<i>Ash has opted to battle Articuno with Charizard in his Battle Factory match. Now he's busy training with Charizard, who has gotten even stronger during its time in the Charicific Valley. Team Rocket, secretly watching from the roof of the Battle Factory, are hopeful they can snatch the impressive Pokémon for themselves. But when the battle gets underway, the roof of the Battle Factory opens and they fall into the main chamber where everyone can see them.<br />
<br />
Articuno and Charizard waste no time in clearing out the intruders before Noland and Ash get down to business. This Articuno is tough and knows a Water-type attack, so Charizard is in for a rough time. The two Pokémon wage a fast-paced flying battle that looks like it might end in Noland's favor as Articuno ices up Charizard's wing. Good thing for Ash that Charizard has a new trick in store: Overheat!<br />
<br />
Articuno also packs a powerful Steel Wing, but Charizard grabs it mid-attack and turns the move into a Seismic Toss. Articuno tries to get back up and battle, to no avail. Ash is awarded the Knowledge Symbol along with a Frontier Folio to hold his Battle Frontier Symbols, and Noland congratulates him on a battle well-fought. Next stop, the Battle Arena!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are on their way through the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in [[Kanto]], and are currently at the first challenge, the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}} run by [[Factory Head Noland]]. A recap of [[AG135|the events of last episode]], including the meeting of {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} and {{AP|Charizard}}, is shown.<br />
<br />
We open up at sunset, and see Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} riding Charizard. Ash wants to see how much stronger Charizard has become, and tells Charizard to go from a steep dive into a steep climb, which Charizard does with ease. "That was great!" Ash exclaims. "I see you've been training," he teases. Charizard roars affirmatively. Ash now wants to see some of Charizard's attacks. He asks for {{m|Flamethrower}}, and Charizard breathes a large, far-reaching flame in the sky, far more powerful than in [[EP271|his last match]] against [[Harrison's Blaziken]].<br />
<br />
"Woah!" Max exclaims. "Look at that!" "It's amazing," May agrees. "Charizard's even more powerful than in the [[Johto League]]!" Max says. Brock explains that it's because Charizard keeps going up against all the other {{p|Charizard}} in the [[Charicific Valley]]. May doesn't understand why Ash [[EP134|left it there]] when they could have trained together. Brock tells May and Max how Ash thought that leaving it behind to train with the other Charizard would be the best thing for it. May thinks that's pretty cool and of how happy Ash and Charizard must be to be together again. <br />
<br />
It cuts back to Ash, Pikachu, and Charizard as Ash orders a {{m|Dragon Breath}}. A dazzling burst of yellow-green flame erupts from Charizard's mouth, neatly blasting a hole through a cloud. Ash is impressed by Charizard's power and notes how much stronger it has become since the last time they met. He calls for some high-altitude flying, and Charizard shoots straight up, stunning May and Max with its {{stat|Speed}}. <br />
<br />
{{TRT}} appears, watching Charizard through the binoculars. [[James]] claims that he can still feel the scorch marks from the last time they battled. {{MTR}} says that it should be an incredible match, "fighting fire with real fire" as he puts it. He thinks they should have lunch and watch the {{pkmn|battle}} while eating James's egg salad, but [[Jessie]] says no, and lays out her plan. They'll wait until Charizard tires out Articuno, and then they'll swipe the [[legendary Pokémon]] for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. Meowth wants to know what they'll do if Charizard gets beaten, and Jessie says they'll just take Charizard instead. <br />
<br />
Ash, May, Brock, Max, and [[Scott]] are led into the Battle Factory's arena by [[Sergio]], Nolan's top assistant and the designated official of this match. Ash thinks that the arena is great, and can hardly wait for the battle to begin. Noland enters and tells Ash that it's been a while since he's had a top-notch opponent, and he hopes Ash knows that he won't hold back. Ash says that he was counting on it, and Noland calls in Articuno, while Ash sends out Charizard. Max says he's never seen a Pokémon as great as Articuno, and May thinks that it's really beautiful. Scott suggests that they all go up to the stands. <br />
<br />
It cuts to Team Rocket standing on the roof of the Battle Factory. James wants to know why they are this high up, and Meowth explains that they'll cut a hole in the roof, and when Articuno flies up high enough, they'll grab it and head off to the Boss. They begin to cut a hole in the roof with welding torches.<br />
<br />
Back inside the Battle Factory, Max says that this will be an awesome match-up, while Brock remarks about how he's never seen an Articuno battle before. May starts cheering for Ash, but suddenly the roof begins to open up. Scott explains that it was designed to do that so that {{type|Flying}} Pokémon would be able to use their full potential. Cut back to a startled Team Rocket, who fall off the roof and into the arena. They say their {{motto}} and try to grab Articuno while it's still at full strength. Articuno uses {{m|Ice Beam}} and freezes them, then Ash uses Charizard's Flamethrower and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send them blasting off.<br />
<br />
The match finally begins, and both Charizard and Articuno fly up into the air. Charizard uses Flamethrower. Articuno counters with Ice Beam, and the two attacks meet. Flamethrower burns right through Ice Beam, striking Articuno for a direct hit, and sending it crashing into the ground. Ash is exultant that Charizard can stand up to Articuno, but it flies straight back into the air, not looking any worse for wear. Ash calls for another Flamethrower, but Articuno uses its speed to evade the attack and fly right past the {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Noland tells Articuno to spin in a steep dive and Ash tells Charizard to fly right for it. Articuno uses {{m|Mist}}, and Charizard can't see. It hovers in midair until Articuno flies right into it, sending Charizard to the ground. Cut to the spectators and Brock comments how Mist is usually used for defense, or even to help the Pokémon using it escape, but he's never seen it used like that before. <br />
<br />
Charizard stands up, shaking its head. It looks up just in time to see Articuno fly straight for it out of the Mist cloud. Ash calls for Dragon Breath, and though Articuno dodges twice, it is hit on the third try. Noland calls for Ice Beam, and it strikes Charizard on the wing. Ash calls for Flamethrower, which Articuno dodges and hits Charizard with a {{m|Steel Wing}}. Charizard falls from a huge height and crashes into the earth again. <br />
<br />
Charizard stands up, growling. It looks battered, but Articuno is still unmarked. Articuno hits Charizard with a {{m|Water Pulse}}, sending Charizard into the wall. Ash calls for Charizard to get up, but it hunches its neck. Ash is getting really nervous, and thinks he may have only one chance left.<br />
<br />
It cuts to last night, when Ash was seeing what Charizard could do. Ash, riding his Pokémon, says "Well, that's it for attacks!" right before Charizard begins glowing red. Charizard looks back at Ash and smiles with satisfaction. Ash is stunned and says "Have you learned that attack all by yourself?" Charizard glows even more brightly, and a huge ball of red energy envelops them as the flashback fades. <br />
<br />
However, Ash decides that it's still too soon to use that attack. Articuno uses Ice Beam, striking Charizard's wingtip, freezing it. Charizard falls from the air and spins along the ground as Articuno uses Water Pulse on the ice that hit the ground. The ice shatters, and flies towards Charizard, who shields himself with a wing, but a big piece knocks him off balance. Ash tells Charizard to climb in the hope that he will be able to avoid another combination attack. May notices that something is wrong with Charizard, it's flying much too slowly. Brock sees that the wingtip is still frozen. Scott realizes that the reason Noland kept getting Articuno to use Ice Beam was because even though it wasn't very effective, he knew that eventually it would freeze part of Charizard. Noland tells Articuno to use another combination of Ice Beam and Water Pulse, and Ash gets Charizard to use Flamethrower on the ice shards, but some get past the attack and strike Charizard. Noland tells Articuno to finish the battle by getting above Charizard. Ash realizes it's time to use that attack Charizard learned all on its own. He tells Charizard to get above Articuno, and use {{m|Overheat}}! Charizard glows bright red, and the ice on the wing melts. Noland and Articuno are both stunned. So are May and Max. May didn't realize that Charizard could know that move, and Max remembers that it was never used in the Johto League. <br />
<br />
Both Pokémon zoom higher and higher into the air. Ash orders Overheat, and a blast of white flame is sent at Articuno. The legendary bird counters with {{m|Water Pulse}}, which results in an explosion when the two attacks meet. Light fills the stadium, and when it fades, and huge cloud of smoke hides the Pokémon from each other. Noland orders a {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno bursts from the smoke and scores a direct hit. Charizard looks tired and very battered, while Articuno is still as strong as ever. Brock realizes that Charizard won't be able to withstand another direct hit by any attack. Ash knows that he can't use Overheat anymore - it won't be as effective. He realizes that there is only one chance left to win the battle. <br />
<br />
Noland tells Ash he has battled bravely, but it's time to end the battle. He orders another Steel Wing. Charizard stays unmoving in midair, as May, Brock, Scott, and Max watch in anxiety. Right before Articuno can strike, Ash orders Charizard to grab it. Charizard grabs the glowing wings with its claws, taking both Noland and Articuno by surprise. Ash directs Charizard to perform a {{m|Seismic Toss}}! Charizard brings Articuno in close, and spins downward, faster than ever before. They collide with the ground, raising a large cloud of dust. When it finally clears, Charizard is seen stretched out on the ground, seemingly unable to move, oddly reminiscent of Ash's final match in the Johto League Championships. Articuno struggles to its feet. The official begins to call the battle, but Noland tells him to wait until the battle is over for sure, right as Articuno [[fainting|collapses]]. Then Charizard manages to struggle to its feet. With Articuno fainted, Charizard has won, defeating a legendary Pokémon, and giving Ash his first [[Symbol|Battle Frontier Symbol]] in the process.<br />
<br />
Ash and friends say goodbye to Noland, Scott, Sergio, and Articuno and leave the Battle Factory. Ash says goodbye once again to Charizard as it heads back to the Charicific Valley, and the group sets off for the next Battle Frontier challenge.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This episode marks the first time that a [[legendary Pokémon]] has been defeated in a one-on-one battle with a non-legendary Pokémon.<br />
* This is the only [[Frontier Brain]] challenge that is dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]].<br />
* This episode's title is based on the phrase "{{wp|Simple living|the simple life}}."<br />
* This is the last episode in which [[Greg Abbey]] plays [[Scott]].<br />
* Music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' plays while Charizard is using Seismic Toss on Articuno.<br />
* Articuno's eyes did not turn to swirls when it was knocked out like with most Pokémon, they merely stayed closed when it collapsed.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:AG136 error.png|thumb|225px|right|Three-winged Charizard error]]<br />
* Before the battle begins in the dub, Scott says that he will finally see Ash battle, but he was the referee of Ash's battle against [[Agatha]] just [[AG132|a few episodes ago]].<br />
* In the dub, when Charizard is first hit by Ice Beam, Max states that the move should have no effect on Charizard since it is a {{t|Fire}} type. This is untrue because {{type|Ice}} attacks on Fire-type Pokémon are [[damage modification#type effectiveness|not very effective]], not ineffective. Furthermore, since Charizard's secondary type is {{t|Flying}}, Ice Beam should do normal damage.<br />
* In the dub, Scott says, "{{m|Overheat}} attacks lose their effectiveness and cause less damage each time they're used." While partially true, it implies that only the move itself loses power instead of its actual effect, which lowers the Pokémon's {{stat|Special Attack}} and thus the effectiveness of all [[Special move]]s.<br />
** However, this error has been present since the first time Overheat was used in Ash's Gym Battle with Flannery in Lavaridge Town.<br />
* When Articuno hits Charizard's wingtip with Ice Beam, three frames show Charizard with two left wings, one frozen and one not.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====<br />
* Question: Trainers, Which of these Pokémon has only one evolution?<br />
* Choices: {{p|Whismur}}, {{p|Spoink}}, {{p|Beldum}}<br />
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Spoink}}, you were right!<br />

Scott realizes that the reason Noland kept getting Articuno to use Ice Beam was because even though it wasn't very effective, he knew that eventually it would freeze part of Charizard. Noland tells Articuno to use another combination of Ice Beam and Water Pulse, and Ash gets Charizard to use Flamethrower on the ice shards, but some get past the attack and strike Charizard. Noland tells Articuno to finish the battle by getting above Charizard. Ash realizes it's time to use that attack Charizard learned all on its own. He tells Charizard to get above Articuno, and use {{m|Overheat}}! Charizard glows bright red, and the ice on the wing melts. Noland and Articuno are both stunned. So are May and Max. May didn't realize that Charizard could know that move, and Max remembers that it was never used in the Johto League. <br />
<br />
Both Pokémon zoom higher and higher into the air. Ash orders Overheat, and a blast of white flame is sent at Articuno. The legendary bird counters with {{m|Water Pulse}}, which results in an explosion when the two attacks meet. Light fills the stadium, and when it fades, and huge cloud of smoke hides the Pokémon from each other. Noland orders a {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno bursts from the smoke and scores a direct hit. Charizard looks tired and very battered, while Articuno is still as strong as ever. Brock realizes that Charizard won't be able to withstand another direct hit by any attack. Ash knows that he can't use Overheat anymore - it won't be as effective. He realizes that there is only one chance left to win the battle. <br />
<br />
Noland tells Ash he has battled bravely, but it's time to end the battle. He orders another Steel Wing. Charizard stays unmoving in midair, as May, Brock, Scott, and Max watch in anxiety. Right before Articuno can strike, Ash orders Charizard to grab it. Charizard grabs the glowing wings with its claws, taking both Noland and Articuno by surprise. Ash directs Charizard to perform a {{m|Seismic Toss}}! Charizard brings Articuno in close, and spins downward, faster than ever before. They collide with the ground, raising a large cloud of dust. When it finally clears, Charizard is seen stretched out on the ground, seemingly unable to move, oddly reminiscent of Ash's final match in the Johto League Championships. Articuno struggles to its feet. The official begins to call the battle, but Noland tells him to wait until the battle is over for sure, right as Articuno [[fainting|collapses]]. Then Charizard manages to struggle to its feet. With Articuno fainted, Charizard has won, defeating a legendary Pokémon, and giving Ash his first [[Symbol|Battle Frontier Symbol]] in the process.<br />
<br />
Ash and friends say goodbye to Noland, Scott, Sergio, and Articuno and leave the Battle Factory. Ash says goodbye once again to Charizard as it heads back to the Charicific Valley, and the group sets off for the next Battle Frontier challenge.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This episode marks the first time that a [[legendary Pokémon]] has been defeated in a one-on-one battle with a non-legendary Pokémon.<br />
* This is the only [[Frontier Brain]] challenge that is dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]].<br />
* This episode's title is based on the phrase "{{wp|Simple living|the simple life}}."<br />
* This is the last episode in which [[Greg Abbey]] plays [[Scott]].<br />
* Music from ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' plays while Charizard is using Seismic Toss on Articuno.<br />
* Articuno's eyes did not turn to swirls when it was knocked out like with most Pokémon, they merely stayed closed when it collapsed.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:AG136 error.png|thumb|225px|right|Three-winged Charizard error]]<br />
* Before the battle begins in the dub, Scott says that he will finally see Ash battle, but he was the referee of Ash's battle against [[Agatha]] just [[AG132|a few episodes ago]].<br />
* In the dub, when Charizard is first hit by Ice Beam, Max states that the move should have no effect on Charizard since it is a {{t|Fire}} type. This is untrue because {{type|Ice}} attacks on Fire-type Pokémon are [[damage modification#type effectiveness|not very effective]], not ineffective. Furthermore, since Charizard's secondary type is {{t|Flying}}, Ice Beam should do normal damage.<br />
* In the dub, Scott says, "{{m|Overheat}} attacks lose their effectiveness and cause less damage each time they're used." While partially true, it implies that only the move itself loses power instead of its actual effect, which lowers the Pokémon's {{stat|Special Attack}} and thus the effectiveness of all [[Special move]]s.<br />
** However, this error has been present since the first time Overheat was used in Ash's Gym Battle with Flannery in Lavaridge Town.<br />
* When Articuno hits Charizard's wingtip with Ice Beam, three frames show Charizard with two left wings, one frozen and one not.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====<br />
* Question: Trainers, Which of these Pokémon has only one evolution?<br />
* Choices: {{p|Whismur}}, {{p|Spoink}}, {{p|Beldum}}<br />
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Spoink}}, you were right!<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-8/episode-42-08_42-numero-uno-articuno/--><br />
<i>The Battle Factory is Ash's next destination—if he can find it, that is. He and his friends have become lost, but they see snow and an Articuno flying overhead, followed by a plane in distress. The group winds up at a Pokémon Center, where Scott gives them a ride to the Battle Factory. There they meet Noland, who's not just the Factory Head but also a bit of a mechanical mastermind, and the pilot of the plane they saw last night.<br />
<br />
Ash can pick which of Noland's Pokémon he wants to battle. Noland has befriended an Articuno whom he helped once, and he takes Max and Pikachu up in his plane to fly with the Legendary Pokémon. Team Rocket wants Articuno for themselves, and they show up in their own plane to steal it. It's no match for Articuno, who quickly sends them on their way.<br />
<br />
Impressed, Ash decides he wants to battle Articuno. What's more, he wants to battle it with Charizard! It looks like this is shaping up to be quite a match...</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}. It's nearing sunset, and they aren't sure exactly where they are. When {{an|Brock}} comments that he thinks they're lost, [[Max]] assures him that they're almost there.<br />
<br />
Several hours later, they're still not there. The sun has set, the full moon is visible above the trees, and after Max's apology, they start preparing to set up camp for the night. Then, while they take a few minutes to admire the moon, a bit of snow blows by (even though it's a warm night), and they see something fly overhead. After a few brief glimpses, they finally see it clearly enough to identify: it's an {{p|Articuno}}.<br />
<br />
Articuno is soon joined in flight by a small biplane. There is an apparent mechanical malfunction, the plane emits a large cloud of smoke, and when things have cleared up, neither the plane nor Articuno is visible.<br />
<br />
{{TRT}}, who have also set up camp for the night not far away, also saw it. {{MTR}} suggests trying to capture it, with the usual bizarre vision of what the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} would do with it. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are excited, until James points out that Articuno is, after all, an extremely powerful [[legendary Pokémon]], and asks Jessie and Meowth if they really think they can capture it. They don't. He goes on to ask if any of their sneaky plans have ever worked out right. They haven't. He proclaims that they should go ahead and straightforwardly take {{AP|Pikachu}} and the Pokémon from the Battle Factory.<br />
<br />
Ash and friends have been walking around trying to find Articuno again. They don't find it, but they do find a [[Pokémon Center]]. They spend the night there, and the local [[Nurse Joy]] promises to give them directions to the Battle Factory in the morning.<br />
<br />
Morning comes, and Joy is about to give them the directions, when she is interrupted by someone telling her not to bother. It's [[Scott]], and he offers to take them to the Battle Factory himself. It turns out that Scott is every bit as insane a driver as [[Professor Birch]], and he takes a shortcut. Fortunately, everyone survives the trip.<br />
<br />
They are about to enter the Battle Factory when they hear the noise of an engine. A large vehicle smashes through the doors of the Factory and nearly runs the group down. When a voice from inside the vehicle makes it clear that the thing is out of control, Ash, {{an|May}}, and Brock use their Pokémon to stop it. A hatch opens on top of the vehicle, and a man climbs out, complaining about how it doesn't listen to a thing he says. He thanks them for their help, and Scott addresses him as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}. Noland goes on to introduce the vehicle as the Noland J-9, his latest and greatest super-machine. He is interrupted by an assistant, who runs out and, rather exasperated, asks Noland if he's been playing around with that thing again. Noland replies that he isn't playing, it's his hobby. The assistant asks what the difference is, and Noland doesn't have an answer. Noland introduces the assistant as [[Sergio]], his number one apprentice. Scott asks Noland to introduce himself. He introduces himself as Factory Head Noland, and Scott explains to Ash that that means he's the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Factory. Ash introduces himself and says he's there to challenge Noland.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket is watching from a nearby tree. Realizing Noland's affinity for machines, they decide to steal some mecha parts in addition to the Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Sergio calls out that it's [[Pokéblock]] time, and about a dozen powerful-looking Pokémon come running. May's Munchlax comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] to join them in the meal. May is about to call it back, but Sergio assures her that there is plenty of Pokéblock for everyone. Ash asks Noland if all these Pokémon are his. Noland says yes, and that more Pokémon give more possibilities for battles. He asks Ash which ones he wants to battle, and says Ash can pick as many as he wants. Ash has trouble deciding. Does he want to face Venusaur, the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}? Rhyhorn, for a test of power? Machamp, with its {{type|Fighting}} moves? While he's considering the options, Munchlax grabs one of the bowls of Pokéblock, and runs off into a nearby building. May and Max give chase.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket is watching from on top of a building. They're impressed by the apparent strength of the Pokémon, and plan to take them all. James is a bit worried about whether they'll be able to get so many, but Meowth says to just leave it to him.<br />
<br />
May and Max enter the building Munchlax went into. It's dark inside, and they can't see clearly, but it doesn't take long to spot Munchlax standing on a crate, eating Pokéblock in private, to May's curiosity. Then Max notices something else: the airplane they saw the previous night. And then, a cold breeze starts blowing, apparently coming from Munchlax. May wonders if it's learned an {{type|Ice}} move, but Max says it isn't {{m|Blizzard}} or {{m|Icy Wind}}. The truth is revealed moments later, as Articuno arises from behind Munchlax, then flies out of the building.<br />
<br />
When everyone is back together, Noland explains that he'd been doing a little "night cruising" with Articuno the previous night. Max comments on how impressive it is that Noland caught such a powerful Pokémon, but Noland says it's a wild Pokémon. He goes on to explain:<br />
<br />
One night, while he was test-flying his plane, he was quite startled to find Articuno flying alongside him. Then Articuno started having trouble flying. Noland figures that it injured its wing during one of its flights from mountaintop to mountaintop. He got it to land on top of his plane, brought it down, and helped it heal. Since then, it has come to visit him with some regularity.<br />
<br />
Max says he wants to fly with Articuno, and Noland offers to take him up in the plane. Max invites Pikachu along, and they take to the air. Before long, Noland and Articuno are competing at fancy flying. May, Brock, and Scott, watching from the ground, are so enthralled that they don't even notice Ash is gone until he gets back. Brock asks where he was, and Ash says he was just making a quick phone call. Just then, Scott notices something else in the sky.<br />
<br />
It's Team Rocket in a new mecha, making a very rapid descent to land near them. After the motto, Ash asks what they're there for. They respond that they're there to take the Battle Factory's Pokémon, of course. Ash orders Pikachu to attack, then remembers that Pikachu is up in the plane with Max. He decides to use Grovyle instead, but before he can send it out, one of the mecha's many hands grabs the Poké Ball right out of his hand. The mecha then takes to the air, grabs about half of Noland's Pokémon (the other half run away), and is about to fly off when Noland rams it with his plane. The Pokémon are released, and the mecha comes crashing down. Noland makes known that he finds Team Rocket's mecha interesting before asking Articuno to get rid of them. It grabs the mecha in its claws, lifts it off the ground (at this point just about everyone comments on its strength), and throws it high into the air, where an {{m|Ice Beam}} finishes it off.<br />
<br />
That night, Noland asks Ash if he's decided which Pokémon he wants to battle, and he says yes. Max thinks he'll go for Venusaur, and May thinks Rhyhorn, but Ash says neither. He wants to go one-on-one against Articuno. This surprises everyone, except possibly Noland. He just turns to Articuno, asks if it agrees to this, and when its reply is affirmative, asks what Pokémon Ash will be using. Ash looks up towards the moon, and says "that one."<br />
<br />
Everyone looks, and they see something large and winged silhouetted against the moon... Ash's Charizard. The phone call he'd made earlier was to {{jo|Liza}} at the [[Charicific Valley|valley]] where Charizard was training. Charizard greets him with the usual {{m|Flamethrower}}. Noland says he's looking forward to tomorrow, and the episode ends with both Articuno and Charizard eying the competition.<br />

* After Meowth announces the name of Team Rocket's new Pokémon stealing machine, [[James]] states its acronym, GAGME. [[Jessie]] quickly notes that it spells "Gag me," in reference to the expression "Gag me with a spoon," which states a person's distaste with something said by another person.<br />

<i>Our hero is in the middle of the first match of the championship tournament at the Johto League Silver Conference. His opponent is his long time rival—Gary Oak. Each trainer is down one Pokémon, with five to go. Gary's Blastoise is very strong and knocks out Ash's Heracross. Ash isn't surprised—that Blastoise was the Squirtle that Gary got when he first started out as a trainer! Gary recalls Blastoise and the battle continues. Finally, each trainer is down to their last Pokémon. Gary has saved Blastoise till the end—and Ash calls out Charizard! Blastoise has the advantage because it's a Water Type, but Ash is very clever. He uses Charizard's Flame Thrower attack to scorch the battle field, trapping Blastoise. Blastoise uses Hydro Pump to cool off the field, but it backfires. The field becomes all steamy and no one can see. Charizard finishes off the battle with a Seismic Toss. Ash is thrilled to have finally defeated his rival—but does he have what it takes to continue? His next opponent will be Harrison from Hoenn.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
When last seen, {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} were in their six-on-six match on a rock field. The match is even, with Gary down {{p|Magmar}} and Ash down {{AP|Tauros}} (Gary also has his {{p|Nidoqueen}} in reserve). Gary's starter, {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} had launched a {{m|Hydro Pump}} to counter {{AP|Heracross}}' own {{m|Fury Swipes}}. However, despite a last-minute evasion tactic behind a rock, Hydro Pump manages to blast through the rock and Heracross hiding behind it, knocking the Pokémon out.<br />
<br />
Ash sends out {{AP|Muk}} to battle. Blastoise uses {{m|Skull Bash}}, but Muk isn't fazed by the attack. Muk uses a {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, but Blastoise uses {{m|Rapid Spin}} to deflect the shot. Continuing to spin, it tries to hit Muk, but Muk easily catches and smothers its opponent. Blastoise escapes the pin with a Hydro Pump, and Ash pulls Muk for {{AP|Bayleef}}, hoping that a Grass type will provide a good advantage over Blastoise. Bayleef evades the first Hydro Pump with {{m|Vine Whip}} jump, but her airborne {{m|Razor Leaf}} is deflected by Rapid Spin. Making matters worse, Bayleef's attempt to use {{m|Body Slam}} is met with a {{m|Bite}} attack from Blastoise. She gets tossed by her leaf, and is knocked out.<br />
<br />
Since Ash has now lost three Pokémon, the referee calls for a 5-minute intermission. During the break, {{AP|Pikachu}} wants in on the match against Blastoise, and is visibly upset when Ash explains that he can only use his six entrants that were arranged before the match. In the stands, {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} reminisce about the match bringing back memories from the boys' childhood growing up together. <br />
<br />
When the break ends, Ash sends out {{AP|Snorlax}}, while Gary resumes with {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}; Brock believing that he will save Blastoise for last. Arcanine uses {{m|Take Down}} to charge straight at Snorlax, who responds with {{m|Body Slam}}. Arcanine evades the attack, and traps Snorlax with {{m|Fire Spin}}, but Snorlax then blasts a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Arcanine. It is a direct hit, and although Arcanine tries to get up, the attack proves to be too much. Therefore, Arcanine is knocked out.<br />
<br />
Nidoqueen is sent back out. Ash warns Snorlax to be careful since Nidoqueen also knows Hyper Beam. Using its tail to jump (a tactic copied from Bayleef), Nidoqueen manages to land down on Snorlax and damage it with {{m|Double Kick}}. Nidoqueen then blasts a Hyper Beam, but Snorlax ducks the attack and counters back with an {{m|Ice Punch}}, taking Nidoqueen out of the match. Gary's {{p|Scizor}} is sent out against Snorlax, and after a series of {{m|Quick Attack}}s, Scizor defeats Snorlax with a {{m|Metal Claw}} to the face of a missed Hyper Beam. With Scizor playing a speed game, Brock notes that Ash had put his entries with power battling in mind, and his two remaining Pokémon will have trouble against Scizor. Sending Muk back out, Muk easily absorbs a Quick Attack, allowing to attack with Sludge Bomb which Scizor evades. Scizor uses Metal Claw again, which, though Muk absorbs it, it allows Scizor to lift and throw Muk into the air. One {{m|Swift}} later, and Muk is knocked out.<br />
<br />
Now down to one Pokémon against three (Scizor, Blastoise, and an unrevealed Pokémon), Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}}. Gary notes he figured that Ash would use his Charizard last. Scizor lunges toward Charizard with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Charizard attacks with {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Scizor jumps to avoid the attack, however Ash refuses to let it get away this time. Charizard then meets Scizor airborne much to Scizor and Gary's shock before Scizor is knocked out by a super-effective Flamethrower to the face. Gary, undaunted, sends out {{p|Golem}}. Brock and Misty note that Charizard will have a hard time against Golem (due to the double weakness to {{t|Rock}} types). Golem leads off with {{m|Magnitude}}, which manages to stun Charizard. Charizard attempts to {{m|Seismic Toss}} Golem, but it is too heavy (Professor Oak pointing out that Golem is second only to Snorlax in terms of mass). Golem lands back on its feet and attacks with {{m|Rollout}}, but Ash orders Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Rage}} which hits Golem and knocks it out of the match.<br />
<br />
Now Ash has pulled even with Gary - the match is down to Blastoise and Charizard.<br />
<br />
Charizard's opening Flamethrower is deflected by Rapid Spin, but isn't as lucky itself as it takes a Hydro Pump to the face. Taking to the skies, its airborne attack is repelled by a Skull Bash. As [[Macy]], [[Vincent|Jackson]], and {{jo|Harrison}} look on from the stands for Ash's next move, Ash decides to have Charizard make another aerial approach, evading Hydro Pumps along the way. However, Charizard cannot seem to find a desperately needed opening. Brock notes that Fire attacks aren't very effective against Water-types, but sometimes they work and that Charizard will need a close-range attack to have a good shot of knocking out Blastoise against the type advantage.<br />
<br />
Ash desperately looks for someway to take advantage, and he suddenly notices that - although Charizard's attacks have missed Blastoise - the fire that has hit the rocks have been left red hot and somewhat melted. Ash commands Charizard to burn the field instead of attacking Blastoise. Although he knows that Ash's specialty is thinking outside-the-box, Gary is still nevertheless puzzled by Ash's tactic. Blastoise is immobilized by the red-hot field, something that not even a type advantage could cover. Resorting to cool the field using Hydro Pump, Blastoise only succeeds in covering the field in steam. When the steam clears, Blastoise and Charizard have locked up in close-range combat - too close for Blastoise to aim its Hydro Pumps. Though Blastoise manages to duck out of a Dragon Rage, it allows Charizard to attempt a Seismic Toss. Blastoise tries to escape by biting Charizard's arm, but to no avail. The attack continues and once Charizard and Blastoise land on the ground, everyone begins to wonder who won. When the smoke clears, Blastoise is able to get up, as both Pokémon have a staring match. Blastoise soon however succumbs to the damage it took and faints. Ash, realizing that he just beat Gary, stands in awe, then jumps for joy and thanks Charizard for a spectacular battle. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, {{TRT}} has ended yet another day with a big profit. However, Jessie is preventing {{TR|Delibird}} from making off with its hard-earned gains. However, Meowth also notes that with the profits they have nearly wiped out all their outstanding Team Rocket debts. Jessie is first to plan on franchising their souvenir stand, which James and Meowth support.<br />
<br />
Later that night, Ash meets Gary privately by the lake. Gary gives Ash his half of the Poké Ball. Reflecting on the battle, Gary isn't ashamed that he had lost the battle - when he admittedly tied in the fishing contest, he had felt like a failure (hence taking it as a "loss"). But Ash won fair and square today. The two shake hands, and Gary promises to cheer for Ash is his next match.<br />
<br />
Next morning, Ash begins his second 6-on-6 battle on a grass field against his new friend Harrison, with Ash having first move. Leading off with Pikachu, Harrison responds with {{p|Kecleon}} - a Pokémon he is unfamiliar with. How will Ash fare against his new opponent?<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* An instrumental version of ''[[OK!]]'' is used in the background during the final battle, even in the dub.<br />
* When Charizard uses Seismic Toss on Blastoise, the globe appears as usual, but, whereas normally specific shapes on the globe can not be made out, {{wp|Asia}} and {{wp|Australia}} are [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|prominently seen]].<br />
* This episode marks the final appearance of [[Misty's Psyduck]] in the main series (although it would continue to appear in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]).<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 5: Blastoise'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* This is the only time that the move {{m|Magnitude}} was used in the anime, which is due to {{wp|2004 Chūetsu earthquake|an incident}} with [[AG101 (unaired)|a banned AG episode]] featuring the move {{m|Earthquake}}, which is highly similar to Magnitude.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
* When Charizard and Blastoise fight in hand-to-hand combat, Gary says Charizard is too close for Blastoise to aim "with its hydro cannons", referring to the cannons on its back with which it shoots its Hydro Pump attack. Coincidentally, [[Generation III]] would later introduce the attack {{m|Hydro Cannon}}.<br />
* Gary has Scizor dodge Muk's {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, even though a {{type|Poison}} move would have no effect on Scizor, a {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. <br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* After Gary sends out Arcanine, Snorlax's feet were the same color as its body.<br />
* After Gary sends out Nidoqueen, part of Snorlax's blue color goes into is chest area.<br />
* When Nidoqueen uses her tail to jump, her lower jaw is colored with the same blue as her skin. The same coloring error is made just before she launches her {{m|Hyper Beam}}.<br />
* {{an|Professor Oak}} says that {{p|Golem}} is the second heaviest Pokémon, and only Snorlax is heavier. This was true in [[Generation I]]; however, {{p|Steelix}}, introduced in [[Generation II]], is also heavier than Golem.<br />
* When Golem used Magnitude, it should not have affected Charizard as {{P|Charizard}} is a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Magnitude is a {{type|Ground}} move. However, this may have been due to the fact that Charizard was standing on the ground at the time.<br />
* During the climactic battle between [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Gary's Blastoise]], Blastoise's lower jaw is incorrectly colored blue instead of cream.<br />
** This also happens in the intro from the previous episode.<br />
* In the dub the announcer announces Harrison as being from {{jo|Silver Town}}, when he was introduced as being from [[Littleroot Town]] in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]''.<br />

<i>Having finally seen stability restored to the Blackthorn Gym, Ash and Clair face off in a gym battle. Ash opens with a surprise entry, his Snorlax, and defeats Clair's Kingdra to take victory in the first round. Clair quickly comes back, wearing Snorlax down with her Gyarados. Ash sends in Pikachu, hoping its advantage as an Electric Pokémon will be enough to defeat Clair's Water Pokémon. It isn't until he puts Pikachu's speed to use, however, that he emerges victorious. At two to one, Ash is only one win away from earning his final badge, but this last round—against Clair's Dragonair—promises to be the hardest one yet.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and [[Clair]] on separate sides of a huge lake with floating platforms spread around it which is going to be the battlefield for Ash and Clair. It is a three-on-three match. The battle then begins. Ash starts off with {{AP|Snorlax}} which is a big surprise for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}. Clair counters with {{p|Kingdra}}.<br />
<br />
Ash starts off with Snorlax’s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Clair counters with Kingdra’s {{m|Agility}}. Kingdra attacks Snorlax, but it doesn't work. Clair then uses Kingdra’s {{m|Swift}}, but that just bounces off again. Ash tries to use Snorlax’s {{m|Body Slam}}, but Kingdra dodges with Agility. Kingdra attacks Snorlax again, but again Snorlax is undamaged. Clair notes that these attacks aren't working, so she uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Ash tells Snorlax to dodge it but it is unable to dodge it. Clair orders another Hyper Beam which Snorlax avoided by going under water. Ash congratulates it on its quick thinking. Ash orders a {{m|Body Slam}} but as it goes underwater it weighs much less. Kingdra uses this to its advantage and avoids being crushed. She tells Kingdra to use Hydro Pump once Snorlax comes up for air. This worries Misty and Brock, but Ash tells Snorlax to jump out of the water. It goes up into the air and Kingdra uses Hydro Pump. Ash orders Snorlax to lean back and it manages to successfully dodge the attack. Clair then orders Kingdra to use Swift, but Ash tells Snorlax to just take it. Clair orders another Hydro Pump, but it only does a little bit of damage. Kingdra is also starting to look tired. Brock says that Ash’s plan must be to just wear Kingdra out, as Snorlax has a lot of endurance. Clair orders another Hyper Beam, but Snorlax dodges it once again by going underwater. Ash then orders Snorlax to use {{m|Ice Punch}} knocking Kingdra out of the match.<br />
<br />
Clair recalls Kingdra congratulating it for a job well done. She then sends out {{p|Gyarados}}. Snorlax seems to be a little tired after the match with Kingdra. Clair orders Gyarados to use Hydro Pump, while Snorlax uses Hyper Beam. Both attacks cancel each other out. Gyarados then uses {{m|DragonBreath}}, which hit Snorlax, paralyzing it. Clair then orders Gyarados to use Hyper Beam. Snorlax is slammed by the beam and it falls, fainted. Ash then chooses {{AP|Pikachu}}. <br />
<br />
Gyarados goes in to {{m|Bite}} Pikachu, but Pikachu uses Agility to get out of the way. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} but before he could attack, Gyarados uses DragonBreath, tiring Pikachu. Gyarados then tries to finish him off with a Hydro Pump, which misses Pikachu as he uses Agility to get out of the way. As Gyarados goes in for another Hydro Pump, Pikachu uses Agility to race up the Hydro Pump to get into point-blank-range of Gyarados' face. He then uses a Thunderbolt to knock Gyarados out.<br />
<br />
Clair then releases her strongest Pokémon: Dragonair. Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt, but Dragonair dives under the water. Clair orders a Hyper Beam, which zooms out of the water and smashes into Pikachu, taking him out. Ash then sends out {{AP|Charizard}} into battle. The roof of the stadium then opens so that the two Pokémon could have a sky high battle. <br />
<br />
Charizard goes in to attack Dragonair. Clair tells her to dive under the water. From under the water, Dragonair spins to create a massive twister, which bursts out of the water and smashes into Charizard. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on the lake, drying it entirely. Dragonair is now unable to dodge by diving in the water. Clair then orders Dragonair use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Charizard dodges and grabs Dragonair. Ash then orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Charizard starts to spin around the earth and is about to throw Dragonair when she uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Charizard is hit bad and it falls to the ground. But on Ash's encouragement Charizard gets up and flies toward Dragonair. Dragonair then tries to use another Iron Tail. Charizard grabs her again and uses Seismic Toss just as before. Dragonair once again uses Dragon Rage but Charizard uses Fire Spin while in the twister! As Charizard is holding on to Dragonair, she is unable to escape. It then uses a fiery Seismic Toss. Charizard flies from the flames, roaring with victory. Clair orders Dragonair to get up. She tries, but collapses again. Clair then pulls out the Rising Badge and hands it to Ash, who says his usual line and Pikachu jumps for joy.<br />
<br />
Back at the Dragon Cave, {{TRT}} enters slowly. They approach the Dragon Fang, but see {{jo|Liza}} and [[Charla]]. Charla goes in and sends them blasting off again. Liza then returns to the Gym to find that Ash has won the Rising Badge. Clair then explains that Ash should head to Mt. Silver, where he can prepare for the Johto League. Ash thanks her. He then looks at Charizard, who is by Charla. Ash walks up to it and tells it to be good for Liza. Liza is surprised, but Ash knows that is where Charizard belongs. Liza, Charla, and Charizard then take off. Ash waves goodbye to his old friend. Ash decides to stay in Blackthorn for one more day so Clair can explain about the {{pkmn|League}}.<br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* The English title of this episode is taken from the saying ''"Better late than never"''.<br />
* This is the only time so far that Ash has ever brought a Pokémon back from {{an|Professor Oak}}'s for a Gym battle.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
*Even though Clair is a Dragon-type trainer, she used a Gyarados which isn't a Dragon-type<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP254 error.png|thumb|right|200px|Dragonair's missing horn]]<br />
* In the end, when Clair says good-bye to Liza, she mispronounces her name as ''"Laiza"''.<br />
* Brock states that Gyarados is a dual {{2t|Water|Flying}} type, and Misty replies that Pikachu should "still" have an advantage over Gyarados because of his {{t|Electric}}ity; this implies that Electric attacks are powerful against Water Pokémon but weak against Flying Pokémon. In reality, Electric attacks are strong against both, giving Pikachu a double advantage.<br />
* Dragonair's horn is missing when she faints from battle.<br />
* After Snorlax uses Ice Punch, Brock states how Dragon Pokémon have trouble against Ice-type attacks, but because Kingdra is part Water-type it would affect it normally. The reverse happened in a previous episode when Pikachu used his Electric-type attacks against Kingdra.<br />
* In one scene, Togepi's right arm is colored the same as its body.<br />
* When Snorlax jumped out of the water, its feet were the same color as its body.<br />
* When Ash sends out Charizard, the original generic animation of him throwing a Poké Ball is shown, a throwback to the original series. Because of this, Ash's hat is on backwards when it shouldn't be.<br />
* In "Who's That Pokémon?" it says that Muk's footprints are poisonous, but Muk doesn't have a footprint.<br />
* When Ash tells Charizard to use Fire Spin while using Seismic Toss, Charizard rotates its head a full 360 degrees.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* It would seem that some of Charizard's Flamethrower attacks are dubbed as {{m|Fire Spin}}.<br />

<i>When Ash hears of the nearby Charicific Valley, he is sure a quick trip would be just the thing to reignite his Charizard's flagging spirits. When they reach the valley, though, they find its dragon denizens anything but cordial. Judged weak, and denied entrance to the valley, Charizard is left more dejected than ever.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} hike along the path, quickly feeling the onset of fatigue. {{TRT}} follows them, also feeling tired. Ash wishes for more [[Badge]]s, but {{an|Misty}} points out that he won't be able to win Badges just for beating Team Rocket only. [[Jessie]] suggests that they stop following Ash and his friends to find a new target, as [[James]] mentions how many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Ash's friends have compared to them. He especially mentions [[Ash's Charizard]], being notably powerful. As they walk, Ash mentions that with {{AP|Pikachu}} and Charizard on his side, he could beat any opponent, but his friends mention that he uses Charizard excessively, making it unfair for opponents. The group overhears a faint echo, so {{an|Brock}} decides to call out an echo. A woman calls over to them from atop a cliff. Brock is as usual attracted as she points out how the echoes allow a person to hear for miles. While she introduces herself as {{jo|Liza}}, Brock looks up the [[Charicific Valley]] in his guidebook. Liza knows that Ash has a {{p|Charizard}} by the scent on him and about his [[EP131|win]] in [[Violet City]], wanting to meet him and invite him to the Valley. Brock agrees, which gets Ash to go. <br />
<br />
Liza calls out "[[Charla]]" as a female Charizard arrives with a balloon attached to her tail. Liza hops onto Charla as she invites Misty and Brock to ride in the balloon. There isn't enough room for Ash, but Liza suggests for him to {{m|fly}} on his Charizard. Charla takes off as Ash asks how to ride, which stuns Liza that he never flew on Charizard. Ash summons his Charizard and requests a ride. Charizard refuses at first, but Liza's taunt motivates Charizard to try. Ash and Pikachu hop on Charizard as it stomps and flies off, but it accidentally leaves Ash and Pikachu behind. After getting them back on, Charizard flies with them onboard, but unsteadily, flapping its wings furiously. Meanwhile, Misty compliments Liza's Charla for flying smoothly, but Liza can't hear her too well, so they talk through a phone system. Liza mentions that the Charizard in the valley are wild, but Charla is a special one. When she mentions that the wild Charizard never see humans and that she protects them from poachers, Misty thinks Liza is taking them to jail as poachers, but Liza points out that she knows they care for Pokémon. Ash and Charizard catch up as Charla speeds forward. Charizard bolts forward, but Charizard suddenly stalls, plunging down, barely skirting the bottom of a river. They avoid crashing into trees before plummeting into the abyss. Meanwhile, Team Rocket slides down a mountain hill towards the valley.<br />
<br />
Charla skirts along the surface of a lake as they reach the Charicific Valley. She mentions its history and how the Charizard train naturally without humans by battling each other, the intense competition making them the strongest worldwide. Misty thinks that it would be too intense for Ash's, but Ash overhears the remark as Charizard arrives, except Charizard is no longer flying but is rather carrying Ash on his back and is left exhausted. Ash and Charizard try to prove their strength, but Charla and Liza note that only weak Charizard show off, suggesting that Ash's needs serious training. Charizard fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} to disprove, but it sets Ash on fire as he runs down the stairs and plunges into the lake. Ash charges up the stairs angrily, taking her comments as an insult as Charizard continues to demonstrate power. Ash wants to battle, pointing at Charla, but Liza mentions that it is her personally trained Pokémon, having raised it since it was a {{p|Charmander}}. Ash and Charizard want to battle the ones in the valley, so Liza opens the large doors, showing all the Charizard, some sleeping, some sparring, and some performing other activities. A few glance at Ash's Charizard as Ash and Charizard are stunned at their larger size. One larger Charizard walks by and Liza points out that if Charizard can defeat that one, it may qualify to join. <br />
<br />
Charizard is quick to march up behind it and blast it in the face with Flamethrower. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Charizard literally inhales the attack and retaliates with its own, leaving Ash's toasted and it collapses. Charizard gets back up and shakes off the dust as Liza points to one sleeping, mentioning that despite the fact it is larger than Ash's it is still the most gentle of the Charizard. Charizard confronts that one and fires another Flamethrower, but the wild Charizard hardly reacts and turns away. However, the wild Charizard quickly lashes its tail, and Charizard is tossed against a wall. After it hits the ground, Charizard struggles to get up, Liza noticing that it is not strong enough to even match. Ash tries to console Charizard, that it will always be good enough for him, but Charizard charges for another attack, but another lash knocks it down. Ash tries to call Charizard off and the others try to convince it to give up, but Charizard continues to get beaten, eventually getting tossed out of the gate and down the stairs. Ash's friends are shocked at how the gentle one could still easily beat down Charizard. Charizard struggles to climb up the stairs however Liza closes the gates, kicking Ash and Charizard out of the valley telling Charizard to return after some training. Charizard smacks on the gate continually. Team Rocket, watching from a distance, realized that they can't capture any of the Charizard because Ash's Charizard, which always beats them, was easily defeated by those Charizard, and the machine they bought is weak. Liza reopens the gates and tells Charizard to go with Ash and that it can return after some training, but Charizard stubbornly refuses. Liza lets Charla battle and Ash's Charizard is tossed into a lake. Ash and his friends know how much Charizard hates the water as Liza tells Charizard to stay put and reflect before closing the gate. <br />
<br />
Charizard stares at the gate upset, roaring a cry as Team Rocket sympathizes with the Pokémon. When night falls, Misty notes how Charizard literally stayed in place since that afternoon. Ash wants to leave, but Charizard doesn't. Ash knows that Charizard wants to get stronger and ultimately the decision is up to Ash. Team Rocket watches as {{MTR}} translates Charizard's thoughts about wanting to be stronger. Throughout the night, Ash and his friends fall asleep, but Team Rocket tosses rocks at Charizard to keep it awake and prevent its flame from fading. Through the gates, Liza and Charla note how Charizard's determined to get in. <br />
<br />
The next morning, Ash wakes up and sees Charizard still sitting there. Ash knows what Charizard wants to do and knows that it would be wrong to not honor it. [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] shows up and rolls up to the gate, planning to try to break in. Everyone notices as Charizard gets up and flies towards the mecha. Charizard confronts them and blasts them with Flamethrower, overheating the mecha and making it explode, sending Team Rocket blasting off as they planned. Ash and his friend applaud as the gate opens, Liza applauding and inviting Charizard in. Ash wonders why beating Team Rocket qualifies, but Liza points out that Charizard proved that it wants to enter. The other Charizard and Charla roar and Ash knows what he has to do now. Shocking his friends, Ash angrily tells Charizard it should stay if it wants to because he'll get along just fine without it... and then adds that he doesn't really want a weak Charizard anyway. Ash starts to walk away and points to the valley, telling Charizard that it's got a lot to learn and should get going before Ash starts running away quickly followed by Misty and Brock. Pikachu waits a second with Charizard until it gives a thumbs-up to its long-time teammate, letting it know it understands. Pikachu bids Charizard farewell and starts to follow the group.<br />
<br />
With tears in his eyes and knowing he's doing the right thing even though it's hurting him to do so, Ash leaves the Valley and Charizard behind and knowing he might change his mind if he stops, Ash keeps on running...<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Charizard's tail was completely submerged in the water, but it was unharmed. This also happened when it was a Charmander in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 3: Charizard'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* This is one of the few episodes where Team Rocket actually ''wants'' to be blasted off. They help Charizard become stronger by allowing it to blow up a Team Rocket mecha which they used to break into the Charicific Valley.<br />
* The book ''[[All Fired Up (book)]]'' is based on this episode.<br />
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' was used in this episode.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* Ash says that he has not ridden Charizard before; however, this is not true as he rode on Charizard in both ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.<br />
** Technically, the moment in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' doesn't really count as Ash riding Charizard, as it wasn't intentional. Additionally, both Charizard and Ash were half-asleep from [[Jigglypuff (anime)|Jigglypuff]]'s singing so they may not remember it.<br />
* When James counts the [[Ash's friends|twerps']] Pokémon, a picture of them all is shown. {{AP|Snorlax}} was also pictured, even though it was back at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. <br />
** Also, counting Snorlax, there are a total of sixteen Pokémon, yet James only counts twelve. However, it is not known if this was an intentional error.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* There is a close-up shot of Ash's Charizard being hit very hard by a wild Charizard and sent flying into the top part of the entrance to the Valley with its tail that was cut from the English dub and replaced with an impact animation.<br />
* It is mentioned in the dub that [[Charla]] evolved from a {{p|Charmander}}. This was not in the original Japanese dialog.<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/02_49-charizard-chills/--><br />
<i>Ash, Tracey and Misty are sailing along on Lapras when they almost crash into another Pokémon trainer wanting to battle Ash. This trainer heard about Ash from the Trovita Island gym leader and wants to put his Pokémon up against Ash's. When the new trainer uses a super-powerful Poliwrath on Charizard, it's more than anyone expects. Charizard finally decides to obey and respect Ash as not only his trainer but also his friend, and the two become closer than ever!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} riding on {{AP|Lapras}} when they are almost run down by a boat owned by a boy named [[Tad]]. Misty angrily gets the boy to apologize for almost hitting Togepi. Tad apologizes and proceeds to call Misty "pretty". Tad knows Ash from his victory over [[Rudy]] of the Trovita Gym. <br />
<br />
On Tad’s boat the gang is told by Tad that he is also trying to get into the "Pokémon League" and that he had been after Ash had battled for his Badge and that Ash had used pure power to win. Misty comments that Ash does not have any skill. Tad challenges Ash to a battle claiming that he likes to challenge people who know what they're doing. Misty, however, jokes about this by pretending not to see Ash while Tad describes him. They then set a course toward [[Cleopatra Island]] which they presume to be deserted. <br />
<br />
{{TRT}} however is on the island fixing up some sort of machine and spot "the [[twerp]]s". Tad and Ash begin their battle with Ash choosing Pikachu and Tad choosing {{p|Poliwrath}}, this Poliwrath is wearing a golden belt that it won from Tad’s local town for being the “most powerful” Pokémon there. Misty and Tracey are puzzled by this choice but Ash is none the less confident. He orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Poliwrath immediately uses {{m|Double Team}} to avoid it. Pikachu then uses {{m|Quick Attack}} to get rid of the illusory Poliwrath. As Pikachu gets rid of the last one it uses its tail to shock Poliwrath however despite this Poliwrath seems undamaged. Poliwrath quickly uses {{m|Hypnosis}} followed by {{m|Water Gun}} to defeat Pikachu. Tracey explains that Tad let Pikachu use its power up so that when Poliwrath used its own power, it can easily defeat Pikachu. Tad cryptically tells the gang that his Poliwrath is at a higher level than Pikachu was. <br />
<br />
Ash, not very phased by Pikachu’s defeat, tries to match power with power and uses {{AP|Charizard}}, much to the horror of Misty and Tracey. Charizard appears and looks ready to battle. Ash comments that he can handle Charizard but Charizard in turn, like normal, {{m|Flamethrower}}s Ash. Tad notices this and asks Ash if he is sure about the choice, Ash says he is but it proves to be a big mistake as Charizard flies off on its own. Charizard does nothing that Ash tells it and flies around trying to get Poliwrath with a Flamethrower and fails every time. Tad explains to Ash that Charizard may be powerful but he is unable to control it. The match comes to an abrupt end when Poliwrath narrowly misses with its Water Gun on Charizard’s tail and instead unleashes a powerful {{m|Ice Beam}}. It hits Charizard who is locked in a cage of ice all over, save for its tail. Tad recalls Poliwrath but promises Ash a rematch once he learns how to handle Charizard. Tad leaves with Charizard freezing and Ash seething from the defeat. Team Rocket watches the match noting that they know how it feels but they are determined none the less to get Pikachu. <br />
<br />
Later that night Ash is up trying to warm up Charizard from the ice cage, by rubbing Charizard’s hide until his hands are literally red and raw. He is helped by Pikachu for a while. Ash tries hard to make sure that Charizard does not freeze and eventually it wakes up. However Charizard panics when it notices its tail, and eventually gets knocked out once again. Misty and Tracey, meanwhile, are away for fire wood but come back soon enough and notice the disturbance. <br />
<br />
Ash and Misty continue to rub Charizard’s back and neck while Tracey checks its temperature. It is still very cold and Tracey gets some fire wood and Misty gets a blanket. Ash notices that his hands are raw. He does not care, however, and continues rubbing, wanting to help Charizard heat up. Charizard once again wakes up and tries a Flamethrower. However, it does not work. Ash tries to get Charizard to calm down, even going as far as to let Charizard use its Flamethrower on him when he's feeling better. Charizard finally surrenders and agrees to let Ash help it unhindered. Ash talks to Charizard while rubbing, reminiscing that Ash has had Charizard since he was a {{p|Charmander}} and then when it evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}}. Ash admits he's not the best Trainer and makes a lot of mistakes but he's always trying to get better and hopes that one day Charizard and him will battle side by side. Charizard lies there listening to Ash's kind words and remembers how when it was a Charmander Ash [[EP011|saved its life]] when it was abandoned in a rainstorm by its Trainer. It then remembers the good times it shared with Ash when it was still a Charmander and then how, despite evolving into Charmeleon and Charizard and growing increasingly disobedient Ash has still never given up on it. Meanwhile Misty and Tracey have lit up a few more fires and they and Pikachu help to rub Charizard to make him better. This continues all the night. <br />
<br />
In the morning Charizard wakes up to find Ash sleeping on him from last night and moves away from him without waking him. Ash and then gang awaken to a roar that comes from Charizard who shows Ash his tail flame which is just as strong as normal. The gang is overjoyed to find that the rubbing worked on the Flame Pokémon. However, Team Rocket attacks by causing an explosion that lets them trap Pikachu inside a giant drill machine. Tad also notices this and rushes to where the explosion came from. Tad rejoins the group just as Team Rocket says their motto. Pikachu is trapped in a shock proof box making his attacks useless. Team Rocket soon makes their getaway by digging a tunnel. Just as Ash tries to pursue them, Charizard flies alongside Ash and gives him a lift on his back. They fly after Pikachu through the tunnel until they come to the other end near a beach. Charizard uses its feet to grab the machine before it can go any further and pulls it back up the hill. Charizard attempts to burn the drill but Ash stops him to prevent him from burning Pikachu. Instead Charizard crushes the drill with his foot and then bites the box containing Pikachu, destroying it. <br />
<br />
Pikachu is returned to Ash but Team Rocket is not done yet. They bring out some drill weaponry and attempt to slice Ash, Pikachu and Charizard. Pikachu and Ash are knocked out, and seeing Ash in danger, Charizard learns Dragon Rage. This attack destroys Team Rocket’s machine and sends them blasting off once again. <br />
<br />
Tad, Misty and Tracey finally find Ash and his Pokémon. Tad tells Ash that he promised him a rematch if he learned to control Charizard, and Ash agrees to another battle with Tad, Poliwrath vs. Charizard. Back on the beach, Tad sends out Poliwrath while Ash uses Charizard and the battle begins. Poliwrath starts with a Water Gun but Charizard is able to dodge after finally obeying an order from Ash. It flies around for a few seconds before unleashing an {{m|Ember}}; it sends multiple streams of fire toward Poliwrath. However Poliwrath counters with another Water Gun by spinning on the spot dousing the flames. Seeing an opportunity Charizard tries a {{m|Take Down}} but Poliwrath counters again by catching its leg before it hits. Poliwrath then unleashes another Ice Beam but Charizard successfully evades by flying toward the sky. Poliwrath then tries a {{m|Body Slam}} on Charizard but it misses by Charizard doing a spinning maneuver and Poliwrath is knocked into the air. Charizard carries it up to the sky and then does its dreaded {{m|Seismic Toss}} on Poliwrath, winning the match for Charizard and Ash. Ash hugs Charizard and Tad recalls Poliwrath. <br />
<br />
Over the sunset the gang waves goodbye to Tad with Charizard still out of its [[Poké Ball]]. Ash jumps into the air claiming that nobody will be able to beat him but accidentally knocks Charizard off balance while it is scratching itself with its leg. Getting angry, Charizard unleashes a {{m|Flamethrower}} at Ash, Misty and Tracey. Misty and Tracey in turn tell him not to get Charizard angry, he says not to worry and that he could take the heat as the episode ends.<br />

* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
* The belt that Tad's Poliwrath is wearing greatly resembles to the [[P1 Grand Prix]]'s belt that [[Ash's Primeape]] wears at the end of ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', it is very possible that Tad is born, or lives in the city where the P1 Grand Prix takes place, as he mentions it himself.<br />
* According to [[Pokémon.com]], this is the last episode of [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]].<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP105 error.png|thumb|200px|The headband error.]]<br />
* In the scene when the group is on Tad's ship, there is a coloring error in which Tracey's headband is painted green instead of pink. This shade of green is the same as Tad's bandana.<br />
* After Charizard saves Pikachu, Ash congratulates it and he has his jacket and hat on, even though he didn't have them before Pikachu's rescue seconds ago. Also they are seen disappearing again a few seconds later.<br />
* In the dub, the Pokédex incorrectly identifies Charizard's {{m|Dragon Rage}} as {{m|Rage}}.<br />
* When Charizard destroys Team Rocket's drill, Ash is no longer on his back for a few seconds.<br />
* In this episode, Charizard easily carries Ash on its back. However, in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions!]]'', Ash was too heavy for Charizard to carry.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* This episode was aired before ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match!]]'' in the United States, causing some confusion on when Ash actually obtained his third Badge or even that Ash's Charizard was disobeying him once more after the airing of this episode.<br />
* ''{{so|Pokémon World}}'' replaces ''Type: Wild'' in the dub.<br />

'''Volcanic Panic''' (Japanese: '''けっせん！グレンジム！''' ''Decisive Battle! {{tt|Guren|Cinnabar}} Gym!'') is the 59th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 20, 1998 and in the United States on September 18, 1999. <br />
<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
<br />
==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/02_04-volcanic-panic/--><br />
<i>Ash continues his quest to attain his Volcano Badge once he finally locates the gym that is suspended above a pool of molten lava! Only a strong fire Pokémon could help him in this battle, so Ash must rely on his misbehaving Charizard to help him win this smoldering match.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
When we last saw {{Ash}}, he was locked into {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Blaine]], down two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} before {{AP|Pikachu}} had managed to knock out [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. However, any semblance of a comeback was halted by Blaine's {{p|Magmar}}, who quickly corners off Pikachu and is about to finish it off with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. Ash tells Pikachu to duck in the last second, hoping to avoid the blast, but Pikachu is hit, but fortunately is not knocked into the lava, having hung on to the edge. Though Pikachu makes it back onto the battlefield, Ash concedes the match, not wanting to risk Pikachu falling into the lava. Blaine allows Ash to stay, as the hot springs will help heal Pikachu from its burns. Though {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} advise Ash to leave for another Gym, as Blaine was simply too powerful, Ash declares that he will not leave without a {{Badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
The next day, as Ash, Misty, and Brock try to help Pikachu, {{TRT}} manages to sneak into the battlefield, in an attempt to steal Magmar by freezing him. Though it appears that their attempt is successful, Magmar simply melts the ice around it, which in turn causes Team Rocket to fire more freezing missiles at it. However, their over zealousness causes the battlefield walls to cave in, and Ash, Misty, Brock, and Blaine arrive as Team Rocket is sent flying. With nowhere to run, and the volcano about to erupt due to the frozen ice causing fissures in the walls and ground (causing the battlefield in turn to sink into the lava), Blaine is forced to use Magmar to dam the volcano and prevent its eruption. Ash also tries to have {{AP|Charizard}} to pitch in, but Charizard is unwilling to cooperate. However, after seeing Magmar throw rocks in an attempt to dam the volcano, Charizard decides to help, and {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}} also pitch in (the latter two helping to cool off Onix and Geodude). Pikachu also makes an effort to help, while Misty is forced to rein in {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} from helping, while Ash is forced to rein in {{an|Jigglypuff}} from putting everyone to sleep. Eventually, the volcano is dammed, leaving Charizard and Magmar with a desire to battle it out against each other.<br />
<br />
As thanks, Blaine allows Ash a rematch for the Volcano Badge. But with the battlefield destroyed, Ash and Blaine agree to battle one-on-one on the summit of the volcano - Blaine with Magmar, and Ash deciding to use Charizard after it shows a desire to battle (he had originally wanted to go with Pikachu). As the battle begins, both sides trade {{m|Flamethrower}}s, and Magmar counters with a Fire Blast, which Charizard digs in and manages to deflect. Magmar then proceeds to hit Charizard square in the gut with a {{m|Skull Bash}}, pushing Charizard into a pillar. Charizard begins to fall towards the lava. Charizard recovers, and locks up with Magmar. Magmar then uses Charizard's own momentum against it by flipping it over, and pushing the two into the lava. Although Ash calls foul, Blaine reminds him that "under the volcano" is still part of their agreed-upon battlefield. However, once the two emerge from the lava, Charizard is now the one with the upper hand, having used his flight ability to create an aerial {{m|Submission}} and finish off Magmar with {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Having won the battle, Ash proceeds to congratulate Charizard and return it, only to be blasted in the face with another Flamethrower. As it turns out, Charizard only obeyed Ash in order to fight Magmar, and nothing more. Still, Ash had earned his Volcano Badge, and leaves Cinnabar Island.<br />
<br />
Wondering where to go next, Brock suggests that they head to the [[Viridian City]] Gym, which is a leading Gym where the best Trainers prepare for the [[Pokémon League]]. Ash was unaware of the fact that there was a Gym in Viridian City and asks Misty why she didn't tell him before. Misty replies that they were too busy arguing for her to remember. Misty can't recall why they were fighting and just as Brock was about to refresh her memory, Ash quickly declares to keep moving, only for Misty to remember about him owing her that [[Bicycle|bike]]...<br />
<br />
==Major events==<br />
* {{Ash}} forfeits his first Gym battle with [[Blaine]].<br />
* Ash defeats Blaine in a rematch and earns the {{Badge|Volcano}}.<br />
* [[Ash's Charizard]] is revealed to know {{m|Submission}} and {{m|Seismic Toss}}.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* This is the first time Charizard's signature {{m|Seismic Toss}} finisher is seen.<br />
* When Charizard performs its Seismic Toss, real world countries can be seen, such as Australia.<br />
** In the dub, {{TR|Meowth}} makes reference to {{wp|Mount Vesuvius}}, a volcano in Italy that destroyed the ancient city of {{wp|Pompeii}}.<br />
* This is the first episode where [[Masaaki Iwane]] is credited as an animation director.<br />
* Staryu and Squirtle keep other Pokémon cool with help of water. Even [[Brock's Geodude]] and {{TP|Brock|Onix}} are kept cool this way, despite the fact that Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon are weak to water, and Brock's are not exceptions, as seen in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', ''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon!]]'', and other episodes. This may mean that the weakness arises from water pressure tolerance.<br />
* At the end of the episode, the [[narrator]] says that "Ash hurries on to Viridian City, eager to compete for a [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|green]] {{badge|Earth}}, meanwhile Misty is seeing [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|red]], and that's sure to make Brock [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|blue]]", obviously referring to the original [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games|video games}}.<br />
* This is the first episode to be the length of 24 minutes and 35 seconds, which afterward became the standard for all episodes. Also, since the Japan-exclusive segment [[Professor Oak's lecture]] began two episodes later, it is one of the two longest actual episodes in the [[Original series]], later matched only by [[DP120]].<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* In the flashback at the beginning of the episode the narrator says that Ninetales beat Squirtle with an {{m|Ember}}, when it was actually a {{m|Fire Spin}} that defeated {{AP|Squirtle}}.<br />
** Also in the flashback, {{Ash}} can be heard telling {{AP|Pikachu}} "You'll feel 100 percent soon," but this line was never spoken in the previous episode. He actually delivers the line a few minutes later, shortly after the conclusion of the battle.<br />
** Furthermore in the flashback, when Blaine called on Magmar he said "Come out...Magmar!", but he actually said "I choose...Magmar!".<br />
* During the scene where they are stopping the volcano from erupting, Misty calls on {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to keep everyone cool. However, it's {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} that comes out.<br />
* The second time the Gyarados statue that opened the volcano's entrance is seen, it is no longer on a rock and is instead on the cement surrounding the hot spring.<br />
* Jessie and James can be heard perfectly under water, with no speech hindrances and no air bubbles. Additionally, they were using reeds to breathe, which would make talking even harder. This may be an example of [[anime physics]], though.<br />
* When Magmar is about to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, Misty tells Ash, "Watch out for Magmar's Flamethrower!", even though they haven't seen Magmar using the move before, and shouldn't be able to know what move it was going to use.<br />
* Magmar was seen running towards Charizard, even though there were platforms in the volcano.<br />
* Just after Charizard uses Seismic Toss on Magmar, Magmar blasts out of the volcano. When Magmar lands onto a platform its mouth changes to orange instead of cream and in the next shot it changes back.<br />
* When the volcano is erupting, Blaine orders Magmar to block the "lava flow". Technically speaking, it is called magma when it is inside a volcano, and called lava outside of it.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* In the original version, Misty doesn't tell Ash specifically to watch out for Magmar's Flamethrower, but simply says that he should watch out for Magmar's Fire-type attacks.<br />
* When Charizard pushed the {{m|Fire Blast}} away, its shape changed into the kanji for medium (中), and then small (小), before vanishing. The dub kept it the same shape until it disappeared, but didn't erase the sound effects that came with the pun.<br />

'''Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ふっかつ！？ かせきポケモン！''' ''Resurrection?! Fossil Pokémon!'') is the 46th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 28, 1998, and in the United States on February 27, 1999. <br />

<i>Our heroes approach Grampa Canyon, famous for the beautiful scenery of its valley. As they approach, however, they find wave upon wave of people also heading for Grampa Canyon. Carrying backpacks, pickaxes, etc. they are all dressed like explorers. Ash has no idea what is so special about the canyon, but he notices a familiar face among the crowd—that of his rival, Gary. According to Gary, fossils from an extinct Pokémon have been discovered, triggering an ancient Pokémon excavation boom.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking in an area called [[Grampa Canyon]] when they see a large group of people walking with picks and shovels. {{Gary}} appears and explains that he and the group are here for the Fossil Rush, because of a great 'Pokémon Discovery'. Ash resolves to join in, so as to embarrass Gary by finding a [[Fossil]] before he does. {{an|Jigglypuff}} also appears, ready to {{m|sing}}, but the group leave without noticing it.<br />
<br />
Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} soon find a large area of the canyon where many people, including Gary, are digging. However, they also stumble across [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]], who reveal (accidentally) their plan to blow up the canyon and steal all the Fossils. As {{MTR}} lights the fuse, Ash runs up to Team Rocket, and sends out {{AP|Squirtle}} in an attempt to put the flame out. Squirtle, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Ash chase the fuse, trying to put it out; [[Jessie]], [[James]], and Meowth (along with {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}) try to stop him. Team Rocket then fall and start rolling, resulting in a ball of people and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} rolling into Ash, landing right beside the dynamite. As the fuse draws near to the dynamite, Pikachu panics and uses {{m|ThunderShock}}, causing the dynamite to detonate. Ash, Pikachu, Jessie, James, Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing are now trapped in an underground cave, and only Squirtle escapes from the rubble. Hearing the explosion, Misty and Brock run to the pile of rubble and start digging out rock and soil with Squirtle.<br />
<br />
In the cave, Ash, Pikachu, Team Rocket, and their Pokémon begin arguing over whose fault it is that they're down there. The group is soon confronted by Fossil Pokémon that they do not recognize. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]], and the Pokémon are revealed to be {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. Jessie and James begin to speculate that the explosion must have awakened them from thousands of years of sleep. Regardless, Team Rocket begin to contemplate stealing the Pokémon for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}, and attempt to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] them by throwing {{ball|Poké}}s at the Fossil Pokémon. A Kabutops blocks the balls, and they are rebounded at Meowth. All of the Fossil Pokémon start approaching the group to attack, so Ash sends out his {{AP|Charmeleon}}, but it refuses to help. A chase scene ensues, where the Fossil Pokémon are winning the chase. Then, all of a sudden, the Pokémon run away deeper into the cave. Originally confused, the group soon realize why the Pokémon ran off: an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swoops in, knocking over Charmeleon. Angry, Charmeleon tries to attack the Aerodactyl, but is knocked out before it gets a chance. Aerodactyl then grabs onto Ash with its claws, and begins to fly towards the surface. Before the [[Flying (type)|flying Pokémon]] can get too far, Pikachu and Charmeleon jump on board.<br />
<br />
Back above ground, [[Brock's Geodude]] had finally dug a hole through the rubble. The Aerodactyl flies out of the hole in the ground, dropping Pikachu and Charmeleon on its way out, and perches on a cliff with Ash still in hand. Charmeleon wants to {{pkmn|battle}} the Aerodactyl as Aerodactyl had earlier annoyed him, but the Aerodactyl just taunts it. The anger this causes Charmeleon seems to make it [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{AP|Charizard}}. Ash is happy as he thinks that Charmeleon has evolved to rescue him, but then realizes he merely wants to battle Aerodactyl for his own pride and has no thought of rescuing Ash. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Misty sees {{an|Jigglypuff}} and tells it to sing to make Aerodactyl fall asleep. Jigglypuff agrees and quite happily sings, of course sending everyone in the canyon to sleep. Aerodactyl, now asleep, falls into the rubble, dropping Ash before falling. However, Charizard manages to stay awake by covering its ears and catches the sleeping Ash before he hits the ground, but falls asleep anyway once landing on the ground. Jigglypuff, seeing everyone has fallen asleep, draws markings all over everyone's faces with its marker out of anger. After awakening, Officer Jenny announces that the whole thing was a dream caused by Jigglypuff's song, although Ash knows it wasn't. <br />
<br />
As Ash and the gang leave, Ash reveals that he had found a [[Pokémon Egg]] at the site, causing the trio to fight playfully about who should get to raise and keep the Egg. Brock takes the Egg and runs away, promising to "take good care of it", with Ash and Misty in tow. Meanwhile, Team Rocket and their Pokémon are still trapped in the cave, with the sleeping Fossil Pokémon only feet away.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* There are two possible {{wp|Indiana Jones}} references in this episode; [[Gary Oak]]'s digging clothes are very similar to Indiana Jones's clothes and when Ash is attempting to put out the fuse lit by Team Rocket, they roll into a boulder, similar to ''{{wp|Raiders of the Lost Ark}}''.<br />
* The events of this episode will be recounted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', as it turns out that [[Todd Snap]] happened to be in the area so he took a picture of the {{p|Aerodactyl}} as it was flying off with Ash.<br />
* This marks the second time that Ash had two Flying types in his party simultaneously. That hadn't happened since ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'' and won't happen again until ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]''. <br />
* Two books are at least partially based on this episode. ''{{book|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon}}'' is a standard book in the novelization series; however, there is also ''{{DL|Pokémon Adventure Series|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon}}'' in the Adventure series.<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 3: Charizard'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* A shot of Aerodactyl performing an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'', which involves pulling its eyelid down and sticking out its tongue at the same time, is still present in the dub, despite similar shots being removed from ''[[EP006|Clefairy And The Moon Stone]]'' and ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* When Gary comments on Ash being a "loser", his eyelid is colored white.<br />
* When the camera is panning over all of the Pokémon to show their red eyes, Kabuto is depicted with the colors of its claws and shell inverted.<br />
* Pikachu uses an {{t|Electric}} attack on Kabutops; however, the Kabutops is unaffected as if it were a {{type|Ground}}, despite Kabutops being a {{t|Rock}}/{{type|Water}} and weak to electric attacks. This is most likely because during the first season, it is often incorrectly stated that Rock Pokémon are immune to Electric attacks.<br />
* When Charizard fires his Flamethrower at Aerodactyl, the part of his wings that were previously colored blue are depicted in a yellow color.<br />
* When Ash rolls onto the [[Pokémon Egg]], all of the patterns on it are colored red, instead of half-red and half-blue.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* The sign at the beginning of the episode states the name of the canyon in the Japanese version. In the dub, the sign is a picture of a pick-axe and shovel.<br />
* The point where Meowth actually lights the fuse is cut in Kids' WB! version of the dub. Instead, the camera zooms in to Meowth's face so the lighter isn't seen. This scene aired uncut on the VHS and DVD versions.<br />
* When digging through the rocks, Misty says Ash had better not die on her. In the dub, she reminds him that he still owes her a bike.<br />
* The fossilized Pokémon dung that Gary found was an ammonite fossil in the original version. Since {{p|Omanyte}}'s English name is a phonetic anagram of this fossil's name, it was likely changed so that Gary's negative reaction made sense.<br />

<i>As our heroes continue their journey, Team Rocket never let up with their constant interception, but today something seems strange. The coin on Meowth's forehead is blinking red, indicating overheating. If something isn't done soon, Meowth may die, but James and Jessie don't know what to do. Just then, a young girl approaches. Unable to bear the sight of Meowth's pain, she pulls a bundle of healing herbs from her backpack, crunches them into powder and, mixing this with water, feeds it to Meowth. As Meowth drinks, the redness gradually fades from its face.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Mossgreen Village]], a village so small it doesn't have its own [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]]. Because of this, Ash feels that there's no reason to stop there. However, {{an|Brock}} reveals that their bag of [[Potion]]s and [[Antidote]]s is empty, so they should stock up on supplies in town. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, hot on their trail, is about to make their move on {{AP|Pikachu}}. Before they get far, however, they discover {{MTR}} has fallen ill. Deciding that the loss of Meowth is worth the capture of Pikachu, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] begin to leave him behind; they are immediately scolded by a girl, who lashes out at them for abandoning their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (believing that Jessie and James were Meowth's {{pkmn|Trainer}}s). She then nurses Meowth back to health and, during this process, Meowth has fallen for the girl.<br />
<br />
In town, the group arrives at an herbal shop to purchase their medicine. Entering, they find an [[Cassandra's grandmother|old woman]] grinding herbs. When they request to buy some Potions and Antidotes, she offers them snake root that will cure insomnia and grow hair on their nose and tongue. The old woman is then scolded by the same girl who helped Meowth, her granddaughter, named [[Cassandra]]. {{an|Brock}} immediately falls for her, trying to make small talk about how he intends to be the best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}}, but Cassandra parlays the conversation into a [[Pokémon battle]], which Ash accepts. At the battle, Cassandra sends out her {{p|Paras}}, while Pikachu leads off for Ash. However, before the battle, Pikachu tries to make friendly talk (in a show of sportsmanship), but it causes Paras to cower in fear. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on the battle, intent on stealing Pikachu; Meowth is distracted by Cassandra, as he intends to repay her for healing him.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Cassandra admits her ulterior motive in battling: she wants to make this Paras [[Evolution|evolve]] so that she could use {{p|Parasect}}'s mushroom to help develop a miracle Pokémon medicine. Paras is acting cowardly, fearful of battling. Agreeing to "throw the battle" by going easy on Paras, the battle gets off to a rocky start when Pikachu fires a small "static bolt" at Paras, which unfortunately knocks it out. While Cassandra tries to get Paras back into shape, {{an|Misty}} suggests Ash try a different Pokémon. As Paras is both a {{type|Bug}} and a {{type|Grass}}, Ash decides to send out {{AP|Squirtle}}, for which Paras would be at an advantage. However, that does not go too well either, as Squirtle's weakened {{m|Water Gun}}, meant to just "sprinkle Paras' mushrooms a little", also manages to knock it out. Desperate to help Paras evolve, Ash sends out {{AP|Charmeleon}}, despite the massive advantage it has, telling it to go easy on Paras. Charmeleon refuses to obey, gets too violent, and instead of doing an easy, soft attack, it launched a full-power {{m|Flamethrower}} at Paras before sending it flying by smacking it with its tail. This causes Paras to run away. When Ash tries to rein in Charmeleon, he too, is blasted in the face. Pikachu decides to hit Charmeleon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, enabling Ash to recall it. Ash can't believe Charmeleon is acting this way, as he was so excited when Charmander evolved, but apparently Ash wasn't ready for it. Misty tells Ash to deal with the problem with Charmeleon later and that they need to find Paras.<br />
<br />
As Paras is running away, it bumps into Meowth, wanting to help Cassandra, tries to get Jessie and James to help Paras. However, they want to know what's in it for them. Meowth then explains that if Paras evolves, Cassandra will be able to make her miracle Potion which would be worth millions. Meowth then explains that once they help Cassandra, she'll make Meowth their company mascot. Jessie and James don't see where this would benefit them, but then Meowth explains that he would make them his business managers as he'll probably have a lot of money to manage. Fueled by greed, Jessie and James agree, asking Meowth how they'll make their millions. Meowth then explains that he needs {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} as "losing battles is their specialty". First, Arbok goes off against Paras, but before Arbok can go full-power on it, Meowth intercepts the attack, knocking Arbok down. Paras, believing it had defeated Arbok, is cheered by Jessie and James as if it had scored the [[Fainting|knockout]]. This repeats itself with Weezing and with Meowth, causing Paras to get fired up.<br />
<br />
Cassandra, with Ash and company in tow, manage to find Paras up a tree, and because of its visibly different mood, determine that it's raring to go. While Team Rocket is watching from a nearby bush (in the hopes that Ash would help them on their objective), Ash sends out Pikachu to battle again. Paras goads Pikachu closer and manages to prod it in the tail. As Pikachu prepares to retaliate from the cheap shot, it is reminded by Ash to throw the fight, so instead Pikachu falls over, feigning unconsciousness. Ash then sends out Charmeleon for another chance, but once again Charmeleon starts to disobey. Ash can't understand this as it was always obedient before evolving. Cassandra's grandmother then explains that if the Pokémon's strength is greater than the Trainer's skill level, it won't respect him and take orders. Cassandra asks that Ash call back Charmeleon, but it breathes fire on him again before turning towards Paras, who finds itself cowering in fear again. Team Rocket then comes out of hiding and cheers Paras on to win, only to be burned by Charmeleon. Charmeleon advances on Paras and is about to finish it off when Paras, in desperation, closes its eyes and throws out its pincer, which strikes Charmeleon in the stomach, causing it to collapse. Paras is surprised that it won. Soon after, Paras begins to evolve into Parasect. Everyone hails Parasect's success, including Team Rocket who feel they're about to board the "gravy train". Charmeleon, however, recovers and angrily sends Team Rocket flying by smacking them with its tail. It then turns back to Parasect for revenge. Cassandra attempts to protect it, but Parasect stops Charmeleon with its {{m|Spore}} attack, putting it to sleep and allowing Ash to recall it.<br />
<br />
As Ash and his friends leave, they are thanked by Cassandra for their help. Ash is also reminded by Cassandra's grandmother that he'll never get control of Charmeleon if he doesn't improve his skill level. After the group leaves, Team Rocket drops in, and Meowth is nursed back to health once again. Cassandra is reluctant to let Meowth become the company mascot, not wanting to separate Meowth from the "heroic" Team Rocket. Meowth does not win the spot anyways, thanks to Cassandra's grandmother having found a {{p|Persian}} for the company mascot instead. As Team Rocket sulks off, their potential riches lost, Cassandra promises to treat the Persian like it was Meowth.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This is the first episode to air on [[Kids' WB!]].<br />
* Although {{an|Misty}} is afraid of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, she isn't scared of {{p|Paras}}.<br />
* The English title for this episode might be a reference to the phrase ''the problem with people''.<br />
* This is the second time Meowth is rejected in favor of a Persian.<br />
* The book ''[[Charizard, Go!]]'' is based on this episode.<br />
* The events contained within this episode confound the logistics of Pokémon battles, implying that experience points are rewarded based upon whether one is ''declared a winner,'' not upon whether one's actions throughout a battle cause them to become stronger. In this respect, it would appear that experience points are not an abstraction for the purpose of game mechanics, but an actual, concrete effect in the Pokémon universe. However, experience points are rarely brought up afterwards.<br />
* This is the first time Ash attempts to lose a battle. This doesn't happen again until ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'' with the similarly typed {{p|Burmy}}.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* Ash says Electric Shock instead of {{m|ThunderShock}}. This is most likely a translation error, as ThunderShock's Japanese name means "Electric Shock".<br />
* As Ash recalls Charmeleon, the colors of the {{ball|Poké}} swap over between frames.<br />
*Just after Squirtle uses Water Gun on Paras, Cassandra's shoes are pink.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* At the end of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]] at the end of this episode, the [[Kids' WB!]] announcer at the time (Jim Cummings) dubbed over the voice that normally tells the viewer to watch for more of the Pokérap with, "Tune in next week and watch Ash, Misty, and Brock on their quest to become Pokémon masters! Don't miss them, the new ones are now only on Kids' WB!". When this episode was rerun on [[Cartoon Network]] and Boomerang, and even when uploaded onto [[Cartoon Network Video]], the Kids' WB! announcer's voice remained.<br />

<i>Our heroes continue their Pokémon training without a break even over spring vacation, when what should appear before them but a carnival. Ash, Brock and Pikachu join in the fun, eventually discovering a rather dull magic show being performed in a small cabin. The magician begs Misty to become his assistant, but because of his poor magic skills, the magician is fired. Feeling sorry for him, Brock, Ash and Misty suggest working together to create a Pokémon magic show.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find themselves in a town on the same day as a carnival. Excited to party, {{an|Brock}} and Ash change into funny outfits and start dancing. {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, embarrassed, walk away, go on some rides, and eat some ice cream. Soon after, Misty notices a woman shouting at [[Melvin|a man]] with an {{p|Exeggcute}}. The woman shouts something about a payment the man owes her, shoves him back into a box, and walks away. Misty asks the man if everything is alright and he asks her if she'll be his assistant for his magic show, since his previous assistant just quit. He introduces himself as Melvin and conjures some flowers and flags. Misty agrees to help him, but just for the day.<br />
<br />
Misty is forced to wear a leotard adorned with {{p|Goldeen}} fins and is embarrassed, but, luckily, only four people showed up to the show. Unfortunately, Ash and Brock arrive and Ash laughs at her while she is on stage. Melvin then starts to juggle his Exeggcute and everyone, even Misty, thinks it's boring. Melvin then pulls out a wand and a tiny flame comes out; the crowd falls back and make exclamations like "That was pathetic!" He tries again, and a huge jet of flame comes out. Misty tells him to be careful, but he's so thrilled the trick actually worked that he doesn't listen to her and the fire sprinkler system in the building activates, drenching the audience. The carnival manager fired Melvin because of the stunt and wants to give up all his dreams, but Ash and co. promise to give him some tips.<br />
<br />
Ash performs his own trick involving a "magic" box with fire and water "magically" shooting out of the top, but it really just contains {{AP|Charmander}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. The three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} get into a fight inside the box and subsequently ruin Ash's trick. Ash says that Melvin's Exeggcute doesn't do much, so it uses {{m|Hypnosis}} on him. Brock and Misty wonder why Ash is acting so dopey, especially after he follows Melvin's command and spins in circles while acting like a {{p|Bulbasaur}}. After Melvin realizes how he can control Ash, he and Ash sneak away from Brock, Misty, and Pikachu.<br />
<br />
Melvin then commands Ash to pull him into the [[Leaf Forest]]. {{TRT}} sees Melvin and Ash and starts to follow them. Brock and Misty are out looking for Melvin and Ash when Misty then realizes that Ash is being [[Hypnosis (move)|hypnotized]]. The Leaf Forest is full of {{p|Exeggutor}}, which Melvin has Ash weaken; Melvin then [[Caught Pokémon|catches]] the entire mob of Pokémon. Team Rocket make an entry and say their {{motto}}, then tie Melvin up. His Exeggcute [[Evolution|evolves]] into an Exeggutor without warning, and then uses Hypnosis on Team Rocket. The other Exeggutor copy this and end up hypnotizing each other, causing them to go on a rampage toward the town. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are hypnotized into believing they are Exeggutor, and follow the heard. Brock and Misty show up and wake up Ash and Melvin, who were trampled by the marching Exeggutor. Ash is no longer hypnotized.<br />
<br />
The four of them head for town, where they see that the carnival has been almost entirely destroyed, and discover the Exeggutor mob is turning around and coming back their way. The carnival owner tells them he's planted a time bomb so that when the Exeggutor come back, they'll be blown up. Ash, Brock, and Misty are of course opposed to this, so they decide to try to stop the Exeggutor before they reach the bomb. Ash sends out Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander in an attempt to stop the heard. Squirtle and Bulbasaur's attacks don't have much of an effect. Ash calls those two back into their {{ball|Poké}}s, and orders Charmander to attack. The Pokémon's fire attacks successfully stop some of the Exeggutor. It quickly becomes exhausted, however, and the Exeggutor keep charging forward. Misty tries to convince Melvin to use his fire trick to stop the Exeggutor, and, although he's positive he'll fail, he tries anyway. The trick ends up working, and together with Charmander, they stop the Exeggutor. Melvin's Exeggutor returns to him, resulting in Melvin running up to it and giving it a hug. The time bomb then goes off just a distance away, destroying the carnival, and, to their relief, no one gets hurt from the blast. Suddenly, Charmander evolves into {{AP|Charmeleon}} and shoots a flame at Ash's face, its loyalty to Ash now in question. Team Rocket gets carried away by the Exeggutor, and the gang continue on their journey.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This is the last episode to air in syndication in the United States. Due to this, there was a near four month gap between this episode and ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' as a result of Pokémon being moved to the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} lineup.<br />
* Early in the episode, Ash and Brock are wearing party outfits. Brock's outfit, which has pink frills for the sleeves and the cuffs of the pants, has large similarities to his future ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'' outfit, including the maracas he holds. The outfit from this episode thus may have served as inspiration for the later outfit.<br />
* This is the first episode in which there is a reference to a real life city, Melvin mentioning that his dream is to have his own magic show in {{wp|Las Vegas}}. <br />
* This is the first episode in which one of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} evolves in the same episode as another character's Pokémon.<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 9: Charmander'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.<br />
* Melvin keeps all of his Exeggutor on hand in this episode, even though there are far more than the maximum six allowed to all trainers.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* When Exeggcute evolved into Exeggutor, the upper lip of the head on the far right wasn't fully colored in.<br />
* After Melvin makes the trick of the flower bouquet to Ash, Misty and Brock, Pikachu moves its mouth, but no voice can be heard.<br />
* After the sprinkler goes off, Pikachu's voice is heard, but its mouth doesn't move.<br />
* In one scene, Jessie's lipstick is missing.<br />
* When Jessie is talking to the Exeggcute, her stomach is wider than usual.<br />
* When Ash commands Squirtle to use Water Gun on the Exeggutor, the "z" on his right cheek is gone.<br />
* When the herd of Exeggutor are seen entering the town, the right head of one's eyes are not colored in.<br />
* When Ash and co. are seen walking at the end of the episode, Ash's shoes are completely white.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* Originally, Melvin stated he wanted to make it to {{wp|Broadway theatre|Broadway}}, not Las Vegas.<br />

<i>Fuchsia Gym, the authorized gym where Ash seeks his next badge, turns out to be a hidden ninja's lair. After finally discovering and entering the gym, he is held up by a complex system of traps. At last, the gym's eccentric trainer challenges Ash to a match. Just as he defeats the trainer, the official battle with the Master begins. The battle goes out of control as Team Rocket also enters the gym and its vast array of traps. Can Ash actually earn the gym badge?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are trekking through a forest looking for [[Fuchsia Gym]], when they decide to take a break at a lake. They sit by a lake with {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. Misty tells Psyduck that drinking cold water will only make its headache worse. Brock mentions how wonderful Vulpix's hair is thanks to [[Suzy]], causing Misty to get annoyed and ask if Brock wants to trade Vulpix for Psyduck. However, he refuses. As they head off for the Gym, a {{p|Venonat}} watches them from the trees. <br />
<br />
As Ash and {{ashfr}} continue walking, they end up at an odd-looking mansion where they stop to ask directions. They end up at an old house and open the door to find an empty corridor. Misty leans against a wall and falls through it. The others search the wall and eventually open it up to find her. There, they see the same {{p|Venonat}} that was spying on them before. It hops away, so they decide to follow it. It runs around a corner, and when they run after it, Ash hits his face on an invisible wall. They turn around to leave, only to hit another wall. Ash then falls out of the side of the house and is hanging on. The others manage to pull him up, and Ash starts to go through the door. Misty and Brock hear him yell, and go through the door to find an empty room. They call for Ash, and the door closes behind them to reveal him stuck to a wall with throwing stars. Then a girl who identifies herself as {{an|Aya}} falls down onto them. Aya says that she will not let them go until Ash and her have a {{pkmn|battle}}. He accepts, and she sends out Venonat. Ash chooses {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Tackle}} but Venonat jumps out of the way. Venonat then launches a {{m|Stun Spore}} attack, which [[Anime move errors|Bulbasaur deflects with]] {{m|Whirlwind}}. Bulbasaur then finishes it off with {{m|Leech Seed}}. Aya returns Venonat and a Voltorb appears and {{m|Self-Destruct|selfdestruct}}s. [[Koga]] appears, and explains that they are at the [[Fuchsia Gym]], and that he is the [[Gym Leader]]. He says Aya is his sister and that he will battle Ash, and not let them go until he does.<br />
<br />
Ash sends in {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, and Koga responds by sending out his own Venonat. Having just defeated Aya's Venonat, Ash is noticeably confident. However, Koga warns Ash that his Venonat has a lot more experience. As if to drive the point home, Venonat chooses that moment to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Venomoth}}. The battle begins. Koga orders Venomoth to use Stun Spore. Ash responds to this the same way he did in his battle against Aya, by ordering Pidgeotto to use Whirlwind. This time, however, Stun Spore wins out and paralyzes Pidgeotto. Venomoth then follows up with Sleep Powder, prompting Ash to recall Pidgeotto and send out {{AP|Charmander}}. Venomoth uses Stun Spore again, but Charmander blocks it with {{m|Flamethrower}}. At that point, {{TRT}} arrives and send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Ash, Aya, and Koga send in Charmander, Venonat, and Venomoth respectively to battle, but James throws a fistful of a sticky substance at them, immobilizing them. Pikachu then steps up, only to meet the same fate from Jessie. Koga then pulls a cord, opening up panels in the ceiling, and unleashing a large amount of Voltorb on the trio. However, Team Rocket uses more of their sticky goop to reel in the entire pack of Voltorb. Misty then tries to send out Starmie, but Psyduck chooses that moment to break out of its {{ball|Poké}}. Misty, seething with rage, asks Ash what moves Psyduck knows. Ash consults the Pokédex, which lists {{m|Tail Whip}}. Misty tells Psyduck to use Tail Whip; Psyduck wags its tail to no effect whatsoever (aside from making Misty more angry). The Pokédex then lists Psyduck's second move as {{m|Scratch}}. On Misty's order, Psyduck uses Scratch on Arbok. Not only does this not work, Arbok begins biting Psyduck's head, worsening its headache. At that moment, Psyduck amazes everyone by using a variety of psychic powers to freeze Team Rocket, blast them off, and remove the sticky gunk from Venonat, Venomoth, Charmander, and Pikachu. Ash's Pokédex chimes in, listing Psyduck's third and fourth attacks; {{m|Disable}} and {{m|Confusion}}. Koga and Aya both offer to trade for Psyduck but Misty declines, saying "I wouldn't trade Psyduck for the world." Ash and Koga continue their battle outside. Ash chooses Charmander and Koga chooses {{p|Golbat}}. Charmander defeats Golbat with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}, and Koga gives Ash a {{Badge|Soul}}, and the trio go on their way.<br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Brock eyes open.png|225px|thumb|open|Brock's eyes open]]<br />
* This is [[Maddie Blaustein]]'s first episode as {{MTR}}.<br />
* {{an|Brock}}'s eyes open after being hit by Charmander's {{m|Flamethrower}}.<br />
* This episode marks the first time Psyduck jumps out of Misty's Poké Ball when she attempts to summon another Pokémon.<br />
* The book ''[[Psyduck Ducks Out]]'' is partially based on this episode.<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 13: Psyduck'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* Team Rocket perform {{wp|Kabuki}}, a type of Japanese dance-drama, when they enter Koga's Gym.<br />
* Due to Koga later becoming a member of the [[Elite Four]], this is technically the first appearance of an Elite Four member in the anime.<br />
** The first appearance of a ''current'' Elite Four member would not be until ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]'', 39 episodes later.<br />
* The Gym is not located in [[Fuchsia City]] as it is in the games.<br />
* This episode was banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}, likely because of references to Japanese culture.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Whirlwind.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Bulbasaur using Whirlwind]]<br />
* {{Ash}} commands his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to use {{m|Whirlwind}}, though in the games, Bulbasaur [[Anime move errors|cannot legitimately know this move]]. <br />
** This was most likely a dubbing error, since Whirlwind is known as '''ふきとばし''' ''Blow Away'' in Japanese. Ash was most likely telling Bulbasaur to simply "blow it away" rather than the actual attack. <br />
* Koga has his Venomoth [[Move|attack]] [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] with {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which {{status|paralysis|paralyze}} it and put it to sleep, respectively. However, no Pokémon can have more than one major [[status condition]] on it at the same time.<br />
* Ash instructs his Pikachu to use "electric attack", which does not exist, while in the Japanese version he instructs it to use {{m|Thunder Shock|ThunderShock}}. This is most likely a translation error, as ThunderShock's Japanese name '''でんきショック''' means ''Electric Shock''.<br />
* Even though Ash is stuck to the wall by the throwing stars, when the camera changes to show the side of Ash's face and sleeve, the stars are missing.<br />
* The Pokédex classifies {{p|Venonat}} as the Bug Pokémon instead of the ''Insect'' Pokémon.<br />

<i>On their way to Celadon City, our heroes encounter Mankey, a wild Pokémon that if rubbed the wrong way can go into uncontrollable fits. Not realizing its unpredictability, the party accidentally upsets Mankey. To make matters worse, Team Rocket arrives and an all out war is waged by Mankey, who evolves into a ferocious Primeape, against anyone in its path. Will Ash be able to add Mankey/Primeape to his ever growing collection of Pokémon without having to withstand Primeape's unrelenting wrath?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The scene opens at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s {{TP|Professor Oak|Laboratory}} as he sips tea. The phone rings as [[Ash's Krabby]] brings it to him. {{Ash}} is on the other line as he shows off his four [[Badge]]s. Professor Oak approves, but he mentions that {{Gary}} and the others all have five [[Badge]]s and have already passed through [[Celadon City]]. It makes Ash even more furious that Gary has {{pkmn2|caught}} thirty {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Oak mentions that Ash should catch more Pokémon in order to become a better {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He ends the call, leaving Ash upset. <br />
<br />
{{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are eating [[rice ball]]s as Misty notices Ash's mood. Ash mentions how far behind he is as {{an|Brock}} points down the path to Celadon City. Misty mentions that Ash needs to get there his own way as Brock mentions quality over quantity. Pikachu notices a {{p|Mankey}} nearby as Ash checks his [[Pokédex]]. Mankey hops over Brock, wanting the rice ball. It takes it and climbs atop a rock, eating it. Ash decides to capture it by merely throwing a {{ball|Poké}} at it. Mankey throws the rice ball which the Poké Ball captures, and it then hops off, clearly angry. The Pokédex mentions that once it goes into {{m|Thrash}}, it is hard to stop. Mankey charges and everyone runs away. Brock tries to stop it by throwing it a rice ball, but it destroys it with its fist. Misty trips and it appears Mankey will attack her, but it jumps off her head to land on Ash, pounding on him. Mankey leaves Ash beaten and without his {{AP|hat}} as it climbs atop a tree and wears the hat. Nearby, {{TRT}} watches, wanting to catch Pikachu and get a promotion. {{MTR}} makes a smart remark as [[Jessie]] rolls a yarn ball at Meowth, pacifying the Pokémon. <br />
<br />
Ash gets up and notices his hat is missing. Ash confronts Mankey as the Pokémon mocks Ash, imitating him twisting his hat back and throwing the Poké Ball. Ash climbs the tree to reclaim the hat. He mentions that the hat was one he won at the [[Pokémon League]] Expo and that the hat is very rare. A commercial {{wp|flashback}} plays out and shows how rare the hat is. Misty remembers trying to win that hat, but Ash beat her by sending in "about a million postcards". Ash manages to get high enough on the tree, but Mankey jumps off, sending Ash back down. Team Rocket steps out to confront them, but Mankey checks out Team Rocket. [[James]] kicks Mankey away. Brock tells Team Rocket to leave before it whips them. Team Rocket turns, seeing the angry Pokémon [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Primeape}}. <br />
<br />
Ash checks his Pokédex about Primeape as Team Rocket decides to ignore it, sending out {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}. Primeape attacks Jessie, sending her flying face-first into a rock. She gets angry and orders the Pokémon to attack Primeape instead. Meowth, James and Jessie jump into the melee as [[Ash's friends]] drag him away. Ash notices his hat and Pikachu runs for it. Primeape beats Team Rocket and gets between Pikachu and Ash’s hat. Pikachu tries not to look at Primeape in the eye, but it eventually does, backing off as it reclaims the hat. Pikachu attacks with {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but it only makes Primeape angrier. Brock thinks Primeape is scared of them and approaches it, but it pounds on Brock and sends him flying. Primeape continues to Thrash and runs after Ash and Misty. They run away as Team Rocket pursues them as well. Ash and Misty split up, Primeape following Ash. Brock captures up with Misty as they decide to catch up to Ash. <br />
<br />
Ash keeps running as Primeape destroys boulders in its path. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sets up a pit trap in Ash's path. They see dust in the distance as Ash and Pikachu plunge in, Primeape managing to stop in time. Koffing releases gas as Ash confronts Team Rocket. Pikachu attacks with Thunder Shock, hurting Team Rocket and Ash. Ash sees Primeape as it jumps in. Ash scrambles out but Primeape jumps in front of him, staring him in the eye. Ash remembers what Oak said and decides to get serious and capture Primeape. Misty insists for Ash to forget it, but Ash wants to face it to get stronger. He sends {{AP|Squirtle}} to fire {{m|Water Gun}}, but it makes Primeape angrier. Ash sends {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Primeape punches them, destroying the leaves. Ash sends {{AP|Charmander}} out, using {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Primeape dodges before pounding on Charmander with several punches. Primeape is relentless as Charmander's flame suddenly grows. The Pokédex points the move {{m|Rage}} as Charmander gains more power. Charmander takes more punches before {{m|Bite|biting}} Primeape's fist, but it tosses the Pokémon aside. Charmander fires another Flamethrower as Pikachu jumps and grabs the hat, escaping before the attack roasts Primeape. Primeape slumps as Ash tosses the Poké Ball. Primeape goes inside as the Ball rattles. It stops, the capture an apparent success. The Ball rattles again, but it stops a second time, this time inert as Ash claims the Ball holding his {{AP|Primeape}}. <br />
<br />
Pikachu gives Ash his hat back as Team Rocket climbs out of the hole. They wonder where Primeape is as Ash throws the ball in. Primeape jumps out and pounds Team Rocket, sending them flying. Ash pets Primeape, but it gives Ash a black eye. Ash recalls his Charmander and Primeape. Pikachu points over the cliff as they see Celadon City. Misty notes that Primeape’s chase sped up the trip. Ash puts his hat on, as he is excited to get the {{Badge|Rainbow|next Badge}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket lands in a field full of angry Primeape. The Primeape pound on Team Rocket as Meowth wishes for donuts.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the movie ''{{wp|Herbie Goes Bananas}}''.<br />
* Not only does this episode reveal how Ash obtained his hat, but also that Misty entered the very same contest.<br />
* Despite Charmander learning {{m|Rage}} in this episode, it never used the move again.<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:Pockemonleag.png|thumb|right|200px|The Poké Ball with "POCKEMON LEAG" inscribed on it.]]<br />
* In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak tells Ash that Gary has caught forty-five Pokémon. However, in this episode, Professor Oak tells Ash that Gary has caught thirty Pokémon. It should be noted that this was also present in the Japanese version.<br />
* The writing on the Poké Ball in the advertisement is spelled "POCKEMON LEAG". This was not corrected in the dub, possibly as it is hard to read anyway. This misspelling of "Pokémon" as "Pockemon" is likely due to the fact that at the time of this episode's production (1997) there were no concrete plans for Pokémon's appearance to be international, and thus no standard romanization. Compare: '''ポケモン'''/'''ポケ'''ット'''モン'''スター ('''Pokémon'''/'''Pocke'''tto '''Mon'''sutā).<br />
* When Ash reaches for his hat after climbing the tree, the hat is facing backward on Mankey's head. But in the next shot where Ash is knocked to the ground, the hat is facing forward.<br />
* The half-focused eyes on Misty's face appear twice when she comments on Ash's "Donut Pokémon": both before and after her lips start moving.<br />
* The Primeape shown during the "Who's That Pokémon" segment is missing its nostrils.<br />
* When Ash throws his Poké Ball to capture Primeape, it lands and wobbles upside down. The next shot after that, it's right side up. Ash's Poké Ball continues to wobble in this position until Primeape is caught.<br />
* When Ash gets beat up by Primeape after capturing it, he commands Charmander and Primeape to return to their respective Poké Balls. At that moment, Pikachu disappears as well, but reappears just a few seconds later in the next scene overlooking [[Celadon City]].<br />
[[File:Donuts.png|200px|thumb|right|Brock and his "donuts"]]<br />
* When Ash and co. are overlooking Celadon City, Ash's hat is completely red.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits=== <br />
* Professor Oak's [[Professor Oak's lecture|senryū]]:<br />
** English: Everyday it's cake and tea/Just my Pokémon and me<br />
** Japanese: ポケモンと ようかんたべて ああおいしい ''Pokémon to, yōkan tabete, aa oishii'' "With Pokémon, eating {{wp|yōkan}} - oh, delicious."<br />
* Brock's [[rice ball]]s are called doughnut.<br />
** A pun is removed: because it is called a doughnut, the {{tt|Monster Ball|Poké Ball}}/rice ball parallel is lost.<br />
* When the narrator asks if Ash can catch up with his rivals in the dub, the original had him remembering Professor Oak's words about catching Pokémon.<br />
* Also, Ash's exaggeration about sending in a million postcards was originally one ''thousand'' postcards.<br />
** Brock's response to the above was "Poor Ash... losing an official hat is like losing your best friend". Originally, Brock said that boys really do care about silly things like their hats.<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/01_11-charmander-the-stray-pokemon/--><br />
<i>Our friends, lost, discover an injured Charmander. Pikachu talks to it and learns that it's been waiting a long time for its trainer to return.<br />
<br />
Later, at a Pokémon Center, we overhear a Trainer bragging about abandoning his Charmander. Brock and Ash confront the trainer, named Damien, who challenges them to a battle. Nurse Joy breaks things up and reminds everyone that Pokémon are not to be used for settle personal disputes.<br />
<br />
Ash, Misty, and Brock rush to retrieve the Charmander. It's not only threatened by a driving rain that could extinguish its flame, it's also under attack by a flock of Pidgeotto! Fortunately, Pikachu is able to make the Pidgeotto scatter so the Charmander could be saved.<br />
<br />
They return to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy says the Charmander requires an overnight stay.<br />
<br />
When our friends wake up the next morning, however, the Charmander is gone!<br />
<br />
Is the Charmander still loyal to the neglectful Damien? Will Damien ever learn that a Trainer must be responsible for his Pokémon? And will Team Rocket's latest trap finally succeed?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} seem to have lost their way ''en route'' to [[Vermilion City]], making {{an|Misty}} very frustrated. The group stops to consult a map that {{an|Brock}} has unfolded, and Ash determines that—while they are currently in the middle of nowhere—the trail they are following intersects {{rt|24|Kanto}}, which in turn leads straight to Vermilion City. Brock, satisfied with how they must proceed, puts the map away. But, as they move to leave, a large shadow suddenly falls across their path, causing them to look up in alarm.<br />
<br />
With the sunlight shining directly into their eyes, the source of the shadow manifests itself as the impossibly large silhouette of a Pokémon. Ash quickly orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to get ready, but it has other ideas and takes cover behind the group. Just as he begins to rebuke his Pokémon the sunlight's intensity dims, revealing a {{p|Charmander}} sitting upon a rock as having cast the shadow.<br />
<br />
After checking his [[Pokédex]], Ash is happy that he finally got a chance to catch a Charmander. Brock points out how weak its tail flame is, and that it probably needs help. Ash throws a {{ball|Poké}} at it, but the Charmander whacks it back with its tail. Ash asks if Pikachu should weaken it first, but Misty suggests she try, because her {{type|water}} Pokémon would help. Brock still doesn't think it is that strong because of its small flame, and suggests that Ash try again.<br />
<br />
Ash throws the Poké Ball again, and this time it pulls the Charmander in. However, it breaks out quickly, which causes the Poké Ball to conk off Ash's head. They are surprised by how much spunk the Charmander is showing. "A little too much, if you ask me," is Ash's comment.<br />
<br />
Pikachu climbs up onto the rock and talks to the Charmander. It then comes back down and puts on a charades display. Ash eventually figures out that what Pikachu is saying is that Charmander is waiting on the rock for someone else to come pick him up. Brock decides that if it belongs to someone else, it is best to leave it. Ash and his friends leave.<br />
<br />
Farther down the trail, Ash and his friends discover the [[Pokémon Center]] that is on the map. Ash declares that Route 24 can't be far now. And they couldn't have found it at a better time, as it soon starts to rain, forcing them all to race quickly down to the Pokémon center.<br />
<br />
A brief scene shows the Charmander still on the rock, vainly trying to protect its tail flame from the rain with a leaf (as it will die if its flame goes out). Back at the Pokémon Center, Misty is serving up some soup, but Brock is still worried about the Charmander. Ash points out that there's no way the Charmander would have waited around that long. Brock agrees, stating that the Trainer surely would have gotten it by now.<br />
<br />
However, they hear laughter nearby, and look over to see a Trainer named [[Damian]] surrounded by a group of hanger-ons. They are awing over his Pokémon collection, which is pretty sizable, when one of them asks if he has a Charmander too. Damian reveals he did, but since it was so weak, he left it on a rock out in the middle of the woods promising to return for it, which he had and still has no intention of doing.<br />
<br />
Ash and his friends realize that it must have been his Charmander they saw and that based on Damian's description of Charmander's loyalty to him, it must still be waiting on the rock. This pushes the normally calm Brock over the edge, and he stands up and makes his way over to Damian. While they continue to laugh about how the Charmander is probably still waiting, Brock confronts Damian, telling him to go get the Charmander.<br />
<br />
Damian pushes him off, but Ash and Misty soon arrive to back up Brock. The argument almost escalates to a [[Pokémon battle]], but [[Nurse Joy]] breaks it up, saying Pokémon should never be used in personal battles. Damian and his crew leave, and Joy warns Ash, Misty and Brock about their bad reputation. Brock spaces out in his usual fashion, but Ash and Misty snap him out of it by reminding him about the Charmander.<br />
<br />
The three race back through the pouring rain towards the rock where the Charmander is, only to find it is now having worse problems than the weather. A gang of {{p|Spearow}} attack it, and Ash tries to drive them off by throwing a rock at them, but this only causes them to attack him and his friends. Ash orders a {{m|ThunderShock}} from Pikachu, and it obeys, scaring off the Spearow. Unfortunately, its ThunderShock inadvertently zaps Ash, Misty, and Brock too.<br />
<br />
They quickly wrap Charmander up in their rain coats, Ash volunteering to make sure its tail flame stays lit. Then they race back to the Pokémon Center, and ask Nurse Joy to help.<br />
<br />
Nurse Joy is angry at Ash and his friends, wondering how they could have let the Charmander get into such bad shape. But Ash explains that it was Damian that left the Charmander out there, taking advantage of Charmander's loyalty. Brock pleads with Nurse Joy to save the Charmander, and she promises to do whatever she can.<br />
<br />
From there, there is nothing they can do but wait. A montage of scenes show the three waiting, while Brock silently pleads for Charmander to hang on. Nurse Joy soon comes out, though, and reports success. The Charmander has pulled through, and it will be fine by morning.<br />
<br />
When morning comes, Ash and Misty are asleep on couches in the lobby, Pikachu asleep below. Ash rolls over, causing his blanket to drop onto Pikachu. Suddenly, Brock shouts, causing Ash to crash off the couch. It turns out Charmander has disappeared from the ER.<br />
<br />
Ash is certain that the Charmander has simply gone back to the rock. Brock wants to go after it again, but Misty points out that it is no use. Even though Damian is a jerk, the Charmander is still loyal to him, and nothing is likely to change that. They can't force Charmander to go with them if it doesn't want to.<br />
<br />
A scene shows Charmander on its way back to the rock, stopping long enough to look back at the Pokémon Center. Ash and friends are soon on their way as well, Brock still disappointed. Ash points out that Charmander knew they cared about it, but it couldn't forget about Damian. Misty then slaps Brock, saying that Route 24 is just ahead, and there would be plenty of Pokémon once they get to Vermilion City.<br />
<br />
Up ahead, {{TRT}} is grouped around [[Team Rocket's mechas|their newest mecha]]. They go into a dancing version of their {{motto}}, but {{MTR}} cuts in early. They declare they now had a foolproof plan to capture Pikachu, and they start up their "automatic super-duper high-speed whatchamacallit," which turns out to be an over glorified hole driller.<br />
<br />
Meowth flips, saying they [[EP005|tried this already]], but James assures Meowth that, this time, they'll remember where the hole is. They go to work covering the hole, and when Meowth asks if they were sure, Jessie responds, "Don't you think we're smarter than that?." Meowth replies with a face fault. Suddenly, he sees Ash and Co. coming, and alerts the others. They quickly hide, and Jessie orders the mecha to hide itself as well.<br />
<br />
Pikachu comes up to the hole and walks right over it. It seems that Pikachu was too light to trigger the pitfall. Jessie and James argues over who blew it this time, until Meowth shuts them up with {{m|Fury Swipes|scratches}} to the face. Ash, Brock, and Misty, being a lot heavier, end up triggering the pitfall and fall into the hole.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket then appear, laughing at the fact that their trap worked. Pikachu tries to shock them, but they are dressed in rubber uniforms that don't conduct electricity. Pikachu tries to make a break for it, but they fire the Anti-Pikachu Rubber Balloon Bazooka, which eventually catches Pikachu and traps it inside.<br />
<br />
Ash realizes that Pikachu is in trouble. So he quickly tries to climb out of the pit, but fails. He tries to get Misty and Brock to get him up, but finds he is standing on them. Team Rocket gloats for a while, and turn to leave, but at that moment Charmander steps in their way.<br />
<br />
Charmander, as translated by Meowth, orders them to give Pikachu back to Ash and the others. Team Rocket naturally refuse, and warn the Charmander to beat it or else. The Charmander responds by closing its eyes, focusing hard, and unleashing a massive {{m|Flamethrower}}, which roasts Team Rocket. <br />
<br />
They drop the Pikachu balloon and run like crazy. James screams, "Didn't I tell you we needed fireproof uniforms?!" Jessie tells him to keep running. "Some geniuses", says a despondent Meowth. Team Rocket are "blasting off again" by running off, much to the surprise of Damian, who had not realized Charmander was so powerful.<br />
<br />
Ash, Misty, and Brock, having gotten out of the pit, thank Charmander for its help, and Ash asks Charmander if it wants to come along with them. However, Damian shows up, saying he has come back for Charmander, "just as he promised". Ash is angry, saying he was just bragging about how he abandoned Charmander, but Damian laughs, saying it toughened him up. He adds, "Besides, what's wrong with dumping off a weak Pokémon?"<br />
<br />
Charmander seems to be taking exception to most of these statements, but Damian goes on about not even having to make Charmander tough himself. Brock angrily replies that raising a Pokémon is the best part of being a Trainer, but Damian calls it the most boring part. Finally, Damian, having had enough talk, flings a Poké Ball at Charmander. The Charmander, realizing that Damian neither cares nor respects it, whacks the ball right back into Damian's face.<br />
<br />
Damian is now furious, and attempts to crush Charmander with every Pokémon he has, but Charmander turns its Flamethrower against him. Pikachu adds a ThunderShock of its own, and the utterly scorched and fried Damian runs off crying. The others cheer Charmander for its choice.<br />

