 I became interested in Pokémon with the anime, like so many others. LeafGreen was my very first game, and I became instantly hooked. What's not to love about collecting hundreds of super-powered pets that don't need feeding? Anyway, my favourite Pokémon are Grovyle, Suicune, Celebi, Eevee and Scraggy, but they tend to vary often. Yeah, I'm obsessed with Grass and Water types. I'm an avid fan of ''Doctor Who'', just in case there happens to be any Whovians hiding out there (aren't there always?).

[[File:Cissy Badge.png|thumb|220px|[[Ash Ketchum]] examines a Badge he won from [[Cissy]]]]
A '''Badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''Badge'') is an item which denotes a [[Pokémon Trainer]] as having defeated a [[Gym Leader]].

Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[Gym]] Badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young Trainers usually begin their initial Pokémon journey by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a Badge case.

==Development==
[[File:Early Badges.png|right|220px|thumb]]
In early character artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], a selection of familiar and unfamiliar Badges can be seen. It appears that the original concept of Badges was more similar to an {{wp|embroidered patch}} than the {{wp|Badge|pinned badge}} as it is portrayed in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Clockwise from top left opposite are possibly a version of the [[Media:Red Green Red.png|Earth]] [[Media:Sugi art book.png|Badge]], an [[Media:Alpha boytrainer.png|unknown Badge]], another [[Media:Gold Silver Silver.png|unknown Badge]], possibly a version of the [[Media:Red Blue Blue.png|Rainbow]] [[Media:Kensugiart3.png|Badge]], possibly a [[Media:Sugimori1996.jpg|Volcano Badge]] and two [[Media:Alpha girltrainer.png|Cascade]] [[Media:Sugimori1996.jpg|Badges]].

==Effects==
===Stat boost===
In [[Generation]]s I-III, some Badges boost a certain stat or stats of the player's Pokémon. This boost is applied only in internal battles, not link battles. In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the stat or stats are multiplied by 9/8. In Generation II, if the attack is a [[critical hit]] and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all Badge boosts are ignored. In [[Generation III]], the stat or stats are multiplied by 1.1. This boost does not exist in [[Generation IV]] onwards.

===Obedience===
{{main|Level#Disobedience|Level}}
Badges affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s behavior. [[Outsider Pokémon]] over a certain [[level]] will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate Badge. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, obedience is determined by the number of Badges, not which specific Badges the player has.

In the anime in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', [[Cassandra's grandmother]] mentioned this when [[Ash's Charmeleon]] refused to obey him.

===HMs===
{{main|HM}}
While Trainers can teach their Pokémon [[HM]] moves and use them in battle, to use them in the overworld Trainers require the appropriate Badge.

===Poké Mart stock===
From Generation IV onwards, the number of Badges a Trainer possesses affects which items [[Poké Mart]]s sell. The more Badges, the more items that become available for purchase, with more expensive items generally appearing after more Badges are obtained.

===Pokémon League===
In the games, in order to enter the [[Pokémon League]] and challenge the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player must have all eight Badges from that region (or in the case of the [[Indigo Plateau]], either [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]]). In [[Unova]] and Generation I/III Kanto, Badges are checked individually through a series of Badge Check Gates; in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and Generation II/IV Kanto, Badges are checked all at once.

|}
{{-}}

===Sinnoh League===
When Badges are touched in the games, they play a single note, and will make a C major scale when all eight are collected. When a player rubs the stylus across them numerous times to polish them (they gradually tarnish), they will begin to shine. This process can be continued until four sparkles are visible. The notes are also the most clearly defined and accurately tuned when there are four sparkles.

Unlike other generations, it is the number of Badges that determines which Pokémon obey the Trainer, rather than the Badges themselves (this distinction is important owing to the fact that the order of obtaining the Cobble, Fen, and Relic Badges can differ). For every second Badge the maximum level of obeying Pokémon increases (2 Badges—level 30; 4 Badges—level 50; 6 Badges—level 70; 8 Badges—level 100). The number of Badges collected also affects the items that the player can purchase in [[Poké Mart]]s.

{{bdg/h|Sinnoh|8|Sinnoh}}
{{bdg|rock|Coal|コールバッジ|Coal|Roark|Oreburgh City|hm={{m|Rock Smash}}|It is shaped like a boulder and a [[Poké Ball]] combined. It also resembles [[Roark]]'s helmet.}}

{{bdg|steel|Mine|マインバッジ|Mine|Byron|Canalave City|hm={{m|Strength}}|lvl=70|It is shaped like three stones and three pickaxes combined.}}

{{bdg|electric|Beacon|ビーコンバッジ|Beacon|Volkner|Sunyshore City|hm={{m|Waterfall}}|lvl=100|It is shaped like a lighthouse.}}
|}
{{-}}

===Unova League===
Unlike previous Badges, the level at which traded Pokémon will obey the player goes up by ten per Badge, rather than the previous system of rising twenty levels after every even-numbered Badge. They can be polished like Sinnoh's Badges, although they do not make different notes when polished at the same level. Instead, the picture of the Gym Leader that the Badge was earned from gets grayer.

Although Badges are not required to use any of the [[HM]]s outside of battle, some HMs cannot be obtained until after obtaining certain Badges. However, they are not required, as traded Pokémon that have learned an HM move in another game can still use the HM move before acquiring any Badges.

==In the anime==
The {{pkmn|anime}} has a few different rules for Badges than in the games. Primarily, Badges seem to do nothing beside signify the defeat of a given Gym Leader. A Pokémon may choose not to obey its Trainer even if he or she has gained all eight Badges, such as [[Ash's Charizard]].

Gym Leaders are quite lenient about giving out Badges in the anime. Additionally, Trainers do not necessarily have to win a battle with the Gym Leader in order to earn a Badge. The Orange Crew, for example, all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles and [[Ash Ketchum]] was awarded several Badges because of his kind heart and determination.

The exact nature of how Gym Badges are supposed to be collected has varied: A few instances, such as Ash's travels through Kanto, had the Trainer picking out Gyms in any order, and is likewise implied in Johto. On the other hand, after Ash ends up fighting Norman for the first time, Norman stated to Ash that he was supposed to be the third Gym Leader to be faced, and points to Rustboro as the first Gym he should face, and the Sinnoh Badge case has indents for specific Badges (In Ash's case, the Badges from the Generation IV games), implying that the Trainer in question has to face the Gyms in a pre-determined order by the Pokémon League.

Participation in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] yields a final Pokémon League Badge at the closing ceremony. It is larger, however, and square shaped.

[[Pokémon Tech]], a boarding school which educates Pokémon Trainers, is an expensive school for children of wealthy families. Moving up a grade in Pokémon Tech is the equivalent of winning two Gym Badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in the Pokémon League.

Trainers can take a three-part test that awards a single Badge which allows entry into the Pokémon League, as seen in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]].'' The test is called the Pokémon League Admissions Exam. It is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

[[File:Many Unknown Kanto Badges.png|thumb|right|Badges in EP013 (composite screenshot)]]

It's also implied in the anime that a Gym Badge serves as a primary ID for a Gym Leader (and probably a secondary ID for a Trainer), as Brock used his Boulder Badge to identify himself in order to clear his name from any accusations of stealing parts from a machine shop in Cerulean City.

So far, Ash Ketchum has only obtained Badges that are available in the games, with the notable exception of those he obtained in the Orange Archipelago. Several unknown Badges can be seen at the beginning of ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', while many Trainers Ash has met have had Badges that differ from those that are obtainable in the games. This suggests that there are Gyms in locations which do not appear in the games and therefore more than eight Gyms in each region. Trainers with Badges not seen in the games include:

===Gary===
[[Gary Oak]] acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League Badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is an infinite number of Badges that can be given out in a given region. By ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', he is shown to have at least ten Badges, only three of which correspond to known Kanto league Badges, suggesting there are at least fifteen Gyms in Kanto. This would, therefore, provide one Gym for each of the (at the time) fifteen types. Among these may include the [[Fighting Dojo]], a Gym shown to be defunct by {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

===Otoshi===
In addition, before Ash competes in the Indigo League, a Trainer named [[Otoshi]] is shown in the episode ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''; he owns eight Badges, but only shares four in common with Ash; later in the episode another Trainer is seen with eight other completely different Badges altogether. In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi and the other Trainer display 27 different types of Badges, so there must be at least this number of Gyms in Kanto at the time, assuming they are all from the same region.

On closer inspection, Otoshi's Badges each look somewhat similar to Ash's Badges and only differ in size and shape. Similarly, what can be identified as a Soul Badge, Thunder Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge slide across the screen every time his Marowak knocks out a Pokémon in his flashback. His Badges are in this order from upper-left to bottom-right: Thunder, ? (Rainbow), Cascade, Volcano, Marsh, Soul, Boulder, and Earth. This hints that there may be different varieties of the same Badge.

Later, during Ash's Johto League challenge, he is given what is referred to in the show as the "{{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}} Badge"; however, this is not an official Gym Badge and is not recognized in the games as a Badge at all, but rather a [[key item]] used to make {{p|Lugia}} appear in the [[Whirl Islands]].

===Morrison===
At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'', [[Morrison]] is shown to have an eighth Badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least nine Gyms in Hoenn.

===Mismagius===
In {{Ash}}'s dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', Ash has many Badges that haven't been on-screen before, as well as some older Badges. Considering it was only a dream, it is possible that some of the Badges seen don't exist at all.

===Barry===
In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', it shows that {{an|Barry}} has three Badges. While the Forest Badge and the Mine Badge are no different, Barry has a third Badge that is different from the eight Sinnoh Badges. In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Barry was revealed to have obtained eight Badges already, two more of which are different. This could imply that there are at least eleven Gyms in Sinnoh. The possibility of more Sinnoh Gyms is further supported by something [[Tower Tycoon Palmer]] says to Ash in ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''. After the Twinleaf Festival is coming to a close, and Ash and the gang prepares to depart, Palmer asks Ash about the Pokémon League. Ash says that he needs just one last Badge. Palmer then suggests (or something to that effect) that Ash choose Sunyshore to be his final Badge, as if there were other possible choices. The same unknown red Badge that Barry owns is shown at the end of ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

===Nando===
In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' it is revealed that [[Nando]] has acquired seven Badges. Nando has two Badges that are the same as two of Barry's unknown Badges.

===Trip===
In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'' [[Trip]] revealed all five of the Badges he had collected, three of which are unknown and not seen in-game.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Sinnoh Gym Badges Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Platinum's Gym Badges]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the Badges, just as the Boulder Badge increases the Pokémon's Attack stat in the games. In addition, Badges that don't allow higher leveled Pokémon to obey, such as the Soul Badge, do indeed allow the wearer to control even legendary Pokémon such as {{p|Articuno}}.

