'''WiKirby''' is a wiki devoted to the ''{{wk|Kirby (series)|Kirby series}}'' that is part of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]]. It was created on January 24, 2010 by members of the other NIWA wikis, and was officially launched on March 4, 2010. On May 21, 2010, WiKirby joined the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance.

On October 8, 2010, WiKirby announced merger plans with Kirby Wiki, one of the various wikis on the wiki farm Wikia. Plans were mostly inspired by the new mandatory skin. However, the merge was soon cancelled due to lack of initiative.

Since September 6, 2019, WiKirby has elected an {{wk|WiKirby:Editor-in-Chief|Editor-in-Chief}} to operate the wiki as well serve as the representative of WiKirby for NIWA, their server host, alliances, and more. {{wk|User:Samwell|Samwell}} was elected WiKirby's first Editor-in-Chief, followed by {{wk|User:YoshiFlutterJump|YoshiFlutterJump}} on March 30, 2020 and {{wk|User:Gigi|Gigi}} on April 23, 2021.

List of serial code event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)

2022-08-14T10:24:35Z

PinkYoshiFan: /* Pokémon World Championships 2022 Victini */ future tense

This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via the '''[[serial code|Code/Password]]''' mystery gift function or through the [[Poké Ball Plus]] to Pokémon games in [[Generation VIII]]. online most other online activities, an active subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games.

Serial codes are single-use 16 characters long codes that do not use the letters I, O or Z. As in [[Generation VII]], serial codes are still issued with region identifying characteristics, however, unlike during the 3DS era, there are no region locks. Every serial code will work with any valid game regardless of region or language provided the player is connected to the internet and uses a legitimate serial code during the advertised distribution period. The first four characters (the prefixes) of codes are static and correspond to a specific distribution window. The first character of the prefix dictates the origin of the code, which may be relevant in certain distributions where codes of different origins have different validity periods. Specifically:
* Codes that begin with A originate from Asia, specifically {{wp|ASEAN}} countries, {{wp|Taiwan}}, {{wp|Hong Kong}}, or {{wp|Macao}}.
* Codes that begin with E originate from {{wp|Europe}}, the {{wp|Middle East}}, {{wp|Africa}}, or {{wp|Oceania}}.
* Codes that begin with J originate from {{wp|Japan}}.
* Codes that begin with K originate from {{wp|South Korea}}.
* Codes that begin with M originate from [[Pokémon movie]] distributions. These are usually Japanese and allow for multiple codes to be redeemed on the same save file.
* Codes that begin with U originate from the {{wp|United States}} or other countries in the {{wp|Americas}}.

Passwords are common codes that are the same for everyone during a distribution, as such they are almost always limited to 1 redemption per save file. if a password is shorter than 16 characters it can be entered as is or the remaining characters may be filled out with zeroes in order to redeem the gift.

The password was revealed on its official Pokémon Singapore Facebook page on June 18, 2022 at 5:00 (UTC) though it had already been guessed several hours earlier. Players could use the password '''APC2021CHAMP''' to receive it. This Clefairy has 31 [[Individual values|IV]]s in every stat except for {{stat|Attack}} where it has 0. as well as 252 [[Effort values|EV]]s in {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Defense}} as well as 4 in and {{stat|Special Defense}}.

A bug involving Clefairy's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese language game. Clefairy's origin language is set to English, but it is set to have no nickname, causing the game to assign it Clefairy's species name in Korean/Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese. Since its origin language and nickname don't match typesets, Clefairy's nickname will display as "??" when redeemed these languages.

===Marco Hemantha Kaludura Silva's Dracovish===
This Pokémon was distributed from April 22 to 24, 2022 in commemoration of the 2022 European Video Game Championships, based on the {{p|Dracovish}} used by Marco Hemantha Kaludura Silva in the 2020 Oceania International Championships. The password was revealed on its official live stream. Players could use the password '''EU1C2022G1FT''' to receive it. This Dracovish has 31 [[Individual values|IV]]s in every stat as well as 252 [[Effort values|EV]]s in {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} and 4 [[Effort values|EV]]s in {{stat|HP}}. This differs from the Dracovish used by Marco, which had 252 [[Effort values|EVs]] in {{stat|Speed}} and zero in {{stat|Special Defense}}.<ref>https://victoryroadvgc.com/2020/03/15/marcosilva-ocic20-report/</ref>

===Teresa Roca's Hisuian Growlithe===
Two codes, one for 20 [[Feather Ball]]s and another for a Hisuian Growlithe, will be distributed to promote the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} set of the Pokémon TCG at various locations in select countries between February 25 and April 4, 2022. These codes will expire at 06:59 (UTC) on June 1, 2022. If redeemed in an Asian language game (Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese), this Hisuian Growlithe redeems with English language tags instead.

A bug involving Growlithe's nickname occurs if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese language game. Growlithe's origin language will be set to English, but it is set to have no nickname, causing the game to assign it Growlithe's species name in Korean/Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese. Since its origin language and nickname don't match typesets (English-language Pokémon cannot have Korean/Chinese nicknames), Growlithe's nickname will display as "??" when redeemed in Korean, and "???" when redeemed in Simplified or Traditional Chinese.

[[File:Shiny Zacian Zamazenta NA.jpg|thumb|250px|North American promo for Shiny Hero duo]]

These {{Shiny}} Pokémon were distributed for players of various countries who inserted a serial code that was given away at various locations. Both have perfect 31 {{IV}}s in all stats except Special Attack, which is instead 30. These Pokémon were distributed between October 22, 2021 and February 22, 2022 with specific dates varying by region. Owing to the server-side wonder cards being accidentally repealed, it was not possible to redeem these Pokémon during a 4 day period between February 3 and February 7, 2022.

On Western Language games, Zacian has the original trainer Lancer, whereas Zamazenta has the original trainer Arthur. This is a reference to {{wp|Arthurian Legends}} upon which both Pokémon are derived from, Namely {{wp|King Arthur}} and {{wp|Sir Lancelot}}. In Asian Language games, the original trainer is a localised form of "Galar".

Outside of South Korea, Players of Pokémon Sword can receive Shiny Zamazenta, while players of Pokémon Shield can receive Shiny Zacian. Codes obtained from the South Korean distribution can be redeemed in either game. It is possible to redeem both Zacian and Zamazenta on the same game. Each Pokémon is only obtainable once on per save file regardless of code origin.

In Asia (Outside of South Korea), the codes were distributed from October 22 to November 18, 2021. The codes could be redeemed until November 25, 2021.

In South Korea, the codes were given away by pre-ordering {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, or the Double Pack of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The codes could be redeemed from November 19 to December 31, 2021.

In the United States, Shiny {{p|Zacian}} was distributed from October 22 to November 11. In Canada, it was distributed from October 22 to November 4. Meanwhile, Shiny {{p|Zamazenta}} was distributed from November 12 to 26 in the United States, and November 5 to 18 in Canada. In Australia and New Zealand, both Pokémon were distributed from November 19. The codes could redeemed until January 31, 2022.

In Europe, the codes were distributed from October 22 to November 18, 2021. The codes were advertised to expire on December 31, 2021, February 12, 2022 or February 22, 2022 depending on the country. Despite the difference in advertised expiry dates, all European codes used the same code prefix's regardless of the distributing country, and as such were made valid until February 22, 2022, even if the advertised expiry date was earlier.

===Pokémon Adventure 25 Pokémon===
These Pokémon were [https://www.pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/4/10318 distributed] to players in South Korea during the "Pokémon Adventure, Catch the Mythical Pokémon!" (Korean: 포켓몬 어드벤처, 환상의 포켓몬을 잡아라!) campaign that ran from April 26 to September 30, 2021.

===Singapore Pokémon Center Birthday Milcery===
[https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon.official.Singapore/posts/2749338525393059 These] Milcery were distributed via [[serial code]] to players of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] at the {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store located in the 4th floor of the Jewel mall at Changi Airport from November 6, 2020 until October 31, 2021 if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch.

As both Pokémon share the same Wonder Card ID, only 1 of the 2 Milcery (either holding a [[Ribbon Sweet]] or a [[Star Sweet]]) could be redeemed on a single save file.

===Japan Pokémon Center Birthday Milcery===
[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2020/10/201016_p01.html These] Milcery were distributed via [[serial code]] to players of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores and [[Pokémon Store]]s in Japan from November 1, 2020 until October 31, 2021, if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch.

As both Pokémon share the same Wonder Card ID, only 1 of the 2 Milcery (either holding a [[Ribbon Sweet]] or a [[Star Sweet]]) could be redeemed on a single save file.

Prior to November 6, 2020, the Wonder Card did not set a nickname for Milcery, causing a bug if the serial code is redeemed on a Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese language game. Milcery's origin language would be set to Japanese, but since it had no nickname, the game would assign it Milcery's species name in Korean/Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese. Since its origin language and nickname did not match typesets (Japanese-language Pokémon cannot have Korean/Chinese nicknames), Milcery's nickname would display as "???" on the save file. This was fixed by replacing the Wonder Card by another version with the same ID, that directly set Milcery's nickname to マホミル (Milcery's species name in Japanese).

===Jungle Pokémon===
[[File:Forest of Okoya Zarude.png|thumb|250px|Promotional artwork of {{p|Zarude}} associated with the event]]
[https://www.pokemon-movie.jp/tickets/point1.php These] [https://www.pokemon-movie.jp/tickets/point2.php Pokémon] were distributed to players who preordered tickets to the twenty-third movie, ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''. They included a {{shiny}} {{p|Celebi}} and a {{p|Zarude}}, both Pokémon that play important roles in the movie. Celebi's distribution was originally due to begin on April 17, 2020, and Zarude's on June 15, 2020; due to the delay of the movie's release, both distributions instead began on August 7 and were redeemable until March 31, 2021. Multiple redemptions of these Pokémon are allowed on a single game, provided the player has preordered multiple tickets, and consequently, has multiple serial codes.

Additionally, the Dada Zarude [https://www.pokemon-movie.jp/present/index.php was distributed] from December 25, 2020 to March 31, 2021 to players who watched the movie, in Japanese movie theatres.

The Shiny Celebi and Dada Zarude were [https://www.facebook.com/PokemonDistributionDataTW/posts/3251817158475837 re-released] in Taiwan between December 10th 2021 and March 31st 2022, to promote the release of the movie in this market.

===Poké Ball Plus Mew===
Initially released with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the [[Poké Ball Plus]] comes programmed with an internal serial code to redeem this {{p|Mew}} that is compatible with Pokémon Sword and Shield. Despite being marketed as the Poké Ball Plus "containing" Mew, the serial code aspect means that, to claim Mew, the player must connect to the Internet through Mystery Gift.

The serial code aspect also means that it is impossible for a single manufactured Poké Ball Plus to redeem more than one Mew, even if the Poké Ball Plus is later resold. Players that purchased multiple Poké Ball Pluses can redeem one Mew for each.

The '''Poké Radar''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーサー''' ''Pokémon Tracer'', '''ポケトレ''' ''Poké Trace'' for short) is a [[Key Item]] in {{g|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|X and Y|X Y,}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} that is used to seek out [[wild Pokémon]] hiding in tall grass. Its most notable use is to increase the probability of encountering the normally extremely rare [[Shiny Pokémon]].

===Effect===
{{incomplete|section|In what games is it possible to encounter roaming Pokémon using the Poké Radar?}}
In all games that it appears in, the Poké Radar is obtained after receiving the [[National Pokédex]].

It can only be used in [[tall grass]], while on foot. When used, a tune will begin to play, and up to four patches of grass will shake briefly. Upon entering one of these patches of grass, a {{pkmn|battle}} with a wild Pokémon will begin immediately, even if the player is using a [[Repel]]. Depending on the game, different patches may shake in a different way, corresponding to rarer species of wild Pokémon. However, all games feature a very rare and distinct type of shaking grass that glows white twice; such a grass patch will always contain a Shiny Pokémon.

Like the [[Vs. Seeker]], the Radar's battery must be charged after use by walking around. It takes 50 steps to fully charge the Poké Radar.

If the wild Pokémon is [[fainting|knocked out]] or {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in a [[Poké Ball]], a ''chain'' will begin; this is the principle mechanic of the Poké Radar and crucial to increasing the probability of encountering a Shiny Pokémon. When a chain is in progress, the Poké Radar will automatically activate again at the end of the battle, causing up to four more grass patches to shake. Depending on various circumstances, one of these patches may be more likely to contain the same species of [[Pokémon]] as the one just encountered; defeating or catching such a Pokémon will continue to increase the chain by 1. If a wild Pokémon of a different species is encountered, or if a battle ends without defeating or capturing the wild Pokémon, or if a wild Pokémon is encountered outside of the Poké Radar, then the chain will break and the Poké Radar will need to recharge before being used again. A chain can also automatically break if the player uses the Bicycle or Roller Skates, if the player scrolls all shaking grass patches off-screen by moving too far away from them, a Pokèmon [[Evolution|evolves]], or an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatches. It is also possible to enter the wrong patch and randomly encounter the same Pokémon as was being chained, but the chain will still break in this case.

Activating the Poké Radar manually in the middle of a chain will not break the chain, and will simply generate up to four new patches of shaking grass, replacing the old ones. This action is known as "resetting" the Radar. It is commonly used when none of the four patches is deemed likely to continue the chain; this determination varies between games.

As the chain length increases, the probability of finding a Shiny patch also increases, up to a certain maximum. After reaching this maximum, the player no longer needs to attempt to increase the chain, and can simply recharge and reset the Radar over and over until a Shiny patch appears.

====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
The Poké Radar's functions are not explained in detail when it's obtained. In {{game|Platinum}}, once the player talks to {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}}'s sister about [[mass outbreak]]s, Dawn/Lucas will give a more practical demonstration on {{rt|202|Sinnoh}}.

In these games only, the player can encounter certain Pokémon with the Poké Radar that would not be normally found in that location; these Pokémon are often not native to the [[Sdex|Sinnoh regional Pokédex]]. For example, the Poké Radar is the only way to encounter a {{p|Nidoran♀}} on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}.

When the Poké Radar is used, the game generates four "rings" around the player, with the first ring consisting of the eight squares surrounding the player, the second ring consisting of the 16 squares surrounding the first ring, and so on for the third and fourth rings. One random square in each ring will be selected, and if that square is a patch of grass, that patch will shake. Therefore, the maximum number of patches that can shake with each use of the Poké Radar is four; if fewer than four patches shake, then one or more of the randomly selected squares were not patches of grass. If all four squares did not contain grass, then the game will display the message "''The grassy patch remained quiet...''" and the chain will automatically break.

The chance that the patch in a ring contains the same species (to continue the chain) depends on the ring. Starting from the closest ring, the chances are 28%, 48%, 68%, and 88%. Catching a Pokémon rather than defeating it will increase these odds by 10% for the patches automatically generated after the battle. There are also two different ways grass patches can shake (roughly, one that shakes vigorously and one that shakes gently); if a chain is started in one type, the chain will only continue in a patch that shakes the same way. Additionally, the gently shaking grass can only contain Pokémon normally found in that location. For example, {{p|Nidoran♀}} cannot be encountered on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} in gently shaking grass. Different formations of patches have no apparent bearing on the odds of the chain continuing.<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/dpp_pokeradar Chaining with the PokeRadar, the Correct way - Smogon.com]</ref>

If a [[Mass outbreak|swarm]] or other special type of encounter ends while a chain is in progress, the Pokémon will remain available as part of the chain until it is broken.

If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny due to its increased odds, the game will construct a [[personality value]] that fulfils the Shininess requirement.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/pid_iv_creation The Process of PID and IV Creation of Non-Bred Pokemon - Smogon University]</ref> It is possible, although very unlikely, for multiple Shiny patches to appear on one reset. Entering a Shiny patch will never break a chain, but if it is in a position where the game can select invalid patches for all four new patches, it may break after. It is always possible for non-flashing patches to contain a Shiny Pokémon as well due to the normal, completely random chance of a Pokémon being Shiny.

One of the functions of the [[Pokétch]] is to {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter|display the current chain}} and the three best chains made so far.

The probability for a patch to contain a Shiny Pokémon increases with the chain length (up to a maximum of 40), according to the following formula:<ref>[http://tccphreak.shiny-clique.net/debugger/addresses.htm Chain shiny routine (assembly)]</ref><ref>[http://sfc.pokefans.net/77-shinyhunting derived math] with [http://sfc.pokemon-inside.net/pictures/advanced_lessons/shinyhunt3.jpg un-condensed formula at the end]</ref><ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gen-rng-research.61090/page-35#post-4031190 RNG Research post] by Kaphotics</ref>
<math display="block">\dfrac{\left\lceil \dfrac{65535}{8200-ChainLength \times 200} \right\rceil}{65536}</math>

The probability of a patch containing a Shiny Pokémon, as calculated by this formula, as listed in the following table. As the table shows, the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon increase slowly at first, but eventually they increase by larger and larger amounts until reaching the maximum of an approximately <math display="inline">\tfrac{1}{200}</math> chance of finding a Shiny Pokémon for a chain of length 40 or more. These odds do not exceed the odds of the [[Masuda method]] until a chain length of 33 is reached.

Since up to four grass patches can shake at a single time, the probability of at least one of the four patches to contain a Shiny Pokémon for a given use of the Poké Radar is approximately 4 times as likely, giving the player a maximum of an approximately <math display="inline">\tfrac{1}{50}</math> chance of a Shiny patch appearing at a chain length of 40.

A chain length of 0 corresponds to the first use of the Poké Radar—the Poké Radar cannot force a Pokémon to be Shiny at this point (which would result in a flashing patch), but the patches still have the default <math display="inline">\tfrac{1}{8192}</math> chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
{{main|Pokéwalker#Poké Radar|Pokéwalker}}
The Poké Radar is not normally obtainable in the main game; however, a primitive version of the Poké Radar exists on the bundled [[Pokéwalker]].

The Pokéwalker's Poké Radar costs 10 Watts to use and is the only way to encounter any wild Pokémon at all on the device. Similar to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, these Pokémon are often difficult or impossible to otherwise find in the main game.

When used, four patches of grass will appear on-screen, one of which will randomly display a '!' symbol for a short period of time. If the player successfully selects that grass patch before the '!' disappears, then either a battle with a wild Pokémon will begin or there will be a delay and another random grass patch will display a second '!'. Again, if the player successfully selects the '!' patch before it disappears, a battle may begin or a third patch may display '!!'. Yet again, if the player successfully selects the '!!' patch, a battle may begin or a fourth patch may display '!!!'; the fourth patch will always start a battle should the player reach that point. Patches with greater numbers of exclamation points indicate rarer wild Pokémon; the mechanics and precise timing required may be considered a primitive form of chaining.

====Pokémon X and Y====
After being absent in Generation V, the Poké Radar returns in Pokémon X and Y.

The Poké Radar cannot be used while using the [[Bicycle]] or [[Roller Skates]]. If the player uses either while chaining (including using the circle pad instead of the D-pad), the chain is reset, and the Poké Radar must be recharged. It also cannot be used in the [[Friend Safari]]. However, it can be used in flower beds the same way as in tall grass.

Unlike in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, there are no Pokémon species exclusive to the Radar. All wild Pokémon encountered will be the same as those encountered normally in the area.

Once per day, the player can speak to the scientist who gave the Poké Radar, and he will assign a species of Pokémon for the player to study. If the player successfully makes a chain of that Pokémon and returns, the scientist will reward the player with an item.

In these games, when a Shiny patch appears, the game will play a unique sound effect in addition to the patch glowing.

Chains and other specific mechanics are believed to be similar to that of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum; differences include the possibility of more than 4 patches of grass shaking at once, as well as the possibility of a grass patch failing to contain any wild Pokémon at all (thus automatically breaking the chain). It has also been verified that the Poké Radar music can change to a more upbeat tune; this is believed but not proven to increase the Shiny encounter rate. More exact details are currently unknown.

=====Poké Radar Researcher=====
The scientist at the Pokémon Lab will give items depending on the player's highest chain length of the Pokémon he requests data of that day. The player can earn more than one item at once, but each different item is only given once per day.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{incomplete|section|Missing information on Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl chain bonuses.}}
The Pokéradar returns in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, behaving almost identically to how it did in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, with a few minor changes.
* The Pokéradar will now always generate 4 patches or shaking grass, and multiple patches of shaking grass can now appear on the same ring.
* The first Pokémon the player encounters in a chain will always appear in any subsequent patch of shaking grass, eliminating the chance that a chain will end by encountering the wrong Pokémon.
* Patches of grass that shake vigorously (Have much bigger blades of grass shaking off) no longer indicates what Pokémon can be found in it. Instead it indicates the Pokémon inside of the patch has its {{Hidden Ability}}. The chance of a patch of grass having this is 1/128 regardless of the length of the chain. This means every use of the Radar has at a 4/128 chance of spawning this patch of grass, with an approximately 3.089% chance of spawning at least one such patch on any use.
* Certain milestones while chaining will now guarantee Pokémon encountered will have a certain amount of perfect IVs.
* Despite saying so in the item description, the [[Shiny Charm]] does not boost the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Pokémon through the Pokéradar.
* In the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl#Version history|version 1.1.2 update]], a change was made so that the 10% bonus chance of a chain continuing from catching a Pokémon now only applies on patches of grass found on the fourth ring.
** This change was reverted back to its original odds in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl#Version history|version 1.1.3 update]]
*Defeating a Pokémon now breaks the chain.
*It is possible for a chain to randomly break after defeating a Pokémon.

==In the TCG==
[[File:017144 T POKETORE.jpg|thumb|200px|Poké Radar]]
{{main|Poké Radar (Legends Awakened 133)}}
The '''Poké Radar''' was introduced as a [[Trainer card]] in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Diamond & Pearl Series (the Japanese DP Era). First released in the {{TCG|Cry from the Mysterious}} expansion, the Poké Radar later debuted in English in the {{TCG|Legends Awakened}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration by [[Kazuaki Aihara]]. This Trainer card allows the player to look at the top five cards of their deck and keep any {{TCG|Pokémon}} after showing them to their opponent; the remaining cards are then shuffled back into the deck.

Template talk:TypeEffectiveness

2022-03-07T23:54:10Z

PinkYoshiFan:

I can't see any check for Pokémon who lost their Normal-type in favor of Fairy-type (such as Togetic or Clefairy), so they're no longer immune to Ghost-type. They were before that, though. [[User:Uploader|Uploader]] ([[User talk:Uploader|talk]]) 11:21, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, but [[X and Y]] has just come out and not many people would have it. They would need the type effectiveness of other gens.

[[User:KogaEliteFour|KogaEliteFour]] ([[User talk:KogaEliteFour|talk]]) 11:26, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Lightningrod redirect ==

The two occurences of ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightningrod|000}}</nowiki>'' should either be replaced by ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightning Rod|000}}</nowiki>'' (produces: {{acolor|Lightning Rod|000}}) or ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightning Rod|000|Lightningrod}}</nowiki>'' (produces: {{acolor|Lightning Rod|000|Lightningrod}}). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:00, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

== Special moves ==

This should have Flying Press and Freeze Dry. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 21:16, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
:The pages for those moves have the appropriate tables. the Freeze Dry page probably could use separate tables for when it's been affected by Normalize or Electrify like the Flying Press page does, but I don't really see a need to change the template itself. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 21:20,2/16/2014 (UTC)

== Primal Abilities ==

The template should be edited at some time to include immunity notes for {{a|Desolate Land}} ({{t|Water}}) and {{a|Primordial Sea}} ({{t|Fire}}). - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 13:01, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

== Filter ==

Unlike {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Mr. Mime}}, Filter is the only Ability of Mega Aggron. We may need to reflect that... (But then again, that means Mega Aggron's default weakness to Fire, Fighting and Ground is 1½; that doesn't seem to be a number we can currently set). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:30, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
:Bump. Also, on that note, all pre-G6 Steel types have notes that erroneously ''always'' state "Generation II-Generation V", even if the Pokémon did not exist in some of these Generations. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 17:10, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
:By the way, there's also fact there doesn't seem to be a immunity removal note for former Normal-types turned into pure Fairy-types (like Clefairy or Snubbull). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:34, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

== Wonderguard ==

In the section for Wonderguard, shouldn't it be added that when Shedinja looses the Abilty, not only are Fighting and Normal the only types that still don't hit, but it also has ½× against Grass, Poison, Bug & Ground? - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|Talk to me^^]] 12:13, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:I thought about this, and I'm going to say this is not necessary. Shedinja is the only Pokémon who normally gets Wonder Guard. While virtually all 721 Pokémon are capable of having it (for instance, a Pokémon activates Trace to get it, then uses Entrainment on any Pokémon), that is something better covered at the Wonder Guard page itself, not in a brief type effectiveness table note; we're not putting this note under all 721 Pokémon with notes of which types are immunities for each species, only under Shedinja where it really doesn't change anything. If another natural Wonder Guard species appears one day, it might be worth noting then. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:18, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

== Iron Ball ==

If a Pokémon that is weak to ground and is flying (i.e. Emolga) is given an Iron ball, it correctly states that they take 1x damage in gen 5 and 2x damage in gen 6 from ground. However, it also states by default that they take 2x damage in gen 4. For some pokémon this isn't a problem (like Zapdos) because they were in gen 4, but for others such as Emolga that were added later it seems odd that their type chart mentions gen 4 when they didn't exist at the time. [[User:Tigertomd|Tigertomd]] ([[User talk:Tigertomd|talk]]) 03:27, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

== Generation VII ==

Since it's now Gen VII, the chart should be edited to display the current generation instead of Generation VI. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 00:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Shouldn't this template (along with [[Template:Ability/head|this other one]]) have subpage divisions like [[Template:Learnlist/levelh/7|the learnset one]]? Because at is it, it's pretty confusing already with so many notes and specific exceptions at the footer. Having specific tables for each generation (which could be its own subpage) would be far easier to read, and in the case of ability tables, accurate, since some abilities don't even match between games, like {{p|Torkoal}}'s. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 07:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

== {{m|Magic Powder}} effect ==

Someone should add the note when a Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} as its Ability is affected by {{m|Magic Powder}}:

''If this Pokémon is affected by {{mcolor|Magic Powder|000}}, only {{typecolor|Bug}}, {{typecolor|Dark}}, and {{typecolor2|Ghost}} moves will cause damage to this Pokémon.''

[[User:Wrrasba|Wrrasba]] ([[User talk:Wrrasba|talk]]) 12:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
==Supressed abilities==
Is there a way to note that type effectiveness changes if a pokemon's ability is suppressed? For example, [[Aggron (Pokémon)#Mega Aggron 2|Mega Aggron]]'s ability is [[Filter]] and the type chart reflects this by saying that super effective moves are 1.5x effective. However, it doesn't mention that those are 2x weaknesses if its ability is supressed or replaced.

'''Blaziken''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バシャーモ''' ''Bursyamo'') is a [[Type|dual-type]] {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Combusken}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Torchic}}.

Blaziken can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blaziken''' using the [[Blazikenite]].

==Biology==
Blaziken is a bipedal, chicken-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of Blaziken's body is red with accents of beige, yellow, and gray. Behind its head, there are beige, hair-like feathers that continue downward and surround its chest and abdomen. It has a small red face with a V-shaped crest on its head. Blaziken's blue eyes are semicircular with yellow sclerae, and its mouth is similar to a hooked beak. It has featherless, gray hands with three fingers each, and three clawed toes that are not normally visible due to the shaggy, yellow feathers on the bottom of its legs. A female has a shorter mask and hair than a male.

Blaziken has strong, muscular legs that give it great lower body strength. This lower body strength helps its kicking and jumping abilities. Blaziken's wrists have gray wristband-like markings capable of producing a tuft of fire above them. Blaziken can also make flames spout from its ankles. This allows it to cloak its feet or fists, and it uses these abilities while practicing a form of {{wp |martial art}}. These combined abilities allow it to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Blaze Kick}}. Its flames burn more intensely when it faces stronger opponents. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place. While Blaziken is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

As Mega Blaziken, it loses its yellow markings and gains black markings on its upper legs and chest. Its hair-like feathers take on a wing-like shape and point upward, and the portion around its chest is rough around its shoulders. The crest on its head changes into a flat horn that curves backward. The fire it creates on its wrists is now longer. When Blaziken Mega Evolves into Mega Blaziken, it further hones the power of its kicks, always a source of pride to it. As it unleashes a flurry of savage kicks, its legs can begin to burn from the friction of the surrounding atmosphere. As Mega Blaziken's body temperature increases, its power and speed continue to ramp up. <ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/starter-pokemon/starter-pokemon</ref>

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Gurkinn Blaziken.png|thumb|left|250px|Blaziken in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|thumb|250px|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Harrison's Blaziken]]=====
Blaziken debuted in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', under the ownership of {{jo|Harrison}}. He used it to defeat the {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}} that was blocking access to the flame of {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Harrison later used Blaziken in the [[Silver Conference]] quarterfinals {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Charizard]].

=====[[May's Blaziken]]=====
In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Combusken evolved into a Blaziken. It went with her to [[Johto]], and it was in her [[party]] when she returned in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', a Blaziken was [[Rafe]]'s main battling Pokémon.

A Blaziken that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. It continued to appear throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', mostly within [[Lumiose City]], but also in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', where its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Blaziken Mask, was revealed to be [[Meyer]] in disguise.

'''NA''': ''Blaziken would be the perfect star for an intense, action-packed movie. Its fiery fists pack a serious punch, and it has no problem leaping over 30-story buildings. We'd save so much on the special effects! All we need is a good name... How about Fired Up! Better yet, Fired Up 3! That way it sounds like it's already a popular series!''

'''PAL''': ''We should make an action film starring Blaziken. With its fiery fists and ability to spring over 30-storey buildings effortlessly, we'd save a ton of money on CGI! Let's call it... Red Renegade! Or, better yet, Red Renegade 3 - then people will think it's part of a popular series!''

=====Mega Blaziken=====
'''NA''': ''If you find yourself in possession of a Blazikenite, you can use it to Mega Evolve Blaziken into Mega Blaziken. This Pokémon is clearly ready for a fight. This Mega Evolution has polished its attacks and is awaiting a worthy opponent. The Blaze Kick it can unleash will leave its foes charred. Mega Blaziken has what it takes to become a fighting champ!''

'''PAL''': ''If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a rare Blazikenite stone, your Blaziken can Mega Evolve into this magnificent Pokémon. Ablaze with fighting spirit, Mega Blaziken has honed its skills to the highest possible degree. With its Blaze Kick, it can deliver a fierce impact that will leave opponents charred!''

==Trivia==
[[File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
[[File:Torchic Beta.jpg|150px|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of Torchic]]
* Blaziken is the only fully-evolved [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] to {{DL|Core series|Pokémon|appear in the anime before its debut generation}}.
* [[Media:Latias Blaziken.jpg|A pre-alpha sketch]] depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] with the traits of both Blaziken and {{p|Latias}}. Likewise, Mega Blaziken's ears appear similar to those in a pre-alpha sketch of Torchic.
* Mega Blaziken is the only Mega Evolution officially introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that is not native to [[Kalos]].

===Origin===
Blaziken is probably based on a {{wp|cockfight}}ing chicken, specifically the Japanese {{wp|Shamo chickens|Shamo chicken}} breed known for its mane and upright posture. The feathery legs resemble those of a {{wp|Cochin chicken}}. It bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}} and {{wp|Ra}}, two anthropomorphic ancient Egyptian deities with falcon heads. Blaziken may also be based on the {{wp|Basan}}, a legendary fire-breathing chicken, or possibly the ''{{wp|karura}}''. It is somewhat based on the mythical {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}, as its feathers burn off every few years. It may also draw inspiration from the ''{{jwp|天狗火#松明丸|taimatsu-maru}}'', creatures that resembled raptors or ''{{wp|tengu}}'' and trailed flames.

Its {{t|Fighting}} type may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighters, since Blaziken's official artwork depicts a typical {{wp|Knee (strike)#Flying|flying knee}} and Mega Blaziken's stance portrays a {{wp|Muay Thai#Defenses in practice|check}}.

====Name origin====
Blaziken is a combination of ''blaze'' and ''{{wp|chicken}}''.

Bursyamo may be a combination of ''burst'' or ''burn'' and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}'', a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting.