Brock tells Ash to go ahead and catch Charmander. Ash protests at first, but Brock convinces him that Ash will raise Charmander to be a great Pokémon. Ash accepts Brock's decision, and takes his opportunity throws a Poké Ball, which Charmander dives into for an easy catch. With a new Pokémon, and a new friend, Ash and friends continue on their way to Vermilion City.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This is the first episode that credits Izumi Shimura as an animation director.<br />
* This is the second episode of a three-episode arc where Ash catches each of [[Kanto]]'s [[starter Pokémon]].<br />
* Damian is shown to be carrying around twenty [[Poké Ball]]s, all allegedly containing Pokémon; however, it is later established that a Trainer can only carry six Pokémon at a time in their party, just like in the games. This may be because he wasn't shown to have a [[Pokédex]]; therefore, he is not forced to use the storage system.<br />
* This is the first episode mentioning that Pokémon could die.<br />
* It is revealed in this episode that using a {{pkmn|battle}} to settle a personal argument is frowned upon, and that Pokémon battles are not supposed to occur in [[Pokémon Center]]s. Ironically, [[Generation IV]]'s {{v|Platinum}} introduces the concept of battling Trainers in Pokémon Centers.<br />
* This is the first episode that Meowth translates a Pokémon's speech.<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 9: Charmander'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP011 error.png|thumb|200px|The missing "Zs"]]<br />
* When Ash and his friends rush up to the rock to get a closer look at the shady Pokémon, the "Zs" underneath Ash's eyes disappear.<br />
* Charmander's eye shape changes to resemble that of a Charizard whenever zoomed in upon.<br />
* After Nurse Joy stops running, two extra footsteps are heard.<br />
* When Pikachu is running from Team Rocket's balloon, his feet have pads.<br />
* The blurb mistakenly refers to Spearow as ''Pidgeotto''.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* In the original Japanese version, Damian mentions to his friends that Charmander was so weak that it couldn't defeat a {{p|Poliwag}}. The English version changes it into the weakest opponents, which created a dialog error when Brock immediately remarks Charmander is naturally weak against Water-type Pokémon.<br />

'''Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village''' (Japanese: '''かくれざとのフシギダネ''' ''{{tt|Fushigidane|Bulbasaur}} of the Hidden Village'') is the tenth episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 3, 1997 and in the United States on September 21, 1998. <br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/01_10-bulbasaur-and-the-hidden-village/--><br />
<i>Ash and Misty, while arguing, discover an Oddish. As Misty's Starmie weakens the Oddish, a Bulbasaur appears and fights Starmie while the Oddish runs off into the woods. Ash jumps in with his Butterfree, but the Bulbasaur is able to escape in the direction of the Oddish.<br />
<br />
Our heroes cross a river over a rope bridge that snaps, sending Brock into the river below. As Misty, Ash, and Pikachu hunt for Brock, they set off a couple of traps, finally landing in a net that hangs from a tree!<br />
<br />
Fortunately, Brock shows up to cut them down, then brings them to meet a woman named Melanie, who takes care of wounded Pokémon like the Oddish—and sets traps to defend the Pokémon from poachers. The Bulbasaur, we learn, acts as a kind of bodyguard.<br />
<br />
Misty apologizes to the Oddish for attacking it earlier, but the Bulbasaur is still hostile because it dislikes Trainers. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has discovered the area and plans to snatch the weak Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Will Team Rocket have an advantage against Pokémon that are wounded and unable to defend themselves? And will that Bulbasaur ever warm up to Ash and his friends?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are wandering through the forest without a compass, trying to find the path to [[Vermilion City]]. {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} are fighting as usual, this time over who led them astray, while {{an|Brock}} tries to get them to cool down.<br />
<br />
They pause for a rest, and Ash sees an {{p|Oddish}} taking a drink. Misty sends her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to fight the Oddish so she can {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} it. The Oddish is defeated, but Misty's {{ball|Poké}} is deflected by the appearance of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} before she can claim it. The Bulbasaur attacks and defeats the Starmie; Ash sends his {{AP|Butterfree}} after the Bulbasaur with a {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack, but the Bulbasaur blows the powder back at Butterfree. Both the Oddish and the Bulbasaur run off into the underbrush.<br />
<br />
The trio attempt to cross a rope bridge, but a wind starts to rip the bridge apart. Brock falls into the river below, while Misty and Pikachu cling to Ash. Ash ultimately manages to pull them up, and the three make their way to the end of the bridge. They make their way down to water level and go looking for Brock. At once, Misty falls through a dead fall into a pit. Ash pulls her out, and they go on looking. As they walk along, Misty's toe catches a rope, and they find themselves suspended in a net. They are found in this state by the Bulbasaur.<br />
<br />
{{TRT}} appears, looking for a village across the bridge.<br />
<br />
Ash speculates that Brock has been washed to sea and shanghaied by pirates; moments later, Brock appears and cuts them down. Brock relates his experience in the river; he was rescued from the rapids by an "incredibly beautiful" girl. Brock takes them to a village and introduces them to the girl, [[Melanie]].<br />
<br />
Ash and Misty notice the large number of Pokémon in the village and wonder if they belong to Melanie. Brock explains that this [[Hidden Village]] is a place for abandoned or injured Pokémon to come to rest and relax. Melanie cares for them until they're better, then they leave. Melanie collects plants to use for medicine, though she says she's unqualified to be a Pokémon doctor. Misty teases Brock for falling in love with Melanie; he reacts a little violently, fearing Melanie might overhear.<br />
<br />
Melanie explains that she set the traps they fell into to prevent [[Pokémon Trainer]]s from reaching the village. She is trying to protect the injured Pokémon from being captured while they are too ill to escape.<br />
<br />
[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} try to cross the remains of the bridge, but it collapses under them, dumping them into the river.<br />
<br />
Brock promises Melanie they wouldn't capture any of the Pokémon in the village; Misty asks if he sealed the promise with a kiss, and Brock thumps her hard on the top of her head. Misty agrees anyway, saying, "Only bad guys try to capture sick Pokémon." Ash worries if the traps are enough to keep robbers away, saying, "You'd have to be pretty stupid to fall into one of those holes." The camera cuts to Team Rocket as Jessie says, "That's the third hole we've fallen into!" They do get out, only to immediately get caught in a net.<br />
<br />
Brock and Ash tend to a {{p|Staryu}}, while Misty apologizes to the Oddish. She and Ash begin quarreling, and the Bulbasaur tackles Misty, thinking Oddish is in danger. Melanie explains that Bulbasaur has volunteered to protect the whole village. Bulbasaur tries to push Ash out of the village because it doesn't trust Pokémon Trainers. Ash wishes he had a Pokémon that brave.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket appears from behind a cloud, standing on a balloon-lifted platform, and recite their {{motto|mantra}}. They land in a clearing outside the village, and try to collect all the Pokémon in the village with a massive vacuum. Brock herds everyone into the cabin, but Oddish gets caught in the suction. Bulbasaur rescues Oddish with its {{m|Vine Whip}}, and Ash helps block the wind so it can carry Oddish to the cabin. The vacuum starts to actually pull the roof off the cabin, so Bulbasaur uses its vine whips to smack the hose around. Ash releases his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} with instructions to start a {{m|Gust}} attack. The resultant tornado tosses Team Rocket and their platform into the distance.<br />
<br />
Melanie asks Ash to take the Bulbasaur with him; the village is too small for its bulb to grow. She says the Pokémon are staying in the village too long, because the Bulbasaur has done too good a job of protecting them. She feels Ash will be a good Trainer for Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur agrees to go with Ash, on condition that they battle first. Ash sends Pikachu, and the two trade rams. Bulbasaur uses its vine whips to toss Pikachu around, but Ash calls for a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which shocks Bulbasaur into submission, allowing Ash to [[Ash's Bulbasaur|catch it]]. Brock offers to stay and help, but Melanie refuses, telling him to continue on his adventures.<br />

* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 7: Bulbasaur'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />

* When Ash and his friends sit on the rock, the back of Ash's cap is white.<br />
* After Ash fails to catch Bulbasaur, the pupils in Misty's eyes are missing. This also happened when Ash was commanding Butterfree.<br />
* When Ash sends out {{AP|Butterfree}}, both halves of the Poké Ball are colored red.<br />
* Ash's gloves turn completely lime green after he pulls Misty, Pikachu and himself up from the broken bridge.<br />
* When Misty falls into the hole a zoomed out picture is shown of her and Ash staring, in which Ash's gloves are again missing.<br />
* After being released from the net trap by Brock, Ash's gloves disappeared.<br />
* When {{TRT}} falls down into a hole, {{MTR}}'s lower body turns darker.<br />
* When Team Rocket got caught in the net, Meowth's ears were light brown.<br />
* When Brock bonks Misty on the head for making fun of him liking Melanie, Ash is missing his gloves.<br />
* After Team Rocket's {{motto}}, James's gloves are missing.<br />
* Before Ash helps Bulbasaur by pushing it, part of its bulb disappears.<br />
* When Pikachu and Bulbasaur speak before their battle, their lips don't move.<br />
* After Ash captures Bulbasaur, Melanie's shirt is a darker shade of red.<br />
* When Ash and Misty get caught in the net, the orange and white stripes on Ash's backpack disappears.<br />
* In the beginning when an up close shot of Pikachu is shown, Brock's shoes are gray.<br />
* Ash's shoes are completely white before Pikachu and Bulbasaur battle.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* The exchange between Ash and Misty at the bridge is altered: In the dub version, Ash is losing confidence, and Misty encourages him, whereas in the original version Ash says Misty is far too heavy, and Misty berates Ash for implying that she's fat.<br />
* Another different exchange is when they are caught in the net and are obviously cramped. In the dub, Ash attempts to break out of the net and Misty tells him his plan isn't working; and in the Japanese version, Ash attempts to break the net but the shaking of the net starts when Misty tells Ash his attempts to break out are leading to him touching her in inappropriate places. <br />
* Also, when Ash is guessing about what has happened to Brock, he speculates that he was picked up by pirates in the dub, while in the original he guesses that he was picked up by an ugly old hag washing clothes in the river.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/01_07-the-water-flowers-of-cerulean-city/--><br />
<i>Ash seeks the Cascade badge in Cerulean City—but for some reason, Misty doesn't want to join them. When Ash and Brock show up, the city is buzzing about a break-in that just took place—and are initially accused of the crime! (We see Team Rocket commit the robbery, but no one else knows about their involvement yet.)<br />
<br />
Ash and Pikachu arrive at the Cerulean City gym, which resembles an aquarium with an Olympic-sized swimming pool. They see a water show performed by the Sensational Cerulean City Synchronized Swimming Sisters. Later on, Ash learns that the sisters are actually the Gym Leaders. He challenges them, but they don't feel like battling and instead offer him the Cascade Badge without a fight.<br />
<br />
It looks like Ash will have his Cascade Badge without breaking a sweat...but then a fourth Gym Leader step up! Who is this mysterious Gym Leader? What does Team Rocket plan to do with the stuff they stole? And where's Misty?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Excited about winning his {{Badge|Boulder}}, {{Ash}} can't wait to get to [[Cerulean City]] to battle for his {{Badge|Cascade}}. For some reason, though, {{an|Misty}} seems to be trying to avoid entering Cerulean, and tries unsuccessfully to convince the others to go to [[Vermilion City]] instead. She leaves Ash and {{an|Brock}} as they enter the city.<br />
<br />
When Ash and Brock enter the city, they see a big crowd of people in a circle surrounding a building. When they get to the front they see [[Officer Jenny]], and she accuses Ash and Brock of being the criminals. When they prove their innocence, she lets them go, and sent the rest of the crowd away. After that, they sit on a bench and Ash asks Brock for inside information on the [[Gym Leader]]. Brock tells him that as a Gym Leader, he cannot give out that information. Then Brock says to him, "I have some stuff I need to check out". They split up, and Ash heads to the [[Cerulean Gym]] alone.<br />
<br />
When Ash reaches the Gym, he finds three sisters performing underwater. Ash confronts the girls backstage, finds out that they are the Gym Leaders, and challenges them to a battle. The girls, ({{ka|Lily}}, {{an|Daisy}}, and [[Violet]]) explain that their Pokémon are too tired to battle, and offer to give Ash the Badge without a battle. Ash is about to take it when Misty appears and challenges him.<br />
<br />
It turns out that Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters]], but they call her "the runt". After Misty argues with her sisters, she challenges Ash to an official Cerulean Gym battle with rules of 2 on 2. Ash tries to send out {{AP|Pikachu}}, but he refuses to go into battle because he doesn't want to hurt Misty or her Pokémon. So instead Ash sends out {{AP|Butterfree}} to battle Misty's {{p|Staryu}}. After a quick battle, Butterfree gets knocked into the water, causing it to lose the battle. After that Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and Ash sends out {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Pidgeotto uses {{m|Whirlwind}} on Starmie, but it jumps into the water and attacks Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto uses {{m|Gust}}, causing Starmie to hit the wall. Just as Ash is about to win the battle, {{TRT}} interrupts and tries to steal all the Water Pokémon and the water from the Gym using a giant vacuum machine. <br />
<br />
While Team Rocket's vacuum is sucking up the Water Pokémon, it sucks in Pikachu as well. He releases a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which explodes the machine, sending Team Rocket flying. After Team Rocket is gone, Daisy gives Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}}. Misty tries to argue, but her sisters convince her that if Ash had used Pikachu from the start, he would have easily beaten all of her water Pokémon. Misty agrees with her sisters and claims that when she comes back from her journey with Ash she will be a great Trainer. Brock then meets Ash outside of the Gym, and together they all head for Vermilion City.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* This is [[Ted Lewis]]'s last full episode voicing James. He will be replaced by [[Eric Stuart]] towards the end of the next episode.<br />
* This episode has led many fans to believe that {{an|Misty}}'s last name is Waterflower. In actuality, the words "water flowers" used in the title are merely a {{wp|metaphor}} used to describe the three sisters' grace and beauty, and their own names come from flower species.<br />
* It's implied in this episode that a Gym Badge serves as a secondary ID for a Trainer, or a primary ID for a Gym Leader, as Brock used his Boulder Badge to clear his name in regards to accusations of being a criminal, whereas Ash used his Pokédex as his method of clearing his name.<br />
* This episode begins the gag where Brock becomes immediately infatuated by almost every girl he sees, as he asks Officer Jenny out.<br />
** This episode is also the first episode where Brock is turned down by a girl.<br />
* {{an|Brock}}'s absence during the episode is never explained, fueling much fan speculation.<br />
* This is the second time [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real animals]] are shown. Fish are seen behind the glass when Ash walks into the aquarium.<br />
* During this episode, the [[Cerulean Gym]] initially offers Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} without a fight. This is the first time the [[Cerulean Gym]] was shown surrendering a Badge without a fight, the second being when {{ho|Jimmy}} challenges the Cerulean Gym in ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]''. Instead of a battle, his Badge was awarded by {{an|Daisy}} for cleaning the pool. The sisters imply situations like these were very common when the Gym was under their leadership in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.<br />
** This was the only Gym which had ever offered Ash a Badge without a fight until ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''.<br />
* The book ''[[Splashdown in Cerulean City]]'' is partially based on this episode.<br />
* This episode is tied for the shortest time ever between two episodes where Ash has obtained a Badge, having earned his previous Badge only two episodes earlier. The next time this happens is between ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'' and ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''<br />
* This is Ash's only Gym battle where he didn't use a [[starter Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* In the Spanish dub, when Misty's sister calls for Seel, she said "See-al".<br />
* In one scene, a part of Pikachu's right ear is missing, making his left ear look longer than his right.<br />
* Ash's [[Pokédex]] only shows Staryu's bottom and right ring. However, throughout the battle, it is shown to only have these rings.<br />
* When Team Rocket is coming out of their tank, the front part of Ash's hat is white.<br />
* When Pikachu electrocutes Team Rocket the edge of Meowth's ears are shown to be white when in fact they should be black.<br />
* When the recap of the last episode is shown, in the dub, the sign is shown to be written in Japanese.<br />
* When [[Team Rocket]] is coming out of thier tank, [[James]] is holding a light blue rose instead of red<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* The outside of the store Team Rocket looted simply says "マシーン" (machine) in the Japanese version, while it says "MACHINE SHOP INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES ALL MAKES AND MODELS" in the dub. The next shot replaces "ルーム" (room) with "LS".<br />
* Like the Pewter Gym, the "Hanada Gym" sign is changed to "Cerulean Gym".<br />
* When Ash's Pokédex reads Staryu, it classifies the Pokémon as a hermaphrodite. Ash calls this strange, and Misty tells him it shouldn't matter who someone falls in love with. In the English dub, the Pokédex makes no mention of Staryu's gender and instead comments on its shining core, which is sold as a type of jewelry. Ash now remarks that it's typical of a girl to "show off her jewelery", to which Misty responds by telling him to "quit stalling".<br />

<i>At Mount Moon, our friends rescue a scientist named Seymour from a batch of Zubat. (Along the way, Brock is able to catch one of the Zubat.) Seymour leads Ash and his friends into a cave to find the legendary Moon Stone, which is said to increase the power of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Deep in the cave, Ash spots a Clefairy carrying a Moon Stone. He considers capturing it, but Seymour tells him Clefairy prefer to live at Mount Moon. Ash decides to leave the Clefairy in peace, but Team Rocket shows up with plans of their own!<br />
<br />
Will Team Rocket steal the Moon Stone? Are there other Clefairy lurking about, and do they carry Moon Stones, too? And is the legend of the Moon Stone true?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} are hiking toward [[Mt. Moon]], talking about the legend of a meteor called the "{{evostone|Moon Stone}}". Apparently, the Moon Stone crashed into the mountain in prehistoric times. Near the foot of the mountain, they encounter a man being attacked by a flock of {{p|Zubat}}. [[Pokédex|Dexter]] reports that Zubat live in caves and hate to {{m|fly}} outside in daylight.<br />
<br />
Misty reminds Ash that the man needs help, and Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}. The Zubat fly away, and the man, who is wearing a lab coat, hugs Ash and thanks him profusely. He introduces himself as [[Seymour]], a scientist. He is upset because someone has installed strung lights inside the nearby cave that are disrupting the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who live inside—not just the Zubat, but the {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} as well. <br />
<br />
Seymour explains that he believes that the attackers are after the Moon Stone. He says that it is a massive boulder, believed to be a million years old or more, and hidden deep in the caves under the mountain. Fragments of the Stone are said to increase a Pokémon's power. Seymour theorizes that this is because the native Pokémon came from outer space, and the Moon Stone was their spacecraft—which means the Stone belongs to the Pokémon, and that the humans must leave it alone. At that moment, a {{p|Clefairy}} bounces past, carrying something. Ash scans it on his Pokédex and decides to catch it, but Seymour says it's better to let it be. The Clefairy is trapped by {{MTR}}, who is in turn challenged by Ash. Brock and Ash agree that they have to stop {{TRT}}, before they make any more trouble.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket freely admits to putting up the lights; Meowth even reveals their plan to steal the Moon Stone. Ash and Brock challenge Jessie and James, resulting in a battle pitting [[Jessie's Ekans]] and [[James's Koffing]] against [[Ash's Butterfree]] and Brock's new {{TP|Brock|Zubat}}, caught at the entrance to the cave.<br />
<br />
James orders Koffing to generate a {{m|Smog}} attack. Ash counters with Butterfree's {{m|Whirlwind}}, and Brock asks Zubat to use {{m|Double Team}}; the two Pokémon turn the Smog back on Team Rocket, much to their surprise. The four Pokémon exchange attacks, culminating in a {{m|Supersonic}} attack from Zubat and a {{m|Whirlwind}} from Butterfree that send Team Rocket blasting off again - without Meowth.<br />
<br />
Misty and Seymour had been following the Clefairy, which makes its way out of the cave. They follow it up the mountain, where Meowth is waiting for them and demands that he be given the Moon Stone. Misty summons her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} by dropping its {{ball|Poké}} into the river. Without much trouble, Staryu sends Meowth blasting off as well.<br />
<br />
Brock feeds all the Pokémon with {{DL|Pokémon food|In the anime|Pokémon food}} made according to his own special recipe. Seymour tastes it and deems it "not bad;" Ash follows suit and finds it awful. Meanwhile, Clefairy and Pikachu are having a conversation on a nearby rock. They hop away, followed by the rest of the group.<br />
<br />
They arrive at another cave, where they find the huge core of the Moon Stone. Clefairy adds its stone to the ring at the base of the core, which completes the "circuit". All the small stones, then the large core, begin to glow blue in the moonlight. Dozens of Clefairy approach and begin to dance around the Moon Stone, praying to it. Seymour states that humans are supposed to ride the Stone back out to the stars, but his epiphany is interrupted by the return of Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
Seymour attacks Team Rocket to keep them from the Stone, but he is unsuccessful and loses his glasses. Ash attacks with Pikachu, while Brock summons {{TP|Brock|Onix}}; as usual, Jessie and James call on Ekans and Koffing. Jessie orders a {{m|Dig}} attack, and James orders a {{m|SmokeScreen}}. Ash then summons {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and orders it to {{m|Whirlwind}} the smoke away. When the smoke clears, Team Rocket is gone, and the Moon Stone with them. Brock orders Onix to {{m|Dig}} and follow Team Rocket underground, while the humans and other Pokémon run through the caves. One of the Clefairy retrieves Seymour's glasses for him.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket is sliding downhill with the Stone on a sled. Onix appears suddenly, upsetting the sled. Onix attempts to {{m|Tackle}} Team Rocket, but Koffing counters, and both Pokémon fall to the ground. At that moment, Seymour and the Clefairy appear from Onix's tunnel. The Clefairy use a {{m|Metronome}} attack to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} the humans, and then they follow up with what appears to be a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, sending Team Rocket flying off once more.<br />
<br />
Chips of the Moon Stone drift down from the sky; as they fall on the Clefairy, many of the Clefairy [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Clefable}}. Seymour stays with the Clefairy and Clefable, hoping to someday visit outer space with them. <br />
<br />
Following the night's events, Ash, Misty, and Brock move on toward [[Cerulean City]]. Gary had left graffiti on a sign stating, "Gary was here! Ash is a loser!" Seeing it, Ash takes off down the road at a run as the episode ends.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* This is the first episode to feature a [[Double Battle]], although Double Battles were not introduced until the third generation.<br />
* The twinkling star that normally appears when Team Rocket blasts off out of view makes its first appearance in this episode.<br />
* This is the first episode to feature [[Evolutionary stone|stone-induced]] [[evolution]]s.<br />
* Several scenes in the episode, including the Team Rocket motto, were shown in ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP006 error.png|thumb|200px|right|Ash's missing glove]]<br />
* When Ash commands Butterfree to Whirlwind away the Smog, Brock commands his Zubat to use Double Team, yet it uses Whirlwind as well. This is presumably an error in translating from Japanese where Brock ordered Zubat to "team up" with Butterfree.<br />
* When Jessie and James release Koffing and Ekans in Mt. Moon, the button on the Poké Ball is attached to the white half of the Ball instead of the red half.<br />
* In the dub, when Ekans dives underground, the voice of its evolved form, Arbok, can be heard.<br />
* While reading the sign pointing to [[Cerulean City]], Ash is missing a glove.<br />
* In the very first scene Clefairy is shown in, Brock's belt is colored green.<br />
<br />
===Changes===<br />
====Dub edits====<br />
* The recap scenes at the beginning edited Nibi Gym to [[Pewter Gym]].<br />
* While the [[narrator]]'s statement was mostly the same in the beginning scene, it skips over the fact that they are heading to Cerulean City in the dub.<br />
* Seymour states he was working for the {{tt|Nibi|Pewter City}} Museum in the Japanese version. This was not mentioned in the dub.<br />
* Seymour talks about romance in the Japanese version, while he recites poetry in the English version.<br />
* Seymour's two main virtues are changed from Love and Courage (original) to Knowledge and Research (dub). When he announces the virtues, the Japanese version has them written in the background. The dub erased all of the kanji from the English version.<br />
* Ash makes a reference to the {{wp|Macarena (song)|Macarena}} when Pikachu uses {{wp|charades}} to speak to him. The original line references the {{wp|Bon Festival|Bon Dance}}.<br />
** In the original version, they stated that the Clefairy were protecting their god, referring to the large Moon Stone. Though the general gist of the dialog remained in the dub, the fact that the Moon Stone was seen by the Clefairy as a deity was not referenced.<br />
* "Cerulean City" is translated on the sign directing towards it. Gary's message changes from "Shigeru is the best! Satoshi is an idiot!" to "Gary was here! Ash is a loser!". Also, it had Gary's transparent image superimposed over the sign. It showed him pulling down his eyelid and sticking his tongue out at the same time, a childish Japanese taunting gesture (an ''{{wp|akanbe}}''), which was eliminated from the English dub.<br />
<br />
====Differences between the episode and the comic adaptation====<br />
* Most of the lines about Seymour going to space, specifically Ash and {{ashfr}}' responses to him, were moved to when they are leaving Mt. Moon in the comic.<br />
* The scene where Ash reads Gary's message on the sign leading to Cerulean City retains Gary's faded bii-da facial expression, something that was cut in the English dub of the episode.<br />
* The ending narration for the comic (at least the one contained in Nintendo Power) was also changed, where the narrator adds in that to continue Ash's adventure, the reader might try to buy Pokémon Red and Blue. In addition, Misty exclaims "ASH!" offscreen as Ash is racing towards Cerulean City while leaving Brock and Misty in the dust, and Brock's line of "He'll never learn..." is moved to his racing down.<br />

<i>Jessie, James, and Meowth dig a trap for our heroes, but they end up falling into it themselves!<br />
<br />
Ash and Misty arrive at Pewter City and meet a curious fellow named Flint, who notices that Pikachu is tired and shows them the way to the Pokémon Center.<br />
<br />
At the Pokémon Center, Ash reads a poster promoting the Pokémon League Regional Championships—to compete, you have to beat gym leaders from various towns and win their badges. Ash challenges the Pewter City Gym Leader, Brock, but even a healed Pikachu has no chance against Brock's Rock-type Pokémon. Later, Flint shows Ash a surprising side of Brock—when he's not battling and raising Pokémon, he has to take care of his ten brothers and sisters.<br />
<br />
Will this news affect Ash's desire to battle Brock again for the Rock Badge? Who is this Flint guy, and why does he insist on helping Ash train Pikachu for the rematch? And will Team Rocket ever climb out of that hole?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode begins with {{TRT}} digging a hole, falling into it as soon as they forget where it was dug. Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} reach the edge of [[Viridian Forest]] and arrive on the outskirts of [[Pewter City]]. Ash is tired enough that he decides to take a rest on some conveniently placed rocks. However, a nearby man tells him that there is a fee for sitting on the rocks. His name is {{ka|Flint}}, and he is trying to sell rocks as souvenirs. Neither Ash nor Misty is interested.<br />
<br />
Ash, Misty, and Pikachu head to the [[Pokémon Center]], where Ash is surprised to encounter [[Nurse Joy]]. She explains that she is not the [[Viridian City]] Joy as Ash was obviously inclined to believe, but her older sister. She then shows Ash a poster promoting a tournament called the [[Pokémon League]] Championship and he decides to sign up. Before he can enter, however, he needs to defeat eight Pokémon [[Gym Leader]]s and earn from each a [[Badge|Gym Badge]] as proof of his victory. Flint walks in at this point and tells Ash about Pewter City's Gym Leader, {{an|Brock}}. He is openly skeptical of Ash's chances of winning, and laughs scornfully at the very thought of it. Later, when Misty warns Ash of Gym Leaders' prodigious skill and offers him advice, she becomes angry when he declines.<br />
<br />
Ash stops by the Pokémon Center again to pick up his healed [[Party|team]] before making his way to the [[Pewter Gym]]. When he arrives, he meets the Gym Leader, Brock, and challenges him to a battle. In the Pewter Gym, battles are two against two.<br />
<br />
Ash begins the match with Pikachu while Brock starts off with {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Pikachu is intimidated by the giant Pokémon and doesn't want to battle, but Ash responds by telling Pikachu that this is his battle. Pikachu;s {{m|Thunder Shock}} is woefully ineffective and Brock commands Onix to counter with {{m|Bind}}. It begins to crush Pikachu, inflicting very visible pain. This prompts Ash to recall Pikachu, only to have the attempt thwarted by the larger Pokémon's bulk. Ash cannot bear to watch his friend suffer any more agony, and he forfeits the match.<br />
<br />
As the dejected Ash leaves the Gym, he encounters Flint, who suggests that Ash follow him to his home. Ash agrees, and, over a batch of tea, they discuss what happened in the Gym. Flint notices that Ash is obviously upset over his loss, so he consoles him with the knowledge that Brock could be an even better Trainer than he already is. Ash becomes confused by this, but Flint refuses to elaborate. Instead, he leads Ash outside and gestures across the way to another house. The two watch as Brock, in a pink apron, cares for his {{Brocksib|nine little brothers and sisters}}. As they walk away, Flint explains that after Brock's good-for-nothing father left home to become a Pokémon Trainer, his heartbroken mother abandoned them, leaving the eldest child, Brock to take care of his siblings. Ash feels sympathy for Brock, but is determined to defeat him nonetheless. Flint recognizes Ash's determination and mentions that he might know of a way Ash can super-charge Pikachu.<br />
<br />
Flint and Ash travel to a hydro-electric plant where Flint hooks up the generator to the electric sacs in Pikachu's cheeks. As the river is bone-dry, Ash must run on a large water wheel to generate the electricity, which flows into Pikachu. Misty shows up and offers to lend Ash her {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but Ash refuses, wanting to defeat Brock with his own team. He continues charging Pikachu until the generator overloads and Pikachu's electricity lights up the night sky. The next day, Ash returns with confidence to the Pewter City Gym for a rematch. Brock is also confident after his easy victory in the last battle, and the two quickly start the rematch. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, while Ash sends out {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. However, the {{t|Normal}}- and {{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon can't hurtm the Rock type, so Ash recalls him and sends out Pikachu. Misty is watching in the rafters, cheering for Ash, only to be crowded by Brock's siblings.<br />
<br />
Brock comments on how weak Pikachu and Ash are, and Ash retorts by commanding Pikachu's attack, which easily knocks Geodude down. Both Brock and Misty are stunned, staring open-mouthed. Brock recalls his Geodude and sends out Onix, and a fearful Pikachu tries to do another Electric attack, damaging the Gym itself instead. Onix wraps Pikachu with Bind, but Pikachu makes a comeback with his new attack, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which manages to hurt Onix but still isn't enough to take it out. Just as Pikachu is about to pass out, Brock suddenly spares it by calling Onix off. He tells Ash to forfeit again, not wanting to cause further damage to Pikachu. Ash protests, wanting to fight the match to the end.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, the Gym's sprinklers are set off by a fire caused by Pikachu's earlier Electric attack. Water sprays all over Onix, weakening him and allowing Pikachu to fight back with another Electric attack. Just as Ash is about to command Pikachu to finish Onix off, he finds he can't move. Brock's brothers and sisters are all holding Ash in place and begging him not to continue. Brock orders his brothers and sisters to not get involved, but they protest, knowing that Brock's love of Pokémon would make it painful for him to continue the match and watch his Onix get hurt further.<br />
<br />
Ash calls back his Pikachu. He explains that if he defeated Brock now, it would only be because of the sprinklers being set off. He decides he wants to win his Badge fair and square, much to Misty's disappointment, since he is giving up a lucky advantage.<br />
<br />
Ash leaves the Pewter Gym, and, on his way out of Pewter City, he apologizes to Pikachu for being so tough. Then, he hears someone calling him, and turns to find Brock running to catch up with him and give him the {{Badge|Boulder}}. Ash says he can't accept the Badge, but Brock insists that Ash has earned it through his kindness to Pokémon. Brock continues to explain that rather than becoming a great Pokémon Trainer, his dream is to become a great [[Pokémon Breeder]], but can't do so because of his family duties. He gives Ash the Badge, and asks him to fulfill his dream, to which Ash agrees.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, Flint shows up again, and reveals that he is Brock's "good-for-nothing" father. He explains that he didn't want to return to his family as a failure of a Pokémon Trainer. Ash puzzles over the fact that Flint helped him instead of his son, Brock, and Flint explains that Ash's helplessness reminded him of himself. Flint is ready to take back the responsibilities that he abandoned, which Brock returns to him, along with a long list of tasks for him to remember while taking care of the children.<br />
<br />
That evening, Ash and Brock travel on the road out of Pewter City. Brock asks to make sure that it is okay that he joins Ash on his Pokémon journey, and Ash insists that he is glad to have him along. However, Misty is a different story, and from several paces behind she yells at him to not forget about her [[bicycle]]. Ash and Pikachu try to ditch Misty, followed by Brock and a still-angry Misty.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket show up at the end for a final cameo, finally managing to burst out of their self-made tomb via a power drill, only to end up trampled by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} as they run over the hole in the ground, unaware of the people underfoot.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* This episode introduces Team Rocket's pitfall trap gag.<br />
* This episode establishes that there are multiple [[Nurse Joy]]s who are all part of a large extended family.<br />
* This is the first episode in which {{TRT}} appears but has no bearing on the plot.<br />
* The poster in the Pokémon Center uses type symbols from the TCG, specifically from top to bottom, the Electric, Psychic, Grass, Fighting, Fire, and Water symbols.<br />
* This is one of the few episodes where Ash tries to return Pikachu to its [[Poké Ball]]. <br />
* This episode introduced the greatest number of named recurring [[list of anime characters|characters]] in the anime, due to [[Brock's siblings]]. If all of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] were named, the honor would go to [[EP001|the first episode]].<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 20: Onix'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* Three days after this episode aired in [[dub|English]], Ash won his [[EP063|eighth Badge]] in Japanese.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP005 error.png|thumb|200px|right|Ash's red eyes]]<br />
* Before Ash's first battle with Brock, right before Brock switches the lights of the Gym on, Ash's eyes appear red.<br />
* In the English dub, Flint says that Brock has ten little brothers and sisters when he only has nine.<br />
* Ash's advantage over Brock should not have technically worked; {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are immune to {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s. This is the first of many times Pikachu's Electric attacks [[Anime physics|defy type match-ups]] to change the results of the battle.<br />
** Ironically, in later episodes when Pikachu faces other Ground-types, including other Onix, Ash actually states that electric attacks would have no effect.<br />
* When Brock says "Geodude, go!" during his rematch with Ash, his mouth does not move when he says "go".<br />
* When Ash tries to return Pikachu into its Poké Ball, the ball doesn't have the lightning bolt like in EP001.<br />
<br />
===Changes===<br />
====Dub edits====<br />
* Flint charges a $2 fee for sitting on his rocks, or ¥50 in the Japanese version.<br />
* Various pieces of text were changed to English:<br />
** The unreadable (due to the position of the camera) signs at Flint's shop were changed to "SALE".<br />
** The poster in the Pokémon Center was translated, emulating the font and style of the letters exactly.<br />
** The restaurant bill was changed from ¥1150 to $1150. The top of the bill's writing is removed and bottom of the bill is changed from "Restaurant Nibi" to "Thank You".<br />
** The "Nibi Gym" sign was changed to say "Pewter Gym".<br />
** The sign outside Flint's house changed from "We have rocks" to "ROCKS FOR SALE".<br />
* Instead of saying Brock's mother left the family to Brock's care, Flint tells Ash that she died after trying to raise the family on her own. This resulted in an inconsistency in the English dub, as Brock's mother, [[Lola]] appears in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' as well as in several other episodes afterward.<br />
<br />
====Differences between the episode and the comic adaptation====<br />
* The scene where Ash discovers the poster has some extra lines in the comic (namely, Ash explicitly stating he was going to enter his name to the registration board, and Misty explicitly denying he'll do it) that weren't present in the Anime.<br />
* The scene at the diner was omitted.<br />
* Misty's complaint about Ash forfeiting again was cut.<br />
* Team Rocket falling into the hole again was cut out in the ending.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/01_04-challenge-of-the-samurai/--><br />
<i>Misty and Ash continue to wander the Viridian Forest when they spot a Weedle. As Ash battles it, he's distracted by a boy dressed as a samurai and calling himself (naturally) Samurai. Samurai challenges Ash to a battle, and Ash gets the advantage when his Metapod defends itself against Samurai's Pinsir. Samurai sends out his own Metapod—and a standoff begins.<br />
<br />
A swarm of Beedrill interrupts the battle. Ash flees, but leaves his Metapod behind. The Beedrill grab Metapod and take it back to their hive. As Ash sneaks toward the hive to save Metapod, Jessie, James, and Meowth shows up to cause trouble. Ash is able to duck the angry Beedrill, and they instead focus their wrath on Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
Metapod is mad at Ash for being abandoned. Has Ash learned his lesson about leaving his friends behind? Will Metapod evolve again? And will Samurai and Ash ever resume their battle?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
As {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} continue on their way through [[Viridian Forest]], a shrill scream disrupts the calm of the trees and the beedrill. Ash turns around, realizing that the sound came from his female companion. She is hiding in a tree because she has seen a {{t|bug}}, to which Ash makes a pun. Then he spots the bug, a {{p|Weedle}}, and decides to catch it. He tries to use Pikachu against it, but it is more interested in sleeping than {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, so he sends out his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Pidgeotto manages to defeat Weedle, but, just when Ash is about to toss a {{ball|Poké}} to capture it, a boy dressed as a [[samurai]] arrives on the scene. The samurai asks Ash if he is from [[Pallet Town]], and when Ash replies that, yes, he is from Pallet Town, the samurai challenges Ash to a Pokémon battle. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Weedle escapes and the samurai rebukes Ash for allowing it to escape, but Ash insists that it is the samurai's fault that the Weedle escaped. The two then begin their Pokémon battle.<br />
<br />
Ash uses his Pidgeotto and the samurai battles with his {{p|Pinsir}}. The two battle for some time, but Pinsir finally manages to defeat Pidgeotto. Ash then sends out his {{AP|Metapod}}. Metapod breaks Pinsir's pincers with {{m|Harden}} and wins the round. The samurai then sends out his own {{p|Metapod}}! The two Metapod continue to harden themselves, leaving Misty and Pikachu to wonder whether the match will ever finish. Suddenly, a swarm of angry {{p|Beedrill}} arrives, and one Beedrill lifts Ash's Metapod away. The samurai takes Ash, Misty and their Pokémon to a safe place.<br />
<br />
In the samurai's hiding place, the samurai furiously rebukes Ash for putting his Metapod in danger. Ash keeps quiet, and promises himself that he will find Metapod the next day and look after it better from then on. During the night, he is unable to sleep and can only think about his Metapod.<br />
<br />
Early the next morning, Ash begins his search for Metapod. He sees it lying at the base of a tree, surrounded by many {{p|Kakuna}}, and attempts to sneak forward through the grass towards it without alerting the Beedrill swarm. However, he is interrupted by {{MTR}}, who jumps on the back of his head. A moment later, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear on a cliff overhead, and launch loudly into their {{motto}}, ignoring Ash's warnings that they will alert the Beedrill.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, the sound awakens the Kakuna, which evolve into Beedrill and prepare to dive-bomb Ash and Team Rocket. Ash runs forward below their attacks, reaching the tree where Metapod is waiting. Jessie and James attempt to take cover from the Beedrill beneath a large protective tank they have been carrying, but, as it is made of cardboard, a group of {{p|Weedle}} are easily able to chew through it.<br />
<br />
Ash attempts to recall Metapod to its Poké Ball, but it rolls away from his arms. Seeing a look of sorrow in Metapod's eyes, Ash realizes that he has lost Metapod's trust. Ash attempts to explain what happened, saying that losing Metapod was all Samurai's fault. However, Ash suddenly realizes that he is lying to himself and to Metapod, and admits that losing Metapod was his fault and his alone. Ash is upset upon realizing that it was his carelessness that put his Pokémon's life in danger, and, amid tearful apologies to Metapod, he sincerely promises to take better care of it. Its faith in its Trainer restored, Metapod saves Ash by leaping into the path of an attacking Beedrill, but in the process its shell is torn by the Beedrill's needle-like arm. Ash picks up his Metapod and cradles it in his arms, thinking it has been badly injured, but it instead begins to glow; the hole in its shell has triggered Metapod's [[evolution]] into {{AP|Butterfree}}. Ash gazes happily at his first fully-evolved Pokémon, and even Misty doesn't feel her normal fear of {{t|bug}}s, going so far as to call Ash's Butterfree beautiful.<br />
<br />
Ash and the others are then once again attacked by the swarm of Beedrill, but, this time, Ash is prepared for them. He orders his newly-evolved Butterfree to use {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which puts the bee-like Pokémon to sleep and allows the group to escape. Samurai applauds Ash for being able to control his Butterfree well so soon after its evolution. Samurai also tells Ash that he takes back the statements he made about Ash being a novice, and that, compared to Ash, Samurai is the novice.<br />
<br />
Ash and Samurai part as friends, promising to battle again someday. Ash, Pikachu and Misty then go on and finally reach the end of Viridian Forest. Ash runs at full speed towards [[Pewter City]] to earn his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]], with Misty following close behind. Team Rocket, meanwhile, are left wrapped up like Kakuna among a hive of angry Beedrill.<br />
<br />
==Major events==<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Kakuna evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Kakuna's original evolution method]]<br />
[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original evolution method]]<br />
* This is the first episode not to have the word "Pokémon" in its name.<br />
* This is the first time the lines "Prepare for trouble! / And make it double!" are included in [[Team Rocket mottos|Team Rocket's motto]].<br />
* In this episode, Metapod and Kakuna's evolution processes are depicted as their shells cracking and their evolved forms emerging, leaving behind an empty carapace, similar to real life insects' emergence from pupation. [[AG142|In]] [[BW124|later]] [[BW130|episodes]], however, Metapod and Kakuna are shown to evolve like any other Pokémon.<br />
* Ash tries and fails to capture a Weedle; however, he would [[EP161|later]] succeed in capturing its [[Casey's Beedrill|final form]] only to give it away shortly thereafter.<br />
** In that episode Ash once again tries and fails to capture a Weedle.<br />
* This episode features the first [[anime move error]], as [[Pinsir]] cannot legally learn {{m|Tackle}} in the games.<br />
* During the Metapod vs. Metapod battle, each side uses Harden in a futile attempt to defeat the other. However, Ash's Metapod should technically know Tackle as well, since it evolved from a Caterpie. It does, in fact, appear to use this move later to protect Ash from a Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack.<br />
* When Ash, Misty and Samurai are settled down for the night and Ash is shown to be awake and worrying about Metapod, "Satoshi", Ash's Japanese name, is seen to be written on his sleeping bag.<br />
* This episode was banned in {{pmin|South Korea}} due to a cultural problem.<br />
* Butterfree's Pokèdex entry in this episode states that Metapod evolves after one week. This means that one week has passed since [[EP003|the previous episode]].<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:EP004 error.png|thumb|200px|right|Ash's eyes]]<br />
* In one scene, when Ash is arguing with Samurai, his gloves disappear.<br />
* As mentioned above, Samurai's Pinsir uses {{m|Tackle}} in this episode, a move it is [[Anime move errors|normally incapable of learning]].<br />
* Misty refers to Ash's and Samurai's Metapod as "Metapods".<br />
** In the scene with the Kakuna hive, Samurai incorrectly refers to the plural of Kakuna as "Kakunas." The Pokédex also makes this mistake.<br />
** Misty and Ash also incorrectly refer to the plural of "Beedrill" in this manner.<br />
* The hole a Beedrill makes in the door of the cabin disappears in the next shot.<br />
* When Ash sets out the next morning to look for Metapod, Meowth kicks Ash in the head and scratches him. After he starts crying, Jessie and James are shown on top of the cliff above him. Ash runs off after they finish reciting their motto, during which time Meowth is still next to him. However, when the camera cuts to Jessie and James jumping off the cliff and running after him, Meowth is shown jumping off with them.<br />
* In one scene, Ash's eyes are red in color.<br />
<br />
===Changes===<br />
====Dub edits====<br />
* Ash getting in a cow costume and suggesting that a bug is a "cowterpie" makes more sense in the Japanese version, being an untranslatable pun: Misty says "Mushi! Mushi! Mushi! ...Mushi!" which means "Bug! Bug! Bug! ...Bug!". Ash then says "Ushi?", meaning "Cow?". <br />
* The word "Mika" on Jessie's Kakuna disguise is painted out in the dub.<br />
<br />
====Differences between the episode and the comic adaptation====<br />
* The scene where Misty first encounters Samurai is cut, leaving Samurai's first appearance to be when he encounters Ash.<br />
* During the scene where the Metapod are hardening during their battle, only the picture of Pikachu sunbathing is retained, whereas the episode shows both Misty and Pikachu sunbathing.<br />
* The panel where Misty scolds Samurai and Ash for being "more hardheaded than their Metapods" reuses the panel where Jessie and James knock Meowth off their Beedrill-protection device.<br />
* Meowth scratching Ash (as well as Ash's reaction) is cut from the comic.<br />
* The final scene where Jessie and James end up wearing Kakuna disguises in the comic cuts out the part where they end up being stung as a result of the Kakuna deducing their real identities.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/01_03-ash-catches-a-pokemon/--><br />
<i>Ash discovers and catches a Caterpie—his first Pokémon capture! Though Ash is excited, Misty is grossed out by Bug-type Pokémon, so she is repulsed by its attempts to be friends with her. At night, as Ash and Misty sleep, Caterpie shares with Pikachu its dream of evolving into a Butterfree.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash is able to capture a Pidgeotto after battling it with Pikachu. Before Ash can celebrate too wildly, Misty reminds him that his success is due more to luck than skill.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket shows up to steal Pikachu—they realize that there's really something special about this Pokémon—and Ash vows to defend himself. Pikachu and Pidgeotto are weakened by Koffing and Ekans, so he reluctantly sends out Caterpie. To the surprise of Jessie and James—not to mention Ash—Caterpie's String Shot is able to defeat the Team Rocket Pokémon, including Meowth!<br />
<br />
When Misty tries to make nice with Caterpie, it evolves into a Metapod. Could a Butterfree Evolution be far behind?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The episode picks up right where the [[EP002|previous one]] left off, as {{Ash}} prepares to capture a {{p|Caterpie}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He immediately tosses a {{ball|Poké}} at Caterpie, who tries to break free but is unsuccessful. Ash's excitement takes control as he celebrates catching {{AP|his first Pokémon|Caterpie}}, holding the Poké Ball and running in circles out of joy. When Ash holds the Poké Ball closer to {{an|Misty}}’s face, she reveals that she has a fear of {{t|bug}}s, even if they are contained in a Poké Ball. However, Pikachu is happy to have Caterpie along, and Ash decides to bring Caterpie out, scaring Misty away. Ironically, Caterpie wants to make friends with Misty, but the latter would much rather get to know Pikachu better.<br />
<br />
Misty continues to complain about Caterpie and says to put “one of the three most disgusting things” back into the Poké Ball. When Ash asks about the others, Misty remarks “{{wp|Carrots}}, {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}, and bugs.” Ash, however, is offended at how Misty’s discomfort is used to hurt Caterpie’s feelings. Ash reassures Caterpie and continues traveling without Misty. Misty, however, has other plans, as she is still upset about her ruined [[bicycle]] and wants Ash to replace it. Because of this, she continues following Ash.<br />
<br />
Later that night, Ash sets up camp for the night. Misty, also getting ready to go to sleep, exchanges a few smart remarks with Ash, upsetting Pikachu and Caterpie. While Ash and Misty sleep, Pikachu and Caterpie get to know each other a little better. In the morning, Misty is still frightened of Caterpie, panicking so much that the Pokémon becomes subdued and returns himself to his Poké Ball. Although Ash is angry about this, his attention is diverted when he spots a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgeotto}}.<br />
<br />
Wanting to catch Pidgeotto, Ash throws a Poké Ball, but Pidgeotto simply swats it away. Misty retorts that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to battle and weaken a wild Pokémon to capture it. However, when she mentions that he caught Caterpie only because it was weak, the remark irritates Ash to the point where he blindly summons Caterpie to battle. He does this without knowing that Caterpie is at a type disadvantage against Pidgeotto, though both Misty and Pikachu know. As a result, Caterpie is thoroughly beaten up by Pidgeotto, but Ash recalls Caterpie just in time, causing Pidgeotto to get its beak stuck in a tree.<br />
<br />
Ash sends Pikachu after Pidgeotto just as it frees itself. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to hit Pidgeotto, weakening it and allowing Ash to toss a Poké Ball. The Ball takes Pidgeotto in and drops to the ground, rocking. After a few moments, the Ball ceases movement; Ash has captured the {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Despite the success, Misty continues to berate him for his lack of knowledge about strategy.<br />
<br />
{{TRT}} intrudes on their argument, reciting their {{motto}}. They decide to target his Pikachu, mentioning its incredible power, which causes them to become distracted in a short internal argument before they decide to attack. They then send out {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} to battle, despite a [[Double Battle|double-team]] being unfair. Misty wants to jump in, but Ash does not want to break the rules. Koffing’s {{m|Sludge}} attack blinds Pikachu, taking it out of the battle. While he hands Pikachu off to Misty, he decides to send out his newly caught Pidgeotto. <br />
<br />
Pidgeotto dodges both Koffing and Ekans’s attacks before going into a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Ekans avoids the attack by {{m|Dig|going underground}}, forcing Pidgeotto to come to a sudden stop. Koffing fires a {{m|Smog}} attack, which Pidgeotto splits with its wings before dodging multiple Sludge attacks and Ekans’s retaliation. Despite soaring high into the sky, both Ekans and Koffing are able to keep up with Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto tries to hit Koffing with {{m|Gust}}, but misses and is defeated. Ash recalls Pidgeotto and tries to fight Team Rocket with his fists, but [[James]] easily holds him back.<br />
<br />
It looks bad for Ash, but he decides to send out Caterpie to battle. The sight of the bug simply amuses Team Rocket as they prepare to attack. Caterpie looks down, when Ash orders it to fire {{m|String Shot}}. The attack completely incapacitates Koffing before Caterpie muzzles Ekans. Caterpie rushes into a Tackle attack on Koffing, sending it into Ekans and thus taking them both out, shocking everyone. {{MTR}} tries to step in, but he is also wrapped in String Shot. Taken by surprise, Team Rocket flees.<br />
<br />
Ash congratulates Caterpie on coming through, and urges Misty to do the same. She agrees to pat Caterpie on the head, despite her initial discomfort. At that moment, Caterpie begins to sprays mist from its mouth, startling her. Ash puts Caterpie down as the mist covers Caterpie, signaling evolution. Caterpie evolves into {{p|Metapod}}, and Ash's Pokédex notes that it has reached this stage more quickly than any other Caterpie on record. In addition, Misty shows approval of Ash's strengthening bonds with his Pokémon. Despite having fewer reservations about {{AP|Metapod}}, the sight of a {{p|Beedrill}} scares Misty as she looks forward to quickly leaving the forest. Ash is in no such hurry, however, as he seeks to capture more Pokémon.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* This is the first episode in which [[evolution]] is shown.<br />
** This was the first time a main character catches a Pokémon that would later evolve in the same episode, the second being more than 500 episodes later in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''.<br />
* This is so far the only episode in which a main character catches two Pokémon of different species.<br />
* According to a quote from this episode, Misty cannot stand carrots, peppers and {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.<br />
** Also, in regards to another quote from this episode, Misty mentions that she is ten years old. This was only said in the original.<br />
* Misty owns a red sleeping bag decorated with bubbles, while Ash owns a blue sleeping bag. "Satoshi" (Ash's Japanese name) appears on the name tag of his sleeping bag.<br />
* This is the first episode where type advantages are mentioned: {{type|Flying}} moves are effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.<br />
* A [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real animal]] appears in this episode, as Pidgeotto is seen eating a regular worm.<br />
* Despite the episode title saying "''a'' Pokémon", Ash catches ''two'' Pokémon.<br />
* Both Pokémon Ash catches in this episode are released by the time Ash travels to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].<br />
* This is the first episode where Ash uses his signature catchphrase/pose when successfully catching a {{p|Pidgeotto|Pokémon}}.<br />
** Each of Ash's traveling companions would attempt to copy this during the [[original series]].<br />
* In this episode when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, it shoots a shower of white silk string from its mouth onto itself and sheds its skin in the process, similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. Later episodes show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.<br />
* Ash mentions that the [[Pokémon League]] has regulations stating that Trainers may only use one Pokémon at a time in battles. This rule may have changed years later in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, in which [[Double Battle|two-on-two battles]] are not considered unusual.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* After Ash captures Caterpie in the beginning, his hat was backwards. When he was shown running to Caterpie's Poké Ball, it was forwards than in the next shot it was back to backwards.<br />
* In the dub, Ash calls Misty by her name, even though she hasn't mentioned her name yet, since the scene in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' where she originally mentioned her name was in the Japanese version. Her name ''is'' mentioned in the English version, but Ash isn't anywhere near [[Nurse Joy]] when she says it.<br />
* When Caterpie is about to attack Pidgeotto, his right 'paw' is green.<br />
* When Ash throws the Poké Ball at Pidgeotto to catch it, both halves are red.<br />
* When Ekans and Koffing were going in to attack Caterpie, Ekans's Japanese voice can be heard.<br />
* Caterpie's fight with Pidgeotto, and Ash's capturing of the latter was shown on the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
[[Image:Misty Slap2.png|thumb|200px|right|The cut shot]]<br />
* In the English version, Misty reads the episode title instead of Ash, while in the Japanese version, Ash reads the title.<br />
** This is justified in that, in the dub at least, Ash is busy gloating over his caught {{p|Caterpie}}, and thus is unable to read the episode title like he usually does.<br />
* When Caterpie is looking sad due to Misty telling it to stay in its Poké Ball, the katakana for "Ga~n" (a Japanese sound effect) moves across the screen. This was painted out for the dub.<br />
* How Misty and Ash commented on Caterpie is different between the versions (mostly due to religious censorship). In the English version, Ash was mentioning how he loves Caterpie, and Misty sarcastically responds how it takes a worm to love a worm; whereas in the original version, Ash comments that he and Caterpie are the same kind of Heaven, and Misty retorts that their Heaven is ''her'' Hell.<br />
* When Misty is telling Ash that birds eat worms, there is a shot where she slaps him for putting his Pokémon in danger. This was cut from the dub.<br />
* While Ash tells Caterpie "Counter", some have taken this to mean the {{m|Counter|move}}, which Caterpie cannot learn. In the original, Ash told it merely to "fight back".<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/01_02-pokemon-emergency/--><br />
<i>Ash rushes into Viridian City with his gravely wounded Pikachu. The city's on high alert for Pokémon thieves-thieves like Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket, a group of bad guys dedicated to stealing valuable Pokémon.<br />
<br />
While Ash waits at the Pokémon Center for news on Pikachu's condition, Misty arrives, angry about the bike Ash wrecked-but she softens when she sees Pikachu wheeled out on a stretcher.<br />
<br />
Team Rocket crashes through the roof of the Pokémon Center. While Nurse Joy transports Poké Balls to Pewter City for safety, Ash tries to fight off Team Rocket's Pokémon, Koffing and Ekans. Ash is having no luck battling, so his Pikachu, still recovering, teams up with a bunch of other Pikachu at the Pokémon Center to blast Team Rocket out of the building!<br />
<br />
Having discovered that Ash's Pikachu is not your ordinary Pikachu, Jessie, James, and Meowth make it their mission to capture it.<br />
<br />
With the bad guys expelled, Misty joins Ash and Pikachu on their journey to Pewter City. While strolling through Viridian Forest, a Caterpie makes an appearance. Ash sees an opportunity for his first Pokémon capture. Will he be successful?</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
As {{Ash}} arrives in [[Viridian City]], he is stopped by an [[Officer Jenny]], who gives him a ride to the [[Pokémon Center]] after his [[Pokédex]] confirms his identity. While [[Nurse Joy]] is attending to {{AP|Pikachu}}’s injuries, Ash calls [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] and [[Professor Oak]], the latter of whom is surprised to discover that Ash is already in Viridian City. When Ash mentions the {{an|Ho-Oh|strange golden Pokémon}} he had recently seen, Professor Oak is skeptical that Ash had actually seen an unidentified Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, {{an|Misty|the girl whose bicycle was “borrowed” by Ash}} storms into the Pokémon Center and rages at Ash for what his Pikachu did to it. When Ash explains what happened, the girl’s concern shifts to Pikachu’s well-being. <br />
<br />
At that moment, an alarm in the Pokémon Center sounds and {{TRT}} invades the building, recites their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], and tries to steal all of the Pokémon in the center. Nurse Joy begins transporting as many Pokémon as she can to the Pokémon Center in [[Pewter City]] while Ash tries and fails to fend off {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} with a {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Pidgey}} contained inside Poké Balls that have been knocked to the floor. The girl, named {{an|Misty}}, tries to help with her {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, but it is unable to do more than {{m|flail}} helplessly due to the lack of water.<br />
<br />
Ash tries to flee with Pikachu’s stretcher, but Pikachu suddenly wakes up from running into Misty’s bicycle. The other {{p|Pikachu}} at the Pokémon Center surround Ash’s Pikachu, healing it as well as delivering a powerful electric shock to Team Rocket. Using power from Ash pedaling the burned bicycle, Ash’s Pikachu hits Team Rocket with a powerful {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack, resulting in a colossal explosion that destroys much of the Pokémon Center.<br />
<br />
Following these events, Team Rocket decides that Ash’s Pikachu is no ordinary Pikachu and make it their mission to capture it for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. They are sent blasting off when a piece of debris punctures their {{p|Meowth}}-shaped balloon while Ash, Pikachu, and Misty continue to the [[Viridian Forest]], with Misty having decided to follow Ash until he replaces her destroyed bicycle.<br />
<br />
==Major events==<br />
* {{Ash}} visits a [[Pokémon Center]] and meets a [[Nurse Joy]] and an [[Officer Jenny]] for the first time.<br />
* {{an|Misty}} introduces herself to Ash and declares that she will follow him until he repays the damages to her [[bicycle|bike]].<br />
* Ash and Misty meet [[Jessie]] and [[James]], two members of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], along with their partner, a {{pkmn2|talking}} {{MTR}}.<br />
* Misty is revealed to own a {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}.<br />
* Team Rocket also decides to follow Ash and steal his {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br />
* Ash prepares to catch a {{AP|Caterpie}}.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Pidgey alternate coloration.png|right|thumb|200px|A differently-colored Pidgey.]]<br />
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|200px|thumb|right|The engraving of legendary Pokémon]]<br />
* This is currently the only episode in which any of Ash's male relatives are mentioned. Delia mentions that it took his father four days to reach [[Viridian City]] from [[Pallet Town]] and that {{Ash}} is the 'apple' of his eye. She also mentions Ash's grandfather in the Japanese version.<br />
* On the wall at the Pokémon Center, the engravings are of {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Ash misidentifies the {{p|Ho-Oh}} he saw in the previous episode as Articuno.<br />
* The {{p|Pidgey}} in the clock is green, instead of its normal color. Though some may consider this to be [[Shiny Pokémon|alternate coloration]], this is not how the "Shiny" Pidgey appears in the {{pkmn|games}}. This could just be a coloring error, considering this, after all, was only the second episode of the series just like how there was a green [[Poké Ball]] in the very first episode.<br />
** This is the second appearance of a clock with a Pidgey Cuckoo. The first was inside a Voltorb clock Ash had in the [[EP001|previous]] episode. Both are also destroyed in some way (Ash's Voltorb clock is smashed when thrown in Ash's sleep, the Pokémon Center's clock is destroyed when the Center blows up). Another Pidgey cuckoo clock would also appear [[EP020|18 episodes later]].<br />
* The events of this episode are referenced in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' by Team Rocket, who tell {{an|Dawn}} that they have been chasing {{AP|Pikachu}} for as long as she'd been alive.<br />
* The book ''[[I Choose You!]]'' is based on this episode.<br />
* This episode was modified after the [[EP038]] seizure incident. Originally, the scene where Pikachu uses Thunder Shock on Team Rocket was a sequence of rapidly flashing images of each Team Rocket member. This was changed to a four-square grid to reduce the flashing effect. This change affected all home releases and re-broadcasts in Japan, and all international versions of the episode.<br />
* Several scenes from the episode, including Misty's attempt at distracting Team Rocket was shown on the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* Just before Team Rocket throw their Poké Balls at the Center from their balloon, Jessie has no lipstick for a split second. Jessie also has no lipstick when their wanted poster is first shown.<br />
* The first two times [[James]] is shown in the doorway of the [[Poké Ball]] room he isn't wearing a left glove.<br />
* {{p|Arcanine}} is not a legendary Pokémon; however, it was shown on the wall with the [[legendary birds]]. This is likely due to Arcanine's {{pkmn|species}}, which classifies it as a "Legendary Pokémon" (like Pikachu is a "Mouse Pokémon").<br />
* On the wanted poster, James is shown holding a lilac rose, although normally he holds a red rose.<br />
* When Ash is laying Pikachu down on the bed in the Pokémon Center, Pikachu's tail is shown purely yellow, without the brown start.<br />
* When Misty is looking at the Pikachu, one of her bags is missing.<br />
* When Ash sends out the Pidgey from its Poké Ball, its eyes are yellow.<br />
* Officer Jenny said that he was a Pokémons trainer instead of Pokémon trainer<br />