It is not known what sort of material Badges are made of, but it has been confirmed that the Gym Leaders each own a Badge made of different material than the kind given out to normal Trainers, as that is how the [[Masked Man]]'s identity was narrowed down to among the 16 known Gym Leaders when [[Aibo]] scraped off a part of his hidden Badge with its {{m|Scratch}} attack.

[[Team Rocket]] used seven Kanto Gym Badges to power a machine that combined {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|a single beast]]. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earth Badge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals by turning [[Cerise Island]] into a giant Badge energy amplifier to fuel the legendary {{p|Lugia}} with.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament; however, without eight Badges corresponding to their home region, a Trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Kanto Badges EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Kanto Badges]]
[[File:Ash Orange Islands Badges EToP.png|thumb|left|150px|Ash's Orange League Badges]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Badges work in a way similar to the anime, however, there are some minor differences. All Badges have the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon Trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech "Class D", "Class C" and so forth. Badges increase the rank of the Trainer who owns them. [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] once believed that he could increase his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, however this was not the case.

Ash has obtained eight Badges from Kanto, but only three (Boulder, Cascade, Earth) actually matching known Badges, and another three lookalike Badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano). Ash also obtained four Badges from the Orange Islands, but none of them match any known Badges.

==In Pokémon Live!==
[[File:Diamond Badge.png|thumb|right|The Diamond Badge from [[Pokémon Live!]]]]
In [[Pokémon Live!]], [[Giovanni]] offers the ''Diamond Badge'' to Trainers who defeat his [[MechaMew2]]. He gives {{Ash}} the Diamond Badge prior to the battle, believing that Ash will never win. However, Ash defeats Giovanni with {{p|Mewtwo}}'s assistance, proceeding to give the Diamond Badge to {{an|Misty}} as a belated birthday gift. Pokémon Live! is not in continuity with the {{pkmn|anime}}, and the Diamond Badge is not mentioned elsewhere in the series; however, it is the inspiration for [[DiamondShipping]]'s name.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] computer programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped Badge being the Marsh Badge and the yellow circular Badge being the Soul Badge. Several anime and game handbooks also make this same switch. This appears to be because of an initial error in naming the Badges in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. A soul would be more attuned to {{t|Psychic|psychic}} abilities and one finds {{t|Poison|poisonous}} gases in a marsh.
* The Orange League is the only known Pokémon League with fewer than 8 Badges.
* With the exception of the Earth Badge, obtaining a region's eighth Badge enables the use of {{HM|07|Waterfall}} outside of battle. In Kanto, the Volcano Badge, its seventh Badge, enables the use of Waterfall, while the Earth Badge would technically enable the use of {{HM|08|Dive}}, if it could be used outside of battle in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* It is possible to obtain certain Badges in a non-linear order. The most notable example of this are the Kanto Badges in [[Generation]] {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, which can be obtained in virtually any order, although the Earth Badge must be obtained last in [[Generation IV]].
** In [[Generation III]], the only Gym that can be skipped entirely is the [[Fortree City Gym]]. The player can get to the point in the game where the guards at the Pokémon League check to see if the player has received all eight Badges. This is not the case with the [[Dewford Gym]] as it must be defeated in order for the player to fight [[Norman]], though it can be put off until after Flannery has been defeated.
* In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} the Earth Badge is the only Badge that doesn't allow the use of a HM outside of battle, while in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} it is the only Kanto Badge that does.
* The Rainbow Badge's colors correspond with the colors of all the other Kanto Badges, explaining the odd colors in its design.
* In the code of the Generation I games, items named for each Badge can be found. The items named '''BoulderBadge''' and '''CascadeBadge''' allow players to throw rocks and bait, respectively, at Pokémon outside of the Safari Zone when used in battle. The other Badges have no known purpose.

===Name origin===
* With the exception of the Rainbow and Rising Badges, all Badges in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] were renamed for audiences outside of Japan. All eight [[Hoenn]] League Badges keep their Japanese names, as do [[Sinnoh]] League Badges, with the exception of the Icicle Badge, due to its name originally being the Glacier Badge in Japanese. In English, the Glacier Badge is the [[Mahogany Gym]]'s Badge, which was originally called the Ice Badge in Japanese. This naming conflict continued in Generation V, with the [[Icirrus Gym]]'s Badge being the Icicle Badge in Japanese, where it was renamed the Freeze Badge in English.
** The Japanese names of the [[Kanto]] Badges are all colors, following the color pattern for the town and city names.
** The Trio and Insect Badges are the first Badges since the Glacier Badge in Generation II to get renamed in the English version of the games, without there being a localization conflict between the Japanese and English versions.
* The Storm Badge's English name may derive from the {{wp|lucha libre}} wrestler {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}—also the inspiration for [[Crasher Wake]]—whose name translates as "Friar Storm".

'''Orm''' (Japanese: '''オウカ''' ''Ōka'') is one of [[The Three Beasts]] of [[Team Rocket]] in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==History==
Orm first appears with his two teammates, [[Sird]] and [[Carr]] after the latter had attacked {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Green}}, and [[Lorelei]]. After they escape, Orm and the others appear on the television where they show a wanted poster with Red, Blue, and {{adv|Green}}'s faces on them. Until they are brought to them, Orm and his teammates attack the [[Sevii Islands]]; Orm's assigned attack location is [[Six Island]].

Next, on Six Island, Orm can be seen commenting that islanders were weak while they all lay unconscious around him. As he mulls over where to attack next, Orm is approached by Blue who immediately attacks. Orm quickly gains the upper hand by having his army of Shuckle cover Blue and his Pokémon, restraining them while attacking with {{m|Toxic}}.
Orm reveals to Blue that they were the ones who had kidnapped his missing grandfather, {{adv|Professor Oak}}. This angers Blue, who has his other Pokémon attack the Shuckle army, knocking out the leader and thus, having Orm lose his control of them. Without any Pokémon to use, Orm is easily defeated by Blue and is sent flying.

Later, he is found by Sird and Carr who proceed to take and wake him up. Once {{adv|Giovanni}} uses {{adv|Deoxys}} to search for his missing son, Orm shows happiness over the eventual family reunion. He and Sird are sent out to find and capture Giovanni's son and find {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Yellow}} right away. Realizing that Silver is Giovanni's son, they attack the two and quickly gain the upper hand. Battling in the [[Viridian Forest]] makes Yellow angry and causes her Pokémon to grow several levels higher than usual. Realizing that they are out of their league, Sird and Orm knock Silver out and make their escape.

They take Silver to their airship and dress him in a Team Rocket uniform while Orm notices that Yellow has followed them to the ship. Orm later brings a weakened Giovanni to the inside of the ship for rest after he is defeated by the hands of Red and {{adv|Mewtwo}}. Just as he hopes that Silver and Giovanni are having a touching family reunion, everyone onboard is shocked to find out that Carr, having gone mad with power, has taken over the airship and is planning to crash it to the ground. Orm and Sird are sent flying and grab onto parts of the crashing ship to prevent themselves from falling off. Eventually, Orm is unable to hold on and falls to his death; whether or not he is still alive or not is currently unknown.

'''Elesa''' (Japanese: '''カミツレ''' ''Kamiture'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nimbasa City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Nimbasa Gym]]. She specializes in {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Bolt}} to Trainers who defeat her.

==In the games==
Elesa makes her debut in {{game|Black and White|s}}, serving as the Nimbasa City Gym Leader. This Gym is the fourth that the player may challenge. The player can challenge her to a battle after riding a series of roller coasters to her location, a process involving the flipping of multiple switches so the tracks take the player to her.

Elesa specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. She utilizes a strategy that involves using {{m|Volt Switch}} between her two {{p|Emolga}}, and later {{p|Zebstrika}}. Upon defeating her, she will reward the player with a Bolt Badge and {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}.

Outside of battle, Elesa is a supermodel. She appears when [[Bianca]] attempts to convince her father to allow her to become a Pokémon Trainer. Elesa aids her, convincing Bianca's father to give his daughter the permission to follow her dream. When the player leaves Nimbasa City, it is Elesa who appears briefly on {{rt|5|Unova}} and tells the bridge guard to lower the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] so the player may cross it. She then appears at [[N's Castle]], where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]] while the player goes after N. While not strictly relevant to the plot, Elesa also visits [[Cynthia]] in the summer at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.

'''[[Nimbasa City]]'''
:''"Sweetie, you keep going on your travels."''
:''"My name is Elesa. I'm this town's Gym Leader. I also happen to be a model."''
:''"You know, there are many people in this world. There are people whose way of thinking may be completely different from yours. Sometimes, this means you may get hurt."''
:''"But it's important to keep trying, to learn about the differences between yourself and others... To learn that being different is OK. And you shouldn't worry. Trainers always have Pokémon at their side. Pokémon are wonderful. It's not only how cute they can be, but also how much you can depend on them..."''
:''"I'm sure he traveled as a Trainer himself, in the past... Being a parent must be hard."''
:''"Did I meddle unnecessarily? You looked troubled, so I decided to chime in."''
:''"By the way, if you're Trainers, please stop by the Pokémon Gym. I'll teach you a little something about how tough a journey can get."''{{tt|*|If Elesa has not been defeated}}
:''"I'm sorry, <player>. I'll be waiting on Route 5."''{{tt|*|If Elesa is already defeated}}

'''[[Nimbasa Gym]]'''
* Before battle
:''"Did the fantastic speed leave you dizzy? My beloved Pokémon will be the next one to make your head spin!"''

*During battle (the first non-KO hit)
:''"You and your Pokémon... are shining brilliantly!"''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"A properly dramatic victory requires a dash of danger and a pinch of peril."''

* When defeated
:''"I meant to make your head spin, but you shocked me instead."''

* After being defeated
:''"My, oh my... You have a sweet fighting style. I mean, you're a great Trainer! Excuse me, I...uh... Oh, here! I want you to have this!"''
:''"If you have four [[Badge]]s, including this {{badge|Bolt}}, Pokémon up to Lv. 50, including traded Pokémon, will obey you. Also, here's this move I like. Feel free to use it, um, if you want to."''
:''"{{m|Volt Switch}} lets the Pokémon switch with a different Pokémon after attacking. Of course, if you don't have another Pokémon in your party, you can't switch."''
:''"You're going to [[Driftveil City]] next? Of course. There is a Pokémon Gym there, after all. Oh... I bet you won't be able to get there. You know what? I'll fix it so you can cross. Wait for me on {{rt|5|Unova}}."''
:''"What you'd like to do... What your Pokémon would like to do... Don't you think it could be amazing if those are aligned?"''

