'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[S25|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' until she decided to return home.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew up in [[Cerulean City]] in the [[Kanto]] region with her [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Eventually, Misty became one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders before ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Islands]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.

[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., they battled each other to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.

[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|left|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend a significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Misty never physically appeared in {{aniseries|DP}}, but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during {{aniseries|SM}}, starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterward, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty nearly defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a two-on-one battle, but stopped the match before the final blow could be delivered. She then battled against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} with her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and lost. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that the Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Move]]s, she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.
[[File:Misty catching Clauncher.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty after catching a Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Misty and Ash traveled to a diner. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}} who was working there, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Misty joined Ash to rescue a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', Misty joined Ash to give {{p|Banette}} a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to {{p|Banette}}. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty attempted to aid [[James's Mime Jr.]], who seemingly defected from its Trainer, in locating [[Officer Jenny]] to refer their latest plot. She held off [[James's Yamask]] and [[Jessie's Frillish]] with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessed {{an|Latias}}' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friend {{p|Latios}} escaping confinement.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', alongside all of Ash's traveling companions at the time.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:The gang.png|thumb|220px|Misty and her friends]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]]. In the Japanese version, she uses the pronoun Atashi in reference to herself.

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love, like if it doesn't work out. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. It is implied that this trait was a result of her inferiority complex towards her older sisters. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until {{aniseries|SM}}.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her love for Water-type Pokémon]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Ash), but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.
[[File:Misty Cascade Badge.png|thumb|250px|Misty holding a Cascade Badge]]
Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. During {{aniseries|RS}}, Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.
[[File:Misty fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[JN141|A Squad’s Worth of Passion!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}. When asked how she feels about dual-typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as {{p|Dewpider}}, Misty replied "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.

Early into the series, she was shown to have a more pragmatic view on battling, which is best demonstrated in the third episode where she agreed to Ash fighting against Team Rocket despite the specific battle technically being illegal because it ultimately had the best chances of Ash not losing quickly, and also her disappointment that Ash proceeded to forfeit against Brock instead of taking the lucky advantage against him during his rematch.
{{-}}

===Pokémon===
[[File:Misty party JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty and some of her Pokémon in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

===Main outfits===
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|120px|Misty's main outfit]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up by red suspenders. Most of her midriff is exposed. She wears red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and carries a red drawstring backpack.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically how she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. In {{aniseries|SM}}, Misty holds a [[Key Stone]] on her hairband. She occasionally takes her hair down, but only when she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears her hair down with pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[HS11|A Date With Delcatty]]''. She returned to wearing this outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

====''Ruby and Sapphire''====

She wears short pale and burnt orange ankle boots with it. Misty changed bags three times while wearing this outfit. She had her red drawstring bag from her original outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', a {{p|Spheal}}-shaped backpack from ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and a pink purse in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of the [[Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in {{aniseries|PTS}} where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Misty is the only main character with a game counterpart to not have any of her main outfits influenced by those worn by [[Misty|her game counterpart]].
* Out of all of [[Ash's friends]], Misty:
** Holds the record for having the most Pokémon [[Party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
** Is the first one to have challenged a [[Gym]], albeit an unofficial one, as shown in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
** Is the first one to have released a non-temporary Pokémon permanently.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty:
** Has appeared in the most amount of episodes, at 296.
** Has owned the most Pokémon, at 12.
** Is the first one to have had a full team of six Pokémon on hand, having done so thrice.
** Is the only one to own more than one Pokémon of a given evolutionary line, those being {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name ('''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'', meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}) references the floral theme behind the name of her older sisters: {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. In all other languages, her name references water.
* Out of all of Ash's friends who temporarily returned after departing with Ash, Misty:
** Is the first to return in more than one series.
*** Furthermore, Misty is the only one that has done so to have changed from ''and'' back to her [[#Main outfits|original outfit]], as she returned to wearing her [[original series]] outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', after changing into a different outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' onward.
** Is the only one who has had new Pokémon added to her party, those being {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}.
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]], and then switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned their children and the Cerulean Gym due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old. She also went to school at a girls-only school, with the closest she had to any significant encounter with someone of the opposite sex before meeting Ash was during the third grade where she lured a boy behind the gymnasium to tell him off for picking on one of her friends and beating him up.
* Former director and storyboard artist of [[Pokémon animation]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in {{aniseries|DP}}, but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing," it would be for something else like a battle.
** In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', however, Misty returned as a long-term traveling companion of Ash in ''[[S25|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.
* In the licensed Brazilian music video "[[The Strength of the Master]]", a boy and a girl appear dressed as Ash and Misty.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

The Hoenn League has ended and our friends must go their separate ways. Tyson and Morrison are off to new adventures; May and Max return to Petalburg while Ash and Brock head back to Kanto. Even Team Rocket goes back to headquarters and reports to a thoroughly unimpressed Giovanni. Butch and Cassidy show off their cool new jetpacks, so Team Rocket demands they get something cool too—and end up with pogo sticks.

Ash is now alone, Brock having headed home to Pewter City. In Viridian City, Ash encounters Scott, a flashy fellow who wants to talk about the Battle Frontier. But first Ash ends up challenging the new Viridian Gym Leader, a woman named Agatha. With typical confidence, Ash sends Pikachu to battle Agatha's Gengar and forgets that as a Ghost-type Pokémon, Pikachu won't be able to hit it with normal attacks.

Although Ash quickly adjusts his strategy and Pikachu does its best, it just can't beat Gengar. Still, Agatha is impressed that Ash at least showed some spirit. It's now that Ash learns Agatha is also one of the Elite Four, so it's great that Pikachu managed to last that long in the first place! Scott encourages Ash to try for the Battle Frontier, a series of seven challenges, but they're briefly interrupted by Team Rocket's latest short-lived Pikachu-snatching attempt.

Once Ash finally makes it back home, he finds Misty and her new Azurill waiting for him—and Professor Birch and Max show up as well! A memorable get-together is in the works...

==Plot==
With the [[Ever Grande Conference]] now over, {{Ash}} bids farewell to [[Morrison]] and {{ho|Tyson}} before leaving [[Ever Grande City]] as he and {{ashfr}} head to [[Oldale Town]] to say their goodbyes before heading their separate ways. While preparing to eat lunch, {{an|May}} comments on how she and Max are going to miss {{an|Brock}}'s cooking when they return to [[Petalburg City]] and wishes they could bring some of Brock's recipes with them. Ash asks if they will remember to say hello to [[Norman]] for him, and [[Max]] promises to do that as well as tell him that Ash should have won the Ever Grande Conference, much to Ash's embarrassment. Brock tells Ash that they should stop by to see [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]]. May and Max tell Ash that they will make sure to visit him in [[Pallet Town]] some time. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} pops out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and eats their lunch of [[rice ball]]s, but Brock had prepared extras just in case. Before May and Max split off to return home to Petalburg City, the four friends say their goodbyes and tell each other to make sure to keep in touch.

{{TRT}} returns to the {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket headquarters}} to speak to {{an|Giovanni}} about their progress they made in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. They are reluctant to face him and are worried that he will be very upset with him, but go in anyway. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say that they were the ones responsible for taking down [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], forcing them to disband. Giovanni does not believe them, but gives them a new assignment and says that it is their reward for their hard work. As they are leaving, Team Rocket comments that being convincing does pay off and reward them, revealing that Giovanni had assigned them to {{wp|Antarctica}}, although none of them has ever heard of it. Just then, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] run into Jessie and James with motorized scooters and yell at them to move out of the way. Jessie tells them that they were given a top-secret mission and tries to knock Cassidy over. Cassidy tells Jessie that Giovanni was just trying to get rid of them. They continue glaring and arguing with each other, until a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} runs up to Cassidy and Butch, saying that [[Dr. Namba|Professor Namba]] has a very important assignment for them, and they rush off. Stepping outside, the trio decides to start anew as a new and improved Team Rocket, only to get laughed at by Butch and Cassidy, who fly off with her packs. The trio demands their own equipment from a nearby Grunt, but another Grunt shows up, telling them that he's got their promised equipment for them. To the trio's embarrassment, however, their "equipment" turns out to be set of pogo sticks. They bounce away on them, but accidentally fall over.

May and Max arrive in their hometown of Petalburg City. [[Caroline]] greets them and tells them that Norman is out shopping at the moment. They go to see the Pokémon in the greenhouse and May brings out all of her Pokémon to play. {{TP|May|Skitty}} falls asleep in a tree, {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} smells some flowers, and the other Pokémon run around and play. Meanwhile, Ash and Brock have reached a crossroads and split up to head to their respective [[hometown]]s. While stopping for a break a bit later, Ash spots a {{p|Poliwag}} and asks Max to come look at it, before remembering that he is all by himself now. On his way through [[Viridian City]], Ash notices that the [[Viridian Gym]] has been rebuilt after it [[EP063|collapsed]]. A man introducing himself as [[Scott]], an agent, approaches him and asks if he is there to challenge the [[Gym Leader]], but Ash tells him that he has already won the {{Badge|Earth}}. Scott is impressed and tells Ash that he may be a good enough {{pkmn|Trainer}} to challenge the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. However, before Scott can explain more, an older woman screams as she falls off of her [[bicycle|bike]] nearby and Ash and Scott go to check on her. The woman introduces herself to be [[Agatha]] and tells Ash that she's been working as the new Viridian Gym Leader for several months now. She takes the two into the Gym, and Ash notices that it now looks significantly different than the last time he was there, all thanks to a new coat of paint. Agatha asks Scott how his search for a strong Trainer from the [[Seafoam Islands]] is going, but Scott says the information is confidential. Agatha asks Ash whether he is there to challenge the Gym and Ash explains that he has already won a Badge from the Gym. Scott suggests that Ash should {{pkmn|battle}} Agatha just for fun, and she admits that she defeated the last two Trainers who had come to the Gym with ease and could use a little challenge. Ash mentions how he had just made it to the top eight at the Ever Grande Conference, impressing both Agatha and Scott. By Agatha's request, Scott agrees to act as a [[Battle judge|referee]].
[[File:Agatha Gengar Double Team.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu battling Gengar]]
Ash calls out {{AP|Pikachu}}, while Agatha chooses {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}, whom Ash scans with his [[Pokédex]]. Pikachu starts out with {{m|Quick Attack}}, which simply phases through Gengar since it is a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Agatha criticizes Ash for forgetting such a basic detail. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} as Gengar flattens its body to move under Pikachu and dodge the attack. Gengar uses {{m|Shadow Ball}} as Pikachu dodges and then uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to hit Gengar, sending it to the ceiling. As Pikachu leaps in for another attack, Gengar uses Shadow Ball and hits Pikachu. Pikachu climbs over the Shadow Ball and prepares for another Iron Tail, but Gengar uses {{m|Double Team}} to completely surround Pikachu. Gengar starts charging for a Shadow Ball as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to hit all the fakes and the real one. Despite being hit, Gengar is able to release the Shadow Ball, which Pikachu dodges before using Iron Tail to land another hit. Just before Pikachu is about to finish it off with {{m|Thunder}}, Gengar uses {{m|Hypnosis}} to stop the attack, before following up with {{m|Dream Eater}} to defeat Pikachu. Agatha compliments Ash of the good battle, and he admits to Agatha that he's not even nearly as strong as she is. Scott comments that Ash shouldn't expect to have beaten one of the [[Elite Four]]. While Ash expresses his surprise at Agatha's status, she explains that the official Gym Leader hasn't arrived yet, so she's just filling in for the time being.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been observing the battle and comment on how strong Pikachu really is. They decide to try to capture it and lower their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] behind the Gym. In front of the Gym, Scott asks Ash if he is still interested in challenging the Battle Frontier and begins to explain how it works. He explains that there are seven Battle Frontier [[Battle facility|facilities]] spread out across Kanto that are run by Trainers known as [[Frontier Brain]]s, who are like Gym Leaders but more powerful. Like Gym Leaders hand out Gym Badges, each of the Frontier Brains hands out a [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]] if defeated, and once six Symbols have been earned, the location of the [[Battle Pyramid|secret seventh facility]] will be revealed. Ash decides to challenge the Battle Frontier and Team Rocket, having eavesdropped the entire conversation, decides to make it their next target. Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with a mechanical grabber, before revealing themselves and reciting their brand-new {{motto}}. They try to get away, but Agatha's {{p|Golbat}} uses {{m|Air Cutter}} to cut the grabber's rope, freeing Pikachu. Agatha tells them to leave while they still can, but they stubbornly refuse. Jessie brings out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} while James brings out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to attack. Seviper uses {{m|Bite}} while Pikachu uses Quick Attack to dodge and grab onto Seviper's tail to throw it. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send Seviper flying back into the balloon. Cacnea uses {{m|Pin Missile}} while Golbat uses {{m|Supersonic}} to send it back at Team Rocket. Golbat uses Air Cutter while Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send Team Rocket blasting off. Scott lets Ash know that they will be contacting him soon about the Battle Frontier and Agatha says she will support him all of the way.

Ash returns to his home in Pallet Town and is greeted by {{Delia}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Professor Oak}}. He's surprised to see Misty having an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, and she explains that {{Tracey}} gave it to her as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. [[Mimey]] also greets Ash and is holding Ash's lunch that he prepared. Ash hears a car horn and looks outside to see that Max and Professor Birch have come to visit him as well.

==Trivia==
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a pun on the term "the dream team".
* Both the instrumental and opening vocal versions of [[Advance Adventure]] are used as background music.
** [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]] was also used as background music.
* As of this episode, the entire [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] roster of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] has appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are also the only known characters to have met all of them.
* [[Jessie]] talks excitedly about {{wp|Antarctica}}, the location of their next assignment. This is another instance of the animated series referencing a [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world location]].
* This is the last episode to feature [[Andi Whaley]] as [[Cassidy]], [[Eric Stuart]] as [[Butch]], [[Karen Neill]] as [[Caroline]], and [[Rachael Lillis]] as [[May's Beautifly]] and the [[Pokédex]].
** While this would also be the case for [[Ted Lewis]] as {{an|Giovanni}}, he would eventually return to the role in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''.
** Additionally, this is also the final episode of the animated series to feature [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]] as the Japanese voice of Giovanni. He passed away nearly four months after the episode aired. Starting with ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Giovanni would be voiced by [[Kenta Miyake]].
* [[James]] calls {{an|Team Rocket HQ}} a "{{wp|castle in the sky}}", referencing the {{wp|Studio Ghibli}} film.
* After parting ways with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], Ash and {{an|Brock}} seemingly walk from [[Hoenn]] to [[Kanto]]. However, according to the maps of these regions, they are not connected by land or bridge. How they managed to walk from [[Littleroot Town]] to [[Pallet Town]] and [[Pewter City]] in under a day is unknown. Additionally, [[Professor Birch]] and Max are shown arriving at Ash's home at the end with his SUV, within hours of Max's return home.
* This is the first episode that the Kanto region has ever been called by name in the animated series. It was mentioned by [[Scott]] when he explained that the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}} was "throughout the Kanto region".
* The [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] segment in this episode is the only one to contain two choices instead of three.
* This is the first episode in which the Pokédex has given details about {{p|Gengar}} beyond its name, species, and [[Evolution]]. Previously, Gengar's other details were said to be unknown due to its {{type|Ghost}} properties.

===Errors===
[[File:AG132 error.png|thumb|200px|The coloring error]]
* In several scenes, the white collars on Butch and Cassidy's uniforms are miscolored black.
* In the Pokémon Trainer's Choice segment, {{p|Arcanine}} is stated as having an advantage over {{p|Kirlia}}. This is incorrect because {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon have a neutral effect on each other.
** However, as of [[Generation VI]], Arcanine does have a defensive advantage because it resists Kirlia's {{t|Fairy}} typing.
** When Arcanine is revealed as the answer, it uses {{p|Growlithe}}‘s cry instead of its own.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, {{p|Mr. Mime}} is called "Señor Mime", which also previously happened in ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]''.
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, Butch's incorrect name, Biff, is translated the same way as the English word "beef".
* In Brazilian dub, when {{an|Misty}} is explaning how she got her {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, she refers to {{Tracey}} as a girl.

===Dub edits===
* In the Finnish dub, Misty doesn't specify whom she got Azurill's {{pkmn|Egg}} from.
* In the English dub, May says that her father's car wasn't there when she got home. In the original Japanese version, she just asks where her father was.
* The large sign seen when Ash enters [[Viridian City]] has its text erased in the English dub.

====Pokémon Trainer's Choice====
* Question: Trainers, if Arcanine fought Kirlia, who would have the advantage?
* Choices: Arcanine, Kirlia
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose Arcanine, you were right!

Pborri: Undo revision 4506533 by Pborri (talk)

{{samename|[[character of the day]] from ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]''|Andrea}}
[[File:Andreas.png|250px|thumb|Andreas]]
'''Andreas''' (Japanese: '''トキオ''' ''Tokio'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.

Andreas was a competitor in the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in [[Johto]] who was also distinguished from his victories in other [[fishing]] tournaments. He had a very arrogant attitude, especially towards {{an|Misty}} and her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}. Andreas had a habit of calling Misty "Red", often referred to her Pokémon as weak, and claimed that his {{p|Poliwrath}} was far superior and would therefore win the competition.

Misty and Andreas both ended up capturing a prize-winning {{p|Seaking}}. They had to battle each other to decide who would be the winner, with Misty using her Poliwhirl against his Poliwrath. Misty won, and Andreas, impressed with her victory, apologized to Misty.

{{samename|[[character of the day]] from ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]''|Andrea}}
[[File:Andreas.png|250px|thumb|Andreas]]
'''Andreas''' (Japanese: '''トキオ''' ''Tokio'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.

Andreas was a competitor in the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in [[Johto]] who was also distinguished from his victories in other [[fishing]] tournaments. He had a very mean and arrogant attitude, especially towards {{an|Misty}} and her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}. Andreas had a habit of calling Misty "Red", often referred to her Pokémon as weak, and claimed that his {{p|Poliwrath}} was far superior and would therefore win the competition.

Misty and Andreas both ended up capturing a prize-winning {{p|Seaking}}. They had to battle each other to decide who would be the winner, with Misty using her Poliwhirl against his Poliwrath. Misty won, and Andreas, impressed with her victory, apologized to Misty.

'''J''' (Japanese: '''Ｊ''' ''J''), frequently referred to as '''Pokémon Hunter J''', is a recurring character in {{aniseries|DP}}. She is a [[Pokémon hunter]] who, with the help of [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], captures and steals {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and sells them as requested by her clients for a profit on the {{wp|black market}}.

==History==
[[File:J debut.png|thumb|left|220px|J in her debut]]
Prior to the events of {{aniseries|DP}}, J became a Pokémon hunter, and she stole a {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Relicanth}} and sold them to her clients. She was rewarded a large amount of money. Since then, she was wanted by the [[Officer Jenny]]s in [[Sinnoh]] as a most wanted and deathly dangerous criminal.

J debuted in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', where she rode on her {{TP|J|Salamence}} to [[Melodi]]'s flower garden, where she planned to steal Melodi's {{p|Gardevoir}}. Despite Gardevoir attempting to escape with {{m|Teleport}}, J found it using her goggles and hit it with a special beam from a device on her arm that turned it into stone. J then made her exit with Melodi's Gardevoir, and {{Ash}} chased after her, demanding that she return Gardevoir to Melodi, but then J went after [[Ash's Pikachu]] since she thought Pikachu would be worth a sizable amount of money. J had her {{p|Drapion}} battle Ash's Pikachu in an attempt to see his moves. After Pikachu used {{m|Volt Tackle}}, J used her {{p|Ariados}} to bind Ash to a rock and then proceeded to steal Pikachu without any trouble.

After {{TRT}} dealt with [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], J encountered them next. As with her encounter with Ash, she bound the trio to a rock. Due to his ability to [[Talking Pokémon|talk]], she turned {{MTR}} into stone for the same reason as Ash's Pikachu. J was then seen by a waterwheel, stealing an {{p|Absol}}. Before the other officers arrived as backup, Ash immediately confronted J, where the Pokémon Hunter took on Officer Jenny's {{p|Arcanine}} with Salamence and won. J immediately went to her airship with Ash, [[Jessie]] and [[James]], who called a truce with each other to rescue their Pokémon. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into her airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all the others she had stolen. When part of her airship was damaged, she told her pilot to separate from the damaged part of the ship. When warned that some of her henchmen were still there, J did not care in the slightest. Those henchmen ended up falling to their near-deaths before being captured by Officer Jenny, while J remained at large.
[[File:J anime.png|thumb|220px|J's appearance in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', J was on a mission to steal a group of {{p|Shieldon}}. She was seen contacting her henchmen and [[J's client (DP071)|client]] about the Shieldon. J eventually found the Shieldon with Ash, {{ashfr}}, and {{Gary}}. Ash and Gary had a [[Double Battle]] with her, while {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} led the Shieldon to safety. However, one of the Shieldon fell, and J turned it to stone in order to steal it. J attempted to give the petrified Shieldon to her client, but Ash and Gary attacked the airbase which prevented her from doing so. Her client cut off the deal to obtain the Shieldon, since Officer Jenny was near. After telling Ash and his friends not to get in her way next time, she told her second-in-command to establish radio contact with their employer, in order to tell him that they would not be doing service with him again.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', J was given the assignment to steal a [[Aura Sphere Riolu|special Riolu]] for her client. One of her henchmen informed J about their encounter with [[Kellyn]], Ash, Dawn, and Brock. Later, J found the group by a lake. After Ash and {{p|Riolu}} separated from the group, J went to a forest. She then proceeded to burn the forest using her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

J continued to do so in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]''. She was able to capture the Riolu, but Ash followed her onto the airship. J soon became aware of Ash's arrival and ordered Drapion to grab him as soon as he confronted her. Although Ash escaped from Drapion's grasp, J quickly ejected him from her ship. J then met up with her client and gave him the {{m|Aura Sphere|special}} Riolu. She left after receiving payment from him, but the Riolu was later rescued from the client, who was then arrested.

Sometime before ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', J was given a request from one of her clients to catch a {{p|Regigigas}} and traveled to the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. After {{an|Brandon}} heard the news about the situation in the Snowpoint Temple, J had her henchmen work to prevent the [[Battle Pyramid]] from getting closer. Even though he and the group were able to narrowly defeat the henchmen's Pokémon, J already had her Salamence destroy the pillars guarding Regigigas. Despite Brandon and [[Maria]] warning J about not waking up Regigigas, she destroyed the last pillar, forcing Regigigas to awaken. When Regigigas began to rampage, J was able to leave the Snowpoint Temple. She watched as Brandon used [[Brandon's legendary giants|his Pokémon]] to calm Regigigas and then bound the group with {{p|Ariados}}'s String Shot. J went after the legendary giants during their rampage. She attempted to turn Regigigas to stone, but Brandon and his Pokémon jumped in the way to prevent it from happening. Regigigas destroyed J's bracelet and withdrew from the area when her client decided to cancel the deal.

[[File:J glasses sinking.png|thumb|left|250px|J's glasses shown outside the sinking ship]]

In ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', J was hired by [[Team Galactic]] to catch {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}}, and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', she proceeded to carry out the task of capturing them. Gary attempted to stop her from doing so with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] overpowered the two. J then dropped a Galactic Bomb into [[Lake Valor]] to force Azelf into the open. With the help of Team Galactic's {{p|Golbat}}, J was able to catch Azelf. This caused Uxie and Mesprit to appear. Although Uxie and Mesprit were putting up a good fight and dodging attacks from [[Mars's Purugly]] and [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}}, J captured the two of them as well.

Although she did succeed in capturing the {{an|lake guardians}}, her ship was hit by two {{m|Future Sight}} attacks used by Uxie and Mesprit directly before she captured them, which, in her overconfidence, she had forgotten. As a result, her ship crashed into [[Lake Valor]] and was sucked into a whirlpool while she and her crew members were still on board. Once the ship was underwater, the protective glass broke and the ship was flooded, causing it to explode. It is unknown if J, her Pokémon, or any of her crew died or survived.

She appeared briefly in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' in {{TRT}}'s fantasy riding her Salamence.

==Character==
[[File:J and Ash.png|thumb|220px|J and Ash]]
J is ruthless, relentless, and cruel, willing to do anything to capture Pokémon for her clients, up to and including injuring innocent people or Pokémon. In her debut episode, she chose to drop some of her {{TP|J|henchmen}} to their potential deaths without hesitation or remorse, emphasizing her intensely independent, sociopathic, greedy, and callous nature. She has no honor, decency, or regard for any form of life - the only thing that matters to her is money. She is one of the very few characters (including the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], [[Dr. Yung]], [[Grings Kodai]], and [[Alva]]) in {{aniseries|PTS}} who is purely evil.

J is also highly pragmatic. She is reluctant to harm Pokémon that she is trying to capture - as they would be less valuable to her clients - and she will forgo direct combat in favor of sneak attacks and mass destruction if the opportunity presents itself. This contributes to her high threat level in the series. However, she also tends to underestimate her opponents when on the verge of victory, which often leads to her defeat and ultimately ensures her (seemingly) final downfall.