<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* While the recap uses the same dialog in the Japanese version, for some reason the dub changes Ash's introductory line:<br />
** Original: "And I hereby declare to the Pokémon of the world...I will be a Pokémon master...Pokémon Master! That is what I'll..."<br />
** Flashback: "That's right. I declare to the Pokémon of the world...I will be the greatest Pokémon Trainer...the greatest Pokémon master...of all time."<br />
* In the Japanese version, Delia says that Ash's grandfather would be proud of him as well as his father.<br />
* Professor Oak abruptly ending his telephone conversation with Ash is different in both versions: in the English version, Oak says that his pizza just arrived, while in the Japanese version, Oak realizes that he is in the middle of cooking ramen.<br />
** On that same note, the English version included a doorbell sound-effect that wasn't present in the original version.<br />
* Misty introduces herself to Ash, Team Rocket, and the audience during the Pokémon Center battle in the Japanese version, while Nurse Joy reveals Misty's name to the audience at the end of the English version.<br />
* In the Japanese version, Ash's mom says that a brown hen lays white eggs and a Spearow lays Pidgey eggs. In the games, it would later become possible for a Spearow to produce a Pidgey [[Pokémon Egg|Egg]], as both species are in the [[Flying (Egg Group)|Flying]] [[Egg Group]].<br />
* When [[Cartoon Network]] would rerun the first dub season, most episodes would cut the "TO BE CONTINUED" screen. This was one of the few episodes in which Cartoon Network would leave the "TO BE CONTINUED" screen intact, most likely due to the narrator talking over it.<br />

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！ きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998. <br />
<br />
A remastered version of the episode was shown on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' on April 1, 2012 to celebrate the anime's fifteenth anniversary. Only the episode itself was remastered; the opening and ending sequences, as well as the [[eyecatch]], were not shown at all.<br />

<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/01_01-pokemon-i-choose-you/--><br />
<i>Meet Ash Ketchum, a 10-year-old boy full of imagination, confidence, and dreams that are almost too big for his village of Pallet Town—plus the desire to become a Pokémon Master!<br />
<br />
Ash is finally old enough to receive his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the town's Pokémon expert-but on the morning Ash is supposed to claim it, he oversleeps! By the time he arrives at Professor Oak's, the three Pokémon he wanted have already been chosen by the other Trainers-in-training, including his rival, Gary! The only Pokémon remaining is a strong-willed Pikachu.<br />
<br />
Trainer and Pokémon don't get along right away. Not only does Pikachu refuse to enter its Poké Ball, it would rather climb a tree than battle a Pidgey that Ash encounters! Disagreements aside, they start to bond when they find themselves chased by an angry flock of Spearow. The Spearow wound Pikachu, but Ash risks his own safety to protect his Pokémon.<br />
<br />
To further their escape, Ash "borrows" a bike owned by a young girl named Misty. He soon wrecks the bike; however, he and Pikachu are surrounded by the Spearow. When Ash fearlessly confronts the Spearow, Pikachu is inspired to summon its remaining energy to repel the Pokémon with a powerful electric shock.<br />
<br />
Finally out of harm's way, the wild experience makes Ash and Pikachu realize that they've begun what promises to be a blooming friendship.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
In a small [[Kanto]] [[region]] settlement called [[Pallet Town]], a boy named [[Ash Ketchum]] stays up late watching a [[Pokémon battle]] on television. Ash’s mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], scolds her son and tells him to go to bed, which Ash reluctantly does. Ash is eagerly anticipating the next day, where he will receive [[starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] from a man called [[Professor Oak]].<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, during the night, Ash accidentally breaks his alarm clock and is very late to arrive at Professor Oak’s laboratory. Since the usual Kanto starter Pokémon – {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} – are all taken by Trainers who arrived on time, {{TP|Gary|one of which|Blastoise}} was taken by Ash’s rival, [[Gary Oak]], Professor Oak hesitantly gives Ash a Poké Ball containing a [[Obedience|disobedient]] {{AP|Pikachu}} and also presents to Ash a [[Pokédex]] containing information on all Pokémon native to Kanto.<br />
<br />
While Ash is excited to have a new Pokémon, Pikachu is not excited to have a new Trainer and the two of them have a very rocky relationship at first. Pikachu is extremely mistrusting of Ash and is so stubborn that Ash has to drag him around with a clothesline leash from the [[Bag|backpack]] Delia prepared for him. Making matters worse is the fact that Pikachu absolutely hates being inside his [[Poké Ball]], so Ash has to keep Pikachu out with him at all times.<br />
<br />
In the process of trying to capture a [[wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgey}}, Ash accidentally angers a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. While running away from the Spearow, Pikachu is grievously injured due to many vicious attacks from the flock. After being [[fishing|fished]] out of a pond by {{an|Misty|a girl}}, Ash takes the girl’s bicycle so he can get away from the pursuing Spearow, an effort that is hampered by a raging thunderstorm. Eventually, Ash is left with no other choice but to stand in front of his injured Pokémon and defend it from the Spearow. This selfless act convinces Pikachu to help Ash, so Pikachu leaps over his Trainer’s shoulder and uses the lightning from the storm to defeat all of the Spearow simultaneously. However, Pikachu’s attack also hits the girl’s bicycle, destroying it.<br />
<br />
As Ash and a barely conscious Pikachu get ready to continue to [[Viridian City]], Ash sees a {{an|Ho-Oh|shimmering golden Pokémon}} flying overhead in the aftermath of the storm. Wondering what it could be, as the Pokédex is unable to identify the Pokémon, Ash and Pikachu make their way to Viridian City and Ash wonders what will lie ahead of him on his journey.<br />
<br />

[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Ho-Oh}} in its debut]]<br />
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before transitioning seamlessly into the battle that Ash himself is watching on [[Television|TV]]. <br />
** However, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} show Gengar and Nidorino battling in a forest, not a stadium.<br />
** A similar sequence and transition occurs in the beginning of the [[PO01|first episode]] of the ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' mini-series, in which {{OBP|Red|Origins}} watches a televised battle between Gengar and Nidorino.<br />
* An early, unused frame of the stadium battle scene exists.<br />
* The shadowed Trainer using Nidorino and Onix to battle greatly resembles [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo League]].<br />
* Ash's introductory shot is repeated in [[BW001|the first episode]] of the {{series|Best Wishes}} as a throwback to this episode.<br />
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock with a cuckoo {{p|Pidgey}} in it. Furthermore, he ends up breaking it in his sleep, unknowingly using it as a Poké Ball shortly after 4 AM.<br />
* The order in which Ash opens the starters' empty Poké Balls indicates his preferred choices: Squirtle first, Bulbasaur second, and Charmander last.<br />
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, nor {{p|Squirtle}} actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations, when at least one of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of each generation.<br />
* This is the only episode with Pikachu seen inside his own [[Poké Ball]].<br />
** This caused confusion in the scene in which Ash drags Pikachu by a rope while wearing rubber gloves.<br />
* This episode revealed that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.<br />
* This is one of the few episodes in which [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes of the dub. This happened when another Japanese voice actor spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be used.<br />
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the end of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes Ho-Oh the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.<br />
* The book ''[[I Choose You!]]'' is based on this episode.<br />
* This episode can be found on volume 3 of [[Game Boy Advance Video]].<br />
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].<br />
* Coincidentally, Ash would later attempt to use a Pidgey and Ratata in the following episode against Team Rocket after failing to capture either Pokémon in this episode.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
<!--If you're here to add "* As Ash tries to return Pikachu back into its Poké Ball, the lightning bolt mark is missing.", please don't--><br />
* As Delia catches the alarm clock Ash threw, her ponytail curls to her left shoulder. When seen from behind in the next shot, it is curled to her right shoulder.<br />
* When Professor Oak appears on television to discuss the starter Pokémon, the background colors behind {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are reversed (blue behind Charmander and red behind Squirtle). {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s background color, green, is correctly shown.<br />
** In this same scene, the starters look significantly different between the shot of the whole television and the close-up of the screen. Charmander, for instance, has a much larger tail flame and more open mouth in the close-up.<br />
* When Ash throws the Poké Balls containing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in his dream, both sides of the Balls are red. This was fixed in the scenes of the Balls releasing the Pokémon.<br />
* As Ash runs to Professor Oak to collect his first Pokémon, the top button on his pajamas changes from green to yellow.<br />
* The sneakers that Delia hands Ash are the same ones he is already wearing.<br />
* Gary says "Well, you must be Ash" as if they have never met, but the two have actually known each other since early childhood.<br />
* After Gary tells Ash that his Pokémon is inside its Poké Ball, the order of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] reversed.<br />
* If all three starters had already been taken, then the Poké Balls containing them should be with their Trainers, as Gary's is, and not with Professor Oak. <br />
* After Ash opens Charmander's Poké Ball in Oak's lab, part of Oak's coat unnaturally changes position as he speaks.<br />
* As Pikachu's Poké Ball opens with a strobe-like flash of light, the background behind Ash differs greatly between the two frames. The buttons and features of the large machine change position and size. Also, the table and beaker in front of it change position and shape, respectively.<br />
* When Ash opens his Pokédex for the first time, the directional buttons are not present.<br />
* When Pikachu is up in the tree, Ash's coat loses its yellow stripes, but they return later on.<br />
* In the Japanese version, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'' instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.<br />
* When Ash sees the Spearow flock again after Misty tells him where the nearest Pokémon Center is, his shoes are not colored, making it look like he only has white socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on Misty's bike, his shoes are colored normally.<br />
* When Ash places Pikachu's Poké Ball on the ground, his thumb passes right through it when he stands up to face the flock of Spearow.<br />
* When Ash stands up to the Spearow to protect Pikachu, he incorrectly refers to them "Spearows." The plural of a specific species of Pokémon is the same as the singular.<br />
* As Ash looks at Ho-Oh at the end of the episode, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] points backward as it had since he jumped into the river. As he walks uphill in the next scene, it points forward. When he gets to the top and looks at Viridian City, it points backward again. Lastly, as we see him from behind as he walks toward Viridian, his hat points forward again.<br />
* In the slap scene cut from the English version, the hole in Ash's hat matches his skin color despite being above his hairline.<br />
<br />
===Changes===<br />
====Dub edits====<br />
[[File:Misty Slap.png|thumb|200px|The cut shot]]<br />
* During the shot of the whole television and Ash moving his head into view, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below their pictures. The names are gone during and after the close-up, however.<br />
* When the people outside of Professor Oak's lab cheer for Ash, the flag says "{{tt|ガンバレサトシ|Go for it, Satoshi}}" on the Japanese version. The dub edits this to "GO ASH GO".<br />
* The Poké Balls in Professor Oak's lab are labeled in Japanese when they first appear, but are painted over when Ash picks up one up. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed. <br />
* In the Japanese version, after Ash thanks {{an|Misty}}, she slaps him. This was cut from the [[dub]] (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to physical violence. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.<br />
* In the Japanese version, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.<br />
<br />
====Differences between the episode and the comic adaptation====<br />
* The opening League Battle was shortened, cutting out the reference to the Game Boy opening scene.<br />
* Ash's attempt at catching Rattata was cut.<br />
* Ash's escape through the river was shortened, only showing the first swimming distance. Gyarados and Ash's attempt to swim away from it were cut.<br />
* In the ending of the episode, after Pikachu licks Ash, Ash was silent, though his gratefulness for finally earning Pikachu's respect is still implied. In the comic, it has Ash either saying or thinking, "Hey, Pikachu really does like me!"<br />
====Differences between the episode and Pokémon the Animation Volume 1====<br />
* After Misty scolds Ash for endangering Pikachu, she directly comforts and cradles the injured Pikachu instead of simply expressing concern for him.<br />

'''Clay''' (Japanese: '''ヤーコン''' ''Yakon'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Driftveil City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Driftveil Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. He gives the {{Badge|Quake}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Clay appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Driftveil City]]'s Gym. This Gym will be the fifth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Clay will receive the Quake Badge. Shortly after, he appears on {{rt|6|Unova}} to aid the player in removing the {{p|Galvantula}} web blocking the entrance to the [[Chargestone Cave]]. After his {{p|Krokorok}} removes the web, he gives {{TM|78|Bulldoze}} to the player. He also reappears again at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br />
<br />
When the player is cornered by the Seven Sages, Clay is the first of the Unova Gym Leaders to march in. He asks the player if he is tired out yet, then the rest of the Unova Gym Leaders, with the exception of Cilan, Chili and Cress, walk in and take positions opposite each sage in pairs. Drayden then tells the player to proceed in pursuit of N.<br />
<br />
Once the player gains access to the Driftveil Gym, Clay will be standing outside of the Gym, opposite [[Ghetsis]] and some {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. Ghetsis refers to Clay as the "Miner King".<br />
<br />
When the player encounters the Driftveil Gym Leader inside of Twist Mountain on his/her first visit after obtaining the Mistralton Gym Badge, he will say that Twist Mountain belongs to him, and that the player and Cheren can train on it should they wish to do so.<br />
<br />
One of the Trainers the player can battle inside the Driftveil Gym says that Clay is a company president. However, it is not known what business Clay actually owns. Another Trainer that can be battled inside the Driftveil Gym says that Clay stays at the bottom of the Gym to remind himself that he once had nothing. A backpacker inside the [[Nacrene City]] Pokémon Center says that Clay found Fossils on [[Twist Mountain]] and donated them to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene City Museum]].<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Clay gives away remains the same, though he gives it out immediately after the battle rather than outside Chargestone Cave, as there is no longer any Galvantula web blocking the entrance.<br />
<br />
After the Gym battle, Clay will take the player up his private lift to the entrance of the Gym and then leaves. Outside of the Gym, he is with Hugh and notices that the player and Hugh are friends, and then proceed to show the two Trainers to the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] south of Driftveil City. Once there, he goes inside and tells them both to join in the [[Driftveil Tournament]]. [[Cheren]] is already there and participates as well. After the tournament, Roxie turns up and learns about the tournament, and leaves again. Clay follows and leaves the player to continue the adventure.<br />

:''"Hrmph! So yer the Trainer [[Elesa]] was talkin' about, huh. I'm Clay. I'm the [[Gym Leader]] 'round these parts. Don't be expectin' no welcome, now. 'Cause when we lowered that bridge, the Team Plasma guys we'd caught done escaped in all the ruckus!"''<br />
:''"Ya can say whatever ya want. But what's important is y'all showed up, and then [[Team Plasma]] escaped. Maybe it's a little heavy-handed, but you oughtta start lookin' for Team Plasma, too. Yer both talented Trainers, aren't ya? Tell ya what... If ya find Team Plasma, I'll let ya challenge my Gym! Life's all about give and take!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Cold Storage]]'''<br />
:''"Well, I'll be! Hidin' in a chilly old place like this... You guys take these Pokémon robbers!"''<br />
:''"You guys ain't so bad! Yup, a promise is a promise. Come on an' challenge my Gym!"''<br />
<br />
'''Driftveil City'''<br />
:''"I don't need no thanks, now. Yer buddies were tryin' to steal some folks' Pokémon."''<br />
:''"Well, that sounds real nice, if it's true. I may not talk purty, but at least I'm an honest man. You talk real nice, but what yer sayin' kinda sounds like lyin'. So tell me plain, what are ya tryin' to say?"''<br />
:''"...Well, I can't tell if yer lyin' or not, but I reckon you've won this without a fight. Hrrmph. Fine. Take 'em and git!"''<br />
:''"Sorry to let Team Plasma go after you tracked 'em down, fellas. Say, why don't we cheer ourselves up with a Pokémon battle? Don't keep me waitin'!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Driftveil Gym]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Well.. Think it's about time fer myself what it is about yer skills that makes a Gym Leader like Elesa take such a shine to ya."''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
:''"Well I'll be! Sure didn't see that coming."''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"Givin' up's the easy way out! If I wanted, I could have given up any old time!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"Well, I've had enough... and just so you know, I didn't go easy on you."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Mrrrmph. I see. But I sure don't like it! Fer such a young 'un, ya have an imposin' battle style. I know ya got people who can dig up yer potential. Mrmph. Here! Take this!"''<br />
:''"So this is yer fifth [[Badge]], huh? If that's so, Pokémon up to Lv. 60 will obey ya. Also, I'll give ya this [[TM]]. ...Well, that was the plan, but I just remembered there's somethin' I want. Wait in front of the cave at the end of {{rt|6|Unova}}, wouldja?"''<br />
:''"What's the problem? Go wait in front of the cave at the end of Route 6!"''<br />
:''"I don't know how much potential ya got, but if ya think ya can go, go wherever, and if ya think ya can do somethin', keep doin' it. Do things how ya want! Decide yer own limits."''<br />
<br />
* Post game:<br />
:''"Mrrrmph! You, huh? Remember what I done told ya? If ya think ya can go, go wherever, and if ya think ya can do somethin', keep doin' it. Do things how ya want! Decide yer own limits."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Chargestone Cave]]'''<br />
:''"Thanks fer waitin'. Looks like th' nest of an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon called {{p|Galvantula}}. Don't know why there's a nest here, but if there are folks havin' problems, th' Gym Leader's th' one ta fix it. Krokorok! Take it out! And [[TM78|this here TM]]'s yours. It's my favorite TM, so ya can teach it ta all of yer Pokémon! It's called {{m|Bulldoze}}. This move does damage and lowers the {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon it hits. Some {{type|Ground}} Pokémon move a little slower than ya'd like. If ya use Bulldoze right, ya can cover that weakness! I don't know how good you really are, but if ya think ya can go, go wherever, and if ya think ya can do somethin', keep doin' it. Do things how ya want! Decide yer own limits.''"<br />
<br />
'''[[Twist Mountain]]'''<br />
:''"What a surprise. Seein' ya here while I was inspectin' Twist Mountain. Th' two of ya seem a bit more rugged than the last time I saw ya. A li'l bit, anyway..."''<br />
:''"By th'by... You folks seen that Team Plasma crowd lately? After all the trouble, we Gym Leaders met up and had a chat. But we've got no clue where they are. It's like they're hidin' under a rock. Well, not much to do but wait for 'em to move. Anyhow, this's none o' yer concern. Squirts like the two of ya should just enjoy travelin' with yer Pokémon. Twist Mountain's a fine place to explore! You'll have some fun if you just leave this here path... Weeell... Better ya just see it yerself, 'stead o' listenin' to me yammer. Be seein' ya, sprouts! Feel free to train yerselves on my mountain fer as long's ya like."''<br />
<br />
'''[[N's Castle]]'''<br />
:''"Can ya manage that?"''<br />
:''"Still standin', are ya, <player>?"''<br />
:''"Hrrmph! Ain't just me!"''<br />
:''"Things aren't gonna go th' way ya fellas think they are! I'm sure o' that!"''<br />

* Before battle<br />
: ''"Harrumph! Kept me waitin', didn't ya, kid? All right, time to see what ya can do!"''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
: ''"Impressive! That's some strength you've got!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
: ''"No hard feelings, but I'm extremely stubborn!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
: ''"Man oh man… It feels good to go all out and still be defeated!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
: ''"Phew… You're really somethin'! Li'l whippersnapper Trainers who pack a real punch keep showin' up one after another. Mrmph. Here! Take this!"''<br />
: ''"So this is yer fifth Badge, huh? If that's so, Pokémon up to Lv. 60 will obey ya. Here! Take [[TM78|this]], too!"''<br />

<br />
* In the Gym's hall<br />
: ''"Good dancers are crucial fer puttin' on a good show!"''<br />
<br />
'''In front of the Gym'''<br />
: ''"Oh, so you two squirts know each other, huh? Ya both ain't bad, so I wanna show ya somethin'."''<br />
: ''"There's always room for folks to grow and change, ain't there? And, if ya only go after what ya think is right, ya might end up rejectin' all thoughts and opinions other than yer own. That's mighty dangerous."''<br />
: ''"Ya ever heard of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]? Trainers from all over the world gather on up to see who's toughest!"''<br />
: ''"Well then, I'll be waitin' for you at the south end of town!"''<br />
<br />
'''Pokémon World Tournament'''<br />

: ''"This time, I'm gonna have ya participate in the [[Driftveil Tournament]]. Anything goes in this here tournament! Eight people will be participatin', and if ya win three times, yer the champion!"''<br />
: ''"Ya know somethin', [[Cheren]]. The one who's gotta show everyone what Pokémon battlin' means--is you. And yer pal ain't here, either! I'm countin' on the power of youth, 'cause everyone likes up-and-comin' stars! OK! Whenever yer ready, get on over to reception!"''<br />
* After the Driftveil Tournament<br />
: ''"An outstandin' battle, runts! Now everybody's gonna want to join in on this here tournament an' show their stuff!"''<br />
: ''"See what I mean? People are pourin' in already! If the strongest Trainers from all over join in, it'll raise up everybody's level of skill! An' then, li'l ol' Driftveil City will grow even more and make a heap of money! So keep on bustin' those battles and rilin' everybody up! See ya!"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (first round)<br />
:''"Yer tougher than ya were when I gave ya that Gym Badge, right? Well, how 'bout we have ourselves a look and see what ya can do now."''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (second round)<br />
:''"How much stronger ya get comes from how much you want to win! Always be loyal to that desire, ya hear?"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (final battle)<br />
:''"If ya want ta win, don't make excuses! Got it? If yer gonna bellyache, just forget 'bout fightin'! Well, I might be fussin' 'bout nothing when it comes to you."''<br />
<br />

<br />
* If the player is defeated<br />
:''"It's simple, hear! I wanted to win more than ya did!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Fer such a young 'un, ya have an imposin' battle style. I wonder what kind a journey ya had that made ya so strong. But, I still don't like losin'!"''<br />
<br />
* After winning<br />
:''"What's important is how ya react to losin'. That's why folks who use losin' as fuel to get better are tough."''<br />
<br />
* In the lobby, after the tournament<br />
:''"Am I all right with a Trainer like ya winning the Tournament, ya say? Ya think there're stronger Trainers out there yet? Talented Trainers who think like that are just who I want to come here to Driftveil City!"''<br />

:''"Hmm? Well now... No matter who ya are or when ya die, bones are all that'll be left of ya. When ya think about it, it's amazin'. Even if ya die, ya can make money! Some Fossils are worth a lot, ya know!"''<br />
:''(to Lenora) "Here ya go! Whaddaya think? It's gotta be worth a mint as a specimen or as a collectible! Which is it?"''<br />
:''"That so? Guess my Twist Mountain still has unlimited potential! All right! I'll keep on diggin' my Clay Tunnel! Here, Burgh! That plain ol' Fossil's yours! Have a look at it and think about what bones mean to ya."''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Clay anime.png|250px|thumb|Clay in the anime]]<br />
Clay made his first appearance in ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him right after they had arrived at [[Driftveil City]], and Ash asked him for a battle. However, he refused to battle Ash at the time because he had to check out a mine at the edge of town. Ash would try to battle Clay again in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' but he refused yet again. He claimed that he could not have a battle with him if he did not have any {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s. When Ash asked what they were, Clay criticized him for not knowing and said that he probably wouldn't be worth battling. However, he did promise a battle if he brought him some Revival Herbs.<br />
[[File:Clay young.png|thumb|left|220px|Clay as a child]]<br />
After Ash obtained the herbs in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', he immediately went to Clay in [[BW061|the next episode]]. He was surprised that Ash was able to get the herbs and finally accepted his challenge. Ash managed to defeat Clay and he gave him the {{Badge|Quake}}.<br />
<br />
Clay is shown to have started his life as a miner when he was around Ash’s age with his Excadrill. One of his mines would later become the [[Driftveil Gym]]. He greatly values experience through hard work and views Ash's youth and inexperience with contempt, though he later gains new respect for the young Trainer after their battle. Clay prefers a frontal assault style of battling and becomes enraged when Ash uses strategy like his {{AP|Snivy}}'s {{m|Attract}} to stop his Palpitoad. <br />
<br />
Clay reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

|desc=Clay's {{p|Krokorok}} first appeared in ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', where it was used to battle [[Ash's Oshawott]]. At first Krokorok used dust to blind Oshawott, allowing it to land many successful hits. However, finally Oshawott was able to clean his eyes with his own {{m|Water Gun}} and then defeat Krokorok with {{m|Razor Shell}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW126|Crowning the Scalchop King!]]''.<br />

Snivy started by using {{m|Attract}} on Palpitoad, which became infatuated, thus making him unable to attack and an easy target for Snivy, which hit him with all of her attacks and finally defeated him with a {{m|Leaf Storm}}.<br />

|desc=Clay's {{p|Excadrill}} was used in a Gym battle against Ash's {{p|Snivy}}. It was easily able to block all of Snivy's attacks and then knock her out. Next Ash used {{p|Roggenrola}}. Thanks to its [[Ability]] {{a|Sturdy}}, Roggenrola could avoid being knocked out by Excadrill's Horn Drill. Later Roggenrola [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{AP|Boldore}} and defeated the Subterrene Pokémon with its newly learned Rock Blast and Rock Smash attacks, despite being at a major disadvantage.<br />
<br />
According to Clay, Excadrill has been his Pokémon since he was a kid, and has helped him with digging out and expanding the mine he was working on that would eventually become the current form of the Driftveil Gym. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Certain Up, Unova League!]]''.<br />
<br />
Excadrill's known moves are {{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Horn Drill}}, {{m|Drill Run}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}.}}<br />

[[File:Elesa Clay Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Clay in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Clay makes his first appearance digging around [[Desert Resort]]. When one of his men finds a [[Dragon Stones|mysterious]], Clay tells them to just ignore it. When Clay touches the stone, he experiences a surge of power rush through his body. He reports his find to [[Lenora]] and asks her to come take the stone and investigate it. As they talk, the [[Shadow Triad]] spy on Clay and plan to steal the stone from him.<br />
<br />
When {{adv|Black}} travels to Driftveil City to get his fifth Gym Badge, he finds that the drawbridge is currently down for maintenance. Elesa tells Black that Clay is currently trying to fix it, but Black decides to just travel on the drawbridge anyway. There, he encounters [[N]]'s {{p|Zorua}}, who had sabotaged the drawbridge and prevented it from moving. After driving it away, Black meets Clay, who he initially mistakes for being another one of Zorua's {{a|Illusion}}s. They quickly clear up the confusion, but Clay attacks Black for being insulted earlier.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving in Driftveil City, Black is unable to have his Gym battle due to Clay's bad mood. Clay decides to let Black have his battle after realizing that he could help with the stone he found in Desert Resort. As they battle, Clay tells Black that the stone he found was actually the Dark Stone, the stone form of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}} and that Team Plasma is currently aiming on stealing it. Clay also reveals that the Gym Leaders are fully aware of this plan and that they intend on joining together to stop the Shadow Triad from getting the Dark Stone. After losing the battle, Clay takes Black to the [[Celestial Tower]] at [[Mistralton City]] to meet up with the other Gym Leaders.<br />

Clay also reveals that the Gym Leaders are fully aware of this plan and that they intend on joining together to stop the Shadow Triad from getting the Dark Stone. After losing the battle, Clay takes Black to the [[Celestial Tower]] at [[Mistralton City]] to meet up with the other Gym Leaders. Once [[Skyla]] finishes her Gym battle with Black, she takes the group to [[Nacrene City]] to help Lenora after she had already began her battle with the thieves. Although they manage to win with teamwork, the Shadow Triad reveal their trump card, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}. They use the three to defeat and kidnap the Gym Leaders to prevent further interference. <br />
<br />
Clay and the other Gym Leaders were taken to a dark room in [[N's Castle]]. They had their memories tampered with so that they do not have any recollection of how they were kidnapped. When searching for a way to rescue the Gym Leaders, [[Caitlin]] used psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders. She was unable to find out their location, but she found that the Gym Leaders were unharmed. She also used her powers to relay a message to Black in his Gym battle against Drayden.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Clay is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Black tries to save them, but is stopped by [[Ghetsis]] and the [[Seven Sages]]. With no way to rescue his friends, several Trainers that Black met on his journey arrive to rescue the Gym Leaders in Black's place. Through teamwork, the Trainers manage to free the Gym Leaders from their bindings. The Gym Leaders then help to stop Team Plasma from attacking the League.<br />

'''Elesa''' (Japanese: '''カミツレ''' ''Kamitsure'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nimbasa City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Nimbasa Gym]]. She specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Bolt}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===Role===<br />
Elesa makes her debut in {{game|Black and White|s}}, serving as the Nimbasa City Gym Leader. This Gym is the fourth that the player may challenge. The player can challenge her to a battle after riding a series of roller coasters to her location, a process involving the flipping of multiple switches so the tracks take the player to her.<br />
<br />
Elesa specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. She utilizes a strategy that involves using {{m|Volt Switch}} between her two {{p|Emolga}}, and later {{p|Zebstrika}}. Upon defeating her, she will reward the player with the Bolt Badge and {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}.<br />
<br />
Outside of battle, Elesa is a supermodel. She appears when [[Bianca]] attempts to convince her father to allow her to become a Pokémon Trainer. Elesa aids her, convincing Bianca's father to give his daughter the permission to follow her dream. When the player leaves Nimbasa City, it is Elesa who appears briefly on {{rt|5|Unova}} and tells the bridge guard to lower the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] so the player may cross it. She then appears at [[N's Castle]], where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]] while the player goes after N. While not strictly relevant to the plot, Elesa also visits [[Cynthia]] in the summer at [[Undella Town]] in her villa, as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.<br />
<br />
Elesa is good friends with fellow Gym Leader [[Skyla]]. In between the events of Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, she confided in Skyla about changing her image. She reveals that she is conscious about the reserved image she displays, and has a fondness for bad puns.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Elesa returns as a Gym Leader. The player has to go back to the old Gym and talk to one of Elesa's models where Elesa used to be to have access to the new Gym which is an actual catwalk and fashion show. The TM Elesa gives away remains the same. After gaining access to the new Gym and defeating Elesa, she walks the player back down the catwalk to the entrance. She later participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br />

'''[[Nimbasa City]]'''<br />
:''"Sweetie, you keep going on your travels."''<br />
:''"My name is Elesa. I'm this town's Gym Leader. I also happen to be a model."''<br />
:''"You know, there are many people in this world. There are people whose way of thinking may be completely different from yours. Sometimes, this means you may get hurt."''<br />
:''"But it's important to keep trying, to learn about the differences between yourself and others... To learn that being different is OK. And you shouldn't worry. Trainers always have Pokémon at their side. Pokémon are wonderful. It's not only how cute they can be, but also how much you can depend on them..."''<br />
:''"I'm sure he traveled as a Trainer himself, in the past... Being a parent must be hard."''<br />
:''"Did I meddle unnecessarily? You looked troubled, so I decided to chime in."''<br />
:''"By the way, if you're Trainers, please stop by the Pokémon Gym. I'll teach you a little something about how tough a journey can get."''{{tt|*|If Elesa has not been defeated}}<br />

<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"A properly dramatic victory requires a dash of danger and a pinch of peril."''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"I meant to make your head spin, but you shocked me instead."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"My, oh my... You have a sweet fighting style. I mean, you're a great Trainer! Excuse me, I...uh... Oh, here! I want you to have this!"''<br />
:''"If you have four [[Badge]]s, including this {{badge|Bolt}}, Pokémon up to Lv. 50, including traded Pokémon, will obey you. Also, here's this move I like. Feel free to use it, um, if you want to."''<br />
:''"{{m|Volt Switch}} lets the Pokémon switch with a different Pokémon after attacking. Of course, if you don't have another Pokémon in your party, you can't switch."''<br />
:''"You're going to [[Driftveil City]] next? Of course. There is a Pokémon Gym there, after all. Oh... I bet you won't be able to get there. You know what? I'll fix it so you can cross. Wait for me on {{rt|5|Unova}}."''<br />

<br />
* Post game:<br />
:''"I think the real me is the one who battles with Pokémon as a [[Gym Leader]]. A model's job is to make someone else's vision look like a reality. It's interesting but it's not easy..."''<br />
<br />
'''{{rt|5|Unova}}'''<br />
:''"Oh, you two are friends... That's nice, how you're helping each other get better by competing. OK, let's go."''<br />
:''"This is [[Alder]], the Unova region's {{pkmn|Champion}}."''<br />
:''"Let's roll. The [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] is just ahead."''<br />
:''"Now to contact him... It's me, Elesa. Please lower the drawbridge. I have a couple of Trainers here who want to challenge you. OK... Thanks. Now, watch this! I have a TV gig, so I've got to go. The Gym Leader of the next town may take some getting used to... Do your best, both of you."''<br />
<br />
'''[[N's Castle]]'''<br />
:''"Ignoring [[Team Plasma]]... That would be a terrible thing for us Gym Leaders to do."''<br />
:''"I do not appreciate stubborn people."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Cynthia]]'s villa'''<br />
:''"I must say it's difficult for people to draw out a Pokémon's charm if they don't have any themselves."''<br />
:''"You know [[Nimbasa City]]? You know it runs on energy generated by {{type|Electric}} Pokémon? ...Just kidding!"''<br />
:''"Getting wrapped up in worries is bad for your body and spirit. That's when you must short out your logic circuits and reboot your heart."''<br />
:''"Without a word... Without even a whisper... My Pokémon connect me to other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, transmitting the current of my feelings."''<br />
:''"Put bluntly, swimsuits are nothing but cloth, right?"''<br />

:''"That's right! Here's the thing. I make what everyone thinks is cool into a reality, right? Well, I get to do what I want to do, and while being a model may be difficult, most importantly, it's fun! But the hard parts are really hard. I mean, everyone judges me simply based on my appearance. People say I'm reserved, and that I don't look like the type who would tell jokes!"''<br />
:''"So, I've been thinking about it constantly since then!"''<br />
:''"A sophisticated joke!"''<br />
:''"How should I put it... My looks suggest that I'm not a lot of fun. But I'll tear down that mistaken image with my own hands! I'll say something silly and give someone an opportunity to call me out, so we can all have a good laugh!"''<br />
:''"OK, get a load of this! Throw that misbehaving {{p|Klink}} in the clink!"''<br />

:''"You bought those Fossils from [[Clay]]? Did you buy them on Clay-away?"''<br />
:''"Exactly! If I were to make bad puns when I'm supposed to be telling a joke, doesn't it give people even more of an opportunity to tease me and start a funny back-and-forth?"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Elesa anime.png|thumb|250px|Elesa in the anime]]<br />
Elesa made her debut appearance in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{an|Bianca}} went to one of her modelling shows in order to request a Gym Battle. Elesa was excited to see [[Ash's Pikachu]] and even left the runway just so she could get a closer look. Later, Elesa battled Bianca in a three-on-three match and easily defeated all of Bianca's Pokémon with her powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}.<br />
<br />
Elesa battled {{Ash}} in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]''. Although Ash proved to be a far tougher opponent than Bianca had, she still gave the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} a tough time in her Gym. However Ash was able to pull through and earn himself a {{badge|Bolt}}.<br />
<br />
Elesa reappeared in fantasy in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''. She reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' and ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. She also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
This listing is of Elesa's known Pokémon in the anime:<br />

|epnum=BW049<br />
|epname=Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!<br />
|vajp=Kensuke Satō<br />
|vaen=Marc Thompson<br />
|desc=Elesa's {{p|Zebstrika}} first appeared in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', where it was used in a Gym battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{p|Shelmet}}, {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} and {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. Zebstrika proved itself to be extremely powerful, knocking out all three of Bianca's Pokémon with little effort.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Zebstrika was used against [[Ash's Palpitoad]] during his challenge for a Badge. However, as Palpitoad was part {{type|Ground}}, Wild Charge would not work and Flame Charge did little damage. Although Zebstrika's Double Kick was powerful against Palpitoad, it was hit with Palpitoad's {{m|Supersonic}}, leaving it confused. A combination of {{m|Mud Shot}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} finally knocked it out.<br />
<br />
Zebstrika's known moves are {{m|Flame Charge}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, {{m|Wild Charge}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}.}}<br />

|vaen=Misato Fukuen<br />
|desc=Elesa's {{p|Emolga}} first appeared in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', where she was used second in her Gym Battle against {{Ash}}. Using a combination of Attract and Aerial Ace, she was able to knock out [[Ash's Palpitoad]]. Next, she went up against {{AP|Snivy}}. As both Pokémon were female, Attract could not work; however, after dodging Snivy's attacks and recovering from a {{m|Leaf Storm}}, Emolga was able to defeat Snivy using Aerial Ace and Acrobatics—moves Snivy was weak against. Finally, Emolga was sent up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, but since the recent battles had taken their toll, Emolga was knocked out with a {{m|Quick Attack}}.<br />
<br />
She reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.<br />
<br />
Emolga's known moves are {{m|Attract}}, {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and {{m|Electro Ball}}.}}<br />

|desc={{p|Tynamo}} was the last Pokémon Elesa used against Ash in their Gym Battle in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', and is called by Elesa as her "Electric Queen". Ash was confused by the unusual Pokémon that, despite being fish-like in appearance, could float in mid-air. Elesa worked around Tynamo's inability to learn more than a few moves by training her so her Tackle was extremely powerful, causing Pikachu to struggle. However, after Pikachu pulled himself together, he started to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the entire battlefield. With her view obscured, Tynamo was knocked out with just one {{m|Iron Tail}}. She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''.<br />
<br />
Tynamo's only known move is {{m|Tackle}}.}}<br />

She is briefly seen with other Nimbasa City officials when talking to White and negotiating with the [[BW Agency]] about the [[Pokémon Musical]] since Nimbasa City was starting to dwindle with its tourism, although Elesa didn't appear to be very interested. Later, when the Musical was being set up, Elesa was seen dressing up her Zebstrika in support of it. She informs {{adv|Black}} that their Gym Battle will have to wait until the Musical ends. Later, Black and Elesa have their Gym battle despite the fact that Black becomes stuck in her Gym's coaster car. Eventually, Black manages to defeat her but before he can take the Badge, he is sent to the outside of the Gym from a thunderstorm caused by the Pokémon {{p|Thundurus}}.<br />
<br />
Elesa, along with her fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, she and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Elesa and the other Gym Leaders fell to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Forces of Nature]]. Elesa, along with the other Gym Leaders, is kidnapped and taken to a dark room, where they had their memories of the kidnapping erased. When [[Caitlin]] used her psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders, she had them relay a message to Black.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Elesa is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, she is freed by {{adv|Shōko}}'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.<br />

Zebstrika was used against Black in the Gym battle where it defeated his Tula after exploiting its Motor Drive Ability to raise its speed. Eventually, Zebstrika was defeated by Black's [[Nite]]. In a flashback that occurred in the same chapter, it was revealed that Elesa owned Zebstrika when it was a {{p|Blitzle}} during her youth.<br />
<br />
It was later seen in [[PS522]], where it participated in the battle against the [[Seven Sages]].<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Elesa (Legendary Treasures RC20)}}<br />
[[File:ElesaLegendaryTreasuresRC20.jpg|200px|thumb|Right|Elesa]]<br />
'''Elesa''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Collection}} Concept Pack, it later debuted in English in the Radiant Collection subset of the {{TCG|Legendary Treasures}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Yusuke Ohmura]] artwork of the character. With a similar effect to {{TCG ID|Arceus|Department Store Girl|85}} from the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion, Elesa allows the player to search their deck for three {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s; the cards are revealed and added to the player's hand before the deck is shuffled.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Elesa's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|シャイニング ビューティ|Shining beauty}}.<br />
* Elesa is the only female {{type|Electric}} Gym Leader.<br />
* Elesa is the only returning Gym Leader from {{2v2|Black|White}} to receive a redesign in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.<br />
* In Elesa's Memory Link's speech she says: "And don't call me Shirley!", a reference to the film ''{{wp|Airplane!}}''.<br />

'''Roxie''' (Japanese: '''ホミカ''' ''Homika'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Virbank City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Virbank Gym]]. She specializes in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{Badge|Toxic}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
<!--Please do not add that Roxie is Left Handed, it really doesn't matter at all--><br />
Roxie appears in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} as a Gym Leader. She is a musician who plays the {{wp|bass guitar}}. Her Gym is a music club. Trainers who defeat Roxie will receive the Toxic Badge, along with {{TM|09|Venoshock}}. <br />
<br />
Before the Gym battle, Roxie is seen in Virbank City outside of the Pokémon Center, arguing with her father about him becoming a movie star. He defends his wishes by commenting that Roxie balances her duties as the Virbank Gym Leader, and as a member of her rock band. He leaves, and Roxie gets angry and heads for the Gym, which the player can directly challenge.<br />
<br />
After the Gym battle, Roxie can be seen near the port with Hugh and several of the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. After the battle that follows, she gives the player the HM Cut and then heads back to the Gym. <br />
<br />
Roxie later makes a brief appearance after the player competes in the PWT for the first time, expressing an interest in competing in it (causing Clay to remark that word of the competition is spreading). Roxie does indeed compete in it later, along with most other Gym Leaders. In the summer, she visits [[Cynthia]] in [[Caitlin]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]].<br />

:''"AAAAAAH! You dim-witted...dense...dumb...daft...dippy...dorky...doltish DOFUS! Doing double duty isn't the problem! You're causing problems for people! Keeping people from getting where they're going because of sheer selfishness is unforgivable! I've HAD it! I'm going to the Gym!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Virbank Gym]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
: '''''"Get ready! I'm gonna knock some sense outta ya!"'''''<br />

<br />

: ''"Sigh! What are you doing losing, Roxie?! Well…I guess that means you're strong! This stinks, but I gave it everything I had, and I feel revitalized and refreshed now! Here! Proof that you beat me!"''<br />
: ''"Two Badges! Now Pokémon up to Lv. 30, even Pokémon you got in trades, will realize how good you are and won't ignore your commands! Also, here! Use this TM!"''<br />
: ''"[[TM09]] is {{m|Venoshock}}! It covers the target in a special poisonous liquid! Even better, if your target's already poisoned, it does double damage! Heh heh! It almost packs too much of a punch!"''<br />
: ''"Your Pokémon WANTED this win! Keep on going on like this, and do all sorts of stuff!"''<br />
<br />

<br />
* After returning to Virbank City:<br />
: ''"I thought your movie was pretty good."''<br />
: ''"C'mon! Don't get down! You can keep trying while you continue on as captain! As long as you don't cause anyone trouble, I won't get mad. I don't know how the Pokéstar Studios people feel about that, though!"''<br />
: ''"Oh... Did you hear us? Well, it looks like everyone from Team Plasma got away... I don't feel really good about it, but at least they're gone. Oh! There was a lot of ruckus, but you can sail to [[Castelia City]] now!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Pokémon World Tournament]]'''<br />

* Before battle (first round)<br />
: ''"Get ready! I'm gonna knock some sense outta ya!"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (second round)<br />
: ''"Fight with this Pokémon that way... Use this [[item]] that way... Are you letting others decide that for you? Well, whatever, but what's important is figuring out what you want to do! Get ready! 'Cause I'm going to knock the common sense outta you and drag you into a brand new world!"''<br />

<br />
* After winning<br />
: ''"Ya can't win 'em all. It's impossible, seriously! Trying to look cool every time you mess up or fail is totally exhausting! So you just have to let it all hang out!"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Roxie anime.png|thumb|250px|Roxie in the anime]]<br />
Roxie appeared in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]''. She is a powerful Gym Leader, defeating everyone who dared to challenge her with only three Pokémon. When Ash arrived at her Gym, she was thrilled to see his {{AP|Pikachu}}, as she too had a Pokémon originating from [[Kanto]], {{p|Koffing}}, and happily accepted his challenge.<br />
<br />
Roxie proved herself to be a very capable Gym Leader, defeating five of Ash's six Pokémon despite being at a disadvantage in terms of her [[party]]. She would occasionally perform a riff on her bass during the battle, and the crowd would chant her name. When she was defeated she happily congratulated Ash as the crowd cheered for his victory, and she presented him with his eighth and final Unova Badge, the Toxic Badge.<br />
<br />
Roxie reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. She also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

[[File:Roxie ANL.png|thumb|Roxie in Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~]]<br />
Roxie appeared in [[ANL2]] where she punched two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s away. Seeing the incident, Roxie wasn't convinced that [[Arata]] could take care of any Pokémon. Roxie decided to settle their score with a Pokémon battle, with Arata using the Pokémon he was able to protect from Team Plasma. During the middle of the battle, [[Bianca]] recognized Roxie as a singer and Trainer from [[Virbank City]]. Roxie confirmed her talents to Arata and doesn't sense the heart in him to become a Pokémon Trainer. After Arata protected {{p|Oshawott}} from a falling light pole, Oshawott was able to defeat Roxie. She then promised to Arata that she will battle him seriously next time and told him that she was the Gym Leader in the [[Virbank Gym]].<br />

'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br />
<br />
After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br />
<br />
Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br />
<br />
In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br />

<br />
* Post-game<br />
:''"In the past, when I was hurt and depressed, [[Alder]] shared this with me... There is strength in being with other people and Pokémon. Receiving their support makes you stronger. The young man named [[Cheren]] also seems to understand this now."''<br />

<br />
'''Dragonspiral Tower'''<br />
:''"<Player>! We'll hold [[Team Plasma|them]] here! You go on ahead!"''<br />
:''"I'm fine, but there's no time!"''<br />
:''"How could this happen?"''<br />
:''"Calm down! First, we go back! It's more important to decide what to do next than analyze what just happened."''<br />
:''"Then, I will go with [[Cedric Juniper|you]]."''<br />
:''"So, this is Dragonspiral Tower. There's a certain heaviness to the air. Did Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, who woke up here, see something in N?"''<br />
<br />
'''[[N's Castle]]'''<br />

:''"I worked as a Gym Leader, and I came to understand what he meant by that. My desire became to strengthen this relationship that makes everyone stronger - the relationship between people and Pokémon. By focusing on the path of an actor, I want to make everyone think that living together with Pokémon is exciting and wonderful."<br />

<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"You are strong! No, both you and your Pokémon are strong!"''<br />
<br />
* After winning<br />
:''"The path of an actor was something I gave up once... Because of that, I poured all of the things I was able to see and do into competition."''<br />
<br />
* In the lobby, after the tournament<br />
:''"A tournament is a story, too... And the stars of this story were you and your Pokémon."''<br />

[[File:Brycen Beartic Scene.png|thumb|250px|left|Brycen and his Beartic in a movie called "Enter the Beartic".]]<br />
Brycen made his anime debut in ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'' where he and his {{p|Beartic}} saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a falling boulder. {{an|Cilan}} was the first to recognize him as a famous movie star who had the lead role in many movies up until he decided to quit acting during the filming of another movie. He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]].<br />
<br />
Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.<br />
<br />
Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. It was then that he revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the [[Icirrus Gym]], surprising everyone.<br />
<br />
Ash battled Brycen in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'' and won, earning him his seventh [[Unova]] Gym Badge.<br />
<br />
Brycen reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

It was later used to stop poacher [[Rizzo]] and his two {{p|Jellicent}}, and save the Mountain Guardian, {{p|Volcarona}}.<br />
<br />
Beartic reappeared during Ash's Gym {{pkmn|battle}} with Brycen, as the third and final Pokémon used by him. It was able to easily defeat {{AP|Pignite}} despite the type disadvantage with its super-effective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks, leaving Ash with just {{AP|Krokorok}}. Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Dig}}. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}.<br />
<br />
As shown in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', Beartic has its own footprint at [[Pokéstar Studios]]'s Walk of Fame.<br />

He was, however, able to block Vanillish's Icicle Spear with his "pants" before firing a {{m|Focus Blast}}.