* Post game:
:''"I think the real me is the one who battles with Pokémon as a [[Gym Leader]]. A model's job is to make someone else's vision look like a reality. It's interesting but it's not easy..."''

'''[[Unova Route 5]]'''
:''"Oh, you two are friends... That's nice, how you're helping each other get better by competing. OK, let's go."''
:''"This is [[Alder]], the Unova region's {{pkmn|Champion}}."''
:''"Let's roll. The [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] is just ahead."''
:''"Now to contact him... It's me, Elesa. Please lower the drawbridge. I have a couple of Trainers here who want to challenge you. OK... Thanks. Now, watch this! I have a TV gig, so I've got to go. The Gym Leader of the next town may take some getting used to... Do your best, both of you."''

'''[[N's Castle]]'''
:''"Ignoring [[Team Plasma]]... That would be a terrible thing for us Gym Leaders to do."''
:''"I do not appreciate stubborn people."''

'''[[Cynthia]]'s villa'''
:''"I must say it's difficult for people to draw out a Pokémon's charm if they don't have any themselves."''
:''"You know [[Nimbasa City]]? You know it runs on energy generated by {{type|Electric}} Pokémon? ...Just kidding!"''
:''"Getting wrapped up in worries is bad for your body and spirit. That's when you must short out your logic circuits and reboot your heart."''
:''"Without a word... Without even a whisper... My Pokémon connect me to other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, transmitting the current of my feelings."''
:''"Put bluntly, swimsuits are nothing but cloth, right?"''

'''Badge Case'''
:''May you always continue to be a person who brightens your surroundings.''

Hmmm, that sounds like a Gym Leader I know. Well, let's see... 'The Gym Leader Elesa said that Nimbasa's Pokémon can dance a nimble bossa! Nobody laughed, but I thought it was really funny!

Elesa made her debut appearance in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{an|Bianca}} went to one of her modelling shows in order to request a Gym Battle. Elesa was excited to see [[Ash's Pikachu]] and even left the runway just so she could get a closer look. Later, Elesa battled Bianca in a three-on-three match and easily defeated all of Bianca's Pokémon with her powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}.

Elesa battled {{Ash}} in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]''. Although Ash proved to be a far tougher opponent than Bianca had, she still gave the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} a tough time in her Gym. However Ash was able to pull through and earn himself a {{badge|Bolt}}.

Elesa appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.

Zebstrika proved itself to be extremely powerful, knocking out all three of Bianca's Pokémon with little effort.

In ''[[BW050|Battle-Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Zebstrika was used against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Palpitoad}} during his challenge for a badge. However, as Palpitoad was part {{type|Ground}}, {{m|Wild Charge}} would not work and {{m|Flame Charge}} did little damage. Although Zebstrika's {{m|Double Kick}} was powerful against Palpitoad, it was hit with Palpitoad's {{m|Supersonic}}, leaving it confused. A combination of {{m|Mud Shot}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} finally knocked it out.

Zebstrika's known moves are {{m|Flame Charge}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, {{m|Wild Charge}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}.}}

As both Pokémon were female, Attract could not work; however, Emolga was able to defeat Snivy using Aerial Ace and {{m|Acrobatics}}—moves Snivy was weak against. Finally, Emolga was sent up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, but since the recent battles had taken their toll, Emolga was knocked out with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}.

Elesa worked around Tynamo's inability to learn more than a few moves by training her so her {{m|Tackle}} was extremely powerful, causing Pikachu to struggle. However, Pikachu was able to pull himself together and knocked out Tynamo with {{m|Iron Tail}} after repetitively using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the field.

She is briefly seen with other Nimbasa City officials when talking to White and negotiating with the [[BW Agency]] about the [[Pokémon Musical]] since Nimbasa City was starting to dwindle with its tourism, although Elesa didn't appear to be very interested. Later, when the Musical was being set up, Elesa was seen dressing up her Zebstrika in support of it. She informs {{adv|Black}} that their Gym Battle will have to wait until the Musical ends. Later, Black and Elesa have their Gym battle despite the fact that Black becomes stuck in her Gym's coaster car. Eventually, Black manages to defeat her but before he can take the badge, he is sent to the outside of the Gym from a thunderstorm caused by the Pokémon {{p|Thundurus}}.

Elesa, along with her fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, she and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Elesa and the other Gym Leaders fell to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Kami trio]].

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{an|Brock}} is ready to travel again and has joined up with {{Ash}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] as they continue en route towards Rustboro City. In the forest they encounter a giant {{p|Zigzagoon}}, which they soon realize is actually a Trainer in a Zigzagoon suit. The Trainer is [[Nicholai]] the knickerbocker; who believes in becoming one with Pokémon in order to understand them. When Nicholai learns that May is the daughter of the [[Petalburg City|Petalburg]] [[Gym Leader|Gym leader]] [[Norman]] and instantly asks for a battle, May accepts, however, Brock claims she is not ready as Torchic is still inexperienced.

In the battle Nicholai sends out a {{p|Mudkip}} while May sends out Torchic, Nicholai quickly changes into a Mudkip costume. May uses {{m|Ember}} while Nicholai commands a {{m|Water Gun}} that drenches the Ember. May orders a Peck attack, to which Max warns against, but it is too late, and Nicholai commands Mudkip to blast Torchic with a close-range water gun, knocking it out. Nicholai starts to make jokes on how easy it was to battle May and her father may be easier, this makes Max furious but Ash, Brock and May shrugs off the insult.

While having lunch, May realizes Max is missing they go on to search for him. Nearby Max is seen with an handful of berries and drops them on the ground then out of nowhere a group of Zigzagoon comes for the food, when all the food is finished the group of Tiny Racoon's asks for more, but Max says there is no more. This makes the Zigzagoon angry as they start attacking Max. At that point Ash, May and Brock arrives and try to save Max, but before they could do anything a big Zigzagoon appeared, it's Nicholai, Nicholai tames the Zigzagoon and captures one of them.

{{TRT}} then attempts to steal Nicholai's Mudkip. However, Nicholai saves it by dressing up in different Pokémon costumes.

After the apology from Max, Ash and Nicholai have a battle; Ash sends out [[Ash's Taillow|Taillow]] he caught [[AG004|last episode]] and Nicholai sends out his newly-acquired Zigzagoon. The episode concludes as both of them fight with their new Pokémon.

* Nicholai said that sometimes he is a Tentacool when he wears a Tentacruel costume.
* After Torchic faints, Mudkip's and Nicholai's costume's jaws are dark blue, when they should be the same as Mudkip's belly, and Mudkip's and Nicholai's costume's left cheeks are blue instead of orange.
* When Nicholai walks away after defeating May his Mudkip is on his right shoulder but when Team Rocket is watching him through their binoculars the Mudkip is on his left shoulder.

Talk:Audino (Pokémon)

2011-07-14T18:56:33Z

SpeedSuicune: /* Name Origin... */

==Type==
I thought it was said somewhere that Tabunne was a Normal-type. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 15:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
:Serebii says apparently, PokéBeach seems certain, blog says nothing is known about type. I guess it would be alright to put the type on, as it is still in the userspace. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:14, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Image==
Which one is Tabunne? Could you put it in the caption of the picture? [[User:Theviolinkid|Theviolinkid]] 18:55, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Theviolinkid
:Tabunne is the right opponent. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 19:28, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Origin==
Tabunne might be based off a goat. I know goats aren't bipedal, but it looks like a baby goat to me. If you look closely you see what appear to horns near its ears and a bell hanging on its right ear. I'm '''not''' saying put "Tabunne appears to be based off a goat", I'm just bringing up a point here. --[[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 03:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it's best to just wait till we can see a clearer image first

I can't see the goat resemblance [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:37, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

It kinda reminds me of a koala, particularly the coat pattern and ear and general body shape. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 06:24, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

== The moment we get official art ==

This is mainspaced. Try to find the official art. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

um....ok? isn't that how it usually works when we have all the info...is the art out or something? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:15, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

No, the art is not out. [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo... Fear me, and my team made entirely of Mewtwo!!!]] 23:31, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
:Coro Coro leak gave us art of this and many others. Is it mainspacing time? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
::Like he said, the moment we get official art.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 06:45, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
:::We have official art (it just needs to be [[a:User talk:Maverick Nate#New Pokémon images 2|extracted]]). So that means mainspacing time. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:59, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

== Hearing VS Healing ==

It's Pokedex entires suggest Hearing...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 19:18, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, ヒヤリング　(''hiyaringu'') refers to hearing, not to healing. I even found it in a dictionary. [[User:Erik10081989|Erik10081989]] 12:46, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

== Nurse/Doctor Origin ==

Clearly this Pokemon was based more on humans than a specific animal, similarly to the Happiny - Chancey - Blissey line, except it was inspired by a doctor or nurse using a stethoscope. I am going to re-add that to the page, and until someone finds a better origin (which I don't see happening any time soon), I believe it is a valid point and should be on the page. {{unsigned|CoolDudeAl}}

== Breeding Table ==

The chart says that Tabunne can learn moves by breeding via the Chansey family... how is that possible with an all-female species?
[[User:Falchiar|Falchiar]] ( [[User_talk:Falchiar|talk page]] ) 19:11, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:Corrected. It is not obviously possible.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 19:16, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

== Audino vs Albino ==
Whenever I hear the name, I think of the color. It's not entirely albino, but its undersides are, and the two are spelled very similarly. Any thoughts?[[User:Yurtablemoron|Yurtablemoron]] 05:37, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:It looks nothing like that....[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 06:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Removed 'leporid' origin ==

I have no idea where leporid came from, as Audino definitely doesn't look like any of them. Buneary and Lopunny are examples of leporid-based pokemon, but since it doesn't look like it, I'm removing it. And facilitating discussion since the last one just got erased with no explanation. [[User:Salix|Salix]] 06:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Linking this for koala: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Friendly_Female_Koala.JPG Similarities were already noted above, but I'll repeat anyway: coat pattern, body shape, ear shape. All that's lacking are accessories: dangly things from the ears and the tail.