Out of all of the characters that encountered her, she has a dislike for {{Ash}} the most as evidenced when he kept on interfering with her job and the fact that most of the encounters had Ash nearly killed or severely injured had it not been for the unlikely intervention of {{ashfr}} and Pokémon, and other characters supporting the protagonists.

Ash fought J's Drapion with his Aipom and Turtwig, but both Pokémon never stood a chance. Drapion didn't take damage from either Aipom or Turtwig's attacks, and struck the Pokémon with its Cross Poison.

In ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]'', J used her Drapion again in order to harm Ash without warning. It wrapped its claws tightly around Ash's midsection and began to squeeze him. Ash responded to this by kicking it in the face, making it one of the only Pokémon Ash ever intentionally hurt.

Drapion's known moves are {{m|Poison Sting}}, {{m|Cross Poison}}, and {{m|Pin Missile}}.}}

===Gadgets===
* J has what looks like some sort of cannon attached to her arm that is able to turn Pokémon and humans into stone. The effects are permanent unless Pokémon are placed in a special case or revived with {{m|Hidden Power}}. In ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]]'', it was destroyed when Regigigas reflected her Salamence's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} back at her. The device had been repaired or replaced by the time the events of ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' took place.
* She also has cases for those Pokémon turned to stone which can adjust how much the body is covered with stone.
* Her goggles also have many abilities, like detecting heat and {{m|camouflage}}d or {{m|transform}}ed Pokémon.

===Transportation===
* She has six-wheeled vans driven by her henchmen that can shoot out nets and have retractable arms.
* She travels throughout the Pokémon world in an airship. This ship is equipped with a stealth cloaking device that can render the ship invisible which helps in deterring pursuers, mounting surprise attacks, and making her business dealings more private and less vulnerable to outside interference. It is also capable of firing lasers from its front and has a bottom-mounted cannon that shoots a gum-like substance for restraining and capturing Pokémon.

(Japanese: '''ロケット団ＶＳプラズマ団！（前編）''' ''{{tt|Rocket-dan|Team Rocket}} VS {{tt|Plasma-dan|Team Plasma}}! (Part 1)'') was intended to be the 23rd episode of {{aniseries|BW}}, and the 680th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]].

This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on March 17, 2011, but was postponed, along with the original {{OBP|BW024|unaired}}, indefinitely because of the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} and the {{wp|Fukushima nuclear disaster}}. TV Tokyo said in 2011 that it would someday air, but this statement was never updated or clarified and was ultimately removed late in 2018. As they were never released, the events that were supposed to occur in this episode and the next one are not considered [[canon]], and episodes from ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' onward disregard them entirely.
{{spoilers}}

==Plot==
{{an|Giovanni}} arrives in [[Unova]] to oversee the collection of the [[Meteonite]] from the [[Relic Castle]] in the [[Desert Resort]], which is done through a ritual using [[Team Rocket]]'s modern science to recreate ancient technology. Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} travel to the Desert Resort with [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Officer Jenny]] to investigate why a swarm of {{p|Venipede}} attacked [[Castelia City]] in [[BW022|the previous episode]]. However, their helicopter is shot down by a {{m|Hyper Beam}} from a {{p|Liepard}} owned by {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|three members}} of a [[Team Plasma|mysterious organization]], who also express interest in the Meteonite and want to obtain it for the benefit of {{an|N|their hero}}. {{ashfr|Ash's group}} is separated from Officer Jenny and Professor Juniper when the latter fall through a sinkhole leading to the ruins around the Relic Castle and must pursue Team Rocket alone; Jenny and Juniper are later rescued by [[Looker]], who is on the trail of the secret organization opposing Team Rocket.

The [[Sunglasses Krokorok]] appears and helps Ash, Iris, and Cilan to get closer to Team Rocket, even attacking a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} so {{AP|Pikachu}} can preserve its power for their rematch. However, the group is forced to hide in [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, getting trapped there when it lifts off to collect the Meteonite. When the Meteonite is taken into the cargo hold, Pikachu's electricity makes contact with it, causing Pikachu to fall ill. Dr. Zager notices unusual activity in the hold, forcing Ash to allow himself to be taken prisoner so Iris and Cilan can escape with Pikachu.

Team Rocket returns to Castelia City, where Giovanni has assembled a masquerade party of Unova's underworld. Looker and Professor Juniper infiltrate the party in disguise, meeting up with Cilan, who has done the same. Giovanni presents the Meteonite and demonstrates its power to the guests, using it as a tool to ransom total control over Unova and calling upon the guests to join Team Rocket. However, three members of the mysterious organization are also present at the party, and scheme to take the Meteonite for themselves.

==Major events==

* {{an|Giovanni}} travels to [[Unova]] and claims the [[Meteonite]] from [[Relic Castle]], bringing it back to [[Castelia City]].
* A {{TP|James|Yamask}} begins to follow [[James]].

[[File:Oak Live Caster BW030.png|thumb|250px|A clip from this episode featured in Prof. Oak's Pokémon Live Caster for [[BW030]]]]

* This and [[BW024 (unaired)|the next episode]] are the only {{aniseries|BW}} episodes that were [[banned episodes|skipped]].
* Unlike [[AG101 (unaired)|the only other skipped episode]] in Japan, this two-parter was supposed to be important to the overall storyline instead of being a standalone episode.
* Despite the episode being pulled from the air, the preview for it remains attached to [[BW022|the previous episode]] during reruns in Japan.
** Additionally, while the first edition of the Japanese rental DVD with this episode on it replaced the preview for one of [[BW023|the episode that actually followed]], the original preview for the skipped episode was reinstated in subsequent printings.
* Had this episode aired in time, it would have marked the {{pkmn|animated series}} debuts of [[Team Plasma]], {{p|Liepard}}, [[James's Yamask]], and the return of [[Looker]].
** Due to Team Plasma's debut being delayed, the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunts}} were never actually shown in their original outfits from {{game|Black and White|s}} in the animated series, which they were supposed to wear in this episode. When they eventually debuted in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', they were seen using their new outfits from {{B2W2}}.
* In [[BW030]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] showed a brief scene from this episode which revealed the [[Sunglasses Krokorok]] was to have appeared.
* Scenes highly resembling the scenes seen in this two-part episode's previews were later used in ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' during [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest.
** {{Ash}} being captured by Team Rocket and imprisoned aboard [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter as the team carries out their plans was reused as a plot element in ''Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!''.
** In addition, an updated design of the [[Meteonite]]'s chamber in the [[Relic Castle]] is used as the Golden [[Dark Stone]]'s chamber in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]'' and as the [[Light Stone]]'s chamber in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''.
* The script of these two unaired episodes surfaced in May 2023, detailing their contents.<ref>https://bulbagarden.net/threads/bw023-bw024-unaired-scripts-found.297127/</ref> Notably, the early script for this episode revealed that its original title was ''The Evil Organizations Gather - The Desert Resort'' (Japanese: '''悪の組織集結・リゾートデザート''') instead of the title it was ultimately given.
** In this episode's early script, the masquerade party took place at a luxury resort within the Desert Resort, instead of in Castelia City.

==Blurb==

Ash is flying on the back of the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and having a great time! Suddenly, they are confronted by Iris, who’s riding the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom and challenging them to battle! Zekrom unleashes a fearsome Thunderbolt that knocks Ash right out of the sky...

...and into his bed at Professor Juniper’s lab. He’s been dreaming, and when Iris couldn’t wake him up, she asked Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on him. She tells him to go get ready, because the next part of their adventure starts today! Ash is planning to head home to the Kanto region, and Cilan and Iris both decide they want to come along! Professor Juniper suggests that they travel to Kanto on a cruise ship that stops in the Decolore Islands, an idea everyone seems to like...including three eavesdroppers from Team Rocket.

Thanks to some Team Rocket trickery, our heroes end up aboard their small ship instead of the one that’s actually going to Kanto. Jessie, disguised as a ship’s attendant, gets Ash, Iris, and Cilan to leave their Poké Balls with her, and invites Pikachu and Axew along for a snack. She locks the Pokémon inside the playroom while James (disguised as the captain) takes our heroes to their room and locks them in too.

But one Poké Ball rolled away while Jessie was distracted, so Oshawott is free to explore the ship—and it quickly discovers Team Rocket’s plot! Oshawott attacks, and its Razor Shell hits the control panel, knocking out power to the ship and unlocking all the doors. Ash, Iris, and Cilan quickly reclaim their Pokémon and head to the deck to confront Team Rocket! A battle begins, even though Cilan warns fighting on a ship probably isn’t a good idea. And he’s quickly proven right when Iris tells Excadrill to use Dig—and it digs right through the bottom of the ship, which begins to sink!

Team Rocket blasts off on a huge spout of water, and our heroes manage to escape, finding their way onto the right ship this time. It’s all aboard for Kanto by way of the Decolore Islands, as the adventure continues!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} wakes up after having a dream about {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}. {{an|Iris}} bemoans Ash's sleepiness, and Ash realizes that Iris had {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to wake him up. Ash realizes they are back in [[Nuvema Town]], staying with [[Professor Juniper]], and Iris tells him to get dressed. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} informs {{an|Giovanni}} of their success in stopping [[Team Plasma]]. Giovanni congratulates them and eventually ends the call. Pleased and excited, [[Jessie]] suggests that they prove themselves worthy of their praise by catching {{AP|Pikachu}} and the other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which {{MTR}} and [[James]] agree to.

Back at Juniper's lab, Ash tells Juniper about his dream, saying that it was awesome, except the weird ending. Iris, annoyed, states that it was not her fault that he could not wake up. {{an|Cilan}} and Juniper remind Iris that Ash was exhausted, and Juniper then asks Ash what his next plan is. Ash decides to return to [[Kanto]], shocking Iris, who then appears to think about something. Ash explains that he wants to tell {{an|Professor Oak}} about his journey, and Juniper asks Cilan his plan. However, Cilan is interrupted by Iris, who decides to go with Ash, with confirmation from {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, stating that she wants to learn more about {{t|Dragon}} [[type]]s from other [[region]]s. Cilan states that he was hoping to go with Ash as well to continue his journey to be top [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Juniper asks how they are going to get to Kanto, but Ash is not sure. Juniper mentioned he got here by plane and suggests that they take a cruise through the [[Decolore Islands]], where several rare Pokémon live. Ash, Iris, and Cilan decide to take the cruise, which Team Rocket overhear, and begin coming up with a plan.

Ash, Pikachu, and {{AP|Oshawott}} inform Professor Oak their plan to return to Kanto by boat. Juniper decides to send Ash's Pokémon from [[Unova]] over to Oak. {{AP|Muk}} shows its excitement about Ash returning by tackling Oak, causing Oak to hang up to calm Muk down.

Arriving at the port, Juniper buys Ash, Iris, and Cilan their tickets. Meowth tells James to initiate their plan, and when Juniper emerges with the tickets, James, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as an elderly man]], bumps into her, causing her to drop the tickets. He quickly switches the real tickets with three fake ones, and Juniper walks over to give them to the kids. Ash, Cilan, and Iris thank Juniper as she returns to work.

The group heads over to their ship, while Cilan reminds Ash that this will be his and Iris's first time in Kanto. Cilan then gives [[Porter]] their tickets, but Porter informs them that their tickets are not for this ship. Bummed, the three try to find their actual ship. Jessie approaches them in disguise and tells them that their tickets are for her ship. Excited, the kids follow Jessie to a smaller, old ship. Jessie informs Meowth that she completed her part of the plan as James gives the heroes a tour of the ship. Jessie explains that they have a Relax-and-refresh-o-matic for their Pokémon, and a playroom for Pikachu and Axew. Ash, Iris, and Cilan give Jessie their [[Poké Ball]]s and send Pikachu and Axew with her, while James leads them to their cabin. Jessie accidentally drops Oshawott, who emerges from his Poké Ball and runs off to find Ash.

Ash and Iris are quick to complain about their cabin’s shabby nature, while Cilan says that it is really just old-world charm. James reminds them to remain in their cabin until the ship leaves port and leaves, the door locking behind him. Soon after, Pikachu, Axew, and Jessie arrive at the playroom, where Jessie puts the Poké Balls in the Relax-and-refresh-o-matic and tells the Pokémon to enjoy their stay. She then leaves, and the door locks behind her.

As Oshawott continues to explore the ship, he finds his way to the bridge, where he overhears Jessie, James, and Meowth discuss their plan. Enraged, he continues to listen. Oshawott, finally annoyed when he finds out that Jessie and James plan to leave Ash, Cilan, and Iris floating in the ocean alone, attacks the three Team Rocket members, who try to catch him. He accidentally {{m|Razor Shell}}s the button to unlock the doors, sending Iris flying as she was currently tugging on hers. The three decide to find their Pokémon while Pikachu leaves Axew and the playroom to find Ash to free the Pokémon from the Relax-and-refresh-o-matic. Cilan quickly realizes that they are the only passengers on the ship, and Ash finds Oshawott's Poké Ball. Pikachu soon arrives to tell them about the others, and after he and Ash hug, he leads them back to the playroom. Cilan frees the Poké Balls, and the group decide to escape the ship after they find Oshawott.

Meanwhile, Oshawott is about to get caught by Team Rocket, but Ash finds him and distracts the three villains long enough for Oshawott to get away. Team Rocket {{motto|introduce themselves}}, shocking and annoying Ash, Iris, and Cilan, who remind them that they helped them earlier. Jessie, James, and Meowth reveal their scheme, but Oshawott had stopped them. Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} while Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Cilan warns them not to battle on board, but the others ignore them as Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}}, which Woobat dodges. Amoonguss tries to {{m|Body Slam}} Excadrill, who escapes via {{m|Dig}}. However, this causes the ship to begin flooding. While the group escape, Team Rocket have Amoonguss and Woobat plug the hole, which works temporarily—however, an explosion occurs and Team Rocket is sent blasting off as the pressure becomes too much for their small Pokémon to hold.

Ash catches an envelope containing their ''real'' tickets, and the group runs off to get on the correct ship, but it is about to leave. At the dock, Porter takes a moment to check his watch, when he overhears the group’s calls for the ship to wait. The group relaxes, relieved that they are finally on an actual cruise. Porter greets them and introduces himself, thanking them for choosing the ''Decolore Queen''. The group now leave Unova behind and head to Kanto via the Decolore Islands.

The Lapras herd are a herd of Lapras that travel around the world. They are led by [[Ash's Lapras]].

==In animation==
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:EP113.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash's Lapras and its mother]]
Sometime prior to ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', the herd came past [[Tangelo Island]] where a young Lapras became separated from the herd and ended up washing ashore. The Lapras was caught and tortured by [[Three punks]]. Ash saved Lapras and caught it, promising to return it to its family.

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', the Lapras herd were travelling past [[Tarroco Island]] when they were spotted by Ash's Lapras who was excited to see his family again. One of the Lapras was happy to see it again but the others weren't as it was with humans so the Lapras attacked it before escaping. They reappeared later on having come under attack by a group of pirates led by [[Captain Crook]]. Ash and {{ashfr}} were able to save the Lapras herd allowing Ash's Lapras to rejoin the herd before they swam off.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', the Lapras herd reappeared where Ash was reunited with his Lapras. Their reunion was cut short when {{TRT}} attempted to catch the Lapras herd. With help from Ash, his Lapras, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} the herd were freed and helped send Team Rocket blasting off. As the herd were about to leave, the leader decided to make Ash's Lapras the new leader which it accepted.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', the Lapras herd briefly appeared when Ash's Lapras returned to them after reuniting with Ash.

===Personality and characteristics===
When they first appeared, the Lapras herd showed a wariness of humans. This was because they had previously been attacked by a group of pirates whilst in a no-capture zone. On seeing one of their young with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, they initially rebuked the Lapras, refusing it to rejoin the herd though it mother showed reluctance, wanting it to rejoin the group. This changed later on when Ash and his friends saved them when they were attacked by [[Captain Crook]] and his pirates. Once they were saved, they allowed Ash's Lapras to rejoin the herd.

The Lapras herd are a herd of Lapras that travel around the world. They are led by [[Ash's Lapras]].

==In animation==

[[File:EP113.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash's Lapras and its mother]]
Sometime prior to ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', the herd came past [[Tangelo Island]] where a young Lapras became separated from the herd and ended up washing ashore. It was caught and tortured by [[Three punks]]. Ash saved and caught the Lapras, promising to return it to its family.

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', the Lapras herd were travelling past [[Tarroco Island]] when they were spotted by Ash's Lapras who was excited to see his family again. One of the Lapras was happy to see it again but the others weren't as it was with humans so the Lapras attacked it before escaping. They reappeared later on having come under attack by a group of pirates led by [[Captain Crook]]. Ash and {{ashfr}} were able to save the Lapras herd allowing Ash's Lapras to rejoin the herd before they swam off.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', the Lapras herd reappeared where Ash was reunited with his Lapras. Their reunion was cut short when {{TRT}} attempted to catch the Lapras herd. With help from Ash, his Lapras, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} the herd were freed and helped send Team Rocket blasting off. As the herd were about to leave, the leader decided to make Ash's Lapras the new leader which it accepted.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', the Lapras herd briefly appeared when Ash's Lapras returned to them after reuniting with Ash.

===Personality and characteristics===
When they first appeared, the Lapras herd showed a wariness of humans. This was because they had previously been attacked by a group of pirates whilst in a no-capture zone. On seeing one of their young with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, they initially rebuked the Lapras, refusing it to rejoin the herd though it mother showed reluctance, wanting it to rejoin the group. This changed later on when Ash and his friends saved them when they were attacked by [[Captain Crook]] and his pirates. Once they were saved, they allowed Ash's Lapras to rejoin the herd.

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends have reached Shelter Town, a snow-covered town near Snowpoint City, and they’re taking a break at the Pokémon Center. When Dawn brings out her Buneary, it attracts attention from Marilyn, a Trainer who loves cute Pokémon more than anything else. Marilyn thinks Piplup isn’t cute at all, but she wants to battle Buneary; Dawn agrees, eager to avenge Piplup’s pride. As it turns out, Marilyn only wants to watch her Cherubi act dramatic. Brock has to prod her to actually battle, but when she does battle, she wins!

To show Marilyn that cuteness isn’t everything, Brock asks her for a battle. She doesn’t like his Sudowoodo or Croagunk, but she agrees to a 3-on-3 battle if it includes Brock’s super-cute Happiny. Team Rocket wants to get their hands on Marilyn’s adorable Pokémon, so James disguises himself as the match referee. The match begins with Sudowoodo battling Cherubi, and Sudowoodo uses Mimic and Fake Tears to imitate Cherubi’s acting. Marilyn has to admit, Sudowoodo’s dramatics are as good as Cherubi’s—but James wants to see Marilyn’s other Pokémon, so he calls it a tie and calls for the next set of Pokémon!

Now it’s Croagunk vs. Marilyn’s Chingling. Chingling has the upper hand, but Brock shows Marilyn how a Trainer’s encouragement can inspire a Pokémon to keep fighting. So when it’s time for Marilyn’s third Pokémon, she changes her team and sends out a Shellder! She always thought Shellder was cute, but people teased her and soon she became obsessed with typical “cute” Pokémon. Now she’s ready to stand behind her Shellder! But before Shellder and Happiny can battle, Team Rocket steals her Cherubi and Chingling. Shellder promptly freezes Team Rocket so Marilyn can rescue her Pokémon, and Happiny blasts Team Rocket into the sky. Brock’s lesson worked: Marilyn is proud of her Shellder again, so our heroes can change into cold-weather gear and get ready to leave for Snowpoint City!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} emerge from the tunnel and receive a very cold welcoming, having now entered the snowy north of [[Sinnoh]]. Just ahead is [[Shelter Town]], the final stop before [[Snowpoint City]], so the group makes a pit stop at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. There, {{an|Dawn}} asks after a package that is due to be delivered to her, however [[Nurse Joy]] informs her it hasn't arrived yet. To pass the time, Dawn lets {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} out of her {{i|Poké Ball}} to let her have some fun with the other Pokémon. Cute Pokémon enthusiast [[Marilyn]] takes the group by surprise when she comes racing for Buneary and starts to hug her. She explains that her criteria for cuteness is that the Pokémon must be under [[List of Pokémon by height|2 feet (60 cm) tall]], must not have evolved, and looks "absolutely lovely". Therefore Dawn introduces her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Despite the fact that he meets two of her requirements, Marilyn discourages the fact he's cute and starts to remark on the features that turns off Piplup's cuteness, causing Piplup to be paralyzed in shock. After calling Dawn "Dawny", claiming it was a cuter name than Dawn, Marilyn asks Dawn for a {{pkmn|battle}}, which she accepts.

Marilyn almost forgets about the battle when Buneary is called out. She apologizes before sending out her {{p|Cherubi}} onto the field. While Marilyn is too busy fawning over her own Pokémon, Buneary batters Cherubi around with {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. Dawn calls for an {{m|Ice Beam}}, and Marilyn replies with {{m|Protect}}, however Cherubi still recoils in pain even though Protect was successful. {{an|Brock}} realizes that this is simply Marilyn's attempt to stall the battle, and he orders her to battle properly or be disqualified. Marilyn changes her ditzy demeanour and orders Brock stay out of this, and proclaims that this match is an art form and will be the most valiant battle ever. Brock persists, so Marilyn complies, knocking Buneary out with a fury of attack before dealing the final blow with a {{m|Solar Beam}}. Marilyn is very pleased with herself, while Brock refuses to believe that a Pokémon's cuteness is their only asset in battle.

Nearby, {{TRT}} plans on taking Marilyn's Cherubi by tricking her to battle them. After some thought, Jessie has [[James]] hand over {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} as it meets Marilyn's cuteness criteria. Jessie, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as cuteness aficionado Jessirilyn]], confronts Marilyn and tells her she wants to battle and shows Mime Jr. to her, Marilyn however disagrees that it's cute crushing Mime Jr.'s feelings before walking off. James comforts his broken-hearted Pokémon before putting Team Rocket's next ploy into motion. Hoping to teach Marilyn the true value of every Pokémon, Brock challenges her to a three-on-three battle. Then James enters disguised as an official match referee offering his services and Marilyn, not realizing this is a little too convenient, asks him to officiate the battle.

After James announce the rules, Marilyn and Brock sends out Cherubi and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} respectively. Sudowoodo starts with {{m|Double-Edge}} which scores a direct hit, making Cherubi fall down dramatically. Marilyn however ignores the fact it was hit and remarks that Cherubi took the hit valiantly, causing Brock to scold her some more. To beat Marilyn at her own cuteness game, Brock orders Sudowoodo to use {{m|Mimic}}, causing it to fall down dramatically too, followed by {{m|Fake Tears}}. This causes Marilyn to start realizing the true strength of Pokémon. Wanting to move things along so he can see what other Pokémon Marilyn has, James declares the round as a tie as the two Trainers [[recall]] their Pokémon to their Poké Balls.

Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} while Marilyn calls out {{p|Chingling}}. Croagunk gains the upper hand against Chingling. However Dawn sees through the act and orders Marilyn to get to the point, with Marilyn hastily obeying. She orders Chingling use {{m|Growl}} along with {{m|Confusion}} and Croagunk is almost knocked out. Brock isn't willing to give up and encourages Croagunk to get up, and not wanting to let Brock down it does and uses {{m|Brick Break}}, defeating Chingling. Brock tells Marilyn that any Pokémon can be valiant regardless of their looks, unless the Trainer bonds with their Pokémon. The two return their Pokémon, with Brock congratulating Croagunk on an excellent battle.

Having listened to Brock, Marilyn switches a Poké Ball containing a cute Pokémon for another Pokémon, which her friends mocked her for. Like Happiny, Marilyn's {{p|Shellder}} makes its battle debut. Meowth and Jessie are disturbed by the choice of Shellder, and rope down from the ceiling to confront Marilyn over it. James removes his disguise and riffles through Marilyn's bag to steal the Poké Balls containing Cherubi and Chingling. Marilyn deals with the troublesome trio swiftly, having her Shellder use {{m|Brine}} to catapult itself into them. The stolen Balls are flung out of the trio's grasp before Marilyn has Shellder freeze Team Rocket with an {{m|Ice Beam}}. [[Brock's Happiny]] uses {{m|Pound}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. Brock is glad to see that Marilyn has heeded their words, and is not so occupied with the cuteness factor of her Pokémon.

Later, Dawn receives the package from [[Johanna|her mother]], which contains winter clothing for her, Ash and Brock. Now dressed in thick jackets and boots to brave the cold, Marilyn compliments them looking cute in them, the group prepares to head towards Snowpoint City so Ash can battle for his seventh Sinnoh [[Badge|Gym Badge]].

==Blurb==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ash checks the status of his Pokémon and notices the expression on Charizard's face. Charizard has noticed a nearby human within the vicinity. The underbrush moves gently as Ash welcomes {{an|Brandon|Pyramid King Brandon}} with exuberance. Brandon extends an invitation for the second official battle. Morning arrives as the two head towards the Pokémon Center. As the group is seated inside the center, [[Scott]] reveals that any participant who can successfully complete the Battle Frontier is entered into the [[Hall of Fame]] and becomes a [[Frontier Brain]] candidate, giving them a chance to set up their own [[battle facility]]. When asked how he knows all this information, he surprises the group by introducing himself as the owner of the Battle Frontier. As the time for the battle comes and Ash and Brandon take their places on the battlefield, the Battle Pyramid's ceiling opens up. Brandon calls upon his {{p|Dusclops}}, while Ash selects Charizard as his start.