[[File:Skyla Brycen Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Brycen in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Brycen was an action movie star that excelled in martial arts. After a serious accident, he resigned from acting and became a Gym Leader. He also excelled in martial arts. Brycen, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, first appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Brycen-Man Adventures.png|thumb|left|130px|Brycen as Brycen-Man in the eleventh chapter]]<br />
Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Forces of Nature]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture. Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone. Brycen decides to train Black and takes him away to Icirrus City. Afterward, he took Black to the [[Tubeline Bridge]], where he had the Trainer train his team to get stronger. After Black had finished several steps, he was taken to the Icirrus Gym for his final training—a Gym battle against Brycen. After Brycen is defeated, he hands over the Light Stone to Black.<br />
<br />
At the Pokémon League, Brycen decides to search for clues on the kidnapped Gym Leaders. After remembering that they had no memories of the kidnapping, Brycen suspects that the Pokémon League competitor [[Hood Man]] may have something to do with it due to possessing {{p|Beheeyem}}, a Pokémon that can alter memories. To help with this investigation, Brycen enlists the help of {{adv|White}}. While White investigates the League, Brycen digs down to Team Plasma's castle, where he is confronted by five of the Seven Sages. He attempts to retaliate, only to stop once he finds out that [[Hawes]] is being used as a hostage. Brycen is approached by [[Ghetsis]], who attacks and knocks him unconscious. When Team Plasma attacks the League, Brycen is held up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders. Soon after, he is freed by {{adv|Shōko}}'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.<br />
<br />
Two years later in the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Brycen is revealed to have quit being a Gym Leader to go back to acting in Pokéstar Studios. In a Brycen-Man movie, he plays the titular character and faces off against [[Whi-Two]], who plays the role of {{p|Foongus}} Girl. Although Whi-Two easily wins, the battle is interrupted by [[Big Monster Series|Mecha Tyranitar]], which someone had forgotten to turn off. The Mecha Tyranitar causes havoc until [[Lack-Two]], playing the role of {{p|Dewott}} Kid, comes in and saves the day. Afterward, Brycen talks with Whi-Two and Lack-Two's teacher, [[Cheren]]. Although Brycen remembers Cheren from his Badge quest, Cheren confesses that he doesn't have any memory of anything past his adventure with Black in the Cold Storage. Brycen notes that there's a vacant Gym Leader spot in Aspertia City and suggests that Cheren take it, much to Cheren's surprise.<br />

'''Skyla''' (Japanese: '''フウロ''' ''Huuro'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mistralton City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Mistralton Gym]]. She specializes in {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. She gives the {{Badge|Jet}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Skyla appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Mistralton City's Gym. This Gym is the sixth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Skyla will receive the Jet Badge, along with {{TM|62|Acrobatics}}. She has a passion for flying and owns an entire airport. Her grandfather is said to be a legendary pilot.<br />
<br />
She first appears in Mistralton as the player arrives in the town. There she is speaking with [[Cedric Juniper]] about using her plane to fly to a faraway region. Before battling the player, she says that she saw an injured Pokémon atop [[Celestial Tower]] to the north and that she must help it. After the player talks to her and rings the bell at the top of the tower, she heads back to the Gym. She also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. In the {{DL|seasons|summer}}, she visits [[Cynthia]] at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.<br />
<br />
Skyla is good friends with fellow Gym Leader [[Elesa]]. Between the events of Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Elesa confided in her about changing her image.<br />
<br />
In Black 2 and White 2, Skyla returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Skyla gives out remains the same. She aids the player and [[Professor Juniper]] in reaching [[Lentimas Town]] in order to access [[Opelucid City]], due to the collapse of [[Twist Mountain]]. She flies her plane with them on board.<br />
<br />
After the player receives the [[Permit]] from Professor Juniper, Skyla will fly the player to the [[Nature Preserve]]. She is also seen in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br />

'''[[Mistralton City]]'''<br />
:''"[[Cedric Juniper|Professor]], who's that Trainer?"''<br />
:''"Oh, I see! So that means you'll be challenging the [[Mistralton Gym|Gym]]! Oh boy! I'm really looking forward to it!"''<br />
:''"Professor, my plane is a cargo plane! It carries cargo, not people! And you're talking as if places like [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]] are right around the corner!"''<br />
:''"Sheesh! It's hard to believe a happy-go-lucky guy like that could be a world-renowned Pokémon professor. Heads-up, <player>. As a [[Gym Leader]], I'd be happy to have you challenge the Gym, but there's something I need to take care of first. Just now, as I was flying the cargo plane, I saw something on top of the [[Celestial Tower]]. I'm sure that it is a sick Pokémon! If it is, I can't just leave it there! I have to look into this right away. I'm leaving for {{rt|7|Unova}}'s Celestial Tower. You can come along if you want."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Celestial Tower]]'''<br />
:''"Oh, you came. Thank you! I was right. What I saw was a hurt Pokémon. Don't worry, though! It's fine now! I gave it a {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}}, then it felt better and flew away! Hee hee! Don't I have great eyesight? No matter how far away things are, a {{tc|Pilot}}'s eyes can see them! Oh, that's right! Since you've come this far, why don't you ring the bell? Celestial Tower's bell is for soothing the spirits of Pokémon. Also, the character of the person ringing the bell is reflected in its sound."''<br />
:''"Come on, don't be shy!"''<br />
:''"What a pretty sound. <Player>, you are a kind and strong person. It's that kind of sound. I'd like to introduce myself again! I'm Skyla, the Leader of Mistralton's Pokémon Gym. I use {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. When you are ready, please come to the Gym. I'll give you a big welcome!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Mistralton Gym]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />

<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
:''"When I think about a match with a fabulous Trainer like you, it's like I'm walking on air!"''<br />

:''"This is my last Pokémon... But I'll never give up hope!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"Being your opponent in battle is a new source of strength to me. Thank you!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"You're an amazing Pokémon Trainer. My Pokémon and I are happy, because for the first time in a while, we could fight with our full strength. This is an official League Gym [[Badge]]. I think it will look good on you."''<br />
:''"Wow, hot stuff! With that many Gym Badges, Pokémon up to Lv. 70 will obey you. Also, as thanks for a Pokémon battle that made me very happy, I want you to have [[TM62|this TM]]."''<br />
:''"My present to you is {{m|Acrobatics}}. If the user doesn't have a held item, its power doubles. It's a pretty technical move. Be sure to compensate for the lack of a held item! By the way, when I flew over [[Twist Mountain]] on the way to [[Icirrus City]]... [[Team Plasma]]--is that the name? Anyway, they were heading for the city. What kind of people are they?"''<br />
:''"Icirrus City, where you'll find the next Gym, is past {{rt|7|Unova}}, just after you cross Twist Mountain. It's a hop, skip, and a jump when flying, but it's a really challenging walk. Heads up! Make sure you're ready for it!"''<br />
<br />
* Post game<br />
:''Are you and your Pokémon well? Our battle together was so much fun. Now, my Pokémon and I have started training again. I don't usually let people travel in my cargo plane, but battling with you was such a blast that I'd make an exception."''<br />
<br />
'''[[N's Castle]]'''<br />
:''"I'm fine! Don't worry!"''<br />
:''"Now! {{m|Acrobatics}}!!"''<br />
<br />
'''Cynthia's villa'''<br />
:''"I get along well with [[Elesa]], but Pokémon battles are a different story! If you're not super prepared, your battles with {{t|Electric}} types will leave you in shock!"''<br />
:''"Seeing the ground again after safely passing through a rain cloud in a violent rainstorm... Someday, I'd like to share that moment with you."''<br />
:''"I was just thinking about that. When it comes to swimsuits... You're either about self-composure or you're about self-exposure!"''<br />
:''"Even distant [[Sinnoh]] is just a hop, skip, and a jump if I use my cargo plane. But... I also love to travel the sky with a Pokémon when it's using {{m|Fly}}!"''<br />
:''"Mmm... Swimming in the ocean sure feels great!"''<br />

: ''"Professor Juniperrrrr!"''<br />
: ''"Why are you surprised, Professor? You did ask for a lift in my plane to cross [[Twist Mountain]], since you can't reach [[Opelucid City]] by foot."''<br />
: ''"Honestly! I can't tell if she's just laid back or if she's not paying attention to anything outside her head. The apple sure doesn't fall far from the tree. What's next? Are you coming to my Gym to challenge me? Or are you going to follow the professor to [[Celestial Tower]] and do some training? As long as I get to battle with a strong Trainer, I'm fine either way!"''<br />

[[File:Skyla anime.png|thumb|250px|Skyla in the anime]]<br />
Skyla made her anime debut in ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]''. Those who wished to challenge her were required to make reservations first. She would pick up to fifteen challengers at a time and have them participate in what she called an "Air Battle"—a battle that she played out in her head—instead of traditional battles. Skyla matched up her Pokémon against her opponent's and made decisions through their strengths and weaknesses. If she felt her team would have a disadvantage, she would give the challenger the {{Badge|Jet}}. However, if she felt her team had the advantage, she would deny the challenger a Badge.<br />
<br />
This method infuriated both {{Ash}} and {{an|Cilan}}. Not only did they disapprove of Skyla's methods but her own grandfather and former {{ci|Mistralton}} [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Miles}}, disapproved as well. He then explained that she used to do traditional battles and was quite good. As a result, she received floods of challengers each day and that ultimately prevented her from having any time to pilot her plane. As a Gym Leader himself, it was simply unacceptable to Cilan and he wished to challenge her.<br />
<br />
Skyla decided to battle Cilan first seeing that it would be the first time she battled another Gym Leader. She performed her "Air Battle" first and concluded that she was the winner. However, Cilan persuaded her to battle the traditional way. Like she had predicted in her head, she came out victorious in the real battle and thus did not feel she needed to change her methods at all.<br />
<br />
In order to help make her realize the true meaning of being a Gym Leader, Ash battled Skyla himself in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]''. He eventually won with his Tranquill evolving into {{AP|Unfezant}}, earning himself the {{Badge|Jet}}. She then learned not to take Air battles so lightly and promised to be a proper Gym Leader from then on.<br />
<br />
Skyla reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'' and ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]''. She also made a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Skyla Brycen Adventures.png|right|thumb|200px|Skyla in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Skyla makes her first appearance delivering a package full of Prop Cases for the [[Pokémon Musical]] after the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] has been raised, preventing anything going through it. She is shown to be flying a cargo plane and writes a message in the air to tell the people of Nimbasa to enjoy the Musical.<br />
<br />
Later, when {{adv|Black}} goes to Mistralton City with [[Clay]] to meet with the other Gym Leaders, Skyla leaves to help an injured {{p|Pidove}} on the [[Celestial Tower]] and drags Black there with her. After healing the Pidove, Skyla has Black ring the Celestial Tower's bell and "takes him" to the Gym to have a battle. There, she reveals that if Black loses, he will be forced to go back to Nuvema Town, as she could tell that he was stressed out when he rung the bell. Although worried that Team Plasma's actions could get the League closed down, Black manages to get his head together and beat Skyla. Although Black won the battle, Skyla goes off to pilot a plane with the other Gym Leaders inside. Black is shot back up to the Celestial Tower and Skyla has him ring the bell once again. Pleased with the bell's sound, Skyla has her Swanna give Black the Jet Badge and take him with the Gym Leaders to Nacrene City.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving, Skyla and the other Gym Leaders face the [[Shadow Triad]] in battle to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Skyla and the other Gym Leaders are defeated by the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Forces of Nature]]. Skyla, along with the other Gym Leaders, is kidnapped and taken to a dark room, where she had her memories of the kidnapping erased. When [[Caitlin]] used her psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders, she had them relay a message to Black during his battle with Drayden.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Skyla is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, she is freed by {{adv|Shōko}}'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.<br />

[[File:SkylaBoundariesCrossed149.jpg|200px|thumb|Right|Full Art print of Skyla]]<br />
'''Skyla''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Cold Flare}} expansion, it was later released in the {{TCG|Black Kyurem-EX Battle Strength Deck|Black Kyurem-EX}} and {{TCG|White Kyurem-EX Battle Strength Deck}}s and the {{TCG|Blastoise + Kyurem-EX Combo Deck}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} expansion, with all prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Yusuke Ohmura]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in the Japanese {{TCG|Plasma Gale}} and English Boundaries Crossed expansions, with an illustration by [[Kanako Eo]]. Skyla allows the player to search their deck for a {{TCG|Trainer card}}, show it to their opponent, and add it to their hand before shuffling the deck.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|大空の ぶっとびガール|The heavens' flying-high girl}}.<br />
* Her hair accessory seems to resemble an {{wp|Fixed-wing aircraft|airplane}} {{wp|propeller}}.<br />
* Skyla debuted in the anime in the opening for ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' which was first used in the [[BW049|season premiere]] the weekend before the Japanese airing of [[BW067|her debut episode]].<br />
* Skyla's Unfezant is male in the anime but is female in the games and [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the holster on Skyla's leg is missing in the initial frames of her sprite.<br />
* In the English dub of the anime, Skyla's Japanese voice was occasionally used to voice her Swanna.<br />

'''Clay''' (Japanese: '''ヤーコン''' ''Yakon'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Driftveil City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Driftveil Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. He gives the {{Badge|Quake}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Clay appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Driftveil City]]'s Gym. This Gym will be the fifth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Clay will receive the Quake Badge. Shortly after, he appears on {{rt|6|Unova}} to aid the player in removing the {{p|Galvantula}} web blocking the entrance to the [[Chargestone Cave]]. After his {{p|Krokorok}} removes the web, he gives {{TM|78|Bulldoze}} to the player. He also reappears again at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br />
<br />
When the player is cornered by the Seven Sages, Clay is the first of the Unova Gym Leaders to march in. He asks the player if he is tired out yet, then the rest of the Unova Gym Leaders, with the exception of Cilan, Chili and Cress, walk in and take positions opposite each sage in pairs. Drayden then tells the player to proceed in pursuit of N.<br />
<br />
Once the player gains access to the Driftveil Gym, Clay will be standing outside of the Gym, opposite [[Ghetsis]] and some {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. Ghetsis refers to Clay as the "Miner King".<br />
<br />
When the player encounters the Driftveil Gym Leader inside of Twist Mountain on his/her first visit after obtaining the Mistralton Gym Badge, he will say that Twist Mountain belongs to him, and that the player and Cheren can train on it should they wish to do so.<br />
<br />
One of the Trainers the player can battle inside the Driftveil Gym says that Clay is a company president. However, it is not known what business Clay actually owns. Another Trainer that can be battled inside the Driftveil Gym says that Clay stays at the bottom of the Gym to remind himself that he once had nothing. A backpacker inside the [[Nacrene City]] Pokémon Center says that Clay found Fossils on [[Twist Mountain]] and donated them to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene City Museum]].<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Clay gives away remains the same, though he gives it out immediately after the battle rather than outside Chargestone Cave, as there is no longer any Galvantula web blocking the entrance.<br />
<br />
After the Gym battle, Clay will take the player up his private lift to the entrance of the Gym and then leaves. Outside of the Gym, he is with Hugh and notices that the player and Hugh are friends, and then proceed to show the two Trainers to the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] south of Driftveil City. Once there, he goes inside and tells them both to join in the [[Driftveil Tournament]]. [[Cheren]] is already there and participates as well. After the tournament, Roxie turns up and learns about the tournament, and leaves again. Clay follows and leaves the player to continue the adventure.<br />

'''[[Driftveil City]]'''<br />
:''"Hrmph! So yer the Trainer [[Elesa]] was talkin' about, huh. I'm Clay. I'm the [[Gym Leader]] 'round these parts. Don't be expectin' no welcome, now. 'Cause when we lowered that bridge, the Team Plasma guys we'd caught done escaped in all the ruckus!"''<br />
:''"Ya can say whatever ya want. But what's important is y'all showed up, and then [[Team Plasma]] escaped. Maybe it's a little heavy-handed, but you oughtta start lookin' for Team Plasma, too. Yer both talented Trainers, aren't ya? Tell ya what... If ya find Team Plasma, I'll let ya challenge my Gym! Life's all about give and take!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Cold Storage]]'''<br />
:''"Well, I'll be! Hidin' in a chilly old place like this... You guys take these Pokémon robbers!"''<br />
:''"You guys ain't so bad! Yup, a promise is a promise. Come on an' challenge my Gym!"''<br />
<br />
'''Driftveil City'''<br />
:''"I don't need no thanks, now. Yer buddies were tryin' to steal some folks' Pokémon."''<br />
:''"Well, that sounds real nice, if it's true. I may not talk purty, but at least I'm an honest man. You talk real nice, but what yer sayin' kinda sounds like lyin'. So tell me plain, what are ya tryin' to say?"''<br />
:''"...Well, I can't tell if yer lyin' or not, but I reckon you've won this without a fight. Hrrmph. Fine. Take 'em and git!"''<br />
:''"Sorry to let Team Plasma go after you tracked 'em down, fellas. Say, why don't we cheer ourselves up with a Pokémon battle? Don't keep me waitin'!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Driftveil Gym]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Well.. Think it's about time fer myself what it is about yer skills that makes a Gym Leader like Elesa take such a shine to ya."''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
:''"Well I'll be! Sure didn't see that coming."''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"Givin' up's the easy way out! If I wanted, I could have given up any old time!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"Well, I've had enough... and just so you know, I didn't go easy on you."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Mrrrmph. I see. But I sure don't like it! Fer such a young 'un, ya have an imposin' battle style. I know ya got people who can dig up yer potential. Mrmph. Here! Take this!"''<br />
:''"So this is yer fifth [[Badge]], huh? If that's so, Pokémon up to Lv. 60 will obey ya. Also, I'll give ya this [[TM]]. ...Well, that was the plan, but I just remembered there's somethin' I want. Wait in front of the cave at the end of {{rt|6|Unova}}, wouldja?"''<br />
:''"What's the problem? Go wait in front of the cave at the end of Route 6!"''<br />
:''"I don't know how much potential ya got, but if ya think ya can go, go wherever, and if ya think ya can do somethin', keep doin' it. Do things how ya want! Decide yer own limits."''<br />
<br />
* Post game:<br />
:''"Mrrrmph! You, huh? Remember what I done told ya? If ya think ya can go, go wherever, and if ya think ya can do somethin', keep doin' it. Do things how ya want! Decide yer own limits."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Chargestone Cave]]'''<br />
:''"Thanks fer waitin'. Looks like th' nest of an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon called {{p|Galvantula}}. Don't know why there's a nest here, but if there are folks havin' problems, th' Gym Leader's th' one ta fix it. Krokorok! Take it out! And [[TM78|this here TM]]'s yours. It's my favorite TM, so ya can teach it ta all of yer Pokémon! It's called {{m|Bulldoze}}. This move does damage and lowers the {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon it hits. Some {{type|Ground}} Pokémon move a little slower than ya'd like. If ya use Bulldoze right, ya can cover that weakness! I don't know how good you really are, but if ya think ya can go, go wherever, and if ya think ya can do somethin', keep doin' it. Do things how ya want! Decide yer own limits.''"<br />
<br />
'''[[Twist Mountain]]'''<br />
:''"What a surprise. Seein' ya here while I was inspectin' Twist Mountain. Th' two of ya seem a bit more rugged than the last time I saw ya. A li'l bit, anyway..."''<br />
:''"By th'by... You folks seen that Team Plasma crowd lately? After all the trouble, we Gym Leaders met up and had a chat. But we've got no clue where they are. It's like they're hidin' under a rock. Well, not much to do but wait for 'em to move. Anyhow, this's none o' yer concern. Squirts like the two of ya should just enjoy travelin' with yer Pokémon. Twist Mountain's a fine place to explore! You'll have some fun if you just leave this here path... Weeell... Better ya just see it yerself, 'stead o' listenin' to me yammer. Be seein' ya, sprouts! Feel free to train yerselves on my mountain fer as long's ya like."''<br />
<br />
'''[[N's Castle]]'''<br />
:''"Can ya manage that?"''<br />
:''"Still standin', are ya, <player>?"''<br />
:''"Hrrmph! Ain't just me!"''<br />
:''"Things aren't gonna go th' way ya fellas think they are! I'm sure o' that!"''<br />
<br />
'''Badge Case'''<br />
:''Ya always want to live honestly fer yerself and yer Pokémon''<br />
<br />
===={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}====<br />
'''Driftveil Gym'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
: ''"Harrumph! Kept me waitin', didn't ya, kid? All right, time to see what ya can do!"''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
: ''"Impressive! That's some strength you've got!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
: ''"No hard feelings, but I'm extremely stubborn!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
: ''"Man oh man… It feels good to go all out and still be defeated!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
: ''"Phew… You're really somethin'! Li'l whippersnapper Trainers who pack a real punch keep showin' up one after another. Mrmph. Here! Take this!"''<br />
: ''"So this is yer fifth Badge, huh? If that's so, Pokémon up to Lv. 60 will obey ya. Here! Take [[TM78|this]], too!"''<br />
: ''"Well, I suppose… Come thisaway!"''<br />
<br />
* In the Gym's hall<br />
: ''"Good dancers are crucial fer puttin' on a good show!"''<br />
<br />
'''In front of the Gym'''<br />
: ''"Oh, so you two squirts know each other, huh? Ya both ain't bad, so I wanna show ya somethin'."''<br />
: ''"There's always room for folks to grow and change, ain't there? And, if ya only go after what ya think is right, ya might end up rejectin' all thoughts and opinions other than yer own. That's mighty dangerous."''<br />
: ''"Ya ever heard of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]? Trainers from all over the world gather on up to see who's toughest!"''<br />
: ''"Well then, I'll be waitin' for you at the south end of town!"''<br />
<br />
'''Pokémon World Tournament'''<br />
* Introducing the Tournament<br />
: ''"Here we are! Whaddya think? Great buildin', huh? Here's where the Pokémon World Tournament takes place! Ain't she purty? Follow me, tads!"''<br />
: ''"This time, I'm gonna have ya participate in the [[Driftveil Tournament]]. Anything goes in this here tournament! Eight people will be participatin', and if ya win three times, yer the champion!"''<br />
: ''"Ya know somethin', [[Cheren]]. The one who's gotta show everyone what Pokémon battlin' means--is you. And yer pal ain't here, either! I'm countin' on the power of youth, 'cause everyone likes up-and-comin' stars! OK! Whenever yer ready, get on over to reception!"''<br />
* After the Driftveil Tournament<br />
: ''"An outstandin' battle, runts! Now everybody's gonna want to join in on this here tournament an' show their stuff!"''<br />
: ''"See what I mean? People are pourin' in already! If the strongest Trainers from all over join in, it'll raise up everybody's level of skill! An' then, li'l ol' Driftveil City will grow even more and make a heap of money! So keep on bustin' those battles and rilin' everybody up! See ya!"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (first round)<br />
:''"Yer tougher than ya were when I gave ya that Gym Badge, right? Well, how 'bout we have ourselves a look and see what ya can do now."''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (second round)<br />
:''"How much stronger ya get comes from how much you want to win! Always be loyal to that desire, ya hear?"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (final battle)<br />
:''"If ya want ta win, don't make excuses! Got it? If yer gonna bellyache, just forget 'bout fightin'! Well, I might be fussin' 'bout nothing when it comes to you."''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"Well, I've had enough... And just so you know, I didn't go easy on you."''<br />
<br />
* If the player is defeated<br />
:''"It's simple, hear! I wanted to win more than ya did!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Fer such a young 'un, ya have an imposin' battle style. I wonder what kind a journey ya had that made ya so strong. But, I still don't like losin'!"''<br />
<br />
* After winning<br />
:''"What's important is how ya react to losin'. That's why folks who use losin' as fuel to get better are tough."''<br />
<br />
* In the lobby, after the tournament<br />
:''"Am I all right with a Trainer like ya winning the Tournament, ya say? Ya think there're stronger Trainers out there yet? Talented Trainers who think like that are just who I want to come here to Driftveil City!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Memory Link]] - Different Bones and Dreams'''<br />
:''"Hey there! What's everyone all gathered up for?"''<br />
:''(to [[Burgh]]) "Found a Fossil in Twist Mountain. I came here to have [[Lenora]] look at it and see if ya wanted to keep it here or somethin'."''<br />
:''"Hmm? Well now... No matter who ya are or when ya die, bones are all that'll be left of ya. When ya think about it, it's amazin'. Even if ya die, ya can make money! Some Fossils are worth a lot, ya know!"''<br />
:''(to Lenora) "Here ya go! Whaddaya think? It's gotta be worth a mint as a specimen or as a collectible! Which is it?"''<br />
:''"That so? Guess my Twist Mountain still has unlimited potential! All right! I'll keep on diggin' my Clay Tunnel! Here, Burgh! That plain ol' Fossil's yours! Have a look at it and think about what bones mean to ya."''<br />

'You know how Gym Leader Clay never takes off his hat? Well, the other day I finally saw him take it off... And underneath his big hat was a fluffy knit hat! He wears two hats! Weird, huh?' Hmm...

[[File:Clay anime.png|250px|thumb|Clay in the anime]]<br />
Clay made his first appearance in ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him right after they had arrived at [[Driftveil City]], and Ash asked him for a battle. However, he refused to battle Ash at the time because he had to check out a mine at the edge of town. Ash would try to battle Clay again in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' but he refused yet again. He claimed that he could not have a battle with him if he did not have any {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s. When Ash asked what they were, Clay criticized him for not knowing and said that he probably wouldn't be worth battling. However, he did promise a battle if he brought him some Revival Herbs.<br />
[[File:Clay young.png|thumb|left|220px|Clay as a child]]<br />
After Ash obtained the herbs in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', he immediately went to Clay in [[BW061|the next episode]]. He was surprised that Ash was able to get the herbs and finally accepted his challenge. Ash managed to defeat Clay and he gave him the {{Badge|Quake}}.<br />
<br />
Clay is shown to have started his life as a miner when he was around Ash’s age with his Excadrill. One of his mines would later become the [[Driftveil Gym]]. He greatly values experience through hard work and views Ash's youth and inexperience with contempt, though he later gains new respect for the young Trainer after their battle. Clay prefers a frontal assault style of battling and becomes enraged when Ash uses strategy like his {{AP|Snivy}}'s {{m|Attract}} to stop his Palpitoad. <br />
<br />
Clay reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

[[File:Elesa Clay Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Clay in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Clay makes his first appearance digging around [[Desert Resort]]. When one of his men finds a [[Dragon Stones|mysterious]], Clay tells them to just ignore it. When Clay touches the stone, he experiences a surge of power rush through his body. He reports his find to [[Lenora]] and asks her to come take the stone and investigate it. As they talk, the [[Shadow Triad]] spy on Clay and plan to steal the stone from him.<br />
<br />
When {{adv|Black}} travels to Driftveil City to get his fifth Gym Badge, he finds that the drawbridge is currently down for maintenance. Elesa tells Black that Clay is currently trying to fix it, but Black decides to just travel on the drawbridge anyway. There, he encounters [[N]]'s {{p|Zorua}}, who had sabotaged the drawbridge and prevented it from moving. After driving it away, Black meets Clay, who he initially mistakes for being another one of Zorua's {{a|Illusion}}s. They quickly clear up the confusion, but Clay attacks Black for being insulted earlier.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving in Driftveil City, Black is unable to have his Gym battle due to Clay's bad mood. Clay decides to let Black have his battle after realizing that he could help with the stone he found in Desert Resort. As they battle, Clay tells Black that the stone he found was actually the Dark Stone, the stone form of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}} and that Team Plasma is currently aiming on stealing it. Clay also reveals that the Gym Leaders are fully aware of this plan and that they intend on joining together to stop the Shadow Triad from getting the Dark Stone. After losing the battle, Clay takes Black to the [[Celestial Tower]] at [[Mistralton City]] to meet up with the other Gym Leaders.<br />

When {{adv|Black}} comes to have his Gym battle, Clay reveals that the stone he found was actually the stone form of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}} and that Team Plasma aims to steal it. Clay also reveals that the Gym Leaders are fully aware of this plan and that they intend on joining together to stop the Shadow Triad from getting the Dark Stone. After losing the battle, Clay takes Black to the [[Celestial Tower]] at [[Mistralton City]] to meet up with the other Gym Leaders. Once [[Skyla]] finishes her Gym battle with Black, she takes the group to [[Nacrene City]] to help Lenora after she had already began her battle with the thieves. Although they manage to win with teamwork, the Shadow Triad reveal their trump card, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}. They use the three to defeat and kidnap the Gym Leaders to prevent further interference. <br />
<br />
Clay and the other Gym Leaders were taken to a dark room in [[N's Castle]]. They had their memories tampered with so that they do not have any recollection of how they were kidnapped. When searching for a way to rescue the Gym Leaders, [[Caitlin]] used psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders. She was unable to find out their location, but she found that the Gym Leaders were unharmed. She also used her powers to relay a message to Black in his Gym battle against Drayden.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Clay is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Black tries to save them, but is stopped by [[Ghetsis]] and the [[Seven Sages]]. With no way to rescue his friends, several Trainers that Black met on his journey arrive to rescue the Gym Leaders in Black's place. Through teamwork, the Trainers manage to free the Gym Leaders from their bindings. The Gym Leaders then help to stop Team Plasma from attacking the League.<br />

'''Elesa''' (Japanese: '''カミツレ''' ''Kamitsure'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nimbasa City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Nimbasa Gym]]. She specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Bolt}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===Role===<br />
Elesa makes her debut in {{game|Black and White|s}}, serving as the Nimbasa City Gym Leader. This Gym is the fourth that the player may challenge. The player can challenge her to a battle after riding a series of roller coasters to her location, a process involving the flipping of multiple switches so the tracks take the player to her.<br />
<br />
Elesa specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. She utilizes a strategy that involves using {{m|Volt Switch}} between her two {{p|Emolga}}, and later {{p|Zebstrika}}. Upon defeating her, she will reward the player with the Bolt Badge and {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}.<br />
<br />
Outside of battle, Elesa is a supermodel. She appears when [[Bianca]] attempts to convince her father to allow her to become a Pokémon Trainer. Elesa aids her, convincing Bianca's father to give his daughter the permission to follow her dream. When the player leaves Nimbasa City, it is Elesa who appears briefly on {{rt|5|Unova}} and tells the bridge guard to lower the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] so the player may cross it. She then appears at [[N's Castle]], where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]] while the player goes after N. While not strictly relevant to the plot, Elesa also visits [[Cynthia]] in the summer at [[Undella Town]] in her villa, as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.<br />
<br />
Elesa is good friends with fellow Gym Leader [[Skyla]]. In between the events of Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, she confided in Skyla about changing her image. She reveals that she is conscious about the reserved image she displays, and has a fondness for bad puns.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Elesa returns as a Gym Leader. The player has to go back to the old Gym and talk to one of Elesa's models where Elesa used to be to have access to the new Gym which is an actual catwalk and fashion show. The TM Elesa gives away remains the same. After gaining access to the new Gym and defeating Elesa, she walks the player back down the catwalk to the entrance. She later participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br />

'''[[Nimbasa City]]'''<br />
:''"Sweetie, you keep going on your travels."''<br />
:''"My name is Elesa. I'm this town's Gym Leader. I also happen to be a model."''<br />
:''"You know, there are many people in this world. There are people whose way of thinking may be completely different from yours. Sometimes, this means you may get hurt."''<br />
:''"But it's important to keep trying, to learn about the differences between yourself and others... To learn that being different is OK. And you shouldn't worry. Trainers always have Pokémon at their side. Pokémon are wonderful. It's not only how cute they can be, but also how much you can depend on them..."''<br />
:''"I'm sure he traveled as a Trainer himself, in the past... Being a parent must be hard."''<br />
:''"Did I meddle unnecessarily? You looked troubled, so I decided to chime in."''<br />
:''"By the way, if you're Trainers, please stop by the Pokémon Gym. I'll teach you a little something about how tough a journey can get."''{{tt|*|If Elesa has not been defeated}}<br />
:''"I'm sorry, <player>. I'll be waiting on Route 5."''{{tt|*|If Elesa is already defeated}}<br />
<br />
'''[[Nimbasa Gym]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Did the fantastic speed leave you dizzy? My beloved Pokémon will be the next one to make your head spin!"''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
:''"You and your Pokémon... are shining brilliantly!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"A properly dramatic victory requires a dash of danger and a pinch of peril."''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"I meant to make your head spin, but you shocked me instead."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"My, oh my... You have a sweet fighting style. I mean, you're a great Trainer! Excuse me, I...uh... Oh, here! I want you to have this!"''<br />
:''"If you have four [[Badge]]s, including this {{badge|Bolt}}, Pokémon up to Lv. 50, including traded Pokémon, will obey you. Also, here's this move I like. Feel free to use it, um, if you want to."''<br />
:''"{{m|Volt Switch}} lets the Pokémon switch with a different Pokémon after attacking. Of course, if you don't have another Pokémon in your party, you can't switch."''<br />
:''"You're going to [[Driftveil City]] next? Of course. There is a Pokémon Gym there, after all. Oh... I bet you won't be able to get there. You know what? I'll fix it so you can cross. Wait for me on {{rt|5|Unova}}."''<br />
:''"What you'd like to do... What your Pokémon would like to do... Don't you think it could be amazing if those are aligned?"''<br />
<br />
* Post game:<br />
:''"I think the real me is the one who battles with Pokémon as a [[Gym Leader]]. A model's job is to make someone else's vision look like a reality. It's interesting but it's not easy..."''<br />
<br />
'''{{rt|5|Unova}}'''<br />
:''"Oh, you two are friends... That's nice, how you're helping each other get better by competing. OK, let's go."''<br />
:''"This is [[Alder]], the Unova region's {{pkmn|Champion}}."''<br />
:''"Let's roll. The [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] is just ahead."''<br />
:''"Now to contact him... It's me, Elesa. Please lower the drawbridge. I have a couple of Trainers here who want to challenge you. OK... Thanks. Now, watch this! I have a TV gig, so I've got to go. The Gym Leader of the next town may take some getting used to... Do your best, both of you."''<br />
<br />
'''[[N's Castle]]'''<br />
:''"Ignoring [[Team Plasma]]... That would be a terrible thing for us Gym Leaders to do."''<br />
:''"I do not appreciate stubborn people."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Cynthia]]'s villa'''<br />
:''"I must say it's difficult for people to draw out a Pokémon's charm if they don't have any themselves."''<br />
:''"You know [[Nimbasa City]]? You know it runs on energy generated by {{type|Electric}} Pokémon? ...Just kidding!"''<br />
:''"Getting wrapped up in worries is bad for your body and spirit. That's when you must short out your logic circuits and reboot your heart."''<br />
:''"Without a word... Without even a whisper... My Pokémon connect me to other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, transmitting the current of my feelings."''<br />
:''"Put bluntly, swimsuits are nothing but cloth, right?"''<br />
<br />

'''Nimbasa Gym'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
: ''"Welcome to the main stage! My beloved Pokémon and your Pokémon shall compete! We're going to see whose star shines brightest!"''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
: ''"You and your Pokémon's moves are simply dazzling!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
: ''"You shocked me through and through! You melted my heart!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
: ''"Well… Now you… you're an even more wonderful Trainer than I expected. Your sweet fighting style swept me off my feet! Take this!"''<br />
: ''"If you have four Badges, including this Bolt Badge, Pokémon up to Lv. 50, including traded Pokémon, will obey you. Also, here's this move I like. Feel free to use it, um, if you want to."''<br />

'''[[Memory Link]] - Taking it to The Next Level'''<br />
:''"[[Skyla]], can I ask you a favor?"''<br />
:''"I've decided I need a PR makeover! I wanted to try out my new ideas with you, Skyla!"''<br />
:''"That's right! Here's the thing. I make what everyone thinks is cool into a reality, right? Well, I get to do what I want to do, and while being a model may be difficult, most importantly, it's fun! But the hard parts are really hard. I mean, everyone judges me simply based on my appearance. People say I'm reserved, and that I don't look like the type who would tell jokes!"''<br />
:''"So, I've been thinking about it constantly since then!"''<br />
:''"A sophisticated joke!"''<br />
:''"How should I put it... My looks suggest that I'm not a lot of fun. But I'll tear down that mistaken image with my own hands! I'll say something silly and give someone an opportunity to call me out, so we can all have a good laugh!"''<br />
:''"OK, get a load of this! Throw that misbehaving {{p|Klink}} in the clink!"''<br />
:''"{{p|Cofagrigus}} is so cool! Don't you *cough* agree, Gus?"''<br />
:''"You bought those Fossils from [[Clay]]? Did you buy them on Clay-away?"''<br />
:''"Exactly! If I were to make bad puns when I'm supposed to be telling a joke, doesn't it give people even more of an opportunity to tease me and start a funny back-and-forth?"''<br />
:''"Really? I guess I'll just rethink my fashion first."''<br />
:''"You bet! And don't call me Shirley!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Pokémon World Tournament]]'''<br />
* Before battle (first round)<br />

<br />
* Before battle (second round)<br />

<br />
* Before battle (final round)<br />
:''"{{tt|C'est fini|French for 'It is finished'}}! When I'm certain of that, I feel an electric jolt run through my body! I want to feel the sensation, so now my beloved Pokémon are going to make your head spin!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"I meant to make your head spin, but you shocked me instead."''<br />
<br />
* If the player is defeated<br />
:''"That was unsatisfying somehow... Will you give it your all next time?"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"My, oh my... You have a sweet fighting style."''<br />
<br />
* After winning<br />
:''"You're a shining star of a Trainer, but my Pokémon shone brighter!"''<br />
<br />
* In the lobby, after the tournament<br />

Hmmm, that sounds like a Gym Leader I know. Well, let's see... 'The Gym Leader Elesa said that Nimbasa's Pokémon can dance a nimble bossa! Nobody laughed, but I thought it was really funny! What do you think?' Hmmm... It really seems like Elesa needs to come up with a sneakier pen name. Well, whatever! 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Elesa anime.png|thumb|250px|Elesa in the anime]]<br />
Elesa made her debut appearance in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{an|Bianca}} went to one of her modelling shows in order to request a Gym Battle. Elesa was excited to see [[Ash's Pikachu]] and even left the runway just so she could get a closer look. Later, Elesa battled Bianca in a three-on-three match and easily defeated all of Bianca's Pokémon with her powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}.<br />
<br />
Elesa battled {{Ash}} in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]''. Although Ash proved to be a far tougher opponent than Bianca had, she still gave the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} a tough time in her Gym. However Ash was able to pull through and earn himself a {{badge|Bolt}}.<br />
<br />
Elesa reappeared in fantasy in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''. She reappeared ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' and ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. She also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

Zebstrika proved itself to be extremely powerful, knocking out all three of Bianca's Pokémon with little effort.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Zebstrika was used against [[Ash's Palpitoad]] during his challenge for a Badge. However, as Palpitoad was part {{type|Ground}}, Wild Charge would not work and Flame Charge did little damage. Although Zebstrika's Double Kick was powerful against Palpitoad, it was hit with Palpitoad's {{m|Supersonic}}, leaving it confused. A combination of {{m|Mud Shot}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} finally knocked it out.<br />
<br />
Zebstrika's known moves are {{m|Flame Charge}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, {{m|Wild Charge}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}.}}<br />

Using a combination of Attract and Aerial Ace, she was able to knock out [[Ash's Palpitoad]]. Next, she went up against {{AP|Snivy}}. As both Pokémon were female, Attract could not work; however, after dodging Snivy's attacks and recovering from a {{m|Leaf Storm}}, Emolga was able to defeat Snivy using Aerial Ace and Acrobatics—moves Snivy was weak against. Finally, Emolga was sent up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, but since the recent battles had taken their toll, Emolga was knocked out with a {{m|Quick Attack}}.<br />

Ash was confused by the unusual Pokémon that, despite being fish-like in appearance, could float in mid-air. Elesa worked around Tynamo's inability to learn more than a few moves by training her so her Tackle was extremely powerful, causing Pikachu to struggle. However, after Pikachu pulled himself together, he started to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the entire battlefield. With her view obscured, Tynamo was knocked out with just one {{m|Iron Tail}}. She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''.<br />

[[File:Elesa Clay Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Elesa in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
She is briefly seen with other Nimbasa City officials when talking to White and negotiating with the [[BW Agency]] about the [[Pokémon Musical]] since Nimbasa City was starting to dwindle with its tourism, although Elesa didn't appear to be very interested. Later, when the Musical was being set up, Elesa was seen dressing up her Zebstrika in support of it. She informs {{adv|Black}} that their Gym Battle will have to wait until the Musical ends. Later, Black and Elesa have their Gym battle despite the fact that Black becomes stuck in her Gym's coaster car. Eventually, Black manages to defeat her but before he can take the Badge, he is sent to the outside of the Gym from a thunderstorm caused by the Pokémon {{p|Thundurus}}.<br />
<br />
Elesa, along with her fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, she and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Elesa and the other Gym Leaders fell to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Forces of Nature]]. Elesa, along with the other Gym Leaders, is kidnapped and taken to a dark room, where they had their memories of the kidnapping erased. When [[Caitlin]] used her psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders, she had them relay a message to Black.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Elesa is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, she is freed by {{adv|Shōko}}'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Elesa (Legendary Treasures RC20)}}<br />
[[File:ElesaLegendaryTreasuresRC20.jpg|200px|thumb|Right|Elesa]]<br />
'''Elesa''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Collection}} Concept Pack, it later debuted in English in the Radiant Collection subset of the {{TCG|Legendary Treasures}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Yusuke Ohmura]] artwork of the character. With a similar effect to {{TCG ID|Arceus|Department Store Girl|85}} from the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion, Elesa allows the player to search their deck for three {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s; the cards are revealed and added to the player's hand before the deck is shuffled.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Elesa's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|シャイニング ビューティ|Shining beauty}}.<br />
* Elesa is the only female {{type|Electric}} Gym Leader.<br />
* Elesa is the only returning Gym Leader from {{2v2|Black|White}} to receive a redesign in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.<br />
* In Elesa's Memory Link's speech she says: "And don't call me Shirley!", a reference to the film ''{{wp|Airplane!}}''.<br />

'''Burgh''' (Japanese: '''アーティ''' ''Arty'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Castelia City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Castelia Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Bug}} Pokémon. He gives the {{Badge|Insect}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===Role===<br />
Burgh appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Castelia City's Gym, the third Gym to be challenged by the player. He is also an artist and apparently started his career in [[Nacrene City]], which he often comes back to when he gets "artist's block." Trainers who defeat Burgh will receive the Insect Badge, along with {{TM|76|Struggle Bug}}.<br />
<br />
He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Burgh returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Burgh gives away remains the same. Before the Gym battle, he is seen in the [[Castelia Sewers]] after the player and Hugh defeat several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. He comes out of the doorway leading to the [[Relic Passage]], then returns to the Gym. He also appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br />

===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br />
'''[[Nacrene City]]'''<br />
:''"Good day, [[Lenora]]. Find any good [[Fossil]]s lately?"<br />
:''"Eh? Just looking for a change of pace. Seems hectic or something around here. What's up?"''<br />
:''"Uh-huh. You are...<player>, is it? Are you raring to round up our robbers?"''<br />
<br />
'''Pinwheel Forest'''<br />
* Outside Pinwheel Forest<br />
:''"This leads to [[Pinwheel Forest]]. If they manage to scuttle off into the forest, we might have trouble."''<br />
<br />
* Inside Pinwheel Forest<br />
:''"Well, you see... There are two ways out of Pinwheel Forest--the road that goes straight and the path that winds through the woods. I will take the straight road after them! If they're not there, I'll block the exit. Would you please take the other way and check whether [[Team Plasma]] is hiding in there somewhere? You'll run into a lot of Trainers, but it's basically a single path, so I'm sure you won't get lost. Come on! Let's do this for Lenora's sake!"''<br />
:''"Mm-hmm? Team Plasma hasn't come in this direction... The forest's {{t|bug}} Pokémon are quiet, too."''<br />
<br />
* After defeating the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} with the {{key|V|Dragon Skull}}<br />
:''"Oh, sweet! The bug Pokémon were getting all worked up, so here I come, and what do I spy with my little eye? This important looking guy! Are you here to help your friends, whom I defeated?"''<br />
:''"Hmmm... We got back the stolen skull and if we corner them, there's no telling what they might do. I think I'll be heading back Lenora... Well now. Well... I'll be waiting for your challenge at [[Castelia City]]'s Pokémon Gym. Yes indeed. I'm certainly looking forward to it!"''<br />
<br />
'''Castelia City'''<br />
* Outside [[Castelia Gym]]<br />
:''"Ah hah! You're the one who fought Team Plasma in Pinwheel Forest... If I remember, your name is... <player>! Come to challenge the Gym, I suppose? Aww. Sorry, but could you wait a bit? I was informed that Team Plasma has shown up! In fact... Come with me! I'm going to the dock at Prime Pier!"''<br />
<br />
* At Prime Pier<br />
:''"Come on! This way! Team Plasma... They took this young lady's Pokémon"''<br />
:''"[[Iris]]... You did everything you could"''<br />
:''"Agreed! No fear--we will get that Pokémon back. Right, <player>? Having said that, finding a person or Pokémon here in Castelia City will be like finding a needle in a haystack."''<br />
:''"<Player>, let's go! Iris! You stay by that young lady's side."''<br />
<br />
* On the main street<br />
:''"That way! M'hm. There, heading toward the Gym?!"''<br />
<br />
* On Gym Street<br />
:''"This is definitely the place. Looks like our only option is to battle them and go in."''<br />
:''"Oh please! <Player>, I'll leave that one to you!"''<br />
:''"Team Plasma is inside. The stolen Pokémon may be there as well. Okay, I'm going in!<br />
<br />
* In Team Plasma's hideout<br />
:''"So, what would you say is the guiding principle of Team Plasma, anyway? "Take what you want from people"?<br />
:''"Here in Castelia, we have a lot of different kinds of people. Everyone's ways of thinking and lifestyles are very different. Honestly, there's something about what you're saying I don't quite understand."''<br />
:''"One thing we all have in common is that we all care a lot about Pokémon. Even meeting for the first time people can talk about Pokémon. Talk or {{pkmn|battle}} or [[trade]]... Remember your speech at [[Accumula Town]]? You were responsible for leading me to rethink my relationship with Pokémon. For that, I thank you. At that time, I made a promise... I swore to myself that I would dedicate myself to Pokémon even more strongly! What you guys are doing... Aren't you going to strengthen the bond between people and Pokémon even more?"''<br />
:''"Gah! What do we do if anything's happened to the other stolen Pokémon?"''<br />
:''"What is everyone planning to do now?"''<br />
:''"Uh-hm. That's great! Iris is a dazzling Pokémon Trainer, but maybe not at home in the big city yet? So, a little give-and-take, hm! People and Pokémon need help to each other out."''<br />
:''"Well, then, <player>. I'll be waiting in the Gym."''<br />

<br />

:''"Aww... I lost. Whatever! Losing to you doesn't bug me because you are a-MAZ-ingly strong! This is the Gym Badge! You beat me, so it's yours!"''<br />
<br />
:''"It's the Insect Badge! It's insectible--I mean, incredible! If you have three Badges, Pokémon up to Lv. 40 will obey you, including traded Pokémon. Because I'm a generous guy, I'll also give you this."''<br />
<br />
:''"{{m|Struggle Bug}} also lowers the Sp. Atk of the target that was damaged. I'm the best guy to tell you, it's the little things that count!"''<br />
<br />
:''"How many discoveries have you made since you started your adventure? When I was a kid, my innocent heart was captured by the beauty of bug Pokémon. I drew with them and battled with them, and after all this time, I continue to discover new things. A world shared with Pokémon is a world swarming with mysteries."''<br />