As for leporids, they have nothing visually in common besides maybe the tail. Sensitive ears are found all over the animal kingdom and are thus hardly exclusive, besides which their purpose for Audino is to aid it in nursing. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:43, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
* Audino is on practically every route. Rabbits are practically everywhere, Koalas are not. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 05:25, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
** ...what? That's stupid. Where a Pokemon is found has nothing to do with its basis. --[[User:Transfinite|Transfinite]] | [[User talk: Transfinite|Talk]] 13:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

== German name origin ==

I don't speak German much, but I think ''Ohrdoch'''s got something to do with [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/doch#German "doch"]. It seems to be somewhat similar to Japanese "tabun ne", but I'm not sure... Any thoughts? --[[User:Hohoo|Hohoo]] 17:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

== Name Origin... ==

''"I dunno."'' This has to be the most ridiculous name origin I have come across. Well I dunno where this could have come from. Does anyone else? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 07:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

All of its names are a play on words. Its Japanese name, as can be read in the article, is a play on 'tabun ne', meaning 'maybe'. Its English name is a play on 'I dunno'. All origins are words connected to doubt, and that's where 'I dunno' comes from. Not so ridiculous after reading the article, really. [[User:SpeedSuicune|SpeedSuicune]] 18:56, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 I became interested in Pokémon with the anime, like so many others. LeafGreen was my very first game, and I became instantly hooked. What's not to love about collecting hundreds of super-powered pets that don't need feeding? Anyway, my favourite Pokémon are Grovyle, Suicune, Celebi, Pikachu and Eevee. Yeah, I'm obsessed with Grass- and Water-types. I'm an avid fan of ''Doctor Who'', just in case there happens to be any Whovians hiding out there (aren't there always?).

SpeedSuicune:

{{ship}}
----
[[Image:CuteDiamond.jpg|thumb|Diamond admires Platinum]]
'''CommonerShipping''' (Japanese: '''ダイ嬢''' ''DaiJō'' or '''ダイプラ''' ''DaiPura'') is the belief that {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Platinum}} belong in a romantic relationship. The term is so because Diamond is a commoner compared to the extremely rich Platinum. It is considered one-sided canon from Diamond's side, since Platinum remains clueless to his affection.

==The basis==
Diamond is one of the two main male protagonists of the Diamond and Pearl saga. Usually shown with some type of food item; doughnuts, cookies, etc. He seems to have a very laid back and calm personality. He has shown great care for his Pokemon and enjoys sharing even his food with them. He enjoys the company of Platinum in much the same way, also tending to think kindly of her as a princess figure such as when he first met her.

Platinum is a very well mannered and skilled young girl, she is also the female protagonist of the Diamond and Pearl saga. She has her mind set on obtaining all the ribbons and Gym badges with the assistance of Diamond and {{Adv|Pearl}}, whom she originally believed to be her bodyguards. She seems to enjoy most of Diamond's antics and even giggles at most of his jokes. She also seems to be oblivious to the apparent crush Diamond has on her.

==Evidence==
{{incomplete|needs=rounds must be added to hints}}
===Diamond's hints===
* When Diamond first met Platinum, he appeared dazzled by her appearance, even thinking of her as a "Princess".
* Right after meeting Platinum, Pearl followed with a somewhat moody attitude whereas Diamond seemed to stare at her in complete awe.
* Diamond adapted the nickname "Missy" to Platinum, full time upon hearing it used in reference to her for the first time.
* Diamond is fiercely determined when it comes to protecting Platinum. Fans believe he uses it as a way to show his affection for her.
* When Platinum was competing in her first contest, Diamond baked a pie for her.
* ''Round 362, [[PS362|VS. Drapion and Kricketune I]]''
:Diamond tells Platinum about his encounter with {{p|Mesprit}} at [[Lake Verity]], which is something that he didn't tell Pearl. When Platinum asks him why he told her but not Pearl, Diamond's facial expression suggests that he may have been called out.

===Platinum's hints===
* Platinum is often shown laughing or giggling at Diamond's jokes and puns.
* Platinum gave Diamond a {{p|Mamoswine}} because it reminds her of him.

'''Plusle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プラスル''' ''Plusle'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, though it seems to be related to {{p|Minun}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Plusle and {{p|Minun}} bear a remarkable resemblance to {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Pikachu}}. Plusle are mostly a shade of cream with red accentuations. The accentuations of red are apparent on its large ears, cheeks, forepaws, and tails. Plusle's short tails have flat plus signs on the end of them, while their red cheeks are circular with plus signs voided in the middle. Plusle has a small, dot-like nose.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Plusle creates electrical pom-poms from its forepaws and sparks from its body to cheer on its partners.

Plusle's abilities in battle are basically the same as its cousin Pikachu except that Plusle has more Special Attack power than Pikachu (without a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}) and is slightly faster. However, Plusle is unable to use {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Slam}}. On the other hand, Plusle learns more support moves than Pikachu, such as {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|Fake Tears}}, and {{m|Copycat}}.

===Behavior===
Plusle is a cheerful and supportive Pokémon, always encouraging comrades in battle by using the spark pouches in its cheeks. It is very compassionate towards its friends, and is known to cry upon witnessing a friend lose a battle. They are commonly referred to as cheerleaders for these actions. A Plusle may climb telephone poles to absorb electricity. Also, it seems to enjoy battling with the Pokémon [[Minun]]. Its cheeks will also spark if a friend is winning a battle.

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Plusle Minun anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Plusle in the anime]]
Plusle first appeared alongside {{p|Minun}} in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty]]''. Both Pokémon were owned by [[Thatcher]], who is responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The same Plusle and Minun appear again in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.

[[Elijah]] used Plusle and Minun as actors in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]''. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Plusle and Minun were setting out to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from an evil {{p|Exploud}}.

Plusle and Minun also appear as supporting characters in the film ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', serving as the story's comic relief. The pair helps [[Tory Lund]] to overcome his fear of Pokémon.

[[Solana]]'s Plusle also appears with her each time she herself makes an appearance, except ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One]] [[DP072|and Two]]''. It is the only one so far not to be seen with a Minun partner.

Another Plusle appeared in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'' and ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'' alongside its counterpart under the ownership of [[Ursula]].

In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', another one appeared in {{an|Dawn}}'s flashback. As a child, Dawn had a fear of it along with Minun.

==Trivia==
* Oddly, in [[Generation IV]], Plusle can learn {{m|Fake Tears}} at both level 21 and 31 (21 and 35 in Generation V), but its partner {{p|Minun}} can only learn it once, at level 31 (35 in Generation V).
** Prior to [[Generation V]], Plusle was the only Pokémon which learns the same move at two different levels where one of the levels is not level 1. In Generation V, {{p|Palkia}} does this too, learning {{m|Aqua Tail}} at levels 24 and 42.
* Plusle shares the same [[species]] name with its partner {{p|Minun}}. They are both known as Cheering Pokémon.
* Despite being based on a rodent-like creature, it is unable to breed with Pokémon from the {{egg3|Ground}} (common to mammals); it is exclusive to the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Plusle is considered by many fans to be a [[novelty Pokémon]] due to its general weakness unless paired in battle with Pokémon which has {{a|Minus}}. It appears mainly to showcase the [[double battle]] system introduced in its generation.
*Plusle and Minun have the same base stat total and the same base stats, although the stat distribution is different.
===Origin===
It seems to be based on a {{wp|cheerleading}} {{wp|mouse}} or {{wp|rabbit}}. It could also be an incarnation of a positive electric charge.
====Name origin====
Plusle's name is based on ''plus'', as in something with a positive electrical charge. A partial amalgam of ''pulse'' may also be present in its name.

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It evolves from {{p|Pignite}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Emboar is an enormous, bulky, boar-like Fire-type Pokémon. It has short legs, a small tail ending in a tuft of hair and a small dome shaped head with no neck. Its egg shaped torso makes up most of its body. It has two powerful arms, which grow wider towards its fists with tufts of fur on the elbows. Constantly burning flames wreath the front of its neck and shoulders resembling a traditional Chinese center-parted beard. It has a red pig-like nose and large bushy black eyebrows that sweep up at the sides like horns or ears. Two tusks protrude from its lower jaw, jutting out at the corners of its wide mouth. Its forearms begin orange in coloration, with the coloration of the upper and lower arms separated by gold-colored bands. The lower arms and elbows are black, the wrists have bands of dark red coloration, and the hands are tipped with three claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar sports swirled yellow features, and its legs and lower underside are red, although its feet are black-colored, rimmed in a spiky manner with gold, and ending in two-toed claws.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire to launch {{m|Fire Punch}}es. It uses its power and speed to master {{type|Fighting}} moves.

===Behavior===
Emboar cares deeply about its allies.

==Trivia==
* Emboar is the only fully evolved [[Generation V]] [[starter Pokémon]] that has a secondary type.
* Also, the Emboar evolution line is the only starter family with a signature move, {{m|Heat Crash}}.
* Emboar is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that is able to learn a damaging {{type|Water}} move, {{m|Scald}}, other than Sunny Form {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Arceus}} holding the Flame Plate.
** This being the case, Emboar is the only starter Pokémon that can learn damaging moves of all three starter types.
* Emboar is the only starter Pokémon that has a different Hidden Ability from its evolutionary relatives.
** Emboar is also the only pig-based Pokémon that cannot have {{a|Thick Fat}} as its ability.
* Emboar has the highest base {{stat|HP}}, base {{stat|Attack}} and single stat of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
** Emboar is tied with {{p|Sceptile}} for the lowest {{stat|Defense}} of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
** Emboar has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Although its Pokédex entry states that it uses fire punches to fight, Emboar is unable to learn {{m|Fire Punch|the move}}.
* Emboar is the heaviest fully evolved {{type|Fire}} starter Pokémon.
* Emboar, {{p|Samurott}} and {{p|Serperior}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* The {{p|Tepig}} family is the only Fire-type starter family where no members have English names that start with the letter "C".

===Origin===
Emboar is based on the soldier of {{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> It and its pre-evolutions, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style. Because of its Chinese style, it may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale {{wp|Journey to the West}}. {{p|Infernape}} is also based on another character from the novel, {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, and has a similar design. It seems to also take inspirations of a {{wp|pig}} or {{wp|boar}} in a {{wp|professional wrestler}}'s or possibly a {{wp|lucha libre}}'s attire. The swirled pattern that surrounds its abdomen is visually similar to the patterns on {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

====Name origin====
"Emboar" is derived from ''ember'' and ''boar''. "Enbuoh" may have the same origin, or it may also be derived from the words 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig) or 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), and 王 ''ō'' (king).

