh with all the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon he caught in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'']]
In ''[[JN005|Mind-Boggling Dynamax!]]'', Goh and Ash made it to the Wild Area, where they encountered a large {{p|Snorlax}}. Mistakenly assuming its size was due to Dynamax, Goh and Ash tried studying the Sleeping Pokémon, only for Scorbunny to appear and interrupt them. Scorbunny wished to join Goh's team, but it was turned down as Goh still wanted his first Pokémon to be Mew. Snorlax then [[Gigantamax]]ed, making its body so large that it covered a nearby train track, putting it at risk of being hit by an incoming train. By teaming up with Scorbunny, Goh managed to get Snorlax to move by luring it with a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Praising its skill, Goh changed his mind about Mew and instead caught Scorbunny as his first Pokémon. After returning to the Cerise Laboratory, Goh introduced Scorbunny as his first-ever Pokémon to Professor Cerise.

In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', Goh became inspired to fill up his [[Pokédex]] by catching lots of Pokémon as part of his quest to obtain Mew. Together with Ash, Goh traveled to a nearby forest, where he caught one of each {{type|Bug}} native to Kanto. The next day, Professor Cerise introduced Goh to the Cerise Park, allowing Goh to store any Pokémon he caught on his journey.
[[File:Goh and Scorbunny first battle.png|thumb|250px|left|Goh and Scorbunny in their first battle]]
In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Ash told Goh to come with him to the [[Hoenn]] {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Battle Frontier}}, where he entered them into the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]] tournament. Despite having the type advantage, Goh was defeated in the first {{pkmn|battle}} by [[Hodge]] without managing to land a single hit on his opponent. Frustrated by his loss, Goh decided that catching Pokémon was better than battling and ran off to continue filling up his Pokédex. He later returned in time to watch the final match between Ash and Hodge, which ended in Ash's victory. As they returned home, Goh apologized to Ash for his earlier outburst, having come to see battling in a new light through his observation of the final match.

In ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', Goh and Ash watched the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. They watched as {{an|Leon}} defeated [[Lance]] in the finals and subsequently earned the title of Monarch. Shortly afterwards, a Gigantamax {{p|Drednaw}} attacked the stadium. In [[JN013|the next episode]], Goh and Ash battled Drednaw, but they were unable to harm it until Pikachu was accidentally exposed to Dynamax energy, causing him to Gigantamax as well. With guidance from Leon, Ash and Pikachu defeated Drednaw, reverting it back to its normal state. The next day, Goh watched as Ash had an unofficial battle with Leon that ended in the latter's victory. As they returned home, Ash revealed that he planned to enter the World Coronation Series and hopefully battle Leon again in the finals.

In ''[[JN017|Kicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!]]'', Scorbunny attempted to use {{m|Ember}} after {{p|Darmanitan}} taunted it for being unable to use {{type|Fire}} moves. Goh told Scorbunny not to bother as he felt its current moveset was good enough. During a battle with Team Rocket, Scorbunny tried to use Ember despite not having mastered the move, but this led to it being defeated by Team Rocket's {{p|Chewtle}}. When Goh criticized Scorbunny for trying too hard, it ran off to go train by itself. Later, after another clash with Team Rocket, Goh finally understood Scorbunny's passion and told it to kick a pebble with its heated-up feet. This allowed Scorbunny to master Ember, who proceeded to evolve into a {{p|Raboot}} before sending Team Rocket blasting off again. When asked to celebrate with a high-five, Raboot simply ignored Goh and walked away.

In ''[[JN022|Goodbye, Friend!]]'', while in [[Littleroot Town]], Raboot stopped a pair of {{p|Zigzagoon}} from stealing Ash's backpack. During their stay, Goh noticed that Raboot had been sneaking out at night, prompting him and Ash to follow it. They discovered that Raboot had befriended the Zigzagoon as well as a {{p|Lombre}} and had been spending the nights giving them dance lessons. When Raboot struggled against a {{p|Loudred}} trio in a dance battle for territory, Goh, Ash, and Pikachu stepped in to provide a beat for Raboot and its friends to dance to, enabling them to win the battle. The next day, Goh decided to leave Raboot in Hoenn, believing it would be happier with its new friends than with him. When Ash asked if he told Raboot first, Goh quickly regretted his decision. To his relief, Raboot had followed them onto the train. Afterwards, Goh and Raboot settled their differences and reconciled.

In ''[[JN028|Sobbing Sobble!]]'', Goh encountered a {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} in Wyndon. He tried befriending the Water Lizard Pokémon, only for it to run away and hide by blending into its surroundings. Frustrated, Goh blindly threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at the fountain Sobble was hiding in, accidentally catching it. Later, a failed attempt to catch a {{p|Silicobra}} led to Sobble running away. Goh and Ash eventually found Sobble captured by Team Rocket. After hearing Goh praise it despite its timid nature, Sobble broke free from its cage, only to be pinned down by one of Team Rocket's Pokémon, causing it to cry. Sobble's tears kept Team Rocket distracted long enough for Goh and Ash to send them blasting off.
[[File:Goh Family.png|thumb|250px|Goh and his parents]]
In ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'', Goh returned to [[Ilex Forest]] during another family vacation to [[Azalea Town]]. His anger towards Horace was resolved when he found a letter from him at the [[Ilex Forest shrine]], which explained why he didn't show up, and then reunited with Horace as he was passing through.

In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Goh and Ash arrived on [[Melemele Island]] in the [[Alola]] region. There, Goh met Ash's Alolan friends, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}. After being challenged by Kiawe to see if he was worthy of being Ash's [[rival]], Goh denied this claim and stated he was Ash's friend and research fellow partner. The battle was called off after Goh's Raboot failed to stop [[Kiawe's Turtonator]]'s {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. Despite Goh's loss, his refusal to back down even when attacked by a powerful [[Z-Move]] impressed Kiawe, who asked Goh to take care of Ash. Afterward, everyone spent time on an island, where Goh caught an {{rf|Alolan|Exeggutor}}.
[[File:Goh and Dynamax Band.png|thumb|250px|left|Goh and his Dynamax Band]]
In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield: Slumbering Weald!]]'', Goh and Ash were sent to Galar to investigate various incidents where Pokémon suddenly began Dynamaxing at random. Shortly after arriving, Goh and Ash chased a wild {{p|Bunnelby}} into the [[Slumbering Weald]], where they encountered {{p|Zamazenta}} and {{p|Zacian}}. Their attempts to catch and battle the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] ended in failure as they were merely illusions. After exiting the forest, Goh met with [[Sonia]] again and headed with her to investigate the ruins in [[Turffield]]. In [[JN043|the following episode]], Sonia took Goh to visit her grandmother [[Professor Magnolia]] to learn more about Dynamax. Goh later received a [[Dynamax Band]] from Sonia, which was fashioned from a [[Wishing Star]] they found outside. The next day, at the [[Stow-on-Side]] mural, Goh and Sonia were approached by [[Oleana's subordinate]], who aimed to stop the duo's research. Goh Dynamaxed Raboot to battle Oleana's subordinate's Gigantamax {{p|Garbodor}}, but the clash broke the mural, revealing a statue of Zacian and Zamazenta underneath.

In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', after defeating Oleana's subordinate, Goh and Sonia fled the area and drove off to the Slumbering Weald. They called out to Zacian and Zamazenta, asking for their help in stopping the Darkest Day. Zacian and Zamazenta's illusions led them to the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]]. Goh took the weapons and went with Sonia to [[Hammerlocke]] to meet with Ash, but was stopped by [[Oleana]]. In [[JN045|the following episode]], Goh and Raboot defeated Oleana's {{p|Milotic}} after Raboot evolved into {{p|Cinderace}}, learning {{m|Pyro Ball}} in the process. Goh and Ash reunited on the top of [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], where they witnessed Leon losing to {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, the true identity of the Darkest Day. The Rusted Shield and Sword summoned Zamazenta and Zacian, who aided Goh and Ash in battling Eternatus. Once it was weakened enough, Goh managed to catch Eternatus, who was later sealed away by Professor Magnolia to prevent its power from causing more harm to Galar. With he crisis over, Goh and Ash returned to the Slumbering Weald, where they returned the Rusted Shield and Sword and thanked Zamazenta and Zacian for their assistance.

In ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]'', Goh and Ash traveled to [[Cero Island]] after Professor Cerise detected an energy signature similar to Mew coming from that location. They traversed the island and encountered {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, a powerful Legendary Pokémon cloned from Mew. When questioned on how catching all Pokémon species would lead him to Mew, Goh explained his belief that capturing Pokémon helps understand them, and that catching all Pokémon would help him understand Mew since it has the genes of all Pokémon species. Goh and Ash challenged Mewtwo to a battle, but were unable to defeat it despite their best efforts. Mewtwo commended Goh and Ash's dedication to their goals and parted ways with the boys, bidding them farewell with the promise that their journeys had only just begun. It then teleported them back to the Cerise Laboratory, allowing them to retain their memories of the encounter.
[[File:Goh and Suicune.png|thumb|250px|Goh and his Suicune]]
In ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]'', Goh and Ash went to [[Johto]], where multiple sightings of a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}} had been reported. When they found Suicune tied up by a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|JN053}}, Goh used a Poké Ball to free Suicune from its bindings. To his shock, the Aurora Pokémon was actually captured, forcing Goh to go ahead and heal Suicune's injuries while Ash stayed behind to keep the hunters busy. While initially wary of the boy's kindness, Suicune began letting its guard down once it saw how much Goh wanted to help it. When Goh tried fighting the hunters' boss, Suicune stepped in to help and defeated the hunters. The hunters were arrested and Goh tried releasing Suicune, but it chose to stay with him. After being brought to Cerise Park, Suicune vanished and went back to roaming the world.

In ''[[JN059|When a House is Not a Home!]]'', Goh found a {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} asleep with him in his bed. Goh tried to catch Grookey, only to find out it already had a Trainer. The following day, Goh and Ash went to find Grookey's Trainer, but were shocked to learn it came from the Rocket Prize Master and belonged to Team Rocket. When Team Rocket arrived, they discovered Grookey was theirs and recalled it before escaping. The next day, Goh attempted to return Grookey's stick, which was left behind when Team Rocket fled. He was soon reunited with Grookey, who revealed it wished to stay with him. Jessie tried to forcibly recall Grookey again, only for Pikachu to knock the Poké Ball out of her hand and give Grookey the chance to break it. Jessie and Goh both attempted to capture the now-released Grookey, but Grookey batted away the Team Rocket-branded Poké Ball, allowing Goh's Poké Ball to catch it.

In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Goh and Ash paid a visit to Professor Oak. Upon learning that Goh had registered Suicune in his Pokédex, Professor Oak suggested recommending Goh for [[Project Mew]], a research team dedicated to the search for Mew. Goh rejected the offer, stating he would much rather work on his goal alone. When Ash was told that his {{AP|Infernape}} had gone missing for several days, he and Goh went to go find it. While on the search, Goh and Ash encountered {{Gary}}, Ash's childhood friend and former [[rival]]. Gary revealed he was searching for the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Moltres}} and suggested that Infernape left the lab for the same reason. At a nearby valley, Goh and the others found Infernape calling out to Moltres for a battle. When Moltres answered the call, Goh, Ash, and Gary worked together to battle it. Though they failed to defeat Moltres, Gary obtained one of its feathers, successfully completing a Trial Mission he received from Project Mew. Later, after parting ways with Gary, Goh revealed he changed his mind and decided to join Project Mew after all.
[[File:Goh Gary Horace Token JN102.png|thumb|left|250px|Goh with his fellow Project Mew Chasers Gary and Horace]]
In ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', Goh went to [[Sinnoh]] to officially join Project Mew with Ash accompanying him. However, after meeting [[Danika]] and [[Professor Amaranth]], Goh was informed that he had to pass a qualified mission in order to start getting Trail Missions, as his mission was to catch an {{rf||Alolan}} {{p|Ninetales}}, who was wound up in Sinnoh when it got captured and was subsequently lost by Pokémon Hunters. Goh accepted the mission as he went to [[Mount Coronet]] with Ash to find the Alolan Ninetales. Along the way, Goh and Ash met another member of Project Mew named [[Quillon]]. Through the help of his Pokémon, Goh was able to catch the Alolan Ninetales and qualify to get Trial Missions for Project Mew.

Starting from ''[[JN080|Trial on a Golden Scale!]]'', Goh occasionally took on Project Mew Trial Missions. Initially, he preferred missions where he could act on his own, but eventually, he learned to cooperate in a team. The Trial Missions culminated in [[JN113]] with Goh's capture of {{p|Regieleki}}, earning Goh enough Project Mew tokens to become a Chaser.

===Character===
[[File:Goh anime.png|thumb|250px|Goh looking at his smart phone]]
Goh is a stylish city boy who prefers to stay calm and collected, in contrast to the more instinctive and adventurous {{Ash}}. His overconfidence has left him isolated from other people, with the exception of his friends [[Chloe]] and Ash. According to Chloe, Goh has been known to skip school to wander around town, much to her chagrin. Despite his calm personality, he can become hot-blooded when his opinion is challenged, and he will not hesitate to defend others when he sees them being mistreated, which helped him bond with a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} in ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]''. Goh likes to throw his [[Poké Ball]]s with a [[Catch rate (GO)|curve]], but his aim tends to be off. Though he seems athletic, Goh lacks good climbing skills despite his efforts to get better at it. He is highly knowledgeable about Pokémon, being fairly adept at information-gathering and analyzing, both of which are useful in gathering clues. Despite his deep knowledge of Pokémon, Goh is still a rookie Trainer and lacks experience, best evidenced by his tendency to throw Poké Balls at any Pokémon he encounters, rather than weaken them through battle as is the usual practice. This usually backfires on Goh in the long run. For example, in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', he recklessly wasted all of the Poké Balls he was given to catch a single {{TP|Goh|Dewgong}}, which resulted in him being unable to catch the {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary line when he and Ash encountered them on Dragonite Island. His lack of expertise is also evidenced in his battles, where he shows a tactical, by-the-book approach of exploiting type advantages, but is unable to properly respond against more seasoned adversaries, which leads to a crushing defeat. Goh tends to yell "Go!" when sending out his Pokémon or throwing Poké Balls.

[[File:Goh goal.png|thumb|250px|left|Goh's goal]]
Goh's encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six inspired him to become a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and he initially wanted Mew to be his [[starter Pokémon]], even going as far as rejecting [[Professor Cerise]]'s starter Pokémon in favor of the [[Mythical Pokémon]]. However, during his visit to [[Galar]], a wild Scorbunny took a liking to Goh as it followed him and Ash to the [[Wild Area]]. While Goh initially politely rejected Scorbunny, he soon changed his mind after working together with Scorbunny to solve a crisis involving a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Snorlax}} and decided to make the Rabbit Pokémon as his first Pokémon partner instead. Goh and Scorbunny are alike as they both dislike losing their friends, especially one another. Goh and Scorbunny would high five each other whenever something good happened.

As a child in ''[[JN062|Not Too Close for Comfort!]]'', Goh used to be shy around people and wouldn't talk to them, and would sit out at night looking at the stars for comfort. When he was asked by his teacher as to why he wasn't interacting with the other kids, he wasn't able to answer her question because he didn't know why himself. Eventually, he learned to talk with people and was able to overcome his shyness. Ever since the events in ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]'', Goh developed a fear of ghosts and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, expect for those he and his friends own.

[[File:Ash Goh Chloe.png|thumb|250px|Goh with Ash and Chloe]]
Goh shares a very close friendship with Chloe due to him knowing her since they were little. At times, Goh brushes off Chloe's concerns for him but knows that she is just looking out for him. When he was little, Goh only wanted Chloe as his friend and nobody else. However, after meeting and getting to know Ash, Goh realized he needed to make friends besides Chloe and accepted him as one. Goh's friendship with Ash is very strong, though they sometimes get competitive and annoyed with each other and even butt heads. Ever since the events in ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Goh seems to strongly admire Ash for his determination, passion, and compassion for Pokémon, especially the extraordinary bond he shares with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Goh has occasionally taken inspiration from Ash, with the bond between Ash and Pikachu inspiring Goh to catch [[Goh's Raichu|his own]] in ''[[JN035|Gotta Catch a What?!]]'', as well as deciding to catch an {{p|Altaria}} in [[JN105]] after watching Ash battle against one in the [[JN104|previous episode]].

Goh has changed significantly during his journey, particularly as a person and Trainer, but his knowledge and tendency to be overconfident have remained. Goh has also become open to new experiences and making new friends, especially those who used to travel with Ash. Goh has learned to put his Pokémon happiness and needs first before himself, and would help them solve or work out their problems. In addition, Goh has improved his battling skills, even using some of Ash's tactics for battling. However, despite his growth, Goh struggled with teamwork, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', when he declined to join [[Project Mew]] because of this reason, but changed his mind when {{Gary}} motivated him to do so. This was shown again in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', when Goh's attempt to defeat {{p|Articuno}} in a [[Raid Battle]] on his own nearly caused him to fail the [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. As time passed, Goh learned about teamwork, to the point that he was willing to work together with others, as seen with [[Horace]] in [[JN110]] and Gary in [[JN113]].

===Pokémon===
Because one of his goals is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and complete his [[Pokédex]], Goh catches a lot of Pokémon species, including multiple members of the same [[evolution|evolutionary family]] and Pokémon that have [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolutions]], as well as Pokémon that have [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]] and a [[regional form]]. Currently, Goh is known to own 107 Pokémon, with 115 unique Pokémon species registered in his Pokédex. During his journey, Goh has encountered some Trainers with similar goals, such as [[Shane Seeker]], who seeks to capture all [[Shiny Pokémon]], and [[Kricketina Kylie]], a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon collector.

In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', Goh managed to capture all [[Generation I]] Bug-type Pokémon, which, according to Kricketina Kylie, makes him Kanto's "Bug Pokéking". During his research, Goh has access to several of his Pokémon, rotating between them. The only fixed members on his [[Party|team]] are the [[Galar]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s.

Ash and Goh traveled to [[Kalos]] to find a new flower for her, eventually succeeding. Almost immediately afterwards, she evolved into Floette.

Goh was tasked by [[Project Mew]] to catch it so that it could be returned to its home. Goh failed to catch it during his initial encounter with it, but during the second encounter, he managed to convince it to let itself be caught so that it could be taken back home.

====Achievements====
Goh has competed in the following competitions:
* [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]] - Top 8 (''[[JNM03|Battle Frontier Challenge: The Flute Cup!]]'')

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
Goh appears in an event based on ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' from November 6, 2020 to November 12, 2020, as the character's clothes are available for the player's avatar. Just as during this period, an image of Goh appears during Photo Boomb, when this occurs a {{TP|Goh|Scyther}} appears to be captured. Other Pokémon based on Goh's captures during the series also appeared more in the wild, such as {{TP|Goh|Golurk}} and {{TP|Goh|Cubone}}.<ref>https://pokemongolive.com/post/animationweek2020/?hl=en</ref>

===[[Pokémon Ga-Olé]]===
Goh appears as a character in [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]]'s {{ga-ole|Grand Rush set 4}} as part of a tie-in with the anime. Goh replaced the Experienced Trainer that would normally appear in Golden Chance as well as Mister Trade who would normally appear in Trade Chance! He, along with Ash, also appeared as opponents in Trainer and Battle Mode, which was available to challenge from February 24, 2020. This was considerably earlier into the set's duration compared to other sets—the {{ga-ole|Ultra Legend set 4|fourth Ultra Legend set}}, which also featured special opponents in Trainer and Battle Mode, shares this trait. The lineup included one new Trainer class in addition to Ash and Goh, who had their [[hometown]] as part of their name instead of "Pokémon Trainer". Promotional disks could also be dispensed for an additional ¥100 following battles with Goh or Ash, with 'WINNER' versions available to players who successfully defeated their teams. Players facing Goh could receive a {{OBP|Scorbunny|Trainer and Battle}} disk.

'''Chloe''' (Japanese: '''コハル''' ''Koharu'') is a major supporting character who appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. She lives in [[Vermilion City]] with her family and attends [[Vermilion City school|a school]] there as well. Chloe is also a childhood friend of [[Goh]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Chloe young.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Chloe]]
As seen in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', when she was six, Chloe invited her childhood friend [[Goh]] to attend {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp with her. During their visit in [[Pallet Town]], Chloe and Goh encountered the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Mew}}. The two chased after the unknown Pokémon, but it eventually got away in the aftermath of a baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} rescue. Professor Oak later told them the Pokémon they saw was most likely the Mythical Pokémon Mew.