Charizard doesn't hesitate to begin the battle with his Flamethrower as Dusclops counterattacks with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} with both attacks clashing and dispersing into the atmosphere. Charizard charges and uses Steel Wing as Dusclops uses {{m|Shadow Punch}}, making for a direct hit. Charizard recovers and strikes it down with {{m|Dragon Breath}}. After Dusclops manages to recover, it counterattacks with {{m|Mean Look}}. Charizard charges his wings again and descends towards Dusclops for another Steel Wing attack, which hits directly. Dusclops takes advantage of Charizard being up close and uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} to confuse Charizard, which works perfectly. Ash attempts to recall Charizard back into his Poké Ball, but [[Escape prevention|proves unsuccessful]] due to Mean Look. Dusclops strikes Charizard with another Shadow Punch, sending it flying back into a wall as Ash tries to help Charizard recover. Dusclops strikes down with another Will-O-Wisp for a direct hit. Ash attempts to remind Charizard of his past battles while the {{pkmn|category|Flame Pokémon}} tries to come back to his senses. Charizard snaps out of his confusion and launches another Dragon Breath attack for a direct hit. Dusclops launches another Will-O-Wisp attack, knocking Charizard backward. Charizard is now pretty tired after all the damage taken, and Dusclops is also showing signs of fatigue. Charizard blazes forward with another Steel Wing attack, hitting directly, and rotates around to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}. As Charizard prepares to execute the attack, however, Dusclops's body suddenly disappears from Charizard's grasp, Ash realizing too late that he had completely forgotten about the {{t|Ghost}} type's immunity to {{type|Fighting}} moves. Dusclops takes advantage of this blunder and uses another Shadow Punch to [[fainting|incapacitate]] Charizard. With one of Ash's most powerful Pokémon down, his chances of beating the Battle Frontier are now looking quite uncertain.

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

===Errors===
* {{Ash}} refers to {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} as his first Pokémon, when in reality, he {{pkmn2|caught}} {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Pidgeot}} before the latter three. However, this is possibly due to Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle being the four earliest caught Pokémon that he still owns, as he formally released Butterfree and Pidgeot in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'' and ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', respectively.
* When Charizard returns, his eyes are light-green, but before he uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, his eyes are colored blue.
* Charizard is missing the pads on his feet when he comes out of his Poké Ball during the battle against Brandon.
* When {{an|Brock}} says that he is wondering what [[Officer Jenny]] will be doing after work, the collar on his shirt turns the same color as his body, making it appear as though his head is disconnected from his body.
* In Ash's flashback of Charizard, he is shown battling [[Noland's Articuno]] in his [[original series]] clothing instead of his outfit for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. Also, it shows Charizard using {{m|Dragon Breath}} on [[Harrison's Blaziken]], when he hadn't learned that move at that point.
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} [[dub]], [[Scott]] incorrectly states that he's the owner of the [[Frontier Brain]], instead of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.
* {{p|Dusclops}}'s {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} should not have affected Charizard, being a {{type|Fire}}.

===Dub edits===
* Team Rocket refers to waiting for "[[breaking the fourth wall|nine seasons]]" in the English dub.
* In the English dub, when {{an|Professor Oak}} says his senryū, [[Max]] adds a final line to it and says he always wanted to try it. In the original Japanese version, Max says "Everyone catch Pokémon", the line Professor Oak says at the end of every [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|Pokémon Lecture]] session.

'''Cameron''' (Japanese: '''コテツ''' ''Kotetsu'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and one of {{Ash}}'s [[rival]]s in {{aniseries|BW}}.

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Cameron Unova.png|thumb|left|250px|Cameron in his debut]]
Cameron debuted in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''. He met {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Dawn}} as they were leaving the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] with his {{TP|Cameron|Riolu}}. He had meant to compete but arrived too late. He later appeared as the group was seeing Dawn off. He announced he was going to take part in the [[Unova League]], but he was missing his eighth [[Badge]] because he thought that only seven Badges were required to enter. He also mistakenly thought the League was going to be in [[Ecruteak City]] in [[Johto]].

In ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'', Cameron challenged [[Marlon]] to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} for a {{Badge|Wave}}. He used his {{p|Ferrothorn}} and {{p|Samurott}} to battle Marlon's {{p|Jellicent}} and {{p|Mantine}}. Ultimately, Cameron and his Pokémon were able to come through with the win against Marlon and his Pokémon in order to get the last Badge necessary for Cameron to compete in the [[Unova League]].
[[File:Cameron Wave Badge.png|thumb|250px|Cameron receiving his last Badge]]
In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Cameron arrived at [[Vertress City]] to compete in the [[Vertress Conference]] and set up his tent close to the hotel for the competitors, to make sure he wouldn't be too late to sign in. When Ash, {{ashfr}}, {{an|Bianca}}, [[Stephan]], and [[Virgil]] walked past his tent and met up with him, he heard from the announcement that the time period for registration has ended. Ash hurried with him to the registration counter, where Nurse Joy made an exception for them. In the first round, he battled with his Ferrothorn against [[Kendrick]] and his {{p|Eelektross}}. The battle ended in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', and he won, allowing him to move on to the next round.

In the same episode, it was revealed Cameron would face Bianca during the second round, in a two-on-two battle. Cameron started with his Samurott against Bianca's {{p|Escavalier}}. The Cavalry Pokémon was defeated rather quickly, after which Bianca sent out, much to everyone's shock, her Emboar. After withstanding super effective {{m|Aqua Jet}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, however, Emboar used {{m|Attract}} on Samurott, causing it to become infatuated and soon defeated. Next Cameron chose to use Riolu, which Bianca thought to be very cute. Despite the notable size difference, Riolu was able to defeat the Mega Fire Pig Pokémon, causing Bianca to be eliminated from the Conference.

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', it was revealed he would battle Ash in the quarter-finals. The battle started at the end of the episode and was continued in ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]''. Despite accidentally handicapping himself by bringing five Pokémon instead of six (having mistakenly thought that a [[Full Battle]] was five-on-five), Cameron had a good start, with his {{p|Hydreigon}} taking out two of Ash's Pokémon. However, Ash used his {{AP|Pignite}} to defeat Hydreigon as well as Ferrothorn, eventually Ash defeated all of Cameron's Pokémon except Riolu. At the end of the episode, while battling [[Ash's Snivy]], Cameron's Riolu [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}. The battle continued in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', where Lucario managed to first defeat Snivy, and later also {{AP|Pikachu}}, eliminating Ash from the Conference. In the next round, Cameron battled against Virgil but lost, placing him in the top four. Later, after the closing ceremonies, Cameron bid farewell to Ash and {{ashfr}} before going on his own way.

Cameron made cameo appearances in the ending [[Let's Join Hands]] and in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

===Character===
[[File:Cameron and Ash.png|thumb|left|250px|Cameron and Ash]]
Cameron is an energetic boy who likes to move at a fast pace. Like {{an|Barry}}, another of Ash's rivals, Cameron does not like to sit still and is always eager to train. Unfortunately, Cameron is notoriously bad at remembering things, knowing things properly, keeping track of time and numbers. For instance, in his debut episode, he wanted to compete in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup, but he arrived on the closing day of the tournament instead of the opening day. He was also late to register for the Vertress Conference, but luckily he was able to sign up anyway.

Cameron's mistakes with timing pale in comparison to his mistakes with numbers though. He originally thought that the number of Badges needed to qualify for the League was seven, and if Ash had not told him otherwise, he would likely have not been able to participate. Later, during the League Conference, he mistakenly thought that and the number of Pokémon used in a [[Full Battle]] was five, and so he only registered five Pokémon and brought them with him in the Vertress Conference. Due to this misunderstanding, he had to face {{Ash}} in a full battle one Pokémon short, but he emerged victorious despite it. He was shown to have good battling skills at other times too, such as during his battle with [[Marlon]] which won him the {{badge|Wave}}.

Cameron also seems to either like taking risks even when unnecessary or has trouble remembering type match-ups. This was shown in his battle with Ash, where he sends out {{p|Ferrothorn}} against {{AP|Pignite}}, despite its weakness to both of Pignite's types (especially Fire, which it has a double weakness to), and where he later sends out {{p|Swanna}} against {{AP|Pikachu}}, despite its double weakness to Electric-type moves.

Ferrothorn's next appearance was in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'' where it was used to battle [[Kendrick]]'s {{p|Eelektross}} during the first round of the [[Vertress Conference]]. It finally won in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', after firing a Pin Missile into Eelektross's mouth. In the [[BW105|next episode]], Ferrothorn was seen defeating an {{p|Amoonguss}} and winning Cameron's third round battle.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', it was sent out to battle [[Ash's Pignite]], but was quickly defeated.

In ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution]]'', the score board showed that it had lost to [[Virgil]].

During the battle, Samurott was proven to be very fast underwater and powerful as she was able to dodge all of Mantine's moves and also used her seamitar to counter Mantine's {{m|Bullet Seed}} barrage and defeat it using a powerful slash of her {{m|Razor Shell}}, winning her trainer the {{badge|Wave}}.

In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Samurott battled Bianca's Escavalier, and although {{m|Iron Defense}} initially posed a problem, she overcame it with an internal shockwave caused by Razor Shell, defeating it. She proceeded to battle Bianca's Emboar, and despite the type advantage, she was defeated after Emboar managed to successfully hit her with {{m|Attract}} and finish her off with a powerful swing of his {{m|Hammer Arm}}.

Samurott was used to battle Ash in ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]''. She first faced {{AP|Pignite}}, who stood no chance against her, and was easily defeated with a supereffective Hydro Cannon and Aqua Jet combo. However, Ash's next Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, was too fast for Samurott, and she was finally taken down by an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack.

In ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution]]'', the score board showed that she had lost to [[Virgil]].

Despite its strength and having won two previous battles, Hydreigon eventually fell to Ash's Pignite's super-effective attacks of {{m|Brick Break}}.

==Blurb==

Ash has reached Fennel Valley at last, where he plans to challenge Brandon to an official battle—but Brandon won't be back until tomorrow! Instead, our hero is welcomed by an enthusiastic Nurse Joy. This Nurse Joy loves Pokémon battles and Contests, and she even offers to help Ash train. Her Chansey may look sweet, but once its nurse's hat comes off, so do the gloves! Chansey quickly outpowers Ash's Corphish, teaching Ash a lesson about battle strategy that doesn't make him too happy.

Later, Ash goes out to visit Brandon, who is still busy searching for a very rare Pokémon. Brandon tells Ash that he intends to use Registeel in their official battle, so Ash decides to call in some help from back home. When the battle starts the next day, Ash unveils his secret weapon: his old friend Torkoal!

Ash intends to counter Brandon's Registeel with Torkoal's Fire-type advantage and its latest move, Heat Wave! However, it takes more than just a new move to stop Brandon's Registeel. Even though Ash uses his usual creative strategies, Brandon's Registeel wins the day with its devastating Zap Cannon attacks and the Lock-On move that makes sure it doesn't miss! Refusing to give up, Ash promises to battle Brandon again. But after two losses to the Pyramid King, can he figure out a winning strategy and complete this final Battle Frontier challenge?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally arrived at [[Fennel Valley]], the new location of the [[Battle Pyramid]]. Ash is psyched up for his battle against {{an|Brandon}} and determined to be crowned the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

As they approach the Battle Pyramid, they find [[Scott]] waiting for them with [[Nurse Joy]]. Joy is excited to see Ash and runs up to him like a crazed fan, asking him to sign the photo album she has containing pictures from all his major battles. Scott explains that Nurse Joy is a huge fan of [[Pokémon battle]]s and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, as she gets out another album dedicated to {{an|May}} which she asks her to sign. {{an|Brock}} is slightly annoyed at this and tries to get Nurse Joy's attention but is pulled away by [[Max]].

Scott explains to Ash that Brandon is currently busy at the ruins and can't battle yet, leaving Ash disappointed. Nurse Joy says that her [[Pokémon Center]] is nearby and they can all go there to rest before Brandon gets back. When they get there, Nurse Joy shows the gang around all the facilities that the Pokémon Center has, including an exercise room, a Contest Hall, hot springs, as well as a battlefield.

In preparation for his official battle with Brandon, Ash asks May to battle him as a warm-up. However, May is desperate to try out the hot springs so Nurse Joy offers to battle him instead. Nurse Joy removes her Nurse's hat which causes her to have a change in persona. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, who are exhausted from following Ash and his friends, are now arguing about which way they should have gone. {{MTR}} hears something and they crouch behind a bush to see Ash and Joy squaring off for their battle. As Brock says that he'll act as the referee, {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} removes her nurse's hat, causing her to have a similar change in persona to Joy.

May comments on how differently the two of them are acting as Ash sends out {{AP|Corphish}}. Ash tells Corphish to use {{m|Crabhammer}} and the attack hits Chansey on the head, but Max notices that it doesn't seem to have had much effect. Joy has Chansey use {{m|Double Slap}}, and the attack hits and causes much more damage than Corphish's attack did. As Joy is enjoying the thrill of battle, Ash tells Corphish to use {{m|Vise Grip}}, but Joy counters by having Chansey use {{m|Dynamic Punch}}. The attack knocks Corphish back and Ash tells him to use {{m|Bubble Beam}}, but Chansey stands her ground. Joy has Chansey use {{m|Double-Edge}} and she slams into Corphish, knocking him to the ground. Corphish hangs in there and Ash has him use Crabhammer again, and Joy has Chansey charge up a {{m|Solar Beam}}. Corphish manages to land multiple Crabhammers but Chansey fires the attack, which sends Corphish flying and [[fainting|knocks him out]].

Joy makes a sort of victory speech before she and Chansey return each other's Nurse hats, removing their battle personas, and rushing off with Corphish on a stretcher. As the gang comment on how different this Nurse Joy is from all the others, {{TRT}} decide to steal Chansey with Meowth having another one of his [[Boss fantasy|wild fantasies]] of how they will impress {{an|Giovanni}}.

Back at the Pokémon Center, May and Max are wondering what Ash will do in his battle with Brandon after mentioning how he lost to him last time. May says that his battle with Chansey proves that you can't match power with power. As Brock says he needs to try to turn this defeat into something positive, Nurse Joy comes out and says Corphish will be fine by tomorrow.

Just then, Chansey spots what looks like a {{p|Blissey}}, but is actually {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]]. Chansey goes to investigate and is attacked by Team Rocket who tie her up and run off. As they make their getaway, they wonder why Chansey doesn't fight back. As they continue to run, the wind knocks her Nurse's hat off which lands on Jessie's head, reviving Chansey's battle persona and she breaks free. Nurse Joy and the gang arrive and Joy tells Chansey to use Solar Beam, and the attack sends Team Rocket blasting off. The Nurse's hat falls off Jessie's head, and it lands on Chansey's head, calming her.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Brock is grooming Chansey whilst Nurse Joy watches. In the background, May comments that Ash and Brock are working really hard to achieve their dreams but she doesn't know what to do next. Inside the Fennel Valley ruins, Brandon is staring at an ancient tablet and is trying to figure out how to unlock its secret. Just as he realizes what to do Ash runs up to him. Ash is curious as to how his search is going and Brandon shows him by rearranging the symbols on the tablet to unlock a riddle that will guide him to the sealed chamber, and the location of a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Brandon says he will leave after he and Ash have had their battle, but reminds him not to get carried away as this is what allowed the [[King of Pokélantis]] to possess him in their [[AG178|last battle]]. Brandon asks Ash if he wants to know what Pokémon he will be using in their battle, and Ash says he does want to know. Brandon says he will be using his {{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Registeel}}.

At the video phone in the Pokémon Center, Ash is talking to {{an|Professor Oak}} about his upcoming battle and what Pokémon he should use. As Registeel is a {{type|Steel}} Brock says that any {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ground}}, or {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon would be a good choice. Ash makes his choice and he transfers {{AP|Aipom}} to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Professor Oak tells him that the Pokémon he has chosen has learned a new [[move]] recently so it will be good to try out that move in battle. As Ash prepares for his battle, Aipom is confused when she is released from her {{i|Poké Ball}} and promptly attacks the Professor.

Just before the battle, Ash is revealed to have been doing some last-minute training with his chosen Pokémon in order to try out its new move. Now inside the Battle Pyramid, the two Trainers face off. The referee says that it will be a one-on-one battle. Brandon sends out his Registeel and Ash sends out his {{AP|Torkoal}}. Max remarks how Ash has the type advantage and Scott says how Ash is playing it by the book.
[[File:Ash Torkoal vs Brandon Registeel.png|thumb|left|220px|Torkoal battling Registeel]]
The referee starts the match with Ash telling Torkoal to start with {{m|Flamethrower}}. The attack hits its mark and Brandon has his Registeel counter with {{m|Metal Claw}}. Ash tells Torkoal to dodge and use {{m|Body Slam}} which it does, knocking Registeel over. Ash compliments Torkoal and Scott remarks how well Ash is doing. Brandon tells Registeel to use {{m|Zap Cannon}} and Ash counters with Flamethrower. The two attacks collide creating an explosion. Brandon has Registeel use {{m|Lock-On}} and then Zap Cannon as Ash tells Torkoal to use {{m|Iron Defense}}. The attack hits and manages to {{status|paralysis|paralyze}} Torkoal but the damage is reduced due to Iron Defense. Ash has Torkoal use Body Slam and Registeel tries to counter with Metal Claw. However, before it can attack the paralyzing sparks on Torkoal spread to Registeel and immobilize Registeel and the attack fails. Brandon compliments Ash on his strategy but says he is overconfident and then orders Registeel to throw Torkoal. It does so, but Ash counters by having Torkoal use the wall to redirect another Body Slam.

Brandon says he is impressed but now wants Ash to throw everything at him. Ash tells Torkoal to use {{m|Heat Wave}}, the new attack that it learned at Professor Oak's Lab. Brandon has Registeel break free from the attack and Ash has Torkoal send another Flamethrower at it. Brandon tells Registeel to use {{m|Sandstorm}} which blocks the attack and traps Torkoal in the vortex. Brandon has Registeel use another Sandstorm but Ash orders Torkoal to counter with Heat Wave. Pushing the Sandstorm back, Torkoal manages to trap Registeel. Registeel uses another Zap Cannon but Torkoal dodges it and, under Ash's command, uses the power of the Sandstorm to strengthen its Body Slam. The attack hits but Registeel holds on and uses Lock-On followed by another Zap Cannon. The vortex charges up the attack and the resulting explosion destroys the blazing Sandstorm. The smoke clears and both Torkoal and Registeel are still standing. But Torkoal falls down and Ash loses again.

Brandon says that he fought well and he will be ready once Ash and his Pokémon learn to fight as one. Outside, Brandon is about to set off to find the sealed chamber and the special Pokémon that he has been searching for. He says Ash can challenge him again when he returns. With that, Brandon leaves as Ash prepares to train for [[AG189|his rematch]] with him.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, Scott asks Brandon if he is leaving to go after the {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, and Brandon responds that he will definitely catch it. Upon hearing this, Max wonders what Ice-type Pokémon he's going after. In the English dub, there is no clear foreshadowing of his {{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regice}}, as Scott says he hopes Brandon finds the Pokémon he has been looking for, and Max wonders what Pokémon he is going after.

==Blurb==

Ash has finally arrived in Driftveil City for his next Gym battle. However, when they meet Gym Leader Clay, he informs our heroes that he’s too busy at the moment, so Ash and friends decide to hang out until he’s ready. They meet a friendly motorcycle rider named Charles, who offers to show our heroes around town, starting with the famous Driftveil Market. Everyone there knows Charles and his Accelgor, and our heroes are treated to lots of delicious food!

When a thief targets one of the market’s shopkeepers, Ash tries to stop him, but is interrupted by the sudden arrival of a masked hero: The Mighty Accelguard! What Ash and the others don’t know—yet—is that The Mighty Accelguard is actually their new friend Charles in disguise. Charles and his Accelgor try to go after the thief, but when his motorcycle runs out of gas, it’s up to his friend Linda and her powerful Timburr to catch the crook!

Linda knows all about Charles’s secret identity, and isn’t too impressed—but Ash thinks The Mighty Accelguard is the coolest, and really wants a chance to meet his awesome Accelgor in person. Charles hints to Ash that he might want to stop by the warehouse district that evening...

It seems there’s been a rash of break-ins around the warehouse district recently, and Charles and Linda have both noticed a suspicious truck in the area. Linda goes to investigate and is confronted by the nefarious Team Vanillite, whose plan is to steal all the frozen food from the cold storage warehouses and give it to hungry wild Pokémon, thus gaining their loyalty and using their power to take over the whole Unova region!

It looks like Linda is in a bad spot—but once again it’s The Mighty Accelguard to the rescue, this time with our heroes helping out! Together, they manage to defeat Team Vanillite and drive them away, securing The Mighty Accelguard’s title as the hero of Driftveil City!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Driftveil City]], so they head directly for the [[Driftveil Gym]]. However, [[Clay]] the [[Gym Leader]] declines Ash’s challenge as he has to search for a vein in the underground. Ash doesn't know what Clay is talking about and because of that, Clay says that he would be wasting his time battling Ash. Clay walks away from them. Ash shows some frustration, while {{an|Iris}} criticizes Clay for being rude. {{an|Cilan}} suggests they checkout the Driftveil markets instead. Local {{tc|Biker}} [[Charles]] and his partner {{p|Accelgor}} ride a motorcycle up to them, and agrees to get them to the market. Iris walks up to a fruit stand, and the man in charge hands her an apple to give to her {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Iris looks puzzled, but he explains that since she is a friend of Charles', that she may have an apple for free. The man calls out to Charles asking how he has been doing, and several other people also ask him. Suddenly a {{p|Ducklett}} with sunglasses steals a basket of fruit from a stall and runs off with it. Ash, Cilan, Iris, and Charles go after the Ducklett.

While chasing Ducklett through an alleyway, Ducklett attacks Ash with {{m|Scald}} and {{status|Burn|burns}} him with it. Ducklett's Trainer drives up and tries to get away. The heroes of Driftveil, the Mighty Accelguard and Accelgor, appear atop a building. They try a flip kick on the thieves, but they fail miserably and hit the ground hard. Accelgor gets up and uses both {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Double Team}} to surround and stop the thief from driving away. Accelguard tries to start his motorcycle to go after the thief, but his motorcycle has run out of gas. The thief tries to drive off, but a {{p|Timburr}} uses its log to preventing his escape. {{OBP|Linda|BW057}} shows up and scolds Charles for messing it up. [[Officer Jenny]] arrives to arrest the thief and thanks Linda for her help. After changing out of his Accelguard outfit, Charles returns unnoticed at first. Linda explains to everyone that she has been the one stopping the bad guys and not getting into trouble nor messing up like Accelguard has. Linda questions Charles about the similarities between him and Accelguard, how he only appears before and after something happens, and how he also has an Accelgor just like Accelguard. Charles passes it off as just a coincidence. While Linda walks away, a truck with a {{p|Vanillite}} label passes by, and Linda and Charles both take notice of it.

The truck arrives at the Cold Storage where [[Dr. Ferrara's henchmen|two men]] in Vanillite suits perform a secret routine before informing their boss [[Dr. Ferrara]] they have seized more frozen goods. Dr. Ferrara is impressed, remarking that they are close to achieving their aim – controlling the supply of frozen good in [[Unova]]. Later, Charles drops the group off at the [[Pokémon Center]]. Iris and the others thanks Charles for showing them around, and Ash remarks that he hopes to meet Accelguard again. He turns to Charles’s Accelgor and asks if it is friends with Accelguard’s Accelgor, and it adamantly shakes its head to say no. Charles tells Ash that if he wants to meet the real Accelgor, that he should head to the [[Cold Storage]] Warehouse later on. Meanwhile, on [[Milos Island]], {{TRT}} examines the {{p|Tornadus}}'s shrine monument and notice a Lightning pillar attached to it.

Later, Linda analyses the recent truck deliveries in and out of the Cold Storage area on her computer. She goes to the Cold Storage building to check for herself what is really going on, is noticed by the bad guys. Linda calls out Timburr who uses {{m|Focus Punch}}, but the Vanillite uses {{m|Blizzard}} to freeze it. Ferrara ties up Linda with sticky threads of some sort. Meanwhile, Ash is determined to meet Accelguard again, and following on Charles’s earlier advice he heads down to the warehouse district. There, they encounter Charles again, who is concerned for Linda. He suggests they check out her office, and after checking her computer he realizes that she must have gone after the suspicious Vanillite labelled truck.

Meanwhile, Linda asks Dr. Ferrara what he is up to, and he explains that they are going around stealing frozen goods, to be able to take over the Unova, and trying to trick the ice Pokémon into joining their side, Team Vanillite, by bribing them with food. Everyone else arrives to confront the bad guys. Vanillite freezes the floor with {{m|Ice Beam}} which causes Charles to slip and slide. Ash calls out {{AP|Tepig}} to dry up the floor. Ash gets ready to battle, but {{AP|Oshawott}} pops out, slips, runs into Ferrara and breaks the control. Oshawott is ecstatic about that. Team Vanillite use a smokescreen device to get away as Charles unties Linda.

