==Blurb==

Arriving in Ecruteak, Ash immediately heads to the Gym to challenge it's leader for his next Johto League badge. Our heroes soon realize this isn't a normal gym... it bursts into flames as soon as they enter! Trying to douse the flames with their water Pokémon, they find out the blaze is bogus. It's actually the Gastly, Haunter and Gengar instigating the illusion. Find out how these Ghost-Types end up helping our heroes when Togepi and Pikachu get lost among the ruins. Plus, don't miss the Gastly lesson they teach Team Rocket!

==Plot==
Arriving in [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} immediately makes his way to the [[Gym]] to challenge its leader for his next [[Johto League]] [[Badge]]. Walking through Ecruteak to get to the Gym, they come across a fire breathing salesman that stops them, claiming to be 'just the guy they're lookin' for'. After talking briefly with this strange person, the trio is asked to buy an [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]]. Brushing this salesperson off, Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} continue on the trail headed toward the Gym.

The scene changes to {{TRT}} talking about trailing the twerps and that 'if experience has told them anything, it's that they've learned from trailing those twerps they would stop at a Johto League Gym for a Badge'. After going off on that discussion, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} claim to be hungry and hand James the money to go buy them all food. However, James runs into the same sales person that Ash and company had and instantly buys the Itemfinder after being convinced of its uses and ability. As soon as James returns with the Itemfinder, both Jessie and Meowth show their great distaste with it and tell James to give them the money so that they can buy something to eat. James soon explains that he spent all the money on the Itemfinder and is soon able to convince both Jessie and Meowth (even if only slightly) that he could find treasure with it. Turning it on, James soon has the Itemfinder go off and the three of them become excited that it actually found something. However, they soon become upset by the fact that it was merely a bottle cap -- James being the only one enthralled by having found it.

Arriving at the gates of the supposed 'Gym', Misty speculates that the Gym isn't like any others that they have seen before. As they venture through this 'Gym' for a few moments, the trio is soon finding themselves running away from flames that mysteriously appeared within the building. Trying to douse the flames with their {{type|Water}} Pokémon, they find out the blaze is merely an illusion thanks to {{p|Gastly}} that reside in the burned out building. They were revealed thanks to Ash's {{AP|Noctowl}}'s {{m|Foresight}}. Soon after having the Gastly revealed, Ash commands Noctowl to use {{m|Tackle}} on the Gastly in the area after they attack them with {{m|Night Shade}}. The Gastly are soon warded off and the trio gives a sigh of relief only to be on edge again by the Gastly coming back... and with {{p|Haunter}} accompanying them.

Getting ready for battle, Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|ThunderShock}} on the {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Ash is ready to do more than he has at this point when the Gastly and Haunter disappear, making it so that Pikachu's attacks couldn't hit. Soon, a {{TP|Morty|Gengar}} appears and all the other Ghost-type Pokémon seem to be weary of its presence. Ash is about to command another ThunderShock before an unknown voice calls out, "Stop."

Turning his attention toward where the voice came from, a young blond man is revealed, standing atop of the staircase. At the initial sight of the man, all the Ghost Pokémon instantly hover over before him. After they do, this man soon tells Ash and the others that they should understand that the Pokémon were not trying to harm them, but merely trying to protect the place it is they reside because they felt threatened by their appearance. As soon as he does, Ash asks this person who he is and the man dismisses the Pokémon before him before responding that he is [[Morty]], Leader of the Ecruteak City Gym. All Ash, Misty and Brock seem to be surprised at the mention, though Ash quickly regains his bearings and claims to Morty that he wants to compete for the Gym Badge that he holds.

Merely smiling to Ash, Morty explains that he would love to battle Ash in an official Gym battle but that they couldn't do it where they were. Morty continues on to say that the place that they were was and has been confused as the Ecruteak City Gym by many different Trainers that pass through the city. Brock asks just what exactly the place is and Morty gives his response that it 'used to be a place of brightness and hope; now it's a place of darkness', and that's why so many Ghost Pokémon have come to live there. After coming to that realization that the place is the home of all the Pokémon that attacked them, a small feeling of guilt is bestowed upon them.

Having the guilt vanish as quickly as it came when seeing a plaque of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Ash quickly runs over to it, asking what it is, where Morty replies and explains that it's Ho-Oh, one of the ancient legendary Pokémon. At that response, Ash responds with: "It may be legendary, but I saw one!" This is when the flashback of him seeing Ho-Oh plays over. As soon as said flashback ends, Morty instantly lets Ash know that he's highly skeptical about his seeing Ho-Oh, as they have not been seen for three centuries. Ash is a little miffed by Morty's not believing him, though after being told that it's been over three-hundred years since anyone's seen it, his miffed state fades. Morty then goes on to say that there's a tower that was rebuilt not too far away from the burned out building that they're all in. He further explains that the tower he mentions is a copy of the one that they're standing in.

Ash then questions what happened to the original tower that they're in, soon receiving a rather long-winded response:

"It was built to promote understanding between humans and Pokémon, and my ancestors protected it for generations. Over the decades, the [[Tin Tower]] became a special place for another reason. It was the only place on earth where Ho-Oh, the legendary Pokémon, made contact with humans. Ho-Oh's visits were a sign of peace, but it would only appear to a chosen few. Only those guarding the tower. Then, one day, invaders came who sought to use the Ho-Oh's power for evil! In the ensuing battle, the Tin Tower was set afire! The Ho-Oh fled... it ceased to make contact with humans... and it has never returned. Some wanted to rebuild the tower, but my ancestors insisted that it be left as a witness for future generations of man's brutality -- but they also decided to build a new Tin Tower. Their hope was that the Ho-Oh might return, to a new place of peace. So far... these hopes have been in vain.... We've waited so long that some people say that Ho-Oh was a legend that never really existed."

As soon as Morty stops with the historic response of the towers, Ash pipes up that he knows that he saw Ho-Oh and that it isn't just a legend that didn't exist. While going off on that, Pikachu notices that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is wandering off further into the [[Burned Tower]], and heading for a hole that only small Pokémon would be able to fit through. Acting as the caretaker of Togepi, Pikachu instantly jumps from Ash's shoulder and bounds over stop the young Pokémon -- its efforts only turning out to be rather futile. As soon as both Pokémon disappear into the small hole, Morty leads the others toward a part of the burned out tower that would lead them to the same general location that both Pikachu and Togepi ran off in.

Busting open an old and worn out door, Ash comments on the fact that the place is like a maze. Morty explains that due to the fire, a lot of the support beams weakened and fell, now making it so that venturing further than where they were currently would be too dangerous for them. Morty soon tells Misty that there are other ways to find the two Pokémon, and this is where he calls upon {{p|Gengar}} to rally up the other Ghost Pokémon residing in the building and find both Pikachu and Togepi.

Just as soon as Pikachu catches up with Togepi, it instantly bounds off, heading deeper into the tower. Just outside, however, Team Rocket is following the beeping of the Itemfinder that James bought up the stairs to the place of the burned out tower. James instantly runs over to where the Itemfinder is pointing him, excited about what may be under whatever it is he's run to while both Jessie and Meowth are thoroughly unimpressed by the fact that they've been finding nothing but bottle caps. Meowth insists on calling it a sack of garbage and both he and Jessie agree that the caps are worthless, while James defends them and says that they're extremely valuable collector's items. This only rouses the suggestion to sell them for extra cash, but James is too attached to them to allow that to happen.

Togepi soon pushes through rubble, instantly capturing Team Rocket's attention and making them sparkle with joy. Their joy is only amplified by the fact that Pikachu comes pushing up through the rubble soon after. When Pikachu sees Team Rocket with Togepi in their possession, it's about to shock them all with a powerful attack before they tell it that it shouldn't attack them unless it wanted to hurt Togepi as well. At the mention of that, Pikachu instantly stops, not feeling good about not giving Team Rocket a good jolt. While Team Rocket is dancing for joy, however, Gastly peeks out from the hole created from both Togepi and Pikachu and then swiftly goes to tell Morty and the others that it has found the location of the two Pokémon.

Here, it is speculated that Morty can also communicate with Ghost Pokémon more than just being friends with them, however, nothing is solidly confirmed. Getting the news from the Gastly, Morty tells to Ash and his friends that they've seen where both Pikachu and Togepi are located before following along after it. Ash questions how it is that Morty is able to understand the Gastly, where the only response received from him is: "Practice."

The scene changes again to an excited and laughing Team Rocket, this time with them running off with Pikachu and Togepi strapped upon their backs. They're making their out of the city until Morty's Gengar appears and trips them via using its tongue. Falling face first onto the ground, Jessie gets up first and instantly pegs the blame on Meowth, who honestly denies the action since he tripped as well. As soon as James says that it must have been something, Morty's Gengar appears before them, startling James back up onto his feet. At this point, Morty and the others have arrived on the scene and Ash points out that it's Team Rocket.

Morty tells them to give back both Pikachu and Togepi, where Team Rocket quickly disregard it and start off their whole motto as they normally do. Ash runs in telling them to give back the Pokémon after the motto and Meowth jumps up to scratch at his face. Backing off at that, Jessie and James applaud Meowth for his work and then start taunting Ash and the others with both Pikachu and Togepi in their possession. Ash and Misty instantly demand a battle for both Pikachu and Togepi -- Jessie says that they'd be happy to before Meowth interjects that every time they try to battle the twerps, they end up losing badly to them and that it would be just best to run for it. Asking James what he thought, he agrees with Meowth to beat it and the three of them start running again with Ash and the others chasing after them while calling them cowards.

Chasing after them, Morty calls upon Gengar once more, who appears beside both he and Ash, and then issues the command to take back both Togepi and Pikachu. At this, both Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to stall the Ghost-type Pokémon from catching up with them. Gengar soon hovers close to the ground and then disappears to ward them off its location, causing both Arbok and Weezing to be confused for a brief couple of moments. It soon then appears behind them and rushes in to knock them into the neighboring thicket that's next to the pathway that they're on. Both Arbok and Weezing get momentarily knocked out as they come into contact with the trees and Gengar goes to halt Team Rocket in their tracks by simply appearing before them. As soon as the trio is rather trapped, Morty calls them out on being thieves and asks, "how can people who are Pokémon Trainers steal other peoples' Pokémon!?"

Getting an answer from Team Rocket, Morty quickly commands Gengar to use Night Shade on Team Rocket. This attack hits the straps on both Meowth and James' backs, releasing both Togepi and Pikachu. As the two Pokémon are flying through the air after being released, Morty calls upon Haunter and Gastly to catch both of them and bring them to Ash and Misty without harm. After the small reunion, both Jessie and James persist on getting back at the Gengar and brings both Arbok and Weezing into battle. Both Pokémon dive in for Gengar, and the Ghost-type merely braces itself for impact before Morty tells it to dodge the attacks. Following orders, Gengar disappears and both Arbok and Weezing crash into the ground.

Appearing above the battle scene, Gengar grins to them and Jessie commands Arbok to perform a {{m|Wrap}} attack on it. The move only appears to be successful, however, Morty again tells Gengar to disappear. Following instruction once again, Gengar vanishes from Arbok's hold, making Arbok and Team Rocket shocked as to what they just witnessed. Morty, deciding to make the battle quick now, issues the next command: for Gengar to use one of its most powerful attacks, {{m|Shadow Ball}}. At that, however, both Jessie and James stupidly command both Arbok and Weezing to take it head on. Because of this, The Shadow Ball hits the directly and sends them headlong into the ground, causing Team Rocket to 'blast off again'.

Looking at the damage that the Shadow Ball created, Ash remarks in awe of Morty's Gengar's Shadow Ball. Brock's response to that was that Ash should be careful, now that he knows what exactly his opponent is capable of. Here, we near the end of the episode and Morty tells Ash that they could have their battle now, however, he imagined that both he and his Pokémon must be tired. Saying that resting up will make it a better battle, the two part ways for just the day and both Misty and Brock ask Ash about how he would handle Morty in battle the next day. The only response that he gives is that they'd just have to see tomorrow!

==Trivia==
* This episode was initially titled ''The Tower Inferno''; however, unlike ''[[EP023|The Tower Of Terror]]'', this episode was renamed rather than skipped after the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}.
** Despite this, several sources still refer to this episode as ''The Tower Inferno''. [[Pokémon.com]] formerly referred to this episode by that title.
* The English title of this episode is taken from the phrase ''"a ghost of a chance"''.
* This episode features the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]], though it is referred to as a "Treasure Detector".
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 9: Ghost'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' can be heard in this episode.
* Because [[Ecruteak City]] is based on real-world Kyoto, Japan, there were many references to the characteristics of the real city. Women dressed in ''Kimono'' were seen multiple times in the episode. Further, a man can be seen in the beginning of the episode eating ''Takoyaki'', a popular snack in the Kansai region.