At one point, Chloe's family received a {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}} as a gift from [[Professor Cerise]]'s friend in [[Galar]]. Yamper instantly took a liking to Chloe, but she initially hated him, eventually telling him to go away. When she overheard her parents talking about Yamper's disappearance, she became regretful of her words and sneaked out to look for him. While searching, she was scared by a group of {{p|Venonat}}, but Yamper appeared and scared the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon away. From this point on, Yamper grew even more attached to Chloe, accepting food or battle commands only from her, and Chloe also grew to like Yamper.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Chloe family.png|thumb|250px|Chloe and her family]]
In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', a few years later, during the opening of the [[Cerise Laboratory]], Chloe found Ash passed out after Yamper knocked him down with an {{t|Electric}} attack. However, she discreetly left him lying on the stairs. She later formally introduced herself to Ash when she handed over schoolwork to Goh.

In ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', the students in Chloe's class participated in an exercise where they discussed their dreams for the future. Chloe became frustrated when her classmates immediately assumed she wanted to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] purely because her father is one. She received encouragement from [[Talia]], who told Chloe that she was still young and had plenty of time to decide what she wanted to do with her life. Later, Chloe returned to the laboratory only to find it under attack by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Gengar}}. By commanding Yamper to battle for the first time, Chloe successfully drove Gengar out of the building.

In ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', Chloe accompanied Goh and some children during a [[Pokémon Orienteering]] competition. During the event, Goh and Chloe talked about the former's future and his goal to capture all of the Pokémon in the world.

In ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', Chloe's family found an injured {{p|Pidove}} and let it recuperate at their house. Due to its attachment towards Chloe, Yamper became jealous of Pidove whenever Chloe gave it attention. Despite this, when Pidove was threatened by a wild {{p|Fearow}}, Yamper put his jealousy aside and teamed up with Chloe to battle and defeat the Beak Pokémon, forcing it to flee. Afterwards, Chloe and her family said farewell to Pidove after its {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to the house to retrieve it.

In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', after receiving a call from Parker to help his friend [[Jinny]], Chloe asked Ash and Goh to find out how Jinny could explore the beauty of her {{p|Feebas}}. To improve their skills, Jinny signed up for the [[Friendship Festival]]. While Ash and Goh trained the Pokémon, Chloe helped the girl on how to swim. Later, Chloe, Parker, Ash, and Goh traveled to [[Hoenn]] to watch Jinny participate in the competition.

In ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'', Chloe went with Ash and Goh to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] to work on a research project for school. Despite her initial reluctance, Chloe became motivated to join the search for [[fossil]]s at the museum after a passionate lecture from the museum's [[curator]].

In ''[[JN047|Crowning the Chow Crusher!]]'', Chloe attends a [[Pokémon Grand Eating Contest]] with [[Chrysa]] and her father to watch Ash and Goh, who were participating. Although she was reluctant to come at first, Chloe ends up becoming perception and enthusiastic about the competition as it progresses. When Chloe watches [[Goh's Skwovet]] evolve into {{p|Greedent}}, she finally joins the crowd in celebrating Goh's victory.

In ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]'', Chloe was attending [[Vermilion City school|school]] alongside Goh when she noticed Yamper barking outside. Chloe went out to investigate to find Yamper was helping to hide an {{p|Eevee}} from two people. Thinking they were bad people, Chloe helped Yamper protect Eevee, only to encounter {{TRT}} who had captured the Pokémon belonging to her classmates. Chloe commanded Yamper to attack and with help from Eevee was able to defeat {{p|Pelipper}}. Later, Chloe learnt the people after Eevee were lab assistants at a Research Center regarding Eevee and her evolutions. They were taking Eevee back with them when the Evolution Pokémon indicated that she wanted to stay with Chloe. Goh gave Chloe one of his Poké Balls which she used to catch Eevee. Later, her dad gave her a pink [[Rotom Phone]].

In ''[[JN055|The Tale of You and Glimwood Tangle!]]'', Chloe travels to [[Galar]] to meet a {{rf||Galarian}} {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}}, after reading a book about them, with Ash and Goh accompanying her. However, upon arriving at [[Glimwood Tangle]], Chloe gets separated from her friends, but encounters a Galarian Ponyta and follows the Unique Horn Pokémon. After catching up to Ponyta, Chloe sees that a Galarian Rapidash is injured and decided to tend to it. Chloe remembers that in the book she read before has information about a rainbow flower that might heal Rapidash, and goes to get its nectar with Eevee and Ponyta joining her. After getting the flower nectar, Chloe gives it to Rapidash, but it wasn’t enough to heal the Unique Horn Pokémon, until Eevee and Ponyta use [[Heal Pulse]] together to help it recover. Chloe and Eevee were given a ride to [[Ballonlea]] by the two Unique Horn Pokémon, then reunites with Ash and Goh.

In ''[[JN057|Memories of a Warming Kindness!]]'', Chloe stays at [[Chrysa]]'s place for a sleepover. While at Chrysa's place, Chloe finds a picture of her with a {{OBP|Trainer|JN057}} and a {{p|Psyduck}} with a scruff around its neck. After hearing how those two helped Chrysa become a researcher, Chloe believes that she has a crush on him, and goes to Ash and Goh for help in reuniting them, after finding out that they meet the Trainer and his Psyduck. However, Chloe becomes annoyed when she finds out that Chrysa only wanted to see the Trainer’s Psyduck again.

In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', Chloe travels to Hoenn to meet [[Kiley]], a friend of Chrysa, when she decided to learn about {{p|Vaporeon}}, one of Eevee's many evolved forms. At Kiley's suggestion, Chloe decided to participate alongside Eevee in the [[Marine Athletics Race|Kids Marine Athletics Race]]. During competition preparation time, Chloe talks a lot with Kiley about her goals and Eevee’s. The next day, during the competition, Chloe and Eevee find that [[Goh's Dewgong]] is being attacked by a wild {{p|Huntail}}. While trying to escape from Huntail, they take shelter in a cave, but the entrances ends up collapsing. Eventually, they were saved by Ash and Kiley. After everything is resolved, Kiley hands Chloe a [[Water Stone]] for her to use on her Eevee if she decides to become a Vaporeon.

[[File:Chloe and Eevee.png|thumb|250px|left|Chloe and her Eevee]]
In ''[[JN069|Errand Endurance!]]'', Chloe and Goh get into an argument about whether Eevee or {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} was better. Through Ash suggested, they decided to have Eevee and Grookey deliver supplements to the Cerise Laboratory. During the errand, Chloe, Goh, and Ash watched Eevee and Grookey secretly, while helping them out along the way. Eventually, Chloe and Goh were relieved that their partners made it back to the Laboratory safely.

In ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', Chloe decided to travel to [[Sinnoh]] with Eevee, after a planned vacation with her family got canceled. During the trip, Chloe and Eevee decided to check out a [[Pokémon Contest]] in [[Eterna City]]. Along the way, Chloe and Eevee camped at a forest for the night where they meet a girl named {{an|Dawn}} and her partner {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, who they quickly befriended. Also, after hearing that she was going to the same destination as she was, Chloe decided to accompany Dawn to Eterna City. Later, Chloe and Dawn 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}}.

[[File:Chloe and Soleil.png|thumb|250px|Chloe and Soleil]]
In the [[JN075|next episode]], Chloe helped Dawn take care of Cresselia until she recovered. Also, Chloe was shown by Dawn on how to perform in a Pokémon Contest. After getting attacked by Team Rocket and getting saved by Darkrai, Chloe met up with Ash and Goh, surprised that Ash and Dawn know each other. Together, they fought off [[Matori]] and the Matori Matrix, and were aided by Darkrai. Once Team Rocket had been defeated, Chloe and the others played on a beach before going to see Dawn's Contest.

In ''[[JN079|Night and Day, You are the Ones!]]'', Chloe accompanied Ash and Goh to the [[Johto]] region, where they visited the [[Eclipse Castle]]. Whilst there, Chloe ran into [[Soleil]], who was her [[doppelgänger]], and her {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}. They changed clothes, only for Chloe to get kidnapped by [[Ilunas]], who mistook her for Soleil. After being found by Ash and Goh, Chloe battled Ilunas alongside Soleil and defeated him.

In ''[[JN087|Breaking the Ice!]]'', Chloe was walking to school with Goh and Ash, who joined her for a presentation for their school. Here, she saw a girl named [[Regina]] playing with her {{p|Glaceon}} [[nickname]]d Mirche. Regina was an early new student at school and Chloe wanted to befriend her, but discovered that Regina's Glaceon tended to freeze everything that could be a threat to its Trainer. However, after solving everything for Regina and her Glaceon, Chloe and her friends worked together to make an ice playground for her classmates to play in.

[[File:Alternate World Chloe.png|thumb|left|250px|Chloe and Alternate World Chloe]]
In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', Chloe accompanied Ash and Goh to Sinnoh to help Dawn find her Piplup. At the [[Canalave Library]], she met {{an|Cynthia}} for the first time. Due to [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]'s interference, she and Ash reached to the alternate [[Canalave City]], where she met [[Alternate World Ash|a person looking exactly like Ash]]. [[JN090|In the next episode]], she accompanied Ash, Goh, and Dawn to [[Mount Coronet]], to try to stop the fight between {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} and met [[Alternate World Chloe|her alternate self]]. Due to the reversion of time, Chloe and her friends were reverted back to toddlers, but soon returned to their original forms after the ending of the fight. Chloe then bid farewell to other Chloe and returned back to their world.

In ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', Chloe decided to go to the [[Celadon Gym]] with her Eevee to attend the [[Pokémon Flower Arrangement]], only for Goh and Ash to join as well. There, she met the [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]] and her {{p|Leafeon}}. During the class, she decorated her Eevee the same way Leafeon was.

In ''[[JN098|Out of Their Elements!]]'', Chloe accompanied Ash and Goh to a Pokémon Circus performance, where she met [[Harmony]] and {{OBP|Billy|JN098}}. She witnessed the evolution of their respective Eevee's into {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Flareon}}. Later, Chloe and Eevee participated in the Pokémon Circus performance, after which Harmony and Billy gave her a [[Fire Stone]] and [[Thunder Stone]], respectively.

In [[JN105]], Chloe headed to [[Lilycove City]] to meet a {{p|Sylveon}}, only to be scouted by [[Lisia]] to appear in a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]. After meeting Lisia, Chloe and Eevee encounter a {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}} with her Trainer {{an|Serena}}, as they quickly befriended them. Through Serena and her Sylveon's encouragement, Chloe and Eevee entered the Pokémon Contest Spectacular in the {{OBP|Rank|Contest|Normal Rank}}, where Eevee used a combination of {{m|Copycat}}, Sylveon's {{m|Fairy Wind}}, and {{m|Tackle}}, and was well received. Chloe than bid farewell to Serena, but not before meeting up with Goh and Ash, surprised that Ash and Serena know each other.

In [[JN112]], Chloe joined Ash and Goh during a trip to [[Alola]]. During the visit, she talked with {{an|Lana}} regarding what form she was planning to evolve [[Sandy]] into, given that she herself was still unsure which of them to choose for her own Eevee. Lana opened Chloe's eyes to the possibility of not evolving her Eevee at all, which Chloe hadn't considered before.

===Character===
[[File:ChloeLilycove.png|250px|thumb|Chloe and Eevee in the Lilycove City Contest Spectacular]]
Chloe is overly cautious and takes a realistic approach to life. She finds [[Goh]]'s confidence and big ideas to be irritating, and often reminds her friend to mind his manners. She appears distant and indifferent to others, as seen when she tends to ignore Ash, although she would gradually open up and become more friendly towards him. Although reserved and aloof, Chloe does care about her friends and is very protective of them, as shown in ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', when two girls made fun of Jinny, she became so angry that she wanted to fight them in person.

[[File:Dawn and Chloe.png|thumb|left|250px|Chloe and Dawn]]
Chloe's aloofness appears to stem from her own uncertainty of what goals she wants to pursue, and she is bothered by her classmates assuming she will follow her father's footsteps and become a Pokémon researcher, and that she must be a good battler. After a conversation with her mother and working together with {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}} to defeat an attacking {{AP|Gengar}}, Chloe appears to grow closer to her Pokémon and become more certain of herself. As a child in ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', Chloe used to be jealous of Yamper as a new household pet due to him getting more attention from her parents than her. When she led him to run away from home, she felt guilty and went out to find him at night. Eventually, she came to like him.

As time passed, Chloe became more and more involved with the Pokémon universe, to the point that she personally asked Goh and Ash for help with the school's work on the [[Fossil]] Pokémon or being late for school while paying attention to explaining her father about the Pokémon world in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''. Ever since she became a Trainer in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]'', Chloe opened herself up to new experiences as she becomes adventurous, cheerful, and relaxed.

Chloe has a great relationship with her Eevee, as she enjoys her company. Since meeting {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', Chloe developed a close friendship with her. Chloe also looks up to Dawn for her kindness, passion, and skill as a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. Similarly, Chloe admires {{an|Serena}} for both her wisdom and her skill as a [[Pokémon Performer|Performer]] and Coordinator. Chloe quickly became good friends with {{an|Lana}} after meeting her, and was surprised that she decided to not evolve her Eevee, [[Sandy]].

When Dawn was younger, she attended a kindergarten, 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!]]''

[[File:DawnCollection.png|thumb|220px|Dawn in the [[Hearthome Collection]]]]
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 heading to Johto.png|thumb|250px|Dawn heading to the [[Johto]] [[region]]]]
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 a good friend of Iris when they traveled to the [[Deserted Island (BW087)|Onix Island]] in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', she agreed with Iris 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.

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.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn and Chloe]]
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|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]], meeting the at the Sinnoh Fest 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.

In [[JNS02]], 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]], Ash, Dawn, and Goh, assisted by the lake guardians, managed to stop the rampaging Heatran.

In [[JN105]], Dawn was shown in a flashback about the Wallace Cup, alongside May. She also appeared in a flashback in [[JN114]].

====''[[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|250px|left|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 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:Dawn catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|left|220px|Dawn after {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a Pokémon]]
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.

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]].

[[File:Dawn brushing hair.png|thumb|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|left|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.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn rivals.png|thumb|380px|Dawn's recurring rivals as seen in [[The Greatest - Everyday!]]]]
* Dawn is the first of {{Ash}}'s female traveling companions to not be related to a [[Gym Leader]].
* Dawn is the first traveling companion to have the new [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]]-style eyes.
* On the [[Pokémon Learning League]] website, [[List of clothing (anime)|her clothing]] has been altered so that her white undershirt has sleeves and she is wearing black stockings or tights.
* Dawn's socks have shifted position on her legs from mid-knee to below-knee several times throughout the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Dawn's Japanese name is Hikari, and [[Zoey|her main rival]]'s is Nozomi. The ''{{wp|Hikari (train)|Hikari}}'' and the ''{{wp|Nozomi (train)|Nozomi}}'' are two {{wp|Shinkansen}} "bullet train" lines in Japan. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari, possibly symbolizing the trend of Zoey being farther along in her coordinating skills than Dawn in the anime.
* When Dawn temporarily returned in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', she returned for a total of 17 episodes across both series (including four special episodes), the most out of Ash's traveling companions.
* Dawn is the first of Ash's female traveling companions to hold a full team of six Pokémon consistently, and the second overall to hold a full team, the first being Misty.
* Dawn is the only [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in the anime to compete for the same {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] twice.
* Dawn is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to battle an [[Elite Four]] member, having battled [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''. She is also the first to challenge an official [[Gym]], having battled [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''.
* Dawn is the only main character to be mentioned in the summary of the Japanese opening themes along with Ash.
* 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}}.

'''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]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Dawn.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn during her childhood]]
When Dawn was younger, she attended a kindergarten, 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!]]''

[[File:DawnCollection.png|thumb|220px|Dawn in the [[Hearthome Collection]]]]
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 heading to Johto.png|thumb|250px|Dawn heading to the [[Johto]] [[region]]]]
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 a good friend of Iris when they traveled to the [[Deserted Island (BW087)|Onix Island]] in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', she agreed with Iris 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.

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.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn and Chloe]]
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|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]], meeting the at the Sinnoh Fest 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.

In [[JNS02]], 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]], Ash, Dawn, and Goh, assisted by the lake guardians, managed to stop the rampaging Heatran.

In [[JN105]], Dawn was shown in a flashback about the Wallace Cup, alongside May. She also appeared in a flashback in [[JN114]].

====''[[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|250px|left|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 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:Dawn catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|left|220px|Dawn after {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a Pokémon]]
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.

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]].

[[File:Dawn brushing hair.png|thumb|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|left|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.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn rivals.png|thumb|380px|Dawn's recurring rivals as seen in [[The Greatest - Everyday!]]]]
* Dawn is the first of {{Ash}}'s female traveling companions to not be related to a [[Gym Leader]].
* Dawn is the first traveling companion to have the new [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]]-style eyes.
* On the [[Pokémon Learning League]] website, [[List of clothing (anime)|her clothing]] has been altered so that her white undershirt has sleeves and she is wearing black stockings or tights.
* Dawn's socks have shifted position on her legs from mid-knee to below-knee several times throughout the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Dawn's Japanese name is Hikari, and [[Zoey|her main rival]]'s is Nozomi. The ''{{wp|Hikari (train)|Hikari}}'' and the ''{{wp|Nozomi (train)|Nozomi}}'' are two {{wp|Shinkansen}} "bullet train" lines in Japan. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari, possibly symbolizing the trend of Zoey being farther along in her coordinating skills than Dawn in the anime.
* When Dawn temporarily returned in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', she returned for a total of 17 episodes across both series (including four special episodes), the most out of Ash's traveling companions.
* Dawn is the first of Ash's female traveling companions to hold a full team of six Pokémon consistently, and the second overall to hold a full team, the first being Misty.
* Dawn is the only [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in the anime to compete for the same {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] twice.
* Dawn is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to battle an [[Elite Four]] member, having battled [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''. She is also the first to challenge an official [[Gym]], having battled [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''.
* Dawn is the only main character to be mentioned in the summary of the Japanese opening themes along with Ash.
* 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}}.

'''May''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Petalburg City]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She is the daughter of [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]], and her [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{TP|May|Torchic}} given to her by [[Professor Birch]].

Initially on a {{pkmn|journey}} to meet new places, May found her true calling in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and made it her goal to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. She traveled through [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and her little brother, [[Max]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-sereis====
[[File:Younger May.png|thumb|220px|May during her childhood]]
May grew up with her mother, [[Caroline]], her father and [[Petalburg City]] Gym Leader, [[Norman]], and brother, [[Max]]. As revealed in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', May when she was younger was playing in the water with some {{p|Tentacool}}, but found herself surround by a horde of them. However, when her parents see this, May's mother Caroline tried to catch her because she mistaken her for a Tentacool. Ever since that experience, May developed a dislike and fear of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
Years later in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', May was old enough to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but she used it as an excuse just so she could travel, even though everyone expected her to follow in her father Norman's footsteps. However, after seeing a [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', she decided to become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] instead. Since May initially knew almost nothing about Pokémon or [[move|attack]]s, Ash assumed the role of her mentor. She gradually gained experience through her {{pkmn|journey}} and practice with Ash.

As a Coordinator, May was able to learn more about Pokémon and form stronger bonds with them. In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after winning the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, May told her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} that she loved it. This is an example of her growth — from someone who initially disliked Pokémon to someone who cared deeply for them.

With her {{cat|May's Pokémon|Pokémon}}, May was able to come up with different [[Contest combination|attack combinations]] to use during her [[Contest Battle]]s. For instance, she would use her {{TP|May|Combusken}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}} and her {{TP|May|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Bubble}} to create a combination of fire and water, dubbed "Fire and Water Whirlwind" by [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], after witnessing [[Tucker]] use it against Ash with a combination of {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This even made a [[Harley|rival]] of hers angry, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move as May did not use it against him.

She also developed a love for making her own [[Pokéblock]]s with recipes that she thought up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: ''Haruka's Delicious'' and ''Haruka's Delicious 2''). Unfortunately, the only ones who liked her "Purple Surprise" were her {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and [[Jessie]]. Her "Pink Surprise" came from the recipe {{an|Professor Oak}} uses to make [[Ash's Snorlax]]'s {{pkmn|food}}. Thus, after May [[AG118|first fed]] it to her Munchlax, it was automatically made full. This Pokéblock was regularly used to feed Munchlax in order to prevent it from eating the food of others.

[[File:Drew and May.png|thumb|left|220px|May and Drew]]
During her journey, she found a [[rival]] in [[Drew]], a skilled and sometimes arrogant Coordinator. Drew became one of her main inspirations to try harder to sharpen her skills as a Coordinator. At first, Drew had claimed that May had "no style" as a Coordinator, but by the end of May's second Contest campaign, when she defeated him in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], he recognized her growth and skill. Another rival of hers, [[Harley]], is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May and has no qualms about cheating or using unfair tactics. An example of Harley's depravity was seen in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', when he recorded Max telling him a story from May's childhood. May had been wearing a blue swimming cap in the ocean, and her mother had mistaken her for a {{p|Tentacool}} from afar and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} May with one of her {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Harley played the recording of this story during the [[Izabe Island]] Pokémon Contest to embarrass May into losing. May was able to beat Harley in the end, but she claimed that she had never been more humiliated. Another example is when Harley joined forces with {{TRT}} in an attempt to sabotage May's performance with Combusken, which ended up contributing to a more dazzling appeal.