Linda demands Charles change into his Accelguard outfit, causing everyone, and while Ash is slow on the uptake, to realize that Charles and Accelguard are the same person. Charles quickly transforms into his superhero alter-ego and goes after Team Vanillite on his motorcycle. He cuts them off right in front of their truck before performing his hero poses. Linda, with her group in her red truck, soon pulls up and confront Team Vanillite. When Ash accidentally addresses Accelguard as "Charles", Dr. Ferrara "transforms" into Cryogonal Man and brings out a {{p|Vanillish}} instead of {{p|Cryogonal}}, which baffles everyone. Ash uses {{AP|Pikachu}} and Linda uses Timburr to battle the minions' Vanillite to take them down. The Vanillite use Blizzard to hit Timburr and Pikachu, while Timburr uses {{m|Protect}}. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Timburr uses Focus Punch to take them both down. Meanwhile, Vanillish uses {{m|Icicle Spear}} towards Accelgor, but it dodges and the attack hits Accelguard instead. Vanillish uses its most powerful attack, {{m|Sheer Cold}}, but Accelgor uses {{m|Struggle Bug}} to dodge, and {{m|Swift}} to defeat it. The Mighty Accelguard and Accelgor take down Cryogonal Man with a kick, and he finally collapses. When everyone questions why Dr. Ferrara did not own a Cryogonal, he explains that he simply found it too difficult to catch one, Iris called him a little kid for that. Accelguard thanks everyone and drives off in his motorcycle.

==Blurb==

Ash has finally arrived in Driftveil City for his next Gym battle. However, when they meet Gym Leader Clay, he informs our heroes that he’s too busy at the moment, so Ash and friends decide to hang out until he’s ready. They meet a friendly motorcycle rider named Charles, who offers to show our heroes around town, starting with the famous Driftveil Market. Everyone there knows Charles and his Accelgor, and our heroes are treated to lots of delicious food!

When a thief targets one of the market’s shopkeepers, Ash tries to stop him, but is interrupted by the sudden arrival of a masked hero: The Mighty Accelguard! What Ash and the others don’t know—yet—is that The Mighty Accelguard is actually their new friend Charles in disguise. Charles and his Accelgor try to go after the thief, but when his motorcycle runs out of gas, it’s up to his friend Linda and her powerful Timburr to catch the crook!

Linda knows all about Charles’s secret identity, and isn’t too impressed—but Ash thinks The Mighty Accelguard is the coolest, and really wants a chance to meet his awesome Accelgor in person. Charles hints to Ash that he might want to stop by the warehouse district that evening...

It seems there’s been a rash of break-ins around the warehouse district recently, and Charles and Linda have both noticed a suspicious truck in the area. Linda goes to investigate and is confronted by the nefarious Team Vanillite, whose plan is to steal all the frozen food from the cold storage warehouses and give it to hungry wild Pokémon, thus gaining their loyalty and using their power to take over the whole Unova region!

It looks like Linda is in a bad spot—but once again it’s The Mighty Accelguard to the rescue, this time with our heroes helping out! Together, they manage to defeat Team Vanillite and drive them away, securing The Mighty Accelguard’s title as the hero of Driftveil City!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Driftveil City]], so they head directly for the [[Driftveil Gym]]. However, [[Clay]] the [[Gym Leader]] declines Ash’s challenge as he has to search for a vein in the underground. Ash doesn't know what Clay is talking about and because of that, Clay says that he would be wasting his time battling Ash. Clay walks away from them. Ash shows some frustration, while {{an|Iris}} criticizes Clay for being rude. {{an|Cilan}} suggests they checkout the Driftveil markets instead. Local {{tc|Biker}} [[Charles]] and his partner {{p|Accelgor}} ride a motorcycle up to them, and agrees to get them to the market. Iris walks up to a fruit stand, and the man in charge hands her an apple to give to her {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Iris looks puzzled, but he explains that since she is a friend of Charles', that she may have an apple for free. The man calls out to Charles asking how he has been doing, and several other people also ask him. Suddenly a {{p|Ducklett}} with sunglasses steals a basket of fruit from a stall and runs off with it. Ash, Cilan, Iris, and Charles go after the Ducklett.

While chasing Ducklett through an alleyway, Ducklett attacks Ash with {{m|Scald}} and {{status|Burn|burns}} him with it. Ducklett's Trainer drives up and tries to get away. The heroes of Driftveil, the Mighty Accelguard and Accelgor, appear atop a building. They try a flip kick on the thieves, but they fail miserably and hit the ground hard. Accelgor gets up and uses both {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Double Team}} to surround and stop the thief from driving away. Accelguard tries to start his motorcycle to go after the thief, but his motorcycle has run out of gas. The thief tries to drive off, but a {{p|Timburr}} uses its log to preventing his escape. {{OBP|Linda|BW057}} shows up and scolds Charles for messing it up. [[Officer Jenny]] arrives to arrest the thief and thanks Linda for her help. After changing out of his Accelguard outfit, Charles returns unnoticed at first. Linda explains to everyone that she has been the one stopping the bad guys and not getting into trouble nor messing up like Accelguard has. Linda questions Charles about the similarities between him and Accelguard, how he only appears before and after something happens, and how he also has an Accelgor just like Accelguard. Charles passes it off as just a coincidence. While Linda walks away, a truck with a {{p|Vanillite}} label passes by, and Linda and Charles both take notice of it.

The truck arrives at the Cold Storage where [[Dr. Ferrara's henchmen|two men]] in Vanillite suits perform a secret routine before informing their boss [[Dr. Ferrara]] they have seized more frozen goods. Dr. Ferrara is impressed, remarking that they are close to achieving their aim – controlling the supply of frozen good in [[Unova]]. Later, Charles drops the group off at the [[Pokémon Center]]. Iris and the others thanks Charles for showing them around, and Ash remarks that he hopes to meet Accelguard again. He turns to Charles’s Accelgor and asks if it is friends with Accelguard’s Accelgor, and it adamantly shakes its head to say no. Charles tells Ash that if he wants to meet the real Accelgor, that he should head to the [[Cold Storage]] Warehouse later on. Meanwhile, on [[Milos Island]], {{TRT}} examines the {{p|Tornadus}}'s shrine monument and notice a Lightning pillar attached to it.

Later, Linda analyses the recent truck deliveries in and out of the Cold Storage area on her computer. She goes to the Cold Storage building to check for herself what is really going on, is noticed by the bad guys. Linda calls out Timburr who uses {{m|Focus Punch}}, but the Vanillite uses {{m|Blizzard}} to freeze it. Ferrara ties up Linda with sticky threads of some sort. Meanwhile, Ash is determined to meet Accelguard again, and following on Charles’s earlier advice he heads down to the warehouse district. There, they encounter Charles again, who is concerned for Linda. He suggests they check out her office, and after checking her computer he realizes that she must have gone after the suspicious Vanillite labelled truck.

Meanwhile, Linda asks Dr. Ferrara what he is up to, and he explains that they are going around stealing frozen goods, to be able to take over the Unova, and trying to trick the ice Pokémon into joining their side, Team Vanillite, by bribing them with food. Everyone else arrives to confront the bad guys. Vanillite freezes the floor with {{m|Ice Beam}} which causes Charles to slip and slide. Ash calls out {{AP|Tepig}} to dry up the floor. Ash gets ready to battle, but {{AP|Oshawott}} pops out, slips, runs into Ferrara and breaks the control. Oshawott is ecstatic about that. Team Vanillite use a smokescreen device to get away as Charles unties Linda.

Linda demands Charles change into his Accelguard outfit, causing everyone, and while Ash is slow on the uptake, to realize that Charles and Accelguard are the same person. Charles quickly transforms into his superhero alter-ego and goes after Team Vanillite on his motorcycle. He cuts them off right in front of their truck before performing his hero poses. Linda, with her group in her red truck, soon pulls up and confront Team Vanillite. When Ash accidentally addresses Accelguard as "Charles", Dr. Ferrara "transforms" into Cryogonal Man and brings out a {{p|Vanillish}} instead of {{p|Cryogonal}}, which baffles everyone. Ash uses {{AP|Pikachu}} and Linda uses Timburr to battle the minions' Vanillite to take them down. The Vanillite use Blizzard to hit Timburr and Pikachu, while Timburr uses {{m|Protect}}. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Timburr uses Focus Punch to take them both down. Meanwhile, Vanillish uses {{m|Icicle Spear}} towards Accelgor, but it dodges and the attack hits Accelguard instead. Vanillish uses its most powerful attack, {{m|Sheer Cold}}, but Accelgor uses {{m|Struggle Bug}} to dodge, and {{m|Swift}} to defeat it. The Mighty Accelguard and Accelgor take down Cryogonal Man with a kick, and he finally collapses. When everyone questions why Dr. Ferrara did not own a Cryogonal, he explains that he simply found it too difficult to catch one, Iris called him a little kid. Accelguard thanks everyone and drives off in his motorcycle.

'''Ursaring''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リングマ''' ''Ringuma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Teddiursa}} starting at [[level]] 30, and evolves into {{p|Ursaluna}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time-based Evolution|full moon]].

==Biology==
Ursaring is a bipedal, {{wp|bear|ursine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Despite being classified as bipedal, Ursaring can sometimes move on all fours. Its broad body is covered in brown fur, except for its muzzle, inner ears, and paw pads, which are yellow. It has narrow eyes, a triangular, black nose, and a wide mouth with small, visible fangs in the upper jaw. The fur on Ursaring's shoulders is longer and more structured, with rectangular extensions. A female Ursaring has longer fur on its shoulders than a male. There is a large, yellow, ring-shaped mark shaped like a new moon on its chest. Ursaring's forelimbs are long, ending in five claws each, while its hind legs are short and thick, ending in three claws each. Its tail is large and spherical in shape.

Ursaring lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous forests}}, sleeping in treetops and gathering food throughout the day. While it is skilled at climbing trees, it gathers food by snapping them and collecting whatever {{berries}} or fruits fall down. It will mark trees bearing delicious fruit in its territory with its claws. Ursaring is also known to regularly eat honey, which is its favorite food. Ursaring's sense of smell can distinguish any aroma, and as such, it can find food buried deep underground or in streams. It will also search for food during the winter season. As seen in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG057|Going for a Spinda]]'', Ursaring is highly protective of its cubs, and in the [[original series]] episode ''[[EP155|Forest Grumps]]'', it's shown to become more aggressive during mating season. It also becomes more ferocious when it is hungry. Ursaring are known to get into fights with {{p|Primeape}} when they encounter each other while searching for berries. When exposed to [[Peat Block|peat]] found in [[Hisui]] during a full moon, Ursaring can evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}}.

===Evolution===
Ursaring evolves from {{p|Teddiursa}}.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into {{p|Ursaluna}}.

{{main|Ursaring (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Ursaring and {{p|Donphan}}, along with their pre-evolved forms, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While {{p|Teddiursa}} and Ursaring are found only in the Japanese and Korean Silver, they are not found in Silver in other languages, being found in the Gold Version of those languages instead, with {{p|Phanpy}} and {{p|Donphan}} getting the opposite treatment. This is changed in the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where they follow the Japanese and Korean Gold and Silver.
* Ursaring, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Scyther}}'s evolutions are all programmed into [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], with the Pokémon being affected by [[Eviolite]]. However, it is impossible to trigger them in-game as they are assigned to a placeholder Evolution method with no code that can trigger it.

===Design variations===
Ursaring has been depicted with an inconsistent number of claws over time and between media. In its original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} artwork, Ursaring has four visible claws, but in its [[Generation II]] [[#Sprites|sprites]], it has three claws. From {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} to {{game|Platinum}}, it has four claws. From HeartGold and SoulSilver onwards, Ursaring consistently has five claws in its game sprites. In all 3D {{spin-off games}}, as well as in the {{pkmn|animated series}} and in corporate art, it has always been depicted with five claws.

===Origin===
Ursaring appears to be based on {{wp|bear}}s, such as the {{wp|brown bear}} and {{wp|Asian black bear}}. The latter is known in Japanese as ツキノワグマ ''tsukinowaguma'', literally "ring-of-the-moon bear". The connection between a bear and a {{wp|astronomical object|celestial body}} may also reference the {{wp|Ursa Minor}} and {{wp|Ursa Major}} constellations, Ursaring being the latter one. Ursaring's rectangular shoulder fur resemble {{wp|fringe (trim)|fringe}}s of {{wp|buckskins}} or {{wp|epaulette}}s.

====Name origin====
Ursaring may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for bear) and ''ring''.

Ringuma may be a combination of ''ring'', 輪 ''rin'' (wheel; ring), and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

Pborri: /* In the anime */

[[File:Mr. Evans.png|thumb|250px|Mr. Evans]]
'''Mr. Evans''' (Japanese: '''アキト''' ''Akito'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP177|Wings 'N' Things]]''. He also appeared in [[Ash & Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
Mr. Evans is the town's glazier and manufactures windows at his factory. He was even shown to make stained-glass windows, and was in the process of installing a circular arrangement at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. However, his business' reputation was damaged by his son, [[Zachary Evans|Zachary]], and his {{p|Yanma}}.

A few months prior, he and his son had finished making a glass delivery to another town when they stumbled upon the injured Yanma and rescued it from a rainstorm. Despite Zachary's attempt to control his Pokémon's beating wings, it continued to break his glass, the townspeople's windows, and Nurse Joy's medicine bottles. After the town baker, Mr. Strussel, who claimed his windows were broken at least three times, demanded that Yanma be released, Mr. Evans reluctantly told his son to get rid of it despite knowing how much he cared for it and hated making him do so. Reluctantly, Zachary released it.

Despite his doubts, he encouraged Zachary to battle {{TRT}} with Yanma. After Zachary saved the town from Team Rocket, Mr. Evans and the rest of the town recognized that Zachary had the potential to train Yanma, and they allowed him to keep it.

Zachary Evans

Pborri: /* Pokémon */

[[File:Zachary Evans.png|thumb|250px|Zachary]]
'''Zachary Evans''' (Japanese: '''ヒロト''' ''Hiroto'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP177|Wings 'N' Things]]''. He also appeared in [[Ash & Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met up with Zachary while on their way to [[Ecruteak City]]. When they met him, he was in the middle of some problems: his {{p|Yanma}} would always break the glass of his dad's factory, the windows of the town where he lives and Nurse Joy's medicine bottles at the local [[Pokémon Center]], by beating its wings. The town was furious by the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon's actions, and [[Mr. Evans]] reluctantly made his son get rid of it. Zachary became upset, remembering that he found it one day during a storm. He released it, but after realizing what he had done, he ran off to find it.

Unfortunately, {{TRT}} found it first, and were using it to break windows. Seeing Yanma with them, the town assumed that Zachary was with them. But he proved them wrong by defeating the trio with his Yanma. The town forgave Zachary, who successfully trained Yanma not to break store windows. Everything then went back to normal.

|desc={{p|Yanma}} was found injured in the rain by Zachary, when he and his father were walking home. They took it home and nursed it back to health, but when it got better, Yanma became a problem. It couldn't control the sonic aspect of its wings and broke all of the Mr Evan's glass, and nearly every window in the town, angering the villagers. It also broke all of Nurse Joy's medicine bottles. Mr. Evans, out of options and time, told Zachary he had to return it to the wild, and Zachary had no choice but to agree. He left food in the woods for Yanma to distract it, and Zachary ran off, leaving Yanma behind.

Yanma was then found by Ash and his friends. It stole Ash's hat, but once Ash got his hat back, it flew off. Yanma then tried to look for Zachary when {{TRT}} suddenly found it and trapped it with the intention of using it in one of their evil schemes. They shattered all of the windows in Zachary's hometown and then created their own window company at the same time, profiting immensely off the destruction they caused.

They were about to repeat this scheme when Ash, his friends, and some townspeople spotted them. Team Rocket threatened to smash the stain glass window in the [[Pokémon Center]], so Ash and {{an|Misty}} could not battle them. Zachary then decided to return Yanma back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}, which worked. Ash and Misty's Pokémon were hurt in the resulting battle, so Zachary used his Yanma in its first battle ever, sending Team Rocket blasting off. In the end, Yanma was able to control its wings during a Sonic Boom attack.

Yanma's known moves are {{m|Sonic Boom}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

Zachary Evans

[[File:Zachary Evans.png|thumb|250px|Zachary]]
'''Zachary Evans''' (Japanese: '''ヒロト''' ''Hiroto'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP177|Wings 'N' Things]]''. He also appeared in [[Ash & Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met up with Zachary while on their way to [[Ecruteak City]]. When they met him, he was in the middle of some problems: his {{p|Yanma}} would always break the glass of his dad's factory, the windows of the town where he lives and Nurse Joy's medicine bottles at the local [[Pokémon Center]], by beating its wings. The town was furious by the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon's actions, and [[Mr. Evans]] reluctantly made his son get rid of it. Zachary became upset, remembering that he found it one day during a storm. He released it, but after realizing what he had done, he ran off to find it.

Unfortunately, {{TRT}} found it first, and were using it to break windows. Seeing Yanma with them, the town assumed that Zachary was with them. But he proved them wrong by defeating the trio with his Yanma. The town forgave Zachary, who successfully trained Yanma not to break store windows. Everything then went back to normal.

|desc={{p|Yanma}} was found injured in the rain by Zachary, when he and his father were walking home. They took it home and nursed it back to health, but when it got better, Yanma became a problem. It couldn't control the sonic aspect of its wings and broke nearly every window in the town, angering the villagers. It also broke all of Nurse Joy's medicine bottles. Mr. Evans, out of options and time, told Zachary he had to return it to the wild, and Zachary had no choice but to agree. He left food in the woods for Yanma to distract it, and Zachary ran off, leaving Yanma behind.

Yanma was then found by Ash and his friends. It stole Ash's hat, but once Ash got his hat back, it flew off. Yanma then tried to look for Zachary when {{TRT}} suddenly found it and trapped it with the intention of using it in one of their evil schemes. They shattered all of the windows in Zachary's hometown and then created their own window company at the same time, profiting immensely off the destruction they caused.

They were about to repeat this scheme when Ash, his friends, and some townspeople spotted them. Team Rocket threatened to smash the stain glass window in the [[Pokémon Center]], so Ash and {{an|Misty}} could not battle them. Zachary then decided to return Yanma back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}, which worked. Ash and Misty's Pokémon were hurt in the resulting battle, so Zachary used his Yanma in its first battle ever, sending Team Rocket blasting off. In the end, Yanma was able to control its wings during a Sonic Boom attack.

Yanma's known moves are {{m|Sonic Boom}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

Mr. Evans

Pborri: /* In the anime */

[[File:Mr. Evans.png|thumb|250px|Mr. Evans]]
'''Mr. Evans''' (Japanese: '''アキト''' ''Akito'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP177|Wings 'N' Things]]''. He also appeared in [[Ash & Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
Mr. Evans is the town's glazier and manufactures windows at his factory. He was even shown to make stained-glass windows, and was in the process of installing a circular arrangement at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. However, his business' reputation was damaged by his son, [[Zachary Evans|Zachary]], and his {{p|Yanma}}.

A few months prior, he and his son had finished making a glass delivery to another town when they stumbled upon the injured Yanma and rescued it from a rainstorm. Despite Zachary's attempt to control his Pokémon's beating wings, it continued to break his glass and the townspeople's windows, and Nurse Joy's medicine bottles. After the town baker, Mr. Strussel, who claimed his windows were broken at least three times, demanded that Yanma be released, Mr. Evans reluctantly told his son to get rid of it despite knowing how much he cared for it and hated making him do so. Reluctantly, Zachary released it.

Despite his doubts, he encouraged Zachary to battle {{TRT}} with Yanma. After Zachary saved the town from Team Rocket, Mr. Evans and the rest of the town recognized that Zachary had the potential to train Yanma, and they allowed him to keep it.

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends have returned to Hearthome City for Ash's Gym Battle, but Gym Leader Fantina is still out of town. Instead, Pokémon Stylist Paris invites Dawn and Ash to enter the Hearthome Collection fashion show, where people and Pokémon show off their best looks. The winner will be part of a Pokémon Chic Campaign photo shoot! Jessie decides to enter with James as her personal designer. Whoever enters, they'll be up against Lady Cocoa, a famous celebrity and fashion muse!

Brock has no trouble whipping up outfits for Ash and Pikachu, but Dawn can't figure out what to make for herself and Buneary. Then she remembers Hermione, a strange woman she met earlier, and realizes that Hermione's comments are the key. Inspired, Dawn gets back to work...

The next day, Mayor Enta introduces the Hearthome Collection and its judges, Paris and Hermione. As it turns out, Hermione is Pokémon Chic's editor-in-chief and a formidable judge; she's not entirely pleased by Ash and Pikachu's funny fashion idea. Jessie and Wobbuffet are no better; Jessie decided to add extra color to James' fine designs, and Brock ends up consoling a brokenhearted James. Then it's Cocoa and her Mismagius, showing off a dazzling dress that stuns the crowd, followed by Dawn and Buneary in simple snow-themed outfits. The finalists are Ash, Cocoa, and Dawn!

Jessie is outraged at the results so she crashes the finals with the rest of Team Rocket in tow. Paris's Lopunny teams up with Dawn's Buneary to put Jessie's fashion dreams on ice for good, and the Collection can continue. Ash wins an award for being unique, Cocoa wins the Accessory Award, and Dawn is the grand winner because she remembered to show off her Buneary, not her dress.

However, she turns down the Pokémon Chic campaign in order to focus on her Coordinator training--the Celestic Town Contest is her next destination!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} return to [[Hearthome City]] for Ash's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, only to learn that the [[Fantina|Hearthome Gym Leader]] is [[DP049|still away]]. A limousine pulls up, and a woman and her {{p|Lopunny}} step out after recognizing Ash as the winner of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. {{an|Dawn}} immediately recognizes her as [[Paris]], a famous [[Pokémon Stylist]]. Brock begins to flirt with Paris telling her that he was at the Tag Battle Contest too, but she doesn't appear to know it, much to his disappointment. Upon seeing [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], Paris suggests they enter the [[Hearthome Collection]], a famous fashion show for Pokémon Stylists, for the experience. [[Jessie]] is also excited by the prospect, and [[James]]'s designer eye she hopes to win the competition.

While, Ash and Dawn register at the local [[Pokémon Center]], a tall, blonde woman causes quite a stir. Another Hearthome Collection hopeful informs Dawn that the woman is [[Cocoa]], a famous celebrity who adores boutique fashion. Buneary approaches Cocoa, only to be scolded at for coming near her. Dawn feels hurt and confused by the ladies coldness. A fellow designer, [[Hermione]], remarks that PokéStylists and [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s are all the same before walking off.

That night, Brock finishes making Ash's outfit while Dawn struggles to settle on an idea for the competition. Dawn remembers [[Hermione]]’s earlier criticism followed by the advice [[Zoey]] gave to her [[DP061|after]] the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}; that Pokémon Contests are not about the Trainer, it's the Pokémon that everybody is going to be looking at. Dawn gets inspiration and begins to design an outfit.

The next day, Haerthome City Mayor {{an|Enta}} welcomes the crowd and PokéStylists to the Hearthome Collection event. Judging the show will be Paris and Hermione, {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}}'s editor-in-chief and Paris's teacher. As the competition gets underway, Hermione is displeased and blames Paris for popularising Pokémon Fashion for the bedazzled and garish entries so far. Entry 18, Ash and Pikachu enter the stage wearing matching colored wigs and striped loincloths. Pikachu springs onto stage to play a drum with his {{m|Iron Tail}} and amazing the crowd with a shower of {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The judges praise Ash's originality and creativity. Jessie, disguised as Jessilina, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} are next. However Jessie's bright and makeup heavy additions to James’s carefully crafted look for Wobbuffet don’t go over well with the judges. Brock praises James for his [[accessory]] designs, much to James's joy. Cocoa goes with her {{p|Mismagius}} next. Mismagius floats out onto the stage, its dress unraveling around it while its {{m|Psywave}} adds a technicolor effect, creating a beautiful sight. Number 21 and last of all is Dawn. Dawn and Buneary are both dressed in beautiful but simple white dresses and matching necklaces. Buneary performs tricks with {{m|Ice Beam}} for a delightful performance and is given much praise.

The final three are announced as Ash, Dawn and Cocoa. They are told there are going to be three awards, one for the overall winner, one for best costume and one for most originality. Just then, {{TRT}} attacks since Jessie has lost, hoping to steal the Pokémon. Paris's Lopunny uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to cause Team Rocket's mecha to malfunction. Then Lopunny and Buneary launch a combined {{m|Bounce}} attack which destroys the mecha and send Team Rocket blasting off. Enta resumes the awards ceremony, presenting Ash and Pikachu with the most originality prize. Dawn is announced as the winner of the Hearthome Collection for her performance. Cocoa protests and demands that she should have won, but Hermione explains she will only receive the accessory award as it was the feature that stood out most. Paris and Hermione commend Dawn for her simple performance that helped show off Buneary’s personality. Paris commends Brock for making the dresses. After Dawn and Buneary pose with their tiaras, Hermione asks if they can begin their Poké Chic collection immediately. Dawn replies that she is a Coordinator at heart and still has plenty of work ahead of her. At that, Hermione wishes her all the best.