Bike obstacles

2021-06-11T18:36:18Z

PinkYoshiFan: /* Bikeless areas */

'''Bicycle obstacles''' are obstacles that can only be crossed riding a [[Bicycle]] or locations that require the player to ride a bike.

==Obstacles==
===Cracked tiles===
{{main|Hole}}
Cracked tiles can only be traveled over with a [[Mach Bike]]. If a player slows down or walks on the cracks, they will fall through the floor. The Mach Bike will travel over them fast enough to get over them before they crumble away. Cracked floors have only appeared in [[Generation III]], most notably within the [[Sky Pillar]]. The only other locations this obstacle is found in are the [[Granite Cave]] and the [[Mirage Tower]], making this exclusive to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

===Muddy slopes===
Muddy slopes can only be passed with a [[Mach Bike]] or, in [[Generation IV]], the Bicycle shifted into fourth gear. If a player attempts to walk up or uses a slow bike/ bike gear to ride up the slope, they will slide back down before they reach the top. They will also slide down if they stop on the slope before reaching the top. These are found in both [[Generation III]], {{gen|IV}}, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

===Rails and logs===
This obstacle is known as a rail in [[Generation III]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] and as a fallen log in [[Generation IV]]. While the function is largely the same, there are slight differences between generations. In Generation III/VI, only the {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}} can be used to get across, as riders need to use the Bike's jumping function to go from rail to rail. In Generation IV, there's no trick to riding on them, so both gears of the Bicycle can travel on the rails. In Generation III/VI, they are mainly found on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. There are fallen logs on [[Route]]s {{rtn|210|Sinnoh}}, {{rtn|212|Sinnoh}}, and {{rtn|228|Sinnoh}} in Generation IV.

===Bumpy slopes===
These slopes, which are seen in [[Generation III]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], can only be climbed with an [[Acro Bike]]'s bunny hop trick. This feature is mainly in [[Jagged Pass]] and the {{safari|Hoenn}}.

===Ramps===
In [[Generation IV]], there are some small ramps found on the ground. If the bike is in a fast gear and has space to get up to speed, it will launch off the ramp and jump far. However, if it is in third gear or isn't up to speed, the ramp will only launch the bike a little for a much smaller jump. Usually, the ramp puzzles require a far jump rather than a short jump. However, one of the ramps in the secret area of [[Wayward Cave]] requires the bike to be in third gear or else the player will jump too far.

==Bike only areas==
There are three places in the [[Pokémon games]] where players must ride their Bicycles.
*[[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road (Kanto)]]
*[[Seaside Cycling Road]]
*[[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road (Sinnoh)]]

==Bikeless areas==
There are several places in the [[Pokémon games]] where players cannot ride their Bicycles.
*{{DL|Tall grass|Long grass}}{{sup/3|RSE}}{{sup/4|DPPt}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}
*[[Snow tile|Snow]]
*[[Marsh tile|Marsh]]
*[[Water tile|Water]] (except for Water Mode [[Rotom Bike]] in {{2v2|Sword|Shield}})
*Most buildings
*[[Pacifidlog Town]]{{sup/3|RSE}}
*Tree Houses of [[Fortree City]]

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
During a confrontation at the [[Stow-on-Side]] mural, [[Sonia]] quickly spots statues hidden behind, featuring two knights, as well as a pair of mysterious Pokémon - {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. [[Oleana's subordinate]], however, orders his [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Garbodor}} to attack with {{m|Max Steelspike}}. [[Goh's Raboot]] takes the hit before retaliating with {{m|Max Knuckle}}, sending Garbodor crashing down. The [[Macro Cosmos]] agent orders his Garbodor to get up immediately and attack with {{m|G-Max Malodor}}. However Raboot’s {{m|Max Flare}} lands first, knocking Garbodor out. The agent immediately [[recall]]s his Pokémon and flees the area. Raboot returns to its usual form, with its performance in battle earning Goh and Sonia's praises.

After staying the night at [[Rose Tower]], {{Ash}} leaves aboard his {{AP|Dragonite}} to meet Goh at Stow-on-Side. Meanwhile at the mural site, Goh examines the uncovered statues and reveals that he recognizes one of the mysterious Pokémon, Zamazenta who he encountered in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. He adds that his {{i|Poké Ball}} simply went through it and he later woke up alone amongst the thick fog. Sonia and Goh soon notice a plaque, revealing the names of the mysterious Pokémon to be Zacian, the one holding the sword, while Zamazenta is holding the shield. Sonia concludes that the ancient legend that surrounds the [[Darkest Day]] is wrong, and that two heroes alongside two Pokémon overcame the crisis 3,000 years ago. Recalling the [[Turffield]] geoglyph, Goh deduces that the "Darkest Day" was in fact a Pokémon, to which Sonia agrees. A group of Macro Cosmos agents arrive on the scene, though Goh and Sonia charge towards them to escape another confrontation. The pair rush to Sonia's car, buckling up and driving to the Slumbering Weald to ask for Zacian and Zamazenta's help in solving the [[Dynamax]] outbreaks across [[Galar]]. On the way over, Goh phones Ash to change their meet up arrangements to the Slumbering Weald and updates him on all his latest discoveries about the ancient Galar legend surrounding the Darkest Day.

[[Leon]], meanwhile, continues to investigate the [[Energy Plant]] for clues about the current Dynamax outbreaks and Chairman [[Rose]]'s suspected involvement. He soon reaches the tower summit, just in time to see the energy core become overloaded from an injection of Galar particles. Several beams of red light shoot across the sky, capturing Ash's attention. The [[Rotom Phone]] reveals that the source of the red light is somewhere in [[Hammerlocke]]. Fearing more Dynamax outbreaks will occur, Ash decides he will investigate the red lights further. Goh agrees to the change of plans, adding that he and Sonia will continue onto the Slumbering Weald to recruit Zacian and Zamazenta.

A Pokémon finally bursts from the Energy Plant reactor core, revealing it to be {{p|Eternatus}}. As one of the Macro Cosmo employees makes a call direct to Chairman Rose, Leon realizes that the Chairman is behind all of the Dynamax outbreaks. Frustrated, Leon calls out his {{p|Charizard}} to battle Eternatus and stop it from escaping. However, Eternatus flies upwards and emerges inside the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]] above. {{TRT}}, on a mission to capture Eternatus for {{an|Giovanni}}, remove their mine worker disguises before {{MTR}} launches a rocket-propelled net at it. Eternatus replies with a beam of Dynamax energy, striking Meowth and causing him to [[Gigantamax]] for the first time. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are thrilled with Meowth’s powerful new form and order him to attack. Meowth, however, attacks his teammates in a Gigantamax-induced rage. Ash and Dragonite reach Hammerlocke Stadium to see Team Rocket fleeing from Gigantamax Meowth. Jessie and James order Ash to do something about it.

The confrontation at Hammerlocke Stadium is filmed by a passing news crew, with the footage streamed directly to Sonia's Rotom Phone just as she and Goh have reached the Slumbering Weald. Transmission suddenly cuts out as Eternatus fires off another attack. Realizing the Darkest Day has actually been revived, Goh and Sonia are push ahead to locate Zacian and Zamazenta. Goh and Sonia call out into the fog, and before long Zacian and Zamazenta arrive on the scene. The two legendaries then turn away and appear to vanish into the thick mist. Goh is initially disappointed, but Raboot senses something up ahead. The trio soon arrive at an altar, and locate the [[Rusted Shield]] and [[Rusted Sword]] lying there from the ancient legend. Goh packs the ancient artefacts in his [[bag]], as he and Sonia set their sights on reaching Hammerlocke.

Inside Hammerlocke Stadium, Eternatus attacks Ash's Dragonite, leading Ash to recall it for a rest. Leon and Charizard then arrive on the scene, before Chairman Rose makes an appearance. Rose proudly announces that Eternatus, whom he named for its "infinite" energy, is in fact the fearsome Darkest Day from the legend. Eternatus tries to escape, however the stadium’s audience safety barriers is helping to keep it contained. Rose reveals that Galar was due to exhaust all of its energy sources, however Eternatus offers incredible energy and will be key to securing Galar's future. He explains that Eternatus actually creates Galar particles. Leon urges Rose to consider the threat Eternatus and its energy poses. Rose, however, announces that helping recruit strong Trainers like Leon has been part of his plan, he clarifies that he wants Leon to catch and control Eternatus. Chairman Rose explains that his father once worked the mines to extract energy, though he eventually passed away following an accident on the job. The loss of his father motivated him to find a more viable energy source like Eternatus, where no one will need to suffer like he did. Leon seemingly complies, agreeing to catch Eternatus as requested. Rose is grateful for Leon’s loyalty. However, Leon clarifies that he will catch Eternatus to calm it down. Eternatus then escapes Hammerlocke Stadium, blasting through the safety barrier and beginning to charge itself up with Galar particles. Leon insists that Eternatus is far too dangerous, so he’ll have to catch and seal it away.

Chairman Rose is disappointed by his star prodigy's sentiments and calls out {{p|Copperajah}} to attack. Ash makes the first move, having {{AP|Pikachu}} strike with {{m|Iron Tail}}. He urges Leon focus on catching Eternatus, and the Galar Champion complies, leaving Ash to face-off against Rose. The Chairman calls out his {{p|Ferrothorn}}, so Ash summons his {{AP|Riolu}} to even things up and make it a [[Double Battle]]. While Team Rocket are still being chased by their Gigantamax Meowth, Sonia crashes through the stadium safety barricade and urges Goh rush ahead to help Ash out. Sonia is confident she can take on the Macro Cosmos agents by herself, but his quickly feeling intimidated by the quartet of {{t|Steel}} Pokémon she has to battle. Luckily, [[Raihan]] arrives on the scene and calls out his {{p|Duraludon}} to assist. Goh, meanwhile, is stopped by [[Oleana]]. Her initial smug demeanor turns to anguish when Goh insists he must stop Chairman Rose, and Oleana summons her {{p|Milotic}}. Oleana adds that as secretary she must defend Rose's dream, adding that Rose has spent too much time and effort to see it fail. Goh is unfazed by Oleana's intimidation tactics and selects Raboot to battle.

The Crown Tundra

2020-10-25T14:43:46Z

PinkYoshiFan: /* Plot */ I've encountered (and caught) Ultra beasts already, and I haven't finished the main story yet.

{{search|{{wp|Downloadable content|expansion}} for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]|the location in the [[Galar]] region|Crown Tundra}}
[[File:The Crown Tundra logo.png|thumb|250px|Logo]]
'''The Crown Tundra''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|冠の雪原|かんむりのせつげん}}''' ''The Snowfield of the Crown'') is the second expansion in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. Featuring the [[Crown Tundra]], the theme of the expansion is "exploration". It was released on October 23, 2020.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the expansion was released on October 22, 2020 in North America, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It follows [[The Isle of Armor]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
After obtaining the [[Crown Pass]], the {{player}} can board a train at [[Wedgehurst]] to the [[Crown Tundra]]. Upon arriving, the player encounters an enthusiastic man named [[Peony]] and his daughter [[Peonia]]. Peony wants to take her daughter to an "adven-tour" with him, while Peonia would rather explore the [[Max Lair]]. On Peonia's request, the player battles Peony, who reveals himself to be a former {{type|Steel}} [[Gym Leader]]. Peonia uses the battle as cover to escape, and after the battle, Peony chases after her into the Max Lair. The player is forced to follow Peony into the Max Lair and take part in a [[Dynamax Adventure]], in which they cannot use their own Pokémon, due the dangerous amount of [[Galar]] Particles. After clearing it, Peonia approaches the player and requests they take her place in her father's "adven-tour". Upon hearing of this, Peony is initially distraught, but comes to accept the situation. The player and Peony set up their base at the town of [[Freezington]], with Peony appointing the player as the chief who does the exploring while he holds down the fort.

The first adventure is finding out about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Calyrex}}, which the townspeople also know as the "King of Bountiful Harvests". Upon restoring the statue of Calyrex in Freezington, the player ends up encountering Calyrex itself. By temporarily taking over Peony's body, Calyrex is able to [[Talking Pokémon|communicate with the player]], explaining that people these days treat it as a fairy tale, and that its powers have diminished notably ever since it was departed from its loyal steed, which is depicted in the statue the player restored. From Freezington's mayor, the player learns that the steed was in love with a certain type of carrot. Depending on the site where the player plants the [[Carrot Seeds]] they get, they can either grow a [[Shaderoot Carrot]] at the [[Old Cemetery]] to cause the {{type|Ghost}} {{p|Spectrier}} to appear, or an [[Iceroot Carrot]] at the [[Snowslide Slope]] to cause the {{type|Ice}} {{p|Glastrier}} to appear. The steed heads to Freezington and causes a ruckus there, and forces the player into a battle. Calyrex is forced to intervene when the steed attempts to attack the townsfolk, leaving behind a single strand of hair. With the help of Peony, the player is able to sow a replica [[Reins of Unity]] that Calyrex needs to tame its steed from the strand of the steed's hair and the [[Radiant Petal]] received from Calyrex. The player and Calyrex travel to the [[Crown Shrine]], where Calyrex successfully uses the Reins of Unity to tame its steed again and regain its full power. Calyrex then challenges the player to a battle and lets itself be {{pkmn2|caught}} by them.

In the next adventure, the player tracks down and catches the [[Legendary titans]] {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} at the ruins across the Crown Tundra. Once all three have been caught, the player is able to access the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], where they can encounter either {{p|Regieleki}} or {{p|Regidrago}}, depending on the pattern they enter in the ruins, and catch it as well. Reporting these captures to Peony concludes the adventure.

In the third adventure, the player encounters the {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s of the [[Legendary birds]] at the [[Dyna Tree Hill]], but the sound of the player's [[Rotom Phone]] going off alerts them, and they scatter across the [[region]], becoming [[roaming Pokémon]]. {{p|Articuno}} roams around the Crown Tundra, {{p|Zapdos}} roams around the [[Wild Area]], and {{p|Moltres}} roams around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Catching all of them and reporting the findings to Peony concludes the adventure.

During their adventures, [[Sonia]] will appear to track various footprints scattered across the Crown Tundra belonging to the [[Swords of Justice]]. Collecting 50 pairs of footprints from any single one of them allows Sonia to pinpoint the location where the player can catch them. Once the player has caught all three of them and shown them to Sonia, she will return to her laboratory at Wedgehurst, and {{p|Keldeo}} can be caught at [[Ballimere Lake]].

After the player has concluded all three adventures, Peonia appears at the base and informs she's ready to go on an adventure with her father. Peony, out of any legends to explore, tries to tell his daughter that he'll come up with some new legends, which upsets her and causes her to go back the Max Lair, with Peony right on her heels, concluding the main story of The Crown Tundra.

The player then finds an adventure description about [[Ultra Wormhole]]s that Peony doesn't even recall writing. Showing it to him will make finding and catching {{p|Necrozma}} at Max Lair the new adventure objective. Once the objective has been achieved, the {{tc|Scientist}} running Max Lair reveals the adventure description to have been written by her.

After the fourth adventure has started, [[Leon]] will contact the player, informing them of the new [[Galarian Star Tournament]], which they can participate at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. In this [[Multi Battle]] tournament, the player teams up with either [[Hop]] or [[Marnie]] and eventually goes on to face and defeat Leon and [[Raihan]] or [[Piers]] and Raihan, respectively, in the finals. Afterwards, Leon declares the Galarian Star Tournament as a permanent new feature of Wyndon Stadium.

[[File:SwShCT Prerelease Dynamax Adventure.png|thumb|250px|Four players on a Dynamax Adventure]]

===Dynamax Adventures===
{{main|Dynamax Adventure}}
Players can explore [[Pokémon Den]]s to find Legendary Pokémon from previous [[core series]] games and fight them in [[Max Raid Battle]]s using rental Pokémon in a co-op play mode called Dynamax Adventures. To reach the Legendary Pokémon, players must face off against three Dynamaxed Pokémon. The player can choose which way to go after defeating the Dynamaxed Pokémon before reaching the end. Damages such as loss of HP and PP is carried from the previous battle. Occasionally, the players will run into characters or Berries that can be used for healing. Although they can be encountered infinitely many times, only one of each Legendary Pokémon can be caught per game, unless the player refuses to take it. Once the player encounters a Legendary Pokémon, they can select to go to its path. All Pokémon can be caught without fail, but the player can only take one out of the Pokémon Den.

===Galarian Star Tournament===
Once the player has completed the Crown Tundra story, a new battle mechanic called the {{DL|Wyndon Stadium|Galarian Star Tournament}} will be unlocked within [[Wyndon Stadium]]. This Tournament allows the player to team up and battle against Trainers encountered in the main game.

The Crown Tundra

2020-10-24T19:24:09Z

PinkYoshiFan: /* Dynamax Adventures */ I've encountered (and caught) ultra beasts, but haven't encountered the "game" mascot yet. Adding more info, but it's still very much incomplete.

{{search|{{wp|Downloadable content|expansion}} for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]|the location in the [[Galar]] region|Crown Tundra}}
[[File:The Crown Tundra logo.png|thumb|250px|Logo]]
'''The Crown Tundra''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|冠の雪原|かんむりのせつげん}}''' ''The Snowfield of the Crown'') is the second expansion in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. Featuring the [[Crown Tundra]], the theme of the expansion is "exploration". It was released on October 23, 2020.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the expansion was released on October 22, 2020 in North America, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It follows [[The Isle of Armor]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
After obtaining the [[Crown Pass]], the {{player}} can board a train at [[Wedgehurst]] to the [[Crown Tundra]]. Upon arriving, the player encounters an enthusiastic man named [[Peony]] and his daughter [[Peonia]]. Peony wants to take her daughter to an "adven-tour" with him, while Peonia would rather explore the [[Max Lair]]. On Peonia's request, the player battles Peony, who reveals himself to be a former {{type|Steel}} [[Gym Leader]]. Peonia uses the battle as cover to escape, and after the battle, Peony chases after her into the Max Lair. The player is forced to follow Peony into the Max Lair and take part in a [[Dynamax Adventure]], in which they cannot use their own Pokémon, due the dangerous amount of [[Galar]] Particles. After clearing it, Peonia approaches the player and requests they take her place in her father's "adven-tour". Upon hearing of this, Peony is initially distraught, but comes to accept the situation. The player and Peony set up their base at the town of [[Freezington]], with Peony appointing the player as the chief who does the exploring while he holds down the fort.

The first adventure is finding out about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Calyrex}}, which the townspeople also know as the "King of Bountiful Harvests". Upon restoring the statue of Calyrex in Freezington, the player ends up encountering Calyrex itself. By temporarily taking over Peony's body, Calyrex is able to [[Talking Pokémon|communicate with the player]], explaining that people these days treat it as a fairy tale, and that its powers have diminished notably ever since it was departed from its loyal steed, which is depicted in the statue the player restored. From Freezington's mayor, the player learns that the steed was in love with a certain type of carrot. Depending on the site where the player plants the [[Carrot Seeds]] they get, they can either grow a [[Shaderoot Carrot]] at the [[Old Cemetery]] to cause the {{type|Ghost}} {{p|Spectrier}} to appear, or an [[Iceroot Carrot]] at the [[Snowslide Slope]] to cause the {{type|Ice}} {{p|Glastrier}} to appear. The steed heads to Freezington and causes a ruckus there, and forces the player into a battle. Calyrex is forced to intervene when the steed attempts to attack the townsfolk, leaving behind a single strand of hair. With the help of Peony, the player is able to sow a replica [[Reins of Unity]] that Calyrex needs to tame its steed from the strand of the steed's hair and the [[Radiant Petal]] received from Calyrex. The player and Calyrex travel to the [[Crown Shrine]], where Calyrex successfully uses the Reins of Unity to tame its steed again and regain its full power. Calyrex then challenges the player to a battle and lets itself be {{pkmn2|caught}} by them.

In the next adventure, the player tracks down and catches the [[Legendary titans]] {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} at the ruins across the Crown Tundra. Once all three have been caught, the player is able to access the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], where they can encounter either {{p|Regieleki}} or {{p|Regidrago}}, depending on the pattern they enter in the ruins, and catch it as well. Reporting these captures to Peony concludes the adventure.

In the third adventure, the player encounters the {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s of the [[Legendary birds]] at the [[Dyna Tree Hill]], but the sound of the player's [[Rotom Phone]] going off alerts them, and they scatter across the [[region]], becoming [[roaming Pokémon]]. {{p|Articuno}} roams around the Crown Tundra, {{p|Zapdos}} roams around the [[Wild Area]], and {{p|Moltres}} roams around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Catching all of them and reporting the findings to Peony concludes the adventure.

During their adventures, [[Sonia]] will appear to track various footprints scattered across the Crown Tundra belonging to the [[Swords of Justice]]. Collecting 50 pairs of footprints from any single one of them allows Sonia to pinpoint the location where the player can catch them. Once the player has caught all three of them and shown them to Sonia, she will return to her laboratory at Wedgehurst.

After the player has concluded all three adventures, Peonia appears at the base and informs she's ready to go on an adventure with her father. Peony, out of any legends to explore, tries to tell his daughter that he'll come up with some new legends, which upsets her and causes her to go back the Max Lair, with Peony right on her heels, concluding the main story of The Crown Tundra.

The player then finds an adventure description about [[Ultra Wormhole]]s that Peony doesn't even recall writing. Showing it to him will make finding and catching {{p|Necrozma}} at Max Lair the new adventure objective. Once this objective has been achieved, the {{tc|Scientist}} running Max Lair reveals the adventure description to have been written by her.

After the fourth adventure has started, [[Leon]] will contact the player, informing them of the new [[Galarian Star Tournament]], which they can participate at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. In this [[Multi Battle]] tournament, the player teams up with either [[Hop]] or [[Marnie]] and eventually goes on to face and defeat Leon and [[Raihan]] or [[Piers]] and Raihan, respectively, in the finals. Afterwards, Leon declares the Galarian Star Tournament as a permanent new feature of Wyndon Stadium.

Damages such as loss of HP and PP is carried from the previous battle. Occasionally, the players will run into characters or Berries that can be used for healing. Only one of each Legendary Pokémon can be caught per game. All Pokémon can be caught without fail, but the player can only take one out of the Pokémon Den.

===Galarian Star Tournament===
Once the player has completed the Crown Tundra story, a new battle mechanic called the {{DL|Wyndon Stadium|Galarian Star Tournament}} will be unlocked within [[Wyndon Stadium]]. This Tournament allows the player to team up and battle against Trainers encountered in the main game.

'''Lucario''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Riolu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time|day]].

Lucario can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Lucario''' using the [[Lucarionite]].

==Biology==
Lucario is a bipedal, canine-like Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has red eyes, a long snout, and ears. When its mouth is open, two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower, can be seen. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso and blue fur on its thighs that resembles shorts. It has a medium length tail of the same blue color as well. It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates [[aura]], a special energy that it senses. Lucario can study this energy to predict the movements of their opponents and track their quarry. They also have the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of explosive spheres of energy. Lucario can understand human speech and have been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Lucario, its cream fur becomes longer, and its thighs slim down. It develops more spikes on the back of its paws, which have turned crimson. It also develops spikes on both of its feet, which have become crimson too. Its previously red eyes are now orange-colored. Its aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them are tipped in crimson. Its shoulders also possess a spike each. Its aura heightens throughout its body, which formed black markings on its blue fur.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Lucario</ref> In [[Kalos]], Mega Lucario is believed to be the first discovered Mega Evolution. People call Mega Lucario's fighting style heartless due to it being bathed in combative instincts and not showing any mercy to any other opposing Pokémon.

Lucario is considered to be prideful and is extremely loyal to its Trainer. It also seems to have a natural sense of justice. It usually lives deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. It is an exceptionally rare Pokémon. Lucario are primarily carnivores, hunting their prey in packs, though one {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} was seen eating {{Berries}} and plants like roses. It has also been seen eating chocolate, even though chocolate is not part of its natural diet.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dusty.png|thumb|200px|Dusty's Lucario costume]]
* Because of its debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Lucario appears in the original versions of {{so|Battle Frontier}} and its English dub counterpart, [[Unbeatable]], alongside {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}, despite not debuting until the following generation.
* Lucario's English name was revealed on February 9, 2006, with the announcement of the title of ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew''.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, [[Dusty]] wears a Lucario costume.
* Due to Lucario's combination of {{Abilities}}, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} Steadfast only activates if Lucario becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}, or if the opponent has {{a|Mold Breaker}}.
* Lucario has the fewest [[move]]s of all the [[Pokkén Tournament]] fighters, with a total of four.
* Mega Lucario has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all non-legendary {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* In the [[Pokémon Day#Pokémon of the Year|Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Lucario was voted the most popular [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, receiving 102,259 votes. It was also the second-most popular Pokémon overall.

===Origin===
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals and the dead, {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of an {{wp|African golden wolf}}. Anubis's role in {{wp|Egyptian mythology}} was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during their life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. {{wp|Boxing}} is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt.

The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask. The rings around its shoulders may be inspired by {{wp|iron rings}} used in martial arts. The four appendages on Lucario's head, together with the shape drawn by its mask (a bisected ring), may suggest inspiration from a {{wp|khakkhara}}, which in popular depictions can respond to spiritual energies similarly to how Lucario's appendages act when it senses aura.

====Name origin====
Lucario may be derived from the reverse of the Japanese transliteration of ''{{wp|orichalcum}}'' (a mythical metal) or ''{{wp|oracle}}'' (referring to its supernatural abilities involving [[aura]]). It may also involve ''{{wp|Egyptian Jackal|lupaster}}'' (a subspecies of the {{wp|Golden jackal|Canis aureus}}), {{wp|Cairo|''Cairo''}}, ''{{wp|pharaoh}}'', ''lykos'' (Greek for ''wolf''), ''luchar'' (Spanish for ''fight''), or ''lucarius'' (Latin for ''(one) of light'' or ''luminary'').

==Blurb==

Dawn's first Pokémon Contest is just days away, and in order to prepare, she's searching Jubilife City for a Pokétch—a handy accessory that looks like a watch but has multiple useful functions. To her disappointment, the stores' Pokétch supply has mysteriously been recalled, but she gets a free Pokétch from Team Rocket. For some reason, Team Rocket are just giving Pokétch away! But a Shinx and its owner, Landis, expose Dawn's Pokétch as a fake. Landis should know—he's the son of the Pokétch corporation's president!

Landis introduces his father to Dawn and her friends, who learn that the Pokétch corporation withdrew its merchandise when it heard that someone was distributing fakes. But Landis' father does give our heroes a peek at the latest version of the real thing, a Pokétch that measures the Friendship between a Trainer and a Pokémon. As for the fake Pokétch, the truth is soon revealed: Team Rocket is using the fakes to transmit Psyduck's voice! Now lots of Pokémon are listlessly walking through the streets in a Psyduck-induced trance, headed right for Team Rocket's hideout, and Landis' Shinx is one of them!

Of course, our heroes must now stop Team Rocket from scooping up all the Pokémon and taking off in their Meowth balloon. Pikachu and Piplup try to stop them, but Team Rocket just adds those two to the collection as well. Dawn isn't having any more of this nonsense, so she helps Buneary unleash an amazing Ice Beam that puts the villains' plans on ice. With the Pokémon freed, Shinx helps charge Pikachu up with electricity and Team Rocket are sent flying once again, without the benefit of a hot air balloon. Now Dawn can receive a real Pokétch of her own, and she's just about ready to take on the Jubilife Pokémon Contest!

==Plot==
{{ashfr|The group}} arrives in [[Jubilife City]] with three days before the local [[Pokémon Contest]] and {{an|Dawn}}’s long-awaited debut. Dawn is set on getting herself a [[Pokétch]], a must-have device for any {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. However, she is disappointed to find the local store is empty. The vendor explains that the [[Pokétch Company]] has recalled all unsold Pokétches. Dawn perks up again when she spots three clowns, actually {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|in disguise]], giving away free Pokétches to the street crowd. Dawn pushes her way through the crowd. Team Rocket are shocked to see her, but give her a Pokétch anyway. They also insist that Ash and Brock take one as well, even though Ash says that he doesn't want one.

The group takes a break in a local park, where Dawn admires her Pokétch. A {{p|Shinx}} then walks up and Ash scans it on his [[Pokédex]], before wondering aloud why it is "barking" so much. Its Trainer, [[Landis]] and instantly reveals the Pokétches are fake. Dawn refuses to believe him, until Landis runs it under water, smearing the paint. When the group asks how he knew they were fake, Landis tells them that [[Pokétch Co. President|his father]] would never make one in such a "dumb" color.

Inside the [[Pokétch Company]] factory, Landis's father, who is also the Pokétch Co. President, apologizes for his son's behavior, but the group insists that it should be the people who made the fakes that should apologize. The President admits that he had the Pokétches pulled from the stores across [[Sinnoh]] because of the counterfeit crisis. Landis then discovers that Dawn is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, which prompts his father to show them a prototype Pokétch, which has a [[Friendship]] Checker application. Ash is keen to give the app a try on him and {{AP|Pikachu}}, and the President is surprised by the reading, stating that it is almost off the graph. Brock and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} go up next, and despite Croagunk only being a [[DP008|recent addition]], the reading reveals the pair are already quite close. Dawn, however, is shocked to learn that her friendship with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is low. Landis’s father assures her that friendship increases as a Pokémon and {{pkmn|Trainer}} spend time together. Landis recommends Dawn not even both entering the Contest with those low stats. At this, Dawn orders Landis to test his friendship with Shix. Landis retorts that he is too young and still studying at {{si|Trainers' School}}, much to Dawn's dismay. The President and his son wish Dawn all the best with her Contest, with Landis admitting she will need all the luck she can get.

By nightfall, Team Rocket's fake Pokétch goes into full throttle. With the help of a {{p|Psyduck}}, they utilize the fake devices' speakers to broadcast a hypnotic tone to attract the Trainer's Pokémon directly to them. {{AP|Pikachu}} alerts Ash and his friends to the growing Pokémon procession, while Landis and his father abandon their inspection of the fake Pokétch to chase after their hypnotized Shinx. Landis and his father step outside to look for Shinx, but they instead find Ash and his friends. The father and son alert the group to their discovery of the Psyduck recording within the fake Pokétches. Ash and others follow the Pokémon directly to a giant holding container. Oddly the Pokémon just stand in the box, stuck in a trance. Landis rushes forward to rescue his Shinx, but Dawn leaps to his aid to stop the door crashing down on the young boy. Dawn demands to know who is behind the scheme. Team Rocket responds with their {{motto}} before inflating their balloon and firing up their propulsion engines for lift off. Piplup and Pikachu prepare for a {{m|Bubble Beam}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} combination, but {{MTR}} launches two arms from the balloon, trapping Pikachu and Piplup inside glass capsules. Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and tells it to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, but the Ice Beam can't quite reach the balloon’s height. Still determined, Dawn and Buneary close their eyes and take a moment to concentrate. Dawn calls for a maxed out Ice Beam, and the attack freezes Team Rocket. It also shorts out the rocket boosters, stopping them. As the balloon starts to descend slowly, Piplup and Pikachu are released from their capsules and start to fall. Ash sends out {{AP|Starly}}, and has it swoop into to rescue the pair. Starly manages to save Piplup, though Pikachu continues to plummet. Ash runs and dives to try to catch him, but misses and Pikachu hits the ground hard.

As Ash cradles Pikachu, Team Rocket’s balloon lands and the Pokémon walk out of the damaged container. Brock realizes that the fall must have snapped them out of their hypnosis, and Landis's father orders the Pokémon to go back to their Trainers. Team Rocket then breaks out of the ice and jump to the ground, set on getting revenge. They send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. Carnivine, of course, {{m|Bite}}s onto James's head. Team Rocket then orders Seviper and Carnivine to use {{m|Poison Tail}} and Bite respectively. Dawn decides to retaliate, and has Piplup use {{m|Peck}} and Buneary go in for a {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. Seviper and Carnivine are knocked back. Landis's father then tells Shinx to use {{m|Spark}} on Pikachu, which recharges Pikachu. Meowth extends his claws and Team Rocket and their Pokémon all jump towards Pikachu. Ash orders a Thunderbolt, which sends Team Rocket blasting off.