Dwebble's round little eyes are cute! It's resilient and reliable! My ace is Leavanny! It's really the best! I think it's so sweet how it makes clothes for other Pokémon out of leaves. Of course, I'm really proud of all of my Pokémon! Well now… Let's get right to it!"''<br />

'''[[Memory Link]] - Different Bones and Dreams'''<br />
:''(to [[Lenora]]) "Hmm... Bones, perhaps..."''<br />
:''"Maybe... Or maybe not... Many Bug-type Pokémon have hard coverings, right? Their so-called exoskeletons. So I don't quite understand bones. Not at all, actually."''<br />
:''"Mmm... Well, for starters, what do bones mean to you?"''<br />
:''"Oohhh... I kind of understand. I'm also fascinated by the functional, efficient designs of Bug-type Pokémon, such as the shape of their legs."''<br />
:''(to [[Clay]]) "What brings you here?"''<br />
:''"Clay. What do bones mean to you?"''<br />
:''(to Lenora) "What do you mean?"''<br />
:''"Thank you, Lenora. I guess it's OK that I have my own perspective on what bones mean to me, right?"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Burgh anime.png|thumb|250px|Burgh in the anime]]<br />
Burgh debuted in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]''. He first appears in [[Pinwheel Forest]] when {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} climb the tallest tree in the forest, and they were surprised to find Burgh in a cocoon-like cloak, hanging from the tree. He introduces himself to the gang and shows them his sketches of the forest. Suddenly a {{AP|Sewaddle}}, who has taken a liking to Burgh, jumps up on his shoulder. He tells the trio that the Sewaddle had been accompanying him through the forest, even though it is not his Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The next day, Burgh and the kids discover an ill {{p|Patrat}}, and he is able to heal it with some medicine. Suddenly Sewaddle is attached to a {{p|Deerling}} and falls into a raging river along with Ash. Burgh sends out his {{p|Leavanny}}, which uses {{m|String Shot}} to save them. Sewaddle's leaf on its head is damaged, but Leavanny fashions it a new one. Later, Burgh says his goodbyes to the group.<br />
<br />
Burgh appears once more in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. He and the group investigate mysterious sounds coming from the sewer system in [[Castelia City]]. They discover and injured {{p|Venipede}} that Ash rescues from a pipe. Burgh quickly treats is wounds but wonders why it is in the sewer in the first place when Venipede live in the wasteland outside of the city. When the group returns to the surface, they find that a swarm of Venipede is reeking havoc on the city.<br />
<br />
Burgh becomes somewhat angry to find out that [[Mayor of Castelia City|the mayor]] plans to get rid of the Venipede using force and protests the idea. The mayor eventually decides to let him handle it. His idea was to find the leader of the Venipede and have [[Nurse Joy's Audino]] use {{m|Heal Pulse}} on it. He, Ash, and {{an|Iris}} eventually locate the leader only to see it be attacked by [[Trip]] and his {{p|Lampent}}. Burgh orders him to stop and tells him that he is only making things worse.<br />
<br />
Once Nurse Joy's Audino uses Heal Pulse on the leader, Burgh plays his Bug Flute and leads the Venipede out of the City. He sees Ash and {{ashfr}} off at the end of the episode when they decided to go with [[Professor Juniper]] to investigate the [[Desert Resort]].<br />
<br />
Ash battled him in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. Ash won the battle, earning him the {{Badge|Insect}}.<br />
<br />
Burgh reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'' and ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

|desc={{p|Leavanny}} debuted in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', when {{AP|Sewaddle}} is accidentally attached to a {{p|Deerling}} and then thrown into a raging river. When Ash jumps in after it, Burgh sends Leavanny out and tells it to use {{m|String Shot}}, which saves them from falling over a waterfall. It later fashioned leaves to place on the head of Sewaddle after its last head-cover had been ruined by the Deerling and the river.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', it battled Ash's Swadloon and won easily. It later disabled {{AP|Pikachu}} with String Shot and dominated the battle until Pikachu used Leavanny's {{m|Leaf Storm}} to cut free from the threads and bombarded it with all of his attacks.<br />

Leavanny was seen in a flashback in ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', when Ash's Swadloon evolved into a Leavanny and started making similar head-covers as Burgh's Leavanny.<br />
<br />
It also reappeared in another flashback in ''[[BW103|Certain Up, Unova League!]]''.<br />
<br />
Leavanny's known moves are {{m|String Shot}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Lenora Burgh Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Burgh in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Burgh first appears in [[Nacrene City]] where he bumps into {{adv|Black}} while he was chasing after the stolen {{type|Dragon}} skeleton. Having come there looking for inspiration to cure his artist's block, Burgh joins Black in his search for the Fossil. Together, they find the culprits, [[Team Plasma]], and defeat them in battle to retrieve the Dragon-type Skeleton back for the Nacrene City museum. Having gotten his inspiration back, the two say their goodbyes and Burgh hopes that they will meet again in [[Castelia City]].<br />
<br />
In Castelia City, Burgh is seen talking to [[Iris]] about his upcoming Gym Battle and becomes disheartened when she criticizes his most recent piece of art as not being as good as his previous ones. Later, he and Black have their Gym Battle at the Castelia Gym with Black emerging as the victor. Iris soon arrives with an unconscious girl named {{adv|Bianca}} who had her Pokémon kidnapped. Together, with Black, {{adv|White}}, and Iris, Burgh manages to find the kidnappers, Team Plasma, and force them to retreat.<br />
<br />
Later, Burgh, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Burgh and the other Gym Leaders are defeated by the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Forces of Nature]]. Burgh, along with the other Gym Leaders, are kidnapped and taken to a dark room, where they had their memories of the kidnapping erased. When [[Caitlin]] used her psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders, she had them relay a message to Black.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Burgh is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, he is freed by {{adv|Shōko}}'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.<br />

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters BW manga===<br />
[[File:Burgh PMBW.png|thumb|Burgh in the Pocket Monsters manga]]<br />
<br />
Burgh makes an appearance in [[PMBW09]] of the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga as the third Gym Leader {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} encounters.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|モスト インセクト アーティスト|Most insect artist}}.<br />
* Burgh is the only returning Gym Leader in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} that does not use a pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in their initial Gym battle.<br />
** He is also the only Gym Leader to completely replace one of his initial three Pokémon in Challenge Mode, replacing his Swadloon with a Shelmet.<br />
* Burgh uses an [[Game move errors|illegal]] {{p|Accelgor}} in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, during the [[Unova Leaders Tournament]]. This Accelgor knows both the moves {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Guard Split}}, both of which it is able to learn by [[breeding]]. However, it should be unable to learn them simultaneously, as it can receive Guard Split only from {{p|Shuckle}} while it must get Spikes from the {{p|Pineco}} family.<br />

'''Lenora''' (Japanese: '''アロエ''' ''Aloe'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Nacrene Gym]]. She specializes in {{type|Normal}} Pokémon. She gives the {{Badge|Basic}} to Trainers who defeat her. In addition to being the Nacrene City Gym Leader, Lenora is also the director of the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum|Nacrene Museum}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Lenora appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Nacrene City's Gym. This Gym is the second to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Lenora will receive the Basic Badge, along with {{TM|67|Retaliate}}.<br />
<br />
She appears again in [[Pinwheel Forest]] after the player defeats [[Team Plasma]], where she gives the player a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. She also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. In the summer, she visits [[Cynthia]] at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.<br />
<br />
In the two years between Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Lenora has stepped down from her position as a Gym Leader to focus on her work at the [[Nacrene Museum]]. When first visiting the museum she will give the player a choice between the [[Cover Fossil]] or [[Plume Fossil]]. She also participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br />

:''(to [[Clay]]) "I can't tell if you're kidding, but of course you would think that way. Burgh is trying hard to think about what bones mean to him. Don't be so flippant! So what kind of Fossil have you got there? Let me see."''<br />
:''"Well, I mean this in a good way, but it's an ordinary Fossil. If it isn't worth much as a specimen, you can't sell it for much. But I'm curious about the soil attached to the Fossil..."''<br />

:''(to Burgh) "Why not? You, me, Clay... We all have a different way of thinking about what bones mean to us. It would be kind of creepy if we all felt the exact same way, right?

[[File:Lenora anime.png|thumb|250px|Lenora in the original version]]<br />
Lenora made her debut appearance in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', where she was revealed to have shut her [[Nacrene Gym|Gym]]. Later, inside the museum, when a {{p|Yamask}} had possessed {{an|Cilan}}, she appeared and used her {{p|Watchog}}'s {{a|Illuminate}} to show the presence of Yamask and returned Cilan to normal. She told them that Yamask had been taken with the exhibit without it knowing and had accidentally dropped its mask. In the end Lenora—along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, Cilan, and Hawes—released Yamask into the world.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', she accepted Ash's offer to battle her for a Badge; however, Ash's Pokémon were easily defeated. In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', she battled Ash in a rematch. This time, Ash was able to defeat her, earning himself the {{Badge|Basic}}.<br />
<br />
Lenora was mentioned in ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. She also reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'' and ''[[BW126|Crowning the Scalchop King!]]'', along with making a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', it was sent out to battle [[Ash's Oshawott]], first using {{m|Mean Look}} to prevent it from returning to its [[Poké Ball]]. While Oshawott was initially able to withstand its {{m|Thunderbolt}} with its [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]], Watchog quickly separated Oshawott and its scalchop, allowing it to defeat Oshawott with its {{type|Electric}} attack.<br />
<br />
Watchog was seen again during Ash and Lenora's rematch in ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]''. Like before, it used Mean Look to trap Oshawott, then used {{m|Confuse Ray}}. However, in spite of its confusion, Oshawott was able to [[fainting|knock Watchog out]] with its newly learned {{m|Aqua Jet}}, knocking itself out in the process.<br />

Like Lillipup, it used Roar to force Ash's Tepig to return into its Poké Ball, forcing Oshawott into the battle. After this, Herdier was recalled back into its Ball. It was called out again later to battle Tepig after Oshawott had tied with Watchog. Herdier proved to be far stronger than Lillipup, using the powerful {{m|Giga Impact}} to make things difficult for Tepig. However Tepig was faster and more powerful than before and battled hard, finally taking Herdier out with his newly-learned {{m|Flame Charge}}.<br />

In the dub, this Herdier is stated as being the same Pokémon as Lenora's Lillipup, but now evolved. However, in the original Japanese version, Herdier is not stated to have evolved from Lillipup.<br />

<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Lenora Burgh Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Lenora in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Lenora is the second Gym Leader {{adv|Black}} faces in his journey. She is first seen in Black's imagination when he goes to challenge her Gym. Upon entering the Gym for his challenge, Lenora speaks to Black over a video phone and wishes him luck as he tries to reach her. After Black finishes the Gym puzzle, Lenora congratulates the boy for being the fastest challenger to do so. The two then start their Gym battle.<br />
<br />
During the battle, Lenora has her {{p|Stoutland}} use moves such as {{m|Roar}} to switch out Black's team to surprise him and attack his other Pokémon. After figuring out her strategy, Black turns the tide by using {{m|Whirlwind}} to send and defeat Lenora's much weaker Patrat. The battle continues until both Trainers have only one Pokémon remaining. Eventually, Black is declared the winner when his [[Musha]] is revealed to have fainted second after a double knockout with Stoutland. Having lost the battle, Lenora gives Black the {{badge|Basic}}.<br />
<br />
Later, Lenora receives a call from [[Clay]]. He reveals that he dug out a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Dark Stone|mysterious stone}} during one of his digs at [[Twist Mountain]]. Feeling nervous about the stone, Clay asks Lenora if she'll investigate it. Lenora accepts the request and prepares to leave and retrieve it. Unbeknownst to Clay and Lenora, the stone they were talking about is being spied upon by the [[Shadow Triad]]. Later, the {{type|Dragon}} Fossil is stolen by [[Team Plasma]]. Due to Lenora not being there to help, she sends fellow Gym Leader [[Burgh]] to help with the investigation and states she will return soon.<br />
<br />
After returning to Nacrene City, Lenora figures out that the stone is actually the Dark Stone, which is the sealed form of one of Unova's legendary Pokémon, {{p|Zekrom}}. Continued spying attempts from the Shadow Triad get Lenora's attention, which clues her in on the fact that they intend to steal the Dark Stone. She makes a plan with Clay to have all the other Gym Leaders come and help her fend the Shadow Triad off when they finally start their plan to steal the Dark Stone.<br />
<br />
Eventually, the Triad begin their raid of the Nacrene Museum, but Lenora immediately notices them when they start. Upon being spotted, the Shadow Triad attack, forcing Lenora to defend herself and hold on until the other Gym Leaders arrive to help. Soon, the other Gym Leaders arrive to give backup to Lenora. When Black arrives to help, Lenora sends him to protect the Dark Stone inside the museum. Together, Lenora and the Gym Leaders prove to be too powerful for the Shadow Triad to defeat.<br />
<br />
Just when it looks like the Gym Leaders have won, the Shadow Triad reveal their trump card, the legendary Pokémon {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}. The three Pokémon easily overpower the Gym Leaders and traps them in a swirling vortex of wind and electricity. Having defeated the Gym Leaders, the Shadow Triad decide to keep them captive if they aren't able to retrieve the Dark Stone.<br />
<br />
The Gym Leaders are taken to an unknown location and put into a dark room. When Elite Four [[Caitlin]] attempts to use her psychic abilities in an attempt to find and rescue the Gym Leaders, she is unable to find their location, but is able to communicate with them. By using this ability, Caitlin connects Black to the Gym Leaders so they can inform him that they're alright.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Lenora is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, she is freed by {{adv|Shōko}}'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Black White Lenora.png|right|thumb|150px|Original artwork]]<br />
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|ナチュラル ボーン ママ|Natural-born mama}}.<br />
* After the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, Lenora's artwork on the official website for the games was updated to have her apron slung over her shoulder. Also, in the dubbed versions of ''[[BW014|A Night at the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'' and ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', Lenora's apron was removed completely.<br />
** In the original magazine printings of [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is shown wearing the apron in the first few panels she appears in before throwing it away to start her Gym battle with Black. Afterward, she is never seen wearing it again. When this round was collected into {{PAV|45}}, the apron was only seen slung over her shoulder before she threw it away to begin the Gym battle. In the international release by VIZ Media, the apron was removed altogether.<br />
** In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not shown with an apron at all.<br />
* Lenora is the only Gym Leader introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}} that cannot be battled outside the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.<br />
* Lenora is the only Unova Gym Leader whom {{Ash}} had to [[rematch|rebattle]] in order to earn their [[Badge]].<br />

'''Cress''' (Japanese: '''コーン''' ''Corn'') is one of the three [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Striaton Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. He gives the {{Badge|Trio}} to Trainers that chose {{p|Tepig}} as their [[starter Pokémon]] if they defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Cress appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of Striaton City's Gym, alongside [[Cilan]] and [[Chili]]. This Gym is the first to be challenged by the player. Cress battles the player if {{p|Tepig}} is the chosen starter Pokémon. Trainers who defeat him will receive the Trio Badge, along with {{TM|83|Work Up}}.<br />
<br />
During the two years between {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Cress, along with his brothers, retired from being Gym Leaders to train.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Cress anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Cress in the anime]]<br />
Cress makes his debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow [[Gym Leader]]s {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]]. Along with Chili, he first makes his appearance when Cilan brings {{Ash}} to the Gym where he then proceeds to take his drink order. Ash declines saying he wants to battle the Gym Leader, and as he gets up to leave Cress and his brothers introduce themselves as the leaders. They then lead Ash to the battleground where they introduced their individual Pokémon.<br />
<br />
He was the second to battle Ash, where he proceeded to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}}, despite his Panpour's type disadvantage. He appears again at the beginning of ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' where he and his brothers present the {{Badge|Trio}} to Ash. Later he and Chili say goodbye to Cilan, who had decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.<br />
<br />
He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' where he and Chili inform [[Burgundy]] that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again.<br />
<br />
Cress reappeared in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' where he informed Cilan over the phone of the reason why Chili was not at the Gym. Contrary to what Chili had said, he had not left in order to study but had run away. Chili had asked him the night he ran away why he kept losing. Cress told him that he focused too much on offense while giving little consideration to defense. As he feared, Chili took it as an insult and ran away. Cress was pleased when Cilan told him he would help Chili with his battle style and help get his confidence back and thanked him for it.<br />
<br />
Cress reappeared in a fantasy along with [[Chili]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]'' and in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also makes cameo appearances in the ending ''[[Let's Join Hands]]'' and in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />
<br />
[[file:Cilan Chili Cress young.png|thumb|right|Young Cress with his brothers]]<br />
<br />
Cress reappeared in ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]''. It was revealed that he, as well as Chili, had lost to [[Morana]], and had Cilan not defeated her, would have lost the Striaton Gym. After Cilan's victory, he returned to Striaton City alongside Chili.<br />
<br />
He, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in this case, water. Unlike his brothers, Cress tends to speak about himself in third-person in the Japanese version. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors—in Cress's case, he tends to accentuate words with his fingers.<br />

|desc={{p|Panpour}} was given to Cress at a young age when his brothers were also given their first Pokémon. It first appeared when Cress showed what Pokémon he has and {{Ash}} scans it on his [[Pokédex]]. It was shown to be an extremely powerful Pokémon, able to defeat Pikachu without suffering any damage despite having a type-disadvantage. It was the second Pokémon to face Ash in his Gym battle, Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}}. Panpour's Double Team confused Pikachu, after which Panpour landed a powerful Scratch. Pikachu tried to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Panpour's Water Gun hit Pikachu before he could execute his move. Pikachu then tried a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but Panpour's Mud Sport stopped Pikachu in his tracks, after which another Water Gun knocked him out.<br />
<br />
Panpour reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' and ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''.<br />
<br />
Prior to ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', Panpour battled with [[Morana]] and her {{p|Glalie}}. It attempted a Scratch attack, though its opponent dodged and struck with {{m|Headbutt}}. Its Water Gun was then overpowered by {{m|Water Pulse}}, which hit Panpour hard, and it was knocked out by Glaile's {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Later in the episode, Panpour greeted [[Cilan's Pansage]], alongside [[Chili's Pansear]] and cheered him on during his battle with Morana's {{p|Abomasnow}}.<br />
<br />
Panpour's known moves are {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Scratch}}, {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Mud Sport}}.}}<br />

Cress, along with brothers Chili and Cilan, are the triplet Gym Leaders of the Striaton Gym. Although they each got their Gym Leader job individually, they were assigned to one Gym. It is later revealed that they were given the shared job to help teach newer Trainers about type advantages. Due to the type they each specialize in, it was the perfect job for them.<br />
<br />
Cress and his brothers are first seen in {{adv|Black}}'s imagination as he sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Cress later appears in person at the Striaton Gym with his brothers. With the help of his Panpour, Cress serves tea to Black to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger. Although only Black challenged the Gym, the brothers allow his friends, {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}}, to challenge it as well. After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Due to the type advantage their Pokémon have over their opponents, Cress and his brothers prove to be powerful Trainers. Despite the clear advantage they had over their opponents, Cress and his brothers are defeated when Black has his [[Tep]] use Pansage's fallen leaves to revive his teammates, allowing them to win the battle 3 to 2. Having lost the battle, Cress presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}. Sometime later, Cress and his brothers prepare to head out to an unknown location.<br />
<br />
The brothers later confront the [[Shadow Triad]] near the [[P2 Laboratory]]. They reveal that even though they weren't at Nacrene City during the Dark Stone incident, they were assigned to follow their enemies if the other Gym Leaders were defeated. The Shadow Triad prove to be very powerful foes, and even after evolving their Pokémon, Cress and his brothers still weren't strong enough to defeat them. Suddenly, the Gym Leaders are saved by {{p|Keldeo}}, who had been watching the battle with its mentors. Believing that the Striaton Gym Leaders to be the better humans, Keldeo attacks the Shadow Triad. Before it can continue, the Shadow Triad attack Keldeo and trap it. Keldeo's mentors, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}} jump down to save it by attacking the Shadow Triad along with Cress, Cilan, and Chili. <br />
<br />
He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position. In Cress's case, they are kept crossed in front of his chest.<br />

|desc={{p|Simipour}} is Cress's only known Pokémon that first appeared as a {{p|Panpour}}. Along with being his main Pokémon, Simipour assists Cress and his brothers in the kitchen by pouring water for tea. It, as a Panpour, was used against Black, Cheren, and Bianca in a Gym battle. Despite proving powerful, they are defeated after the time limit ends after Chili's Pansear is defeated, making the challengers' win with 3 to 2.<br />
<br />
Later, it was used to battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in a Triple Battle. Although the battle was tough, Panpour was given a {{evostone|Water Stone}}, enabling it to evolve into a Simipour to become stronger. Despite this power up, it was still being defeated before {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}, attacked both groups to rescue the {{p|Keldeo}} the Shadow Triad had captured.<br />
<br />
Simipour's known moves are {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Work Up}}, and its Ability is {{a|Gluttony}}.}}<br />

'''Roark''' (Japanese: '''ヒョウタ''' ''Hyouta'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Oreburgh City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Oreburgh Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Coal}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is [[Byron]]'s son and the grandson of the [[Underground Man]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Roark's team is made up entirely of {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. After he is defeated, he will give the player the {{Badge|Coal}} and {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}; the Badge gives the player the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle. Roark, as the [[Oreburgh Mine]]'s safety supervisor, lets the Trainers of Oreburgh train in the mines. Despite his young age, he keeps the mine running safely and efficiently. After losing, he feels embarrassed that his Cranidos lost to a Trainer without any Badges and cautions the protagonist that the following leaders are a lot tougher. Roark later appears in [[the Underground]], welcoming the player on their first visit there, and explaining a handful of features of the area. Like the other Gym Leaders, he can be fought again at the [[Battleground]] in {{v|Platinum}}.<br />
<br />
As a child, Roark spent a significant amount of time playing on [[Iron Island]].<br />
<br />
Apparently, [[Riley]] was considered for position of Oreburgh Gym Leader first, but he declined and suggested Roark for the position, and Roark was instead instated.<br />

'''[[Oreburgh Mine]]'''<br />
:''"OK, stand back and watch this. Using the hidden move {{m|Rock Smash}}, a boulder blocking your way..."'' (boulder gets broken to pieces)<br />
:''"Fallen boulders need to be smashed so they're out of the way. If you could get the Badge from the Gym in town, you'd be able to do this too. Of course, you'd have to beat the [[Gym Leader]] first. That'd be me!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Oreburgh Gym]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Welcome! This is the Oreburgh Pokémon Gym! I'm Roark, the Gym Leader! I'm but one Trainer who decided to walk proudly with {{type|Rock}} Pokémon! As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer. And, I'll need to see the toughness of the Pokémon that battle with you!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"Think you can take down the next Pokémon like you did earlier?"''<br />
<br />
* Last Pokémon at critical health<br />
:''"No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"This is embarrassing... I went and lost to a Trainer who didn't have a single Gym Badge... But that's tough. You were strong and I was weak. That's all there is. According to Pokémon League rules, I have to give you our Gym Badge since you've beaten me, the Leader. Here's your official [[Pokémon League]] {{Badge|Coal}}."''<br />
<br />
:''"In this region of [[Sinnoh]], there are seven other Gym Leaders. I should warn you — they're a lot tougher than I am!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[The Underground]]'''<br />
:''"Hey! <player>! Is this maybe your first time here? Welcome to [[Sinnoh]]'s Underground! Huh? Where is this, you ask? Doesn't the [[Poké Radar|Radar]] make it obvious? This is a giant underground network of passages underneath Sinnoh. Huh? What I am doing down in this expanse of a place? That's kind of hard to answer. I mean, you can pretty much anything you want down here. For instance, you can dig up Treasure, [[Sphere]]s, and make a [[Secret Base]]. You can play with your friends down here, too. You should talk to the [[Underground Man]] in [[Eterna City]]. I have to get going now. I'll see you around!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Villa]]'''<br />
:''"If it were me, I'd like to put a Fossil over there. You don't think so? No? I think a [[Fossil]] would match this decor."''<br />
:''"The Underground extends even underneath the [[Resort Area]]. I wonder... If I really tried, would I be able to extend it to even places like [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]?"''<br />
:''"What I think about while digging underground...What did the Pokémon see before they became Fossils? I'd love to go back and see them as they were back then."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Battleground]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"I went down to the Underground every day. I toughened up my Pokémon by digging up Fossils nonstop. Could I show you how tough I made them in a battle?"''<br />
:''"Look, can I have some time? I feel lucky to have run into you here, so can I challenge you to a battle?"'' (If ''No'' is the first answer)<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"Here goes! These are my rocking Pokémon, my pride and joy!"''<br />
::'''No''': ''"This is another topic, but you know those Spheres you can dig up? Yes, those Spheres. The ones in the Underground. Why do you suppose Spheres grow if you leave them burried? It's not a huge issue or anything, but doesn't it strike you as odd?"''<br />
<br />
* Last Pokémon at critical health<br />
:''"No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"...We lost control there. Next time I'd like to challenge you to a Fossil-digging race underground."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Battleground]]''' (alternate)<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Would you like to battle? You'll get to see a different me than you saw at my Gym."''<br />
:''"Oh, you do want to battle?"'' (If ''No'' is the first answer)<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"I've got a {{p|Tyranitar}} I'm going to send out. It's tougher than even my dad's {{p|Aggron}}!"''<br />
::'''No''': ''"Hmm... That's a heartbreaking answer."''<br />
<br />
* Last Pokémon at critical health<br />
:''"No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Pokémon from ancient times... Fossils that are yet to be discovered... I wonder if I can find new Fossils if I dig all over Sinnoh?"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Roark anime.png|thumb|right|220px|Roark in the anime]]<br />
Roark appeared in the episodes between ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''. He battled [[Paul]] in his debut episode. In this battle, he showed his strong abilities (even beating {{DL|Paul|Given away|Paul's Azumarill}} with his {{p|Geodude}}). However, his powerhouse, {{p|Cranidos}}, wasn't powerful enough to defeat {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}. With this win Paul earned the {{Badge|Coal}} from Roark. Following his defeat, Roark battled and defeated {{Ash}} in the following episode.<br />
<br />
He used Cranidos to battle the prehistoric Pokémon, {{p|Aerodactyl}} unleashed in Oreburgh City. During the conflict, his Cranidos evolved into {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}.<br />
<br />
Roark then faced Ash again in a rematch. {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Geodude}} were defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{p|Aipom}}. His powerhouse {{p|Rampardos}} battled against Ash's whole team and was defeated by {{p|Turtwig}}. Being the victor, Ash earned the {{Badge|Coal}}. <br />
[[File:Young Roark.png|thumb|left|220px|A younger Roark with his first Fossil]]<br />
<br />
Roark reappeared in flashbacks in [[DP048]] and [[DP120]].<br />
<br />
He reappeared in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', visiting his father, [[Byron]] in [[Canalave City]]. He argued with Byron over which of them loves Fossils more and had a short battle with him. He revealed that Byron suddenly left [[Oreburgh Gym]] to him when he was requested to take over the [[Canalave Gym]]. Roark was shocked and saddened by his father's sudden departure, thinking that he didn't care what happened to him or his mother. Later, Byron revealed that he had always treasured a Fossil of a {{p|Sunkern}}'s leaf that Roark had given to him as a child ten years earlier, and Roark accepted that his father did care about him all along.<br />
<br />
Along with being the foreman of the Oreburgh Mine, Roark is also the chief of Ancient Pokémon Expedition Operations.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was the referee for Ash's Gym battle against Byron.<br />

Geodude then went up against {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}, and this time it had a type-advantage, but it was defeated by a single super-effective {{m|Brick Break}} attack. It was also used as the second Pokémon in Ash's rematch and faced {{AP|Aipom}}. Although it put up a good fight, Aipom's speed and agility turned out to be too much for Geodude, causing it to be defeated by her super-effective {{m|Focus Punch}}.<br />

Onix was also used during Roark's first match against Ash and easily won the battle for its Trainer, knocking out an already exhausted {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. During the rematch, Pikachu made up for its loss and defeated Onix with {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in flashbacks in [[DP048]], ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', and [[DP120]].<br />

[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Roark and his {{TP|Roark|Cranidos}} with [[Gardenia]] and her {{p|Roserade}}]]<br />
Roark first appears arriving in Oreburgh City after exploring the underground with the Underground Man at Eterna City and speaking with his father, Byron, at Canalave City. He meets {{adv|Platinum}}, a new Trainer who wishes to challenge and sets up a match for the next day. <br />
<br />
The next day, Platinum challenges the Oreburgh Gym for their match. After getting through the Trainers inside, she faces Roark in an official Gym battle. In the match, Roark's Cranidos proves to be a powerful opponent for [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Piplup]], but the match eventually ends in Platinum's favor. Defeated, Roark awards Platinum with her first Badge, the Coal Badge. Later, he talks with Byron over the phone about his recent loss to Platinum and they begin talking about another subject. <br />
<br />
Later, it is revealed that the aforementioned subject was about [[Team Galactic|a mysterious group]] that had been going in and out of Canalave to read ancient texts at the library. With the recent disappearance of two scientists, Roark worries that his father would start jumping to conclusions about the littlest things. Later, when Byron is forced to find her, Maylene, and Platinum someone to train them so they can confront Team Galactic, he considers Roark at first but soon changes his mind to Volkner.<br />
<br />
Later, Roark, along with Fantina and Gardenia, faces the Team Galactic Commanders on the Spear Pillar. After Candice, Maylene, Byron, and Crasher Wake join the fight, Roark and Fantina team up to face Saturn. Eventually, they emerge victorious and attempt to fight Cyrus before he can finish his ritual. Due to a rift in space-time, they are forced to use the Sinnoh Underground to get to Cyrus, but they manage to come up right at the exact spot he was in.<br />
<br />
All the Gym Leaders attempt to stop Cyrus's plan by breaking one of his [[Red Chain]]s. Though a difficult struggle, they manage to succeed, but they bring upon Cyrus's wrath in the process and are defeated. <br />
<br />
After the final battle with Cyrus ends, Roark and the other Gym Leaders are taken to a hospital due to their heavy injuries.<br />

'''Roark''' (Japanese: '''ヒョウタ''' ''Hyouta'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Oreburgh City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Oreburgh Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Coal}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is [[Byron]]'s son and the grandson of the [[Underground Man]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Roark's team is made up entirely of {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. After he is defeated, he will give the player the {{Badge|Coal}} and {{TM|76|Stealth Rock}}; the Badge gives the player the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle. Roark, as the [[Oreburgh Mine]]'s safety supervisor, lets the Trainers of Oreburgh train in the mines. Despite his young age, he keeps the mine running safely and efficiently. After losing, he feels embarrassed that his Cranidos lost to a Trainer without any Badges and cautions the protagonist that the following leaders are a lot tougher. Roark later appears in [[the Underground]], welcoming the player on their first visit there, and explaining a handful of features of the area. Like the other Gym Leaders, he can be fought again at the [[Battleground]] in {{v|Platinum}}.<br />
<br />
As a child, Roark spent a significant amount of time playing on [[Iron Island]].<br />
<br />
Apparently, [[Riley]] was considered for position of Oreburgh Gym Leader first, but he declined and suggested Roark for the position, and Roark was instead instated.<br />

'''[[Oreburgh Mine]]'''<br />
:''"OK, stand back and watch this. Using the hidden move {{m|Rock Smash}}, a boulder blocking your way..."'' (boulder gets broken to pieces)<br />
:''"Fallen boulders need to be smashed so they're out of the way. If you could get the Badge from the Gym in town, you'd be able to do this too. Of course, you'd have to beat the [[Gym Leader]] first. That'd be me!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Oreburgh Gym]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Welcome! This is the Oreburgh Pokémon Gym! I'm Roark, the Gym Leader! I'm but one Trainer who decided to walk proudly with {{type|Rock}} Pokémon! As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer. And, I'll need to see the toughness of the Pokémon that battle with you!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"Think you can take down the next Pokémon like you did earlier?"''<br />
<br />
* Last Pokémon at critical health<br />
:''"No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"This is embarrassing... I went and lost to a Trainer who didn't have a single Gym Badge... But that's tough. You were strong and I was weak. That's all there is. According to Pokémon League rules, I have to give you our Gym Badge since you've beaten me, the Leader. Here's your official [[Pokémon League]] {{Badge|Coal}}."''<br />
<br />
:''"In this region of [[Sinnoh]], there are seven other Gym Leaders. I should warn you — they're a lot tougher than I am!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[The Underground]]'''<br />
:''"Hey! <player>! Is this maybe your first time here? Welcome to [[Sinnoh]]'s Underground! Huh? Where is this, you ask? Doesn't the [[Poké Radar|Radar]] make it obvious? This is a giant underground network of passages underneath Sinnoh. Huh? What I am doing down in this expanse of a place? That's kind of hard to answer. I mean, you can pretty much anything you want down here. For instance, you can dig up Treasure, [[Sphere]]s, and make a [[Secret Base]]. You can play with your friends down here, too. You should talk to the [[Underground Man]] in [[Eterna City]]. I have to get going now. I'll see you around!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Villa]]'''<br />
:''"If it were me, I'd like to put a Fossil over there. You don't think so? No? I think a [[Fossil]] would match this decor."''<br />
:''"The Underground extends even underneath the [[Resort Area]]. I wonder... If I really tried, would I be able to extend it to even places like [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]?"''<br />
:''"What I think about while digging underground...What did the Pokémon see before they became Fossils? I'd love to go back and see them as they were back then."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Battleground]]'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"I went down to the Underground every day. I toughened up my Pokémon by digging up Fossils nonstop. Could I show you how tough I made them in a battle?"''<br />
:''"Look, can I have some time? I feel lucky to have run into you here, so can I challenge you to a battle?"'' (If ''No'' is the first answer)<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"Here goes! These are my rocking Pokémon, my pride and joy!"''<br />
::'''No''': ''"This is another topic, but you know those Spheres you can dig up? Yes, those Spheres. The ones in the Underground. Why do you suppose Spheres grow if you leave them burried? It's not a huge issue or anything, but doesn't it strike you as odd?"''<br />
<br />
* Last Pokémon at critical health<br />
:''"No way! Not yet! Not giving up!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"...We lost control there. Next time I'd like to challenge you to a Fossil-digging race underground."''<br />
<br />
'''[[Battleground]]''' (alternate)<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Would you like to battle? You'll get to see a different me than you saw at my Gym."''<br />
:''"Oh, you do want to battle?"'' (If ''No'' is the first answer)<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"I've got a {{p|Tyranitar}} I'm going to send out. It's tougher than even my dad's {{p|Aggron}}!"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Roark anime.png|thumb|right|220px|Roark in the anime]]<br />
Roark appeared in the episodes between ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''. He battled [[Paul]] in his debut episode. In this battle, he showed his strong abilities (even beating {{DL|Paul|Given away|Paul's Azumarill}} with his {{p|Geodude}}). However, his powerhouse, {{p|Cranidos}}, wasn't powerful enough to defeat {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}. With this win Paul earned the {{Badge|Coal}} from Roark. Following his defeat, Roark battled and defeated {{Ash}} in the following episode.<br />
<br />
He used Cranidos to battle the prehistoric Pokémon, {{p|Aerodactyl}} unleashed in Oreburgh City. During the conflict, his Cranidos evolved into {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}.<br />
<br />
Roark then faced Ash again in a rematch. {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Geodude}} were defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{p|Aipom}}. His powerhouse {{p|Rampardos}} battled against Ash's whole team and was defeated by {{p|Turtwig}}. Being the victor, Ash earned the {{Badge|Coal}}. <br />
[[File:Young Roark.png|thumb|left|220px|A younger Roark with his first Fossil]]<br />
<br />
Roark reappeared in flashbacks in [[DP048]] and [[DP120]]<br />
<br />
He reappeared in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', visiting his father, [[Byron]] in [[Canalave City]]. He argued with Byron over which of them loves Fossils more and had a short battle with him. He revealed that Byron suddenly left [[Oreburgh Gym]] to him when he was requested to take over the [[Canalave Gym]]. Roark was shocked and saddened by his father's sudden departure, thinking that he didn't care what happened to him or his mother. Later, Byron revealed that he had always treasured a Fossil of a {{p|Sunkern}}'s leaf that Roark had given to him as a child ten years earlier, and Roark accepted that his father did care about him all along.<br />
<br />
Along with being the foreman of the Oreburgh Mine, Roark is also the chief of Ancient Pokémon Expedition Operations.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was the referee for Ash's Gym battle against Byron.<br />

It was also used as the second Pokémon in Ash's rematch and faced {{AP|Aipom}}. Although it put up a good fight, Aipom's speed and agility turned out to be too much for Geodude, causing it to be defeated by her super-effective {{m|Focus Punch}}.<br />

Onix was also used during Roark's first match against Ash and easily won the battle for its Trainer, knocking out an already exhausted {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. During the rematch, Pikachu made up for its loss and defeated Onix with {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in flashbacks in [[DP048]], ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', and [[DP120]].<br />

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===<br />
[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Roark and his {{TP|Roark|Cranidos}} with [[Gardenia]] and her {{p|Roserade}}]]<br />
Roark first appears arriving in Oreburgh City after exploring the underground with the Underground Man at Eterna City and speaking with his father, Byron, at Canalave City. He meets {{adv|Platinum}}, a new Trainer who wishes to challenge and sets up a match for the next day. <br />
<br />
The next day, Platinum challenges the Oreburgh Gym for their match. After getting through the Trainers inside, she faces Roark in an official Gym battle. In the match, Roark's Cranidos proves to be a powerful opponent for [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Piplup]], but the match eventually ends in Platinum's favor. Defeated, Roark awards Platinum with her first Badge, the Coal Badge. Later, he talks with Byron over the phone about his recent loss to Platinum and they begin talking about another subject. <br />
<br />
Later, it is revealed that the aforementioned subject was about [[Team Galactic|a mysterious group]] that had been going in and out of Canalave to read ancient texts at the library. With the recent disappearance of two scientists, Roark worries that his father would start jumping to conclusions about the littlest things. Later, when Byron is forced to find her, Maylene, and Platinum someone to train them so they can confront Team Galactic, he considers Roark at first but soon changes his mind to Volkner.<br />
<br />
Later, Roark, along with Fantina and Gardenia, faces the Team Galactic Commanders on the Spear Pillar. After Candice, Maylene, Byron, and Crasher Wake join the fight, Roark and Fantina team up to face Saturn. Eventually, they emerge victorious and attempt to fight Cyrus before he can finish his ritual. Due to a rift in space-time, they are forced to use the Sinnoh Underground to get to Cyrus, but they manage to come up right at the exact spot he was in.<br />
<br />
All the Gym Leaders attempt to stop Cyrus's plan by breaking one of his [[Red Chain]]s. Though a difficult struggle, they manage to succeed, but they bring upon Cyrus's wrath in the process and are defeated. <br />
<br />
After the final battle with Cyrus ends, Roark and the other Gym Leaders are taken to a hospital due to their heavy injuries.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Tate and Liza anime.png|thumb|250px|Liza and Tate in the anime]]<br />
Tate and Liza first appeared in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me]]''. Their father, [[Jin]], owns the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and often goes into space to search for space Pokémon. As a result, they often spend time at the Space Center, and even have battles in zero-gravity by using their {{p|Baltoy}}'s {{m|Confusion}} technique to levitate them.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Liza is depicted as being more experienced in battle, and it is implied in their debut episode that she always defeats Tate whenever the two have a battle. Liza loves to annoy Tate by teasingly reminding him of such things, but what angers Tate even more is Liza's habit of referring to him as her "little" brother even though they are twins. This is because Liza is actually the older twin. Nevertheless, Liza seems to care for Tate anyway.<br />
<br />
When [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}} visited Mossdeep, Tate quickly befriended [[Max]] since they had quite a few things in common, including Max's issues with his own older sister, {{an|May}}. Said episode itself focuses primarily on Tate and Max, who spent nearly the entire time by themselves while having fun together. Likewise, Liza related with May, and took to showing her new friends around the facility.<br />
<br />
Later, while Tate and Max were hanging out in the cockpit of the space shuttle, Team Rocket infiltrated the area with the intent of stealing the shuttle. Tate and Max were unaware of this until the trio reached the cockpit, whereupon Meowth tied the two boys up back-to-back with a rope. Fortunately, [[Ash's Corphish]] had been aboard the shuttle as well, and freed the duo, who promptly knocked the Rockets out. In the moments that followed, Tate and Max became the heroes of the day when they safely landed the shuttle. The Rockets then suffered the wrath of Liza and May, who attacked them with their Lunatone and Combusken, respectively, allowing [[Ash's Pikachu]] to send them flying.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Tate and Liza finally faced of against Ash in a [[Double Battle]], in which their Lunatone and Solrock, respectively, were up against Ash's Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}}. At first, they continuously argued with each other, which allowed their opponent to get hits in. However, after another attack by Team Rocket, the twins managed to work together. In the battle that followed, they showed an incredible ability to balance each other's Pokémon, becoming a seemingly unstoppable force that Ash had to resort to unorthodox tactics in order to defeat. Eventually, Pikachu and Swellow used Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}} attack as armor, and with this newfound power, they easily defeated Lunatone and Solrock, earning Ash the Mind Badge.<br />
<br />
Tate and Liza reappeared in a flashback in [[AG120]].<br />

[[File:Tate and Liza Adventures.png|right|right|thumb|225px|Tate and Liza in Adventures]]<br />
Tate and Liza debut in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. They are the guardians of [[Mt. Pyre]], having taken over the position from their grandparents. When Flannery calls the Gym Leaders together for a meeting about [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], Tate and Liza are forced to ignore the call so that they can head over to Mt. Pyre. There, they encounter Team Magma, who aims on stealing the Red and Blue Orbs so that they can be used to control {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. The attackers turn out to be illusions created by [[Blaise]]. By distracting Tate and Liza with his illusions, Blaise is able to easily sneak into the chamber holding the orbs and steal them.<br />
<br />
Tate and Liza later appear on [[Mirage Island]] with [[Juan]]. They are tasked with training {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} so that they would be ready to face Groudon and Kyogre. They train Ruby and Sapphire in various forms of Double Battle styles so that they may work together and defeat their opponents. Once the time had come for Ruby and Sapphire to head off, Tate and Liza award Sapphire the Mind Badge.<br />
<br />
After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Tate and Liza celebrated the victory with their allies and thanked Sapphire and Ruby for their assistance in the battle.<br />

<br />
Spoink's known moves are {{m|Extrasensory}} and {{m|Bounce}}.}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Tate and Liza are the first, and only pair of [[Gym Leader]]s that are battled through a [[Double Battle]].<br />
** In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, instead of serving as a team, Tate and Liza are shown and battled separately.<br />
* Chuang Yi's translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga mistakenly refer to Tate as a girl.<br />
* They are the only Gym Leaders to carry two {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s in their first battle. This is likely due to them being a duo, with each of them holding a Hyper Potion.<br />
* In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, they are referred to as "<sc>Leader Tate&Liza</sc>" due to the way their Trainer class is programmed. This is fixed in the remakes, where they are called "Leaders Liza & Tate".<br />
* In Emerald, Solrock is the only Pokémon from the original team to keep its moveset in the rematches.<br />
* Tate is the only male Psychic-type Gym Leader.<br />

'''Norman''' (Japanese: '''センリ''' ''Senri'') is the father of the {{player}} and the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Petalburg Gym]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[Generation VI]] remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. He is an expert of {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and hands out the {{Badge|Balance}} to any {{pkmn|Trainer}} who defeats him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Norman is also the [[player character]]'s father in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} no matter which gender is selected. The other gender choice (and therefore the [[rival]]) is the child of [[Professor Birch]].<br />
<br />
Although he is the first Gym Leader encountered, he refuses to battle until the player has at least four Badges. Before stating this, he first introduces the player to Wally (secondary rival) which is when the Pokémon catching tutorial happens. Once he is beaten, he gives the player the Balance Badge.<br />
<br />
Norman and his family are originally from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. He, as well as the player, have just moved to [[Hoenn]] so that he could take up the position of Gym Leader. People have come to describe him as someone who "lives for Pokémon".<br />
<br />
Norman also provides special items scanned in via [[e-Reader]] to the player.<br />
<br />
Norman has known Birch since their school days.<ref>http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-gb/characters/professor-birch</ref> According to the [[Television|TV show]] ''Trouble Talk'', they went to college together.<br />

* First time<br />
:''"Hm? Well, if it isn't [[Player character|<player>]]! So you're all finished moving in? I'm surprised that you managed to get here by yourself. Oh, I see. You're with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Hmm… Then I guess you're going to become a <sc>Trainer</sc> like me, <player>. That's great news! I'll be looking forward to it!<br />
:''"Hm? You're… Uh… Oh, right. You're [[Wally (game)|<sc>Wally</sc>]], right?"''<br />
:''"Hm. I see. <player>, you heard that, right? Go with <sc>Wally</sc> and make sure that he safely catches a <sc>Pokémon</sc>. <sc>Wally</sc>, here, I'll loan you my <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Hm. I'll give you a <sc>Poké Ball</sc>, too. Go for it!"''<br />
:''"So, did it work out?"''<br />
:''"Now… <player>, if you want to become a strong <sc>Trainer</sc>, here's my advice. Head for <sc>Rustboro City</sc> beyond this town. There, you should challenge the <sc>Gym Leader</sc>, <sc>Roxanne</sc>. After her, go on to other <sc>Pokémon Gyms</sc> and defeat their <sc>Leaders</sc>. Collect <sc>Badges</sc> from them, understood? Of course, I'm a <sc>Gym Leader</sc>, too. We'll battle one day, <player>. But that's only after you become stronger, <player>."''<br />
* Player has no Badges<br />
:''"Hm? Aren't you going to the <sc>Pokémon Gym</sc> in <sc>Rustboro City</sc>? There's no challenge for me to battle a greenhorn <sc>Trainer</sc>. <player>, I want you to challenge me when you become a lot stronger. I'll battle you, <player>, when you can show me four <sc>Gym Badges</sc>, okay?<br />
* Player has Badge<br />
:''"I see… So, you've beaten the <sc>Gym Leader</sc> in <sc>Rustboro City</sc>. But there are many more <sc>Trainers</sc> who are stronger than you, <player>. Across the sea in <sc>Dewford Town</sc> is a <sc>Gym Leader</sc> named <sc>Brawly</sc>. You should go challenge him."''<br />
* Player has {{tt|2-3 Badges|Order doesn't matter}}<br />
:''"Hm… <player>, you have gotten stronger. I can tell by the number of <sc>Badges</sc> that you've earned."''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Hm... So, you did get four <sc>Gym Badges</sc>. Fine, as I promised, we will have a <sc>Pokémon</sc> battle. <Player>... I'm so happy that I can have a real battle with my own child. But, a battle is a battle! I will do everything in my power as a <sc>Gym Leader</sc> to win. <Player>, you'd better give it your best shot, too!"''<br />
* When defeated<br />
:''"... I... I can't... I can't believe it. <Player>... I lost to <player>? But, rules are rules! Here, take this."''<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"With that <sc>Badge</sc>, the <sc>Defense</sc> of all your <sc>Pokémon</sc> will increase. Pokémon that know the HM move {{m|Surf|<sc>Surf</sc>}} will be able to travel over water. This is my gift to you. <Player>, I'm sure you can use it correctly."''<br />
:''"TM42 contains {{m|Facade|<sc>Facade</sc>}}. It doubles the power of moves if the <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, paralyzed, or burned. It might be able to turn a bad situation into an advantage."''<br />
:''"As the <sc>Gym Leader</sc>, I can't express how upset I am... But as a father, it makes me both happy and a little sad. It's odd..."''<br />
:''"Oh, yes... <sc>Wally</sc>'s parents came calling earlier. They said that they had something they wanted to give you, <player>."''{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|S}}<br />

It sounds like you're doing fine, so that's fine with me. You take care now."''<br />
<br />
=====Match Call{{sup/3|E}}=====<br />
:''"In <sc>Rustboro</sc>, there's a man that goes by the odd name of the <sc>Cutter</sc>. If you're in the area, you should pay him a visit."''<br />
:''"Hm... Little by little, but also very surely, you're getting tougher, <player>. The stronger you get, the farther and higher you soar from Mother <!--The name is NOT capitalized-->and me... This feeling is hard to explain."''<br />
:''"I see... You've collected four <sc>Gym Badges</sc>... There's no avoiding it now. We will battle like I promised. Come anytime. We'll all be waiting for you!"''<br />
:''"<Player>! You'd better go visit your Mother every so often. I'm going to remain here and redouble my training. The way of battling is deep and unforgiving!"''<br />
:''"Hiyah! Haah! Dwah! ...Oh? <Player>! You caught me in the middle of a <sc>Pokémon</sc> training session!"''<br />
:''"<Player>! Who would've thought you'd become the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>... Okay! I won't be left behind!"''<br />
<br />
=====Player's house=====<br />
:''"Hm? Hey, it's <player>! It's been a while since I saw you, but you look...stronger, somehow. That's the impression I get. But your old man hasn't given up yet! Oh yes, I have something for you. This came to you from someone named <sc>[[Mr. Briney]]</sc>."''<br />
:''"Hm, a <sc>{{DL|List of key items in Generation III|S.S. Ticket|Ticket}}</sc> for a ferry? If I recall, there are ferry ports in [[Slateport City|<sc>Slateport</sc>]] and [[Lilycove City|<sc>Lilycove</sc>]]."''<br />
:''"<Player>, if you have ambition as a <sc>Trainer</sc>, go to the [[Battle Tower (Generation III)|<sc>Battle Tower</sc>]]. It should teach you that there is no end to a <sc>Trainer</sc>'s chosen path."''{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|S}}<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Norman anime.png|200px|thumb|Norman in the anime]]<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Norman is the father of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the husband of [[Caroline]].<br />
<br />
Very early in his Hoenn journey, {{Ash}} arrived with May in Petalburg City in the hope of getting his first Gym battle. Ash found the Petalburg Gym and met [[Max]], who posed as if he was the Gym Leader. May stopped him and allowed Ash to meet her parents, Caroline and Norman. Norman turned out be to the real [[Petalburg City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Norman used his Pokémon, a {{p|Vigoroth}}, to save [[May's Torchic]] from {{TRT}}.<br />
<br />
Norman is a good friend of [[Professor Birch]] and was most likely the person to send May to [[Littleroot Town]] to get her first Pokémon. As May did not initially like Pokémon, this seemed to have created some distance between the two. Before Ash knew that Norman was May's father, he commented that it sounded like she knew the Petalburg Gym Leader pretty well, to which she replied, "No, I just wish I did," and became subdued.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', when Ash and his friends visited Petalburg City again, May and Max tried to figure out why Norman and Caroline were getting all worked up as Ash tried to save Norman's three Pokémon from Team Rocket. It all turned out that Norman had Nurse Joy set up a special firework display to make fireworks in a form of a {{p|Beautifly}} as a wedding anniversary gift for Caroline.<br />
<br />
Ash had his Gym battle with Norman in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]''. Using his {{AP|Grovyle}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Torkoal}}, Ash defeated Norman's Pokémon. Upset by his father's loss, Max stole the Balance Badge and locked himself up in Norman's greenhouse. Norman was able to calm Max down, and Max gave Ash his {{Badge|Balance}}. <br />
<br />
Norman reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', and [[AG120]].<br />
<br />
He also reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!]]''.<br />

<!--|vaen=--><br />
|desc={{p|Vigoroth}} was first seen in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'' after Norman agreed to have an unofficial battle with {{Ash}} due to his lack of having less than three Pokémon. After a tough battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], Vigoroth managed to defeat him. Later, it helped in destroying one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]] that was attacking the Gym.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', when May, Max, Brock and Kenny saw it hanging from a brunch at a place where Norman keeps his Pokémon. It then hugged Max. Team Rocket also planned to steal it for Giovanni, along with Slakoth and Slaking. When Ash arrived at the forest, Vigoroth fell onto Ash. Ash was happy to see Vigoroth again.<br />
<br />
Vigoroth was seen again in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', in Ash and Norman's official Gym battle, where it was the second Pokémon used by the Gym Leader. It at first managed to easily dodge Torkoal's {{m|Overheat}}, and knocked out {{AP|Torkoal}} with {{m|Scratch}}. After this, it had an intense battle with Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}. Norman ordered Vigoroth to use Scratch, but was surprised when Ash told Pikachu to take the hit. Vigoroth's Scratch attack hit home, but the powerful Pokémon was suddenly paralyzed by Pikachu's innate Static Ability. Seizing the opportunity, Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, knocking Vigoroth out. However, Pikachu wasted all of his energy, and was also knocked out in the process.<br />
<br />
Vigoroth reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG057|Going for a Spinda]]'', ''[[AG068|A Double Dilemma]]'', ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', and [[AG120]].<br />
<br />

It appeared again in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power!]]'', during Norman's battle with Ash. The match started with Norman's Slakoth against Ash's Pikachu. Utilizing Pikachu's speed, Ash ordered Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Slakoth dodged this and counterattacked with Shadow Ball. Jumping out of the way, Pikachu attacked with {{m|Iron Tail}} but missed once again as Slakoth leaned out of the way. Dazed, Pikachu was unable to dodge Slakoth's Hidden Power, and was blasted across the arena. <br />
<br />
As Pikachu recovered from Hidden Power, Ash realized that he needed to change his strategy. He decided to try {{t|Electric}} attacks and ordered Pikachu to attack with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However Slakoth dodged this attack as well, and responded with Blizzard. The incredible cold kept Pikachu from attacking back, so Ash recalled him and sent out {{AP|Torkoal}} instead. Torkoal used {{m|Flamethrower}}, which easily blasted through Slakoth's Blizzard and scored a direct hit, knocking Slakoth out. <br />
<br />
It reappeared in a flashback in [[AG120]].<br />