==Blurb==

The team is on Camomile Island, en route to May's next Pokémon Contest on Chrysanthemum Island. Everyone lets their Pokémon out to have some fun. When Ash's Donphan tries to play with some young Rhyhorn, its intentions are misunderstood and soon Ash and his friends are running from a Rhyhorn stampede! Nurse Joy and her Meganium come to the rescue, except Grovyle then picks a fight with a Tropius and Meganium has to calm things down once more.

Team Rocket wants Meowth to recruit Tropius, and Tropius agrees—if Meganium comes along. Tropius is in love with Meganium, but so is Grovyle, and it's not happy about losing. So when Team Rocket attacks the Pokémon Center and steals Meganium, Grovyle has already left for a rematch with Tropius. Love powers Grovyle to victory but when Team Rocket returns, Meganium only has eyes for Tropius. Poor Grovyle is devastated.

Ash and his friends arrive on the scene, and even Team Rocket has to help explain Grovyle's romantic woes to Ash. Team Rocket then kidnaps Tropius too, and Grovyle evolves into Sceptile to stop them. However, Sceptile's moves are all a bust! Pikachu comes to the rescue, and Tropius and Meganium combine to defeat Team Rocket. The two Pokémon are clearly a couple, but it looks like Sceptile may not recover from its broken heart!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are on their way to [[Chrysanthemum Island]] so {{an|May}} can enter the [[Pokémon Contest]] for her elusive third [[Ribbon]]. However, they find there is no direct ferry service, so they head to [[Camomile Island]] to get on the connecting ship. They find the island full of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} roaming the plains, so Ash, May, and {{an|Brock}} bring out their Pokémon.

A green ball of grass bounces to {{AP|Donphan}} as a bunch of baby {{p|Rhyhorn}} approach. Overjoyed, Donphan picks up the ball and rushes to play with the Rhyhorn, but they flee in fear and bigger Rhyhorn step up to defend the young. Donphan drops the ball and runs back to Ash and the group, who notice the {{wp|stampede}} and also run away. [[Nurse Joy]] pulls up in a Jeep and sends out her {{p|Meganium}}, which uses {{m|Growl}} to calm the Rhyhorn. May checks her [[Pokédex]] on Meganium, but Brock checks out Nurse Joy until [[Max]] pulls him back. After the group checks their Pokémon, Ash notices that {{AP|Grovyle}} is missing. {{AP|Pikachu}} points to it being near a tree and facing off against a {{p|Tropius}}, which Ash checks his Pokédex. Joy says that Tropius is protecting the tree as its territory.

Grovyle charges, but Tropius swats Grovyle away with {{m|Steel Wing}} before using {{m|Gust}} to pin Grovyle down, following up with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Joy calls Meganium to stop Tropius with Razor Leaf, which ends Tropius's hostility. Nurse Joy points out that this has happened before and Tropius will not attack Meganium. With Grovyle critically hurt from the attack, the group heads back to the [[Pokémon Center]]. {{TRT}} watches nearby, wanting to steal Tropius as a present for {{an|Giovanni}}. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] decide to let {{MTR}} talk to Tropius and coerce it to come along. As Tropius eats fruit off the tree, Meowth approaches with a megaphone. Meowth asks Tropius about what it wants. Meowth tells Jessie and James that Tropius is attracted to Meganium. Remembering that Meganium has healing powers, Team Rocket decide to take it as well.

At the center, Meganium uses its powers to heal Grovyle, who wakes up and becomes instantly attracted to Meganium, the twig in its mouth sprouting a flower. Brock says that Grovyle is embarrassed because it lost to Tropius, but Ash is indifferent to the attraction. The group leaves the room to let Grovyle rest, but Grovyle is already up. Team Rocket approach the center in a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], using a mechanical arm to crash through and take Meganium. Nurse Joy alerts the group as Team Rocket recites their {{motto}}. {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} constantly interrupts Meowth throughout the motto, making him angry. Team Rocket leaves with Meganium as Ash and his friends follow. Grovyle decides to go back to the tree to face off with Tropius once again.

The wind blows as Grovyle and Tropius face off. Tropius uses Gust once again, stalling Grovyle. It charges with Steel Wing and uses Razor Leaf to knock Grovyle down before attacking again with Razor Leaf. Grovyle blocks the attack, notices the flower in its mouth, and remembers Meganium. Inspired, Grovyle speeds up the tree and hits Tropius from above with {{m|Bullet Seed}} before following with {{m|Leaf Blade}}, taking Tropius down. Team Rocket and their mecha approach with Meganium in tow and set it down. Grovyle and Meganium run to each other, but Meganium keeps running to tend to Tropius. Meganium heals Tropius and the two appear to be in love with each other, breaking Grovyle's heart. The flower in its mouth wilts as Grovyle sinks to its knees, crushed.

The jeep arrives and Ash notices Grovyle on its knees. He confronts Team Rocket, thinking they did something to Grovyle, but they tell of the second battle between Grovyle and Tropius. Ash thinks Grovyle lost again, but Brock say that Grovyle won the battle but lost Meganium’s love. Ash is still oblivious to the love triangle. Meowth activates the mecha and takes both Meganium and Tropius away. Regardless of rejection, Grovyle stands back up to face Team Rocket and begins to glow, evolving into {{AP|Sceptile}}.

Ash checks his Pokédex as Sceptile rushes towards the mecha. Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, whom Meowth launches directly at Sceptile. Both Pokémon unwillingly crash into Sceptile, sending all three to the ground. Ash orders Sceptile to fire Bullet Seed at Cacnea and Seviper, but Sceptile is suddenly unable to fire any seeds. Ash orders Leaf Blade, but the attack also fails to function. Seizing their opportunity, Team Rocket order Seviper and Cacnea to attack with {{m|Poison Tail}} and {{m|Needle Arm}}. Sceptile is struck by both and becomes the target of the mecha's foot. Ash saves his Pokémon with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which blows out a knee and topples the mecha. Nurse Joy runs to and hugs both {{t|Grass}} Pokémon. Meowth calls the Team Rocket balloon down with a remote so they can escape, but Meganium and Tropius step forward to attack together. Meganium uses Razor Leaf and Tropius uses Gust to amplify the attack, destroying the balloon and sending Team Rocket flying.

The group notes how close the Grass Pokémon are once they decide to live together at the Pokémon Center. Ash is concerned about Sceptile's sudden inability to attack, but Joy knows that Sceptile will get over it and grow. Shortly thereafter, Ash and company board the ship to head off to May's next Contest.

==Trivia==
* [[Tomoe Hanba]] voices [[James's Mime Jr.]] in this episode because [[Ikue Ohtani|Ikue Ōtani]] was on maternity leave. Ōtani still provides the voice of [[Ash's Pikachu]], but Pikachu's voice was likely supplied by clips from the much more abundant amount of previous episodes.

* [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] background music is used in this episode.
* {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Grovyle}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, and {{p|Tropius}} are all in the {{egg3|Monster}}, meaning that the attractions expressed in this episode are consistent with [[Egg Group]]s, and that these Pokémon are able to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. Meganium and Tropius are also in the {{egg3|Grass}}.
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a pun on the idiom "odd man out".
* This is the third time that {{Ash}} and one of his [[rival]]s both have a Pokémon of the same species. The first was {{Gary}}'s {{p|Krabby}}, the second [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky|Pikachu]], and the third {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Sceptile}}.
* This episode marks the only time that a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] owned by a main character has evolved outside its native region.
* This episode marks the only time that a:
** Main's character {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon has evolved in two different regions.
** Grass-type first partner Pokémon has evolved outside its native region onscreen.
* This episode was adapted into the book [[Grovyle Trouble]].
* This episode [https://wayback.archive.org/web/20160401/http://www.pokemon.com/es/episodios-pokemon/ was skipped] in the initial rotation on the Castilian Spanish [[Pokémon TV]] on April 1, 2016. It was [https://wayback.archive.org/web/20160409/http://www.pokemon.com/es/episodios-pokemon/ later added] on April 9, 2016.

===Errors===
*When {{TRT}} gets blasted off, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} can be heard, despite not being out of his Poké Ball.

===Dub edits===
* Ash refers to Sceptile as male by saying "...''he'' won" and "''he'' lost...", which wasn't present in the Japanese version. In fact, Sceptile's [[gender]] has yet to be confirmed in the Japanese {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In the English dub, as Meowth calls Sceptile a wimp after failing moves, Jessie and James's laughter can be heard in the background. In the original Japanese version, there isn't any laughter.

Pborri: /* In the anime */Not just stores but also homes

[[File:Zachary Evans.png|thumb|250px|Zachary]]
'''Zachary Evans''' (Japanese: '''ヒロト''' ''Hiroto'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP177|Wings 'N' Things]]''. He also appeared in [[Ash & Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met up with Zachary while on their way to [[Ecruteak City]]. When they met him, he was in the middle of some problems: his {{p|Yanma}} would always break the windows of the town where he lives and Nurse Joy's medicine bottles at the local [[Pokémon Center]], by beating its wings. The town was furious by the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon's actions, and [[Mr. Evans]] reluctantly made his son get rid of it. Zachary became upset, remembering that he found it one day during a storm. He released it, but after realizing what he had done, he ran off to find it.

Unfortunately, {{TRT}} found it first, and were using it to break windows. Seeing Yanma with them, the town assumed that Zachary was with them. But he proved them wrong by defeating the trio with his Yanma. The town forgave Zachary, who successfully trained Yanma not to break store windows. Everything then went back to normal.

|desc={{p|Yanma}} was found injured in the rain by Zachary, when he and his father were walking home. They took it home and nursed it back to health, but when it got better, Yanma became a problem. It couldn't control the sonic aspect of its wings and broke nearly every window in the town, angering the villagers. It also broke all of Nurse Joy's medicine bottles. Mr. Evans, out of options and time, told Zachary he had to return it to the wild, and Zachary had no choice but to agree. He left food in the woods for Yanma to distract it, and Zachary ran off, leaving Yanma behind.

Yanma was then found by Ash and his friends. It stole Ash's hat, but once Ash got his hat back, it flew off. Yanma then tried to look for Zachary when {{TRT}} suddenly found it and trapped it with the intention of using it in one of their evil schemes. They shattered all of the windows in Zachary's hometown and then created their own window company at the same time, profiting immensely off the destruction they caused.

They were about to repeat this scheme when Ash, his friends, and some townspeople spotted them. Team Rocket threatened to smash the stain glass window in the [[Pokémon Center]], so Ash and {{an|Misty}} could not battle them. Zachary then decided to return Yanma back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}, which worked. Ash and Misty's Pokémon were hurt in the resulting battle, so Zachary used his Yanma in its first battle ever, sending Team Rocket blasting off. In the end, Yanma was able to control its wings during a Sonic Boom attack.

Yanma's known moves are {{m|Sonic Boom}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

[[File:Mr. Evans.png|thumb|250px|Mr. Evans]]
'''Mr. Evans''' (Japanese: '''アキト''' ''Akito'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP177|Wings 'N' Things]]''. He also appeared in [[Ash & Pikachu]].

==In the anime==
Mr. Evans is the town's glazier and manufactures windows at his factory. He was even shown to make stained-glass windows, and was in the process of installing a circular arrangement at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. However, his business' reputation was damaged by his son, [[Zachary Evans|Zachary]], and his {{p|Yanma}}.

A few months prior, he and his son had finished making a glass delivery to another town when they stumbled upon the injured Yanma and rescued it from a rainstorm. Despite Zachary's attempt to control his Pokémon's beating wings, it continued to break the townspeople's windows, and Nurse Joy's medicine bottles. After the town baker, Mr. Strussel, who claimed his windows were broken at least three times, demanded that Yanma be released, Mr. Evans reluctantly told his son to get rid of it despite knowing how much he cared for it and hated making him do so. Reluctantly, Zachary released it.

Despite his doubts, he encouraged Zachary to battle {{TRT}} with Yanma. After Zachary saved the town from Team Rocket, Mr. Evans and the rest of the town recognized that Zachary had the potential to train Yanma, and they allowed him to keep it.

A Pokémon Fortune Telling boom turns out to be a Team Rocket plot to steal Pokémon from local trainers. The engineers of this plot, though, are not the Team Rocket regulars, but by the formidable Butch and Cassidy.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in a new city and head towards the [[Pokémon Center]]. There they encounter a group of children who tell them about the newest fad: Pokémon Fortune Telling, an activity similar to {{wp|horoscope}}s in which people are assigned a Pokémon personality type based on their birthdate. Eager to find out her Pokémon type, {{an|Misty}} drags her companions along to a local {{pkmn|Day Care}} that has been giving out copies of the Fortune Telling book. Arriving at the Day Care, the owners explain to Misty that it's considered good luck to own the Pokémon that corresponds to one's personality type. The Day Care center has a booming business in matching Trainers with their Pokémon type and frequently holds Pokémon for Trainers until a suitable [[trade]] can be made.

After getting a copy of the book, Misty reveals each of her companion's Pokémon types. Ash is listed as a {{p|Bellsprout}} type, while {{an|Brock}} is an {{p|Onix}} type. Misty eagerly looks up her own type, but is shocked to see that she's listed as a {{p|Gyarados}} type. Ash tells her that it's nothing to get worked up about, but he is unable to stop Misty's growing anger. Traveling back to the Pokémon Center, the group falls into one of {{TRT}}'s pitfall traps, but an angry Misty easily climbs out and sends them blasting off. Upon landing, Team Rocket collects themselves and notices that they've unwittingly obtained Misty's Fortune Telling book. [[Jessie]] looks at it and finds that she's an {{p|Eevee}} type. {{MTR}} tries to look himself up, but Jessie reminds him that as an actual Pokémon, his type should be glaringly obvious. She then reads [[James]]'s type, and is shocked to see that he's a {{p|Moltres}} type. Initially skeptical, a series of bizarre coincidences soon convince James that the book can actually tell his future. Taking its words that the Moltres type will "soar above the others" literally, he begins to see himself as unbeatable, and quickly appoints himself the new leader of Team Rocket. Impressed with his sudden shift in personality, Jessie and Meowth decide to follow his lead.

James leads them to the Day Care, planning on using his Moltres powers to steal every Pokémon inside. He attempts to intimidate the Day Care's owners, but is surprised when they reveal themselves to be none other than fellow members of [[Team Rocket]], [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], who quickly capture and lock up the trio. Tied up inside the Day Care, James once again surprises his companions by easily breaking out of his bonds and clearing an escape route. Leading them out of the Day Care, he begins to plan their revenge.

Meanwhile, Misty continues to stew over her Pokémon type. When she overhears Brock talking about how Gyarados suits her, she decides to return to the Day Care and demand an explanation from its owners, dragging Brock and Ash along with her. Entering the Day Care, they see that the front desk is empty and decide to look for the owners in the back rooms. There they see all of the Pokémon in cages and overhear a conversation between Butch, Cassidy, and {{an|Giovanni}}. Realizing that the entire Day Care is another Rocket scheme, the group decides to free the captured Pokémon. Unfortunately, they are quickly discovered by Butch and Cassidy, who begin to battle them with their {{p|Raticate}} and {{p|Primeape}}.

Suddenly, Jessie and Meowth appear by driving a crane through the wall. To everyone's surprise, James comes flying in on the crane, dressed in a Moltres suit. Declaring himself the "flame that burns brightest", he announces his intention to steal all of the Pokémon in the Day Care, as well as those that belong to the [[twerp]]s. He calls out {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, and this time doesn't allow it to munch on his head, instead quickly bringing it into line and unexpectedly managing to defeat Raticate with it. Unfortunately, James's ego is quickly shot down when Butch and Cassidy reveal that the Fortune Telling book was just part of their scam. Depressed that he's not actually a Moltres type, James quickly reverts back to his old self, forcing Jessie to start battling with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, which makes Cassidy and Butch laugh at the Patient Pokémon. However, Wobbuffet alone isn't enough and Primeape quickly sends Jessie, James, Meowth, and their Pokémon blasting off. Taking advantage of the battle, Ash and his friends go searching for the keys to the Pokémon cages, but are quickly cornered by Butch and Cassidy.

Butch and Cassidy begin battling, but are defeated by the combined efforts of {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, {{AP|Totodile}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}. A quick call to [[Officer Jenny]], and the two Rockets are once again arrested. While talking with Jenny, Misty notices that she has an official Pokémon Fortune Telling book, and uses the opportunity to check out her real type, which is unkown. Elsewhere, Jessie finds the same book, and decides to see what James's actually is. Upon seeing what it is, James is horrified, which is also unknown.

==Major events==

* [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] appear again.

==Trivia==
* [[Takeshi's Paradise]] replaces [[Exciting² Pokémon Relay]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* This is the second time that [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] take over a Breeding Center, with the first time occurring exactly [[EP057|100 episodes ago]].
** Coincidentally, both are the final episodes of a [[dub]] season.
* The {{pkmn|Day Care}} in this episode may be a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to the Day Care located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in the {{pkmn|games}}, as both of them are located near [[Goldenrod City]].
* This is the first time {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} see and hear {{an|Giovanni}}, as they spy on a video conversation Butch and Cassidy have with him.
* Up until the November 10, 2015 DVD release of ''Pokémon The Johto Journey: The Complete Collection'', this episode, along with ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks!]]'', wasn't released on [[List of English language The Johto Journeys home video releases (Region 1)|Region 1 VHS or DVD]] much like the lost episode ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''.
** Both the {{pmin|Portugal|European Portuguese}} and the {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}} versions of this episode and ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks]]'' were released by Salvat, the company that distributes DVD versions of the episodes in the Iberian Peninsula. Both of these episodes were also included in the Australian [[S03|season 3]] box set.
* This is the season finale of [[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]].
** This is also the last episode:
*** of the English dub to feature a [[Pokémon Karaokémon|music video segment]].
*** with the original title card in the dub (in the Japanese version, it was still used until [[EP191]]).
*** in the dub where the episode starts only after the opening sequence.
*** of the [[Pokémon in Italy|Italian]] dub to have been redubbed.
* This episode contains one of the few occasions when a character other than Cassidy gets Butch's name right straight away—Brock identifies him correctly when they discover the Center was a fake.
* [[Eric Stuart]], the English voice actor for [[James]], has stated that his favorite line from the anime is "I am a flaming {{p|Moltres}}," which comes from this episode.
* What James says after first appearing in his Moltres costume in the Japanese version, "The heavens call...the earth cries out..the wind roars." is a reference to the catchphrase from the series ''{{wp|Kamen Rider Stronger}}'', in which the main character says "The heavens call...the earth cries out...the crowds roar".
* The Pokémon Fortune Telling craze could be a reference to {{wp|Dōbutsu uranai}}, a Japanese version of {{wp|Horoscope}}s.

===Errors===
* When Ash and {{ashfr}} are surprised when they see the Day Care workers removing their masks, the edges of a {{p|Sentret}}'s ears are colored medium-brown instead of dark-brown. Additionally, a {{p|Sandshrew}} has a completely yellow face when the bottom half should be cream-colored.
* After {{TRT}} is blasted away by Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}}, {{TP|James|Victreebel}} disappears.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pokémon Karaokémon]]: [[You & Me & Pokémon]]

Since the article's been moved and all, what about all the links to <nolink>[[Brock]]</nolink>? Should they get changed as well? [[User:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[User talk:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[Special:Contributions/J-J-M|'''M''']] 10:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

:Done. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 19:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

== Doctor vs. Breeder ==
So... which one would be appropriate seeing the recent change about it. --[[User:Joeshie|+ Joeshie +]] ''([[User talk:Joeshie|is Mæ!]])'' 07:16, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

== On Hand vs. At Home ==
Ok, so Brock has returned home to study at become a doctor. So, just like Misty's page, should we list Sudowoodo, Chansey, and Croagunk as at home/Pewter Gym with all the other ones? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 17:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia Edit Request ==
"''Despite starting out as a Rock-type Gym Leader, of all the Pokémon Brock currently owns, only one is pure Rock-type, Sudowoodo. '''Currently, it is with him.'''''" 
Remove the bold part please since all of his pokemon are with him.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 23:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
:Done. Changed to "In [[DP191|Brock's last appearance]], it was with him."--[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 00:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Steel type ==
Brock is not the only main character with steel types because of [[Iris]] ''[[User:DoTheWave|<big>D</big>o]][[User talk:DoTheWave|The]][[Wigglytuff (Jungle 16)|Wave]]'' 22:44, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
:Removed. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

== Little League ==
In [[EP125|The Little Big Horn]] it is said that he played in {{wp|Little League}} when he was younger. Should that be noted? ''[[User:DoTheWave|Do]][[User talk:DoTheWave|The]][[Wigglytuff (Jungle 16)|Wave]]'' 21:13, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

== Flint City ==
In [[EP244|Enlighten Up!]] Brock mentions he is "Brock, from Flint City." I presume this is just a mistake on the part of the script writers (especially as Flint is Brock's father) but I thought I would check just in case I had missed something elsewhere. [[User:Nytik|Nytik]] 19:04, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== Eye color ==
Why it's said they are black? He had his eyes opened only couple times and we never saw actual eyeballs. Sure, there is this screenshots: [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/87/Brock_open_eyes.png] and [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/3d/Brock_eyes_open.png] but we can see only dots, thats not enough to determine his eye color. If there is another source of information, it should be mentioned in the article --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 12:23, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

== Harrison ==
Why doesn't it give Brock's surname at the top of the page if it's been confirmed? Lucariade 18:31, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:Because it hasn't been confirmed. No official source has confirmed it. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:02, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
::And just in case you are wondering, voice actor confirmed =/= officially confirmed. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== TCG ==
Shouldn't cards like [[Brock's Vulpix (Gym Heroes 73)]] be included in the TCG section? [[User:Bulbajer|Bulbajer]] 21:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
:I personally think it should be mentioned. I would go ask {{u|Maverick Nate}} about it since he's the Project TCG leader. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:26, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

== Ninetales ==
Shouldn't the Ninetales from ''Just Waiting on a Friend'' be listed as befriended? Brock commanded it, but he also befriended the Ninetales. [[User:PikachuXRaichu]] 03:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
:IIRC, it had been added and removed numerous times in the past.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:46, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

== Befriended ==
I just watched the episode with the Sharpedo in de Avanced arc, and I started wondering, if there shouldn't be a section with befriended Pokémon on Brock's page, since he befriended the leader of the Sharpedo group. [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 13:12, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

==Marowak==
As we can't confirm that the Marowak from [[SM042]] is his, can we class this as a temporary Pokémon as he was seen calling it out--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:41, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

== Gym Leader status ==
I forgot for this issue for a very very very long time. As the Gym Leader status was handed to Forrest, he should not be the Gym Leader of Pewter Gym now. Should we remove it at this moment? {{unsigned|KyleRGiggs}}

== Brock's age ==
So I digged to find the source of Brock's age and found this [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Brock_(anime)&oldid=1037378] sentence : ''Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.''. Then I found this image (source [http://pokeai.net/toz/sales/settei/]) which does seem to have 15 written on it, but I am not sure what does it exactly say. I think we should either add this to the page or give up on claiming his age.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:22, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

[[File:Brock Season 1 settei.jpg]]

:Please don't remove information just because no one responded. You should know this by now. And a user [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Jessie&diff=1925338&oldid=1925258 noted years ago] that it was hinted in the Japanese version.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:39, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
::I removed it because there is no source right now that would support this claim. What you linked up doesn't say anything about Brock's age.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 08:47, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
:::You asked on the talk page for a source, and no one responded, that does not mean you can go ahead and remove it. At least wait for a response before removing it, be patient.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:02, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
::::The main problem is, such information shouldn't ever be put on the page without providing a source. I'll remove it again if no one will find a source (or translate the image) in a week.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 11:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
:::::Seems a bit unfair in my opinion. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:40, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
::::::Btw, the sketch does say Brock's age. It appears to say 15才, which translates to 15 years old (15-sai).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:40, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
:::::::"Btw"? It solves whole problem.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 23:06, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

== Arceus Special ==

Since it's confirmed that Brock is returning in the Arceus special, should we mention it here as well as creating an Arceus Special episode page? [[User:PokeAmour|PokeAmour]] ([[User talk:PokeAmour|talk]]) 06:42, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

==cynthia's garchomp==
should be under temp pokemon, as he was given it by cnythia for the one battle and commanded it to use dig.[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 23:52, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

== Suzie ==

Would she count as one of the few women to have been known to show interest in him? [[User:Pborri|Pborri]] ([[User talk:Pborri|talk]]) 13:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

==Blurb==

On their way to the Sunyshore Gym and Ash's next battle, our heroes come across their friend Barry. He shows off all eight of the Badges he's earned, which prove he's ready to compete in the Sinnoh League! Paul is on the scene, too, and he's also won eight Badges. Barry challenges Paul to a battle on the spot, but Paul refuses, suggesting Barry battle Ash instead. Barry would rather take on Paul, but when Barry discovers that Ash has previously battled Paul in a full battle, he changes his mind and challenges Ash.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has decided to try a new approach: catch the heroes first to get them out of the way, and then catch their Pokémon. It appears to work! Pikachu, Piplup, and Barry's Empoleon are caught and held captive. But, while Barry and Ash are battling, Monferno becomes enraged, thanks to an out-of-control Blaze ability! Ash reasons with Monferno to calm it down, only to get a big surprise when it evolves into Infernape! Infernape saves Pikachu, Piplup, and Empoleon, and proves to be a powerful and quick Pokémon in its own right.