[[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] arrive shortly after, saying that they got there as fast as they could. Brock goes all heart-eyed, and starts to flirt with them, but Croagunk {{m|Poison Jab}}s him and drags him away. Landis then thanks Dawn for saving Shinx. He admits she will do well in the Contest, but says she shouldn’t expect to win much to Dawn's annoyance. With the counterfeit crisis solved, Dawn purchases a genuine Pokétch from the store the very next day, Now armed with a Pokétch on her wrist, Dawn turns her attention to her Contest training.

==Blurb==

The battles are about to begin in the Jubelife Pokémon Contest, and in the running are Dawn, Ash, Jessie (disguised as Jessilina), and a Coordinator named Zoey. Ash will be battling Zoey, and Zoey is shocked to hear that Ash isn't really a Coordinator. As far as Zooey's concerned, if you're not serious then you don't belong in a Contest! When Ash's Aipom and Zoey's Glameow go head to head, it looks like Zoey may be right. Contests aren't like Gym battles, as Zoey proves when her Glameow wins the round with creative usesof its Iron Tail and Shadow Claw moves.

The second round pits Dawn and Buneary against Zoey and Glameow. Even though Dawn has had a chance to watch Glameow in action, Buneary's graceful jumps and powerful Ice Beam just can't manage to top Glameow's moves. When time runs out, Zoey is declared the winner. After the match, Dawn calls her mother but receives a stern but encouraging lecture on being more independent. After all, Dawn has friends she can turn to for support!

The final round of the Contest is a battle between Zoey and, of all people, Jessie! Zoey's Glameow defeats Carnivine with time left to spare and Zoey wins her second ribbon. Before she heads out of town, she exchanges some encouraging words with Dawn. They're bound to meet again at another Contest—and now Dawn has a new rival who's also a new friend!

==Plot==
The [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] is still underway, with the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] coming to a close and the results being announced. {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, [[Jessie|Jessilina]], and [[Zoey]] are among the eight {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s advancing to the second round, and Dawn decides to call her [[mother]] to tell her the news, but [[Johanna]] already knows as she was watching the Contest on [[television]]. The computer pairs up the contestants for the second round, with Ash facing off against Zoey in the first battle. Zoey finds out about Ash's intention to compete in the [[Sinnoh League]] and her mood suddenly changes. She asks him why he is entering Contests if he can't tell the difference between Contests and Gyms and walks away. Even though Dawn reminds Ash that [[Contest Battle]]s and [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s are two different things, Ash decides to battle by instinct. Meanwhile, [[James]] and {{MTR}} meet up with Jessie, beaten and battered after trying to sell fake [[Seal]]s.

The Battle Stage begins, and is Ash on one side and Zoey on the other. Ash sends out {{AP|Aipom}} while Zoey sends out {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. Ash makes the first move with {{m|Focus Punch}}. Glameow waits until Aipom closes in, grabbing Aipom's tail to stop Aipom's attack and robs Ash of points. Glameow sends Aipom flying, but she attacks with {{m|Swift}}, hitting and taking some of Zoey's points.

Glameow tries {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}} to get behind it, attacking with Swift. However, Glameow uses Fury Swipes to send the attack back to Aipom and robs Ash of more points. Ash orders another Focus Punch, but Glameow blocks with {{m|Iron Tail}}. However, Glameow straightens its tail to hit Aipom. With thirty seconds left, Ash has lost most of his points, but Ash persists and orders another Focus Punch. Glameow uses {{m|Shadow Claw}} to block the Focus Punch long enough for Glameow to dodge before hitting Aipom with another Iron Tail. With ten seconds left, Ash orders a final Focus Punch. The attack is so powerful that Zoey and Glameow are both frozen in their tracks. However, time runs out just before the attack hits and Zoey wins.

Backstage, while Aipom is eating. Ash recounts how his moves did not appeal as much. Ash congratulates Zoey, but Zoey brings up how powerful the Focus Punch attack was, noting how Ash could have won had time not expired. Thanking Ash for a great battle, she still doesn't think Coordinating is where Ash is truly in his element. Ash admits that he is mostly focused on regular battles. Dawn mentions that Ash joined because his Aipom wanted to, much to Zoey's surprise and Ash's admission. Zoey concludes that Dawn should raise Aipom; however, everyone else is puzzled at the idea. Dawn and Jessie both win their respective battles.

Dawn now faces Zoey in the next round. Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} while Zoey sends out Glameow. Buneary uses {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Glameow uses Shadow Claw to block the attack and Dawn loses points. Buneary uses {{m|Bounce}}, and Glameow jumps with its tail, soaring above Buneary and using Fury Swipes. Glameow uses Iron Tail, but Buneary blocks with both her ears, taking Zoey's points. Glameow spins its tail, spinning Buneary and sending her flying. Buneary uses Ice Beam again, but Glameow dodges. However, the attack creates an ice field around Glameow, causing it to slide. Buneary uses {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and Bounce, landing multiple attacks due to the ice. With thirty seconds left, Buneary uses Dizzy Punch again. Glameow uses Shadow Claw to attack the ice and sends shards against Buneary, stopping the attack. Glameow springs up with Iron Tail and knocks Buneary down. Time expires and Zoey wins the round. Dawn calls her mother upset, but her mother gives her a quick stern talk about looking forward and her friends as support.

The final battle pits Jessilina's {{TP|James|Carnivine}} against Zoey's Glameow. Only one minute is left, and Zoey has the lead, but Carnivine has Glameow wrapped. Carnivine tries to {{m|Bite}}, but Glameow's Shadow Claw strikes back and frees itself. Glameow attacks with Fury Swipes, landing multiple hits with incredible speed and beauty. Carnivine fires {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Glameow dodges and use Iron Tail to empty Jessilina's points. Zoey wins the Contest, and the Jubilife [[Ribbon]] is presented to her as everyone applauds. Outside, Dawn promises Zoey that she will get better. Zoey leaves, everyone notes that Dawn has a new [[rival]]. Now, the group looks forward to Ash's first Gym battle.

* [[Zoey]] tells Dawn to raise {{AP|Aipom}} after learning her interest in Contests. This [[DP055|later happens]] when Dawn obtains Aipom from Ash in a [[trade]].

===Errors===
* The blurb for this episode misspells {{ci|Jubilife}} as Jubelife and Zoey as Zooey.
** The same applies with the words, uses of, as they are spelled as one word instead of two.
* When Zoey displays her [[Ribbon]] to the camera, the Ribbon is not actually being held. Zoey's thumb is sticking outwards, and her index finger only touches the Ribbon from above with no fingers supporting the Ribbon from below. This means that the Ribbon should have fallen to the ground, but it stayed in place beneath her finger.

===Dub edits===
* In the European Portuguese dub, the title card is not read by [[Raquel Ferreira]], Dawn's voice actress. Instead, it is read by Ana Vieira, performing a young girl's voice. At the moment, the European Portuguese watchers of Pokémon thought that [[Jessie]]'s and Dawn's voice actress was changed. However, as in the episode where Ferreira was still their voice actress, it is assumed that she wasn't available for some reason to read the title, and Ana Vieira tried to imitate her voice as Dawn.

Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon

{{move|Tales involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}
{{outdated}}
Throughout the [[Pokémon world]], many ancient myths have been recorded about {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]].

==Generation I==
===Shamouti Island===
[[File:Fire Lightning Ice Islands.png|thumb|250px|Fire Island, Lightning Island, and Ice Island, as seen in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'']]
An ancient prophecy circulates around the [[Orange Archipelago]] that says:

====Original====
{| width:100%
! Japanese
! English
|-
| <ab>{{tt|火の神、雷の神、氷の神に触れずべからず。|hi no kami, kaminari no kami, koori no kami ni fureru bekarazu}}
{{tt|されば、天地怒り世界は破滅に向かう。|sareba, tenchi ikari, sekai wa hametsu ni mukau}}
{{tt|海の神、破滅を救わんと現れん。|umi no kami, hametsu wo sukuwan to arawaren}}
{{tt|されど、世界の破滅を防ぐことならず。|saredo, sekai no hametsu wo fusegu koto narazu}}
{{tt|すぐれたるあやつり人現れ、神々の怒り静めん限り…。|suguretaru ayatsuribito araware, kamigami no ikari shizumen kagiri}}</ab>
| <ab>''The god of fire, god of lightning, and god of ice must not be touched.
Else, heaven and earth will be angered and the world will face destruction.
The god of the sea will appear to stop the destruction.
But, it will not prevent the world's destruction.
Unless an exceptional trainer appears to calm the wrath of the gods....</ab>
|}

====English dub====
: Disturb not the harmony of {{p|Moltres|Fire}}, {{p|Articuno|Ice}}, or {{p|Zapdos|Lightning}}
: Lest these Titans wreak destruction
: Upon the world in which they clash

: Though {{p|Lugia|the Water's Great Guardian}} shall arise to quell the fighting
: Alone its song will fail
: Thus the earth shall turn to ash

: O [[Chosen One]]
: Into thine hands bring together all three
: Their treasures combined tame the Beast of The Sea
: From the trio of islands, ancient spheres shall you take
: For between life and death, all the difference you'll make
: Climb to the shrine to right what is wrong
: And the world shall be healed by the Guardian's song...

A festival is held on [[Shamouti Island]] to honor the Chosen One.

==Generation II==
===The Towers of Ecruteak===
[[File:Ecruteak City Landscape.png|thumb|right|250px|The Brass Tower and Bell Tower in Ecruteak City]]

There's a legend that has been passed down by {{ci|Ecruteak}} [[Gym Leader]]s for many years:

:''Two towers... Two Pokémon... But when one burned down, both Pokémon flew away, never to return.''

700 years before [[Generation II]], the people of Ecruteak built two nine-tier towers with the hopes of fostering friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[humans]]. They were the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in the west, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east, where Pokémon were said to rest. Both towers became the roost of powerful flying Pokémon {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} respectively.

However, about 150 years before the games' events, a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire. But Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. The Pokémon are said to embody three powers: the {{p|Raikou|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{p|Entei|fire}} that burned the tower, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that put out the fire. When the Pokémon appeared, they struck terror in those who saw their rise. The three Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, [[roaming Pokémon|running like the wind]] off into the grassland.

Ho-Oh and Lugia haven't been seen since the fire. According to legend, when the souls of Pokémon and humans commune, upon the emergence of a Trainer who has the ability to touch the souls of Pokémon, Ho-Oh will return from the heavens.

A similar legend is addressed in the {{pkmn|anime}}. In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', [[Morty]] says the two towers are the original [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], which burned down, and a rebuilt one. He says that invaders came and tried to steal Ho-Oh, who resisted and fled, and then they burned down the tower. When the legend is revisited in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', however, the story more closely parallels the game version, but the war aspect remains. [[Ash Ketchum]] seems to fulfill the prophecy as a Trainer who has the ability to touch the souls of Pokémon, as he has encountered both Ho-Oh and Suicune several times.

==Generation III==
===Legend of the Regis===
In addition to the Unown, Braille has also been used to tell legends. In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the {{player}} can use the Braille to uncover {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.

The legend, found on various rocks in the [[Sealed Chamber]], reads:

: <sc>In this cave we have lived.</sc>
: <sc>We owe all to the Pok</sc>é<sc>mon.</sc>
: <sc>But, we sealed the Pok</sc>é<sc>mon away.</sc>
: <sc>We feared it.</sc>
: <sc>Those with courage, those with hope.</sc>
: <sc>Open a door. An eternal Pok</sc>é<sc>mon waits.</sc>

Because the message is in singular instead of plural, it is possible that the Pokémon being referred to is {{p|Regigigas}}, and that the people of [[Snowpoint City]] wanted to seal Regigigas away, and created three keys, the [[Legendary titans]], that had to be obtained to awaken Regigigas. To make it as hard as possible to reawaken Regigigas, the people of Snowpoint City sealed the Legendary titans away in [[Hoenn|another region]]. Otherwise, since Regigigas didn't exist yet when the games were made, it might refer to the three Regi's separately or a hint that meant that Regigigas will come back then.

===The Guardians of the Water Capital===
The island city of [[Alto Mare]]'s history is intertwined with the following tale:

{| width="100%"
|-
! width="50%" | Japanese
! width="50%" | English
|-
| lang="ja" | 昔々、アルトマーレという島におじいさんとおばあさんがいました。

|-
| lang="ja" | 島には平和が戻りました。
| Peace returned to the island.
|-
| lang="ja" | それからというもの、「心のしずく」のあるこの島に、ラティオスとラティアスはしばしば立ち寄るようになりました。
| And after that, Latias and Latios often visited this island, where the Soul Dew is.
|
|-
| lang="ja" | この島が邪悪な怪物に襲われる事はその後、二度とありませんでした。
| The island was never attacked again by the evil monster.
|}

Note: The legend sequence was cut from the dub version of the [[M05|movie]], so there is no official English translation.

===Weather Trio===
{{main|Weather trio}}
Long ago, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Kyogre|Primal Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon|Primal Groudon}} created the land and sea of the [[Hoenn]] region. Both fought each other in a catastrophic battle. After hearing prayed to {{p|Rayquaza}} who, through the [[Mega Evolution]], eventually came and calmed the two. The Blue and Red Orbs put {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} into a slumber that could only be ended should the Orbs be used again. The Orbs can also unlock Groudon and Kyogre's Primal forms through a process known as [[Primal Reversion]].

==Generation IV==
===Sinnoh myths===
{{main|Sinnoh myths}}
===The Legend of [[Snowpoint Temple]]===
[[File:Snowpoint Temple B5F DPPt.png|thumb|250px|Encountering Regigigas in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
There's a legend that has been passed down by the people of [[Snowpoint City]] for many years:

:''Once after a volcano violently erupted, the Snowpoint Forest, rich in natural resources and beauty, was transformed into a sea of flowing lava.''
:''Then, out of a bright blue light, {{p|Regigigas}} appeared. Along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.''
:''Together, the four of them halted the volcano's eruption, thus saving Snowpoint City from destruction. ''
:''Later Regigigas transformed itself into a stone of life and fell into a deep sleep, while in order to protect Regigigas, the legend says that Regice, Regirock, and Registeel transformed into three guardian pillars made of the basic elements of rock, ice, and steel.''

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] as well as [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]], the player can travel to Snowpoint Temple after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. If the player has all three of the [[Legendary titans]] in their party, Regigigas will awaken and be able to be battled and captured.

===Sinnoh's creation===
Before the beginning of Sinnoh, from a vortex of chaos emerged an egg. When {{p|Arceus}} hatched from this egg, it shaped the world with its thousand arms and created the land of [[Sinnoh]]. {{p|Arceus}} then created {{p|Dialga|the Pokémon of time}}, {{p|Palkia|the Pokémon of space}} and {{p|Giratina|the Pokémon of antimatter}}. Eventually, people began to inhabit Sinnoh. {{p|Arceus}} then created three new Pokémon to give humans {{p|Uxie|knowledge}}, {{p|Mesprit|emotions}}, and {{p|Azelf|willpower}}. These three Pokémon are said to inhabit lakes in the land of Sinnoh. {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} inhabit the [[Dimensions|Timespace Dimensions]], and {{p|Giratina}} was banished to the [[Distortion World]] by Arceus.

These Pokémon are encountered in their respective games, coming from their respective dimensions. Also, they can be encountered in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|the Generation II remakes]] through a special event. If the player has an Arceus in their party while in the [[Ruins of Alph]], they can go to the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] and obtain (an egg with) one of the [[Creation trio|Legendary Pokémon of their choice]].

==Generation V==
===Tao trio===
{{main|Tao trio}}
Several of the Unova myths revolve around {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}}. It is said that the two Dragon Pokémon were once a single powerful Pokémon owned by twin heroes. However, it was split apart by the pursuit of the different beliefs of the two brothers.

The legends of [[Lacunosa Town]] dictate that when a meteorite crashed outside of the city limits, {{p|Kyurem}} would come out at night and eat both Pokémon and people. To prevent further raids, the people of Lacunosa built walls and forbade night travel. Even during the events of {{4v|Black|White|2}}, everyone in Lacunosa Town stays indoors at night.

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, a conflicting story arises. It is said that when the Original Dragon split its essence into Reshiram and Zekrom, its purposeless body became Kyurem, which stayed inside the Giant Chasm, awaiting "a hero to fill its body with truth or ideals", presumably meaning a fusion with Reshiram or Zekrom. Vague words from [[Professor Juniper]] imply that the meteor mentioned in Lacunosa Town is similar to the Dark Stone{{sup/5|B2}}/Light Stone{{sup/5|W2}} in some way.

===Swords of Justice===
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
Long ago, two opposing human factions were at war, their strife resulting in a forest fire which threatened the lives of many [[wild Pokémon]]. Ensnared by the smoke, they could not escape and their demise seemed certain, until three figures appeared.

{{p|Terrakion}} shaped the earth and created passage by which to escape, {{p|Virizion}} used its speed to shield the Pokémon from sparks and embers, while their leader, {{p|Cobalion}}, ushered Pokémon to safety.

Despite their attempts, they were unsuccessful, as the forest had been burned to the ground. However, amongst the ashes, the three came across a lone Pokémon, {{p|Keldeo|Keldeo}}, who they took in as their own.

The trio proceeded to fight back the armies, overwhelming them with their combined might. Legends of them continue to be told today, and it has been said that if human conflict ever again threatened to safety of Pokémon, that they would return to quell the fighting and preserve a climate of peace.

===Forces of Nature===
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
Long ago, the Pokémon {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Tornadus}} began to fight, destroying the landscape in the process. {{p|Landorus}} then descended upon the two to end the dispute. It is said that should {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} ever fight again, {{p|Landorus}} will return to keep the peace.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, it is said the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature were the ones to fight, with Landorus coming to quell the harsh battle.

==Generation VI==
===Aura Trio===
{{main|Aura trio}}
Xerneas and Yveltal are great forces, being capable of giving and stealing life energy respectively. Xerneas shares life by glowing its horns in seven colors, while Yveltal's feathers near the gray pattern on its chest glow when it is about to steal life energy. When they are at the end of their lifespan, Xerneas releases all of its life energy into all the living things in around it, while Yveltal expands its wings and steals all of the life energy of every living thing around it. Afterwards, they transform into a tree and a cocoon respectively, to sleep for 1,000 years. Zygarde Cells are always monitoring the balance between Xerneas and Yveltal, and whenever it is disrupted or destroyed, Zygarde comes to unleash its wrath. These three Pokémon, according to [[Professor Sycamore]], are "incarnations of nature that take care of the land".

A Monsieur in [[Anistar City]] recounts the legends of Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}:

====Xerneas====
''"It happened around 800 years ago. The Pokémon known as Xerneas used its shining horns to illuminate the lands of Kalos. At that very moment, people and Pokémon throughout the land felt great energy and vitality surge through their bodies. At the same time, a vast forest sprang up, with Xerneas at its center. Legend has it that, when it nears the end of its thousand-year life span, Xerneas releases all of its remaining energy, sharing it with all living things nearby. There's another story I know that talks of the appearance of just such a fortuitous Pokémon. Back 3,000 years ago, the Kalos region was engulfed in a terrible war. So the tale goes, a Pokémon came to the rescue of all the wounded Pokémon that had been caught up in the conflict. Some people suspect the Pokémon that appeared was Xerneas, but there's no way to know. Maybe they just wished a Legendary Pokémon had come to the rescue to brighten a tale of woe. Supposedly, after Xerneas had released its remaining energy, it transformed into a dried-up tree. It remains in hiding deep within the forest. According to old tales, as I say. Stories and tales."''

====Yveltal====
''"It happened around 800 years ago. The Pokémon known as Yveltal spread its ominous wings, engulfing the lands of Kalos in darkness. At that moment, people and Pokémon throughout the land began to fall one by one. Yveltal let out a piercing cry and took to the sky, vanishing to an unknown location. Stories say that when it nears the end of its thousand-year life span, Yveltal absorbs the life force of the living things around it in order to charge its own energy. Another tale talks of the appearance of just such a terrifying Pokémon. Back 3,000 years ago, the Kalos region was engulfed in a terrible war. According to the stories, a Pokémon appeared and stole the life force of countless living beings. Some people suspect the Pokémon that appeared was Yveltal, but there's no way to know. Maybe they're just using a Legendary Pokémon as a metaphor for war and pestilence. In the tales, after Yveltal finished storing the energy it had absorbed, it transformed into a kind of cocoon, remaining in hiding deep in the mountains. According to old tales, as I say. Tales and stories."''
|}

==Generation VII==
===[[Guardian deities]]===
According to the legends of [[Alola]], the Guardian deities serves as protectors of the island they each reside in. At one point in the past, they participated in a war against each other, while serving the royals of their representative island and using {{m|Guardian of Alola|giant forms}}. Eventually, due to the destruction the war brought, they stopped being involved in human affairs. They occasionally fight to see who is the strongest, which lead to the creation of the [[Battle Royal]] format. Whenever an [[Ultra Beast]] appears in Alola, the deities will fiercely fight against it in order to protect their islands from invaders.

According to a book called "The Light of [[Alola]]" found in Malie Library, when {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}} emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] and fought against the Guardian deities, defeating them easily. As a reward, [[Tapunium Z]] was bestowed upon them. Then along with Lunala{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}}, the pair proceeds to create many of the Nebula Pokémon known as {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to protect and watch over until they fully evolved before returning to [[Ultra Space]].

According to the secret notes found hidden in the Malie Library, at one point, {{p|Necrozma}} the "Pillager of Light" invades [[Alola]], stealing all of its light, shrouding the region in darkness, the Tapus fought hard to regain back the light stolen. Together with the assistance of a youth and injection with the [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s, proceeds to banish Necrozma from Alola, restoring light back to Alola while freeing Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} that was absorbed by Necrozma.

===[[Light trio]]===
As said in an ancient legend on the [[SM074|origins of Alola]], the legendary trio brought light into the [[Alola]] region when it was first created. Ultra Necrozma's light shrine the brightest of the trio, resulting in the ancient people calling it the "Blinding One".

According to a book called "The Light of [[Alola]]" found in [[Malie City|Malie Library]], a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}} appeared in [[Alola]] many years ago through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The ancient kings of Alola bowed down to the [[Legendary Pokémon]], worshipping it. The [[Guardian deities]] battled it, but were defeated by it, who then however gave the [[Tapunium Z]] to them as a reward. The Legendary Pokémon then created several {{p|Cosmog}} as heirs for Alola, giving the Guardian deities the task of watching over them until they have fully evolved. In gratitude, the kings of Alola gave their thanks with a song on the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s at the [[Altar of the Sunne]] {{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]] {{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}}, at which point the Legendary Pokémon returned to [[Ultra Space]].

Long ago in ancient times, Necrozma as the "Blinding One" once shared its light across [[Ultra Space]] and [[Alola]]. This led to the creation of [[Z-Move]]s and the aura that surrounds [[Totem Pokémon]]. However, the residents of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] attempted to control the Prism Pokémon in order to create light. This resulted in Necrozma being permanently injured, reducing it to a crystalline body while in constant pain. Pieces of its original body rained down onto Alola in the form of [[Sparkling Stone]]s. In retaliation, Necrozma stole all the light from Ultra Megalopolis, leaving that world forever in darkness. In response, the residents locked Necrozma in the [[Megalo Tower]] in order to prevent it from escaping.

According to the secret notes found hidden in the Malie Library, Necrozma invaded Alola and stole its light, causing the region to be covered in darkness. It fought fiercely against the [[Guardian deities]] near the [[Tapu Village]] and a Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. During which, it absorbed Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} and transforms into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. When a youth came together with the Tapu and by using the power of the [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s, they freed the Legendary Pokémon and banished Necrozma from Alola, bringing light back to it. Dubbed the "Pillager of Light" as result of moment in history, the king of Alola had all books mentioning Necrozma burned in order to prevent further panic.

==={{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}===
According to the ancient texts and research by [[Professor Willow]], {{p|Melmetal}} existed 3,000 years ago living in a secluded place filled with sedimentary rocks rich containing magnetite. It was worshipped for the ability to create iron out of nothing, which was used to create special and unique metal tools. At some point, Melmetal split into multiple {{p|Meltan}}. Its followers wanted to keep the Meltan safe, so they placed them into the [[Mystery Box]], serving as the only way for Melmetal to return. The box can only be unlocked when exposed to air from any natural environment.

==Generation VIII==
==={{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}===
According to legends, the duo were said to have guarded [[Galar]] and were believed to be the rulers of the region. Both were referred to as the Fairy King's Sword and Fighting Master's Shield respectively, earning the respect of some and the fear of others. 3,000 years ago, the duo witnessed a [[Wishing Star]], from where {{p|Eternatus}} appears. As a result of Eternatus attempting to absorb Galar's energy to stay alive, a phenomenon known as the [[Darkest Day]] was said to have occurred. This black storm caused Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]], while going on rampages in the process. Zacian and Zamazenta fought a hard battle against Eternatus, defeating it, before sealing it deep within the Galar region.

However, due to receiving injures from the fight, the duo retreated to the [[Slumbering Weald]]. They then transformed into statues before entering a deep sleep, supposedly lasting for eons. The duo also left behind the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. In time, the heroes became nearly forgotten due to slumbering for so long. The ancestors of the first kings of Galar covered up their history as well, replacing it with two young youths who saved Galar from the Darkest Day, as opposed to {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}.

==={{p|Eternatus}}===
According to legends and the [[Pokédex]], Eternatus arrived in [[Galar]] inside of a meteor 20,000 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. 17,000 years later Eternatus began to absorb all of Galar's energy in order to stay alive. As a result, it caused a phenomenon in the shape of a black storm: the [[Darkest Day]]. This phenomenon unleashed [[Dynamax]] energy throughout the region. Eternatus' presence caused Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] before going on rampages across [[Galar]]. Later Eternatus fought a long and difficult battle against the legendary heroes {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, ultimately being defeated by the duo. It was sealed deep with the center of Galar in order to prevent Eternatus from awakening and causing a second [[Darkest Day]].

Eternatus then proceeded to enter a deep slumber in order to fully healed from its injures. In time, Eternatus' power began to slowly leak out in the form of Galar Particles. As the particles spread throughout the region, they created Power Spots and [[Pokémon Den]]s where [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] transformations can occur. Solid pieces of Eternatus also rained down, called [[Wishing Piece]]s, [[Wishing Chip]]s and [[Wishing Star]]s. Still holding Eternatus' power, Wishing Pieces, Chips, and Stars can summon [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon.

I've noticed that the forums moved to a new address and because of that, the links to the old forums on the bottom of many pages don't work and clicking on it just leads to the message that says the address was changed to the current one. Shouldn't we fix this and is there anyway that I can help with this? --[[User:Willyh106|Willyh106]] ''([[User talk:Willyh106|Talk]])’’ 14:23, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
:Could you give some examples? We've updated several templates, but it's possible there are some we missed.

::One example I just thought of was the "May Club" link on [[May (anime)|this page]]. It is an old, closed thread, but it worked fine and I was able to look at it without any problems before the forum changed its address. I think I saw more and some more examples I can think of are links like the "Rules" link at the [[Bulbagarden forums]] page itself and also the link to the "AdvanceShipping Nation" on the [[AdvanceShipping]] page too. I think that even if it is a tedious task, if we change all the old BMGf links to the current ones, people will have a more pleasant experience with gathering more info and we'll be able to avoid some possible confusion. Thank you for considering my suggestion. --[[User:Willyh106|Willyh106]] ''([[User talk:Willyh106|Talk]])’’ 17:05, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

== Massive and enraging grammar issue! ==

I've been editing anime and manga plots tonight, and most of my edits were undone because ''"they contained more grammar mistakes than before."''

Hear me out, when you are talking about a group of person, the subject is 3rd person singular.

Examples:

*Team Rocket ''is'' (NOT ARE) tired. ''It'' (NOT THEY) must rest a bit.
*The group ''searches'' (NOT SEARCH) for a place where ''it'' (NOT THEY) can stay the night.
*Team Rocket ''bumps'' (NOT BUMP) into Red.

Then, as far as I know, it's not the Trainer who uses a move, but the Pokémon itself.

Examples:

*Red sends out Poliwhirl and ''makes him use'' (NOT USES) Water Gun.

Having my hard-worked edits reverted when I know for a fact that I am right, made me legit mad.

I just want to help, so next time, can you either look up why I did this, or just ask me before you undo it all? Thanks. [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 06:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
:To be frank, expressing your anger like this won't earn you any points. You're welcome to debate the merits of your edits, but try to keep a bit more of a level head about it.
:That said, in most particular, the main page talk page really is not a very appropriate place to raise the question of your personal edits. Use the talk page for a page you were reverted on or use the other person's talk page.
:And I think I'll leave it there. If this is brought up in a more appropriate place, I'd be glad to comment as well as I can. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:18, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

::Me being "mad" (I wasn't really, it was just to illustrate my feeling of demotivation) is not the point I want to talk about, neither is my personal edits. The point is to inform editors about this important yet basic rule of english. The fact that (my) edits got deleted for this reason is just unexplainable. I wrote this on the main page to inform as much people as possible about this so that future edits can be better with a better level of english.

Grammar such as -Team Rocket ''is'' (NOT ARE) tired. ''It'' (NOT THEY) must rest a bit.-, while technically not incorrect, is highly unnatural. In normal English, when talking about a group of people and their actions, we tend to refer to the people within that group instead of the group as a singular.
-They search- is far more natural than "It searches", as in this case we are referring to a concrete action carried out by the members of the group, and not the group distinct from said members.
Any writing style guide will tell you not to say "it" when referring to a small or undefined group.
With regards to the trainer "using" techniques, either would be acceptable. This is simply a case of whether one wishes to emphasise the will of the trainer or not.--[[User:Montegue|Montegue]] ([[User talk:Montegue|talk]]) 16:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

== Set up donations ==

Bulbapedia, you need to set up some sort of donations button and put it on the sidebar of the site, to cut back on the sheer number of ads--any page I try to load takes up to 2 minutes to load and it lags out my computer. Other wikis like TFWiki.net have a donations bar, and in that case, anyone who really wants to support this site will donate to help keep it afloat--you can still keep ads to make an assured revenue, but cut it down severely. There's like 10 ads on a single page, that's crazy.

Please consider what I'm saying if you haven't already. If you do already have donations, please also put it on the sidebar. There is no shame in asking for donations to help this beautiful website. [[User:Titanollante|Titanollante]] ([[User talk:Titanollante|talk]]) 04:46, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Actually, I think I might know what's happening: Having a question mark in the title of a page means that everything after the question mark is data that should be sent to the page. So, in this case, it's saying "go to the link http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/" (that is the main page) "and give the website the information ????", and that information is not used. {{unsigned|Aaay}}

== Final battle page ==

This is a kind of proposition for a page. I don't know whether it should be a page or not so I'm posting my idea here to see if it's okay or not.

My idea is to make a "Final battle" page, basically a page that details the battle required to enter the hall of fame/see the credits. I know this sounds a lot like the Champion page but my idea was it would be more gameplay-focused and it would have some different people.

It could have the teams of the champions, both the initial battle and if there is a rematch, the rematch team. For the Black and White section it would have Ghetsis for the initial battle and Alder for the rematch team. For Sun and Moon it would have Kukui for the initial teams and all the other possible position keeping teams for the rematch.

Is this an idea that would fit the wiki? Should I start making this? ----[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 18:02, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Pokemon artwork ==

The artwork we use as the "official" art is inconsistent...

Certain Pokemon use artwork on Bulbapedia that differs from the normal stock art used in modern Pokemon media (such as official Pokedex guidebooks or the Pokedex website). Off the top of my head, the pages that have this are Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Rowlet, Litten, Popplio.

On the other hand, there are certain Pokemon that, although newer official art exists from newer games exist, we use the original artwork for. The only example I can think of at the moment is Rayquaza, but there may be more. Now I wouldn't have an issue with this - after all, the current image we have is the official stock artwork - but with the above fact, it creates a large inconsistency, that as far as I know, has not been brought up much.

I know I have said otherwise in the past, but, in my opinion, we should be using the stock art, that is used in modern official media (such as the Pokedex website). --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 23:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
:According to [[Talk:Rayquaza (Pokémon)#New Artwork]], to quote Tiddlywinks, "We go by the officially used stock art. In the online Pokedex, Rayquaza's entry does not use the ORAS artwork, it uses the artwork we're currently showing. (While all of our main Pokemon artwork may not conform to that guideline currently, it should.)"
:That's the most-recently-expressed staff ruling I know of, and it seems to match your suggestion, as far as I understand it.