===Errors===
* In the English dub, a {{p|Haunter}} appears and cries "{{p|Gengar}}" instead of "Haunter".
* As a {{type|Normal}}, {{AP|Noctowl}} should be completely immune to {{type|Ghost}} attacks. However, this is not the case in this episode.
* The Pokémon logo isn't on the title screen when {{Ash}} says it.
* When {{AP|Totodile}} is in the fire, its mouth moves but nothing comes out.
* When [[Morty]] introduces himself, his mouth moves but he doesn't say anything for the first second after the image finishes tilting.
* When [[Jessie]] [[recall]]s her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} after {{TRT}} steals {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, the button on Wobbuffet's [[Poké Ball]] is missing.

===Dub edits===
* A shot where Ash and {{ashfr}} entering the Burned Tower is skipped.
* The scene where Ash and his friends are chasing {{TRT}} with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was edited for violence. When Ash first attempts to get both Pokémon back, {{MTR}} scratches Ash's face in the original version. In the dub, the scratching was replaced with stars on a black background.
* The original airing of this episode on Hungama TV in {{pmin|India}} started it directly from the title card, skipping the part of the episode that comes before it.

'''Swampert''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラグラージ''' ''Laglarge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Swampert has a huge cobalt blue-colored body and massive, three-fingered open palms. Swampert has a wide mouth, and three small pointed protrusions from its upper jaw. Two orange gills protrude from round patches on its cheeks, and two large, semiovular black fins rise from the top of its orange eyes on its head. Swampert's tail fin is huge, broad and black. Swampert's underside has white coloration, and its hands and three-toed feet each have orange, ridged portions.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Swampert possesses immense physical strength, with enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. It can apply its strength to its powerful hands to use {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Swampert has powerful vision, enabling it to see even in murky water. It, like many Water-type Pokémon, is a fast swimmer and can swim as fast as a jet ski. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Water-type starter Pokémon), Swampert can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. It can also learn any attack that its pre-evolutions can learn, albeit stronger.

===Behavior===
If Swampert senses a storm approaching, it will protect its seaside nest by piling up boulders. Swampert batters down its foes with a swing of its thick, rock-hard arms. It is territorial and protects its family as much as possible.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Swampert and its evolution family probably live in swamps or other wetlands. Its Pokédex description for FireRed and LeafGreen state that they make nests on beautiful beaches.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
There is a good chance that Swampert eats other Pokémon that live in the swamp lands, like Feebas and Barboach. The parent Swampert of a family may be the ones who hunt, and deliver for their entire family.

==In the anime==
[[File:Tommy Swampert.png|right|thumb|230px|Swampert in the anime]]
Swampert first appeared in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship]]''. It evolved from a Marshtomp that was living in an abandoned ship ever since it was separated from its trainer [[Tommy (Hoenn)|Tommy]]. Since then, it has believed that Tommy abandoned him. When {{Ash}} and his {{AP|friends}} arrived on the abandoned ship and run into Tommy, they started to get slowly captured by Swampert and trapped in the webbing of his {{P|Spinarak}} partner until only Ash, Brock, Tommy, and Pikachu were left. After getting Swampert to remember and tell him that what happened when the ship got caught in the storm wasn't his fault, Tommy ended up reuniting with Swampert.

[[Morrison]] introduced his Swampert to Ash and friends in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

{{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} used his Swampert and {{p|Arcanine}} to battle against [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Swellow}} in a [[double battle]] in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]''.

A Swampert was shown under the ownership of {{ga|Brendan}} in his cameo appearance in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. This is to keep in theme with the games of the rival's starter Pokémon having a type-advantage over the player's starter Pokémon (in this case, [[May's Blaziken]]).

A Swampert appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' as one of Pokémon Hunter [[J]]'s captured Pokémon.

A Swampert is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Swampert appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' where it had an antagonistic role.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Ruby}}'s [[Zuzu|Marshtomp]] evolved into Swampert from its concussive battles throughout the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. With its increased strength and knowledge of the moves {{m|Muddy Water}} and the previously known {{m|Earthquake}}, it proved to be a formidable battler and driving force of the double team of the boy and {{adv|Sapphire}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. It also appeared on Ruby's active team in the {{chap|Emerald}}, but didn't participate in the battle with [[Emerald's Sceptile]].

==Trivia==
* Swampert has the highest [[base stat]] total of all the starter evolutions.
* Swampert, and its pre-evolution {{p|Marshtomp}}, is the only starter-type to have a 4× weakness against another {{t|Grass|starter type}}.
* Swampert is the only fully evolved {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon that does not learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level up as of [[Generation V]], although it can learn it as {{p|Mudkip}} before evolving.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Marshtomp}}, Swampert is based on the {{wp|mudpuppy}}, {{wp|axolotl}}, or {{wp|mudskipper}}.

====Name origin====
Swampert's name is probably derived from ''{{wp|swamp}}'' and ''rampart'', ''expert'' or ''inert''. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of ''{{wp|lagoon}}'' and ''large'', referring to its size. It may also contain ''{{wp|lag}}'', as in "Lagging behind", due to its size and weight.

[[File:WFC.png|thumb|The Wobbuffet Festival Crashers]]
The '''Wobbuffet Festival crashers''' are characters of the day in the episode ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza]]''. Individually in Japanese, they are known as '''ツヨシ''' ''Tsuyoshi'', '''テツヤ''' ''Tetsuya'', and '''ヒサシ''' ''Hisashi''. Their individual names in English are unknown, but they still have their original names as seen in the closed captioning of the episode.

The male trio train {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon. They previously attacked the [[Wobbuffet Village]] where they used their Pokémon to attack the village in order to build up their strength. They were repelled by [[Lulu (Johto)|Lulu]] and her Wobbuffet. One year later, the three boys attacked many innocent {{p|Wobbuffet}} during the [[Wobbuffet Festival]]. Even though Pokémon battles are not allowed during the Festival, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} drove the trio out of the village with unexpected help from [[Team Rocket]].

They each seem to resemble the Pokémon they use in both stature and hair style (the one with {{p|Hitmonlee}} having rounded hair, for example).

In a flashback told by [[Nario]] it is shown last year when the Wobbuffet Festival crashers came and started to destroy the festival, they underestimated [[Lulu]]'s Wobbuffet. It used {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} to send them running.

When battling {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Chikorita}}, it went in for a {{m|Rolling Kick}}, Chikorita was about to use {{m|Vine Whip}} when [[Officer Jenny]] stops them. They could not battle so they decided to take down the statue. They were stopped by [[Team Rocket]] and they decided to have a battle. [[Jessie's Arbok]] hit it badly with a {{m|Tackle}}, and it defeated Arbok with a {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. But in the end they were defeated by [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]].

Hitmonlee's known moves are {{m|Rolling Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}} and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}.}}

'''Luna''' (Japanese: '''ルナ''' ''Luna'') is the [[character of the day]] in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]''.

Luna is a wealthy little girl and was causing trouble in a city with her {{p|Scizor}}. Her Scizor remained hidden in a cape so no one knew what it exactly was. She gave it the alias ''Red Lightning'' (Japanese: '''赤いイナズマ'''). She also put a small radio around its neck to make it appear like it was talking, causing further confusion to whether Red Lightning was human or Pokémon. She used a microphone on her laptop to provide Red Lightning's voice.

Soon Red Lightning crossed paths with {{an|May}} and her [[May's Wartortle|Squirtle]]. Squirtle was easily defeated with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack.
[[File:Luna younger.png|thumb|left|Younger Luna and her Scyther]]
With the help of [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Transportation|balloon]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} were able to track down Red Lightning and discover Luna's antics. Ash then challenges Luna to a [[Pokémon battle]]. First he chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Red Lightning. When Ash realizes that he'll need a Pokémon who can scale buildings, he calls back Pikachu and sends out {{AP|Sceptile}}. Everyone soon finds out that Luna was using the wind to make it appear that Scizor was flying. Sceptile then copies Scizor's technique. During the battle, Scizor begins to fall but Sceptile saves it.

Luna's butler then explained to them that Luna only did what she did because she was lonely. Her parents were always on business and spent very little time with her. All she had was him and her Scizor. Then May starts to relate to her and says that she sometimes misses her parents while she's on her journey.

Soon, May challenges Luna to a battle with her Squirtle. This time around, Squirtle is the victor.

After the battle, Luna promises not to cause trouble anymore. But she made May promise her that she would come visit her again someday.

Sometime after evolution, it caused trouble in the city and defeated many Pokémon by disguising itself as Red Lightning and was given the name. Every Pokémon that got defeated by Red Lightning, it got marked on. After Ash's {{AP|Sceptile}} battled Red Lightning, Red Lightning revealed itself to be a Scizor belonging to a girl named Luna. After Luna explained everything about herself and Scizor, Scizor then had a rematch against May's Squirtle and lost. Luna then promised to not misbehave anymore.

Red Lightning's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Swift}}.}}

'''Gligar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グライガー''' ''Gliger'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gliscor}} when [[level]]ed up, at [[Time|night]], holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gligar is a small, purple, bat-like Pokémon. It has blue wings, which are similar in function to a {{wp|flying squirrel}}'s, and have pointed claws at the edges of the membranes. Gligar has pincers on its forelegs, and a segmented, insectoid tail with a stinger on the end. Gligar has short hind legs, and feet that appear segmented with a large, single claw each. Additionally, Gligar has long, pointed ears and triangle-shaped eyes, fangs and a large tongue which is often seen out of its mouth. Gligar could be considered a cousin of {{p|Skorupi}} due to its scorpion-like traits; however, it shares some bat-like traits as well, making it similar to {{p|Zubat}}. There is confusion whether the claws on a Gligar's wings and feet are white or purple, since the artwork has differed this way between and even during generations. However, the official artwork from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} depicts Gligar with purple claws, the same purple as its body.

====Gender differences====
A female Gligar has a smaller stinger.

====Special abilities====
Gligar knows a small handful of {{t|poison}}ous attacks, such as {{m|Poison Sting}} and the rarely known {{m|Cross Poison}}. Gligar can also use a few {{type2|Bug}} moves, like {{m|Fury Cutter}} and {{m|U-turn}}. While Gligar can learn {{t|Ground}} and {{type2|Rock}} moves typical to a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, its abilities as a {{type2|Flying}} are limited. Most notable is the fact that Gligar cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.

Also, Gligar and its evolved form {{p|Gliscor}} are two out of three Pokémon that are both Flying and Ground, which gives them an immunity to both {{type2|Electric}} and Ground [[move]]s. This trait is shared only with {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Baltoy}}, and {{p|Claydol}} due to the {{a|Levitate}} [[ability]], and {{p|Landorus}}, who has the same type combination.

As shown in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', Gligar, along with its evolved form {{p|Gliscor}}, can {{wp|Animal echolocation|emit sound waves}} to detect obstacles and fly around them.

===Behavior===
Flying straight at the foe’s face, it startles them by clamping on with its clawed hind legs and the pincers on its forelegs, before jabbing with its poison stinger. Gligar also tend to ambush prey as it passes by below. When it is done gliding, it hops along the ground back to its nest.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Gligar live in mountainous regions, making their nests along cliff sides. It also prefers hot arid environments, but doesn't mind forests either.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
 
Gligar are carnivorous.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Gligar.png|thumb|right|220px|{{AP|Gligar}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Gliscor|Ash's Gligar]]====
A group of Gligar, along with a {{p|Gliscor}}, was featured in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''. One of the Gligar was captured by {{Ash}}, while the {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} was captured by [[Paul]]. Ash's Gligar later evolved in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''.

====Other====
Gligar debuted in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''. It was owned by a superhero named [[Mr. Parker|Gligarman]], and later by [[Latoya Parker|his daughter]] when he retired from crime-fighting.

===Minor appearances===
[[Morrison]]'s Gligar first appeared in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

A Gligar appeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
A Gligar appeared in {{PAV|9}} that stole {{adv|Gold}}'s {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|egg}}. With its {{m|Poison Sting}}, it felled both [[Aibo]] and [[Polibo]], then a {{p|Poliwag}}, before being caught by Sudobo, Gold's {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and then attacked by [[Exbo]], and Gold's {{p|Sunkern}}, Sunbo, as it tried to escape. It was then beaten by the newly hatched {{p|Togepi}} it tried to eat, waking Gold in the process.