At the Kanto Grand Festival, May also competed against [[Solidad]], an experienced Coordinator to whom she lost in the semifinals. At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', she left to compete with Drew, Harley, and Solidad in the [[Johto]] [[region]], aiming to find her own battling style. The decision to stop traveling with Ash was an important one for May's character. Because Ash played the role of a mentor to her through most of the series, she was largely influenced by his offensive battle style. By the end of their journey through Kanto, May had realized that an offensive style was not necessarily the best for her and for Contests. Her constant use of dazzling attacks ultimately proved to be her downfall at the Kanto Grand Festival, when Solidad was able to recognize and counter these moves by leading May to attack and then successfully dodging. Her goal to find her own style was therefore also a goal to improve her Contest Battle skills and ultimately become a [[Top Coordinator]].

May has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in Hoenn, Kanto and Johto. She also has a personal [[List of Japanese ending themes|theme song]], ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'', performed by [[KAORI.]]. It was first used as background music in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' and was used multiple times after that during May's Contest [[Appeal|performances]] and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. The song became the ending theme of the show between ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'' and ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
May reappeared from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' to participate in the [[Wallace Cup]]. During this period, she wore her {{ga|May|game counterpart}}'s outfit from {{game|Emerald}}. She shared that many of her Pokémon had [[Evolution|evolved]] and that she had already won three Johto [[Ribbon]]s. {{an|Dawn}} recognized May upon meeting her and said that some people in the [[Sinnoh]] region called her the "Princess of Hoenn", causing May to blush. During the Wallace Cup, May showed the new style that she had come up after leaving Ash, battling against Dawn's rival [[Zoey]] and winning using her Beautifly. She made it all the way to the finals but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end. Afterwards, May returned to Johto to resume competing in Contests there.

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

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
May reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
May reappeared in a flashback of the Wallace Cup in [[JN105]], alongside Dawn. In the same episode, [[Chloe]] wore a [[Contest Costume]] that {{an|Serena}} mentioned was worn by the "Princess of Hoenn", referencing May's nickname.

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

===Character===
[[File:May and Max BW.png|thumb|220px|left|May and Max]]
May is generally a very sweet and optimistic girl. She enjoys feminine and cute things as well as shopping. In fact, she and Brock occasionally went on shopping trips together throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''. May cares about her appearance, sometimes spending so much time in front of the mirror that it caused her traveling companions to become frustrated with her, such as in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. May also is interested in helping other people with their romantic problems.

Though she is generally kind, she occasionally argues with her little brother, [[Max]]. The two had arguments since Max's debut episode, but one of their most notable was in ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. May's harsh words to Max made him declare that he hated May and he ran away for a portion of the episode. Even though she had been angry, May quickly felt guilty for hurting Max's feelings and became very worried that he would be hurt on his own. In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations]]'', May revealed that she had promised her mother to always take care of Max on their journey. So even though the siblings had many quarrels, May deeply cares for her brother and would go to great lengths to protect him.
[[File:May rage.png|thumb|220px|May's rage at her loss of food]]
In ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]'', May heard Brock used to act as a cook during Ash's journeys. As she, Max and Ash were hungry, she was the one who asked Brock if he could prepare some food for them. If a person or a Pokémon were to steal her food she would become extremely angry, which was demonstrated numerous times. Food was one of the few things May would become angry about, so it was an important tool to show a different side to her usually cheerful character. When May returned for ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', she expressed excitement over the chance to eat at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], but having her meal stolen made her enraged. She was later shown enjoying a large cookie, once again affirming her love of food and sweets.

[[File:May shopping bags.png|thumb|left|220px|May after shopping]]
When May first left her home, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of a [[Pokémon journey]]. This sparked one of May's most memorable quirks in Hoenn, "May's Expeditions". Starting from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', May would occasionally make a camera lens with her fingers, pretending she was the host of a traveling show. May also didn't like Pokémon, due to the trauma of being swarm around a group of {{p|Tentacool}} when she was little. However, after seeing {{Ash}} risking his life to save his {{AP|Pikachu}} on the day they [[AG001|met]] and formed a close bond with her first two Pokémon, {{TP|May|Torchic}} and {{TP|May|Wurmple}}, May grew to care about Pokémon, which helped her overcome her dislike and fear of them.

As mentioned, May also enjoys making [[Pokéblock]]. She first learned about making Pokéblock in the episode ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' when she met {{ho|Kelly}}. She learned that Kelly's mother owned a Pokéblock shop, and May was curious about it. Kelly then taught her how to use a [[Berry Blender]]. May's first attempt of making a Pokéblock was not successful, but that didn't stop her from trying. In the episode ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', May continued to make Pokéblock, calling the result '''"May's Purple Surprise"'''. However, only [[May's Munchlax]] had taken a liking to it. Later on, {{an|Professor Oak}} had created a Pokéblock for May, which May calls '''"May's Pink Surprise"''', that is specially made for Munchlax. May uses it to stop her Munchlax from causing too much trouble on many occasions.

In ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', May revealed that she stayed in contact with many of the friends she made through competing in Pokémon Contests, using emails, phone calls and letters. This included [[Kelly (Hoenn)|Kelly]], [[Savannah]], [[Sandra]], [[Timmy Grimm|Timmy]], [[Dr. Abby]] and [[Janet]]. May also said that being friends with the people she met throughout her journey, and knowing they were cheering for her, gave her the confidence to overcome any nervousness she could face.

Throughout her journey with Ash, Brock, and Max, May has changed remarkably as a person and Trainer, but maintains her habit of finding popular food spots and her sweet nature. May has also learned to not take her Pokémon for granted, as seen in ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', when she realized how hard she pushed her Bulbasaur in the [[Rubello Town|Rubello]] [[Pokémon Contest]] and that the first [[AG051|two]] [[AG062|ribbons]] that she won were because her Pokémon came through for her. In addition, May has exceptionally improved her battling skills, as shown in her battle against [[Drew]] in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

May's Contest cry is '''"Take the stage!"''' (Japanese: '''ステージ・オン！''' ''Stage On!''). In the English dub, she also uses variations, such as "On stage!"

===Pokémon===
The Pokémon she acquired on the course of her journey appear to resemble Pokémon that Ash had obtained at some point at the beginning of his own journey. At first, she preferred cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and dazzling techniques, but on the course of her journey, she was able to obtain Pokémon outside that preference. She has a tendency to rely on luck, often using her {{TP|May|Skitty}}'s {{m|Assist}} or her {{TP|May|Munchlax}}'s {{m|Metronome}} to win. Most of May's Pokémon were not caught through battle. Unlike many of [[Ash's friends]], May has never had a consistently [[Obedience|disobedient]] Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* May is the first main character other than Ash to own a [[starter Pokémon]].
* May 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 [[Unova]] region.
* May is the first of Ash's traveling companion to be based on a [[player character]] from the {{pkmn|games}}.
* May is the only main character to, upon her introduction, [[Breaking the fourth wall|introduce herself to the audience]] rather than be introduced by the narrator or first appear without an introduction at all.
* May is the only main character, other than Ash, to wear gloves as part of her character design.
* Both of May's unevolved Pokémon are {{t|Normal}} [[type]].
* May was the first character to own a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}, with {{p|Munchlax}}.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, May is the first main character to catch {{TP|May|a Pokémon|Bulbasaur}} that Ash {{AP|has also caught|Bulbasaur}}.
* May has not made any reappearances since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'', not counting flashbacks and non-speaking cameos. This could be because her Japanese voice actress, KAORI, came down with a variation of the debilitating disease focal dystonia called spasmotic dysphonia, as early as 2007 (a year before her reappearances in DP), and hitting its peak by May 2012. To date, a replacement has not been cast.<ref>https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/miscellaneous/kaori_hiatus.html</ref>

'''Max''' (Japanese: '''マサト''' ''Masato'') is an aspiring [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. He is the younger brother of {{an|May}} and the son of [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]]. He made his debut appearance in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Before traveling with Ash=====
Max first appeared in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''. He was inside the [[Petalburg Gym]] when {{an|May}} returned home with {{Ash}}. When he saw Ash, he claimed that he was the [[Gym Leader]] and questioned Ash about the [[Silver Conference]], saying that he had watched the tournament live when Ash was a participant and was not impressed with his performance. As the two began to bicker over how Ash could have won his {{pkmn|battle}} against {{jo|Harrison}}, May arrived with her parents and revealed that [[Norman]] was the actual Gym Leader instead of Max, leaving Ash irritated. Max watched the match between Norman and Ash until it was interrupted by {{TRT}}. He went after Team Rocket and fell for their pit traps when he found {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later, with Norman and Caroline's permission, he decided to join Ash and May when they were setting off to [[Petalburg Woods]].

=====As Ash's traveling companion=====
[[File:Max and Tommy.png|thumb|left|220px|Max and Tommy]]
In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Max went off to find [[Nicholai]] when he insulted Norman after defeating May. He brought along a pile of {{Berries}}, which attracted the {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s attention. They got angry when Max ran out of Berries; and Ash, May, {{an|Brock}}, and Nicholai arrived to save Max. When Nicholai led the Zigzagoon away from the group, Max apologized for his actions earlier.

Max took a liking to {{OBP|Katrina|AG011}}'s {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''. Seeing that Katrina owned three {{p|Mightyena}}, Max attempted to get Poochyena to [[Evolution|evolve]]. He {{pkmn|training|trained}} it with May's Torchic, but was unsuccessful due to Torchic attacking both Max and Poochyena. Max then ran off with Poochyena after Ash told him that some Pokémon are happy the way they are. When Poochyena was caught by Team Rocket, Max encouraged it to bite through the net to free itself and the other Pokémon as well. Afterwards, Poochyena was able to evolve into Mightyena.

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School!]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s {{pkmn|Trainers' School}}, where he battled {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}}'s {{p|Magby}} using a {{p|Poliwag}}. He used the strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}}, but this backfired when Magby's repeated attacks began to wear Poliwag down.

In ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] during the battle with [[Winstrate family|Vivi]], who had a crush on him. Since Corphish was Ash's Pokémon, Corphish recklessly attacked {{p|Marill}} even though Max wanted Corphish to go easy on Marill. This victory caused Vivi to no longer be interested in him.

[[File:Max and Max.png|thumb|220px|Max and [[Max (AG049)|his doppelgänger]]]]
Max met [[Doppelgänger|a lookalike]] with the [[Max (AG049)|same name]] as him in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. Both of them were fighting when the brown-haired one criticized the green-haired Max about how only skilled Trainers can handle {{TP|May|Skitty}} as he thought that the Skitty was his. Max met up with the brown-haired Max by the lake when a {{p|Surskit}} was dancing around there. May suggested to both Maxes that they should be friends but it resulted in them fighting. When Team Rocket arrived with their goal in catching Surskit for their {{an|Giovanni|boss}}, the green-haired Max and the brown-haired one went off and found Surskit as it ran away. They found it in a new water spring located in the forest. When Team Rocket returned to capture the Surskit, both Maxes worked together to take on the trio and Surskit finished them off. After Team Rocket's defeat, both Maxes became friends and the brown-haired Max promised the green-haired one that he will become a Trainer someday.

In ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]'', Max and {{ashfr|the gang}} went to a mansion. He separated from the group after he got into a sibling rivalry with May when they both accused each other of ending up in the mansion. When Max was still upset about May, a {{p|Shuppet}} covered him with red aura and Max noticed it. They played with each other and Shuppet showed Max a secret room containing a playground. Still mad about May, Max had Shuppet play a prank on Ash, May, and Brock by lifting up items in the kitchen when the three were headed there. When Team Rocket was about to get May's Torchic, Max blocked their way until May arrived. Max stood back as May took things from there with her Torchic and was about to get crushed by a falling shelf until Shuppet saved them by lifting the shelf.

Max found an injured {{p|Ralts}} in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''. He took it back to the campsite where {{AP|Snorunt}} successfully cheered it up using [[Ash's hat]] and Max's glasses. Max took Ralts to a [[Pokémon Center]] after Brock pointed out that Ralts was running a {{DL|Illness in the Pokémon world|fever}}. While Ash, May, and Brock were battling Team Rocket while they were attempting to steal Ralts for their boss, Max made a run for the Pokémon Center with Snorunt tagging along. Along the way, Max dealt with Team Rocket again but they were stopped by Ralts's friends, a {{p|Kirlia}} and a {{p|Gardevoir}}. Max explained to them about Ralts's condition but Kirlia was about to attack him until Ralts protected him with {{m|Safeguard}} despite being in worse condition. Seeing that Ralts was willing to trust Max, Kirlia and Gardevoir {{m|teleport}}ed away. Max finally arrived in a Pokémon Center and reunited with Ash, May, and Brock. Max was happy to see that Ralts was healed up. However, he was sad to say goodbye to it after it left with Kirlia and Gardevoir.
[[File:Max farewell.png|thumb|left|220px|Max's farewell]]
In ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[AG172|2]]'', Max went with the group and [[Solana]] to a cave where they found out about a meteorite relating to {{an|Deoxys}}. Max was willing to communicate with it and Deoxys took him and {{MTR}} to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|another dimension]]. Deoxys possessed Meowth as it explained to Max that it was scared during the space flight. Deoxys then explained to Max about the meteor landing and outer space, and that it was alone without a friend to hangout with. When Ash and his friends arrived in the cave again, [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Sceptile}}, [[May's Combusken]], and [[Brock's Marshtomp]] signaled their arrival and Max was happy to see them again. When Deoxys battled the group outside the cave, it caused some friction inside the alternate dimension that made Max and Meowth bounce around. However, they were able to get out with the help of May and [[Jessie]]. After the battle, Deoxys possessed Meowth again where it thanked Max for everything and fled off, wanting to explore the planet even more.

At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', May announced that she wished to travel to the [[Johto]] [[region]] alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He arrived home in [[Petalburg City]] where he took lessons from his father and helped to look after the [[Gym]] Pokémon.

===Character===
[[File:Max Brock ears.png|thumb|left|220px|Max pulling Brock's ears]]
In his debut episode, Max was a bit of a know-it-all who was proud of his book smarts. For example, in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Max did not approve of how {{Ash}} had used {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{pkmn|battle}} and spent a portion of the episode lecturing him on what he thought was a better way to command the Pokémon. But despite this attitude, Max was not a close-minded person and was always eager to learn about Pokémon first-hand. He would become particularly excited when he could experience a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[move]] or [[Ability]], such as {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing}} or {{p|Sharpedo}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}}.

Over the course of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Max went under {{an|Brock}}'s tutelage for real-world knowledge of Pokémon and how to [[Pokémon training#Caretaking|care]] for them. He developed a friendly relationship with Brock, though he did adopt {{an|Misty}}'s habit for yanking him by the ear whenever Brock saw a pretty woman. Despite getting off to a rocky start with Ash, Max truly admires him and has proven it on numerous occasions. Over time, Max saw how Ash's unorthodox battle strategies could be beneficial, and by the end of his travels through [[Kanto]], Max was no longer criticizing Ash's battling style.

He shares a deep bond with his older sister, {{an|May}}, and their bond only grew stronger while they traveled together through Hoenn with Ash and Brock. He is very proud of May's accomplishments as a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and is always cheering for her when she takes part in a [[Pokémon Contest]]. However, the siblings were occasionally aggressive towards each other, like when Max told [[Harley]] embarrassing stories about May.

[[File:Max DP.png|thumb|220px|Max taking care of [[Norman's Slaking]]]]
Another example occurred in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', when May asked {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} to "get rid of the problem," referring to the large pile of candy in the room. Jirachi, who was reading Max's thoughts, {{m|teleport}}ed May away, which suggests that Max had been thinking that May was the real problem. Despite their arguments, the two siblings care for each other very much.

The question of Max's [[starter Pokémon]] was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn. Among the Hoenn starters, he said that he would have chosen a {{p|Treecko}}. However, in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', he commented that he could really receive anything. Not knowing who his starter would be led to some of the conflict with his [[doppelgänger]], whose name was also {{OBP|Max|AG049}}, in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. At the end of that episode, he stated that Max is lucky that he already knows the Pokémon he will start his {{pkmn|training}} with.

Max finally did meet his future partner in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' when he befriended a weakened {{p|Ralts}}. Wanting to demonstrate that he could be responsible for a Pokémon, he took care of it and brought it to a [[Pokémon Center]] with a little help from {{AP|Snorunt}}. When Max and Ralts parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a Trainer.

===Pokémon===
Due to not being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] yet, Max is unable to {{pkmn|training|raise}} his own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Nevertheless, he has befriended a variety of Pokémon during his travels. He has also occasionally borrowed [[May's Munchlax]], such as in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path!]]'' when he needed a Pokémon to take part in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] being held in [[Potpourri Island]].

Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s, such as the ones with {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} and [[Winstrate family|Vivi Winstrate]]. When he battles, he focuses on [[Status move|defensive moves]] such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Defense Curl}} instead of offensive, [[damage]]-dealing moves.

|desc={{p|Shroomish}} is a Pokémon that Max met very early on in his journey. Max met the seemingly unhappy Shroomish while returning from a burger run with Ash. Max wanted to feed it and make friends with it, so Ash gave Max some Pokémon food to feed it. Shroomish was suspicious and used Stun Spore, causing Ash and Max to quickly back away in surprise.

Ash and Max noted that Shroomish was in the city instead of the forest, where its kind normally would live. Figuring that it might have been separated from its Trainer, they decided that they should take it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Max took out a handkerchief and tied it around the top of Shroomish's head as a gift. The gift made Shroomish very happy. Max picked up Shroomish and they headed off.

After another failed [[Ash's Pikachu|Pika]]-{{TRT}} plan, Shroomish, still in Max's arms, got very distressed and ran off. Ash and Max followed it. Shroomish went into the mansion through a broken window. In the end, Shroomish stayed in the mansion with [[Alex]] who promised to replant the forest.

Shroomish's known moves are {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Leech Seed}}.}}

They decided to bring Jirachi to its home of [[Forina]].
Unfortunately, Butler followed them and got a hold of Jirachi. Using the {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon, he unwittingly created [[Meta Groudon]] which wrought havoc all over the forests of Forina. Fortunately, Jirachi was saved by Ash and then used its {{m|Doom Desire}} to obliterate the false {{p|Groudon}}.

After the ordeal, Jirachi went back to sleep, and Ash and the others continued their journey.

During this time, Jirachi grew attached to Max, and formed a special bond with him. It is believed that Max was the one who enabled Jirachi to emerge from the Millennium Comet. He was sad to see Jirachi leave, but he knew that they would always remain friends.}}

Later, when {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} accidentally stepped on Poliwag's tail, it sparked a fight between Tommy and Max. In battle practice, Max then used Poliwag against Tommy's {{p|Magby}}.

Tommy began with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Max countered with Defense Curl. When Tommy tried again, Max used Belly Drum. With increased attack and defense power, Max chose not to go forward and attack, and on Tommy's next attempt with Flamethrower, it was replied with another Defense Curl - however, repeated hits were taking its toll on Poliwag. Suddenly {{TRT}} attacked, but Max was able to cooperate with Kenny and [[Anita]] to send them blasting off.

Poliwag's known moves are {{m|Defense Curl}}, {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Protect}}.}}

==Trivia==
[[File:ORAS Schoolkid M.png|thumb|110px|Schoolkid artwork from Generation VI]]
[[File:Older Max look-a-like.png|thumb|200px|The Max look-a-like on the right]]
* A person with a [[Anime character recycling|strong resemblance]] appeared in ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]''.
* Max's appearance may have been based on the {{tc|School Kid}} {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
** The Schoolkid artwork from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] closely resembles Max.
** When Max is first seen, he is even standing in the pose of a School Kid who challenges the player.
** According to [http://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20151225009/index_3.html an interview] with [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], Max was created during a conversation with [[Satoru Iwata]]. His glasses are the same model Iwata wore then, and his overall design was based on Iwata's son.
* In {{game|Emerald}} (but not Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire), the rival character ({{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}} depending on the player's gender) has a little brother, who can be seen in the first story of their house alongside their mother. This is most likely a reference to Max.
* Although Max took {{an|Misty}}'s role of pinching {{an|Brock}}'s ear when he sees a pretty girl, he didn't start doing that until he saw Misty do it in ''[[AG044|The Princess and The Togepi]]''. However, he did drag Brock by the pants once in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty!]]''.
* Max was the first {{ashfr|main character}} besides Ash to have a lead role in a [[Pokémon movie]], as all movies before ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' had either Ash or a [[character of the day]] with the lead role.
* Max befriending a {{p|Ralts}} mirrors [[Wally]]'s {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}}. Max also finds it sick, which is the reverse of the sickly Wally {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Ralts.
** This may also be due to two School Kids using a Ralts in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* Max is the youngest male protagonist.
* He is Ash's first companion who is too young to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The second would be {{an|Bonnie}}, although she does care for [[Clemont's Dedenne|a Pokémon]].
* Max is the only main character thus far who has not appeared in any capacity during ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

'''Ash's Sirfetch'd''' (Japanese: '''サトシのネギガナイト''' ''Satoshi's Negigaknight'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', the first one he caught in the [[Galar]] [[region]], and his fifty-sixth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Ash Farfetch'd.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Farfetch'd]]
{{Ash}} first met {{p|Sirfetch'd}} as a {{p|Farfetch'd}} in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'' during a visit to [[Wyndon]] after hearing about it from a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose {{p|Chewtle}} had been defeated by it. As soon as he and [[Goh]] encountered it, the latter attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it but failed, even when trying to battle it with his Kantonian {{TP|Goh|Farfetch'd}}. Afterwards, Ash battled the Galarian Farfetch'd with his {{AP|Riolu}} and managed to defeat it. After Farfetch'd had been healed in a [[Pokémon Center]], Ash saw its eagerness to have more battles and asked if it wanted to come along with him, which it agreed to.

In ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', Farfetch'd was the first Pokémon that Ash used in his [[World Coronation Series]] battle against [[Bea]] and her {{p|Hawlucha}} at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Despite putting up a tough fight, Farfetch'd found it difficult to keep up with Hawlucha's speed, and it was ultimately defeated.

In ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'', Ash used Farfetch'd in a World Coronation Series battle against [[Dozer]] and his {{p|Gurdurr}} at [[Rock Tunnel]]. Despite Gurdurr's formidable physical strength, Farfetch'd eventually emerged victorious, increasing Ash's ranking. Soon after, Ash was challenged by [[Rinto]] and his {{p|Gallade}}. Gallade easily dodged all of Farfetch'd attacks before using {{m|False Swipe}} on it, taking it down without actually making it [[fainting|faint]].
[[File:Castle of Chivalry Knight Medals.png|thumb|250px|Farfetch'd and Ash with their Knight Medals]]
In ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', Farfetch'd accompanied Ash to [[Kalos]] in order to take on [[Elite Four]] member [[Wikstrom]]'s [[Castle of Chivalry]] training course, along with [[Goh]] and his {{TP|Goh|Scyther}}. During the course's second challenge, a booby-trapped maze, Farfetch'd fell into a trap hole, and although Ash pulled it up, it dropped its leek. Ash jumped down into the hole and managed to return the leek to Farfetch'd. In the third challenge, Farfetch'd took on Wikstrom's {{p|Aegislash}}, while Ash himself engaged Wikstrom in a swordfight. When Ash started to get overpowered, Farfetch'd remembered Ash's selflessness while retrieving its leek and defended him from Wikstrom's sword, at the cost of taking a hit from Aegislash's {{m|Sacred Sword}}. However, Farfetch'd was then able to evade a second Sacred Sword using its newly learned {{m|Detect}}. Farfetch'd then followed through by hitting Aegislash with Brutal Swing and was prepared to attack again when Ash told it to stop as Goh and Scyther were able to retrieve the key and win the challenge.
[[File:Ash Farfetch'd leek shield.png|thumb|left|250px|Farfetch'd using its broken leek as a sword and shield]]
In ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', Farfetch'd battled Rinto and his Gallade in a World Coronation Series match. During the battle, Gallade sliced off the top of Farfetch'd's leek, shocking the Wild Duck Pokémon. Ash was able to overcome this setback by having Farfetch'd mimic Wikstrom's Aegislash and use the cut-off part of its leek as a shield and wielding the remaining part like a sword. With this tactic, Farfetch'd was eventually able to land several [[critical hit]]s on Gallade and evolve into Sirfetch'd as a result. Despite Rinto having Gallade activate {{a|Justified}} to boost his {{stat|attack}} power, Sirfetch'd was still able to overpower Gallade and defeat him, raising Ash's ranking.

In ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the third Pokémon sent out to battle Bea during Ash's second World Coronation Series [[rematch]] against her. It briefly battled her {{p|Machamp}}, blocking a flurry of attacks before outmaneuvering it and dealing [[damage]]. Machamp was subsequently recalled for Hawlucha, who easily avoided Sirfetch'd's attacks and defeated it with {{m|Sky Attack}}.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the first Pokémon Ash used in the [[Raid Battle]] against {{p|Articuno}}, only for it to be immediately defeated by a {{m|Blizzard}} after being released from its {{i|Poké Ball}}.

In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', while Ash was visiting the [[Lumiose Gym]], Sirfetch'd was shown to be on the verge of mastering a new move, which {{an|Clemont}} identified as its [[signature move]], {{m|Meteor Assault}}. With inadvertent help from {{AP|Dracovish}}, Sirfetch'd was able to master the move, and subsequently used it to defeat [[Clemont's Luxray]] in a practice battle.

In [[JN104]], Sirfetch'd was the first Pokémon Ash used in his World Coronation Series match against [[Drasna]]. Despite temporarily losing its shield and sword, Sirfetch'd was able to reclaim them and deal some damage to Drasna's {{p|Noivern}} before Ash chose to recall it. He later sent it back out to face Drasna's {{me|Altaria}}, whom it was able to defeat with Meteor Assault before succumbing to the damage it had already taken and fainting as well. Despite this, it still reemerged from its Poké Ball to cheer for Dracovish for the rest of the battle.

In [[JN114]], Ash visited Pallet Town and introduced his Pokémon to his new friends that he caught during his journey around the world, including Sirfetch'd. During the visit, Sirfetch'd trained with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Sceptile}}, and {{AP|Oshawott}}. Sirfetch'd then watched Ash's battle against [[Paul]], where he emerged victorious. Before Ash left his hometown, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Sirfetch'd.png|thumb|250px|Sirfetch'd and Ash]]
Sirfetch'd is a very prideful Pokémon, tending to engage others in {{pkmn|battle}} in order to hone its skills. Even when it is at the brink of defeat, it refuses to give up, pushing its body to the absolute limit. Upon seeing {{Ash}} sharing the same battling spirit and passion, it agreed to join his [[Party|team]], after he offered to help it grow stronger, and it immediately resumed training with {{AP|Riolu}} after its capture.

As shown in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'', Sirfetch'd, as a Farfetch'd, generally acted cold and aloof towards its Trainer–even attacking Ash with its leek–and was only interested in working towards its goal of becoming a Leek Master. It was even seen rushing into battle against Ash's orders, particularly when it is engrossed in a fight. While its raw power was enough to defeat [[Dozer]]'s {{p|Gurdurr}}, it was completely outmatched by [[Rinto]] and {{p|Gallade}}, who were completely in sync with each other.
[[File:Ash and Goh Farfetch'd.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Farfetch'd, facing its regional form]]
However, during [[Wikstrom]]'s [[Castle of Chivalry]] challenge in ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', Farfetch'd started to bond with Ash when he saved it from falling and retrieved its leek for it. Seeing Ash's selflessness, Farfetch'd later defended him from Wikstrom's sword, choosing his safety over a battle victory. Upon evolving, Sirfetch'd began displaying a much more chivalrous and gallant demeanor, as seen when it protected its Trainer from a puddle being splashed by a passing truck while returning from their battle with Rinto. Its swordsmanship has also become much more precise, to the point where it could use the tip of its leek to slice open a letter, as seen in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]''.
[[File:Ash Dracovish biting leek.png|thumb|250px|Sirfetch'd and Dracovish]]
As a Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd appeared to have a mutual rivalry with [[Goh's Farfetch'd|Goh's Kantonian Farfetch'd]]. While the two are normally friendly to each other, they were prone to bickering, which leads to them clashing with their leeks. In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', Sirfetch'd developed a close friendship with [[Ash's Dracovish]], after the Fossil Pokémon inadvertently helped it master {{m|Meteor Assault}}. This was shown again in the [[JN104|following episode]], where it came out of its Poké Ball to cheer Dracovish on during a tough battle. While training at Professor Oak's lab, Sirfetch'd quickly got along really well with Bulbasaur, Sceptile, and Oshawott.

{{p|Dracovish}} first appeared when [[Cara Liss]] and [[Bray Zenn]] restored it and an {{p|Arctozolt}} from [[Fossil]]s they had discovered in the [[Wild Area]]. {{Ash}} attempted to greet it, but it responded by attempting to bite him and then proceeded to chase him and {{AP|Pikachu}}. As it chased Ash, he commanded Pikachu to use {{m|Electroweb}} to stop it, but Dracovish tore through it and accidentally attacked Arctozolt, which got angered and created a field of ice using {{m|Icy Wind}}, that both Ash and Dracovish slipped on, resulting in Ash winding up on top of the {{pkmn|category|Fossil Pokémon}} as it ran away. It ran a long way to a pond, where Ash realized it had just wanted a swim. After they had returned to their starting point, Cara Liss and Bray Zenn let Ash and [[Goh]] keep the Fossil Pokémon, since they had already gotten the data they wanted about them. As such, Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} Dracovish, while Goh caught {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt}}.
[[File:Ash Dracovish Kids Marine Athletic Race.png|thumb|250px|Dracovish in the Kids Marine Athletic Race]]
In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', Ash entered Dracovish in the [[Marine Athletic Race|Kids Marine Athletic Race]]. After winning the race, Dracovish helped to free [[Chloe]] from a cave she had been trapped in by using its newly revealed {{m|Fishious Rend}}.

In ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', Ash used Dracovish in his [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Iris}} at the [[Opelucid Gym]], sending it out against [[Iris's Dragonite]]. Dracovish succeeded in catching Dragonite in its mouth with Fishious Rend, before defeating it with a super effective {{m|Ice Fang}}. Next, Dracovish went up against [[Iris's Haxorus]], but was quickly defeated by a combination of {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Psycho Cut}}.

In [[JNS03]], Dracovish helped in an attempt to stop a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} from reaching [[Spear Pillar]].

In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', Dracovish became fascinated by {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}'s leek as it was trying to learn {{m|Meteor Assault}} during Ash's visit to the [[Lumiose Gym]]. By biting down on the leek, Dracovish inadvertently ended up stabilizing it enough to help Sirfetch'd master the move. Dracovish subsequently joined Sirfetch'd in a [[Double Battle]] against {{an|Clemont}}, during which it mimicked Sirfetch'd's Meteor Assault pose and ended up learning {{m|Dragon Rush}} as a result. With this new move, it swiftly defeated [[Clemont's Diggersby]], giving Ash the victory.
[[File:JN104.png|thumb|left|250px|Dracovish facing Drasna's Noivern]]
In [[JN104]], Ash used Dracovish as his second Pokémon in his World Coronation Series match against [[Drasna]] at the [[Lumiose Conference|Kalos League]] stadium. It first went up against {{p|Noivern}}, who managed to cut Dracovish's stamina in half with {{m|Super Fang}}, but was so badly hit by Dracovish's Ice Fang in the process that Drasna subsequently [[recall]]ed it and sent out her {{p|Altaria}}, which she soon proceeded to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Although Ash got the idea to drench Altaria's feathers with {{m|Water Gun}}, his strategy to exploit this failed due to him not knowing that Mega Altaria is part {{t|Fairy}} type, rendering Dracovish's Dragon Rush useless against it. As such, Ash chose to then recall Dracovish, but it almost immediately came back out to cheer for Sirfetch'd. After Sirfetch'd had taken Altaria down with it, Dracovish returned to the battle, with Sirfetch'd cheering for it. With this mental support, Dracovish was able to push through Noivern's attacks and defeat it, making Ash the winner of the match and increasing his ranking.
[[File:Ash Dracovish Strong Jaw.png|thumb|250px|Strong Jaw activated]]
In [[JN105]], Ash used Dracovish during his battle against [[Wallace]] in [[Lilycove City]], using it against Wallace's {{p|Walrein}}. Both Pokémon were eventually recalled.

In [[JN114]], Ash visited Pallet Town and introduced his Pokémon to his new friends that he caught during his journey around the world, including Dracovish. During the visit, Dracovish trained with {{AP|Glalie}}. Dracovish then watched Ash's battle against [[Paul]], where he emerged victorious. Before Ash left his hometown, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Dracovish was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. It first battled against {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, managing to deal some damage to it with a powerful Fishious Rend, but was later defeated by {{p|Aggron}} after a collision between {{m|Heavy Slam}} and Dragon Rush.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Dracovish biting leek.png|thumb|left|250px|Dracovish biting Sirfetch'd's leek]]
Dracovish has a habit of nibbling on people's heads, especially Ash. Dracovish even likes playing in places where there is a lot of water to swim in and enjoys spending time with other {{t|Water}} Pokémon, as shown by it hanging out with [[Goh]]'s Water Pokémon at the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. While Dracovish is a somewhat slow swimmer, its strong legs and gills allow it to run underwater at high speeds if it sinks to the bottom. In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', its unusual body composition helped it and Ash come in first in the [[Marine Athletic Race|Kids Marine Athletic Race]].

Dracovish strongly dislikes disappointing Ash, becoming extremely determined to prove itself, as shown in ''On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!'' when it used Fishious Rend after Ash assured it that it was alright if it did not know the move. Dracovish has very powerful jaws, being able to crush boulders with a single bite, and in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' stopped [[Iris's Dragonite]] mid-attack by trapping in its jaws.

Dracovish can be easily distracted; not realizing it had been called out to battle in ''Thrash of the Titans!'' and instead started nibbling on Ash. However it is extremely eager when it comes to Pokémon battles, showing a similar tendency to get fired up like Ash. It rushes to take on opponents during battles such as Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} when it was first revived, and defeated Iris's Dragonite in its first ever official battle.

Dracovish developed a close friendship with {{AP|Sirfetch'd}} after training with it at the [[Lumiose Gym]], especially when Sirfetch'd gave it permission to bite on its leek as thanks for its help in mastering {{m|Meteor Assault}}. Also, during the battle against [[Drasna]] in [[JN104]], Dracovish stayed out of its Poké Ball to cheer Sirfetch'd on. Dracovish seems to be drawn towards other swaying movements as well, such as the plumage on {{p|Altaria}}'s head, and easily gets the urge to bite down on whatever's making the motion. While training at Professor Oak's lab, Dracovish befriended Glalie

'''Ash's Glalie''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオニゴーリ''' ''Satoshi's Onigohri'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his twenty-sixth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:Ash Snorunt.png|thumb|left|220px|As a {{p|Snorunt}} in its debut]]
Glalie debuted in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'' on [[Izabe Island]] as a Snorunt. It followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} through the snow to the [[Pokémon Center]], where it began to cause trouble and stole Ash's [[Badge]] case. A chase ensued, with Snorunt leaving a trail of Badges to keep Ash pursuing it. After a small meeting with Team Rocket, it froze Ash with Icy Wind and left the Center through the window into an oncoming snowstorm. Ash followed it and they ended up lost in the snow. After Ash got knocked unconscious by protecting it from a small avalanche, Snorunt took him to a cave for refuge and provided him with apples while they waited out the conditions. As Ash began to trust the mischievous Pokémon, Snorunt ran off into the blizzard with his hat, so it could lead the others to where Ash was. Reunited, the group scolded Snorunt and asked for the other Badges, before being interrupted by Team Rocket capturing Snorunt and Pikachu. Snorunt quickly escaped and saved Pikachu before battling Team Rocket's Pokémon. Later on, Snorunt still refused to return the Badge case, so Ash battled and subsequently caught it. Snorunt was later introduced to the group's other Pokémon, though it continued to prank everyone.
[[File:Ash Snorunt training Ice Beam.png|thumb|220px|Snorunt training to master Ice Beam]]
In [[AG109|the next episode]], Snorunt joined Max in his effort to get an unwell {{p|Ralts}} to a Pokémon Center. During the journey, Snorunt used Icy Wind to make ice packs to combat Ralts' fever.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Snorunt and Pikachu as his first two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] in the first round of the [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle, going up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Seaking}}. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it back to Snorunt. Pikachu then used {{m|Thunder}}, but Seaking used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again, but this time Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo then used {{m|Blizzard}} on the two - Pikachu took a lot of damage but Snorunt barely felt the attack and jumped around happily. Snorunt then used Icy Wind to stop the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar that blocked everyone's view. When Sealeo and Seaking destroyed it, ice shards were sent up in the air which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on to attack. Seaking then used Hyper Beam on Snorunt and Sealeo used Aurora Beam on Pikachu. Pikachu was able to dodge the attack but Snorunt was not, and the Hyper Beam knocked it out.

In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations!]]'', Ash began trying to teach Snorunt {{m|Ice Beam}}. While learning the new move, Snorunt ended up freezing people multiple times, including its Trainer and {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}. Finally in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', {{Ho|Robert}} recommended that it focus its energy in its head while battling Team Rocket during the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Snorunt then evolved into a Glalie and sent them blasting off with its newly mastered Ice Beam.
[[File:Ash Glalie Ever Grande Conference.png|thumb|220px|Glalie and Ash in the Ever Grande Conference]]
[[File:AG128.png|thumb|220px|left|Glalie defeating Clark's Charizard]]
Glalie had several battles in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] and proved to be quite a powerhouse in Ash's team. In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', it teamed up with {{AP|Grovyle}} to battle [[Clark]] and his Pokémon, {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Charizard}}, although both of Ash's Pokémon were at a type disadvantage. Glalie's Icy Wind did not damage either Pokémon but managed to hold off a {{m|Heat Wave}}. Grovyle and Quilava both went down, leaving Glalie against Charizard. Glalie froze up part of the battlefield so it could avoid Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}, but ended up being knocked around its own ice pillars. Glalie managed to change this to its advantage, using the momentum to raise its speed and used a high-speed Headbutt to flatten Charizard and give Ash the win.

Ash used Glalie as his third Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}}. It went up against her {{p|Dugtrio}}. Dugtrio used {{m|Dig}}, but Glalie used Headbutt on the ground, forcing Dugtrio to emerge and dealing damage. Glalie then used Ice Beam, knocking Dugtrio out. Glalie then went up against her {{p|Misdreavus}}. Glalie used Ice Beam, but Katie had Misdreavus take the attack. Glalie then used Headbutt, scoring a direct hit. While being hit, Misdreavus used {{m|Destiny Bond}}. The Headbutt then defeated Misdreavus, but due to the effect of Destiny Bond, Glalie was also knocked out.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Glalie as his sixth and final Pokémon in his Full Battle against [[Morrison]], going up against his final Pokémon, {{TP|Morrison|Metang}}. Glalie used Headbutt while {{p|Metang}} used {{m|Take Down}}, with Take Down dealing more damage. Glalie used Ice Beam, which Metang was able to redirect with {{m|Confusion}}, hitting Glalie. Glalie's Ice Beam was reflected a second time, but Ash saw this coming and used Icy Wind to redirect the attack back to Metang again, hitting it. Glalie hit Metang with Headbutt, but Metang countered with a super-effective {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Glalie used Headbutt again, spinning to increase its power, while Metang used Meteor Mash. Just before the collision, Glalie ducked, avoiding the Meteor Mash and hitting with the spinning Headbutt, knocking Metang out, winning Ash the battle, and moving Ash to the next round of the Victory Tournament.

Later, Ash used Glalie as his first Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}, going up against his {{p|Sceptile}}. Glalie used Ice Beam while Sceptile used {{m|Solar Beam}}, creating a massive explosion. In the [[AG131|next episode]], it was revealed that this explosion knocked out both Pokémon.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Ash left Glalie at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] before he went to challenge the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Glalie returned to Ash's team for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Upon seeing its Trainer, it froze Ash with Ice Beam, which led {{AP|Torkoal}} to thaw him out with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Glalie was seen training with {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Infernape}} before Ash's battle with [[Conway]]. Ash was initially going to use Glalie because of its power to try to overwhelm Conway, but changed his mind as he knew that he couldn't depend on sheer power alone. In the end, Glalie was not seen participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.
[[File:Ash and Glalie.png|thumb|220px|Glalie and Ash]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Glalie was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Glalie, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, it was seen relaxing with [[Ash's Dracovish]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Glalie was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Snorunt, it was initially mischievous and troublesome, constantly playing pranks on Ash and his friends. Since its capture, it has been very energetic and giggly; seeming to laugh at everything whether it is good or bad. However, it has demonstrated that it can be serious a few times, namely when it rescued Ash from perishing in a blizzard or when it froze some berries to help [[Max]] treat a sick {{p|Ralts}}. Sometimes, Snorunt seems irrational, most notably when Snorunt argued with a {{p|Kirlia}} over what was best for the Ralts that Max had taken into his care.

A running gag in the anime had it freeze people with its {{type|Ice}} attacks, usually Ash. Even after gaining control over its attacks and evolving into Glalie, it continued to freeze its Trainer, although it does it out of affection for Ash, as shown in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''. Despite being mischievous, while it was a Snorunt, Glalie is loyal to its friends and would help them in anyway it can. In addition, Glalie would protect its friends whenever they were endanger, as shown in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', when it took an attack from Team Rocket, after pushing {{AP|Pikachu}} out of the way, which led to its evolution. Glalie quickly befriended Dracovish during its visit at Professor Oak's lab.