==Huge Search Bar==

When I browse this website on my iPad, there is a huge search bar on the top of the page that covers important features, such as the links to "edit this page", "history" etc. as well as the links to my user contributions, preferences, etc. This happens even when I use the desktop mode. Can someone fix the mobile view in consideration of this issue? [[User:Mr. Daikon|Mr. Daikon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Daikon|talk]]) 02:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

I had that problem until I got my account. Now the website looks, on mobile, like it does on desktop. [[User:Dinosauramiable|Dinosauramiable]] ([[User talk:Dinosauramiable|talk]]) 12:22, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

== M22 ==

I know it has nothing to do with anything going on, right now... I just want to share this: Mewtwo will have its own movie after [[M21]]! It's called "'''Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution'''"!

I'd add the leaked image if I knew how to in this talk page, or whatever. Tell me how to add an image and I'll show the leaked title image

== Small Bouquet ==

(SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF LETS GO! THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!!!!!!)

Once I beat the indigo plateau, a cutscene involves your partner Pikachu/Eevee collecting flowers from a nearby flower bed in Pallet Town, and then it returns to normal gameplay, and the next time you go to partner play you will get a gift, is it always the small bouquet, or can it be something different?([[User:UltraNecrozma44|UltraNecrozma44]] ([[User talk:UltraNecrozma44|talk]]) (Quick unrelated note: today marks me having been on bulbapedia for a year) 16:42 January 8 2019 (UTC))

[[User:X127x|X127x]] ([[User talk:X127x|talk]]) 22:59, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
:The searhc bar is in the location it is because we use the Monobook skin, other wikis that do too you'll find have the search bar on the same place. If you want to, you can change the skin to vector in your preferences which places the search bar on the same place as on Wikipedia etc. this changes the look of the site however. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 14:11, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

== Mandarin and Putonghua ==

The official language (as well as the dub language of [[Pocket Monsters]]) of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China are Mandarin and Putonghua respectively. Although they are actually the same (but with minor difference in pronunciation and vocabulary), but there are many differences in the translations of [[Pokémons]], the titles of [[anime]] and [[movies]], etc. Therefore, in order to make clear, can Bulbapedia separate Mandarin{{tt|*|Taiwan}} and Putonghua{{tt|*|Mainland China}}? (Put Mandarin before Putonghua because the translations are usually released in Taiwan before in mainland China)--[[User:Tony Ng|Tony ]] ([[User talk:Tony Ng|talk]]) 04:01, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Lost in a thick fog on their way to Nimbasa City, Ash and his friends come across a wandering Audino who appears to be in a trance. Suddenly, they are stopped by Officer Jenny and two young detectives, Christie and Doyle, who accuse them of having something to do with the recent disappearance of several Audino. A background check reveals their innocence, and when Officer Jenny tells our heroes what’s been happening, they offer to help.

Splitting up into three groups, they vow to find the missing Audino and keep an eye on the town’s remaining Audino, with the help of some high-tech tracking devices. But just as they begin the operation, the remaining Audino start moving, and everyone takes off after them!

When the tracking signal gets jammed, Cilan speculates that someone might be controlling the wandering Audino and causing the tracking signals to fail by using high-frequency sound waves. With its excellent hearing, Ash’s Roggenrola leads the investigators to an abandoned wind farm, where they discover Team Rocket behind it all. Jessie, James, and Meowth have been luring the Audino, intending to use them as part of Doctor Zager’s powerful new radar device!

A fierce battle ensues and Team Rocket’s sound-wave machine is destroyed, freeing the captured Audino. However, when Officer Jenny attempts to arrest the villainous trio, they escape once again. Fortunately the Audino are now free and safe, and our heroes can once again resume their journey to Nimbasa City!

==Plot==
As {{ashfr|the group}} walks through fog, {{Ash}} wonders where they are going, while {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} comment that they have never really found their way at all. Suddenly, {{AP|Pikachu}} calls out, seeing something approaching. They initially mistake the mysterious shadow for a person, but Ash and Cilan find that it is just a dazed {{p|Audino}}. Ash checks Audino on the [[Pokédex]], though Cilan mentions there is something wrong with it. After many attempts to ask Audino what is wrong, and for directions, Audino ignores them and walks away.

After Audino goes away, the fog clears, exciting the group. However, they are confronted by an [[Officer Jenny]] and two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s named [[Christie]] and [[Doyle]], who declare that they are under arrest. Both Christie and Doyle shout at them, claiming that they are the ones responsible for the disappearances of several Audino. The group protests, but the boy tells his {{p|Solosis}} to use {{m|Psychic}}; it obeys and lifts them off their feet. The group proclaims their innocence. Cilan tries to explain to Officer Jenny that he is the [[Striaton City]] [[Gym Leader]] and for her to confirm it. After making a phone call, Officer Jenny confirms that they haven't done anything wrong and apologizes. She then explains that many people's Audino have gone missing, and are possibly getting stolen. The kids accompanying Officer Jenny, Doyle and Christie also apologize for the accusations. Doyle then reveals one of the missing Audino is his grandfather's. He then gets angry again and berates the "evil organization" that is behind it. Christie asks what the evil organization could be doing, while her {{p|Gothita}} agrees. Doyle thinks for a while, and says that they possibly want to make a healing organization, something Christie doesn't think is likely. Officer Jenny quickly breaks up the subsequent squabble.

Suddenly Officer Jenny receives a radio callout, so she and the others rush over to the local [[Pokémon Center]] where [[Nurse Joy's Audino]] has also disappeared. Jenny reveals that so far four Audino have gone missing. Cilan becomes interested and decides to help on the case, claiming it is "detective time". Ash and Iris decide to help too, so they all split into pairs: Ash and Doyle, Iris and Christie, and Cilan and Officer Jenny. Before all of them could leave, Officer Jenny gives them a tracking device to put on the area’s three remaining Audino and a screen to monitor where they are going. All of them agree and head off.

After all three pairs provide the three remaining Audino with the tracking devices, all three Audino suddenly wander off on their own accord, and not even [[Poké Ball]]s can restrain them. While all three pairs are chasing their respective Audino, they suddenly hit a crossroads and meet up with each other, much to their surprise. Doyle and Christie have their Pokémon use Psychic and Telekinesis which manages to stop two Audino from wandering any further. However the third one gets away, and its tracker has fallen off. Cilan suspects the culprits behind the disappearances are aware of the group’s actions. After learning that the tracking chips rely on sound waves, Cilan claims that the thieves must be using low-frequency sound waves to attract the Audino. With more consideration, Cilan tells Ash to bring out his {{AP|Roggenrola}} because it is sensitive to frequencies.

Following the in trance Audino and Ash's Roggenrola, the investigative team comes to a ladder. The Audino scale the ladder before pulling it up, effectively stopping Ash and the others from following. Ash unsuccessfully tries numerous times to go and follow them, but to no avail. Doyle then has Solosis use Psychic to transport him and the others to the top. They next see the Audino walking along a bridge. They attempt to walk across the bridge as well, but the Audino destroy it with Psychic. Doyle tries to get his Solosis to use Psychic yet again to carry them across, but Christie interrupts and tells her Gothita to use Telekinesis, which has the same effect.

After venturing further, Roggenrola leads them to an abandoned wind farm base area. Inside {{TRT}} are thrilled with their successful scheme, they praise [[Dr. Zager]]'s genius idea of using sound waves to attract the Audino while jamming any tracking devices. [[James]] explains that Zager plans to use the Audino to create a superior radar system. As two more Audino step into the captives’ cage, Cilan confronts the evil trio. Team Rocket break into their {{motto}} before bringing out {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Yamask}} to attack everyone. Doyle and Christie use their Pokémon to fight back. Solosis uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Woobat before Gothita knocks it down with a {{m|Psyshock}}. Yamask fires a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Solosis dodges and retaliates with {{m|Night Shade}}. Roggenrola whips up a {{m|Sandstorm}}, only to be blown into a wall by Woobat’s {{m|Gust}} attack. Ash has Roggenrola attack the machine that is keeping the Audino captive with {{m|Stone Edge}}, which destroys it and sets the Audino free. The Audino angrily deliver multiple attacks at Team Rocket. The trio then retreats with jetpacks, much to Officer Jenny's dismay. Doyle and Christie ask Officer Jenny who helped out more, and she explains to them that Roggenrola was really the one who helped solve the case the most. The two kids sigh at the response.

PinkYoshiFan: minor fix

[[File:Doyle.png|thumb|250px|Doyle]]
'''Doyle''' (Japanese: '''アラタ''' ''Arata'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[BW035|Where Did You Go, Audino?]]''.

Doyle was determined to find out what was causing {{p|Audino}} to disappear from the village after his grandfather's had vanished. He and [[Christie]] would often argue about who would discover the missing Audino first and would compete with one another using their {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon. He had a hunch that [[Team Rocket trio|an evil organization]] was taking control of the Audino.

Later on, Doyle was partnered up with {{Ash}} to watch after an elderly couple's Audino, on which they put a tracking device. The Audino soon started acting strange and they followed it and met up with [[Officer Jenny]], {{an|Cilan}}, Christie, and {{an|Iris}}. Doyle managed to slow one of them down with Solosis's {{m|Psychic}}.

Doyle and the others soon found all of the missing Audino and found out that they were being lured by sound waves that Team Rocket had created. He then used Solosis to battle both [[Jessie's Woobat]] and [[James's Yamask]]. After the case was solved, Doyle was eager to know if Solosis had helped out more than Christie's {{p|Gothita}}. However, Officer Jenny informed both of them that [[Ash's Roggenrola]] helped out the most, leaving them both disappointed.

'''Striking Golduck''' (Japanese: '''VSゴルダック''' ''VS Golduck'') is the 77th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
On [[Cerise Island]], {{adv|Blue}} is walking with [[Koga]]. They find themselves lost in the maze created by Agatha's {{p|Arbok}}. Koga finds the broken tail of his own Arbok that got cut by [[Agatha]]'s Pokémon earlier. They immediately figure out that they have been going in circles and try to figure out a way to get out.

Koga starts to faint, and says it is not normal for him to lose so much strength simply from a {{m|Leech Life}} from {{TP|Koga|Golbat}}. He thinks that something else is draining away his energy, and Blue tells him to take it easy. Blue hears a sound from behind and looks down and notices his own shadow lengthening; he releases his {{TP|Blue|Golduck}} to get ready. Koga calls his {{p|Koffing}}, but {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} shoots from Golduck's shadow without warning and knocks down both Golduck and Koffing.

Blue sends out his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, {{TP|Blue|Scyther}}, and {{p|Ninetales}} to attack Gengar, but it escapes into Blue's shadow and attacks Blue's Pokémon. Blue realizes that the more Pokémon he sends out, the more shadows Gengar can escape in, so he calls back his fainted Pokémon. Koga discovers his theory was right, that Gengar is stealing energy from himself, and Blue tells him to stay where he's sitting. Blue sends out his {{TP|Blue|Porygon}} and makes it use {{m|Conversion}} to make Gengar's physical attacks useless. However that doesn't stop Gengar from attacking Blue, and he wonders if there's a way to bring Gengar out of the shadows.

In the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] in [[Pewter City]], [[Brock]] orders {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} to protect the tank of {{p|Kabuto}} while heading out with other Geodude to attack the {{p|Machoke}}, but one Machoke goes past the Geodude and grabs Brock. At [[Celadon City]], [[Erika]] is being attacked by multiple {{p|Shellder}}, and is barely holding on using her {{p|Tangela}}, when one of her servants comes in to tell Erika something. In [[Cerulean City]], [[Misty]] is easily losing to multiple Gengar and {{p|Haunter}} when Erika contacts her, she says that more of the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon are attacking [[Viridian City]], [[Vermilion City]], [[Fuchsia City]], [[Saffron City]] and [[Cinnabar Island]]. Misty uses her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to try and send a message to the heroes on Cerise Island.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]] try to get out of [[Agatha]]'s maze.
* Blue and Koga are attacked by [[Agatha's Gengar]].
* [[Brock]], [[Erika]], and [[Misty]] try to protect their cities against the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon.

'''Make Way for Magikarp''' (Japanese: '''VSコイキング''' ''VS {{tt|Koiking|Magikarp}}'') is the 74th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
{{Adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] are searching for the [[Elite Four]] in the {{isl|Cerise}} [[Cave]] when they find a giant stone bridge with a giant "pond" under it. They decide to cross using the stone bridge. Bill then slips and falls into the "pond", but Bill's {{p|Magikarp}} uses {{m|Splash}}, putting Bill and {{p|Magikarp}} safely on the stone bridge. When Bill looks at his shoes, he sees that they have melted. [[Bruno]] appears and tells them that the stone bridge is a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Onix}}, and that if they cross the bridge, victory is theirs. Lt. Surge accepts the challenge.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Cerise Cave, [[Blaine]] and {{Adv|Yellow}} are searching for the Elite Four, but haven't found a trace of them. Blaine borrows Yellow's [[Pokédex]] and checks the "{{p|Pikachu}} Emotion Mode" for [[Pika]], and says that the levels are off the charts. Yellow tells him that he senses Pika will soon remember something important. Blaine suggests that after {{Adv|Red}}'s battle with the Elite Four, Pika lost the memory of the battle. However, there is no time to think about that because they've just sighted Bill and Lt. Surge.

Unfortunately, there is a clear wall between them, so they cannot help Bill and Lt. Surge. They can only watch as the battle continues. Lt. Surge's {{p|Electabuzz}} uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} and Bill's {{p|Vulpix}} uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Bruno jumps to avoid the attacks. Bruno then sends out his {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, and his {{p|Machamp}}.

==Major events==
* [[Lt. Surge]] and {{adv|Bill}} are challenged to a battle by [[Bruno]].
* {{adv|Yellow}} and [[Blaine]] catch up to Lt. Surge and Bill, but are blocked.

'''Pibu''' (Japanese: '''ピチュ''' ''Pich'') is a {{p|Pichu}} that {{adv|Gold}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and his eighth overall. Pibu was hatched from an Egg laid by {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]].

==History==
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[File:Pibu Egg.png|thumb|200px|left|Pibu's Egg]]
Pibu was created in ''[[PS160|Playful Porygon2]]'' when his parents, {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]], were left in the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care]] after Yellow had stopped there after a run-in with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}. The Day Care was [[PS173|later]] attacked by [[Masked Man]]'s mind-controlled forces so that he could obtain the [[Silver Wing|Silver]] and [[Rainbow Wing]]s and create the [[GS Ball]]. To protect their unborn child, Pika and Chuchu escaped to the [[Ilex Forest]], only to be immediately captured by [[Pryce]]. Pryce used the two as hostages so that {{adv|Gold}} would be forced to surrender and stop chasing after him.

After Gold gave up, Pryce tossed the {{p|Pikachu}} and the [[Egg]] away since he no longer had a use for them. Gold managed to catch the three before they fell and was left at the mercy of Pryce's attacks. After Pryce left, Gold learned from {{adv|Professor Oak}} that he had a special talent in hatching Pokémon Eggs. Just then, the Egg hatched into a Pichu, a Pokémon no one had seen before. Together, Gold and Pichu followed Pryce into the Crack in Time to stop his evil plans. Although they fought hard, Pryce managed to defeat Gold and Pichu by freezing them in the time stream, which had the effect of trapping them in a thin sheet of ice. After being rescued by their friends, Gold and Pichu jumped into the Ilex Forest shrine once again to stop Pryce from using {{adv|Celebi}} to go back in time. With electricity absorbed from {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Raikou}}, Pichu destroyed the GS Ball and freed Celebi with an attack Gold dubbed "{{m|Volt Tackle|Super Rising Thunder}}". With Pryce defeated, Pichu, Gold, and their friends were safely returned to the real world. There, Pichu was reunited with his parents and given the nickname "Pibu" by Yellow.

In [[PSs1]], Gold and Red go to train on [[Mt. Silver]], with Pibu being trained by his father. However, he was quickly kidnapped by a wild {{p|Venusaur}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}, who injured Gold, forcing Red and Pika to get Pibu back alone. After a brief struggle, Pika defeated the two Pokémon and rescued his son. Later, the group rested at Red's house, where Red revealed that the Super Rising Thunder technique that Pibu used to defeat Pryce was actually the move Volt Tackle. Red then lent Gold his electricity-insulating gloves so that he and Pibu could practice using Volt Tackle.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
Pibu appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', where Yellow talks to Chuchu about reuniting with Pika.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
[[File:Gold and Pibu.png|thumb|right|150px|left|Pibu and Gold]]
In ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]'', Pibu fought in the final battle against [[Guile Hideout]]. He was first sent out to hand {{adv|Emerald}} the soil from [[Faraway Island]] and then went to join his parents out in the sea. After the combined efforts of the [[Pokédex holder]]s' ultimate moves failed to defeat Guile's monster {{p|Kyogre}}, Pibu, Pika, and Chuchu finished the creature off with a triple Volt Tackle. After the final battle had ended, Pibu was seen playing with {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Raikou.

==={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
In ''[[PS459|All About Arceus VIII]]'', Pibu helped Celebi gather herbs to make medicine to cure {{adv|Giovanni}}'s disease while he was off helping Gold, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. He is assisted by the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], and they meet the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], who were guarding the forest under Giovanni's command. When a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s put the Elite Trio under the pretense that they are traitors, they accidentally trample over the two Pichu. Angered, Pibu and the Spiky-eared Pichu attack the Grunts by shocking them. This allows the Elite Trio to get away fast enough so that they can hand the herbs to Giovanni and heal his disease. When Pibu returns to Gold, he blushes when Gold points out that he brought a girl Pichu home with him.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Pika Chuchu Pibu.png|left|thumb|120px|Pibu, Pika, and Chuchu]]
Due to {{adv|Gold}}'s efforts to protect Pibu's [[Egg]], Pibu has inherited most of his personality as a result, as well as having the same tuft of hair. One of his most prominent traits is his willingness to help others out no matter what, which was shown the instant he was born. Pibu has a great relationship with both of his parents, [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]].

==Trivia==
* Pibu is Gold's only Pokémon that doesn't have a nickname that ends in "bo".
* Pibu is the only Pokémon Gold keeps on hand that has not reached his final form.
* Pibu is Gold's only Pokémon who has never had his level revealed.

PinkYoshiFan: /* Types of English */ new section

Why do people keep removing my edit to the trivia of Noibat stating that "Despite having the lowest base stat total of all Dragon-Type Pokemon, Goomy's PokeDex entry states it is the weakest Dragon-Type.{{unsigned|ScareWolf}}
:Because the base stat total is not the only factor that determines how weak a Pokémon is. One can argue that Noibat's moveset, higher Speed stat, Abilities, and type combination make it overall stronger Pokémon than Goomy.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 00:10, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

== What does it mean when an edit's patrolled? ==

I see a list [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=patrol&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_tag_log=1 here], but I don't know what it means. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 21:42, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
:It's supposed to be the staff's way of knowing which edits have been monitored, although we don't really use it since the [[Special:RecentChanges|RC]] isn't ''too'' active and active staff tend to monitor all edits, anyways. Basically, when we view the diff of an edit, we have the option of marking it as patrolled, which means that a staff member has reviewed the edit and deemed it okay. Most of the edits you see in that list have been automatically marked as patrolled--staff members at the Senior Administrator level and higher have all of their edits automatically marked as patrolled. In short, it's not really something you need to worry about. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 21:52, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

== "How do I change my username?" ==

I have just realized that this is likely a commonly-asked question (it's certainly one I'd like to ask) that isn't on this page. Should it be added? [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:49, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
:You can't. If want to change contact the edit bord.
:[[User:Horton Hears a murder|Horton Hears a murder]] ([[User talk:Horton Hears a murder|talk]]) 18:51, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
::I figured that was the case. Proooobably should still be added though, so you don't get a lot of people asking it. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:56, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
:::[[Bulbapedia:Username policy#Changing usernames]]. It's around anyway, and in the navbox at the bottom of this page. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

== When do I become auto-confirmed? ==

This seems like the type of question many users would be asking. I'm aware of the auto-confirmation this wiki and many others use (hello from the Super Mario Wiki!). I also know that the different wikis have different time-frames of when users become autoconfirmed, so my question, as stated above, is when do users become autoconfirmed? I can't seem to find the answer on the FAQ. [[User:Alex95|Alex95]] ([[User talk:Alex95|talk]]) 22:00, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
:my understanding is that the staff refuses to tell anyone and changes it regularly to keep people from only doing enough edits to be autoconfirmed and then not being productive. Although it probably wouldn't hurt to just say that on the FAQ. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 22:06, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
::Huh. I got Pokken Tournament for my birthday and was looking up more info about it, to find that the advisor, [[Nia]], doesn't have a page. I'll need to make a few more edits before I can start making pages of course, I was just wondering how many edits need to have been made and/or what the waiting period is. [[User:Alex95|Alex95]] ([[User talk:Alex95|talk]]) 22:26, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
:::That is somewhat understandable, but as per the talk page for Zesty Cactus, "The requirements to become autoconfirmed are based on both your number of edits and how long you've been a member of the site. The exact requirements are a secret, so I can't tell you, sorry!" My suggestion is to ask a member of staff like Jo The Marten about what would go in that article and the text and maybe it can be created for you. Maybe this will not work out in the end, but it is the best that I can suggest. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:35, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

==Add new info about the protected Pokémon beta pages?==
Do you think adding a question/answer combo for why the pages about certain Pokémon game development periods are protected so that non-staff users can't edit them? [[User:Tag365|Tag365]] ([[User talk:Tag365|talk]]) 06:53, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

== Types of English ==

Does Bulbapedia officially use American or British English? -[[User:PinkYoshiFan|Pink]][[User talk:PinkYoshiFan|Yoshi]][[Special:Contributions/PinkYoshiFan|fan]] 18:15, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

==Blurb==

On the way to Shalour City, Clemont suggests a Double Battle to help Ash train for his upcoming Gym battle. Ash's Froakie and Hawlucha team up against Clemont's Pokémon, but their battling styles are so different that they just aren't getting along. Ash is trying to teach them how to combine their attacks into a single move he calls Super Flying Cut when he's pulled into the woods by a ghostly forest Pokémon called Trevenant!

Hawlucha and Froakie work together to rescue Ash, and after Trevenant lets him go, he finds out why the Pokémon grabbed him in the first place. Team Rocket has caught two of Trevenant's Pokémon friends in an electrified net, and it needs Ash's help to rescue them. Pikachu's Iron Tail quickly sets the Pokémon free, and a perfect Super Flying Cut sends the villains blasting off again!

==Plot==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
{{Ash}} is training with {{AP|Froakie}} for their upcoming Gym battle against Korrina as {{Ashfr}} watch and they all notice how pumped up Ash is. Just then, a piece of wood falls and is about to hit {{AP|Pikachu}} but Froakie saves him by using its newly learned {{m|Cut}}. Ash remembers the first time he and Froakie met when Froakie saved Pikachu from Team Rocket when they tried to steal him. Ash congratulates Froakie on learning Cut and thanks it for saving Pikachu, and Pikachu also thanks Froakie. Clemont suggests having a Double Battle, and Ash accepts.

Clemont and Ash are ready to begin, and Clemont is about to call out his first Pokémon, but before he can {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} comes out of its Poké Ball ready to battle. Clemont also goes with {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Ash decides that Froakie's partner will be {{AP|Hawlucha}}. When Hawlucha is called out it stands in a pose as Bonnie referees. Ash tells Hawlucha and Froakie to work together as a team, and before any battling begins Hawlucha holds out a fist to get a fist bump from Froakie. Froakie hesitates, but it does eventually give Hawlucha a fist bump and the battle begins. Clemont goes first telling Chespin to use {{m|Tackle}} on Froakie and Clemont tells Bunnelby to use {{m|Double Slap}} on Hawlucha. Ash tells Froakie and Hawlucha to dodge. Hawlucha, however, doesn't dodge and just takes the Double Slap hits from Bunnelby. Ash is impressed to see Hawlucha testing Bunnlby's strength, but Froakie isn't impressed. Ash tells Froakie to use {{m|Bubble}} and Hawlucha to intercept with {{m|Karate Chop}}. Clemont commands Chespin to use {{m|Vine Whip}} while Bunnelby keeps using Double Slap. Both Bunnelby and Hawlucha took hits as Clemont then tells Bunnelby to use {{m|Mud Shot}} on Hawlucha. As Bunnelby gets ready, Ash tells Froakie to use {{m|Water Pulse}} on Bunnelby to help Hawlucha out. This is where everything gets intense. Froakie uses Water Pulse on Bunnelby which is a successful hit, and this makes Hawlucha furious. It goes over to Froakie and begins yelling at it for getting in its way. As Chespin uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, Froakie dodges and the pins ended up hitting Bunnelby instead, getting knocked out in the process. Soon, Hawlucha gets so furious with Froakie that it uses {{m|High Jump Kick}} on it. Now Froakie's the one who's furious and it attacks Hawlucha with Cut. Hawlucha attempts to use {{m|Flying Press}} on Froakie, but gets confused because Froakie uses {{m|Double Team}}. Soon Ash breaks up the fight and tells Hawlucha and Froakie to stop, and the battle is called off.

Ash takes Froakie and Hawlucha away from the rest of the group and tells them they need to work together because they're on the same team. He comes up with a combo move for the two of them which he calls the "Super Flying Cut". It starts out with Froakie riding on Hawlucha's back, and then it jumps and uses Cut, and then Hawlucha finishes with Flying Press. Ash decides to start working on training, but Hawlucha stops Ash and tells him it thinks it and Froakie should make up for their argument first, and it extends its hand to Froakie attempting to apologize to it, but it turns away. Ash tells Froakie to make up with Hawlucha, but it still won't, and this causes more fighting between the two. Meanwhile, Clemont is making lunch for the group, and Serena gets out a basket of homemade [[Poké Puff]]s for the Pokémon, which makes most of them happy, but Chespin nervous. When Serena opens up the box, the Poké Puffs are gone. The gang demands the Pokémon to fess up to eating them, but they all shake their heads, expect Chespin who looks the other way. Serena remarks that even if no one will admit it, she'll know who the culprit is because she put in spicy Poké Puffs especially for {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}. All of a sudden, Chespin turns red and fire shoots out of its mouth, revealing Chespin was the one who ate all the Poké Puffs much to Serena, Bonnie and the Pokémon's anger.

Off near the forest, Ash is attempting to work on "Super Flying Cut" with Hawlucha and Froakie, but the two keep getting angry at each other and the bickering continues. Ash is fed up at this point and scolds the two for their behavior. He starts to instruct them to use the combo again, but he is dragged into the forest by a wild {{p|Trevenant}}. His friends hear the noise and rush over to see what's wrong.

Meanwhile in the forest, Ash sees he's being carried away by Trevenant and scans it with his Pokédex. He tells Trevenant he'd never do anything to hurt the forest and yells at it to let him go. Hawlucha and Froakie see this and attempts to rescue their trainer but they get caught in vines. They look at each other and growl angrily before looking in the opposite direction. Froakie begins swinging itself back and forth to try and shake loose from the vine, and Hawlucha does the same, but the two end up crashing into each other, causing them to argue once again, and this is enough to make the vines snap and free them. Froakie then sees Ash's hat on the ground and hands it to Hawlucha who puts the hat on its head. When the two find Ash they begin to battle Trevenant. Hawlucha attempts to use High Jump Kick, and Ash explains to it that Trevenant's immune to Fighting-type Moves because it's a Ghost-type. After Ash gets freed from Trevenant and reasons with it, it leads him, Hawlucha, and Froakie to a net where a wild {{p|Bonsly}} and {{p|Sudowoodo}} are being held. Ash attempts to free the two Rock types but gets shocked by the net. Just then Pikachu and the others come along as Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}} to free the two from the net before he gets caught in one.

No surprise, {{TRT}} are the ones who caught Pikachu in the net. A battle begins, and Ash has Hawlucha and Froakie battle Team Rocket. Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Froakie and Hawlucha both dodge it. Froakie uses its Frubbles to blind Pumpkaboo as Hawlucha prepares to use Flying Press. But being part Ghost-type, Pumpkaboo was unaffected as Jessie states that Fighting-type moves won't work as Ash says he's one step ahead as Froakie uses a close-range Water Pulse at Pumpkaboo, knocking it out. Clemont states that Flying Press was used to distract Pumpkaboo so Froakie will use a successful Water Pulse. After dodging James's {{TP|James|Inkay}}'s {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Psybeam}}, Ash tells Hawlucha and Froakie to use "Super Flying Cut" and they get the combo perfect, knocking out Inkay. Before Team Rocket is about to leave, Trevenant then comes along and uses {{m|Wood Hammer}} to smash the remote and free Pikachu from the net. Pikachu then blasts Team Rocket off with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

With Froakie and Hawlucha having put their differences aside, Ash and his friends say goodbye to Trevenant, Bonsly, and Sudowoodo as they head off towards Ash's Shalour Gym battle.

==Blurb==

It's time for Professor Sycamore's annual Pokémon summer camp, and Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie have been invited! The weeklong event is designed to build an even deeper bond between Trainers and their Pokémon. Of course, Team Rocket is on the scene too, disguised as camp chefs.

Soon, our heroes are making new friends: dancer Tierno and his nimble Squirtle, shutterbug Trevor and his feisty Charmander, and performer Shauna and her haughty Bulbasaur. Thanks to Serena's Pokévision video, Shauna is already a big fan! After a friendly battle, the new friends talk about their dreams for the future, and Serena realizes she's not sure about the purpose of her journey...

==Plot==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
{{an|Professor Sycamore}} is seen on a screen, advertising the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], which lasts one week, and its purpose to bring Trainers and Pokémon closer together by interacting with other trainers. As he finishes his invitation speech, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} arrive at the Pokémon Summer Camp, and all of them are dazzled at the sight of the camp, as well as the seaside. As they are admiring the view, Professor Sycamore calls out to them. They talk to the professor a bit, and Ash talks about how he had seen [[Korrina]] and her Mega Lucario, which the professor wishes he could have seen. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, who have been hired as chefs for the camp, are carrying food while they pass by and see Ash and his friends, having known that they would attend the camp, and quietly discuss plans to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} and everyone's Pokémon. However, they are interrupted by the custodian, [[Madame Catherine]], who keeps a close eye on them.

Meanwhile, [[Sophie]] assigns Ash and his friends to a cabin to stay in for the program. They are assigned to the Froakie cabin, which therefore identifies the group as "Team Froakie". The group takes enjoyment to the inside of the cabin, and like the overall conditions. While Ash looks out the window, {{an|Clemont}} notes how this is somewhat reminiscent of the time Ash and {{an|Serena}} first met. Ash agrees and tells Serena that they should make this experience a good one, which she concurs. As Ash looks out the window, he sees an ongoing battle between a {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}} and {{p|Conkeldurr}} outside. Ash and his friends go outside to watch the battle, and they are all impressed at Squirtle's mobility. The Squirtle's trainer then shows off his "dance" methods of battling, much to the dismay of the opponent. Squirtle uses its dance techniques to quickly dodge Conkeldurr's attacks, and soon defeats Conkeldurr with {{m|Skull Bash}}. The Conkeldurr's trainer then admits that he has never had quite a unique battle, while the Squirtle's Trainer makes a remark on how that's his battling style. Ash, impressed, comes up and challenges the trainer, while he introduces himself as {{an|Tierno}}. The two greet each other, and Tierno explains that he is part of "Team Squirtle". Meanwhile, after the two greet, Tierno quickly takes notice of Serena, and recognizing her, quickly runs off. He comes back, bringing a girl, and asks her if Serena is the particular girl that she recognizes. The girl is awed that she is seeing Serena in person. This causes Serena to question how the girl knows her, to which she explains that she saw her [[Pokévision]] video from [[XY021|several episodes before]], much to Serena's surprise. As the group begins to remember what Pokévision is, Clemont then is quickly flabbergasted at the thought of his rather disastrous Pokévision being seen by the public. However, {{an|Bonnie}} says that she made the video so that everyone could view it, much to Clemont's dismay. Meanwhile, the girl introduces herself as {{an|Shauna}}, and expresses her admiration of Serena's promotion video, while she is thanked by a flattered Serena.