[[File:Norman Juan Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Norman in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Norman debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He is the father of {{adv|Ruby}} and the newly appointed Leader of the Petalburg Gym. On Ruby's 11th birthday, Norman had his wife and son move to Hoenn to live in Littleroot Town. Due to Norman's dislike of his son partaking in Pokémon Contests, Ruby held a grudge against his father. Ruby decided to run away and prove to his father the superiority of Pokémon Contests to battling. As he left, he took the Running Shoes his father gave him as a birthday present. Upon arriving at Petalburg City, Ruby attempted to avoid being spotted by Norman. His attempts led him to meeting {{adv|Wally}}, a sickly boy attempting to capture his first Pokémon. Wally asks Norman if he will teach him how to capture Pokémon as he had previously requested. He refuses due to Wally neglecting to inform Norman about his illness. Norman senses Ruby's presence, but when his attempt to get him to come out fails, he just passes it off as another wild Pokémon and leaves.<br />
<br />
Norman's search leads him to the [[Weather Institute]], where he attacks Ruby, demanding to know why he ran away from home. Ruby considers running away, but he decides to stay and fight in order to prove to his father how determined he is. Norman easily gains the upper hand due to teaching Ruby all he knows about fighting, but Ruby turns the tide by using new tactics with the Pokémon he caught on his journey. The battle causes the worn-out institute to break apart, leaving Ruby and Norman left dangling above shrapnel that fell from their battle. With the Running Shoes he got as a gift from Norman, Ruby manages to save the both of them, but is left exhausted and defeated. Norman attempts to continue their battle, but he is stopped by fellow Gym Leader [[Winona]]. Winona tells Norman that he is in trouble for leaving his Gym despite challengers wanting to battle. Norman grudgingly obeys Winona's command to come with her. Before he leaves, Norman tells Ruby that he accepts his desire to partake in Pokémon Contests despite his own personal dislike of them. He demands that in return, Ruby should not return home until he has fully accomplished his goals.<br />
<br />
Later, Norman and the other Gym Leaders are called by [[Flannery]] to meet in [[Fortree City]]. They have a discussion on [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] about whether or not one of the teams is evil and the other is good. Norman refuses to pick a side out of disinterest and begins to leave. Winona reminds him that as one of the Gym Leaders chosen by the Pokémon Association, he has to comply with the others. Norman refuses and continues leaving, but is stopped by [[Wattson]].Wattson suggests that Norman use his strength to help in the upcoming Hoenn crisis and apologizes for the others' behavior due to their lack of knowledge about his past with the Pokémon Association. Norman politely tells Wattson to stop talking and heads off.<br />
<br />
When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Instead of helping stop the Pokémon from causing havoc, Norman decides to fulfill Wally's request and takes him to the [[Sky Pillar]] for training. After several days of training, Wally becomes much stronger from climbing the tower and battling the wild Pokémon inside. As they continue to train, Norman gets a call from [[Scott]], who informs him that Ruby was chosen to be the wielder of the Red Orb used to control Groudon. This makes Norman decide to team up with Wally to awaken the third Legendary Pokémon that can stop Groudon and Kyogre, {{p|Rayquaza}}. Upon succeeding, Norman leaves Wally behind and flies off on Rayquaza to [[Sootopolis City]].<br />
<br />
When Norman arrives, Ruby is fighting Groudon and Kyogre alone with both the Red and Blue Orbs in hand. Together, they use the orbs in conjunction with Rayquaza to send Groudon and Kyogre away to return to their long slumber. The strain of having controlled Rayquaza for too long causes Norman to collapse and begin dying. In his last breath, Norman reveals that five years ago, Ruby's battle with a wild {{p|Salamence}} caused it to go berserk and accidentally free the Rayquaza captured by the Pokémon Association. Not wanting his son to take the blame, Norman lied to the association and put the fault on himself. The Association Director barred Norman from taking the Gym Leader test for five years and ordered him to find Rayquaza. Norman was forced to distance himself from his family during that time, which eventually led to Ruby becoming the way he is now. He then dies in Ruby's arms, much to the horror of his son. When [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] come out of hiding to attack the exhausted Ruby, they decide to burn Norman's corpse to make sure he won't be able to return to stop their plans again.<br />
<br />
Once Archie and Maxie were defeated, Ruby used his {{p|Celebi}} to revive all the people that were killed in the final battle. Norman is brought back to life thanks to Celebi's time travel abilities. Afterward, Norman celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} for their assistance in the battle. Sapphire immediately challenged Norman to a Gym battle, which she managed to win and earn the Balance Badge.<br />

Norman takes out a chart and shows it to Red and his Pokémon that the {{Badge|Balance}} is stuck inside Slakoth. After {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} took a nap, Norman explained to Red and his Pokémon that Slakoth doesn't like it when someone is lazier than it. Norman then watched as Clefairy went inside Slakoth to get the Balance Badge. After retrieving it, Norman demanded the group to return the badge to him but Clefairy refused. Afterwards, he became furious about this and chased after Red and his Pokémon since Clefairy refused to return the badge to Norman.<br />

|desc={{p|Slakoth}} is Norman's Pokémon who refuses to participate in any Pokémon battles and has swallowed the Balance Badge to prove it. {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tries to get the Badge out of Slakoth's stomach but the sloth Pokémon puts a stop to it by making Clefairy tired and swallowing the alarm clocks Clefairy strapped around to himself. Clefairy was able to go into Slakoth's body and get the Balance Badge out of there.<br />
<br />
Slakoth's known moves are {{m|Yawn}} and {{m|Covet}}, and its Ability is {{a|Truant}}.}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Senri (Norman's Japanese name) can be translated as ''1000 li'', which is a considerable distance, while Haruka ({{ga|May}}'s Japanese name) can be translated as ''far away''.<br />
* He is the first and currently only father of the {{player}} that has been seen in the core series of games.<br />
* In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, along with [[Giovanni]], Norman uses more different species of Pokémon than any other Gym Leader at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], with a total of 10.<br />
* Norman is the only [[Gym Leader]] after [[Generation I]] who shares his English name in French, German, Italian, and Spanish.<br />

'''Flannery''' (Japanese: '''アスナ''' ''Asuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Lavaridge Town]]'s hot springs [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. She specializes in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and gives out the {{Badge|Heat}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Flannery's title is "One with a fiery passion that burns!" Her passion for Pokémon burns stronger and hotter than a volcano.<br />
<br />
She is admired for her beauty and strength. She's only been Gym Leader for a short time, and she tries to act intimidating but can't quite get it right. After she loses to the main character, she realized that she was trying too hard to be someone that she wasn't and had to run things her own way.<br />
<br />
Her grandfather was once a member of the Hoenn Elite Four. She apparently is familiar with her fellow Gym Leader [[Norman]]'s battling style, alluding to it.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Heat Badge, Flannery gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.<br />

[[File:Flannery anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Flannery in the anime]]<br />
Flannery made her debut appearance in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]'' where she was training with her {{p|Slugma}}. She revealed that she was the new [[Lavaridge Town]] [[Gym Leader]] after her grandfather, [[Mr. Moore]], retired to become a poet. As such she was shown to be inexperienced and relatively incapable, traits which caused her to forget to clean up the Gym since the last challenger's match. In an effort to remove the wait needed for his next Gym battle, {{Ash}} volunteered himself and {{ashfr}} for cleaning duty.<br />
<br />
While cleaning, the group were helped by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]], who were disguised as construction workers, as well as the former Gym Leader, Flannery's grandfather, who was disguised as a judge. Flannery's grandfather saved the day when Team Rocket attempted to steal Flannery's {{p|Torkoal}}. In the resulting battle, one of her Slugma evolved into a {{p|Magcargo}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash had his Gym battle. He used his {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}. Ash won the battle and the {{Badge|Heat}}.<br />
<br />
Flannery reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play]]'', and ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.<br />

<br />
In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Mag was the first Pokémon Flannery used in her battle with {{Ash}}. Although it was a harder challenge than Ash originally thought, his {{AP|Corphish}} was able to win the round.<br />

<br />
During Flannery's Gym battle with {{Ash}}, Meg was the second Pokémon she used. Ash used {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}, but switched it for {{AP|Corphish}} when Meg seemed to have the upper hand with its {{type|Fire}} attacks, {{m|Body Slam}}, {{m|Smog}}, and Mag's {{m|Reflect}}. When Flannery surprised Ash by having Meg use {{m|Yawn}}, Ash was forced to switch Pokémon again, this time choosing {{AP|Pikachu}}. Thanks to Pikachu's speed and {{type|Electric}} attacks, it managed to defeat Meg.<br />
<br />
Meg's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Body Slam}}, {{m|Smog}}, and {{m|Yawn}}.}}<br />

|desc={{p|Torkoal}} made its debut in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion]]''. In the episode, when Ash challenged Flannery for a Gym Match at the front of the Gym, Flannery sent out Torkoal. However, Max said they should go to the battlefield. Later, Torkoal was seen helping the gang to prepare the battlefield as the last challenger's Pokémon dug many holes in it. Later, {{TRT}} tried to steal it, but they were defeated when Mag evolved into a {{p|Magcargo}} and blasted them off.<br />
<br />
Torkoal was the final Pokémon Flannery used in the Gym battle against {{Ash}} in ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]''. With a powerful {{m|Overheat}} attack and a strong {{m|Iron Defense}}, it was able to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}} easily. Ash then used his last Pokémon, {{TP|Ash|Corphish}}, but it was still sleeping after Meg's Yawn attack. During the battle, Corphish woke up and managed to fight on courageously after taking much damage from Flannery's other two Pokémon. After a fierce battle, {{p|Corphish}} managed to defeat Torkoal.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play]]'' and ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.<br />
<br />
Torkoal's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, and {{m|Overheat}}.}}<br />

[[File:Wattson Flannery Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Flannery in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Flannery debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} as a newly appointed Gym Leader. Her deceased grandfather was a former member of the Elite Four and is the one who inspired her to become a great Trainer, which is why she became a Gym Leader. She first appears in ''[[PS211|Hanging Around With Slaking III]]'', being chastised by [[Winona]] for leaving her Gym too much to do training. Later, Flannery is seen building up a win streak of 199 victories in her Gym challengers, which gets praise from Winona as well as clears up her earlier mistake. Winona informs Flannery of {{adv|Sapphire}}, a recent challenger who managed to beat [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], and [[Wattson]]. Flannery realizes that Sapphire must be challenging her Gym next and goes outside to voice her determination to not lose in their upcoming battle. This gets the attention of [[Team Aqua]], who demand that Flannery tell them more about Sapphire.<br />
<br />
Flannery is defeated and interrogated for information about Sapphire. She is held captive by {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}} in the [[Mt. Chimney]] cable car, where she is used as bait to lure Sapphire into a trap. Matt traps Sapphire in the cable car and floods in, leaving Sapphire and Flannery to drown. Sapphire manages to beat Matt and drain the cable car. Flannery realizes that Team Aqua must be trying to stop Mt. Chimney's activity, so both her and Sapphire immediately fly over to stop the villains. They manage to arrive in time, but {{FB|Aqua Admin|Amber}} stalls them long enough for [[Shelly]] to put an end to Mt. Chimney, which causes all of Lavaridge to become much colder.<br />
<br />
Flannery refuses to give up and attempts to revive the volcano using her Pokémon's flames. She is assisted by [[Team Magma]]'s [[Tabitha]], but not even his help is able to bring back Mt. Chimney's activity. After Tabitha leaves, Flannery regroups with Sapphire to inform her of her failure. Flannery begins tearing up about the loss of Mt. Chimney, but they notice that the attempt to revive the volcano caused a temporary hot spring to form. They take the chance to bathe in the hot springs as well as have their Gym battle, which Flannery ends up losing. As they say their goodbyes, Flannery hands Sapphire the Heat Badge.<br />
<br />
The next day, Flannery calls for a meeting between all of Hoenn's Gym Leaders in [[Fortree City]]. She tells the others about what Team Aqua did to Mt. Chimney and proposes that they do something to stop them. The discussion spirals into arguments about whether or not Team Aqua is evil or Team Magma. Flannery sides with Team Magma and proclaims that Team Aqua are the villains. When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Flannery and Wattson are sent to the rain-plagued areas to face Kyogre in battle. Despite their best efforts, Kyogre proves to be too powerful for any of their attacks to damage it. They are later assisted by Winona, who also participates in the battle to stop Kyogre, but all three are interrupted by Amber, Shelly, and Matt. The Subleaders all face one of the Gym Leaders to make sure they can't stop Kyogre from advancing any further.<br />
<br />
Flannery faces Shelly in battle to get back at her for causing the death of Mt. Chimney. Due to the unpredictable nature of Shelly's {{p|Ludicolo}}'s {{m|Nature Power}}, Flannery struggles to defeat her opponent. Flannery is eventually defeated, but her {{p|Vulpix}} used {{m|Grudge}} to prevent Ludicolo from unleashing anymore Nature Powers. With no means of using her special attack and already achieved her goal of letting Kyogre run free, Shelly gives up and retreats. Due to poor treatment from his leader, Amber secretly hands Flannery and Winona the black box from the Submarine Explorer 1. They use it to find that Team Aqua's base is in Lilycove City and head off there to rescue the kidnapped [[Professor Cozmo]].<br />
<br />
After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Flannery celebrated the victory with her allies and thanked Sapphire and {{adv|Ruby}} for their assistance in the battle.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Flannery's appearance in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is the only one where she doesn't own a {{p|Torkoal}}.<br />
* Flannery is the only Hoenn Gym Leader whose team's changed between Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.<br />

'''Wattson''' (Japanese: '''テッセン''' ''Tessen'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mauville City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Mauville Gym]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Dynamo}}. He is a jolly old man who specializes in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Wattson's title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!" The citizens of Mauville think of him as "eccentric," and one of his students affectionately referred to him as a "tough coot." He prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man.<br />
<br />
Wattson founded Mauville; he once had a desire to convert Mauville in an expansion project, but abandoned that plan. Instead, he installed switch-controlled dynamos in his Gym that create doors of electricity.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Dynamo Badge, Wattson gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he gives out {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}<br />
<br />
If the player returns to Mauville after getting {{m|Surf}}{{sup/3|RSE}} or saving Hoenn from [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}, Wattson will ask him or her to go to [[New Mauville]] on an errand for him. If the player completes the task, Wattson will give {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, as a sign of his appreciation.<br />

=====[[Mauville City]]=====<br />
*In front of Square Tower<br />
:''"Oh, <{{player}}>, eh? You got here just in time to give me a hand and take a look at this. This is Square Tower, an attraction here in Mauville City. It's not just for decoration, though. It has a purpose. It's monitoring how things are going in a place near here called New Mauville. To put it simply, it's a watchtower. The light's shining brightly now, see? It's warning us that something out of the ordinary may be going on in New Mauville. I've got something to ask of you, <player>. If we're going to keep standing around talking, could I get you to come to my place? I've got an apartment on the second floor at Mauville Hills. I'll let the security guy know, so how about you grab the elevator on the first floor? I sure am sorry to put you out like this, <player>, but please do come."''<br />
<br />
*Through intercom<br />
:''"Oh, <player>. Please come in. It's open."''<br />
<br />
*In his apartment (before New Mauville sidequest)<br />
:''"Oh, <player>, you made it! I'm sure sorry to call you all the way out here. Well, I've got a favor I need done right away. I've mentioned this before, but that bright, flashing light on top of that tower means something may have happened in New Mauville! That's why I called you here. I want you to go check on things in New Mauville. There's just one thing, though. New Mauville is usually a prohibited area. Back in my day, it was just locked up normally, but security has been evolving, too! Don't you go anywhere just yet... Hey, thanks! I just took a picture of your eyes. Now if we just use the computer to transmit this data... Now if you go to New Mauville, the doors will open automatically! The Basement Key has what they call "iris recognition." When you get inside, go press the button on the computer in the back. When that computer starts working right, come back here and report to me. I sure am sorry to bug you with all this, but I'm really counting on you!"''<br />
:''"All righty then, I'm counting on you for that investigation of New Mauville! You can {{m|Surf}} from {{rt|110|Hoenn}} to get to New Mauville."''<br />
<br />
*In his apartment (after New Mauvile sidequest)<br />
:''"Oh, <player>! Sorry to make you come all this way. You went out to New Mauville, right? The results of your investigation have been sent here to my computer, too. The most important thing is that there don't appear to be any abnormalities for the time being. Let me give you this as a way to say sorry for causing you such a hassle."''<br />
:''"By the way, there wasn't anything going on in New Mauville, right? That was supposed to be a new town, though... We should've been able to build a huge underground city stretching down into the depths. Things happened, and its development had to be suspended. Since then it's just been left to rot. All the equipment inside might have seen better days."''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Wattson anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Wattson in the anime]]<br />
Wattson first appeared in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. He filled his [[Gym]] in [[Mauville City]] with many traps, pit-falls, roller coasters, and other tricks and pranks. Wattson believed his gadgetry was not only hilarious, but also kept Trainers on their toes. One of Wattson's tricks was a robotic {{p|Raikou}} that ended up overcharging {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity. As a result, {{Ash}}'s Pikachu was able to completely wipe out Wattson's team on his own, using a series of super-powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}s.<br />
<br />
Losing so easily really depressed the usually cheerful Gym Leader. As such, Wattson left everyone a note saying that he went away to think. Uncharacteristically glum, he wandered off to the local power plant and met a friendly {{p|Electrike}}. Soon after, {{TRT}} stole all the Electric-type Pokémon from the power plant. Wattson, Ash, {{an|Brock}}, [[Max]], and {{an|May}} pursued them. Wattson used the Raikou robot to stop them in their tracks, while Pikachu and Electrike used {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Bite}} to free the wild Pokémon. Ash tried to return the Dynamo Badge, but Wattson told him to keep it. Electrike decided to stay with Wattson.<br />
<br />
Wattson reappeared in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]''. He saved most of the group's Pokémon from another Team Rocket kidnapping attempt. The battle caused Electrike to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Wattson|Manectric}}. They were on their way back to [[Petalburg City]], but Ash and his friends took time out for a battle. [[Ash's Torkoal]] fought against Wattson's Manectric in a fierce battle, which Manectric won.<br />
<br />
Wattson reappeared in a flashback in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.<br />

[[File:Wattson Flannery Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Wattson in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Wattson debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He is a joke-loving Gym Leader who is friends with the [[Trick Master]]. When {{adv|Sapphire}} arrives at Mauville City to challenge her third Gym, she is attacked by one of the Trick Master's machines. When she is captured by it, Wattson and the Trick Master come out of hiding to celebrate their victory, only to realize their mistake. Wattson apologizes for the trouble he caused Sapphire and explained that he and the Trick Master were aiming to capture a wild trouble-making {{p|Donphan}} in the area. When Sapphire wondered if the trap-door she fell into earlier was another one of their gadgets, Wattson realizes that Sapphire had accidentally found the entrance to New Mauville. They attempt to open the entrance again, only for a group of children aiming to challenge Wattson arrive. Wattson easily defeats that children, but awards them Gym Badges anyway. This angers Sapphire, but Wattson explains that he does not really care about the results and enjoys giving Badges if his opponents do their best. He offers a Badge to Sapphire for finding the entrance to New Mauville, but she angrily rejects it on the pretense that wants to earn it in a battle.<br />
<br />
Sapphire smacks the Badge away from Wattson, which lands on the Donphan and provokes it into chasing after the three. Wattson, Trick Master, Sapphire, and Donphan all end up crashing into New Mauville. Wattson ends up separated from the others and gets attacked by the New Muaville generator. The generator defeats and captures Wattson and continuously drains his Pokémon's electricity. Sapphire works together with Wattson's {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} and Donphan to stop the generator and free Wattson from its grip. When the generator is defeated, they find that New Mauville was created by the Trick Master's ancestor as a playground for children. They decide to renovate the place so that the children of Mauville City can have a place to play in. Wattson thanks Sapphire for her help and later awards her with the Dynamo Badge.<br />
<br />
Later, Wattson and the other Gym Leaders are called by [[Flannery]] to meet in [[Fortree City]]. They have a discussion on [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] about whether or not one of the teams is evil and the other is good. Wattson sides with Team Magma, as their goal is to expand the landmass meant that Mauville City could get more land for the children to play in.<br />
<br />
When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wattson and Flannery are sent to the rain-plagued areas to face Kyogre in battle. Despite their best efforts, Kyogre proves to be too powerful for any of their attacks to damage it. They are later assisted by [[Winona]], who also participates in the battle to stop Kyogre, but all three are interrupted by the Subleaders of the Sea Scheme of Team Aqua, {{FB|Aqua Admin|Amber}}, [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}. The Subleaders all face one of the Gym Leaders to make sure they can't stop Kyogre from advancing any further.<br />
<br />
Wattson faces Amber in battle and easily defeats his single {{type|Water}} Pokémon, leaving his opponent without anything else to use. Shelly assists her ally by giving Amber her {{p|Nincada}} to use in battle. Wattson continues to have an easy time against his opponent, but Amber reveals he was stalling so that Nincada could evolve into {{p|Ninjask}}. With its newfound speed, Ninjask gains an advantage over Wattson's {{p|Manectric}}, forcing Wattson to sacrifice his Pokémon to knock it out. Wattson gloats over his victory since he still has more Pokémon to battle with, but he is struck from behind and knocked into the sea. As he sinks, Amber reveals that when his Nincada evolved, it also created a {{p|Shedinja}} that attacked Wattson when he was defenseless. Wattson is later rescued by Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}}, which brought him back to the surface using {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Water Spout}}.<br />
<br />
After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Wattson celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Sapphire and {{adv|Ruby}} for their assistance in the battle.<br />

[[File:Wattson PMRS.png|thumb|Wattson in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]<br />
Wattson appeared in ''[[PMRS21|Christmas Night Is Battle Night!]]'' of the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga.<br />
<br />
Earlier, he told his {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} to get food for him. Wattson revealed this to {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} after Electrike led the group to him when it stole cake from Red. Wattson then gave out a business card. He hid inside a trash can and leaped out in order to surprise someone else and gave out the same card that was given to Red. {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} didn't like what Wattson was doing and Electrike growled at Clefairy for disagreeing. Later, Wattson takes the group to a Christmas tree shop and goes inside. While inside, he opened the door to his office which turned out to be empty and beaten up. Feeling sorry for what happened, Clefairy decided to deliver presents in order to cheer Wattson up again. Dragging a sleigh from house to house, Wattson and Clefairy went inside people's houses from the chimney and delivered the presents. When they got back, Wattson and the group discovered that the presents were from the items in the Christmas tree shop and Wattson chases Clefairy for stealing his stuff.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Like [[Lt. Surge]] is in [[Kanto]], Wattson is the third [[Gym Leader]] encountered on a journey, and is similarly enamored with trap doors and {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.<br />
* In Ruby and Sapphire, he is the only Gym Leader without a single Pokémon introduced in Generation III. This changed in Emerald when {{p|Electrike}} and {{p|Manectric}} were added to his initial roster.<br />
** Additionally he is the only Gym Leader outside of [[Johto]] who doesn't have a Pokémon introduced in the generation he first appears as a Gym Leader.<br />
* Wattson is the only Electric-type specialist who is not shown with blond hair and blue eyes at least once in the games.<br />

'''Jasmine''' (Japanese: '''ミカン''' ''Mikan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Olivine City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Olivine Gym]]. Her specialty is {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and she gives the {{Badge|Mineral}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her in {{pkmn|battle}}. She also appears in [[Sinnoh]] to give Trainers {{HM|07|Waterfall}} and to compete in Sinnoh's {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Jasmine appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Olivine Gym]]. Her title in these games is "The Steel-Clad Defense Girl." She also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
<br />
Jasmine is a very shy girl and has trouble speaking. She is compassionate, and when the {{p|Ampharos}} in the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] (nicknamed [[Amphy]]) falls ill, Jasmine's worries makes her develop an inability to smile. Amphy and Jasmine appear to be close, as Amphy will only take the medicine the player brings from her.<br />
<br />
Typically, Jasmine is the sixth Gym Leader to be challenged in the [[Johto]] region, although she is the fifth to be encountered. When she is first met, she will refuse to battle the player, as she is busy caring for Amphy. She requests that a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] be brought from the [[Cianwood City]] pharmacy. When it is retrieved, she uses it to heal the Ampharos and returns to the Gym afterwards. In battle, she uses the newly-discovered {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, but a {{tc|Gentleman}} in the Lighthouse says she used to train {{type|Rock}} Pokémon such as {{p|Onix}}. Once defeated, she will yield the {{Badge|Mineral}} and {{tm|23|Iron Tail}}.<br />
<br />
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Jasmine can be fought multiple times in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]]. She will use a stronger team here but will not appear until her [[Pokégear]] phone number has been obtained at the Olivine City diner. She goes there every afternoon, between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and will afterwards travel to [[Kanto]] for battles on Wednesday afternoons. After defeating all of the [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders, visiting Jasmine at her Gym in Olivine will cause her to offer to make a trade with the player, although the player will need to talk to Jasmine a second time because she will be nervous about it. She offers a {{p|Steelix}} nicknamed '''Rusty''' (Japanese: '''ネール''' ''Neil'') that holds a {{DL|Held item|Soothe Bell}}. She will accept any Pokémon in exchange, being the first in-game trade where this is possible. Rusty isn't the same as her battling Steelix, as Rusty is male whereas the other is female.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jasmine Pt.png|frame|right|Jasmine in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}]]<br />
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Jasmine is staying in [[Sunyshore City]] for a while, which she says reminds her of home with [[Vista Lighthouse|its lighthouse]] and its location on the sea. She also occasionally enters {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s with her Steelix, which is nicknamed Rusty. She gives the player {{HM|07|Waterfall}} after defeating the eighth [[Gym Leader]], [[Volkner]]. A conversation with [[Erika]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver places Jasmine's appearance in [[Sinnoh]] after the main plot of the Johto games.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Jasmine Sinnoh.png|thumb|left|220px|Jasmine in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.]]<br />
Jasmine appeared in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', ''[[EP223|Throwing in the Noctowl]]'', ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'' and ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]''.<br />
<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Jasmine runs the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in Olivine City. She used her [[Amphy|Ampharos]] to light the way over the shore, but when it became ill, she asked {{Ash}} to fetch it some medicine from [[Cianwood City]]. Ash and his friends retrieved the medicine and sent it back with one of Jasmine's young apprentices, [[Janina]].<br />
<br />
Much later, Ash and his friends returned from the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ash challenged Jasmine to a [[Gym]] battle. In the final portion of the battle, Ash used {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and was able to defeat Jasmine's {{p|Steelix}}.<br />
[[File:Jasmine Johto.png|thumb|220px|Jasmine's first appearance]]<br />
She reappeared in ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'' in her HeartGold and SoulSilver outfit, where she was having a special training session with {{si|Kenny}}. She later asked {{EF|Flint}} if she could battle him and he accepted. The battle resulted in his {{p|Infernape}} knocking out her Steelix.<br />
<br />
In her first appearance, Jasmine was closer to her game persona; gentle and soft-spoken. However, in her second appearance, Jasmine was markedly more confident, and even aggressive during the Gym battle. She made a powerful introduction, leaping from a cliff and gracefully landing on her Steelix. She was not afraid to take on {{TRT}}, and was quite vocal in letting Ash know she wouldn't go easy on him during battle.<br />
<br />
Jasmine reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.<br />
<br />

It was also the first Pokémon that Jasmine used in her Gym battle with Ash in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', sending it against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Despite proving itself very fast and pretty strong, it was finally knocked out by {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Quick Attack}}.<br />
<br />
Magnemite's only known move is {{m|Thunder Wave}}.}}<br />

While it is never explicitly stated that Sparkle belongs to Jasmine, the young Gym Leader cares for the Ampharos as she does in the games. It illuminates the Glitter Lighthouse to prevent ships and airplanes from crashing.<br />
<br />
It first appeared sick, as Amphy does in the games. {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and Jasmine's assistant [[Janina]] traveled to [[Cianwood City]] to get a medicine to heal Sparkle. When Ash returned to challenge Jasmine, Sparkle had been cured, but was not used in battle.<br />
<br />
It later appeared in one of {{an|Lyra}}'s presentations about the Johto region in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.}}<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Janine Jasmine Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Jasmine in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Jasmine debuted in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} being called by the [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]]. She was told to come over, as the Egg her two {{p|Togetic}} produced hatched into {{adv|Gold}}'s {{p|Togepi}}, [[Togebo]]. As she passed through [[Ecruteak City]] on her way there, an earthquake caused by [[Team Rocket]] ravaged the area. She managed to escape most of the chaos by escaping to the [[Bell Tower]], but the shaking caused her to get caught in rubble. Using [[Amphy]] as a distress signal, she caught the attention of both {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}, who arrived to help. They managed to rescue her before the tower collapsed and sent Jasmine off to safety on Amphy's back. Unaware of the identities of her saviors, Jasmine helped with getting Ecruteak City back to normal.<br />
<br />
At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Jasmine arrives with her fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the first round, she faces off against the [[Pewter City]] Gym Leader, [[Brock]]. She surprises everyone by using {{p|Steelix}}, a new Pokémon that no one had known about. Since he knew nothing about Steelix or even its type, Brock is eventually defeated. {{adv|Professor Oak}} reveals to everyone about the discovery of the new {{type|Steel}}, which Jasmine specializes in. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Jasmine and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Jasmine returned to her usual duties of being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it is revealed that Jasmine left to the [[Sinnoh]] region so that she may partake in Pokémon Contests and refuses to come back until she had mastered them. In ''[[PS351|Perturbed by Pachirisu]]'', Jasmine makes a brief appearance entering the Master Rank Super Contest. <br />

Later, when Gold was battling {{OBP|Black|Golden Boys}}'s {{p|Gyarados}} in order for him to borrow Gyarados, she takes Gold's place and defeats Steelix, only for Steelix to be far too powerful against the atrocious Pokémon.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|鉄壁ガードの女の子|Iron wall-guarded girl}}.<br />
* She is the only female Johto Gym Leader that is not voiced by [[Megan Hollingshead]] in English.<br />
* Jasmine appears in the audience of the {{pkmn|Contest}}s in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. [[Whitney]] and [[Pryce]] appear in the audience as well.<br />
* Jasmine is the first Gym Leader to appear outside of her home region in the games.<br />
* When rematched in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Jasmine's levels are the highest of all of the Johto Leaders, despite her typically being the sixth Leader; her Steelix reaches level 62, while the maximum of any other Johto Leader is level 60.<br />
* In the Gym Leader rematches in HeartGold and SoulSilver, she is one of two Gym Leaders to not have any items on any of her Pokémon, the other being [[Blaine]].<br />
* Jasmine is currently the only female Steel-type specialist.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Jasmine's [[Trainer ID number]] is 26491.<br />
** Her Trainer ID number is the same as an NPC in [[Generation II]] games who offers an {{p|Aerodactyl}} for a {{p|Chansey}} in {{rt|14|Kanto}}.<br />

'''Chuck''' (Japanese: '''シジマ''' ''Shijima'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cianwood City]]'s [[Gym]], officially known as the [[Cianwood Gym]]. His specialty is {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Chuck gives out the {{Badge|Storm}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who beat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Chuck appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. A {{type|Fighting}} Trainer, he is known to spar with his Pokémon to train both them and himself. His in-game title is "His Roaring Fists Do the Talking". Chuck is married, but spends little time with [[Chuck's wife|his wife]]. She isn't too fond of this, and spends her time standing outside the Gym, perhaps waiting in hope that he will come home.<br />
<br />
Chuck's Gym is very different between the two generations it has appeared. In [[Generation II]], once challengers have made their way through his Gym, Chuck will attempt to intimidate them before battle by telling how his Pokémon "will crush stones and shatter bones." He then lifts and tosses a boulder prior to accepting the challenge. In [[Generation IV]], Chuck awaits his challengers underneath a large waterfall. He will not notice the player approach him until the water under which he has been meditating stops flowing.<br />
<br />
Chuck enjoys a good battle, but after losing he vows to train 24 hours a day. After he is defeated, his wife will give the player {{HM|02|Fly}}, which the successful Trainer will now be able to use outside of battle. She also comments that she is grateful that her husband would be doing more training, since he was getting "a little chubby". In addition to the {{Badge|Storm}}, Chuck gives out {{TM|01|DynamicPunch}} in Generation II ({{m|Focus Punch}} in Generation IV).<br />
<br />
Chuck can be found in his Gym most of the time, but on Sundays the player can have their [[Photography|picture taken]] with him in the northwestern corner of {{rt|47|Johto}} (just south of where the {{DL|Flute|White Flute}} is found). Because of his punishing training schedule, his phone number can be obtained not from him, but from his wife. If the player calls him on a Wednesday night, Chuck will travel to [[Saffron City]] to battle with an enhanced team in the [[Fighting Dojo]].<br />
<br />
Chuck also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only time he can be fought using Pokémon not of the {{type|Fighting}}; his second six-Pokémon team in this game is actually composed of only two Fighting-type Pokémon. However, all his Pokémon in both round know {{m|DynamicPunch}}, a {{type|Fighting}} move. Notably, it is the TM he gives out in the Generation II games.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Chuck anime.png|thumb|230px|Chuck in the anime]] <br />
Chuck made his only {{pkmn|anime}} appearance in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met a man roughhousing with a {{p|Machoke}}. After following him, Ash discovered that the man was Chuck, [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. Even though he is the Fighting master, he gets tired easily as he is a little fat. His {{TP|Chuck|wife}} continually makes fun of him because of this. He is positive-minded and emotional and has a tendency to break out into tears if happy. His battle technique is to battle with his Pokémon to improve their concentration. <br />
<br />
Later, Chuck and Ash had their battle for a Storm Badge. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}} who got defeated by Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}. Ash then used {{AP|Bayleef}} who defeated both Poliwrath and Machoke.<br />
<br />
It was later revealed that [[Brawly]], the [[Dewford Town]] Gym Leader, used to be one of the many students of Chuck.<br />
<br />
Chuck reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]'' and ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''.<br />

<br />
Machoke made its appearance in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''. Chuck and Machoke have a close bond of friendship with one another. This can be seen when both of them cry and hug each other when they are happy. They fight with each other often to improve their concentration in battles; they use this technique even before important matches.<br />
<br />
Chuck used Machoke against [[Ash's Bayleef]] in a Gym battle. With a powerful Submission attack, Machoke almost defeated Bayleef, but with Ash's support, Bayleef won the match.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.<br />

<br />
Ash then chose {{AP|Bayleef}}, and Chuck issued Poliwrath to use Water Gun, which Bayleef dodged. Ash then ordered Bayleef to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}, which slammed Poliwrath to the ground. Chuck ordered Poliwrath to focus its energy, and while Poliwrath was wobbling, trying to stand up straight, Bayleef used {{m|Body Slam}} to defeat Poliwrath.<br />

[[File:Whitney Chuck Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Chuck in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
[[File:Chuck HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|170px|left|Chuck in the ninth chapter]]<br />
Chuck is a martial arts master who trained {{adv|Blue}} in the ways of fighting and Pokémon training when he was a child. He debuts in ''[[PS124|Scrappy Skarmory]]'', waiting for his friend [[Walker]] to arrive so that they could battle each other. When Walker fails to show up, Chuck heads back outside to find his training equipment torn to shreds. The cause is revealed to be the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}, which Walker is currently fighting against. They team up to fight Suicune and attempt to capture it, but they fail and Suicune manages to escape.<br />
<br />
At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Chuck arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the sixth round, he faces off against his former student, Blue. Using the methods his teacher taught him, Blue defeats Chuck and gains another win for the Kanto Gym Leaders. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Chuck and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Chuck returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Chuck, along with Bugsy and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the [[Ecruteak Gym]] from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When {{adv|Silver}} arrives to see Morty under [[Eusine]]'s recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. When Chuck's {{p|Hitmontop}} realizes that Silver's {{p|Rhyperior}} is actually the evolved form of Blue's {{p|Rhydon}}, Silver reveals that he is actually a friend of Blue. Hearing this makes Chuck decide to trust Silver and allow him inside the Gym. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of {{p|Arceus}}, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.<br />

By reversing the rotation of its drill, Rhydon defeated Hitmontop by simultaneously stopping and dealing damage to it. In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Hitmontop was used by Chuck to guard the Ecruteak Gym. It faced {{adv|Silver}}'s {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} and won before clashing against his {{p|Rhyperior}}. The battle ended when Hitmontop recognized Rhyperior as the Rhydon that Blue used in the Pokémon League, cluing Chuck into realizing that Silver and Blue know each other.<br />
<br />
Hitmontop's only known move is {{m|Triple Kick}}, and his Ability is {{a|Technician}}.}}<br />

'''Morty''' (Japanese: '''マツバ''' ''Matsuba'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Ecruteak Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Fog}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He is a young man who uses {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Morty appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the fourth Gym Leader to be encountered. A user of the {{t|Ghost}} type, Morty is known as "The Mystic Seer of the Future". Morty is a follower of legendary Pokémon, and trains in Ecruteak so he may be able to see the rainbow bird {{p|Ho-Oh}}. He is friends with Eusine.<br />
<br />
The body of Morty's Gym is a dark pit. Trainers appear to float over it, standing on an invisible floor. Some Trainers are scared away by the ghosts within the Gym. A challenger able to navigate along the invisible floor can safely reach Morty and challenge him. Once defeated, he will yield the {{Badge|Fog}}, and {{TM|30|Shadow Ball}}.<br />
<br />
Morty does not spend all of his time in Ecruteak Gym. In {{v2|Crystal}}, {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he will join [[Eusine]] in the [[Burned Tower]] where they study the legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}}. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he will also take Mondays and Tuesdays off once initially defeated to visit [[Bellchime Trail]]. Here, he will give his [[Pokégear]] phone number to the player. If called on Tuesday night, Morty will arrange to travel to the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] for a rematch with a stronger team of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Morty's outfit changed drastically between Generations II and IV. The artwork released with Gold and Silver showed him wearing mainly blue. This design was carried through [[#In the anime|into the anime]] and [[#In the Pokémon Adventures manga|manga]]. However, his outfit was completely changed for HeartGold and SoulSilver: Morty now dons clothes of black and purple, like many of the Pokémon in his possession. Morty has shoulder-length golden-blond hair that is kept away from his face by a wide headband that matches his scarf.<br />
<br />
Morty also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Due to the small amount of Ghost-type Pokémon that existed in Generation II, the majority of his team consists of Pokémon of other types.<br />

:''"Here is another thing... I want you to have this, too. It's Shadow Ball. It causes damage and may reduce Special Defense. Use it if it appeals to you."''<br />
<br />
:''"I get it... The person the Kimono Girls were talking about must be you... Never mind. You should be strong enough to go across the sea. When you go west and then south, you'll reach Olivine City. Why don't you head for it?"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Morty anime.png|left|thumb|175px|Morty in the anime]]<br />
Morty appeared in three episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}: ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.<br />
<br />
He teaches classes on training {{t|Ghost}} types. He knows that most Ghosts lack physical power, and relies on disabling his opponent by confusing or frightening them.<br />
<br />
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} first met Morty when they mistakenly went to the [[Burned Tower]] thinking it was the Gym. His {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon had created an illusion of fire to scare the Trainers away, but Morty settled them and introduced himself as Gym Leader. He told them about the legend of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and the two towers of Ecruteak, but didn't believe that Ash had ever seen Ho-Oh. When {{TRT}} kidnapped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, he used his powerful {{p|Gengar}} to stop them.<br />
<br />
[[File:Whitney Morty Flashback.png|thumb|250px|right|Whitney's and Morty's appearance in ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'']]<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash and Morty had their Gym battle. Ash was able to defeat him by relying on his {{AP|Noctowl}}'s {{m|Foresight}} to weaken Morty's Ghost Pokémon and make them vulnerable to {{t|Normal}} attacks. After Morty was defeated, he said he now believed that Ash may very well have seen Ho-Oh, given the great spirit he showed.<br />
<br />
When Ash and company returned to Ecruteak on their way to [[Mahogany Town]], it was revealed that he and [[Eusine]] have a close relationship because they both study rare [[legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Morty reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.<br />
<br />
He reappeared in a flashback along with [[Whitney]] in ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'' where it was revealed that {{an|Lyra}}'s next Gym challenge was supposed to be one of them.<br />

It loves to play tricks on people, especially on those who enter the [[Burned Tower]]. When {{TRT}} tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]] as usual, Morty used Gengar to blast them away with a powerful Shadow Ball attack.<br />
<br />
Morty used Gengar in the Gym battle against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''. Gengar was shown to be a formidable battler. It is able to attack opponents even when it is invisible, making it almost impossible for its opponents to find it. [[Ash's Noctowl]] was able to reveal Gengar's location by using {{m|Confusion}} through the whole building and then using {{m|Foresight}} to keep Gengar visible. It then finished Gengar off with a {{m|Tackle}} attack and Ash got the {{Badge|Fog}}. <br />
<br />
Gengar reappeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', when Ash and friends were back in [[Ecruteak City]]. Morty used it to find the lost [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bells]], and later to confuse the wild {{p|Parasect}} that were surrounding the Gym.<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Clair Morty Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Morty in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Morty makes his debut in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. Here, he has the ability of clairvoyance, which allows him to locate items for other people, making him a natural version of the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]]. Although he can find many things, he is only able to find things for other people and is unable to locate certain [[Legendary Pokémon]] such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Suicune}}.<br />
<br />
Morty debuts in ''[[PS125|Misdreavus Misgivings]]'', where he helps a young girl find her missing {{p|Girafarig}}. After helping locate it, the girl informs Morty that Suicune had awakened while he was away from Ecruteak City. He immediately leaves to go search for Suicune, only to find that Suicune has already found him. They do battle, but Suicune eventually tries to escape. Suicune attempts to escape back into the village Morty was in, only to be paralyzed by {{p|Gastly}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Morty uses this chance to throw a Great Ball at Suicune, only to find out that it was an illusion and that he is trapped in Suicune's {{m|Mirror Coat}}. The attack reflects the Thunderbolt back onto {{p|Misdreavus}}, defeating it and making Suicune the victor. Afterward, Morty reports his loss to his friend, Eusine.<br />
<br />
[[File:Morty HGSS chapter.png|thumb|180px|left|Morty in the HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter]]<br />
Morty later arrives in Ecruteak City, only to be immediately attacked by an injured [[Lt. Surge]]. Surge asks Morty if he can use his clairvoyance to find the {{adv|Gold|owners}} of the {{adv|Silver|items}} he found since they had fought the [[Masked Man]] and survived. Although not happy with being threatened at first, Morty accepts Lt. Surge's request.<br />
<br />
Later, Morty and the other Johto Gym Leaders travel to the [[Indigo Plateau]] to have an exhibition match against the Kanto Gym Leaders for the Pokémon League. For his battle, Morty is paired up against Lt. Surge and is the fourth battle out of eight. During the battle, Lt. Surge manages to easily gain the upper hand, but Morty uses his Pokémon's abilities to manipulate energy and disable moves to make it even. Eventually the battle ends in a tie after Morty uses {{m|Destiny Bond}} to have both their Pokémon faint.<br />
<br />
When [[Team Rocket]] attacks the League, Morty works with the other Gym Leaders to drive them back. The attack turns out to be a trap to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium while the Masked Man wreaks havoc by trapping them on the [[Magnet Train]]. With the power of {{p|Raikou}}, Lt. Surge manages to get everyone back to the stadium to help find the Masked Man's true identity. After the final battle had finished, Morty and the other Gym Leaders returned to their normal jobs at their Gyms. Due to the new rule about Gym Badges allowing Trainers to go to the Pokémon League finals unconditionally, the Gym Leaders had more challenges.<br />
<br />
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Morty is asked by Eusine to help {{adv|Silver}} look for the [[Plate]]s that Team Rocket is searching for. Since he was only told that Silver was a young man with a Pokédex, Morty accidentally mistakes {{adv|Gold}} for Silver when they meet at Ecruteak City. Gold takes the opportunity to ask Morty to use his clairvoyance to search for [[Lance]], who had gone missing. When Silver arrives at the Ecruteak Gym, he is attacked by Falkner, Chuck, and Bugsy, who were asked to guard the Gym for Morty due to repeated attackers demanding Morty use his powers for them. After explaining the situation, the three Gym Leaders let Silver in. After Morty finishes up Gold's request, Silver arrives, cluing Morty into the mistake he made. Before they can continue, {{p|Arceus}} appears and destroys most of the Gym in one attack. <br />
<br />
Morty and the others survive the attack, but are greatly exhausted from the chaos it caused. Before Silver leaves, he asks Morty to use his clairvoyance to locate the thirteen remaining Plates in Johto. Morty does so, but immediately collapses due to an image of the Plates being superimposed over Arceus's silhouette. Morty manages to give Silver an image of the Plates' locations, but is too exhausted to help due to him spreading his ability on so many different places. When Silver leaves, Morty wishes him luck.<br />

At the Pokémon League, Misdreavus was used to battle Lt. Surge's {{p|Electabuzz}}, where it managed to share any damage taken with {{m|Pain Split}}. After Surge switched to {{p|Magnemite}}, Misdreavus used {{m|Destiny Bond}} to faint its opponent after being hit by {{m|Zap Cannon}}, making the battle a tie.

Morty first appears in ''[[GB12|The Legendary Pokémon]]'' telling Gold about the legendary beasts of Johto. Later, he attends the grand reopening of MooMoo Farm and then a month-long conference in Kanto the day after. Since he will be busy, he is unable to battle Gold and tells him to take the {{Badge|Fog}} for free. Gold refuses and follows Morty to a Pokémon Tournament hosted by him. Gold wins the tournament but Morty still couldn't battle Gold as it is past sunset. As a result, Morty gives Gold the Fog Badge for doing a good job and promises to have an official battle for it with Gold someday.<br />

'''Bugsy''' (Japanese: '''ツクシ''' ''Tsukushi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Azalea Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Azalea Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Hive}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Bugsy appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Azalea Gym]]. He is the second Gym Leader to be challenged in each of the games, although he cannot be fought until [[Team Rocket]] has been driven out of the [[Slowpoke Well]].<br />
<br />
Because of his research on {{t|Bug}} Pokémon, Bugsy's knowledge makes him an authority on them. He even discovered the move {{m|Fury Cutter}}, which is the signature move on his {{p|Scyther}}. This research has led to his given title, "The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia". He claims to never lose when it comes to Bug Pokémon, but&mdash;once defeated by the player&mdash;will admit his research isn't yet finished. Upon defeat he will hand out the {{Badge|Hive}}, and a {{type|Bug}} Technical Machine: {{tm|49|Fury Cutter}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{tm|89|U-turn}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br />
<br />
Like all other Johto and Kanto Gym Leaders, Bugsy will leave his Gym from time to time. Every Thursday, Bugsy travels to [[Viridian Forest]] where he will hand out his [[Pokégear]] phone number to fellow travelers all day (12am-11:59pm). From here he will progress to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and, on Thursday afternoons (12pm-3pm), accept a rematch with a stronger team. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays&mdash;the days before the tri-weekly [[Bug-Catching Contest]] — Bugsy will appear at [[National Park]]. On Fridays, he will take photographs with the player and their first Pokémon. Bugsy elects not to compete in the Bug-Catching Contests as he has already won it many times.<br />
<br />
Bugsy also has a room in the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. This is the only time he uses Pokémon that are not of the Bug-type.<br />

[[File:Bugsy anime.png|right|200px|thumb|Bugsy in the anime]]<br />
Bugsy's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP144|Gettin' the Bugs Out]]''.<br />
<br />
Bugsy trains in a large, greenhouse-like Gym filled with trees and bugs. He has an affinity for Bug-type Pokémon.<br />
<br />
His {{p|Scyther}} can use {{m|Swords Dance}} to deflect {{type|Fire}} attacks. However, {{Ash}} figured out it was vulnerable from above, and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was able to knock it out, winning Ash the Hive Badge. <br />
<br />
Bugsy reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.<br />
<br />

|epname=Gettin' the Bugs Out<br />
|desc={{p|Spinarak}} is the first Pokémon Bugsy used in his match against {{Ash}}, saying that it's one of his strongest Pokémon in his arsenal. It battled against {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and almost won with its {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Poison Sting}} attacks, since Cyndaquil couldn't get its flame started. Eventually, Ash recalled Cyndaquil and sent out {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}} instead, despite the type disadvantage. Spinarak and Chikorita kept dodging each other's attacks, until Ash told Chikorita to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, enabling it to {{m|Tackle}} Spinarak and win the round.<br />
<br />
Spinarak's known moves are {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Poison Sting}}.}}<br />

|desc=Bugsy's second choice for his battle with Ash was {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used {{m|Harden}} several times to resist Chikorita's attacks, and then surprised Ash by being able to jump and {{m|Tackle}} Chikorita. Ash decided to use {{AP|Pikachu}}, and after dodging many more attacks, Pikachu managed to attack Metapod with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and win.<br />
<br />

|desc=The final and strongest of Bugsy's Pokémon was {{p|Scyther}}. It first battled [[Ash's Pikachu]], which it easily defeated with a powerful combination of {{m|Slash}} and {{m|Fury Cutter}} attacks after dodging Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Double Team}}.<br />
<br />
Scyther proved to be an exceptional fighter as it can hold its own against {{type|Fire}}s by using {{m|Swords Dance}} to counter fire attacks. Using this technique, it almost defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] by deflecting all of its fire attacks. Thanks to Ash's strategy though, Cyndaquil gained the upper hand. Instead of attacking horizontally, it jumped above Scyther and used {{m|Flamethrower}}. Scyther was unable to defend itself from the attack and was knocked out of the battle, allowing Ash to earn the Hive Badge.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' and ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.<br />
<br />
Scyther's known moves are {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Fury Cutter}}, and {{m|Swords Dance}}.}}<br />

[[File:Falkner Bugsy Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Bugsy in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Bugsy makes his first appearance in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. He debuts in ''[[PS100|Into the Unown]]'' at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. {{adv|Gold}} initially mistakes Bugsy for a girl and asks him out on a date only to be disappointed when he finds out the truth. When Bugsy reveals that his colleagues have gone missing, Gold decides to help Bugsy find his missing friends. They enter the ruins, but are attacked by the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], who plan to capture the {{p|Unown}} sleeping inside. Gold accidentally awakens the Unown, which begin flying around the ruins. He tricks the Unown into attacking the trio, defeating them. Afterward, they manage to find Bugsy's friends. Bugsy thanks Gold for his help and the two go their separate ways.<br />
<br />
Later, Bugsy continues exploring the ruins and even manages to capture an Unown for study purposes. He is attacked by {{p|Suicune}}, who had been challenging all of the Gym Leaders in Johto. Bugsy fights hard, but is ultimately unable to defeat Suicune and is beaten. After Suicune escapes, Bugsy finds inscriptions on the wall mentioning the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Ho-Oh}}. He wonders if Suicune was also trying to leave a message in addition to its challenge.<br />
<br />
At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Bugsy arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the fifth round, he faces off against [[Sabrina]] of [[Saffron City]]. Due a type advantage, Bugsy has the advantage at the start of the round. Sabrina turns the match around by revealing that she had been stalling so that her {{p|Mr. Mime}} could create a room made of invisible walls. With no way of being able to see the room, Bugsy is left defenseless and eventually defeated. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Bugsy and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Bugsy returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bugsy HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|130px|left|Bugsy in the ninth chapter]]<br />
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Bugsy, along with Chuck and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the [[Ecruteak Gym]] from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When {{adv|Silver}} arrives to see Morty under [[Eusine]]'s recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. Silver's clash ends when he is revealed to be a friend of Chuck's former student, {{adv|Blue}}. They decide to trust Silver and let him inside to meet with Morty, who had been helping Gold due to mistaking him for Silver. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of {{p|Arceus}}, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.<br />
<br />
During the chaos, Gold finds Bugsy on the ground and picks him up while chasing after Arceus. Gold gives Bugsy a drawing from Morty about the whereabouts of [[Lance]], who he is currently searching for. Bugsy immediately deciphers the drawing as being the Ruins of Alph, which Arceus is also heading towards. After arriving and meeting Lance, Bugsy stays behind while Gold faces Arceus alone. Lance talks to Bugsy about the origins about the [[Pokéathlon]] and how a {{p|Celebi|Pokémon}} saved a region after a Trainer cleared many obstacles with their Pokémon to meet with it. Lance reveals that he wanted Gold to compete in the Pokéathlon as a way to recreate the legend as a way to try and get close to Arceus. Bugsy expresses more interest in the Pokémon that saved the region. Bugsy is then left alone when Lance goes off to get help.<br />
<br />
Bugsy is equipped with a Capture Net, which is a regular bug-catching net outfitted with the same capture thread contained inside of a Poké Ball. Since the thread is on the outside, it drags the caught Pokémon into a Poké Ball.<br />

Due to its type, Heracross had the advantage, but Sabrina revealed she was deliberately holding back to create an invisible room made out of solidified air. Heracross was left defenseless due to Mr. Mime's {{m|Encore}}, which left it unable to dodge a {{m|Psybeam}} that knocked it out.