Because it's apparently locked, I'll put it here; ''fracture'' (to break something, usually hard organic material, ie. bone) + ''axe''. {{unsigned|Frugali}}

== Fraxure's pronunciation. ==

Is Fraxure pronounced as "Fracture" or "Fraks-urr"?
[[User:Zarthga|Zarthga]] 16:08, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:How are we supposed to know? Nintendo doesn't release pronunciation guides, and it hasn't appeared in the anime yet, so we have nothing to go on. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 16:21, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia - 26%? ==

''Requiring 38 levels to evolve from Axew and just 10 more to evolve into Haxorus, Fraxure has the distinction of having the lowest relative second-stage evolution requirement, at just 26%.'' - I wonder, how did you count this? because 10/48 is actually 20,83%, not 26% as stated in Trivia. [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] 20:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Requiring 38 levels to evolve from Axew and just 10 more to evolve into Haxorus, Fraxure has the distinction of having the lowest relative second-stage evolution requirement, at just 26%.
* Fraxure was the first Generation V Pokémon to be designed.
===Origin===
Fraxure's tusks are similar in appearance to a {{wp|Scutosaurus|Scutosaurid}}'s or possibly {{wp|Ceratopsia|Ceratopsid}}'s cheekbone tusks and are also similar to {{wp|pickaxe}} blades. Its crest may be based on a {{wp|Hadrosaurid}}'s (more specifically a {{wp|Saurolophus|Saurolophid}}'s or perhaps a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid}}'s) or possibly the {{wp|Plumed basilisk}}'s.

====Name origin====
Fraxure is a portmanteau of the words ''fracture'' (to break something, usually hard organic material, such as bone) and ''axe''. Its Japanese name may come from 斧 ono "axe" and the Latin suffix "don" meaning tooth.

'''Snivy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツタージャ''' ''Tsutarja'') is a {{type2|Grass}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It evolves into {{p|Servine}} starting at level 17, which evolves into {{p|Serperior}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, Snivy is one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] region, able to be chosen at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snivy is a reptilian Grass-type Pokémon. Most of its body is green in coloration, while it has a cream-colored underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail, and it also has yellow markings around its large eyes. Yellow, curved structures protrude from its shoulders and bend backwards. These structures resemble leaves or small wings, as well as a {{wp|fleur-de-lis}} when viewed from the back, and give Snivy the appearance of wearing a collar. In spite of being snake-like in appearance, it has fully-developed limbs. Its slender arms are the same green color as the rest of its body and have three fingers, while its tiny feet match its underside in coloration and have no digits whatsoever. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
It absorbs energy in the sunlight to grow more powerful, which also sharpens its movements and agility.

===Behavior===
It is a smart Pokémon with a cool demeanor. It usually basks in the sun and undergoes photosynthesis with its tail, which droops when it loses energy.

===Habitat===
Mostly they live in tall grass in forests, or in trees.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Juniper Snivy.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Trip's Snivy====
{{main|Trip's Servine}}
In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', [[Professor Juniper]] gave [[Trip]] a {{TP|Trip|Snivy}} as his [[starter Pokémon]]. He was able to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}.

====Ash's Snivy====
{{main|Ash's Snivy}}
Ash's {{AP|Snivy}} first appeared in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She knows {{m|Attract}}, much to the dismay of Ash, who tried to catch her with most of his team being male. She was defeated by Pidove due to both of them having the same gender and Ash successfully captured her.

===Minor appearances===

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Best Wishes''|Unova}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Unova Starters Adventures.png|thumb|right|The Unova Starters]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Snivy is also featured along with the other starter Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga as one of the starters in Professor Juniper's lab. While talking on the phone to Fennel, Tepig spilled some [[Berry Juice]] on Snivy, causing it to fight with Tepig. Eventually Oshawott joined in on the commotion until the three starter Pokémon had managed to make a mess of her office, after which Juniper returned them to their Poké Balls, commenting that she was worried that the three might be too much for their future Trainers.

===In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga===
Snivy is [[Monta]]'s [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[Pokémon Master Black & White]] manga, a "walkthrough comic" based on the Black and White games.

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Snivy and its fellow {{2v2|Black|White}} starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Shortly after its release, much like many other [[Generation V]] Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on video gaming-focused blog [http://kotaku.com/5538319/pokemons-smugleaf-a-meme-in-the-making/ Kotaku] and later in an issue of [[a:File:NZAU Magazine Scan.jpg|Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand]], as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.
* [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy's personality was meant to be similar to that of European (particularly French) royalty, specifically mentioning ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' anime as inspiration. ''The Rose of Versailles'' was also the inspiration for [[Oscar and Andi|two characters of the day]] in the anime.
* Snivy is the first {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its [[regional Pokédex]], although it is still #001. It is also the only Grass-type starter Pokémon that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Snivy has the lowest base stats of all Grass-type starter Pokémon.
* Snivy is the only Grass-type starter Pokémon not in the {{egg3|Monster}} and the first to be classified in the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* Despite what its Pokédex entry for Black says, it cannot have the ability {{a|Chlorophyll}}.

===Origin===
Snivy may be based on ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', a slender snake with a pointed head that inhabits Central America and South America. Its color scheme resembles ''{{wp|Opheodrys aestivus}}'', the North American grass snake that is likely the namesake of Snivy's species designation. The Pokémon's combination of snake- and lizard-like features is also similar to that of the {{wp|skink}}, more specifically the {{wp|Neoseps}}. Neoseps heavily resemble snakes but have small, stubby legs. Its head and general body shape, as well as its protrusions on its shoulders, may be based on the {{wp|birds of paradise flowers}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false birds of paradise}}.

====Name origin====
Snivy could possibly be a combination of ''snake'', ''snide'', ''sly'' and ''ivy''. It may also come from ''snark'', a snide remark, or ''snicker'', a sly or snide laugh. Tsutarja is possibly derived from ツタ ''tsuta'', {{wp|Parthenocissus tricuspidata|Japanese ivy}}, and 蛇 ''ja'', snake.

==Castelia City's slogan==
I edited the page with the slogan, which I obtained from this video. [http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/23718/news/pokmon-black-white-gameplay-video-shows-castelia-city/] --[[User:SpeedSuicune|SpeedSuicune]] 21:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
== Expected future event? ==
Can't we make a template that says something like:

" '''The subject of this article is of a location which has [[Future generations of Pokémon|not yet become available in the games.]]''' This article's contents will change as more information becomes available, perhaps abruptly. Please be cautious when adding information to this article, as rumors and speculation can often be confused with facts.

:::I think the only specialised "future" template we have is the one for new Pokémon and one thats like "this is a current event in the anime".

== Stones on the Dock==
Hey, I don't think the method of getting the elemental stones on the dock is dependent on the monkey you received. I received the water monkey and was given the leaf stone. Can anyone else verify this? [[User:Alloran|Alloran]] 13:11, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
:Apparently, that happens depending on the option you choose when talking to him. I know this because I got a Baoppu and I got a Leaf Stone from him, too. --[[User:Shining Latios|Shining Latios]] 21:05, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Options: "1)Yanappu 2)Baoppu 3)Hiyappu 4)Cancel" Choose one of them, then choose the first option for Yes and you'll receive the stone for that Pokémon. Blow 00:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I added the information about the third dancer (the one with Hiyappu) but for some reason it's not showing up. Anyone knows what's causing the problem? --[[User:Shining Latios|Shining Latios]] 02:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

== Lots of information about Hiun City ==

Hello, I have a lot of information to add, but don't have time to organize. I'll put them here and someone plz add them later to the article.
*There's a Pokémon massagist in the building in front of Game Freak. She gives one massage per day.
*In Atelier Hiun, there's a clown that asks you to show a Pokémon of certain type each day. If you do so, he lets you choose one of the five berries: Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst and Aspear.
*In the north street (way to Route 4), there are 3 buildings:
**In the left one, there's and old man that changes Pokémon names and, in the 11th floor, there's a scientist that asks you two passwords of two words each. This enables the Transfer Machine (similar to Mystery Gift). In the japanese version, the first password is みんな　ハッピー (everyone happy) and the second is かんたん　つうしん (easy conection).
**In the second building to the right, there's a scientist that verifies the number of seen Pokémon. I received the item しんかのきせき (I think this item name is Evolution Locus, but a literal translation would be Evolution Miracle) for showing a Pokédex with 33 seen Pokémon. Searching the net, someone got it with 28 seen Pokémon. What about you?
All information put here may refer only to White version, someone plz verify it in Black version.
I'd like to discuss another thing. The first Dancer I battled was the grass monkey (Yanappu) one. My first Pokémon was Tsutarja. I'd like to know if everyone battled first the Yanappu dancer at Central Park, or if the first battle was with the Dancer that had the monkey of the same type as your first Pokémon. Blow 15:31, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
: Answer to the monkey question: No, you have to battle the Dancer with Yanappu first, it's not dependant on the Starter. I battled him first and my starter was Mijumaru. --[[User:Shining Latios|Shining Latios]] 18:00, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

==Evolution Stone==

Didn't feel like making the addition of this to Stat Increasing Held Items, as I honestly don't have the knowledge of every Pre-Evolution pokemon that this takes effect for.

You get it from the scientist as I stated in the article (In the building with Name Rater) when you have Seen 25+ (or so) Pokemon.

Item Info:

Evolution Stone

A piece of evolutions wonder. If held, a pre-evolved Pokemon's Defense and Sp. Defense will be boosted.

By pre-evolved it seems to mean Pokemon like Pichu, etc that are baby forms of other Pokemon as far as I can figure. I know it didn't change the listed stats for Otamaro when I equipped it with it, or for any of my other Pokemon.{{unsigned|Bugmenot}}
:The stat change due to a held item is never visible on the stats page. I assume it means Pokémon which have at least another evolution stage remaining. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
::From what I've read, the stat increase is greater for Pokemon which have two evolutionary stages left. Don't remember by how much, though. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 13:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
:::As I've written in the section above, it's japanese name is Evolution Miracle. I went back and talked to the scientist again. He says:
:::{{tt|ただし　こうかを　はっきするのは　しんかする　ポケモンの　しんかまえの　じょうたい　だけという|It's said that its effects are activated only on Pokémon that can evolve and that are in a before-evolving condition}}.
:::With this, I think Evolution Miracle is meant to affect only Pokémon that will evolve next level.
:::But I believe all this discussion should be moved to the Stat-increasing held items page. --[[User:Blow|Blow]] '''([[User talk:Blow|話す]])''' 17:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

:Yes. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

== Zorua ==

On the page it says that a girl shows the player a picture of Zorua to put in the pokedex in the Game Freak section in 'Places of Interest', but the Special Pokemon section in 'Pokemon' makes it appear that the player would receive a lv10 Zorua as a gift. Should this be changed so there's no confusion or does the player actually receive a Zorua here? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 15:23, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
:[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=81150 You can get Zorua with the event Celebi here.] —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 15:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Okay :) but if it requires an event Celebi shouldn't it be known as an event pokemon too like the Spiky-Eared Pichu event in Ilex Forest? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 15:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, what's the blue building actually called? because it can be put in Places of Interest where the event can be explained [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 16:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, the blue building is the Game Freak headquarters, which is already in Places of Interest. I believe the true problem is to explain the Transfer Machine, which I pointed in this talk page that need to be added in the article. --[[User:Blow|Blow]] '''([[User talk:Blow|話す]])''' 19:03, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
ah right, the transfer machine does sound quite complicated so i'll leave that to someone more experienced just in case i get it wrong but at least we know where to put it all :) in the meantime, i'm just gonna change the Pokemon section so Zorua appears as an event pokemon [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 19:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
::The [[Transfer Machine]] has it's own article so the full description here is not needed. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
right so that bit's sorted :) turns out it's much harder to change gift into event without the stairs showing up, can someone tell me how to do it/do it for me so i can see how it was done please :)? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 19:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

i've just changed it to 'Only One' like the Creation Trio is in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] (which requires an event Arceus so it was the closest i could get) feel free to change it if you want [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 20:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
:This Zorua is actually a gift. The creation trio... I'm not sure which one, but I think "gift" would be better for them too, since they are not battled. It already mentions that it is event only in the tool tip. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:54, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

==Demographics==
Hello Snorlax Master, I noticed you deleted the "Demographics" section a few days after I created it. I'm puzzled why you would delete it. Might you please explain why you deleted it. Is there a reason that we don't need it... ?