The group, along with Tierno and Shauna, go to the nearby Pokémon Center, and Tierno heals up his Squirtle. Meanwhile, Shauna elaborates on how Pokévision videos are viewed and quickly shows Serena's Pokévision, which has a relatively large amount of views. Shauna then shows one of her many Pokévisions, particularly one with her {{TP|Shauna|Bulbasaur}}, while she reveals that she also has Pokévisions with a {{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Swirlix}}, and {{p|Gothita}}. Upon Shauna's request, Serena sends out her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, and Shauna takes a liking to it. Meanwhile, Shauna sends out her Bulbasaur, while Pikachu and Fennekin try to greet it. However, much to their dismay, Bulbasaur simply refuses to interact with them and turns away. {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} quickly pops out of its Poké Ball to happily join the interaction, and {{TP|Ash|Froakie}} also joins. Serena also gives them all PokéPuffs to enjoy, but Bulbasaur refuses to take one until Shauna directly gives one to it. Shauna explains that Bulbasaur isn't very sociable, and is only willing to interact with her. Meanwhile, as the Pokémon interact, a hyper {{TP|Trevor|Charmander}} quickly joins in and runs around spouting flames in happiness, much to the surprise of many of the Pokemon, while Chespin catches fire. However, Squirtle douses the flames. As Clemont notes on how this completes the Kanto starter trio, he then wonders where the Charmander's Trainer is. Its Trainer soon slowly climbs up the stairs, tired from chasing down Charmander. He apologizes to Tierno and Shauna for being late. As he comes in, he quickly apologizes for the small chaos caused by his Charmander, and introduces himself as {{an|Trevor}}. The group says that everything is alright, however. As he looks up to see the group, he also quickly recognizes Serena, and explains that Shauna had forced him into watching her Pokévision. Serena is quickly flattered by this. Tierno exclaims that the video was extremely cute, and Shauna explains that Tierno is very easily infatuated. Trevor also takes a picture of Pikachu, and explains to Ash that he aims to see every Pokémon in the Pokédex. Meanwhile, the children all introduce themselves to one another, and Ash also states that his dream is to become a Pokémon Master. This surprises Serena, which causes her to become slightly curious about pursuing a dream.

Meanwhile, everyone in the Summer Camp is brought to orientation. Professor Sycamore introduces the group to the custodian, Madame Catherine, as well as the chefs, which are Team Rocket in disguise. He also mentions that [[Diantha]] had participated in the Summer Camp when she was younger, and managed to place in the Hall of Fame. He then initiates that everyone participates in a one-on-one battle, with no points gained, so that the participants can all get to know each other. Ash, Serena, and Clemont choose Tierno, Shauna, and Trevor as their respective battle opponents. Bonnie serves as an audience for Ash's battle with Tierno. While Serena is battling Shauna, she feels nervous because she has never had an official Pokémon battle before, much to Shauna's dismay. She orders Fennekin to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, while Shauna orders Bulbasaur to use {{m|Energy Ball}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Bulbasaur quickly manages to overpower Fennekin's attack, much to Serena's surprise. Meanwhile, as Clemont is battling Trevor, Charmander quickly manages to set Chespin on fire, which causes it to jump into the sand to douse the flame. During Ash's battle with Tierno, Froakie is quickly outmaneuvered by Squirtle, and Squirtle manages to touch Froakie, which causes it to dismantle its {{m|Water Pulse}}. Tierno is declared the winner, and the rest of the battles are completed.

While everyone is at dinner, the children all talk about their goals. Shauna aims to become a famous Pokémon Performer, and Tierno aims to form a dance unit with his Pokémon. Clemont talks about how he is an aspiring inventor, and presents his [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]], which impresses the other children. Meanwhile, Team Rocket gets a raise from Madame Catherine, as the food they had cooked had received positive reviews.

Serena goes out on the dock, brushing Fennekin's tail as usual. As she brushes, she makes note of how all of her friends are pursuing their dreams, and begins to ask what her goal is.

==Blurb==

On the third day of Professor Sycamore's Pokémon summer camp, all the teams get to make their own Pokévision video! Pokévision fans Serena and Shauna are extra excited, and Shauna tells Serena all about the famous Aria's latest Pokévision video and her performance at the Pokémon Showcase, where Pokémon performers show off their partnership in style!

While scouting for a good shooting location, Serena and Ash tumble into a ravine! Ash twists his ankle, and while Professor Sycamore organizes a rescue party, Ash and Serena have time to talk about finding their dreams…even if Serena isn't quite sure what hers is yet.

After the rescue, Serena directs the rest of Team Froakie in shooting their video. When the campers vote for their favorite at a screening, our heroes come out on top! Our heroes are now tied for the most points with their new friends in Team Squirtle, as their summer camp journey continues.

==Plot==
As the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] continues, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are all doing a morning jog, and {{an|Clemont}} falls behind substantially. Later, Ash, his friends, {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}} all participate in a [[fishing]] competition, where they all fish for {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Though they all fish out many Pokémon, Trevor gives Team Squirtle the win by fishing out a {{p|Wailord}}, the largest capture of them all, in stark contrast to the mere {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Tentacool}} that Tierno and Shauna reeled out.

As the fishing competition ends, everyone from the camp gathers around in a room as {{an|Professor Sycamore}} introduces the major activity of the day: a [[Pokévision]] showdown. He declares that each team must make a Pokévision video, and that the team with the best Pokévision video wins for the day. Later on, Team Froakie returns to their cabin. {{an|Serena}} reveals to the group her plans for the Pokévision video, which she maps out through drawings. Ash and his friends all agree to the plan.

Serena and {{an|Bonnie}} then begin preparing [[Poké Puff]]s at the main hall, along with Shauna. As they do so, Shauna asks Serena if she has seen Aria's newest Pokévision video and mentions that Aria's popularity increased after she became a [[Pokémon Performer]]. This leaves Serena and Bonnie confused as they do not know what a Perfomer is. Shauna then explains that a Pokémon Performer participates in competitions called [[Pokémon Showcase]]s. They participate in the first round, known as Theme Performance, where they perform activities such as making Poké Puffs, grooming Pokémon, and performing with props, depending on the specific competition. After that, they compete in a Freestyle Performance where the Performers combine their skills with their Pokémon's moves. This becomes appealing to Serena and Bonnie as they are intrigued by this kind of idea. Shauna then goes on to explain that after winning three Showcases, a Performer heads onto the Master Class, and after winning there, they are awarded the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}. She then states that {{an|Aria}} is currently the Kalos Queen. It is also revealed that Aria's {{p|Fennekin}} is now a {{TP|Aria|Braixen}}.

Later on, Ash and his friends begin their Pokévision, and on the beach Team Squirtle begins their own. Serena begins running to an intriguing location to start the video, but she falls off the cliff. Ash quickly tries to save her, but also ends up falling with her. They both fall face down into the base of the cliff, while Clemont and Bonnie go seek help.

Ash and Serena are then alone down in the cliff. Ash has injured his foot by this time, but Serena helps nurse it with a wet cloth. The two then have a personal conversation. Ash talks about his own dream, which is to become a [[Pokémon Master]], and says that Serena should take her time to find her own goal. Serena remarks on how amazing Ash is, to his own surprise. Later, they express their bonds with their respective [[starter Pokémon]]. Soon enough, Professor Sycamore arrives with Clemont, Bonnie, and Team Squirtle, along with {{TRT}} in disguise, who show up as rescue workers. They show up with ropes and help Ash and Serena get up the cliff. Team Froakie then finds a large plain, ideal for making the Pokévision video. They proceed to record the video there.

At nighttime, all of the teams have finished recording their videos and are in the main hall to watch all of them. Team Squirtle has a video showing off each of their respective Pokémon. Later, many other Pokévisions are shown and everyone watches. Shauna and Serena then go outside to the docks to have a personal conversation. Motivated by the events earlier on in the day, Serena reveals that she wants to go watch a Pokémon Showcase and see what a Performer does, and Shauna decides to go together with her.

Later, the votes roll in. Team Froakie has won the competition in first place, with Team Chikorita and Team Charmander in second and third place, respectively. The groups then go on to continue their Summer Camp experience.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Serena.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Espurr}}
* {{an|Bonnie}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{Ash}} narrate the preview for the [[XY041|next episode]].
* The Netflix and {{pmin|the United Kingdom|United Kingdom}} airings refer to [[Pokémon Showcase]]s as the Pokétacular, as does the current Disney XD On Demand version.
* As of this episode, all forms of the [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* As of this episode, there are more regular episodes dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] than [[4Kids Entertainment]], if ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' aren't counted as regular episodes.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Mime Jr.}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} since {{OP|James|Mime Jr.}} last appeared in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', 197 episodes ago.

===Errors===
* During {{an|Shauna}}'s explanation of what a [[Pokémon Performer]] is, there are multiple mistakes with the {{p|Furfrou}} forms that appear as examples:
** The Star Trim Furfrou has its cyan star colored yellow and its bare ears colored white like its fur.
** The Heart Trim Furfrou has its pink heart colored red and its bare ears colored white like its fur.
** The Debutante Trim Furfrou has its yellow bow and collar colored cyan and the bow is on the right side of its head instead of its left.
** The Dandy Trim Furfrou has the tips of its ears, its tie, its hair, the stripe on its hat, and its tail colored purple instead of green.
** The Pharaoh Trim Furfrou has the tips of its ears, its stripes, and collar colored green instead of blue, the tip of its ear is left colored white, the black bare stripes on its ear are missing, it is portrayed much larger than the other four Furfrou, and the part of its body that would appear between the Heart and Debutante Trims Furfrou is not there.
* When {{TRT}} slides down the cliff that Ash and Serena fell into, [[Jessie]] is shown to have lipstick while still in disguise.
* At the end of the episode, the [[narrator]] states that Team Froakie, consisting of Ash and {{ashfr}}, and Team Squirtle, consisting of {{an|Tierno}}, {{an|Trevor}}, and Shauna, are tied with the most points. However, this is incorrect on both counts. On {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s points screen early in the episode, after the first activity with points awarded Team Squirtle has 10 points, Team Chikorita has seven points, and Teams Froakie and Charmander, which must have tied in the fishing competition, each have three points. For the Pokévision activity Team Froakie gains 10 points, Team Chikorita gains seven points, Team Charmander gains three points, and Team Squirtle gains zero points. This would bring the totals at the end of the episode to 14 points for team Chikorita, putting them in the lead, 13 points for Team Froakie, and 10 points for Team Squirtle (with six points for Team Charmander, putting them in fourth place).

==Blurb==

It's time for Pokémon Orienteering at Professor Sycamore's Pokémon summer camp! In this activity, the campers and their Pokémon follow a map to several different checkpoints, stamping their card at each one, and whoever gets all the stamps first is the winner! Our heroes in Team Froakie and their friends in Team Squirtle are neck and neck on their way to the finish line when a thick fog rolls in, separating Bonnie and Pikachu from everyone else.

Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna decide to put the race on hold to help Ash, Serena, and Clemont find them. After getting into some misadventures, Bonnie and Pikachu are safely recovered thanks to the cooperation among the two groups of friends and their Pokémon partners.

Unfortunately, they return to camp too late to win any points in the race, but the Team Squirtle trio declare that helping their friends was totally worth it! And on their way back, they spot a mysterious antlered Pokémon who causes flowers to bloom...

==Plot==
Another day at the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] rolls in, and the participants are all prepared to start the next activity. For the day, {{an|Professor Sycamore}} announces that the participants will participate in a competition of [[Pokémon Orienteering]], where the participants will all race to find all of the stamps around the campgrounds, and whoever is first will be the winner. Team Froakie and Team Squirtle are both exceptionally determined to win the competition, as they prepare.

Soon, all of the teams are at the starting line of the race. All of the teams are provided maps to navigate through the checkpoints. Sycamore declares the race begun, and the teams all run off to compete for all of the stamps. Professor Sycamore monitors all of the checkpoints of the race and keeps in contact with his assistants who keep watch over all of the checkpoints. Team Froakie and Team Squirtle both reach checkpoint one first, and {{Ash}} and {{an|Tierno}} both climb up the cliff to see the stamp point. {{AP|Froakie}} and {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}} aid them in this endeavor. However, Ash reaches the checkpoint first and receives the stamp.

Meanwhile, the next checkpoint is atop a bridge. This time, {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Shauna}} are up to reach the checkpoint, but Serena expresses immense acrophobia as she crawls across the bridge in extreme fear, and Shauna reaches the checkpoint as Serena is too scared to cross the bridge quickly. Shauna then runs off while Serena is still on the bridge and grabbing on in her continued fear. She eventually tags her map, still stressed, and walks off. The next checkpoint is within a maze, and {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Trevor}} then race through the maze. Clemont eventually reaches the checkpoint and wins first.

However, as the teams then reunite, they find themselves in a fog that clouds everything. Ash, being unable to see anything in the thick fog, runs into a tree. Team Froakie is lost, and {{an|Bonnie}} winds up separated from the group along with {{AP|Pikachu}}. She is lost and calls out to Ash, Serena, and Clemont. As they try to search for them, Bonnie and Pikachu then notice that flowers are suddenly blooming. A bizarre Pokémon then runs past them, much to their amazement. Bonnie runs after it.

Soon, Team Froakie runs into Team Squirtle. The two join efforts to try and find Bonnie and Pikachu. Ash sends out his {{AP|Fletchinder}} to find them. Meanwhile, Bonnie and Pikachu accidentally enrage a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}, but Pikachu wards them off. Soon, they run into an {{p|Amoonguss}}, who uses {{m|Spore}} on them, and Bonnie quickly falls asleep, falling off of a cliff in the process, only to be saved by a {{p|Drifblim}}.

Team Froakie and Team Squirtle run into and anger the same Amoonguss from before, who tries to attack them, but Froakie and Pikachu ward it off. Soon, they see Bonnie on the other side of a large valley separating them from her. Clemont notices a group of {{p|Drifloon}} and Drifblim at the bottom of the valley and suggests that they awaken them to form a large float for them to get across. They use their Pokémon to awaken the Drifblim, and Ash jumps across all of them and retrieves Bonnie, then jumps back up the Drifblim. However, he falls short of reaching the other side, and he and Bonnie almost fall down the canyon. All of his friends struggle to grab onto him and pull him up, and eventually succeed. After a while, Bonnie wakes up from her sleep. Just as she then excitedly tells them that she saw an incredible Pokémon who had amazing power, said Pokémon appears on the other side of the cliff. Although there is a thick fog surrounding it, it is clear that there is a {{p|Xerneas|X Pokémon}} who faces them, with its horns shimmering brightly. Before Ash can scan it with his [[Pokédex]] or Trevor can take a picture of it, however, it quickly runs off.

Team Froakie and Team Squirtle ultimately lose, but they congratulate the winning teams.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Bonnie.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Bonnie for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Amaura}}
* The Orienteering competition is very similar to the one in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''.
* Despite seeing {{p|Xerneas}} previously in [[M17|the seventeenth movie]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not recognize it, meaning either this episode takes place before it or this is a typical case of {{pkmn|movie}} events being ignored by the main anime with a few exceptions.
* Ash and {{an|Tierno}} narrate the preview for the [[XY042|next episode]].
* This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
** {{p|Drifblim}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', 272 episodes ago.
** {{p|Sneasel}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', 247 episodes ago.
** {{p|Drifloon}}, who last appeared in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', 198 episodes ago.

===Errors===
* When Tierno and {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}} jump on {{p|Amoonguss}}'s head, its eyes when they are closed are not colored black at all.
* When Ash is apologizing to Amoonguss, the part of its {{i|Poké Ball}}-like pattern on its right arm is colored gray instead of red.
* When {{an|Clemont}} and the others are rescuing Ash and {{an|Bonnie}}, a part of {{TP|Shauna|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb is colored the same way as its skin.
* There are major inconsistencies with the points rating during the {{pkmn|Summer Camp}} arc, which is further emphasized in this episode. In the beginning, {{an|Professor Sycamore}} mentions how Team Froakie, consisting of Ash and his friends, and Team Squirtle, consisting of Tierno, {{an|Trevor}}, and {{an|Shauna}}, have both 13 points. This corresponds with what the [[narrator]] says at the end of ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', but not with the points given during the events seen. In accordance with the activities that took place and the points given, Team Froakie should have 13 points, and Team Squirtle should have 10 points. Furthermore, they are both tied at the first place in the point ranking at the beginning of this episode, which is incorrect and should be Team Chikorita instead, who, also in accordance with the points given, should have 14 points. Also, Team Fennekin is shown to be at the second place in the ranking, while Team Bulbasaur is shown to be at the third place. However, at the activities shown in the previous episode, they were shown not to have obtained any points. It is possible that there have been activities taking place off-screen, although this is not implied and still does not explain how Team Chikorita is not on the top 3 ranking at all in this episode, even though they were shown to have obtained more points than both Team Froakie and Team Squirtle.
* In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish}}, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}}, and {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dubs, when Ash is jumping on {{p|Drifblim}}, his English voice can be heard.

==Blurb==

The Kalos League finals between Ash and Alain are in full swing, as Alain’s Charizard defeats an exhausted Pikachu. Next, Alain’s Bisharp defeats Goodra and falls to Greninja—and just as both Trainers have been hoping, it’s Ash-Greninja versus Mega Charizard X for the very last battle!

The attacks and strategies are fast and fierce, but in the end, Mega Charizard X is triumphant, and Alain becomes the Champion! But while all eyes have been on the Kalos League, Lysandre and Team Flare have been putting their plan into motion—and panic fills Lumiose City as the captured Zygarde unleashes its terrifying powers on Prism Tower...

==Plot==
Having reached the [[Lumiose Conference]] finals, {{Ash}} is now facing [[Alain]], who has proven to be an extremely powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}} to battle against. With the remaining Pokémon being three-to-two in Ash's favor, {{AP|Pikachu}} is now facing Alain's ace: {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu attacks Charizard with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the {{pkmn|category|Flame Pokémon}} shrugs off the [[super effective]] hit as if it was nothing. Ash commands a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Pikachu's previous battle against Alain's {{p|Metagross}} is starting to show its effect, causing the Electric Mouse to fall on his knee. A {{m|Flamethrower}} from Charizard lands a clean hit on Pikachu, who barely has any strength left to continue. Charizard takes flight and launches another Flamethrower, but Ash, using a tactic learned from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} on the ground, creating a cloud of dirt to block the incoming {{type|Fire}} attack. Alain compliments Ash's strategy before ordering a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, which Pikachu counters with an Iron Tail. The two moves clash, but the impact is too much for the weakened Pikachu, who finally [[Fainting|faints]], leaving both sides with two Pokémon remaining.

Back at the stands, [[Malva]] is commentating on the events taking place at the stadium, but her cameramen, {{TRT}}, are hardly paying any attention to her, instead complaining about Pikachu losing. [[James]], whom [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} had glared at for rooting for their [[Twerp|enemy]] [[XY130|earlier]], is glad to see his fellow team members cheering for Ash too, as none of them is wanting to see their longtime enemy lose to a guy like Alain. In the crowd, [[Ash's friends]] are discussing the battle situation. [[Sawyer]] points out that both of Alain's remaining Pokémon have already battled, while Clemont points that Ash's remaining two Pokémon are still at full health, giving him an advantage. {{an|Serena}} agrees to this, seeing the confident smile on Ash's face. At the VIP box, [[Mairin]] is encouraging Alain to do his best.

Ash sends out {{AP|Goodra}} as his fifth Pokémon, while Alain chooses to [[recall]] Charizard and send out his {{p|Bisharp}} again. In order to create an environment suitable for Goodra, Ash has the Dragon Pokémon use {{m|Rain Dance}}, creating a [[rain]]storm on the battlefield. Goodra begins the offensive with {{m|Ice Beam}}, which Bisharp dodges while charging in for an {{m|Iron Head}}. Goodra blocks the attack by grabbing Bisharp with its horns and then throwing it into the air. Goodra's assault continues with a {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, which is blocked by a {{m|Focus Blast}} from Bisharp. As Bisharp charges in for another Iron Head, Ash has Goodra use {{m|Bide}}, forcing it to take the attack. As Bide is charging, Alain continues his own offensive by having Bisharp attack with another Focus Blast and Iron Head, severely damaging Goodra. Ash launches a counterattack in the form of a full-charged Bide, which hits Bisharp dead on, causing it to fall on its knee. Back at {{rt|14|Kalos|the wetlands}}, [[Keanan]] and the wetland Pokémon are following the battle on [[Television|TV]], while [[Meyer]] and [[Clembot]] listen to the broadcast from a radio while doing a repair job on a roof in [[Lumiose City]].

Back at the stadium, Bisharp hits Goodra straight into the face with an Iron Head, causing the severely weakened Dragon Pokémon to fall on its knees. Alain orders Bisharp to go for the finish with a {{m|Guillotine}}, which Goodra desperately attempts to counter with a Dragon Pulse, but the Sword Blade Pokémon slices through the counterattack and delivers a devastating Guillotine, causing Goodra's endurance to finally run out and the resilient {{type|Dragon}} to faint. In the audience, Ash's friends show concern for him, as he has one Pokémon left and this may as well be his last chance to win the Lumiose Conference. Finally, Ash sends out his last Pokémon of the match: {{AP|Greninja}}. As Ash's {{type|Water}} is sent out, Malva comments how losing Greninja would result in Ash's defeat. Behind her, Team Rocket grumpily comments on how she's acting as if Greninja's defeat is only a matter of time, as they of all people know how tough Ash can be due to their battles against him all the time.

On the battlefield, both Trainers encourage their Pokémon to do their best. Alain commands an Iron Head from Bisharp, which Greninja counters with a {{m|Double Team}}. As Bisharp is trying to find the real one among the clones, Ash calls a {{m|Water Shuriken}} from Greninja, which makes a direct hit on Bisharp, finally taking it out of the fight. Sawyer realizes that Ash used the rain created by Goodra's Rain Dance to his advantage, as it powers up Greninja's Water-type moves. For his final Pokémon, Alain calls out his Charizard once again. Both Ash and Alain are determined to do their best with their final battlers. Both Pokémon charge in at each other, and Charizard fires a Flamethrower, but Greninja dodges it and strikes Charizard straight in the chest with {{m|Cut}}, causing the Flame Pokémon to be pushed back just as the rain clouds above the battlefield start clearing up. Even though the rain has ended, {{an|Clemont}} assures everyone that Greninja still has the advantage in type. Serena also has full confidence in Ash.

Looking at Alain, Ash swears he's not going to lose to him, and that he'll fight him with all of his power, activating the [[Bond Phenomenon]] and transforming Greninja into Ash-Greninja. Alain, getting excited of seeing Ash bringing out his full power, responds by [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his Charizard into Mega Charizard X. With both sides having brought out their best, the entire stadium is ready to witness the final round of the Lumiose Conference to unfold before their eyes.

Ash-Greninja charges at Mega Charizard X and uses Double Team, but Alain has his partner use Flamethrower to get rid of the clones. As all the Double Team clones are wiped out, Greninja emerges from the smoke left behind by the attack and hurls a Water Shuriken at Charizard, which is countered by a Dragon Claw. Ash orders Greninja to use {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and Alain responds with a command for another Dragon Claw. The attacks clash a couple of times until Charizard finds an opening and manages to land a direct hit on Greninja, causing Ash to cringe in pain as well due to the synchronization between him and Ash-Greninja. Charizard fires yet another Flamethrower across the battlefield, but Greninja blocks it just in time by using Cut to slice through the blue-hot flames. Alain has Charizard use its most powerful attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, but Greninja quickly counters the attack by slamming its Water Shuriken into the ground like a pickax, causing a wave of water to burst out of the ground and block the incoming Fire-type move. Using the resulting steam cloud as a cover, Greninja dashes close to Charizard and strikes it on the head with an Aerial Ace, causing it to get slammed down to the ground.

As Charizard struggles to get back up, Alain congratulates Ash on giving him a thoroughly enjoyable battle. But, as Mairin's image flashes in his mind, he then loudly declares that he's going to be the strongest, and will not lose to anyone anymore. A Dragon Claw from Charizard follows, slamming Greninja across the battlefield and causing Ash to cringe again. As Greninja gets back to its feet, Ash admits he's also been enjoying battling a strong opponent like Alain, but also vows that the battle is going to end now. After promising that there'll be no hard feelings no matter who wins, Ash commands a Cut from Greninja, getting a response from Alain in the form of a Dragon Claw. Both powered-up Pokémon clash furiously in the middle of the field for a few times, after which simultaneous attack commands are given by both Trainers: Water Shuriken from Greninja, and {{m|Thunder Punch}} from Charizard. Again, fierce attacks clash in the middle of the field for a few moments, until the Water Shuriken finally overpowers the Thunder Punch, and Greninja slams the shuriken straight into Charizard's chest, causing the Fire-type to slide back. Preparing for his ultimate move, Ash has Greninja use Water Shuriken, but this time, Ash-Greninja's watery aura wraps itself around the Water Shuriken, causing its size to increase dramatically and turning its color from watery blue to blazing orange. Alain, momentarily taken aback by the sight, orders Charizard to use Blast Burn. Both moves are fired at the same time, and both Greninja and Charizard can only watch as their opponent's ultimate attack strikes them, creating a massive explosion on both sides of the field.

The entire crowd is looking at the field in anticipation, no one making a sound. As the smoke and steam clouds clear up, both Pokémon are still standing. For a few moments, both Greninja and Charizard look at each other, not moving at all. Charizard stumbles, but just a second later, Greninja falls over, reverting back to its regular form. Ash-Greninja has been defeated, the battle is over, and Alain has won the Lumiose Conference.

Exhausted from the battle, Ash can't help but admire Alain and his Charizard's strength. At the stands, Ash's friends are downcast by his defeat, just when he had come so close to winning. Despite this, Sawyer and Clemont comment that Ash battled well, and Serena, seeing a smile on Ash's face, understands that Ash was nevertheless satisfied with the battle. Down at the battlefield, both Ash and Alain congratulate each other on a battle well fought, shaking hands as a sign of respect. Team Rocket, overwhelmed by the storm of emotions they're going through, decide to abandon their Pokémon capture plan, instead crying as Malva watches them. Mairin is glad that Alain won, and up at their personal stand, both [[Diantha]] and {{an|Professor Sycamore}} are clapping along with the crowd. Professor Sycamore wonders if this victory gave Alain the answer he was looking for.

Back inside, Ash apologizes to his friends for not answering their expectations, but they still congratulate him on how well he and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} fought, Clemont even reminding him how stubborn of an opponent Alain's Charizard can be. Ash vows to keep on battling more Trainers to become even stronger. Alone in his own room, Alain thinks about how his battle with Ash made him and his Pokémon grow even stronger, and how he's going to keep collecting Mega Evolution energy, being so close to the amount needed to save Mairin's [[Chespie]].

Inside the [[Team Flare]]-occupied [[Lumiose Gym]], [[Xerosic]] declares that the preparations are complete, having the {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s start the operation. The {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Cell}}-powered weapon is aimed at [[Z2]], and seconds later, the cannon fires a bright red beam at the imprisoned {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}}. At the same time, back at the League stadium, Diantha hands Alain the championship trophy, congratulating him on his training skills as the crowd, including Ash's friends, applaud for him. Ash, standing next to Alain, congratulates him as well. In the VIP box, Mairin is applauding to Alain too, being glad on his victory. She turns around to talk to [[Lysandre]], only to see that he's gone.

Back at the Gym, Z2 is falling under the influence of Team Flare's weapon, which [[Squishy]] is able to sense. Xerosic proudly presents the results of his research to Lysandre, who, entering the room, commands the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to unleash its power for him. Having fallen under Team Flare's control, Z2 declares to wipe the world clean of foolish people, bursting out of its container and through the side of the Gym, floating to the top of the Prism Tower. Lysandre and Xerosic enter the summit of the tower as well, witnessing how Z2 begins summoning its Cells from all across the city around it. A pulse of energy runs through the Prism Tower, and suddenly, enormous roots start bursting out of its sides and the streets below it, causing people to run and scream in panic. From their rooftop, Meyer and Clembot stare wide-eyed at the ensuing chaos. From the summit of the Prism Tower, the Team Flare Boss declares that the world will now be reborn into a new, beautiful world. Moments later, the massive roots also reach the League stadium, taking everyone by surprise and causing instant panic. Squishy, sensing that its fellow Core is in trouble, hops out of {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag and flees, with Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena in pursuit. As the roots continue to spread around Lumiose City, a bright red {{p|Zygarde}} lets out a vicious roar from the top of the root-covered Prism Tower.

It first aired in Japan on August 25, 2016 and in the United States on November 12, 2016.
{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

The Kalos League award ceremony is interrupted as giant creeping vines engulf the stadium and threaten to take over Lumiose City! Lysandre broadcasts Team Flare’s manifesto: they want to create a new world order, where only the “chosen ones” will join them.

Ash and Alain set off to rescue Mairin, but Ash is shocked to discover that Alain has been working with Lysandre, and Team Flare imprisons Ash atop Prism Tower. His friends try to help, but an angry Zygarde stands in their way—until it’s confronted by a second Zygarde, as Squishy transforms and reveals its true identity! A showdown is imminent, and it’s Zygarde vs. Zygarde!

==Plot==
After seeing the stadium infested with vines, {{Ash}} and [[Alain]] proceed to leave the stadium, and Alain asks Ash about [[Mairin]]'s whereabouts. Ash tells him that she didn't want to get in the latter's way, so she asked Ash to not tell him. He then asks Alain if Mairin is important to him; Alain confirms it, and Ash offers help in looking for her. Once they exit the stadium, they meet up with {{an|Bonnie}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Serena}}; Bonnie informs Ash that [[Squishy]] has wandered off. The group hears an announcement from [[Malva]], addressed to the citizens of [[Lumiose City]], warning them to stay away from [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] due to the danger it possesses. Wondering over the cause of the calamity, the group sees the red {{p|Zygarde}}, and Alain realizes that Zygarde must be behind the plant infestation. Squishy is seen heading to Prism Tower, and absorbs Zygarde Cells to transform into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Forme}} to increase its speed. Bonnie senses where Squishy is going and runs off to catch up to it. Ash tells Clemont and Serena to go with her and informs them that he is going with Alain to find Mairin. Clemont gives Ash a communicator to keep in touch with him and Serena advises Ash to be careful. Concurrently, [[Sawyer]], {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}} and {{an|Trevor}} call out {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}}, {{TP|Shauna|Ivysaur}}, {{TP|Tierno|Blastoise}}, and {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} respectively to help the citizens to safety from the vines. {{an|Professor Sycamore}} helps get people away from the roots as well, and remembers what Olympia said about the destruction of [[Kalos]], and the role he, along with Ash and {{ashfr}}, will play to stop the destruction.

[[Diantha]] rescues a civilian from the vines with the help of her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}, before she meets up with [[Officer Jenny]], who informs the {{pkmn|Champion}} that she has assigned her officers with the evacuation of the city, and that the roots are spreading throughout the city; Diantha asks her to lead her to the tower. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} tries to fend off the roots with the equipment they are holding, commenting that this is no ordinary disaster. [[Malva]] looks at the destruction, and remarks this is [[Lysandre]]'s doing. Meanwhile, Ash and Alain have caught up with [[Mairin]]. Ash informs her that the three need to be going to the Prism Tower. Out of blue, a root spurts up from the ground, but a {{m|Dragon Claw}} from [[Alain's Charizard]] destroys it; more vines keep popping up, however, and Ash and Alain try to fend them off with the help of {{AP|Pikachu}} and Charizard. Meanwhile, Malva decides to abandon the broadcasting, and informs her assistants that she is going to do something important, telling them to do whatever they want. [[Jessie]] gets angry at this sudden abandonment, but then an idea comes across her mind. She informs [[James]] and {{MTR}} to get the camera ready, so that she can start broadcasting the entire event all by herself.

Ash and Alain are still busy destroying the roots, when they encounter [[Celosia]], and Ash remembers her as the one hunting for Squishy. She informs Ash that she is not after Squishy this time around, but after him instead. Alain is shocked and confused on Celosia's verdict but she informs him that she is just following Lysandre's orders. Ash asks Alain if he knows the Team Flare scientist but a shocked Alain does not reply. Celosia chimes in, informing a puzzled Ash that she and Alain are colleagues. Ash is shocked to hear that Alain works with the ones chasing Squishy, and inquires Alain about the truth of Celosia's statement, but Alain does not reply to him at all. Celosia tells Alain that Lysandre wants to see him, and that an associate of hers is pursuing Squishy. Ash states Alain to ignore Celosia's commands, and tries to leave with him; however, Alain just shrugs his hand off, and Ash is taken aback. The two boys are surrounded by {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and their {{p|Houndour}}, Celosia commands her {{p|Drapion}} to use {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Ash and Pikachu, causing Ash to faint. Pikachu decides to fight off the Grunts, and tries to intimidate the Grunts by sparking electricity. Unfortunately, this is in vain, and he ends up passing out as well.