==Trivia==
* Although Gligar was unable to learn {{m|Earthquake}} by [[TM]] in [[Generation II]], a Gligar that knew Earthquake was a reward in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] for beating the {{ga|Silver|rival}} in Round 2.
* Gligar's colors vary between {{pkmn|games}} and the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is light blue-violet in most sprite artwork and game artwork, dark pink in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, blue-purple in {{v2|Platinum}}, regular purple in the high-grade console games such as [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], and powder-pink in the anime and in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Gligar is heavier than its evolution at 142.9 lbs to {{p|Gliscor}}'s 93.7 lbs.
* Gligar is one of twelve non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
*Gligar is one of four Pokémon immune to one of its own types without the aid of an ability. It shares this trait with {{p|Gliscor}}, {{p|Stunfisk}} and {{p|Landorus}}.

'''The Superhero Secret''' (Japanese: '''なぞのスーパーヒーロー！グライガーマンとうじょう！！''' ''Mysterious Superhero! Gligerman Enters!!'') is the 138th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 9, 2000 and in the United States on February 17, 2001.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
This episode finds {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|friends]] passing through a forest on their way to the [[Azalea Gym]] to try and win Ash's next [[Johto League]] [[badge]]. The group hears a strange noise in the vicinity, and seconds later observe an unbelievably quick Pokémon (which {{an|Brock}} claims to be a {{p|Gligar}}) jumping from tree-to-tree before vanishing from sight.

As group continues on their way Ash uses his [[Pokédex]] to bring up information on Gligar while {{an|Misty}} and Brock discuss the Pokémon, the latter explaining that they are said to be temperamental and dislike humans. Upon hearing this Ash jumps in, expressing confidence that any Gligar they came across would like him.

As Ash begins calling out to Gligar the road underneath the companions suddenly collapses and they fall into - what else? - a large hole. As Ash wonders aloud how it got there, the previously concealed [[Team Rocket]] take their cue and recite the [[Team Rocket's motto|motto]] while simultaneously placing a bamboo grate over the hole and wheeling over a two-man pump and attached hose. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] operate the pump while {{MTR}} aims a torrent of water into the hole, explaining that they plan to fill it with water and steal {{AP|Pikachu}} when it floats to the top, leaving Ash, Misty and Brock trapped.

It looks like the friends are in trouble as Pikachu can't attack for fear of electrocuting them as well. Then a familiar silhouette appears in front of the sun and breaks through the bamboo grate over the hole. A Gligar then leaps from the hole with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} in its arms. A deep, echoing laugh is heard from the trees and a man dressed like a Gligar appears next to Gligar on a tree and tells Team Rocket to release the trio. Confused Team Rocket and the heroes ask who this masked man is. The man bursts into his own motto and introduces himself as '[[Mr. Parker|Gligarman]]'.
[[Jessie]] and [[James]] comment that they have never heard of him which embarrasses Gligarman, Meowth then asks why Gligarman is wearing long underwear which embarrasses the Gligarman further. As Gligarman defends his choice of clothing Jessie, James and Meowth continue to question whether the masked man really is a superhero. Misty says that because he saved Togepi he may really be a superhero. Pleased that someone has faith in him Gligarman sends Gligar to dispense of Team Rocket.

Gligar attaches itself to Jessie's face. As James and Meowth attempt to get it off they are mistakenly being attacked by Jessie's thrashing around! James gets Jessie to stand still but is then confronted by Gligar's dangerous tail stinger. The intimidated James sends Meowth in to attack it. Meowth attacks with his {{m|Fury Swipes}} but Gligar jumps away and Meowth lands a swipe right across Jessie's face and Jessie instantly responds by giving Meowth her version of Fury Swipes. Gligar attacks again and chases Team Rocket away screaming.

Gligarman triumphantly announces victory over evil and attempts to jump down off his tree to hand Togepi back to Misty. Misjudging the height of the jump and his own physical abilities, Gligarman begins to tumble in mid-air before crashing to the ground but managing to keep Togepi from harm. Gligarman jumps up quickly and gives Togepi back to Misty before leaping onto a motorcycle hidden by a bush. Gligarman tells Ash, Misty and Brock that if evil-doers trouble them again all they have to do is blow on a whistle he hands them and he will be by their side. He then calls Gligar and they speed off on the bike back towards a city in the distance.

The trio stand there bewildered and look at the whistle. They hear a female voice call out to them and a young woman on a bicycle stops and asks if they saw Gligarman around. Telling her that Gligarman was there just seconds ago, the woman looks down and says she hopes he didn't cause to much trouble. Misty tells the girl that in fact Gligarman saved her Togepi. The girl is relieved and Brock starts making his trademark moves. The girl introduces herself as [[Latoya]] before Misty pulls Brock away. Ash asks why Latoya is interested in Gligarman and asks if he really is a superhero. Latoya says that he sometimes believes he is a real superhero. This prompts Ash to ask keenly if Latoya knows Gligarman's true identity. Latoya hastily rides away saying that she has probably already said too much.
Ash notes that she appears to be hiding something and goes on to say that whether he is a superhero or not he must be a super {{pkmn|Trainer}} for his ability to handle the Gligar.

The trio arrive in front of a store selling Gligarman merchandise where they are told that Gligarman is huge in the city before being ushered inside. There they find Latoya behind the counter of the shop. Ash tells Latoya he wants to know more about Gligarman, then Latoya's father appears telling Ash he knows everything there is to know about Gligarman. The man then shows them an old looking video of Gligarman in which he and Gligar defeat a giant insectoid monster. Ash asks why the Gligarman in the video looked different from the Gligarman they saw. Latoya's father responds by telling them the video was made several years ago and quickly hands the three Gligarman merchandise to change the subject. Togepi seems to have a liking for Latoya's father and Misty says that she thinks he may be the Gligarman. Latoya's father says that Misty's theory is ridiculous and refers to her by name before Misty points out that Gligarman is the only person in the town that knows her name. Ash and Brock bombard him with questions, but Mr. Parker is adamant that they never reveal his secret. Meanwhile outside Team Rocket have been watching the whole scene though binoculars and hatch a plan to unmask Latoya's father.

Latoya and her father take Ash, Misty and Brock to the Gligar Mansion and Latoya reveals that Gligarman began because her father wasn't selling enough toys at his store. He invented Gligarman and made up stories to make it seem real and one day he just became the real Gligarman because it was more fulfilling than just being a businessman. Latoya's father says he will never stop being Gligarman because people needed someone like him around.

The group then step into Gligarman's extremely hi-tech laboratory where Gligar is relaxing. Latoya and her father then offer Ash the job of replacing Latoya's father as Gligarman. Ash graciously turns it down because of his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master. Brock offers to take care of everything if he marries Latoya but Latoya brushes off Brock's remarks as a joke which crushes Brock. An alert sounds in the lab and TV screens show that Team Rocket are attacking Gligarman's store.

Gligarman and Ash arrive as Jessie in a supervillian costume and James and Meowth, dressed in {{p|Metapod}} costumes are tying up the store workers and dressing them as Metapod. Gligar attacks James and attaches itself to his face. Jessie and Meowth look on and Jessie tells Meowth to bring out the 'big bug'. Meowth returns in a {{p|Spinarak}} robot and wraps up Gligarman and Ash in a web. Meowth hangs them up in the middle of town with civilians everywhere and Jessie laughs and announces they will unmask Gligarman in front of everyone. The store workers run out and yell that they have faith in Mr. Parker. Gligarman realizes that they knew his identity all along. A voice from on top of a building is heard and the camera pans up to see a female dressed like a Gligar. She introduces herself as Gligirl. Gligirl asks for assistance from Gligar who is reluctant at first. Gligar then recognizes that Gligirl is Latoya and flies to her. Gligirl tells Gligar to cut Gligarman and Ash free from the web. Pikachu runs around underneath the Spinarak machine which causes Meowth to get its legs tangled. Gligar and Pikachu then work together and a Pikachu {{m|Thunderbolt}} causes the machine to malfunction before it blows up and sends Team Rocket flying. The town celebrates the victory of Gligirl with Brock still oblivious to the fact Gligirl was Latoya.

Mr. Parker and Latoya are saying their goodbyes to Ash and co. before having a small argument over who would be Gligar's owner. Brock then states he's figured out that Latoya is Gligirl. The heroes say goodbye and continue on their way to Azalea's Gym.

Mr. Parker

[[Image:EP138.png|thumb|200px|Mr. Parker as Gligarman with his Gligar.]]
'''Mr. Parker''' (Japanese: '''ナガイ''' ''Nagai'') is a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''.

Mr. Parker owns and operates a toy store located in a town somewhere between the [[Charicific Valley]] and [[Azalea Town]], and is best known by his superhero pseudonym '''Gligarman''' (Japanese: '''グライガーマン''' ''Gligerman'').

The character of Gligarman was invented by Mr. Parker so he could build up business for his shop. By acting as Gligarman, and then creating figurines, toys, and other merchandise items he was able to sell these to the people living in his town who had grown fond of their local superhero. To help fight crime, Mr. Parker (as Gligarman) uses his Pokémon {{p|Gligar}} and his "Gligar Cycle". Reminiscent of other, real-world superheroes, Mr. Parker has a secret hideout—the Gligarcave—hidden under his mansion. Although once extremely in shape, Gligarman's age has caught up with him and he has become noticeably more tubby. This has led to difficulties in acting as Gligarman.

Mr. Parker was first shown in his Gligarman costume and, without revealing his true identity, he helped to save {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} from [[Team Rocket]]. {{Ash}} and friends later encounter him in his toy shop, and Mr. Parker has to try and hide his identity. Togepi's liking for the shop owner hints that they may have encountered previously, and Mr. Parker almost gives the game away by using Misty's name. After some probing questions, Mr. Parker and his daughter, [[Latoya Parker|Latoya]] confess and take the trio back to their mansion. It is here revealed that Mr. Parker's declining fitness is forcing him to retire. He has Ash in mind as his replacement, but following another intervention by Team Rocket a new masked figure saves the day: Gligirl, who is actually Latoya. The town has a new hero now, and Gligarman is able to hang up his cape and return to his ordinary life as Mr. Parker.

It later appeared in the Gligarcave welcoming Ash and his friends including [[Latoya Parker|Latoya]]. Suddenly they find Team Rocket in the building capturing the staff with [[James]] and {{TR|Meowth}} dressed up as the Metapod Men. They quickly go upstairs and confront Team Rocket, Gligar is able to stop James, but Jessie and Meowth run off to their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Spinarak mecha]].

After Gligirl appears, she orders Gligar to free Mr. Parker, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} which it successfully does and with the help of Pikachu are able to send Team Rocket blasting off. In the end Latoya and Mr. Parker have a small argument over who is the owner Gligar before saying goodbye to Ash and his friends.

==Trivia==
* Unlike regular Gligar in the anime, Gligarman's costume is colored as Gligar are in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* Gligarman was obviously intended to be a parody of {{wp|Batman}}. His real name, Mr. Parker, may reference Peter Parker (whose secret identity is the superhero {{wp|Spider-Man}}).

Mr. Evans

{{MissingInfo|1|enva}}
'''Mr. Evans''' (Japanese: '''アキト''' ''Akito'') is a [[character of the day]] from the [[Pokémon anime]]. His Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''.

He appeared in ''[[EP177|Wings 'n Things]]''. His son, [[Zachary Evans|Zachary]], was making the town angry because his {{p|Yanma}} was breaking the windows of all the stores in town including the ones owned by the town baker [[Mr. Strussel]]. Knowing how much Yanma meant to Zachary, Mr. Evans told his son that he had to get rid of the Pokémon. Reluctantly, Zachary released it.

Upon Zachary saving the town from [[Team Rocket]], Mr. Evans and the rest of the town recognized that Zachary had the potential to train Yanma, and they allowed him to keep it.

Nastina

Rtkat3:

[[Image:Nastina.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Nastina]]

'''Nastina''' (Japanese: '''オババ''' ''hag'') is a [[character of the day]] in the [[Pokémon anime]]. Her Japanese voice actress is ''[[Chika Sakamoto]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

Nastina's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''. In that episode, she wanted to build a hotel/themepark in [[Porta Vista]]. However, it was destroying the habitat of the {{p|Tentacool}} that lived there. After hiring [[Team Rocket]] to get rid of the jellyfish Pokémon, the plan went wrong. One of the Tentacool evolved into a {{p|Tentacruel}} and grew to {{pkmn2|giant|an enormous size}}.