'''Ash's Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''サトシのカイリュー''' ''Satoshi's Kairyu'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and his fifty-third overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
{{Ash}} first encountered Dragonite as a {{p|Dragonair}} on [[Dragonite Island]] in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]''. Unlike the other Dragonair on its home island, it had trouble learning how to fly. Seeing this, Ash offered to help Dragonair learn {{m|Dragon Dance}} and master the use of its wings. Using an {{m|Electroweb}} trampoline provided by {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash managed to help Dragonair overcome its shortcomings.

[[File:Ash Dragonite affection.png|thumb|left|250px|Dragonite and Ash]]
Dragonair then sensed {{TRT}} capturing one of its {{p|Dragonite}} friends, and the group intervened. Team Rocket sent out a {{p|Wailord}} to deal with them, and one of its {{m|splash}}es sent Ash flying into the air. Dragonair tried to save him from his fall, but its skin was too slippery for Ash to hold on to. As such, it then proceeded to [[evolution|evolve]] into Dragonite and save Ash. After Team Rocket was defeated, Dragonite expressed its willingness to come with Ash, and he {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', Ash used Dragonite to traverse through the [[Desert Resort]]. Later, it took part in a [[Raid Battle]] against a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Goh|Golurk}} in the [[Colossus Ruins]], dealing the finishing blow on it with [[Goh's Darmanitan]].

In ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]'', Dragonite was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his [[World Coronation Series]] match against {{an|Korrina}}, following the defeat of his {{AP|Gengar}}. After defeating her {{p|Mienshao}}, Dragonite went up against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Thanks to its [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario proved to be an extremely tough opponent. Dragonite was able to raise its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}} by using {{m|Dragon Dance}}, and it put up an intense fight, taking on many strong moves like {{m|Aura Sphere}} and {{m|Power-Up Punch}}. It was ultimately the last one standing, winning the match for Ash and causing him to be elevated to the Great Class.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', Dragonite was used alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Riolu}} to battle a rampaging [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Centiskorch}}. Despite their best efforts, Centiskorch was only defeated when {{an|Leon}} arrived.

In ''[[JN047|Crowning the Chow Crusher!]]'', Ash entered the [[Pokémon Grand Eating Contest]] with Dragonite. However, they failed to get past the first round due to Dragonite's surprisingly small appetite.
[[File:Ash Dragonite training.png|thumb|250px|Dragonite training with Ash's Flying-type Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', Dragonite met {{an|Iris}}, and was quick to give her a big hug. It was later used in a World Coronation Series match against her, battling Iris's own {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}. Despite holding its own, Dragonite was unable to match Iris's Dragonite's power and was recalled. Dragonite was later sent back out to battle {{TP|Iris|Haxorus}}, eventually emerging victorious thanks to Iris's encouragement for it to enjoy battles, and its newly learned {{m|Draco Meteor}}. This win allowed Ash to advance to the Ultra Class.

In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Dragonite [[Devolution|devolved]] back into Dragonair, then {{p|Dratini}}, and finally an {{pkmn|Egg}} as a result of a clash between {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} distorting time. After {{p|Arceus}} stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the {{pkmn|category|Temporal and Spatial Pokémon}} repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal.

In [[JN105]], Ash used Dragonite during his battle against [[Wallace]] in [[Lilycove City]], using it against Wallace's {{p|Swampert}}. The conclusion of this matchup was not shown.

In [[JN109]], Ash used Dragonite as his first Pokémon in his World Coronation Series match against [[Raihan]], using it against his {{p|Flygon}}. Although Dragonite fought well, scoring several strong hits on Flygon, Flygon was able to utilize its {{m|Sandstorm}} to mask its movements and inflict massive damage on Dragonite, and it was ultimately defeated, resulting in its first known loss under Ash's ownership.

In [[JN114]], Ash visited [[Pallet Town]] and introduced his Pokémon to his new friends that he caught during his journey around the world, including Dragonite. During the visit, Dragonite trained with {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Staraptor}}, {{AP|Unfezant}}, and {{AP|Noivern}}. Ash then used Dragonite as his second Pokémon in his battle against [[Paul]], using it against his {{p|Garchomp}}. However, despite its best effort, Dragonite was defeated. Before Ash left his hometown, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Iris and Ash Dragonite.png|thumb|left|250px|Dragonite communicating with {{an|Iris}}]]
Much like [[Ash's Muk]], Dragonite is a hugger, often embracing people and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, even when it is meeting them for the first time. In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it even tried to hug an un-hatched {{pkmn|Egg}}, forcing Ash to tell it that it shouldn't do so. It also displayed both courage and determination in saving Ash, which gave it the boost it needed to evolve. It cares for its friends, as it didn't hesitate to come to the aid of its Dragonite friend and for Ash.

Like many members of its species, Ash's Dragonite is an adept flyer, and relishes the chance to do so. In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', Ash used Dragonite to help him and {{AP|Pikachu}} cross the [[Desert Resort]], and was happy to race with [[Goh]] and his {{TP|Goh|Beedrill}} to see who was faster, becoming so engrossed in the race that it sent Ash and Pikachu flying through the air. Dragonite was overjoyed by its victory, and while it obediently returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}} before Ash and Goh entered the cramped [[Colossus Ruins]], it was visibly disappointed. Dragonite has also been shown to have good instincts as a caretaker, as seen in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', when it convinced Ash and Goh that the conflict between Goh's Pokémon would be best left for them to solve themselves, while at the same time it made no effort to stop them from trying to intervene. In ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', it was able to stop a crying fit from [[Goh's Sobble]] with simply a gentle hug.

Despite its considerable large size, Dragonite is a light eater, seen during the [[Pokémon Grand Eating Contest]], where Dragonite was fully satisfied during the first round of the contest, and was shown to have not even eaten the entirety of the food on its plate.

Dragonite is also an extremely resilient and strong Pokémon, being able to defeat both of {{an|Korrina}}'s Pokémon, including her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}, and withstand a multitude of attacks. In battle, it gains a fierce disposition, indicating a passion for and enjoyment of battling, though afterwards, it will return to its usual happy nature. During its training at Professor Oak's lab, Dragonite quickly befriended Ash's other Flying types.

'''Ash's Torkoal''' (Japanese: '''サトシのコータス''' ''Satoshi's Cotoise'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his twenty-fifth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:Ash Torkoal Tory.png|thumb|250px|Torkoal releasing smoke]]
Torkoal first appeared in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play]]''. {{ashfr|The group}} found Torkoal in the [[Valley of Steel]] being attacked several times by a group of {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. As they reached the end of the valley, a {{p|Steelix}} revealed itself as the Steel-types' leader in the valley and began a battle with Torkoal. Despite the type disadvantage, Steelix was able to dominate the battle. Ash thought back to [[Flannery]]'s Torkoal and then commanded it to use Overheat. Steelix was then defeated, and before the other Steel-types attacked, Steelix got up and issued respect to Torkoal. Ash then asked Torkoal if it wanted to join his team. Torkoal agreed to the idea and tackled Ash to the ground.
[[File:Soccer.png|thumb|220px|left|Torkoal attempting to kick a soccer ball]]
In the [[AG059|next episode]], Ash introduced Torkoal to the rest of the group's Pokémon, which it greeted by releasing smoke from its nostrils. At a game carnival thrown by {{TRT}}, Torkoal attempted to go on its back legs to kick a soccer ball, but ended up falling flat on its back. It was captured by Team Rocket along with {{AP|Treecko}} and {{AP|Corphish}}, but rescued by the intervention of {{an|Watt}}, [[Wattson]], and {{p|Electrike}}. After Electrike evolved into {{TP|Wattson|Manectric}}, Torkoal was so happy that it engulfed them all in smoke. Ash and Wattson then decided to have an informal rematch, and Ash decided to put Torkoal up against the newly evolved Manectric. Ultimately, Manectric emerged victorious.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power!]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his second Pokémon in his [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against [[Norman]], Torkoal went up against Norman's {{p|Slakoth}}. Torkoal used Flamethrower to overwhelm Slakoth's {{m|Blizzard}}, with Flamethrower overpowering and defeating Slakoth. Next, Torkoal took on Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}}. Its Overheat was dodged, and Vigoroth used a powerful {{m|Scratch}}, defeating Torkoal in one hit.

In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', Torkoal befriended a {{OBP|Spoink|recurring}} and, along with Ash and the gang, helped it to recover its lost pearl. They were later reunited in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'' when Spoink was floating in the ocean off [[Maisie Island]]. Again, Torkoal decided to assist with the search effort for Spoink's lost pearl, at one point diving into the water before having to be rescued itself.
[[File:Ash and Torkoal.png|thumb|220px|Torkoal and Ash]]
In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Torkoal in a practice battle with an unknown Trainer and his {{p|Scizor}}. Thanks to its defensive capabilities and type advantage, Torkoal soon won the match.

Ash decided to use only his [[Hoenn]] team, which included Torkoal, to compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. In ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'', Torkoal and Corphish battled [[Dominick]]'s {{p|Tropius}} and {{p|Swalot}} in a [[Double Battle]]. After a collision of Torkoal's Overheat and Tropius's {{m|Solar Beam}}, both Pokémon were knocked out of the battle. Corphish went on to win the match for Ash, allowing them to advance into the next round.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his first Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament. Initially, it went up against her {{p|Venomoth}}, but Katie soon changed recalled it and sent out {{p|Golduck}}, who quickly overwhelmed Torkoal and defeated it.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his third Pokémon in his Full Battle against [[Morrison]] in the Victory Tournament, where it went up against his {{p|Steelix}}. While having a type advantage and managing to deal super effective damage on Steelix, Torkoal was eventually taken down by a {{m|Dragon Breath}}.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his second Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}} in the Victory Tournament. Its first opponent was Tyson's {{p|Shiftry}}, who kept dodging its Flamethrowers, until Ash had Torkoal jump just as Shifty jumped too, allowing it to finally land a Flamethrower and defeat its opponent. Next, Torkoal went up against {{p|Hariyama}}, whose {{a|Thick Fat}} rendered Torkoal's Flamethrower almost completely useless, allowing it to easily push through it and then defeat it with {{m|Brick Break}}.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
[[File:Ash Torkoal vs Brandon Registeel.png|thumb|left|220px|Torkoal battling Brandon's Registeel]]
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Torkoal met the rest of Ash's Pokémon back in [[Kanto]] at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], striking up a quick friendship with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. After Ash decided to challenge the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, he left Torkoal and {{AP|Glalie}} with the rest of his Pokémon.

Torkoal was brought back to Ash's team in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'' to battle {{an|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Registeel}}, having mastered Heat Wave during its time at Oak's lab. Despite putting up a good fight, however, Torkoal was ultimately defeated by a {{m|Zap Cannon}}, resulting in Ash's second loss against Brandon.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Torkoal was reunited with Ash at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it was sent to spend some time with Ash training, helping to unfreeze Ash after Glalie froze him with {{m|Ice Beam}}.

Torkoal was the second Pokémon Ash used to battle {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Darkrai}} after {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''. It launched a Flamethrower, which was countered by a powerful {{m|Dark Pulse}} that wiped out Torkoal upon contact.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|Torkoal with Ash's Fire types and Gengar]]
Torkoal was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Torkoal, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, it helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Torkoal was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Torkoal crying.png|thumb|220px|left|Torkoal crying]]
Torkoal, as {{an|Brock}} pointed out, is quite an emotional individual and very friendly towards people and other Pokémon. Its hardened shell added a defensive element to {{Ash}}'s otherwise agile [[Hoenn]] team, which often proved difficult for any opponent to overcome. Torkoal has a habit of crying and releasing smoke from its nostrils and back when it is happy. It will usually do this every time it's released from its Poké Ball and when it wins a battle. Although not ill-intended, the smoke will usually blacken any surrounding anything or anyone around it. This was demonstrated relatively often when Torkoal was first captured. It has a slight comic element to it, most notably when it tried to play a soccer carnival game in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge!]]'' and fell over in the process.

Torkoal quickly became loyal to Ash and bonded with him right away, after working together with him to battle a wild {{p|Steelix}}. During its time at Professor Oak's lab, Torkoal befriended Ash's other Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them. Torkoal also became friends with {{AP|Gengar}} during its visit at the lab.

This was used against Registeel during {{Ash}}'s first official [[Battle Pyramid]] {{pkmn|battle|match}} against {{an|Brandon}}.

'''Ash's Torkoal''' (Japanese: '''サトシのコータス''' ''Satoshi's Cotoise'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his twenty-fifth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:Ash Torkoal Tory.png|thumb|250px|Torkoal releasing smoke]]
Torkoal first appeared in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play]]''. {{ashfr|The group}} found Torkoal in the [[Valley of Steel]] being attacked several times by a group of {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. As they reached the end of the valley, a {{p|Steelix}} revealed itself as the Steel-types' leader in the valley and began a battle with Torkoal. Despite the type disadvantage, Steelix was able to dominate the battle. Ash thought back to [[Flannery]]'s Torkoal and then commanded it to use Overheat. Steelix was then defeated, and before the other Steel-types attacked, Steelix got up and issued respect to Torkoal. Ash then asked Torkoal if it wanted to join his team. Torkoal agreed to the idea and tackled Ash to the ground.
[[File:Soccer.png|thumb|220px|left|Torkoal attempting to kick a soccer ball]]
In the [[AG059|next episode]], Ash introduced Torkoal to the rest of the group's Pokémon, which it greeted by releasing smoke from its nostrils. At a game carnival thrown by {{TRT}}, Torkoal attempted to go on its back legs to kick a soccer ball, but ended up falling flat on its back. It was captured by Team Rocket along with {{AP|Treecko}} and {{AP|Corphish}}, but rescued by the intervention of {{an|Watt}}, [[Wattson]], and {{p|Electrike}}. After Electrike evolved into {{TP|Wattson|Manectric}}, Torkoal was so happy that it engulfed them all in smoke. Ash and Wattson then decided to have an informal rematch, and Ash decided to put Torkoal up against the newly evolved Manectric. Ultimately, Manectric emerged victorious.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power!]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his second Pokémon in his [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against [[Norman]], Torkoal went up against Norman's {{p|Slakoth}}. Torkoal used Flamethrower to overwhelm Slakoth's {{m|Blizzard}}, with Flamethrower overpowering and defeating Slakoth. Next, Torkoal took on Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}}. Its Overheat was dodged, and Vigoroth used a powerful {{m|Scratch}}, defeating Torkoal in one hit.

In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', Torkoal befriended a {{OBP|Spoink|recurring}} and, along with Ash and the gang, helped it to recover its lost pearl. They were later reunited in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'' when Spoink was floating in the ocean off [[Maisie Island]]. Again, Torkoal decided to assist with the search effort for Spoink's lost pearl, at one point diving into the water before having to be rescued itself.
[[File:Ash and Torkoal.png|thumb|220px|Torkoal and Ash]]
In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Torkoal in a practice battle with an unknown Trainer and his {{p|Scizor}}. Thanks to its defensive capabilities and type advantage, Torkoal soon won the match.

Ash decided to use only his [[Hoenn]] team, which included Torkoal, to compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. In ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'', Torkoal and Corphish battled [[Dominick]]'s {{p|Tropius}} and {{p|Swalot}} in a [[Double Battle]]. After a collision of Torkoal's Overheat and Tropius's {{m|Solar Beam}}, both Pokémon were knocked out of the battle. Corphish went on to win the match for Ash, allowing them to advance into the next round.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his first Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament. Initially, it went up against her {{p|Venomoth}}, but Katie soon changed recalled it and sent out {{p|Golduck}}, who quickly overwhelmed Torkoal and defeated it.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his third Pokémon in his Full Battle against [[Morrison]] in the Victory Tournament, where it went up against his {{p|Steelix}}. While having a type advantage and managing to deal super effective damage on Steelix, Torkoal was eventually taken down by a {{m|Dragon Breath}}.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Torkoal as his second Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}} in the Victory Tournament. Its first opponent was Tyson's {{p|Shiftry}}, who kept dodging its Flamethrowers, until Ash had Torkoal jump just as Shifty jumped too, allowing it to finally land a Flamethrower and defeat its opponent. Next, Torkoal went up against {{p|Hariyama}}, whose {{a|Thick Fat}} rendered Torkoal's Flamethrower almost completely useless, allowing it to easily push through it and then defeat it with {{m|Brick Break}}.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
[[File:Ash Torkoal vs Brandon Registeel.png|thumb|left|220px|Torkoal battling Brandon's Registeel]]
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Torkoal met the rest of Ash's Pokémon back in [[Kanto]] at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], striking up a quick friendship with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. After Ash decided to challenge the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, he left Torkoal and {{AP|Glalie}} with the rest of his Pokémon.

Torkoal was brought back to Ash's team in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'' to battle {{an|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Registeel}}, having mastered Heat Wave during its time at Oak's lab. Despite putting up a good fight, however, Torkoal was ultimately defeated by a {{m|Zap Cannon}}, resulting in Ash's second loss against Brandon.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Torkoal was reunited with Ash at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it was sent to spend some time with Ash training, helping to unfreeze Ash after Glalie froze him with {{m|Ice Beam}}.

Torkoal was the second Pokémon Ash used to battle {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Darkrai}} after {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''. It launched a Flamethrower, which was countered by a powerful {{m|Dark Pulse}} that wiped out Torkoal upon contact.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|Torkoal with Ash's Fire types and Gengar]]
Torkoal was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Torkoal, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, it helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Torkoal was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Torkoal crying.png|thumb|220px|left|Torkoal crying]]
Torkoal, as {{an|Brock}} pointed out, is quite an emotional individual and very friendly towards people and other Pokémon. Its hardened shell added a defensive element to {{Ash}}'s otherwise agile [[Hoenn]] team, which often proved difficult for any opponent to overcome. Torkoal has a habit of crying and releasing smoke from its nostrils and back when it is happy. It will usually do this every time it's released from its Poké Ball and when it wins a battle. Although not ill-intended, the smoke will usually blacken any surrounding anything or anyone around it. This was demonstrated relatively often when Torkoal was first captured. It has a slight comic element to it, most notably when it tried to play a soccer carnival game in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge!]]'' and fell over in the process.

Torkoal quickly became loyal to Ash and bonded with him right away, after working together with him to battle a wild {{p|Steelix}}. During its time at Professor Oak's lab, Torkoal befriended Ash's other Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them. Torkoal also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.

This was used against Registeel during {{Ash}}'s first official [[Battle Pyramid]] {{pkmn|battle|match}} against {{an|Brandon}}.

'''Ash's Glalie''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオニゴーリ''' ''Satoshi's Onigohri'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his twenty-sixth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:Ash Snorunt.png|thumb|left|220px|As a {{p|Snorunt}} in its debut]]
Glalie debuted in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'' on [[Izabe Island]] as a Snorunt. It followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} through the snow to the [[Pokémon Center]], where it began to cause trouble and stole Ash's [[Badge]] case. A chase ensued, with Snorunt leaving a trail of Badges to keep Ash pursuing it. After a small meeting with Team Rocket, it froze Ash with Icy Wind and left the Center through the window into an oncoming snowstorm. Ash followed it and they ended up lost in the snow. After Ash got knocked unconscious by protecting it from a small avalanche, Snorunt took him to a cave for refuge and provided him with apples while they waited out the conditions. As Ash began to trust the mischievous Pokémon, Snorunt ran off into the blizzard with his hat, so it could lead the others to where Ash was. Reunited, the group scolded Snorunt and asked for the other Badges, before being interrupted by Team Rocket capturing Snorunt and Pikachu. Snorunt quickly escaped and saved Pikachu before battling Team Rocket's Pokémon. Later on, Snorunt still refused to return the Badge case, so Ash battled and subsequently caught it. Snorunt was later introduced to the group's other Pokémon, though it continued to prank everyone.
[[File:Ash Snorunt training Ice Beam.png|thumb|220px|Snorunt training to master Ice Beam]]
In [[AG109|the next episode]], Snorunt joined Max in his effort to get an unwell {{p|Ralts}} to a Pokémon Center. During the journey, Snorunt used Icy Wind to make ice packs to combat Ralts' fever.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Snorunt and Pikachu as his first two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] in the first round of the [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle, going up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Seaking}}. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it back to Snorunt. Pikachu then used {{m|Thunder}}, but Seaking used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again, but this time Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo then used {{m|Blizzard}} on the two - Pikachu took a lot of damage but Snorunt barely felt the attack and jumped around happily. Snorunt then used Icy Wind to stop the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar that blocked everyone's view. When Sealeo and Seaking destroyed it, ice shards were sent up in the air which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on to attack. Seaking then used Hyper Beam on Snorunt and Sealeo used Aurora Beam on Pikachu. Pikachu was able to dodge the attack but Snorunt was not, and the Hyper Beam knocked it out.