:You should contact him on his talk page instead.[[User:The Sandwich Oven|The Sandwich Oven]] 18:45, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

== Pikachu ==

Wasn't it just stated that they wouldn't appear, as in ''in the wild'', not necessarily not appear all together? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 17:06, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
:After a bit of hunting, I found the {{n|Black and White to feature only Gen V Pokémon pre-National Dex|Bulbanews article}}, with a link to [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=255 Masuda's blog].

==Castellia City==
'''Castellia city''' is the largest city in the pokemon world, with high skyscrapers and a population of 130 plus 4 per second regenarating in streets where they walk along the sidewalk. Why then, is it "one of the largest", do they not count?
--[[User:Italay90|Italay90]] 18:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Because then the population count would go on forever. Too much and impossible. Only those that are stationary count.--[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 19:29, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
::Stop fighting over this because it is totally pointless. Han Ji-Wan, Castelia is the largest city in the Pokémon world by far. Raimon is smaller but has a bigger population, there is a difference. How large a city is is not determined by it's population, it's determined by size and Castelia clearly has Raimon beat. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 01:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Where did you get the idea that Castelia City is the largest city? Where's your proof? Yes, while Castelia looks bigger, grander, and has large skyscrapers, it does not mean it's the largest. For example, Singapore is a dense island city with a lot of tall skyscrapers, while London is more spread out, not as much notable skyscrapers and a larger population. You don't seem to understand the term, "largest city"... Yes, land area OR population mean "largest city", but I'm refering to population. Check your facts before criticizing me.--[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 03:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
::::How am I criticizing you? Oh wait, I'm not. Have you looked at Unova's official artwork. Castelia spans the entire middle peninsula, Raimon doesn't. That easily shows it's plenty bigger. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 03:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::Population is what determines what we consider to be "large" when talking about cities. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 03:36, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::Nate is correct, but I think that we should avoid using the term "large" in this context. Instead, I would suggest "most populous". However, "large" is not incorrect if you are referring to population. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::::That's only partially correct though. Size-wise it is bigger and most people would probably judge a city by size, not population. What's wrong with including them both? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 04:02, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::::It's pretty much impossible to find out what's the largest city in terms of land area. There's the game and the map art and more. The map is in no way, an accurate portrayal of the size of cities because it doesn't show all the details. So yeah, I guess you could do land area for each towns by counting the spaces. Vertically and horizontally and then multiply it to get the total land area.--[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 06:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Lots of english names for places of interest ==

The Piggyback Pkmn B/W gameguide has english names for all the castelia places of interest. I don't know if guides are a reliable source for, especially, english names and if they are names coined by Piggyback. But is anyone interested in knowing the names? And should the names be used instead of the names that are now used on the wiki? Tell me and I'll place them here :) [[User:Alexjuuhh|Alexjuuhh]] 17:19, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

::well, okay then :D I'll only post the ones that are different from the names on the wiki.
::Atelier Castelia = Studio Castelia
::Castelia Ice = Casteliacone
::Café = Café Sonata
::Passerby Survey Squad Headquarters = Passerby Analytics HQ
::Central Area = Castelia Central Area
::The Dock = Cruise Ship Dock
::Also, there's the Name-Rating Services, Pokémon Massage.
::And all the English names for the trainers you can battle in Castelia:
::Clerk ♀ Ingrid, Clerk ♀ Alberta, Scientist Randall, Clerk ♂ Clemens, Clerk ♂ Warren, Scientist Samantha, Scientist Steve, Clerk ♂ Ivan, Clerk ♂ Wade, Janitor Geoff, Dancer Mickey, Dancer Edmond, Dancer Raymond, Harlequin Kerry, Harlequin Jack, Harlequin Louis, Harlequin Rick.
::That's all I could find for now. If I find anything else before the release (4/6 march), I'll post it. (oh and yes, Piggyback listed clowns as Harlequins.)

:I think there's no reason to think that those aren't real. Casteliacone is (Serebii)-confirmed. Also, Harlequin instead of Clown might not be an error, since those are two different classes in Japanese (Pierrot and Clown), so the English versions could've reflected this difference too. What I don't like is that Bussinessmen and OLs are both called "Clerk" but I guess that NoA is the one to be blamed. Also, those guides are generally reliable but they DO have errors here and there. Also, sign your comments. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== Tōya/Tōko confirmation ==

Not a straight-from-game one but [http://pokemon.maruamyu.net/data/bw/btl_subway.html here is the full Battle Subway Trainer List from BW]. Tōya and Tōko are there on the very bottom, next to the Subway Masters. The number next to them stand for [http://pokemon.maruamyu.net/data/bw/btl_subway_poke.html the Pokémon that they use]. I think the pages should be moved now. The problem is - our current Romanization standard.

Can someone tell me what the hell is going on with the Romanizations here? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

'''Time Warp Heals All Wounds''' (Japanese: '''時を超えるハルカ！！''' ''{{tt|Haruka|May}} Travels Through Time!!'') is the 157th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 431st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 22, 2005 and in the United States on October 14, 2006.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
Our heroes begin the next adventure at a [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Fuchsia City]], while inside {{an|Brock}} feeds his newly obtained {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}. [[Nurse Joy]] walks by and gives a friendly greeting as Brock jumps to her side and startles her with his usual romance. After only a few seconds, Bonsly smashes into Brock knocking him backwards and crashing into the ground. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} begins to devour the last of Bonsly's food as it begins to cry uncontrollably. Brock picks Bonsly up and starts to comfort it and lessens its pain. {{Ash}} suggests a [[Pokémon battle]] to {{AP|Pikachu}} and heads outside as {{TP|May|Squirtle}} then follows and {{an|May}} heads after it.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is performing their usual spying techniques and plotting with the usual objective to capture Pikachu. [[James]] spots the stray Squirtle chasing off into the distance as May drags behind. Squirtle finally stops running as it comes upon an abandoned area. May continues her search for Squirtle shouting out as she then comes upon an abandoned building. She walks inside and notices a strange picture perched atop a pedestal. The picture reveals two young people and a {{wp|fir}} tree in the background. As she reaches the other side of the room, May yells out for Squirtle and receives a cry back from Squirtle. May begins to run towards Squirtle as an elderly woman, [[Edna]], is holding Squirtle and found it as it strayed away.

A soft rain begins to fall as a young girl runs down the platform and comes to meet Edna and May as quick introductions are exchanged by the two. Edna speaks a quick word and then grabs an umbrella from the girl and heads down the platform. May notices a picture lying on the bench where Edna is sitting, which resembles Edna in her younger days.

In another location, Ash begins his training as the ever devious [[Jessie]] is just feet away spying on his actions. Ash begins the usual {{m|Volt Tackle}} training with Pikachu as an electrical force begins to rotate around Pikachu's body as it blasts through a mountainous body causing the structure to explode and sends rubble heading towards Jessie's location and collides into her. Pikachu lands as the force dissipates and Ash commends Pikachu for his tactile movements. In another location, James is spying on Brock and [[Max]] inside the Pokémon Center as they devour the food inside.

The young girl and May sit on a ledge as they look at the picture and {{bf|Katrina}} explains that this picture is of Edna in her younger days. Katrina then goes to explain how Edna used to own and operate a [[Pokémon breeding]] Center where they cared for and nurtured [[Pokémon egg]]s. Meanwhile, {{MTR}} spies on May and the girl as she then continues the story about Edna. A train whistle is heard as Edna dashes towards the station while the train disappears into the distance with her husband aboard the train. Edna crashes into a man as she struggles to run for her husband. Her amulet around her neck then breaks away from her neck and flies toward the ground.

Nighttime falls upon our heroes as May's {{pkmn|egg}} begins to glow a faint orange as Nurse Joy takes the egg from her and explains that it is about to hatch soon. Max notices that Squirtle has disappeared as May runs hysterically for the abandoned city and comes to find Meowth sitting atop a bench. While May interrogates Meowth, Squirtle cries out and points towards the ground. May jumps toward the ground and runs over to find Edna's lost amulet. As she opens the amulet she notices a picture of Edna's husband. A mysterious light begins to emit from the amulet as it then envelops the three and they are then transported back in time during the time when Edna's husband is about to make his departure.

A train roars down the track as May and Meowth dash for the train platform. As May and Meowth walk outside of the station, they notice the same tree from before in the first picture that they found. They then come to realize that they've been transported back in time to the exact moment when Edna's husband begins his departure. As they begin to try to explain the situation to each other, Edna's husband walks beside the two and inside the station. A train personnel notices May and Meowth and then removes them from the station. As Edna reads the letter left by her husband and heads for the station, May and Meowth hop inside a balloon and ascend into the air. The last calls for the train are heard as Squirtle begins to launch its {{m|Ice Beam}} towards the sky. After a few seconds, a faint snow begins to fall as the train is then halted. Edna successfully reaches the station but comes to actually find her husband at the station this time. Edna and her husband walk outside to notice the solitary tree covered in snow and glistening with color, created by {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} in a courtship dance. The town has dubbed this phenomena as the 'lights of joy'.

The mysterious light emits from the amulet once more as May and Meowth are then transported back to present time. As she walks outside, the city is now flourishing with citizens as Ash, Max, and Brock rush over to her location. They then rush towards the Pokémon Center as May notices that Edna now has her husband as her companion and has not parted. As the egg grows ever so brightly, the light begins to dissipate to reveal an {{TP|May|Eevee}}. Meowth peers inside as he then hands May her new Eevee. As Jessie and James are preparing to capture Pikachu, Meowth begins to walk off into the distance with Jessie and James shortly following. As night time befalls our heroes, the tree glistens with the 'lights of joy'. With May's newly forged friendship between Eevee and herself, adventure and battle awaits our heroes just over the horizon.