The {{p|Tentacruel}} began destroying the city, as well as Nastina's hotel. {{an|Misty}} was able to convince Tentacruel to stop attacking the city, and the Tentacruel sent Nastina (after she tried bargaining for it to be in on of her theme park's shows) flying.

Nastina at first glance seems like a loud old lady. But she is willing to do anything in order to get what she wants. She put on military clothes and was shooting at the {{p|Tentacruel}} that was destroying her town.

Nastina has a habit of posing and has hired many men in speedos to pose with her, and work as her servants/minions. She also has a habit of asking people when she offers a reward, "Isn't Nastina generous?"

Nastina is [[Brutella]]'s cousin when she is sent flying into Brutella when she was rebuilding her restaurant.

Nastina's name is a combination of nasty and the common ending of a female name ''ina''. Nastina is not given an actual name in Japanese, and is simply referred to as a "hag".

A running joke in the Japanese version is that Nastina is often mistaken for [[Brutella]]. This was edited out of the dubbed version, as [[EP018|the episode of Brutella's appearance]] was skipped over.

== Trivia ==
* The {{wp|assault rifle}} Nastina is seen shooting at one point in the episode is likely a {{wp|FN FAL}}.

Band of Diglett thieves

[[Image:Diglett_Thief.jpg|thumb|right|Diglett Thief leader]]
[[Image:Thief_Unmasked.jpg|thumb|right|The leader unmasked]]
The '''Band of Diglett thieves''' (Japanese: '''ディグダ泥棒団''' ''Gang of {{tt|Digda|Diglett}} thieves'') are [[character of the day|characters of the day]] who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. Their leader is voiced by [[Dan Green]] in the English version and by 大川透 ''Toru Ohkawa'' in the Japanese Version. Various voice actors voiced the other members.

==Bio==
They appeared in ''[[EP218|Plant it Now...Diglett Later!]]''. Riding on {{p|Dodrio}}, they claimed that they were going to steal all the {{p|Diglett}} that were owned by the townspeople in [[Diglett Village]]. {{Ash}} was upset at this, but the townspeople were unconcerned.

Joining forces with [[Team Rocket]], the {{Ashfr|gang}} decided to spy on the thieves in their home village while trying to incapacitate their Dodrio. While doing so, they learned that they were the grandchildren of the Diglett Village residents when they were caught by surprise by [[Rita and Sue]] and spotted by their leader (who was the father of Rita and Sue and the mayor of that town). They weren't going to steal the Diglett, but rather use it as an opportunity to check up on their family members. Evidently a yearly occurrence, the Band of Diglett thieves saw it as an opportunity for their grandparents to get up and exercise.

The "Diglett Thieves" agreed not to ride in on the Dodrio. During the charade, Ash and his friends used their Pokémon to help fight them ranging from using electric-proof helmets, hoses to counter fire attacks, umbrellas to counter water attacks, and headphones to keep them from being hit by sound attacks. Most of them ended up in pitfall traps that were dug up by Team Rocket and the elderly townspeople.

After the charade was finished, Ash and the others promised to keep the secret of the Band of Diglett thieves.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
The stars illuminate the sky as the startling cries of a {{p|Bonsly}} can be heard all around. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the gang}} are enjoying a relaxing picnic under the sun while {{an|May}} polishes her egg. With that original fury overtaking the scene, Ash is ready to take on any adventure as {{AP|Pikachu}} shows the same enthusiasm.

A practice battle between Pikachu and {{AP|Donphan}} is about to begin, with Pikachu starting off with an electrifying {{m|Volt Tackle}}. The attack clashes into Donphan, but only after a few seconds of resistance, the attack is negated and Pikachu flies backwards. Donphan starts into a {{m|Rollout}} attack, hurtling towards Ash and Pikachu. They manage to dodge the attack, Donphan colliding with a nearby rock structure and revealing a hidden boy and his {{p|Ninjask}}.

The boy introduces himself as [[Evian]], explaining that he is from the Pokémon Ninja School. They are then lead through the nearby forest to the ninja school which is flourishing with young students and exuberant Pokémon. The students try to explain to their teacher [[Angela]] what they saw the night before involving the Bonsly. One of the boys looked out a window the night before, noticing fast movements through the forest and just seconds later hearing the screams and cries of Bonsly. Interrupting their conversation, Brock jumps towards the instructor, with clasping arms to meet just only a few seconds later, a substitution of herself with a log with similar clothing. She then reveals herself in a nearby treetop with all the students being amazed with her actions.

Nearby, [[Team Rocket]] is spying on the Ninja School with [[Jessie]] suggesting they become students of the school and become ninjas to ultimately capture Pikachu. Meanwhile, Ash and gang are in a training exercise involving underwater submersion while breathing through a bamboo stick. The underwater lesson then ends and transitions over to a stealth activity with each student trying to mask their position. [[Max]] secretly masks himself behind a tree as Ash and Pikachu attempt to hide underneath the ground but soon after reveal their location. The next lesson begins with Angela's {{p|Kecleon}} which camouflages itself and dashes off into the underbrush with the students to attempt and try to find its location. Ash and the young boy begin down a trail as he spots the Kecleon. His Ninjask then begins a {{m|Whirlwind}} which sends a burst of sand towards the forest and temporarily reveals the Kecleon. He then jumps towards it but comes to meet the ground. Ash then tries his chance at it directing Pikachu to launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack towards the general direction but the attack comes to miss as the Kecleon snatches [[Ash's hat]] and begins up a nearby tree.

Ash and Pikachu dash for the stolen hat but come only to make direct contact with the tree. Another student of the school notices movement nearby and moves to reveal the Bonsly. The Bonsly then begins crying uncontrollably as {{an|Brock}} begins to calm it down. Ash goes to look up its data in his [[Pokédex]]. The three students that noticed the Bonsly the night before rush towards Brock and start arguing, which causes Bonsly to start crying again. Brock then grabs a berry off a nearby tree and attempts to feed it to Bonsly, but it only knocks the berry from out his hand. Brock then attempts to feed Bonsly with a bottle as it then begins devouring the food.

Bonsly finishes the food and then starts to cry again. A metallic projectile hurtles towards the ground and makes contact to reveal a single solitary rose. Team Rocket's voice can then be heard from the background setting the usual Rocket theme. Team Rocket is dressed in ninja attire and mysterious masks. Ash quickly sees through their disguises to reveal them as Team Rocket. With a quick phrase, {{MTR}} then controls the new mecha, which then shoots a sticky fluid from its arms as the mecha begins to hoist the Pokémon into the air. Angela then calls upon her {{p|Shiftry}} as it dashes towards the sky and collides with the mecha, sending it hurtling towards the ground at great speed. With great haste, Ash, Brock, and {{an|May}} then call upon {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{AP|Grovyle}}, and {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Grovyle dashes towards Team Rocket and cuts the restraints, releasing the captured Pokémon. Shiftry then clashes with the ground which sends a tremor throughout the ground and towards Team Rocket. Combusken then launches a ferocious {{m|Flamethrower}} towards Team Rocket which leaves them charred. It's now Marshtomp's turn which sends a {{m|Hydro Pump}} towards Team Rocket and releases them from their position in the treetops. {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} is then released from its [[Poké Ball]] as it masks the area with a thick {{m|Haze}}.

Jessie then dashes through the air and comes down with her net. After the smoke and dust clears, Angela goes to reveal that Jessie has only captured a substitution. With a new strange technique, Jessie then begins to run around uncontrollably creating many clones of herself. Angela laughs at Jessie's effort as she directs Shiftry with a simple phrase. Shiftry then starts off with a {{m|Double Team}} and then creates a Whirlwind effect rotating Team Rocket at a high speed. {{p|Ariados}} then entangles Team Rocket with its sticky web as a gigantic ball of web is formed with Team Rocket captured inside. As everyone moves into the attack stance, Team Rocket roll off into the distance and off a nearby cliff.

Brock begins to show is affection of love for Angela again as Bonsly then jumps and knocks Brock backwards. Brock then goes to battle for and attempt to capture the wild Bonsly. Bonsly begins to {{m|Fake Tears|cry}} once again distracting Brock and {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}, as Bonsly begins on the attack colliding with Forretress and knocking him backwards. Forretress then begins with its {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, colliding with Bonsly and knocking it temporarily unconscious. Forretress then uses its {{m|Spikes}} attack and launches a barrage of tiny spikes around Bonsly. Brock goes to throw a Poké Ball towards Bonsly as the ball begins to rumble, Bonsly explodes from the Poké Ball and back towards the ground. Bonsly begins to fall backwards and makes contact with one of the nearby spikes which sends it flying upwards as Brock then attempts to capture Bonsly once more. As the Poké Ball rumbles, everyone waits with anticipation with the capture of Bonsly. The ball finally finishes its struggle with Bonsly as that notorious capture sound is heard throughout the air.

Bonsly begins to cry more and more as Brock tries to feed it. With Brock's newly obtained Bonsly, the sun sets as our heroes march off into the distance.

== Trivia ==
* The ninja outfits worn by the characters at the ninja school are similar to those worn by [[Koga]] and [[Aya]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''.
** Coincidentally, in next episode Ash and friends are in Fuchsia city, where (in games) is located Koga's gym. This suggest his gym might be located closely to ninja school from this episode.
* This episode marks the first (and so far, only) time Brock is shown capturing a Pokémon through the standard method by battling it first ({{TP|Brock|Onix}} was Brock's [[starter Pokémon]], the circumstances of {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}'s capture has yet to be shown, {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} was caught off-screen, {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} was given to him, {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} was caught in a [[Fast Ball]] while running away, {{TP|Brock|Lotad|Ludicolo}}, {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} all chose to go with him and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}).

=== Errors ===
* When {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} escapes from the [[Poké Ball]], it emerges as red energy rather than the usual white.

Tommy (EP034)

2010-02-21T19:22:03Z

Rtkat3:

[[image:EP034_-_Tomo2.jpg|thumb|200px|Tomo]]
'''Tommy''' (Japanese: '''タロウ''' ''Tarō'') also known as '''Tomo''' (Japanese: '''ターサン''' ''Tarsan'') is a little boy who lives in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and was raised by {{p|Kangaskhan}}.

==In the anime==
Tommy is the [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]''. His English voice actor is [[Jimmy Zoppi]] and his Japanese voice actress is くまいもとこ ''[[Motoko Kumai]]''.

{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] were traveling through the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] when [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal a herd of Kangaskhan living on a preserve area of the park. A feral boy freed the captured Kangaskhan with his boomerang, and led them in action against Team Rocket.

Later, a rich couple arrived in a helicopter and explained they were looking for their son Tommy who had been missing for five years. The family was flying over the Safari Zone when the father held their child outside the window of the copter to give him a better look and dropped him. The couple showed [[Officer Jenny]] a picture of their boy, and she recognized him as Tomo - the feral boy who protects the Kangaskhan.

Brock tried to help an injured baby Kangaskhan and Tommy attacked Brock with his boomerang. Tommy's human [[Tommy's parents|parents]] tried to explain who they are, but Tommy insisted that the Kangaskhan have always been his real parents. Tommy's father knocked him unconscious and the boy remembered his past.

Team Rocket tried to steal the Kangaskhan again with a giant robot, but Tommy's parents crashed their helicopter into the robot to destroy it. Tommy's parents emerged from the rubble, however, and announced that they planned to live in the Safari Zone with Tommy and the Kangaskhan herd.

==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga==
Tommy also makes an appearance in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.

{{AP|Pikachu}} had accidentally gotten separated from Ash. Pikachu met up with two abandoned Pokémon: {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Charmander}}. Pikachu had heard Ash talking about finding the [[Hidden Village]]. Squirtle and Charmander also sought the village.

Along the way, Tommy, a boy with a boomerang, greeted them. Tommy was able to speak Pokémon language and introduced them to his mother, a playful Kangaskhan. Kangaskhan explained how she had found Tommy abandoned and raised him.

Kangaskhan and Tommy knew where the Hidden Village, the Pokémon Paradise, was located - and agreed to lead the three lost Pokémon there. After a while, they stumbled upon {{MTR}} of Team Rocket. Meowth introduced them to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and Tommy tried to ride around in Jessie's "pouch" (or possibly to drink milk from her breasts in the original version).

Jessie and James convinced them to take them along with them to the Hidden Village, acting like they wanted to live a quiet life in the mountains.