<br />
Bugsy first appears in ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal]]'' when {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was watching a basketball game from above. He invites Gold to take part in it as the game celebrates the Ruins of Alph's anniversary. When Gold agreed to take part, Bugsy formed a team with him and allowed Gold to take the prize if they won. They go up against a {{tc|Firebreather}} named Takeo. Despite his team having a type-advantage against Bugsy's, Bugsy and Gold were able to defeat him and win the prize (with Gold actually keeping it). During their time in the Ruins of Alph, they hear over the intercom that an incident happened in the Union Cave and Bugsy tells Gold to come with him. They find out that {{OBP|Black|Golden Boys}} is also in the cave, who wants to capture the {{p|Lapras}} in there, no matter what it takes. After the events in the Union Cave, Bugsy reveals to Gold that he is the Leader of the Azalea Gym. Then, he challenges Gold using his {{p|Scyther}} while Gold sent out the Pokémon that Black released while in the Union Cave, a {{p|Bayleef}}. Despite the type-advantage, Scyther lost and Gold was awarded the {{Badge|Hive}}. Bugsy reunites with Gold in ''[[GB11|Gold And Black VS. Team Rocket]]'' where he and [[Whitney]] were at the Tin Tower.<br />

After the events relating with the {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} encounters Bugsy in ''[[PM079|The Hardest Insect Pokémon Wins?!]]''.<br />
<br />
The charcoal maker recommended Red and his Pokémon to see him in his Gym while he stayed behind. The group goes to the Azalea Gym to see Bugsy. Bugsy tells them about his collection of {{type|Bug}}. Afterwards, he has a Gym Battle with Red. Even though his Pokémon appeared to be powerful, Clefairy's gag moves defeated them which earned Red the {{badge|Hive}}. He gives them four Poké Balls and unbeknownst to the group, an onion was hidden in one of them. Having enough, the group run off and give {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}} the onion in the Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In [[PMHGSS05]], Red had a rematch with him as part of the goal to collect all of the Johto Gym Badges. He was able to defeat him after a close call with {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}}.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* His Japanese title is {{tt|歩く虫ポケ大百科|The Walking Bug Poké-Encyclopedia}}.<br />
* Similarly to [[Saturn]], [[Will]] and [[Janine]] (Generation II), his Pokémon are the opposite gender of himself despite having a 50-50 gender ratio.<br />
** Bugsy's Pokémon were all male in the [[Generation II|original Johto games]].<br />
* Bugsy is the only Gym Leader whose {{p|Scyther|signature Pokémon}} is sent out on the first turn (though this is only in Generation IV), but this is due to the fact that his Scyther now knows {{m|U-turn}}.<br />
* Bugsy appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Kakuna}} to battle. <br />
* Bugsy is the only Gym Leader that can be called on Thursdays for a rematch in HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br />
* The first frame of Bugsy's HeartGold and SoulSilver sprite's animation is almost identical to [[Sidney]]'s sprite in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<br />

'''Falkner''' (Japanese: '''ハヤト''' ''Hayato'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Violet City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Violet Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Zephyr}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Falkner appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the first Gym Leader players will encounter. A master of {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, Falkner runs the [[Violet Gym]], which he inherited from his father; the Pokémon he uses in battle also formerly belonged to him. Falkner's father is reported to be traveling, but is never seen in the game.<br />
<br />
Known as "The Elegant Master of Flying Pokémon", Falkner is adored as a cool and handsome Trainer. He looks up to and reveres his father, who was Gym Leader before him. Falkner aspires to follow in his dad's footsteps and be the greatest bird master. Falkner uses, notably, the lowest leveled Pokémon found in any Gym in any region. His {{p|Pidgeotto}}, in fact, is at an {{DL|Level|Underleveled Pokémon|illegitimate level}}. Once defeated in battle, he will award winners with the {{Badge|Zephyr}} and a Technical Machine: {{TM|31|Mud-Slap}} in [[Generation II]]; {{TM|51|Roost}} in [[Generation IV]]. In each generation, his Pokémon know the respective TM; Falkner uses this move as part of his battle strategy.<br />
<br />
Like all Gym Leaders in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Falkner will venture out of his Gym occasionally. Once the player has obtained the {{Badge|Soul}}, Falkner will journey every Monday to [[Celadon City]] so he can visit the [[Celadon Department Store|Department Store]]. He can be found talking with fellow Gym Leader [[Janine]], of [[Fuchsia City]], on the fourth floor, and will exchange [[Pokégear]] phone numbers with the player. Once this task has been completed, Falkner will travel to the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] every Saturday morning to accept a rematch with a stronger team of Pokémon. In addition, he may also participate in the [[Pokéathlon]]'s Supreme Cup in the Jump Course with his {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Swellow}}, and {{p|Staraptor}}.<br />
<br />
Falkner is also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Unlike other Gym Leaders in this game, all of his Pokémon are of his specialist type.<br />

[[File:Falkner anime.png|left|180px|thumb|Falkner in the anime]]<br />
<br />
Falkner's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.<br />
<br />
When [[Ash's Pikachu]] was stolen by {{TRT}}, Falkner arrived and rescued it with the help of his {{p|Pidgeot}}. He flew around on a glider, yearning to be as close to Flying Pokémon as he possibly could be. He is usually seen with his {{p|Hoothoot}} on his shoulder.<br />
<br />
Falkner has a self-righteous attitude when it comes to Pokémon training, which angered {{Ash}}. Falkner also expressed an intense dislike for the assumption many Trainers make that Flying-type Pokémon will always lose to {{type|Electric}}s, but proved to be slightly hypocritical as he criticized Ash's poor choice of using {{AP|Chikorita}} (a {{t|Grass}} type that is weak to Flying types) in their match.<br />
<br />
The [[Violet Gym]] itself is a very tall, spiral-shaped building. Falkner conducts his matches on the roof of the Gym, accompanied by many students who chant in unison during his battles.<br />
<br />
Ash was able to win the {{badge|Zephyr}}, despite his {{AP|Charizard}}'s wing being severely injured during the match.<br />
<br />
Falkner reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.<br />

|desc={{p|Dodrio}} was the second Pokémon Falkner sent out to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. At first Dodrio seemed to have the upper hand. When Pikachu tried to attack, Falkner ordered Dodrio to fly - much to Ash's surprise - and Dodrio jumped high in the air. Ash then decided to use that method himself, and ordered Pikachu to dodge Dodrio's Tri Attack by jumping to the air. From above, Pikachu used {{m|Thunder}}, knocking out Dodrio and winning the round.<br />
<br />

|desc={{p|Pidgeot}} appeared in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. When {{TRT}} tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], Falkner used Pidgeot to get Pikachu back and send them blasting off again. Falkner later used it in a Gym battle against {{Ash}}. It was able to defeat a weakened Pikachu with a single Whirlwind attack.<br />
<br />
It was then put up against [[Ash's Charizard]] in the final round of the battle. With its impressive speed and power, Pidgeot was able to gain the upper hand and injure Charizard making it unable to fly. But with Ash's support and inspiration, Charizard was able to fly again.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, things still looked bad as Pidgeot used Agility to keep dodging Charizard's attacks and attack from behind. Ash luckily had Charizard turn back and use {{m|Fire Spin}} trapping Pidgeot. It then finished it off with {{m|Seismic Toss}} making Ash the victor.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]''.<br />
<br />
Pidgeot's known moves are {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Wing Attack}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Falkner GSC Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Falkner in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Falkner is first seen in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. He debuts in ''[[PS094|Elekid Incorporated]]'' working as a part-time {{tc|Policeman|police officer}}. He finds {{adv|Gold}} unconscious at [[Professor Elm]]'s laboratory and blames him for the fire started on the lawn. Under the threat of arrest, Gold comes with Falkner and explains to him that the true thief was named {{adv|Silver}}. When asked to provide a picture of Silver, Gold deliberately gives wrong information so that he can find Silver himself. Falkner offers Gold and [[Joey]] a place to stay for the night at the police station in [[Cherrygrove City]], but Gold turns it down and runs off with Joey in tow.<br />
<br />
Falkner reappears in ''[[PS099|Sunkern Treasure]]'' training while off-duty. He runs into Gold and properly introduces himself. Falkner reveals that he plans on taking the Gym Leader qualifying exam so that he can take over the Violet Gym that his father used to lead before being run into hiding. They are attacked by a wild {{p|Skarmory}} that Falkner had faced before, but failed to defeat. With Gold's help, Falkner manages to defeat and capture Skarmory. In ''[[PS105|Smeargle Smudge]]'', it is revealed Falkner passed the [[Gym Leader]] exam.<br />
<br />
[[File:Falkner Policeman.png|thumb|130px|left|Falkner as a {{tc|Policeman}}]]<br />
In ''[[PS137|Really Raikou & Entirely Entei (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[PS138| Really Raikou & Entirely Entei (Part 2)]]'', Falkner trains his Pokémon on the outskirts of Violet City, where he encounters a poacher. They are attacked by {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, who Falker assumes are challenging Gym Leaders like {{p|Suicune}} had been doing. Falkner initially struggles to keep up with Entei and Raikou's speed, but he manages to divert their attacks, leaving an opening for him to catch them. The thrown Poké Balls are stopped by Suicune, who had arrived to assist its comrades. The poacher suggests that Falkner give up and live to fight another day, but Falkner refuses the challenge to succeed where the other Gym Leaders failed. In a last-ditch effort, Falkner throws a multitude of Poké Balls into the air, which surround Suicune due to them being outfitted with Skarmory's shed clear feathers, turning them into boomerangs. Falkner almost hits Suicune, but Entei and Raikou return the favor by destroying the Poké Balls. Skarmory begins crashing to the ground due to its now-missing wing, but Suicune saves Falkner with a bubble and then leaves with Entei and Raikou. Falkner admits defeat and claims that he would have lost even if Suicune did not come to help Raikou and Entei. He then reveals to the poacher his job as a police officer and proceeds to arrest him for capturing Pokémon in a protected environment. <br />
<br />
[[File:Falkner HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|130px|Falkner in the ninth chapter]]<br />
At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Falkner arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the third round, he faces off against [[Janine]] of [[Fuchsia City]]. The {{type|Poison}} Gym Leader proves too powerful for Falkner and he is nearly defeated by her {{p|Ariados}}. When Janine sees what appears to be her missing father, [[Koga]], in the audience, she forfeits the battle to search for him. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Falker and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Falkner returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Falkner, along with Chuck and Bugsy, is asked by Morty to guard the [[Ecruteak Gym]] from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When {{adv|Silver}} arrives to see Morty under [[Eusine]]'s recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. Silver's clash ends when he is revealed to be a friend of Chuck's former student, {{adv|Blue}}. They decide to trust Silver and let him inside to meet with Morty, who had been helping Gold due to mistaking him for Silver. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of {{p|Arceus}}, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.<br />
<br />
Falkner's father is [[Walker]], who also uses boomerang [[Poké Ball]]s made from Skarmory's shed feathers.<br />

Together, they nearly succeeded in capturing one of the Legendary Pokémon before {{p|Suicune}} interrupted. Skarmory fought against Suicune, only to have one of its wings shatter, causing Skarmory to plummet to the ground before being saved by Suicune's bubbles. At the Pokémon League, Skarmory was used to battle against [[Janine]]. It was used against her {{p|Ariados}}, but was easily captured by its web and would have lost had Janine not forfeited. Its shed feathers are used to improve Falkner's Poké Balls by combining with them to make boomerangs.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|華麗なる飛行ポケモン使い|Magnificent Flying Pokémon Tamer}}.<br />
* In [[Generation II]], Falkner is the only Gym Leader who cannot give out a TM that contains a move of his Gym's specialty type, because no Flying-type TM existed in Generation II.<br />
** In [[Generation I]], [[Brock]] also gives out a TM containing a move ({{m|Bide}}) that is not of his Gym's specialty type, even though one existed: [[TM48]] {{m|Rock Slide}}.<br />
* Falkner's Pokémon are the lowest level of any Gym Leader. His level 7 and 9 (9 and 13 in [[Generation IV]]) Pokémon include an {{DL|Level|Underleveled Pokémon|underleveled}} {{p|Pidgeotto}}.<br />
* Falkner is the only [[Gym Leader]] from either [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] to only use Pokémon of his {{t|Flying|Gym's specialty type}} in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]].<br />
* Falkner's updated [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork depicts him in a pose very similar to that of his Generation II sprite.<br />
* Falkner appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Pidgey}} to battle.<br />
* Falkner is the only male Gym Leader that specializes in Flying-type Pokémon.<br />

Burgh appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Castelia City's Gym, the third Gym to be challenged by the player. He is also an artist and apparently started his career in [[Nacrene City]], which he often comes back to when he gets "artist's block." Trainers who defeat Burgh will receive the Insect Badge, along with {{TM|76|Struggle Bug}}.<br />
<br />
He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Burgh returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Burgh gives away remains the same. Before the Gym battle, he is seen in the [[Castelia Sewers]] after the player and Hugh defeat several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. He comes out of the doorway leading to the [[Relic Passage]], then returns to the Gym. He also appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br />

'''[[Nacrene City]]'''<br />
:''"Good day, [[Lenora]]. Find any good [[Fossil]]s lately?"<br />
:''"Eh? Just looking for a change of pace. Seems hectic or something around here. What's up?"''<br />
:''"Uh-huh. You are...<player>, is it? Are you raring to round up our robbers?"''<br />
<br />
'''Pinwheel Forest'''<br />
* Outside Pinwheel Forest<br />
:''"This leads to [[Pinwheel Forest]]. If they manage to scuttle off into the forest, we might have trouble."''<br />
<br />
* Inside Pinwheel Forest<br />
:''"Well, you see... There are two ways out of Pinwheel Forest--the road that goes straight and the path that winds through the woods. I will take the straight road after them! If they're not there, I'll block the exit. Would you please take the other way and check whether [[Team Plasma]] is hiding in there somewhere? You'll run into a lot of Trainers, but it's basically a single path, so I'm sure you won't get lost. Come on! Let's do this for Lenora's sake!"''<br />
:''"Mm-hmm? Team Plasma hasn't come in this direction... The forest's {{t|bug}} Pokémon are quiet, too."''<br />
<br />
* After defeating the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} with the {{key|V|Dragon Skull}}<br />
:''"Oh, sweet! The bug Pokémon were getting all worked up, so here I come, and what do I spy with my little eye? This important looking guy! Are you here to help your friends, whom I defeated?"''<br />
:''"Hmmm... We got back the stolen skull and if we corner them, there's no telling what they might do. I think I'll be heading back Lenora... Well now. Well... I'll be waiting for your challenge at [[Castelia City]]'s Pokémon Gym. Yes indeed. I'm certainly looking forward to it!"''<br />
<br />
'''Castelia City'''<br />
* Outside [[Castelia Gym]]<br />
:''"Ah hah! You're the one who fought Team Plasma in Pinwheel Forest... If I remember, your name is... <player>! Come to challenge the Gym, I suppose? Aww. Sorry, but could you wait a bit? I was informed that Team Plasma has shown up! In fact... Come with me! I'm going to the dock at Prime Pier!"''<br />
<br />
* At Prime Pier<br />
:''"Come on! This way! Team Plasma... They took this young lady's Pokémon"''<br />
:''"[[Iris]]... You did everything you could"''<br />
:''"Agreed! No fear--we will get that Pokémon back. Right, <player>? Having said that, finding a person or Pokémon here in Castelia City will be like finding a needle in a haystack."''<br />
:''"<Player>, let's go! Iris! You stay by that young lady's side."''<br />
<br />
* On the main street<br />
:''"That way! M'hm. There, heading toward the Gym?!"''<br />
<br />
* On Gym Street<br />
:''"This is definitely the place. Looks like our only option is to battle them and go in."''<br />
:''"Oh please! <Player>, I'll leave that one to you!"''<br />
:''"Team Plasma is inside. The stolen Pokémon may be there as well. Okay, I'm going in!<br />
<br />
* In Team Plasma's hideout<br />
:''"So, what would you say is the guiding principle of Team Plasma, anyway? "Take what you want from people"?<br />
:''"Here in Castelia, we have a lot of different kinds of people. Everyone's ways of thinking and lifestyles are very different. Honestly, there's something about what you're saying I don't quite understand."''<br />
:''"One thing we all have in common is that we all care a lot about Pokémon. Even meeting for the first time people can talk about Pokémon. Talk or {{pkmn|battle}} or [[trade]]... Remember your speech at [[Accumula Town]]? You were responsible for leading me to rethink my relationship with Pokémon. For that, I thank you. At that time, I made a promise... I swore to myself that I would dedicate myself to Pokémon even more strongly! What you guys are doing... Aren't you going to strengthen the bond between people and Pokémon even more?"''<br />
:''"Gah! What do we do if anything's happened to the other stolen Pokémon?"''<br />
:''"What is everyone planning to do now?"''<br />
:''"Uh-hm. That's great! Iris is a dazzling Pokémon Trainer, but maybe not at home in the big city yet? So, a little give-and-take, hm! People and Pokémon need help to each other out."''<br />
:''"Well, then, <player>. I'll be waiting in the Gym."''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Burgh anime.png|thumb|250px|Burgh in the anime]]<br />
Burgh debuted in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]''. He first appears in [[Pinwheel Forest]] when {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} climb the tallest tree in the forest, and they were surprised to find Burgh in a cocoon-like cloak, hanging from the tree. He introduces himself to the gang and shows them his sketches of the forest. Suddenly a {{AP|Sewaddle}}, who has taken a liking to Burgh, jumps up on his shoulder. He tells the trio that the Sewaddle had been accompanying him through the forest, even though it is not his Pokémon.<br />
<br />
The next day, Burgh and the kids discover an ill {{p|Patrat}}, and he is able to heal it with some medicine. Suddenly Sewaddle is attached to a {{p|Deerling}} and falls into a raging river along with Ash. Burgh sends out his {{p|Leavanny}}, which uses {{m|String Shot}} to save them. Sewaddle's leaf on its head is damaged, but Leavanny fashions it a new one. Later, Burgh says his goodbyes to the group.<br />
<br />
Burgh appears once more in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. He and the group investigate mysterious sounds coming from the sewer system in [[Castelia City]]. They discover and injured {{p|Venipede}} that Ash rescues from a pipe. Burgh quickly treats is wounds but wonders why it is in the sewer in the first place when Venipede live in the wasteland outside of the city. When the group returns to the surface, they find that a swarm of Venipede is reeking havoc on the city.<br />
<br />
Burgh becomes somewhat angry to find out that [[Mayor of Castelia City|the mayor]] plans to get rid of the Venipede using force and protests the idea. The mayor eventually decides to let him handle it. His idea was to find the leader of the Venipede and have [[Nurse Joy's Audino]] use {{m|Heal Pulse}} on it. He, Ash, and {{an|Iris}} eventually locate the leader only to see it be attacked by [[Trip]] and his {{p|Lampent}}. Burgh orders him to stop and tells him that he is only making things worse.<br />
<br />
Once Nurse Joy's Audino uses Heal Pulse on the leader, Burgh plays his Bug Flute and leads the Venipede out of the City. He sees Ash and {{ashfr}} off at the end of the episode when they decided to go with [[Professor Juniper]] to investigate the [[Desert Resort]].<br />
<br />
Ash battled him in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. Ash won the battle, earning him the {{Badge|Insect}}.<br />
<br />
He reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'' and ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also makes a cameo appearance in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />

When Ash jumps in after it, Burgh sends Leavanny out and tells it to use {{m|String Shot}}, which saves them from falling over a waterfall. It later fashioned leaves to place on the head of Sewaddle after its last head-cover had been ruined by the Deerling and the river.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', it battled Ash's Swadloon and won easily. It later disabled {{AP|Pikachu}} with String Shot and dominated the battle until Pikachu used Leavanny's {{m|Leaf Storm}} to cut free from the threads and bombarded it with all of his attacks.<br />
<br />
Leavanny was seen in a flashback in ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', when Ash's Swadloon evolved into a Leavanny and started making similar head-covers as Burgh's Leavanny.<br />
<br />
It also reappeared in another flashback in ''[[BW103|Certain Up, Unova League!]]''.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Lenora Burgh Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Burgh in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Burgh first appears in [[Nacrene City]] where he bumps into {{adv|Black}} while he was chasing after the stolen {{type|Dragon}} skeleton. Having come there looking for inspiration to cure his artist's block, Burgh joins Black in his search for the Fossil. Together, they find the culprits, [[Team Plasma]], and defeat them in battle to retrieve the Dragon-type Skeleton back for the Nacrene City museum. Having gotten his inspiration back, the two say their goodbyes and Burgh hopes that they will meet again in [[Castelia City]].<br />
<br />
In Castelia City, Burgh is seen talking to [[Iris]] about his upcoming Gym Battle and becomes disheartened when she criticizes his most recent piece of art as not being as good as his previous ones. Later, he and Black have their Gym Battle at the Castelia Gym with Black emerging as the victor. Iris soon arrives with an unconscious girl named {{adv|Bianca}} who had her Pokémon kidnapped. Together, with Black, {{adv|White}}, and Iris, Burgh manages to find the kidnappers, Team Plasma, and force them to retreat.<br />
<br />
Later, Burgh, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Burgh and the other Gym Leaders are defeated by the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Forces of Nature]]. Burgh, along with the other Gym Leaders, are kidnapped and taken to a dark room, where they had their memories of the kidnapping erased. When [[Caitlin]] used her psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders, she had them relay a message to Black.<br />
<br />
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Burgh is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, he is freed by {{adv|Shōko}}'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.<br />

<br />
Burgh makes an appearance in [[PMBW09]] of the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga as the third Gym Leader {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} encounters.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|モスト インセクト アーティスト|Most insect artist}}.<br />
* Burgh is the only returning Gym Leader in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} that does not use a pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in their initial Gym battle.<br />
** He is also the only Gym Leader to completely replace one of his initial three Pokémon in Challenge Mode, replacing his Swadloon with a Shelmet.<br />
* Burgh uses an [[Game move errors|illegal]] {{p|Accelgor}} in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, during the [[Unova Leaders Tournament]]. This Accelgor knows both the moves {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Guard Split}}, both of which it is able to learn by [[breeding]]. However, it should be unable to learn them simultaneously, as it can receive Guard Split only from {{p|Shuckle}} while it must get Spikes from the {{p|Pineco}} family.<br />

<i>On the road following Ash’s victorious Gym Battle against Gym Leader Skyla, our heroes run into their old friend Stephan, who tells them about the Wishing Bell Festival, a competition where teams of Trainers and Pokémon compete for the opportunity to climb Mistralton Tower and ring the Wishing Bell. The story goes that whoever rings the bell will have all their wishes come true.<br />
<br />
Our heroes happily discover that Skyla’s grandfather, their friend Miles, runs the festival. Many Trainers and their Pokémon are competing in the challenge, but the field is eventually narrowed down to Ash and Pikachu versus Stephan and Sawk. With one final heroic push, Stephan and Sawk are declared the winners!<br />
<br />
After Stephan rings the bell and makes his wish, Iris asks him what he wished for. His reply? “I wished everyone would pronounce my name right....” But he also wished he could win the upcoming Clubsplosion Battle Competition, sponsored by the Pokémon Battle Club and Don George!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
On their way to [[Icirrus City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} notice the [[Mistralton Tower]] and [[Stephan]] runs into them. {{an|Cilan}} asks Stephan whether he was heading to {{ci|Mistralton}} City for a Gym battle and Stephan says that he has come for the Wishing Bell Festival that is held at the Mistralton Tower. Stephan explains that during the festival they have to clear various obstacles and the first person to reach the top of the tower wins. By winning the competition, the winner rings the Wishing Bell to make a wish that is guaranteed to come true. Cilan has doubts that just ringing a bell guarantees that a wish will come true. Everyone decides to enter the competition.<br />
<br />
Stephan explains that they have to choose a partner Pokémon to help them in the competition. Cilan chooses {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{an|Iris}} chooses {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and Stephan chooses {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} to be their partners. Ash mentions that it has been awhile since he has last seen Sawk and scans him with his Pokédex. {{an|Miles}} arrives and asks everyone whether they are participating in the competition. Stephan mentions that Miles is the host of the festival. Iris and Cilan explain to Stephan that Miles is the former {{gy|Mistralton}} Gym Leader, and the grandfather of the current Gym Leader [[Skyla]]. Miles explains to all of the competitors what the goal is of the competition. He explains that the first contest is a true/false quiz, where the competitors who think the answer is true move to the sign with the circle on it, and the competitors who think the answer is false move to the sign with a cross on it. The first question is whether a {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Grass}}, and {{type|Rock}} are the types of the starter Pokémon that beginning Trainers may choose to start their journey. Cilan believes the question is very easy, but Stephan on the other hand believes that the answer is true and must be corrected by Cilan and Iris. The correct answer is false and only a few competitors get the answer wrong. Miles explains that {{t|Water}}, Fire, and Grass are the types to choose from for beginning Trainers. Stephan brags that nobody would get the question wrong, but Iris corrects him and says that he almost got the question wrong. The second question is whether you may eat {{ci|Castelia}} Ice Cream on Tuesdays. Ash recalls that they tried to get Castelia Ice Cream but the shop was closed the day they went. Stephan guesses that the answer is Wednesdays, but he was only guessing and doesn't really know. Cilan in a long explanation states that as a connoisseur he always remember and that the answer is Tuesdays. Iris tells Cilan that the long explanation was not necessary. They decide that the answer is true and move to the sign with a circle on it. Only half of the remaining competitors get the answer correct. The final question is whether Miles prefers [[Officer Jenny]] over [[Nurse Joy]]. Ash and his friends are stumped as to what the answer could be. [[Ricky]], who claims to be a {{tc|Psychic}} tells everyone that he knows the answer because he is a psychic. Ash scans {{p|Elgyem}} with his Pokédex. Ricky demonstrates his psychic powers by guessing that Ash is a Pokémon Trainer which Iris is skeptical that it demonstrates his powers because anyone could figure out that Ash is a Pokémon Trainer. Miles announces that there is only ten seconds left to answer, so everyone decides to let Ricky tell them the answer. Ricky uses his psychic powers and determines that Officer Jenny is the answer which would mean that the answer is true. Before Miles could reveal the answer, Elgyem uses its powers to change Miles's mind about what the answer is while Cilan notices what happened. Miles tells everyone that the answer is true, and only a few competitors answer the question correctly. Ricky again claims that it proves he is a psychic, but Iris says that it was probably a coincidence since it was a 50 percent chance of being correct. <br />
<br />
Miles explains to everyone that the next contest is a scavenger hunt where the competitors must choose a random piece of paper that is on the ground, locate the item listed, and deliver it to the staff members at the goal within five minutes. Ash must find a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, Iris a [[Super Rod]], Cilan a [[Wonder Launcher]], Stephan a [[Black Belt]], and Ricky a [[TwistedSpoon]]. Iris asks Cilan for his Super Rod and Cilan gives a long speech about the rod before handing it to Iris. Stephan attempts to borrow Sawk's Black Belt, but Sawk runs away from him. Ricky was able to obtain a spoon easily and bends it with Elgyem's help even though he says that he is using psychic powers to do so. While asking people if they have a Thunderstone, someone says to Ash that he has one and tosses it at Pikachu. Ash catches the Thunderstone before it can make contact and [[evolution|evolve]] Pikachu. With one minute left, Ash and his friends make it to the staff members prior to the time expiring. A few other competitors made it in time as well with a [[Fire Gem]], a [[Repel]], and a melting ice which was supposed to be a [[NeverMeltIce]] instead.<br />
<br />
Miles explains that the next contest is for competitors and their Pokémon to get into a tub in the lake, and make their way to the goal with the help of their Pokémon. He explains that only the first five competitors may make it to the next contest. Cilan has Pansage paddle like he is using {{m|Dig}} to help them keep moving. Ash has Pikachu use his tail like a paddle and propel them forward. Iris has Axew use {{m|Dragon Rage}} to help them keep moving. Elgyem uses {{m|Psychic}} while Ricky uses his psychic powers to move them to the goal in first place. Cilan reaches the goal in second place, Ash in third place, and Iris in fourth place. With only one spot remaining, Stephan and Sawk jump out of the tub to use {{m|Low Sweep}} and propel all the way to the goal in fifth place. <br />
<br />
Miles explains that the next contest is the imitation competition where the competitors must use wigs and costumes to dress up and disguise themselves as the well-known person they are given within ten minutes. Ash and Pikachu must dress up as [[Alder]] and {{p|Bouffalant}}, Iris and Axew must dress up as [[Professor Juniper]] and {{p|Darumaka}}, Cilan and Pansage must dress up as [[Elesa]] and {{p|Emolga}}, Stephan and Sawk must dress up as Nurse Joy and {{p|Audino}}, and Ricky and Elgyem must dress up as Officer Jenny and {{p|Herdier}}. Everyone has no trouble finding the wigs and costumes that they need to dress up. In their disguises, Ash and Pikachu look very close to Alder and Bouffalant. Ash recites that one must enjoy life, laughs, and Pikachu imitates a Bouffalant. Miles lets them pass on to the next contest. Iris and Darumaka look very close to Professor Juniper and Darumaka. Iris says "oh my oh my" in her Juniper voice, while Axew imitates Darumaka in its immovable position. Miles lets them pass on to the next contest. Stephan and Sawk look very scary in their Nurse Joy and Audino costumes. Stephan says "welcome to the Pokémon Center", while Sawk imitates Audino. Miles tells them that they narrowly pass to the next contest. Ricky and Elgyem don't dress up at all and use Psychic powers to make Miles think they are dressed up as Officer Jenny and Herdier. Miles lets them pass on to the next contest. Cilan and Pansage look good dressed up as Elesa and Emolga. Cilan recites one of Elesa's lines, and Pansage floats around to act like Emolga. They have to try again two more times because Miles says that they are doing it wrong. Time runs out and Miles refuses to let them pass on to the next contest, explaining that he is really picky about Elesa since he is a big fan of hers. <br />
<br />
Miles explains that the next contest is a race through a forest that is full of different trials, with Pokémon that are ready to attack invaders and that only three competitors may move on to the next contest. A {{p|Lampent}} attacks everyone with {{m|Inferno}}. A female {{p|Frillish}} then attacks Ricky with {{m|Hydro Pump}} after coming out of a lake. Elgyem uses {{m|Psybeam}} to deflect the attack. {{p|Chandelure}} attacks Iris with Inferno to knock her off of a swinging vine. Iris tries to run away but Chandelure uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} to {{status|confuse}} her. Iris thinks that she won the race and begins to celebrate. Ricky arrives at the goal in first place, and Ash and Stephan arrive at the same time for second and third place. They look over to see that Iris is still celebrating a win while surrounded by Chandelure, a few {{p|Patrat}}, and a few {{p|Watchog}} when she really failed to make it to the next contest. <br />
<br />
Miles explains that the final contest of the festival is a race to the top of the Mistralton Tower. Competitors must bring lit candles that look like {{p|Litwick}} with them to the top without the flame going out while avoiding attacks by various Pokémon in the tower, and the first competitor to reach the top wins. Miles advises them to hurry while being slow and careful. A few male Frillish attack everyone with Water Gun and miss their flames. As they are going further up the stairs, they start to become very tired. Some female and male Frillish use {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the stairs to make it more difficult for the competitors to keep going. Elgyem uses Psychic to help Ricky avoid the slippery stairs to reach the top. Everyone else slowly and carefully moves up the slippery stairs. <br />
<br />
Once they reach the roof, Miles explains {{p|Pidove}} are the last obstacle to reach the finish line. The Pidove use {{m|Gust}} to try to blow away their candles. Ash covers up the flame, Stephan uses Sawk to protect the flame, and Ricky has Elgyem use {{m|Light Screen}} to block the Pidove's attacks. The Pidove use {{m|Air Slash}} and eventually break through the Light Screen and extinguish the flame on Ricky's candle. Ash and Stephan race to the finish line while Pikachu and Sawk block the Pidove's attacks. The candle that Stephan is holding extinguishes Ash's flame which allows Stephan to win the race. Stephan is announced as the winner, but Miles calls him "Sherman". A real Litwick is revealed to be what Stephan was racing with the whole time. Stephan rings the bell to make a wish. <br />
<br />
Ash and his friends congratulate Stephan on his win and ask what he wished for. Stephan tells them that his wish was to win the [[Clubsplosion]]. Stephan explains that the Clubsplosion is a battle tournament hosted by [[Don George]] of the [[Battle Club]].<br />

* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Chandelure}}<br />
* Before the characters dressed up, in the clothes box, {{an|Brock}}'s green vest from his original appearance, {{an|Dawn}}'s hat (along with a Dawn wig), [[James]]'s pants, an R-less Team Rocket shirt that [[Jessie]] owns, and Team Rocket gloves can be seen.<br />
* When Iris asks where [[Stephan]] is during the lake race, she pronounces his name correctly, making this the first occasion in which someone else besides Stephan himself has done so.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* Prior to {{an|Cilan}} first sending out his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, a {{p|Darumaka}} whose face is missing its orange portion can be seen.<br />
* After the first question was solved, Patrat's stripe near its right eye is colored the same way as its mouth. This error repeats again, but this time is colored the same way like its ears.<br />
* When everyone is on the start line, Watchog's paw is completely brown.<br />
* Right when Pansage starts to paddle his and Cilan's boat, the inside of his ears are the same color as his skin rather than being green.<br />
* When Cilan is once again thinking about Elesa's imitation, the scene from ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Elesa's headphone on her head is colored the same way as her blonde hair.<br />
* After {{p|Litwick}} blows out {{Ash}}'s candle, it faces forwards and closes its eyes, but in the next scene when Ash realizes his candle was blown out, Litwick is still facing towards Ash and doesn't face forward until after Stephan crosses the finish line.<br />

'''Roxanne's Nosepass''' (Japanese: '''ツツジのノズパス''' ''Tsutsuji's Nosepass'') is [[Roxanne]]'s signature [[Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|manga}}, {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|games}}.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
====History====<br />
[[File:Roxanne and Nosepass Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Roxanne and her Nosepass]]<br />
Nosepass's first appearance in Pokémon Adventures was when Roxanne sent it out during her Gym battle against {{adv|Sapphire}}'s [[Rono]]. Despite the type-disadvantage, it managed to overwhelm Rono when {{a|Magnet Pull}} prevented him from switching out and moving. From that point on, Nosepass used a combination of {{m|Rock Throw}} and {{m|Rock Slide}} to defeat Rono. However, Sapphire figured out Nosepass's weakness as it would usually face north and stay that direction. With Nosepass facing the other way, Rono was able to escape the rubble and defeat Nosepass.<br />
<br />
Later, Roxanne sent out Nosepass during her battle with [[Team Magma]]. It prevented {{p|Groudon}} from escaping by using {{m|Block}}, which gave the other Gym Leaders a chance to attack Groudon with their Pokémon. When nearby civilians were in danger of being killed, [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] forced Roxanne to surrender in which {{p|Ninetales}} went on to defeat Nosepass and Groudon was freed from Nosepass's Block.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
Roxanne usually kept Nosepass's [[Poké Ball]] in a hollowed-out book. During battle, it knew some techniques that prevent the opponent from escaping. However, only a few such as Sapphire and Courtney knew their way around it.<br />
<br />

[[File:Roxanne and Nosepass.png|thumb|left|200px|Roxanne and her Nosepass]]<br />
Nosepass's only appearance was in ''[[AG016|The Winner By a Nosepass]]'' where Roxanne used it in a Gym battle against {{Ash}}. As {{AP|Pikachu}} became worn out after battling her {{p|Geodude}} and had trouble with his {{m|Iron Tail}} technique, Nosepass was able to get the upperhand. However, Nosepass struggled to keep up with Pikachu's speed after he used {{m|Quick Attack}} to dodge. Later, it unknowingly blasted off Team Rocket after using {{m|Thunder Wave}} and made a hole in the battlefield. Even though Pikachu started to get more tired, a {{m|Zap Cannon}} coming from Nosepass recharged him and Nosepass was defeated by Pikachu's Iron Tail, which earned Ash the {{badge|Stone}}.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', and [[AG120]], when Ash was recalling the time he won his first badge in Hoenn.<br />

[[File:Roxanne ORAS Trailer.png|thumb|250px|Nosepass in the ORAS Trailer]]<br />
Nosepass is Roxanne's main Pokémon in every battle the {{player}} has with her in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. During the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, she uses a {{p|Probopass}} instead.<br />

==In other manga==<br />
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===<br />
[[File:Roxanne Nosepass AP.png|thumb|200px|Roxanne's Nosepass in Ash and Pikachu]]<br />
Nosepass's only appearance in the Ash and Pikachu manga was in ''[[SP19|Trust In Each Other!!]]''.<br />
<br />
After Roxanne's {{p|Geodude}} lost to {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Iron Tail}}, Nosepass was the next opponent Pikachu faced. Nosepass had very little trouble at first with the battle as Pikachu hadn't mastered Iron Tail. However, despite Nosepass's combination of {{m|Rock Tomb}} and {{m|Sandstorm}}, it struggled to keep up with Pikachu's speed. Nosepass was defeated when Pikachu successfully mastered Iron Tail and got charged by {{m|Zap Cannon}}.<br />

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===<br />
Nosepass's only appearance in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire was in ''[[PMRS09|Clefairy's Training Camp!!]]''.<br />
{{right clear}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In the Japanese version of the anime, Roxanne told Nosepass to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, even though Nosepass is [[Anime move errors|incapable of learning the move]]. The error was picked up in the [[dub]], where Roxanne instead tells Nosepass to use {{m|Zap Cannon}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}, moves that Nosepass is able to learn.<br />

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Mine}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is [[Roark]]'s father.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Byron uses {{type|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the {{Badge|Mine}}, {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find that his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon Trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger Trainers.<br />
<br />
He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child; he will then give the player a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Metal Coat}} and leave. In {{v2|Platinum}}, he mentions that he lived on Iron Island for a long time and so feels out of place when visiting the [[Villa]]. Along with those visits, he can also be battled again at the [[Battleground]] in Platinum.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Byron anime.png|thumb|left|240px|Byron in the anime]]<br />
Byron made his debut appearance in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'' together with his son, Roark. It was revealed Byron had once been the Gym Leader of {{ci|Oreburgh}} and had left his family to become the [[Gym Leader]] of {{ci|Canalave}} as he was more interested in [[Fossil]]s, leaving his former position to Roark. Byron battles his son for a short time before the match got interrupted by {{TRT}}. It was later revealed that Byron still cared for his son as he kept the Fossil Roark had found as a child with him ever since.<br />
<br />
Byron is obsessed with digging and Fossils. When his Fossils were stolen by Team Rocket in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', Byron was too busy admiring the hole they dug into the building to notice.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', {{Ash}} had his Gym {{pkmn|battle}} against Byron, defeating him and earning a {{Badge|Mine}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Byron was presumably defeated by [[Paul]], earning him his eighth Badge, and thereby making him eligible for the Sinnoh League.<br />
<br />
He reappeared in a flashback in [[DP120]].<br />

<br />
It appeared again in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' where it was used in a Gym battle against {{Ash}}. It managed to defeat {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} easily but it finally went down to {{AP|Gliscor}} after a hard fought battle, earning Ash the {{Badge|Mine}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Fantina Byron Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Byron and his {{p|Bronzong}} with [[Fantina]] and her {{p|Mismagius}}]]<br />
Byron first appears at Canalave City talking to [[Roark]] over the [[Pokégear]] about his recent loss in a Gym battle. He then changes the subject to something that is later revealed to be about [[Team Galactic]]. Later, at the Canalave Gym, Byron wakes up to find {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} sneaking into his Gym. Acting on his impulsive nature, Byron attacks the intruders under the impression that they are villains. Believing Byron to be the person that caused her father and [[Professor Rowan]] to go missing, Platinum faces the Gym Leader in battle.<br />
<br />
While they battle, a stray attack causes a curtain to be destroyed and reveals [[Mr. Berlitz|Professor Berlitz]] and Professor Rowan trapped in a cage. After being accused of kidnapping them, Byron reveals that he has been investigating Team Galactic for months and found a [[Advanced level Grunt|Galactic Grunt]] attacking and trapping the two scientists in a cage.<br />
<br />
The next day, Byron hands Platinum the {{Badge|Mine}} for his previous defeat and is tasked with protecting Professor Rowan and Professor Berlitz while they recuperate after escaping the cage. When Platinum and Pearl go to protect the three lakes from Team Galactic, Byron sends Diamond to go train on Iron Island with his friend, [[Riley]], to increase his battling skills.<br />
<br />
Later, after a defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]], [[Candice]] calls Byron and demands that he send her, [[Maylene]], and Platinum someone to train them. After briefly considering Roark, Byron reluctantly calls up [[Volkner]] to help them.<br />
<br />
Byron later joins the other Gym Leaders at the [[Spear Pillar]] with the [[Underground Man]], Professor Berlitz, and Professor Rowan to help them fight Team Galactic. By using their digging skills, the Underground man and Byron heal any injured Pokémon by taking them from the battle and putting them back after using a Potion.<br />
<br />
After [[Cyrus]]'s defeat, Byron steals a machine from Team Galactic scientist [[Charon]]. Unfortunately, Charon's machine causes a disturbance in the hole in the sky that was created by {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s fighting and {{p|Giratina|mysterious tentacles}} shoot from the hole and pulls Cyrus, Palkia, and Dialga inside of it.<br />

<br />
===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===<br />
Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance. Byron seemed to have a fondness for Hareta, possibly like a second son to him.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Both Byron and his son, Roark, use [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and a member of the {{p|Onix}} [[evolution]] family in Gym battles.<br />
** Both of their Pokémon in the {{p|Onix}} evolutionary line know the move {{m|Screech}} in the [[Pokémon anime]].<br />
* Byron and [[Roark|his son]]'s Badges are references to coal mines. They both have mines in or near their respective towns ([[Oreburgh Mine]] and [[Iron Island]], which was once a mine).<br />
* Byron and [[Winona]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}} to own a [[giant Pokémon]]; however, Byron's was only a [[Fossil]].<br />
* Similar to [[Jasmine]], Byron is the sixth Gym Leader in his region and [[Type specialist|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, and also uses {{p|Steelix}}.<br />
* He is the only Gym Leader to have an [[Roark|offspring]] who is a Gym Leader in the same region at the same time.<br />
* Byron's {{p|Aggron}} has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] move combination in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, where it knows {{m|Head Smash}} and {{m|Dragon Rush}}. While Aggron can learn these moves by [[breeding]], it cannot learn both simultaneously, as it can receive Head Smash only from the {{p|Cranidos}} family and Dragon Rush only from the {{p|Gible}} family.<br />

'''Fantina's Drifblim''' (Japanese: '''メリッサのフワライド''' ''Melissa's Fuwaride'') is one of [[Fantina]]'s Pokémon in the games, anime, and manga.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===History===<br />
[[File:Fantina Drifloon.png|thumb|left|As a {{p|Drifloon}}]]<br />
Drifblim is Fantina's main Pokémon in the anime. It is the first Gym Leader's Pokémon (other than {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|Brock}}'s) to be confirmed as being hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}.<br />
[[File:Fantina and Drifblim.png|thumb|Fantina and her Drifblim]]<br />
Drifblim first appeared as a {{p|Drifloon}} in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]''. It was the only Pokémon Fantina used in an unofficial battle against Ash despite the battle being 3-on-3. It's first opponent was {{AP|Buizel}}. Drifloon was easily able to dodge Buizel's {{m|Water Gun}} and countered with {{m|Ominous Wind}}. After getting hit by {{m|Aqua Jet}}, Drifloon turned the tables by putting Buizel to sleep. Drifloon then notably lifted the sleeping Buizel up in the air, despite his far greater weight, and finished him off with {{m|Psychic}}. {{AP|Chimchar}} was the next opponent Drifloon went up. Chimchar started with {{m|Flamethrower}} which was countered by Psychic. Drifloon then used Will-O-Wisp on Chimchar which successfully made contact. Drifloon used {{m|Hypnosis}} which put Chimchar to sleep, causing Ash to recall it. During Drifloon's battle against {{AP|Pikachu}}, it once again used Will-O-Wisp where it was able to make contact with Pikachu. Pikachu responded with {{m|Thunderbolt}} in which Drifloon shook off. Drifloon used Ominous Wind and clashed with Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Drifloon's Ominous Wind stopped Pikachu's Volt Tackle. However, Pikachu used Thunderbolt once more and easily made contact. The impact caused Drifloon to evolve into {{p|Drifblim}}. With its new found speed, it dodged Pikachu's Thunderbolt and put him to sleep, forcing Ash to forfeit.<br />
<br />
It reappeared in flashbacks in [[DP120]] and ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', where Ash was recalling the time that it put Pikachu to sleep.<br />
<br />
Ash officially challenged Fantina to a Gym battle in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]''. She called Drifblim out as her final Pokémon where it went up against Pikachu. After Pikachu hit Drifblim with Thunderbolt. Drifblim used Psychic to control Will-O-Wisp and make it rotate rapidly around its body, improving Ash's own [[Counter Shield|shielding strategy]] he had tried to use against her. Drifblim used the Counter Shield strategy to render Pikachu's Thunderbolt useless. It used the strategy again to prevent Pikachu from moving and used another strategy by coming in close and grabbed the opponent, then executing Hypnosis at point-blank range. Pikachu was then finished off with Ominous Wind. Buizel went up next and Drifblim used the Counter Shield strategy again to negate Buizel's Water Gun but it didn't work. Drifblim then used Will-O-Wisp while Buizel used {{m|Water Pulse}}, both attacks clashed which threw Buizel off guard. This gave Drifblim a chance to use the same strategy that it used on Pikachu to put Buizel to sleep. Buizel was then finished with Psychic. Ash's Chimchar was up in the final match. Drifblim used Will-O-Wisp to cancel out Chimchar's {{m|Flame Wheel}}. As the shield was made of Will-O-Wisp and Psychic, and Will-O-Wisp was a {{type|Fire}} move, this gave Ash an idea. He had Chimchar use Flamethrower so that Drifblim can use Counter Shield. Chimchar was able to overpower and destroy Drifblim's shield, with Drifblim getting hit by Chimchar's purple-colored Flamethrower and the power of its own Will-O-Wisp. Drifblim attacked with Ominous Wind but Chimchar evaded with {{m|Dig}}. Chimchar leaps up, grabs Drifblim and slams it to the ground. Chimchar then ultimately defeats Drifblim with Flamethrower, earning Ash the {{badge|Relic}}. <br />
<br />
It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'' when Ash was recalling the time he got the Relic Badge from her. Drifblim also appeared alongside Fantina during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality and characteristics===<br />
Drifblim appears to be Fantina's favorite Pokémon as her designs are made after it. During battle, Drifblim, as a Drifloon has the ability, to easily shake off any attack regardless of type. It continued to do so after evolving.<br />

=====Moves improvised=====<br />
[[File:Fantina Drifblim Counter Shield.png|250px|thumb|Using [[Counter Shield]]]]<br />
* '''[[Counter Shield]]''' was used in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]''. Drifblim uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} to surround its body in fire wisps. Then it uses {{m|Psychic}} to move the fire in two circles. Drifblim can either shoot the flames as an attack or keep the fire around it as a defense tactic.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Unlike in the anime, Drifblim is not Fantina's main Pokémon in her battles; she doesn't even use her (even as a {{P|Drifloon}}) in her official Gym battle against the {{player}} in {{game|Platinum}}. However, she uses it in at least one battle in every game she has appeared in: {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]]. Notably, however, her Drifblim is her Pokémon of choice in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, in which she has nicknamed '''Loony''' (Japanese: '''ばるん''' ''Barun''). <br />

Fantina's Drifblim is one of Fantina's main team members. She also serves as Fantina's transportation (and also Diamond's and Pearl's for a time), being used as a hot air balloon. She was first seen in [[Hearthome City]] being used to leave the Contest Hall when Fantina sensed a looming presence (actually [[Paka and Uji]]), and she later reappeared in [[Celestic Town]] where Fantina managed to save {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} after the group was attacked by [[Cyrus]]. Drifblim was later used in {{adv|Platinum}}'s Gym battle against Fantina where it was defeated by her {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}}'s {{m|Blizzard}}, which froze her {{m|Ominous Wind}}.<br />

'''Fantina''' (Japanese: '''メリッサ''' ''Melissa'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hearthome City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Hearthome Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Relic}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. <br />
<br />
She is apparently not from [[Pokémon nation|the country]] the games are set in, and often peppers her speech with phrases of {{wp|French language|French}} (English in the Japanese and French versions).<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Fantina speaks a mix of French and broken English (only broken Japanese in Japanese version, broken French with English in French version) and is an immigrant from another country. Upon arriving in Sinnoh, she decided to become a Contest performer, so she dresses up in fancy outfits for Pokémon Contests. She considers herself to be a Contest Expert and can occasionally be competed against in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, in which she uses her {{p|Drifblim}}, nicknamed '''Loony''' (Japanese: '''ばるん''' ''Balloon'').<br />
<br />
She also studied Pokémon and eventually attained the title of Gym Leader. Fantina uses {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Relic}}, {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}} and are able to use {{m|Surf}} outside of battle ({{m|Defog}} in {{v2|Platinum}}). <br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, she cannot be challenged until the {{key|IV|Old Charm}} has been delivered to the [[Celestic Town]] elder at the request of the elder's granddaughter, [[Cynthia]]. <br />
<br />
In {{v2|Platinum}}, she is battled much earlier in the game and will make her Gym available to players as soon as they arrive in Hearthome City. She can be battled again at the [[Battleground]] and occasionally visits the [[Villa]]. Fantina claims to be a fan of [[Arcade Star Dahlia]]'s dancing style and a member of the Ribbon Syndicate of the [[Resort Area]]. She also mentions making regular visits to the [[Lost Tower]].<br />

<br />
Despite the group having traveled through [[Hearthome City]] twice, once in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and a second time in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', the [[Hearthome Gym]] remained closed with the [[Gym Leader]] nowhere in sight. Fantina had left a note saying that she was going on a journey for a while, and to not look for her. Apparently she was developing a whole new battle style.<br />
<br />
She finally appeared in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'' where she battled and defeated {{Ash}} and [[Zoey]]. She had a tendency to break into dance regularly, occasionally interspersing {{tt|French|or English in Japan}} phrases in as well, such as "{{tt|s'il vous plaît|Please}}". It was also revealed that she battled [[Alan]] twice with him winning the second time. It was revealed in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' that [[Paul]] also managed to defeat her. <br />
<br />
Ash met with Fantina upon returning to Hearthome City in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' and battled her again in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', where he defeated her and earned the {{Badge|Relic}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', it was revealed that Fantina has once again left her Gym, so {{an|Barry}} had to take a number in order to battle her when she came back. <br />
<br />
Fantina appeared from ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' to ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', having yet again left the Gym in order to be a guest judge for the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]].<br />
<br />
She reappeared in a flashback in [[DP120]].<br />

It was first seen battling [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'' where it was able to easily defeat the Catty Pokémon using Contest combination moves. It was seen later when Fantina was with Ash and his friends in the Pokémon Center.<br />
<br />
It next appeared during the Gym battle against [[Ash's Infernape|Ash's Chimchar]] where, like Gengar, it was unable to withstand the Counter Shield and was eventually knocked out.<br />

Fantina first appeared at the Super Contest Hall. When two women were making rude comments about rookie contestants, she sent out her Drifblim to carry them out and throw them into a garbage can. When Diamond, Pearl and Platinum came back to Hearthome City for the Gym Challenge, they discovered that she was the Gym Leader, saying that her studies for the lifetime passion of Pokémon Contests granted her the title of Hearthome City Gym Leader. Fantina watched as {{adv|Platinum}} made her way through the quizzes given by the Gym easily and took up the challenge, after which her Drifblim was beaten after [[Platinum's Empoleon]] manipulated it into freezing itself using its own wind. Her Mismagius, however, proved to be much trickier; its {{m|Trick Room}} turned Empoleon's speed against it, and beat it easily. It then trapped Platinum and the borrowed {{adv|Lax}} in an illusion where the Pokémon was in a room full of its favorite sweets and Platinum suffered. Before long though, the girl managed to subvert the illusion in her favor with {{adv|Pearl}}'s help, and defeated the Mismagius. She later appeared on the [[Spear Pillar]] with the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders where she fought Team Galactic Commander Saturn along with Roark and together they defeated him. They later fought Cyrus on the top of the Spear Pillar and with the help of her fellow Gym Leaders, they managed to break his Red Chain controlling {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. However, it was revealed that the one they destroyed was the artificial one he had made earlier and they were all defeated by him.<br />

Drifblim first appears after Platinum wins her first Pokémon Contest where it throws the two women who attempted to sabotage her Contest in the trash. Drifblim is used to take {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} to the Lost Tower and later appears at the Celestic Ruins where it saves Diamond and Pearl's lives after they fall off of a stone pillar created by Cyrus' Probopass. Fantina used it in her Gym battle against Platinum where it fought her Empoleon, and despite putting up a good fight, it was defeated when Empoleon used her Blizzard to freeze it. Fantina lent it to Platinum after she learned that her father had gone missing and was later lent to Diamond who used it to sneak in the Team Galactic Airship after failing to stop them from capturing {{p|Mesprit}}.}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* During the Gym battle in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Fantina exclaims "Never give up, never surrender!", the catchphrase from the 1999 science fiction comedy {{wp|Galaxy Quest}}.<br />
* In the Japanese and French versions she speaks English, while in the Danish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish versions she has a noticeable French accent.<br />
* Although Fantina's dress incorporates elements of {{p|Drifblim}}, she does not use a Drifblim in the Gym match in Pokémon Platinum.<br />
* In the anime, {{Ash}} intended to battle Fantina and win the Relic Badge on his first visit to Hearthome City, as his third Badge. While this would have meant that he went out of order compared to Diamond and Pearl, this is the correct order in Platinum, which came out shortly before Ash finally battled her for the Relic Badge (as his fifth).<br />
* If {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Misty}}, <!--{{an|Iris}}, who is not a Gym Leader in the anime continuity,--> {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Clemont}} — all of whom are Ash's travelling companions — aren't counted, the [[Gym Leader]]s to appear in most episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} are Fantina, Clair and Korrina, having appeared in seven episodes each. [[Roark]] takes second place, with six episodes.<br />
* Fantina is one of two Gym Leaders known to have their origins outside the Pokémon nation. However, it is not confirmed where Fantina is from except her home country uses French as the national language. The other is [[Lt. Surge]], who is from the United States.<br />
* Fantina is similar to [[Juan]] in that both speak French (Juan does so in the original Japanese version and Chuang Yi's English translation of [[Pokémon Adventures]]), and both are {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and [[Gym Leader]]s. Juan appeared in a flashback in the episode [[DP093|Fantina debuted in]].<br />
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Fantina uses an Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} without a [[Griseous Orb]] in the [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