[[Image:Gym Shipping Hint.jpg|230px|right|thumb|Brock pulling Misty's ear]]
'''GymShipping''' (Japanese: '''タケカス''' ''TakeKasu'') is the belief that {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The Ship's name comes from the fact that Brock is the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]], and Misty is the [[Cerulean City]] Gym Leader. It is considered similar to [[WishfulShipping]].

==Anime evidence==
===Misty's Hints===
====During the Indigo League====
*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''
: When Ash and Brock fall in love with [[Giselle]], Misty gets mad. Some say that she was jealous because of Brock, but others say that was because of Ash.

*''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''
: In this episode, Brock asks Misty to dance, and she accepts. They waltz against the music made a by {{p|Dragonite|a large and mysterious Pokémon}}.

*''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: Brock becomes infatuated with a [[Ghost of Maiden's Peak|maiden]] he sees, and when an old lady explains that the Maiden is a ghost who harms men who cross her path, Misty misinterprets, exclaiming, "I must be the beautiful girl, but I'd never hurt Brock!"

*''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''
: In addition, when Ash suggests that the Mermaid on the poster looks like Misty (whilst Brock is still gawking) she bears a expression on her face which can best described as embarrassment.

*''[[Snow Way Out]]''
: After the snow storm, Ash finds out that Brock and Misty found a hot spring, with Misty saying (while blushing), "You can't believe how comfy we were!"

====During the Orange League====
Brock leaves the group and stays on [[Valencia Island]] with [[Professor Ivy]]. At the time, it was believed that he had left for good, and naturally with him gone not many people saw anything further suggesting a romantic relationship between them. However, it can be noted that Misty does mention Brock a couple of times. Once, in where Misty tells {{Tracey}} that the advice Ash is giving is exactly the same as the advice given to him by Brock. The other time is in the episode ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'' when she says that {{p|Golduck}}, when revealing that it likes to impress girls, is a "Pokémon version of Brock". Incidentally, she appears to have been 'infatuated' with the Golduck when she first saw it.

====During the Johto League====
It is during this saga that a new gag is introduced: Brock is now much more overt in his feelings, and so Misty pulls him back (usually his ear, but at times has used other parts of his body, for example his nose) whenever he tries to get the attention of a girl he likes. Some GymShippers have used the ear-pulling as a sign of jealousy, although others believe that it is simply annoyance.

*''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''
: Many Shippers have used this episode to argue that Misty has no feelings for Brock whatsoever and that her response to the question "How do you know?" when she says that "It’s easier to like someone who likes you than someone who doesn’t" is a direct reference to Ash. Other people believe otherwise. In any case, it is interesting to note the fascination that Misty takes in Brock’s love life, going to almost excessive lengths for Brock to return Temacu’s feelings, even if it isn't particularly under his free will.

Brock: But, maybe a relationship should start with ''both'' people liking each other, maybe...
Misty: SHE'S YOUR ONLY HOPE!!! FORCE YOURSELF TO LIKE HER!!!!!

===Brock's Hints===
====During the Indigo League====
*''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''
:In this episode, Brock asks Misty to dance, and the latter generously accepts the offer.

*''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''
:Brock blushes at the image of a girl in a mermaid costume. As the title suggests, the role was filled by Misty. Brock didn't seem disappointed when he found this out.

====During the Hoenn League====
With Misty returning to Cerulean Gym, there wasn't much to be said for GymShipping. However, during her short return in the [[AG044|Mirage Ki]][[AG045|ngdom arc]], it appears that her ear-pulling technique was particularly forceful. There are many who will argue against the ear-pulling due to the fact that [[Max]] took over for her, though it is interesting to note that his ear-pulling was the result of him being impressed by Misty's technique in these two episodes.

====During the Kanto Battle Frontier====
With the Hoenn League finished, Ash returns to Pallet Town and rejoins his friends after they make a temporary return to their homes. The group temporary travels with Misty at Mt. Moon. It appears from this episode that Misty and Brock still share a close friendship, as he was the only one to actually express concern for Misty's well-being when the group gets split up. Ash, meanwhile, was worried about Pikachu, and May's primary concern was for Max.

===Movie evidence===
*''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]''
When Misty hurts her knee, Brock helps her out by carrying her on his back. Also, when she first hurt it, Brock seemed the most concerned about her, even putting his hand on her shoulder and kneeling down beside her.

==Manga Evidence==
===Electric Tale of Pikachu===
However, in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, there are instances where Brock seems to find Misty attractive. This particularly happens during a scene in a hot spring in the second volume (though the scene was cut from the American release of the manga). Since, however, there are many discrepancies between the anime and manga which lead many to believe that one ending doesn't have to necessarily follow the other, the manga is usually not considered by Shippers who only follow the relationship in the anime.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Brock and Misty are both well-known [[Gym Leader]]s in the [[Kanto]] Region. Along with [[Erika]] and later [[Blaine]], Brock and Misty belong to the Justice Gym Leaders who protect and aid the people with their Pokémon against evil like [[Team Rocket]]. The two of them are shown visiting {{adv|Red}} in [[Pallet Town]]. There's not much hint between them, except for the time Misty gets attacked by {{p|Suicune}}. Brock shows concern when Misty goes missing. As Suicune tests Misty's ability as a trainer in battle, Brock wants to help Misty.

==Similarities/Coincidences==
* Both are/were Gym Leaders.
* Both have left the main group.
* Both have been proposed to (Misty by [[Rudy]] in the Japanese version).
* Misty and [[Lola]] (Brock's mother) both have a passion for {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, and Water Pokémon appears to be a focus of Brock's as well.
* Both have/had [[baby Pokémon]]: Misty had {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and now has {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, and Brock had {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny|Chansey}}. Also, Brock was the one to take care of Togepi's {{pkmn|egg}}.
* Both have a similar view on love and romance...
:* Brock: "Love is War, and if you want to win a war you'll have to use ammunition!!...I bet {{p|Azumarill}} will love a jar of my home-made [[Pokémon food|Pokémon treats]]! Give her this and I bet she'll call a truce.... or even an unconditional surrender!"
:* Misty: "You've got to be assertive! Love is all about attacking your opponent first! Get in a quick punch and surprise them, and while they're still weak take the lead and you'll beat them hands down! Trust me I know, that's the best way to win!"
* Both have frog-like Pokémon, with {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} for Misty and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} for Brock.
* Both have or had a baby Pokémon which is of the Normal type and can [[Evolution|evolve]] twice: Happiny for Brock and Azurill and Togepi for Misty.

==Trivia==
*It is also interesting to note, that in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, when both are in the [[Fighting Dojo]], they are next to each other, unlike anyone else in the dojo. However, this could be just a reference to their roles in the anime.

'''Chuck''' (Japanese: '''シジマ''' ''Shijima'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cianwood City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, officially known as the [[Cianwood Gym]]. His specialty is {{type2|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Chuck gives out the {{badge|Storm}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who beat him.

==In the games==
[[File:Gold Silver Chuck.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Chuck from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Chuck appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. A {{type2|Fighting}} Trainer, he is known to spar with his Pokémon to train both them and himself. His in-game title is "His Roaring Fists Do the Talking". Chuck is married, but spends little time with [[Chuck's wife|his wife]]. She isn't too fond of this, and spends her time standing outside the gym, perhaps waiting in hope that he will come home.

Chuck's gym is very different between the two generations it has appeared. In [[Generation II]], once challengers have made their way through his gym, Chuck will attempt to intimidate them before battle by telling how his Pokémon "will crush stones and shatter bones." He then lifts and tosses a boulder prior to accepting the challenge. In [[Generation IV]], Chuck awaits his challengers underneath a large waterfall. He will not notice the player approach him until the water under which he has been meditating stops flowing.

Chuck enjoys a good battle, but after losing he vows to train 24 hours a day. After he is defeated, his wife will give the player {{HM|02|Fly}}, which the successful Trainer will now be able to use outside of battle. She also comments that she is grateful that her husband would be doing more training, since he was getting "a little chubby". In addition to the {{badge|Storm}}, Chuck gives out {{TM|01|DynamicPunch}} in Generation II; {{m|Focus Punch}} in Generation IV).

Chuck can be found in his gym most of the time, but on Sundays the player can have their [[Photography|picture taken]] with him in the northwestern corner of [[Johto Route 47|Route 47]] (just south of where the [[White Flute]] is found). Because of his punishing training schedule, his phone number can be obtained not from him, but from his wife. If the player calls him on a Wednesday night, Chuck will travel to [[Saffron City]] to battle with an enhanced team in the [[Fighting Dojo]].

Chuck also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only time he can be fought using Pokémon not of the {{type2|Fighting}}; his second six-Pokémon team in this game is actually composed of only two Fighting-type Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Chuck Anime.png|thumb|right|230px|Chuck in the anime]]
Chuck made his only {{pkmn|anime}} appearance in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} met a man roughhousing with a {{p|Machoke}}. After following him, Ash discovered that the man was Chuck, [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. Even though he is the Fighting master, he gets tired easily as he is a little fat. His {{TP|Chuck|wife}} continually makes fun of him because of this. He is positive-minded and emotional and has a tendency to break out into tears if happy. His battle technique is to battle with his Pokémon to improve their concentration.

Later, Chuck and Ash had their battle for a Storm Badge. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}} who got defeated by Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}. Ash then used {{AP|Bayleef}} who defeated both Poliwrath and Machoke.

It was later revealed that [[Brawly]], the [[Dewford Town]] Gym Leader, used to be one of the many students of Chuck.

|desc=Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}} was used as the first Pokémon against Ash in the Gym battle.

It dodged Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, until it was hit by the fourth one. It then managed to hold off Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}}, using {{m|Focus Energy}} and then used {{m|DoubleSlap}}, knocking out Pikachu.

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

Poliwrath's known moves are {{m|Focus Energy}}, {{m|DoubleSlap}}, and {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

Machoke made its appearance in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''. Chuck and Machoke have a close bond of friendship with one another. This can be seen when both of them cry and hug each other when they are happy. They fight with each other often to improve their concentration in battles; they use this technique even before important matches.

Chuck used it against Ash's {{p|Bayleef}} in a Gym battle. With a powerful {{m|Submission}} attack, Machoke almost defeated Bayleef, but with {{Ash}}'s support, Bayleef won the match.