After a series of adventures which included a quick stop at the [[Fuchsia City]] [[Fuchsia Gym|Gym]] - the strange band finally reached the Hidden Valley.

[[Melanie]] explained to Tommy that humans don't have pouches. Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon in the Hidden Village, but a {{m|Mega Kick}} from Kangaskhan sent them packing.

Everyone parted ways, and Kangaskhan and Tommy were still in the Hidden Village with Squirtle, the last Pikachu saw of them.

'''Butler''' (Japanese: '''バトラー''' ''Butler'') is a former [[Team Magma]] scientist and a magician.

==In the anime==
Butler was fired from working with Team Magma because an experiment to create a {{p|Groudon}} from a fossilized remnant of it had failed. He realized that he needed a stronger energy source for the regeneration process. The power that he sought was only available once in a millennium. Butler and his girlfriend, [[Diane]] found the crystallized "cocoon" of {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} in [[Forina]].

When {{Ash}}, [[Brock]], {{an|May}} and [[Max]] found Butler at the Millennium Festival, Butler presented Jirachi to Max because Max was supposedly the friend that Jirachi needed to find so it can awaken when the Millennium Comet comes.

When Jirachi awoken from its thousand-year sleep, Butler set up his machine and gave it a test-run a night later. Diane informed Ash and the gang what Butler was up to and decided to take Jirachi back home. Butler had his Mightyena place a tracking device on Diane's van.

When Jirachi was sent home and was about to go back to sleep for another thousand years, Butler showed up out of nowhere and snatched Jirachi. Butler then used Jirachi's power in the hopes to create a Groudon from scratch. However, he wound up with a manifestation of pure evil that ''resembled'' {{p|Groudon}}.

When the false Groudon started sucking up every Pokémon in sight, Butler begged Ash and Max (everyone else was sucked up by the false Groudon) to forgive him and help him to set his machine in reverse to get rid of the big, red abomination. The plan was a success and the false Groudon was destroyed and everyone was released. After Jirachi finally went back to sleep, Butler and Diane decided to stay and protect the Pokémon of Forina.

While Butler's only major role was in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', he and Diane made a cameo during the ending-credits of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

His Japanese voice actor is ''[[Kōichi Yamadera]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Wayne Grayson]].

==In the games==
Butler makes a cameo appearance in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} on [[Route 229]] as an [[Cool Trainer|Ace Trainer]] using a level 55 Salamence and Dusclops. However this Easter egg was not recognized by the translation team, which named him '''Felix''' in Diamond and Pearl. His girlfriend Diane (named '''Dana''' by the translation team) is next to him and the two can be engaged in a double battle or battled alone. Dana uses Butler's other two Pokémon, Mightyena and Kirlia. Also when approached, Felix states "''Welcome to my Pokémon show!''".

Sumo Conference

2009-10-14T01:05:43Z

Rtkat3:

The '''Sumo Conference''' is an annual Pokémon Sumo tournament held annually in [[Rikishii Town]].

==History==
The prize is a [[King's Rock]] and a year's supply of [[Pokémon food]]. [[Pokémon]] entered in the competition must weigh {{tt|80kg|176.4 lbs}} or more. Only basic [[physical move]]s are allowed, and the goal is to eventually throw the opponent out of the sumo-ring. If the executive of the Sumo Conference (namely [[Shonosuke]]) is present and catches a law-breaking move that the referee didn't see, he will make a protest against the referee and reveal what law was broken. Then the referee will disqualify the law-breaking trainer.

When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} visited [[Rikishii Town]], the annual Pokémon Sumo Conference was taking place. Ash decided to enter the competition with his {{AP|Snorlax}}, and managed to win the competition.

==Competitors==
[[Image:Sumo Victory.png|thumb|right|220px|Ash and Snorlax celebrating their victory]]
===Winner===
* {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Snorlax}}

===Runners-up===
* [[Raiden]] and his {{p|Feraligatr}}

===Other Competitors===
* Many unnamed trainers and their [[Pokémon]], including; {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Golem}} & {{p|Machamp}}

===Disqualified===
* [[Jessie]] and her {{p|Wobbuffet}} (posing as {{p|Miltank}})

==Trivia==
*There were many Pokémon that entered the competition despite being under the minimum weight qualifications. However it could be that Pokémon have varying weights in the anime unlike the games.

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had. Scizor also has crab-like claws with eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has two-lobed wings like a butterfly.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature, however Scizor have been seen flying with wings in the [[Pokémon anime]].

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Scizor.jpg|thumb|right|220px|[[Minnie]]'s Scizor in action]]
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

[[Vicious]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{an|Celebi}} in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''.

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost despite it having the type advantage.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

It also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Scizor (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will fly around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of Scyther has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
[[Image:TheRedInazumaofSkyscraper.jpg|right|thumb|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}} and its [[Pokédex]] entries and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has a modified version of flying in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to get [[STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
* Scizor is one of the few Pokémon that have a color change every generation, it is dark red in [[Generation II]], red-orange in [[Generation III]], crimson in Diamond and Pearl, and back to dark red in Platinum.

==Origin==
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

===Name origin===
Scizor's name is a corruption of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}. Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''cisailles'' (hedge clippers), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had. Scizor also has crab-like claws with eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has two-lobed wings like a butterfly.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature, however Scizor have been seen flying with wings in the [[Pokémon anime]].

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Scizor.jpg|thumb|right|220px|[[Minnie]]'s Scizor in action]]
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

[[Vicious]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{an|Celebi}} in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''.

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost despite it having the type advantage.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

It also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

It has incredible attack and speed, and it's large scissor-like claws make it a formidable opponent. (Note: Scizor's actual classification is the Pincer Pokémon, not the Scissor Pokémon, as stated.)}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Scizor is first seen in {{PSV|9}} under the control of {{Special|Green}}, having evolved from his {{p|Scyther}} prior to the events of the volume. He brings it on his journey to the [[Sevii Islands]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Scizor (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will fly around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of Scyther has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
[[Image:TheRedInazumaofSkyscraper.jpg|right|thumb|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}} and its [[Pokédex]] entries and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has a modified version of flying in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them even when she was having it masquerade as '''Red Lightning'''.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to get [[STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
* Scizor is one of the few Pokémon that have a color change every generation, it is dark red in [[Generation II]], red-orange in [[Generation III]], crimson in Diamond and Pearl, and back to dark red in Platinum.

==Origin==
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

===Name origin===
Scizor's name is a corruption of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}. Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''cisailles'' (hedge clippers), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''

Dr. Yung

Rtkat3:

[[Image:Dr Yung.png|thumb|Dr. Yung|right]]
[[Image:Mirage Master.png|thumb|Yung as the Mirage Master|right]]
'''Dr. Yung''' (Japanese: '''ドクター・ユング''' ''Dr. Yung'') is a scientist from the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. He is voiced by 木内秀信 ''Hidenobu Kiuchi'' in Japanese, [[Billy Regan]] in English, and his Brazilian Portuguese voice actor is Nestor Chiesse.

{{spoiler}}
Dr. Yung invented the [[Mirage Pokémon]] system. He challenged [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] to a battle with it, but he was captured by the "Mirage Master" during the test.

Later, after the Mirage Master declared his Mirage {{p|Mewtwo}} to be the result of "many years of hard work", [[Professor Oak]] successfully unmasked him to be Dr. Yung. It was revealed that Yung had been a student at the Pokémon Institute when he invented the Mirage System, but he was expelled because his research was considered cruel, thus making him bitter and desiring revenge. He battled against the group using Mewtwo and easily took the upper hand, but with some timely help from the Mirage {{p|Mew}} that Yung had declared a "flawed specimen", [[Ash's Pikachu]] was able to defeat it using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

After being defeated, he escaped into his burning lab. Oak tried to pursue him, but falling iron blocked the entrance, and Yung was never seen again. It can be assumed that he is still at large, as [[Officer Jenny]] was unable to recover his body from the castle.

==Mirage Pokémon==
In the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', he used these mirage Pokémon:

==Trivia==
Considering the names he was given in Japanese, he may have been a play on {{wp|Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde}}. His name, and duality, might also be a reference to {{wp|Carl Jung}}.

Band of Diglett thieves

Rtkat3:

[[Image:Diglett_Thief.jpg|thumb|right|Diglett Thief leader]]
[[Image:Thief_Unmasked.jpg|thumb|right|The leader unmasked]]
The '''Band of Diglett thieves''' (Japanese: '''ディグダ泥棒団''' ''Gang of Digda thieves'') are [[character of the day|characters of the day]] who appeared in the {{g|anime}}. Their leader is voiced by [[Dan Green]] in the English version and by 大川透 ''Toru Ohkawa'' in the Japanese Version. Various voice actors voiced the other members.

==Bio==
They appeared in ''[[EP218|Plant it Now...Diglett Later!]]''. Riding on {{p|Dodrio}}, they claimed that they were going to steal all the {{p|Diglett}} that were owned by the townspeople in [[Diglett Village]]. {{Ash}} was upset at this, but the townspeople were unconcerned.

Joining forces with [[Team Rocket]], the {{Ashfr|gang}} decided to spy on the thieves in their home village while trying to incapacitate their Dodrio. While doing so, they learned that they were the grandchildren of the Diglett Village residents when they were caught by surprise by Rita and Sue and spotted by their leader (who was the father of [[Rita and Sue]] and the mayor of that town). They weren't going to steal the Diglett, but rather use it as an opportunity to check up on their family members. Evidently a yearly occurrence, the Band of Diglett thieves saw it as an opportunity for their grandparents to get up and exercise.

The "Diglett Thieves" agreed not to ride in on the Dodrio. During the charade, Ash and his friends used their Pokémon to help fight them ranging from using electric-proof helmets, hoses to counter fire attacks, umbrellas to counter water attacks, and headphones to keep them from being hit by sound attacks. Most of them ended up in pitfall traps that were dug up by Team Rocket and the elderly townspeople.

After the charade was finished, Ash and the others promised to keep the secret of the Band of Diglett thieves.

===Origin===
Hippowdon is based on a {{wp|hippopotamus}}.
====Name origin====
Hippowdon's name is derived from ''hippopotamus'', ''power'' or ''powder'' (as in sand), and the suffix ''-don'' which can be taken to mean "tooth" or "lord".
Kabarudon's name is derived from the Japanese word 河馬 ''kaba'', hippopotamus, which it is based on, and the aforementioned ''-don''.

[[Image:Mirage Master Unmasked.jpg|thumb|Yung as the Mirage Master, unmasked]]
'''Dr. Yung''' (Japanese: '''ドクター・ユング''' ''Dr. Yung'') is a scientist from the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

==Bio==
Dr. Yung invented the [[Mirage Pokémon]] system and posed as the '''Mirage Master''' (Japanese: '''ミスター・ミラージュ''' ''Mr. Mirage'') to try and create the ultimate Pokémon.

When it came to the truth about Mew being a "failed test subject," his identity is known by Professor Oak. After sheding his mask, Dr. Yung sicked the Mirage-Mewtwo on them. With unlikely help from Mirage-Mew, Mirage-Mewtwo.

After being defeated, he went into his burning lab and was never seen again as the police were unable to find his body. It can be assume that he's still out there somewhere.

Dr. Yung is voiced by [[Billy Regan]] in English, 木内秀信 ''Hidenobu Kiuchi'' in Japanese, while his Brazilian Portuguese voice actor is ''Nestor Chiesse''.
 

==Mirage Pokémon==
In the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', he used these mirage Pokémon:

==Trivia==
Considering the names he was given in Japanese, he may have been a play on {{wp|Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde}}. His name, and duality, might also be a reference to {{wp|Carl Jung}}.

'''Metang''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタング''' ''Metang'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Beldum}} starting at [[level]] 20, and evolves into {{p|Metagross}} starting at level 45.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metang is a robotic lifeform that has a disc-shaped body with a pair of appendages that resemble Beldum. It has two red eyes and a pointy nose. Even though Metang and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat and a way of reproducing. Metang has been said to be related to {{p|Magneton}} due to the fact that both of them are partially Steel-type that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air, and probably due to the fact that they evolve in a similar fashion, it takes two Beldum to evolve into a Metang and two Metang to evolve into a Metagross.
====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Metang's body is magnetised, and it uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks. It is said to be related to Magneton, but Metang's magnetism focuses on {{type2|Psychic}} moves instead of {{type2|Electric}} moves. Metang is capable of two rare {{type2|Steel}} moves, {{m|Bullet Punch}} and {{m|Meteor Mash}}. It can also use some Psychic-type moves such as {{m|Psychic}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Metang has a few {{t|Rock}}-type moves at its disposal, such as {{m|Rock Tomb}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}. A couple of anomalies in Metang's movepool include {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. Metang can also learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, despite being second in a 3-tiered evolution line.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Metang tend to live in areas with rough terrain, but they are even harder to find than Beldum (which is already very rare).