Meanwhile, Jessie is still reporting the incident in Lumiose City, but the broadcast is interrupted by Team Flare's transmission, which is subsequently being played on all forms of media throughout the region. The transmission has Lysandre, the leader of Team Flare, declare his decision to remake the world into a place of pure beauty and peace. He adds that Zygarde, the Order Pokémon, is angry with people and Pokémon, for creating a world in which there is not enough for everyone, and thus he wishes to create a world in which only the chosen ones shall live in the bright and hopeful future. The broadcast causes confusion among the people; [[Mairin]] is surprised, and wonders why Lysandre would do such a thing. She is approached by a Team Flare Grunt, who informs her that he has orders to take her to Lysandre. Realizing that [[Team Flare]] is an evil organization, she tries to resist and refuses to leave, and is rescued by {{an|Professor Sycamore}}. The Grunt tries to force his way, by commanding a {{m|Poison Sting}} from his {{p|Skorupi}}, but the Professor has his {{p|Garchomp}} counteract by using {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and Mairin and Sycamore escape in the smoke produced by the collision of the moves. Meanwhile, Alain is flying in a jet with Team Flare Grunts and an unconscious Ash and Pikachu, towards the Prism Tower. Mairin thanks the Professor for rescuing her and leaves for the Prism Tower with him, for learning more about the calamity.

Having arrived at the Prism Tower, a furious Alain confronts [[Xerosic]] and asks him about Zygarde and about Ash's involvment; [[Xerosic]] simply states that Lysandre will explain everything. The Team Flare scientist takes Alain to his boss, who calmly asks him what he thinks about the plan and thanks him for completing the Mega Evolution system; he remarks that peace, that he desires, will soon surround Kalos. Concurrently, Squishy has finally made it to the Prism Tower and stares at the red Zygarde at the top. Lysandre notices the destruction caused by Zygarde, and is pleased that the ugliness from the world is slowly disappearing, commenting that the red Zygarde represents all their anger. Alain is shocked at Lysandre's statement, and reasons that destroying the city does not necessarily bring world peace, and that this protection is nothing he was looking for. Lysandre remarks that he shall just protect the chosen ones instead.

Squishy finally climbs atop the Prism Tower, and tries to communicate with [[Z2]], but in vain, as Lysandre senses [[Squishy|Z1]] among them. Meanwhile, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie are trying to fight off a vine with the help of {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} and {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}, but more vines just keep popping up. Two vines sprout up behind the group, but they are destroyed by [[Clembot]] and {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}. The group thanks them for their help, and they decide to head towards Prism Tower, when they are attacked by another vine. The vine is subsequently destroyed by [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]'s {{p|Blaziken}}. Clemont informs him that the Prism Tower is the speculated source of all the chaos, and the latter decides to go there to help. Serena, Clemont and Bonnie wish to go too, but Blaziken Mask deems it to be too dangerous, and asks them to seek shelter instead. The trio is still intent on fulfilling their wish, and Blaziken Mask gives in, while cautioning them to follow behind him at all times.

Squishy tries to reason with Z2, but the latter attacks it with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Squishy tries to counter with its own {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but it is easily overpowered by Z2, being in the 50% forme, and is knocked off the Prism Tower. Having lost all its Cells, Squishy falls on the ground, as Bonnie senses Squishy's pain and remarks that they must hurry. Meanwhile, Alain questions Lysandre if he wished to protect the world as it is, when he talked about strength to protect, but Lysandre comments that there is no point in trying to protect a tomorrow that is worse than today. Lysandre is informed that all the preparations are complete, as Ash and his Pokémon, bound by restraining devices, are lifted in the air, shocking Alain.

The group reaches Prism Tower, and Blaziken Mask has his Blaziken secure an entrance by using {{m|Flamethrower}}, but it is stopped by a {{m|Dark Pulse}} from [[Aliana]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}; [[Aliana]], together with [[Bryony]], is determined to stop them from entering the Prism Tower. Meanwhile, Ash regains consciousness and tries to break free from the restraining device. He is greeted by Lysandre, who comments that he cannot let Ash escape. Ash notices the red Zygarde, and confronts Alain about all of the chaos, but Lysandre explains to Ash that he may be one of the chosen ones. At the foot of the tower, Bonnie senses Squishy nearby, as the Order Pokémon floats in the air and transforms in its 50% Forme. Bonnie and her friends are surprised to learn that Squishy is also a Zygarde, while Aliana and Bryony seem pleased that the other Zygarde appeared as well, just as Lysandre expected. The red Zygarde jumps from the top of the tower to confront Squishy, which declares that it will use force if the former refuses to listen to it. It then lets out a loud roar, preparing for a battle.

==Blurb==

As Lysandre’s attempt to take over Lumiose City continues, our heroes are doing what they can to defeat him. Ash and his Pokémon have been captured, but when Alain realizes that his work with Lysandre has led to this disaster, he helps them all get free. Ash and Alain join forces to challenge Lysandre to a battle!

Squishy, now revealed as the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde, is still trying to get through to Team Flare’s Zygarde—but Team Flare’s terrible machine soon brings Squishy under their control as well, as Bonnie watches in despair! The fate of the world hangs in the balance—who will be victorious?

==Plot==
[[Squishy]] and [[Z2]] are facing each other down, ready to commence their battle, as {{Ash}} is surprised to learn that [[Squishy]] is {{p|Zygarde}}. [[Lysandre]] explains that {{p|Zygarde}} watches over the world, punishing those who dare to disrupt its order. He adds that the rage of Zygarde, as well as [[Team Flare]], will cause the world to end, and a new age to begin. [[Alain]] is shocked to hear such words from the [[Team Flare]] Boss, who comments that [[Squishy]] shall also accept their way of thinking, and turn red with rage. A captured {{Ash}} rebukes Lysandre for thinking so, and demands an explanation from [[Alain]]. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is seen reporting the calamity on a news helicopter, and comments on the presence of the two Zygarde in the center of [[Lumiose City]].

Squishy lets out a loud cry, and slams [[Z2]] into a building, worrying {{an|Bonnie}}. [[Bryony]] asks her and her friends to not get distracted, as [[Aliana]] commands her {{p|Druddigon}} to use {{m|Dark Pulse}}. However, the attack is stopped by [[Professor Sycamore's Garchomp|Professor Sycamore's Mega Garchomp]]. {{an|Professor Sycamore}} is glad to have made it in time, as [[Mairin]] notifies him about the two battling [[Zygarde]]. A worried Bonnie asks Z2 to listen to Squishy, while the Team Flare scientists claim that beating [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon might be challenging. [[Bryony]] commands her {{p|Liepard}} to use {{m|Shadow Claw}}, but it is countered by Mega {{p|Blaziken}}'s {{m|Blaze Kick}}. {{an|Clemont}} calls out {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} for help as well, and commands his {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}} to use {{m|Wild Charge}}, which misses. {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} then uses {{m|Pin Missile}} while [[Clembot]] commands {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}} to use {{m|Dragon Tail}}, but {{p|Liepard}} and {{p|Druddigon}} avoid the attacks. Liepard uses {{m|Dark Pulse}}, but it is countered by a {{m|Mud Shot}} from {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]] has his Mega {{p|Blaziken}} use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Druddigon avoids the attack, and damage with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Meanwhile, [[Mairin]] asks {{an|Serena}} if she has seen [[Alain]] and {{Ash}}, but she is replied in the negative. {{an|Serena}} tries to comfort Mairin, but after realizing that she is worried for her [[Chespie]], decides to rescue the Spiny Nut Pokémon from [[Lysandre Labs]], together with Mairin and Sycamore. The three narrowly avoid a Dark Pulse, with Bryony claiming that they refuse to be ignored. She has her Liepard use {{m|Shadow Claw}}, but the Cruel Pokémon is hit by a {{m|Mud Shot}}. {{an|Clemont}} signals the three to go, and warns the Team Flare scientists that they are up against the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} decides to infiltrate the [[Lysandre Labs]] to bring the organization down.

At the top of the Prism Tower, Lysandre thanks Alain for his efforts, as he reveals that Mega Evolution energy has given them the power to control Zygarde, shocking both him and Ash. He claims that the Mega Evolution energy is quite useful in destroying the imperfect world, and that the next sunrise shall mark the beginning of the new and beautiful world, a world full of peace. Hearing this, Alain is shattered and falls on his knees, and he repeatedly slams his fist on the floor in anger and disappointment. Ash realizes that Alain collected all the energy for Chespie's sake, which is further backed by Lysandre, who remarks that Alain's wish had pure intent.

Continuing towards Lysandre Labs, Serena, Mairin and Professor Sycamore meet up with Team Rocket, who in their disguise, introduce themselves as members of Lumiose TV. They offer to take the three to Lysandre Labs in their news helicopter, and the three gladly take on the offer. Meanwhile, Bonnie notices Z2 attack Squishy with vines, but Squishy easily evades them and attacks Z2 with {{m|Extreme Speed}}. Squishy, however, is overwhelmed and knocked back. {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} suggests Bonnie go towards Squishy and she runs off towards it. Concurrently, [[Diantha]] and her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} are rescuing the citizens from the vines, when they are approached by [[Sawyer]], {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}} and {{an|Trevor}}, who are eager to help in the catastrophe. Diantha accepts their offer, and asks them to rescue and bring children and the elderly to the site, which they happily accept.

In the news helicopter, Team Rocket is very glad, and excited at the success they would have in [[Kalos]] if they manage to take control of [[Team Flare]]'s base. Meanwhile, Z2 knocks Squishy towards a building, which then proceeds to attack the former with {{m|Extreme Speed}}, but is overwhelmed, and bound by Z2's vines. [[Xerosic]] laughs at the sight, and exclaims that it wouldn't be long under Squishy falls under their influence as well. At the [[Prism Tower]], Lysandre informs Ash about his interest in the [[Bond Phenomenon]] that he and his {{AP|Greninja}} can use to achieve new powers, and attempts to control the two with one of [[Team Flare]]'s devices, wishing to take the power for himself. Ash and Greninja enter a trance when the device hits them, with {{AP|Pikachu}} and the others watching in horror for their friends, while Alain asks Lysandre to stop. However, Pikachu's voice gets through to Ash, which helps him and Greninja snap out of their trance and return to their senses. Lysandre tries to reason with Ash, informing him that he shall serve as a guide to humanity in the new world. Ash, however, refuses to succumb, and asks Alain to put a stop to what's currently happening; he states that he does not care what Alain has done, and that he believes in the Alain he knows. He adds that he really cares about the world, and the people and Pokémon who call it home, and refuses to let the world be destroyed. These feelings of his seem to synchronize with those of {{AP|Greninja}}, and the two undergo [[Bond Phenomenon]] to successfully break through their restraining cuffs. Ash is exhausted due to breaking through his restraining cuffs, but Alain comes to aid him. Lysandre is dazzled by the spectacular exhibition of Bond Phenomenon, as he claims that even Mega Evolution could not overpower Ash and Greninja's bond. Alain thanks Ash for clearing him of his confusion, and calls out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} to put an end to the chaos and destruction caused by Lysandre. {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} uses {{m|Dragon Claw}} to destroy the restraints of Ash's other Pokémon. Lysandre is disappointed by Alain's betrayal; he claims that they would never be able to beat him and that none of them shall be needed in the new world. Having put on his equipment, he seems ready to put a stop to the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and challenges them to a battle.

Down at the base of the Prism Tower, Aliana and Bryony command Druddigon and Liepard to use {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}} respectively, but {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}} uses {{m|Flash}} to blind them. A barrage of attacks from Luxray, Bunnelby and Chespin causes the two scientists to recall their exhausted Pokémon, and [[Clembot]] successfully captures the two Team Flare members, who blame each other for their loss. Bonnie finally reaches the site of the two battling Zygarde, and notices [[Xerosic]] attacking the bound Squishy with a beam. Out of blue, Bonnie is attacked by vines, and is saved in the nick of time by Mega Blaziken; she informs Blaziken Mask that she suspects that Squishy is going to lose. Bonnie holds her ears in pain as she hears Squishy's cries, which has finally succumbed to Team Flare's control. Lysandre is informed about the success, who is pleased that his beautiful world shall be created at a much faster pace. Ash is disappointed by the current way of events, and chides Lysandre for believing that his actions are creating peace. Lysandre, however, claims that Ash is just oblivious of the ugly parts of the world. He then explains that he once had a generous nature and would help those in need, but after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intends to "restart" the world before the arrogant and foolish people cause about their own destruction with their entitlement. He claims that Ash, Alain, and their Pokémon have no space in his utopia, as he sends out his {{TP|Lysandre|Pyroar}} and [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Gyarados}}. Lysandre then uses his ring, containing a Mega Stone, to Mega Evolve Gyarados. Alain responds by immediately Mega Evolving Charizard, and both sides are ready to battle. Meanwhile, at the Lysandre Labs, [[Mable]] and [[Celosia]] notice the news helicopter approaching on their screen, and decide to confront the intruders. Inside the Prism Tower, Clemont tries to breach through a door, but he cannot find the correct lock code, when Clembot tries to help and proceeds to analyse all of the possible codes.

Lysandre begins the battle by commanding {{TP|Lysandre|Pyroar}} and {{p|Gyarados}} to use {{m|Incinerate}}, but Ash counters by having {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Goodra}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} respectively. Greninja follows up with {{m|Cut}}, but Pyroar uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} to attack, which is countered by {{AP|Noivern}}'s {{m|Boomburst}}. Alain's Charizard uses Dragon Claw, but Gyarados uses {{m|Stone Edge}} to hit the Flame Pokémon. {{AP|Noivern}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}} use {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{m|Karate Chop}} next; Pyroar counters with {{m|Fire Fang}}, but he is successfully hit by {{m|Karate Chop}} and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Meanwhile, Squishy is wrecking havoc in [[Lumiose City]] with vines, and is followed by Bonnie. Lysandre recalls his Pyroar, while Ash claims that Squishy will be rescued, and that his selfishness will not destroy the world.

===Other===
* [[Clembot]]

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: Interrupted by [[Xerosic]] who talks on the subject of [[Mega Evolution]] energy.
* {{an|Bonnie}}, {{an|Clemont}}, [[Clembot]], {{Ash}}, and Xerosic narrate the preview for the [[XY134|next episode]].
* {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}}, [[Clemont's Luxray]], and [[Clemont's Heliolisk]] remain outside of their {{i|Poké Ball}}s for the entire episode.
* All three options in the [[Pokémon Quiz]] (besides {{TRT}}) are Pokémon that Ash owned at the time of this episode's airing: {{p|Greninja}}, {{p|Infernape}}, and {{p|Charizard}}.
* A remix of {{OBP|XY&Z|song}} is used as an insert song when Ash and {{AP|Greninja}} free themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]].
* The English dub title for this episode is a reference to the phrase "''Coming apart at the seams''".

===Errors===
* After {{me|Blaziken}} dodges {{p|Druddigon}}'s {{m|Dragon Claw}}, Clemont's glasses are missing the yellow part in the middle.
* After [[Lysandre]] announces his intention to control Ash and Greninja, cables can be seen coming from the two bug devices firing the beams, despite them initially being wireless.
* When the devices were being sent up to Ash and Greninja, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s cuffs for his legs are missing. This was fixed in the dub.
* When Ash resists being controlled by Lysandre, Greninja is shown somewhat as Ash-Greninja, despite the fact that the transformation hadn't begun yet. This was fixed in the dub.
** In the same scene, Pikachu is missing his tail.
* Before Ash and Greninja transform into Ash-Greninja, {{AP|Talonflame}} is missing the yellow cere on its beak.
* When {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} frees Ash's Pokémon, the outside of {{AP|Noivern}}'s eyes are green instead of yellow.
* When Lysandre moves to the top of Prism Tower to face Ash and [[Alain]] after equipping the Lysandre Machine, Alain's left glove and [[Mega Ring]] briefly disappear.
* When Mega Blaziken saves Bonnie, there is no fire emerging from its wrists.
* Shortly after Xerosic announces Team Flare have control of [[Squishy]], the bottom of Ash's T-shirt is white instead of black.
* Lysandre's {{Shiny}} {{p|Gyarados}} doesn't sparkle when it is released from its Poké Ball.
* When Greninja uses {{m|Cut}}, its light blue stripes are the same as its giant Water Shuriken.
* Greninja is seen charging up Cut despite being shown using it in the previous shot.
** Additionally, its fingers on its left hand are colored creme instead of blue in one frame.
* When Ash commands Noivern to use {{m|Dragon Claw}}, the borders on his gloves are black instead of red.
* As Ash commands Noivern to use Dragon Claw, Noivern's face is white.
** At the same moment, the bottom of Pikachu's legs are cut off.
*** A few frames later, part of Noivern's bottom jaw is white.
* When Noivern uses Dragon Claw on {{TP|Lysandre|Pyroar}}, Noivern's tail is missing.
* When Lysandre recalls his Pyroar, he is seen without his equipment.
* When Bonnie is chasing after Squishy, there are frames where {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} is missing the antenna on its left cheek.
* Ash-Greninja is missing the webs on its left hand when Ash talks to Lysandre.

===Dub edits===
* Several scenes are completely reanimated so that Ash, Pikachu, Greninja, Hawlucha, and {{AP|Goodra}} are no longer in a crucifixion-like pose when restrained by Lysandre's devices, a change that was presumably done to placate western censors due to the religious implications. However, these edits were not present in the previous episode, leading to some inconsistencies.
* When Lysandre attempts to put Ash and Greninja under his control the two no longer scream in pain, instead looking in a trance-like state as they are being put under Lysandre's control.
** In several non-English dubs, the screaming is retained, but the dub animation is used.
** This reanimation also removes the earlier error of Ash-Greninja being present during the scene where the devices were being sent up to them.
* XY&Z is replaced with an instrumental version of [[Stand Tall]].

==Blurb==

Lysandre’s threat to the world continues, but our heroes have split up and are fighting back on several fronts! Ash and Alain face Lysandre in battle, and Malva joins them in solidarity. Meanwhile, Bonnie confronts the menacing Zygarde, bravely singing her Squishy song through tears—and Team Flare’s influence fades as Zygarde reconnects with its friend.

Clemont enters Prism Tower to defeat Xerosic, and Clembot plugs itself into the control system in an attempt to shut it down. Doing so will wipe its memory, but Clembot insists that they have no choice—and Clemont sadly agrees. He completes the task, and Team Flare’s machine is shut down...for now!

==Plot==
With {{TP|Lysandre|Pyroar}} taken down, {{Ash}} commands his {{AP|Noivern}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Boomburst}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} on [[Lysandre]]'s {{me|Gyarados}}, but the Atrocious Pokémon counters with {{m|Hyper Beam}}; it uses {{m|Dragon Tail}} to attack {{AP|Pikachu}} but {{AP|Noivern}} pushes him aside and takes the hit, knocking him out. [[Alain's Charizard|Alain's Mega Charizard X]] attacks the Atrocious Pokémon with {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}} follows up {{m|High Jump Kick}}, but Mega {{p|Gyarados}} clutches the Wrestler Pokémon's wing with its mouth, and throws him away, successfully knocking him out. [[Lysandre]] explains that Mega Evolution is a battle instinct, and that {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have forgotten its essence since interacting with humans; for a Pokémon to gain Mega Evolution power, it is a must for it to unleash its battle instinct. [[Alain]], of course, disagrees with him, but Lysandre simply claims that only the victor can prove that he is not wrong, and commands Mega Gyarados to use Hyper Beam. Meanwhile, {{an|Bonnie}} is still trailing [[Squishy]], and is stopped by [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]. She asks him to let her go so that she may save Squishy. Blaziken Mask is still indecisive, but Bonnie frees her hand and starts following the Order Pokémon.

Inside the [[Lumiose Gym]], [[Clembot]] has successfully found the right code to open the door, and the noise from the opening of the door alerts two {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s working on the {{p|Zygarde}} control device. Clembot suggests infiltrating Team Flare's system to stop it from working, and free the [[Z2|red Zygarde]]. [[Clemont's Luxray]] uses {{m|Electric Terrain}} to knock the two grunts out. Attracted by the sounds, [[Xerosic]] shows up in front of {{an|Clemont}}, who asks if he is the one controlling Zygarde with the device. and Xerosic agrees, declaring the Zygarde control device to be his greatest invention. Clemont does agree, and explains that devices that control Pokémon and cause destruction are not worthy of being called inventions. Xerosic is not pleased, and calls out his {{p|Malamar}} and {{p|Crobat}} to challenge Clemont's belief. He commands his Pokémon to use {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Air Slash}} respectively, but they are countered by {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}'s {{m|Mud Shot}} and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}}, as Clembot silently reaches the device, and starts its infiltration.

{{TRT}}'s helicopter is nearing [[Lysandre Labs]]; awaiting their arrival, [[Mable]] commands her {{p|Weavile}} to attack it with {{m|Ice Shard}}. Serena and {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} decide to fight back, with {{m|Flamethrower}} to counter another Ice Shard. However, an {{m|Icy Wind}} directly connects with the helicopter, and causes it to malfunction. However, the Sharp Claw Pokémon is stopped from continuing its attack as it is hit by a {{m|Flash Cannon}} from [[Steven Stone's Metagross|Steven Stone's Mega Metagross]]. [[Steven Stone]] climbs off his Metagross to confront Mable and commands his Pokémon to use {{m|Meteor Mash}}, which is narrowly avoided by Mable and her {{p|Weavile}}. Steven expresses his feelings on being fooled by Lysandre, but [[Mable]] disagrees and states that this is just an undertaking to create a beautiful world. Team Flare Grunts appear on the site, as she proposes Steven to side with [[Team Flare]], but Steven does not relent. Having gotten off the helicopter, [[Mairin]] and {{an|Professor Sycamore}} greet the [[Hoenn]] [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]], and the latter informs him about [[Chespie]] and the [[Giant Rock]] inside the Lysandre Labs. [[James]] is surprised by the sudden appearance of the {{pkmn|Champion}}, but the infatuated [[Jessie]] is bothered only about filming him, causing her to be chided by {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. Steven asks Mairin, Sycamore and Serena to continue their quest, as he proceeds to battle the Team Flare members.

Inside Lysandre Labs Mairin, Serena and Sycamore scramble towards the room where Chespie is being kept, with {{TRT}} filming the entire event, when they are suddenly attacked by a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Drapion}}. Team Rocket is angered due to the surprise attack, and remove their disguises to reveal their identity to the Team Flare scientist. Serena is surprised, and the trio tells them to rush and rescue Chespie. James remarks that they have no intention to hand over the world to them, and calls out his {{TP|James|Inkay}} to attack with {{m|Psybeam}}, just as [[Jessie]] calls out her {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} to use {{m|Seed Bomb}}, but their moves are canceled by {{p|Drapion}}'s Sludge Bomb. Meanwhile, Alain's Mega Charizard X attacks Mega Gyarados with {{m|Thunder Punch}}, and Ash has his {{AP|Goodra}} attack it with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}; Mega Gyarados counteracts with Hyper Beam, and knocks the Dragon Pokémon out. Lysandre chides Ash for losing three of his Pokémon so soon, but Ash claims that he will not quit; he remarks that in addition to their fighting spirit, a Pokémon's strength is highly determined by the bond between it and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. To prove his point, he has his {{AP|Talonflame}} and {{AP|Greninja}} use {{m|Flame Charge}} and {{m|Cut}}, which Mega Gyarados easily counters with {{m|Stone Edge}}, sending the two flying who are rescued by Charizard. Mega Gyarados follows up with Dragon Tail, smashing the three on the floor and knocking {{AP|Talonflame}} out. Lysandre is pleased, and commands his Mega Gyarados to use Hyper Beam on the group, which is countered by a Flamethrower from [[Malva]]'s Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. The [[Elite Four]] member claims that the time has come to put an end to the destruction caused by him. Lysandre is surprised by her sudden switching sides, but she explains that she is just putting her complete trust in the kids. She admits that while she is not satisfied with the world as it is now, watching Alain and Ash inspires her and convinces her that as long as they, the adults, are able to teach the younger generation to lend a helping hand, the future is worth fighting for. Lysandre is disappointed and rebuffs her. He commands Mega Gyarados to use {{m|Incinerate}}, which is canceled by {{m|Water Shuriken}}. Ash repeats his stance, claiming that he is fighting for the tomorrows of people and Pokémon who call the world their home. Malva supports Ash for this belief of his, but Lysandre simply dismisses this as naivety.

Mairin and Sycamore have finally reached Chespie's room, and Sycamore decides to take the sick Pokémon to his laboratory. Outside, Serena and her Pokémon are outnumbered by Team Flare Grunts and their Houndoom. While they think of a way to escape, Steven and his Metagross show up, and aid them by causing the grunts to levitate with {{m|Psychic}}. Meanwhile, Blaziken Mask, Mega {{p|Blaziken}} and Bonnie rush past Squishy and stand in its way, so that Bonnie can confront it. Bonnie tries to calm it down and claims that everything is fine. Squishy, however, is unaffected by her pleadings and attacks her with a vine, which is taken by Blaziken Mask instead. Seeing that Squishy does not even recognize her anymore, Bonnie gets overwhelmed with sadness and starts singing [[Puni-chan's Song]] in a feeble and sad voice as her tears start to fall. Squishy approaches Bonnie as {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} tries to comfort her, but slows down when it hears the song, but is still ready to attack and lifts some vines in air. However, as it does so, its eye begins to light up as if fighting an internal battle with itself. Sensing danger, Mega Blaziken and Dedenne stand in front of Bonnie to protect her, as Bonnie sings louder upon realizing the song is getting through to Squishy. As she continues singing, Squishy begins charging a Dragon Pulse, but as it does so the light begins to light up faster. Blaziken Mask recovers and attempts to shelter Bonnie as she continues her singing. Squishy fires the Dragon Pulse as Bonnie completes her song, but the move is redirected at the last second to avoid Bonnie and hits a building, causing debris to fall over the group. Fortunately, the group is protected from harm by Squishy which has now broken free of Team Flare's control and has returned to its senses, restoring it to its natural green color. An overjoyed Bonnie strokes Squishy affectionately, as it splits up from its Cells. Atop the [[Prism Tower]], Lysandre contacts Xerosic to know the reason for the splitting, but the latter simply shuns him, claiming that he is too busy battling an intruder, the [[Gym Leader]], Clemont. An exhausted Squishy falls into Bonnie's arms, and Bonnie is glad at Squishy's safety.

Inside the Lumiose Gym, Clemont successfully defeats Xerosic, and Clembot has completely taken control of Team Flare's system. Xerosic attempts to regain control over his device, but ends up being thrown out of the Gym through the trapdoor. Clemont decides to synchronize Clembot with the system, but stops upon realizing that forcing the device to shut down will cause Clembot to lose all of its main memory. Clemont is hesitant to do such a thing that would be detrimental to Clembot, but Clembot reasons that being the generous Gym Leader of Lumiose City as he is, Clemont must consider the well being of the many instead of just one. A tearful Clemont realizes his responsibility and works on Clembot's internal computer to trigger the program that will shut down the device; however, he hesitates to initiate the shutdown process. Clembot encourages him to do the right thing, claiming that he is the one who can save the world. Clembot thanks him for creating it, as an overwhelmed Clemont gathers all his might through his conflicting emotions, and initiates the shutdown process to cause the device, and along with it, Clembot, to start short-circuiting and breaking down. As a consequence of his actions, Z2 snaps out of [[Team Flare]]'s control, and starts to split up. Depressed over his actions, Clemont cries on the heavily damaged body of Clembot as Chespin tries to comfort him. Malva notes that Z2 has broken free from the control as well, causing Ash to exclaim that Team Flare is done for good. Lysandre, however, is amused by Ash's words, and Mega Gyarados lets out a loud cry.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Clemont V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Clemont for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: Broadcast interrupted by [[Xerosic]] talking about the [[Giant Rock]].
** During the segment, Xerosic wears head bandages, as he got injured when he got thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]].
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes]] and [[Amazon Video]] on November 27, 2016, six days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''The Right Hero for the Right Job!'' through ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'').
* There are 637 episodes between {{Steven}}'s first appearance in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'' and this one (excluding his appearances in the [[Mega Evolution Specials]]), which is the longest time between a particular human character's first and second physical appearances within the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* This is the first episode of the anime in which more than one [[Shiny Pokémon]] appears.
** This is also the first time a Pokémon stays [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] for the entire episode, and the first time {{AP|Greninja}} stays as Ash-Greninja for the entire episode.
* The English dub title is a reference to the phrase "''The right person for the job''".

===Errors===
* When {{AP|Hawlucha}} runs to check on {{AP|Noivern}} after it is knocked out, Noivern's claws are colored black instead of red.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Nearing Olivine City, our heroes notice a field full of windmills. Brock explains the windmills are used to generate electricity. Deciding the breezy windmill field is a nice place to take a break and get some fresh air, our heroes release their Pokémon from their Poké Balls and begin to set up a picnic. When Ash and Chikorita go looking for firewood, they stumble upon a concrete building with the front door wide open. Curious, the duo enter and are promptly locked in when a strong gust of wind shuts the heavy electric door. Hearing Ash's cries for help, Pikachu races towards the building, followed by Brock and Misty. While Brock contacts the electric company for help, Ash decides to descend the floors of the compound and locates the building's power source. He and Chikorita must battle their way through the scores of security systems in place... Electric-type Pokémon!

==Plot==
As {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} stop in a large field near a wind power generator to take a break. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are starving and soon spot an odd white building in the distance. They are curious, and soon [[James]] knocks on the door. After a few tries, he tries to open it up, but the door is electronically locked, which {{MTR}} infers after seeing a card reader. He tries to pick at it with his claw, but ends up breaking his claw in the reader. Meowth is infuriated and scratches at the door, which results in him and his teammates being electrocuted. Just then, the door opens slowly, allowing the trio to enter and explore. {{an|Jigglypuff}} also wanders into the facility.

Brock decides a picnic lunch is in order. Ash volunteers to fetch the firewood with {{AP|Pikachu}}, but the {{type|Electric}} is fast asleep. Instead, Ash decides to take {{AP|Chikorita}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket finds themselves walking through various empty hallways when they come across a {{p|Magnemite}}. Four more Magnemite appear, and together they attack with their electricity, sending Team Rocket fleeing. As Ash and Chikorita are walking across the field, they find the building, with the door still open. When the two enter, the door suddenly slams shut, trapping them inside. Ash begins calling for help and his friends come running. Brock notices that the building's electric lock is damaged and tells Ash that he'll call the [[Electric company]] for assistance. Ash tries to get the door open without any luck; however, Chikorita spots a map of the complex and has Ash looks at it. They go downstairs to check out the place. Upon looking through various empty halls, Ash and Chikorita are attacked by a swarm of Magnemite and a {{p|Magneton}}. Team Rocket watches the squabble, but Jigglypuff soon arrives. Fearing that it is going to sing, James takes away her microphone, but Jigglypuff and tosses it to Jessie, who then throws it towards the Magnemite to give them some time. The microphone rolls to Ash’s feet, and Jigglypuff rushes at him to retrieve its precious item. Ash realizes there is a destroyed shutter behind him, so he runs through it and down a fleet of stairs. Moments later, Jigglypuff manages to get her microphone and {{m|Sing}}s, putting all of the Magnet Pokemon to {{status|sleep}}.