Paul tells Ash he will battle him in the upcoming Sinnoh League. But first, Ash knows he must set his sights on winning his eighth Badge at the Sunyshore Gym!

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} are traveling through a small town on the way to [[Sunyshore City]] when they notice a crowd has gathered to watch a [[Pokémon battle]] taking place nearby. Deciding to stop and have a look, they are surprised to find that the person who is battling is {{an|Barry}}, whose {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} is battling another Trainer's {{p|Mothim}}. Barry has Empoleon use {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, which scores a direct hit on Mothim. His opponent has Mothim use {{m|Signal Beam}}, but Barry has Empoleon block it with its wings, receiving almost no damage from it. The crowd is very impressed, and Brock notes that Empoleon is a lot stronger than when they [[DP157|last saw it]]. Barry has Empoleon use {{m|Metal Claw}}. The Trainer tries to counter with {{m|Silver Wind}}; however, Empoleon expertly dodges the attack and strikes Mothim, knocking him out. The Trainer sees to his Mothim while Barry congratulates Empoleon and the crowd cheers his excellent victory. As Barry laps up the kudos, he stops Ash and the others and happily greets his friend and rival.

Later, as the group relaxes, Barry catches up with Ash and asks about {{AP|Gible}}'s training to master {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Ash is forced to confess that it is not going very well at the moment, which disappoints Barry, who remarks that Ash may never reach the [[Sinnoh League]] if his Pokémon can't master their [[move]]s. Ash tells Barry he is still headed for [[Sunyshore Gym]] for his final [[Badge]], which makes Barry laugh. Barry shows off his collection of eight Badges, including the {{Badge|Beacon}} he got from Sunyshore, adding that the Sunyshore Gym was the best of all of them. Dawn tells Ash that now he has to catch up to both Barry and [[Paul]], much to Barry’s excitement.
Meanwhile, at {{TRT}}'s temporary base, [[James]] announces that, after analyzing their previous failed plans, he has decided to take charge of the next attempt to nab {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} are incredulous, but continue to listen as James explains that the main problem with their previous schemes is that they have always been stealing the Pokémon, then trying to flee. This, in turn, allows the [[twerp]]s to counterattack and send them blasting off. However, if they were to instead trap the twerps, then grab the Pokémon and flee, they could then make a clean getaway. Jessie and Meowth both like the idea and decide to get started at once.

Back in town, the group is all feeling pretty hungry so decide to stop at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. [[Nurse Joy]] greets the four and Brock goes to flirt with her, only for {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} to {{m|Poison Jab}} him. Just then, Dawn spots Paul and points him out to Ash, who has not seen him since [[DP132|their Full Battle]]. While Ash is surprised, Barry goes over to Paul, introduces himself, tells him he has also earned eight Badges and challenges him to a battle. Paul is unimpressed with Barry, however, and declines the offer, which surprises Barry. Paul reveals that he is declining all challenges at the moment to concentrate on serious training for the Sinnoh League and he will not risk his Pokémon's condition by having a pointless battle that may confuse them. Barry insists that a battle against him won't be pointless, but Paul tells Barry that if he is desperate for a battle, he should battle Ash. Barry refuses since he doesn't believe Ash is on their level, given that he only has seven Badges. Ash tells Paul that he knows he has earned all eight Badges after [[DP155|seeing the news report about it]], with the atmosphere of the conversation awkward and chilly. Ash then tells Paul that he plans on getting his eighth Badge at Sunyshore Gym. Suddenly, Paul furiously tells Ash that he does not consider Sunyshore City's Gym to be worthy of its title. A surprised Barry insists that it’s the best Gym, but Paul declares it the worst. The conflicting reviews of the Gym leave Dawn and Brock extremely confused. Paul then leaves. Barry tries to shout at him, and then angrily tells him that he is getting a fine.

Ash assures Barry that he is bound to encounter Paul again someday, and warns him not to let his guard down in battle. Barry asks exactly what happened between the two of them. Ash replies that he and Paul had a Full Battle, earning Barry's jealousy and that even though he lost, Ash considers it to have been a good battle as he learned a lot. He then vows that the next time he and Paul battle, he will definitely win. Barry is impressed by Ash's determination and then decides to follow Paul's advice by challenging Ash to a battle, which Ash accepts.

Just then, the latest update regarding [[Pokémon Contest]]s appears on [[television]], catching Dawn's attention. [[Marian]] informs the viewers that she has news straight from the {{pkmn|Activities Committee|Grand Festival Planning Committee}}, and announces that the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] will be held at [[Valor Lakefront]]. Marian advises that any {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who have not earned the required five [[Ribbon]]s need not give up as there are still seven Contests remaining before the event. Nearby are the [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] Team Rocket, who are also listening to the news, and Jessie is very excited to hear that her own goal is not yet out of reach. Having earned three Ribbons at the {{to|Solaceon}}, {{to|Majolica}}, and {{to|Lilypad}} Contests, Jessie is determined to win another two and enter the [[Grand Festival]] too. Ash notes the coincidence that the Grand Festival is being held in the same place that Dawn earned the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. Checking his [[Pokégear]], Brock tells the group they should continue on to Sunyshore City, then backtrack to [[Lake Valor]] afterward. Dawn knows that she will need to use the spare time to start working on new [[Contest combination]]s, and Barry wishes Dawn the best of luck in the Festival before reminding Ash of their battle. The group run out of the Center, while Jessie tries to leave to get her two Ribbons, only to be reminded of the current plan to nab Pikachu and Piplup.

It is decided the match will be composed of three one-on-one battles, with Brock refereeing. Dawn uses the [[Coin Toss]] application on her [[Pokétch]], with Barry winning the chance to go first. Throwing the {{i|Poké Ball}}s, Barry sends out Empoleon first while Ash starts with {{AP|Monferno}}. Barry is happy, knowing that as Empoleon is a {{type|Water}}, it will have the advantage over the {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Monferno. Barry starts off by having Empoleon use Hydro Cannon, though Monferno dodges it and lands a {{m|Mach Punch}}. Meanwhile, Paul is walking past the battle area and, while unnoticed, decides to stop and watch when he sees Ash is using Monferno. Ash boasts that with the high speed of Mach Punch, Monferno can easily overcome the type disadvantage he has with Empoleon. Barry decides to try {{m|Drill Peck}}, but Ash has Monferno {{m|Dig}} underground before emerging and landing another hard hit on Empoleon. Barry has Empoleon use Hydro Cannon, and while this time it hits, it lands at such close range that Monferno is sent flying into some nearby trees. Ash and Dawn are both worried, while Barry curses himself, knowing he used far too much power against Monferno. Ash starts calling for Monferno, but there is no response.

Just then, a plastic capsule flies out of the air, heading towards Ash, and Dawn calls for him to look out for it. However it is no use, and Ash is trapped inside. He pounds on the capsule and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on it, but the capsule is electricity-proof. The others are about to go and help when suddenly three more capsules appear, capturing Brock, Dawn, and Barry. Piplup tries using his beak to free Dawn, but it is no use. A distraught Piplup looks up to hear the laughter of Team Rocket as they descend in the Meowth balloon and start reciting their {{motto}}. Pikachu, Piplup, and Empoleon use Thunderbolt, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, and Hydro Cannon, respectively, against Team Rocket. However, as they do, the balloon itself starts to deflate while arms and legs emerge from the basket. The arms deflect the attacks, grab the three Pokémon, and deposit them in a cage as Team Rocket finish their motto. Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and has her use {{m|Pound}} to break the capsule, but even Happiny's strength cannot break it and is sent spinning. Team Rocket boasts that the capsules are unbreakable from the inside and prepare to make their getaway.

Suddenly, a pillar of fire emerges from the nearby trees, transforms itself into an extra-powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}} attack, and heads towards Team Rocket's mecha. It circles around, before landing and Monferno emerges, but his eyes are colored pink, confirming that Monferno has triggered his {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]]. Monferno then screams with fury as powerful flames emerge from his tail. Barry asks what is happening and Brock and Dawn explain that Blaze is Monferno's Ability, a power boost that kicks in when Monferno's stamina is low and he is under stress. Team Rocket cannot believe their luck and decide to get Monferno, too. However, Monferno's sheer power easily destroys their grabbed claw. He then powers up a Flame Wheel attack and heads towards Team Rocket. Ash tries to block it and reminds the out-of-control Monferno that the other Pokémon are still trapped. In his fury, Monferno is unable to listen and hits Ash before continuing on and hitting the basket, causing an explosion. Monferno then comes around and uses Mach Punch, completely destroying the basket and sending Team Rocket blasting off as they commiserate another failed plan.

By now, Monferno is completely out of control, and while the controls of the mecha were destroyed, the main body survived, and the Pokémon are still trapped. Without anyone controlling it, the legs start to buckle, threatening to crush the still-captive Pokémon. Ash prepares to send out a Pokémon to help when Paul suddenly arrives and sends out his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}. Paul has it use {{m|Protect}} to support the cage, amazing everyone. Unfortunately, Monferno irately powers up a Flame Wheel, and damages one of the legs, putting the Pokémon in far more danger. Monferno circles around and prepares for another hit, but Ash is determined to save Monferno and all the Pokémon. He intercepts the Flame Wheel, grabs Monferno when he emerges and holds on tight. As Blaze engulfs Monferno and Ash, he begs him to not let himself be swallowed up by Blaze's power and reminds him of the [[DP051|promise they made to get stronger together]]. Paul looks on in amazement at what Ash is willing to endure to calm his Pokémon down. Suddenly, Electabuzz's Protective barrier fails, and the mecha starts to collapse, endangering Electabuzz as well as the other Pokémon. Monferno, now back in control, powers up a Flame Wheel, and races towards the cage getting underneath and supporting it. As he supports the cage, Monferno suddenly evolves into {{p|Infernape}}. Ash has Infernape throw the cage into the air and then has it destroyed with Mach Punch. This proves to be no problem for the powerful Pokémon as he frees Pikachu, Piplup, and Empoleon. When they start to fall, Infernape absorbs them into a Flame Wheel attack to allow them to land safely. Ash congratulates Infernape, and Pikachu and Piplup thank Infernape for saving them.

Paul remarks that Monferno was not only able to control Blaze, but was able to transform it into a new kind of energy that allowed him to evolve. Infernape then releases Brock, Dawn, and Barry from their capsules; and Piplup and Empoleon reunite with their relieved Trainers. Paul starts to leave, but Ash thanks him for his help and tells his rival that both he and Infernape will battle again. Paul tells Ash that [[Reggie]] would also like to see another Full Battle between them, adding he will see them at the Sinnoh League. Paul then leaves, and Brock tells Ash that when the two do battle, he will be able to show Paul just how much both he and his Pokémon have improved, and Dawn concurs that this time Ash will not lose. Ash vows to not let Paul defeat him again.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]]: {{p|Donphan}}
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a reference to the phrase "''fighting fire with fire''".
** Similar dub titles were also used with two [[EP131|earlier]] [[DP085|episodes]]. Coincidentally, the second episode also features the evolution of [[Ash's Gliscor|one of Ash's Pokémon]] and was set in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.
* In an initial announcement for this episode, [[TV Tokyo]]'s website incorrectly stated that {{an|Barry}} had won the {{badge|Coal}} from the Sunyshore Gym. This was corrected a day later, stating instead that Barry won the {{badge|Beacon}} from the Sunyshore Gym.
* This is the first episode where Barry doesn't bump into {{Ash}}.
* This marks [[EP063|the first time]] since the [[original series]] that a rival of Ash's shows off all his Badges, only some of which are similar to Ash's.
* Two [[Team Rocket's mechas]] from ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story!]]'' and ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'' make cameo in this episode.
* The children's story "{{wp|The Little Engine that Could}}" is referenced by {{MTR}} when he says that they will be known as the "Team Rocket that could."
* "[[Ready Go!]]" is played during the scene {{AP|Monferno}} evolves.
* As of this episode:
** Ash, Paul, and Barry have all {{p|Torterra|three}} {{p|Infernape|final}} {{p|Empoleon|forms}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] between them.
** all forms of all Sinnoh starter Pokémon have made their appearance in the main anime series.
* This is the first episode where when Team Rocket recites their motto in front of Barry where he didn't interrupt them.
* When Meowth says when Team Rocket is blasting off, "There's no place like home," he may be referring to the movie ''The Wizard of Oz''.
* A version of "[[Which One ~ Is It?]]" is used as the ending theme, in which animation is used alongside live-action shots.
* This is the last episode to be produced by OLM/OLM Digital. Team Kato takes over the animation duties starting from ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'' onward.
* Team Rocket narrates the preview for the [[DP164|next episode]].

===Errors===
* In one scene, a man has green {{wp|sclera|sclerae}} in his eyes instead of white.
* After Ash tells Barry about his problems with perfecting {{AP|Gible}}'s {{m|Draco Meteor}}, the lace-like pattern on Empoleon's belly is missing the black spots. They later reappear while Empoleon is sitting in the same position.
* When Ash's Monferno was about to use {{m|Dig}} during his battle with Barry's Empoleon, Monferno has four fingers on each hand instead of five.
* In the beginning of the battle between Ash and Barry, Barry says that he and his Empoleon have the type advantage ({{t|Water}} over {{t|Fire}}), However, he did not consider the fact that his Empoleon is also a {{t|Steel}} type, which is weak to both types of Monferno, plus removing Empoleon's Water-type resistance to Fire. Because of this, neither of the two had an advantage over the other.
* In the English dub, after {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} uses {{m|Poison Jab}} on {{an|Brock}}, his Japanese voice can be heard.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub, {{m|Silver Wind}} is incorrectly referred to as ''Garra de Metal'', the same name as {{m|Metal Claw}}.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, when freed from the plastic capsules, Brock sounds like he is still trapped.

'''Tracey's Scyther''' (Japanese: '''ケンジのストライク''' ''Kenji's Strike'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Tracey Sketchit]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and his third overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Tracey Scyther injured.png|thumb|left|220px|Scyther upon initial encounter]]
====[[Original series]]====
=====Orange Islands=====
Scyther debuted in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', where Tracey discovered it lying in a field on [[Murcott Island]] injured. He attempted to help it by feeding it medicine, but it only growled at him and then backed away, feeling threatened. Ash attempted to catch it in a {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Scyther deflected it. Tracey then asked his {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on the Mantis Pokémon. Scyther quickly went to sleep and Tracey caught it without a struggle before heading off to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]].

While [[Nurse Joy]] was bandaging its wounds, it leered at Tracey through the window as if it was angry with him for capturing it. Nurse Joy explained that because of the wounds it sustained, it must have been the leader of a {{p|Scyther}} swarm who lost its battle for leadership. Because it appeared elderly, she assumed that it had lost to a younger, faster Scyther. Since it lost its leadership, it had to leave the swarm and live in exile unless it won another leadership match. Ash called Professor Oak, the Professor commending Tracey. Oak pointed out that Scyther's self-esteem was probably low due to losing its leadership and being caught shortly afterward. Oak suggested that Tracey try to heal Scyther’s mood and get it back in shape.

Tracey was pained that he could do nothing to help Scyther feel better, but Ash suggested that he help train Scyther to re-challenge the new leader once it had got better. Without warning, it flew out of the window of the Pokémon Center but crashed to the ground. Undeterred, it flew off, leaving the others behind. It was assumed that Scyther wished to challenge the new leader immediately. It's soon discovered that Scyther had heard the cries of its former swarm members who had been captured by {{TRT}}, and it had left the Pokémon Center to save them. Scyther declined Pikachu's assistance and challenged all of {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} on its own. It was able to fight all five, but its fatigue kicked in just as {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} used {{m|Poison Sting}}. The new leader Scyther jumped in to help, and the two Scyther sent Team Rocket fleeing. Afterward, Scyther made amends with its replacement and happily went with Tracey.
[[File:Tracey and Scyther.png|thumb|left|220px|Tracey and Scyther]]
[[File:Pikachu and Scyther.png|thumb|220px|Scyther and Pikachu]]
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Tracey decided to introduce the group's Pokémon to Scyther, although they all feared it. However, they quickly warmed up to it after seeing that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was not scared of it. {{AP|Charizard}}, though, had no interest and nearly hit Scyther with {{m|Flamethrower}}. This caused a small rivalry between the two Pokémon. Scyther then warded off Ash's hungry {{AP|Snorlax}} from devouring the group's food. They were able to set aside their differences to alert their Trainers that Team Rocket was trying to steal their Pokémon. Scyther was also able to send Team Rocket blasting off with Skull Bash.

Tracey loaned Scyther and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} to Misty to help fight a fire on [[Ascorbia Island]] while he went to find [[Captain Aidan]]'s [[Team Wartortle|Wartortle]] in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. It assisted by slashing away the rubble that fell from the burning building long enough for Team Wartortle to come and finish the job.

On [[EP116|the day]] that Tracey decided to leave the group and become {{an|Professor Oak}}'s assistant, he used Scyther to help save Pikachu, who was taken by Team Rocket, by slashing open the case that he had been trapped in. Once saved, Pikachu happily hopped up on Scyther's shoulder as a show of thanks. The following day, it was seen with Tracey and its teammates as they saw Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} off as they departed for [[Johto]].

=====Kanto=====
Since Tracey arrived in [[Pallet Town]], Scyther has rarely appeared. However, it helped with the crisis at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'' by breaking up a fight between the Grass and Water Pokémon.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Tracey used Scyther during the battle against [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] when they stole all of the [[Poké Ball]]s in the lab.

In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', Tracey used Scyther to battle Butch's {{p|Mightyena}}. However, its age got the better of it, and it was unable to complete the battle. Tracey recalled it back to its Poké Ball before it could get hurt.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Scyther appeared in ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', where it, Tracey, and the rest of his Pokémon greeted Ash upon his visit back to Pallet Town.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Tracey Scyther tired.png|thumb|220px|Scyther becoming tired]]
Scyther has the attitude of a warrior, and pride means everything to it. It will not back down from a battle even when the odds are stacked against it. It is also extremely loyal to members of its swarm as it came to protect them even though it had been exiled from the swarm. It has also been seen to have a gentle side, as seen in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', when [[Misty's Togepi]] came to greet it. It also has an air of protectiveness about it, as it is shown to be very loyal to Tracey and completely willing to defend him.

Undoubtedly, Scyther is the powerhouse of Tracey's team and is the only one used solely for battling rather than Pokémon watching. Being an old warhorse, however, it gets tired easily, resulting in Tracey not pushing it very hard. Its age is also evident in its appearance, as it looks scruffier than younger Scyther. It would often use Swords Dance to blow away a {{m|Smog}} or a {{m|Smokescreen}} attack caused by [[James's Weezing]].

When Scyther initially appeared, it was shown to be a "sore loser," not taking defeat well. Indeed, after Tracey had caught it, it retained this characteristic, although, as mentioned before, it did take defeat a little bit better.

==In the games==
===In the side series===
====[[Pokémon Puzzle League]]====
Scyther is one of {{Tracey}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}.

==Trivia==

** Scyther is also Tracey's only Pokémon where the circumstances of its capture are known.
* Scyther is the first Pokémon owned by a main character who is confirmed to be elderly.
* Scyther is the only Pokemon of Tracy's to appear in [[Pokemon Chronicles]].

'''Tracey's Scyther''' (Japanese: '''ケンジのストライク''' ''Kenji's Strike'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Tracey Sketchit]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and his third overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Tracey Scyther injured.png|thumb|left|220px|Scyther upon initial encounter]]
====[[Original series]]====
=====Orange Islands=====
Scyther debuted in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', where Tracey discovered it lying in a field on [[Murcott Island]] injured. He attempted to help it by feeding it medicine, but it only growled at him and then backed away, feeling threatened. Ash attempted to catch it in a {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Scyther deflected it. Tracey then asked his {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on the Mantis Pokémon. Scyther quickly went to sleep and Tracey caught it without a struggle before heading off to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]].

While [[Nurse Joy]] was bandaging its wounds, it leered at Tracey through the window as if it was angry with him for capturing it. Nurse Joy explained that because of the wounds it sustained, it must have been the leader of a {{p|Scyther}} swarm who lost its battle for leadership. Because it appeared elderly, she assumed that it had lost to a younger, faster Scyther. Since it lost its leadership, it had to leave the swarm and live in exile unless it won another leadership match. Ash called Professor Oak, the Professor commending Tracey. Oak pointed out that Scyther's self-esteem was probably low due to losing its leadership and being caught shortly afterward. Oak suggested that Tracey try to heal Scyther’s mood and get it back in shape.

Tracey was pained that he could do nothing to help Scyther feel better, but Ash suggested that he help train Scyther to re-challenge the new leader once it had got better. Without warning, it flew out of the window of the Pokémon Center but crashed to the ground. Undeterred, it flew off, leaving the others behind. It was assumed that Scyther wished to challenge the new leader immediately. It's soon discovered that Scyther had heard the cries of its former swarm members who had been captured by {{TRT}}, and it had left the Pokémon Center to save them. Scyther declined Pikachu's assistance and challenged all of {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} on its own. It was able to fight all five, but its fatigue kicked in just as {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} used {{m|Poison Sting}}. The new leader Scyther jumped in to help, and the two Scyther sent Team Rocket fleeing. Afterward, Scyther made amends with its replacement and happily went with Tracey.

[[File:Pikachu and Scyther.png|thumb|220px|Scyther and Pikachu]]
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Tracey decided to introduce the group's Pokémon to Scyther, although they all feared it. However, they quickly warmed up to it after seeing that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was not scared of it. {{AP|Charizard}}, though, had no interest and nearly hit Scyther with {{m|Flamethrower}}. This caused a small rivalry between the two Pokémon. Scyther then warded off Ash's hungry {{AP|Snorlax}} from devouring the group's food. They were able to set aside their differences to alert their Trainers that Team Rocket was trying to steal their Pokémon. Scyther was also able to send Team Rocket blasting off with Skull Bash.

Tracey loaned Scyther and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} to Misty to help fight a fire on [[Ascorbia Island]] while he went to find [[Captain Aidan]]'s [[Team Wartortle|Wartortle]] in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. It assisted by slashing away the rubble that fell from the burning building long enough for Team Wartortle to come and finish the job.

On [[EP116|the day]] that Tracey decided to leave the group and become {{an|Professor Oak}}'s assistant, he used Scyther to help save Pikachu, who was taken by Team Rocket, by slashing open the case that he had been trapped in. Once saved, Pikachu happily hopped up on Scyther's shoulder as a show of thanks. The following day, it was seen with Tracey and its teammates as they saw Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} off as they departed for [[Johto]].

=====Kanto=====
Since Tracey arrived in [[Pallet Town]], Scyther has rarely appeared. However, it helped with the crisis at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'' by breaking up a fight between the Grass and Water Pokémon.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Tracey used Scyther during the battle against [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] when they stole all of the [[Poké Ball]]s in the lab.

In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', Tracey used Scyther to battle Butch's {{p|Mightyena}}. However, its age got the better of it, and it was unable to complete the battle. Tracey recalled it back to its Poké Ball before it could get hurt.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Scyther appeared in ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', where it, Tracey, and the rest of his Pokémon greeted Ash upon his visit back to Pallet Town.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Tracey Scyther tired.png|thumb|220px|Scyther becoming tired]]
Scyther has the attitude of a warrior, and pride means everything to it. It will not back down from a battle even when the odds are stacked against it. It is also extremely loyal to members of its swarm as it came to protect them even though it had been exiled from the swarm. It has also been seen to have a gentle side, as seen in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', when [[Misty's Togepi]] came to greet it. It also has an air of protectiveness about it, as it is shown to be very loyal to Tracey and completely willing to defend him.

Undoubtedly, Scyther is the powerhouse of Tracey's team and is the only one used solely for battling rather than Pokémon watching. Being an old warhorse, however, it gets tired easily, resulting in Tracey not pushing it very hard. Its age is also evident in its appearance, as it looks scruffier than younger Scyther. It would often use Swords Dance to blow away a {{m|Smog}} or a {{m|Smokescreen}} attack caused by [[James's Weezing]].

When Scyther initially appeared, it was shown to be a "sore loser," not taking defeat well. Indeed, after Tracey had caught it, it retained this characteristic, although, as mentioned before, it did take defeat a little bit better.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Ash's Torterra''' (Japanese: '''サトシのドダイトス''' ''Satoshi's Dodaitose'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and his thirtieth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Clara and Turtwig.png|220px|thumb|left|As a Turtwig, with Clara]]
In ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', {{Ash}} originally caught Torterra as a Turtwig. He had been living in the forest near [[Clara]]'s home, and he broke up fights among [[wild Pokémon]] in the area. After {{TRT}} stole [[Ash's Pikachu]], their {{TP|Team Rocket|balloon|mechas}} crashed, and Turtwig defended Pikachu against them. When Ash and {{ashfr}} appeared, Turtwig assumed they were trying to wrongfully steal Pikachu too, so he attacked them and ran off with an exhausted Pikachu in tow. The next time they confronted Turtwig, the misunderstanding was explained, and Turtwig apologetically befriended Ash. At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends began to leave, and the old woman encouraged Turtwig to go with Ash, so he ran to challenge him to a battle. Ash accepted his challenge, facing him with Pikachu and eventually catching him.