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Morrison_metang.jpg|thumb|right|[[Morrison's Metang]]]]
[[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolved into {{TP|Morrison|Metang}} during the [[Hoenn League]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

In ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', the Head Engineer owns a Metang.

==In the manga==
Each member of the Hoenn Elite Four (except [[Wallace]]) own a Metang. They use them to fly around Hoenn. [[Steven]]'s Metang, however, is something of a miner. It helps him locate and dig up rare stones in various caves.

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
*Although it is said that Metang is made up of two Beldum, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Beldum evolution, ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of fusing with another Beldum. Likewise, if a Metang evolution is shown, it is highly unlikely it would involve two Metang evolving together. This is similar to the games.
*Coincidentally, Metang's appearance is similar to the [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/msgundam/ma-05.htm Bigro] from Mobile Suit Gundam.
*Metang, as well as Beldum and Metagross, has been seen to be able to float in the air though {{wp|magnetism}}. However, it does not have the {{a|Levitate}} ability. It, along with Metagross, can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}} though.
*Metang's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 191. This makes it and its evolution family one of only three families of Pokémon (comprising ten Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.

===Origin===
Metang has the features of two Beldum merged together, along with a flying saucer-like rim with spikes jutting out. It is also similar to a {{wp|crab}}.

====Name origin====
Metang's name is a combination of ''metal'' and ''{{wp|angstrom}}''. It is also an anagram of ''{{wp|magnet}}''. A ''tang'' is also the part of a sword, knife, et al. that joins the base or handle and is an onomatopoeic sound of metal. Tang may also refer to {{wp|tangent}}, a trigonometric ratio, referring to its psychic typing.

'''Rhydon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイドン''' ''Sidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhyhorn}} starting at [[level]] 42, and evolves into {{p|Rhyperior}} by [[trade]] with [[Protector]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhydon is a large, gray dinosaur-like Pokémon. It has a long tail with skinny, black stripes. Rhydon has a cream-colored stomach and a ridged back. Rhydon has two horns on its head, with the one on the nose being a metal drill.
====Gender differences====
The female's drill-horn is smaller than the male's.

===Special abilities===
Rhydon's drill-horn is capable of crushing uncut diamonds and it can knock down a building with one strike of its tail. Rhydon's rocky hide is strong enough to withstand direct cannonball fire.

===Behavior===
Rhydon is apparently much smarter than its {{p2|Rhyhorn|pre-evolution}}, evidenced by its ability to stand on its hind-legs.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Rhydon are mainly found in cavernous areas.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:RiddleMeThis.gif|thumb|left|[[Blaine]] and his Rhydon.]]
A mechanical Rhydon appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' as a part of {{g|Land}}.

Rhydon's true debut episode was ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', under the ownership of one of the trainers at [[Kas Gym]].

Rhydon's first major role was in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', being one of [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon. Blaine used a Rhydon against {{Ash}} during the first battle for Ash's [[Volcano Badge]]. While normally tough against electric attacks, Rhydon was defeated when [[Ash's Pikachu]] struck Rhydon's horn, which acted like a lightning rod.
[[Image:Rhydon anime.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A construction worker's Rhydon from ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', just released from its Poké Ball.]]

[[Giovanni]] owns a Rhydon that he loaned to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A trainer named [[Assunta]] used one to battle [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''

A Rhydon belonging to [[Rudy]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

[[Giant Pokémon|Giant]] Rhydon were seen on [[Fairchild Island]] in ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]''.

''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon]]'' featured a Rhydon that knew {{m|Surf}}.

Rhydon also made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as one of [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]]'s Pokémon.

[[Brock]]'s dad, {{an|Flint}}, has a Rhydon, but was just mentioned. Flint mostly used his Rhydon for helping him decorate the [[Pewter Gym]]'s battlefield with rocks from mountaintops.

[[Nurse Joy]] had a Rhydon to help look for {{p|Kabuto}} fossils.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Paul's Chimchar]] battled against a Rhydon and a {{p|Magmar}} in the [[Hearthome City]] Tag-Battle Tournament in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''.

In ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', the Head Engineer owned a Rhydon.
 

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Rhydon debuts in the {{special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} in its own round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', as a Koga's Pokémon that is forced to evolve by its trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution showed in the manga.

Rhydon is later seen as one of [[Giovanni]]'s Pokémon.

In {{PSV|9}}, {{Special|Green}} captures a Rhydon outside the [[Viridian Gym]]. He uses it to defeat [[Chuck]] in {{PSV|13}}, as well as [[Oca]] in {{PSV|23}}. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolution, {{p|Rhyperior}}.

Earlier in the same volume, {{Special|Gold}} encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with [[Whitney]]. The Rhydon in question was hunting down a {{p|Sudowoodo}} hiding from it, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her {{p|Miltank}}. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiard cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon.

==Trivia==
*Ash's Pikachu fought Blaine's Rhydon in the anime and defeated it, despite it being a {{type2|Ground}} immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks. Rhydon's horn also serves as a lightning rod which negates electric attacks as of the rules for the Pokémon effect. Since then, that battle has been brought up frequently in comparisons between the games and anime and has spawned the popular Pokémon internet meme, "Pikachu! Aim for the horn!". Oddly, {{a|Lightningrod}} is one of the abilities it can have.
*It is one of the only {{type2|Rock}} and {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon that can learn {{M|Surf}}.
*Rhydon can also "evolve" from any non-hybrid [[Glitch Pokémon]] by the following method:

1: The player must deposit the Glitch Pokémon into Bill's PC.

2: The player must then view the Pokémon's stats.

3: Upon withdrawing the Pokémon, it will be a Rhydon, albeit with the Glitch Pokémon's name (as a nickname), stats, and attacks. It WILL be able to learn Rhydon's level-up and machine moves.

4: If, for any reason, one wishes to turn this Rhydon back into a Glitch Pokémon, one must simply leave Rhydon at the Daycare. Upon withdrawing it, it will be a Glitch Pokémon again, and will retain any moves it learned as a Rhydon (this method is useful for teaching Glitch Pokémon moves they cannot normally know, such as [[Missingno.]] with {{m|Hyper Beam}}). Note that this does NOT work with HMs, as the daycare does not accept Pokémon that know HM techniques.

This occurs because Rhydon's [[index number]] is 001 in [[Generation I]].
* A figure very similar to Rhydon is featured on all of the statues in the entry areas of the gyms.
*Its [[Generation I]] sprites are shown having a full length of spines along its back. This was changed to only having three spikes in [[Generation II]].
*Rhydon and {{p|Rhyperior}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
==Origin==
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as the triceratops.It also may have been inspired by Anguirus, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back.
===Name origin===
Rhydon's name may be a reference to {{wp|rhinoceros}}. The ''don'' may have been intended to mean "lord." However, it is also used as a suffix in various {{wp|dinosaur}} names, so it could be an reference to those prehistoric creatures as well. Its Japanese name is a combination of 犀 ''sai'', rhinoceros, and the aforementioned ''don''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rizeros
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinoferos - ''Rhinocéros'' means rhinoceros. The remainder refers to ''féroce'' meaning ferocious.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코뿌리 ''Koppuri'' - ''Nose Horn''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 鐵甲暴龍

Magmar is a Pokémon with a human-like stance that has traits of a duck and a mythical salamander. Magmar has a red body with a yellow flame design on it. It has a yellow tail that has a flame on it. Magmar has yellow thighs, black legs and red feet with two toes each. Magmar's arms are covered in red, rigid scales and it has red hands with five fingers. Magmar has a row of red spikes running down its back. Magmar has two lumps on its forehead with a flame on top of each one, and a yellow beak.

Due to Magmar's tail-flame and partial-reptilian appearance, it has been considered to be a distant cousin of the {{p|Charmander}}-line.

==Origin==
Magmar seems to be a combination of a {{wp|duck}} or {{wp|booby}} with a mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamander}} of fire. However, the tail and the spikes on its back make it bear a resemblance to an iguana. It also be based on a {{wp|Karura}}.
===Name origin===
Magmar's name may just be a corruption of the word ''{{wp|magma}}'', intrusive molten rock. Its Japanese name might be a corruption of ''[[wp:Booby|booby]]'', a type of sea bird.

'''Celebi and Joy''' (Japanese: '''もうひとつのセレビィ伝説''' ''Yet Another Legend of Celebi'') is episode 14 of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the 13th side story episode of [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]] in Japan. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 7, 2003, in the UK on July 27, 2005, and in the USA on August 12, 2006. In this episode, Celebi send Ritchie back in time to save a Pokémon Center from demolition in the present.

== Synopsis ==
{{spoilers}}
Ritchie continues to pursue his goal to become a [[Pokémon Master]], along with his trusty Pikachu, Sparky. After traveling through a dense forest, a huge city called [[Marion City]] envelopes them, and they stop to take in the sights and smells of urban life. Of course, it is a city, so their first smell of urban life is a cloud of truck exhaust. While searching for a place to rest, he comes across an older man polishing a pedestal of some kind. Inside that pedestal is a statue of Celebi. Ritchie asks the man where this town's [[Pokémon Center]] is, and he explains it's not far...that is, if it's still there. The city is planning to tear the Pokémon Center down!

At the center, which appears to be an older style, an elderly Nurse Joy is standing with her arms spread out, refusing to let the workers pass. A younger Nurse Joy comes out, wondering why the demolition team is there when the demolition wasn't supposed to start until next week. The workers explain that the Mayor ordered that it had to be tore down today. Apparently, they're planning to build a modern Pokémon Center that needs to be done in time for the holidays, so this old building's got to go down. The Nurses still refuse to budge, so the workers send in their Pokémon, a Scyther, a Machoke, a Rhydon, and a Pinsir. However, a Thunderbolt interrupts the proceedings, and Ritchie and Sparky are there, saying they shouldn't be attacking two Nurse Joys. So the workers decide to attack him instead, and send the Pokémon after him. Ritchie retaliates by sending out Rose, who uses Double Team to trick the enemy Pokémon into colliding with each other. Zippo and Sparky finish the job with a Flamethrower and a Thunderbolt. The workers and their Pokémon flee, saying "Wait until the mayor hears about this!" The Nurse Joys thank Ritchie, but he brushes it off, saying who really deserves thanks is the Pokémon. The Nurse Joys invite them inside for some delicious Pokémon food. As the camera zooms out to looking out a window from a building across the way, Celebi can be seen peeking out.

Inside, the older Nurse Joy explains that she's about to retire, and she's leaving her granddaughter, the younger Nurse Joy, in charge. They explain that tomorrow is an important day; it's both Granma Joy's birthday, and the 75th anniversary of the Pokémon Center opening. They moan the fact that Marion Town has been growing into a city, and they don't want to leave room for a old Pokémon Center like this one. It wasn't always that way, though. Grandma Joy explains that it used to be a peaceful and quiet town. She even explains that Celebi used to live in the town before it was overtaken by skyscrapers and concrete. This revelation surprises Ritchie. Grandma Joy goes on to explain about Celebi, and how its presence indicates a harmony between humans and nature. Grandma Joy explains that she saw Celebi the day before the center opened 75 years ago. A day of joy and tragedy, because the day the center opened, there was a landslide that took a dear friend, Nick, away from them. She can only sigh, "If only he had come to my birthday party, he might still be alive with us."

That night, Ritchie is talking about how this building is filled with memories, but if they tear it down, all those memories will just disappear. He wishes there was something he could do to help, but he doesn't think there is. Or at least, not until they're surprised by a bright green light which reveals Celebi! Ritchie is amazed, but Celebi flies to a dresser and points at a drawer. Sparky pulls the drawer out, and Celebi flies inside, coming out with a hidden drawer with a Celebi carving inside. Ritchie wonders what it was doing back there, but Celebi answers with another green glow...which leaves the Celebi carving dropping to the floor, and Ritchie and Sparky standing in a forest.