Brock returns to Misty's side and informs her that the Electric company will attend to the door eventually. On the next floor, Ash wanders around four large generators, where he is attacked by a swarm of {{p|Electrode}}. Ash tells Chikorita to use {{m|Vine Whip}}, making one {{m|Explosion|explode}}, thus creating a path for Ash to escape. The Electrode pursue them, but Ash and Chikorita narrowly escape the Explosions and reach another area. Jigglypuff then appears, but Chikorita quickly tosses its microphone away, allowing Ash to escape down another staircase. Jigglypuff encounters Team Rocket again. As with before, Team Rocket grabs Jigglypuff's microphone and throws it away, giving everyone time to escape. Jigglypuff successfully retrieves her microphone again and lulls the Electrode to sleep. Desperate to find a hiding spot, Team Rocket takes cover inside a room, but they are confronted by an {{p|Electabuzz}}. Meowth quickly tells Electabuzz that Ash is the one causing the trouble and that they are just workers. Electabuzz believes him and marches off to find Ash. Meanwhile, Misty and Brock, searching for Ash and Chikorita, make their way into the building after an electronics expert pries the door open.

Ash runs into Electabuzz, who attacks him and Chikorita. However, their battle is interrupted by Team Rocket, who traps the Pokémon in a cage. Chikorita tries to break open the cage with {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but the bars are too strong. The trio runs off with the captured Pokémon and exits the power station facility. Ash slides down a hillside and stops the evil trio in their tracks. Upon being cornered, Jessie and James have {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} attack Ash. Helpless at Ash's predicament, Chikorita [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Bayleef}}, much to the delight of Team Rocket. Bayleef frees herself and Electabuzz with Razor Leaf. Misty, Brock, and the electrician catch up to them in time to see Bayleef throwing Arbok and Victreebel into Team Rocket with a Vine Whip. The female electrician, who happens to be Electabuzz's {{pkmn|Trainer}}, orders it to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} alongside Ash's Pikachu. Bayleef gives Team Rocket a final Vine Whip and sends them blasting off.

In the aftermath, the representative of the Electric company thanks Ash and his friends for stopping Team Rocket. Ash also apologizes for trespassing and congratulates Bayleef on her efforts. Just then, Jigglypuff pops up and starts Singing, putting everyone to sleep. Infuriated by this, Jigglypuff scribbles on the group's faces and stomps away.

==Trivia==
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 18: Chikorita'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* This episode is featured on ''Pokémon All-Stars: Chikorita'' from {{wp|Magna Pacific}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 4}} series.
* When Chikorita gets hit by Electabuzz's {{m|Thunder Punch}}, Ash catches her and says, "I think I'm a pretty good shortstop". This may be a reference to {{an|Casey}}, who once had a Chikorita (that had since evolved into Bayleef), and whose favorite [[baseball]] team was the Electabuzz.
* After everybody falls asleep due to Jigglypuff's song, Brock is seen with drawn-on eyes and eyelashes.
* This marks the only time during the [[Johto]] series when a Pokémon of Ash's evolves.
* Music from ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard in this episode.

===Errors===
* Right before the opening theme song (before the title card in the Japanese version) when Ash is holding Chikorita, Pikachu's voice is heard but his mouth doesn't move.
* When Ash is trying to escape the locked building there is a window right next to the door, but when viewed from the outside the window is much farther away.
* The lines on {{MTR}}'s charm disappear for a moment right after Ash saves {{AP|Chikorita}} from {{p|Magneton}}'s attack.
* The symbol on Ash's hat disappears twice.
* When Ash thanks Brock for going to get him help, the door leading into the abandoned building is orange when it should be purple.
* When Ash finds Jigglypuff's marker, after Jessie throws it away, he incorrectly refers to it as a microphone.
* Right after Team Rocket discerns where Ash and Chikorita have gone, Wobbuffet pops out of his Poké Ball. When shoving Wobbuffet back down, Jessie says "Meowth said down..." when it was James who had said it.

===Dub edits===
* During the part where Ash was being attacked by Victreebel and Arbok, some scenes depicting Victreebel using Vine Whip on Ash were cut.
* The original airing of this episode on Hungama TV in {{pmin|India}} started the episode directly from the title card, skipping the part of the episode that comes before it.

'''Ash's Bayleef''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベイリーフ''' ''Satoshi's Bayleaf'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Johto]] [[region]], and his sixteenth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Ash Chikorita.png|200px|thumb|left|As a Chikorita]]
Bayleef debuted in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'' as a Chikorita. Chikorita was especially stubborn, going so far as to fight [[Ash's Charizard]] despite obvious overwhelming odds, and was injured in the process. {{TRT}} kidnapped her and tried to convince the stubborn Pokémon to join them, but Ash eventually won her confidence by saving her from Team Rocket.

Chikorita was used in ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]'' to try getting the [[GS Ball]] back. However, Chikorita only wanted to be affectionate, so when {{p|Quagsire}} got near Ash, Chikorita got angry and tried to hit it with her leaf but accidentally hit Ash instead. {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} noticed her affection toward Ash, leading Brock to speculate that she had developed a crush on Ash.

Chikorita made her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} debut in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', where she took on [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}}. Ash showed that he believes in Chikorita by defending his choice to a disapproving Falkner, but Chikorita was outclassed by the {{type|Flying}}, who dodged her Vine Whip and {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then knocked her out with a {{m|Peck}} and a Tackle.

Chikorita's jealousy of {{AP|Pikachu}} and resentment towards Ash arose in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]''. Ash tried to withdraw Chikorita for Pikachu in a battle with a Trainer's {{p|Raticate}}, but Chikorita would not allow this and the battle was suspended by the time Ash returned her. She later ran away during the night and stumbled into the territory of a group of urban Pokémon. Lashing out at the {{p|Primeape|leader}}, she knocked it out and became the new leader. Team Rocket tried to take her and the other Pokémon with their robot made out of tires, but Ash risked himself to save her, and Chikorita returned the favor by catching him when he fell. The two then took down the robot and Chikorita forgave Ash and became friends with Pikachu.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Chikorita as his second Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] Battle despite the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type disadvantage]], something which [[Bugsy]] mocked. She went up against {{p|Spinarak}}. After dodging some {{m|String Shot}}s she used Vine Whip, which Spinarak was able to dodge by aiming String Shot at a tree. Chikorita launched multiple Vine Whip attacks, all of which were dodged by Spinarak who used the trees to dodge. Her Razor Leaf and Spinarak's Poison Sting collided and destroyed each other. Chikorita then used Sweet Scent to distract Spinarak and then she defeated it with Tackle. She then went up against {{p|Metapod}}, Chikorita used Vine Whip but Metapod countered with {{m|Harden}}, and Vine Whip didn't faze Metapod. The same thing happened with her Razor Leaf. She used Razor Leaf again but Metapod jumped and used Tackle, knocking Chikorita out.

In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Chikorita defeated [[Misty's Staryu]] in a battle to determine who got a wild {{AP|Totodile}}. She was almost defeated by the powerful {{m|Water Gun}}, but she dug in her heels and then managed to dodge a Tackle and hit Staryu from behind with Vine Whip. By this point, she had proven to increase her battling capability significantly, taking down [[Jessie's Arbok]] in a single Tackle in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''.
[[File:Ash Bayleef affection.png|thumb|220px|left|With Ash, upon evolution into Bayleef]]
In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to protect Ash from Team Rocket. However, in the following episode, ''[[EP200|Turning Over A New Bayleef]]'', the amorous Pokémon was shown not to have realized she had grown so much and continued to act as though she was still small enough to leap into Ash's arms. This problem was addressed when she ran away after Ash scolded her to "get away and stay away". Bayleef then came across [[Haruno]] and her Pokémon, and she and Ash made up in the process of taking down Team Rocket's giant Bayleef mecha. After the villainous trio had been defeated, Bayleef showed her affection towards Ash by using her newly learned Body Slam on him.

In Ash's Gym battle against [[Chuck]] in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Bayleef single-handedly won Ash the Badge after Pikachu's defeat to {{p|Poliwrath}}. She bested Poliwrath in a display of strength, slamming Poliwrath to the ground with a Vine Whip and then using Body Slam to knock it out. She then fought Chuck's powerful {{p|Machoke}}, taking damage from {{m|Karate Chop}} and {{m|Submission}}, but showed good strategy by restricting Machoke's arms with her vines to block his {{m|Cross Chop}}, and then used her own Submission-induced momentum to in turn slam Machoke to the ground. She then used Body Slam and a point-blank Razor Leaf to take out Machoke and win the battle.

She was briefly sent back to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]] in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'' in exchange for his {{AP|Kingler}}, who Ash needed to compete in the [[Whirl Cup]]. She did not warm up to Oak well, and Oak called Ash to inform him that Bayleef was restless. Finished with Kingler, Ash returned Bayleef to his team in the [[EP217|next episode]].

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', Bayleef participated in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]] with Ash, racing [[Gary Oak]] and his {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}. She showed an immense feat of strength by hurling Ash at Team Rocket's balloon so that Ash could pierce it with his skateboard and rescue Arcanine. She then arrived just in time to attack Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and hold it off long enough for Gary to catch up, who took down Arbok with his Arcanine. Bayleef and Ash worked together to finish the race and they managed to best Gary just at the end, winning the race for Ash.

It was the only member of his then-current team to make up Ash's team of six against [[Gary Oak]]. In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', she was sent out to give Ash a type advantage over Gary's powerful {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, managing to use Vine Whip to jump above {{m|Hydro Pump}}. However, her aerial Razor Leaf was deflected by a {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and she was knocked out when Blastoise {{m|Bite|bit}} her leaf and tossed her aside.
[[File:Ash Bayleef jump.png|thumb|220px|Bayleef leaping with Vine Whip]]
She redeemed this loss in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', in a battle with {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{TP|Harrison|Houndoom}}, again showing innovativeness by clamping Houndoom's jaw shut with Vine Whip and then using Body Slam to take it down. She put up her best efforts against {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}, but was unable to overcome another type disadvantage and was defeated by {{m|Fire Punch}}.

Ash left Bayleef at Professor Oak's lab before he departed for the [[Hoenn]] region.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', she was seen helping {{Tracey}} to feed the Pokémon at the ranch.

She was reunited with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', where she rescued him from his stampeding {{AP|Tauros}}, who had carried him off in their excitement.

===={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', after briefly being stolen by Team Rocket, Bayleef escaped from her ball and went looking for Ash. Eventually, Bayleef thundered out of the trees and tackled {{an|Barry}}. Then, she found Ash and tackled him too. When he tried to return her to her [[Poké Ball]], she took it in her mouth, wanting to spend more time with Ash. She later helped destroy the hands of one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]], and afterwards was sent back to Professor Oak's lab. Bayleef was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
Bayleef was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where she and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Chikorita.png|200px|thumb|Chikorita showing affection]]
In the early part of the series, Bayleef developed what seemed to be a crush on Ash, constantly fighting for his attention and trying to get his approval. As a Chikorita, her personality was stubborn, passionate and sometimes violent. She easily gets jealous of the attention Ash’s other Pokémon receive — especially {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, some of her more extreme personality traits seemed to have mellowed with evolution. She has proven to be a powerful and tactical battler, often using her vines to restrict her opponent's moves (clamping Houndoom’s jaw and Machoke’s arms) or even as a propeller to become airborne, a move later copied by Gary’s {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

==Trivia==
* Bayleef was the only Pokémon that Ash owned that evolved during the [[Johto]] saga.
* Bayleef was Ash's first confirmed female Pokémon.
* Bayleef is Ash's only Grass-type Pokémon to evolve only once. All his other Grass-types either evolved twice or have not evolved at all.
* In the {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}} dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, Chikorita was incorrectly referred as a "he", implying it was a male.

 Team Flare appears to be defeated for now—Clemont has destroyed their control system at great personal cost, and Alain and Ash have battled Lysandre to a standstill. But as the villain disappears, he promises that his new world will come to pass...

Meanwhile, Mairin and Serena rescue Chespie—only to watch in horror as it’s absorbed by the mysterious Giant Rock, which changes shape to resemble Zygarde! It begins to move, heading toward the Anistar Sundial in search of more energy. Everyone is determined to stop it at all costs—including the Gym Leaders and Champion Diantha, as they join our heroes to rescue Chespie and save the world!

==Plot==
Continuing the {{pkmn|battle}}, [[Lysandre]]'s {{me|Gyarados}} uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but {{AP|Pikachu}} dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}. The Atrocious Pokémon is finally knocked by a combination of [[Alain's Charizard|Mega Charizard X]]'s {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{AP|Greninja}}'s {{m|Cut}}, followed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. [[Alain]] claims that the fighting instinct Lysandre spoke of is a thing of the past, but the [[Team Flare]] Boss remarks that he is still intent on recreating the world. Then, he walks to the edge of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] and jumps off. Greninja tries to rescue him with its tongue, but misses. [[Malva]] is shocked by Lysandre's move and falls to her knees. {{Ash}} receives a call from {{an|Serena}}, who informs him about the success of their quest. Serena then asks Ash to go to the Lumiose Gym and check on {{an|Clemont}}.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is still in their battle with [[Team Flare]]. [[Celosia]] and [[Mable]] tell {{p|Drapion}} and {{p|Weavile}} to use {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} respectively, but [[Jessie]] has her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} counter by using {{m|Mirror Coat}}, and [[James]] shoots a net to capture the Team Flare scientists and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Meanwhile, Serena and her group mates have reached the [[Giant Rock]], where {{Steven}} is trying to study the nature of the research conducted on the Rock. Suddenly, it starts to glow red, and the glass containing it shatters; [[Chespie]] is pulled towards and is absorbed by the Rock. {{an|Professor Sycamore}} attempts to stop [[Mairin]] from approaching the Rock as it changes its shape. The phenomenon causes the building to start collapsing, and everyone flees. Once outside, everyone notices the transformed Rock completely destroyed the building, causing Mairin to worry about Chespie. Steven is certain that the Rock is the source of the event, and claims that anything can happen now. With the Rock wrecking havoc in the [[Lysandre Labs]], {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s run away from the Labs, along with Team Rocket who flees on the helicopter and decide to continue with reporting the disaster. In [[Anistar City]], [[Olympia]] and her {{p|Meowstic}} note the the Anistar City {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}} glowing red, and Olympia describes it as "trembling". Meanwhile, Ash and Alain have reached the Lumiose Gym and notice Clemont grieving over [[Clembot]]'s destroyed body. Ash asks if Clembot can be repaired, but Clemont states that he will try his best, and that he hasn't been of any use so far. Serena calls Ash to inform about the Giant Rock; he, Alain and Clemont learn that it has absorbed Chespie, shocking both Ash and Alain, and has started out for [[Anistar City|somewhere]]. Professor Sycamore sends them the co-ordinates and asks them to reach the site with [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]. When the call disconnects, Ash asks Clemont if he would like to join, and Clemont agrees, stating that the battle is not over just yet.

[[Squishy]] and {{an|Bonnie}} eventually catch up with an exhausted [[Z2]]. Bonnie tries to greet Z2, but it gets startled and runs away. It confronts Squishy and remarks about the evilness of human beings, but Squishy states that it believes in humans, as they have not given up yet. Bonnie approaches Z2 and attempts to lift it up in her arms, but Z2 is indecisive. Squishy explains how being with Bonnie allowed it to witness the hard work of people and Pokémon, and the trust between them, to achieve happiness, claiming that the humans it travels with, never give up. An excited Bonnie picks up Z2 and starts tickling it, as Blaziken Mask and Mega {{p|Blaziken}} watch from a distance, when they are approached by Ash, Alain, Clemont, and Malva in a helicopter.

Professor Sycamore and Steven report their findings to the group, and explain that the energy of the [[Giant Rock]] strongly resembles Zygarde, and since Chespie had fallen into a coma due to absorbing a part of Zygarde's energy, it absorbed Chespie, to obtain that energy back. They also claim that the Rock, in search of its new energy source, is headed towards the Anistar City Sundial, which contains energy similar to the energy Pokémon emit during [[Mega Evolution]]. Blaziken Mask wonders why the Rock is headed towards the Sundial in particular, and Professor Sycamore explains that the Rock and Sundial, coming in direct contact, would emit enough energy to destroy the world. Ash refuses to let such an event take place, and claims that they can and will stop the Giant Rock and rescue Chespie. Alain, also, comforts Mairin, claiming that he will rescue Chespie for her sake.

At the Anistar City Sundial, [[Officer Jenny]] and Olympia inspect the situation and decide to evacuate the residents of the city. With Team Rocket reporting the movement of the Giant Rock, Professor Sycamore, Steven and Serena try to destroy the Rock with their Pokémon, and send out {{p|Garchomp}}, {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, and {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}. After Mega Evolving their Pokémon, Professor Sycamore and Steven command them to use {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}, while Serena has her Braixen use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but the Rock summons vines to shield itself. The Rock attacks them with vines but they evade and destroy them. However, the vines eventually manage to subdue Mega Garchomp and Mega Metagross, and Braixen is knocked off the Iron Leg Pokémon. Nevertheless, she is saved in the nick of time by Alain's Mega Charizard X and Ash's Pikachu. Mega Charizard X and Pikachu use Flamethrower and {{m|Iron Tail}} to free the captured Pokémon. In [[Lumiose City]], {{an|Tierno}}, {{an|Trevor}}, {{an|Shauna}}, and [[Sawyer]] watch the event involving the Rock, and Sawyer wishes Ash to take care. Concurrently, the energy emitted from the Sundial causes the port to start melting. Ash and Greninja have managed to locate Chespie within the core of the Rock, and Greninja pinpoints Chespie's location with a {{m|Water Shuriken}} for others to target the spot; the Rock, however, keeps attacking the Pokémon with the vines, and the Pokémon are left being engaged in keeping the vines at bay. The Rock eventually manages to capture the Pokémon, but they are rescued by a massive attack, which to Team Rocket's utter surprise, is revealed to have come from all the other seven [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Kalos]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Diantha]]'s, Pokémon. However, Diantha realizes that the combined attack did not have much of an effect on the Rock, and decides to talk with everyone to come up with a different plan.

Discussing their next move, Steven informs Diantha and the Gym Leaders about the target Water Shuriken, and wishes to use the Pokémon's powers to get through, as Steven and Diantha thank each other for their help. [[Korrina]] greets Ash and discusses {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}}, and Olympia congratulates him for eventually controlling the power that comes along with [[Bond Phenomenon]]. With the Giant Rock advancing towards the Sundial, Diantha advises everyone to realize their responsibility in defending the Sundial, and prevent it from coming in contact with the Rock. Malva calls out her {{p|Houndoom}} for assistance as well. Ash asks Serena to take care of Mairin and Bonnie, and Alain assures Mairin that he will return safely with Chespie. In their helicopter, Jessie and {{MTR}} comment on the spectacular defense put up in favor of Kalos, as everyone seems ready to fight for the safety of the world.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Pokémon 24 Hours!" featuring the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kalos]] [[region]].
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes]] and [[Amazon Video]] on December 4, 2016, six days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' through ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'').
* This is the first time {{Ash}} has defeated [[Lysandre|the leader]] of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] in {{pkmn|battle}}.
* This episode marks the first time in the {{pkmn|anime}} that all eight Gym Leaders from a region appear at the same time.
* In this episode, {{TRT}} uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Rocking Kalos Defenses! motto|variation}} of their motto.
* This is the last episode to feature the Kalos design of [[Nurse Joy]].
* A piano version of [[Puni-chan's Song]] is used as an insert song when [[Squishy]] speaks to [[Z2]] about [[human]]s.
* A remix of {{so|XY&Z}} is used as an insert song during {{ashfr|the group}}'s fight against the [[Giant Rock]].
* A full version of [[V (Volt)]] is used as an insert song when all Gym Leaders appear.

===Errors===
* The bottom half of {{AP|Greninja}} is cut off before the group looks over the edge of [[Prism Tower]] after Lysandre falls off.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when {{an|Bonnie}} approaches Z2, her English voice can be heard.

===Dub edits===
* During the scene where the Gym Leaders and [[Diantha]] arrive, the original version displays each character's name and title on screen in Japanese text as they each say their own line. These texts were removed in the dub.
* XY&Z is replaced with an instrumental version of [[Stand Tall]].

==Blurb==

Lumiose City is nearly back to normal, and Serena has an idea for a celebration. With Professor Sycamore’s help, she and Shauna put on a special performance for everyone! They’re soon joined by their Master Class rival Jessilee, and the show is a huge success!

Serena wants to keep pursuing her performance goals, but she’s not sure about her next step. With the support of Ash and her mom, she finally decides to turn down Palermo’s offer so she can keep improving on her own. But Palermo has a surprising response: she suggests that Serena travel to the Hoenn region to try her hand at Pokémon Contests!

==Plot==
With the rebuilding of [[Lumiose City]] and the reopening of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] behind them, {{an|Serena}} is thinking about her future plans and [[XY113|remembers]] the offer that [[Palermo]] made to her. {{an|Bonnie}} draws the group's attention towards the TV, which is broadcasting a news report on the reopening of Prism Tower. The reporter claims that there are still many wounds to be healed in Lumiose City but the light of Prism Tower is sure to guide everyone on the path to recovery. Bonnie praises the [[XY137|lighting up of the tower]], and {{an|Clemont}} calls it as the first steps towards recovery. Hearing these statements, Serena gets an idea and visits {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who appreciates her idea and gladly decides to help.

The next day, Serena leads a clueless {{Ash}}, Clemont and Bonnie towards the center of Lumiose City. They notice a large crowd gathered, just as Professor Sycamore catches up with them and explains that a Performance Exhibition is planned to take place there. He reveals it to be Serena's idea all along, as {{an|Shauna}} arrives with {{an|Trevor}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and [[Sawyer]], who decide that they want to help out too. Sawyer claims that [[XY135|watching them on the TV caused them to be really worried]], but Ash shrugs their concerns off, claiming that they are doing just fine.

On stage, Sycamore greets the audience and begins the Exhibition Showcase. With fireworks going off, Serena and Shauna get on stage with their Pokémon. Serena and Shauna command {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} and {{TP|Shauna|Ivysaur}} to use {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Solar Beam}} respectively, and the collision of moves sends sparkles onto the audience, exciting them. The citizens recognize the two [[Pokémon Performer]]s as Master Class finalists. Dazzled by the performance, Bonnie and her friends are greeted by [[Alain]] and [[Mairin]], with the latter claiming that she had never seen Serena perform before. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, watching the exhibition from the bushes, is puzzled by this out-of-place [[Pokémon Showcase]], and [[James]] deems it as an excellent opportunity to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. [[Jessie]], however, is not pleased, and changes into her Showcase outfit, having decided to perform along with her {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} as well. She commands her Pokémon to use {{m|Seed Bomb}}, which explodes in midair and sends sparkles onto the audience. Serena and Shauna greet the new participant, and the three decide to perform together. Dazzled by the performances, the audience is moved to dance in excitement and celebration. Mairin asks Alain to dance with her, but he is reluctant and refuses; Sycamore, however, arrives on the spot and claims that he needs to have some fun as well. Jessie is overwhelmed by the lovely feeling of Performing, and decides to stay in the [[Kalos]] region with the aim of becoming the Kalos Queen, much to the chagrin of her teammates. Dancing in the audience, Shauna and Serena are glad that everyone is happy and having fun. {{kal|Grace}} has reached the venue as well, and watches the performance from within the audience. {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}}, {{an|Shauna|Flabébé}} and Gourgeist use {{m|Fairy Wind}}, {{m|Moonblast}} and Seed Bomb respectively, to wrap up the exhibition, and the audience cheers. A pleased Grace calls out to Serena who is surprised to see her mother.

At [[Meyer]]'s house, Grace thanks him for taking good care of her daughter, but he, instead, claims that Serena has been a big help in taking care of his son and daughter. Serena asks her mother to rest while she prepares dinner, and her friends decide to help her in the task. Grace is pleased by the [[XY001|change]] [[XY002|in]] [[XY003|Serena]]'s [[XY004|personality]]. Meyer reveals to Grace that the exhibition performance was Serena's idea all along, and adds that she has a wonderful daughter in Serena. Later that night, Grace decides to head back to the hotel; Serena wishes to stay with her for the night, to which Grace gladly agrees.

In the hotel room, Grace asks Serena to share her thoughts and feelings with her, claiming that staying in a hotel room with her is not Serena’s usual style. Serena voices her feelings, claiming that performing on stage that day made her realize why she loved performing so much, and that looking at the smiles and happiness on the crowd's faces made her realize that she wants to see even more smiles, just like [[Aria]] does. However, she fears that doing so might cause her to lose the experience she gained on her journey. Grace, however, shrugs her concerns off, stating that she can notice that her daughter has grown stronger, but adds that her experiences will always be a part of her. She advises Serena to have confidence in herself, before the two go off to sleep.

Morning sets in, and Grace is all set to leave for [[Vaniville Town]]. She asks Serena to let her know once she makes her decision, and leaves the group. Shauna, Tierno and Trevor leave the group as well, as the three have been asked to help out with [[wild Pokémon]] who had left Lumiose City. Ash asks Sawyer what he has decided to do next, and Sawyer reveals that he is heading to the ruins of [[Lysandre Labs]], as he has been asked by [[Steven Stone]] to search for the [[Giant Rock]]. He explains that he received his [[Key Stone]] from Steven, and sees this as a perfect opportunity to pay him back for his help. Ash is excited at this prospect, and the two decide to have a battle the next time they meet, with Sawyer claiming to gain more experience in the meantime. With Sawyer leaving the group, Clemont decides to head out to the Prism Tower as well, to do some cleaning up, and Bonnie tags along with him. Ash and Serena wonder what they should do, and decide to tag along.

At the airport terminal, Ash and Serena learn that the airport is going to be reopened soon, exciting Ash. The two wander through the streets of Lumiose City, with Serena claiming that the place is almost back to normal, something which Ash agrees to. Stopping outside a shop, Ash points Serena to a dress, and Serena calls it cute, before feeling sad. The two visit a sweet shop next, and while enjoying the sweets, Ash notices Serena in her sad mood again. In an attempt to cheer her up, Ash challenges Serena to a battle and runs off holding Serena's hand. The two reach [[XY001|the battlefield on which Ash had his first battle in the Kalos region]], and he explains that having a Pokémon battle always lifts him up when he is feeling down; he believes that having a battle will make her feel better as well. Serena states that she has never had a proper battle with him before, and accepts the challenge. Serena calls out her Braixen to the battlefield, while Ash uses his Pikachu. Pikachu begins with {{m|Quick Attack}}, hurting Braixen, as Serena commends Pikachu on his speed. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} next, which Braixen tries to block with its stick, but is overwhelmed and hit. Serena pulls herself together and asks Braixen to act as if they were rehearsing. She has Braixen use {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Pikachu avoids the attack. Braixen is asked to jump to get closer to Pikachu and to follow up with {{m|Scratch}}; Pikachu retaliates with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Braixen uses {{m|Fire Blast}} next, hurting Pikachu. Ash praises Serena on her battling skills, and adds that she and her Pokémon are strong. He remarks about his troubles and problems with [[Bond Phenomenon|Greninja's transformation]], and claims that one cannot be strong on their own; the support of Pokémon is a must to do their best. Serena thanks Ash and Pikachu for the kind words, and calls out her {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}}. She declares that she knows that it may not be an easy journey, but asks if her Pokémon will take it with her, to which they gladly accept. Serena is very happy and excited, and informs Ash that she knows what she wants to do.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Serena calls [[Palermo]] and refuses her previous offer. She reasons that [[XY064|Aria had told her that her smile can give other people strength]], something which she saw and realized when she was performing in the Exhibition Showcase; even though they had been through so much, the Lumiose Citizens did smile after seeing her performance. So, she has decided that she wants lots of people to see her perform, and to visit lots of places and new regions with her Pokémon, claiming that all the experience will help them grow and mature. Palermo is a little disappointed at the refusal, remarking that Serena had been the first Performer to refuse her offer. She asks if she has decided where she will go next, and noticing Serena's indecision, suggests her to go to the [[Hoenn]] region. She believes that participating in [[Pokémon Contest]]s would be a great way for Serena to learn, and she accepts her suggestion. Palermo states that she is looking forward to see what Serena would have learnt when she returns, adding that she is a big fan of the young Performer. Serena is overwhelmed by Palermo's appreciation and promises to meet her again.

Later, she informs her friends about her decision to go to the Hoenn region, causing {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to burst into tears. Ash wishes her luck, and Serena claims that, despite not knowing where it might lead her, she will always do her best along with her Pokémon, and adds that perhaps she might be able to help other people find their dreams as well.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Serena V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Poké Love TV" focusing on {{p|Braixen}}.
* Clips from ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'', and ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'' are reused in this episode during {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Shauna}}, and [[Jessie]]'s performance.
* The English dub was leaked via Canada's {{wp|Teletoon|Teletoon on Demand}} service on December 15, 2016, 16 days before the episode aired in {{pmin|Canada}} and 23 days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}.
** It was also released on [[iTunes]] and [[Amazon Video]] on December 25, 2016, 13 days before the episode aired in the U.S. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' through ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'').
* In one scene, when {{an|Tierno}} is infatuated by Serena, Shauna pulls him away from her by the ear, a reference to the running gag of how {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] used to pull {{an|Brock}} away from the beautiful girls he was attracted to.
* As stated by {{Ash}} himself, the battlefield where he and Serena have their {{pkmn|battle}} is the same one where Ash had his first battle with {{an|Clemont}} on [[XY001|his first day in Kalos]].
* Despite still being with him, [[Ash's Goodra]] is not seen during the {{pkmn|Showcase}} performance with his other Pokémon.
* This episode marks the last physical appearances of {{kal|Grace}} and [[Meyer]].
* In the Japanese airing, this episode was followed by a preview for the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.
* [[DreamDream]] is used as an insert song and as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending theme]] for this episode, with this version being sung by Serena's Japanese voice actress, [[Mayuki Makiguchi]].
** The insert song version uses the first half of the song while the ending version uses the second half.
* [[Xerosic]], {{an|Clemont}}, and Ash narrate the preview for the [[XY139|next episode]].

===Errors===
* At the beginning of Serena and Shauna's performance, when Serena commands {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, the position of her Pokémon change from being (from left to right) {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}}, and Braixen, with Serena standing to their right; to Braixen, Sylveon, and Pancham, with Serena standing in-between Braixen and Sylveon.
** This is due to the fact that the clip was reused from [[XY109|an earlier episode]].
* When Serena and Shauna walk up to Jessie after she and her {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} make their entrance, Shauna's {{p|Flabébé}} is initially shown to be floating behind Shauna, but when the shot changes, Flabébé is in front of Shauna.
* During Ash and Serena's battle, Braixen begins executing its {{m|Fire Blast}} before Serena could finish calling out the attack.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, during the beginning of the performance, [[Shauna's Ivysaur]] doesn't cry when it launches its {{m|Solar Beam}}.

==Blurb==

After returning Goodra to its home, our heroes are suddenly confronted by a giant creeping vine—just like the ones Team Flare unleashed on Lumiose City! The scientist Xerosic is trying to continue Lysandre’s work, and he even turns a mind-control beam on Clemont! But Clemont is too clever for that—a secret invention rescues him, and Xerosic is arrested.

When another vine attacks our heroes, Squishy and Zygarde come to the rescue…with a difficult request. Ash’s Greninja is able to sense the energy feeding the vines, and Squishy needs its help to stop them. With Ash’s encouragement, Greninja agrees, and joins Squishy to help protect the Kalos region!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have traveled to {{rt|14|Kalos|the wetlands}} in order to return {{AP|Goodra}} home. Ash thanks Goodra for battling alongside him again and promises that this isn't the last time they'll see each other. A tearful {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} jumps up for a hug. Everyone says their final goodbyes before heading back to [[Lumiose City]]. On the way, {{an|Serena}} discovers that Lumiose Airport is running again, meaning that she can head to [[Hoenn]] while Ash can return home to [[Kanto]]. {{an|Clemont}} notes that their journey is nearly over, which makes everyone feel sad. As they continue on their way, Ash senses something heading their way. {{AP|Greninja}}, sensing it too, appears out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Ash wonders what is going on as roots come up from out of the ground. Clemont realizes this is the same as what happened in Lumiose City. Clemont believes that this must be the work of Team Flare, but {{an|Bonnie}} points out that [[Squishy]] got rid of them. Ash decides they need to get rid of the roots right away, transforming into Ash-Greninja. They both see the power inside the roots; Ash has Greninja use {{m|Water Shuriken}}, which defeats the root as a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Cell}} watches from a tree. A deep rumbling begins to occur as a large truck nearly runs them over. The Cell watching them is suddenly picked up and dragged towards the truck because of [[Xerosic]] and his {{p|Malamar}}. Clemont informs the others he was Team Flare's Scientist. He isn't happy at being defeated and has come back, planning to create Team Neo Flare. Bonnie tells him to give back Squishy's friend but he says he won't do it as he plans to obtain Zygarde {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Complete Forme}} and make [[Lysandre]]'s dream come true. Ash has Greninja use Water Shuriken to smash the device but Malamar stops it with {{m|Signal Beam}} before lifting Clemont off his feet. The truck departs, taking Clemont captive, as Greninja chases after it.