In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations!]]'', Ash began trying to teach Snorunt {{m|Ice Beam}}. While learning the new move, Snorunt ended up freezing people multiple times, including its Trainer and {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}. Finally in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', {{Ho|Robert}} recommended that it focus its energy in its head while battling Team Rocket during the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Snorunt then evolved into a Glalie and sent them blasting off with its newly mastered Ice Beam.
[[File:Ash Glalie Ever Grande Conference.png|thumb|220px|Glalie and Ash in the Ever Grande Conference]]
[[File:AG128.png|thumb|220px|left|Glalie defeating Clark's Charizard]]
Glalie had several battles in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] and proved to be quite a powerhouse in Ash's team. In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', it teamed up with {{AP|Grovyle}} to battle [[Clark]] and his Pokémon, {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Charizard}}, although both of Ash's Pokémon were at a type disadvantage. Glalie's Icy Wind did not damage either Pokémon but managed to hold off a {{m|Heat Wave}}. Grovyle and Quilava both went down, leaving Glalie against Charizard. Glalie froze up part of the battlefield so it could avoid Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}, but ended up being knocked around its own ice pillars. Glalie managed to change this to its advantage, using the momentum to raise its speed and used a high-speed Headbutt to flatten Charizard and give Ash the win.

Ash used Glalie as his third Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}}. It went up against her {{p|Dugtrio}}. Dugtrio used {{m|Dig}}, but Glalie used Headbutt on the ground, forcing Dugtrio to emerge and dealing damage. Glalie then used Ice Beam, knocking Dugtrio out. Glalie then went up against her {{p|Misdreavus}}. Glalie used Ice Beam, but Katie had Misdreavus take the attack. Glalie then used Headbutt, scoring a direct hit. While being hit, Misdreavus used {{m|Destiny Bond}}. The Headbutt then defeated Misdreavus, but due to the effect of Destiny Bond, Glalie was also knocked out.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Glalie as his sixth and final Pokémon in his Full Battle against [[Morrison]], going up against his final Pokémon, {{TP|Morrison|Metang}}. Glalie used Headbutt while {{p|Metang}} used {{m|Take Down}}, with Take Down dealing more damage. Glalie used Ice Beam, which Metang was able to redirect with {{m|Confusion}}, hitting Glalie. Glalie's Ice Beam was reflected a second time, but Ash saw this coming and used Icy Wind to redirect the attack back to Metang again, hitting it. Glalie hit Metang with Headbutt, but Metang countered with a super-effective {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Glalie used Headbutt again, spinning to increase its power, while Metang used Meteor Mash. Just before the collision, Glalie ducked, avoiding the Meteor Mash and hitting with the spinning Headbutt, knocking Metang out, winning Ash the battle, and moving Ash to the next round of the Victory Tournament.

Later, Ash used Glalie as his first Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}, going up against his {{p|Sceptile}}. Glalie used Ice Beam while Sceptile used {{m|Solar Beam}}, creating a massive explosion. In the [[AG131|next episode]], it was revealed that this explosion knocked out both Pokémon.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Ash left Glalie at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] before he went to challenge the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Glalie returned to Ash's team for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Upon seeing its Trainer, it froze Ash with Ice Beam, which led {{AP|Torkoal}} to thaw him out with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Glalie was seen training with {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Infernape}} before Ash's battle with [[Conway]]. Ash was initially going to use Glalie because of its power to try to overwhelm Conway, but changed his mind as he knew that he couldn't depend on sheer power alone. In the end, Glalie was not seen participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.
[[File:Ash and Glalie.png|thumb|220px|Glalie and Ash]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Glalie was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Glalie, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, it was seen relaxing with [[Ash's Dracovish]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Glalie was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Snorunt, it was initially mischievous and troublesome, constantly playing pranks on Ash and his friends. Since its capture, it has been very energetic and giggly; seeming to laugh at everything whether it is good or bad. However, it has demonstrated that it can be serious a few times, namely when it rescued Ash from perishing in a blizzard or when it froze some berries to help [[Max]] treat a sick {{p|Ralts}}. Sometimes, Snorunt seems irrational, most notably when Snorunt argued with a {{p|Kirlia}} over what was best for the Ralts that Max had taken into his care. A running gag in the anime had it freeze people with its {{type|Ice}} attacks, usually Ash.

Even after gaining control over its attacks and evolving into Glalie, it continued to freeze its Trainer, although it does it out of affection for Ash, as shown in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''. Despite being mischievous, while it was a Snorunt, Glalie is loyal to its friends and would help them in anyway it can. Glalie would also protect its friends whenever they were endanger, as shown in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', when it took an attack from Team Rocket, after pushing {{AP|Pikachu}} out of the way, which led to its evolution.

'''Ash's Noivern''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオンバーン''' ''Satoshi's Onvern'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his forty-seventh overall.

==History==
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Ash Noibat flying.png|thumb|left|250px|Noibat learning how to fly]]
In ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'', Noibat was in his {{pkmn|Egg}} when he was first found by {{AP|Hawlucha}}, who was doing {{pkmn|training}} exercises. The {{pkmn|category|Wrestling Pokémon}} brought the Egg back to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, where he was about to hatch. In response, Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Fletchinder}}, Hawlucha, {{an|Bonnie}}, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} covered the Egg to keep it warm while it hatched, with Fletchinder using its {{a|Flame Body}} [[Ability]] to help.

When he hatched, Noibat first saw Ash. He was introduced to him along with his friends and their Pokémon. Noibat was very stressed out, so he let out a powerful {{m|Supersonic}} attack, hurting everyone's ears. He was eventually calmed down by Ash. Afterward, the group found apples for him with Noibat using his ultrasonic waves to sense the apples' taste. Noibat then attempted to fly but failed, causing him to launch another Supersonic blast until he was calmed down by Ash again. The group decided to help teach Noibat how to fly with Hawlucha and Fletchinder aiding him. Despite Noibat improving, he was still unable to fly. While training with Hawlucha and Fletchinder, {{TRT}} appeared and fired a net at Noibat whom they wanted to evolve into a {{p|Noivern}}. In the process of the kidnapping, they also captured Hawlucha, who attempted to protect him.

The two {{type|Flying}}s were then tied up to a tree. Noibat tried to use Supersonic on them but failed due to Team Rocket's soundproof earphones. Hawlucha managed to cut the rope using his nails and tried to sneak away along with Noibat, but they were soon spotted by Team Rocket. Hawlucha successfully escaped with Noibat, after attacking {{TP|James|Inkay}} with {{m|High Jump Kick}}, and knocking him down together with {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}. As they were still being pursued by the trio, Noibat spotted a cave and told Hawlucha to hide in there. Inside the pitch-black cave, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} tried to capture them and lure them into a trap set by Inkay and Pumpkaboo. Noibat used {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}} to sense the trio and had Hawlucha kick off their soundproof headphones, which allowed Noibat to use Supersonic, causing Team Rocket to flee. After Ash appeared and defeated Team Rocket with {{AP|Frogadier}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, the two Flying-types left the cave. Afterward, Noibat accepted Ash's offer to go with him and allowed himself to be captured in a {{i|Poké Ball}}. He was then let out, allowing him to train with Hawlucha and Fletchinder again.
[[File:XY077.png|thumb|250px|As a Noibat, participating in the Pokémon Sky Relay]]
In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', he continued to train how to fly along with Fletchinder and Hawlucha. Noibat struggled at tackling high winds, but Hawlucha taught Noibat how to deal with them. Afterwards, the group noticed a {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}}, and {{p|Staraptor}}. They went to the source of this, the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]], where they discovered that the birds came from the Sky Relay Champion, [[Orson]]. Later, Ash used Fletchinder, Hawlucha, and Noibat in the relay. Ash used Noibat in the last segment of the race. He started out in first place, but Starly was right behind him and had the advantage since Noibat hadn't fully mastered flying yet. Although he remained in first place initially, he encountered high winds, which Noibat struggled with. Starly used this to his advantage to pass Noibat and gain first place. After remembering his training with Hawlucha and everyone's support, he managed to overcome this and managed to get neck-to-neck with Starly. He eventually ended up second after barely losing to Starly, and was disappointed at first, but found that he had made his friends happy by learning to fly.

In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Noibat was used to navigate through [[Terminus Cave]], using echolocation in conjunction with {{an|Clemont}}'s searchlight, {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}'s fire, and {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}'s X-ray sight. During the group battle against [[Team Flare]], Noibat stunned [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Drapion}} with Supersonic and knocked it back with his newly revealed {{m|Tackle}} attack, but was then hit by {{p|Bisharp}}'s {{m|Iron Head}}. Noibat continued to battle until [[Squishy]] transformed to its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|10% Forme]] and defeated Team Flare's Pokémon.

In ''[[XY104|A Windswept Encounter!]]'', while Noibat was flying around as the group settled down for a rest, he accidentally rammed into a {{p|Breloom}} while the Mushroom Pokémon was admiring the flowers he was planning to give to an Orange Flower {{p|Floette}} to proclaim his love. As Noibat tried to apologize for crushing the flowers, the Breloom attacked him in rage first by using {{m|Poison Powder}}, then striking him down with his claw. When Floette passed by, she healed Noibat's condition using {{m|Aromatherapy}} and became friends with him. As Noibat flew around with her on his back, the offending Breloom became heartbroken and furious, leading him to threaten Noibat with his {{p|Beedrill}} entourage to separate Floette from him. Noibat defended Floette by trying to fight Breloom one on one but was beaten down. Pikachu wished to interfere to help, but Hawlucha prevented him from doing so and Ash explained that Noibat wanted to prove his worth as a full-fledged fighter. Noibat eventually managed to hit Breloom with a Tackle attack but was still about to lose. Before Breloom finished Noibat off, Floette saved him but was then kidnapped by Team Rocket along with Breloom. Noibat used Supersonic to search for their location after {{an|Clemont}}'s machine failed and found them quickly. After repeatedly trying to break the cage that held Breloom and Floette hostage with Tackle, he learned {{m|Acrobatics}} and successfully broke it. He then used the move again to defeat James's Inkay, making Team Rocket blast off.
[[File:Ash Noivern saving Hawlucha.png|thumb|250px|left|Noivern, right after evolving, saving Hawlucha]]
In ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', Ash used Noibat to navigate through a cave as Ash needed to deliver medicine to [[Joule Town]]'s hospital. On their way, they got attacked by a rampaging {{p|Zapdos}}. Noibat witnessed Talonflame's and Hawlucha's battles against Zapdos. Although both of them were able to hold their own, Zapdos was able to defeat Talonflame because of its type advantage and likewise blasted Hawlucha off a cliff. Seeing Hawlucha falling down the ravine, Noibat flew to him as quickly as possible, eventually evolving into {{p|Noivern}} for extra speed. After successfully saving Hawlucha, Noivern fought off Zapdos. With his newly-gained speed and power, he was able to dodge Zapdos's attacks and attacked it with his newly-learned {{m|Boomburst}}, although Zapdos dodged that as well. At Ash's command, Noivern engaged with Zapdos in a high-speed aerial duel and eventually managed to hide behind the cliffs, taking Zapdos by surprise with his powerful Boomburst and blasting it into a local mountain range. As Noivern had gained the upper hand, Team Rocket jumped in and tried to capture the weakened Zapdos, but Noivern and Pikachu sent them blasting off. Zapdos, having calmed down and respecting Noivern's power, made the thunderstorm disappear and flew off. Once Ash reunited with his friends, Noivern was seen sitting in a tree, eating some fruit after a long day.

In ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', Noivern was chosen by Ash to battle [[Alain]]'s {{p|Metang}}. The battle started with a collision between Acrobatics and {{m|Metal Claw}}, after which Noivern countered Metang's {{m|Psyshock}} with Boomburst. He managed to stun Metang using Supersonic and went for another Acrobatics, but Metang quickly recovered and countered with another Psyshock, hitting Noivern hard. While falling down Noivern made a speedy recovery and dodged an incoming {{m|Meteor Mash}}. He then hit Metang with another Boomburst, after which they collided with Acrobatics and Metal Claw again. After the smoke cleared, Noivern fell to the ground and Metang emerged victoriously. Ash then thanked Noivern for the good battle.

In ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', Noivern was Ash's first Pokémon used in his three-on-three battle against [[Sawyer]], where he faced Sawyer's {{p|Doublade}}. At first, he constantly attacked with Acrobatics, but Doublade shielded itself with {{m|Iron Defense}}, wearing Noivern out. After they repeatedly clashed this way, Doublade knocked down Noivern with its {{m|Slash}} and attempted to finish Noivern off using {{m|Night Slash}}. Noivern, however, used the dust from the battlefield to dodge Doublade's attack and used echolocation to spot Doublade in the dust cloud. He then proceeded to knock Doublade into the air with his newly revealed {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and finished his opponent off with Acrobatics, netting him his first official win. He then fought Sawyer's {{p|Clawitzer}}, dodging an incoming {{m|Crabhammer}} and knocking Clawitzer down with Boomburst. After Clawitzer recovered with {{m|Heal Pulse}}, Noivern attacked with Dragon Claw, but fell to a {{a|Mega Launcher}}-boosted super-effective {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.
[[File:Ash Noivern vs Sawyer Salamence.png|thumb|250px|Noivern batting Sawyer's Salamence]]
In ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', Noivern was used as Ash's fourth Pokémon in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He battled against Sawyer's {{p|Salamence}}. Noivern started off with Boomburst, and although Salamence was initially able to dodge the attack, it was eventually struck down. Both Pokémon then clashed with Dragon Claw and {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but Salamence was able to overpower Noivern, knocking him back. Noivern was then forced to dodge Salamence's {{m|Incinerate}} attacks and was then hit hard by a super-effective {{m|Dragon Tail}}. A collision between Incinerate and Boomburst created a large cloud of smoke. Knowing about Noivern's echolocation ability, Sawyer had Salamence use {{m|Protect}} to block an incoming Acrobatics. After the smoke had cleared, both {{type|Dragon}}s once again clashed with Acrobatics and Dragon Rush, creating a large explosion. As a result, both Pokémon were unable to battle any further, resulting in a draw.

Noivern was Ash's second Pokémon used in the finals of the Conference against Alain in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', where he went up against his {{p|Weavile}}. Despite being at a severe type disadvantage, Noivern was able to put up a good fight. He started the battle with Supersonic, but Weavile blocked the attack with Protect, allowing it to retaliate with Night Slash. Noivern, however, quickly recovered from the hit and sent Weavile flying into the rocky hill with another Supersonic. After a collision between {{m|Ice Beam}} and Boomburst, Noivern went for Dragon Claw. Weavile used {{m|Double Team}} in an attempt to dodge the attack, but Noivern was able to spot the real Weavile using echolocation. Despite this, Weavile was still able to dodge Dragon Claw and managed to hit Noivern with Ice Beam which partially froze his wing, causing him to fall into the stream. Weavile then dove after Noivern and hit him with Night Slash, knocking him out. Before Ash recalled Noivern, Hawlucha popped out of his Poké Ball to comfort him and decided to fight Weavile in his place.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Noivern, along with Ash and Ash's other Pokémon, was taken captive on the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]]. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Noivern and the other Pokémon free with Dragon Claw, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and a {{Shiny}} {{me|Gyarados}} together. During the battle, Noivern used Boomburst to protect Greninja from {{p|Pyroar}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and double teamed with Hawlucha to attack the Royal Pokémon. Noivern continued battling Mega Gyarados in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', where he and Pikachu fired off their Boomburst and {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Their attacks were countered by Gyarados's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, however, who then targeted Pikachu for a Dragon Tail. Noivern then protected Pikachu by pushing him aside, taking the hit instead which knocked him out. In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Noivern and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from {{an|Professor Sycamore}} for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

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

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash Dragonite training.png|thumb|250px|left|Noivern and Ash's other Flying types training Dragonite]]
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Noivern reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]].

Noivern, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Dragonite]] and later 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.

In [[JN118]], Noivern was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Noivern.png|thumb|250px|Noivern and Ash]]
After hatching, he quickly imprinted on Ash, presumably because he is who Noivern first saw. He was also impressed by Hawlucha's abilities in his debut. As a newborn Pokémon, he struggled to fly and was upset when he failed. When stressed or upset, he lets out a powerful {{m|Supersonic}} attack. In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', he did the same when he was happy. Like all Noivern, he has an affinity toward fruit, but can be a picky eater as he refused to eat apples which he thought were bad. As a Noibat, he had the ability to use ultrasonic waves, which he first used in ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'' to tell if a fruit was bad or good. He later used {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}} to spot Team Rocket in pitch darkness, allowing Hawlucha to attack them without being seen.
[[File:Ash Hawlucha Noivern.png|thumb|250px|left|Noivern and Hawlucha]]
Noivern is shown to have a very parent-child like relationship with Ash. As such, Noivern is able to be calmed down easily by Ash, and very much enjoys being around him. He also has a close relationship with Hawlucha and Talonflame, since they helped Noivern learn how to fly and seems to enjoy being with them. Hawlucha's protective and father-like attitude for Noivern is observed in the events of ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]''. After Noivern is knocked out by Weavile, Hawlucha comes out of its Poké Ball to check on Noivern. Noivern also seems to take after Ash, acting very similarly to him, and seems to take inspiration from him. When in the Pokémon Sky Relay race, Noivern was determined to win and managed to come in second place due to Ash's encouragement. Noivern seems to want Ash's approval and is upset when he is denied a chance to prove himself, as shown when he was very upset at narrowly losing the Pokémon Sky Relay. Once Ash gave Noivern the praise he desired, he quickly cheered up.

During the events of ''[[XY104|A Windswept Encounter!]]'', Noivern wished to prove himself as a full-fledged battler in his own right, and both Ash and Hawlucha understood this and refused to let Pikachu interfere with his battle, even though his opponent had the upper hand. Since evolving, Noivern became much stronger than before and is willing to go up against powerful and formidable foes like {{p|Zapdos}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

Noivern has also been shown to willingly protect his friends, like in ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', where he flied to save Hawlucha while he was falling from the sky after battling a wild Zapdos. In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', he also protected Pikachu when [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} {{p|Gyarados}} went to hit the Mouse Pokémon with {{m|Dragon Tail}} by pushing Pikachu aside and taking the attack for himself, resulting in Noivern's defeat. Noivern and {{AP|Goodra}} quickly became very good friends after meeting each other, and appears to enjoy its company, as shown in ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]''. Since being left at Professor Oak's lab, Noivern also became friends with Ash's other Flying types.

'''Ash's Talonflame''' (Japanese: '''サトシのファイアロー''' ''Satoshi's Fiarrow'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his forty-fourth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====
[[File:Ash Froakie battling Fletchling.png|thumb|left|250px|Fletchling in its debut, battling Froakie]]
Talonflame debuted as a Fletchling in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', where it stole a [[Berry]] that {{an|Bonnie}} was trying to feed to a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, which subsequently made Bonnie cry. As a result, [[Ash's Froakie]] attempted to battle Fletchling, only to be repeatedly knocked out of the air. After Fletchling left, {{an|Clemont}} tried to attract it with one of his [[Clemontic Gear]]s, only for Fletchling to set them up into being attacked by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}. The chase led Ash and {{ashfr}} to a canyon, where Froakie challenged Fletchling to another battle. Using the terrain to its advantage, Froakie managed to defeat Fletchling and this resulted in its catch by Ash. Fletchling was soon sent out again to be introduced to everyone else where it shared an Oran Berry with Froakie and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Fletchling was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his [[Santalune Gym]] battle against [[Viola]], it went up against her {{p|Surskit}}. It was unaffected by the slippery field caused by {{m|Ice Beam}} as well as having a type-advantage. Fletchling used {{m|Peck}} which was dodged and avoided an Ice Beam attack, Surskit used {{m|Sticky Web}}, which Fletchling dodged by using {{m|Double Team}}. It used {{m|Razor Wind}} hitting Surskit knocking it out. It then went up against her {{p|Vivillon}}, its Peck was countered with {{m|Psychic}} and it was smashed on the ground, it was then hit with {{m|Gust}} and was pushed into the Sticky Web Surskit set before, it was unable to escape and hit with {{m|Solar Beam}}, knocking it out causing Ash to lose the Gym battle. After it was healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], it trained with Pikachu for their rematch by using [[Alexa]]'s {{p|Noivern}} using Gust to help them withstand Vivillon's Gust.
[[File:Ash Pikachu Fletchling training.png|thumb|250px|Fletchling training for the rematch against Viola]]
In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', while continuing its training along with Pikachu, it was able to withstand Noivern's Gust well, later using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's Sticky Web, after it broke, they used Froakie and its frubbles instead to practice. Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon in his Gym battle rematch against Viola, it went up against her Vivillon. Its {{m|Steel Wing}} was countered with Psychic, dealing damage to Fletchling. It hit with a second Steel Wing but its Peck was dodged. Vivillon used Gust, but using its training it was able to withstand it and use a spinning Razor Wind, but Vivillon used its final move, {{m|Sleep Powder}}, to put Fletchling to {{status|sleep}} and it was defeated by Solar Beam.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon during his battle against [[Grant]] at the [[Cyllage Gym]]. Fletchling went up against {{p|Tyrunt}}. It used Razor Wind but Tyrunt used its powerful mouth and fangs with {{m|Crunch}} to bite and block the move. Ash changed strategy and trying to confuse Tyrunt, he had Fletchling used Double Team, it used Steel Wing and aimed for its chest, but Tyrunt jumped and dodged the attacks and then used {{m|Dragon Tail}} to destroy the copies but the real Fletchling hit Tyrunt with a [[super effective]] Steel Wing, but the Royal Heir Pokémon hit back with Dragon Tail again, knocking Fletchling out.
[[File:Ash Fletchling Sky Battle.png|thumb|250px|left|Fletchling and Ash in a Sky Battle]]
In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Ash and his friends met a Trainer named [[Moria]], a {{tc|Sky Trainer}}, and her {{p|Talonflame}}. She offered to have a [[Sky Battle]] with Ash and took them to a place where they could test out the Sky Battle gear. Ash sent out Fletchling and {{AP|Hawlucha}} to join them while they practiced. When Fletchling met Talonflame, it wished to battle it, but Talonflame was not impressed and Moria chose to battle Hawlucha instead, which upset Fletchling. Fletchling stayed with Bonnie while Ash and Hawlucha battled Talonflame, studying how Talonflame moved and attacked. After Hawlucha was defeated it helped rescue Talonflame from Team Rocket, earning Talonflame's respect. Afterwards Talonflame decided it wanted to battle against Fletchling after all. Fletchling was able to dodge many of Talonflame's attacks due to its small size and using what it learned from watching Hawlucha's battle. Fletchling was eventually hit by a powerful {{m|Fire Blast}} and evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}} in the process. It successfully defeated Talonflame with its newly learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, using the speed increase from the new move three times to easily follow it and attack.