Ritchie and Sparky are suddenly confused, but they suddenly hear someone calling for help. They find a young girl Joy hanging from a cliff, and manage to save her and pull her back up with some help from her Rapidash. Joy explains that she saw some flowers that she wanted to pick for Celebi when she fell. She explains that legends say that a Celebi lives in this forest, and she thinks it's true. To prove it, she shows them a Celebi Shrine that was put up in the forest a long time ago. A young boy named Nick is working on fixing the doors, but one of them falls off while he's showing off his work. Ritchie's attention, however, is on something else. That's the same Celebi statue he saw earlier, in the city! Nick grudgingly admits that when it comes to carpentry, he's still not nailing it. Joy calls him on the bad joke, and this is the first time Ritchie catches his name, and remember the photo Grandma Joy showed him earlier.

While they're walking back, Joy comments on Ritchie's odd clothes, saying he must come from really far away. She wants to travel when she grows up, though her mother wants her to run the Pokémon Center. When Ritchie asks Nick, he explains that he helps his Dad.

However, Sparky interrupts, pointing out the Pokémon Center ahead. It's still under construction, but almost finished. Joy heads in, hoping to see them at the party. Ritchie looks confused, but Nick explains that it's a two-in-one party. Celebrating the opening of the center and Joy's birthday. Ritchie is now really shocked. Everything he's seeing now is tying in perfectly with what he's heard just earlier.

Later that night during a thunderstorm, Nick's father is informed that Joy ran into the forest. As Ritchie and Nick head out to look for Joy, they find her unconscious near the shrine. As a fire starts near them, Celebi appears and protects them.

The next day as Nick and his father leave, Ritchie remembers the Celebi carving that Nick leave and rides a Ponyta after them (since this was the day that the landslide killed Nick and his father). Upon catching up to them, Ritchie shows Nick the Celebi carving and persuades him to return to give it to Joy. As Nick and his father head back to Marion town, the fatal landslide occurs behind Ritchie. Nick finally shows up to the party and gives Joy her gift. After that happens, Ritchie and Sparky are returned back to the present.

Upon arrival, Ritchie sees the same demolition crew and their Pokemon at the Pokemon Center. At first, Ritchie thought they were going to demolish it, but they were restoring it. Ritchie then meets an elderly Nick who is the mayor of this town. Afterwards, Celebi makes itself known. What used to be an overcrowded city has been regressed to a normal city that still embraces Marion City's old traditions to this day.

'''Celebi and Joy''' (Japanese: '''もうひとつのセレビィ伝説''' ''Yet Another Legend of Celebi'') is episode 14 of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the 13th side story episode of [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]] in Japan. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 7, 2003, in the UK on July 27, 2005, and in the USA on August 12, 2006. In this episode, Celebi send Ritchie back in time to save a Pokémon Center from demolition in the present.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

Ritchie continues to pursue his goal to become a [[Pokémon Master]], along with his trusty Pikachu, Sparky. After traveling through a dense forest, a huge city called Marion Town envelopes them, and they stop to take in the sights and smells of urban life. Of course, it is a city, so their first smell of urban life is a cloud of truck exhaust.

While searching for a place to rest, he comes across an older man polishing a pedestal of some kind. Inside that pedestal is a statue of Celebi. Ritchie asks the man where this town's [[Pokémon Center]] is, and he explains it's not far...that is, if it's still there. The city is planning to tear the Pokémon Center down!

At the center, which appears to be an older style, an elderly Nurse Joy is standing with her arms spread out, refusing to let the workers pass. A younger Nurse Joy comes out, wondering why the demolition team is there when the demolition wasn't supposed to start until next week. The workers explain that the Mayor ordered that it had to be tore down today. Apparently, they're planning to build a modern Pokémon Center that needs to be done in time for the holidays, so this old building's got to go down.

The Nurses still refuse to budge, so the workers send in their Pokémon, a Scyther, a Machoke, a Rhydon, and a Pinsir. However, a Thunderbolt interrupts the proceedings, and Ritchie and Sparky are there, saying they shouldn't be attacking two Nurse Joys. So the workers decide to attack him instead, and send the Pokémon after him. Ritchie retaliates by sending out Rose, who uses Double Team to trick the enemy Pokémon into colliding with each other. Zippo and Sparky finish the job with a Flamethrower and a Thunderbolt. The workers and their Pokémon flee, saying "Wait until the mayor hears about this!"

The Nurse Joys thank Ritchie, but he brushes it off, saying who really deserves thanks is the Pokémon. The Nurse Joys invite them inside for some delicious Pokémon food. As the camera zooms out to looking out a window from a building across the way, Celebi can be seen peeking out.

Inside, the older Nurse Joy explains that she's about to retire, and she's leaving her granddaughter, the younger Nurse Joy, in charge. They explain that tomorrow is an important day; it's both Granma Joy's birthday, and the 75th anniversary of the Pokémon Center opening. They moan the fact that Morion Town has been growing into a city, and they don't want to leave room for a old Pokémon Center like this one.

It wasn't always that way, though. Grandma Joy explains that it used to be a peaceful and quiet town. She even explains that Celebi used to live in the town before it was overtaken by skyscrapers and concrete. This revelation surprises Ritchie. Grandma Joy goes on to explain about Celebi, and how its presence indicates a harmony between humans and nature.

Grandma Joy explains that she saw Celebi the day before the center opened 75 years ago. A day of joy and tragedy, because the day the center opened, there was a landslide that took a dear friend, Nick, away from them. She can only sigh, "If only he had come to my birthday party, he might still be alive with us."

That night, Ritchie is talking about how this building is filled with memories, but if they tear it down, all those memories will just disappear. He wishes there was something he could do to help, but he doesn't think there is. Or at least, not until they're surprised by a bright green light which reveals Celebi!

Ritchie is amazed, but Celebi flies to a dresser and points at a drawer. Sparky pulls the drawer out, and Celebi flies inside, coming out with a hidden drawer with a Celebi carving inside. Ritchie wonders what it was doing back there, but Celebi answers with another green glow...which leaves the Celebi carving dropping to the floor, and Ritchie and Sparky standing in a forest.

Ritchie and Sparky are suddenly confused, but they suddenly hear someone calling for help. They find a young girl Joy hanging from a cliff, and manage to save her and pull her back up with some help from her Rapidash.

Joy explains that she saw some flowers that she wanted to pick for Celebi when she fell. She explains that legends say that a Celebi lives in this forest, and she thinks it's true. To prove it, she shows them a Celebi Shrine that was put up in the forest a long time ago. A young boy named Nick is working on fixing the doors, but one of them falls off while he's showing off his work.

Ritchie's attention, however, is on something else. That's the same Celebi statue he saw earlier, in the city! Nick grudgingly admits that when it comes to carpentry, he's still not nailing it. Joy calls him on the bad joke, and this is the first time Ritchie catches his name, and remember the photo Grandma Joy showed him earlier.

Ritchie looks confused, but Nick explains that it's a two-in-one party. Celebrating the opening of the center and Joy's birthday. Ritchie is now really shocked. Everything he's seeing now is tying in perfectly with what he's heard just earlier? Or is it later? What's going on here?

'''Slowking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヤドキング ''Yadoking'') is a {{2t|Water|Psychic}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from {{p|Slowpoke}} when traded with a [[King's Rock]].

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Slowking are regular Slowpoke who suffered a peculiar event. The [[King's Rock]] they rarely hold attracts {{P|Shellder}}, and gets bitten on its head instead of its tail. The poison that some Shellder secretes reached Slowpoke's brain, turning it extremely intelligent.
===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
Slowking possess an amazing intelligence, to the point that it can match human, also it can understand and speak the human language. They can plan situations with effective results.

Slowking has a weaker Defense stat than Slowbro's as a trade-off to having strong Special Defense. Slowking can use {{m|Nasty Plot}} and the rarely seen {{m|Trump Card}} attack while being unable to learn {{m|Slack Off}} and {{M|Amnesia}} on its own (those two moves would have to come from the Slowpoke it evolved from).

==Behavior==
Because Slowking is much more intelligent than {{p|Slowpoke}} or {{p|Slowbro}}, wild Slowking must lead colonies of wild Slowpoke and Slowbro in times of crisis.

==Habitat==

==Diet==

=In the anime=
[[Image:Slowking Swimming.JPG|right|thumb|A swimming Slowking.]][[Image:Slowking Sleeping.JPG|left|thumb|A sleeping Slowking]]
Slowking first appeared in ''[[The Power of One]]''. He gave [[Ash]] advice on where to find the orbs. This same Slowking made another appearance in a special episode called ''[[Slowking's Day]]'' that showed what he does on a daily basis.

A group of Slowpoke were trying to reach a [[King's Rock]] to evolve to Slowking in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. One finally succeeded at the end.

During the Tag Battle Tournament in Sinnoh, a Slowking belongs to a trainer named Conway.
 

=In the manga=
==In the Pokémon Special manga==
A hint of Slowking's existence first appeared in {{PSV|7}}, while [[Lorelei]] was musing on {{p|Slowbro}}'s enhanced abilities after it had been bitten by {{p|Shellder}}. She remarked that {{p|Slowpoke}} would likely have improved abilities if it was bitten on its head.

However, Slowking's proper debut was in {{PSV|13}}, under the ownership of [[Charmaine]]. It was able to use its {{m|Snore}} attack to show that it could attack even when asleep.

Slowking appeared once more under the ownership of Lorelei in {{PSV|23}}.

Nick (HS13)

2008-01-23T15:08:46Z

Rtkat3:

[[Image:Nick.jpg|thumb|right|Nick as a child.]]
'''Nick''' (Japanese: '''ニック''' ''Nick'') is a character of the day in ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]''. He is the son of a [[wp:Carpenter|carpenter]] and befriended a young [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Ritchie]]. His English voice actors are [[Suzanne Goldish]] (young) and [[Frank Frankson]] (old). His Japanese voice actors are 津村まこと ''[[Makoto Tsumura]]'' (young) and 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' (old).

Nick is first mentioned by the elderly Nurse Joy. Nick was one of her friends as a child. She said that his father helped build the first [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Marion City]]. She described him as shy and reserved but he still was a kind boy. Tragically, he and his father died in a rock slide accident right after they left Marion City. Nurse Joy felt that if he would have come to the opening party of the Pokémon Center instead of leaving then he might have lived.

Unknown to Nurse Joy, Nick had carved her a small statue of {{p|Celebi}}, the shrine's protector. He was going to give it to her as a present but was too shy to give it to her. Instead he hid it in a dresser that was given to the Pokémon Center. Ritchie was the one to discover it and when he did Celebi appeared and transported him and [[Sparky]] back in time.

Ritchie soon met Nick in the past right after meeting the elderly Nurse Joy as a child. Nick was trying to fix up the old Celebi shrine. He acted the same way that the elderly Nurse Joy had described. Ritchie then found out from Nick's father that he had a small crush on the young Joy. Nick claimed that he didn't and started to eat his food fast.

Later that night, Ritchie saw Nick carving the small Celebi statue that he found in the dresser before he was transported. Ritchie tries to convince him to give the statue to Joy and to tell her how he felt. He still wasn't sure though. Soon a friend of Nick's father came to the house and said that young Joy was missing. This was not good because a thunderstorm was going on at the same time. A search party was then sent out to find her. However, Nick already figured out where she went.

He realized that Joy probably went to go protect the Celebi shrine from the thunderstorm. Nick and Ritchie soon found Joy lying unconscious near the shrine. The both took Joy into a small cave for shelter. Afterwards a lightning bolt hit a tree and it fell the shrine and it started to burn. Nick did his best to try to put the flame out so that it wouldn't burn the shrine but to no avail. Ritchie told him to get away from it but he refused saying that the shrine was Joy's favorite thing in the world and he wouldn't let anything happen to it. Soon Joy awoke but another lightning bold was about to strike Nick. Both Joy and Ritchie ran for him. They all seemed to be doomed until a green light appeared. Celebi had come to protect them and the shrine. Soon after that the storm subsided.

The next day, just like history had told, Nick and his father left Marion City and on to their next job. Joy was upset that he left. Soon then Ritchie went over to the desk and looked in the secret compartment where he left the Celebi statue. Ritchie then borrowed Joy's {{p|Ponyta}} to find Nick. He stopped in front of him on the mountain path and explained again that he should be there for the party. Nick finally agreed and he and his father headed back towards the city. As they did, the fatal rock slide that would have killed them passed right behind Ritchie.

[[Image:Nick (old).jpg||thumb|left|Nick as an older man.]]
At the party, Nick finally gave the Celebi statue to Joy. Celebi then visited Ritchie and Sparky and they were sent back to their own time.