As Turtwig, he was a brave yet kind Pokémon with high confidence for his small size. He apparently had a strong jaw, as he was often seen latching himself onto people and Pokémon's heads, tails, hats, and appendages to attack or show affection. he has done this to Ash as well, the behavior somewhat resembling that of [[James's Victreebel]], {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. He has also been shown to be both incredibly fast and quite strong, such as the time when he used Bite on [[Roark's Rampardos]] on its tail and threw the {{pkmn|category|Head Butt Pokémon}} into a rock, after which {{an|Brock}} said, "Big things come in small packages!"

In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', Turtwig battled [[Paul's Chimchar]] and lost. Although he held his own in battle, he appeared to hesitate upon receiving Ash's command to dodge [[Move|attacks]].

Overall, he has taken part in five of Ash's [[Gym]] battles. As a Turtwig, he defeated Roark's Cranidos in [[DP016|their first battle]], and [[DP018|in the rematch]], defeated the newly-[[Evolution|evolved]] Rampardos, giving Ash his first {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge|Sinnoh Badge}}.
[[File:DP018.png|220px|thumb|As a Turtwig, facing off against Roark's Rampardos]]
In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', Turtwig was first sent out to rescue [[Cheryl]] from vines with his Razor Leaf. He stayed out of his Poké Ball and was later found by [[Gardenia]], who found him cute. He later battled as Ash's first Pokémon against Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} in their unofficial two vs two battle. Turtwig used Tackle, hitting Cherubi, and then used multiple Razor Leaf attacks, hitting Cherubi the first time, but Cherubi dodged without receiving any commands. Impressed with Turtwig, Gardenia recalled Cherubi, with Brock speculating that Gardenia used Cherubi to check out Ash's Turtwig. Gardenia next used her {{p|Turtwig}}, who overwhelmed Ash's Turtwig with its superior speed and easily defeated it.

In ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', Turtwig was Ash's first Pokémon in his [[Eterna Gym]] battle against Gardenia, going up against her {{p|Cherubi}} again. Turtwig ended up struggling against Cherubi due to its Ability {{a|Chlorophyll}}, so Ash chose to eventually recall him. He later called him out to face Gardenia's Turtwig again. This time, Ash's Turtwig was prepared for his opponents speedy strategies and was able to defeat it. He next went up against Gardenia's final Pokémon, {{p|Roserade}}. Due to the [[harsh sunlight]] present during the battle, Roserade's {{m|Weather Ball}} turned into a {{type|Fire}} move, allowing the Bouquet Pokémon to snatch an easy victory.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Turtwig was used in the quarterfinals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. He was paired up with Paul's Chimchar, who was still weak from earlier training, and was up against a {{p|Zangoose}} and a {{p|Metagross}}. The two quickly become overwhelmed due to Chimchar being too weak and afraid of Zangoose to make any attacks. The situation became even worse when Paul ordered Chimchar to use a friendly fire {{m|Flame Wheel}} on Turtwig, seriously injuring him, before getting caught in Zangoose's claws. Turtwig saved it, and Chimchar made up for this by protecting him from a {{m|Fire Blast}} attack on its own accord. Realizing that not even reliving the traumatic event of being attacked by Zangoose could motivate Chimchar to activate Blaze, Paul gave up on it and refused to give it any more commands. Consequently, Ash gave Chimchar commands from then on, and the three went on to win the battle.
[[File:Ash Turtwig learning Energy Ball.png|thumb|220px|left|As a Turtwig, training to learn Energy Ball]]
After learning Energy Ball from {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}} in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Turtwig didn't battle again until the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', where he battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Quagsire}}. But despite having a major type advantage, he was called back after encountering difficulties with the opponent's super effective {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attacks.

Like many of Ash's Pokémon, Turtwig's battle style was based on his {{stat|speed}}, a factor that Ash focused on even more after seeing Gardenia's Turtwig in action. However, in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Turtwig evolved into {{p|Grotle}} during a battle against [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It quickly became apparent that, due to his new body being larger and heavier, Grotle's speed had diminished, and he fumbled and fell down a lot in the battle, ultimately losing. The newly evolved Grotle had high expectations of himself, well exemplified in the same episode. During the night, he went out to try and recover his speed. However, he failed and continued to stumble over. This was initially upsetting, but [[Paul's Torterra]] provided some unexpected help by showing Grotle that he could rely on {{stat|defense}} instead.
[[File:Ash Grotle Paul Torterra.png|thumb|220px|As a Grotle, with Paul's Torterra]]
In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', it was shown that Grotle became fatigued from walking a lot due to his increased weight. He had to be carried by [[Brock's Happiny]] for a portion of the journey.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Ash used his Grotle to help train [[Dawn's Piloswine]], where he utilized the defensive method he was taught by Paul's Torterra. By ''[[DP109|Leading A Stray!]]'', this training had begun to pay off in battle as Grotle took a {{p|Swampert}}'s {{m|Focus Punch}} on the head and replied accordingly with Razor Leaf, knocking his opponent out.

In ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'', in order to save a {{p|Snover}}, Grotle surpassed his own limits and learned Rock Climb through his willpower alone, which allowed him to regain some of the speed he had as a Turtwig.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', he was Ash's first Pokémon in his Gym Battle against [[Candice]], going up against her {{p|Sneasel}}. Thanks to the training from Paul's {{p|Torterra}}, Grotle was able to withstand Sneasel's super effective attacks and defeat it before being recalled. He later went up against her {{p|Abomasnow}} and went in for a Rock Climb, but this was countered by {{m|Wood Hammer}}, which knocked him out.

In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', Grotle was used in the [[Full Battle]] between Ash and Paul. He was sent out against {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}, but had an Energy Ball blocked by {{m|Light Screen}} before Paul substituted it for Honchkrow, pitting the two against each other once again. With Grotle's apparent determination to redeem himself after [[DP100|losing before]], Ash decided not to switch. However, Honchkrow proved to be far too powerful with its type advantage on top of Electabuzz's Light Screen still being active. A badly timed Synthesis gave Honchkrow an opening to unleash a {{m|Sky Attack}}, and Grotle was defeated as a result.

In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Grotle, along with the rest of Ash's Sinnoh team, was under the care of [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]], suffering bodily repercussions from the rough Full Battle loss against Paul. Later, he helped rescue Pikachu from {{TRT}} by knocking [[Jessie's Yanmega]] out with a single Energy Ball, before blasting them off with another one.
[[File:DP141.png|250px|thumb|left|As a Grotle, clashing with Palmer's Rhyperior]]
In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', he was used to battle [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} in the [[Festival Battle Challenge]]. With Rhyperior's {{a|Solid Rock}} Ability, increased speed from {{m|Rock Polish}}, and powerful {{m|Rock Wrecker}} and {{m|Sandstorm}} attacks, Grotle struggled at first, but was able to make a comeback after healing himself with Synthesis and accidentally swallowing his own Energy Ball, which caused the bushes on his back to radiate a green aura and grant him a huge power boost. Said boost made him strong enough to push Rhyperior back with Rock Climb. However, this position left Grotle vulnerable to another Rock Wrecker, which was enough to knock him out despite putting up a good fight.

In ''[[DP144|Gone with the Windworks!]]'', he battled [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]] where the newly hatched Pokémon proved to be a strong battler.

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Grotle helped [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] train for the [[Lilypad Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. During the training, Grotle demonstrated the strategy he learned in the battle with Palmer's Rhyperior of swallowing his own Energy Ball to gain power. Mamoswine mirrored the motion by swallowing its own {{m|Ice Shard}}, which in turn caused ice to form on its back as an appeal.

In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Grotle was used in Ash's first Gym battle against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Luxray}} where, despite having the type-advantage, it started to get overwhelmed, before the battle was canceled due to the [[Sunyshore Gym|Gym]] losing power. Later, Grotle was called out to battle Team Rocket inside the [[Sunyshore Tower]], and he quickly evolved into a {{p|Torterra}}. Along with his new and more powerful form, Torterra immediately learned Leaf Storm and sent Team Rocket blasting off.
[[File:Bertha Hippowdon Fire Fang.png|thumb|250px|Torterra battling Bertha's Hippowdon]]
In ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', Torterra battled [[Bertha]]'s {{p|Hippowdon}}. Despite managing to predict where Hippowdon's {{m|Dig}} would resurface and landing a super effective Leaf Storm on it, Torterra was eventually overwhelmed by that [[Elite Four]]-level Pokémon and got defeated by a super effective {{m|Fire Fang}}.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Ash used Torterra as his first Pokémon during his rematch with Volkner, sending him against Volkner's {{p|Electivire}}. Despite Torterra's massive type advantage, Electivire was able to counter almost all of his moves and defeat him with a powerful {{m|Ice Punch}}.

Ash used Torterra as his fifth Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. He was sent out against Paul's {{p|Drapion}}, whose {{m|Toxic Spikes}} {{status|poison}}ed him instantly. He battled well and was able to cause Drapion some damage with his Energy Ball and Leaf Storm attacks, but his Rock Climb attack was stopped cold by Drapion, who proceeded to knock him down with {{m|Poison Fang}}. Torterra healed himself with Synthesis, but despite this, he was immediately defeated by Drapion's super effective {{m|Pin Missile}} barrage.

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

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Torterra was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash and Torterra.png|thumb|250px|left|Torterra and Ash]]
Torterra appeared in a flashback of Ash's Gym battle with Volkner in ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]''.

Torterra, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he was seen relaxing with {{AP|Scraggy}} and later watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Torterra watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Torterra appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].

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

In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Torterra was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, he was called upon to help free a trapped {{p|Wailord}}. Using his {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, Torterra grabbed hold of Wailord and was able to help free it, receiving help from Team Rocket's submarine.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Grotle defense.png|thumb|220px|As a Grotle, using his strong defense to block an attack]]
As a Turtwig, Torterra was very brave. Similarly to [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], he helped take care of sick or injured Pokémon and kept the peace between them. If there was feud between other Pokémon, Turtwig would be the mannered one and break them up. He could be a little reckless at times, ignoring Ash's commands to dodge in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]''. He was quite stubborn and would not give up, no matter how hard the challenge, another trait he shared with Bulbasaur. He was also quite affectionate, latching on to Ash's head as a Turtwig.

After evolving into Grotle, he became a lot less active due to his weight gain, still battling well but taking things slowly. His strategy for battle changed as a result, focusing more on tanking hits over dodging them, something he struggled to accept until getting help from [[Paul's Torterra]]. As he grew and evolved, Torterra became quite serious in everything he did and never had any issues listening to Ash's commands, unlike when he was still Turtwig and Grotle.

==Trivia==
* The [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured at the end of [[DP016]] is about Ash's Turtwig. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about him: 「ナエトルは　あたまにはっぱ　はえとるぞ」 "''{{tt|Naetle|Turtwig}} has leaves growing on its head.''"
* Torterra, as a Turtwig, is the first of Ash's Pokémon to [[evolution|evolve]] while battling one of his [[rival]]s.
* Grotle's evolution into Torterra was first revealed in [[The Greatest - Everyday!]].
* After fully evolving, Torterra was defeated in every battle he participated in without defeating any opposing Pokémon, with the exception of battles against {{TRT}}.
* During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Ash used Torterra (or one of his previous forms) in four of his six battles against [[Paul]]. Despite this, Torterra is the only Pokémon Ash used against Paul in those battles that has never knocked out any of Paul's Pokémon. This also makes Torterra the Pokémon that Ash has used against Paul the most times.
* Torterra is Ash's first Pokémon to learn an [[HM]] move.
* Torterra is the only Pokémon in the anime to have used the move {{m|Rock Climb}}.
* Torterra is the only Pokémon belonging to a main character to use {{m|Frenzy Plant|one of the elemental variations of Hyper Beam}}.
* Torterra is the latest {{type|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] to evolve under a main character's ownership.
* Torterra is Ash's or {{ashfr|his friends}}' only Grass-type starter Pokémon to have been confirmed male.
* Torterra is Ash's first dual Grass-type Pokémon since his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, which he caught in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', 622 episodes earlier.
* Out of all of Ash's starter Pokémon, Torterra took the longest amount of episodes to reach his final form, at 161.

'''Eelektross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シビルドン''' ''Shibirudon'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eelektrik}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Tynamo}}.

==Biology==
Eelektross is an eel-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a lamprey, with a long tentacle-like, finned limb extending from its head. It has red eyes, a dark blue body, and possesses clawed, paddle-like arms with yellow spots and yellow-and-red palms. It has a beige fin on the upper portion of its body and beige fin-like legs below.

It lives in the ocean, but it crawls ashore using its arms in order to hunt. It latches onto prey with its sucker mouth and shocks them with electricity from its fangs, before dragging them as it returns into the ocean.

===Evolution===
Eelektross evolves from {{p|Eelektrik}} and is the final form of {{p|Tynamo}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms were designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

* Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with no [[type]] weaknesses, ever since the pokemon type [[fairy]] came.
* Eelektross's White, Black 2, White 2, X and Omega Ruby Pokédex entries mention that Eelektross can use its fangs to shock its prey with electricity. Despite this, Eelektross did not learn {{m|Thunder Fang}} until [[Generation IX]].

===Origin===
Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are based on eels,<ref name="ND205" /> perhaps specifically the {{wp|electric eel}} (which is actually a type of {{wp|knifefish}}, despite its name). They may also be based on {{wp|lamprey}}s and {{wp|leech}}es. Its {{t|Electric}} typing may be an allusion to {{wp|bioelectrogenesis}}. The way it moves in the air with open mouth may come from {{wp|windsock}}s.

====Name origin====
Eelektross may be a combination of ''eel'', ''electric'', and possibly ''boss'' or ''gross''.

Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ ''shibire'' (numbness) or 痺鰻 ''shibire-unagi'' (electric eel) and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends are on their way to the Battle Frontier, and Misty joins them for a while as she heads back to Cerulean City. But Daisy calls to ask if she can start giving away Gym Badges—Misty just can't get a break! Brock has left his Ludicolo at home, May is delighted with her new Squirtle, and Max is eager to see Pokémon that live on nearby Mt. Moon, like Cleffa. Sure enough, a Cleffa appears.

So does Team Rocket and their Poké-Vac 5000, which manages to vacuum up all of the kids' Pokémon except for Pikachu. Except Team Rocket accidentally ejects the Pokémon right back out, the Poké-Vac breaks, and in the confusion as Team Rocket blasts off, Cleffa, Misty, Max, Pikachu, and Azurill all fall in a river!

Misty and Max get back onto dry land and start to look for their friends. Easier said than done, as they run from Beedrill and take cover from a rainstorm. Meanwhile, a Clefairy and Clefable team up with Ash and May to find Cleffa. Just as they find Misty, Team Rocket shows up to spoil the reunion.

Clefairy, Clefable, and Cleffa call for backup, and Team Rocket is on the receiving end of a super-powerful Metronome—Solarbeam combo, with Munchlax on the assist. That's it for Team Rocket until next time! That night, Ash and his friends watch a Pokémon moondance, and in the morning he and Misty go their separate ways once more.

==Plot==
On the way to the first {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} [[Battle facility|facility]], the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop to have a picnic at the foot of [[Mt. Moon]]. Ash notices that {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} is missing, and {{an|Brock}} reveals that he left it at [[Pewter City|home]] since {{Brocksib|his brothers and sisters}} got along with it. Suddenly, {{an|Misty}} gets a call on her [[Pokégear]] from her sister {{an|Daisy}}, who reports that the [[Cerulean Gym]] is packed with challengers eager to earn their [[Badge]]s. Daisy wonders if they can just hand out the {{Badge|Cascade}}s in the meantime, though Misty nixes that idea and orders her sisters to be patient before she get home. With that, the group packs up and prepares to head toward [[Cerulean City]]. Before departing, they encounter a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Cleffa}}.

{{TRT}} suddenly appears and traps the group's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a {{TP|Team Rocket|vacuum machine|mechas}} attached to the basket of their {{p|Meowth}} balloon. They eventually succeed, but do not get {{AP|Pikachu}}. [[Jessie]] sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, who manages to land a {{m|Poison Tail}} on Pikachu before he can use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. {{MTR}} sets the vacuum to full power, but due to Jessie's impatient tampering, the machine reverses the suction and returns all the captured Pokémon back to the [[twerp]]s. Jessie's continued interference causes the machine to malfunction and explode, blasting Misty, [[Max]], Pikachu, {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} and Cleffa off a cliff and into a river. {{an|May}} tries to grab Max's hand, but fails.

After climbing out of the river, Misty and Max find that Pikachu is weak from the {{status|poison}} he received from Seviper's Poison Tail. Max worryingly affirms that there isn't a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby, though Misty has her Azurill use {{m|Refresh}}, which heals Pikachu. Meanwhile, Ash, May, and Brock are searching for the others with the help of {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}'s radar, but the search fails. Misty's group also sets out to find Ash's group, and suddenly Cleffa runs off to a [[Pecha Berry]] tree. Misty gives one to Pikachu before they all sit down on a large cloth to feast on the Berries. Suddenly, three {{p|Beedrill}} suddenly appear out of the bushes, scaring Misty. She runs off with Max, the cloth full of Berries, and the party's Pokémon in tow. They accidentally run off a cliff and fall into in a forested area. Luckily, they are saved from serious injury when they land on a large patch of thick, soft moss. A storm begins to form, frightening Cleffa, so they wait it out in a nearby cave. Meanwhile, Ash's group is taking shelter under a tree, with Cleffa's friends {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}} standing nearby. After finishing off the Pecha Berries, the Pokémon sleep as Misty and Max have a conversation about older sisters. Misty proposes that they both keep helping their sisters, even when they don't think they need it, and Max heartily agrees. They see that the storm has cleared and resume their search for Ash and the others. May, Ash and Brock do the same, soon finding fresh footprints from Misty's group and follow them.

As Misty and Max continue their search, Team Rocket attacks again with their vacuum machine. Max is about to be sucked up, but suddenly May appears and grabs his hand in time to rescue him. Ash, Brock, Clefairy and Clefable also run onto the scene and are relieved to see everyone is safe. May and Max call Team Rocket out, so the trio respond with their {{motto}} and switch their vacuum machine back on. Azurill quickly uses {{m|Bubble}}, which is sucked into the machine instead and causes it to explode, sending the trio plummeting to the ground. Team Rocket attack with Seviper and [[James's Cacnea]], but Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable call their friends, who appear and begin using {{m|Metronome}}. [[May's Munchlax]] escapes from its {{i|Poké Ball}} and begins to wave its arms with the Clefairy. The Cleffa use {{m|Splash}}, causing Team Rocket's Pokémon to bounce up and down. The Clefable use {{m|Teeter Dance}}, causing all of Team Rocket dance as well. Team Rocket aren't affected by this until Meowth realizes that it was only a distraction so Munchlax and the Clefairy could power up {{m|Solar Beam}}. Jessie and [[James]] order Seviper and Cacnea to attack with Poison Tail and {{m|Needle Arm}}, but Pikachu stops them with Thunderbolt. Having been given the time to charge, Munchlax and the Clefairy fire their Solar Beams, sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Afterwards Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable march off to Mt. Moon. Misty mentions that since tonight will have a full moon, they are probably going to [[EP006|perform a moon dance]]. Brock explains to May and Max that the Cleffa evolution family dance around a giant [[Moon Stone]] on Mt. Moon. When Max asks if they can go watch, Brock says they likely can, as the Fairy Pokémon now trust them. Ash and friends follow them and watch the Pokémon perform their ritual dance around the Moon Stone, instantly putting a smile on everyone's faces. The following morning, Daisy calls Misty once again, demanding to know where she is. Misty tells her that she will be home shortly, ending the call. Misty has to take the other fork in the road, so she and Azurill leave Ash's group to return to Cerulean City not before wishing Ash and May all the best with the Battle Frontier and [[Pokémon Contest]]s respectively. She reconfirms with Max that both will continue to help their older sisters.

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends are on their way to the Battle Frontier, and Misty joins them for a while as she heads back to Cerulean City. But Daisy calls to ask if she can start giving away Gym Badges—Misty just can't get a break! Brock has left his Ludicolo at home, May is delighted with her new Squirtle, and Max is eager to see Pokémon that live on nearby Mt. Moon, like Cleffa. Sure enough, a Cleffa appears.

So does Team Rocket and their Poké-Vac 5000, which manages to vacuum up all of the kids' Pokémon except for Pikachu. Except Team Rocket accidentally ejects the Pokémon right back out, the Poké-Vac breaks, and in the confusion as Team Rocket blasts off, Cleffa, Misty, Max, Pikachu, and Azurill all fall in a river!

Misty and Max get back onto dry land and start to look for their friends. Easier said than done, as they run from Beedrill and take cover from a rainstorm. Meanwhile, a Clefairy and Clefable team up with Ash and May to find Cleffa. Just as they find Misty, Team Rocket shows up to spoil the reunion.

Clefairy, Clefable, and Cleffa call for backup, and Team Rocket is on the receiving end of a super-powerful Metronome—Solarbeam combo, with Munchlax on the assist. That's it for Team Rocket until next time! That night, Ash and his friends watch a Pokémon moondance, and in the morning he and Misty go their separate ways once more.

==Plot==
On the way to the first {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} [[Battle facility|facility]], the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop to have a picnic at the foot of [[Mt. Moon]]. Ash notices that {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} is missing, and {{an|Brock}} reveals that he left it at [[Pewter City|home]] since {{Brocksib|his brothers and sisters}} got along with it. Suddenly, {{an|Misty}} gets a call on her [[Pokégear]] from her sister {{an|Daisy}}, who reports that the [[Cerulean Gym]] is packed with challengers eager to earn their [[Badge]]s. Daisy wonders if they can just hand out the {{Badge|Cascade}}s in the meantime, though Misty nixes that idea and orders her sisters to be patient before she get home. With that, the group packs up and prepares to head toward [[Cerulean City]]. Before departing, they encounter a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Cleffa}}.

{{TRT}} suddenly appears and traps the group's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a {{TP|Team Rocket|vacuum machine|mechas}} attached to the basket of their {{p|Meowth}} balloon. They eventually succeed, but do not get {{AP|Pikachu}}. [[Jessie]] sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, who manages to land a {{m|Poison Tail}} on Pikachu before he can use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. {{MTR}} sets the vacuum to full power, but due to Jessie's impatient tampering, the machine reverses the suction and returns all the captured Pokémon back to the [[twerp]]s. Jessie's continued interference causes the machine to malfunction and explode, blasting Misty, [[Max]], Pikachu, {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} and Cleffa off a cliff and into a river. {{an|May}} tries to grab Max's hand, but fails.

After climbing out of the river, Misty and Max find that Pikachu is weak from the {{status|poison}} he received from Seviper's Poison Tail. Max worryingly affirms that there isn't a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby, though Misty has her Azurill use {{m|Refresh}}, which heals Pikachu. Meanwhile, Ash, May, and Brock are searching for the others with the help of {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}'s radar, but the search fails. Misty's group also sets out to find Ash's group, and suddenly Cleffa runs off to a [[Pecha Berry]] tree. Misty gives one to Pikachu before they all sit down on a large cloth to feast on the Berries. Suddenly, three {{p|Beedrill}} suddenly appear out of the bushes, scaring Misty. She runs off with Max, the cloth full of Berries, and the party's Pokémon in tow. They accidentally run off a cliff and fall into in a forested area. Luckily, they are saved from serious injury when they land on a large patch of thick, soft moss. A storm begins to form, frightening Cleffa, so they wait it out in a nearby cave. Meanwhile, Ash's group is taking shelter under a tree, with Cleffa's friends {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}} standing nearby. After finishing off the Pecha Berries, the Pokémon sleep as Misty and Max have a conversation about older sisters. Misty proposes that they both keep helping their sisters, even when they don't think they need it, and Max heartily agrees. They see that the storm has cleared and resume their search for Ash and the others. May, Ash and Brock do the same, soon finding fresh footprints from Misty's group and follow them.