As a Fletchinder, it was used during Ash's battle against {{an|Korrina}} at the [[Shalour Gym]] in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''. It was his second Pokémon and went up against Korrina's {{p|Machoke}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but Machoke used its incredible running and jumping ability to dodge and hit Fletchinder with {{m|Brick Break}}. Fletchinder was then hit by a speedy {{m|Low Kick}}. Fletchinder went for Steel Wing but it was caught by Machoke who threw it. Fletchinder recovered and used Razor Wind. Machoke then went for {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Fletchinder used Flame Charge and hit Machoke after it dodged Focus Blast, knocking it out. Korrina then sent out her final Pokémon, her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}, she immediately [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] it into {{me|Lucario}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but Mega Lucario used {{m|Metal Sound}}, blocking Flame Charge and lowering Fletchinder's Special Defense. Fletchinder broke through and hit Mega Lucario with Flame Charge, which was super-effective. Mega Lucario then used {{m|Aura Sphere}} but Fletchinder countered with Steel Wing, blocking the attack. Mega Lucario then quickly came from behind and used {{m|Power-Up Punch}}, knocking Fletchinder out.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Fletchinder was called out to battle [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} at the [[Coumarine Gym]]. It used Flame Charge but Jumpluff was able to protect itself by using {{m|Cotton Guard}}. Jumpluff then used {{m|Sunny Day}}, creating [[harsh sunlight]]. Fletchinder then used Steel Wing, but Jumpluff managed to dodge thanks to its {{a|Chlorophyll}} [[Ability]]. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but its attack was once again dodged. However, the effect of Flame Charge increased its {{stat|Speed}}, allowing it to hit with a second one. Although Jumpluff used Cotton Guard, it was not enough and Fletchinder defeated the Cottonweed Pokémon. It then went up against Ramos's {{p|Weepinbell}}, Fletchinder used Flame Charge but it was dodged, as Weepinbell activated its Chlorophyll Ability using the harsh sunlight from Jumpluff. It used Flame Charge again but Weepinbell used its {{m|Poison Powder}} to escape, {{status|Poison|poisoning}} Fletchinder in the process. While it was down, it was hit by Weepinbell's {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Fletchinder got up and used Flame Charge, but the Flycatcher Pokémon dodged and used the vines above the battlefield to climb on top of Fletchinder and launch {{m|Slam}}, rendering Fletchinder [[Fainting|unable to battle]].
[[File:Ash Fletchinder Flame Body.png|thumb|250px|Flame Body activated, as a Fletchinder]]
In ''[[XY074|Fairy-Type Trickery!]]'', Fletchinder was the first Pokémon sent out by Ash during his battle against [[Valerie]] at the [[Laverre Gym]]. It went up against her {{p|Sylveon}}. Fletchinder landed a successful super-effective Steel Wing on Sylveon, but it was hit with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Fletchinder attempted to use {{m|Peck}}, but it got caught in Sylveon's feelers and was spun around while being hit with {{m|Fairy Wind}}. Sylveon attempted to crash Flecthinder into the ground, but it was able to break free with Flame Charge and hit Sylveon. Sylveon used {{m|Giga Impact}} while Fletchinder used Steel Wing, both attacks hit, but only Fletchinder was able to remain up, defeating the Intertwining Pokémon. Valerie then used {{p|Spritzee}}, Fletchinder went for a Steel Wing but the Perfume Pokémon dodged and used {{m|Trick Room}}, meaning that the slowest Pokémon attacks first. Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge but Clemont realized it was a bad idea since Trick Room meant that Pokémon that are normally fast would be slower inside the Trick Room. With this, Spritzee easily dodged the attacks. Despite this, Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge and Spritzee hit Fletchinder with {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge again, which was dodged and was hit by {{m|Gyro Ball}}. After having another Flame Charge dodged, Trick Room ended and Fletchinder hit Spritzee with a speedy Steel Wing, which caused the other to realize Ash's strategy was to wait until Trick Room ended and then use speed. However, Fletchinder was hit by {{m|Moonblast}} and knocked out.

In ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'', it was training until Hawlucha found an Egg and brought it back to Ash. While it was hatching, Fletchinder used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to keep it warm until it hatched into a {{AP|Noibat}}. Later after Noibat was frustrated by its inability to fly, it and Hawlucha offered to help to teach it to fly, Fletchinder flew while Noibat tried to trail it by flying but failed and almost crashed into the ground until it was caught by Ash. After failing with Hawlucha, they went to the hills to make practicing easier; however, Hawlucha and Noibat were captured by Team Rocket. Fletchinder tried to rescue them with Steel Wing, but {{TP|James|Inkay}} used its Ink Spray, blinding Fletchinder and stopping its attack. It was caught by Ash and then followed Team Rocket to a cave where it lead Ash and the other to them, where Pikachu and {{AP|Frogadier}} defeated Team Rocket. After Ash caught Noibat, it continued training with Noibat and Hawlucha, to help teach Noibat to fly.

In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', it continued to train Noibat how to fly along with Hawlucha. Afterwards they noticed a {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}} and {{p|Staraptor}}. They went to the source of this, the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]], where they discovered that the birds came from the Sky Relay Champion, [[Orson]]. Later Ash used Fletchinder, Hawlucha, and Noibat in the relay. Fletchinder was used in the first part of the race. It had a good lead initially and did well when it got into the forest, but when a {{p|Hydreigon}} crashed into a tree, apples fell down, forcing Fletchinder to dodge them, causing it to lose its first position. It ended up being third at the end of the first segment when it passed the baton onto Hawlucha, behind Staravia and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}, which was hiding inside an Altaria. They eventually ended up second after Noibat barely lost to Starly, but it and the others were pleased with Noibat, who had successfully learned to fly.
[[File:Ash Talonflame vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|left|Battling Moltres as a newly-evolved Talonflame]]
In ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it was used in a battle against {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charmeleon}}. It used its speedy movements to dodge a {{m|Fire Spin}} and block {{m|Flamethrower}} with a spinning Steel Wing. After knocking Charmeleon back with Flame Charge, Fletchinder barely managed to avoid a Dragon Claw. Charmeleon then used Flamethrower again, but this was dodged again and Fletchinder struck the Flame Pokémon with Steel Wing, knocking it out. Shortly after, Ash called upon Fletchinder to battle Team Rocket and later, a wild {{p|Moltres}}. However, it was soon overwhelmed by the power of the Legendary Pokémon. When Ash tried to tell Fletchinder to wait for him, Moltres noticed the group and attacked them instead. Fletchinder, determined to save the group, sped ahead of Moltres's Flamethrower and, during the fast-paced flight, suddenly evolved into {{p|Talonflame}} and successfully blocked the attack, also learning {{m|Brave Bird}} as a result. Though it evolved and learned a new move, Moltres was just too strong and knocked Talonflame out with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. Falling towards the lava, Talonflame looked doomed, but Ash plunged to help it, risking his own life in the process. They avoided being incinerated when {{AP|Frogadier}} saved them with its Frubbles. Once Ash and Talonflame were safely pulled up, Ash's friends scolded him for almost getting himself killed, but Moltres was impressed by Ash's courage and flew away into the sky.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', Talonflame was used along with Frogadier in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the [[Anistar Gym]]. After Olympia's Meowstic used a {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}}, Talonflame and Frogadier headed in for the attack. Both Meowstic simply dodged the attacks and began levitating. Ash then had Talonflame attack the male Meowstic with Flame Charge and scored a successful hit, after Meowstic set up his {{m|Light Screen}}, which protected his partner against Frogadier's Water Pulse. Talonflame was then hit by Olympia's female Meowstic but was caught by Frogadier before hitting the ground. Both Meowstic then fired off their {{m|Psyshock}}, which kept following their targets due to the female Meowstic's {{a|Keen Eye}} Ability, and were able to hit their opponents. As Talonflame and Frogadier stood up and were about to counterattack, wormholes appeared and Future Sight struck Talonflame, knocking it into Frogadier. Ash then came up with a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. Ash then had Talonflame use Brave Bird and Frogadier use Double Team to cover Talonflame. After the female Meowstic wiped the clones out with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, its Dark Pulse was canceled out by Frogadier's {{m|Cut}}, giving Talonflame the chance to hit her hard with Brave Bird. She, however, immediately recovered and launched a {{m|Thunder Wave}} at Talonflame, but Frogadier jumped in and took the attack, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} it. Meowstic then used Future Sight once again and fired off a double Psyshock. Knowing that dodging wouldn't work, Ash had Talonflame charge in, slicing through their attacks with Steel Wing. As the Psyshock headed back towards Talonflame, they were stopped by Frogadier's Water Pulse and Talonflame struck the male Meowstic with a spinning Steel Wing. It later caught Frogadier, who just got hit, but was then struck by Future Sight again. After Future Sight was used again, Talonflame carried Frogadier and charged towards the Meowstic. The {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon attacked with Psyshock and Dark Pulse, which kept following their marks again. Talonflame, however, led the attack towards the Meowstic and flew off at the last moment, causing them to get hit by their own attacks. Talonflame and Frogadier then grabbed onto the Meowstic. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. Talonflame then saved the paralyzed Frogadier from Psyshock and used Flame Charge to shield itself and Frogadier from Meowstic's attacks. Talonflame then knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, while Frogadier defeated the male with Water Pulse. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.

In ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', Ash sent out Talonflame to try to distract a wild {{p|Zapdos}} that was attacking him, so he could reach [[Joule Town]] and deliver medicine to the town's hospital. Talonflame once more managed to hold its own against a Legendary bird, using its great speed to dodge Zapdos's attacks. Zapdos, however, eventually struck it down with {{m|Charge Beam}}, followed up by a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, forcing Ash to recall it.
[[File:Ash Talonflame vs Wulfric Avalugg.png|thumb|250px|Talonflame battling Wulfric's Avalugg]]
In ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'', Ash chose to use Talonflame as his second Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Wulfric]], facing his {{p|Avalugg}}. Talonflame made a strong opening with Flame Charge, also increasing his speed. Wulfric, however, used Talonflame's great Speed to his advantage and had Avalugg use {{m|Avalanche}}, which was powered up due to Avalugg acting after its opponent. Additionally, any attacks made by Talonflame were quickly healed because of Avalugg's {{a|Ice Body}} Ability, due to the {{weather|Hail|hailstorm}} set up previously. Talonflame narrowly dodged the incoming {{m|Stone Edge}}, and hit Avalugg with another Flame Charge, but this proved to be a repeated mistake as Avalugg simply knocked it out with another Avalanche.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', Talonflame was used in Ash's rematch with Wulfric, where it faced his Avalugg again. Just like last time, it managed to land a hit with Flame Charge. Avalugg then retaliated with Stone Edge and while Talonflame managed to dodge most of the stone pillars emerging from the ground, it got struck by the last one. Talonflame, however, shook it off and cut into Avalugg's back with Steel Wing. Talonflame was then hit by a powered-up Avalanche, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to melt the falling chunks of ice and hit Avalugg hard, finally defeating the Iceberg Pokémon. It then faced Wulfric's last Pokémon, his {{p|Abomasnow}}, who set up a hailstorm upon entry using his {{a|Snow Warning}} Ability. While continuously being damaged by the Hail, Talonflame flew towards Abomasnow using Steel Wing, but Abomasnow countered with {{m|Wood Hammer}}, overpowering it. Talonflame then went for Flame Charge, but its attack was stopped once again as it got struck by {{m|Ice Shard}} and immediately after slammed to the ground with another Wood Hammer, knocking it out.

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', Talonflame was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in Ash's [[Full Battle]] against [[Sawyer]] as his second Pokémon, where it faced Sawyer's {{p|Slaking}}. Just like in Slaking's battle against Hawlucha, Slaking was able to take a hit from Talonflame's Steel Wing and restore its health with {{m|Slack Off}}. Talonflame then used Flame Charge which {{p|Slaking}} countered with {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Weakened by all the damage it had taken, Slaking fell to its knee, allowing Talonflame to overpower it. Talonflame then proceeded to finally defeat its opponent with a strong Brave Bird. Talonflame then faced Sawyer's {{p|Clawitzer}}, who was able to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} for greater aerial mobility, forcing Talonflame to take evasive actions. Clawitzer was then able to partially freeze Talonflame's wing with Ice Beam, but the Scorching Pokémon used Flame Charge to melt the ice and head towards Clawitzer. A collision between Flame Charge and Aqua Jet, however, knocked Talonflame out while Clawitzer remained standing.
[[File:Ash Talonflame vs Alain Unfezant.png|thumb|left|250px|Talonflame battling Alain's Unfezant]]
Talonflame was used in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]] as Ash's fourth Pokémon, in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]''. It went up against {{p|Unfezant}}. The two Flying-types immediately engaged in a high-speed aerial duel as both attacked each other with Steel Wing, after which they clashed. Talonflame sped itself up with Flame Charge, but Unfezant countered with {{m|Sky Attack}}. Talonflame was then struck by an {{m|Air Slash}}, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to increase its speed to catch up to Unfezant and strike him back. The two bird Pokémon then collided with Brave Bird and Sky Attack, knocking both out simultaneously.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Talonflame, along with Ash and Ash's other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]]. It could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Talonflame and the other Pokémon free with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and a {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} together. Talonflame continued battling Mega Gyarados in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', but while charging towards it using Flame Charge, it was knocked into the air by Stone Edge along with Ash's Greninja. They were then caught by Charizard, but Gyarados slammed them down with Dragon Tail, knocking Talonflame out. In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Talonflame and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from {{an|Professor Sycamore}} for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

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

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|Talonflame with Ash's Fire types and Gengar]]
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Talonflame reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Some time before, Talonflame had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle Moltres.

Talonflame, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, it helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Talonflame was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Talonflame.png|thumb|left|250px|Talonflame and Ash]]
Prior to being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Fletchling would steal {{pkmn|food}} from other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as shown when it took a [[Berry]] from {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. It was also shown to be mischievous as it led the group to a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm. Fletchling also showed a sense of humor by laughing at them after being attacked. After Ash caught Fletchling, it warmed up to the group and became friendly towards them. Compared to the more subdued {{AP|Greninja}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}}, Fletchling tends to be more animated and emotional, puffing its chest out when confident and showing visible shock and tears when upset. In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Fletchling became dejected after [[Moria]]'s {{p|Talonflame}} dismissed it as weak. It was also shown in the same episode to be intelligent and resourceful; while Talonflame battled Hawlucha, it studied how Talonflame battled, and used what it learned to evade and defeat the evolved Pokémon later.

Talonflame is usually used as a scout, in a manner similar to that of [[Ash's Staraptor]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} in previous [[series]]. However, despite not usually being used in battles against other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Talonflame is frequently used in [[Gym]] battles, fighting in all except for Ash's fifth badge. This shows the confidence Ash places in Talonflame's speed and strength. It is safe to assume therefore, that Talonflame is an accomplished battler. Talonflame hasn't shown the same enthusiasm as Hawlucha or Greninja, but when in battle, it becomes focused and determined to defeat its opponent, no matter what the opponent may be, even if at a type disadvantage. Talonflame has also adopted Ash's never give up mentality, as it has taken many hard hitting blows in the past, and always gotten back up. This shows that Talonflame is quite the resilient Pokémon. It also seems to want to prove itself against other Flying types, as it wished to fight Moria's Talonflame to the point of crying in frustration when rejected by it. Both of its evolutions occurring in battles against other Flying-types is further indication of this. In addition, Talonflame is willing to put itself in harm's way to protect its friends. As a Fletchinder in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it intercepted {{p|Moltres}}'s powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to protect Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Greninja as a Frogadier, Trevor, and Trevor's Charmeleon. After evolving, it fought to the point of exhaustion to calm the [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', during a [[Double Battle]] with [[Olympia]], Talonflame voluntarily stepped up to cover Greninja as a Frogadier and provide an offensive push for Ash after Greninja was {{status|paralyzed}} by Olympia's {{p|Meowstic}}'s {{m|Thunder Wave}}.
[[File:Ash Noibat flying.png|thumb|250px|Fletchinder teaching Noibat how to fly]]
Talonflame is also humble in defeat. After losing to Greninja as a Froakie when it was a Fletchling, which resulted in its subsequent catch, Talonflame did not sulk or feel sorry for itself. Rather, it shared an [[Oran Berry]] snack with Pikachu and Froakie, symbolizing their new found friendship. Talonflame is loyal to its friends as well, which is show by its constant willingness to search for its friends whenever they get separated from {{ashfr|the group}}. Talonflame seems to have a good relationship with {{an|Bonnie}}, as it took inspiration from her words, which helped it to evolve when a Fletchling. This also shows that Talonflame is not too proud as to refuse advice when given it, and will persist to improve itself. It has also been hinted that Talonflame has become more moralistic, as it showed remorse after being scolded by Bonnie for stealing food from [[wild Pokémon]]. It also enjoys having its wings cleaned by Bonnie, as stated by Ash.

As shown in ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'' Talonflame also has good parental instincts. Upon discovering a [[Pokémon Egg]], Talonflame, as a Fletchinder, used its Flame Body Ability to keep the Egg warm. Once the Egg hatched, and was revealed to be a Noibat, Fletchinder, along with Hawlucha, became Noibat's mentors and began to teach it how to fly. It continued to help Noibat with its flying abilities in ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', which led it to forming a friendship with the Sound Wave Pokémon. Since being left at Professor Oak's lab, Talonflame befriended Ash's Fire types and enjoys hanging out with them. Talonflame also became friends with {{AP|Gengar}} when it came to visit the lab.

'''Ash's Unfezant''' (Japanese: '''サトシのケンホロウ''' ''Satoshi's Kenhallow'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-fourth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Ash Pidove being caught.png|thumb|left|250px|Pidove being caught]]
In prior [[region|regions]], Ash always caught a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon early in his {{pkmn|journey}}. He continued this trend with Pidove, who was captured soon after his arrival in Unova. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', shortly after a flock of Pidove escaped when Ash failed to capture one of them, he noticed her pecking at the ground and engaged her in a battle. She managed to put up a good fight against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until the {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon used his powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks, which caused her to faint. Ash threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} and successfully caught her. Later on, for the first time, Pidove was sent out in an effort to save Pikachu and [[Iris's Axew]] from {{TRT}}'s capture. However, as she was still weak from her battle with Pikachu, she was quickly defeated by [[Jessie's Woobat]]'s powerful Gust attack. She was later healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], along with Pikachu and Axew.

Pidove was occasionally used by Ash to find and track certain Pokémon. She helped Ash find two {{p|Darumaka}} in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'' and a wild {{AP|Snivy}} in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', playing a dominant role in the {{t|Grass}} Pokémon's capture. At the time, Pidove had followed Snivy throughout from the time she escaped using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. As she witnessed all of Ash's other Pokémon (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Tepig}}) fall to the Grass Snake Pokémon's {{m|Attract}} technique, she volunteered to battle Snivy. When Snivy attempted to use Attract on Pidove, Pidove was unaffected as she was female (a fact of which Ash had been completely unaware of, despite Iris and Cilan's assumptions that it was his strategy). After a hard-fought battle, Pidove weakened Snivy enough for her to be captured by Ash.

In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', she was briefly used by Ash in a 5-on-5 battle against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Frillish}}. She tried her best but after her Air Cutter attack was blocked by {{m|Protect}}, she was taken by surprise by his {{m|Water Pulse}}, and got knocked out in the process.