Machoke's known moves are {{m|Karate Chop}}, {{m|Submission}}, {{m|Focus Energy}}, and {{m|Cross Chop}}.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Chuck and Whitney.png|thumb|225px|Chuck and his Hitmontop (left) with [[Whitney]] and her Miltank (bottom)]]
Chuck taught {{adv|Blue}} martial arts and how to train Pokémon when the boy was very young.
[[Image:Chuck HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|100px|left|Chuck in the ''HG/SS'' chapter]]
He initially was training for a battle with [[Walker]] in his first appearance in {{PAV|10}}, but found that he was too late. He then noticed something amiss when he found his sandbags and Walker's jacket slashed, but then he met {{p|Suicune}}, and with help from Walker. He figured out that it was the cause of the jacket and sandbags and attempted to catch it with Walker, but to no avail as previous Gym Leaders such as [[Clair]] had tried to do.

Three volumes later, as fate would have it, Chuck would find himself facing the very disciple he himself raised in the opening ceremony of the [[Indigo League]], and after a tough fight, his {{p|Hitmontop}} fell to Blue's [[Blue (Adventures)#Rhydon|Rhydon]]. Impressed with his student's progress, especially using a newly captured Pokémon he had to raise anew, Chuck acknowledged Blue as a Gym Leader worthy of his title.

Afterwards, when members of [[Team Rocket]] under the [[Masked Man]]'s command come to ambush the unsuspecting lambs of the Pokémon League, Chuck, alongside other members of the 16 Gym Leaders, fought in the [[Magnet Train]] to stop the Rockets' advances, not knowing it was a diversion.

Years later, Chuck, [[Falkner]], and [[Bugsy]] appear before {{Adv|Silver}}, where his Hitmontop once again clashed with the Rhydon it had fought with, [[Silver (Adventures)#Rhyperior|evolved]].

[http://i.imgur.com/dbEPJ.gif Here's] an animated sprite I made. It's not perfect, but at least it's better than the current static image. --[[User:SpeedSuicune|SpeedSuicune]] 16:20, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

==Черен==
"Черен" means "black" in Russian also. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] 08:23, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
:Nope. Russian for black is {{tt|чёрный|Chornyi}}. I'm learning the language. Also, I think that rather than wondering what language is it taken from, we should say that it's actually a SLAVIC root. Russian, Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Ukrainian etc. - those are all Slavic languages and the words for "black" and "white" are very similar in all of them, as they all came from the same Proto-Slavic root. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:47, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
::So isn't "черен" a short form of "чёрный" like "бел" (Bel) is a short form of "белый"? [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] 10:27, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Well, it's possible. But such forms seem to be very rarely used and somewhat obsolete. I really think that it's hard to specify what language are the names Bel and Cheren derived from. Both are from common Slavonic roots běl- and čĭrn- which evolved differently in respective languages. I'm a linguist (not a professional yet but studying and striving to become one), so if you've got questions about such thing, then call me. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
::::Well, thanks :) [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] 13:53, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

== Starter choice ==

Pokebeach has confirmed that Cheren chooses the starter strong against yours. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 20:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

== yeah about the manga info ==

the chapter's already out and Cheren does appear in it with Pokabu (Pokabu only uses Ember in thc chapter) so the line should be changed so that it's current [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:18, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
:Changed, thanks. I only knew about the preview on CoroCoro's site... I didnt realize the chapter was already released. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 05:25, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
::also Wargle makes an appearance too(belonging to some old guy), more info is on the forums along with (not so good) pictures of it... [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:56, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

== Hair ==

Shouldn't we note that Cheren has black hair (or at least, dark hair), corresponding to the name and Bel vice versa with lighter hair?-[[User talk:444Zekrom|444]][[User:444Zekrom|Z]][[Zekrom|ekrom]] 06:57, 04 September 2010 (UTC)

== wrong sprite ==

the sprite used is the sprite shown in the intro after naming your character. the sprite used in battle is different. same with bel. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 06:53, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, the link on the 8th battle goes to the Victory Road disambiguation page. Shouldn't it go to the Unova victory road page? I tried changing it, but i'm not that familiar with the code here and buggered it up, so i changed it back to what it was again. If anyone could do that, it's be great.

'''Castelia City''' (Japanese: '''ヒウンシティ''' ''Hiun City'') is a large seaside city located in south central [[Unova]]. Unlike past cities, Castelia is a huge, sprawling metropolis, sporting many towering skyscrapers and other tall buildings. The city exists on Unova's central peninsula, south of the desert and north of the sea, making for a perfect harbor city.

The city has only two possible entrances on foot: from the desert in the north, and from Unova's eastern third by way of the [[Skyarrow Bridge]].

Castelia City is geographically the largest city in the [[Pokémon world]], and contains many structural elements that have not been seen in cities in other regions. The city's core is a {{wp|central business district}}, with huge skyscrapers and other commercial buildings; a series of alleyways lead into this core, where smaller shops are set up among city traffic. The city's outskirts are bounded on all sides by harbor, where ships provide traffic to other regions in the Pokémon world.

==Trivia==
[[File:Castelia Pikachu.png|thumb|Pikachu inside the building]]
* Even though it was officially stated that no Pokémon from previous generations would appear in {{game|Black and White|s}} before obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], a {{p|Pikachu}} can be seen with a {{tc|Hiker}} inside the same building as the [[Name Rater]] in Castelia City. Another Pikachu is depicted on a billboard in the city, above the [[Pokémon Center]]. They most likely meant that players could not obtain or battle any Pokémon before the National Pokédex, however.

Accumula Town appeared in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice]]''. It is quite a large town and a [[Battle Club]] is located there.

==Trivia==
There is a house in a high terrain on the northeasternmost point in the town, that introduces a couple of musicians that upon request, add a piano and drum beats to the town's main theme, thus being the first town that changes the music because of [[NPC]] characters, however, the theme returns back to normal once the [[player]] leaves the town and returns.

'''Zorua''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゾロア''' ''Zorua'') is a {{type2|Dark}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It evolves into {{p|Zoroark}} starting at level 30.

It, along with its evolution, were the first [[Generation V]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 10, 2010.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zorua is a fox-like Pokémon, mainly slate-gray in coloration with red and black accents on its head and feet. Zorua's ears are triangular with dark insides, and it has a large, whorled scruff of fur on its head, tipped with red coloration. Its eyes appear to possess no pupils, and its eyelids and circular "eyebrow" markings are red. Zorua possesses a ruff of black fur around its neck, and limbs tipped with red. Its tail is bushy, and when it opens its mouth small fangs can be seen developing.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Zorua are capable of changing their physical appearance. Unlike the transformations that are caused by the move {{m|Transform}}, this transformation is merely an {{a|illusion}}, allowing Zorua to keep its own type and moves. As evident in its movie appearance, whenever a Zorua takes on a human form, its tail still remains; when its tail is touched, the Zorua reverts back to its true form instantly. Zorua, along with its {{p|Zoroark|evolution}}, are the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Night Burst}}.

===Behavior===
Zorua takes on the appearance of other Pokémon to frighten off enemies. Sometimes it will take the form of a silent child. It keeps its true form hidden to ensure its safety. As shown in its movie appearance, Zorua are mischievous and will sometimes laugh at the enemies it confuses when it takes on their form. They will also laugh after they are forced back into their forms, snickering at the harmless mischief it caused. Zorua will sometimes laugh at enemies, even when it is in a dangerous situation.

===Habitat===
The only known wild Zorua resides in [[Castelia City]].

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Zorua movie.png|thumb|250px|Zorua in the movie]]
===Major appearances===
====Zorua (movie 13)====
{{OBP|Zorua|movie 13}} debuted in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', where it was used by the antagonist, [[Grings Kodai]], to blackmail its mother {{OBP|Zoroark|movie 13}} into attacking Crown City. It escaped and met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}, before befriending {{OBP|Celebi|movie 13}}. It and Celebi were captured by Kodai, but were able to defeat him with help from Zoroark and the three {{shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] serving as Crown City's guardians.

====Other====

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Zorua Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Zorua in Pokémon Adventures]]
A Zorua appeared in Castelia City where it fought {{adv|Black}}'s Poka, teasing it throughout the entire battle before escaping.

}}
==Trivia==
* Zorua was first revealed with its evolved form, {{p|Zoroark}}, in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Although not a legendary Pokémon, both Zorua and Zoroark can only be obtained in the game using an event legendary Pokémon. In this case, Zorua can only be obtained using an event {{p|Celebi}}.

===Origin===
Zorua is likely based on a {{wp|fox}} cub, with facial markings resembling {{wp|Kabuki}} or {{wp|Noh}} theatre makeup. The concept of a Zorua still having its tail while in human form, is similar to the Japanese folklore of the {{wp|Kitsune}}, a shape-shifting fox who, in some stories, has difficulty of hiding its tail when it takes on human forms.

====Name origin====
Zorua comes from ''zorro'', Spanish for "fox". ''Rua'' is Irish for red (hair), possibly referring to its red fur.

==Title defence==
"''It is assumed that the Champion must defend their title against challengers, although this is never explicitly stated.''"

What about when you fight Blue in R/B. They say he's the champion, then you have to fight him to become champion, you beat him and oh noes he is no longer the top-dog. That looks to me like a title defence. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:39, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As someone else noted in another article - the problem with that is FireRed and LeafGreen alone - where when you fight the Elite Four the second time (and in terms of the story - they recognize it's the second time, too) and Blue is the champion agian. - Zeta

That is a problem. But to me that would say that in the game, that it's possible to have more than one champion at the same time, no? Or maybe Game Freak just screwed up. Maybe the translators screwed up, does the original Japanese version share the same not-champion, now-chamption mixup? - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:56, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What I don't understand is why, in the games, the main goals are: catch all Pokémon, and '''BECOME THE CHAMPION'''. Yet when you beat the Elite Four/Champion, you can go back and re-chalenge the Champion, even though the game '''says''' you are the Champ, and the Champion has the same speech and is called '''"Champion''' *blank*". It is a '''HUGE''' loophole in the games. Why not retire the old Champ or have them say that you are the Champ now in their pre-battle speech? [[User:GuyNamedSean|GuyNamedSean]] 02:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GameplayAndStorySegregation Sometimes things that should happen don't, because it's a game. It's better if there's a always high-level opponent that you can challenge at any time]. Because of that, they're not going to ''retire'' the game champ. But not changing the speech? Yeah, that's laziness.

== Obvious rename ==

Let's rename this to "Pokémon League Champion"; "Pokémon champion" sounds like it is describing someone who is a champion at something else, like contests or Battle Tower. In other words, Pokémon League Champion=moreo specifico. [[User:PH1RESTRIKE|PH1RESTRIKE]] 02:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