Inside the truck, Xerosic informs Clemont that his scientific knowledge will be useful, but Clemont says he'll never help him. Xerosic is unfazed by this as he has other plans, namely to use mind control on Clemont like he did with the Zygarde and make him an advanced human. Xerosic releases Clemont from his restraints and prepares to use the beam but Clemont asks for a chance to clean his glasses first. Xerosic is surprised at this request but allows him to do it before firing the beam and causing him to scream. Nearby, {{TRT}} are going over the footage they shot during the Team Flare incident and editing it to make them look good. They start arguing about where parts of the footage should go, trying to make each of them more prominent, when another root pops up and attacks. Suddenly, Squishy and [[Z2]] come over in their 10% Forme to destroy the root. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} recorded the whole scene and James decides to edit it into the video. The truck screeches to a halt where another Cell is. As Xerosic and Malamar go to look, Greninja comes out of hiding and Ash can see that Greninja has found them. However, he doesn't know where Clemont is, so he has Greninja try and sneak inside. Spotting a Cell, Xerosic has Malamar use {{m|Psychic}} which collects the Cell and puts it into the truck. Greninja is near the truck when it steps on a branch alerting Xerosic, who spots Greninja and orders Malamar to use {{m|Signal Beam}}. Greninja dodges and attacks with Water Shuriken as everyone arrives on scene demanding Xerosic give the captives back. Xerosic decides to retreat for now and orders Malamar to use {{m|Psycho Cut}}, which briefly stops Greninja. Greninja follows after the truck and jumps in front of it, appearing to get run over but Ash realizes Greninja is hanging on under the truck. They chase after the truck, but it flies off and becomes invisible. Xerosic believes he has gotten away and that the machine should be ready. However, thanks to Greninja, Ash knows where they are.

Xerosic returns to Clemont who says that he feels great, and being called the leader of Team Neo Flare makes Xerosic feel satisfied. Ash, Bonnie, and Serena reach a tall rock and Ash tries to figure out where Greninja is. Greninja sees Ash, causing Ash to realize where Greninja is, and decides to jump, much to Bonnie and Serena's surprise, who become worried. As Ash prepares to jump, Serena says she'll go too, as does Bonnie. They all jump together but miss, but Greninja catches them with his tongue and brings them onto the ring. Inside they come across Clemont, but are stopped by Xerosic who tells them Clemont is being mind-controlled. Clemont confirms this and is ordered to capture them. Ash says Clemont would never give in to mind control, and Clemont reveals having never been under Xerosic's control because he placed a device in his glasses to prevent it from working. Xerosic orders {{p|Crobat}} to use {{m|Air Slash}} but Clemont brings out {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to counter with {{m|Pin Missile}}. The attacks collide as Ash has Greninja team up with Chespin. Xerosic orders Malamar to use Signal Beam and {{m|Wing Attack}} but with {{m|Vine Whip}} Chespin is able to dodge and hits Crobat with {{m|Tackle}}. Xerosic becomes angry about this and calls for another Air Slash but Greninja strikes back with Water Shuriken and knocks out Crobat. Xerosic recalls Crobat as he states he will be able to recreate the world. He goes to jump out and recalls Malamar. Clemont uses his Aipom arm to catch Xerosic.

On the ground, [[Officer Jenny]] has Xerosic in handcuffs and before being lead away asks Clemont why he is so strong. Clemont replies it was thanks to spending time with Ash, Bonnie, and Serena, which surprises Xerosic as he is taken away by Officer Jenny. Serena is glad it is over as Bonnie addresses the Cell asking if it knows Squishy. Just then another root springs up from the ground, but it is destroyed by Squishy, who has just arrived. Bonnie is delighted to see Squishy again and hugs it. After being reunited, Squishy asks Greninja to follow it, which Greninja does along with the others. They come across Z2, who speaks telepathically to Greninja and explains that although Team Flare was defeated Kalos is still bearing the scars of the attack, which manifests as the underground roots. It is hard for them to find their exact locations but Greninja is able to locate them easily. Ash tells Greninja what happened before can never happen again, and reminds Greninja about what {{an|Professor Sycamore}} said about them meeting not being a coincidence and their powering up not being an accident, and that this was meant to happen. Ash allows Greninja to leave so that Greninja can track down all the negative energy. They shake hands and hug as the others look on. Greninja goes to leave as Squishy says that Greninja will be under its care and tells Bonnie while they may not see each other for a while it will always be with her. Bonnie understands, and promises to meet up when she becomes a trainer so the two can go on another adventure. Squishy agrees, telling her its a promise. Everyone says goodbye as they set off on their separate ways.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Burn! Pokémon Challenge!!" focusing on [[Ash's Greninja]] in its [[Bond Phenomenon|Ash-Greninja]] form.
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes]] and [[Amazon Video]] on January 1, 2017, thirteen days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that aired after an all-day marathon of ''{{wp|Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!}}'' on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' through ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'').
** However, the episode was pulled from [[iTunes]] and Amazon on January 11, 2017, although those who had already purchased and downloaded the episode could still view it. It was later released again on iTunes and Amazon on January 15, 2017, the day it was supposed to be released.
* This episode was followed by a preview for the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.
* [[Meowth's Ballad]] is used as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending theme]] for this episode.
* In this episode, a piano version of [[Puni-chan's Song]] is used when {{an|Bonnie}} sees [[Squishy]] again.
* This is the first time a {{ashfr|main character}} has released a regional [[starter Pokémon]].
** This is also the first time where a main character has released two Pokémon in the same episode.
* This is the last episode to feature an [[Officer Jenny]] from [[Kalos]].
* This is the last English-dubbed version of an episode in the main series to have its closing credits against a black screen.
* Bonnie's promise to reunite with Squishy when she becomes a {{pkmn|Trainer}} is similar to the promise that [[Max]] made to {{p|Ralts}} back in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* The episode's English title is a reference to a popular phrase from ''{{wp|Star Trek}}'', "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one".

===Errors===
* After {{AP|Greninja}} accepts Squishy's offer, its eyelids are blue instead of black like they are supposed to be in its Ash-Greninja form.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Rayquaza''' if it knows {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, but only if it is not holding a [[Z-Crystal]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Rayquaza featured in the [[Delta Episode]] must be {{pkmn2|caught}} (which requires it to eat the [[Meteorite]]) before the player can Mega Evolve any Rayquaza.

Rayquaza is the game mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the [[weather trio]], serving as its [[trio master]]. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it plays an important role during the Delta Episode and is required to be caught there to fight {{p|Deoxys}}.

==Biology==
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine creature. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.

As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the {{tt|Δ|Delta}} symbol appearing on its forehead. Its eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, tree-like markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality.<ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/mega-rayquaza</ref>

Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same power as a [[Mega Stone]]. A [[Devon Corporation]] scientist named this organ the mikado organ (Japanese: '''ミカド{{tt|器官|きかん}}'''). By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the mikado organ will be filled with enough energy to enable Rayquaza's Mega Evolution.

It is able to soothe the other members of the weather trio, even in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal Forms]]. Rayquaza is said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, where it feeds on water and other particles. Rayquaza is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. Rayquaza preys on the {{p|Minior}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. Rayquaza possesses some of the strongest attack power out of any Pokémon. Rayquaza is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

[[File:Hoopa Mega Rayquaza.png|thumb|220px|Shiny Mega Rayquaza in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]=====
Rayquaza debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fought {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it to be invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====={{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Rayquaza|Rayquaza (anime)}}=====
A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} tried to battle it, but they were quickly defeated by the Sky High Pokémon. It reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where it tried to stop the destructive battle between [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (XY)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (XY)|Kyogre}} as both were trying to obtain the [[Giant Rock]], and eventually succeeded.

=====Other=====
A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', under ownership of [[Cynthia]]. However, it was only an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. Whenever Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a {{Shiny}} Rayquaza.

Rayquaza made its physical main series debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]''. In the episode, it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} were on, presumably in order to protect its territory from them.

A Rayquaza appeared in [[BWS02]]. It was seen by {{an|Iris}}, who decided to follow it and see where it would go next.

A Shiny Rayquaza capable of Mega Evolving appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', summoned alongside {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} by {{an|Hoopa}} to protect it from the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}}. The trio protected Hoopa from the shadow Hoopa and its reinforcements, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}, Primal {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}, in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, the {{pkmn|battle}} ended after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], and Rayquaza departed for its home.

A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', where it was battling {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space. The battle accidentally caused one of the meteors to head towards [[Alola]], though it was ultimately cut up by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Kartana}}, saving the [[region]] from harm.

====Minor appearances====
A Rayquaza made a cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where it was captured by [[Team Rocket]] operatives.

A Rayquaza made a cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A Rayquaza made a cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fired a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at a {{p|Lucario}}.

A Rayquaza made a cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

A Rayquaza briefly appeared in ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} saw it in the sky at [[Starfall Hill]] after saying goodbye to {{p|Minior}}.

===In the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===
A Rayquaza appeared in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], where it descended from the ozone layer and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]].

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Mega Rayquaza PG.png|thumb|250px|Mega Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
A {{player|Trainer}}'s Rayquaza appeared in its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] state in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was seen destroying the [[Grand Meteor Delta]] while being ridden by the Trainer. It later battled a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Deoxys}} that appeared from inside the Meteor, allowing its Trainer to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)#Rayquaza|Rayquaza (Adventures)}}
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|Wally}} and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Pillar]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free. Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the [[Sky Pillar]] when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in conjunction with Ruby's [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s. When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again. It first appeared in ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]''.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Rayquaza appears in ''[[PMRS34|Pokémon Task Force In Action!!]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} try to stop it from destroying the city.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Rayquaza Brawl.png|thumb|left|200px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands in {{sbw|The Lake}}, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox {{sbw|Reflector|reflects}} its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong.

Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in {{sbw|The Great Maze}}, and can be fought in the {{sbw|Boss Battles}} mode after the latter is unlocked. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}{{tt|*|Can't learn this legitimately}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

====Trophy information====
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

[[File:Kalos Pokémon League Dragonmark Chamber SSB4WU.png|thumb|250px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Dragonmark Chamber}} of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it.

====Trophy information====
''This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the Elite Four's Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Rayquaza appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world (Mystery Dungeon)|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* {{ga|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Rayquaza first appears early into the game, fleeing to space in fear of [[Dark Matter]]'s influence. When Dark Matter attempts to take the Tree of Life to space, Rayquaza and Deoxys use their energy to try and slow its ascent from above, with Rayquaza even Mega Evolving. Ultimately, when Dark Matter regenerates itself for the first time, it unleashes even more energy, turning both Rayquaza and Deoxys to stone. At the conclusion of the event, Rayquaza turns back to normal and takes residence at [[Dragon Gate]] and guards the Wind Looplet.

==Trivia==
* Rayquaza has many differences from the other members of [[weather trio|its trio]]:
** It is the only member without a [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]], instead having the ability to [[Mega Evolve]].
** It is the only member not to be directly sought after by a specific [[Villainous teams|villainous team]].
** It is the only member that cannot learn a [[one-hit knockout move]].
** It is the only member that cannot learn its [[signature move]] by level-up, as it must learn it by [[Move Tutor]].
** It is the only member that didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** It is the only member that can participate in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* Mega Rayquaza has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Mega Rayquaza is the tallest Mega Evolved Pokémon.
** It is also the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Rayquaza's catch rate was raised from its original value of 3 to 45 in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Rayquaza is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the Elite Four. However, this is only possible in {{g|Emerald}}.
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|15th Anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[game mascot]]s of the [[core series]] games, making it Japan's favorite game mascot.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" in {{g|Team Turbo}} in every instance.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to do so in the games.
** It is therefore the only Pokémon that can have a different held item (apart from [[Z-Crystal]]s) while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
* Mega Rayquaza is tied with {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Evolutions for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding non-playable Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}}.
** This makes it the only Pokémon with a base stat total above 720 that doesn't require a specific held item.
* When Mega Evolving Rayquaza, the game will state, "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza", instead of the normal message.
* Rayquaza was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/</ref>
* In the Pokémon of the Year poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Rayquaza was voted the most popular [[Generation III]] Pokémon, receiving 60,939 votes. It was also the eighth-most popular Pokémon overall.
** It was also voted as the most popular [[Legendary Pokémon]], as well as being the only Legendary to make the top ten results.

===Origin===
Rayquaza's design is probably based on the {{wp|Chinese dragon}} and the {{wp|Lindworm}}. Its role is similar to that of {{wp|Ziz}} in Hebrew legends. Rayquaza matches the description of the Aztec god {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, who was depicted as a flying serpent, and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza most likely refers to ''{{wp|Raqiya}}'', the Hebrew word for "firmament". It also may be a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".

Rayquaza's mikado organ refers to 帝 ''mikado'' (emperor), another name for the {{wp|Emperor of Japan}} or 天皇 ''tennō'' in Japanese, which can be translated as either "heavenly sovereign" or "king of the heaven/sky".

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=Dragon|type2=Flying

'''Pokémon Red Version''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター　赤}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Red'') and '''Pokémon Green Version''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター　緑}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Green'') are role-playing video games developed by [[Game Freak]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the handheld [[Game Boy]]. They were first released in Japan on February 27, 1996,<ref name="TPC">[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/other/gb-rg/ ポケットモンスター赤・緑 | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref><ref name="NoJ">[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/apajapbj/ ポケットモンスター赤・緑]</ref> and were later followed by the updated {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue}} and the supplementary {{game|Yellow||Pokémon Yellow}}. They are the first video games in the [[Pokémon games|Pokémon series of games]].

Developed over the course of several years, Red and Green established several standards for later Pokémon games and sequels. They take place in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], with the player having to collect eight [[Gym Badges]] to become the [[Pokémon Champion]] while also completing the [[Pokédex]] by collecting all 151 Pokémon. The game was a commercial success in Japan, which prompted the localization of Red and Green for an international release; the games were then released as [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue]].

In 1999, the sequels to these games, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, were released for the [[Game Boy Color]]. In 2004, Red and Green were remade for the [[Game Boy Advance]] as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In Japan, the original 1996 games, along with Blue and Yellow, were released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] on February 27, 2016—the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]].<ref name="VC">[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/VCAMAP/game/ 『ポケットモンスター』シリーズの原点 | ニンテンドー3DSバーチャルコンソール用ソフト『ポケットモンスター赤・緑・青・ピカチュウ』公式サイト]</ref> The rerelease also allowed compatibility with [[Poké Transporter]], a tool which can send Pokémon from Virtual Console copies of Pokémon to [[Pokémon Bank]], where they can be withdrawn in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

Red and Green begin the Pokémon series in the region of [[Kanto]], where {{player}}s play the role of {{ga|Red}}, an eleven-year-old boy who has just started his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]], on the same day as his {{ga|Blue}}, who is Red's rival and the grandson of the local authority on Pokémon, [[Professor Oak]]. Oak lets the two boys choose a [[starter Pokémon]], a choice of the {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, or the {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}} (and with the player's rival choosing the Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's Pokémon). Oak also gives them a [[Pokédex]] and asks them to catch all the Pokémon in the region.

During their travels, the player will encounter the villainous [[Team Rocket]] and their boss [[Giovanni]], a criminal gang that treats Pokémon as tools, rather than train them as friends and partners. The player must defeat them to put a stop to their crimes, which include killing a {{p|Marowak}} while keeping [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage, and taking control of [[Silph Co.]] to obtain plans for the [[Master Ball]]. The rival will also continuously challenge the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}, with an increasingly powerful team. As the player's own Pokémon become more powerful, they draw closer to the [[Indigo Plateau]].

Between the battles with Team Rocket, their rival, and other trainers, the player journeys across the region, defeating all the [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Brock]], [[Misty]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Erika]], [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Blaine]]. The eighth and final Gym Leader is Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni, who disbands the team after his final defeat within his Gym. After defeating all eight Gym Leaders, the player goes on to challenge the [[Elite Four]]: [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], [[Agatha]], and [[Lance]], and finally, in the last battle, the current Champion, the player's {{ga|Blue|rival}}.

The player becomes the Champion after defeating their rival and is commended by Professor Oak for their friendship with Pokémon. After becoming Champion, the player will be allowed to enter the mysterious [[Cerulean Cave]], filled with strong Pokémon, where the Legendary {{p|Mewtwo}} awaits.

==Features==
===Gyms===
As would become the case for each Pokémon game in the [[core series]] to come, there are eight [[Gym]]s in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The [[Gym Leader]]s are:
[[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}) at [[Pewter City]], [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}) at [[Cerulean City]], [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}) at [[Vermilion City]], [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}) at [[Celadon City]], [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}) at [[Fuchsia City]], [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}) at [[Saffron City]], [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) at [[Cinnabar Island]], and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}) at [[Viridian City]].

===Elite Four===
Another standard established by Red and Green, the goal for players, the [[Elite Four]], is located at [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite Trainers are [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}), and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}). The [[Pokémon Champion]] is the rival, {{ga|Blue}}, who does not specialize in any one type.

===Pokémon===
Each game contains pre-recorded data on 151 different species of Pokémon, including {{p|Mew}}, a Pokémon even Nintendo was not aware of initially.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version | 1. Just Making The Last Train]</ref> However, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. In addition, Mew is not normally obtainable in either game; the only legitimate way to obtain Mew is through a Nintendo sponsored event.

====[[Game-exclusive Pokémon]]====
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] which has that Pokémon available.

==Connectivity==
Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges or battle with another cartridge using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair and others require trading to evolve, making trading necessary to complete the [[Pokédex]]. The games can trade and battle with Japanese versions of Pokémon Red, Green, {{v2|Blue|_(Japanese)}} and {{game|Yellow}}. They can also trade with Japanese versions of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} via the [[Time Capsule]]. Pokémon Red and Green are completely incompatible with games from [[Generation III]] onward.

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since neither game fully [[Character encoding in Generation I|encodes]] both {{wp|kana}} and the {{wp|Latin alphabet}} (only encoding one fully and the other partially). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed.

Pokémon Red and Green are compatible with {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium 2}} (released as Pokémon Stadium in English), and [[Pokémon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver]] (released as Pokémon Stadium 2 in English). While link battles are not possible directly between Pokémon Red and Green and the Generation II games, a player may challenge a Generation II game using [[Pokémon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver]].

===Virtual Console===
The [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases use 3DS wireless communication as a substitute for the Game Link Cable. Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I core series games do not recognize each other when attempting to link them via 3DS wireless communication.

Using [[Poké Transporter]], the entirety of Box 1 can be sent from the Generation I core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]] (regardless of language), from where they can be withdrawn in the [[Generation VII]] core series games.

==Differences in the Virtual Console release==
The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue.

Using [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon can be sent from the Generation I core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]], from which they can be withdrawn in the [[Generation VII]] core series games.

The moves {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Bubble Beam|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Guillotine}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Mega Kick}}, {{m|Mega Punch}}, {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}}, {{m|Spore}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}} had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing.

==Legacy==
Pocket Monsters Red and Green set the precedent for what has become a blockbuster, multibillion-dollar franchise. In Japan, Red, Green, and the [[core series|third version]] Blue combined have sold 10.23 million copies.<ref>[http://www.the-magicbox.com/topten2.htm Japan Platinum Game Chart. The Magic Box. Access date: 2008-01-26.]</ref> In the United States, Pokémon Red has sold 4.83 million copies, while Pokémon Blue has sold 5.02 million copies.<ref>[http://www.the-magicbox.com/Chart-USPlatinum.shtml US Platinum Videogame Chart. The Magic Box. Access date: 2008-01-26.]</ref> These numbers combine to make a total of 9.85 million copies sold in the US.

Pocket Monsters Red and Green were the namesake of the [[Generation III]] remakes of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} released in 2004, even in regions where Blue was paired with Red.

* As a possible attempt at fixing the [[Select glitches|Select glitch]], v1.1 restricts the player from performing the Select glitch solely within a battle (through pressing Select in the inventory from a battle, exiting and pressing A on a Pokémon from the party menu). Despite this, the Select glitch can still be performed if Select was pressed on an item from outside of battle first. The glitch continued in Japanese Blue before being fixed in Japanese Yellow.
* v1.1 introduces [[List of glitches in Generation I#Binding move wrong side fainting glitch|a glitch with partial trapping moves]] in which the user unintentionally faints at the same time as the opponent after the opponent faints due to poison or burn during the immobile turn of a partial trapping move used by the opponent. Although the user's Pokémon faints, it can still be sent out from the Pokémon menu with the amount of HP it had before the glitch.
* v1.0 originally featured a corrupted data error message (【じぶんの　データが　こわれています！】 "''My data is corrupted!''" or 【あいての　データが　こわれています】"''[Your] partner's data is corrupted!''") if the user or the opponent attempts to trade or battle when either has the 0x60 character "Ａ" as the first character in their name. v1.1 and all other releases remove the error message.
* The locations of internal functions (e.g. the bank switch function) are changed.
* There are some unintended differences in glitches. For example, a glitch item known as GoldBadge (hex:6A) brings up a Poké Mart exclusively in v1.0.

==Development==
{{main|Pokémon Red and Green beta}}
Pokémon Red and Green had many pre-release elements that differ from the final release, although the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} would later have several altered aspects of their own during the two-and-a-half years between the release of Red and Green, their bug-fixing release {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Blue}}, and the release of the merger of the trio into Red and Blue for overseas markets.

An error made during development causes the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} depicted during [[Professor Oak]]'s introductory lecture to be a {{p|Nidorino}} but with the [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidorina}}. It was not fixed in the Japanese Blue or in the international Red and Blue.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD}}
{{main|Pokémon Red & Pokémon Green: Super Music Collection}}
The Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD soundtrack, released on November 1, 1997, contains all of the background music and sound effects used in the games, all of which were composed solely by [[Junichi Masuda]]. This includes {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Cry|cries]] and [[Pokédex]] entries read by "Dexter", {{Ash}}'s Pokédex. A reissue of the Red and Green soundtrack was released on April 27, 2016 as Pokémon Red & Pokémon Green: Super Music Collection.

[[File:RG prerelease flyer original release date.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Pre-release flyer with the earlier release date]]
* Development of Red and Green started during 1990, making their development the longest of all [[Pokémon games]] by far.
* The game's main characters, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue|Green}}, have several default names, among them サトシ ''Satoshi'' and シゲル ''Shigeru'', respectively. These names come from Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and his friend and fellow Nintendo developer, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. In the English counterparts Red and Blue, the default names are Red and Blue. Alternative names that could be chosen were [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Gary Oak|Gary]], after the anime characters that share the names Satoshi and Shigeru, respectively.
* While Red and Green are the first Pokémon games released, they were not necessarily the first [[Pokémon]] trademark ever registered. {{p|Mew}} was the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application for the Pokémon was submitted on May 9, 1990, while the application for Pocket Monsters Red and Green was submitted on September 11, 1995. Before Red and Green were granted registered trademarks on December 26, 1997, Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) had already become the first Pokémon trademark registered, granted on March 31, 1994; ミュウ was later granted on August 6, 1999.
* {{p|Mew}} was added to the internal data after the debugging features were removed. The programmers took a great risk in doing so, since further tests for [[glitch]]es that would have been caused by adding Mew could not be done, which goes against standard programming procedures.
* The games were originally scheduled for a December 21, 1995 release, according to an old Nintendo of Japan flyer.<ref>[http://famicom.chu.jp/p/logs/log_disp.php?no=S0001&ind=10001 すばらしきポケットモンスター赤緑（表側）の広告]</ref> This could explain the copyright year of 1995 that appears in the games' introductory sequence, and all subsequent games and official merchandise.
* In ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} references these games with his password, "REDGREEN".

Dragon Stones

2020-03-23T19:25:40Z

PinkYoshiFan: minor fix

{{Japanese name}}
The (Japanese: '''{{tt|竜|りゅう}}の{{tt|石|いし}}''' ''Dragon Stones'') are the two [[Legendary artifacts]], the [[Light Stone]] and the [[Dark Stone]], which contain {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, respectively. They were only referred to collectively as the Dragon Stones in the original Japanese version of the movies [[M14|''Black—Victini and Reshiram'' and ''White—Victini and Zekrom'']].

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
According to legend, long before the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}, the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|Twin Heroes]] shared a powerful dragon. However, they could not decide whether to pursue truth or ideals, so the dragon split into {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} and each followed one of the brothers. Since they were both born from the same dragon, neither could defeat the other and the brothers declared that there was no right side. However, eventually their sons continued the fight and both the dragons started to battle again, destroying the [[Unova]] region with their fire and lightning powers before disappearing. Both dragons' bodies were destroyed, and they transformed into the Light Stone and Dark Stone, respectively.

===Pokémon Black and White===
The Dark Stone{{sup/5|B}}/Light Stone{{sup/5|W}} resides in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], while the Light Stone{{sup/5|B}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}} once resided in the [[Relic Castle]] (which was excavated and put on display in the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]] prior to the events of Black and White). The Dark Stone{{sup/5|B}}/Light Stone{{sup/5|W}} is revived as Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}} and called upon by [[N]] to create a world where Pokémon and people are separate. [[Team Plasma]] also tracked down that the Light Stone{{sup/5|B}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}} should have been located in the Relic Castle and searched it, only to find that it was gone. [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Lenora]] then realized that the "ordinary stone" displayed in the museum was actually the Light Stone{{sup/5|B}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}}, and request that the player come to [[Nacrene City]] immediately via [[Xtransceiver]]. Lenora then gives the Light Stone{{sup/5|B}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}} to the player, who must then revive the Legendary dragon within it and battle N. This revival and battle occur at [[N's Castle]], a structure that emerged from the ground around the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
N arrives at the [[Giant Chasm]] in response to {{p|Kyurem}}'s suffering at the hands of [[Ghetsis]], saving the player from [[Glaciate (move)|being frozen]] with {{p|Zekrom}}'s{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}'s{{sup/5|W2}} [[signature move]]. Anticipating this, Ghetsis uses the DNA Splicers on Kyurem, enabling it to revert {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} back into the [[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|W2}}. Kyurem then absorbs the stone and [[Absofusion|fuses]] with it to form Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. After the player defeats the fused dragon, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} is freed and returns to N's side.

Once the player enters the Hall of Fame for the first time, N's Zoroark will stop blocking a cliffside path at {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} and will lead the player down to the ruins of N's Castle. Upon entering the castle, N requests that player head to the deepest chamber. In the throne room, N recalls the fateful battle two years ago and asks the player to battle him and his {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. After the player defeats him, N reverts his dragon into its primordial stone and hands it to the player, with instructions to bring it to [[Dragonspiral Tower]] in order to summon and capture {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Zekrom M14 Dragon Stone.png|thumb|220px|left|The Dark Stone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Reshiram M14 Dragon Stone.png|thumb|220px|The Light Stone in the anime]]
The Dark and Light Stones first appeared in [[M14|''Black—Victini and Reshiram'' and ''White—Victini and Zekrom'']]. As embodiments of the dragons, the stones can glow according to the inhabitants' power source, with the Light Stone glowing red from {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}'s fire and the Dark Stone glowing blue from {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}'s electricity. They first appeared under the ownership of the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals]], as the hibernating forms of the fatigued dragon Pokémon. The stones were hidden below the [[Sword of the Vale]] by the heroes. In ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'', {{Ash}} awakened Reshiram while [[Damon]] awakened Zekrom; in ''White—Victini and Zekrom'', the opposite scenario happened.

An item called the "Golden Dark Stone" appeared in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]'', where it was hidden in the [[Hero's Ruin]]. It was sought by [[Cedric Juniper]]. Unlike the Dark Stone, this item was golden instead of black, and merely summons Zekrom instead of being its dormant form.

The Light Stone made its main series debut in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', where it was found in the {{an|White Ruins}} by Cedric. {{an|N}} soon snatched it away, claiming that he wanted to ask {{p|Reshiram}} why it had attacked [[N's Castle|Team Plasma's castle]] years before. Ash tried to chase after him, but got stuck in a sinkhole. N tried to help him, but ended up falling down the same hole with Ash. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Pignite}}, {{AP|Krookodile}}, and {{AP|Charizard}}, Ash was able to dig them a way back to the surface, where [[Team Plasma]] had launched an attack on the White Ruins, intending to get the Light Stone for themselves. When [[Colress]] used his Pokémon Control Device on Pikachu, forcing it to attack Ash and his friends, N surrendered the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Ash's safety. [[Ghetsis]] then proceeded to conduct a ritual to awaken Reshiram, successfully restoring the Vast White Pokémon to its true form.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Dark Stone Adventures.png|thumb|200px|The Dark Stone in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Light Stone Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|The Light Stone in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{chap|Black & White}}====
The Light Stone and Dark Stone initially resided at the [[Desert Resort]], where they were found and excavated by [[Clay]] and his mining team in ''[[PS465|Lights, Camera...Action!]]''. After investigating the stones, he felt worried and called [[Lenora]] to come and investigate them with her expertise on ancient artifacts. Lenora took both stones to her museum, but only made the Dark Stone discovery public so that the Light Stone could be kept a secret. Later, Lenora called [[Drayden]] to help her investigate the stones, which helped them realize that they were actually {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}.

The Dark Stone was sought out by [[Team Plasma]], who, led by the [[Shadow Triad]], attacked the [[Nacrene Gym]] in ''[[PS495|The Battle Within]]'' in order to obtain the artifact. Although the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s raiding the building failed to find the stone, [[Ghetsis]] managed to trick {{adv|Black}} into revealing the entrance to the secret room where the Dark Stone was hidden. In ''[[PS497|Finding Truth]]'', the stone was delivered to {{adv|N}} at the Dragonspiral Tower, where he awakened Zekrom from it and converted it to his side to become the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|Hero of Ideals]]. [[Brycen]], having noticed the Light Stone rolling out of its safe towards Black, and thus acknowledging him as the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|Hero of Truth]], agreed with Drayden to entrust the stone to Black, which he did in ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]'', after being beaten by Black in a [[Gym]] battle. In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', during the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament, Black's rage over Team Plasma having convinced {{adv|Cheren}} to side with their beliefs caused the Light Stone to be awakened into Reshiram. He then proceeded to use Reshiram to battle N's Zekrom, eventually emerging victorious. After the battle was over and Team Plasma had been defeated, Reshiram started reverting into its stone form once again. Ghetsis, wanting to get revenge on Black for foiling his plans, used [[Colress]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}} to push Black closer to the forming stone, causing him to get sucked into it as well. The Light Stone then floated away before {{adv|White}} could grab it.

===={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS540|Flying Ship]]'', the Light Stone was seen flying towards the Unova region alongside N and Zekrom, having reacted to the awakening of {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}. [[Fennel]] later sent White to search for the stone at the [[Entralink]], where she was able to find it. N, having followed the stone, told White that the stone had landed to the Entralink on purpose for her to find.

In [[PS543]], after Ghetsis had obtained the [[DNA Splicers]], he ordered Kyurem to absorb Zekrom, turning both Zekrom and N, who was on its back at the time, into the Dark Stone, which was subsequently absorbed by Kyurem. However, N was soon ejected back outside.

In [[PS544]], the inside of the Light Stone was revealed to be connected to the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. After White had been briefly sucked into the Stone and reunited with Black, Reshiram emerged from the Stone, freeing both Black and White from it in the process.

In [[PS546]], Kyurem ejected the Dark Stone from its body and turned Reshiram into the Light Stone before absorbing it instead.

===In the Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder manga===
[[File:Light Stone FAT.png|thumb|150px|The Light Stone in Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]]
The Light Stone appeared in ''[[FAT4|Get the Legendary Pokémon!]]'', where {{OBP|Shin|FAT}} and [[Alder]] found it at the [[Relic Castle]]. After an apparent betrayal by Alder, which was soon revealed to be merely a test to see if Shin was worthy for the Light Stone to accept him as the Hero of Fire, the stone turned into Reshiram. Shin then flew off with Reshiram to confront N and Zekrom at [[N's Castle]].