As Misty and Max continue their search, Team Rocket attacks again with their vacuum machine. Max is about to be sucked up, but suddenly May appears and grabs his hand in time to rescue him. Ash, Brock, Clefairy and Clefable also run onto the scene and are relieved to see everyone is safe. May and Max call Team Rocket out, so the trio respond with their {{motto}} and switch their vacuum machine back on. Azurill quickly uses {{m|Bubble}}, which is sucked into the machine instead and causes it to explode, sending the trio plummeting to the ground. Team Rocket attack with Seviper and [[James's Cacnea]], but Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable call their friends, who appear and begin using {{m|Metronome}}. [[May's Munchlax]] escapes from its {{i|Poké Ball}} and begins to wave its arms with the Clefairy. The Cleffa use {{m|Splash}}, causing Team Rocket's Pokémon to bounce up and down. The Clefable use {{m|Teeter Dance}}, causing all of Team Rocket dance as well. Team Rocket aren't affected by this until Meowth realizes that it was only a distraction so Munchlax and the Clefairy could power up {{m|Solar Beam}}. Jessie and [[James]] order Seviper and Cacnea to attack with Poison Tail and {{m|Needle Arm}}, but Pikachu stops them with Thunderbolt. Having been given the time to charge, Munchlax and the Clefairy fire their Solar Beams, sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Afterwards Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable march off to Mt. Moon. Misty mentions that since tonight will have a full moon, they are probably going to [[EP006|perform a moon dance]]. Brock explains to May and Max that the Cleffa evolution family dance around a giant [[Moon Stone]] on Mt. Moon. When Max asks if they can go watch, Brock says they likely can, as the Fairy Pokémon now trust them. Ash and friends follow them and watch the Pokémon perform their ritual dance around the Moon Stone, instantly putting a smile on everyone's faces. The following morning, Daisy calls Misty once again, demanding to know where she is. Misty tells her that she will be home shortly, ending the call. Misty has to take the other fork in the road, so she and Azurill leave Ash's group to return to Cerulean City not before wishing Ash and May all the best with the Battle Frontier and [[Pokémon Contest]]s respectively. She reconfirms with Max that both will continue to help their older sisters.

Kimmy Shoney

Pborri:

[[File:Kimmy Shoney.png|thumb|250px|Kimmy Shoney]]
'''Kimmy Shoney''' (Japanese: '''ショウギ・ケイマ''' ''Keima Shōgi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]''. He lives on [[Giban Island]] with his parents, [[Korban and Harmony Shoney]].

Kimmy was upset when he met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. His {{p|Linoone}}, Tokin, had been stealing round objects for no obvious reason, including {{i|Poké Ball}}s that contained two of {{an|May}}'s Pokémon.

Kimmy couldn't figure out what was going on with his Pokémon until {{TRT}} tried to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Linoone chased after the balloon. Kimmy remembered how he and Tokin used to play catch before it [[Evolution|evolved]], and that it was just trying to have some fun. After Pikachu was saved and Team Rocket was sent blasting off, Kimmy promised to pay more attention to his Pokémon and to start playing with it again.

Using his [[Pokédex]], he discovered what it was. They visited the Shoney household to see if they had seen a Linoone and it was revealed that it is Kimmy's, named '''Tokin''' (Japanese: '''トキンちゃん''' ''Tokin-chan'').

It was revealed that Tokin has an obsession with round objects and has a large collection in its shed. They looked inside for May's Poké Balls but were unable to find them. Tokin used to be a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and it would play fetch with Kimmy, using its Poké Ball, but it took things too far. The group looked around the forest and in trees to try to find May's Poké Balls. {{TRT}} decided they would steal Tokin for the [[Boss fantasy|Boss]].

Suddenly, Tokin was spotted with May's Poké Balls in its mouth, but was immediately captured by Team Rocket. Kimmy tried to save Tokin but was badly hurt. {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Iron Tail}} to break the net, but Team Rocket captured Pikachu too. Linoone however targeted at Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], as it is round, and was able to save Pikachu and send Team Rocket blasting off. Kimmy decided to spend more time with Tokin from now on, making Tokin happy.

Tokin's known moves are {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and its Ability is {{a|Pickup}}.}}

* Kimmy's Japanese family name comes from the traditional Japanese game {{wp|Shogi}}, also known as Japanese Chess, while his first name comes from 桂馬 ''keima'' (knight), one of the figures from that game.

** Tokin's name is also similar to the word ''token'', which may refer to its tendency to pick up items.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pborri: Undo revision 3843772 by Pborri (talk)

:''Look-alike redirects here. For the lookalike items in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], see [[Lookalike Item]].''
{{search|characters in the {{pkmn|anime}} who deliberately resemble other characters|information about character designs which are reused in the anime|Anime character recycling}}
A '''{{wp|doppelgänger}}''' is a double or lookalike of another person. Various characters in the {{pkmn|anime}} are doppelgängers of main characters.

==Arnold==
[[File:Arnold.png|thumb|250px|Arnold and his mother]]

{{main|Arnold}}
Arnold is a doppelgänger of {{Ash}} who appeared in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''. As he disappeared three days before the events of the episode, [[Arnold's mother|his mother]] initially mistook Ash to be her son and embraced him in a hug before realizing her mistake.
{{-}}

==Jessebelle==
[[File:Jessebelle.png|thumb|250px|Jessebelle]]
{{main|Jessebelle}}
Jessebelle is a doppelgänger of [[Jessie]], who appeared in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'' and ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]''. She was [[James]]'s {{wp|fiancé (disambiguation)|fiancé}}; however, when James was exposed to her less than agreeable personality, he ran away from home in order to escape her attentions. She has returned several times with the cooperation of [[James's parents]] to try to make him see the error of his ways and marry her.
{{-}}

==Travis==
[[File:Travis.png|thumb|250px|Travis and his Pikachu]]
{{main|Travis}}
Travis is another doppelgänger of {{Ash}}, who appeared in flashback in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. As with Arnold, Ash's first encounter with [[Luana|his mother]] was an unexpected hug due to mistaken identity. However, in this case, Travis had simply left on a Pokémon journey and the fact that both were traveling with a {{p|Pikachu}} had helped cause the misunderstanding.
{{-}}

==Mansion Owner==
The Mansion Owner is a minor character who was only shown in the episode ''[[EP232|Just Waiting on a Friend!]]'' in a portrait and flashback. He is the owner of the Ninetales that lived in the mansion, and he also bears a very close resemblance to Brock, which Ninetales used to her gain so he would stay with it in the mansion, even making an illusion of putting his own outfit on Brock. The Mansion Owner left on a journey two centuries ago, but never came back, leaving Ninetales all alone after the servants left. He also wrote an entry in his diary which Ash and Misty discovered.

==Team Righteous==
[[File:Team Righteous.png|thumb|250px|Team Righteous]]
{{main|Team Righteous}}
Team Righteous are doppelgängers of [[Jessie]] and [[James]] who appeared in a video in ''[[HS03|We're No Angels!]]''. Unlike other doppelgängers, they are fictional characters who had a television show a long time ago. They even had their own {{p|Meowth}} who was just a person in a costume. Unlike {{TRT}}, they fight for good instead of evil.
{{-}}

==Max==
[[File:Max AG049.png|thumb|250px|Max]]
{{main|Max (AG049)|Max}}
Max is a doppelgänger of [[Max]], who appeared in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. The doppelgänger Max had a more central role in this episode than both of Ash's look-a-likes and got in a fight with his same-named lookalike as they both felt jealous thinking that the other was already a Trainer. Later on, the two discovered that they have more similarities than their name and appearance and became friends.
{{-}}

==Harley's classmate==
[[File:The girl resembling May.png|thumb|250px|The girl resembling May]]
According to [[Harley]] in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', he had a classmate as a child, who looked similar to {{an|May}}. She took his lunch from him, and he explained to {{TRT}} that she was the reason he hated May so much. It has been debated whether the girl existed or was just made up by Harley to get Team Rocket on his side. There was no mention of her when Harley [[AG103|first met May]] and she would contradict the original reason of Harley's grudge.
{{-}}

==Princess Salvia==
[[File:Salvia.png|thumb|250px|Princess Salvia]]
{{main|Princess Salvia}}
Princess Salvia is a doppelgänger of {{an|Dawn}}, appearing in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''. She swapped places with Dawn in a plotline reminiscent of ''{{wp|The Prince and the Pauper}}'', taking part in the [[Arrowroot Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] with her {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} while Dawn pretended to be a member of the high class. This worked until Dawn discovered that Princess Salvia was expected to watch the final match of the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] and ended up shouting encouragement to her lookalike. Princess Salvia later gave Togekiss to Dawn so it could continue taking part in Pokémon Contests.
{{-}}

==Kiawe's friend==
[[File:Ash lookalike SM022.png|thumb|250px|The boy resembling Ash Ketchum]]
According to {{an|Kiawe}} in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', he had a friend who resembles {{Ash}}. Both of them and their other friends mistook a {{p|Sandygast}} for a shovel.
{{-}}

==Ultra Ruin student==
[[File:Ultra Ruin past Litten.png|thumb|250px|The boy resembling Ash Ketchum]]
In a flashback of {{al|Dia}}'s home world in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} resembling {{Ash}} was revealed to once be a resident of what is now the [[Ultra Ruin]]. Elements of {{ga|Red}}, Ash's {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, are also included in this Trainer's design. {{-}}

==Soleil==
[[File:Soleil.png|thumb|250px|Soleil]]
{{main|Soleil}}
Soleil is a girl from [[Johto]] and a doppelgänger of [[Chloe]], appearing in ''[[JN079|Night and Day, You are the Ones!]]''. She was to be declared the liege of the [[Eclipse Castle]], but when she and Chloe switched around their clothes to fool around with their friends, [[Ilunas]] mistook Chloe for her doppelgänger and kidnapped her. After realizing his mistake, he tried to force Soleil to make him the new liege instead. After Ash and [[Goh]] had found and freed Chloe, she and {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} joined Soleil and her {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} in battling against Ilunas, eventually defeating him. After Soleil had taken on the liegeship of the castle, she made Ilunas her helper.

Lokoko

2023-11-06T21:17:16Z

Pborri:

[[File:Lokoko.png|thumb|250px|Lokoko]]
'''Lokoko''' (Japanese: '''ロココ''' ''Rokoko'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On A Friend]]''.

Lokoko lived in a mansion with a {{p|Ninetales}}. {{an|Brock}} fell in love with her, and was considering living with her forever. However, {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} felt that something was odd. Whenever Lokoko went by a mirror, she had no reflection, and whenever they tried to alert Brock to what was happening, Lokoko and Ninetales would get in their way.

After finding an old room in the mansion, they learned that the Ninetales belonged to the owner of the mansion. He left one day two hundred years before, and never returned. Lokoko was an illusion created by the Ninetales.

After a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{TRT}}, Brock learned the truth about Lokoko and Ninetales. The reason they wanted him to stay was due to his resemblance to the mansion's owner. After Ninetales's [[Poké Ball]] was broken in battle, Brock told it to go free. Once it did, the mansion and Lokoko disappeared.

==Blurb==

May and Harley face off in the main competition of the Grand Festival! It's Harley's Banette and Cacturne against May's Beautifly and Bulbasaur. May's team gets in the first hits, but Harley makes a comeback and it takes some quick thinking for May to beat Harley and move onto the semifinals.

Elsewhere, Jessie wants to impersonate a coordinator and sneak into the competition. Team Rocket decides to kidnap Robert, but Ash interrupts them as they make their move. Snorunt is hit by Team Rocket's Pokémon and evolves into a Glalie! Jessie thinks it's adorable, James thinks it's creepy, but either way, Glalie easily sends them packing.

Back on the stage, May defeats Anthony's Pinsir and Combusken, but her next opponent will be an even greater challenge: Drew! And Drew has brought a Flygon he trained especially for the competition. Flygon and Roselia are up against Combusken and Skitty. It's a close fight but Roselia hits May's Pokémon with Stun Spore, followed by a Steel Wing from Flygon, and takes the win.

Now it's Drew and Robert in the finals. To May's surprise, Robert earns the victory and wins the Festival. But Drew isn't upset—that night, even though there's a party, he goes right back to training. Impressed by his example, May sets her sights on next year's Grand Festival!

==Plot==
[[Harley]] starts his {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|May}} by having his {{p|Banette}} use {{m|Screech}}, while his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Both hit their marks and lower May's points. May has {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} attack with {{m|Vine Whip}}; Harley's Pokémon try to dodge it, but Bulbasaur grabs onto their legs. Beautifly uses {{m|Silver Wind}} that lowers Harley's points. Bulbasaur releases its grip on Cacturne and Banette, which sends them both spinning. Beautifly whips up another Silver Wind, accelerating the spinning and leaving both of Harley's Pokémon dizzy. The dazzling combination earns high praise from the judges as Harley's points fall below half. May calls for Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip again, but Banette counters with {{m|Torment}}, halting the attack cold. {{Ash}} is confused why Bulbasaur stopped, leaving [[Max]] to explain that Torment blocks your opponent from using the same move twice in a row, leaving {{an|Brock}} to comment that May must now mix things up.

Cacturne fires {{m|Pin Missile}} at Bulbasaur, but Beautifly carries Bulbasaur high into the air, leaving Harley's attack a miss. Banette fires {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which manages to score a hit on both of May's Pokémon, but Bulbasaur uses {{m|Petal Dance}}, which combines with Will-O-Wisp to create sparkling dust all over the field, costing Harley more points. Cacturne retaliates with another Pin Missile which begins shredding the petals, but Bulbasaur and Beautifly are unharmed, and they retaliate with a Silver Wind and Razor Leaf combination that knocks out both Cacturne and Banette. Harley's points drop to zero as a result, and May moves on to the next stage. As he storms off in defeat, Harley tells [[Drew]] that he's probably happy to see him lose to May. Drew responds that May was just better than him, and Harley declares that he will be happy once he sees both of them lose.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is still set on becoming [[Top Coordinator]] even without any [[Ribbon]]s. [[James]] suggests that {{ho|Robert}} is their best chance, and they watch as he steps outside before ambushing him with a rope cannon. Ash arrives and has {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to free Robert from the rope. {{TRT}} recites their {{motto}} before calling out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to attack. {{AP|Snorunt}} tries to use {{m|Ice Beam}}. but it fails while everyone laughs at it. Robert gives Snorunt some encouragement and advises it to focus its energy in its head to be able to aim Ice Beam properly. Cacnea uses Pin Missile and Dustox uses {{m|Psybeam}} towards Pikachu, but Snorunt jumps in front to take the hit and evolves into {{p|Glalie}}. Ash scans Glalie with the [[Pokédex]]. James and Meowth are unsettled by Glalie's fierce glare, but Jessie oddly finds Glalie beautiful. Robert suggests to Ash to test out Glalie's Ice Beam. Glalie follows suit, using Ice Beam to freeze Team Rocket and send them blasting off. Jessie is angered that her dreams of becoming Top Coordinator have been shattered yet again, to which Meowth sarcastically replies that if she ''really'' wants something to be shattered to wait until they land.

In the second stage and with thirty seconds remaining, [[May's Combusken]] and Bulbasaur face off against {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}} with {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Pinsir}}. Anthony has only one-fourths of his score while May still has half of hers. Combusken tries to use {{m|Peck}} but Pinsir emerges from Swalot's mouth to pinch Combusken's beak shut. Time runs out, but May has the most points remaining and moves on to the third stage. Anthony respectfully congratulates May on the win and wishes her luck in the next stage. The third stage match ups are soon revealed, and May will face off against Drew.

In the third stage, May chooses Combusken and {{TP|May|Skitty}} while Drew selects [[Drew's Roselia]] and a {{p|Flygon}}. Brock and Max are stunned by Drew's newest Pokémon while Ash looks it up in his Pokédex. May is surprised to see a Flygon, and Drew remarks that this match is its debut appearance, stating he raised Flygon specifically to battle against May in the Grand Festival. Roselia begins with a sparkling Petal Dance while Flygon flies right through it to attack. Skitty counters with {{m|Assist}} which comes out as {{m|Fire Spin}} and burns the opponents' combination. Combusken uses {{m|Sky Uppercut}} but misses its target and falls back onto Skitty. Flygon uses {{m|Flamethrower}} and Roselia unleashes a {{m|Solar Beam}} towards their opponents while May has Combusken use Fire Spin to push the combined attacks away. The failure of his massive attack combination costs Drew serious points, putting May in the lead. Combusken uses Fire Spin again while Flygon counters with {{m|Sandstorm}} which blows the attack away. Skitty aims a {{m|Blizzard}}, though Roselia jumps on top of Flygon to fly away and dodge it. May's points suffer from having both of her attacks fail.

Putting her trust in its unpredictability, May orders an Assist attack from Skitty, which turns into a Vine Whip, but it misses Flygon. Undeterred, May declares Vine Whip to be just what she needs, and orders Combusken use the Vine Whip to jump high into the air. Roselia calls for a {{m|Magical Leaf}} which Skitty blows away with {{m|Blizzard}}. Flygon uses Flamethrower, but it is exactly what May wanted to happen. May has Combusken dive into the flames towards Flygon and smashes it with Sky Uppercut. [[Caroline]] is overcome with joy at seeing her daughter work so well with Pokémon. [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] gives May praise while [[Norman#In_the_anime|Norman]] watches from [[Petalburg City]] with pride. However, with little time and Drew still holding the lead, May can only hope for a knockout to win the round. She calls for Skitty to use {{m|Tackle}} and Combusken to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Roselia replies with a {{m|Stun Spore}} that hits and {{status|Paralysis|paralyses}} the pair. Flygon finishes the match off with {{m|Steel Wing}}. The five minutes is up, and Drew is declared the winner. May is upset by the loss but puts on a brave face as she checks on her Pokémon. The crowd begins cheering for May and her wonderful performance, though the applause infuriates Harley who declares that there is no justice in the world.

Drew faces Robert in the final stage, and he is losing by a lot of points. {{p|Milotic}} uses {{m|Twister}} while {{p|Claydol}} rushes through the Twister and attacks Masquerain and Roselia with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, before Milotic finished them off with {{m|Iron Tail}}. With the win, Robert becomes a Top Coordinator and wins the coveted [[Ribbon Cup]]. During the awards ceremony, May says to Drew that she's sorry he lost, but Drew isn't bothered by the loss and tells her that it seems to him there will always be someone better.

Later that night, an after-party takes place to celebrate the conclusion of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. May sits down after eating a lot, looks behind her and wonders where the flashing lights are coming from. She locates the source, and it is Drew continuing to practice his Contest techniques. Drew remarks that Robert is also training so no one will get ahead of him, hence why he became the Top Coordinator. Drew explains that if May wants to become a Top Coordinator, she has to keep practicing and getting better. He admits that he looks forward to the next Grand Festival and also expects May to be there. He promptly walks off, leaving May speechless. Ash offers May a vanilla ice cream cone but startles her in the process. Caroline realizes the pair were momentarily alone and suggests there might be a romantic connection. May sharply reminds her that she and Drew are just friends. She admits that Drew did give her something to consider however, admitting that she is planning on not giving up until she becomes a Top Coordinator. Caroline is very proud of her daughter's new ambition but reminds May that now she has to support Ash as he tries to become the next [[Hoenn League]] Champion.

==Trivia==
* This episode concludes the three-part [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] arc.
* This is the last episode in which [[Drew's Roselia]] keeps its Japanese voice in the English [[dub]].
* The episode's English dub title is most likely a reference to {{wp|George Gershwin}}'s famous composition ''{{wp|Rhapsody in Blue}}''.
* [[Advance Adventure]], [[Ready Go!]], [[OK!]], and music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' are used as background music.

===Errors===
* During the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{an|May}} and [[Harley]], {{an|Brock}} says that "{{p|Bulbasaur}} cannot use {{m|Vine Whip}} for ''awhile'' now", after {{p|Banette}} uses {{m|Torment}}. Torment only prevents a Pokémon from using the same move twice in a row.
* In one part of the episode, May says "{{TP|May|Combusken}}, use jump!", which is not a move.
* After defeating Harley, [[Vivian Meridian]] says that May will be moving on to the semifinals, but in reality, she was moving on to the Top 16.
* When [[Drew]] is watching May and Harley's battle, the time counter goes from 4:01 to 3:00 to 3:59.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, Banette and Cacturne's eyes turn into X's after being spun around. In the English dub, their eyes were changed to sideways-facing arrows. This also occurs with Cacnea when Team Rocket is blasted off.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, what is the final evolution of {{p|Geodude}}?
* Choices: {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Golem}}, {{p|Regirock}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose Golem, you were right!

'''Caroline''' (Japanese: '''ミツコ''' ''Mitsuko'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is the [[mother]] of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the wife of [[Norman]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Young Norman and Caroline.png|thumb|left|250px|Caroline when [[Norman]] proposed to her]]
Caroline debuted in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''. She tried to help {{an|May}} rescue her {{TP|May|Torchic}} from {{TRT}}.

In ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', Caroline had become upset and suspicious of her husband because he had been spending time with the local [[Nurse Joy]]. As it turned out, Nurse Joy had been helping Norman set up a fireworks display for his and Caroline's wedding anniversary. When Caroline realized this, she immediately apologized and reassured Norman that she loved him. Beautifly hold a special place in Caroline's heart, since Norman proposed to her in a flower and Beautifly-filled meadow.

Later, in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', she watched Ash's official match against Norman. Caroline provided commentary and explained her husband's battling strategy to May, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}}.

Caroline is probably a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. In a flashback in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', she was seen holding a {{i|Poké Ball}}. In this flashback, May had been wearing a blue swimming cap in the ocean and Caroline mistook her for a Tentacool from afar. This is when Caroline pulled out her Poké Ball, in an attempt to catch the "Tentacool" that was really May. She made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', where she watched Ash competing in the Ever Grande Conference.

Caroline joined Ash and {{ashfr}} in [[Slateport City]] to watch May compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] from ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'' to ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. She also called May in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''. Caroline also reappeared in other flashbacks in ''[[AG114|Date Expectations!]]'' and ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

Caroline welcomed her children home in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', following May's participation in the Hoenn Grand Festival and Ash's efforts in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. By ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', both May and Max had left home again to rejoin Ash in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. However, May left behind her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}} to keep Caroline company.

Her final appearances saw her contacting May at the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', and watching her in the [[Wallace Cup]] on television in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

===Character===
Caroline serves as the homemaker of the family, providing home-cooked lunches for her husband [[Norman]]. However, Caroline has been shown to direct Norman to do the groceries and to talk to Max whenever he misbehaves. The pair have a very strong and supportive relationship, though ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'' did expose Caroline's frustration with Norman's naivety, secrecy, and mysterious disappearances. Suspecting that he was being unfaithful, she intended to leave the family home, but these feelings were quickly quashed when Norman revealed that, with [[Nurse Joy]]'s assistance, he had been designing a special {{p|Beautifly}}-shaped fireworks display to commemorate their anniversary.

{{an|May}} and [[Max]] often referenced their mother's gentle nature and cooking while traveling with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. In ''[[M06|Pokémon: Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', May helped get Max to sleep with a lullaby from their childhood, usually sung by their mother, Caroline.

She is immensely supportive and interested in her children's ambitions, and makes an effort to thank their friends. She likes to see the best in people, as in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', where she greeted {{TRT}} after they blew a hole in the [[Petalburg Gym]]'s walls. This was seen again in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', where she was glad to see [[Harley]], assuming they were all May's friends despite the others' warnings.

Caroline and May are alike in many aspects: both have similar personalities and are particularly fond of the Pokémon {{p|Beautifly}}. Caroline traveled from her home in Petalburg to [[Slateport City]], where the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] was being hosted, to watch May compete. With Max, however, their relationship differs slightly: she referred to Max as a handful, thanks to his temper tantrums and overwhelming excitement, in ''There's no Place Like Hoenn''. Despite this, she cares deeply for her son and was overjoyed to see him return home briefly in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'' and again in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. Because of his youth, Caroline keeps a close eye on her son and maintains a complementary tone to balance out Max's blunt criticisms.

She, like the rest of her family, has gained popularity following Norman's new role as the {{ci|Petalburg}} [[Gym Leader]] in neighboring [[North Petalburg]] and is immensely respected by its local residents. However, Caroline's involvement in the Petalburg Gym is limited, as Norman and his assistant {{ho|Kenny}} handle most of the duties and the Pokémon in the greenhouse. Caroline sat and watched Ash's Gym match against Norman in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', and was astutely aware of her husband's battling strategies. She reassured Max that everything was going to be okay and to keep watching after Ash took out Norman's {{p|Slakoth}}. She was particularly fascinated by {{AP|Grovyle}}'s {{a|Overgrow}} [[Ability]] and how Ash's determination was challenging Norman's typical battling style.

Pborri: /* Pokémon roles */

[[File:Sarah Natochenny.jpg|thumb|250px|Sarah Natochenny]]
'''Sarah Natochenny''' is an American actress, voice actress, and film editor. She has been the voice of [[Ash Ketchum]] and many others for the English-language dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] since 2006.

==Biography==
Natochenny lives in Manhattan, New York City, New York. She studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. As an actress, film editor and fashion model, she has appeared in international magazine editorials, done several independent films, done a weekly improv show in New York, and walked in NY Fashion Week shows in fall 2008. She speaks fluent Russian, and is learning German and French.

Natochenny joined the {{pkmn|anime}} starting with the redub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]], replacing [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]] (and by extension [[Veronica Taylor]]) as {{Ash}}. Since then, she has also voiced numerous other roles in the series.

When she first auditioned for the dub, she feared the [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|backlash]] of her replacement as Ash and living up to Taylor's performance, especially since she herself "has the utmost respect for her" and thinks "she's really fantastic at what she does".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW0sinWx2FE?t=16m58s</ref>

She was featured in the ''{{wp|Vanity Fair}}'' video "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B35E8QleVhg How Pokémon Is Dubbed From Japanese To English]", posted in March 2020, where she explained how the anime is dubbed.

Her favorite Pokémon are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Pikachu}}, and her favorite character to voice is {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}.