In ''[[BW018|Seawaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', Pidove was transferred to [[Professor Juniper]] shortly after Ash captured Sewaddle, although it would not be revealed until the [[BW019|following episode]]. She would return to his team three episodes later.

In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', Ash used her to help send the {{p|Venipede}} that took over [[Castelia City]] to the park in the center of the city. Although things started well, she was almost hit by a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and was only just saved by an Air Cutter from Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}. She then helped remove a few more and then suddenly evolved into Tranquill herself. As a result of her stronger form, Tranquill was able to clear out the last Venipede with a powerful Gust alongside help from Trip's Tranquill and its Aerial Ace attacks.

In ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', Tranquill was used to help a newly revived {{p|Archen}} learn how to fly. After Archen evolved into {{p|Archeops}}, Tranquill defended her from Team Rocket and they said their goodbyes, up in the air, once Archeops found some others.
[[File:Ash Unfezant vs Skyla Swanna.png|thumb|left|250px|Unfezant battling Skyla's Swanna]]
Ash used Tranquill to battle [[Skyla]] in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]''. She was first sent out to battle {{p|Swoobat}} who had already defeated {{AP|Krokorok}} before her. After their Gust and Air Cutter attacks proved to be dead even, the battle took to the sky, where Tranquill tried to get the upper hand with her recently learned move, Wing Attack. However, Swoobat was able to swiftly dodge the barrage of Wing Attacks until it was finally beaten by Tranquill's powerful Air Cutter attacks, as they descended to the ground. She then fought Skyla's {{p|Unfezant}}, but with none of her attacks even touching Unfezant due to her lack of speed, Tranquill started to show signs of tiring after narrowly escaping a barrage of {{m|Air Slash}} attacks and was called back to her Poké Ball, while {{AP|Pikachu}} took her place. She was brought back out again after Pikachu had lost to [[Skyla's Swanna]] despite having the type advantage. During the battle with Swanna, she was able to hit it with a powerful Quick Attack and Air Cutter, causing Swanna to fall towards the Gym; she then rushed past Swanna and tried to hit it with Gust, however, Gust was vastly overpowered by Swanna's {{m|Hurricane}} attack. While it seemed as if Tranquill had been knocked out, she began to glow and evolved into Unfezant. With her newfound power and speed, she was easily able to dodge Swanna's powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attacks and with the help of her newly learned Aerial Ace attack, was able to defeat Swanna with one extremely powerful hit, winning her the battle and earning Ash his sixth Unova {{Badge|Jet|Badge}}.

In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'', Ash sent Unfezant out as his second Pokémon in his 6-on-3 Gym battle against [[Roxie]], where she faced Roxie's {{p|Koffing}}. Unfezant started the round with a Quick Attack, that made a direct hit. Koffing then attacked back with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but Unfezant sent it back with a Gust before attacking with Air Cutter. Koffing, however, avoided the attack and launched a {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which hit and {{status|poison}}ed Unfezant. Though she was weakened, Unfezant was able to withstand Koffing's {{m|Clear Smog}} and fight back. She was, however, unable to stand two consecutive {{m|Gyro Ball}}s, and was finally taken down.
[[File:Ash and Unfezant.png|thumb|250px|Unfezant and Ash]]
In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Ash used Unfezant along with {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle the {{an|Forces of Nature}} after {{an|Giovanni}} took control of them to keep Ash and friends occupied. After [[Iris's Dragonite]] was injured and fell to the ground, Unfezant and Pikachu managed to save {{an|Iris}} and Dragonite from being attacked by {{DL|Forces of Nature (anime)|Thundurus}}. When {{an|Meloetta}} was finally freed from the tomb, Unfezant grabbed it so that it didn't fall and get hurt.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Unfezant in his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{un|Cameron}} and his {{TP|Cameron|Riolu}}. Despite Unfezant having the type advantage, Riolu proved to be a powerful opponent, being able to dodge both Gust and Quick Attack before landing on Unfezant's back and serving a close-range hit with {{m|Force Palm}}. Ash told Unfezant to shake Riolu off and then strike back with an Air Cutter. However, the Emanation Pokémon was able to dodge the attack and then use {{m|Copycat}}, hitting Unfezant with her own move, before serving another hit with {{m|Vacuum Wave}}. Unfezant tried to attack with Aerial Ace, but the Flying-type's last effort was avoided and countered by Riolu's {{m|Circle Throw}}, which sent Unfezant flying into the arena wall, knocking her out.

In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash sent Unfezant to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in order to make room in his team for his returning {{AP|Charizard}}, rotating her out of the team for the rest of the series.

She later reunited with Ash and the entire Unova team at Oak's lab in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. Unfezant joined in with them to launch a group attack on Team Rocket, using Air Cutter to send them blasting off for the final time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Unfezant later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, she was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash Dragonite training.png|thumb|250px|left|Unfezant and Ash's other Flying types training Dragonite]]
Unfezant, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, she helped train [[Ash's Dragonite]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, she posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN118]], Unfezant was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.
{{-}}
===Personality and characteristics===
Unfezant is a helpful Pokémon, such as when Ash needs help dealing with Team Rocket or when he needs her to search for a Pokémon. She also goes the extra mile when helping with training, such as when {{p|Archen}} needed help with her flying skills. Unfezant isn't a confrontational Pokémon, not even fighting back when attacked by [[Ash's Scraggy]], instead choosing to freak out and run away from him and, in the same instance, is rather sensitive.

Unfezant is also quite confident, as shown in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', where she took no hesitation in trying to clear [[Castelia City]] from the group of {{p|Venipede}}. After evolving into Unfezant and beating [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Swanna}} in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', she celebrated by doing a couple of victory laps above the Gym. Since being left at Professor Oak's lab, Unfezant has shown to get along really well with Ash's other flying types.

'''Ash's Pignite''' (Japanese: '''サトシのチャオブー''' ''Satoshi's Chaoboo'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-sixth overall.

===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
=====Unova=====
[[File:Tepig Release.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Tepig, being abandoned by Shamus, his original Trainer]]
======With Shamus======
As a Tepig, Pignite once belonged to a Trainer named [[Shamus]], who abandoned him at the [[Accumula Town]] Pokémon [[Battle Club]] after losing to a {{p|Deerling}} in battle. Shamus was disappointed in Tepig and so, Tepig was tied to a post. When [[Don George]] tried to untie him, Tepig broke free of his bonds and began searching for his Trainer, but to no avail.

When Ash visited the Accumula Town Pokémon Battle Club in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'', Ash mistook Tepig for an {{p|Umbreon}} when watching a security tape of him stealing food from the nearby warehouse. In an attempt to capture the 'Umbreon', Ash then met Tepig for the first time when he was trying to eat some bait. He realized that Tepig was covered in soot and was unable to eat as there was a rope tied around his mouth, making him extremely hungry and very skinny. Initially, Tepig tried to run away, but after being cornered by Ash and having his rope removed and fed, he was carried back to the Battle Club by Ash. Later on, Tepig volunteered to help Ash retrieve his {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}. Later, when {{an|Iris}} wanted to capture Tepig, he refused and decided he wanted to join Ash's team and Ash caught him in a {{i|Poké Ball}}.

======With Ash======
In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Tepig was Ash's Pokémon during his first [[Striaton Gym]] battle against [[Chili]] and his {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, this surprised Iris, who thought he should have used a {{type|Water}} like Oshawott, Tepig hit with his Tackle, but it didn't do much to Pansear, but Pansear's {{m|Fire Punch}} did a lot of Tepig. Then Pansear's Flamethrower overwhelmed Tepig's Ember and then he took more damage of {{m|Dig}}. Tepig then ran around to dodge another Dig, but was then hit by another Dig. Pansear used Dig again but then Ash had Tepig jump into the hole and bite Pansear, when it emerged Tepig was biting Pansear's tail, though Pansear smashed Tepig into the ground, Tepig got up and still biting Pansear's tail, flung it around and then defeated Pansear with Ember and a Tackle attack.

In ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', Tepig was revealed to be male when he battled a wild {{AP|Snivy}} that would eventually be caught by Ash. Although he managed to use an Ember attack, he was hit by the Snivy's {{m|Attract}} attack and became infatuated with her, causing him to be recalled.
[[File:Ash Tepig.png|thumb|250px|As a {{p|Tepig}}]]
In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he was used to fight against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}}. Like {{AP|Oshawott}} before him, he was defeated by an {{m|Aerial Ace}} attack from the {{pkmn|category|Wild Pigeon Pokémon}}, who not only landed a [[critical hit]] with its {{a|Super Luck}} Ability, but also had its damage enhanced by {{m|Work Up}}.

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', he battled [[Lenora]]'s {{p|Lillipup}}, which promptly used {{m|Roar}} to force Tepig back into his Poké Ball. After Lenora's {{p|Watchog}} defeated Oshawott, he fought Lillipup again and was defeated. In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', he trained alongside Ash at Don George's Battle Club. He ran on a treadmill and dodged black balls that symbolized {{m|Shadow Ball}} attacks. By training, Tepig became faster and stronger and learned Flame Charge. Later on, he battled Lenora's {{p|Herdier}}, which soon used Roar to force Tepig back into his Poké Ball again. After Watchog and Oshawott knocked each other out, Tepig battled Herdier again and won because of his faster, stronger attacks and his newly-learned Flame Charge attack.

Tepig was Ash's first Pokémon for his [[Castelia Gym]] battle in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. He was sent out to battle [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Dwebble}}. First, he tried using Tackle on Dwebble, which was dodged easily, and then a second Tackle was dodged by Dig, which hit Tepig. Dwebble then used {{m|X-Scissor}}, which was very agile and hit Tepig. Burgh then explained that the rock that Dwebble had on its back was lighter than normal, making it faster and more agile than normal Dewbble. Tepig used Ember, which was blocked by {{m|Protect}}. Afterward, he was hit by X-Scissor again. Tepig was able to hit Dwebble with Tackle and then went for a Flame Charge, which was blocked by Protect. This lured Tepig up close and he was then knocked out by a super-effective close-range {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.

In ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', Tepig was later used to battle Trip's {{p|Vanillite}}. Tepig defended himself from Vanillite's {{type|Ice}} attacks with Flame Charge but could not keep up with some of its faster moves and despite the type advantage, the match ended in a tie.

In ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'', Tepig was used to battle {{AP|Roggenrola}} after Oshawott was defeated, only to be defeated himself. He later helped Ash rescue all of the Roggenrola from the [[Team Rocket trio]]. He later had a rematch with Roggenrola and after a fierce battle, he weakened it enough for Ash to catch it.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Tepig was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Roggenrola using {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. In the process, his Ember attack became Flamethrower.
[[File:Pignite and Shamus.png|thumb|left|250px|With Shamus, upon evolution]]
In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', Tepig teamed up with [[Cilan's Pansage]] when his Trainer Ash and {{an|Cilan}} battled {{tc|Subway Boss}}es [[Ingo]] and [[Emmet]]. Battling their {{p|Eelektross}} and {{p|Chandelure}}, Tepig and Pansage battled well but were eventually defeated.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', while eating with the other Pokémon in the Battle Club, Tepig recognized his previous Trainer, Shamus. Upon seeing him, Tepig happily ran over to Shamus, believing that he would be happy to see him. However, when Shamus threw Tepig at Ash and called him a useless Pokémon, he was very disheartened. Being angered by Shamus's actions, Ash accepted Shamus's challenge of a [[Double Battle]], pitting Tepig against his former Trainer's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night Tepig sat alone outside the Battle Club and got very upset while recounting his abandonment. Snivy slapped him with {{m|Vine Whip}} and talked sense into him, as they were preparing for the battle in the morning. Despite Snivy's encouragement, when faced with battling his estranged Trainer, he froze up and was unable to launch any attacks. Though Tepig had thought that abandoning him was a very hard thing for Shamus to do, he was crushed when Shamus revealed he was relieved to get rid of him. However, after watching his friend Snivy take two powerful hits when she was distracted with encouraging him further, Tepig finally hit both of his opponents with a powerful Flame Charge. However, Emboar and Heatmor were able to take the attack and on Shamus's command launched a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination move. Making no attempt to dodge, Tepig was pushed out of the way of the attack by his partner Snivy, who took major damage and was knocked out. Tepig became as motivated as his Trainer and Snivy continued to show faith in him, as he [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Pignite}}. With his new power, Pignite used Fire Pledge, impressing both his former and current Trainer and dealing major damage to Emboar and Heatmor. With a final Flame Charge attack, Pignite was able to knock out both of his opponents. After the battle, Shamus talked to Pignite, saying he was impressed with his new power, and asked him to rejoin the team, but Pignite refused, scorching his previous Trainer's face with a Flamethrower and sending him running away in anger.

In ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', Pignite battled [[Brycen]]'s {{p|Cryogonal}}. The match started with Pignite's Flame Charge being blocked by {{m|Reflect}} and his Flamethrower being deflected by {{m|Rapid Spin}} dealing damage to Pignite as well, making Pignite unable to hit the speedy Cryogonal. After enduring Cryogonal's {{m|Frost Breath}}, Pignite was able to land a direct hit with Fire Pledge, hitting Cryogonal's Rapid Spin in the center and knocking it out. Pignite next went up against Brycen's {{p|Beartic}} where his Flame Charge was stopped by Beartic's {{m|Brine}} attack, which was super effective. Pignite then took out a powerful {{m|Icicle Crash}} attack and then an unavoidable Aerial Ace attack, the latter of which was also super effective.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash sent out his Pignite as his fourth Pokémon during his Gym battle with [[Roxie]], facing her {{p|Scolipede}}. Despite her part {{type|Bug}} Pokémon being at a type disadvantage against Fire types, Roxie stood calm. Pignite started by trying a Flame Charge, which was blocked by Scolipede's {{m|Screech}}. The Megapede Pokémon next attacked with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which was also blocked by Pignite's Flamethrower, causing a big explosion and a cloud of smoke. Using the smoke to his advantage, Ash had Pignite use another Flame Charge, hitting Scolipede and dealing a lot of damage. As Pignite tried to finish the match with another Flamethrower, Scolipede dodged and used {{m|Toxic}} on Pignite, {{status|poison|badly poisoning}} him. However, Pignite was able to go on and unleash a Fire Pledge on Scolipede, defeating it. Roxie then gave Pignite a [[Pecha Berry]], curing him of the poison before sending out her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. The Trash Heap Pokémon was able to use its extendable arms to dodge Pignite's Flame Charge before hitting the Fire Pig Pokémon with {{m|Double Slap}} and doing the same again to dodge a Flamethrower. Pignite then used Tackle on Garbodor's arm, causing it to fall over. Pignite was about to use Fire Pledge, but Garbodor extended its arm under his hand, preventing him from using the move, grabbing him, and tossing him to the floor. After getting hit by a few Double Slaps, Pignite was finally able to unleash his Fire Pledge attack, but Garbodor countered with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which went right through Fire Pledge and hit Pignite, knocking him out.
[[File:Trip Serperior Dragon Tail.png|thumb|250px|Pignite facing off against Trip's Serperior]]
In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Pignite battled [[Trip's Serperior]] in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] finals. Pignite battled hard, had a type advantage, and managed to dodge many of his opponent's attacks, as well as using Flame Charge several times to boost his speed. Regardless, Serperior remained too fast for the Fire Pig Pokémon and dodged every single one of his own attacks. After taking a direct hit from {{m|Solar Beam}}, he finally tired out and was finished off with a powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attack.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Pignite was the third Pokémon Ash used in his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{un|Cameron}}, sending him out against his {{p|Hydreigon}} which had already defeated Boldore and Oshawott. Pignite started the battle with his new Brick Break attack, which was super effective against the {{t|Dark}}/{{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Hydreigon countered by attacking with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, which scored a direct hit. After narrowly dodging Pignite's Flamethrower, the Brutal Pokémon scored a pair of powerful hits with a {{m|Tri Attack}} and a {{m|Dragon Rush}}. Despite of this, Pignite was still able to fight back, and served his own pair of powerful strikes with Brick Break and Flame Charge, before dodging Hydreigon's {{m|Double Hit}}-counterattack. Next Pignite used Fire Pledge, forcing Hydreigon to take flight in order to avoid it, allowing him to land a direct hit on it with a Flamethrower. Ash then commanded Pignite to serve the finishing blow on his weakened opponent with Brick Break. Although Hydreigon tried to counter with a Double Hit, Pignite easily avoided it and served the super effective strike on the Brutal Pokémon, finishing it off. Cameron's next Pokémon was {{p|Ferrothorn}}. After avoiding Ferrothorn's {{m|Metal Claw}}, Pignite was hit by a {{m|Pin Missile}}. Despite the fact that Pignite was starting to get weak, he was still able to fire a super effective Flamethrower on the {{t|Grass}} and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. Although Ferrothorn tried to attack back with {{m|Mirror Shot}}, Pignite was easily able to dodge it and strike with Flame Charge, finishing the Thorn Pod Pokémon. Cameron then sent out his third Pokémon, {{p|Samurott}}. Pignite stood no chance against the Formidable Pokémon, which first countered the Fire Pig Pokémon's Flamethrower with a super effective {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and then knocked him out with an equally powerful {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

He was sent out to battle [[Barret]]'s {{p|Magnezone}} in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Despite having the type advantage, Pignite was soon defeated by a {{m|Magnet Bomb}} attack that also rebounded Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} attack at him. It was soon discovered in [[BW119|the next episode]] that one of Pansage's Bullet Seed pellets had been lodged up his nose as a result and was preventing him from using his Flamethrower attack. After Ash had {{AP|Charizard}} throw Pignite around to shake it out, to no avail, Iris tickled Pignite's nose with some grass and he sneezed it out.

Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pignite was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and {{an|N}} dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Pignite became very concerned for Charizard who had endured several Shadow Ball attacks and came to its rescue by stopping the {{p|Liepard}}'s attacks with Flamethrower. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Pignite was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.

=====Decolore Islands=====

In ''[[BW129|The Pirates of Decolore!]]'', Pignite accompanied the gang to the hideout of a quartet of pirate Pokémon. When the quartet revealed that they were all abandoned by their former Trainers, Pignite attempted to sympathize with them, recalling his troubled past with Shamus. Pignite later joined Snivy in a tag battle against pirates {{p|Croconaw}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, of which the former team won.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', he participated in the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] of [[Harvest Island]]'s [[Grand Harvest Festival]]. Pignite managed to get to the finals by beating a {{p|Watchog}} rather easily with a push, a {{p|Slaking}}; winning by default as the Lazy Pokémon was sleeping, and a {{p|Rhyperior}}. He and Ash then faced [[Rodney]] and his {{p|Golurk}}. He defeated the Golurk when it lunged itself towards Pignite, giving him the power to throw the Automaton Pokémon over his head and out of the ring, winning the tournament and a year's supply of fruit as a prize as well as a [[Focus Band]], which Ash proudly gave Pignite to wear.

Pignite was reunited with the entire Unova team at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Pignite later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, he was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Pignite reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Some time before, Pignite had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.

Pignite, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in [[JN114]]. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later 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.

In [[JN118]], Pignite was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Pignite and Oshawott.png|thumb|left|250px|Pignite's rivalry with Oshawott]]
As a Tepig, Pignite showed signs of low self-esteem, stemming from his countless losses under [[Shamus]]'s command, and due to Shamus's comments about him being unfit for battling. This trait continued well into {{Ash}}'s ownership, with Tepig often becoming depressed whenever he lost or even tied in a serious battle, in spite of Ash's attempts to cheer him up.

[[Lenora]] remarked that Tepig would constantly push himself past his own limits to please Ash, wanting to prove his worth to his new Trainer at all costs to the point of exhausting himself in the process. This came from Tepig's fear that Ash would abandon him if he didn't live up to his expectations.
[[File:Ash and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Pignite and Ash]]
Ultimately, Tepig's fears were finally extinguished after evolving and confronting his former Trainer with Ash's steadfast support. Having successfully overcame his past, his attitude changed significantly as a Pignite, becoming far more relaxed and easygoing. Even after suffering losses, Pignite no longer became depressed and took his losses in stride. Pignite's self-confidence also improved, to the point of being quite proud of his own power and getting annoyed whenever his abilities were either doubted or insulted.

During the period that [[Ash's Charizard]] was with Ash in Unova, Pignite appeared to look up to the experienced Pokémon. When Charizard was taking attacks from Pokémon controlled by Team Plasma, Pignite showed concern and came to help in the battle. Before that, Charizard tried to help Pignite during ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', when his blocked nose was preventing him from using {{m|Flamethrower}}. Since being left at Professors Oak's lab, Pignite became friends with Ash's Fire types and would often hang out with them. Pignite also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.

Ash sent out his Tepig against [[Leeku]]'s {{p|Samurott}} in ''{{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom}}''. Tepig was having trouble handling Samurott as Samurott had both the advantage in being fully evolved and type. However, with {{mov|Victini|Victini|14}} powering him up, Tepig defeated Samurott. As Tepig evolved into Pignite in the main series anime, he reappeared as Pignite in ''{{ma|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice}}''. He also reappeared in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}.''