When Ritchie returned to the present he found out that not only was Nick alive, but he was the mayor of Marion Town. The older Nick felt that he had met Ritchie somewhere before and asked him if he has been to Marion City before. But he just told him that he "passed through in the past".

'''Domino''' (Japanese: '''ドミノ''' ''Domino''), also known as '''009''' and '''Black Tulip''', is an [[Team Rocket ranks#Elite officer|elite officer]] within [[Team Rocket]]. Her past before [[Team Rocket]] is almost completely unknown, and she claims that Domino is not her real name.

Her true personality remains a mystery. She can be cheerful one moment and all business the next, depending on the situation. She has a quick temper, but can restrain it as the mission calls for. However, when the [[Giovanni|Boss]] gets mad at her, she takes it out on lesser agents.

She is voiced by [[Kerry Williams]]

=Relationships with other members=

Domino seems to have a very close relationship with [[Giovanni]], receiving orders directly from him and maintaining phone communications with him at many times, even things that have little to do with the mission. The closeness is furthered by her attempts to reason with him when she thinks his actions will jeopardize his own goal; not many people could talk back to him and get away with it.

Because Domino is so elite, [[Giovanni]] appears to feel safe in entrusting her with commanding [[Team Rocket Grunts|lesser agents]]. She spearheads the [[Mount Quena]] operation, leading a crack team of over a hundred [[Rocket Grunts]] into the caves. She also recruits [[Jessie]] and [[James]] after finding them in a prison, and makes them cleaners of the new [[Rocket Base]], using them while humiliating them at the same time.

Domino's high status and approval by the [[Boss]] have made her quite vain, and although she uses [[Jessie]] and [[James]] to help with the base, the first time she reveals herself to be a Rocket, she betrays them, bursting the [[Transportation in Pokémon|Meowth Head Balloon]].

=Arsenal and abilities=
She has no [[Pokémon]]. However, she hardly needs them. She is an excellent fighter, although her choice of weapon, an electrically-charged 'tulip', surely raises a few eyebrows. She demonstrates an excellent sense of balance (which contradicts itself later in the film for some unknown reason) and advanced gymnastic skills.
[[Image:Giovanni.jpeg|right|thumb|200px|Domino with Giovanni]]
=Trivia=
* Domino may be named for [[wp:Domino Harvey|Domino Harvey]], a female bounty hunter.
* Domino's codename of 009 is a spin-off of the popular James Bond's name of 007.
* Domino's nickname of the "Black Tulip" is a reference to the [[wp:The Black Tulip|book]] of the same name by [[wp:Alexandre Dumas, père|Alexandre Dumas]].

'''J''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンハンターJ''' ''Pokémon Hunter J'') is a [[Pokémon Hunter]] who, with the help from [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], steals [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]]' [[Pokémon]] and sells the Pokémon requested by her clients for a profit. She first appeared in [[DP020|''Mutiny in the Bounty'']]. Her Japanese voice actress is 本田貴子 ''Takako Honda'' and her English voice actress is [[Sonny Dey]].

=In the anime=
==Character==
Using a special bracelet, she can turn Pokémon into stone before they can fight back and imprison them in jars.

In [[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]], she first stole [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}. Thinking [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Team Rocket|Team Rocket's]] {{MTR}} would be worth a lot, she stole them, too, thus forcing Ash to join forces with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] to rescue them. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into J's airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all others she had stolen, before returning them to their rightful trainers. Though several of her henchmen have been captured by [[Officer Jenny]], J remains still at large.

In [[DP036|''A Secret Sphere of Influence'']], the [[Eterna City]] Officer Jenny guessed that J commissioned Team Rocket to steal the Adament Orb, but the the people responsible were [[Team Galactic]].

J appeared again in ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]''. This time, she was on a mission to steal a group of {{p|Shieldon}}, but was foiled by Ash and [[Ash's friends|his friends]], with the help from [[Gary Oak]]. Her employer cut off the deal to obtain a Shieldon when Officer Jenny is near. After telling Ash and Co. not to get in her way next time, she tells her second in command to establish radio contact with their employer that they will not be doing any service with him again.

Rico appeared in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''. When [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] found a piece of one of Rico's traps in the woods, they told Jenny all about it when she visited the Pokémon Center. Jenny knew Rico was up to his usual evil deeds, and Ash and his friends volunteered to help Jenny capture Rico. Ash and his friends didn't find Rico, but [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] found him, along with a group of caged {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} which Rico will give to his employers! Team Rocket fought Rico for the freedom of the Ekans and Koffing, but after battling Team Rocket, Rico defeated them, although Team Rocket managed to rescue the Ekans and Koffing. To be sure they were safe, they released their [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok]] and [[James's Weezing|Weezing]] to look after them. After running into Ash and his friends and Officer Jenny, his {{p|Fearow}} was taken out by Pikachu and Officer Jenny's Growlithe tackled him before he can bring out {{p|Tyranitar}}.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =

With the [[Whirl Cup]] over, the gang heads over towards the last areas of the Whirl Islands. However, everyone's hungry and the next town won't be reached for quite some time. Meanwhile, Jessie is spying on them from a high area, coming up with another scheme. While Jessie is watching the kids, James and Meowth are busy digging a hole in the ground, attempting the pitfall trick again. As the kids approach, [[Team Rocket]] hide behind a bush, waiting for their trap to work. Sure enough, the kids fall down into the sinkhole. Team Rocket start to bask in their success, but when they go to check out the hole, they fall into another one. Jessie complains to James and Meowth on why they didn't tell her about this one. Meowth says the one they fell in is theirs, since it has a picture of himself on the side. He then begins to dream about his sculpture being everywhere. Suddenly, a bunch of Diglett appear in both Team Rocket's hole and the kids.

The Diglett form a "ladder," and a girl appears. She explains that the hole was dug because people kept sneaking into their town. Brock jumps out and does his usual spiel. The girl introduces herself as Rita, and another, Sue, introduces herself as well. After getting both groups out of the holes, Rita and Sue explain that they need help in defending their village. They offer free food and shelter if the groups agree to help. Eager at the prospect of food, both accept the offer and head towards the village.

The two groups sit down before an enormous mountain of food. Ash and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] begin eating immediately, but Team Rocket hold off. James and Meowth question if eating with the enemy is right, but Jessie ignores them and dives right in to the food. Sue and Rita leave for their home, but say the village elders will explain the story to them. However, they forgot what they need to ask about, and go back and forth several times before remembering they were going to request help. Suddenly, the elders are interrupted by an armored man on a Dodrio. He claims to be the leader of the [[Band of Diglett Thieves]]. They explain that every year, they come to [[Diglett Village]] to steal all of the villager's Diglett so they can help them. He tells the elders that they'll be back tomorrow to begin stealing the Pokémon.

Realizing they need to act fast, Team Rocket and the others decide to join forces to stop the Band of Diglett Thieves. They come up with a plan on how to deal with the Gang: Ash and the others will sneak into the enemy's village and spy on them so they can hear about the plans. Team Rocket will remain in Diglett Village to train the elderly residents how to defend themselves.

Making thier way into the village, Ash and the others hide behind a wall after seeing the leader. Pikachu glances at the leader and jumps back in surprise. The others look, and are stunned to see Sue and Rita talking to the Band of Diglett Thieves' leader. The kids run off, but are spotted by the leader. They learn that the leader of the Band of Diglett Thieves is Rita and Sue's father. He in turn explains that all the residents of Diglett Village are the grandparents of Rita and Sue, and the parents of the Band of Diglett Thieves. As it turns out, the village was founded by their ancestors many years prior. While the younger residents left the village, the older ones remained. The Band of Diglett Thieves was formed in order to make sure the elderly residents were staying in shape, and every year they return to the village in order to check up on their parents. The Diglett Thieves make Ash and the others promise to go along with their plan. The kids agree, and promise to help out the Diglett Village residents.

The next day, James sits on top of a makeshift tower in a tree, waiting for the Band of Diglett Thieves. When he sees them, he lets the elderly residents know, and they charge forward. The pitfalls Team Rocket was digging earlier work, as many Diglett Thieves are falling into them. Ash and his friends help out as well. Ash has Cyndaquil use its {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is put out by a hose. Misty has Poliwhirl use {{m|Water Gun}}, which is deflected by shields. Meanwhile, the Diglett are carrying away the Diglett thieves. Finally, Brock has Crobat use {{m|Supersonic}}. Confusion is prevented by headphones.

Suddenly, the Band of Diglett Thieves hold up a white flag, offering a truce. But Team Rocket, who are unaware of what's really going on, start throwing bombs at everyone. To prevent giving away their secret, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on them, sending them blasting off.

For all their work, the gang receives a Silver Wing Badge. They are very amazed at seeing it, thinking it may hold a clue to the mysterious Pokémon they saw earlier. The Diglett Village thank Ash and the others, and they head off towards the next town.

==Origin==
Crawdaunt is, as its name implies, a crayfish.
===Name origin===
Crawdaunt's name is a pun on ''crawdad'', an alternate name for a [[wp:crayfish|crayfish]]. It is also in combination with ''daunt'', to cause to lose courage. Its Japanese name is based on ザリガニ ''zarigani'', crayfish. The German name is based off of ''[[wp:crab|crab]]'' and ''attack.''

|}

===Personality===
Possibly one of the only characters in the whole history of Pokémon who appears to be purely evil, Vicious is known to be heartless, cruel, and above all he is egocentric. He values his life though. At the end of movie when he finds himself overpowered he begs for his life. While this could be a cowardly side, some argue that this just shows him to think of himself before everything else.

Another argument to prove his selfishness is his apparent change of plan halfway through the movie; one would think that he is aiming to capture [[Celebi]] to present to [[Giovanni]], as he tells Jessie he needs her to see how powerful he is so she can report to the Boss. However, as he is so egocentric his plan soon changes to overthrowing the Boss and ruling Team Rocket himself.

===History===
Not much is known about him except he he has quite a reputation within Team Rocket. Jessie, James, and Meowth all recognize him and immediately start kowtowing shamelessly.
Due to a mistranslation before the movie's release, a small part of the [[fanon]] community identifies him as the future son of Jessie and James, who has come back in time, but the movie itself disproves this.

===Relationships with other members===
Not much seen aside from his hatred of [[Giovanni]]. This hatred can either be a personal hatred stemming from problems that might have taken place off-screen or a hatred of having to answer to a higher up. His egocentric power-hungry nature also strengthens this theory. The hatred that he feels towards Giovanni is strong no matter what the reasoning behind it.

Although he dislikes his Boss, Vicious, unlike other elite officers such as [[Domino]], [[Annie]] and [[Oakley]], sees other Rockets as helpers to his cause (after all, they are all part of the same team!), and is quick to ally with [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], giving them a lift on his giant mechanical construction. They help him to capture [[Celebi]] by blocking [[Ash]]'s party in their tracks. This is odd for a character as selfish as Vicious, but he is a Rocket, after all!

During the course of the movie, he has [[Dark Pokémon (TCG)|Dark]] {{p|Celebi}} construct a mech from forest debris, and [[Jessie]] is sucked into it. While having her be present wasn't part of his initial plan, he tells her his plan with the hopes that she will circulate the word about his new powers.

===Arsenal and Abilities===
He's obviously skilled at hand-to-hand combat, even if he doesn't have the best balance. His primary combat relies on Pokémon that are brainwashed by his [[Dark Ball|Dark Balls]] (it is not known if his Sneasel and [[Vicious's Scizor|Scizor]] were victim to this, but his [[Vicious's Tyranitar|Tyranitar]] certainly was). The origin and technology behind these Dark Balls is unknown. Whether they are Rocket technology is also suspect because nobody else seems to use them. The only quality know about this item is that they make the target creature extremely loyal to Vicious, to the point of forgetting itself and attacking without regard to previous friendships and loyalties.

===Future===
What happened to Vicious after [[Pokémon 4Ever]] is unknown. He was captured by a collection of Forest Pokémon and berated by [[Diana's Grandmother]] after losing his [[iron mask]], but that was the last we saw of him.

Some fans believe that [[Jessie]] and [[James]] reported him to [[Giovanni]] due to the fact that he revealed his plans to overthrow the Team Rocket boss to Jessie. If this is true, then it could be assumed Giovanni would either punish him or expel him from Team Rocket. Because of Vicious' extremely strong system of combat, however, it would be unlikely that Giovanni would want to lose him.
Other fans believe that Vicious was captured and put into prison, or that he left Team Rocket and was never seen or heard from again. It is impossible to know, really, so his fate has been the subject of some speculation!
